City of Wylie, Texas
Debt Management Policy
I. Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to establish parameters and provide guidance governing the
issuance, management, continuous evaluation of and reporting on all debt obligations issued by
the City of Wylie, and to provide for the preparation and implementation necessary to ensure
compliance and conformity with this policy. Advantages of a debt policy are as follows:
● Enhances the quality of decisions by imposing order and discipline
● Promotes consistency and continuity in decision making
● Identifies objectives for staff to implement
● Demonstrates a commitment to long term financial planning objectives
II. Policy Statement
Under the governance and guidance of Federal and State laws and the City’s Charter, ordinances
and resolutions, the City may periodically enter into debt obligations to finance the construction
or acquisition of infrastructure and other assets; or to refinance existing debt for the purpose of
meeting its governmental obligation to its residents. It is the City’s desire and direction to
ensure that such debt obligations are issued and administered in such fashion as to obtain the
best long-term financial advantage to the City and its residents, while making every effort to
maintain and improve the City’s bond ratings.
The City shall not issue debt obligations or utilize debt proceeds to finance current operations of
City Government.
III. General Debt Governing Policies
The City establishes the following policies concerning the issuance and management of debt:
● The City will not issue debt obligations or use debt proceeds to finance current
operations or normal maintenance.
● Debt financing includes general obligation bonds, certificates of obligation, revenue
bonds, lease/purchase agreements and other obligations permitted to be issued under
Texas law.
27
09/23/2025 Item E.
Original Issue: September 22, 2020
Presented for approval: September 23, 2025
● The City shall review its outstanding debt annually for the purpose of determining if the
financial marketplace will afford the City the opportunity to refund an issue and lessen
its debt service costs. As a general rule, the present value savings of a particular
refunding should exceed four percent (4%) of the refunded maturities, unless a
restructuring or bond covenant revision is necessary in order to facilitate the ability to
provide services or issue additional debt in accordance with established debt policies.
● The City will utilize debt obligations only for acquisition, construction, reconstruction or
renovation of capital improvement projects that cannot be funded from current
revenue sources or in such cases where it is more equitable to the users of the project
to finance the project over its useful life.
● The City will measure the impact of debt service requirements of outstanding and
proposed debt obligations on a single year, five, ten, and twenty year period. This
analysis will consider debt service maturities and payment patterns.
● The City will seek the advice and services of the Financial Advisor in performing the
bond issuance process. The City will also seek the advice of Bond Counsel as to the
legality and tax-exempt status of any obligations.
● The City shall use a competitive bidding process in the sale of debt unless the nature of
the issue warrants a negotiated sale. The City shall attempt to award the bonds based
on a true interest cost (TIC) basis. However, the City may award bonds based on a net
interest cost (NIC) basis as long as the Financial Advisor agrees that the NIC basis can
satisfactorily determine the lowest and best bid.
● Credit enhancements are mechanisms which guarantee principal and interest payments.
They include bond insurance and a line or letter of credit. A credit enhancement, while
costly, will usually bring a lower interest rate on debt and a higher rating from the rating
agencies, thus lowering overall costs. During debt issuance planning the Financial
Advisor will advise the City whether or not a credit enhancement is cost effective.
● The bond proceeds will be invested in accordance with the City’s investment policy.
Interest earnings received on the investment of bond proceeds shall be used to assist in
paying the costs associated with the capital project.
● The City is committed to continued disclosure of financial and pertinent credit
information relevant to the City’s outstanding securities and will abide by the provisions
of Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Rule 15c2-12 concerning primary and
secondary market disclosure.
28
09/23/2025 Item E.
Original Issue: September 22, 2020
Presented for approval: September 23, 2025
IV. Debt Limit
● The State of Texas statutes do not prescribe a legal debt limit on the amount of
outstanding bonds.
● The charter for the City of Wylie, Texas does not provide a debt limit.
V. Specific Debt Ratios and Measurement
This section of the debt management policy establishes the target debt ratios and measurements for the
City.
As the City periodically addresses its ongoing needs, the City Manager and the City Council must ensure
that future elected officials will have the flexibility to meet the capital needs of the City. Since neither
State law nor the City Charter provides any limits on the amount of debt which may be incurred, this
policy establishes targets which should provide future flexibility.
Purposes of Issuance - The City will issue debt obligations for acquiring, constructing,
reconstructing or renovating Capital Improvements or for refinancing existing debt obligations.
Projects must be designed as public purpose projects by the City Council prior to funding.
Maximum Maturity - All debt obligations shall have a maximum maturity of the earlier of: a)
the estimated useful life of the Capital Improvements being financed; or b) twenty years; or c) in
the event they are being issued to refinance outstanding debt obligations, the final maturity of
the debt obligations being refinanced, unless a longer term is recommended by the Financial
Advisor.
Net Debt Per Capita - Is the amount of general bonded debt outstanding for each citizen of a
jurisdiction. Net direct debt is the sum of all general obligation bonds outstanding less the year-
end balance of the debt service fund. The City shall strive to maintain the current Net Direct
Debt Per Capita at or below $2,000.00.
Net Debt to Assessed Value - Assessed valuation shows the fiscal capacity of the tax base. The
City shall strive to maintain a ratio of Net Direct Debt to Assessed Value of properties in the City
at or below four percent (4%).
Bond Covenants and Laws - The City shall comply with all covenants and requirements of the
bond resolutions, the State and Federal laws authorizing and governing the issuance and
administration of debt obligations.

I. PURPOSE STATEMENT
The overriding goal of the Financial Management Policies is to enable the city to achieve a long-term stable
and positive financial condition while conducting its operations consistent with the Council-Manager form
of government established in the City Charter. The watchwords of the city's financial management include
integrity, prudent stewardship, planning, accountability, and full disclosure.
The purpose of the Financial Management Policies is to provide guidelines for the financial management
staff in planning and directing the city's day-to-day financial affairs and in developing recommendations
to the City Manager.
The scope of the policies spans accounting, auditing, financial reporting, internal controls, operating and
capital budgeting, revenue management, cash management, expenditure control and debt management.
II. ACCOUNTING, AUDITING, AND FINANCIAL REPORTING
A. ACCOUNTING - The city's Assistant Finance Director is responsible for establishing the chart of
accounts, and for properly recording financial transactions.
B. FUNDS - Self-balancing groups of accounts are used to account for city financial transactions
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Each fund is created for a specific
purpose except for the General Fund, which is used to account for all transactions not accounted
for in other funds. Funds are created and fund names are changed by City Council.
C. EXTERNAL AUDITING - The city will be audited annually by outside independent auditors. The
auditors must be a CPA firm of national reputation, and must demonstrate that they have the
breadth and depth of staff to conduct the city's audit in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards, generally accepted government auditing standards, and contractual
requirements. The auditors' report on the city's financial statements including any federal grant
single audits will be completed within 120 days of the city's fiscal year end, and the auditors'
management letter will be presented to the city staff within 150 days after the city's fiscal year
end. An interim management letter will be issued prior to this date if any materially significant
internal control weaknesses are discovered. The city staff and auditors will jointly review the
management letter with the City Council within 60 days of its receipt by the staff.
D. EXTERNAL AUDITORS RESPONSIBLE TO CITY COUNCIL – The external auditors are accountable
to the City Council and will have access to direct communication with the City Council if the city
staff is unresponsive to auditor recommendations or if the auditors consider such communication
necessary to fulfill their legal and professional responsibilities.
E. EXTERNAL AUDITOR ROTATION - The city will not require external auditor rotation, but will
circulate requests for proposal for audit services periodically, normally at five-year intervals or
less. An award of services to the same audit firm is allowable but will require rotation of the audit
partner and audit manager after five consecutive years. The rest period for the audit partner will
be a minimum of two years and the rest period for the audit manager will be a minimum of five
years.
32
09/23/2025 Item F.
Revised: January 24, 2023
Submitted for Review: September 23, 2025
F. EXTERNAL FINANCIAL REPORTING - The city will prepare and publish an Annual Comprehensive
Financial Report (ACFR). The ACFR will be prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and will be presented annually to the Government Finance Officers
Association (GFOA) for evaluation and possibly awarding of the Certification of Achievement for
Excellence in Financial Reporting. The ACFR will be published and presented to the City Council
within 120 days after the end of the fiscal year. City staffing limitations may preclude such timely
reporting. In such a case, the Finance Director will inform the City Manager and the City Manager
will inform the City Council of the delay and the reasons therefore.
III. INTERNAL CONTROLS
A. WRITTEN PROCEDURES - The Finance Director is responsible for developing city-wide written
guidelines on accounting, cash handling, and other financial matters which will be approved by
the City Manager.
The Finance Department will assist department managers as needed in tailoring these guidelines
into detailed written procedures to fit each department's requirements.
B. INTERNAL AUDIT - The Finance Department may conduct reviews of the departments to
determine if the departments are following the written guidelines as they apply to the
departments. Finance will also review the written guidelines on accounting, cash handling and
other financial matters. Based on these reviews Finance will recommend internal control
improvements as needed.
C. DEPARTMENT MANAGERS RESPONSIBLE - Each department manager is responsible to the City
Manager to ensure that good internal controls are followed throughout his or her department,
that all guidelines on accounting and internal controls are implemented, and that all independent
and internal auditor internal control recommendations are addressed.
IV. OPERATING BUDGET
A. PREPARATION - The city's "operating budget" is the city's annual financial operating plan. It
consists of governmental and proprietary funds, including the general obligation Debt Service
Fund, but excluding capital projects funds. The budget is prepared by the City Manager with the
assistance of the Finance Department and cooperation of all city departments. The City Manager
transmits the document to the City Council. The budget should be presented to the City Council
no later than August 5 or a date to be determined by the City Council, and should be enacted by
the City Council prior to fiscal year end. The operating budget will be submitted to the GFOA
annually for evaluation and possible awarding of the Award for Distinguished Budget
Presentation.
B. BALANCED BUDGETS -An Operating budget will be balanced, with current revenues, exclusive
of beginning resources, greater than or equal to current expenditures/expenses.
33
09/23/2025 Item F.
Revised: January 24, 2023
Submitted for Review: September 23, 2025
C. PLANNING - The budget process will be coordinated so as to identify major policy issues for
City Council.
D. BUDGETED DRAWDOWN OF RESERVES - One-time purchases may be requested by the City
Manager through the budget process, subject to the Fund Balance Policy in section IX of the
Policies.
E. REPORTING - Periodic financial reports will be prepared to enable the department managers
to manage their budgets and to enable the Budget Manager to monitor and control the budget
as approved by the City Council. Monthly financial reports will be presented to the City Council.
Such reports will include current year revenue and expenditures.
F. CONTROL - Operating Expenditure Control is addressed in Section VII of the Policies.
G. PERFORMANCE MEASURES AND PRODUCTIVITY INDICATORS – Where appropriate,
performance measures and productivity indicators will be used as guidelines and reviewed for
efficiency and effectiveness. This information will be included in the annual budgeting process.
V. CAPITAL BUDGET AND PROGRAM
A. PREPARATION - The city's capital budget will include all capital projects funds and all capital
resources. The budget will be prepared annually on a fiscal year basis and adopted by ordinance.
The capital budget will be prepared by the City Manager with assistance from the Finance
Department and involvement of all required city departments.
B. CONTROL - All capital project expenditures must be appropriated in the capital budget. Finance
must certify the availability of resources so an appropriation can be made before a capital project
contract is presented by the City Manager to the City Council for approval.
C. PROGRAM PLANNING - The capital budget will include capital improvements programs for
future years. The planning time frame should normally be five years. The replacement and
maintenance for capital items should also be projected for the next five years at a minimum.
Future maintenance and operations will be fully costed, so that these costs can be considered in
the operating budget.
D. ALTERNATE RESOURCES - Where applicable, assessments, impact fees, or other user-based
fees should be used to fund capital projects which have a primary benefit to certain property
owners.
E. DEBT FINANCING - Recognizing that debt is usually a more expensive financing method,
alternative financing sources will be explored before debt is issued. When debt is issued, it will be
used to acquire major assets with expected lives that equal or exceed the average life of the debt
issue. The exceptions to this requirement are the traditional costs of marketing and issuing the
debt, capitalized labor for design and construction of capital projects, and small component parts
which are attached to major equipment purchases.
34
09/23/2025 Item F.
Revised: January 24, 2023
Submitted for Review: September 23, 2025
F. STREET MAINTENANCE - The city recognizes that deferred street maintenance increases future
capital costs by an estimated 5 to 10 times. Therefore, the City's goal is to allocate a portion of
the General Fund budget each year to maintain the quality of streets. The amount will be
established annually so that repairs will be made amounting to a designated percentage of the
value of the streets.
G. WATER/WASTEWATER MAIN REHABILITATION AND REPLACEMENT - The city recognizes that
deferred water/wastewater main rehabilitation and replacement increases future costs due to
loss of potable water from water mains and inflow and infiltration into wastewater mains.
Therefore, to ensure that the rehabilitation and replacement program is adequately funded, the
City's goal will be to dedicate an amount equal to at least 1 % of the undepreciated value of
infrastructure annually to provide for a water and wastewater main repair and replacement
program.
H. REPORTING - Periodic financial reports will be prepared to enable the department managers
to manage their capital budgets and to enable the finance department to monitor the capital
budget as authorized by the City Manager.
VI. REVENUE MANAGEMENT
A. SIMPLICITY - The city will strive to keep the revenue system simple which will result in a
decrease of compliance costs for the taxpayer or service recipient and a corresponding decrease
in avoidance to pay. The city will avoid nuisance taxes, fees, or charges as revenue sources.
B. CERTAINTY - An understanding of the revenue source increases the reliability of the revenue
system. The city will try to understand its revenue sources, and enact consistent collection policies
so that assurances can be provided that the revenue base will materialize according to budgets
and plans.
C. EQUITY - The city will strive to maintain equity in the revenue system structure. That is, the city
will seek to minimize or eliminate all forms of subsidization between entities, funds, services,
utilities and customers. However, it is recognized that public policy decisions may lead to subsidies
in certain circumstances, e.g., senior citizen property tax exemptions or partial property tax
abatement.
D. ADMINISTRATION - The benefits of revenue will exceed the cost of producing the revenue. The
cost of collection will be reviewed annually for cost effectiveness as a part of the indirect cost,
and cost of services analysis.
E. REVENUE ADEQUACY - The city will require that there be a balance in the revenue system. That
is, the revenue base will have the characteristics of fairness and neutrality as it applies to cost of
service, willingness to pay, and ability to pay.
F. COST/BENEFIT OF ABATEMENT - The city will use due caution in the analysis of any tax, fee, or
water and wastewater incentives that are used to encourage development. A cost/benefit (fiscal
35
09/23/2025 Item F.
Revised: January 24, 2023
Submitted for Review: September 23, 2025
impact) analysis will be performed as a part of such analysis and presented to the appropriate
entity considering using such incentive.
G. DIVERSIFICATION AND STABILITY - In order to protect the government from fluctuations in
revenue source due to fluctuations in the economy, and variations in weather (in the case of water
and wastewater), a diversified revenue system will be maintained.
H. NON-RECURRING REVENUES - One-time revenues will not be used for ongoing operations.
Non-recurring revenues will be used only for non-recurring expenditures. Care will be taken not
to use these revenues for budget balancing purposes.
I. PROPERTY TAX REVENUES - Property shall be assessed at 100% of the fair market value as
appraised by the Collin County Central Appraisal District. Reappraisal and reassessment shall be
done regularly as required by State law. A 100% collection rate will serve as a minimum for tax
collection.
All delinquent taxes will be aggressively pursued, with delinquents greater than 150 days being
turned over to the City Attorney or a private attorney, and a penalty assessed to compensate the
attorney as allowed by State law, and in accordance with the attorney's contract. Annual
performance criteria will be developed for the attorney regarding the collection of delinquent
taxes.
J. PARKS AND RECREATION 4B SALES TAX REVENUE - Parks and Recreation 4B sales tax revenue
shall supplement but not supplant the funding for the Parks and Recreation System in the General
Fund and the Recreation Center Department of the Parks and Recreation 4B Sales Tax Revenue
Fund.
K. USER-BASED FEES - For services associated with a user fee or charge, the direct and indirect
costs of that service will be offset by a fee where possible. There will be an annual review of fees
and charges to ensure that fees provide adequate coverage of costs and services. User charges
may be classed as "full cost recovery," "partial costs recovery," and "minimal cost recovery,"
based upon City Council policy.
L. IMPACT FEES - Impact fees will be imposed for water, wastewater, and transportation in
accordance with the requirements of State law. The staff working with the particular impact fee
shall prepare a semi-annual report on the capital improvement plans and fees. Additionally, the
impact fees will be re-evaluated at least every three years as required by law.
M. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGES - A method will be maintained whereby the
General Fund can impose a charge to the enterprise funds for general and administrative services
(indirect costs) performed on the enterprise funds' behalf. The calculation will be based upon the
percentage of personnel time and other resources attributed to the Enterprise Fund by each
department of the General Fund. The details will be documented and said information will be
maintained in the Finance Department for review.
36
09/23/2025 Item F.
Revised: January 24, 2023
Submitted for Review: September 23, 2025
N. UTILITY RATES - The city will review utility rates annually and, if necessary, adopt new rates to
generate revenues required to fully cover operating expenditures, meet the legal restrictions of
all applicable bond covenants, and provide for an adequate level of working capital needs. This
policy does not preclude drawing down cash balances to finance current operations. However, it
is best that any extra cash balance be used instead to finance capital projects.
O. PARKS AND RECREATION 4B FUND BALANCE - The Parks and Recreation 4B Fund Balance shall
be established to protect property tax payers from excessive volatility caused by the fluctuations
in the Parks and Recreation 4B sales tax revenue. It will be funded with revenues of the Parks and
Recreation 4B Fund. The city's goal will be to maintain the Fund Balance at 25% of the annual
Parks and Recreation 4B sales tax budgeted revenue.
P. UTILITY FUND BALANCE - The Utility Fund shall maintain a Fund Balance to protect ratepayers
from excessive utility rate volatility. It may not be used for any other purpose. It will be funded
with surplus revenues of the Utility Fund. The City's goal will be to maintain the Utility Fund
Balance at 90 days of budgeted expenditures.
Q. INTEREST INCOME - Interest earned from investment of available monies, whether pooled or
not, will be distributed to the funds in accordance with the operating and capital budgets which,
wherever possible, will be in accordance with the equity balance of the fund from which monies
were provided to be invested.
R. REVENUE MONITORING - Revenues actually received will be regularly compared to budgeted
revenues and variances will be investigated. This process will be summarized in the appropriate
budget report.
VII. EXPENDITURE CONTROL
A. APPROPRIATIONS - The level of budgetary control is the department level budget in the
General Fund, and the fund level in all other funds. When budget adjustments (i.e., amendments),
among departments and/or funds are necessary these must be approved by the City Council.
Budget appropriation amendments at lower levels of control shall be made in accordance with
the applicable administrative procedures.
B. CONTINGENCY ACCOUNT EXPENDITURES - The General Fund Contingency Account will be
budgeted and approved by the City Council as a part of the budget process. The City Manager
must approve all contingency account expenditures.
C. VACANCY FUNDS – Savings from position vacancies will be reviewed as a part of the midyear
budget amendments and savings will be either allocated to other accounts by Council approval or
become unbudgeted funds to add to the ending fund balance.
D. CENTRAL CONTROL - Significant vacancy (salary) and capital budgetary savings in any
department will be centrally controlled by the City Manager.
37

Revised: January 24, 2023
Submitted for Review: September 23, 2025
E. PURCHASING - All purchases shall be made in accordance with the city's purchasing policies as
defined in the Purchasing Manual. Authorization levels for appropriations previously approved by
the City Council in the Operating Budget are as follows: Division Staff up to $1,000, for Directors
up to $3,000, for Purchasing up to $10,000.00, for Finance Director up to $15,000.00. The City
Manager can authorize expenditures over $15,000.00 with any purchases exceeding $50,000.00
to be approved by the City Council.
F. PROFESSIONAL SERVICES - Professional services contracts will be coordinated through the
purchasing agent in compliance with statutory regulations.
G. CONTRACT AUTHORITY – By statute, contracts greater than or equal to $50,000.00 must be
approved by Council, after which either the Mayor or the City Manager may then sign any
necessary documents. By ordinance, contracts less than $50,000.00 may be authorized and signed
by the City Manager, provided there is an appropriation for such contract. Signature authority for
contracts equal to or less than $10,000 has been delegated by the City Manager to the Purchasing
Manager.
H. PROMPT PAYMENT - All invoices will be paid within 30 days of receipt in accordance with the
prompt payment requirements of State law. Procedures will be used to take advantage of all
purchase discounts where considered cost effective. However, payments will also be reasonably
delayed in order to maximize the city's investable cash, where such delay does not violate the
agreed upon terms.
I. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY - Certain information technology acquisitions will be centrally
funded from the Information Technology Division. Acquisitions from this division may include all
related professional services costs for researching and/or implementing an information
technology project. Annual funding for replacements and for new technology will be budgeted in
the IS department with the exception of the Utility Fund. Additional funding above the base
amount may be provided for major projects with available one-time sources including debt
proceeds and/or grants.
J. PREPAID EXPENDITURES – Final determination of expenditure coding in the General Ledger will
be assigned to the Finance Department. Expenditure coding must remain consistent. Purchased
items must fit the description of the line item they are being charged to. Amounts of $10,000 or
more paid in advance or across budget years will be coded as prepaid items and charged to the
next budget year. Department Directors are responsible for budgeting and paying these items
accordingly.
VIII. ASSET MANAGEMENT
A. INVESTMENTS - The city's investment practices will be conducted in accordance with the City
Council approved Investment Policies.
B. CASH MANAGEMENT - The city's cash flow will be managed to maximize the cash available to
invest.

Submitted for Review: September 23, 2025
C. INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE - A monthly report on investment performance will be provided
by the Finance Director to the City Manager for presentation to the City Council.
D. FIXED ASSETS AND INVENTORY - These assets will be reasonably safeguarded, properly
accounted for, and prudently insured.
IX. FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESERVES
A. NO OPERATING DEFICITS - Current expenditures will be paid with current revenues. Deferrals,
short-term loans, or one-time sources will be avoided as budget balancing techniques. Reserves
will be used only for emergencies on non-recurring expenditures, except when balances can be
reduced because their levels exceed guideline minimums.
B. INTERFUND LOANS - Non-routine interfund loans shall be made only in emergencies where
other temporary sources of working capital are not available and with the approval of the City
Council. At the time an interfund loan is considered, a plan to repay it prior to fiscal year end shall
also be considered. A fund will only lend money that it will not need to spend for the next 365
days. A loan may be made from a fund only if the fund has ending resources in excess of the
minimum requirement for the fund. Loans will not be made from the city's enterprise funds
(Water/Wastewater, etc.), except for projects related to the purpose of the fund. Total interfund
loans outstanding from a fund shall not exceed 15% of the target fund balance for the fund. If any
interfund loan is to be repaid from the proceeds of a future debt issue, a proper reimbursement
resolution will be approved at the time the loan is authorized.
C. FUND BALANCE POLICY
1. Committed Fund Balance – The City Council is the City’s highest level of decision-
making authority and the formal action that is required to be taken to establish, modify,
or rescind a fund balance commitment is a resolution approved by the Council at the City’s
Council meeting. The resolution must either be approved or rescinded, as applicable,
prior to the last day of the fiscal year for which the commitment is made. The amount
subject to the constraint may be determined in the subsequent period.
2. Assigned Fund Balance – The City Council has authorized the City Manager as the
official authorized to assign fund balance to a specific purpose as approved by this fund
balance policy.
3. Order of Expenditure of Funds – When multiple categories of fund balance are
available for expenditure, the City will start with the most restricted category and spend
those funds first before moving down to the next category with available funds.
4. Minimum General Fund Unassigned Fund Balance – It is the goal of the City to achieve
and maintain an unassigned fund balance in the general fund equal to 25% of
expenditures. The City considers a balance of less than 20% to be cause for concern,
barring unusual or deliberate circumstances. If unassigned fund balance falls below the
39
09/23/2025 Item F.
Revised: January 24, 2023
Submitted for Review: September 23, 2025
goal or has a deficiency, the City will appropriate funds in future budgets to replenish the
fund balance based on a time table deemed adequate by the City Council.
5. Minimum Utility Fund Balance – The Utility Fund shall maintain a Fund Balance to
protect ratepayers from excessive utility rate volatility. It will be funded with surplus
revenues of the Utility Fund. The City’s goal will be to maintain the Utility Fund ending
Fund Balance at 90 days of budgeted expenditures.
6. Minimum Parks and Recreation 4B Fund Balance – The Parks and Recreation 4B Fund
Balance shall be established to protect property tax payers from excessive volatility
caused by the fluctuations in the Parks and Recreation 4B sales tax revenue. It will be
funded with revenues of the Parks and Recreation 4B Fund. The City’s goal will be to
maintain the Parks and Recreation 4B Fund ending Fund Balance at 25% of budgeted 4B
sales tax revenues.
D. RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM - The city will aggressively pursue every opportunity to provide
for the public's and city employees' safety and to manage its risks.
E. ENTERPRISE FUND SELF-SUFFICIENCY - The city's enterprise funds' resources will be sufficient
to fund operating and capital expenditures. The enterprise funds will pay (where applicable) their
fair share of general and administrative expenses, in-lieu-of-property taxes and/or franchise fees.
If an enterprise fund is temporarily unable to pay all expenses, then the City
Council may waive general and administrative expenses, in-lieu-of-property taxes and/or
franchise fees until the fund is able to pay them. The City Council may pay out-of-pocket expenses
that a fund is temporarily unable to pay with interfund loans, to be repaid at a future date.
X. DEBT MANAGEMENT
Debt Management is addressed in a separate Debt Management Policy.
XI. STAFFING AND TRAINING
A. ADEQUATE STAFFING - Staffing levels will be adequate for the fiscal functions of the city to
function effectively. Overtime shall be used only to address temporary or seasonal demands that
require excessive hours. Workload scheduling alternatives will be explored before adding staff.
B. TRAINING - The city will support the continuing education efforts of all financial staff including
the investment in time and materials for maintaining a current perspective concerning financial
issues. Staff will be held accountable for communicating, teaching, and sharing with other staff
members all information and training materials acquired from seminars, conferences, and related
education efforts.

A. GRANT SOLICITATION - The City Manager will be informed about available grants by the
departments and will have final approval over which grants are applied for. The grants should be
cost beneficial and meet the city's objectives.
B. RESPONSIBILITY - Departments will oversee the day to day operations of grant programs, will
monitor performance and compliance, and will also keep the Finance Department and Purchasing
informed of significant grant-related plans and activities. Departments will also report re-
estimated annual revenues and expenses to the Finance Department as needed. Finance
Department staff members will serve as liaisons with grantor financial management personnel,
will prepare invoices, and will keep the books of account for all grants. All goods and services
obtained through grants are subject to City purchasing policies and must be coordinated with the
purchasing agent.
XIII. ANNUAL REVIEW AND REPORTING
A. These Policies will be reviewed administratively by the City Manager at least annually, and will
be presented to the City Council by the Finance Department for confirmation of any significant
changes.

CITY OF WYLIE, TEXAS
INVESTMENT POLICY
I. INTRODUCTION
Chapter 2256 of Title 10 of the Local Government
Code (hereinafter referred to as the "Public Funds
Investment Act") prescribes that each city is to adopt
written rules governing its investment practices and to
define the authority of the investment officer. The
following Investment Policy addresses the methods,
procedures, and practices which must be exercised to
ensure effective and judicious fiscal management of
the City's funds. This Policy shall not apply to the
selection, retention or other issues concerning the
depositories of the City's funds in demand deposits as
provided under Chapter 105 of the Local Government
Code.
II. SCOPE
This Policy shall apply to the investment and
management of all funds of the City under its control,
other than those expressly excluded herein or by
applicable law or valid agreement. This Policy shall
not supersede the restrictions on investment and use
applicable to any specific fund and, in the event of any
conflict between this Policy and the requirements of
any fund subject hereto, the specific requirement
applicable to such fund shall be followed as well as all
other provisions of this Policy other than those in
conflict. The Employees Deferred Compensation
Agency Fund is excluded from coverage under this
Policy.
In order to make effective use of the City's resources,
all monies shall be pooled into one bank account,
except for those monies required to be accounted for
in other bank accounts as stipulated by applicable
laws, bond covenants or contracts. The bank account
will be maintained by pooled fund group for purposes
of implementing pooled fund strategies and reporting.
The income derived from this pooled investment
account shall be distributed by fund in accordance
with the City's internal procedures.
III. OBJECTIVES
The City's principal investment objectives, in order of
priority, are listed below.
Safety. The primary objective of the City's investment
activity is the preservation of principal (capital) in the
overall portfolio. Each investment transaction shall
seek first to ensure that capital losses are avoided,
whether the loss occurs from the default of a security
or from erosion of market value.
Liquidity. The City's investment portfolio will remain
sufficiently liquid to enable the City to meet operating
requirements that might be reasonably anticipated.
Liquidity shall be achieved by matching investment
maturities with forecasted cash flow requirements, by
investing in securities with active secondary markets,
and by using state or local investment pools.
Diversification. The governing body recognizes that
in a diversified portfolio, occasional measured losses
due to market volatility are inevitable, and must be
considered within the context of the overall portfolio's
return, provided that adequate diversification has been
implemented. Therefore, assets held in the common
investment portfolio shall be diversified to eliminate
the risk of loss resulting from one concentration of
assets in a specific maturity, a specific issuer or a
specific class of securities.
Yield. The investment portfolio goal (benchmark)
against which the yield is compared will be established
from time to time by the Finance Director.
Recommendations by the Investment Committee will
be considered when the performance measure is being
established. Efforts to seek higher than the above goal
must be consistent with risk limitations identified in
this policy and prudent investment principles. The
City’s investment portfolio shall be designed with the
objective of attaining a rate of return which is
consistent with the risk limitations and cash flow
characteristics of the City’s investments.
IV. INVESTMENT COMMITTEE
An investment committee consisting of the City
Manager, the Director of Finance and the Assistant
46
09/23/2025 Item G.
CITY OF WYLIE, TEXAS
INVESTMENT POLICY
Director of Finance will meet annually before the
beginning of a new fiscal year. The Investment
Committee shall be authorized to invite advisors to the
meetings as needed.
The investment officer will present a brief report of
investment activities to the Investment Committee.
The primary objectives of the committee will be to
(1) make recommendations regarding investment
strategies
(2) approve a list of authorized brokers, dealers,
banks, savings and loans, credit unions, and
pools
(3) recommend a list of authorized training
sources for the state mandated investment
training and
(4) monitor program results.
The committee shall include in its deliberations such
topics as performance reports, economic outlook,
portfolio diversification, maturity structure, potential
risk to the city’s funds, and the target rate of return on
the investment portfolio.
V. DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
Management responsibility for the investment
program is delegated by the City Council to the City
Manager who will designate the Finance Director as
Investment Officer (hereinafter referred to as the
"Director"). The Director's authority will at all times
be limited by conformance with all Federal
regulations, State of Texas statutes and other legal
requirements including the City Charter and City
Ordinances, including this Policy.
The Director shall develop and maintain written
administrative procedures for the operation of the
investment program consistent with this Policy. The
controls shall be designed to prevent, identify and
control losses of public funds arising from deviation
from this Policy, fraud, employee error, and
misrepresentation by third parties, or imprudent
actions by employees and officers of the City.
With written approval from the City Manager, the
Director may delegate any phase of the investment
management program to members of the City staff.
Such approval shall state specifically the functions
such person is authorized to perform or that the person
is authorized to perform all activities of the Director
under this Policy. The Director shall obtain and
maintain, at the City's expense, fidelity bonds for
himself and each of his designees in amounts
determined adequate by the Director (which shall not
be less than five percent of the amounts subject to this
Policy) for each fiscal year as shown by the approved
budget. No person may engage in an investment
transaction except as provided under the terms of this
Policy and the internal procedures established by the
Director. A current list of persons authorized to
transact investment business and wire funds on behalf
of the City shall be maintained by the Director.
At the discretion of either the City Manager or the
Director and in any event upon the termination or
reassignment of any member of the Director's staff
authorized to conduct transactions for the City
pursuant to this Policy, the authority of such person
shall be revoked and such revocation of authority shall
be immediately communicated by the Director orally
and in writing to each and every depository,
broker/dealer, investment advisor, custodian and other
agency or entity with whom the City has any existing
or continuing relationship in the management of its
investments.
VI. INVESTMENT STRATEGY
The City of Wylie maintains a pooled investment
portfolio. The pooled portfolio utilizes specific
investment strategies designed to address the unique
characteristics of the pooled investment portfolio. The
pooled investment portfolio includes Operating Funds,
Debt Service Funds, Debt Service Reserve Funds,
Capital Projects and Special Purpose Funds.
Investment strategies for these different groups are
detailed below.
(1) Investment strategies for operating, debt
service, capital project, and special purpose funds have
47
09/23/2025 Item G.
CITY OF WYLIE, TEXAS
INVESTMENT POLICY
as their primary objective to assure that anticipated
cash outflows are matched with adequate investment
liquidity. The secondary objective is to create a
portfolio structure which will experience minimal
volatility during economic cycles.
(2) The investment strategy for the debt service
reserve funds shall have as the primary objective the
ability to generate a dependable revenue stream from
securities with a low degree of volatility. Securities
should be of high quality, with short to intermediate
term maturities. Except as may be required by a bond
ordinance, securities should be of high quality with
short to intermediate-term maturities.
VII. STANDARD OF CARE
Investments shall be made with judgment and care,
under prevailing circumstances, that a person of
prudence, discretion, and intelligence would exercise
in the management of the person’s own affairs, not for
speculation, but for investment, considering the
probable safety of capital and the probable income to
be derived. Investment of funds shall be governed by
the following investment objectives, in order of
priority:
(1) preservation and safety of principal;
(2) liquidity; and
(3) diversification; and
(4) yield.
In determining whether an investment officer has
exercised prudence with respect to an investment
decision, the determination shall be made taking into
consideration:
(1) the investment of all funds, or funds under the
City’s control, over which the officer had
responsibility rather than a consideration as to
the prudence of a single investment; and
(2) whether the investment decision was
consistent with the written investment policy
of the City.
The Director and his staff shall recognize that the
investment activities of the City are a matter of public
record. Therefore, all participants in the investment
process shall seek to act responsibly as custodians of
the public trust. Investment officials shall avoid any
transactions that might impair public confidence in the
City's ability to govern effectively.
VIII. INVESTMENTS AUTHORIZED BY THE
CITY OF WYLIE
Authorized investments for municipal governments in
the State of Texas are set forth in the Public Funds
Investment Act, as amended (Section 2256.009-
2256.019, Government Code). However, suitable
investments for the City of Wylie are limited to the
following.
(1) Direct obligations of the United States or its
agents and instrumentalities with a stated
maturity of 5 years or less.
(2) Certificates of deposit issued in the State of
Texas with a maximum maturity of 2 years or
less and insured by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation.
(3) Fully collateralized direct repurchase
agreements with a defined termination date of
2 years or less which are secured by
obligations of the United States or its agencies
and instrumentalities and pledged with a third
party in the City’s name. The agreement must
be placed through a primary government
securities dealer, as defined by the Federal
Reserve, or by a financial institution doing
business in the State of Texas. Each issuer of
repurchase agreements shall be required to
sign a master repurchase agreement.
.
(4) Approved investment pools as described in
Section 2256.016 which are continuously
48
09/23/2025 Item G.
CITY OF WYLIE, TEXAS
INVESTMENT POLICY
rated no lower than AAA, AAAm or an
equivalent rating by at least one nationally
recognized rating agency and have a weighted
average maturity no greater than 90 days.
IX. OTHER INVESTMENT GUIDELINES
The City seeks active management of its portfolio
assets. In order to meet the objectives of this Policy,
the City may from time to time sell securities that it
owns in order to better position its portfolio assets.
Sales of securities prior to maturity shall be
documented and approved by the Director before such
a transaction is consummated. Sales of securities
yielding net proceeds less than 92% of the book value
of the securities must be approved in advance and in
writing by the City Manager. Three examples of
situations involving the sale of securities prior to
maturity are
(1) swap - to sell an investment to realize a
capital gain,
(2) To better position selected investments
due to a change in market conditions,
(3) To react to emergency liquidity demands.
Each investment transaction must be based upon
competitive quotations received from at least three
broker/dealers who have been approved by the City in
accordance with Texas law.
The purchase and sale of all securities shall be on a
delivery versus payment or payment versus delivery
basis (i.e., for securities purchases, monies will not be
released by the City's safekeeping bank until securities
are received at the Federal Reserve Bank for further
credit to the City's safekeeping bank. In the case of
securities sales, monies will be received by the City's
safekeeping bank via the Federal Reserve Bank as the
securities are simultaneously released to the
purchaser). In this manner the City will always have
possession of either its securities or its monies.
X. DIVERSIFICATION AND MATURITY
LIMITS
It is the policy of the City to avoid concentration of
assets in a specific maturity, a specific issue, or a
specific class of securities, with the exception of U.S.
Treasury issues. The asset allocation in the portfolio
should, however, be flexible depending upon the
outlook for the economy and the securities markets.
The City will not exceed the following maximum
limits as a percentage of the total portfolio for each of
the categories listed below:
Investment Category
Max. %
of
Portfolio
Max.
Maturity
Obligations of the United
States or its agencies and
instrumentalities.
100%

Repurchase Agreements
NOT Reverse Repurchase
Agreements
100%
2 years
The Director shall evaluate how each security
purchased fits into the City's overall investment
strategy.
At all times the City shall maintain 10 percent of its
total investment portfolio in instruments maturing in
90 days or less. The weighted average maturity of all
securities and certificates of deposit in the City's total
investment portfolio at any given time (not including
cash or demand deposits) shall not exceed 2 years.
XI. SELECTION OF BROKERS/DEALERS
The City shall maintain a list of broker/dealers and
financial institutions which have been approved for
investment purposes by the investment committee.
(For the purpose of this investment policy,
Broker/dealer will be used to refer to any brokerage
49
09/23/2025 Item G.
CITY OF WYLIE, TEXAS
INVESTMENT POLICY
firm, bank, investment pool, or financial institution
with which the City does investment business).
Securities may only be purchased from those
authorized institutions and firms. The authorized
broker/dealers will be reviewed at least annually. To
be eligible, a broker/dealer must meet at least one of
the following criteria: 1) be recognized as a Primary
Dealer as defined by the New York Federal Reserve
Market Reports Division; or 2) complies with
Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15C3-1,
the Uniform Net Capital Requirement Rule. If the
City’s depository bank also provides custodial and
safekeeping services for the City, the bank may not be
included as an authorized broker/dealer for the City.
However, non-negotiable Certificate of Deposits are
exempt from this policy.
Broker/dealers will be selected and recommended to
the investment committee by the Director on the basis
of their financial stability, expertise in cash
management and their ability to service the City's
account. Each broker/dealer that has been authorized
by the City shall be required to submit and annually
update a Broker/Dealer Information Request form
which includes the firm's most recent financial
statements. The Director shall maintain a file which
includes the most recent Broker/Dealer Information
Request forms submitted by each firm approved for
investment purposes. A copy of the submitted
Broker/Dealer Information Request forms as well as a
list of those broker/dealers approved by the City shall
be maintained by the Director (See Appendix A).
The City of Wylie will provide all approved securities
dealers with a copy of the City’s Investment Policy. A
principal in the firm must execute a written statement
acknowledging receipt and review of the policy and a
statement acknowledging that reasonable procedures
and controls have been implemented to preclude
imprudent investment activities being conducted
between the entity and the securities firm (See
Appendix B).
All approved broker/dealer firms must have a
completed City of Wylie broker/dealer questionnaire,
investment policy, written acknowledgment per above
guidelines, executed master repurchase agreement, if
applicable, and current financial information on file.
Certification language should be mutually acceptable
to both parties. An investment officer of the City may
not buy any securities from a person who has not
delivered to the City an instrument substantially in the
form provided by this policy.
The Director shall review the quality of service and
financial stability of each broker/dealer and financial
institution approved under this Section at least
annually. Any approved broker/dealer or financial
institution may be removed from the list of approved
broker/dealers with the approval of the Director, if in
the opinion of the Director, the firm has not performed
adequately or its financial position is considered
inadequate.
XII. SAFEKEEPING AND CUSTODY
Investment securities purchased for the City will be
delivered by either book entry or physical delivery and
shall be held in third-party safekeeping by a Federal
Reserve Member financial institution designated as
the City's safekeeping and custodian bank. The City
may designate more than one custodian bank. The
City shall execute a Safekeeping Agreement with each
bank prior to utilizing the custodian's safekeeping
services. Only a state or national bank located within
the State of Texas may be utilized as a custodian of
securities pledged to secure certificates of deposit.
The safekeeping agreement must provide that the
safekeeping bank will immediately record and
promptly issue and deliver a signed safekeeping
receipt showing the receipt and the identification of
the security, as well as the City's interest.
The Director shall maintain a list of designated
custodian banks and a copy of the Safekeeping
Agreement executed with each custodian bank.
The City must approve release of securities in writing
prior to their removal from the custodial account. A
telephone facsimile of a written authorization shall be
sufficient if the custodian orally confirms receipt of
50
09/23/2025 Item G.
CITY OF WYLIE, TEXAS
INVESTMENT POLICY
the transmission and an exact copy of the document is
retained in the City's files. In no event shall the
custodial bank be an authorized depository bank,
issuer of repurchase agreements in which the City
invests or broker/dealer of securities on behalf of the
City.
All securities shall be confirmed in the name of the
City and delivered to an approved custodial bank or
carried at a Federal Reserve Bank in the name of the
City. The Custodian shall not otherwise deposit
purchased or pledged securities. All book entry
securities owned by the City shall be evidenced by a
safekeeping receipt issued to the City and signed by
the appropriate officer at the custodian bank stating
that the securities are held in the Federal Reserve
System in a CUSTOMER ACCOUNT naming the
City as the "customer." In addition, the custodian bank
will, when requested, furnish a copy of the delivery
advice received by the custodian bank from the
Federal Reserve Bank.
All certificated securities (those transferred by
physical delivery) shall: 1) be held by an approved
custodian bank or any correspondent bank in New
York City approved by the Director; and 2) the
correspondent bank or the City's safekeeping bank
shall issue a safekeeping receipt to the City evidencing
that the securities are held by the correspondent bank
for the City.
The original safekeeping receipt for each transaction
including purchased securities under a repurchase
agreement and collateral securing deposits will be
forwarded to the Director or his designee and held in a
secured file by the City.
XIII. RECORD KEEPING AND REPORTING
A record shall be maintained of all bids and offerings
for securities transactions in order to ensure that the
City receives competitive pricing. All transactions
shall be documented by the person authorizing the
transaction in a form that shows that person's name,
the party instructed to execute the transaction, the date,
a description of the transaction and a brief statement
of the reason(s) for the transaction.
At least annually, the Director shall verify that all
securities purchased by or pledged to the City are on
hand in appropriate form. The City, in conjunction
with its annual financial audit, shall perform a
compliance audit of management controls on
investments and adherence to the City’s established
investment policies.
Each depository of the City's funds shall maintain
separate, accurate and complete records relating to all
deposits of the City's funds, the securities pledged to
secure such deposits and all transactions relating to the
pledged securities. Each approved custodian shall
maintain separate, accurate and complete records
relating to all securities received on behalf of the City,
whether pledged, purchased or subject to repurchase
agreement, as well as all transactions related to such
securities. In addition, each depository shall file all
reports required by the Texas State Depository Board.
Each depository and custodian shall agree to make all
the records described in this paragraph available to the
Director or designee and the City's auditors at any
reasonable time.
All broker/dealers, custodians, depositories and
investment advisors shall maintain complete records
of all transactions that they conducted on behalf of the
City and shall make those records available for
inspection by the Director or other representatives
designated by the City Council or City Manager.

09/23/2025 Item H.
Page 2
IOL Aboveground Easement (version 12.15.21)
Easement Area and to effectuate the purposes permitted herein. All pipes and/or pipelines (other
than the Facilities Piping) shall be initially installed at a minimum depth of thirty-two inches (32”).
It is further agreed as follows:
1.Grantee shall have the right to select the location of said Facilities within the Easement
Area, and to do whatever may be requisite for the use and enjoyment of the rights herein
granted, including the right of ingress and egress over Grantor’s adjacent or additional
lands to or from said Easement Area in the event Grantee cannot, within its sole discretion,
reasonably access the Easement Area by staying within the boundaries of the same. Further
if Grantee determines it is necessary to use Grantor’s adjacent or additional lands for
access, then Grantee shall exercise such ingress and egress rights as follows:
a.Grantee shall first use those existing interior roadways as designated by Grantor
which provide reasonable access from a public right-of-way to the Easement Area;
b.If no such interior roadways exist, Grantee shall use such route as is most
reasonably direct to get from a public right-of-way to the Easement Area, taking
into account Grantor’s existing uses of the adjacent or additional lands and avoiding
damages to such existing uses to the extent reasonably possible;
c.In the event there is an impediment to access within the Easement Area which
requires Grantee to get onto Grantor’s adjacent or additional lands in order to get
around such impediment to access, then Grantee shall only use such portion of
Grantor’s adjacent or additional lands as is reasonably necessary to get around such
impediment and back onto the Easement Area as soon as is reasonably practical.
A width of twenty feet (20’) shall be considered reasonable for any routes of ingress and
egress unless a greater width is necessary to accommodate turning radiuses of Grantee’s
construction equipment and vehicles.
2.Grantor shall have no access right on, under, or over the Easement Area.
3.The aforesaid consideration includes any and all damages that may be sustained by the
construction and installation of each pipeline and appurtenance permitted under this
Aboveground Facilities Easement, as well as damages arising from the repair,
maintenance, inspection, replacement, operation, or removal of each pipeline and
appurtenance to be installed under the instrument, including without limitation, cutting
trees and damages to land, trees, buildings, growing crops and grasses. Grantee shall, at
its option, repair or replace any damage caused to gates and fences by Grantee’s removal,
cutting, or use thereof. Grantee agrees that after it completes the original installation of
each pipeline and appurtenance permitted under this Aboveground Facilities Easement, it
will restore the original contour of the surface of the Temporary Workspace and any
remaining property used for construction that is not part of the Easement Area, as nearly
as practicable, to its pre-construction condition within a reasonable period of time reflective
of and dependent upon the construction and property’s characteristics, including but not
limited to seasonal growing periods and weather patterns. Grantee will also maintain the
55
09/23/2025 Item H.
Page 3
IOL Aboveground Easement (version 12.15.21)
Easement Area in a manner consistent with the purposes stated herein. Grantee shall have
the right to remove, cut, and use any gates or fences crossing the Easement Area, including
the right to install gates in such fences within the Easement Area. Grantor shall have the
right to install and maintain fences provided that such use does not interfere with Grantee’s
permitted use of the Easement Area, the Temporary Workspace, or Grantee’s access for
the purposes described herein and Grantee shall at all times have access through any such
fence by means of a gate.
4.Grantor shall not construct, and Grantee shall have the right to prevent and/or remove, any
improvements, structures, buildings, reservoirs, or obstructions within the Easement Area
(and the Temporary Workspace while in effect). Further, Grantee has the right to trim, cut
down, or eliminate trees or shrubbery, and to prevent or remove possible present or future
hazards and/or activities, any of which, in the sole judgment of the Grantee may presently
or in the future endanger or interfere with the efficient, safe, and/or convenient exercise of
Grantee’s rights hereunder within the Easement Area (and the Temporary Workspace while
in effect). Further, in addition to the rights stated herein, Grantor specifically acknowledges
and agrees that pursuant to this paragraph Grantee has the right to remove any type of tree,
including pecan, olive, or other crop-bearing tree, from, and to prevent any future
encumbrance over, said Easement Area (and the Temporary Workspace while in effect) by
any tree or any other crop interfering with the construction, maintenance, and/or operation
of the pipelines permitted under this Aboveground Facilities Easement without any
compensation whatsoever to Grantor or its successors and assigns, which rights are
included in the aforesaid consideration. .
5.Grantee does not intend to employ a “double ditch” method.
6.If a complete assignment of this Aboveground Facilities Easement occurs outside of an
assignment to an affiliate or to a successor thorough merger, consolidation, or other sale or
transfer of all or substantially all of its assets and businesses, Grantee shall provide written
notice to the property owner at the last known address of the person in whose name the
property is listed on the most recent tax roll of any taxing unit authorized to levy property
taxes against the property. Provided however that such notice shall not have any effect on
the validity or legal effect on the assignment.
7.Grantee shall only grant third-party access to the Easement Area for: (a) a purpose that is
related to the construction, safety, repair, maintenance, inspection, replacement, operation,
or removal of each pipeline or appurtenances installed under this Aboveground Facilities
Easement, or (b) another natural gas corporation or natural gas utility as defined by Texas
law.
8.If Grantee should abandon the rights granted herein and if such abandonment should
continue for a continuous period of ten years, all rights of Grantee herein shall ipso facto
terminate and revert to Grantor, his heirs, legal representatives, and assigns.
9.Grantor and Grantee agree that the failure to assert any right under this Aboveground
Facilities Easement shall not constitute a waiver of any other right hereunder. Further, it
is hereby agreed that any delay by Grantee in asserting any right granted it in this
56
09/23/2025 Item H.
Page 4
IOL Aboveground Easement (version 12.15.21)
Aboveground Facilities Easement, regardless of the length of any such delay, shall not
prevent Grantee from later asserting or otherwise enforcing that same right, including but
not limited to the right to prevent or remove any encroachments within the Easement Area
as provided in paragraph 4 above.
10.This Aboveground Facilities Easement shall not be construed as a written agreement
between Grantor and Grantee for purposes of Section 756.123 of the Texas Health and
Safety Code (or any successor statute). Further, as used within this easement agreement,
the word “structure” is intended to be interpreted broadly so as to include all manner of
man-made items of any type, including but not limited to paving, parking lots, and
terracing.
11.Except for the rights conveyed by this instrument, Grantee may not exercise any right over
Grantor’s property without express written consent from Grantor. However, the preceding
sentence is not intended to and does not alter, modify, restrict, amend, or otherwise
diminish any right Grantee has to use Grantor’s property independent of this agreement,
whether through a separate agreement, by law, or otherwise.
12.Both Grantor and Grantee hereby represent and warrant that they have read and have fully
understood the terms of this Aboveground Facilities Easement, that they have had the
opportunity to have same reviewed by an attorney, and that in entering into this
Aboveground Facilities Easement they are relying solely upon their independent review
and the advice of their respective counsel. Further, Grantor and Grantee acknowledge that
this Aboveground Facilities Easement has been negotiated by the parties, and this
Aboveground Facilities Easement shall be construed as one prepared by the joint efforts of
Grantor and Grantee and shall not be construed against either party as the drafter.
13.GENERAL TERMS: Grantee shall maintain at all times while using the easement,
including during construction and operations on the easement, commercial facility
insurance or self-insurance: (1) issued by an insurer authorized to issue liability insurance
in this state, if maintaining commercial liability insurance, and (2) insuring the Grantor
against liability for personal injuries and property damage sustained by any person to the
extent caused by the negligence of Grantee or Grantee's agents or contractors and to the
extent allowed by law. Provided that Grantee shall not be liable for the negligence or gross
negligence or actions of Grantor or third parties not under the control of Grantee.
TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the above-described easements and rights unto the said
Grantee, and Grantee’s successors and assigns, until abandoned as provided for herein.
This instrument and covenants and agreements herein contained shall constitute covenants
running with the land, binding upon Grantor, his heirs, legal representatives, successors and
assigns, for the benefit of Grantee, and Grantee’s successors and assigns.
Grantor hereby binds himself, his heirs, legal representatives and assigns to warrant and
forever defend all and singular the above-described easements and rights, unto the said Grantee,
and Grantee’s successors and assigns, against every person whomsoever lawfully claiming or to
claim the same, or any part thereof.

AGENDA REPORT
Department: City Manager Account Code:
Prepared By: Mary Bradley
Subject
Consider, and act upon, Resolution No. 2025-20(R) of the City of Wylie, Texas finding that Oncor Electric Delivery Company
LLC’s (“Oncor” or “Company”) application to amend its Distribution Cost Recovery Factor and update Generation Riders to
increase distribution rates within the City should be denied; authorizing participation with the Steering Committee of Cities
served by Oncor; finding that the Company’s application is unreasonable and should be denied; the current rates shall not be
changed; finding that the City’s reasonable rate case expenses shall be reimbursed by the company; finding that the meeting
at which this Resolution is passed is open to the public as required by law; requiring notice of this Resolution to the company
and legal counsel.
Recommendation
Motion to approve the Item as presented.
Discussion
On June 26, 2025, Oncor Electric Delivery Company, LLC (“Oncor” or “Company”) filed an application with cities retaining
original jurisdiction seeking to increase system-wide transmission and distribution rates by about $834 million or
approximately over present revenues. The Company asks the City to approve a 12.3 percent increase in residential rates and
a 51.0 percent increase in street lighting rates. If approved, the impact of this requested increase on an average residen tial
customer would be about $7.90 per month.
On July 8, 2025, the City Council approved Resolution No. 2025-13(R) to suspend Oncor’s rate request for 90 days, the fullest
extent permissible under the law. This time period has permitted the City, through its participation with the Steering Committee
of Cities Served by Oncor (“Steering Committee”), to determine that the proposed rate increase is unreasonable. Consistent
with the recommendations of the experts engaged by the Steering Committee, Oncor’s req uest for a rate increase should be
denied.
Accordingly, the purpose of the Resolution is to deny the rate change application proposed by Oncor. Once the Resolution is
adopted, Oncor will have 30 days to appeal the decision to the Public Utility Commission of Texas (“PUC”) where the appeal
will be consolidated with Oncor’s filing (PUC Docket No. 58306) currently pending at the PUC.
Explanation of “Be It Resolved” Paragraphs:
1. This paragraph finds that the Company’s application is unreasonable and should be denied.
2. This section states that the Company’s current rates shall not be changed.
3. The Company will reimburse Cities for their reasonable rate case expenses. Legal counsel and consultants approved by
the Steering Committee will submit monthly invoices that will be forwarded to Oncor for reimbursement.
4. This section merely recites that the resolution was passed at a meeting that was open to the public and that the consideration
of the Resolution was properly noticed.
5. This section provides Oncor and counsel for the Steering Committee will be notified of the City’s action through a copy
of the approved and signed resolution.

AGENDA REPORT
Department: Public Works / Engineering Account Code:
Prepared By: Tommy Weir
Subject
Hold a Public Hearing, consider, and act upon, Ordinance No. 2025-36 amending Wylie’s Code of Ordinances, Ordinance No.
2021-17 as amended, Appendix A (Comprehensive Fee Schedule), by adding Section XV (Drainage Utility Fees); establishing
a Municipal Drainage Utility System Fee; providing for exemptions and credits; providing a repealing clause, severability
clause, savings clause; providing for a criminal penalty of a fine not to exceed the sum of five hundred dollars ($500.00);
providing for an effective date; and providing for the publication of the caption hereof.
Recommendation
Motion to approve the Item as presented.
Discussion
Staff has worked with the consultant, Freese and Nichols Inc., to develop a set of criteria for assessing fees in a reasonabl e,
equitable, and non-discriminatory manner (based on impervious areas such as a building or parking lot) to generate enough
revenue to support the existing stormwater/drainage service. Both residential and commercial properties would be given a
monthly fee on the City’s water bill. The City is one of a handful of cities within the metroplex that has no stormwater fee
ordinance in place, as this could support capital improvement projects (CIPs), equipment, and stormwater maintenance, as the
current budget supports limited capabilities.
During the May 13, 2025 work session, guidance was given to staff to assess a $5/month flat fee for single-family residential
(regardless of size) and $5 per whole equivalent rate unit (3,500 square feet impervious area) for all others. For example, a
commercial property would have the total amount of impervious areas onsite in square feet divided by 3,500 and rounded to
the next whole number, as this would be multiplied by $5 for the monthly charge.
Exemptions for this fee include church, City, and county-owned properties.
Staff recommends approval of this proposed amendment to Appendix A (Comprehensive Fee Schedule), to add Section XV
(Drainage Utility Fees).

RE: Election of Collin Central Appraisal District Board of Directors
Ladies and Gentlemen,
The purpose of this letter is to provide an overview of the election process, and provide a
detailed timeline for each phase for taxing entity appointed Board of Director’s members.
The process for electing the District’s Board of Directors is outlined in the Texas Property
Tax Code (TPTC) § 6.03. The deadline dates for the election are statutory and controlled
by TPTC § 6.03.
On July 24, 2023, Governor Greg Abbott signed Senate Bill 2 into law which added TPTC
§ 6.0301. In accordance with the new section, the District’s Board of Directors makeup
changed significantly. The Legislature increased the total number of directors from five
(5) appointed and one non-voting tax assessor-collector director, to nine (9) total
directors.
The Board of Directors drew lots on January 23, 2025 to determine which Board of
Directors would have a three (3) year term, and who would have a one (1) year term.
Directors Richard Grady, Alvin Benton and Veronica Yost all drew a three (3) year term
that expires on December 31, 2027. Directors Brian Mantzey and Jerry Tartaglino drew
one (1) year terms that expire on December 31, 2025. This election will be to select
candidates for those two positions that will now begin a four (4) year term which will start
January 1, 2026 and expire on December 31, 2029.

To be eligible to be a candidate for, or elected to, the Rockwall Central Appraisal District board of directors, a person must:
1) be a United States citizen;
2) be 18 years of age or older on January 1, 2025 (first day of term);

7) satisfy any other eligibility requirements prescribed by law for the office.
8) An individual who is otherwise eligible to serve on the board is not ineligible because of membership on the
governing body of a taxing unit. (An employee of a taxing unit that participates in the district is not eligible to serve
on the board unless the individual is also a member of the governing body or an elected official of a taxing unit that
participates in the district.)
A person is ineligible to be a candidate for, or elected to, the Rockwall Central Appraisal District board of directors if the
person:
1) is an employee of a taxing unit that participates in Rockwall County;
2) is related within the second degree of consanguinity or affinity, as determined under Chapter 573, Government Code,
to an individual who is engaged in the business of appraising property for compensation for use in proceedings under
the Texas Property Tax Code or of representing property owners for compensation in proceedings under the Texas
Property Tax Code within Rockwall County;
3) owns property on which delinquent taxes have been owed to a taxing unit for more than 60 days after the date the
individual knew or should have known of the delinquency unless:
a. the delinquent taxes and any penalties and interest are being paid under an installment payment agreement
under section 33.02 of the Texas Property Tax Code; or
b. a suit to collect the delinquent taxes is deferred or abated under Section 33.06 or 33.065;

the CAD. This prohibition also applies to contracts with a taxing unit that participates in the CAD if the contract relates
to the performance of an activity governed by the Tax Code (Tax Code Section 6.036(a)). An individual has a
substantial business interest in a business entity if:
a. the combined ownership of the director and director’s spouse is at least 10 percent of the voting stock or
shares of the business entity; or
b. the director or director’s spouse is a partner, limited partner or officer of the business entity.
