APPROVAL OF ORDINANCE LEVYING ASSESSMENTS AGAINST PROPERTY
OWNERS, SETTING TIME PAYMENTS, RATE OF INTEREST AND FILING A
CHARGE AND LIEN AGAINST SAID PROPERTY : City Manager John
Pitstick stated he has talked with the city attorney and
under the assessment ordinance that Council passed some
months back, under the state law, the city cannot charge
more that the enhancement or which ever is less of
enhancement or assessment. Thirty days after completion
staff will mail out certificates stating amount owed and the
plans you can choose from. Then the staff will file the
liens at the County. Our attorney has told us we cannot
waive to senior citizens, it must be waived to to everyone.
We can offer five year payout plan. Councilman Messenger
wanted to know how much the monthly payments would be on a
five year payout . Finance Director James Johnson said three
year on $3 ,000 .00 with 8% interest would be $94 . 01 and
without interest would be $83 .33 , five year payout with
interest would be $60 . 43 and without interest would be
$50 .00 . Councilman Naish asked if anyone had gotten their
own appraisal . City Manager John Pitstick stated that no
one has come in with their own appraisal . Mayor Pro Akin
said he appreciated seeing the law, can the certificates be
sold to another firm and then the bank foreclose. Mayor
Trimble said we could but it would not be wise or in our
best interest . Mayor Pro Tem Akin wanted to know how many
of these homes have filed for homestead . City Manager John
Pitstick said there are five senior citizens that have an
over 65 exemption. Councilman Messenger said the five year
payout with interest cuts about 1/3 off the monthly payment .
Councilman Naish said to go interest free to everyone.
Mayor Trimble said if you go interest free then everyone
will wait and take the full payout time. Councilman
Messenger said the five year payout with interest is giving
a lower payment and yet they have option to pay off earlier.
Councilman Naish said offer up to five years payout with 8%
interest .
Pinkie Bardin owner of 605 S. Birmingham said she went
around to all property owners and that she has a petition
against the ordinance of assessing the property. I get
$400 .00 disability and I cannot afford this assessment . The
people on this street and abutting property want a bond
issue. City Attorney John Roehm said after five years the
City can call the lien and collect or take the property.
Councilman Naish said he was under the impression that the
lien would just sit until the property sold.
Mac Boles owner of 509 S. Birmingham stated with $94 .01 for
three year payout with interest, I would like to request the
Council to make it a six year payout and to waive the
interest and to not sell the note. It is common sense that
the people cannot pay this monthly payment . Six years is a
fair amount for payments.
Councilman DiTota stated that isn' t the five years through
the State. City Manager John Pitstick said the City
Attorney said five years is the most he has ever seen a City
go. Councilman DiTota wanted to know if the citizens could
go to a bank and borrow the money on a longer term. Mayor
Trimble said yes, but with a higher interest rate.
Councilman Messenger wanted to know what six years would be.
Mr . Boles said he was not happy with the way his property
was assessed . Mayor Trimble said these figures come from a
private appraisal firm. Mr. Boles said he would like to
stress six years . Councilman DiTota wanted to now what a
six year payout would be. Mr . Johnson said six years with
interest would be $52 .25 . Councilman Swartz said this money
is not for anything but going to another street at time of
reconstruction. Mr . Boles said this is putting a hardship
on everyone.
Mr . Steve Roberts stated that his lot backs up to
Birmingham. I did not receive a letter or did not know of
the assessment being levied to my property. This is a
public road and everyone uses it , why can' t this be a bond
so it will not be a hardship. Why are you not looking a the
petition and bond issue. I do not feel the people abutting
this road should have to pay. Mr . Roberts was asked where
he lives. Mr. Roberts said in the Meadows Addition. Mr .
Ron Homeyer , Assist. City Engineer , said that is why you did
not get a letter , the developer has paid for those lots .
Councilman DiTota said that the staff and Council looked
into going with a bond issue and were told by our bond
people that it would be very costly to the citizens through
taxes. First Southwest said not to do this on a bond issue.
City Manager John Pitstick said the $600 ,000 . we borrowed
will do two (2) streets the money coming in will allow more
streets the next year and the next.
Mrs. June Baugh of 604 S. Jackson wanted to know what
Council was going to do, hit us two times for $3 ,000 ,
because we have a corner lot . Mayor Trimble said this could
happen. Mrs. Baugh said I do not plan on working for five
(5) years to pay for a street. How did you get this $3 ,000 .
Mayor Trimble said an independent appraiser . Mrs. Baugh
said the school is what tore up the street .
Councilman Messenger said the amount would depend on the
type of street - - curb and gutter or asphalt. Mrs . Baugh
said it needs to be curb and gutter . Councilman Naish said
Pt
we want to build a street on Birmingham that would last as
long as the note. Mrs . Baugh wanted to know what value do
you use, last years or what . City Manager John Pitstick
said the current value . City Manager John Pitstick also
stated that it could happen that you would be assessed twice
if you lived on a corner , but in most cases, we would do one
of the streets and in 10/15 years do the other one.
Councilman DiTota said that most people do not realize that
if you live on a corner lot you can be assessed for both
streets. Mrs . Baugh said Council needs to go back to the
drawing board and not assess these figures. Councilman
Blakey said his family had to pay each time their street was
redone . City Manager John Pitstick said the only thing we
could charge you for is the amount of the enhancement. Mrs .
Baugh said we need something in writing to protect the
citizens. The City can not sell the notes.
Mayor Pro Tem Akin said can we put it on the notes .
Councilman Naish asked the attorney if the certificates
could say "non transferable" . City Manager John Pitstick
said you could.
Mr . Brooks , mortgage holder of 605 S. Birmingham, said in
doing this assessment where does FM 544 go through, and is
it Birmingham. Mayor Trimble said FM544 goes up to Highway
78 and turns left, goes to Ballard St . and turns right and
goes to Stone Rd. and turns left. Mr. Brooks said the map
says Kirby Street. Mr . Ron Homeyer said FM 544 is West on
Kirby, that is west of Highway 78 . Mr . Brooks said the
money property owners pay will go to pay for some other
street. Where did this money come from. City Manager John
Pitstick said the 'City borrowed $600 ,000 . for seed money.
Mr . Brooks said in regards to Homesteading , the Texas State
Law says if you live in a home on January 1st , you do not
have to file papers for homestead every year . City Attorney
said that it does not matter about a homestead, the City can
still put a lien on the property. Mayor Pro Tem Akin said
this is why we are putting on the certificates, "non-
transferable" . Mr . Brooks said to have a one, two, three
and five year payout plan with interest stopping at the
fifth year . City Manager John Pitstick said we are leaving
an option to pay out over the five years, and the interest
will stop, but after the three,or five year option, if
nothing has been paid then the City can take legal action.
Mayor Pro Tem Akin said I think the people up here who
supports this program is trying to help by making it as easy
as possible on the property owners by stretching it out .
Councilman Naish we are also wanting all the citizens that
can afford to, to pay so we will be able to do other work in
town. Mayor Pro Tem Akin said that was the purpose of why
we call it seed money. I do not believe everyone
understands what seed money is . Seed money is where you
seed something and get some back and keep moving on, but if
you tie up all your money in one project with out getting
some back, then you can' t go very far . Mr. Brooks wanted to
know if any property was being taken to do this job. City
Manager John Pitstick said no, it is all in the right-of-
way. Mr . Brooks said the school had concrete trucks in and
out and they tore up this street. Mayor Trimble said the
school is being assessed and there is nothing we can do to
about the concrete trucks . Mayor Pro Tem Akin said the
street has been there at least 20 years .
Motion was made by Councilman DiTota to approve the
Ordinance and allow five year payout with interest with
"non-transferable" on the certificates. Mayor Trimble said
first 90 days with no interest , three year payout with 8%
interest and a five year payout with 8% interest and "non-
transferable" certificates . Councilman Swartz wanted to
know about six year pay out . Councilman DiTota amended his
motion to approve the Ordinance with payment within 90 days
no interest, three (3) year payout with 8% interest , five
(5) year payout with 8% interest and six (6) year payout
with 8% interest . This motion was seconded by Councilman
Messenger. The vote was as follows: Mayor Trimble - in
favor, Mayor Pro Tem Akin - in favor, Councilman Swartz - in
favor , Councilman DiTota - in favor , Councilman Messenger -
in favor, Councilman Blakey - in favor and Councilman Naish
- in favor . This motion carried with all in favor .
APPROVAL OF ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING THE SPEED ZONE FOR
HIGHWAY 78: Assist. City Engineer , Mr . Ron Homeyer said
this Ordinance changes the speed zone in front of the
hospital from 45 MPH to 40 MPH. Mr . Homeyer also said the
State did a survey in 1985 and recently they did a spot
survey on Highway 78 and feel there is no changes needed
except at the hospital area. Mr . Homeyer said he does not
agree with the Highway Department . They base their survey
on the speed of cars on off peak periods and do not look at
accidents . Councilman Naish suggested to contact the
Department of Public Safety, to put up signs stating strict
enforcement of speed zones, then enforce them. Mayor Pro
Tem Akin wanted to know if Department of Public Safety
patrolled the highway. Mayor Trimble said no, Chief Abbott
was wanting them here more but has not gotten any response
from them yet . That is why Chief Abbott was trying to get
them to put an office in our complex . Councilman DiTota
wanted to know what the results were when this survey was
done. Mr . Homeyer said in looking at the survey, most
traffic was doing 40 MPH north of Kirby, had a reading of
85% going 42MPH and going South 46 MPH and another 42MPH
beyond that and they use the two 42 MPH to justify the 40
MPH.
Motion was made by Councilman Ditota to approve the speed
zone ordinance lowering the speed in front of the hospital
from 45 MPH to 40 MPH. Seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Akin. The
vote was as follows : Mayor Trimble - in favor , Mayor Pro

expenses , will have money reallocated from Certificates of

for General Fund are at 80 .6% and in Utility Fund are at

$9 ,629 .86 87 taxes claims in bankruptcy this year . Mr .
Johnson also suggested to Council to consider an up date to
the rate study on water and sewer rates by Mr . Charles
Binford. Mr . Johnson also suggested to restrict expenditure
levels as much as possible in all departments, to consider
seizure of personal property for delinquent taxes and to
continue to collect on delinquent taxes, if the revenue
shortfalls continue, short-term cash borrowing will have to
be considered .
CITIZEN PARTICIPATION: Mayor Trimble requested those
wishing to come forward and address the Council to state
their name and address and to keep their comments to within
two minutes.
Mrs . Catharine Frye stated that she lives in Wylie in the
Summer months just South of Town. There was a change in the
status of her water charges . Her home is across from the
Southside Fire Station and she is outside the city limits .
Her father requested to lay his own water line and connect
to the city line. There are 12 people who tied onto the
line and paid for their water . My father paid the same
rates as inside city limit customers . I am paying outside
rates now and I inquired about this and was told because I
was outside the city I had to pay outside rates . Because
these rates are 2 .5 times higher, I do not water the lawn, I
only use water for personal use. A former Mayor , Mr . Click,
ask for a use of discarding tin cans and we let them use our
land as long as they buried them. We worked with the City
then and want to work with them still . I am very proud of
Wylie. Mrs . Frye asked the Council to extend the inside
water rates to her property.
COUNCIL DISCUSSION: Mayor Trimble asked the staff to look
into this matter for Mrs . Frye. Mr . Johnson said he
reviewed the people and changed their code to out side
rates. All of these people are connected to the new 14"
line. Mayor Trimble also stated that he received a letter
from Wylie North East Water Supply requesting the Council
sell them the old water tower behind the old police station.
Mr . Johnson said it might be subject to a bid item.
Councilman Naish wanted to know if BFI has provided any
information for water bills. Mr . Johnson said we ask for
this information but have not received it as yet .
Councilman Naish stated that there have been several
accidents on Highway 78 and FM544 , where people are passing
on the shoulder . Mr . Ron Homeyer said he has tried to get
the Highway Department to give him a time frame on this
intersection being done with turn lanes but so far they
would not agree. Mr . Homeyer said he thought if the City
paid for the turn lanes the Highway Department might go
ahead and approve the plans . Councilman Naish wanted to
know if staff did anything about the Suburban or equipment
for the fire department . Mr . Johnson said if Council so
desires, they can go out for bids for a Suburban. Mayor
Trimble said if the Fire Chief would come and made a
presentation for the Suburban and boat , but this was voted
down by a large majority the last time it was brought up. I
would want to hear a presentation on the needs of this prior
to seeking bids.
Councilman Blakey complimented Mr . Faires on his activity
report. Councilman Blakey wanted to know if the police
department was enforcing the large trucks from turning on
Butler Street . Also the right turn on shoulder off Highway
78 , we have tired to keep this from happening and it backs
up the traffic for several miles. If the State can not put
in a turn lane then we should not do this . When Mr . Johnson
was acting City Manager , we were enforcing this turning from
shoulder and there was a lot of problems . Mayor Pro Tem
Akin said going east on Highway 78 the traffic was blocking
entrances to the Shamrock Station. Mr . Lee said he would
put signs up if we had the Ordinance. Mr . Homeyer said the
Highway Department will not participate in the cost of a
turn lane but we can put it in ourselves . Councilman Blakey
wanted to know what the past history of citizens dumping at
the land fill was . Mayor said it used to be you could take
your water card and use the land fill free of charge, but
the land fill is not ours and we can not do this anymore.
Councilman Messenger complimented Mr . Faires on his report
and wanted to know why we do not have these from all
departments . City Manager John Pitstick said Council
receives a monthly report from the other departments .
Councilman Messenger wanted to know where on Ballard the new
construction would start and end in regards to the Fire
Station. City Manager John Pitstick said from Stone Road to
South City Limits . Councilman Messenger said the alley
behind Kamber in Point North Addition has weeds hanging over
the alley. Councilman Messenger also wanted to now where
the information was on the swimming pool . City Manager John
Pitstick said he has a presentation to give on the swimming
pool .
Councilman DiTota wanted to know if the directional signs on
Highway 78 and FM 544 could be improved. The current signs
are pointing in all directions and this could be made
clearer . Councilman DiTota said the money borrowed for the
Street Program was to have some of it go for High
Maintenance project . City Manager John Pitstick said we
have completed some. Mr . Don White said we completed the
7
sewer line behind the hospital . This is the only one we
have completed . Mr . White said the person who is going to
help with Brown St. is not here but I will get a time table
from him. Mr . ' Ron Homeyer stated that there was a very
large expense if the Council chose to go with North Texas
Water District Line for Mr . Rich' s property. The City will
have to put a back flow on this line and it is costly. We
are looking right now at running a two inch line down
Hensley from our line in Steele Industrial Park to Rich' s
property.
Councilman Swartz regarding the speed limits on Highway 78 ,
there are few people who do not realize we have speed limits
on City Streets . I would like police to start patrolling
the residential streets . In regards to the work being done
on Birmingham, a citizen called and wanted to know why
construction machinery was using Jackson Street . Also on
inquiring on parks on Rustic Oaks and Point North, why can' t
we set aside an area for a park.
Mayor Pro Tem Akin said when San Antonio Savings and Loan
purchased this land, they made a commitment for land for a
park in this Birmingham Farms. Mayor Pro Tem Akin stated
that the cross ties are still in the R-O-W between Marble
and Brown, I would appreciated getting them moved . Also the
Rustic Oaks subdivision was to be the last open drainage,
right. Mr . Johnson said the City does not have a channel
ordinance. Mr . Homeyer said the way our ordinance is
written, it does not do away with open ditch drainage . This
is a temporary drainage. Mayor Pro Tem Akin said to make
sure the car phones are on the agenda before the contract is
renewed. Mayor Pro Tem Akin said after the trouble we had
on Birmingham St . I thought we would have a work shop on
planning the next street . City Manager John Pitstick said
the public hearing and Resolution would be on the next
agenda for Callie Court and Ballard. Mayor Pro Tem Akin
said we have a lot of pot holes. Mayor Pro Tem Akin wanted
to know when we would be honoring the past Council and Board
members .
Mayor Trimble asked Mr . White to check Akin Lane for
patching pot holes .
Mayor Pro Tem Akin said the park is still in need of clean
up. Mr . White said it was scheduled for this week, but it
rained.
Councilman Naish said there is a company in Richardson that
repairs pot holes for $2 .00 a square foot .
City Secretary Carolyn Jones reminded the Council that their
semi-annual reports were due.
City Manager John Pitstick stated that staff had received
the initial $8 ,400 . grant money from the Meadows Foundation.
We hired Beth Brewster for Summer Children Program. She
will be with us for about nine weeks . Councilman Swartz
wanted to know how much Council has to say about the hiring .
City Manager John Pitstick said we have a range from the low
to mid $20 ,000 . We did an extensive salary survey.
Councilman Messenger said a full time Librarian plus Kay
full time, I think we can save and improve by hiring one
full time. Now we have one full time and volunteers . City
Manager John Pitstick said you should meet with the Library
Board. Mayor Trimble wanted to know what the maximum grant
would pay. City Manager John Pitstick said a maximum of
$13 ,000 .00 . Mayor Trimble said if we do not spend it on the
library director , do we loose it . City Manager John
Pitstick said we could. Councilman Messenger said $27 ,000 .
is a lot for the Library Director and I don' t think we
should spend this kind of money. The traffic in the library
does not warrant $27 ,000 . City Manager John Pitstick said
we asked for a grant package, I think we will have to pay
$22 ,000 . for MLS. Councilman Messenger said two full time
people is too much for the library. One full time and one
20 hour part time. City Manager John Pitstick said we want
to hire a person who can really get the library going. Seek
other foundations for help.
City Manger John Pitstick said he has talked with five or
six cities and some professionals in the field of swimming
pools . Approximate construction cost is $350 ,000 to half
million for a 200 ,000 gallon pool , this is a standard pool .
The maintenance cost will run from $25 ,000 to $40 ,000 . Most
charge $1 .00 for kids eight years and younger and $1 .25 for
adults, some have family/season passes. Most are open from
12 to 13 weeks out of the year, 7 days a week from 1 PM to 8
PM. There is a lot of liabilities, deep ends and diving
boards , gas chlorine, if we build, staff would recommend
gong to the liquid chlorine. In checking this out , most
people are going to different shape pools , and are moving
away from the rectangle pools. The City of Allen has
230 ,000 gallon pool and they recommend fencing a larger area
than just around the pool . This allows more people to come
in. The City of Allen paid $870 ,000 . for their pool, 42% is
cost of pool , 16% cost of filtration system, 32% cost of
bath house and 10o cost of fencing. City Manager John
Pitstick requested more time for more research and to bring
this back with the budget .
Councilman Messenger thanked him for what he has done, also
stated that he had talked to Mr . Harold Holligan and he
advised us to contact the local concrete companies for
decking. Southfork has 30 X 60 with a wading pool and
decking . Mr . Holligan said he would build the same for the
City for $40 ,000 . If you want to extend it later another
10 feet, it could be done for a couple thousand dollars .
Councilman Messenger said for a little town like Wylie to
take a gift like this and in a few years put in another one
in another part of town. For $40, 000 . we can do this now
and have it open by Memorial Day. City Manager John
Pitstick asked to bring this back on the budget . Mayor
Trimble said we would be obligated to go out for bids .
Mayor Trimble said to have the pool come forward in our
budget process in the $40 ,000 range.
There being no other matters of business or discussion, a
motion was made to adjourn with all in favor .

plant for a guideline for setting a Plan of Action. It is
only a plan and can be changed periodically if needed .
After the Thoroughfare Master Plan then we will work on the
Zoning Map and Land Use Map and Master Plan. It will take
approximately one year . Councilman Naish wanted to know why
one way on Ballard. Mr . Homeyer said to help the traffic
without taking all the parking off . If it is one way then
you have your traffic flowing and parking as well . Ron
Jefferies said in looking at the one way, this could hurt
the down town and more than likely the downtown will not be
there forever .
Councilman Naish said he would like to see us look at the
way the City of Allen did their downtown . Mayor Trimble
said they went through the Heritage Group. Allen has had a
lot of up set citizens over what they did also. Mr . Tom
Pritzkau wanted to know if the City could look at purchasing
a house on Jackson that could be a Heritage home and put a
park next to it . This could help keep the area up.
Cecelia Wood in regards to Jackson and Ballard, they are the
only streets except for Akin Lane that give you a cross town
access going north/south. Have you thought of using First
or Second as a collector street from Brown to Stone. You
need more through traffic for High School , P . M. Akin
Elementary, and Middle School . All three schools will be
using Ballard.
O

Zoning would begin working on the thoroughfare plan in
sections and begin to put the completed plan together for

CALLED CITY COUNCIL AND
LIBRARY BOARD MEETING
MINUTES
JULY 25, 1988
The City of Wylie City Council and the Rita and Truett Smith
Library Board met in a joint called session on Monday, July
25 , 1988 in the Rita and Truett Smith Library. A quorum was
present and notice of the meeting had been posted in the
time and manner required by law. Those present were Mayor
Pro Tem John Akin, Council Members Jim Swartz , Bud Naish,
Ortie Messenger, Marvin Blakey and Chris DiToTa, City
Manager John Pitstick, City Secretary Carolyn Jones ,
Librarian Kay Daniel , Children' s Librarian Beth Brewster and
Elizabeth Crabb from North East Texas Library System,
Library Board Chairman Robert Fultz , Members Mary Jo Smith,
Pat Zimmerman, Judy Lippe, Carol Barry, and Rita Smith.
Mayor Trimble arrived late. Library Board Member Betty
Stephens was absent .
Mayor Pro Tem Akin called the meeting to order and
Councilman Blakey gave the invocation.
City Manager John Pitstick stated that staff had received
the initial $8 ,400 .00 from the Meadows Grant and must spend
this plus the regular budgeted amount in order to maintain
their membership in the North East Texas Library System.
Plus the grant from the Meadows Foundation, the Library
Board has raised some $3 ,600 .00 . In the grant received from
the Meadows Foundation, staff requested certain things, such
as a summer Children' s Librarian and a Library Director .
The basic grant is for $8 ,400 . and the second phase is a
$l: $1 match, which is to pay the librarian' s salary next
year . The Meadows Foundation expects the City to fund the
Library Directors salary in 89/90 budget year . Staff has
hired Beth Brewster as the Summer Children' s Librarian and
she will be here about three weeks. Miss Brewster stated
she has two sessions for summer reading programs. She has
registered 112 children and last week had 96 in the library.
There are prizes for the children that read the most books .
We have ages two (2) thru thirteen (13) , and there are five
(5) to six (6) groups a week. City Manager John Pitstick
said he had told Beth if she could get 100 kids, her time
will have been well spent. Last week it was popcorn and
movie day and there were about 40 kids . City Manager John
Pitstick said that staff needed to hire the Library Director
or an interum Library Director. It may be better if we hire
someone for the time being and try and hire the Library
Director by October 1st .
Councilman Naish wanted to know why the $59,000 .00 is the
figure. City Manager John Pitstick said that it is done by
a formula over the past three years .
Ms. Elizabeth Crabb from North East Texas Library System
stated in 1969 State Legislature passed the Texas Library
System Act, this allows groups of Librarians to assist each
other and from their systems. Systems are line items in the
State budget . There is certain critia for staying in the
system. When your annual report is turned in it must have
expended an average of the last three years . If you do not
expend this, then you are out of the system. If you do not
expend $59 ,000 . you will loose your membership for at least
one year, but you also loose what NETLS has put in your
Library so far . Plus the items that you can apply for from
NETLS, we also supply large print books that are sent from
Library to Library, Video films , you get 35 of each of these
and can keep them for two months . Over the past years , the
NETLS has given to your Library approximately $2 ,000 . to
$3 ,000 . worth of books that your Librarian selects but NETLS
pays for , film projectors , film screen, laminator , rom
reader , overhead projector . The Library would loose these
items if they loose their membership. Ms . Crabb said there
are 79 public libraries in our area. There is also a
telephone credit card that is given to the Librarian and she
can make calls to other libraries without charge to your
City. Ms . Crabb said in talking with the Library Board, it
was decided to ask the Meadows Foundation for help in
staffing as NETLS cannot help with staffing. You can not
run a library properly without a good staff . One person and
volunteers can not run the Library, without a staff to
advertise your services, then you cannot build your library.
Ms . Crabb said Kay does a very good job, but needs help in
planning for future. I urge you to tell us to keep looking
for and to hire a Library Director with an MLS.
Rita Smith said it is really important that we have
qualified persons to tell us what we need. We are taking
Elizabeth Crabb and John Pitstick' s time to be our
Librarian .
Councilman Messenger said on the circulation report, there
needs to be a head count not book count so we know how many
people are coming in and at what hours they are coming in.
Judy Lippe said that was the shame of it , you get Beth, she
is reaching the kids but she leaves soon, then what . City
Manager John Pitstick said that is why we started staying
late on Tuesday. The problem is staffing it .
Councilman Naish said there is a lot of problems in the
Library. Maybe the volunteers could open up on Monday and
Kay could be off . City Manager John Pitstick said that was
a good point, but we need someone that is trained in the
library field .
Councilman Blakey wanted to know how the volunteer program
was . City Manger John Pitstick said we have about 15
volunteers, but we can not depend on them. There is just to
much going on. It has been successful but Kay wants to take
vacation and we cannot let her off when she is the only
staff .
Ms. Crabb said you have to have a library director who can
get out and visit the civic clubs , schools and etc and sell
your Library.
Councilman Swartz wanted to know if all the applicants had
the same qualifications . City Manager John Pitstick said
no, some have just gotten out of school with no experience.
Mayor Pro Tem Akin wanted to know if you have districts to
serve. Ms . Crabb said you receive money from Collin County,
you must serve Collin County as well as your City. You can
not have taxes , Texas Law does not allow the library tax .
City Manager John Pitstick said we need a strong Library
Director that will promote the library as well as the
people.
Chairman Robert Fultz said until you loose the Library
Director , you don ' t know what you had . The Board today
looks at the Library Director a lot different than we did a
year ago .
City Manager John Pitstick said we have a beautiful facility
and we are the only one our size with this nice of building.
We need a Director that can promote and lead our Library.
It is the personality behind the person leading us .
Councilman Messenger wanted to give consideration to have
the summer reading extended into all year, during school on
Saturday or Sunday.
After some discussion, City Manager John Pitstick was given
direction to take the name of the person that Ms . Crabb
knows and thinks will come in for a short period of time to
be the director until such time staff can hire someone.
Chairman Fultz thanked the City Council for their time and
help. Mayor Pro Tem Akin said he appreciated what the
Library Board has done. Ms. Crabb said this was one of the
hardest working Library Boards and City Managers she has
ever worked with.
There being no other discussions, a motion was made to
adjourn with all in favor .

money for the McKinney Airport . Mr . Belew said it was for
the Commissioners Court to acquire the land that is adjacent
to the present airport and at the time McKinney can enlarge
the airport, the City of McKinney will purchase this land
from the County. McKinney is wanting to expand their
airport for cargo and possible passenger planes . If this
bond program passes, the City of McKinney has agreed to
change the name of the airport and add some County residents

PUBLIC HEARING ON THE ASSESSMENT OF PROPERTY IN CONNECTION
WITH THE 1988 STREET RECONSTRUCTION PROGRAM ON S. BALLARD
AND CALLIE COURT: Mayor Trimble opened the Public Hearing
on the assessment of property in connection with the 1988
Street Reconstruction Program on S. Ballard and Callie
Court . City Manager John Pitstick said this is on S.
Ballard and Callie Court and we are proposing to improve
Ballard Street from Stone Road south through the Thirsk
Corp. property. Mr . Lane from Lane Appraisal Company is
here, his firm did the appraisals on these streets . By law
the maximum we can charge is the enhancement, staff will
charge which ever is less, assessment or enhancement. The
Ordinance for this pay out is ninty (90) days no interest ,
three (3 ) years with eight percent (8%) interest, five (5)
years with eight percent (8%) interest, or six (6) years
with eight percent (8%) interest . The property owners can
choose which payout option they want . This is for an
asphalt street . Mayor Pro Tem Akin wanted to know if this
was on the 1/3 ; 1/3 and 1/3 formula. City Manager John
Pitstick said yes , except Callie Court and that was approved
by Council some months ago on a 20a cost to Callie Court
and the City pick up 600 . Mayor Pro Tem Akin said S.
Ballard is what he is talking about . Mayor Pro Tem Akin
said all properties will be enhanced even those outside the
city limits, could we give them a chance to contribute.
Mr . John Seeley of 600 Valentine, stated he was represneting
the Church of Christ, will you have side walks. Mr . Ron
Homeyer said there will be walks . Mr . Seeley wanted to know
how we assessed the school . City Manger John Pitstick said
just like every other property owner .
Mr. Irvin Brooks wanted to know how did you come by the
enhancement. There are some properties enhanced more than
other . Mayor said we hired an independent appraiser and he
made the appraisal on his expertise . The appraiser valued
the property on its value before and then what it would be
after improvements .
Mrs . Jane Baugh stated in making property value, our street
is improved and we pay for this and then our taxes go up.
Is this going to make our property go up. Mayor Trimble
said Council nor staff has any control , this appraisal for
taxes comes from Central Appraisal District . Mrs . Baugh
said she needed to get with the City Manager , as she was
very confused and wanted to get it straight.
Mr . Clyde Key of 345 Callie Court, I am anxious to get on
with this project . How wide is this going to be? Mr .
Homeyer said a 24 ' asphalt driving surface with a 26 ' base.
Mr . Tom Lane from Lane Appraisal Company, said real estate
appraisers have a process to go through when appraising, we
have done this for many cities . Take values from the taxing
authority first . This process is on a front foot basis
unless the lots sizes vary a lot in which case on Ballard
Street they did vary and then we have to change to linear
feet.
Councilman Naish wanted to know if other cities were doing
this same type of assessments . Mr . Lane said yes, Plano,
McKinney and Rockwall are doing it right now. Mr . Lane said
the condition of the house if in poor shape can be taken
into consideration, mostly it is land value only.
I'
Mr . Brooks said he has two pieces of property and the larger
tract was assessed a lot less than the small tract .
Mr . Heischman said do you start with a base figure and then
add percent for improvements. Mr . Lane said we try and keep
improvements out. Mr . Heischman wanted to know if Mr .
Lane' s assessment was less then Central Appraisal can we
take your appraisal to Central Appraisal and ask them to
explain. Mr . Lane said yes , I would talk to them.
There being no other questions or comments , Mayor Trimble
closed the public hearing .
APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION ON THE LEVYING OF ASSESSMENT AGAINST
ABUTTING OWNERS OF PROPERTY FOR THE 1988 STREET
RECONSTRUCTION PROGRAM ON S. BALLARD AND CALLIE COURT:
Motion was made by Councilman DiTota to approve the
Resolution for the levying of assessments against abutting
owners of property for the 1988 Street Reconstruction
Program on S. Ballard and Callie Court. Seconded by
Councilman Blakey.
Councilman Naish said property owners that are on the west
side in the County, I do not believe this is fair to our
citizens to pay for the people in the County. Also I had
asked the City Manager to ask the County to help. Mr .
Homeyer said we were not going into the part that the City
has de-annexed some of the road. All the road we are
reconstructing is inside the City Limits.
Mayor Pro Tem Akin stated he would like to contact these
people to help.
Councilman Naish wanted to know what County said. City
Manager John Pitstick said they would trade off where we
have half the road they would have half . This part is all
in the City, they did say they would work with us .
Councilman Akin said in 1982 the County said they would
maintain this road. City Manager John Pitstick said I was
invited to McKinney the first week I was here and was told
they would not maintain any city roads .
Councilman Messenger wanted to know what would happen if we
completed from Stone Rd. to the Fire Station. City Manager
said that would be about half way. I would be more than
happy to sit down with these people outside the city limits
and show them the enhancement.
Mayor Pro Tem Akin said he would like to see these people
talked to about the improvements .
Councilman DiTota wanted to know what would happen if we
deleted Ballard. Mr . Don White said it would make us still
be there when school starts . Mr . Dillard, City Attorney,
said you can not make an agreement or assess the people
outside the City.
City Manager John Pitstick said Mrs . Frey is here and she is
one of the property owners. Councilman Naish stated to Mrs .
Frey that she has 1 , 585 front footage on Ballard. We are in
the process of assessing the city residents to help pay for
this street . Would you be willing to contribute to this
program as your land will be enhanced. Mrs . Frey said this
property is owned by my sister and myself . I would be unable
to give an answer without talking with the others. I do
have the interest of Wylie in my heart and would want to do
my part. I do not know how much we are talking about .
Councilman Naish said that was the reason for talking about
taking Ballard off at this time, until we could talk with
all the abutting property owners outside the city limits.
City Manager John Pitstick said we can sit down and talk
with the property owners and ask them to participate, but we
cannot make them participate. If you want to legally assess
them, we have to take ninety (90 ) to one hundred and twenty
(120) days and annex the property. Whether we build or not
it will not affect these people.
Councilman Naish wanted to know if it could be made a part
of the annexation ordinance that they would have to
participate in the improvements . Mr . Dillard said you have
a service plan but I am not so sure that you can not go
ahead and assess these abutting property owners. You would
have to go through the assessment process again for these
properties .
Councilman Messenger asked Councilman DiTota to amend his
motion to delete Ballard Street from this Resolution. City
Manager John Pitstick ask if money was there for Callie
Court . Mr . Homeyer said no, you cannot free up the
perimeter street funds unless you do Ballard. City Manager
John Pitstick said the money we are getting is from the
Meadows and Thirsk properties.
Councilman Naish asked Mr . Dillard if we approve this
ordinance can we go back an assess these property owners
later.
Mayor Trimble requested the motion to be withdrawn. City
Manager John Pitstick requested to table the item until the
next meeting instead of withdrawing the motion. Mr .
Dillard, City Attorney, said you will have to do the public
hearing, appraisal and assessments on all of these
properties . Mr . Dillard also said you can take the
ordinance under advisement, you can delete, but not add to
the ordinance.
Mayor Trimble said if we table we have not stopped
everything. Mr . Dillard said you have to go through the
process for these new properties.
Mr . Homeyer said Thirsk is paying $61 ,000 . and the Meadows
$51 ,000 . and there is not enough money with $51 ,000 . to do
over half of the project .
Councilman DiTota withdrew his motion to approve.
A motion was made by Mayor Pro Tem Akin to table the items
regarding the Resolution and Ordinance on the levying of
assessment against abutting owners of property for the 1988
Street Reconstruction Program on S. Ballard and Callie Court

in the right zoning . Therefore I waived the fee since it
was our error .

closed the public hearing.

(6) months to remove these signs . Most cities do not allow
portable signs .
Councilman Messenger wanted to know if we are making any
kind of allowances for new businesses . Mr . Faires said
during any three (3 ) week period during the year you can use
banners .
Councilman DiTota asked Mr . Faires what is a portable sign ,
there is nothing in the ordinance. Mr . Faires said Mr .
Dillard stated the definition is critical to regulating
protable signs and it is difficult to come up with an
adequate definition. Mr . Dillard also sent staff several
ordinance to look at and go by in making the definition for
portable signs . The definition in our ordinance reads,
"Portable signs are those which are constructed off site and
are not rigidly affixed or attached to the ground or to a
permanent building or structure and shall include any sign
originally designed to be easily moved form place to place
whether rigidly attached to the ground or permanent
structure or not" . Mr . Faires said this definition has come
from another city' s ordinance.
Mrs . Jayne Chapman did you state the ordinance does not say
anything about wind resistance. City Manager John Pitstick
said there is an item in the regular sign ordinance but not
in the portable signs .
Motion was made by Mayor Pro Tem Akin to approve the

APPROVAL OF PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR SMITH ESTATES: This
property is located on Highway 78 and is in the ETJ of
Wylie. Mr . Ron Homeyer said this is a large tract and the
owner wanted to divide it into several lots . City Manager
John Pitstick did request enough R-O-W so if this was taken
into the City, there would be enough R-O-W to comply with
our current street ordinances . City Manager John Pitstick
stated that this person came into to me and wanted to put
another house on this land and it already has one house on
it . This meets our minimum requirements .
Mayor Pro Tem Akin said I realize this is ETJ, but I have a
problem with septic systems, we are under a mandate from the
State now.
Councilman Naish said Highway 78 going to four lanes, it
looks like we could have four access drives onto the
highway. Mayor Trimble said we cannot deny access . City
Manager John Pitstick said we could have two lots share an
access. Mayor Trimble said he shares Mayor Pro Tem Akin' s
concerns about the septic system.
Councilman Blakey said this is in our ETJ, in our
subdivision ordinance does our perimeter street fund apply.
Mr. Dillard said your perimeter street fund applies only
inside the City. City Manager John Pitstick said it meets
minimum requirements with frontage on highway.
Mayor Trimble said there were some issues that need to be
answered before we move forward.
Councilman Swartz said we did not need to inherit these
problems in the future and that is what happens when we
accept plats at minimum standards .
Mayor Pro Tem Akin said people have intentions and then
property changes owners and we have problems .
Councilman Naish wanted to know the state law for septic
systems . Mr. Dillard said they have to meet requirements
from North Texas Municipal Water District .
Mr . Homeyer said the requirements are a lot stiffer for lots
smaller than one acre.
Councilman Messenger said we could have the same problem as
we have with Presidential Estates. Mr. Dillard said right
now the City does not have any say on this because we do not
serve them water . They have to meet NTMWD and County
requirements .
Mr . Homeyer said the City has some areas that we have
annexed and are not in our water service area and I would
like to file a convenience and necessity for this area.
Motion was made by Councilman Naish to deny the approval of
the preliminary plat for Smith Estates. Seconded by
Councilman Messenger . The vote was as follows : Mayor
Trimble - in favor , Mayor Pro Tem Akin - in favor ,
iSq0

Mayor Trimble said with this denial , we should give some
guide lines to Planning and Zoning . Councilman Swartz said
Planning and Zoning passed on minimum requirements and if we
want more we need to set them up.
APPROVAL OF PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR TWIN LAKES PHASE II : This
property is located on S. Ballard and is commonly known as
the Thirsk Property. This is Phase II of the plat and shows
zoning and park land and has better access to the park land.
City Manager John Pitstick said we worked with these people
to provide better access to the park land. Seconded thing
is Alanis is a major thoroughfare with alleys in the back.
Mayor Trimble wanted to know if we could help them with
their street names .
Mayor Pro Tem Akin said the triangle piece of property is to
be dedicated to the City. Recommend lots be squared up and
the triangle piece of property be put in as part of the park
land.
Councilman DiTota wanted to know the number of lots in each
type of zoning. Mr . Homeyer said there was 67 lots in SF -
1 , 106 lots in SF -2 and 164 lots in SF-3 and 1 Retail lot .
Councilman Messenger said he likes to see a lot of cul-de-

Councilman Swartz said at the Planning and Zoning meeting
when this was discussed , the people were willing to work
with the City in order to do this right .
Motion was made by Councilman Messenger to approve the
preliminary plat for Twin Lakes Phase II with the
stipulation that the triangle piece of property be made a

DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION OF DIVERTING WATER OFF CEMETERY
ON J. W. AKIN LANE: Mr . Ron Homeyer said the curb was
already in place when he came to work for the City. The
curb was there to divert water off of the houses below it .
The Cemetery Board is requesting Council to give direction
to take the curb out . City Manager John Pitstick said staff
wants to work with both parties .
Councilman Naish wanted to know if there was a State Law
about diverting the water from one property to another . Mr.
Dillard said yes .
Councilman Swartz wanted to know if we could put a curb on
the other side. Mayor Pro Tem Akin said the Cemetery Board
is concerned about erosion from the water and there are
grave sites close to the fence. Mayor Pro Tem Akin said the
past minutes will reflect that this area was a flood plain
and the Cemetery should be taken out of this problem. It is
a problem between the City and the developer .
Mr. Kent Crane is one of the property owners and he said
their property goes to the fence of the cemetery and the
water still goes on our property. There is a drainage area
that goes to the north side of Fifth with a natural slope .
In one rain Dr . Pilkington' s house was flooded. There are
two concrete flumes and both of these were completely full .
This natural slope was over loading the system. It seems to
be a solution when this curb was put in. I talked to the
City Manger and he said this would be fine. A contractor
did the work but the City paid for it . This water comes in
my yard. I watch this closely. It has not rained hard
enough to go over this curb. One time it has done this but
it was because someone had run over the culvert at the
cemetery entrance. Water runs on a natural slope and only
goes over this curb once every few years .
Mayor Trimble said you don' t see any reason for taking it
out . What can we do to help the cemetery? Mr . Crane said
right now there is a lot of grass in the ditch and this is
the best thing for erosion.
Mayor Pro Tem Akin said we have records that show that road
has been there for a long time and the developer knew that
this was in the flood plain. I know your deeds show that
the road is part of your property. But the minutes reflect
that this was a flood plain and signs should have been
posted. Mayor Pro Tem Akin also stated that there were
stipulations for wider alleys due to the flood plain. In
July 25, 1983 there was a fifty foot right-of-way for Akin
Lane. Mr . Crane said there are five title polices that show
the property goes to the fence. The point is there is a
dedicated easement where the water is to go and that is
where it is going.
Mrs . Reta Allen said they have pictures before and after the
curb. Within the last two years it has washed the ground
away.
Mayor Trimble said if we can clearly see where the deed of
record shows legal boundary for these property owners and if
there should have been restrictions put on these deeds,
could the title policy be responsible for the problem.
Mayor Trimble said before it was sold to these owners the
road had been dedicated, is there an issue. Mayor Trimble
said there is a question of who owns the ditch. Mr . Kent
Crane said it does not get on the cemetery property, it gets
close to it .
Mayor Pro Tem Akin said the road has been there for many
years and the developer was aware of it. Mr . Crane said the
solution is to maintain the ditch. Mr . Crane also said to
disturb this grass would cause a problem, and until the City
can put in culverts this will be a problem.
Mayor Trimble said Council has had staff to look at a
concrete liner in this ditch and several other ideals, but
the figures were so high we did not do anything .
Mrs. Reta Allen stated she and the Cemetery Board would like
to have the curb removed, but would allow the City and these
property owners to work out this problem.
Councilman Messenger said Mr . Homeyer has stated without
topographical maps you can not make a suggestion. Mr .
Homeyer said if you put in culverts and drainage, it would
help.
Councilman Swartz said we need to get a solution to keep
from flooding both sides .
Mayor Trimble asked that staff get together and include Mr .
Dillard and to try and come up with a solution .
APPROVAL OF PLAQUES FOR MUNICIPAL COMPLEX: Mayor Pro Tem
Akin stated that in the year 1986 the City Council approved
the plaques, one is the Mayor' s plaque with all the past
Mayors listed with their term of office and the other is a
dedication plaque for the building honoring the Councils .
Mayor Pro Tem Akin recognized some of the people whose names
would be on the plaque and stated some of them were with us
tonight and we should let them know how much we appreciate
what they have done for our City. Mayor Pro Tem Akin
introduced the following people who served as Mayors: Mr .
and Mrs . A. D. Boyd, - from 1958 to 1961 ; Mr . & Mrs. 0. W.
Hampton - from 1964 - 1968 ; Mrs . Dean Hackler, her husband
Cecil was Mayor from 1970-74 ; Mrs. Geline Dodd, her husband
passed away while serving as Mayor in 1976; Mr . & Mrs .
William Martin, served from 1976 to 1978 , also served as
Mayor Pro Tem and Council Member and is the longest serving
city official for Wylie; Mrs. Genene Hughes , her husband Don
was Mayor in 1986 and was Mayor Pro Tem and Council Member
also, Don was not present; Mrs Pauline Akin, my wife,
representing me for my term from 1978 - 1982 and 1984 -
1986 , her Grandfather J . Russel served as City secretary for
ten years and my father J. W. Akin Sr . served from 1937 to
1938 . All of these have meant a lot to me personally.
Motion was made by Councilman Swartz to approve the plaques,
one for the Mayors and their terms and the other a
dedication plaque for the new complex and honoring the
Councils . Seconded by Councilman Blakey. The vote was as
follows : Mayor Trimble - in favor , Mayor Pro Tem Akin - in
favor , Councilman Swartz - in favor , Councilman DiTota - in
favor, Councilman Messenger - in favor , Councilman Blakey -
in favor, and Councilman Naish - in favor.
PRESENTATION BY FIRE DEPARTMENT ON THE NEED FOR PUBLIC
SAFETY EQUIPMENT: Mr . Craig Swaner of the Volunteer Fire
Department was to be here tonight and has called and asked
that I make the presentation. I am Craig Wilson , the Fire
Department is asking for a water rescue vehicle, which the
City of Plano has one up for bid. The need for this is for
the volunteers to have a safe vehicle when called out on the
lake for rescuing people. We have asked for this in the
past, but it has been taken out of the budget . What we have
has limited space and is not a safe vehicle. The City of
Plano has a 1983 Deck Boat with motor and trailer , two fuel
tanks , and safety equipment . With this board we can have
four fire fighters and be able to take on 8 victims. This
is a flat bed and we would be able to give necessary
emergency treatment. This boat also has water tanks which
would enable us to put out fires .
City Manager John Pitstick wanted to know what the time span
was on the bids. Mr . Wilson said he did not know.
Councilman Naish said it has less than 25 miles on it . Mr .
Wilson said the loan value on it was $9 ,000 , but I heard the
bids were starting at $6 ,000 .00 . Councilman Naish said he
went with Larry Allen to look at this boat and it is in very
good shape.
Mayor Pro Tem Akin said for a long time the lake had more
drownings than any other lake. Many times our fire
department has had to drag the lake all night .
Mayor Trimble said it might be better to purchase it for the
police department for patrolling the lake for speeders and
people drinking, or maybe a joint effort .
Councilman Swartz said we want to protect our own people.
Councilman Naish said he had no ideal what to bid on this
boat. Councilman Messenger wanted to know if there was
money for this . Finance Director James Johnson said the
next item that we will have to talk about is the money for
this, but the Council will have to put a ceiling on the bid
price for staff .
3
DISCUSSION TO CHANGE SCHEDULE "A" OF THE PUBLIC SAFETY
CONTRACT: Finance Director James Johnson said these
certificates are for Public Safety Equipment for certain
things. The Council will have to ask the holder for their
permission to make a change . Mr . Johnson said he did not
believe there would be a problem, but we have to have her
written permission. City Manager John Pitstick said he
would find out when the bids have to be submitted.
APPROVAL OF PROPOSED LEASE RATE AND TERMS FOR J . P. COURT IN
WYLIE MUNICIPAL COMPLEX: City Manager John Pitstick said
about six months ago we talked to Collin County about bring
the J P Court into our complex. City Council set a square
foot rate of $10 . 19 . It was in their court about three
months, they have come back and said their current location
has given them the option to expand at $8 .00 per square
foot . Commissioners Court has given it to us for another
submission. Today they called and said they have been
offered a rate of $7 .50 per square foot . Putting the
numbers together , we would need to lower our rate to $8 . 00
per square foot to be able to compete. What we are doing
when we lower the rate is lowering the amount collected for
debt service . My attitude is it is better to lease the
space than have it setting there empty.
Mayor Trimble said can we go down as low as utility cost and
janitorial costs . City Manager John Pitstick said that
would be $3 .25 per square foot . City Manager John Pitstick
said that our County representative was behind us and wanted
us to get the lease. City Manager John Pitstick said we
would probably need to go to $8 .00 per square foot .
Mayor Trimble wanted to know if it could be a shorter term
with the lower rate. City Manager John Pitstick said with
the move in and building they have to do , it will have to be
a three year contract .
Mayor Pro Tem Akin said we need to make the best deal we
can. City Manager John Pitstick requested that Council
allow him to proceed with minimum of $8 . 00 per square foot .
Motion was made by Mayor Pro Tem Akin to approve the
submission of a the lease agreement with J. P. Court at a
minimum rate of $8 . 00 per square foot . Seconded by
Councilman Messenger . The vote was as follows : Mayor
Trimble - in favor, Mayor Pro Tem Akin - in favor ,
Councilman Swartz - in favor , Councilman DiTota - in favor ,
Councilman Messenger - in favor, Councilman Blakey - in
favor , and Councilman Naish - in favor . This motion carried
with all in favor .
AUTHORIZATION FOR STAFF TO SEEK AN UPDATE ON CHARLES BINFORD
RATE STUDY FOR WATER AND SEWER RATES: Finance Director
James Johnson said the proposal was suggested at the last
meeting . Council needs to address several items such as
water/sewer rates study with the growth rate. Mayor Pro
Tem Akin wanted to know who recommended the 15% growth rate .
Mr . Johnson said it is based on the growth rate from the
past years in the City, and is asking Council to allow him
to update the study. Councilman DiTota said when Binford
was hired there was another firm. Mr . Johnson said Reed
Stow. Councilman DiTota wanted to know what it would cost
for them to do the update. Mr . Johnson said a lot of money,
since Binford has all the information and data base and Reed
Stow does not have this . Mr . Johnson said that Mr . Binford
offered several options that Council could take the last
time. Mayor Trimble said Council should go with Binford
since he has all the information.
Councilman Naish said James you show us not using water and
yet NTMWD says we are buying more than last year . Mr .
Johnson said we are not using what we anticipated in the
study. Mr . Johnson said over all our usage is up but not up
on everyone. It is the growth and customer base.
Motion was made by Mayor Pro Tem Akin to approve the
water/sewer rate update by Mr. Binford . Seconded by
Councilman Messenger . The vote was as follows : Mayor
Trimble - in favor, Mayor Pro Tem Akin - in favor,
Councilman Swartz - in favor , Councilman DiTota - in favor ,
Councilman Messenger - in favor , Councilman Blakey - in
favor , and Councilman Naish - in favor . This motion carried
with all in favor .
DISCUSSION OF POSSIBLE ANNEXATION: City Manager John
Pitstick said the areas that are colored in on your maps are
the areas we have completely or partially surrounded. The
City can annex up to 100 of what is already in the city
limits, can go up to 30o if we haven' t annexed. You have to
have public hearings on the forced annexations. City
Manager John Pitstick said if we could get some direction of
were to start. Mayor Trimble said to take the one that is
the easiest and move forward .
Councilman DiTota wanted to know why the Hughes Cemetery was
not annexed. Mayor Pro Tem Akin said it was just a mixed up
situation. I think the people had rather have it in the
city.
DISCUSSION OF ACCEPTANCE OF DEDICATION OF BIRMINGHAM FARMS
PARK AREA: Mr . Roy Faires said north of FM 3412 which is
now called Brown and east of FM 1378 there is a soil
conservation lake and it has been zoned for park land . When
I talked to San Antonio Savings, I told them we could take
the park land and reduce their taxes , we did want to get the
land donated. The question his people wanted to know was if
they gave us the land now, what would we do to enhance it .
Do we want to try and get this land or part of it and
enhance it. Mr. Faires suggested to ask for the area from
the darn to Brown Street for a picnic area.
City Manager John Pitstick said he would not want the City
to take the entire 94 Acres that is to be park land. We
could get a few acres an do some enhancement , whatever we
take we want to maintain.
Mayor Pro Tem Akin said at one time they had dedicated a 100
foot right-of-way and we do not want to loose that .
City Manager John Pitstick said it was a problem getting our
kids across Highway 78 to our park. Councilman Swartz said
if there is an area for a park, I just did not want to loose
it . Mayor Trimble said we do not want to take the lake
until it has a lot of improvements . Mayor Trimble said he
was against taking any of the land until it is improved,
taking a portion of this land could lead to someone drowning
in that lake. Mayor Pro Tem Akin said he did not want to
loose any of this land. City Manager John Pitstick said it
is zoned as public use and in order for this to be changed,
it will have to come back to the Council for approval .
CITIZEN PARTICIPATION Mayor Trimble invited anyone wishing
to address the Council to come forward at this time. Please
state your name and address for the record and try and limit
your time to two minutes.
Mrs. Jill Tomek of 511 Rustic Place, on Birmingham Farms
area, to insure getting the high dry area, go ahead and take
it and leave it as a wilderness areas for camping , the park
has no funds to work with and we have discussed having an
auction or garage sale. Mayor Trimble said we need to
remember what we did with the fire department , you need to
get someone or some other group to sponsor this . Mrs . Tomek
said they needed a room to collect the items for the sale
in. Mayor Trimble said one thing the City of Plano does is
collect newspapers and aluminum cans . Councilman Messenger
said he came up with the garage sale. Mrs . Tomek said don' t
you have an empty room here we could use. Councilman
Messenger said he would like to compliment Jill and the rest
of the Board. The last meeting they walked all the parks of
the City. I do not see a problem with using space in City
Hall . Councilman Messenger said about two weeks, Jill for
collecting these items. Mayor Pro Tem Akin wanted to know
what you would do with the things that do not sell . Mrs .
Tomek said we will sell everything . Mrs . Tomek wanted to
know if the old house on Birmingham could be condemned and a
road put through to the park behind Valentine Street . Mayor
Pro Tem Akin said Valentine Park was donated to us because
the developer could not use the land or get to it . We had
hoped that people would use the park. Mrs . Tomek said to
look at purchasing this land.
Mrs . Jayne Chapman said two years ago this park was used and
was kept clean.
Mrs . Catharine Frey said since it is so late, I will
postpone the issue of my water rates until the next meeting.
There being no council discussion, a motion was made with
all in favor to adjourn.

requests permission to put a mobile home to be purchased by
the land owner and rented to parties unknown.

no unusual hardship was found to exist and there were
peculiarities to the land itself that would justify the
exempt ion they should deny it. A motion was made by Mr.

in favor.

DISCUSSION OF PROPOSAL OF COMMUNITY POOL: Mr. Whitlow said
we need to find out what it will take to establish a
community pool ; size, cost, location, foundation, and future
needs. What are the critical steps? John Pitstick said
that he would present to Council preliminary figures, but
that the Park Board needs an overall plan to present to
Council to include location options. The City needs a pool .
The YMCA is booked up with swimming lessons this summer, and
are having to use Rustic Oak Apartments pool . When the City
puts in a pool the YMCA will staff it in the summer.
Joanie Zeeb said that a year round pool would be better than
one used just for the summer. With the nearby lake the
children of this community need swimming lessons. Mr.
Pitstick said the pool could possibly be built in a way that
a structure could be built around it at a later date. Maybe
the City and WISD can go in together enclosing the pool .
Mr. Whitlow said that a self sufficient concept idea is what
we need. John Pitstick said that concessions and other
things will help in bringing a profit.
Mr. Smyder said the Park Board should be just as concerned
as City Council about monies. The Park Board needs to work
on locating funding sources.
Mr. Whitlow recommended that the matter be formally looked
into. Alot more information is needed before presenting
this to Council . Lets move forward and compile as much
information as we can in the next month and have a
discussion at the August meeting.
APPROVAL TO HAVE PARK PARKING LOT LINED: John Smyder said
the most numerous complaint about City Park is the parking
situation. By having lined parking areas it would add 20%
more parking space.
John Pitstick said since the City doesn' t have a striper
that we could either purchase or rent one. The cost of
purchase is somewhere around $150. 00.
Don White said once we had a striper it would only be a
matter of a few days to get the parking lot painted.
Mr. Smyder said that instead of taking this to Council that
he would leave it up to Public Works to get the job done.
DISCUSSION OF POLICE SUPPORT OF CITY ORDINANCES DURING HIGH
USE PERIODS OF THE PARK: John Smyder said he recalled an
ordinance being passed stating that no two wheeled vehicles
would be allowed in certain areas of the park. WSA took the
leadership role in disciplining offenders, it doesn' t work.
We need the Police Departments support. A small sign is
posted, but a larger one needs to be installed. Kids are
still in violation, some people are getting injured by kids
on skate boards, etc.
Mr. Pitstick said that the City is trying to build a reserve
police force and it may be helpful in this case and would be
good training for the reserve officers.
John Smyder said he would get with WSA on scheduled events
and then contact the Police Department as to the dates and
times of high useage.
GENERAL DISCUSSION: In updating the new members, Mr.
Pitstick went over the planting and playground plans. New
members requested copies of the plans and meeting minutes
for the past year.
Jill Tomek brought up that a sprinkler system needed to be
included in the planting plans for proper watering.
John Pitstick informed the Board Members that the YMCA
service is an extension program of the Garland YMCA. We
have to show support to the YMCA for a multitude of years
before they will show more permanent support, such as
erecting their own building. The YMCA is ready to take over
some things to include the scheduling of all events. By
letting the YMCA go ahead it will solve alot of WSA' s
problems.
John Pitstick told the board he needed direction on their
priorities before we go into the next budget year. There is
not enough money to cover everything, we' ll have to take it
one step at a time.
There was some discussion on the need of at least one full
time City employee for upkeep and maintenance in the Parks
Department.
All board members agreed on the need of discussing the Park
Master Plan, and decided to schedule a Park Board Workshop
on Thursday, July 21st, 1988 at 7:00 P. M. Mr. Whitlow
requested that a mark-and-wipe board and eraseable markers
be available for use at this meeting.
D. F. Whitlow stated that he felt the Park Board was
suffering from not meeting more than once per month. Mr.
Pitstick informed him that they could meet anytime they felt
it necessary with proper notification.
There being no other business or discussion, a motion was
made by D. F. Whitlow to adjourn, seconded by Bill Emsoff,
with all in favor.

DEPARTMENTAL RESPONSE
DATE RECEIVED: 7-14-88
REMARKS: C. Jones , City Secretary went through minutes when Mayor
Click was in office (1946-52,56-58) , there also does not appear be any mention
of such in the 1920-22 time period which was mention.From the minutes these notes,
7/15/46-Council voted to levy a service charge on all water meters being read
outside the city limits, the charge was .50 per meter; 2/1/58-a letter was sent
to Mrs. Lottie Stone in regards to her water bill being late. The City Council
paid her $250.00 for using the dump ground on her property for the year 1958.
In return, she had to pay the City $69.24 for water bills from early 1956 thru
Dec. 1957. Beginning 1/1/58 she was to pay on a monthly basis. Ordinance 66-5
9/26/66 city water/sewer rates for customers outside the city was changed to
DATE CITY COUNCIL NOTIFIED OF DISPOSITION: 7/26/88
STATUS : Active
DATE OF FINAL DISPOSITION:
City Council Inquiry -Ms. Kathryn Stone Frye-South Ballard -page 2
to approximately 200% of those charged to inside city residents. Various
rate ordinances between 1968-81 set rates for customers outside the
city at rates of 150% to 200% higher than city water/sewer rates. In 1983,
ordinance 83-36 set the rate for customers at 175% of city rates and in
1984, ordinance 84-12, the rate for customers outside the city was set at
200% of inside city rates. It has remained at this rate since then. The 200%
charge is normal in most cities I am experienced with in this charge.
No reference in the minutes indicates that the agreement Ms. Frye talked
about was a subject of official Council action. The water line which she
used was a one (1") inch line which also served at least four other
customers. The line appears to have been at least thirty (30) years old,
probably older. In 1986, R. Finholt installed a 14" line in front of the
properties along that side of the road (outside city) but within an
easement. The City has since acquired the line and elected to serve
the people along that line with the new service due to pressure
problems with the old line. The City installed the taps at our expense
when it changed the line from the 1" to the 14". Ms. Frye was one the
customers that received benefits from the new line in the summer of 1987.
Other customers have been changed over in the last few months.
Council policy since 1985 has been that the Council will approve all
connections /requests for city utility service for those persons
not in the city limits. Basically, this has stopped the practice.

8_5_88 SPEED LIMIT ON FM 544
The State Department of Highways and Public Transportation
has completed a survey of the traffic speeds on FM 544 west
of State Highway 78 at my request. This survey indicated a
need to reduce the present 55 mph speed limit to 50 mph
along the section of roadway between FM 1378 and Hooper
Road. The corresponding ordinance has been submitted to the
City and is presented to you for passage. I have reviewed
this traffic speed limit ordinance and feel that it is a
needed improvement and recommend that it be passed as

or serve as a guide in the preparation of your speed zone ordinance. We will
also furnish and install the necessary signs at the proper locations upon
receipt of the signed ordinance from the City of Wylie establishing the new
speed limits.
We appreciate the interest you have shown and the cooperation you have given.
If we may be of further assistance, please feel free to contact Mr. John H.

8-5-88 SEWER TAP FOR ONE LOT IN LAKE RANCH ESTATES
A Home Builder has approached the City of Wylie with a
request to connect a new home he is currently planning to
build in Lake Ranch Estates to the existing sanitary sewer
line in Washington Place within Presidential Estates
Subdivision. As you are aware the Texas Water Commission
(TWC ) has issued an Enforcement Order against the City of
Wylie which requires the elimination of the "Pump and Haul "
method of wastewater transportation. This connection to the
existing sewer with a new sewer service would increase the
amount of wastewater which the City would have to
transport. I feel that the addition of this one household
to the Presidential Estates sewer system would not have a
significant impact on our operations, nor would it be any
different from adding a new household within Presidential
Estates. I do not feel that the TWC will have a negative
response to including this household because it will help
put an end to the numerous septic system pollution loads on
the area drinking water supplies . Therefore, I recommend
that the sewer service be approved.
