John DeBurro representing the audit firm of Weaver L.L.P. presented the FY 2009-2010
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. Mr. DeBurro stated that he was pleased to report a
"clean unqualified opinion" for the reporting period. He explained that this opinion means that
the financial statements were presented fairly, in all material respects, the financial activities of
the government's activities. This is the highest opinion obtainable.
Mr. DeBurro reported that there were no problems dealing with management in performing and
completing the audit. He explained that staff had done a great job in both reporting and
assisting the firm with the audit.
Some of the highlights presented included the general fund, utility fund, and special fund

$7,389,071 due to tax revenue and County funding for road construction projects. Actual
revenues for the year were in excess of expenditures by $838,418 due to savings in
department's budgets.

On June 1, 2010 the City submitted a speed zone study to TxDOT for this portion of roadway. The study
recommended the speed be reduced to 25 miles per hour.
He explained there had been conversations with TxDOT regarding the city taking over ownership of that
roadway to which TxDOT had no objections should the city decide to do so. Mayor Hogue asked Police
Chief if the meter showing the speed of vehicles could be installed downtown, once the speed limit was
lowered. Chief Duscio replied that the department could do so. Mayor Pro Tern Byboth and Councilman

concern to the downtown merchants.
Councilman Porter stated he would like to see staff bring back additional information regarding city
ownership of Ballard Street from Brown Street to SH 78.

(I) Introduction
Opening Statement
January 21, 2011
Wylie City Council
Wylie, Texas 76180
Dear Distinguished Members of the City Council,
In 2001, the Texas legislature, in an attempt to address the issue of racial profiling
in policing, enacted the Texas Racial Profiling Law. Since 2001, the Wylie Police
Department, in accordance with the law, has collected and reported traffic-related contact
data for the purpose of identifying and addressing (if necessary) areas of concern
regarding racial profiling practices. During the past legislative session, the Racial
Profiling Law was modified and new requirements are now in place. These new
requirements have been met and are being addressed in this report.
In this particular report, you will find three sections that contain information on
traffic related and more recently, motor vehicle-related contact data. In addition, when
appropriate, documentation is also a component of this report, aiming at demonstrating
the manner in which the Wylie Police Department has complied with the Texas Racial
Profiling Law. In section 1, you will find the table of contents in addition to the Texas
Senate Bill (SB 1074) which later became the Texas Racial Profiling Law. In addition,
you will find the Texas HB 3389 which recently introduced new requirements relevant to
racial profiling. Also, in this section, a list of requirements relevant to the Racial
Profiling Law as established by TCLEOSE (Texas Commission on Law Enforcement
Officer Standards and Education) is included. In addition, you will find, in sections 2 and
3, documentation which demonstrates compliance by the Wylie Police Department
relevant to the requirements as established in the Texas Racial Profiling Law. That is,
documents relevant to the implementation of an institutional policy banning racial
profiling, the incorporation of a racial profiling complaint process and the training
administered to all law enforcement personnel, are included.
The last section of this report provides statistical data relevant to contacts, made
during the course of motor vehicle stops, between 1/1/10 and 12/31/10. This information
has been analyzed and compared to data derived from the U.S. Census Bureau's Fair
Roads Standard and to traffic-based contact data collected between 2002 and 2009. The
final analysis and recommendations are also included in this report.
The findings in this report serve as evidence of the Wylie Police Department's
commitment to comply with the Texas Racial Profiling Law.
Sincerely,
Alex del Carmen, Ph.D.

TCLEOSE GUIDELINES
Guidelines for Compiling and Reporting Data under Senate Bill 1074
Background
Senate Bill 1074 of the 77th Legislature established requirements in the Texas Code of
Criminal Procedure(TCCP) for law enforcement agencies. The Commission developed
this document to assist agencies in complying with the statutory requirements.
The guidelines are written in the form of standards using a style developed from
accreditation organizations including the Commission on Accreditation for Law
Enforcement Agencies (CALEA). The standards provide a description of what must be
accomplished by an agency but allows wide latitude in determining how the agency will
achieve compliance with each applicable standard.
Each standard is composed of two parts: the standard statement and the commentary.
The standard statement is a declarative sentence that places a clear-cut requirement, or
multiple requirements, on an agency. The commentary supports the standard statement
but is not binding. The commentary can serve as a prompt, as guidance to clarify the
intent of the standard, or as an example of one possible way to comply with the standard.
Standard 1
Each law enforcement agency has a detailed written directive that:
• clearly defines acts that constitute racial profiling;
• strictly prohibits peace officers employed by the agency from engaging in racial
profiling;
• implements a process by which an individual may file a complaint with the
agency if the individual believes a peace officer employed by the agency has
engaged in racial profiling with respect to the individual filing the complaint;
• provides for public education relating to the complaint process;
• requires appropriate corrective action to be taken against a peace officer
employed by the agency who, after investigation, is shown to have engaged in
racial profiling in violation of the agency's written racial profiling policy; and
• requires the collection of certain types of data for subsequent reporting.
Commentary
Article 2.131 ofthe TCCP prohibits officers from engaging in racial profiling, and article 2.132 of the
TCCP now requires a written policy that contains the elements listed in this standard. The article also
specifically defines a law enforcement agency as it applies to this statute as an"agency of the state,or ofa
county,municipality,or other political subdivision of the state,that employs peace officers who make
traffic stops in the routine performance of the officers' official duties."
The article further defines race or ethnicity as being of "a particular descent, including Caucasian,
African, Hispanic,Asian,or Native American." The statute does not limit the required policies to just
these ethnic groups.
This written policy is to be adopted and implemented no later than January 1,2002.
Standard 2
Each peace officer who stops a motor vehicle for an alleged violation of a law or
ordinance regulating traffic, or who stops a pedestrian for any suspected offense reports
to the employing law enforcement agency information relating to the stop, to include:
• a physical description of each person detained, including gender and the person's

Commentary
The information required by 2.133 TCCP is used to complete the agency reporting requirements found in
Article 2.134. A peace officer and an agency may be exempted from this requirement under Article 2.135
TCCP Exemption for Agencies Using Video and Audio Equipment. An agency may be exempt from this
reporting requirement by applying for the funds from the Department of Public Safety for video and audio
equipment and the State does not supply those funds. Section 2.135(a)(2)states,"the governing body of
the county or municipality served by the law enforcement agency, in conjunction with the law enforcement
agency,certifies to the Department of Public Safety,not later than the date specified by rule by the
department, that the law enforcement agency needs funds or video and audio equipment for the purpose of
installing video and audio equipment as described by Subsection(a)(1)(A)and the agency does not
receive from the state funds for video and audio equipment sufficient,as determined by the department, for
the agency to accomplish that purpose."
Standard 3
The agency compiles the information collected under 2.132 and 2.133 and analyzes the
information identified in 2.133.
Commentary
Senate Bill 1074 from the 7711'Session of the Texas Legislature created requirements for law enforcement
agencies to gather specific information and to report it to each county or municipality served. New sections
of law were added to the Code of Criminal Procedure regarding the reporting of traffic and pedestrian
stops. Detained is defined as when a person stopped is not free to leave.
Article 2.134 TCCP requires the agency to compile and provide and analysis of the information collected
by peace officer employed by the agency. The report is provided to the governing body of the municipality
or county no later than March 1 of each year and covers the previous calendar year.
There is data collectionand reporting required based on Article 2.132 CCP(tier one)and Article 2.133
CCP(tier two).
The minimum requirements for"tier one"data for traffic stops in which a citation results are:
I) the race or ethnicity of individual detained(race and ethnicity as defined by the bill means of"a
particular descent, including Caucasian,African, Hispanic,Asian,or Native American");
2) whether a search was conducted, and if there was a search,whether it was a consent search or a
probable cause search;and
3) whether there was a custody arrest.
The minimum requirements for reporting on"tier two"reports include traffic and pedestrian stops. Tier
two data include:
1) the detained person's gender and race or ethnicity;
2) the type of law violation suspected,e.g., hazardous traffic,non-hazardous traffic,or other criminal
investigation(the Texas Department of Public Safety publishes a categorization of traffic offenses
into hazardous or non-hazardous);
3) whether a search was conducted,and if so whether it was based on consent or probable cause;
4) facts supporting probable cause;
5) the type,if any,of contraband that was collected;
6) disposition of the stop,e.g., arrest,ticket,warning,or release;
7) location of stop; and
8) statement of the charge,e.g., felony,misdemeanor,or traffic.
Tier one reports are made to the governing body of each county or municipality served by the agency an
annual report of information if the agency is an agency of a county,municipality,or other political
subdivision of the state. Tier one and two reports are reported to the county or municipality not later than
March 1 for the previous calendar year beginning March 1,2003. Tier two reports include a comparative
analysis between the race and ethnicity of persons detained to see if a differential pattern of treatment can
be discerned based on the disposition of stops including searches resulting from the stops. The reports also
include information relating to each complaint filed with the agency alleging that a peace officer employed
by the agency has engaged in racial profiling. An agency may be exempt from the tier two reporting
requirement by applying for the funds from the Department of Public Safety for video and audio equipment
and the State does not supply those funds[See 2.135 (a)(2)TCCP].
Reports should include both raw numbers and percentages for each group. Caution should be exercised in
interpreting the data involving percentages because of statistical distortions caused by very small numbers
in any particular category, for example, if only one American Indian is stopped and searched, that stop
would not provide an accurate comparison with 200 stops among Caucasians with 100 searches. In the first
case,a 100%search rate would be skewed data when compared to a 50%rate for Caucasians.
Standard 4
If a law enforcement agency has video and audio capabilities in motor vehicles regularly
used for traffic stops, or audio capabilities on motorcycles regularly used to make traffic
stops, the agency:
• adopts standards for reviewing and retaining audio and video documentation; and
• promptly provides a copy of the recording to a peace officer who is the subject of
a complaint on written request by the officer.
Commentary
The agency should have a specific review and retention policy. Article 2.132 TCCP specifically requires
that the peace officer be promptly provided with a copy of the audio or video recordings if the officer is the
subject of a complaint and the officer makes a written request.
Standard 5
Agencies that do not currently have video or audio equipment must examine the
feasibility of installing such equipment.
Commentary
None
Standard 6
Agencies that have video and audio recording capabilities are exempt from the reporting
requirements of Article 2.134 TCCP and officers are exempt from the reporting
requirements of Article 2.133 TCCP provided that:
• the equipment was in place and used during the proceeding calendar year; and
• video and audio documentation is retained for at least 90 days.
Commentary
The audio and video equipment and policy must have been in place during the previous calendar year.
Audio and video documentation must be kept for at least 90 days or longer if a complaint has been filed.
The documentation must be retained until the complaint is resolved. Peace officers are not exempt from
the requirements under Article 2.132 TCCP.
Standard 7
Agencies have citation forms or other electronic media that comply with Section 543.202
of the Transportation Code.
Commentary
Senate Bill 1074 changed Section 543.202 of the Transportation Code requiring citations to include:
g P q g
• race or ethnicity,and
• whether a search of the vehicle was conducted and whether consent for the search was obtained.

(II) Responding to the Law
Institutional Policy on Racial
Profiling
I
amR WYLIE POLICE DEPARTMENT
P POLICY
TX
SUBJECT: Racial Profiling NUMBER: 614
EFFECTIVE DATE: January 1,2010 RELATED STANDARDS: Current policy
remains in effect until January 1,2010
REVIEW DATE: November 24,2011 APPROVED:
Chief John Duscio
DATED: 11/30/2009
I. PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to reaffirm the Wylie Police Department's
I commitment to unbiased policing in all its encounters between officers and any
person; to reinforce procedures that serve to ensure public confidence and mutual
trust through the provision of services in a fair and equitable fashion; and to
protect our officers from unwarranted accusations of misconduct when they act
within the dictates of department policy and the law.
II. POLICY
It is the policy of this department to police in a proactive manner and, to
aggressively investigate suspected violations of Iaw. Officers shall actively
enforce state and federal laws in a responsible and professional manner, without
regard to race, ethnicity or national origin. Officers are strictly prohibited from
engaging in a racial profiling as defined in this policy. This policy shall be
applicable to all persons, whether drivers, passengers or pedestrians.
Officers shall conduct themselves in a dignified and respectful manner at all times
when dealing with the public. Two of the fundamental rights guaranteed by both
the United States and Texas constitutions are equal protection under the law and
freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures by government agents. The
right of all persons to be treated equally and to be free from unreasonable searches
and seizures must be respected. Racial profiling is an unacceptable patrol tactic
and will not be condoned.
This policy shall not preclude officers from offering assistance, such as upon
observing a substance leaking from a vehicle, a flat tire, or someone who appears
to be ill, lost or confused. Nor does this policy prohibit stopping someone
suspected of a crime based upon observed actions and/or information received
about the person.
II.
Racial Profiling: A law enforcement-initiated action based on an individual's
race, ethnicity, or national origin rather than on the individual's behavior or on
information identifying the individual as having engaged in criminal activity.
Racial profiling pertains to persons who are viewed as suspects or potential
suspects of criminal behavior. The term is not relevant as it pertains to witnesses,
complainants or other citizen contacts.
The prohibition against racial profiling does not preclude the use of race, ethnicity
or national origin as factors in a detention decision when used as part of an actual
description of a specific suspect for whom an officer is searching. Detaining an
individual and conducting an inquiry into that person's activities simply because
of that individual's race, ethnicity or national origin is racial profiling. Examples
of racial profiling include but are not limited to the following.
• Citing a driver who is speeding in a stream of traffic where most other drivers
are speeding because of the cited driver's race, ethnicity or national origin.
• Detaining the driver of a vehicle based on the determination that a person of
that race, ethnicity or national origin is unlikely to own or possess that specific
make or model of vehicle.
• Detaining an individual based upon the determination that a person of that
race, ethnicity or national origin does not belong in a specific part of town or a
specific place.
A law enforcement agency can derive two principles from the adoption of this
definition of racial profiling
• Police may not use racial or ethnic stereotypes as factors in selecting whom to
stop and search, while police may use race in conjunction with other known
factors of the suspect.
• Law enforcement officers may not use racial or ethnic stereotypes as factors in
selecting whom to stop and search. Racial profiling is not relevant as it
pertains to witnesses, etc.
Race or Ethnicity: Of a particular decent, including Caucasian, African,
Hispanic, Asian, Native American or Middle Eastern Descent.
"Motor vehicle stop"means an occasion in which a peace officer stops a motor
vehicle for an alleged violation of a law or ordinance
III. TRAINING
A. Officers are responsible to adhere to all Texas Commission of Law
Enforcement Officer Standards and Education (TCLEOSE) training and
1
the Law Enforcement Management Institute of Texas (LEMIT)
requirements as mandated by law.
B. All officers shall complete a TCLEOSE training and education program
on racial profiling not later than the second anniversary of the date the
officer is Iicensed under Chapter 1701 of the Texas Occupations Code or
the date the officer applies for an intermediate proficiency certificate,
whichever date is earlier. A person who on September 1, 2001, held a
TCLEOSE intermediate proficiency certificate, or who had held a peace
officer license issued by TCLEOSE for at least two years, shall complete a
TCLEOSE training and education program on racial profiling not later

Act shall complete the program on racial profiling established under
Subsection (j), Section 96.641, Education Code, as added by this Act, not
later than September 1, 2003.
* .
A. The department shall accept complaints from any person who believes he
or she has been stopped or searched based on racial, ethnic or national
origin profiling.
B. No person shall be discouraged, intimidated or coerced from filing a
complaint, nor discriminated against because he or she filed such a
complaint.
C. Any person who receives an allegation of racial profiling, including the
officer who initiated the stop, shall record the person's name, address and
telephone number, and forward the complaint through the appropriate
channels or direct the individual(s). Any employee contacted shall
provide to that person instructions on the complaint process and will
report any allegation of racial profiling to their superior before the end of
shift.
D. Investigation of a complaint shall be conducted in a thorough and timely
manner. All complaints will be acknowledged in writing to the initiator
who will receive disposition regarding said complaint within a reasonable
time period. The investigation shall be reduced to writing and any
reviewer's comments or conclusions shall be filed with the Chief. When
applicable, findings and/or suggestions for disciplinary action, retaining or
changes in policy shall be filed with the Chief.
E. If a racial profiling complaint is sustained against an officer, it will result
in appropriate corrective and/or disciplinary action, up to and including
termination.
F. If there is a departmental video or audio recording the events upon which
a complaint of racial profiling is based, upon commencement of an
investigation by this department into the complaint and written request of
the officer made the subject of the complaint, this department shall
promptly provide a copy of the recording to that officer.
VI. PUBLIC EDUCATION
This department will inform the public of its policy against racial profiling and
the complaintprocess. Methods that maybe utilized to inform the public are the
p
news media, radio, service, or civic presentations, the internet, as well as
governing board meetings. Additionally, information will be made available as
appropriate in languages other than English.
VII. DATA COLLECTION

Complaint Process: Informing the
Public and Addressing Allegations
of Racial Profiling Practices
Informing the Public on the Process of Filing a Racial Profiling Complaint
with the Wylie Police Department
The Texas Racial Profiling Law requires that police agencies provide information
to the public regarding the manner in which to file a racial profiling complaint. In an
effort to comply with this particular component, the Wylie Police Department launched
an educational campaign aimed at informing the public on issues relevant to the racial
profiling complaint process.
The police department made available, in the lobby area, information relevant to
filing a complaint on a racial profiling violation by a Wylie Police officer. It is believed
that through these efforts, the community has been properly informed of the new policies
and the complaint processes relevant to racial profiling.
Racial Profiling Training

Racial Profiling Training
Since 2002, all Wylie Police officers have been instructed, as specified in the
Texas Racial Profiling Law, to adhere to all Texas Commission on Law Enforcement
Officer Standards and Education (TCLEOSE) training and the Law Enforcement
Management Institute of Texas (LEMIT) requirements. To date, all sworn officers of the
Wylie Police Department have completed the TCLEOSE basic training on racial
profiling. The main outline used to train the officers of Wylie has been included in this
JI report.
It is important to recognize that the Chief of the Wylie Police Department has also
met the training requirements, as specified by the Texas Racial Profiling Law, in the
completion of the LEMIT program on racial profiling. The satisfactory completion of the
racial profiling training by the sworn personnel of the Wylie Police Department fulfills
the training requirement as specified in the Education Code (96.641) of the Texas Racial
Profiling Law.

2.0 RACIAL PROFILING AND THE COMMUNITY
2.1 UNIT GOAL: The student will be able to identify logical and social
arguments against racial profiling.
2.1.1 LEARNING OBJECTIVE: The student will be able to identify logical
and social arguments against racial profiling.
A. There are appropriate reasons for unusual traffic stops (suspicious behavior,
the officer's intuition, MOs, etc.), but police work must stop short of cultural
stereotyping and racism
B. Racial profiling would result in criminal arrests, but only because it would
target all members of a race randomly—the minor benefits would be far
outweighed by the distrust and anger towards law enforcement by minorities and
the public as a whole
C. Racial profiling is self-fulfilling bad logic: if you believed that minorities
committed more crimes, then you might look for more minority criminals, and find
them in disproportionate numbers
D. Inappropriate traffic stops generate suspicion and antagonism towards officers
and make future stops more volatile — a racially-based stop today can throw
suspicion on tomorrow's legitimate stop
E. By focusing on race, you would not only be harassing innocent citizens, but
overlooking criminals of all races and backgrounds— it is a waste of law
enforcement resources
3.0 RACIAL PROFILING VERSUS REASONABLE SUSPICION
3.1 UNIT GOAL: The student will be able to identify the elements of both
inappropriate and appropriate traffic stops.
3.1.1 LEARNING OBJECTIVE: The student will be able to identify elements
of a racially motivated traffic stop.
A. Most race-based complaints come from vehicle stops, often since race is used
as an inappropriate substitute for drug courier profile elements
B. "DWB" — "Driving While Black" — a nickname for the public perception that a
Black person may be stopped solely because of their race (especially with the
suspicion that they are a drug
courier), often extended to other minority groups or activities as well ("Driving
While Brown," "Flying While Black," etc.)
C. A typical traffic stop resulting from racial profiling
1. The vehicle is stopped on the basis of a minor or contrived traffic violation
which is used as a pretext for closer inspection of the vehicle, driver, and
passengers
2. The driver and passengers are questioned about things that do not relate to
the traffic violation
3. The driver and passengers are ordered out of the vehicle
4. The officers visually check all observable parts of the vehicle
5. The officers proceed on the assumption that drug courier work is involved by
detaining the driver and passengers by the roadside
6. The driver is asked to consent to a vehicle search — if the driver refuses, the
officers use other procedures (waiting on a canine unit, criminal record checks,
license-plate checks, etc.), and intimidate the driver(with the threat of detaining
him/her, obtaining a warrant, etc.)
3.1.2 LEARNING OBJECTIVE: The student will be able to identify elements
of a traffic stop which would constitute reasonable suspicion of drug
courier activity.
A. Drug courier profile (adapted from a profile developed by the DEA)
1. Driver is nervous or anxious beyond the ordinary anxiety and cultural
communication styles
2. Signs of long-term driving (driver is unshaven, has empty food containers, etc.)
3. Vehicle is rented
4. Driver is a young male, 20-35
5. No visible luggage, even though driver is traveling
6. Driver was over-reckless or over-cautious in driving and responding to signals
7. Use of air fresheners
B. Drug courier activity indicators by themselves are usually not sufficient to
justify a stop
3.1.3 LEARNING OBJECTIVE: The student will be able to identify elements
of a traffic stop which could constitute reasonable suspicion of criminal
activity.
A. Thinking about the totality of circumstances in a vehicle stop
B. Vehicle exterior
1. Non-standard repainting (esp. on a new vehicle)
2. Signs of hidden cargo (heavy weight in trunk, windows do not roll down, etc.)
3. Unusual license plate suggesting a switch (dirty plate, bugs on back plate,
etc.)
4. Unusual circumstances (pulling a camper at night, kids' bikes with no kids,
etc.)
C. Pre-stop indicators
1. Not consistent with traffic flow
2. Driver is overly cautious, or driver/passengers repeatedly look at police car
3. Driver begins using a car- or cell-phone when signaled to stop
4. Unusual pull-over behavior (ignores signals, hesitates, pulls onto new street,
moves objects in car, etc.)
D. Vehicle interior
1. Rear seat or interior panels have been opened, there are tools or spare tire,
etc.
2. Inconsistent items (anti-theft club with a rental, unexpected luggage, etc.)

Analysis and Interpretation of Data
Analysis
In 2001, the Texas Legislature passed Senate Bill 1074 which later became the
Texas Racial Profiling Law. The law came into effect on January 1, 2002 and required
that all police departments in Texas collect traffic-related data and report this information
to their local governing authority by March 1st of each year. Recently, this was changed
to all motor vehicle related contacts where a citation was issued or arrest made. In
addition, the law requires that all police officers indicate whether or not they knew the
race or ethnicity of the individual before detaining them. Further, the new law requires
that agencies report motor vehicle related data to their local governing authority and the
Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Education (TCLEOSE)
by March 1st of each year. The purpose in collecting and presenting this information is
to determine if police officers in a particular municipality are engaging in the practice of
profiling minority motorists.
In addition, the Texas Racial Profiling Law requires police departments to
interpret motor vehicle-related data. Even though most researchers would probably agree
with the fact that it is within the confines of good practice for police departments to be
accountable to the citizenry while carrying a transparent image before the community, it
is very difficult to determine if police departments are engaging in racial profiling, from a
review or analysis of aggregate data. In other words, it is challenging for a reputable
researcher to identify specific"individual" racist behavior from aggregate-level
"institutional" data on traffic or motor vehicle-related contacts.
During the past legislative session, the Texas Legislature passed House Bill 3389
which modified the existing Racial Profiling Law by adding new requirements; this took
effect on January 1st, 2010. These new changes include, but are not exclusive of, the re-
definition of a contact to include motor vehicles where a citation was issued or an arrest
made. In addition, it requires police officers to indicate if they knew the race or ethnicity
of the individual before detaining them. Also, the new law requires adding "middle
eastern" to the racial and ethnic category and submitting the annual traffic data report to
TCLEOSE before March 1st of each year, starting this year. I am pleased to inform you
that these new requirements have been addressed by the Wylie Police Department as it is
demonstrated throughout this report.
The Wylie Police Department, in an effort to comply with The Texas Racial
Profiling Law, commissioned the analysis of its 2010 traffic contact data. Thus, three
different types of data analyses were performed. The first of these involved a careful
evaluation of the 2010 motor vehicle-related data. This particular analysis measured, as
required bythe law, the number and percentage of Caucasians,q
cas ans African Americans
,
Hispanics, Asians, Native Americans, Middle Easterners and individuals belonging to the
"other" category, that came in contact with the police in the course of a motor vehicle
related stop, and were either issued a citation or arrested. Further, the analysis included
information relevant to the number and percentage of searches (table 1) while indicating
the type of search performed (i.e., consensual or probable cause). Also, the data analysis
included the number and percentage of individuals who, after they came in contact with
the police for a traffic-related reason, were arrested.
The additional data analysis performed was based on a comparison of the 2010
traffic-contact data with a specific baseline. When reviewing this particular analysis, it
should be noted that there is disagreement, in the literature, regarding the appropriate
baseline to be used when analyzing traffic-related contact information. Of the baseline
measures available, the Wylie Police Department opted to adopt, as a baseline measure,
the Fair Roads Standard. This particular baseline is based on data obtained through the
L.I.S. Census Bureau (2000) relevant to the number of households that have access to
vehicles while controlling for the race and ethnicity of the heads of households.
It is clear that census data presents challenges to any effort made at establishing a
fair and accurate racial profiling analysis. That is, census data contains information on all
residents of a particular community, regardless of the fact they may or may not be among
the driving population. Further, census data, when used as a baseline of comparison,
presents the challenge that it captures information related to city residents only. Thus,
excluding individuals who may have come in contact with the Wylie Police Department
in 2010 but live outside city limits. In some cases, the percentage of the population that
comes in contact with the police but lives outside city limits represents a substantial
volume of all motor vehicle-related contacts made in a given year.
Throughout the years, several civil rights groups in Texas have expressed their
desire and made recommendations to the effect that all police departments should rely, in
their data analysis, on the Fair Roads Standard. This source contains census data specific
to the number of"households" that have access to vehicles. Thus, proposing to compare
"households" (which may have multiple residents and only a few vehicles) with
"contacts" (an individual-based count). This, in essence, constitutes a comparison that
may result in ecological fallacy. Despite this, the Wylie Police Department made a
decision that it would use this form of comparison (i.e., census data relevant to
households with vehicles) in an attempt to demonstrate its "good will" and
"transparency" before the community. Thus, the Fair Roads Standard data obtained and
used in this study is specifically relevant to Wylie. Unfortunately, the data being used for
comparative purposes in from the previous census as the most recent census data was not
available. It is expected that the new and more recent census data will be used in future
reports.
The final analysis was conducted while using the 2002--2009 traffic contact data
and the 2010 motor-vehicle related data. Specifically, all traffic-related contacts made in
2009 were compared to similar figures reported in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007
and 2008. However, these were not compared to the 2010 motor vehicle contacts as
these differ in nature, from those collected in previous years. Although some researchers
may not support the notion that in eight years, a "significant" and "permanent"trend can
take effect, when considering this analysis, it was determined that comparing eight years
of traffic contact data may highlight possible areas of consistency with regards to traffic-
related contacts. That is, the eight-year comparison has the potential of revealing
I '
indicators that a possible trend of traffic-based contacts with regards to members of a
specific minority group, may in fact, develop.
Tier 1 (2010) Motor Vehicle-Related Contact Analysis
When analyzing the Tier 1 data collected in 2010, it was evident that most motor
vehicle-related contacts were made with Caucasian drivers. This was followed by
Hispanic and African American drivers. With respect to searches, most of them were
performed on Caucasian drivers. This was also followed by Hispanics and African
Americans. It is important to note that the arrest data revealed that Caucasian drivers
were arrested the most in motor vehicle-related contacts; this was followed by Hispanics
and African Americans. In addition, no arrests were made, in motor vehicle related
incidents, of Native American drivers.
Fair Roads Standard Analysis
The data analysis of motor vehicle contacts to the census data relevant to the
number of"households" in Wylie who indicated, in the 2000 census, that they had access
to vehicles, produced interesting findings. Specifically, the percentage of individuals of
African American, Hispanic and Asian descent that came in contact with the police was
higher than the percentage of African American, Hispanic and Asian households in Wylie
that claimed, in the 2000 census, to have access to vehicles. With respect to Caucasians
and Native Americans, a lower percentage of contacts were detected. That is, the
percentage of Caucasian and Native Americans drivers that came in contact with the
police in 2010 was lower than the percentage of Caucasian and Native American
households in Wylie with access to vehicles.
Eight-Year Comparison
The eight-year comparison (02-09) of traffic-contact data showed some
similarities. As illustrated in table 3, the percentage of drivers (from different
racial/ethnic groups) that came in contact with the Wylie Police in 2009 was similar to
the percentage of drivers, from the same racial/ethnic groups that came in contact with
the Wylie Police Department in 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003 and 2002.
However, a few differences were noted. When comparing 2009 to the previous years,
there was an increase in percentage of contacts among Caucasian drivers. A decrease in
percentage was detected among Hispanics.
It is clear that commonalities in the data existed, when analyzing the search-
related contacts for all eight years. An increase in percentage was detected among
Caucasians while a percentage decrease was noted among African Americans and
Hispanics. When considering the arrests made, the data revealed that the percentage of
arrests increased among African Americans while a decrease in percentage was evident
among Caucasians and Hispanics. It is expected that the 2010 contact data collected will
be compared to the motor vehicle related data collected in the near future. The rationale
here is that comparing traffic related data collected in previous years with motor vehicle
related data collected in 2010, would not be statistically sound as these originate from
different circumstances.
Summary of Findings
The comparison of motor vehicle contacts showed that the Wylie Police
Department came in contact (in motor vehicle-related incidents) with a smaller
percentage of Caucasian and Native American drivers than the percentage that resided in
Wylie and had access to vehicles. Further, the data suggested that the percentage of
African American, Hispanic and Asian drivers that came in contact with the police in
2010 was higher than the percentage of African American, Hispanic and Asian
households in Wylie with access to vehicles. In addition, the data showed that the race or
ethnicity of a large number of individuals who were detained was not known to the police
prior to their detention; when compared to those whose race or ethnicity was known
before being detained.
A careful examination of the eight-year traffic-related contact data suggested that
the Wylie Police Department has been, for the most part, consistent in the racial/ethnic
composition of motorists it comes in contact with during a given year. The consistency of
contacts for the past 8 years is in place despite the fact the city demographics may have
changed, thus, increasing the number of subjects likely to come in contact with the
police.
While considering the findings made in this analysis, it is recommended that the
Wylie Police Department should continue to collect and evaluate additional information
on motor vehicle contact data(i.e., reason for probable cause searches, contraband
detected) which may prove to be useful when determining the nature of the contacts
police officers are making with all individuals; particularly with African Americans and
Hispanics. Although this additional data may not be required by state law, it is likely to
provide insights regarding the nature and outcome of all motor vehicle contacts made
with the public. As part of this effort, the Wylie Police Department is also encouraged to:
1) Perform an independent search analysis on the search data collected in the
first quarter of 2011.
2) Commission at least one data audit in 2011 in order to assess data
integrity; that is, to ensure that the data collected is consistent with the
data being reported.
It should be noted that the Wylie Police Department complied with the
recommendations made in last year's report. The information and analysis provided in
this report serves as evidence that the Wylie Police Department has, once again, complied
with the Texas Racial Profiling Law.

Election Calendar
For a City's General Election on May 14, 2011
This calendar indicates the dates for actions necessary in a general election of city officers to be
held on May 14, 2011. It includes all major actions for which the Election Code prescribes a
specific date or deadline for performance, but it does not include all actions (e.g., preparation of
ballot boxes and other election equipment and of sets of precinct election forms) for which the
beginning date for performance can vary from one city to another depending on local factors. Each
city secretary should use the chart in M §9.02 of the Texas Municipal Election Law Manual in
conjunction with this calendar to fill in those dates on the city secretary's personal election calendar
created in accordance with local conditions [see M §9.03]. The city secretary's personal calendar
should also reflect dates that the city secretary prefers in place of the discretionary dates
recommended in this calendar.
Column 5 indicates the time interval between the date of the action and election day. For
example, the notation "53rd" in the entry for March 22 means that the last day for a candidate to
withdraw is the 53ra day before election day; the notation "+5" in the entry for May 19 means that
the last day for receiving a ballot from outside the United States is the 5`'day after election day.
When there is a statutory provision prescribing the last day for the performance of an act.the
number in Column 5 reflects that day. If the statutory day must be moved because of a Saturday,
Sunday,or state or national holiday,the resulting date is designated in Columns 1 and 2 and Column
5 indicates, in parentheses and italics,the actual number of days measured from election day.
In preparing a personal calendar,the city secretary should remember the rule in EC §1.006 that
if the last day for performance of an action falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or a state or national
holiday, the deadline date is usually extended to the next regular business day whether the day is a
city holiday or not[see M §2.16(a)]. When a deadline is extended for this reason,the extended date
is used for determining other dates that are calculated in relation to the event of the extended date.
Exceptions are noted in this calendar.
Major stens are in ALL CAPS. Steps for early voting are in ITALICS.

CITY OF WYLIE AGENDA REPORT
Meeting Date: February 8, 2011 _ Item Number: F.
Department: Planning (City Secretary's Use Only)
Prepared By: Renae' 011ie Account Code:
Date Prepared: January 21, 2011 Budgeted Amount:
Exhibits: 1
Subject
Consider, and act upon, approval of a Replat for Zlan Corner Addition, Block A, Lot 2R, combining two
commercial lots into one on 1.814 acres and dedicating fire lane and access easements. The property is
generally located on the northeast corner of Country Club Road (FM 1378) and W. Brown Street(FM 3412).
Recommendation
Motion to approve a Replat for Zlan Corner Addition, Block A, Lot 2R, combining two commercial lots into
one on 1.814 acres and dedicating fire lane and access easements. The property is generally located on the
northeast corner of Country Club Road (FM 1378) and W. Brown Street (FM 3412).
Discussion
Platted in July 2005, Zlan Corner Addition consisted of four (4) commercial lots on nine (9) acres located at the
northeast corner of Country Club Boulevard and West Brown Street.
This replat proposes to combine Lots 2 & 3 into one lot to accommodate development of retail and other
commercial uses on the property. Therefore, Lot 2R will consist of 1.814 acres and provide for cross access
easements on the property. A corresponding site plan was approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission
on January 18, 2011 as the previous site plan expired May 2009.
The Replat complies with all applicable technical requirements of the City of Wylie.
Planning Commission voted 6-0 to recommend conditional approval of the replat.

CITY OF WYLIE AGENDA REPORT
Meeting Date: February 8, 2011 Item Number: 1.
Department: City Manager (City Secretary's Use Only)
Prepared By: Mindy Manson Account Code: N/A
Date Prepared: February 2, 2011 Budgeted Amount: N/A
Exhibits: 3
Subject
Consider and act upon Resolution No. 2011-03(R) suspending the February 14, 2011, effective date of Oncor
Electric Delivery Company's requested rate change to permit the city time to study the request and to establish
reasonable rates; approving cooperation with the steering committee of cities served by Oncor to hire legal and
consulting services and to negotiate with the company and direct any necessary litigation and appeals; 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 for the steering committee.
Recommendation
Motion to approve Resolution No. 2011-03(R) suspending the February 14, 2011, effective date of Oncor
Electric Delivery Company's requested rate change to permit the city time to study the request and to establish
reasonable rates; approving cooperation with the steering committee of cities served by Oncor to hire legal and
consulting services and to negotiate with the company and direct any necessary litigation and appeals; 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 for the steering committee.
Discussion
Oncor Electric Delivery Company ("Oncor" or "the Company") filed an application on or about January 7, 2011
with cities retaining original jurisdiction seeking to increase system-wide transmission and distribution rates by
$353 million. The Company asks the City to approve a 14.6% increase in residential rates, a 15.5% increase in
commercial rates, and a 25.9% increase in street lighting rates. According to Oncor, annual rates would
increase by approximately $60 for an average residential customer.
The resolution suspends the February 14, 2011 effective date of the Company's rate increase for the maximum
period permitted by law to allow the City, working in conjunction with the Steering Committee of Cities Served
by Oncor, to evaluate the filing, determine whether the filing complies with law, and if lawful, to determine
what further strategy, including settlement, to pursue.
The law provides that a rate request made by an electric utility cannot become effective until at least 35 days
following the filing of the application to change rates. The law permits the City to suspend the rate change for
90 days after the date the rate change would otherwise be effective. If the City fails to take some action
regarding the filing before the effective date, Oncor's rate request is deemed administratively approved.
The City of Wylie is a member of a 146-city coalition known as the Steering Committee of Cities Served by
Page 1 of 2
Page 2 of 2
Oncor("Steering Committee"). The Steering Committee has been in existence since the late 1980s. It took on a
formal structure in the early 1990s when cities served by the former TXU gave up their statutory right to rate
case expense reimbursement in exchange for higher franchise fee payments. Empowered by city resolutions
and funded by per capita assessments, the Steering Committee has been the primary public interest advocate
before the Public Utility Commission, the Courts, and the Legislature on electric utility regulation matters for
the last 20 years.
The current filing comes 15 months following the implementation of Oncor's last rate increase. That case is
currently on appeal.
Explanation of"Be It Resolved" Paragraphs:
Section 1. The City is authorized to suspend the rate change for 90 days after the date that the rate
change would otherwise be effective for any legitimate purpose. Time to study and investigate the application
is always a legitimate purpose. Please note that the resolution refers to the suspension period as "the maximum
period allowed by law" rather than ending by a specific date. This is because the Company controls the
effective date and can extend the deadline for final city action to increase the time that the City retains
jurisdiction if necessary to reach settlement on the case. If the suspension period is not otherwise extended by
the Company, the City must take final action on Oncor's request to raise rates by February 14, 2011.
Section 2. This provision authorizes the Steering Committee, consistent with the City's resolution
approving membership in the Steering Committee, to act on behalf of the City at the local level in settlement
discussions, in preparation of a rate ordinance, on appeal of the rate ordinance to the PUC, and on appeal to the
Courts. Negotiating clout and efficiency are enhanced by the City cooperating with the Steering Committee in a
common review and common purpose. Additionally, rate case expenses are minimized when the Steering
Committee hires one set of attorneys and experts who work under the guidance and control of the Executive
Committee of the Steering Committee.
Section 3. The Company will reimburse the Steering Committee for its reasonable rate case expenses.
Legal counsel and consultants approved by the Executive Committee of the Steering Committee will submit
monthly invoices that will be forwarded to Oncor for reimbursement. No individual city incurs liability for
payment of rate case expenses by adopting a suspension resolution.
Section 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.
Section 5. This section provides that both Oncor and Steering Committee counsel will be notified of the
City's action by sending a copy of the approved and signed resolution to certain designated individuals.

2011 Rate Review Overview
NC R
Oncor's electric delivery rates are the lowest in the state among
investor-owned utilities, because we work hard to avoid or mitigate the
need for an increase. We continue to be forward-thinking, innovative
and diligent in managing our costs. in 2010, we efficiently controlled
base operating costs at or below 2004 levels.
This rate review includes a request for an annual increase of
approximately $350 million due to:
$2 billion in additional investments in the transmission and
distribution system since the beginning of 2008, both to make
system improvements to aging infrastructure and to serve new
customers in our service area and
Increased costs related to storm restoration, pension and health
care.
If approved, the typical residential customer who uses 1 ,300 kilowatt-
hours (kWh) of electricity per month and has a retail electric plan
charging 10 cents per kWh would pay 10.4 cents per kWh, or about $5
more per month with the same rate plan. 2
Providing Reliable Service at Low Rates
N5R
Even at the requested rate, customers in our service area will still pay
among the lowest electric delivery rates in the state.

Discussion
The Texas Department of Transportation has indicated that they would be receptive to releasing ownership of
FM 2514 (Ballard Avenue) from Brown Street to SH 78 to the City. Ownership of the roadway would allow for
greater flexibility for future improvements, however, the City would assume all future maintenance and
reconstruction cost. The projected 20 year maintenance cost is $407,000.

CITY OF WYLIE AGENDA REPORT

Division: Parks and Recreation (City Secretary's Use Only)
Prepared By: Robert Diaz Account Code:
Date Prepared: January 3, 2011 Budgeted Amount: N/A
Exhibits: I
Subject
Consider, and act upon, approving amendments to the Parks and Recreation Board Bylaws.
Recommendation
Motion to approve the proposed amendments to the Parks and Recreation Board Bylaws.
Discussion
To establish a procedure for Board members to place items on the agenda, staff has reviewed City Council and
Planning and Zoning Commission agenda item submission procedures and has provided a revision to the
Bylaws reflecting proposed changes.
In addition, while reviewing our current Board Bylaws we found an inconsistency in the Board's name and
propose the following correction to Section 4.
The following sections are the current Bylaws:
Section 4. Ali questions presented for a vote of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board shall
be decided by a simple majority of the quorum, including the vote of the Chair.
Article III Officers, Section 4 Duties of Officers, Paragraph (a)Chair, Item(iv)
Assist Parks and Recreation staff in establishing the agenda for each meeting. Agenda
items requested by any Board Member will be included.
Article III Officers, Section 4 Duties of Officers, Paragraph (c)Secretary, Item (ii)
The Staff Liaison will be responsible for producing the agenda and distributing the agenda
and minutes to the Parks and Recreation Board and City Manager. An official record of
attendance will be kept in the minutes.
The following sections are the proposed revised Bylaws:
Section 4. All questions presented for a vote of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board shall
be decided by a simple majority of the quorum, including the vote of the Chair.
Article III Officers, Section 4 Duties of Officers, Paragraph (a)Chair, Item (iv)
Assist Parks and Recreation staff in establishing the agenda for each meeting.

Agenda items can be requested by the Chair at least one week prior to the
scheduled meeting. Agenda items requested by any single Board Member will need
to be submitted and approved by the Chair first prior to being submitted to the staff
liaison. Any two Board Members (not including the Chair) can submit an item to the
staff liaison to be placed on the Board Agenda at least one week prior to the
scheduled meeting. Agenda items submitted must be made in writing to the staff
liaison.
(Keep in mind that staff will need sufficient time to properly research agenda items before they
are placed on an agenda.)
Article Ill Officers, Section 4 Duties of Officers, Paragraph (c)Secretary, Item (ii)
The Staff Liaison will be responsible for producing the agenda and distributing the agenda
and minutes to the Parks and Recreation Board and City Manager. An official record of
attendance will be kept in the minutes. A yearly calendar of monthly meetings will be
approved by the Board at the regular December meeting prior to the next calendar
year on an annual basis.
At the Parks and Recreation Regular Board meeting held on December 20, 2010 the Board approved the
changes to the Bylaws proposed by staff. The changes will now need to be reviewed and considered by the City
Council.
