The Mayor convened into Work Session at 6:00 p.m.
WORK SESSION
• Discussion on authorizing the City Manager to enter into a contract between the City of Wylie,the Town
of St.Paul,and Baron Cook for the provision of sewer services.
City Manager, Biff Johnson provided a brief background on the history of the contract for provision of
sewer services. He stated that in May of 1999, Council had authorized the City Manager to execute an
agreement, however, there were some issues that needed to be clarified prior to proceeding with the
agreement. The issue specifically deals with the Council's intent with regard to provision of sewer
service outside of the city limits. Mr. Baron Cook was also present and explained to Council what he
understood the intent of the agreement to be,which was to provide sewer to 165 acres.
Mr. Cook stated that he has since been approached by the Wylie Independent School District with
regard to an approximate 40 acres tract of land for the proposed Junior High/Intermediate School site.
Mr. Cooks' concerns were that if Council was reconsidering the motion to provide sewer to the 165-acre
site and he proceeds with the school land purchase, would the city still provide sewer to the school and
the remaining'A acre lots. He stated that if the school purchased the land, he would lose approximately
60 acres.
There was considerable discussion on the basis for which Council approved the motion made in May of
1999. The minutes reflect only that an agreement was made to provide sewer services, however, some
remembered that there was discussion on the lot size (3/4 acre lots) which contributed to Council's
decision to approve the agreement. Mr. Cook stated that with 34 acre lots,he would have approximately
153 lots and with '/2 acre lots he would have 210 lots and if he sells to the WISD, approximately 150
lots, or the same density. Mr. Cook felt that what Council approved was the provision of sewer to the
165-acre tract,not the lot size and that the reason for discussion is due to the possibility of the purchase
by the WISD for a future school site.
Mr. Johnson concluded that after direction from Council,he would discuss further with Mr. Cook.
The Mayor then reconvened into Regular Session at 7:00 p.m.

Issue
Consider and act upon an Ordinance adopting the 2000 Edition of the Uniform Mechanical Code,
repealing Ordinance numbers 93-23 and 88-32 and repealing all conflicting ordinances.
Background
The Mechanical Code currently adopted by the City of Wylie is the 1994 Uniform Mechanical Code.
The 2000 Uniform Mechanical Code has been in publication for approximately one year. The Code is
updated every 3 years by way of annual code hearings held on a national level. The purpose of the code
hearings is to incorporate changes in construction methods and materials into the code that occur as the
result of new technology and information. The City of Wylie's currently adopted mechanical code is
obviously out of date. Because of this, our insurance ranking that will be assigned by the ISO may be
lower if we do not adopt a more current nationally recognized mechanical code.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 3 ,
March 13, 2001
Issue
Consider and act upon an Ordinance adopting the 1999 Edition of the National Electrical Code,
repealing Ordinance number 94-53 and repealing all conflicting ordinances.
Background
The Electrical Code currently adopted by the City of Wylie is the 1993 National Electrical Code. The
1999 National Electrical Code has been in publication for approximately two years. The Code is updated
every 3 years by way of annual code hearings held on a national level. The purpose of the code hearings
is to incorporate changes in construction methods and materials into the code that occur as the result
of new technology and information. The North Central Texas Council of Governments recommended
to cities in the North Central Texas region that those cities adopt the 1999 National Electrical Code
effective January 1, 2000 with certain amendments. The City of Wylie's currently adopted electrical
code is obviously out of date. Since we are currently out of date with our adopted electrical code, our
insurance ranking that will be assigned by the ISO will be lower if we do not adopt a more current
nationally recognized electrical code.

AGENDA ITEM NO.
March 13, 2001
Issue
Consider and act upon an Ordinance adopting a new Section 2.00 "Construction Permits and Fees" of
Appendix C of the City of Wylie Code of Ordinances and repealing all conflicting ordinances.
Background
1. New procedures will require 10 inspections on all single-family dwellings. Since it is quite
common for more than one inspection to be done in order for each of the 10 required inspections
to pass, staff estimates that we will do an average of 18 inspections per house. We currently
charge $50.00 for a reinspection fee. Based on an average cost of$50.00 for each inspection,
the cost to inspect a single-family dwelling will be approximately $900.00. We currently charge
$420.00 plus ten cents a square foot for each house permit. A 2500 square foot house would
incur a permit fee of $670.00. The fee is too low to pay the cost of the services we are
providing. Staff proposes that the fees for single-family dwellings be increased to $650.00 plus
ten cents a square foot to allow us to recover our costs.
2. Permits for in-ground swimming pools are currently $125.00 per pool. We are performing 5
different inspections for each pool. Staff estimates that we make an average of 8 trips to each
job before the pool receives final inspection approval. The cost to the City is less for each pool
inspection because the time required to perform the inspection is much less that the time required
to perform a single-family dwelling inspection. Staff proposes that we increase the pei alit fees
for swimming pools to $300.00 per permit. The average cost of a swimming pool is
approximately $20,000. The permit fee increase from $125 to $300 is less than 1% of the cost
of the swimming pool and will allow the City to recover the costs of the inspection and plan
review services we are providing.
3. Permits for Multi-Family Construction is based on value. It is difficult to determine if the
contractor places the correct construction value on the project. Additionally, inspection time is
not affected by the value of the project. Inspection time is based on the size of the building and
the number of dwelling units. Inspections for this type of construction are very time intensive.
Staff proposes that we modify the fee for multi-family construction to charge a fee of$250.00
per multi-family unit.
4. The permit fees for commercial construction are based on value. Unfortunately, we have
experienced situations where contractors have placed false low values on a project in order to
reduce the permit cost. Additionally, as stated above, the time we spend inspecting projects is
not affected by the cost of the carpet or paint that is used in the building. However, our time is
affected by the size of the building. Basing the permit cost on the size of the building removes
the uncertainty of what to charge for the permit fee and allows us to properly charge for the time
we will spend inspecting that project. Contractors are unable to claim that the building is smaller
than it actually is in order to reduce permit costs. Establishing the fee for commercial permits
as outlined in the attachment would simplify the current commercial fee structure and remove
doubts concerning whether the proper fees were calculated and charged.
5. We currently require all plumbing, irrigation and mechanical contractors to register with us.
Registration fees are currently $75.00 per year. We do not require general contractors, pool
contractors or backflow testers to register or pay a registration fee. Many area cities have
increased their registration fees from $75.00 per year to $100.00 per year. The proposed

• Internal drives will be private and maintained by the owner, but are dedicated as access and utility
easements in order to be always accessible to emergency vehicles, utility maintenance and service
personnel and solid waste collections.
Board/Commission Recommendations

Background
This Interlocal Cooperation Agreement replaces an existing agreement signed by the City on February
8, 2000. The County renews the Interlocal Agreements annually. The Agreement will allow Collin
County to continue participation in road and bridge maintenance/improvement projects within the
corporate limits of Wylie. The county may assist with general maintenance activities such as the grading,
rocking, asphalt level up, seal coating, installation of culverts, cleaning of drainage ditches, mowing or
brush cutting, emergency repairs to bridges, and oiling for dust control.
All requests for work in the City of Wylie must be submitted to the Collin County Director of Public
Services & Operations by April 1st of the year prior to the year improvements are desired to be made.
Emergency requests will be evaluated by the Commissioners' Court, and authorization for work can only
be given by the Commissioners' Court.
By authorizing the City Manager to execute the proposed Interlocal Cooperation Agreement, the City
Council will make it possible to coordinate road and bridge maintenance/improvements within the Wylie
City limits in conjunction with Collin County, Texas.
Under the current Interlocal Agreement, the County performed maintenance to Hensley Lane from the
Service Center to Hooper and Alanis from South Ballard to the site of the closed landfill. In addition,
County forces also replaced the culverts in Stone Road at Rush Creek.
Financial Considerations
As consideration for the services and functions provided by Collin County as part of this Interlocal
Cooperation Agreement, the City of Wylie agrees to pay Collin County in accordance with the advance
cost estimate submitted to them for work requested by the City of Wylie in the amount and upon the
following terms and conditions:

2) Payment to equal reimbursement in full for labor, equipment, and material expended by Collin
County.
Each party agrees to defend and indemnify the other from any claims, demands, costs or judgments
arising out of any negligent act or omission of their respective employees or agents in the performance
of the functions and/or services provided under this agreement.
Other Considerations
Article II, Section 1C of the City Charter gives the City Council authority to cooperate with other
governments (County, City or political subdivision) for any lawful purpose for the advancement of
interests, safety, convenience and welfare of its inhabitants

WYLIE CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA ITEM NO. \4.
March 13, 2001
Issue
Consider and act upon the acceptance of U.S. department of Justice (COPS in Schools) Grant award.
Background
The U.S. Department of Justice has offered to award the City of Wylie a COPS in Schools grant which
will pay the salary and benefits of a police officer assigned to a school. The grant pays up to $125,000
in officer salary and benefits for a three year time period. The grant pays for 100% of the officer's salary
and benefits until the funds are expended. The grant requires the creation of a new peace officer position.
The new position must be funded and maintained by the City for the (three year) grant period and for
one year after the grant has expired. The grant money may be used to pay the salary of an existing officer
and a new officer may be hired to replace the officer placed on the grant.
Financial Considerations
The Department of Justice will reimburse The City of Wylie for the salary and benefits of one officer up
to $125,000. This amount will pay for 100% of the salary and benefits of one officer for 2.5 years. The
three year salary/benefit cost of one officer is approximately $150,000.
If we anticipate adding an additional officer to the Police Department during the next three years then
this grant will be a cost-effective way to do it.
Other Considerations
If approved this grant would be used to fund a School Resource Officer that could eventually be the
SRO at the second Jr. High School. Until the second Jr. High comes on line this officer can be trained
and utilized by filling in at the Jr. High and High School on a part time basis and can work patrol the
remainder of the time. The Department of Justice COPS office is attempting to expend all funding from
the last budget cycle, funding for this type of grant may be greatly reduced in future budget cycles.
Board/Commission Recommendations
Staff Recommendations
Authorize the City Manager to accept the Cops in Schools Grant Award.

Authorization to create the position of Public Information Officer.
Background
As a result of the growth in population and activity in the City and the need to inform the citizens in
a timely and well-coordinated manner, the City Council has requested an upgrade in customer service
in the area of public relations. The best resolution to this request is the creation of a new position
entitled Public Information Officer. The City Manager is requesting authorization from the City
Council to create this position effective April 1, 2001.
The Public Information Officer will work as the liaison between the City organization and the Wylie
Economic Development Corporation, the Chamber of Commerce, W.I.S.D., the Wylie business
community and other community affairs organizations, as well as be responsible for public relations
and publicity relative to the City and community activities. In addition,this position will be responsible
for promoting community awareness, the preparation of the City newsletter and press releases, and
researching and writing grants.
Financial Considerations
The Public Information Officer position will be funded entirely in the General Fund and approximately
$32,500 will be required to fund the position for the remaining six months of FY2001. This includes
the cost of salary and benefits as well as other expenses,including the items necessary to set up a new
office. The General Fund will realize a savings of about$10,000 as a result of the elimination of one
part-time position at the Community Center. These duties will be assigned to a position funded through
the 4B Sales Tax Fund. The remaining$22,500 will be funded through the General Fund fund balance.
Other Considerations
A budget amendment for this position will be included with all other mid-year budget amendment
requests at the March 27, 2001, City Council meeting.
Staff Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to create the position of Public
Information Officer.
