COUNCIL DISCUSSION: Mayor Pro Tem Naish stated that in the

for two police cars and at that time the department opted to
by one car and use the money for raises. Since we have the
warrant officer maybe we should pick up this other car.
City Manager Charles Norwood said he thinks we need to wait
until later in the year . Revenues are coming in for two
cities, but Wylie' s is slow coming in but we are working on
this. Councilman Swartz wanted to know the maintenance on
the police cars. City Manager Charles Norwood said he was
not sure, he has not had a chance to look at his budget .

come in and the other should be in any day.

there has been roof damage. We need to get this corrected .
Councilman Akin wanted to know if we are doing any work in
the old fire station. Mr. Johnson said that Mr . Larry Allen
turned in a purchase order request and the roof is being
repaired . The same contractor is going to repair the roof
at the old fire station. The total repairs on both
buildings is under $1 ,000. Councilman Akin wanted to know
if the firemen are covered by insurance. City Manager
Charles Norwood said they are covered under a workers
compensation plan . Mr . Johnson said it was the same
coverage for firemen as we have for other employees.
Councilman Akin also wanted to know the status on the street
money coming in. Mr . Johnson said the largest payment out
is Independent Bank. FDIC has received a letter regarding
this. Councilman Akin wanted to know the status on going
out for bids for ambulance service. Mr . Johnson said we
will have information in the next pack.
Councilman Swartz said that Council needs to look for land
on this side of town for a fire station. Councilman Akin
said we have been given an acre of land on this side of
town.
Councilman Wright said that the ambulance proposal is very
important and that Council should go back and read this
document again.

Mayor and Council election would begin on Monday, February

PARK BOARD MEETING
MINUTES
FEBRUARY 1 , 1990
The City of Wylie Park and Recreation Board met in regular
session Thursday, February 1, 1990 at 7: 15 p. m. in the
council chambers at the Municipal Complex. Those present
were Chairman Joanie Zeeb, Board Members Bill Burge, Bryan
Glenn, and B. J . Upshaw, Public Works Superintendent Don
White, and Secretary Lisa Keith. Board Members Bill Emsoff ,
Cheri Albin, and Mike Miller were absent.
Chairman Joanie Zeeb called the meeting to order.
APPROVAL OF THE JANUARY MINUTES: The minutes were approved
as submitted with all in favor.
FEBRUARY PLANNED PROJECTS REPORT: Don White went over the
projects list with the Board.
GRANT MONEY FOR PARKS PROJECT REPORT: Bill Burge said he
found out where to go to get information we would need to
request grant money for parks projects, but that the
information report would cost forty to fifty dollars.
Bryan Glenn said some large corporations perform searches
for free. He said that he would talk to his organization to
see if they would fund a search for us.
Don White said the librarian has submitted grants for
library funds, and I believe there are other city employees
who are experienced in writing grants.
REPORT OF OPEN SPACE PROJECT, ATTRACTIVE AREAS IN WYLIE:
Bryan Glenn stated that the county said when the open space
bonds were approved that they had no funding for
beautification areas. They have County designations but_ not
City. Mr. McLaughlin will give us an agenda on what
attractive areas to look at in Wylie. These areas have to
meet the criteria of a standard check list.
VALENTINE PARK MASTER PLAN PROJECT REPORT: This: nrdcr of
business was tabled due to Bill Emsoff ' s absence.
HIGHWAY BEAUTIFICATION PROJECT REPORT: Joanie Zeeb asked if
everyone had read the proposed landscaping ordinance
included in the packet, and said that she wanted everyone to
be aware of what was going on. She discussed some phases of
the ordinance with the Board.
B. J . Upshaw said that his thoughts of a Park & Recreation
Board were strictly related to the park facilities and
recreational programs, and asked Chairman Zeeb if the P&Z
Board should be handling the business of a proposed
landscaping ordinance. Joanie Zeeb said her aspect of Park
& Recreation includes beautification and landscaping in the
City, and that the ordinance did have to be approved by the
P&Z Board.
Bryan Glenn asked if there was an existing ordinance, and if
the Park & Recreation Board was attached to this in anyway.
Joanie Zeeb said that there was not an existing ordinance
and that last year the Park & Recreation Board supported the
proposed ordinance and took it to P&Z. Bryan Glenn said
his concern was that this item needs to be taken directly to
P&Z.
Joanie Zeeb stated that she just wanted the board members to
be aware that she was attempting to get such an ordinance
passed.
MARCH FOR PARKS PROJECT REPORT AND DISCUSSION: Cheri Albin
being absent no report was given. However there was some
discussion of this being a national non-profit association
to make money for the national parks. Joanie Zeeb said she
found out that they will send you a sample packet with
sample brochures, etc. In return you send them all the
money you collected and then they send you back fifty
percent. All in all this does not fit in with what we want.
I think we should go ahead and have a "Walk For Wylie Parks"
fund raiser.
Bryan Glenn asked where the walking route would be located.
Bill Burge said the route needed to be visible.
Don White said why couldn' t some of the merchants support
this project. Bryan Glenn said they could set up the check
points and supply trophies. Don White said that companies
within the city could have in house pledge competitions.
•
There was some discussion of what types of prizes to have
available to qualified/certified walkers and to sell to
participants. T-shirts, trophies, tags, etc.
Don White said I think if this is thought out and put
together properly, including getting the companies in Wylie
involved ,that you could possibly raise several thousand
dollars.
CITIZEN PARTICIPATION: No citizens being present Chairman
Zeeb moved on to the next order of business.
GENERAL DISCUSSION: There was some discussion of what is
referred to as Old City Park behind the old police station
off of South Ballard as to whether or not it really is a
park. Don White informed the Board that it was not legally
designated as a park, it is actually the railroad right of
way. Don White said to make it legal you would have to go
through the railroad commission.
Joanie Zeeb said she talked to Mr. Whitt from WISD. He said
they could probably give us the land for a road as an
alternate entrance to Community Park. He also said that
they could give us the land for a swimming pool , but would
not be able to donate any funds for the construction of the
pool itself , and that they would allow us to put in more
tennis courts on school property for the entire community to
utilize.
Joanie Zeeb asked if the city would pay for her to attend
the national swimming pool convention. Since a pool would be
constructed a.t Community Park we need to know what is
available. Don White instructed her to submit her request
to City Manager Charles Norwood.
Joanie Zeeb distributed a park and recreation questionnaire
form to everyone present and stated that before we can
promote anything I really think we need to conduct a survey
to get an idea of what the community wants. The Community

TO: Charles Norwood, City Manager
FROM: Jim Gilmore, Chief of Police
RE: False Fire Alarms
At the City Council meeting on July 25 , 1989 , Mr . John Akin,
Council Member , stated the Wylie Fire Chief had advised him
that many false fire alarms are received from the "Physicians
Regional Hospital" (formerly Wylie Community Hospital) . Mr .
Akin also inquired if we had an alarm ordinance . He was
advised that the staff would look into the matter and get back
to him regarding the ordinance and false fire alarms at the
hospital .
Police dispatching records indicate that twenty-four (24 )
false fire alarms have been received from the "Physicians
Regional Hospital" from January through June 1989 time period .
There is no alarm ordinance in effect at the present time.
However , a proposed alarm ordinance is currently being
reviewed by the City Manager and will then be presented to the
City Council for approval .

RE: City Council Agenda Item
Alanis Lane Cost Estimate
The attached letter from Mr. Richard Boston, Assistant
Public Works Director for Collin County details the cost
estimates for widening and paving Alanis Lane. The cost
estimate for the total materials cost is $39, 482. 00, of
which the City is being requested to pay #18, 040. 00.
These estimates fall within the amounts I find reasonable
for this type of construction; therefore, I would recommend
that the Council approve the amount of $18, 040. 00.

[Regarding cost estimate to upgrade CR 1066 (Alanis Rd.)
to asphalt]
Dear Mr. Homeyer:
The cost estimate to upgrade Alanis Rd. to asphalt reflects
a total material cost of $39,482.00.
The City's portion of the materials cost would be
$18,040.00. Several other cost to be borne by the city
would be relocation of any water service line, meters,
valves and supplying water for setting up the base.
It should be noted that if your city council, after
reviewing the cost, decides that they do want the road
upgraded, then we would need a letter from you requesting
the upgrade.
It would then be presented to Commissioners' Court for their
formal approval.
If this road was presented and approved for upgrade it
should be noted that the actual upgrade would not be done
until FY91 (after October 1, 1990) as our present
construction schedule is full.

DATE: February 14, 1990
RE: Wastewater Collection System Improvements
CH2M Hill Engineering Fees
It has been determined through a thorough examination that
CH2M Hill was not paid for several invoices which they
forwarded to the City. The statements were first delivered
beginning in September, 1897 through May, 1988 and were not
paid because of the absence of funds in the Impact Fund and
because there was some confusion resulting from the transfer
of the engineering services contract from the City to North
Texas Municipal Water District. The total of these invoices
which are due is $12, 479. 70.
This matter has not been brought to Council before this time
for several reasons. The previous City Manager, John
Pitstick, obtained all of the original invoices during his
discussions with the CH2M Hill representatives ; therefore,
James Johnson had no records which would indicate that the
money was due. When Mr. Pitstick terminated his services
with the city he turned the documents over to me, but he did
not indicate to me that they were the original invoices so I
filed them away for reference.
Mr. Glenn Middleton brought these invoices to your attention
shortly after you began working here in Wylie. You then
instructed James Johnson and me to investigate the matter
and report back to you. After meeting with Glenn Middleton,
James and I determined that I was in possession of the
invoices, which was why James was not able to address the
matter through the normal channels. We also determined that
the amounts invoiced do fall within the authorized contract
amounts and the work invoiced had been performed in
conjunction with the directives of the City. Therefore, the
amounts due should be forwarded to the City Council at the
next regular City Council meeting for their approval
I recommend that the City Council approve the payment of
$12, 479. 70 to CH2M Hill per the attached invoice.

RE: Tax Refund of $656. 40
tOverpayment) Fidelity Savings
Agenda Item: Feb. 27 , 1990
Meeting
DATE: Feb. 14 , 1990
This refund has been caused by the taxes paid at closing in
November ( 403 Monroe CAD #R2249-00E-0090-1 ) in the amount of
$656 . 40 ( 1989 taxes ) by Dallas Title Co. of Plano. However,
the mortgage company, Fidelity Savings , paid these ( 1989 )
taxes again with a check that included a number of other
accounts in Wylie in the latter part of January, 1990.
Consequently, upon discovering this we would respectively
request authorization to refund the $656 . 40 to Fidelity in
accordance with Section 31 . 11 of Texas Property Tax Code.
