CONSENT AGENDA COMMUNICATION
ITEM NO 3
June 24, 1997
Issue
Consider the optional one year extension of a contract with APAC-TEXAS to provide for
asphalt overlay and seal coating on city streets.
Background
Since 1991, the City has maintained an annual contract for resurfacing and seal coating of
asphalt streets. The contract affords a flat rate bid (firm for a period of one year) to provide
all materials, labor and equipment necessary to perform the work, as ordered by the City.
The street resurfacing program for fiscal '97 will require approximately 2,500 tons of asphalt
overlay. There are no seal-coating projects planned for this year. APAC-TEXAS has held
the contract for the past four years and has performed all work in a satisfactory and timely
manner. As the largest producer of asphaltic concrete in the area, APAC has consistently
underbid other paving contractors. After awarding the bid to APAC for three consecutive
years, the City revised the contract to allow for an option to renew for successive one year
periods. Council exercised the renewal option last year. With the current contract expiring,
APAC has requested to extend the contract for another year at the prevailing rate of$34.36
per ton of asphalt laid.
Work to be performed immediately, under the extended contract, would include 3,000 linear
feet of resurfacing on Ballard, from Stone to the Fire Station, and another 2,600 linear feet
on East Brown, from Douglas to W.A. Allen. With the contract overlapping into fiscal '98,
future overlay projects are planned for next Spring on Keefer, Skyview, Masters, Akin Lane
and Stoneybrook. Additional sections of Ballard and East Brown are also scheduled for
paving next fiscal year.

Item No 3

Financial Considerations
The Capital Street Improvement budget for the 1997 fiscal year was approved at
$250,000.00. Of that amount, approximately $147,000.00 is earmarked for concrete alley
reconstruction. A section of concrete pavement on Rush Creek will be replaced at a cost not
to exceed $15,000.00. The remaining balance of approximately $88,000.00 is adequate for
the proposed overlay projects.
Legal Considerations
The execution of the subject contract for asphalt overlay and seal coating was accomplished
in compliance with the competitive bidding requirements contained in Chapter 252.021 of
the Local Government Code. Council action to renew for an additional one year period would
be consistent with the terms of the contract and the referenced Chapter 252.021.
Staff Recommendation
The proposed rate for this contract extension is the same as the lowest responsive bid
submitted by APAC in 1995 and is, therefore, considered to be competitive and
advantageous to the City. Staff recommendation is for Council to exercise the City's
renewal option and extend the contract with APAC-TEXAS to provide all materials, labor
and equipment for asphalt overlay and seal coating for an additional one year period,
commencing July 1, 1997.

ITEM NO 4
June 24, 1997
Issue
Consider and act upon approval for Work Order No. WYL-22 authorizing The Hogan
Corporation to proceed with the design of the new 12-inch Water Main improvements from
Newport Harbor subdivision to Pointe North subdivision through the Birmingham Farms
area.
Backgroun
The Hogan Corporation will perform the Preliminary Planning Phase, Design Phase, and
Construction Phase services for the proposed 12-inch water main improvements from
Newport Harbor subdivision to Pointe North subdivision through the Birmingham Farms
area, a distance of approximately 11,000 linear feet. This project will require the acquisition
of easements across the currently undeveloped Birmingham Farms area. The proposed
alignment will be coordinated with the property owner(s) in an effort to conform to the future
land uses and their general layout. Where possible, future roadway alignments will be set
and/or used in determining the alignment of the proposed 12" water main.
Before construction begins, Public Works will submit a detailed schedule of projected man
hours and equipment costs for accounting purposes. This projection and schedule will be
based on the design proposed herein. Based on the recently completed Alanis water main
project, which was installed by City forces, a significant cost savings over the original bond
budget is anticipated. Work performed will be done as City forces are available. No daily
functions will be interrupted. This project is located in areas which will not require any
interuption or conflict with pedestrian or vehicular traffic. The methods required for the
construction of municipal water mains do not require large work crews or large equipment
for deep trenches.
City of Wylie Public Works Department proposes to furnish all labor and equipment for the
installation of the proposed improvements. The materials for this project, including pipe, fire
hydrants, valves, and all related appurtenances, will be advertised for bid by the City
Purchasing Agent and Public Works. The Hogan Corporation will provide design and
construction phase services on this project.

Board Recommendations
N/A
Financial Considerations
This project is being funded through the 1995 Bond Program. Based on the approximate
distance of 11,000 linear feet, the projected cost for the proposed improvements, installed
by City forces, is $180,000.00. The original 1995 Bond Budget for this project was
$335,000, which included projections for technical services as well as projected cost of
construction.
The total lump sum and not to exceed costs for Work Order WYL-22 is $21,200. The above
total consists of engineering design, $19,700 and general review of construction, $1,500.
No cost estimates have been furnished by the Hogan Corporation for additional services
which could include engineering consultant hours, survey work, lab testing, and the
preparation of right-of-way acquisition documents. Additional services fee schedule is set
out in the work order. The only additional services anticipated in this project would be
preparation of, and acquisition of easements. This work order and water project is budgeted
in the Utility Construction Fund and funds are available.
Legal_Considerations
The services described herein are to be performed in accordance with the applicable
sections of the Agreement for Engineering Services by and between the City of Wylie, Texas
(Owner), and The Hogan Corporation (Engineer), as approved on July 27, 1993.

Discuss and consider approval of a Resolution for Zoning Classification for "Bed and
Breakfast Inn"
Background
A request has been received for the conversion of an existing single family dwelling into a Bed
and Breakfast establishment. The category for "Bed and Breakfast Inn" is not listed as a
permitted use in the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Wylie. The Building Official is seeking
an interpretation from the Planning and Zoning Commission to refer to the City Council on the
most appropriate classification in which to place "Bed and Breakfast Inn".
Per Section 29 of the Zoning Ordinance, the Building Official shall refer the question
concerning any new or unlisted use to the Planning and Zoning Commission along with an
accompanying statement of facts listing the nature of the use and whether it involves dwelling
activity, sales, processing, type of product, storage and amount, and nature thereof, enclosed
or open storage, anticipated employment, transportation requirements, the amount of noise,
odor, fumes, dust, toxic material and vibration likely to be generated and general
requirements for public utilities such as water and sanitary sewer. The Planning and Zoning
Commission shall consider the nature and described performance of the proposed use and
determine the zoning district or districts within which such use should be permitted.
The Planning and Zoning Commission shall relate its findings and recommendations to the
City Council as to the new or unlisted use. The City Council shall, by resolution, approve the
recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission or make such determination
concerning the classification of such use as is determined appropriate based on the findings.
In researching the issue, staff contacted the cities of Plano and Mc Kinney. Excerpts from
their respective zoning ordinances are attached. The definitions are very similar. However,
the two cities have different approaches regarding locational standards.
The City of McKinney requires a Specific Use Permit (SUP) for any Bed and Breakfast facility.
The SUP may be granted in Agricultural and a variety of Residential and Commercial
Districts. The City of Plano allows this type of use by right in Business Government District.
This District allows for retail, office, governmental, cultural, and entertainment uses in the
development, redevelopment, and renovation in, specifically, the original downtown area of
Plano.
Action Agenda
Item No 5
Page 1
Board Recommendation
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended that "Bed and Breakfast Inn" be placed
by right in "R", Retail District and by Specific Use Permit in "M-F", Multi-Family and
"A", Agricultural zoned Districts.
Financial Considerations
"Bed and Breakfast Inns" would be classified Under the Hotel/Motel Tax Ordinance and
subject to the Hotel/Motel Tax of four per cent (4%).
Legal Considerations
Article 9, Section 2 (B2) of the Wylie Home Rule Charter, states that the Planning and Zoning
Commission will recommend to Council proposed ordinances and amendments regarding
planning and zoning changes.
Staff Recommendations
The city of Wylie Zoning Ordinance permits "Hotel or Motel" by right in the "R", Retail District.
Because of the similarity in use , Staff recommends that "Bed and Breakfast Inn" be allowed
by right in the "R", Retail District and by Specific Use Permit in "MF", Multi-family District and
"A", Agricultural District. The use is recommended to be defined as:
"an owner/operator occupied residence with up to five (5) bedrooms
available for overnight paying guests. The maximum length of stay is
fourteen (14) consecutive days in any one calender month. Meals may or
may not be provided, however, no facilities for cooking will be permitted in
any of the bedrooms. Minimum off-street parking will be required at a rate of
one (1) space per each bedroom."

ACTION AGENDA COMMUNICATION
ITEM NO 6
June 24, 1997
Issue
Discuss and consider award of the contract for the reconstruction of approximately 1,140
linear feet of alley between Briarwood and Dogwood (Extended 1997 Alley Improvements).
Background
Sealed bids were opened and read aloud on June 5, 1997. The apparent low bid on this
project is $64,211.00, submitted by Allied Builders, Inc. The Hogan Corporation has
evaluated and checked the low bidders qualifications. A detailed breakdown of bid prices are
attached.
The original project scope included approximately 2,400 linear feet of alleys between
Briarwood, Dogwood and Woodhollow Streets from Stone Road to Briarwood Drive. The
City's original budget for the entire project is $100,000. Based on the amount bid by L. Smith
Contractors on the original project scope ($73,054.00) and the engineering and surveying
costs for the project (approximately $13,000) there is approximately $13,900 remaining from
the original $100,000 project budget. At the May 27th Council meeting, City Council and Staff
discussed the relative merits of reallocating approximately $50,000 from the street overlay
program budget to the alley repaving program budget in order to complete the alley between
Briarwood and Dogwood. After the discussion, Council recommended and approved
authorization to reallocated the funds as mentioned. Since the cost for this additional work
exceeds 25% of the cost of the original contract amount, the City is required to bid the work
separately, rather than extend the L. Smith contract by unit price.
In order to incur the least amount of confusion and inconvenience to the property owners, the
contractor will be required to comply fully with the terms and conditions as specified in the
Contract documents. These items will be addressed at the preconstruction meeting and
required of the contractor:
1. Submit a detailed construction sequence plan including parking and project schedule
for review by the Engineer and Staff. Home owners will park in the street during
reconstruction.
2. Coordinate through City Staff a meeting with the adjacent property owners to discuss
the proposed plan and schedule and make adjustments if necessary.
3. Prepare a form letter of notification to be used to inform affected owners of any
construction related activities which may affect access. This letter must be reviewed
by staff prior to issuance.
Action Agenda
Item No 6
Page 1
Background- continued
4. Deliver letter of notification to affected parties 48 hours in advance of specified
construction activity. A copy must be simultaneously submitted to the City and
Engineer.
5. Notify the City's Inspector as soon as possible as to any changes or problems which
may affect the progress of the project.
6. All other public utilities and services must be notified by the Contractor prior to
construction.
7. Prepare the monthly pay request and review it with the City Inspector prior to submittal
to the Engineer for further processing.
8. Coordinate with Staff and the Engineer monthly progress meetings to be held at the
site to review monthly progress and discuss any changes or problems.
9. Fully comply with all other aspects of the Contract Documents. This includes job site
safety, public notifications, etc.
10. The full and complete responsibility for compliance with the contract documents is the
contractor's. It is the City's and Engineer's responsibility to enforce the terms of the
contract. If the contractor does not or will not comply, the City and Engineer may then
enforce the terms of the contract as stated.
Board Recommendations
N/A
Financial Considerations
This project will be funded through the $250,000 1997 Street and Alley Program. The alley
portion of the 1997 Street and Alley Program was originally budgeted at $100,000. Council
has authorized approximately $50,000 to be reallocated from the street overlay portion of the
street and alley program to the alley project. With the $73,054.01 already bid, and the
$13,000 for technical services and the low bid of Allied Builders, $64,211.00, the total project
cost is now $150,265.01.
The 1997 Street and Alley program is budgeted for $250,000 and funds are available.

Legal Considerations
Article 7, Section 9 states that all contracts involving more than the limits set by the City
Council shall be let to the lowest bidder whose submittal is among those most responsive to
the needs of the City after there has been opportunity for competitive bidding as provided by
law; provided that the City Council or City Manager in such cases as he is authorized to
contract for the City, shall have the right to reject any and all bids.

Dear Mayor and Council Members:
On June 5, 1997,bids were received at the office of the City Manager and then publicly opened and read aloud for
the construction of the above referenced project. During the process of the bid opening, the bid bonds or cashier's
checks included with each bidder's proposal were reviewed,and all appeared to be acceptable.
The proposals submitted for this project have been thoroughly reviewed in our office. During the review, several
clerical irregularities were discovered in the bid of L. Smith Contractors,L.C.. The bidder was notified of the
irregularities and they have decided to voluntarily withdraw their bid(please see the attached letter). No other
errors were found that would alter the position of the bidders. Four(4)bids were received, and the apparent low
bid was submitted by Allied Builders,Inc. in the amount of$64,211.00. A detailed bid tabulation of all of the
bidders is attached for your reference.
The Hogan Corporation has received and reviewed the information and references provided by Allied Builders,
Inc.. We have contacted several of the references provided and all have indicated they would use Allied Builders,
Inc. again. Based on this information, we have no hesitancy in recommending award of the construction contract
to Allied Builders, Inc. in the amount of the base bid of$64,211.00.
Should you agree with our recommendation,please notify this office, and we will proceed with preparation of the
Contract Documents.
Yours very truly, •

ACTION AGENDA COMMUNICATION
ITEM NO 7
June 24, 1997
Issue
Discuss and consider appointments to the Ambulance Advisory Board, Construction Code
Board, Library Board, Parks and Recreation Board, Parks and Recreation Facilities Dev.
Corp. Board, Planning and Zoning Commission, Zoning Board of Adjustments and the Wylie
Economic Development Corporation.
Background
The City Charter authorizes the City Council to appoint members to serve on boards,
commissions and committees to help carry out the functions and obligations of the City. The
City Council has prescribed the purpose, composition, function, duties, accountability and the
tenure of each board, commission and committee.
The City placed application forms for board and commission applications in both the Wylie
News and the Citizens Newsletter. Applications were accepted through June 4, 1997. An
interview panel consisting of three councilmembers was formed. The City Secretary notified
applicants of their interview appointments. The Board and Commissions interviews were held
Monday, June 9 and Tuesday, June 10. Councilmembers Joel Scott, John Mondy and Cleo
Adams volunteered to serve on the interview panel and interviewed twenty two applicants.
Applicants were asked questions such as: "What attracted you to Wylie?"; "What is your
attitude toward growth?"; "What, if anything, would you change about Wylie?"; and "Why are
you interested in serving on a board?" The panel was pleased with the overall experience of
the interviews and impressed with the fact that most of the applicants had some type of
professional degree. A majority of the group have lived in Wylie less than five years and are
not only willing to get involved in the community, but had ideas to share with the panel. This
process was helpful to the panel and offered them an opportunity to understand some of the
visions the applicants have for the community.
A description of each board or commission and their members with expiring terms are listed
as follows:
The Ambulance Advisory Board consists currently of three members who meet on an
"as needed" basis and advise Council on ambulance services. Reta Allen is the only
member with an expiring term.
Action Agenda
Item No 7
Page 1
The Construction Code Board consists of seven members who meet on an "as
needed" basis to review building code requirements and questions the Building Official
may pose before the board for recommendation. Plumbing, contractor and electrical
experience is helpful. Frank Spignola and Kevin Altimier are the members with
expiring terms. There was no response from them to continue to serve.
The Library Board consists of seven members who meet on the 2nd Monday of every
month and advise Council on library services and programs. They discuss policies,
goals, guidelines, and special events related to the operation of the Library. The Board
has no budget or administrative responsibilities. The members whose terms expire
are: Shirley Burnett, Mary Conely and Pat Guess.
The Parks and Recreation Board consists of seven members which meets on the 4th
Monday of every month and advises the Council on acquisitions, maintenance,
operation and use of parks, playgrounds and open spaces. They discuss policies,
goals, guidelines, and special events related to the operation of the Parks and
Community Center. The Board has no budget or administrative responsibilities. The
members whose terms expire are: Kerry Carothers, Daniel Chesnut and Janice Neely.
The Parks and Recreation Facilities Development Corporation consists of seven
members which meets on an "as needed" basis. The purpose of the corporation is to
authorize the expenditure of 4B Sales Tax Funds for projects approved by the City
Council. This board consists of four members from Council, at least one board
member from the Park Board, at least one member from the Library Board and/or one
citizen. The expiring members are Kerry Carothers, Daniel Chesnut and Joel Scott.
Planning and Zoning Commission consists of seven members that meets the 1st and
3rd Monday of every month to review rezoning applications, subdivision plats and site
plans, plats, development plans and advises Council regarding comprehensive
planning issues. While the Commission is only a recommending body, a
recommendation of"denial" by this board requires a three-fourths vote of the Council
for approval. The members whose terms expire are: Steve Ahrens, James Smith and
Stuart Allison. James Smith has advised he does not want to serve another term.
Zoning Board of Adjustments consists of five members and two alternates who meet
on a "as needed" basis to consider applications for variances to zoning ordinance
regulations. The board hears appeals regarding determinations of the Zoning
Administrator, and considers action concerning non-conforming uses. The Board can
only grant variances to provisions of the zoning ordinance if they pose a hardship to
a particular piece of property due to some physical irregularity of that property. The
board cannot grant variances based on financial hardship and cannot grant a variance
to a land use. A decision of the Board of Adjustments can only be appealed to a court
of record, which in Collin County is the district court. The members whose terms
expire are: Mark Clark, Gerald Clark and Ray Capley.

Wylie Economic Development Corporation's primary role is to encourage economic
development in the City of Wylie by using funds to assist new, prospective and existing
businesses. These funds are collected in the form of a 'A cent sales tax authorized by
the voters of Wylie in 1990. The five member board makes all decisions related to the
use of these funds. The City Council must approve the annual budget and authorize
expenditures over $50,000. John Yeager is the only member with an expiring term.
Financial Consideration
The board, commission and committee members are not compensated by the city as stated
in the City Charter under Article 8, Section 3 B. These members are strictly volunteers from
the community.

appoint boards, commissions and committees as it deems necessary to carry out the
functions and obligations of the city. No person shall be appointed to or serve on more than
two boards, commissions or committees at any given time. Any person serving on the

Wylie Fire Department
Fire Inspection Program Inspection Review
This report reflects my findings concerning the Wylie Fire Department Fire Inspection
Program. This information was gathered during the week of June 8, 1997. I am a Texas
State Certified Licensed Fire Inspector/Fire Investigator with more than 20 years
experience in the Fire Service.

Sr. Fire Protection Specialist

Plano, Texas
June 16, 1997
I, Randy Slack, was contracted by the Wylie Fire Department as a consultant to review
Wylie Fire Department Fire Inspection Program. I was requested to review Fire Inspection
Reports and procedures for thoroughness and professionalism.
The Fire Chief of the City of Wylie also requested that I conduct a Fire Safety Inspection
at five (5) Wylie businesses. These businesses are listed below:
1. Wylie Flower and Gift
2. Western Auto
3. Wylie Hardware
4. American Molds/Acrylic and Injection
5. Lone Star Marble
In general the Wylie Inspection Reports were in line with what I found during these
inspections. The following information reflects my Fire Safety Inspection results
concerning each business.
WYLIE FLOWER AND GIFT
Numerous electrical code violations/hazards exist. The owner was made aware of each
code violation and showed concern. This business is well maintained and organized. It
is evident that good housekeeping procedures are practiced. Considering the age of this
structure, the fire safety hazards identified are minimal.
WESTERN AUTO
Combustible liquid products are being stored outside this business and are not In
compliance with the 1994 Uniform Fire Code. Violations include, but may not be limited
to:
• Lack of proper container labeling/signage.
• Location of containers to close to structure.
• Lack of proper spill control, drainage control and secondary
containment.
• Lack of protection from vehicle traffic.
• Lack of protection from trespassers and tampering of containers.
This business is well maintained and organized. Good housekeeping procedures are
obviously practiced.

WYLIE HARDWARE
At the time of my fire inspection, this business showed no obvious fire hazards. This
business appears to be well organized and clean.
AMERICAN MOLDS/ACRYLIC AND INJECTION
• Several portable fire extinguishers are in need of service.
• Relocate and add one portable fire extinguisher.
• Combustibles are to close to an open flame heating unit.
• Large amounts of spray by-product, sawdust and plastic shavings are on the floor.
• Spray booth filters are in need of replacement.
• The spray booth fixed fire extinguishing systems are in need of their semi annual
service inspection.
• An additional fire hydrant is recommended to protect this business.
• Testing and research continues involving the plastic 250 gallon totes. These totes
are filled with a combustible liquid and may need to be separated inside a fire rated
enclosure. This decision will be made in the near future.
• Good housekeeping procedures need to be practiced on a daily basis in order to
reduce the high volume of combustible by-product waste.
Considering the total operations being conducted at this sight, it is obvious the owners are
fire safety conscious.
LONE STAR MARBLE
• Storage room door for acetone must remain closed.
• Remove all frayed and spliced electrical wiring and cords.
• One portable fire extinguisher needs service and do not obstruct the location of
portable fire extinguishers.

LONE STAR MARBLE - continued
• Filters in the spray booth area are in need of replacing. Clean filters are to be used
on a more regular basis.
• Provide a fixed fire extinguishing system inside spray booth area
• Smoking should not be allowed inside any structure where manufacturing takes
place
• Testing and research continues involving the plastic 250 gallon totes. These totes
are filled with a combustible liquid and may have to be stored inside a fire rated
enclosure. This decision will be made in the near future.
The Fire Chief of the City of Wylie also requested that I review various Fire Inspection
Reports on five (5) Wylie businesses. These businesses are listed below:
1. J & B Paint & Body
2. Wylie Middle School
3. Simmons Lumber
4. Business Offices
5. Wylie Muffler & Tire
After reading these fire inspection reports, I found the written violations documented on
each report to be legitimate according to the 1994 Uniform Fire Code. I have reviewed
numerous fire safety reports which were written by the Wylie Fire Inspectors and found
them to be thorough and correct.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The Wylie Fire Department Inspection Program is a relatively new program with young new
fire inspectors. These fire inspectors may require many hours of actual fire inspections and
communication opportunities to polish their skills of diplomacy and tact. If classes are
available to teach these skills, it is recommended that they be allowed to attend.
Compliance through cooperation is imperative.

RECOMMENDATIONS -continues(
Misunderstandings are often the key for non-compliance and frustrated business owners.
Good communication of the benefits of fire safety and why the corrections are important
to business owners are vital.
Every site-specific fire code violation need not be written on the inspection report. The
inspectors should document the violation once and state that it was seen several times at
numerous locations.
The city fire inspectors have been very lenient, in working with the business owners, in
allowing fire violations to continue. The inspectors should be less lenient when major fire
violations are present. If compliance is not achieved, then a fire code violation citation
should be issued and supported by the appropriate city officials.
Have a qualified on site observer to critique each fire inspector during their fire inspections
and have each fire inspector witness fire inspections conducted by the qualified observer.
This would allow both the observer and the inspectors to gain knowledge concerning
communication skills, tact, diplomacy, negative positive body language and pre and post
interview techniques.
There have been many businesses in Wylie who have gained compliance in a timely
manner concerning their fire inspection. They are to be commended. A new fire
inspection program in communities where the Fire Code may not have been enforced in
the past, will usually take time for business owners and responsible parties to adjust to
such a program. A successful fire inspection program is imperative to help eliminate fire
deaths and destruction.
My overall rating of the Wylie Fire Department Fire Inspection Program is above average.

WYLI E CITY COUNCIL
Worksession Presentation
Item No 9
June 24, 1997
Issue
Presentation and discussion of city-wide drainage study for the City of Wylie. The Hogan
Corporation will make a presentation of the information covered in the drainage study,
including rationale, methods, and specific project issues. The discussion period following the
presentation will provide input and guidance needed to complete the study.
Background
The Hogan Corporation was authorized by the City Council to prepare an overall drainage
study for the City to identify the major drainage basins, and to establish a general plan to be
used as an aid for future development activities in the City. In addition, specific projects have
been identified as part of the study along with the related costs, and a prioritization ranking.
Currently, there are numerous significant drainage problems within the City. Many of these
problems are due to deficient development standards from the past, substandard construction
methods, and inadequate planning. The new overall drainage study references the City's
Drainage Design Manual and provides direction for its implementation as required by the
City's Subdivision Regulations.
The purpose of this presentation is to gain input from the City Council with regard to the
prioritization of each of the projects identified based on several different criteria, including:
potential liability, damage to property, public health and safety issues, and engineering
benefit/cost analysis.
A general overview of urban drainage issues and storm water management procedures will
be given. The presentation will include displays of the major drainage basins within the City
and maps showing the local drainage areas and specific problem areas identified by the
Study. A more detailed discussion of the individual drainage problems will be given outlining
the problem, the cause, the recommended solution and the associated cost projections.
Finally, each particular drainage project will be prioritized considering cost, age, number of
complaints, monetary risk to private and public property, and any other consideration
appropriate. The discussion portion of the presentation will be used to finalize the list of
drainage projects and to adjust the prioritization list, if needed.
The final report, maps, and project list will be finalized based on the input received during the
discussion portion of the presentation.
