In the FY 2015-16 Budget, the WEDC budgeted $2,000 for utilities. With the unanticipated utility
expenses associated with 710 Business Way, expenditures have exceeded this amount by $1,827.28.
Staff anticipates a credit from Atmos Gas in the amount of$377.44 bringing the net overage to$1,449.84.
Anticipated expenses through the end of the Fiscal Year are estimated at $1,000 which will bring the
overage to approximately $2,500. Staff proposed reducing Incentives by $2,500 to offset the increased

Staff recommended that the WEDC Board approve Budget Transfer request EDC 2016-1 in the amount
of$2,500.
MOTION: A motion was made by Todd Wintters and seconded by John Yeager to
approve Budget Transfer Request EDC 2016-1 in the amount of$2,500. The
WEDC Board voted 4—FOR and 0—AGAINST in favor of the motion.
ITEM NO.4— Consider and act upon issues surrounding a Real Estate Contract between WEDC
and FBC Wylie.
Presented for the Board's review was a survey of the FBC property located at 111 N.Ballard Street with
the WEDC under contract to purchase the lot from FBC Wylie. Staff explained that the survey showed
the adjacent building to the north, owned by Mr. Anthony Boyd, encroaching onto FBC property by
approximately 120 square feet (an area of 4.5' x 26.7').
While WEDC counsel is researching options,it is unlikely that the WEDC can require Mr.Boyd to move
any portion of his structure and further the WEDC will most likely be required to convey its interest in
the affected property upon platting at some point in the future. Staff believes the only available options
are to exercise our rights under the contract to terminate or to close on the property.
The Board reviewed its purpose for getting the FBC property under contract being an effort to influence
future development along Ballard Street. From a redevelopment approach, should the WEDC close on
the FBC property, staff will continue to approach Mr. Boyd in an effort to acquire his property and
combine the two lots. For the short term, there has been discussions surrounding the paving of the
property to provide additional downtown parking with that decision to be made at a future date.
Staff believes that the ability to control the FBC lot with the ultimate goal of acquiring Mr. Boyd's
property, far overrides the impact of the Boyd encroachment.
Board Members Dawkins, Yeager, Fuller, and Wintters all commented/agreed that the encroachment
does not change the purpose for which this property is being acquired.
Staff recommended that the WEDC Board authorized staff to proceed with closing on the purchase of
the property in question from FBC Wylie.
MOTION: A motion was made by John Yeager and seconded by Todd Wintters to
proceed with closing on the purchase of the property by the WEDC from FBC
Wylie. The WEDC Board voted 4—FOR and 0—AGAINST in favor of the
motion.
