With notice of the meeting posted in time and manner required by law and a quorum of Board
members present, the Board of Directors of the Wylie Economic Development Corporation
(WEDC) met in Regular Session on April 6, 2000 in the Woodbridge Golf Club Conference
Room at 7400 Country Club Dr., Wylie, Texas.
The meeting was called to order by President Yeager at 7:00 a.m.
ITEM NO. 1 — Discuss and Consider Issues Surrounding the Expansion of Sanden
International (USA), Inc.
Staff informed the Board that Sanden had presented the WEDC with construction documentation
detailing construction cost of $330,827 for `concrete paving'. Based upon the commitment to
assist with the road, Board members instructed staff to determine if the figures presented
represent additional improvements aside from the road itself, i.e. parking or fire lanes.
Staff conveyed to the Board a meeting with Mr. Scott Ragsdale, Facilities Manager for Sanden to
discuss construction costs and configuration of the road in relation to the fire lane. As
determined by Mr. Ragsdale, construction cost for the road alone was $76,339. Items removed
from the $330,827 figure were the fire lane surrounding the facility, associated engineering, and
the mechanical courtyard.
Board Member St. John commented that the commitment made by the WEDC was for assistance
with a road to access the die cast facility. A fire lane and internal construction, should not be
assumed as part of the road. Staff commented that the items removed are clearly outside the
intent of the initial WEDC commitment.
MOTION: A motion was made by Gary Bowland and seconded by Kevin St. John to
approve a $76,339 incentive package to Sanden International. The Wylie
Economic Development Board of Directors voted 5 — FOR and 0 —
AGAINST if favor of the motion.
