Staff Comments
Planning Director 011ie addressed Council stating that the applicant is requesting to rezone the property to
Corridor Commercial. The applicant has indicated that the land will be developed with a retail use;

allowed in CC. The City land use map calls for medium density residential on the south tract and Light
Industrial on the north tract. However, this tract of land, if rezoned CC would create a contiguous
commercial corridor with the CC zoning district on SH78 as the north tract of land is adjacent to that
district.

Staff Comments
Public Arts Advisory Board Liaison Ehrlich addressed Council stating that art consultant Sharon Leeber
has notified the City that arrangements for the donation of the Herk von Tongeren sculpture have been
completed. She explained that pursuant to Ordinance No. 2005-57, approval of all donations with a value

consultant of$4,000. In addition there will be some costs for transportation, storage of the piece until the
Municipal Civic Center is completed, and base construction once the piece is installed on site. She
reported that the CIP art funding for the Municipal Civic Center will cover these future costs. She noted
that the Public Arts Advisory Board is recommending approval of Resolution No. 2009-19(R) accepting
the Herk von Tongeren sculpture and the costs to obtain the art piece.

(L. Vaughan, Finance Director)
Staff Comments
Finance Director Vaughan addressed Council stating that the mid-year budget amendments are generally
intended to cover unanticipated and/or unavoidable revenue and expenditure adjustments to the adopted
budget. The detail is attached to Ordinance No. 2009-18 for the requested items which are located within
the General Fund. She explained that the requests are further defined as neutral (matching revenues to
expenditures), revenue increases, or expenditure increases. The Fire Department is requesting three full
time fire fighters in lieu of utilizing volunteer fire fighters. She explained that the fund to pay part time fire
fighters would be used to offset the three full time personnel. Other General Fund amendments are offset
by grants. She noted that there were a couple of amendments to other funds which include the Public
Arts Fund, Thoroughfare Impact Fee Fund (shared expenditure with WEDC) and the Fleet Fund to cover
damaged vehicles.
Council Discussion
Mayor Hogue asked Assistant Fire Chief Flores to come forward. He asked Assistant Chief Flores how
many part time firefighters worked during normal shifts. Assistant Chief Flores replied that six part timers
are currently working shifts and will be replaced with 3 full time firefighters. He reported that this will not
affect shifts. He noted that beyond the financial benefits of moving to three full firefighters, there will be
other benefits. The full time firefighters will be fully trained and dependable. Part time personnel
sometimes work for other departments and can not always work the shifts needed.

Discussion
Article 8, Section 1A of 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 and to make
recommendations to the City Council. The City Council has prescribed the purpose, composition, function,
duties, accountability and the tenure of each board, commission and committee.
The City Secretary's Office began an active campaign to solicit for Board and Commission applications by
utilizing the Wylie News, eWylie, all municipal facilities and current board and commission members. Staff
also utilized the City's Website by offering application submittal on-line.
An interview panel, consisting of three council members, was used to conduct interviews of all applicants. All
applicants were personally contacted to schedule an informal meeting, in open session, with the Boards and
Commission Council Interview Panel. Council members appointed by the City Council for 2009 were: Mayor
Pro Tem Red Byboth, Councilwoman Kathy Spillyards, and Councilman Rick White. The applicants consisted
of 22 new applicants, 21 current members seeking reappointment. Five current members did not seek
Page 1 of 2
reappointment and five positions were vacant.
The Panel met with applicants on Monday, June 15, 2009, Tuesday, June 16, 2009 and Wednesday, June 17,
2009. The Council feels that the entire process is helpful to them in making appointments and offers an
opportunity to understand some of the visions the applicants have for the community. The 2009 Boards and
Commission Council Interview Panel has attached their recommendations for Council consideration and action.

CITY OF WYLIE AGENDA REPORT
Meeting Date: June 23, 2009 Item Number: 2
Department: Library (City Secretary's Use Only)
Prepared By: Rachel Orozco Account Code:
Date Prepared: June 17, 2009 Budgeted Amount: $179,728.00
Exhibits: 2
Subject
Consider, and act, upon authorizing the City Manager to enter into an agreement between 3M and the City of
Wylie in the amount of$179,728.00 for a turnkey Radio Frequency Identification Device (RFID) system for the
new Rita and Truett Smith Public Library.
Recommendation
Motion authorizing the City Manager to enter into an agreement between 3M and the City of Wylie, in the
amount of $179,728.00, for a turnkey Radio Frequency Identification Device System (RFID) system for the
new Rita and Truett Smith Public Library.
Discussion
A Radio Frequency Identification Device System (RFID) for the new Rita and Truett Smith Public Library will
allow staff to focus on direct customer service rather than repetitive tasks such as checking-in materials, sorting,
and shelf-reading. Self-service check out provides staff the opportunity to focus on patron's research and
reader's advisory questions.
The library staff recommends that a Radio Frequency Identification Device system be purchased for the new
library. This system will include 3M basic RFID tags (75,000), RFID media tags (8,000), 3M Mobile
Conversion Station (3 month rental), 3M R-Series Self-checks (3), 3M RFID Pad Staff Stations (4), 3M Digital
Library Assistant (1), 3M C-Series RFID Book Return (1), Model 8903 3-Aisle RFID Detection System (1),
Model 747 Digital Data Manager (1), Model 8900 Stats and Status Software (1), Intelligent Return and Sorter
System, Plus model, exterior mount with 3-bin sorter (1), Integrated Disc Media Unlocker (3), DiscMate DVD
Case Replacement Locks (4), DiscMate Single DVD case (24), DiscMate Double DVD case (1).

Proposal
Implementation of an
Expanded Circulation
Inventory System
Rita and Truett Smith Public
Library
June 2009
Radio Frequency Identification
Device System
Rita and Truett Smith Public
Library
June 2009
Background
The Rita and Truett Smith Public Library is a busy and active library. Circulation
in FY 2008 was 181,639. These transactions are handled by 3.5 FTE employees.
Circulation is managed from a service desk with three public service stations
where customers can have their transactions handled by staff.
Workload measures
Workload in library circulation is measured by the ratio of circulation transactions
to FTE employees. Every public library nationwide collects and reports
circulation and staffing levels annually, according to uniform definitions.
Looking at the data for Texas libraries, the average number of circulation
transactions per FTE employee in the most recent fiscal year reported, 2006,
was:
• Texas Average, all public libraries 14,788
• Texas libraries serving populations of 40 K 14,588
• Smith Public Library 51,896
Workload averages vary across the State and Nation depending on services a
library provides. The ratio of transactions to FTEs does not take into account
specific services different libraries provide. A library with a large children's
program would have a smaller ratio than a library without such program. The
Smith Public Library has active and well-attended children's, tween, and teen
programs. Additionally, Adult Reference and Children's staff assist at the
circulation desk. This will not be an option in the expanded building.
Library use levels have grown steadily as the City has grown; however, there has
been a marked increase beginning in 1998 when the library was expanded from
5,000 to 7,000 square feet. At that time, the library added a children's area.
The library has also changed automation systems twice since 1998. Each
change has increased circulation because the efficient and user-friendly
automation system removed significant barriers for easy use of the library. In
doing so, it spurred increased use of the library.
Since 2000, circulation has increased from 80,109 transactions per year to
181,639, a net increase of 127%. In the same time period, staffing levels have
increased by 89%. Increases were made slowly in clerk hours. Only one full-
time Library Technician was added to the circulation department. The Children's
position became a professional librarian position in 2005, which has increased
circulation and programming activities. In 2006, a Children's Reference Assistant
position was added.
1
Workloads have increased over this period from 16,865 circulation transactions
per FTE to the current level of 51,896 per FTE, an increase of 208%.
The library staff is thus conducting approximately two and a half times the
number of transactions per FTE as the state average.
Current Library Scenario
It is a challenge to check in returned materials in a timely manner because of the
current system and the lack of staff.
• At the end of the workday, materials are not always checked in.
• Materials are not checked in when patrons are ready to check out.
• On Monday mornings, it takes all day to check in materials.
• When patrons return materials in the book drop, they call several hours
later to inquire why materials are still on their accounts.
An RFID system with an automated book drop will check in materials
instantaneously and allow staff to focus on other customer service issues.
The book drop sorter will also sort materials into Audiovisual, Books, and
Exceptions. This will further enhance the productivity of the staff.
Opening a New Library Facility
It is commonplace for a public library opening a new facility to experience
substantial increases in circulation activity. Increases in the range of 25%-30%
are common. In the North Texas area, Allen experienced a 25% increase in use
when it opened its new facility, while Lewisville experienced a much bigger gain
of 46%.
In planning for the opening of the new Smith Library, circulation is projected to
increase by 50 percent. This translates into additional circulation transactions of
90,819 annually. In terms of workload, the additional circulation represents the
annual output of circulation staff members 2 FTE.
2
Security Issues
The Smith Public Library does not have a viable security system. The security
system was purchased in 1995 and has not been updated. In 2005, it was
decided to not purchase an updated security system since we were moving into a
new building.
Library material security systems have both advantages and disadvantages. A
major advantage of a theft detection system is that it would prevent some thefts
of library materials. A secondary advantage results from the public's perception
that a security system is an effective effort to safeguard public property. The
major disadvantage of an older technology system is that it requires staff to
activate or deactivate the security targets at each transaction. This adds
additional steps to both the checkout and check-in processes. If a magnetic
detection system is used, it is particularly difficult for self-service users to
desensitize the security strips without damaging magnetic media such as audio
books videotapes. The result is that older security systems make it difficult to
use self-service effectively, lengthen the time required for each transaction and
can result in longer lines and wait times for checkout.
The minimum cost of installing the most basic standalone system, using older
electromagnetic or RF technologies, has been estimated at about $116,081.
Library Trends — The Search for Cost Effectiveness
Nationwide, libraries are continuously seeking more efficient ways to provide
service. Because libraries are very staff intensive operations, an obvious place
to focus attention is on ways to reduce the dependence on labor, especially labor
spent to conduct repetitive tasks that can be more efficiently done with the aid of
appropriate technology.
Self-Service: The Smith Public Library does not provide self-check at this time.
Streamlining Processes: A second useful approach is to find ways to improve
the efficiency of staff operations. In an already efficient operation, the most likely
path to achieving greater efficiency is by providing technology that eliminates
motions or steps in the process of checking out materials and checking in loaned
materials.
3
Substituting Technology for Staff
The circulation areas of the new Smith Library are designed to minimize the need
for additional staff. From a public service standpoint, this means that effective
functioning of the library is dependent on employing greater levels of self-
service technology to keep the workflow moving.
The circulation desk has two staffed service points, compared to the current one,
with three staffed service points. Instead, three self-service workstations have
been planned. The self-service locations are placed to maximize their use.
Instead of having three people working the circulation service desk, we will have
one to two.
Alternative Approaches for Self-Service:
Because the new library facility is designed for intensive use of self-service in
circulation, it is also heavily dependent on self-service options being available.
Higher levels of circulation activity combined with fewer staffed service points will
result in substantial delays for customers waiting in line to check out their
materials without an increase in additional self service stations.
There are essentially two choices to facilitate increased self-service:
Alternative 1 — Initiate self-service check-out
Purchase and install three self-service workstations. This option would use
existing barcode identification tags. However, each book would have to be re-
tagged.
Pros of using Alternative 1:
• Utilizes current technology
• Use existing barcode identification tags
Cons of using Alternative 1:
• No increase in the efficiency of staff-assisted transactions
• Does not offer self check in options
• Does not function as a security system.
• Must tag entire collection
• Additional staff will be needed
If a security system (or theft detection system) is considered desirable it
4
would require a separate purchase of security gates, and sensitizing and
desensitizing equipment at each staff service position.
A stand- alone security system of this type would place added barriers in the
way of customer success in using self-service. This shifts more of the
workload back onto library staff, thus reducing the effectiveness of self-
service and increasing the amount of staff time required to manage the
circulation system.
The minimum cost of using current technology, assuming the inclusion of a
security system, is thus estimated at for initial installation.
Alternative 2 — Convert to Radio Frequency Identification Device (RFID)
Technology
The second alternative is to invest in RFID technology.
North Texas is becoming an international hub for the RFID industry. Every
portion of the supply line, from chip manufacturers to distributors, is found in
the area. And several area libraries are already using RFID. Libraries in the
metroplex are implementing RFID when new buildings are opened.
Pros of Using Alternative 2:
• Greater ease of use encourages customers to use self-service options,
freeing staff from rote mechanical tasks so they can better serve the public
• Can physically checkout and check-in multiple books at a time, creating
greater efficiency in checkout procedures speeding transactions,
shortening lines, and improving customer satisfaction. It also increases
staff productivity, enabling each circulation staff member to handle greater
numbers of customer transactions
• Reduction in physical manipulation of books reduces the incidence of
repetitive motion injuries to circulation employees
• Allows self check-in
• Makes possible better security against theft of library materials
Cons of Using Alternative 2:
• Costly to implement.
Preferred Alternative
Staff recommends using RFID technology at the new Smith Library. It has
several benefits over Alternative 1.
5
Operating Impact - Staffing
RFID technology is capable of both increasing individual staff productivity,
and reducing overall staff workloads. Its use can make possible reductions
in the number of staff that would otherwise be required to manage the
circulation loan functions of a library.
Circulation is expected to increase in the new library by at least 50%. Other
libraries in the area that have opened new facilities have seen greater circulation
increases. At the current rate of approximately 51,896, annual
transactions per FTE circulation staff member, a 50% increase represents the
workload of 2 FTEs.
Savings in staff costs: Without RFID, the library would have to hire 4 part-time
circulation clerks at 20 hours per week or two 2 full-time clerks at 40 hours per
week.
Two full-time Library Technicians at 40 hours per week:
First year = $134,076
Five years= $712,424
Assumptions include 2.5 step raise, not COLA and 5% inflation on benefits after
second year.
Four part-time Library Technicians at 20 hours per week:
First year= $69,232
Five years=$363,340
Assumptions include 2.5% step, No COLA, No benefits
Grapevine has been able to reduce the number of staff with the use of RFID.
Arlington has also experienced staff time savings but rather than reducing staff
Arlington decided to reassign circulation staff to more direct customer assistance
roles as RFID has been implemented branch by branch.
Because we are recommending the minimum amount of staff assuming that we
will have RFID, it is our goal to follow the Arlington model and reassign staff to
more direct customer service assistance. For example, this would include
working the public floor assisting with questions, more active Reader's Advisory,
and assisting at programs.
6
Lifespan of RFID Tags and Equipment
The lifespan of RFID systems will depend on two basic types of components: 1)
the RFID identification tags placed on items, and 2) the reader equipment,
including staff checkout, check-in, customer self-service workstations and RFID
security gates placed at the entrance of the library and automated handling
sorters.
RFID Tags: The largest investment in RFID is the RFID tags themselves. The
RFID tags used in libraries do not contain a power source that can wear out. A
radio frequency field generated by the reader activates the tags. RFID industry
estimates are that the tags are good for up to 100,000 read cycles and are thus
more durable than the books they would be attached to. Books must be rebound
or replaced every 40 read cycles. Because the tags can be located inside library
materials, they are not subject to wear and tear like barcodes, which are typically
placed on the exterior of library materials.
Persons wishing to steal the item sometimes tear RFID tags out of library
materials. This is also true of barcodes and other methods of item identification.
RFID tags cost more to replace than other forms of item identification.
RFID Equipment: The electronic equipment components of an RFID system,
including both staff and patron checkout stations, check-in readers, and portable
inventory wands (if used) are subject to a normal lifespan for consumer electronic
equipment, and should be placed on a replacement schedule. Presumably this
cycle would be about every five (5) years, though the equipment will likely remain
functional longer than that.
Standards vs. Obsolescence
No technology is immune from eventual obsolescence. The best insurance
against costly premature obsolescence and a need to abandon a system is to
insure that the system complies fully with prevailing industry standards. RFID
standards for libraries are evolving, but the industry does work to insure
backward compatibility as the technology moves forward.
Security and RFID
Using RFID tagging in combination with RFID enabled security gates at the
entrance to the library will provide a measure of security against deliberate theft
of materials.

Survey OF RFID Implementations in Other Libraries
Area libraries that have implemented RFID systems, and to date have received
replies from Frisco, Grapevine, Lewisville, McKinney, and Arlington. A summary
of received surveys is attached.
We asked each library to report:
• The size of their collection
• How long it took to tag the collection
• Whether the system was already in operation, and what date it became active
• Their observations on the differences that RFID made in library operations
• The percent of customers currently using self-service options
• The effect on their staffing levels
Grapevine
The oldest RFID system in the region has been in operation in Grapevine since
June 2001, when they opened their new library. They reported self-service use
initially at 50% and after making several recent procedural changes they expect it
to rise to near 80% by October 2007.
As a result of implementing RFID, the library reduced the need for additional new
employees by three staff positions when they opened the new library. Since the
initial installation the library has been able to eliminate additional positions by
attrition as use of self-service RFID has grown.
Grapevine had a rate of 42,579 transactions per circulation FTE compared to
Smith's 51,896.
Grapevine uses a system manufactured by Checkpoint. It required 14 weeks to
tag their collection of about 150,000 items, using library staff.
McKinney
McKinney's RFID system has been in operation since August 2006. They report
a 22% utilization rate for self-service, but note that they have deliberately not
emphasized use of self-service. McKinney has kept in place a number of
circulation policies that tend to lower the success rate of customers attempting to
use self-service. As a result, they report no changes in staffing levels, but do
claim increased customer satisfaction. McKinney is in the process of installing
another self-service RFID workstation.
8
McKinney took a part-time approach to tagging its collection, and reports that it
required library staff 6 months to tag their 125,000-item collection using their
Checkpoint system.
Arlington
Arlington, with a central library and five branches, is the largest library in north
Texas to have implemented RFID. The system has been in operation since
November 2006. Their director reports dramatic increases in self- service,
ranging from a low of 70% to a high of 89%. As a result of this increased
efficiency, Arlington has been able to reclassify all of its Circulation Assistants
and Reference Assistants into a new role as Customer Service Assistants, with
the goal of providing more direct customer service.
Arlington had an average of 67,778 transactions per circulation FTE despite
being closed for six weeks during relocation.
Arlington purchased a system from 3M. Tagging of their 570,000-item collection
required 9 months, using library staff.
Bedford
Bedford has selected a vendor for its new 40,000 square foot building.
Hurst
Hurst has selected Envisionware.
Frisco
Frisco implemented RFID prior to the opening of their new 50,000 sq. ft. facility.
They report self-service at 40% of total transactions.
Frisco had an average of 82,884 transactions per circulation FTE despite being
closed for six weeks during relocation.
Lewisville
Lewisville implemented RFID in conjunction with the opening of their new library
in 2006. Since the original installation they have made several adjustments in
the arrangements of their self-service workstations to maximize the ease of use.
They report self-service is reaching about 70% self-service at this point.
Prior to the opening of the new library, Lewisville had a ratio of circulation to FTE
staff of 18,028 transactions per paid staff member. With RFID, Lewisville's
9
Circulation desk requires only 2 staff members to be on duty at a time to provide
effective service. This is versus 3 and sometimes 4 staff that was required in the
older facility without RFID.
Lewisville had an average of 69,935 transactions per circulation FTE.
Lewisville was able to tag their collection at a rate of about 60,000 items per
month using newly improved 3M conversion workstations.
Lewisville has added an additional self-checking book drop.
North Richland Hills
In April 2008, North Richland Hills opened its new 59,000 square foot library with
RFID 3M System. They have a 75% self-check out rate. They tagged 175,000
items in twelve weeks.
Rockwall County Library
In September 2008, Rockwall County Public Library opened its new 53,000
square foot library with RFID Checkpoint System. They have 70% self-check
rate. They also have the automatic book drop and report that materials are
checked-in immediately before the patron checks-out materials and leaves the
library.
Other Libraries in the Dallas Fort Worth area
Other libraries in the area that are in the process of moving to RFID are Coppell,
and Denton.
Large Libraries in Texas and RFID
• Arlington has already implemented RFID in all branches of the library.
• Austin plans to implement RFID with the construction of its new central
library, and seeks funding for implementation in their branches.
• Fort Worth —The library reports it is in early stages of planning to move to
RFID, and is currently working to identify all the transition issues
• Houston has installed RFID in its busiest branch, Stella Link. Results were
spectacular, with 85% self-service and high customer satisfaction. Houston
Public Library now plans to install RFID in all facilities, and is seeking funding
to do so.
• San Antonio is the largest library to have just completed an RFID installation
in all 24 buildings. Funding for the implementation is unusual, relying on a 10-
year lease purchase contract with 3M Corporation. They expect the system
to result in increased staff productivity, and greatly increased use of self-
service by the customer.

3MTM RFID Tags
Dimensions
Non-propritary,high quality rewritahle tags from 3M help libraries increase
efficiency and productivity while maintaining security.Each tag contains a memory
chip that can be programmed and reprogrammed with the information needed to
identify library materials.Security status is stored directly on the tag,so there's no
need for a separate server.In addition to being guaranteed for the life of the original
item they're affixed to,tags may only carry the item ID,thus protecting
customer privacy.And because RFID technology eliminates the need for"line of
sight,"checkout and return are simplified for both customers and staff.Tags also
automate sorting,handling and inventory management.Your 3M Sales Consultant
will help you determine the best 3M RFID tag to fit your needs.

CITY OF WYLIE AGENDA REPORT
g
Meeting Date: June 23, 2009 Item Number: WS-2
(City Secretary's Use Only)
Department: Planning
Prepared By: Renae' 011ie Account Code:
Date Prepared: 06/16/09 Budgeted Amount:
Exhibits: Two
Subject
Discussion and direction regarding the City of Wylie Kiosk Program and possible ordinance amendments.
Recommendation
Discussion
The City of Wylie entered into a service contract with National Sign Plazas (NSP) to provide kiosk plazas
within rights-of-way in accordance with Sign Ordinance No. 2008-33 adopted July 22, 2008.
The language of the Service Contract set forth the scope of work to be performed by the Contractor. Since
implementation of the program in 2008, issues regarding design and placement of panels have been discussed.
On April 24, 2009 these concerns were addressed by Council with Staff and the Contractor as follows:
1. Timing of placement of panels
2. Blank panels on the plaza
3. Location of Municipal related panels
4. Incomplete plazas.
During this meeting verbal commitments were offered by the Contractor to address the stated concerns. Because
some of these issues are still ongoing, Staff is requesting further discussion and documented direction on
moving forwarded with the program.
The Contractor has installed blank panels at some locations, but only on those kiosks that are along SH 78 and
FM 544 that they deem "primary" plazas. Clear direction is needed in getting an understanding of how each
plaza should look and function.
There also exists some inconsistency in regards to the color of the blank panels. Some of the panels are black
and represent simply the back side of a leased panel. There are also panels that are covered in a blue vinyl
overlay that matches the leased side of the panel. Some members of Council have expressed a concern of such
inconsistencies. Again, Staff is requesting clear and concise direction of panel design including color that can be
relayed to the Contractor and made part of the file.
Page 1 of 2
Page 2 of 2
Interest in the Kiosk Program in increasing. The Contractor has presented a preliminary map with proposed new
locations for consideration. Although the increase in interest and the potential increase in revenue stream is
great, placement of additional plazas must be controlled. The Ordinance allowed Council the authority to
approve the locations of the plazas, but did not directly address approval process for the location or need of
additional plazas.
Considerations:
1. Council clarification in regards to the type of panels provided on the back of kiosk where no builder has
leased space.
a. Blank blue panels which will cost NSP $250.00 each to manufacture and install and would have to be
removed and discarded when a builder leases space.
b. Blue vinyl backing to the existing panels to match the color of the leased side. However, the downside
of this option would be that the existing panels will have to be taken down and returned to NSP plant for
application and then re-installed in the field.
c. Leave the backs of leased panels exposed (black).
d. As builders lease space that side will eventually fill in.
e. Some plazas will remain one-sided due to location. Some builders are purchasing double-sided, but the
majority are single sided.
2. Permit staff the authority to approve additional locations on an as needed basis, subject to the criteria
outlined in the Ordinance. Planning, Building, Engineering and Public Works must review and approve the
proposed locations prior to erection.
3. Staff has been approached by Woodbridge Development requesting that kiosk plazas be allowed on
privately owned property. The approved Ordinance allows kiosk signs in the public right-of-way only. A
sign on private property would fall under the category of "Off-Premise Sign", which is prohibited by
ordinance.
a. If allowed, the plazas must adhere to the same requirements and criteria as a kiosk plaza placed in the
public right-of-way.
b. A letter of consent from the property owner should accompany the permit application.
c. A Land Lease Agreement between NSP and the Property Owner must be signed and filed with the City
(County?).
4. Service Contract requires NSP to provide at least one city related panel on each plaza. Most of the plazas
along FM 544 and SH 78 have more than one city related panel.
5. Since the implementation of the Kiosk Plaza program, the elimination of bandit type signs has greatly
improved. However, there are still some illegal signs in place. NSP has been working with Code
Enforcement to address such issues in accordance with the Sign Ordinance.
Placement of kiosk plazas on private property—if approved, a Public Hearing will be scheduled to consider and
act upon an Ordinance Amendment to allow kiosk plazas on private property.

CITY OF WYLIE AGENDA REPORT
Meeting Date: June 23, 2009 Item Number: WS-3

Department: Building
Prepared By: M. McAnnally Account Code:
Date Prepared: June 18, 2009 Budgeted Amount:
Exhibits: One
Subject
Discussion and direction regarding amendments to the City of Wylie Sign Ordinance.
Recommendation
Discussion
The Building Department is seeking to update and improve the ordinance regulating sign placement and
construction practices in our jurisdiction.
This pursuit is motivated by:
(1) The economic needs for advertising improvements for our business owners,
(2) To gain significant compliance of poorly maintained or damaged signs by extending the owners an
opportunity to increase display area for sign improvements,
(3) Limited future storm damage to signs or property, and
(4) A desire to promote our community as that of a very business friendly municipality.
The ordinance language allows future projects some of the same benefits in an established ordinance as those
extended to recent project developments without the requirement of the costly variance procedure or the time
consuming independent case by case efforts from the developer and our staff to gain approvals. The
recommendations were taken from the Construction Code Board variance approvals and utilize the simplest and
the best elements of sign regulations from other Texas jurisdictions, resulting in the version of the ordinance
presented for consideration of adoption by Mayor and Council. Our City Attorney's office has been consulted
throughout this ordinance development process and has approved this ordinance and the language thereof
Staff is recommending repeal and replacement of Ordinance No. 2008-33 with revised version of sign ordinance
that promotes improved business advertising through better use of the owner's private property and increased
allowances in sign display area. This provides enhanced public safety by regulating the engineering, design,
construction and placement locations for signage.

SECTION 1: INTENT
A. Signs are an important component of the urban built environment, providing
important information, and directions to community residents and visitors.
However:
1. The uncontrolled proliferation of signs is hazardous to users of streets and
highways within the City of Wylie and will adversely affect the safety and
efficiency of the City's transportation network; and
2. Unless the location, number, setback, lighting, and size of signs are regulated,
the scattering of the signs throughout the City would be detrimental to the
preservation of scenic resources and so to the economic base of the City; and
3. The proliferation of signs in the City has an adverse affect on adjacent
property values; and
4. The orderly and uniform regulation of signs is a substantial factor in guiding
the attractive and aesthetic development of properties in accordance with the
comprehensive plan and thereby avoiding detrimental impacts of signs on the
appearance of the City.
B. Therefore it is the intent of these regulations:
1. To protect the safety and efficiency of the City's transportation network by
reducing the confusion or distraction to motorists and enhancing the
motorist's ability to see pedestrians, obstacles, other vehicles, and traffic
signs;
2. To preserve, protect, and enhance areas of historical, architectural, cultural,
aesthetic, and economic value regardless of whether they are natural or
manmade;
3. To protect the value of adjacent and nearby properties, in particular,
residentially zoned properties from the impact of lighting, size, height,
movement, and location of signs;
4. To enhance the image of the City which is conveyed to tourists and visitors by
controlling the location, number, and size of signs;
5. To integrate sign regulations more effectively with other regulations by
establishing regulations for setbacks, height, and spacing to allow for lighting,
ventilation, and preservation of views in a manner consistent with land uses in
the various zoning districts; and
Ordinance—Wylie Sign Regulations Page 8
549364.v1
6. To preserve and enhance the appearance of the City and the public interest in
aesthetics, and to control and reduce visual clutter and blight.

lightweight rigid or retractable skeleton structure over which a thin cover is attached which may
be of fabric or other materials, and may be illuminated.
Banner means a sign composed of cloth, plastic, paper, canvas or other light fabric.
Building means a structure which has a roof supported by columns, wall or air for the shelter,
support, or enclosure of persons, animal or chattel.

510528-3 3
SECTION 1: INTENT
A. Signs are an important component of the urban built environment,providing
important information, and directions to community residents and visitors.
However:
1. The uncontrolled proliferation of signs is hazardous to users of streets and
highways within the City of Wylie and will adversely affect the safety and
efficiency of the City's transportation network;and
2. Unless the location,number, setback, lighting, and size of signs are regulated,
the scattering of the signs throughout the City would be detrimental to the
preservation of scenic resources and so to the economic base of the City; and
3. The proliferation of signs in the City has an adverse affect on adjacent
property values;and
4. The orderly and uniform regulation of signs is a substantial factor in guiding
the attractive and aesthetic development of properties in accordance with the
comprehensive plan and thereby avoiding detrimental impacts of signs on the
appearance of the City.
B. Therefore it is the intent of these regulations:
1. To protect the safety and efficiency of the City's transportation network by
reducing the confusion or distraction to motorists and enhancing the
motorist's ability to see pedestrians, obstacles, other vehicles, and traffic
signs;
2. To preserve, protect, and enhance areas of historical, architectural, cultural,
aesthetic, and economic value regardless of whether they are natural or
manmade;
3. To protect the value of adjacent and nearby properties, in particular,
residentially zoned properties from the impact of lighting, size, height,
movement,and location of signs;
4. To enhance the image of the City which is conveyed to tourists and visitors by
controlling the location,number,and size of signs;
5. To integrate sign regulations more effectively with other regulations by
establishing regulations for setbacks,height,and spacing to allow for lighting,
ventilation,and preservation of views in a manner consistent with land uses in
the various zoning districts;and
6. To preserve and enhance the appearance of the City and the public interest in
aesthetics,and to control and reduce visual clutter and blight.
