The Mayor convened into Work Session at 6:00 p.m.
• Discussion on authorizing the City Manager to enter into a contract between the City of Wylie, the Town
of St.Paul,and Baron Cook for the provision of sewer services.
City Manager, Biff Johnson provided a brief background on the history of the contract for provision of
sewer services. He stated that in May of 1999, Council had authorized the City Manager to execute an
agreement, however, there were some issues that needed to be clarified prior to proceeding with the
agreement. The issue specifically deals with the Council's intent with regard to provision of sewer
service outside of the city limits. Mr. Baron Cook was also present and explained to Council what he
understood the intent of the agreement to be, which was to provide sewer to 165 acres.
Mr. Cook stated that he has since been approached by the Wylie Independent School District with
regard to an approximate 40 acres tract of land for the proposed Junior High/Intermediate School site.
Mr. Cooks' concerns were that if Council was reconsidering the motion to provide sewer to the 165-acre
site and he proceeds with the school land purchase, would the city still provide sewer to the school and
the remaining 1/2 acre lots. He stated that if the school purchased the land, he would lose approximately
60 acres.
There was considerable discussion on the basis for which Council approved the motion made in May of
1999. The minutes reflect only that an agreement was made to provide sewer services, however, some
remembered that there was discussion on the lot size (3/4 acre lots) which contributed to Council's
decision to approve the agreement. Mr. Cook stated that with 3/4 acre lots, he would have approximately
153 lots and with 1/2 acre lots he would have 210 lots and if he sells to the WISD, approximately 150
lots, or the same density. Mr. Cook felt that what Council approved was the provision of sewer to the
165-acre tract,not the lot size and that the reason for discussion is due to the possibility of the purchase
by the WISD for a future school site.
Mr. Johnson concluded that after direction from Council, he would discuss further with Mr. Cook.
The Mayor then reconvened into Regular Session at 7:00 p.m.
