The City Council met in special call session at 5:30 p.m. on
March 2, 1982 in the Council Chamber at City Hall . Mayor John W. Akin
presided. A quorum was present and notice of the meeting had been
posted for the time and in the manner required by law. Those in
attendance were the Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem William Martin, Council mem-
bers Reta Allen, Harold Eavenson, and Geline Dodd. Councilman Bill
Berry was absent. Also present were City Manager Lee Vickers and
City Secretary Gail Wallace.
The invocation was given by Mayor Akin.
The City Council unanimously authorized the City Manager to invite
bids for plumbing fixtures for the concession/restroom building at
Wylie Community Park. City Manager advised he had talked with Van' s
Plumbing who stated they could put the fixtures in before March 27,
the date set for the Park dedication. Bids for the plumbing fixtures
will be requested for the March 9 regular Council meeting. Estimated
cost is $2,200 - $2,300.
The City Manager advised he was receiving bids for three portable
bleacher stands similar to those at the schools.
Kenneth White, Collin County Agriculture Extension Agent, contacted
City Manager regarding fire ant control . He advised there would be
no aerial spraying of ants. His office will work with cities in
distributing one pound bags for use by the residents. The City
Manager asked Mr. White to reserve 2,000 pounds for Wylie. The
City Council unanimously approved the fire ant control program for
Wylie.
The City Manager expressed concern that if the Wylie airport becomes
a reality, the Collin County Thoroughfare plan as presently designed
may interfere with the airport runway in the future. He advised
Council to make the Collin County Commissioners aware of this problem
and add it their list of priorities.
The City Manager advised that Harold Spence had run into problems
obtaining the final eight acres of land which was planned for part
of his subdivision. Mr. Spence indicated he is considering installing
his own lift station for his subdivision. Without Mr. Spence' s support
on the lift station the City had planned to install as a result of the
proposed subdivisions in the Wylwood area, he could not recommend the
installation of the new lift station.
Cost estimates for completing the cemetery road have not been received
from Clarence Daugherty's engineer. The City Council insisted that
Don Kreymer and Tim Hemingway must pay 1/3 of the cost to improve the
road for their subdivision. Also since the street in their subdivision
is below the flood plain, the Council suggested putting the flood
elevation on the building permits and posting a sign to the entrance
of the subdivision warning of street flooding.

The City Manager advised Council that when Wylwood V final plats
were approved, they would need to get bids to buy the pipe to ..•,
install the water and sewer lines. He also advised that if the
new lift station is not built, it would be necessary to reroute
the force main in that area. Council expressed approval of policy
of cooperative purchasing.
A panel of judges selected the top three logo's to be included
on the April 3, 1982 ballot.
The Council recessed into Executive Session with motion made by
Reta Allen, seconded by Harold Eavenson, all in favor, in

sonnel matters.
The Council returned to public session and City Manager was called
back to the meeting. Mayor Akin expressed the appreciation of the
Council for the good work done by the Manager during the past two
years. The Council awarded the Manager a merit increase and
instructed him to submit an "employment agreement" for Council
consideration at the next regular meeting.
