Preliminary Plans - Paving Oak Street from Fifth Street (east 253 feet) .
I. W. Santry had eight (8) paving plans for this area ranging from
$15,161 to $20,231. After discussing these plans, and after Mayor Pro
Tem Akin brought up the fact that Tim Hemingway and Don Kreymer had not
gotten together with what part of the paving they would pay. The Council
thought best to table this paving project until a later date. Motion
was made by Mayor Pro Tem Akin to table the paving of Oak Street for
253 feet to Fifth Street until all questions had been answered and all
problems studied and worked out. Seconded by Councilman Adams, all in
favor.
Construction plans for South Second Street. The City will pay the excess
over 27 feet of the 36 foot street, and a portion of the bridge. On
the north end of South Second the cost will be split between property
owners, developers and the City.
Joe George said he was willing to pay 75% of the cost to the three
property owners if they would not pay. The City's approximate cost will
be $25,112.07 for street and bridge. Motion was made by Mayor Pro Tem
Akin to approve construction plans with the stipulation that no con-
struction work begin until all easement agreements with the three (3)
property owners have been signed. Seconded by Percy Simmons, all in
favor.
Approval of replat of portions of Westwind Meadows II. There is a
pipeline in the original plans for this alley way. The company which
F n 47
owns the pipeline will not allow pavement on top of their line. In
order to accommodate the paving of the alley, it will have to be moved
to the south side of the original plans. The alley will be 26 feet
wide instead of 20 feet wide. Planning & Zoning recommended this change.
Motion was made to approve the replat of Westwind Meadows by Mayor Pro
Tem Akin. Seconded by Councilman Hughes, all in favor.
Mutual Fire Suppression Aid Agreement with Royse City, Nevada, Josephine
and Farmersville and Second Agreement with the City of Parker. These
two agreements were tabled until Mayor Squires could talk with the
cities involved and find out a little more in detail about these agree-
ments. Motion made to table by Councilman Hughes, seconded by Council-
man Simmons, all in favor.
Authorization to start preparing standard construction drawings for
the City of Wylie. At the present time the developers are using
drawings from other cities and I. W. Santry has to go over each one
and make the changes for our City requirements. If I. W. Santry was
given the authority to draw up these construction drawings, it would
save him time and the City money on engineering cost. I. W. Santry
would have the master to the plans and would made copies available
to the developers. Motion was made for I. W. Santry to prepare a
standard construction drawings for the City of Wylie by Mayor Pro
Tem Akin. Seconded by Councilman Martin, all in favor.
Budget Review and Financial Status. Mayor Squires made note that the
revenue was coming in and General Fund and Utility Fund are not in
bad shape. General Fund has loaned to the Park Fund and the Water
and Sewer Revenue Bond Sinking and Interest Fund.
Mayor asked for a Park Fund analysis as soon as possible. Mayor
also requested a cash flow for the next Council meeting and to have
it as one of the first items on the agenda.
Mayor Squires wants to talk with N. T. M. W. D. about the landfill
problems. Mayor would like to go to Austin and to N. T. M. W. D.
with the possibility of re-opening the City landfill . The City' s
old landfill seems to be in much better shape than N.T.M.W.D. ;
therefore, the Mayor would like to know why the City's landfill was
closed and what it would take to re-open it. Mayor Pro Tern Akin
felt the City was operating within the agreement of their permit.
Mayor Pro Tem feels the burden of proof as to the closing of the
City's landfill is on the State. Mayor Pro Tem Akin feels the
City's landfill was closed because of politics with N.T.M.W.D.
Private Clubs. Mayor Pro Tem Akin feels the location of this
restaurant along with the parking space would be very poor taste
to allow a private club. Mayor Squires said the City had requested
to be a dry community and felt it was the duty of the Council to
uphold the Citizens wishes. Mayor Pro Tem Akin made the motion to
adopt a resolution against the Private Club. Seconded by Councilman
Martin, all in favor.
Purchase two flat files and cap and one hanging file for engineering
drawings. It was decided that one set of building plans be submitted
for a building permit and after all permit have been issued the
set of plans may be picked up by the builder. This would eliminate
a lot of paper from City Hall . Even by doing this the flat and
hanging files are needed for all the developed areas. Motion was
made by Mayor Pro Tem Akin to purchase these files. Seconded by Council-
man Adams. Four Councilman were in favor, one Councilman substained.
Semi-annual Payment to Wylie Volunteer Fire Department. This is
payment for fire calls and meetings which amounts to $3,014. Mayor
Pro Tem Akin made the motion to authorize payment to the Fire
Department. Seconded by Councilman Simmons, all in favor.
Mayor Squires requested letters be typed for paving agreements for
Memorial and Mardi Gras. Mayor Squires is going to hand carry these
letters and contracts.
Mayor Squires feels Akin Lane is not resolved on easements and that
no culverts and back drives be allowed.
Raymond Cooper asked to address the Council . Mr. Cooper feels the
newspaper was very harsh toward him. He said in the beginning he
offered a portion of his land to the City for Akin Lane. No one from
City Hall would respond. Now the City has come in and taken it upon
themselves to cut down trees. Mr. Cooper asked that the Council go
out on site to Akin Lane and try to work this problem out. Mr. Cooper
said he was willing to cooperate and do his part with the City and
improve Akin Lane. Mayor Pro Tem Akin feels the City should go out
to the site of Akin Lane and try to solve this problem. The Council
agreed to go to Akin Lane at the next meeting and try to work out
some solution.
New owner of Lakeside Village Apartments, Mr. Rucker Lewis came in
to City Hall . Mr. Lewis would like to lay sewer storm pipe in
the ditch along Birmingham, cover the pipe with dirt and then plant
hedges. Council feels that I. W. Santry should look this site over
and report back to Council .
Council Hughes made a motion to adjourn, sec 0-d by Councilman
Martin, all in favor. /
