RANCH EAST ASSOCIATION : Mr . Feivor thanked the Mayor and

lived in Wylie Ranch East about one and one—half years . Mr .
Feivor said that City Manager Gus Pappas had visited with
the Wylie Ranch East Association and discussed annexation
and water and sewer and the road problems with them . Mr .
Feivor said that City Manager Gus Pappas come to this
meeting after they had learned that the streets did not
belong to the County but had been dedicated to the City of
Wylie some time ago . Mr . Feivor said that there were a
few questions he would like to ask. This subdivision is on
the East Fork Water Supply and on septic systems . What time
frame will it be before the services are completed to this
area from the City? City Manager Gus Pappas said if you
were to annex into the City , if you are on septic tank you
can stay on this system as long as you wish . There is a
charge of a minimum sewer rate which each property owner
would have to pay . Sewer is across the street and you can
tap onto this line as soon as you are annexed and want to .
As far as the cost of tapping onto the sewer line , the City
would estimate the cost and extend a payment plan over a
brief period of time for each property owner who wanted to
do it that way . The City would not force you to join these
services immediately .
Mr . Feivor said that on the road situation , City Manager Gus
Pappas said something about getting our money together .
City Manager Gus Pappas said the only thing the City can do
for the road right now is to patch them and get these roads
on the street program for reconstruction . At the time the
roads are reconstructed , there will be individual contracts
for each property owner on their portion of the road .
Mr . Feivor wanted to know if this subdivision annexed into
the City of Wylie , would these streets be through streets
into the adjoining subdivision . City Manager Gus Pappas
said if the property owners wanted these streets to connect
with the other subdivision , then the City would see that it
was done . If the property owners do not want through
streets , then the City would leave them as they are .
Mr . Feivor wanted to know how long before these streets
would be done . City Manager Gus Pappas said that would be
up to the people . If the Council agrees and the people are
ready to pay then there is a chance they would be done this
year .
Mr . Feivor said he wanted Council to know that this
subdivision was not corning just for a hand out for their
23
JLieeLb . Mr . Feivor thanked the Mayor and Council again for
this time .
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF INCREASE IN COMPENSATORY PAY FOR
MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL . This is the appropriate time for
this matter to be handled by the Council with the election
just ahead of us . According to our Charter , if an increase
is approved now , only those places which pass through the
election process this April will receive the increase ,
places up for election in 1987 will receive the increase in
197 . Currently , the Mayor receives S150 . 00 for general
expense and $50 . 00 for car expenses for a total of ` 200 . OU
per month . The Councilmembers currently receive $ 100 . 00 for
general expenses and $25 . 00 for car expenses for a total of
