PRESENTATION FOR NATIONAL HALF TIME (SUMMER YOUTH PROGRAM) :
This presentation was given by Mr . Bill Windham, Public
Works Director for the City of Wylie. The National Half
Time is a summer youth program and would like to come to
Wylie this year. This has been before the Park and
Recreation Board and they have asked me to come before
Council to ask for the fee for the Community Room be set
aside for their sign up and trial day. This program will
begin June 13th and run through the summer. The National
Half Time will not cost the City anything , and if they take
in more than $200 .00 the City will be given a percentage.
Councilman Akin wanted to know if the Council set aside the
fee, will this set a pattern for other . City Manager James
Johnson said not for this type of program.
PRESENTATION BY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE DIRECTOR JAMES BUTTS ON
A SUMMER RECREATION PROGRAM: This discussion came up last
year when the City was trying to get a program started . It
is a four week program and will be centered at the Park
Pavilion. Kids would bring their own sack lunch, but the
196
camp would provide their cold drinks . The City of Allen has
a similar program and have had very good luck with it .
There is a $5 .00 registration fee. The Chamber is hoping
that the City can provide $3, 140 .00 to help with the
salaries . Councilman Akin wanted to know if the Chamber has
contacted the school for some support . Mr . Butts said they
are going to try and give us a bus one day a week for field
trips but cannot help with the salaries . Councilman
Westerhof wanted to know if the Chamber was going to assist
with the salaries . Mr . Butts said no, the Chamber did not
have any money. The Chamber thought about a higher fee, but
thought it would hurt the attendance . WSA has been involved
with the planning of this and is going to let us use some of
their equipment . Mayor Pro Tem Donovan said she would
contact the school and see if they wouldn' t help with the
salaries .

AUTHORIZATION FOR CITY STAFF TO PROCEED WITH THE HIGHWAY
BEAUTIFICATION PROJECT WITH SOME GRANT MONEY FROM THE STATE:
Mr . Bill Windham stated a little over a year ago this
program was started. Staff made application to Highway
Department but they sent it back because they felt there was
not enough room for the trees and the improvements to
Highway 78 . The State does not want the Crape Myrtle trees , -- .
since this type of tree takes a lot of water . Staff has
estimated some 625 trees which would go along Highway 78
some 2 3/4 miles . Staff also proposes to use some Crape
Myrtle, Bradford Pear and Cedar Elm trees and will place
19 7
them 50 feet apart and on both sides of the highway. Mr .
Windham stated that he felt the variety and placement of
trees will satisfy the State. Councilman DiTota wanted to
know where the prices of the trees came from. Mr . Windham
said that Mr. Ron Homeyer called Nortex Nursery just for
some kind of estimate on cost . Councilman Ditota wanted to
know if we would go out for bids and send this to the State.
Councilman Crane wanted to know if we matched the
$25,000 .00 . Mr. Windham said yes , we could go out for bids ,
and that the City had to match the $25 ,000 . but could do
this through services such as the laborer and equipment cost
for watering , mowing , and planting . Motion was made by
Councilman Akin to grant authorization to proceed with the
Highway Beautification project . Seconded by Mayor Pro Tem
Donovan. The vote was as follows: Mayor Trimble - in
favor , Mayor Pro Tem Donovan - in favor , Councilman Akin -
in favor, Councilman Westerhof - in favor, Councilman DiTota
- in favor , Councilman Crane - in favor , and Councilman
Blakey - in favor . This motion carried with all in favor .
UTILITY EASEMENT FOR MUNICIPAL COMPLEX SITE: Mr . Baron Cook
stated on his last meeting with Texas Power & Light that he
was told there was a need for an easement in order to get
temporary power to the new City complex . Mrs . Cook' s
engineers have proposed a storm drainage pipe to collect
water drainage, the problem with this is that concrete has
already been poured over this area. City Manager James
Johnson stated that Speed Fab-Crete did not recognize the
NTMWD water easement and poured over it. Mr . Santry said
this storm drainage could go out into part of the highway
easement. Mr . Santry said that Mr . Cook is going through
the platting procedure but Speed Fab-Crete is pushing for
the power and this easement is needed now. Mr . Cook said we
are asking for Council to sign exhibit B in order to get
temporary power to the new complex site. Motion was made by
Councilman Westerhof to approve the utility easement .
Seconded by Councilman Akin. The vote was as follows:
Mayor Trimble - in favor , Mayor Pro Tem Donovan - in favor ,
Councilman Akin - in favor , Councilman Westerhof - in favor,
Councilman DiTota - in favor , Councilman Crane - in favor ,
and Councilman Blakey - in favor . This motion carried with
all in favor .
TEMPORARY WATER LINE AND OVERSIZING IN NEWPORT HARBOR: Mr .
Baron Cook said this property is located on FM 1378 and is
the Newport Harbor Addition. Mr . Cook said Mr . Moussa and
himself has given the City an acre of land for a water tank
site to supply this area with water and will loop with the
existing system. These plans have been approved for
construction and water and sewer lines are in. The problem
we have now is there is no water and we need to test the
lines and lay the streets . NTMWD has not granted the other
delivery point , although we do not think this is going to be
a problem. Mr. Cook stated that he was asking for a
198
temporary water line from Lake Ranch Estates in order to get
water to his subdivision. Mr . Cook also stated that he did
not believe there would be a home ready to be lived in prior
to September or October of this year. Mr . Cook also stated
that he had talked with Wylie Northeast Water Supply and
they had agreed for him to have a temporary line coming down
from the North instead of going to Lake Ranch Estates .
Councilman Westerhof asked about the cost estimates for
going to Lake Ranch Estates . Mr . Cook said approximately
$25 ,000 . City Manager James Johnson said that staff does
not have a feel on the time schedule on bringing this new
delivery point on line. City Manager James Johnson said
that staff and Council does have a meeting Thursday night
with NTMWD and we hope to have some answers then. Mayor Pro
Tem Donovan wanted to know if the motion could state that if
time was right, we could tell him not to go north. Mr .
Santry said until staff had time to go over these figures ,
staff would have no recommendations. These oversizings are
usually done when a subdivision is completed and accepted by
Council . Motion was made by Mayor Pro Tem Donovan to set
a date of May 1, 1987 for approving temporary water line up
north, and to table oversizing of lines. Seconded by
Councilman Blakey. The vote was as follows : Mayor Trimble
- in favor, Mayor Pro Tem Donovan - in favor, Councilman
Akin - in favor, Councilman Westerhof - in favor, Councilman
DiTota - in favor, Councilman Crane - in favor, and
Councilman Blakey - in favor . This motion carried with all
in favor .
CITIZEN PARTICIPATION: Mayor Trimble asked that each person
wishing to speak keep his/her time to within two minutes .
Mr . John Pierrel of 604 Stoneybrook Dr. I am a parent , tax
payer , and student , in the last year to year and a half I
have become involved with the City. I would like for you to
think that each of you are on a multi-million dollar board,
you must merit standards and seek for help in running your
plant . You find out EPA has contacted the contractor that
is running your plant now and has been told you will be
fined for not being in compliance. You come along with a
new board and you hire this same contractor back that has
gotten you into trouble. Do you think your stock holders
would uphold this . What I am trying to get over to you is
NTMWD is fine for a water company, but their history of
performance with the sewer treatment plant with the City of
Wylie has been substandard. They let the plant run down, I
submit to you to even consider to go with them to run the
plant is irresponsible . Mr . Mayor , you are a CPA, if a
company does not comply would you do business with them.
The people of Wylie will pay the bill for the treatment
plant. What you have proposed in the consent agenda item 4E
is totally irresponsible . We might as well name the City of
Wylie - North Texas Municipal Water District, Thank you.
199
Mr . Gus Pappas of 6 Riverview Court . I am a registered
voter and property owner , most of you are aware since your
decision of my terminations I have made no comment from your
events of the City. I regret your decision for not choosing
to have some time with me prior to my termination. Mr.
Johnson has seen the necessity to contact me on several
things that were going on when I left . I think that Mr .
Johnson will tell you I have cooperated with him. I took my
termination as my term here being over since you have the
right to choose who you want to run your City. I regret not
being able to see some of the things that have been started
completed. I think that while I may not have been the
manager you wanted I was the choice of Councils who preceded
you.
I have been asked to turn my head . I have been accused of
taking money from Southfork, to Mr . Crane by Mr . Cooper. My
attorney said it is liable . Today in a newspaper in our
City, a direct quote was made by one Councilmember, Sandra
Donovan , it stated that Gus Pappas and some other people
initialized the recall petition. I did not do this. This
is a lie and I did not sign the petition nor did I attend
any of the meetings , even your City Manager James Johnson
signed this petition , but I did not sign it . Nor have I
helped the committee, fold, staple or mail anything for
them. The only thing that I have done is to serve
information that some citizens who had served on the Council
and knew what to ask for did . Some of the staff are being
punished for doing their job. I come to you to tell you
this article does jeopardize my chance of going to another
City and I am forced to take action to keep this from coming
about . I want a retraction in next weeks paper , if I do not
get this, I will proceed with defending my reputation. I do
not think Mr . Trimble that you would not like it if someone
accused you of cheating .
I am proud of calling Mrs . Jones a friend of mine. It has
come to my attention that Mr. Johnson addressed Mrs . Jones
about how she should conduct herself at Church. I trust
that this is not a very credible thing to do. I do not
believe Mrs . Jones felt comfortable telling you about this
and I felt you should know.
Councilman DiTota asked if Mr . Pappas wanted the retraction
from Council or who. Mr . Pappas said the quote came from
Mrs . Donovan and that is who should make the retraction
publicly using the same media she chose to use for her
quote . Fire us if you want, but don' t dam us to hell .
Thank you.

Council of the Thursday evening meeting and also a meeting

receiving a petition for the damages to the road for the off
200
site water line from the County. Council needs to discuss

AMOUNT OF $15 ,374 .20 : This partial draw is for the work
being done at the Nortex Ground Storage Tank site and staff
is withholding the 10% until the job is completed. Part of
our problem in completing this job is that the supplier has
not been able to deliver parts as he said he could. Mayor
Trimble asked how long it had been delayed and Mr. Santry
said approximately 45 days . Councilman Akin wanted the
cost figures of what the Nortex Tank Site has cost so far .
