The Wylie City Council met in a called work shop on Tuesday,
May 10 , 1988 at 6 :30 P .M. in the City Manager' s Conference

Council Members John Akin, Kent Crane, Marvin Blakey , Chris
DiTota, City Manager John Pitstick, City Secretary Carolyn
Jones , Finance Director James Johnson, Code Enforcement
Officer Roy Faires, newly elected Council Members Ortie
Messenger , Bud Naish and Candidate in run off election Jim
Swartz . Mayor Pro Tem Sandra Donovan and Councilman Cal
Westerhof were absent .
Mayor Trimble called the work shop to order.
City Manager John Pitstick stated that this was a discussion
time for the items that would be coming up on the agenda at
the meeting tonight and if there were any questions, he
would like to go over them at this time .
1 . Private Club Ordinance - City Manager John Pitstick said
with the new State Laws , the city does not have the control
over private clubs and our ordinance should be repealed.
The States controls all private clubs unless the sale of
food drops under 75% . Councilman Akin feels that the
Council has the wrong intent from this State Law.
Councilman Akin also stated that he had tried to get in
touch with our state representatives, but had not been able
to get a call back from him. Code Enforcement Officers, Roy
Faires stated that in the new state law, any area that you
permit a restaurant, you also have to permit a private club
if the owner so desires. Mayor Trimble said it started out
with State controlling private clubs , then moved to City' s
having control and now it is back to State having control .
This has come about because City' s are making such strict
ordinances that it is hard to open up a club. Councilman
Crane wanted to know if you could set up specific zoning for
restaurants and have the same requirements of the private
club ordinance.
2 . New Use for Indoor Shooting Range - Someone has come to
staff wanting a shooting range. This ordinance only creates
a category.
3. Replat of Tract 5 Butler Estates - This is in the City of
Wylie' s ETJ and our subdivision ordinance can be applied.
476
It is a 9 acre tract being divided into a 4 acre and 5 acre
tracts . The road is a private road and County would not
accept it until it is brought up to their standards .
Planning and Zoning said if the road is ever dedicated to
the City it has to be brought up to City standards.
4. Preliminry Plat for Canterbury Hill - This item has been
pulled at the request of the developer.
5 . Proposed rate request from BFI - BFI is recommending a
7 .9% rate increase and under the contract if they remain
under 8% increase Council has to grant this . Staff is
recommending on the advice of our City Attorney, to have BFI
waive the 2.66% difference in the actual rate adjustment for
ever, then there should be no problem with the increase.
This 2 .66% can not be used in the future. City is losing
money now, by the time we pay one employee to take care of
setting up and billing, we are not breaking even.
Councilman DiTota wanted to know if once a year we could
request that BFI pick up large items such as appliances.
City Manager John Pitstick said we could ask them. Mr .
Larry Appel , from BFI , said if two (2) men can pick up any
item, we do it now at no charge.
There being no other discussion, Mayor Trimble adjourned the
workshop.
