APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION REAFFIRMING THE REALLOCATION OF
SPRING CREEK PARKWAY FUNDS: The reallocation of Spring
Creek Parkway Funds is for the completion of the Sanden
Blvd. project along with funding the reconstruction of a
section of Brown Street, McCreary Road and other eligible
urban road projects in the City of Wylie.
Councilman Pritzkau wanted to add to the beginning of
Section 3 the following : The City Council respectfully
request that, (etc. ) . I believe a certain amount of respect
is due to these people, and I think it will add to the speed
at which this is taken care of . Councilman Pritzkau said he
has talked with his contacts in the Commissioners Court and
does not believe we will have any problems getting this
done.
Mayor Trimble said he was not in favor of moving the funds
as I want the funds for Spring Creek Parkway.
Mayor Pro Tem Akin stated that he worked on the 1983 Bond
Program that allocated this money for Spring Creek Parkway.
I look at the immediate needs we have on our roads and
hopefully prior to Spring Creek Parkway coming in we will
have the funds to pay this money back. However, with my
experience with the Court, I feel we need to find out when
this comes up at their meeting and as many as possible of
this Council be at that meeting.
Councilman Naish also stated that the Council may want to
add that the remaining funds be used for the widening of
Highway 78 .
Councilman Naish made a motion to approve the Resolution
reallocating the Spring Creek Parkway funds to other areas
within the City of Wylie. Seconded by Councilman Swartz .
Councilman Blakey said he did not have a problem with moving
the funds around to other projects that are needed in the
City, but my problem is that McCreary Road in as much as
that is needed , I feel like we are subsidizing a developers
agreement and I can not support it from that stand point.
Mayor Pro Tem Akin said he feels that Council does not
realize that when we move these funds , we have to reimburse
these funds.
Councilman Messenger said he is in support of this, I think
Spring Creek extension is a long way off . The fact that the
88 bond was defeated and we have other roads that are in
need of repair, and these monies from the 83 bond could help
the people here.
Councilman Naish wanted to know if we couldn' t assess the
people for this . Mayor Pro Tem Akin said yes .
OS f
Councilman Swartz said just as we took $150 ,000 and moved to
Sanden Blvd. , I think it is an immediate need to do
something with Brown and McCreary. Councilman Swartz told
Councilman Blakey that he was absolutely right as far as
getting the money from developers . If you drive out there
on that road and as the people reminded us last week, if
someone is driving that road and gets killed due to the pot
holes, the road needs to be fixed.
Mayor Pro Tem Akin said some may not be aware that there was
a work session out there a few days ago and we patched a lot
of the pot holes. There were a lot of people from Southfork
and some from the City crews that worked that Saturday.
Councilman Pritzkau said if we start making a habit of
moving bond money around, Wylie will start seeing less bond
money from County.
Councilman Messenger said some of us spent five to six
months on the bond committee for the roads and bridges.
Where the funds go depends on the cities that are
represented at the meetings . If we keep participating, I do
not think we will have a problem with future bond money.

called for a vote on the motion to approve the resolution �+

Swartz . The vote was as follows : Mayor Trimble - against,
