A - STREET/ROAD IMPROVEMENTS WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS: Mr .
Clarence Daughtery stated that in the past the City of
Sachse did approach Collin County to do some road work
inside their city. Today the policy is to work only on
roads that will be and are marked as County Thoroughfares.
When County did the road work in Sachse, the city paid for
the materials and the county did the work. Mr . Daughtery
stated that Collin County tried to get Dallas County to work
with them, but it did not work out .
City Manager Charles Norwood stated that the city has
received a letter from Dallas County for an Interlocal
Agreement which would allow Dallas County to come into the
City of Wylie and do road repairs .

Commissioner Jerry Hoagland said that there has been a sub-
committee formed from Commissioners Court to look at the
County policy.
Mayor Pro Tem Naish said the city was trying to get some
road work done, if the city did it on their own, it would
amount to approximately three miles, but if County helped,
we could do approximately nine miles . Mayor Pro Tem Naish
said the city has equipment and manpower , if we can just get
some help on materials .
Mr . Daughtery said the difference is Dallas County is 95%
incorporated cities and Collin County is not.
Mr. Hoagland said in the County you have state highways,
farm to market roads and city streets and county streets,
County is mandated by the State to maintain the county
roads .
City Manager Charles Norwood asked Mr . Hoagland when this
sub-committee would be making recommendations to the
Commissioners Court. Mr . Hoagland said in approximately 30
days.
City Manager Charles Norwood stated his appreciation for
County taking an interest in trying to help and would like
to see the county and city work together on these kind of
projects .
B - JAIL FACILITIES - Mr . Hoagland said he had a discussion
with County Sheriff Terry Box about this project. State
allows him to have 46 prisoners to one guard and the city
jail only houses 26 prisoners. The Sheriff feels one guard
for 26 prisoners is not utilizing his manpower . We will
discuss it with him again.
C. ROAD WORK UNDER THE 1983 COUNTY BOND ELECTION - Mr .
Daughtery said the project for McCreary Road and Brown
Street have had the engineers hired . The engineering on
Brown Street is 45% complete and Brown can be completed with
in six to ten months. After the right of way acquisitions
have been acquired and the utilities have been moved , we
should be able to start the road work in May, 1990 . There
is no right of way work to be done on McCreary Road, need
additional easements because of drainage , we already have
good engineering plans . Construction could be completed by
the time next year , if no problems come up. Mr . Hoagland
said city needed to look at the possibility of getting a
dedicated road right of way instead of an easement on a
section of this road. Mr. Hoagland said the other thing is
the railroad has told us what they want for this crossing ,
but is was based on 22 feet and we need 25 feet. Need to
work on this as soon as possible.

D. - REGULAR MEETINGS WITH COUNTY - City Manager Charles
Norwood wanted to know if the county and city could meet
once a quarter and keep each entity informed of what was
happening and where we were on these two road projects. Mr .
Hoagland said that would be fine with him. The next
meeting was set up for the third Tuesday in January, 1990 at
7 :00 P.M.
There being no other items of business, a motio ,was made to
adjourn with all in favor .
