PRESENTATION FROM FREEMAN-MILLICAN , INC. _ ON LAND USE
ASSUMPTIONS AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN: Mr . Roy Faires
stated that the Land Use Assumptions was done with a 7%
growth rate , which would double our population within the
next ten years .
Mr . Terry Millican of Freeman -Millican stated that his firm
had been working over the past several months on the land
use and capital improvements plan. In accordance with the
law you must define the service area for your City Limits,
and it does not include your E.T.J.
The purpose of the land use assumptions is governed by
Chapter 395 (formerly Senate Bill 336) of the Texas Local
Government Code. This prescribes the process by which
cities in Texas must formulate development impact fees.
This will assist the city in determining the need and timing
of capital improvements to serve future development, a
reasonable estimation of future growth is needed. It is the
purpose of this report to document the methodology used for
102
preparing the growth and land use assumptions for City of
Wylie' s Impact fee service area. These assumptions will
become the basis for the preparation of impact fee capital
improvement plans for water and wastewater facilities.
LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS: The land use same as existing master
plan, with 7% population growth rate, compounded annually,
with population for 1990 being 9 ,691 and estimated
population in 2000 being 18 ,697.
WATER SYSTEM: The existing system is adequate for current
population except the city is 250,000 gallons short on
elevated tank capacity. The Western water system ( (serving
Southfork Mobile Home Park) must be connected to main
portion of distribution system. Construction required to
accommodate ten year growth is 750,000 gallon elevated
storage reservoir, 5000 ,000 gallon ground storage reservoir
at Steel Road Pump Station and add pump to Steel Road Pump
Station, and the extension of water lines some 117,600 L .F.
of 8" through 12" .
WASTEWATER SYSTEM: Existing system is adequate for current
population provided projects under design/construction are
completed. The construction required to accommodate ten
year growth is sewer line extensions - 61 ,500 L.F. of 6"
through 15" and increase capacity of following life
stations: Muddy Creek Lift Station and Rush Creek Lift
Station and to build two new lift stations .
CONSTRUCTION COST OF NEW FACILITIES PLUS ALLOCATABLE PORTION
OF EXISTING FACILITIES: Water System has a total cost of
$3 ,473 ,173 . with cost per new Living Unit Equivalent (LUE)
$1,013 . (with no interest expense) . The wastewater system
has a total cost of $2 ,853 ,163. with cost per New Living
Unit Equivalent (LUE) $755 (with no interest expense) .
Councilman Hughes wanted to know if this firm had taken into
consideration that the City of Wylie crosses over into
another water district . Mr . Millican said we did not put in
anything to purchase a water district or a factor for your
being in another water district .
Mr . Keith Reed of Reed and Stowe stated that part of the
project was to calculate the cost of keeping up with the 7%
growth. Impact fees should take care of what it cost for
future growth. In the past the City has collected Impact
fees up front from the builder but for future you will need
funding up front which will come from bonds, certificates of
obligation, etc. Our capital improvements plan shows a bond
sale for water system in 1991 for $1 ,325, 758; in 1994 for
$731 ,743 ; and in 1997 for $1,263 ,664 ; and for wastewater —�
system bonds sales in 1991 for $877 ,824; in 1994 for
$736 ,620 and in 1997 for $205,200. The max on the water
impact fee is $1 ,267 and max on wastewater impact fee is
10
$957 . This is the max it does not mean Council has to
collect this fee. Growth that is taking place will pay for
the debt service on bonds . City Manager Charles Norwood
wanted to know if this could be put on a ten year payout
instead of 20 year . Mr . Reed said yes, it can be computed
on 10 years . City Manager Charles Norwood said if the
Council does not adopt the max will the utility customers be
paying for future growth. Mr . Reed said yes.
Mr . Reed stated that the law does not allow for these impact
fees to be used for up grading a system or re-laying a old
section of line. Impact Fees can be collected for water ,
wastewater, drainage and streets. This capital improvements
plan is for water and wastewater only.
Mr . Reed also stated that the advisory committee has to file
a written report to the Council every 6 months . If this
report shows anything above or below what was projected ,
then the advisory committee will make a recommendation to
Council for increase or decreasing the impact fee. The
Council can look at the program every three years to see if
it needs to be amended in any way.
Mr . Terry Millican stated that the State Law says there are
two hearings, both hearings can be held close together .
Have a public hearing notice published on May 12th if you
want to hold your hearing on June 12th. Also have to have
an ordinance and we suggest your attorney write this
ordinance. Advisory Committee has to write a letter to the
Council with recommendations and this has to be done five
days prior to the hearing date.
Councilman Hughes wanted to know if this would do away with
the old ordinance. City Manager Charles Norwood said do
away with the old ordinance and adopt a new ordinance.
APPROVAL OF PUBLIC HEARING DATE OF JUNE 12 , 1990 FOR LAND
USE ASSUMPTIONS AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN AND PROPOSED
IMPACT FEE: A motion was made by Councilman Akin to approve
June 12 , 1990 as the public hearing date for Land Use
Assumption and Capital Improvements Plan and Proposed Impact
Fee. Seconded by Councilman Wright. The vote was as

favor, Councilman Akin - in favor , Councilman Martin - in

difference of $359,384 for the reconstruction of Brown a '_
McCreary. The County has said they will not allocate any
more funds to this project . City Manager Charles Norwood

see how the bids come in. If bids are higher than funds
allocated , the we will have to make a decision. The staff
has cleared the R-O-W for both roads.
APPROVAL OF ACCIDENT AND SICKNESS PROPOSAL FOR VOLUNTEER
FIRE DEPARTMENT: City Manager Charles Norwood stated that
the Council met with Larry Allen and Steve Bigsbee on an
accident sickness policy for the volunteer fireman. The
City currently has a workers compensation policy that covers
the volunteer firemen and a supplement policy. Both of
these policies only pay $140 .00 per week. This new policy
which will be in addition to the two existing policies will
provide better coverage and pay if a firemen is injured on
duty. The proposed policy has an annual premium of
$2 ,840 .00 based on thirty (30) volunteer firemen. Staff
recommends approval of this policy. Councilman Hughes

policy. City Manager Charles Norwood said the Council met
with the fire department and this is the policy they
recommended to Council at that meeting.

to address the Council to come forward at this time and
state their name and address for the record and to keep
their comments to within five minutes.
Mark Rumenapp of 334 S. First St . said the flooding problem
on First Street had to be addressed . I have been a resident
for seven (7) years and it has not come into my house but it
has gotten into our vehicles. I would like for something to
be done in the near future. Mr. James Johnson said he had
taken a look at this after this last rain, and that the dirt -•.
has washed away from the concrete. There is something we
can do. City Manager Charles Norwood said we are in the
process of hiring a new Engineer and this will be his first
project .

into spraying for the mosquitoes, with this record setting
rain fall our city as well as other cities are going to have
a problem with the mosquitoes. Councilman Akin also said
that we need to look at the high weed ordinance and get the
plan started . City Manager Charles Norwood said our plan
this is year is to have the judge notified that the person
has been in court prior to this on high weeds and she will
take this into consideration when she set the fine.
Councilman Wright said he would like to pull item 18 from
the agenda.
Councilman Hughes said our ordinance and Charter states we

to catch the new members up on what is happening and going
on.

city. City Manager Charles Norwood said he was waiting on a
call from them and as soon as staff has an answer , it will
be sent to Council .
