CALLED CITY COUNCIL
MEETING - MINUTES
JUNE 18, 1990
The City of Wylie City Council met on Monday, June 18 , 1990
at 7 :00 P.M. in the Council Conference Room of the Municipal
Complex . A quorum was present and notice of the meeting had
been posted in the time and manner required by law. Those
present were Mayor John Akin, Mayor Pro Tem Don Hughes,
Council Members Pat Stemple , Chuck Wible , William Martin,
Percy Simmons and Steve Wright, City Secretary Carolyn
Jones , Public Works Superintendent Don White, Public Works
Director/Engineer Paul Beaver , and Finance Director James
Johnson .
Mayor Akin called the meeting to order and called on Mr .
White for a presentation on the Wastewater Collection System
Improvements. Mr . White stated that the new line from the
community park to Twin Lakes Subdivision will be a gravity
flow line and this will also eliminate the park lift
station, enlarge the lift station in Twin Lakes Subdivision
and pump through a force main to Allanis Rd. and gravity
flow from there to the treatment plant . There is also a new
15% line between the Hospital and Wylie Butane Mobile Home
Park and a parallel 15" line from Fleming St . to Treatment
plant. Another phase of these improvements will come from
Sanden Blvd. to Steel Road Industrial Park and also from
Sanden Blvd. up to South Fork Mobile Home Park. This line
will eliminate three (3) lift stations . Council also needs
to look at the line from Newport Harbor down to the lift
station on FM 544 . The money for this line is in the bonds
that were sold, but the line itself has not been finalized
for construction. There was talk of going with San Antonio
Savings and Loan and coming through the Birmingham Land, but
this has not come about as of this date, the other
alternative is to come down FM 1378 to Presidential Estates,
but this would have to be a lift station and force main .

130
the bill to Water Tank Service Co. , had already been paid. ,..
Mr. Johnson said yes, I called the members of the council
that I could get and asked if I could go ahead and pay in
order to pay in accordance with our contract . Councilman
Wright said if paid by telephone poll , then the item should
have been taken off the agenda . Mr . Johnson stated that the

give an okay to pay. When the Council agreed to the

time.

AUTHORIZATION FOR STAFF TO CITY BIDS FOR REPAIR WORK AT RUSH
CREEK LIFT STATION: Mr . Don White stated that staff has
discovered the breakers have been tripping and the motors
are not working properly. I called Sunset, but they are out
of business and this is where these pumps come from. This
lift station has been operating on one pump for some time, I A..,
presented a memo to the prior city manager requesting to
seek bids for repair work about three weeks ago. Today the
pumps are just barely working . Mr . White said he was afraid
this pump is going out and we will have a lot of problems at
that time. This pump is running approximately 23 hours out
of each day . Mr . White asked the Council if he could get
three quotes on these repairs and begin work within a few
days, or did council want to go the regular bid route which
would take approximately 14 days to seek bids and then
review the bids and bring back to council for award of bid.
This would take some time to do. Motion was made by
Councilwoman Stemple to declare this an emergency and seek
quotes for repairs on Rush Creek Lift Station due to public
heath threat and to begin work as soon as possible.
Seconded by Councilman Wright . The vote was as follows :
Mayor Akin - in favor , Mayor Pro Tem Hughes - in favor,
Councilman Wible - in favor, Councilman Martin - in favor ,
Councilman Wright - in favor , Councilwoman Stemple - in
favor, and Councilman Simmons - in favor. This motion
carried with all in favor .
