COUNCIL: Staff recommends lowering the water rates by $2 . 31
and sewer pass through rates by $2 . 69 . This would be a
total savings of $5 .00 per month on a utility bill. This

First Southwest . Mr . Medanich stated the City could do the
following to reduce water rates. Of the 1990 $3 ,500 ,000
bond fund , place $1,000, 000 in the Interest and Sinking Fund
account to draw interest at an annual rate of 8% per year .
this would generate $80 ,000 per year . The other option
would be to use certain amounts of the principal which is
$1 ,000,000 . $175,000 annually could be transferred into the
Utility Fund out of the principal bond amount to offset the
loss of revenue by lowering all water and sewer bills by
$5 .00 per month. A motion was made by Councilman Simmons to

rates by $5 . 00 per month per customer . Seconded by

County:
Dear Mr . Beckham:
This letter is to clarify the purpose of Resolution 91-2-12-
91 passed on February 12 , 1991 by the Wylie City Council
which requires the owners of proposed Newport Harbor Phase
II to remit to the City $150 ,000 prior to any hookup to the
transmission line during initial development.
312
The primary purpose of the project is to eliminate a pump & -�-
haul situation from 88 Phase I lots and is mandated by the
Texas Water Commission.
The proposed 177 Phase II lots will provide 2/3 of the total
design flow and was requested to be included in the design
by the developer which required relocation of the lift
station , plus incidentals.
Since Phase II is unplatted , this project is unique in the
application of the existing Pro-Rata Ordinance 90-5 which
would have required donation of an easement as designated by
the City Engineer and reimbrusement of funds on a pro-rata
basis to the owner (City) who installed the sewerage
improvements.
In order to apply the intent of the Pro-Rata Ordinance 90-5
and consider pro-ration of flows being conveyed, the
remittance of $150,000 was derived .
Please be assured that the City will not apply both the
Resolution amount of $150, 000 and the Pro-Rata Ordinance 90-
5 either now, or in a future date.
Sincerely yours ,
Bill Dashner
City Manager
