CALL TO ORDER
Mayor Swartz called the meeting to order with the following Council members present:
Reta Allen, John Mondy, Bobby Jennings, Steve Wright, Ortie Messenger and Cleo
Adams.
Presentations were made by Central Ambulance to those who assisted in the DWI Awareness
Program. The Mayor, also, made presentations--one to Steve Deiter, City Attorney, and another

CONSENT AGENDA
1. Consider and approve minutes of July 12, 1994 and July 19,1994 Council
Meetings. A motion was made by Steve Wright and seconded by Cleo Adams to approve
the minutes as submitted. Motion passed, all in favor(7 votes).
ACTION ITEMS
2. Discuss and consider approval of preliminary plat for the Nance Addition. This
item had been tabled last meeting. Steve Norwood, City Manager, advised the Council
that he and Richard Nance had come up with a proposal that was agreeable to both parties
for the purchase of right-of-way for the extension of W.A. Allen Blvd through to Stone
Rd. The City would pay Richard Nance $12,875 for the East ROW and the remaining out
parcel (approximately 15,000 sqft.). The east and west sides would be constructed at the
same time. Construction of the extension of W.A. Allen would be triggered by the
fifthteenth(15th)building permit being issued in the subdivision. At that time, the City
would pay the developer to construct the east side when they construct the west side. The
money would come from the perimeter street fee fund to pay for this ROW. This
agreement would go with the plat not the developer. There were no questions about the
agreement. A motion was made by Reta Allen and seconded by Steve Wright to approve
the preliminary plat for the Nance Addition contingent upon the conditions for extension
of W.A. Allen. Motion passed, all in favor(7 votes).
3. Discuss and consider approval of an Ordinance disannexing a tract of property
on Paul Wilson Rd. at the request of John & Geraldine Phillips. Steve Deiter, City
Attorney, advised the Council that this tract has been annexed for ten years and the City
has failed to supply utility services. The owners can not force the City to disannex them
because they do not live on the tract. There has been another tract recently disannexed
but the people were able to force the City to disannex them because they lived on the land.
P. 2 .�
Council felt that even though they did not live on the land there was no reason not to grant
them disannexation. A motion was made by Bobby Jennings and seconded by Cleo
Adams to disannex a tract of land on Paul Wilson Rd. belonging to John and Geraldine
Phillips. Motion passed, all in favor(7 votes).
4. Discuss and consider approval of a contract for Mutual Aide with the City of
Rowlett. Mr. Norwood advised the Council that we have an understood agreement that
includes helping in responding to fire, police, and ambulance calls if needed, but nothing in
writing that defines the agreement. He, also, explained that the City has agreements with
surrounding cities all of which are in Collin County. Rowlett is in Dallas County. A
motion was made by Reta Allen and seconded by Bobby Jennings to approve a contract
for mutual aide with the City of Rowlett. Motion passed, all in favor(7 votes).
5. Discuss and consider approval of dispatch agreement. Mr Norwood advised the
Council that we have a dispatch agreement with smaller cities such as Farmersville,
Branch, etc. to dispatch there emergency calls. The City has had this agreement for two
(2) years and it will expire in September. The cities are aware that it is about to expire
and would like to renew it. They are happy will our level of service. It has been looked _..a
into to make sure that this service to them does not hinder or prevent the City's dispatch
from providing a good service to Wylie. Mr. Norwood advised the Council that he
recommends the agreement be for one (1) year because changes will need to be made in
the amount the cities are charged since there will be some equipment upgrades in the near
future. A motion was made by Steve Wright and seconded by Reta Allen to approve a
dispatch agreement, term one (1) year. Motion passed, all in favor (7 votes).
6. Discuss and consider approval of a resolution adopting an Emergency
Management Plan. Mr. Norwood advised the Council that Shan English, Fire Chief, has
put together an Emergency Management Plan. The Plan covers all possible problems and
gives protocol on handling them. The Council requested a worksession with Mr. English
to discuss the Plan. Mr. Norwood said that he would arrange a workshop soon. A
motion was made by Cleo Adams and seconded by John Mondy to approve a resolution
adopting an Emergency Management Plan. Motion passed, all in favor (7 votes).
7. Discuss and consider authorizing final payment for Nortex Ground Storage
Tank. Mr. Norwood said that he brought this before Council to inform them that the job
was done and done to specs. It was, also, done on time and at the cost bidded. A motion
was made by Steve Wright and seconded by Bobby Jennings. Motion passed, all in favor
(7 votes ).

STAFF REPORTS
Steve Norwood advised the Council that he has received numerous calls concerning
mosquito problems. He said that spraying alone would not be effective since the larva would not
be killed and that there is a certain type of minnow that eats the larva. He is working with Plano
to spray and locate minnows. Mr. Norwood said that they had been approved for funding for fire
calls, $100.00 a call. That is not enough since it cost about $300-$400 before the engine even
leaves the station but it will help. He went on to state that Chuck Norris had been in town all day
filming "Walker--Texas Rangers" at the Phillips 66 station.
Brady Snellgrove gave an update on the Animal Control Services. He said that things
were going well and the new Animal Control Officer was doing a great job. They were in the
process of upgrading the A/C and heating units.
Steve Deiter thanked the Council for the plaque. He explained that he was taking vacation
for the rest of the week and then would be leaving Friday for Kansas. He said that he would send
them a Council update so there would not be any lose ends. Council thanked him for all his hard
work and wished him luck in his new home.
Mr. Deiter gave an update concerning an issued raised at the last meeting by Mr. Albin
about parking his semi tractor in Pointe North. He explained that the Ordinances were not in
direct conflict as Mr. Albin had stated. He could park it on an improved surface but the weight
restrictions for a residential area prevent him from driving it into the subdivision.

1994 at the church. They usually hold them on Saturday nights but would like to hold this one on

problem.
