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 to Lori Luttrell, a Wylie Citizen. 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 ). p. 3 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. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION Doyle Spurgin, of 302 N. Ballard, requested to have an auction on Friday, August 19, 1994 at the church. They usually hold them on Saturday nights but would like to hold this one on a Friday.
