(I) Introduction
Opening Statement
January 18, 2010
Wylie City Council
Wylie, Texas 76180
Dear Distinguished Members of the City Council,
Racial profiling has been regarded as one of the most pressing themes currently
affecting law enforcement agencies in the United States. In 2001, the Texas legislature,
in an attempt to address the issue of racial profiling in policing, enacted the Texas Racial
Profiling Law. Since 2001,the Wylie Police Department, in accordance with the law, has
collected and reported traffic-related contact data for the purpose of identifying and
addressing (if necessary) areas of concern regarding racial profiling practices. During the
past legislative session,the Racial Profiling Law was modified and new requirements are
now in place. These will be represented, as prescribed by the law, in the 2010 racial
profiling report due March 1, 2011.
In this particular report, you will find three sections that contain information on
traffic-related contact data. In addition,when appropriate, documentation is also a
component of this report, aiming at demonstrating the manner in which the Wylie Police
Department has complied with the Texas Racial Profiling Law. In section 1, you will
find the table of contents in addition to the Texas Senate Bill (SB 1074)which later
became the Texas Racial Profiling Law. Also, in this section, a list of requirements
relevant to the Racial Profiling Law as established by TCLEOSE(Texas Commission on
Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Education) is included. In addition, you will
find, in sections 2 and 3, documentation which demonstrates compliance by the Wylie
Police Department relevant to the requirements as established in the Texas Racial
Profiling Law. That is, documents relevant to the implementation of an institutional
policy banning racial profiling,the incorporation of a racial profiling complaint process
and the training administered to all law enforcement personnel, are included.
The last section of this report provides statistical data relevant to contacts, made
during the course of traffic stops, between 1/1/09 and 12/31/09. This information has
been analyzed and compared to data derived from the U.S. Census Bureau's Fair Roads
Standard and to traffic-based contact data collected between 2002 and 2008. The final
analysis and recommendations are also included in this report.
I am hopeful that the findings presented in this report serve as evidence of the
Wylie Police Department's commitment to comply with the Texas Racial Profiling Law.
Sincerely,
Alex del Carmen, Ph.D.

TCLEOSE GUIDELINES
IGuidelines for Compiling and Reporting Data under Senate Bill 1074
Background
Senate Bill 1074 of the 77th Legislature established requirements in the Texas Code of
Criminal Procedure(TCCP) for law enforcement agencies. The Commission developed
this document to assist agencies in complying with the statutory requirements.
The guidelines are written in the form of standards using a style developed from
accreditation organizations including the Commission on Accreditation for Law
Enforcement Agencies (CALEA). The standards provide a description of what must be
accomplished by an agency but allows wide latitude in determining how the agency will
achieve compliance with each applicable standard.
Each standard is composed of two parts: the standard statement and the commentary.
'The standard statement is a declarative sentence that places a clear-cut requirement, or
multiple requirements, on an agency. The commentary supports the standard statement
but is not binding. The commentary can serve as a prompt, as guidance to clarify the
intent of the standard, or as an example of one possible way to comply with the standard.
Standard 1
Each law enforcement agency has a detailed written directive that:
• clearly defines acts that constitute racial profiling;
• strictly prohibits peace officers employed by the agency from engaging in racial
profiling;
• implements a process by which an individual may file a complaint with the
agency if the individual believes a peace officer employed by the agency has
engaged in racial profiling with respect to the individual filing the complaint;
• provides for public education relating to the complaint process;
• requires appropriate corrective action to be taken against a peace officer
employed by the agency who, after investigation, is shown to have engaged in
racial profiling in violation of the agency's written racial profiling policy; and
• requires the collection of certain types of data for subsequent reporting.
Commentary
Article 2.131 of the TCCP prohibits officers from engaging in racial profiling,and article 2.132 of the
TCCP now requires a written policy that contains the elements listed in this standard. The article also
specifically defines a law enforcement agency as it applies to this statute as an"agency of the state,or of a
county,municipality,or other political subdivision of the state,that employs peace officers who make
traffic stops in the routine performance of the officers' official duties."
The article further defines race or ethnicity as being of "a particular descent,including Caucasian,
African,Hispanic,Asian,or Native American." The statute does not limit the required policies to just
these ethnic groups.
This written policy is to be adopted and implemented no later than January 1,2002.
Standard 2
Each peace officer who stops a motor vehicle for an alleged violation of a law or
ordinance regulating traffic, or who stops a pedestrian for any suspected offense reports
to the employing law enforcement agency information relating to the stop,to include:
• a physical description of each person detained, including gender and the person's
race or ethnicity, as stated by the person, or, if the person does not state a race or
ethnicity, as determined by the officer's best judgment;
• the traffic law or ordinance alleged to have been violated or the suspected offense;
• whether the officer conducted a search as a result of the stop and, if so, whether
the person stopped consented to the search;
• whether any contraband was discovered in the course of the search, and the type
of contraband discovered;
• whether probable cause to search existed, and the facts supporting the existence of
that probable cause;
• whether the officer made an arrest as a result of the stop or the search, including a
statement of the offense charged;
• the street address or approximate location of the stop; and
• whether the officer issued a warning or citation as a result of the stop, including a
description of the warning or a statement of the violation charged.
Commentary
The information required by 2.133 TCCP is used to complete the agency reporting requirements found in
Article 2.134. A peace officer and an agency may be exempted from this requirement under Article 2.135
TCCP Exemption for Agencies Using Video and Audio Equipment. An agency may be exempt from this
reporting requirement by applying for the funds from the Department of Public Safety for video and audio
equipment and the State does not supply those funds. Section 2.135(a)(2)states,"the governing body of
the county or municipality served by the law enforcement agency,in conjunction with the law enforcement
agency,certifies to the Department of Public Safety,not later than the date specified by rule by the
department,that the law enforcement agency needs funds or video and audio equipment for the purpose of
installing video and audio equipment as described by Subsection(a)(1)(A)and the agency does not
receive from the state funds for video and audio equipment sufficient,as determined by the department,for
the agency to accomplish that purpose."
Standard 3
The agency compiles the information collected under 2.132 and 2.133 and analyzes the
information identified in 2.133.
Commentary
Senate Bill 1074 from the 77th Session of the Texas Legislature created requirements for law enforcement
agencies to gather specific information and to report it to each county or municipality served. New sections
of law were added to the Code of Criminal Procedure regarding the reporting of traffic and pedestrian
stops. Detained is defined as when a person stopped is not free to leave.
Article 2.134 TCCP requires the agency to compile and provide and analysis of the information collected
by peace officer employed by the agency. The report is provided to the governing body of the municipality
or county no later than March 1 of each year and covers the previous calendar year.
There is data collection and reporting required based on Article 2.132 CCP(tier one)and Article 2.133
CCP(tier two).
The minimum requirements for"tier one"data for traffic stops in which a citation results are:
1) the race or ethnicity of individual detained(race and ethnicity as defined by the bill means of"a
particular descent, including Caucasian,African,Hispanic,Asian,or Native American");
2) whether a search was conducted,and if there was a search,whether it was a consent search or a
probable cause search;and
3) whether there was a custody arrest.
The minimum requirements for reporting on"tier two"reports include traffic and pedestrian stops. Tier
two data include:
1) the detained person's gender and race or ethnicity;
2) the type of law violation suspected,e.g.,hazardous traffic,non-hazardous traffic, or other criminal
investigation(the Texas Department of Public Safety publishes a categorization of traffic offenses
into hazardous or non-hazardous);
3) whether a search was conducted,and if so whether it was based on consent or probable cause;
4) facts supporting probable cause;
5) the type,if any,of contraband that was collected;
6) disposition of the stop,e.g.,arrest,ticket,warning,or release;
7) location of stop;and
8) statement of the charge,e.g.,felony,misdemeanor,or traffic.
Tier one reports are made to the governing body of each county or municipality served by the agency an
annual report of information if the agency is an agency of a county,municipality,or other political
subdivision of the state. Tier one and two reports are reported to the county or municipality not later than
March 1 for the previous calendar year beginning March 1,2003. Tier two reports include a comparative
analysis between the race and ethnicity of persons detained to see if a differential pattern of treatment can
be discerned based on the disposition of stops including searches resulting from the stops. The reports also
include information relating to each complaint filed with the agency alleging that a peace officer employed
by the agency has engaged in racial profiling. An agency may be exempt from the tier two reporting
requirement by applying for the funds from the Department of Public Safety for video and audio equipment
and the State does not supply those funds[See 2.135(a)(2)TCCP].
Reports should include both raw numbers and percentages for each group. Caution should be exercised in
interpreting the data involving percentages because of statistical distortions caused by very small numbers
in any particular category,for example,if only one American Indian is stopped and searched,that stop
would not provide an accurate comparison with 200 stops among Caucasians with 100 searches. In the first
case,a 100%search rate would be skewed data when compared to a 50%rate for Caucasians.
Standard 4
If a law enforcement agency has video and audio capabilities in motor vehicles regularly
used for traffic stops, or audio capabilities on motorcycles regularly used to make traffic
stops,the agency:
• adopts standards for reviewing and retaining audio and video documentation; and
• promptly provides a copy of the recording to a peace officer who is the subject of
a complaint on written request by the officer.
Commentary
The agency should have a specific review and retention policy. Article 2.132 TCCP specifically requires
that the peace officer be promptly provided with a copy of the audio or video recordings if the officer is the
subject of a complaint and the officer makes a written request.
Standard 5
Agencies that do not currently have video or audio equipment must examine the
feasibility of installing such equipment.
Commentary
None
Standard 6
Agencies that have video and audio recording capabilities are exempt from the reporting
requirements of Article 2.134 TCCP and officers are exempt from the reporting
requirements of Article 2.133 TCCP provided that:
• the equipment was in place and used during the proceeding calendar year; and
• video and audio documentation is retained for at least 90 days.
Commentary
The audio and video equipment and policy must have been in place during the previous calendar year.
Audio and video documentation must be kept for at least 90 days or longer if a complaint has been filed.
The documentation must be retained until the complaint is resolved. Peace officers are not exempt from
the requirements under Article 2.132 TCCP.
Standard 7
Agencies have citation forms or other electronic media that comply with Section 543.202
of the Transportation Code.
Commentary
Senate Bill 1074 changed Section 543.202 of the Transportation Code requiring citations to include:
• race or ethnicity,and
• whether a search of the vehicle was conducted and whether consent for the search was obtained.

(II) Responding to the Law
Institutional Policy on Racial
Profiling
Racial Profiling Policy
Policy Number: 614 Effective Date: January 1, 2002
Reviewed Date: July 9, 2007
][. PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to reaffirm the Wylie Police Department's
commitment to unbiased policing in all its encounters between officers and any
person; to reinforce procedures that serve to ensure public confidence and mutual
trust through the provision of services in a fair and equitable fashion; and to
protect our officers from unwarranted accusations of misconduct when they act
within the dictates of department policy and the law.
:[I. POLICY
It is the policy of this department to police in a proactive manner and, to
aggressively investigate suspected violations of law. Officers shall actively
enforce state and federal laws in a responsible and professional manner, without
regard to race, ethnicity or national origin. Officers are strictly prohibited from
engaging in a racial profiling as defined in this policy. This policy shall be
applicable to all persons, whether drivers,passengers or pedestrians.
Officers shall conduct themselves in a dignified and respectful manner at all times
when dealing with the public. Two of the fundamental rights guaranteed by both
the United States and Texas constitutions are equal protection under the law and
freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures by government agents. The
right of all persons to be treated equally and to be free from unreasonable searches
and seizures must be respected. Racial profiling is an unacceptable patrol tactic
and will not be condoned.
This policy shall not preclude officers from offering assistance, such as upon
observing a substance leaking from a vehicle, a flat tire, or someone who appears
to be ill, lost or confused. Nor does this policy prohibit stopping someone
suspected of a crime based upon observed actions and/or information received
about the person.
III. DEFINITIONS
Racial Profiling: A law enforcement-initiated action based on an individual's
race, ethnicity, or national origin rather than on the individual's behavior or on
information identifying the individual as having engaged in criminal activity.
Racial profiling pertains to persons who are viewed as suspects or potential
suspects of criminal behavior. The term is not relevant as it pertains to witnesses,
complainants or other citizen contacts.
Racial Profiling Policy - Page 2 of 5
The prohibition against racial profiling does not preclude the use of race, ethnicity
or national origin as factors in a detention decision when used as part of an actual
description of a specific suspect for whom an officer is searching. Detaining an
individual and conducting an inquiry into that person's activities simply because
of that individual's race, ethnicity or national origin is racial profiling. Examples
of racial profiling include but are not limited to the following.
• Citing a driver who is speeding in a stream of traffic where most other drivers
are speeding because of the cited driver's race,ethnicity or national origin.
• Detaining the driver of a vehicle based on the determination that a person of
that race, ethnicity or national origin is unlikely to own or possess that specific
make or model of vehicle.
• Detaining an individual based upon the determination that a person of that
race, ethnicity or national origin does not belong in a specific part of town or a
specific place.
A law enforcement agency can derive two principles from the adoption of this
definition of racial profiling
• Police may not use racial or ethnic stereotypes as factors in selecting whom to
stop and search, while police may use race in conjunction with other known
factors of the suspect.
• Law enforcement officers may not use racial or ethnic stereotypes as factors in
selecting whom to stop and search. Racial profiling is not relevant as it
pertains to witnesses, etc.
Race or Ethnicity: Of a particular decent, including Caucasian, African,
Hispanic, Asian, or Native American.
Pedestrian Stop: An interaction between a peace officer and an individual who is
being detained for the purpose of a criminal investigation in which the individual
is not under arrest.
Traffic Stop: The stop of a motor vehicle by a peace officer for an alleged
violation of a law or ordinance regulating traffic.
III. TRAINING
A. Officers are responsible to adhere to all Texas Commission of Law
Enforcement Officer Standards and Education (TCLEOSE) training and
the Law Enforcement Management Institute of Texas (LEMIT)
requirements as mandated by law.
B. All officers shall complete a TCLEOSE training and education program
on racial profiling not later than the second anniversary of the date the
officer is licensed under Chapter 1701 of the Texas Occupations Code or
the date the officer applies for an intermediate proficiency certificate,
whichever date is earlier. A person who on September 1, 2001, held a
TCLEOSE intermediate proficiency certificate, or who had held a peace
Racial Profiling Policy - Page 3 of 5
officer license issued by TCLEOSE for at lest two years, shall complete a
TCLEOSE training and education program on racial profiling not later
than September 1, 2003.
C. The Chief of Police, as part of the initial training and continued education
for such appointment, will be required to attend the LEMIT program on
racial profiling.
D. An individual appointed as a police chief before the effective date of this
Act shall complete the program on racial profiling established under
Subsection (j), Section 96.641, Education Code, as added by this Act, not
later than September 1, 2003.
IV. COMPLAINT INVESTIGATION
A. The department shall accept complaints from any person who believes he
or she has been stopped or searched based on racial, ethnic or national
origin profiling. No person shall be discouraged, intimidated or coerced
from filing a complaint, nor discriminated against because he or she filed
such a complaint.
B. Any person who receives an allegation of racial profiling, including the
officer who initiated the stop, shall record the person's name, address and
telephone number, and forward the complaint through the appropriate
channels or direct the individual(s). Any employee contacted shall provide
to that person instructions on the complaint process and will report any
allegation racial profiling to their superior before the end of shift.
C. Investigation of a complaint shall be conducted in a thorough and timely
manner. All complaints will be acknowledged in writing to the initiator
who will receive disposition regarding said complaint within a reasonable
time period. The investigation shall be reduced to writing and any
reviewer's comments or conclusions shall be filed with the Chief. When
applicable, findings and/or suggestions for disciplinary action, retaining or
changes in policy shall be filed with the Chief.
D. If a racial profiling complaint is sustained against an officer, it will result
in appropriate corrective and/or disciplinary action, up to and including
termination.
E. If there is a departmental video or audio recording the events upon which
a complaint of racial profiling is based, upon commencement of an
investigation by this department into the complaint and written request of
the officer made the subject of the complaint, this department shall
promptly provide a copy of the recording to that officer.
VI. PUBLIC EDUCATION
This department will inform the public of its policy against racial profiling and
the complaint process. Methods that may be utilized to inform the public are the
news media, radio, service, or civic presentations, the internet, as well as
governing board meetings. Additionally, information will be made available as
appropriate in languages other than English.

BY ORDER OF
CH1EF OF OLICE
Complaint Process: Informing the
Public and Addressing Allegations
of Racial Profiling Practices
Informing the Public on the Process of Filing_a Racial Profiling Complaint
with the Wylie Police Department
The Texas Racial Profiling Law requires that police agencies provide information
to the public regarding the manner in which to file a racial profiling complaint. In an
effort to comply with this particular component,the Wylie Police Department launched
an educational campaign aimed at informing the public on issues relevant to the racial
profiling complaint process.
The police department made available, in the lobby area, information relevant to
filing a complaint on a racial profiling violation by a Wylie Police officer. It is believed
that through these efforts,the community has been properly informed of the new policies
and the complaint processes relevant to racial profiling.
Racial Profiling Training
Racial Profiling Training
Since 2002, all Wylie Police officers have been instructed, as specified in the
Texas Racial Profiling Law, to adhere to all Texas Commission on Law Enforcement
Officer Standards and Education(TCLEOSE)training and the Law Enforcement
Management Institute of Texas(LEMIT) requirements. To date, all sworn officers of the
Wylie Police Department have completed the TCLEOSE basic training on racial
profiling. The main outline used to train the officers of Wylie has been included in this
report.
It is important to recognize that the Chief of the Wylie Police Department has also
met the training requirements, as specified by the Texas Racial Profiling Law, in the
completion of the LEMIT program on racial profiling. The satisfactory completion of the
racial profiling training by the sworn personnel of the Wylie Police Department fulfills
the training requirement as specified in the Education Code (96.641)of the Texas Racial
Profiling Law.

2.0 RACIAL PROFILING AND THE COMMUNITY
2.1 UNIT GOAL: The student will be able to identify logical and social
arguments against racial profiling.
2.1.1 LEARNING OBJECTIVE: The student will be able to identify logical
and social arguments against racial profiling.
A. There are appropriate reasons for unusual traffic stops (suspicious behavior,
the officer's intuition, MOs, etc.), but police work must stop short of cultural
stereotyping and racism
B. Racial profiling would result in criminal arrests, but only because it would
target all members of a race randomly—the minor benefits would be far
outweighed by the distrust and anger towards law enforcement by minorities and
the public as a whole
C. Racial profiling is self-fulfilling bad logic: if you believed that minorities
committed more crimes, then you might look for more minority criminals, and find
them in disproportionate numbers
D. Inappropriate traffic stops generate suspicion and antagonism towards officers
and make future stops more volatile — a racially-based stop today can throw
suspicion on tomorrow's legitimate stop
E. By focusing on race, you would not only be harassing innocent citizens, but
overlooking criminals of all races and backgrounds — it is a waste of law
enforcement resources
3.0 RACIAL PROFILING VERSUS REASONABLE SUSPICION
3.1 UNIT GOAL: The student will be able to identify the elements of both
inappropriate and appropriate traffic stops.
3.1.1 LEARNING OBJECTIVE: The student will be able to identify elements
of a racially motivated traffic stop.
A. Most race-based complaints come from vehicle stops, often since race is used
as an inappropriate substitute for drug courier profile elements
B. "DWB"—"Driving While Black" — a nickname for the public perception that a
Black person may be stopped solely because of their race (especially with the
suspicion that they are a drug
courier), often extended to other minority groups or activities as well ("Driving
While Brown," "Flying While Black," etc.)
C. A typical traffic stop resulting from racial profiling
1. The vehicle is stopped on the basis of a minor or contrived traffic violation
which is used as a pretext for closer inspection of the vehicle, driver, and
passengers
2. The driver and passengers are questioned about things that do not relate to
the traffic violation
3. The driver and passengers are ordered out of the vehicle
4. The officers visually check all observable parts of the vehicle
5. The officers proceed on the assumption that drug courier work is involved by
detaining the driver and passengers by the roadside
6. The driver is asked to consent to a vehicle search — if the driver refuses, the
officers use other procedures (waiting on a canine unit, criminal record checks,
license-plate checks, etc.), and intimidate the driver (with the threat of detaining
him/her, obtaining a warrant, etc.)
3.1.2 LEARNING OBJECTIVE: The student will be able to identify elements
of a traffic stop which would constitute reasonable suspicion of drug
courier activity.
A. Drug courier profile (adapted from a profile developed by the DEA)
1. Driver is nervous or anxious beyond the ordinary anxiety and cultural
communication styles
2. Signs of long-term driving (driver is unshaven, has empty food containers, etc.)
3. Vehicle is rented
4. Driver is a young male, 20-35
5. No visible luggage, even though driver is traveling
6. Driver was over-reckless or over-cautious in driving and responding to signals
7. Use of air fresheners
B. Drug courier activity indicators by themselves are usually not sufficient to
justify a stop
3.1.3 LEARNING OBJECTIVE: The student will be able to identify elements
of a traffic stop which could constitute reasonable suspicion of criminal
activity.
A. Thinking about the totality of circumstances in a vehicle stop
B. Vehicle exterior
1. Non-standard repainting (esp. on a new vehicle)
2. Signs of hidden cargo (heavy weight in trunk, windows do not roll down, etc.)
3. Unusual license plate suggesting a switch (dirty plate, bugs on back plate,
etc.)
4. Unusual circumstances (pulling a camper at night, kids' bikes with no kids,
etc.)
C. Pre-stop indicators
1. Not consistent with traffic flow
2. Driver is overly cautious, or driver/passengers repeatedly look at police car
3. Driver begins using a car- or cell-phone when signaled to stop
4. Unusual pull-over behavior (ignores signals, hesitates, pulls onto new street,
moves objects in car, etc.)
D. Vehicle interior
1. Rear seat or interior panels have been opened, there are tools or spare tire,
etc.
2. Inconsistent items (anti-theft club with a rental, unexpected luggage, etc.)

Analysis and Interpretation of Data
Analysis
In 2001,the Texas Legislature passed Senate Bill 1074 which later became the
Texas Racial Profiling Law. The law came into effect on January 1, 2002 and requires
that all police departments in Texas collect traffic-related data and report this information
to their local governing authority by March lst of each year. The purpose in collecting
and presenting this information is to determine if police officers in a particular
municipality are engaging in the practice of profiling minority motorists.
The Texas Racial Profiling Law also requires police departments to interpret
traffic-related data. Although most researchers would probably agree with the fact that it
is within the confines of good practice for police departments to be accountable to the
citizenry while carrying a transparent image before the community, it is very difficult to
determine if police departments are engaging in racial profiling, from a review or analysis
of aggregate data. In other words, it is challenging for a reputable researcher to identify
specific "individual"racist behavior from aggregate-level"institutional"data on traffic-
related contacts.
During the past legislative session,the Texas Legislature passed House Bill 3389
which modified the existing Racial Profiling Law by adding new requirements; this was
due to take effect on January 1st, 2010. These new changes include, but are not exclusive
of, the re-definition of a contact to include motor vehicles where a citation was issued or
an arrest made. In addition, it will require officers to indicate if they knew the race or
ethnicity of the individual before detaining them. Also,the new law requires adding
"middle eastern" to the racial and ethnic category and submitting the annual traffic data
report to TCLEOSE before March 1st of each year, starting March 1st, 2011. I am
pleased to inform you that these changes have already been addressed by the Wylie
Police Department. Further,the report to be submitted in 2011 will illustrate these
changes, are required by law.
The Wylie Police Department, in an effort to comply with The Texas Racial
Profiling Law(S.B. 1074), commissioned the analysis of its 2009 traffic contact data.
Thus,three different types of data analyses were performed. The first of these involved a
careful evaluation of the 2009 traffic stop data. This particular analysis measured, as
required by the law, the number and percentage of Caucasians, African Americans,
Hispanics,Asians,Native Americans, and individuals belonging to the "other" category,
that came in contact with the police in the course of a traffic-related stop, and were either
issued a citation or arrested. Further,the analysis included information relevant to the
number and percentage of searches(table 1)while indicating the type of search
performed(i.e., consensual or probable cause). Also, the data analysis included the
number and percentage of individuals who,after they came in contact with the police for
a traffic-related reason,were arrested.
The additional data analysis performed was based on a comparison of the 2009
traffic-contact data with a specific baseline. When reviewing this particular analysis, it
should be noted that there is disagreement, in the literature, regarding the appropriate
baseline to be used when analyzing traffic-related contact information. Of the baseline
measures available, the Wylie Police Department opted to adopt, as a baseline measure,
the Fair Roads Standard. This particular baseline is based on data obtained through the
U.S. Census Bureau(2000) relevant to the number of households that have access to
vehicles while controlling for the race and ethnicity of the heads of households.
It is clear that census data presents challenges to any effort made at establishing a
fair and accurate racial profiling analysis. That is, census data contains information on all
residents of a particular community, regardless of the fact they may or may not be among
the driving population. Further,census data,when used as a baseline of comparison,
presents the challenge that it captures information related to city residents only. Thus,
excluding individuals who may have come in contact with the Wylie Police Department
in 2009 but live outside city limits. In some cases, the percentage of the population that
comes in contact with the police but lives outside city limits represents a substantial
volume of all traffic-related contacts made in a given year.
Throughout the years, several civil rights groups in Texas have expressed their
desire and made recommendations to the effect that all police departments should rely, in
their data analysis, on the Fair Roads Standard. This source contains census data specific
to the number of"households"that have access to vehicles. Thus,proposing to compare
"households" (which may have multiple residents and only a few vehicles) with
"contacts" (an individual-based count). This, in essence, constitutes a comparison that
may result in ecological fallacy. Despite this,the Wylie Police Department made a
decision that it would use this form of comparison(i.e., census data relevant to
households with vehicles)in an attempt to demonstrate its"good will"and
"transparency"before the community. Thus, the Fair Roads Standard data obtained and
used in this study is specifically relevant to Wylie.
The final analysis was conducted while using the 2002--2009 traffic contact data.
Specifically, all traffic-related contacts made in 2009 were compared to similar figures
reported in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005,2006, 2007 and 2008. Although some researchers
may not support the notion that in eight years, a"significant"and"permanent"trend can
take effect, when considering this analysis, it was determined that comparing eight years
of traffic contact data may highlight possible areas of consistency with regards to traffic-
related contacts. That is,the eight-year comparison has the potential of revealing
indicators that a possible trend of traffic-based contacts with regards to members of a
specific minority group, may in fact,develop.
Tier 1 (2009)Traffic-Related Contact Analysis
When analyzing the Tier 1 data collected in 2009, it was evident that most traffic-
related contacts were made with Caucasian drivers. This was followed by Hispanic and
African American drivers. With respect to searches, most of them were performed on
Caucasian drivers. This was also followed by Hispanics and African Americans. It is
important to note that the arrest data revealed that Caucasian drivers were arrested the
most in traffic-related contacts;this was followed by Hispanics and African Americans.
Fair Roads Standard and U.S. Census Analysis
The data analysis of traffic contacts to the census data relevant to the number of
"households" in Wylie who indicated, in the 2000 census,that they had access to
vehicles, produced interesting findings. Specifically, the percentage of individuals of
African American, Hispanic and Asian descent that came in contact with the police was
higher than the percentage of African American, Hispanic and Asian households in Wylie
that claimed, in the 2000 census,to have access to vehicles. It should be noted that the
percentage difference between Asian contacts and households with access to vehicles was
of less than 3 percent;thus, deemed by some as being statistically insignificant. With
respect to Caucasian and Native American drivers, a lower percentage of contacts were
detected. That is,the percentage of Caucasian and Native American drivers that came in
contact with the police in 2009 was lower than the percentage of Caucasian and Native
American households in Wylie with access to vehicles.
Eight-Year Comparison
The eight-year comparison(02-09) of traffic-contact data showed some
similarities. As illustrated in table 3,the percentage of drivers (from different
racial/ethnic groups)that came in contact with the Wylie Police in 2009 was similar to
the percentage of drivers, from the same racial/ethnic groups that came in contact with
the Wylie Police Department in 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003 and 2002. When
comparing 2009 to the previous years,there was an increase in percentage among
Caucasians and a decrease in percentage among Hispanics.
It is clear that commonalities in the data existed,when analyzing the search-
related contacts for all eight years. An increase in percentage was detected among
Caucasians while a percentage decrease was noted among African Americans and
Hispanics. When considering the arrests made,the data revealed that the percentage of
arrests increased among African Americans while a decrease in percentage was evident
among Caucasians and Hispanics.
Summary of Findings
The comparison of traffic contacts showed that the Wylie Police Department
came in contact(in traffic-related incidents)with a smaller percentage of Caucasian and
Native American drivers than the percentage that resided in Wylie and had access to
vehicles. Further, the data suggested that the percentage of African American,Hispanic
and Asian drivers that came in contact with the police in 2009 was higher than the
percentage of African American, Hispanic and Asian households in Wylie with access to
vehicles.
A careful examination of the eight-year traffic-related contact data suggested that
the Wylie Police Department has been, for the most part, consistent in the racial/ethnic
composition of motorists it comes in contact with during a given year. The consistency of
contacts for the past 8 years is in place despite the fact the city demographics may have
changed,thus, increasing the number of subjects likely to come in contact with the
police.
While considering the findings made in this analysis, it is recommended that the
Wylie Police Department should continue to collect and evaluate additional information
on traffic-contact data(i.e.,reason for probable cause searches, contraband detected)
which may prove to be useful when determining the nature of the traffic-related contacts
police officers are making with all individuals;particularly with African Americans and
Hispanics. Although this additional data may not be required by state law, it is likely to
provide insights regarding the nature and outcome of all traffic contacts made with the
public. With regard to the current report, the Wylie Police Department is encouraged to:
1) Perform an independent search analysis on the search data collected in the
first quarter of 2010.
2) Commission quarterly audits in 2010 in order to assess data integrity;that
is, to ensure that the data collected is consistent with the data being
reported.
The information and analysis provided in this report serves as evidence that the
Wylie Police Department has, once again, complied with the Texas Racial Profiling Law.

WORK SESSION
• Discussion and input regarding City of Wylie Thoroughfare Impact Fees. (S.
Satterwhite, WEDC Executive Director)
Wylie Economic Development Corporation Executive Director Satterwhite addressed the council
stating that in June 2009, the WEDC Board of Directors began meeting on the issue of
thoroughfare impact fees specifically relating to the potential that the current structure may be a
deterrent to attracting new development. After much discussion, presentations from the City
Engineer, input from members of the original Impact Fee Advisory Committee, and input from
local developers, it was the belief of the WEDC Board of Directors that the fees were technically
sound, equitable to all new development, and most importantly that all developers have an
equal opportunity to apply for a waiver of said fees via the City Council or WEDC.
Minutes February 9, 2010
Wylie City Council
Page 3
Mr. Satterwhite reviewed several options brought forward by the WEDC for council
consideration which included:
Option #1 —"No change"
Option #2 — "No fee" Staff believes this is not a realistic option; If no thoroughfare impact fees
were in place, new development would share an equal financial burden with the existing
taxpayer for increased demand upon infrastructure created by the new development.
Option #3 — "East and West Zones Charged Identical Unit Costs"The only issue staff has with
this recommendation is that the fees charged within the west zone would be proportionately
higher than the east zone.
Option #4— "Lower Each Zone's Unit Cost an Equal Percentage"Staff does not believe this is a
viable option because there is no real or perceived concern with Thoroughfare Fees within the
west zone.
Satterwhite reported that the WEDC board is recommending Option #1, "no change" to the
Wylie City Council.
• Consider and act upon amendments to a Performance Agreement between the
Wylie Economic Development Corporation and Sanden International (U.S.A.),
Inc. (S. Satterwhite, WEDC Executive Director)
WEDC Executive Director Satterwhite addressed council stating that on July 24, 2009 the
WEDC entered into a Performance Agreement with Sanden International to provide $300,000 to
support the retooling of a compressor line integral to Sanden's future operations. Funding of the
package consisted of a $200,000 payment in 2010 and a $100,000 payment in 2011. Sanden
approached the WEDC Board with a request for additional assistance based upon an 8.5%
increase in project cost. Original cost projections were $8.52 million with actual expenses
coming in at $9.24 million.
Satterwhite explained that the existing performance measures within the 7-24-09 Agreement
call for $5.79 million and $2.73 million to be expended by 4-1-10 and 4-1-11 respectively.
Additionally Sanden must maintain a minimum appraised value of $58 million and a minimum
275 full-time production employees. Combined with this request for additional funding was the
notification that Sanden is competing with a Mexico plant for the location of a $14 million
manufacturing line which produces pistons required for the above compressor line.
While the Board of Directors denied Sanden's request based upon multiple factors, the Board
authorized staff to draft an amendment to the existing Performance Agreement which provides
100% of the agreed upon funding in 2010. Satterwhite explained that all of the existing
performance measures will remain the same for the full term of the Agreement. He noted that
WEDC staff was seeking direction from the Council to convey to the WEDC Board prior to
formal approval of any amendments.
Direction from council was to further review the current agreement for amendments and present
to council as a future agenda item.
• Discussion and update on road construction within the City of Wylie. (C.
Hoisted, City Engineer)
City Engineer Hoisted updated the council stating that the City of Wylie 2005 Bond Program
included $38,000,000 for roadway projects throughout the City. Projects include FM 1378,
Stone Road (FM 544), Brown Street, and Alanis. The 2007 Collin County Bond Program
Minutes February 9, 2010
Wylie City Council
Page 4
included $20,154,375 for roadway projects in Wylie including Brown Street, McMillen Road,
Ballard Avenue, Stone Road, and Park Boulevard. Mr. Hoisted gave updates on current
construction progress on each of the roadways.
• Joint City Council/Parks and Recreation Board Work Session for discussion and
direction regarding the conceptual plans for Community Park Improvements.
(M. Sferra, Public Services Director/Teague Nall and Perkins)
Mark Holiday and Chris Seely of Teague Nall and Perkins addressed council and those present
from the Parks and Recreation Board. Mr. Holiday explained that council had asked the firm to
develop a design for improvements to Community Park within the approved bond funds
specified for that project. He reported that once the Master Plan has been developed for a park,
the City may begin to prioritize improvements that are necessary for the first phase of
construction. For Community Park, the improvements that should be included within the first
phase of construction are those that were stated in the 2005 Bond Program. As a reminder, the
planned Community Park improvements include an 8-ft concrete trail, replacement of the
baseball/softball lights, sod and irrigate infields, improve the irrigation systems, install new
bleachers, additional parking, and a new concession stand with restrooms.
TNP has prepared two options to consider for the Phase I improvements. The options are based
on stakeholder input as well as considerations regarding constructability and phasing of
construction. Mr. Holiday reported that the costs associated with the options was not based on
contractor bid pricing; should the actual bid price be below the projected budget for the project,
TNP has provided additional bid alternates to consider.
Option #1 would include:

REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON
COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING
STANDARDS
To the Members of the City Council
and the Honorable Mayor
CITY OF WYLIE
Wylie, Texas
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, business-type
activities, the discretely presented component unit, each major fund and the aggregate
remaining fund information of the City of Wylie, Texas (the City) as of and for the year ended
September 30, 2009, which collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements and have
issued our report thereon dated February 15, 2010. We conducted our audit in accordance
with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards
applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the
Comptroller General of the United States.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit, we considered the City's internal control over financial
reporting in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our
opinion on the financial statements and not to provide assurance on the internal control over
financial reporting.
Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose
described in the preceding paragraph and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in
internal control over financial reporting that might be significant deficiencies or material
weaknesses. However, as discussed below, we identified deficiencies in internal control over
financial reporting that we consider to be significant deficiencies and a deficiency that we
consider to be a material weakness.
A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to
prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control
deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affect the City's ability to
initiate, authorize, record, process, or report financial data reliably in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a
misstatement of the City's financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be
detected by the City's internal control. We consider the findings listed below to be significant
deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting.

City of Wylie, Texas

Preparation of Financial Statements
Statement on Auditing Standards No. 112, "Communicating Internal Control Related Matters
Identified in an Audit" defines the inadequate design of internal control over the preparation of
financial statements being audited as a deficiency in the design of internal controls. Auditors
cannot be a part of the City's internal control system. As the City does not prepare full
disclosure financial statements as required by generally accepted accounting principles, this
could impact the City's ability to report financial data reliably such that there is more than a
remote likelihood that a misstatement of the City's financial statements that is more than
inconsequential will not be prevented or detected.
We recommend that the City evaluate the benefits of preparing its own financial statements at
year end against the cost to do so.
Management Response:
This has been discussed and the Finance Department would like to begin preparing the City's
financial statements. However, our current number of staff and software capabilities present
obstacles in achieving this. We will continue to re-evaluate this as staffing changes and
consider this as being one of our goals within the next two years.
Segregation of Duties over Payroll
The person who processes payroll also has the ability to enter new employees into the payroll
system. These duties are considered incompatible and should not be performed by the same
person. Although department manager reviews of budgetary comparison reports acts as a
mitigating control, there is still an increased risk that fraud could occur and go undetected.
We recommend the City implement policies and procedures whereby the duties of entering new
employees into the payroll system and the processing of payroll are properly segregated. This will
help reduce the likelihood of fraud from occurring and going undetected.
Management Response:
The Human Resources Department will begin setting up new employees in the payroll system
upon initial employment orientation for newly hired employees.
Improve Controls Over Utility Billing Rates
On September 23, 2008, the City Council approved Ordinance No. 2008-44, establishing a rate
increase for water and sewer services effective October 1, 2008; however these rate increases
were not implemented during fiscal year 2009. As a result, the City utility services were under
billed by an undetermined amount.
City of Wylie, Texas
February 15, 2010
Page 3
We recommend that the City implement internal controls over changes to the City's utility billing
rates. These controls should be formally documented and duties should be adequately
segregated to ensure that only properly authorized rate changes are made.
Management Response:
The City has implemented follow-up meetings the day after Council meetings. Information from
Council meetings, including changes to utility rates, will be relayed to departments at this time.
The new rates will then be input into the computer system, and, following the first billing with the
new rates, various customers will be manually checked to be certain they are being billed
correctly.
Utility Billing Adjustments
There are presently no formal controls over utility billing adjustments. As a result, unauthorized
billing adjustments or refunds could be made without detection.
We recommend the City develop and implement formal controls over utility billing adjustments.
This will help reduce the likelihood that unauthorized billing adjustments could be made and go
undetected.
Management Response:
A policy will be developed and implemented reflecting a more structured approval of
adjustments to utility customer accounts than the current policy where approvals are done via
e-mail. Approval levels will be dependent upon the amount of the adjustment.
A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that
results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial statements
will not be prevented or detected by the City's internal control.
Our consideration of the internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose
described in the first paragraph of this section, and would not necessarily identify all
deficiencies in the internal control that might be significant deficiencies and, accordingly, would
not necessarily disclose all significant deficiencies that are also considered to be material
weaknesses. However, we believe that the significant deficiencies described above are not
material weaknesses.
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City's financial statements are
free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of
laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a
direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts.
City of Wylie, Texas
February 15, 2010
Page 4
However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our
audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of or our tests disclosed
no instances of noncompliance that is required to be reported under Government Auditing
Standards.
We noted certain matters that we reported to management of the City, in a separate letter
dated February 23, 2010.
This report is intended for the information of the City Council, management, and others within the
City, and is not intended to be used and should not be used by anyone other than these
specified parties.

MANAGEMENT LETTER
YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009

February 15, 2010
To the City Manager
and Director of Finance
CITY OF WYLIE
Wylie, Texas
Management of the City of Wylie, Texas (the City) is responsible for establishing and
maintaining the City's internal control structure. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and
judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of
internal control structure policies and procedures.
The City's internal control structure consists of policies and procedures established by
management to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the financial data are
recorded, processed, summarized, and reported consistent with the assertions embodied in the
financial statements. In establishing those policies and procedures, management assesses their
expected benefits and related costs. Because of the inherent limitations in any internal control
structure, errors or irregularities may nevertheless occur and not be detected. Also, projection of
any assessment of the internal control structure to future periods is subject to the risk that
policies or procedures may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the
degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In planning and performing our audit of the City's basic financial statements for the year ended
September 30. 2009, we considered its internal control structure in order to plan our auditing
procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the basic financial statements and not
to provide assurance on the internal control structure. Our report on compliance and on internal
control over financial reporting is documented in a separate letter dated February 8, 2010.
However, certain matters came to our attention that we wish to report to you. These matters,
which were considered by us during our audit of the financial statements and do not modify the
opinion expressed in our report dated February 15, 2010, are presented in the following
paragraphs.
Internal Service Fund
The City presently utilizes an internal service fund to record the balances and activity associated
with its Fleet Replacement Fund. As of September 30, 2009, the fund had approximately $3.2
million in assets, including a cash balance of nearly $940,000. There were no operating
revenues reported in the Fund for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009.
Generally accepted accounting principles state that internal service funds are expressly
designed to function as cost-reimbursement devices. Internal service funds are simply a means
of accumulating costs of a given activity, so that the costs can be allocated to the benefiting
funds in the form of charges or fees. Accordingly, the use of an internal service fund is not
appropriate for activities that a government only partially intends to finance through charges and
fees. Otherwise, costs could be permanently stranded in internal service funds.
AN INDEPENDENT WEAVER AND TIDWELL LLP DALLAS
MEMBER OF BAKER TILLY CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS AND CONSULTANTS 12221 MERIT DRIVE,SUITE 1400,DALLAS,TX 75251

City of Wylie, Texas
February 15, 2010
Page 2
Consequently, internal service funds are only appropriate if a government intends to recover the
full cost of providing a given activity. Significant surpluses or deficits could be evidence that
indicate that the participating funds are not properly reporting the costs of the goods or services
they receive from the internal service fund.
We recommend the City review its Fleet Replacement Fund, and budget future activity so that
costs are being appropriately allocated to the funds that are befitting from them.
Management Response:
The City will review the Fleet Replacement Fund as part of our budget process this fiscal year
and make certain all equipment to be replaced from this fund is properly accounted for in the
fund. Any excess funds remaining in the Fleet Replacement Fund will be transferred back to
the proper fund. Future transfers into the fund will be made to reflect appropriate use of the
fund.

To the City Council
City of Wylie
Wylie,TX
We have completed our audit of the financial statements of the City of Wylie as of and for the
year ended September 30, 2009. Professional standards require that we provide you with the
following information related to our audit.
Our Responsibility under U.S. Generally Accepted Auditing Standards and Government
Auditing Standards
5 As stated in our engagement letter dated May 1, 2009, our responsibility, as described by
professional standards, is to express opinions about whether the fmancial statements prepared by
management with your oversight are fairly presented, in all material respects, in conformity with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our audit of the financial statements does not
5 relieve you or management of your responsibilities.
In planning and performing our audit,we considered the City's internal control over financial
reporting in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our
S opinions on the financial statements and not to provide assurance on the internal control over
financial reporting.
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City's financial statements are free
of material misstatement,we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws,
regulations, contracts, and grants,noncompliance with which could have a direct and material
' effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However,providing an opinion on
compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit.
Other Information in Documents Containing Audited Financial Statements
Our responsibility for other information, including required supplementary information and the
statistical section of the City's comprehensive annual financial report does not extend beyond the
r financial information identified in the report. We applied certain limited procedures, which
consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and
presentation of the supplementary information. However,we did not audit the information.
Nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that such information is materially
inconsistent with the manner of its presentation appearing in the financial statements.
Planned Scope and Timing of the Audit
We performed the audit according to the planned scope and timing previously communicated.

Significant Audit Findings
Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practices
Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The
significant accounting policies used by the City are described in Note 1 to the financial
statements.No new accounting policies were adopted and the application of existing policies was
not changed during the fiscal year ending September 30,2009. We noted no transactions entered
• into by the City during the year for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus.
• There are no significant transactions that have been recognized in the financial statements in a
different period than when the transaction occurred.
•
• Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management
and are based on management's knowledge and experience about past and current events and
assumptions about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because
of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events
• affecting them may differ significantly from those expected. The most sensitive estimates
11 affecting the financial statements were:
Management's estimates relating to the allowance for uncollectible receivables for property
taxes and utility services. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the
• allowances in determining that they are reasonable in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.
• Management's estimates of useful lives in calculating depreciation on capital assets. We
evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimate in determining that it
• is reasonable.
•
Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit
a We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and
• completing our audit.
• Corrected and Uncorrected Misstatements
a
• Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified
• during the audit, other than those that are trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level
of management. There were no material misstatements detected that were corrected by
• management.

Management Consultations with Other Independent Accountants
* In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and
accounting matters, similar to obtaining a"second opinion" on certain situations. If a
consultation involves the application of an accounting principle to the City's financial statements
or a determination of the type of auditor's opinion that may be expressed on those statements,
our professional standards require the consulting accountant to check with us to determine that
• the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our knowledge, there were no such consultations with
• other accountants.
• Other Audit Findings or Issues
• We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and
auditing standards, with management each year prior to retention as the City's auditors.
However, these discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and
our responses were not a condition to our retention.

INTRODUCTORY SECTION
February 23,2010
The Honorable Eric Hogue, Mayor
Members of the City Council
And the Citizens
City of Wylie,Texas
Financial policies of the City of Wylie require that the City's Finance Department prepare a complete
set of financial statements presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP) and audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards by a firm of licensed
certified public accountants. Accordingly,the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report(CAFR)for the
City of Wylie,Texas for the fiscal year ended September 30,2009, is hereby issued.
This report consists of management's representations concerning the finances of the City.
Consequently, management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of all the
information presented in this report. To provide a reasonable basis for making the representations,
management of the City has established a comprehensive internal control framework that is designed
both to protect the City's assets from loss,theft,or misuse and to compile sufficient reliable information
for the preparation of the City's financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Because the cost of
internal controls should not outweigh their benefits, the City's comprehensive framework of internal
controls has been designed to provide reasonable, rather than absolute assurance, that the financial
statements will be free from material misstatement. As management,we assert that,to the best of our
knowledge and belief,this financial report is complete and reliable in all material respects.
The City's financial records have been audited by Weaver and Tidwell, LLP, Certified Public
Accountants, as required by the City Charter. This CAFR has been prepared based upon those
audited records. The goal of the independent audit was to provide reasonable assurance that the
financial statements of the City for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, are free of material
misstatement. This independent audit involved examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements; assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management; and evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. The independent auditor concluded, based upon the audit, that there was a reasonable
basis for rendering an unqualified opinion that the City's financial statements for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2009, are fairly presented in conformity with GAAP. The independent auditors' report
is presented as the first component of the financial section of this report.
GAAP requires that management provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to
accompany the basic financial statements in the form of Management's Discussion and Analysis
(MD&A). This letter of transmittal is designed to complement MD&A and should be read in conjunction
with it. The City's MD&A can be found immediately following the report of the independent auditor.
Profile of the City
The City of Wylie is located in the south central portion of Collin County, approximately 23 miles
northeast of downtown Dallas. Incorporated in 1887, the City adopted its Home Rule Charter on
January 19, 1985, and operates under a council-manager form of govemment. The City Council is
comprised of a Mayor and six council members. All members are elected at-large on a staggered and
nonpartisan basis for three-year terms. They are responsible to enact local legislation, provide policy,
and annually adopt the operating budget. They appoint the City Manager, City Attorney, Judge of the
Municipal Court and members of various boards and commissions. The City Manager, under the
oversight of the City Council, is responsible for the proper administration of the daily operations of the
City.
The City provides a full range of municipal services including general government, public safety
(police, fire, and emergency communications), streets, library, parks and recreation, planning and
zoning, code enforcement, animal control, and water and sewer utilities. Sanitation services are
provided by the City but are privately contracted. The Wylie Economic Development Corporation
(WEDC) is included in the financial statements as a discrete component unit. Its purpose is to aid,
promote and further economic development within the City. The Wylie Park and Recreation Facilities
Development Corporation(4B Corporation)is also combined within the financial statements of the City.
Both WEDC and the 4B Corporation are primarily funded with sales tax revenues. Both corporations
are discussed more fully in the notes to the financial statements.
The annual budget of the City serves as the foundation for its financial plan and control. The budget is
proposed by the City Manager and adopted by the City Council in accordance with policies and
procedures established by the City Charter, ordinances and state law. The budget process begins
each year with a budget message from the City Manager highlighting the objectives to be used in
developing departmental budgets. The departmental budgets are then reviewed by the City Manager
and a proposed budget is prepared for presentation to the City Council. The City Council reviews the
budget in subsequent work sessions and a formal budget is prepared and made available to the public
for review by August 5th each year. Prior to official adoption of the budget by council, public hearing
on the proposed budget is held to allow for public input.
Factors Affecting Financial Condition
The information presented in the financial statements is perhaps best understood when it is considered
from the broader perspective of the specific environment within which the City of Wylie operates.
Local economy
Fast paced growth has, in recent years, been one of the identifying characteristics of the City.
However, the growth has slowed in accordance with current economic conditions. The 2009
population of the City has been estimated to be 38,300. This is approximately the same as the
previous year. The slowdown in growth has also brought about a reduction in residential construction.
Residential construction permits decreased by 49% from the previous year of 500 permits. For the
year ending September 30, 2009 the city issued 253 permits. When both residential and commercial
growth is considered our total tax base grew by 7.88% over the previous year. Our taxable assessed
value this year, as provided by the Collin Central Appraisal District, Dallas Central Appraisal District
and Rockwall Central Appraisal District was$2,184,235,238. While the City growth rate has declined,
the City still maintains a favorable economic environment and is recognized as one of the fastest
growing areas in Collin County and the Dallas-Ft.Worth Metroplex.
Long-term financial planning
In 2006, the City developed a Long-Range Financial Plan. The plan included street and park
improvements, a new city hall, library, fire station, recreation center and sidewalks. The voters of the
City of Wylie authorized the City to issue$73,950,000 in General Obligation Bonds to fund this capital
improvement program. The first series of General Obligation bonds were sold in late March of 2006
and the remaining bonds were sold in August of 2008.
Cash management
The City currently utilizes JP Morgan/Chase Bank and American National Bank as the main
depositories. All City funds are deposited into the JP Morgan/Chase depository on a daily basis. Once
checks and credit card purchases have cleared, the money is transferred to the American National
Bank depository for payroll and accounts payable check processing. All deposits are secured by
allowable securities and held as collateral in the City's account at the Federal Reserve Bank- Boston.
The market value of the pledged collateral are equal to or greater than 102% of the principal and
accrued interest for cash balances in excess of the FDIC insurance coverage.
City officials are allowed by the City Investment Policy and Texas statutes to invest cash balances
during the year. The three overall objectives of the City's investment policy, in their order of
importance, are the preservation and safety of principal, liquidity and yield. At September 30, 2008,
the fair market value of the City's investment portfolio was$103,464,566.
The City has a Local Investment Program in which the City purchases Certificates of Deposits from
local banks using competitive bid procedures.As of September 30, 2009 the program held$4,108,392
in Certificates of Deposit with local banks.
Risk management
The City is exposed to various risk of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of
assets; errors and omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters. During FY2009, the City
purchased general liability, property, public official and police professional liability insurance from the
Texas Municipal League Intergovernmental Risk Pool (the Pool). In addition, the City's workers'
compensation insurance is also with the Pool. United Healthcare provided employee group medical
coverage for FY2009. Employees have the option of providing for any family coverage. The Texas
Workforce Commission provides unemployment benefits to former eligible employees.
Retirement system
The City provides pension benefits to all full-time employees through a nontraditional,joint contributory
defined benefit plan administered by the Texas Municipal Retirement System, an agent multiple-
employer public retirement system. Pension expense for the calendar year ended December 31,
2008,(including prior service costs amortized over 25 years)was$1,222,581.
Awards and Acknowledgements
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a
Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of Wylie for its
comprehensive annual financial report(CAFR)for the fiscal year ended September 30,2008. The City
has participated in the program for many years and has been awarded the Certificate numerous times.
In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, the government must publish an easily readable
and efficiently organized CAFR. This report must satisfy both GAAP and applicable legal
requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe our current report
continues to conform to the Certificate of Achievement program requirements, and we are submitting it
to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate.
iii
The preparation of this report could not be accomplished without the dedicated services of the entire staff of the
Finance Department. We would also like to express our appreciation to all staff members who assisted and
contributed to the preparation of this report. Acknowledgement is also given to representatives of Weaver and
Tidwell, LLP, Certified Public Accountants for their dedicated assistance in producing this report.
Special acknowledgement is given to the City Manager, Mayor and the members of the City Council for their
support for maintaining the highest standards of professionalism in the management of the City of Wylie
finances.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
Members of the City Council
City of City of Wylie, TX
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities,
business-type activities, the discretely presented component unit, each major fund, and the
aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Wylie (the City) as of and for the year ended
September 30, 2009, which collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements as listed
in the table of contents. These financial statements are the responsibility of the City's
administration. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these basic financial statements
based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government
Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
basic financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the basic financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall basic financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the respective financial position of the government activities, business-type activities, the
discretely presented component unit, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund
information of the City as of September 30, 2009, and the respective changes in financial
position and cash flows, where applicable, thereof, for the year then ended in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated
February 15, 2010, on our consideration of the City's internal control over financial reporting and
our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant
agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our
testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of the testing,
and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance.
That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing
Standards and should be considered in assessing the results of our audit.
The accompanying management's discussion and analysis (on pages 3 through 9) and
budgetary comparison information (pages 53 through 55) are not a required part of the basic
financial statements but are supplementary information required by the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted
principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation
of the required supplementary information. However, we did not audit the information and
express no opinion on it.

Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the City of Wylie's basic financial statements. The introductory section,
combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and schedules, and statistical
tables listed in the table of contents are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are
not a required part of the basic financial statements. The combining and individual nonmajor
fund financial statements and schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated, in all
material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The introductory
section and statistical tables have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on them.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
September 30, 2009
As management of the City of Wylie, we offer readers of the City's financial statements this narrative
overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009.
We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with additional
information that we have furnished in our letter of transmittal, which can be found on pages one through
four of this report.
Financial Highlights
• The assets of the City exceeded its liabilities at the close of the fiscal year ended September 30,2009,
by $160,056,812 (net assets). Of this amount, $28,184,633 (unrestricted net assets)may be used to
meet the government's ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
• The City's total net assets increased by $7,732,274. The increase is attributable to increases in
revenues, particularly ad valorem taxes, accompanied by only a small increase in expenditures.
• The City's governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of$82,380,557, a decrease
of$16,090,478 in comparison to the previous year. The decrease is due primarily to expenditures on
capital projects.
• The unreserved portion of the General Fund fund balance at the end of the year was $9,917,733 or
47%of total General Fund expenditures and transfers out.
• Total debt of the City decreased by $4,321,316 during the fiscal year due to payments on bonded
debt.
• Working capital increased in the Utility Fund by $426,476 in comparison to the previous year. An
application of impact fees for debt service expenses in relation to the Muddy Creek Wastewater
Treatment Plant accounts for most of the increase.
Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City's basic financial statements.
The City's basic financial statements comprise three components: 1) government-wide financial statements, 2)
fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains other
supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves.
Government-wide financial statements. The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide
readers with a broad overview of the City of Wylie's finances. This is done in a manner similar to a private-
sector business. Two statements, the Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities, are utilized to
provide this financial overview.
The Statement of Net Assets presents information on all of the City's assets and liabilities with the difference
between the two reported as net assets. Over time, increases or decreases in net assets may serve as a
useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City is improving or deteriorating.
The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the government's net assets changed during the
most recent fiscal year. All changes in net assets are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to
the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flow. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in
this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods(e.g., uncollected taxes
and eamed but unused vacation leave).
Both of the government-wide statements distinguish between governmental activities and business-type
activities. Governmental activities basically account for those activities supported by taxes and
intergovernmental revenues. On the other hand, business-type activities are basically supported by user fees
and charges. Most City services are reported in governmental activities while business-type activities are
reported in the Enterprise Fund.

City of Wylie, Texas
Management's Discussion and Analysis
September 30, 2009
The government-wide statements include not only the City but also a discrete component unit, the Wylie
Economic Development Corporation (WEDC). Although legally separate, WEDC is financially accountable to
the City.
Fund financial statements. The City, like other state and local governments, utilizes fund accounting to
ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. A fund is a grouping of related
accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or
objectives. All of the funds of the City can be divided into two categories: governmental funds and proprietary
funds.
Governmental funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as
governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide
financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of
spendable resources as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year.
Such information may be useful in evaluating a government's near-term financing requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it
is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for
governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better
understand the long-term impact of the government's near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental
fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund
balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental
activities.
The City maintains twenty individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the
Governmental Fund Balance Sheet and in the Governmental Fund Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and
Changes in Fund Balances for the General Fund and the General Obligation Debt Service Fund. All Capital
Projects Funds are combined for a single, aggregated presentation. Data from the other non-major funds are
also combined and reported in a single column. Individual fund data for each of the non-major governmental
funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report.
Proprietary funds. The City maintains two types of proprietary funds: enterprise funds and internal service
funds. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the
government-wide financial statements. The City uses an enterprise fund to account for its water and sewer
operations. Internal service funds are an accounting device used to accumulate and allocate costs internally
among the City's various functions. The City uses an internal service fund to account for its fleet of vehicles
and certain specialized mobile equipment.
Proprietary funds financial statements provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial
statements, only in more detail.
Notes to the financial statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to gain a full
understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements
Other information. In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also
presents certain required supplementary information. Required supplementary information can be found after
the notes to the financial statements.
Government-Wide Financial Analysis
At the end of fiscal year 2009, the City's net assets (assets exceeding liabilities) totaled $160,056,812. This
analysis focuses on the net assets(Table 1)and changes in net assets(Table 2).
Net Assets. The largest portion of the City's net assets, $124,534,040, or 77.81%, reflects its investment in
capital assets (land, buildings, improvements other than buildings, machinery and equipment, construction in
progress), less any related debt used to acquire those assets that is still outstanding. The City uses these

assets to provide services to its citizens, consequently, these assets are not available for future spending.
Although the City reports its capital assets net of related debt,the resources needed to repay this debt must be
provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.
An additional portion of the City's net assets, $7,338,139, or 4.6% represents resources that are subject to
external restrictions on how they may be used. The unrestricted net assets of$28,184,633(17.61%) may be
used to meet the government's ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.

Changes in Net Assets. The net assets of the City increased by $7,732,274 for the fiscal year ended
September 30,2009.
Governmental Activities. Governmental activities increased the City's net assets by $7,417,599 from the prior
year. This was generated primarily by increased ad valorem tax revenue and moderate building activity.
Business-type Activities. Net assets from business-type activities increased by $314,675 from the prior year.
Increased utility revenues from the growth of our customer base was primarily responsible for this increase in
net assets.

Government-Wide Financial Analysis
Governmental funds. The focus of the City's governmental funds is to provide information on near-term
inflows, outflows and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City's
financing requirements. In particular, unreserved fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a
government's net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.
As of the end of the current fiscal year, the City's governmental funds reported combined fund balances of
$82,380,557.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
September 30, 2009
The City did not issue any new bonds during the fiscal year. However,the City continues to maintain favorable
ratings from bond rating agencies. A review during the fiscal year by Moody's Investors Service yielded a
rating increase on the City's revenue bonds from Baal to A3. The current General Obligation, Combination
Tax and Revenue Certificates of Obligation,and Revenue Bonds ratings are as follows.
Moody's Standard
Investors Service &Poor's
General obligation bonds A2 A+
Certificates of obligation A2 A+
Revenue bonds A3 A+
Additional information on the City's long-term debt can be found in the notes to the financial statements on
pages 40-44.
Economic Factors and Next Years's Budgets and Rates
During FY2009, 253 building permits were issued. Although the community has grown substantially in the last
five years, the growth has experienced a marked slowdown in accordance with current economic conditions.
However, an increase of $38,381,856 in the assessed valuation of taxable property was still noted from
FY2009 to FY2010. Our growth pattern is projected to continue into FY2010 at the more modest rate evident in
FY 2009. The current slow down had a significant impact in the development of the FY2010 operating budget.
In FY2010, General Fund revenues and expenditures are budgeted to decrease by 1.78% and 0.48% prior to
other financing sources and transfers out, respectively, over FY2009 revenues and expenditures. This will
provide a 37%estimated fund balance at FY2010 year-end which is larger than the 25%normally targeted.
Water and Sewer Fund operating revenues are budgeted to increase by 2.4% over FY2009 revenues and
operating expenses are projected to increase by 1.8%from FY2009. The FY2010 budget includes a transfer of
impact fees for debt service payments on the Muddy Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant bringing working
capital balances up to acceptable levels.
In the Utility Fund, water and sewer rates were adjusted for the 2010 budget year to compensate for increased
water and sewer charges from North Texas Municipal Water District.
During FY2006, voters authorized the City to issue $73,950,000 in bonds. $35,325,000 was issued in 2006
with the remaining$38,625,000 issued in 2008. Although the tax rate was unchanged from FY2009 to FY2010,
the issuance of these bonds is projected to cause an increase in the I & S tax rate to cover the principal and
interest payments on the additional debt.

RECONCILIATION OF THE GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS BALANCE
SHEET TO THE STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2009
Total fund balance-governmental funds balance sheet $ 82,380,557
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of net assets
are different because:
Capital assets used in governmental activities are not current financial resources
and therefore are not reported in the governmental funds balance sheet(less$2,292,335
in assets allocated to governmental actvities from the internal service fund). 131,177,248
Revenues earned but not available within sixty days of the fiscal year-end are not
recognized as revenue in the fund financial statements. 1,067,779
Internal service funds are used by management to charge certain activities,such as fleet
management,to individual funds.This amount represents the assets less the
liabilities of the internal service fund allocated to governmental activities. 3,237,852
Interest payable on long-term debt does not require current financial resources,therefore
interest payable is not reported as a liability in the governmental funds balance sheet. (645,129)
Costs associated with the issuance of giovemmental long-term debt are expensed when
incurred in the fund statements and capitalized and amortized over the life of the debt in
the government-wide financial statements. 674,946
Long-term liabilities,including bonds payable,are not due and payable in the current
period,and therefore are not reported in the fund financial statements. (112,161,155)

REVENUES, EXPENDITURES AND CHANGES IN FUND BALANCE TO
THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009
Net change in fund balances-total governmental funds. $ (16,090,478)
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities
are different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures.However,in the statement of
activities the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported
as depreciation expense. This is the amount of capital assets recorded in the current period. 24,360,503
Depreciation expense on capital assets is reported in the statement of activities but does not
require the use of current financial resources.Therefore,depreciation expense is not
reported as expenditures in the governmental funds(does not include$525,786 allocated
from the internal service fund). (3,933,086)
Loss on disposition of capital assets results in a reduction of net assets,but the net effect
is not reported in governmental funds. (383,375)
The repayment of the principal of long term debt consumes the current financial resources of
governmental funds,but has no effect on net assets.The amortization of bond issuance
costs,bond premiums,and deferred gain/loss on refunding of long term debt is reported in
statement of activities bu does not require the use of current financial resources.Therefore
the effect of the amortization of these various items are not reported in the statement of
revenues,expenses,and changes in fund balance.
This amount represents the net effect of the following items:
o Repayments-3,627,903
o Amortization of premium on bonds, 18,109,less the amortization of debt issue
costs(32,141)and deferred loss on refunding(29,651) 3,584,220
Current year changes in accrued interest payable and net OPEB liability do not require
the use of current financial resources;and therefore,are not reported as expenditures
in governmental funds. 283,814
Current year changes in the long-term liability for compensated absences do not require
the use of current financial resources;and therefore,are not reported as expenditures in
governmental funds. (164,503)
Internal service funds are used by management to charge the costs of certain activities.
such as fleet management,to individual funds.The net loss of the internal service
fund is allocated entirely to governmental activities. (557,067)
Certain revenues in the government-wide statement of activities that do not provide current
financial resources are not reported as revenue in the governmental funds. 317,571

CITY OF WYLIE, TEXAS
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The City of Wylie (the City) was incorporated in 1848. The City operates under a Council-Manager
form of government as a duly incorporated home rule city as authorized under the constitution of the
State of Texas, and provides the following services: public safety (police and fire), streets, water,
sewer and sanitation, public improvements, culture, planning and zoning, parks and recreation, and
general administrative services.
The City reports in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America (GAAP) as established by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) and the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). The accounting and reporting framework and the
more significant accounting principles and practices are discussed in subsequent sections of this
Note. The remainder of the notes are organized to provide concise explanation, including required
disclosures of budgetary matters, assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues, expenditures/expenses,
and other information considered important to gaining a clear picture of the City's financial activities
for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009.
A. Financial Statement Presentation
The basic financial statements are prepared in conformity with GASB Statement No. 34, which
requires the government-wide financial statements to be prepared using the accrual basis of
accounting and the economic resources measurement focus. Government-wide financial
statements do not provide information by fund, but distinguish between the City's governmental
activities, business-type activities and activities of its discretely presented component unit on the
statement of net assets and statement of activities. Significantly, the City's statement of net
assets includes both noncurrent assets and noncurrent liabilities of the City. In addition, the
government-wide statement of activities reflects depreciation expenses on the City's capital
assets, including infrastructure.
In addition to the government-wide financial statements, the City has prepared fund financial
statements, which use the modified accrual basis of accounting and the current financial
resources measurement focus for the governmental funds. The accrual basis of accounting is
utilized by proprietary funds. Under this method, revenues are recorded when earned and
expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred.
The City also presents Management's Discussion and Analysis, which includes an analytical
overview of the City's financial activities. In addition, a budgetary comparison statement is
presented that compares the original adopted and final amended General Fund budget with
actual results.
B. Financial Reporting Entity
The City's basic financial statements include the accounts of all City operations. In evaluating
how to define the government for financial reporting purposes, management has considered all
entities for which the City is considered to be financially accountable. The City is a home rule
municipality governed by an elected Mayor and six-member City Council, who appoint a City
Manager. As required by GAAP, these financial statements present the City and its component
units, entities for which the City is considered to be financially accountable. The discretely
presented component unit is reported in a separate column in the combined financial statements
to emphasize that it is legally separate from the City.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES-CONTINUED
B. Financial Reporting Entity—Continued
Blended Component Unit
The Wylie Park and Recreation Facilities Development Corporation ("the 4B Corporation") is
presented in the basic financial statements as a blended component unit of the City. The 4B
Corporation's board is substantively the same as the City Council. All members of the 4B
Corporation other than the board are City employees. The City Manager is the Chief Executive
Operating Officer of the 4B Corporation. The purpose of the 4B Corporation, which is financed
with a voter-approved half-cent sales tax, is to promote economic development within the City
through the construction of park and recreation facilities. The 4B Corporation has a September 30
year-end. The 4B Corporation's financial budget, treasury, and personnel functions are totally
integrated with the City's. All of the 4B Corporation's financial information is presented in the
basic and combining financial statements along with the notes to these financial statements. The
4B Corporation does not issue separate financial statements.
Discretely Presented Component Unit
The Wylie Economic Development Corporation (WEDC)is a discretely presented component unit
in the combined financial statements. The governing body of the WEDC is appointed by the City
Council and the WEDC's operating budget is subject to approval of the City Council. The WEDC's
board is not substantially the same as the City Council. The purpose of the WEDC, which is
financed with a voter-approved half-cent City sales tax, is to aid, promote and further the
economic development within the City. The WEDC is presented as a governmental fund type and
has a September 30 year-end. Under a contract with the WEDC, the financial, budget, treasury
and personnel functions of the WEDC are integrated with the City. All of WEDC's financial
information is presented in the combined and combining financial statements along with the notes
to these financial statements. There are no separately issued financial statements of the WEDC.
C. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements
The basic financial statements include both government-wide(based on the City as a whole)and
fund financial statements. The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net
assets and the statement of activities)report information on all of the non-fiduciary activities of the
primary government and its component units. Governmental activities, which normally are
supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type
activities, which rely on fees and charges for support. Additionally, the primary government is
reported separately from the legally separate component unit for which the primary government is
financially accountable.
The government-wide statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct
expenses of a functional category(Public Safety, Urban Development, etc.)or program are offset
by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with specific function
or program. Program revenues include: a) charges to customers or applicants who purchase,
use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or
program, b) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational requirements
of a particular function or program, or c)grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the
capital requirements of a particular function or program. Taxes and other items not properly
included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues. Internally
dedicated resources are also reported as general revenues rather than as program revenues.

CITY OF WYLIE, TEXAS
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES—CONTINUED
C. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements—Continued
Separate fund financial statements are provided for governmental funds and proprietary funds.
Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as
separate columns in the fund financial statements. The major governmental funds are the general
fund, the general obligation debt service fund, and the capital projects fund. GASB Statement No.
34 sets forth minimum criteria (percentage of assets, liabilities, revenues or expenditures
/expenses of either fund category for the governmental and enterprise combined) for the
determination of major funds.The non-major funds are combined in a column in the fund financial
statements. The non-major funds are detailed in the combining section of the financial
statements.
As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide
financial statements.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating items.
Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and
delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations. All
revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as non-operating revenues and
expenses.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the government's
policy to use restricted resources first,then unrestricted resources as they are needed.
D. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting,and Financial Statement Presentation
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources
measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund statements.
Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred,
regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the
year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all
eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met. The government-wide and
proprietary fund financial statements follow the accounting set forth by the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board and all pronouncements of the Financial Accounting Standards
Board issued on or before November 30, 1989. The City has elected not to follow subsequent
private-sector guidance.
Governmental fund level financial statements are reported using the current financial resources
measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as
soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when
they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the
current period. For this purpose, the government considers revenues to be available if they are
collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are
recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service
expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences and claims and
judgments, are recorded only when payment is due. The governmental fund financial statements
follow the accounting set forth by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board.
Property taxes, franchise fees, and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all
considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current
fiscal period. Sales taxes collected and held by the State and merchants at year-end on behalf of
the City are also recognized as revenue. All other revenue items are considered to be
measurable and available only when cash is received by the government.

D. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting,and Financial Statement Presentation—
Continued
Fund Accounting
The following major funds are used by the City:
1. Governmental Funds:
Governmental Funds are those through which most governmental functions of the City are
financed. The acquisition, use and balances of the City's expendable financial resources and
the related liabilities (except those accounted for in proprietary funds) are accounted for
through governmental funds. The measurement focus is on determination of changes in
financial position, rather than on net income determination. The following is a description of
the major Governmental Funds of the City:
a. The General Fund is the operating fund of the City. This fund is used to account for all
financial resources not accounted for in other funds. All general tax revenues and other
receipts that are not restricted by law or contractual agreement to some other fund are
accounted for in this fund. General operating expenditures, fixed charges and capital
improvement costs that are not paid through other funds are paid from the General Fund.
b. The General Obligation Debt Service Fund is used to account for the accumulation of
financial resources for the payment of principal, interest and related costs on general
obligation long-term debt paid from taxes levied by the City.
c. The Capital Projects Fund is used to account for the acquisition or construction of
capital facilities, except those being financed by proprietary funds.
In addition,the City reports the following non-major governmental funds.
a. 4B Sales Tax Revenue Fund accounts for sales tax monies specifically designated for

i. Public Arts Fund accounts for the accumulation of resources specifically designated for
enhancing public art in City public works projects and for acquiring visual art as
determined by the Public Arts Program.
j. 4B Debt Service Fund accounts for the accumulation of resources to be used for the
payment of principal and interest on the 4B Sales Tax Revenue Bonds—Series 1996 and

2. Proprietary Funds:
Proprietary Funds are accounted for using an economic resources measurement focus. The
accounting objectives are a determination of net income, financial position, and changes in
cash flows. All assets and liabilities associated with a proprietary fund's activities are
included on its statement of net assets.
The proprietary funds are financed and operated in a manner similar to private business
enterprise. The costs(expenses, including depreciation)of providing goods or services to the
general public on a continuing basis are financed or recovered primarily through user
charges. Periodic determination of revenues earned, expenses incurred, or net income is
appropriate for capital maintenance, public policy, management control, accountability or
other purposes. The following is a description of the major proprietary fund of the City:
The Utility Fund is used to account for the operations of the water distribution system,
wastewater pumping stations and collection systems. The City contracts with North
Texas Municipal Water District for wastewater treatment.
In addition, the City reports an Internal Service Fund which accounts for financial resources set
aside annually to replace equipment as its useful life is consumed.
E. Cash and Cash Equivalents
The City's cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits, and
short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of
acquisition.
State statutes authorize the City to invest in (1) obligations of the United States or its agencies
and instrumentalities; (2) direct obligations of the State of Texas or its agencies; (3) other
obligation, the principal of and interest on which are unconditionally guaranteed or insured by the
State of Texas or the United States; (4)obligations of states, agencies, counties, cities, and other
political subdivisions of any state having been rated as to investment quality by a nationally
recognized investment rating firm and having received a rating of not less than A or its equivalent;
(5) certificates of deposit by state and national banks domiciled in this state that are (A)
guaranteed or insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or its successor; or (B)
secured by obligations that are described by(1), pledged with third party selected or approved by
the City, and placed through a primary government securities dealer.
Investments maturing within one year of date of purchase are stated at cost or amortized cost, all
other investments are stated at fair value which is based on quoted market prices.

YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES—CONTINUED
F. Inventories, Prepaid Items and Deferred Charges
Inventory is valued at cost (first-in, first-out). The cost of governmental fund type inventory is
recorded as an expenditure when consumed rather than when purchased. Reported inventories
are equally offset by a fund balance reserve, which indicates that they do not constitute
"available, spendable resources"even though they are a component of fund balance. The City is
not required to maintain a minimum level of inventory. Inventories in the Proprietary Funds
consist of supplies and are recorded at the lower of cost or market.
Prepaid balances are for payments made by the City for which benefits extend beyond
September 30, 2009, and the reserve for prepaid items has been recognized to signify that a
portion of fund balance is not available for other subsequent expenditures.
Deferred Charges reported at the government-wide level and in proprietary funds are comprised
of the balance of unamortized debt issuance costs. Issuance costs are amortized over the life of
the related debt using a straight-line method.
G. Receivables and Payables
Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at
the end of the fiscal year are referred to as either "due to/from other funds" (i.e., the current
portion of interfund loans) or "advances to/from other funds" (i.e. the non-current portion of
interfund loans). All other outstanding balances between funds are reported as"due to/from other
funds."Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities and business-type
activities are reported in the government-wide financial statements as"internal balances."
Advances between funds, as reported in the fund financial statements, are offset by a fund
balance reserve account in applicable governmental funds to indicate that they are not available
for appropriation and are not expendable available financial resources.
All trade receivables are shown net of an allowance for uncollectibles. Trade accounts receivable
in excess of 60 days comprise the trade accounts receivable allowance for uncollectibles.
H. Restricted Assets
Certain proceeds of enterprise fund revenue bonds, as well as certain resources set aside for
their repayment, are classified as restricted assets on the balance sheet because their use is
limited by applicable bond covenants or contractual agreements.
Customer deposits received for water and wastewater service are, by law, considered to be
restricted assets. These balances are included in the Utility Fund.
I. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads,
bridges, sidewalks, and similar items) are reported in the applicable governmental or business-
type activities columns in the government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined
by the government as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $15,000 and an
estimated useful life in excess of two years. Such assets are recorded at historical cost. Donated
capital assets are recorded at estimated fair market value at the date of donation.
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or
materially extend assets' lives are not capitalized.

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES-CONTINUED
I. Capital Assets—Continued
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed.
Interest incurred during the construction phase of capital assets of business-type activities is
included as part of the capitalized value of the assets constructed.
Capital assets of the primary government, as well as the component units, are depreciated using
the straight line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Assets Years
Buildings 20-30
Improvements other than buildings 20-50
Machinery and equipment 3-10
J. Compensated Absences
It is the City's policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation and sick pay
benefits. A percentage of accrued sick leave is payable on a longevity basis at the time of
termination. All vacation and sick leave is accrued when incurred in the government-wide and
proprietary fund financial statements. A liability for these amounts is reported in governmental
funds only if they have matured, for example, as a result of employee resignations and
retirements.
K. Long-term Obligations
In the government-wide financial statements and proprietary fund financial statements, long-term
debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental
activities, business-type activities, or proprietary fund type statement of net assets.
Bond premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs, are deferred and amortized over the
life of the bonds using the straight-line method,which approximates the effective interest method.
Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount. Bond issuance costs
are reported as deferred charges and amortized over the term of the related debt.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and
discounts, as well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt
issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported
as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing
uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are
reported as debt service expenditures.
L. Fund Equity
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report reservations of fund balance for
amounts that are not available for appropriation or are legally restricted by outside parties for a
specific purpose.
M. Subsequent Events
The City has evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after September 30, 2009 up
through February 15, 2010, the date the financial statements were issued. During this period,
there were no subsequent events requiring disclosure.

of an investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment the greater the sensitivity of
its fair value to changes in market interest rates.

NOTE 2. CASH AND INVESTMENTS-CONTINUED
Disclosures relating to interest rate risk—Continued
In accordance with its investment policy, the City manages its exposure to declines in fair value
by limiting the weighted average maturity of its portfolio to less than three years.
As of September 30, 2009, the City had the following investments

TexPool $ 99,356,174 45 days
Certificates of Deposit 4,108,392 206 days

Disclosures relating to credit risk
Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the
holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally
recognized statistical rating organization. Presented below is the minimum rating required by
(where applicable) the Public Funds Investment Act, the City's investment policy, or debt
agreements, and the actual rating as of year end for each investment type.
Minimum Rating as

TexPool $ 99,356,174 N/A AAA-m
Certificates of Deposit 4,108,392 N/A N/A
$ 103,464,566
Concentration of credit risk
The City's investment policy does not allow for an investment in any one issuer (other than
investment pools)that is in excess of five percent of the fair value of the City's total investments.
Custodial credit risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial
institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to recover
collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The custodial credit risk for
investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty to a transaction, a
government will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral securities that are
in the possession of another party. The Public Funds Investment Act does not contain legal or
policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits or
investments, other than the following provision for deposits: The Public Funds Investment Act
requires that a financial institution secure deposits made by state or local governmental units by
pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a depository regulated under state law
(unless so waived by the governmental unit). The market value of the pledged securities in the
collateral pool must equal at least the bank balance less the FDIC insurance at all times.

Custodial credit risk—Continued
The City requires all deposits to be covered by Federal Depository Insurance Corporation (FDIC)
insurance and/or collateralized by qualified securities pledged by the City's depository in the
City's name and held by the depository's agent.
As of September 30, 2009 the City deposits with financial institutions in excess of federal
depository insurance limits were under collateralized by$1,478,481.
The City is a voluntary participant in TexPool. The State Comptroller of Public Accounts exercises
responsibility over TexPool. Oversight includes the ability to significantly influence operations,
designation of management, and accountability for fiscal matters. Additionally, the State
Comptroller has established an advisory board composed of both participants in TexPool and
other persons who do not have a business relationship with TexPool. TexPool operates in a
manner consistent with the SEC's Rule2A7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. TexPool
uses amortized cost rather than the market value to report net assets to compute share prices.
Accordingly,the fair value of the position in TexPool is the same as the value of TexPool shares.
NOTE 3. PROPERTY TAXES
The City's property tax is levied each October 1 on the assessed value listed as of the prior January 1
for all real and certain personal property located within the City. Appraised values are established by
the Collin County Central Appraisal District at 100% of estimated market value and certified by the
Appraisal Review Board. The assessed value upon which the tax year 2008 levy was based was
$2,257,630,027. Taxes are due on October 1 and are delinquent after the following January 31.
The City is permitted by Article XI, Section 5 of the State of Texas Constitution to levy taxes up to
$2.50 per $100 of assessed valuation for general governmental services, including the payment of
principal and interest on general obligation long-term debt. The combined tax rate to finance general
governmental services including the payment of principal and interest on long-term debt for the year
ended September 30, 2009 was$0.8989 per$100 of assessed valuation.
In Texas, countywide central appraisal districts are required to assess all property within the appraisal
district on the basis of 100% of its appraised value and are prohibited from applying any assessment
ratios. The value of property within the appraisal district must be reviewed every five years; however,
the City may, at its own expense, require annual reviews of appraised values.
The City may challenge appraised values established by the appraisal district through various
appeals and, if necessary, legal action. Under this legislation, the City continues to set tax rates on
City property. However, if the effective tax rate, excluding tax rates for bonds and other contractual
obligations, adjusted for new improvements, exceeds the rate for the previous year by more than 8%,
qualified voters of the City may petition for an election to determine whether to limit the tax rate to no
more than 8%above the tax rate of the previous year.

Compensated Absences
Compensated absences represent the estimated liability for employees' accrued sick and
vacation leave for which employees are entitled to be paid upon termination. The retirement of
this liability is typically paid from the General Fund and Enterprise Funds based on the
assignment of an employee at termination.
In previous years, the City has legally defeased certain outstanding general obligation debt by
placing funds into irrevocable trusts pledged to pay all future debt service payments of the
refunded debt. As a result, the refunded bonds are considered to be defeased and the liability
has been removed from the City's long-term debt.

NOTE 9. PENSION PLAN
A. Plan Description
The City provides pension benefits for all of its full-time employees through a non-traditional,joint
contributory, hybrid defined benefit plan in the state-wide Texas Municipal Retirement System
(TMRS), one of 827 currently administered by TMRS, an agent multiple-employer public
employee retirement system.
Benefits depend upon the sum of the employee's contributions to the plan, with interest, and the
City- financed monetary credits, with interest. At the date the plan began, the City granted
monetary credits for service rendered before the plan began of a theoretical amount at least
equal to two times what would have been contributed by the employee, with interest, prior to
establishment of the plan. Monetary credits for service since the plan began are a percent(100%,
150%, or 200%) of the employee's accumulated contributions. In addition, the City can grant, as
often as annually, another type of monetary credit referred to as an updated service credit which
is a theoretical amount which, when added to the employee's accumulated contributions and the
monetary credits for service since the plan began, would be the total monetary credits and
employee contributions accumulated with interest if the current employee contribution rate and
city matching percent had always been in existence and if the employee's salary had always
been the average of his salary in the last three years that are one year before the effective date.
At retirement, the benefit is calculated as if the sum of the employee's accumulated contributions
with interest and the employer-financed monetary credits with interest were used to purchase an
annuity.
Members can retire at ages 60 and above with 5 or more years of service or with 20 years of
service. A member is vested after 5 years. The plan provisions are adopted by the governing
body of the City, within the options available in the state statutes governing TMRS and within the
actuarial constraints also in the statutes.
The City of Wylie is one of 827 municipalities having the benefit plan administered by TMRS.
Each of the 827 Municipalities has an annual, individual actuarial valuation performed. All
assumptions for the 12-31-08 valuations are contained in the 2008 TMRS Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report, a copy of which may be obtained by writing to P.O. Box 149153, Austin, Texas
78714-9153.
B. Contributions
The contribution rate for employees is 7%, with the City's matching ratio being 2 to 1, both as
adopted by the governing body of the City. Under the state law governing TMRS, the actuary
annually determines the City's contribution rate. This rate consists of the normal cost contribution
rate and the prior service contribution rate, both of which are calculated to be a level percent of
payroll from year to year. The normal cost contribution rate finances the currently accruing
monetary credits due to the City's matching percent, which are the obligation of the City as of an
employee's retirement date, not at the time the employee's contributions are made. The normal
cost contribution rate is the actuarially determined percent of payroll necessary to satisfy the
obligation of the City to each employee at the time his/her retirement becomes effective. The
prior service contribution rate amortizes the unfunded (overfunded) actuarial liability (asset) over
the remainder of the plan's 25-year amortization period. The projected unit credit actuarial cost
method is used for determining the City contribution rate. Both the employees and the City make
contributions monthly. Because the City needs to know its contribution rate in advance for
budgetary purposes, there is a one-year delay between the actuarial valuation that serves as the
basis for the rate and the calendar year when the rate goes into effect (i.e. December 31, 2007
valuation is effective for rates beginning January 2009.)

NOTE 10. NORTH TEXAS MUNCIPAL WATER DISTRICT—CONTINUED
Under the Act, including specifically Section 27 thereof, and under the Constitution and Statues of the
State of Texas, the District has broad powers to(1) impound, control, store, preserve, treat, transmit,
and use storm and flood water, the water of rivers and streams and underground water, for irrigation,
power and all other useful purposes and to supply water for municipal, domestic, power, industrial
and commercial uses and purposes and all other beneficial uses and purposes; and (2) collect,
transport, process, treat, dispose of, and control all municipal, domestic, industrial or commercial
waste whether in fluid, solid or composite state, including specifically the control, abatement or
reduction of all types of pollution. The City retains no ongoing financial interest equity investments
and/or responsibilities for the District other than the contractual arrangements discussed more fully
herein.
NOTE 11. MUDDY CREEK REGIONAL WASTEWATER SYSTEM
In May 1999, the Cities of Wylie and Murphy in Collin County entered into a contract with the District
to provide for the acquisition, construction, improvement, operation, and maintenance of the Regional
Muddy Creek Wasterwater System (System) for the purpose of providing facilities to adequately
receive, transport, treat, and dispose of wastewater. The District will own the System with Wylie and
Murphy as the initial participants. The District will issue approximately $20 million in bonds to
construct this new facility. Budget calculations for operating costs and debt service for the System on
the service commencement date is based on the following estimated flow ratio: City of Wylie — 2/3
and Murphy— 1/3. "Service Commencement Date" means the first date upon which the System is
available to treat wastewater from the participants. Wylie's long-term commitment to the System's
debt service component is approximately$13.3 million.
The District will send each participant a letter detailing the annual requirement necessary to operate
the System each year. The annual requirement budget will include an operation and maintenance
component and a bond service component. The budgeting ratio described earlier is only valid for the
first year of System operations. In subsequent years, budgets and year-end audits will be based on
actual flow ratios. For example, if the flow measurements indicate that 60% of the flow is produced
by Wylie and 40% by Murphy, then the next year's operating and debt service components would be
allocated using a 60/40 split. If in the future, additional participants are added, then the flow ratios will
be adjusted using the above method.
The contract with the District has a clause for "Credit for Payments Relating to the System. This
clause states: "Each participant shall be entitled to a credit in an amount equal to any funds advanced
by such Participant with the approval of the District for land, engineering, construction or other costs
related to the System and/or the financing thereof". All credits for advance made prior to the Service
Commencement Date shall bear interest from the date of such advance at a rate equal to the net
effective interest rate on the initial issue of the bonds hereunder. The City of Wylie has four such
credits at this time. All credits for advances made prior to the Service Commencement Date shall be
amortized over a period of twenty years, with such amortization to commence on October 1 of the
Fiscal Year following the Service Commencement Date. At September 30, 2005, the City had
recorded $3,188,849 as a restricted accounts receivable. This amount is being amortized over a
twenty year period commencing with fiscal year 2006. The amortization was$117,649 for 2009.
NOTE 12. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
Amounts received or receivable from grantor agencies are subject to audit and adjustment by such
agencies. Any disallowed claims, including amounts already collected may constitute a liability of the
applicable funds. The amounts, if any, of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor
cannot be determined at this time although the City expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial.

NOTES TO REQUIRED SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009
STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE,AND ACCOUNTABLITY
A. Budgetary Information
The City follows the following procedures in establishing the budgetary date reflected in the
financial statements:
1. Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comments.
2. Prior to October 1,the budget is legally enacted through passage of an ordinance.
3. The City Manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts between departments within
any fund; however, any revisions that alter the total expenditures of any fund must be
approved by the City Council. Therefore the fund level is the legal level of control.
4. Budgeted amounts are as originally adopted or as amended by the City Council. During
2009, individual amendments were not material in relation to the original appropriations. Any
budgeted amounts appropriated at fiscal year-end and not spent automatically lapse.
5. Formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control device during the year.
The legally adopted budget is adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted
accounting principles.

(3)Overlapping governments are those that coincide,at least in part,with the geographic boundaries of the City.This
schedule estimates the portion of the outstanding debt of those overlapping governments that is borne by the residents
and businessess of the City of Wylie,Texas.This process recognizes that,when considering the government's ability to
issue and repay long-term debt,the entire debt burden borrne by the residents and businessess should be taken into
account.However,this does not imply that every taxpayer is a resident,and therefore responsible for repaying the debt,
of each overlapping government.
(4)The percentage of overlapping debt applicable is estimated using taxable assessed property values.Applicable
percentages were estimated by determining the portion of the various government's taxable assessed value that is within
the government's boundaries and dividing it by the total taxable assessed value.

Motion to approve Resolution 2010-10(R) authorizing the City Manager to Execute the Wholesale Water
Supply Contract ("Contract") by and between the City of Wylie and the City of Parker, and to Execute Exhibit
"D" to the Contract which is the Interlocal Agreement for Disconnection of Parker Water Service Due to
Nonpayment of City Sewer Charges by and between the City of Wylie and the City of Parker.
Discussion
Approximately four years ago, the City of Wylie and the City of Parker sought to update their respective Water
and Wastewater Certificates of Convenience and Necessity (CCN), and they have been coordinating with the
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to accomplish that task. A CCN defines the service area in which
a utility provider may provide services. Both Wylie and Parker have agreed to the boundaries of their respective
CCNs; however, Wylie currently provides potable water service to several customers located in the City of
Parker's water CCN because Parker cannot provide the necessary water infrastructure at this time. Wylie may
also provide potable water service to future customers located in a portion of Parker's water CCN until such
time that Parker installs the necessary infrastructure. In order for Wylie to provide this service, it is in the best
interest of Wylie and Parker to enter into a Wholesale Water Supply contract that defines the terms and
conditions of this arrangement.
Exhibit "D" to the Wholesale Water Supply Contract is a disconnect agreement. The previous version of
disconnect agreement approved by City Council on January 12, 2010 contained a minor typographical error,
and this version corrects that error. The City of Parker has approved this version.
Parker furnishes retail water service to an area in southeast Collin County, which includes portions of the City
Wylie. Although Parker furnishes retail water service to this area, Wylie furnishes the sewer service.
Texas law requires that in order for Wylie to disconnect or terminate water service for delinquent sewer service
charges by its customers, Wylie must enter into a disconnect agreement with Parker that identifies the terms and
conditions for requesting Parker to disconnect or terminate water service to a customer who is delinquent in
Page 1 of 2

their sewer service charges to Wylie. Based on the recommendations of a legal consultant who specializes in
water law, Wylie has agreed to the terms and conditions set forth in the attached agreement.

Wylie, Texas 75098
Dear Mrs. Manson:
The purpose of this letter is to clarify the impact of certain agreement points between the
City of Wylie and the City of Parker with respect to each city's potable water contract
with the NTMWD. The agreement points are contained in a document titled "Mediated
Settlement Agreement Between Cities of Wylie and Parker, Texas, dated December 1,
2008.
With respect to agreement point no. 1, we offer the following:
A. Water sold by Wylie to Parker will not count against the annual maximum
demand ("take or pay") established by Parker. Water sold by NTMWD to Wylie
will remain the responsibility of the City of Wylie.
B. As long as the water sold by the City of Wylie to the City of Parker is used in
areas of the City of Wylie's city limit or ETJ, the City of Wylie will not need to
obtain authorization from the NTMWD Board of Directors.
C. Water sold by the City of Wylie to the City of Parker will not count against the City
of Parker's current contract limit, which is calculated by multiplying Parker's daily
annual average by 2.5, which is approximately 3.2 MGD. The 3.5 MGD limit
referred to in the settlement document is a physical limitation associated with the
pipeline system serving the City of Parker.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact my office.

INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT FOR DISCONNECTION OF PARKER WATER
SERVICE DUE TO NONPAYMENT OF CITY SEWER CHARGES
This Interlocal Agreement ("Agreement") is by and between the City of Wylie,
Texas ("City"), a Texas home rule municipal corporation, and the City of Parker

RECITALS
WHEREAS, the City and Parker are both "retail public utilities" as defined in
Section 13.002 of the Texas Water Code;

Collin County defined by Certificate of Convenience and Necessity ("CCN") No. 10207
issued to Parker by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality ("TCEQ"), which
includes certain portions of the City;
WHEREAS, the City furnishes sewer utility service to residents of the City, and
the City desires Parker's assistance to collect delinquent sewer service charges from
customers who receive water service from Parker; and
WHEREAS, this Agreement is made by and between the City and Parker
pursuant to the Interlocal Cooperation Act, Chapter 791, Texas Government Code.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City and Parker enter into this Agreement for the
following purposes and consideration:
1. Administration of Utility Accounts. The City shall be solely responsible for
administering City sewer utility customer accounts, and Parker will be solely responsible
for administering Parker water utility customer accounts.
2. Disconnection of Water Service. Parker agrees to disconnect or terminate
water service to a customer for failure to pay undisputed City sewer charges if
requested by the City pursuant to the terms and conditions below. The terms
"disconnected," "terminated," and "discontinued" may be used interchangeably in this
Agreement as applied to water service and water service accounts.
(a) Notice of Termination. The City must send a notice of termination
to the customer and the District that conforms with Title 30, Texas Administrative
Code, Section 291.88(a), as it exists or may be amended, with a copy to Parker.
(b) Request for Termination. If the customer to whom a notice of
termination is sent fails to pay the delinquent sewer charges by the termination
date, or fails to establish that disconnection is otherwise prohibited under Parker
or state regulations, then City may deliver a written request for termination to
Parker to have water service to that customer disconnected. The request should
INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT Page 1
566157.v 1
state the customer's name, sewer utility account number, service address, that
the customer has failed to take required action to avoid water service
disconnection, and that the City has determined that all legal requirements,
including the absence of sick or disabled customers, have been met. Parker has
no duty to independently confirm the information in City's request for termination,
and may rely on City's representations. The City shall comply with the
requirements set forth in 30 Texas Administrative Code § 291.88, as amended.
(c) Service Termination. Parker shall have no obligation to disconnect
a customer's water service until it has received both a notice of termination and
request for termination from the City. Parker will use its best efforts to terminate
water service either by the next workday after the date Parker receives a request
for termination or on the termination date stated in the notice to a customer,
whichever is later.
(d) Compensation to Parker. On the 10th day of each month, the City
shall pay to Parker a disconnection fee of fifty dollars ($50.00) for each water
service account disconnected by Parker at the request of the City during the
previous month.
(e) Restoration of Terminated Water Service. Parker will restore water
service disconnected under this Agreement within thirty-six (36) hours of
receiving notice from the City to restore a customer's service and payment of a
fifty dollars ($50.00) reconnect fee by the customer.
3. Term of Contract. The initial term of this Agreement shall be for one year
beginning on the date of final execution by all parties. This Agreement shall

either party under the express provisions of this Agreement.
4. Right to Terminate Agreement. Either party may terminate this Agreement
at any time after giving the other party thirty (30) days written notice. However, Parker's
right to payment of disconnection and reconnection fees for the performance of its
obligations under this Agreement shall survive termination of this Agreement.
5. Purpose of Agreement. This Agreement is made for the purpose of
facilitating the City's collection of delinquent charges for sewer utility service. No
partnership or joint venture is intended to be created hereby. Parker's sole
responsibility under this Agreement is that of the City's agent for purposes of
disconnecting water service to a customer who has failed to pay undisputed City sewer
service charges.
6. Effect on Water Service. This Agreement shall not be construed to impair
or conflict with Parker's obligations to abide by and enforce its duly adopted rules and
regulations for the provision of retail water utility service set forth in Parker's duly
adopted water rates, as amended from time to time. This agreement has no effect on

Exhibits: Two
Subject
Consider, and act upon, Resolution No. 2010-11(R) evidencing support for a proposed senior assisted living
community to be built in Wylie; authorizing Sphinx Development Corporation to apply to the Texas
Department of Housing and Community Affairs for funding for such senior living community; and providing
for an effective date.
Recommendation
Motion to approve Resolution No. 2010-11(R) evidencing support for a proposed senior assisted living
community to be built in Wylie; authorizing Sphinx Development Corporation to apply to the Texas
Department of Housing and Community Affairs for funding for such senior living community; and providing
for an effective date.
Discussion
The applicant Sphinx Development Corporation is seeking to apply for Housing Tax Credits through the Texas
Department of Housing and Community Affairs which would allow the rents to remain relatively low for the
specified income restricted senior residents. The proposed Senior Living Facilities would be located north of
Brown Street (F.M. 3412) and west of Westgate Way as is restricted to the head of household being 55 years of
age or older.
The subject property was part of a zoning case approved by Council on January 26, 1986 that rezoned 674.2539
acres. Rezoning included single-family, multi-family and retail districts. The subject Tract 15 was designated as
Retail. A Final Plat was approved July 9, 2002 but was never filed with Collin County. A Site Plan for Assisted
Living Facilities was also approved, but has since expired.
In order for an entity to apply for TDHCA funds where the property is within a non-participating Home Fund
City, that entity must get a Resolution from the City indicating the City's support of the project. There is no
liability placed on the City.
A summary of the Housing Tax Credits program is attached.

t'�Multifamily Housing _: Housing Tax Credits - About the Program
Housing Tax Credits Funding Source & Background
About HTC ? The Housing Tax Credit(HTC)Program was created by the Tax Reform Act of 1988.Section
Multifamily Applications 421 of the internal Revenue Code,of 1986,as amended(the Code),is the federal law that
governs the HTC program.Section 42 authorizes tax credits in the amount of$1.75 per
HTC Awardees capita for each state as,adjusted for inflation.For 2005,that inflation adjusted amount
__ generated approximately$43 million in annual tax credit availability.The Texas Department
Archive of Housing and Community Affairs(TDHCA)is the only entity in the state of Texas with the
Fair Housing Resources authority to allocate tax credits under this program.
FAGS` - Since 1987 the HTC Program has provided for the construction or renovation of over
120,000 units of affordable multifamily housing throughout Texas,and is generally
HTC Email List by Zip recognized as the single most effective incentive for the development of new and affordable
Code multifamily housing.

(To view and print PDF,

files) The tax credit program is one of the primary means of directing private capital toward the
creation of affordable rental housing.The tax credits provide investors of affordable rental
housing with a benefit that is used to offset a portion of their federal tax liability in exchange
for the production of affordable rental housing.The value associated with the tax credits
allows residences in HTC developments to be leased to qualified families at below market
rate rents.
To qualify for tax credits,the proposed development must involve new construction or
substantial rehabilitation of existing residential units(at least$12,000/unit in direct hard
costs).The amount of tax credits that may be applied for depends on:the amount and type of
additional funding sources,the total amount of qualified development costs to be Incurred,
the percentage of rant restricted units set aside in the development for eligible tenants,and
location in communities designated as Difficult Development Areas and Qualified Census
Tracts.
Each qualified tax credit development must include a minimum percentage of rent restricted
units to be set aside for eligible tenants.Pursuant to the Code,a qualified housing
development means any development approved by the Department for residential rental
occupancy if the development meets either of the following requirements:
• Twenty percent (20%)or more of the residential units in such development
are both rent restricted and occupied by individuals whose income is fifty
percent(50%)or less AMFI; or
• Forty percent(40%)or more of the residential units in such development
are both rent restricted and occupied by individuals whose income is sixty
percent(60%) or less of AMFI.
Tax credits may only be claimed on the units that have been set-aside for participation under
this program.it is possible,but not required,for development owners to set aside one-

hundred percent(100%)of any development for consideration under the tax credit program
and In doing so claim the maximum amount of tax credits eligible for the development
For a more detailed description of the.program see our information Guide for the most current
year.
(DO)
Program Administration
Pursuant to Section 42 of the Code,the Department must develop a plan for the selection of
eligible developments;this plan is known as the Qualified Allocation Plan and Rules(QAP).
The QAP is revised annually and Is formalized for the following year when it Is signed by the
Governor.This revision process includes a public comment period.it is the goal of TDHCA to
encourage diversity through broad geographic allocation of tax credits within the state,and to
promote maximum utilization of the available tax credit amount The criteria utilized to realize
this goal includes a point based scoring system and an evaluation of other non-point based
factors that may include each application's:
• cost and financial feasibility;
• geographic location within the state as compared to other developments
applying for tax credits;
• impact on the concentration of existing tax credit developments and other
affordable housing developments within specific markets and sub-markets;
• site conditions;
• development team experience; and
• consistency with the goal of awarding credits to as many different
applicants as possible
Those applications which are deemed to have a high priority in their regional area based on
the review criteria,are subject to an underwriting and portfolio management review which
evaluates the development's projected construction costs and financial feasibility,and the
applicanrs past performance.Applications which pass the underwriting process and are
determined to have the highest priority will be presented to TDHCA's Board of Directors for
consideration.
(fop)
HTC Program Funding:Set Asides and Regional Allocation
Tax credits are allocated in accordance with Section 2305.111 of the Texas Government
Code,which requires that the credits be allocated on a.regional basis.There are thirteen
state service regions;each of the thirteen state service regions is further divided into Rural
and UrbanlExurban areas each of which is targeted to receive a pre-determined amount of
the tax credits for each year.The amount per area Is based on a regional distribution formula
which is generated,with public input,by the Housing Center of TDHCA.Upon finalization of
the formula,the targeted allocations will be released.Additionally,the HTC Program has
several allocations andfor set-asides which it strives to meet at least 10%of all credits must
be awarded to Qualified Nonprofits,at least 15%of each region's credit allocation is targeted
to At-Risk Developments and at least 5%of each region's credit allocation is targeted to
developments funded by the U.S.Department of Agriculture.
MAD
Additional Initiatives
Efforts are made in the allocation of funds and the planning process to ensure the
involvement of housing advocates, community-based institutions, developers, local
ht rr/hvww tribes;date tv nc/mnitifamilvlhtr./rlecrrintinn htnt 7/5/1nr10

municipalities and other interested parties.The Department encourages local cities to support
and contribute funds toward the development of tax credit developments. The Department
also encourages the participation of elected officials and neighborhood-based groups. The
Department requires recipients of tax credits to document the participation of minority owned
businesses in the development and-management of tax credit developments.The OAP also
defines a series of point based selection criteria items to ensure that the housing proposed In
the applications Is with the program's goals.
