PUBLIC HEARING ON THE AMENDMENT TO ORDINANCE 85-60 WHICH
CREATED THE BENEDICT ESTATES PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT,
ADDING A TEMPORARY BUILDING FOR A SALES OFFICE AS AN
ADDITIONAL PERMITTED USE : Mr . Roy Faires, Code Enforcement
Officer, said this request and public hearing was brought
before the Planning and Zoning Commission . Mr . Faires also
stated that Ordinance 85-60 created a Planned Unit
Development - Benedict Estates presently known as Stone
Grove Estates. The zoning ordinance provides that a sales
office shall be in a model home, in a normal sub-division.
A Planned Unit Development is not a normal sub-division. In
this particular PUD you have seven (7) builders, all of whom
have already built a home in this area. If the sales office
was put in one of these homes, then that builder would have
an advantage over the other six (6) builders. The interest
of the staff and Planning and Zoning was to uphold the
ruling of no temporary buildings for sales office. After
much discussion, the Planning and Zoning Commission does
recommend this amendment to Ordinance No. 85-60 allowing for
a temporary building by unanimous vote.
Mayor Trimble opened the public hearing, there being no
questions or comments from the citizens, the public hearing
was closed .

the amendment to Ordinance No. 85-60 adding a temporary
building for a sales office as an additional permitted use.
Seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Donovan. The vote was as follows :
Mayor Trimble - in favor , Mayor Pro Tem Donovan - in favor,
Councilman Akin - in favor, Councilman Westerhof -
abstained, Councilman Crane - abstained, and Councilman
Blakey - abstained. This motion carried with three in
favor , and three abstaining.
APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION TO PROVIDE AND ESTABLISH A DEFERRED
COMPENSATION PLAN FOR CITY EMPLOYEES THROUGH ICMA RETIREMENT
CORP: City Manager John Pitstick stated that this offers
several deferred plans and is a supplement to our current
retirement plan. This will be available to employees if
they so choose. The only cost to the City is 5% of the City
Manager' s salary. Councilman Akin wanted to know if we had
ever had this before. City Manager John Pitstick said not
to his knowledge. Motion was made by Mayor Pro Tem Donovan
to approve the resolution to provide and establish a
deferred compensation plan for City employees through ICMA
Retirement Corp. Seconded by Councilman Akin.
Councilman Crane wanted to know if this would cause any
further expense to the budget other than the 5% already
budgeted. City Manager John Pitstick said no.
The vote was as follows : Mayor Trimble - in favor, Mayor
Pro Tem Donovan - in favor, Councilman Akin - in favor,
Councilman Westerhof - in favor , Councilman Crane - in
favor, and Councilman Blakey - in favor. This motion
carried with all in favor.

Staff recommends bid to go to the lower bidder , Wurstex
Tower Company of Gainesville, Texas in the amount of
$6 ,315.00 . City Manager John Pitstick said this was a turn
key job and this has to be completed before moving the
dispatch for the Police Station to the new complex .
Councilman Crane wanted to know if the tower was coming down
in section and if so, be sure to check the paint . If it
needs to be painted , it would be a lot easier to paint on
the ground instead of after being put back up.
Motion was made by Councilman Westerhof to award the bid to
Wurstex Tower Company of Gainesville, Tex . in the amount of
$6 ,315 .00 . Seconded by Councilman Akin. The vote was as
follows : Mayor Trimble - in favor , Mayor Pro Tem Donovan -
in favor, Councilman Akin - in favor, Councilman Westerhof -

AUTHORIZATION TO SEEK BIDS ON THE PURCHASE OF A SANITARY
SEWER PUMP TRUCK: City Manager John Pitstick said the City
is required to have a back up system to our pumping system
and this is to satisfy the Texas Water Commission.
Councilman Westerhof wanted to know if it would appease TWC
to contract with a pumping service. Finance Director James
Johnson said TWC did not go for that last time and the cost
for contracting is greater than purchasing a used truck.
Mr. Johnson also said if Council would take a short break,
there is a truck here for you to look at in order to see
what we are talking about going out for bids on. Motion was
made by Mayor Pro Tem Donovan to grant authorization for

DISCUSS THE TEXAS WATER COMMISSION ENFORCEMENT ORDER
SUMMARY : Mr . Ron Homeyer, Assist . Engineer , stated this was
to bring Council up to date on the enforcement order. Staff
has completed every thing by dead line dates or before up to
this time. We are working toward getting the treatment
plant under way - bids will be open on March 1 . City
Manager John Pitstick said there is a detailed report that
is going to Austin on Jan. 5 , 1988 for Texas Water
Commission' s approval .
DISCUSS PRIORITIZED SEWER COLLECTION SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS AS
REQUIRED BY TEXAS WATER COMMISSION: Mr . Ron Homeyer,
Assist. Engineer, said that there are two proposals. Plan B
involves extending gravity sewer lines from Newport Harbor,
Southfork Mobile Home Park, Presidential Estates and to
Steel Industrial Park. There is an approximate cost of
$4 ,518 ,000 . Councilman Akin asked if Impact Fees and Lift
Station Fees are in this . Mr . Homeyer said not right now,
this is all bonded money from the State. Mr . Homeyer stated
that Plan A would be a gravity system to Steel Industrial
Park and a lift station and force main system for Newport
Harbor, Presidential Estates . This line and force main will
be sized only for the 88 lots in Newport Harbor and 89 lots
in Presidential Estates . The approximate cost of Plan A is
$1 ,781 ,000 . City Manager John Pitstick said that staff was
going to show both plans to Texas Water Commission and
stated that the City would like to do Plan B but there is
not any money for this and therefore will need to do Plan A.
CITIZEN PARTICIPATION: Mayor Trimble welcomed anyone
wishing to speak to the council to come forward at this
time. Mayor Trimble also requested that those wishing to
speak to keep their time to within five (5 ) minutes. There
was no one at this time.

there has been any thought given to open house for the new

Service was on line. City Manager John Pitstick said they
are on line and are housed in the old police station at this

Councilman Crane also said he had not received the monthly
sewer plant report and would like to get these monthly.
City Manager John Pitstick said he would check on these and
get them out to the Council .
Councilman Akin said that the addresses in Point North did
not seem to follow in order . Mr . Faires said this is
because there is a North and East for Gaston Ave. That is
causing a problem although the addresses are correct they
need North or East included .
City Manager John Pitstick said the Auditors have just
finished the annual audit and would like to have a workshop
with the Council on Monday, Jan. 4 , 1988 at 6 : 30 P. M. in
the Library workroom.

JANUARY 4, 1988
The Wylie City Council met in a called session on Monday,
January 4 , 1988 at 6 :30 P.M. in the Rita & Truett Smith
Library workroom. A quorum was present and notice of the
meeting had been posted in the time and manner required by
law. Those present were Mayor Chuck Trimble, Mayor Pro Tem
Sandra Donovan, Council Members Calvin Westerhof , Chris
DiTota, Marvin Blakey, John Akin, and Kent Crane, City
Manager John Pitstick , City Secretary Carolyn Jones , Finance
Director James Johnson, Auditors Brent Doll , Scott Hatfield
and Mr . Charles Binford from Binford Financial Consultants.
Mayor Trimble called the meeting to order and Councilman
Westerhof gave the invocation.
PRESENTATION OF COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT:
Finance Director James Johnson stated that this report was a
little different from last years as the staff was going to
submit this report to the Government Finance Officers
Association along with an application for the certificate of
achievement for excellence in financial reporting . It is
very unusual for a city to receive this award the first time
they submit an application for it, but hope to receive the
award in the future.
Mr . Johnson explained the reporting entity and its services
and went over the local economy for the metroplex. The fund
structure of the City is set up to where each fund is
considered to be a separate accounting entity. Mr. Johnson
also explained that the City' s accounting records for
general governmental operations are maintained on an accrual
basis. The revenues for the City of Wylie fell short of the
estimated projections. The tax revenues were up along with
the miscellaneous revenues, but the licenses and permit fees
were down and the franchise taxes were down. The sales tax
has not increased as staff thought it would with the growth
the City has had. The City has collected 92 .4% of the
current taxes, these have been slow in coming in. This
92 .4% is low compared to other years of collections.
Overall the City ended its fiscal year with a $227 ,677
deficit in the general fund , with water and sewer fund
ending with a $147 ,925 deficit.
Mr. Johnson and the auditors went over each fund and their
balance and the line items that had not produced the
revenues as estimated.
Mr. Binford stated that the computation of direct and
overlapping debt shows the City is very small compared to
the School District and County and College Districts. The
summary shows the tax rate for the City has set at $ .49
since 1984 and yet the School tax rate has claimed very year
since 1984 .
Mr . Johnson, Finance Director, stated that the sales tax and
and ad valorem taxes have come in slow since 1985 and this
is a direct relationship to the economy.
Councilman Akin asked Mr . Binford how this 92 .4% collection
of taxes compared to other cities. Mr . Binford said Plano
is collecting 98% and other cities in this area are around
94% to 95% collections.
Councilman DiTota wanted to know what the auditors would
recommend for setting up the reserve fund for General Fund.
Mr. Scott Hatfield, Auditor, said usually we recommend two
S
months expense but with the deficit the City has you should
have four (4) to six (6 ) months expenses.
Councilman Akin wanted to know if Mr . Binford felt it was
hard to predict revenues with the economy like it is. Mr .
Binford said yes it was .
Mr . Johnson, Finance Director , said he expects revenues to
come in slow again this year and unless economy picks up it
could be worst than last year .
Mr . Brent Doll , Auditor, went over the management letter and
voiced his concern about the type data system the City has .
This system is not designed to pull the reports you are
trying to pull and therefore causes a lot of problems each
month at closing . Mr . Doll also stated that in the past he
has wanted to have better controls over purchasing and this
year there was a manual on purchasing and there seems to be
better controls. Mr . Doll also stated that over all the
accounting staff is improving, but is is not a strong staff
and they need more education.
City Manager John Pitstick stated that there were enough
people in finance, but the system is not working the way we
need it. We need to replace the soft ware system we have.
City Manager John Pitstick also stated that he had rather
spend money on soft ware than adding more people.
Councilman Akin asked if the auditors come out once a year
or periodically. Mr . Doll said they come quarterly to check
the records and more often if there is a problem and James
call them out .
Mayor Trimble recessed the open meeting and convened Council
into executive session at 8 :00 P.M. under the authority of
Article 6252-17 V.A.C.S. , Section 2 paragraph "g" personnel
matters - alternate Judge for upcoming election.
Mayor Trimble reconvened the Council into open session at
8 :10 P.M.
There being no other business, a motion was made to adjourn

1-8-88 and Construction of a Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant
This is a general resolution that has been
forwarded to all cities in the Muddy Creek
Drainage area.
The Cities of Wylie and Murphy are under

solution.

One of the bond subcommittees is proposing monies
to be allocated fora county wide wastewater plan.
Staff feels this is an important beginning in

Ken' s Communications-Tower Agreement and
Termination of Existing Agreement
As you are aware , the City is currently in the process
of having it ' s public safety communications tower
relocated from the old police station facility to the
new municipal complex . The agreement between the City and
Ken' s Communications is for a twenty (20) year period

Subject : Sanden Boulevard Alignment from
F .M. 544 to S .H. 78
Dear John:
You requested a review of our conceptual analysis of
alignments of the proposed Sanden Blvd. The following is a
brief discussion of each alignment which we presented to
your City Council work session in July of this year . Please
refer to attached Exhibit .
Alignment 1
. On the periphery of 100-year floodplain. Will minimize
impact on floodplain.
. Aligns with Century Way.
. Will not require construction of bridge.
Disadvantages
. May unfavorably divide Sanden tract . Without plant
site plan this factor is indeterminate .
. Limits traffic access to the west if an additional road
is not constructed leading westerly.
. Unfavorable grade crossing at S.H. 78 from A. T.& S .F.
Railroad - approximately a 10 ft . to 11 ft . vertical
change over a 75 ft . to 80 ft . horizontal distance or a
range from 12% to 13%. To minimize this unfavorable
grade several alternatives may be chosen:
McKinney, Texas 75069 • (214)548-4616 • 231-7170 (Metro)
i . raise the grade of S .H. 78 when State Department
of Highways and Public Transportation improves
S .H. 78 .
ii lower the grade of A. T . & S .F . Railroad - a very
costly and time-consuming project because of the
railroad involvement .
iii . or a combination of i & ii .
Since the cost of lowering the railroad grade would be
prohibitive, the only choice is to raise the grade of
S .H. 78 . Raising the grade of S .H. 78 would affect the
crossing of Alaniz Street and Century Way Street .
Alignment II
Advantages
. Less disruptive to Sanden tract than Alignment I .
. Affords a better westerly alignment with C .R. 297 .
Disadvantages
. Does not have a favorable north-south alignment .
. Requires a major bridge structure .
. Traverses the floodway and floodplain.
. Unfavorable grade crossing between A.T . & S .F . R. R. to
S .H. 78 .
Alignment III
Advantages
. Alaniz horizontal alignment conforms to City of Wylie 's
proposed thoroughfare alignment .
. Provides a more direct access to S .H. 78 from F .M. 544 .
. Provides favorable north-south alignment .
Disadvantages
. Requires the construction of two bridge structures .
. Unfavorable grade crossing and transition to and from
S .H. 78 . Grade would be in excess of 10%.
. Alignment affects northeast abutment of railroad
trestle (bridge) . Would require major modification to
trestle .
Alignment IV
Advantages
. Requires construction of one major bridge structure.
. Does not adversely impact 100-year floodplain.
. Most favorable grade crossing on S .H. 78 - less than
3%.
. Does not require alteration of railroad grade.
Disadvantages
. Does not align with present Alaniz Road alignment .
. Does not totally conform to City of Wylie ' s future
thoroughfare.
All alignments will require a minor drainage structure
on the south side of A.T. & S .F. Railroad. The grade
crossing slopes to S .H. 78 may be lessened by lowering the
railroad grade and raising the height of S .H. 78 . However,
altering the railroad grade would necessitate the
construction of a new railroad track and bridge trestle
parallel to the existing track because the line is under
continuous daily use .
Assuming all unit road construction costs, i .e. ,
concrete base stabilization, and right-of-way, are equal
for all alignments the major differences that influence the
project costs significantly are:
(a) Railroad grade crossing
(b) Number and size of major drainage structures, i . e.
bridges
( c) Location of road with respect to the 100-year
floodplain
a7
Alignment III would be comparatively the most costly
because of the extra bridge structure required, the
adjustment of a railroad trestle and the adverse slope onto
S . H. 78 .
In the future , Alaniz may be extended westward to match
up to Alignment IV on S .H. 78 . The westward extension of
Alaniz south of S.H. 78 would require an additional bridge
structure of a span equal to the structure on S . H. 78 .
During the preliminary conceptual analysis of Sanden
Boulevard, we will ask the consulting engineer to assess
these alignments once again. Please call me if you have any
questions .

Staff Report to Mayor and City Council
DATE: SUBJECT: NO:
1-8-88 New Compensation and Pay for Performance Plan
A new Compensation and Pay for Performance Plan
has been structured for the City of Wylie to help
provide a more equitable compensation program for
all employees . The basic concept of the new
system is that job responsibility and job
performance are the key determinants of an
employees salary.
An extensive survey has been conducted with 22
state wide cities for job ranges for all employee
positions. All positions have also been
evaluated by eight job factors including
education, experience, management skills, human
relations skills, responsibility, guidance
received , complexity and working conditions.
These help determine the relative worth of jobs to
the overall organization.
The proposed salary structure is enclosed along
with the performance manuals for all employee
evaluations. Under the new plan each employee
will be evaluated every six (6) months and can
only receive a merit adjustment through their job
performance. A full presentation will be given
Tuesday night on the new Compensation and Pay for
Performance Plan .

1-8-88 Salary Adjustments under new Compensation Plan (�
Under the new Compensation Plan we are
recommending slight increases to get some
employees to new minimum ranges in order to
properly compete with area cities . A list of
these individual adjustments are included . As you
recall a line item in the City Manager budget
reserved for salary increases was $37,500 . The
current adjustments total $15,864 . which would
leave $21 ,636 . We are earmarking these funds to
be used for individual merit raises depending on
performance rating . This would leave us with a
3 .5% merit pool .
We recommend approval of the salary adjustments in
order to begin the new Compensation and Pay for
Performance Plan.

1-8-88 Proposed 87-88 Budget Cuts under Rollback Election
A three page summary of the City of Wylie' s current
situation regarding the rollback election is enclosed.
This is as direct and honest as I can be regarding
summarizing our situation. If the rollback passes we
would need to cut about $235,000 . Approximately
$50,000 was saved when we contracted with Lifeline for
ambulance services.
We are recommending a total of six (6 ) positions be cut
immediately. This involves four (4) police patrolmen
and two (2) librarians. We currently have one opening
in patrol which would only require three (3) layoffs in
police. The three police patrolman would be cut as
determined strictly by job performance and not by
seniority or rank.
All departments have been informed of the cuts. All
positions being affected by this lay-off would be given
a two week notice.

CITY OF WYLIE
1987/88 GENERAL FUND BUDGET
AND ROLLBACK ELECTION
The 1987/88 General Fund Budget required an increased tax
rate of .10 , from .49 to .59 to respond to a drastic slow
down in the economy and pay for increased debt requirements.
This represents and average increase of $6.66 per month or
$80. per year per property owner assuming an appraised value
of $80 ,000 .
The City of Wylie is also offering an increase in senior
citizens exemption from $15 ,000 . to $30,000 . With this
increase, 113 senior citizens out of 223 listed on the tax
roles will be totally exempted from paying property taxes .
As the .59 tax rate all senior citizens that still own the
same house as last year are paying less taxes to the City of
Wylie.
A total of 16 positions have been eliminated prior to
January 1 , 1988 to keep a balanced budget during the 1987/88
budget year.
The positions are as follows :
City Manager' s Secretary
Development Inspector
Accountant
Library Aide
4 Parks Workers
Street Worker
Water Worker
Sewer Worker
Utility Worker
Public Works Director
Engineering Secretary
Emergency Medical Supervisor
Emergency Medical Attendant
The elimination of 16 positions has left the City with 59
full time employees entering 1988 to serve 8 ,000 residents
and over 12 square miles of land. In 1985/86 the City of
Wylie had 63 full time employees to serve 5,000 residents
and 4 .75 square miles of land.
The ability to service newly acquired land and an increase
in population will continue to strain service levels over
the next year.

DIRECT IMPACTS OF TAX ROLLBACK
AT .50 TAX RATE
HEAVY BURDENS ON POLICE SERVICES -- Currently the Police
Department has 3 vehicles patrolling 24 hours a day over 50
miles of streets and serving approximately 8000 citizens.
Tax rollback cuts would allow only 2 patrol vehicles on the
streets at any one time putting staff at 1985 levels when
the city had 24 miles of streets and only 5000 citizens.
Response to emergency situations will be severely hampered.
ELIMINATION OF FULL SERVICE LIBRARY -- Tax rollback cuts
would eliminate all Library personnel and cause the city to
seek volunteer help to staff the Library at reduced hours of
operation.
ELIMINATION OF PARK SERVICES -- Tax rollback cuts would
eliminate all Park personnel and require volunteer services
for much of the maintenance of parks and right of ways
within Wylie.
LONG TERM COST FOR BORROWING MONEY IN THE FUTURE -- Tax
rollbacks in cities are seen by bond rating agencies as a
limitation for cities to have the ability to pay off debt
and as a result can end up costing Wylie residents thousands
of dollars due to increased interest rates when the city
seeks to borrow money in the future.
A tax rollback in affect is a bad credit rating on the city
and could affect Wylie citizens 20 years in the future.
If the rollback election were to pass, the City would be
required to make additional cuts totaling over $200 ,000 and
have to eliminate more employees and several service areas .
If the rollback election were to pass the most likely
service cuts would be the Police services such as reduction
in patrols and crime watch programs; Park maintenance such
as reduction in mowing and maintenance of parks and Library
services such as drastic cutback in hours of operations and
services.
ROLLBACK CUTS REQUIRED AT .50 TAX RATE

Four (4) Patrol Officers $ 57 ,000 .
Clothing Allowance 9,250 .
Police Fuel 5,000.
Special Purpose Equipment 4 ,000 .

Use of County Jail 1 ,150.

Service Force Main and Gravity Sewer System
Review
We have reviewed the revised plans submitted to us on the
above referenced project, dated December 22, 1987. It
appears that the drawings now_ address some of our earlier
comments, but the entire project is still missing other
information. The following comments summarize our review of
the project from the data supplied.
LIFT STATION
The submitted drawings still have no more details on the
lift station than the earlier drawings. Therefore, the com-
ments in our letter dated December 10, 1987 still apply.
FORCE MAIN AND GRAVITY SEWER SYSTEM
The following comments and recommendations summarize our
review of the drawings of the force main and gravity sewer
system:
1 . The drawings now address pipe material type and
class and include a test pressure for acceptance
testing of all pipes. These appear appropriate
for this application.
2 . Specifications regarding pipe bedding and pipe
zone material are also addressed now and appear
appropriate.

3 . Details of fitting restraint such as thrust block-
ing or restrained joints should be included. The
drawings now state that 3,000 psi concrete will be
used at all vertical bends, but no details are
provided to show how much concrete should be pro-
vided or how it should be placed. It should also
be noted that thrust blocks are necessary at all
horizontal bends.
4 . The drawings need to show the force main angle at
Station 6+35.
5. From Station 39+25 to Station 58+75, the force
main is 5 feet from a 12-inch water line. If the
force main was moved to 10 feet from the water
line, the force main could be laid shallower.
This could help eliminate the flat slope from Sta-
tion 52+00 to Station 59+00.
6. Air relief valves are now provided at all high
points in the force main and blow-off valves are
provided at all low points. However, the drawings
just use the wording provided in our December 10 ,
1987 letter to "specify" these assemblies. The
Engineer should specify the manufacturer and type
of valves to be used, and provide details for the
installation of the entire assembly including
access manholes, etc.
7. Discharge to the gravity system should be at the
highest point in the line. As designed, the dis-
charge is 2 feet below the force main high point
at Station 98+00. This will allow the force main
to partially drain at pump shutoff. This condi-
tion needs to be evaluated further to ensure the
pumps stay on their operating curve, and a vacuum
does not occur in the line which might collapse or
damage the pipeline.
8. The drawings now state:
"The Contractor shall perform no trenching in
excess of 5 ' -0" in depth until such time as the
Owner furnishes to the Contractor detailed plans
and specifications for trench safety systems
Mr. Ron Homeyer
Page 3
December 31 , 1987
TX21259.BO. 20
conforming to OSHA Requirements prepared by the
Owner' s special consultant. "
Since the drawings now show much of the pipeline
to be deeper than 5' -0" , why not provide these
details now? We are not sure that the statement
included on the Drawings meets the intent of the
new Trench Safety Law.
If we can be of any further service to you on this project,
please let us know.
Sincerely,

points in the force main and blow-off valves are
provided at all low points. However, the drawings
just use the wording provided in our December 10 ,
1987 letter to "specify" these assemblies. The
Engineer should specify the manufacturer and type
of valves to be used, and provide details for the
installation of the entire assembly including
access manholes , etc.
7. Discharge to the gravity system should be at the
highest point in the line. As designed, the dis-
charge is 2 feet below the force main high point
at Station 98+00. This will allow the force main
to partially drain at pump shutoff. This condi-
tion needs to be evaluated further to ensure the
pumps stay on their operating curve, and a vacuum
does not occur in the line which might collapse or
damage the pipeline.
8. The drawings now state :
"The Contractor shall perform no trenching in
excess of 5 ' -0" in depth until such time as the
Owner furnishes to the Contractor detailed plans
and specifications for trench safety systems
Mr. Ron Homeyer
Page 3
December 31 , 1987
TX21259.B0. 20
conforming to OSHA Requirements prepared by the
Owner' s special consultant. "
Since the drawings now show much of the pipeline
to be deeper than 5 ' -0" , why not provide these
details now? We are not sure that the statement
included on the Drawings meets the intent of the
new Trench Safety Law.
If we can be of any further service to you on this project,
please let us know.
Sincerely,
