family residential uses, generally located south of Alanis Drive and west of
Ballard Avenue. ZC 2006-18 (R. 011ie, Planning Director)
Staff Comments
Planning Director 011ie addressed Council stating that the subject property is located south of Alanis Drive
and west of Ballard Avenue. The applicant is requesting to rezone 1.746 acres to allow for single family
residential uses. The subject property has been within the corporate city limits of Wylie since 1988 and
was final platted in April 2006. The plat created two single-family residential lots each being 38,028
square feet (0.873 acres) in size. At the time of platting no plans for development were submitted. The
applicant now desires to construct a residential dwelling on one lot. Because the property was in a
holding zone of Agricultural, it must now convert to permanent zoning prior to construction and prior to the
issuance of building permits. The Comprehensive Plan recommends low density residential for the
subject property.

Mayor Mondy opened the Public Hearing at 6:20 p.m. asking anyone present wishing to
address Council on Zoning Case #2006-18 to come forward.

2. (MOTION TO REMOVE FROM TABLE) Consider, and act upon, approval of
Resolution No. 2006-26(R) supporting an alignment for Parker Rd. (FM 2514) at the
intersection of FM 1378. (C. Holsted, City Engineer)
Council Action
A motion was made by Councilman Byboth to remove Resolution No. 2006-26(R)from the table
and consider. Consensus of Council was to remove and consider.
Staff Comments
City Engineer Hoisted addressed Council stating that this item was tabled on December 12, 2006 to allow
time for the Engineering Department to contact residents/businesses in the area to obtain more
information regarding the proposed options. A meeting was held on December 13, 2006 with
representatives from the Town of St. Paul to discuss the alignment alternatives. He reported that out of
the meeting, it was determined that the Town of St Paul had previously chosen Option #2 which realigns
the intersection east of 1378. He explained that they also indicated that their engineer was working on the
intersection with the new alignment and Parker Road and should have something completed within 60
days. Mr. Hoisted commented that he would present a copy to Council when he received it. Mr. Holsted
told Council that Mr. Schattner representing lmperium Holdings, LP and addressing the west side of 1378
near the proposed intersection was present for comments.
Council Discussion
Mayor Mondy asked Mr. Holsted if the Council went with Option #1 or#2, did that mean there would be a
controlled intersection. City Engineer Hoisted replied that yes there would be a four way controlled
intersection at Parker Road and 1378. City Engineer Hoisted stated that the City of Parker had reported
that the businesses currently in the area were in favor of Option #2. He reported that depending on the
flow of traffic, TxDOT would decide if the current light was still necessary, once the re-alignment was
completed based on traffic flow. Councilman Byboth commented that he liked option #3. City Engineer
Hoisted replied that the problem with options #3 and #4 was, if the city chooses one of those options,
there would be no unity between the cities affected by the alignment; thereby leaving that final choice to
TxDOT. Councilman Young ask if Option#1 and #2 were the most cost effective. Mr. Holsted replied that
Option #2 and #3 were about the same with Option #2 being the most cost effective. Mayor Mondy asked
Mr. Schattner to come forward and give his opinion regarding the realignment of 1378. Mr. Stephen
Schattner, President of lmperium Holdings, LP, 6350 LBJ Freeway, Dallas Texas and owner of the west
portion of property located near the proposed alignment, thanked Council for the opportunity to address
them. He explained that he was coming before Council tonight, not to propose one alignment over the
other but rather to give an unbiased opinion based on prospective businesses looking at the area for
future sites. He stated that the timing of the alignment of Parker Road and 1378 was the most important
issue. He explained that time kills all deals and commented that until this alignment is completed; new
business would not be willing to locate in the area. He explained that with regard to alignments#3 and #4,
you are taking off from the county alignment and creating a new alignment that will require approval by all
cities involved and adds the City of Parker to that list. The consequence of this decision and the eventual
sequence of events will add an additional 2 to 4 years to the project. The effect this will have on
businesses will be that businesses will move to the west, north or east. He also stated the importance of
the extension of F.M. 1378 as it extends to the north. He recommended that the best thing Wylie could do
at this point would be to extend F.M. 1378 north to include the 900 feet north of F.M. 2514. He
commented that the faster this could be completed the better chance Wylie had for business development

3. Consider, and act upon, the appointment of a Board of Directors member of the
North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD) to complete an unexpired term
beginning January 2007 and ending May 31,2007. (C. Ehrlich, City Secretary)
Staff Comments
City Secretary Ehrlich addressed Council stating that the Board of Directors of North Texas Municipal
Water District is a policy making body similar in nature to the City Council. The Board is responsible to
both the State of Texas and to the member cities for assuring that NTMWD operations occur in
accordance with state and federal law, in alignment with NTMWD policy, and in the best interests of the
cities receiving services. The City of Wylie has two board member positions on the NTMWD Board: Mr.
Marvin Fuller whose term expires May 31, 2008 and a position that is vacant due to the passing of long
time resident and NTMWD Board member Harry Tibbals, whose term would expire in May of 2007.
Council Discussion
Mayor Mondy stated that he had been in contact with North Texas Municipal Water District and it was
determined that there were twenty four members serving on the board; the immediate appointment of
another board member was not necessary to the function of the district. Mayor Mondy suggested that the
Council waive appointing someone at this time; in respect for the service Mr. Tibbals has provided to the
community over the years, and the memory of long time resident and board member Harry Tibbals.
Council Action
A motion was made by Councilman Hogue, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Porter to table Item
#3, the appointment of a Board of Directors member of the North Texas Municipal Water District
(NTMWD) to June of 2007 to coincide with the appointments of other Boards and Commissions,
in memory of long time Wylie resident and (NTMWD) board member Harry Tibbals. A vote was
taken and passed 7-0.

Election Calendar
For a City's General Election on May 12, 2007
This calendar indicates the dates for actions necessary in a general election of city officers
to be held on May 12, 2007. It includes all major actions for which the Election Code
prescribes a specific date or deadline for performance, but it does not include all actions (e.g.,
preparation of ballot boxes and other election equipment and of sets of precinct election
forms) for which the beginning date for performance can vary from one city to another
depending on local factors. Each city secretary should use the chart in M §9.02 of the Texas
Municipal Election Law Manual in conjunction with this calendar to fill in those dates on the
city secretary's personal election calendar created in accordance with local conditions [see M
§9.03]. The city secretary's personal calendar should also reflect dates that the city secretary
prefers in place of the discretionary dates recommended in this calendar.
Column 5 indicates the time interval between the date of the action and election day. For
example, the notation "53`d" in the entry for March 20 means that the last day for a candidate
to withdraw is the 53`d day before election day; the notation "+5" in the entry for May 17
means that the last day for receiving a ballot from outside the United States is the 5th day
after election day.
When there is a statutory provision prescribing the last day for the performance of an act,
the number in Column 5 reflects that day. If the statutory day must be moved because of a
Saturday, Sunday, or state or national holiday, the resulting date is designated in Columns 1
and 2 and Column 5 indicates, in parentheses and italics, the actual number of days measured
from election day.
In preparing a personal calendar,the city secretary should remember the rule in EC §1.006
that if the last day for performance of an action falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or a state or
national holiday, the deadline date is usually extended to the next regular business day
whether the day is a city holiday or not [see M §2.16(a)]. When a deadline is extended for this
reason, the extended date is used for determining other dates that are calculated in relation
to the event of the extended date. Exceptions are noted in this calendar.
Maior steps are in ALL CAPS. Steps for early voting are in ITALICS.

conduct such transactions and secured our agreement to accept them and(ii)have reasonable procedures in place to ensure that each Card sale is made
to a purchaser who actually is the Cardholder or the authorized user of the Card. Notwithstanding the foregoing,you acknowledge that under the

2.2 Lack of Authorization. We reserve the right to refuse to process any Sales Data presented by you(i)if you do not record a proper

resulting from delays in receipt of funds or errors in Settlement Account entries caused by third parties,including,without limitation,delays or errors by
either the Associations or your bank.
4.3 Travel and Entertainment Cards. You cannot submit any T&E Card transaction for processing by Paymentech unless you have a valid agreement
in effect with the respective T&E Card company. For the T&E Card transactions designated on Schedule A,upon transmission of such Sales Data by you,
we will forward the Sales Data to the appropriate T&E Card company. Except to the extent that we may provide funds settlement services for JCB
transactions,payment of the proceeds due you will be governed by whatever agreement you have with that T&E Card company,and we do not bear any
responsibility for their performance. If your agreement with a T&E Card company requires the T&E Card company's consent for us to perform the services
contemplated by our Agreement,you are responsible for obtaining that consent.

fees,charges,fines,assessments,penalties,and all other liabilities are due and payable by you when we receive notice thereof from the Associations or

by a Cardholder with respect to any Sales Data submitted by you,(ii)caused by your noncompliance with this Agreement,the Operating Guide,or the
Association Rules,including any breach of a representation or warranty made by you,or(iii)resulting from any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or
insolvency proceeding by or against you. The obligation provided for in this Section does not apply to any claim or complaint to the extent it is caused by
Paymentech's own negligence or willful misconduct.
4.5 Negative Amounts.To the extent Sales Data does not represent sufficient credits or the Settlement Account does not have a sufficient balance to
pay amounts due or reasonably anticipated to become due under this Agreement,we may pursue one or more of the following options: (i)demand and
receive immediate payment for such amounts; (ii)debit your Settlement Account for the amount of the negative balance;(iii)withhold your settlement
payments until all amounts are paid; (iv)delay presentation of your refunds until you make a payment to us of a sufficient amount to cover the negative
balance; (v)collect any amount due or which may become due to us from any of your bank accounts without notice to you;and(vi)pursue any remedies
we may have at law or in equity. Furthermore,if the amount represented by your Sales Data in any day is negative due to refunds/customer credits being
submitted by you in excess of your sales,you are required to provide us with sufficient funds prior to the submission of the Sales Data so as to prevent the
occurrence of a negative balance.
4.6 Delinquency/Merchant Fraud.At any time and from time to time we may temporarily suspend or delay payments to you and/or designate an
amount of funds that we must maintain in order to protect us against the risk of,among other things,existing,potential,or anticipated Chargebacks and
to satisfy your other obligations under this Agreement(such funds being hereinafter referred to as the"Reserve Account"),which may be funded in the
same manner as provided for negative balances in sub-section 4.5. The Reserve Account will contain sufficient funds to cover any unbilled processing
costs plus our estimated exposure based on reasonable criteria for Chargebacks,returns,unshipped merchandise,and/or unfulfilled services and all
additional liabilities anticipated under this Agreement. We may(but are not required to)apply funds in the Reserve Account toward,and may set off any
funds that would otherwise be payable to the Merchant against,the satisfaction of any amounts which are or become due from Merchant pursuant to this
Agreement.The Reserve Account will not bear interest,and you will have no right or interest in the funds in the Reserve Account. Any funds in the
Reserve Account may be commingled with other funds,and need not be maintained in a separate account. Effective upon our establishment of a Reserve
Account,you irrevocably grant to us a security interest in any and all funds,together with the proceeds thereof,that may at any time be in our possession
and would otherwise be payable to you pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.You agree to execute and deliver to us such instruments and documents
(including,without limitation,security agreements and releases)that we may reasonably request(i)to perfect and confirm the security interest and right
of setoff set forth in this Agreement;and(ii)in connection with any return of Reserve Account funds.
5. Accounting.We will supply a detailed statement reflecting the activity for your Merchant account(s)by on-line access(or otherwise if we agree).
We will not be responsible for any error that you do not bring to our attention within 45 days from date of such statement.
6. Retrieval Requests.
6.1 Records. You are required by the Associations to store original documentation of each Card transaction for at least 6 months from the date of the
respective Card transaction,and to retain copies of all such Sales data for at least 18 months from the date of the respective Card transaction. You are
not allowed to charge a fee for the creation or storage of such copies. We may,at our discretion,require you to deliver copies of Sales Data to us rather
than storing it.
6.2 Response to Retrieval Requests.We will send you any Retrieval Request that we cannot satisfy with the information we have on file concerning
any Card transaction. In response,you must provide us in writing by certified or overnight mail or by confirmed fax(or by other means as agreed to by
Paymentech)the resolution of your investigation of such Retrieval Request and include legible copies of any documentation required by the Retrieval
Request within 7 business days after we send it to you(or such shorter time as the Association Rules may require and of which we notify you). You
acknowledge that your failure to fulfill a Retrieval Request in accordance with Association Rules may result in an irreversible Chargeback.
7. Chargebacks.
Doc 11820 Rev12/06
7.1 Chargeback Reasons.You may receive a Chargeback from a Cardholder or Card issuer for a number of reasons under the Association Rules. The
following are some of the most common reasons for Chargebacks:
(1)Your failure to issue a refund to a Cardholder upon the return or non-delivery of goods or services.
(2)An authorization/approval code was required and not obtained.
(3)The Sales Data is prepared incorrectly or fraudulently.
(4)We did not receive your response to a Retrieval Request within 7 business days or any shorter time period required by the Association Rules.
(5)The Cardholder disputes the Card sale or the signature on the sale documentation,or claims that the sale is subject to a set-off,defense,or
counterclaim.
(6)The Cardholder refuses to make payment for a Card sale because in the Cardholder's good faith opinion,a claim or complaint has not been
resolved,or has been resolved by you in an unsatisfactory manner.
(7)The Card was not actually presented at the time of the sale or you failed to obtain an electronic record or physical imprint of the Card,and the
Cardholder denies making the purchase. The Merchant acknowledges that,under these circumstances,the fact that an authorization/approval code was
obtained does not mean that a particular Card transaction is a valid or undisputed transaction entered into by the actual Cardholder or an authorized user
of the Card.
7.2 Excessive Chargebacks.If we determine that you are receiving an excessive amount of Chargebacks,in addition to our other remedies under this
Agreement we may take the following actions: (i)review your internal procedures relating to acceptance of Cards and notify you of new procedures you
should adopt in order to avoid future Chargebacks; (ii)notify you of a new rate we will charge you to process your Chargebacks;(iii)collect from you
(pursuant to sub-section 4.6)an amount reasonably determined by us to be sufficient to cover anticipated Chargebacks and all related fees,expenses,and
fines;or(iv)terminate the Agreement with written notice of termination. You also agree to pay any and all Association fees and fines assessed against
you or against Paymentech or Member relating to your violation of the Agreement,the Operating Guide,or the Association Rules with respect to your
transactions or with respect to excessive Chargebacks under this Section.
7.3 Claims of Cardholder Customers.You have full liability if any Sales Data for which we have given the Settlement Account provisional credit is the
subject of a Chargeback. Subsequently,you are allowed to resubmit applicable Sales Data for a second presentation,but only in accordance with
Association Rules.To the extent that we have paid or may be called upon to pay a Chargeback or refund or adjustment for or on the account of a
Cardholder and you do not reimburse us as provided in this Agreement,then for the purpose of our obtaining reimbursement of such sums paid or
anticipated to be paid,we have all of the rights and remedies of such Cardholder under applicable federal,state,or local laws and you authorize us to
assert any and all such claims in our own name for and on behalf of any such Cardholder customer individually or all such Cardholder customers as a class.
8. Advertising.Wherever you accept Cards,you will inform the public of the Cards that you honor. However,you may not indicate that any
Association endorses your goods or services.
9. Fees.
9.1 Schedule A.You agree to pay us for our services as set forth in Schedule A in accordance with this Agreement.Unless otherwise expressly stated in
Schedule A,such pricing is based on all transactions qualifying under the Association Rules for the lowest Association interchange rates. For Sales Data
that does not qualify for the best rate,Association interchange fees provide for a"down-grade,"and we will apply a higher rate than the qualifying rate
shown on Schedule A. Fees payable under this Agreement that contain a fraction of a cent will be rounded up to the next full cent.
9.2 Price Changes.We may modify the pricing on Schedule A with 30 days'prior written notice. In addition,by giving written notice to you we may
change our fees,charges,and discounts resulting from (i)changes in Association fees (such as interchange,assessments,and other charges);(ii)
changes in pricing by any third party provider of a product or service used by you;or(iii)fees which are added by an Association or card issuer. Such new
prices will be applicable to you as of the effective date established by the Association or third party provider.
10. Termination.
10.1 Term. The initial term of this Agreement shall commence on the earlier of(i)our acceptance hereof(as evidenced by the execution of the
Agreement by us)or(ii)5 days after the Agreement is executed by the Merchant and submitted to Paymentech,and shall continue until either(i)
terminated by you by giving at least 30 days'prior written notice to us or(ii)terminated by us by giving notice to you(such termination by us to be
effective as of a date set forth in such notice or,if no such date is set forth,to be effective as of the date such notice is received by you).
10.2 Termination for Cause. If our services provided under this Agreement fail to conform to generally accepted standards for such services in the
Card processing industry then your sole remedy for such failure shall be that upon notice from you specifying the failure of performance,we will rectify
such failure of performance. If we do not rectify our failure of performance within 30 days after receipt of written notification from you,then you may
terminate this Agreement upon 30 days'written notice to us. If you terminate the Agreement within the first 3 years following the date of your execution
of this Agreement,you agree to pay de-conversion fees of two hundred fifty dollars($250.00)for each Merchant location that has submitted Sales Data
pursuant to this Agreement. Such amount will be funded,to the extent possible,according to the same methods for collecting amounts due under this
Agreement. We may terminate this Agreement at any time for any reason upon written notice to you.
10.3 Account Activity After Termination. Termination does not affect either party's respective rights and obligations under this Agreement as to
Sales Data submitted before termination. If you submit Sales Data to us after the date of termination,we may,at our discretion,process such Sales Data
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon notice of any termination of this Agreement,we may estimate the aggregate dollar amount of
Chargebacks and other obligations,liabilities,and expenses that we reasonably anticipate subsequent to termination,and you agree to immediately
deposit such amount,or we may withhold such amounts from your credits,in order to establish a Reserve Account pursuant to and governed by the terms
and conditions of this Agreement.
11. Intentionally Reserved.
12. No Disclosure of Cardholder Information. We will exercise reasonable care to prevent disclosure or use of Card information,other than as
permitted under the Association Rules. You will exercise reasonable care to prevent disclosure or use of Card information,other than(i)to your agents
and contractors for the purpose of assisting you in completing a Card transaction,(ii)to the applicable Association,or(iii)as specifically required by law.
You are prohibited from storing CVV2 or CVC2,magnetic stripe track data,and AVS and PIN data. Each party will store all media containing Card numbers
in an area limited to selected personnel on a"need to know"basis only and prior to either party discarding any material containing Cardholder information,
the party will destroy it in a manner rendering the Card account numbers unreadable. If at any time either party determines that Card account number
information has been compromised,such party will notify the other party immediately and assist in providing notification to the proper parties,as we deem
necessary. Merchant information may be shared by us with our affiliates subject to the provisions of this Agreement and Association Rules. You agree to
comply with all security standards and guidelines that may be published from time to time by Visa, MasterCard,or any other Association,including,without
Doc 11820 Rev12/06
limitation,the Visa U.S.A.Cardholder Information Security Program("CISP'),the MasterCard Site Data Protection("SDP'),and(where applicable)the
VISA Payment Application Best Practices("PABP")(described in more detail in the Operating Guide)(collectively,the"Security Guidelines"). All Service
Providers you use must be recognized by Visa as LISP compliant service providers and payment applications you use must be recognized by VISA as
compliant with PABP. You understand that failure to comply with the LISP,SDP or(where applicable)PABP requirements,or other Security Guidelines,or
the compromise of any Card account information,may result in assessments,fines,and/or penalties by the Associations,and you agree to reimburse us
immediately for any assessment,fine,or penalty imposed on us or the Member due to any such event or your breach of this Section and any related loss,
cost or expense incurred by us. You further agree to(i)exercise reasonable due diligence to ensure that all of your Service Providers,agents,business
partners,contractors,and subcontractors maintain compliance with the Security Guidelines established by CISP,SDP,and(where applicable)PABP and(ii)
provide us upon our request with evaluation of your compliance with Security Guidelines as required by the Assodations. If any Association requires an
audit of you or any of your Service Providers,agents,business partners,contractors,or subcontractors due to a data security compromise event or
suspected event,you agree to cooperate with such audit and agree to pay for all costs and expenses related to such audit,including all of our costs
relating to such audit,including attorney's fees.

Merchant as we may request.

written notice of your intent to change your product line or services,or your trade name,or the manner in which you accept Cards. If we determine such
a change is material to our relationship with you,we may refuse to process Sales Data made subsequent to the change. You agree to provide us with

fines)for the 6 months prior to the time the liability arose. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR IN THIS AGREEMENT,IN NO EVENT WILL ANY

Jerry,
A tentative date for the work-session is set for Tuesday, January 16,2007 following the 7:00 PM
P&Z meeting. We expect the regular meeting to be short that night. Mr. Kreymer has verbally
agreed to attend. Jerry, my take on last night's meeting, is that members of the Commission will
be open to some of those ideas and points you made at last night's meeting. I can understand
you being hesitant to marry your request to a general site plan and/or adjacent property. Due to
property constraints and substantial concerns from adjacent property owners; please reconsider
attending the session and provide a preliminary-alternative layout and uses that may be
acceptable to the Commission. I'm open to input you may have and I'm willing to discuss if you
plan to attend or not.

Charles.
I have informed m} client of the results of last night's meeting. I have also suggested we withdraw our
rezoning request. He concurs and I will be getting you a letter in the next day or so to that ends.
At this point.we will not be asking to meet with the Commission to discuss uses. My read from last night
is that the Commission did not see any compelling reason to be proactive with respect to zoning. As such.
if we move forward with eliminating uses.they will be reactive and the list of allowable uses will be so
small.it will be tough to market the property. I think if someone comes in with a plan and with a specific
use in mind.the Commission will be more comfortable reacting to it versus taking the lead.

Jerry, excellent points were made during your presentation last night. Nevertheless,the
Commission denied your client's request to rezone the property from Ag to NS. However,the
Commission did accept Mr. Kreymer's request to withdraw his case(request) pending a P&Z
work-session for the purpose of further discussion on these items. Staff will schedule a work-
session soon. As early as possible, and at your convenience, can you let the staff know what
your client's intentions are with respect to City Council review of your case. Note, because P&Z
denied Zoning Case 2006-16, a 3/4 affirmative majority vote from Council is required to approve
the request. Your input in an upcoming work-session would be helpful in the disposition of this
case.

Subject
Consider, and act upon, Resolution No. 2007-06(R) endorsing the "Joint Recommendation for Regional Rail in
North Central Texas" as approved by the Boards of Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART), Denton County
Transportation Authority (DCTA) and the Fort Worth Transportation Authority (THE T) that supports the
concept of local option funding of public transit in the region.
Recommendation
Discussion
The Chair of the Regional Transportation Council (RTC) contacted Mayor Mondy requesting that the City of
Wylie consider the attached Resolution supporting the "Joint Recommendation for Regional Rail in North
Central Texas". The recommendation was approved by the governing Boards of DART, DCTA, and The T (see
attached) in order to support a regional rail effort and to encourage the State Legislature to pass legislation
which would allow the local option of funding public transit by exempting an amount equal to the locally
authorized transit sales tax from the 2% cap in the 9 county area covered by the North Central Texas Council of
Governments (NCTCOG).
A list of the agencies that have approved the Resolution is attached, along with the results of a public opinion
survey conducted by the Survey Research Center at the University of North Texas.

RESOLUTION NO. 2007-06(R)
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF WYLIE, TEXAS
ENDORSING THE "JOINT RECOMMENDATION FOR REGIONAL
RAIL IN NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS" AS APPROVED BY THE
BOARDS OF DALLAS AREA RAPID TRANSIT (DART), DENTON
COUNTY TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY (DCTA) AND THE FORT
WORTH TRANSPOTATION AUTHORITY (THE T) THAT SUPPORTS
THE CONCEPT OF LOCAL OPTION FUNDING OF PUBLIC TRANSIT
IN THE REGION BY EXEMPTING AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE
LOCALLY AUTHORIZED TRANSIT SALES TAX FROM THE 2%
LOCAL SALES TAX CAP.
WHEREAS, the City of Wylie is firmly committed to supporting regional efforts toward
addressing the mobility and air quality needs of its citizens and for future generations; and
WHEREAS, the City of Wylie believes that the best approach to achieving the goal of
providing additional funding capacity to expand rapid transit in the region is by exempting an amount
equal to the locally authorized metropolitan sales tax from the 2% sales tax cap in cities like the City of
Wylie that do not currently have room under the local sales tax cap because of 4A/4B obligations; and
WHEREAS, among the existing transit authorities in the region—DART, DCTA, and The T—
there exists expertise and evidence of cooperation on current and future rail projects that demonstrates
their ability to successfully expand rail transit in the region; and,
WHEREAS, the citizens of the City of Wylie want to ensure that the quality of life remains
high in the region and our economy strong and competitive, and transit has an important role in
achieving this goal as the population continues to grow toward eight million in the very near future;
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
WYLIE, TEXAS,THAT:
Section 1. The City of Wylie hereby agrees and supports the "Joint Recommendation for
Regional Rail in North Central Texas" as put forth by DART, DCTA and The T on the regional transit
issue in Exhibit 1 and strongly urges the 80`h Texas Legislation to pass legislation exempting an
amount equal to the locally authorized transit sales tax from the 2% local sales tax cap in the 9 counties
of North Texas that are designated by the Environmental Protection Agency as "non-attainment" for
federal air quality standards.
DULY PASS AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Wylie, Texas on the 23rd
day of January, 2007.

Commissioner, Denton County
SUBJECT: Regional Transit Initiative
As you are aware, local elected officials and State legislators from North Texas are working
together in order to bring more regional rail to Dallas-Fort Worth. This process has been ongoing
for well over three years with local elected officials recommending an exemption for transit sales
tax in order to fund the rail system. A recent survey shows over 70 percent of registered voters
would support an additional sales tax for transit.
The timing has become critical to reach consensus on a funding mechanism. The region's
Metropolitan Transportation Plan must be approved on January 11, 2007, and unless there is
positive momentum for a piece of legislation, 239 miles of regional rail will have to be pulled from
the long-range plan in order to attain fiscal constraint. Removing these rail lines will negatively
impact future congestion, air quality, and mobility options.
If your city or county has not passed a resolution supporting the Tri-Party Agreement between
Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART), the Denton County Transportation Authority, and the Fort
Worth Transportation Authority, the RTC strongly recommends you do so. Staff at DART is
collecting all resolutions of support. Enclosed with this letter is the Tri-Party Agreement, a list of
organizations that have passed support resolutions to date, and a sample support resolution for
your reference.
In addition, please express your support to your State Representative and State Senator to
advance regional rail. We are asking for the authority to exempt transit sales tax and take the
issue to voters for approval.
On behalf of the RTC, I would like to thank you for being involved with this important
transportation issue. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call Michael
Morris, Director of Transportation for the North Central Texas Council of Governments, at
(817) 695-9241.

JOINT RECOMMENDATION FOR REGIONAL RAIL IN NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS
The three existing transit authorities support expanding meaningful public transit in North Texas through
our existing organizations.Such transit authorities support the Statement of Principles for the
Implementation of a Regional Rail System in North Central Texas agreed to in August 2004 by regional
leadership under the following conditions:
• New regional rail projects will require new sources of funding. The State authorized Sales and
Use Tax has been the primary means of funding public transit service within the region,and the
magnitude of the required funding will most likely dictate that sales tax should be the source of
funds for new regional rail projects. However,most cities in the region do not have the ability to
fund public transit services because sales and use tax capacity has been committed to other uses.
• The three existing transit authorities support local option funding of public transit in the region by
exempting an amount equal to the locally authorized transit sales tax from the 2%cap in the
following counties:
o Tarrant
o Parker
o Johnson
o Denton
o Wise
o Dallas
o Collin
o Rockwall
o Ellis
• This action would provide an equitable means of allowing"non-transit"jurisdictions to determine
as a local option whether or not they would choose to fund public transit,while allowing
jurisdictions that currently support public transit to determine whether they would choose to
allocate sales tax capacity for non-transit uses(up to the existing cap).
• We support a determination of citizens' support of a regional rail system outside the existing
transit authorities'territory or service area,and inside The T's service area.
• Formation of a 4th transit entity is not recommended.

Introduction
Researchers at The University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) contracted with The North Texas
Commission(NTC)and the three regional transit authorities to conduct a public opinion study on
support for regional rail expansion and financing options for that expansion. We completed the
qualitative phase of the research—a series of four focus group sessions—last spring.
The quantitative phase of the research began with the drafting of the survey instrument,putting into
survey form many of the things we had heard from focus group participants from Dallas,Denton, and
Tarrant Counties.We produced a 39-item questionnaire,done with input from representatives of the
NTC, the Denton County Transit Authority,the Fort Worth Transportation Authority, and DART. The
questionnaire averaged 12 minutes in length per completed interview.
Telephone interviewing began August 10 and continued through September 18,2006. We
subcontracted the interviewing to the Survey Research Center at the University of North Texas. SRC
completed 4,077 interviews with registered voters in the non-transit-member areas of Collin and
Dallas Counties,in Tarrant County,and in parts of Ellis,Johnson,Kaufman,Parker,and Rockwall
Counties.Denton County was not surveyed,as an election was recently held there to form the DCTA.
Fort Worth Transit Authority member cities were surveyed to determine their interest in increasing
their transit sales tax from a half cent to a full cent. DART member cities in Dallas and Collin
Counties already are paying the full-cent sales tax for rail service.
The unusually high number of interviews produces a statistical margin for error of plus or minus 1.5
percentage points at the 95 percent confidence interval.In other words,if the survey were conducted
100 times,the results would vary by no more that 1.5 percentage point in either direction 95 of those
times.And in a sample this large,the results are accurate to within plus or minus 2 percentage points
at the 99 percent confidence interval. To give some perspective,the typical nationwide presidential
preference poll conducted by major news organizations uses a sample of about 1,000 interviews to get
to within plus or minus three percentage points at the 95 percent confidence interval.
More importantly,though,this large number of interviews gives us error margins around plus or
minus 5 percentage points(at the 95 percent confidence interval)in all eight counties and most of the
nine state Senate districts within the survey area.
Results
Support for the Half-Cent Sales Tax Increase:Initial support in the region appears quite strong for the
half-cent sales tax. Support on first consideration was 62.9%,with one respondent in five(19.4%)
saying they strongly favor the sales tax increase"to fund an expansion of the rail transit system in the
Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex,to include multiple lines in Dallas,Tarrant, and Denton Counties and
into outlying areas."
This response is quite robust,not least because the large number of interviews reduces the statistical
margin for error to plus or minus 1.5%.Another factor assuring us of its validity is that this was only
the fourth or fifth question asked in the survey(some questions were randomly rotated),and the first
that had anything to do with either transit or taxation. It was"masked"by a companion item described
as something"that could be on the ballot in the next year or so,"a proposal"to raise the minimum
wage in Texas by$1 per hour, from$5.15 to $6.15 per hour. The law would take effect one year from
the election date."(Incidentally, 82.2%of respondents would favor the one-dollar minimum wage
increase.)
Near the end of the survey,respondents were asked again for their position on the sales tax increase
for rail system expansion,"taking into account everything we've talked about,"and support rose from
University of Texas at Dallas •Regional Rail Research •Quantitative Phase Results•9/27/06 2
62.9%on first consideration to 74.7%on reconsideration. More on this in the"Reconsideration of
Half-Cent Sales Tax Increase"section following.
Interviewers then told respondents that a better system,running more trains to more stops more
frequently,could be built even sooner if a full-cent sales tax increase were levied rather than the half-
•cent.Respondents were told that benefits of the one-cent version of the proposal would have more
opportunities for economic development,and would include a bus feeder system. This led 44.5%of
respondents to say they would be more likely to support the proposal if it were for one cent,and
55.5%to say they would be less likely to support such a proposal.
Public Policy Problems: In the focus group phase of the study, support for rail expansion appeared to
be tied to frustration over traffic congestion and high gasoline prices,and, to a lesser extent,concern
over air pollution. The phone survey provides ample support for this hypothesis.We asked
respondents to rate several "public policy problems"on a five-point scale,on which"5"was most
serious and"1"was least serious.
• Six in ten(60.5%)respondents ranked gasoline prices a 5, and three-fourths rated it a 4 or 5.
Fewer than one in ten(9.6%)rated gas prices a 1 or 2.
• Traffic congestion was rated a 5 by four in ten respondents(40.4%), and a 4 or 5 by nearly two-
thirds(64.9%). Only 15%rated congestion a 1 or 2.
• Air pollution was seen as less of a problem in our focus groups as well as in our phone survey.
Still, more than half(52.6%)of survey respondents said pollution rated a 4 or 5 on the five-point
scale.
• Somewhat fewer(49.6%)respondents said population growth was a serious enough problem to
rank a 4 or 5 on the scale.
Certainly the seriousness of pollution,gas price,and congestion problems combine in favor of support
for a measure that respondents think would ease them: a linked rail transit system in the region.
Use of Sales Tax Revenue:
There had been concerns in our group client meetings over citizens' preferences for the use of sales
tax money: Would they prefer locally levied sales taxes to be used in the community,or to be used for
infrastructure needs areawide?The clear result is areawide infrastructure,with 61.3%favoring that
option over the 38.7%who favored"economic development in individual cities."
Statements About Rail Transit:
We asked respondents to agree or disagree with a series of statements about"public policy for rail
transit,"to see the extent to which opinions we heard in focus groups were held in the general public.
Not surprisingly, given the high initial support we saw for transit expansion, respondents agreed with
favorable characterizations of rail transit. However, they also overwhelmingly agreed with the less-
favorable assessment that the DFW Metroplex is behind other large metro areas when it comes to
mass transit.Respondents seemed to think the spread-out nature of the area called for rail to link the
areas,rather than it being a hindrance to the effectiveness of a rail system.
• Eight in ten(80.9%)agreed that they would ride a rail system that"went where I wanted to go,
when I wanted to go there."More than a third of the sample(35.3%)strongly agreed.
•
University of Texas at Dallas•Regional Rail Research•Quantitative Phase Results•9/27/06 3
• More than eight in ten(82.3%)agreed that"The Dallas-Fort Worth area is way behind other large
metropolitan areas when it comes to efficient,modern mass transit systems."Only 17.8%
disagreed.
• Almost 85%agreed that rail would help them—even if they didn't use it—"by getting more cars
• off the road and making it easier to drive around the area."
• We heard in focus groups that the Dallas-Fort Worth area is"too spread-out to benefit from a
coordinated rail transit system."Only about three in ten(29.0%)survey respondents agreed.
• Quite the contrary,respondents overwhelmingly(81.7%)agreed that in such a spread-out area,"A
rail system that could do a better job of linking the communities in our area would do a lot to help
our economy grow."
Alternatives for Reducing Congestion and Pollution:
We asked respondents to rate rail systems and bus systems against carpooling,better traffic
engineering,and alternative fuels as the best ways to effectively reduce traffic congestion,pollution,
and gas prices.In each of the three"contests,"respondents rated bus systems least effective.The rail
system was seen as the preferred alternative over bus and carpooling and over the bus and traffic
engineering.In the third grouping,alternative fuels beat a rail system by nine-tenths of a point.
Statements About a Gasoline Tax Increase:In the phone survey,as in the focus groups,respondents
appeared concerned about high fuel prices and more or less hostile to the notion of funding rail
expansion with a gasoline tax.In order to understand public policy preferences on the issue,we read a
number of statements based on what we'd heard in the focus groups and asked respondents whether
they found the arguments persuasive,whether in favor of or opposition to a 13-cent-per-gallon
increase in the fuel tax.
Respondents tended to disagree with arguments favorable to the proposal and to agree with statements
that opposed the gasoline tax increase.
• Only 38%found very or somewhat persuasive the argument that the proposal"would encourage
people to drive less,to conserve fuel,and would help reduce the dangerous pollution levels we
see in our area."
• Similarly,fewer than half(46.5%)found very or somewhat persuasive the argument that the gas
tax would pay to build and maintain a rail system,while the higher fuel prices would encourage
the use of transit and save on gasoline,saying further that"It is a good solution to the serious and
complex problems caused by traffic congestion."
• More than two-thirds(69.9%)found persuasive the argument that the gas tax is unfair,burdening
people who would not be able to take advantage of a rail system.
• Most persuasive of the four arguments tested(84.5%very/somewhat persuasive)was that
gasoline prices are already too high, and that even higher prices"would hurt both individuals and
businesses in our area."
Support for Gasoline Tax Increase:We asked respondents to tell us,"if the election were held today,
taking everything we've talked about into account,"whether they would favor or oppose the 13-cent-
per-gallon gas tax increase to fund rail expansion. We also expanded our description of the rail line,
saying"the system would include existing rail lines in Denton,Tarrant, and Dallas Counties,and
would extend into cities north, south, east,and west of Dallas and Tarrant Counties."We also added
University of Texas at Dallas•Regional Rail Research •Quantitative Phase Results•9/27/06 4
area-specific cities into the description, for example telling residents of northern Dallas and Collin
Counties that the system would serve Allen,McKinney,Frisco and Rockwall,and telling residents of
Parker County that it would serve Weatherford and Granbury.
• Even with that more comprehensive description of proposed lines,nearly six in ten(58.1%)
opposed the gas tax solution,with half of those(31.5%)strongly opposed.
• We then informed respondents that an even better rail system could be built sooner with a 26-cent
increase in the fuel tax and asked them how that information would impact their support at the
polls for a gasoline tax. Only one in eight(12.0%)said that would make them much or somewhat
more inclined to support a gas tax as a way to fund rail expansion.
Statements About Half-Cent Sales Tax:
We read a number of statements, some favorable and some unfavorable, about the proposed half-cent
sales tax increase to fund rail expansion and asked respondents whether they found the arguments
persuasive.As before,we want to know the extent to which arguments we heard during the qualitative
phase of the research were held in the larger Metroplex population.
• Most persuasive of the arguments in favor of the proposal(77.7%very/somewhat)was that it was
"a small price to pay for a modern,coordinated rail system that will reduce traffic congestion,air
pollution,time wasted in commuting,and personal energy costs."
• A little over a third(35.0%)found persuasive the argument that the"sales tax increase will hurt
the local governments that impose it,because people will shop elsewhere in order to avoid paying
the tax."
• Almost seven in ten(69.8%)found very or somewhat persuasive that the sales tax is a good way
to finance the rail expansion"because tourists and out-of-towners will help pay for those
improvements when they shop here."
• It was somewhat surprising that, in a tax-averse state and metro area,no more than four in ten
(41.4%)found persuasive the statement that, with the level of taxation already high,"I won't
support an increase in taxes, no matter how good the cause."
• Nearly seven in ten(69.8%)found persuasive that the benefit to our economy of recouping
millions of productive hours otherwise wasted in traffic"will far outweigh the small cost of a
sales tax."
• Similarly, 69.2%found very or somewhat persuasive the argument that economic development
around rail stops would be a benefit to communities served by expansion of the rail transit system.
Reconsideration of Half-Cent Sales Tax Increase: We asked respondents their opinion on the half-cent
sales tax again, "taking into account everything we've talked about."And, as with the question asked
on the gasoline tax increase, we described the proposed route in greater detail and added area-specific
cities that would be served.
Favorable responses went up by almost 12 percentage points, from 62.9%to 74.7%.
• As with the gas-tax question, we told respondents that a better system, with more trains running
more frequently to more stations, could be built more quickly if we doubled the tax increase to a
full cent. We asked them what effect this would have for their support for the measure;44.5%
University of Texas at Dallas•Regional Rail Research •Quantitative Phase Results•9/27/06 5
said this would make them more likely to support the proposal, and 55.5%said they would be less
likely to support the full-cent increase.
Given the strong initial support for the proposal in this survey,we were not surprised to see the jump
in support at the end. Respondents,particularly in outlying areas,would be more likely to support the
rail expansion and sales tax once they were informed that it would serve areas near them. Thinking
harder about the serious problems of pollution,congestion,high gas prices, and population growth
probably made them more favorable toward rail expansion.
Nor is it surprising that,even with broad support for a rail system,respondents did not want to use gas
taxes to pay for it-high gas prices were one of the problems that led them to favor rail,and raising
gasoline prices is not an intuitively appealing solution.
In short,the survey results indicate that there is strong baseline support across the region for an
integrated rail system,and that registered voters appear willing to tax themselves to get it. The jump in
support from first consideration to reconsideration indicates that when voters think about the
seriousness of the problems and solutions to those problems,they are even more willing as a group to
support a half-cent sales tax-even when presented with some strong arguments to the contrary.

11. There has been a debate among some policy makers about how sales taxes should be used in the
Dallas-Fort Worth area.Some think that sales tax would be better used to promote local economic
development,with spending decisions made by mayors and councils of individual cities in the
Metroplex.Others think that sales tax would be better spent on area-wide infrastructure,such as
rail lines or new highways,benefiting the area as a whole.Which is closer to the way you think?
That. . .
Sales taxes would be better used for economic development in individual cities 38.7%
or that. . .
Sales taxes would be better used for infrastructure improvements all over the area 61.3%
Some have suggested that an expanded rail transit system,coordinated throughout the Metroplex,would
help solve pollution problems,congested roadways,and higher personal energy costs.Other people are not
so sure. I'm going to read some things people are saying about public policy for rail transit.For each
statement that I read, I'd like you to tell me whether you strongly agree,somewhat agree, somewhat
disagree,or strongly disagree.First is. ..

A rail system that could do a better job of linking the

Next we are going to talk about some ways people have proposed to pay the costs of expanding a rail
transit system for the Dallas-Fort Worth area.The first is a 13 cent-per-gallon tax on gasoline and diesel
fuel.I'm going to read some statements people have made both for and against the gasoline tax to fund rail
expansion.For each statement that I read,please tell me whether you find that statement very persuasive,

of the rail system and encourage people to use mass
transit to save on gas. It is a good solution to the serious
and complex problems caused by traffic congestion. 12.5% 46.5% 25.0% 53.5%
21. A gasoline tax to fund rail expansion is unfair.It would
tax many people who would not be able to take advantage
of a new rail system,as well as those who would be
able to use it. 37.2% 69.9% 11.9% 31.1%

22.Now,please tell me how likely you would be to support a 13-cent-per-gallon gasoline tax to fund a rail
system expansion.The system would include existing rail lines in Denton,Tarrant,and Dallas counties,and
would extend into cities north,south,east and west of Dallas and Tarrant Counties.These would include:

2.2 Relocation. When Atmos Energy is required by City to remove or relocate its mains,
laterals, and other facilities to accommodate construction of streets, drainage facilities,
alleys and other improvements by City, and Atmos Energy is eligible under federal, state,
county, local or other programs for reimbursement of costs and expenses incurred by
Atmos Energy as a result of such removal or relocation, and such reimbursement is
required to be handled through City, Atmos Energy costs and expenses shall be included
in any application by City for reimbursement, if Atmos Energy submits its cost and
expense documentation to City prior to the filing of the application. City shall provide
reasonable notice to Atmos Energy of the deadline for Atmos Energy to submit
documentation of the costs and expenses of such relocation to City. If Atmos Energy is
required by City to remove or relocate its mains, laterals, or other facilities for any reason
other than the construction of streets, alleys, drainage systems or other improvements to
the Public Rights-of-Way by City that are not primarily for beautification or the benefit
of a third party, Atmos Energy shall be entitled to reimbursement from City or others of
the cost and expense of such removal or relocation. When Atmos Energy is required to
remove or relocate its mains, laterals or other facilities to accommodate construction by
City without reimbursement from City, Atmos Energy shall have the right to seek
recovery of relocation costs as provided for in applicable state and/or federal law.
2.3 Abandonment. If City abandons any Right-of-Way in which Atmos Energy has facilities,
such abandonment shall be conditioned on Atmos Energy's right to maintain its use of
the former Right-of-Way and on the obligation of the party to whom the Right-of-Way is
abandoned to reimburse Atmos Energy for all removal or relocation expenses if Atmos
Energy agrees to the removal or relocation of its facilities following abandonment of the
Right-of-Way. If the party to whom the Right-of-Way is abandoned requests Atmos
Energy to remove or relocate its facilities and Atmos Energy agrees to such removal or
relocation, such removal or relocation shall be done within a reasonable time at the
expense of the party requesting the removal or relocation. If relocation cannot practically
be made to another Right-of-Way, the expense of any right-of-way acquisition shall be
considered a relocation expense to be reimbursed by the third party requesting the
relocation. The reservation of a utility easement of sufficient width to enable Atmos
Energy's continued safe and efficient service in an abandonment of ROW by the City
shall fulfill the City's obligation to condition the abandonment on Atmos Energy's right
to continued use. The City's obligations in this paragraph shall not apply if the third
party is a party with the right to condemn the City's Right-of-Way.
2.4 Easements. Any easements over or under property owned by City other than the Right—
of-Way shall be separately negotiated with City, except that Atmos Energy may use
general utility easements that are dedicated for compatible uses on property owned by
City.
2.5 Right of Inspection. City shall have the right to inspect all construction, reconstruction,
installation work and/or any other work performed by Atmos Energy and to make such
tests as it deems necessary to ensure compliance with the terms of this Agreement, City
ordinances, and any other local, state, or federal laws.

fixtures where the same will unduly interfere with any gas, electric, or telephone fixture,

improvements shall be placed in such manner as not to unreasonably interfere with the
usual travel or use of the streets,public easements and Right(s)-of-Way.

comply with all customer service rules and regulations, as they exist or may be amended
and/or created, set by the Railroad Commission of Texas or an agency of the state

466644.v2
franchise ordinance determines the franchise fee owed to that municipality for the
use of its Rights-of-Way in a manner that, if applied to the City, would result in a
franchise fee greater than the amount otherwise due City under this Agreement,
then the franchise fee to be paid by Atmos Energy to City pursuant to this

as part of Atmos Energy's rates; (ii) if the City intervenes in any regulatory

with such lessee, licensee or user and (ii) Atmos Energy makes the franchise fee payment
due on the revenues from such lease pursuant to Sections 5.1. and 5.2. of this Agreement.

within thirty (30) calendar days of such determination. Any overpayment to the City

payments referenced in Section 5 of this Agreement within thirty (30) days
following written notice from City that Atmos Energy has failed to make the

with games scheduled at venues across Texas and Oklahoma.
With that, Wylie is being asked to serve as the venue for the 2007 opening ceremonies. To best accomplish this
feat, City staff plans to make this a community effort and has been working with various community
organizations: Wylie Independent School District (WISD), Wylie Youth Soccer Association (WYSA), Wylie
Economic Development Corporation(WEDC) and Wylie Chamber of Commerce (Chamber).
By serving as a venue host, staff sees this as an opportunity for Wylie's youth to gain access to world class
soccer as well as increase the community's profile on an international level.
For the Wylie event, the proposed foreign teams participating include:
• Chelsea Football Club Women's Professional Team (England)
• Jamaican Women's National Team(Jamaica)
• Jamaican U-17 Women's National Youth Team (Jamaica)
• Shanghai Women's Professional Team(China)
• Southwest United Soccer Club U-19's(Canada)

As the opening ceremonies venue, Wylie is being asked to facilitate and/or assist with the following activities.
Games — At this time, there will be four (4) games scheduled on April 21 at Pirate Stadium. The matches are
still being finalized; however, staff have been informed that the marquee match will feature the Jamaican
National Team versus Notre Dame University(2005 NCAA Champions).
Team Tours and Lunch—To promote cultural awareness, there are plans for the foreign teams to tour and have
lunch at Wylie High School on Friday, April 20.
VIP Dinner — With the international aspect, the City is being asked to organize a VIP dinner on Friday, April
20. Invited to the dinner will be foreign Consulates, event sponsors,U.S., State and local dignitaries.
Special Olympics Clinic — Zen is working with the Texas Special Olympics to hold a clinic for approximately
300 Special Olympians on Saturday, April 21. To be held in Founders Park, the clinic will feature instruction
from coaches and players from the participating teams.
Youth Tournament/WYSA Clinic —As part of Panda Cup, Zen is proposing a youth tournament with a portion
of those games to be held at Founders Park. However, this event is occurring at the same time as the WYSA
regular season; and staff and WYSA officials are concerned on available soccer field space at Founders Park.
City staff and WYSA are proposing clinics for WYSA participants as an alternative to the youth tournament.
Opening Ceremonies — As the opening ceremonies venue, there will be an official team procession at Pirate
Stadium on Saturday, April 21. In addition, there is a proposed post-event concert and fireworks. Zen will
provide the entertainment and the City is being asked to provide the stage and fireworks show.
With details still being finalized, City staff have put together the following preliminary budget:
Game Day(WISD facilities, team hospitality, VIP area, etc.) $ 6,000
Team Tour/Lunch $ 1,500
VIP Dinner $ 2,500
Stage/Fireworks $ 10,000
Founders Park(staffing, field maintenance, etc.) $ 2,000
Promotional (tickets printing, flyers/posters, foreign gifts, etc.) $ 2,000
TOTAL $ 24,000
There is the opportunity for the City to generate revenue, such as ticket sales and sponsorships, which will
offset the majority of costs for this event. If approved, City staff will present budget amendments relating to
this event prior to the event date.

Wylie Economic Development Corporation
Annual Report
January 15, 2007
Financial Condition
The Wylie Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) made significant
strides in its financial reporting and accountability this past fiscal year. In
addition to the creation of a Financial Standards & Accountability Policy,
WEDC staff and Board Members have been working to create clear and
concise financial statements. Based upon an independent audit performed in
March 2006 which questioned WEDC accounting practices, the WEDC
Board is vigilant in their effort to maintain accurate financial statements.
Aiding in that process is a much improved line of communication between
the City of Wylie Finance Department and WEDC Staff. Any significant
financial event incurred by the WEDC is communicated to Finance in a
timely manner and properly classified on the WEDC Balance Sheet.
For the sixth consecutive calendar year, and nine out of the last ten, WEDC
sales tax receipts have increased over prior year figures. Up 19% over 2005,
2006 sales tax receipts reached $1,056,238. As well, through the first two
months of the current fiscal year, sales tax receipts are up 13.23%. With no
significant retail project being attributed to this growth, staff believes these
increases are spurred by the regional growth from the surrounding areas of
Lavon, Copeville, Nevada, and Farmersville.
Of the $1,098,726 in sales tax revenue (on an accrual basis), the WEDC
expended $225,691 (21%) on grants and infrastructure assistance, $509,278
(46%) on the purchase of real property, $227,490 (21%) on administration,
$51,383 (5%) on marketing and promotion, and $199,689 (18%) on debt
service. The WEDC also has $27,018 in income from the lease of two
facilities on Industrial Court and one facility on Cooper Drive.
Redevelopment
The WEDC continues in its effort to impact redevelopment in certain area of
the community. With 3 lots (1.43 acres) acquired on Cooper Drive and 0.92
acres acquired on Industrial Court, the WEDC Board of Directors continue
to accumulate properties which can transitioned from industrial to a more
aesthetically pleasing commercial/retail use. Only the property on Industrial
court has any debt associated with its purchase. As well, the WEDC leases
three facilities located on the above properties to offset purchase and debt
service.
In conjunction with City staff, the WEDC proposes the acquisition of 4 acres
located on F.M. 544. Previously owned and operated by Chemical
Recycling, Inc., the site is classified as a Superfund property by the EPA.
While many of the details are yet to be finalized, the deteriorated state of this
site is impetus enough for all taxing entities and the WEDC to take any steps
possible to clean the site up and get it back on the tax roles.
Retail Activity
The WEDC believes 2007 will see additional capital investment in retail
development in at least two key retail areas. With development of strip
centers at the southwest and northeast corners of Spring Creek, the Wal Mart
anchored intersection will provide increased retail opportunities for an
underserved population. This increased strip center activity hopefully will
be a catalyst for pad/restaurant development in the area. Also, staff believes
that negotiations for a sit-down restaurant will be finalized at the northeast
corner of Westgate and F.M. 544. The 26.4 acres surrounding the pad is
gaining the attention of box-anchored developers. The obvious draw is the
existing retail activity at 544 and Westgate. However, staff believes that the
average per square foot cost will be a deterrent to the development of this
site for the foreseeable future.
The WEDC continues to be in discussions with Don Herzog regarding the
68-acre retail site located at the southeastern corner of McCreary and F.M.
544. Until there is a plan in place for the construction of a bridge over
Maxwell Creek, the site will continue to face challenges due to the
inadequate north/south access. As the Wylie City Council considers
priorities for the next County bond issue, the Maxwell Creek bridge and
potentially certain northern portions of McCreary should be considered.
The WEDC and City staff continues to work with Greenway Development
to assist in the clean-up of a 15-acre tract south of Tractor Supply. The
WEDC will begin to play a greater role in retail development by utilizing a
sales tax rebate program. The WEDC can now rebate sales tax generated
from a site tying it back to infrastructure improvements made (i.e. utilities,
parking, lighting, etc.). Because of the existing competitive environment for
new retail development by Firewheel, Sachse, and Murphy, the Wylie
community must utilize all existing tools to encourage capital investment in
Wylie. Furthermore, if Wylie leadership wants to ensure that those capital
dollars are spent in Wylie during the current expansion cycle, the use of
incentives must be considered and utilized.
Industrial Activity
In March of 2007, the WEDC will break ground on the expansion and
improvement to Martinez Lane. From a 28-foot asphalt design to 36-foot
concrete with curb and gutter, the reconstruction of Martinez will greatly
enhance the WEDC's ability to attract companies to the WEDC 25-acre
Premier South Business Park.
The WEDC only completed two industrial projects this past year. SawTech
Corporation will complete its 8,000 square foot facility in March of this
year. Relocating offices from Garland, SawTech will be bringing 8
employees and committing to an increased valuation of $1,025,000. The
financial package negotiated is valued at $74,415 and is payable over a three
year period should SawTech meet their minimum commitments.
To begin construction in the second quarter of 2007, JTM Technologies will
be relocating from their local facilities into a 20,050 square foot facility
within Premier South Business Park. With construction costs estimated at
$1.2 million, JTM is consolidating four facilities currently occupied in
Wylie. Staff has been working with JTM for approximately 18 months on
this project. The WEDC will be selling 2.01 acres to JTM which will front
Martinez adjacent to the Holland U.S.A. facility. With a contract price of
$197,000, the WEDC will retain a note for $166,850. The note will be
eligible for forgiveness should JTM meet their minimum commitments.
The WEDC will continue marketing the remaining Premier South property
for industrial development. There is a 95,000 square foot user which the
WEDC continues to negotiate with to occupy 13 acres of Premier South.
While negotiations have stalled somewhat, staff continues to pursue this
project vigorously. While many small users (20,000 — 30,000 square feet)
will be more than acceptable to the WEDC, single users of significant size
are a more efficient use of a finite amount of land.
The WEDC project history for industrial development since 1996 is at
967,905 square feet. Hopefully in 2007, the WEDC can celebrate its
millionth square foot.
In conclusion, as the Strategic Planning process formally begins on January
18, 2007, the WEDC will have more defined goals and objectives with
which to gauge its success for the 2008 Annual Report. Within the Plan
however will remain the current focus of promoting Premier South,
impacting redevelopment of dilapidated industrial properties, and the WEDC
taking a greater role in the marketing of and financial assistance to retail
development.
