Hencie International, Inc. and $26,945.00 by JDC Construction, Inc. Mr. MacLean suggested
that the disparity between bids may be a result of Hencie International, Inc. perceiving they were
the only bidder. Mr. MacLean recommended that the Board award the contract to JDC
Construction, Inc.

ITEM NO. 3 -Staff Report
Staff discussed issues surrounding the decision of Project Knickerbocker to relocate to Terrell,
Texas. Knickerbocker officials related to staff that their decision was based primarily on the
ability to retain employees in Terrell at a lower hourly wage. The Board instructed staff to
perform an analysis of the Wylie labor pool and a breakdown of hourly wages paid. Also, staff
updated the Board on projects surrounding CPI Communications, the Texas Enterprise Zone
Program, efforts to widen F.M. 544, and L.G. Motorsport.
ITEM NO. 4 - Discuss and Consider a Fiscal Year 1996-97 Action Plan for the Wylie
Economic Development Corporation.
As required by the WEDC By-laws, staff presented the Board with a Fiscal Year 1996-97 Action
Plan outlining the activities which staff will be focusing on during the upcoming fiscal year.
Areas of activity will revolve around effecting the widening of F.M. 544, determining specific
goals and objectives for Premier Business Park, obtaining an Enterprise Zone designation within
the community and developing a marketing campaign which will enhance the appeal of Wylie as
a progressive metroplex community. Staff assured the Board that these areas of activity were
minimum objectives which staff plans to meet. Should relocation/expansion projects present
themselves, the appropriate activities will be reprioritized. The Board believed that this Action
Plan met all the criteria for appropriate activities for the new fiscal year. In addition to the
presented material, Board Member Fuller instructed staff to address issues surrounding the
removal of the soil conservation district within Premier Business Park.
MOTION: A motion was made by Kevin St. John and seconded by Marvin Fuller to
approve a Fiscal Year 1996-97 Action Plan, as amended, for the Wylie
Economic Development Corporation. The WEDC Board of Directors
voted 5 - FOR and 0 - AGAINST in favor of the motion.
ITEM NO. 5 - Discuss and Consider a Loan Request from Novid Properties, Inc.
The Board reviewed the loan request from Novid Properties, Inc. The Board concluded that it is
premature to consider this issue in that the Planning & Zoning Commission nor the Wylie City
Council has approved the preliminary plat. The Board instructed staff to maintain
communication with Novid Properties officials and bring this issue back to the Board following
City of Wylie approvals.
MOTION: A motion was made by Kevin St. John and seconded by Marvin Fuller to
table the Loan Request from Novid Properties, Inc. The WEDC Board of
Directors voted 5 - FOR and 0 - AGAINST in favor of the motion.
