JOINT WORK SESSION WITH WYLIE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
CORPORATION BOARD
Call to Order the Wylie Economic Development Corporation Board of Directors
WEDC Board Chair Marvin Fuller called the WEDC Board of Directors to order at 7:50 p.m. with
the following board members present: John Yeager, Todd Wintters, and Mitch Herzog. Demond
Dawkins was absent.
Sanden representatives in attendance included: Mark Ulfig, Jimmye Phaup, and Kumar
Coimbatore.
• Hold a joint work session between the Wylie City Council, Sanden
International (U.S.A.), Inc., and the Wylie Economic Development
Corporation Board of Directors to receive an update from Sanden officials
on matters pertaining to strategic partnerships and future investment in the
Wylie community in addition to an update on commercial activity in the
Wylie community provided by the Wylie City Council and WEDC. (S.
Satterwhite, WEDC Executive Director)
Mayor Hogue welcomed Sanden and WEDC officials to the special called work session. Mayor
Hogue continued by complimenting Sanden for its significant impact throughout the Wylie
community and expressed optimism toward the ability of Sanden, the City Council, and WEDC
to partner together for the benefit of the Wylie community and its local economy.
Sanden officials presented an overview of Sanden's global operations with an emphasis on their
Wylie plant which employs 572 full-time and approximately 300 part-time personnel. Sanden
Chairman/CEO Mark Ulfig briefed the council on Sanden's intention of developing a new
manufacturing line which will produce pistons for their PX Compressor. Mr. Ulfig commented
that the new line will be operational by the first quarter of 2013 at a cost of$24.215 million. The
two locations being considered by Sanden's leadership are existing plants in Wylie and Mexico.
Mr. Ulfig also stated that while local representatives are pressing for the new investment to be
made in Wylie, many factors are involved in this decision making process.
Sanden's General Manager of Plant Operations Kumar Coimbatore commented that it will cost
Sanden $1 million more each year to operate the new piston line in Wylie. Council member
Goss commented that all the decision makers were present that could address any financial
assistance necessary to offset the $1 million gap. WEDC Director Satterwhite commented that
the WEDC had presented Sanden with an incentive package which is a combination of grants
and a tax abatement but the estimated value of the package can in no way offset the gap in
operating costs. Mr. Ulfig suggested that Mr. Satterwhite, Mr. Coimbatore, and Mr. Jimmye
Phaup, Sanden Sr. Vice President, meet in the near future to discuss what additional assistance
may be available to secure the location of the piston line in Wylie.
Adjourn the Wylie Economic Development Corporation Board of Directors
With no further business before the Wylie Economic Development Corporation Board of
Directors, WEDC Board Chair Marvin Fuller adjourned the WEDC Board meeting at 8:06 p.m.

WORK SESSION
• Discuss issues surrounding joint funding with the WEDC for the extension of
Woodbridge Parkway. (S. Satterwhite, WEDC Executive Director)
WEDC Executive Director Satterwhite addressed council stating that several months ago
WEDC took the lead in the extension of Woodbridge Parkway which is a joint project between
the City of Wylie, WEDC and the City of Sachse totaling $8 million. In doing so the WEDC
committed funding of up to $2 million toward the project. Satterwhite explained that WEDC had
secured funding of up to $2 million from American National Bank, which was approved by the
WEDC board.
Satterwhite explained that during a previous work session there was some conversation
regarding the use of a portion of future thoroughfare impact fees toward the project. In
estimating those future funds from impact fees for that zone, it was estimated the fees would
total close to $1 million. In evaluating the fees generated along Woodbridge Parkway, including
the repayment of Mr. Herzog for Woodbridge Parkway and the remaining properties to be
developed in that zone, it would take in access of 15 years to equal the $1 million. Satterwhite
reported he, the City Manager, and City Engineer had met to discuss the use of a portion of the
thoroughfare impact fees. During the meeting, City Engineer Hoisted had also identified access
funding from previous bond projects that, once all bond projects were completed, could be used
for other projects within the CIP for which Woodbridge Parkway was included.
Satterwhite explained WEDC does want to take the lead on this project as it is a very important
project for the City. Satterwhite asked council to consider utilizing up to $800,000 from access
bond funding toward the $2 million commitment by the WEDC board. Mayor Hogue asked why
this amount was chosen. Mr. Satterwhite stated in discussion with board members, the board
wanted to take the greater share of the commitment by WEDC.
City Engineer Hoisted addressed council and reported funding totals, including county funding
for the past bond projects would be in excess of approximately $3,885,563. Hoisted noted that
this number could go up or down depending on the completion of projects currently in progress.
Councilwoman Culver asked if funding for public art and median improvements were included in
these access fund. Hoisted stated that funding would be available for these projects.
Councilwoman Culver asked Mr. Hoisted if he was comfortable with releasing the requested
$800,000. Hoisted stated the funding was there if council chose to utilize it for the project.
Direction from council was for staff to further review funding a portion of the access bond
proceeds toward the WEDC portion of the commitment for Woodbridge Parkway extension and
bring back for consideration by council at a later date.
Mayor Hogue convened into Executive Session at 8:10 p.m. reading the caption below.
