WORK SESSION
• Discussion of provision of sewer services outside of Wylie city limits.
City Manager Manson explained to Council that a restaurant owner located near S.H. 1378 and
located within the City of St. Paul had requested a sewer tape for an existing restaurant. City
Manager Manson reported that she had been in contact with the City of St. Paul regarding de-
annexing the property and the City of St. Paul was bound by the Type A Municipality local
government code which required a certain size lot before de-annexation was permitted. Ms.
Manson explained that it had long been the policy of Council that only property located within
the incorporated boundaries of Wylie would be provided City services. She explained that this
particular situation was unusual as the restaurant owner could not operate the business without
a city sewer system. She explained that the septic system currently being used by the property
owner, no longer had the capacity to service the business. Direction from Council was to
continue with the procedures in place regarding city services; to do otherwise would set
precedence.
• Discussion of growth and staff projections and associated funding costs.
Finance Director Larry Williamson gave a presentation on the City's long range financial model.
Mr. Williamson went over Historical revenues and expenditures and how they predict future
revenues and expenditures in the population driven model. Mayor Mondy commented on the
amount of ad valorum taxes that the city receives from the average household in Wylie vs. the
amount of money spent by the city on city services. Numerous revenue enhancements were
discussed including expanding the Alarm Monitoring Program and expanding our commercial
tax base. Mr. Williamson finished the presentation with a review of tax rates generated by the
model.
