APPROVAL OF CHANGE IN GROUP HEALTH INSURANCE FROM TML
HARTFORD TO BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD: City Manager Charles

proposals from Blue Cross and Blue Shield and have found
Blue Cross to be very close to the same coverage we are
currently getting from Hartford, TML. The deductible is
$150 .00 under Blue Cross with $200 . deductible at the time
you enter the hospital , our current police is $100 .
deductible and no deductible on entering the hospital . Blue
Cross Blue Shield is offering a prescription card, plus this
also offers a dental plan. The monthly premiums for
employees health is $115 .63 , dental $17 .14 where the city is
currently paying $156 . 20 for health and no dental . The
dependent coverage is $217 .29 per month and the current
policy is $200 .12 per month for premiums . With the savings
the city can save on premiums for employees , we feel we can

currently has six employees with dependent insurance
coverage and staff feels there should be approximately 20
employees with dependent coverage. Staff recommends

APPROVAL OF AN ORDINANCE REPEALING ORDINANCE NO. 89-21 -
UNIFORM BUILDING CODE AMENDMENTS AND APPROVAL OF AN
ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 88-28 , SECTION 3- C, D, & E
OF THE UNIFORM BUILDING CODE: City Manager Charles Norwood
said back in November, 1989 Council passed an Ordinance that
read "That Section 3 (d) of Ordinance 88-28 be, and it is
hereby amended by the insertion of the following section
2309 : (d) All wood ceiling joists shall have a minimum
nominal dimension of 2 inches by 6 inches (unless part of an
Engineer Truss) and they shall have a maximum spacing of 16
inches on centers" . Later at another meeting , Council
amended this Ordinance and stated to follow the Uniform
Building Code. The original ordinance for the adoption of
the Uniform Building Code has the same stipulations for 16"
centers . Tonight Council is being asked to repeal Ordinance
89-21 and amend Ordinance 88-28 which will leave the
stipulation out regarding 16" centers .
Craig Swaner , one of the volunteer fire fighters for Wylie,
stated that he was no engineer , but I am a fire fighter and
I have a concern for the safety of our fire fighters . I am
employed by the City of Plano and have a basic certificate
as a fire fighter through 400 hours of class and I also hold
a certificate for Class A Inspector that was received after
200 hours of class . Plano recognizes these codes and have
made amendments to the codes for the safety and welfare of
the citizens as well as their employees . I have given you
some material on light weight trusses. We realize that
trusses have been here a long time and we are not trying to
do away with them, but want you to understand the danger of
these trusses . When fire hits a truss it expands the metal
brace and when it cools off it will come loose from the
brace. When your faced with going inside a building you
have to figure how long it will be safe to enter that
structure.
City Manager Charles Norwood wanted to know if Plano has
this type of amendments . Craig said no they have the
Uniform Building Code, but we are working with the Council
to amend this . We have been instructed if we go to a fire
with trusses we go in put water on it and get out as soon as
we have made a search for possible people being inside.
Councilman Messenger said it was a good point but most homes
will not be built with trusses . Mayor Pro Tem Naish asked
Councilman Messenger to check into the insurance fire codes
and see if this was addressed. Councilman Messenger said
this was not addressed in the insurance.
Mr . Swaner said that the fireman have requested Mr . Faires
to let them know when a truss building goes up so the
fireman can pre-plan before a fire call comes in.
Mr . Stephen Bisbee, a volunteer fireman for the City of
Wylie, stated that we are beginning a program and it will
work, between Mr . Faires and the Fire Department, and that
is to keep in touch with each other for all types of
buildings and homes going up. The firemen will not be able
to go up into the attic and pull the ceiling if there are
trusses. We have a very good fire department for a
volunteer unit , but we are volunteers and it takes a little
longer to respond plus you may not have more than 6 people
answer the call . If we can request 2X6 framing on 16"
centers it will give us better safety.
Councilman Swartz stated that if he understood right , most
of the problems are in commercial not single family. Mr .
Swaner said we have them in both. Councilman Swartz said I
am understanding that single family dwellings are safer than
commercial .
Councilwoman Stemple said with trusses you have 10 minutes
before the ceiling falls . Mr . Bisbee said yes , after 10
minutes we get out and do not go back in .
Mayor Trimble said you are saying if a house with trusses is
burning , you will stand back and watch it burn. I feel our
safety should be for the people and then save the structure.
Councilwoman Stemple said in your training you learn to look
at a roof and know it is trusses . Mr . Swaner said no, but
in certain additions you know they have used trusses.
Councilman Swartz said that the firemen' s safety is foremost
on our minds.
Mayor Trimble said that Mr . St. John was not notified about
this meeting. I think we need to bring this back one more
time.
Motion was made by Mayor Pro Tem Naish to approve the repeal
of Ordinance No. 89-21 and table the amendments to Ordinance
NO. 88-28 . Seconded by Councilwoman Stemple. The vote was
as follows : Mayor Trimble - in favor , Mayor Pro Tem Naish -
in favor, Councilman Akin - in favor , Councilman Swartz - in
favor , Councilman Wright - in favor , Councilman Messenger -
in favor, and Councilwoman Stemple - in favor. This motion
carried with all in favor .
APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION SUPPORTING THE JANUARY 20TH
ELECTION FOR 1% INCREASE IN SALES TAX: City Manager Charles
Norwood stated that Council requested this resolution be on
this agenda. The election is on January 20th. Councilman
Akin thanked staff for the resolution but was hoping it
would be like what was in the paper . Councilman Akin also
felt the Chamber of Commerce could show their endorsement of
this Election.
Mr . Randy Arp of the Chamber of Commerce, said the Chamber
has come out and endorsed both propositions . The committee
met with the School Board and they are in support of this.
Mayor Pro Tem Naish said there is a flyer circulating that
did not have a name on it. Mr . Arp said it was put out as
a fact sheet and went to all registered voters.
A motion was made by Councilman Akin to approve the
Resolution supporting the 1% sales Tax increase. Seconded

Councilman Wright - in favor , Councilman Messenger - in
favor , and Councilwoman Stemple - in favor . This motion

APPROVAL OF NAMING THE OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER FOR THE CITY :
City Manager Charles Norwood said the City has two
newspapers and there is a statue stating the requirements
for newspapers . The newspaper selected must meet the
definition of Article 28a, V.R.C.S. That statute defines a
newspaper as one devoting not less than twenty-five percent
of its total column lineage to the caring of items of
general interest, published not less frequently than once
each week, entered as second class postal matter in the
county where published , and having been published regularly
and continuously for not less than twelve months prior to
the making of any publication required to be made by law by
the City.
A motion was made by Councilman Messenger to name the Wylie
Sentinel as the official newspaper for the City of Wylie.
Seconded by Councilman Swartz .
Councilman Akin wanted to know if we have general
circulation reports from both papers . Mayor Pro Tem Naish
said we have requested this before. City Manager Charles
Norwood said we have this information . City Secretary said
that this has been requested , but have not had a reply.
Councilman Akin requested that a circulation report be
requested .
Mayor Trimble called for a vote on the motion to appoint The
Wylie Sentinel as the official newspaper . The vote was as
follows : Mayor Trimble - in favor , Mayor Pro Tem Naish - in
favor , Councilman Akin - against , Councilman Swartz - in
favor , Councilman Wright - in favor, Councilman Messenger -
in favor , and Councilwoman Stemple - against. This motion
carried with five in favor and two against.
DISCUSSION OF WAYS TO HONOR VOLUNTEER FIREMEN: City Manager
Charles Norwood said that Councilwoman Stemple had wanted to
recognize our Volunteer Fire Department in some way.
Councilwoman Stemple said we would like to look at who has
attended the most training sessions and answered the most
fire calls and recognize them quarterly. Councilman Swartz
said this is the first time we have not done this at
Christmas . Mayor Trimble said we have done this in the
past, and the group should come up with the information
needed . Councilman Akin stated to let the fire chief
appoint a committee and let city staff know each quarter who
will be recognized and we will give them a plaque. Mr .
Craig Swaner said he would get with the fire chief and asked
him to appoint this committee . Mr . Swaner stated that it
would be good to put money back into the training program
instead of giving a plaque.
APPROVAL OF SASA SANITARY SEWER LINE EXTENSION: City
Manager Charles Norwood recommend this item be tabled , as
staff is still working with San Antonio Savings. A motion
was made by Councilman Akin to table this item. Seconded by
Mayor Pro Tem Naish. The vote was as follows : Mayor
Trimble - in favor, Mayor Pro Tem Naish - in favor,
Councilman Akin - in favor , Councilman Swartz - in favor,
Councilman Wright - in favor , Councilman Messenger - in
favor , and Councilwoman Stemple - in favor. This motion
carried with all in favor .
APPROVAL OF INCREASE IN SUBSIDY TO LIFELINE AMBULANCE
SERVICE: City Manager stated that the Council has received
a letter from Lifeline Ambulance Service to increase their
subsidy by $3 ,730 . more than what we are currently paying.
City Manager Charles Norwood stated that this $3 ,730 . more
does not include dispatching and I am opposed to the Police
Department doing the dispatching for the ambulance service.
It will take another $3,000 . to have the dispatching done by
Lifeline.
Mr. Donnie Norman said that he took over the ambulance
service in February, 1989 and it was not in good financial
shape. December has come and gone and there is no contract
between the City and Lifeline for ambulance services . We
are asking Council for temporary contract for a quarter with
this increase in subsidy.
A motion was made by Councilman Wright to increase the
subsidy and have Lifeline do their own dispatching.
Councilman Messenger asked if Lucas and Collin County have
been approved for an increase in their subsidy. Mr . Norman
said Collin County has increased their subsidy and Lucas is
paying more per head per capita then anyone else. Mayor Pro
Tem Naish wanted to know how much was in his accounts
receivables . Mr . Norman said $60,000 but I do not feel we
will collect, as it is all over 120 days past due .
Councilman Akin asked if this increase will pay his bills
and get the business back up. Mr . Norman said yes it will .
Councilman Swartz said we are going out for bids soon and
the reports we have on subsidy is around $100 ,000 plus per
year .
Councilman Swartz seconded Councilman Wright' s motion to
increase the subsidy , if it would state the amount.
Councilman Wright amended his motion to reflect that the
current subsidy have $6 ,330 added to it . Mayor Trimble
asked Mr . Norman if this $6 ,330 additional subsidy would
take care of things . Mr. Norman said yes , he feels like it
will . Mayor Trimble called for a vote on the above motion
to increase the subsidy by $6 ,330 . The vote was as follows:
Mayor Trimble - in favor , Mayor Pro Tem Naish - in favor,
Councilman Akin - in favor , Councilman Swartz - in favor ,
Councilman Wright - in favor, Councilman Messenger - in
favor , and Councilwoman Stemple - in favor. This motion

comments within two minutes. There was no one wishing to

COUNCIL DISCUSSION: Mayor Pro Tem Naish wanted to know when
the follow up and council inquiries would start being put in
the packets . City Manager Charles Norwood said with the
next packets.
Councilman Wright said he received a newcomers packet and
the City has not added anything in it . Mr . White, Mr .
Homeyer and myself have been looking at putting in an
information sheet of city staff and their day time phone
numbers.
Councilman Wright also stated that BFI was to get back in
touch with us for putting out extra bins for Christmas and
as of this date we have not heard from them.
Councilman Akin said there was a crew in town that would be
filming the book "Evidence of Love" in parts of Wylie during
the next few weeks.
Mayor Trimble recessed the regular business meeting and
called for a ten minute break and then Council would convene
into a work session in the Council Conference Room and those
wishing to come in were welcome.
Mayor Trimble convened the Council into a work session
regarding the move of the National Guard to Wylie. City
Manager Charles Norwood stated that the National Guard was
interested in moving to Wylie and had been offered some 10
acres north and adjacent to the area next to City Hall .
This land is being donated to the National Guard by
Centennial Homes, Barron Cook and Sparky Beckham. This land
is just across the railroad tracks and faces the proposed
Spring Creek Parkway. In order for the National Guard to
have this land, they must get across the tracks (two sets of
tracks) , each crossing will cost approximately $140 ,000 . ,
plus the utilities have to be placed under the tracks , which
would be approximately another $10 ,000 . The National Guard
is wanting on a commitment from the City on these railroad
crossings and the utilities and the completion of Spring
Creek Parkway. Mr . Beaty said there will be approximately 3
million dollars spent in these buildings . There was
discussion of putting in one crossing now and the second
later on. Mr . Beaty said if one crossing was put in this
would get them to their site and the second crossing could
be put in later on. Mr . Jerry Hoagland stated that he met
with Mr . Beaty and some others this afternoon and they would
feel better if both crossings were committed to since this
would mean that Spring Creek Parkway would be completed in
the future. City Manager Charles Norwood asked Mr . Hoagland
if the city committed to one crossing would the County
commit to one. Mr . Hoagland said he would try and get the
other crossing. Mr . Hoagland also stated that this could go
in the next bond program, that would extend Spring Creek
Parkway to Ballard Street . The long range goal is to have
Spring Creek Parkway all the way through to Plano.
Mr. Jerry Hoagland reported on the projects with the City
and the County. Mr . Hoagland said it was time to set up
another meeting with the Highway Department regarding
Highway 78 . We have information that Highway 78 needs
widening as soon as possible and we would like to set up
this meeting if that is all right with the Council .
Mr . Ruben Delgado reported on Sanden Blvd. - it was 99%
complete, railroad crossing should be done in February,
seeding of the channel and embankments will be done in the
Spring , with total completion by late March or early April .
Engineering contracts have been executed for McCreary and
Brown projects. Plans are done and Mr . Homeyer has looked
at them, and they would be completed in Feb. or March.
Could go out for bids by April . City Manager Charles
Norwood wanted to know if any of the lines that belong to
NTMWD along Brown St. would be disturbed . Mr . Homeyer said
no, if any cuts, it will just be about 6" and this would not
bother their lines.
Mayor Trimble recessed the open meeting and convened Council
into Executive Session at 10: 00 P.M. under the authority of
Article 6252-17 V.A.C.S. , Section 2 paragraph "g" Personnel
Matters - Evaluation Procedures for Department Heads.
Mayor Trimble reconvened Council into open session at 11: 50
P.M. and there being no other matters for discussion, a
motion was made to adjourn with all in favor .

' OPEN SPACE PROJECT PRESENTATION BY MR. BILL FRASER: Mr.
Bill Fraser introduced himself and distributed Collin County
Open Space Program literature. He stated that Wylie is in a
very strategic location because of Lake Lavon and Lake Ray
Hubbard. He said that he could not make any plans for us
but that he could point us in the right direction.
Bill Fraser presented a map of the Wylie area identifying
the lake shore lines, stream corridors, greenways, and
pipelines/overhead lines that can be used for trail systems.
Bill Fraser said I feel you have an excellent opportunity to
expand the park system in conjunction with the school
system. Cooperative efforts between cities and schools
increases the possibility of obtaining grant money from the
county.
Mr. Fraser distributed greenway network literature and
stated that most of the greenways in our area are flood
plains, which restricts any kind of development.
Bill Fraser said if you have a published master plan for the
park system then developers can see intended park areas and
usually will plan with that in mind. When preparing a long
term community wide master plan you have to take into
consideration animal and vegetation habitats, city council ,
planning and zoning, the park board, basically the entire
community. Major archeological sites are in the lake area.
Historical early settlement sites would be of interest to
rebuild and would be an asset. Share the planning
development with the citizens, let them help.
Mr. Fraser said in looking at the whole county, Wylie is
sitting in a very strategic spot. It is the only city in
the entire county that is surrounded by two separate lakes.
The lake is the key and is the gold mine, and can be a major
economic benefit to the city. Wylie can obtain long term
leases for lake front property, from the Corp of Engineers.
They are interested in getting out of managing land.
Don White asked Mr. Fraser, if the City had an architectural
landscaping study done that would tie in the Wylie area to
the open space program, would the County assist in the
funding of the study. Mr . Fraser said he could not answer
that question, but that the county is beginning to do more
and more in assisting communities in the planning process.
Don White asked Bill Fraser, if the Park Board would ask
City Council to keep that in mind do you think we may have
any success. Bill Fraser said it is very possible.
Don White said that the open space program could be a
project for one of the board members. They could approach
Mr. Norwood about this and then he could talk to City
Council .
Bill Fraser said that Lake Ray Hubbards shoreline is owned
by the City u* Dallas, but that it is possible for the City
of Wylie to lease some of that land. The county had been
exploring the possibility of developing the old channel into
a canoe channel , put in a road, parking, and rental canoes.
Mr. Fraser distributed a list of considerable programs for
the Wylie community, and a listing of foundations that give
money for recreational programs. We can possibly work
together with Texas Parks and Wildlife on grants. There are
four major grant centers in Dallas including the main
library.
Bill Fraser said that we may consider tieing Pirate Drive
into Community Park by extending the road into the park as
the major entrance.
Bill Fraser distributed a brochure on the Trinity Trail .
There was some discussion of what the possibilities are of
abolishing the hunting area adjacent to one section of the
trail .
March for Parks program was brought up and discussed. It is
held 04-21-90 through 04-28-90 and is a national celebration
of the outdoors. People commit to walking a certain number
of miles and get people to sponsor them for ascertain amount

Dear Ms. Jones :
Enclosed please find a proposed resolution opposing the

Should the Council approve this or any other version of a
resolution opposing the landfill , I would appreciate you sending
a copy of such resolution to me at the above address. Thank you
for your assistance in this matter. If you have any questions or
comments, please contact me at 746-2560.

BEFORE THE
GOVERNING BODY OF THE CITY OF WYLIE
RE: APPLICATION OF TEXAS S
UTILITIES ELECTRIC COMPANY S DOCKET NO.
FOR AUTHORITY TO CHANGE RATES S
PETITION AND STATEMENT OF INTENT
TO THE HONORABLE SAID GOVERNING BODY:
COMES NOW Texas Utilities Electric Company ("TU Electric"), a corporation
organized and existing under the laws of the State of Texas and a public utility as that
term is defined in the Public Utility Regulatory Act, Article 1446c, V.A.T.S. (the "PURA")
and files this its Petition and Statement of Intent, respectfully showing unto this
Honorable Governing Body the following:
I.
The most recent rate increase received by any portion of the TU Electric system
was in January 1984, when Dallas Power & Light Company, one of TU Electric's corporate
predecessors, was granted a rate increase in Docket No. 5256. TU Electric's only rate
case, Docket No. 5640, resulted in an October 1984 order reducing rates by some $7
million. TU Electric has worked diligently to improve productivity and control costs,
which not only has enabled it to forgo rate relief for some six years but which also enables
TU Electric to bring Comanche Peak Unit 1 into rates and, yet, hold the line on this
necessary rate increase to 10.2%. TU Electric's ability to forgo rate relief for so long and
its aggressive efforts to take advantage of declining natural gas prices have benefited
customers to the point that, currently, the average cost of a kilowatthour is about what it
was in 1982. With the increase sought hereby, the average cost of a kilowatthour holds
PETITION AND STATEMENT OF INTENT - Page 1
30
steady at about the level it was in 1984. This, despite the facts that, between January 1,
1984 and June 30, 1989, TU Electric has added 330,000 new customers, has invested $7.2
billion in additional plant and equipment, and has seen the effects of inflation increase its
non-fuel operating expenses by almost $300 million.
The rate increase sought hereby is the minimum rate relief required to maintain TU
Electric's financial integrity and to permit it to attract the capital necessary for it to
continue to fulfill its public service obligations of providing reliable electric service to
its customers at reasonable costs. Moreover, the rate increase sought hereby is the minimum
rate relief required to permit TU Electric a reasonable opportunity to earn a reasonable
return on its invested capital used and useful in rendering service to the public over and
above its reasonable and necessary operating expenses.
TU Electric, in accordance with Substantive Rule 23.23(b)(2) of the Public Utility
Commission of Texas, is requesting final reconciliation of its fuel costs and fuel revenues
during the period April 1, 1983 through June 30, 1989, and the approval of revised fuel
factors reflecting TU Electric's known or reasonably predictable fuel costs and
kilowatthour sales for the period from May 1990 through April 1991.
II.
This Honorable Governing Body has jurisdiction over TU Electric and the subject
matter of this Petition and Statement of Intent by virtue of Section 17(a) of the PURA.
III.
In keeping with the provisions of Section 43(a) of the PURA and in order to assure
the timely availability of the needed rate relief in the event that this Honorable
Governing Body suspends the proposed effective date of the proposed rates, TU Electric
proposes that the proposed change in rates be effective on February 20, 1990.
PETITION AND STATEMENT OF INTENT - Page 2
IV.
The proposed revised tariffs and schedules are set forth in Volume XVIII of this
filing and statements specifying in detail each proposed change are set forth in
Volumes XXII and XXIV of this filing.
V.
The proposed changes are expected to increase TU Electric's adjusted test-year
operating revenues 10.2%, or $442,353,715, which includes the effect of the proposed
reduced fuel factors. The test-year upon which this Petition and Statement of Intent is
based is the twelve-month period beginning July 1, 1988, and ending June 30, 1989.
VI.
All of TU Electric's customers and classes of customers in areas over which this
Honorable Governing Body exercises original jurisdiction will be affected by the proposed
changes.
VII.
Attached and made a part hereof for all purposes, in twenty-four (24) volumes,
numbered I through XXIV is a complete rate filing package setting forth such other
information required by the Public Utility Commission of Texas, including testimony
supporting the proposed changes in TU Electric's rates.
VIII.
Virtually identical Petitions and Statements of Intent (together with all pertinent
information filed herewith) are being filed with the Public Utility Commission of Texas
and with the appropriate officer of each municipality that exercises original jurisdiction
over TU Electric's rates, operations and services.
