Members of WASA were present to present the check for$55,000 which came from fund raisers the

Council Action
A motion was made by Councilman Goss, seconded by Mayor Pro Tern Spillyards to adopt
Ordinance No. 2013-07 amending Ordinance No. 2012-07 (2012-2013 Budget) and approving
an appropriation of funds in the amount of $55,000 to the Parks Building Fund budget and

2. Consider, and act upon, the appropriation of$25,000 from Acct. # 112-5615-58830 (4B
Recreation, furniture and fixtures) to Acct. # 112-5615-58910 (4B Park, Buildings) for
the purpose of helping to fund the remodel of the Former Library for use as a Wylie
Senior Center. (J. Butters, Asst. City Mgr.)
Staff Comments
Assistant City Manager Butters addressed Council stating that WASA had donated $55,000 for the
purpose of remodeling the building formerly utilized as Smith Public Library, for use as a Wylie Senior
Center. He explained the current budget estimate for the remodel project is $80,000. This year's 4B
budget contains funds for equipping, operating, and maintaining the building as a Wylie Senior Center.
Approximately $98,000 was budgeted for non-salary items, furniture, fixtures, minor tools, utilities, janitor
service, building maintenance, etc. Approximately $16,000 was budgeted in salaries for additional
personnel and man-hours. Because the building will not be opened for at least six months of this budget
year, there is plenty of room in the budget to transfer funds into the 4B Recreation building's account and
utilize this funding for the purpose of the remodel.
Butters explained the last estimate to complete the construction from the architects that designed the
remodel was $80,000. Butters noted that quite a bit of work had already been donated by Tommy
Pulliam Construction along with some of his sub-contractors. The contractors involved in the donations
would be recognized at a future Council meeting. Butters explained that due to the substantial donations
of these companies, the remainder of work might be covered with the WASA donation of $55,000. He
explained that due to bidding requirements, his fear was that if the bid was presented with the entire
amount of work, it would appear that no one would bid on the project as it would look like expenditures
would be greater than the bid price. The funding requested in this item would give additional flexibility to
the remodel and if funding remained could be used for furniture and equipment. Mayor Hogue asked
ACM Butters if the original intent of the budgeted funds was to be used for the senior center(old library).

ACM Butters stated he believed it should be completed in this budget year.

the Former Library for use as a Wylie Senior Center. A vote was taken and the motion passed
7-0.
3. Consider, and act upon, Ordinance No. 2013-06 of the City of Wylie, Texas, repealing
Ordinance No. 2012-33; adopting the 2012 edition of the International Fire Code, save
and except the deletions and amendments set forth herein; amending Chapter 46,
Article III (Fire Code) of the Wylie Code of Ordinances; providing for a penalty for the
violation of this ordinance; providing for repealing, savings and severability clauses;
providing for an effective date of this ordinance; and providing for the publication of
the caption hereof. (R. Corbin, Fire Chief)
Staff Comments
Fire Chief Corbin addressed Council stating that the Fire Dept. and the City are currently an Insurance
Services Office (ISO) Class One rated municipality. In an effort to maintain this rating and remain _ ..
proactive in fire prevention, the Wylie Fire Prevention/Community Risk Reduction Division (WFPCRRD)
has been actively participating in the NCTCOG's Fire Code Advisory Board meetings. The goal of the
WFPCRRD is to maintain and prevent deficiencies in future ISO PPC ratings due to Fire Code, and
remain current in relation to industry standard Fire Code. Adoption of the 2012 International Fire Code
NCTCOG regional amendments, Option B track provides a means for achieving this goal.
Chief Corbin explained that Option B was one of three options recommended by the North Central Texas
Council of Governments. He noted that NCTCOG had not finally approved the three options for
amendments but felt confident they would.
Council Action
A motion was made by Councilman White, seconded by Councilwoman Culver to adopt

WORK SESSION
• Discuss Potential Refunding of 4B Sales Tax Revenue Debt for Savings. (L. Bantz,
Finance Director)
Finance Director Bantz addressed Council stating that the purpose of this work session was to
review the 2005 Certificates of Obligation and General Obligation bonds for refunding to
improve interest rates on the bonds. She introduced David Medanich of First Southwest to
make the presentation.
Mr. Medanich addressed Council stating that the current interest rate on the 2005 GO and CO
bonds was between 4% and 5%. Current interest rates were between 2% to 3% creating a
savings for the City if refunded at the lower interest rates. Depending on the actual interest rate
at sale, the savings on the refunded bonds at their present value of $7,235,000 could be as
much as $555,072. Medanich noted that refunding would not change the maturity date and the
estimated savings was after all transaction costs.
He recommended a Parameter Refunding Ordinance which would give flexibility. The Council
would set the parameters and authorize individuals to act once the market hit those parameters
and sell the bonds. Bonds are in a "Day-to-Day" mode meaning that bonds can be priced at any
time and in an interest rate environment that is advantageous to the City rather than being
locked into pricing on the date of a Council meeting.
Direction from Council was to move forward with potential refunding of 4B Tax Revenue Debt
for savings to be presented during a future Council meeting for consideration.
RECONVENE INTO REGULAR SESSION
Mayor Hogue reconvened into Regular Session at 7:19 p.m.
ADJOURNMENT
With no further business before the Wylie City Council, a motion was made by Councilman
Jones, seconded by Councilman Scott to adjourn the meeting at 7:20 p.m. A vote was taken
and the motion passed 7-0.
