and the Wylie Independent School District (WISD) for the purpose of jointly planning and developing the
Central.Park/Athletic Field Complex.
Background
During the October 24th Council meeting, the Council was presented with the preliminary
Conceptual Plan for the Central Park/Athletic Field Complex. The purpose of the Plan is to identify the
locations for the various facilities proposed for the park, and to set the stage for the development of an
agreement between the City and the WISD regarding the specific responsibilities of the two governing
bodies. Staff anticipates that the detailed agreement will be approved by the Council and the WISD
Board of Trustees in a joint meeting in January.
The purpose of this Resolution is to formally establish a working relationship between the City
and the WISD to ensure the continued communication and cooperation that will be necessary to carry
out this project. The Resolution includes a Joint Action Plan which sets out goals for not only the
development of the park and athletic field complex, but also for the provision of safe environments for
school sites, and for the continued development of new projects which will benefit the citizens of Wylie.
The WISD Board of Trustees are scheduled to consider approval of this Resolution during their
November 20th meeting.

oval of Extension Lette r fo r>(n bulanc¢ Contract
Issue
The City Council is requested to discuss and consider extending the current ambulance contract
from December 15, 1995 to March 14, 1996.
Background
Central Ambulance is the current provider for the ambulance service to the City of Wylie. Due to the
competitive bid process an extension of the present contract is necessary to allow for the required
advertising of the bid and to allow the City Council to consider other options presented by the City Staff.
Staff is currently gathering information and legal opinions to optimize the service for the growth of the
community.
Financial Consideration
This extension funding is presently allocated in the 1995-1996 budget and this extension is based
on the current funding rate provided for in the present contract. No further funds are needed at this time.
Legal Consideration
City Attorney, Richard Abernathy, is currently working on revisions for a new RFP that will be adopted
March 14, 1996, with the Council's approval.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the extension of the ambulance contract.

Issue
Tonight's Public Hearing represents the second of two public hearings to allow
interested parties an opportunity to be heard concerning the annexation of specific
property along the FM 544 corridor.
Background
There are several purposes for this annexation. It will allow the city to consolidate
its city limit boundaries. This will also eliminate pockets of county land that are bounded
on at least two sides by property in the city. This creates certain service delivery
challenges. Many of the properties are along the most highly visible corridor (FM544)
coming into the City of Wylie. In order to maintain the standards that the citizens of Wylie
have come to expect, the city must annex said property to oversee and regulate future
development.
To clarify terms used in this annexation, listed below are:
Unincorporated - this area is surrounded by the city limits, but the city has no
jurisdiction as far as requiring building permits, housing inspection, code
enforcement, or zoning, but the city does require any platting of land to follow the
Wylie Subdivision Regulations.
City/ETJ -this area is the same as unincorporated property except this property is
within one mile of the current city limits, allowing enforcement of Subdivision
Regulations (paving, drainage, water, sewer) if platted.
City-this area must conform with all standards set by the city and all services are
made available to property owners.
A service plan has been established for this area. A service plan must include
police protection, fire protection, solid waste collection, maintenance of water and
wastewater facilities, and maintenance of roads and streets, including road and street
lighting.
The City Council passed a resolution calling for the two public hearings on
September 26, 1995. The first public hearing was held October 24, 1995.
Legal Consideration
Local Government Code 43.052, Annexation Hearing Requirements, states the
governing body must conduct two public hearings at which persons interested in the
annexation are given the opportunity to be heard.
Local Government Code 43.053, Period of Completion for Annexation, states that
the annexation of an area must be completed within 90 days after the date of the
governing body institutes the annexation proceedings or those proceedings are void.
Financial Consideration
Attached is a table showing the possible financial expenditures that the city would
incur.
Recommendation
Staff recommends holding the two public hearings to annex property along the FM
544 corridor.

Extend water service from the existing 8-inch water main in the Premier Business Park,
westward following Hensley Lane (C.R. 297), approximately 2,400 feet to serve eight
tracts (Housewright, Hensley, Van Cleeve, Speed, Miller, Bradshaw, Caldwell, and

Item No. 8 . -
Extend wastewater service from the existing 8acre J L. Brand Interceptor Sewer 1 180
westward, along the north line of the 34.
feet to serve two tracts (J.L. Brand and Dorothy Green, and J.L. Brand).
Item No. 7
Extend wastewater service from the existingthe Swanson tract.
Creek Interceptor Sewer
eastward, approximately 700 feet to serve
Item No. 9
Extend wastewater service from the existing 24-inch Muddy Creek Interceptor Sewer
westward, across the Francis Bates tract and then along the common line of the 34.98
and 32.14 acre J.L. Brand and Dorothy Green Tracts, approximately 3,400 feet to serve
eight tracts (Brand (3), Taylor, Wood, Lemmon, and Mannewitz).
Item No. 2
Extend water service from the existing 12-inch water main along north side of FM 544
northward following Marshall Lane, northward and then eastward, approximately 2,400
feet to serve two tracts (Mannewitz and Lemmon).
Item No. 3
Extend water service from the proposed water main (Item No. 8 of this plan) northward,
along the west line of the Mannewitz tracts, approximately 2,000 feet to serve three
tracts (Mannewitz, Housewright, and Housewright).
Item No. 11
Extend wastewater service from the existing 30-inch Muddy Creek Interceptor Sewer
east and then northeasterly, along the tributary to Muddy Creek, approximately 2,900
feet to serve both the 17.5 and 37.96 acre Carlson tracts.
POLICE AND FIRE PROTECTION
The City will expand police and fire protection services as needed to meet changing requirements.
MAINTENANCE OF WATER, SEWER, STREETS, ETC.
The City will own and maintain all facilities constructed, dedicated, and accepted for public use.
SOLID WASTE COLLECTION .
Provision of service to new customers is covered by the franchise agreement with the service
provider. Service will be expanded as needed.
Following are two examples of how the service plan might be implemented showing how the
financial considerations may be affected:
Example No. 1:
If the Parker Road LTD. tract in the 555 acres north of McMillan Road Annexation develops before
the Wylie LTD. tract, the cost of the utility construction would be borne by Parker Road LTD., but
only for the size of main required to serve that development. The cost of "oversizing" the main for
future development of the Wylie LTD. tract and others would be paid for by the City (at the City's
option). When the Wylie LTD. tract does finally plat and develop, impact fees would be assessed
to cover the cost of oversizing the line. In this type of case, the City would have spend money up
front out of convenience, only to recoup it later as development continues.
Exarriple No. 2:
If the Swanson tract requires a sewer extension, and there is an existing residence or business, the
City would be responsible for providing service. The only way the City would be able to recoup this
money is if the property is someday subdivided and platted. At that time, impact fees would be
used to offset the cost of the previous improvements.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
The following table shows the approximate projected costs (in today's dollars) of providing water and/or
wastewater service to the properties being considered for annexation. The costs shown represent the cost
to the City if the mains are funded entirely with City funds. It should be noted that in most cases, the cost of
construction will be recouped when the properties being served are platted and developed, through impact
fees, etc. These costs are projections only. Actual construction costs may vary in the future.

Reference: 6-4.1.1
F.I. 92-1 (NFPA 1500)
Question 1: Assume that a fire department operates by dispatching personnel not as
a unit from a fire station, but as individuals or groups from various locations who
are expected to assemble at the scene of a fire.
Is it the intent of the standard and the recent TIA that added paragraph 6-4.1.1 which
requires that "four members be assembled before initiating interior fire fighting
operations at a working structural fire to permit the fire department to determine the
appropriate method for assembling personnel at the fire scene?
Answer: Yes
Question 2: Assume that a fire department operates by dispatching personnel and
apparatus from a fire station to arrive at the fire scene as a unit.
Recognizing the recent TIA that added paragraph 6-4.1.1 which requires that "four
members be assembled before initiating interior fire fighting operations at a working
fire," and A-6-4.1.1, is it the intent of the standard to recommend a staffing level
of four persons per responding unit?
Answer: Appendix A-6-4.1 recommends several response options and states in part". . .It
is recommended that a minimum acceptable fire company staffing level should be 4
members responding on or arriving with each engine and each ladder company responding
to any type of fire. The minimum acceptable staffing level for companies responding
in high-risk areas should be 5 members responding or arriving with each engine company
and 6 members responding or arriving with each ladder company. These recommendations
are based on experience derived from actual fires and in-depth fire simulations and
are the result of critical and objective evaluations of fire company effectiveness. "

CROSS TRAINED E.M.S. PERSONNEL(CITY OF WYLIE EMPLOYEES)
This option would let the City of Wylie and the ambulance contractor develop a public/private
partnership. The contractor would provide:
(1)perform all billing,collections,purchasing and other operational functions(2)maintain all licenses,
permits,and third party relationships. (3)negotiate all mutual aid agreements with final approval by the City
(4)maintain and provide all supplies and equipment(5)provide or arrange for in-service training of all field
personnel(6)propose and provide justification for rate changes(7)provide graphics for the ambulance that
are agreed on by both parties (8)provide monthly billing reports to the City (9)provide liability and
malpractice coverage for the City of Wylie EMS operations personnel(10)provide back-up ambulances as
stated in R.F.P. (11)provide a fully staffed ambulance for the first 90 days to allow for hiring and training
of personnel by the City of Wylie.
As compensation for services rendered the Contractor receives:
1. Cooperation from City in demonstrating Contractor's capabilities to other
potential buyers;
2. Income from fee-for-service revenues.
The city would hire firefighter/paramedics to staff the ambulance designated in Wylie, this would
also provide enhanced Firefighting capabilities. The benefits to the City of Wylie are:
• Gives the city quality and patient care control
• Additional and 24 hr. staffing for the fire department
• Decreased Fire Department response times
• Improved fire protection capabilities
• Cross-utilization of personnel (more personnel for large E.M.S. scenes or large fires).
• Will reduce future fire department staffing costs
The city would;
- provide personnel staffing(6) for the City of Wylie's primary ambulance, for emergency service
in the city limits.
- pay for all related personnel costs
- not pay any subsidy, would receive a subsidy defraying the cost of new personnel
This will consolidate the services and require both entities to have input in personnel being hired.
ADVANTAGES
• PATIENT TREATMENT/QUALITY CONTROL
• INCREASED E.M.S TRAINING (FROM 4 TO 16 HRS A MONTH)
• COORDINATED TREATMENT AT SCENES, E.M.S. AND FIRE
• KEY RATE/ISO PERSONNEL CREDIT
• THE CITY NOT EXPOSING ITSELF TO PROFIT / LOSS
• FIXED PERSONNEL COSTS TO THE CITY
• COMMAND AND CONTROL
• NO OUTSIDE PERSONNEL LIABILITY
• 24 HR. FIRE PRO'i'hCTION
• FIRE DEPARTMENT PERSONNEL CURRENTY EMS TRAINED

WyH City Council #6
Agenda Communication for December 19, 1995
Annexation of Property Along FM 544 Corridor
Issue
To discuss and consider ordinances concerning the annexation of specific property
along the FM 544 corridor.
Background
The City Council passed a resolution on September 26, 1995 calling for two public
hearings to initiate the annexation process. Public Hearings were held on October 24,
1995 and November 14, 1995.
There are several purposes for this annexation. It will allow the city to consolidate
its city limit boundaries. This will also eliminate pockets of county land that are bounded
on at least two sides by property in the city. This creates certain service delivery
challenges. Many of the properties are along the most highly visible corridor (FM544)
coming into the City of Wylie. In order to maintain the standards that the citizens of Wylie
have come to expect, the city must annex said property to oversee and regulate future
development.
To clarify terms used in this annexation, listed below are:
Unincorporated - this area is surrounded by the city limits, but the city has no
jurisdiction as far as requiring building permits, housing inspection, code
enforcement, or zoning, but the city does require any platting of land to follow the
Wylie Subdivision Regulations.
City/ETJ -this area is the same as unincorporated property except this property is
within one mile of the current city limits, allowing enforcement of Subdivision
Regulations (paving, drainage, water, sewer) if platted.
City -this area must conform with all standards set by the city and all services are
made available to property owners.
A service plan has been established for this area. A service plan must include
police protection, fire protection, solid waste collection, maintenance of water and
wastewater facilities, and maintenance of roads and streets, including road and street
lighting.
Decisions regarding specific parcels may be difficult to make. The legal obligations
established in the annexation code regarding the provision of services might on the surface
appear to go against the best interests of a single property owner. The owner of property
that will not be served with a brand new concrete street or with utility extensions that extend
to the home/business structure, might believe that annexation is not in their best interest.
However, the City will, in each and every instance, fulfill its legal obligation under the
existing law.
Police, Fire, Environmental Health and Code, Planning and Zoning, Park and
Recreation, Water and Sanitary Sewer Services will be provided in accordance with
existing City policies.
Legal Consideration
Local Government Code 43.053, Period of Completion for Annexation, states that
the annexation of an area must be completed within 90 days after the date of the governing
body institutes the annexation proceedings or those proceedings are void. The annexation
will be in effect after passage by Council and publication of ordinance in the local
newspaper.
Financial Consideration
Attached is a table showing the possible financial expenditures that the city would
incur.
Recommendation
Staff recommends annexation of the property located along the FM 544 corridor.
