Update on Renovation of Community Center
Issue
Presentation regarding the status of the new Community Center renovation.
Background
- On March 25, a joint meeting was held between the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board and the
Senior Citizen Advisory Board in order to discuss the use of and the potential design for the new Community
Center. As a result of the meeting, certain items were identified as priority for accomplishment within the
established 4B budget. The top priority items included a kitchen, adequate storage area, and a separate
room that can be secured which would be dedicated for the use of senior citizen activities. The new
Community Center would be used in much the same way as the existing facility, i.e., Meals on Wheels, and
senior citizen activities during the day and community group functions during the evenings and weekends.
It is hoped that the senior citizen activities will expand with the addition of craft groups, game tables, and
a TV room.
Other items identified as a part of a wish list were the availability of movable partitions, a TV room,
sturdy furniture, and new lighting. An additional item that was discussed at length was the need for some
type of supervision to be present during the hours that the various community groups are using the building.
There is currently a problem with vandalism taking place in the building, even when adult supervision is
present. The current Community Center Policy states that deposit and rental fees are not charged to
civic/non-profit types of organizations. When multiple groups use the building in one day, it is difficult to
assign the blame as to who caused the damage in the event that a deposit has been received.
Staff is in the process of working with an architect who has experience with municipal projects and
it is anticipated that a design for the facility will be submitted in April. The renovations required for the new
Community Center will not be extensive and should be completed within the time frame required to keep
the Library expansion on schedule.
Financial Considerations
The purchase of the building and the cost for renovation is funded by the 4B Sales Tax. The budget
for the renovation of the building is approximately $175,000.

Resolution for Clean Up/Green Up
Issue
Discuss and consider adopting a Resolution in recognition of Clean Up and Green Up Week
Background
This year marks the 4th annual Wylie Clean Up and Green Up Week. The event is an opportunity
for the citizens of Wylie to show their pride in their community by taking part in the beautification efforts.
Dumpsters will be set up at Community Park from Saturday April 20 through Saturday April 27 for
citizens to bring, free of charge, their trash and metal and tire recyclables. A free pick up service will be
available on April 20 for Senior Citizens and Physically Challenged Citizens. On Saturday, April 20
organized efforts for Adopt-A-Street, Adopt-A-Highway and other activities will begin at 8:30 at Olde City
Park. Food, music, and prizes will be available for the volunteers.
Financial Considerations
The most recent contract with BFI includes a provision for BFI to provide 8 thirty yard containers
and 25 free trips to the landfill. Previously, only 10 free trips were provided. The additional 15 free trips
to the landfill will save the City approximately $2550.00.

Agenda Communication for April 9, 1996
Proposal for FM 544 Corridor Study
Issue
Discuss and consider approval of a proposal for the FM 544 Corridor Study
Background
The City Council has identified the improvement of the appearance of FM 544 as a priority. Several
code enforcement efforts are underway along the corridor to address existing problems that have developed
over time. Many of these specific sites were either inherited through annexation or are the result of
development without the benefit of policies or codes to appropriately control the use and appearance of the
property.
These same issues are also identified within the City's Comprehensive Plan, which was adopted in
August 1994. The Plan states the following with regard to FM 544:
FM 544 will continue to be the primary east/west corridor through Wylie,
consequently, preservation of its traffic carrying capacity is important. To
date, FM 544 has been developed with a variety of small parcel industrial
development, which are not well laid out or landscaped.
In the future, FM 544 should be developed as an industrial corridor.
Industrial development should be of extremely high quality with attractive
landscaping, signage and site design. Similar consideration should be given
to the use of incentives, parcel consolidation, parallel roadways, sensitivity
to residential neighborhoods, attractive landscaping, and City entrance
features...
The Plan also recommends a detailed corridor design study be developed for FM 544 prior
to any widening to coordinate building lines, signage, landscaping, driveway access and
compatible land uses.
A corridor study is a means to an end. Through the development of the study,
specific goals will need to be identified for FM 544 - what types of uses should be
encouraged, are there screening or landscaping requirements that should be considered,
should driveways be shared to limit access, and so forth. Once these goals are
established, the next step is to determine what tools are needed to achieve the goals. The
Corridor study will include recommendations for the use of such tools as policies, plans,
and ordinances that would be necessary for implementation.
Financial Considerations
This item was not budgeted in FY96. It is being brought before the Council at this
time in response to the expressed sense of urgency created by the code enforcement
discussion. If the Council wishes to proceed, the study would be completed under a
professional services contract. Similar studies in like communities have been completed
for amounts between $5,000 to $15,000.

Agenda Communication for April 9, 1996
Farmers Electric Cooperative l(FEC) Franchise Agreement First Public Reading
Issue
Hold the first of two required public readings of the ordinance and consider a new franchise
agreement with Farmers Electric Cooperative (FEC).
Background
The City's current non-exclusive franchise agreement with FEC was for a ten year period which
expired in December 1995. The franchise rate for the current contract was for three (3) percent of the
annual gross receipts for each calendar year received by FEC from the sales of all electric, heat, and
power service revenues within the City. The new franchise agreement proposes to increase the franchise
rate to four (4) percent and to limit the term of the contract to five (5) years. The increase to four (4)
percent would create a level playing field between FEC and Texas Utilities since both companies would
then be using the same franchise rate.
Financial Considerations
For calendar years 1994 and 1995 the franchise fees received from FEC were $20,873 and $21,909
respectively. The new franchise rate should generate approximately $29,200 for a full calendar year
effective for calendar year 1996, which would be an increase of$7,300 per year.
Legal Considerations
Article X, Section 3 of the City Charter requires that this ordinance be read at two (2) separate
regular meetings of the City Council, and shall not be acted upon until thirty (30) days after the first
reading. Within fifteen (15) days following the first reading of the ordinance, a summary of the ordinance
shall be published one (1) time in a newspaper of general circulation in the City. Any ordinance granting,
renewing, extending, or amending a public service franchise shall not take effect until thirty (30) days after
the final adoption.
Staff Recommendations
This is the first public reading of the ordinance. At the second reading of the ordinance the Council
can take public comment and take the necessary action on the ordinance.

SERVICE CENTER PROJECT
Justifications for four service bays.
When staff designed the fleet maintenance area they were trying to create the optimum
work environment to accommodate the City's current and future fleet requirements.
Considerations given to this facility include:
+ adequate lighting;
+ good ventilation;
+ heating and cooling efficiency;
+ adequate storage of tools and equipment;
+ increased service bay area;
+ provides for holding bay while waiting for parts;
+ ability to service large vehicles.
The design phase of the service center required consideration for the need for additional
mechanic spaces. The single bay currently in use is not adequate for multiple vehicle
service or the ability of the mechanic to service our larger pieces of equipment such as the
Quint One, the Warrior or the backhoe inside the building. Future growth of the fleet and
the staff to maintain it will also necessitate use of the additional bays. An immediate and
specific benefit of the additional bays would be the ability to service a larger piece of
equipment in one drive-through set of bays and still be able to repair light duty trucks and
passenger cars in the remaining two work areas.
Consequences of the delay of two of the service bays.
The delay in construction of one set of drive-through bays (two bays)will prohibit the ability
of the mechanic to house and repair more than one vehicle at a time while a larger piece
of equipment is being serviced or while waiting for parts. This reduced versatility in the
service bay area negates much of the efficiency and productivity enhancement of the
Service Center design.

SERVICE CENTER PROJECT
Justifications for having a warehouse area included within the Service Center.
The City's outside auditors have brought to the Council's attention that inventories
need to be accurately priced and charged to the most appropriate accounts at year
end. To accomplish the auditor's recommendations you need the following:
1. An inventory needs to have a secured and limited access area.
2. Needs to have someone accountable for the inventory who has control of
access to that storage area.
3. There needs to be a computer or a good manual system to track the issue
and pricing of the inventory.
Absence of warehouse space at the Service Center would force Public Works to
maintain storage at the old facility for needed maintenance supplies and equipment.
The disadvantages are:
1. Added expense and delay of travel to old site to obtain supplies and
equipment.
2. Lack of control and security of inventory at a remote storage area.
3. Difficulties in receiving and securing new supply deliveries at remote
unmanned storage site.
4. Image problems caused by continued use of a facility which creates an
eyesore on a major thoroughfare into the City.
