The Citizen, Catherine McAnally from The Wylie News, Randall Gaston,
Dennis Kauffman, Bob Vincent from Texas Power & Light, Phil Roberts and

Bramlett from General Telephone Company and Harry Carroll .
Mayor Squires called the meeting to order and advised that a bus was
waiting to drive all interested parties to the on-site public hearing
scheduled for the Birmingham Trust Land. He asked Mayor Pro Tem Martin
to preside over the on-site hearing. The meeting was recessed-.
The meeting reconvened on-site at the Birmingham Trust Land. Mayor
Pro Tem pointed out the property line. He advised that Don Kreymer,
member of the Birmingham Trust Board, was present to answer any questions
relating to the property. Mr. Kreymer did state that the property was
being annexed for protection, and no zoning change would be requested
at this time. Mayor Pro Tem Martin recessed the hearing in order to
travel back to City Hall .
Tho meeting was called to order.
Mayor Pro Tem Martin verified to Mayor Squires that the on-site public
hearing had been held. There being no questions , Mayor Squires closed
the public hearing and called for a vote regarding the annexation.
Councilman Martin moved to annex the property as agriculture. Motion
was seconded by Councilwoman Dodd, all were in favor.
The accounts payable and City Council minutes dated January 11 , 1983,
January 19, 1983 and January 22, 1983 and Planning & Zoning Commission
minutes dated January 13, 1983 and January 27, 1983 along with Board
of Adjustment minutes dated January 13, 1983 were all approved on
motion made by Councilwoman Dodd, seconded by Councilman Martin. All
were in favor.
Annexation Hearing - 3.974 acres, E.C. Davidson Survey, Abstract 266.
The first annexation hearing on 3.974 acres of land out of the E.C.
Davidson Survey, Abstract 266 was held. Mayor advised that Planning &
Zoning Commission had recommended that the property be annexed. He
also advised that he had been assured from the owners that the cement
plant to be installed at this location would be a clean plant run in
accordance with State regulations.
The public hearing concerning annexation of this property was opened.
There were no comments either for or against the annexation; therefore,
the Mayor closed the public hearing and called for a vote. Councilman
Martin moved to approve the hearing and schedule the second on-site
public hearing. Motion was seconded by Councilwoman Allen with all
in favor.
The second on-site public hearing regarding the annexation of the
3.974 acres was scheduled for 6:00 p.m. on Monday, February 21, 1983.
The purchase of Fire Department rescue equipment and the hearing on
annexation of 7.038 acres of land were tabled until later in the
meeting.
Final Plat, Phase I , Kinsington Manor Estates. Mr. Don Kreymer pre-
sented the final plat for Phase I of Kinsington Manor Estates. Council
was advised that the final plat did meet all of the requirements of the
City. Councilman Martin moved to accept the final plat, seconded by
Councilwoman Allen. All were in favor.
Street Paving - Mardi Gras and Memorial . Mayor advised that prior
Council decision was that 75% participation was required in order for
the City to participate in the paving project for these streets. He
also stated that a determination should be made by Council whether or
not to continue discussions regarding this project without the required
75% response. City Manager advised that in order for the City to have
a binding contract with the residents , there would need to be 75%
voluntary participation. Without homeowner assistance, the only alter-
native left to the City would be to repair the street using seal coat.
Unless, of course, the City went into an involuntary street assess-
ment program. City Manager explained that this process is a rather
lengthy process and did not recommend this procedure. Councilman
Martin made a motion that proposed contracts be sent out to the
residents on Memorial Street, who had responded by 75%, and that Mardi
Gras Street be patched. Motion was seconded by Councilwoman Allen.
All were in favor.
Request for permit to build duplexes. Don Kreymer presented a site
plan for property located west of Trails Addition on an unpaved portion
of Second Street. He was requesting Council permission to construct
a duplex on this property prior to improvements to Second Street.
City Manager contended that this property would be considered a devel-
opment and should meet the requirements of the subdivision regulation.
Also, that the portion of Second Street in question is not an improved
street and should be improved by the developers. Mr. Kreymer insisted
that the City should pay one-third of the cost to improve the street.
The major issue at hand was whether or not the section of Second Street
in question should be improved by the developers or if the City had a
one-third obligation. The Council was of the opinion that Mr. George
had committed to develop Second Street to Stone Street as part of his
development.
Mr. Kreymer advised he has willing to take the risk seeing that the
City may not have any obligation regarding the improvements to Second
Street, if the City would agree to issue a building permit for the
construction of the duplex. Mr. Kreymer acknowledged that he would
not be able to occupy the duplex without a Certificate of Occupancy.
City Manager advised Council he felt Mr. Kreymer was asking Council to
t
issue a building permit on a house to be built on unplatted piece of
land on an unimproved street that had no utilities. Mr. Kreymer argued
* that the request was not for a development but for one permit for one
duplex.
The decision was tabled until the February 21st Council meeting in order
for answers to questions regarding Second Street liability to be deter-
mined.
Order for City Officers' Election. The Mayor ordered the City Officers'
Election to be held April 2, 1983 at the Methodist Church Annex Building
with Albert Masters acting as Presiding Judge for the election. The
City Secretary was appointed Clerk for absentee voting which will be
held from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. beginning on the 20th day and continu-
ing through the 4th day preceding the date of the election.
Wylie Industrial Development Corporation. The City Manager explained
that the Wylie Industrial Development Corporation could issue industrial
revenue bonds which are tax exempt. The money from the sale of the
bonds could be used to build buildings or install equipment in factories.
Councilman Martin made a motion to appoint Cecil Hackler, Tim Hemingway,
and Albert Masters as the Board of Directors for the Corporation. The
Directors will serve three year staggered terms.
Zoning Board of Adjustment. The following appointments were made to •
the Zoning Board of Adjustment:
Regular Members: Alternate Members:
Nancy Conkle 2 years Art Harris 1 year
Richard Hampton 2 years Bill James 2 years
Anna Starnes 1 year
Kent Crane 1 year
William LeCocq 1 year
All members of the Board will attend any meetings called; however, only
the regular members will vote. Since 4/5's vote is required on any
zoning variance, in the event a regular member cannot attend, an alter-
nate member would be required to vote. Councilman Martin moved to
accept these appointments to become effective March 1, 1983. Motion
was seconded by Councilman Simmons with all in favor.
Certificate of Occupancy Procedure. Council was requested to consider
and approve a procedure under which an application for a certificate
of occupancy would be filed, after which various public safety inspec-
tions would be made. Corrections required to achieve code compliance
would be made and the certificate of occupancy would be issued. City
Manager recommended no decision be made at this meeting and requested
further discussion at a future meeting.
The Fire Marshal felt it was necessary to inspect rental property each
time there was a change of tenants. Also commercial property should
be inspected with each change in tenant, or change in use.
The Mayor felt that since the City was in the process of changing over
to the Uniform Building Code, a decision should be delayed until a
copy of the Uniform Building Code had been reviewed. It was agreed
that the Fire Marshal should be involved in plat review of subdivision
developments.
Annexation of 7.038 acres, W. D. Penny Survey, Ab. 696. A public
hearing was held on a request to annex 7.038 acres of land out of
the W. D. Penny Survey, Abstract 696. The proposed use of the pro-
perty was single family residence on the front three acres and
industrial for storage on the back four acres. There were no comments
regarding the annexation; therefore, the public hearing was closed
and a vote was called. Councilwoman Dodd moved to approve the annexa-
tion and set a date for the second on-site hearing. Motion was seconded
by Councilman Simmons. Motion carried with all in favor. Mayor advised
that the second public hearing would be held at 6:30 p.m. on Monday,
February 21, 1983 on-site of the property.
Rescue Equipment. Three bids had been received for the purchase of
Fire Department rescue equipment. The bids were as follows:
Ferrara Fire Fighting Equipment - $7,999.00; Texas Fire Fighters &
Safety Equipment - $9,461. 15; Riggs First Line Equipment - $7,495.00.
Fire Chief Allen recommended bid placed by Riggs Equipment because
it did meet the Fire Department's specifications. Councilwoman Dodd
made a motion to accept the bid from Riggs First Line. Motion was
seconded by Councilman Martin. Motion carried with all in favor.
City Manager recommended that the City's share of the equipment be
paid out of General Revenue Sharing funds.
Departmental reports were received.
Mayor advised that Commissioner Hoagland was working on a project to
obtain Commissioner's Court ordinance making power for everything
outside the cities. They specifically wished to be able to control
the problems at Lake Lavon. There were concerns expressed by
Council regarding the County's ability to handle additional responsi-
bility. The Mayor agreed to obtain additional information from
Commissioner Hoagland regarding the area of powers he is seeking.
It was the concensus of the Council to place an order for City logo
decals for the City vehicles. The total purchase price of the decals
is $854.50.
City Manager advised that Mr. I. W. Santry, P. E. would be performing
engineering services for the City on a trial basis. If his services
are satisfactory, a contract could be entered into between the City
and Mr. Santry whereby he would charge only one time for his services
versus the 2. 5 time charge presently used by Hogan and Rasor, who also
commended this arrangement.
Susan Allen, representing the Ladies Auxiliary of the Volunteer Fire
Department, presented a petition to the Mayor requesting a referendum
to legalize bingo be included on the April 2 ballot. The petition
was handed to the City Secretary for verification of signatures.
Provided the signatures are valid, the referendum will be included
on the April 2nd ballot.
Councilman Simmons made a motion to recess into Executive Session,
in accordance with Article 6252-17, subsection 2G, to discuss per-
sonnel matters. Councilwoman Dodd seconded the motion, with all in
favor.
The meeting was called back into open session. There being no further
business, the meeting was adjourned.

by Councilman Eavenson. Motion carried unanimously.

the next afternoon (February 22). The Mayor's response to the charges
was a request that the charges be made in writing and he requested a
public hearing after proper notice. He was also concerned that his
rights as an officer of the City had been violated due to prior lack

TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY
COUNCIL FOR THE CITY OF WYLIE, TEXAS
D. Kreymer, Inc. respectfully requests for a
variance to construct a model home in the
Kensington Manor Development; similar to the
variance granted to Mr. Joe George; so that the
model will be completed about the same time as
the streets, alleys, and utilities are completed.
This will enable D. Kreymer, Inc. a location for
sales and marketing efforts to be done on site.
The model will be built on the third lot from
F.M. 2514 so that there would not be a concentration
of vehicles parked along this road.
We sincerely appreciate your consideration for this
variance. If you have any questions, please contact
me.

February 9, 1983
Dear Mayor:
' General Telephone Company of the Southwest has filed an application with the
Public Utility Commission of Texas requesting rate adjustments in the state.
The following information will outline our needs for the new revenues. An
overview of the proposed changes is attached.
We are requesting $85 million in new revenues, about half of which is the
result of changes dictated by the Federal Communications Commission as it
deregulates certain areas of the industry and emphasizes its policy of
restructuring rates toward cost-based pricing.
In addition to the impact of deregulation and the required restructuring of
prices as mandated, we are filing to improve (1) earnings which have fallen to
9.5 percent from the 12.5.percent authorized last year, which we never
obtained; and (2) interest coverage, which is critical to the company's bond
rating among financial agencies, that has fallen to 2.68 and poses the danger
of our bond rating falling to BBB if not improved.
All of these influences require us to either raise rates or cut back our
service improvement and modernization programs. As distasteful as raising
rates is, we prefer this rather than reducing these important programs.
We are not seeking new revenues without first having looked at every possible
way of curtailing expenses. Over the 12 months covered in our filing, we have
reduced our work force requirements the equivalent of approximately
700 employees for total company. All areas of controllable expenses are
monitored closely by senior management.
However, these efforts are not enough. Our modernization programs and the
outside forces of deregulation, inflation, competition, low earnings and the
continuing need for financing give us no alternative but to ask for higher
rates if we are going to give customers the quality of service they want.
During the same period, we spent over $321 million in Texas to meet our
commitments to improve service and to modernize. Our modernization program is
in high gear and we want to continue this momentum. But to do so, it is
essential that we receive new revenues.

Page 2
Inflation has not been as dramatic an influence this past year, but it
continues to drive prices up. Our cost to build telephone plant continues to
be higher than in the past. For example, in September 1981, our investment
was $1,651 per customer line. For the 12 months ending Sept. 30, 1982, we
added 33,385 customer lines at a cost of $7,918 per line. This has the effect
of raising our investment $199 per line from the level that was used in
setting the rates we now have in effect.
To obtain the financing required during the rate case period, we financed
$150 million in•common stock, preferred stock and bonds. As we continue our
modernization program, we will require a tremendous amount of additional
external financing, making our bond rating extremely critical to our customers
as well as to us. The rating agencies look very closely at our interest
coverage, and we do not look good in this important category. Our net income
needs to be at least three times our fixed charges or interest expense.
During the test period, our interest coverage fell from 2.76 to 2.68 and that
trend is still downward.
Our present bond rating is A-. Without improvement, we are facing the strong
possibility that it will be dropped to BBB. A reduction in our bond rating
would affect our customers through higher interest rates charged a BBB
company; charges that are eventually paid by the customer. We also face a
possible slowdown of our modernization program since some investors are
prohibited from purchasing bonds issued by companies with less than an
A rating.
Modernization has a substantial effect on the price of service since it is
tied to recovering the capital already invested in the equipment in service.
Like other businesses, we recover that capital through depreciation although
the FCC rules are somewhat different from other businesses.
Depreciation rates are set by the FCC every three years. 1983 is the year
they will be set for General Telephone. If it were not for modernization,
capital recovery and expensing of station connections, our request would be
much lower. About 45 percent of our request is for capital recovery and
station connection expensing.
Of course, we are pleased with the modernization and service improvement
progress we made during 1982. We see positive evidence of the programs
implemented and are meeting all of the commission service standards. This is
not to say we do not have several areas that still give us concern and require
that we continue our efforts, but we have identified these problem areas and
have corrective programs in action.
During 1982, we replaced 10 offices with electronic switching systems. In
1983, we will add 2 offices in high growth areas and replace 13 others, all
with the modern electronic switching systems. By the end of 1984, 19 other
offices will handle customer calls through these sophisticated systems,
meaning that almost 50 percent of our customers will be served by electronic
switching centers.

Page 3
As I said earlier, our only alternative to asking for new revenues is to cut
back expenditures, which would naturally slow our modernization program. As
you know, we went through that alternative in 1978-79 and both our customers
and the company shared the grief of that mistake, a mistake we do not want
repeated.
Our policy is to provide whatever service is in the public interest as long as
we are properly compensated.
One such offering included in this filing, to be offered initially in only our
metropolitan areas, is optional measured service. This service is being
proposed for the Dallas and Houston area cities we serve due to the large
calling scopes, large variances in customer usage, available technology due to
recent growth in these areas, and indications that there is a market for the
service. The service would be expanded to other locations as technology
allows and the market emerges. Under the proposal, customers would be offered
access to the local and long-distance network and could receive unlimited
in-coming calls for a lower monthly access fee. Additional charges would be
based on usage of the local network to make local calls.
We believe such a service would allow customers to better control the amount
of their monthly telephone bill because their total monthly bill would be
based on how much they use the service. For those who need telephone service
for security purposes and those who do not use the phone very much, this
service would make it possible for them to reduce and control their bill.
I hope this overview of our needs may answer some of your questions and
summarize for you why we so urgently need increased revenues.
A copy of our Statement of Intent to Change Rates and a summary of our
proposed adjustments are attached for your information. Copies of the revised
tariff sheets reflecting the adjustments have been filed with the Commission,
and are also available for public inspection at each of our Business Offices,
Phone Marts, and Local Service Offices.
If you have any questions, I hope you will contact your general manager,
Jo Anne Reed, at 214-495-3525, or me.
Yours truly,

SUBJECT: House Bill 813
DATE: February 25, 1983
For your information House Bill 813 has been filed at the 68th State
Legislature by Representative Mark W. Stiles from Beaumont. The bill,
if enacted, would allow the voters in each county to vote for having the
County Commissioners Court to become the Board of Directors for the
Appraisal District. If the County Commissioners Court performs the
functions of the Board of Directors then the Assessor for the county will
become the Chief Appraiser of the Appraisal District. The county tax
assessor-collector would also assume the function of the tax assessor and
collector for every taxing jurisdiction in the county and combine all
appraisal, assessing and collections into the county tax office. It sets a
budget limit of 1% of total tax levy for the appraisal cost and 1% for
assessment and collection. Attached is summary of House Bill 813.

We are all aware of the Central Appraisal Districts now
in operation in most of the Texas counties. In some cases,
the. C.A.D. ' s have been effective and have performed admirably
under adverse conditions. In other cases, they have failed
miserably and have added more worries to the plight of the
Texas taxpayer.
With these factors in mind, not five minutes ago I filed
HB .3(3 . Basically the bill addresses the following:
1) Allows 10% of the registered voters to call for an
election through Commissioners Court which decides
whether that county wants to continue under the
C.A.D. or have those duties shifted to the tax
assessor-collectors.
2) Allows the tax assessor-collector to be chief appraiser
or he may name someone to that position.
3) Combines assessing, collecting, and appraising under
tax assessor-collector for all jurisdictions when tax
assessor takes over duties of C.A.D.
4) Puts a budget limit of 1% of total tax levy from all
county jurisdictions on cost of appraising.
5) If tax assessor-collector takes over duties of C.A.D. ,
this bill puts a budget cap of 1% of total tax levy
from all county jurisdictions to cover cost 'of collection
and assessment.
6) If tax assessor-collector takes over duties of C.A.D. ,
this bill does away with C.A.D. board, and has review
board named by County Judge and Commissioners.
I want to caution everyone that this bill will not necessarily
lower taxes; it will not increase them. It will streamline the
operation of tax equalization and make the duties of appraising
and collection an area where there is responsiveness to the tax-
payer.

oncica e Lkka UUy Competitive With Asphalt
- �1 A F irStlCtst Basis?
Absolutely! Positively! '
i
Bids were received during April in Stuttgart and Fayetteville on two street paving projects that totaled more than 20,000 square yards.
The low bids received on these two projects have proved conclusively that concrete is competitive with asphalt on a first-cost basis!
Bidding on street paving in these two Arkansas communities will never be the same. I 1
When the communities of Stuttgart and Fayetteville requested proposals for the paving of streets they offered contras ors a choice--bid
the job with either concrete or asphalt. j i 1
Concrete Beats Asphalt
Mickey Pierce,of Gravis Concrete Co.in Stuttgart,reports that when the city of Stuttgart opened bids on approximately 10,855 square
yards of paving on April 20 they were pleasantly surprised.The low bid for concrete paving,submitted by Weaver-Bailey Contractors,Inc.
of North Little Rock, was 6.3% below the low bid for asphalt. . , , I
Generally speaking,the streets will be 25-ft.wide back to back of curb and gutter.About 85%of the project will be built with,an integral curb
while the remaining 15%will have no curb. The longitudinal (centerline)joints will be placed at 12.5-ft. with a formed keyed groove. The
transverse joint spacing will be set up on a 15-ft. system. Concrete placing and finishing will be performed with a slipform paver.
1
Fayetteville
y ille Votes To Accept Concrete Alternate
Jim Hall,of Tune Concrete Products,Inc.of Fayetteville,was on hand for an April 26 bid opening involving approximately 9,472 square
yards of street paving for a Fayetteville industrial park.The low bid for concrete paving was a mere$518(50 per square1yard)higher than
the low asphalt bid.On May 4,the Fayetteville city council voted unanimously to accept the concrete bid as recommended by the street
commission. f I
A review of the hid documents reveals Fayetteville's logical and straight forward approach to comparing pavement prices on an equal
load-carrying capacity basis.The bid documents state, "The thicknesses of materials in both construction methods (concrete and
asphalt) were determined by using the `AASHTO Interim Guide for Design of Pavement Structures' and `Criteria used by the
Arkansas Department of Highways and Transportation' and are considered equivalent in load-carrying capacity."
The street will be 31-ft.wide back to back of curb and gutter with longitudinal (centerline)joints spaced at 15.5-ft.with a formed keyed
groove.The transverse joint spacing will be at 15-ft.intervals.The project will be built by Jerry D.Sweetser Inc.of Fayetteville who will utilize
slipform paving equipment supplied by Weaver-Bailey Contractors, Inc. of North Little Rock
s ampetitive Cost + Energy Efficiency
It has long been proven that concrete is the energy efficient paving material. By utilizing concrete paving on the Stuttgart and
Fayetteville projects instead of asphalt,61,734 gallons of oil were saved.This quantity of oil converts into 73,493 gallons of gasoline that
can be used to fuel automobiles instead of building the pavement that automobiles will travel on.
For the purpose of perspective,73,493 gallons of gasoline would enable an automobile that gets 22 m.p.g.to travel from West Memphis to
Fort Smith 5,787 times.
In this day and time of diminishing oil supplies,it certainly makes sense to pave our roads and streets with concrete instead of scarce
oil. 0

February 9, 1983
Dear Mayor:
General Telephone Company of the Southwest has filed an application with the
Public Utility Commission of Texas requesting rate adjustments in the state.
The following information will outline our needs for the new revenues. An
overview of the proposed changes is attached.
We are requesting $85 million in new revenues, about half of which is the
result of changes dictated by the Federal Communications Commission as it
deregulates certain areas of the industry and emphasizes its policy of
restructuring rates toward cost-based pricing.
In addition to the impact of deregulation and the required restructuring of
prices as mandated, we are filing to improve (1) earnings which have fallen to
9.5 percent from the 12.5.percent authorized last year, which we never
obtained; and (2) interest coverage, which is critical to the company's bond
rating among financial agencies, that has fallen to 2.68 and poses the danger
of our bond rating falling to BBB if not improved.
All of these influences require us to either raise rates or cut back our
service improvement and modernization programs. As distasteful as raising
rates is, we prefer this rather than reducing these important programs.
We are not seeking new revenues without first having looked at every possible
way of curtailing expenses. Over the 12 months covered in our filing, we have
reduced our work force requirements the equivalent of approximately
700 employees for total company. All areas of controllable expenses are
monitored closely by senior management.
However, these efforts are not enough. Our modernization programs and the
outside forces of deregulation, inflation, competition, low earnings and the
continuing need for financing give us no alternative but to ask for higher
rates if we are going to give customers the quality of service they want.
During the same period, we spent over $321 million in Texas to meet our
commitments to improve service and to modernize. Our modernization program is
in high gear and we want to continue this momentum. But to do so, it is
essential that we receive new revenues.
-more-
Page 2
Inflation has not been as dramatic an influence this past year, but it
continues to drive prices up. Our cost to build telephone plant continues to
be higher than in the past. For example, in September 1981, our investment
was $1,651 per customer line. For the 12 months ending Sept. 30, 1982, we
added 33,385 customer lines at a cost of $7,918 per line. This has the effect
of raising our investment $199 per line from the level that was used in
setting the rates we now have in effect.
To obtain the financing required during the rate case period, we financed
$150 million in•common stock, preferred stock and bonds. As we continue our
modernization program, we will require a tremendous amount of additional
external financing, making our bond rating extremely critical to our customers
as well as to us. The rating agencies look very closely at our interest
coverage, and we do not look good in this important category. Our net income
needs to be at least three times our fixed charges or interest expense.
During the test period, our interest coverage fell from 2.76 to 2.68 and that
trend is still downward.
Our present bond rating is A-. Without improvement, we are facing the strong
possibility that it will be dropped to BBB. A reduction in our bond rating
would affect our customers through higher interest rates charged a BBB
company; charges that are eventually paid by the customer. We also face a
possible slowdown of our modernization program since some investors are
prohibited from purchasing bonds issued by companies with less than an
A rating.
Modernization has a substantial effect on the price of service since it is
tied to recovering the capital already invested in the equipment in service.
Like other businesses, we recover that capital through depreciation although
the FCC rules are somewhat different from other businesses.
Depreciation rates are set by the FCC every three years. 1983 is the year
they will be set for General Telephone. If it were not for modernization,
capital recovery and expensing of station connections, our request would be
much lower. About 45 percent of our request is for capital recovery and
station connection expensing.
Of course, we are pleased with the modernization and service improvement
progress we made during 1982. We see positive evidence of the programs
implemented and are meeting all of the commission service standards. This is
not to say we do not have several areas that still give us concern and require
that we continue our efforts, but we have identified these problem areas and
have corrective programs in action.
During 1982, we replaced 10 offices with electronic switching systems. In
1983, we will add 2 offices in high growth areas and replace 13 others, all
with the modern electronic switching systems. By the end of 1984, 19 other
offices will handle customer calls through these sophisticated systems,
meaning that almost 50 percent of our customers will be served by electronic
switching centers.
-more-
Page 3
As I said earlier, our only alternative to asking for new revenues is to cut
back expenditures, which would naturally slow our modernization program. As
you know, we went through that alternative in 1978-79 and both our customers
and the company shared the grief of that mistake, a mistake we do not want
repeated.
Our policy is to provide whatever service is in the public interest as long as
we are properly compensated.
One such offering included in this filing, to be offered initially in only our
metropolitan areas, is optional measured service. This service is being
proposed for the Dallas and Houston area cities we serve due to the large
calling scopes, large variances in customer usage, available technology due to
recent growth in these areas, and indications that there is a market for the
service. The service would be expanded to other locations as technology
allows and the market emerges. Under the proposal, customers would be offered
access to the local and long-distance network and could receive unlimited
in-coming calls for a lower monthly access fee. Additional charges would be
based on usage of the local network to make local calls.
We believe such a service would allow customers to better control the amount
of their monthly telephone bill because their total monthly bill would be
based on how much they use the service. For those who need telephone service
for security purposes and those who do not use the phone very much, this
service would make it possible for them to reduce and control their bill.
I hope this overview of our needs may answer some of your questions and
summarize for you why we so urgently need increased revenues.
A copy of our Statement of Intent to Change Rates and a summary of our
proposed adjustments are attached for your information. Copies of the revised
tariff sheets reflecting the adjustments have been filed with the Commission,
and are also available for public inspection at each of our Business Offices,
Phone Marts, and Local Service Offices.
If you have any questions, I hope you will contact your general manager,
Jo Anne Reed, at 214-495-3525, or me.
Yours truly,

AGENDA BRIEF
MARCH 8, 1983
Item No. 3 deals with the request to rezone 7.038 acres from agriculture to
SF-2 and industrial . The property owner wishes to build a residence on the
front three (3) acres of this land and to use the west or rear four (4) acres
as an equipment storage yard for his construction equipment. There has been
no opposition either to the annexation or to the rezoning.
Item No. 4 involves a request to rezone 3.974 acres from agriculture to
industrial . This property is currently being used for the operation of a
concrete batch mix plant. There has been no opposition either to the request
for annexation or the request for rezoning. Most of the comments have been
based on the advantages of having a new industry for Wylie.
Item No. 5 involves a request for approval of Phase II of the final plat of
Kinsington Manor Estates. For economic reasons, the developers have requested
approval of this development in five phases. The final plat and construction
plans for the entire subdivision have previously been approved, so this is a
formality.
Item No. 6 involves a request for variance to construct a model home in the
Kinsington Manor Estates. The developers feel that early construction of
this model home will assist in the sale of lots in the entire subdivision.
The home would not be occupied as a residencq,but as a sales office for the
subdivision.
Item No. 7 involves a discussion between the City Council and General Telephone
concerning a request for a rate increase pending before the Public Utility
Commission in Austin. Specifically, representatives of General Telephone will
explain how the rate schedule,if approved, would affect the telephone rates
within the City of Wylie.
Item No. 8 involves a matter of public safety on the new FM 544 running west
from Highway 78. In cooperation with the Texas Department of Highways and
Public Transportation, the Council is requested to adopt the speed limit ordinance
toapprove public safety along that stretch of highway. The speed limits would be
40 mph for a distance of approximately 1 ,000 feet west of Highway 78, after
which it would increase to 55 mph.
Item No. 9 was discussed at an earlier meeting. The developer has requested
a permit to build duplexes on the west side of South Second Street prior to
making street improvements. The City administration takes the position that
this acreage should be treated as new development and should be developed in
accordance with the subdivision regulation. In addition, the Zoning Ordinance
requires approval of a site plan on developed streets, complete with public
utilities. South Second Street has not been dedicated nor developed in this
locality.

Agenda Brief
March 8, 1983
Item No. 10 involves a recommendation from the Wylie Electrical Board to
adopt revised Electrical Permit Fees, more in line with neighboring cities.
Item No. 11 involves a request by the City administration for authority to
advertise for bids to connect the recently acquired emergency generator to
the Police Department. The emergency generator was a gift to the City from
the Texas Surplus Property Agency, and the only cost to the City to date is
a $150.00 handling fee. When connected, the emergency generator will assure
that the Police and Fire Department activities can go forward incase of a
power blackout.
Items No. 12 & 13 involve Council approval of recommended appointments of:
A. An Acting Director of Public Works
B. A temporary or Acting City Secretary.

DATE: March 4, 1983
TO: City Council
FROM: City Manager
SUBJECT: Manager's Newsletter
The following candidates have filed for election to three (3) council
positions for the City Election to take place on April 2:
Cleo Adams John Akin Randall Gaston Don Hughes
Dennis Kauffman Larry Prater Mike Rawlings &
Cal Westerhoff
Please give us instruction at the Tuesday night meeting as to your wishes
with regard to severance pay upon the departure of the City Secretary.
Mrs. Sarah Connelly has agreed to serve temporarily as Acting City Secretary,
if you so desire. We have agreed to pay her expenses to attend the
election officers training school to be held Monday, March 7th in Arlington,
in anticipation of your approval .
Included in your packet is a resume from Joe Cerretani , who is formerly
the code enforcement officer for the City of Sulphur Springs. Joe and I
worked together when I was City Manager there, and his work was indeed
satisfactory. He has no experience as a Director of Public Works ,other
than that gained in Sulphur Springs when he served as Acting Director
of Public Works during times when the City was without a permanent
director. We suggest you authorize his retainer on a temporary basis ,
to give us a chance to determine if he is qualified to serve as Director
of Public Works here in Wylie. After a month or so has passed, the Council
can advise me if you are satisfied with his performance, at which time we
can begin his ninety day (90) probationary status with the goal of making
him permanent Director of Public Works three months later. I would like
authority from the Council to offer him $17,600. per year during his
temporary service.
The plumbing job is essentially finished at the Wylie Community Park
Concession stand. Mr. Minihan has inspected it and is well pleased.
Chores remaining to be done there include the installation of a water
fountain near the Concession Stand and a water fountain at Akin Pavilion.
In addition, we need to install the permanent sign for the Park and the
concrete head walls or end walls for the entrance bridge to the Park. W.A.
Allen is in the process of preparing a materials list for that work, which
will consist principally of plywood, 2X4 framing material , enforcing steel ,
tie wires, and concrete. We will take bids from various vendors in the
area on the materials to be used.
We would prefer to do this work during the hot, dry summertime, but have
no choice, since the road way continues to erode during every heavy rain.
We anticipate receiving a reimbursement check from the Texas Parks & Wild
Life Department within the next few days for work previously done.
Mr. Ed Franklin sprayed roundup on the weeds around the baseball fields and
has begun his spring campaign to control fire ants.

The City tractor which operates the large weed cutter has a blown
engine. The tractor is not worth repairing, so we are negotiating with
Texas Surplus Property agency in Forth Worth for a farm-type tractor
to use for weed mowing this year. Meanwhile, we will appreciate the
Council giving us advice as to your wishes for achieving vacant lot weed
mowing, together with mowing the closed land fill site and public parks.
Do you wish us to invite sealed bids or do you wish us to line up several
mowing machine contractors and pay them a set hourly rate. This is what
we did last year and we paid $16.00 per hour for mowing done with tractors
with 30hp and 5 ft. diameter shredders or greater
Utility works worked in Oak Street east of Fifth to prepare the sanitary
sewer connections for the Village East Apartment complex. Other workers
installed new water services on Oak Street which will be served by the
new 6" water main. Temporary repairs have been made to paving cuts and
drive ways along the job. We have an open hole at the intersection of
Fifth Street and Oak Street where a 2" water connection must be made, as
soon as we can receive delivery on a particular part.
The Spring Rabies Clinic will be held by Dr. Rick Garner at the Fire
Station from 9 AM until 1 PM on Saturday April 16th.
Mr. Bill Kreymer is out of the hospital and back on his construction
inspector's job.
Melvin St. John requested to be placed on the agenda for the March 8th
meeting concerning the rezoning decision on his Mobile Home Park.
I told him that my understanding was that the City Council has asked the
Planning and Zoning Commission to reconsider their vote and to give the
City Council a decision in the matter. Mr. St. John said his attorney
advised him that the City Council had not officially returned the matter
to the Planning and Zoning Commission.
On a routine inspection of the santiary land fill site, we discovered a large
herd of cattle grazing. We counted over twenty (20) head of cattle, after
which we came back to City Hall and ask the Wylie Cowboys from the Police
Department to go out and return the cattle to their proper pasture.
Mrs. Carolyn Jones, our payroll clerk, has suggested that we revise our
pay period, which now runs from Monday thru Friday to Friday thru the
following Thursday. The reason is that some of the laboring employees do
not work all day on Friday, sometime escaping detection and winding up
with City pay without performing any services. If the pay periods are
rearranged to run from Friday morning through the following Thursday
evening, we can make the pay checks cover the entire weeks work.
With reference to item no. 9 on the agenda, we discussed the fact situation
with Mr. J. T. Dunkin to determine if our understanding of the Zoning
Ordinance is compatible with his intention during the writing of the
ordinance. Mr. Dunkin stated to me that if there has not been a street
dedication at least 50 ft. in width (and there has not) that the property
should be treated as new development and should be given the same process
as any other development. Sue Webster advised the City Secretary that

the only dedication she has been able to undercover was a 30ft wide trail
through there many many years ago. There is no record of every having been
any improvements to South Second Street in that section. Therefore, we
recommend that the Council not allow any variance from the Zoning Ordinance
nor from the subdivision regulation. But that you require the developer to
submit a site plan if he wants a planned development or a preliminary plat
if he intends to subdivide the land and develope it as any other subdivision.

concrete batch plant. Mr. Phil Roberts was present to speak in favor of
the rezoning, and there was no opposition. It was pointed out there was
no opposition neither to the annexation or to the request for rezoning.
The hearing was closed. John Seeley moved, with a second by Ken Mauk,
to suspend the zoning check list, in view of the fact that there is no
opposition and that this request is in line with the comprehensive
community plan. The vote was unanimous.

Next, the Commission considered the request for final plat, Phase II ,
Kinsington Manor Estates. Mr. Don Kreymer requested approval of phases
II , III , IV, and V of Kinsington Manor Estates, stating that the phases
were there for economic reasons only, and that all the engineering work
for the final plat for the entire subdivision had been completed. He
was advised that the Council might not wish to approve the remaining four
phases in one meeting, to which he agreed. He stated that such a condition
would allow him to come to the City Council a month or so prior to the time
he was ready to develop a succeeding phase or installment and would be no
problem as to timing. He wanted to avoid unnecessary delays in plat approval
and acceptance. After some discussion Bryant Barry moved, with a second by
Ken Mauk to accept the final plat for the remaining four sections and to
recommend that the Council approve the balance of the subdivision. Motion
carried unanimously.
