CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
September 22, 1983
7:00 P.M.
The Wylie City Council met in a called session at 7:00 P.M. on Thursday,
September 22, 1983 at Wylie Elementary School . Mayor Robert Squires, Pre-
sided. A quorum was present and notice of the meeting had been posted for
the time and manner required by law. Those present were Mayor Squires, Mayor
Pro Tem Akin, Councilman William Martin, Cleo Adams, Don Hughes, Percy Simmons,
I. W. Santry, City Secretary Carolyn Jones, Melvin St. John and two represent-
atives of the Wylie News.
Mayor Squires stated the purpose of this meeting was to conduct a public
hearing on 1983 Tax rate. The tax rate and budget are in recommendation
form and there has been no action taken on either as of this date. There
will be another public hearing on September 29, 1983 at 7:00 P.M. at which.
time Council will take action on the ,tax rate and budget.
Mayor Squires opened the meeting to the public and gave a brief backgroung
for the tax rate. The reason the tax rate has been recommended for increase
is due to the General Fund feeding the Utility Fund. The biggest drain on the
financial end of the City is from the water/sewer rates from North Texas
Municipal Water District. For the past three years NTMWD has increased
water/sewer rates to the City but the City has not passed this increase on
to`.the citizens. Therefore the City has absorbed a large sum of expenses
each year. The Council is trying to even out the water/sewer problem by
increasing both taxes and utility rates. Mayor presented charts showing in
1982 there was a 20% increase to the City from NTMWD. In 1983, 13.7% increase
and in 1984, proposed increase of 19.8%.
It has just been during the past few monthes that the Council has been able
to see the loss to the City due to the increased rates from NTMWD.
The question was asked why were these increases not passed on the the Citizens?
The only reason the Council can give is that the Council was not aware of the
increase from NTMWD to the City until this years work on the 83-84 budget
had begun.
Randal Gaston wanted to know how many years it will take to get the Utility
fund out of the loss factor. Mayor Squires said probably two (2) to three
(3) years. In this years budget there are items to help on preventive maint-
enance. Over all this should help some but it will still take some time.
Mayor said the City did not get this way over night therefore it could not be
corrected in one years time.
The 83-84 Budget calls for 7.8% increase in the tax rate which brings the
tax rate up to 49¢. Question was asked about all the new growth in Wylie.
Mayor responded that most of the growth will only show as unimproved lots
for this year. The tax rolls are valued as of January 1 of each year. Next
year the tax roll should show the growth Wylie has been experiencing. Mayor
Squires closed the public hearing and reminded everyone that the second public
hearing would be September 29, 1983 at 7:00 P.M. at the Wylie Elementary 'School .

Public Hearing
September 29, 1983
7:00 P.M.
The Wylie City Council met in a called session at 7:00 P.M. on Thursday,
September 29, 1983 at the Wylie Elementary School . Mayor Squires presided.
A quorum was present and notice of the meeting had been posted for the time
and manner required by law. Those in attendance were Mayor Squires, Mayor
Pro Tem Akin, Councilmen Cleo Adams, Don Hughes, Percy Simmons, William Martin,
I. W. Santry, City Secretary Carolyn Jones, two representatives from the Wylie
News, Tim Hemingway, Don Kreymer, Raymond Cooper, Eugene Daffin.
Mayor Squires called the meeting to order and stated this was a public hearing
for the tax rate, 83-84 Budget, Fee Ordinance and General Revenue Sharing.
Major concern to the City is the increases in water, sewer and refuse. Primary
cause of this increase is due to the loss in Utility revenues. This coming
year $90,000 will have to be transferred from General Fund to Utility Fund
in order to meet the needs for the 83-84 year.
In setting the new fee schedule, I. W. Santry talked with Allen, McKinney,
Richardson and Plano prior to setting these fees. Don Kreymer says the City
is putting a burden on the developers. Tim Hemingway wanted to know if there
would be better service after going up on all the rates. Raymond Cooper wanted
to know if the City was going to contract out the refuse.
Mayor Squires told Tim Hemingway that the City hoped to give better services.
In the 83-84 Budget there has been some equipment added in order to better
serve the City. Mayor told Raymond Cooper that it was in the planning stage
to contract out the refuse. If the City stays in the refuse business , there
is a need for new trucks and the City is not in a position to purchase two
new trucks. Mayor also stated that a contract had not been awarded as of yet.
It was also pointed out that rates have not been reviewed since the late sixties.
The City of Wylie is behind in updating their fees.
One area in the fee ordinance section 3- C where it charges the Developers a
2% fee over the estimated cost of concrete pavement for test and inspections.
Raymond Cooper, Don Kreymer and Tim Hemingway are very much against this
section.
Councilman Martin said the engineer has researched these figures and is con-
fident that the figures are correct. Councilman Martin also said the City
has to make a start somewhere in updating the fees. The tax payers have been
paying up front on all cost and this is why the Council is trying to get the
cost where they should be.
Mayor Squires said to go with the 2% and review in one year and adjust this
cost then.
Mayor Squires stated that this budget is a bare bone budget. The City has
no reserve funds left due to the City absorbing the increase and not passing
these increases on to the citizens.
1c9
Motion was made by Councilman Hughes to adopt the ordinance for the Revised
82-83 Budget. Seconded by Councilman Martin. All in favor.
Motion was made by Councilman Hughes to adopt the ordinance for the proposed
83-84 Budget. Seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Akin. All in favor.
Motion was made by Councilman Martin to adopt the proposed budget for General
Revenu Sharing Grant. Seconded by Councilman Simmons. All in favor.
Motion was made by Councilman Simmons to adopt an ordinance setting the 1983
tax rate at forty-nine cents (.49) per $100.00 valuation. Seconded by Mayor
Pro Tem Akin. Four in favor. One against (Councilman Adams) .
Motion made by Councilman Hughes to adopt the Fee Ordinance with a footnote
added to section 3j that the individual has the option to do their own work
and the City only inspect. Seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Akin. Four in favor.
One against (Councilman Simmons).

September 20, 1983
7:00 P.M.
The Wylie Park and Recreation Board met at 7:00 P.M. on September 20, 1983
in the Council Chambers at City Hall . There was a quorum present. Those
present were Chairman Pat Minihan, Retha Tibbals, Stuart Wallace, Lowell
Brewster, Richard Parker, Mayor Squires, Mayor Pro Ten Akin, Councilmen
Don Hughes, William Martin, Cleo Adams , and Percy Simmons , and City Secretary
Carolyn Jones. Those absent were: Don Whitt, Ken Swayze, Al Draper, and
Duane Helmberger. At the last meeting of the Park Board, Chairman Minihan
said Phase II of the Community Park was discussed. In Phase II there is
a need for picnic tables with covers in the south end of the Park. Chairman
Minihan would like to get plans in the making for this type of shelters,
so the Park Board can go out to individuals and get these shelters donated
to the Park. There is a need for plans and price in order to start the plans.
Chairman Minihan said a good selling point would be to put plaques on each
shelter indicating who donated it. Chairman Minihan appointed a committee
to work on this project. The committee was named "Recreational Shelter
Committee. " Those appointed to it are: Lowell Brewster, Duane Helmberger,
and Ken Swayze. These plans should be for low maintenance and building
cost on these shelters.
Chairman Minihan also appointed another committee entitled "Phase Two of
Community Park. " Those appointed to the committee are Stuart Wallace,
Richard Parker, Don Whitt, and Chairman of the committee is Don Whitt.
The next Park Board meeting Phase Two needs to be in the making. In
putting Phase Two into plans need to remember the shape of the Park has
changed a little due to the land swap with Hunt Properties. Need to make
use of the entire area. There was at one time a jogging or bicycle path
around the entire park area. These are plans without a bond program.
Chairman Minihan would like to see a dedication for the Community Park.
If plans are rained out again then dedicate the Park through the newspaper
with photos of each field and all buildings. Park Dedication Committee
was appointed as follows: Retha Tibbals, Pat Minihan, and Al Draper.
Hope to have this service within the next six weeks.
Maintenance of Park: The Park is governed by Ordinance NO. 78-18. Mayor
Pro Tem Akin would like for this Ordinance to stand as the rules for the
Park and caring of same. Mayor Squires would like to see WSA help with
the mowing and maintenance of the Park so the Park Fund Budget would go
toward the tables and playground equipment. At present the Park Fund is
being used just for up keep in the Park. Councilman Hughes said WSA used
to keep the playing fields mowed in the past and does not understand why
they can not do the same now. Richard Parker said he would talk with WSA
but that Council should understand that WSA was having.;a hard time just
meeting their $3,000.00 a year obligation to the City. Richard does not
feel WSA can pay the $3,000.00 to the City plus the Electrical bill and do
the mowing of the Fields.
Richard Parker also requested from the City Council what they would like
WSA to take care of. Richard would like this in letter form so he can
present it to WSA at their next meeting. Chairman Minihan request City
Council to put together an agreement for WSA and let Richard Parker present
it to them. Richard can bring a report back from WSA to the next meeting.
Motion was made to adjourn by Stuart Wallace. Seconded by Lowell Brewster.
All in favor.

that there would be twenty-three (23) duplexes around the property and one
apartment tract with forty eight (48) units. The corner of stone and
Ballard will remain Retail (1. 34 acres) .
Mayor asked if there were any citizens wishing to speak.
One citizen told Mr. Close he was in the wrong place. He also asked Mr.
Close why he chose this piece of property that is in front of a school .
Mr. Close' s response was this was the best spot,
Sherry Benson from 304 Memorial works for an engineering ftrm which has
studies that show- the traffic flow around Duplexes and apartments will
triple from what already exists. Thi's will present a safety factor for
school children walking to and from school .
Frank Jackson lives in the Townhomes on Riverview Court. He is concerned
about the safety of the children going to and from school .
Douglas Haysk of 809 Easter is behind the existing apartments. Mr. Haysk
said there was a problem with trash from these apartments why add to the
already existing problem. I;f these other apartments are allowed to be
built, there will be a greater problem of trash,
Mr., J. D. Schreiber wanted to know- if 'Mr. Close thought these apartments
would enhance citizens property value. Mr. Close said everything he has
ever built was good homes that did enhance the property. Mr. Schreiber
then presented to the planning and Zoning Commission a petition with
signatures of people living in this area who were against this zoning
change.
Mr. ,John Simmons of 903 Easter said he and his wife purchased their home
before the already existing apartments were built. He has- put up a wood
fence for privacy but the two-story apartments overlook his backyard. He
said his family has no privacy.
Keith Huyck of 904 Easter. The noise from the pool area and parking lots
is very loud.
Sherry Benson said there was already a problem with sewer odors would
building these apartments add to this problem.
Frank Skaggs moved from Dallas hoping to live in a quite neighborhood -
he would like to see it stay this way.
Bob Squires - 302 Valentine - made a statement that letters are sent out
to the property owners within 200 feet of said property. This list of
property owners are taking from the tax roll as of January 1, of current
year. Every attempt is made to notify everyone by letter and there is
also a notice in the paper prior to the public hearing. As a privat cit-
izen, and not speaking as the Mayor, the swimming pool from the already
existing apartments in in back of my yard. There is always a lot of activity
and noise around this area. In reference to the traffic, the bulk of
traffic will be in the mornings when the people are getting their children
off to school , and in the late afternoons when everyone is coming home
from work. There is already a lot of traffic now in this area and Mr.
Squires does not want to see more.
Another citizen wanted to know if the City would put up signs on the pro-
perty sites haying zoning request made. This would help advise the Citizens
since ever ?Ql a does not read the paper. Chairman Fulgham closed the public
hearing after everyone had had a chance to speak. Chairman Fulgham called

the stipulation that, although the Commission feels the street should be
paved with concrete, such a requirement would not be economically feasible;
however, when and if the property is annexed to the City of Wylie, property
owners will be assessed the cost of concrete pavement. " Chairman Fulgham
moved that the approval of Creekside Estates be recommended to the City
Council with the requirement that a statement be included, in each contract
for sale, that at anytime in the future if the City of Wylie should annex
the developement the property owners shall be assed for any required up-
grading of streets, drainage, water and sewer to meet the then current sub-
division standards. Seconded by Ken Mauk. All in favor.

pation. Which reads as follows "An occupation customarily carried on in
the home by a member of the occupant's tamily, being incidental to the primary
occupancy of the home as a dwelling, without the offering, display or advert-
ising of any commodity or service for sale on the premises, without the employment
of any persons other than a member of the immediate family, without the use
of any sign, lighting or display, without the use of other than normal domestic
or household equipment or appliances, and the conduct of which does not gener-
ate noise, odor, fumes, vibration or any other condition visible, obnoxious or
detrimental to abutting or adjacent properties.
Zoning Board was in agreement that Mrs. Lyerly did not need the variance as
long as she complies with the above.
