REGULAR AGENDA
Public Hearing
1. Conduct a Public Hearing on the proposed tax rate of $0.73325 for Fiscal Year
2007-2008. (L. Williamson, Finance Director)
Staff Summary
In accordance with the "Truth in Taxation" laws of the State of Texas, on August 14, 2007, the City
Council took a roll call vote on the proposed tax rate and scheduled two public hearings on the tax rate.
The first public hearing is to be held on August 23, 2007. The second public hearing is scheduled for
August 28, 2007. The notice for the two public hearings was published in the McKinney Courier-Gazette
and Rowlett News on August 16, 2007, and the Wylie News on August 22, 2007. The purpose of both
public hearings is to give the taxpayers an opportunity to express their views on the tax rate. At the end of
the second hearing, the City Council must set and announce the date, time, and place of the meeting at
which it will vote on the final proposed tax rate. Currently the date has been set for September 11, 2007.
Public Hearing
Mayor Mondy opened the Public Hearing at 6:09 p.m.
Minutes—August 23, 2007
Special Called Work Session
Wylie City Council
Page 1
Kathy Welp residing at 1508 Evelyne Ct. Wylie Texas addressed Council stating that she was
not in favor of the proposed tax increase. She explained that she currently was employed for
the City of Richardson and previously employed for the Murphy Economic Development
Corporation and felt the taxes in Wylie were much higher than those in surrounding cities.
Mayor Mondy clarified the comparative tax rates by stating that the City of Wylie had the lowest
crime rate and the very best ISO (1) Fire rating. He explained that this was due to employing
more police officers and fire fighters. He explained that in the past 10 years, the tax rate had
only been increased one time without voter approval. He explained that the increase proposed
this year was directly related to the voters approving bond issues in November of 2005 for new
thoroughfares, new library, new recreation center, city hall and other infrastructure items. He
stated that citizen approval was the driving force behind the increase in taxes. He explained
that the City Council only provided the opportunity to vote on these propositions; the voters
ultimately approved them. He thanked Ms. Welp for taking the time to come and address
Council regarding the tax proposal explaining that most of the time the public did not voice their
views. Mayor Mondy reported that there were some negotiations relating to retail that were
being considered by WEDC, the City and retail developers to enhance the retail within Wylie
and offset some of the ad valorem taxes. He explained that these types of negotiations took
time but the City would see the results within a couple of years. He also mentioned the new
sports facility that was in the planning stages. Ms. Welp replied that she voted against the bond
program because it was going to raise taxes. She stated that she believed that leadership
needed to come from the City Council to keep ad valorem taxes low. She stated that she had
spoken during the public forum at the school district as well. Mayor Mondy explained that
during the recent budget work sessions, options were discussed regarding the assistance of the
4A and 4B funds to buy down a portion of the tax rate. He stated that Council was cognizant of
the need to find ways to keep the tax rate as low as possible. Ms. Welp asked Council if the City
offered tax abatement to companies looking to reside in the City. She asked if the City did offer
incentives, such as tax abatement, would those incentives cause higher taxes to residents and
other businesses. Mayor Mondy replied that the City did not offer tax abatements. He explained
that Wylie EDC did, in some cases, assist businesses with infrastructure to make it more
lucrative to move in; however the cost of that assistance is weighted on the return the company
will provide to the City in sales tax and ad valorem tax revenue; only if the return largely
outweighs the expense are those incentives offered. Ms. Welp stated that working with the EDC
for Murphy, she was aware of the confidentiality of negotiations, however she requested that
Council share these negotiations with the public as much as possible, to allow the public to
know the City is working with these retailers. Mayor Pro Tem Byboth reiterated the importance
of Council's decision to turn the property at S.H. 544 and McCreary from residential to
commercial, noting this was an important decision. He restated that these zoning issues and
negotiations take time. He asked that residents be patient, explaining that retail comes from the
main highways, such as George Bush Turnpike; retail will take some time to develop in Wylie.
He commented that council members do not like paying ad valorem taxes anymore than other
residents of Wylie.
Marcia Rodriquez residing at 3300 Francis Drive, Wylie Texas addressed Council stating that
she had just seen the public notice for the public hearing on the tax rate and noted that
communication should be better to the residents of Wylie. She stated that the infrastructure in
Wylie was lacking. She stated that she moved to Wylie five years ago and currently resides in
the Creekside Estates subdivision. She stated that in her development, she has seen residents
lose their homes due to builders allowing them to buy homes that were barely in their income
bracket. She stated that these residents were not told the accurate tax amount that would be
assessed on the property and some ended up losing their homes. She explained that the
assessed values from the appraisal district were not in line with what the homes were selling for
Minutes—August 23, 2007

and homes are not selling in the current soft market. She stated that she was opposed to the
tax increase. Mayor Mondy asked what additional infrastructure she would like to see in Wylie.
She stated that she wanted to see more infrastructures at the time of development. Mayor
Mondy explained that roads and other infrastructure are not built until they are needed. He
explained that every main thoroughfare in the City was funded but the construction had to be
staggered to allow flow of traffic. He stated that the bond propositions were compiled by a
citizen advisory committee before coming to Council for approval and call for the bond election.
Ms. Rodriquez stated that she had attended those special meetings. Mayor Mondy reminded
her of the decisions made during those meetings that she attended; the bond committee
reviewed all assessment needs of the City and chose the most crucial items for
recommendation to the Council. He explained that the Council gave the citizens the opportunity
to decide if the propositions were important to them. He reported that he did not have before
him the exact results of that election but the construction of a new library was one of the top
vote getters. He explained that for every citizen of Wylie there is approximately one square foot
in the proposed library. Ms. Rodriquez replied that in her opinion that was a worthy cause. He
then stated that citizens were very much in favor of a $10 million dollar Recreation Center which
garnered a large majority of the voters. Mayor Mondy asked Ms. Rodriguez if that too was a
worthy cause. Ms. Rodriguez replied that yes it was a worthy cause. Mayor Mondy reported
that the New City Hall was the one proposition that did not win by many votes. He stated that it
was very much needed as the departments were moving out to portable buildings because of
over crowding; but it was not considered as great a worthy cause. Ms. Rodriguez suggested
postponing some of the bond issues for 5 years when funds might be more available. Mayor
Mondy explained that the Council was informed by the financial analysts with the construction,
management team that for every month the bond propositions are placed on hold an additional
$60,000 in construction cost increases would occur. He explained that if the City waited on
some of these projects for five years, the additional cost could be close to $6 million dollars.
With no other citizens requesting to speak, Mayor Mondy closed the Public Hearing at 6;35 p.m.
ADJOURNMENT
With no other business before Council, Mayor Mondy adjourned the meeting at 6:37 p.m.
Consensus of Council was to adjourn.

Council Discussion
Mayor Mondy asked Human Resource Manager, Lynn Fagerstrom to highlight the differences in the
employee insurance coverage from the current year to the proposed FY 2007-2008 budget. Ms. Fagerstrom
explained that competitive proposals had been solicited to provide employee group insurance coverage for
the 2008 fiscal year. The RFP instructed the insurance providers to submit quotes based on the same level
of benefits provided under the current P.P.O. medical plan and the ancillary dental, life and disability policies.
She reported that alternate proposals were invited and providers were encouraged to submit options to
reduce costs without materially diminishing the existing level of benefits.
Ms. Fagerstrom explained that to keep the benefits equal to last year, the premium rates were proposed to
go up 21.4%. United Healthcare, represented by Wylie Insurance Agency, provided an additional option that
staff felt was the best value to the employees and dependants of the City of Wylie for medical and dental
insurance. The premium rates quoted by United reflect an 11.4% increase for medical and 3% increase for
dental. These increases are below the current 12.4% nationwide average increase for 2007. There are no
benefit changes to the dental, life or long term disability plans. She reported that changes to the medical
coverage included: deductible increase from $250.00 to $500.00; office visit co-pay increase from $15.00 to
$20.00; annual out-of-pocket maximum increase from $2000.00 to $3000.00. She reported that by making
these changes, 10% of the originally proposed increase was avoided. She reported that the City will
experience an annual savings of $2,000.00 on our life insurance and the long term disability premium will
remain the same as FY2007.
F. Consider, and act upon, a Final Plat creating one (1) commercial lot for Best Corner
Wylie Addition, Block A, Lot 1, generally located on the northeast corner of SH 78 and
Kirby Street. (R. 011ie, Planning Director)
Council Discussion
Mayor Mondy asked Planning Director 011ie to review the highlights of this proposed final plat. Planning
Director 011ie reported that the applicant currently had two adjacent lots that he was proposing on the final
plat to combine into one lot; in a effort to meet the parking requirements. Mayor Mondy asked what was
being proposed for the Kirby and S.H. 78 jog of the property. Planning Director 011ie reported that a portion
of the area in question would become the right of way for the right turn lane. She reported that the right of
way portion had previously been deeded to the City. City Engineer Hoisted reported that the area in question
had been submitted as part of the TxDOT project for Highway 78. Mayor Mondy asked how much of the
project the City would be responsible for. City Engineer Hoisted reported that if for some reason it was not
included in the TxDOT improvements, it would more than likely remain in its current configuration. He
explained that if improvements to the area were required by the City, the developer would pay a share of that
through Thoroughfare Impact Fees. City Manager Manson stated that the road improvement could not be
tied back to the plat. She explained that the plat satisfies the technical requirements of the subdivision
regulations; therefore, we don't have a choice but to approve it. Councilman Young asked City Engineer
Hoisted to clarify that the straightening of the Kirby-S.H. 78 was a public safety issue. City Engineer Hoisted
agreed that it was.
Council Action
A motion was made by Councilman White, seconded by Councilman Porter to approve Items #C
and #F as presented. A vote was taken and passed 6-0 with Councilman Goss absent.

Staff Comments
Planning Director 011ie addressed Council stating that the legal owner of the property has decided not to
move forward with the development and request that the zoning case be withdrawn from consideration. Staff
received a written letter from the owner, requesting to withdraw this case on July 16th, 2007. However,
because publication and notification of the requested rezoning has been completed in accordance with State
Law, some action is required by the Council at the current meeting. The Council should convene the hearing
and allow any citizen comment, and then accept the applicant's request for withdrawal.

with Specific Use Permit 06-14 zoning to allow for Neighborhood Services District on a
2.03 acre tract, Block E, Lots 1 & 2 of the Lake Trails of Bozman Farms Addition.
Zoning Case 2007-05 (R. 011ie, Planning Director)
Staff Comments
Planning Director 011ie addressed Council stating that the subject property is located at the northeast corner
of Collins Boulevard and F.M. 544 within the Bozman Farms Estates & Lake Trails of Bozman Farms
Planned Development District (Ordinance No. 2002-52). The 475-acre planned development zoning was
adopted by City Council in December 2002 allowing for medium density & multifamily residential uses and
some community retail uses in certain areas. In addition, parkland dedications, a pond & landscaped open
space areas and other amenities are being provided by the developer. In March 2006, the applicant
requested and City Council adopt an amendment to Ordinance No. 2002-52 assigning a Specific Use Permit
(SUP 06-14) to allow for a Day Care Facility on the subject property. At that time, developers envisioned this
nonresidential use of the property as an appropriate location and a preferable use in providing childcare
services to surrounding residential areas. The prospect for a day care facility has yet to materialize and the
applicant is proposing other nonresidential uses for the property.
Council Discussion
Mayor Mondy asked Planning Director 011ie if the Day Care Center was part of the original use of this
property. Planning Director 011ie stated that it was not. The original Planned Development was with mixed
use and was fashioned on the "village center" concept. The applicant came back in March and requested by
right that the Day Care Center be allowed. The applicant was denied and was required to obtain an SUP.
She explained that the current request for Neighborhood Services District would include: banks without drive
thru, convenience stores, general and medical office; all items mentioned must be under 5,000 sq. ft. or the

business must obtain an SUP and go back before P & Z and Council. Mayor Mondy asked City Engineer
Hoisted if the road to the businesses could be accessed from Stone Road. City Engineer Hoisted replied
that the access may need to be off Collins. Mayor Mondy asked how that would affect alignment of Stone
Road. City Engineer Hoisted replied that would be one of the items reviewed once the applicant had a layout
of the property. Mayor Pro Tem Byboth stated that the two entrances to the developments on either side of
this proposed Neighborhood Services District were beautiful. He asked what the City could do to insure that
the proposed development of the tract was as aesthetically pleasing. Planning Director 011ie reported that
the applicant would be required to follow the current design standards for the proposed tract. Mayor Mondy
asked the applicant to come forward.
Applicant Comments
Phil Clegg (applicant) L.T. Lake Trails ltd. located at 1771 Intern'I Parkway, Richardson, TX#127 addressed
Council stating that the company did not have a layout of the proposed tract. He explained that the company
would not develop it but rather planned to sell it. He stated that it would comply with current design
standards. Mayor Mondy asked how the Council could tie in the additional aesthetics to the SUP. Mr. Clegg
stated that he would be happy to pass along that information to prospective developers. He reported that any
cuts to the street would need to be made on Collins Blvd. whether it was a Day Care Center or a
neighborhood development. He reported that he believed there needed to be a low screening wall near the
development. Mayor Pro Tem Byboth voiced his concern for the residents in the Collins Estates who would
look out their window and see some type of commercial building. He noted that as much as he would like to
see commercial come to Wylie, there needed to be a compromise regarding the aesthetics of the commercial
property. Mayor Mondy asked Planning Director 011ie how the Council could accomplish these additional
requirements. Planning Director 011ie reported that some items were addressed in the design requirements
that must conform to designs of the surrounding area; if you wish to incorporate more requirements than the
item should be converted to a Planned Development. Applicant Clegg requested that the item be tabled to
the September 11, 2007 City Council Meeting to allow the applicant time to review the concerns and
recommendations by Council and revise.

Council Discussion
Mayor Mondy asked Planning Director 011ie if the adjacent property had lot density of 2.4 units per acre.
Planning Director 011ie replied yes. Mayor Mondy asked if the applicant was requesting lot density of 4.4 to
5.4 units per acre. Ms. 011ie replied that was correct. Mayor Mondy asked Ms. 011ie why the higher density
was warranted. Ms. 011ie replied that it may not be warranted but that was the density the applicant had
requested. Councilman Porter asked if the adjacent property town homes only, could be broken out as to
density within the average 2.4 units per acre. Ms 011ie replied she could obtain that information and report
back to Council. Mayor Mondy asked what could be done to increase the lot size and home size of this
application. Planning Director 011ie reported that it could be accomplished through conditions within a
Planned Development. Councilman Young asked if the proposed town homes would be 100% brick.
Planning Director 011ie replied yes they would. Councilman Young asked if a deed restriction could be placed
on the property to disallow property owners to rent the property. Ms. 011ie replied that was a restriction that
she believed would be between the property owners and their HOA. She explained that she could look into
the issue and report back to Council. Councilman Young asked she do so for clarification. Councilman Porter
reported that in his business transactions, he was asked about the availability of town homes in Wylie
frequently; maybe we can make this into a nicer level town home site. Mayor Mondy stated that was a fare
request and asked council to give some direction regarding what they would like to see to make this a nicer
level town home site. Some of the items mentioned by Council members were: one story $150,000. to
$175,000. town homes, alternate elevations and brick every 4-5 structures, 1,500 square feet living space,
two to three bedrooms, drive ways can not be shared, screening for property; such as stone or brick, hip
roofing, fenced neighborhood, and 2 car garages. Also discussed were deed restrictions for over 55 years on
the property. City Manager Manson reported that these requirements would not be mandatory under straight
zoning and would need to be brought back as a PD.
Applicant Comments
Alan Atkins, applicant representing Arapaho East, Inc., located at 6600 LBJ Freeway, Suite 160, Dallas TX
addressed Council stating that he did not know if all the recommendations could be met however he
requested to table the item to review and submit as a Planned Development to try and address some of the
issues. City Manager Manson explained that after speaking with the City Attorney today, it was clarified that
a straight zoning case could be converted to a PD without going back through Planning and Zoning
Commission due to the additional restrictions being required.

4. Hold the Second Public Hearing on the proposed tax rate for fiscal year 2007-2008 and
provide taxpayers an opportunity to express their views on the tax rate and set and
announce the date, time, and place of the meeting at which Council will vote on the
final proposed tax rate. (L. Williamson, Finance Director)
Staff Comments
Finance Director Williamson addressed Council stating that in accordance with the "Truth in Taxation" laws
of the State of Texas, on August 14, 2007, the City Council took a roll call vote on the proposed tax rate and
scheduled two public hearings on the tax rate. The first public hearing was held on August 23, 2007. The
second public hearing is scheduled for August 28, 2007. The notice of the two public hearings was published
in the McKinney Courier-Gazette on August 16, 2007, and the Rowlett News on August 16, 2007 and the
Wylie News on August 22, 2007. The purpose of the second public hearing on August 28, 2007, is to give
the taxpayers an additional opportunity to express their views on the tax rate. At the end of the hearing, the
City Council must set and announce the date, time, and place of the meeting at which it will vote on the final
proposed tax rate.
Council Discussion
Mayor Mondy asked Finance Director Williamson to highlight the items in the proposed budget for FY 2007-
2008. Finance Director Williamson stated that the budget which was based on this tax rate was based on
maintaining the same levels of service for the proposed budget. Each department was asked to limit their
expenditures to those required to keep the same level of service. He reported that departments were asked
to not include any additional items. He reported that the largest new expenditure was for the new Fire
Station #3 staffing. He stated that the Fire Department was budgeting one fourth of the year in additional
staffing for the new facility. Fire Chief Corbin reported to Council that in the preliminary budget process the
department had budgeted for one third year funding for the new Fire Station. After considerable review, the
department submitted a proposal for staff for the one fourth year of the FY 2007-2008 budget year. He
reported that the temporary station that was set up recently to keep the response time level was working very
well. Assistant Fire Chief Flores reported that prior to opening the temporary Fire State#3 the response time
was 8% to 11% under 5 minutes; now with the temporary station and eventually the new Fire Station #3 the
response time was 84% under 5 minutes. Chief Corbin reported the only other item increase in the budget
was for direct monitoring of alarms in the community. This service would cut response time and be less
expensive to the citizens than the alarm system services currently servicing the citizens of Wylie. Mayor
Mondy asked Chief Corbin what the revenue would be if the City serviced all the alarm systems. Chief
Corbin replied that servicing 100% of the homes in Wylie was a tall request but estimated revenues to
monitor would be ten times greater than the amount to perform the service and would cut the response time
to the residences. He estimated this revenue would be in the seven figure area.
Mayor Mondy asked Library Director Orozco the highlights of the proposed Library budget for FY 2007-2008.
Library Director Orozco reported that all areas were flat with current service levels maintained. She stated
that the staff would be working with the architects and reviewing the collections for the new library facility. All
other line items were maintaining the same programs as are currently available. Mayor Mondy asked Library
Director Orozco what staffing she would require for the new facility. Ms. Orozco reported that after
completing a staff survey with a consulting firm the number to open was recommended at 15.5 employees.
Mayor Mondy asked Assistant City Manager and Police Chief Butters to highlight the proposed budget for
the Police Department. Assistant City Manager Butters reported that the Police budget had four additional
officers and one civilian and one new squad car; the remainder of the budget was fairly flat
Mayor Mondy asked Finance Director Williamson how much of the proposed budget was for Public Safety
(Dispatch, Police, and Fire). Mr. Williamson reported that the Public Safety was 48% or $9,000,000. of the
$21,000,000 budget. He reported that general government was 21% while Parks and Recreation accounted
for 10% and Planning, Building, and Code Enforcement was 8% to 9%. Mayor Mondy asked Finance
Director Williamson if the City went forward with the bonds approved by the citizens of Wylie, and kept the
tax rate equal to last year, how many positions would have to be cut. Mr. Williamson reported that $0.035
Minutes—August 28, 2007

cents would compute to around $600,000 and would take all new police officer proposed for this budget plus
additional employees to equal that amount.
Public Hearing
Mayor Mondy opened the 2nd Public Hearing on the proposed tax rate for fiscal year 2007-2008 at
7:19 p.m. Several citizens were present to speak regarding the proposed tax rate:
Gilbert Tamez Sr. residing at 3104 Hannart Courts (Creekside Estates) addressed Council stating
that he supported the Police and Fire services in Wylie but was not willing to support the shortfall in
tax revenue to expenditures, which he believed was the cause for the tax increase. He gave some
statistics regarding inflation and consumer price index increases and asked that Council
concentrate their efforts in bringing more retail to the city to reduce the ad valorem tax to residents.
Also suggested was increasing the sales tax which is paid by all citizens. Mayor Mondy reported
that the City was aggressively seeking additional retail and some of those negotiations looked very
promising. Mayor Mondy also explained that the state regulated the amount of sales tax that could
be charged by cities. He reported that Council and WEDC were investigating the 4A and 4B one
half of one percent tax (each) for ways to convert some of that revenue to offset property taxes. Mr.
Tamez suggested that better communication be directed to the citizens regarding new commercial
development. Mayor Mondy reported that the best avenues for communication currently were the
Wylie News, the e-Wylie, and the Wylie website. He explained that there had been several work
sessions; some lasting to 11:45 p.m. that were posted on the website for citizen attendance.
Marcia Rodriquez residing at 3300 Francis Drive (Creekside Estates) addressed Council stating
that with the housing decline, homes are being over valued. Ms. Rodriguez stated that if all
delinquent taxes were collected it would close to make up the proposed tax increase for this
coming year. She asked for the amount of the 2005 bond series that had been issued and how
much still had not been sold. Finance Director Williamson reported that $38,325,000 had not been
issued and $35,000,000 had been issued with AAA rating of 4.25%. He reported that the funds
awaiting use were earning interest at a rate of 5.20%. Ms. Rodriquez reported that she had been to
all the bond committee meetings and thought that all the projects were worthy projects but were an
unfair burden on the tax payers, unless the city was aggressively seeking additional commercial
business to offset the tax increase. Finance Director Williamson explained that the proposed rate
for the coming year was actually less than what was proposed to the bond committee and to the
voters of Wylie due to investment of the interest earned to date on the bonds sold. Ms Rodriquez
asked Council when they would realize that Wylie was no longer a farming community and tax
revenue needed to come from sales tax from new business and not just the home owners. Mayor
Mondy replied that as the City grows, new residents want facilities and services that are enjoyed in
other larger communities and the money has to come from somewhere. He explained that the
need for new streets and construction of three new buildings was driving the tax rate and was
voted for by the citizens of Wylie.
Tim Taylor residing at 3501 Lynn Court (Creekside Estates) addressed Council requesting that the
City review ways to increase revenues and decrease expenditures. He reported that he did not
want to see city services decrease and he also did not want to see taxes go up. He reported that
mortgages were tight and citizens were losing their homes due to arms coming due on mortgages
already out of reach. He stated that in his opinion, the market would get worse before it got better.
He suggested holding off on some of the bond projects; going back and looking at both sides of the
equation; revenue and expenditures as you move into approving the budget. He asked Mr. Taylor
to choose the project that should not move forward. Mayor Mondy reported that for every month
the City held off on the projects, an additional $60,000 in construction costs were being added to
each project. Mr. Taylor asked why the bond principal could not be used to pay off the bonds; the
Minutes—August 28, 2007

City would then not have to construct the buildings. Mr. Williamson replied that the investors of the
bonds have ten year call protection and the City could not pay any additional principal on the
bonds for ten years.
Grace Morrison residing at 118 Glen Knoll, Wylie Texas addressed Council giving some examples
of some of the economic downturns she had lived through. She reported that she was a member fo
the 2005 Bond Advisory Board and the board had wrestled with the things that were important for
this City. "I commend the City Council, all the City staff, the Police Department, the Fire
Department, and the Library". She stated that she did not know of any other city that had done
more to give citizens value for their tax money than Wylie had. It is now a tax rate that is less than
was projected in 2005. I believe the economy will again have an upturn and houses will not be
upside down and Wylie will be fine again. She explained that if Wylie had the population of say
Garland, Wylie would already have the restaurants. She commented that they too will come in
time. She stated that she was looking forward to the bond projects that the people of Wylie voted
for.
Chris Clark residing at 3405 Lombardy Dr., Wylie addressed Council stating that he was against
the proposed tax rate. He stated that he had concerns regarding the valuation of homes in Wylie
and the marketing of those home values being less than other cities. He requested an impasse of
the bond program during the down market. Mayor Mondy asked Finance Director Williamson how
the federal government required the bonds to be sold. Mr. Williamson reported that the bond funds
once issued could earn additional interest for up to 3 years, but then 85% of the bond proceeds
needed to be expended due to the tax reform act of 1986. He explained that it took on average a
year to design a project and two years to construct the project, thus having the total of a 3 year
expenditure requirement. If 85% of the funds are not expended in the 3 year timeframe, the
government will take the interest earned on the funds. Mayor Mondy asked Mr. Williamson if the
note could be paid off in advance. Mr. Williamson replied that the note could be paid off early,
however, the City could not pay off the investors as they have call protection which means you
have to set up an escrow account funded with new bonds so that the escrow could pay interest
and principal on the bonds until the call date, at which time the remaining principal could be paid. If
the Federal government found the bonds were issued illegally, the City would be in violation of the
arbitrage laws. Mayor Mondy asked Finance Director Williamson what the increase would be for an
average home in Wylie. Mr. Williamson reported that the increase in taxes for an average home in
Wylie costing $150,000. would be an additional $40.00 annually. Mayor Pro Tern Byboth reported
that the amount of increase would more than likely be gained back, two fold, in homeowner's
insurance reductions under the ISO 1 rating for fire hazard and other services to Wylie residents
not offered in other cities. Mayor Pro Tem Byboth reported that it was not an accident that the
Public Safety Departments were as skilled as they are; that is impacting the cost of living here.
Suzette Clark residing at 3405 Lombardy Dr. Wylie addressed Council stating that she believed the
communication from the City needed to be improved and reiterated her concern to maintain
services and hold off proceeding with the bond projects.
John Onufreiczuk residing at 3103 Bryce Drive, Wylie addressed Council commending City Council
and staff for what they do to prepare the budget and proposed tax rate each year. He commented
that he too did not want to pay higher taxes but he did not want to see Public Safety cut and lose
the ISO 1 rating that kept homeowner's insurance rates down, nor do we want to remove any
police officers from the streets as they are needed by the City. Mr. Onufreiczuk reported that his
property taxes have actually gone down due to school taxes decreasing. He reiterated once again
"voter approval" on all the bond propositions, citing that the bonds were the driving factor of the tax
increase.

Staff Comments
Assistant City Manager Butters addressed Council stating that the City of Lucas has approached the City of
Wylie asking for animal control services. Lt. Atkison and Animal Control Supervisor, Ken Qualls, have
studied the feasibility and determined that Wylie currently does have the shelter capacity and resources to
render services to Lucas. Lucas has historically not generated very many animal control calls. The feasibility
of providing services for Lucas may change as both Cities grow but for the next year it should not be a
problem.
Council Discussion
Councilman Young asked if this issue was on the same lines as allowing sewer service to persons outside
the City limits. Assistant City Manager Butters replied that the Wylie Animal Shelter had the capacity to assist
the City of Lucas currently and the revenues from the City of Lucas would help offset the expense of building
improvements made to the Wylie Animal Shelter. Councilman Young asked at what capacity the animal
shelter was currently at. Assistant City Manager Butters replied that they were currently at 30% or less.

WEDC to enter into debt in the amount of $228,750.00. (S. Satterwhite, Executive
Director, WEDC)
Staff Comments
Wylie Economic Development Executive Director Satterwhite addressed Council stating that he was
submitting for Council review and approval a Real Estate Sales Contract between the WEDC and Prime Kuts
Distributing, Inc. The contract calls for the WEDC to purchase the 0.1974 acre lot, along with the 4,550
square foot facility for $228,750. He explained that the purchase will be owner financed over a period of
one-hundred twenty months at an interest rate of 6% per annum. The purchase price is a reflection of a
combined offer from the WEDC of $305,000 for the 0.1974 acre tract and the adjoining 0.114 acre tract
which was previously railroad right-of-way. Martin L. Anderson, owner of Prime Kuts, owns the 0.114 acre
tract as well. He explained that the two items were separate approvals due to the title on the property being
in Mr. Anderson's personal name and the business Prime Kuts, Distributing, Inc. He explained that In 2005,
the WEDC initiated a proactive effort to begin redevelopment on Industrial Court via the purchase of a 0.92
acre tract at the end of the cul-de-sac. Located on the property are two, five thousand square foot buildings
which the WEDC leases to local businesses. The leases will continue until which time as the area begins to
redevelop with new commercial facilities. This same strategy will be utilized once Prime Kuts vacates the
premises. There remains one lot between Prime Kuts and existing WEDC property which is owned by Glenn
Brothers Meats.

Protection sites, survey data must be submitted to support the Operational Plan. It is recommended that subgrantees
follow the "Speed Survey Protocol and Instructions" and the "Occupant Restraint Survey Protocol" found on the
Buckle Up Texas website: http://www.buckleuptexas.com.

TxDOT Form 2109(rev.01/08/2007)
Operational Plan Instructions
I. Instructions
The goal of the Operational Plan is to assist agencies in defining roadways and locations where enforcement
efforts should be concentrated. The Operational Plan is to be completed by the Subgrantee (STEP agency)
and submitted as an attachment to the eGrants proposal. Contact your local TxDOT District Traffic Safety
Specialist if you have any questions or need clarification regarding these instructions.
Site Type and Identifier: List the STEP enforcement component to be worked (ex. Speed, DWI, OP or ITC)
and the site identifier (ex. A, B, C, 1, 2, 3). A site may be labeled as an entire sector or patrol district (ex.
Sector A, District C).
Site Description: This is a description of the location(s) to be worked.
• Speed Site: Identify the specific roadway(s) where speed enforcement will be conducted. Include the
name of the roadway, approximate length in miles and speed limits.
• Occupant Protection Site: Identify the site description as jurisdiction-wide.
• Intersection Traffic Control Site: Identify the specific intersection(s) that will receive increased
enforcement.
• DWI Site: Identify the site as jurisdiction-wide, or as a specific sector or patrol district. The
enforcement effort must be focused at locations where there is an over-representation of alcohol-related
crashes and/or DWI arrests. Subgrantees must maintain and analyze crash data to justify the locations
that warrant increased DWI enforcement. Note: If DWI sites are listed as specific sectors or patrol
districts, the Subgrantee must describe the site's boundaries or indicate "See Attached Map".
Survey Results: List compliance rates for occupant protection and speed sites if applicable. Speed
enforcement must be conducted at sites that have less than 50% compliance, as determined by speed
surveys, or at sites with compliance rates of 50% or more that have been pre-approved by TxDOT.
Additional documentation, such as crash data, will be required to show that these sites warrant increased
enforcement.
Note: Survey tools, worksheets, and instructions can be found on the Buckle Up Texas Website at:
http://www.buckleuptexas.com.
Enforcement Period: List hours of enforcement. The enforcement period is the range of time in which
enforcement may be conducted. Hours listed on each officer's activity sheet must coincide with the hours
listed on the Operational Plan. Any hours outside of those listed may not be counted as STEP activity,
unless indicated as an exception in the Terms, Conditions and Responsibilities. Note: Occupant
Protection STEP enforcement may be conducted during daytime and/or nighttime hours.
Examples: For Speed —Daily, Monday through Sunday, 6:00 A.M.—8:00 P.M.
For OP—Daily, Monday through Sunday, 8:00 A.M. — 11:00 P.M.
For DWI —Friday 8:00 P.M.—Saturday 4:00 A.M.; Saturday 8:00 P.M.—Sunday, 4:00 A.M.
For ITC—Daily, Monday through Sunday, 8:00 A.M.—7:00 P.M.
II. Modifying a STEP Operational Plan
1. Subgrantees may request modifications to the Operational Plan, but must make such a request through
the eGrants messaging system. The request sent to the District Traffic Safety Specialist, for district
managed grants, or to the appropriate Division Program Manager in Austin, for division managed grants
must include a description of the Site Name and STEP element that is being added or modified in the
request.
2. Attach a copy of the new Operational Plan that includes the additional or modified sites, along with all
required supporting documentation (i.e. surveys).
3. Modifications must comply with the Operational Plan instructions.
4. TxDOT approval will be provided, or denied, by the District Traffic Safety Specialist, for district managed
grants, or by the appropriate Division Program Manager in Austin, for division managed grants through
the eGrants messaging system. The modifications must be approved by TxDOT prior to implementing
any changes to enforcement activity. Unauthorized enforcement activity conducted prior to TxDOT
approval is not eligible for reimbursement.

specified in paragraph B hereunder. If the Project Budget specifies that costs are based on a specific
rate,per-unit cost, or other method of payment,reimbursement will be based on the specified method.
B. All payments will be made in accordance with the Project Budget.
The Subgrantee's expenditures may overrun a budget category(I, II, or III)in the approved Project
Budget without a grant(budget) amendment, as long as the overrun does not exceed a total of five (5)
percent per year of the maximum amount eligible for reimbursement(TxDOT) in the attached Project
Budget for the current fiscal year. This overrun must be off-set by an equivalent underrun elsewhere
in the Project Budget.
TXDOT 8 8/22/2007
City of Wylie STEP Comprehensive 2008
If the overrun is five(5)percent or less,the Subgrantee must provide written notification to the
Department, through the TxDOT Electronic Grants Management System(eGrants)messaging system,
prior to the Request for Reimbursement being approved. The notification must indicate the amount,
the percent over, and the specific reason(s)for the overrun.
Any overrun of more than five (5)percent of the amount eligible for reimbursement(TxDOT)in the
attached Project Budget requires an amendment of this Grant Agreement.
The maximum amount eligible for reimbursement shall not be increased above the Grand Total
TxDOT Amount in the approved Project Budget,unless this Grant Agreement is amended, as
described in Article 5 of this Agreement.
For Selective Traffic Enforcement Program(STEP) grants only: In the Project Budget, Subgrantees
are not allowed to use underrun funds from the TxDOT amount of(100) Salaries, Subcategories A,
"Enforcement,"or B, "PI&E Activities,"to exceed the TxDOT amount listed in Subcategory C,
"Other." Also, Subgrantees are not allowed to use underrun funds from the TxDOT amount of(100)
Salaries, Subcategories A, "Enforcement,"or C,"Other,"to exceed the TxDOT amount listed in
Subcategory B, "PI&E Activities." The TxDOT amount for Subcategory B, "PI&E Activities,"or C,
"Other," can only be exceeded within the 5 percent flexibility,with underrun funds from Budget
Categories II or III.
C. To be eligible for reimbursement under this Agreement, a cost must be incurred in accordance with
the Project Budget,within the time frame specified in the Grant Period of this Grant Agreement,
attributable to work covered by this Agreement, and which has been completed in a manner
satisfactory and acceptable to the Department.
D. Federal or TxDOT funds cannot supplant(replace)funds from any other sources. The term
"supplanting,"refers to the use of federal or TxDOT funds to support personnel or an activity already
supported by local or state funds.
E. Payment of costs incurred under this Agreement is further governed by one of the following cost
principles, as appropriate, outlined in the Federal Office of Management and Budget(OMB)
Circulars:

forty-five (45)days of the end of the grant period.
H. The Department will exercise good faith to make payments within thirty(30)days of receipt of
properly prepared and documented Requests for Reimbursement. Payments,however, are contingent
upon the availability of appropriated funds.
I. Project agreements supported with federal or TxDOT funds are limited to the length of this Grant
Period specified in this Grant Agreement. If the Department determines that the project has
demonstrated merit or has potential long-range benefits, the Subgrantee may apply for funding
assistance beyond the initial Agreement period. Preference for funding will be given to those projects
for which the Subgrantee has assumed some cost sharing,those which propose to assume the largest
percentage of subsequent project costs,and those which have demonstrated performance that is
acceptable to the Department.
TXDOT 9 8/22/2007
City of Wylie STEP Comprehensive 2008

this Grant Period, the Department determines that there is insufficient funding to continue the project,the
Department shall so notify the Subgrantee,giving notice of intent to terminate this Agreement, as
specified in Article 11 of this Agreement. If at the end of a federal fiscal year,the Department determines
that there is sufficient funding and performance to continue the project,the Department may so notify the
Subgrantee to continue this agreement.
ARTICLE 5. AMENDMENTS
This Agreement may be amended prior to its expiration by mutual written consent of both parties,
utilizing the Grant Agreement Amendment in eGrants. Any amendment must be executed by the parties
within the Grant Period, as specified in this Grant Agreement.
ARTICLE 6. ADDITIONAL WORK AND CHANGES IN WORK
If the Subgrantee is of the opinion that any assigned work is beyond the scope of this Agreement and
constitutes additional work,the Subgrantee shall promptly notify the Department in writing through
eGrants system messaging. If the Department finds that such work does constitute additional work,the
Department shall so advise the Subgrantee and a written amendment to this Agreement will be executed
according to Article 5, Amendments,to provide compensation for doing this work on the same basis as
the original work. If performance of the additional work will cause the maximum amount payable to be
exceeded, the work will not be performed before a written grant amendment is executed.
If the Subgrantee has submitted work in accordance with the terms of this Agreement but the Department
requests changes to the completed work or parts thereof which involve changes to the original scope of
services or character of work under this Agreement, the Subgrantee shall make such revisions as
requested and directed by the Department. This will be considered as additional work and will be paid for
as specified in this Article.
If the Subgrantee submits work that does not comply with the terms of this Agreement, the Department
shall instruct the Subgrantee to make such revisions as are necessary to bring the work into compliance
with this Agreement. No additional compensation shall be paid for this work.
The Subgrantee shall make revisions to the work authorized in this Agreement,which are necessary to
correct errors or omissions appearing therein,when required to do so by the Department. No additional
compensation shall be paid for this work.
The Department shall not be responsible for actions by the Subgrantee or any costs incurred by the
Subgrantee relating to additional work not directly associated with or prior to the execution of an
amendment.
ARTICLE 7. REPORTING AND MONITORING
Not later than thirty (30)days after the end of each reporting period, the Subgrantee shall submit a
performance report through eGrants. For short-term projects,only one report submitted by the
Subgrantee at the end of the project may be required. For longer projects,the Subgrantee will submit
reports at least quarterly and preferably monthly. The frequency of the performance reports is established
through negotiation between the Subgrantee and the program or project manager.
For Selective Traffic Enforcement Programs (STEPs),performance reports must be submitted monthly.
The performance report will include, as a minimum: (1)a comparison of actual accomplishments to the
objectives established for the period, (2)reasons why established objectives and performance measures
were not met, if appropriate,and(3)other pertinent information, including,when appropriate, an analysis
and explanation of cost underruns,overruns, or high unit costs.
TXDOT 10 8/22/2007
City of Wylie STEP Comprehensive 2008
The Subgrantee shall submit the Final Performance Report through eGrants within thirty (30)days after
completion of the grant.
The Subgrantee shall promptly advise the Department in writing,through eGrants messaging, of events
that will have a significant impact upon this Agreement, including:
A. Problems, delays,or adverse conditions, including a change of project director or other changes in
Subgrantee personnel,that will materially affect the ability to attain objectives and performance
measures,prevent the meeting of time schedules and objectives,or preclude the attainment of project
objectives or performance measures by the established time periods. This disclosure shall be
accompanied by a statement of the action taken or contemplated and any Department or federal
assistance needed to resolve the situation.
B. Favorable developments or events that enable meeting time schedules and objectives sooner than
anticipated or achieving greater performance measure output than originally projected.
ARTICLE 8. RECORDS
The Subgrantee agrees to maintain all reports,documents,papers,accounting records,books, and other
evidence pertaining to costs incurred and work performed hereunder,(hereinafter called the records), and
shall make such records available at its office for the time period authorized within the Grant Period, as
specified in this Grant Agreement. The Subgrantee further agrees to retain said records for four(4)years
from the date of final payment under this Agreement,until completion of all audits, or until pending
litigation has been completely and fully resolved,whichever occurs last.
Duly authorized representatives of the Department,the USDOT,the Office of the Inspector General,
Texas State Auditor, and the Comptroller General shall have access to the records. This right of access is
not limited to the four(4)year period but shall last as long as the records are retained.
ARTICLE 9. INDEMNIFICATION
To the extent permitted by law, the Subgrantee, if other than a government entity, shall indemnify,hold,
and save harmless the Department and its officers and employees from all claims and liability due to the
acts or omissions of the Subgrantee, its agents,or employees. The Subgrantee also agrees,to the extent
permitted by law, to indemnify,hold, and save harmless the Department from any and all expenses,
including but not limited to attorney fees, all court costs and awards for damages incurred by the
Department in litigation or otherwise resisting such claims or liabilities as a result of any activities of the

protect, indemnify, and save harmless the Department from and against all claims, demands, and causes
of action of every kind and character brought by any employee of the Subgrantee against the Department
due to personal injuries or death to such employee resulting from any alleged negligent act,by either
commission or omission on the part of the Subgrantee.
If the Subgrantee is a government entity,both parties to this Agreement agree that no party is an agent,
servant, or employee of the other party and each party agrees it is responsible for its individual acts and
deeds, as well as the acts and deeds of its contractors,employees,representatives,and agents.
ARTICLE 10. DISPUTES AND REMEDIES
This Agreement supercedes any prior oral or written agreements. If a conflict arises between this
Agreement and the Traffic Safety Program Manual,this Agreement shall govern.

thereof, have the right at all reasonable times to inspect or otherwise evaluate the work performed or
being performed hereunder and the premises in which it is being performed.
If any inspection or evaluation is made on the premises of the Subgrantee or its subcontractor,the
Subgrantee shall provide and require its subcontractor to provide all reasonable facilities and assistance
for the safety and convenience of the inspectors in the performance of their duties. All inspections and
evaluations shall be performed in such a manner as will not unduly delay the work.
ARTICLE 13. AUDIT
The Subgrantee shall comply with the requirements of the Single Audit Act of 1984, Public Law(PL) 98-
502, ensuring that the single audit report includes the coverage stipulated in OMB Circular A-133,

The state auditor may conduct an audit or investigation of any entity receiving funds from the state
directly under this Agreement or indirectly through a subcontract under this Agreement. Acceptance of
funds directly under this Agreement or indirectly through a subcontract under this Agreement acts as
acceptance of the authority of the State Auditor,under the direction of the legislative audit committee,to
conduct an audit or investigation in connection with those funds.
ARTICLE 14. SUBCONTRACTS

Operational Plan Instructions
I. Instructions
The goal of the Operational Plan is to assist agencies in defining roadways and locations where enforcement
efforts should be concentrated. The Operational Plan is to be completed by the Subgrantee (STEP agency)
and submitted as an attachment to the eGrants proposal. Contact your local TxDOT District Traffic Safety
Specialist if you have any questions or need clarification regarding these instructions.
Site Type and Identifier: List the STEP enforcement component to be worked (ex. Speed, DWI, OP or ITC)
and the site identifier (ex. A, B, C, 1, 2, 3). A site may be labeled as an entire sector or patrol district (ex.
Sector A, District C).
Site Description: This is a description of the location(s) to be worked.
• Speed Site: Identify the specific roadway(s) where speed enforcement will be conducted. Include the
name of the roadway, approximate length in miles and speed limits.
• Occupant Protection Site: Identify the site description as jurisdiction-wide.
• Intersection Traffic Control Site: Identify the specific intersection(s) that will receive increased
enforcement.
• DWI Site: Identify the site as jurisdiction-wide, or as a specific sector or patrol district. The
enforcement effort must be focused at locations where there is an over-representation of alcohol-related
crashes and/or DWI arrests. Subgrantees must maintain and analyze crash data to justify the locations
that warrant increased DWI enforcement. Note: If DWI sites are listed as specific sectors or patrol
districts, the Subgrantee must describe the site's boundaries or indicate "See Attached Map".
Survey Results: List compliance rates for occupant protection and speed sites if applicable. Speed
enforcement must be conducted at sites that have less than 50% compliance, as determined by speed
surveys, or at sites with compliance rates of 50% or more that have been pre-approved by TxDOT.
Additional documentation, such as crash data, will be required to show that these sites warrant increased
enforcement.
Note: Survey tools, worksheets, and instructions can be found on the Buckle Up Texas Website at:
http://www.buckleuptexas.corn.
Enforcement Period: List hours of enforcement. The enforcement period is the range of time in which
enforcement may be conducted. Hours listed on each officer's activity sheet must coincide with the hours
listed on the Operational Plan. Any hours outside of those listed may not be counted as STEP activity,
unless indicated as an exception in the Terms, Conditions and Responsibilities. Note: Occupant
Protection STEP enforcement may be conducted during daytime and/or nighttime hours.
Examples: For Speed — Daily, Monday through Sunday, 6:00 A.M.—8:00 P.M.

Subject
Hold a Public Hearing and consider, and act upon, amending the zoning from SF-10/24 to SF-10/24 with a
Specific Use Permit (SUP) for an Amateur Communication Tower on an existing residential lot, located at 606
Grassy Glen Drive. Zoning Case 2007-07
Recommendation
Motion to amend the zoning from SF-10/24 to SF-10/24 with a Specific Use Permit (SUP) for an Amateur
Communication Tower on an existing residential lot, located at 606 Grassy Glen Drive. Zoning Case 2007-07
Discussion
Owner: Mr. Tracy Griffin Applicant: Mr. Tracy Griffin
The subject property is located at 606 Grassy Glen Drive, originally platted in May 2000, the pie-shaped 11,000
square feet lot was zoned SF-3 at that time. November 2001 city-wide amendments to the Zoning Ordinance
rezoned the property to Single Family-10/24 District (SF-10/24). A two-story, 2,400 square foot single family
house was built in late 2001.
The applicant proposes to construct a forty (40) foot Amateur Communication Tower to be erected adjacent to
the far northeast corner of the existing two-story house on the property. The house is approximately twenty-six
feet in height. The tower will extend fourteen (14) feet above the house. The base of the tower will be set back
twenty-seven (27) feet from the rear and side property lines. The Zoning Ordinance requires a Specific Use
Permit (SUP) for amateur communications tower within the SF-10/24 zoning district. An SUP provides a
means of oversight and evaluation by the Commission and City Council of certain uses as to its probable effects
upon adjacent properties and the community's welfare by assuring appropriateness and compatibility with
surrounding land uses.
The Zoning Ordinance defines amateur communications tower as an antenna that transmits amateur radio
(HAM), citizens band, or both spectrums, and that receives any portion of a radio spectrum. Federal
regulations, specifically the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) control the operations and licensing
of individual amateur radio operators.
Although FCC & State regulations prohibit local governments from complete restrictions/prohibitions regarding
amateur radio operators; federal rules allow local governments to exercise acceptable health, safety and
Page 1 of 2
Page 2 of 2
aesthetic considerations within local ordinances and regulations.
The Zoning Ordinance limits are as follows:
• One amateur communications tower per site.
• Maximum two (2) antenna mounted on one tower
• Maximum 900 square feet for single antenna and 1,400 for two antennae.
• No portion may encroach into required front, side or rear yard.
• Tower may not exceed seventy-five (75) feet in height.
Over—air transmission and receptions are governed by FCC regulations; although the possible local interference
impacts should be considered in evaluating this request if imposition of regulations is deemed reasonable.
Surrounding properties north, south, and east are zoned SF-10/24 and have been developed for single family
residential uses. (Harvest Bend Subdivision) The immediate larger property to the west is zoned SF-10/24, with
a fairly large metal barn occupying the center of the tract.
The location of the applicant's lot within the subdivision and placement of the base of the proposed tower
within the required side and rear setback yards lends itself from objectionable influences towards surrounding
properties. In addition, the potential value of regional radio operators in time of emergencies to assist in
offering alternative communication links can be a consideration.
The Planning & Zoning Commission voted to recommend approval of the request 5-0.
Notification/Responses: Eighteen (18) notifications were mailed, with no written response returned favoring
the request and no response opposing the request at the time of posting. One citizen spoke in favor of the
request.
