abandon the right-of-way, it will allow the applicant to increase the overall square footage of his building.

WORK SESSION
• Wylie Recreation Center Operations Budget Assessment-Parks and Recreation Board
Update
Robert Diaz, Parks and Recreation Superintendent and Matt Rose, Parks and Recreation Board
Chair addressed Council, presenting an evaluation of the recommendations presented by
Ballard-King, Recreation Consultant, at the September 23, 2014 work session. At that
September 2014 work session the Council directed staff to prioritize the recommended changes
in categories of "can do" and "want to do" as part of their evaluation. Superintendent Diaz
explained how staff worked with a Parks and Recreation Board to form a subcommittee to begin
the evaluation process and then how the full Board reviewed those findings. The evaluation
process took multiple meetings and in the end resulted in a list of recommendations and a
sample of some fee options. The consultant recommendations that were discussed with
Council were:
• Hiring a full-time Front Desk Manager and adjust other full-time staff
responsibilities accordingly.
• Develop a 5 year prioritized capital improvement plan.
• Drop credit card surcharge for online program registration, revamp 1-month
membership fees with family option, fee increase of 5% every 2 years, and
consider elimination of resident/non-resident fee.
The Council asked various questions about the recommendations and the fee options presented
to them. Mayor Hogue asked Council members for some direction for staff. Council consensus
was that the recommendations presented overall were good and they appreciated the efforts of
the Board and staff. Regarding fees specifically, Council provided staff with the following
direction:
• Eliminate the credit card charge levied on users for on-line registrations.
• Fees should remain the same—no fee increase at this time.
• Increase the proposed household four-pack to a household six-pack, i.e., a
household membership can include up to six members of the same household.
Staff will follow this direction and incorporate the necessary fee revisions into an agenda item
for consideration by Council in the near future.
• Discuss the proposed Great Texas Magic Festival of Wylie, TX proposed to take place
October 26-30,2015
Dal Sanders, representing the Society of American Magicians, Dallas Chapter, presented a
short report requesting City support for a proposed Great Texas Magic Festival of Wylie, TX to
take place the week of October 26-30, 2015. He explained some of the events that would be
provided. He requested no funding for the event just support with regard to staff time to
facilitate some of the advertising and event planning.
Direction from Council was to move forward with plans for the event with the support of the
Council.
