The tax rate is broken down with $0.611583 being used for operations and maintenance and $0.257317 being used to fund the General Debt Service Fund.

Consider,and act upon,approval of Ordinance No.2015-32 amending Subsection B(Water Rates) and Subsection C (Sewage Collection and Treatment Rates)of Section 1 (Water and Sewer Fees)of the Wylie Comprehensive Fee Schedule. (C. Hoisted, City Engineer) Staff Comments City Engineer Hoisted addressed Council stating that on August 27, 2013 Council held a work session to discuss the water and sewer rate study prepared by McLain Decision Support Systems. Financing Scenario 2 was selected which includes a small annual increase in the rates. The study incorporated the water and sewer capital improvements plan (CIP), outstanding debt service, the proposed wholesale water rate increases from the North Texas Municipal Water District, the transfer to the general fund, and the expansion of the Public Works Service Center. Hoisted noted the 2015/2016 budget reflects the increase recommended. Hoisted explained that in the new study it is anticipated that water rate increases may be even higher due to water conservation by citizens over the past drought and the payments by cities for water to NTMWD. City Manager Manson explained that different cities increase or pass on water rates increases differently with some absorbing the increases by NTMWD for a time. The difficulty with doing that is when they do make their water rate increases they are raising them significantly. Councilwoman Arrington asked what the increase was. Hoisted explained it was a 4% increase due to the study and a 5% pass-through increase from North Texas Municipal Water District fees to the City. Arrington asked what the normal citizen would see in the way of an increase on their water bill. Hoisted reported for a billing of$30 for water usage,the citizen would see approximately$1.50 increase. Council Action A motion was made by Councilman Wintters, seconded by Councilman Dahl to amend Subsection B (Water Rates) and Subsection C (Sewage Collection and Treatment Rates) of Section 1 (Water and Sewer Fees) of the Wylie Comprehensive Fee Schedule. A vote was taken and the motion passed 7-0.

WORK SESSION • Discuss the Park Boulevard and Forrest Ross intersection alignment options. (C. Hoisted, City Engineer) City Engineer Hoisted addressed Council stating that staff wished to get input from Council regarding the intersection alignment options for the future Park Boulevard extension and the Forrest Ross intersection. Staff met on August 28th with Collin County, Half Associates, the NTMWD, and the USACOE to discuss the alignment options and receive comments. Hoisted reviewed the options below and asked for direction from Council. FR1 — Provides for a consolidated park space in accordance with City of Wylie conceptual park documents. Creates good intersection geometry and increases contiguous NTMWD property. FR2 — (Least expensive option) Maintains existing Forrest Ross alignment; however, the skew at the intersection is not desirable. The Trinity Trailhead Corral entrance must be moved directly off Park Blvd. FR3 — Requires realignment of the Park entrance road. The Trinity Trailhead Corral entrance must be moved to directly off Park Blvd. FR4—(Most costly option) Forrest Ross would separate USACOE property form the City owned property. Direction from Council was to further research FR1 that possibly includes an entrance to Eastfork City Park with signage.
