• Hold a Joint Work Session with the Wylie Economic Development Corporation (WEDC)
Board of Directors to discuss issues surrounding the establishment of a Municipal Setting
"AIM Designation for property owned by the Wylie Economic Development Corporation located
at 605 Commerce Drive. (J. Butters, Asst. City Manager and S. Satterwhite, WEDC Director)
Sam Satterwhite, Executive Director of the Wylie Economic Development Corporation,
addressed the WEDC Board and the Wylie City Council. Satterwhite explained that the WEDC
had been working with W&M Environmental (W&M) to perform environmental assessments and
to advise and conduct remediation of any contaminants found on property located at 605
Commerce Drive. The property was adversely impacted by a dry cleaning business in the early
1990's by the improper storage and utilization of dry cleaning solvents. It was summarized that
the WEDC had enrolled in the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) Voluntary
Clean Up Program (VCP) and that W&M has identified the creation of a Municipal Setting
Designation (MSD) as an opportunity to put the property back in production under a State
program which offers a more cost effect remediation option.
Satterwhite introduced Mr. Frank Clark, Senior Analyst with W&M Environmental, who
presented issues surrounding the MSD program. Mr. Clark indicated that MSD's create a
process by which deed restrictions are placed on a specific property under which drinking water
cannot be utilized. Being that most water within the City of Wylie is treated by the North Texas
Municipal Water District this is not an onerous requirement. Under the MSD process there can
be significant complications should there be operational water wells within a certain distance
from the impacted area. However, State records reflect that only one well has been identified in
the area and it is the opinion of W&M that this well has not been active for some time.
Following the presentation, the Wylie City Council directed City and WEDC staff to proceed with
the necessary steps to apply MSD status to the property located at 605 Commerce Drive. Staff
indicated that an Ordinance would be presented to Council in the near future.
• Hold a Joint Work Session with the Wylie Economic Development Corporation (WEDC)
Board of Directors to discuss the redevelopment of±1.04 acre owned by the WEDC located
on Jackson Street between Oak& Marble. (S. Satterwhite, WEDC Director)
Sam Satterwhite, Executive Director of the Wylie Economic Development Corporation,
addressed the WEDC Board and the Wylie City Council. Mr. Satterwhite explained that with the
purchase of the Bart Peddicord Center and the City parking lot last December, the WEDC now
owns an approximate one acre tract with the boundaries of Marble Street to the north, Jackson
to the west, Oak to the south, and the Ballard Street alley to the east.
Satterwhite introduced Kelly McCarthy, President of McCarthy & Associates Architecture, who
presented three concepts for possible development of the property. Each concept identified a
multi-story building with office/retail space on the first floor and multi-family lofts on the
additional 2-3 stories. On-site parking options would include dedicated spaces on the second
and third story as well as head in parking on Jackson, Oak, and Marble. Additional parking and
a service lane would be underneath and to the rear of the structure.
McCarthy indicated that the concepts were not created to show a final design, but more to
identify commercial and residential capacity and potential parking deficiencies.

Following the presentation, Council and the WEDC Board members discussed the need to
ensure that the historical feel of downtown area of Wylie is preserved and emphasized that any
development should be beneficial to and involve input from legacy businesses in downtown
Wylie and the Wylie Merchants Association. Staff agreed and reiterated that this project was in
the beginning stages and there are numerous challenges still to be addressed including traffic
flow, height restrictions, emergency access, overhead utilities, and interest by the development
community.
Mindy Manson suggested that because of the impact this project will have to our downtown, it
may be prudent to send out an RFQ to planning firms experienced with the above identified
issues. Council and the WEDC Board directed staff to proceed with the planning process and
include the downtown stakeholders as soon as possible.
ADJOURNMENT OF JOINT WORK SESSION
With no further business before the WEDC Board, Chair Fuller adjourned the joint work session
at 7:30 p.m.
Mayor Hogue convened the Wylie City Council into a Council Work Session at 7:32 p.m.
WORK SESSION
• Discussion regarding Wylie Fire Rescue's Standard Operating Guidelines Response Policy
3.1.5.3. (B. Parker, Fire Chief)
Fire Chief Brent Parker addressed Council stating that the fire service has recognized not all
calls for service require a code three response. Wylie Fire Rescue's goal is to provide the
appropriate piece of equipment and personnel to the emergency, as quickly as possible, while
ensuring the safety of our responders and citizens. Over the past 10 years, the fire service
began using a priority dispatch system and incorporated emergency medical dispatching (EMD)
to provide the appropriate response level for fire units.
Parker reported WFR has monitored recent fire service experiments and policy changes in
different areas of the country and State. WFR has also reviewed policy and procedural changes
of other departments, while at the same time reviewing our own practices and experiences.
Through this review of our own emergency responses, WFR has recognized the need to modify
City response levels and would like to establish a Standard Operating Guideline (SOG)
#3.1.5.3. The SOG will establish the purpose, policy, and procedure to recognize correct
emergency response levels in the City of Wylie for fire and medical response. He explained the
focus remains on our response times and exceeding our customer's expectations; however, the
new model may increase response times.
The priority response model sends a combination of ambulances and fire apparatus based on
the nature of the emergency. The priority levels in the model determine if the apparatus should
respond code three (lights and sirens) or code one (normal driving). Since WFR contracts
patient transport, there are some checks and balances in place to ensure our level of service is
being maintained. WFR modified the traditional priority response model to fit these needs.

Over the past year, we have authorized the captains and battalion chiefs to alter their response
level based on call notes from dispatch and their own experiences. Although this is a policy,
Wylie Fire Rescue will continue to recognize the experience of our telecommunicators and fire
officers to make sound decisions on their response level and WFR will continue to make every
effort to exceed citizen expectations.
