(G. Hayes, Purchasing)
Staff Comments
Finance Director Bantz addressed Council stating that previously, the General Motors
Corporation/Chevrolet Division had made a business decision to significantly reduce the production of
pursuit rated Tahoe vehicles. This had eliminated the availability of dealer on-the-lot inventories and
created a nation-wide allocation system. Reliable Chevrolet has recently been given authorization by
General Motors to purchase inventory units, and has two (2) units on the lot and additional units on order
(deadline for current model year is June 2016). If the City chooses to wait until the new fiscal year, the
ordering for new models will not open until December 2016, thus delaying delivery into April 2017.
Council Action
A motion was made by Councilwoman Arrington, seconded by Mayor pro tern Stephens to
authorize the purchase of eight (8) Chevrolet PPV Patrol Tahoe units from Reliable Chevrolet in
the estimated amount of$285,000, through a cooperative agreement with Tarrant County; and
authorizing the City Manager to sign any necessary documents. A vote was taken and the

3. Consider, and act upon, Resolution No. 2016-11(R) directing Oncor Electric Delivery
Company, LLC to file certain information with the City of Wylie; setting a procedural
schedule for the gathering and review of necessary information in connection therewith;
setting dates for the filing of the city's analysis of the company's filing and the company's
rebuttal to such analysis; ratifying the hiring of legal counsel and consultants; reserving the
right to require the reimbursement of the City of Wylie's rate case expenses; setting a public
hearing for the purposes of determining if the existing rates of Oncor Electric Delivery
Company are unreasonable or in any way in violation of any provision of law and the
determination by the City of Wylie of just and reasonable rates to be charged by Oncor
Electric Delivery Company, LLC.; noting compliance with open meetings law; providing
notice of passage. (M.Manson, City Manager)
Staff Comments
City Manager Manson addressed Council stating that the recent Public Utility Commission of Texas
("Commission") proceedings related to approval of conversion of Oncor into a Real Estate Investment
Trust ("REIT") resulted in the Commissioners' desire to share $200 million to $250 million in annual
federal income tax ("FIT") savings with Oncor ratepayers. Since the proceeding involving a change of
ownership and control of Oncor was not a rate case, the Commission had no jurisdiction to order a
reduction in rates. The new owners of Oncor indicated intent to file a rate case in mid-2017 to become
effective in 2018. Believing that a two year wait to factor FIT savings into rates was too long to wait, the
Steering Committee of Cities Served by Oncor decided to initiate a rate case against Oncor. The
attorneys for the Coalition of Member Cities requested that each city take action and adopt the attached
resolution.
Council Action
A motion was made by Councilman Whitney, seconded by Councilwoman Arrington to adopt
Resolution No. 2016-11(R) directing Oncor Electric Delivery Company, LLC to file certain
information with the City of Wylie; setting a procedural schedule for the gathering and review of
necessary information in connection therewith; setting dates for the filing of the city's analysis of
the company's filing and the company's rebuttal to such analysis; ratifying the hiring of legal
counsel and consultants; reserving the right to require the reimbursement of the City of Wylie's
rate case expenses; setting a public hearing for the purposes of determining if the existing rates
of Oncor Electric Delivery Company are unreasonable or in any way in violation of any provision
of law and the determination by the City of Wylie of just and reasonable rates to be charged by
Oncor Electric Delivery Company, LLC.; noting compliance with open meetings law; providing
notice of passage. A vote was taken and the motion passed 7-0.

WORK SESSIONS
• Work session and direction regarding possible parking restrictions for portions of
the Cimarron Estates Subdivision due to Wylie East Student parking. (M.
Manson, City Manager)
Minutes April 26, 2016
Wylie City Council
Page 4
City Manager Manson addressed Council stating that both the City and the WISD have received
numerous complaints from residents of Cimarron Estates, primarily those living on Palmdale
Drive, regarding WEHS students parking on their street. In addition to the parking, residents are
concerned about students gathering, littering, speeding, parking illegally, and possible drug
activity. The WISD cannot force students to park on school property and some of these
students, through other actions, may have lost their right to park on school property.
Manson reported several options are available including taking no action, adopting an ordinance
prohibiting parking during certain hours, and adopting an ordinance permitting resident-only
parking. Resident-only parking requires a system to document/register the residents and
issuing some sort of decal or permit to display. Staff has obtained samples of resident-only
parking ordinances utilized by Highland Park and University Park, a summary of which is
attached.
Mayor Hogue asked for WISD assistance in rectifying the situation.
Council gave direction, asking staff to provide an ordinance restricting parking in the Cimarron
Estates Subdivision from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. during school days. Council also requested
staff to provide a process for permitting cars belonging to residents and commercial vehicles, for
further discussion and consideration.
• Work session and direction regarding identifying possible priority
highway/freeway projects contained in the Mobility 2040 Transportation Plan.
(M.Manson, City Manager)
City Engineer Chris Hoisted addressed Council stating that Collin County cities received
correspondence from the Regional Transportation Council (RTC) requesting that each city
identify their top three priority highway/freeway projects contained in the Mobility 2040
Transportation Plan. He presented a map with the priorities identified by the Collin County
Commissioners Court and excerpts from the Mobility 2040 Plan. Hoisted noted SH 78 and
Highway 380 were focuses within the plan. He requested direction regarding Council priorities
of the identified projects.
Council direction was for staff to bring back a resolution in support of the above plan for
consideration at a future meeting.
• Work session to discuss the impact of the April 11th storm. (M. Manson, City
Manager)

Hail Storm. She reported the damage assessment continues and staff will meet with the State
