Thoroughfare Public Art Projects, Site #1 and Site #2 and authorize the City Manager to
execute two contracts in the amount of $130,000 each, to commission the art pieces. (C.
Ehrlich, City Secretary)
Staff Comments
City Secretary and Public Art Liaison Ehrlich addressed Council stating that the Public Art Advisory Board
issued a Call for Artists for three public art projects funded by the 2005 Thoroughfare Bond projects. Site
#1 and Site#2, located near each end of the Municipal Complex Walking Trails (Country Club Road/FM
544 and West Brown) were funded at $130,000 per site, and Site #3 located at the Disc Golf Park on
West Brown was funded at$52,000.
The board received 57 submissions for these projects and appointed a pare-down committee to review
the submissions and narrow the submissions to 34 artists to move to the next selection process. The
Public Art Advisory Board appointed a 2016 Thoroughfare Selection Committee to review the thirty-four
remaining artists and narrow to 3-4 finalists. Those finalists were invited to the City for a Public Input
Meeting to hear from the public regarding the art for the sites. Committee members included John
Pototschnik, Artist; Lynn Grimes, Public Art Board Chair; Shirley Burnett, longtime citizen of Wylie;
Margaret Robinette, retired Dallas Cultural Arts Administrator; Kathy Spillyards, founding member of the
Public Arts Advisory Board and former Councilwoman; and Mindy Manson, City Manager.
Michael Szabo was unanimously chosen as the final artist for Site #1 and Site #2. The committee and
board felt his proposals Entwine and Prairie Crossing best suited site specific needs and the natural
environment surrounding the area.
Michael Szabo was present and gave a short presentation on both designs for Site #1 and Site #2. He
displayed renderings of day and night viewing of Entwine. He stated that it would be a dramatic beacon
for drivers and pedestrians on FM 544 and Country Club Road. The sculpture is an abstract reference to
the connection point between underground and above ground natural grasses that grew in the Blackland
Prairie, where the Municipal Complex sits. The six forms are fabricated from brushed stainless steel and
rich patina bronze and seem to dance with movements like prairie grasses in the wind. The design takes
from the Big and Little Bluestem and Buffalograss from the untouched prairies of years gone by. (Roots
of the past and sprouts to the future)
Prairie Crossing, Site #2 design, consists of an organic undulating seating bench emerging from a
proposed pathway that would connect the main trail to the new parking lot on East Brown Street near the
entrance to the trails. Szabo stated that ribbons of stainless steel and rich textured bronze arch over the
bench, crisscrossing each other in a dynamic web reaching over 10 feet in height. The ribbon reflects the
chaos of the prairie grass giving visitors the feeling of being "in the prairie." In ground up lights will
illuminate the sculpture at night.
Mayor Hogue asked Mr. Szabo how long the process would take from beginning to end. Mr. Szabo
replied he planned to start as soon as approval was completed and estimated completion in May/June of
2017. Councilwoman Culver asked if Entwine (Site 1) would have soft lighting similar to what is
suggested for Prairie Crossing. Mr. Szabo replied there would be up lighting as well as interior lighting
that would be lit in a way to enhance the piece but would be on the warmer color temperature.
Councilman Forrester asked if there was a 6" step up on the inside of the access, would there be
consideration for ADA access to the piece. Szabo replied it would be ADA compliant either by flattening
the pathway through the piece or installing a path around the piece.

Staff Comments
Public Art Liaison Ehrlich addressed Council stating that Site #3 located at the Disc Golf Park on West
Brown was funded at$52,000. The selection process was the same as Sites 1 and 2. John Davis was
unanimously chosen as the final artist for Site #3. The committee and board felt his proposal "Lift-Off"
best suited site specific needs and the intent of the park.
Ehrlich reported Mr. Davis was not able to attend and staff had included a PowerPoint presentation from
the artist regarding the intent behind the design. Mayor Hogue asked if Mr. Davis was on the same
timeline as Sites 1 and 2. Ehrlich replied that the artist planned to be installed by May/June of 2017.

WORK SESSION
• Hold a work session to discuss the Building Condition Assessment, Program and
Preliminary Project Estimate for the Public Safety Building. (C. Halsted, Asst. City
Manager)
Assistant City Manager Hoisted addressed Council stating that in April 2016, the Public Safety
Building was extensively damaged by a hail storm. Since that time, the building has been
unoccupied and the staff has been relocated to other City buildings. Hoisted reported that TML
Insurance has estimated the total damage to the building at $1,215,000. To date, the City has
received $753,000 and the recoverable depreciation is $462,000. Staff is still working through
the claims and costs associated with the repairs.
Minutes—October 11, 2016
Wylie City Council
Page 6
The City contracted with McCarthy Architecture to provide a Building Condition Assessment
along with the development of the programed space requirements for the police department, fire
department, and the court functions that previously occupied the building. Significant updates
will be required to bring the current facility up to date and into a usable condition. The updates
provide a unique opportunity to reconfigure the existing building so that it can both accommodate
future growth and create more efficiency within and between departments.
Hoisted explained staff had come up with three options for repairs/remodeling of the Public
Safety Building. The first option is to repair the building with the current layout (33,358 sf) and
make some minor improvements and additional repairs to the building at a cost of approximately
$2,700,000 with projected design and FF&E of$600,000.
The second is to rebuild the building and add square footage (50,000 sf) to meet the suggested
programs for police, fire, and court meeting department needs for the next 15 years. The
estimated cost for the remodel/repair would be $7,600,000 and costs for projected design and
FF&E would run approximately$1,000,000.
The third option would be to build a new building at the Municipal Complex on Country Club
Drive at an estimated cost of $20,000,000 and projected design and FF&E costs running
approximately $5,000,000. This option also meets the needs of future growth of the
departments.
Hoisted explained the projected cost numbers presented are preliminary estimates and both the
construction cost and financing cost will adjust as staff and Council proceed through the process.
He asked Council for direction with regard to which option to explore. Direction from Council was
to explore option#2 and find cost savings to lower the overall costs if possible.

A motion was made by Councilman Whitney, seconded by Councilman Forrester to adjourn the
