Staff Comments
Development Services Director 011ie addressed Council stating that at its work session held February 9,
2016, the City Council directed Staff to draft an ordinance that would put into place requirements that
govern the circulation of air flow in restaurants that choose to allow smoking. All new food service
establishments must declare whether it will allow smoking within the facility. If smoking is allowed, it must
dedicate separate smoking and non-smoking areas. Declared smoking areas shall install Designated
Smoking Area Independent Ventilation systems (DSAIV) as a method to prevent the movement of smoke
from designated areas to nonsmoking areas.
011ie explained that this legislation would be grandfathered for any business that currently allowed
smoking, however if a business currently did not allow smoking and wanted to allow smoking, the
requirements in this ordinance would have to be met. She noted that letters explaining the new
requirements would go out to all existing restaurants and food establishments.
Councilman Whitney commented that he believed this regulation was another overreach by government
on businesses and added another overhead for businesses in Wylie who chose to allow smoking.
Council Action
A motion was made by Councilman Dahl, seconded by Councilman Forrester to approve
Ordinance No. 2016-28 amending Chapter 74 Offenses And Miscellaneous Provisions, Adding

Staff Comments
Wylie Economic Development Corporation Executive Director Sam Satterwhite addressed Council stating
that the WEDC Board of Directors met on October 28, 2016 and approved the attached Resolution which
authorizes the borrowing of$2,000,000 from The American National Bank of Texas and the pledging of
the WEDC 1/2 cent sales tax for economic development as collateral for the repayment of the same. The
loan proceeds will be used to fund the purchase of 4.79-acres from Dallas Whirlpools, Ltd.
Satterwhite explained the Dallas Whirlpools property, located at 908 West Kirby, was initially targeted by
the WEDC for acquisition to complement an adjacent 4.79-acre tract owned by the City of Wylie. The
relative narrow width of the City tract (239') and the Dallas Whirlpools tract (243') would be difficult to
develop independently. Of further benefit to the redevelopment effort, the WEDC owns 2.7 acres on
Commerce Street which is adjacent and to the west of the Dallas Whirlpools tract. The WEDC anticipates
master-planning the three tracts to support pad development fronting 544 and office/flex space to the rear
of the site. It is further contemplated that an access easement can be platted from 544 and Business Way
could be extended east from Commerce Street creating enhanced ingress/egress to support new
commercial development.
Council Action
A motion was made by Councilman Whitney, seconded by Mayor pro tem Stephens to approve
Resolution No. 2016-30(R) authorizing and approving WEDC Resolution 2016-01(R) adopted
by the Board of Directors of the Wylie Economic Development Corporation authorizing a loan in
the aggregate amount of$2,000,000 from The American National Bank of Texas and pledging
the '/2 cent sales tax for economic development as collateral to secure the repayment of said
loan. A vote was taken and the motion passed 5-0 with Councilwoman Culver and
Councilwoman Arrington absent
5. Consider, and act upon, Ordinance No. 2016-29, an Ordinance of the City Council of the
City of Wylie, Texas, amending Wylie's Code of Ordinances, Ordinance No. 2005-07, as
amended, Appendix C (Wylie Comprehensive Fee Schedule), Section I (Water and Sewer
Fees), Subsection 0 (Penalty) and Section 2-3 (Fee for using credit/debit card to purchase
city services) of Article 1 (in general) of Chapter 2 (administration) to remove provisions
requiring the assessment of a fee for the processing of a payment by credit or debit card and
the assessment of a fee for the acceptance of such payment online; authorizing the
acceptance of payment by credit or debit card of fees,fines,court costs or other charges and
authorizing the collection of a service charge if,for any reason,a payment by credit or debit
card is not honored; providing for a penalty for the violation of this ordinance; providing
for repealing, savings and severability clauses; providing for an effective date of this
ordinance; and providing for the publication of the caption of this Ordinance. (L. Bantz,
Finance Director)
Staff Comments
Finance Director Bentz addressed Council stating that to provide a better service level for our utility billing
and municipal court customers; staff is proposing the City Council consider implementing an advanced
account access and online payment system. The current utility billing online access only allows a
customer to submit a payment and they must know the dollar amount to pay. The new online system
would allow utility billing customers to see current amount owed in addition to prior account history of
water usage, charges and payments, and usage graphs. The court does not currently accept online
payments. The additional services included for those customers would enable them to make certain
payments online. Examples are attached showing the new information that would be available for our
customers to access if this is implemented. 111

Bantz explained that currently there is a $3.00 fee charged for in person/telephone credit/debit card
payments and a $1.75 fee charged for online payments. Staff is proposing that credit card fees be paid
as an operating cost as part of the City's budget. State law prohibits the City from charging more than 5%
of the transaction amount as a fee. We are anxious to provide more online services to significantly
improve our services to our customers. This will make these payments more convenient for our
customers thus increasing our collections of amounts owed to the City.
Cost to the Utility Fund for these fees for improved services for utility billing customers were largely
included in the water and sewer rate study the Council discussed on July 26, 2016. The new rate
structure includes fees of approximately $100,000 for the City to absorb the costs for online utility billing
payments. An additional cost of $40,000 would be experienced for the City to absorb fees for in
person/telephone credit/debit card payments. Cost to the General Fund would be approximately$50,000.
Attached is a survey we did of our peer cities which shows that the majority do not charge these fees to
their utility billing customers and a high percentage do not charge in the court. Earlier in 2016 the City
began absorbing credit/debit card fees for cards used at the Recreation Center and saw a very positive
response. City departments are also being asked to review other fees as part of an overall fee review.
Council Action
A motion was made by Mayor pro tem Stephens, seconded by Councilman Whitney to approve
Ordinance No. 2016-29 amending Subsection 0 (Penalty) of Section 1 (Water and Sewer Fees)
of the Wylie Comprehensive Fee Schedule, and Section 2-3 (Fee for using credit/debit card to
purchase city services) of Article 1 (in general) and of Chapter 2 (administration) as provided for
in Agenda Item #5. A vote was taken and the motion passed 5-0 with Councilwoman Culver
and Councilwoman Arrington absent
6. Consider, and act upon,Resolution No. 2016-31(R) of the City Council of the City of Wylie,
Texas, authorizing the purchase of EMONEY® Credit & Debit processing services from
ETS Corporation for the Utility Billing and Courts departments,as a sole source purchase in
the estimated annual amount of$80,000 and authorizing the City Manager to execute any
necessary documents. (G. Hayes. Purchasing)
Staff Comments
Finance Director Bantz addressed Council stating that as internet technology, security and ease of use
becomes more prevalent for Wylie citizens, the Finance Department has been planning for the expansion
of payment services for the Utility Billing and Courts Departments. The expansion methodology must
provide a seamless interface with the City's financial system (Incode) and its banking partner(JP Morgan
Chase), as well as provide easy to use screens for citizens. After researching companies approved by
Incode, Staff selected ETS Corporation,the sole source provider of EMONEY®Credit& Debit processing
services, as providing the best fit and solution.
