Mr.Thompson explained the area in which the final plat for Wylie Independent School District,Wylie Junior High
School #3 would be placed and the road involved in this new construction. Mayor Pro Tern Hogue asked Mr.
Thompson if the school were built today, would they have two points of access. Mr. Thompson replied yes they
would. Mr. Thompson stated that Hensley may need to be relocated. Mayor Pro Tern Hogue then asked who
would pay for this. City Engineer Holsted stated that if the road was required due to the construction, WISD
would be responsible. Mayor Mondy asked if any schools had been built in Wylie without traffic issues. Mr.
Holsted stated all schools built thus far had some traffic problems. Mayor Mondy asked if WISD would come
back and resurface Hooper. Mr. Holsted stated that WISD would be required to provide two lanes of concrete
along their frontage of future Country Club but not Hooper Road. Mayor Pro Tern Hogue asked when they were
planning to start construction of the Junior High. Mr. Holsted stated immediately upon approval of the final plat.

Staff Comments
Finance Director Williamson addressed Council stating that the purpose of the public hearing on August 30,2005,
was to give the taxpayers an opportunity to express their views on the proposed budget. At the end of the hearing,
the City Council scheduled and announced the meeting to adopt the proposed budget set for tonight, September
13, 2005 at 6:00 p.m. at City Council Chambers, Wylie Municipal Complex, 2000 Highway 78 North, Wylie,
Texas 75098. Mr. Williamson asked Council to consider and adopt the proposed FY 2005-2006 Budget as
presented.
Council Action
A motion was made by Mayor Pro Tem Hogue, seconded by Councilman Newsom to approve
Ordinance No 2005-41 of the City of Wylie Texas, adopting a budget and appropriating resources for
Fiscal Year 2005-2006, beginning October 1, 2005 and ending September 30, 2006. A vote was taken
and passed 7-0.
3. Consider and act upon Ordinance No. 2005-42 fixing the tax rate/levy for 2005 and for the
fiscal year 2005-2006 Budget. The tax rate proposed is sixty-nine and one-half cents ($0.695)
per$100 of assessed value. (L. Williamson, Finance Director)
Staff Comments
Finance Director Williamson addressed Council stating that the City has held two public hearings on the tax rate
so that citizens could voice their concerns or comments to the City Council. SB 18 also required specific new
language in the ordinance and to be in larger type than the rest of the ordinance. This tax ordinance will generate
new levies of$8,838,323 in the General Fund and$2,092,662 in the General Obligation Debt Service Fund. The
revenue from the ad valorem taxes is the primary source of funding in the General Fund and represents
approximately 56% of total General Fund revenues. Finance Director Williamson recognized Karla Stovall,
Budget Officer for her hard work assisting with the 2005-2006 Budget preparation.
Council Discussion
Councilman Young stated that he had concerns with the $0.695 tax rate. He proposed to set the rate at$0.650 per
$100 of appraised value, still allowing enough to cover $175,000 to expend to Katrina victims and still leave a
surplus. He also mentioned that the Capital Program/Improvements for the past 5 years was not included in the
budget referenced in the City Charter. (Article VII, Section 5 paragraph 3). Mayor Mondy explained that each
department had a five year master plan incorporating these Capital Programs. Finance Director Williamson
explained that the 5 year Capital Improvement Plan was built into the annual budget. Mayor Mondy explained
that part of the reasoning behind leaving the tax rate of$0.695 was to accommodate expenditures like the animal
shelter improvements that are mandated by law. Councilman Young stated that he just did not want to see surplus
money in the budget. Mayor Mondy stated that a strong surplus(fund balance)allowed the City to borrow money
at a much better bond rate and was a benefit to the taxpayers. City Manager Roath explained that expenditures set

in the budget previously approved tonight, included large expenditures for such items as the animal shelter
improvements and included an 18%surplus which was very close to the recommended amount(15%)to be held in
surplus.
Council Action
A motion was made by Councilman Newsom, seconded by Mayor Pro Tern Hogue to move; that the
property taxes be increased by the adoption of a tax rate of$0.695 per $100 of property value and to
approve Ordinance #2005-42. A vote was taken and passed 7-0 with Mayor Mondy, Mayor Pro Tem
Hogue, Councilwoman Allen, Councilman Newsom, Councilman Young, Councilman White, and

Williamson stated that two lending institutions were contacted, but only one lending institution responded to the
request for bid(American National Bank). Mayor Mondy then asked Mr. Williamson what the previous rate was
for bonds. Mr. Williamson stated that some of the material he had reviewed from the 1999 bond issues was
around the 4.5% to 5.5%. He also explained that it was at his suggestion that American National Bank lower the
rate to the 4.55%. He explained that most banks do not want to commit to an interest rate as low as 4.55%over a
10 year period.He stated that it was a very competitive rate and beneficial to the City.
Council Action
A motion was made by Mayor Pro Tern Hogue, seconded by Councilman Newsom to approve
Ordinance#2005-43 approving and authorizing the execution and delivery of$2,110,000 "City of Wylie

Williamson, Finance Director)
Staff Comments
Minutes—September 13,2005
Wylie City Council
Page 5
Finance Director Williamson addressed Council stating that over the last couple of months the Water Division has
been working on a State required water audit. The purpose of this audit, among other things, is to determine the
amount of water loss being experienced in our system from leaks and meter error. Meter error is the amount a
water meter is off in registering a certain volume of water.
Mr. Williamson explained that in order to determine meter error, the Water Division randomly pulled 50
residential meters from around the City and performed a bench test on each meter. The 50 meters were selected
because 50 were statistically representative. The test ran 10 gallons of water through each meter at low, medium
and high flow rates. The results were tabulated. The test results indicated that at the low flow rate, the meters on
average were registering only 45% of the water passing through the meters; at medium and high flow rates only
97%. We used these readings and statistical usage flow rates to calculate the amount of water that was being
delivered to our customers, but was not being billed due to meter error. The number of gallons being lost due to
meter error is calculated at 46,033,637 gallons. With an average retail price of$3.55 per 1,000 gallons, the City
has been losing approximately$163,500 annually in water revenue as a result of this meter error.
Council Discussion
Mayor Mondy asked how staff would communicate the increase in water billing to the accuracy of the new meters.
Mr. Williamson stated that for the most part the increase would be minimal for most residents when the increase
was disbursed to all residents.
Council Action
A motion was made by Mayor Pro Tem Hogue, seconded by Councilman Young to approve the
purchase of 8,232 3G radio read Master Meters in the amount of$1,623,387 from Master Meters and
Johnson Lab and Supply. A vote was taken and passed 7-0.
6. Consider and act upon awarding contracts to United Healthcare for employee group medical,
dental and life insurance and to Jefferson Pilot for employee long term disability insurance.
(L. Fagerstrom,Human Resources Manager)
Staff Comments
Human Resource Director Lynn Fagerstrom addressed Council stating that the competitive proposals have been
solicited to provide employee group insurance coverage for the 2006 fiscal year.The RFP instructed the insurance
providers to submit quotes based on the same level of benefits provided under the current P.P.O. medical plan and
the ancillary dental, life and disability policies. Alternate proposals were invited and providers were encouraged to
submit options to reduce costs without materially diminishing the existing level of benefits. United Healthcare,
represented by Wylie Insurance Agency,was the only provider to submit a proposal for group medical insurance.
Council Discussion
Mayor Mondy asked HR Manager Fagerstrom how Workman's Comp played into the insurance. Ms. Fagerstrom
stated that they were two entirely separate policies. Mayor Mondy then asked Ms. Fagerstrom to explain the cost
savings of 25%for Workman's Comp this year. Ms. Fagerstrom explained that over the past three years, the city
has greatly reduced their usage of workman's comp due to the training,prevention and education provided and the
carrier has reduced the rate charged to the City by 25%this year.
Council Action
A motion was made by Councilman Young, seconded by Councilman White to award contracts to
United Healthcare for employee group medical, dental and life insurance and to Jefferson Pilot for
employee long term disability insurance. A vote was taken and passed 7-0.

Staff Comments
City Manager Roath addressed Council stating that the City had taken in many hurricane victims and had used all
the funds allocated through Ordinance #2005-40 in the past few days. He also commented of the pride he had in
both Fire Chief English and staff for their response to the victims over the past week and the long hours they have
put in.
Fire Chief English addressed Council stating that the City Council allocated $100,000 to aide in sheltering
hurricane victims here. He explained that volunteers and staff have put in numerous hours and rallied over 800
volunteers to contribute time, and have collected over $10,000 in Wal-Mart cards for the victims. He explained
that the City had exhausted the funds allocated and was requesting an additional $100,000 to continue with the
effort. Chief English reviewed the costs for overtime and supplies to set up the Armory and keep it running. Chief
English reported that the victims were very appreciative of the assistance the citizens, volunteers, and staff have
provided. He commended new Library Director Rachael Orozco for her assistance in obtaining and tracking over
800 volunteers from Wylie. He stated that the additional funds would be used for police assistance, long term
housing, and other necessary needs. He stated that FEMA had committed to reimburse for all funds expended for

Glendale Drive,Lot 54 of Block A of the Cimarron Estates Phase 2 Addition. ZC 2005-16 (C.
Thompson,Planning& Zoning Director)
Staff Comments
Planning and Zoning Director Thompson addressed Council stating that Twenty-four (24) notifications were
mailed in compliance with State law. Nine (9) written responses have been returned. Eight (8) opposing and one
(1) favoring the request, because owners of more than twenty (20) percent of the legal notification area have
submitted written opposition, the affirmative vote of (6 members) of the Council is required for approval. Mr.
Thompson stated that the antenna would not be visible from the street and would be 14 feet in height.
Transmissions would not be hampered by this tower. Mr. Thompson explained that the Federal Communications
Commission(FCC) ultimately controls the operation of individual amateur communications, as well as the limits
which local governments may restrict such operations. Local regulations that involve the placement, screening or
height of antennas based on acceptable health, safety and aesthetic considerations must also be crafted to
reasonably accommodate amateur communications. Amateur radio is a public service and aids in times of
emergency.
Council Discussion
Mayor Mondy asked how many towers currently had been approved. Mr. Thompson replied that there have been
4 since he has been with the City and 47 households within the City Limits of Wylie have licenses to operate these
radios. He stated that this was one half of one percent of the population in Wylie. He explained that he did not
know how many actual towers exist at this time in Wylie. Mayor Mondy asked if the City could allow one per
subdivision to allow access to communication in times of disaster. Mr.Thompson explained that it might be better
to consider a distance such as the City does for cell towers. Mayor Mondy asked if the City could move toward
this end. He asked Mr. Thompson to present a map, at a later date, showing where the towers are currently
located. Mayor Pro Tem Hogue asked if the applicant was the property owner. Mr. Thompson reported that the
applicant was not the property owner but was the father of the property owner and lived in the residence. Mayor
Pro Tern Hogue voiced his concern regarding the towers adversely affecting the aesthetics of the neighborhood in
areas where trees had not matured to hide the towers.

forward and state their name and address for the record.

couple of years, he had applied and received an SUP from the Wylie City Council for an amateur tower.
He stated that he was speaking on behalf of the applicant regarding the resale of property in and around
his residence with no adverse effect due to the tower. He also mentioned that there had been no
complaints from either adjacent property owners or the FCC since the construction of this tower.
Mr. Chad Tittle residing at 2935 Glendale and within the 200 foot area of the applicant addressed
Council stating that he was very much against the approval of an SUP for this tower. He stated that the
applicant had large trees in his yard but that most of the residents surrounding his property were newly
developed homes with no large trees to hide the looks of the proposed tower. He stated that everyone
(100%) in his neighborhood was fully against this zoning case. He also stated that the tower had a hand
crank to lower the tower when not in use, and he felt that it would be very difficult for the applicant to
operate and lower the tower when not in use.
Applicant Comments
Mr. Cantral Eargle addressed Council stating that he was a 76 year old man who has retired and has
operated amateur radios for the past forty years. He stated that there was a small VHF tower on the
carport which he planned to take down once the SUP for the tower is approved. He stated that if there
was a disaster he would have a generator in place and would be ready to communicate during the
emergency. Councilman Newsom asked which band he would be operating. The applicant stated
mostly 20 bands. Councilman Newsom stated that this band would not interfere with any other
communication device. He stated that he would be cranking the tower down when not in use to prevent
damage to the antenna. Mayor Mondy asked if the applicant owned the property. Mr. Eargle stated that
he was not the property owner but would be residing with his daughter who was the current property
owner.
