the west right-of-way of Ballard Avenue in the Russell #1 Addition. (M. Mattson, Assistant City
Manager)
Staff Comments
Planning&Zoning Director Manson addressed Council stating that the South Collin County Habitat for Humanity, owner
of a tract of land located within the Russell#1 Addition,Block 2,Lots 2F, 2C, and 2B,has requested that the City abandon
that segment of the alley beginning at the east right-of-way of Jackson Street north of Brown Street and running
approximately 285 feet east through Block 1,Lots 1C and lA and Block 2,Lots 2F,2C,and 2G to the west right-of-way of
Ballard Avenue. The alley was created by the platting of the Russell#1 Addition, one of the original subdivisions within
the City of Wylie. The segment of this abandonment is 15 feet wide and 285 feet long, containing 4,275 square feet. The
area is a stable residential area and has received significant reinvestment and redevelopment through the years. Lot 2 of the
subject property has been previously inappropriately divided which has resulted in some lots being too small for modern
residences and has caused some land-locked parcels which cannot be accessed by emergency vehicles. The applicant has
since purchased these lots and is pursuing development through the re-platting process of these lots.
Council Discussion
Councilman Young asked if the alley was a north/south access. Ms. Manson replied that it was an east/west access from
Jackson to Ballard St. Mayor Pro Tem Hogue asked if this was not the alley that a resident needed access to their drive
through the alley. Ms. Manson replied that there was a land locked property in that area. The request for alley
abandonment is coming from Habitat for Humanity and the three lots will be re-platted to rectify this issue. Mayor Mondy
asked if there was any value to this alley. Ms.Manson explained that it had a sewer line that the City will have to retain as
an easement but the value is substandard with only a 15 foot width. The abandonment and subsequent re-platting of the
properties will bring it into the current conformity of the city zoning. Councilwoman Allen asked who could buy the land.
Ms.Manson explained that it would first be offered to the property owners adjacent to the alley;if they were not interested
in the purchase, it could be purchased by Habitat for Humanity. Councilman Newsom asked which lots Habitat for
Humanity had purchased. Ms. Manson replied that those lots were Lots 2B, 2C, and 2F. Councilman Young asked that
staff look at the property to retain an area that could be used to widen Ballard Street if the City chooses to do that in the
future. Ms.Manson said she would look into that issue.
Council Action
A motion was made by Councilman Young, seconded by Councilman Newsom to approve Ordinance No.
2006-11 abandoning the alley right-of-way, generally located at the east right-of-way of Jackson Street north of
Brown Street and running approximately 285 feet east through Block 1, Lots 1C and lA and Block 2, Lots 2F,
2C, and 2G to the west right-of-way of Ballard Avenue in the Russell #1 Addition. A vote was taken and
passed 6-1 with Mayor Pro Tem Hogue, Councilwoman Allen, Councilman Newsom, Councilman Young,
Councilman White and Councilman Porter voting for and Mayor Mondy voting against.
6. Consider, and act upon, Engineering Services Agreements with Birkhoff, Hendricks & Conway,
L.L.P., in the amount of$704,700.00, for (A) 730 Service Zone and 679 Service Zone Waterline
Improvements; and (B) Newport Harbor Pump Station, Nortex Pump Station and NTMWD
Pump Station Improvements. (C.Hoisted, City Engineer)
Staff Comments

Capital Improvements Plan(CIP). Based on the future growth of the City, the plan identifies twenty eight(28)water line
and pump station improvements necessary to maintain the current level of service and provide additional capacity in the

7. Consider, and act upon, approval of Ordinance No. 2006-12 to amend the FY 2005-06 Annual
Operating Budget in the amount of $60,000, transferring funds from 4B Fund (Land
Betterments/112-5614-58150) to the General Fund (Utilities Water/100-5511-56630) for Park
Division water consumption. (M.Sferra,Public Services Director)
Staff Comments
Public Services Director Sferra addressed Council stating that for FY 05-06, the Parks Division line item for Utilities
Water(100-5511-56630)was budgeted$40,000.This line item is the source of funding for 20 sites throughout the city that
are irrigated. Currently, 82% of the total amount budgeted for FY 05-06 water needs has already been used. A budget
amendment in the form of a transfer of funds, in the amount of$60,000, is requested to meet the anticipated needs for the
balance of the fiscal year. The high rate of water consumption is due to the past, present, and continuing drought
conditions.
Council Discussion
Councilman Young asked if the new parks brought on line this year, and not anticipated last year at budget time, were part
of the shortage. Mr. Sferra replied that yes they were. Mayor Mondy asked why the costs would be higher with the Stage
2 Drought Plan in place. Mr. Sferra explained that the Stage 2 restrictions just went into effect last month and this was due
to the lack of rain over the past 6 months along with the additional parks on line. Mayor Mondy asked Finance Director
Williamson why procedures could not be put in place to eliminate this type of shortage. Finance Director Williamson
stated that this was not anticipated and would be difficult to foresee. He also explained that this was a transfer of funds not
a new expense. Mayor Pro Tem Hogue asked if money was taken from the 4B account to cover the shortage, would there
be enough in the 4B fund to complete the hike and bike trail earmarked for the funds. Mr. Sferra stated there would be
with approximately$50,000 left to complete the trail. City Manager Roath asked Mr. Sferra if the money requested to be
transferred would be enough to complete water expenses for this budget year. Mr. Sferra stated that it would. He
explained that there were procedures in place to make sure the transferred money would be ample for the remainder of the
current budget year.
Council Action
A motion was made by Mayor Pro Tern Hogue, seconded by Councilman Newsom to approve Ordinance No.
2006-12 to amend the FY 2005-06 Annual Operating Budget in the amount of$60,000,transferring funds from
the 4B Fund to the General Fund for Park Division water consumption. A vote was taken and passed 7-0.
