Consider, and act upon, Resolution No. 2017-25(R), a Resolution of the City of Wylie, Texas regarding the recommendations of the North Central Texas Council of Governments' Collin County Strategic Roadway Plan in the City of Wylie and its Extraterritorial Jurisdiction; and providing for an effective date. (M. Manson, City Manager) Council/Staff Comments Mayor Hogue reported the North Central Texas Council of Governments (COG), at the request of the Collin County Commissioners Court, has conducted an assessment of future transportation needs for Collin County, including the evaluation of both existing and possible new road corridors. The assessment process consisted of multiple meetings with elected officials and staff to present the initial findings and to solicit input, with the goal of achieving a consensus on projects to include in the Mobility 2045 long term transportation plan. Inclusion in the Mobility 2045 plan would set the stage for a detailed environmental study and a public involvement process. Mayor Hogue explained the proposed resolution was provided in the packet. He reported staff tried to include items of concern that were voiced at the November 9th Council Work Session, without placing blinders to the need for additional roadways to accommodate the growing population. He reported that over the past ten years, the City has spent over 75 million on Wylie roadways which have greatly improved mobility throughout the City. Council also must be aware of the way County officials will view the recommendations in this resolution. Mayor Hogue indicated commissioners may choose not to fund City roadway projects if the City does not support the county recommendations; this could mean less funding from the state and federal government. City Manager Manson reported NCTCOG had provided a new thoroughfare proposal on their website after clearly hearing comments from the November 9th work session. The possibility of a north/south freeway extending through Wylie is no longer indicated on the proposed plan. They are now looking at the availability of other thoroughfares. NCTCOG felt the east loop was too far east and needed to be revised. Manson noted this is the only freeway still recommended on the plan. She indicated the proposed plans had not changed very much in the past 35 years. Mayor Hogue read the proposed resolution and explained why certain items were included. Section 1. B was added, he explained, even though this bridge is not in the City's jurisdiction. This was done to try and work with Collin County so the City continues to receive federal dollars. He asked for input from the Council. Councilman Wallis commented that he understood the City did not want to upset Collin County however removing the "bridge over Lake Ray Hubbard" verbiage of Section B would show that the City is being passive but not confrontational. He also asked that the word "support" be struck and only say encourage further study. Councilwoman Arrington, Councilman Dahl, and Councilman Forrester concurred with Councilman Wallis in removing the bridge over Lake Ray Hubbard verbiage, only. Mayor Hogue read Section 1, Item C and Item D for Council consideration. Councilman Wallis commented that he wanted "the support of improvements to existing bridges and new bridges over Lake Lavon"to be taken out of the section. Other councilmembers were satisfied with Section D as written. Mayor Hogue read Section 1, Item E to the Council. All Council members were in favor of the proposed section. Council Action A motion was made by Councilman Forrester, seconded by Councilman Dahl to approve Resolution No. 2017-25(R), regarding the recommendations of the North Central Texas Council Minutes December 12, 2017 Wylie City Council Page 3 of Governments' Collin County Strategic Roadway Plan in the City of Wylie and its Extraterritorial Jurisdiction; and providing for an effective date, with the following amendments: Section 1 Paragraph B to read: "The City Council supports and encourages further study of north-south and east-west thoroughfares", and striking "including a bridge over Lake Ray Hubbard to connect to S.H. 205/John King Blvd." A vote was taken and the motion passed 5-1 with Mayor Hogue, Mayor pro tern Stephens, Councilman Forrester, Councilwoman Arrington, and Councilman Dahl voting for with Councilman Wallis voting against and Councilwoman Culver absent. 2.

Staff Comments Wylie Fire Department and the City of Wylie are currently an Insurance Services Office Class One rated municipality. In an effort to maintain the current ISO rating and remain proactive in fire prevention, the Wylie Fire Prevention/Community Risk Reduction Division has been actively participating in the North Texas Council of Governments Fire Advisory board meetings. The goal of the Fire Prevention/Community Risk Reduction Division is to maintain and prevent deficiencies in future ISO PPC ratings, due to fire code, and remain current in relation to industry standard fire code. Based on past discussion with the Wylie Building Official, and the Prevention/Community Risk Reduction Division, this code revision aligns the fire code in line with the current International Building Code (IBC) 2015. The Wylie Fire department requests the adoption of the 2015 International Fire Code NCTCOG regional amendments, Option B track. This will provide for the best protection of life and property in Wylie from construction with the building code and maintenance over our occupancy's lifetime through this updated fire code.

Mayor Hogue convened into Work Session at 8:40 p.m. WORK SESSION • Discuss third party energy management and procurement services. (C. Holsted,Asst. City Manager) Assistant City Manager Chris Holsted addressed Council stating that in 2016, Council approved Resolution No. 2016-04(R) authorizing the Texas Coalition for Affordable Power, Inc. (TCAP) to negotiate an electric supply agreement for five years for deliveries of electricity. TCAP successfully negotiated a rate of $36.84/MWh and the City of Wylie is currently under contract with Gexa Energy, LP for our electric service through December 2022. Hoisted explained that staff recently met with Energy by 5 to discuss energy management and procurement services. There is an opportunity to lock in power prices for 2022-2026 at almost the same rate as the current contract allowing the City to maintain a flat monetary spend on electricity for the next 9 years. Josh Coleman, representing Energy by 5, gave a short presentation showing the advantages of working with his company to lock in a competitive bid for energy with cost savings to the City. Direction from Council was to further research this option and report back to Council at a future meeting. • Discuss revisions to, and the renewal of, the Solid Waste and Recycling Contract with Community Waste Disposal,L.P. (C. Hoisted,Asst. City Manager) Assistant City Manager Holsted addressed Council stating that the City of Wylie contracted with Community Waste Disposal (CWD) in 2008 to provide solid waste and recycling services. The contract was renewed in 2013 and expires in September 2018. City staff has been working with CWD to identify any possible contract revisions to provide better service, reduce complaints, and reduce staff time Hoisted reported the utility billing and code enforcement departments spend considerable staff time related to bulk pickup. Currently, citizens must contact CWD to schedule bulk pickup and it is limited to 24 cubic yards per year. Holsted explained CWD has priced two options for regularly scheduled bulk pickup, thereby eliminating the need to call in to schedule service. He reported the increased cost is $0.89/month for once a month pickup, and $2.97/month for weekly pickup. Currently Wylie is one of the lowest fees charged by surrounding cities. Craig Roemer, president of Community Waste Disposal, addressed Council requesting the Council also consider adding front load recycling in the list of exclusive franchise services and apartment recycling as a mandatory service. Minutes December 12, 2017 Wylie City Council Page 8 Council discussed the options for monthly recycling versus weekly recycling and gave direction to staff to further research monthly bulk pick up for consideration at a future meeting. Council also directed further research regarding apartment complex recycling and if all apartment complexes would be able to handle a large front load recycling vehicle. Council members voiced their satisfaction with the service CWD was providing.
