REGULAR AGENDA
General Business
1. Consider, and act upon, authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract for
audit services with Weaver and Tidwell L.L.P. for Fiscal Year 2007-2008. (L.
Williamson, Finance Director)
Staff Comments
Finance Director Williamson addressed Council stating that the audit involves the examination of the
City's general-purpose financial statements in order to provide reasonable assurance that the City's
financial condition is accurately stated. The audit also addresses the City's internal control structure and
compliance with various policies, laws and regulations. The City is required to engage an outside auditor
annually per the City's Charter. Rotation of outside auditors is considered good business practice and is
recommended in the City's Financial Management Policies Manual.
He explained that in looking for an auditing firm, a number of criteria were established. First, there was
the desire to use a bigger firm. He noted that with the greater resources that a large firm would
command, he hoped to complete the audit much earlier than in the past and get a more detailed look at
the City's overall internal controls and policies. Secondly, there were a couple of large pronouncements
from the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) this year that will need some special
attention.
He reported that when staff began the process to request proposals, it was determined that there were a
limited number of firms which perform Governmental Auditing work. Staff contacted the City's financial
analyst David Medanich of First Southwest, who recommended Weaver and Tidwell out of Fort Worth.
Minutes—July 22, 2008
Wylie City Council
Page 2
He reported that their client list includes Addison, McKinney, Grand Prairie, and Frisco to name a few.
The firm has 60 employees and specializes in Governmental Accounting. He noted that the firm met all
of the City's criteria, and staff was recommending Weaver and Tidwell L.L.P. to serve as our outside
auditors for FY 2007-2008.
Mr. Williamson reported the cost of the audit for Fiscal Year 2007-2008 will not exceed $50,000 unless
unanticipated circumstances require additional work.
Auditors Comments
Mr. Jerry Gaither, Director of Audits for the Dallas office and residing at 143 Manchester Lane, Coppell,
Texas addressed Council stating that the firm had been in business since 1950. He reported that local
government was a main focus of the firm's practice. Five members of the local office are Government
Finance Officers Association (GFOA) Special Review Committee members. Mr. Gaither stated that he
was very excited to allow his firm to audit the City of Wylie, if approved by Council. Mayor Hogue asked
how many offices the firm had. Mr. Gaither reported there were three offices: Fort Worth, Dallas, and
Houston. He noted there are 150 staff in the Dallas office which handles the majority of governmental
work.
Council Action
A motion was made by Councilman Young, seconded by Councilwoman Spillyards to authorize
the City Manager to execute a contract for audit services with Weaver and Tidwell L.L.P. for
Fiscal Year 2007-2008. A vote was taken and passed 5-0 with Mayor Pro Tem Byboth and
Councilman White absent.
2. Consider, and act upon, Ordinance No. 2008-35 authorizing the issuance of"City of
Wylie, Texas, Combination Tax and Revenue Certificates of Obligation, Series
2008"; specifying the terms and features of said certificates; providing for the
payment of said certificates of obligation by the levy of an ad valorem tax upon all
taxable property within the City and a limited pledge of the net revenues from the
operation of the City's Waterworks and Sewer System; and resolving other matters
incident and relating to the issuance, payment, security, sale and delivery of said
Certificates, including the approval and execution of a Paying Agent/Registrar
Agreement and the approval and distribution of an Official Statement; and
providing an effective date. (L. Williamson, Finance Director)
Staff Comments
Finance Director Williamson addressed Council stating that the city has solicited completive bids for
$15,000,000 "City of Wylie, Texas, Combination Tax and Revenue Certificates of Obligation, Series
2008." Bids been opened at 11:00 am. today. The winning bidder that is recommended tonight, based on
the lowest true interest cost to the City, is UBS Securities LLC. He reported that the proceeds of these
Certificates will be used to complete funding on the City's new Library, City Hall, and Recreation Center.
Council Discussion
David Medanich representing First Southwest Company addressed Council stating that there were two
bond sales completed today by secure phone access. He noted that the City of Wylie, in a down market,
was raised from an A rating to an A+ rating by Standard & Poor's Rating Group. He noted that this
upgrade showed the positive direction the City was headed. He reported the participation in the Dallas-
Fort Worth, Texas metropolitan statistical area (MSA) labor market, strong wealth of income levels, and a
very strong financial position were the key factors in determining this upgrade in rating to the City. He
stated that First Southwest Company was very pleased the City had received this higher rating.
Minutes—July 22, 2008
Wylie City Council
Page 3
Mr. Mendich indicated that the cost of Bond Insurance was not cost effective because the premiums
asked for by the Insurance Companies were more than the present value of the interest differential
between where the city's bonds would trade with insurance and where they would trade with out
insurance. He reported that the interest results calculated for presentation tonight included this calculation
into the"true" interest cost by each bidder.
He reported that the true interest cost for UBS Securities, LLC was 4.855131% and Citigroup Global
Markets Inc. was 5.010864%. He stated that First Southwest LLC was recommending the City award the
sale to UBS Securities.

PRESENTATION
• CIP Bond Program — Public Art Plan. (C. Ehrlich, City Secretary/PAAB Board
Liaison)
Staff Comments
City Secretary Ehrlich addressed Council stating that Ordinance No. 2006-37, Section 14 (c), designates
that the board, through its chairperson, shall make both an oral and written report annually to the City
Council concerning its activities during the past year and its proposals for the coming year. She reported
that the Public Arts Advisory Board Chair, Stewart Matthews was present to address Council regarding
the projects planned in the coming year.
Presentation
Public Arts Advisory Board chair Stewart Matthews addressed Council stating that the purpose
of the briefing presentation was to provide background information on the City of Wylie Public
Art Program, to present the Public Art Plan for 2008 & 2009, and recommend some of the
projects to be completed within that timeframe.
He explained the Wylie Public Art Program goals were to acquire beautiful, interesting, and
sometimes fun, works of art for public places in Wylie; increase tourism and economic vitality
through enhancement of public spaces and to encourage public and private art programs, and
to further the development and awareness of and interest in the design work of artist into the
development of the City's capital infrastructure improvements. He reported the program will
partner with citizen driven events and fund raisers, school participation, and employee
participation to "Enliven the Arts" through these joint efforts.
He explained that one (1%) percent of eligible capital projects will be used for public art which
will be calculated on all CIP projects, excluding the underground infrastructure projects. The
calculations will be based on the pre-design, design, and construction costs for the projects less
the land acquisition, demolition, furniture, fixtures, and equipment, and library books.
He reported that the public art funds can be used for design services of the artists, for the
selection, acquisition, commissioning, and display of artworks. Artworks must be of a permanent
nature and may be integral to the architecture or incorporated into the capital improvement
project but must be created by an artist commissioned for that purpose. Administrative
expenses include costs related to project administration such as artist's selection costs; design,
drawing and Marquette costs; architect's fees when collaboration is involved; identifying
plaques, and documentation. Mr. Matthews noted that all projects required presentation and
approval by the City Council.
PAAB Chair Matthews reviewed with City Council all qualifying CIP projects and the
recommended six major projects the board initially wished to complete.
Mayor Hogue asked chair Matthews what type of art the board was focusing toward. Mr.
Matthews explained that art could be in many different places such as the exteriors and interiors
of municipal facilities, parks, streets, and other public places. The art material could in some
cases be murals, paintings, bronze, marble, and other materials of the artist's choice. They

could be integrated into the design of the facility or stand alone as interactive or visual pieces.
He noted that all proposed art would first be finally approved by the City Council.
Councilman Young asked about the insurance and maintenance fees. He asked if money was
appropriated for future costs for these areas. Mr. Matthews replied that the art selection panel
would review the art proposals in relation to the costs of upkeep and other maintenance issues
and weigh that with the specific funds allocated for the project when selecting the art. PAAB
liaison Ehrlich explained that the policies and procedures set forth the requirement to set aside
10-15% of the total appropriation for a project for the maintenance and upkeep of the art.
Councilman Goss commented that he had sat in on half of the most recent PAAB meeting and
reported that he was amazed at the interaction between the members and ideas that were being
discussed during the meeting. He noted that he believed this would be a very exciting board.
4. Consider, and act upon, approving the one (1%) percent for art funding for the Fire
Station #3 Project, the New Wylie Municipal Complex Projects, the Community
Park Project, and the Founder's Park Project. (C. Ehrlich, City Secretary/PAAB
Board Liaison)
Staff Comments

Program and created the Public Arts Advisory Board. The duties of the Public Art Advisory Board are
among other things, to oversee the public arts program and act in an advisory capacity to the City
Council. She reported that six major projects and related costs are being presented for Council

Collin County Bond Program in November 2007 which included five street projects in the City of Wylie. A
project schedule was approved on February 12, 2008 which identified the funds needed for each project

8. Consider, and act upon, Resolution No. 2008-28(R) authorizing the City Manager to
execute a Standing Steering Committee Participation Agreement and designate a
representative of the City to serve on the Steering Committee of cities served by
Oncor Electric Delivery Company. (M. Manson, City Manager)
Staff Comments
City Manager Manson addressed Council stating that the Steering Committee is the largest coalition of
cities served by Oncor Electric Delivery Company. There are more than 100 member cities, representing
80+ percent of the total load served by Oncor. The Steering Committee is the most active consumer
group advocating the interests of cities and residential and small commercial customers within cities to
keep wires rates reasonable. Most cities have original jurisdiction over the electric transmission and
distribution rates Oncor charges all customers within city limits. Because Oncor has no competitors,
regulation of the rates that it charges its customers is the only way that cities can ensure that
transmission and distribution rates, which make up about twenty percent of the total electric bill, are fair.
Working as a coalition to review the rates charged by Oncor allows cities to accomplish more collectively
than each city could do acting alone. Steering Committee membership is open to all cities, regardless of
whether original jurisdiction has been retained.
City Manager Manson reported that with the Atmos steering committee, the City Manager had served as
the City's representative. These meetings are generally conducted by conference call due the large
service area. Mayor Hogue asked if most member cities had the City Manager as the committee
representative. Ms. Manson replied all cities that she was aware of were represented by their City
Managers.
Council Action
A motion was made by Councilman Porter, seconded by Councilman Goss to approve
Resolution No. 2008-28(R) authorizing the City Manager to execute a Standing Steering
Committee Participation Agreement and designate City Manager Manson to serve on the
Steering Committee of cities served by Oncor Electric Delivery Company. A vote was taken and
passed 5-0 with Mayor Pro Tern Byboth and Councilman White absent.
9. Consider, and act upon, Resolution No. 2008-29(R) of the City of Wylie suspending
the August 8, 2008 Effective Date Of Oncor Electric Delivery Company Requested
Rate Change to permit the City time to study the request and to establish reasonable
rates; Approving cooperation with Oncor Cities Steering Committee to hire Legal
and Consulting Services and to negotiate with the company and direct any
necessary litigation and appeals; Finding that the meeting at which this Resolution
is passed is open to the public as required by law; Requiring notice of this
Resolution to the Company and Legal Counsel for the Steering Committee. (M.
Manson, City Manager)
Staff Comments
City Manager Manson addressed Council stating that Oncor Electric Delivery Company ("Oncor" or "the
Company') filed an application on or about June 27, 2008 with cities retaining original jurisdiction seeking
to increase system-wide transmission and distribution rates by $275 million. (Until last year, Oncor was
known as TXU Electric Delivery Company.) The Company asks the City to approve and 17.6% increase
in residential rates, a 9.1% increases in commercial rates, and a 5.8% increase in street lighting rates.
Minutes—July 22, 2008
Wylie City Council
Page 8
According to Oncor, annual rates would increase by approximately $60 for an average residential
customer.
Ms. Manson explained that by taking action to suspend the rate increase, the member cities and steering
committee had 90 days to review the submissions and determine if this was a reasonable rate increase.
Councilman Goss asked if the item would come back to Council in some form. Ms. Manson replied that
the rate case would come back to Council within the 90 day period. In the past this suspension resulted in
a lower rate offered by Oncor.

WORK SESSION
• Discussion related to the potential relocation of Water Deliver Point#1. (C. Hoisted,
City Engineer)
City Engineer Hosted addressed Council stating that several years ago the City updated their Water
Improvements Plan as part of the Impact Fee update. This update identified needed water lines as well as
improvement to the delivery points that would need to be completed within the next ten years. Since that
time the City has compiled a 5 year bond improvement program at a total of 7.75 million dollars for these
improvements.
Mr. Hoisted explained that the City currently services three delivery points for water. Delivery Point No. 1
located at the North Texas Municipal Water District Treatment Plant No. 1, Nortex Pump Station, and the
Newport Harbor Pump Station. He reported the submission by the City to increase the distribution of
water at the NTMWD Point No. 1 delivery from 2.9 million gallons per day to approximately 5.0 million
gallons per day. North Texas Municipal Water District requested the City install an air gap in order to
increase the delivery at this point, and as required by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
Mr. Hoisted reported that he contacted Mr. Joe Carter, P.E. of Birkhoff, Hendricks and Conway, L.L.P.,
the City's consulting engineers. They responded that TCEQ Regulations do not require an air gap for this
installation because there is no actual or potential contamination hazard present. They noted significant
additional costs of approximately $2,021,000 and sophisticated control equipment and operations
necessary to provide an air gap. The control equipment and operation would require constant
coordination of operations between the City and NTMWD. He reported that NTMWD was offering a small
reimbursement of costs related to the required air gap.
Mr. Joe Carter addressed Council stating that after a thorough analysis of the issue, he was presenting
three options for future delivery points with increased demand for water delivery.
Minutes—July 22, 2008
Wylie City Council
Page 9
Option 1 — Upgrade the NTMWD Pump Station and provide an air gap as required by NTMWD
($4,670,000)
Option 2 —Construct a new pump station facility on East Brown Street($5,620,000)
Option 3—Increase the Nortex Pump Station facility capacity to 19.73 MGD ($6,350,000)
Mr. Carter reported that the lowest cost alternative would be to continue to operate a pump station at the
NTMWD treatment plant; however, there are significant operational problems and TCEQ requirement
issues associated with this alternative due to the lack of storage available. TCEQ has stated that the
storage at the NTMWD Plant could not count toward the City of Wylie total. This would require ground
storage at other sites to be increase to meet TCEQ System criteria.
He stated that he would recommend the East Brown Street Pump Station be constructed if sufficient
funds can be made available. NTMWD has stated that they could provide 10 MGD supply in the proposed
location. The East Brown Street Pump Station offers the most flexibility and redundancy to the City of
Wylie along with the best potential for expansion to serve areas east and southeast of the current CCN.
He reported that the Nortex Pump Station option was the most costly to the City of Wylie and does not
offer redundancy in water supply or much potential to expand service areas.
Direction from Council was to further investigate the options for Delivery Point #1 and to meet with
NTMWD staff to discuss.
