Diane Culver residing at 2918 Jamestown Drive, Wylie, Texas addressed Council referencing a
letter on City letterhead written by the Mayor with personal views stated. She explained that she
felt the City of Wylie should have an Ethics Ordinance regulating ethics for public officials, and
in particular what official letterhead could be used for when communicating to the public
regarding business/personal matters. She explained that she had contacted the City Secretary
and ascertained that currently there were not ethics standards policy/guidelines in place. Mayor
Mondy stated that he felt the Council should look at implementing some guidelines and controls,
keeping in mind that this type of legislation would limit the correspondence that could be written
for some organizations and folks who are assisting citizens. He explained that as the community
grows, some of the things officials did when the City was 7,500 population, will not work when
the City is 40,000 or 50,000 population. Mayor Mondy thanked Ms. Culver for her comments.

Staff Comments
Assistant City Planner 011ie addressed Council stating that the subject property is located on the
southeast corner of S.H. 78 and West Kirby Street and totals 1.926 acres. The applicant is requesting to
rezone the property to allow for a hotel on one lot. The Planning and Zoning Commission voted on May
16, 2006 to recommend approval with stipulations (4-2)for the requested change in zoning. Those
restrictions are:
• Stair-step 6 feet to 8 feet high screen wall to match the 6' masonry wall of the Wylie
Senior Care Addition;
• Provide parking height restriction to prohibit access by oversized vehicles;
• Add directional lights on 14 foot poles;

Applicant Comments
Mr. Pat Brandon Fussell residing at 110 N. Harrison, San Augustine, Texas (applicant)addressed Council
showing a short presentation with samples of some hotels built by the applicant and the hotel franchise
companies that leased the property.
Council Discussion
Councilman Byboth asked Mr. Fussell if after hearing the stipulations, did he believe he could build the
hotel and stay with the current proposed room rates. Mr. Fussell stated that he believed he could, at
worst they may go up a few dollars. Councilman Porter asked if the design was the same as those
presented tonight that had been previously accepted by the mentioned hotel franchises. Mr. Fussell
replied that it was. Mayor Mondy asked if the hotel would have a corporate ownership. Mr. Fussell stated
that it would not but would be a franchise from the hotel chain. The standards and quality assurance must
be kept, as required by the franchise. Councilman Hogue asked if Mr. Fussell's firm would be the owner
of the proposed hotel. Mr. Fussell noted that he would not but the buyer/owner would comply with all
standards of the City as well as the hotel franchise. Councilman Young asked what the objections were of
the two commission members who voted for denial. Ms. 011ie responded that the two commission
members felt that this site was better suited for something commercial other than a hotel. Some of the
discussion was the proximity to a residential area. Councilman Porter asked what the occupancy tax
would generate each year. Mr. Fussell replied that the occupancy tax would be in the neighborhood of
$70,000. per year in addition to sales tax and property tax. Mayor Mondy stated that he rented 11 rooms
a couple of weeks ago for a family function and had to go to Plano to find a hotel. He felt a hotel was
needed in Wylie. Councilman Byboth stated that he felt the applicant was willing to work with the City and
felt that if this item was approved, he would continue working with the City into the construction phase.
Councilman Young stated his only problem was the adjacency to the residential area. Councilman Hogue
stated he was concerned with the additional traffic issue. Mayor Mondy asked City Engineer Hoisted if the
traffic would be an issue. Mr. Hoisted stated that Kirby was finished as far as improvements. He stated
that commercial zoning was placed on this tract and fast food or regular retail would have a higher impact
on traffic than a hotel.

Staff Comments
Police Chief Butters addressed Council stating that the proposed budget amendment is to provide funds
in the amount of$120,623 for the Animal Shelter expansion. The Construction Manager at Risk, Hisaw&
Associates, advertised and accepted bids for this construction project. The original budget for this project
was $403,000. However, the lowest bid received was $477,810. Both Brinkley Sargent and Hisaw have
been consulted to value engineer the project to the lowest cost without sacrificing quality and capacity.
The resulting construction cost is $462,623 plus architect and related fees of$61,000. In order to accept
the guaranteed maximum price for construction, a budget amendment of $120,623 would have to be
made. Chief Butter explained that the other option would be to reduce the scope of the design to stay
within the original budgeted amount.
Council Discussion
Mayor Mondy asked how long the proposed improvements would service the community. Chief Butters
replied that it would provide adequate space to build out. Mayor Mondy asked what the policy was for
euthanizing animals. Chief Butters stated that the policy was to hold the animals for seven days before
euthanizing but in actuality, very few animals were ever euthanized, only extremely injured animals; all
other animals were able to be adopted, and were kept over seven days if necessary. He explained that
so much of the supplies to house the animals were donated, making the additional holding time no
problem. Councilman Hogue asked how many animals were in the shelter on any given day. Chief Butter
replied that there were usually between 15 to 20 but could fluctuate from 7 to as high as 52. He stated
that within the first few days, over 30% of the housed animals were adopted by citizens and the
remainder were split between animal rescue groups and residents.

10. Consider, and act upon, Ordinance No. 2006-37 establishing a Public Arts Program,
authorizing the allocation of One Percent of the City's Capital Improvement
Program Project Costs for Public Art, establishing a Method for Calculating Public
Art Appropriations, establishing a Public Art Project Account and establishing a
Public Art Advisory Board. (M. Roath, City Manager)
Staff Comments
City Manager Roath addressed Council stating that the adoption of Ordinance No. 2006-37 establishes a
Public Arts Program, funding for the Public Arts Program, and a Public Arts Advisory Board including
setting forth its duties. He explained that the purpose behind the creation of this program was to assist
with the procurement of art for the new proposed buildings as well as existing parks and public facilities. It
is appropriate at this time to establish this program and appropriate funds before construction begins.
Mayor Mondy stated that the definition of art was broad and asked Mr. Roath if he could explain what it
included. City Manager Roath explained that it was broad in the sense that it could be used for any type
of visual art for example the City of Frisco included some art work in their roadways. Art not included in
this ordinance were arts other than visual such as dance, music, and drama. Mayor Mondy explained that
Frisco had included statuary around the roadways which was very visually pleasing. Councilman Young
stated that he would like to see the Wylie Parks Board commission with this task rather than a new Public
Arts Board. City Manager Roath explained that he was in favor of creating a new board which would
have a large scope of projects to address and would not be potentially bias to parks or other facilities.
Mayor Mondy stated that at the end of the day, Council would approve recommendations from this board.
Councilman Byboth commented that a new board was a good idea as there were many applicants
desiring a place on a Wylie Board and another board would allow more citizens to serve.
Council Action

Ordinance No. 2006-37 establishing a Public Arts Program and authorizing the allocation of One
Percent of the City's Capital Improvement Program Project Costs for Public Art, establishing a

Newsom absent.

payment of$20,918 will be made on or about March 31st of 2007, 2008 and 2009. In addition, TXU will
make a beneficial public use payment of$36,475.12 for 2006 and 2007 and increase the franchise fee to
the City on a scaled ratio, contingent on the PUC not denying their recovery in electric delivery rates for
the period mentioned. Mayor Mondy stated that the net return for Wylie citizens was $2.03. He asked why
it was so small. Mr. Roath replied that the other cities in the steering committee were given this
settlement and TXU is now offering the same amount to cities outside the steering committee if the cities
guarantee not to pursue legal action. He stated that the steering committee cities paid fees to the legal
firm to accomplish the settlement and by signing the agreement; the City of Wylie could receive the same
settlement with no attorney fees involved.

under the GRIP statute. This ordinance denies the 2005 surcharge request by Atmos Energy on the
grounds that it does not comply with the law, is not reasonable, and because it is duplicative of the

14. Consider, discuss, and act upon, offering either compensation or comp-time for
exempt City employees that worked during Hurricane Katrina and the March, 2006
rain storm event. (M. Roath, City Manager)
Staff Comments
City Manager Roath addressed Council stating that upon the request of Mayor John Mondy at the May 9,
2006 Regular Meeting, information has been compiled on exempt City employees that performed work
during Hurricane Katrina and the rain storm event in March of 2006.
Council Comments
Mayor Mondy addressed Council stating that he had brought this issue up to the City Manager. He
explained that during Hurricane Katrina EOC Alerts, City staff are leaving their families to serve the
citizens of Wylie. He commented that he felt all city employees should be reimbursed for their services.
Mayor Pro Tern Hogue asked what the advantages and disadvantages were to pay exempt employees.
Mr. Roath explained that exempt employees are on duty 24 hours a day and paid a lump monthly sum.
The advantages are that if exempt employees were paid for their services, they would be inclined to
assist with these emergencies in the future and it would put exempt employees on the same pay basis for
EOC as non-exempt employees. The disadvantages are FEMA did not reimburse the City for work
performed by exempt City employees during Hurricane Katrina because there was not a policy in place to
reimburse exempt employees and the City's Personnel Manual does not allow for exempt City employee
compensation for these or other activities. He explained that if the Council wished to pay the exempt
employees, a budget amendment would need to be approved in advance of payment. Councilman Hogue
stated that if there were a bonus basis, the exempt employees could receive a larger bonus for work
performed. He explained that he felt since the City does not allow bonuses, the employees should be
reimbursed for their time. Mayor Monday explained that a policy addressing the reimbursement for EOC
activation for exempt employees could be adopted which would then allow for reimbursement from
FEMA. Councilman Porter stated that he would like to see this type of legislation passed. City Manager
Roath commented that he would bring back legislation for Council to consider.
Council Action
A motion was made by Councilman Byboth, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Porter to approve
offering compensation for exempt City employees that worked during Hurricane Katrina and the
March, 2006 rain storm events. A vote was taken and passed 6-0 with Councilman Newsom
absent.
15. Consider, and act upon, Ordinance No. 2006-39 amending Ordinance No. 2005-41
