With notice of the meeting posted in time and manner required by law and a quorum of Board
Members present, the Board of Directors of the Wylie Economic Development Corporation
(WEDC) met in Regular Session and August 4, 1999 in the Woodbridge Club House Conference
Room at 7400 Country Club Dr., Wylie, Texas.
The meeting was called to order by President John Yeager at 7:00 a.m.
ITEM NO. 1 - Discuss and Consider Issues Surrounding the Relocation/Expansion of
Extruders, Inc. to Premier Business Park.
Staff updated the Board on the Extruders project. Mr. Frost stated to staff that should Extruders
be responsible for leasing the entire 105,000 square foot facility beyond an 18-month time frame,
the entire project will have to be reconsidered. This statement concerned staff greatly due to the
difficulty in obtaining approval to proceed from the Extruders Board of Directors. Also, Mr.
Frost commented that the Extruders Board will most likely want to consider all options again.
While staff was not sure as to the plausibility of that statement, it was an issue for the WEDC
Board to consider. As a review, Extruders agrees to the 5-year lease terms. Extruders will
occupy 100% of the facility for a minimum of 18 months. Following the 18 months, Extruders
will vacate±70,000 square feet leaving only the paint operations for a maximum of an additional 3
'/2 years.

Mr. Fuller insisted that if Extruders wants the WEDC to be responsible for subleasing while they
vacate a majority of the facility, the lease on the remaining 30,000 square feet should increase
substantially.
MOTION: A motion was made by Kevin St. John and seconded by Gary Bowland
authorizing staff to negotiate a lease with Extruders with the following
conditions:
1. From the time the lease is executed, the first 18 months of the lease
will be at a rate of$1.90 per square foot;
2. Assuming Extruders vacates all but ±30,000 square feet, the
following 18 months will be at a lease rate of$2.09 per square foot;
3. The fourth year, Extruders will be required to pay a lease rate of
$2.30 per square foot; and
4. The final year of the lease will require a payment of $2.53 per
square foot.
The Board of Directors voted 5 — FOR and 0 — AGAINST in favor of the
motion.
