2. Consider and act upon updating the current Athletic Fee Ordinance 2001-03 to be administered by the
City of Wylie Parks and Recreation Department.
Mr.Robert Diaz,Assistant Parks Superintendent addressed this item providing a brief background on the intent of
the Ordinance. He stated that when the Athletic Fee Ordinance was approved last year,it was determined that the
ordinance would be updated yearly if necessary. The changes addressed this year refer to the "Athletic Field
Marking/Chalk Fee". The City has been contracting the marking/chalking of the baseball and soccer fields to an
outside contractor for several years. City staff has negotiated and provided communication between the sports
leagues and the contractor.The City currently shares the cost of chalking and related services 50/50 with the sports
leagues. The proposed changes will eliminate City staffs responsibility in this task and enable the sports leagues
to be directly involved with the field marking process. The sports leagues will also be solely responsible for the
cost, which has been adjusted to reflect the current market price. The sports leagues have been notified of the
potential changes. The Parks and Recreation Board unanimously approved the proposed changes at the February
25,2002 meeting.
Councilman Trout made a motion, seconded by Councilman Worley, to approve the amendments to the Athletic

Snellgrove stated that staff is requesting that Council authorize the finance department to issue an RFP for the
purpose of hiring a consultant to conduct a water and sewer rate study. The last rate study done by a consultant

changes in the utility system such as the Newport Harbor storage tank and pump station facilities. The operating
and debt service costs to use the Muddy Creek Regional WTP will also be included in the rate study.
Mr. Snellgrove stated that this would be a five-year plan to be reviewed every five years. He estimated a four-
month time line for completion.
