CONSENT AGENDA

All matters listed under the Consent Agenda are considered to be routine by the City Council and will be enacted by one motion. There will not be separate discussion of these items. If discussion is desired, that item will be removed from the Consent Agenda and will be considered separately.

  1. Consider and act upon entering into an Interlocal Agreement with Collin County for the development of Quail Meadow Park.
  2. Executive Summary

    The City of Wylie has been awarded a $101,470.00 Park Grant by Collin County for the development of the park in the Quail Meadow subdivision. The elements of the park will include handicap accessible playground equipment, walking trail, irrigation, landscaping, benches, tables, lighting and signage. The Interlocal Agreement establishes the responsibilities of the City and the process for reimbursement. The total project cost is estimated to be $210,773.00. The City’s match is derived primarily from the $40,000 in funding from the Parkland Dedication Fund and the contribution from Centex Homes valued at $66,153.00.

  3. Consider and act upon authorizing the City Manager to execute and award a contract to Birkhoff, Hendricks & Conway, L.L.P., in the amount of $13,000 for engineering services related to the preparation of an Emergency Water Management Plan.
  4. Executive Summary

    The TNRCC mandates that water providers develop an emergency water management plan. The City’s plan will incorporate the plan adopted by the North Texas Municipal Water District. The FY 2002 budget included $15,000 for the development of an emergency water management plan.

  5. Consider and act upon approval of final acceptance of the First Street and Graham Court Drainage Improvements and authorize final payment to Tri-Con Services, in the amount of $21,676.10 and accept the project as complete.

Executive Summary

October 2001 Council awarded a construction contract to Tri-Con Services for improvements to the drainage channel from First Street to Second Street and improvements at Graham Ct. The walk through was performed February 2, 2002 and the contractor has addressed all the items identified. The total project cost is $243,761.00

INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION

  1. Consider and act upon approval for a new Interlocal Agreement for Fire Protection Services between the Town of St. Paul and the City of Wylie.
  2. Executive Summary

    On January 26, 1993, the Town of St. Paul and the City of Wylie entered into an Interlocal Agreement for Fire Protection Services. Since this time, growth has dictated the need for a second fully staffed fire station located at 555 Country Club Rd. This fire station includes the City of St. Paul within its response district. The cost of operating the fire station is about $800,000 per year and with the costs of 911 communications service, it increases that amount to about 1 million dollars.

    This addendum will change the billing charges from a twelve thousand dollars ($12,000.00) per year to sixty thousand dollars ($60,000.00), paid in three annual installments of twenty thousand dollars ($20,000.00). This is considered by staff to be the same per capita rate paid by the citizens of Wylie. The Town of St. Paul has forwarded this contract for council approval; execution by the City of Wylie is needed to complete the agreement.

  3. Consider and act upon amending Section 42-37 (5) of the City Code regarding hours of construction and the associated prohibited noise. Executive Summary –see agenda item.
  4. Hold a public hearing to consider and act upon a revision to the Standards of Care for Youth Programs as adopted by Ordinance 2000-7.

Executive Summary

In the 1995 74th Legislative Session, a bill was passed enabling municipal youth recreational programs to be exempt from the state’s licensing requirement if they comply with the provisions of Senate Bill 212. As part of the requirements, the city shall hold a public hearing annually to adopt the Standards of Care.
