[COMMENTS ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS]
[00:10:58]
SO THAT DOES COMPLETE OUR PRESENTATIONS AND RECOGNITIONS THIS EVENING. WE'LL NOW MOVE TO COMMENTS ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS. IF ANY MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC WISHES TO ADDRESS COUNCIL REGARDING AN ITEM NOT LISTED ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA, WE ASK THAT YOU FILL OUT A FORM PRIOR TO THE MEETING IN ORDER TO SPEAK, AND WE REQUEST THAT COMMENTS BE LIMITED TO THREE MINUTES FOR AN INDIVIDUAL OR SIX IF OFFICIALLY REPRESENTING A GROUP. IN ADDITION, WE REMIND EVERYONE THAT UNDER THE TEXAS OPEN MEETING ACT, COUNCIL IS NOT ALLOWED TO CONVERSE, DELIBERATE OR TAKE ACTION ON ANY MATTER PRESENTED DURING CITIZEN PARTICIPATION. MISS STORM, DID WE HAVE ANY FORMS TURNED IN? NO, MAYOR. IT LOOKS LIKE WE HAD SOMEONE WHO FILLED ONE OUT THERE. ALL RIGHT. OKAY, SO IT LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE A COUPLE OF ITEMS YOU WOULD WISH TO ADDRESS.COUNCIL I IS IT? I BELIEVE IT WOULD STILL BE LIMITED TO THE THREE MINUTES, BUT YOU'RE WELCOME TO COVER IN GENERAL. SO TOTAL. SO. YES, MA'AM. SO. WELL IT'S OKAY TO DO IT THIS WAY, BUT JUST SO THAT YOU'RE AWARE. SO, MISS JACQUELINE WALTERS, IF YOU WILL INTRODUCE, STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD, AND THEN YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL TOTAL.
OH, APOLOGIES. WOULD YOU TURN THE MICROPHONE ON FOR US ON. THANK YOU. TEST, TEST. MY NAME IS JACQUELINE WALTERS, ALSO KNOWN AS JACKIE TOVAR. AND I LIVE AT 635 LEGEND TRAIL, WYLIE, TEXAS 75098. LEGEND TRAIL IS JUST AFTER PAUL WILSON ROAD. IF YOU'RE COMING FROM DOWNTOWN WYLIE, I APPRECIATE THE WORK BEING DONE TO IMPROVE OUR ROADS. IT'S LONG OVERDUE, BUT TONIGHT I WANT TO ADDRESS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AT PAUL WILSON AND PARKER. DUE TO ONGOING CONSTRUCTION AND TRAFFIC DIVERSIONS. ACCIDENTS HAPPEN FREQUENTLY. I HEAR THEM FROM MY HOME, FOLLOWED BY EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAMS. ON JANUARY 28TH, A CEMENT TRUCK OVERTURNED, SHUTTING DOWN THE ROAD FOR AN ENTIRE WORKDAY. SCHOOL BUSSES ARE STUCK IN THIS CONGESTION, DELAYING STUDENTS AND FORCING THEM INTO RISKY TRAFFIC SITUATIONS. TURNING LEFT FROM PARKER ONTO PAUL WILSON IS DANGEROUS. DRIVERS ARE FORCED TO TAKE UNSAFE RISKS JUST TO GET THROUGH. THIS ISN'T JUST A PAUL WILSON ISSUE. INSPIRATION SUBDIVISION IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS. THAT AREA IS GROWING FAST AND CONSTRUCTION IS ONLY MAKING IT WORSE. I REQUEST THAT THE CITY OF WYLIE WORK WITH TXDOT AND COLLIN COUNTY TO INSTALL TEMPORARY, EXCUSE ME, TEMPORARY TRAFFIC LIGHTS AT PAUL, WILSON AND PARKER TO IMPROVE SAFETY FOR DRIVERS AND BUSSES, AND THE INSPIRATION SUBDIVISION INTERSECTION TO REDUCE CONGESTION AND PREVENT ACCIDENTS. A TEMPORARY LIGHT IS A SIMPLE SOLUTION THAT COULD PREVENT AVOIDABLE CRASHES AND KEEP OUR COMMUNITY SAFER WHILE CONSTRUCTION CONTINUES. I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION. I LOVE THIS CITY AND WANT TO KEEP SAFETY A PRIORITY AS WE GROW. MY SECOND ITEM IS LAST TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 4TH. I ATTENDED THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD MEETING WHERE AGENDA ITEM THREE PROPOSED A ZONING CHANGE FROM AG TO SINGLE FAMILY ON 59.755 ACRES AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF MCMILLAN AND COUNTRY CLUB, BEHIND WILEY UNITED METHODIST CHURCH. RESIDENTS FROM RIDGE COVE DRIVE, BUCKHORN DRIVE, AND SWEETGUM DRIVE TO STATE. A FEW SHARED SERIOUS CONCERNS ABOUT DRAINAGE IN THAT AREA. WHILE NONE OPPOSED THE SUBDIVISION ITSELF, THEY DESCRIBED FIRSTHAND EXPERIENCES WITH FLOODING IMPACTING THEIR HOMES AND DAILY LIVES. ONE IMAGE SHOWED A CAR NEARLY SUBMERGED IN FLOODWATER NOT JUST AN INCONVENIENCE, BUT A REAL HARDSHIP FOR THOSE AFFECTED.
MANY RESIDENTS FEEL IGNORED AND DISCOURAGED, WITH CITY COUNCIL IS SET TO HEAR THIS ■PROPOSAL AT THE FEBRUARY 25TH MEETING. NOW IS THE TIME TO EVALUATE DRAINAGE SOLUTIONS BEFORE DEVELOPMENT MOVES FORWARD. FLOODING DISRUPTS LIVES AND DAMAGES PROPERTY. I URGE THE CITY COUNCIL TO REVIEW THIS AREA THOROUGHLY AND EXPLORE DRAINAGE EASEMENTS, INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS OR OTHER SOLUTIONS TO PROTECT THESE RESIDENTS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION. THANK YOU.
MISS STORM. I BELIEVE THOSE WERE THE ONLY FORMS THAT WE HAD THIS EVENING. IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S
[CONSENT AGENDA]
[00:15:04]
CORRECT. OKAY, SO WITH THAT, WE WILL MOVE ON TO OUR CONSENT AGENDA THIS EVENING. IF ANYONE HAS ANY ITEMS AS A STAFF MEMBER OR COUNCIL MEMBER, THEY WOULD LIKE PULLED FOR INDIVIDUAL QUESTIONS OR CONSIDERATION MAY DO SO AT THIS TIME FOR THE SAKE OF THE PUBLIC, AS I KNOW THAT SOMETIMES THEY'RE MISSED, BUT NOT TO DELAY OUR MEETING. I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT TO THE PUBLIC ONE OF THESE ITEM E COVERS SHADE STRUCTURES AT PIRATE COVE, WHICH IS THE NEW PLAYGROUND BEING ORDERED. AND WE ALSO HAVE IN HERE NEW ZONE FLASHERS FOR SOME OF OUR SCHOOL ZONES. SO AGAIN, NOTHING TO NOTHING. I NEED TO DEBATE OR PULL THE ITEM JUST FOR THAT, BUT WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT TO THOSE WHO MAY WATCH AND ONLY HEAR THAT WE APPROVED CONSENT AGENDA. SO COUNCIL, IF THERE ARE NO ITEMS TO PULL FOR INDIVIDUAL DELIBERATION, I WOULD BE OPEN TO A MOTION ON THE CONSENT AGENDA. MAYOR PRO TEM, THANK YOU. MAYOR. I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA AS PRESENTED. MOTION TO APPROVE. COUNCILWOMAN WILLIAMS, I'LL SECOND IT. WE DO HAVE A SECOND. SO WE HAVE A MOTION WITH A SECOND TO APPROVE. COUNCIL, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. SO THE MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO. AND JUST SO PEOPLE KNOW, IF YOU SEE ME LOOKING RIGHT AND LEFT, THE PART OF THE SYSTEM NOT WORKING IS TELLING ME WHO HAS ASKED TO SPEAK. SO I'M LOOKING FOR MICROPHONES TO LIGHT UP BY COLOR. SO JUST SO THAT THE PUBLIC IS AWARE OF WHY I'M DOING[1. Consider, and act upon, Resolution No. 2025-03(R) of the City Council of the City of Wylie, Collin, Dallas and Rockwall counties, Texas, ordering a Special Election to be held on May 3, 2025, for the purpose of submitting to the qualified voters of the City of Wylie certain proposed amendments to the existing Home Rule Charter of the City of Wylie, in conjunction with the City of Wylie General Election on May 3, 2025.]
THAT THIS EVENING, WE'LL NOW MOVE TO OUR REGULAR AGENDA. ITEM ONE IS TO CONSIDER AND ACT UPON RESOLUTION NUMBER 2025 03R OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WYLIE, COLLIN, DALLAS AND ROCKWALL COUNTIES, TEXAS, ORDERING A SPECIAL ELECTION TO BE HELD ON MAY 3RD, 2025 FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUBMITTING TO THE QUALIFIED VOTERS OF THE CITY OF WYLIE CERTAIN PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE EXISTING HOME RULE CHARTER OF THE CITY OF WYLIE, TEXAS, IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CITY OF WYLIE. GENERAL ELECTION ON MAY 3RD, 2025. SO, MISS STORM, YES, MAYOR. INCLUDED IN THE AGENDA PACKET IS THE 26 PROPOSED PROPOSITIONS FOR THE MAY 3RD CHARTER AMENDMENT ELECTION. WE WERE ABLE TO COMBINE A FEW, SO WE WERE ABLE TO DO A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN THE 26 THAT WE DISCUSSED AT THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING. THOSE WERE MOSTLY REMOVING OLD, TRANSITORY VERBIAGE, BUT IN THE AGENDA PACKET THERE IS AN EXHIBIT A WHICH SHOWS EACH PROPOSITION AND THE EFFECTS THAT IT WOULD HAVE ON THE CURRENT VERBIAGE IN THE CHARTER. IT HAS THE WORDS OR CHANGES THAT ARE BEING ADDED, UNDERLINED, AND THEN IT HAS THE VERB, THE WORDS THAT ARE BEING REMOVED, STRICKEN THROUGH. SO YOU CAN SEE. BUT WHAT WILL ACTUALLY BE ON THE BALLOT IS EXHIBIT B OF THE RESOLUTION. AND THAT'S WHAT THE VOTERS WILL SEE AT THE POLLING SITE. I AM GOING TO WORK WITH THE COUNTIES. I KNOW LAST TIME THEY WERE ABLE TO PRINT THIS DOCUMENT AND HAVE IT AT THE POLLING SITE FOR VOTERS TO LOOK AT THE STRIKETHROUGHS AND UNDERLINES, AND ALSO IT WILL BE ON OUR WEBSITE AND AVAILABLE IN OUR OFFICE. I DID WANT TO NOTE IT'S WE NOTICED THAT THERE WAS SOME SPACING ISSUES ON THE RESOLUTION IN THE AGENDA PACKET. SO WE REMOVE THOSE. SO ON THE CLEAN VERSION OF THE RESOLUTION THAT YOU SIGN, I JUST WANTED TO BRING IT TO THE ATTENTION LIKE SOME OF THE TEXT MIGHT BE ON DIFFERENT PAGES, BUT THAT'S THE ONLY THING THAT CHANGED FROM THE PACKET. SO IF YOU ARE OKAY WITH THIS, IF IN THE MOTION YOU COULD JUST SAY THAT YOU ACCEPT IT WITH THE AMENDMENT OF THE FORMATTING CHANGES TO REMOVE SOME OF THOSE SPACES. OKAY. THANK YOU MISS STORM. SO AGAIN I KNOW WE'VE HELD WORK SESSIONS ON THIS TO DISCUSS THE DIFFERENT BALLOT PROPOSITIONS. OBVIOUSLY WE'RE UPDATING THESE FOR DIFFERENT REASONS IN DIFFERENT AREAS REGARDING GENDER SPECIFIC LANGUAGE BECOMING GENDER NEUTRAL. BUT A LOT OF THE OTHERS ARE CLEANING THINGS UP WITH REGARDS TO MAKING SURE IT'S CONCURRENT WITH STATE LAW. FOR A DOCUMENT THAT WAS WRITTEN DECADES AGO. SO WITH THAT, DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? MAYOR PRO TEM? THANK YOU, MAYOR. SO I DO HAVE A QUESTION. MISS STORM, YOU HAD MENTIONED THAT THIS WILL BE POSSIBLY PRINTED BY THE COUNTY AND AVAILABLE AT THE POLLING LOCATIONS, AS WELL AS ON OUR WEBSITE, WHERE WE, IN ADDITION, HELP TO DRIVE TRAFFIC TO THE WEBSITE FROM THE WATER BILLS OR FROM ALL OF OUR SOCIAL MEDIA SITES, ETC. TO ENSURE THAT AS MUCH TRANSPARENCY AND AS MUCH COMMUNICATION, ALL OF THESE CHANGES AND PROPOSITIONS WILL GO TO THE PUBLIC PRIOR TO THE VOTE ON MAY THE 3RD. YES, SIR. WILL OUR OFFICE WILL WORK WITH CRAIG AND HIS TEAM TO HAVE POSTS, BUT WE CAN'T ADVOCATE FOR ANY OF THEM. BUT WE CAN DIRECT THEM TO THE WEBSITE WHERE THEY CAN FIND INFORMATION. YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. I WASN'T ASKING ABOUT ADVOCACY ADVOCACY BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND THE LAWS IN REGARDS TO THAT, BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE DOING EVERYTHING THAT WE COULD TO BE AS TRANSPARENT AS POSSIBLE AND ALSO AS COMMUNICATIVE AS POSSIBLE AS WELL. AT THE SAME TIME. THANK YOU. OKAY. GREAT QUESTION. DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON THIS[00:20:05]
ITEM? OKAY. WITH NO OTHERS, I WOULD BE WILLING TO ENTERTAIN A MOTION ON THE ITEM. I WOULD REMIND EVERYONE OF MISS STORM'S REQUEST TO APPROVE WITH THE FORMATTING OR TEMPLATE CHANGES IN PLACE. IF THAT IS THE MOTION. MAYOR PRO TEM, THANK YOU MAYOR, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ITEM WITH THE AMENDED FORMATTING AS PRESENTED. WE HAVE A MOTION AS STATED. DO WE HAVE A SECOND COUNCILMAN MELISSA? I'LL SECOND. WE HAVE A MOTION AS STATED WITH A SECOND COUNCIL. PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE. MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO. WITH THAT, WE'LL MOVE TO ITEM NUMBER[2. Consider, and act upon, Resolution No. 2025-04(R) authorizing the City Manager to execute a Joint General and Special Election Services Contract between the City of Wylie and the Collin County Elections Administrator to be administered by the Collin County Elections Administrator for the May 3, 2025 Wylie General and Special Elections.]
TWO THIS EVENING, WHICH IS TO CONSIDER AND ACT UPON RESOLUTION NUMBER 2025 04R AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A JOINT GENERAL AND SPECIAL ELECTION SERVICES CONTRACT BETWEEN THE CITY OF WYLIE AND THE COLLIN COUNTY ELECTIONS ADMINISTRATOR, TO BE ADMINISTERED BY THE COLLIN COUNTY ELECTIONS ADMINISTRATOR FOR THE MAY 3RD, 2025 WYLIE GENERAL AND SPECIAL ELECTIONS.MISS STORM. YES, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. THIS ITEM IS TYPICALLY ON CONSENT, BUT THE ONLY REASON WHY IT IS ON REGULAR IS BECAUSE I WANTED TO TALK THROUGH THE CHARTER AMENDMENT ORDER, AND I DIDN'T WANT TO PUT THE APPROVAL OF THE CONTRACT FOR BOTH ELECTIONS BEFORE THAT. SO THAT'S WHY IT'S AFTER THE ORDERING OF THE SPECIAL ELECTION. WE WILL GET A CONTRACT FROM DALLAS COUNTY AND ROCKWALL COUNTY, AND THOSE WILL BE ON THE NEXT AGENDA FOR APPROVAL. OKAY, THAT MAKES SENSE. COUNCIL MEMBERS, DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COUNCILMAN MALIKAI? I HAVE A QUESTION ON. I'M READY FOR A MOTION. I'D BE OPEN TO A MOTION. WE DO HAVE A QUESTION, IF YOU WOULD. SO, MAYOR, NONE OF OUR NONE OF OUR LOCATIONS. JUST FOR THE RECORD, NONE OF OUR LOCATIONS FOR VOTING HAVE CHANGED. IT WILL STILL BE AT COLLIN COLLEGE, WYLIE CAMPUS, AND THEN AT THE WYLIE COMMUNITY CENTER, WHICH WAS PREVIOUSLY THE WYLIE SENIOR CENTER. THAT'S CORRECT. AND THEY CAN ALSO VOTE ANY AT ANY POLLING LOCATION IN COLLIN COUNTY. GREAT. THANK YOU.
OKAY, SO IF THERE ARE NO OTHER QUESTIONS, I'D GO BACK TO ENTERTAINING A MOTION.
COUNCILMAN MALIKAI MOTION TO APPROVE THE ITEM AS PRESENTED. MAYOR, WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ITEM AS PRESENTED. DO WE HAVE A SECOND, COUNCILMAN WILLIAMS? I'LL SECOND IT.
