The measures passed unanimously. Council approved the development agreement to allow the developer to return later with a planned development zoning case that will be reviewed by planning staff and Planning & Zoning before a final council vote. The annexation services agreement spells out services the city will provide if and when the annexation ordinance is enacted, while placing the cost of utility and roadway connections with the developer.

Why it matters: the added tract creates an additional circulation connection within Dominion of Pleasant Valley, officials and the developer said, and increases the proportion of larger lots while reducing the number of the smallest lots in the community.

Claudio Segovia of Johnson Volk Consulting, the civil engineer appearing for the developer, told council the annexation “is the initial step” toward incorporating the red‑hatched tract into the PD and said the change is intended to “improve connectivity and circulation” between existing and future phases. Segovia said the annexation would add roughly 19 homes, reduce the count of the smallest lot types and increase the share of larger lots; he cited builder marketing that lists prices ranging roughly between $514,000 and $1 million for current products in the development.

Council members pressed the developer for more traffic information. Councilman Scott Williams said he has heard complaints from residents and asked for an updated traffic study or at least traffic data to confirm whether design adjustments are needed before later phases are built. Segovia said engineering and initial engineering for the PD would follow after annexation and that the last comprehensive traffic study tied to earlier annexations was done in 2020; he agreed to consider additional data and to work with city staff.

City staff described the annexation package as three linked actions: (1) the development agreement to allow staff and council to sign off on the developer’s intent to bring a PD forward; (2) the annexation services agreement, required by state law, listing services the city will provide (police, fire, planning, building, code enforcement, parks and solid waste) but making clear the developer is responsible for on‑site utility and roadway connections; and (3) the annexation ordinance itself. The annexation ordinance was introduced as Ordinance No. 2025‑301.

Council votes and next steps: the development agreement passed 5–0; the annexation services agreement passed 5–0; and the annexation ordinance to include 4.024 acres in the city passed 5–0. With approvals in hand, the developer will return with PD documents, public notices to neighbors and a formal PD zoning case for Planning & Zoning review and a final council vote.

Context and details: council and staff said the tract being annexed fills a small gap between existing and future phases and is intended to relieve circulation pressure rather than reduce open space. Staff advised that the parcel will follow the city’s PD review path; neighbors will be notified and the developer must complete required engineering and utility work as part of later approvals.

Evidence: city staff presentation and developer remarks during the Aug. 26 council meeting opened as the public hearing for the annexation (no members of the public spoke on the item).

Budget and tax actions: the council adopted Ordinance No. 2025‑32 (the FY 2025–26 budget) by a 5–0 vote. Separately, under state law the council voted to ratify the property tax revenue increase reflected in the adopted budget and held a public hearing on the proposed tax rate. The council then adopted Ordinance No. 2025‑33 to fix the tax rate at 0.543438 per $100 (a recorded vote required because the proposed rate exceeds the no‑new‑revenue rate); the ordinance passed 5–0.

What the rate means: Finance staff said the proposed rate is the voter‑approval rate and represents an increase of 0.009137 from the current tax rate — a little under one cent per $100 valuation. The finance director and city manager told council that the increase funds an average 3% merit pool for staff, a 4% step plan for public safety pay, higher insurance costs, and operational needs tied to bringing emergency medical services (EMS) in‑house and replacing vehicles and equipment.

Public comment: several residents spoke at the required public hearings.
- Bethany Sullivan urged protection of library collection diversity and praised the local library’s founding. (Public comment, non‑budget item.)
- Laura Gates said she opposed a tax rate increase and asked the council to cut spending, citing concern over the Wylie Economic Development Corporation’s (WEDC) balance and asking the city to avoid passing tax costs to homeowners.
- Alexandra Rolfson asked how the rate increase and a stormwater utility fee will be used for drainage work in her neighborhood and sought clarification about responsibility for easements and drainage systems.
- Whitney McDougall questioned several budget items and carryover requests, including an armored vehicle and $500,000 in park funds for pickleball‑court shades; she also asked whether some budgeted costs could be spread over multiple years. Council and staff responded explaining funding sources and restrictions.

City responses and context: Mayor Matthew Porter, the city manager and Finance Director Miss Brown addressed questions on funding sources and constraints. Staff noted that: EDC and parks 4B funds are generated by sales tax and are legally restricted to their purposes and cannot be shifted to the general fund; seized funds were used for the armored vehicle carryover request; bringing EMS in‑house increased the city’s near‑term costs; and public safety (police, fire, EMS) comprises a large share of the city’s budget.

Staff noted historical context: the city’s tax rate was approximately 0.8989 about 15 years earlier, and the council trimmed the rate for several years before the current modest increase. Finance staff explained the no‑new‑revenue tax rate calculation and said state law (Local Government Code §102.007 and House Bill 3195 as referenced at the meeting) requires separate votes on the budget and on the property tax revenue increase when the proposed rate produces increased revenue.

Key numbers recorded in the meeting:
- Adopted tax rate: 0.543438 per $100 assessed valuation (M&O 0.422048; debt service 0.12139).
- Increase from current rate: 0.009137 per $100 assessed valuation (noted by staff).
- Staff said the average home valuation used in examples was $474,000; staff said that equated to about $104 per year above the no‑new‑revenue rate for that example homeowner (per city manager’s remarks during the hearing).

Votes at a glance:
- Ordinance No. 2025‑32 (Adopt FY 2025–26 budget): approved 5–0.
- Property tax revenue increase (separate ratifying vote required by state law): approved 5–0.
- Public hearing on proposed tax rate of 0.543438: held; public comments received.
- Ordinance No. 2025‑33 (fixing tax rate at 0.543438): adopted 5–0 (record vote).

What happens next: the tax and budget ordinances take effect as stated in the ordinances. Staff and council emphasized they will continue to monitor staffing, recruitment and costs; several council members urged continuing outreach and transparency about how tax dollars are allocated and how sales‑tax restricted funds (EDC/4B) may be used.

The item was taken off the table for consideration at the start of the regular agenda so the council could hear the applicant’s request. Planning staff reported the applicant’s engineer is still revising the zoning exhibits. At council request, staff opened a required public hearing; no members of the public came forward to speak. The applicant asked council to table the item to allow the engineering team to complete changes and return with a final zoning exhibit.

Mayor Pro Tem and other council members expressed frustration that the item had been pushed more than once; Mayor Pro Tem said repeated deferrals can frustrate citizens who might appear to speak during a public hearing. Despite those comments, Councilman Williams moved to table and Councilman Pickens seconded; the motion carried 4–1 with the Mayor Pro Tem casting the lone vote against the delay.

What the item is: the proposal would change zoning from Neighborhood Services (NS‑S) to Community Retail with Special Use Permit (CR‑SUP) on about 1.056 acres to allow a motor fueling station, convenience store and drive‑through restaurant on property at 1400 Country Club Road. Planning staff noted the case previously went to Planning & Zoning and had been considered earlier in the council cycle.

Next steps: the item is tabled for up to three meetings. Staff and the applicant said they expect to return with a final zoning exhibit; if the applicant is not ready after three meetings, the item may be brought back or further delayed.

Finance staff said the 4B revenue projection for 2025–26 is $6,639,138 (including an 8% increase in projected sales tax receipts compared with the prior year). Proposed expenditures were listed at $8,024,755; staff described a number of capital and one‑time items in the plan including replacement playground equipment at Creekside South and South Brook Park, gym wall padding, a commercial refrigerator/freezer for community facilities, a new Ford Transit van and grounds equipment (an airfield/enfield machine and a zero‑turn mower). Staff also said three part‑time positions had been transitioned to full‑time in the 4B budget.

Staff reported a projected ending fund balance described in staff materials as a healthy fund balance; the board packet cited the fund‑balance policy (25% of budgeted sales tax revenue) and the board discussed that the proposed budget retained a healthy reserve above policy.

Board action and vote: Board member Tara Harrison moved to adopt the 4B budget; Board member Austin Foster seconded. The measure passed 5–1, with Board member Whitney McDougall voting against the budget.

Board chair and staff said the 4B fund supports parks and recreation facilities, senior activities and recreation center operations; they noted there is no outstanding 4B bond debt at present. Staff asked board members to be available for a possible additional meeting later, because state legislative changes require bylaw updates; staff said board members will be notified if that meeting is scheduled.

WEDC Executive Director Mr. Griner told council the board had approved the financing earlier and that the corporation is still negotiating purchases of two properties. The financing is structured as a pledge of future sales tax revenue from the EDC’s dedicated half‑cent sales tax; it is a 20‑year note at approximately 6.475% with principal‑and‑interest payments estimated at $50,000 per month, Griner said. Closing was anticipated within about 90 days, and the EDC board planned a subsequent budget amendment to accept the proceeds and then a council budget amendment.

Council members asked staff to confirm the financing would not affect the city’s property tax rate; staff and the EDC said the loan is secured by pledged EDC sales tax revenue and not by property tax. The EDC also included a call flexibility feature intended to allow earlier payoff; board members described the structure as designed to preserve flexibility so acquired parcels can be sold or conveyed quickly to developers.

Vote: council approved the resolution 5–0. Staff said the EDC will return with required follow‑up actions (a sales‑tax pledge ratification and budget amendments) before any funds are expended.

Context: the EDC’s mission is to acquire and prepare property to attract businesses and jobs; the board told council it intends the acquisitions to accelerate development, increase jobs and expand the city’s sales‑tax base so that future sales revenue can support debt service and economic activity.
