The Wylie City Council approved two financing ordinances on May 12 to fund capital projects and equipment purchases.
Nick Boulash of Hilltop Securities, the city’s financial advisor, summarized bids received earlier in the day.

Council also authorized public property finance contractual obligations (PPFCOs) to finance equipment and property purchases, with Brownstone Investment Group LLC submitting the winning bid at about 3.1488%. The PPFCO transaction provided $6,470,000 in par and generated a cash premium of approximately $599,000; the true interest cost was stated as ~3.154%. Council approved ordinance 2026-21 and related agreements by vote.
Staff said proceeds will fund projects listed in the ballot and budgeted equipment (ambulance, radio consoles, traffic signal preemption, and other items). Estimated closing for the GO bonds is June 9, 2026, subject to Texas Attorney General review. Council approved both ordinances by unanimous vote.
