Wylie headquarters to produce new
compressors and compressor com-
ponents.
Company officials said the move
will add an estimated 360 new jobs
at the Wylie plant.
Mark Womack, president of the
Wylie Chamber of Commerce, said
the announcement was “great news
for everyone."
He stated, “This is a fantastic
boost for Wylie. It can do nothing
but help our local economy.”
Womack said Sanden’s decision
to bring its expanded production
into the Wylie plant rather than
place it in another facility is testi-
mony to the good relations the cor-
poration has with the local commu-
nity.
“Wylie is growing, and this will
add to the growth even more,” the
chamber president commented.
Michitake Naka, president and
chief executive officer of Sanden
International (USA), said the new
$40 million capital investment will
be completed early next year and
allow significant expansion of its
manufacturing capacity at the
Wylie plant.
“We are in the midst of an
aggressive localization program
that will not only permit us to man-
ufacture more products here in the
North Texas area, but will also
allow us to purchase more products
from U.S. supliers,” Naka said.
He noted further that the invest-
ment will favorably impact the
local economy as well as the firm’s
American supplier network.

passed, water rates would be
increased by two or three dollars
per month. The street projects
included in the failed July bond
proposal would be excluded from
the proposal, he added.
Although the council has not
decided on a definite plan of
action, Norwood indicated that it
would be more advantageous to the
city to obtain the funds through its
own bonds, rather than through
certificates of obligation (CO) or
low interest loans from the Texas
Witter Commission.
“The main advantage to getting
our own bonds is that we could
make the repairs without the state’s
control and for less money,” said
Agreeing wholeheartedly was
City Manager Steve Norwood, who
said, “This is phenomenal. The
addition of 360 jobs to a town the
size of Wylie can’t help but have a
terrific impact on the local econo-
my.”
The city manager added,
“Sanden is a large fish in a small
pond, and it’s getting bigger. We
appreciate Sanden as a good coipo-
rate citizen and want to help any
way we can with their successful
operations here.”
Norwood noted that the expan-
sion of production will not only
produce increased city tax revenue
but will inject new payroll dollars
into the economy to the benefit of
businesses of all kinds in Wylie
and area.
Significant for Wylie also is the
fact that the capital investment will
permit the company to begin the
manufacture and assembly of the
Sanden scroll compressor series for
the first time outside of Japan.
The investment also includes a
significant portion for the manu-
facturing and asssembly of compo-
nents for Sanden’s SD-7 compres-
sor series, company officials said.
Developed, tested and validated
by the Sanden compressor engi-
neering staff in Wylie, the SD-
7H15 compressor is designed to
work with R-134a, a non-polluting
refrigerant.
Chrysler, Ford, General Motors
and Peterbilt are among the major
American users of the SD-7H15
compressor, which is expected to
be the highest-volume unit at the
Sanden Wylie plant for the next
several years.
The state-of-the-art scroll com-
Norwood. “The loans from the
water commission often come with
a lot of strings attached. There are
some potential problems with those
loans and they are not as conve-
nient to pay back.
“We did a poor job in getting the
word out about the last election,
but we’ll do it differently next
time. The bottom line is that we
have to do these projects. We’re
out of time—time is a luxury.”
In his letter to Mayor Swartz,
Sid Slocum, water program manag-
er for the Texas Natural Resource
Conservation Commission in
Austin, said, “Your water system
fails to meet this agency’s
‘Minimum Water System Capacity
Requirements.’ ’’
He said the requirements include
“a total storage capacity of 2(X) gal-
lon per connection at the Steele
Road Pump Station and an elevated
pressor is for automotive use and
sold under the “TR” trade name.
Developed by Sanden engineers,
the TR provides the highest volu-
metric efficiencies for air condi-
tioning compressors on the market,
according to company officials.
Naka said Sanden’s TR scroll
compressors have heretofore been
made and assembled only in Japan,
but expanded production will begin
in Wylie next month.
“The majority of our $40 million
investment will be completed early
next year,” Naka commented.
“After the new equipment is up and
running at our Wylie facility, our
global capacity for scroll compres-
sor production will almost double
in size."
He added, “We have recently
increased our business substantially
with Chrysler, Honda and Mazda,
and since scroll compressor tech-
nology is the most advanced in the
market, we anticipate significant
growth well into the next century.”
With a work force of 520 people,
Sanden’s five-year-old plant is
Wylie’s largest employer.
To ensure plant emission levels
will not significantly increase as a
result of its expanded production,
the SD-7 and TR product lines will
both use an environmentally safe
water-based degreaser in the manu-
facturing process, Naka said,
adding that Sanden discontinued
the use of high VOC base paints
for its compressors last year.
“Being an outstanding corporate
citizen goes far beyond the work
place. It is Sanden’s philosophy to
create harmony in all our relation-
ships, including the environment,”
storage capacity of 100 gallon pi
connection in the main city pre?
sure plane."
Slocum further wrote that "th
use of continuously operatin
booster pumps at the Steele Roa
Pump Station to maintain pressut
in the distribution system is unai
ceptable. due to the immediate los
of pressure in the event of a powi
failure...”
He also wrote, “Auxiliary powi
to deliver water to the distributio
system in the event of the loss i
normal power or an emergent-
interconnection with another publi
water supply must be provided.| "
Slocum concluded, “Your vptt
system must be modified to mei
these requirements to assure a
adequate supply of water at a
times."

A six month extension was
granted to a sewer line agreement
between the City of Murphy and
Wylie allowing the neighboring
community to tie onto the city’s
wastewater system. The tie-on
would be utilized for overflow use
only.
As part of the agreement, Mur-
phy will be charged for a minimum
of 25,000 gallons and cannot
exceed 250,000 gallons per day.
The City of Wylie will receive a
credit in the amount of $1.02 per
1.000 gallons for the excess (low.
The current agreement expires
in October of 1994 and a request
was made from North Texas
Municipal Water District and the
City of Murphy for the extension.
Prior approval for financing and
construction of the line was previ-
ously approved by the Muiphy City
Council, but financial constraints
delayed the process.
In other action items, the council
unanimously approved:
• A request from Phoenix Gal-
leries to hold an auction on Aug. 19
to benefit St. Anthony’s Catholic
Church
• A resolution certifying the
city's tax roll
• An all-night softball tourna-
ment from WAA benefitling the
Christian Care Center and Meals-

structures to have three-inch street
numbers placed in a conspicuous
place on the exterior to assist emer-
gency personnel in locating
addresses
In the citizen participation por-
tion, Wylie resident Tim Hillary
expressed concern over how police
responded to a recent traffic acci-
dent involving his son and another
boy. Mayor Jim Swartz indicated
that the incident would be dis-0
cussed with the officer's superior.
