Construction of a railway crossing, financial audit results and more were discussed at last week’s Wylie City Council meeting.

Mayor Matthew Porter recognized Boy Scout Brian Goodrich for achieving the rank of Eagle Scout and acknowledged National Human Trafficking Prevention Month at the Tuesday, Jan. 23, regular meeting.
