Moved by Councilor Roberts-Burns that proposed ordinance be passed. Motion seconded by Councilor Elmore. Mr. Dave Clark informed that this was a result from a Council directive at the Strategic Meeting. He went over the recommended changes, noting that citizens had two years to comply. Robert Morgan, Times Record News Reporter, asked if Councilor Gonzalez was going to refrain from discussing or taking action since he has a conflict of interest. Councilor Gonzalez informed that he would not be participating in the discussion or action on this item. Councilor Gonzalez stepped out of Council Chambers. Al Palmatary, 2216 Sheppard Access Road, spoke against this proposed ordinance because of the security issues and the need for this to be looked at very seriously. He has a wrecker service and he was not aware of this ordinance until last night. He volunteered to help review and give input into this proposed ordinance. Mayor informed that this ordinance would be posted on the website or a copy can be obtained from Community Development. Willie Vaughn, 3210 Iowa Park Road owner of Wichita Auto Salvage, 2609 Sheppard Access Road, spoke against this ordinance because he felt if it was enforced it would be selective enforcement. He feels there is a security issue as well because his business is such that he does not want to screen his property so that if there is anyone trying to steal they can be seen. He also wants potential buyers to be able to see his merchandise. Mr. Vaughn also mentioned that the grass height requirements mentioned in this ordinance will be virtually impossible to ensure that the grass is not higher than nine inches. Stan Thomas, 4187 Airport Dr., spoke against this ordinance stating that this was another unfounded mandate. He said that if this ordinance is passed it would put him out of business. He is the owner of S&T Steel. Diane Felix, 3308 Barnett, spoke against this ordinance stating that it was a security issue. She mentioned an assault incident in which she was a victim and the assailant jumped out of some bushes. David Brock, 1819 Hines, said that he did not have a problem with fencing his property but he cannot afford to do it. He suggested that the City set up a funding program that helps fence these areas. He is concerned how this is going to be enforced. Mayor explained that it was not the intent of the City Staff to do selective enforcement. If anyone feels that is the case, contact me, the City Manager, Mr. Dave Clark, or Mr. Scott Taylor. Moved by Councilor Elmore to table this item.

"810 Item 10a City Manager reminded Council to give him feedback on the budget discussion regarding the $1.6 million as to which area or areas they wanted to apply those funds, staffing or capital improvements. Item 10b Councilor Roberts-Burns expressed concern about the gang problems in our City and felt that the Police Department needed to get more cooperation from other agencies. Councilor Roberts-Burns asked staff to check into the 20 ft. pothole in the area of 107 Rosewood. Councilor Elmore informed that he had received a lot of input on the $1.6 million from citizens for water to be put into the area that was annexed. Mr. Scott Taylor stated that he has completed the long awaited report regarding that issue, along with a map and he will place that in Council boxes. Councilor Elmore suggested reducing the City's trash pick up from two days to one and that excess capacity be used in surrounding communities for City revenue. Councilor Elmore stated that he has a map of plum Creek that shows the floodway, and it is his understanding that this has been approved by the Corp of Engineers but not published. Is that true? They wanted us to spend $50,000 of the $1.6 million to publish this new Corp of Engineers map. Mr. Taylor informed that there is no cost to the Federal government other than a review fee for this. They sent us the wording to advertise, but having to pay $50,000 is not true. Councilor Elmore referred to the area where Plum Creek crosses Old Iowa Park Road. It used to run parallel to the river and go to the softball field, and I understand that a canal has been built across from the crossing. Mr. Taylor did not think so because they had identified that to straight line across Old Iowa Park Road and straight to the Wichita River. Councilor Ginnings stated that we have a tool that is available to us that could empower our law enforcement beyond the ability they now have, and that is the injunction process. I know our staff has been working on that through the District Attorney's Office. Some meetings were held and then they have stalled out. It is my understanding that there is a commitment for a meeting now. My concern is that there is not the priority with the District Attorney that there is with the City and it should be the same priority for several reasons. I think it is intolerable that there are people who are so roguish that think they can ride around and shoot into houses. That cannot be tolerated but we need to have effective means to deal with that. The injunction process would be a vital tool if we could put that in the hands of our Police. The time that this is taking is unacceptable because we have it within our power to undertake this process ourselves. It would take additional staff and some additional budget but public safety is about the highest priority we should have in city government. I am going to be hopeful that there will be something productive and expeditious that arises from this meeting to further the process. In view of the past performance from the District Attorney's Office I would like for the City Manager and City Attorney to put a budget and a procedure or staffing together since we are in budget proceedings and because we may have to deal with this ourselves. I recommend that we do deal with it ourselves if we cannot handle this problem other wise. Councilor Ginnings stated that he had learned at a meeting that we are the only incorporated city where our law enforcement officers do not present their cases to the grand jury. The impression I got was that this is not good. I would like for us, to the point that we can lawfully, take control of prosecuting criminals and cases. I would like for us to begin to present our own cases when the grand jury convenes. Maybe, in addition to exercising more control that might give a higher priority to how they are prosecuted from that point forward. I will rely on the City Attorney to work that out. Councilor Ginnings asked that the City use a police and fire training prepayment agreement and asked that Council require this for both the fire academy and police academy. City Manager asked if he was talking about the recruits signing an agreement stating that if they do not fulfill an obligation for years of service that they would have to pay for that training. Councilor Ginnings replied in the affirmative. City Manager stated that staff would work on that. Chief Bachman said that they were aware of the agreement that Councilor Ginnings referred to and informed that they will begin using those agreements at the next police academy. Item 10b continued Councilor Hatcher thanked the staff for having patience during his orientation. He apologized to the citizen on Wyoming regarding striping on Kemp and Callfield because he had been unable to make contact with him, but that has been taken care of. Councilor Hatcher referred to the proposed screening ordinance and stated that if there is some adverse perception, something that is detrimental to the development of the City because we do not have a firm hand on the screening issue, we need to get that done. We do not want to give the perception of being a "dirty City". However, we need to be very careful and aware of security issues and the financial impact it will make on the businesses affected by such an ordinance. I think that public complaints will direct the compliance. We don't want to use a shotgun approach and hit persons that it was not intended for, especially negatively. Councilor Gonzalez mentioned that there was a time when citizens could make repairs to their own homes while living in them. Today there were two incidents regarding Mr. Ramirez and Mr. Phillips wanting to make repairs. Staff mentioned that one could live in their home while repairing it while the other could not. What is the difference? Mr. Clark explained that the circumstances were different and Staff has a safety concern with Mr. Phillips living in his home while repairing it. He is partly in the house and in a back room and it is not a sound structure in which to live. Councilor Gonzalez said that he had received citizen concerns regarding the building permit requirement in making repairs to their own homes. He felt that we needed to look into that to see how we could be more citizen friendly in handling that issue. City Manager said that Staff will look into that ordinance to see if that needs to be changed. Mayor asked citizens to participate in the fireworks display for next year by contributing. Mayor asked citizens to take advantage of serving and participating on the City's boards and commissions. Mayor expressed appreciation to the citizens who made suggestions on the City's budget issue and asked that they continue helping with that. Item 11 City Council went into Executive Session at 12:23 p.m. as authorized by Section 551.074 of the Texas Government Code. City Council reconvened at 2:16 p.m. Mayor announced that no votes were taken during Executive Session. Item 12a Moved by Councilor Gonzalez to appoint Mr. Dick Bundy to Place 5 of the Wichita Falls Economic Development Corporation with term to expire July 31, 2009.
