Item 6
A final public hearing was held on the proposed use of Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) and HOME Program Funds for the One-Year Action Plan under the Consolidated
Plan.
Mayor declared the public hearing open.
Mr. Dave Clark informed on the use of CDBG and HOME Program Funds. The City will be
receiving $1,433,139 in CDBG Funds and $494,794 in HOME Funds. The City will also be
allocating anticipated program income of approximately $200,000.00. Mr. Clark detailed the
summary of proposed projects for the One Year Action Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto as
Exhibit A.
Mayor Lyne asked for a comparison from last year to see how it affected our community.
Mr. Clark will place this information in Council boxes. Mr. Clark noted that the overall grant has
gone down by $200,000 from last year.
Councilor Ammons has been on this committee for six years and it has been a great
opportunity to be on this committee to see what goes on in their organizations every year. It feels
so good to be able to help those people on behalf of the City to fund some of these things. I do
not think we advertise enough about what the City does for low income people. She asked if the
City was going to advertise the minor and emergency repairs programs and let people know that it
is available. Mr. Clark replied that they are informed that money is available but the money is
usually gone before the end of the year. Councilor Ammons hopes that whoever follows her on
that committee loves it as much as she does.
Mayor noted that in light of all the earmarks that are going on in Washington right now, one
of the justifications for the earmarks that representatives are making is that they know what is best
for their local communities. He recommended that we all contact the House Senate leadership
and tell them that the communities know what is best for them and if you put it in a CDBG we can
get it done better, more effectively and efficiently. Unless we put pressure on them, they won't
change.

Item 10a
There were no staff reports.
Item 10b
Councilor Ammons mentioned the memo regarding the stage rental fee and stated that it
was too high. She suggested looking at a more affordable alternative. Also, she suggested that
the train, which is a great asset, needs to be advertised.
City Manager informed that the intended use was for the City. He noted that we have had
requests to use it for free. We can revisit that rate fee structure as well as place it on the agenda
if Council so wishes.
796
Item 10b continued
Councilor Ammons stated that if it is our purpose to use it for the City only, then leave it as
it is but if not, change the fee structure. Councilor Elmore and Councilor Roberts-Burns agreed
that it should be revisited.
Mayor directed that it be put on the agenda on the second meeting in July to discuss and
that staff provide Council the direct cost.
Councilor Ammons was glad to see the 9'/2% increase in sales tax and asked that
everyone to continue spending money in our City.
Councilor Gonzalez mentioned the tax lien situation and asked why they were just now
being addressed; those liens are over 20 years old. City Attorney explained that only recently did
we have the capability to get all that information. We have had significant changes in the staff that
handled this for over forty years. We have spent the past year determining the best way to handle
this. At some point those liens are on file and while we did not put that on the news, we have
followed the legal process. There are issues that have come up about errors. We have started
with the A's and put those on the website. We have four people working on these issues and it will
take some time. People can call the lien office with any issues and we will work through them.
Councilor Gonzalez expressed concern that some of these folks did not have the financial
means to obtain an attorney to verify this for them. The attorney fees are more than the taxes that
are due. City Attorney informed that these are liens where the City spent money to mow those
properties and the process was followed. There is no doubt that the work was done by the City
and a private contractor was paid to do the work, and the City incurred those costs.
Councilor Gonzalez mentioned that some of the liens are after someone purchased the
property. City Attorney explained that the liens are for mowing and demolition. These are all City
liens.
Councilor Ammons asked if the City's due diligence was way behind. City Attorney replied
that a letter is sent before any work is done giving the property owner time to respond.
Mayor stated that once we file a lien we should notify the property owner when a lien is
filed. City Attorney stated that the whole purpose of the public recording system is to file a lien and
everyone can be aware of a lien on a property that is the depository for all type of information.
Anyone can go there and look to see if there are any liens on a certain property.
Councilor Ammons stated that we are going to have to work out the mistakes that have
been made and not wait every eleven years. Maybe in September, during budget, we can set this
responsibility as someone's job and pay for their effort and time spent on this. We need to make
sure we have done our homework before sending those letters out.
Councilor Hatcher commented that this is a housekeeping issue; the City has not had the
capacity until now to do this job. He encouraged persons who purchase property to use a title
company to make sure they have clear title to the property. He asked if the City sends out an
invoice to the property owner after the City has done the mowing?
Mr. Bobby Teague replied that after the City mows the property we send them an invoice
and give them 30 days to pay. Councilor Hatcher felt that we were doing everything we could.
City Attorney asked Council that they be given another month to see where we are. Some
have a pretty good idea where things will end up.
Councilor Hatcher referred to the $1000 deposit for the Parks stage and asked if the City
deposited that check. Mr. Jack Murphy replied that it is deposited and after usage, if there are no
damages we refund the money. Councilor Hatcher asked staff to look into the possibility of not
depositing, but just holding the $1,000 deposit for the stage.
Councilor Hatcher thanked the staff for the new council member orientation. He hopes that
the July 5 Council meeting concludes early because he has to leave at 10:00 a.m. to escort his
daughter who is a contestant in the Miss Teen Texas.
Councilor Elmore received a call from a person who tore down their building and now there
is a lien against them. I would like to get a council subcommittee to review various ordinances. I
will call Scott Taylor because I still have questions about Randolph Dr. His only big concern was
old proof on tax liens. He wants this to be resolved.
797
Item 10b continued
Mayor Lyne pointed out that up until now the City has not had the ability to do what we are
doing now with the tax liens. We are expending the time, money, and energy and he felt that quite
a few of these would be resolved. He cautioned that once a building goes on our demolition list,
which is approved by Council, and we contract for demolition, that contract remains. If a property
owner tears down their own building, we still have a contract with the demolition company, and we
would be in a contract dispute. Inevitably there will be a lien placed by the contractor or the City.
He cautioned property owners that if the City has already let a building, do not tear down your own
building because it will cost you money. Mr. Dave Clark pointed out that the property owner has
30 days to demolish after Council approves demolition. It is after the 30 day period when we
authorize the demolition.
Mayor Lyne stated that this past weekend was a very busy time for events in our City. We
had the Oil Bowl, Downtown Music Festival, and the Juneteenth Celebration. These are all major
events, and he asked if there is some way we can work with these different groups to plan these
events to get those things on "a day". Let's be proactive and contact these organizations through
Convention Visitors Bureau and have a central method to calendar these events. That would be
very beneficial to our City.
Mr. Bob Sullivan agreed that there are a lot of things to do here in Wichita Falls. With the
new CVB Director coming on board one of the things we are looking at is trying to have a
centralized booking area so that we can get the activities information. We will also look at
increasing the level of visitor information that can be put out.
Councilor Elmore congratulated the fire fighters on their efforts in their certification.
Mayor Lyne mentioned that there were a lot of people at the Booker T. Washington
dedication of the historical plaque. He encouraged everyone to visit and read the plaque, which is
a great awareness of the history of our community, where we come from and where we are going.
City Council adjourned at 10:25 a.m.
