Min 03/21/2006 w 740 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Wichita Falls, Texas Memorial Auditorium Building March 21, 2006 Item 1 The City Council of the City of Wichita Falls, Texas met in regular session on the above date in the Council Chambers of the Memorial Auditorium Building at 8:30 o'clock a.m., with the following members present: Lanham Lyne - Mayor Ray Gonzalez - Mayor Pro Tern Jim Ginnings - Councilors Linda Ammons - Dorothy Roberts-Burns - Michael Norrie - Charles Elmore - Darron Leiker - City Manager Bill Sullivan - City Attorney Lydia Ozuna - City Clerk Mayor called the meeting to order. Item 2a Reverend John Dillard, Interim Senior Minister, First United Methodist Church, gave the invocation. Item 2b Councilor Gonzalez led in the Pledge of Allegiance. Item 3 Deborah Fitzgerald 1153 Fell Lane was informed by the City that she needed to put in a water line at an approximate cost of$20,000 and she cannot afford to run this line. Elvin Dudley, 2518 Shepherd's Glen spoke in support of Mrs. Fitzgerald. Mr. Dudley was contacted by Mrs. Fitzgerald to build a home for her on Fell Lane, and she is the only one out there that does not have water. We would be willing to hook up to the Yline. Scott Taylor informed that he had spoken with Mrs. Fitzgerald and explained the situation. She will be platting this property and the Ordinance requires her to extend to the property line. We have had a long time policy where we are not authorized to set up meters in private areas only in the right of way. Council can make changes at a later date to this ordinance requirement. Mayor stated that Councilor Elmore, City Manager, Mr. Taylor, and he will discuss this matter. Randy Coffman, 1415 Kemp, suggested that the jail inmates be used to work while they are serving their time. He suggested doing things such as cutting mesquite to sell for fire wood or shredding it and selling it for mulch. He suggested offering rewards for information on gang members. v A 741 Item 4 The Minutes were approved as distributed. Item 5 City Manager gave a briefing on the item listed under the Consent Agenda. Moved by Councilor Gonzalez that the Consent Agenda be approved. Motion seconded by Councilor Ammons and carried by the following vote. Ayes: Mayor Lyne, Councilors Ginnings, Ammons, Roberts-Burns, Norrie, Gonzalez, and Elmore Nays: None RESOLUTION NO. 42-2006 RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS, AUTHORIZING AWARD OF BID FOR DEMOLITION, CLEARING AND CLEANING OF VARIOUS PROPERTIES TO DAVIS CONSTRUCTION IN THE AMOUNT OF $26,766, AND TO MOTE, INC., IN THE AMOUNT OF $21,847.00; FINDING AND DETERMINING THAT THE MEETING AT WHICH THIS RESOLUTION WAS PASSED WAS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AS REQUIRED BY LAW Mayor moved Item 8h to be discussed at this time. Item 8h RESOLUTION NO. 50-2006 RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS, AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A LICENSE AGREEMENT WITH THE YMCA OF WICHITA FALLS, GRANTING EXTENDED RESERVATION PRIVILEGE FOR USE OF BALLFIELDS IN UNIVERSITY KIWANIS PARK AND LAKE WICHITA PARK FOR A SPRING AND FALL YOUTH BASEBALL LEAGUE IN 2006; FINDING AND DETERMINING THAT THE MEETING AT WHICH THIS RESOLUTION WAS PASSED WAS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AS REQUIRED BY LAW Moved by Councilor Elmore that Resolution No.50-2006 be passed. Motion seconded by Councilor Ammons. Mr. Jack Murphy gave the following suggested changes to the proposed agreement. First paragraph - Replace the word "fall" in the first paragraph to "summer" Item 2 - change the date October 30 to August 9 Item 3 second paragraph — change the City Recreation Office and replace with YMCA Item 5 — change may to shall. The issues of scheduling and electricity charges were discussed. Darrell Lohoefer, 1512 Malcolm Lane, YMCA Board Chair, made the recommendation that Item 3 be changed so that the City, instead of the YMCA, handle the tournament reservations and that the City retain any fees. In addition, that the YMCA pay 65% of electricity charges and the City pay 35%. Mayor suggested including Sunday in Item 2 in the agreement. Sandy Shawver, 1005 Easy Street, Burkburnett, YMCA Executive Director was not in agreement with putting the YMCA's name on a park's electric meter, however, she supported the 65%/35% electricity payment. Councilor Ginnings moved that the following substitute motion be passed. Motion to pass Resolution No. 50-2006 and that the first paragraph of the agreement be amended by replacing 742 Item 8h continued the word "fall" to "summer"; and that in Item 2 the date of"October 30" be replaced with "August 9"; and that in Item 3, second paragraph, be amended to reflect that the City would handle the tournament reservations and retain any fees; and that the YMCA pay 65% of the electricity charges and the City pay 35%; and that in Item 5 the word "may" be changed to "shall". Upon Councilor Norrie's request, City Attorney explained what would happen if this substitute motion passed. Councilor Ginnings called a point of order, noting that there was a motion on the floor and discussion had ensued without a second. City Attorney concurred that a second was required prior to discussion. Mayor called for a second. Motion seconded by Councilor Elmore. City Attorney informed that if this substitute motion passes this item is completed. Additional discussion ensued. Michael Cox, 8474 FM 79S, provided an overview on the Little League Program. It was clarified that the motion on the floor included the changes to the first paragraph of the agreement and Items 2, and 3, as suggested by Mr. Lohoefer, as well as Councilor Ginnings substitute motion. It was noted that the cost share was inconsistent in item 3 and Item 5. Councilor Ginnings felt comfortable with letting the City Attorney work with the language, if everyone on the Council agreed that the intent of the cost share, 65%/35%, would be applicable to any classification of game. Council concurred. The City Attorney will make those two items consistent in the cost share. City Attorney stated that the cost share consistency item would be considered as part of Councilor Ginnings substitute motion. Substitute motion carried by the following vote. Ayes: Mayor Lyne, Councilors Ginnings, Roberts-Burns, and Elmore Nays: Councilors Ammons, Norrie, and Gonzalez City Council recessed at 9:50 a.m. and reconvened at 10:05 a.m. Item 6 A public hearing was held to amend the Public Housing Assistance Plan and Administrative Plan to include project-based voucher assistance and income verification procedures. Mayor declared the public hearing open. Mr. Matt Benoit, Assistant City Manager, detailed the proposed amendments to the Administrative Plan. Project-based Voucher assistance is similar to current voucher program offered by the City. With project based voucher assistance the Housing Division may enter into a contract with a property owner for a certain number of units that become project based. The number of units that are project-based is not more than 12 to 20 units. When applicants rise to the top of the waiting list the first 12 are offered a project based voucher first, if there is a vacancy at that location. If they accept, an apartment will be waiting for them; if they do not accept, they may begin their apartment search like any other applicant. Councilor Gonzalez asked if the voucher remained the same. Mr. Benoit replied that it did. Councilor Gonzalez asked how much a voucher would be, and Mr. Benoit replied that it depends on the applicant's income; the only Federal guideline is that it may not be more than 40% of their gross household for housing and utilities. 743 Item 6 continued Councilor Ammons asked if this was just for the Greenbriar Village. Mr. Benoit replied that was what got us on this; but anyone can apply for vouchers. We will score everyone's proposals based on amenities, location, etc., it is an open process. Councilor Ammons asked if this increased the number of vouchers. Mr. Benoit informed that it is the same number; it just gives the person one more option when they get to the top of the list. Mr. Dave Clark mentioned the Greenbriar Apartments and interjected that one thing that is going on right now is that through the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs, they rank the scores of applicants for that funding. Part of that is local contribution and this is considered one of the aspects of local contribution as if the City was to provide HOME funds or CDBG funds. The North Texas Housing Finance Corporation's participation is considered a local injection that can accomplish that as well. Councilor Ammons asked if this was for seniors of the public at large and Mr. Benoit replied that it was for anyone that is income eligible for Section 8. She mentioned the need for additional senior housing projects. Mr. Benoit mentioned that there was a second issue, unrelated to the project based vouchers, that needs to be amended, upon HUD's direction. We have been, for approximately two years, making use of software interface provided by HUD that verifies the amount of the applicants' income, which is the most important single factor that determines what amount of federal funds subsidized is paid for rent on a monthly basis. He mentioned that the Resolution approving amendments to the PHA Plan and the Administrative Plan will be placed on the April 4 Council Agenda. Councilor Ginnings asked if the project based vouchers could be applied to an existing facility? Mr. Benoit explained that they would have to go through the process but we do have this possibility. Councilor Ginnings asked if we have an existing facility and they apply for this does money change hands. Mr. Benoit replied in the negative and stated that we have to get approval from HUD, and they do not have unlimited desire to issue these project based vouchers. Councilor Gonzalez asked about inspection of the units and new apartments. Mr. Benoit replied that all are inspected prior to and on an annual basis. The number of vouchers on hand and issued was discussed, as well as the actual process. Mayor called for additional public comments. There being none, Mayor declared the public hearing closed.

Motion seconded by Councilor Elmore and carried by the following vote. Ayes: Mayor Lyne, Councilors Ginnings, Ammons, Roberts-Burns, Norrie, Gonzalez, and Elmore Nays: None Item 9a 1 City Manager presented a report on the operation and maintenance of the Multi-Purpose Events Center (MPEC). City Manager gave a brief update on where we stand with this item. He gave a brief history. On January 18, MPEC Corporation Board voted that the facility should be run by the City rather than a master O&M lease agreement with the MPEC Corporation, as it stands today. MPEC Board asked the City and County to consider terminating the existing lease, which expired in 2004 and has been extended on a month to month basis. On February 7, 2006 City Council adopted a resolution that concluded that there is good reason that the City should manage and operate MPEC. You asked the City Manager to review the appropriate procedures and time frames and report back to Council and that is what I am doing today. On February 27 the County Commissioners adopted a similar resolution to what you did that came to the same conclusion. We have to have approval from both entities as well as the MPEC Board to make sure everyone is on the same page with respect to this issue. City Manager went over the findings. Legal completed the review and looked at all the existing operating contracts for MPEC and none require MPEC Corporation to obtain prior consent from these other parties. Simply, all it takes is a notification that beginning at a certain date the City assumes responsibility of those leases. All is good on that front. We have also had to work through some issues with TABC on the type of liquor licenses. We have done that and we were told that they cannot be transferred so the City would need to make a new application, which is an eight-week process. We looked at the insurance polices and MPEC has a separate policy through TML that runs through September, 2006 and that stays in effect regardless of how we structure this O&M Agreement. At that point we will do an evaluation and see if we continue with that or look at other options. There is also an issue of the Board itself, and what remains in tack and whether to keep an advisory board to help the City and the management gather input and operate the MPEC facilities. For now, I think we should keep at least an Advisory Board in tack, and we are looking into that. We will report back to the MPEC Board, City Council, and Commissioners Court. Ultimately all of you, City Council, Commissioners Court, and MPEC Board will formally have to terminate that agreement, and the transfer could be as soon as June or July of this year, assuming we do not come across any other hurdles or the liquor license does not take longer than we expect. We want to make sure there is no lapse in coverage and that it is a seamless transition. Bob Sullivan, MPEC Executive Director, stated that they are working very closely with the City Attorney and the City Manager on this, and he sees no major issues. Item 9a 2 Scott Taylor informed that three weeks ago we discovered a leak on a 30" treated water line coming out of the Cypress Plant. Normally it would not be an issue but we have a different situation. It has reduced our treatment capacity or our ability to deliver water from the Cypress Plant from 32 mgd to 14 mgd. We are also faced with the issue of the ongoing work at the Jasper Plant and it is at half capacity, so we only have a total of 26 mgd treatment capacity. We are in the process of taking proposals for the repairs, which are due Friday, March 24th. We are shooting to complete by May 1 to have everything at capacity at Cypress as we enter the summer season. I bring this to your attention in the event we have any issues on the repairs. We may need to come back to the public to ask for voluntary reduction temporarily while we address these repairs. This 747 Item 9a(2) continued repair was not anticipated but we need to address it. It is an old line that was put in 1987, and it has a poor track history with us. Mr. Taylor informed that the cost will exceed $25,000. We will have the contractor selected by Friday and we will give him the notice to proceed immediately and it should be repaired by May. Depending on weather conditions we may need to ask for voluntary water restrictions. Item 9b Councilor Ammons asked about the possibility of replacing a water line that leaks; it runs adjacent to 9" Street. Mr. Taylor stated that he would look into that, but noted that they have limited funds, and if they cannot address it now it may be next budget year. Councilor Ammons asked if the billboards had been put up for the Business Park. City Manager replied that he did not think so; we will be looking at putting up our own. He will visit with Tim Chase about that. Councilor Ammons suggested placing one on the North side and South side. Councilor Gonzalez thanked Mr. John Burrus for taking care of street lighting issues. Councilor Gonzalez thanked Mr. Scott Taylor for personally going and checking on the alley issue on Alamo and he thanked him for taking care of the situation. Mr. Taylor informed that it has been put on this year's Alley Project Program. Councilor Norrie brought up the need for a traffic signal at Southwest Parkway and Stone Lake, and mentioned that Mr. Burrus was on top of that situation by checking to see when it qualifies for a signal light in accordance with TXDOT. Councilor Norrie mentioned the baseball fields and stated that there are a lot of agreements out there and I wish we could fund all these folks, but we are not in the situation where we can do that. He mentioned an idea that had been brought to his attention regarding something that the City of Frisco had done. Councilor Norrie commented that the City of Frisco and economic development are synonymous. Frisco put before the voters a Y4 cent sales tax to fund economic development, sports facilities, one stop shopping. It is our job to submit ideas and I would task the Mayor to allow three councilors and Park Board to tour Frisco to ask them questions and check into the mechanics, and what is involved so we at least have another option. That is something that is so lacking and that is the support of youth programs. Councilor Ginnings referred to the project vouchers and stated that it reminded him that low cost housing is an important part of quality of life here. As we are entering into this and as we do things to encourage apartments and low cost housing, I would like for us to look ten years and beyond and realize what we are really building are "people warehouses". I would hope that the Planning Department could look down the road and see if they could offer some guidance to Council that maybe there is another way or a contemporary way to address low cost housing so that we don't have everybody that needs assistance in these "people warehouses". One day we will be addressing slums because that is what they will be. I would like for us to at least say we addressed it, looked at it, and done what we could to keep our community as much a community as possible when we deal with low cost housing. Councilor Ginnings asked the City Attorney about the status of uncollected property liens. City Attorney informed that they are waiting to hire someone to process and administer those claims and we are currently working to do that. It will be 60-90 days before we can get some one on board to work on that. We have also met with title companies and have received some assistance from them to insure that these claims are not lost and are picked up at closings. We will see how far we can go before getting into litigation, but we will bring it back to Council to act on it prior to litigation. Councilor Ginnings commented that he and the City Attorney had discussed the issue of the local rapper that would like to celebrate the death of some of our police officers. I would hope that we can have such a community that those types of people would not want to live here. It appears that there is no law or ordinance that is applicable here that in itself could be brought to bear. City Attorney agreed and stated that there are freedom of speech issues, but we will continue to look into that. In addition, before some threat would lie there needs to be some immediate danger of bodily injury. This is not unique to Wichita Falls and to my knowledge those rappers were not prosecuted for the contents of those recordings. I have not found a way to criminally prosecute that type of activity. 748 Item 9b continued Councilor Ginnings mentioned the Grease Trap Ordinance and expressed concern that these requirements might put small businesses out of business. He would like to have some input whether or not the same thing could not be accomplished by closer monitoring of the emptying of grease traps as opposed to putting someone out of business. City Manager replied that some of these businesses did not have a grease trap to begin with and it was a matter of not having one. We will give you a report on those measures. Councilor Elmore referred to the liens and asked if there is a law that will not allow us to waive or reduce liens. City Attorney replied that a City cannot forgive a lien. If we acquire through tax foreclosures most liens are wiped away in the process. The property is then sold back to any individual by bid and that property is clean. Councilor Elmore mentioned that in the TIF 1 program there is money left and asked if that money can be used for art projects downtown rather than encourage someone to renovate. Do we have provisions in that for beautification for downtown? Mr. Dave Clark replied that there are provisions. That is part of the TIF 1. Councilor Elmore thanked Mr. John Burrus for the Wichita Falls signs we have been looking at and hopes they are going up soon. He mentioned green space and said he would like for the Council to re-look at that kind of provision where we can require the builder to set aside green space, park or whatever. City Manager said that staff will look at that. Mr. Dave Clark informed that there is a park development item now in the ordinance, but the City has no plans for new parks. The clause in the Subdivision Ordinance has no meaning until there are designated areas that park development might take place. There are some communities that have such regulations. City Manager stated that we will meet with Park Board and discuss these issues with them, as well as how to fund and prioritize. Councilor Elmore stated that we need more green space and he would like for us to move in this direction more than we have. Councilor Roberts-Burns invited everyone to the dedication ceremony for the Martin Luther King Boulevard on April 3 at 11:00 a.m. Mayor thanked the City Manager for getting on the computer issue at the Library. Mayor mentioned the 4B — parks and sports usage and would like to see what other communities are doing, like DeSoto. We would have to use the 4B funds from what we are using then for now. We will look into this, collect data and discuss it. Councilor Gonzalez reminded everyone that the TML Region V meeting would be this Thursday at the MPEC 5:30 p.m. Mayor congratulated the Aggies. City Council adjourned at 12:05 p.m. PASSED AND APPROVED this '1 day of , 2006.
