This ordinance was last revised in 2009, and has been reviewed to identify changes needed and problem areas.

Staff also sought feedback from the community and revised the ordinance based on feedback. The ordinance has been revised 27 times, and the Animal Shelter Advisory Committee and the Board of Health have both approved the proposed final revision of the ordinance. Ms. Kreidler discussed the substantial changes to the revised ordinance, cities with similar ordinances, Texas Police Association pet safety tips, and the next steps for approval. Ms. Kreidler is asking for th feedback from the City Council, and a vote to approve the ordinance on October 15. Councilor Whiteley asked about the number of feral cat colonies. Terry Russell with Miss Fannies Friends addressed the Council and discussed her work with feral cats over the last 13+ years, and stated they have trapped over 2000 feral cats since starting the organization. It is estimated that there are probably around 10,000 feral and free roaming cats in our comm feral cats for spay and neuter. P.E.T.S. Low Cost Spay and Neuter have been great to work with and have provided grants for spay and neuter services. There are currently no registered colonies inside city limits due to issues with the previous restrictions. Leslie Harrelson, 3800 Arena Road, stated that P.E.T.S. has completed over 2000 free spay and neuter services for feral and free roaming cats. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES October 1, 2019 Page 11 Councilor Jackson asked Ms. Kreidler if additional research could be done on prior annexations to determine if they were grandfathered in. Ms. Kreidler stated that she has pulled records and contacted the Planning department and does not feel like there is additional information out there. Ms. Kreidler stated that the non-conforming use permit is all that was grandfathered in. Councilor Jackson asked if the individual could provide proof that they were grandfathered in would it be considered, and Ms. Kreidler stated she is willing to look at any evidence. Councilor Jackson asked if a newspaper article could serve as proof. Ms. Kreidler stated that a newspaper article would just be evidence that the topic was being discussed at the time and she would have to review the article. Mr. Leiker stated that when an annexation is approved an annexation plan must be provided and filed. The plan spells out the services to be provided, the requirements for the property owners and the effective date. If the property owner has a letter from the City or other documentation we would be happy to look at it, but a newspaper article is not considered proof. Councilor Browning asked how apartment complexes will be regulated and Ms. Kreidler stated that they would be handled on a complaint basis. Larry Robinson, 5559 Huntington Lane, provided printed information to the council including receipts from the sale barn and written statement from Jimmy Robinson. Mr. Robinson stated that when he previously met with the Mayor and City Manager they showed him a copy of the annexation plan and asked if he had ever seen it, and Mr. Robinson stated he had not. He said they were told and it was printed in the newspaper that they would be grandfathered in. In reference to 198 (h) in the ordinance, he stated that his Dad said they are not tagging their animals, and believes that is a step towards communism. They have never tagged their animals and they never will. Mr. Robinson discussed State law and the tagging requirements at the sale barn when animals are sold. Mr. Robinson stated that he is the only person here because people are busy trying to plant wheat and do not have time to be here. There are around 7000 acres that were annexed that have cattle on them, but only one person has a permit. Ms. Kreidler clarified that there is only one non-conforming use permit, but there are other permits in the area. There was brief discussion about the process of tagging at the sale barn, and the profit made when cattle are sold. Mr. Robinson stated that he cannot afford to build a working shoot to tag the cattle, that the profit they make on cattle pays the taxes, and he stated again that they will not tag their animals. Mr. Robinson discussed dogs in the back of trucks and stated that when a dog gets hot in the back of the truck they will get under the truck for shade, and if the dog does not they are too dumb to stay alive anyway. Mr. Robinson asked how many dogs have been killed riding in front of a car in the lap, or thrown out of the vehicle in an accident. He asked if the next thing that would be required would be to have the dog in a seatbelt. When do we decide property rights are property rights? He understands that people care about animals but he cares about property rights. Mayor Santellana tried to clarify Mr. as being the tagging of animals, the facilities and cost to tag cattle, and dogs in the back of vehicles. Mr. Robinson stated again that his Dad said they are not going to tag their animals, they never have and they never will. Mr. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES October 1, 2019 Page 12 Robinson discussed dogs in trucks and stated that these animals are for protection of property and are working dogs. Mr. Santellana stated that we do have the right to govern within the city limits and used vehicle ownership as an example stating that you own the vehicle but you do not have the right to do whatever you want with it. Mr. Robinson feels that people will stop coming to Wichita Falls for fear of getting a ticket. Councilor Jackson asked Mr. Robinson how many livestock animals he has. Mr. Robinson stated he has around 10 cows and also has sheep. He then began discussing issues with taking pictures of animals and how the animals change. He also discussed guineas and that he was told he could be fined $450 for them being inside city limits. Since the city limits runs through the center of his land he asked how can he control that. He stated that they were forced into the city limits twenty years ago, and not notified of any of the regulations, but rather told they were grandfathered in. Mr. Robinson quoted Thomas Jefferson governs the least is the one that governs the best Ms. Kreidler stated that the reason we require tagging is so that when animals are at- large our officers can easily identify the owner and notify them. Mayor Santellana asked Mr. Robinson about how they handle animals getting out, and Mr. Robinson referred to the letter from his Dad that he provided. Mr. Robinson discussed other issues he has with the ordinance, and stated again that they were forced into the city limits. Mr. Leiker stated that all state legal requirements were met for annexation including notification and public hearings when these annexations were approved. Mayor Santellana discussed the avenues available to communicate with the Council and Staff and stated that if Mr. Robinson and his neighbors have issues to please write them down and provide them to staff. He assured Mr. Robinson that he would make sure their concerns were shared at the next meeting and that we would accept anonymous complaints. Councilor Jackson recommended that the livestock portion of the Ordinance be further investigated before any ordinance is passed. There are many people in District 5 that have livestock that are not tagged and do not have the means to tag them. Councilor Whiteley asked if there was any consideration given to the size of the area for livestock. Ms. Kreidler stated that a livestock production area must have at least 25 acres. Mr. Robinson stated that brings up another issue since agricultural burning cannot be done unless you have 50 acres. Mayor Santellana stated that we are going through this process in order to address concerns, and the ordinance will not be passed today. We are trying to hear from the public and address their complaints. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES October 1, 2019 Page 13 Hank Anderson, 2322 Brook Hollow, retired attorney and animal advocate, addressed the Council. Mr. Anderson stated he served as County Attorney and prosecuted the first animal cruelty case in the State of Texas, and his wife served many years on the Humane Society board. He reviewed the revisions to the Ordinance, and assessed if the changes were comprehensive enough, effective, and if the revisions were burdensome. This is a very comprehensive ordinance and he feels these revisions will give the community an opportunity to control feral cats and the issues associated with them. Mr. Anderson discussed the effectiveness of the Ordinance and the ability to enforce it, and stated that he likes the addition of reasonable suspicion instead of probable cause as well as the regulations for the transportation of animals. Mr. Anderson discussed that unrestrained animals are a danger not only to the animal but also other citizens. He discussed the fees involved and if the ordinance is burdensome to citizens, and acknowledged the costs involved. Mr. Anderson gave examples of local costs for vaccinations, and spay and neuter services. Mr. Anderson addressed Mr. Robinson and stated that if you are going to own an animal you have a responsibility for the care of that animal, and he and many others in the audience recommend passage of the ordinance. Passing this ordinance is a step in the right direction to making Wichita Falls a pet friendly community. Mayor Santellana stated that he has received a few phone calls in reference to the restraint of animals in the back of vehicles, and asked how rural individuals would be notified that this is a new city regulation. Ms. Kreidler stated that they will provide a comprehensive education campaign and educate first time offenders. Mr. Leiker reiterated that this would be handled like other ordinances in the past, and there will be education during the thirty days between approval and enforcement, as well as officer discretion during the first several months. Councilor Jackson restated that he recommends that the livestock portion be revisited since there are thousands of acres of wheat fields in his district where feeder cattle will graze, and discussed the issues with tagging if you do not have a shoot. Ms. Kreidler stated that they will look at the livestock portion. Councilor Jackson stated that he grew up on a farm and never had a permit for anything. Mayor Santellana stated that this would only apply inside city limits and that we have a responsibility to regulate animal ordinances in Wichita Falls. Ms. Kreidler discussed the numerous complaints they receive for livestock, and issues with livestock at-large and the inability to identify owners. Mr. Jackson discussed issues he experienced growing up with people running through fences and killing various animals. He stated again that he feels this needs to be revisited. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES October 1, 2019 Page 14 Mr. Robinson stated that people no longer tag calves when they are born, and discussed stocker calves brought in and issues with documentation. Mayor Santellana asked Mr. Robinson again to write down his concerns so they can be addressed. - - - - - - - Item 9b Items of Concern to Members of the City Council 11:31 a.m. Councilor Jackson thanked everyone for coming and giving comments and expressed again that he feels we need to look at the livestock portion more and come to an agreement with animal owners inside the city limits. Councilor Brewer stated that he visited the museum of North Texas History, and discussed the positive experience he had. Mr. Brewer encouraged others to visit the museum, and the cost is free with donations accepted. Councilor Chenault said good morning and thanked everyone for coming out, and said that she hopes everyone has a safe trip to TML. Councilor Whiteley congratulated the employee of the month and the legal team for the designation as fellows. Councilor West thanked everyone for coming out and especially the young people for staying for the whole meeting. Mayor Santellana thanked everyone for attending and for their support. Mayor Santellana asked Chief Prillaman why they were wearing pink, and Chief Prillaman discussed the Fire Department T-shirt sales and fundraising efforts during the month of October to raise awareness and funds for cancer. They are proud of the men and women that started these efforts and he is honored to serve alongside them. Councilor Whiteley stated that the association has raised over $150,000 for Susan G. Komen and the American Cancer Society. - - - - - - - Item 10 Comments from the Public to Members of the City Council Concerning Items That Are Not on the City Council Agenda. 11:37 a.m. There were no comments from citizens. - - - - - - - Item 11 Executive Session CITY COUNCIL MINUTES October 1, 2019 Page 15 11:37 a.m. No executive session was held. - - - - - - - Item 12 Adjourn Mayor Santellana adjourned the meeting at 11:37 a.m. th PASSED AND APPROVED this 15 day of October, 2019. ________________________________ Stephen L.
