The meeting was called to order at 5:40 PM by Secretary Brenda Jarrett.
Minutes stood approved as distributed.
Officer Mike Little gave a presentation on the Neighborhood Watch Program. The
purpose of these groups are to bring neighborhoods together. Officer Little passed out a
brochure on starting new watch groups along with a residential security manual. He also
stressed the idea that a group is more powerful than the individual. Neighborhood Watch
street signs are available for $8 apiece. Officer Little also explained how different types
of locks can discourage break-ins. He also noted that neighborhood watch groups can
look for code violations and report them to Code Enforcement.
David Lehfeldt, Sanitation Superintendent for the City of Wichita Falls, reported on
several programs available through his department. Newsprint recycling and compost
recycling programs were described. Mr. Lehfeldt talked about Clean Country held in
conjunction with the Texas Trash Off, a city-wide clean up program scheduled for April
9. Sanitation will provide 8 roll out dumpsters to be placed throughout the city during
this project. Mr. Lehfeldt is in the process of gathering information on a paint recycling
program where the recycled paint is sold for $1 for a 5 gallon bucket. He also described
operations at the Transfer Station located on Lawrence Road.
Stan Luna, Paint Program Coordinator for the City of Wichita Falls described the
requirements and procedures for the Paint Program.
The Committee agreed that the various programs presented at this meeting along with
others available need to be publicized to the residents of the community. With this in
mind, the group decided to begin planning for a neighborhood meeting to include
residents from Lynwood, Kemp-Sunnyside, and the MLK area.
The meeting adjourned at 7:10 PM.
