to visit their website or contact him with any questions.
Councilor Brewer attended the Kiwanis Park playground opening where they also sold
pancake mix and sausage in lieu of the annual pancake feed. The housing market is still
doing great with high sales. People are moving to Wichita Falls and he was excited to
see the article in the newspaper regarding people that sold their house in California,
moved here and bought a house, and still had money to live on. This is a testament to
our economy as compared to others. Wichita Falls is a great place to live with a low
cost of living, and he believes we are growing.
Councilor Whiteley congratulated Randall Dunn, employee of the month. He attended
the Sheppard Air Force Base main gate opening and it was a great event. He thanked
the entities involved for making that project come together and noted that there were
state senators and representatives that attended. Kuddos to the police officers that

opening and had the opportunity to visit with Representative Springer, who stated that
Wichita Falls is very relevant to him. Congressman Jackson made a special trip to
attend the event as well. Hats off to our staff for their hard work on this project, it was
great to see three entities work together to get this completed. Council just completed
our strategic planning process and it was nice to see we are still on the same path. He

for an extension to the existing funding agreement to renovate the building at 809
Ohio into a mixed use retail and entertainment establishment.
Mr. Fidelie opened the public hearing at 3:03 p.m. Mr. Menzies said the first two projects
before the Board were approved shortly before the Covid-19 pandemic really hit. The funding
agreement with Half Pint III LLC to renovate the building at 809 Ohio was for nearly $51,000.
They are requesting a five-month extension until August 1.
Denton Keltner,905 9th Street, Wichita Falls. He noted the Board had received his formal
request for the extension, as well as a timeline of the work performed and associated delays.
More work had to be done than was anticipated, such as the complete removal and replacement
of the slab, and the repair of two walls damaged by high winds. There have been multiple
occasions of rain and shortages of material. All building materials are now in, and the project is
expected to move swiftly once construction gets underway.
Nick Schreiber asked if the five-month extension provides sufficient time. Mr. Keltner
said a couple more months would be nice. He does not anticipate any major delays but he has no
way of knowing that in today's environment.
Mr. Fidelie said the Board appreciates the efforts to improve the downtown area. There
being no further discussion, he closed the public hearing at 3:08.

extension to the existing funding agreement to renovate the building at 620 Ohio into
a mixed use establishment.
Mr. Fidelie opened the public hearing at 3:09 p.m. Mr. Menzies said this project was
approved last March at a cost of$42,411.50. They are requesting a short extension until June 1.
Tyler Sales, 813 8th Street, Suite 506, Wichita Falls. He spoke on behalf of Anchored DT's
request for a 90-day extension. Historic research done on 620 Ohio rev caled that the structure
used to be two units. So they have installed a partition wall between the two units. Unit 1 should
be ready for final inspection by the end of the month, with Unit 2 ready shortly thereafter.
Delays were due to the Covid-19 pandemic as well as the application process for state and
federal historic committees.Phase 2 of the process is a 60-day review period,but they experienced
a delay due to the nationwide shelter-in-place ordinances.
Mr. Fidelie expressed the Board's appreciation for their efforts to revitalize downtown
Wichita Falls. There being no further discussion, he closed the public hearing at 3:11 p.m.

related to their forthcoming efforts to inventory and preserve the contents of the
former Railroad Museum downtown.
Mr. Fidelie opened the public hearing at 3:11 p.m. Mr. Menzies said the City owns the
building and land at 500 9th Street. For years, the not-for-profit Railroad Museum occupied the
facility. In December 2020, the Museum terminated its lease and vacated the facility, leaving all
inventory in the building. They did not, however, leave any records. The Museum of North Texas
History is interested in doing inventory work on the contents. The City and Museum signed an
access agreement allowing the Museum use of the facility for 12 months to do this v.ork. The
request before the Board is from the Museum and the City for an amount up to $7,500 to pas the
utility and solid waste costs not currently budgeted.

There being no further discussion, Mr. Fidelie closed the public hearing at 3:16 p.m.
7. Staff report regarding the operations of the Corporation-owned Lindeman Parking
Garage at 7th Street/Indiana Street downtown.
Jana Schmader said Downtown Wichita Falls Development is reinstating the Art Walk,to
be held March 4. They want to put art and music in various places. The request before the Board
is to place a single musician on the first floor of the Lindeman Parking Garage. Mr.Menzies added
that if the Board approves of the request, staff has prepared a draft agreement available for
signature today.
Property Administrator Pat Hoffman said there are still only two tenants in the garage,and
no inquiries to lease the property. Staff checks all floors daily. Police officers patrol it on a regular
basis.
Mr. Leiker noted that the Council has expressed interest in the Board's planned use of this
facility, and encouraged that it be used more. From staffs perspective, the garage is in a holding
pattern at present. A developer had shown interest in the beginning, but did not follow through
for various reasons. The spaces were put out for bid, but there is not yet sufficient demand for
businesses in the area to want to pay for parking. The Board has discussed whether to open the
garage up as free parking for events such as the Art Walk, or to charge a nominal fee. The Board
was not interested in turning it into a profit center, but would like to defray operational costs.
Mr. Hatcher noted there had been a Facebook `uprising' about the $25,000 annual
budgeted amount for the upkeep of the garage. The actual amount spent year to date is $1,071.
The Board does feel it should try to break even as much as possible. Mr. Leiker opined that if the
City were to construct such a facility, it would cost many millions of dollars. This is a real gift; it
may not be needed today, but will be hopefully in a few. years.
8. Staff report regarding Type B Corporation eligible projects pursuant to Texas
statute.
Mr. Menzies said the issue regarding eligible 4B projects, particularly in the downtown
area, had been discussed over the last few months. He distributed a map of the downtown area
comprising the Central Business District (CBD). This district is an actual zoning area, and has
had the same configuration since the inception of zoning in Wichita Falls in 1985.
About 30 years later, the discussion of areas eligible for economic development funding
was based on the 2008 comprehensive Freese & Nichols study for 2020. The area bounded by
6`h/Ohio/11t/Travis was determined to be the area within which to focus public investment. The
Board decided to use the CBD boundaries as its boundary for investment.

Agenda Item No.5.a
The most recent Freese &Nichols study (from 2017-18), adopted as part of the Council's
downtown plan, is in the implementation stage now. It talks about the core downtown area being
even smaller than in the previous study—7`h/Ohio/1 lth/Scott.
The question has come up regarding the possibility of expanding the 4B eligible area.
Legal analysis will be provided in executive session.
9. Executive Session.
Mr. Fidelie adjourned the meeting into executive session at 3:35 p.m. pursuant to Texas
Government Code section 551.087. He announced the meeting back into regular session at 4:54
p.m. The subjects posted in the Notice of Meeting were deliberated, and no votes or further
action was taken on these items in executive session.
10. Motions
Half Pint III LLC's request for extension to existing funding agreement to renovate
the building at 809 Ohio
Mr. Leiker moved to extend the performance agreement between the 4BSTC and Half Pint
III LLC to October 1, 2021. Seconded by Mr. Hatcher. the motion carried 6-0.
Anchored DT LLC's request for extension to existing funding agreement to renovate
the building at 620 Ohio

costs of items listed in the agenda. Seconded by Mr. Hatcher. the motion carried 6-0. Mr. Alenzics
noted the utility bills will come directly to the City and will be paid with 4B funds.
Request by DWFD regarding use of the Lindeman Parking garage
Mr. Fidelie moved to enter into an agreement with DWFD for use of the Iindeman parking
garage on March 4 and 5 under terms stated in the draft agreement. Further. he moved to permit
individuals to park free of change in the garage during the Art Walk event. Ile directed that staff
and DWFD work to have similar terms for future downtown events. Seconded by Mr. Leiker. the
motion carried 6-0.

1. Call to Order: David called the meeting to order at 10:04 am and declared a quorum.
2. Approval of Minutes: February meeting minutes were approved unanimously.
3. Election of Officers: Tabled.
4.a. Veteran's Plaza Project: With the design complete, the focus has turned to
fundraising.
4.b. Medal of Honor Statue Consideration
David stated that a sculptor named Dan Brook contacted him regarding the possible
placement of a bronze statue of John R Kane, a Medal of Honor recipient who was
raised in Wichita Falls. The Committee clearly will not entertain changes to the existing
design, but might consider something like this in the future. It was suggested to contact
Bob Hampton and Joel Jiminez to learn more about local history, and find out if other
WF residents have received a Medal of Honor. Another suggestion was to possibly
place the Kane statue at Base Camp Lindsey.
4.c. Lake Deepening Alternatives
David stated he received the information to calculate what percentage of lake bed
materials would be removed if Compressed Earth Blocks were used for the two new
high schools, and based on those numbers only 0.06% would be removed. This
amount would be like the volume of a small swimming pool, but would fill back in
quickly.

5. Discussion of Brick Sales and Fundraising Initiatives:
David will update Mac Cannedy to see if the Bridwell Foundation or other foundations
that he manages would be interested in supporting the Veterans Plaza, and will also
update Harry Patterson to ensure he knows the status and is still on board.
David asked Blake about the possibility of requesting funds for the Veterans Plaza from
the 4B Board. After some discussion, the consensus is that we must exhaust all other
possible funding sources before asking the 4B Board. Russell asked about the Gold
Star Family Foundation fundraising, and David stated he will contact their POC.
6. Other Business Matters:
The new Intern, Kimberly Paris, should be processed through the City's HR Dept, and
David will contact Brian Lester at 940.761-7619
David urged all members to complete their ORA and OMA training.

REGULATIONS FOR DISPOSAL OF INDUSTRIAL
WASTEWATER to incorporate revisions concerning a Texas
Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) Industrial
Pretreatment Audit.
INITIATING DEPT: Public Works
STRATEGIC GOAL: Efficiently Deliver City Services
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: Practice Effective Governance
COMMENTARY: The City's Industrial Pretreatment program was approved by TCEQ
on December 23, 1983 after ARTICLE VII. — REGULATIONS FOR DISPOSAL OF
INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER was adopted by City Council. Over the years TCEQ has
required amendments to ARTICLE VII. based on new rules, audits, and regulations that
have been adopted by TCEQ. The adoption of new rules by TCEQ required ARTICLE
VII. to be amended and then adopted by City Council. The most recent amendment and
approval of ARTICLE VII by City Council occurred September 2020 (Ordinance 20-2020).
On March 22 — 26, 2021 TCEQ performed an audit of the Pretreatment Program. Upon
review of the TCEQ approved Ordinance 20-2020 they found an issue with two dates in
Section 106-884(a) that needed to be corrected. The TCEQ noted these dates as a
Required Modification to the Pretreatment Program on the report for the audit during the
exit interview on March 26, 2021.
Section 106-884(a) of ordinance 20-2020 stated;
"Any industrial user subject to a categorical standard, after the compliance date of
such pretreatment standard or, for a new source, after commencement of the
discharge into the publicly owned treatment works, shall submit a report to the
Control Authority during the months of June and December, unless required more
frequently in the pretreatment standard or by the Control Authority, the
Environmental Protection Agency, or the approval authority, a report indicating the
nature and concentration of pollutants in the effluent which are limited by such
categorical pretreatment standards."
TCEQ is requiring the underlined changes below to Section 106-884(a);
PAGE 1 OF 52 PAGES
AGENDA ITEM NO. 6.B
"Any industrial user subject to a categorical standard, after the compliance date of
such pretreatment standard or, for a new source, after commencement of the
discharge into the publicly owned treatment works, shall submit a report to the
Control Authority on or before July 30th and January 30th, unless required more
frequently in the pretreatment standard or by the Control Authority, the
Environmental Protection Agency, or the approval authority, a report indicating the
nature and concentration of pollutants in the effluent which are limited by such
categorical pretreatment standards."
To achieve compliance with the TCEQ requirements concerning the Industrial
Pretreatment audit the changes to ARTICLE VII. — REGULATIONS FOR DISPOSAL OF
INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER must be adopted by City Council.
Staff recommends approval of the ordinance.

(1) Prevent the introduction of pollutants into the municipal wastewater system which
will interfere with the operation of the system or contaminate the resulting sludge;
(2) Prevent the introduction of pollutants into the municipal wastewater system which
will pass through the system, inadequately treated, or otherwise be incompatible
with the system;
(3) Improve the opportunity to recycle and reclaim wastewaters and sludges from the
system;
(4) Provide for fees for the equitable distribution of the cost of the operation,
maintenance and improvement of the municipal wastewater system;
(5) Protect the health and safety of wastewater treatment and wastewater collection
personnel as well as the general public;
(6) Enable the municipal wastewater system to comply with Texas Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System permit conditions, sludge use and disposal requirements, and
any other federal or state laws; and
(7) To reduce the operational and maintenance costs of maintaining the sewer system
by preventing the accumulation of grease, oil, and residue within the sewage
system lines; and
PAGE 13 OF 52 PAGES
AGENDA ITEM NO. 6.B
(8) To ensure the quality of sludge to allow its use and disposal in compliance with all
applicable statutes and requirements.
(b) This ordinance provides for the regulation of direct and indirect contributors to the
municipal wastewater system through the issuance of permits to certain nondomestic
users and through enforcement of general requirements for the other users, requires
user reporting, assumes that an existing customer's capacity will not be preempted,
and provides for the setting of fees for the equitable distribution of costs resulting from
the program established in this ordinance.
(c) This ordinance shall apply to the city and to persons outside the city who are, by
contract or agreement with the city, users of the city's publicly owned treatment works
(POTW).
Sec. 106-569. - Confidential information.

permit applications, wastewater discharge permits, and monitoring programs and from
the Control Authority's inspection and sampling activities and any other information
submitted to the Control Authority pursuant to this ordinance shall be available to the
public without restriction, at least to the extent provided by 40 CFR 2.302, unless the user
specifically requests and is able to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Control Authority
that the release of such information would divulge information, processes, or methods of
production entitled to protection as trade secrets under applicable federal, state, or local
law. Any such request must be asserted at the time of submission in the manner
prescribed on the application form or instructions or, for other submissions, by stamping
the words "confidential business information" on each page containing such information.
When requested and demonstrated by the user furnishing a report that such information
should be held confidential, the portions of a report which might disclose trade secrets or
secret processes shall not be made available for inspection by the public and shall be
treated in accordance with the procedures in 40 CFR 2 (Public Information), but shall be
made available immediately upon request to governmental agencies for uses related to
the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System program or pretreatment program,
and in enforcement proceedings involving the person providing the report, unless so
prohibited by 40 CFR 2 (Public Information). Wastewater constituents and characteristics
and other effluent data as defined by 40 CFR 2.302 will not be recognized as confidential
information and will be available to the public without restriction.

sections of this Code governing such nuisances, including reimbursing the city for any
costs incurred in removing, abating, or remedying the nuisance.
Secs. 106-616-106-625. - Reserved.
Subdivision III. - Administrative Enforcement
Sec. 106-626. - Authority of Control Authority.
The Control Authority may issue orders without notice or opportunity for prior hearing,
requiring compliance with standards developed under the authority of the act under 40
CFR 403.8(f)(1)(iii).
Sec. 106-627. - Notification of violation.
When the Control Authority finds that a user has violated or continues to violate any
section of this ordinance, a wastewater discharge permit or order issued under this
PAGE 16 OF 52 PAGES
AGENDA ITEM NO. 6.B
ordinance or any other pretreatment standard or requirement, the Control Authority may
serve upon that user a written notice of violation. Within 14 days of the receipt date of this
notice, an explanation of the violation and a plan for the satisfactory correction and
prevention thereof, to include specific required actions, shall be submitted by the user to
the Control Authority. Submission of this plan in no way relieves the user of liability for
any violations occurring before or after receipt of the notice of violation. Nothing in this
subdivision shall limit the authority of the Control Authority to take any action, including
emergency action, without first issuing a notice of violation.
Sec. 106-628. - Consent orders.
The Control Authority is empowered to enter into consent orders, assurances of
voluntary compliance, or other similar documents establishing an agreement with any
user responsible for noncompliance with this ordinance. Such documents will include the
specific action to be taken by the user to correct the noncompliance within a time period
also specified by the document. Such document shall have the same force and effect as
the administrative orders issued pursuant to sections 106-630 and 106-631 and shall be
judicially enforceable.
Sec. 106-629. - Show cause hearing.
The Control Authority may order a user which has violated or continues to violate any
section of this ordinance, a wastewater discharge permit or order issued under this
ordinance or any other pretreatment standard or requirement to appear before the Control
Authority and show cause why the proposed enforcement action should not be taken.
Notice shall be served on the user specifying the time and place for the meeting, the
proposed enforcement action, the reasons for such action, and a request that the user
show cause why the proposed enforcement action should not be taken. The notice of the
meeting shall be served personally or by registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested, at least ten days prior to the hearing. Such notice may be served on any
authorized representative of the user. A show of cause hearing shall not be a bar against
or prerequisite for taking any other action against the user. Whether or not a duly notified
user appears as noticed, immediate enforcement action may be pursued. Since the user
will have already been in SNC to necessitate the show cause hearing, any action taken
as a result of the hearing shall be in addition to any penalties levied for the SNC.
Sec. 106-630. - Compliance orders.
When the Control Authority finds that a user has violated or continues to violate any
section of this ordinance, a wastewater discharge permit or order issued under this
ordinance or any other pretreatment standard or requirement, the Control Authority may
issue an order to the user responsible for the discharge directing that the user come into
compliance within a specified time. If the user does not come into compliance within the
time provided, sewer and/or water service may be discontinued unless adequate
treatment facilities, devices, or other related appurtenances are installed and properly
operated. Compliance orders also may contain other requirements to address the
noncompliance, including the installation of pretreatment technology, additional self-
monitoring and management practices designed to minimize the amount of pollutants
discharged to the sewer. A compliance order may not extend the deadline for compliance
established for a pretreatment standard or requirement, nor does a compliance order
PAGE 17 OF 52 PAGES
AGENDA ITEM NO. 6.B
relieve the user of liability for any violation, including any continuing violation. Issuance of
a compliance order shall not be a bar against or a prerequisite for taking any other action
against the user.
Sec. 106-631. - Cease and desist orders.
(a) When the Control Authority finds that a user has violated or continues to violate any
section of this ordinance, a wastewater discharge permit or order issued under this
ordinance or any other pretreatment standard or requirement or that the user's past
violations are likely to recur, the Control Authority may issue an order to the user
directing it to cease and desist all such violations and directing the user to:
(1) Immediately comply with all requirements; and
(2) Take such appropriate remedial or preventative action as may be needed to
properly address a continuing or threatened violation, including halting operations
and/or terminating the discharge.
(b) Issuance of a cease and desist order shall not be a bar against or a prerequisite for
taking any other action against the user.
Sec. 106-632. - Administrative fines.
(a) When the Control Authority finds that a user has violated or continues to violate any
section of this ordinance, a wastewater discharge permit or order issued under this
ordinance or any other pretreatment standard or requirement, the Control Authority
may fine such a user in an amount not to exceed $2,000.00. Such fine shall be
assessed on a per-violation, per-day basis. For monthly or other long-term average
discharge limits, fines shall be assessed for each day during the period of violation.
Such assessments may be added to the user's next scheduled sewer service charge,
and the Control Authority shall have such other collection remedies as he has to collect
other service charges.
(b) Unpaid charges, fines, and penalties shall, after 14 calendar days, be assessed an
additional penalty of ten percent of the unpaid balance, and interest shall accrue
thereafter at a rate of one percent per month for every month unpaid up to a maximum
of ten percent per month.
(c) A user desiring to dispute such fine must file a written request for the Control Authority
to reconsider the fine along with full payment of the fine amount within ten days of
being notified of the fine. When the Control Authority believes a request has merit, the
Control Authority may convene a hearing on the matter within 15 days of receiving a
request from the user. If the user's appeal is successful, the payment, together with
any interest accruing thereto, shall be returned to the user. The Control Authority may
add the costs of preparing administrative enforcement actions, such as notices and
orders, to the fine.
(d) Issuance of an administrative fine shall not be a bar against or a prerequisite for taking
any other action against the user.
Sec. 106-633. - Emergency suspensions.
PAGE 18 OF 52 PAGES
AGENDA ITEM NO. 6.B
(a) The Control Authority may immediately suspend a user's discharge and/or water
service, after informal notice to the user, whenever such suspension is necessary to
stop an actual or threatened discharge which reasonably appears to present or cause
an imminent or substantial endangerment to the health or welfare of persons. The
Control Authority may also immediately suspend a user's discharge and/or water
service, after notice and opportunity to respond, that threatens to interfere with
operation of the publicly owned treatment works or which presents, or may present,
an endangerment to the environment.
(b) Any user notified of a suspension of its discharge shall immediately stop or eliminate
its contribution. If a user fails to immediately comply voluntarily with the suspension
order, the Control Authority may take such steps as deemed necessary, including
immediate severance of the sewer connection, to prevent or minimize damage to the
publicly owned treatment works, its receiving stream, or endangerment to any
individuals. The Control Authority may allow the user to recommence its discharge
when the user has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Control Authority that the
period of endangerment has passed, unless the termination proceedings in section
106-634 are initiated against the user.
(c) A user that is responsible, in whole or in part, for any discharge presenting imminent
endangerment shall submit a detailed written statement, describing the causes of the
harmful contribution and the measures taken to prevent any future occurrence, to the
Control Authority prior to the date of any show cause or termination hearing under
section 106-629 or 106-634.
(d) Nothing in this subdivision shall be interpreted as requiring a hearing prior to any
emergency suspension under this section.
Sec. 106-634. - Termination of discharge.
(a) In addition to section 106-765, any user who violates the following conditions is subject
to discharge termination:
(1) Violation of wastewater discharge permit conditions;
(2) Failure to accurately report the wastewater constituents and characteristics of its
discharge;
(3) Failure to report significant changes in operations or wastewater volume,
constituents, and characteristics prior to discharge;
(4) Refusal of reasonable access to the user's premises for the purpose of inspection,
monitoring, sampling or industry categorization verification;
(5) Violation of the pretreatment standards in subdivision II of division 4 of this
ordinance;
(6) Violation of any applicable state or federal law; or
(7) Tampering with sampling equipment, sampling lines, or otherwise interfering with
sampling or samples collected for the purpose of influencing or manipulating
sample test results.
PAGE 19 OF 52 PAGES
AGENDA ITEM NO. 6.B
(b) Such user will be notified of the proposed termination of its discharge and be offered
an opportunity to show cause under section 106-629 why the proposed action should
not be taken. Exercise of this option by the Control Authority shall not be a bar to or a
prerequisite for taking any other action against the user.
Sec. 106-635. - Liquidated damages.
(a) Each wastewater discharge use permit issued to an industrial user, and as a condition
of issuing such permit, shall contain the following:
"In the event that the Control Authority determines that any user is in violation of any
provisions of Chapter 106, Ordinance VII of the Code of Ordinances of the City of
Wichita Falls, Texas, its wastewater discharge permit, or orders issued hereunder, or
any other pretreatment standard or requirement, the Control Authority shall notify the
user of such violation and require the user to cure the violation within the time
specified in the notice. The user shall respond in writing to the notice of violation within
10 business days from receipt of such notice, setting forth the steps taken to correct
the violation. The Control Authority may extend the time for such response upon a
showing of just cause by the user. If the Control Authority determines that the user is
continuing the violation, the Control Authority may assess liquidated damages at a
minimum of$1,000.00 per violation, per day."
(b) The user retains the right to seek review by the city council of any damages assessed
under this section and the wastewater discharge permit.
(c) Assessments may be added to the user's next scheduled sewer service charge, and
the Control Authority shall have such other collection remedies as may be available
for other service charges and fees.
(d) Issuance of an assessment under this section shall not be a prerequisite for taking
any other action against the user.

Subdivision V. - Affirmative Defenses to Discharge Violations
Sec. 106-691. - Act of God Affirmation Defense
If a person can establish that an event that would otherwise be a violation of this
ordinance within the Control Authority's jurisdiction or an ordinance adopted or an order
or a permit issued under such an ordinance was caused solely by an act of God, war,
strike, riot, or other catastrophe, the event is not a violation of the ordinance or permit.
Sec. 106-692. - Prohibited discharge standards.
A user shall have an affirmative defense to an enforcement action brought against
him for noncompliance with the general prohibitions in section 106-816 or the specific
prohibitions in section 106-817 if the user can prove that he did not know or have reason
to know that the discharge, alone or in conjunction with discharges from other sources,
would cause pass through or interference and that either:
(1) A local limit exists for each pollutant discharged and the user was in compliance
with each limit directly prior to and during the pass through or interference; or
(2) No local limit exists, but the discharge did not change substantially in nature or
constituents from the user's prior discharge when the city was regularly in
compliance with its National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit and,
in the case of interference, was in compliance with applicable sludge use or
disposal requirements.

Bypass means the intentional diversion of wastestreams from any portion of a user's
treatment facility.
Severe property damage means substantial physical damage to property, damage to
the treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and
permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the
absence of a bypass. The term "severe property damage" does not mean economic loss
caused by delays in production.
(b) A user may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause pretreatment standards
or requirements to be violated, but only if it also is for essential maintenance to ensure

may waive the written report on a case-by-case basis if the oral report has been
received within 24 hours.
(d) Enforcement action curtailments shall be as follows:
(1) Bypass is prohibited, and the Control Authority may take an enforcement action
against a user for a bypass, unless:
a. Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury, or severe
property damage;
b. There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary
treatment facilities, retention of untreated wastes, or maintenance during
normal periods of equipment downtime. This condition is not satisfied if
adequate backup equipment should have been installed in the exercise of
reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during
normal periods of equipment downtime or preventative maintenance; and
c. The user submitted notices as required under subsection (c) of this section.
(2) The Control Authority may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its
adverse effects, if the Control Authority determines that it will meet the three

(3) Solid or viscous substances in an amount which will cause obstruction of the flow
in the publicly owned treatment works resulting in interference, but in no case
solids greater than two inches or five centimeters in any dimension.
(4) Pollutants, including oxygen-demanding pollutants (BOD, etc.), released in a
discharge at a flow rate and/or pollutant concentration which, either singly or by
interaction with other pollutants, will cause interference with the publicly owned
treatment works.
(5) Heat in amounts which will inhibit biological activity in the treatment plant resulting
in interference, but in no case heat in such quantities which causes the
temperature at the introduction into the treatment plant to exceed 104 degrees
Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius).
(6) Petroleum oil, nonbiodegradable cutting oil, or products of mineral oil origin, in
amounts that will cause interference or pass through.
(7) Pollutants which result in the presence of toxic gases, vapors, or fumes within the

(a) The categorical pretreatment standards found at 40 CFR chapter I, subchapter N,
parts 405-471 are incorporated. All existing or new users shall also comply with all
applicable pretreatment standards and requirements, including those set forth in 40
CFR 403.6.
(b) When wastewater subject to a categorical pretreatment standard is mixed with
wastewater not regulated by the same standard, the Control Authority shall impose an
alternate limit using the combined wastestream formula in 40 CFR 403.6(e).
(c) A user may obtain a variance from a categorical pretreatment standard if the user can
prove, pursuant to the procedural and substantive provisions in 40 CFR 403.13, that
factors relating to its discharge are fundamentally different from the factors considered
by the Environmental Protection Agency when developing the categorical
pretreatment standard.
(d) A user may obtain a net gross adjustment to a categorical standard in accordance
with 40 CFR 403.15.
(1) Categorical Pretreatment Standards may be adjusted to reflect the presence of
pollutants in the Industrial User's intake water in accordance with this section. Any
Industrial User wishing to obtain credit for intake pollutants must make application
to the Control Authority. Upon request of the Industrial User, the applicable
Standard will be calculated on a "net" basis (i.e., adjusted to reflect credit for
pollutants in the intake water) if the requirements of paragraph (2) of this section
are met.
(2) Criteria
(i) Either (i) The applicable categorical Pretreatment Standards contained in
40 CFR subchapter N specifically provide that they shall be applied on a net
basis; or (ii) The Industrial User demonstrates that the control system it
proposes or uses to meet applicable categorical Pretreatment Standards
would, if properly installed and operated, meet the Standards in the absence
of pollutants in the intake waters.
(ii) Credit for generic pollutants such as biochemical oxygen demand (BOD),
total suspended solids (TSS), and oil and grease should not be granted
unless the Industrial User demonstrates that the constituents of the generic
measure in the User's effluent are substantially similar to the constituents
of the generic measure in the intake water or unless appropriate additional
limits are placed on the process water pollutants either at the outfall or
elsewhere.
(iii) Credit shall be granted only to the extent necessary to meet the applicable
categorical Pretreatment Standards(s), up to a maximum value equal to the
influent value. Additional monitoring may be necessary to determine
eligibility for credits and compliance with Standard(s) adjusted under this
section.
(iv) Credit shall be granted only if the User demonstrates that the intake water
is drawn from the same body of water as that into which the POTW
PAGE 34 OF 52 PAGES

discharges. The Control Authority may waive this requirement if it finds that
no environmental degradation will result.
Sec. 106-819. - State pretreatment standards.
State requirements and limitations on discharges to the publicly owned treatment
works shall be met by all dischargers which are subject to such standards in any instance
in which they are more stringent than federal requirements and limitations or those in this
ordinance or any other applicable ordinance.
Sec. 106-820. - Local limits.
(a) The city has two publicly owned treatment works: POTW #1, known as the Northside
Treatment Plant, located at 5645 Burkburnett Road, Wichita Falls, Texas, and POTW
#2, known as the Wichita Falls Resource Recovery Facility, located at 1005 River
Road, Wichita Falls, Texas. As these two publicly owned treatment works have
different capacities, flow characteristics, and receiving waters, the city has developed
maximum allowable discharge limits for industrial users for each treatment works.
(b) Each industrial discharger will be required to adhere to those limits established at the
treatment works receiving its wastewater discharge. The following local limits are
established to protect against pass through and interference and to protect sludge
quality. These limits are deemed Pretreatment Standards for the purpose of section
307(d) of the Act. Except as provided, no person shall discharge wastewater in excess
of the following maximum allowable discharge limits:

(c) Discharge of wastewater containing BOD and/or TSS in concentrations greater than
300 mg/I and fats, oils and grease in concentrations greater than 100 mg/I will be
subject to a sewer surcharge at a rate set by the city council to defray the additional
costs of treatment for excessive BOD, TSS and fats, oils and grease at the publicly
owned treatment works.
(d) The surcharge will be an additional charge to the current monthly industrial sewer
charge. The surcharge will not be retroactive, but will continue until such time
subsequent tests determine that the surcharge requires adjustment.
(e) The limits in this section applies to Local Limits only at the point where the wastewater
is discharged to the publicly owned treatment works. All concentrations for metallic
substances are for total metal unless indicated otherwise. The Control Authority may
impose mass limitations in addition to the concentration-based limitations in this
section.
(f) The Control Authority may impose additional and/or alternative limits by permit on
specific individual industrial users. These limits shall be technically based on the
allowable loading of the specified pollutant at the appropriate treatment plant. In no
case shall these additional and/or alternative limits be less stringent than the above
limits, or any applicable federal or state statute.
(g) The Control Authority may develop Best Management Practices (BMPs), by ordinance
or in individual wastewater discharge permits, to implement Local Limits and the
requirements of this ordinance.
Sec. 106-821. - City's right of revision.
The city reserves the right to establish, by ordinance or in wastewater discharge
permits, more stringent standards or requirements on discharges to the publicly owned
treatment works.
Sec. 106-822. - Dilution.
No user shall ever increase the use of process water or in any other way attempt to
dilute a discharge as a partial or complete substitute for adequate treatment to achieve
compliance with a discharge limitation unless expressly authorized by an applicable
pretreatment standard or requirement. The Control Authority may impose mass limitations
on users who are using dilution to meet applicable pretreatment standards or
requirements or in other cases when the imposition of mass limitations is appropriate.

Subdivision III. - Pretreatment Requirements
Sec. 106-851. - Pretreatment facilities.
Users shall provide necessary wastewater treatment to comply with this ordinance
and shall achieve compliance with all applicable categorical pretreatment standards, local
limits, and the prohibitions established by this ordinance in subdivision II of this division
within the time limitations specified by the Environmental Protection Agency, the state, or
the Control Authority, whichever is more stringent. Any facilities necessary for compliance
shall be provided, operated, and maintained at the user's expense. Detailed plans
describing such facilities and operating procedures shall be submitted to the Control
Authority for review and shall be acceptable to the Control Authority before such facilities
are constructed. The review of such plans and operating procedures shall in no way
relieve the user from the responsibility of modifying such facilities as necessary to
produce a discharge acceptable to the city under this ordinance.
Sec. 106-852. - Additional pretreatment measures.
(a) Whenever deemed necessary, the Control Authority may require users to restrict their
discharge during peak flow periods, designate that certain wastewater be discharged
only into specific sewers, relocate and/or consolidate points of discharge, separate
sewage wastestreams from industrial wastestreams, and meet such other conditions
as may be necessary to protect the publicly owned treatment works and determine
the user's compliance with the requirements of this ordinance.
(b) The Control Authority may require any person discharging into the publicly owned
treatment works to install and maintain, on his property and at his expense, a suitable
storage and flow-control facility to ensure equalization of flow. A wastewater discharge
permit may be issued solely for flow equalization. All records, charts, recorded charts
or strips, and logs of such controls shall be maintained and provided upon request of
the Control Authority.
(c) Grease, oil, and sand interceptors or traps shall be provided when, in the opinion of
the Control Authority, they are necessary for the proper handling of wastewater
containing excessive amounts of grease and oil or sand; however, such interceptors
or traps shall not be required for residential users. All interception units shall be of a
type and capacity approved by the Control Authority and shall be so located to be
easily accessible for cleaning and inspection. Such interceptors or traps shall be
inspected, cleaned, and repaired regularly, as needed, by the user at his expense. A
record of maintenance, repairs, and a log of pumping and waste hauling of contents
shall be maintained and provided to the Control Authority upon request.
(d) Users with the potential to discharge flammable substances may be required to install
and maintain an approved combustible gas detection meter.
(e) The Control Authority may require any user to install or have installed at the user's
expense a control manhole, of a size and construction approvable by the Control

locks, lights, signs, or any other device to ensure the security and safety of Control
Authority personnel and sampling equipment.
Sec. 106-853. - Accidental discharge and slug control plans.
(a) Within one year of being designated as a SIU and at least once every two years
thereafter whether each SIU needs a plan or other action to control slug discharges.
The Control Authority may require any user to develop, submit for approval, and
implement such a plan or take such other action that may be necessary. Alternatively,
the Control Authority may develop such a plan for any user. An accidental discharge
plan shall address, at a minimum, the following:
(1) Description of discharge practices, including nonroutine batch discharges;
(2) Description of stored chemicals;
(3) Procedures for immediately notifying the Control Authority, other regulatory
agencies such as the EPA and the approval authority, and the appropriate
wastewater treatment plant of any accidental or slug discharge, as required by
section 106-886; and
(4) Procedures to prevent adverse impact from any accidental or slug discharge. Such
procedures include but are not limited to inspection and maintenance of storage
areas, handling and transfer of materials, loading and unloading operations,
control of plant site runoff, worker training, building of containment structures or
equipment, measures for containing toxic organic pollutants including solvents,
and/or measures and equipment for emergency response. The location of floor
drains, if present, and any other possible sources of introduction into the waste
stream or sanitary sewage system will also be identified.
(b) The Control Authority is required to keep records of the activities associated with slug
control evaluations and the results are required to be available to the Approval
Authority upon request.
Sec. 106-854. - Hauled wastewater.
The following requirements are in addition to section 106-311 and subdivision III of
division 2 of this ordinance:
(1) Septic tank waste shall only be introduced into the publicly owned treatment works
at locations designated by the publicly owned treatment works and at such times
as are established by the publicly owned treatment works. Such waste shall not
violate subdivision II of this division or any other requirements established by the
city. The Control Authority shall require septic tank waste haulers to obtain
wastewater discharge permits.
(2) The Control Authority may require haulers of industrial wastewater to obtain
wastewater discharge permits. The Control Authority may require generators of
hauled industrial wastewater to obtain wastewater discharge permits. The Control
Authority may also prohibit the disposal of hauled industrial wastewater. The
discharge of hauled industrial wastewater is subject to all other requirements of
this ordinance.
PAGE 38 OF 52 PAGES
AGENDA ITEM NO. 6.B
(3) Industrial wastewater haulers shall discharge loads only at locations designated
by the publicly owned treatment works. No load may be discharged without prior
consent of the publicly owned treatment works. The publicly owned treatment
works or the Control Authority may collect samples of each hauled load to ensure
compliance with applicable standards. The publicly owned treatment works or the
Control Authority may require the industrial wastewater hauler to provide a waste
analysis of any load prior to discharge.
(4) Industrial wastewater hauler must provide a trip ticket for every load.
(5) The superintendent of the POTW, or his designated representative, may at any
time and without prior notice, refuse to allow the discharge of any specific load of
hauled wastewater from any particular liquid waste hauler. This refusal may be
based upon such criteria as questionable physical characteristics of the hauled
wastewater (odor, color, etc.), past history of the manifested liquid waste
generator, or any other such information or judgment that the discharge may
adversely affect the POTW in any way. In the event of such refusal of discharge,
the wastehauler shall provide to the Control Authority within 30 days, a manifest
indicating the proper disposal of that load of hauled wastewater.
Sec. 106-855. - Disposal of contaminated water from leaking petroleum storage
tank sites.
(a) After treatment to specified standards, the contaminated water will be placed in a
sanitary sewer line where possible. Disposal into the sanitary sewer system will be
based on the quality of the water, the peak flow to be placed into the sewer, sewer
capacity available, and the availability of sanitary sewer systems.
(b) If necessary, the treated water can be placed into the storm drainage system. This
disposal method will require an approval authority permit to discharge the treated
water into the surface waters of the state. Disposal via the storm drain system must
not create a nuisance to the properties between the affected site and the public stream
where discharge is permitted by the approval authority.
(c) Where it is not possible or feasible to dispose of the treated waters in the sanitary
sewer or the disposal by storm drain will create a nuisance effect, and no other
disposal methods are available, the city will determine the improvements required in
the sanitary or storm drain systems to accept the flow. All improvements will be at the
sole expense of the owner of the contaminated site. All improvements must be
installed per city standards and procedures, and must be dedicated to the city.
(d) All waters from a contaminated site, before disposal into a sanitary sewer, must meet
the quality standards of this subdivision with the addition of the following standards for
BTEX, lead, and total hydro-carbons:
Chemical ug/liter mg/liter
Benzene 1,000 1.0
Toluene 1,000 1.0

Total petroleum
Hydrocarbons (TPH) 2.0
Lead (Wichita Falls Resource Recovery Facility POTW) 2.26
Lead (Northside POTW) I 0.58
(e) Prior to disposal of the treated water from the contaminated site, the site owner must
present to the Control Authority a copy of the approval authority approved plan for
corrective action and, as required, an approval authority permit to discharge to surface
waters. The Control Authority will be provided a copy of all laboratory tests conducted
to meet the approval authority requirements in the plan for corrective action. The
Control Authority may require additional tests beyond those of the approval authority
approved plan of corrective action.
(f) These procedures apply to either pump-and-treat flows or batch releases of treated
waters from contaminated sites. Under no circumstances will a site owner dispose of
treated waters from a LPST contaminated site in the city until authorized to do so by
the Control Authority.
(g) The owner will be required to obtain a permit from the Control Authority. This permit
must be renewed annually. The owner must pay an initial permit fee and an annual
fee to renew the permit. In addition, each month the owner may pay a fee to defray
the cost of reviewing lab results and the results of city-initiated sampling and testing
to ensure compliance with both the remedial action plan and the industrial
pretreatment ordinance. These costs must be paid until the site is closed by the
approval authority and disposal of treated waters has ceased. A statement of the
amount of these fees can be obtained from the Control Authority.
(h) If the treated water is disposed of in the sanitary sewer, there will be a minimum
monthly charge plus the current commodity charge per 1,000 gallons disposed. The
amount disposed generally shall be determined by the rated capacity of the pumps in
a pump-and-treat system or by the size of the container in a batch disposal system
(added).
Sec. 106-856. - Fraud and false statements.
The reports and other documents required to be submitted or maintained under this

(b) Industrial users shall notify the CA, EPA and state hazardous waste authorities in
writing of any discharge into the POTW of a substance which, if otherwise disposed
of, would be a hazardous waste under 40 CFR Part 261.
(c) Within five days following such discharge, the user shall, unless waived by the Control
Authority, submit a detailed written report describing the cause of the discharge and
the measures to be taken by the user to prevent similar future occurrences. Such
notification shall not relieve the user of any expense, loss, damage, or other liability
which may be incurred as a result of damage to the publicly owned treatment works,
natural resources, or any other damage to person or property; nor shall such
notification relieve the user of any fines, penalties, or other liability which may be
imposed pursuant to this division.
(d) Every significant industrial user shall permanently post a notice on the user's bulletin
board or other prominent place advising employees and contractors whom to call if a
discharge described in subsection (a) of this section occurs. Employers shall ensure

the Control Authority within 24 hours of becoming aware of the violation. The user shall
also repeat the sampling and analysis and submit the results of the repeat analysis to the
Control Authority within 30 days after becoming aware of the violation, except the
industrial user is not required to resample if the Control Authority performs sampling at
the industrial user:
(1) At a frequency of at least once a month; or
(2) Between the time when the user performs its initial sampling and the time when
the user receives the results of this sampling.
Sec. 106-890. - Discharge of hazardous waste.
Under this division, all users are prohibited from discharging hazardous waste.
Any user who commences the discharge of hazardous waste shall notify the POTW,
the EPA Regional Waste Management Division Director, and State hazardous waste
authorities, in writing, of any discharge into the POTW of a substance which, if otherwise
disposed of, would be a hazardous waste under 40 CFR Part 261.
Sec. 106-891. - Sampling and analytical requirements.
PAGE 46 OF 52 PAGES
AGENDA ITEM NO. 6.B
(a) All pollutant sampling and analyses to be submitted as part of a wastewater discharge
permit application or report shall be performed in accordance with the techniques
prescribed in 40 CFR 136 and amendments thereto, unless otherwise stated in an
applicable categorical pretreatment standard. Where 40 CFR 136 does not contain
sampling or analytical techniques for the pollutant in question or where the
administrator determines that the 40 CFR 136 sampling and analytical techniques are
inappropriate for the pollutant in question, sampling and analysis shall be performed
by using validated analytical methods or any other applicable sampling and analytical
procedures, including procedures suggested by the publicly owned treatment works
or other parties, approved by the administrator.
(b) A minimum of four grab samples must be used for pH, cyanide, total phenols, oil and
grease, sulfide, and volatile organics. For all other pollutants, 24-hour composite
samples must be obtained through flow-proportional composite sampling techniques
where feasible. The Control Authority may waive flow-proportional composite
sampling for any industrial user that demonstrates that flow-proportional sampling is
infeasible. In such cases, samples may be obtained through time-proportional
composite sampling techniques or through a minimum of four grab samples where the
user demonstrates that this will provide a representative sample of the effluent being
discharged.
(1) Any report required by the Control Authority must be based upon data obtained
through appropriate sampling and analysis performed during the period covered
by the report, which data are representative of conditions occurring during the
reporting period. The frequency of monitoring shall be of that frequency necessary
to assess and assure compliance by Industrial Users with applicable Pretreatment
Standards and Requirements. Grab samples must be used for temperature, pH,
cyanide, total phenols, oil and grease, sulfide, and volatile organic compounds.
For all other pollutants, 24-hour composite samples must be obtained through
flow-proportional composite sampling techniques, unless time-proportional
composite sampling or grab sampling is authorized by the Control Authority.
Where time-proportional composite sampling or grab sampling is authorized by
the Control Authority, the samples must be representative of the Discharge and
the decision to allow the alternative sampling must be documented in the Industrial
User file for that facility or facilities. Using protocols (including appropriate
preservation) specified in 40 CFR part 136 and appropriate EPA guidance,
multiple grab samples collected during a 24-hour period may be composited prior
to the analysis as follows: For cyanide, total phenols, and sulfides the samples
may be composited in the laboratory or in the field; for volatile organics and oil &
grease the samples may be com posited in the laboratory. Composite samples for
other parameters unaffected by the compositing procedures as documented in
approved EPA methodologies may be authorized by the Control Authority, as
appropriate.
(2) All analyses shall be performed in accordance with procedures established by the
Administrator pursuant to section 304(h) of the Act and contained in 40 CFR Part
136 and amendments thereto or with any other test procedures approved by the
Administrator. (See, §§136.4 and 136.5.) Sampling shall be performed in
PAGE 47 OF 52 PAGES
AGENDA ITEM NO. 6.B
accordance with the techniques approved by the Administrator. Where 40 CFR
part 136 does not include sampling or analytical techniques for the pollutants in
question, or where the Administrator determines that the part 136 sampling and
analytical techniques are inappropriate for the pollutant in question, sampling and
analyses shall be performed using validated analytical methods or any other
sampling and analytical procedures, including procedures suggested by the

PAGE 50 OF 52 PAGES
AGENDA ITEM NO. 6.B
(a) Abnormal sewage shall be defined as sewage containing BOD and/or TSS in
concentrations greater than 300 mg/I and/or fats, oils and grease in concentrations
greater than 100 mg/I.
(b) Any industrial user whose discharge contains abnormal sewage shall be subject to a
monthly sewage surcharge payable to the city utility collection division. The surcharge
shall be in addition to monthly sewer service charges. Monthly surcharges shall stay
in effect until such time as the industrial user demonstrates that it has reduced the
abnormality. The reduction must be attained in accordance with section 106-822 and
subdivision III of division 4 of this ordinance. The surcharge shall be based on data
determined by approved methods of the Environmental Protection Agency (see 40
CFR 136). This data shall be derived from all sampling done at least in the previous
six-month period, but this period may be longer if deemed appropriate by the Control
Authority. The Control Authority reserves the right to either increase or decrease the
surcharge at any time to reflect additional data from sampling.
(c) The surcharge for abnormal BOD shall be established by separate ordinance. Any
discharge of water or wastewater with a concentration of BOD more than five times
the average 24-hour concentration of normal operations of the industrial user shall be
prohibited without the prior notification and specific permission of the Control
Authority.
(d) The surcharge for abnormal TSS shall be established by separate ordinance. Any
discharge of water or wastewater with a concentration of TSS more than five times
the average 24-hour concentration of normal operations of the industrial user shall be
prohibited without the prior notification and specific permission of the Control
Authority.
(e) The surcharge for abnormal fats, oils and grease shall be established by separate
ordinance. Discharge of fats, oils and grease over 500 mg/I is prohibited.
(f) Each surcharge shall be assessed separately. For sewage containing more than one
abnormal constituent, the surcharges shall be added together.
(g) This charge shall be reviewed annually by the Control Authority who may recommend
to the city council adjustments as necessary to reflect true costs to the city.
Secs. 106-924-106-950. - Reserved.
SECTION 2. Severability. If any provision of this ordinance is invalidated by any
court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall not be affected and shall

ITEM/SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing the replacement of a 60,000 pound,
pressurized, Carbon Dioxide tank at the Jasper Water Treatment
Plant, by Green and Sustainable Services, LLC, in the amount of
$274,240.00.
INITIATING DEPT: Public Works and Finance/Purchasing
STRATEGIC GOAL: Provide Adequate Infrastructure
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: Rehabilitate or Replace Outdated Public Facilities
COMMENTARY: The Jasper Water Treatment Plant has a standardized set of
treatment processes to produce drinking water for the citizens of Wichita Falls and its 15
Wholesale customers. One of those processes requires the use of Carbon Dioxide to
stabilize the water for protection of the distribution piping system.
The current Carbon Dioxide storage tank at Jasper is approaching 40 years of age and
is showing signs of deterioration that could lead to catastrophic failure of the tank. To
ensure a safe working environment for the plant staff and the surrounding neighborhood,
as well as, the uninterrupted continuation of the necessary treatment process, it is
recommended that the existing storage tank be replaced with a new storage tank.
The tank replacement is currently budgeted this fiscal year for$250,000.00. A Buy Board
member, Green and Sustainable Services LLC, has supplied a quote for the fabrication
of a new Carbon Dioxide tank, removal of the existing tank and installation of the new
tank, to include all fittings and piping at a cost of $274,240.00. The additional funding of
$24,240.00 will be found by staff through savings in other areas of the Water Purification
budget.
Staff recommends award of the tank replacement to Green and Sustainable Services
LLC, a Buyboard member, at a cost of$274,240.00.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.D
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA
April 20, 2021
ITEM/SUBJECT: Resolution allowing the City-owned property located at 1823 5th,
Street also known as Lot 1-C, Block 7, Bellevue Addition, Wichita
Falls, Wichita County, Texas to be sold to The Redeemed Christian
Church of God for$300,000 as authorized by Section 272.001 of the
Texas Government Code and authorizing execution of a Warranty
Deed to convey title.
INITIATING DEPT: City Manager/Property Administration
STRATEGIC GOAL: Accelerate Economic Growth
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: Revitalize Depressed and Declining Neighborhoods
COMMENTARY:
The City acquired the property in 1904, leased it to the U.S. Navy from 1946 until 1993,
and then leased it to WFISD for use as the Denver Alternative School until the District
vacated the site last year. Subsequently, on November 3, 2020, the City Council
authorized staff to offer the property for sale by sealed bid.
As required by law, the property has recently been appraised by an independent certified
appraiser and the "fair market value" was determined to be $445,000. The City, having
met all advertising and notice requirements, has the ability to sell for less than the
appraised value when appraised value offers are not submitted. The only bid to date
received for the property is the subject bid from the Redeemed Christian Church of God.
Staff recommends approval of the resolution to enter into contract with The Redeemed
Christian Church of God for the offer price of$300,000 and authorizing the City Manager
to execute all necessary documents to complete the sale.

AGENDA ITEM NO.7.F
When we initially discussed the possibility of this project,we had enough cash reserves
to cover the anticipated project cast of about$300,000.In calculating the payback
period,we were looking at about 5 1/2 years to recoup our investment. With the
additional expenses of the sewer line and grease trap we are now facing a payback
period of over 6 1/2 years that will deplete our cash reserves and may put a halt to the
project. If the 4B board could help with these expenses,then it becomes a viable
project once again. It becomes a win for everyone involved. 8th St Coffee House has a
newly remodeled larger space with outside seating and a drive through which will
attract more visitors downtown.
3. Why were these additional investments not anticipated(infrastructure upgrade and new sewer
main,etc.)?
The current site formally Fidelity Bank did not have any sewer service for this lot or
existing bank building.Past tenants have been able to use the facilities within the
adjoining building,Chelsea Plaza 909 8`1'Street.When looking at the project in the
beginning the thought was to tie the new sewer system into the Chelsea Plaza sanitary
sewer.However,as we investigated the existing conditions the engineers and plumbers
determined there was not sufficient fall or access for extending the sewer into the other
building.The only other option was routing new sewer lines around the building and
back to the city main in the alley to the southwest.BYSP shared this approach with City
staff(Rick Branum&Blanc Boswell)and received an email dated 2/26/21 informing our
group this approach would be acceptable if the portion of the work completed in the
Right-of-Way was a City main and built to city specs.With this direction we reached out
to Leo Lane of James Lane to provide us with a cost estimate.After reviewing the
proposed sewer design James Lane provided an estimate to extend a city sewer line up
8'street for an estimated cost of$55,700.(See attached email)
4. It would also be beneficial to have some basic interior layout plan views to help the board get a
sense of the new use and change from the bank lobby to all new coffee bar/restaurant.
Please see the PDF Progress Set of Architectural Drawings included in this submittal
package for reference.
The Chelsea Plaza development group is passionate about being a key contributor in the successful
enhancement of our beloved downtown and this project is one of many we plan to develop of the next
several years to build on the early successes.We will continue working with local architects and
contractors to complete our design package for permitting and construction with hopes of starting the
project this spring.Thank you for your consideration and if any additional information is required or you
have any questions,please let us know as we would be happy to help.
Sincerely,
Jerry Skelton,President
Chelsea Plaza,LLC

Dear Mr.Leiker,
The term of Mr.Glenn Barham,of Wichita Falls,one of the"cities appointees"to the Wichita-
Wilbarger 9-1-1 District Board of Managers,expires on May 11,2021. Mr.Barham has expressed his
interest and willingness to be reappointed to the board. Mr.Barham has represented all of the cities
within our district with honor and integrity.
I want to take a moment to explain the Board of Managers structure. The legislature which
governs this 9-1-1 Board is the"Health and Safety Code,Title 9,ch.772,subchapter d,"for counties
with a population over 20,000,and the legislated board makeup is a follows:
I.Two members appointed by the commissioners court from the original county in the district.
(W ich ita)
2.Two members appointed jointly by all the participating municipalities in the district. (One of
these positions is the subject of this letter.) These appointees represent all of the cities in the
district collectively.
3.One member appointed jointly by the volunteer fine departments. This member represents all
volunteer fire departments in the district.
4.One member appointed by counties,which joined the district subsequent to its inception.
(Wilbarger)
5. One non-voting member appointed by the principal service supplier.
I request that you place the appointment of a"cities"representative to our board of managers on
a future council agenda prior to May 11,2021.. Please let me know of your decision by way of a certified
copy of your minutes.
Respectfully,
L.P 1 Hopi('xs,J.D.
