House July 4th parade held on Saturday was a nice event, and there was a great turnout
for Fourth in the Falls. Thank you to everyone that participated this weekend.

Item 9 — Comments from the Public to Members of the City Council Concerning
Items That Are Not on the City Council Agenda
9:02 a.m.
Michael Kurtz, 4215 Idlewood Drive, discussed property at 4605 Lakeshore Drive where
American Legion Post 169 is located. He stated that this property has been maintained
by the Post since 1969, discussed his concerns regarding the proposed walking trail,
and discussed how the property is used by veterans. Mr. Kurtz discussed issues
veterans face, and how Post 169 has served our community. They are an asset to the
community and he hopes the Council will treat them as such.
Charles Barrett, 4611 Meadow Lake Drive, member of American Legion Post 169,
discussed services they provide, and his concerns regarding the walking trail proposed
behind the Post. Mr. Barrett discussed issues veterans face, and the other property
owners that will be affected by the trail.
Craig Rause, 930 Tejas Dr., Burkburnett, read a prepared statement from the Vice
Commander of American Legion Post 169 regarding concerns of opening the area
behind the Post to the public. He implored the council to consider the benefits of
allowing our veterans to continue to use this area behind the post as a place of safety,
and consider the ramifications of taking this property away from them.
Steve Sparks, 102 Chaparral, discussed the imminent mass evictions that will be
happening after the eviction moratorium is lifted. He discussed issues renters and
property owners are facing. Mr. Sparks attended a White House Zoom meeting
regarding how cities and counties can disburse emergency rental assistance funds
available. He expressed his desire to create an eviction diversion team to assist with
the plan and fund distribution, and asked the City Council to consider having a member
on the eviction diversion team. Mr. Sparks asked the Council to consider allowing the
use of city communication channels to distribute information, and possible assistance
from city staff regarding procurement of federal funds.
Kris Gossom, 2416 Barbados, Executive Director of Interfaith Outreach Services,
addressed the Council and discussed how they provide assistance for rent and
household expenses. She is very concerned about what will happen to families who
have been unable to pay rent and are now several months behind, after the eviction
moratorium ends. They have seen several ways that landlords have circumvented the
eviction moratorium. They do not have the funds to support the need, and would like a
centralized place for citizens to go to apply for assistance, and asked for the Councils
support.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA
July 20, 2021
ITEM/SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing the City Manager to award bid and contract
for the Duncan Channel Access Road to Knight Erosion Control, Inc.
dba KEC Retaining Walls & Construction Inc. in the amount of
$267,811.90.
INITIATING DEPT: Public Works
STRATEGIC GOAL: Provide Quality Infrastructure
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: Evaluate Alternative Options for Financing Infrastructure
COMMENTARY: The Duncan Drainage Channel is the largest drainage structure that
serves the east side of the city. The channel is approximately 20 feet deep at its discharge
point into the Wichita River and extends from the Wichita River to Harding Street. A
significant portion of the channel is concrete lined with 2:1 side slopes and is gated, which
allows for the channel to be isolated from the Wichita River during flood events. The
channel was constructed in the 1960's and has begun to deteriorate with the sidewalls
buckling and the floor cracking and separating from the walls. There is also a 21" sanitary
sewer line that crosses thru the channel, making the lower reach of the channel
inaccessible for repair work.
On June 29, 2021, bids were opened for the project to create a concrete roadway to allow
for access to the Duncan channel for future maintenance and repair.
The bids received for this project are as follows:
COMPANY AMOUNT
Knight Erosion Control, Inc. — Arlington, TX $267,811.90
dba KEC Retaining Walls &
Construction Inc.
Parker Concrete, LLC — Wichita Falls, TX $322,646.00
Earth Builders, L.P. — Decatur, TX $338,316.00
Construction of this project should require approximately 180 consecutive days to
complete.
The engineers estimate for this project was $350,000 and is funded through the
Stormwater Utility Fund in the current FY 2021 budget. Knight Erosion Control, Inc. dba
KEC Retaining Walls& Construction Inc. has completed similar projects for Oncor Electric

I. CALL TO ORDER
Keith Williamson, Chair called the meeting to order at 12:00 pm after a quorum of members was attained.
II. APPROVAL OF MINUTES AND ABSENCES
Keith Williamson called for the review and approval of the January 8, 2021 minutes with one wording correction
on page 3, paragraph 3 from interrupted to interpretation. Lauren Jansen introduced a motion to approve the
minutes with the correction noted and Melissa Plowman seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.
It was noted David Carlston as an excused absence.
III. COVID-19 UPDATE
Amy Fagan stated it has been a marvelous few weeks with such a difference in the number of cases and
hospitalizations. The first case was on the 181h of March 2020, in doing a year in review with Channel 3 came the
realization of all the time, hard work and components involved. Only had 4 cases today, 71 cases for the week,
it had gotten to 1,200 cases week after week, this week to have a 7.86% positivity rate is amazing.
COVID CASES BY RACE: The same trend continues in terms of disproportion in the number of Hispanic
individuals being effected by COVID at 23%. In the Asian population at 2% an increase in the last 4-5 months it
is not necessarily disproportionate but a change. The Black population stays at 8% which is a little lower than
what the population percentage is for the community.
COVID CASE STATUS: Is low; Recovered 97%, Hospitalized 0%, Recovering 1%, unfortunately Death 2% but
it has been that throughout the pandemic.
COVID CASES BY AGE GROUP: Has not changed much, do see a lower number of individuals that are over
the age of 65, as it would be seen with vaccine allocation according to age group. Do see that percentage pop
up in other sub-sets of the population, practically more in the 30's and less in the 20's. In the last month not many
kids, have only one school with an outbreak.
ACTIVE COVID HOSPITALIZATIONS: Down so much from where it was. Daily hospitalizations post the age and
status of the individual. In the last two out of five deaths was an individual in their 30's and one in their 40's. A
couple months ago saw a decline in those hospitalized percentage based of those over 65, mainly the 30's and
40's hospitalized. Individuals vaccinated now are age 65 and older, also the 16 and over with chronic conditions,
but typically over 40. That confers a secondary indication that vaccines are working as that percentage of people
in the hospital over age 65 has changed.
IN TERMS OF SPREAD: Under Investigation at 0% now often able to investigate a case the same day. Seen
increase in Community Spread at 44% used to be on point with Contact now at 36%.
Page 1 of 4
Agenda Item No.5.a.
Sometimes the State delays providing information with suggestions or how to handle issues. Reinfections was
one the State came out Wednesday with a definition. The Health District early on saw reinfection and worked
with Dr. McBroom to establish the criteria for reinfections and it aligns with the State criteria. If a previous case
meets the case standard definition for the second time after 90 days from symptom onset with symptoms it would
be considered a reinfection. Often times people are less sick and their symptoms resolve faster. To date at 29
reinfections, currently 5 are active cases with 1 individual on Hospice care.
Fully vaccinated (Pfizer, Moderna) means both shots and two weeks from the second dose. There are three
women fully vaccinated that have contracted COVID, one in February now two in March. Nothing is 100%
effective, expectation was 5% of vaccinated individuals may contract COVID which is not unusual. AU three had
a mild case with two of whom resolved within two days, hopefully there will not be many more.The Discontinuation
of Isolation and Quarantine protocol was modified about two to three weeks ago based on the new evidence
regarding vaccinations. In discussion with Dr. McBroom it was decided best to include vaccinated individuals
which means the 1 dose plus two weeks or 2 doses plus two weeks, with an exposure that would not require
quarantine, but still able to contract COVID need to limit interactions and wear face coverings at all times.
Lou Kreidler stated vaccines began at the end of December with 7,351 vaccinations given of those 3,144 are
second doses. This week received 200 doses of Johnson & Johnson (J&J) and had the first clinic on Tuesday.
Actually received only 100 doses from the State then'had 100 doses transferred to the Health District from a
provider in town unable to use the doses. People do call and only want J&J, Moderna or Pfizer, doing the best to
comply although people are encouraged to get vaccinated with whatever vaccine is available at the time. The
community continues to struggle with the number of vaccines received overall from the State, but hopeful with
the J&J will continue to see an increase of vaccines come in. As a community it does not matter whether they
come into the Health District or other providers, what is important is the community is getting vaccine and
vaccinated.
Judge Gossom asked if there was a total community number of shots delivered the first and the second. At the
City-County Hospital Board meeting it appeared 20,000 vaccinations had been given.
Lou Kreidler said DSHS does put information out, that Lindsay Barker, Public Information Director of
Communications and Marketing monitors and updates the City web page. Information is available from the State
for the total number of vaccines received and total number of second doses. Last week when the State sent out
what the allocations are for this week pharmacy allocations had been added as well. Beginning to see more
vaccines in the community and availability from the pharmacies.
Amy Fagan stated as of yesterday it is 20,584 first doses and 14,016 second doses. Those numbers do not
include when the Feds did direct shipments to Community Healthcare Center and the pharmacies, the numbers
should be even higher.
Lou Kreidler stated as a rriedical community everyone has worked well together, it has been about getting in
vaccines and getting vaccines into individuals. Several weeks the Health District was the only entity in town that
received vaccines and those were transferred to other entities so they would have vaccine, it gets vaccines into
individuals faster and still use what was allotted by the State.This week United Regional had vaccines transferred
from outside of town, so great not only in town transfer of vaccine into the community.
Judge Gossom wondered what was it with getting vaccine. Deputy Commissioner Garcia lumped Wichita County
in the region with the metroplex and said people can drive to the Texas Motor Speedway to get their shot.
Lou Kreidler replied she had conversations with Deputy Commissioner Garcia and another person that works in
her office it is the same way across the State, last week Decatur received less vaccines than the Health District.
The larger number of vaccines are funneled to hub locations in all eight service regions. Wichita County is part
of Region 2 which includes Dallas/Fort Worth, so Tarrant County, Dallas County and Collin County all have large
hubs set up. The Judge was referring to Denton's set up on a provider location at Texas Motor Speedway doing
10,000 vaccines a day. Wichita Falls is not alone not the only community in Texas that has the same frustrations
with the State on how vaccines have been received. Everyone continues as local Health Departments to face the
same issues and have the same conversations with the State. She does not know if it is going to make a
difference until the State starts to receive a larger amount of vaccine.
Dr. Williamson asked why the precipitous declining cases, any idea. He had gotten theories from it is seasonal
to done great with masks all of a sudden.
2
Page 2 of 4
Agenda Item No. 5.a.
Lou Kreidler thinks it is a combination of things; may be seasonal more people are getting outside, no big
gatherings as seen at Thanksgiving and Christmas, vaccinations make a difference continuance of more
individuals vaccinated.
Councilor Smith said it can be seen in the graphs the spikes following certain holidays and social gatherings.
Governor Abbott opening up all businesses 100%what is anticipated in the next two to three weeks as far as an
increase.
Amy Fagan stated in June cases were low and July was the beginning of the first spike it was summer but not a
lot of large gatherings, the primary spread was in Nursing homes and businesses. Nursing homes have done a
lot of work to ensure all their residents are vaccinated but speaking with some facilities Executive Directors half
of their staff did not take the vaccine, so all those facilities still require face coverings. Her concern is going back
to where businesses make the choice to mask or not mask. Businesses that had outbreaks prior to the mask
requirements are going to have those same outbreaks again. Outside of healthcare the businesses that had
outbreaks constituted a lot, so vaccines absolutely helped with the substantial decline.The healthcare community
needed to be vaccinated because they not only were getting sick but spreading disease. In industries most of the
individuals are age based in the 30's and 40's and some of these businesses had a lot of the outbreaks. In a
broad generalization not backed by hard evidence most people who work in the restaurants are age based in the
20's and 30's and not vaccinated because it has not been made available to that age group unless they have a
chronic condition. It is concerning because of what was seen back in July, if businesses make choices to remove
face covering requirements those are the populations that are going to get sick. Another concern is for bars and .
things of that nature where people are in a setting for a prolonged period of time,which did contribute to the July
outbreaks and people who work there tend not to be in the vaccinated group.Another is Spring Break people are
going to be traveling and returning to school, just thankful the schools will continue to require face coverings.
Case Managers are reminded the importance to continue to ask about the work environment on whether or not
face coverings are required. Quarantines are anticipated to rise but hopefully cases will remain low.
Dr. McBroom stated everything that Lou and Amy just talked about in regards to concerns about possibly a third
or fourth wave, those are all reasonable concerns. He thinks the relaxation of some of the mandates from the
Governor are a little bit of cause of concern but the only thing that can be predicted is the baseline prevalence.
We still do not know the number of people who had COVID that never had significant symptoms never got tested
therefore at least had some degree of partial immunity that contributes to the overall trends that herd immunity.
Bottom line is those numbers are not known so the true prevalence is not known. He thinks the businesses and
the people who are concerned about it probably will continue to keep the mask and people will continue to get
vaccinations. Hopefully there will not be a lot of increase in incidences in people who are neither vaccinated nor
taking personal protection safe guards seriously. Until there is herd immunity there may be some upticks as a
result.
Keith Williamson asked Dr. McBroom if he thought this was going to become an endemic phenomenon where a
booster is needed every year.
Dr. McBroom replied yes he believed it will be a recurrent phenomenon, that this is following the same kind of
behavior that the 1918 Flu Pandemic followed. Flu has become a seasonal phenomenon since then usually the
H1N1 variety. However, when predicting the pandemics of the novel H1N1 back in 2005 and again in 2014,
neither of those really materialized cause of serious concern. The reason for that is the benefit from the vaccine
and exposures because there is so many strains of influenza out there. There is some cause for protection with
awareness of the different South Africa, Brazil, English strains that are already out there.This is going to continue
to happen surprised it had not happened earlier in 2002 it turned out to be a fizzle and not sure why. if the Chinese
numbers can be trusted, then that suggests this type of coronavirus has been endemic in China for a long time.
The first SARS epidemic when it was traced to the exotic animal industry the people who handled those animals
already had antibodies never knew they were sick. There probably be reverses annually for a while until
development of the same type of herd immunity to the ever changing antigenic shifts influenza had, a problem
with the coronavirus genre as well, will get through it too just like getting through influenza. Nature needs a
vacuum once one problem is controlled something else comes up to take its place. It is just the nature of infectious
diseases seen it with every new developing vaccine throughout his 40-year career. He thinks this will probably
continue to decline in significance over the years.
IV. EBOLA UPDATE
The other day Lou Kreidler got notification of a health alert from DSHS of a new Ebola outbreak in Guinea. Earlier
today a meeting was held with all Community Partners, EMS, Fire, Police, SAFB, United Regional and a DSHS
representative on the call. The DSHS representative stated there are individuals in Texas being monitored that
have traveled from the infected areas. The outbreak is still in single digit numbers in 2014 the numbers were in
3
Page 3 of 4
Agenda Item No.5.a.
the thousands in some areas.The Health District in 2014 monitored individuals in the community which required
monitoring for 21 days after leaving the country of concern. Lou, Amy and three staff that are still here were
involved In the Ebola Response, teams are organized, the kits back out and a health alert was released to the
community.Also plan to work with the dispatch call centers to ensure travel questions are asked again since that
is the biggest risk. There is a vaccine but not sure what the efficacy is, there are a lot of issues, a lot of anti-
government trust issues in those areas. Ebola is on the Health District radar and will be prepared if notified by
CDC or DSHS of a traveler in the area.
Keith Williamson said after the meeting this morning he sent an email to both Chief of Police on MS1.1 campus
and the International Students Director of the situation.

The absence of Tanya Egloff and Lauren Jansen was noted as excused, Keith Williamson unexcused.
III. ANIMAL ORDINANCE REVIEW
Lou Kreidler informed the Board that some minor updates to the Animal Control Ordinance are needed and will
be up for review in July. The Off-Leash Dog Park changes are to clarify if an individual brings out two dogs the
dogs must be of the same size, so that the individual does not have one dog in the smaller area and the other in
the larger area standing at the fence of one area trying to manage the dog in the other area. Citizen complaints
are individuals that bring in a large and small dog may have the large dog in the small dog area which causes
issues with other dogs in that area. Another complaint is individuals that smoke throw their cigarette butts on the
ground of an area already ruled tobacco free, but want to contact Legal to designate the dog park as no smoking,
no vaping, rather than the tobacco free language. Dogs in the off-lease area are required to be fully vaccinated
so puppies are obviously too young to be in the area. The ordinance already states it is unlawful to bring an
animal with a bite history in the off-leash dog park whether deemed aggressive or dangerous, but the language
needs to be distinct it is prohibited. Addition of some legal language about responsibility that an individual enters
at their own risk. Animal Control was added to enforce the ordinance along with common sense factors, for
instance to ensure gates are fully closed before your dog is either off the leash before entrance or on the leash
upon exit. The Animal Control Ordinance currently states to adopt, all the animals in the home have to be micro-
chipped. People feel strongly in not wanting to micro-chip and refuse to adopt from the shelter for that reason.
Animal Control staff want to take out the micro-chip requirement being that it is better to get an animal out of the
shelter instead of force people to micro-chip their other animals when they do not want to.
Julie Gibson asked why are they against to micro-chip.
Lou Kreidler replied because that animal is theirs and should not be forced even though relatively inexpensive,
the same reason to not want to spay or neuter their pets. People with an animal impounded the first time are
Page 1 of 5
Agenda Item No. 5.c
required to pay for the spray or neuter of their animal once impounded but people are not following through. On
the second and third impound people prepay but do not get it done, even when most veterinarians do not refund
the money on no shows. Language will be added that probably on the third impoundment the animal will be held
and taken to the vet appointment as done with the adoptive animals. The Animal Shelter Advisory Committee
(ASAC) was presented these changes but asked for the Boards opinion on whether it should be the second or
third impound.
Julie Gibson agreed suggested the second impound, animals are out roaming for a reason generally to breed.
Melissa Plowman agreed.
Lou Kreidler said another issue after snowmageddon this year several calls came in about animals out in the
cold, normally officers do not go out but did because of the extreme cold. In one incident the people did not have
an appropriate dog house, the opening was too big per ordinance requirement, an officer did assist on how to
cover the dog house to block some incoming wind. There was not an instance where there was not a dog house
or the dog out in the elements without the appropriate shelter. An ASAC member requested to require all
individuals bring their animals in the house if the temperature falls below 44 degrees, but with that route Lou
thought it should be at freezing 32 degrees. In review of ordinances across the United States even up North in
areas with cold harsh weather all the time, no ordinance was found to require people to bring their animals inside
when freezing, there was requirements for appropriate bedding, shelter, those type of things. Julie Gibson was
asked how she felt about that and Councilor Smith on how he thought that would be received by Council.
Councilor.Smith thought there should be a given temperature below,what temperature below does the ordinance
now state. He thought it reasonable with no appropriate shelter to give a warning, put the dog in the house,
garage or buy a dog house.
Lou Kreidler replied there is a temperature for leaving an animal in a car which is below 44 or above 85 degrees,
but to her knowledge not an outside temperature below to bring animals inside. It is done now if people do not
have an appropriate dog house to bring the animal inside.
Julie Gibson was not sure someone can be made to bring their dog in the house because some dogs cannot be
contained inside and does not know whether that would be an issue for people. A lot of people use common
sense if it is that bad they are going to bring the dog inside.To snow like it did may be every so many years would
there be an actual need for an ordinance for when it does. The areas heat is more of an issue than the occasional
cold and dog houses are not always the answer for dogs to get out of the heat.
Lou Kreidler said the ordinance states food, water, shelter, shade, because an animal has to have shade. She
intends to email the proposed language for heat to get the Boards feedback.
Councilor Smith asked if the northern cities like Minneapolis, Chicago, Detroit specific a below temperature to
bring animals in.
Lou Kreidler said Minneapolis was specifically looked at, their requirement is for the dog house to be elevated off
the ground probably due to their amount of snow it would cover the front of the dog house. There was no
requirement to bring in animals and no temperature by which to bring in animals. Animal Services Administrator
Nicki Bacon did all that research, that information will be sent out, as well as changes are made, for the Board to
review. The Animal Ordinance will not be a full overhaul as previously it is just to clean up some items put in that
did not work, along with additions.
IV. COVID-19 DATA UPDATE
Amy Fagan said being cautious about everything, how it was done, incrementally done, not moving too fast,
served well.When it declined to 30 cases in a week, data was moved to once a week. Positivity rate is important
because it shows of those people tested for COVID-19 the percentage of people who are positive and negative.
Under 5 is preferable not only because it signifies a low disease burden in the community but also long term
healthcare facilities have to test staff and residents based upon the positivity rate. Anything under 5 the facility
does not have to test, over 5 have to test, between 5 and 10 test once a week, over 10 have to test twice a week.
Close of 4/30/21 was 41 cases at a 4.23% positivity rate, close of 5/7/21 was 48 cases at 7.4%, as of today
5/14/21 with 72 cases at 11.69%, the positively rate is up over 10% for the first time in 7 weeks. One thing that
compounds it is less people are tested, only testing when in known contact with someone or symptomatic once
concluded it is not allergies.
COVID Cases by Race: Somewhat at the same place with the majority of the population White 65%, Hispanic
remains 23%, increase last quarter in Asian population 2%, Other 1%. COVID Cases by Type: Continues with
2
Page 2 of 5
Agenda Item No.5.c
the highest number 44%Community Spread, 35%Contact,20%Close Contact, 1%Travel remains down.Active
COVID Cases by Day: Cases begin to go back up as in the previous summer, hopefully with vaccines will not
see an increase.
WICHITA COUNTY Vaccinations by Week indicates the number of Pfizer and Moderna vaccines administered
(not fully vaccinated). From vaccination start-up it was a big peak up to 5/17/21 then started to taper off, simply
got to the saturation point with adults now the struggle is to get people in to vaccinate. Some local health centers
that receive federal dollars provide incentives as seen nationally. Total Vaccinations by Organization/Type
provides doses administered by: Public Health Government 13,583, Health Centers (Community, Federally
Qualified, Migrant, Rural) 13,741, Pharmacies 16,979, Hospitals 26,838. Vaccinated with One Dose:41,301 and
Fully Vaccinated:35,168,the data is daily DSHS information from IMMTRAC it is reliant upon those administering
doses enter that information into IMMTRAC. Single dose Johnson & Johnson is counted in both places so
numbers are not askew because if in one dose it would appear people are not completing the series and if in fully
vaccinated it would be out paced. Fully Vaccinated by Age: 16-49 years 11,057, 50-64 years 10,226, 65-79 years
10,256, 80+ years 3,626, unknown 3. Fully Vaccinated by Race/Ethnicity: Asian 2.32%, Black 4.36%, Hispanic
9.65%, Other 6.98%, Unknown 19.46%, White 57.23%. A lot of information was not maintained and entered so
only have the data provided.
Currently there are 82 active COVID cases, double from last Friday and the Friday before.Vaccine breakthrough
cases are still reported, currently at 23 cases a significant increase of 5 from last week. The majority of the 23
cases are Pfizer not a lot of commonality two had the same lot number, one each of Moderna andJ&J, have
been vaccinating with Pfizer longer since December or possibly less effective, do not know. Reinfections are
currently at 60 up by 1. On the vaccine breakthrough Friday posts citizens asked to include whether or not
symptomatic, all 5 of the last breakthrough cases this week were symptomatic. Symptoms have been relatively
mild, none hospitalized. This week 1 death an individual in their 50's. There has been a significant increase in
the number of gatherings, two this week have come across in cases, a couple cases tied to MSU graduation.
Another was a MSU graduates private party at a small local restaurant of 75 to 100 individuals, shoulder to
shoulder, no masks worn, got 24 sick with COVID an official outbreak status at 3. There was another 100 person
Civic organization gathering where 2 individuals are believed to have contracted COVID, a real concern not to
have an index case may be more people associated with the outbreak until that other individual is found.
Melissa Plowman and her husband got their initial Moderna vaccination in Wichita Falls, the second in Lubbock
and asked if they are reflected fully vaccinated in Wichita County since it is their place of residence.
Amy Fagan answered at the place of vaccination some basic information should be taken your name, date of
birth, address and County of record that goes into IMMTRAC, the probability is your counted in Wichita County.
Paris Ward asked when individuals receive the vaccine is that reported on their actual vaccine record. Is there
any health risk if an individual does not know they have COVID and gets vaccinated? Should individuals get a
COVID test before receiving the vaccine?
Amy Fagan replied yes, the vaccine is entered into IMMTRAC and will be on their IMMTRAC record. Back in
December with the start of vaccinations noticed people whom had been vaccinated about 3 to 5 days later get
sick, got tested was COVID positive. Since studied some now the thought is getting the vaccine could push that
process in the body more than likely to get sick within 3 to 5 days and it is still seen. The challenge.to recommend
testing is that window you could have the virus, be tested and test negative believed to be in the clear and not.
Never seen a test recommendation prior to immunizations it might be something to consider for someone who is
immunocompromised or has significant issues where their body might react more strongly. Also seen people get
vaccinated while symptomatic, have two now one had a headache and one had sinus issues. People should
remember not to get vaccinated while having any symptom consistent with COVID, the Health District
recommendation is to test. The other day one positive case individual was also a vaccine break through case,
had attended a large gathering was symptomatic for 3 days so had no thought it was anything other than allergies
since vaccinated. That is something to be cognizant of, although not as common still needs to be considered.
Paris Ward asked if the large gatherings include outdoor gatherings such as baseball games, should people wear
masks outdoors.
Amy Fagan said the CDC has come out with official positions, outside is not as bad as inside, inside is shared
air, close spaces, and the probability to share items. Large gatherings typically result in an outbreak, before the
vaccine saw about 20% of individuals get sick, this gathering being higher do not know but possibly had some
other behaviors as shared smoking devices. People say all the time they wore a mask but no one else did so that
is how they got sick. It is all about virus and how it can be transmitted to someone it is basically in your spit.

V. COUNTY HEALTH RANKINGS
Amy Fagan presented the 2021 County Health Rankings& Roadmaps an annual release in partnership with the
University of Wisconsin and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. It is a community based model on how
policies and programs effect health factors that effects health outcomes. Rankings for Wichita County are typically
in the lower one-third of Texas and Texas is in the lower one-third of the United States. The percent weight was
changed this year; Social and Economic Factors are 40%of the comprised ratings, Health Behaviors 30%, Clinic
Care 20%, Physical Environment 10%.Wichita County Social and Economic Factors have done very well within
education, employment, income, family & social support and community safety. Health Behaviors not so well in
tobacco use, diet & exercise, alcohol & drug use and sexual activity includes STI's. Wichita County is not
necessarily the healthiest in overall Health Factors to look at it year over year it appears as one of the healthiest
counties in the State of Texas. Health Factors are controllable it feeds into Health Outcomes comprised of Length
of Life ranked 183 and Quality of Life ranked 160 out of the 242 ranked counties in Texas. Quality of Life has
improved significantly it conveys how people self-assess; poor or fair health, poor physical health days, now
number of poor mental health days and low birthweight babies remains high. The Behavioral Risk Factor
Surveillance System (BRFSS) calls people, ask the questions and reports the data. The data has a two-year lag
period that does not include any COVID information so in the corning years will see the change in one's perception
of their over health and mental health. Length of Life is of concern it is based on premature death, takes the
average age of men and women should live to and how far away from the average as a county. Wichita County
is losing life in both men and women typically associated with heart disease,stroke,cancer, primarily lung cancer,
colon cancer.Wichita County Health Factors scored well, Health Behaviors are ranked up 172 from 235 the prior
year. Smoking remains the same 20%, Obesity in adults not to include overweight went from 33-34% to 36%,
Physical Inactivity in a 7-day period is 30%, and Excessive Drinking is 16%. Clinical Care does well ranked 19
the prior year 21, partly because there are a lot of Healthcare providers for the Trauma Service Area. Archer,
Baylor and Clay county residents come into Wichita County for medical care since there are more physicians,
dentists and healthcare providers.The clinical care number is based on a ratio of residents to that, so it is a little
skewed. Just reported this year, 47% of the population had the flu vaccination. Social and Economic Factors
ranked 75 the prior year 96, these factors truly effect one's health. High school completion is currently 87%,
although it is high for the State of Texas it had always been over 90%, some College at 56% and Unemployment
3.2%. Children in poverty at 17% has gone down, some years it has been as high as 25%with the average about
20% and Children in single-parent households 25%. One of the last scoring methods Physical Environment
ranked 55 the prior year 49; Severe housing problems 16% and Long commute - Driving alone 8%. The next
phase is the County Health Assessment compiled of this and other data, once completed it will be reported out
to the Board.
Councilor Smith asked how the COVID situation effected the data just presented, is it there or does it remain to
be factored in.
Amy Fagan said one thing talked about into the pandemic was people not doing medical care not wanting to go
into an environment where they could contract COVID and URPG shut down all regular appointments. There is
a delayed care aspect, mental health aspect, physical health aspect, right now there is not any substantiating
data and it will not be known for a couple of years that overall impact. In speaking to the citizens, cases and
environment observation COVID has effected people whether COVID was contracted or not. Public Health is
going to have even more work related to the effects of COVID than during COVID.
Councilor Smith said with cases going up, what will be done about making that known to the public.
Amy Fagan said the numbers will be released today the plan is to reach out to the media and discuss large
gatherings. People are tired of COVID their thought is if they get it they are not going to die. COVID is still here
it is going to take people to be more careful and not go to the 100 person gatherings, but that may not happen.
Councilor Smith heard another phrase critical mass to state as it gets closer to half the population being fully
vaccinated that critical mass will have some effect to reduce the spread of COVID, what has been heard. The
intent is to get to herd immunity but with 35-40% of people with no intentions to get vaccinated it is a problem.
Amy Fagan replied she had never heard of the term critical mass in a Public Health publication or used at the
Health District, with enough people vaccinated way less are in the hospital and dying, there will be that
unvaccinated population. From data on the website in comparison to first vaccine and fully vaccinated the male
population are not getting vaccinated at the percentage as women but they are not completing the series. If
vaccinated you do not have to quarantine, that has gotten some people to get vaccinated not having to spend 10
days out. Only 47% of the population get the flu vaccine so probably will not see 70-75% of the population with
the COVID vaccine.

Agenda Item No.5.c
Julie Gibson asked if the people not getting vaccinated had any correlation with people not knowing the vaccine
is available and free.
Amy Fagan said there is the population that do not get routine health screenings even though they have health
insurance they do not engage in their own health. Also there are people that do not trust the vaccine, Public
Health, or the science, it is concerning. Locally have done everything to be as consistent and transparent with
the same faces in interviews because it is a trust issue. Another part is in certain populations especially Hispanic
and Black, if the family culture does not believe in one vaccine or two in the COVID vaccine they are not going
to get vaccinated that leads to group mindset. Public Health's job is to provide education and engage those
specific known communities under vaccinated since those communities get sicker than other communities. Two
supplemental grants have been received to hire additional staff to engage and educate, to go into unusual places
to find the people that either have not heard or do not believe. Public Health never gives up, going to continue
and hopefully get more people vaccinated.
Melissa Plowman said some individuals are vaccinated in their restaurants,they would like to put together a clinic
bring someone in to get more individuals vaccinated. In the case she gets 100% fully vaccinated in the kitchen,
do not wear masks and someone becomes a COVID breakthrough, what is the protocol for that situation.
Amy Fagan replied if everyone in the kitchen working together is vaccinated, no masks worn, if one of those
individuals becomes symptomatic or gets COVID, any of those individuals do not have to quarantine, have them
self-monitor look out for signs or symptoms.
Lou Kreidler responded to Melissa that the Health District would be happy to do the clinic just let them know, and
the same goes for the others that have people that want to get vaccinated. The only vaccine on hand is the two
dose Moderna so would need to come out twice.
Julie Gibson asked if the plan was to get vaccinated yearly.
Amy Fagan said still waiting to see. Best guess right now is yes there will be boosters but not sure of the intervals
since there is no set recommendation, still studying people to see how long immunity lasts.
Lou Kreidler said she believes will get a COVID vaccine in the same manner as a flu vaccine.
Paris Ward commented she knows vaccines in the African American population are low, that a lot of times in the
African American communities there is the distrust in the government, in vaccines, it is new and do not trust it,
so that might be something to take into consideration as well.
Lou Kreidler told Paris with that in mind, she is trusted in her community so may reach out on the education
campaigns and videos, as well as to some of the others. The next Board meeting may be in person depending
on how things are going and where the cases are at, but will let you know.
VI. NEXT MEETING DATE

in waves and allowed each entity to amend its 2019 Action Plan once per year. Last year
the City amended the PY 2019 Action Plan and received $733,264 in funding from the
first round of CARES Act funding. This subsequent year's amendment will allow the City
to access the second round of funding available to the City in the amount of$594,749.
While the funds are technically being granted in a previous program year, the funding is
being allocated and disbursed as part of the 2021 Annual Action Plan.
A public hearing is required due to the substantial amendment to the 2019 Annual Action

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: (1.6) Revitalize Depressed and Declining Neighborhoods,
(5.4) Strengthen Supportive Partnerships with the Not-For-Profit Community
COMMENTARY: Each year, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) requires the City to develop an Annual Action Plan to address local needs identified
in the current Five-Year Consolidated Plan, a document that serves as the basis for
establishing annual funding allocations. This Public Hearing provides an opportunity for
citizen comments on the proposed PY 2021 Annual Action Plan. The Action Plan
identifies federal resources available to the City during the upcoming fiscal year and
describes the activities expected to be undertaken.
CDBG funds available for projects totaled $1,544,016, including the 2021-2022 annual
funding allocation of $1,244,016 and $300,000 in reprogrammed funds from the prior
fiscal year. Funding for public service type activities is further limited to no more than 15%
of the new annual grant amount. Allocations for the CDBG-CV grant include $594,749 in
new allocation from the second round of Coronavirus funding authorized through the
CARES Act in 2020. The CDBG-CV grant will also include $160,264 in reprogrammed
funds from the first round of CARES Act Coronavirus funding.
To be considered an approved activity eligible for funding, HUD requires that projects
meet local needs and priorities identified in the Consolidated Plan. Activities must also
meet specific criteria for eligibility defined in federal regulations and meet one of the
following three national objectives: 1) benefit low and moderate income persons 2) aid in
the prevention or elimination of slum and blight, or 3) meet an urgent need to remove a
serious and immediate threat to health or safety. The City must also make certain that no
less than 70% of CDBG expenditures will be used for activities that benefit the low and
moderate-income population within our community.
On June 8, 2021, the City Council's Subcommittee for Outside Agency Funding

ITEM/SUBJECT: Ordinance amending Chapter 82 Parks and Recreation Article VIII
Off Leash Dog Facility in Lake Wichita Park in its entirety, and
providing for codification.
INITIATING DEPT: Health
STRATEGIC GOAL: Efficiently Deliver City Services
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: Practice Effective Governance
COMMENTARY: This past May the City began receiving complaints concerning the dog
park to include: (1) individuals bringing animals that were too young to the park, (2)
smoking in the park, and (3) animals other than dogs being brought into the park. Health
Department staff met with Parks and Recreation staff concerning the ordinance and
agreed it was time to revisit the ordinance for the dog park, which is currently ten years
old.
The changes we are recommending to the ordinance are all animal related. There are no
major revisions to the ordinance; the changes are more clarifying in nature.
Some of the changes including the following;
1. Animal Care Officers were added to the list of individuals who can enforce the
ordinance;
2. Language was added to clearly state a dog must be wearing a collar with a
rabies tag and City license attached;
3. Language was added to clarify the dog must be leashed prior to exiting the park
in the double gate area;
4. Language was added, which clearly states the person having care of the dog
is responsible for reading the rules prior to entering the dog park;
5. Shoes are required inside the dog park enclosure;
6. Changed the reporting requirement for a bite from 24 hours to immediately;
7. Language was added making it unlawful to bring a dog with a previous bite
history or know aggressive tendencies to the park;
8. The park is already tobacco free, however, clarifying language is added that
includes electronic devices to make the language congruent with the
comprehensive smoke free ordinance.
The ordinance changes were presented to both the Animal Shelter Advisory Committee
and the Board of Health; both groups voted unanimously to recommend these changes
for approval. Staff believe these changes will help clarify the ordinance and improve the
dog park experience for the citizens of Wichita Falls.

ITEM/SUBJECT: Ordinance appropriating $1,233,833 in American Rescue Plan Act
2021 Funds for Airport Operators under the Airport Rescue Grant
Program and authorizing the City Manager to execute all necessary
funding agreements related hereto and amending the Airport Fiscal
Year 2020-2021 budget in an amount of $80,000 for airfield striping
at Wichita Falls Regional Airport.
INITIATING DEPT: Aviation, Traffic, & Transportation
STRATEGIC GOAL: Accelerate Economic Growth
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: Look for Post-Pandemic Economic Opportunities
COMMENTARY: On June 30, 2021, the City of Wichita Falls was notified by the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) that it had been allocated $1,233,833 in American
Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding allocated under the Airport Rescue Grant Program. As
part of the formula, the $1,233,833 will be distributed by the FAA for Wichita Falls
Regional Airport with $1,199,207 distributed as operational use and $34,626 distributed
for loss of concession revenue. ARPA also allows the City of Wichita Falls to use these
funds to offset declines in airport revenue and for airport related debt service approved
by the FAA. In addition, there are no local match requirements for these funds.
The City of Wichita Falls will continue to receive its annual FAA Entitlement grant funding
in an amount of approximately $1 million. It is anticipated that the ARPA funding will be
used to offset operational expenses and revenue declines. In addition, it is further
anticipated that ARPA funding will be used to offset future General Fund contributions for
debt service on the Regional terminal bond. There is a four-year deadline by which the
ARPA funds must be spent. ARPA funds can also be used retroactive to January 20,
2020 for expenditures related to the Airport's COVID-19 response.
In addition, this ordinance will amend the Wichita Falls Regional Airport fiscal year 2020-
2021 budget by an amount of$80,000 to address airfield striping issues. It has been five
years since the maintenance was performed on airfield striping, and staff has worked with
the FAA to use FY 2022 Entitlement funds to reimburse the City for 90% of the cost to
perform this maintenance. The City's share of this work will cost $8,000, and the local
match is reimbursable under this ARPA grant.
Staff recommends the acceptance of this grant in the amount of $1,233,833 and the
amendment of the Airport's fiscal year 2020-2021 budget in an amount of $80,000 for
airfield striping maintenance.

ESTABLISHING CRITERIA FOR REDISTRICTING OF POLITICAL BOUNDARIES
The city council for the City of Wichita Falls, Texas, meeting in a duly scheduled
and posted meeting, does hereby adopt the following criteria for use in the redistricting
of all City political boundaries.
Any plan for the redistricting of the single-member districts from which
representative members of the executive body of the City of Wichita Falls are elected
should, to the maximum extent possible, conform to the following criteria:
1. The plan should ensure that all applicable provisions of the U.S. and Texas
Constitutions, the Voting Rights Act, and the Texas Election Code are honored.
2. The plan should be drawn in such a manner that the maximum deviation from
an ideal size, as determined by dividing the total population of the city by the
number of single member districts that compose the City Council of the City of
Wichita Falls be not more than plus or minus five (5%) percent for any individual
single member district, or a total top to bottom deviation (percentage of deviation
below and above the ideal size) between the most populated district and the
least populated district by not more than a maximum deviation of no more than
ten (10%) percent.
3. The plan should address minority representation, and if at all possible, in
conformity with constitutional standards, avoid retrogression in the percentage
of population and voting age demographics consistent with existing minority
representation.
4. The plan should, avoid fragmentation and preserve minority communities of
interest to the maximum extent possible. These communities of interest should
be recognized and retained intact where possible. Only when the overall minority
population of the county is sufficiently large to require more than one minority
district should minority populations be divided, and only then to the least degree
possible.
5. The plan should not, however, attempt to unreasonably join geographically
remote minority populations into a single precinct unless there are strong and
genuine connections between these communities as reflected by common
schools, churches, or cultural ties. For example, minority populations in two
separate neighborhoods, located miles apart, may not have sufficient links or
common political cohesion to justify joining these two minority population centers
into a single electoral group. Particularly when dealing with distinct minority
groups, such as Black and Hispanic populations, a general assumption that
separate minority populations will vote in a "block" may be unsupportable in fact.

6. The plan should seek compact and contiguous political boundaries. Physical
boundaries of cultural or economic significance, such as rivers, multi-lane
control access highways or turnpikes, which tend to divide populations in
fundamental ways, should be recognized and where possible, should only serve
as necessary to achieve recognized objectives. Communities of interest should
be retained intact where possible. To the maximum extent possible, clearly
recognized boundaries, such as streets and highways, should be used to
facilitate ease of voter identification of boundaries, as well as election
administration.
7. Where possible, well-recognized and long used election precinct boundaries
should be retained intact (within the limitations imposed by state and federal law)
or with as little alteration as possible.
8. Election precincts in the plan should be sized in conformity with state law. For
example, in counties that use traditional, hand counted paper ballots, no election
precinct may contain more than 2000 voters. In jurisdictions with voting systems
that allow for automated ballot counting, this number may be increased to as many
as 5000 registered voters.
9. The plan should afford incumbent office holders with the assurance that they will
continue to represent the majority of individuals who elected these incumbents,
and all incumbents' residential locations should be retained in their reformed
precincts to ensure continuity in leadership during the remaining term of
incumbents to the extent possible.
10. The plan should address fundamental and necessary governmental functions,
and to the extent possible, ensure that these functions are enhanced rather than
impaired. Election administration should not be unduly complex as a result of
election boundaries.
11. The plan should attempt to locate polling places in convenient, well-known
locations that are accessible to disabled voters to the maximum extent possible.
Public buildings should be utilized to the maximum extent possible as polling
places. Where necessary, buildings routinely open to the public, such as
churches, retail businesses, or private buildings dedicated to public activities,
can be used as polling places.
12. If the reduction of polling places can be accomplished, without impinging upon
voter convenience and minority voting rights, such reductions can be
considered.
13. Citizen input should be encouraged, but in order to minimize cost and to have
sufficient information to evaluate such proposals fairly, the City will only consider
proposed plans submitted to the City for evaluation by individual citizens or
PAGE 4 OF 5 PAGES

groups if the proposed plan is submitted to the City in a commonly used GIS
format, such as .SHP, .MAP, .KLM, .GPX, .MDB, along with maps and
demographic data sufficient to address voting rights concerns.
The foregoing criteria are deemed to be illustrative, but not exclusive, examples
of fundamentally important issues, which should be considered in any redistricting plan.
Therefore, the City Council of the City of Wichita Falls expresses its intention to
measure any plan submitted for consideration by this set of criteria, and to base any
eventual exercise of discretion upon the foregoing criteria.
The criteria approved this date were considered in an open session of the City
of Wichita Falls City Council meeting, following posting not less than 72 hours before
any action taken on the same. Upon motion by , second by
, the City Council of the City of Wichita Falls hereby adopts the
criteria set forth herein with a vote of to
