EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH
FOR
December 2021
NAME: Jamelle McCabe
DEPARTMENT: IT
HIRED: May 19, 2014
PRESENT POSITION: Network Manager
NARRATIVE: The Information Technology Division is pleased and honored to present
Jamelle McCabe as the Employee of the Month for December 2021.
Jamelle began his career with the City of Wichita Falls in the Information Technology
Division as an intern during the Fall semester of 2013. Upon his graduation, we were
fortunate enough to have an opening for a PC Analyst in May of 2014. In this position,
Jamelle did everything from install, repair, and upgrade all types of software and
hardware. It was during this time that he began to work on his skill set with a lot of self-
study and the attainment of several industry standard certifications. After 3 years in this
role, he was promoted to a Microsystems Analyst. In this role, he became our "go-to" for
most of the hardware and software used by the 1000+ users the City has. Upon excelling
in this role for a year, Jamelle promoted to a Network Analyst. This was a big transition
from the primary support for our end user community to supporting our network and
servers. After a year as a Network Analyst, an opportunity to promote to a Network
Coordinator presented itself. This is one of the more challenging positions in the IT
division. This position has a high level of technical responsibilities, as well as, supervising
3 technical staff members. The position of Network Coordinator is where Jamelle began
to apply his knowledge obtained from his pursuit of his technical certifications. He has
made huge improvements to the functionality, efficiency, and security of our network
environment. He has gone above and beyond installing and supporting systems that we
have in our environment, in addition to, the ones we have very little knowledge or
experience with as a Division; From annual PC deployments for the City's Staff to Mobile
Data Terminals for the Public Safety vehicles to Network equipment replacements and
just about everything you can imagine in between. Most of the emails you receive from
us about an outage after hours or over the weekend is typically to allow Jamelle time to
replace equipment or resolve an issue with an attempt to not disrupt operations during
business hours. Over the last 15 months or so, Jamelle has replaced over 100 network
devices, assisted with the roll out of 165 Mobile Data Terminal laptops in Public Safety
PAGE 2 OF 3 PAGES
AGENDA ITEM NO. 3.A
vehicles, over 200 PC's, 75 ticket writers, designed and implemented a data backup
system all while still performing his day-to-day City staff support duties.
Additionally, Jamelle's attention to detail, his ability to communicate, and his willingness
to listen and work well with others, has earned him a place of respect amongst his peers
and our user community. When assigned a task, his supervisors know with confidence
he will do whatever it takes to complete it in an accurate and timely manner.
Jamelle has always been a tremendous value to our team by sharing his valuable
knowledge and wisdom with his peers. Jamelle has always provided first class support
to all of our users regardless of job title or their position in the organization.
FAMILY: Jamelle is single with no children.
HOBBIES: In his spare time he enjoys reading, building his technical skillset, and many
forms of electronic media, such as, movies and music.
CLOSING: Jamelle is a dedicated and loyal City employee who takes pride in his work,
as well as, the work of the IT division. He values working with all of the members of the
IT staff. It is with great appreciation that the Information Technology Division honors him
as employee of the month.

and declaring an emergency and immediate effective date.
Moved by Councilor Brewer to approve Ordinance 62-2021.
Motion seconded by Councilor Browning.
Terry Floyd, Director of Development Services, discussed the timeline for the dangerous
structure declaration, the lack of progress on the property, ownership changes, and fire
damage the property sustained. The Landmark Commission design review and their first
deadline for completion of the project have both expired. Staff recommends approval of
the Ordinance without allowing any additional time for repairs. This has been an ongoing
issue for over two years with a significant number of complaints from citizens in the
neighborhood.
Councilor Smith discussed complaints he has received on this property and asked to hear
from the property owner.
Mr. Danial Mbalule, 2408 Fain Street, addressed the Council as the current owner of the
property. He presented additional photos of the home and acknowledged that it has taken
quite some time to make progress on the home. He discussed issues he experienced
with permitting and the difficulty he has had finding laborers, which delayed his progress.
He stated that he now has the labor and help needed to move forward with the project.
Page 4 of 13
Agenda Item No.4.
Mayor Santellana asked for the proposed timeline. Mr. Mbalule stated that he plans to
have it water tight by spring, and then move forward.
Councilor Smith asked if Mr. Mbalule owned the house, and if he had insurance on the
home. Mr. Mbalule stated he owns the home but he purchased it after the fire. Mr.
Mbalule stated that he is the contractor and has sub-contractors, but has had issues
finding laborers.
Mr. Leiker asked what the project budget is and Mr. Mbalule stated that his budget is
$40,000 - $100,000. It was noted that Mr. Mbalule agreed on the three month deadline
given to him two years ago. Mr. Mbalule discussed communication issues he has
experienced.
Mayor Santellana discussed the length of time and lack of progress on the project.
Council wants to see derelict structures repaired, but neighbors should not be expected
to live close to this structure for an extended length of time. Mr. Mbalule stated he has
the money and labor to complete the project beginning with the foundation, framing,
roofing, and then windows.
Councilor Nelson stated that by looking at the pictures he feels Mr. Mbalule may be
working in the wrong direction. He suggested that Mr. Mbalule work with a contractor to
receive guidance. Mr. Nelson discussed issues he saw with the work that has been
completed so far not being done correctly.
Councilor Jackson asked how many permits he has had. Mr. Mbalule stated that he has
had three permits over the past two years, and discussed how COVID has affected his
ability to find sub-contractors.
Wayne Smith, Chief Building Official, addressed the Council and stated there has been
one permit with multiple extensions. He addressed Mr. Mbalule's communication
concerns, and stated that the structure damage was not only from the fire, but was also
due to weather exposure over the past two years. There are substantial foundation
issues, the framing installed has not been installed correctly and it has been exposed to
the elements. Mr. Smith stated that he asked for the loose dangerous brick to be
removed, but not that all of the brick be removed. The goal was to remove the hazardous
brick and secure the home.
Mayor Santellana asked Mr. Smith to give his opinion on restoring the property. Mr. Smith
stated there is not one part of the house that will not require work, including all new
plumbing, electrical, and mechanical work. There was brief discussion regarding what
work Mr. Mbalule feels needs to be done versus what will have to be completed. It was
noted that the budget Mr. Mbalule stated he has available is not enough to cover the work
Page 5 of 13
Agenda Item No.4.
required. Mr. Mbalule stated that he is not concerned about the cost. Mayor Santellana
discussed the concerns with the timeliness of the project completion.
Cody Melton, Fire Marshall, discussed his experience with the structure, stated the
second floor is a hazard, and that this structure is dangerous and someone could be
injured if they were to go into the home. Mr. Melton discussed the 30 day extension and
that no work was completed in that timeframe. Mr. Melton stated this property is a
dangerous structure.
Councilor Smith called for a vote.

1 Call to Order
Leo Lane called the meeting to order at 2 35 p m
2 Strategic discussion
Henry Florsheim discussed the update to the community wide economic development
strategy to be conducted by Matt DeVeau of Broad Ripple Strategies He asked the Board to let
him know of their choices for co chairs of the steering committee The committee needs to be
established by mid October and hold its first meeting by early December An online survey will
again be available to the entire community
Mr DeVeau said new individuals should be asked to serve on the committee Ms Cowling
agreed but opined some who had previously served should also be appointed in order to maintain
continuity Mr Florsheim said he anticipated the committee would have the same diverse
composition as the first one
This process should be completed by next May or June with implementation to follow
The cost for this project is$98 000 plus expenses for a total of no more than $106 500 Chamber
and City staff will review invoices for accuracy before payment is made
1
Page 1 of 4
Agenda Item No.6.a
Mr Lane asked if non profit corporations would be involved Mr Florsheim said there
will be a series of one on one interviews and advisory group interviews In addition Dr Shelly
Sweatt from the Priddy Foundation served on the first committee so he anticipates that either she
or another non profit official will serve
3 Discussion and possible action related to Howmet Wastewater Project
Mr Lane directed the Board to the brief synopsis and recommendation from the Chamber
Ms Cowling said it is her understanding that Howmet currently has less than 529 full time
employees and this incentive agreement comes with an expectation of growth in employment
She noted she liked the partnership of this arrangement
4 Discussion and possible action related to Delta T Thermal Solutions Project
This item was removed from discussion at today s meeting
5 Approval of Fiscal Year 2022 Budget
Paul Menzies furnished an updated copy of the proposed budget to the Board members
Staff had to manually calculate some of the figures which reflect that next year the Board has
less expenditures and should earn more sales tax revenue The proposed FY 2021 22 budget
anticipates an unreserved fund balance of$7 6 million approximately $2 5 million more than the
current year This calculation does not include revenue from the possible sale of the Atco building
and sales tax revenues are budgeted flat
Budget Highlights
USA 800—This company s incentive agreement expires soon
DuPlooy Trucking— It is not clear that this company has moved within the city limits a
requirement under their incentive agreement The agreement expires next year Mr Lane opined
that the difficulties with this project are a testament to the Board s current processes any loans
provided are secured and the company has to meet certain performance obligations before any
money is expended
SAFB Front Gate Project—This project is due to fiscally close very soon The Board asked
for a reconciliation Mr Menzies said Karen Montgomeiy Gagne would provide such a report
Sales tax receipts are budgeted next year at $4 2 million They are currently running at
$4 7 million a difference of$500 000 If this continues that would in effect make the Board s
bond payment
Mr Menzies then discussed the administrative services cost increase to $80 000 There are
three main prongs of assistance provided by the City Legal services Fiscal agent Coordination
between Board and Council/Payment of Invoices Staff was asked to note the average number of
hours per month spent on EDC matters providing the justification behind this increase
Ms Cowling asked about the audit performed on EDC files Mr Menzies said it is a
governmental audit performed on the City s $190 million budget which includes 4A and 4B
funds It is difficult to piece out 4A s share The cost estimate was derived through a combination
of what could be its share in the government audit and what it would cost for the Board to have a
separate audit conducted The City s annual audit is around $100 000 Mr Florsheim said the
Chamber s annual audit for an organization of$1 6 million costs around $10 000
2
Page 2 of 4
Agenda Item No.6.a
Mr Lane said the 4A funds represent about 2% of the City budget so its share would be
about$1 000 He said justification was needed for this increase This line item increased $10 000
last year and $20 000 this year
He appreciates this discussion He hopes to have a contract for services with the City in
the future as it has with other entities He does question discrepancies in bills the 4A Board pays
such as maintenance for the Atco building versus the City s responsibilities such as maintenance
of the Business Park Mr Leiker noted that bids have been taken twice on the maintenance of the
Business Park and the City s costs have been half of what was bid The City probably said at the
time that it did not want to be responsible for mowing more acreage such as at the Atco building
He added that Mr Hegglund is cutting himself short at $114 per hour That figure would
be between$300 $400 if the Board went outside for legal services He added that City staff spends
over a month with the auditors Ms Cowling said if the Board is helping to pay for the audit it is
not seeing the results If it had an independent audit it would get the results She would assume
that since the 4A is such a small part of the City s audit there is nothing specific to the EDC in
the report Mr Leiker said they could bring the auditor in for an update or look at a separate audit
Ms Cowling said a separate audit would be a lot of cost without a lot of benefit
Mr Leiker noted the City is not trying to pad its budget or gouge the EDC He asserted
that to hire all of these services the Board would pay three times as much as this request In
addition when staff is working on EDC matters that means they are not working on City issues
Mayor Santellana said taxpayer dollars pay staff time Some of the EDC deals are easy
some are difficult and quite lengthy He believes it is a little on the light side of compensation but
it helps to be able to justify the use of City staff for EDC efforts
Ms Cowling said she would like to know if the audit is a clean audit and to be aware of
any processes/improvements that might be recommended Mr Leiker said they can ask the auditor
to look at the sales tax board and come back with any recommendations
Mr Menzies said if this budget is approved it will be on the City Council agenda well in
advance of October 1

after completion of the filter project, Howmet has at least 529 lull-time employees working at the

conversation.

The absence of Julie Gibson was noted as unexcused.
III. COVID-19 UPDATE
Amy Fagan advised the majority of the information presented is from analysis through last Friday, September 3,
2021. The COVID-19 report is updated and published weekly that has total confirmed cases, recoveries, deaths,
active cases of those hospitalized or home recovering, and fully vaccinated. Vaccine Breakthrough case(VBT)
analysis published every two weeks are those fully vaccinated,the two dose series completed or one dose series
completed plus two weeks (14 days) then if afterwards contracts COVID it is a VBT Re-infections published
every Friday, means those that contracted COVID more than once. Initially as seen in Re-infections the same as
Vaccine Breakthroughs much milder symptoms or no symptoms with just the Alpha or undetermined Subtype
before Delta variant, people were asymptomatic but that has changed. An interesting change over time with
Delta as example 94% of VBT cases are symptomatic. The Janssen (J&J)first data published was the vaccine
would not be as effective but the idea was to stay out of the hospital to keep from dying.Vaccines are not 100%
manufacturers have been clear about that, but had more protection than anticipated when came out. Over 95%
of the cases attribute to the Delta variant, in deaths of fully vaccinated one identified as Alpha variant and two
Delta variant.
Cases are lower at 762 of those 93%unvaccinated individuals. The 4-Week Analysis provides a comparison of
two 4-week periods from July 10-August 6, 2021 and August 7-September 30, 2021. in the five categories all had
significant increases. Average number of residents with COVID-19 Hospitalized 158%increase, Total number of
New Cases 225%, Total number of New Tests 147%, Average Positivity Rate (of those tested. percent that is
positive)27%and Deaths 118%. This year had a dramatic rise of new cases received each week starting less
than 50 cases per week to over 500 per week. The rise in 2020 was from June 11 to October 16, 2020 at 18
weeks and this year from June 4 to August 20,2021 at 11 weeks. The 20-29 and 30-39 age categories were the
highest percentage of new cases in a 2-week period, ending August 13 and August 20, 2021. In a 2-week period
ending August 27 and September 3, 2021 the highest percentage of new cases were in the 11-19 age category.
Old school contact tracing is still done, collect information from the individual,ask them if they had been exposed
Page 1 of 3
Agenda Item No.6.c
to anyone known of and monitor outbreaks on those type of things. On every Case manager investigation,Amy
goes through makes a determination then categorizes the case.
Cases by Type August 2021:Community Spread 57%,Contact 20%, Close/Household Contact 22%,Travel 1%.
Cases by Type to Date: Community Spread 46%,Contact 33%, Close/Household Contact 20%,Travel 1%.
Increase in Community Spread where no index case can be identified is concerning, there are less public health
interventions that can be utilized to curtail further spread when the source is not identifiable. One category of
spread that can be further analyzed, in an effort to reduce spread is the Contact category where there is an index
case identified and considered the most likely source of infection. The 20% determined to be Contact for the
month of August 2021 the most listed sub-categories are family,school/student,friends,employee/outbreak,and
co-worker.
Current United Regional COVID Admissions by Age on September 2, 2021 show the highest population are in
their 60s followed by 70s,50s and 40s,with 88%of COVID patients unvaccinated. Several months after COVID-
19 vaccine became available in the community,the age of individuals who died while an active case shifted from
the 80+demographic to lower ages.The first 320 deaths(April 15, 2020 to March 3, 2021)compared to the last
47 deaths (March 4 to September 3,2021), ail individuals under the age of 60 was unvaccinated, overall 15%of
individuals that passed was vaccinated primarily in their 80's and 70's.Vaccine Breakthrough cases with odds of
survival and odds of not contracting COVID go up substantially. COVID patients hospitalized at United Regional
Health Care System (URHC)as of September 2, 2021 was 96; 12 vaccinated and 84 unvaccinated, of those 26
in critical care with 1 vaccinated and 25 unvaccinated. Since July 1, 2021, URHC had 371 COVID admissions
with 323 unvaccinated (87%). The forecast based on the latest trends (June 4 to September 3, 2021) are
estimated at 1,000 new cases per week starting the week of September 17, 2021, today it is under projection.
The highest weekly cases reported in Wichita County since the start of the pandemic was 1,185 for the week
ending December 31, 2020 and 1,187 for the week ending January 7,2021. One of the most concerning trends
is the increase in the number of COVID positive Wichita County residents hospitalized, if the trend continues the
projection for hospitalizations at the end of October 2021 is 120 patients.The number of available Adult ICU beds
has gone up by one from three that is for the entire Trauma Service Area(ISA)about twice of Wichita County at
138,000. The TSA system is very intricate, on how transfers happen hospital to hospital and standard of care
each hospital can provide it is the same throughout the State of Texas.There are zero pediatric ICU beds in the
entire TSA with none at URHC, used to transfers made to Cooks.About two weeks ago,Cooks said due to limited
staffing the facility may or may not be able to accept transfers from other hospitals, having significant limitations
on them and their systems. Not only a concern for the community especially in Central Texas but the State of
Texas, there is not enough beds, not enough ICU beds, not enough resources. The Governor can step in with
supplemental resources in terms of staffing, traveling nurses, but not with the limited capacity for transfer and
availability for types of care unavailable, it is not only a concern for the community but the State of Texas.
Vaccine rate/percentage in the population as of today: 12+with one dose 50.2%, 12+ fully vaccinated 43.6%,
and 65+fully vaccinated 77.52%. Education continues, post on social media, cut off rumors, provide community
information,and statistics, to keep people informed.
Keith Williamson asked what role natural immunity will have in the fall, in helping not to hit those high numbers.
Amy Fagan replied she hoped it would go into a seasonal piece or enough people of the 19,000 that contracted
COVID over the last year-in-a half that less people would contract COVID again,to gain that immunity. Now said
there may be some indication that people who had the flu vaccine is their bodies naturally are better at fighting
off the virus. The virus goes after those communities with low vaccination rates and it bums through the
population.
IV. GRANT FUNDING
Amy Fagan said any good news about COVID would be that people somewhat know what Public Health does
and the federal appropriation directed a lot of money focused to Public Health. The Health District has gotten
three supplemental Immunization grants, two supplemental Epidemiology grants.a supplemental Preparedness
grant,and a Workforce grant that will be the focus today since it is slightly different and beyond COVID.The grant
is under the appropriations act Public Health Crisis Response federal funding for the next 21 months just over
$1.9 million dollars.The funds are to help with COVID response but if cases become lower, it does not warrant
the situation to do other public health work. Fifteen full time positions were hired, the majority Contact Tracers
changed to Health Educators/Contact Tracers since half of what the positions do is provide health education to
people, another position to hire is an epidemiologist one is on staff now, the dream is to do population health.
All so to get a Health Equity grant, the population is kind of studied with publication of the Public Health
Assessment but would do a better job of accessing the community doing outreach, to hire are an Outreach
Education Specialist. Other positions are a Health Promotion Program Manager and Health Educator that will
come on help with the COVID case management but at some point the idea is to reduce the disease burden so
2
Page 2 of 3
Agenda Item No.6.c
people can live with COVID and recover better.Again will be able to do Diabetes Prevention Education since the
Ioss of previous funds, probably Immunizations just not in reference to COVID vaccines, spending not near the
amount with demand down. Arrangements made with one of the local Hispanic leaders is to go out Sunday to a
church to administer vaccinations, it is wonderful new to have that church support it lends a lot of credibility to it,
it Is a great initiative but the demand for vaccines is still low.
Keith Williamson replied that is good news,exceptional to be able to go out to the people,to meet on their terms
to give them vaccine and the most effective.
Councilor Smith said it is not good news just here but nationwide of the unvaccinated. His thought is it should
have some effect on the hardcore group that is unvaccinated, are they uniformed, not know what is going on or
just does not care.
Amy Fagan said everything has been so politicized that people tend to decide inside their political affiliation now,
many people on both sides have made choices different from that group,but it seems to be the extreme ideology
within those groups and leading misinformation. The Health District has been out in the front,very transparent,
try to answer all the questions. The primary concerns heard from when the vaccine came out are, it went to fast,
what is in it, will it make you sick. That question is asked all the time of why people make the choice not to
vaccinate because genuinely want to know. Her thought on what happened is back when the vaccine was being
produced it also coincided with a big change in politics and the president. Everyone had questions,is the vaccine
safe, it happened so fast never seen anything like this,will it make you sick, if pregnant or want to get pregnant
can you or should you get the vaccine, those basic questions are legitimate. From the basic questions people
found answers from extreme sources with extreme answers shared repeatedly, people believe it. It will have to
be one person at a time or groups then go back out to those groups to have those discussions.The Epidemiologist
went out to the Fire Department, to talk with the first responders out in people's houses that do life saving
measures for people with COVID, she went out three days because of the three shifts morning and night. They
asked those basic questions in different variations of the extreme, she answered, and the feedback from those
unvaccinated was still not going to get it. Several did come in to get the vaccine, also seen when an individual
known gets very sick with COVID or dies. The Health District does talk and provide information to make an
independent decision when ready and provide the vaccine when ready.
Lou Kreidler said the positive grant gives the ability to have individuals go out to focus on targeted communities
that will help Public Health.The work with the Hispanic community at Our Lady Guadalupe this weekend was the
start, to get into those communities to provide information with support of the community leaders to believe, to
trust in what Public Health does, and to work for their respect to create an authentic relationship.
Keith Williamson thinks a lot of discussion will be heard about requiring the vaccine over various groups going
forward, it is a very hard discussion. For those who have not had personal experience of the illness and more
severe outcomes that they can remain simply argumentative about it and not accept a rational position it is just
something to argue over. He thinks some strong leadership from some place is going to be needed.

Ill. Action Item: Design Review—2914 10th Street(West Floral Heights Historic District)
• Remove and Replace Wood Siding with James Hardie Siding (Residential)
Mr. Terry Floyd presented the case and stated the owner, Mr.Antonio Ortiz and contractors
Mr. Jorge & Edgar Ramirez were present and petitioning to remove and replace the siding
on the home, wrapping it first with a Tyvek-type material prior to the installation of James
Hardie Board siding. Mr. Floyd advised the request to remove and replace the siding would
be highly visible from the right-of-way,triggering a design review case being brought before
the Commission. Mr. Floyd stated the subject property located at 2914 10th Street was
constructed in 1928 in a Craftsman style and is a contributing structure on the West Floral
Heights Historic District.
Page 1 of 4
Agenda Item No.6.e
Landmark Commission 2 October 26,2021
Mr. Floyd stated staff, while reviewing the case considered four general factors applicable
for this case;
1. Availability of Historic Materials
2. Availability of Skilled Craftsman
3. Inherent Flaws in the original materials
4. Code-Required Changes
The local design guidelines state the retention and preservation of the historic character of
a property must be considered.The removal of distinctive materials or alteration of features,
spaces, and spatial relationships that characterize the property should be avoided if
possible. Distinctive materials, features, finishes and construction that characterize a
property must be persevered and deteriorated historic features will be repaired rather than
replaced. If the severity of deterioration requires replacement, the replacement must match
the old in design, color, texture and where possible, materials.
Mr. Floyd advised the applicant was proposing to replace the wood siding with a James
Hardie 6 inch plank that would emulate what is currently on the home. New insulation and
wrap would be put on prior in to installation. Examples were provided to the Commission
by the contractor to evaluate.
Mr. Floyd turned the floor over the owner and contractors for any questions the Commission
might have. The contractor, Mr. Ramirez, stated over 80% of the current siding was
damaged beyond repair, allowing in the elements, causing the utilities to substantially
increase. Mr. Ramirez stated the Hardie board he was requesting to use as a replacement
had the same look and would mimic what was currently on the structure.
Ms. Marcela Medellin asked if the current siding was shiplapped or tongue and grove. Mr.
Ramirez advised it was tongue and grove and the dimensions were 6-7 inches with 2-3
inch overlap. Ms. Medellin asked if trim would be changed out. Mr. Ramirez stated it would
be replaced with a wood trim. Ms. Nadine McKown asked when replacing the siding, what
direction would it lay. Mr. Ramirez stated horizontal as shown today. Chairwoman Derr
stated beneath the eaves appeared to be a wider board, and asked if it was replaced at
some point in the past. Mr. Ramirez was not sure, stated it could be asbestos and they
would cover with siding, using a 12 inch board to keep the same look, same material,
different size. Ms. Janel Ponder-Smith stated the request was only for the replacement for
the 6 inch lower siding, nothing about the 12 inch for the upper siding was in the proposal.
Mr. Ramirez stated the owner wanted to replace all the siding on the home, not just the
lower portion that was 6 inch. Mr. Joel Hartmangruber, stated he did not see any
photographic evidence to show the siding to be damaged beyond repair. Ms. Ponder-Smith
stated there was not enough photos of current structure and not enough information to act
on this proposal. She stated the existing siding looks to be much smaller than the proposed
Hardie board and saw no evidence of the damage that would require replacement. Mr.
Hartmangruber, advised this siding is very prominent of this era and replacement material
proposed was not the same. Mr. Hartmangruber asked if any other profile of Hardie board
had been considered. Mr. Ramirez stated he only looked at what could be found locally
stating, that the current siding is no longer produced and Hardie Board had longer life. Mr.
Ramirez stated he was changing the look, but replacing with a better product, and that he
would be putting metal sheet under the replacement siding to prevent damage. Mr.
Page 2 of 4
Agenda Item No.6.e
Landmark Commission 3 October 26,2021
Hartmangruber stated that the goal was to maintain and preserve the historic look and this
would significantly change the character of the structure.
Chairwoman Derr agreed that additional information was needed to make a decision as
well as adding to the petition the replacement of the siding under the gables. Ms. Ponder-
Smith made a motion to postpone this case to next meeting, requesting other sample
materials be brought in and considered and more detailed, up-close photos to justify
replacement and address gable peaks. Ms. Ponder-Smith stated she would like to see more
siding options that matched more closely with examples to see what would be replaced on
the gables. Ms. McKown seconded the motion. Motion to delay the case until next meeting
passed unanimously.

December 7, 2021
ITEM/SUBJECT: Ordinance amending Section 2 of Ordinance No. 49-2021, the fee
schedule applied to Development Services Department operations
to allow for fees associated with credit card transactions and
Downtown Vacant Structure Registry annual inspection and
registration fees; providing for severability; providing that such
ordinance shall not be codified; and providing an effective date.
INITIATING DEPT: Development Services
STRATEGIC GOAL: Efficiently Deliver City Services
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: Practice effective governance
COMMENTARY:
Timeline:
• February 2, 2021 - City Council approves ordinances related to (1) downtown
property maintenance, and (2) downtown vacant building registration, both that
became effective October 1, 2021.
• October 1, 2021 — Downtown property maintenance and vacant building
registration ordinances effective.
• December 7, 2021 - City Council consideration of amendments to the City's Fee
Schedule to add new fees related to (1) the newly effective downtown ordinances,
and (2) credit card transaction fees for all applicable development services
transactions.
The proposed Ordinance amends Section 2 of Ordinance No. 49-2021 to allow for the
establishment of two (2)fees critical to the recently established Vacant Structure Registry
Ordinance (VSRO), and one (1) fee for service upgrades to allow for online and credit
card transactions for building permit and zoning/platting fee payment. The proposed
ordinance amendment establishes new fees in the current fee ordinance, but does not
increase any development-related fees currently established in the ordinance.
Background:
Included in the proposed development fee ordinance amendment presented to City
Council on both September 21 and November 2, 2021 were the inclusion of three (3)
proposed new fees for:
1. Registration of structures for the City's newly established Vacant Structure Registry
Ordinance (VSRO) - $150
2. Annual inspection fee for structures registering as part of the VSRO registration - $100
3. A 3% transaction fee (of total fee) for online/credit card payments
PAGE 1 OF 5 PAGES
AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.
With the Council decision to postpone the consideration of the proposed development fee
ordinance until December 21, 2021, the aforementioned proposed fees could not be
established.
Vacant Structure Registry Ordinance Fees
Fees for the VSRO registration and annual inspection are proposed at $150 — registration
and $100 — annual inspection. This proposed fee was discussed throughout the
development of the ordinances with the citizen committee in 2019 and 2020. This
ordinance amendment establishes these fees so they can be collected as vacant
buildings downtown are beginning to register.
Credit Card/Online Transaction Fee
This fee allows the Building Inspections and Planning Division to collect the required 3%
transaction fee on all online/credit card payments for permits and applications that is
charged by the online/credit card transaction provider (PACE) for the City's permitting
system (MyGov). This 3% fee is established and charged by the online/credit card
payment provider and collected at the time of the online purchase or credit card
transaction. This transaction fee is a similar if not the same to other transaction fees that
are codified in the fee ordinance for other City departments/divisions that accept credit
card/online payments (Utility Billing, Collections & Services).
Without the establishment of this fee, revenue collected for each online/credit card
transaction would be reduced by 3%, resulting in lost revenue.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the ordinance which, if approved, would become effective
on January 7, 2022.

process.
INITIATING DEPT: City Clerk/City Attorney
STRATEGIC GOAL: Efficiently Deliver City Services
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: Practice Effective Governance
COMMENTARY: The City of Wichita Falls contracted with Allison, Bass & Magee, LLP
to assist with the redistricting process. Per the initial assessment, the Census results
show a 13.23% total maximum deviation. Federal law requires redistricting if the total
maximum deviation is above 10%. The total maximum deviation is determined by dividing
the total population by the number of single member districts to provide an ideal district
population.
Bob Bass will join the meeting via Zoom to provide an overview of the initial assessment,
discuss the redistricting process, and answer any questions that you may have. Approval
of this Resolution will initiate the redistricting process and appoint an Advisory Committee.

Resolution initiating the process of Redistricting City Council
Districts, establishing Criteria for Redistricting, and appointing an
Advisory Committee to provide advice and input to the Redistricting
process
WHEREAS, the Wichita Falls City Council has previously retained the firm of
Allison, Bass & Magee, LLP, of Austin, Texas, to conduct an Initial Assessment of existing
political boundaries of the City of Wichita Falls, following the issuance of census data by
the United States Census Bureau;
WHEREAS, the Initial Assessment was based upon PL94-171 data, as required
by federal law, and is further based upon information provided to Allison, Bass &
Associates, LLP by the Texas Legislative Council, other official sources of information,
and by the City of Wichita Falls, Texas;
WHEREAS, based upon this information, the City of Wichita Falls has a total
maximum deviation of 13.23%;
WHEREAS, the "total maximum deviation" is determined by dividing the total
population of the City of Wichita Falls by five, the number of city districts to determine an
ideal district size. The actual population of each district was then determined, based upon
the official population data contained within the census count, as defined by Public Law
94-171;
WHEREAS, the actual population of each district was compared to the ideal district
size and a range of deviation by percentage was determined;
WHEREAS, a total maximum deviation in excess of 10% is presumptively
unconstitutional under established federal law; therefore, the City of Wichita Falls, Texas,
has a constitutional duty to redistrict its political boundaries to achieve "One-Person-One-
Vote" numerical balance between the Council districts at a legally acceptable margin of
deviation, and to make such changes as are necessary to comply with the Voting Rights
Act and applicable state and federal law; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds the public interest will be served by redrawing
the existing political boundaries of the City of Wichita Falls in such a manner as to comply
with applicable state and federal law.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS, THAT:
1. The City will undertake such necessary and appropriate action to accomplish
redistricting of existing city districts.
PAGE 2 OF 5 PAGES
AGENDA ITEM NO. 8.A
2. The City Council will convene in open meetings, duly posted in accordance with
the Texas Open Meetings Act, to take up and consider one or more alternative plans for
the legal redistricting of the City of Wichita Falls.
3. After due consideration of one or more alternative plans, the City of Wichita Falls
will adopt a plan deemed to satisfy legal requirements, and which best suits the legitimate
governmental needs of the City of Wichita Falls.
4. The plan should, to the maximum extent possible, conform to the following
criteria:
a. 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.
b. 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.
c. 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.
d. 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.
e. 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.
PAGE 3 OF 5 PAGES
AGENDA ITEM NO. 8.A
f. 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.
g. 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.
h. 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.
i. 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.
j. 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.
k. 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.
I. If the reduction of polling places can be accomplished, without impinging
upon voter convenience and minority voting rights, such reductions can be
considered.
m. 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
PAGE 4 OF 5 PAGES
AGENDA ITEM NO. 8.A
citizens or 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.
5. The following people are appointed to the Advisory Committee for Redistricting:
Stephen Santellana, Mayor, Bobby Whiteley, Councilor At-Large, Paul Menzies,
Assistant City Manager, and Marie Balthrop, City Clerk.

STRATEGIC GOAL: Efficiently Deliver City Services
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: Practice Efficient Governance
COMMENTARY: The fire department would like to make application through FEMA for
the FY 2021 Assistance to Firefighters Grant. The Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG)
is funded through federal legislation on an annual or semi-annual basis. The grant
application process is a competitive process, that requires, if the grant is awarded, a 10%
match. The anticipated performance period for the grant is May 2022 through April 2024,
therefore we would anticipate developing a plan for meeting the 10% match as a part of
our FY 2023 budget. The individual grant applications would seek to secure funding for
up to 85 portable radios, chargers and lapel microphones.
Staff recommends approval of the resolution.

ITEM/SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute an Interlocal Agreement
with Wichita County for the improvement of a portion of Hammon
Road that lies exclusively within Wichita County to benefit the Wichita
Falls Economic Development Corporation Business Park.
INITIATING DEPT: Public Works
STRATEGIC GOAL: Provide Quality Infrastructure
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: Complete Signature Public Improvements
COMMENTARY: On November 2, 2021 the City Council approved an Interlocal
Agreement with Wichita County for reimbursement of the Phase I Business Park
Improvements. Through this agreement, the County agreed to utilize approximately
$1.045 million of their American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA)funds, to reimburse the WFEDC
(4A), for the water and sewer improvements within the Business Park.
On November 8, 2021, the Wichita County Commissioner's Court approved a second
Interlocal Agreement between the City of Wichita Falls and Wichita County for the
improvement of a portion of Hammon Road that lies within the County. As part of the
overall Business Park Improvements, a section of Hammon Road, will be widened and
replaced with a concrete pavement. However, there is a portion of Hammon Road that
extends beyond the City limits into Wichita County that also needs to be improved. In
consideration of the contribution from the County for the water and sewer improvements,
by execution of this agreement, the City agrees to improve a portion of Hammon Rd which
lies within the County. It also stipulates the City will maintain this section of Hammon Rd
for a period of 20 years.
The ultimate goal is to create an improved loop of roadway from Fisher Road to
Midwestern Parkway to Hammon Road north to US 287. The improvements to this section
of Hammon Road consists of approximately 800 linear feet of 48'wide reinforced concrete
pavement with monolithic curb.
These road improvements will serve to accommodate the current and anticipated truck
traffic from the current and future development within the Business Park.
The agreement was prepared by the City's Legal Department. Staff recommends
execution of the agreement.

is purchased to complete the patrol unit. These accessories are installed in patrol units
by Fleet Maintenance to assist them in effectively policing the community. Twelve (12)
sets of accessories include prisoner cages, push bumpers, lights and sirens to fit the 2022

will be similarly equipped. The accessories will be purchased from Big Country Supply in
the amount of$63,674.44.

ITEM/SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing the purchase of three (3) 35-foot low floor
diesel buses off the State of Washington Contract to Gillig LLC in the
amount of$1,374,885.
INITIATING DEPT: Aviation, Traffic & Transportation
STRATEGIC GOAL: Efficiently Deliver City Services
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: Practice Effective Governance
COMMENTARY: In the FY 2022 Public Transportation budgets, the purchase of one
replacement bus was identified. The average service life of a City of Wichita Falls bus,
as approved by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), is 12-years or 500,000 miles.
Because of the lead time to construct these three buses, anticipated delivery is in early
2023. The specifications for these buses are the same as currently used in the fleet. In
addition, staff has specified an air purification HVAC system that has been effective in
eliminating COVID and other germs from within the bus interior during passenger
operations.
These three buses will be used to replace three 2010 Gillig buses. Currently, these three
buses have 942,300, 575,091, and 574,812 service miles. As part of the grant process,
the City of Wichita Falls also requested Transportation Development Credits from the
Texas Department of Transportation. As a result, the three buses are eligible to be fully
paid for using Section 5307 funds. Based on the award of these Transportation
Development Credits, there will be no local match requirements by the City of Wichita
Falls. In other words, the FTA will pay 100% of the $1,374,885 required for the purchase
of these buses.
The FTA allows the use of "piggybacking" in its Best Practices Procurement Manual,
Section 6.3.3. "Piggybacking" is defined as the post award use of contractual
document/process that allows someone who has not contemplated in the original
procurement to purchase the same equipment through that original document/process.
Additional quantities cannot be added in the piggybacking process, but piggybacking
allows for the reassignment of unused quantities remaining under the contracted amount.
In the case of the State of Washington (SOW), their solicitation and contract included an
assignability clause that allows for the assignment of all or part of the specified deliverable
items. SOW quantities to be ordered were included in their original bid with Gillig
Corporation and were evaluated as part of the contract award decision. The City of
Wichita Falls is able to "piggyback" off of the SOW agreement with Gillig because SOW
can reassign remaining quantities originally solicited by SOW. City staff has vetted this
arrangement with the FTA, City Purchasing, and City Legal. The FTA has no issue with
PAGE 1 OF 4 PAGES
AGENDA ITEM NO. 8.G
the City buying these Gillig buses through the current SOW contract, and both Legal and
Purchasing are also in agreement that this resolution meets local, state, and federal
purchasing requirements.
Funds for the purchase of these units are available as follows:
• FY 2022 5307 FTA funds $450,000
• COVID FTA funds $924,885
Total: $1 ,374,885
Staff recommends the purchase of three (3) 35-foot low floor diesel buses from Gillig LLC
through the State of Washington contract in the amount of $1 ,374,885. It is anticipated
that the buses, once ordered, will be delivered in approximately 12-14 months.

direction, review and decision-making on certain civil service issues that may come before
the Commission. The State of Texas, through the provision of Chapter 143 of the Local
Government Code, provides for civil service and mandates certain rules and regulations
that govern the civil service divisions of Police and Fire personnel.
In certain instances, there may be disputes that arise or operational provisions that are of
question or concern to interested parties to the civil service provisions. The City Manager
is charged with selecting individuals to serve on this Commission and the City Council's
role is to confirm or deny the selection.
In accordance with LGC 143.006 (c-1) a commission member may serve up to three
consecutive terms, and can be reappointed to a fourth or subsequent consecutive term if
the term is confirmed by a two-thirds majority of the City Council. Mr. Heiman is interested
in continuing to serve and staff recommends his reappointment. This item may be

Summary

up to $2,800,000 commitment as follows:

by Panda of the proceeds of their requested Texas Economic Development Bonds,
or (2) December 31, 2021 , whichever comes first; and

AGENDA ITEM NO. 8.J
• A total incentive for job creation and employee relocation of$1,650,000, subject to
(1) execution of payment in lieu of taxes agreement (PILOT) with the City, and (2)
payback to the City of the $1.0M loan; and
• $150,000 for the rail spur improvements.
Collateral for the $1M WFEDC loan is in place and includes Panda-owned equipment
purchased for use at the proposed Wichita Falls facility. The extension of repayment until
mid-calendar 2022 would provide additional time for Panda to solidify their state bond
financing request and/or private capitalization related to the new Wichita Falls facility.
City Council approval of the amendment is required as such represents a material change
in the incentive agreement. Approval of the request by the City Council does not affect
the remainder of the existing agreement, nor affects the existing budget for this project of
up to $2,800,000.
Economic Development staff from the Chamber of Commerce will be in attendance at the
meeting to present the request and answer any questions.
Staff and the WFEDC Board recommend approval of this resolution.
