Randy West, Atmos Energy, 5808 Ashlyanne Circle, informed that August 11 will be
"National 811 Call Before Digging" day. This is the first national media effort to reach a wide public
audience about calling 811 before digging on any project. Call 48 hours in advance for respond to
your requests. This is a free service and very important for everyone's safety.
Luke Halsel, 9426 FM 2606, stated this was another safety issue that needs to be
addressed. It is too dangerous to have hunting on the grazing land at Lake Arrowhead because
there are residences in the very near proximity of the hunting. He asked Council to reconsider
Tracts 2 and 3 by not leasing this land and disallow hunting, or limit the hunters.
Mayor informed that this has not come before Council and they will take his request under
consideration.
420
Item 4 continued
Claudio Ramirez, 2401 McNiel, requested that Vehicle for Hire Ordinance be reviewed and
updated, in particular the chauffeur section. It has been two years since this has been reviewed
and needs attention. Mayor commented that his concerns would be addressed at the upcoming
taxi committee meeting.
Marion Stade, 20132 FM 1954, Holliday, expressed appreciation for allowing her
students to tour City offices. Great paths but have problems with fences constricting sides
and difficult to pass walkers/bicycle riders. Regarding the library, she is a homeschool parent
and are high users, she requested a branch library or a mobile library on the other side of

designating whether a person has insurance is documented or not.

Item 7a
A public hearing was held for the FY 2012 Transit Grant for Capital, Planning and
Operating Assistance for the Wichita Falls Transit System.
Mayor declared the public hearing open.
John Burrus informed that this was the second public hearing required by the Federal
Transit Administration. He noted that this is 2012 money and we are ready to wrap up 2012,
however, that gives you some idea of how much money we accumulate through Federal
Transit Administration as well as how efficient we are with those funds; we are still operating
off 2011 funds. Secondly, it shows a local match of$77,808 but that is to program the whole
amount. You have already done most of that with your investment of$500,000 in your last
budget season for the Travel Center Project. We anticipate for the local match for operations
to be below $26,000. He gave an update on the Travel Center Project, informing that they did
not receive a bus livability grant. The second option is to borrow $1 million from 4A, 4B, or
General Fund and pay that back over a three year period. We can use 100% of federal
dollars to pay that off as opposed to the traditional 80/20.
Mayor called for comments. There being none Mayor declared the public hearing
closed.

Item 11 a
There were no Staff reports.
Item 11 b
Council members brought up the following matters.
Councilor Michael Smith:
a) Continue to pursue water reuse.
b) Letter to the TRN Editor contained false information. In the August 3 edition the
writer wrote that we have added a new fee storm water fee; it is not new it has
been there for years; in another letter it was written that water City bill receipts are
used for the Water Park—that is a lie. He asked the newspaper to check these
things out before printing; give us a break. Folks, contact the City about your
concerns and they will be addressed or you will be given the answer. Give us a
chance to answer your questions before you write TRN
c) As we approach Stage 3 of the Drought Plan, we need to look at the City's
investment on the trees; we need to have a plan as we enter Stage 3.
d) He corrected a mistake he made regarding tax rate over the last 5-10 years. In 10
years we have had three tax rate increases for a total of$0.0 3.2 cents. Inflation at
that time was 23%, and our tax rate increase in those ten years has been a 5.57%
increase. This is an indication of how we have watched your taxpayer money. This
is not a spend thrift organization; we want to run the City as effectively and as well
as we can, but there comes a time when we do have to raise taxes. We cannot
function if you hold the line forever; you have to invest in infrastructure, in the
future. Sometimes prices go up and sometimes tax rates have to go up; we hold it
to the bare minimum.
e) Several activities coming up this month - Hotter'N Hell Hundred, Ranch Roundup.
Councilor Timothy Ingle:
a) Thanked senior staff for their thoughtful and well thought out plans and programs;
has enjoyed the discussions.
b) Reviewed the Polycom Corp economic strength report that TRN wrote about a
week ago. Copy of his comments are on file in the Office of the City Clerk
c) He will ask for support individually from Council members to place on the next
Council agenda an item directing City staff to prepare a request for proposals to
obtain consultant services for the development of a comprehensive economic
development plan.
426
Item 11b continued
Mayor Glenn Barham:
a) Agreed with Councilor Smith that there are a lot of good activities coming up in our
community, Knife Show this week, Ranch Roundup, Hotter'N Hell Hundred, and
Falls Fest.
Item 12
City Council went into Executive Session at 10:59 a.m. in accordance with Texas
Government Code § 551.071, § 551.072, § 551.074 and § 551.087.
