Moved by Councilor Brewer to approve Ordinance 06-2022. Motion seconded by Councilor Browning. Russell Schreiber, Director of Public Works, discussed the current solid waste ordinance, which requires the City to be the sole solid waste collector provider in the City, and how third party collectors have been allowed to service construction and demolition waste, compactor waste, and special waste. Mr. Schreiber discussed state law requirements for Cities to have complete control over solid waste collection for the health, safety, and welfare of the public, and how staff recently discovered several commercial accounts that are being serviced by third party providers. Mr. Schreiber discussed the plan to establish a City commercial roll-off service to return these accounts into compliance with ordinance requirements, the City's intent to only take back commercial solid waste accounts, and that funds to establish this service will come from excess fund balance in the Sanitation Fund. There was brief discussion regarding this item being deemed an emergency. Councilor Jackson moved to table this item and his motion died for a lack of a second. There was lengthy discussion regarding the return on investment, the possible impact to third party providers, the current informal agreement with third party providers, the intent to formalize this agreement, the City's ability to keep up with the demand, and concerns with approving the budget amendment prior to the updated Solid Waste Ordinance being approved. Mr. Leiker noted that Council has been receiving information regarding the proposed Ordinance in weekly updates with no feedback, and it was noted that the intent CITY COUNCIL MINUTES March 1, 2022 PAGE 3 OF 13 Page 3 of 13 Agenda Item No.4. is to bring the updated Solid Waste Ordinance before the Council in April, but to go ahead with needed equipment purchases due to delivery time issues. Hayden Hansen, 6907 Seymour Highway, On-Site Solutions, addressed the Council and spoke against the City establishing commercial roll-off services. Mr. Hansen expressed concerns with alleged TCEQ and law violations, alleged loss of City revenue, the possibility of the City taking over all roll-off services, the need for weekend and holiday service, and the need to approve the revised Solid Waste Ordinance before taxpayer dollars are spent. Mr. Hansen acknowledged that he is not in the business to haul putrescible waste inside the City limits of Wichita Falls, and that the City servicing 30-40 containers will not bankrupt his business, but that it would affect his business. Mayor Santellana, and staff reiterated that there is no intent to take over all roll-off services inside City limits, and discussed budget and purchasing laws. Mr. Hansen's concern is that the City could take over the roll-off business completely in the future, and he encouraged the Council to consider how this would affect all of the companies involved and the City of Wichita Falls. Anthony Inman, 2310 Brook Hollow Dr., addressed the Council and discussed his use of roll-off services, concerns with the return on investment, and future maintenance costs. Mr. Inman suggested that the Council consider passing an Ordinance requiring all trash collected inside City limits to be taken to the City's landfill, or possibly contract out roll-off services. Chad Witherspoon, 4107 McNeil, Luxury Bath, addressed the Council and spoke against the City establishing roll-off services. He discussed his use of roll-off containers, how the City does not provide this service, and concerns about the City creating a monopoly that will erode competitive pricing. Mr. Witherspoon expressed concerns about using excess fund balance, stated that he agrees that all solid waste generated in the City should be taken to the City landfill, and suggested rules should be in place before any purchases are made. Wayne Pharries, 7 Mayfair Terrace, addressed the Council and spoke against the City establishing roll-off services. He discussed the Council's responsibility to serve citizens, asked if any of the Councilors had been asked by citizens to expand City services for roll- off containers, and expressed concerns with this item being declared an emergency. Mr. Pharries encouraged the Council to vote no on items that will put the City in direct competition with a private business for a service that was not previously provided, and to pass the Solid Waste Ordinance before moving forward. Shawn McCullar, 7001 Jacksboro Highway, Wichita Waste Management, addressed the Council and spoke against the City establishing roll-off services. He discussed the services he provides, concerns with third party contractors not knowing how this will affect their business until the rules are established, possible lost revenue that will raise his costs, and how the City has allowed these businesses to become established. Mr. McCullar suggested setting rules that will protect the City's revenues without taking over roll-off CITY COUNCIL MINUTES March 1, 2022 PAGE 4 OF 13 Page 4 of 13 Agenda Item No.4. services, to consider maintenance and insurance costs associated with providing roll-off services, and to not take away business from third party contractors. Andrew Bowles, Wichita Waste Management, addressed the Council and spoke against the City establishing roll-off services. He read a prepared statement and expressed concerns for his business, discussed how the City has allowed roll-off businesses to be built, and stated the public is trying to make a change. Mr. Bowles discussed the concerns of young adults in the community, how the City is making it hard to own a business and is stifling growth. He discussed his desire to invest in Wichita Falls, and encouraged the Council to invest in the citizens and be the change that is needed. Mickey Fincannon, M & R Services, addressed the Council, and spoke against the City establishing roll-off services. He expressed concerns with his dumpster previously being used as an example of an illegal dumpster when no rules were broken, and concerns with staff misleading the Council. As a member of local government, he believes that the Council should be listening to their citizens more than their staff. Mr. Fincannon expressed concerns with this process being rushed and agrees that the Solid Waste Ordinance should be approved prior to any purchases being made. Due to possible technical difficulties with livestreaming Mayor Santellana suspended the meeting for a short break at 9:55 a.m. Mayor Santellana called the meeting back into session at 10:14 a.m. and stated that the live feed was not lost and when watching the replay there should not be a break in the video. Mayor Santellana stated that in light of the ordinance not being ready at this time, he moves to table this item until the April 5, 2022, meeting. Motion was seconded by Councilor Browning. Mickey Fincannon asked that he be allowed to finish his statement. He discussed revenues received from third party providers, expressed concerns with the City allowing third party businesses to provide this service against ordinance provisions, the burden being placed on the taxpayers, and stated that the alleged illegal dumpsters should have been handled by Code Enforcement. Mr. Fincannon expressed concerns with the initial investment and the inability to recover the taxpayer investment, discussed an injunction that was filed to stop action on this item, and stated that the Council should discuss this further as there should be a public need for a public service and there is no public need for this service. Councilor Smith called for a vote on the motion to table. Councilor Browning seconded and the motion to table carried by the following vote: CITY COUNCIL MINUTES March 1, 2022 PAGE 5 OF 13 Page 5 of 13 Agenda Item No.4.

There was brief discussion regarding the total amount of funds Mr. Kelty has received from the Type B Sales Tax Corporation and that this information will be provided to the Council. It was noted that Mr. Kelty has invested between $8 million and $12 million in projects in Wichita Falls and this project will be an additional $16 million investment, and the Type B funds are a very small portion of this investment. There was brief discussion regarding separating the project into two permits and two certificates of occupancy. It was noted that the fire suppression system must be installed throughout the entire building first, and a new pump will be installed to address fire suppression system pressure concerns. Mr. Kelty stated that several of his projects would not have been a success without the support of the Type B Sales Tax Corporation and the City and thanked the Council for their support. Mickey Fincannon, 408 4th Street, addressed the Council and stated he is pro-business pro Wichita Falls and pro Wichita County, and that although he does not always agree with how Type A and Type B funds are expended, he does like to see development and large investors in our community.

Dylan Supernaw, 9291 FM 2106, addressed the Council and spoke against the City establishing roll-off services.

Sympathy c. Empathy b. Console d. None of the above are correct. Officer Paul Hardi appealed this question, asking more than one answer be accepted. He states that the text has overlapping and contradictory definitions of sympathy and empathy. Commissioner Fidelie asked for clarification on whether the question is thrown out or more than one answer accepted. Officer Hardi states "accept more than one answer". Officer McPherson asks that more than one answer be accepted. Commissioner Fidelie asks "where do you see the contradiction"? Officer McPherson states in the definition on page 176. Commissioner Fidelie moved that the answer key be upheld. Seconded by Commissioner Buckley, the motion carried 3-0. Question 59. Source Texas Health and Safety Code, Answer Key A According to Section 481.122, an adult person commits an offense if the adult knowingly delivers marijuana to a child (under 18 years old and the child is also enrolled in a public or private secondary school). The offense for this act is which of the following? a. Felony of the second degree c. Felony of the first degree b. Class A misdemeanor d. State jail felony Officer Higgins appealed this question, stating that the verbiage of adult is limiting versus a person as stated in the Health and Safety Code. Thus taking away the ability to use it in the field and changes the scope of the law. Commissioner Fidelie reiterates the Health and Safety Code states person and the question states adult person. Wouldn't an adult person still be classified as a person? Officer Higgins responses it depends. The definition states someone over 18 or someone under 18 that has had the disabilities and minorities removed. Commissioner Fidelie ask what are you asking the commission to do. Officer Higgins, "throw the question out". Commission discussed discrepancy with definitions. Commissioner Fidelie moved that the answer key be upheld.

Page 2 of 6 Agenda Item No.5.a Civil Service Commission Minutes December 20,2021 3 a. Class C misdemeanor c. Class B misdemeanor b. State jail felony d. Class A misdemeanor Officer Hardi appealed this question and asks more than one answer be accepted. He states two references could be used 481.125 or 485.033. He states that the question is misleading and does not offer an identifiable distinction as to which statute was intended to be the source. Please note the similarities. Both offenses are from the Health and Safety Code. both offenses specifically pertain to paraphernalia, both offenses contain enhancements. and both offences contain the specific terms inhale, ingest, and otherwise introduce. The question omits nineteen terms that could have identified section 125 more clearly. Statue titles were used inconsistently throughout the test. Question 60 and 61 were from the same statue, however, question 60 had no title while question 61 had the title. Officer Hardi believes the question is unfair and misleading. Commissioner Heiman asked for clarification between question 60 and 61 formatting. Officer Hardi states that the section title inclusion makes the question clearer. Officer McPherson disagrees with Officer Hardi. Asks the answer key be upheld. Commissioner Fidelie moved that the answer key be upheld. Seconded by Commissioner Buckley, the motion carried 3-0.

Officer Cervantes reads the statue emphasizing and. She states that when a series ends in and, it indicates all the factors are needed in order for the officer to apprehend without a warrant. All the answer together are correct but not individually. Commissioner Fidelie asks if Officer Cervantes would agree that each of these are a component of identifying if someone were to be taken into custody. Officer Cervantes states yes a component but you have to have all three in order for it to be correct. Page 3 of 6 Agenda Item No.5.a Civil Service Commission Minutes December 20, 202I 4 Commissioner Heiman states the answer says all of the above are correct. Officer Cervantes recants that saying A alone is not correct, B alone is not correct, C alone is not correct, only all three together are correct. Officer Felts asks that the answer key be upheld. All factors are used to assess and the question was worded fairly. Commissioner Buckley ask if they look at those individually or as a whole. Officer Felts states it depends on the situation. Officer Wilson agrees with Officer Cervantes. That all need to be present to take someone into custody. Officer McPherson agrees with Officer Felts that the answer key is correct. Commissioner Fidelie moved that the answer key be upheld. Seconded by Commissioner Buckley, the motion carried 3-0. Question 65.

The test question references a Bachelor Degree bar and being able to recognize it by picture.General Order 100.041 states that it is the purpose of the Employee Recognition Committee to review cases involving meritorious service and make recommendation for recognition of acts performed by members of the department. It is not the duty of the supervisor, it is the duty of the Employee Recognition Committee. Officer Cervantes argues what is the relevance of the question. Commissioner Fidelie asks who makes up the committee. Officer Cervantes states all different ranks of members of the department. Chief Borrego adds that civilians also sit on the committee. Commissioner Heiman asks is it important to recognize awards on your fellow officers. Officer Cervantes again argues the relevance of the question in reference to as a supervisor. Officer Felts asks that the answer key be upheld. Commissioner Fidelie moved that the answer key be upheld. Seconded by Commissioner Buckley, the motion carried 3-0.

INITIATING DEPT: Aviation, Traffic, & Transportation STRATEGIC GOAL: Provide Quality Infrastructure STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: Upgrade or replace outdated public facilities COMMENTARY: On February 22, 2022, staff received notification from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) of a new program to build, modernize, and upgrade airport facilities under the Airport Terminal program. Approximately$5 billion has been identified for this program, with approximately $500 million available to non-hub airports, such as Wichita Falls. The local match for this project is calculated at 5% of the project cost or $184,211. The local match funds for the project will come from prior year COVID grants. Because the Wichita Falls Regional is only seven years old and in excellent condition, staff recommends using these funds, if successful, to reconstruct the 50+ year old general aviation terminal. The General Aviation terminal was identified by the Airport staff in their 15-year long-term plan developed in August of 2021. This facility serves the following public customers through the Regional Airport Fixed Base Operations: • Based and transient general aviation • Transient military aviation • Charter aviation outside of FAA Part 139 requirements Initial project scope has identified the need for approximately 5,000 square feet of modern general aviation terminal that will address the following needs identified in the Airport Terminal Program: • Improve energy efficiencies through modernization • Expand accessibility for persons with disabilities • Improve passenger/customer access • Replace aging infrastructure If successful on this grant application, staff anticipates using FAA COVID grant funds for the local match requirements.

INITIATING DEPT: Aviation, Traffic, & Transportation STRATEGIC GOAL: Efficiently deliver City services STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: Streamline municipal business practices; COMMENTARY: With the adoption of the Fiscal Year 21-22 budget, the Wichita Falls City Council approved funding for consulting services for the City's Fleet Maintenance Division. On February 8, 2022, staff received three proposals for fleet consulting services. Staff interviewed all three companies, and selected Mercury Associates, Inc. as the most qualified and the best value for the City of Wichita Falls. Mercury has experience in both governmental and private fleet analysis. With the approval of this agenda item, staff will work with Mercury Associates in Phase I to address the following scope of work for the City's Fleet Maintenance Division: • Data collection • Develop Fleet Replacement Plan • Conduct statistical analysis of fleet utilization • Conduct Vehicle Allocation Methodology "right-sizing" study • Develop fleet operating rates and chargeback model • Conduct Optimal Replacement Cycle Analysis This proposal exceeds the original Phase I scope of work first identified by staff. Staff desires to accelerate the current schedule of work to better address the uncertain future economic conditions, as well as to better manage current inflationary trends. While Phase I work has been identified, staff also anticipates using Mercury Associates for additional work beginning in October of 2022. The second phase of work will include a review of Fleet Maintenance processes and best practices. The goal of this second phase will be to improve efficiencies in the repair and maintenance processes. Staff plans to bring a second agenda item to City Council in October of 2022 for these additional services. Staff will budget for this second phase of work in the upcoming FY 23 fiscal year process. Upon completion of this work, Mercury will also provide the City of Wichita Falls with PAGE 1 OF 3 PAGES AGENDA ITEM NO. 8.D various analytical tools to use for future internal analysis. Budgeted Amount: $50,000 Scope of Work: $107,460 Budget Shortfall: $57,460 To correct the budget shortfall, funding will come from the postponement of a $108,000 capital vehicle replacement that was scheduled for this year. According to local suppliers, the 2022 models for this unit is no longer available. Additionally, replacement pricing has not been provided for the 2023 models. Given the uncertainty of this funding not being used for its intended purpose in this fiscal year, staff recommends transferring funds for this purchase to address the budget shortfall for this proposed consulting work. Staff recommends the selection of Mercury Associates, Inc. for fleet consulting services for the City of Wichita Falls. ® Director, Aviation, Traffic, & Transportation ® Director of Finance ASSOCIATED INFORMATION: Resolution ; ® Budget Office Review ® City Attorney Review ® City Manager Approval PAGE 2 OF 3 PAGES AGENDA ITEM NO. 8.D Resolution No. Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement with Mercury Associates, Inc. for Phase I Fleet Maintenance Consulting Services and authorizing the payment of up to $107,460 in fees WHEREAS, the City of Wichita Falls desires consulting services be performed to address long term financial needs and operational efficiencies associated with its Fleet Maintenance Division operations; and, WHEREAS, the FY 22 Fleet Maintenance budget has funding available to support these consulting services; and, WHEREAS, Mercury Associates, Inc. proposes to provide these Phase I services at an estimated cost of$107,460.

INITIATING DEPT: Public Works STRATEGIC GOAL: Provide Quality Infrastructure STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: Complete Public Improvements Projects COMMENTARY: On February 2, 2021, bids were opened for the 2021 Asphalt Rehabilitation Project. This project is generally described as the rehabilitation of various asphalt City streets, and associated work. Freeman Paving, LLC was awarded the project in the amount of $1,018,865.50 on March 2, 2021. On June 15, 2021, Change Order No. 1 was approved and added the replacement of asphalt at the 7th Street railroad crossing and a section of W. Arrowhead Drive to the project. The project has been complete for quite some time, with the exception of the 7th Street crossing work, and the final quantities have been tabulated for this project. Due to delays with BNSF, the contractor has not been able to complete the work for the 7th Street railroad crossing. Therefore, staff is proposing, in order to move forward with closing and final acceptance of this project, that the RR crossing work be added into the 2022 Asphalt Rehab Project. The surplus funds from this project will roll back into fund balance and will be utilized in the 2022 Asphalt Rehabilitation project. Staff recommends the approval of Change Order No. 2 for the 2021 Asphalt Rehabilitation Project to allow for final acceptance and close-out of the project. ® Director, Public Works ASSOCIATED INFORMATION: Resolution , Change Order No. 2 ® Budget Office Review ® City Attorney Review ® City Manager Approval PAGE 1 OF 3 PAGES AGENDA ITEM NO.8.F Resolution No. Resolution authorizing the City Manager to approve Change Order No. 2 for the 2021 Asphalt Rehabilitation Project for a reduction of $63,987.50 WHEREAS, the City of Wichita Falls has tabulated the final quantities for Change Order No. 2 for a reduction of$63,987.50 for a final contract amount of $1,064,461.50.

INITIATING DEPT: Public Works STRATEGIC GOAL: Provide Quality Infrastructure STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: Complete Public Improvements Projects COMMENTARY: On February 1, 2022, bids were opened for the 2022 Asphalt Rehabilitation Project. This project is generally described as the rehabilitation of various asphalt City streets, and associated work. Freeman Paving, LLC was awarded the project in the amount of $1,334,392.50 on February 15, 2022. The 7th Street railroad crossing has not been upgraded in years and has become extremely rough and difficult to cross. Traffic must proceed at an extremely slow speed to safely cross the 9 sets of railroad tracks. Therefore, the City entered into a Joint Funding agreement with BNSF for resurfacing of the crossing in April of this year. The agreement requires the City to replace the asphalt between the tracks after the new planking is installed. This Change Order will add the work required for the removal and replacement of the asphalt between the outside edge of each track planking and leading up to the railroad crossing. Staff recommends the approval of Change Order No. 1. Funding for this change order will come from the existing street rehab budget. ® Director, Public Works ASSOCIATED INFORMATION: Resolution , Change Order No. 1, Location Map ® Budget Office Review ® City Attorney Review ® City Manager Approval PAGE 1 OF 4 PAGES AGENDA ITEM NO. 8.G Resolution No. Resolution authorizing the City Manager to approve Change Order No. 1 for the 2022 Asphalt Rehabilitation Project to Freeman Paving, L.L.C. in the amount of $80,565.50 for the replacement of asphalt at the 7th Street railroad crossing WHEREAS, the City of Wichita Falls entered a unit price contract with Freeman Paving, LLC for the 2022 Asphalt Rehabilitation Project with the estimated total cost of $1 ,334,392.50; and, WHEREAS, the City of Wichita Falls has negotiated Change Order No. 1 for an addition of$80,565.50 for a final contract amount of$1 ,414,958.00.

INITIATING DEPT: City Manager's Office STRATEGIC GOAL: Accelerate Economic Growth STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: n/a COMMENTARY: Pursuant to Texas Local Government Code §501.073(a) "The corporation's authorizing unit (i.e. City Council) will approve all programs and expenditures of a corporation and annually review any financial statements of the corporation." Several years ago, the WFEDC and 707 North Scott, LLC (707 NS) entered into a Performance Agreement to incentivize 707 NS to employ a certain number of people to keep and create jobs in Wichita Falls. In connection with the agreement was a forgivable loan in an amount $327,310, secured by a Deed of Trust covering the Property. If 707 NS employed or leased to a tenant who employed the requisite number of employees as provided for in the Performance Agreement, WFEDC agreed to forgive the entire principal and interest amounts owed under the loan over a certain number of years. If there was a shortfall in reaching the requisite number of employees, 707 NS would be required to repay a portion of the loan for each employee below the requisite number. 707 NS has leased the Property to Dental Planet, LLC ("Dental Planet") exclusively since the date of the loan. In August 2020, Nick Whittington and Tony Brumley purchased Dental Planet. Nick and Tony have been employees of Dental Planet for 21 years and 17 years, respectively, and minority owners since March 2012. They are local businessmen who wanted to keep Dental Planet in Wichita Falls and decided to invest in the business to make that happen. With that same mindset, they have approached the owners of 707 NS to purchase the Property and bring ownership back into local hands and have formed DuraPro to purchase the Property from 707 NS. Since the loan was made, $224,753 has been forgiven, and $4,364 has been repaid. Dental Planet's employment has met the qualifications for the maximum loan forgiveness for each annual installment, except for 2020, in which they had a shortfall of 4 full-time PAGE 1 OF 6 PAGES AGENDA ITEM NO. 8.1 positions in part due to the pandemic. The remaining balance of the loan to be forgiven, or a portion to be paid if qualifications are not met annually is $98,193 by December 1, 2024. Dental Planet intends to continue to meet the terms of the Performance Agreement to qualify DuraPro for the maximum loan forgiveness for the remainder of the loan. In order to purchase the Property, DuraPro requested of the WFEDC: 1. to consent to DuraPro's assumption of WFEDC's existing loan to 707 NS, and 2. to subordinate its existing lien against the Property (take a second position) to a new bank lien for DuraPro to finance the remaining portion of the purchase price. At its regular meeting on February 17, 2022, the WFEDC Board approved the request. The applicants as well as economic development staff from the Chamber will be in attendance at the meeting to provide additional information and to answer any questions. Staff and the WFEDC Board recommend approval of this resolution. ® Assistant City Manager ASSOCIATED INFORMATION: (1) Resolution, (2) information provided to WFEDC ® Budget Office Review ® City Attorney Review ® City Manager Approval PAGE 2 OF 6 PAGES AGENDA ITEM NO. 8.1 Resolution No. Resolution authorizing DuraPro Enterprises, LLC to assume the Wichita Falls Economic Development Corporation's existing loan to 707 North Scott, LLC and to subordinate WFEDC's existing lien against the Property to a new bank lien for DuraPro to finance the remaining portion of the purchase price WHEREAS, Texas Local Gov't.

The Wichita Falls Economic Development Corporation's approval and funding of the following program modification as described below and in said corporation's agenda, are approved: DuraPro Enterprises, LLC: • DuraPro Enterprises, LLC is authorized to assume the WFEDC's existing loan to 707 North Scott, LLC and to subordinate WFEDC's existing lien against the Property to a new bank lien for DuraPro to finance the remaining portion of the purchase price.

MAYOR ATTEST: City Clerk PAGE 3 OF 6 PAGES AGENDA ITEM NO. 8.1 WICHITA FALLS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION PROJECT SIJMIVLARY February 17,2022 ITEM/SUBJECT: Dental Planct/DuraPro LLC project INITIATED BY: Henry Florsheim ATTACHED: I.etter from DuraPro;current performance agreement with 707 North Scott LLC COMMENTARY: The owners of Dental Planet are attempting to purchase the property where the company is located(at 707 North Scott). This includes their assumption of the existing performance agreement between the Wl'LDC and 707 North Scott LLC. Their bank is requiring a first position on collateral;the company is asking if the WFEDC would take a subordinate position to allow the sale of property to go through. Since this loan was made in 2014.S224,753 has been forgiven. Dental Planet has net its employment requirements each year except in 2020 when they fell short by I'oxir positions; that year they repaid the required S4,364. The remaining balance of the loan is S98.193. w inch will be completely forgiven or paid for by December I,2024. RECOMMENDATION: Considering the small amount left on the loan balance,I recommend the EDC agree to move to a second collateral position on the existing loan. This will allow local ownership to purchase the property and be more in control of their own future. SAMPLE MOTION: To amend the existing performance agreement with 707 North Scott LLC to allow the WFEDC to take a subordinate position on collateral.

Aviation industries prefer to be located near or at an airport due to testing requirements and the fact that many uimes they work on a variety of aircrafts. In discussing this strategy with John Burress and Jon Waltjc]h,we have become aware of the potential of acquiring adjoining land next to the Wichita Falls Airport to create our own aviation business park. Potentially,this park could be as large as 125 acres. In addition, we have been made aware that the Wichita Falls Regional Airport could receive as much as $IQ.00O,0 0 from the federal government to help with the project. Before we can acquire the property,we must get an appraisal, secure an option and conduct a Phase [Environmental Study. We estimate the cost for all would be no more than$75M00. This development would certainly put Wichita. Falls on the map and add another asset to our recruitment efforts_ RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the board approve this request to spend up to $75,000 to allow us to move forward on this project and work with federal officials to secure the$I OM funding_ SAMPLE MOTION: To spend up to $75,000 for real estate options and site studies on properties adjacent to the Wichita Falls Regional Airport for purposes of developing industrial sites for potential tenants_ Respectfully submitted, David A.
