EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH
FOR
MAY 2022
NAME: Britney Wise
DEPARTMENT: Health
HIRED: October 12, 2020
PRESENT POSITION: City Registrar
NARRATIVE: The Health District has selected Ms. Britney Wise to be the employee of
the month for the department. Britney joined the department in October of 2020, as the
City Registrar. To join a public health team during the time of a pandemic was challenging
enough, but Britney was the supervisor in the Vital Records Section where both the
supervisor and subordinate position were vacated at the same time — leaving limited
subject matter expertise. Britney had to quickly learn all of the intricacies of the position,
to include state law around birth and death records, the department and COVID-19. She
was able to do this remarkably fast; she and the Assistant City Registrar have made the
transition seamless to the general public. She has taken on any challenge given to her
without complaint. Britney and her team have worked to improve services and provide
excellent customer service. The Texas Department of State Health Services recognized
Britney and her team with their 5-Star Award, which recognizes those who go above and
beyond the duties of birth and death registration by attending training and keeping up with
the latest legislation and trends. We are incredibly glad she joined the Health District and
are thankful for her service.
FAMILY: Britney and Keivin (also part of the City of Wichita Falls family at the WFFD)
have three children — Teagan, Kaison and Bradley
HOBBIES: Britney enjoys soccer, working out, and being a mom
CLOSING: Britney Wise is an excellent employee for the Health District and the City
of Wichita Falls.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA
May 3, 2022
ITEM/SUBJECT: Resolution reducing the rental fee of the Mobile Stage for the
Founders Lions Club for the T-O Fair on September 13-17, 2022.
INITIATING DEPT: Parks & Recreation
STRATEGIC GOAL: Actively Communicate and Engage the Public
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: Strengthen Partnerships with Not-for-Profits
COMMENTARY: The Founders Lions Club has requested a reduced fee for the rental
of the Mobile Stage for their T-O Fair annual event at the MPEC on September 13-17,
2022. The Club and the City have had a revenue sharing agreement for the event since
the opening of the MPEC, and the City Council has approved a reduced rental fee for this
organization and event since the City acquired the Mobile Stage in 2005.
The standard rental fee is $525 per day, plus any accessories and the $1,000 damage
deposit. Our prior arrangement with the Lions Club is to only charge for the labor costs
associated with setting up the stage for the event. The estimated labor only cost to the
City for the five-day event would be approximately $600. This cost includes the hauling
from the storage barn at Central Services and set up on the first day, three days of
opening the stage in the morning and closing the stage at night, and the last day of
preparing and hauling back to the storage barn. If the fee reduction is approved, staff
recommends the minimum charge be set at $600 to cover the City's labor costs. Other
reservation procedures may be waived including payment for any accessories desired
and the damage deposit.
Staff recommendation
Staff recommends the City Council approve the resolution (1) approving a rental fee of
$600 for the duration of the event, (2)waiving the fee for any accessories, and (3) waiving
the damage deposit.

VIII. REGULAR AGENDA
1. Case C 22-05 — 1001 Polk Street:
Consider taking action on a conditional use to allow for a convenience
store in a Limited Commercial (LC) zoning district.
Applicant/Owner: Franklin Parikh
Mr. Jeremy Woodward made a motion to approve the case. Mr. Wayne Pharries
seconded the motion. Mr. Fabian Medellin presented the case and stated Mr.
Franklin Parikh was interested in purchasing 1001 Polk Street to convert a former
laundry mat into a convenience store. The subject property is located in a Limited
Commercial (LC) zoning district in which convenience stores are not allowed by
right, however, they are conditionally allowed with the approval of the Commission.
Mr. Parikh has submitted a conditional use permit application with the owner's
approval.
Mr. Medellin advised the subject property is located at the intersection of 10th
Street, Polk Street and Avenue A, which is east of the 10th Street and Kemp
Boulevard intersection. To the north are a couple of non-residential uses; Floral
Page 2 of 4
Agenda Item No.6.c
Planning and Zoning 3 March 9, 2022
Heights United Methodist Church and the Boys Scouts. There are residential uses
to the north and south; however, along 10th Street there are a variety of uses from
single family to services, locksmith, and other convenience stores. Mr. Parikh is
proposing to convert the previous laundry mat into a convenience store. As part of
his proposal, Mr. Parikh will have to submit plans showing how all the non-
conforming elements of the structure and site would be brought up to current
codes. There potentially could be screening required to separate from residential
uses.
Mr. Medellin stated on 10th Street the mixed uses were within two zoning districts,
General Commercial (GC) and Limited Commercial (LC). Staff notified property
owners within 200ft. of the subject property and received only one response in
opposition. The residence to the east, adjacent to subject site was concerned about
rain water runoff. As part of the requirements to bring the site into compliance with
building codes this issue will be addressed.
After consideration of the proposed use, staff recommends approval of this
Conditional Use Permit request for 1001 Polk St. to allow for a convenience store in
a Limited Commercial (LC) zoning district with the following conditions:
1. Obtain all necessary permits and licenses in accordance with city
ordinances, adopted building code and health code regulations.
2. Bring all non-conforming site elements into compliance with current codes
to include parking lot striping, screening, landscaping, and stormwater
drainage.
4. Any additional site improvements or developmental requirements as
required by the Health, Building, or Zoning Codes will be subject to the
site plan review process.
5. Comply with all special conditions unique to the Limited Commercial (LC)
zoning district to include limitations of hours of operation and signage.
6. Prior to initiating operations all developmental requirements, conditions,
permits and licensing shall be reviewed, approved, constructed and
inspected.
7. No illuminated signage, either by internal or external lighting, will be
allowed on the site.
Mr. Terry Floyd advised the Commission that this property was located in the
Wichita Falls revitalization area where feedback from citizens has indicated a need
for more shopping opportunities. Mr. Floyd also noted this falls in line with the City
Council's Strategic Plan. Chairman Cook asked if the applicant was present and
wished to make a presentation. The applicant, was present, but wished to make no
presentation. Chairman Cook asked if there were any public comments. Mr. Cook
closed the case for public discussion and opened it up to the Commission. With no

Regular Agenda Item
III. Action Item: Design Review— 1410 Grant Street: West Floral Heights Historic District
Request design review approval for various exterior repairs;
a) Roof Replacement & Rafter Tail Repairs on Rear Detached Garage Apartment
b) Porch Railings — Replace
c) Fencing — Install New 6ft. Wood Privacy Fence in the North Side of the Yard
Page 1 of 5
Agenda Item No.6.d
Landmark Commission 2 March 22, 2022
Ms. Gagne stated staff had worked closely with the property owners over the past year
regarding various interior system upgrades and improvements along with the current
request for various exterior repairs. The subject property is located in the 1400 block of
Grant Street on the corner or Grant Street and Avenue E. The Colonial Revival home was
built in 1928 and is a contributing structure in the district,
Ms. Gagne advised the property had essentially been unchanged since it's designation in
January 2005 with the exception of the removal of some landscaping. Current photos
clearly illustrated the deteriorated and damaged areas on the detached 2-story garage as
visible from the alley and Avenue E. Staff noted the contractor will replace the entire roofing
materials and repair/replace, where necessary, the rafter tails with wood. The owner would
like to replace the original steel-shingle roof with an alternate material using architectural
Class A shingles on the rear, detached structure.
Ms. Gagne stated when rehabilitating a historic home, there may be valid reasons for
replacing the roof with a material other than the original, in this case the rear detached
building not the primary structure, referencing the Technical Preservation Briefs from the
National Park Service (#4 — Roofing for Historic Buildings) that "...asphalt shingles or
ceramic tiles are common substitute materials intended to duplicate the appearance of
wood shingles, slates or tiles..." The practical problems should be weighed against the
historical consideration of scale, texture and color. On roofs with a high degree of visibility
and patterning or texture, the substitution may seriously alter the architectural character of
the building. The decision to use an alternative material falls to the Commission, and should
be considered on a case-by-case basis and carefully weighed against the primary concern
to keep the historic character of the building.
For the second request (porch railings), current photos of the porch railing include sections
proposed for replacement installed by a previous home owner and have an initial "C"
section that will be replaced with spindle balusters matching existing railing sections. Ms.
Gagne stated the porch railing system currently is not safe due to the deterioration over the
decades.
The last item the home owners are requesting is to install a 6ft. wooden privacy fence along
the north property line and cut south toward the driveway behind the row of shrubs. The
proposed fence will be approximately 40ft. from the front property line and limited to the
interior side yard.
Ms. Gagne introduced the home owner, Brenda Burgett and stated she was present for
any questions. Ms. Christy Graham made a motion to separate the petition into three
separate items for consideration, Ms. Ponder Smith seconded. Some discussion among
the Commission about styles and colors of the existing and proposed materials. The first
item for consideration, the roof on the rear, detached building. Mr. Andy Lee made a motion
to approve the request as presented. Ms. Ponder Smith seconded and the motion which
passed unanimously with a 7-0 vote. The second item, porch railing system replacement,
Ms. Ponder Smith made a motion to approve the petition as presented in accordance with
the Wichita Falls Design Guidelines. Mr. Hartmangruber seconded and the motion passed
unanimously 7-0. For the last item of new privacy fencing, Ms. Christy Graham made a
motion to approve the request as presented which follows the recommendations outlined
in the Wichita Falls Design Review Guidelines that there shall be no new fences in the front

Agenda Item No.6.d
Landmark Commission 3 March 22, 2022
yard setback in the West Floral Heights Historic District. Ms. Ponder Smith seconded and
the motion passed with a vote of 7-0 in favor.
IV. Action Item: Design Review — 1100 Travis Street (Hodges Hardy Chambers House):
West Floral Heights Historic District— Recorded Texas Historic Landmark (RTHL) & City
of Wichita Falls Landmark #7
Request design review approval for Roof Replacement: Cedar Shakes to Architectural
Laminated Asphalt Composite Shingles (vents, limited wood decking/felt underlayment)
Ms. Gagne stated the subject property at 1100 Travis is commonly known as the Hodges
Hardy Chambers House and has a triple designation with National Register of Historic
Places (NRHP), Recorded Texas Historic Landmark (RTHL) and is City of Wichita Falls
Landmark #7. The structure, built circa 1893-1895 by builders Moore & Richolt, is located
downtown across the street from First United Methodist Church and is considered the most
significant surviving local example of the Eastlake style (late Victorian period) of the late
19th/early 20th centuries structures.
Roof damage was not visible from street view as inventory photos showed from 2012 &
2013. In March 2019, when owners were converting from commercial to a private
residence, inventory photos show cedar shakes in poor condition, with buckling and splitting
visible from the right-of-way. In current photos, the existing roof conditions show the entire
roof contains areas in need of repair/replacement with missing and/or curled cedar shakes.
Ms. Gagne advised the damage is severe enough that the owners must check the attic for
water leaks during and after rain events. The home is currently insured, however, the policy
has an exclusion for the roof due to the cedar shakes and their age. The average life for a
cedar shake roof is up to 50-years, however, in our north Texas climate with severe winds,
storms (hail/sleet) combined with strong sun exposure contribute to a shortening life of the
shingles.
The homeowner has been in contact with Texas Historic Commission (THC) and received
a letter stating they had determined that no further consultation was required and have
opted to not remove the RTHL designation and waive any remaining review waiting period.
However, THC did state the following expectations to be addressed by the contractor/owner
for the project: 1) that only fully deteriorated wood plank decking be replaced; 2) consider
passive ridgeline and soffit vents or alternatively have the selected wind turbines or pop-up
vents on the rear side of the roof; and, 3) thoroughly photograph the existing cedar shake
roof before removal for the purposes of documentation and potential future restoration.
Ms. Gagne introduced the owner, Ms. Cary McNew who provided a shingle replacement
example for Commission review noted was available for questions. Brief discussion
between staff and Commission members on cedar shake roofs and current damage to roof.
Ms. Christy Graham stated she was happy with the owners' efforts to maintain the historic
integrity of the home. Ms. Graham introduced a motion to approve the petition for a
replacement roof with the alternate materials as presented. Ms. Ponder Smith seconded
and the motion passed unanimously with a 7-0 vote.

V. Action Item: Design Review — 1408 Buchanan Street: West Floral Heights Historic
District
Request design review approval for fencing;
a) Replacement of Side Yard Sections, Board on Board with Concrete Footer.
b) Increase Height from 6ft. to 8ft.
c) Replace Rear Yard Chain Link Fencing with 8ft. Wood Privacy Fence.
Ms. Gagne stated the staff had been working with the current property owner on replacing
damaged fence on the east, south and west side of the property. The home is located in
the 1400 block of Buchanan Street between Avenue D and Avenue E and received its
district designation in 2005. The home was built circa 1925-1930 in the craftsman/prairie
style with a detached 2-story garage apartment and is a contributing structure to the district.
Ms. Gagne advised inventory photos show the property had essentially remained
unchanged since its district designation. Current photos showed the deteriorated wood
fence in detail and shattered pickets from a recent wind storm. Photos were provided by
the homeowner taken from inside the yard and show little privacy and views from multiple
neighbor's windows that can be seen from the deck of the pool. The existing 6ft privacy
fence is lower than the elevation inside the rear yard.
The petition requested replacement of the 6ft. privacy fence along with increased height to
have an 8ft. board on board, concrete footer fence and to replace the damaged chain link
fence located at the rear of the property (alley) with the matching 8ft. board on board fence,
concrete footer and metal support poles. The fencing location will be south (side yard), east
(side yard) and west (rear yard) of the home for safety and privacy. Ms. Ponder Smith made
a motion to approve the petition for replacement privacy fencing as presented based on
compliance with the Wichita Falls Design Review Guidelines regarding placement of new
fencing outside the front yard setback. Mr. John Dickinson seconded the motion, the design
review case passed unanimously with a 7-0 vote.

May 3, 2022
ITEM/SUBJECT: Ordinance deleting Chapter 26 Article VII, amending Chapter 90 by
moving Section 90-34 to Chapter 50-110 and deleting and replacing
the remaining sections of Chapter 90 as provided herein, setting an
effective date, and providing codification.
INITIATING DEPT: Public Works
STRATEGIC GOAL: Provide Quality Infrastructure
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: n/a
COMMENTARY: In October of 2021, through the course of implementing our new
Routeware software, staff discovered numerous discrepancies in the solid waste service
being provided to business and commercial solid waste customers. An example would
be entire apartment complexes with only a 96-gal curb-cart servicing their entire solid
waste collection needs. Staff found that 3rd party roll-off providers had supplanted the
City required solid waste collection. This 3rd party service, which is in violation of the City
current solid waste ordinance, had caused loss of service to these customers and has
had dramatic impacts to the city's overall solid waste system, causing rate increases for
the other solid waste customers, and in some cases, violation of the TCEQ regulations
for collection and disposal of solid waste.
To remedy the situation, staff proposed several options to the Council and the ultimate
direction received was to modify the existing solid waste ordinance to franchise and allow
for 3rd party roll-off service for commercial, construction/demolition, compactor, recycling,
and special waste collection, and that all municipal solid waste generated inside the city
must be delivered to the city landfill. Through the course of modifying the Ordinance, staff,
in conjunction with the Legal Department, took the opportunity to revise the entire solid
waste ordinance to make it much more user friendly and understandable.
The following are the general provisions in the new Ordinance:
• Article I - General
o This section defines the terms used in the Ordinance and aligns them with
the TCEQ TAC 30 definition of terms.
o Establishes the requirement for solid waste collection service for all
properties inside the City.
o Requires all MSW, with the exception of Special waste, be delivered to the
City landfill. (New)
o Addresses the city's drop-off recycling program.
PAGE 1 OF 35 PAGES
AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.A
o Addresses Volunteer clean-up events and how those are to be handled.
(New)
• Article II - Residential Collection
o Establishes the requirement for all residential solid waste service to be
provided by the City's solid waste division.
o Allows for residents to deliver their own solid waste to the Transfer Station
or Landfill free of charge.
o Establishes a schedule for collection and the types of service to be
provided, i.e., curbside and alley
o Defines the timing for curbcart placement for collection services.
o Defines the City's "Bulky Waste" collection services and how it works.
(New)
o Addresses the City's 10-yard residential roll-off service.
• Article Ill — Commercial and Industrial Collection Services by the City
o Requires all commercial/industrial customers to have City solid waste
service
o Allows the customer to request the level of additional service they need.
o Allows for City provided 10-yrd roll-off service
o Prohibits certain types of waste from being placed in containers.
o Allows customers that bale and transport their own cardboard for recycling
to continue to do so. (Walmarts, United, others) (New)
• Article IV — Disposal Facilities
o Requires waste delivered to the Landfill of Transfer Station to be unloaded
as directed by staff.
o Establishes a limit on the weight and size of vehicles allowed at the
Transfer Station.
o Requires all construction waste to be delivered to the Landfill only. (Not
allowed at the Transfer Station)
o Provides for a fine for unsecured loads, per state
• Article V — Franchised Commercial and Industrial Service
o Requires any business engaged in collection and transporting
Commercial, Construction or Demolition, Compactor, Bulky Waste,
Recyclable materials, or Special waste inside the City to be franchised.
(New)
o Provides for exception to the franchise. Basically haulers that are
permitted by another agency (TDLR, others, or are haulers of waste that is
not allowed in the City landfill). (New)
o Limits franchised service to 10-yd roll-offs and larger and compactors.
(Cannot provide dumpster or curbcart service) (New)
o Establishes the information to be provided to secure a franchise permit.
(New)
o Establishes the timeframe of the franchise. (New)
PAGE 2 OF 35 PAGES
AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.A
o Establishes the penalties for violation and appeals process of the
franchise permit. (New)
o Provides for a Franchise fee, to be assessed. These fees will be set by
separate Ordinance. (New)
o Establishes reporting requirements for the franchise permit holder. (New)
o Establishes requirements for the containers being provided by the
franchise permit holder. (New)
o Allows for inspection of franchised containers. (New)
o Requires property owners requesting roll-off and compactor service to
obtain a site permit. (C/D sites are excluded) (New)
o Provides for a Site Fee to be assessed. (New)
o Allows the City to request information from the site owner for tracking
purposes. (New)
o Allows the City to request information from contractors for C/D tracking
purposes. (New)
• Article VI — Specific and Special Waste
o Prohibits these types of waste from being placed or unloaded at a City
solid waste facility. (New)
• Article VII — Organic Recycling
o Outlines the City's Organics recycling program
The effective date of the new Ordinance will be September 1, 2022. This will allow staff,
customers, and 3rd party roll-off companies' time to work through franchise and site
permitting requirements.
Staff recommends approval of the new Solid Waste Ordinance.

ITEM/SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing the City Manager to apply for and accept
funding in an amount of$9,240,000 for the Old Windthorst Rd and E
Hatton Rd Street Improvement Project under the RAISE
Discretionary Grant Program provided by the U.S. Department of
Transportation.
INITIATING DEPT: Public Works
STRATEGIC GOAL: Provide Quality Infrastructure
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: Complete Signature Public Improvements
COMMENTARY: The U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) published a Notice of
Funding Opportunity for $1.5 billion in grant funding through the Rebuilding American
Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) Discretionary Grant Program, which
was made possible by President Biden's Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and is codified in
49 U.S.C. section 6702. The RAISE Grant Program provides a unique opportunity for
USDOT to invest in road, rail, transit, and port projects that promise to achieve local or
regional objectives.
Eligible RAISE projects are rigorously reviewed and selected based on merit. Projects
are evaluated on statutory criteria of safety, environmental sustainability, quality of life,
economic competitiveness and opportunity, state of good repair, partnership, mobility and
community connectivity, and innovation.
Staff believes this would be a good opportunity to fund the Old Windthorst Rd and E
Hatton Rd Street Improvement Project through the RAISE grant process. This project
consists of the widening and rehabilitating of both streets and constructing sidewalks and
drainage to provide a connection for students between the new Legacy High School and
the Career Education Center (CEC). When the new school is completed, these 2 sections
of city streets are expected to see an exponential increase in daily vehicular traffic.
The total anticipated cost of this project is $11,550,000. USDOT's RAISE Grant would
provide 80% or $9,240,000. The City will be obligated to provide a 20% local match of
$2,310,000 if the grant is approved. Project selection will be announced on August 12,
2022. If selected the RAISE grant funds must be obligated by September 30, 2026 and
expended by September 30, 2031.

ITEM/SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing the City Manager to award bid and contract
for the 2022 Sewer Budget Utility Improvement Project Phase 1 to
Insituform Technologies, LLC. in the amount of $485,490.25.
INITIATING DEPT: Public Works / Engineering
STRATEGIC GOAL: Provide Adequate Infrastructure
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: Complete Signature Public Improvements
COMMENTARY: On April 22, 2022 a proposal was received for the 2022 Sewer Budget
Utility Improvement Project Phase 1. This project will rehabilitate existing sanitary sewer
line segments near Fairway Blvd, Brookdale Dr., Kingston Dr., and Cypress Ave. The
collection system in these areas is old vitrified clay pipe and has become a continuous
maintenance problem. The collection system in these areas runs through apartment
complexes making it very inaccessible and thus does not lend itself toward conventional
dig and replace rehab processes. Therefore, the rehabilitation work will employ the
trenchless technology of cured in place piping (CIPP).
The proposal for the project was prepared by Insituform Technologies, LLC., which is a
sewer rehabilitation company who has been selected through a competitive bidding
process by the outside agency, Buy Board.
The proposal received for this project is as follows:
Company Amount
Insituform Technologies, LLC. — Corinth, TX $ 485,490.25
Construction of the project should require approximately one hundred sixty (160)
consecutive days to complete.
Insituform Technologies, LLC. has completed similar projects for the City and therefore
staff recommends award of the contract to Insituform Technologies, LLC. in the amount
of $485,490.25, based on unit price quantities.

the existing dispatch voice recorder from Vistacom in the amount of
$133,429.

COMMENTARY: The 2021-22 Budget included $100,000 to replace and upgrade the

and had an expected life cycle of 5 years. This is a critical piece of equipment as it records
the calls to our 911 Dispatch Center, the front desk at the Police Department, and the
Public Safety voice radio system.
Staff has been satisfied with our current system and recommend moving forward with the
upgraded version. Vistacom is a reseller for this product and is on the Texas Department
of Information Resources (DIR) contract.
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to sign all documents
necessary to purchase Eventide Voice Recorder Upgrade to replace the existing dispatch
voice recorder from Vistacom in the amount of$133,429.
