Agenda Item No.4.
Paul Menzies, Assistant City Manager, gave a presentation and discussed the history of
the Downtown (Re) Zoning Initiative that began in 2017, and delays in the process due to
the pandemic.
Terry Floyd, Director of Development Services, discussed the ten public input meetings
held December 9, 2021 , through August 16, 2022, to discuss the zoning changes in the
downtown area, and the efforts made to contact all parties involved through social media,
postcards, and press releases. There is a dedicated page on the city's website for the
process that has been used to share information, and messages were sent out via the
City's notify me application. Mr. Floyd discussed the recommended text changes to the
Code of Ordinances, Appendix B: Zoning, differences from the recommendations in the
Freese and Nichols report, the updated property use tables, and recognized Karen
Montgomery-Gagne for her work on this project.
Councilor Whiteley asked about the boundaries of each zone since the maps are not
clear, and some of the boundaries do not follow streets or alleys or they fall in the middle
of a block. He is in favor, but concerned about redefining boundaries to follow streets
and possible future unintended consequences due to the current boundaries.
Mr. Menzies stated that most of the boundaries of the city wide zoning from 1985 were
probably drawn to make current businesses compliant. He stated there was not much
public input during the process to adjust the boundaries, and noted that this plan is not
permanent and Council has the ability to adjust and rezone property.
Councilor Whiteley stated that he understands this recommendation came from the
Planning and Zoning Commission and it was not a unanimous vote. His opinion is that
we should clean it up now as opposed to going through rezoning in the future.
Councilor Nelson asked for a copy of the downtown zoning tables and asked about
businesses with drive-thru windows. Mr. Floyd discussed items considered when
allowing drive-thru windows at a business.
There were no comments from the public.
Mayor Santellana closed the public hearing at 9:09 a.m.

Agenda Item No.4.
Item 7(a)i — Public Hearing on the Fiscal Year 2023 Proposed Operating Budget
9:23 a.m.
Mayor Santellana opened the public hearing at 9:23 a.m.
Jessica Williams, Director of Finance/CFO, discussed the proposed 2022-2023 fiscal year
budget. She discussed the 19.63% increase over the prior year budget, and how some
of the increase is due to use of fund balance and transfers between funds for one-time
expenditures. When one-time expenditures are removed, the increase is 10.52% over
the prior year.
Paul Clark, 2101 Miramar, asked about tax rates and increases in taxes in relation to the
budget and increased revenues.
Mr. Leiker discussed the proposed reduced tax rate, and the 3.5% cap in property tax
revenues. At the proposed tax rate, the City will not meet the 3.5% revenue cap. He
stated that the City is not bringing in 19.4% of additional property taxes, since there are
other sources of revenue. Mr. Leiker discussed appraisal values versus tax rates; the
10% increase cap on appraisal values; how these items together determine the amount
of taxes paid; various property tax exemptions; and stated that estimates of tax
calculations are sent out by the Appraisal District. There was brief discussion regarding
the difference between additional property tax revenues versus total revenues in the
budget, and changes due to SB 2. Ms. Williams shared a slide that showed each revenue
source and the percent increase over last year.
Mayor Santellana closed the public hearing at 9:34 a.m.

Moved by Councilor Brewer to approve Resolution 94-2022.
Motion seconded by Councilor Smith.
Ms. Williams discussed changes due to SB 2, the current tax rate, the no-new revenue
rate, the voter approval rate, and the recommended tax rate of $0.694321, which is an
8.7% decrease from last year's tax rate and below the voter approval rate.
Mr. Leiker discussed how citizens could calculate their city taxes by multiplying the
proposed rate per$100 of property value, possible exemptions, and city services provided
that are supported by property taxes.
Moved by Councilor Browning to amend the main motion to include the proposed tax rate
of $0.694321 .

Item 8a— Staff Report— Update of exhibits and holdings of the former Wichita Falls
Railroad Museum (Paul Menzies, Assistant City Manager, and Madeleine Calcote-
Garcia, Executive Director, Museum of North Texas History)
10:05 a.m.
Mr. Menzies discussed the past two years regarding the non-profit group that previously
ran the Railroad Museum, their disbandment, and the end of their lease with the City.
The Museum of North Texas History completed a complete inventory of all holdings and
they are considering selling part of the fleet to help fund other needs.
Ms. Calcote-Garcia discussed the proposal and accomplishments including the inventory
of over 100 different objects. She recommended that the City transfer approximately 50%
of the collection from outside the stock cars to the Museum of North Texas History, and
discussed items in poor condition and items too large to store. The remainder of the
collection could be sold or donated to another museum, organization, or collector. Ms.
Calcote-Garcia stated that she has a list of interested parties.
Due to historical significance they recommend keeping the 304 Fort Worth and Denver
Engine, Burlington Route Coal Tender, one of the United States Postal Service cars, one
of the silver MKT Bunk Cars, the Trolley Car, the black and yellow hand car, the Blue
Pullman car, and one or both of the cabooses. They recommend that the City restore the
exterior of the engines and stock they are keeping and they should be restored by
someone with expertise and experience. They recommend a roof covering and fences
around the remaining cars, City maintenance of the grounds, and the addition of
interpretative signage. The vision for this area is to be accessible to the public and
become a highlight of Wichita Falls. Ms. Calcote-Garcia discussed the cars suggested for
removal from the collection due to poor condition or redundancy. She recommended the
first step of coming to an agreement to transfer the smaller items, and using funds from
cars sold, grants, and individual donations to fund the restoration process.
Staff will continue to work with the Museum of North Texas History to implement the
recommendations if that is what the Council desires.
Item 8b —Announcements concerning items of community interest from members
of the City Council. No action will be taken or discussed.
10:30 a.m.
Councilor Brewer asked Lou Kreidler to explain the ribbon cutting for the flashing beacon

upgrade existing server and network equipment for the City. These funds are used to
replace aging and unsupported network and server equipment every fiscal year.
A contract with Presidio Networked Solutions Group, LLC was executed to assist in
performing a network security assessment. The results of the assessment recommended
the installation of additional network equipment and services to properly update, secure,
and monitor the City's network. The equipment and service recommendations use
industry standard practices and hardware from Cisco Systems, Inc. The licenses carry a
3-year warranty and it is anticipated the hardware will have a 5-year life cycle. Presidio
Networked Solutions Group, LLC is a reseller for the Cisco Systems, Inc. equipment and
associated licenses on the Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR) purchasing
contract.
Staff recommends approval of the resolution.

Regular Agenda Item
III. Action Item: Design Review — 802 Ohio Avenue (Units C & D) — Zales/WVard Stanley
Building (Depot Square Historic District)
Request design review approval for renovation/remodel with replacement exterior
doors/emergency lighting
Page 1 of 9
Agenda Item No.6.a
Landmark Commission 2 June 28, 2022
Ms. Gagne presented the case and stated staff received the design review application from
Bundy, Young, Sims, & Potter Architects (BYSP) on behalf of the owners, Josh & Amber
Schacter for a renovation/remodel to a structure in the Depot Square Historic District for a
downtown orthopedic clinic.
The subject property is located on the corner of 8th and Ohio Avenue was purchased from
Downtown Wichita Falls Development Inc. (DWFD, Inc.) The building consists of 4 units,
A, B, C & D, however, the petition is only for units C & D that will become the orthopedic
clinic. The two units had not officially been finished out. This will be an entire
renovation/remodel, however, what is impactful to character and historical design are the
exterior entry doors and code required emergency egress lighting. The other alterations will
be interior or not visible from the public right-of-way.
Historic photos from 1906 show the Wichita Hardware Co., which was suite C & D. Ms.
Gagne stated the structure has experienced numerous periods of alterations with the most
significant period being in 1915 for the National Bank of Commerce which later became
City National Bank, now located on 8th and Scott Street. A photo from 1995 show the art
deco architectural influences when the structure was DeFoors Pawn Shop. In these photos
the windows and transoms can be seen boarded up and covered. An inventory photo from
2014 just prior to sale of the property to DWFD, Inc. show the detailed Masonic symbols
located on the roof top corner and above the front door which were added during building
renovation in 1909/10 by the Knights of Pythias that conferenced on the second floor of the
Zales Building.
An additional inventory photo from 2016 during the restoration/rehab (historic tax credits)
project under ownership of DWFD, Inc., show what was under the removed layers of wood
and the door for unit C. During that restoration/rehab, a design review case was approved
by the Commission for wooden replacement doors, however, they were not the industrial,
commercial grade and started delaminating while the project was still being renovated. An
approval was given to replace the doors in units A-D with an alternative fiberglass material
door with wood grain finish. At that time, the doors in unit A (Karat Bar), unit B (Morris
Supper Club) and the doors on units C & D where replaced.
The mural on the south facade was also previously approved by the Commission. The
space west of the rear wall is owned by Casa Manana, therefore any change would be
limited to upgrades to mechanical equipment attached to the building due to limited space.
From a design perspective, there is also limited visibility from the alley.
Ms. Gagne advised this review was pending preliminary comments from the Texas
Historical Commission (THC) last month and was not able to be presented. The state has
deemed this project not a new proposal, rather a continuing historic tax credit, part II for
review. THC and the National Park Service (NPS) representatives have advised their only
preference is to allow a 3/ lite, clear glass door, stating a fiberglass door was acceptable
as long as overall door design remained simple, has a smooth finish and is painted. The
design should be similar to what is currently in place or raise the glass to meet the
bulkheads in display windows. Ms. Gagne displayed two options that followed the
guidelines THC and NPS had given. Option A was recommended by architects, staff and
Page 2 of 9
Agenda Item No.6.a
Landmark Commission 3 June 28,2022
preliminarily by THC/NPS and shows a 3/4 glass panel door. Option B was also shown as
a full glass panel door,
Ms. Gagne introduced and turned the floor over to BYSP Architects, Steve Wood and Matt
West for further discussion. Mr. Wood stated this project will fully complete renovation of
the Zales Building. The orthopedic clinic will consist of 8 exam rooms, a casting room, x-
ray room, procedure and treatment rooms. Ms. Derr stated the proposal requested was for
exterior doors and emergency lighting but, the emergency lighting had not been discussed
nor were there photos she asked what that would look like. Mr. Wood advised the
emergency lighting would replicate the small, single fixture that was currently above unit
B's door. Ms. Ponder-Smith asked if the new doors would take up the transom area, Mr.
Wood advised they would not. Ms. Medellin asked why the proposal was to change to a %
glass panel door. Mr. Wood advised the purpose was to try and replicate what was
originally on the structure and that was also following the advice from THC/NPS
representatives. Ms. Medellin stated the request mentioned replacing 4 or 5 doors for the
building but the presentation only mentioned replacing each door on units C and D. Mr.
Wood advised the other doors on units A and B would be replaced to match units C and D
at a later date.
Mr. Dickinson made a motion to approve the request for new doors. Ms. Gagne advised
Mr. Dickinson would need to clarify which option he was approving. Mr. Dickinson
amended his motion and stated he would approve the door replacements using option A.
Mr. Lee seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Ms. Graham made a
motion to approve the emergency exit lighting fixture as presented, Ms. Ponder-Smith
seconded the motion that passed unanimously 8-0.
IV. Action Item: Design Review — 2120 Speedway Avenue (Landmark/RTHL): Request for
Installation of ADA Compliant Ramp and Steps with a New Door/Sidelight for the Side
(East) Entrance.
Ms. Gagne stated the Commission had reviewed numerous revisions over many years for
The Woman's Forum, now known as The Forum located at the convergence of Speedway
Avenue, Martin Boulevard and Harrison Street in the Country Club area.
Ms. Gagne advised in 1980 The Forum was designated as a Recorded Texas Historic
Landmark (RTHL) and in 1984 became the City of Wichita Falls' 5th landmark site. Ms.
Gagne stated the proposal involved alterations to the east façade, 1960 addition to allow
for ADA compliance that would include a new concrete ramp, concrete entry steps, landings
and replace the aluminum double doors with one single, ADA compliant door with a side
lite.
The Forum was constructed in 1927 on land donated through the organization of Hamilton,
Martin Investment Company. The structure's style is Spanish Colonial Revival with strong
Mediterranean influences. There were major additions in 1954, 1956 with 1960 being the
last major addition of the east wing.
Inventory photos from 2019 show the exterior virtually unchanged. A current photo (June
2022) shows a detailed view of the previously approved (2010) main entrance doors. Ms.
Gagne advised the same door design and materials are proposed for the new ADA
Page 3 of 9
Agenda Item No.6.a
Landmark Commission 4 June 28, 2022
compliant entry door/sidelite on the east entrance. A detailed, existing site plan shown
highlighted the east side entrance accessible from the east parking lot and noted the limited
visibility from Speedway Avenue and Harrison Street. Ms. Gagne stated the project was
currently under review by the THC, however, their preliminary review found no immediate
concerns with the alterations to the state landmark.
Ms. Gagne noted the Wichita Falls Design Review Guidelines state under Architectural
Barriers and Accessibility (pg 50) for construction of ADA elements since they have the
potential to impact character defining features, buildings may qualify for variances from the
Texas Accessibility Standards Commission (TAS). Staff reminded the Commission of the
precedent setting case involving the Kell House Museum's former accessibility standards
situation where essentially a federal judge stated no matter what was presented to him the
courts would require ADA compliance with current standards for building access. Rather
than attempting an appeal via TAS, The Forum was being proactive in addressing ADA
compliance.
Ms. Gagne advised as previously stated, the inventory photos of the current doors shown
are not historically original to the structure as they were constructed with the 1960 addition.
However, the addition actually meets the minimum 50-year criteria and could be considered
historic. Similar doors being proposed were previously approved in 2010 and meet design
guideline specifications. Ms. Gagne turned the floor over to BYSP Architects, Steve Wood
and Matt West. Mr. Wood stated they are making the facility accessible to ail people while
disrupting as little as possible. Ms. Ponder-Smith asked if the ramp would block any of the
entry way. Mr. Wood advised it would stop before blocking the entry way.
Ms. Ponder-Smith made a motion to allow the requested ADA improvements at 2120
Speedway (The Forum), which included concrete ADA compliant ramp, landings, railings,
new steps along with replacement of existing double entry doors for a single ADA compliant
door with a single sidelite at the covered, east entrance. All modifications are subject to
THC guideline compliance with Recorded Texas Historic Landmark (RTHL) regulations.
Ms. McKown seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously 8-0.
V. Action Item: Design Review— 1503 Grant Street (West Floral Heights HD): Request for
various exterior alterations:
1. Roof— Replace composition shingles with alternate materials: standing seam metal
(stop work order issued)
2. Window Replacement— 31 windows (aluminum)
3. Front Door— Repair/Restore
4. Privacy Fencing — Replace
5. Upper Story Window Awnings — Remove
6. Rear Garage — Demolish
7. Rear Carport— Relocate
8. Painting & Interior Remodel
Ms. Graham made a motion to vote on all items separately. Ms. Ponder-Smith seconded the
motion with it passing unanimously.
Ms. Gagne stated the subject property was in the middle of the West Floral Heights Historic
District, located between Avenues E and F and considered a contributing structure. An
Page 4 of 9
Agenda Item No.6.a
Landmark Commission 5 June 28,2022
inventory photo was displayed from 2004 during preparation for the district designation that
occurred in January 2005. This Prairie Style home was constructed circa 1923 with some of
the key features being a low-pitched, hipped roof; wide, overhanging eaves (enclosed) and
pyramidal roof wing at the front left. The subject property has a 2-story frame with 1-story,
flat roof entry porch now supported by decorative iron with railing along the roof that is not
original to the home. Also shown are multiple. multi-paned, 6 over 1 windows. The home
has an asymmetrical facade with the original details obscured by aluminum siding. Shutters
on windows and Porte co-cohere with a room above are not original and were later additions.
Even with all the alterations the property is still a contributing structure to the district.
Ms. Gagne displayed inventory photos from 2013 showing the property virtually unchanged.
Current photos show significant change, most noticeable was the removal of the overgrown
vegetation. The view from the rear shows the patio cover that was present in 2019 photos is
no longer there, as well as the unapproved, partially installed metal roof.
1. Roof
The weekend of May 7/8 staff received information from residents that work was being
done to the exterior of the home. In cooperation with Building Inspection a stop work
order was issued May 9th, 2022 for roofing work being done without permits and
without Landmark approval. The owner, Mr. Jeremy Daniels requested approval to
continue with alternate roofing materials rather than replacing with composition
shingles. Ms. Gagne stated that allowing a standing seam, metal roof in the West
Floral Heights Historic District would set a precedent and impact the architectural and
historic character of the house along with the entire district. Previously, the
Commission has approved metal shingles that replicate the profile of slate and/or tile
roofing materials as alternate roofing materials, however, those have only been
approved for secondary structures and never for a primary structure. Photos displayed
clearly show the difference in roofing materials and the missing patio cover. The non-
approved metal roofing material is different in finish, profile, appearance and scale
and does not adhere to design guideline standards for roofing (Wichita Falls Design
Review Guidelines, pg 53).
Ms. Gagne did advise the Commission that Mr. Daniels stopped all work on the
building upon receiving the stop work order and has not continued work while awaiting
the Commission's review and determination. Ms. Gagne advised the owner, Mr.
Daniels, was present and available for questions. Much discussion ensued among the
Commission, homeowner and staff regarding the roof, Ms. Medellin made a motion
to deny the standing seam metal roof as presented as an alternate roofing material
for 1503 Grant and recommended replacement with an in-kind roof that was similar in
materials, scale, profile and appearance to ensure compliance with both the Wichita
Falls Design Guidelines (Sec. 4-3a/d-f) and the Dept. of Interior - Secretary's
Standards for Rehabilitation. Ms. Ponder-Smith seconded the motion. The motion for
a standing seam metal roof was unanimously denied 7-1, with Mr. Lee voting in
opposition of the denial.
2. Windows
Ms. Gagne stated Mr. Daniels worked with staff to determine if he could repair the
windows instead of replacing all 31 windows. After researching and talking with
professionals it was determined restoring the windows would not be an option and
Page 5 of 9
Agenda Item No.6.a
Landmark Commission 6 June 28, 2022
would have to replace them. Mr. Daniels is proposing to replace all 31 windows with
an aluminum window that will keep the same, 6 over 1 pattern for 28 windows and 3
over 1 pattern for 3 windows. The windows being proposed meet design guideline
standards. Mr. Lee made a motion to approve replacement of 31 windows as
presented for 1503 Grant with aluminum materials and having interior/exterior
mullions based on the Wichita Falls Design Guidelines (Sec. 4-6d-h)with Ms. Graham
seconding. The motion passed unanimously 8-0.
3. Front Entry Door
Mr. Daniels also requested to repair and restore the extra wide front door to the home.
The door/frame had visible damage from a previous forced entry. It was unknown if
the door was original to the home but it was believed to be based on its size and
beveled glass window inserts. Ms. Graham introduced a motion to approve
restoration/repair of the front entry door believed to be original at 1503 Grant. Ms.
Ponder-Smith seconded the motion with it passing unanimously 8-0.
4. Fencing
Ms. Gagne displayed photos showing significant deterioration to the current fence
located on the subject property. Mr. Daniels was proposing to replace the current
dilapidated fencing with a cedar fence with the same design and profile. Ms. Ponder-
Smith made the motion to allow replacement of the deteriorated privacy fence at 1503
Grant with the same style fence (wood/privacy) in the same footprint/location and
outside the front yard setback in accordance with the Wichita Falls Design Guidelines
(Sec. 4 - 11f/g). Ms. McKown seconded the motion and unanimously approved 8-0.
5. Awnings
Photos of the existing awnings (obviously not original to the home) show significant
damage. It is believed the awnings were added sometime in the 1970's. Mr. Daniels
was requesting to remove the awnings and retain the shutters. Ms. Graham made a
motion to allow removal of the non-original upper story window awnings (two) at 1503
Grant as presented. Ms. Ponder-Smith seconded the motion which passed 8-0.
6. Garage — Demo
Mr. Daniels requested demolition of the rear detached garage that was not considered
original and was believed to be constructed in the 1930's or 1940's. The garage was
a hazard as the structure was considered a safety issue. The proposal was to
demolish the garage and keep the carport. Mr. Lee motioned to allow the demolition
of the rear, detached garage based on structural safety concerns and lack of
maintenance at 1503 Grant. Ms. Ponder-Smith seconded the motion. The motioned
passed unanimously 8-0.
7. Carport— Relocate
Ms. Gagne requested Mr. Daniels speak to the Commission on the carport relocation
as she had not received specific details where the owner wished to place in the rear
yard. Mr. Daniels advised he wished to salvage and reuse the carport as it was well
constructed of good materials. The carport will be moved to the current location of the
garage once demolished. The only change Mr. Daniels stated he would make was to
use two metal posts at the rear where attached to the garage. The metal posts will
match the current front two posts. Ms. Ponder-Smith made a motion to allow the non-
Page 6 of 9
Agenda Item No.6.a
Landmark Commission 7 June 28,2022
original rear carport to be relocated in the location of the former detached garage at
1503 Grant. Ms. Graham seconded the motion which passed unanimously 8-0.
Ms. Gagne advised the Commission Mr. Daniels would also be painting and doing interior
remodeling that required no action from the Commission but would trigger building permits.
Staff informed the applicant/owner, Building Inspections would be notified of the
Commission's denial for a replacement metal roof and the remaining design alterations that
were approved.
Vi. Action Item: Design Review— 1712 Buchanan Street (West Floral Heights HD): Request
to install solar panels on roof of rear detached garages:
1 . Structure #1 — 13 panels
2. Structure #2 — 24 panels
Ms. Gagne stated the applicant and their contractor were present at the meeting for questions
after the presentation. The subject property was located in the 1700 block of Buchanan Street
on the corner of Buchanan and Avenue H, at the southern boundary of the West Floral
Heights Historic District. The structure was constructed circa 1925 in the craftsman style and
features a low-pitched cross-gabled roof with wide, unenclosed eaves featuring exposed
rafters and decorative braces under prominent front gables; decorative false, half-timbering
(Tudor influence) and decorative edge boards; a side porte co-chere supported by square
brick columns. There is also a partial-width, wrap around porch with separate front-gable
extended roof supported by square brick columns with a two, rear detached garage buildings.
Inventory photos displayed from 2013 show the property essentially unchanged from its
designation in January of 2005. From the right-of-way on Avenue H the detached garages
can be seen as structure #2's south roof slope faces Avenue H. Fastrac Energy Services is
the company that will be contractor to install the requested solar panels for the owners. Based
on the results of an energy simulation report by Fastrac, the owner was proposing 13 solar
panels to be placed on the eastern facing roof slope of structure #1 and 24 solar panels on
the south facing roof slope of structure#2.
Ms. Gagne advised the Commission, Code Enforcement was currently working with the
owners in regards to the fencing located in the front and exterior side yard. There are not
supposed to be any new (without historic evidence) fences in the front yard in West Floral
Heights HD. Any front yard fence, if situated in the District, must still comply with zoning
regulations of being no more than 4ft tall and only 50% opaque.
Ms. Gagne introduced Mr. Justin Duncan from Fastrac Energy Services for further questions.
Mr. Duncan stated most solar panels are installed on the primary structure, however, with
this being a historic property, they have provided an alternate layout on the secondary
structures as to not damage the home. Fastrac is proposing to install solid black panels rather
than the standard blue for a more esthetically pleasing panel.
Ms. Ponder-Smith asked if the secondary structures framing had been assessed. Mr. Duncan
stated their engineer had stamped all of the plans for the structures. Discussion about
placement of solar panels continued. Ms. Graham pointed out on page 60 of the Wichita
Falls Design Guidelines it stated placement of solar panels was recommended on the
secondary structures and not the primary structure.
Page 7 of 9
Agenda Item No.6.a
Landmark Commission 8 June 28,2022
Ms. Graham made a motion to allow placement of 37 solar panels on two rear, detached
structures at 1712 Buchanan based on compliance with interpretation of the Wichita Falls
Design Guidelines (Sec. 4-9c) recommending placement on outbuildings. Ms. McKown
seconded with the motion passing unanimously 8-0.

1. Call to Order.
Mr. Fidelie called the meeting to order at 3:01 p.m.
2. Report of financial condition (current, past & planned budget & expenditures); and
other administrative actions, including, if necessary, induction of any new board
members.
Mr. Paul Menzies addressed the Board and explained that they have the most recent sales
tax report. He said that the City is up 11% month over month from last year and is running about
10% ahead for the year. There were approximately $6 million of encumbered funds, which
includes all of the existing commitments regarding the hotel conference center project. He asked
the Board to please mark their calendars for next month's meeting on the first Thursday in August
because they will be talking about approving the budget for next year.
Mr. Barham asked why sales tax was down 8% in May when it had been significantly
higher in all the previous months. Mr. Leiker said that staff was not sure yet, but looking at the
trend cities in Texas, it is slowing. He stated that the double-digit growth is tending to slow down.
He explained that he thinks the combination of increasing interest rates, fuel prices, and inflation
has caused people to spend less. It is a little bit of a roller coaster, and it is unclear whether sales

tax will go up or down. He stated that he had not seen sales tax reports for the rest of the state and

4. Public hearing regarding a request from Kirk Laney, dba Picker's Universe L.L.C.,
forLan extension of the approved funding agreement to renovate the existing building
at 1000 Indiana downtown into a mixed-use retail and restaurant establishment.
Mr. Fidelie opened the hearing at 3:05 p.m.
Mr. Menzies addressed the Board to give a brief history of the project. He explained that
the Board and the City Council initially approved funding for this project in the amount of
$133;000 in 2019. Then about six or seven months ago, this Board reapproved it for six months.
The applicant requests an additional six months, and the Board will hear an update on the project.
Mr. Sabian Santistevan with Syd Litteken Architects addressed the Board. He stated that
he is Picker's,Universe's general contractor and project manager and they have encountered some •
supply chain issues that have caused delays. Be explained that they were replacing the ornate tin
ceiling, and in January, they were supposed to receive 1,500 ceiling tiles, 500 pieces of four-foot
cornice, and 2,500 feet of hammered mortar to go into the ceiling system. Those materials,were
not delivered until May 25th. With the installation of the ceiling comes electrical and HVAC, and
the delayed deliveries pushed everything involved back. Another delay occurred with the
partitioned walls. This installation was to start on February 14th. However, in May, they
discovered that the entire company had moved to Mexico,and they have had no contact with them
since late January. They are currently gathering new estimates from other companies. He stated
that the bid they originally received for the kitchen flooring in 2019 has now doubled, and the
owner would like to go with something less expensive.
Mr. Santistevan continued to discuss the delays and addressed the Board regarding issues
with the restaurant equipment. Before finalizing their order with Wichita Restaurant Supply,
Jimmy Hay passed away. At the time of his passing, they did not know where they were going
with the company. So they gave the kitchen equipment back and a few leads on places to go. The
company, Wichita Restaurant Supply, has now contacted Pickers Universe and would like them
to return and reorder with them. However, a news article published said, "the owner of Wichita
Restaurant Supply died without delivering the product." Mr. Santistevan said that was not what
WF4BSTC Minutes Page 2 of 6
07 07 2022
Page 2 of 6
Agenda Item No.6.b
happened.They never finalized their order,and now Wichita Restaurant Supply has come forward
and expressed that they are ready to do business again. He said they would return to Wichita
Restaurant Supply to rebid the order.
These delays caused progress to be pushed back, which is the reason they are asking for
an additional six months.They are about to finalize the sprinkler system,on which the 4B funding
must be used. However,because of how the agreement reads, the establishment must be issued a
certificate of occupancy, so an additional six months is needed to finish and get the C.D.
Mr.Barham thanked Mr. Santistevan for attending the meeting and updating the Board on
the project. He also stated that he appreciated that Mr. Santistevan clarified the information about
Wichita Restaurant Supply and the equipment supplied to the project. Mr. Barham said he spoke
with the company, and everything in the original contract had been installed or delivered. Mr.
Santistevan explained that the only purchase finalized at that time was the exhaust hood, which
had been delivered and installed. He stated that the problem with the newspaper comment was
that it was deceiving. He said he wanted to make sure everyone knew what happened.
Mr.Fidelie asked if theiloard agrees to another six months,how confident is the contractor
that it will get done within that time frame? He stated that he did not want another extension
request in five months. Mr. Santisteven noted that the third floor was their problem,and they have
the flooring for the kitchen. He stated that the rest of the flooring is hardwood, and it is in the last
stage of being finalized.The ceramic tile that will be installed in the kitchen,hallway,and upstairs
restroom has been delivered and is on site. Installation of the tile is supposed to begin next week.
All the ceiling tiles are installed on every floor except the second-floor bar, and they lack 20 feet
to be finished.Then,the crown molding and painting will be the last step.They are on the downhill
stretch and are about to finish. Mr. Fidelie stated that if six months gives a little cushion, what
would he anticipate the actual time to complete?Mr. Santisteven said they are looking at probably
three months.
Mr. Fidelie closed the hearing at 3:12 p.m.
3. Public hearing regarding a funding request from Downtown Wichita Falls
Development, Inc. for various streetscape improvements downtown.
Mr. Fidelie opened the hearing at.3:13 p.m.
Ms. Jana Schmader addressed the Board, presented a PowerPoint presentation and
explained that her funding request package'contained community branding items and public
improvement projects. She stated that the first item DWFD would like to add is an additional 30
wrought iron benches to the downtown area. DWFD has already placed 22 benches in the area.
She stated that the items brought before the Board are in line with their Streetscapes Plan and will
complement some of the items already in place and some of the new items that have been approved
by city council,such as the street lamps and light poles.DWFD polled downtown property owners
to see if they would like benches outside their property, and the overwhelming response.,was that
they would Iike to see this. She showed the proposed locations of bench placements on a map but
,explained that they would work with property management to go through the encroachment
process.
The next item Ms. Schmader discussed was trash cans. She stated that DWFD had placed
17 trash cans in the downtown area,and they are requesting funding to add 14 more.As pedestrian
traffic increases downtown, they would like to ensure the streets and sidewalks are as clean as
possible. She said DWFD contracts with Work Services Corporation and pays for trash removal
services. So it will not cost taxpayers any additional money. DWFD will take on the maintenance

Page 3 of 6
Agenda Item No.6.b
contract with the extra trash cans. The trash cans get emptied three times a week unless they call
them after a crowded night.
The third item Ms. Schmader presented to the Board was pole banners. She stated that this
item had been on DWFD's marketing collateral list since 2017, when it went through the massive
rebranding of the downtown logo. DWFD is looking at placing the banners along Scott Street,
and having theih become more concentrated in the core area. They will also be located close to
the hotel and conference center. The banners will all have general branding to increase their
longevity. They will include DWFD taglines and logos to stay up year-round. DWFD would like
to purchase 70 banners to cover the proposed locations. These locations would give a good
gateway corridor and welcome into the heart of downtown. The placement has already been
approved by John Burris, Director of AT&T, and that department will help us install them.
The fourth item presented to the Board was pet stations. The number one target in the
economic development strategy is the addition of residences in downtown. There are 170
residential units to be added in the next couple of years., and pets typically come with residences.
Currently,there is one pet station in Park Central,and DWFD would like to add another,one since
that is the largest greenspace downtown. Also, they would like to add one to Bud Daniel Park.
They are all close in proximity to where people walk their pets. The placement of additional pet
stations would go one step further to ensure the streets and greenspaces are kept clean.
Ms. Schmader estimated the total project cost would be $40,000, and the Board of
Directors has authorized DWFD to invest the first$5,000 and agrees to all the maintenance costs.
In total, the request to 4B is for 116 items for $35,000. If approved by the Board, this project
would go to Council on July 19th' and the items should be installed by Hotter'n Hell 100 this year.
Mr. Schreiber asked if the banners would all look the same or if there would be some
variances. Ms. Schmader stated that the whole branding packet has the same colors, but there
would be different taglines. The wording may be different, but;the overall feel will be the same.
Mr. Schreiber then asked if the banners at the outermost locations would say, "Welcome to
Downtown." Ms. Schmader noted that they could look at that, which is why they will be a little
more spaced out on the north and south ends and become more concentrated in the core area. She
said they were indeed open to suggestions from the public or otherwise.
Mr. Fidelie closed the public hearing at 3:19 p.m.
4. Staff report/update on the corporation-owned Lindemann Parking Garage
downtown.
Mr. Menzies addressed the Board and reminded them that the WF4BSTC owns and
operates the Lindeman Parking Garage,and the Board does budget for its maintenance. There are
a couple of lease agreements with folks that use it regularly, and it is open for downtown events.
Mr. Menzies explained that Ms. Hoffman would update the Board on some recent'activities with
the facility. It has been challenging to keep the facility clean of graffiti, and many vandals are
entering the garage and causing lots of damage. Mr. Menzies stated that the City will gate off the
7`h Street entrance, then give remotes to current lessees and DWFD to allow them access in and
out of the garage.
Ms.Hoffman addressed the Board and explained that it had been quite an experience trying
ito maintain and take care of the garage. Ms. Hoffman displayed a photo of the garage with graffiti
on the walls. She explained that it had been abated four previous times. She received a quote to
have it abated for the fifth time, and it was by far the most expensive, at $1,500. Before the
company was able to get to,the garage to abate and sandblast it, it had been tagged four more
WF4BSTC Minutes Page 4 of 6
07 07 2022
Page 4 of 6
Agenda Item No.6.b
times, so it will cost significantly more to have abated. Ms. Hoffman displayed additional photos
of the vandalized garage, explaining that it had been vandalized on every floor and every wall.
Other problems are vagrants breaking into and camping, cooking in the stairwells, and leaving
trash behind. It must be cleaned every week because it stinks so badly. Ms. Hoffman explained
that city staff is proposing to gate off the garage. She presented a quote obtained for a square,
tubular, sliding gate operated by remote. The bid includes ten gate remotes, allowing staff to give
remotes to the current lessees, building maintenance, and DWFD to open it for public events.
Property Management would still have additional remotes for any other lessees and for staff to
enter the garage daily to check it out. The gate will be seven feet tall, so it will be impossible for.
anyone to climb over to-get in.No one should be able to get into the garage without a remote.Ms.
Hoffman stated that there is an opening that is ten feet high that someone could enter. If that starts
happening, cyclone fencing could easily be added if necessary.
Mr. Menzies reminded the Board that it has a performance agreement with a downtown
property owner in which this garage may transfer back into private ownership within the next two
years. Mr. Menzies said it was pertinent to maintain and keep it in good shape. Ms. Hoffman
restated that over$3,000 has already been spent on the abatement,of the graffiti alone. It will cost
another $3,000 to $4,000 to have it abated again. Also, an additional $3,600 has been spent on
replacing and repairing light fixtures.
Mr. Barham,asked if Ms. Hoffman had a photo of the Indiana side of the garage. Ms.
Hoffman stated that she did not. Mr. Schreiber directed everyone's attention to the first photo
shown. Ms. Hoffman pointed out that on the 7th Street side and the alley side, it has a gate and fi
cyclone fencing around.the corner on the Indiana side.
Mr. Fidelie reaffirmed with Mr. Menzies that the $14,000 or $15,000 had already been
budgeted. Mr. Menzies stated that $25,000 is budgeted annually for this maintenance, and this
presentation is just an update on what is happening.
Mr. Barham told Ms:Hoffman to go ahead and fence the Indiana side that had no fencing.
He said it would be better to be proactive than reactive.
Mr. Fidelie asked what the turnaround time on the gate would be.Ms.Hoffman stated that
that staff was already in the process and just needed a requisition order which will be done next
week. It would probably take a couple of months.
Mr.Jurecek clarified that the first floor is fenced all the way around the building.However,
the second floor on the Indiana side is not fenced.
Mr. Fidelie dismissed the idea that an on-duty police officer would be able to sit there all
night, every night, to keep an eye on things. Ms. Hoffman stated that there is an officer up there
nightly. She also noted that city staff goes down to the garage once a day,and a code enforcement
officer goes down there as well, but no one has been able to catch anyone. Mr. Fidelie asked if
the lights stay on overnight. Ms. Hoffman said they do and people go in there and destroy the
lights.
7. ` Executive Session.
Mr. Fidelie adjourned the meeting into executive session at 3:30 p.m. pursuant to Texas
Government Code section 551.087. He announced the meeting back into regular session at 4:04,
p.m. The subjects posted in the Notice of Meeting were deliberated,and no votes or further action

VIII. REGULAR AGENDA
1. Case C 22-14—2101 Buchanan Street:
Consider taking action on a conditional use to allow for a convenience
store in a Light Commercial (LC) zoning district.
Applicant/Owner: Omer Farooq
Mr. Doug McCulloch made a motion to approve the case. Mr. Martin seconded the
motion. Mr. Cedric Hu presented the case and stated the applicant, Mr. Omer
Farooq had submitted a conditional use application to staff requesting to convert a
previous laundry mat, into a convenience store. The subject property is located in a
Limited Commercial (LC) district where convenience stores are conditionally
allowed, and that is why staff is bringing the proposal before the Commission today.
Mr. Hu advised 2101 Buchanan Street was located in the central area of Wichita
Falls, west of the Kemp Boulevard and Avenue K intersection. To the south of the
subject property were residential uses down Kemp Boulevard and to the north is
Compassion Church along with its parking lot. To the west and east are various
retail and office uses along Kemp Boulevard located in the Commercial Corridor
(CC) zoning district.
Page 2 of 6
Agenda Item No.6.c
Planning and Zoning 3 July 13, 2022
Mr. Hu stated the applicant was proposing to convert the structure, built in 1984,
from a previously used laundry mat to an approximately 2,000 sf. convenience
store. With this change of use from a service use to retail, the off-street parking
requirements will change from 1 parking stall per 300 sf. to 1 parking stall per 200
sf. The current parking layout satisfies the new requirements.
The subject property is within the Limited Commercial (LC) zoning district with
various uses surrounding, including those in the Commercial Corridor (CC) zoning
district, composed of mostly office and retail uses to the east. Residential uses
located to the south of the subject property are in a Single Family-2 (SF-2) zoning
district. To the north are various parking lots in the Limited Commercial (LC) zoning
district with residences further north in the Single Family-2 (SF-2) zoning district. To
the west are construction and warehouse uses located included in the Limited
Commercial (LC) zoning district.
Mr. Hu advised staff sent notices to 14 property owners and received back a total of
2 responses, both in opposition of this petition. After consideration of the proposed
use, staff recommended approval of this Conditional Use Permit request for 2101
Buchanan 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. Any additional site improvements, non-conforming site elements, and
developmental requirements as required by the Health, Building, or
Zoning Codes will be subject to the site plan review/re-occupancy
process.
3. Comply with all special conditions unique to the Limited Commercial (LC)
zoning district to include limitations of hours of operation and signage.
4. Prior to initiating operations all developmental requirements, conditions,
permits and licensing shall be reviewed, approved, constructed and
inspected.
5. No illuminated signage, either by internal or external lighting, will be
allowed on the southwestern property line, adjacent to the residences.
Chairman Cook asked if the applicant was present and wished to make a
presentation. The applicant, was not present for Commission questions. Mr. Cook
asked if there were any comments from the public. With no comments, Chairman
Cook closed the public comments and opened the floor for the Commission. Mr.
Noros Martin asked if fuel and/or diesel would be sold at the convenience store, to
which Mr. Hu advised there would not be. Mr. Terry Floyd advised the Commission
since the applicant was not present, it was at the Commission's discretion to table
the case. With no other questions Chairman Cook called for a vote. The motion
passed unanimously with a vote of 9-0.
2. Case TA 22-01 — Text Amendment— Downtown Zoning Realignment:
Public hearing to consider a proposed text and boundary amendment to
the Wichita Falls Code of Ordinances, Appendix B: Zoninq revising,
consolidating and incorporating sections addressing: definitions,
Page 3 of 6
Agenda Item No.6.c
Planning and Zoning 4 July 13, 2022
downtown zoning district boundaries, creation of special downtown zoning
districts, downtown non-conforming use limitation and appeal process,
development regulations (setbacks) and incorporating a downtown zoning
use table; and Land Use Plan amendment to consolidate use categories in
Greater Downtown.
Applicant: City of Wichita Falls
Chairman Cook opened the public hearing at 2:07 pm concerning case TA 22-01.
Ms. Karen Gagne presented the amendment and discussed the previous work
session held at last month's Planning Zoning meeting, June 8th, 2022. Ms. Gagne
stated City Council initiated a Strategic Plan process in 2016, working with an
organizational management firm to develop a long-term plan. The re-development
of Downtown Wichita Falls emerged as one of the top goals. September 2018, the
City Council adopted the Downtown Strategic Plan Recommendations with the
Downtown Zoning Diagnostic Report a key element.
Ms. Gagne gave a brief summary of Downtown Strategic Plan progress to date,
including the numerous Downtown Zoning Realignment public meetings held and
other opportunities for both downtown property owners and the general public to
comment or attend to provide input.
Again, Ms. Gagne discussed the proposed revisions to the Greater Downtown area
in which the details and reasoning for the revisions given at the previous work
session. The Downtown Strategic Plan recommendations from the Freese &
Nichols Diagnostic Report, were to realign the downtown areas shown in a map
provided to the Commission in their handouts and displayed for the public on
screen. There was one staff recommendation that was not on the previous working
draft to rezone LaSalle Alley from Light Industrial (LI) to the Central Business
District (CBD). Ms. Gagne advised all 6 property owners were contacted and
discussed what this would mean for their business uses. Out of the 6 property
owners, 5 asked if they could be rezoned to the Central Business District (CBD) as
their uses align more closely with commercial rather than the railroad and industrial
and 1 asked to remain Light Industrial (LI).
Ms. Gagne reintroduced the Downtown Zoning Use Table for review of uses which
would and would not be appropriate, generally or without certain restrictions
throughout a zoning district but which, if controlled as to the number, area, location
or relation to the neighborhood, would promote the health, safety, and welfare of
the community. Non-conforming uses were also discussed as well as the option for
appeal and/or request extending a non-conforming use status.
Ms. Gagne reviewed the development standards with the Commission and the
recommended reduced setbacks for the Greater Downtown area proposed to help
provide greater flexibility for future development include; front, interior side and
exterior side setbacks.
Page 4 of 6
Agenda Item No.6.c
Planning and Zoning 5 July 13, 2022
Additionally, Ms. Gagne reviewed the definitions section that from a land use
perspective, simplify text in the ordinance; establish the precise meaning of a word
or phrase, eliminates ambiguity; and transforms technical terms into
understandable terminology. Among those Ms. Gagne advised of the staff
recommended revisions to:
• Incorporate new definition section (Sec. 2100) for uses in Downtown Zoning Use
Table;
• Clarify terms to ensure compliance with federal case law and disability
standards;
• Terms for Removal (Sec. 2000):
o Adult Daycare Facility, Foster Care Facility, Group Homes, Halfway
House, Personal Care Home and Residential Care Facility
• Updated Terms:
o Household Care Facility and Structured Sober Living Facility
A review of the existing Downtown Land Use Plan was given along with a
corresponding map showing the existing categories and the recommended
revisions that were to consolidate the DNT-Downtown and PAR-Parks and Open
Spaces.
The last thing Ms. Gagne outlined were the next steps in the projected timeline.
After this meeting, the City Council would be given an update at the July 19th, 2022
meeting and then on the agenda for the August 16th, 2022 meeting for a public
hearing & ordinance consideration. Mr. Terry Floyd reminded the Commission this
was initiated by City Council and approved in 2019.
Chairman Cook asked if there was anyone from the public that would like to
comment. With no comments, Mr. Cook closed the public hearing at 2:31 pm and
asked for a motion to open the item for discussion. Mr. Steve Wood made the
motion with Mr. Martin seconding.
There was much discussion among the Commission with questions being asked
and answered by staff. Mr. Wood made a motion to move forward, followed by
more discussion along with questions and answers. The discussion then moved to
what options the Commission had and took council with legal staff at which time Mr.
Wood called to vote on the motion on the table. Chairman Cook called for a vote to
recommend the proposed text and boundary amendment to the Wichita Falls Code
of Ordinances. Appendix B: Zoning revising, consolidating and incorporatina
sections addressing: definitions, downtown zoning district boundaries, creation of
special downtown zoning districts, downtown non-conforming use limitation and
appeal process, development regulations (setbacks) and incorporating a downtown
zoning use table: and Land Use Plan amendment to consolidate use categories in
Greater Downtown. The motion passed unanimously with a vote of 6 in favor
(David Cook, Steve Lane, Doug McCulloch, Noros Martin, Steve Wood, and
Jeremy Woodward) and 3 opposed (Michael Grassi, Blake Haney, and Wayne
Pharries).

3. Discussion and possible action related to 2023 Budget Presentations:
Mr. Barham was not present to begin the SMAC presentation, so Mr. Lane skipped to the
next presentation on the agenda, i.d.e.a.WF.
b. i.d.e.a.WF
Dr. Jeff Stambaugh addressed the Board and explained that he represented Dr. Scott
Manley because Dr. Manley was out of the state in Georgia. Dr. Stambaugh reminded the Board
that i.d.e.a.WF had undergone several changes. One significant change brought about was to try
to leverage the assets of the 4A Board to increase the amount of prizes significantly. But that has
not worked as well as has been intended. In this year's budget request, i.d.e.a.WF is returning to
its roots. The proposal is for a simple $50,000 to support administrative support and advertising.
i.d.e.a.WF will commit to raising an equal amount to provide prizes for the winners.And that will
allow the focus to be on the traditional startups rather than the businesses ready to scale and engage
in more of a cash-for-jobs arrangement. If companies enter the contest and it becomes apparent
that they would be great candidates for cash-for-jobs,they would be referred to the 4A Board and
The Chamber. Dr. Stambaugh asked the Board if they had any.questions.
Mr. Lane noted that there is an amount of money that was allocated for last year that is
being returned. The money was never used.
Ms. Cowling asked for clarification and asked if i.d.e.a. WF's plan was for the budget to
have a private sector campaign, but that did not occur this past year. But that was the intention.
Dr. Stambaugh answered yes, and the reason it didn't happen this year was that only one entity
applied,and it didn't qualify for a cash-for-jobs type of position,which was the prize package.Ms.
Cowling clarified that the funding would revert to the way it was before the past two years. Dr.
Stambaugh confirmed that was correct.
Mr. Lane added that he had a couple of discussions with Dr. Manley, who stated that he
had seen other organizations going through the same turmoil through COVID, which included
lower participation. Still,hopefully,everyone will get past this.Dr. Stambaugh stated that this was
a long-term investment,and they want a community that supports entrepreneurship, which is one
of the ways to support it. He further noted that if you want a vibrant startup community, you have
to have a mechanism to support it, and i.d.e.a. WF is one of the ways to do that. Sometimes it's a
lumpier process than we would like it to be. But if you abandon it, your results will be horribly
disappointing for the community's long-term viability.
Ms.Cowling asked what the other components of a vibrant community are.Dr.Stambaugh
said that the Lalani Center also has the idea of an investment mechanism in which promising ideas
can obtain funding, like an angel investment. The angel investor group became a casualty of
COVID, but they are trying to resurrect it. He said that he started and ran the group for several
WFEDC Minutes 07/21/2022
Page 2 of 8

Agenda Item No.6.d
years,and they funded some large local deals.
Mr.Leo stated that he had a note that Glenn Barham was on his way. So the meeting would
move on to Downtown Development.
c. Downtown Wichita Fails Development
Ms. Schmader addressed the Board and thanked them for creating this year's process. She
said it was very beneficial to have a procedure and directive on what to present and what reporting
mechanisms were needed. She described some of DWFD's key accomplishments for the year. She
stated that they helped put together several 4B incentive packages, which resulted in over$1.24
million in funding. The most notable is The Kate, the creation of 170 residential units in the
downtown area. DWFD had 60 property platform information requests, which often resulted in
tours of the specific properties,ten redevelopment meetings with the City of Wichita Falls,which
put all of those projects into development,20 businesses opened,and eight under construction.By
DWFD's estimate, the services in the organization touched over 350,000 square feet downtown.
Another significant accomplishment is the creation of the Indiana historic district,located between
96 and 10th Streets. Buildings within that particular boundary will now be eligible for federal and
state historic tax credits.
Ms.Schmader further explained that the services of DWFD are broken down into two parts.
She is in charge of real estate,from property listings to property tours. She also helps to create the
WF4BSTC proposals. She also is in charge of project facilitation, customer relationship
management, and retention programs. The marketing director, Jeanette, is in charge of all grand
openings, sneak peeks,photography,and website and social media content. She presented a list of
all the stakeholders they represent.
She stated that DWFD furthers WFEDC's strategy by continuing to establish relationships
with the private sector to leverage primarily Type B funding. They convene resources and identify
strategies with the vacant structure registry to update storefronts to make them more marketable.
They continue to advocate and educate the downtown property owners about the benefits of the
public improvement district and support the implementation of the Downtown Master Plan. They
support and endorse opportunities for state and federal resources. For example,they just endorsed
the $2 million worth of ARPA funds approved by Council for Downtown Streetscapes
improvement.And they continue to research other grants to complete the downtown master plan.
Ms. Schmader went on to list the goals of DWFD for the upcoming year.They aim to have
40% of all available properties for sale or lease go into development status, meaning they have
capital and adequate funding. She stated that even through rough times,Downtown has maintained.
a high retention rate, having very few businesses move out of the area or shut down, and they
believe they can keep the retention rate static. They are adapting some promotional programs with
new technology and algorithms over their platforms. They are working with Crane West on
different ideas to project into other regional areas to attract investors. She stated that 95% of
downtown real estate is not listed with a real estate agency. It is for sale by the owner. So this is
when contacts become important because DWFD might know the building owner personally and
can start working towards a deal.
(Ms.Schmader stated that DWFD's request is for$125,000,which encompasses operations,
salaries,and liabilities for her and Janette and all of the economic development activities that have
been done for the last couple of years. She asked the Board if they had any questions.
Mr. Lane asked about DWFD's program for making contacts outside Wichita Falls. She

stated that they did a lot of search engine optimization marketing. However, sometimes it does go
back to relationships.'For example, someone may know someone in Metroplex or Abilene that is
looking to invest in property in Wichita Falls. Mr. Lane asked if they were making cold calls to
developers outside the community. She said no,that it was all digital.
Ms. Cowling stated that she appreciated the metrics provided by DWFD and the goal of
reducing the number of available properties by 40%. She asked about the starting point. She
wondered if they were going by the number of available properties or square footage and the
starting number.Ms. Schmader said they measure off what properties they know people are willing
to sell right now. Ms. Cowling asked how many precisely that was. Ms. Schmader stated that
DWFD has 25 properties currently on its website.
Ms. Cowling commented that she thought the history of their three-year metrics
accomplished was very admirable but tended to be pretty process oriented. She suggested
providing outcome measures in the future.For example,what is the percentage of non-vacancy or
the amount of square footage that gets renovated or expanded in a year? She asked if there was a
way to,quantify the sales tax or ad lorem that comes straight out of Downtown. That would be
another way to show the impact of Downtown and DWFD. Mr. Leiker explained that sales tax
gets difficult because the comptroller keeps that confidential. Then,Ms. Schmader explained that
DWFD posted a graphic on their website showing the Central Business District property values
over the last twenty years. Ms. Cowling said she would use that as a metric because she thinks it
will continue to grow.Ms. Schmader noted the creation of the vacant structure registry would help
them track the vacancy rate closer.
Finally, Ms. Cowling clarified that the $18,000 increase in salaries was not for additional
people but an increase in salary structure. Ms. Schmader confirmed that clarification.
d. Chamber of Commerce
'Mr. Florsheim addressed the Board and explained that the Chamber's proposal was for
$981,500, a decrease from last year. He stated that they have decided not to fund a downtown
development position,which causes a reduction in salaries and related expenses.As with the past
couple of years, he asked that WFEDC include $24,000 in its own budget for the'relocation
assistance program for existing businesses to recruit people from out of town.Mr.Florsheim stated
that he would walk the Board through activities projected for this next year and give a staffing
update.
The executive committee is in the process of negotiating with the candidate for interim
CEO at the Chamber.At the next chamber board meeting,that should be finalized within a couple
of weeks. So the Chamber will have an experienced that cannot developer on Board for the next 3
to 4 months while they conduct a national search for Mr. Florsheim's replacement. The Board has
already hired Todd Jorgensen's firm to perform the CEO search. The Chamber will pause the
search for the business attraction position until a CEO is hired.Some duties have been transitioned
internally to ensure none of the current activities stop.
Summaries

Mr. Floresheim also mentioned Karen Bivona, the Chamber's office manager, handles
project oversight and reconciliation for all the contracts between EDC and companies.
Falls Future Strategy
They just wrapped up the new strategy's development and will be speaking with Matt
Deveau tomorrow to discuss an implementation plan. Discussion about international talent arose.
There is a large group of international students at MSU and a large group of people at Sheppard
AFB that would like to stay in Wichita Falls, but they have VISA issues. They plan to develop a
program to assist companies in understanding the process of helping someone through the
sponsorship process.They have plans to develop better pathways into the industrial trades that are
hurting to find labor right now. The Chamber will be working to develop more public-private
partnerships with Sheppard Air Force Base. It is another ambitious strategy; they accomplished
about 85 to 90%of the last.
Ms.Cowling asked how many expansion and attraction programs were done this past year.
Mr. Florsheim did not have a number. Ms. Cowling stated that this was a critical metric and how
the number of jobs is tracked. Mr. Florsheim and Ms. Cowling discussed compiling workforce
data to calculate the number of people working in.Wichita Falls.Ms.Cowling said a goal of where
Wichita Falls is headed needs to be set.
Ms. Cowling then asked about the budget and how the net decrease adds up to around
$25,000. Mr. Florsheim explained that the key programming changes are $10,000. Additionally,
for Lead Generation, that's our business attraction efforts, $5000 added to the military
WFEDC Minutes 07/21/2022

Agenda Item No.6.d
programming and $2500 to the talent partnership. The $20,000 for relocation is not what was
mentioned earlier. This is to provide the Chamber with more tools to develop a marketing
campaign aimed at companies and to provide other resources, relocation guide, and other things
that can be done internally to help those companies. Then an additional $5,000 for Intern Wichita
Falls. Ms. Cowling clarified that these increases are tied to the economic development strategy
that is in development. Mr. Florsheim agreed.
Mr. Lane made a final comment about the,jobs metric that unless the average pay of the
job is known and how it matches up with the cost of living,no progress is being made. Many very
low-paying jobs are just the opposite of what is needed.
a. SMAC
Mr. Barham addressed the Board and apologized for being late. He said he inadvertently
left off two columns on the budget request spreadsheet. He handed the Board the additional
information that had been omitted. He stated that SMAC was again asking for$150,000,which is
the same level the Board has funded for the last five years.The investment will be used to support
the Shepherd Military Affairs Committee's mission of protecting the future of Sheppard Air Force
Base.
One of the issues SMAC has worked on this past year is acquiring funding to construct a
new child development center at Sheppard Air Force Base.He stated that Sheppard would receive
approximately$27 million to build that new facility.
This past December, Governor Abbott toured Sheppard and met with the installation
commander,Brigadier General Lyle Drew, and the Second Air Force commander, Major General
Michelle Edmondson. Mr. Barham was told it was a worthwhile discussion, and many things had
been cleared up.
SMAC continues to work on low-level Military Training Routes. Mr. Barham stated that
wind farms continue to be an issue. The heights of the turbines and blades reach 680 to 700 feet.
The low-level MTRs are,at 500 feet.It is an obvious hazard to student pilots dealing with windmills
in their flight paths. Early notification from the developers to the military is key to this process.
James Frank and Drew Springer will be introducing legislation next spring that will define early
notification, which will force the wind farm developers to notify the military very early in the
process where they want to establish a development.
SMAC will continue to focus efforts in the upcoming holiday season by assisting low-
income Sheppard families. In FY2023, SMAC will host two dinners. The first one will be held in.
October.The guest speaker is General Charles Q Brown,the Chief of Staff of the Air Force. The
second dinner will be held in the spring when the steering committee returns to Sheppard. They
went to Canada for the spring meeting and return to Sheppard in March.
' Mr. Barham stated that the WFEDC Investment in SMAC operations would help protect
the future of Sheppard AFB's largest employer in the area. Losing Sheppard or either of its two
wings would have a monumental and devastating impact on the local economy,not only Wichita
Falls economy but the entire metropolitan statistical area.Mr.Barham said he looks forward to the
continued partnership with the 4A Board: -
Ms. Cowling asked if BRAG was a threat or an opportunity.Mr.Barham explained that it
is actually both. In 2005 Sheppard lost the medical training, and it moved to San Antonio.
However, Sheppard is well positioned at this point for a BRAC. The likelihood of Sheppard is low
because of its unique training mission.Many international folks come through Sheppard AFB.The
WFEDC Minutes 07/21/2022

Agenda Item No.6.d
majority of airmen in training come to Sheppard AFB. He stated that everyone needs to be
prepared, and he always keeps his ear to the ground on whether a BRAG will happen or-not.
Ms. Cowling asked if there was a way to protect Sheppard and expand it in'terms of
mission. She wondered if expansion only happens during a BRAC. Mr. Barham explained that it
could happen outside of a BRAC.
4. Consider and take action to approve Change Order#1 to the contract for the Wichita
Falls Business Park Fisher Road & Midwestern Parkway Improvements (Project A), in the
amount of S21,110.00,and authorizing the Board president to execute all related documents
Mr. Schreiber addressed the Board and reminded it of the improvements funded for the
business park to make it more attractive for businesses to come to Wichita Falls. The current
project under construction is the Phase A project(Midwestern Parkway Feature Road Expansion).
The contractor has begun that work. However, the Board is well aware of the new development
attempting to locate in the business park on lot six.This lot does not have a roadway in front of it,
so the contractor has been asked to reschedule his phasing of the project and begin on the
Midwestern Parkway portion because Land O'Lakes needs that roadway in front of their lot by
October. This has resulted in a change order. Realignment and adjustment of some storm sewer
also resulted in about$3,600 added to the project.
5. Discussion and possible action related to Incentive Policy Development proposal from
Boyette Strategic Advisors
Mr. Florsheim explained that this had been discussed multiple times. He wondered if they
were doing things competitively and using their incentive dollars appropriately. Are there other
best practices they can impose, and how do they standardize a policy? Mr. Floresheim spoke to
Alicia Cook, who referred him to'Boyette Strategic Advisors. They forwarded a proposal to him
that would help develop,a true incentive policy. They said they could start in late August or early
September if the Board chooses to move forward. It would be a three-month process, and the fee
would be$22,850. Section four of the proposal states that the potential expense is capped at 15%
of the fee.
Mr.Toogood asked if their work for their representative client list was similar or a different
type of economic development consulting. Mr. Florsheim said the work did include some look at
incentives. Mr. Florsheim said that Alisha Cook told him that this company was the best in the
business for this task.
Mr. Lane asked if they represent both manufacturers and chambers.Mr. Florsheim did not
believe they did that sort of thing. For all the communities listed in their proposal,they have done
strategic planning, incentive review, and assembling incentive packages. Ms. Cowling clarified.
that they have negotiated on both sides.
6. Executive Session
Mr. Lane adjourned the meeting into executive session at 3:25 p.m. pursuant to Texas
Government Code §§ 551.087 and 551.071. He announced the meeting back into regular session
at 4:46 p.m.The subjects posted in the Notice of Meeting were deliberated,and no votes or further

ITEM/SUBJECT: Public Hearing on the Fiscal Year 2022-23 Proposed Tax Rate.
INITIATING DEPT: Finance
STRATEGIC GOAL: Actively Communicate and Engage the Public
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: Enhance Public Outreach and Engagement
COMMENTARY: This item is to seek public comment on the FY 2022-23 proposed
Tax Rate, which covers the fiscal period beginning October 1, 2022 and ending
September 30, 2023.

The current property tax rate for the City of Wichita Falls is $0.760928 per $100 of
assessed value. The no-new-revenue tax rate of $0.675652 is essentially the rate that
generates the same property tax revenue as the prior year from properties that were on
the tax roll in both tax years. The voter-approval rate is $0.719697.
The proposed FY 2022-23 budget recommends a tax rate of $0.694321 which, if
approved, results in an 8.8% reduction in the tax rate compared to the current year. The
tax rates, above, are calculated and certified by Tommy Smyth, Wichita County Tax
Assessor-Collector.
Staff recommends the City Council open the public hearing and receive public comments.
No action is required. Consideration of the tax rate and budget is later in this agenda.

ITEM/SUBJECT: Ordinance authorizing the City Manager to approve a request from
Chris and Heather Fugate to vacate and abandon a portion of a
drainage and storm water detention easement adjacent to Lot 22,
Block 2, Bluebonnet Park Addition Section Seven, also known as
5443 Prairie Lace Lane.
INITIATING DEPT: Property Management
STRATEGIC GOAL: Efficiently Deliver City Services
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: Practice Effective Governance
COMMENTARY: Chris and Heather Fugate, property owners of 5443 Prairie Lace
Lane, have applied for the closure, abandonment, and vacation of a portion of a drainage
and storm water detention easement located on their property as indicated and depicted
per the attached Exhibit A and Exhibit B and Property Location Map. This request
would facilitate the property owner to construct a new accessory structure to replace the
one that was on the property when they purchased it. The easement issue was discovered
when the owners inquired about permits for the new structure; it appears the prior property
owners had placed the shed in a drainage easement without seeking or obtaining the
proper city permits and, subsequently, the title company missed the encroachment when
doing the commitment when the property was purchased by the current owners. Based
on an independent appraisal, the owners have provided the City $3,105.60 in exchange
for the vacating of the easement on their property.
Notifications were sent to all utility companies and affected City departments and all have
responded with a recommendation of approval.
Staff recommends approval.

INITIATING DEPT: Parks Department
STRATEGIC GOAL: Effectively Deliver City Services
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: Identify & Evaluate Privatization; Practice Effective
Governance
COMMENTARY: In 2018 one of the City Council's strategic goals is to effectively
deliver City services through the evaluation of privatization. Several areas were evaluated
and one area of our organization where privatization made since was the mowing, edging,
and grass blowing in our park system. In order to evaluate that issue, the City requested
proposals for mowing of 18 smaller parks.
Proposals were evaluated and a contract including a scope of work was signed with Work
Services Corporation in October 2018 for a 3 year agreement starting on March 1, 2019.
This contract expired on February 28, 2022. This agreement has worked well for the City
and staff recommended continuing the contract. This contract has been on a month to
month bases since March so we could align the terms of this contract with our physical
year.
This agenda item will terminate the old contract and the new contract will become effective
on October 1, 2022 and end on September 30, 2025 unless termination occurs as
otherwise provided in this agreement. There will be one two (2)year renewal option under

ITEM/SUBJECT: Discussion and possible action on a request by the City of Wichita
Falls for local match funding related to various airfield projects and
equipment for use by Sheppard Air Force Base.
ATTACHMENTS: Photos
Staff Summary:
Sheppard Air Force Base has approached the City of Wichita Falls to assist with the
following airfield projects:
• Snow Removal Equipment
• Channel Banks Communication Equipment
• Air Traffic Control Light Guns
• Tally Counters
• TC-COMM Media Converters
These projects will greatly improve airfield safety at Sheppard for Military, Commercial,
and General Aviation aircraft. These projects also align with the long-term goals of the
FAA to improve airfield safety across the United States_ In addition, these projects
support the ity's Strategic Goal of supporting Sheppard AFB, as well as improving the
long-term viability of Sheppard in conducting their training missions.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has indicated that they will participate in the
snow removaJ and channel bank communication equipment. As part of this agreement,
the FAA will pay 90% of those project costs. In addition, the FAA has already approved
their portion of the project. Subsequently,the City requires$133,979 to assist Sheppard's
needs and provide the local match requirements for the FAA grant funds.
Snow Removal
Sheppard has no capability to remove snow. The last two v.inters have negatively
impacted Sheppard's ability to conduct flight training due to snow on aircraft movement
areas. From a City perspective. 20+ commercial flights were also cancelled in the last
two years due to snow. As a joint-use airfield, new equipment would contribute to the
rapid removal and continued use of all runways and aircraft movement areas. This ,!.ill
minimize the disruption to Sheppard's training mission, greatly improving their ability to
train military pilots year round. In addition, it will allow for commercial aircraft to resume
operations.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 8.H
Channel Banks
Currently,Air Traffic Control and Landing Systems(ATCAL )is utilizing degraded copper
connectivity and/or using legacy fiber optic transport equipment, commonly called
"channel banks," .within Sheppard AFB. This communication equipment consistently fails,
is well beyond its life cycle, and is no longer la-gistically supported_ The ATCALS
improvements will upgrade Air Traffic Control (ATC) radar-approach control facilities to
ensure compatibility with the FAA's ATC facilities. Due to the repeated interruptions to
ATC operations, upgrading this infrastructure will help address these disruptions and
improve airfield safety..
Air Traffic Control Light Guns
In the event of radio failure, light guns are used to safely land,depart aircraft from the Air
Traffic Control Tower_
Tally Counters
Accurately counts air traffic control operations in the tower as specified by the FAA..
TC-COMM Media Converters
Converts analog to digital signal to provide a more reliable signal to the wind sensors.
