CITY COUNCIL AGENDA
November 15, 2022
ITEM/SUBJECT: Conduct a Public Hearing and consider an Ordinance amending
Section 22 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Wichita Falls to
amend portions of the 2015 International Mechanical Code, and
Residential Code, and providing for codification.
INITIATING DEPT: Development Services
STRATEGIC GOAL: Efficiently Deliver City Services
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: Practice Effective Governance
BACKGROUND:
• July 6, 2022: Staff and Construction Board of Adjustment and Appeals (CBOA)
discusses possible exhaust fan amendments during meeting. Staff was advised to
bring back an item for formal recommendation by the CBOA.
• September 29, 2022: The CBOA makes a formal recommendation to amend the
International Mechanical Code (IMC) and International Residential Code (IRC) to
allow for vent fans in restrooms to discharge into the attic space.
• November 15, 2022: City Council to consider ordinance amendment.
COMMENTARY:
This item in the International Mechanical Code (IMC) specifically relates to exhaust
discharge from ventilation fans. This IMC code section most directly impacts the
installation of ventilation fans in residential (single-family home) restrooms. This
amendment would allow for residential restrooms to exhaust into the attic space above a
home (a minimum of 18" above the insulation line), instead of venting out of the attic
space as currently required in the IMC and IRC. The International Mechanical Code (IMC)
references this installation standard in Section 501.3 (attached), and it has been required
by the code for many code cycles, including the 2015 IMC (the City's currently-adopted
mechanical code).
This item was initially requested by members of the City Council for discussion by the
Construction Board of Adjustments and Appeals (CBOA) after the CBOA's June 13th
meeting, and was requested for further discussion by the Board following their July 6th
meeting. At their September 29, 2022 meeting, the CBOA made a recommendation to
amend the building code to make changes related to exterior venting of exhaust fans in
residential home construction.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA
November 15, 2022
ITEM/SUBJECT: Ordinance amending Section 50-34 of the Code of Ordinances,
Identifying the Classifications and Number of Positions in Each
Classification for the Fire Department.
INITIATING DEPT: Fire
STRATEGIC GOAL: Efficiently Deliver City Services
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: Practice effective governance.
COMMENTARY: State civil service law applicable to firefighters and police officers
requires that the municipality's governing body establish the classifications and the
number of positions in each classification by ordinance. In the 2022 - 2023 Approved
Budget, the personnel schedule for the Fire Department increases the number of Fire
Lieutenants by three positions and eliminates three Firefighter Equipment Operator
positions.
Currently, the Wichita Falls Fire Department has four full-time personnel assigned to the
Fire Prevention, Education, and Investigation Division. There are (3) Assistant Fire
Marshals who hold the Civil Service rank equivalent of Fire Equipment Operator. The
division is supervised by a Fire Marshal who holds the Civil Service rank equivalency of
a Battalion Chief.
The Fire Marshal division has, for many years, lacked a succession plan or path from
entry level to the Fire Marshal/Battalion Chief role without requiring the staff member to
leave the division for promotion. When this occurs we are unable to leverage the
tremendous cost of training and without intermediate ranks within the division, the
member could not return to the division unless or until they qualified for and were
appointed to the Fire Marshal role.
For the past three years there has been a concerted effort between fire administration
and the association to address the problem and several proposals were considered. After
much work and debate, we have jointly agreed to a multi-year plan that would add up to
three Lieutenants this year, and propose that we add a Captain position in the 2024-2025.
If that were to be supported, we would for the first time, have a succession plan that would
allow members who are committed to the Fire Marshal division to promote within the
division and would allow for future Fire Marshals to be selected from members who have
both the requisite training and experience to serve the community.
This action is the first step of that plan; which is limited to the implementation of the
Lieutenant rank.

ITEM/SUBJECT: Ordinance establishing Article XI-Catalytic Converters; providing for
severability; and providing an effective date.
INITIATING DEPT: Police Department
STRATEGIC GOAL: Efficiently Deliver City Services
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: Practice Effective Governance
COMMENTARY: Since the beginning of 2022 our citizens have reported over a
hundred catalytic converters stolen off their vehicles. The repair cost to vehicles as a
result of a catalytic converter theft is substantial to the victim with current thefts costing
over $100,000.00 dollars. The catalytic converters contain precious metals that are sold
to metal recyclers for a profitable monetary return. To strengthen the Texas H.B. 4110
which required metal recyclers to require proof of ownership with documented evidence,
we recommend adopting an ordinance forbidding any person or entity that is not a metal
recycler to possess a catalytic converter on their person unless they have documentation
proving their ownership of it or the vehicle on which it was attached. The person in
possession of a catalytic converter must prove that it was lawfully obtained or the catalytic
converter will be seized and the person issued a citation with a fine not to exceed $500.00
per catalytic converter possessed in violation of this ordinance. Many other Texas cities
are adopting this type of ordinance.
Staff recommends approval of the ordinance.

WHEREAS, catalytic converters contain the precious metals of rhodium,
palladium, and platinum. The value for these metals, especially rhodium, have been at an
all-time high since 2019; and,
WHEREAS, The National Insurance Crime Bureau has reported the claims of
catalytic converter thefts rose nationally from 3,389 in 2019 to 14,433 in 2020. In Wichita
Falls, from 2019 to 2022 there have been over 130 reported catalytic converters stolen.
Local Mechanic and Muffler shops have repaired or replaced multiple catalytic converters
where the victim never made a police report; and,
WHEREAS, on September 1, 2021, Texas H.B. 4110 was enacted to help combat
the rise in catalytic converter thefts, however, the bill only addressed those trying to sell
and purchase catalytic converters. Multiple cities across the country and Texas are trying
to help combat the thefts via possession ordinances.

ITEM/SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute all documents
necessary to purchase replacement portable radios, upgrade the
core network infrastructure equipment, and install a new microwave
link for the Public Safety Radio System through the H-GAC
Purchasing Cooperative from Dailey Wells Communications Inc. for
$1,923,647.57.
INITIATING DEPT: Information Technologies & Facilities
STRATEGIC GOAL: Efficiently Deliver City Services
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: Practice Effective Governance
COMMENTARY: The proposed 2022-23 City Budget $1,527,000 to replace the
existing portable radios currently being used by the Police & Fire Departments, the Public
Safety Radio System's Core Network Infrastructure, and the installation of a microwave
link from the Denver communication tower to the Transfer Station tower. The current
Information Technology Internal Service Fund has available funds in the amount of
$1,502,511.21 for the purchase of these items, in addition to a $421,136.36 federal grant
received by the Fire Department.
The Public Safety portable radios have an anticipated 7-year life cycle. These units have
been in place since 2015, therefore, they have exceeded their proposed life cycle and will
no longer be supported by the manufacturer.
The Public Safety Core Infrastructure consists of the backend network equipment. This
does not include any of the wireless microwave signal propagation equipment. This
equipment was installed in 2015. This equipment has a 5-year life cycle and will no longer
be supported.
In 2019, the City constructed a communication tower adjacent to the Denver Water
Tower. This tower was put into place to house the critical Public Safety Radio
communication equipment instead of the water tower. During this process, the link that
connected the equipment to the Transfer Station tower had to be connected via data T1
link because the water tower was in the line of site. Over the last 3 years we have
experienced several outages with this link and it has proven unreliable. These outages
cause radio communication disruption for the Public Safety sector in that area of town.
The Public Safety Radio system currently has several microwave links and they are much
more reliable.
