Min 10/02/2012 452 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES Wichita Falls, Texas Memorial Auditorium Building October 2, 2012 Item 1 The City Council of the City of Wichita Falls, Texas met in regular session on the above date in the Council Chambers of the Memorial Auditorium Building at 8:30 o'clock a.m., with the following members present. Glenn Barham - Mayor Dorothy Roberts-Burns - Councilors Annetta Pope - Brian Hooker - Mary Ward - Michael Smith - Absent Tim Ingle - Absent Darron Leiker - City Manager Miles Risley - City Attorney Lydia Ozuna - City Clerk Mayor Barham called the meeting to order. Item 2a Councilor District 2 Annetta Pope gave the invocation. Item 2b Mayor Barham led in the Pledge of Allegiance. Item 3a Mayor proclaimed October 7-13, 2012 as "National 4-H Week" in Wichita Falls. A representative from the Wichita County Extension 4-H Agency accepted the proclamation. Mayor proclaimed October 7-13, 2012 as "Mental Illness Awareness Week in Wichita Falls". Item 3b Mayor recognized Mr. Jeffrey McDonald, Maintenance Worker, Parks Department, as Employee of the Month for October 2012. Mayor presented Mr. McDonald with a plaque, a letter of appreciation, restaurant tickets, and a check. Item 4 Cindy Cotton, 1508 Tilden, Neighborhood Association Vice President and spokesperson, thanked Council for working with their historical district, the new handicap accessed curbs, street lights, and paving of alleys; we have worked hand in hand with the City. Their neighborhood has a concern with the removal of the alley dumpsters. This will take away from the historical aspect of 453 Item 4 continued their neighborhood. If the alley dumpsters are removed we will see a rise in criminal activity because we will not be back there. People will be more apt to dump tree limbs, trash, and other items in the alleys once the dumpsters are removed. Our pipes and streets are old; driving large sanitation trucks over them will put major wear and tear on them. She invited Council to their Fall Tour. She commented that this group of neighbors was only a small number of residents that does not want alley dumpsters removed. Mayor clarified that that decision has not been made. We will have another item on the October 16 Council agenda. Carolyn Looney, 1500 Hayes, spokesperson for the West Floral Heights Historical Neighborhood, felt that it would be a big mistake to remove the alley dumpsters; fuel cost would increase because there would be more stops, but in alleys there would be only three stops. It will also affect the handicap. Also, most people work and dumpsters would be out there all day and would be an eyesore. Numerous neighborhood residents were present in support of keeping alley dumpsters. Robert Seabury, 2 Shepherds Court, informed that the Curtis Jenny Airplane needs a home, and suggested that the Jenny be displayed at the new Airport Terminal. It would be a great display for the passengers and provide the environment it needs. Their preference would be that the terminal be expanded to accommodate the Jenny; however a new building could be constructed in the location of the old terminal to accommodate the Jenny along with a retired F-16 or T-38. Funding could be from 4B, foundations, and private monies. It could take place five years from now. Item 5 Minutes of the September 18, 2012 Council meeting were approved as distributed.
