Item 4 Mary Carr, 7 Ramona Court, spoke in support of the 50+ Zone and requested approval of an item in the Recreation Budget changing the status of the one temporary part time fitness recreation leader position to permanent part time, from 20 to 30 hours. Currently over 70% of the 50+Zone members attend a fitness class and/or utilize the onsite fitness room; additional hours would enable much needed assistance in the fitness center as well as additional staffing time to add more fitness classes to serve more members. The 20 hour per week restriction limits the classes to mornings only. The Zone's fitness recreation leader has a wealth of expertise in senior fitness and health issues, and we have seen a dramatic change in our fitness levels and flexibility as well as overall well-being because of her expertise. Increasing the fitness leader's hours would allow more citizens to benefit. Numerous 50+ Zone members accompanied Mrs. Carr. Mayor stated that Council will take this into consideration. Keith Cameron, 2620 Elmwood, expressed concern about our water shortage and wanted to know why we do not recycle back into our lakes; it is better than putting 10 million gallons of water into the river. He was concerned about the consequences of no water in the future.

Mayor declared the public hearing open. Landmark Commission Liaison Karen Montgomery provided detailed information on the Landmark Commission priorities set for the next two years, which are to consider working with property owners to nominate ten properties for historic designation. This is to provide additional protection for properties in our community that have demonstrated valuable roles in the heritage of our community. She mentioned the responsibilities and requirements that need to be met as a designated Certified Local Government Community along with the State Historical Commission and National Parks Service.

Current tax rate is a little over $0.62 per$100 assessed valuation. In the budget discussions there was a recommendation to increase the tax rate by one penny per$100 assessed valuation. That would generate $460,000 additional revenue for 437 Item 10 continued primarily three areas of expenditure: 1) $140,000 for Airport Debt Service, 2) mowing crew and equipment for most of the State right-of-ways inside City limits to supplement what the State does, 3) upgrade our Code Enforcement efforts to address beautification in the City, additional staff. This is the first of two public hearings regarding the tax rate. This one penny increase would cost home owner that owns a$100,000 home an additional $10/year. Mayor called for additional comments. There being none Mayor declared the public hearing closed. Item 11 a ORDINANCE NO. 48-2012 Ordinance Waiving Requirements Of Resolution No. 112-89 To Provide Water Service Outside The City Limits To A Commercial Use Located At 2213 State Highway 79 South Moved by Councilor Roberts-Burns that Ordinance No. 48-2012 be passed.

Motion seconded by Councilor Smith. Caleb Stade, 20132 FM 1954, Holiday, requested that Council consider looking for a. space to launch rockets. Their family is involved in that activity. Marion Stade, 20132 FM 1954, Holliday, informed that they have two properties in Wichita Falls on which they pay taxes; therefore she feels she can make comments. She disapproves of Council saying no before they say yes. You said no to rockets yet there is no place for them. You said no to archery yet you do not have a place for archery. I have a lot of kids, children that like archery. You say no before you say yes. Councilor Smith pointed out that this is a safety issue and the sooner we have this the better. I do not want to hear that someone was hurt by a projectile that we had the opportunity to address. I think we are doing the right thing. Charles Hosch, 4503 Prince Edward, spoke in favor of this ordinance. He expressed concern about fires being started with fireworks during this drought and water shortage. He felt this was a perception issue, why should people feel that they should be allowed to do things that are not in the best interest of the public. Rockets and crossbows are deadly weapons and most people have to go to the firing range. Why should we be watering golf courses and allowing rockets to be launched on dry grass? This is a perception issue. Hard decisions need to be made in this town and I do not see them being made. We have to think about everybody not just special interest groups. Motion carried by the following vote. Ayes: Mayor Barham, Councilors Roberts-Burns, Smith, Pope, Hooker, Ingle, and Ward Nays: None Item 12a A proposed resolution was presented awarding bids for three City owned parcels in Clay County at Lake Arrowhead for the purpose of hunting. Moved by Councilor Roberts-Burns that proposed resolution be passed. Motion seconded by Councilor Ingle. 439 Item 12a continued Councilor Smith asked several questions regarding the number of people the lessee is allowed to bring in to hunt, noise and dumping of trash nuisances. Property Manager Pat Hoffman felt that the lease requirements address those issues. There is no limit to the number of deer that can be harvested. Agencies like the Game Warden, Clay County Sheriff, Texas Parks and Wildlife, even the City, can be contacted for concerns on these leases. The City has access to these leases and can go in at any time. Lessee has to be present when he invites people to his lease. Stan Kimball, 555 Prairie Way, General Ranch Manager for the Kimball Ranches in north Texas and southern Oklahoma, and his family's property is south of Lake Arrowhead spillway. He mentioned numerous land related issues/concerns at the Lake. They have had the Grazing Lease No. 2 for 25 years.We have observed that there is a lack of adequate oversight over the management of these leases and would hope that land stewardship is one of the City's long term goals for owning this property. Land stewardship should be tied to maintaining warm season grass that covers the property and the lease addresses that, however that has not been the case with the last two grazing tenants. This land has been desiccated and over- grazed. His family has had hunting rights for 30 years and does not feel this lease was adequately written; they feel there could be a problem with the number of people allowed on the property, as well as lessees that will take off from the property and not give back in wildlife management. He and his neighbors agree that this land should be leased for grazing only. Approval of hunting leases presents a dangerous situation for visitors and residents at the Lake. The City should not be in this business because they will not be able to give it the oversight it deserves to maintain a viable wildlife population. This land has become a burden to adjoining land owners and law enforcement officers. The addition of hunting leases to City owned land only gets further away from the original intended use of this land when they were condemned from adjoining land owners. Please consider stewardship of the land over short term gain and vote no to this ordinance. Motion failed by the following vote. Ayes: Mayor Barham Nays: Councilors Roberts-Burns, Smith, Pope, Hooker, Ingle, and Ward Item 12b RESOLUTION NO. 81-2012 Resolution Awarding Bids For Two City Owned Parcels In Archer County at Lake Kickapoo For The Purpose Of Hunting To The Highest Bidder Beginning September 4, 2012 And Expiring on May 31, 2018 Moved by Councilor Ingle that Resolution No.81-2012 be passed.
