8:38 a.m.
Emily Brock, 2404 Bullington St., addressed the council and stated that she has been told
Wichita Falls is a sanctuary city, and is requesting that the sanctuary status be removed.
She learned that sanctuary cities are welcoming to illegals, and migrants are coming from
the borders by thousands on buses, and trains. She stated that this is a ploy invented by
Biden to influence the third world, and have migrants be able to vote democratic. Ms.
Brock thanked the City Council for hearing her.
Valerie Rhodes, 1706 Avalon, invited everyone to support Black History events
throughout the City and wanted to make sure inclusiveness and diversity are embraced
and not excluded. Ms. Rhodes stated that exclusion may start with one person of color,
but will move to other ethnic groups, heritages, etc. She encouraged everyone to
celebrate the building of bridges and not the building of walls and to celebrate open gates
and the natural ebb and flow of our country. She stated that the City recognizes the Martin
Luther King Prayer Breakfast, and the community prospers from the scholarships given
at the event, but the City does not recognize Martin Luther King Day as a holiday and she
asked that the City Council consider changing that. Ms. Rhodes noted that Martin Luther
King was not only a great Black American but a great American.
Tyler Preston, 1557 Mesquite St., Executive Director of the Southside Youth Center,
spoke on behalf of the North Texas Childcare Association, and asked Council to consider
the ratification SJR 64 commonly known as Proposition 2. There are currently 60 licensed
childcare center and homes, and 32 of those are for profit and required to pay ad valorem
taxes. One center closed last year due to their inability to pay both ad valorem taxes and

their staff. Mr. Preston discussed the challenges childcare centers face, and how ratifying
SJR 64 allows childcare facilities relief from property taxes. He discussed the low pay for
childcare workers, which is below the living wage, and how centers could afford to pay

paving the way for future leaders.

COMMENTARY: The City has purchased mowers through a cooperative purchasing

through interlocal cooperative purchasing contracts from the State's competitive bidding
requirements. This chapter does not apply to expenditure for. . . (12) personal property
sold. . . under an interlocal contract for cooperative purchasing administered by a regional
planning commission established under Chapter 391.
Staff recommends the purchase of three (3) Kubota Model ZD1211R-3-60R 60" mowers
and two (2) Kubota F2690 72" Rear Discharge mowers through the Sourcewell
Purchasing Cooperative from Berend Turf & Tractor, LP in the amount of $98,940.08.
Budgeted Cost $145,500.00

1. Call to Order: Austin called the meeting to order at 11:33.
2. Approval of Minutes: December meeting minutes were approved unanimously.
3. Project Updates:
3.a. Veteran's Plaza Project:
David stated the check he wrote to Marrs Patriot Construction for $4,200 was bounced
twice by Wells Fargo, because there had been no activity on that account for so long they
suspected fraud. This caused an extra $70 expense: $30 each for the returned check
fees, plus $10 for getting a cashier's check. The Committee approved this expense.
Terry stated the parking lot repaving contractor should be laying asphalt within two weeks
so hopefully that project will be complete soon.
David stated we received two more brick engraving orders, bringing our total to 24. The
engraver must wait for the parking lot to be complete before doing the engraving.
Austin stated he talked to Katherine McGregor, Chair of WFISD, regarding possibly
moving the memorial items from the Stadium to the Plaza. She expressed a willingness
to discuss this with the School Board. The Committee voted unanimously to table this
initiative but revive it if the WFISD changes the name of Memorial Stadium.
3.b. Lake Deepening:
Steve stated that in 2015 he met with Shelley Sweatt of the Priddy Foundation, who was
interested in supporting the Lake Wichita project, especially toward the completion of the
project. The committee supported Steve renewing this conversation, to be sure Shelley
is aware of the potential cost-share arrangement with the Corps of Engineers.
January 9, 2024

AGENDA ITEM NO.7.b
David will contact Dr. Clyde for an update on the USACE Federal Interest Determination.
Steve asked about potentially deepening the Borrow Pit Pond, but Terry and Wes
informed the group that the pond was dug down to the water table for dam construction
and can't be deepened any more. Wes said that TP&W stocks that pond when its full.
3.c. Parks Master Plan: Mike stated the City's Parks Master Plan update process has
started, and a Steering Committee is being formed to lead that effort. This group will
meet around the end of January and will schedule 3 Town Hall meetings to solicit public
input.
4. Discussion of Brick Sales and Fundraising Initiatives:
David stated the Wells Fargo checking account balance is $26,824,24 with pending
obligations of Brick Engraving and a concrete apron for the Fowler monument. We also
have a balance of approximately $6,000 in the City of Wichita Falls account, left over
from construction of the Veterans Plaza. David stated in his discussions with Lakeside
City Officials, they have no knowledge of the $3,877.50 cost for the boat ramp dredging —
however, John stated that Alison Sanders no longer works for Lakeside City, and he will
try to get a final determination at their City Council meeting next week. The Committee
voted unanimously that if the LWRC has a debt to Lakeside City, we will pay that amount
and not seek debt forgiveness —but if that payment is made, we will request that the sign
"Lakeside City Residents Only" be removed from the boat ramp.
5. Consideration of new member applications: Austin stated that Steve Garner will be
our new Park Board representative, and the Committee decided to recommend adding
Josh Whittiker and Jack Roe as new Members of the LWRC. This will be confirmed by
City Council at their meeting next week.
6. Other Business Matters:
Mike Battaglino announced he will hold a District 4 Town Hall at the American Legion
Post 169 on Monday, 22 January at 5:00 pm.
Mike stated the City Council's Strategic Planning process has started, and he's requested
a Lake Ringgold Advocacy Committee be formed. David said he will contact Russell
Schreiber and request a Staff update on Lake Ringgold at our March meeting.
7. Adjournment: The meeting adjourned at 12:22 pm.

At the heart of the Wichita Falls plant are two float glass lines, one of which is oxy-fuel based.
The oxy-fuel-based line provides significantly improved energy efficiency and reduced
environmental impact. Both lines utilize automatic,camera-based inspection systems that help to
ensure product quality and consistency. The plant currently operates one coating line, Coater 7.
As the largest of its kind in North America, Coater 7 enables Vitro to produce high-performing,
low-emissivity(low-e) glasses up to 130-by-240 inches in size, which have quickly become the
preference of today's building designers.
Over the next five years Vitro anticipates spending in excess of$60 million in capital investments
to improve and modernize its Wichita Falls plant. These planned investments include
approximately S44 million to be spent from 2024 through 2030 for the repair and upgrade of Glass
Lines 1 and 2, which includes furnace repair for Line 1 and a full furnace rebuild for Line 2.
Additional capital projects include the potential addition of production line enhancements for new
glass products, upgraded equipment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and other plant
maintenance and production improvements. The totality of these investments,alongside additional
ongoing improvements,will continue to enhance the Wichita Falls plant's reliability,productivity,
and efficiency. As a result of these planned investments,Vitro respectfully requests an Enterprise
Project nomination from the City of Wichita Falls for the March 1, 2024 application round.
Section 2303.406(a)(4)(D) of the Texas Government Code allows a project or activity of a
qualified business to be designated as an Enterprise Project and receive job retention benefits if
the business has clearly demonstrated that "the business is able to employ individuals in
accordance with Section 2303.402." Vitro qualifies for job retention benefits under this statutory
provision because Vitro will use a proprietary,voluntary questionnaire to actively track new-hires
to determine"economically disadvantaged"hiring patterns and will geo-code new-hires to identify
employees that reside in state Enterprise Zones. The data collected from the questionnaires and
geo-coding will be used to establish a best-practices model for hiring employees in accordance
with Section 2303.402.
If designated as an enterprise project by the State of Texas, Vitro commits to hiring thirty-five
percent (35%) economically disadvantaged persons, enterprise zone residents or veterans, for its
new permanent jobs for certification at the qualified business site during its enterprise project
designation. Vitro currently employs 335 full-time employees at its Wichita Falls plant. Vitro
expects to maintain its existing level of employment and retain all full-time qualifying jobs for
benefit under the Enterprise Zone Program. These jobs meet the definition of a"retained job" in
Texas Government Code§2303.401(2)because they currently exist,provide,and will continue to
provide at least 1,820 hours of employment annually, and will be employment positions for the
longer of the duration of the project's designation period or three years after the expiration date of
the claim period for receipt of state benefit.

Vitro would like to convey to you that we do not view government assistance as a free handout.
Government assistance helps us to he competitive in our current locale. As a direct example,
despite being in a state with abundant natural gas supply,our plant just sustained a very expensive
natural gas curtailment causing us to defer our production and incur unplanned cost variances. We
have many competitors with better gas transportation prices and reliability as well as cheaper
offshore labor practices. We need the continued great support of the local leadership that are great
partners in business and our community.
Vitro is excited about its plans to upgrade its Wichita Falls manufacturing plant and looks forward
to continuing its relationship with the Texas Enterprise Zone Program and the City of Wichita
Falls in the coming years.

Wichita Falls 4B Sales Tax Corporation
Attn: Mr. Guy A_ Fidelie, Jr_, President
P.O. Box 1431
Wichita Falls,TX 76307
To the Wichita Falls 4B Sales Tax Corporation:
On behalf of the Wichita Falls Chamber of Commerce please accept this letter of support for the
request for funding for Sheppard Air Force Base (SAFB)to alleviate aviation hazards in an effort
to support the military mission and maintain progress achieved to date with the airfield Bird Air
Strike Hazard (BASH) reclamation project
SAFB has actively been revitalizing the condition of the airfield since 2014 due to the damage
caused by the unprecedented drought which occurred between 2010-2015, having invested
significant resources, both monetary and personnel time; into reclaiming the airfield lands. Over
the last 10-years SAFB has invested the following to combat damage: 2014 - 3300k; 2015 -
$120K; and 2016-2023 approximately$56K annually. However, with decreased funding sources
available to SAFB, there are insufficient funds anticipated beginning FY24 and beyond to ensure
adequate maintenance of the airfield reclamation project, this request becomes crucial so that
they may continue to make progress and address Bird Air Strike Hazards to both the military
mission and civilian aviation. We are requesting the Wichita Falls 4B Sales Tax Corporation
consider funding an annual payment for SAFB in the amount of $99,500 over a period of four
years. However,this funding would cease if federal funding resumes. By acquiring the requested
funds Sheppard Air Force Base would be able to address two key tasks: 1) annual spraying of
invasive weed species, and 2)grass seed application of the desirable BASH friendly grasses to
help mitigate and improve current conditions.
Not only does this project directly impact the efforts of Sheppard Air Force Base and its flying
training mission, the international Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pilot Training (ENJJPT) Program, but it
also offers safety benefits for civilian aviation through the Wichita Falls Municipal Airport which
utilizes Runway 17/35 in addition to Air Force facilities under the long-standing Department of
