ON THE COVER:
This year the Mesquite (Prosopis) tree was chosen as the symbol for the
cover of the 1979-1980 Annual Budget and Activity Summary. Indigenous
to this area, it is a common sight in and around the City of Wichita Falls. It
thrives well in this semi-arid region, growing into large shrubs or small trees.
Early settlers of this area considered it an invaluable source of fuel, fence
posts, building material, and even food. Today, it does not play as valuable a
role, but when grown under control, its branches can provide a source of
shade from the Texas sun for wildlife, and its roots are important for the
holding of sand dunes, as well as making a good hedge for cattle grazing.

CITY MANAGER'S BUDGET
MESSAGE
October 1, 1979
Mayor and Board of Aldermen
City of Wichita Falls
Wichita Falls, Texas
Lady and Gentlemen:
Attached to this Budget Message you will find the 1979-80 Budget and Work Program for the City
of Wichita Falls. This document, which represented the City Manager's recommendation, was filed
with the City Clerk by August 28, 1979. A public hearing was held on September 25, 1979 after
which the Board of Aldermen approved the proposed Budget and Work Program.
Revenue Projections
Because of the April 10, 1979 tornado and its consequent affect on several major revenue sources of
the City, this particular budget has been difficult in projecting Fiscal Year 1979-80 revenues for the
operating budget of the City. Such major revenue sources as ad valorem taxes, water sale revenues,
sewer sale revenues and sanitation revenues have been negatively affected by the tornado.
I am projecting anticipated revenues for the 1979-80 Fiscal Year at $24,691,000 from local sources.
This is about a 8.7% increase over the revised revenue estimate for 1978-79. The appraised valuation
tax roll as of January 1, 1979 is estimated at $1,175,000,000. This compares with an appraised tax
roll in 1978 of $968,500,000. An estimate of the appraised value tax roll loss as a result of tornado
damage is $122,000,000. Therefore, an appraised valuation property tax roll as of April 10, 1979
has been estimated at $1,048,000,000. Combining the two appraised value tax rolls on a
proportionate basis for the 1979 tax year we would have a $1,083,000,000 appraised roll and a
$758,230,000 assessed roll. I am recommending for your consideration a tax rate of $1.00 per $100
of assessed valuation for 1979. With the January 1, 1979 and the April 10, 1979 appraised values, a
tax rate of $1.00 per $100 of assessed valuation and 99% collection rate, total property taxes for
the 1979-80 Budget and Work Program are projected at $7,510,500. This compares to $6,979,700
collected for the 1978-79 Fiscal Year. Debt Service requirements for General Obligation Bonds will
result in the need for $ .23 of the total $1.00 tax rate of $1,727,500. Finally, $5,783,000 based
upon the remaining $ .77 of the tax rate is projected for General purposes.
A substantial increase in payments in lieu of taxes is projected based upon proposed contract
modifications with four major industries holding non-annexation agreements with the City. All
other rates, charges and fees, except water, sewer and sanitation rates are projected at 1978-79
levels. Through the 1978-79 Fiscal Year we have been able to operate our water and sewer system
on a self-supporting basis from water and sewer rate revenues. With a decrease in estimated 1978-79
revenues from water and sewer rates, primarily resulting from the loss of water and sewer customers
after the April 10th tornado we would not anticipate that the present water and sewer rate
structure would be able to self-support water and sewer operations and debt service requirements in
1979-80. Therefore, I am recommending an average 10% increase in water rates and 13% increase in
sewer rates in order to maintain these systems on a self-supporting basis. Substantial energy cost
increases, cost of chemicals, the need for additional staff to properly maintain these systems, as well
as projected customer loss through the 1979-80 Fiscal Year, has necessitated this recommendation
for rate increases. The new rates have been projected in revenue estimated for water and sewer
revenues.
Although the sanitation collection and disposal service has been operating on a self-supporting basis,
we would not project such self-supporting basis to continue during the current Fiscal Year and for
the projected costs in the 1979-80 Fiscal Year without a rate increase. Therefore, I am
recommending a $ .25 per month increase in the residential sanitation collection and disposal rate
4
and a 10% increase in commercial sanitation collection and disposal rates. This would increase the
residential alley collection rate to $2.50 and the residential curbside collection rate to $3.25. The
present $2.25 rate had not been modified for over five years. These additional revenues have also
been projected in the revenue estimates.
With carryover balances in several funds amounting to $444,500, total resources available to
support the 1979-80 Operating and Debt Service budget of the City amounts to $25,135,500. This
would include revenues for the five operating funds of the City, (General,Water and Sewer,Airport,
Auditorium/Activities Center, and Transit funds), as well as the General Obligation, Water and
Sewer revenue and Airport Debt funds.
Salary Plan Proposals
We annually prepare a salary survey to determine salary plan recommendations to the Board of
Aldermen in conjunction with the annual budget process. Surveyed are public agencies, cities of
comparable size and private employers within the Wichita Falls labor market. The results of this
survey indicate that the City of Wichita Falls is below the median beginning and top salaries paid by
other employers. In addition, we are having continuing problems in recruiting and retaining
personnel for many positions. Finally, most all of the cities and private employers surveyed are
anticipating salary increases in the vicinity of 7%effective October 1, 1979.
Based upon this study and our continuing difficulty in recruiting and retaining personnel for many
positions, I am recommending a salary plan which would provide a 7%across the board increase for
all positions. Also, I am recommending that an additional 2.5% increase be provided for all positions
which our salary survey indicated are substantially below the median salary of like public and
private employer positions. The salary adjustments would become effective on October 10, 1979.
Total cost of implementing the salary recommendations for the 1979-80 Fiscal Year, including
corresponding increases in Social Security and Retirement contributions, impact the 1979-80
Budget by $1,011,000. Even with the salary improvements, we will in many cases be below the
median beginning and top salary for comparable positions.
Program Service Levels
After your initial discussion of the Budget and Work Program for 1979-80 in early August, the
proposed expenditures of the City would fund Service Levels thru 195 with an operating budget
cost of $21,744,908. A total of 262 Service Levels were provided for your consideration. Including
Debt Service fund needs of $2,839,500, total proposed expenditures for 1979-80 amount to
$24,584,408. This would provide for an ending balance of slightly more than 2% of total
expenditures, or $551,092. The service levels would provide for the continuation of current levels
of service as well as provide for additional service in those areas prioritized by the Board of
Aldermen. A brief description of the 195 Service Levels funded are contained in this document.
Non-Operating Budget
In addition to the operating budget and work program contained in this document, during the
1979-80 Fiscal Year the City is expected to expend about $6,400,000 in federal funds from block
and categorical grants, in state grants, and from bond funds. Of this amount $1,250,000 is general
revenue sharing, $2,100,000 is community development block grants; $500,000 is CETA block
grants; $1,330,000 in Sewer Revenue Bonds; $400,000 of Section 8 Housing Assistance;$428,000
in participation paving funds; and $375,000 in several categorical grants. The particular projects are
listed by departmefits and in a separate section of this document.
Let me take this opportunity to express my deep appreciation to the members of the City Council
for their interest and dedicated work on this budget and work program. Finally, much credit for the
smooth flow of this budget process must go to our operational and budget staffs.
Very truly yours,

WATER PURIFICATION
Budget Unit 852 ACTIVITY
The Water Purification Department is responsible for providing safe, high quality water to the public in
compliance with the State Safe Drinking Water Act. Two purification plants and pumping stations with a
combined capacity of providing 48 million gallons daily and a peak hourly pumping capacity of 60 MGD are
operated at Jasper and Cypress Streets. Water is provided not only to residents of Wichita Falls, but also to
Sheppard Air Force Base, six surrounding cities and several small rural water systems.
SERVICE LEVELS
1. The Jasper Street Water Plant would be operated at this level on a 24 hour per day
schedule and would meet approximately 70% of the current demand. The Jasper Plant
is operated at the first level because of its greater treatment capacity and to provide
greater water pressure for fire protection to the downtown area. $490,565
2. This level brings the Cypress Street Plant on-line and provides adequate water
treatment and pumping capacity to meet current demands. Water pressure would be
enhanced to provide better fire protection due to increased storage capacity. 236,242
3. Chemicals to soften the water pumped through the system would be funded at this
level. Water softening is a benefit to the citizens by reducing iron and manganese in the
water and helps to reduce the solids in the water, therefore reducing maintenance on
residential plumbing. 109,695
TOTAL $836,502
GOALS Et OBJECTIVES
To provide safe, high quality drinking water to the public according to demand.
1. To maintain water quality in compliance with State Law and Federal Safe Drinking Water Act.
2. To improve esthetic values of water by elimination of objectionable taste, odor and removal of
odor in compliance with EPA secondary regulations.

NON-OPERATING RESOURCES
The preceeding pages have outlined annual operating resources to support
City services, most of which are generated locally.The City also receives and
expends funds which extend beyond annual operating revenues, and
therefore cannot be classified as normal or regular. Since these funds are
made available through a variety of state and federal agencies and bond
funds, effective funding periods often times do not coincide with the fiscal
year of the City.
GENERAL REVENUE SHARING
General Revenue Sharing is a federal program to provide financial assistance
to cities, which in effect, returns monies collected in federal taxes to be
utilized at the local level. Revenue Sharing differs from other grant-in-aid
programs in that decisions on how the funds are spent are made locally,
within general program guidelines approved by congress.
CATEGORICAL GRANTS
Federal and state categorical grants-in-aid are funds provided to cities to
support various programs which have a national or state implication. If the
City qualifies according to federal and state regulations governing the grant,
funds will be received to carry out that specific program. Only those CETA
funds applicable to the City are shown under this general class.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT
These funds are provided to cities under the Community Development Act
of 1974. The primary objective of this grant is to help cities eliminate blight
and prevent deterioration of property, including housing, community
facilities, and the rational use of land and other natural resources. As
determined by formula, cities are entitled to funds and may expend them
according to program categories eligible under the Community Development
Act.
BONDS
Bonds may be issued by the City for capital projects or improvements upon
approval of the voters of Wichita Falls. These may be general obligation (tax
supported) bonds or revenue supported bonds in the amount approved by
the voting public.
