Mark Beauchamp ask about a smaller events like Art Walk might have a hard time meeting all the requirements. Amy said they already meet most of the requirements. All this does is add one person to coordinate that they know they need to come to us to do the temporary event. Prosecuting illegal food Vendors. Selling food online is hard for us to see the process but you need a permit to do this. We will work with people and walk them through the process. Everyone loves to sell tamales at Christmas, but they need to have a permit.

The subject property is located in the Residential Mixed Use (RMU) zoning district, surrounded by other vacant land. Mr. Hu advised staff sent notices to 38 surrounding property owners located within 200ft of the subject property and received 1 in favor response. With all potential impacts taken into consideration, staff recommends the approval of the proposed manufactured home at 414 Bonner Street subject to the following conditions: 1.

STAFF UPDATE Development Services Director, Terry Floyd, introduced Russell Schrieber, Director of Public Works to update the committee on the Subdivision Ordinance and Amendment Update Timeline. Also, this was considered an input session with public/development community; update regarding staffs progress. May 8, 2024: Planning and Zoning will present proposed ordinance amendments, which will begin the 60-day public comment period. July 10, 2024: Planning and Zoning consideration of ordinance amendments for recommendation of same to City Council. Late July/early August 2024: Council consideration of recommended ordinance amendments. On January 10, 2024 the Planning and Zoning Commission approved the new standard to meet House Bill 3699, which was a change in the planning requirements. On January 16, 2024 the city council approved the revisions to the development ordinance A, as it pertains to House Bill 3699. Today is our second input session. We did receive some feedback through email to the city staff in regards to the standards. Mr. Schreiber stated at the first review session there were 4 to 5 items discussed. The first item was review and consider changing the requirement for the purchase of unused city property (Easements/ROW). Allow the City to be more flexible with developers and/or property owners on a case-by-case basis. The second item was to consider modifying the Stormwater Manual. Change to TxDOT IDF curves for Wichita County. Modify the side slope for commercial The third item was review and consider minimum water and sewer pipe diameters. The fourth item was review and consider pavement design thickness. PAGE 7 of 8 AGENDA ITEM N0.7 c Planning and Zoning 8 April 17, 2024 The fifth item was review and consider modifications to Section 11 Variance in order to make it easier for developers to deviate from the standards. Mr. Schhreiber stated the internal staff wanted to bring two addition items to the table. Allow inline detention in the storm water manual when appropriate, as it will not chew up so much land. Consider allowing poly to be installed for service lines instead of brass. As you know brass is very expensive and this will reduce the cost of the service line installations. Item 1 Staff and Legal are investigating how to implement. (State statutes will apply) Items 2-4. Staff is researching similar policies and standards from other cities. Investigating current ordinance language. Seeking input from the local engineers. Item 5, Staff and Legal researched other cities' process and procedures. Proposed Variance conditions: • Will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare of the property or public. • Will not prevent the orderly subdivision of any property. • Engineering Report required. • Will not add operation and maintenance costs to the other tax payers. • Will substantially secure the objectives and maintain the spirit of the original standard.

INITIATING DEPT: Legal STRATEGIC GOAL: Actively Engage and Inform the Public STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: Practice Effective Governance COMMENTARY: Section 30.008 of the Texas Government Code authorizes the governing body to appoint one or more qualified persons to serve in the place and stead of the Municipal Judge during any period when the Judge is temporarily unable to act for any reason. Currently, the municipal court relies on two substitute judges, Mike Whalen and Dan Tompkins, who rotate weekend duties and fill in during the week when Judge Dockery is unavailable. However, the intricacies of the court's schedule and those of our substitute judges necessitate the appointment of a third substitute judge. To maintain the municipal court's efficiency, it's crucial to have sufficient coverage for judicial responsibilities during Judge Dockery's absences, whether due to planned leave, illness, or unexpected circumstances. Therefore, adding another substitute judge is essential to ensure uninterrupted court proceedings and timely delivery of justice in our community. Attorney Mary Brasher has expressed interest in serving as a substitute judge and meets all the requirements for a municipal judge. It is recommended that Ms. Brasher be appointed as Substitute Judge of the Municipal Court for two years beginning May 21 , 2024. ® City Attorney ASSOCIATED INFORMATION: Judge Dockery's recommendation for appointment; Ordinance ® Budget Office Review ® City Attorney Review ® City Manager Approval PAGE 1 OF 3 PAGES AGENDA ITEM NO. 8.A `NW1CH/ ( /� fir, two /y 611 BLUFF STREET WICHITA FALLS,TEXAS 76301 WWW WICHITAFALLSTX GOV (940)761-7880 May 8, 2024 To: Mayor Tim Short Councilor Mike Battaglino Councilor Jeff Browning Councilor Larry Nelson Councilor Michael Smith Councilor Tom Taylor Councilor Bobby Whiteley Re: Appointment: Mary Copeland Brasher Associate Judge, Municipal Court Reappointment: T.

INITIATING DEPT: Finance STRATEGIC GOAL: Actively Engage and Inform the Public STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: Continue Partnerships with Local Non-Profits COMMENTARY: In November of 2021 , the City Council adopted and approved the Texas Opioid Abatement Fund Council and Settlement Allocation Term Sheet which joined the settlement action. In March of 2023, we received $261 ,362 as a distribution of settlement funds. In April of 2024, the City received an additional $50,846 in Opioid Settlement Funding. This brings the total received so far to $312,208. Depending on the results of ongoing settlements more funds may be distributed in the future. The Texas Comptroller, who oversees the program, indicates that political subdivisions receiving these funds should spend these funds to address opioid-related harms in the community. One strategy that communities across the country are using to battle the deadly impact of Opioids is setting up vending machines which make a lifesaving drug called Naloxone, known more commonly by the brand name Narcan, easily available to the public. The machine allows people in our community who serve people who are at risk of overdosing, a place to receive Narcan which can be used to save the life of a person who is overdosing. Action Against Opioids of Wichita Falls is a group which is dedicated to fighting against the harmful effects of opioid abuse in our community. They are willing to purchase and operate vending machines which cost over $7,500 in strategic locations across Wichita Falls. Staff recommends using $3,000 of the Opioid Settlement funds we have received to assist with funding for the purchase of a Narcan vending machine. ® CFO/ Director of Finance ASSOCIATED INFORMATION: Resolution ® Budget Office Review ® City Attorney Review ® City Manager Approval PAGE 1 OF 3 PAGES AGENDA ITEM NO. 8.0 Ordinance No. Ordinance appropriating $3,000 of funding received from the Texas Opioid Abatement Settlement Funding to provide funding in assistance to Action Against Opioids for the purchase of a Naloxone Vending Machine WHEREAS, Opioid abuse has a deadly impact on the community; and WHEREAS, the City of Wichita Falls has received funding from the Texas Opioid Abatement Settlement; and WHEREAS, the City of Wichita Falls supports efforts to prevent or reduce deaths from opioid overdoses or other opioid-related harms, including through increasing the availability or distribution of naloxone or other opioid antagonists for use by health care providers, first responders, persons experiencing an opioid overdose, families, schools, community-based service providers, social workers, or other members of the public; and WHEREAS, Action Against Opioids of Wichita Falls is a nonprofit organization created to promote and raise awareness for the prevention of opioid use and addiction within Wichita Falls and the surrounding area; and WHEREAS, the City wishes to partner with Action Against Opioids to purchase Naloxone dispensing equipment in the community.

(Warren Cat) in an amount of $760,173.05. INITIATING DEPT: Aviation, Traffic, & Transportation STRATEGIC GOAL: Provide Quality Infrastructure STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: n/a COMMENTARY: The Landfill replaced their front-line compactor in 2023 in the amount of$1 ,420,840.57. Because of the compaction requirements, the Landfill operates two compactors in their inventory: one front-line unit and one backup unit. If the front- line unit is down for maintenance or repairs, the backup unit is needed to fulfill the required duties. The Fleet Maintenance and Landfill Divisions budgeted $650,000 for the overhaul of the back up compactor in the FY 24 budget. This purchase is exempt from the bid statute pursuant to Local Government Code §252.022 General Exemptions, "... (7) a procurement of ..... (A) items that are available from only one source because of patents, copyrights, secret processes, or natural monopolies. The backup compactor is a Caterpillar 836H unit rated at 120,000 lbs. of compaction. It is a 2013 model, and it has served the Landfill well over the years. However, an overhaul is required to keep the unit in service for another 10+ years. When complete, the overhauled unit will have a four-year/6,000-hour warranty, which is the same as a new unit. The unit will be stripped down to the frame, rebuilding the engine, transmission, drive train, and cab. In addition, the unit will receive new wiring harnesses. Warren Power and Machinery, LP has provided a quote of $760,173.05. As part of the overhaul, Fleet Maintenance has requested an overhaul of the hydraulic systems, as well, which increased the cost above the $650,000 budgeted amount. Fleet Maintenance will use savings in other accounts, such as fuel, to pay for the additional unbudgeted cost.

AOC N , .4**, PAGE 4 OF 4 PAGES AGENDA ITEM NO. 9.A CITY COUNCIL AGENDA May 21, 2024 ITEM/SUBJECT: A resolution replacing Resolution 112-89 related to requests for City services outside the City Limits INITIATING DEPT: City Manager's Office STRATEGIC GOAL: Accelerate Economic Growth STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: Identify and Expand Economic Development Opportunities COMMENTARY: The City Council in 1989 adopted the current policy on the extension of City water service to properties outside of the City limits (see attached). In general, this policy requires those seeking City water service to request voluntary annexation into the City limits prior to acquiring such service. However, the current policy does not contemplate situations where the request for service is for a propery near the City limits, but not adjacent to; in other words, a property that would also require the annexation of another property or properties that are adjacent to the City limits. In 2021 , the City Council approved a "waiver" to the current policy that provided water service to a tract on Hwy 79 that was not adjacent to the City limits (i.e. couldn't be annexed), in exchange for the property owner agreeing to be annexed as soon as the property was to become adjacent to the City limits in the future. The new proposed policy would effectively amend the 1989 policy to contemplate this scenario for future, similar occurances. In those scenarios, the property owner would still be required to pay twice the normal City rates for services until such time as the property were to be annexed. Additionally, the proposed new policy would incorporate similar requirements for request for City sewer and/or solid waste (trash) services. The proposed resolution regarding the usage of services outside the City Limits demonstrates a pragmatic approach to managing growth while maintaining control over essential infrastructure. By requiring voluntary annexation for extending water, sewer, and trash services, the City ensures responsible development and long-term sustainability. The policy strikes a balance between the needs of property owners and the City's obligations, offering clear guidelines for annexation processes and addressing scenarios of partial inclusion or non-contiguous properties. Additionally, the provision for industrial service users outside the City to contintue to enter into PILOT agreements offers flexibility while safeguarding the interests of current citizens. Overall, this resolution reflects a proactive stance towards growth management and infrastructure planning, fostering collaboration between the City and property owners for mutual benefit.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS: SECTION 1 . The following policy replacing resolution 112-89 is hereby established for the extension of water, sewer, and trash services: A. Purpose: This policy aims to regulate the extension of water, sewer, and trash services beyond the current City Limits. It aims to balance the needs of property owners with the City's responsibility to manage growth and maintain control over essential infrastructure. By requiring voluntary annexation for water extensions, sewer extensions, and trash service, the City can promote responsible development and ensure the long-term sustainability of its infrastructure. B. Scope: This Policy applies to all requests to extend water, sewer, and trash services to properties located outside the City Limits. C. Policy Statement: Water, sewer, and trash services shall not be extended beyond the existing City Limits unless the property owner voluntarily agrees to annex their property into the City. D. Applicability: This policy shall apply to residential, commercial, and industrial properties. The City of Wichita Falls may allow industrial service users outside the city limits to enter into a PILOT (Payment in Lieu of Taxes) agreement in lieu of voluntary annexation. Wholesale water users shall comply with all state laws. PAGE 6 OF 8 PAGES AGENDA ITEM NO. 9.B E. Voluntary Annexation Process: • Property owners seeking water, sewer, and trash services for properties located outside the City Limits must submit a formal request for annexation to the City Council as required by Tex.

Partial Inclusion of Property: • In cases of the City Limit bisecting the property that results in a partial inclusion of the property, no service line shall extend to serve any portion of the property outside the City Limits. Upon discovery, services may be suspended until such time the remainder of the property is annexed. G. Non-Contiguous Property: • In cases of property existing outside the City Limits and not contiguous to property within the City Limits, thus preventing annexation, water, sewer, and trash services may be extended with an agreement between the property owner and the City with the understanding that as soon as the property becomes contiguous and able to be lawfully annexed, the property shall have 60 days to petition for annexation. The agreement and any related documents shall be filed in the county land records and shall run with the property. Failure to comply will result in service termination. • Property owners outside the corporate City Limits shall pay two times the above the then-current rates. SECTION 2. This policy supersedes all other previous policies for the extension of water, sewer, and trash services outside the City Limits.

The cost of this unit has risen by $15,880 since we received quotes last year. We have costs savings from the Dispatch Workstation replacement project that will cover the cost increase. This unit maintains adequate temperature and humidity levels in a room that houses phone, server, and network equipment that are vital to the Public Safety's 911 operations. The current unit was originally installed when the facility was built over 20 years ago. We have had issues with refrigerant leaking and the internal components rusting. The lead time for the replacement unit is ten weeks.
