Moved by Councilor Browning to approve Resolution 66-2024. The motion was seconded by Councilor Nelson. Mark Southard, Utilities Operations Manager, stated that the current combined lake level is 79.4% and that although it takes Council action to come out of drought restrictions, restrictions are automatic at 65% combined lake levels. There was a brief discussion regarding concerns with lifting the restrictions, how lake levels drop approximately 1% per week from the middle of July through August, how, in the worst-case scenario, we would most likely not drop below 65%, and how water conservation is ingrained in our citizens.

Call to Order, Introductions and Welcome Chairperson Marcela Medellin called the meeting to order at 12:00 p.m. Ms. Medellin had Commission members, staff and guests introduce themselves. II. Review& Approval of Minutes from: March 5th, 2024 Chairperson Medellin called for review and approval of the March 5, 2024 Landmark Commission meeting minutes. Ms. Christy Graham made a motion to approve the minutes as presented, Mr. John Dickinson seconded the motion. Minutes were unanimously approved 6-0. Regular Agenda III. Action Item: Design Review— 1600 Tilden Replacement Roofing Using Alternate Materials: • Original Ludowici tile roof removed — no permits or design review authorization • Decra stone coated metal tile panels installed PAGE 1 of 7 AGENDA ITEM NO.6.a Landmark Commission 2 March 26,2024 Chairperson Medellin introduced the case. Ms. Montgomery-Gagne provided a design review history dating back to 2020 when an initial request regarding either full or partial replacement tile roof was processed. At that time, the Commission approved the original roof replacement in kind with smaller, mass produced Ludowici clay roofing tile for the entire roof surface. During the interim, staff checked with the owner regarding the roofing project and noted the design review approval would expire in August 2021. By January 31, 2024, staff were notified Building Inspection had denied a roofing permit for alternate materials as no design approval on file. During this time frame, staff emailed the owner inquiring about potential roofing work after the Building Inspection notification. Staff explained to the owner a new design review application would be triggered and must be submitted and reviewed by the Commission before an alternate roof could be installed. Owner provided information on February 13, 2024 from a Decra Metal Roofing advisor obtained Aug. 16, 2023 regarding national register projects utilizing Decra stone-coated metal tiles. By February 29th owner submitted design review application for processing at the March meeting. Staff discovered the roof was previously installed during email/ phone conversations with owner in late February. The roofing contractor (same since 2019 initial roof assessment; knew of historic district procedures) proceeded to install alternate roof materials void of permits and design authorization February 7-9. Staff also provided a photo timeline of changes to the roof for comparison to better visualize the difference in materials and determine if the alternate material was appropriate when considering local and national standards (profile, design, texture, etc.) Ms. Montgomery-Gagne researched national register cases, particularly in Texas where the Decra materials were being utilized to replace clay/terracotta tiles. The Dr. Pepper Museum in 2022/23 received a National Endowment for the Arts grant to replace the 1990's composite roof as the original terra cotta tile roof was destroyed by a 1953 tornado. Texas Historical Commission (THC) State Historic Preservation Officer(SHPO) indicated 'no adverse effects' for the proposed placement of Decra stone-coated metal tile on the museum's roof with the goal of honoring the original style of terra cotta roof from the early 1900s. Staff commented, for this case at 1600 Tilden, partially based on precedent in Texas and THC prior approval in a similar scenario, the replacement roof material(Decra metal tiles) appeared sufficiently similar in design, color, texture and visual qualities that it may be considered to meet the CWF Design Guidelines and be in keeping with the Sec. of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation. However, it was clearly noted that the process by which the substitute roofing material was installed was deemed inappropriate by staff based on both the owner and roofing company having prior experience in 2020 with the City's design review process. Discussion: Owner, Mr. Taber, brought a sample of the Decra stone-coated metal tile panel used for the roof replacement for staff and Commission review. He noted the original estimate received from Precision Roofing was $450,000 to replace the original tile roof with Ludowici handmade tiles. However, the home's value is approximately$290,000. It would have cost $200,000 to replace with Ludowici mass produced tile. Mr. & Mrs. Taber noted this has been a 3.5-4-year long battle with their insurance company to obtain approval and they finally settled for $100,000 to replace the entire roof. Previous owners had PAGE 2 of 7 AGENDA ITEM NO.6.a Landmark Commission 3 March 26,2024 replaced some sections of tile with Ludowici mass produced tile and there were issues with water intrusion. They had also repainted the whole roof a different color than the original tile to reduce the unsightly appearance of the mix of replacement tiles. Mr. Taber contacted representatives from the roofing company (Precision Roofing & Construction — North Richland Hills) and had worked with the same roofing company rep since 2019 through the original design review request for Ludowici replacement tile. The owner noted the roofing company said all approvals were in order so was very upset to discover they did not obtain any required approvals before starting the process of installation. He was also surprised that the permit had been denied. The roof has since been installed as of Feb. 7-9 and it was not the exact same texture, and appearance. However, the owners tried to utilize alternate materials that were similar in order to replicate the tile and prevent continued water leaks into their house. Since installation there have been heavy rains in the area and Mr. Taber reported they no longer experience leaks in his home. Ms. Ponder Smith asked if it would be easier to replace tiles with the Decra material and Mr. Taber confirmed that they were easier and less costly to replace and the roofing metal tiles are formed in sections that are now attached to the roof whereas before the terracotta tiles were all free floated. Ms. Medellin asked how the situation resulted in the roof already being installed. Discussion ensued and Mr. Taber stated he was told all approvals were in place until he spoke with staff and discovered no permits and no inspections were obtained. Ms. Derr said it looked good and had been approved by THC in other areas of historical significance. It was important that the roof function properly to protect the historic house and its investment. She stated no issues with the alternate material. Chairperson Medellin commented that the alternate material (stone coated metal tile panels) appears to meet the intent of the standards but had concerns about setting a precedent with future applicants replacing a roof without seeking proper approvals. Ms. Graham commented that if THC had previously approved use of the same material on a national register property as an alternate to replicate the appearance of terra cotta tile it should be acceptable for a residential situation. Public Comment: No one from the public requested to speak on this item. Ms. Ponder Smith outlined concerns about how approval would be viewed with this situation as the public may have the impression it is okay not to seek approval prior to initiating roof replacement, particularly if alternate materials are involved. Legal liaison, Ms. Aguon, pointed out there were multiple issues associated with this case from civil (potential breach of contract) to code/policy violations linked to the Building Code and Historic Preservation Ordinance for work void of permits, no inspections to ensure proper installation to disregard of standard process for permitting and design review. Additional discussion among staff, Commissioners and the applicant until the Chairperson called for consideration of a motion. PAGE 3 of 7 AGENDA ITEM NO.6.a Landmark Commission 4 March 26,2024 Ms. Derr introduced a motion regarding the Decra stone coated metal tile roof, previously installed without prior authorization, as a substitute roofing material in place of the Ludowici terracotta tiles, noting it was considered sufficiently similar in design, color, texture and visual qualities that it may be considered to meet the local and national standards. The existing Decra stone coated metal tile roof can remain on the house at 1600 Tilden. Mr. Lee seconded. Motion passed unanimously in a vote of 6-0. Staff indicated follow-up was required with the Building Inspection Department and citations may be pending. IV. Action Item: Design Review— 2908 10th Lapsed Design Review Case; Consider Extension: • Metal/Wood Carport; Partially Constructed; No Building Permits • Design Review Expired November 23, 2023 Chairperson Medellin introduced the case. Staff provided an overview noting the owner was unable to complete work on the carport due to family and financial circumstances. However, when the owner did initiate work, it was beyond the design review approval period (1 year) and without any building permits. A stop work order was issued by Building Inspection staff on March 4/24. Staff indicated the situation needed to be resolved by working with the owner to avoid continued complaints and reduce negative impacts to the district's architectural character. Staff outlined three options to potentially address the situation: 1. Require new design review application—start process over from beginning; carport may or may not be approved. 2. Consider case circumstances and owner request for an extension of the lapsed design review approval (4 months)in an effort to work with owner to address problem of unfinished accessory structure which sets a precedent and impacts the northern section of the district. 3. Commission opts to do nothing as allotted window of time/approvals have expired. Carport in violation as not completed, no building permit can be issued when out of compliance with CWF Design Review Guidelines. Citations may accrue and long-term result-carport removal. Staff had considered Option #2 for an extension. However, legal interpretation of the Code of Ordinances Chapter 62 (Historic Preservation Ord.) did not provide an option for extension beyond 30-days of expiration. The owner was present and provided additional background while answering questions from Commissioners. Mr. Lee asked if the front of the carport would still resemble the historic house above the fence line. Mr. Rico said the carport would still look like the house with metal framework under wood. The owner commented he was previously told a sheet metal roof was not allowed so he intended to use asphalt shingles instead and to try to make it look nice. Mr. Rico indicated the front of the carport facing 10th St. would look similar to the front façade of his house having wood panels, wood covered metal framework, and roof to match. The owner is trying to improve the property and would like to finish construction on the carport. PAGE 4 of 7 AGENDA ITEM NO.6.a Landmark Commission 5 March 26, 2024 Legal department indicated too much time had lapsed since the design review expiration. The Commission could consider authorizing a new design review application to address the existing carport. Discussion ensued and there were concerns with addressing the partially constructed carport in a timely manner. Staff developed a draft resolution for Commission consideration setting a 30-day deadline for the owner to act with submitting a new design review application(Option#1). Ms. Aguon provided a legal point of order, noting a 30-day submission timeline avoids the owner accruing additional citations which could be accrued daily. This option essentially provides a set time line and a grace period for the owner to address outstanding issues. Ms. Derr asked if the Commission can adopt the draft resolution. Staff indicated, yes, if that's the Commission's preference. Chairperson Medellin called for public comments; there were none. Ms. Graham introduced a motion for a Resolution providing for a 30-day deadline (April 26, 2024)for the owner(Mr. Alejandro Rico) of 2908 10th Street to submit a new design review application for major alteration to the exterior of the property, namely, the construction of a carport that will be considered by the Landmark Commission. Ms. Derr seconded the motion. Motion and Resolution (Attachment 'A') passed unanimously in a vote of 6-0. V. Action Item: Design Review— 1615 Tilden Install New Wood Screen Door at Main Entry on Tilden Façade: • Custom-made, period oak stained door • Evidence of prior outer entry door Chairperson Medellin introduced the case. Ms. Montgomery-Gagne explained the owner was seeking installation of a new custom wood (oak stained) screened door at the front entry to fit the existing opening (approximately 84%"x40"). Photo evidence provided of prior screen door based on cut-outs for hinges in the framework and a removed strike plate. Staff recommended the proposal as it was in keeping with the CWF Design Review Guidelines; no original components would be altered or removed and it was returning a missing element from prior decades as closely as possible to fit the colonial style of the house. The owner, Barry Hanks, was present and provided a detailed overview and reasoning for the request at his home on 1615 Tilden St. He moved into the home in 2000 and over the years found with the entry on the west façade the sun faded and aged the front door. He had searched for years for an appropriate replacement screen door that would protect the integrity of the original entry door. His neighbor had mentioned that Greg York who resides in the historic district could make a custom screen door. Mr. Hanks researched existing screen doors in the West Floral Heights historic district that were colonial, prairie and tudor styles and came up with three options (photos in meeting packet). Mr. Hanks discussed the concept with Mr. York who was confident he could build a screen door to suit his and the Commission's design requirements. PAGE 5 of 7 AGENDA ITEM NO.6.a Landmark Commission 6 March 26, 2024 Ms. Ponder Smith inquired about the style and Mr. Hanks indicated the door would be similar to 1600 Grant (Tudor style) with large 1" grate screen on the bottom half along with a 14" wood kickboard. Ms. Derr asked if the kickboard would address the fading issue with the main door? Mr. Hanks indicated it would help plus the screen door would have auto closures so the wind wouldn't catch it. Councilor Smith was curious about the estimated cost only being $200-$300. Mr. Hanks explained he'd only be paying for primary wood costs as he was gifting his unused wood-working tools as partial payment to his friend Mr. York. Mr. Hanks stated he no longer utilized the saws/equipment and it could be better served by someone else. Ms. Graham introduced a motion to approve the installation of a new custom-made period oak (red-oak stained; polyurethane coated) screen door to the front entry of the house at 1615 Tilden Ave. Mr. Lee seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously in a vote of 6-0. VI.

MAYOR ATTEST: City Clerk PAGE 2 OF 2 PAGES AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.D CITY COUNCIL AGENDA June 18, 2024 ITEM/SUBJECT: Public hearing and resolution of no objection from the City of Wichita Falls for an application from OPG Sun Valley Apartments, LP. to the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs for 2024 Housing Tax Credits at 1315 E. Central Fwy., Wichita Falls for acquisition/redevelopment of property by developer Overland Property Group and NORTEX Housing Finance Corporation; and authorizing City Manager to enter into a Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) agreement. INITIATING DEPT: Development Services/Planning STRATEGIC GOAL: Accelerate Economic Growth STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: Identify and Expand Economic Development Opportunities COMMENTARY: Approval of the following Resolution and Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) agreement will assist in facilitating a $23.5 million renovation to the Sun Valley Apartments (1315 E. Central Fwy). This private reinvestment this property equates to approximately $50,000 per unit in improvements. OPG is committed to make the following exterior improvements/renovations at Sun Valley Apartments, LP: • provide playground equipment, • addition of a camera/surveillance system, • asphalt repair, • new signage, • window replacement, • improved exterior lighting, and • new exterior siding Other amenities include: • upgrading the commons building with an activity area to serve as an after-school homework/tutoring location, • updated landscaping and improved perimeter fencing Critical renovations for each unit: • full replacement of kitchens, • bathroom upgrade, • incorporate Energy Star lighting & appliances, • drywall, and paint PAGE 1 OF 17 PAGES AGENDA ITEM NO. 8.A On January 12, 2024, the City received a request from Overland Property Group (OPG - based in Kansas) indicating they were making application for non-competitive housing tax credits with TDHCA (Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs). This Housing Tax Credit Program provides relief from federal tax liability for the development of affordable housing. OPG's redevelopment strategy is to acquire and rehabilitate the Sun Valley Apartments (1315 E. Central Fwy.) utilizing a FHA 221(d)4 HUD insured loan, bonds and the 4% tax credits issued by TDHCA. OPG is partnering with Nortex HFC who is issuing tax-exempt housing finance bonds in order to assist in making a substantial rehabilitation to the Sun Valley apartments economically feasible. Nortex HFC will retain ownership of both the land and improvements (buildings) as the general partner who is a tax-exempt entity under the Texas Local Government Code (Sec. 394.905). They will enter into a long-term lease with the secondary partner being OPG who will commit to the renovations and management of the complex. OPG was formed in 2003 with a relationship-driven approach to consistently deliver quality multi-family residential rental properties utilizing various rental or other subsidies under the National Housing Act, along with state low-income housing tax credit utilizing 4% and 9% programs. OPG has over a decade of experience in Wichita Falls having constructed three affordable housing projects, partnered with the city on expansion of Maplewood Drive and successfully completed a residential historic-rehab in downtown. Built in 1971, the 132-unit complex contains 16 buildings; all units receive housing choice assistance through HUD. This proposal is for substantial renovation and recapitalization in order to preserve the quality and minimum standards of the affordable housing units. As of June 2024, the property was operating at 100% occupancy. The Wichita Co. Appraisal District records show the property/buildings with a 2024 assessed value of $2.85 million. Based on OPG's proposed development schedule, the facility acquisition is anticipated in August of this year, and project construction will commence in September, with rehab anticipated over a 12-14-month period. The project is projected to be completed in early 2025. The tenants will remain at the complex during the renovation, and prior to re- occupying renovated units, tenants will be required to pass background screening. By supporting this project, no local taxing entity would receive future property tax revenues from Sun Valley over the next 20 years during the tax credit period. According to 2024 tax appraisal data, the complex contributed $19,366.40 in city taxes with total annual taxes of$67,350.04. Nortex HFC, founded 1995, provides a means to finance the cost of residential ownership and development that will provide decent, safe and sanitary housing at affordable prices. Nortex HFC has issued multi-family bonds/loans for acquisition and rehabilitation of other local multi-family affordable apartment complexes: Woodview (320 units), Washington Village (96 units), and Parkstone Phase II (64 units). Staff recommends approval of this resolution of no objection and authorize entering into a 20-year PILOT agreement (refer to Exhibit F) for the substantial redevelopment project PAGE 2 OF 17 PAGES AGENDA ITEM NO. 8.A based on level of reinvestment (hard construction/soft costs) in the range of $24 million coupled with a need for quality, affordable housing options. The owners agree to make 20 annual payments to City based on the payment amounts outlined in the agreement at a 3% annual increase. This would be just over $500,000 in payment totals over the 20- year period. In the event that the owners continue to own the property for more than 20 years, they will continue to make annual PILOT payments to City based upon a continuation of the 3% annual increase. These reinvestment projects would not happen without the tax exemption off-set under the ownership structure of Nortex HFC making them financially feasible. The resolution does not include any additional commitments from City of Wichita Falls. ® Principal Planner ® Development Services Director ® Assistant City Manager ASSOCIATED INFORMATION: Resolution, Exhibit A - Location Map; Exhibit B - Aerial Site Plan; Exhibit C— Photos/Site Plan Existing Complex; Exhibit D— Sample Photo/Floor Plan Renovated Complex; Exhibit E — NORTEX HFC Overview; Exhibit F - Payment-in- Lieu-of-Tax Agreement ® Budget Office Review: ® City Attorney Review: ® City Manager Approval PAGE 3 OF 17 PAGES AGENDA ITEM NO. 8.A Resolution No. Public hearing and resolution of no objection from the City of Wichita Falls for an application from OPG Sun Valley Apartments, LP. to the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs for 2024 Housing Tax Credits at 1315 E.

An HFC is authorized by the Texas Local Government Code, Chapter 394, "to provide a means to finance the cost of residential ownership and development that will provide decent, safe, and sanitary housing at affordable prices for residents of local governments". Actions have included issuing single family mortgage revenue bonds, special down payment assistance finance, multifamily housing bonds, and loans for the development of multifamily units. To date, several thousand home owner families and apartment dwellers in the local region have been assisted by the actions of the NORTEX HFC. Mortgage revenue bond loans that operated several years ago were fixed rate 30-year loans that required financial qualification by the homebuyers. Eligible homebuyers could then have family incomes up to $65,000, depending on family size, essentially a moderate-income program. NORTEX programs are available to eleven counties—Archer, Baylor, Clay, Cottle, Foard, Hardeman, Jack, Montague,Wichita,Wilbarger, and Young.This includes the citizens of the City of Wichita Falls and Vernon. These governmental units have no financial liability for the HFC programs. The counties' responsibilities include the confirmation of Board appointments and the approval of bond issues. The HFC is considered to be an instrumentality of local government.

MAYOR ATTEST: City Clerk PAGE 4 OF 4 PAGES AGENDA ITEM NO. 8.B CITY COUNCIL AGENDA June 18, 2024 ITEM/SUBJECT: Resolution announcing the termination of Stage 1 Drought Watch water restrictions and the resumption of the regular water conservation measures described in Section 106-186(a) of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Wichita Falls. INITIATING DEPT: Mayor COMMENTARY: The watersheds of all water supply reservoirs received significant rain fall during the month of May. Precipitation amounts varied across the watersheds; however, enough runoff was generated to increase the combined capacities of Lakes Arrowhead and Kickapoo by nearly 25%, to 79.1% as of Monday, June 10th. This combined capacity would place the City above Stage 1 (65%) of the City's water conservation ordinance. The City has been under Stage 1 water conservation measures since January of 2023. With the recent rain events and the increase in reservoir capacities, it would seem appropriate to consider removal of the Stage 1 water restrictions currently in place. City staff has had internal discussion regarding this issue and has also sought the input of the Water Resources Commission. The general consensus was to terminate Stage 1 water restrictions when the combined lake levels were at, or above 78% combined capacity. The water conservation ordinance requires the vote of the council to terminate each stage of the water conservation ordinance. A resolution for your consideration is attached to end Stage 1 water restrictions of the City's water conservation plan. ® Public Works Director ASSOCIATED INFORMATION: Resolution ® Budget Office Review ® City Attorney Review ® City Manager Approval PAGE 1 OF 2 PAGES AGENDA ITEM NO. 8.0 Resolution No. Resolution announcing the termination of Stage 1 Drought Watch water restrictions and the resumption of the regular water conservation measures described in Section 106-186(a) of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Wichita Falls WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 106-186(i) of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Wichita Falls, the Director of Public Works shall declare that each water restriction trigger level has been reached and that the water use restrictions for each respective stage are in effect. The restrictions will remain in effect until the lakes rise to a level that, when combined with the long-term forecast, assures the City an adequate supply of water; and, WHEREAS, the City Council, by majority vote, and after consultation with the Director of Public Works, shall announce the termination of each respective stage of restrictions that are triggered by lake levels; and, WHEREAS, due to recent rains, the combined totals of Lakes Arrowhead and Kickapoo have risen to a level that, when combined with a long-term forecast, assures the City an adequate supply of water to allow for the lessening of water restrictions. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS, THAT: The City Council hereby announces the termination of Stage 1 water restrictions and resumes regular water conservation measures listed in Section 106-186 (a) of the Code of Ordinances until further official notice.

ATTACHMENTS: 1. 2024 Financial Report 2. List of approved/pending projects/payments in FY 2024 2. Current Downtown Improvement Grant Guidelines Staff Summary: For a number of years,the Corporation has included in its budget up to$100,000 to assist in historic preservation and the renovation of the older buildings and property in the downtown core (i.e. "4B Eligible Area"). Eligible projects can receive up to a 50% match, not to exceed $12,500. Eligible projects include, but are not limited to, facades (roof, foundation, windows, paint, etc), signage, landscaping, interior wiring and plumbing, sidewalk replacement, and ADA improvements. Payment is made only after the project is complete and costs have been "proved up." These projects have historically been managed by City staff, administratively approved, and, more recently, ratified by the Board (consent agenda) and City Council (approval of minutes). In October 2022,the Board approved increasing the maximum grant amount from$5,000 per address per year to $12,500. As of May 2024, payments for eligible project in the current fiscal year have exceeded the budgeted amount of $100,000, and there is the possibility of another$125,000 in eligible reimbursements yet to be made (see attached report). As such, the request is to amend the budget to increase the line item for the current fiscal year from $100,000 to $250,000. Staff recommends approval. If approved by the Board, the City Council will consider the same on June 18.
