AGENDA ITEM NO.5.
Mayor Short opened the Public Hearing at 8:53 a.m.
Terry Floyd, Director of Development Services, discussed the rezone and land use
change at 4700 Gregg Rd., at the corner of Gregg Road and Southwest Parkway. This
will change 30.23 acres from Single Family 1 to Single Family 2, and 9.39 acres from
Single Family 1 to General Commercial. Doug McCulloch, the developer, plans to develop
commercial property along the 9.39 acres on the Southwest Parkway frontage and single-
family residential on the remainder of the site. The Planning and Zoning Commission
unanimously approved this rezone.
Councilor Battaglino stated that Mr. McCulloch has done a great job developing other
aesthetically pleasing properties along Southwest Parkway and asked what this new area
will look like.
Doug McCulloch said the new development will be named Memorial Heights to honor
Memorial Stadium and our veterans, and will be similar to the Bridge Creek area, where
a street will divide the single-family from the commercial property. Fast-food restaurants
and other commercial stand-alone buildings will be along the frontage of Southwest
Parkway, and residential homes will be behind that. On the west end, there are larger
areas that will be divided and could be used for public buildings.

PAGE 1 of 3
AGENDA ITEM NO.6.a
Dr. Williamson introduced Samantha Blair, Environmental Health Administrator. Samantha talked
about the new Body Art Ordinance revision. Why the revisions?
Last local ordinance update was 2017. We need to have a better flow and reflect changes in the
industry.
Samantha stated they had a process and many steps.
1) Sent out surveys to all body art stakeholders.
2) Two Board of Health Presentations.
a. Local regulations overview
b. State vs local comparison
3) Draft ordinance
4) Stakeholders Meetings
5) Revised Draft
They hand delivered an Ordinance Survey with a QR code and letter to every Body Art studio.
They had a 3 week response time and received 24 responses. The top complaints were the test they
are already permitted by the state and the price.
The Stakeholder meeting with 11 artists representing 4 shops, feedback was as follows:
1) They wanted stronger consequences for violations
2) They wanted to keep the program but lower fees.
3) There was varied feelings regarding the apprenticeship program.
Following the stakeholder's feedback we reworked the draft ordinance to no longer permit studios, but
continue to permit individuals. The apprentice program would be removed.
Dr. Williamson asked for any questions on the draft proposed ordinance and then asked for a motion
to support the ordinance. Motion was made by Dr. Harlan and seconded by Melissa Plowman. The
motion carried unanimously and will be forward with our endorsement to the City Council.
V. Epidemiology Team Brief— Measles
Amy introduced Brandi Smith, Assistant Director of Health, who was the Epidemiologist. Brandi spoke
about the Measles outbreak.
Measles spreads directly from person to person by inhalation of droplets or contact with infectious
secretions. It can be transmitted indirectly by objects contaminated with nasopharyngeal secretions.
The incubation period from exposure to onset of symptoms ranges from 7 to 21 days. It is most
communicable during the 3-4 days preceding the onset. Persons with measles have been shown to
shed the virus 4 days prior to rash onset.
There is an outbreak of measles in the South Plains and Panhandle regions of Texas. At this time,
309 cases have been identified since late January. Forty of the patients have been hospitalized.
There has been one fatality in a school-aged child who lived in the outbreak area. The child was not
vaccinated and had no known underlying conditions. DSHS updates its information for the public on
Tuesdays and Fridays.
There have been 8 Texas cases not associated with the outbreak in West Texas and 38 cases in New
Mexico and 4 in Oklahoma associated with the outbreak in West Texas.
Most of the cases are associated with international travel to a country where measles regularly spreads.
Vaccine: 2 doses: 1st dose at 12-15 months, 2nd dose 4-6 years.

PAGE 2 of 3
AGENDA ITEM NO.6.a
Brandi said we have a plan. We will be able to handle an outbreak if it comes to our Community.
We have everything ready from investigations, contact tracing, mass vaccination drive through, mass
flyers are ready and a press release is ready. Everything is ready if needed.
Amy spoke about the vaccination rate in school age kids. The rate is going down and we need to go
out and speak to the schools and preschools. We started an ambassador program for immunizations.
We go out and ask them to be vaccine ambassadors. They are the daycares schools and the Boys
and Girls Club. We do a lot of outreach. When we call them they know us and it makes a big difference.
Dr. Williamson stated very good information and conversation.

Action Plan
Mr. Barnett included in the meeting packet several examples of other MPO's that have

All (SS4A) Comprehensive Safety Action Plan (SAP) is vital for communities because it
prioritizes the prevention of traffic-related deaths and serious injuries, particularly
among vulnerable road users such as pedestrians, cyclists, children, older adults, and
people with disabilities.By identifying high-risk areas and implementing targeted safety
improvements, these plans enhance overall quality of life by promoting walkability,

ITEM/SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute an interlocal
cooperation agreement with Wichita County for the collection of ad
valorem taxes.
INITIATING DEPT: Finance
STRATEGIC GOAL: Financial Stewardship 3.0 Actively Engage and Inform the Public
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: 3.7 Practice Effective Governance
COMMENTARY: Wichita County serves as the Tax Assessor Collector for the City of
Wichita Falls. The County has proposed a new interlocal agreement which updates the
rate for these services for the first time in 10 years. The new agreement increases our
rate for these services from $1 .93 per parcel to $2.75. This increases the cost of these
services from $89,000 per year to $126,000. The increase in cost is due to the increased
cost of labor and postage over the last decade.
Staff recommends approval of the resolution.

ITEM/SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing the purchase of the replacement of two 16' X
18' Insulated Garage Doors by Tex-Oma Building Supply Company
in the amount of $66,200.00 at the Wichita Falls Central Services
Complex at 2100 Seymour Hwy.
INITIATING DEPT: Central Services / Fleet Maintenance
STRATEGIC GOAL: Actively Engage and Inform the Public
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: Practice Effective Governance
COMMENTARY: In the recent winds and storms the east and west garage doors of the
Central Services wash bay suffered severe and irreparable damage. The structure that
adheres the door frame to the concrete structure of the building has deteriorated to the
point that it must be replaced to safely mount the new door structure to. These doors are
vital to keeping the freezing weather out and preventing freezing of water lines that are
vital to the Central Services complex and services.
Tex-Oma Builders Supply Company has provided a quote to replace both doors and
mounting structure in the amount of $66,200.00. This will come from the Building
Maintenance account within Central Services/Fleet.
Staff recommends approval of the resolution.

Purchasing Cooperative from Berend Turf & Tractor, LP in the
amount of $51 ,874.26.
INITIATING DEPT: Central Services / Fleet Maintenance

COMMENTARY: The current year budget includes $51 ,874.26 to purchase two
individual 72" rear discharge mowers for the Parks Department. These will replace
existing units within the fleet that have reached their useful life cycle.
The City has purchased vehicles through a cooperative purchasing program for the past
several years. We have found this process to be cost effective not only in the initial
purchase but also for maintenance during the life of the product. By limiting the acceptable
models, we are able to maintain a limited parts inventory as well as inter-change
components when necessary.
Staff recommends approval of the resolution.

ITEM/SUBJECT: Ordinance approving the Funding Soundness Restoration Plan for
the Wichita Falls Firemen's Relief and Retirement Fund and
increasing the City's contribution rate to the fund from 17.5% to
18.0% as of January 1 , 2026.
INITIATING DEPT: Finance
STRATEGIC GOAL: Optimize Engagement with the City and City Services
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: ...robust employee recruitment and retention program
COMMENTARY: The Funding Soundness Restoration Plan (FSRP) will be submitted
to the Texas Pension Review Board (PRB) to comply with state requirements for public
retirement systems. In response to a 2024 notice from the PRB, the City has taken
significant steps to improve the financial health of the Wichita Falls Firemen's Relief and
Retirement Fund (WFFRRF), including a one-time $1 ,000,000 investment in December
2024 and an increase in its contribution rate from 16.5% to 17.5% in 2025. An updated
actuarial valuation shows these actions have reduced the plan's amortization period from
56.7 years to 36.7 years. After reviewing additional actuarial analysis, the board
determined that neither employee contribution increases nor benefit reductions were
appropriate at this time, due to PRB guidelines requiring boards to consider the impact of
these changes on members across all benefit tiers.
To continue progress toward long-term funding stability, the WFFRRF board has
requested the City to increase its contribution rate by 0.5% annually starting in 2026, as
needed, up to a maximum of 20% by 2030. These increases will continue as needed to
keep the funding period below 30 years. Based on actuarial analysis, this plan is projected
to achieve a 29.6-year amortization period, meeting current state guidelines.
Staff recommends approval of the ordinance.

Funding Soundness Restoration Plan
Wichita Falls Firemen's Relief and Retirement Fund (WFFRRF)
City of Wichita Falls
This Funding Soundness Restoration Plan (FSRP)is being provided to the Texas Pension Review
Board (PRB) to demonstrate compliance with the Texas Government Code and Texas
Administrative Code guidelines for public retirement systems. In August of 2024, the PRB
provided notice that our system was required to provide a new FSRP. We are submitting this
FSRP before September 1, 2025 in order to be eligible for the Revised FSRP Exemption under
Section 802.2015(d-1) of the Texas Government Code.
Since we received that letter the City of Wichita Falls made a one-time contribution of$1,000,000
to the retirement fund and increased future contributions to the plan from 16.5% to 17.5%. The
WFFRRF board then engaged Foster & Foster Actuaries and Consultants to provide an actuarial
valuation as of January 1, 2025 which showed that the amortization period had been reduced
from 56.7 years to 36.7 years.
The WFFRRF board also requested that Foster & Foster provide special actuarial analysis to
determine the impact of potential contribution and benefit changes. The board considered those
options with PRB Guideline 7 which states that "benefit decreases and contribution increases
should not be adopted without studying how the resulting normal costs compare to the
contribution rates of each tier, and board discussion of whether members in each tier will receive
a benefit that is worth more than their contributions." After reviewing the results of the actuarial
study, the board did not feel comfortable asking members in Tier 2 to increase their contributions
to a level that would be above the worth of the benefit. After reviewing potential reductions in
benefits, the board did not feel comfortable reducing any benefits as well for similar
reasons. Each year going forward, the board will review updated actuarial reports and reconsider
benefit changes that would help improve the funding soundness while maintaining a reasonable
benefit for its members.
The board appreciates the City's commitment to helping restore the funds soundness and has
requested the City increase its contribution rate by .5% each year until the 30 year amortization
is achieved up to 20% if needed. The board expects the contribution increases to reduce the
amortization period to less than 30 years.
The City commits to increase its contribution rate from 17.5% to 18.0% as of January 1, 2026 and
commits to increasing its contribution rate by .5% each year up as needed to achieve an
amortization period that is less than 30 years. This commitment extends up to 20.0% starting
January 1, 2030 if needed based on annual actuarial valuation results. Based upon the board's
recommendations, the City Council of the City of Wichita Falls approved this plan and an increase
of its contribution at its regular meeting on August 5, 2025 and approved this Funding Soundness
Restoration Plan.
In developing this plan, the board has consulted with its actuaries at Foster & Foster and they
have confirmed that the plan results in an amortization period of 29.6 years which is within the
guidelines for our plan at this time.
We appreciate the Pension Review Board and its oversight role in regard to actuarial soundness
and compliance with state reporting requirements. Please let us know if you need any additional
information or have any questions related to our updated plan.
