PAGE 1 of 4
AGENDA ITEM NO.5.
Jeffery Jenkins, City Manager, discussed the proposed budget, emphasizing its focus on
supporting staff and aligning salaries with market rates. The budget includes the addition
of a Wildfire Coordinator, Building Maintenance Supervisor, Employee Relations
Coordinator, an additional Police Officer to assist with the homeless, and a Graphic
Design Specialist who will also serve as Webmaster. He also outlined proposed utility
rate increases and requested Council input.
Stephen Calvert, Finance Director/CFO, presented highlights of the FY 2026 Proposed
Budget, which includes a property tax rate reduction from $0.6848 to $0.6825, $34.5
million in capital expenditures, and enhanced employee pay, benefits, resources, and
training to support recruitment and retention. Certified property valuations increased by
3.73%, with a five-year average annual growth of 7.89%. The current tax rate is $0.6848,
compared to the no-new-revenue rate of $0.662791 and the voter-approval rate of
$0.708873. The l&S rate was reduced due to low debt levels. Inflation is approximately
2%, while employee costs for local governments have risen by 4% over last year. All fund
balances exceed the policy threshold of 20%, and reserves remain healthy even after
accounting for amounts restricted by law, contract, or designation. The Water and Sewer
Debt Service Fund holds $11 million, sufficient to cover final debt payments in FY 2026
and FY 2027.
Mr. Calvert provided an overview of the General Fund, noting that property and sales
taxes are the primary revenue sources, with personnel as the largest expenditure. He
reported that the City's tax levy is 24% lower than comparable cities, many of which are
raising taxes despite higher assessed values, and emphasized that property appraisals
are determined by the Appraisal District, not the City. He reviewed property tax
exemptions, including the child care facility exemption adopted last year, and outlined
November ballot propositions that could increase business personal property tax
exemptions, if passed. General Fund operating revenues have increased 2.71%, with
consolidated revenues up 4.67%. The budget provides a 10% pay increase for Fire Civil
Service employees, an 8% pay increase for Police Civil Service employees, and a 6% cost-of-
living adjustment for all other employees. The budget also includes increased incentive and
assignment pay for civil service employees and funding for an updated compensation study.
Christi Klyn, Human Resources Director, stated that progress is being made to catch up
to the market average for pay of our peer cities, and that is reflected in our recruitments
and application counts. She stated that hourly positions are 10% behind the market
average, salaried employees 5%, Fire 18%, Police 10%, and Directors 10%, and this is
before the proposed 6% cost-of-living adjustment.
Mr. Calvert reviewed current expenditures for personnel, training, public safety, and
technology enhancements, noting the reduction in the TMRS vesting period from ten
years to five. A brief discussion was held regarding the addition of employee uniforms for
the Parks, Water, and Sewer departments. General Fund expenditures are approximately
5% higher, primarily due to personnel costs, which are partially offset by the vacancy
allowance. He also outlined capital improvement projects across various departments.

AGENDA ITEM NO.5.
Mr. Calvert discussed the Water and Sewer Fund, with service charges providing for 98%
of the revenue, with personnel services, debt expenditures, and capital expenditures
being the largest costs. The proposed budget includes a 2% rate increase, equating to
approximately $2.17 for an average residential customer. Rates are comparable to peer
cities, some of which are proposing higher increases. He discussed various retail rate
options, noting that increasing the rate makes more money available for future capital
needs and reduces future increases needed due to inflation. Decreasing the rates lowers
the cost of services for residents, but reduces funds available for identified capital needs
projects.
Russell Schreiber, Director of Public Works, outlined $33.9 million in capital improvement
projects, including the Cypress 61 Treatment Plant refurbishments, large distribution main
expansion and replacement, pump station upgrades, and pressure maintenance facilities.
He noted that the anticipated Business Park expansion would require improvements to
the eastern pressure plant and that it would take three to five years to complete all of
these projects. With the debt payments rolling off, there is a two- to three-year window to
complete these improvements before issuing debt for the Lake Ringgold project.
Mr. Calvert reviewed the Sanitation Fund, which is primarily supported by service
charges, with personnel, internal charges, and capital expenditures being the primary
expenses. Sanitation rates are 13.9% below the average of comparable cities, and we
provide twice-weekly service, with only four other cities providing the same level of
service. Lower rates are attributed in part to the City's ownership and operation of the
landfill and transfer station. The proposed budget includes a 2% rate increase and
$4,905,251 in capital expenditures. A brief discussion followed regarding the age of the
sanitation fleet and the need to replace multiple units.
Mr. Calvert presented an overview of the Stormwater, Transportation, Recreational,
Economic Impact, Internal Service, and Special Revenue Funds. He outlined the next
steps in the budget process, including a public hearing on the budget and intent to vote
on the proposed tax rate on August 19, 2025, followed by a public hearing on the tax rate
and adoption of the budget and tax rate on September 2, 2025.
Mayor Short adjourned the meeting for a short break at 9:44 a.m. and reconvened at 9:56
a.m. Councilor Flack left the meeting at 9:45 a.m.

IV. NEW BUSINESS
A. Shelter Update
Ms. Bacon begins by stating we had a total of 3,048 animals come into the shelter in 2023. The
total return to owner was 605, which made up 24% of the live outcome rate. Total transfer to
rescue was 521 animals, meaning 210 o of our live outcome rate. Total adoptions for 2023 was
377 which was 15%of our live outcome rate. Total animals that were euthanized was 994,which
made up 40°'o of our outcome rate. Our total live outcome rate for 2023 was 60°0, meaning total
animals that left our shelter live.
PAGE 1 of 6
AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.a
The Animal Services Advisory Committee (ASAC) Minutes
Date: April 4th, 2025
The 2024 numbers were slightly better. Total animals that came into the shelter were 3,419, over
350 more than the year prior. Total return to owner was 621 which made 25%. Total transfer to
rescue was 661 which was 26°0. The total adopted was 378 which made up 15%.
The total euthanized were 872.
Ms. Bacon verifies that the euthanasia numbers do not include feral euthanized or owner
requests, as those are a service we provide so, they do not count against our live outcome rate.
Our live outcome rate total for 2024 was 66°o.
Which broke down is a 1°o increase for return to owner. There was a 5% increase for animals
transferred to rescue. Adoptions had no change as it stayed at 15%. Lastly,we euthanized 6°,0
less animals in 2024 compared to 2023 and 6°o percent may not sound like a lot but when you
calculate those animals out of 3,419 it is a lot.
Ms. Bacon continues by going over the 2025 stack up, which includes 2025 so far.
Last year we brought in at this time 742 animals, and this year at this time we have brought in
700 (these numbers are Jan -Mar). Our adoptions are up 4% from last year. Our transfer to
rescue is down 4°o from last year but, our return to owner is up 2% from last year. In addition to
our euthanisia being down 2°o from last year.
At this time the numbers are looking very good. The adoptions have skyrocketed. Last week we
had 17 total adoptions in one week. The week prior to that we had 12 adoptions.
Percent wise our total return to owner as of right now is at 28%. Total transfer to rescue is at
26%. Total euthanized is 29%and total adoptions are at 17! .
Leading to our total live outcome rate as of right now is 71%, last year at this time it was 69°o
so, we are already showing a 2% increase.
Ms. Bacon asks if there are any questions. There are none
B. Above Current Budget
Ms. Bacon states this year we are proposing to add a new position, this position is an existing
position but we are asking for a secondary. That being for an Animal Care Specialist, which
currently Paige Morgan is in that position.
We currently really struggle at the front desk, we currently have two senior admin clerks who in
theory work at the front desk. We also have our Animal Care Specialist Paige and Animal Care
and Adoption Supervisor Diann, they do owner surrender appointments with people, they do our
adoptions, and they have to use the front desk to do that as well. With that being said, if we had
somebody that is out, absent, or on vacation, being one of the sr admin clerks, the Animal Care
PAGE 2 of 6
AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.a
The Animal Services Advisory Committee (ASAC) Minutes
Date: April 4th, 2025
Team has to step in. Well it happens all too often than not, people get sick, people need to take
their vacations, things happen. What we are seeing right now is our Animal Care specialist is not
able to complete her duties fully. She is unable to give enrichment to the animals, in other words
she is not able to give that "animal care"portion that her job is assigned to.
She is basically having to fill in where we have right now. We only have one sr admin clerk,
which we have been short of the secondary sr admin clerk for about 6 months, and that has put
her behind on her work as well. Her job's main function is to do vaccinations on intake.
If you haven't heard down in Forth Worth there is an outbreak of distemper so vaccination on
intake is so crucial, especially in a shelter environment. When we have disease spread we have to
make sure that things are getting done properly. As she is having to help out at the front desk ,
when we have 50 people coming in at one time, it's really hard for her to do her job.
So Ms. Bacon is proposing this secondary position that way they can do their animal care
specialist duties, they can give the animals the time and attention they need. In addition, we
would also have someone who can focus on social media. Amy Fagan has done an experiment
lately where she has really gotten on our social media and liked and/or commented to people on
their reactions to things.
Mrs. Fagan takes over to talk about her experiment. She states she is a scientist by nature and did
this without the team's knowledge as a control group so,we in turn do not do anything different.
She decided on the evenings and weekends during her free time she would go in as Animal
Services and like, love, share, etc. Even going into the "Rants and Raves" facebook group, where
people would say"Dont take them into animal services they are killers" then engage with people
as us.
Then she chose 3 dogs, one being Black Jack, and all three got adopted within a week with all
this engagement. Our engagements typically within a 28 day span are usually around 200
thousand, they now as of yesterday are over half a million. So when she came in here and let
everyone know what she had been doing and then seeing adoption numbers rise was great.
Correlation between the two probably yes, causation maybe no but, that's enough for us to say
people have different expectations now. They expect that you're on social media, they expect that
you engage, that you answer questions, and respond to messenger messages.
Having someone being able to do that will help us look like we care more, cause this team cares
more than anybody in the world but, people are looking for that validation through facebook.
Really looking to us to talk through that with them as a platform if you will.

Mrs. Fagan continues; Black Jack is one of the dogs that got shared 241 times which is amazing
but very unusual for us. This dog then got adopted and then the owner went back in the
comments and commented his new name with a cute photo.
Some of the other departments across the state do this cute thing where they will post a dog who
came into the facility terribly looking and dejected and all the sad poses. Then they post the
before and after so, now they are gorgeous and happy and life is great!
Those posts are super impactful. Sometimes we get the reputation of we just get the "left overs"
or we don't have the"cute" animals or our animals have diseases. We have heard it all. This team
works so hard to stand against that by having healthy animals who thrive and that we don't have
to euthanize. We also have fosters now who take care of our sick or abused animals, which is
amazing. So, being able to show those before and after would be great. We have also talked
about putting up a"Win Wall". When you would go in and look at dogs you could see other
successful animals. When an animal is here and sad and looks terrible, you may not see the
possibilities of what is or could be. Mrs. Fagan states she strongly believes that if we have this
other position it would help out in doing all these things.
Mrs. Fagan states that last year she made the same proposal to the city manager, it went from
Nicki to her to the city manager, who at the time was Darrron Leiker and he did not choose to put
it forward to city council. So, she was able to defend it to council but, in his budget that came out
immediately after it never made it to where council could make a decision on it.
Right now this year, we have a new city manager appointed and we have our current interim city
manager. It is going to be a very interesting time figuring out who makes those choices because
the new city manager will start in June. At this time we do not know what the priorities will be or
how much directors will be listened to and what they are asking for.
She continues by saying that she has been able to have lunch with him (the new city manager)
and he seemed very nice and likes animals! What is needed from all of us is if you know a
councilor or if you're comfortable with making those phone calls, this is normally not
encouraged but, this is the time as committee members if you know someone or can make that
ask. "Hey they need another person"or"Hey this is the work they are doing", etc. Mrs. Fagan
believes that sometimes we do such a great job that we are not on the "list". For example, the
things that get negative attention like code enforcement, as she heard the other day during a
strategic planning meeting that code enforcement needs more resources. Animal Services also
needs more resources but, because we have absolutely cut down on the number of complaints,
doing better with our responsiveness in the field (as we finally have staff that have been here
longer than a year), we are doing a great job in the kennels, we don't get that negative attention.
Sometimes money gets put where the negative attention is, we are not willing to be negative but,
a new way will have to be figured out to make sure our requests make it at least to the council so
PAGE 4 of 6
AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.a
The Animal Services Advisory Committee (ASAC) Minutes
Date: April 4th, 2025
that council can make that decision. Again as a committee if anyone knows anyone that has that
decision making authority or your comfortable emailing your councilor as a member of ASAC,
Mrs. Fagan would encourage you to reach out to them. It has been frowned upon in the past to
reach out towards council for this but she has told them many times that the staff do great but
they are suffering. Having additional people to correspond with would help.
Dr Bryan Wade asks as he lives in Lakeside City he does not have a City Councilor, is there a list
of people he is able to contact?
Mrs Fagan responds that the list is on the city's website and there is a list of mayor and council.
Additionally even if you do not live within city limits they will still listen, we have people come
to council who live in Burk and even who live in Oklahoma to talk about our own taxes.
Michelle Pohlman states the office is in her district which is over by the base.
Mrs Fagan states that that section is Councilor Taylor district. He was also on our side last year
during the budget process, the issue becomes where traditionally the city manager makes those
decisions. During Mrs. Fagan 26 years of being with the city she has never seen the council want
to add something back in after the city manager has brought out the budget. It's usually that the
city manager, in this form of government, really makes sure that that person is reflecting what
the council wants. So, we are just trying to figure out how to move forward in this very odd
environment. Again, it would be nice to have the support from the committee as this committee
is appointed by them and it matters.
Ms. Bacon adds this new position would also give us more resources to go to Petco and Petsmart
and have animals out there for adoption. This position would be like a coordinator, somebody
that would help us get more education out to our volunteers and to our citizens.
Ms. Bacon asks if anyone else has any questions
C. REVIEW & APPROVAL OF SEPTEMBER MINUTES

V. REGULAR AGENDA
2
PAGE 2 of 7
AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.c
Chairman Woodward declared a public meeting open, at 2:02 for the
discussion for Text Amendment 25-01.
TA 25-01 — Public Hearing to discuss the proposed boundary and text
amendments to the Code of Ordinances,Appendix B—Zoning Ordinances, for
the creation of the Heart of the Falls Overlay District. Request to allow for a
carport in the required front setback in the Single Family -2 (SF-2) zoning
district.
Ms. Christal Cates stated that nothing that they are doing has changed from
the last presentation that was made to the Commission. She explained that
staff did want to use this platform to have another public meeting, so any
citizens with questions or concerns about the proposed amendments could
have an opportunity to come forth.
Mr. Fabian Medellin interjected to inform the Commission that because some
non-traditional engagement efforts did not have the responses that staff had
hoped for from some of the neighborhood park meetings that were held.
Because of that, staff has decided to go back to a more traditional notification
process. Staff has moved some funds around internally to be able to mail out
notices of all of the 2800 property owners within the Neighborhood
Revitalization area. To give them this opportunity as well as an opportunity at
the parks, and at the meeting that will be at the library on Thursday July 15th at
6:00. We are having this public hearing, no actions to be taken, for any
community members that want to become more informed of what will be
happening.
Ms. Cates continued stating that the feedback so far has all been positive, and
have had some great feedback from the residents. City staff have put a great
deal of information out for this not only through our planned meetings and
events, but also through advertising, public announcements, a press release,
and we have zoning input forms that residents can access on our city website.
All in hopes of getting feedback and spreading information to our residents.
The main discussion is the creation of a special overlay district. We have our
historic districts that are similar to what is being proposed, of having an overlay.
She presented a slide showing the boundaries, which are the same as the
Heart of the Falls Revitalization area. Ms. Cates said that we feel that relaxing
some of the requirements will help spark revitalization in that area, by
streamlining the process and to help make development easier.
She stated that the Neighborhood Empowerment Zone plan was approved by
the City Council on June 3rd, so that is active now. We already have some
individuals filling out applications now, and should be receiving those
application back sometime in the week.
3
PAGE 3 of 7
AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.c
Some of the key elements for the proposal are:
• Eliminate parking requirements for all non-residential uses.
• Eliminate the 10,000 sf. Minimum lot size requirements for Accessory
Dwelling Units (ADU"S)
• Require 1 parking stall for Accessory Swelling Units (ADU'S)
• Allow for alternative paving material, e.g., gravel, for accessory
dwelling unit parking requirements.
• Amend setback requirements to both residential and nonresidential
uses fitting with the current built environment to allow for the
expansion of developable area.
• Extend the General Commercial (GC) zoning district that is currently
Limited Commercial (LC) zoning district on 9th and 10th street, from
Polk Street to Kemp Boulevard.
• Extend Limited Commercial (LC) zoning district to cover the gaps
currently zoned Single Family-2 (SF-2) Residential on the west side
of Harrison Street from Avenue C to Avenue F.
• Extend Limited Commercial (LC) zoning to cover the gaps currently
zoned Single Family-2 (SF-2) Residential on both sides of Monroe
Street from Avenue E to Avenue H.
• Rezone the Commercial Corridor (CC) zoning district to General
Commercial (GC) zoning district.
• Extend the Limited Commercial (LC) zoning district along the east
side of Kemp Boulevard from 8th Street to Seymour Highway.
Ms. Cates noted the Commissioners have a diagram, in their packets, of the
current zoning layout and the proposed zoning so they can see where the
differences will be. She also informed the Commissioners that many of the
older homes in that area already have Accessory Dwelling Units, but when they
get deteriorated to the point that they have to be torn down,they are not allowed
to build them back due to current zoning ordinances. Our plan will allow them
to be able to rebuild those units, and allow owners those uses in that current
zone.
In regards to parking, residents cited concerns for the cost of paving material,
so we would like to offer an alternative paving material which would allow
residents to use gravel for accessory dwelling unit parking requirements.
Regarding the Commercial Corridor (CC), Ms. Cates pointed out that the
zoning district just to the south (on Kemp) is General Commercial (GC).
The only difference between the commercial corridor and the general
commercial is when it was created, they put in a key element where the building
materials were regulated. Legislation has changed since then and we can no
4
PAGE 4 of 7
AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.c
longer require specific building materials. So, now there really is no difference
except having a different zoning designation. We are just going to change it
back to General Commercial and have it extended down Kemp. By changing
the CC to GC, it will make it more in alignment rather than having another
separate zoning district that people will have to look up.
For the extension of the Limited Commercial zoning district along the east side
of Kemp, that will be to fill in a gap which will help speed up, and streamline,
any future development that begins in that area.
Ms. Cates informed the Commission that the zoning amendments are on the
city website, and they are broken down so the proposed changes can easily be
seen. There is also an input form on the site, so anyone can go to our website
and fill it out. We welcome any input, and thought having it on the internet might
make it easier for most. (This information and the input form have been posted
on our Facebook apps as well.)
Commissioner Doug McCulloch noted his appreciation to Ms. Cates for all the
work she has put into this project, by cleaning up a lot of gaps and filling in with
some consistency. Her time is appreciated, and was well worth it.
Ms. Cates stated that staff will have another public information meeting, to give
the citizens as much time that we can, and to make sure that no one is
concerned or upset with what's going to change. After that, we will hopefully
bring this back before the Commission for a recommendation to City Council.
Chairman Woodward asked if anyone from the audience would like to speak,
or ask a question on the matter.
Mr. Allen Moore came forward and said his only concern is the use of gravel
for a driveway is a problem because the gravel will get in the street, and
asphalt/cement is just better. He recommended if a resident is going to spend
money to improve their property,then they should invest in asphalt or cement.
Ms. Cates said that when they had their meeting with the Revitalization
Committee, the use of gravel was something that was unanimously pushed for.
With the way our ordinances are written, requiring improved surfaces, she
didn't think the request for gravel would be considered. Staff even tried to bring
up the possibility in the future when that property is sold and somebody else
has a wheelchair. Needing to get into that accessory dwelling unit and a gravel
surface will be an issue for them. The Committee's main point was that the
people in this area right now are really paycheck to paycheck. If they're going
to invest money in the property itself, that they want to allow gravel. She
reiterated that the Commission was unanimous in requesting the use of gravel.
5
PAGE 5of7
AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.c
Ms. Cates clarified that gravel would be used only for Accessory Dwelling Unit
parking
Chairman Woodward asked if there were any more comments or questions
from anyone from the public, and there were none.
In addition, he asked if any of the Commissioners had any comments, and none
were made.
Chairman Woodward closed the public meeting at 2:14.
VI. OTHER BUSINESS
Mr. Fabian Medellin updated the Commission on the latest regarding the
legislative session. The Governor signed five bills that pertain to our zoning
ordinance that could have some impact and require some amendments.
The following are the five bills that will be discussed in this update:
1) HB 24—Zoning Changes Protests (Super Majority) (Effective 9/01/25)
Creates a distinction for one-off request for zoning amendments or
rezones, and the protest requirements for those — versus — your more
comprehensive city-wide/regional-wide changes. Percentage changed
from 20%to 60%
2) HB 2462—Home-Based Business (Effective 9/01/25)
Cities are preempted from regulating no impact home-based
businesses. Home businesses will not be regulated as long as
they are not creating traffic, large trash or storing chemicals. The
residence needs to be nondescript where they perform their
business without any complaints. Whether that's nuisance, lighting
or anything like that, including environmental.
3) HB 2844— Mobile Food Truck Regulation (Effective 9/01/25)
This bill pertains mainly to Health Codes. We will look at it as it
pertains to the outdoor food court ordinance and any changes that
we may need to make to that regulation, specifically with the hours
of operation.
4) HB 4506— Notification for Zoning Changes (Effective 9/01/25)
A new allowance for municipalities to notify of any zoning
changes, via text or email if the property owners register and sign
up for that service, versus traditional mail notification
6
PAGE 6 of 7
AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.c
m_ 5) SB 785 — HUD-code Manufactured Housing (Effective 9/01/26)
Allowing for manufactured HUD code homes within the same
zoning districts as single family uses if they are included in that
district. Also, requiring at least one district to allow for
manufactured homes.
Staff will look into each of the bills to see how they will affect our ordinances,
and will speak with our sister cities for their insight on the new bills, and how
they view the changes. Then staff will have a workshop of how we will address
the potential updates to our ordinances.
Commissioner McCulloch asked to go back to a question about a plat in the
consent agenda. He asked for some background on the 300-acre plat that has
a request to rezone. Mr. Medellin stated that it is a tentative subdivision in the
business park, that will be split it into two lots. Speaking for the Wichita Falls
Economic Development Corporation, Moriah Williams told the Commission that
this is a project that could potentially be acquiring this land as an economic
development project. This replat will make it easier for the project to be phased
out according to the owner's timeline. It will not change the use of the park at
all, it will just make it easier for development. It was stated this project is under
an NDA at this time.

Council Action to be Taken: Open the Public Hearing on the Fiscal Year 2026 Proposed
Tax Rate.
Department Submitted: Finance
Staff Contact: Stephen Calvert, CFO/Director of Finance
1. PURPOSE / DESCRIPTION
In accordance with statute, this item is to seek public comment on the FY 2026 proposed
Tax Rate, which covers the fiscal period beginning October 1 , 2025 and ending
September 30, 2026.
• FY 2025 (current) tax rate: $0.684800
• FY 2026 "no new revenue tax rate": $0.662791
• FY 2026 "voter approval rate": $0.708873
• Proposed FY 2026 tax rate: $0.682500
The current property tax rate for the City of Wichita Falls is $0.684800 per $100 of
assessed value. The no-new-revenue tax rate of $0.662791 is the rate that generates
the same property tax revenue as the prior year from properties that were on the tax roll
in both tax years. The voter-approval rate of $0.708873 is the rate the City may adopt,
but not exceed.
The proposed FY 2026 budget recommends a tax rate of$0.682500, which, if approved,
results in a 0.34% decrease in the tax rate compared to the current year. This tax rate
does not exceed the voter-approval tax rate. The reference tax rates, above, are
calculated and certified by Tommy Smyth, Wichita County Tax Assessor-Collector.

1. PURPOSE / DESCRIPTION
The attached ordinance is required to set the total property tax levy for the 2026 fiscal
year. The property tax rate is made up of two parts: (1) the rate needed to support
Operations and Maintenance of the City's general operations; and (2) the rate needed to
pay Principal and Interest on a portion of the City's General Obligation Debt. As the
proposed tax rate will exceed the no-new-revenue tax rate, the vote on the ordinance
setting the tax rate must be a record vote and must be approved by at least 60 percent
of the members of the city council (i.e. 5 affirmative votes). TEX. TAX CODE § 26.05(b).
• FY 2025 (current) tax rate: $0.684800
• FY 2026 "no new revenue tax rate": $0.662791
• FY 2026 "voter approval rate": $0.708873
• Proposed FY 2026 tax rate: $0.682500
The proposed FY 2026 budget recommends a tax rate of $0.682500 which is 0.34%
lower than the tax rate for the current year. The reference tax rates, above, are calculated
and certified by Tommy Smyth, Wichita County Tax Assessor-Collector.

Agenda Item Number: 8.f
Agenda Title: Ordinance replacing Ordinance No. 50-2024 that was amended by Ordinance 24-2025, the
fee schedule applied to City operations; providing for severability; providing that such ordinance shall not
be codified; and providing an effective date.
Council Action to be Taken: Approval of Ordinance replacing Ordinance No. 50-2024 that was amended
by Ordinance 24-2025, the fee schedule applied to City operations; providing for severability; providing that
such ordinance shall not be codified; and providing an effective date.
Department Submitted: City Attorney I Legal
Staff Contact: Kinley Hegglund, City Attorney
1. PURPOSE/DESCRIPTION
Adopt the City's updated fee schedule for FY2026, implementing approximately two-percent (2%)
adjustments to most departmental fees and making minor housekeeping updates for clarity and
consistency following the recodification of the Code of Ordinances. The updates align fees with the cost of
providing services, administering regulatory programs, and codifying fees in a standalone ordinance as
required by the recodified Code.
2. STAFF ANALYSIS/ BACKGROUND/ PRIOR COUNCIL ACTIONS
To maintain cost recovery and service levels, staff proposes modest, generally uniform adjustments of
approximately 2% for most fees. The proposed schedule complies with Council's findings that: (1) fees are
reasonably related to and do not exceed the amount necessary to provide and administer the relevant
services and programs; and (2) any differentials between resident and non-resident fees are designed to
avoid subsidization by City taxpayers and do not generate revenue beyond taxpayer support for those
programs. Adoption in a separate ordinance is required by the recodified Code to incorporate all fees
applicable to City operations.
This fee ordinance amendment has been prepared using the tracked changes function so that the City
Council can see the current and proposed fees. This amendment includes the following:
1. Airport, Traffic, &Transportation
1c. Airport
o Codified existing fees that were previously omitted from the ordinance (no change to
amounts).
le. Falls Ride Bus Fares

series of evaluations utilizing a rowing machine and a Combat Fitness Test.
To promote wellness, readiness, and retention, City will establish a performance-based incentive
program that rewards officers based on their fitness test results.Under this program,sworn officers

AGENDA ITEM NO. 8.G

If an Officer fails to achieve a minimum score of 75% on the required physical fitness assessment,
the Officer shall be permitted one (1) retest within ninety (90) calendar days of the original test
date. The Officer is responsible for coordinating with the designated department fitness
coordinator to schedule the retest within the allowed timeframe.
Any unused compensatory time not used by September 30 of the year in which it was earned and
accrued will not carry over into the following fiscal year and may be forfeited unless otherwise
authorized by department policy or applicable law.
This incentive structure is designed to reinforce a culture of physical readiness and enhance the
overall health and operational effectiveness of the Police Department.
4. Education Pay
Beginning October 1, 2027, Officers shall be paid at the following rates per month starting the
month after they receive their degree: $100 per month ($46.16 per pay period) for an Associate
Degree, $200 per month ($92.31 per pay period) for a Bachelor's Degree, or $250 per month
($115.39 per pay period) for a Master's Degree. Such education pay is not cumulative.
5. Field Training Officer Incentive Pay
Sworn officers who are assigned as Field Training Officers (FTOs) will receive incentive pay of
$150 per month, for the entire fiscal year beginning October 1, 2025. The program will provide
this incentive to a maximum of 24 officers designated as FTOs at any given time.
Officers must be actively serving as designated Field Training Officers (FTOs) in order to be
eligible for FTO incentive pay. Merely holding FTO certification or previous FTO experience does
not qualify an officer for this incentive. Incentive pay is contingent upon current, active assignment
and participation in the department's Field Training Program.
This incentive is intended to recognize the added responsibilities of training and mentoring new
officers and to encourage experienced personnel to serve in this critical role.

Agenda Item Number: 9.a
Agenda Title: Resolution of the City Council of the City of Wichita Falls, Texas, approving a negotiated
settlement between the Atmos Cities Steering Committee ("ACSC") and Atmos Energy Corp., Mid-Tex
Division regarding the Company's 2025 Rate Review Mechanism Filing; declaring existing rates to be
unreasonable; adopting tariffs that reflect rate adjustments consistent with the negotiated settlement;
finding the rates to be set by the attached settlement tariffs to be just and reasonable and in the public
interest; approving an attached exhibit establishing a benchmark for pensions and retiree medical benefits;
approving an attached exhibit regarding amortization of regulatory liability; requiring the company to
reimburse ACSC's reasonable ratemaking expenses; determining that this resolution was passed in
accordance with the requirements of the Texas Open Meetings Act; adopting a savings clause; declaring
an effective date; and requiring delivery of this resolution to the company and the ACSC's legal counsel.
Council Action to be Taken:
Department Submitted: City Attorney I Legal
Staff Contact: Kinley Hegglund, City Attorney
1. PURPOSE/DESCRIPTION
To approve the settlement reached between Atmos Energy Corporation, Mid-Tex Division, and the Atmos
Cities Steering Committee (ACSC) under the Rate Review Mechanism (RRM) process, establishing new
rates effective October 1, 2025. The settlement,which reduces Atmos' original request by$20 million, sets
system-wide additional revenues at $205.6 million, adopts the associated rate tariffs, and authorizes
reimbursement of the City's expenses related to review and negotiation. This action ensures the rates are
just, reasonable, and in the public interest while providing cost savings compared to the statutory Gas
Reliability Infrastructure Program (GRIP) process.
2. STAFF ANALYSIS/ BACKGROUND/ PRIOR COUNCIL ACTIONS
The City, along with 181 other Mid-Texas cities served by Atmos Energy Corporation, Mid-Tex Division
("Atmos Mid-Tex" or"Company"), is a member of the Atmos Cities Steering Committee ("ACSC"). In 2007,
ACSC and Atmos Mid-Tex settled a rate application filed by the Company pursuant to Section 104.301 of
the Texas Utilities Code for an interim rate adjustment commonly referred to as a GRIP filing (arising out
of the Gas Reliability Infrastructure Program legislation). That settlement created a substitute rate review
process, referred to as Rate Review Mechanism ("RRM"), as a substitute for future filings under the GRIP
statute.
PAGE 1 OF 21 PAGES
AGENDA ITEM NO. 9.A
Since 2007, there have been several modifications to the original RRM Tariff. The most recent iteration of
an RRM Tariff was reflected in an ordinance adopted by ACSC members in 2018. On or about April 1,
2025, the Company filed a rate request pursuant to the RRM Tariff adopted by ACSC members. The
Company claimed that its cost-of-service in a test year ending December 31, 2024, entitled it to additional
system-wide revenues of$245.2 million.
Application of the standards set forth in ACSC's RRM Tariff reduces the Company's request to $225.6
million, $163.5 million of which would be applicable to ACSC members. After reviewing the filing and
conducting discovery, ACSC's consultants concluded that the system-wide deficiency under the RRM
regime should be $185.6 million instead of the claimed $245.2 million.
After several settlement meetings, the parties have agreed to settle the case for $205.6 million. This is a
reduction of$20 million from the Company's initial request. This includes payment of ACSC's expenses.
The Effective Date for new rates is October 1, 2025. ACSC members should take action approving the
Resolution before October 1, 2025.
Rate Tariffs: Atmos generated rate tariffs attached to the Resolution/Ordinance will generate $205.6
million in additional revenues.Atmos also prepared a Proof of Revenues supporting the settlement figures.
ACSC consultants have agreed that Atmos' Proof of Revenues is accurate.
Bill Impact: The impact of the settlement on average residential rates is an increase of $7.83 on a
monthly basis, or 9.27%. The increase for average commercial usage will be $25.73 or 6.56%. Atmos
provided bill impact comparisons containing these figures.
ACSC's Objection to GRIP Process: ACSC strongly opposed the GRIP process because it constitutes
piecemeal ratemaking by ignoring declining expenses and increasing revenues while rewarding the
Company for increasing capital investment on an annual basis. The GRIP process does not allow any
review of the reasonableness of capital investment and does not allow cities to participate in the Railroad
Commission's review of annual GRIP filings or allow recovery of Cities' rate case expenses. The Railroad
Commission undertakes a mere administrative review of GRIP filings (instead of a full hearing), and rate
increases go into effect without any material adjustments. In ACSC's view,the GRIP process unfairly raises
customers' rates without any regulatory oversight. In contrast, the RRM process has allowed for a more
comprehensive rate review and annual evaluation of expenses and revenues,as well as capital investment.
RRM Savings over GRIP: While residents outside municipal limits must pay rates governed by
GRIP, there are some cities served by Atmos Mid-Tex that chose to remain under GRIP rather than adopt
RRM. Additionally, the City of Dallas adopted a variation of RRM, which is referred to as DARR.When new
rates become effective on October 1, 2025, ACSC residents will maintain an economic monthly advantage
over GRIP and DARR rates.
Comparison to Other Mid-Tex Rates (Residential)
Average Bill Compared to RRM Cities
RRM Cities: $54.68 -
DARR: $58.57 $3.89
ATM Cities: $57.39 $2.71
Environs: $55.96 $1.28
Note: ATM Cities and Environs rates are as-filed. Also note that DARR uses a test year ending in
September rather than December.
The Legislature's GRIP process allowed gas utilities to receive annual rate increases associated with
capital investments. The RRM process has proven to result in a more efficient and less costly(both from a
consumer rate impact perspective and from a ratemaking perspective) than the GRIP process. Given
Atmos Mid-Tex's claim that its historic cost of service should entitle it to recover$245.2 million in additional
system-wide revenues, the RRM settlement at $205.6 million for ACSC members reflects substantial
savings to ACSC cities. Settlement at $205.6 million is fair and reasonable. The ACSC Executive
Committee, consisting of city employees of 18 ACSC members urges all ACSC members to pass the
Resolution/Ordinance before October 1, 2025. New rates become effective October 1, 2025.

4. RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the resolution adopting the negotiated Rate Review Mechanism settlement
with Atmos Energy Corporation, Mid-Tex Division, setting new rates effective October 1, 2025. The
settlement provides a $20 million reduction from the Company's original request, ensures rates remain just
and reasonable, and results in savings for City residents compared to rates under the GRIP process.

6. TIMELINE
• 2007 — Atmos Cities Steering Committee (ACSC) and Atmos Mid-Tex settle a rate application,
creating the Rate Review Mechanism (RRM) as a substitute for the Gas Reliability Infrastructure
Program (GRIP) process.
• 2018—ACSC members adopt the most recent RRM tariff.
• April 1, 2025 — Atmos Mid-Tex files an RRM rate request seeking $245.2 million in additional
system-wide revenues.
• April—July 2025 — ACSC consultants review the filing, conduct discovery, and recommend
reducing the request to $185.6 million; parties engage in settlement discussions.
• Summer 2025 — Settlement reached for $205.6 million in additional system-wide revenues,
including payment of ACSC expenses.
• By October 1, 2025 —ACSC member cities must approve the resolution adopting the settlement
and associated rate tariffs.
• October 1, 2025 — New rates become effective.
7. ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS
1. Approve the Settlement (Staff Recommended Option)
• Accept the $205.6 million system-wide settlement negotiated through ACSC.
• Benefits: $20 million reduction from Atmos' original request, reduced bill impacts compared to
GRIP, and reimbursement of City's expenses.
• Risks: Rates still increase for residents and businesses, though less than requested.
2. Reject the Settlement and Litigate
• Decline to adopt the settlement and challenge the filing through the RRM process.
• Benefits: Potential for further reduction in the revenue requirement.
• Risks: Increased legal and consultant costs, extended timeline, and uncertainty in outcome; could
result in higher rates if the challenge is unsuccessful.
3. Take No Action
• Failure to act by October 1, 2025, would allow Atmos' requested rates to take effect by default.
• Benefits: No immediate City involvement.
• Risks: Full $245.2 million request would be implemented, resulting in higher rates for customers
with no negotiated concessions or cost recovery for the City.
4. Withdraw from ACSC and Proceed Independently
• The City could choose to withdraw from ACSC and conduct its own review of Atmos' rates in future
filings.
• Benefits: Full local control over rate negotiations.
• Risks: Loss of collective bargaining power, higher individual costs for legal and consultant work,
and potential for less favorable outcomes.

Calculations
1. With regard to changes in the tax rates at a federal or state level, the increase or decrease shall
be calculated as follows:
a. A portion of the gas utility's revenue representing the difference between: 1) the cost of
service as approved by the Commission or the applicable regulatory authority in the gas
utility's most recent statement of intent or other rate proceeding, and 2) the cost of service
that would have resulted had the rates been based on the new federal income tax rate
(increase or decrease) or state margin taxes (increase or decrease), as of the effective date
of the change;
b. If applicable, the portion of the gas utility's revenue representing the difference between: 1)
each Interim Rate Adjustment surcharge approved by the regulatory authority since the gas
utility's most recent statement of intent or other rate proceeding, and 2) each Interim Rate
Adjustment surcharge that would have resulted had the surcharges been based on the new
federal income tax rate (increase or decrease) or state margin taxes (increase or decrease),
as of the effective date of the change; and
c. The excess or deficient deferred tax reserve, including any associated gross up in taxes,
caused by the reduction or increase in the federal corporate income tax rate or state related
tax increases, as of the effective date of the change.
Upon the receipt of authorization from the Commission or applicable regulatory authority, the gas utility
shall separately refund to customers based on a decrease in federal or state tax rates or separately
collect from customers based on an increase in federal or state tax rates within twelve (12) months or,
pursuant to applicable Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") rules and regulations, as follows:
d. The amount collected/refunded by the gas utility that reflects the difference in base rates
between: 1) the cost of service approved by the regulatory authority in the gas utility's most
recent statement of intent rate proceeding, and 2)the cost of service that would have resulted
had the rates been based upon the new federal or state tax rates, between the effective date
of this order and the effective date of the changes.
e. If applicable, the amount collected/refunded by the gas utility that reflects the difference
between: 1) each Interim Rate Adjustment surcharge approved by the Commission or the
regulatory authority since the gas utility's most recent statement of intent rate proceeding,
and 2) each Interim Rate Adjustment surcharge that would have resulted had the rates been
based upon the new federal or state tax rates, between the effective date of this order and
the effective date of the changes.
f. The amount collected/refunded by the gas utility that reflects the difference in the excess or
deficient deferred tax reserve included in base rates between: 1) the cost of service
approved by the Commission or the regulatory authority in the gas utility's most recent
statement of intent rate proceeding, and 2) the cost of service that would have resulted had
the rates been based upon the new federal or state tax rates, between the effective date of
this order and the effective date of the changes. These amounts shall be refunded or
collected from customers based upon IRC rules and regulations if applicable.

2. With regard to the Tax Act 2022 and certain other tax-related costs that will change from the
amounts included in the base revenue requirement established through an RRM filing, any
change in rates shall be calculated as follows:
(a) The amount shall be calculated as the product of Company's grossed-up rate of return
authorized in the cost of service as approved by the Commission or the applicable regulatory
authority in the gas utility's most recent statement of intent or other rate proceeding times the
Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax deferred tax asset ("CAMT DTA") estimated at
September 30 of the fiscal year or applicable quarter-end within a fiscal year prior to the
annual change in the rates pursuant to this tariff, less the income tax credits received in
accordance with IRC requirements applicable to the Tax Act 2022 grossed-up for income
taxes to a revenue equivalent.
(b) The estimated CAMT DTA and the related effects on the rider revenue requirements shall be
trued up to the actual effects in the following year and the over/under recovery amortized
over the twelve months that each year's recalculated tariff rates are in effect. The over/under
recovery shall include a grossed-up rate of return as authorized in Company's most recent
statement of intent or other rate proceeding.
(c) The methodology for computing Company's CAMT is as follows:
Confirm when Atmos Energy Corporation and its affiliates are subject to CAMT
as an "applicable corporation" as defined the Tax Act 2022, then there will be
MTX's CAMT DTA in the tariff.
ii. Calculate the Mid-Tex Division's (MTX) contribution to Adjusted Financial
Statement Income ("AFSI") on a stand-alone basis. MTX's AFSI is calculated by
adjusting MTX's applicable financial statement income by adjustments to
depreciation, pension costs and federal income tax to arrive at AFSI. AFSI is
intended to be computed consistent with applicable IRC requirements.
iii. Compare MTX's CAMT stand-alone amount with MTX's regular stand-alone tax
liability. If the stand alone CAMT is in excess of the stand-alone regular tax, the
CAMT DTA is recorded to MTX.
If the Internal Revenue Service issues new guidance related to the Tax Act 2022, Company shall have
the right to make additional filings to recognize such adjustments.
Any Commission filing made to give effect to Federal or State Tax Law or Rate Changes shall be filed
within 12-months following the enactment of a tax rate change with the Commission's Oversight and
Safety Division or as part of a Statement of Intent.
Any city filing made to give effect to Federal or State Tax Law or Rate Changes shall be filed within 12-
months following the enactment of a tax rate change and addressed to the city official at the address of
record with the Mid-Tex Division.
With the exception of the authorization required from the Commission to allow the gas utility to recognize
the new federal income tax rate (increase or decrease) or state taxes (increase or decrease) or the
impacts associated with the effects of the Tax Act 2022 and certain other tax-related costs that will
change from the amounts included in the base revenue requirement in the last approved RRM Tariff filing,
no action on the part of the regulatory authority is required to give effect to the amount to be refunded or

Provisions for Adjustment
The Commodity Charge per Ccf (100 cubic feet) for gas service set forth in any Rate Schedules utilized
by the cities of the Mid-Tex Division service area for determining normalized winter period revenues shall
be adjusted by an amount hereinafter described, which amount is referred to as the 'Weather
Normalization Adjustment." The Weather Normalization Adjustment shall apply to all temperature
sensitive residential and commercial bills based on meters read during the revenue months of November
through April. The five regional weather stations are Abilene, Austin, Dallas, Waco, and Wichita Falls.
Computation of Weather Normalization Adjustment
The Weather Normalization Adjustment Factor shall be computed to the nearest one-hundredth cent
per Ccf by the following formula:
(HSFi x (NDD-ADD) )
WNAFi = Ri
(BLi + (HSFi x ADD) )
Where
= any particular Rate Schedule or billing classification within any such
particular Rate Schedule that contains more than one billing classification
WNAFi = Weather Normalization Adjustment Factor for the ith rate schedule or
classification expressed in cents per Ccf
Ri = Commodity Charge rate of temperature sensitive sales for the ith schedule or
classification.
HSFi = heat sensitive factor for the ith schedule or classification divided by the
average bill count in that class
NDD = billing cycle normal heating degree days calculated as the simple ten-year
average of actual heating degree days.
ADD = billing cycle actual heating degree days.
Bli = base load sales for the ith schedule or classification divided by the average
bill count in that class
The Weather Normalization Adjustment for the jth customer in ith rate schedule is computed as:
WNA; = WNAF; x
Where q;j is the relevant sales quantity for the jth customer in ith rate schedule.
