Before Citizen Comments, Mr. Jenkins addressed recent media reports that Downtown
Development would no longer host the Art Walk. He clarified that the Art Walk is not a
City program and stated that the City recognizes the importance of the event to the quality
of life in the community. He further advised that staff are evaluating several options to
support the continuation of the Art Walk in 2026 and will identify the best long-term
solution.
Ian Campbell, Wichita Falls, spoke regarding an incident at the downtown post office
involving former Officer Daniel Wilson. He alleged he was arrested for filming in a public
post office, booked without charges, and that his phone was retained, and that the officer
lacked lawful authority to demand identification. He also referenced a separate arrest of
a young lady involving former Officer Wilson at a McDonald's. Mr. Campbell stated he
has filed a lawsuit against the Police Department and the City and intends to submit a
notice of preservation of records related to the incident. He concluded with a moment of
silence for veterans and called for the Chief of Police to resign.
Cathy Dodson, 3503 Glenwood Avenue, discussed concerns regarding comments made
by Austin Cobb about the Wichita Falls Fire Department's authority to conduct training on
residential streets, and expressed her belief that such training could result in residents
being harassed. She referenced historical comparisons to Bull Connor and stated that
she disagreed with and rejected the statements made to her. Ms. Dodson clarified that
she does not hate the Fire Chief, but hates what he represents.
Samuel Pak, 2918 Kyle Cove, discussed concerns regarding the Art Walk and presented
a proposal to improve its long-term sustainability. He stated the event provides economic
and quality-of-life benefits to the community but faces challenges related to funding,
safety, staffing, and operations. He requested City assistance, including support for event
insurance, on-duty police presence, trash and barricade services, defined event
boundaries, and help with volunteer coordination and cleanup. He also provided a written
proposal to save the Art Walk.

Jeanette Charos, 3012 Speedway, discussed the importance of community gatherings
and shared her experience working downtown and supporting small businesses. She
referenced the positive impact of Art Walk and other small, low-cost community activities
in Wichita Falls. She encouraged residents to become involved, support local activities,
and help build community through consistent participation.
John Hutchinson, 3503 Glenwood, alleged that power in Wichita Falls is concentrated
within male-dominated systems, including City boards, departments, and law
enforcement, and expressed concerns regarding transparency, equity, and community
trust. He criticized the Police Department and Police Chief Manuel Borrego, and called
for his removal. He also referenced an incident involving Victoria Lang and called for
accountability and criminal charges against the former officers involved. Mr. Hutchinson
concluded by urging systemic reform, greater transparency, and accountability.
Jana Lovely, 2404 Clarinda, former library administrator, spoke in support of the Art Walk
and shared that her initial experience with the event when she moved to Wichita Falls left
a positive impression of the community. She stated that similar community initiatives in
other cities have supported revitalization efforts and expressed hope that Art Walk will
continue in Wichita Falls. She also thanked City staff for keeping the public informed
during the recent winter storm and encouraged the City to continue recognizing Black
History Month and the contributions of people of color.
Crystal Washington, Wichita Falls, thanked the City for the Black History Month
proclamation and spoke regarding concerns about the Wichita Falls Police Department's
demographics, culture, and community representation, particularly in District 2. She cited
publicly available staffing statistics and expressed concern about recent incidents
involving officers, including one involving Victoria Lang and another involving Officer
Shoffit and a female police officer. She also raised concerns about social media activity
attributed to certain public officials and questioned the handling of charges and the bond
amount in the Shoffit case. Ms. Washington stated that she believes policing in Wichita
Falls reflects unequal treatment and urged the Mayor and Council to address issues of
trust, accountability, and fairness within the Police Department.
Daniel Juarez, 1825 Woodrow Ave., spoke in support of the Art Walk, noting that it is a
popular community event and benefits both downtown and the community overall. He
encouraged the City to include local artists in discussions regarding future funding and
support for the event. He also stated that Black history is American history.
Madeline Chappell, 401 Madison, Executive Director of the Youth Opportunities Center
(YOC), stated that the center is located in a flood zone and excluded from the TIF district,
which has limited access to post-COVID and other funding. She described significant
facility repair and accessibility needs and stated that the center has served east-side
youth since 1994. Ms. Chappell expressed concern that the east side has not received
the same level of investment as other areas of the City and requested assistance in
identifying and securing federal, state, and private funding to support restoration and
continued operation of the Youth Opportunities Center.

of expanding the event to occur more frequently, including on additional days each month
and in more months of the year, to provide greater opportunities for vendors and artists.
She also requested increased transparency regarding major City projects and
expenditures and greater public involvement in those discussions. Ms. Walker expressed
concern about funding priorities, including directing more resources to the east side and
the Youth Opportunities Center, and raised concerns regarding downtown parking and
enforcement of time-limited public parking spaces during Art Walk.
Jeremy Davis, 726 Scott Avenue, spoke in support of the Art Walk, stating that it is a
valued and impactful community event and was a positive factor in his decision to move
to Wichita Falls and work locally. He encouraged continued support for Art Walk and other
community engagement efforts, including activities through the library and on the east
side, and emphasized the importance of celebrating diverse voices and strengthening
community connections.
Mike Honcho, Wichita Falls resident, military veteran, and former law enforcement officer,
spoke in support of continuing and funding the Art Walk, stating that it reflects the City's
diversity. He also expressed concerns about a lack of community representation on City
boards and within the Police Department, stating that this lack of representation
contributes to division and long-standing trust issues. He referenced past and recent
incidents involving the Police Department and described a recent incident involving his
son, whom he stated was arrested while engaging in what he believed to be lawful and
constitutionally protected activity.
Bryant Bagby, Wichita Falls, stated concerns regarding his treatment during a prior arrest,
including the handling of his prescribed medication and medical identification. He alleged
that his medical rights were violated and that he was treated in a demeaning and
excessive manner. He urged greater compassion and respect in interactions between law
enforcement and individuals, particularly those with disabilities.
Valerie Rhodes, 1706 Avalon, discussed concerns about trust and communication
between residents and City leadership and referenced the City's unique history, including
the significant role of Black history in Wichita Falls and its broader impact. She expressed
concerns about neighborhood infrastructure and safety issues, including street and curb
maintenance and traffic-related hazards, and requested that the City ensure equitable
delivery of services to all areas.
Brenda Luna, Wichita Falls, spoke regarding an incident involving Victoria Lang and
shared a personal experience during a recent traffic stop in which she felt the officer was
initially aggressive and lacked compassion. She stated that the officer's demeanor

changed only after she disclosed a personal medical situation. Ms. Luna emphasized that
residents should be treated with professionalism, empathy, and respect in all police
interactions and called for greater accountability and humane treatment.
Minister Craig Evans, 304 McLaughlin, commended the Council for allowing public
participation and emphasized the importance of the rule of law and equal accountability
for all individuals and public officials. He referenced an incident involving Ms. Lang, stated
that he believed officers' actions should be reviewed under applicable law, and cited
federal civil rights law in support of his comments. He urged the Council to act in
accordance with principles of justice, ensure that all voices are heard, and promote
fairness and accountability.
David Coleman, 3719 Cedar Elm Lane, acknowledged the significant, strongly felt issues
being discussed and thanked the Council and residents for addressing them. He then
spoke in support of the consent agenda item regarding the proposed property exchange
between the City and Wichita Falls Streams and Valleys, stating it is a mutually beneficial
agreement that would return property to the tax rolls and support maintenance of the
Hotter 'N Hell events and mountain bike trails.
Sandra Gross, 1834 Adrian, a member of the East Project Networking Committee, spoke
regarding ongoing efforts to host multicultural and Martin Luther King Jr. community
events, and discussed future events. Ms. Gross requested City assistance for the
upcoming parade, expressed appreciation for the City's past support, and stated that the
events are intended to bring together diverse cultural and faith communities and promote
unity and civic pride.
Al Vitolo, 5408 Blazing Star, President of the Wichita Falls Firefighters Association, spoke
regarding a request to place an item on a future City Council agenda to consider renaming
South Weeks Park, located at 2000 Southwest Parkway, as Kelly Crush Memorial Park.
He stated that Mr. Crush, a former Wichita Falls firefighter who served more than 20 years
and was diagnosed with ALS while on duty, had a significant impact on the community

personal and familiar circles and to show respect and care for one another, including
loving and supporting their neighbors.
Councilor Flack thanked residents for attending and stated that "a great way to make
change is to be in the room where the decisions happen." She encouraged residents to
go online and apply to serve on City boards and commissions, noting that members are
not selected at random and must submit applications. She stated that serving on boards
and committees is how residents get involved and help shape decisions before they come
to Council, and encouraged more people who care about the future of the community to
apply.
Councilor Taylor thanked residents for attending and speaking and noted that it was
encouraging to see community participation. He emphasized that, as stated by Councilor
Flack, volunteering to serve on City boards and committees is critical to having a voice in
City decisions. He also encouraged residents to participate in the City's upcoming
Citizens' Academy as an opportunity to learn more about City operations and how to
become involved in the community.
Councilor Battaglino thanked volunteers and staff for the recent Pancake Festival, noting
that more than 8,000 people were served. He recognized Councilors Brooks and Taylor
for their work on the TIF #3 project and announced upcoming community events. He also
thanked City staff and volunteers for their long-term efforts assisting District 4 resident
Charles Harrell through "compassionate code compliance" and noted Mr. Harrell's recent
passing.
Mayor Short encouraged residents to apply to serve on City boards and commissions and
to become involved in their communities, noting that participation leads to positive
outcomes, including recent progress following changes to the TIF 3 board. He thanked
those who attended the City's Black History celebration and recognized Reverend Billy J.
Robinson for 51 years of service. Mayor Short also commended Street Department crews

4. Discussion
a. Committee Charge
Chairman Sparks opened Item 4a regarding the committee charge. Mr. McKechnie
explained that the original document prepared by Dr. Wilson had been heavily relied upon when
drafting the related ordinances, noting that it was well-researched and provided strong
foundational guidance. He suggested the board continue using that document—along with its
included mission statement—as a guiding framework moving forward.
Board members discussed the goals and objectives outlined in the document.
Commissioner Watts clarified the distinction between the committee charge and the mission
statement. Mr. Sparks emphasized that the mission statement should explicitly reflect the
committee's focus on reducing unsheltered homelessness, noting that targeting individuals not
served by any agency would help the task force make a meaningful impact. He further highlighted
the interrelated action steps, such as improved communication among agencies and a community
awareness campaign.
Mr. McKechnie reviewed language from the ordinance and resolution he drafted,
outlining duties such as identifying housing and service gaps, recommending strategies for
coordination, researching best practices, advising on policy recommendations and grant
opportunities, and identifying funding sources.
Members reviewed the guiding framework for establishing the Committee. The
Committee Charge includes:
- Identifying service, housing, and resource gaps for the unhoused population.
- Recommending strategies to improve coordination among service providers,
nonprofits, law enforcement, and public health.
- Promoting community education and outreach.
- Advising on policy recommendations and funding opportunities.
Members affirmed that the existing charge is comprehensive and should guide the
Committee's direction.
b. Consideration and Possible Adoption of the Mission Statement
Councilor Cobb stated that a mission statement needed to be formally adopted and
recommended slightly revising the existing statement to clearly apply it to the City—County Task
Force.
Dr. Wilson formally moved to adopt the revised mission statement:
City-County Homeless Advisory Committee
09/15/2025 Minutes
Page 2 of 9
Page 19 of 89
"To serve the community of Wichita Falls and the County of Wichita by ethically
reducing homelessness through citizen partnerships, innovative solutions, and
effective actions."
Seconded by Commissioner Watts, with no public comment, the motion carried 7-0.
The mission statement was adopted.
c. Consideration and Possible Adoption of Committee Action Steps
The Committee reviewed six action steps proposed in the Citizens Addressing
Homelessness report:
1. Increasing employment pathways for homeless individuals.
2. Raising public awareness through education.
3. Improving coordination across the continuum of care.
4. Streamlining access to services and housing.
5. Training and engaging volunteers and faith-based partners.
6. Ensuring ethical guiding principles.
Two priorities were identified for immediate focus:
- Community education and awareness, including public messaging.
- Improved service integration and interagency communication, including better HMIS
utilization.
Community Education & Public Awareness
Councilor Cobb emphasized that public education should be an early priority. Before
organizing volunteers or launching complex initiatives, the community needs a clear
understanding of:
• What the task force is trying to accomplish
• Available resources
• Where individuals experiencing homelessness can go for help
He suggested using:
• Short educational videos created with the City's communications team
• Facebook outreach
• A clear"game plan"for consistent messaging
Provider Networking & Information Sharing
Several members noted significant gaps in communication among service providers.
Commissioner Beauchamp said agencies often lack a unified network and struggle to
coordinate. Mr. Sparks and Dr. Wilson reinforced that "navigation pathways" (action step#4) are
a priority because:
City-County Homeless Advisory Committee
09/15/2025 Minutes
Page 3 of 9
Page 20 of 89
• Providers use different systems
• The current Continuum of Care (COC) is limited in scope
• Better data sharing is essential to breaking down silos
Dr. Wilson stressed that key stakeholders—law enforcement, healthcare, shelters,
food banks, and mental health services—must be connected early.
Discussion on the Continuum of Care (CO C) & HMIS
Ms. Amy Fagan asked about the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS).
Dr. Wilson explained:
• The COC is federally required to operate an HMIS
• The system is underutilized locally
• It could be a powerful tool for reducing silos, if strengthened
Mr. Sparks clarified:
• The regional COC covers 16 rural counties
• Nortex Regional Planning Commission is the lead agency
• The COC is volunteer-run, with limited capacity
• Ideally, broader representation (law enforcement, hospitals, mental health,
etc.) should be included
Major Leal noted that other communities use broader coalitions that include first
responders to maintain communication channels.
Separating Priority Items
Mr. Andy Martin suggested splitting early priorities into at least two major areas:
• Community Communications & Education
• Service Integration & Coordination (including HMIS exploration)
Dr. Wilson agreed and added a third priority: health care integration, noting that
citizens need easy access to reliable information about available resources.
Communications Plan & Next Steps
Councilor Cobb, Mr. Jenkins, and Dr. Wilson proposed:
• Creating a short introductory video to guide the public to resources
• Using the QR code to link to the consolidated database
• Coordinating with the City's communications team (Chris)
• Reviewing resource lists before publishing them to ensure accuracy
Amy Fagan informed the group that the LiveWellWichitaCounty.com website already
contains a comprehensive resource database that includes:
• Local food pantries
• Health and wellness classes
• Helen Farabee services
City-County Homeless Advisory Committee
09/15/2025 Minutes
Page 4 of 9
Page 21 of 89
• Salvation Army resources
• Faith Mission and other community providers
• Additional local support programs across multiple categories (Eat Well, Play
Well, Work Well)
She noted that the database is currently undervalued and underused, but it is fully built
out and easy to update. Her team can review and incorporate any additional resources identified
by the task force.
Ms. Fagan also said generating a QR code linking directly to the resource database is
simple and that her team can assist with that process.
Councilor Cobb suggested adding this topic to the agenda of an upcoming regional
NorTex meeting attended by county judges and the mayor, so the task force could request support
from that larger body. Since the regional board serves 16 counties and includes multiple voting
members, he noted it should not be an issue to present the plan there, as improved
communications would benefit all counties.
Information Sharing
Dr. Wilson stated that:
• Multiple systems and models exist for information-sharing among agencies.
• The Continuum of Care (COC) should be one option, not the only option.
• A subgroup should be formed—possibly led by Mr. Sparks—to explore all
viable systems and begin navigating complex issues such as:
o How client information is shared
o What data agencies are allowed to share
o What agreements (business service agreements, MOUs) are required
Mr. Martin added that any system must also address:
• HIPAA restrictions
• Substance-use confidentiality protections
• Security concerns
• Public trust(reassuring citizens their information will not be improperly shared)
Importance of Information Sharing for Field Encounters
Dr. Wilson and Mr. Sparks gave practical examples of why information-sharing
matters:
• First responders often encounter individuals in parks or public spaces who
claim they are barred from shelters.
• Sometimes those claims are false—but there is no mechanism for officers to
verify.
• A coordinated system could prevent misinformation and ensure people are
directed to available services.
Coordinated Entry
City-County Homeless Advisory Committee
09/15/2025 Minutes
Page 5 of 9
Page 22 of 89
Major Roman Leal asked whether the community was using coordinated entry, the
standard model for tracking homelessness service interactions nationwide.
• Coordinated entry should allow agencies to check whether someone is barred
from a shelter.
• It depends on client consent for information-sharing.
Dr. Wilson responded that while coordinated entry should be happening, in practice,
"It is not being done the way it should be."
HMIS (Homeless Management Information System)
Mr. Sparks noted:
• The local HMIS (the WellSky system) is available free of charge to any agency
in Wichita Falls.
• Licenses are already paid for through a COC grant.
• However, only one agency currently uses it—Faith Mission.
Major Leal indicated:
• His agency does not yet participate, but he intends to begin using HMIS or a
similar tool soon.
• He is also exploring SAHeIp, another communication and resource-sharing
network.
He expressed interest in partnering with Steve and joining the local HMIS system
moving forward.
Mr. Sparks welcomed him and thanked him for joining the effort.
d. Discussion on Opportunities for Homelessness Healthcare
Mr. Sparks introduced the topic, noting that health care for people experiencing
homelessness is a significant service gap in Wichita Falls. He explained that individuals are often
discharged from the hospital or ER with nowhere appropriate to recover, ending up in shelters or
on the street, even when they would usually be discharged to a home with home health services.
He emphasized the need for a respite option where people can safely recover for 3-6 weeks post-
surgery or significant illness.
Dr. Wilson presented a three-part concept he is very passionate about, based on
models he and Mr. Sparks observed in Knoxville, Tennessee:
1. Medical Respite Unit
• A small, dedicated unit (within or in partnership with a shelter such as Faith
Mission) where recently hospitalized, unsheltered individuals can recover.
• Beds and housing/operations would be provided by the shelter; health care
services (nursing, wound care, PT/OT, supplies) would be provided by a home
health agency or a combination of providers.
• Intended to reduce unnecessary ER visits, hospital admissions, and
ambulance calls, which are currently occurring "by the thousands" each year.
City-County Homeless Advisory Committee
09/15/2025 Minutes
Page 6 of 9
Page 23 of 89
2. Street Medicine + Nurse Navigation
• A mobile care team (provider plus nurse navigator or case manager) that goes
directly into encampments and street locations.
• Modeled after Knoxville's partnership with AMR; Dr. Wilson has already
spoken with the local AMR regional director, who is interested in helping.
• The goal is to:
o Treat urgent issues in the field when appropriate.
o Connect people to clinics or respite beds.
o Reduce unnecessary ER use and connect unsheltered individuals into
ongoing care.
3. Clinic Partnership
• Instead of building a new clinic, the model would integrate existing local clinics:
o Transition Clinic
o County Indigent Health Care
o Community Health Care Clinic
• These clinics would coordinate with the respite and street medicine
components as part of a unified "triangle" of care.
Dr. Wilson noted that mental health and physical health are treated as one continuum
in this model, and that many people experiencing homelessness have overlapping medical,
mental health, and addiction recovery needs.
Local Interest& Potential Partners
• Dr. Wilson reported that United Regional's CEO (Corey Edmondson) is very
interested in the model.
• In Knoxville, Covenant Health funds the home nursing care at the rescue
mission respite unit, spending about $400,000 per year and estimating $2
million per year in savings from reduced ER and inpatient utilization.
• Locally, potential partners and resources mentioned by the committee include:
o Faith Mission as a possible respite site (they have had such a concept
on their agenda for about 10 years).
o A county building becoming available next summer that might be
suitable as a facility.
o Community Health Care Clinic's new director, who is excited about this
concept and has seen a similar model in Houston.
• Possible involvement from Texas Tech University and other counties as
additional resources.
Questions, Challenges, and Implementation Issues
Members raised several practical questions that will need to be worked out, including:
• Employment & structure:
o Who will employ nurse navigators? United Regional? The County?
Another entity?
o Who will staff and manage the respite unit 24/7?
City-County Homeless Advisory Committee
09/15/2025 Minutes
Page 7 of 9
Page 24 of 89
• Logistics & funding:
o Will AMR provide or help equip a van for street medicine?
o What physical location will serve as the respite site?
o How will ongoing funding be raised and sustained?
• Care coordination:
o How to ensure mental health professionals, addiction recovery
providers, and medical staff all collaborate around the respite and street
medicine program.
Despite these challenges, Dr. Wilson emphasized that:
• The model is doable.
• It would represent a significant improvement in how the community cares for
people experiencing homelessness who are medically fragile.
• It could significantly reduce unnecessary emergency utilization and better
coordinate recovery, treatment, and transitions to shelters or recovery
programs.
Committee Reaction & Leadership
• Mr. Jenkins affirmed the need, sharing an example of encountering a recently
discharged hospitalized individual in a park with no safe place to recover.
• Commissioner Beauchamp mentioned a county building that may become
available and suggested it as a potential facility.
• Dr. Wilson noted strong interest and potential volunteer support from:
o The County Medical Society
o United Regional medical staff
o Other medical and nursing professionals
Dr. Wilson volunteered to lead this healthcare/respite initiative, and Mr. Sparks
acknowledged that he has effectively already been leading it. The item concluded with general
support and recognition that additional planning and conversations with partners will be necessary
to advance the healthcare model.
e. Discussion on Possible Public Awareness Campaign for Community at Large
Mr. Sparks noted that the committee had already discussed this item earlier in the meeting.
He thanked Councilor Cobb for taking the lead. Additionally, Mr. Sparks reviewed task
assignments:
• Public Awareness Campaign: Councilor Cobb will lead this effort and report
progress at the next meeting.
• Networking & Communication Improvements: Mr. Sparks and Mr. Martin will work
together on improving provider communication and developing better networking
strategies.
• Healthcare / Medical Respite & Street Medicine Model: Dr. Wilson will lead the
healthcare initiative and will identify someone to assist him; he will report back at
the next meeting.

Mr. Steve Sparks called the meeting to order at 4:00 p.m. Mr. Sparks invited an opening
prayer, and no objections were raised. Mr. Sparks led the Committee in prayer.
2. Business.
a) Report on Public Awareness Campaign
Mr. Austin Cobb reported that the City's Public Information Office ("PIO"), along with City
staff leadership and public health partners, developed a public service message as part of a
broader public awareness campaign related to homelessness.
Mr. Cobb presented a video message emphasizing a "hand up, not a hand out" approach
and encouraging the public to connect individuals in need to community resources rather than
providing cash or gift cards. The video directs viewers to LiveWellWichitaCounty.com for more
information.
Mr. Cobb advised that the message is scheduled to air on KFDX Channel 3 and KJTL
Channel 6, and would also be shared on social media platforms.
Committee discussion followed regarding possible enhancements to the campaign,
including:
City-County Homeless Advisory Committee
11/12/2025 Minutes
Page 1 of 5
Page 27 of 89
• Adding local B-roll footage to show Wichita Falls-specific conditions and avoid use of
footage from other cities;
• Incorporating testimonials or additional committee member participation as the campaign
expands;
• Considering a role-playing scenario concept to demonstrate how a member of the public
could respond and redirect someone toward resources.
Mr. James McKechnie noted the video should be viewed as the kickoff to a larger campaign,
with opportunities to build additional segments over time.
b) Report on Medical Services
Dr. Louis Wilson presented a medical services update, outlining three key components the
Committee has discussed to reduce unsheltered homelessness through coordinated healthcare
response:
1. A 911 Nurse Navigator system (through AMR),
2. A coordinated street medicine program, and
3. Establishment of medical respite unit(s).
911 Nurse Navigator(AMR).
Dr. Wilson explained that AMR offers a nurse navigator model using protocols/algorithms to
help determine appropriate care pathways and reduce unnecessary emergency responses. Dr.
Wilson indicated AMR reports that approximately 51% of 911 calls involve health-related
navigation needs. He stated AMR would cover part of the cost and that the model is used in other
communities (including Knoxville) to coordinate between street medicine, shelters, and medical
providers. The Committee discussed the importance of ensuring the navigator system has up-to-
date, local resource information.
Ms. Amy Fagan discussed the importance of the follow-up component after referral (e.g.,
confirming individuals attend appointments, obtain medications, etc.) and noted other models
exist that support linkage-to-care and follow-up.
Street Medicine Program (Concept).
Dr. Wilson described a proposed street medicine model using a non-emergency van staffed
by a provider(physician or nurse practitioner), a case manager, and additional support personnel.
The Committee discussed training and coordination needs, including communication procedures,
before visiting encampments and interfacing with the City's new community relations officer.
Discussion included questions regarding:
• Who would own/operate the van,
• Who would employ the case manager, and
• How follow-up documentation and information sharing would occur across systems.
City-County Homeless Advisory Committee
11/12/2025 Minutes
Page 2 of 5
Page 28 of 89
Dr. Wilson noted a potential initial operational concept of 2-3 hours, three times per week,
with follow-up case management work beyond street rounds. The Committee discussed the
operational implications of whether the case manager should be employed by a partner agency
(e.g., Helen Farabee, Faith Mission, the Public Health District, or United Regional) and how
employment/structure affects access to records and coordination ("firewalls").
Medical Respite Units.
Dr. Wilson reported on a concept for medical respite unit locations:
• One unit proposed at/near Faith Mission (north side),
• One unit proposed at Faith Refuge (women's location),
with a concept of eight beds at each site. Dr. Wilson noted that cost discussions have
been held regarding nursing care needs. Mr. Sparks stated Faith Mission can
incorporate ongoing operational expenses such as utilities, security, and meals within
existing operations and anticipated fundraising for capital costs. Mr. Sparks advised
that a donor had committed $1 million, and he believed fundraising could reach an
estimated total of approximately $2 million for both structures.
Funding/Indigent Health Discussion.
Commissioner Beauchamp discussed the County's indigent healthcare funding structure and
the possibility that a portion of provider costs could potentially be supported through available
indigent health resources, subject to legal and compliance review. Committee members
discussed alternate models, including:
• The County funding a position within an existing provider organization through a
separate agreement,
• Use of Medicare/Medicaid enrollment and billing for eligible individuals to support
sustainability,
• Potential use of charity care dollars (noting policy and risk considerations), and the
need for further research.
Dr. Wilson concluded his update and thanked the Committee for the discussion.
c) Report on Healthy Community Collaborative Grant
Mr. Andy Martin provided an update regarding a grant application effort. Mr. Martin
reported that he and staff prepared a substantial grant submission (described as approximately
228 pages) and worked up to the deadline. Mr. Martin stated he experienced an access issue
with the submission portal, regained access at approximately 10:54 a.m., and the portal closed at
10:30 a.m.; therefore, the application could not be submitted.
Mr. Martin advised that, even if the grant had been successfully submitted, the Committee
would not have received an award decision until approximately March, with potential funding not
available until September of the following year. Mr. Martin stated the work product contains
meaningful planning and cost research that can support alternate approaches and "Plan B"
options. Mr. Sparks expressed appreciation for the work completed and noted that the information
compiled remains valuable.
d) Report on networking and communication
City-County Homeless Advisory Committee
11/12/2025 Minutes
Page 3 of 5
Page 29 of 89
Mr. Sparks provided an update regarding networking and Continuum of Care ("CoC")
structure and communications. Mr. Sparks reported meetings with Nortex representatives,
including Diane Morgan (Housing Coordinator) and Dennis (Executive Director), and described
Nortex as the current lead agency for the regional CoC covering a 16-county area.
Mr. Sparks explained:
• The CoC structure originated to avoid leaving HUD homelessness resources "on
the table."
• Most counties within the 16-county region provide limited participation, with Wichita
County being the primary active participant.
• Concerns were raised about the lead agency being a service provider, which can
create a conflict-of-interest perception.
• Potential improvements may include relocating lead agency functions to a more
appropriate entity to manage coordinated entry, HMIS administration,grant writing,
and grant management.
The Committee discussed possible options and the need for additional research, including
examples from other jurisdictions(e.g., lead agencies housed within city government departments
or separate non-service-provider nonprofits). Ms. Fagan agreed to research which state division
designates CoCs and gather additional information.
Mr. Sparks also referenced homelessness-related goals and reporting within City
neighborhood resources/housing-related reporting and discussed how staffing and structure may
affect the City's ability to meet stated goals.
Additional Discussion: Resource Database and Community Education
Ms. Fagan provided an update on LiveWellWichitaCounty.com as a resource database
and encouraged Committee members and partner organizations to assist in keeping service
information current. Ms. Fagan discussed a goal of increasing visibility and access through co-
branded communications, including potential placement on City/County web pages, business
cards, signage, billboards, and partnerships with other resource databases (including United
Regional and Meals on Wheels) to align and cross-link information.
Commissioner Beauchamp noted the County Extension Agent resources related to
nutrition and food insecurity may be underutilized and could be incorporated into broader
community outreach efforts.
Community Relations Officer Update/Policy Considerations
Mr. Jenkins discussed the City's new community relations officer position focused on
parks, library, and trail system issues, including engagement with businesses and providing
guidance and resource direction for unhoused individuals. Committee members discussed the
importance of coordination and appropriate responses for cleanups (including biohazard
concerns), especially in encampments and right-of-way areas.
3. Next Meeting Date.

1. CALL TO ORDER.
Mr. Leo Lane called the meeting to order at 2:30 p.m.
2. CONSENT AGENDA.
a. Approval of Minutes (October 14, 2025)
Mr. Lane opened the floor for comments on the October 14, 2025, minutes. Hearing none,
Mr. David Tooqood made a motion to approve the minutes as presented. Seconded by Mr. Craig
Lewis with no additional comments from the public, the motion carried 4-0.
b. Financial Report
Mr. Lane noted that recent summaries were helpful in showing where funds are being
spent and which projects are underway, and he highlighted that the prior tax year closed

approximately 3 percent ahead of projections.
Mr. Paul Menzies explained that the high fund balance shown in the report is largely the
result of recent land transactions that closed in the past few weeks, combined with the fact that
the Corporation has just rolled into a new fiscal year. On the first day of the new fiscal year, all
major known expenses—such as payments to Forward Wichita Falls, SMAC, airport debt service,
and business park debt service—were posted immediately, while none of the year's anticipated
revenue from sales tax collections or interest earnings has yet been recorded. Approximately $6
million in revenue is expected for the year, but is not currently reflected in the available fund
balance shown in the report.
Mr. Lane further reminded the Board that significant financial activity is anticipated in the
coming months, including costs related to a potential new business park, ongoing business
recruitment efforts, and major redevelopment initiatives such as the mall project. He emphasized
the need for continued caution and careful monitoring of expenditures, given the number of active
and upcoming projects.
Mr. Brent Hillery made a motion to approve the consent agenda financial report. Seconded
by Mr. Craig Lewis, and with no further discussion or public comment, the motion carried 4-0.
3. DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION RELATED TO LAND ACQUISITION AT 500 E MCKINLEY ST,
WICHITA FALLS,TEXAS 76301.
Ms. Vicki Pratt presented the proposal to acquire approximately 121.7 acres at 500 East
McKinley, which is currently under option and set to expire on November 25. The tract would be
developed into a new aviation-focused industrial park directly adjacent to Sheppard Air Force
Base. She explained that recent Department of Defense supply-chain rules now require at least
55% of components to be manufactured in the United States, driving international and domestic
aerospace and defense manufacturers to seek U.S. locations near military installations. Wichita
Falls' location between major military bases in Texas and Oklahoma, combined with its municipal
airport and active Air Force base, gives it a rare competitive advantage. Ms. Pratt noted strong
interest from international aviation firms, including Canadian companies that are actively seeking
a U.S. presence, particularly in Texas, to remain compliant with DoD procurement requirements.
The site is currently undeveloped, requiring significant utility and roadway investment.
Although Sheppard AFB receives water and sewer service from the City, the base's infrastructure
is capped and cannot support growth. Engineering work by Corlett identified routes that would
bring utilities to the industrial park while also expanding the base's future capacity, making the
investment beneficial to both the City and the military installation. Estimated costs include
approximately $2.44 million for the land, $1.49 million to complete engineering for utilities and
roads, $4.35 million for construction of water and sewer infrastructure, and $5.4 million to build
the access road from East McKinley to the base fence line. An additional $5 million would be
required on the airport side to extend a road from the fence line to a paved runway area. However,
Pratt emphasized that the City does not need to build all infrastructure immediately; purchasing
the land and completing the engineering — about $3.92 million —would create a fully "market-
ready" site with defined costs and timelines for prospective tenants.
Ms. Pratt also stressed the importance of emergency and runway access. Currently,
Sheppard does not have outside road access to the south end of its runways, which is where
aircraft incidents are most likely to occur. The proposed road would give emergency responders
a direct route to that area and create a future controlled gate for manufacturers that need runway
access. Base leadership has expressed strong support for this improvement, citing safety and
response-time benefits. Economically, Ms. Pratt projected that the park could support at least 250
direct manufacturing jobs, with a 3-to-1 multiplier, resulting in approximately 750 additional jobs
in the community. Even at a conservative land resale value of $30,000 per acre, the site would
WFEDC MINUTES 11/20/2025
PAGE 2 OF 6
Page 33 of 89
generate roughly$2.4 million, while also positioning Wichita Falls for long-term aerospace growth
tied to defense and aviation manufacturing.
Mr. Kirk Peterson highlighted how the arrival of the T-7 Red Hawk aircraft at Sheppard Air
Force Base makes the McKinley site especially timely and valuable. The U.S. Air Force has
ordered 350 aircraft, with approximately 120 planned for Wichita Falls by around 2030, making it
the largest T-7 fleet in the world. Boeing and Saab, the manufacturers, are contractually required
to provide three years of sustainment and maintenance support, which will rely heavily on Tier-2
and Tier-3 suppliers. Mr. Peterson explained that these companies will soon begin determining
where their subcontractors and maintenance partners will be located, creating a prime opportunity
for Wichita Falls to capture that investment.
Mr. Peterson has already begun outreach to both Boeing and Saab, including Boeing's
Texas representative, who expressed a strong interest in having a Boeing presence in Wichita
Falls. He noted that suppliers are especially attracted to being located right next to the base
because Sheppard's Logistics Readiness Squadron allows vendors to deliver parts directly into
the Department of Defense supply system—once parts cross the gate,they are officially delivered
to the Air Force. This creates a powerful logistical and contractual advantage that very few
communities can offer.
He also emphasized that Wichita Falls' opportunity extends beyond the T-7 program.With
Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma City—the largest aircraft depot in the world—nearby, Wichita
Falls is well positioned to attract vendors that support aircraft sustainment and overhaul
operations across the region. Many Canadian and international suppliers, pressured by tariffs and
U.S. sourcing rules, are actively seeking locations in the U.S., and Wichita Falls offers quicker
access to DFW Airport, strong transportation links, and direct proximity to military customers. Mr.
Peterson concluded that the community must act now, securing land and infrastructure before
opportunities pass, comparing the situation to having a "perfect shot lined up" and needing to be
ready to take it.
Ms. Moriah Williams presented a retrospective analysis of Wichita Falls'first business park
to quantify its financial return,job creation, and economic impact since its acquisition in 2004.The
park was originally purchased as a 525-acre tract and, after two decades of gradual development,
is now essentially sold out. As of late 2025, all but approximately 18 acres remain, with the final
130 acres currently under contract and expected to close within about eight months. While
absorption took many years, Ms. Williams noted that activity accelerated dramatically over the
past three years as the park "flew off the shelf," validating the City's long-term development
strategy.
The park's first major tenant was Old Dominion Freight Line in 2008, which purchased
nearly 7 acres for$150,000 and committed to creating 6 jobs—though today that facility employs
an estimated 30 to 40 people. FedEx followed with an 8.2-acre purchase for $164,000, investing
$17 million in capital improvements and promising 30 jobs; today, that facility supports at least
100 employees. Recognizing that the park would not reach its potential without infrastructure, the
City and its partners later made targeted investments in roads and access—including Midwestern
Parkway and Hammond Road—which became the turning point for growth.
One of the first major incentive-based deals was Winfield Solutions, which raised
questions at the time about the cost-to-return ratio. However, the company has remained in full
compliance and exceeded its commitments, growing from an eight-job promise to approximately
20 employees. Amazon then purchased land at $72,000 per acre without requesting incentives
and is now operational, bringing major distribution activity to the park. Syntrio also acquired land,
not to create jobs directly, but to build a fiber hub, dramatically increasing redundancy and
broadband capacity—an investment that significantly increased the overall value and
competitiveness of the entire park. Finally, Skybox Texas Data Center LLC closed on 217 acres
WFEDC MINUTES 11/20/2025
PAGE 3 OF 6
Page 34 of 89
and now holds the remaining acreage under option, marking the largest single investment in the
park's history.
From a financial perspective, Ms. Williams reported that the park has generated
approximately $26.5 million in land sale revenue. The City and its partners invested about$1.175
million initially, followed by another$9.8 million in infrastructure and land improvements, for a total
public investment of roughly $11 million. Even after accounting for contingencies, the park has
produced an estimated $14 million net profit purely in land and infrastructure returns—before even
considering jobs, tax base, or private investment. On the employment side, the park has directly
created approximately 425 jobs, which, using a conservative 3-to-1 multiplier, translates into well
over 1,200 total jobs supported in the local economy. In addition, tenant capital expenditures
across the park total approximately $14 billion, led by major facilities such as Skybox's data
center.
Ms. Williams concluded that the first business park is a clear demonstration that Wichita
Falls' long-term, infrastructure-first economic development strategy works. What began as a slow-
burn project ultimately became a major driver of jobs, private investment, and municipal profit,
providing a powerful model for evaluating new opportunities—such as the proposed East
McKinley industrial park—through the same lens of patience, planning, and long-term return.
Mr. Lane then opened the floor for discussion. Mr. Hillery first asked whether the proposed
aviation park was inside the city limits and how many businesses the approximately 120-acre site
might support. Ms. Williams and Ms. Pratt clarified that the property is not yet annexed and that
tenant size will vary widely, with some aviation manufacturers typically occupying 15-20 acres,
meaning the site could support anywhere from one large user to several mid-sized companies.
Mr. Hillery also asked whether additional land would be available for future expansion, and Mr.
Lewis confirmed with Ms. Pratt that the same landowner controls an additional 250 acres across
the road, while other parcels nearby are owned by different parties.
Mr. Lewis then questioned whether the reference to 80 acres of sellable land meant a
single company was already seeking that amount. Ms. Williams clarified that this figure was simply
a conservative planning estimate after accounting for roads and drainage, not an indication of a
committed buyer. Mr. Lewis also asked whether extending utilities to the edge of Sheppard Air
Force Base could allow the City to recover costs if the base later needed that infrastructure. Mr.
Peterson responded that the base is facing a future space and infrastructure crunch due to the
incoming T-7 aircraft, but has not yet determined exactly what it will need or where it will build, so
no reimbursement assumptions can be made at this time.
Mr. Toogood asked how the cost of developing this 120-plus-acre site compared with that
of developing a similar-sized industrial tract elsewhere in Wichita Falls. Ms. Pratt explained that
the primary cost driver is extending utilities, and while a parcel with existing utilities would be
cheaper, this site provides the added benefit of also enabling future growth at Sheppard Air Force
Base, making it a dual-purpose infrastructure investment.
Mr. Hillery also asked whether the land was flat and suitable for construction, and Ms.
Pratt confirmed that the property has been surveyed and topographically evaluated and is easily
buildable with minimal earthwork required.
Throughout the discussion, Mr. Lane provided clarifications about the purpose of the item,
confirming that the Board was being asked to consider whether to proceed with the land option,
which had been extended for 60 days at no cost to allow further evaluation. Mr. Lane and Ms.
Pratt both emphasized the City's history of patient, long-term industrial investment and agreed
that securing control of the land now would preserve the opportunity while detailed planning and
negotiations continue. The Board agreed to move into executive session to discuss the matter
further before returning for any formal action.

4. DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION RELATED TO LOAN PAYBACK TO THE WICHITA FALLS 4B
SALES TAX CORPORATION IN THE AMOUNT OF$3,500,000.
The Board considered a proposal to repay the Wichita Falls 4B Sales Tax Corporation a
$3.5 million loan that had been issued during the Sikes Center Mall transaction. Moriah Williams
explained that the 4B loan was originally structured as part of the financing package to provide
the required down payment and match for the mall acquisition. Now that the project has stabilized,
staff is recommending that the full $3.5 million be repaid so the funds can be returned to 4B's
balance sheet, eliminating the outstanding obligation and giving the corporation the flexibility to
reinvest those dollars into new projects rather than leaving them tied up in a long-term receivable.
Board members expressed support for the early repayment. Mr. Glenn Barham noted that
the proposal was a welcome surprise, as the Board had not expected to be repaid this soon, and
emphasized that 4B currently has limited available funding—approximately $2.5 million—while
facing a pipeline of potential projects totaling an estimated $25 to $30 million over the next few
years. He stated that having the $3.5 million returned would significantly strengthen the
corporation's ability to respond to those upcoming requests.
MOTION
After confirming there were no further comments or public input, Mr. Toogood made a
motion to repay the $3.5 million loan to the 4B Sales Tax Corporation. Seconded by Mr. Lewis,
the motion carried 4-0.
5. DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION RELATED TO A FUNDING REQUEST FROM THE CITY OF
WICHITA FALLS RELATED TO THE EXTENSION OF SOUTH WENONAH BLVD.
Mr. Menzies presented a funding request on behalf of the City to support the completion
of the South Wenonah Boulevard extension, a roadway project that has been part of the City's
long-term development plans for approximately 20 years, dating back to the creation of Tax
Increment Financing (TIF) District No. 2. TIF 2 was originally established to stimulate growth in
the Lawrence Road corridor and has exceeded financial expectations while also completing major
infrastructure projects, including improvements along Maplewood and drainage upgrades.
Four years ago, the TIF Board committed all remaining funds to the construction of South
Wenonah, which is intended to function as a truck-relief route from Lawrence Road and to unlock
new commercial and retail development opportunities along the corridor, particularly in areas near
the Wichita Energy Building and the Tarry and Gregory street connections. Approximately two
years ago,the WinCo development accelerated the project timeline, resulting in roughly$1 million
of TIF funds being allocated to build the northern portion of the roadway, which now represents
about 35-40 percent of the total corridor.
The remaining segment, extending south to Maplewood, was bid as a base segment and
an alternate due to concerns that the remaining $3 million in TIF funds would not be sufficient to
complete the full project. However, when bids were opened the prior week, the City received a
highly competitive bid of approximately $3.7 million to construct the entire remaining section,
significantly lower than the engineer's estimate of $4.5 to $5 million, leaving a funding gap of
roughly $700,000. Because TIF 2 expires on December 31 and all funds must be awarded before
that date, the City is requesting that the Wichita Falls 4A Sales Tax Corporation partner with the
City to cover the remaining gap so the full South Wenonah corridor can be awarded next month
and proceed into construction without stopping short of Maplewood, thereby maximizing both the
infrastructure investment and its economic development potential.
Mr. Menzies then opened the floor for questions. Mr. Lewis first asked why the funding
request was being brought to the 4A Corporation rather than the 4B. Mr. Menzies explained that
the project qualifies as a 4A request because South Wenonah is primarily a commercial roadway
designed to stimulate business and retail development, similar in purpose to Production
WFEDC MINUTES 11/20/2025
PAGE 5 OF 6
Page 36 of 89
Boulevard, by opening up significant new areas for private investment. Mr. Toogood then asked
which specific properties would benefit from the extension, and Mr. Menzies pointed to several
large tracts along the corridor, including the Wichita Energy property, vacant land near the former
Standard beer distributorship, and multiple undeveloped parcels on both sides of the road that
could be redeveloped if owners choose to sell. Mr. Lewis clarified that the City originally planned
to stop construction at the red-line demarcation shown on the map, which could be fully funded
with the remaining TIF dollars, and Mr. Menzies confirmed that without additional funding, the
project would indeed end there, meaning the requested 4A participation would allow the roadway
to be extended all the way to Maplewood.
Ms. Williams added that recent recoveries of economic-development funds had
strengthened the Board's overall financial position, noting that approximately $1.1 million was
returned from the Production Boulevard project due to cost savings, and an additional $367,000
was recovered from a non-compliant company that was required to repay incentives it had
received, giving the Board more flexibility to apply funds to priority projects. Questions were also
raised about land ownership, with Ms. Williams explaining that the property south of the Standard
tract is part of the Quail Creek development, including Academy and the surrounding strip malls.
Mr. Lewis asked whether those landowners had been approached about participating
financially in the project since their property would benefit from the improved access, and Mr.
Menzies stated they had not yet been approached. Board members also discussed the tight timing
constraints, emphasizing that the TIF funds must be awarded by the end of the calendar year,
which creates urgency for securing any additional funding. Mr. Tyson Traw, the City's engineering
director, explained that the project involves more than just paving the road, noting that significant
portions of the budget are dedicated to drainage and utility infrastructure, which are necessary to
make the adjacent properties developable and to support future commercial activity, particularly
for large landowners such as Standard, whose operations generate sales tax for the City. The
discussion concluded with acknowledgment of the time-sensitive nature of the request and the
potential for further deliberation in executive session.
6. EXECUTIVE SESSION.
Mr. Lane adjourned the meeting into executive session at 3:19 p.m. pursuant to Texas
Government Code §§§§ 551.072, 551.087, 551.071, and 551.074. He announced the meeting
back into regular session at 4:18 p.m. The subjects posted in the Notice of Meeting were

Planning and Zoning 2 December 10, 2025
V. REGULAR AGENDA
Workshop to discuss the 89th Texas Legislative Session and proposed
zoning amendments.
Director Medellin presented an overview of updates from the 89th Texas Legislative
Session and discussed draft zoning ordinance amendments. Staff identified three
bills requiring changes to the zoning ordinance: HB 24 (Majority Rule), HB 2464
(Home-Based Businesses), and HB 4506 (Notification for Zoning Changes).
HB 24 revises the classification of zoning amendments by distinguishing between
comprehensive and non-comprehensive changes and establishes different
opposition thresholds that may trigger a supermajority vote at the City Council level,
particularly for amendments increasing residential density.
HB 2464 deregulates non-nuisance home-based businesses and expands eligibility
from single-family residences to all residential dwelling units. Staff noted that draft
ordinance language reflects this expanded definition.
HB 4506 allows electronic notification (email or text) for zoning changes, provided
receipt can be verified. Minor changes to postage requirements and sign
regulations were also discussed.
Director Medellin advised that additional ordinance cleanup was included to reflect
departmental rebranding from Community Development to Development Services.
Commissioner McCulloch asked questions regarding the expansion of home-based
businesses to multifamily dwellings. Director Medellin stated staff does not
anticipate significant impacts, as the bill applies only to non-nuisance uses.
Commissioner Enlow inquired about the City's capacity to implement electronic
notifications. Director Medellin confirmed the City has the capability through its
existing notification system and noted staff intends to continue using multiple
notification methods.
Director Medellin concluded by noting that further workshops or a public hearing are
anticipated prior to presentation of the proposed amendments to City Council.

telecommunications providers to compensate municipalities for the use of public rights-
of-way. The provisions of this statute went into effect on September 1, 1999.
Currently, the City of Wichita Falls municipal franchise is with Spectrum Gulf Coast,
LLC. A Public, Educational, Governmental (PEG) fee is charged to Spectrum
subscribers to support the government and educational cable channel 1300. The City of
Wichita Falls receives 1% of the gross revenues earned from the franchise fee, which
can then be used on capital expenditures to promote governmental functions. The total
project cost is $496,500.41 and will be paid for entirely through PEG funding.

2. STAFF ANALYSIS / BACKGROUND / PRIOR COUNCIL ACTIONS
The Civil Service Commission is a three-member body that provides direction, review,
and decision-making on certain civil service issues that may come before it. The State

Manager and confirmed by the City Council.
In certain instances, disputes may arise, or operational provisions may be in question or
of concern to interested parties in the civil service. The City Manager is charged with
selecting individuals to serve on this Commission, and the City Council's role is to
confirm or deny the selection.
In accordance with LGC 143.006 (c-1), a commission member may serve up to three
Page 71 of 89

Transmittal Letter
Agenda Item Number: 9.d.
Agenda Item Name: Resolution authorizing the City Manager to award bid and contract
for the 2026 Crack Seal Project to Holbrook Asphalt, LLC in the amount of $232,500.00.
Council Action to be Taken: Consider and take action on proposed Resolution.
Department Submitted: Engineering
Staff Contact:
Tyson Traw, Director of Engineering
1. PURPOSE / DESCRIPTION
The proposed resolution would authorize the City Manager to award bid and contract for
the 2026 Crack Seal Project to Holbrook Asphalt, LLC in the amount of $232,500.00.
Crack sealing is a preventative pavement maintenance that prolongs pavement service
life and defers more expensive rehabilitation techniques by preventing water infiltration
at cracks and joints in pavement. This project is an extension of our new pavement
maintenance initiative that is increasing early investment in preventative pavement
maintenance prior to substantial deterioration. Over time, this proactive initiative will
increase the city's overall street condition by shifting some resources to preventative
maintenance instead of reactive full-depth pavement repairs.
2. STAFF ANALYSIS / BACKGROUND / PRIOR COUNCIL ACTIONS
On February 3, 2026, a competitive group of five bids were opened for the 2026 Crack
Seal Project. This project is generally described as the cleaning and sealing of joints and
cracks on various city streets, and associated work.
The bids received for this project are as follows:
Company Amount
Page 74 of 89
Holbrook Asphalt, LLC — Ogden, UT $232,500.00
Freeman Paving, LLC — Vernon, TX $248,000.00
Stone River Bridge, LLC — $249,500.00
Georgetown, TX
Superior Asphalt, LC — Magna, UT $253,000.00
Scodeller Construction, Inc. — Wixom, $412,500.00
MI
3. BOARD REVIEW / CITIZEN INPUT
N/A
4. RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends award of the contract to Holbrook Asphalt, LLC in the amount of
$232,500.00, based on unit price quantities. Holbrook was awarded this project in 2025
and provided an excellent work product.
5. FUNDING SOURCE
FY 2026 funds have been budgeted for this project.
6. TIMELINE
Construction of this project should require approximately ninety (90) consecutive days
to complete.
7. ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS
If this project is not awarded, existing cracks in the pavement on the selected streets will
continue to allow water infiltration, which will accelerate the deterioration of the
underlying base and pavement surface. Delaying this project would negatively impact
citizens traveling on these streets and result in higher long-term costs as deterioration
continues. Moving forward now allows the City to proactively address pavement
conditions of selected streets while making the most effective use of funds already
budgeted for street maintenance and rehabilitation.

Transmittal Letter
Agenda Item Number: 9.e.
Agenda Item Name: Resolution authorizing the City of Wichita Falls's continued
participation with the Steering Committee of Cities Served by Oncor; and authorizing the
payment of ten cents per capita to the Steering Committee to fund regulatory and legal
proceedings and activities related to Oncor Electric Delivery Company, LLC.
Council Action to be Taken: Consider and take action on proposed Resolution.
Department Submitted: Legal
Staff Contact:
Kinley Hegglund, City Attorney
1. PURPOSE / DESCRIPTION
The City of Wichita Falls is a member of a 174-member city coalition known as the
Steering Committee of Cities Served by Oncor (Steering Committee). The resolution
approves the assessment of a ten-cent ($0.10) per capita fee to fund the activities of the
Steering Committee.
2. STAFF ANALYSIS / BACKGROUND / PRIOR COUNCIL ACTIONS
The Steering Committee undertakes activities on behalf of municipalities for which it
needs funding support from its members. Municipalities have original jurisdiction over
the electric distribution rates and services within the city. The Steering Committee has
been in existence since the late 1980s. It took on a formal structure in the early 1990s.
Empowered by city resolutions and funded by per capita assessments, the Steering
Committee has been the primary public interest advocate before the Public Utility
Commission, ERCOT, the courts, and the Legislature on electric utility regulation
matters for over three decades.
The Steering Committee is actively involved in rate cases, appeals, rulemakings, and
Page 79 of 89
legislative efforts impacting the rates charged by Oncor Electric Delivery Company,
LLC within the City. Steering Committee representation is also strong at ERCOT. It is
possible that additional efforts will be necessary on new issues that arise during the
year, and it is important that the Steering Committee be able to fund its participation on
behalf of its member cities. A per capita assessment has historically been used and is a
fair method for the members to bear the burdens associated with the benefits received
from that membership.
3. BOARD REVIEW / CITIZEN INPUT
N/A
4. RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the resolution authorizing the City's participation in the
Oncor Cities Steering Committee and payment of the assessment of a ten-cent ($0.10)
per capita fee to fund the activities of the Steering Committee.
5. FUNDING SOURCE
N/A
6. TIMELINE
The steering committee has been in existence since the late 1980s. The City began
participation with the steering committee in April 2020.
7. ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS
As an alternative to participation in the Oncor Cities Steering Committee, the City could
independently monitor and respond to Oncor regulatory and infrastructure matters, rely
on broader municipal associations for general advocacy, retain outside legal or
technical consultants on a case-by-case basis, or address issues directly with Oncor as
they arise. These alternatives would likely require greater staff time or higher costs and
may limit the City's ability to proactively and effectively influence outcomes compared to
coordinated participation with other cities through the Steering Committee.

WHEREAS, the City is a member of the Steering Committee; and,
WHEREAS, the Steering Committee functions under the direction of an Executive
Committee which sets an annual budget and directs interventions before state and federal
agencies, courts, and legislatures, subject to the right of any member to request and
cause its party status to be withdrawn from such activities; and,
WHEREAS, the Steering Committee at its December 2025 meeting set a budget
for 2026 that compels an assessment of ten cents ($0.10) per capita; and,
WHEREAS, in order for the Steering Committee to continue its participation in
these activities that affect the provision of electric utility service and the rates to be
charged, it must assess its members for such costs.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS:
Page 81 of 89
1 . That the City is authorized to continue its membership with the Steering
Committee of Cities Served by Oncor to protect the interests of the City of
Wichita Falls and protect the interests of the customers of Oncor Electric
Delivery Company, LLC residing and conducting business within the City limits.

#102343 into a data center. In the meeting, staff informed the applicant and owner of
the zoning designation and the allowed uses in the current General Commercial and
Multi-Family Residential zoning designations. Staff determined that the proposed
development would not meet the by-right development standards. Staff advised of the
option to rezone the properties to a Light Industrial designation by extending the Light
