CALL TO ORDER Dr. Williamson, Chair, called the meeting to order at 12:04 pm after a quorum of members was attained. II. Approval of Minutes & Absences Dr. Williamson called for a review and approval of the November 14, 2025 minutes. Dr. Williamson asked for a motion to approve the minutes. Ray made a motion to approve and Dr. Gardner seconded. The minutes were approved unanimously. Dr. Williamson stated that Rachel Reitan and Melissa Plowman are excused from the meeting. III. TB Program Overview Dr. Williamson introduced Maddison Goodwin, RN. She spoke about TB and went over her presentation, as follows: TB is often thought of as a disease of the past or a disease that only exists in far off countries. In reality, approximately 13 million people in the United States have latent infection (LTBI). Of those people 5-10% will progress to the active disease if left untreated. LTBI is a sleeping infection only kept in check by a healthy immune system. LTBI is diagnosed by a positive skin test (TST) or blood test (IGRA) and a negative (or normal) chest x-ray. Active disease is diagnosed by an abnormal chest x-ray and presence of M. tuberculosis in a specimen culture. Judge Johnson asked a question about a false positive result. Maddison said we do see more false positives with the Quantiferon test than the T-Spot test as it is slightly less specific and a compromised immune system can skew the results. If the positive is considered a "low positive" she would think it Page 17 of 154 could be a false positive result but if the results are high, she would consider those a positive regardless if follow up testing was negative or indeterminate to be safe. Judge Johnson asked about how to confirm if the Quantiferon tests were truly positive or a skin test to confirm. Maddison said "Per the DSHS guidelines, they do not recommend performing both skin test and IGRA's together. The IGRA can be repeated if a physician finds it necessary, but we prefer the T- spot IGRA tests at the Health Department as they are less likely to have false positives. Regardless, every positive IGRA and skin tests requires a 2-view chest x-ray to rule out active TB disease. In the presence of symptoms of TB disease, DSHS also recommends 3 consecutive negative sputum samples to rule out active disease." Most common symptoms are: cough > 3 weeks/ weight loss/no appetite fatigue night sweats fever/chills Shortness of breath/chest pain Joint/musculoskeletal pain Swollen lymph nodes Treatment for active disease can take 6 months to 2 years to complete. The regimens consist of multiple strong antibiotics that can cause a range of adverse reactions. Patients have to be closely monitored during treatment for signs of toxicity. Early identification and treatment of LTBI are critical to TB elimination. However, reductions in federal funding have limited the availability of free LTBI treatment" Under current Texas DSHS guidance, our health department is only able to provide LTBI services to high-risk individuals referred through immigration processes or to uninsured patients who are unable to access care through a Federally Qualified Health Center. Ensuring access to LTBI care requires a community-wide approach. Treatment capacity cannot be managed by specialty providers alone. Strengthening partnerships with local primary care providers is essential to meeting the needs for LTBI treatment within our community. The health department supports these efforts by offering consultation and case-by-case clinical guidance to help ensure individuals with LTBI can access appropriate care. TB does not always follow a predictable path or presentation. Effective TB control depends on education, access to care, and coordinated systems working together. Amy spoke about TB and how dangerous it can be. The Health District had our first death last year. Mark asked about cases in jail. Amy said they will need to be in isolation. Terri Farabee asked how they would pay for the medication? Maddison said the state will help with medication while they are in jail and we can help when they are released. Ray asked how many cases do we see. Maddison said we see about 1 or 2 cases a year. Dr. Gardner asked about people that didn't know they were positive. Maddison said they will begin to have symptoms IV. Immunizations Program Overview 2 Page 18 of 154 Bethany Buscher, RN, introduced herself as the Immunization nurse. She said Immunizations offers many services: Childhood Immunizations Adult Immunizations Travel Vaccines Pregnancy confirmation testing TB skin testing Titer testing She said our Immunizations clinic has transitioned into offering appointments as well as walk ins.

Approval of Minutes. a) September 15, 2025 b) November 12, 2025 Mr. Jeff Watts motioned to approve the minutes from September 15, 2025. and November 12. 2025. Seconded by Mr. Austin Cobb. the motion carried 6-0. 3. Business. a) Update on Public Awareness Campaign City-County Homeless Advisory Committee 01/14/2026 Minutes Page 1of6 Page 20 of 154 Mr. Austin Cobb reported that the committee's public awareness campaign initiatives have been completed for the current phase. He stated that a public awareness video has been produced, published on the City's website, and aired on KFDX. Additionally, information regarding available community resources, including services provided by Helen Farabee Centers and Base Camp Lindsey, has been added to the Health District's website. Mr. Cobb also shared that he participated in an interview on a KFDX 6 p.m. news broadcast to discuss the committee's work and available resources. He noted that the committee has accomplished the items previously identified for the campaign and suggested allowing the current outreach efforts to run for a period before launching additional initiatives. He recommended that the committee revisit the campaign in one to two months to keep messaging fresh. Mr. Sparks thanked Mr. Cobb for his work on the campaign and commended the quality of the video and the news interview. Mr. Jeff Jenkins also expressed appreciation for the effort and agreed that the committee should consider refreshing public messaging periodically such as every couple of months or quarterly, to maintain awareness. Mr. Sparks suggested that the committee consider incorporating billboards into future outreach efforts and mentioned several potential locations throughout the city. Mr. James McKechnie noted that the City owns the digital sign near the MPEC. He indicated that the committee could explore using that platform in coordination with the City's Public Information Office. Members also discussed the possibility of using that sign for public service announcements highlighting available resources. Mr. Watts suggested using short social media videos, similar to those he has seen online, featuring brief interviews with individuals experiencing homelessness to share their stories and discuss available resources. Mr. Jenkins indicated he had also seen similar content and agreed it can be impactful. Mr. McKechnie added that short-form content, such as Facebook Reels, could be effective in capturing attention and directing viewers to local resources listed on the website. Mr. Sparks agreed that incorporating locally focused stories could help strengthen community engagement and reinforce the purpose of the campaign, which is to educate the public and connect individuals to available services. b) Update on Medical Services and d) Introduction and Discussion with Mike Dotson, CEO of Community Healthcare Center Mr. Sparks welcomed guest Mike Dotson, Chief Executive Officer of Community Healthcare Center, and invited him to share an update on his transition to Wichita Falls and the organization's work in the community. Mr. Dotson reported that he has been in Wichita Falls for several months and that the organization has been actively working to address medical staffing shortages. He stated that Community Healthcare Center has been recruiting physicians and nurse practitioners across several service areas and has recently hired additional providers. Mr. Dotson explained that the clinic's adult practice is currently at capacity, and the organization plans to expand patient availability as new providers are onboarded. He noted that Community Healthcare Center offers preventative primary care, dental services, mental health services. and pharmacy services across multiple locations in Wichita Falls. Mr. Dotson also emphasized the importance of partnering with City-County Homeless Advisory Committee 01/1412026 Minutes Page 2 of 6 Page 21 of 154 community organizations to address related needs, such as food insecurity and other social determinants of health that impact patient well-being. Mr. Sparks asked whether the clinic is accepting new patients. Mr. Dotson stated that the organization is working to expand patient intake as new providers begin practicing and that additional capacity may open soon after an upcoming internal planning meeting. Mr. Sparks noted that Community Healthcare Center could play an important role in supporting services for individuals experiencing homelessness in Wichita Falls and expressed interest in exploring future collaboration. Mr. Sparks also provided an update regarding medical services initiatives previously discussed by the committee, including the development of medical respite units. He stated that planning is ongoing and that one option being considered is constructing facilities adjacent to the current Faith Mission and Faith Refuge locations. He noted that fundraising efforts for an expansion at Faith Refuge are currently underway, which has limited his ability to focus simultaneously on the respite project. Mr. Sparks further explained that Dr. Wilson, who was not present at the meeting, has been leading efforts related to street medicine and other medical service initiatives and will provide additional updates at a future meeting. The committee briefly discussed potential funding sources for medical initiatives following the loss of a previously pursued grant opportunity. Mr. Mark Beauchamp stated that funding through the County's indigent health program may be a possibility. though additional discussions with county auditors would be required to determine eligibility and implementation. Mr. Sparks also referenced previous discussions regarding a potential 911 Nurse Navigator program. Mr Watts reported that Paul Hopkins, Director of 911, is willing to meet to discuss the program and indicated that implementation may not be difficult. Mr. Sparks suggested scheduling a meeting with Mr. Hopkins and Dr. Wilson to explore the concept further. c) Update on Networking and Communication Mr. Sparks provided an update on networking and communication efforts, particularly regarding the regional Continuum of Care (CoC) serving Wichita Falls and a 16-county area. He reported that the current liaison between the CoC and the Nortex Regional Planning Commission. Diane Morgan, will retire at the end of the month. Mr. Sparks noted that Ms. Morgan manages several programs, including housing and HIV/AIDS initiatives, and that her position is funded in part through a HUD planning grant. He stated that the position has been posted and that the committee will need to wait to see how the role is filled and what direction the new liaison may take. Mr. Sparks explained that Nortex currently serves as the lead agency for the Continuum of Care because no other entity stepped forward when the program was established approximately fourteen years ago, While the arrangement has functioned well, he noted that Nortex is also a service provider, which can present a potential conflict of interest when administering grants for services it may also provide. He suggested that it could be beneficial for a city or county entity to assume that role in the future. City-County Homeless Advisory Committee 01/14/2026 Minutes Page 3 of 6 Page 22 of 154 Ms. Amy Fagan asked whether the City could administer the program through its offices. Mr. McKechnie stated that the City has discussed the possibility and indicated that the most appropriate location might be within the City's Building Services Department, where the Neighborhood Revitalization function currently exists. He noted that the role could potentially align with neighborhood revitalization efforts, but emphasized that the City would first want to meet with Nortex to discuss the possibility before considering taking on that responsibility. Mr. Jenkins noted that additional exploration would be needed to determine how such a structure could function within a 16-county region and suggested reviewing how other communities have structured similar arrangements. Mr. Beauchamp asked about the funding source for Ms. Morgan's position. Mr. Sparks explained that part of her role is supported through a HUD planning grant, while Nortex funds the majority of her salary due to her management of other programs. Mr. Beauchamp noted that if regional administration were challenging for the City, the County could explore whether it could assist. Ms. Fagan added that her organization serves multiple counties through various programs and may also be able to explore adjustments if needed. Committee members agreed that all potential options should be considered. Mr. Jenkins asked how the Continuum of Care will operate temporarily while Nortex seeks a replacement. Mr. Sparks stated that the position has been posted, but he was unsure who would assume responsibility in the interim. He suggested that the committee consider meeting with Dennis Wilde, Executive Director of Nortex, to discuss the program and its future direction. Committee members expressed support for scheduling a meeting to gather additional information. Mr. Sparks also noted that strengthening coordination through the Continuum of Care could improve collaboration and coordinated entry processes and potentially bring additional funding opportunities to the region. Mr. Jenkins suggested forming a small working group that could continue to review and report back to the committee on developments after an initial meeting with Nortex leadership. Mr. Sparks also shared that Faith Mission plans to implement a new Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) platform called "Resident Tracker," designed specifically for homeless shelters and widely used nationwide. He noted that the system is more user-friendly and cost-effective than the current HUD-designed platform and could potentially serve as an HMIS platform for a Continuum of Care if needed in the future. Then, Mr. Sparks introduced guest Roger Reeves, who attended the meeting on behalf of the Thomas Fowler American Legion Post 169 and Catholic Charities, noting that Janice McCullough from the Veterans Office was unable to attend. Mr. Reeves explained that he volunteers with Catholic Charities and works with the Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) program, which assists homeless veterans. He stated that the program helps connect veterans with housing resources, employment assistance, and potential eligibility for VA benefits. Mr. Reeves shared that his organization has successfully helped several veterans transition off the streets through the program. He provided contact cards to committee members and encouraged them to reach out if they encounter homeless veterans who may need assistance. He noted that while Catholic Charities does not currently have funding available for emergency hotel placements after hours, the program can help veterans access longer-term housing solutions and supportive services. City-County Homeless Advisory Committee 01/14/2026 Minutes Page 4of6 Page 23 of 154 Mr. Sparks noted that Faith Mission has begun working more closely with Catholic Charities and expressed appreciation for their collaboration. He also emphasized that Wichita Falls has many organizations providing resources to individuals experiencing homelessness, but that the current crisis highlights the need for stronger coordination and collaboration among service providers. During the discussion, Mr. Reeves also provided an update on the Homes for Freedom initiative, which is constructing small homes for veterans transitioning out of homelessness. He reported that a demonstration tiny home has already been completed and that construction on another unit is expected to begin soon, with each home taking approximately six to eight months to complete. Mr. Reeves noted that additional land will likely be needed to expand the program and offered to assist in coordinating with project leaders, including Christine Benson and Kenny Reynolds. Mr. Reeves emphasized the importance of supporting veterans experiencing homelessness and stated that connecting them with benefits and housing resources is a key priority of his volunteer efforts. Mr. Sparks thanked Mr. Reeves for attending and for sharing information about available resources. He then asked if there was any additional new business or discussion from the committee. Additional Business - Right-of-Way Cleanup Coordination & Additional Discussion Mr. Jenkins provided a brief update on coordination with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) regarding the cleanup of homeless encampments on state right-of-way. Mr. Jenkins reported that TxDOT has provided a point of contact, Brian Moore, who will assist with coordination when such situations arise. He explained that, depending on site conditions, TxDOT may use equipment such as skid steers. dump trucks. and other machinery to perform cleanup operations. Estimated response timelines vary depending on the circumstances. with general cleanup operations typically taking one to two weeks, while contractor responses may take one to four weeks. In situations involving full cleanup that includes hazardous material removal, TxDOT estimates approximately 1 week from the time the contractor begins work. Mr. Watts asked whether the City frequently encounters large encampments similar to those seen in other communities. Mr. Jenkins responded that such situations are relatively uncommon in Wichita Falls, though they do occur occasionally. He noted that when encampments are located on state right-of-way, coordination with TxDOT is necessary to determine appropriate cleanup procedures. Mr. Beauchamp expressed concern regarding situations involving hazardous materials discovered during encampment cleanups. He noted that County road and bridge staff are not trained hazardous material specialists and asked whether there is a unified plan or state-level assistance available for such circumstances. Mr. Jenkins indicated that he would follow up with TxDOT to determine what additional resources or protocols may be available. Mr. McKechnie noted that the City maintains contractors on standby to assist with right-of-way issues and can typically respond quickly when cleanup or mitigation is required. City-County Homeless Advisory Committee 01/14/2026 Minutes Page 5 of 6 Page 24 of 154 Mr. Watts then asked Mr. Dotson whether Community Healthcare Center regularly sees individuals experiencing homelessness among its patients. Mr. Dotson stated that the clinic does encounter individuals who are homeless; however, because patient information must be documented, individuals who can provide an address may not always be recorded as homeless in official data. He noted that, anecdotally, the clinic does serve individuals experiencing homelessness. Before concluding the discussion, Mr. Sparks suggested that he, along with James McKechnie, Amy Fagan, and Jeff Jenkins, meet with Dennis Wildey of Nortex Regional Planning Commission to discuss Continuum of Care coordination further. Committee members agreed that such a meeting would be beneficial, and Chair Sparks indicated he would work to schedule the meeting. 4. Next Meeting Date. After discussion, the Committee scheduled its next meeting for Wednesday, March 18, 2026, at 4:00 p.m.. at the same location. 5. Adjournment.

CALL TO ORDER The meeting was called to order by Chairman, Mr. Jeremy Woodward, at 2:01 p.m. II. PUBLIC COMMENTS Chairman Woodward asked if there were any comments from the public for items not on the agenda. With no response, Chairman Woodward closed public comments. III.OATH OF OFFICE & SWEARING IN MEMBERS Director Medellin introduced the new Commission members (Lisa Stephens-Musick and Naomi Barron who were present, and Luz Lerma not in attendance). Christal Cates led the Commissioners with the Oath of Office and then completed the swearing in of the Commission members. Page 26 of 154 Planning and Zoning 2 January 14, 2026 IV. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Chairman Woodward called for a motion to adopt the December 10, 2025, minutes. Commissioner Brady Enlow made a motion to approve the minutes as presented and Commissioner Blake Haney seconded the motion. With no comments from the public, the motion passed unanimously with a vote of 8-0 in favor. V. REGULAR AGENDA Chairman Woodward introduced the case and noted that the applicant is Brad Rogers. He asked if there was a motion to approve the case, Commissioner Doug McCulloch made the motion to approve the case and Commissioner Jack Browne seconded the motion. 1) C 26-01 6580 Jacksboro Highway— RV Park Consider taking action to allow a recreational vehicle park in a General Commercial (GC) zoning district. Director Medellin presented the case and informed the Commission that this is the third part in this proposed RV development and explained that this was presented to the Commission this past November as part of a rezone application. The second part took place just a few weeks ago at City Council, where the rezone was approved and the ordinance was signed and has gone into effect. This, being the last part of the project, is the conditional use permit for the RV park. Director Medellin showed slides of the property that is located on the southwest corner of Jacksboro Highway and Rathgeber Road and noted the land uses in the immediate area. He noted a small residential subdivision to the northeast of the applicant's vacant parcel, to the north is vacant land that is zoned commercial. He added, to the east there are some industrial uses in the unincorporated Wichita County, and to the west are a few more residential uses, some multifamily uses and a cemetery as well. To the south is agricultural land that is outside of the city limits. He explained that the developer is proposing a high-end RV park that will have multiple amenities for their visitors, including everything from a clubhouse to water features, to storage, and even small rental casitas that can be rented for the night. The current proposed site plan has a total of 144 pad sites. From the initial conversations with the developer, staff did have a couple of concerns, specifically with the residential subdivision, directly to the northeast. Those being noise, visual and traffic impacts. To address those, the design team has laid out a site that works with some buffer areas and works with the access points to help mitigate some of those concerns. Director Medellin pointed out the proposed detention pond along the northeast corner and mentioned a separate detention pond that essentially borders the boundary of the residential subdivision. Those ponds, as well as a proposed paved valley, will add physical separation. He told the Commissioners that we generally include, with any commercial development adjacent to residential districts, that screening or visual separation requirement to help protect those residential uses. Director Medellin then discussed the concern for noise, pointing out that one of the respondents to our notification of the project had a concern for the use of generators. But he clarified that the proposed park would have utility connections at each RV site. That helped alleviate those concerns. Lastly is the concern for traffic. He pointed out that the lot does have a unique feature since it has access to the portion of Page 27 of 154 Planning and Zoning 3 January 14, 2026 Jacksboro Highway that is two-way traffic, which will allow for both north and southbound access to the site and egress from the site in the future. This will essentially allow all traffic to be directed to that Jacksboro entrance. Additional photos of the property and the surrounding areas were shown to give a better view of the uses in the area. It was stated that there were 29 notices sent out to everyone within 200 feet of the proposed site, and out of all the notices sent, there were nine returned that were opposed to the development. The majority of those opposed to the project had concerns regarding their property values and felt the proposed development would decrease the value of their properties. Director Medellin said, after taking into consideration the proposed design, and the willingness of the owner to cooperate and implement some of those elements that will reduce those concerns, staff does recommend the approval of the conditional use permit for the RV park at 68480 Jacksboro Highway with the following conditions: 1)That the property is platted prior to the issuance of a building permit. 2)That the access point be taken from Jacksboro Highway and approved by TxDOT. 3)That all screening requirements be installed, separating the commercial use from those residential districts and uses. 4)The subject site plan complies with all the design guidelines of the zoning ordinance within Section 5640. Chairman Woodward asked if the applicant was in the audience and if they wanted to make a statement, but they declined at this time. Chairman Woodward opened discussion with the audience, but no additional comments were made. The discussion was then opened up to among the Commission. Commissioner Brady Enlow asked what kind of screening might be used? Director Medellin stated that the ordinance specifically requires a 6-foot privacy fence but noted that the ordinance does give the Director the opportunity to accept alternatives. He added, at that close proximity, we want something solid. He also stated that landscaping is allowed to be used as an alternative, but that wouldn't be good for screening for the property. It was asked of Commissioner Enlow if he could add some insight regarding property values. He explained that he can't definitively say in every single case that there is a trend or an absolute, if this is a discount because of its close proximity to an RV park. Adding that it is a case-by-case basis. He said he doesn't have a good answer for the question at this point, as he would need to look at the data, or look at comparable data. Commissioner Lisa Stephens-Musick (former Chief Appraiser - Wichita Appraisal District) said that it's often a property owner that will say that they feel like there will be influence to their property value. She noted that until you have data to support that, an appraiser really doesn't have one way or the other to determine that. Commissioner McCulloch said he understands that there will be utility hookups, but does that mean generators will not be allowed? Stating that generators do put out noise, even with a solid wood fence. Director Medellin stated that the applicant had advised staff that they would be implementing quiet times during night hours, and he invited the applicant to come forward and give additional information regarding generators and quiet time. Mr. Brad Rogers came forward and told the Commission about the fencing that will be put in place and discussed the "quiet times" that will be implemented from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am and said he can't see why a generator would be used when there are utilities provided. There was discussion regarding the fact that this case is at 30% opposition, and what that does to the legislative. Director Medellin clarified that the supermajority rule is only applicable to zoning amendments, whether that is tax amendments or Page 28 of 154 Planning and Zoning 4 January 14, 2026 boundary changes. The Commission has already been awarded the authority to approve conditional use permits. With no other questions or comments, Chairman Woodward took the motion to a vote. The motion passed with 8-0 in favor. 2) Chairman Woodward opened the public hearing at 2:16 pm. R 25-10 2100 & 2226 Airport Drive & 3601 Central Freeway Consider taking action to rezone +/- 37.61 acres of land from General Commercial (GC) to Light Industrial (LI) located at 2100 & 2226 Airport Drive (95.825 Acres, Abstract 344 — T. Currey, & 13.35 acres out of the R. Brown Survey, Abstract 522), and +/- 60.87 acres of land from Multi-Family Residential (MFR) to Light Industrial (LI) zoning district located at 2100 Airport Drive, 2226 Airport Drive, Property ID #107232, and Property ID #107235 (95.825 Acres, T. Currey Survey, Abstract 344; and 21.36 acres out of the R. Brown Survey, Abstract 522), and amend the Land Use Plan from High Density Residential to Light Industrial to allow for the construction of a data center. Director Medellin informed the Commission that this case has multiple tracts and changes to multiple zoning districts, which was included in the description of the case. He gave details of the location of the tracts, which includes large acreage between 144 and Spur 325, just on the teardrop that interconnects with 287 (just north of the interchange). And it is just north of Airport Drive. The site currently is undeveloped. Mr. Rogers came to staff looking at the potential for a data center, which these sites are selected based on their proximity to transmission lines or substations. With one bisecting the subject property, it made it an opportunity for the owner and for the developers to come in and propose this specific use. This site is isolated because to the northeastern side is bounded by a railroad the direct (by Spur 325) and on the west there are some industrial uses that are directly adjacent to 1-44. To the north there is some undeveloped land, and to the south (Airport Drive) there are a couple of uses. One being a church on the corner of Spur 325, the manufactured home park, a car wash on the corner of I-44/Airport drive, and then some undeveloped land. Staff advised the applicant and developer that there would need to be a cleanup of the zoning designations for the subject tracts. The best option for their proposed use would be Light Industrial. Director Medellin explained that for data centers, our zoning ordinance doesn't specifically reference data centers, however, we have likened them to warehouses essentially just metal buildings that are used to store items within that building. That fits within a Light Industrial designation. With that, the applicant and property owner submitted petitions to designate the entire subject tract from Multi Family Residential use and General Commercial to the Light Industrial designation, which is currently adjacent to the railroads. Director Medellin proceeded to provide slides of the subject site and surrounding properties. He explained that they are proposing nine separate structures, two stories each, with each floor approximately 7,500 square feet. Each building would be approximately 150,000 square feet, and the entire campus about 1.35 million square feet. The Commission was shown the layout that included parking, detention, and also drives to connect the buildings. 4.00 The rezone map was shown to show that they would just be extending that Light Industrial district boundary to the northeast, to encompass the multiple tracts. Then to amend the land use plan to change it from high density residential to light industrial. Page 29 of 154 Planning and Zoning 5 January 14, 2026 Director Medellin then presented the site plan again to talk about some of the impacts. One of the biggest concerns that staff had was water usage, and their potential use Akr of our water system. Working closely with their team and our Public Works/Engineering department, we have calculated that their use (because it's a closed loop system)will use minimal water. Roughly 500,000 gallons to fill the system and have it operational. The only use of water will be for domestic use, which will be their bathrooms, their irrigation system and also a humidifier to help reduce static electricity within the facility. This will be a minimal amount of water used. Some of the concerns received from our responses were traffic, which staff felt there would be a slight impact on traffic during the construction phase. However, because of its proximity to those two highway systems, and even Airport drive (which is a TxDOT maintained roadway), there will be fast maneuverability for traffic coming in and off the site for the construction of the facilities. Once it's operational, then the traffic impact will drop significantly as compared to the construction phase. Staff did notify adjacent property owners within 200 feet of the subject sites. A total of 17 notices went out, and staff received nine responses which were all in favor of the proposed rezone. Taking into consideration the end use of the data center, which is essentially just a warehouse that stores these servers and the process which will have minimal impacts and usage to our water supply, staff does recommend approval of the zoning request of 37.61 acres of land from the General Commercial to Light Industrial, and the changing of 60.87 acres of land from Multi Family Residential to Light Industrial at the addresses of 2100 Airport Drive and 2226 Airport Drive, and then amend that land use plan from high density residential to light industrial. Chairman Woodward asked if the applicant was in the audience, and if they would like to make a presentation. The applicant and the developer were present and said they would answer any questions the Commission might have. Chairman Woodward asked if anyone in the audience had any comments or questions. No additional comments or questions were made. The public hearing was closed at 2:24 pm by Chairman Woodward. He asked if there was a motion to approve the case. Commissioner Jack Browne made the motion to approve the case, and Commissioner Blake Haney seconded the motion. Chairman Woodward stated that the case is closed for public discussion and opened the floor for discussion to the Commissioners. Commissioner McCulloch asked for clarification on why there were multiple listings of acreage in the action to be taken, and then there are only two listed in the motion. Director Medellin stated that staff were able to condense some of the legal descriptions because they were under the same abstract. It is still a total of 324 acres. Commissioner Naomi Barron asked if the water was potable and was informed that it was. Commissioner Browne asked if there will be sidewalks installed as part of the development and was informed that since those are both TxDOT maintained highways staff will have to defer to them if they choose to install any. The City's input is that it is important for accessibility that people be able to walk along that area. Mr. Steve McDaniel, who is part of the development process for the project, said it is something they will consider and are happy and willing to work with the Page 30 of 154 Planning and Zoning 6 January 14, 2026 city, as long as TxDOT is on board with it. He added that they do a lot of housing projects across the state, and they actively push to make sure that there is connectivity for the local community. Chairman Woodward took the motion to vote, and the motion passed with a vote of 8-0. 3) Chairman Woodward opened the public hearing at 2:28 pm. R 26-01 1712 Seymour Highway Consider taking action to rezone +/- 0.48 acres of land located at 1712 Seymour Hwy. (Lots 53, 54, & 55, Block 11, Clift) from River Development District (RDD) to General Commercial (GC) zoning district to allow for automotive sales. The applicant is Roman Saldana. Director Medellin stated that the petition is to change the zoning district to allow for a change in use of a particular structure, an adaptive reuse. He described where the subject site was located and added that the site was a former muffler shop, and for the last couple of years it transitioned to glass sales. The owner would like the use to be allowed for used auto sales. The River Development district is geared towards recreational uses to complement the river. With this site being a distance from the river, staff felt that a rezone to the General Commercial District to support that use could be merited. The Commission was shown zoning maps and slides of the property, and properties in the area. It was noted that the nearby cemetery and some of the properties on the south side of Seymour Highway are General Commercial and stated that the General Commercial district does resume once it gets closer to Central Freeway and Brook Avenue. It was pointed out that there are portions, in that area, on Seymour Highway that still remain in the River Development District. The lots around the subject property include a vacant tract, a headstone engraving facility and a vacant convenience store. In addition, there are a couple of other commercial uses just west of the subject property. Staff notified the required adjacent property owners and only received one response that was in favor of the proposed change. In considering the change in use, staff consider the impacts on the future development of the property and adjacent properties. Staff felt that the nature of used auto sales will primarily be during business hours (8:00-5:00), and occasionally on Saturdays. We didn't feel that there would be a great impact on the area, especially with Seymour Highway access to the site. Staff does recommend approval of the proposed rezoning of the .48 acres of land located at 1712 Seymour Highway from the River Development District to the General Commercial District. It was offered to the applicant to make any additional comments, but he declined. Chairman Woodward opened comments and questions to the public, and no one came forward. Chairman Woodward closed the public hearing at 2:33pm. Commissioner McCulloch made a motion to approve the case, and Commissioner Haney seconded the motion. Discussion was opened to the Commissioners, and there were no additional comments or questions. Page 31 of 154 Planning and Zoning 7 January 14, 2026 Chairman Woodward moved on to a vote, and the motion passed 8-0. 4) Chairman Woodward declared this public hearing open at 2:34pm. R 26-02 3901 Welling Lane & 5300 Kiel Lane Consider taking action to rezone +/- 188.12 acres of land from Single Family-1 (SF-1) to Light Industrial (LI) located at 3901 Wellington Lane (186.88 Acres, Abstract 66, Dembreski) and 5300 Kiel Lane (Lot 7, Block 1, Miller Height Addition), and amend the Land Use Plan from Low Density Residential to Light Industrial to allow for the construction of a solar array. Applicant is Wichita One, LLC. Director Medellin stated that the rezone before the Commission is in support of a past decision that the Commission has made. The subject site is just northwest of a rezone that was brought before the board within the last year for a data center located at Wellington/City View/Kiel. Due to the energy that the data center will consume (that draw is regulated by ERCOT), the developer would like to move forward sooner than ERGOT. To do this he is willing to provide energy for the data center by developing a solar array that would be located to the southeast of this subject site. The subject site is undeveloped land in the northwestern part of the city. The Commission was shown slides of the uses near the site, generally large tract residential uses. There are some residential uses (to the east on Kiel and also further north on Wellington, and south as well). Some commercial industrial uses in the area are an industrial pipe supply company, as well as a contractor storage yard that was previously approved by this board within this past year. When looking at and considering the proposed use of solar array, staff looked at impacts to the land for future development. For this proposed use, we are just looking at small support structures to hold a solar panel up, additional connectivity connections to electrical equipment (inverters) and energy storage systems. Overall, the land will hardly be touched, which could be redeveloped if other opportunities arise. The other concern that came up from this particular petition with Sheppard Air Force Base, and their concern regarding reflections off the array and then creating bird habitats. Before the applicant submitted his petition, he worked with Forward Wichita Falls, and the Sheppard Air Force Base and was able to come into an agreement with them and had a memorandum of understanding signed that would allow SAFB, and the applicant, to negotiate and discuss mitigating measures. The developer has already committed to doing himself using particular types of panels that reduce and absorb that light. Using netting around the panels themselves that would prevent any wildlife from creating habitats underneath them. He did receive the support from SAFB. Additional slides with views of the subject property and surrounding properties were shown to the Commission. The rural nature of the area was shown, and how the homes in the area are separated by acreages. Director Medellin showed the proposed layout for not only the data center, but also the array, and how they will be connected and support one another. It was then shown on the rezone map that essentially all that would be done is extending what was previously granted from the southeast, to encompass this subject tract (188 Acres) to allow for him to offset some of those energy needs for the data center. And then, changing that land use plan designation to Light Industrial. Staff did notify neighboring properties. We only received four responses, three of them being in favor, and one was opposed. The one that was opposed did have some concerns being next to an array and concerns about the creation of electromagnetic fields from this. Organizations that have looked into the matter Page 32 of 154 Planning and Zoning 8 January 14, 2026 (The World Health Organization and the National Institute of Health) have all said that the non-ionized magnetic field created by arrays are not attributable to any health causes or concerns. They don't have the same DNA modifications as X-ray machines would. Looking at the proposed use, the potential impacts, the assurances that they have already granted, and have received support from Sheppard, staff does recommend the rezone of 188.12 acres of land located at 3901 Wellington and 5300 Kiel Lane from Single Family-1 to Light Industrial and amending the land use plan from low density residential to Light Industrial. The applicant was not in attendance. Chairman Woodward closed the public hearing at 2:42pm. Commissioner Jack Browne made the motion to approve the case, and Commissioner Blake Haney seconded the motion. Chairman Woodward opened discussion among the Commissioners. Commissioner Enlow questioned if the Memorandum of Understanding is legally binding between the parties. Director Medellin stated that it was, until one of them opts out of that understanding. Adding that there are terms that they have to follow to do that. If they don't do the preventative measures, our airport zoning regulations can enforce those mitigating measures that are agreed upon to the point of being citations. It was also asked if staff has had any discussions with SAFB, and it was stated that staff was in the middle of talks the whole time between the applicant, Forward WF and our Sheppard Liaisons. Commissioner Barron asked if there was an opportunity for an actual contract instead of a memorandum being drafted. Director Medellin said the Air Force Base has opted for the memorandum, and they usually use these for any solar array or energy consumption, or anything that creates these habitats. He stated that it's the AF Base's preferred method. With no further questions or comments, Chairman Woodward took the motion to a vote. The motion passed 8-0. VI.

REGULAR AGENDA Planning and Zoning Training Director Medellin introduced himself, new board members and newly appointed staff, then noted that Christal Cates (from the Planning Department) will now be the P&Z board Liaison. He also explained the P&Z Board is a special board that the Page 37 of 154 Planning and Zoning 3 February 11, 2026 State and the City have adopted, and granted specific land use regulation authorities to. Some of the items that Director Medellin touched on regarding training: Attendance — If attendance with a board member becomes an issue, Council does have the ability to grant a new member. Required training — There is required State training for all board members on the Open Meetings Act and the Public Information Act. Being a publicly appointed board, all meetings must have a public notice posted in advance of a meeting. All communication (not only with us) is subject to open records requests, including texts and emails amongst yourselves on personal devices. • The Open Meetings Act now requires the posted notice to be 72 hours in advance of the meeting. (That's anytime there is five or more Board members being together to talk about zoning items.) We can no longer include the day of the posting or the day of the meeting, and weekend days can not be included. So, basically a meeting must be posted about a week in advance. The notice will specifically outline what will be discussed and what actions to be taken. There can be criminal penalties if the board does ever convene outside of a public meeting notice. Director Medellin explained that includes conversations via text or email (if there is a group chat). He informed the Commissioners to be careful whenever there is four or more of them in a room (or in a setting, or at an event) and to give each other space. • Director Medellin then discussed the Public Information Act. He explained that any email communication, or any documents/items that the Commissioners have in relation to a specific case, either internally or amongst a Commissioner and staff, is subject to an open records request. He noted that the laws allow for that. Atty. Monica Aguon (Deputy City Attorney) gave a brief presentation on ethics for the Board. She stated that a couple of rules within the Texas Local Government Code are applicable to the board members, and that the focus is on public transparency, so that there are not any conflicts of interest with the Commission members, that are being hidden. She cited Chapters 171 and 176 (disclosure requirements), and said a conflict disclosure statement is required if you, or a family member, has employment or other business relationship with a vendor. (Vendor is defined as the applicants that come in for a P&Z case.) She explained that a family member is defined based on the local government code, and said "that's going to include you and certain family members, based on your relationships within degrees of consanguinity and/ or affinity," and will also explain their duty to either disclose, or disclose and abstain from participation and/or voting. Chapter 176—Three ways to be prompted to make a disclosure statement under 176: • Taxable income that one would receive - If you have a relationship with an applicant where you get taxable income of more than $2500 in the preceding 12 months before the action comes before the board, then you need to make a disclosure statement. You will need to contact the City Clerk, Marie Balthrop, and explain the nature and extent of the conflict of interest. A form will be filled out, Page 38 of 154 Planning and Zoning 4 February 11, 2026 and that will go on file. She stated that when you are considering what constitutes taxable income, it excludes investment income. • Gifts — If within the 12 months preceding the action, you receive a gift or a grouping of smaller gifts (that have an aggregate value of $100 or more), you will need to make a disclosure, and filing, for that as well. For taxable income and gifts, a disclosure, and the filing of the disclosure, must be done before the contract is executed. For the P&Z Commission, before a vote is taken on an item/case, or have an agreement on what the board will decide to do on a particular case. (Or to be done when you realize that there is a consideration for it.) • Familial relationship — The disclosure, and the filing of the disclosure, is to be done whenever the relationship exists. Family relationship is defined by the code as the third degree of consanguinity or the second degree of affinity. Consanguinity is relationships by blood, and affinity is the relationship by marriage. If there is a question of the degree of an affinity, please contact the City Legal Department. Atty. Aguon discussed the level of penalties based on the value at issue. The penalties could be a misdemeanor or higher, with jail time and/or fines. Chapter 171 —Affidavit and abstention from voting required. Prohibits a local public official from voting on or participating in a matter involving a business entity, or real property, in which the official has a substantial interest. If an action on the matter will result in a special economic effect on the business that is distinguishable from the effect on the public, or if reasonably foreseeable that an action will have a special economic effect on the value of the property, distinguishable from its effect on the public. Atty. Aguon said they will need to be aware of it if they have a substantial interest in the applicant that comes before them. She said you can have a substantial interest in the real property that's coming in front of the Commission, and that is going to be based on value. Or you can have a substantial interest in the business itself that comes before the Commission. If it is possible that the action on the action item before the board is going to result in a special economic effect on either the benefit or the value of the land, then you will need to make a disclosure. She added, for the substantial interest in a business entity, there is going to be two ways that will cause reason to make the disclosure, either how much you own in the business or how much you receive by way of income from the business. Business Entity - • Owns 10 percent or more of the voting stock or shares of the "business entity" OR owns either 10 percent or more or $15,000 or more of the fair market value of the business entity; OR • Funds received by the person from the business entity exceed 10 percent of the person's gross income for the previous year. Real Property— • Interest is an equitable or legal ownership with a fair market value of $2,500 or more. She told the board that you don't have to have a name on a paper necessarily, so keep that in mind. Once your ownership exceeds more than $2,500 of the fair market value, then you will have to make the disclosure. Under 171, you have to consider whether you can participate. For that, you will need to go to Marie Balthrop and she can get the disclosure form for you. When you have to make *co - these disclosures, you will have to file the affidavit and possibly abstain, before the Page 39 of 154 Planning and Zoning 5 February 11, 2026 vote. It was noted that she said they would "possibly" have to abstain, and that is because if the majority of the Commission has to abstain and file the disclosures, then you won't have to abstain. That is so business could move forward. It's important to communicate with the legal department and the city clerk's office. For criminal penalties under 171 — would be a Class A misdemeanor. Confinement in the county jail (up to one year) along with possibly a $4,000 fine or both. Director Medellin then continued the training, and discussed the duties of the Commissioners. The Planning and Zoning Commission is given the authority to name private streets. Those are streets that are usually in commercial developments. The board also has the authority to name public streets. That is done through the platting process, and does have specific requirements to ensure that there is no duplication, and for ease of emergency services. Some of the other duties of the board that Director Medellin discussed, and explained, are: • Platting (Preliminary plats, Final/Major plats, Final/Minor plats) • Site Plan appeals (Reviewing conditions placed on a site plan if the applicant requests such an appeal to the Commission) • Conditional Uses • Rezoning and Text Amendments (Recommendations to City Council) • Plans for city growth (Thoroughfare Plan, Annexations, etc.) • Modification of Subdivision Regulations Then, Director Medellin talked about the increase in requests for RV parks. With some of our future, and bigger projects (Data Centers), staff is trying to be proactive and prepare for workforce housing. For one of the planned projects, there could be up to 2,000 contractors working on the site at one time. Staff has looked at other communities that have had these types of projects, and housing has become an issue. Hotels/motels are basically fully occupied, essentially eliminating their convention or meeting spaces. He stated that our current ordinance on RV parks is geared more towards tourism versus the temporary nature of workforce housing. The intent of a workforce housing plan would be: • To provide temporary housing solutions. • To provide regulations to ensure safety. • Have the Land revert back to prior use. Discussion was then opened up to the Commission to get their thoughts or concerns on creating temporary housing regulations. There were some questions regarding our current manufactured parks. Director Medellin explained that the city has only five designated (zoned Manufactured Residential Zoning District *MHR) manufactured parks. They are all locked in at their locations, and the only way any of them could expand is to buy the land around them and rezone the purchased land to make it MHR. He also added that with the existing manufactured home parks there is only about 200 spaces available, so not enough to accommodate the expected influx of temporary workforce. He added that most of the workers will have trailers and/or equipment with them that they will be storing next to their temporary home. That is another reason we may want to distinguish between your everyday manufactured home park. Page 40 of 154 Planning and Zoning 6 February 11, 2026 Director Medellin reiterated that he wanted to create some discussion with the Commissioners on this issue, to be proactive, and to give the board some time to think about it and/or discuss it. Any amendment that would be proposed would have to go through the normal routes, workshops and public meeting, with an actual presentation of specific language. Then a recommendation from the Commission, which would then lead to a presentation to the City Council. So, it will still be a while for that to happen. Lastly, Director Medellin discussed plans for managing city growth that is considered by Planning and Zoning: • Land use elements • Stormwater Master Plan • Housing Plans • Historic Preservation Plans • Airport Plans • Transportation plans IX. OTHER BUSINESS Director Medellin gave a quick City Council update. Two of the rezoning cases that the Commission recommended were approved by the City Council. One of the cases has been tabled. There was some concern from the Council, and the public, of our zoning ordinance, and it being open-ended, with this being an avenue to interject a different use than what's being proposed. The Council was wanting to put conditions on a rezone, which isn't allowed. (It's called conditional zoning). They were wanting to exercise land use rights, or regulation authority, that hasn't been granted to them by ordinance, or by the adoption of an ordinance. So, they tabled that one item. Staff is working with that applicant, and we will likely be coming back to the Commission with a little bit of a different product. Probably in the form of a PUD versus an outright base zoning of Light Industrial. X.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES Chairman Haney asked for a motion to approve the December 16, 2025 and January 15, 2026, minutes. Councilman Tom Taylor made the motion, and Mr. Ray Dixon Jr. seconded the motion. Chairman Haney asked if anyone had any comments or questions, and none were made. The motion was then taken to vote, and it passed with a vote of 4-0 (Note: 5th board member arrived after agenda item II). III. FINANCIAL UPDATE Director Fabian Medellin gave a quick financial update. Current funds in the account with interest accrued is a little over 1.6 billion. The split of the funds has been allocated to three project types, 40% towards public projects, 40% towards private projects, and 20%for discretionary funds for the board to use how they see fit and can award to any special projects. Currently there is a little over$700,000 in the public and private funds each, and $361,000 in the discretionary fund. The board has approved, and allocated funds, for five projects. 1) $200,000 - Façade Improvements (exterior improvements within the zone) and design assistance. Page 42 of 154 Tax Increment Financing#3 Board Meeting PAGE 2 February 17,2026 2) $75,000—Civic Art 3) $10,000 - House of Empowerment— Design assistance 4) $10,000—Zoom Zoom#5— Design assistance 5) $50,000 (not to exceed)—Zoom Zoom#5— Installation of new fuel pumps ($345,000 Total allocations) Current value remaining in each fund for future allocations: $653,000— Private fund $648,000—Public fund $161,000—Discretionary fund Director Medellin stated the TIF#3 fund is set to expire the end of 2029, but staff is working through state requirements for the process to extend the zone's term for an additional five years. Funds from the account need to be allocated before expiration of the TIF#3 Zone. IV. PUBLIC HEARING Public Hearing regarding a funding request from the House of Empowerment Ministries (New Day Empowerment Center), 511 Mississippi, in support of their community outreach services (meals and life-skill development) through facility upgrades, specifically the remodel, expansion and installation of a commercial kitchen and food preparation area. Chairman Haney opened the public hearing at 5:55pm. Ms. Karen Montgomery-Gagne presented the case and indicated staff have worked with New Day Empowerment Center, also known as House of Empowerment, since spring of 2025. She stated they have requested $275,764 with $286,000 being the actual project costs for .000 this one component of their improvements. Staff presentation highlighted the location of House of Empowerment Ministries, noting it was in TIF #3 but outside the 100-year flood plain. Photos were referenced of the facility and surrounding area illustrating existing conditions.The agency serves approximately 100 people every Tuesday evening with home-style cooked meals as part of their recovery programs. The meals have been prepared in a very small, cramped kitchen area and the agency have fed many that are homeless(including teens)that don't have any place to go. The meals help meet basic human needs in order to move forward with the next steps in the addiction recovery classes offered by the organization. Most of the clients are people that just need some help who are (TIF #3, District #2 and Wichita Falls) often marginalized but are trying to move forward with life, obtain jobs and re/connect with family. The agency volunteers making the food try to prepare large-scale meals and serve them using one stove with four burners which only works intermittently. Most volunteers are having to bring the food pre-cooked to the facility, having to store it in one refrigerator, warm the food in the small oven (if it works that week)and utilize chafing dishes to ensure proper temperature every Tuesday. This is a multi- day, very labor-intensive process requiring numerous volunteer cooks. It was noted House of Empowerment also provides classes and outreach services and is a registered tax-exempt entity with the State of Texas. Staff have worked closely with House of Empowerment for at least six months, and the TIF#3 Board previously authorized $10,000 to assist them getting started with a design professional. GBA Architects and their construction partners have worked with the applicant to develop the current proposal and preliminary site plan with cost estimates. There are some other major facility improvements, but those are not included in the current funding request. Ms. Montgomery-Gagne explained the applicant is looking at a significant expansion of the pantry Page 43 of 154 Tax Increment Financing*3 Board Meeting PAGE 3 February 17,2028 area to include an ice machine, a freezer to store food, a larger refrigerator, and having a stove functional for large scale meals with six burners so they can prepare the food at the facility for their outreach. In addition, there will be a large stainless steel work area, expanded kitchen footprint and 3-compartment sink. Staff explained House of Empowerment has requested significant portion of the commercial kitchen cost from the TIF fund because their source of funding for the outreach program is primarily through donations. Staff presented a timeline of collaboration with House of Empowerment regarding TIF#3 funds. Staff highlighted the project costs and pointed out that the$10,000 previously awarded for design assistance was subtracted from the total project costs outlined from the contractor/architect estimate in the packet which is the amount the agency is seeking. An additional pre-development meeting was held with project representatives and actual costs were updated to ensure ancillary costs related to asbestos abatement,etc.were incorporated. Kimberly Heiman, secretary, House of Empowerment, came forward and spoke. She gave a brief description of the work Pastor McGee does for the outreach program and in the community, noting there were many letters of support for the program along with people in attendance who support Pastor McGee. Some of the letters of support are from people who have gone through the Tuesday night outreach program. Public comments were made by many that have benefitted from the program or volunteered to help with the meals provided. Mr. John Miezel gave a testimony of his life experiences and abuse that led him into a life of addiction. In May 2022 he got sober and entered the Sober Living Incorporated. Through friends and church, he was introduced to Pastor McGee, Paula McGee, and the House of Empowerment. He described his friendship with the McGee's and his experiences with the Tuesday night outreach program, as well as the impact they have had on him. Ms. Jessica Dean, Founder and Director of Sober Living Incorporated, spoke and told the audience how the House of Empowerment had recently been scammed by a company that was hired to get the parking lot resurfaced. The agency lost almost $10,000. She explained all that is done, and the love, care and compassion that is provided to those that go to the Tuesday night dinners. She also described all of the work and care that is done to provide those meals, meals that are provided by many hands. Mr. Jimmy gave testimony of his life and noted he had been going to House of Empowerment for about a year. He noted the good work that is being done there. Mr. William Howard detailed his life experiences and addiction. Mr. Howard decided to get sober when his dad passed away. He has been involved with House of Empowerment and has been teaching a restoration class for the last year. He stated there have been countless numbers of people that have been impacted by the House of Empowerment. He mentioned that they will be having a worldwide prison ministry at the facility soon, which will be a fundraiser that will be used to minister to women who have been affected by their loved ones being in prison. He then spoke about Pastor McGee and Paula McGee, and the support they have given him. Mr. Howard has started a daily podcast on Facebook that is seen by a thousand people every day from all over the United States. He spoke on the support given to him, and the support for the program. Ms. Roberta Graham spoke on the work that is being done for the whole community. She noted the needs of the kitchen, and the difficulties of feeding so many people in a kitchen that Page 44 of 154 Tax Increment Financing#3 Board Meeting PAGE 4 February 17,2026 is not functional, from space, layout to non-reliable alliances. The program is a ministry to all -4100 people of Wichita Falls, not just to members of House of Empowerment. Ms. Elizabeth Weld works with Sober Living. She described seeing many women, children and men —homeless from addiction or other adversities - come in to get a hot meal. That is huge to them, and does a world of difference, plus brings them closer to God. This is what the program is all about. Ms. Erica Hester is a resident of Sober Living Incorporated and has been going to the restoration classes for almost a year. She has been sober, and has had a job, for almost a year. She described her experiences with the kitchen and the outreach and spoke about the work they do all through the year (not only on Tuesday nights) and noted a recent Thanksgiving. She said they went out and brought people in for the Thanksgiving dinner. They took the time to talk with them. The House of Empowerment is more than making meals, there is an impact that goes beyond that. She spoke of the impact that Thanksgiving had on her, and the impact it had on others. Enlarging the kitchen and getting it operational will bless so many more people.

Ms. Sandra Gross introduced a motion in support of House of Empowerment's request for funding to assist with facility improvements, renovation and expansion for a commercial kitchen, with the following stipulations: 1. House of Empowerment shall initially raise $75,000 that will go into the bank with a hold for this project designation. TIF#3 board must receive confirmation of fund set-aside. 2. House of Empowerment will have a 12-month time frame to raise necessary funds; if the $75,000 has not been raised, House of Empowerment will need to outline a new plan of action to the TIF#3 board and explain milestones achieved during that period. 3. TIF#3 board pledges, upon meeting the outlined stipulations, to fund up to $200,000 (for inflationary purposes) for the project. After the $75,000 is utilized, the TIF board will continue to pay for the remainder of the project up to $200,000, as a grant, based upon invoices from the contracted construction company and work performed. This will be on a reimbursement process to the contractor upon receipt of invoices. At the end of the project, after a 3-year forgivable loan period and House of Empowerment is still operational, there will be no monies owed back to the TIF#3. Councilman Tom Taylor seconded the motion. Chairman Haney took the motion to vote, and it passed unanimously with a vote of 5-0. There was discussion on ways for the House of Empowerment to raise the $75,000, and assistance was offered from some of the board members.

Agenda Item Name: Ordinance of the City of Wichita Falls, Texas, amending the Code of Ordinance to reduce the maximum speed limit in the City View Elementary School zone #1 and City View Elementary School zone #2 from twenty-five (25) miles per hour to twenty (20) miles per hour; providing for proper signage; providing a penalty clause; providing for codification and declaring an emergency Council Action to be Taken: Consider and take action on proposed Ordinance. Department Submitted: City Manager Staff Contact: Blake Jurecek, Assistant City Manager 1 . PURPOSE / DESCRIPTION City View ISD has requested that the City reduce the posted school zone speed limit along City View Drive from 25 MPH to 20 MPH to enhance student safety. Texas Transportation Code § 545.357 requires a public hearing (held at least annually upon request), which was conducted at the March 17, 2026, City Council meeting. This is the associated Ordinance that will change the posted school zone speed limit. 2. STAFF ANALYSIS / BACKGROUND / PRIOR COUNCIL ACTIONS City View Drive serves as a primary frontage/approach route to City View ISD with routine student pedestrian activity during school arrival and dismissal periods. The City currently posts 25 MPH within the school zone limits (as presently signed). The school district has requested consideration of a reduced speed limit, triggering the public hearing requirement under Texas Transportation Code § 545.357. Page 66 of 154 Safety rationale: Reducing speed in a school zone increases reaction time and reduces crash severity; the intent is to align driver behavior with school-crossing conditions. 3. BOARD REVIEW / CITIZEN INPUT City View ISD requested that the City consider reducing the posted speed limit within the school zone. City staff reviewed the request and agreed to move forward with the required public hearing, speed study, and presentation of the ordinance to the City Council for consideration. 4. RECOMMENDATION Approval of Ordinance 5. FUNDING SOURCE General Fund Traffic Engineering - Signs (1007100-77451) 6. TIMELINE As soon as the signs are printed, they will be installed. 7. ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS Council has the option to leave the speed limit as is. 8. ATTACHMENTS 1. Ord - City speed limit changes 2. Exhibit 1.Speed Study 3.

MEMORANDUM Traffic Analysis—Cityview Drive School Zone Speed Reduction TO: City Council FROM: Doug Wooster, Traffic Superintendent DATE: April 1, 2026 RE: Speed Study Analysis—Cityview Drive Corridor (City View ISD Schools) Executive Summary This memorandum presents the results of an traffic investigation conducted on Cityview Drive in the vicinity of City View Elementary School and City View Junior/Senior High School. The study was performed on March 16-17, 2026 using MH Corbin traffic analyzers deployed at four locations along the corridor, capturing both northbound and southbound traffic data across a full 24-hour period. Based on the data collected, this analysis recommends establishing a 20 mph school zone speed limit along the Cityview Drive corridor during active school zone hours. While a 20 mph limit represents a deviation greater than 15 mph below the measured 85th percentile speeds at several study points, the totality of the evidence, including the unique two-school corridor configuration, documented speeding patterns, peak-hour traffic alignment with school arrival and dismissal times, and the presence of vulnerable pedestrian populations, supports this reduction under the sound traffic engineering judgment standard set forth in 43 Texas Administrative Code § 25.23. Study Overview The traffic study encompassed four measurement locations along Cityview Drive, each instrumented with MH Corbin traffic analyzers recording data in both directions of travel. The study period ran continuously from 9:15 AM on March 16, 2026 through 9:15 AM on March 17, 2026. The four study locations were selected to capture traffic behavior at key points along the school corridor: 1. —Adjacent to City View Junior/Senior High School, near the Wrangler Drive intersection and the school's primary access point. 2. — Mid-corridor between the two school campuses, capturing through-traffic behavior in the transition zone. 3. — South of the high school campus where the road crosses the canal, a location with limited pedestrian refuge and constrained sight lines. 4. —Near the intersection with Longview Street, serving as a transition point between the two school campuses and a known pedestrian crossing area. The current posted speed limit along this corridor is 40 mph. Statutory & Regulatory Framework The authority to establish a reduced school zone speed limit on Cityview Drive arises from the interplay of several provisions of the Texas Transportation Code and the Texas Administrative Code. Understanding this framework is important because a 20 mph school zone limit on this corridor requires the City to navigate both a statutory floor and a regulatory deviation guideline. Page 84 of 154 Texas Transportation Code § 545.356 — Municipal Authority to Alter Speed Limits Section 545.356 is the primary grant of authority for municipalities to set speed limits on roads that are not part of the state highway system. Subsection (b-1) authorizes the governing body of a municipality to declare a lower speed limit of not less than 25 miles per hour on a two-lane, undivided highway not part of the state highway system, provided the governing body determines the existing prima facie speed limit is unreasonable or unsafe. Cityview Drive is a two-lane, undivided roadway that is not part of the state highway system, placing it squarely within the City Council's jurisdiction under this provision. Critically, the 25 mph floor in § 545.356(b-1) applies to the City's general speed-limit-setting authority. The only exception to this floor within § 545.356 itself is found in subsection (b-3), which permits municipalities with a population of 2,000 or fewer to set limits as low as 10 mph on certain one-lane roads—a provision that does not apply to Wichita Falls. However, § 545.356 does not operate in isolation when school zones are involved. The statute must be read together with § 545.353 and § 545.357, which provide the separate pathway for establishing school zone speed limits below the 25 mph general municipal floor. Texas Transportation Code§545.353—Authority of Commission and Designated Officials Section 545.353 grants the Texas Transportation Commission authority to alter prima facie speed limits based on the results of a traffic investigation on highways within the state highway system. For highways not part of the state system, the municipality exercises equivalent authority. This provision serves as the foundational mechanism through which a speed limit can be altered from the statutory default based on traffic evidence, including the establishment of school zone speed limits that differ from the general posted limit. Texas Transportation Code § 545.357 — School Zone Speed Limits Section 545.357 provides the school-specific procedural framework. It requires a municipality, on request of a school's governing body, to hold a public hearing at least once each calendar year to consider the prima facie speed limit on a highway in the municipality near a public or private elementary or secondary school, or an institution of higher education. This provision operates as a separate track from the general municipal authority in § 545.356 and is specifically designed to facilitate protective speed limits in the vicinity of schools. The significance of§ 545.357 for this analysis is that it provides an independent basis, distinct from the general municipal speed-limit authority in § 545.356(b-1), for establishing a school zone speed limit. Because § 545.357 is a school-specific provision that contemplates traffic engineering-based speed limit adjustments near schools, and because the 25 mph floor in § 545.356(b-1) applies to the general municipal speed-setting power rather than the school-specific process, the City has the authority to establish a school zone limit below 25 mph when supported by a traffic investigation. 43 Texas Administrative Code § 25.23 — Speed Zone Studies TxDOT's administrative rules in 43 TAC § 25.23 govern the methodology for establishing school zone speed limits. The rule provides that when a speed study shows an 85th percentile speed at or below 50 mph, the reduced school zone speed limit should generally not be more than 15 mph below the 85th percentile speed or the normal posted speed limit. However, §25.23 expressly states that factual studies, reason, and sound engineering judgment must govern the final decision on the maximum deviation that will provide a reasonable and prudent speed limit. This language is not merely advisory, it is the regulatory standard that permits municipalities to exceed the 15 mph guideline where the traffic engineering evidence supports doing so. Page 85 of 154 § 545.356(c) & (d) - Signage and Reporting Requirements Section 545.356(c) provides that a speed limit established by a municipality is effective when the appropriate signs giving notice of the new limit are erected. This means the 20 mph school zone limit will not take effect until compliant signage and flashing beacon assemblies are installed at all designated school zone boundaries along the Cityview Drive corridor, in conformance with the Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (TMUTCD). Section 545.356(d) imposes an annual reporting obligation. A municipality that establishes an altered speed limit must, not later than February 1 of each year, publish a report comparing the number of citations, warnings, and collisions on each road segment with an altered limit in the prior year against the same data from the year before the alteration. This report must be made available on the City's website and transmitted to TxDOT. Staff will ensure the necessary data collection framework is in place at the time the ordinance takes effect so the City is positioned to comply with this requirement from day one. How the Statutes Work Together In summary, the statutory pathway for this school zone speed reduction is as follows: The City Council exercises its authority under § 545.353 (as the equivalent municipal authority for non-state-system highways) to alter the prima facie speed limit based on the results of a traffic investigation. The school- specific provisions of § 545.357 provide the procedural framework and independent statutory basis for establishing a protective speed limit near the two City View ISD school campuses, operating separately from the general municipal speed-setting authority and its 25 mph floor in § 545.356(b-1). The traffic investigation documented in this memorandum satisfies the requirements of 43 TAC § 25.23, and the sound engineering judgment standard in that rule provides the basis for exceeding the 15 mph deviation guideline. Implementation will follow the signage requirements of§ 545.356(c), and ongoing compliance will include the annual reporting obligations of§ 545.356(d). Traffic Data Summary The following table summarizes the key findings from all eight measurement points (four locations, two directions each). The final two columns show the deviation from the 85th percentile speed that would result from a 20 mph school zone limit and a 25 mph school zone limit, respectively.

Average speeds ranged from 27 to 38 mph. The percentage of vehicles exceeding the posted 40 mph limit ranged from 9.94% to 39.08%, with the bridge location showing particularly aggressive driving behavior. Combined daily traffic volumes (both directions) ranged from approximately 2,430 to 3,081 vehicles. Analysis: Justification for Exceeding the 15 MPH Deviation Guideline Under 43 Texas Administrative Code§25.23, a school zone speed limit should generally not be set more than 15 mph below the 85th percentile speed. However, § 25.23 expressly provides that"factual studies, reason, and sound traffic engineering judgment must govern the final decision on the maximum deviation from the 85th percentile speed that will provide a reasonable and prudent speed limit." This language gives municipalities the latitude to exceed the 15 mph guideline where the traffic engineering evidence supports doing so. A 20 mph school zone speed limit on this corridor would produce deviations ranging from 18.0 mph to 26.5 mph below the 85th percentile—exceeding the 15 mph guideline at all eight measurement points. The following factors, taken together, constitute the sound traffic engineering judgment basis for this deviation: 1. Dual-School Corridor with Extended Exposure Zone Cityview Drive is not a typical single-school-zone situation.The corridor serves both City View Elementary School and City View Junior/Senior High School, creating an extended zone where school-related pedestrian activity occurs along the entire length of the studied segment. Students at the elementary school (younger children with less predictable pedestrian behavior) and students at the junior/senior high school share this roadway corridor. The two-school configuration effectively doubles the pedestrian exposure compared to a single-school-zone scenario and argues strongly for a more protective speed limit. 2. Documented Speed Variance and Compliance Failure The data reveals a significant disconnect between mode speeds and 85th percentile speeds. At three of the four locations, the mode speed in one or both directions was 20 mph, meaning the single most common speed was already at or near the proposed school zone limit, yet the 85th percentile speeds were 38 to 46 mph. This wide variance (as much as 26 mph between mode and 85th percentile) indicates a bimodal traffic pattern: a large group of drivers already traveling at safe school-zone speeds, and a smaller but significant group of drivers traveling at speeds that are dangerous in a school environment. The posted speed limit of 40 mph is already being exceeded by 10% to 39% of drivers depending on location and direction. At the bridge over the canal, nearly four in ten vehicles were exceeding 40 mph. Setting a 25 mph school zone in this environment would merely bring the higher-speed group closer to what the majority of drivers are already doing. A 20 mph limit provides a meaningful signal to the faster- traveling minority that significantly reduced speeds are expected and enforced in this area. 3. Peak Traffic Aligned with School Operations Every single measurement point—all four locations, both directions—recorded its peak 15-minute traffic volume during the 7:30-7:45 AM window on March 17, 2026. This is not a coincidence; it reflects school arrival traffic. The corridor's heaviest traffic period is precisely the time when the highest concentration of school-age pedestrians are present. Peak volumes ranged from 94 to 140 vehicles in that single 15- minute window, equating to one vehicle roughly every 6 to 10 seconds. The convergence of maximum Page 87 of 154 vehicle volumes and maximum pedestrian exposure at the same time and place creates the exact conditions that school zone speed limits are designed to address. 4. Pedestrian Stopping Distance and Survivability Research consistently demonstrates that the relationship between vehicle speed and pedestrian injury severity is nonlinear. According to the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, a pedestrian struck at 25 mph has approximately a 25% risk of severe injury, while a pedestrian struck at 20 mph has approximately a 13% risk—roughly cutting the severe injury probability in half. Given that this corridor serves an elementary school population (children ages 5-11 who are smaller, less visible, and less predictable than adult pedestrians), the additional 5 mph reduction from 25 to 20 mph provides a meaningful and measurable safety benefit. The stopping distance difference between 25 mph and 20 mph (approximately 18 feet under ideal conditions) represents multiple car lengths—often the difference between a near-miss and a collision in a school zone context. 5. Corridor Geometry and Sight Line Constraints The bridge-over-canal location presents particular concern. This segment recorded the highest average speeds (37-38 mph), the highest 85th percentile speeds (43.85-45.80 mph), and the highest rates of posted-speed violations (29-39%). The bridge structure constrains the roadway cross-section, limiting pedestrian refuge areas and reducing driver sight lines. These geometric constraints compound the speed-related risk and further support the need for a lower school zone speed through this segment. 6. Mixed Vehicle Classification The study data show that vans, pickups, buses, and trucks constitute a majority of the traffic at most measurement points, with commercial vehicles (buses, trucks, and tractor-trailers) representing 4-20% of the vehicle mix depending on location. Heavier vehicles require longer stopping distances and pose a greater risk of fatal injury in pedestrian collisions. The southbound lane at Longview& Cityview recorded 16% buses and trucks and 4% tractor-trailers—a notable heavy-vehicle presence for a school corridor. Recommendation Based on the totality of the traffic data presented in this analysis, staff recommends that the City Council adopt a 20 mph school zone speed limit along the Cityview Drive corridor in the vicinity of City View Elementary School and City View Junior/Senior High School. This recommendation is grounded in the sound traffic engineering judgment standard of 43 TAC §25.23 and supports the determination to reduce the posted school zone to 20 mph, supported by: • The unique dual-school corridor configuration creates an extended pedestrian exposure zone; • Documented bimodal speed patterns showing a significant minority of drivers traveling at speeds dangerous to school-zone pedestrians; • Universal peak-traffic alignment with school arrival times across all measurement points; • Established pedestrian survivability research demonstrating measurable safety gains from the 25- to-20 mph reduction; • Corridor geometry constraints at the canal bridge that amplify speed-related risks; and • A heavy-vehicle traffic mix that increases both stopping distances and collision severity. Implementation of this speed limit will require a City Council ordinance pursuant to Texas Transportation Code§ 545.356, installation of compliant signage and flashing beacon assemblies per the TMUTCD, and annual reporting to TxDOT under § 545.356(d) comparing citations, warnings, and collision data before and after implementation.

PURPOSE / DESCRIPTION To award five (5) bids at Lake Kickapoo and Lake Arrowhead for grazing and hunting for a period of five (5) years ending on May 31, 2031. 2. STAFF ANALYSIS / BACKGROUND / PRIOR COUNCIL ACTIONS Leasing city-owned land for hunting and grazing is a practical way to turn underutilized property into a steady source of revenue while supporting responsible land management. By offering competitive bids, the city can ensure fair market value for these leases and select operators who will maintain the land, control invasive species, and promote ecological balance. Hunting leases can help manage wildlife populations and reduce public safety risks, while grazing agreements can prevent overgrowth and lower maintenance costs such as mowing and fire mitigation. Overall, this approach allows the city to generate income, reduce expenses, and encourage stewardship of public lands without selling valuable assets. 3. BOARD REVIEW / CITIZEN INPUT N/A Page 99 of 154 4. RECOMMENDATION Staff is excited to recommend approval of the 5 bids. The bids are a record high and above the average price per acre. This is the most participation we have ever had for our leases, and it would create the largest revenue stream in the grazing and hunting lease history. 5. FUNDING SOURCE Revenue paid by lessees to be recorded at General Fund - Property Administration - Hunting Leases (1006600-56415) and Water & Sewer Fund - Utilities Administration - Grazing Land Leases (55081 1 5-5641 0) 6.

In this capacity, Forward Wichita Falls is responsible for both the day-to-day management of the property and its existing tenants, as well as leading the master planning and visioning efforts that will guide its future redevelopment. In November 2025,WFEDC committed $300,000 in seed funding to support ongoing operations. Since assuming control, the property has consistently generated positive financial performance, demonstrating both its current viability and future potential. As part of the planning and due diligence process, critical investments have been made to position the project for long-term success. These include the engagement of an Owner's Representative at the recommendation of the WFEDC's attorney, completion of a Site Investigation Report, and the initiation of the Master Plan and Design Guidelines. Each of these components is essential to ensuring a thoughtful, well-executed redevelopment that aligns with community priorities and market realities. Collectively, these efforts are intended to maximize the value of the asset while safeguarding the interests of the Wichita Falls community. Upon completion of the redevelopment plan, WFEDC will competitively select a qualified development partner to carry the vision forward, ensuring a transformative and sustainable outcome for the site. The Project: Continue to engage the Owner's Representative, finalize the Site Investigation Report Process, finish the Master Plan and Design Guidelines, to include renderings of the plan related to the redevelopment of 3111 Midwestern Parkway. Local Incentive Proposal: The company is requesting the following from the Wichita Falls Economic Development Corporation: Page 106 of 154 Expenditure an amount not to exceed $400,000 for the investment required to finish out the planning process to successfully market the site to a development partner to be chosen when the plan is complete.

PURPOSE / DESCRIPTION To approve a lease agreement with the Railroad Museum that will showcase the history, contributions, and impact the railroad industry has had on Wichita Falls while providing family-focused destinations and events. The organization will be at the meeting to provide a short presentation and to answer any questions the Council may have. 2. STAFF ANALYSIS / BACKGROUND / PRIOR COUNCIL ACTIONS The city is the owner of numerous railroad artifacts and train cars that occupy city- owned property. A non-profit Railroad Museum board will showcase and preserve local and regional history at their own expense, which can attract visitors, and increase spending at nearby businesses. This in turn can generate sales tax revenue which will support local businesses. Instead of sitting vacant, city-owned property becomes an active and maintained space that contributes to the value of the community. A lease agreement places the responsibility for upkeep, improvements, and operations on the museum. Special events, fundraising events, and private parties create gathering Page 138 of 154 opportunities and increase civic pride and participation. 3. BOARD REVIEW / CITIZEN INPUT N/A 4.
