City Council Minutes April 21, 2026 Page 1 of 13 5. Citizen Comments Amanda Grace shared concerns from downtown residents and business owners regarding issues she believes are connected to juveniles associated with the Straight Street program. She described reports of vandalism, loitering, property damage, and fights, and stated that minors are often unsupervised in the downtown area, including late at night. She referenced a recent instance in which she observed approximately 20 juveniles in downtown alleyways around 11 :30 p.m., along with video showing vehicle break-ins and property tampering. She acknowledged the value of youth outreach programs, but expressed concern that the current structure lacks adequate supervision and accountability. She stated that this is negatively affecting local businesses and property owners, particularly small, locally owned businesses, and emphasized the need for programs to be managed in ways that support both the youth involved and the broader downtown community. Steve Garner spoke about the upcoming 45th anniversary of the Hotter'N Hell Hundred, highlighting its growth into a major annual community event. He shared that new updates and additions are planned this year and invited the Mayor and Council to participate in the ride, scheduled for August 28, 2027. Mr. Garner also introduced Mario Arroyave, cycling coach at Midwestern State University, to provide an update on the university's cycling program. Mr. Arroyave reported a strong performance at a recent local conference championship, where MSU athletes earned 15 podium finishes across multiple race categories. He noted community support through fundraising efforts benefiting student athletes and shared that the team will compete in collegiate road nationals in Madison, Wisconsin, in the coming weeks. Mike Mitchell reminded the Council and the public about the City's tree abatement program, developed through the City Revitalization Committee as part of the Heart of the Falls initiative. He noted that funding has been allocated to assist residents with removing dead or dangerous trees, but participation has been limited so far. He encouraged residents to take advantage of the program, especially as seasonal conditions make tree issues more noticeable, and directed interested individuals to contact City staff to apply. Crystal Washington addressed concerns regarding development and conditions on the City Council Minutes April 21, 2026 Page 2 of 13 east side of the city, referencing past decisions and ongoing infrastructure issues. She discussed concerns about discrimination, lack of investment, and limited opportunities for youth, stating that insufficient development contributes to challenges in the community. She urged the Council to prioritize infrastructure improvements, including drainage and repairs to the Duncan Channel flood control gate, and to ensure equitable use of TIF funding for development. She also expressed concerns about transparency in decision-making and potential health impacts related to proposed data center projects. David Coleman spoke as Chair of Wichita Falls Streams and Valleys. He shared that the Texoma's Hellacious Obstacle Run (THOR) was held at Lucy Park over the weekend, with more than 1,600 participants. He noted the event was a collaborative effort led by Leadership Wichita Falls and thanked Randall Barker and thanked the City Parks Department for their support in hosting the event. Mr. Coleman stated the event was a great success, brought positive attention to Wichita Falls, and was well enjoyed by participants, including visitors from out of town. He expressed his appreciation to the City for helping make events like this possible. In response to previous comments, Mr. Jenkins stated that the City is actively reviewing and updating its master drainage plan with its engineering firm, with potential focus on both citywide and targeted areas. Drainage improvements have already been identified as a budget priority. He noted that these projects take time due to funding requirements and coordination with state agencies, including cost-benefit analysis thresholds, but can have a significant impact once completed, and confirmed the Duncan Channel project is complete and fully functional. Eu'Meka Brandon spoke about the Justice40 initiative. She stated that she is still learning about funding sources like TIF and 4B, but is focused on finding solutions. She explained that Justice40, established in 2021, could provide additional funding opportunities for underserved areas, potentially allowing a 90/10 match if the City qualifies, but noted this funding ends in July. Ms. Brandon said the Eastside's current conditions may make it eligible for additional assistance and discussed the link between community conditions, crime, and health. She encouraged the City to consider pursuing this funding before the upcoming deadlines and said she appreciated the transparency shared. She also suggested using existing funds or an interfund loan to take advantage of the higher match and increase resources for Eastside improvements.

Public Hearings & Ordinances a) Public Hearing and take action on an Ordinance finding the structure at 401 Broad Street to be dangerous; requiring property owner to demolish said structure within thirty (30) days of the date of this ordinance; and declaring an emergency and immediate effective date I. Public Hearing II. Take Action Mayor Short opened the public hearing at 9:08 a.m. and stated that each side has thirty (30) minutes to provide comments. Paul Menzies, Assistant City Manager, discussed the long-vacant structure at 401 Broad Street, stating it is an issue of accountability, public safety, and downtown's future. He noted the property has been in disrepair for years with repeated but unfulfilled redevelopment promises, and that the certificate of occupancy was revoked in 2016. He stated the City recently allowed additional time for a proposed renovation, but no meaningful progress has been made, and the structure now poses safety risks and hinders downtown development. He added that while property rights are respected, City Council Minutes April 21, 2026 Page 5 of 13 they come with responsibility, and suggested demolition may be the appropriate next step to address the hazard and allow for reinvestment. Fabian Medellin, Director of Development Services, discussed the structure at 401 Broad Street and submitted supporting documents into the official record, including reports, public notice filings, affidavits, and staff summaries, and confirmed their accuracy. He explained that the proposed ordinance would declare the property a hazardous structure due to its deteriorated condition, lack of maintenance, and violations of building and fire codes. He stated the structure poses a threat to life, health, and safety, is unfit for occupancy, and may cause illness to occupants. Alex Borrego, Neighborhood Services Manager, stated that he is a licensed code enforcement officer through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, with over five years of supervisory experience, holds an intermediate code certification, and has completed advanced training through the Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service related to hazardous and nuisance structures. He reported that water service to the property was disconnected in May 2018 due to delinquent charges exceeding $24,000, and that more than $43,000 in taxes remain owed. Staff completed an initial structure report in February 2026 and issued notices of violation to all owners, lienholders, and interested parties, followed by a second inspection in March 2026 and formal public hearing notices. He provided background on the property, noting it opened as a hotel in 1982 and has since deteriorated significantly after losing its lodging permit in 2013. He stated recent inspections revealed extensive damage, including water intrusion, mold-like growth, structural deterioration, and unsanitary conditions throughout the building. He further noted evidence of vandalism, unauthorized entry, and removal of materials, as well as multiple unsecured access points. He concluded that the structure presents significant health and safety concerns. Samantha Blair, Environmental Health Administrator, stated that she is a licensed registered sanitarian through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation and a licensed pesticide applicator in public health pest control. She noted that becoming a registered sanitarian requires a bachelor's degree with at least 30 hours of biological sciences, two years of experience, and passing an exam. She has worked as a sanitarian for 10 years and has 12 years of service with the City. Ms. Blair outlined several public health concerns associated with the property, including mold-like growth due to excessive moisture and conditions that support bacteria and other organisms. City Council Minutes April 21, 2026 Page 6 of 13 She also identified mosquito activity, including species known to carry disease, supported by standing water and organic material within the structure. She further noted the presence of pigeons, rodents, and other pests, along with evidence of nesting, droppings, and structural openings that allow access. Additional concerns included an unsecured rooftop pool holding standing water. She emphasized that these conditions create health and safety risks that can extend beyond the property. Craig Berend, Fire Marshall, stated that he is a licensed Fire Inspector through the Texas Commission on Fire Protection with 28 years of fire service, including fourteen (14) years as a fire inspector and three (3) years in the Fire Marshal's Office. Mr. Berend discussed the fire and life safety concerns at the property. He reported that critical fire protection systems, including fire department connections, sprinkler and standpipe systems, fire pumps, and alarms, are nonfunctional or have been removed, and have not been maintained or inspected in years. He noted that water service to the fire line was discontinued in 2022 due to unresolved leaks, further limiting fire suppression capabilities. He also identified numerous safety hazards throughout the structure, including obstructed egress paths due to makeshift walls, structural deterioration, exposed electrical wiring, and unsecured access points. Additional concerns included the presence of flammable liquids, combustible materials, and evidence of unauthorized entry, vandalism, and theft. He stated there is evidence of small, unreported fires and possible habitation, indicating an increased risk of fire. Mr. Berend concluded that the building's condition poses significant fire and life-safety risks to both occupants and the surrounding area. Mr. Medellin concluded the presentation by explaining that the hazardous structure designation addresses not only structural concerns but also risks to life, health, safety, and the community. He stated that the proposed ordinance would require the property owner to take corrective action and, due to the cost of rehabilitation, recommend demolition. He added that if the owner fails to act within the required timeframe, generally thirty (30) days, the City would have the authority to take necessary action to address the hazard. Councilor Cobb stated that the condition of the property was among the worst he had seen and commended staff for a thorough presentation. Mayor Short emphasized concerns about both public and first responder safety and inquired about the continued use of electricity at the site. City Council Minutes April 21, 2026 Page 7 of 13 Mr. Medellin responded that they tried to support the property owner as much as possible, and the electricity remained on at the owner's request to allow for security patrols. Ronald Hall expressed concern about the safety risk of leaving the electricity active and asked whether it would be disconnected. Mr. Medellin stated that if the Ordinance is approved by the Council, the property will be demolished within 30 days, and if not, the utilities will be disconnected for safety. Dylan Schultz, an attorney representing multiple tax lien holders, informed the Council that a foreclosure has been initiated on the property, with the county taxing units involved. Service has been completed, and a trial is set for July 22, 2026, to seek approval for a public foreclosure sale. He noted that there are no current redevelopment prospects and shared the information for the Council's awareness. Phillip Townsend addressed the Council regarding the property, stating the owner intends to rehabilitate the building and that delays have resulted from insurance litigation, ownership complications, trust transfers following the death of partners, and permitting challenges. He noted that plans were developed to convert the former hotel into 148 apartments and that a prior $6 million loan was lost after the building was reportedly declared "condemned," requiring the owner to seek new financing. He stated that the building has been vacated but is being maintained with on-site oversight, and that many needed repairs are considered maintenance and do not require permits. He stated that redevelopment efforts are ongoing but have taken time due to the project's scale, financing requirements, and the recent death of the on-site property manager. Mr. Townsend asserted that the City has not met the legal standard to declare the structure a dangerous building, arguing that it does not meet the defined thresholds for structural failure and that such a determination should be made by an independent third party. He also raised concerns about due process and prior City communications regarding potential fines, demolition, or the acquisition of the property. Mr. Townsend said the City has not followed due process or the law. Councilor Cobb questioned the lack of progress over the past 10 years, including the absence of basic maintenance and unpaid utilities. City Council Minutes April 21, 2026 Page 8 of 13 Mr. Townsend stated that the property's water bill increased significantly after the switch to automatic meters, leading to disconnection. He said the owner continues to invest approximately $90,000 per month in the property and estimated its value at $9—$10 million currently and up to $17 million after rehabilitation. He noted the building has been generally secured but has experienced some vandalism, and stated taxes are believed to be current, though he could not address lien details. He added that the concrete structure does not pose a significant fire risk and that some maintenance work has been completed. He said financing efforts are ongoing, including a potential $12 million loan, and expressed concern that City action could impact funding. He said the building is not a safety hazard and requested additional time to proceed with redevelopment. Councilor Cobb referred to the presentation showing the building's disrepair and expressed concerns about safety. Mr. Townsend said the building is safe, and no one goes in there. Councilor Browning noted that Mr. Townsend previously stated that one person was in the building every day for maintenance, and it was noted that the gentleman had passed away. Mr. Townsend stated that taxes have been paid, indicated they have been denied due process, and maintained that the building is not dangerous and does not pose a risk of spreading fire. Mr. Townsend stated that taxes have been paid, indicated they have been denied due process, and maintained that the building is not dangerous and does not pose a risk of spreading fire. He added that the building is reasonably secure and that he has a commitment letter from a lender, contingent on a third-party inspection. Mr. Townsend expressed concerns about the administrative warrant and stated that city staff broke the lock to enter the building. He continued to express concerns about the legality of the public hearing, lack of due process, and the need to have a third party inspect the building. Councilor Flack noted for the record that the City Clerk paused the speaker's time during questions and asked whether Mr. Williams had recently visited the property and how long the speaker had worked with him. City Council Minutes April 21, 2026 Page 9 of 13 Phillip Townsend stated that Mr. Williams has visited the property within the past 10 years, though he could not confirm when, and noted he has worked with him for approximately 8 to 10 years. He indicated that some cited issues would be addressed during rehabilitation and that about $30,000 in fines, including fire suppression-related items, are being handled. He stated that redevelopment would return the property to the tax rolls and be more beneficial than demolition, and noted plans to convert the building into an age-restricted apartment complex with an estimated 8 to 12 month rehabilitation timeline once work begins. Mayor Tim Short expressed concern that little progress had occurred over the past 10 years and that funding was being presented at the last minute, creating the appearance that the project was being rushed. Mr. Townsend responded that the owner has a long history with the property, has chosen not to walk away, and remains committed to completing the project and making it productive. Mayor Short stated that the property taxes are not current and noted the owner is approximately $24,000 behind. Mr. Townsend acknowledged that the taxes are about one year behind, but said they can be brought current. Councilor Browning asked why the owner, despite having approximately $6 million in equity, could not take time to come to the meeting. Mr. Townsend stated that the owner has had additional challenges recently, including a partner allegedly embezzling $700,000. He has incurred legal costs, including approximately $20,000 in attorney's fees to address those issues and avoid sanctions. He is pursuing legal action to recover those funds, but has encountered difficulties. He is dealing with multiple issues at the same time, which have impacted progress on the property. Councilor Battaglino asked how the pending July 22 foreclosure would be affected by a potential rehabilitation loan, including whether foreclosure would proceed if financing were obtained. Mr. Schultz responded that their clients are seeking repayment and are pursuing City Council Minutes April 21, 2026 Page 10 of 13 foreclosure to recover funds, but would release their liens if paid from loan proceeds. He estimated the amount owed to be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Mr. Townsend explained that the proposed $12 to $12.5 million loan would allocate approximately $6.5 million toward repairs, with the remainder used to satisfy existing debt, including the mortgage. He noted that efforts to secure financing are ongoing and that the process takes time. Councilor Cobb asked Mr. Shultz how much his clients are owed. Mr. Schultz stated he did not have the exact amount but indicated it was in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Mayor Short closed the public hearing at 10:18 a.m. Monica Aguon, Deputy City Attorney, clarified the applicable law regarding demolition proceedings, noting that Chapter 214 of state law authorizes municipalities to require repair or demolition. She stated that there is no cease-and-desist order or court order in this case and clarified that the "beyond a reasonable doubt" standard does not apply, as this is not a criminal proceeding. She explained that under the Code of Ordinances, the burden of proof rests on the owner, mortgagee, or lienholder in a show-cause hearing. She highlighted that a structure should be demolished if it cannot be repaired to meet code or if it has fire code violations. Ms. Aguon also noted that Council serves as the finder of fact, that the commonly referenced 33% or 50% threshold is only one of several standards, and that there is no legal requirement for a third-party evaluation under local, state, or case law. Mr. Townsend stated that, while the percentage threshold is only one of several standards, it is the only one that provides a specific measure. He asserted that the building does not pose a fire risk due to its construction and its distance from other structures. He stated he is a lienholder and authorized to speak on the owner's behalf, with documentation to support his interest. He also raised concerns about bias and argued that the owner should be presumed innocent, stating that proper procedures had not been followed. Moved by Councilor Battaglino to approve Ordinance 18-2026, finding the structure at City Council Minutes April 21, 2026 Page 11 of 13 401 Broad Street to be dangerous; requiring the property owner to demolish said structure within thirty (30) days of the date of this ordinance; and declaring an emergency and immediate effective date. The motion was seconded by Councilor Taylor and, with no further comments or questions from the public, carried by the following vote: AYES: Mayor Short, Councilor Cobb, Councilor Flack, Councilor Brooks, Councilor Browning, Councilor Battaglino, Councilor Taylor NAYS: None ABSTAIN: None 11. Other Council Matters a) Announcements concerning items of community interest from members of the City Council. No action will be taken or discussed. Councilor Cobb expressed gratitude for the rain and thanked everyone for attending. Councilor Brooks thanked everyone for attending and said people aren't coming back to District 2 because there is nothing to do, noting that his own family doesn't come back. He said he appreciates the excitement around projects like Lucy Park, but is tired of hearing that "it takes time," and said things just need to get done. Councilor Browning wished everyone a great day. Councilor Taylor wished everyone a great day. Councilor Battaglino shared dates for upcoming events and noted that Leadership Wichita Falls is raising funds to replace the damaged horse downtown, including working with the original artist to recreate it. If anyone is interested in donating, they can contact Leadership Wichita Falls. Mayor Short thanked God for the rain, thanked Bailey Forrester for serving as Mayor of the Day, and congratulated Christi Klyn, HR Director, and her daughter, Ella, on earning a track scholarship to Colorado State. He also thanked the Wichita Falls Police Department for their swift response to a recent shooting, noting the suspect was quickly apprehended, and expressed prayers for the victims.
