12b Staff Report — Long-term Flood Mitigation Plan
Assistant City Manager Paul Menzies thanked the Mayor, City Council, and residents
for their advocacy regarding floodplain drainage issues. He noted that the City has
begun a comprehensive review of its Drainage Master Plan, utilizing the 2011 USGS
study and other technical data. Mr. Menzies stated that the effort will involve
engineering analysis, coordination with agencies and stakeholders, community input,
and future policy direction from the City Council. He emphasized the City's commitment
to reducing flood risk while minimizing unintended impacts and ensuring ongoing public
engagement throughout the process.
Tyson Traw, Director of Engineering, gave a presentation on the City's long-term flood
mitigation efforts. The presentation reviewed the history of major flood events dating
back to 1899 and the infrastructure projects built in response, including Lake Kemp
(1923), its reconstruction (1974), and the Holliday Creek channelization project (1998),
totaling over $170M in present-day value. The City established a Stormwater Utility
Fund in 2000 and has since pursued brush clearing, drainage planning, and floodplain
modeling along the Wichita River. Wichita Falls has participated in FEMA's National
Flood Insurance Program since 1979 and holds a Class 8 Community Rating System
designation, providing residents a 10% discount on flood insurance premiums.
Looking ahead, the City is shifting toward a grant and partnership-based funding
strategy, targeting the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Texas Water Development
Board, and FEMA. HDR, Inc. has been engaged to produce a Preliminary Engineering
Report on flood mitigation alternatives focused on the Wichita River and East Plum
Creek corridors, with a professional services agreement scheduled for Council approval
on June 16th.

Cathy Dodson stated that she had filed a formal complaint against the Fire Chief,
alleging a lack of departmental oversight and the improper use of taxpayer-funded
resources by Fire Department personnel to disseminate misleading information about a
community member. She emphasized that public resources should be used solely for
official governmental purposes, expressed concern that such conduct undermines
public trust, and called for accountability, professionalism, and appropriate use of public
resources. She urged the Fire Chief to take corrective action to address the matter.
Phyllis Morgan expressed concern about the lack of a grocery store serving the east
side of the city, noting that residents must travel across town to shop for groceries. She
also raised concerns about overgrown grass on vacant lots, stating that the vegetation
obstructs visibility for motorists and creates potential traffic safety hazards.
Steve Garner recognized several local businesses for collaborating to provide a new
roof at no cost to an Eastside resident in need. He stated that Jamie Gates of Gates
Roofing, Doug Marchand of Marchand Roofing, Jake Marant of Marant Roofing, Cole
Havens of 940 Roofing, and Justin Cantu of True Peak Solutions worked together to
complete the project and noted that organizers hope to expand the effort into an
ongoing community service initiative benefiting Wichita Falls residents. He yielded his
remaining time to Jamie Gates.
Jamie Gates stated that she is committed to supporting the Wichita Falls community,
particularly the Eastside. She described the upcoming home improvement project,
which includes a new roof and additional exterior improvements donated by local
businesses. Ms. Gates expressed her desire to continue similar projects regularly and
emphasized the importance of businesses giving back to the communities they serve.
She also noted her company's ongoing financial support of local schools and its
commitment to community involvement.
John Richoux thanked Councilor Brooks for hosting a recent town hall meeting for
residents of District 2 and commended the participation and ideas shared by community
members. He encouraged continued collaboration among residents, community
organizations, and City leadership to address issues and improve Wichita Falls. Mr.

engagement and expressed concern regarding what she perceived as disrespectful
behavior toward community members during a recent town hall meeting.

representatives, and Officer Sean Sullivan for their support and participation in the Ride
to Remember event. He stated that the event honored nine Wichita Falls residents who

community's support. Mr. Coleman also emphasized the event's goal of raising public
awareness about the dangers of distracted driving and expressed appreciation for the
community's involvement.
Mike Mitchell complimented Mr. Traw's presentation and thanked Councilor Brooks for
hosting a recent District 2 town hall meeting. He stated that the meeting provided an
opportunity to discuss community concerns and expressed his belief that some issues

V. Mobile Food Changes
Dr. Williamson introduced Samantha Blair, Environmental Administrator.
Samantha stated the current Mobile Food ordinance is part of our local food ordinance updated
in 2024. In 2025 the fee changed from $345 permit fee to $258 to match the State permit fee.
The Wichita Falls-Wichita County Public Health District permit covers the whole county.
May 26, 2025, the Texas Legislature passed House Bill 2844 (HB 2844) concerning the regulation
of food vendors in Texas. The bill was signed into law by Gov. Abbott on June 10,2025. The
effective date of July 1, 2026. It destroyed the pilot program that the DFW region jurisdictions
were working on.
HB 2844 Section 1 adds language to HSC 437 regarding small-scale food businesses. Small-
scale food businesses are defined as having a Gross Annual Revenue less than $1.5 million. It
restricts the ability of local jurisdictions to require retail permits of small-scale food businesses if
the business already holds a DSHS retail permit or holds a DSHS Food Manufacturer License.
HB 2844 Section 2 creates new Texas Health and Safety Code (HSC) Chapter 437B, devoted
specifically to the licensing and inspection of"mobile food vendors" (MFV's) in Texas.
It preempts local authority to prohibit or regulate MFV's in ways that conflict with HSC 437B.
It requires a MFV to obtain an annual license from DSHS for statewide operation. Local
jurisdictions will no longer be able to issue permits.
Three-tier classification of MFV's based on risk:
Type I — prepackaged, non-TCS (Temperature Control Safety) foods and low risk of harm
to the public. The fee is $300.
Type II —food that requires limited handling and preparation. The fee is $1,400.00.
Type III —complex preparation, cooking, holding, and service. The fee will be $1,850.00.
Annually thereafter it will be reduced by $400 for Type II and by $500 for Type III, because they
will only have the application fees.
Currently, our fees for Type III pays $258 for all the services we provide.
2
Page 21 of 104
This authorizes DSHS and contracting local jurisdictions to conduct both pre-licensing and
ongoing, randomized inspections to ensure the compliance of MFV operators with applicable
regulations-particularly those pertaining to food safety.
Authorizes DSHS to charge fees for:
license applications;
pre-licensing inspections; and
routine inspections.
Authorizes DSHS to enter into "collaborative agreements" to reimburse local jurisdictions for
conducting MFV inspections.
Requires DSHS to establish and maintain a statewide database, accessible also to local
jurisdictions, that contains:
names of licensed MFV's;
results of inspections;
public complaints that resulted in disciplinary or corrective action; and
itineraries of MFV's.
State's Obligation — DSHS must:
Adopt rules by May 1, 2026;
Implement a statewide licensing process for MFV's to go into effect on July 1, 2026;
Implement a process for contracts with local jurisdictions and reimbursement for inspections;
Establish and maintain a statewide database for dissemination of information regarding
MFV's to local jurisdictions; and
Work with HHS Legal Services and SOAH to establish a smooth and uniform enforcement
process.
Local Obligation — Local jurisdictions must:
Review local ordinances and processes to ensure they do not conflict with HSC 437B;
Maintain current permitting and inspection procedures until July 1, 2026, including not
pro-rating inspections; and
Decide whether to contract with DSHS to conduct MFV inspections within their respective
jurisdictions.
Where are we now? Samantha said DSHS has their draft rules. We did submit some informal
comments in October, 2025. No changes that we suggested were made.
It is in formal comment period now 2/20/26— 3/23/26.
The state sent all Health Departments a request for a letter of intent if they wanted to contract with
3
Page 22 of 104
the state. They also sent a statement of work. The statement of work is their template for their
contract. The letter of intent is non-binding.
Samantha said they have met with our legal team to talk about our concerns and are currently
waiting for the contract. We will revise our food ordinance once things are finalized.
We are participating in work groups to develop standard of operating procedures for local Health
Departments to do the inspections for the state. We are hopefully going to guide things in the right
direction. The best benefit for Public Health is for us to continue to do the inspections.
Samantha answered questions:
Mark asked about reversing the fees of those who have paid for a permit beyond 7/1/26. Amy
said they are working on how they will do this.
Rachel asked about the objective. Melissa spoke and explained what she knew. Amy also spoke
and explained that the intent was good for people not to have so many regulations to their
business. Amy said there is still a need to have control at the local level to protect public health &
safety because no one will do it better.
Melissa asked Samantha for information and Amy asked if she could meet with Melissa to find out
what we can do to work with the Restaurant Association about the food truck issue. Regulating
with food trucks and making sure we can keep people safe.
Samantha stated right know we are making all new vendors or vendors up for renewal aware of
things changing. As of July 1, 2026 the jurisdiction goes to the state and we do not know what
that will look like.
Terri asked how many vendors do we have in this area. Samantha said we have around 95, and
if we go into the contract agreement with the State, she expects things to change because of the
additional fees. Also, our work load and revenue will be impacted.

Page 24 of 104
Tax Increment Financing#3 Board Meeting PAGE 2 March 19,2026
$379,000—Private fund
$574,000—Public fund
$124,000—Discretionary fund
There were no additional questions or comments from the board or the public.
IV. Consideration and take action on an allocation for the Commercial Renewal Program
Director Medellin stated that all allocations approved to date have come from the private
funding category, while approximately 40% of public funding remains available. Staff
developed three proposed programs intended to leverage public funds to support additional
private investment, beginning with the Commercial Renewal Program.
Mr. Medellin explained that the TIF zone contains numerous commercial and non-residential
structures located on major thoroughfares and already serviced by utilities. Many of these
properties require either demolition or rehabilitation due to deferred maintenance. Staff
identified 183 parcels with non-residential structures of varying size and condition. The
program would allow acquisition, demolition, rehabilitation, or resale of targeted properties to
encourage reinvestment. Any resale proceeds would return to the TIF3 fund. He also noted
that a three-member subcommittee would be selected to review and scout properties for
recommendation to the full board.
Staff believes an initial allocation of $225,000 could have a meaningful impact through
acquisition, rehabilitation,or demolition of strategic properties. Mr. Michael Davis, MLK Center
Coordinator,expressed interest in attracting Vernon College's skills training center to the area,
preferably near public transportation and adequate parking. Director Medellin stated that
specific uses and locations would be discussed after the subcommittee begins reviewing
parcels.
Discussion followed regarding the adequacy of the proposed funding, with Director Medellin
noting that costs would depend on property size, condition, asbestos abatement
requirements, and demolition expenses.Councilman Tom Taylor stated the committee should
first identify the types of businesses or non-profits desired in the area before selecting
properties. Commissioner Mark Beauchamp noted that several larger parcels near the
business park appear well-suited for logistics-related redevelopment.
Mr. Davis also discussed transportation concerns within the community and suggested
relocating or creating satellite offices for services such as Workforce Solutions NTX closer to
residents. Additional discussion regarding the possibility of Workforce Commission
representatives serving the area on a weekly basis and redevelopment opportunities near 5th,
6th and 7th Streets and MLK Jr. Boulevard.
Commissioner Beauchamp moved to allocate $225,000 from the public TIF3 fund for the
Commercial Renewal Program, including property acquisition. Councilman Taylor seconded
the motion, which passed unanimously, 4-0.
V. Consideration and Take Action on an Allocation for the New Economic Opportunities
Program
Director Medellin explained that the New Economic Opportunities Program focuses on vacant
land within the TIF zone. Staff identified 483 vacant parcels of varying sizes and locations. He
stated that assembling sufficient land for redevelopment can be difficult and costly for
developers. The proposed program would allow the city to acquire and combine parcels into
larger, more marketable redevelopment sites. Staff recommended allocating $100,000 to
support those acquisition and land assembly efforts.
Page 25 of 104
Tax Increment Financing#3 Board Meeting PAGE 3 March 19,2026
CFO Stephen Calvert asked whether proceeds from future land sales would replenish the TIF
44040. fund during the life of the district, which Director Medellin confirmed. Discussion also
addressed the disposition of any remaining TIF-owned property after the district sunsets, with
Director Medellin noting that additional legal review would be needed.
Commissioner Beauchamp stated that acquisitions should ideally support identified projects
and developer needs to ensure assembled properties are immediately marketable. Mr. Ray
Dixon, Jr. discussed ongoing challenges within the area, specifically housing, transportation,
and childcare. Mr. Dixon discussed how Decatur and Denton have effectively grown together
through expansion and development, stating Wichita Falls will eventually continue expanding
in that direction economically and identified two disadvantages currently affecting the area: 1)
there is a limited tax base within District 2, and 2) limited voting base, with approximately 970
to 980 registered voters in District 2.He stated when an area lacks both a strong voting base
and tax base, it effectively lacks a strong voice. He emphasized the need to balance industrial
growth with social infrastructure and community support services. Commissioner Beauchamp
noted that nearby development activity could stimulate additional residential and commercial
growth within the area. Director Medellin stated that retail and service providers are
increasingly moving ahead of residential development because they anticipate future
population growth associated with industrial expansion.
Ms. Karen Montgomery-Gagne noted continued interest from regional developers in land
tracts for affordable housing projects, including the proposed redevelopment of the former
Lamar Elementary School into The Lucas Lofts Development senior housing, pending
approval by the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA). The project
would include community access to portions of the facility for Sunnyside neighborhood
meetings and events.
Ms. Kalee Robinson asked about development within the floodplain and whether investments
would focus on areas outside the floodplain. Commissioner Beauchamp stated that if the
board develops property outside the flood zone, any resulting proceeds would be reinvested
into the TIF fund. He added that extending the TIF timeframe would allow those funds to
support future projects. He stated that once a base level of development is established,
additional growth and synergy can follow.
Additional discussion addressed development within the floodplain and the possibility of
developers applying for TIF assistance to elevate properties above floodplain levels.
Commissioner Beauchamp moved to create and fund the New Economic Opportunities
Program as presented. Mr. Dixon seconded the motion, and it passed unanimously, 4-0.
VI. Consideration and Take Action on an Allocation for the Demolition Assistance Program
Director Medellin explained that the Demolition Assistance Program is intended to reduce
blight and support redevelopment by removing dilapidated residential structures within the
TIF3 area. Mr. Medellin noted at least 12 structures identified on the map were considered
hazardous. Staff proposed allocating$200,000 in public funds for demolition efforts. He noted
that Code Compliance currently addresses hazardous structures using limited CDBG/HUD
funding, which carries extensive federal requirements. Staff believes TIF funding could help
accelerate demolition efforts and supplement existing resources.
Ms. Rita Miller explained that Code Compliance prioritizes structures damaged by fire or
posing safety hazards. She referenced the example of Holland School property, which has
sustained repeated fire damage, is hazardous to firemen, and remains on the demolition list.
Page 26 of 104
Tax Increment Financing#3 Board Meeting PAGE 4 March 19,2026
She also noted that only $6,000 remains in the current CDBG demolition budget through the
end of the fiscal year(September 30).
Discussion followed regarding the demolition process, including notices to property owners,
City Council public hearings, demolition orders, administrative fees, and property liens. Ms.
Miller clarified that ownership does not transfer to the city following demolition the owner
receives a bill that includes a $150 administrative fee. If payment is not made within 30 days,
a lien is placed on the property and accrues 10% annual interest.
Commissioner Beauchamp stated that if TIF3 funds are used for demolition, the TIF Board
should provide recommendations to City Council regarding targeted properties. Additional
discussion followed regarding the procedural requirements structures must undergo before
demolition can occur.
Chairman Haney asked for a motion, Commissioner Beauchamp moved to approve and fund
the Demolition Assistance Program as presented. Councilman Taylor seconded the motion,
and the motion passed unanimously, 4-0.
VII. Consideration and take action on the creation and appointment of a site selection sub-
committee.
Director Medellin discussed the benefit of forming a three-member subcommittee to work with
staff, development groups, and realtors to advance the board's goals and report
recommendations back to the TIF3 Board. The subcommittee would assist in developing
actionable items related to the newly funded initiatives.Councilman Taylor and Commissioner
Beauchamp volunteered to serve, and Councilman Brooks (not present)was also suggested
for appointment.
Chairman Haney introduced a motion to accept the names of the appointed subcommittee
members, Councilman Brooks, Councilman Taylor and Commissioner Beauchamp. Chairman
Haney took the motion to a vote, the vote was split 3-1 with Commissioner Beauchamp voting
in opposition. Motion failed due to insufficient votes and lack of quorum.
Note: Commissioner Beauchamp left the meeting after the vote was taken.
VIII. ADJOURN
Chairman Haney adjourned the meeting at 6:40 p.m.

Page 28 of 104
David asked about the work to repair the Falls (near Central Freeway) - Kalee
replied construction will start around June, will require closure of the Circle Trail in that
area, and could possibly take 2 years to complete. City Staff is looking to create a
detour route for bikers and runners, but it may not be possible to find a safe route.

5. Discussion of Brick Sales and Fundraising Initiatives: David stated there are now
two pending brick orders, and he will check with the engraver to see when they can be
completed.
There were no expenditures this month, so the balance in the Wells Fargo account is
approximately $92,000.
Marvin Peevey introduced himself and stated that we have all the information needed
for him to create some grant requests. A summary of potential grant sources was
provided by Christal (with the P&D Services Dept), which will be very helpful. Marvin will
submit a proposal to David, who will share it with the Committee. Please note that a

1. PURPOSE / DESCRIPTION

Down grant.
2. STAFF ANALYSIS / BACKGROUND / PRIOR COUNCIL ACTIONS
The City of Wichita Falls has been invited to participate in a direct award grant, also
known as "Operation Slow Down," from the Texas Department of Transportation. This
grant is awarded during the Summer 2026 period of July 18th thru August 2nd, 2026, for

Agenda Item Number: 9.c.
Agenda Item Name: Resolution authorizing the submittal of a grant application to
FEMA for the FY 2025 Fire Prevention and Safety Grant
Council Action to be Taken: Consider and take action on proposed Resolution.
Department Submitted: Fire
Staff Contact:
Cody Melton, Fire Chief
1. PURPOSE / DESCRIPTION
The Wichita Falls Fire Department is seeking funding through the FY 2025 Fire
Prevention & Safety (FP&S) Grant Program in the amount of $30,000 to establish a
mobile Wildfire Public Education and Outreach Program aimed at increasing community
preparedness, wildfire and all-hazard awareness, and mitigation education throughout
Wichita Falls and surrounding regional communities.
2. STAFF ANALYSIS / BACKGROUND / PRIOR COUNCIL ACTIONS
In January 2026, the Wichita Falls Fire Department established the Wildfire and All-
Hazards Coordinator position in response to increasing wildfire risk and the growing
need for enhanced community preparedness, mitigation, and public education efforts
within Wichita Falls and surrounding regional communities. The position was created to
strengthen the City's wildfire mitigation, emergency preparedness, and community risk
reduction initiatives, particularly within the wildland-urban interface (WUI), through
outreach, education, interagency coordination, and mitigation programming.
As part of these efforts, the department is seeking funding through the Fire Prevention
and Safety (FP&S) Grant Program to establish a Mobile Wildfire Public Education and
Outreach Program. Grant funding would support the acquisition of a mobile outreach
Page 58 of 104
trailer, educational displays, wildfire preparedness materials, portable audio/visual
equipment, interactive demonstration props, tables, and other public engagement
resources to support defensible space education, Firewise and Ready, Set, Go!
programming, evacuation preparedness, and wildfire mitigation outreach activities
throughout Wichita Falls and surrounding high-risk areas. Council action is requested to
authorize submission of the FP&S grant application and acceptance of grant funds if
awarded.
3. BOARD REVIEW / CITIZEN INPUT
The Wichita Falls Fire Department routinely interacts with citizens regarding wildfire
concerns, mitigation efforts, and preparedness within the wildland-urban interface (WUI)
and other high-risk areas of the community. Through community meetings,
neighborhood outreach, inspections, and mitigation projects, residents have consistently
expressed interest in additional wildfire preparedness education and resources. The
department believes the proposed Mobile Wildfire Public Education and Outreach
Program will enhance its ability to proactively engage the public, expand community
education efforts, and improve overall awareness of wildfire mitigation and all-hazard
preparedness throughout Wichita Falls and the surrounding region.
4. RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the resolution authorizing the Wichita Falls Fire
Department to submit an application for funding through the Fire Prevention and Safety
(FP&S) Grant Program and to accept grant funds if awarded for the establishment of a
Mobile Wildfire Public Education and Outreach Program.
5. FUNDING SOURCE
Primary source of funding (95%) Federal Fire Prevention and Safety Grant
If funded, local match (5%) General Fund Capital (1001360-77220)
6. TIMELINE
The FY 2025 Fire Prevention and Safety (FP&S) Grant Program application period
opened on May 19, 2026 and closes on June 22, 2026. According to the Notice of
Funding Opportunity, grant awards are expected to begin approximately September 14,
2026, and continue thereafter until all grant awards are issued, but no later than
September 30, 2026.
7. ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS
As an alternative, the Wichita Falls Fire Department will continue conducting wildfire
and all-hazard public education and outreach efforts using existing personnel,
equipment, and available resources; however, outreach capabilities and the
department's ability to proactively engage citizens throughout the community and
surrounding regional areas would remain limited.

Council Action to be Taken: Consider and take action on proposed Resolution.
Department Submitted: Fire
Staff Contact:
Cody Melton, Fire Chief
1. PURPOSE / DESCRIPTION
The Wichita Falls Fire Department is seeking funding through the FY 2025 Assistance
to Firefighters Grant (AFG) for the purchase of fourteen (14) cardiac monitor/defibrillator
units to improve pre-hospital emergency care for the citizens of Wichita Falls. The total
projected project cost is approximately $776,427,68, with the City responsible for the
required 10% grant match if awarded.
2. STAFF ANALYSIS / BACKGROUND / PRIOR COUNCIL ACTIONS
In December 2024, the Wichita Falls Fire Department applied for the FY 2024
Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) for the same purpose but was not selected for
funding. Staff is recommending reapplying for the FY 2025 AFG due to the continued
need for updated cardiac monitor/defibrillator equipment to improve Advanced Life
Support (ALS) capabilities, prehospital patient care, and operational reliability
throughout the City. If awarded, the grant would require a 10% local match from the
City.
3. BOARD REVIEW / CITIZEN INPUT
The Wichita Falls Fire Department has received support from local medical
professionals regarding this project, including a letter of support from the Cardiology
Page 62 of 104
Department at United Regional. The letter highlights the importance of improved cardiac
monitoring, 12-lead ECG capabilities, and enhanced data sharing between prehospital
providers and hospital staff to improve patient outcomes during medical emergencies.
4. RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of this resolution authorizing the Wichita Falls Fire
Department to apply for the FY 2025 Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) for the
purchase of fourteen (14) cardiac monitor/defibrillator units. Staff believes this project
would significantly improve frontline EMS capabilities, enhance prehospital patient care,
modernize cardiac monitoring equipment, and provide long-term operational benefits to
the citizens of Wichita Falls while leveraging outside grant funding to offset project
costs.
5. FUNDING SOURCE
Primary source of funding (90%) Federal Assistance to Firefighters Grant
If funded, local match (10%) General Fund Capital (1001360-77220)

grant awards are expected to begin approximately August 31 , 2026 and continue
thereafter until all FY 2025 AFG awards are issued, but no later than September 30,
2026.
7. ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS
If approval to apply for the grant is not received, the Wichita Falls Fire Department will
continue utilizing the department's current semi-automatic AED equipment, which does
not provide advanced cardiac rhythm monitoring or the enhanced Advanced Life
Support (ALS) capabilities associated with modern cardiac monitor/defibrillator units.

Transmittal Letter
Agenda Item Number: 9.e.
Agenda Item Name: Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a
Construction Manager at Risk (CMaR) agreement with The Fain Group, LLC for the
Falls Rehabilitation Project in the amount of 4% of actual construction costs
Council Action to be Taken: Approval of Resolution
Department Submitted: Public Works
Staff Contact:
Russell Schreiber, Director of Public Works
1. PURPOSE / DESCRIPTION
Approval of the resolution will allow for the Falls Rehabilitation Project to continue to
proceed forward and is the first step in the construction phase of the project.
2. STAFF ANALYSIS / BACKGROUND / PRIOR COUNCIL ACTIONS
In January of this year, the City entered into an agreement with Garver to perform
engineering services related to the rehabilitation of the Falls. Due to the unknown
conditions of the structure underlying the rock facade and free-stacked rock, their
recommended project delivery method was to utilize Construction Manager at Risk
method. This method would minimize the city's exposure to risk while allowing for a
quicker project delivery and completion. Staff, in conjunction with our consultant,
developed a set of conceptual plans and then used these plans to convey the overall
project scope to potential CMaR firms. We advertised for request for proposal (RFP) in
April of this year and received 7 proposals on April 19. A scoring team of 3
representatives from the City and 2 from our consultants reviewed and scored each of
the proposals individually. Each of these individual scores were then tabulated and
utilized to determine the most qualified CMaR firm. While all firms demonstrated
desirable qualifications, the Fain Group LLC received the highest score from the team.
Page 65 of 104
They provided the lowest pre-construction and project management fee of all the
proposals. They have the ability to self-perform almost all the construction packages
that will be part of this project and demonstrated the most experience with projects
similar to the Falls Rehab Project. Their proposed fee is 4% of actual construction costs,
which are estimated to be up to $6,000,000.00.
Construction Manager at Risk (CMaR) is a project delivery method in which the owner
(City) hires a construction manager during the design phase to provide constructibility
reviews, cost estimating, scheduling, and value engineering. As the design progresses,
the construction manager commits to delivering the project for a Guaranteed Maximum
Price (GMP) and assumes the risk of cost overruns above that amount, except for
approved changes in scope. For publicly funded projects, CMAR offers several
benefits. Early contractor involvement helps identify potential design, budget, and
scheduling issues before construction begins, reducing costly changes and delays. The
collaborative approach between the City, designer, and construction manager often
improves project quality and constructibility. The GMP provides greater budget certainty
while still allowing the owner to participate in design decisions. CMAR can also
accelerate project delivery by allowing portions of construction to begin before the entire
design is complete, which is particularly valuable for time-sensitive public infrastructure
and facility projects.

Dear Mr. Schreiber:
CMAR proposals were received for The Falls Rehabilitation Project on Tuesday, May 19th, 2026, at 1:30
PM. A total of seven proposals were received for this project. These proposals were evaluated by a
committee made up of three individuals from the City of Wichita Falls and two individuals from Garver.
The proposals were checked for compliance with the RFP requirements and were scored individually
based on the selection criteria outlined in the RFP. Scores were then averaged and ranked from highest
to lowest.

Infrastructure and Supply Grant from the Texas Water Development Board in the
amount of $20,916,600
Council Action to be Taken: Approval of Resolution
Department Submitted: Public Works
Staff Contact:
Russell Schreiber, Director of Public Works
Mark Southard, Utility Operations Manager
1. PURPOSE / DESCRIPTION
The proposed grant, if approved and selected, would allow for the replacement of the
water system's east pressure plane pump station, expansion of the east pressure plane,
and add additional large mains within the east pressure plane to convey water to and
throughout the pressure plane. If awarded, no local matching dollars are required.
2. STAFF ANALYSIS / BACKGROUND / PRIOR COUNCIL ACTIONS
The City's current and previous water master plans have identified the need to replace
the aging east pressure plane pump station, expand the pressure plane to the west and
south by adding pressure reducing values, and add 18'-24' mains within the east
pressure plane to convey the water.
Expanding the pressure plane would take some of the load off the central pressure
plane, the City's largest by area and number of connections. It would also bolster the
resiliency of the east pressure plane with the growth at the business park and the
addition of the Red River Authority as a treated wholesale purchase system in the last
several years.

Re: Flood Mitigation Alternatives Investigation
Wichita River— Preliminary Engineering Report (PER)
Dear Mr. Traw,
As requested, please find the scope and fee below for HDR Engineering, Inc. (HDR)to provide
engineering services for the Wichita River Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) task order as part
of the City of Wichita Falls (Wichita Falls) Master Short Form Agreement for Professional Services
contract executed on January 8, 2026. The PER will include a hydrologic and hydraulic (H&H)
analysis to evaluate existing conditions for the project study area and assess up to six (6) proposed
flood mitigation alternatives to remove structures from the 100-year floodplain along the Wichita
River and Plum Creek in central Wichita Falls (Figure 1). The scope of services (Scope) HDR
proposes to complete this project are below.
Background
The Wichita River is a FEMA designated 100-year (Zone AE)floodplain within an urban area of the
City of Wichita Falls. The study area is at the confluence of three rivers: the Wichita River, East
Plum Creek, and Holliday Creek. A United States Army Corps of Engineers' (USACE) reservoir was
constructed in the 1990s provided flood mitigation for much of Holiday Creek. Currently, much of
the urban area in the City of Wichita Falls east of the Wichita Tillman & Jackson Railway (WTJR) is
inundated in the 100-year event. Multiple studies have been performed by others on the Wichita
River: Assessment of Channel Changes, Models of Historical Floods and Effects of Backwater on
Flood Stage, and Flood Mitigation Alternatives for the Wichita River at Wichita Falls, Texas (USGS
2011 study), Reconnaissance Report East Plum Creek Local Flood Protection Project Wichita Falls
(USACE 1991), East Plum Creek Drainage Improvement Study(LAN study 2012), and Wichita
River Floodplain Model(FNI 2016)with varying levels of feasibility.
The PER will re-evaluate feasibility Alternatives 1 and 3 currently proposed in the USGS 2011
study, include a no-impact analysis, and BCA analysis to further investigate implementation
feasibility with the objective of removing private and commercial developable properties east of the
WTJR railroad from the 100-year floodplain with no adverse downstream impacts, and positioning
the City to pursue funding and grant opportunities. The PER will evaluate the potential to combine
the USGS 2011 alternative with the USACE 1991 Plum Creek project, include a no-impact analysis,
and a BCA analysis to further investigate feasibility as defined above.

HDR proposes the following scope of work (Scope) for professional services to execute this project.
Each task within the scope has been broken into subtasks to differentiate the scope items
associated with the H&H model development, schematic level design, and benefit-cost analysis for
the proposed improvement alternatives. Deliverable milestones will consist of DRAFT and FINAL
submittals. A path to funding proposed construction projects for flood reduction with grant money is
the primary goal of the study. The upstream limits of the Study will be the confluence of US 44 and
East Plum Creek, the city limits upstream of the Tanglewood Neighborhood on the Wichita River,
and the confluence of Holliday Creek and the BNSF rail line. The downstream limits are the city
limits and Wichita River.

HDR will administer the scope of work, communicate with the project team, and manage the project
to completion within the schedule and budget established. It is anticipated that three (3) external
team project design meetings will be required and further meetings or correspondences will be via
email or phone calls.
TASK 01 ASSUMPTIONS:
1. Three (3) HDR staff will attend the following external team meetings: one (1) Alternatives
Workshop with City staff, one (1) City Council Meeting to present alternatives, and one (1)
DRAFT PER submittal review meeting. HDR will provide draft meeting minutes to Wichita
Falls within three (3)working days following each meeting for approval.
TASK 01 DELIVERABLES:
1. Submit monthly progress reports and invoices to Wichita Falls via email.
2. One (1) digital copy of each meeting minutes in Word format to Wichita Falls via email.
Task 02 — Data Collection
The PER Study document, previous planning study information, hydrologic and hydraulic (H&H)
models and supporting data provided by Wichita Falls will be used as part of the H&H analysis
update for this project.
2.1 GIS Data
HDR will gather available on-line GIS digital data which can be downloaded from Wichita Falls,
Wichita County Appraisal District (WCAD), and other state and federal agencies that may be more
recent than the previously provided data. HDR will digitize and format digital data for use in this
study. HDR will investigate other sources of data for home values.
2.2 Site Investigation
HDR will perform field reconnaissance to gather project photos, field measurements, and general
area knowledge of the channel and structures when additional information is deemed necessary by
HDR during the initial review of the acquired digital data. Collected field data (notes, photos, and
measurements)will be geo-referenced via GPS enabled device. Record points and photos will be
provided in final geodatabase deliverable which can be viewed through the ArcGIS®software. Field
notes and photo digital files will be included in the final digital deliverable.
2.3 H&H Models and As-builts
HDR will gather available effective/best available H&H models which can be downloaded from City
of Wichita Falls. Additionally, HDR will coordinate with Wichita Falls to obtain record drawings and
other relevant project data available within the project area.
• USGS flow gage data
• Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region 6 Base Level Engineering
Models

2.4 Studies and Proiect Data Review
HDR will review previously completed studies and projects within the project area obtained from
Wichita Falls for consideration in this PER study. A data gap assessment will be completed and
requests for additional data, if necessary, will be provided to Wichita Falls. Anticipated data to be
provided by the city of Wichita Falls are listed below:
• FEMA effective model of Wichita River
• USGS Model
• USGS 2011 Report
• FNI Drainage Master Plan
• 1991 USACE Plum Creek Study
• 2012 LAN Plum Creek Study
• 2012 LAN Plum Creek Improvement Construction Plans
• FNI 2016 Wichita River Floodplain Model
TASK 02 ASSUMPTIONS:
1. Project related data including but not limited to as-built drawings, Wichita Falls field visit
records, previous studies, and other previous project supporting data will be provided by
the City of Wichita Falls.
2. Up to two (2) HDR staff will perform up to two (2) field visits to collect additional information.
3. Field measurements will be limited to existing drainage infrastructure dimensions readily
accessible above ground and drainage pattern observations.
4. Full ground surface topographic survey will not be required for this study as the available
2018 LiDAR data will be used. Available 2018 LiDAR bare earth Digital Elevation Model
(DEM) panels and 1-foot contour data is hydro-corrected.
TASK 02 DELIVERABLES:
1. One (1) digital copy of field points and photos in geodatabase format.
2. One (1) digital copy of field notes in PDF format.
Task 03 — Hydrologic and Hydraulic Analysis
For this PER study, HDR will use the "best available" hydrologic(HEC-HMS) and hydraulic (HEC-
RAS) provided by the City of Wichita Falls. The best available model is the 2016 Wichita River
Floodplain Model.
The USGS 2011 study uses stream gage data for hydrology data. There has not been a significant
rain event recorded at the Wichita Falls USGS gage 07312500 during the post study duration (2012
—2026). The 2016 study was a 1-D steady state model. HDR will use a USGS stream gage
analysis to develop peak flows, and a unit hydrograph methodology to create inflow hydrographs for
hydrologic data.
hdrinc.corn
Page 84 of 104
Tyson Traw
Page 5 of 12
For this study, the hydraulic models will be updated to the latest available version (HEC-RAS
version 7.0). Given the complex nature of the hydraulics in the area, the confluence of East Plum
Creek, the Wichita River, and Holliday Creek a 2D model is recommended to account for local
watershed timing versus the much larger upstream contributing area and better define overbank
storage, a 2D hydraulic analysis approach will be utilized for this study. The 2016 Wichita River
model will serve as the basis for most current n-values in the updated modeling.
Improvements to be evaluated will include, but not limited to the following structural options:
• Increasing the capacity of the bypass channel diverting flow from the Wichita River further
downstream (USGS opt 1)
• Increasing the Wichita River cross-sectional area to 1986 conditions or better (USGS opt 3)
• Channel Improvements to Plum Creek (LAN 2017 Construction Plans)
• Online/Off-line Detention Facilities and/or;
• Combination of Improvements with Plum Creek Proposed Improvements
A downstream impact analysis will be completed for each alternative to identify hydraulic impacts
on downstream Wichita River.
3.1 Hydrology Model Development
The hydrologic analysis will be developed using available USGS gage data and existing regional
models to define boundary conditions for the 2D hydraulic model. Peak flows for the Wichita River
will be derived from long-term statistical analysis of the USGS gage at Valley View Drive (station
07312500), which has operated since 1938, while peak flows for Holliday Creek will be obtained
from the applicable USGS gage record. Hydrograph shapes will be generated using a standard unit
hydrograph or statistical scaling methodology, then scaled to match the computed peak discharges
and applied as time-varying boundary conditions in the 2D model. For East Plum Creek, FEMA-
established flows at the selected upstream control location will be used (Figure 1). Available Base
Level Engineering (BLE) models and Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) 2D models will be
downloaded and reviewed to extract consistent time series at model boundary locations, which will
then be adjusted and scaled to align with the updated peak flow estimates. Given that there has not
been a significant flood event since 2011 and no substantial changes in watershed development
affecting impervious area within Wichita Falls, the existing hydrologic approach based on statistical
analysis of historical gage data will be maintained without modification.
The USGS Study uses historical data from specific storm events. Given that
• "Best Available" hydrology data is defined as a stream gage analysis on
o Wichita River Gage (USGS 07312500)
o Holliday Creek (USGS 07312610)
o FEMA Region 6 BLE models
hdrinc.com
Page 85 of 104
Tyson Traw
Page 6 of 12
• Current available hydrology is in the form of peak flows, not hydrographs. HDR is
performing a stream gage analysis with a scaled hydrograph as a boundary condition for
this Preliminary Engineering Report. Peak flows will be developed for the 10-, 50-, and 100-
year events distributed over a 24-hour duration. Available depth-duration-frequency data to
develop balanced storm method hyetographs.
• East Plum Creek peak flows will be re-evaluated from the City provided LAN models
3.2 Revised Existing Hydraulic Model (1 model scenario)
Hydraulic revisions to "best available" hydraulic models (2016 models)will be developed in HEC-
RAS using 2D modeling approach methods. Hydraulic modeling limits will extend from the to the
upstream limits shown on Figure 1 and the downstream limit of the confluence of the Wichita River
with the City limits. It will include the bypass channel on the Wichita River, Holliday creek from the
USGS Stream Gage 07312610 to the confluence with the Wichita river, and from the confluence of
US Hwy 44 and East Plum Creek to East Plum Creek's confluence with the Wichita River. The
revised existing conditions hydraulic model will be developed to establish revised baseline
conditions for which the proposed alternative improvements will be compared. Revisions made to
the hydraulic model will include:
• 1 D model converted to unsteady flow simulation
• 2D area mesh and 2D land use data incorporated, with an emphasis on the 2016 n-values
in the Wichita River and its overbanks
• Culvert and bridge data from the 2016 model
• Boundary condition assumptions incorporated
Using the historical events developed, the existing condition hydraulic model parameters will be
modified to replicate the observed gage stage records at the USGS gages. Model parameter
modifications may include but not limited to land use Manning's n-value adjustments, boundary
condition placement assumptions, and hydrologic parameter refinements.
Post validation, the existing conditions hydraulic model will be executed for the specified storm
events. Hydraulic summary output tables will be developed at modeled locations throughout the
study area to compare peak flow and water surface elevation to existing conditions and assess
downstream impacts. Number of habitable structures within the existing conditions 100-year
floodplain will be defined to perform a cost-benefit analysis for each proposed alternative.
3.3 Proposed Alternatives Hydraulic Models (6 model scenario)
HDR will modify the revised existing conditions hydraulic model to develop up to six (6) proposed
improvement alternatives to meet the desired 100-year design storm and provide no adverse
downstream impacts structures. For each alternative, HDR will evaluate flood risk reduction
(number of structures and properties removed) for the existing and ultimate development conditions
100-year storm events and downstream impacts along the Wichita River to the downstream limit of
the City limits. Alternative concepts to be evaluated are described in more detail under Task 04.
hdrinc.com
Page 86 of 104
Tyson Traw
Page 7 of 12
Hydraulic summary output tables for each alternative will be developed at modeled locations
throughout the study area to compare peak flow and water surface elevation to existing conditions
and assess downstream impacts. Number of habitable structures removed from the 100-year
floodplain will be identified to determine each alternative benefit.
TASK 03 ASSUMPTIONS:
1. City of Wichita Falls Stormwater Design Manual (2024)will be used to assess design
feasibility
2. Hydraulic model calibration/validation will not be performed as part of this scope of work.
3. Model development assumptions include
a. Model level of detail will be limited to riverine conveyance systems only. Major
storm drain trunk systems and other pluvial systems will not be evaluated as part of
this study
b. Hydraulic land use developed using FEMA BLE models will be assumed as best
available and will be verified used aerial imagery and field observations
c. The downstream boundary condition 3,000 LF downstream of the confluence of the
Wichita River and Holliday Creek will be defined using normal depth assumption
d. Inundation mapping will be developed for each specified storm event using the
2018 LiDAR Terrains
4. Available 2018 LiDAR data, previous study and project data, as-built records, and field
measurements provide sufficient detail to develop hydraulic models.
5. Provided building planimetric data will be verified using the latest aerial imagery and field
observations. TWDB building planimetric data is assumed to be best available.
6. H&H models will be simulated for the 10-, 50-, and 100-year events, matching the effective
FEMA FIS study for Wichita Falls.
7. Inundation mapping will be a rough approximation created using HEC-RAS RAS Mapper
post-processing tools. FEMA standard floodplain mapping for developed hydraulic models
will not be created as part of this scope.
8. HDR will perform internal QC of calculations, models, and results prior to submitting
calculations, models and results to Wichita Falls for review.
TASK 03 DELIVERABLES:
1. One (1) digital copy of Task 03 shapefiles used to develop H&H models and flood reduction
impact parcels/structures in geodatabase format.
2. One (1) digital copy of Task 03 calculations in excel format.
3. One (1) digital copy of existing conditions and proposed alternative conditions H&H models
and outputs.

Task 04—Alternatives Development and Analysis
Per coordination with Wichita Falls, initial alternatives to be evaluated are described in more detail
below, but are subject to change if necessary, during the study. Following data collection (Task 02)
and review of H&H information (Task 03), HDR will host a one (1) hour Alternatives Workshop in
person (Task 01)to discuss the potential alternative concepts identified to be evaluated and
progressed to the DRAFT PER document.
• Alternative 1 — Increase bypass Channel capacity by deepening the diversion channel
similar to the suggest mitigation plan USGS Alternative 1.
• Alternative 2 —Widen aggraded channel banks as described in USGS Alternative 3. Bridge
obstructions will not be included.
• Alternative 3— LAN Study East Plum Creek improvements
• Alternative 4— Proposed combination of Alternatives 1 and 2
• Alternative 5— Proposed Combination of Alternatives 1, 2, and 3
• Alternative 6— Evaluate reduction in n-values on any remaining City owned properties
within the overbanks.
All of the alternatives will be evaluated for downstream impacts.
4.1 Alternatives Selection
Following the Alternatives Workshop, the HDR team will develop up to six (6) proposed alternative
preliminary design schematics based on proposed alternatives modeled in Task 03 considering
inundation extents identified for existing and proposed conditions, structures and property impact
for each proposed alternative, existing right-of-way (ROW) boundaries, and proposed property
acquisitions. For each alternative, the HDR team will develop Study Level Opinion of Probable
Construction Costs (OPCC's), ROW acquisition needs, summary of impacts to existing utilities,
schematic layouts, and proposed typical alternative sections.
4.2 Environmental Assessment
HDR will perform an environmental constraints and compliance desktop analysis to review available
public information and determine if known resources exist. HDR will consider Nature Based
Solutions (NBS) to support grant documentation. Nature based solutions will be limited to 2 of the
alternatives and will include Best Management Practices (BMPs) available from the Texas Water
Development Board. Water quality NBSs do not hydraulically impact modeling and are therefore not
reflected in HEC-RAS.
4.3 Cost/Benefit Analysis
A cost/benefit analysis will be completed for each proposed alternative using the available FEMA
BCA toolbox and the TWDB BCA toolbox. Project benefits will be calculated based on habitable
structures removed from the 100-year inundation extents, applying the associated Wichita County
hdrinc.corn
Page 88 of 104
Tyson Traw
Page 9 of 12
Appraisal District (WCAD) property values. The benefit-cost summary will be a calculated ratio of
benefit value per the project construction cost for the 100-year storm event.
The HDR team will finalize proposed mitigation alternatives based on comments and
recommendations from Wichita Falls following a DRAFT PER workshop.
TASK 04 ASSUMPTIONS:
1. Per direction from Wichita Falls, a non-structural buyout program alternative will not be
evaluated as part of this study.
2. OPCC estimates will be developed with the Wichita Falls unit prices and TxDOT average
bid unit costs.
3. ROW acquisition costs will be determined using the latest WCAD value data, flat rate
administration and plat/field notes costs, and a contingency to account for addition
acquisition costs. A detailed cost for relocation, appraisal, closing, title insurance and
acquisition labor costs will not be developed for this study.
4. The latest available WCAD property value data from the WCAD is sufficient for this
cost/benefit analysis unless a suitable alternative is identified during Task 02.
5. Building planimetric data will be used to determine the number of habitable structures
removed from flooding for each alternative. Habitable structure will be considered
inundated when surrounding 100-year inundation depths exceed a structure finished floor
above the maximum elevation surrounding the building planimetric perimeters. This
conservative assumption is made given community input on the age of the area of interest
and visually observed settlement of structures.
6. Environmental permitting and constraints will be determined through coordination with
Wichita Falls Environmental Department and desktop analysis.
7. HDR will perform internal QC of Alternative design concepts, schematic layouts and typical
sections, utility conflict matrix and OPCCs.
8. HDR will perform internal QC of proposed alternative design concepts for H&H benefit,
constructability, and minimizing property acquisition prior to submitting to Wichita Falls for
review.
TASK 04 DELIVERABLES:
1. One (1) digital copy of Alternatives Workshop meeting minutes in word format to Wichita
Falls via email.
2. Potential utility conflict summary for up to six(6) proposed alternatives to be included in the
PER.
3. OPCC estimates for up to six(6) proposed alternatives to be included in the PER.
4. Schematic Layouts and Typical Sections for up to six(6) proposed alternatives to be
included in the PER.

Contract between the City of Wichita Falls and the Texas Department of State Health
Services for mobile food inspection services; authorizing the City Manager, or his
designee, to execute all necessary documents
Council Action to be Taken: Consider and take action on proposed Resolution.
Department Submitted: Health
Staff Contact:
Amy Fagan, Director of Public Health
1. PURPOSE / DESCRIPTION
Resolution authorizing the execution of an Interlocal Cooperation Contract between the
City of Wichita Falls and the Texas Department of State Health Services for mobile food
inspection services.
2. STAFF ANALYSIS / BACKGROUND / PRIOR COUNCIL ACTIONS
During Texas's 89th Legislative Session, HB 2844 passed modifying the regulation of
mobile food vendors in Texas. This law creates new Texas Health and Safety Code
(HSC) Chapter 437B, devoted specifically to the licensing and inspection of mobile food
vendors in Texas. Additionally, it preempts local authority to prohibit or regulate mobile
food vendors in ways that conflict with HSC 437B. Texas Department of State Health
Services (DSHS) had to modify the existing Texas Food Establishment Rules to remove
references to mobile food vendors and create a new rule set in the Texas Administrative
Code (TAC 25.226) to address the regulation of mobile food vendors. Effective July 1 ,
2026 every mobile food vendor operating in Texas must have a Mobile Food Vendor
License issued by DSHS in order to operate. The Health Department and the Texas
Department of State Health Services (DSHS) desire to enter into a contract to establish
Page 100 of 104
responsibilities of both agencies regarding mobile food inspection services. DSHS will
pay a set amount per pre-inspection to the Health Department.
3. BOARD REVIEW / CITIZEN INPUT
The Board of Health has received three briefings regarding the legislative changes and
the impact on operations.

May 19th through May 27th, the Code Compliance Division launched the Neighborhood
Enhancement Initiative to address public concerns regarding the mowing and
maintenance in the Eastside area of the city. During that week, the team inspected
3,000 properties spanning 1 ,500 acres throughout the Eastside area. The survey
reviewed city-maintained properties, followed up on active code cases, and identified
new violations. Staff found 141 new violations in addition to the 217 active cases, for a
total of 358 cases. Weeds and grass remain the most common issue, representing
approximately 80% of all violations. Since the initiative began, a total of 124 properties
have been assigned for abatement by contractors.
