X (c - MAYOR ATTEST: CITY CLERK 1 Exhibit I THREETHREE YEAR SUMMARY PLAN ONE YEAR PROGRAM PROGRAM BUDGET Figure I lists proposed activities to be undertaken over a three year period beginning July 1, 1975 through March 30, 1978. Activities are proposed. in 13 areas. The first proposed activity is to expand the demolition of dangerous structures. The funds shown ($110,000) would allow for a concentrated effort in the target sectors. Previous funds appropriated from general revenue sharing will be utilized in non-target sectors and will pay the operational salary of the Code Enforcement Officer through March 30, 1976. The second program year will then fund this operational salary under grant administration in succeeding years. Any remaining general revenue sharing funds will be expended in non-target sectors in 1976 and 1977. It is estimated that 350 - 400 vacant or abandoned dangerous structures will be demolished. with the block grant funds. The second proposed activity is to improve lighting in high crime areas and at the City's low rent housing projects. The funds shown ($25,000) would allow for the installation of approximately 261 high pressure sodium light fixtures in the downtown, 92 fixtures at the three housing projects, and 52 fixtures along Flood Street and Harding Street. It is anticipated that a 3/4 grant will be available from the Criminal Justice Council to match this $25,000 for a total project cost of $100,000. If CJC funds should not become available, then $75,000 should be allocated in the second program year to complete the lighting improvements. The 100,000 will cover the initial capital expenditures for lighting fixtures. No appreciable increase or decrease is expected in the operating budget of the street lighting department as a result of this lighting improvement project. The third proposed activity is to expand the assessment paving program in target sectors. The funds shown for the first year ($228,000) would allow improvement of 38 blocks. Projects include: 5 blocks of Reilly from Duncan to Seventh ($40,000) 41/2 blocks of Linwood. from Scotland Park to Tenth ($23,000) 3 blocks of N. Brook from North Fifth to North Eighth ($15,000) 2 blocks of Bridwell from Collins to Elizabeth ($11,000) 2 blocks of Tyler from Ninth to Roberts ($12,000) 2 blocks of Fourth from Eastside Drive to Patterson ($10,000) 2 blocks of Sixth from Farris through McLaughlin to Reilly ($16,000) 2 blocks of Baylor from Seventh to Sixth ($9,000) 11/2 blocks of Grace from Fifteenth to Thirteenth ($21,000) 1 block of Corwin from Washington to Jefferson ($5,000) 1 block of Fifth from Farris to Patterson ($5,000) 1 block of Patterson from Third to Fourth ($4,000) 1 block of Scotland from Central Freeway to North Broadway and, 2 blocks of North Broadway from Scotland. to North Second ($12,000) z block of Elizabeth from Bridweil to Magnolia ($2,000) 2 block of Stratford between North Seventh and North Eighth ($3,000) 3 blocks of Waco from Rosewood to Edwards ($18,000) 4 blocks of Denison from East Scott to Jalonic ($22,000) Community Development funds to be used in the second and third program years have not been programmed by blocks at this time. These blocks will be determined during the first program year by the community development staff working with the Director of Public Works. The above expanded assessment paving program of 228,000 indicates only the City's share of a total cost of approximately 375,000. The remaining portion of the total cost which is approximately 147,000 will be assessed to adjacent property owners. This assessment is based on a suggested maximum rate of $7.75 per front property foot and $5.50 per side property foot. These rates are not presently the approved assessment paving rates, but they are being considered as an alternative due to the large increases experienced in construction costs and the corresponding increased burden on the property owner. The fourth proposed activity is the development of a new neighborhood park on property to be deeded to the City by Texas Electric Service Company. The funds shown ($50,000) would allow for the construction of two lighted, fenced playfields 24,000) , semi-automatic irrigation ($6,000) , restrooms ($5,500) , playground equipment ($2,000) , guard lighting ($500) and parking ($12,000) . Part of the funds for this park will come from second year program funds. Even so, the park would be fully operational by• late spring of 1976. The fifth proposed activity is to improve Jalonic and Lynwood East neighborhood parks ($24,000) . Improvements to Jalonic may include restrooms, drinking foun- tain, playground equipment and lighting. Lynwood East improvements should include drainage, irrigation, and lighting. The sixth proposed activity is to improve Scotland Park. The funds shown 26,000) would allow for reconstruction of roadways and parking ($20,000) , addi- tional restroom facilities within the ballfield fence ($5,000, and additional lighting ($1,000) . The seventh proposed activity is to guarantee the continuation of the City's com- prehensive planning program. Currently, another federal grant allows the employment of two planners, one administrative assistant, and two draftsmen. There should be available monies to carry this long range planning program through October, 1975. The funds shown ($18,000) would carry the program through March, 1976. This earmarking is a precautionary step for additional planning monies may or may not be available. If additional planning monies are made available by Congress, the earmarked funds shown would be reprogrammed. Without the proposed carryover of $18,000 projects such as base mapping and "Midtown 2000" may not be completed, and the City may lose its entire long range planning capabilities. Such a loss would severely handicap the City's continuation in the block grant program past 1975, for future applications must be based on a continuing long range planning effort. The eighth proposed activity is to provide for community development staff. The funds shown in the first year ($23,000) would provide for the employment of two individuals to administer, coordinate, implement, monitor, and evaluate the first year program and to plan and develop succeeding programs and applications. The funds would cover salaries ($13,000) , fringe benefits ($2,350) , and basic office supplies, communication, and travel expenses ($2,560) . In the second and third years, the cost of a Code Enforcement Officer, as discussed above, is shown under grant administration. Three specific work tasks to be completed during the first program year are 1) design of the clean up activity, 2) completion of a Neighborhood Community Center Study", and 3) completion of a "Loan and Home Improvement Feasibility Study". The ninth proposed activity is to provide for inflationary cost overruns. Thirty-five thousand dollars is earmarked for contingencies or other local option activities which may become necessary. The tenth proposed activity is the improvement of Williams Park during the second year. The funds shown ($31,000) would allow for the reconstruction of roadways and parkways ($25,000) , the construction of a large barbeque pit 5,000) , and lighting ($1,000) . The eleventh proposed activity is to improve eleven neighborhood parks. The funds shown ($55,000) would allow miscellaneous park improvements in the second year to Bellevue ($9,000) , Ben Donnell ($2,500) , Bridwell ($15,000) , Fannin 3,500) , O'Reilly ($3,000) , and Spudder-Lincoln ($22,000) . The third year funds shown ($25,000) would allow miscellaneous park improvements in City View 8,500) , Civitan ($2,500) , Lions Club ($2,000) , Southern Hills ($6,000) , and Sunset Terrace (56,000) . The twelfth activity proposed is a major clean up campaign in the target sectors. The funds shown ($200,000) are an estimate and would possibly provide for the removal of junk vehicles, weed cutting, street and alley right-of-way clean up, removal of trash from the banks of the Wichita River, etc. , etc. The exact details of the campaign would be developed by the community development staff during the first year of the program, and would be scheduled for an early spring start-up date. The thirteenth activity proposed is the construction of neighborhood community buildings. The funds shown are an estimate and would possibly provide for the construction of two neighborhood multi-purpose facilities. The exact needs and associated operational costs would be determined through the completion of a Neighborhood Community Center Study" completed during the first program year by the community development staff.

This plan meets that charge as identi- fied in Section 104(a)4 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 (P.L. 93-383) . Introduction The purposes.of the Housing Assistance Plan are: 1) to accurately survey the condition of the housing stock in the City of Wichita Falls, 2) to assess the housing assistance needs of lower-income persons (including elderly and handicapped persons, large families, and persons displaced or to be displaced) residing in or expected to reside in the community, 3) to specify a realistic annual goal for the number of dwelling units or persons to be assisted, and 4) to indicate the general locations of proposed housing for lower-income persons. These purposes are discussed separately below. Survey of Housing Conditions An examination was made to determine the housing conditions in Wichita Falls. This included a survey of the conditions of the housing stock in the city and a description of housing conditions. Census data provided the primary source of information for this ana- lysis with supplemental data being provided from the City of Wichita Falls' Housing Study, 1973 and Nortex Regional Planning Commission's Housing, 1972, Data was also extracted from the City's Metropolitan Land Use Data Bank, a computerized system having information on all parcels of land in the City. The 1970 Census of Population and Housing identified 33,543 housing units in Wichita Falls with 30,483 occupied units and 3053 vacant units. The vacant units included 484 units for sale only, 1,499 for rent only, and 1,070 other units which included: 1) units sold or rented but not yet occupied by the new owner or renter, 2) units held for the occasional use of the owner, and 3) units being held off the market for other reasons. As little control could be exercised over the status of these 1,070 units, they were removed from the analysis. This removal left approximately 2,000 vacant units in the analysis. f The City of Wichita Fails Housing Study, 1973 and Housing, 1972 published by Nortex Regional Planning Commission indicated approximately 3,200 residential units were in deteriorating or dilapidated condition. Approximately 200 units have been demolished within the last eighteen (18) months. Through this creation of the demolition program by the public sector, it is estimated that the number of substandard units has been reduced from 3,200 to approximately 2,800. These 2,800 units are estimated to comprise 1,800 occupied units with 1,100 being owner-occupied and 700 being renter-occupied, and 1,000 vacant units with 250 being of the owner type and 750 being of the renter type. These estimates were derived through obtaining a proportion of owner-occupied units to total occupied-units and renter- occupied units to total occupied units. The same methodology was used to determine sub- standard vacant units. In determining the number of substandard units suitable for rehabilitation, a fifty percent (50%) break point was used. This fifty percent (50%) break point is the same percent of replacement" variable contained in Nortex Regional Planning Commission's Housing, 1972. Using this br.eak ,poin.t, approximately 1,400 units were determined suitable for rehabilitation with 900 units being occupied and 500 units being vacant. The occupied units consisted of 600 owner-occupied units and 300 renter-occupied units. The vacant units suitable for rehabilitation consisted of 125 units of the owner type and 375 units of the renter type. Of the 1,400 total units suitable for rehabilitation, 725 were of the owner type and 675 of the rental type. The results of the survey of housing conditions are shown in Table I - Survey of Housing Conditions. Housing Assistance Needs In addition to the survey of housing conditions, an assessment was made of the housing assistance needs of lower-income persons residing in or expected to reside in the City of Wichita Falls. This assessment included inventorying the number of households currently requiring assistance, examining any displacement of households by the City or other agencies, and projecting additional households expected to reside in the community. Census data provided the primary source of information for this assessment with supplemental data being provided from the Texas Highway Department, the City's Housing Study, 1973, and the City's General Plan. The median income for Wichita Falls was $7,972 according to the 1970 Census of Population and Housing. Table P-1 of the same publication identified 89,198 persons in households with an average of 2.93 persons per household. These data represented approx- imately 30,000 households in the City of Wichita Falls. Of these 30,000 households, approximately ten percent (10%) or 3,000 households pay in excess of twenty-five percent 25%) of their salary for housing with 400 households being Black and 200 being of Spanish descent. These data are shoran in item A of Table II, Housing Assistance, Needs of Lower Income Households. Proportions were used to determine the age classification and size of the households by comparing total elderly households to total households and total house- holds with less than five (5) persons to total households. Generally, elderly households have less than five (5) persons per household. This was considered in determining house- hold size for elderly and non--elderly households. Displacement of households will not be undertaken by the City of Wichita Falls in any of its community development activities. The City did work with the Texas Highway Depart- ment to identify any displacement efforts within the City on the part of that agency. The General Plan for the City of Wichita Falls projected a 1.2% growth rate for the City. This moderate growth rate was used to determine additional households expected to reside in the community. This 1.2% growth rate was applied to the 30,000 households currently in Wichita Falls and projected that approximately 375 additional households will be expected to locate within the City within the next year. Of these 375 additional house- holds, approximately 50 (10 - 15%) should require assistance. Additional Black and Spanish households were determined relative to the proportion they comprise of the total current households. As most of these households will locate in Wichita Falls due to the present industrial and economic growth of the City, the influx of elderly households will be minimal. These data are shown in item C of Table II, Housing Assistance Needs of Lower Income Households. Annual Goal for Housing Assistance From the survey of housing conditions and an analysis of housing assistance needs, an annual goal for housing assistance was determined.

As indicated in Table III, a first year goal of 520 total units with 504 being of new construction and 16 being of existing housing stock is planned. The 520 total units include 100 units of elderly housing, 200 units of military housing at Sheppard Air Force Base, 80 units of assisted single-family housing (235) , and 140 units of assisted multi- family housing. These units will all he of new construction except for 16 units of existing multi-family housing. An expanded three year goal projects the City's assisted housing needs during the next three (3) years. Although the City of Wichita Falls does not include any rehabilitation in Table III, units may be designated for rehabilitation during the second and third years after a legal opinion on the City's authority to make rehabilitation loans is received. The sources of housing assistance include the use of Section 3 funds for 100 units of elderly housing .and 140 units of multi-family housing. Of the 240 total units, 224 will be of new construction and 16 of existing housing. The amount of Section 8 funds is left blank, as Wichita Falls has not received notification of its aggregate amount of Section 8 . Program assistance. Again., funds from CD block grants are not shown, but CD funds may be used in the second and third program years after an attorney's opinion on the authority of the City to use such funds is received. Also, Community Development funds will be used for capital expenditures which should encourage the housing market. These include paving streets in CD target sectors and establishing high pressure sodium vapor lighting near the three public housing projects. Other sources of housing assistance include 80 units of single family housing (235) and 200 units of military housing. Housing assistance from State agencies is not anticipated. This table was prepared with the assistance of realtors, developers, and personnel from Sheppard Air Force Base. It should also be noted that single family assistance is recommended although this program is currently suspended.

The City of Wichita Falls does not intend to undertake any rehabilitation efforts during the first program year, as a legal question concerning the City's authority to make rehabilitation loans exists. Wichita Falls may wish to undertake rehabilitation loans as part of its three year goal if a legal opinion concludes that the City has the authority to make such loans. r r HIII-i 11 in this selection include Sheppard Air Force Base and the City's northern industrial areas as major employment centers. The City's Central Area is also of importance as a major employment center as well as a provider of recreational, retail, and other necessary services. Although Wichita Falls has not included any rehabilitation in its first program year activities, possible rehabilitation in subsequent years should be located near the City's Central Area. These selections were identified with consideration being given to site and neighborhood standards established by HUD. Also, the locations selected are of sufficient size and number to enable a reasonable degree of flexibility in selecting specific project sites, and avoid unduly limiting the availability of sites for otherwise acceptable assisted housing projects. The attached map indicates the general locations by census tract of planned projects for lower income housing. Conclusion The three (3) year goal of 1,025 units should make substantial progress toward meeting the housing assistance needs of lower income persons. The additional units should also contribute heavily toward upgrading the housing conditions of Wichita Falls identified in Table I. The general locations of these housing projects should further community revitalization, promote increased housing choices for low income persons, avoid undue concentrations of assisted housing in areas containing a high proportion of low income persons, and assure the availability of adequate public facilities and services.
