Min 01/06/197662 Wichita Falls, Texas Memorial Auditorium Bldg. January 6, 1976 Items 1 & 2 The Board of Aldermen of the City of Wichita Falls, Texas, met in regular session on the above date in the Council Room of the Memorial Auditorium Building at 9:00 o'clock A.M. , with the following members present: J. C. Boyd, Jr. Mayor Hardy McAlister X Dr. Guillermo Garcia Bill E. Gowan X Aldermen Joe N. Prothro Lonny Morrison Peggy McCullough X Gerald Fox City Manager H. P. Hodge, Jr.City Attorney Wilma J. Thomas Deputy City Clerk The invocation was given by Bruce Weaver, Minister of First United Methodist Church. Item 3 Moved by Alderman Garcia that minutes of the meeting held December 16, 1975 , be approved. Motion seconded by Alderwoman McCullough, and carried unanimously. Item 4a The public hearing was opened on the Community Development Block Grant Application. City Manager Gerald Fox mentioned improvements to be made in various areas, such as Lynwood East Park in which the drainage ditch will be concrete lined , picnic tables and barbecue pits will be provided, and basketball courts will be constructed. Tennis courts will be considered the second year. Some street paving adjacent to Fannin Park will be provided, schmetic drawings for a human resource center and an allocation to the Heritage Commons for research and design. The proposed program would amount to $1,017,000, with an $18,000 contingency fund. It is requested that the public hearing process be closed, but that the application not be approved at this time since the $1 ,017,000 is a tentative figure from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The Housing Authority has been asked to assume the role of administering agent for Housing. Alderwoman McCullough requested clarification of the concrete lining in the ditch at Lynwood Park as opposed to an underground system. Steve Ondrejas stated that he had toured the park and discussed some possibilities with them. They are aware of the discussions involved. A report has been mailed to them. Stephen L. Neal, 1611 Grayfox, stated that neither he nor Mr. Esther has received a copy of the report mentioned by Mr. Ondrejas. Regarding the open ditch, at the time they requested it they were not aware of the standards required by the federal government. If they are met it would cost a lot of money to do the work on the ditch. He stated that they set priorities before they came to Council previously, and that was a mistake. They have further cut their requests. They hope to get the complete basketball court. A pavillion was proposed. Mr. Ondrejas felt that two small ones would be more economical than one large one. They also desire barbecue 63 Item 4a, cont'd. pits , tables, and chairs. Children frequent this park every day, and he is more concerned with getting something for the kids to play with. He leans more toward completing the basketball court, tennis courts , and baseball diamond. The restrooms are imperative. It was pointed out that the basketball court is in the plans, and tennis courts in the second year. Play ground equipment was mentioned. Mr. Neal felt it should be concentrated in one area. Moved by Alderwoman McCullough that the public hearing be closed. Motion seconded by Alderman Gowan, and carried unanimously. Moved by Alderman Garcia that the Mayor and Board of Aldermen make a formal request to the Public Housing Authority to administer the Section 8 housing law. Motion seconded by Alderwoman McCullough, and carried unanimously. 5a Discussion was held concerning the liquor zone ordinance. Alderman Morrison suggested that the basic decision to be made is not a decision which falls within a special expertise of the Planning Board, and he feels this is the reason they made no specific recommendations at this time. He suggested that a public hearing be opened up for consideration and debate. Alderwoman McCullough agreed, stating that she feels this decision should rest with the Council, whatever it may be. Moved by Alderman Morrison that a public hearing be opened on this matter. Motion seconded by Alderman Garcia, and carried unanimously. Dr. Donald Terry, 4500 Nassau, appeared for 60 families in the Colonial Park/ Brentwood areas who have signed a letter to the Planning Board requesting that no change be made in the present city ordinances which prevent the sale of alcoholic beverages for either on or off premise consumption in the area of or adjacent to Midwestern Parkway from Hamilton to Maplewood , and Taft from Kell to Southwest Parkway. Copies of this letter were presented to the Mayor. He stated they oppose changes in the liquor zone as presented. They are not objecting to the sale of liquor, but to the sale of it in this area. They do not want topless bars on on Midwestern Parkway. He realizes that alcohol will be sold, but he believes that the seller will also realize that it will be abused. He stated that he has heard no demand for the sale of it. It is not that hard to find, and not that far away from anyone. Public properties in the areas in question are building and expanding without the sale of liquor. The few persons who are interested is not in keeping with the wishes of the majority of the citizens of Wichita Falls. Liquor sales are defined as any and all--on or off premise. Richard Milisci stated that he feels if this is expanded it would open the door for elimination of other zoning. He is opposed to further expansion of the existing zoning of liquor. The overall planning of Wichita Falls should be looked at. Bobby Buchanan appeared as minister of the Bible Baptist Church. He is against the sale of any liquor. He feels that beer is just a stepping stone to something a lot worse. He mentioned some statistics from the Rider Roundup regarding the incidence of drinking among teenagers. He stated that it would cost more to care for alcoholics than the money that will come in. He strictly opposes anything that will do away with our existing laws. He stated that he had tried to get information on tickets issued in connection with drinking, but had been unable to do so. C. C. Daniel, Police Chief, stated that court records are public, but police records are not. Numbers are available, but not names. George Ritchie, 4 Trenton Terrace, opposed extension of the liquor zone ordinance. Any value would be taken away by the detriment to our family neighborhood. He is also a property owner on Midwestern Parkway. Martha Menzies, 4419 Martinique, opposed the sale of alcoholic beverages in an area where children can go and take their friends. 64 Item 5a, cont'd Mark Galloway, 3501 Wagonwheel Circle opposed the extension of the liquor zone. He cited statistics that 13 of the 18 traffic fatalities in Wichita Falls in 1975 were alcohol related. Alcohol is a drug. He is opposed to it for financial reasons for his family. Alderman Morrison mentioned various categories of licensing. Mr. Galloway was opposed to the extension of the sale of any liquor in Wichita Falls. Forrest Robertson, 4511 Nassau, stated that in the 1940's we had off premise stores scattered all over Wichita Falls. The town was voted dry because of these things. He is opposed to any extension of the zones. He is not taking up the issue on a moral basis. Richard Rogers , 3716 Cedar Elm, opposed the extension of the liquor zone. Junior and Senior high school kids go to the shopping center. He feels it should be left as it is. Dr. Benny Fleming, 4515 Barbados, opposed any extension of the liquor zone. He does not want his children in that environment. Bob Norsworthy, 4508 Dunbarton, appeared as minister of Lamar Baptist Church. He is opposed to the expansion of the liquor zone on a moral basis. The basic home ingredients in society are affected. He cited such things as traffic, youth, and harm to the body. Ronnie Adams, 4204 Randel, mentioned Kemp and Kell. He is opposed to further expansion of the sale of any alcoholic beverages. He read certain information from a recent newspaper story regarding alcohol and road deaths. With the lowering of age, teenagers are becoming more problem drinkers. If we relax our laws we are just adding more problems to the City. He belives we need more strict law enforcement in regard to zoning, and not an expansion. Mrs. Wanda Tole, 4416 Montego, strongly opposed expansion of the liquor zone on Midwestern Parkway. To sell it here would only downgrade the area. She lives about three blocks from there. Clyde Fillmore appeared representing Bob Seabury (French Quarter) and Jim and Fred Lowder (Jiffy Food Stores) . The original liquor zone was extended in 1969 along commercial highways which had arisen since the first zone confining it to downtown Wichita Falls. On some of these streets you will find a few houses, but they have become commercial areas for the most part. The purpose of the City Council is to control the sale of alcoholic beverages as voted by the citizens of Wichita Falls. He does not feel that a valid argument lies in the fact that someone can drive into the zone and purchase liquor. The Jiffy Stores offer it for off-premise consumption. The French Quarter has a restaurant. He does not believe the extension of the zone would infringe upon the right of any citizen of Wichita Falls. The argument that there would be constantly a request from the original zone if this is approved now is not valid. Orderly growth of the City is not a valid argument. More crime and more police and fire protection is also an argument. There is no proof that in 1969 when the zone was extended that there has been greater consumption since that time. In keeping with the progress and develop- ment of Wichita Falls it would not be detrimental to anyone's rights to extend the zone along the commercial area as outlined on the map. Fred Lowder stated that they did not take into consideration the location of their stores, but only on arterial and commercial streets. Mr. Fillmore recommended expansion of the liquor zone as presently exists along commercial streets. Mayor Boyd inquired if the areas in yellow on the map are designated highways. The City Manager stated that only two of them are. Alderman Morrison noted that development of the private clubs would seem to present more of a threat to the homeowners around the French Village than any on-premise consumption in the area. Spencer Crouch appeared for Sikes Senter. He noted that sale of liquor is authorized in Wichita Falls. He feels the danger of traffic accidents might be reduced somewhat by not having to drive across town. Sales are allowed on the main arteries. He suggested that there is no reason to prohibit sales on these other arteries in Wichita Falls. Sikes Senter serves a large segment of the citizens of Wichita Falls, and not just local residents. They recognize the fear 65 Item 5a, cont'd of residents in residential areas , but the areas shown in yellow on the map are primarily commercial, and not residential. He does not believe that changing the liquor zone would change the citizens and the character of this municipality. Buford Rice, 3709 Sheridan Road, appeared as a licensed holder. The requests in yellow were made at the Planning Board meetings. He mentioned that we have several taverns on state highways which obtain a dance license. He feels this is a slip-up on the part of the Council, and was not intended that way, but it is the way it came out. T. W. Manchester, 4402 Martinique, stated that he has not heard a crying need for this type of expansion. Within a mile of where he lives, alcoholic beverages can be obtained in a package store or a restaurant. W. F. Patterson, representing Joyce's 7-11 on Fairway, stated he is in favor of expansion. More driving to get a drink means more traffic. If this expansion is approved he would like to see something placed in the ordinance which would keep the Council from facing this decision again in a short time. Each establish- ment should be considered on its own merits. He suggested a review board with a non-biased judge. Fred Lowder, President of Jiffy Food Stores , stated that he had talked with Doyle Davis at the Alcoholic Beverage Commission before he contacted his attorney. Mr. Davis stated it would not create anymore enforcement for them. The sale of alcoholic beverages is very high between 11:30 and 12 :00 P.M. If something is not done we will have to deal more with private clubs. He stated that he probably would be concerned if he lived in the area of the French Quarter. In 1946, taverns were relegated to a third or fourth class situation. Federal and state highways were picked in 1969 because these were the commercial areas. The commercial areas have now extended into other areas. The growth in this city has been curtailed by the existing ordinance which we now have. He mentioned home deliveries of kegs of beer. Curtis Conner, of Curtis Discount Store on Southwest Parkway, stated that in 1954 or 1955 an ordinance was passed to prohibit home deliveries of kegs of beer. This was verified by City Attorney H. P. Hodge in the Code of Ordinances . The public hearing was closed. Moved by Alderman Morrison that the City Attorney be requested to prepare for consideration at the next Council meeting an ordinance which would extend the sale of beer and wine by restaurants, and defining restaurants very narrowly to include total sales of at least 70 percent foodstuff, and change the reporting requirements of the seller from an annual reporting to a quarterly reporting. Restrictions should be considered with respect to location of residences, churches, schools, and any other institutional facility that we might jointly agree upon, and that sale from this classification not have any territorial application at all, but that it be allowed at any location. Motion seconded by Alderwoman McCullough, and carried unanimously. Moved by Alderman Garcia that an ordinance be prepared for consideration allowing the sale of beer and wine for off-premise consumption in food stores presently designated on the map as commercial streets. Motion seconded by Alderwoman McCullough. m City Attorney H. P. Hodge stated that a commercial area would be hard to define. Alderman McAlister stated that without a comprehensive zoning ordinance there is nothing to preclude any of these areas from becoming commercial , and coming back to us. He is not inclined to agree with package stores in the yellow area. The motion was carried unanimously. 66 Item 5a, cont'd Alderman Gowan noted that he did not participate or vote on this matter because of a conflict of interest. Moved by Mayor Boyd that an ordinance be prepared for consideration indicating that no changes be made. Motion seconded by Alderman Morrison, and carried unanimously. Forrest Robertson stated that he would like to have copies of the map available for study. It was agreed that maps and proposed ordinances would be sent to those who appeared today. Dr. Forrest Whan, 4100 Emerson, stated that package stores were not considered. It was pointed out that it had not been requested. A motion was made by Alderman McAlister that we include an ordinance on package stores. No second was received. Item 6a A proposed ordinance was presented setting refuse rates on certain properties abutting alley paving projects. v ORDINANCE NO. 3043 ORDINANCE SETTING REFUSE RATES ON CERTAIN PROPERTIES ABUTTING ALLEY PAVING PROJECTS. Moved by Alderman Prothro that Ordinance No. 3043 be passed.

West and others on Ft. Worth and Denver right-of-way. Alderman Morrison abstained from participation in this matter because he had previously represented Mr. West.

Ed Ilschner stated that the property owner does not want to move the hedge, and if he does so, he feels that he is entitled to damages. Speed bumps in the street were mentioned. Mr. Ilschner stated that they have been tried and found not to be adequate. He also stated that their studies show there is not an excessive speed on this street. The average speed is below 35 mph. Alderman McAlister feels some positive action is needed. Mr. Ilschner stated that he has recommended removal of the hedge to eliminate the sight problem. Alderman Prothro agreed, but disagrees with the speed. He feels speed is very excessive along that street, and that better enforcement is needed. Selected enforcement was requested by Alderman Morrison. Alderman Prothro requested a report in 60 days after enforcement is begun. ti/ Item 10b Alderman Gowan reported on the charter revision committee. The following were named as members : Mrs. Margaret Sims-League of Women Voters Mr. John Copeland-Attorney Dr. Leo Sabota-Midwestern State University Gary Southard-Asst. City Attorney Alderman McAlister noted that we do not have a business representative. He feels this would be good. He also questions whether a member of the City staff should be a voting member of this Commission since they would be available anyway. He feels a great deal of wisdom and experience is needed in revising a charter. Alderwoman McCullough suggested the name of Bill Donnell. Action was postponed until the next meeting. 70 Ite— em lOc Moved by Alderman Prothro that a public hearinbeheldonFebruary3, 1976.g on hazardous structuresMotionsecondedbyAldermanGarcia, and carried unanimously,Ited i The subject of bAldermanMcAlisterstated all field lights at Williams Parkjustified.
