Gates (108 5th St. and 1517 15th St.) Item 4a Consideration was given to the Texas Electric Service Company rate increase request. The City Manager explained that the rate request had been filed with the City on September 2, and they have also presented information relating to their operations. They have looked at it on a company wide basis, rather than just a Wichita Falls operation. The City Manager noted that the rates requested are not unreasonable, but it should be noted that the additional revenue is to retain the strong financial vitality of the company to provide adequate elec- trical energy. Alderman Boyd noted that the Council has gone through this mater- ial in considerable detail. Eddie Watson commented on part of the material submitted. He stated that a financially strong utility company is in a position to make plans and carry them out for the benefit of their customers. It allows them to serve their customers on a long range cheaper than if they were living on a hand-to-mouth existence. Texas Electric rates are now the cheapest in the state, and among the cheapest in the nation. Alderwoman McCullough inquired how the increase will affect that standing? Mr. Watson stated that they will still be the lowest in the state. He also noted their favorable bond ratings.

Alderman Boyd noted the favorable rate given by Texas Electric on the water and sewer system. 25 d Item 5a Alderman Boyd commented on the use of the term "Alderpersons" in a memo. It was his desire that they be addressed as Mayor and Board of Aldermen. He stated that he does not find that word in his dictionary. t A proposed ordinance was presented annexing certain lands including Washex and adjacent to Expressway Village. ORDINANCE NO. 3025 AN ORDINANCE EXTENDING THE CITY LIMITS OF THE CITY OF WICHITA FALLS , TEXAS , BY ANNEXING CERTAIN LANDS ADJACENT TO THE TERRITORIAL LIMITS OF THE CITY OF WICHITA FALLS , TEXAS , WHICH LANDS ARE DESCRIBED IN THIS ORDINANCE.

Motion seconded by Alderwoman McCullough, and carried by the following vote: Ayes : Aldermen McAlister, Garcia, Gowan, Prothro, and McCullough Nays : None. Item 5b J , A proposed ordinance was presented amending the animal control ordinance. r ORDINANCE NO. 3032 f AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ARTICLE IV OF ORDINANCE NO. 3000, REQUIRING VACCINATION OF CATS FOR RABIES. Moved by Alderwoman McCullough that Ordinance No. 3032 be passed. Motion seconded by Alderman McAlister, and carried by the following vote: Ayes : Aldermen McAlister, Garcia, Gowan, Prothro, and McCullough Nays : None. Item lla Discussion was held on consideration of amendments to the animal control f ordinance requiring licensing and identification of dogs. Various veterinary offices have been contacted. The City Manager explained that there are several f problems involved if we attempted to use the rabies tag as a means of identifica- tion, such as. (1) A standard rabies vaccination form does not exist, (2) Each veterinarian establishes his own numbering system for rabies tags, (3) Veterinarians vaccinate many dogs of owners living outside the city, (4) Sheppard Air Force Base is prohibited from releasing required information, and (5) Our animal control personnel could not administer a complex filing system. He recommended that the dog licensing procedure be continued in order to better identify dogs, and that we provide each veterinarian with license applications which would be certified by the veterinarian, and filled in and mailed to Municipal Court by the dog owner. The application would then be processed and the license issued and mailed to the applicant. Alderman McAlister inquired what entity requires rabies vaccination? It was pointed out that it is a state requirement. Rabies tags are furnished by the veterinarian, along with the forms used for this purpose. The tags are consecutively numbered by each veterinarian. The City receives this information when the citizen applies for a license. Information pertaining to total numbers vaccinated is sent to the State by the veterinarians. Alderman McAlister stated that he did not see why one license could not be used for both. Dr. Roberts stated that the numbering system is for identification. The identity of the dog is very important for health reasons, and the owner's identity. He does not feel that you can have too much identification. He does not feel that the city tag should be sold on the basis of identification only. Dr. Roberts further stated that we have a good rabies vaccination program in the city. He stated that most calls for clarification of vaccination are in the day 26 Item lla, cont'd. time. City license tags have other advantages. Dog owners profit more than any- one else. Alderman McAlister inquired if the City provided the rabies tags, could not the veterinarian furnish the City with a record of that vaccination? Dr. Riddle stated that it would be necessary to have two separate tags for cats and dogs, and for residents and non-residents. Some veterinarians do not use tags with their names on them, but use the tags provided by the company furnishing the vac- cine. Alderwoman McCullough inquired if the veterinarians would be willing to hand an application to those persons to apply for licensing. They stated that they would be willing to do so. Dr. Riddle stated that licensing is part of the res- ponsibility of the animal owner to support the animal control ordinance. Alder- man Prothro inquired why have two identification tags? Dr. Riddle stated that licensing for identification is secondary. The revenue is primarily for promot- ing animal control. Enforcement is on a voluntary basis or by getting caught. Alderwoman McCullough noted that we cannot force the veterinarians to go along with this. Mark Wilson stated that we will still have problems because Sheppard Air Force Base cannot furnish the information to us, no matter who furnishes the tags. He explained that if we had one tag, one numbering system, and one standardized form it would not create any impact on their operations. Alderman Gowan stated that he does not think we have the cooperation of the citizens in regard to city licensing. They want to have their dogs vaccinated, but they fail to see the need for licensing. Mr. Wilson stated that the educat- ional ad hoc committee plans some educational programs along this line. An unidentified man stated that when you go to that system one-fourth of the people will not vaccinate their dogs if they have to buy a city license. Ed Ilschner, speaking as a citizen, stated that he would disagree with this gentleman because he valued his family and pet above that of licensing. Dr. Roberts stated that he agreed that it would cut the vaccinations by 25 percent. He stated that he formerly collected licensing fees for the City, but not many citizens cooperated. The only time you have communication with that dog owner is when the dog is vaccinated. He feels a $2.00 licensing fee would eliminate some rabies vaccinations. Moved by Alderman Prothro that this subject matter be tabled. Motion seconded by Alderwoman McCullough, and carried unanimously. Alderman McAlister inquired what will happen now? The City Manager stated that we will provide license applications to the veterinarians.

Mr. Thomas stated that John Ruhmann, who was then Director of Water Development, directed him to purchase this material because it was very difficult to obtain. Mr. Thomas cited a paragraph in the contract giving the Director of Public Utilities authority to approve any changes. Their last invoice was for the work which they had done. Nothing was said about material which had been purchased. He stated that Mayor Kruger told him that it was not morally right for him to be stuck with material which he could not use. The City Manager stated that the City would have very little use for these pilings. The dam is scheduled for reconstruction in the next several years and he feels that it will not require any further repair until that time. (The City Attorney had previously advised the Board of Aldermen that, in his opinion, the City is neither obligated nor authorized to pay the contractor an additional amount under this contract. Should they desire to purchase these pilings aside from the contract, the state statute requires that any contract for more than $3,000 must be submitted on competitive bids) . Mr. Thomas stated that everything he did was at the direction of Mr. Ruhmann. He does not feel he should be left with this $4,000 expenditure which he purchased at the City's direction.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN OF THE CITY OF WICHITA FALLS , TEXAS, THAT: The bid of $195,253.00 by Meyers Bros. , Inc. is hereby accepted, and the City Manager is authorized to execute a contract with Meyers Bros. , Inc. for the construc- tion of such building alterations and additions for a senior citizens center.

Item 13 fr Dub Dennis, Dennis Construction Company, appeared regarding a park in Bel Air Addition. He stated that because Kell took part of their property they con- tinued to develop under the old plat until the Planning Board requested a new preliminary plat. Mr. Rigby requested that a new park site be made available. They enlarged it to show more than three acres. They are in the process of doing the third section of Bel Air. They will have accomplished the 50 percent com- pletion. A public park will be acceptable to the residents of Bel Air. He would make $10,000 available which would be used for tennis courts , if Mr. Rigby could provide other equipment. He feels that a purchase price of $5,000 per acre for the park is fair since they would be using space for lots which would bring about 50,000. Action on this matter will be postponed until November 18. Item 14 David Jacobs appeared as a representative of Laborers ' International Union of North America. He requested reconsideration of the resolution which would authorize employee withholding for water and sewer employees. He stated that it ft is an extension of a service already provided to employees. There is hardly any t' cost and no trouble to the City. He requested assignment of wages to employee associations. He mentioned Sheppard Air Force Base and teachers who deduct dues for employee associations. By granting this request there is no change in the relationship between the City and its employees. There is no big problem on a computerized payroll. He mentioned TML and ICMA and others of which the City is a member. If there is no other valid basis to deny it, then it is assumed that it is denied on a personal basis to discourage which may be against the law. He stated that Mr. Harvey Pinnell, a city employee, is with him today. He requested reconsideration today of this resolution. Mayor Pro tem Boyd stated that if any alderman desired to reconsider this matter that they should request the City Manager to put it on the agenda. Moved by Alderman Garcia that if anyone desires this matter to be placed on the agenda for reconsideration, they should request the City Manager to do so. Motion seconded by Alderwoman McCullough, and carried unanimously. i Alderman McAlister requested that they discuss the final report of Jarratt, Locke, and Tillery regarding the water and sewer accounting at their work session on November 12. Also, zero based budgeting. 32 The Board of Aldermen adjourned at 1 :08 P.M. PASSED AND APPROVED this L-day of , d// x./1975. CA Al& r Pro tem ATTEST: cf----1.-;/2- Deputy City Clerk a
