Item 5d
Discussion was held on the request of Sikes Senter Development Corporation for
curb access on Kemp Boulevard between Elliott Street and Southwest Parkway. The City
Manager recommended that the developers be required to construct and pay for left hand r+ 'r'
storage lanes in Kemp Boulevard when and if that becomes necessary. The drainage ditch
now separates the two directions of traffic.
David Tate appeared as attorney for owner of the property in question, requesting
a maximum of 12 curb cuts. They desire some flexibility in their planning, and their
request is based upon receiving joint approval of both the Planning and Traffic
Departments. He stated that Mr. Ondrejas and Mr. Ilschner have worked with them, and
both have a great deal of integrity. He questions whether Sikes Senter Corporation
should be burdened with paying for left turn storage lanes at existing median cuts along
this facility. Ordinance No. 2734 applies to median cuts, stacking lanes, etc. He
does not feel that the existing ordinance would cover this situation. He mentioned
several locations where a curb cut did not require a left turn stacking lane, such as
Skaggs Albertsons (north curb cut) , Sherwood Forest Apartments, Wichita Falls Country
Club, and Spears Furniture. He noted that farther on down Midwestern Parkway a
stacking lane was put in at the same time the median was installed. It was pointed
out that stacking lanes are provided due to unpaved streets off Midwestern Parkway
east of the Jacksboro Highway. Mr. Tate stated that by placing this cost on the
developer of Midwestern Park Addition you might very well prohibit the development
of it. It would also increase the tax dollars. They are not applying for a left turn
stacking bay.
Charles Tipp appeared as Director of Marketing for Sikes Senter Corporation. He
stated that they are applying for 11 curb cuts, but will take back two of them if they
do not serve the traffic flow. He stated that they are willing to live with the plan
they are presenting today. All curb cuts were offset not to have left hand turns into
the property. They would have to go to the end of the block to make a left turn.
Mark Conn, Vice-President of Sikes Senter Corporation, stated that they are the
third largest taxpayer in Wichita Falls. It is their intent to either develop the
property behind Kemp, or to let someone else develop it properly. They are willing to
put the streets in at their own cost, but the cost of putting in these left turn lanes
is so prohibitive that they cannot develop the property if that has been made a
requirement. They are willing to put in left turn lanes if the City would fill in the
drainage ditch across the lanes on Kemp. They are asking for these curb cuts before
they sell the property. They will not be able to develop the property if they are
required to make the left turn lanes across Kemp. He estimated a cost of $50,000 to
60,000 for each left turn lane. He also stated that this property is assessed at
25,000 per acre.
327
Item 5d, cont'd.
Alderman McAlister inquired what steps we are taking on McGrath Creek today to
prevent drainage problems when the other property in Sikes is developed? Alderman
Ryle pointed out that every development which is made increases the drainage problem
downstream. Ernest Lillard explained that the system which they are now designing
on McGrath Creek would handle a twenty-five year storm frequency.
Ed Ilschner, Director of Traffic, stated that the north left turn slot at Skaggs
was not put in because it was designed primarily for egress instead of ingress.
Skaggs did provide the money for that one left turn storage bay. The policy which we
have now allows for median cuts at other than designated streets where there is a
large traffic volume. The primary purpose of a major arterial street is to move large
traffic volumes. He further stated that they would not be required to put in the left
turn bays at the time the development occurs, but would have an opportunity to recoup
a part of their investment before it would be necessary. The City would make a study
of the traffic patterns along there before requesting the left turn storage bays. Rhea
Road South was cited as an example of a left turn bay which was paid for by the developer.
Ernest Lilla.rd explained that the City put in the left turn bays on Midwestern Parkway
and other streets where access points were available at the time the street was put in.
A motion was made and seconded to adopt the proposal of Sikes Senter Corporation,
but that we include also the addition of Paragraph 6 to Section One dealing with the
construction of a left turn storage bay.
At this point in time Mr. Conn stated that he desired to withdraw his request
because they could not saddle the property owner with the additional cost of the left
turn curb cuts.
A substitute motion was made and seconded that the ordinance be adopted as
presented by Mr. Tate. The motion was withdrawn.
Mr. Tate suggested various wordings for Paragraph 6, as did City Manager Gerald
Fox. Following the words "construction costs", Mr. Fox suggested the following:
and would include only normal costs for construction of such left turn storage bay
construction, exclusive of any drainage improvements. The location of such left turn
storage bay shall be determined by the Director of Traffic, based on studies of turning
movement volumes, traffic flow patterns, and other safety considerations." This was
agreeable to Sikes Senter Corporation officials.
The following substitute motion was made.
ORDINANCE NO. 3167
AN ORDINANCE WAIVING FRONTAGE REQUIREMENTS ON CERTAIN PROPOSED LOTS IN
PORTIONS OF THE PROPOSED MIDWESTERN PARK ADDITION TO THE CITY OF WICHITA
FALLS, TEXAS, ABUTTING PROPERTY CURRENTLY OWNED BY TEXAS ELECTRIC SERVICE
COMPANY, AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.
Moved by Alderman Mathis that Ordinance No. 3167 be passed with the addition of

due to a possible conflict of interest) .
v` Item 6a

4ESOLUTION NO. 1936
RESOLUTION OPPOSING THE PROPOSED MERGER OF THE TEXAS COMMISSION ON LAW
ENFORCEMENT OFFICER STANDARDS AND EDUCATION AND THE STATE BOARD OF PRIVATE
INVESTIGATORS AND PRIVATE SECURITY AGENCIES.
WHEREAS, Law Enforcement Officers throughout the State of Texas, recognizing the
need to improve the level of performance of local law enforcement though training,
education and minimum moral, mental and physical standards, sought and obtained
legislation in 1965, creating the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Officer Standards
and Education; and,
WHEREAS, since its creation, the Law Enforcement Commission has steadfastly
pursued the aims of its creators and through its efforts 45 police academies have been
created and certified; law enforcement instructors have been trained and certified and
have taught thousands of Texas Law Enforcement officers in such academies; law
enforcement degree programs have been established in 44 junior colleges and 32
universities, teaching a total of 13,996 students in the last semester alone; management
training for police administrators has been provided; records management systems for
local law enforcement agencies have been developed; validated entry examinations have
been developed and implemented for police applicants; and through all these efforts
the average educational level of more than 30,000 law enforcement officers in the State
of Texas has increased significantly; and,
WHEREAS, all of these achievements by the Law Enforcement Commission have been
accomplished without a charge by the Commission to the officer or the community in
which the law enforcement department is located; and,
WHEREAS, the Commission has previously relied primarily on federal grants from
the Governors Criminal Justice Division for its funding, with the State furnishing
only 18% of the total budget from state general revenue funds; and,
WHEREAS, the Criminal Justice Council has passed a written resolution declaring
that under its policies it can no longer fund the activities of the Commission after
September 1, 1977, and that such funding should be secured from State general revenue
funds; and,
WHEREAS, the Legislative Budget Board has voted to recommend to the state
legislature that the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Education
be merged with the Board of Private Investigators and Private Security Agencies, and
has not only failed to recommend adequate funding for the Commission, but has recommended
reducing by 29% the State's current funding of the Commission out of general revenue
funds; and,
WHEREAS, it is imperative that the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Officer
Standards and Education remain an independent public service agency dedicated solely
to the service of law enforcement, and not be joined with a private industry agency
governing activities operated for private profit; and that adequate funding from State
general revenue funds be provided to ensure the continued activities of the Commission.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN OF THE CITY OF WICHITA
FALLS, TEXAS, THAT:
1. That the Legislative Budget Board reconsider its position and action in voting
to merge the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Officer Standards and
Education with the Board of Private Investigators and Private Security
Agencies; or upon failure of the Legislative Budget Board to reverse its
decisions that the legislature vote against such merger.
2. That the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Education
remain an independent agency dedicated solely to the service of law enforcement
officers and departments throughout the State.
3. That the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Education
be funded entirely from state general revenue funds. Funds can be assured for
these purposes without additional taxes by voting for a bill adding a sufficient
amount to the court costs assessed law violators who necessitate the establishment
and maintenance of the criminal justice system.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the
Governor, to each member of the Legislative Budget Board and each State Representative
and State Senator, in order that they may have made known to them the extreme
gravity and public concern which we hold for the matters expressed in this resolution.

Mrs. Jane Ponder appeared as President of the League of Women Voters regarding
zoning in Wichita Falls. She pointed out that unrestricted commercial development
has created numerous problems, such as traffic congestion, drainage and flooding,
visual and noise pollution, and deterioration of values of residential property where
commercial development is haphazard. Alderman McAlister was not sure that zoning
created any of these problems or that it would solve them. The Mayor stated that this
matter would be looked into.
The City Manager mentioned matters pertaining to Lone Star Gas rate increase
which was adopted in October 1976. The Council agreed to discuss it with the City
Attorney.
Alderman McAlister commented that $25,000 per acre on raw land seems unrealistic.
He mentioned that the cost of an apartment complex designed for the midtown area would
make it economically unfeasible for those persons to live in which were designed for
that purpose. He feels there is something we should be able to do. The City Manager
pointed out that a fair tax on vacant land encourages development of it.
Moved by Alderman McAlister that the following items be placed on a straw vote
ballot for the April election.

The City Manager mentioned that a citizens attitude survey could be mailed in
utility bills. Alderman McAlister was agreeable to this. Alderman McAlister inquired
what has happened on CATV following the report from the City Manager. The City Manager
stated that he is waiting for some direction from the Council.

The City Manager informed the Council of the cost for advertising for the election
just to meet the legal requirements of the charter. Alderman Garcia recommended that
the Council give the staff more time in the future to get translation work done.
Mayor Boyd read a letter from Mrs. Justice regarding the garbage pick-up problem.
y The alley was closed because it was only ten feet wide instead of the required fifteen
feet.
Mayor Boyd also announced that City Manager Gerald Fox had been selected as one
of nine city managers for a European study trip sponsored by the International City
Management Association from March 5 to March 27. His expenses would be paid by the
German Marshall Fund, and he would be using his accumulated leave time for this
purpose.

bution system serving water users within the area described

by the City, but not more frequently than once every twelve ilk
12) months. A meter registering not more than two percent
2%) above or below the test result of the rated capacity
of the meter shall be deemed to be accurate. The previous read-
ings of any meter disclosed by test to be inaccurate shall be
corrected for the twelve (12) months previous to such test in
accordance with the percentage of inaccuracy found by such
tests and existing records. If any meter fails to register
for any period, the amount of water furnished during such peri-
od shall be deemed to be the amount of water pumped in the
corresponding period immediately prior to the failure , based
on existing records , unless City and Corporation shall agree
upon a different amount.
Section 1. 5 : All services on Corporation' s system
shall be separately metered.
Section 1. 6 : Thirty (30) days prior to the estimated

domestic water rate for Wichita Falls customers is changed,
whichever occurs sooner, based upon twice the percentage
increase to the domestic water rate of the city.
Section 2 . 1: The City will read the Corporation meter
on the first day of each month during the term of this Con-
tract. Corporation and City shall have free access to read
meters daily, if they so desire. The City will provide

poration during the preceding month. Corporation shall
pay to the City the amount of the itemized statement for any
month not later than the 15th day of the succeeding month.
Section 3 . 0 : This Contract shall extend for a term of
forty (40) years from the date of the initial metering of any
