Mayor Mathis presented him with a plaque and two tickets each to an interstate theatre and a meal at a choice of restaurants. Mr. Gaurkee is employed in the Waste Water Treatment Department. Item llb A request for water service by Sereno Lago Subdivision was presented by John Hirschi and Doc Anderson. Alderman Bassett stated that he would abstain from discussion of this item because he and Doc Anderson are partners. Mr. Anderson requested consideration of waiver of sidewalks, but since this request had not previously been addressed by the Planning Board, he withdrew that request. The City Manager recommended approval of their request for water to serve that subdivision as outlined in the proposed resolution. RESOLUTION NO. 2117 RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC UTILITIES TO GRANT PERMISSION TO THE CITY OF IOWA PARK TO FURNISH WATER SERVICE TO SERENO LAGO ESTATES. WHEREAS, the City of Iowa Park has a water purchase contract with the City of Wichita Falls ; and , WHEREAS, John M. Hirschi has requested that the City of Wichita Falls grant permission to the City of Iowa Park to furnish water service to the development known as Sereno Lago Estates. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN OF THE CITY OF WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS, THAT: The Director of Public Utilities is authorized to grant permission to the City of Iowa Park to sell water to the owners or occupants of the residential and commercial units which shall be constructed at Sereno Lago Estates , subject to the following conditions : 590 Item lib, cont'd. 1 . If the property is not subdivided into individual lots with dedication of street rights-of-way and utility easements but platted as a single lot with all improvements including streets and sidewalks being the private property of those persons who have ownership in the condominium project, the development would still be required to meet the City's subdivision regulation as far as layout of the subdivision, minimum widths for right-of-way dedication and street and sidewalk construction are concerned. In the event that this development would in the future request public dedication of rights-of-way and acceptance of improvements it would then meet the City's minimum requirements. Also at that time utility easements could be dedicated to the public for maintenance of such. 2. The development would have to meet the City's minimum requirements for subdivision layout, dedication and street and sidewalk construction if it is to be platted into individual lots as a normal subdivision. 3. In either event, as this property is within the City's extraterritorial jurisdiction it would have to be acceptably subdivided and approved by the Planning Board of the City of Wichita Falls . Moved by Alderman Ryle that Resolution No. 2117 be passed, approving water service subject to them operating within the guidelines which the Planning Board uses for this type of planning. Motion seconded by Alderwoman McCullough, and carried by the following vote: Ayes : Mayor Mathis , Aldermen McAlister, Ashbrook, Ryle, Alderwomen Russell , and McCullough Nays : None Item 12a Discussion was held on a proposed ordinance creating a design review commission. Stephen Ondrejas explained that the Depot Square project included a historical district within the central business district. This would institute a historical program for the City of Wichita Falls . Discussions have already been held with individuals for a proposal for their neighborhood to have a historical district. He feels we will have requests from other areas of the City for other historical districts. A commission of seven members would be set up. Three would be members of the Historical Society, two from architects , one city planning staff member, and one member of the Midtown Now executive board. They would have the power to approve or disapprove applications for design review. The criteria which they would use is set up. He explained the procedure to be followed after plans are either approved or conditionally approved. If they are disapproved, an appeal process has been established to the Planning Board , and further to the Board of Aldermen. Mayor Mathis raised a question concerning the drawing of the historical district indicating that it did not appear to follow property lines, which would make it a hindrance to the property owners if they wanted to remodel their buildings. The City Attorney stated that the drawing is out of scale; that it includes only the back wall . Alderman Bassett inquired what has been done to inform the property owners in this district of the proposed ordinance? Steve Ondrejas stated that they have kept Midtown Now informed , and they had a map published in the paper. Alderman Bassett questioned that Midtown Now has been sanctioned to speak for the private sector. Alderwoman Russell stated that about a year and a half ago every property owner was notified of proposed changes , and they were invited to attend a meeting to get their recommendations . Alderman Ryle expressed concern that the property owners should have an opportunity to have some input into this matter. Beth Francell , 4315 McNeil , appeared in support of the ordinance creating a historical district. Charles Harper also requested passage of it. Bill Donnell also expressed his support. A motion was made and seconded for passage of a design review ordinance; however, Aldermen McAlister and Bassett were not in favor of it today because they did not feel it had been properly circulated to all property owners involved. A substitute motion was made, as follows. Moved by Alderman McAlister that this ordinance be distributed to all property owners within the territorial description contained in this ordinance, and that adequate time be allowed, and a public hearing be held, and that action be taken on it after the public hearing. Motion seconded by Alderman Ryle, and carried unanimously. 591 '/ Item 12b Discussion was held on a proposed ordinance to control certain types of advertising utilizing flashing lights resembling traffic signals or emergency vehicle lighting. Ed Ilschner showed a short film demonstrating examples of lighting which he feels would be hazardous to drivers. He feels that a steady burn technique light will still provide the advantages the merchants need. Kenneth Johnson appeared representing Joe Mike Pistocco regarding his large sequentially flashing lights sign on Travis Street. He stated that it is on his property, and high in the air. He recommended further consideration of this matter. Alderman Ryle noted that in the Traffic Commission meeting there was some dissention because the state law was not being enforced. Although the statute did not specifically state, they feel it is probably limited to state highways. Mr. Johnson feels it is unconstitutional . Phil Taylor appeared representing Profit Advertising in Burkburnett. They have 15 signs in Wichita Falls. He would like the Council to grant a 60-day continuance of this matter. He has changed his flashing lights from amber to white. He explained that presidents of various advertising companies would like to appear in regard to federal court rulings on this matter. Alderman McAlister noted that if we just said that the flashing lights could not be red, amber, or green, it would be a step better than what we now have. Mr. Ilschner desired that blue also be included because of emergency vehicles. Moved by Alderman Ryle that it be referred back to the Traffic Commission for their review, and that the discussion held by the Council be included. Motion seconded by Alderman Ashbrook, and carried unanimously. vItem 12c A proposed ordinance was presented extending the Southwestern Bell Telephone Company street rental (franchise) ordinance.

Motion seconded by Alderman McAlister, and carried by the following vote: 594 Item 13d , cont'd. Ayes : Mayor Mathis , Aldermen McAlister, Bassett, Ashbrook, Ryle, Alderwomen Russell , and McCullough Nays : None ,;Girl Scout Troop 76 was recognized. Item 14a Alderman Ryle reported on the Central Garage study, stating that it was very comprehensive, and complimented the staff on it. The committee made the following recommendations. 1 . It should become the policy of the City of Wichita Falls to contract out all maintenance except preventive maintenance. We recommend this policy be implemented by asking for maintenance contracts to be tied to the replacement of equipment. This may not be the least expensive way initially, but we feel that in the long run it will be cost effective and save money for the City. 2. In case the City cannot get bids on equipment and maintenance tied together, then the City should try to secure separate maintenance contracts. During the general discussion between committee, staff, and dealers , it was brought to light that there may be some equipment such as the "mama" garbage trucks which have special equipment that cannot be maintained locally or which no one will bid on maintaining. 3. City owned facilities should be upgraded to handle preventive maintenance, and if no maintenance contract can be acquired on certain equipment, then the City should acquire a building large enough to house equipment when maintenance is being accomplished. We recommend that the council set aside the sum of $200,000 from next year's Revenue Sharing funds for this purpose. 4. The committee should assist in writing the specifications for maintenance contracts to be put out for bids. He pointed out that the City will not be able to implement this change overnight. They feel that ultimately contract maintenance will be more effective and efficient. A staff reduction is not anticipated until vehicles are purchased with contract maintenance. Alderman McAlister stated that it is their feeling that as the city becomes a good and volume customer the dealers will take care of their good customers. Mayor Mathis stated that in private industry most large fleet operators have their own maintenance facility. Assistant City Manager Bob Haley stated that they confirmed with Mr. Kidwell that the letter from the sales manager correctly stated his views. He stated that they have been unable to document any data to prove the rationale that the contract maintenance concept is more cost effective. He stated that dealers would not give them priority. Alderman Ryle feels that we should give dealers an opportunity to bid on maintenance tied to the purchase of new vehicles. Moved by Alderman Ryle that the committee report recommendations be accepted. Motion seconded by Alderman McAlister, and carried by the following vote: Ayes : Aldermen McAlister, Bassett, Ryle, and Alderwomen Russell and McCullough Nays : Mayor Mathis Item 7a Permission was requested to advertise for bids for a fire department pumper. Discussion followed on the color. Fire Chief Hurshel Johnson stated that he would hate to have different color vehicles in the fleet because it would take many years to make it uniform. The majority of the Council was in favor of red. Moved by Alderman Bassett that authority be granted to advertise for bids, as requested. Motion seconded by Alderman Ashbrook and carried unanimously. Item 14c Chief Accounting Officer Gerald Carlson commented on the feasibility study pertaining i 595 -Item 14c, cont'd. to automation of miscellaneous receivables in the accounting system. He stated that it would enhance the cash accounting system. The system which is presented here will be on a daily basis to give us information on what is in our checking and savings accounts. Centralized billing was also discussed. It can be handled through the computer, and it will help the department. City Manager Gerald Fox stated that this is the type of study they would hope to conduct on any new systems proposed by Data Processing before adding anything new to the system. Moved by Alderman McAlister that the study be accepted and implemented. Motion seconded by Alderman Russell , and carried unanimously. ,f, Item 14d Mayor Mathis noted a communication from Otis Polk, Chairman of Rosewood Neighborhood Group One, requesting that the community center on Smith Street be named Martin Luther King Multi-Purpose Center. Moved by Alderman Bassett that the request be granted. Motion seconded by Alderwoman McCullough, and carried unanimously. Mr. Polk also requested that the new overpass at Edison and Holmes be named the E.M. Davis Overpass in honor of the lone surviving member of the original Negro Chamber of Commerce organized in 1922 to request an overpass from the east side. Moved by Alderman Ryle that the request be granted. Motion seconded by Alderman Ashbrook, and carried unanimously. Charles Everhart commented about board appointments, requesting equal representation on all boards and commissions regardless of ethnic conditions. He stated that the black community would like to be a part of it. The City Manager inquired if he had ever talked V to the Mayor and Board of Aldermen regarding suggesting names to serve on those boards and commissions? He explained that that interest should be expressed to the Council . Mr. Everhart stated that he had not, but that it was a good idea. Alderman Ryle suggested that he give a list of names to the City Manager's Office of those who might be interested in serving on various boards. The Council commended him on wanting to become more involved. Alderman McAlister explained that the reason for discussing board appointments in executive session was personnel and personalities. Alderwoman McCullough asked him for a list of names before they go into executive session. The City Manager recommended that the Council permit the City of Wichita Falls to ✓intervene in the 'Southwestern Bell rate increase case. Moved by Alderwoman McCullough that the City be authorized to intervene as requested. Motion seconded by Alderwoman Russell , and carried unanimously.
