Item 9a
The public hearing was opened on hazardous structures.
W. L. Stanford, 3043 Cunningham, inquired why he was ordered to appear. Preston
McBee, Housing Code Enforcement Officer, explained that he had previously requested
Mr. Stanford to either secure or demolish the building and clean up the lot of lumber.
Mr. Stanford stated that there have not been any weeds or tall grass on that lot since
early spring. Doors were put on yesterday. The lumber is about 100 feet away from
the building. Mr. Stanford stated that a packer truck nas been turning around on
the church property. Two refuse cans were backed over by the Sanitation Department.
There has been no effort by the City to level the ruts. Ninety percent of the lumber
has been removed which was on the lot. The remainder of it will be removed either
this coming Saturday or Saturday week. He would like for the ruts to be leveled, and
payment for one light duty trash can and one heavy duty can. He also complained that
asphalt was dumped on his property by the City, and trash is not picked up when
Sanitation department workers drop it. City Manager Gerald Fox informed Mr. Stanford
that he would look into the Sanitation department complaints. It appears that he has
met the terms of the ordinance on securing the building. Mr. McBee noted that weeds
are around the lumber.
Mr. McBee noted that Billups of Houston has sent a $200 check to take care of
removing and securing the building and cleaning it up. Mr. Pavlas will take care of it.
Jimmie Goins , 212 Travis , appeared regarding his property at 109-117 Duncan. He
stated that he would clean it up when he has time. The City wants him to demolish it.
Mr. McBee stated that if there are other arrangements which he has made, their department
would like to know about it before the public hearing. He stated that this has been
a source of complaint that a white man has been allowed to maintain this property in
this manner in the black part of town. Mr. Goins produced a paper in which the
Municipal Court has ordered that it be cleaned up by December 1 , 1978. Ed Ilschner
stated that this property at Duncan and Reilly is a hazardous intersection for sight
clearance. Trees, fence line, weeds , etc. needs to be cleaned up immediately.
Melvin Cohee appeared for property at 706 Fort Worth. He lives in Kansas City,
and has not seen the property in about a year. The City Manager explained that the
ordinance requires him to either remove or make it habitable within 30 day. Mr. McBee
stated that windows are knocked out, and it is in a state of disrepair. He requested
that it be secured and kept secured until he gets the work done within 30 days.
Shirley Butler appeared as Office Manager of Barnes Maintenance, for property at
1204 Grace. She requested a 90-day extension. They have taken out a building permit.
The rear structure has been secured , and the staircase removed. Mr. McBee did not see
any reason to give them additional time. He believes 30 days is enough. Mrs. Butler
stated that they have had a juvenile problem over there. Mr. McBee stated that they
probably need a separate permit for each building, and to check with Mr. Van Loh.
He also requested that the building be secured if they cannot repair, restore, or
demolish it for a while.
The public hearing was closed.
V ORDINANCE NO. 3343
ORDINANCE CLOSING HEARING AND FINDING CERTAIN BUILDINGS AND/OR STRUCTURES

Item 12b
A proposed ordinance was presented changing impoundment, boarding, and license
fees in Animal Control .
ORDINANCE NO. 3346
ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTIONS 5-10, 5-40 and 5-118 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES,
TO INCREASE THE IMPOUNDMENT, BOARDING AND LICENSE FEES FOR ANIMALS.
Moved by Aldermen Bassett that Ordinance No. 3346 be passed.
Motion seconded by Alderman McAlister.
Dr. Aubrey Cox, Acting Director of the Health Unit, explained that he does not
feel it is proper to charge some of the fees which have been suggested. If fees are
charged they should be enforced for all animals , and not just those which are impounded.
He stated that utility costs would be decreased , as well as more availability of one
of the workers to pick up animals by having the Humane Society take over the pound.
Alderman McAlister stated that licensing is a joke. There are many complaints about
animals running loose in the City. If we are in the animal control business , it should
be on a self-subsidizing basis. There is no way to apprehend animals the way the
ordinance is written. The City Manager stated that as of today, the interpretation of
the ordinance is that an animal can be picked up anywhere that it is not on a leash.
Tom Edmondson stated that some cities are doing a better job than we are because they
spend more money on animal control .
Toni De Stephano, of the Humane Society, stated that the animals which are
unadoptable will be destroyed. Those adoptable will be spayed or neutered, and will be
V checked as far as space, fence, and housing is concerned. She feels there should be a
fine for those who do not take care of their pets. The fee should be high enough to get
kheir attention. It was noted that veterinarians charge $3.00 per day for straight
boarding, and $5.00 per day for rabies observation.
678
Item 12b, cont'd.
The motion was carried by the following vote:
Ayes: Mayor Hill , Aldermen McAlister, Bassett, Thomas , Adcock, and Alderwoman Russell
Nays: Alderman Smith
V Item 12c
A proposed ordinance was presented prohibiting possession and consumption of
alcoholic beverages at Loch Lomond Park. Alderman Smith stated that the Park Board
went into this matter as a parks issue and not from a moral or religious view. They
discussed problems with spectators and casual users of alcohol . Some parents were
afraid to send their children to the parks. The parks director and supervisors feel
that the problem is growing. The Park Board voted to ban drinking in Loch Lomond
Park since it was near a residential area. We need to have some way to have an
enforceable law such as signing, total ban, or something else.
A motion was made by Alderman McAlister and seconded by Alderman Thomas to prohibit
possession and/or consumption of alcoholic beverages in Loch Lomond Park.
Carl Hall , 4705 Nursery, appeared as Chairman of the Park Board. He stated that
he feels their recommendations should be considered. He presented a report to each
alderman. He stated that the umpire association has stated that they have not had
an incident happen at their ball games. He believes they should take the rest of the
season to look into the drinking and use of the parks in the city. They would like to
come back to the Council at the end of the year with a recommendation in total .
Alderman Bassett noted that we have an inconsistent policy in our parks as far as
drinking is concerned.
A substitute motion was moved by Alderman Bassett that an ordinance be prepared
banning the possession and/or consumption of alcoholic beverages in all city parks
except at Lake Arrowhead, including the golf course, and that signs be posted.
Motion seconded by Alderman Adcock.
Alderwoman Russell stated that because of inconsistency she is not in favor of
such a motion. Neither were Aldermen McAlister, and Thomas.
Alderman Adcock inquired what would hinder the Park Board from making the study
in total without the present confusion of having part of the parks exempted and part
of them not exempted?
Norma Crane, 2604 Amherst, appeared as a member of the Park Board. She requested
that it be left as it is now, and let them study it, and possibly clear up all problems
at one time.
W. L. Stanford, 3037 Cunningham, stated that for a number of years no alcoholic
beverages were allowed in Scotland Park. Over a period of years it became so bad
that he would not permit his children to go to the park. He was raised in that area.
Men would use the restroom right out in the street. He stated that city employees
have been intoxicated at the ball parks. He has seen persons go from the ball park
into the remainder of the park. He would be in favor of banning all alcoholic beverages
in parks.
Carl Hall inquired why Mr. Stanford had not come to the Park Board when they were
making their study; that Leo Cook had appeared. Mr. Stanford stated that he was not
aware of the meeting. Alderman Smith stated that he was not aware of any public
appeal from the Park Board. Alderman Smith also noted that Leo Cook stated that whether
beer was allowed or not, it would not make any difference in their crowds.
Alderman McAlister stated that without even giving them an opportunity to follow
through, we are going to pre-judge. Alderman Bassett noted that he had not said one
thing about them not continuing their report. Mayor Hill stated that he would not want
to not have a law because we are afraid the police cannot enforce it.
Mrs. Crane stated that some of the problems are coming from parks where it is
banned. Their feeling is that they are compounding a situation rather than alleviating it.
Alderman Bassett stated that parks are for everyone. Why should those who are
opposed to these things be subjected to it? Alderwoman Russell was concerned that this
report presented by Mr. Hall was not previously made available to the Council . There
was also no reference to it in the memorandum. It seems a frightening lack of communication.
All they are asking for is a time extension to complete the study which they have started.
679
Item 12c, cont'd.
Alderman Adcock stated that when Bill Hursh came to them with some problems,
they have some responsibility to that. He feels it would help him to make a decision
if there were no confusion as to what parks alcoholic beverages are allowed in. The
City Manager explained that Mr. Hursh's comments were with the baseball diamonds in
Scotland and Hamilton Parks. Alderman Adcock stated that if it could be a problem in
those parks then it could be a problem in all parks.
The substitute motion carried by the following vote:
Ayes : Mayor Hill , Aldermen Bassett, Smith, and Adcock
Nays: Aldermen McAlister, Thomas , and Alderwoman Russell
Later on during the meeting the following motion was made.
Moved by Alderman Bassett that the Municipal Golf Course be excluded from his
original motion pertaining to ban of alcoholic beverages in city parks.
Motion seconded by Alderman Thomas, and carried unanimously.
Item 12d
Discussion was held on a proposal to regulate sale and display of indecent
materials to minors.
City Attorney H. P. Hodge, Jr. explained that he would not be comfortable making
a recommendation today, stating that he has not been able to satisfy himself that it is
not in conflict with a state law which we have on the books.
Moved by Alderman Thomas that we postpone action until October 3 so that the City
Attorney can brief it further.
Motion seconded by Alderman McAlister.
Fred Lowder appeared for Jiffy Food Stores. He suggested that all people involved
in distribution of this material be given adequate opportunity to have input into this
matter. He stated that their policy is not to sell this material to children.
The motion was carried unanimously.
Item 12e
A request for waiver of front and side yard requirements in Fountain Park was
presented. The Planning Board had previously voted to approve the plat. Steve Ondrejas,
Director of Planning, opposed the plat because two lots were requested to be platted
without facing on a public street. There would also be no set back requirements. This
area is located East of Gibson' s Store off Kell Boulevard.
Keith Nelson appeared representing Michael Lam, of Skyline Developers, and two
local businessmen who intend to buy this land. He stated that Parker Square Shopping
Center does not have one ownership. He stated that they have cross easement provisions ,
which are binding all down the line. This is a commercial area, and not residential .
ORDINANCE NO. 3347
AN ORDINANCE WAIVING FRONTAGE AND SIDE YARD REQUIREMENTS ON CERTAIN PROPOSED
LOTS IN FOUNTAIN PARK, A SUBDIVISION OF THE CITY OF WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS.
Moved by Alderman Adcock that Ordinance No. 3347 be passed.
Motion seconded by Alderman McAlister, and carried by the following vote:
Ayes : Mayor Hill , Aldermen McAlister, Bassett, Smith, Thomas, Adcock, and Alderwoman
Russell
Nays: None
Item 13e
Alderman Smith reported on the contract which they have discussed with Olney. They
set a tentative rate of 172 cents per 1 ,000 gallons. The City Staff has been asked to
draw up our costs to provide this service, as well as securing comparative rates from
other cities. A temporary water rate is proposed as set out in Section 2.0 of the contract.
680
Item 13e, cont'd.
Al Myers, Mayor of Olney, stated that they will accept whatever the Council thinks
is fair, and will pay whatever they decide. They would prefer a ten cent rate, but will
accept whatever they decide. Gene Probst, Engineer, stated that the ten cent figure
came from a city staff member, and not from Olney.
Alderwoman Russell inquired concerning Section 7.0, if we should have to ration
water within our own city limits , do we want to continue the contracts? Alderman Smith
stated that he does not see any problem with our water supply. Even with no more rain
we have a seven-year supply at Lake Arrowhead, and three years at Lake Kickapoo. This
does not take evaporation into consideration, however.
Alderman McAlister stated that he has no objection to the contract as it is written
today. He had previously objected to the rate, but does not have any objection to the
temporary rate of 172 cents , provided we come up with a permanent rate prior to January 1 ,
1979. He is concerned with what we charge for both raw and treated water.
v RESOLUTION NO. 2194
RESOLUTION APPROVING CONTRACT FOR SALE OF RAW WATER FROM LAKE KICKAPOO TO
THE CITY OF OLNEY, TEXAS.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN OF THE CITY OF WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS, THAT:
That certain water purchase contract, a copy of which is attached hereto, between
the City of Wichita Falls and the City of Olney, Texas, whereby the City of Wichita
Falls agrees to sell to the City of Olney raw water from Lake Kickapoo, is hereby
approved , and the City Manager is authorized to execute the same for the City of Wichita
Falls.
Moved by Alderman Smith that Resolution No. 2194 be passed.
Motion seconded by Alderman Thomas, and carried by the following vote:
Ayes : Mayor Hill , Aldermen McAlister, Bassett, Smith, Thomas , Adcock, and
Alderwoman Russell
Nays: None
Alderman Adcock left at this time.
The City Manager noted if there would be any inclination on the part of the Council
for a consultant to study water rates, this might be the time to consider it. The
Mayor suggested that the Council look at it later.
Item 14b
Herbert Wagnon and Bill Warren appeared concerning set back requirements on
Speedway. They objected to the construction of an apartment building on Speedway.
They desire the building to be set back 58 feet. Steve Ondrejas, Director of Planning,
stated that he does not have a recommendation because the property can be developed at
either 25 or 58 feet set back.
City Attorney H. P. Hodge, Jr. stated that the Planning Commission is created by
the State. This matter was presented to the Planning Board. The subdivision ordinance
considers the matters of set back lines. When the Planning Board acts within the
guidelines which the Council has furnished them, then he does not believe the Council
has the authority to overrule them in the matter of approving plats. It the Council
desires to have final authority on plats, then they can pass an ordinance to this effect.
They cannot act on individual cases ; it would have to be on each and all of them.
Herbert Wagnon inquired if it were true that the Planning Board would have no
authority to deny construction in this area? The City Attorney stated that they are
the last authority in the approval or disapproval of plats--not what the land will be
used for. 4.
Steve Ondrejas stated that since the Planning Board has approved a plat, the
contractor would be able to get a permit if he has filed the plat.
Joe Turnbow, 4404 Nassau , stated that when he presented the plat with a 15-foot
setback, he went back and they set it back 58 feet. They did not tell him that he
could have a 25-foot setback. He stated that 20 parking spaces will be provided.
Keith Nelson, Attorney for Mr. Turnbow, stated that planning board members stated that
681
Item 14b, cont'd.
25 feet is the standard setback, and they felt they were bound by that. (This
explanation was given in response to Alderman McAlister's question as to what prompted
the Planning Board to change its mind) .
Herbert Wagnon stated that they would not object to a 15-foot setback if Mr.
Turnbow wanted to build a town house. Bill Warren stated that they have been
informed that the developer does not have to develop the site plan which has been
approved. The City Manager confirmed this as long as he meets all setback requirements.
The City Attorney stated that if the plat has been filed for record, it is probably
past any further action of the Planning Board. The Council agreed that they have no
authority to act.
The Board of Aldermen recessed at 1 :10 P.M. , and resumed at 1 :40 P.M.
Item 12f
A request was presented by John Hirschi for waiver of sidewalk requirements in
Ironwood Estates. The Council did not desire to waive them.
Item 12g
M. C. McGee, 2715 Elmwood, appeared as Division Manager of Southwestern Bell
Telephone Company. He requested an extension of their street rental franchise ordinance.
The Public Utilities Commission is expected to hand down a ruling possibly tomorrow.
It is possible that they will permit the telephone company to separate the gross
receipts tax charge to the customers on their bills. He requested an extension of
Ordinance No. 2138 through September 30, 1981 .

Moved by Alderman McAlister that Ordinance No. 3348 be passed.
