Item 8a was moved up and considered at this time.
Item 8a
A proposed ordinance was considered amending Section 50-34 of the Code of
Ordinances, reducing the number of positions in the captain, lieutenant, and fire equipment operator
classifications, increasing the number of positions in the fire fighter classification and reducing the
overall number of authorized classified positions in the Fire Department.
Moved by Councilor Hatcher that proposed ordinance be passed.
Motion seconded by Councilor Smith.
Fire Chief Earl Foster provided information on the national standard Two-in and Two-out, and the strategy
the Fire Department and the City have worked to develop to comply with this law., which has been problematic. The
Fire Chief has recently developed a restructuring plan which will allow the Fire Department and the City to meet the
State's Two-in and Two-out mandate. Fire Chief noted that this plan does not increase personnel. He explained his
plan in detail summarizing that this is a solid plan which is used by other fire departments. This plan allows us to
meet State law; it enhances fire fighters safety, an increased level of service for our citizens. This plan also saves a
quarter of a million dollars in our budget.
A lengthy discussion ensued with Council asking questions and expressing their opinions about the plan.
Questions were addressed regarding response time, morale, budget related issues, and Fire Department statistics.
Councilor Ingle said that he would have wanted to see another option; he felt this was a big change; he likes
what the Chief did and what he went through but he just can't get his arms around it. He likes small managed
changes.
245
Item 8a continued
Councilor Ward felt the fire fighters were one of the great assets of the City as well as police. She expressed
concern about promotion opportunities; did not want to limit the assets that we have to be better qualified; she was
not for the way the plan was written. The fire fighters are the ones that keep our City going.
Councilor Smith expressed appreciation to the Fire Chief for all the work put into this plan. We have a
concern about response time and there are implications for citizen and fire fighter safety. He is concerned about
reduction of two units out of service and the slight reduction of manpower. We need more fire fighters. We need to
look at this issue in our budget hearings which start in July; I know we are still in a financial crunch but things are
slowly getting better here in Wichita Falls and Texas. We need to look for a solution to the Two-in Two out in various
ways. It appears the easy option is additional personnel and that is what I would like for us to see.
City Council recessed at 9:55 a.m. and reconvened at 10:10 a.m.
Comments from fire fighters and citizens were heard at this time.
The following persons spoke against the proposed ordinance.
Brad Smith, 1615 Singleton
Joseph Cameron, 1565 Carol Lane
Curtis Martin, 2 White Rock Court
Kelley Crush, 4813 Belair
Bobby Whiteley, 1105 Scott, President Fire Fighters Association
The following persons spoke in favor of the proposed ordinance.
David Brock, 320 Hill Top,
Jim Ginnings, 5201 Taft
Councilor Hatcher commented that no matter what happens here, the firemen have sworn to protect us, as
have the police. Firemen are there to help us and they will be there; everyone loves a fireman. It is not about the
money to me. Our fire fighters are the best trained anywhere; I trust them with my life; they are all qualified to do
their jobs no matter what their title is, whether captain, lieutenant, etc. I am not a union guy but I am a fireman guy. I
trust my City Manager, Fire Chief, Public Works Director, etc. to manage their departments, not their employees; this
is a decision of the department head and City Manager. The insurance rating had this plan in place at the time, and
we would be a more solid 2. 1 commend the Fire Department for being able to do that.
He questioned what all this does to the morale of our other employees. We all have to love the City — Pride
in the Falls and these other employees have to love it too, what about their morale?
Unfortunately, citizens of Wichita Falls do not reward us with another term (speaking to Mr. Jim Ginnings).
Those that are rewarded to another term is by hard work of individuals and groups in the City; they are voters and
vote as a block and make things happen, nothing wrong with that. This plan meets the law; there are 15-18 positives
in this plan that have been laid out; the only negative is that it is weak in that there is a reason they use it as a
negative. I commend the firefighters for the way you stay together as a brotherhood, and I understand why the
Association has to make a stand on this and I don't fault you.
I think this is a good plan and it serves all citizens, everybody in the community, and the firefighters for safety,
except for the Association in their ability to keep the jobs they want to keep and the opportunity for promotion. One
other person it will not serve is me.
Councilor Hatcher called for the question.
City Manager requested to make some comments. Mayor allowed it.
City Manager thanked the firefighters who showed up today; we support you and will continue to support
you; you do a great job and we appreciate all that you do. He thanked the Fire Chief; he did not ask for the proposal
but he commended the Fire Chief for showing the leadership that he should show as a department head, to look at
the department structure and recommend what is in the best interest of not only firefighter's safety but the entire
community. City Manager felt the plan made a lot of sense and thought it would be a slam dunk; if it was any other
department I think it would have been a slam dunk. We would not be having this discussion. It is a solid plan and a
lot of time was put into it. Firefighters' job is to fight fires and rescue victims; Chief's job is to structure and manage
the Fire Department in the best way possible. I ask that you support your Fire Chief like you support you
management because other managers in the organization are watching and I would hate for them to think what good
is it to come up with an efficiency proposal like the Chief's if the employees are going to be against it, it is going to go
down in flames. Regarding morale, I worry about the 1200 employees' morale. We have been struggling with the
budget for three years and four of you have told me not to bring a budget that raises taxes, but today I am hearing
that we should increase the tax rate to add new fire fighters positions. We are getting mixed messages. One reason
this is before you today is the timing; we want to implement this through attrition and there are some promotional
positions that if we do not take action this month, through Civil Service Law, we have to fill; so that may delay this
year's. The savings is not the chief reason for this plan, it is to meet the Two-in and Two-out. You can vote against it
and people can oppose it but if the real opposition is because it eliminates promotional opportunities,just say that.
246
Item 8a continued
The fear mongering that it is going to put lives in jeopardy, reduce response times; it may reduce the time to get a
truck there but it speeds up the opportunity to rescue people and put out fires. He explained the reasons for
removing units; and replacing those units with a Quint is an upgrade. This is going to increase public safety but it is
going to reduce promotional opportunities. When we hire new firefighters they come in with the idea of being a fire
fighter not a battalion chief or fire chiefs; that is not gong to turn people away. We do not have trouble hiring fire
fighters. We appreciate your support and evaluation of this. We are doing what we think is in the best interest for the
community but if you want us to continue this in budget hearings know that there are a lot of issues, budget-wise,
coming up. Something has got to give, reduce benefits, cut pay or restructure in an efficient manner.
Mayor stated that when this came up in April, he looked at it and the decision was made that this would be a
budget issue unfortunately due to Civil Service law we were forced into this meeting today. Two other proposals
were done midyear, the two new captains and battalion chief; I am going to contend that those two proposals and
this one should be a budget issue. Comments were made about other departments and it is not just a Fire
Department issue; if this proposal was being made from any other City department I would feel the same way.
When I got on this council it was clear I was an employee backing individual; that did not translate down to police and
fire, it is everyone in this organization. If this issue came up from other departments, I would have the same
concerns as I do with this. If you look at this from a business standpoint, it is absolutely the right thing to do but when
you look at it from another aspect, a public safety aspect there are arguments both ways. This is the toughest
decision I have had to make in my four years on council. In my estimation it is a budget issue and should be dealt
with as a budget issue during the budget process.

b) Offered her phone and email for contact purposes to citizens.
Councilor Ward:
a) Received a call from Jeff with Riatta Mobile Home Park as to why they were being charged for trash
carts when 95 of the 155 lots are vacant. Mr. Russell Schreiber replied that the solid waste
ordinance requires it. It is impossible to track how many units are being used. Jeff was informed
that they could become a commercial customer and they could save approximately $2,500—
$3,000/month however, they opted to remain a regular customer. Mr. Schreiber does not
recommend changing the Ordinance..
Councilor Smith:
a) City Manager and Mayor met with Southwest Regional Manager of American Eagle Airlines; we
have been cut down to 3 flights a day with lousy times. The meeting was good but not much help is
evident from this meeting. He encouraged the traveling public to make their concerns, comments by
writing/emailing to Dale Morris Southwest Regional Manager for Government Affairs at American
Eagle Airlines, Dallas-Fort Worth.
b) Commended Jessica Langdon for being a the best reporter we have had on the City beat; he
wished her well in her new job in Kansas City.
c) Informed that the asbestos abatement survey provided to Council by Murray Sallis was limited.
Councilor Hatcher:
a) Since this was an extraordinary situation, he thinks property re-appraisals are doable for victims of
the fires off Missile Road. He would like to see the victims utilize insurance proceeds to cover their
taxes. Mr. Jim Dockery will check into this to see what can be done.
b) Commented that he will be characterized by the Fire Fighters Association in a negative manner and
his business will suffer, but who doesn't love a fireman; I love all fire fighters and what they do. As
long as apathy at the polls continues you guys are all safe.
Councilor Ingle:
a) Cannot say he feels sorry for Councilor Hatcher.
b) Would like to have more debate and more input into the Fire Department restructuring.
Commended the Fire Chief for doing a good job.
