Item 8
Minutes of the following Board & Commission meetings were received.
Clean Community Commission - March 16, 2000 and March 23, 2000
Item 9
A public hearing was held to allow public comment on the City's water resource
planning activities.
Mayor declared the public hearing open.
Mr. Charles Bently, Chair of Water Resources Commission informed that they had met
with various areas of the community specifically the nursery, swimming pool, and homebuilding
industries. Handling of the water is a very complex issue and needs a lot of consideration.
59
Item 9 continued
The Commission found that there is a need for public education for the citizenry in the area of
water conservation. Homeowners use 75% of the water and that is where the savings can be
accomplished. The Commission is studying the advice of the various industry people as well as
various alternatives in order to come up with the fairest and best way to provide a water
program for all the citizenry and industry of Wichita Falls.
Mr. George Bonnett gave a presentation on the intensive activities that have been going
on for the last two to three months relating to the water situation. He hopes to have the
preliminary report to Council by the next meeting, as well as the contracts for engineering
services. He mentioned that they are still working on some of the alternatives provided by
Corlett, Probst, Boyd, and Kent-Dresser McGee, as well as cost estimates to address some of
the water concerns.
Mr. Bonnett stated that we are currently at 49.4% lake level and that we have 2 to 2 1/2
years of water supply in the two lakes, Arrowhead and Kickapoo. He emphasized that the
Drought Contingency Plan was a careful, studied, well thought out plan that delineated a series
of steps to be taken. The Plan was done when the lakes were full and we are currently working
that Plan.
He delineated the existing system and what we should be striving for in the interim. He
presented various proposals and mentioned that those would handle the water supply needs of
the community for another 50-60 years. He added that finished water needs would be handled
for about 20-30 years.
He provided the following cost estimates.
$5.5 million at the Jasper Water Treatment Plant to comply with new standards but this
does not enhance production;
$25 million at the Cypress Water Treatment Plant to add a new cell, new pump system,
set up two 10 million gallon legs at Cypress, comply with new monitoring regulations, and a
fourth pressure plane;
$18 million at Cypress for one leg Reverse Osmosis;
$15.5 million at Lake Kemp for pipeline;
$18.4 million at River Road for micro-filtration, ultra violet treatment, and pipeline.
Approximate total cost is $82 million. Mr. Bonnett felt that $82 million was not that
much when you look at it in terms of a 20-year bond issue and payoff, and the fact that we are
addressing our water needs for 50-60 years.
Lake Ringgold was mentioned briefly. Mr. Bonnett reported that it is about 15-20%
larger than Lake Arrowhead but it has about a 10-15% less dependable yield. The problem is
that Lake Arrowhead and Lake Kickapoo have already picked off the watershed that contributes
to Lake Ringgold. However, the issue is not filling both lakes before filling Lake Ringgold, but
the dependable yield as well as the staggering cost.
Mr. Bonnett stated that good progress was being made and he encouraged the citizens
to continue conserving water.
Councilor Shine requested a more in-depth report in the near future on the downside of
using Lake Ringold.
Councilor Shine asked about the Cypress add-on and the time frame. An approximate
time frame of two years was mentioned and Mr. Bonnett was directed to proceed.
Mayor requested a comparison of water quality in blending Lake Kemp water compared
to other cities' water quality. Mr. Bonnett said they would do a pilot study on that.
Water rate structure was brought up and Mr. Bonnett informed that a rate analysis
would be in the upcoming budget and they were going to recommend the ascending block rate
as part of the rate study.
Mr. Bentley stated that there are rate incentives to use this penalty method but there are
objections from industry and we need to be very careful how this affects industry. All the cities
we have looked at have used that method.
Councilor Altman commented that the additional funds generated under the rate system
to control water would go into the water fund and could not be used for other things.
60
Item 9 continued
Bobby Tucker, 5007 Navajo Trail, lives outside the City limits, proposed tying into the
irrigation canal where it crosses Turkey Ranch Road. He added that it would flow downhill to
Holiday Creek and Lake Wichita and could be pumped to the Cypress Water Treatment Plant.
He expressed concern that non-city residents were not allowed to serve on the Water
Resources Commission. He stated that when Lake Arrowhead and Lake Kickapoo were
formed all the people in the surrounding areas were included in that process but now they are
excluded.
Curtis Smith, 4100 Kemp, congratulated Mr. Bonnett and the Water Resources
Commission for the excellent report. He looks forward to the options that were presented
today. He added that it is very clear that we are not in dire straits as may have been presented
at one time. He expressed concern about the water rates when it directly affects his business
and industrial people. He asked Council that if they consider an accelerated water rate that
they consider installing it only when the water is at its most severe problems. If we have a 2 1/2
year water supply, adopting an accelerated water rate would be a knee jerk reaction.
It was noted that Council would take every possible consideration if a rate system were
implemented, however, all the alternatives must be examined.
Mayor called for additional public comments. There being none, the Mayor declared the
public hearing closed.
City Council recessed at 10:31 a.m. and reconvened at 10:55 a.m.
Item 10a
A proposed ordinance was presented authorizing a refund of the penalties and interest
for delinquent taxes previously tendered to the City of Wichita Falls by Kell West Regional
Hospital.
Moved by Councilor Esther that proposed ordinance be passed.
Motion seconded by Councilor Burns.
Mr. Jim Dockery informed that the property tax bill had been mailed to the address
provided to the Appraisal District by the property owner. The Appraisal District was not notified
of the address change until March 10, 2000 and as a result the penalties and interest accrued.
The Property Tax Code outlines that if there is an error or omission on the part of the taxing
entity or appraisal district the governing body may waive those penalties and interest in that
case. It also states that the property owner is not entitled to relief instances when an incorrect
address is provided to the appraisal district.
Mr. Dockery stated that in reviewing the information provided by the Tax Assessor's
Office they could determine that there was not any act or error on their part. He added that it
would be setting a precedent to consider a waiver in this case. In the past, penalties and
interest have never been waived where there was not an error on the part of the taxing entity.
Council noted that the Property Tax Code prohibits a waiver in this case.
Motion failed by the following vote.
Ayes: None
Nays: Mayor Yeager, Councilors Williams, Shine, Esther, Altman, Burns, and Beaty

City Attorney informed that the proposed ordinance would raise the residential and
commercial gas rates by 9% within the City limits effective April 4, 2000. This would result in

for a 1/2 of 1% increase twelve months from today. He noted that this is a fair settlement for

Council expressed the following concerns regarding this agreement: 1) No time limit
was set on the amount of air time; 2) Impact regarding City staff time and involvement when the
63
Item 11 b continued
City expands the use of Channel 11; 3)In taking discretionary action, such as on the City's air-
time, there is no clear delineation as to who makes those decisions. A particular person needs
to be designated to make those decisions. The agreement needs to be written with more clarity

Item 11 f
RESOLUTION NO. 47-2000
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS,
AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO REQUEST BIDS FOR THE MULTI-
PURPOSE EVENTS CENTER COLISEUM; FINDING AND DETERMINING THAT THE
MEETING AT WHICH THIS RESOLUTION WAS PASSED WAS OPEN TO THE
PUBLIC AS REQUIRED BY LAW
Moved by Councilor Burns that Resolution No. 47-2000 be passed.
Motion seconded by Councilor Williams.
City Attorney suggested that this resolution be amended by removing the City Manager
from the resolution and substituting MPEC Board of Trustees. He noted that in a 1992
agreement between the City and the County, the MPEC Board of Trustees was given the
authority to seek bids for the construction of the MPEC facilities which at that time contemplated
three structures. In accordance with that agreement it would be appropriate to substitute the
MPEC Board of Trustees as the authority to request bids for the Multi-Purpose Events Center
Coliseum instead of the City Manager.
Moved by Councilor Altman that the proposed resolution be amended to reflect MPEC
Board of Trustees as the authority to request bids for the Multi-Purpose Events Center
Coliseum instead of the City Manager.
Motion seconded by Councilor Burns and carried by the following vote.
Ayes: Mayor Yeager, Councilors Williams, Shine, Esther, Altman, Burns, and Beaty
Nays: None
Mayor stated that this action in no way obligates theCity to any funding of the coliseum;
this is simply asking the MPEC Board to solicit bids and is in no way obligating the City at this
time to funding that project. Hopefully those bids will come back within a cost that the City by
itself, without any help from the County, would be in a position to fund and underwrite the
construction of this building.
Council concurred that this action does not obligate the City in any way to fund the
project nor does it state that the City will fund it alone. However, in order to determine what
steps to take, a figure needs to be obtained.
The original motion as amended carried by the following vote.
Ayes: Mayor Yeager, Councilors Williams, Shine, Esther, Altman, Burns, and Beaty
Nays: None
Item 12a
RESOLUTION NO. 48-2000
RESOLUTION ACCEPTING A PROPOSAL FROM BANK ONE, TEXAS, NA FOR THE
CITY'S BANK DEPOSITORY SERVICES FOR A PERIOD OF FIVE YEARS; FINDING
AND DETERMINING THAT THE MEETING AT WHICH THIS RESOLUTION WAS
PASSED WAS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AS REQUIRED BY LAW

Item 13a
Councilor Esther expressed appreciation to the Police Department for their
professionalism in handling the shooting incident in the Lynwood area. He encouraged parents
and citizens to continue supporting events in the parks.
Councilor Shine commended the Fire Department's First Responder crew for their quick
response and excellent job in helping a customer who was in distress in his place of business.
Councilor Altman encouraged City employees to take advantage of the CPR course
provided by the Fire Department. Councilor Altman thanked Dave Clark and other staff
members who respond to citizens' inquiries.
Councilor Altman asked for a briefing on the City's alley maintenance policy. Mr.
Bonnett informed that $300,000 is funded every year for alley rehabilitation for those alleys that
receive refuse service; other alleys are paved under an ordinance called the "Alley Paving
Ordinance"which is funded on payment by the residents.
Mayor mentioned that the Board and Commission Member Orientation Handbooks are
ready. Mayor reminded everyone to return their census forms. She mentioned the open house
at the Health Department April 5 in recognition of Public Health Week. Mayor expressed
appreciation to Mr. Bonnett for his presentation this morning on the water issue.
Item 13b
Mr. Clark introduced the new Code Enforcement Administrator, Mr. Jon Krueger.
Mr. Clark introduced Mr. Jerry Gamble, Chief Plumbing Inspector, who has been
overseeing Building Inspection temporarily.
Mrs. Stricklin announced that the "Falls Focus" newsletter would go out to the City of
Wichita Falls' citizens who are water customers. Copies will also be placed in convenient
locations throughout the City. City Manager informed that this would be a biennial publication
to keep citizens aware of what is happening in the City.
Mr. Bonnett reported on the automated refuse collection.
