FINDING AND DETERMINING THAT THE MEETING AT WHICH THIS
ORDINANCE WAS PASSED WAS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AS REQUIRED BY
LAW
Moved by Councilor Altman that Ordinance No. 61-2000 be passed.
Motion seconded by Councilor Williams.
David Ramsey, 2017 Avondale, expressed concern that all water consumers should
share in the water conservation efforts, however, it appears that the bulk of attention is directed
towards only one category - the residential consumers. It should be shared equally.
Charles Bentley, Water Resources Chair, reviewed the proposed changes. He
mentioned that 75% of the water usage was residential and that is the reason for targeting that
particular consumer.
Bobby Hall, 5234 Deer Creek Rd., expressed concern he was going to be charged more
because he owns a 3-acre tract in comparison to a zero lot. He was informed that he would
only be charged for the amount of water used, and it was suggested that he look into water
wells.
Gene Smith, #36 First Circle, Wichita Falls, felt that the surcharge was too small and we
should not even have it because people are going to take advantage. People will use water
and they will just pay the small surcharge. She suggested people should be fined twice thenbe
put in jail.
Don Rosignol, 4884 Matterhorn, felt this ordinance was giving a windfall to commercial
industry by forcing citizens to take their cars to a car wash. There should be leeway given to
homeowners to wash their cars at home.
Max Yancey, #3 Karen Court, suggested that the surcharge should kick in at 11 CCF
and have a stair step increase penalty. He was informed that this plan already had a stair step
increase.
Moved by Councilor Altman to amend the proposed ordinance by adding Item h to
Section 1 with the following wording: "h. Automatic sprinkler systems shall be set at no more
than 10 minutes per zone and may not be run more than three times per zone per day."
Motion seconded by Councilor Hawkins.
Terry Points, Parks Department, and Benny Butler, City Horticulturist, spoke against this
amendment. They expressed concern that the different issues involving the type of systems
were not specifically addressed. They were concerned that Council did not have accurate
information.
Council noted that the main concern was to conserve water in order to keep people and
businesses alive.
Moved by Councilor Altman to amend the amendment by adding the word "residential"
at the beginning of his proposed amendment.
Motion seconded by Councilor Hawkins.
Councilor Altman withdrew his original amendment and Councilor Hawkins withdrew his
second to that amendment.
The amendment currently on the floor is as follows: " h. Residential automatic
sprinkler systems shall be set at no more than ten minutes per zone and may not be run more
than three times per zone per day."
Councilor Hawkins agreed to this change.
102

and industrial users.

to Section 8: "An offense committed before effective date of this ordinance is governed by
Ordinance 124-99, and Ordinance 124-99 continues in effect solely for that purpose".
Moved by Councilor Hawkins that proposed ordinance be amended by adding the
wording to Section 8 as previously stated by the City Attorney.

Dr. Louis Rodriguez informed that their request was to manage the available water they
have to meet the needs of the University. They would like the flexibility to water other fields in
addition to the Cowboy's practice fields. They are not asking for additional water and will
actually be reducing water usage by August.
A substitute ordinance was presented by Councilor Altman that includes the other fields,
with the following provisos: 1) Staff is going to work with Midwestern State University and
monitor water usage each month; and 2) at such time as the other fields hit the 40% level the
City will re-look at this. From month to month the City may need to reconsider this. Dr.
Rodriguez was in agreement with these two provisos.
Moved by Councilor Altman to substitute the following ordinance for the pending
ordinance.
