Min 09/05/2000 155 Wichita Falls, Texas Memorial Auditorium Building September 5, 2000 Items 1 & 2 The City Council of the City of Wichita Falls, Texas met in regular session on the above date in the Council Room of the Memorial Auditorium Building at 8:30 o'clock a.m. with the following members present: Jerry Lueck - Mayor Dan Shine - Pro Tern Arthur Bea Williams - Councilors James Esther, Jr. - Bill Altman - Johnny Burns - Harold Hawkins - Jim Berzina - City Manager Greg Humbach - City Attorney Lydia Torres - City Clerk Mayor Lueck called the meeting to order. Reverend Alice Hupp, Park Place Christian Church, gave the invocation. Item 3 Mrs. Ginger Close Henry, Fire Equipment Operator, was recognized as Employee of the Month for the month of September. Mayor presented Mrs. Henry with a plaque, dinner for two, and theater passes. Mayor proclaimed September 20, 2000 as "National Undoing Racism Day" in Wichita Falls urging all citizens to join together to reaffirm our commitment to equality and freedom for all people. Mayor recognized Dr. James Hoggard who was designated as Poet Laureate of Texas and who was previously named Professor of the Year. On behalf of the Kiwanis Club, Mr. Elmer Emory presented the City a check, which is designated to be used at Kiwanis Park, in the amount of $6,000 from their concession stand revenue. Item 4 Eric Norris, 3402 Duty Lane, referred to Ordinance 64-2000, which granted a waiver from the water rationing restrictions to Midwestern State University. He felt that the original commitment to the Dallas Cowboys had been met and he was concerned that misuse of watering at Midwestern University continues. He did not think that soccer and football fields should be watered. He suggested that this Ordinance be repealed immediately. He urged that citizens watch every drop of water. Item 5 The Minutes were approved as distributed. 156 Items 6a-8f City Manager gave a briefing on the items listed under the Consent Agenda. Councilor Hawkins requested that Item 6a be moved to the Regular Agenda. Item 6c was also requested to be moved to the Regular Agenda.

Motion seconded by Councilor Burns. Councilor Hawkins asked about offering college credits instead of continuing education credits. Chief Ronnie James informed that there are two separate programs. Currently, there is a college program, Fire Protection Technology Program, that has college hours. Also, some colleges and junior colleges have awarded college hours for recruit training and for EMS training. This contract includes a Fire Protection Advisory Board that is looking into offering higher education credits. Motion carried by the following vote. Ayes: Mayor Lueck, Councilors Williams, Shine, Esther, Altman, Burns, and Hawkins Nays: None Item 6c RESOLUTION NO. 115-2000 RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS, AUTHORIZING A CONFLICT OF INTEREST WAIVER FOR A CITY EMPLOYEE QUALIFYING FOR VARIOUS U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT FUNDED PROGRAMS; 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. 115-2000 be passed. Motion seconded by Councilor Altman. Larry Robinson, 5483 Huntington Lane, stated that when there is a waiver of conflict of interest it raises a red flag for him. He felt that if there was a conflict of interest it should not be allowed. Councilor Hawkins explained that this is a federally funded program and it would not be fair to the employees of the City not to have access to the funds like everyone else. They are not getting a break, anyone and everyone has the right to offer to purchase this property. Mr. Robinson stated that the way it was worded in the agenda was not clear that it was property. It just appears that it is a conflict of interest and that there might be the possibility of inside information. Councilor Hawkins informed that it was not inside information. It is property that has been abandoned and we are reclaiming it, making use of it, and placing it back on the tax roles. This City employee is going to be paying taxes on it. Councilor Altman commented that he also has some concern about this, however, his concern is that the City has employees that make wages which are so low that they qualify for federal assistance. Motion carried by the following vote. Ayes: Mayor Lueck, Councilors Williams, Shine, Esther, Altman, Burns, and Hawkins Nays: None 158 Item 9a ORDINANCE NO. 86-2000 ORDINANCE WAIVING SECTION 27-29 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE; 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. 86-2000 be passed. Motion seconded by Councilor Burns. Roy Horn, 5019 Bonny Drive, stated that he has both a residence and a small business at this location. He requested a sidewalk and escrow waiver on the property located at 5019 Bonny Drive. Those are small acre tracts without curb and gutter or sidewalks and he did not think that sidewalks would ever be developed out there. Councilor Altman explained the City's policy requiring sidewalks and its purpose. He mentioned that this was the only way sidewalks were going to be developed over a period of time. We have created the escrow account where it appears that subsequent development in the future is going to occur. In Mr. Horn's particular instance there are two streets, one that is unplatted, Bonny Drive, and one that is platted but not opened, Deer Creek. Councilor Altman would be in favor of waiving Deer Creek because that is not a developed street although it is platted. He would not waive Bonny Drive because the only way sidewalks are going to develop is to adhere to the City's policy. Mayor was in favor of waiving the whole thing because there are no sidewalks out there. Several Council members expressed their opinion to waive Deer Creek but not Bonny Drive. Mr. Horn stated that it would be a long time for something to develop out there. It was explained that the escrow money would be available to put in a sidewalk when the road is built, and the City would not have to go back and ask for money. Moved by Councilor Altman to amend the proposed ordinance by removing paragraph b) under Section 1, which states "Sidewalks on Bonny Drive adjacent to 5019 Bonny Drive is hereby waived." Motion seconded by Councilor Williams. It was noted that any interest earned on the escrow was not retained by the City; it is used to pay for any increased costs at such future time when sidewalks are built. If there is any escrow money left over after the sidewalks are built that money is returned to the then property owner. Councilor Shine expressed concern that Mr. Horn had lived there for a long time and was now being asked to put in a sidewalk on the part of his business. He could not see asking him to put in a sidewalk where there is no sidewalk and suggested requiring sidewalk only in the area that is being expanded. Councilor Altman felt his proposed amendment was a compromise because it was remaining consistent with the policy by not waiving Bonny Drive but allowing a waiver on Deer Creek since it appears it will not develop. Councilor Burns commented that it is a matter of executing the policy. Either we want to have a policy to develop sidewalks throughout the City or we decide we don't care whether we have sidewalks or not. This is a means of not having the City pay for it. Councilor Altman called for the question on the amendment. Motion carried by the following vote. Ayes: Mayor Lueck, Councilors Williams, Shine, Esther, Altman, Burns, and Hawkins Nays: None Main motion as amended carried by the following vote. 159 Item 9a continued Ayes: Councilors Williams, Esther, Altman, Burns, and Hawkins Nays: Mayor Lueck and Councilor Shine Item 9b ORDINANCE NO. 87-2000 ORDINANCE REFUNDING TAXES PAID BY J.C.

Ayes: Mayor Lueck, Councilors Williams, Shine, Esther, Altman, Burns, and Hawkins Nays: None Item 10e RESOLUTION NO. 122-2000 RESOLUTION TO ACCEPT THE LAKE KEMP TO SECONDARY RESERVOIR DIVERSION PROJECT AND AUTHORIZE FINAL PAYMENT TO BOWLES CONSTRUCTION COMPANY; 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. 122-2000 be passed. Motion seconded by Councilor Altman and carried by the following vote. Ayes: Mayor Lueck, Councilors Williams, Shine, Esther, Altman, Burns, and Hawkins Nays: None City Council recessed at 10:05 a.m. and reconvened at 10:15 a.m. Item 11a Moved by Councilor Altman that bid be awarded to Mote, Inc. in the amount of $3,840.00, to B.W. Strayhorn Company in the amount of$18,219.00, and to Wichita Waste Management in the amount of$3,570.00 for the demolition of various hazardous structures. Motion seconded by Councilor Burns. Leon Cox, 9169 F.M. 369 N., Burkburnett, stated he was the owner of 1027 Harlan Lane. Hubert Cox, 103 W. College, Burkburnett, informed that he was Leon Cox's brother. He stated that his brother was requesting a 90-day extension to take care of the property on Harlan Lane, to either remodel or sell it. Mr. Dave Clark gave a history on this structure and noted that they had been working with this property for about one and a half years without any response from the owner until today. Notices were sent, public hearings were held giving Mr. Cox opportunities to address this issue and he has not until today. The City would prefer to have these structures repaired and that is why an elaborate process was implemented to allow for notices and public hearings. However, if extensions are continued when the process has reached the demolition phase, Staff wonders at what point the process stops. 162 Item 11 a continued Councilor Hawkins suggested that Mr. Cox put up the cost of the demolition, $982.00, to be held in escrow for six months, at which time the property must be habitable and accompanied by a certificate of occupancy. If not, those funds would be used to demolish the structure. Concern was expressed that at some point a mockery would be made of these procedures particularly when people come before the Council without any plans requesting extensions at the time when demolition bids are being awarded. If extensions are allowed at that point, Council is implying to the people that they can ignore these procedures. What is to prevent any landowner from ignoring procedures when property is going to be cleared? Mr. Hubert Cox informed that his brother is a halfway incompetent and if he gets something in the mail he does not know what it is. That is why he is here with his brother today. He said he would be responsible to see that the property is brought up to City standards and he agreed to put up the bid amount, $982.00, in escrow. Council consensus was that the City will stipulate what is required to bring the property up to City standards. It was agreed that in the event this property is sold, these stipulations and conditions would apply to the new property owner, including the same timetables. Moved by Councilor Hawkins to remove 1027 Harlan Lane from the list of hazardous structures to be demolished conditioned upon Mr. Leon Cox putting up escrow in the amount of $982, demolition bid, within two weeks from today; obtaining a building permit within 45 days from today; beginning construction within 90 days from today; and completing construction within 180 days from today. Motion seconded by Councilor Shine and carried by the following vote. Ayes: Mayor Lueck, Councilors Williams, Shine, Esther, Altman, Burns, and Hawkins Nays: None Main motion, with the removal of 1027 Harlan from the demolition list, carried by the following vote. Ayes: Mayor Lueck, Councilors Williams, Shine, Esther, Altman, Burns, and Hawkins Nays: None Item 11 b Moved by Councilor Altman that bid be awarded to Stewart & Stevenson Services, Inc. in the amount of$56,963.00 for a portable diesel generator set. Motion seconded by Councilor Williams and carried by the following vote. Ayes: Mayor Lueck, Councilors Williams, Shine, Esther, Altman, Burns, and Hawkins Nays: None Item 12a City Clerk Lydia Torres reported to the Council on the MPEC Coliseum petition. Ms. Torres informed that she had issued a Certificate of Sufficiency in accordance with the City Charter. This certificate indicated that the City Clerk had qualified the petition and now Council had the option, according to City Charter, to repeal the ordinance and if not repealed it would go to a vote. 163 Item 1215 Moved by Councilor Esther to defer action on consideration of adoption of an Ordinance to authorize the issuance of$7,000,000 of Certificates of Obligation for the Coliseum Project. Motion seconded by Councilor Altman. Councilor Altman asked if Councilor Esther would agree to amend the motion to defer action to September 19, 2000. Councilor Esther agreed to the amendment. Motion carried by the following vote. Ayes: Mayor Lueck, Councilors Williams, Shine, Esther, Altman, Burns, and Hawkins Nays: None Item 12c Discussion of the proposed 2000-2001 Annual City Budget was had. City Manager reviewed the budget adjustments. City Council discussed each individual item and accepted all but one of the adjustments -- the Personnel clerical. City Manager informed that the budget would be placed on the September 19, 2000 Council agenda for action. Councilor Shine urged the rest of the Council to be careful with the City's capital and to see that it is depreciated like Mr. Robert Parker has done with the City's vehicles and equipment. He said that had not been done with City buildings. He felt that the equity should be used for that and suggested that a study be performed on capital improvements to create a good system on maintenance. City Manager informed that Staff would be bringing Council a capital improvement plan before the end of this year. He also noted that depreciation could not be done on buildings. Councilor Hawkins suggested that the Police Department location be given some thought. He did not think the current location was good . Item 12d Mr. George Bonnett reported that the lake levels had reached 38.2%. He informed that the Mayor could issue a decree that the combined levels of the lakes have reached the 40% capacity and therefore authorize the trigger to implement additional surcharges for high use and remove the new landscaping waiver as set forth in Section 2 of Ordinance No. 61-2000. Mayor declared the 40% trigger level to be effective September 5, 2000 until removed as set forth in Ordinance No. 61-2000. Councilor Williams referred to the question of Midwestern State University's waiver on watering and asked for figures on their water usage to show the public that they kept their promise of reducing water consumption by 50%. Mr. Bonnett will generate that information. Councilor Altman stated that if we repeal the Midwestern State University water resolution we have the potential to increase our water use because in trade for Midwestern University being able to water certain fields they cut watering in other parts of the campus. Midwestern State University told us that at the time they would use less water than they would be allotted for the entire campus. It was suggested that a workshop be scheduled between the Water Resources Commission and the Council to review the water situation at a 30% or lower lake level and to discuss a water plan in advance of getting to that point. City Manager will schedule a workshop. 164 Item 12e Councilor Shine informed that the Storm Water District subcommittee had met and are ready to make a recommendation to the Council. He suggested that a workshop be held possibly at the next Council meeting to discuss this issue. Councilor Burns commented that he had received many positive comments on the Ranch Round-up and the use of the MPEC facility for that event. He expressed appreciation to Mike Castle for doing a great job over the years and to all those who worked on this event. Councilor Altman informed that City property taxes had not been increased over the years, except for the police officers pay increase that the citizens voted in last year. The School District and the County have raised taxes, but the City has not; and he credited the City Staff for continuing to provide excellent services to our community at a very efficient cost. He urged citizens to pat these folks on the back. Councilor Esther expressed appreciation to the Parks Staff for repairing the lighting at Lynwood Park in such a prompt and efficient manner. In reference to statements made by Mr. Eric Norris earlier this morning, Councilor Esther suggested that when issues arise that could be addressed to clarify misunderstandings they should be done at that point. Also, he felt that City information should be made available to those citizens without cable or radio. Councilor Hawkins asked for an update on the analysis to determine if the pressure being put on the watering system was contributing to the water line breaks. Mr. David Lehfeldt informed that the initial analysis, although it is not complete, indicates that having high flows through our pipes may be part of the problem. Councilor Hawkins suggested that the City recognize Dr. Louis Rodriguez and his wife for what they have contributed to the City the past 20 plus years. Councilor Williams expressed appreciation to the citizens for their cooperation in adhering to the water regulations during this long hot, dry spell. Councilor Williams informed that she had provided information concerning the use of the water by Midwestern University to Mr. Norris and had discussed it with him. I think the figures will reflect a win-win situation. She expressed appreciation to the Staff for helping the Council do their jobs. Mayor asked for a small table on which to place the paperwork when he makes presentations. Item 12f There were no Staff reports. City Council adjourned at 3:10 p.m. PASSED AND APPROVED this _day of 2000. 1 /JERRY LUECK MAYOR ATTEST: Lydia Torres City Clerk NOTICE OF MEETING Regular Meeting Of The Mayor And City Council Of The City Of Wichita Falls, Texas To Be Held In The City Council Chambers Of The Memorial Auditorium, 1300 Seventh Street, On Tuesday, September 5, 2000, Beginning At 8:30 a.m. City Council: Mayor Gerald Lueck - Councilors Arthur Bea Williams, Dan Shine, James Esther, William Altman, Johnny Burns, and Harold Hawkins 1.
