Councilor Burns returned to Council Chambers.
City Manager requested that Item 10a(1) be discussed at this point.
Item 10a (1)
City Manager Jim Berzina gave a brief history on this contract and stated that there was
a difference of interpretation of the contract. The contract goes back to 1971. The Lake
Arrowhead Project was completed in the late 1960's and became an impoundment of water that
comes from the Little Wichita River. That Lake also basically hooked onto the same system that
Lake Kickapoo is on. In that time frame a contract was agreed to between City of Wichita Falls
and City of Henrietta.
We have been in discussion with Henrietta officials and have reached a point where we
can make a recommendation to Council. The contract calls for the City of Henrietta to obtain
1459-acre ft. of water from the Lake Arrowhead impoundment and requires the City of Wichita
Falls to release 1459-acre ft. of water. There is where the difference lies. We take the position
that the contract requires us to release 1459-acre ft. of water. Henrietta believes the contract
186
Item 10a(1) continued
allows them to receive 1459-acre ft. of water. The problem is that there is approximately 12-13
miles of dry river channel and any release will soak up 50-70% of that water. Some years we
released more and sometimes less than the 1459-acre ft. We have made six releases, which
adds up to 1459-acre ft.
Staff recommends that the release of water be authorized. When we talked with
Henrietta City Officials we talked about getting this contract more fully interpreted. If the
interpretation results that we were required to release the water, things stay as they are, and if
we find that we were not required to release it, then we would be compensated. He mentioned
that there might be a need for two releases this year.
Mr. Joe Pence, Henrietta City Manager, 413 S. Archer, Henrietta, Texas, gave
background information on their water rights and provided their interpretation of the contract. He
stated that Resolution 454, dated May 8, 1961, served to show the intent and spirit of the
building of Lake Arrowhead and what Wichita Falls pledged to do for Henrietta with their
cooperation in building Lake Arrowhead. Wichita Falls pledged to furnish Henrietta with a
sufficient supply of fresh water to fulfil their water rights. In addition, the City of Wichita Falls
would, during the construction of Lake Arrowhead, construct a 20" pipe at the bottom of the dam
so as to drain any water in said Lake. City of Henrietta feels that they have 1459-acre ft. of
water rights given to them by the State of Texas at their diversion point, not released from Lake
Arrowhead.
This year we have only diverted 550-acre ft. of water from our diversion point. We do not
believe we are responsible for the loss of water from Lake Arrowhead to Henrietta. Henrietta is
not willing to concede to Wichita Falls that we do not have 1459-acre ft. of water rights on the
Little Wichita River and Wichita Falls is required to release 1459-acre ft. at our diversion point.
He suggested that if paragraph three of the contract was unclear that it be amended clarifying
that Henrietta get 1459-acre ft. of water from Lake Arrowhead at its diversion point. Otherwise,
we are going to have to go to arbitration and maybe court. He said if the contract was clarified in
this manner, Henrietta would pledge to be more diligent and more careful with their water
rationing.
Council felt that the contract needed to be interpreted quickly, but was in favor of helping
them with this request.
City Attorney informed that he had met with Henrietta's Attorney, Mr. Jim Rasmussen.
The contract provides for arbitration to resolve a dispute that exists and the City of Henrietta has
sought arbitration to resolve the issue. We will be pursuing that remedy in a timely fashion.
This dispute and any amendments to the contract to resolve future disputes will be resolved
through arbitration.
City Attorney informed that we have a request from the City of Henrietta for two more
releases this calendar year.
Mr. Bonnett reported that we had been releasing 22.3 cu. ft per second for five days
which is a total of 80,000 million gallons of water. We release at 10,000 gallons per minute.
Mr. Pence explained the procedure used in requesting the water release. He requested
that it continue to be done in the same manner.
Moved by Councilor Altman that Staff coordinate the release of water with the City of
Henrietta and that water be released for five days at 22.3 cu. ft. per second in accordance with
coordinated efforts with the City of Henrietta to pump the water as they are able to.
Motion seconded by Councilor Burns and carried by the following vote.
Ayes: Mayor Lueck, Councilors Williams, Shine, Esther, Altman, Burns, and Hawkins
Nays: None
Item 10a
Councilor Esther commended the Staff in representing the City well during the visit by

Item 10a continued
Councilor Hawkins suggested a workshop with the Water Resources Commission for
future planning.
Councilor Williams felt it was a wonderful opportunity being with the members of the
Furstenfeldbruck Council. She suggested that as citizens we need to start practicing the art of
presenting Wichita Falls in a good light. We need to stop harming our City, and bask in what
we have to offer.
Councilor Shine agreed with Councilor Williams. He mentioned utility collections and
asked that we have a better attitude, be more cooperative and citizen friendly with the
customers. He mentioned that the Staff was very cooperative with the German delegation.
Mayor mentioned that Burgomaster Kellerer from Furstenfeldbruck had also been a
farmer and run for office when he was annexed.
Item 10b
Mr. David Clark introduced Mr. Rich Shirey, the new Building and Code Official.
City Manager informed that the City filed an appeal to the FAA on the situation regarding
the lights at the Kickapoo Airpark runway.
Mr. George Bonnett gave an update on the water plans and timetables involved.
City Manager informed that Burgomaster Kellerer had given the City a picture of
downtown Furstenfeldbruck and their city hall. He mentioned that it will be displayed at
Memorial Auditorium.
Captain Earl Foster, Training Officer for the Fire Department, invited everyone to attend
the official opening of the three fire stations on Saturday, October 7. Locations are Station #3 at
3800 Brewster, Station #5 at 506 Beverly, and Station #7 at 2800 City View.
