Item 9e
RESOLUTION NO. 41-2003
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WICHITA FALLS,
TEXAS, AUTHORIZING AN AMENDMENT TO THE SKYBOX CONSTRUCTION
AGREEMENT AS PART OF THE COLISEUM CONSTRUCTION PROJECT;
FINDING AND DETERMINING THAT THE MEETING AT WHICH THIS
RESOLUTION WAS PASSED WAS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AS REQUIRED BY
LAW
Moved by Councilor Ammons that Resolution No. 41-2003 be passed.
Motion seconded by Councilor Burns.
Mr. Jim Dockery informed that there were two change orders - one for the elevator
relocation project in the amount of$75,000 and another for the food service staging area change
order in the amount of$25,232. He noted that since the preparation of this resolution the $25,000
could be funded from the MPEC General Construction Project available funds. If this is agreeable,
the amount of$25,232 could be removed and the total figure for this resolution would be
$1,059,952.27 as opposed to the $1,085,184.27.
Following discussion regarding the elevator and food service staging area change orders,
the following motion was made.
Moved by Councilor Norrie that this item be tabled for additional information regarding the
two change orders.
Motion seconded by Councilor Ammons.
Mayor asked for a breakdown of figures on the food service staging area change order.
Frank Yeager, 2111 Avondale, provided information on the original contract and on the
relocation of the elevator, noting that there were some code and structural issues that resulted in
the elevator change order. Mayor commented that the changes had to be approved by the City
Council and this is something retroactive. He wants to look at the financial figures to satisfy
himself.
Councilor Norrie stated that he was satisfied with Mr. Yeager's explanation so he withdrew
his motion to table. Councilor Ammons withdrew her second.
Mayor stated that he does not want the Council's approval, if this resolution is approved
today, to be reflective of approval of the way the contract was originally negotiated with regard to
the price and profits involved. That will be looked at in the event the Coliseum Board or the City
decides to build additional suites. That will be negotiated as set out in the contract in good faith but
without regard to any pricing or profit structure that was presented in this contract.
Moved by Councilor Burns that the proposed resolution be amended as follows:
In the second whereas paragraph, strike the following words—"and include a food
service area". That sentence would read, "Whereas, during the construction of the skyboxes, there
was a need to modify the design of the facility to change the location of the elevator."
In the third whereas paragraph, change the word "these" to "this" and the word
"changes" to "change". That sentence would read "Whereas, this change resulted in an increase to
the total construction cost for the skyboxes.
In Section 1, second paragraph, change the figure to "One Million Fifty-Nine
Thousand, Nine Hundred Fifty-Two and 27/100 Dollars ($1,059,952.27).
Motion seconded by Councilor Hawkins and carried by the following vote.
Ayes: Mayor Altman, Councilors Williams, Ammons, Esther, Norrie, Burns, and Hawkins
Nays: None

Item 9e continued
Main motion as amended carried by the following vote.
Ayes: Mayor Altman, Councilors Williams, Ammons, Esther, Norrie, Burns, and Hawkins
Nays: None
Item 10a
Councilor Esther mentioned the vandalism that had taken place in the Lynwood Addition
and expressed appreciation to the Police Department for the action they took. He commended
them for the good job they did.
Councilor Esther commented that it was a pleasure working with the Council. We will
continue to work for the betterment of the community. He thanked the public for their vote of
confidence in his re-election. He also thanked the staff for their help because he felt he could not
have done anything without their help.
Councilor Hawkins wanted to know when the ground breaking was going to take place at
the Country Club Apartments. Mr. Clark replied that there are no plans, but a building permit has
been issued.
Councilor Hawkins asked that the El Rey Trailer Park be checked for Code violations.
Councilor Hawkins reported that he had received a complaint about graffiti in a park at either City
View or Sunset Terrace and he asked Mr. Murphy to check into that. Councilor Hawkins
mentioned that the children from Kirby Jr. High School have to walk on the streets or along a
muddy bank when it rains. The City Manager will look into this and get back with him. Councilor
Hawkins asked if Seabury Lake was going to be filled in. City Manager replied that he was not
aware of any plans. Councilor Hawkins asked about the expansion of garden leases. City
Manager informed that the City is pursuing garden leases.
Councilor Esther asked that staff look into the sprinkler system in Lynwood Park because it
has been running for some time.
Councilor Williams asked about the opening of the Fire Drill Field. Chief Lindsey said that
they would be giving the Council a tour soon.
Councilor Williams mentioned that she had been attending meetings in her community
concerning an ongoing drug problem that escalated into a shooting. There is a business that has
an absentee owner and homes that are being rented that seem to be the problem. We are going to
contact the property owners to invite them to a meeting, and we also want to have someone from
the Police Department that has decision-making authority, like the Chief, as well as someone from
Code Enforcement and the Health Unit. The meeting will be April 10 from 1 p.m.-3p.m. at the East
Side Boys & Girls Club, 604 Sullivan. She invited the Mayor, Councilors, City Manager, and anyone
else that is involved or interested in helping with this situation.
Councilor Williams said she had received a complaint about Plum Lake needing to be
cleaned up. She asked that Staff look into this.
Councilor Williams stated that she was grateful she did not have an opponent. I feel that
people think we are doing okay, but I do not take it as a sign that I am supposed to do whatever I
want without regard to what the citizens want. I will continue to represent the citizens of Wichita
Falls and I am appreciative of the fact that I do get this opportunity.
Councilor Ammons reported that they also had a drug situation in their neighborhood. She
asked Chief Coughlin to report on the ramifications to landlords who have tenants that are involved
in illegal activities. Chief Coughlin gave a brief report.
Councilor Ammons mentioned the requirement to abate asbestos prior to demolishing
structures and asked how this can be remedied in order to make the downtown area better. Mr.
Clark replied that it was State law. Councilor Williams commented that if the property owners don't
do it, then the City would have to do it and we do not have the money to constantly do this.
Councilor Ammons said that they choose not to do it and then it becomes an eyesore. She
suggested starting an initiative by contacting our representatives in Austin.
59
Item 10a continued
Mayor noted that it was important that asbestos be abated properly because of the people
who have died from Mesothelioma from inhaling asbestos fibers. It has to be taken care of
because it is a problem.
Councilor Ammons felt that we should be able to demolish and abate at the same time. Mr.
Clark commented that it depends on the nature of the asbestos as to how it is accomplished.
Councilor Ammons expressed condolences to Firefighter Jim Davis who lost his wife to
cancer. Remember him and his family in your prayers.
Councilor Burns informed that he had received valid complaints from citizens and he has
spoken with the appropriate staff and those concerns are being taken care of. He complimented
the staff for the great job they are doing and offered advice on how to be more helpful. He
suggested that when staff receives calls that they return the calls even if it is to inform that they are
researching the citizen's concern.
Councilor Norrie informed that the hockey playoffs begin on Wednesday night at the
Coliseum and mentioned the status of the Rustlers going into the playoffs.
Councilor Norrie reported that the structure at 2215 Piedmont is now owned by Smith
Walker, and it will hopefully be repaired.
Mayor commented that the viewers might have noted that the meeting went rather fast this
morning. There was not a lot of discussion and what that reflects is that a lot of study and
investigation by Council members before they come to this meeting. In addition, staff is receiving
more inquiries on agenda items by the Council before the meeting. This reflects well on the
Council.
Mayor reported on the emergency preparedness training.
Mayor asked City Attorney to look into the ability for either a city or non-profit to use civil
nuisance laws to try to abate some of the property abuses where illegal activities are going on.
Councilor Hawkins wanted to know the purpose of the water line being put in at S.A.F.B.
from Hooper Street water tower to the Base water system. Will this alleviate some of the
breakages and is there reassurance that those two systems will not get crossed? Jeff Hogan, City
Engineer, replied that they are on two separate pressure planes, and measures have been taken
by SAFB to insure that those planes do not get mixed. SAFB is funding the line extension and the
motivation is to have multiple water sources. This will relieve some of the strain at the Jasper
Water Treatment Plant. Mr. Taylor will brief you further.
Item 10b
Mr. Darron Leiker reported that a ribbon cutting ceremony would be held near the Sheppard
Air Force Base main gate on April 3 at 9:30 a.m. to dedicate the new bus shelter.
Mr. Leiker informed that American Airlines reached an agreement with their three labor
unions on wage concessions, which they say will allow them not to have to file bankruptcy. He will
monitor the situation and keep Council posted.
The City Council adjourned at 11:10 a.m.
