Commission on Human Needs — May 19, 2003 b. Library Advisory Board — May 27, 2003 c. Wichita Falls Economic Development Corporation — May 27, 2003 Item 7a A public hearing was held on the revised Section 8 Rental Assistance program Administrative Plan and the Family Self-Sufficiency Action Plan. Mayor declared the public hearing open. Mr. Matt Benoit, Assistant City Manager, presented the proposed changes to the Administrative Plan, as well as outlining the process involved in the Rental Assistance Program. The proposed changes are as follows: a.) Rent Reasonableness Process, b.) Adherence to Housing Quality Standards, c.) Inclusion of Burkburnett and Iowa Park in the service area, d.) Removal of payment references, e.) Reduction of the suspension period after an indictment from five to three years. Councilor Norrie asked why the suspension period was reduced from five years to three. Mr. Benoit informed that it was a better indication that we see consecutive offenses, which would expire under a period of three years as opposed to waiting for those offenses to expire in five years. Councilor Norrie stated that if there were a waiting list of persons without indictment background he would be opposed to reducing the suspension period. Mayor expressed a similar concern. Mrs. Pam Ibarra, Housing Administrator, explained that families with one member who has been indicted would be affected because the entire family would be denied. They have to wait for five years now and we are suggesting that it be lowered to three years. Councilor Norrie felt that they needed to be more specific with that type of situation. Mrs. Ibarra informed that they only go back three years instead of five years, which puts them into a waiting list. Now we have to wait five years after indictments. Councilor Hawkins explained that if in the past three years a person has three charges against them they are not eligible. Councilor Williams wanted to know how soon a family is serviced after an indictment is dropped. Mrs. Ibarra informed that they are notified, under the Administrative Policy, when an indictment is dropped and we assist them immediately. Councilor Esther wanted to know if a person who was indicted was taken out of the program. Mrs. Ibarra replied in the affirmative, adding that when they come back on, their past history and criminal background is reviewed for the past three years. 113 Item 7a continued Mayor questioned why they wanted to add more people, especially if they have a criminal violent history, to a waiting list that we cannot satisfy. Councilor Norrie wanted to know the motivation for this proposed change. Mr. Benoit explained that aside from the violent criminal offenses there is a pattern of criminal activities that could include driving while intoxicated, public intoxication, and other lesser offenses, which we consider well out of the three to five year threshold. We talk to them and if they are receiving counseling and the criminal pattern is stopped, we feel five years is rather excessive for public intoxication if they have their life together and they have a change in lifestyle. Mayor wanted to know why they wanted to give an opportunity to those people when you have a waiting list. Mrs. Ibarra replied that when those people reapply they are going to the bottom of the list. The others on the waiting list are going to be assisted before we get back to that individual because the waiting list is done by date and time. We have to give them some chance to get back on the program. They are not violent criminals; they just made mistakes for a few years in a row like public intoxication, and they could have gotten help. Councilor Norrie felt that they needed to be accountable for their actions. Mayor clarified that what Mrs. Ibarra was saying was that we just arbitrarily feel that five years is too much and that it should be three years because we think three years is long enough to clean up their life but there is no motivating factor to cause this. Mr. Benoit said he would not disagree with that but would seven years be enough, is five or three years too much? Councilor Esther asked what the length of time was to be on the list to get on the program. Mrs. Ibarra replied that it was about six to eight months. Councilor Hawkins stated that the check of their criminal history for any application is three years, and asked who had established that criteria. Mrs. Ibarra replied that she thought it was a H.U.D. requirement but she would have to check into that. Mayor asked how that comes into play with the current five-year rule. Mr. Benoit clarified that the five years was the length of suspension. Mayor asked if they had a five-year rule for initial applicants and if our guidelines say five or three years. Mrs. Ibarra replied that it is three years. Mr. Benoit added that Council adopted the three- year window in the last review of the Administrative Plan. Councilor Williams asked if there was a nominal amount of houses. You will always have a list because people refuse to live in certain areas of the city. I am not totally satisfied on how you get on the list of continued criminal history. I have no problems with the three years I just want you to check everything that goes on. Those people on the list are not going to ask for housing on Cypress but will ask for housing on Wichita Street. We are skirting around the issue of where these people are going to live and why they can only live in certain places. The landlord also has to buy into this deal. If you have not been denied housing three years is not a long time but if you have six months is a long time. Mr. Benoit informed that another issue about the waiting list is that our budget request from HUD is for 989 families. In a perfect world if we had an unlimited number of willing land owners who would rent there is still a threshold at which we can only place so many people because we have subsidy money to place that many people. We are always going to have a waiting list even if it was a waiting list of property owners that would be willing to rent to people. Mayor asked if owners are informed that prospective renters have a list of indictments or are they simply told that these people qualify. Mrs. Ibarra replied that the owners are only told that they qualify. Mayor commented that by reducing the suspension period from five to three years you are in effect putting people out in the market two years earlier to these property owners who do not have any idea that these people have a record any way. Mr. Benoit stated that they could go through the same process we do of asking these people to provide their criminal record. Mrs. Ibarra replied that the whole process is that if they are repeat offenders they are going to have it on their record and the pattern will continue and in that three-year span they can be denied again, however, there are some that will slip through the cracks. Mayor called for additional public comments. There being none, Mayor declared the public hearing closed. 114 Item 7b A public hearing was held to consider the revocation of the Taxicab franchise of All American Cab Company. Mayor declared the public hearing open. City Manager informed that he had called the administrative meeting as required by the City Ordinance with representatives from All American Cab. The key question that had come up was whether or not the Cab Company had valid insurance and was that company licensed to do business in the Texas. At that hearing I satisfied myself that the proper insurance was in place. It appears that the company that had previously insured All American had never been qualified or lost their standing to do business in the Texas; at any rate it is not authorized to do business in Texas. The replacement policy that was brought in has been verified by the City Attorney and City Staff and appears to be accurately in order, and the question about the insurance has been satisfied. There is a related item later on the agenda, Item 8a, which deals with allowing the Council to look at whether you will allow the franchise to continue. Our work has been completed to the point that it is no longer a problem. Mr. Claudio Ramirez, Jr., 2410 McNiel, All American Cab Company Manager, informed that they were not aware of the situation and expressed appreciation to the Staff and Council for working with them. He added that it is all straightened out now. Mayor commented that All American was a victim in this process because both local cab companies were under the same insurance company that is not authorized to do business in Texas, through two different agents. He stated that like we have some sham health insurance companies, we have an insurance company that was marketing a significantly lower insurance rate to agents and you were dealing with an agent not dealing directly with the company. Perhaps the agent should have done due diligence and checked to see that the insurance company was licensed to do business in Texas. There was no intent on your part except you were quoted a lower premium and you had no reason to suspect at the time that it was not a proper insurance company. We appreciate the fact that you went out and got the replacement policy. We appreciate the fact that being in a business that serves the public, our interest was just to see that the public was protected. I think you were somewhat of a victim in this process. Councilor Norrie asked if this situation had affected any claims? Mr. Ramirez replied that it did not; they are a good insurance company they are just not licensed to do business in Texas. Mayor called for additional public comments. There being none, Mayor declared the public hearing closed. Item 8a This item relating to the All American Cab Company taxicab franchise was removed from the agenda because the issue had been resolved.

Also, there was a concern about the clarity of what was being expressed today and what the ordinance reflects. Council felt that Staff needed to review and bring this back to Council in two weeks, as well as provide Council with current rules and guidelines of the Section 8 Rental Assistance Program. Moved by Councilor Burns to table this item. Motion seconded by Councilor Williams and carried by the following vote. Ayes: Mayor Altman, Councilors Williams, Esther, Norrie, Burns, and Hawkins Nays: None Item 9b RESOLUTION NO. 73-2003 RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS, AWARDING BID AND CONTRACT FOR THE REMODELING OF FIRE STATION No. 2 PROJECT (CDBG) CWF 03-204-11; FINDING AND DETERMINING THAT THE MEETING AT WHICH THIS RESOLUTION WAS PASSED WAS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AS REQUIRED BY LAW Moved by Councilor Williams that Resolution No. 73-2003 be passed. Motion seconded by Councilor Hawkins and carried by the following vote. Ayes: Mayor Altman, Councilors Williams, Esther, Norrie, Burns, and Hawkins Nays: None 117 Item 9c RESOLUTION NO. 74-2003 RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS, AWARDING BID AND CONTRACT FOR FAITH VILLAGE DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, PHASE I, CWF 03-552-03; FINDING AND DETERMINING THAT THE MEETING AT WHICH THIS RESOLUTION WAS PASSED WAS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AS REQUIRED BY LAW Moved by Councilor Norrie that Resolution No. 74-2003 be passed. Motion seconded by Councilor Burns. Mayor asked that the Council Finance Committee, comprised of himself, Councilors Esther and Burns, meet with the Staff with an idea of looking into the feasibility of issuing some tax anticipation notes for the storm drainage fund. This is based on a combination of two things worth looking at— 1) We are in a period of time where we seem to be getting excellent prices and 2) we are in an exceptionally low interest rate atmosphere. Thirdly, both the human misery and property values could be affected significantly if property values go up. That enhances the revenue to citizens but also creates a much safer atmosphere for those citizens who are affected. It may or may not be limited just to the Faith Village Project it may go a little further down. We are not going to be able to finance all fifty projects and it may be that we come back with a recommendation that none of this is feasible but we have the interest rates and economy in such a position that it behooves us to take a look at whether we might want to issue some type of debt instrument funded by future income of that fund while we have these factors now which might not exist three or four years from now. Councilors Burns and Norrie agreed with this idea to attempt to expedite this project. Mr. Dave Clark commented that one of the changes that Council adopted five or six years ago was to adopt an ordinance that required a 0% runoff, which means that you cannot have more runoff from the developed site than it had before that site was developed. That means that situations like this will not happen as much in the future because it will not be affected by development up stream. Mayor agreed and stated that one of the reasons we developed it was to prevent future problems from occurring, now we just need to see if we can expedite the handling of some of these already problematic areas. It is an area that we need to look at because we have a highly unusual economic situation that makes it worthwhile to look at. Mr. Scott Taylor reviewed Phase I and II of the Faith Village Drainage Project, noting that Phase I is 100% funded. Councilor Hawkins suggested retaining a consultant since this bid had come in lower than we estimated. Mr. Taylor stated that it could be looked at for next year's budget. Councilors Norrie and Burns suggested that the Council Finance Committee look into that. Motion carried by the following vote. Ayes: Mayor Altman, Councilors Williams, Esther, Norrie, Burns, and Hawkins Nays: None City Council recessed at 10:23 a.m. and reconvened at 10:50 a.m. Item 9d RESOLUTION NO. 75-2003 RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS, AUTHORIZING AWARD OF BID FOR THE PURCHASE OF A 20' WINDROW-COMPOSTING MACHINE TO SCARAB MANUFACTURING IN THE AMOUNT OF $355,000.00; FINDING AND DETERMINING THAT THE MEETING AT WHICH THIS RESOLUTION WAS PASSED WAS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AS REQUIRED BY LAW 118 Item 9d continued Moved by Councilor Williams that Resolution No. 75-2003 be passed. Motion seconded by Councilor Esther and carried by the following vote. Ayes: Mayor Altman, Councilors Williams, Esther, Norrie, Burns, and Hawkins Nays: None Item 9e RESOLUTION NO. 76-2003 RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS, AWARDING BID AND CONTRACT FOR THE 2003 STREET REHABILITATION PROJECT, CWF 03-100-12; FINDING AND DETERMINING THAT THE MEETING AT WHICH THIS RESOLUTION WAS PASSED WAS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AS REQUIRED BY LAW Moved by Councilor Hawkins that Resolution No. 76-2003 be passed.

Ayes: Mayor Altman, Councilors Williams, Esther, Norrie, Burns, and Hawkins Nays: None Item 9f RESOLUTION NO. 77-2003 RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS, AWARDING BID AND CONTRACT FOR THE MEMBRANE FACILITY AT CYPRESS WATER TREATMENT PLANT PROJECT (CWF 03-544-16); FINDING AND DETERMINING THAT THE MEETING AT WHICH THIS RESOLUTION WAS PASSED WAS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AS REQUIRED BY LAW Moved by Councilor Williams that Resolution No. 77-2003 be passed Motion seconded by Councilor Burns. Mayor requested that Mr. Taylor provide Council a revised Gant Chart with the various stages of this project and that he give a presentation at a future Council meeting. Mr. Kerry Maroney, Consultant on the Cypress Water Treatment Project provided information on the bids and the estimate. Motion carried by the following vote. Ayes: Mayor Altman, Councilors Williams, Esther, Norrie, Burns, and Hawkins Nays: None Item 10a Mayor informed that Councilor Ammons was not able to be in attendance today because she had some personal business to which she had to attend. Councilor Esther thanked Chief Coughlin for the great work he and his staff are doing. 119 Item 10a continued Councilor Hawkins wanted to know who was responsible for turning off the falls. Mr. Scott Taylor informed that they take a sample for turbidity purposes and turn the pumps off. We have a process in place depending on the turbidity. Councilor Williams stated that there is no uniform form to jot down things that we see that require some immediate attention and she asked Staff to create some type of form for uniformity in the reporting process. Councilor Norrie informed that he had received three compliments on Mr. Matt Benoit for the waye had handled certain issues. Mayor asked that Staff check the traffic lights on Broad Street under the overpass; they are not in sync. Mayor asked that Staff speak with TXDOT regarding the need for signs on the Kell exit by the United Street Market. That area is a potential for accidents and a risk element. Mr. Darron Leiker informed that TXDOT has been made aware of that situation, adding that the service road traffic is crossing the double white lines. Mayor suggested that those be made double yellow lines and that warrants be issued to bring it to those drivers' attention. There are also no stop signs at the United Street Market exit areas. Mr. Leiker will look into these concerns. Councilor Williams asked that the lights at Kemp and Avenue H also be checked. Item 10b There were no staff reports. Mayor announced that this concluded the televised portion of this meeting. Item 11 Marilyn Scott, 2404 Polk, provided written information to Council regarding her complaint against the Police Department. Her complaint was against the Police Department and their alleged association with nursing homes. Her ex-husband, James Scott, is in the Denver Nursing home and she has not been allowed to see him for two years. Mayor informed her that what she was talking about was a court matter and the Council has no jurisdiction over nursing homes. The Council will read the materials that she provided them. Mayor announced that the Council would enter into Executive Session as authorized by Section 551.074 of the Texas Government Code. Item 12 City Council went into Executive Session at 11:38 a.m. as authorized by Section 551.074 of the Texas Government Code. City Council reconvened at 12:10 p. m.
