Item 8a
A public hearing was held regarding a franchise renewal for taxicab service to Prezo, Inc.
DBA Presidential Transportation.
427
Item 8a continued
Mayor declared the public hearing open.
City Clerk informed that this was a public hearing to receive input regarding a franchise
renewal for Prezo, Inc. dba Presidential Transportation. Under the Code of Ordinances, vehicle for
hire franchise holders are required to renew their franchise license every five years and they are
required to go through the entire process including a public hearing.
Mayor stated that the financial statements submitted by Prezo, Inc. and the other cab
company are very poorly done and are not in a proper form for a financial statement. For example,
Prezo, Inc. shows $237,000 as an asset when indeed it is a loan; it shows vehicles that we cannot
determine if it is at cost or the original costs; and it shows transmission parts with a substantial
figure of about $15,000 when the franchise owner also has a transmission business. This
company seems to be operating effectively and efficiently and I am not going to raise that problem.
I am going to ask the City Attorney to look at the taxicab ordinance and propose an amendment
that requires that financial statements be prepared by a certified public accountant so we can get a
standardized form so we do not have to guess at these things.
Mayor called for additional public comments. There being none, Mayor declared the public
hearing closed.
Item 8b
ORDINANCE NO. 64-2004
ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING A FRANCHISE RENEWAL FOR TAXICAB SERVICE
TO PREZO, INC. DBA PRESIDENTIAL TRANSPORTATION FOR FIVE YEARS;
FINDING AND DETERMINING THAT THE MEETING AT WHICH THIS
ORDINANCE WAS PASSED WAS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AS REQUIRED BY
LAW
Moved by Councilor Williams that Ordinance No. 64 -2004 be passed.
Motion seconded by Councilor Esther.
City Clerk informed that this ordinance would authorize the franchise to be renewed for
Prezo, Inc. dba Presidential Transportation. They currently have 29 permits authorized and of
those 15 are currently permitted.
Councilor Ammons mentioned that Mr. Wade's assumed name certificate showed his
address as Echo Lane but all other documents showed East Scott, what is the reason? Mr. Wade
replied that they will have to change that with the County Clerk. He informed that he has some cars
that are waiting to be inspected following today's Council action.
Mayor asked Mr. Wade how many cabs he had operational now. Mr. Wade replied that he
has 15 and three that are waiting inspection following Council action today.
Mayor mentioned that there was a question that came up months ago about issuing another
cab franchise and there was a discussion about the number of vehicles currently permitted by both
cab companies. You have 29 permits and you are not using all those permits, why do you need the
29 permits? Do you foresee at some point and time using the 29, because the fact that there were
29 permits was an argument against allowing a third cab company to come in, yet I have not seen
you or the other cab company use all your permits. Mr. Wade replied that there were 12 cabs then
and have added 6 since then. The need and necessity is not there because of the military
restrictions and the military has a lot to do with the cab operations of this town. Pretty well 70°1*of
our business is military and when the restrictions are there it does not make economic sense to fill
these permits and pay $500 for liability for a car to just sit there.
Councilor Williams asked if there was a time when he had all his permits filled. Mr. Wade
replied that there was.
Motion carried by the following vote.
Ayes: Mayor Altman, Councilors Williams, Ammons, Esther, Norrie, Gonzalez, and Elmore
Nays: None

Item 9q
ORDINANCE NO. 71-2004
ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS,
WAIVING SECTION 82-62 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES TO PERMIT FOOD
AND DRINK AND ADMISSION TICKET SALES BY THE BOYS & GIRLS CLUB
DURING THEIR YOUTH FOOTBALL LEAGUE ON THE NORTH THREE FIELDS
OF THE FOOTBALL/SOCCER COMPLEX IN LAKE WICHITA PARK SEPTEMBER
11, 2004, THROUGH NOVEMBER 13, 2004; FINDING AND DETERMINING THAT
THE MEETING AT WHICH THIS ORDINANCE WAS PASSED WAS OPEN TO THE
PUBLIC AS REQUIRED BY LAW
Moved by Councilor Williams that Ordinance No. 71-2004 be passed.
Motion seconded by Councilor Elmore.
Councilor Norrie brought up the issue of standardized agreements for all non-profits and
said that the Park Board, as well as himself, think that some consistency needs to be obtained with
all the entities. As an example he mentioned admission fees.
Mr. Jack Murphy recommended that this waiver be approved for this period and that
consideration be given during the off-season to negotiate a more consistent agreement with the
organization. The primary reason is that it is so late in the year and their season of play begins in a
few weeks. Also, they probably already have their budgets set.
Mayor commented that the Boys and Girls Club is treated differently in part because in 1973
they agreed to build the fields, and that raises the question of should they continue to do so. City
Manager agreed that their agreement is different and it goes back to how it originated. They built
these fields and had a substantial investment in that. Mr. Murphy is on the right track to renegotiate
this agreement. The obvious point to ask is how long is a construction project good for? We do
need to look at this agreement when the season is over, but approve this one today.
Ronnie London, Director Boys & Girls Club, 4404 Post Oak Drive, gave background on the
Boys and Girls Club investment. They landscaped the fields, planted trees, built the concession
and restrooms, put in lights and bleachers, as well as continue to make improvements to the fields.
We partnered with the City on the parking lots. In addition we replace the lighting. When you put a
pencil to it what we are asking for is a waiver for concession revenue, which runs about
$5,000/year, and the waiver to charge admission is for two weekend playoffs and this is used to
help defray cost of the awards. The revenue is not for the program itself because we are
continually putting back into our investment. He mentioned that they had built six fields and they
turned three over to Parks for soccer.
Councilor Norrie stated that he is aware of some of the other contracts, and the amount of
work that this Club puts into this far exceeds any other organization's. It is a different entity in itself.
Mayor mentioned that Councilor Gonzalez informed him that he is a member of the Boys
and Girls Club Executive Committee. Our City Charter has a mandatory directive that every council
member shall vote unless there is a legal disqualification, and that is not a legal disqualification that
would cause Councilor Gonzalez not to vote. I have told him he should vote on this issue.
Motion carried by the following vote.
Ayes: Mayor Altman, Councilors Williams, Ammons, Esther, Norrie, Gonzalez, and Elmore
Nays: None

Nays: None
Item 12a
Councilor Esther expressed appreciation to those who work to help save the City
money such as this morning on the bond issuance. He commended all the City Staff who
work to do this. Everyone is doing a fine job.
Councilor Elmore expressed appreciation to the citizens in their response to the
Citizens Police Academy. The Police Department has been very cooperative in their efforts
434
Item 12a continued
to put this Police Academy on, starting October 5. He is still interested in the Neighborhood
Watch Programs and we have several in their formative stages. He asked that anyone
interested in participating or has questions to contact the Police Department or himself. He
expressed appreciation to everyone including the media for their help.
Councilor Williams informed that there would be a City compost giveaway on
Saturday September 18.
Councilor Williams suggested giving recognition to Mia Hamm, the Olympic winner
in soccer, because of her connection to Wichita Falls as a student. She probably changed
the whole view of soccer for girls and certainly increased the excellence for even young
men in this area because of her association with soccer at Notre Dame.
Councilor Williams asked that we pursue some meaningful way to help citizens in
defraying their water bills, and that we do that between now and the first of the year. She
encouraged those who can and will to make extra amounts of contributions to their water
bills in order to help those in a less fortunate circumstance.
Councilor Ammons mentioned a safety issue with the parking on both sides of the
street at the Johnny Carino's Restaurant. Mr. Darron Leiker provided Code information on
this issue and said they would check into possible solutions.
Councilor Gonzalez announced that at Midwestern State University's game on
Saturday at Memorial Stadium, they will recognize those who have served in the military or
law enforcement or anyone involved in 911. He encouraged everyone to support this.
Councilor Gonzalez announced that the Fiestas Patrias parade would be held this
Saturday and invited everyone to attend.
Mayor informed that he had received a letter from TXDOT authorizing the
development of Loop 11 as a non-controlled access facility. They have scheduled the bid
letting date as April 2007, but we will work with TXDOT to try to move that date up.
Item 12b
Mr. Reuben Warren complimented his staff for providing services to the community above
and beyond what is expected from the citizenry. Earlier this year the Texas Department of Health
had mandated that no school age child would be allowed in a Texas school unless all school
vaccinations were current. We promoted that information and provided a mobile van in the
community to accommodate that need. There were still 600 children that did not get their
vaccinations and our staff stepped in, took charge, and took care of those 600 children. They did
about three weeks work in four and a half days by working twelve-hour days, and without
complaints. They continued to do not only the job they always do but also the other services they
provide in addition to accommodating those children too. When the vaccine supply ran low our
Director of Nurses drove 170 miles to get more so we would not run short. I am very proud of my
Staff for the work they did and I commend them.
Item 12c
Mr. Scott Taylor, Public Works Director, gave an update on the Faith Village Stormwater
Drainage Project. A copy of this update is attached hereto as Exhibit A. Mr. Jim Dockery reported
on Storm Water Utility Funds.
Mr. Taylor provided information on the compost giveaway.
Item 14
Mayor announced that the Executive Session would take place after the public comments.
This ends the televised segment.
435
Item 14 continued
Aubrey Edelman, 1300 Travis, stated that he became unemployed and entered hobo status
on June 1. He expressed concern about the ordinance that addresses outdoor camping as well as
outdoor cooking in the City limits and the definition of same. He commented that this covers others
aside from hobos. This technicality in the City ordinance needs to be corrected. Also, there are
from one extreme to the other in dealing with this status. He suggested amending the ordinance to
provide for technicalities of outdoor cooking and give the Police Department the discretion to
determine if a hobo is vagrant or if it is permissible. He informed that the mission allows them
shelter for thirteen days and then for seventeen days they have to "camp under the stars" so they
need to find somewhere to camp for that time period. He suggested giving the Police Department
the discretion in this matter.
Item 13
City Council went into Executive Session at 12:55 p.m. as authorized by Section 551.074
and 551.071 of the Texas Government Code.
City Council reconvened at 2:15 p.m.
Mayor announced that no votes were taken during Executive Session.
Item 14
Mayor referred to Item 6b, Park Board minutes, and asked Mr. Jack Murphy regarding
several statements he made about his Department being cut so that the maintenance of the soccer
and ball fields is affected. Mr. Murphy replied that he did not remember making that statement.
Mayor stated that he was not aware that the Council had cut his budget. Mr. Murphy replied that
he did not read the Park Board minutes, and added that as far as cut backs we are eight positions
less than we were eighteen years ago. Mayor clarified that he was referring to the practice fields.
Mr. Murphy commented that the Park Board minutes were inaccurate and he did not remember
saying that.
Mayor called Mr. Murphy's attention to the Park Board minutes where he referred to the City
budget process. Mayor stated that it was the City Manager's budget and we don't tell him to do
anything with the tax rate. He makes the budget recommendation and we get it. We have never
given him a directive to keep the tax rate the same. What concerns me is that the Park Board has
the idea that there is no use even trying to get anything. I don't want them to have that impression;
if there are some needs I want them to come in here and make a fight for those needs just like we
allow you and all the other department heads the opportunity.
Mr. Murphy stated that it is complicated to give an explanation about the budget process in
just a few words. Mayor said that any time the Park Board or any other boards want to make
suggestions and recommendations we are willing to hear those.
Mr. Murphy informed that the Park Board members have a frustration about not having
Council action on the ten-year plan you adopted. Councilor Williams commented that part of this
comes from the fact that they do not realize that in addition to being a board they are citizens and
they can come to the hearings to give their input. Also, they apparently did not understand about
the above current requests. We do not set the rate and then make the budget apply to the rate.
Mayor said he did not want to leave the impression that we had cut the Parks Department.
The Parks folks have been asked to do more but we have not cut Mr. Murphy's department. City
Manager mentioned that there is a frustration. A couple of the Park Board members if they had
been voting would have put a couple of their projects ahead of the 4B projects and I tried to tell
them that their turn is coming. We had said we were going to do the academy, fire stations
relocation, radio project, and some of those things first then hopefully we could focus more
attention on Parks.
Mayor said that we have good people on the Park Board and we do not want them to be
discouraged because their time is coming when either through the 4B sales tax or the planning
effort we are going to do to improve the quality of life. Councilor Williams pointed out that if we had
implemented heavily the Park Board's recommendations and Faith Village was still flooding, heads
would have rolled.
436
Item 14 continued
Mr. Murphy referred to the Faith Village Project and informed that he had recommended a
McGrath Urban Walkway but by not replacing the bridges that pretty well kills that project and I did
not bring that project up because I thought it had already been discussed. Information related to
this project was discussed with Mr. Scott Taylor providing detailed information.
Councilor Gonzalez asked how far along we were on projects that were on the back burner
when we started 4A and 4B. City Manager replied that the ballot listed several individual projects
like parks and recreation projects, library, relocation of fire stations, radio communications, and
municipal public training facilities. We are well down on the list of specifics and I am not sure that
there is any specific left that we have not addressed.
Councilor Gonzalez commented that from his experience of being on the 413 Board, we
have been doing projects exclusively that were on the back burner that the City wanted to do. It
seems like people in the community are getting the wrong idea about how 4B money is being used
as far as outside projects, other than what the City had in mind. City Manager replied that there
have been two outside projects that we reserved money for- a stormwater project and they gave
Midwestern State University $300,000 to do restoration of the Sikes Lake, and there was a $15,000
Rotary project to finish the shelters, and $100,000 to the Heritage Center. Councilor Williams
added that we had finished the Library. City Manager stated that at the time of the election we
spoke very emphatically that 4A and 46, particularly 413, would be the City's capital improvement
funding projects.
Mayor stated that before the City gets into those things that we would like to have, the
quality of life issues, we have to make sure we meet the basic needs and that is why we raised the
street budget and why 4B has spent most of its time on those enumerated things that were
