Item 6a
A public hearing was held to approve an amendment to the proposed use of Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds in a previously approved Consolidated Plan.
Mayor declared the public hearing open.
Mr. Dave Clark explained that the proposed amendments to the One Year Action Plan of
the Consolidated Plan would provide additional funds for six projects. He noted that the funding
would come from savings in various FY 2003-2004 projects.
Councilor Esther asked if the Be Be Lane sewer issue had been resolved since this was
one of the projects reflecting a savings. Mr. Scott Taylor informed that the City put in a sewer line
to serve both sides of Be Be Lane, but there was one house we could not get to because of a
grade problem.
Councilor Williams asked that since that is an extremely old area if at some subsequent
time the property was sold, could they come back in and make a similar request. Mr. Clark replied
that they could not under the same program but there are some other programs.
Councilor Williams and Councilor Esther asked that Staff address that matter with the
person whose last house we could not get to on Be Be Lane. They asked that staff write that
person a letter to explain what happened and why they could not be serviced. Mr. Clark will take
care of that.
City Manager explained the entitlement funds. Mayor added that the City Council had
previously approved and budgeted these funds and these are the left over funds because we over
budgeted.
Mr. Clark mentioned that this was for the 2003-2004 Budget, noting that funds are obtained
annually. The principle allocation is begun in March. He explained the process of obtaining these
funds. We are proposing to increase funding in the Urban Homesteading Program, Child Care,
Inc., Habitat for Humanity, Senior Citizen Services/Meals on Wheels, Mill & Overlay street projects,
and the Health Department Facility Expansion Project. Mr. Clark informed that they are proposing
some changes in some of the current operations we have—the first time homebuyers and
mortgage infield housing.
Mayor mentioned that the Community Health Care Clinic had previously requested funds
for a dental facility and they were told that would be considered when funds were reallocated. He
asked if they had been notified. Mr. Clark replied that that was previously discussed. They were
asking for a large sum and were provided some funds recently for dental equipment.
514
Item 6a continued
Councilor Norrie stated that the Committee did consider Mrs. Hiraki's request but no one
appeared before the committee.
City Manager commented that we are in the middle of the contract for the Health
Department expansion so we want to get these projects done. He added that we have the funds
to build it. We have to have the money in hand to pay for the project and we thought that was the
cleanest way to go about it.
Mayor stated that the Council had told Mrs. Hiraki that we would reconsider her request
and I would like to know where she is with her project. Mr. Clark stated that Council has the
opportunity to change this.
Councilor Williams said she noticed that Child Care, Inc. and Senior Citizens experienced a
cut in their funding, as well as a 6% shortfall. We did not give them all they requested either, and
we need to consider them on this reallocation as well.
Mayor stated that one of the things he is looking at is the $50,000 for Habitat for Humanity
that was not mentioned. Mr. Clark replied that it was but Mrs. Hiraki's request was for$100,000
and at that time the funding was not available. They have funding from the Priddy Foundation and
another foundation. Habitat for Humanity is $50,000, the lesser of the two monies. There was a
consideration for the Community Clinic but the money was not available. This proposal now makes
more sense.
Mayor called for additional public comments. There being none, the Mayor declared the
public hearing closed.
Item 7a
RESOLUTION NO. 13-2005
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WICHITA FALLS,
TEXAS, APPROVING THE AMENDMENT TO THE PROPOSED USE OF
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) FUNDS IN A
PREVIOUSLY APPROVED CONSOLIDATED PLAN; 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.13-2005 be passed.
Motion seconded by Councilor Williams.
Mr. Clark informed that the funds for the Health Department Expansion Project need to be
used before July in order to meet H.U.D. specifications.
Mayor said he would like to see this motion tabled for two weeks to allow Mrs. Hiraki to
make a presentation on the status of her project.
Councilor Norrie disagreed to tabling this motion. If we do this we would need to invite the
other entities as well. We did reconsider and discuss Mrs. Hiraki's request and we decided to
reallocate these funds as proposed here. Councilor Williams agreed stating that we were not
precluded from considering them even though they were not on the list. No one was invited to
come back but we know what some of the programs were, and we know the situation with the
Community Health Center. If that becomes the case, then I think we should open it up for all the
entities to come before Council.
Mayor stated that Mrs. Hiraki was the only one that was told we would reconsider.
Councilors Williams, Norrie, and Ammos, Outside Agencies Committee members, stated
that they had reconsidered her request.
City Manager stated that we felt we were finishing the Health Department Project, and
when this project is out of the way, in March or April, we will be sending out notices for new money
allocations and you can at that time consider everyone anew.
Mayor commented that we had said we would have her back when we reallocated and I
feel I have not kept my word to Mrs. Hiraki.
515
Item 7a continued
Councilor Williams commented that we were well aware of that promise and we did
consider it but we did not feel we had to have her there. Her request was considered because it
had been said that we would when funds were reallocated.
Councilor Norrie said the Committee did not feel it would be appropriate to have them back.
Motion carried by the following vote.
Ayes: Councilors Williams, Ammons, Esther, Norrie, Gonzalez, and Elmore

City Council recessed at 9:35 a.m. and reconvened at 10:00 a.m.
Item 8c
A proposed ordinance was presented waiving Appendix A, Section 6.2 (b) (3) with
respect to placing curb and gutter at 3400 Parkhill Road (Mesa Irrigated Farms, Block 30-
A, Lot 1).
Moved by Councilor Williams that proposed ordinance be passed.
Motion seconded by Councilor Norrie.
Jim Kline, #4 Buttercup, applicant, is building a home on Parkhill Road. He is requesting a
curb and gutter waiver. Mr. Kline provided information on the construction and showed pictures of
the area. He understands that there are no construction plans in the future for Parkhill Road. This
is a road that is almost completely developed; there are only about two lots left to develop. The
street slopes and it does drain. It is a significant amount of money that would sit idle in escrow until
curb and gutter is incorporated. I do not mind paying for curb and gutter but with the awareness
that it is going to be done.
Councilor Norrie stated that he had asked that this be put on the agenda. Mr. Kline had
showed him all the information he has presented to Council. When I drove out to the area I was
impressed with the type of country setting that is out there. Bar ditches were developed and there
are no drainage issues out there. It actually adds to this property. Councilor Norrie asked if
anyone had paid for curb and gutter on Parkhill? Mr. Kline replied that no one has that has a
Parkhill address.
Councilor Norrie asked if Parkhill is on the list to put curb and gutter in the next 10-15
years. Mr. Taylor replied that it would depend on the funding. There is no project that puts in curb
and gutter or widening on Parkhill Road. Waivers were given in the early 1990's because there
was no need to put in curb and gutter. Other developers have paid for curb and gutter and then
there are other areas like Barnett Road where the City paid for curb and gutter. The developers
put up no escrow. Curb and gutter can be put in but I cannot tell you when.
Councilor Elmore stated that he also went and looked at the property and he agreed that it
is a nice piece of ground and it has a very rural character. It is very clean out there.
517
Item 8c continued
Councilor Esther went out there also. He said that the first house you come to when you
turn off Seymour Highway has water standing in the driveway and that may be a potential drainage
problem. You may need to have future development in order to avoid causing drainage problems
to property downhill. That is a very pretty area. I think culverts and paving would improve that
area even more. That may be something that would encourage future development of that Street.
We need to look at that also. You made an investment in your favor.
Councilor Gonzalez expressed concern that several people have mentioned to him that
when they put money in escrow for curb and gutter they were told that nothing would ever be done
on Kovarik Road. He did not think it would be fair to waive curb and gutter for some while others
have had to pay.
Mr. Taylor assured Councilor Gonzalez that his staff does not tell anyone that they will not
see curb and gutter, but what we tell them is that there may not be a project currently scheduled.
Mr. Taylor said he would reemphasize that with his staff.
Mr. Taylor informed that waivers go with the property when it is sold. If escrow was not put
up and waivers were given, the City will have to pay for that with tax dollars. Barnett Road and
Grace Street are two examples.
Mr. Taylor explained that curb and gutter are plat driven and sidewalks are part of the
building permit. He gave an explanation of the curb and gutter funding aspect, and the Mayor
gave a brief history on the reason the escrow fee was created. Mr. Taylor noted that we have an
Ordinance and he made his recommendation to be consistent with that Ordinance; however, he is
not unsympathetic with Mr. Kline's situation.
Motion failed by the following vote.
Ayes: Councilors Ammons, Norrie, and Elmore
Nays: Mayor Altman, Councilors Williams, Esther, and Gonzalez
Item 9a
Councilor Ammons reminded everyone that Cher would be in concert on Friday night.
Councilor Norrie expressed appreciation for the discussion on the curb and gutter waiver
request.
Councilor Norrie received a phone call from a lady who has two meters at her residence,
one for her house and one for her yard. She had an $18.03 bill without using any water
whatsoever. She conserved water and still had the basic charge of$20.00/month. She also pays
more for her yard water than for her house. She has a 5/8-inch line on one and 3/4-inch line on
the other. She is actually being charged more for one than the other. It strikes me strange that we
have this. I do not know if we need to re-look at this. Mr. Taylor will make a presentation on this
as well as the sewer bills at the next council meeting. Mr. Taylor noted that the residence has a
lower charge than the irrigation because there is a readiness to serve charge on every meter. The
rate is the same for the water.
Councilor Esther asked that Staff contact the person on Be Be Lane in writing explaining
what took place.
Councilor Esther expressed appreciation to the staff for responding to his requests from
constituents. Councilor Esther stated that the cemeteries are being vandalized and there has to
be something that we can do about that.
Councilor Elmore asked voters to get out and vote on Saturday, February 5.
Mayor said that there has been some misunderstanding about how the Civil Service
Commission is appointed, and he proceeded to explain how appointments are made.
Item 9b
City Clerk provided information on last day of Early Voting and Election Day information for
the February 5, 2005 Special Election. City Clerk also informed that filing for the May 7, 2005
begins on February 5, 2005. Candidate packets will be ready for pick up on February 4, 2005.
518
Item 9b continued
Mr. Dave Clark gave a presentation on the Nortex Housing Finance Corporation Program,
noting that this was their tenth anniversary. Mr. Clark is currently serving as the President of this
Corporation
Item 9c
City Council went into Executive Session at 11:16 a.m. as authorized by Section 551.071 of
the Texas Government Code.
City Council reconvened at 11:18 a.m.
Mayor announced that no votes were taken during Executive Session.
