Moved by Councilor Ammons that the Consent Agenda be approved. Motion seconded by Councilor Williams and carried by the following vote. Ayes: Mayor Altman, Councilors Williams, Ammons, Esther, Norrie, Gonzalez, and Elmore Nays: None Minutes of the following board and commission meetings were received. a. Clean Community Commission — November 17, 2004 b. Wichita Falls Economic Development Corporation —August 30, 2004 c. Wichita Falls Economic Development Corporation — March 12, 2004 d. Civil Service Commission — January 15, 2005 e. Civil Service Commission —January 14, 2005 f. Civil Service Commission —January 13, 2005 g. Civil Service Commission —January 7, 2005 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 Nays: Mayor Altman Item 7b RESOLUTION NO. 14-2005 RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS, AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASE OF A LOGGING RECORDER INTERFACE IN THE AMOUNT $55,820 FROM DAILEY AND WELLS COMMUNICATIONS; 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. 14-2005 be passed.

Ayes: Mayor Altman, Councilors Williams, Ammons, Esther, Norrie, Gonzalez, and Elmore Nays: None Item 8a ORDINANCE NO. 4-2005 ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS, MAKING APPROPRIATION TO THE SPECIAL REVENUE FUND FOR ADDITIONAL RYAN WHITE TITLE III GRANT FUNDING IN THE AMOUNT OF $87,124 RECEIVED FROM TARRANT COUNTY, AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE CONTRACT ACCEPTING SAME; 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. 4-2005 be passed. 516 Item 8a continued Motion seconded by Councilor Esther and carried by the following vote. Ayes: Mayor Altman, Councilors Williams, Ammons, Esther, Norrie, Gonzalez, and Elmore Nays: None Item 8b ORDINANCE NO. 5-2005 ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS, MAKING AN APPROPRIATION TO THE SPECIAL REVENUE FUND FOR ADDITIONAL RYAN WHITE TITLE II GRANT FUNDING IN THE AMOUNT OF $2,014 RECEIVED FROM TARRANT COUNTY AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE CONTRACT ACCEPTING SAME; FINDING AND DETERMINING THAT THE MEETING AT WHICH THIS ORDINANCE WAS PASSED WAS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AS REQUIRED BY LAW Moved by Councilor Elmore that Ordinance No. 5-2005 be passed. Motion seconded by Councilor Williams and carried by the following vote. Ayes: Mayor Altman, Councilors Williams, Ammons, Esther, Norrie, Gonzalez, and Elmore Nays: None 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.
