Item 7a Moved by Councilor Johnston that bid be awarded to Ron Roberts Ford in the amount of$237,635.40 for the purchase of twelve (12) each police patrol vehicles. Motion seconded by Councilor Burns. Councilor Beaty asked Mr. Robert Parker to explain the City vehicle replacement process. 341 Item 7a Continued Mr. Parker explained that in 1985 the City purchased a fleet maintenance computer system and we started tracking maintenance and operation costs of each vehicle. The vehicles were divided into class codes so that all cars of similar size that are doing a like job are in the same class code. They are compared against each other on an operating cost. We monitor it continuously but run quarterly reports that give us the average operating cost per class code. When we decide to trade vehicles it is based on their cost comparison to the rest of the vehicle fleet and/or mileage. We try to get at least 150,000 miles out of all our pickup trucks. Once they have run their life cycle they are sold at auction. Mr. Shine asked what determines that a department needs a certain number of vehicles? What oversees the need? Mr. Parker replied that after they monitor the vehicle, he then gets with the department and division heads to discuss the utilization rate and to determine if there is a continued need for those vehicle(s) in that department or if they should be moved to another department. City Manager informed that the system has been set up where departments do not own the equipment, but it is owned by and leased from Traffic, Transportation. What was created was a "watch dog" that isn't just interested in one department's fleet but the entire City's fleet. It is Mr. Parker's charge to present to the budget staff a list of equipment which should be considered in the budget process. It is not just turned over because a department can get funds but because it has lost its life cycle. Mayor noted that there was a typographical error on the bid sheet. The high bidder should show a bid of$258,000 instead of$158,000. Motion carried by the following vote. Ayes: Mayor Yeager, Councilors Johnston, Shine, Thompson, Altman, Burns, and Beaty Nays: None Item 9a ORDINANCE NO. 99-98 ORDINANCE REZONING 2250 TURTLE CREEK ROAD, ALSO KNOWN AS LOT 1, BLOCK 1, KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS ADDITION, FROM SINGLE FAMILY-1 TO RESIDENTIAL MIXED USE; DETERMINING THAT THE MEETING AT WHICH THIS ORDINANCE WAS PASSED WAS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AS REQUIRED BY LAW Moved by Councilor Thompson that Ordinance No. 99-98 be passed. Motion seconded by Councilor Shine and carried by the following vote. Ayes: Mayor Yeager, Councilors Johnston, Shine, Thompson, Altman, Burns, and Beaty Nays: None Item 9b ORDINANCE NO. 100-98 ORDINANCE REZONING 2125, 2127, 2129, 2131 & 2133 BROAD STREET, ALSO DESCRIBED AS LOTS 16-20, BLOCK 8, SIBLEY TAYLOR ADDITION, FROM SINGLE FAMILY-2 TO GENERAL COMMERCIAL; DETERMINING THAT THE MEETING AT WHICH THIS ORDINANCE WAS PASSED WAS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AS REQUIRED BY LAW Moved by Councilor Johnston that Ordinance No. 100-98 be passed. Motion seconded by Councilor Beaty and carried by the following vote. 342 Item 9b Continued Ayes: Mayor Yeager, Councilors Johnston, Shine, Thompson, Altman, Burns, and Beaty Nays: None Item 9c A proposed ordinance was presented appealing a decision by the Planning and Zoning Commission to allow a carport within the 25 foot setback at 1622 Las Vegas Trail. Moved by Councilor Thompson that the proposed ordinance be passed. Motion seconded by Councilor Johnston. Mr. David Clark informed that he had received a letter from the petitioner requesting that this item be tabled. The petitioner now has support from the person who was opposed to the carport, and the petitioner wants to provide the Council with written support from this person. Moved by Councilor Johnston to table this item until the December 15, 1998 Council meeting. Motion seconded by Councilor Shine and carried by the following vote. Ayes: Mayor Yeager, Councilors Johnston, Shine, Thompson, Altman, Burns, and Beaty Nays: None Item 9d ORDINANCE NO. 101-98 ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO TRANSFER AVAILABLE ACCOUNT BALANCES IN VARIOUS ACCOUNTS IN THE GENERAL FUND ACROSS DEPARTMENTS AND APPROPRIATING GOLF COURSE FUND EQUITY FOR THE FINANCIAL CLOSING PROCESS OF THE 1997-98 FISCAL YEAR; DETERMINING THAT THE MEETING AT WHICH THIS ORDINANCE WAS PASSED WAS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AS REQUIRED BY LAW Moved by Councilor Johnston that Ordinance No. 101-98 be passed. Motion seconded by Councilor Burns. There was discussion on the mechanics of this process. Several Councilors felt the department excess funds should be put in General Fund and that overruns be taken from General Fund Equity. There are two methods of doing this and it was suggested that when the Auditor's report is presented these two methods be discussed. Another suggestion was that this be discussed in detail in a worksession. Finance Director will submit his report to Council by the end of December. Bettie Murphy, 101 Lakewood Drive, asked if by law a department can go in the red before the Council takes action? City Manager replied that they can; but there has to be the action at the end of the year to take them out of that situation. Mrs. Murphy suggested a quarterly financial report from the Finance Director which would give the overages in each department. Motion carried by the following vote. 343 Item 9d Continued Ayes: Mayor Yeager, Councilors Johnston, Thompson, Altman, Burns, and Beaty Nays: Councilor Shine Item 9e ORDINANCE NO. 102-98 ORDINANCE APPROPRIATING $10,000 FROM THE AIRPORT FUND EQUITY TO THE AIRPORT OPERATING FUND AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXPEND THE FUNDS ON AN OPTION TO PURCHASE KICKAPOO AIR PARK; DETERMINING THAT THE MEETING AT WHICH THIS ORDINANCE WAS PASSED WAS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AS REQUIRED BY LAW Moved by Councilor Shine that Ordinance No. 102-98 be passed. Motion seconded by Councilor Beaty. Mr. Robert Parker informed that the Airport Equity Fund is made up of parking and advertising revenue, lease money from the airlines, car rental agencies, or anyone that leases space. We do not collect any money from the passengers on a direct bases. We use equity for capital improvements and there is an available balance for this. According to State law, no income that is produced at the Airport can be used for non-aviation related items. Also, once we accept federal money to support our Airport for the various projects we cannot use airport money for anything else except airport generated business. He added that in the case of this particular grant and all airport-related grants from our City, no property tax dollars are expended on the 10% or 20% portion of the grant; it is all user fees. Roger Hutchison, 1521 Glendale, stated that he would like to see the City get the Airport, with one exception. The one exception is that it not be expanded to the extent that larger airplanes are used in that area. He asked that the people in that area be allowed to have input. Also, he asked Council to let the people know before they do something which will affect the area in which they live. Mayor clarified that at this time the City is in the process of perhaps purchasing Kickapoo, but there are no plans to expand the Airport. It is the intent to purchase it as is and to maintain it like that. We are not yet in the process of doing the study during which the people around the Airport will certainly be contacted. Council voted to hire a consulting firm to do the study but as of yet they have not been hired. The process has been outlined and we will talk to the people around the Airport. Motion carried by the following vote. Ayes: Mayor Yeager, Councilors Johnston, Shine, Thompson, Altman, Burns, and Beaty Nays: None Item 10a RESOLUTION NO. 170-98 RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE AN OPTION AGREEMENT WITH JOHN AND ANN COPPAGE GRANTING THE CITY AN OPTION TO PURCHASE PROPERTY COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE KICKAPOO AIRPORT; FINDING AND DETERMINING THAT THE MEETING AT WHICH THIS RESOLUTION WAS PASSED WAS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AS REQUIRED BY LAW Moved by Councilor Johnston that Resolution No. 170-98 be passed. 344 Item 10a Continued Motion seconded by Councilor Burns. Councilor Altman clarified that in the event the City, following the study, should decide to purchase the Airport the option agreement being considered today does not set the purchase price, it merely sets a maximum. That price is still subject to negotiation and will be based on the information from the study. Motion carried by the following vote. Ayes: Mayor Yeager, Councilors Johnston, Shine, Thompson, Altman, Burns, and Beaty Nays: None Item 10b RESOLUTION NO.171-98 RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING AN AGREEMENT WITH CONCRETE HOMES, INC. TO FACILITATE THE CONDITIONS FOR THE SALE OF CITY OWNED PROPERTY FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF NEW HOUSING AND TO AUTHORIZE THE SALE OF PROPERTY AT 1006 NEFF (LOT 12, BLOCK 5, HOMEWOOD HEIGHTS); FINDING AND DETERMINING THAT THE MEETING AT WHICH THIS RESOLUTION WAS PASSED WAS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AS REQUIRED BY LAW Moved by Councilor Thompson that Resolution No. 171-98 be passed. Motion seconded by Councilor Shine. Councilor Johnston suggested adding the completion date in the contract. Mr. David Clark informed that construction would begin within two weeks. He felt that the contractors would agree to the change of inserting the completion date. Moved by Councilor Johnston that the contract be amended to reflect that the construction is to commence within six months and completed within one year. Motion seconded by Councilor Beaty and carried by the following vote. Ayes: Mayor Yeager, Councilors Johnston, Shine, Thompson, Altman, Burns, and Beaty Nays: None Elvin Dudley, 2518 Shepherd's Glen, said that he was not aware that lots were available. He thinks this is a good idea, but interested builders are not aware of this. He suggested that plats and information on these lots be provided to the builders. Original motion as amended carried by the following vote. Ayes: Mayor Yeager, Councilors Johnston, Shine, Thompson, Altman, Burns, and Beaty Nays: None Item 10c RESOLUTION NO. 172-98 RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS, REPEALING A TAX ABATEMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF WICHITA FALLS, AND PRESTON PRODUCTS, INC.; FINDING AND 345 Item 10c Continued DETERMINING THAT THE MEETING AT WHICH THIS RESOLUTION WAS PASSED WAS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AS REQUIRED BY LAW Moved by Councilor Johnston that Resolution No. 172-98 be passed. Motion seconded by Councilor Thompson. Councilor Altman suggested clarifying the language for future tax abatements to make it clear that in those instances it can be repealed so that we remove all doubt. Motion carried by the following vote. Ayes: Mayor Yeager, Councilors Johnston, Shine, Thompson, Altman, Burns, and Beaty Nays: None Item 10d RESOLUTION NO. 173-98 RESOLUTION TO APPROVE REVISED WATER PURCHASE CONTRACT WITH DEAN DALE WATER SUPPLY CORPORATION; DETERMINING THAT THE MEETING AT WHICH THIS RESOLUTION WAS PASSED WAS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AS REQUIRED BY LAW Moved by Councilor Johnston that Resolution No. 173-98 be passed. Motion seconded by Councilor Thompson. Council expressed several concerns about providing appropriate water service to our citizens if this contract is approved. Mr. George Bonnett stated that he would not want another 100,000 plus gallon increase, however, the City can accommodate this contract revision. He explained the purpose of the contract and addressed Council concerns. W. E. Reichart, President of the Dean Dale Water Board, informed that the way they interpret the agriculture irrigation is that they cannot afford to irrigate out of the system, and added that watering a few cattle or horses would be fine, but there is no way you can irrigate twenty acres of corn. Motion carried by the following vote. Ayes: Mayor Yeager, Councilors Johnston, Shine, Thompson, Altman, Burns, and Beaty Nays: None Item 10e RESOLUTION NO. 174-98 RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING AN AMENDMENT TO SECTION 5.4 OF THE WATER PURCHASE CONTRACT BETWEEN THE CITY OF WICHITA FALLS AND THE WICHITA VALLEY WATER SUPPLY CORPORATION; FINDING AND DETERMINING THAT THE MEETING AT WHICH THIS RESOLUTION WAS PASSED WAS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AS REQUIRED BY LAW Moved by Councilor Johnston that Resolution No.174-98 be passed. Motion seconded by Councilor Burns. 346 Item 10e Continued Mr. George Bonnett noted that the resolution needed to reflect that it was the sixth amendment and not the fifth amendment. Moved by Councilor Thompson to amend the resolution to reflect the "sixth amendment" in place of the "fifth amendment". Motion seconded by Councilor Johnston and carried by the following vote. Ayes: Mayor Yeager, Councilors Johnston, Shine, Thompson, Altman, Burns, and Beaty Nays: None The original motion as amended carried by the following vote. Ayes: Mayor Yeager, Councilors Johnston, Shine, Thompson, Altman, Burns, and Beaty Nays: None Item 10f RESOLUTION NO. 175-98 RESOLUTION REPEALING RESOLUTION NO. 80-82, ADOPTED MAY 4, 1982 IN ITS ENTIRETY AND SUBSTITUTING THEREFORE THE FOLLOWING RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING POLICIES FOR APPOINTMENTS TO THE CITY BOARDS, COMMISSIONS AND ADVISORY GROUPS; FINDING AND DETERMINING THAT THE MEETING AT WHICH THIS RESOLUTION WAS PASSED WAS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AS REQUIRED BY LAW Moved by Councilor Johnston that Resolution No. 175-98 be passed. Motion seconded by Councilor Burns. Moved by Councilor Beaty to amend the resolution section titled 'Publicizing of Vacancies and Openings' by changing "shall be publicized" to "will normally be publicized". Motion seconded by Councilor Johnston and carried by the following vote. Ayes: Mayor Yeager, Councilors Johnston, Shine, Thompson, Altman, Burns, and Beaty Nays: None Moved by Councilor Altman to amend the resolution section titled 'Attendance' by deleting the phrase "without good cause". Motion seconded by Councilor Johnston. The original motion as amended carried by the following vote. Ayes: Mayor Yeager, Councilors Johnston, Shine, Thompson, Altman, Burns, and Beaty Nays: None 347 Item 10g RESOLUTION NO 176-98 RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING AN ADDITIONAL CONTRIBUTION TO THE GREATER TEXOMA AIR QUALITY COALITION FUND; DETERMINING THAT THE MEETING AT WHICH THIS RESOLUTION WAS PASSED WAS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AS REQUIRED BY LAW Moved by Councilor Johnston that Resolution No. 176-98 be passed. Motion seconded by Councilor Thompson and carried by the following vote. Ayes: Mayor Yeager, Councilors Johnston, Shine, Thompson, Altman, Burns, and Beaty Nays: None Item 11 A discussion was held on storm drainage issues. Mr. George Bonnett and Mr. Scott Taylor presented information on 56 drainage capital improvement projects and their estimated costs, as well as those projects which could possibly be eligible for 4B funds. National Pollution Discharge Elimination System implementation was also addressed. NPDES covers all discharges made into the waters of the U.S. both from a point source (waste water treatment plant) and non-point source (storm water), which is the phase that the City is going to enter into. We have to be in compliance by the year 2001 with the Phase 2 regulations which includes developing a risk management practice plan for the City and putting some implementation programs in place to assure that those are met. The estimated cost for the implementation is $500,000. Mr. Bonnett informed that an amount which could be spent effectively each year is $1.5 million. Two or three smaller projects can be done to save for larger projects in the future. Councilor Altman asked if there was a practical way to determine the number of people directly affected within a reasonable error margin. Mr. Bonnett felt that there was a way but it would be subjective. We could look at street flooding and the annual daily traffic, which could give you a guidance but not hard numbers. Councilor Altman said that it is unfair to pick one, two or three projects as opposed to saying that we have to take all of these projects and work on a long term program to try to resolve the whole problem. Councilor Shine felt that they should start with the funding today. Councilor Beaty felt that the criteria had to be set of how many people, structures, etc. are going to be affected. He believed that before going to our citizens for more money we ought to first make a good-faith effort to address these drainage issues with the resources they already provide us. 1) Perhaps we can get with the 4B Board and apply or earmark a portion of the 4B funds to handle applicable drainage issues since over $11 million worth of these drainage problems are 4B eligible. 2) We were made aware that there was a surplus of $345,000 in Public Works money alone (which we transferred to other areas with short falls). Perhaps we have other funds which may be made available to address some drainage issues. Essentially, I think that we should first make a good faith and honest effort to apply existing sources of money before seeking new sources from our citizens. City Manager provided funding information as follows: Existing budget funds - He does not believe there is a way to make an adequate attempt to solve all these problems in a meaningful amount of work in a project by bleeding it out of existing budgets. However, he stands to be proven wrong. Tax rate increase - One cent brings in about $250,000, so if you want to generate $1 million you would need to raise the tax by four cents. He suggested that if they do that, the four cents should be set aside in its own fund. 348 Item 11 Continued Storm water utility districts - That can be done in the affected area or declare the entire City as a storm water utility district. Each dollar per month on water sewer bill would generate $1 million. 4B funds - It is up to the 4B Board as well as the Council as to how those funds are divided up. Mayor noted that $1.5 million would allow the flexibility to do some of the smaller projects each year and set aside an additional sum to attack some of the larger projects. City Manager mentioned that if funding sources are set in place we could proceed by General Obligation Bonds. Other financing options are revenue bonds, certificates of obligation, and tax anticipation notes. City Attorney informed that in regards to establishing storm water utility districts you are looking at the existing City limits. City Manager suggested structuring a good program and testing the waters to see what public reaction would be by taking it to the voters. Storm water utility districts were discussed in detail, as well as what direction Council should follow. Councilor Thompson asked if we could start with what we have and work forward to the storm water utility district City wide. Mayor suggested looking at some carry forward funds that we would not anticipate needing in the budget to get started and then look at the storm water utility district. It was suggested that a workshop be held to look at the funding and that a Council committee along with Staff look at the means of prioritization of the projects and report to the Council. Mayor stated that anyone on the Council is welcome to look at the budget with the Staff to determine if there is any slack in the budget. Councilor Altman did not feel a workshop was needed to determine if we create a storm water utility district. He suggested that staff bring a proposed ordinance on creating a storm water utility district. We can look at the way we fund it and the details. We need to attack the long range problem by providing the mechanism and we can adjust the priority of the projects based on money in current budgets, 4B funds, etc. and make those decisions as we go along. We can create a sinking fund for the long term problem. Councilor Shine felt they should handle all the funding first. Councilor Johnston felt that there are too many things that need to be considered before a storm water utility district could be decided on. City Manager said it would be useful for Council to see from an audited standpoint where we started and finished each year and how Council used the extras the following year. Councilor Altman felt that because there is a high probability that the City will have to use a special district for some part of the funding, he would like to see the framework started as soon as possible, as well as look at the funding. Staff was directed to schedule a worksession for the first meeting in January, 1999 to look at funding and setting up a Council committee to set project priorities. Item 12a Councilor Shine asked about scheduling a meeting with the 4B Board and the Council. Mayor suggested doing that after the storm drainage issue worksession. Councilor Thompson asked that a Proclamation be presented to the Hirschi Huskie and Rider Raider football teams commending them for bringing pride to our City. He wished the Hirschi Huskies well at their Class 4A Division II Region 1 championship game. He asked that the Hirschi Huskies be invited to the December Council meeting. 349 Item 12a Continued Councilor Beaty commended and thanked those who went before the Texas Transportation Committee on the U.S. 287 overhead project. He also noted the noteworthy contributions of Steve Seese and Richard Luedke in support of the Mayor's presentation. Mayor mentioned that the people on the Highway Needs Committee are very committed to their job of trying to improve the highways in and around Wichita Falls and they make it easier to get the job done. Mayor expressed appreciation to Troy Jensen and Steve Seese in preparing and editing the video and for all their support. Councilor Burns informed that the Hirschi Huskies are playing Friday night at Texas Stadium at 7:30 p.m. and the game will be covered on Radio 94.9 FM. He complimented the sanitation collection employee who helped with a repair on the Glendale collection route. He reminded City employees, who sometimes think that the jobs they are doing are not appreciated, that there are citizens who pay attention to what they do. You are representing this City and you are putting forward a more than favorable impression. I thank you and the citizens thank you. Councilor Altman thanked the citizens who watch the Council meetings on television, which speaks very well of the high quality of the citizens in this community and their interest. He is convinced we have an excellent Council who does an excellent job of debating issues, such as the storm drainage issue today, exploring things out in the open, expressing our viewpoints and looking for opinion. The televised Council meeting also gives an excellent opportunity to the citizens to see how well prepared our Staff is. Councilor Altman asked for an update on the parking situation around Rider High School. Mayor mentioned that this will be Andy Messer's last week with the City, and expressed appreciation to him for a job well done, and wished him well in his new employment in Dallas. Mayor informed that at 6:00 p.m. tonight the Harold Jones Park lights will be turned on. Also, Friday night at Midwestern State University the Burns Fantasy of Lights will be turned on. Mayor mentioned records management within the City and suggested that the City Manager put together a project team similar to the one used to analyze the City wide computers, and move forward in a concerted and direct effort. She asked that this be looked at throughout the whole organization as to what are the statutory requirements, the equipment needs, the practicality of implementation of any recommendation, and the staffing requirements. Item 12b Mr. Robert Parker gave an update on the Rider High School parking issue, and informed that the solution is for someone to build a parking lot. City Manager informed that Mr. Robert Powers will call to set a meeting time for the Golf Course Committee. The City Council adjourned at 1:10 p.m. 350 PASSED AND APPROVED this day of 1998.
