Wichita Falls Traffic Safety Commission -August 4, 1999 b. Board of Electrical Examiners -August 12, 1999 C. Commission on Human Needs -August 16, 1999 d. Landmark Commission - May 27, 1999 Item 9 A public hearing was held on the 1999-2000 Preliminary Budget. Mayor declared the public hearing open. Andrea Holland, 7 North Park Drive, Wichita Falls, on behalf of Wichita Heritage Society, expressed appreciation to the City for their support to the Heritage Society and for their generous support of the Heritage Days Festival, which will be held this year on October 16-17. City Manager gave an update of the budgeting procedures during this year. He concluded by informing that Council's directive to the Staff was to find approximately $550,000 to fund the employee benefits that Council was considering. He explained Staff's findings. We cut proposed expenditures in specific areas by $152,000. He mentioned the various areas of funding which were considered. He also mentioned that Council had talked about raising the tax rate to 55.19 cents which, in terms of those dollars, would raise $1,050,000 that would be applied to the police pay raise leaving an additional $84,000. In addition, the revision of revenue projections is $218,155 with the 55.19 tax rate. A consequence of the tax rate being raised is that the corporations that pay the City in lieu of taxes would also generate an increase of about $89,000. Also, the sales tax revenue projections would be revised % of a percent that would be added to the sales tax. We budget revenues extremely conservative so you can go back and tweak them, in this case 3% of a percent which we feel is safe to do. We looked at penalties and interest earnings and adjusted those up some. The last category we revised is $186,000 projected increase. The rate we are proposing is 98% which would generate the $186,000. 552 Item 9 continued In summary, the three areas which would generate the $550,000 are: 1. Expenditure cuts of$152,000, 2. Revenue increase due to a tax revenue projection being raised in penalties and interests and property rate itself being in lieu of tax payments, 3. Revising the collection rate percentages for the property tax from 97% to 98%. He noted that staff did not go to Reserve Funds to find any of these funds. Councilor Shine suggested that the public hearing be closed and a full discussion be held under the proposed ordinance under Item 10a. Mayor stated that if Council agreed and there were no comments by the public or by the Council the public hearing could be closed. Mayor called for additional comments. There being none, Mayor declared the public hearing closed. Item 10a ORDINANCE NO. 93-99 ORDINANCE ADOPTING THE ANNUAL BUDGET FOR THE FISCAL YEAR BEGINNING OCTOBER 1, 1999 AND ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 2000, AND APPROVING REVISIONS TO THE 1998-99 BUDGET; DETERMINING THAT THE MEETING AT WHICH THIS ORDINANCE WAS PASSED WAS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AS REQUIRED BY LAW Moved by Councilor Altman that Ordinance No. 93-99 be passed. Motion seconded by Councilor Williams. Mayor asked if the proposed ordinance included the revisions addressed in the public hearing by the City Manager. City Manager replied in the affirmative. Councilor Shine stated that he was not convinced that it was necessary to increase the tax rate to the point of leaving an additional $84,000. He felt it was only necessary to raise it to fund the police pay raise and not anything else. He questioned cutting the street overlay by $25,000. He stated that he did not think that the salaries should be raised as much as they have been. Councilor Beaty suggested the possibility of an across the board increase which was discussed at length. Councilor Altman felt that the 15% increase which was voted in for the police has put that part of the civil service out of perspective with a pay plan that has been established over the years to keep things in balance. We have an unusual situation this year with the mandated pay raise and we need to make some reasonable adjustments. Historically, we lag all other communities in salary comparison. Additional discussion ensued regarding pay parity between the Police Department and Fire Department and the non civil service benefits. Councilor Altman called for the question.

Moved by Councilor Esther that proposed ordinance be passed. Motion seconded by Councilor Williams. Councilor Beaty had a concern about the definition of a junk vehicle as not having a license plate or an inspection certificate. To him that makes it legally inoperable but it is not junk until it has met the time constraint. Mr. Dave Clark stated that the wording came from the statute. Councilor Beaty suggested adding the word "and" at the end of Section 20-41 (a)(1)(B). Councilor Altman questioned if the statute had the word "or" between Items (1)(2) and (3). Several concerns were expressed by the Council and it was suggested that this item be tabled.

Motion seconded by Councilor Beaty and carried by the following vote. Ayes: Mayor Yeager, Councilors Williams, Shine, Esther, Altman, Burns and Beaty Nays: None Item 10i ORDINANCE NO. 101-99 ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 26, ENTITLED "PUBLIC LIBRARY," AT SECTION 26-2, ENTITLED "APPOINTMENT," TO PROVIDE FOR A TERM OF OFFICE FOR MEMBERS OF THE LIBRARY ADVISORY BOARD; AND AT SECTION 26-3, ENTITLED "ORGANIZATION," TO REMOVE THE PROVISION ESTABLISHING A COUNCIL MEMBER AS AN EX OFFICIO MEMBER OF SUCH BOARD; PROVIDING FOR INCLUSION IN THE CODE; FINDING AND DETERMINING THAT THE MEETING AT WHICH THIS ORDINANCE WAS PASSED WAS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AS REQUIRED BY LAW Moved by Councilor Burns that Ordinance No. 101-99 be passed.

Ayes: Mayor Yeager, Councilors Williams, Shine, Esther, Altman, Burns and Beaty. Nays: None Item 11 b A proposed resolution was presented approving a contract for the inspection of Sanitary Landfill Liner Cell No.14 and Final Cover Cell No. 12. Moved by Councilor Altman that proposed resolution be passed. Motion seconded by Councilor Burns. Mr. George Bonnett informed that this was for the inspection only and explained the process. Mr. Bonnett stated that he has stayed with this firm because they have put together the permit so they know it intimately and he will not have to bring a third party up to speed which costs money. Secondly, the firm is here and we are not paying the per diem. Councilor Altman referred to Appendix A of the contract and questioned the actual wording in the contract and the intent regarding the hourly rate for the principals of the firm. From a contractual standpoint the intent is not what is stated in Appendix A. Councilor Altman noted that Item E establishes an hourly rate and Item B states that the salary expense to us will be 2.25 times that hourly rate. It was also noted that in listing Items C through E, Item B had been omitted. Staff will correct this. City Attorney stated that this wording could be improved to express the intent of both parties.

Motion seconded by Councilor Burns and carried by the following vote. Ayes: Mayor Yeager, Councilors Williams, Shine, Esther, Altman, Burns and Beaty 558 Item 10g continued Nays: None Mayor mentioned that there were questions regarding the consistency between this proposed ordinance and the State statute. City Attorney stated that what is in the agenda is what legislature passed, however, he thought it was subject to two interpretations without the "and" as mentioned earlier by Councilor Altman. All three sections could be three independent definitions of a junked motor vehicle. Or, you could read it that it meets definition Number 1 and it has to fall into the definitions of Number 2 or Number 3. City Attorney had a concern about that, therefore he suggested amending the proposed ordinance by adding the word "and" after the words "inspection certificate;" so that it has to meet requirements under Number 1 or 2 or 3 to fall within the definition of a junked motor vehicle. He felt that was the intent when the amendment was adopted. Moved by Councilor Burns to amend the proposed ordinance under Sec. 20-41. Definitions (1)(B) by adding the word "and" after the words "inspection certificate;". Sec. 20-41. Definitions (1)(B) would read "a valid motor vehicle inspection certificate; and". Motion seconded by Councilor Beaty. Additional Council and Code Enforcement concerns were discussed at length. Vote on the original motion as amended by inserting the word "and" after the word "certificate" under (1)(B) failed by the following vote. Ayes: None Nays: Mayor Yeager, Councilors Williams, Shine, Esther, Altman, Burns and Beaty Moved by Councilor Altman to amend the original motion by adding the word "or" after the word "certificate under (1)(B).
