Item 7a Public Hearing on the use of Federal Revenue Sharing Funds to increase funding levels for the continuation of the downtown park project. Mayor Lam summarized that the Downtown Park Project had been passed and approved by the Council. At that time there were several unknowns such as the eligibility of the project for certain other type funds and construction costs, basically, demolition cost with asbestos potential. We are now more knowledgeable on those two issues. At this time we need to apply for and receive more of these revenue sharing funds. Mayor Lam declared the public hearing open. Grant Collins spoke in favor of approving funds for the downtown park project. He and his wife, June, are members of the Downtown Revitalization Association. Mr. Collins stated that this project was very important to their efforts in revitalizing the downtown area, and would like to encourage the approval of these funds. Max Yancey, # 3 Karen Court, Wichita Falls, Texas, spoke against funding this project. Mr. Yancey said that he felt we had plenty of parks and questioned who was going to use a downtown park with the high crime rate. Mayor Lam replied that 480 Item 7a, cont'd. it would be used more than normal parks because of people working downtown. He also stated that the crime rate is less downtown. Mr. Yancey thought that the reason there is less crime downtown is the lack of people downtown that could be robbed or mugged. Mr. Yancey continued, as far as transferring funds, he believed in putting money back for a rainy day and with the sewer project coming up, he felt the City needed to hold on to this money and not waste it. He thought the City needed to take something on and finish it and see what is left and see if the City can afford it. He hopes the city project will be put on hold or at least placed on a ballot to see if the citizens of Wichita Falls want it or not. Councilor Hawkins asked if this amount was the same as the last figure given, around a quarter of a million. City Manager replied that the figures were the same. Councilor Hawkins stated that what we were actually doing since we were not allowed to use funds from one source, we were going to a different source to get the funds. City Manager explained that the CDBG funds would be used for asbestos removal, demolition and disposal costs of building, and we would have CDBG funds bring it up to grade level which means we would not anticipate any problems. Revenue Sharing and the donated funds from private sources would be used to construct the park. Councilor Hawkins agreed with Mr. Yancey in that he thinks that we took on a project that should have been left alone. The Council, by a majority, voted to go on with it, and now we own the building and it has to be disposed of. We are in a catch 22 situation where now we have to do it. Councilor Loughry also agreed with Mr. Yancey stating that the Council has become very spend-thrift; everytime someone comes up with an idea let ' s buy it, let' s do it. He commented that we don' t ever want to slow down with our spending. Mr. Loughry would like to see the items separated where they could vote on each item individually. He said you vote for a few things you want and you end up with something you do not want. He would like to see these items broken up. Councilor Thompson commented that the Council appointed the Downtown Committee and encouraged them to research to see what could be done to revitalize the downtown area. We are now not acting in good faith when we asked them to do this and they do not have the revenue themselves to revitalize downtown. They have done what we asked them to do. Now the time has come to vote to make resources available. It is not popular to spend money. The popular stand to take is not to spend money. We have to be true to what we said we were going to do. Councilor Hawkins said he was not on the Council when the Committee was appointed. No one else wished to be heard. Mayor Lam declared the public hearing closed. Item 7b Public Hearing on approving the Amendment of the Final Statement of Community Development Objectives and Proposed Use of Funds. Mr. Dave Clark stated the purpose of this hearing was to consider reallocation of $250, 000 of block grant monies. These monies have become available through project changes and monies left over that now need to be reprogrammed. Under this we are recommending a consideration of several changes in programs. These have to do with completion of already started or already discussed projects. A follow up again with citizens input from many of the suggestions made during the public meeting 481 Item 7b, cont'd. processes that were done last June. We are recommending the creation of a $50,000 urban homesteading program, which would return abandoned buildings to private home ownership and tax producing entities. $20,000 for economic development funding to allow the City to have flexibility for the furthering of economic efforts. $5 , 000 to be utilized for an adaptive re-use plan for the Holt Hotel, which would provide for some small scale studies to get that project off the ground. $51,000 for a rental rehab program, which the City has previously had and would provide housing for low to moderate income people. $150,000 for Spudder Park Shelter which would improve recreational opportunities in that area of town. $4, 000 for a wheel chair lift at Lucy Park Swimming Pool. $17, 000 for additional costs not allocated in administration of block grant :. program that need to be accomplished. He mentioned some changes in the scope of work. The City authorized a mill and overlay project for many streets within eligible areas with some changes. For reasons of change in eligibility and for priority in considering the condition of the street, we would delete Tenth Street, Thirty-Fourth Street, Seventh Street and Gerald, Elwood, Neff and Holland from those previously published. We would be adding Taft between Ave. K and Kell, Twenty-Third Street, Bridwell, Andrews, Dee, Wood, Twenty- Second Street, Keeler, Wilson, Smith and Bonner. There are also approximately twenty other streets that would be continuing on with this program. These are projects that have been conceived from the public hearing process and citizen input. Mayor Lam declared the public hearing open. Councilor Thompson asked to what amount the Williams Park Project had been reduced. Catherine Fitch replied that the original allocation was $47 , 500 which was reduced to $31 , 500, reduced by a total of $16 , 000. The reason for the reduction is the park shelter is in the floodway and cannot be constructed for that reason. You cannot construct anything above grade in the floodway. The only thing that could be constructed would be a sidewalk or pond improvements. Mr. Thompson inquired if it had always been in the floodway and Mrs. Fitch informed that certain parts were in the floodway and certain parts were in the floodplain. Councilor Thompson asked if the pond would still be sealed in order to put water in it so the fish would not die. Mrs. Fitch answered yes. Councilor Thompson asked if the $20, 000 for economic development would be for the income areas that we normally use for community block grant. Mr. Clark replied that the economic development criteria under block grant has to do with the benefits for low and moderate income people. The business that might become involved within an eligible area isn' t as much a factor as the people they hire that are low and moderate income. He mentioned the TelQuest Project funding and that majority of hirings were from low and moderate income people. Councilor Thompson was puzzled in that most of the things we do , with CDBG funds we tie to census block groups and certain areas. If we are going to revitalize an area the most important thing is to create jobs in that area. When you do not tie that down, there is not a guarantee that the ultimate objectives will be achieved. Mr. Clark commented that this would create jobs for low and moderate income people, and that any specific project would come before Council. Councilor Hughes asked how the Spudder Park Shelter Project fit into some of the meetings with the Eastside Revitalization Committee, and if that fit in with a lot of what they were requesting. Mr. Clark replied that one of the themes in the recreational area is to provide increased recreation opportunities. Councilor Hawkins asked if this idea had stemmed from the meetings of the revitalization of eastside. Mr. Clark 482 Item 7b, cont'd. responded no, but that one of the concerns was having recreational opportunities and programmed recreation. Councilor Hawkins asked if the Eastside Revitalization Committee was made aware that there was a possibility of $150,000 they might have access for development of their area. Mr. Clark replied that they were not, other than the fact that they were aware that the City receives CDBG funds that can be used for different projects. Councilor Hawkins was concerned with the fact that $150,000 was being spent for a covered basketball court when there are so many other needs on the eastside of Wichita Falls, such as jobs and businesses. He asked if this money could be used for education or job opportunities over there. City Manager stated that this was highlighted in some of the meetings that were held. From the recreational standpoint, this could be used for a numerous amount of functions; it is a flexible court. Parks could program recreational events in that area. This project seems to score high for the use of these funds. Mayor Lam mentioned that this was one of the real concerns with the citizens, as well as with the youth, which was voiced at the community meeting downtown. By creating something like this downtown we can answer some of the private groups asking for money. This is a more viable way to spend the funds that we are privileged to, as opposed to private ventures that sometimes run afoul. Councilor Hawkins expressed appreciation for this input, but still felt that $150, 000 was a lot of money for a basketball court. City Manager asked that this be considered as much more than a basketball court since it was a flexible pavilion and appears it will be a low maintenance item because of how it is constructed. No one else wished to be heard. Mayor Lam declared the public hearing closed. Item 7c Public Hearing on request of Jody Wade to operate a limousine service in Wichita Falls. Mayor Lam stated that application had been received to open up a limousine service and that requires a public hearing. Mayor Lam declared the public hearing open. Jody Wade, Wichita Falls, Texas, spoke on behalf of himself and his partner, Michael McDonald. They would like to name their service Presidential Limousine Service. They requested that the Council grant them a license; they feel this service would be very beneficial to our community. They did research and found a need for this service in our community; this would be a strong asset to Wichita Falls by providing this service to our growing community. No one else wished to be heard. Mayor Lam declared the public hearing closed. Item 8a ORDINANCE NO. 11-94 ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING A FRANCHISE FOR LIMOUSINE SERVICE Moved by Councilor Martin that Ordinance No. 11-94 be passed.

F-2. Moved by Councilor Martin that proposed resolution be passed. Motion seconded by Councilor Hawkins. Mr. Ed Janousek, #5 White Oak Court, Wichita Falls, informed that the encroachment is a basketball court and that he does not intend to build anything up. He said that it is just a goal for his children and their friends to play basketball. Several concerns were voiced regarding possible future needs for the aqueduct, and the fact that if one encroachment is authorized others would follow.

Ayes: Mayor Lam, Councilors Loughry, Thompson, Hughes, Martin, and Hawkins Nays: None Item 9f A proposed resolution was presented to grant waiver for out of city limits water service. 486 Item 9f, cont 'd. Moved by Councilor Hawkins that proposed resolution be passed. Motion seconded by Councilor Hughes. Michael Detrick, in the capacity as business manager for Ed Spraggins and SCO Trust, appeared. Mr. Detrick' s address is 2219 Wenonah, Wichita Falls. He gave background information on the land where the buildings in question are located and stated that their farming base had been reduced to just slightly over 500 acres, hardly meriting ownership of the buildings in question for strictly agriculture purposes . These are clearly manufacturing and industrial use-type buildings. Gardner-Zemke, sub-contractor at the State Prison site, obtained a lease from Mr. Spraggins to utilize those buildings as an operational base and part of their needs is water, which would be used for health facilities for contractors ' employees, and for fabrication and manufacturing. Mr. Detrick assured the Council that there was no hidden agenda, specifically, that they are not and do not intend to be in the restaurant business. In addition, he assured the Council that the buildings were not agriculture-based facilities. City Manager expressed Staff ' s concern that if you allow commercial usage of water outside the city limits for one, this would throw it open for others to follow. Several ideas were brought up, such as setting up a water meter to a fire hydrant, or a short term non-annexation agreement and temporary meter. City Manager suggested that this be looked at and that all terms be clearly stated, specifically, that at the conclusion of the short term non- annexation agreement the water line would be taken out. Mayor Lam asked City Manager to meet with the groups involved to express the Council ' s concerns and their desire to cooperate, and that he bring back a recommendation on the best way to do this . Moved by Mayor Lam to table the proposed resolution. Motion seconded by Councilor Thompson and carried by the following vote. Ayes: Mayor Lam, Councilors Loughry, Thompson, Hughes, Martin, and Hawkins Nays: None City Manager clarified that the staff would be drafting an agreement in such a way as to protect the City' s interests in the future. Council agreed. Item 9g Moved by Councilor Hughes that Item 9g be tabled until after executive session. Motion seconded by Councilor Martin and carried by the following vote. Ayes: Mayor Lam, Councilors Loughry, Thompson, Hughes, Martin, and Hawkins Nays: None Item 10a Al O'Hara, 4113 Aspen, asked about the date for renegotiations with the cable company. City Attorney replied 487 Item 10a, cont 'd. that the Cable Franchise expires in April. Mr. O'Hara asked if anyone else was bidding. City Attorney replied that no one else had submitted a proposal to the City for a franchise. Mr. O'Hara inquired if the citizens would be the ones to object to having a new tier system. City Attorney replied that Mr. O'Hara could address to the management of the cable company his concerns and desires for how he would like to see the system offered. He said that there would be a public hearing at the time of the franchise and the date will be published. Mayor called for a ten minute recess. Meeting resumed at 10: 30 a.m. Item 10b Councilor Loughry mentioned the TelQuest expenditure and requested a printout of all the monies that had been provided to them. He stated that he would get with Mrs. Fitch for this information. Councilor Hughes informed that there was a bill from the House (Condit Bill, HR 140 ) and from the Senate (Kempthorne Bill, S 993 ) which prevents the Federal Government from passing unfunded mandates. He urged the citizens to write their legislators to support this bill. Councilor Hawkins asked for an update on the toilet facilities for Plum Creek Lake. Mr. Murphy informed that they were going to do some more investigation as to how best to address that. He mentioned that they have other areas with same situation, no restrooms. Councilor Hawkins inquired of Mr. Bonnett if he had done any more research in the use of water out of the river or treatment plant. Mr. Bonnett said they were prepared to tap that water source but it would be expensive and they would be looking in the neighborhood of approximately $50 , 000 to $100 , 000. Councilor Hawkins commented that we had spent $50, 000 for a duck pond at Lucy Park for the ducks to enjoy and he would like to see us do something to make certain that people continue using Williams Park, because so much of it is in the floodway now. If we could get a good lake for them to fish in, it might be worth it. Councilor Thompson made reference to Charles Dickens ' book A Tale of Two Cities which states the "best of times and worst of times, time of hope and time of despair" and said he felt this was true in Wichita Falls. He recommended we review the direction we are going. He encouraged that we look at, as we grow, how we might be able to lift up all of our city at the same time. He encouraged Mrs. Stricklin to get a greater allocation of JTPA enrollees that we could use to make employment available, and for those that fall above the guidelines, that she work with plant managers to assist in finding jobs for them. Councilor Thompson mentioned the need to improve the housing problem in our City by improving housing for the low income in order to prevent a homeless problem from increasing. He also mentioned that he had been approached about another crime violence meeting and suggested that one of the other council members volunteer to spearhead this. He said he would not be the one to organize it this time. Item 10c Nothing was presented. 488 Item 10d The City Council recessed into executive session at 10: 55 a.m. , according to Section 551. 074 of the Government Code.
