motor? ,Acting City Manager Dane Bennett stated that it would be retained as a
back-up.
Councilman Thomas asked what was the problem with the motor? Mr. Bennett
stated that it was too small . It threatened to burn out in the last flood. It
is a replacement of one of the motors already there.
Councilman Swift asked if these motors have a number for inventory control?
Mr. Bennett stated that they had not been, but they would be in the future if
that is what the Council desires.
Fred Werner, Chief Accounting Officer, stated that we have a numbering
system, but these items are not numbered if they are not movable. They inventory
once a year, and compare with their inventory. Mayor Cook noted that the motors
have serial numbers, and if one is removed, we have proof of ownership.
Councilman Wilson asked about the capacity of the gates in Colonial Park?
He had had a question on it by a property owner.
City Engineer Randy Brown stated that he had asked Vernon Gillam to look at
these gates. He does not know what the status is at this time. Fie is aware
that there have been some problems-with these gates. Clayton Electric is making
a study of it. At the South gate they have a settling that is causing some of
these problems, but they will adjust them with limit controls to help solve this
problem. They have no problem with the gates other than debris getting into them.
Councilman Thomas asked if Biggs and Mathews said where that water would go

Moved by Councilman Morris that Resolution No. 79-83 be passed.
Motion seconded by Councilman Boston. !
Councilman Wilson asked about the number of projects which would be eligible
for this kind of sidewalk leveraging? He has some questions about the public
participating in these sidewalk improvements, and how many more requests we will
have? He questions the wisdom of this kind of continuing expenditure.
Acting City Manager Dane Bennett stated that he does not know how many older
buildings will be renovated, but he understood that in the past that the City
tried to participate in these projects where they could.
Gordon Beck, Assistant Planning Director, stated that he knows of no others
except the Radio Building which will be coming up in the future. There are five
other large buildings downtown which could be renovated.
Councilman Swift asked Mr. Bennett how many in the past have been funded?
Mr. Bennett stated that the Atrium Building is the only one that he is aware of.
We would participate, or not participate, according to the Council ' s wishes.
Mr. Beck stated that any building with an initial investment of two million
dollars would be eligible, and it has to be in a blighted area.
City Attorney H. P. Hodge stated that we have an ordinance requiring the
abutting property owner to make repairs to a sidewalk in a residential area, if
it gets in bad condition; however, we are responsible for it.
Councilman Wilson asked about the condition of the sidewalk we would be
taking out? Mr. Beck stated that it is just as serviceable as any other sidewalk
downtown.
J. C. Boyd stated that the Midtown plan has a section for beautification.
The Council has control over any request that comes before them.

public hearing will be held on April 25 at the site.

Item l0a
Donna Brown requested an appearance, appealing disapproval of a taxicab
chauffeur's license.
City Attorney H. P. Hodge reported on legal research concerning this matter.
He explained that under our ordinance a felony conviction can be used as a reason
for revoking or not issuing a license in these cases. He stated that there is a
state law which addresses this question. It provides that a licensing authority
may disqualify this applicant if their duties and responsibilities directly relate
to this crime. The licensing authority shall consider (1 ) the nature of the crime;
(2) the relationship of the crime to the occupation; (3) the extent to which a
license may offer an opportunity to engage in further criminal activity of the
same type; (4) the relationship of the crime required to perform duties of the
licenses occupation; (5) extent of person's past criminal activity; (6) age at
time of crime; (7) time elapsed since last criminal activity; (8) conduct and
work activity of person prior to and following criminal activity; (9) evidence of
person's rehabilitation while incarcerated or following release; (10) other
evidence of person's present fitness, including letters of recommendation from
prosecution, law enforcement, and correctional officers et al ; (11 ) it shall be
the responsibility of the applicant to provide to the licensing authority the
recommendations required under this act; the record of steady employment, support
of dependents, record of good conduct, and has paid all outstanding costs and
restitution ordered because of the conviction.
The law also provides that if the licensing authority denies the person a
license, then that person may file a court action within 30 days.
Donna Brown stated that she was convicted of a crime six years ago. She
does not feel the job she is trying to get would endanger the citizens of Wichita
Falls. She stated that she has no intention of ever committing another crime.
She feels that she is completely rehabilitated.
Councilman Morris mentioned her parole officer, asking if he had been here
this morning? Mrs. Brown stated that he was supposed to write a letter to
Mrs. Thomas. The Council asked Mrs. Thomas if she had received it, and Mrs.
Thomas replied that she had not.
Councilman Morris stated that it is very hard to overturn the recommendation
of the Police Chief on this matter. A letter from the parole officer might shed
some light on it.
Moved by Councilman Harper that this matter be tabled until the next council
meeting.
Councilman Morris asked what kind of problem we have with legal records and
arrest records? What kind of liability do we have in these cases? The ordinance
pertains to convictions. City Attorney H. P. Hodge agreed that it is generally
convictions. He had never seen this arise on arrest records.
Councilman Morris requested that the Legal , City Manager, and Police Depart-
ments take a look at this ordinance in regard to how long the parole has been
granted. The City Attorney noted that the Legislature indicated that guidelines
need to be drawn up.
Councilman Thomas asked Mrs. Brown if she had a definite offer of a job, and
Mrs. Brown stated that she did.
The motion was seconded by Councilman Boston, and carried unanimously.
Councilman Boston requested that the parole officer be requested to appear,
as well as writing a letter.
151
Item 10a, cont'd.
Acting City Manager Dane Bennett stated that police records and arrests have
to be considered. Granting this request would set a precedent, and we have to
consider that these people can be everywhere in the city at any hour of the day,
and we have to take into consideration the safety of our citizens.
City Attorney H. P. Hodge stated that young children and elderly people are
very vulnerable riding in a cab.
Acting City Manager Dane Bennett stated that Mrs. Brown had worked for the
City, and was terminated before her probation period ended. She also tried to
work for another city, and was terminated because she failed to put her conviction
on her application.
Bob Parker, Director of Traffic and Transportation, stated that he did not
recommend her for rehire with the City.
Police Chief Harrelson stated that they have a problem with arrest records,
as opposed to convictions.
Item lla

Councilman Harper asked if this request went to the Planning Board? Acting
City Manager Dane Bennett stated that these items do not go to the Planning Board.
Councilman Harper stated that he would hope that these things would go through
the Planning Board in the future.
Mr. Wright stated that abutting property owners have not had any objections.
He would appreciate the opportunity to protect his property. In addition to his
tires being cut, others in the neighborhood had tires ruined, also. His carport

Motion seconded by Councilman Morris.
Councilman Harper asked what happens now?
j Jerry Gross, Acting Director of Public Utilities, stated that there is an
engineering contract on this. He did not know where or when at this point the
plant would be funded.
Mayor Cook stated that with these engineering studies it would allow us to
phase in over the next months and years as we can.
Acting City Manager Dane Bennett stated that one contract was issued with
no method of financing, and we need to take care of this. Mr. Gross stated that
the engineering services have been provided, and we need to pay for it. Mr.
Bennett stated that he did not know how this came about, but it needed to be taken
care of. Councilman Harper was concerned with 'the phasing-in of this work.
Councilman Swift asked how often these things come up' of under-estimation of
funds? Mr. Bennett stated that he did not know because he was not involved in
them. We are finding that some of these things need to be looked at. Councilman
Swift stated that it is time to deal with these inefficiencies.
The motion was carried by the following vote.
Ayes: Mayor Cook, Councilmen Swift, Thomas, Harper, Wilson, Morris ,
and Boston
Nays: None

Item lle was deleted from the agenda.
Item llf
Discussion was held on a proposed ordinance repealing Subsections (a) and
(c) of Section 4-1/2 - 70 of the Code of Ordinances, to allow the operator of an
invalid coach to charge for services.
153
Item llf, cont'd.
L
Moved by Councilman Swift, and seconded by Councilman Wilson that the
ordinance be passed.
Councilman Harper stated that he does not understand what we are doing.
City Attorney H. P. Hodge stated that several years ago the City adopted an
ordinance which regulated the operation of ambulances. Gold Cross came in and
operated under this ordinance. The City, County, Iowa Park, and Burkburnett paid a
subsidy so they could operate and make a profit. A couple of health care facilities
here in town, each of which owned an ambulance type of vehicle, used them to carry
these patients for treatment. In order to operate the emergency ambulance, it
necessitated a reasonable charge, but some of these patients had to make trips
regularly, and the cost was too high. They did not want to charge for their
service to their patients. The Council adopted an invalid coach license. The
operator could not charge and could only transport their own patients.
We now have a contract with Plumlee Ambulance Service. They are licensed
under the emergency service. We have a contract with Plumlee to provide emergency
service, and it also provides for a subsidy. It seems that a city of this size
cannot support an ambulance service without a subsidy.
Randolph Duke operates a transport service. At the present time he does not
have a license under either section of the ordinance. He operates his business
from points inside Wichita Falls to outside Wichita Falls, and vice versa, and
he is limited to that service. He has requested an opportunity to operate from
two points within the city. He cannot charge for it.
The ramifications of this are extremely important. Mr. Duke does not desire
to get into the full blown ambulance service. He desires to get into the invalid
coach service for which charges could be made. The present emergency ambulance
operator is authorized to operate invalid coach service, and is authorized to
charge for this service. It is a very lucrative source of revenue to the present
ambulance operator. If part of this service is siphoned by someone else, that
will reduce the revenue of the emergency ambulance operator. This would result
in a lowering of his revenue, and would have an adverse effect on any subsidy he
would have to have to operate.
Mr. Duke wants to get into a business that uses the city streets. He wants
to enter an era that a city has an extremely difficult time providing this service.
Mr. Hodge also mentioned -anti-trust ramifications. They apply to cities, as well
as private individuals. The question might come up whether we would be violating
anti-trust laws. His office thinks not, but there is a question.
Plumlee does not have an exclusive contract. If Mr. Duke wanted to operate
like they are, then he could apply and have it considered. His feeling is that
Mr. Duke has not been denied the privilege of going into the ambulance business
like anyone else. If his request is granted, you will have to consider what the
future of ambulance service is in Wichita Falls.
Acting City Manager Dane Bennett stated that the current subsidy of Plumlee
is $176,000. They asked for $226,500, and were granted $176,000.
Mayor Cook stated that this was addressed in a work session. The ordinance
here would amend the right to charge, as well as the matter of transporting.
Councilman Swift asked what portion of Plumlee' s revenue is emergency and
invalid? The City Manager stated that he did not have a specific breakdown on
this. Corky Dean, Plumlee Manager, stated that 50 percent of their revenue comes
from non-emergency charges. Councilman Swift asked about total revenues. It was
estimated at $545,000. Mr. Dean stated that non-emergency calls are easier collected.
Councilman Thomas asked how many employees and ambulances Plumlee has? Mr.
Dean stated that they have 21 employees, and four ambulances. The same ambulances
are used to transport invalid patients. It costs $30,000 for an equipped ambulance.
Randolph Duke stated that he is not asking for a subsidy from the City. He
has been in business for one and one-half years. He gets calls every day from the
citizens, and he has to refuse these calls because he cannot charge. His ambulances
are inspected by the city and state for medicare and medicaid. He has to have
everything on his ambulances that the contractor has on his.
i
154
Item llf, cont'd.
Mayor Cook noted that the ordinance did not require his ambulances to be
equipped for medicare and medicaid. He does not do emergency runs.
Mr. Duke stated that his basic charge is $65.00, plus $1 .50 per mile.
Councilman Swift asked what Plumlee charges for the same service? Mr. Dean
stated that it is $70.00, and $2.00 per mile.
Councilman Thomas asked what effect this will have on Plumlee asking for
larger subsidies? Mayor Cook stated that he suspects they will be back because
of decreased revenue. Mr. Dean stated that under their contract they do not feel
they can refuse service. Mr. Duke would not accept non-paying calls. Plumlee
would be left with that type of call , and something might have to be done.

Item 12c
Discussion was held on a proposed resolution authorizing the City Attorney
to institute eminent domain proceedings to acquire land for Langford Lane right-
of-way.
A motion was made by Councilman Morris, and seconded by Councilman Harper
that the resolution be passed.
Councilman Thomas asked for what. reason the developer cannot acquire this?
City Attorney H. P. Hodge stated that he notified the two property owners involved.
He heard from Mr. Siegman, but he has not heard from the law firm representing the
Netum Steed estate. Mr. Siegman stated that they had made an offer to sell the
property to Mr. Wachsman, to which they had not received a response. He thought
it was 20 feet for $5,000. They would be willing to sell a 30-foot strip on the
same basis for $7,500. 1
Mr. Wachsman stated that the street would cost $90,000, and the street will
definitely appreciate the value of his land. He stated that before his death,
Netum Steed had seemed agreeable to sell enough of his property to utilize both
sides, but he does not want to give Mr. Siegman a $45,000 street, but the street
needs to be in there.
Robert Mathews, engineer, stated that this conforms to the master plan, and
it will probably be the only thoroughfare from Fairway to Barnett Road. It would
join in on the south side of the stadium. At this point it would be very difficult
to change the configuration because of poor planning, engineering, etc.
Mayor Cook stated that if we initiate eminent domain proceedings the cost
would be borne by Mr. Wachsman. The City Attorney explained that the developer
would pay for these costs. If it cannot be negotiated between the owners, the
only avenue left open would be the assessment paving program, and charged to the
two parties by assessing against the abutting properties. The City has in the
past accepted a portion of this because it was so high. They could assess the
full amount to the property owners. You cannot assess the abutting property owner
by more than the value his property is enhanced by the improvement of the property.
Since it is the developer's responsibility to do this he would feel that they
would want to pay for the costs.
Mr. Mathews feels there are three options. On the north side the developer
is not interested because of the property being in estate. He wonders if the
City could have some kind of agreement with people on the north when they get
permits? Could the City reimburse him like the old water and sewer reimbursement
contracts? The City Attorney stated that he could not answer that. He had not
seen anything like that.
Councilman Wilson asked if we adopted this resolution, are we committed in
any financial way on this street? The City Attorney stated that we are not. If
you determine that it is necessary to acquire the right-of-way, the City is not
out any of the costs. All costs are charged to; Mr. Wachsman. There is no respons-
ibility or commitment of the City to do any improving on it. After the property is
acquired and it is determined that it needs to be paved, then they may come to the
City, and then it could cost us.

Item 12c, cont'd.
Moved by Councilman Wilson that this matter be tabled for further negotiation
between the developer and property owners.
Motion seconded by Councilman Morris , and carried unanimously.
Item 13a
A proposed resolution was presented approving final payment on the Colonial
Park pump contract.
RESOLUTION NO. 78-83
J RESOLUTION APPROVING CHANGE ORDER NO. 1 AND ACCEPTING CONSTRUCTION OF
COLONIAL PARK FLOOD CONTROL PUMP IMPROVEMENTS.
WHEREAS, the City of Wichita Falls and Onyx Construction Co. , Inc. entered
into a contract dated November 2, 1982, wherein the Contractor agreed to construct
certain Colonial Park flood control pump improvements ; and,
WHEREAS, during construction certain unknown existing conditions were uncovered
which required additional construction in order to make the system function; this
additional construction is set out in Change Order No. 1 , which increases the
contract amount by $10,870.00; and,
WHEREAS, the construction has been completed in accordance with the plans
and specifications; and,
WHEREAS, the original contract price for this project was $445,720.00, of
which $423,434.00 has been paid to the Contractor, leaving a balance due of
$22,286.00, plus the $10,870.00 due under such Change Order No. 1 .
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WICHITA
FALLS, TEXAS, THAT:
Change Order No. 1 is hereby approved, the construction of such project is
hereby accepted by the City of Wichita Falls, and the City Manager is directed
to pay to the said Contractor the balance due as set out above.
Moved by Councilman Morris that Resolution No. 78-83 be passed.
Motion seconded by Councilman Harper, and carried by the following vote.
Ayes: Mayor Cook, Councilmen Swift, Thomas, Harper, Wilson, Morris,
and Boston
Nays: None
Item 14a
Permission was requested to advertise for bids for purchase and installation
of new fences and relocation of existing fence at the landfill .
Moved by Councilman Harper that authority be granted to advertise for bids,
as requested.
Motion seconded by Councilman Boston, and carried unanimously.
Item 15a
A report was presented on the investigation of residential gas meters used
by Lone Star Gas Company.
Councilman Thomas asked if residential and business codes are the same on
the bills? David Liles, Manager of Lone Star Gas Company, stated that they are.
The only change is when there is a new rate increment. He stated that industrial
codes are different. Councilman Thomas cited an instance where the code was
changed on a bill , and he wonders if the change would have any effect on some of
the charges made?
157
Item 15a, cont'd.
Mayor Cook noted that utility rates are not popular. In recent charges made
by meter inaccuracies; it should be noticed that we found no irregularities in
favor of Lone Star Gas Company taking advantage of it. And differences were in
favor of the consumer. In the recent consultant investigation of Lone Star Gas
Company no irregularities were found in the operation of the local company. None
of the charges and allegations can be borne out in this study.
David Liles stated that Lone Star Gas Company had its beginnings in 1909 in
Wichita Falls. They have tried to deliver gas service to its customers with the
highest degree of integrity. It disturbs him that the Council has had to be
exposed to these allegations. Lone Star Gas Company is not going to be tampering
with meters or anything else in detriment to their customers. He appreciates the
Council 's concern in this matter, and the extent to which they went to investigate
this matter.
Councilman Harper asked how Lone Star Gas Company measures its BTU content?
Mr. Liles stated that it is measured at the well head. They will not accept less
than 1000 BTU's. Sometimes they accept 1250 BTU's, but it presents them some
problems unless they can mix it with a lower BTU.
Mayor Cook expressed appreciation to the staff for the way the meter matter
was conducted, and the timeliness of it.
Item 15b
A proposed ordinance was presented waiving ordinances concerning city enforce-
ment of deed restrictions for Lots 1 and 2, Block 70, in Faith Village, Unit II .
Moved by Councilman Harper, for discussion purposes, that the ordinance be
passed.
Motion seconded by Councilman Morris.
Councilman Harper stated that this will not address what happens to the
surrounding blocks. He would hope that we can get a review of the whole block.
He stated that he would have to vote against it, as long as a majority of the
people are dissatisfied with it.
Councilman Wilson agreed with Councilman Harper. He does not believe this
proposal meets the test of meeting those requirements for all property owners
involved.
Councilman Morris also agreed. It does not have the same kind of controls
as Lots 73 and 74.
The motion failed by the following vote.
Ayes: Mayor Cook, Councilmen Swift, Thomas, Harper, Wilson, Morris,
and Boston
Nays: None
Item 15c
Councilman Harper stated that the state opened up the bidding process, and
he would like the Council 's indulgence to prepare an ordinance along this line
in order for them to look at.
Mayor Cook requested that Mr. Bennett and his staff address this in relation
to the SMSA, County, or City limits.
Acting City Manager Dane Bennett introduced Dave Tracey as the new Street
Superintendent.
Mr. Bennett also mentioned the modification to the Jasper Street water plant.
He is going to go ahead and have these changes made, and a final change order will
be included on the next agenda.

Item 15c, cont'd.

ment with Sheppard Air Force Base. He asked if he feels comfortable when Sheppard
