Corporation in the amount of $333,362.
Motion seconded by Councilman Wilson.
Councilman Wilson asked if the low bidder has had an opportunity to discuss
this to see if they could provide an alternate? Fire Chief Jameson stated that the
factory representative had been contacted. The lowest that the unit could be lowered
is 11 feet, 8 inches, and it was not low enough. They had no objections. He stated
that the specifications contained the height requirements. The 92 foot ladder cleared
the door by 112 inches. (It measures 10 feet, 10 inches) . Councilman Swift asked
what is meant by a pre-pay chassis? Chief Jameson stated that if we pre-pay, they
give us a discount.
The motion was carried unanimously.

ORDINANCE NO. 51-84
AN ORDINANCE WAIVING ORDINANCES CONCERNING MUNICIPAL ENFORCEMENT OF
DEED RESTRICTIONS FOR LOT 5, BLOCK 11 , SHEPPARD ESTATES (2400 PIEDMONT
PLACE) , WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS
Moved by Councilman Swift that Ordinance No. 51-84 be passed.
Motion seconded by Councilman Welburn.
jMr. Tom Ataliotis stated that he has owned this property for ten years.
He wants to open a beauty shop at this location. He stated that he went to
the City permit office, the City Attorney, Planning, and Traffic. He prepared
a plan for the building and the parking. He obtained a permit. He was told
that he would need to go to the people within 300 feet. The Planning Depart-
ment notified the property owners within 300 feet. There were five objections
from the twenty-five people involved. He stated that Parker Square violated
the deed restrictions before him. His business will not be offensive or
noisy.
Mayor Cook noted that these deed restrictions were implemented in 1942.
He asked Mr. Ataliotis if the work begun on this house has gone beyond its
use as a residence? Mr. Ataliotis stated that it has.
Mayor Cook noted that deed restrictions would still exist and the citizens
can still enforce them by a court of law. The City cannot waive deed restric-
tions; only the enforcement of deed restrictions by the City Attorney' s office.
Councilman Wilson stated that the Mayor's point is particularly important.
The City has never waived any deed restrictions. We have never given away any
right that any property owner has against another. When we waive enforcement
of deed restrictions, the people still have that right.
i
Councilman Wilson asked when the first commercial development in this
area took place? Mr. Ataliotis stated approximately ten years ago. Council-
man Wilson noted that these people in this area have been on notice of commercial
development in this area.
Assistant City Attorney Jeanie Thompson stated that there was a court
action several years ago, and these lots shown in yellow on Kemp were said to
be unenforceable, but on the remainder of the lots it was shown that the
highest and best use was for residential purposes. Parker Square is not
part of this subdivision. Different tracts have different restrictions.
Parker Square had no response.
Councilman Wilson asked what the exterior of his business would look like?
Mr. Ataliotis stated that the windows would make it look almost residential .
He stated that the traffic from Piedmont Street to his business would be one
out of 500 cars, maybe. His customers will come from the alley in Parker
Square. Parking will be in the back. The Council disagreed with using an alley
425
Item 10a, Cont'd.
as a street. He stated that he is not recommending where his customers come into
his business, but whatever is convenient. The main entrance will be from the rear.
Councilman Thomas informed him that he could go through the courts in the
County to get the deed restrictions lessened. The building permit was only for
$3,000. He has known all along about the deed restrictions.
William Bijak appeared for Mary Bijak at 3401 Sherwood. This residence falls
within this 300 foot circumference. He addressed access from the alley as a drive-
through. He wondered if this is legal ? He stated that he is not sure that the
yard could take over 6-7 cars. The next option would be to pave the front yard.
There are no paved yards in that area. He sympathized with the gentleman if he
did not know about the deed restrictions; however, any person should seek the advice
of legal counsel , but it is still a deed restriction even though he may not have
understood it. This is strictly a residential area. There are no signs on the
street.
Councilman Wilson explained that the question before us is whether the City
pays the attorney bills with tax money. The property owners still have the right
to enforce the deed restrictions. The City would not be changing any deed restrictions.
The motion for passage of Ordinance No. 51-84 was carried by the following vote.
Ayes: Mayor Cook, Councilmen Wilson, Palmer, and Welburn
Nays: Councilmen Swift and Thomas

Moved by Councilman Swift that Ordinance No. 53-84 be passed.
Motion seconded by Councilman Welburn.
Mayor Cook asked if consideration had been given to daylight saving time?
Jeanie Thompson, Assistant City Attorney, explained that the ordinance is identical
to the Alcoholic Beverage Commission requirements. Police Chief Harrelson agreed
with the legal hours to drink requirement. Sometimes it is difficult to control
drinking after hours. This would help enforcement. He does not see any particular
problem this would cause. We allow drinking on Sunday.
The motion was carried by the following vote.
Ayes: Mayor Cook, Councilmen Swift, Thomas, Wilson, Palmer and Welburn.
Nays: None

BACK-SIPHONAGE CONTROL BOARD.
Moved by Councilman Thomas that Ordinance No. 54-84 be passed.
Motion seconded by Councilman Wilson.
Councilman Wilson asked what communication was used to make the plumbing
industry aware of these changes? Planning Director Roger McKinney stated that
it came before the Plumbing Board. Councilman Wilson noted that there were
only three or four people present. Mr. McKinney stated that most of this is
already contained in the Plumbing Code. Truman Davis, Plumbing Inspector,
stated that he had received no objections on this from the plumbers. Council-
man Thomas noted that a one-day seminar was held for the plumbers on this,
and Mr. Davis stated that it was well attended.

Ayes: Mayor Cook, Councilmen Swift, Thomas, Wilson, Palmer and Welburn.
Nays: None

Moved by Councilman Swift that Ordinance No. 55-84 be passed.
Motion seconded by Councilman Palmer.
Councilman Wilson asked if there is a problem between the distinction of
a permit to operate a cab and a limousine service? Assistant City Attorney
Jeanie Thompson stated there is no problem the way the ordinance is written.
Steve Knudsen stated that he has insurance on file with the City Clerk
for one vehicle. He has no need for the other vehicle right now. He carries
more than the amount of insurance required by law. Councilman Swift suggested
that he check with the City Clerk to see if he had the required amount of
insurance.

Item llc
RESOLUTION NO. 85-84
RESOLUTION APPROVING, AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A SALES
AND PURCHASE CONTRACT AND SERVICE AGREEMENT WITH TEXAS ELECTRIC SERVICE
COMPANY FOR THE PURCHASE OF THE STREET LIGHTING SYSTEM.
Moved by Councilman Wilson that Resolution No. 85-84 be passed.
Motion seconded by Councilman Swift.
Councilman Swift asked for an explanation of this item. Traffic Director Bob
Parker stated that the City owns part of the street lights, and Texas Electric owns
part of them. We are paying Texas Electric $42,000 a month for electricity and
maintenance. We pay $4,000 for ours. These rates are regulated by the Public
Utilities Commission. This will bring all lights, except security lights, into
city ownership. This will pay for itself in 18 months. Councilman Swift asked how
long this has been going on? Mr. Parker stated that we have been purchasing them
as we got the money. Councilman Welburn asked the average age of these lights?
Mr. Parker stated that he would have to get that information off the computer, but
that it is five years in the tornado area. Councilman Wilson noted that the ballast
and fixture would be about the same for a two or three year old lamp. Mr. Parker
stated that he would need an additional truck and two men.
Councilman Wilson suggested a new ordinance to require the developer to install
them, rather than the City. City Manager James Berzina stated that the staff looked
at this, and the savings are there. We are already doing maintenance on one-third of
the system. We have the experience. We could pay this off now in this fiscal year
if we can't get a very favorable bank rate loan. Mayor Cook noted that it was our
goal two years ago to acquire these lights for substantial savings.
Councilman Swift suggested that we advertise who to call for maintenance.
Mr. Berzina noted that we have some good vehicles to use for advertising, especially
on our water bills.
The motion was carried by the following vote.
Ayes: Mayor Cook, Councilmen Swift, Thomas, Wilson, Palmer and Welburn.
Nays: None
Item lld
RESOLUTION NO. 86-84
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE PUBLICATION OF NOTICE OF INTENTION TO LEASE FOR
OIL AND GAS CERTAIN LAND LOCATED AT LAKE KICKAP00 IN ARCHER COUNTY, TEXAS.
Moved by Councilman Swift that Resolution No. 86-84 be passed.
428
Item lld, Cont'd.
Motion seconded by Councilman Thomas.
Councilman Wilson stated that we do not have a list of properties. He
is concerned that we may have a loss of revenue from the sale or lease of
property. Councilman Thomas stated that this is the reason several months
ago that we requested that all properties be put under one person, so we know
where they are. Councilman Wilson stated that there has to be a considerable
amount of interest from a citizen to go through the maze to lease it. We
should take the initiative and make it available to the public.
Councilman Swift explained the process of oil exploration. It is a
monstrous task. He suggested that the term be reduced to one or two years.
Five years is too long. Some people will take a five-year lease, and just
sit on it.
Moved by Councilman Wilson that Section 2 be amended to read no more
than "two" years.
Motion seconded by Councilman Palmer, and carried by the following vote.
Ayes: Mayor Cook, Councilmen Swift, Thomas, Wilson, Palmer and Welburn.
Nays: None

Item Ile
Discussion was held on a proposed resolution calling upon the Public
Utilities Commission to support the concept of optional local measured
telephone service based on actual costs of service for residential and com-
mercial customers.
A motion was made by Councilman Wilson, and seconded by Councilman Palmer,
for passage of the resolution.
Councilman Palmer asked why the Council was getting involved in asking
the PUC to approve a rate schedule that we don't know much about? We do not
have information on what they will receive. He questions that this is some-
thing that we should get involved in.
Mayor Cook stated that this is a good point. The telephone company has
the lifeline service, but we would remove from it the optional measured
service. Councilman Palmer stated that they are asking the Public Utilities
Commission to accept this rate schedule, and he questions whether the Council
should be doing this. Councilman Thomas agreed. Councilman Wilson stated
that we are not endorsing the rate schedule; only that which should be an
option of these people in the marketplace to have the option of how they use
their telephone. Councilman Wilson stated that he is curious as to how other
council members feel . He does not take a hard line on it. Mayor Cook
explained what this resolution does.
Councilman Welburn asked if they would prefer that we take a position on
the whole package, as opposed to just one part? Mayor Cook stated that he
thought that was what the telephone company wanted. We only addressed one
part of it. Councilman Wilson noted the positive and negatives of either
concept.
I The motion failed by the following vote.
Ayes: None
Nays: Mayor Cook, Councilmen Swift, Thomas, Wilson, Palmer, and Welburn

Item l l h
Discussion was held on a proposed resolution authorizing the city manager to
execute a waiver letter for location of oil and gas wells of Henry Energy Corporation
near Lake Kickapoo.
A motion was made by Councilman Palmer, and seconded by Councilman Welburn,
that the resolution be passed.
Jeanie Thompson, Assistant City Attorney, stated that we do not know where
the wells will be located.
Moved by Councilman Thomas that this matter be tabled for additional information.
Motion seconded by Councilman Swift, and carried unanimously.
Item Ili
Discussion was held on a proposed resolution approving a lease with Wichita
Falls Independent School District for community room facilities at Huey School .
A motion was made and seconded for its passage.
Jeanie Thompson, Assistant City Attorney, stated that there is a question in
Paragraphs 5 and 6 on who would pay the utilities, and whether separate meters would
be available. The City is also not happy with Paragraphs 11 and 13, as proposed by
the School District.
Councilman Welburn desired to wait a while until the problems can be worked out.
Moved by Councilman Thomas that the staff work with the superintendent of
schools and both attorneys to work out these problems.
Motion seconded by Councilman Wilson.
Moved by Councilman Welburn that this matter be tabled until the next meeting,
for additional study.
Motion seconded by Councilman Wilson, and carried unanimously.

Item 13a
Recommendations of the Lake Wichita Task Force were considered.
Don James stated that they have had one meeting, and they would like
to bring the lake level up for fishing, etc. They will be looking at other
things later. Beginning in May they would like to bring the lake level to
978 feet above sea level , and reduce it to 976 feet by September 1 . They
propose that the lake level be actively maintained at 976 feet.
Acting Director of Public Utilities Jerry Gross stated that prior to the
May 1982 flood, the lake was about 980 feet. The 36-inch valves drain
the lake very slowly. He would like to maintain it at 976 feet. He does not
believe the lake can be brought up to 978 feet with the permit we just received
from the State. We did not indicate that we would raise it to 978 feet. Even
if we did, he is not sure we can get enough water in the channels to maintain
it. He cannot accomplish the 978 feet for either operational or permit reasons.
Councilman Wilson asked how long it will take to bring it down to 976
feet? Mr. Gross stated that he can bring it down one-tenth of an inch per
day. Mr. Gross stated that he has no personal reasons for leaving it at
either level . He just wants the Council to have the information they need
to make that decision.
Councilman Wilson stated that it is a difficult thing to weigh because
at the same time you want to be holding more water, that is the time when
we have additional rain. Councilman Thomas noted that at 976 feet, the
Yacht Club has folded. He does not think we will ever get anyone to develop
this area for private purposes without raising the level for summer usage.
Don James stated that it is the consensus of the Lake Wichita Task Force
that if we cannot raise it to 978 feet we are just wasting our time. He
believes we can put two feet of water in the lake in a month. Councilman
Thomas stated that until we address the whole water system the lake will not
be a problem.
Jerry Gross stated that he is not speaking against the Task Force, but
unless we change what we told the Corps of Engineers in March 1983, we will
not be able to raise it.
Mayor Cook asked if we could request an amendment to our permit to the
978 feet for recreational use in the summer? Dick Manahan, Assistant Director
of Public Utilities, stated that in all studies, the 976 feet level was used.
He also does not think we can get it down the canal to raise it to 978 feet.
If the permit only says to let water in for recreational purposes, then he
feels the Council can establish the level at 978 feet. Mr. Gross stated that
the actual permit has not yet been received. Mr. Manahan stated that we are
trying to accomplish two conflicting things, with rains during the spring and
summer.
Councilman Thomas asked how many inches a day are we losing by evaporation?
Mr. Gross stated that it has been pretty stable since March, and he feels it is
staying very near the 976 feet. Councilman Thomas stated that we have a problem
With the lake. If we drop the level , we may as weTl. .drain it.
Mayor Cook noted that the Task Force is recommending that the Council
pass a resolution requesting that the lake be used as recreational purposes,
and its level be maintained at 978 feet.
Don James stated that it is their opinion that the water from -the flood
did not come from Lake Wichita, but from construction in other parts of town.
There is not enough risk to destroy the recreational value of the lake. He
stated that they would look at the rainfall charts, but they do not feel
there is that much risk involved in establishing the level at 978 feet.
Councilman Thomas noted that when we had the flood in 1982, we had
received a lot rain before that time. Councilman Wilson stated that if we
go to 978 feet, we need to determine if this is a temporary measure, or what?
Don James stated that they wanted to look at it for this summer, and look at
it again for a long term level . They do not have any quarrel with the 976
feet level from the Corps of Engineers. They are also going to look into
raising the dam with city means.
431
Item 13a, Cont'd.
Mayor Cook directed the staff to prepare a resolution endorsing the use of
Lake Wichita as a recreational facility, and that the city allow the use of irriga-
tion water from the canals beginning May 1 to September 1 , at 978 feet level ,
unless wet conditions require a lower level to protect against flooding.

Leon Sanner complimented the city on cleaning the spillway at Lake Wichita,
stating that it is the first time he has ever seen it clean in fourteen years.
A BCI representative noted that they are involved in quality of life for the
city. Recreation is one of these factors, and this is a factor in people coming
to our city.
