Councilman Wilson asked why is this not a budgeted item? City Manager
James Berzina stated that it is a budgeted item, but it will restore the funds
used for the Human Relations banquet. Councilman Palmer asked why this
group has a banquet, and others don't? Is there something special about it?

i
i Councilman Harper stated that he had not heard of this compressor before.
Purchasing Agent Dick Arndt stated that it is a reputable compressor. Council-
man Thomas stated that they have a representative in Wichita Falls. They are
the new owners of Galveston/Houston.
The motion was carried unanimously.
Item 8a
The public hearing was opened on hazardous structures.
Ralph Bullington, 1314 9th Street, stated that they use this building
as storage. They are trying to get bids to see if they can fix it satisfac-
torily, or tear it down. They would like more time, both to get bids, or if
it cannot be fixed, more time to demolish it. Mayor Cook explained that he
believed if work is being done within the 30-day period the Code Enforcement
people will work with them, even if it has not been completed within the
30-day period.
Nathan Brown appeared regarding 203 Homes and 205 Homes. He stated
that they cannot put them in an original condition because it would be econom-
ically impossible to do. The people who live in the area could not afford
them. Mayor Cook asked if these structures were rented up until the time
the Inspection Department contacted him, and Mr. Brown stated that they were.
Mrs. Newcomb, Code Enforcement, stated that they started making repairs.
The Building Inspector took a look at them. The structure was just being covered
up with siding, and it was still a hazardous structure. He was instructed
on how they needed to be repaired. Mr. Brown disagreed that they were being
covered up. They were not finished.
Discussion was held on the cost to repair the foundation, electrical ,
and plumbing. Councilman Swift asked how he got 207 Homes to comply with
the code? Mr. Brown stated that they got to it before it was red-tagged. He
stated that it meets Section 8 housing requirements. Councilman Harper asked
if he took out a building permit for 207 Homes? Mr. Borwn stated that he
thought he did.
Mayor Cook stated that the primary purpose is to remove the structure,
or repair it to bring it back to standards. What Mr. Brown is saying is
that it is economically impossible to repair it to bring it back to standards.
Councilman Harper noted that the Standard Building Code has been adopted,
and it requires a concrete block foundation.
Councilman Wilson asked what the difference is in repairing it or bringing
it back to city code, and how many will not meet the city code? Mr. Brown
stated most of them will not meet it. Councilman Wilson asked at what point
the city can say that these changes are significant enough that you have
to go with the new code? Mr. McKinney stated that they would look at the
new code requirements on foundations. It would depend on how much electrical
and plumbing had to be replaced. That would be the basis on making their
decision. He would have to take out permits. Councilman Thomas asked how
we would go on these old structures, and what guide we would use? He also
asked if we use electrical and plumbing people who make their living that
way, or do we just use our building inspection people? Councilman Harper
stated that our inspectors are well qualified, and he hopes they continue
that way. He does not want them to ever waive the code. As far as electrical
work, they should go by the code. We have also adopted a standard housing code.
Mrs. Newcomb stated that it depends on what needs to be done. Many
times it is a judgement call on the part of the inspector. Mayor Cook confirmed
that it is only those parts that the inspector feels needs to be made in
compliance, and not all of it. Mr. McKinney stated that if 60 percent of
the wiring needs to be replaced, they would require replacement of the entire
672
Item 8a, cont'd.
wiring. Mayor Cook noted that all he is required to repair is what is
unsafe for occupancy.
Councilman Thomas asked if weight has anything to do with it? Mr.
McKinney stated that if the foundation needs to be replaced, they have to
look at our current foundation requirements. Councilman Thomas wondered
if we should perhaps look at the use of bois d'arc posts? Mayor Cook
stated that we would not ever want to recommend this until our boards and
commissions have looked at it. It is not the Council ' s intent to be
over burdensome, but it is our intent to bring structures back in compliance
for the safety of those who occupy it. We need to inspect these buildings to
make sure they meet code. Mayor Cook suggested that Mr. Brown meet with
code enforcement officers to be specific on what is needed in those structures.
He can then make a decision as to what he needs to do.
Councilman Thomas suggested that he get some people to go through those
older structures to see what can be done to make them up to code. He would
like to see if the standpipe would be required to be placed inside, or
leave it where it is if it meets the health code. Councilman Wilson agreed
that it is a very cumbersome procedure, no matter how you go about it.
Mayor Cook explained that inspectors have already used a great amount
of judgement in this, and they are not requiring anything unreasonable to
make them safe for occupancy. He further stated that Mr. Brown has 30 days
to commence repairs according to the codes, or tear it down, based on his
decision of the cost to repair. Mr. Brown needs to contact the code people
so they can tell him what he needs to do. Councilman Thomas asked Mr. Brown
to get with the Inspection Department to make some suggestions for future use.
Mrs. Doyle R. Staley, 1906 D East Fort Worth Street, stated that her
husband is disabled. They are in the process of selling the property.
The new owner gave them the, money for permits to tear down the garage.
She stated they will start on it tomorrow. Mayor Cook requested that
she get with the Code Enforcement Department so they can explain what is
needed.
ORDINANCE NO. 25-85
ORDINANCE CLOSING HEARING AND FINDING CERTAIN BUILDINGS AND/OR STRUC-
TURES TO BE DANGEROUS: COMMANDING PROPERTY OWNERS TO REPAIR OR
DEMOLISH SAID BUILDINGS AND/OR STRUCTURES WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS
OF THE DATE OF THIS ORDINANCE AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.

Ayes: Mayor Cook, Councilmen Swift, Thomas, Harper, Wilson, Palmer, and
Welburn
Nays: None
Item 8b
The public hearing was opened on Lake Arrowhead Rules and Regulations.
RESOLUTION NO. 32-85
RESOLUTION AMENDING RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR LAKE ARROWHEAD TO
PROVIDE FOR ANNUAL CHARGE TO LOT LESSEES TO FUND ROADWAY REPAIRS
AND REFUSE COLLECTION; SETTING AMOUNT OF ANNUAL CHARGE FOR PERIOD
FROM JUNE 1 , 1985, TO JUNE 1 , 1986.
Moved by Councilman Thomas that Resolution No. 32-85 be passed.
Motion seconded by Councilman Palmer.
Mr. Bonnett stated that there are 595 lots and 565 of them are leased.
Four hundred (400) are actually occupied on a full or part time basis.
We are going with the number of lots actually leased. Councilman Harper
confirmed that this charge would be in addition to what they pay for
lot lease. Mr. Berzina stated they would range from $248 to $260. Mr.
Bonnett stated that they would close the landfill . It involves a long
process. They would take steps immediately to physically close it.
673
Item 8b, cont'd.
Councilman Palmer confirmed that they would close the road leading to
the landfill .
Mr. Bonnett stated that it will cost approximately $53,000 for paving
and partial reconstruction of about one-half mile. There will be on-going
repairs made in the future. They will have once-a-week curbside garbage
pickup. It will be done by private haulers. Once the landfill is closed,
he believes we can operate within the $100 per year for each lessee.
Councilman Thomas stated that $20.00 per month is pretty inexpensive
for rental , road repair, and garbage pickup. Mr. Bonnett stated that they
have drafted a proposal for reconstruction alternatives of the roads.
Mayor Cook stated that if this is done in later years, the residents
should be assessed further. Mr. Bonnett stated that in the future the
leases may need to be increased. Mr. Hursh stated that the lease payments
are due on June 1 , and delinquent on June 30. If it is not paid, they
will proceed to cancel their lease. City Attorney H. P. Hodge stated
that they have 60 days to move their improvements.
Councilman Thomas asked if we are going to inspect these lots before
June 1 to see if they are in compliance with the lease? Mr. Berzina stated
that it will take a task force effort to inspect and make sure they are
in compliance before the leases are renewed on June 1 .
Councilman Wilson stated that if any are not leased, he would hope
that document would come back to the Council to make sure it meets all the
requirements. He also asked if we would have any money before the contractor
needs to be paid? Mr. Bonnett stated that the contractor would need money
in 30 days. Councilman Wilson stated that we are financing this project for
our neighbors in Clay County to accommodate them. He does not believe it
is the responsibility of the citizens of Wichita Falls to finance it
on a reconstruction project, but at this point we will be financing it for
them.
Virgil Duffy appeared as Chairman of the Lake Arrowhead Association, stating
that they would like to study this proposal the Council has made and seek
further advice. Mayor Cook and Councilman Harper both stated that this is
not a proposal . It is a resolution. Councilman Thomas stated that he
hoped we made them happy. Councilman Palmer expressed his concern about the
expenditure of $53,000 after the remarks made by Mr. Duffy.
The motion for passage of the resolution was carried by the following vote.
Ayes: Mayor Cook, Councilmen Swift, Thomas, Harper, Wilson, and Welburn
Nays: Councilman Palmer
Item 9a
Councilman Harper noted that he is the architect for Texas Electric
on this project, and he wondered if there would be a conflict of interest.
The alley closing has nothing to do with the project. City Attorney H. P.
Hodge stated that there would be no conflict of interest.

LISTED BELOW, AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.
Moved by Councilman Thomas that Ordinance No. 28-85 be passed, and that
we go all the way to collect this $53,120 from the Lake Arrowhead lessees.
Motion seconded by Councilman Harper, and carried by the following vote.
Ayes: Mayor Cook, Councilmen Swift, Thomas, Harper, Wilson, Palmer, and
Welburn
Nays: None
Item l0a
Discussion was held on a proposed resolution determining the general prevail -
ing rate of per diem wages in the City of Wichita Falls. A motion was made by
Councilman Thomas, and seconded by Councilman Welburn, for passage of the resolution.
Councilman Harper commented on the law pertaining to this. Any governmental
body is required to do this. Any projects which have federal funds in it
have to use the Davis-Bacon Act. He and Sam Grove also commented on the meet-
ings with the school and county officials. The only problem he has with this
is that most of the electricians, iron workers, carpenters, etc. are members
of the local union, so that the local union rates would be the prevailing rates
in most categories. That is not what they got back, and what is shown. A list
of prevailing wage rates was published for an area until about two years ago.
They sent out cards, and took one vote for one card. We might want to delay
acting on this until we can get a written request into the Attorney General to
determine whether we want to take it by the number of people who pay, or the
number who are paid. The City has done everything we know how to do on this.
Moved by Councilman Harper that this be tabled for at least one more
council meeting for a written opinion from the Attorney General 's office.
Councilman Wilson wondered if we could pass it and modify it if we find
it needs to be modified? He suggested that we go with the average.
No second to the motion to table was received.
Councilman Harper stated that by state law, or attorney general 's rule,
we don't have to pay fringe benefits. Mr. Grove stated that it was an attorney
general ' s ruling. He also stated that we use the Davis-Bacon wage rate for
everything, including federal .
Moved by Councilman Wilson that we adopt the average in column 3, with
updated figures, until such time as we have better information.
Motion seconded by Councilman Palmer.
Harold White appeared, who is with the ironworkers union in Wichita Falls.
He stated that AGC members have agreed that they will furnish a rate if the
Council desires to adopt it. Their contract is negotiated with AGC. The
wage rate for ironworkers is $15.45 per hour, including fringe benefits. The
average they are talking about adopting will cut out some of these fringes.
Most of their people are equipped to do commercial building, which requires
more skills. They would hope that Councilman Wilson' s motion would recommend
the AGC rate.
675
Item 10a, cont'd.
Councilman Wilson stated that we are not trying to negotiate his labor
rat
e, but in the marketplace if the rate he has negotiated is less, then
he will not get the same quality of person to do the job. We are not trying
to say whether his rate is fair, or whether it is high or low, but to estab-
lish the rate for city work.
Councilman Harper noted that the Attorney General has stated to an
attorney that you get that survey from the people who pay, rather than the
number who get paid.
Councilman Wilson's motion to establish the average in column 3, with
updated figures, was carried by the following vote.
Ayes: Mayor Cook, Councilmen Thomas, Wilson, and Palmer
Nays: Councilmen Swift, Harper, and Welburn
Moved by Councilman Thomas that the resolution be tabled.
Motion seconded by Councilman Swift, and carried by the following vote.
Ayes: Mayor Cook, Councilmen Swift, Thomas, Harper, Palmer, and Welburn
Nays: Councilman Wilson
Item 10b

Moved by Councilman Harper that Resolution No. 34-85 be passed.
Motion seconded by Councilman Thomas.
Councilman Swift asked if the golf and tennis courts will be included?
Mr. Hursh stated that they are separate charges. The City Attorney stated
that this resolution applies to other than concessionaires, in another
resolution.
The motion was carried by the following vote.
Ayes: Mayor Cook, Councilmen Swift, Thomas , Harper, Wilson, Palmer,
and Welburn
Nays: None
Item 10d
RESOLUTION NO. 35-85
A RESOLUTION RECEIVING THE FINAL REPORT OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE
AND SCHEDULING PUBLIC HEARINGS
676
Item 10d, cont'd.
Moved by Councilman Harper that Resolution No. 35-85 be passed.
Motion seconded by Councilman Thomas.
Councilman Harper commended the Planning Department for their work on
the zoning ordinance. Councilman Thomas stated that he attended all the
hearings, and it seems that a large percentage of people are wanting this
ordinance to be passed, and he hopes we will see more evidence of this at
the two public hearings. Mr. McKinney stated that the Planning Staff has
spent a large number of hours on this.
Bob Balch appeared as Chairman of the Planning Board, stating that they
spent six months on it. Lay members of the committee also worked with them.
He feels they have brought a tailor-made ordinance for Wichita Falls.
Mayor Cook also expressed appreciation for the work done on this ordinance
by many people, and commended them for the dedication and time given to the
City. Councilman Thomas commented that the only expense we have had is for
salaries of our people. There were no outside consultant fees.
The motion was carried by the following vote.
Ayes: Mayor Cook, Councilmen Swift, Thomas, Harper, Wilson, Palmer,
and Welburn
Nays: None

Ayes: Mayor Cook, Councilmen Swift, Thomas, Harper, Wilson, Palmer,
and Welburn
Nays: None
Item llb
Discussion was held on a proposal resolution awarding the contract for
construction of Lake Arrowhead road repair project. A motion was made by Council-
man Thomas, and seconded by Councilman Harper, for its passage.
City Manager James Berzina stated that they started this project in good
faith, and the Lake Arrowhead people they met with indicated that they were
speaking for the Association. Mr. Berzina stated that he is more and more
convinced that if we spend this $53,000 we may eat it. He believes we
should have the money up front, and if we don't get the money, we don't do
the roads. He suggested that we ask the contractor to hold this bid for a
while. We may have to pay a fee. He further stated that they seem to think
the City owns the roads, and he doesn't go along with this. Councilmen
Thomas stated that we are in compliance to assess this because of health and
safety, and if it goes to court we will add those incurred expenses to
the lease.
Councilman Palmer stated that he feels the worst situation we can get
into is if the citizens of Wichita Falls have to pay for it. He now wants
to wait until we get the money up front to pay for this work. He expressed
his concern for the statement made by Mr. Duffy, which amounted to a veiled
threat. Councilman Wilson agreed. Councilman Thomas stated that he does
not want to spend a dime of money that we don't get some benefit from. He
believes a court would uphold it. Councilman Palmer stated that we are
looking at two or three years.
i
677
Item llb, cont'd.
Mayor Cook asked if the improvements are not started until July, what
might the additional cost be? Mr. Bonnett stated that there would be
additional deterioration, but he cannot address how much. The worst of it
is over. Councilman Palmer stated that he would be satisfied if we had a
commitment from the leaseholders. Mr. Berzina stated he did not think it
would be binding, but it would be an indication.
Mayor Cook explained that our option is either to pass or defeat this
resolution. If it is defeated, we have to wait until it is brought up again.
If they do not pay, the City will take back their leases.
Councilman Thomas stated that we have a tremendous investment in these
lots now. He hates to see us keep putting it off. If we don't do this we
will not clean up the lake, raw sewer, and trash dump. Councilman Palmer
states that the City of Wichita Falls taxpayers do not need to spend $50,000
for those lots out there.
Moved by Councilman Palmer that this matter be tabled until the people
out there give us some assurance, such as a promissary note, that they will
pay these charges.
Motion seconded by Councilman Wilson, and carried by the following vote.
Ayes: Mayor Cook, Councilmen Swift, Wilson, Palmer, and Welburn
Nays: Councilmen Thomas and Harper
Jim King appeared, asking if those people out there pay taxes in Clay
County, and why don't they pay for it? Councilman Wilson commented that
that is a good question. He and Councilman Thomas noted that Clay County
is willing to take their money, but not help them.
City Attorney H.P. Hodge stated that the City Council , in the 1960' s,
noted that this property would be annexed, and lots, etc. would 'be paid
for by city taxes. It was annexed, but later was disannexed. (Lake
Arrowhead residents requested disannexation. )

on the film produced by BCI , the landmark, and median improvement projects.
Norma Crane was specifically recognized for the quality of work.
Councilman Thomas commended the Planning Department for their work on
the zoning ordinance
Councilman Harper wondered if there is any sentiment on the Council to
consider not leasing any more lots on the lake? The Council desires that
no additional lots be leased until something is settled on it. Councilman
Thomas asked about transfers, and Mr. Hursh stated that this would not in-
clude transfers. The City Manager stated that they plan to go ahead on the
inspections, and close the dump, and assess on the trash.
