Item 7a
A public hearing was opened on the paving of an alley north of the Lynwood
East park. No one desired to be heard, and the public hearing was closed.
Councilman Harper noted that the original cost of paving was $7.00 per
foot, and now it is $10.00, and some have indicated that the new cost has
made a difference in the affordability, and he wondered if it could be reduced?
David Zelenok, City Engineer, stated that the $7.00 per foot was a prelim-
inary estimate. There is not much way to decrease the cost, and get the quality.
Asphalt might be cheaper, but probably a toss-up. They normally use concrete
to allow for a flatter surface.
Councilman Harper asked if we put it in one of these programs, and the
people could not pay for it, would we have any other alternative? Mr. Zelenok
stated that he is not aware of any other funds which could be used. The ones
Councilman Harper talked to wanted it in the container program. Councilman
Thomas suggested that we put it on the container program to see if it could
be worked out. Councilman Harper requested that the staff prepare an ordinance
for the container program, and continue to work with them to see if costs
could be reduced.
Director of Public Works George Bonnett stated that they are utilizing
the same standards for alleys, as streets.

Item 8a
Mayor Cook noted that Item 8a has been pulled from the agenda; however,
he offered an opportunity to anyone present to speak to this issue.
Lillian Goodson, 406 Morningside, stated that the district which they
are going to put in will only be 30 feet from her property. It is her belief
that it will ruin the scenery of her house, and she is very much opposed to
having it in there.
Mayor Cook stated that the Zoning Board also required that a licensed
engineer look at it for consideration of erosion, and also a retaining wall
should be put in. Mrs. Goodson also asked if it will be started and finished,
or started and prolonged for six months or more? Mr. McKinney stated that
he cannot address the financial ability of the contractor to complete it.
Prior to doing any cutting on the hill , they would be required to present
plans for approval . It was asked if they do stop work at any time, could
the erosion be controlled at that time? Mr. McKinney stated they might want
j to look at bonding requirements. Councilman Thomas stated that erosion could
endanger the property. She would like to know that the property will not
be left in a condition to endanger her property. Mayor Cook stated that a
bond could be provided to take care of that.
David Hale, 135 Pembroke, asked if this development falls through, will
it turn into general commercial ? Mayor Cook stated that this is a planned
unit for this particular development, so it will not change the initial zoning,
but only for this specific development. Mr. McKinney stated that it is tied
into this exact plan. Any deviation would have to be approved by the City.
Mayor Cook noted that Mrs. Goodson and Mr. Hale will be notified when
this is placed back on the agenda.

RESOLUTION NO. 143-85
AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO NEGOTIATE AND EXECUTE A PROFESSIONAL
SERVICE CONTRACT WITH A GOLF COURSE MANAGEMENT FIRM
Moved by Councilman Wilson that Resolution No. 143-85 be passed, award-
ing the contract to Recreation Development and Management.
Motion seconded by Councilman Palmer.
Councilman Wilson noted that the request for initiation of proposals
came from several sources. The golf course subcommittee made some recommenda-
tions. Bill Jeter was concerned that the proposals had not been brought to
the Parks Board for their consideration. He explained to him that budget
and management functions are not in the realm of responsibility or authority
45
Item 9d, cont'd.
of the Parks Board.
Councilman Thomas stated that he had spoken with the Parks Board on this.
As far as he knows, they know everything that has been going on. He does
not believe they have any responsibility in the funding. Councilman Wilson
invited Mr. Jeter to look at the proposals. Mayor Cook noted that this is
a Council decision, and not one for the Parks Board. Charges for the Texas-
Oklahoma tournament were discussed. Councilman Wilson noted that his intent
is to provide the best facility for those in this community who play golf.
Marty Streiff, President of Recreation Development and Management, stated
that they would be receptive to look at annual fees. They normally have them
for seniors and juniors, but they would be willing to look at others. They
want to work with interested groups. Councilman Thomas noted that the ladies
are still concerned about a restroom on the back nine. Mr. Streiff stated
that they would address that. Mr. Barrett stated that they sell very few
annuals except for seniors.
Paul Capcart, American Golf Association, stated that he had been at Weeks
Park for four months. He stated that American Golf has a good reputation
in management of golf courses. He asked if the Council had seen the golf
courses of their competitors, and talked to their employees? Councilman Wilson
answered in the affirmative, stating that they had seen the golf course in
Austin. Mr. Capcart stated that if they consider capital improvements, they
will see that American Golf is the best.
City Manager James Berzina stated that they are not saying that American
Golf would not do a good job. They had an intangible feeling that Recreation
Development and Management might do a better job. Their revenue picture is
a little better. American Golf knew when they came in that they would be
paid for their work, and that it would be a proposal situation. Councilman
Wilson felt both companies would do a good job for the City.
Assistant City Manager Edward Barrett explained that the terms of the
contract would include 10 years with an additional five years, and a five-
year option to make some changes in the terms and conditions, if they so desired.
Councilman Harper asked if problems could be discussed, and Mr. Barrett stated
that they could be. He feels during the first year there would be a lot of
contact with Mr. Bonnett, Mr. Berzina, and himself, but eventually they feel
it will be placed back under the Parks Department. Mr. Barrett stated that
a lot of these things will be taken care of by the market. Fees will come
back to the Council .
The motion was carried by the following vote.
Ayes: Mayor Cook, Councilmen Swift, Thomas, Harper, Wilson, Palmer, and
Welburn
Nays: None
Item 9e
RESOLUTION NO. 144-85
RESOLUTION SUPPORTING ADOPTION OF THE NEW TEXAS WATER PLAN AT THE NOVEM-
BER 5, 1985, CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS ELECTION
Moved by Councilman Harper that Resolution No. 144-85 be passed.
Motion seconded by Councilman Palmer.
Councilman Harper suggested that we begin to adapt our codes for water
conservation, such as a three-gallon water closet, rather than a five-gallon.
Mayor Cook agreed.
The motion was carried by the following vote.
Ayes: Mayor Cook, Councilmen Swift, Thomas, Harper, Wilson, Palmer, and
Welburn
Nays: None

Motion seconded by Councilman Palmer, and carried by the following vote.
Ayes: Mayor Cook, Councilmen Swift, Thomas, Harper, Wilson, Palmer, and
Welburn
Nays: None
Item l0a
Councilman Harper asked about provisions for retirees in the budget.
The City Manager stated that on January 1 , 1983, the Council adopted
a 50 percent increase in the Consumer Price Index at the time of retirement.
We have to update this periodically to stay where we are. Various options
were discussed. Any of this is over the status of what we have now.
Personnel Officer Jan Stricklin stated that if we do not update them
this year, they are actually losing. This is for the 178 people already retired.
The more the retirement, the less the dollar increase. The retirees have
not kept up because of inflation. Without calculating it, she guessed they
would be at 50 percent in 1986, if they had been increased the same as the
current employees. She feels it should be addressed each year so that we
don't get so far behind. Mayor Cook feels it should be looked at in the budget
process.
The City Manager stated that if there is interest in pursuing it, they
can go back into the budget. Let the staff know which level , and they will
try to find the money.
Mrs. Stricklin explained that it would go into effect on January 1, 1986,
but the Council would have to approve it before that time. Mr. Berzina stated
that they would address it, and come back to the Council before that time.
Councilman Harper noted that additional appointments to the Board of
Adjustments and Appeals were needed. He suggested that these people that
we name would meet with them each time so they will know what is going on,
even if they cannot vote. Mayor Cook asked the media to announce that we
need applications for alternates on the Board of Adjustments and Appeals.
Councilman Thomas asked about classical music on the cable. Mayor Cook
suggested that the franchise be looked at on their proposals for requested
changes.

Item 9b
RESOLUTION NO. 147-85
RESOLUTION RECOGNIZING MBANK WICHITA FALLS AS A PARTICIPATING BANK FOR
CITY'S DEPOSITS, AND AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF A DEPOSITORY CONTRACT WITH
SUCH BANK
Moved by Councilman Wilson that Resolution No. 147-85 be passed.
Motion seconded by Councilman Harper.
The City Attorney explained the difference in this type of depository,
and the managing depository.
Councilman Thomas feels that we are muddying the water too far, and our
money needs to be somewhere else today. He would like to study the Interfirst
proposal . If you don't bid, how will you determine where you put the money?
Fred Werner, Chief Accounting Officer, stated that Parker Square bid 95 percent
of the T-bill rate. They would solicit a quotation from all the three banks
two days in advance.
I
Brent Gantz, from MBank , stated that they could bid on the bills, and
work with the managing depository. It is possible that they could bid a T-bill ,
plus a percentage cost. Mr. Werner stated that what we are doing with the
MBank today is that they would have the right to submit a quotation on time
deposits. Councilman Thomas stated that our contracts ran out last night
at midnight. Mr. Gantz stated that they felt it was in the best interest
of MBank to only participate in the participatory depository contract, and
not the management contract. The City Attorney agreed that they responded
as a participating depository. The law requires that we put our money only
in banks in which we have a depository contract. We can get the benefit of
the higher rate by doing this. The managing depository makes it clear that
they can handle demand deposits, provide banking services, and also take time
deposits.
Councilman Harper noted that we have a bid from Parker Square at 95 percent;
MBank at 101 percent, and Interfirst stated they will tell us each time.
Mr. Werner stated that he will take the highet bid. Councilman Thomas asked
how long it will take to make back the $165,000 if we don't take the Interfirst
bid? Councilman Harper noted that Proposal 2-A pretty well states where they
are. Councilman Thomas stated that he hates to give up some money, and hope
to get it back.
Mr. Werner stated that he could call Interfirst and have them come up,
and give the Council their position on it.
Councilman Wilson noted that this does not lock us into 9
an thin it
anything;
just gives us an option. Parker Square chose to lock in at 95 percent. The
other two banks chose to give us a bid each time. Councilman Swift stated
that if Parker Square is locked into 95 percent, then the other banks could
bid 96 percent, and they would be locked out.
A motion was made by Councilman Harper to table this matter. The motion
was not seconded.
Councilman Wilson stated that he was the one who wanted to put this out
for bids again.
Mayor Cook suggested that Mr. Werner check with Parker Square to see
if they want to offer something else.
City Manager James Berzina stated that during the contract, Interfirst
issued CD's, and now they are wanting to back off of them, so he does not
see they are doing us any great favor. Mayor Cook asked if they can cancel
CD' s already issued? The City Attorney stated that normally they can't.
Councilman Thomas stated that they purchasedit on a 24-month period at a fixed
rate. Mr. Werner has copies of the CD's.
The City Attorney stated that the statute provides that whoever our depos-
itory is, they have to provide security adequate to cover our deposits. The
Council has required 110 percent.
48
Item 9b, cont'd.
Councilman Thomas noted that treasury bills' monies do not stay in Wichita
Falls. Mr. Berzina stated that all they are asking for today is authority
to negotiate for the highest rate. Councilman Harper stated that they will
pay the T-bill rate. They do not say they will purchase T-bills with it.
At this time, representatives of Parker Square Bank and Interfirst Bank
were present. Mayor Cook explained what had happened in previous discussions.
Mr. Tucker, of Parker Square Bank, stated that they would be willing
to make a competitive bid at that time, based on market conditions and maturity.
They will not lock themselves into a specific percentage.
Councilman Thomas stated that he does not understand how we can change
what the minutes said. Mayor Cook noted that they are clarifying what was
said. The City Attorney stated that he did not think the minutes correctly
reflected the action taken. Councilman Thomas stated that he understood it.
Mr. Tucker stated that he understood that they would award the bid on
a managing depository. Whenever the City has money out for deposits, they
will submit a competitive bid secured according to the state statues.
Mayor Cook stated that with Interfirst there were questions by members
of the Council on existing CD's. Mr. Berzina stated that the existing CD
rate does not have an effect on the present CD's, but on those after that
date.
Frank Gibson, attorney for Interfirst, stated that they would submit
a competitive bid for investments and CD' s each time. Mayor Cook stated that
the Chief Accounting Officer has requested an opportunity to request a bid
from each bank when monies are available.
The City Attorney discussed managing and participating depository institu-
tions. The City may solicit CD rate proposals. They can be placed with banks
offering the highest rates. He feels we would be authorized to solicit a
rate from Parker Square.
Councilman Thomas stated that two years from now we need to have a thorough
commitment from the Council on where they are going before the date of the
depository contract.
Jack Jeffus , with Interfirst Bank, asked for clarification of bidding
procedures. Mr. Werner stated that he would call all banks within two minutes,
and ask what rate they would propose. Mr. Jeffus asked if we normally accept
verbal bids. on $40,000,000? Mayor Cook stated that he would consider it a
quote on the going rate for that day. Mr. Gibson stated that the pattern
Midwestern State University has used is that they give notice on Wednesday
that written bids will be taken on Friday. He would feel that banks would
like a more formal arrangement instead of a telephone call . Councilman Harper
stated that he feels it would be better for Mr. Werner, also.
Mr. Gibson asked if we would buy CD's or invest in government securities,
stating that the Council will have to give the Finance Director the authorization
on what to buy. Anytime we are investing the public 's money in anything except
short-term investment, they may be doing something they should not be doing.
Mr. Berzina suggested that written bids be taken on them, and have all
banks come up and open them.
Joe Prothro, of Interfirst Bank, thought that bids of a given amount
have to be awarded by the Council . He asked if it would be the Council ' s
intention Ito award these bids between the three participating banks? City
Attorney H. P. Hodge stated that the state depository laws apply in this situa-
tion. We are, in effect, awarding the contract right now. Mr. Prothro asked
how the bid would be awarded if there is a tie? Mr. Werner stated if they
were the same, it would be only fair to split them. Mr. Prothro stated that
it may be fair, but what is legal ? Councilman Harper stated that the problem
with that is that they may have bid for one million, and there may only be
one-half million.
Mayor Cook stated that if there is a tie, we would want to leave it where
it is. Mr. Prothro noted that it may be new money. The City Attorney stated
that there is something in competitive bidding that states when everything
49
Item 9b, cont'd.
else is equal , you cast lots.
Mr. Prothro suggested that the City supply the maturity date they wanted.
Mr. Werner stated that would be one of the questions - - the amount of money,
and the maturity date. Wire transfers would be used unless it is new money.
Councilman Thomas stated that he is not in favor of jockeying this money
around, and he suggested Interfirst Bank. Anytime you move money there is
a risk. He is worried about our actions.
Mr. Tucker stated that the issue of the managing depository was resolved.
In participating depositories they are requiring a wire transfer on same-day
interest. Money is moved from bank to bank several times a day without any
problem.
Mayor Cook stated that we are not jockeying or pushing money around.
Mr. Werner will use the wire transfer. Mr. Werner stated that all money he
receives has to be put in the depository. If he needs money to move around
he uses a wire transfer, or writes a check. The CD's they currently deal
with come in around 10 or 11 o'clock in the morning.
Councilman Thomas asked what was so confusing that these banks did not
understand the bid in the beginning? Mayor Cook noted there have been some
changes pertaining to a bank giving a fixed bid. Councilman Thomas stated
that the contract ran out at midnight last night, with a Now Account, which
is a lot less interest. Mr. Werner stated that the bond procedures last
week were done by a wire transfer. Mr. Jeffus stated there shouldn't be any
loss of revenue when they are making these wire transfers.
Mr. Gibson stated that in future depository contracts, as far as CD's
are concerned, they will have a one-day overlap. CD' s will not be written
to the end of the contract year.
Councilman Harper asked if all our money will be invested in these three
banks, or will we purchase treasury bills? Mr. Werner stated that he thinks
the Council has given him authority to purchase treasury bills where he can
get the best rate. It would be a wire transfer. Councilman Harper stated
that he would hope that we would put 100 percent of our money in these three
banks only.
Councilman Swift stated that it seems they are making a multitude of
participating depositories. He stated that they can sell treasury bills.
The three banks in town should handle it all . Mayor Cook stated that it is
our intention to get the highest rate for our money.
Councilman Thomas asked if we had any money today that came due at midnight?
Mr. Werner stated that it comes due October 4, and 7, 1985. Mr. Werner and
Mr. Jeffus stated that the bank would guarantee the T-bill rate if the CD
rate is lower. Mayor Cook and Councilman Harper agreed that we cannot afford
to gamble with our money. Mr. Jeffus stated that there is some question of
authority for the City to purchase T-bills. Mayor Cook requested the City
Attorney to look into this.
The motion for passage of Resolution No. 147-85 was carried by the following
vote.
Ayes: Mayor Cook, Councilmen Swift, Harper, Wilson, Palmer, and Welburn
Nays: Councilman Thomas (Not because of the bank, but because of the way we
are handling it. )

Nays: Councilman Thomas
Councilman Harper would like the purchase to be restricted to one of
the participating banks, rather than an outside bank. The City Attorney
will make this a part ofi.his report.
Mr. Gibson asked if the Council has a set perimeter on the length of
time of a T-bill ? Mr. Werner stated that he thought it was about one year,
or slightly beyond.
The City Council adjourned at 11:30 A.M.
PASSED AND APPROVED this day of 1985.
