Motion seconded by Councilman Thomas. 415 Item 6b (Cont. ) Councilman Buffum asked about the two feet for damage areas? Mr. Bonnett explained that all of the army requirements are the same that we were going to pursue anyway. He noted that the study will not include all of the city. The Corps has some severe restrictions on this, and some areas were delineated. Councilman Thomas confirmed that this study will lead to new flood plain and floodway areas in the city. Mr. Bonnett stated that we are able to incorporate the Holliday Creek project with the floodways and flood plains. We will have much more current data. By late spring of 1988, we should have the data so they can proceed with public hearings. The motion was carried by the following vote. Ayes: Charles Harper, Mayor, Councilmen Goff, Thomas, Allred, Buffum, Kirkham, and Walker Nays: None Item 9a A public hearing was opened on a proposed Lone Star Gas Company franchise. Howard Morris, 2015 Berkley, stated that he has a problem with Section 9, where Lone Star will maintain and replace the gas line from the property line to the house, if the meter is at the house. This is taking away what little work is left from the plumbing contractors in the City of Wichita Falls. He believes we have had a system that has worked well in the past. Once the line is installed, it is inspected and approved by the City of Wichita Falls. Lone Star also inspects it. He thinks we have adequate protection now by inspections from both the City and Lone Star. Councilman Goff asked if a line is replaced at the back of the house, does it have to be moved to the front of the house. Mr. Morris stated that if service has to be replaced, the line has to be moved ten feet from the front of the house. Mr. Liles stated that sixty percent of the gas meters are at the house. Forty percent are at the property line. Mr. Morris esti- mated that a good percentage of the plumbers, who work on small repairs would be affected. Councilman Walker asked how the rate of repair is deter- mined? Mr. Morris stated that it is done on an individual basis. He goes out to look at it to see what it will take to replace it. Plumbers are extremely competitive in Wichita Falls right now. Residents shop around for prices. There is no charge for the service line if the meter is at the house. City Attorney H. P. Hodge stated that under the present proposal , the property owners own that service line from the main to the meter. He can hire whoever he chooses to do the work. The gas company has told them they have the option of using a plumber or the gas company. Lone Star can charge a reasonable fee. Under Lone Star' s proposal , they would own the line from the main to the meter. In that case, Lone Star will do the work, and there will be no charge. This will , however, be included in their rate base. He further stated that he does not understand the Railroad Commission order that this has to be done. It was determined for two small cities only - Paducah and Whitewright. Councilman Allred asked if they repair a line, do they take any respon- sibility of guarantee on this line? Mr. Morris stated that he takes respon- sibility in getting it inspected by the City. He also posts a bond, and this carries on with his insurance. The work done by Lone Star Gas on the lines is not subject to inspection by the City. David Liles appeared as Manager for Lone Star Gas Company. He stated that federal rules and regulations apply to owners and operators of the pipeline system transporting gas to the consumer' s meter. Only owners and operators are held accountable for these rules and regulations; not a plumber. To approve a franchise ordinance as submitted by the City Staff, denies them the authority to carry out the federal rules and regulations. Up until the passage of the pipeline safety act, Lone Star was perfectly satisfied. The things that concern him are the aspects other than pressure tests, which are put on at the time of installation. When poly pipe is used, do they inspect that ditch to see if there is anything sharp in it? Do they provide 416 Item 9a (Cont. ) cathodic protection to prevent corrosion? Are the plumbers certified in this work? If an accident occurred, and federal and state inspectors came up to determine the cause, and there was a gas meter close to the house, if they determined that a poly fusion was improperly made before you get to the meter, Lone Star Gas Company will be responsible; yet, they have no authority over plumbers and city inspectors. He referred to Railroad Commission order, in Paragraph 5 of a particular Section, which states that it is not appropriate to charge for work ahead of the meter. Councilman Thomas clarified that what Lone Star wants to do will event- ually impact, or cause a rate change. Mr. Liles stated that it would not immediately affect it, but about nineteen cents per customer, per year, would wind up in the rate change, just like any other investment. City Manager James Berzina stated that the federal and state people are not saying we have to do this. They are saying that if we do, this is the way you have to do it. The City of Wichita Falls does not have to abide by Paragraph 5. Mr. Liles disagreed. Councilman Buffum asked how often his rules and regulations come up for review by the City of Wichita Falls? Mr. Liles stated that they had a twenty-year franchise. It has been about five years since the Council has looked at this. Councilman Buffum was concerned that he had not pursued this five years ago. Charles Harper, Mayor, asked how many cities they have a franchise in? Mr. Liles stated there are 426 in the State of Texas. All but two of those have today agreed that Lone Star Gas Company is the sole one respon- sible for the gas up to the meter. Sherman and Wichita Falls are the two who do not agree. Councilman Kirkham asked how the plumber got to the main? Mr. Liles stated that they only go to the property line. Councilman Thomas asked about our liability if inspectors do not inspect the ditch lines, stating that he has not read anything about ditches. City Attorney H. P. Hodge stated that a plumber will have to be responsible for his actions, if he is negligent in putting it in. In regard to City responsibility, we would be in the same position as we would be on the yard line. We .would have the same responsibility on the service line as we would on the yard line. Councilman Buffum noted that somewhere you are going to have to stop the flow to work on it. Mr. Liles stated that they have a valve tapping procedure. Councilman Allred asked about a compromise, stating that we are talking about safety, and charge to the customer. If there were anyway to get it out of the base rate, and get the charge back to the customer, is there any way for a compromise? She agrees with the paragraph on safety. Mr. Liles stated that there might be a way. He does not know how it would be viewed if they said they would be the sole person doing it, but they would charge the individual customer, and put it in an area where it will offset the rate. He can try to explore this with their legal department, and have them try to determine what they can do. If he read it, he would say they probably could not do it. Mr. Liles stated that most cities were doing it the way Wichita Falls is, before they changed. Councilman Buffum asked about the date of the pipeline safety act, and Mr. Liles stated that it was 1968. Mr. Buffum is still concerned about the delay in raising this question. Councilman Buffum asked if our inspectors visually check what is not covered up? Mr. Berzina and Mr. McKinney confirmed that they do, along with the pressure check. They do not inspect under the Railroad Commission rules. , Howard Morris noted that he believes Mr. Liles has made an over simpli- fication, and has left an impression that he did not mean to leave. He stated that we have excellent plumbing inspectors in the city. They are tough on him, and with others . The inspector checks many things inside the house, as well as outside. Councilman Thomas asked if they feel comfort- able with this responsibility? Mr. Morris replied that they don' t, but it is part of the business. Before Lone Star turns on the gas they look at many of the same things that the inspector does. They also look at water heaters, furnaces, etc. Councilman Thomas confirmed that if there 417 is a problem in the service line from the meter, they won't turn the gas .back on until it is repaired. The public hearing was closed. Item 10a Gail Thompson appeared on behalf of Streams and Valleys, and presented a check to Charles Harper, Mayor, in the amount of $141,459.26, for the waterfall project. It was estimated that the community, working together, donated $200,000 to this project. Charles Harper, Mayor, expressed appreci- ation for the work done. The City Council recessed at 10:20 A.M. , and the meeting resumed at I10:38 A.M. Item lla Discussion was held on a proposed Lone Star Gas Company franchise ord- ! inance. A motion was made by Councilman Goff, for discussion, and seconded by Councilman Buffum. Councilman Goff was concerned that, with her own plumber, she had a little more control over what happened in her own yard. She is concerned , that with Lone Star Gas, she would not have any control with the work being done. Mr. Liles stated that they try to work with the customer to their satisfaction. They do the work in accordance with federal guidelines. Councilman Kirkham asked the City Attorney if it is legal like it presently is, and does not violate federal or state law? Mr. Hodge stated that he does believe that it is legal . If anything is wrong, they are putting the responsibility on Lone Star Gas Company, but he does not read it that we cannot do what we are doing. We are not doing anything illegal . He further stated that if a homeowner hires a plumber to do the work, and it is done wrong, he will look to the plumber. He may also look to Lone Star Gas Company. Federal and State officials, and the Railroad Commission, will look to Lone Star Gas Company. Mr. Liles noted that they make a report to the Railroad Commission on all accidents. It was noted that plumbers are doing very little of the replacement, but most of the new service. Councilman Kirkham asked if the Council passes the ordinance like it is now, are there options which Lone Star would pursue? Mr. Liles stated that he would have to review all of their options. He stated that most gas accidents happen in the home. Councilman Buffum is concerned that the liability of the company started in 1968, and here we are nineteen years down the road. He does not see where the consumer will receive any more protection, but he does see where Lone Star can broaden their base. He is concerned that for nineteen years the plumbers have been maintaining the safety of the service. Mr. Liles stated that they tried to get it changed, starting back in 1982. Moved by Councilman Allred that this matter be tabled until the next meeting, because of safety considerations, and the authority of charging the customer for this work, to give Mr. Liles time to talk to the people in his legal department. Motion seconded by Councilman Goff, and carried by the following vote. Ayes: Charles Harper, Mayor, Councilmen Goff, Walker, Allred, and Kirkham Nays: Councilmen Thomas and Buffum Charles Harper, Mayor, requested a sample of the wording of both ord- inance considerations. Item llb Discussion was held on a proposed ordinance to allow fences in the front yards of single-family and duplex residential lots. A motion was 418 Item llb (Cent. ) made by Councilman Walker, and seconded by Councilman Goff, for its passage. Councilman Kirkham stated that he has a problem with a solid fence, and some problem with a chain link fence. He favors the rails. Jim King, 417 Willow Drive, asked what kind of fence we are talking about? Charles Harper, Mayor, explained the type of fence, and a picture was shown to him. Mr. King stated that he believes this would be a dis- traction and detriment to the area, and very unsightly. He cannot conceive of any advantage in putting a fence in the front yard of any home. It would be a disadvantage in case of a fire. A permit has not been required in the past to put up a fence. He believes we should maintain our present standard of a 25-foot setback from the property line. Councilman Goff asked how we would control that these fences would look like what we approve? Mr. McKinney stated that a permit is not required, but they will furnish the ordinance to the fence companies. It was noted that many individuals install their own fences. Mr. McKinney stated that if we require a permit, he would want a closing survey to make sure the fence is properly placed. That cost would be about $50.00. Councilman Buffum stated that he had seen very few fence complaints before Planning and Zoning. It was noted that some developers are wanting to use decorative fencing in new subdivisions. Councilman Buffum stated that there would be no way for neighbors to oppose these fences if they did not want them. Mr. McKinney agreed. Mrs. Ozuna opposed the ordinance. Councilman Thomas noted that he doesn't like front-yard fences. It would be difficult to get into a home with an emergency vehicle. The motion failed by the following vote. Ayes: Councilmen Goff, Allred, and Kirkham Nays: Charles Harper, Mayor, Councilmen Thomas, Walker, and Buffum Item llc ORDINANCE NO. 2-87 AN ORDINANCE REZONING LOTS 1-7 & 32-42, BLOCK 15, MIDWESTERN PARK SUBDIVISION, WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS, AND ADJACENT AREA, FROM GENERAL COMMERCIAL TO SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, STANDARD LOT ZONE Moved by Councilman Goff that Ordinance No. 2-87 be passed. Motion seconded by Councilman Buffum. Councilman Buffum noted that Mr. Seabury withdrew his objections to this the day after the last night council meeting in which it was tabled for him to discuss this with the property owners. The motion was carried by the following vote. Ayes: Charles Harper, Mayor, Councilmen Goff, Thomas, Allred, Buffum, Kirkham, and Walker Nays: None Item lld ORDINANCE NO. 3-87 ORDINANCE APPROPRIATING $4,283.58 FROM THE SANITATION FUND AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY Moved by Councilman Thomas that Ordinance No. 3-87 be passed. 419 Item lld (Cont. ) Motion seconded by Councilman Buffum.

Motion seconded by Councilman Thomas. Councilman Goff asked if she can be assured that there will not be any end of the month billing on this system? Mr. McKinney stated that it will not be tied in with the general ledger. It will be used only for tracking permits. He stated that Euless and Grapevine are satisfied with the software. He feels this system will do the job that they need, with a growth potential built in., Mr. Barrett stated that they have been upgrading the training of this equipment.

Mr. Berzina stated that Senator Farabee wants to take a bill to Austin that he can pass. Councilman Kirkham noted that Judge Gipson favors the wording proposed by Judge Gillen. Councilman Walker asked Judge Gillen who he discussed this with since the last meeting? Judge Gillen stated he had discussed it with Mr. Berzina, Councilman Kirkham, and Judge Bacus (by telephone) . Councilman Walker pointed out that the purpose of postponement from the last meeting was for him to receive input from the judges, and to give them an opportunity to speak on it. He stated that the judges don' t have any problem with the suggested language. Moved by Councilman Buffum that the resolution be amended to delete the phrase, "a copy of which is attached and made a part hereof" . 421 i i Item 12e (Cont. ) Motion seconded by Councilman Thomas, and carried unanimously. The motion for passage of Resolution No. 8-87, as amended, was carried ' by the following vote. Ayes: Charles Harper, Mayor, Councilmen Goff, Thomas, Allred, Buffum, Kirkham, and Walker Nays: None Item 12f RESOLUTION NO. 9-87 RESOLUTION ACCEPTING BID OF PANGAEA PROPERTIES, INC.

Ayes: Charles Harper, Mayor, Councilmen Goff, Thomas, Allred, Buffum, Kirkham, and Walker Nays: None Item 13b Bids were considered on an annual requirement of pipe repair clamps and tapping saddles. Moved by Counci:Tman Goff that the bid be awarded to Bailey Meissner Company, in the amount of $49,693.34. Motion seconded by Councilman Buffum. Mr. Meissner stated that he is very pleased to be recommended for award of this bid. Powerseal is another local company, which they purchase the products from. He stated that he does not know whether this bid includes the option to accept this same proposal for the next three years. City Attorney H. P. Hodge stated that he has a problem with awarding a three-year contract. There is some question that we can do this. Mr. Bonnett stated that they run several orders through that exceed the $5,000 limit. Councilman Thomas previously made a motion for a three-year contract, but withdrew it, stating that he would like to purchase the materials, as needed. 422 Item 13b (Cont. ) Mr. Berzina stated that we lock up the price to secure the bid for one year. The problem of not taking bids on an annual basis is you never knew what the price was going to be. The Council realized they would save money if they contracted with just one vendor for these projects. Mr. Meissner stated that they are willing to enter into an agreement, on down the line, that they will continue for three years at the same price. Mr. Hodge will look into it. The motion was carried unanimously. Item 13c Bids were considered for two lime slaker feeder systems for Cypress plant. Moved by Councilman Allred that the bid be awarded to ChemPac Systems, Inc. , in the amount of $47,042. Motion seconded by Councilman Goff, and carried unanimously. Item 14a Councilman Buffum asked about a problem of sewage leaking and winding up in Holliday Creek. Mr. Bonnett stated that the crews checked, and found an area near California Street. They found some visual contamination, con- sisting of five acres of storm water, with some sewage contamination. They pumped the water through the lift station. He stated that this area is private property. Technically, they probably should not have gone into the area, but it would not have been resolved without them going into there. Mr. Bonnett stated that it is an overgrown area through time and neglect. Charles Harper, Mayor, commended Mr. Bonnett and his staff. Councilman Thomas asked if we are still looking a low water crossing on California? Mr. Bonnett stated that the plans of the Corps do not include any kind of a crossing. In future capital improvements, the Council may look at it. Any action taken now will be lost because the channel is presently shifting south. There is an identical situation on Jasper Street. It was noted that every lift station is checked everyday by someone. Charles Harper, Mayor, asked Mr. Berzina how work is progressing on a report for garbage in plastic bags? Mr. Berzina stated that they are looking at it now. The water retention ordinance was mailed out a couple of months ago, and they have had no response. Charles Harper, Mayor, announced that at 2:00 P.M. today, the Council will attend the funeral of Fire Chief Jameson. There is a great deal of regret and sadness over the loss of him. Items 14b, c The City Council recessed into executive session at 12:25 P.M. , according to Article 6252-17, Section 2, Paragraph (g) , of the Revised Civil Statutes.
