Min 01/19/1988 r 727 Wichita Falls, Texas Memorial Auditorium Building January 19, 1988 Items 1 & 2 The City Council of the City of Wichita Falls, Texas, met in regular session on the above date in the Council Room of the Memorial Auditorium Building at 5: 30 O'clock P.M. , with the following members present. Charles Harper Mayor John Hirschi Charles Thomas Angus Thompson Ruth Ann Allred Councilmen Ron Buffum Don Kirkham James Berzina City Manager H. P. Hodge City Attorney Wilma J. Thomas City Clerk Fred L. Werner Chief Accounting Officer The invocation was given by Merrell Johnson, Anderson Chapel AME Church. Charles Harper, Mayor, read a poem by George Elliott. A third grade class from Ben Franklin School was present. Their teacher, Mrs. Fulkerson, explained that they study city government, and how it operates. The Mayor and City Councilmen from Aggietown were introduced, and briefly took their places in the chairs of the City Council. They were as follows: Mayor Becky Hogan, Councilmen Meredith Parham, Jason Mayfield, Jonathan Redd, Laura Buffum, Katje Lerew, and Nandina Chaturvedula. Item 3 Moved by Councilman Thomas that minutes of the meeting held January 5, 1988 , be approved. Motion seconded by Councilman Kirkham, and carried unanimously. Item 4a Joe Boyd, 4506 Hughes, representing MHMR addressed a proposal for a multi-materials recycling center in Wichita Falls. He showed a video of the center in Waco. He stated that they have found a market for it, but the problem is land. He stated that it would save the city sanitation department $16,000 to $18,000 annually on refuse charges. He stated that MHMR does not have any funds for start-up costs, so they would need assistance from local people and the City for paving, which was estimated at $60 ,000 to $70,000. The total set-up cost would probably be around $100 ,000 . This would not be recoverable. If they had the land and paving they could probably secure other costs. Recertification from the Department of Health would be a problem. Councilman Hirschi noted that recyclable material is going into the transfer station now. He mentioned land behind the transfer station that might be used to drop off this material before it goes into the trash. 728 Item 4a (Cont) Mr. Bonnett stated that, in general, they are supportive of the concept. Anything that can be done to protect the space at the landfill is a very real commodity. The transfer station is a mixed bag. There is enough space, but it is a very tightly permitted facility. It would cost $10,000 to prepare the amendment. The permitting would make it not so desirable. It would require several public hearings, etc. Charles Harper, Mayor, asked that Mr. Boyd come back with a proposal. Councilman Thomas noted that a location with paving already on it would make this project much less expensive. Councilman Thompson did not recall them ever saying they would do this. He hopes they have more information before they make the plunge. Item 4b Councilman Buffum referred to a letter from Jim Snowden on alcohol and drug abuse, stating that there is something going on in Austin that may help us get a detox center. He hopes to find out tomorrow if this has been approved for Wichita Falls. Councilman Hirschi asked about the resolution on employee of the month. Mr. Berzina explained that he needed to prepare a memo to the Council on this. Councilman Hirschi addressed costs for a rebuilt tennis court as opposed to three-year resurfacing. Mr. Berzina explained that a life of twelve years was possible on a rebuilt court. Councilman Hirschi noted that you could resurface it seven times for the same cost of rebuilding it one time. Mr. Berzina explained that by doing this, they hope to get the tournament again for many years. They could put some of the equities into this project. He would like to discuss it at a work session on February 4 , 1988. Councilman Hirschi asked about the salary for the library administrator. Mr. Berzina explained that the starting range is $29 , 000 to $30 ,000 . It is not unusual to begin at the "C" step. It is a Range 25. They plan to hire someone before they know what they are going to do with the library study. Councilman Hirschi stated that a local librarian seemed to think it might require someone at a higher level. Mr. Berzina stated that we have a very complicated study, and we need a professional librarian to assist in advising and working with the study. The timetable is to get the professional librarian as soon as possible. Councilman Thomas complimented the Street Department on the sanding of the streets during the ice storm. It saved the people of Wichita Falls millions of dollars in wrecks, etc. Councilman Buffum mentioned the tragedy in Bowie where children fell into ponds. Jack Murphy stated that most of our ponds in the parks are only four feet deep. As for as any other way to prevent it, signs are installed. In the Bowie situation, it was private property. They will just have to keep watching it. i 729 Item 4b (Cont) The Council decided on a work session on economic development to be held on January 29, with the BCI and Midwestern State University, beginning at 5: 30 P.M. , at the Sheraton Hotel.

A motion was made by Councilman Thompson, and seconded by Councilman Hirschi, for its passage. Willie Vaughn, 3210 Iowa Park Road, stated that he does not feel that this ordinance is fair and just. He stated that he wondered about the rationale of writing this ordinance and limiting it to such a small number of businesses. He discussed various sections, stating that if a $100 license is justified here, he believes it is justified from each and every business in the city. Claude Robertson, 2300 Jasper, stated that he has a fence. The state and federal government cannot force him to put up a fence, and asked how the city can do so? City Attorney H. P. Hodge stated that he presumes that under the police powers of the city they have the authority to preserve the health, safety, and welfare of the city. Mr. Robertson stated that this ordinance will put some yards under. He would like to see the number of vehicles raised to ten. He also asked if the waste provision would apply to oil fields as well? Mr. Hodge stated that he understands it as applying to motor vehicle junk or motor vehicle salvage yards. Motor vehicle modifies both salvage and junk yards. Mayor Pro ten Thomas announced that the Mayor and Councilman Thompson had to leave to go make a presentation. Moved by Councilman Kirkham that this ordinance be tabled, and work it out with Mr. Hodge and the people here as to how it should read, to include all salvage and junk. Motion seconded by Councilman Buffum, and carried by the following vote. Ayes: Councilman Thomas, Allred, Buffum, and Kirkham 731 Item 9a (Cont) i Nays: Councilman Hirschi Mayor Pro ten Thomas stated to those present that he does not think the citizens of Wichita Falls will let this lay.

Motion seconded by Councilman Hirschi. James Esther, 1615 Grayfox, stated that they are in agreement with it. Councilman Hirschi asked about a parking lot. Mr. Murphy stated that it would be difficult to add because of the slope. Councilman Hirschi also asked about the spring. Mr. Murphy noted that this does not address the spring in the street. Councilman Hirschi would like to see it addressed. He also mentioned landscaping, trail, and path material. Mr. Murphy stated that they are proposed as concrete trails. Councilman Hirschi would like to see some experimenting with materials other than concrete. Councilman Buffum asked if we could get test results from other cities, rather than experiment ourselves? Councilman Thomas noted that it will fill up with dirt in this climate. The motion was carried by the following vote. Ayes: Councilmen Hirschi, Thomas, Allred, Buffum, and Kirkham Nays: None Item 8b No one requested to be heard in the public hearing on Bridwell Park.

The motion was carried by the following vote. Ayes: Councilman Hirschi, Thomas, Allred, Buffum, and Kirkham Nays: None Item 9c Ordinance No. 9-88 AN ORDINANCE REZONING LOTS 14B, 16A, 17, 18, 19, BLOCK 2, SCURRY ADDITION, WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS, FROM SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, STANDARD LOT TO A LIMITED COMMERCIAL ZONE Moved by Councilman Buffum that Ordinance No. 9-88 be passed. Motion seconded by Councilman Hirschi. Kirk Bagby, 825 Reynolds Lane, requested approval for general commercial. Mr. McKinney explained that there would be about a month delay for limited commercial. The benefits of limited commercial were discussed, as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission. It is zoned Single Family Two. Mr. Bagby would have to come back for conditional use approval. Moved by Councilman Buffum that they substitute limited commercial wording because there are some residences in the area. Motion seconded by Councilman Allred. (Charles Harper, Mayor, returned at this time. ) The motion was carried by the following vote. Ayes: Charles Harper, Mayor, Councilmen Hirschi, Thomas, Allred, Buffum, and Kirkham Nays: None r 733 Item 9d A proposed ordinance was presented rezoning certain lots in Cannon Park Addition from heavy commercial to residential mixed use. A motion was made by Councilman Hirschi, and seconded by Councilman Kirkham, for discussion. Mr. Berzina handed out the results of notification. Mr. McKinney stated that 24. 9 percent were opposed, and passage would require six votes. Planning and Zoning recommended that it be denied. This is all heavy commercial.

Motion seconded by Councilman Hirschi. Councilman Thomas stated that the only thing that worries him is that it is for eighteen months. He would hate to see them come back after that time for continued funding. We have other agencies in the city that do these things. Mr. Barrett stated that CAC will fund it for the second eighteen months. Herb Taber discussed CAC' s plans for funding for the second eighteen months. He noted that they are concerned with transitional housing. They propose to provide assistance for families for a 30-90 day period. The only question that was raised when he discussed it was the possibility of CAC not being able to carry out the program. He assured that they can. The application for $72,000 would be submitted by the City of Wichita Falls. They have been involved in contracts with the City for fifteen years. The program requires that there be a dollar for dollar match. He requested that the City authorize submission of this resolution for the City to be a grantee to pass through the $72,000 to CAC. CAC will continue it for the second eighteen months of the three-year period. The City would monitor the provisions of the contract. Mr. Berzina asked if CAC is going into this with the idea that they will continue it after eighteen months, and will the City be expected to put any money into this program? Mr. Taber stated that they did not intend for the City of Wichita Falls to put any money into the program. Councilman Kirkham clarified that if we get some money, the City will be the grantee, and we would give it to CAC. Councilman Buffum asked if the recipients will be City of Wichita Falls people or transients? Mr. Taber stated that what they have in mind are families who no longer can afford to pay their rent or make a house payment. 735 Item 10c (Cont) Councilman Allred questioned the responsibility of the City, and if we are setting any sort of precedent of the City representing any other non-profit corporation to secure financial responsibility, where are we then? Is the City' s reputation in danger, or at stake? Mr. Berzina commented that if there is not a cash funding mechanism at the end of the first eighteen month period. First Step is not asking for enough money for them to get it if CAC is not granted. (Councilman Thompson returned at this time. ) Mr. Taber stated that since 1965 they have never defaulted on a program. If they did, the City would be responsible for a portion of those grant funds. He mentioned that food bank and family planning programs which became permanent operations. It is their firm belief that they will not have any difficulty in operating this program. Councilman Buffum stated that he was not being critical of CAC, but concerned about the City incurring any responsibility. The motion included a change in Paragraph Five from $72,487. 69 to $74 ,119. 69. Councilman Thompson noted that he did not participate in the discussion, nor would he vote. The motion was carried by the following vote. Ayes: Charles Harper, Mayor, Councilmen Hirschi, Thomas, Allred, Buffum, and Kirkham Nays: None Resolution No. 20-88 RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE SUBMISSION OF A TEXAS EMERGENCY SHELTER GRANTS PROGRAM APPLICATION TO THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ACT AS THE CITY' S EXECUTIVE OFFICE AND AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE IN ALL MATTERS PERTAINING TO THE CITY' S PARTICIPATION IN THE EMERGENCY SHELTER GRANTS PROGRAM Moved by Councilman Kirkham that Resolution No. 20-88 be passed. Motion seconded by Councilman Hirschi. Mrs. Grimsinger the new director for First Step, requested passage of this resolution. They plan to use it for utilities, a 24-hour phone system, and insurance for their facility for battered women and children. She stated that the services of First Step are escalating. Councilman Buffum asked, if this is approved, would she come back next year for operational funds? She stated that she is not sure. She is new here. The motion was carried by the following vote. Ayes: Charles Harper, Mayor, Councilmen Hirschi, Thomas, Thompson, Allred, Buffum, and Kirkham Nays: None Item lla Moved by Councilman Thomas that the bid for a hydraulic excavator for the transfer station be awarded to Waukesha Pierce Industries, Inc. , in the amount of $100,551. 736 Item 11a (Cont) Motion seconded by Councilman Buffum. Mr. Barrett and Mr. Parker explained the bid specifications and alternates. Mr. Bonnett stated that he has not addressed forced ventilation because of cost. The cab is included, and is heated and cooled. The motion was carried unanimously. Item 12a Moved by Councilman Thomas that authority be granted to advertise for bids for construction of a greenhouse. Motion seconded by Councilman Buffum. Councilman Thomas asked why Kiwanis Park was chosen. Mr. Murphy explained that it was near their maintenance facility. He also stated that free student use was not available at Midwestern State University. The turnkey price for this structure is $30,000 . Councilman Hirschi was concerned about bringing diseased plants into the greenhouse with healthy plants. Mr. Murphy also stated that Mr. Smith thought he could do it as cheap as the City can. Councilman Hirschi felt we should at least look at the possibility of bidding out a year' s supply of plants at one time to see which can be obtained cheaper. Councilman Thomas commented that we have already voted on the greenhouse. He feels we need it. Mr. Murphy agreed that the greenhouse would give him more flexibility. Councilman Kirkham asked how much a chain link fence would cost to keep vandals out, and Mr. Murphy stated about $1,300. Councilman Kirkham is opposed to a greenhouse being placed in a park unprotected. Security needs to be considered. Councilman Thompson called for the question. It was seconded by Councilman Kirkham, and carried unanimously. The motion to advertise for bids on the greenhouse was carried by the following vote. Ayes: Charles Harper, Mayor, Councilmen Thomas, Thompson, Allred, and Buffum Nays: Councilmen Hirschi and Kirkham Item 13a Discussion was held on fees for solicitor' s and itinerant merchant' s permits. Mr. Berzina explained the reasons for council consideration. Councilman Thomas urged that they leave it alone. Councilman Allred explained that the reason for looking at this was in order to enforce it more. Our merchants are really getting tired of calling in complaints about them being in hotel rooms, corners, etc. Mr. Berzina stated that the Police Department is involved in stopping and checking some of these businesses. The main thing is that our local people are unhappy about people coming in from out of town. Councilman Thomas stated that we are trying to protect the public in the City of Wichita Falls from buying second grade merchandise. Mr. Berzina won' t say that we catch all of them, but enforcement has been stepped up. There is nothing we can do about transients taking money out of the city. i 737 Item 13a (Cont) City Attorney H. P. Hodge backed up Mr. Berzina' s comments about trying to keep merchants out if they are not local. Councilman Allred feels that we have the right to do everything we can to protect our local merchants, and she does not see it here. Chief Harrelson stated that officers and supervisors are watching, plus they answer complaints when they get them. Mr. Berzina noted that our permit ordinance does not get into the quality of the merchandise. They are looked at because of complaints received on them setting up. Councilman Thompson wondered if it is possible to re- write this ordinance to provide for a permit large enough for police officers to see as they drive by. Councilman Kirkham ans Charles Harper, Mayor, noted that the City of Sherman has signs at its city limits indicating that itinerant merchants are required to have permits. It was requested that an ordinance be brought back concerning large permits, signs on the highways, and any interest on sales tax with Bob Bullock' s office. No change was made in the fees. Item 13b Discussion was held on privitization of the farmers market. Mr. Berzina mentioned a memo he had sent to them concerning it. Councilman Hirschi stated that there has been a 300 percent increase in subsidy going into the farmers market. Councilman Thomas asked if Mr. Moser' s salary is charged entirely to the farmers market during the winter. Mr. Berzina stated that last year it was broken down. He is spending more time there than he previously did. Mr. Parks appeared, stating that he would like to keep the market the way it is. The ones you get to run it might not be the best. The man down there has been trained. He mentioned several places he buys from. He will be at the farmers market this year. Councilman Hirschi mentioned the produce stands along the highway between Bowie and Decatur. It seems to be profitable for some people. Someone with a profit motive might do a better job. If they go out for bids, they don' t necessarily have to accept it. Robert Hynson, 2419 Terrace, believes that the cost of operation and the figures on money taken in does not balance. This is not an economical operation, and should be looked at. Mrs. Betty Parks, 307 Taylor, stated that she has been a vendor for ten years. She stated that Mr. Moser was not there last summer. She and two other were opening and closing the market themselves. They still have regular customers that come in at the close of the season. Councilman Buffum asked if she did not feel that it could be operated in such a way that it will work, such as the golf course? She stated that she believes it will fold if anyone else other than Mr. Moser operates it. Councilman Hirschi stated that if we have someone promoting it less than we have today, then you would have to speculate that the revenue would decline. The idea of him cutting down on his time would not increase sales. Councilman Thompson feels it might be worthwhile to talk to the vendors and get input from them. We do have a problem with overhead. Charles Harper, Mayor, stated that it is full most of the year. 738 Item 13b (Cont) Mr. Barrett stated that most of the expenditure is salary. The whole amount of salary is included in the farmers market budget, even when he is working in other departments. He believes we could reduce these figures by $8,000 . Councilman Thomas stated that one problem is lack of crops and vendors. Councilman Kirkham noted that there is a problem either in collecting fees, or raising them. Mr. Barrett stated that dealers sell more than farmers at the market. There is an invoice system. Mrs. Parks stated there are four commercial dealers. Councilman Kirkham stated that he could not see any reason to continue this discussion. It is either privitization or subsidy. It was requested that Mr. Berzina come back with a recommendation on which way we should go. Item 13c Mr. Berzina mentioned the fee for the Wichita Falls Economic Development Corporation set up by Lindsey Walker. He suggested that we honor this in the amount of $3 ,425 . 10 . Councilman Kirkham requested that Mr. Berzina bring back an ordinance at the next council meeting making all meetings day time meetings. Councilman Kirkham mentioned the water sample study given to him by Dr. Cox. This is quite taxing on employee time. He is in favor of not having him produce it if it will take a lot of staff time. Mr. Berzina will check to see if it is a report he currently submits. The City Council adjourned into executive session at 9: 35 P.M. , according to Article 6252-17, Section 2, Paragraphs (e) and (g) of the Revised Civil Statutes. PASSED AND APPROVED this the 41 day of 1988 . Charles Harper, Mayor ATTEST: A, Wilma J. Th mas, CMC/AAE City Clerk
