Councilor Thompson wonders if the property at 1100 Harding could be placed back on the tax rolls for sale. He hates to see it set there as a scar on the neighborhood. Councilor Hirschi asked the reason for transferring money from the Police Department when they are asking for above current funding? Mr. Berzina addressed this matter. Councilor Barenberg asked if we budget, not expecting to use the funds? Mr. Berzina explained that monies left will go back into the equity funds. They budget expecting to fill all vacancies. It builds up during the months they do not have anyone in those positions in which they have experienced turnover. The motion carried by the following vote.

Motion seconded by Councilor Hirschi. Discussion was held on the request of the G.I. Forum to charge a $2. 00 admission fee per person entering Lucy Park during that day. Councilors Barenberg, Buffum, and Kirkham opposed this request, however, they did not necessarily disapprove of them collecting $2. 00 from their group only. Moved by Councilor Thomas that the ordinance be amended to allow for the collection of $2. 00 at the entrance of their activities; not at the park entrance. Motion seconded by Councilor Thompson. Mr. Esquel Sanchez, Treasurer of the G. I . Forum, stated that they collect around the pavilion, next to the swimming pool, and the area at the back. It involves about three blocks. If they do not want to donate, they don' t have to. Councilor Thompson requested that Mr. Murphy include this matter of admission in their park policies, so that it can be addressed. Councilor Kirkham noted that he is not opposed to the G.I . Forum, but is opposed to the general public, coming into the park being possibly stopped for a donation. He would have no qualms about the $2. 00 being collected at the pavilion or its walkway. The motion for the amendment carried by the following vote. Ayes: Mayor Goolsby, Councilors Hirschi, Thomas, Thompson, Buffum, and Kirkham Nays: None (Councilor Barenberg was out of the room. ) The motion for passage of the ordinance, as amended, carried by the following vote.

Motion seconded by Councilor Kirkham. Councilor Barenberg expressed concern about how we would handle the traffic of 30,000 people. Police Chief Harrelson stated that they have met with the Deputy Sheriff ' s Association and Park Department, and the Deputy Sheriff ' s Association is willing to offset the costs of this. He believes that more planning is needed. Parking will be an issue if there is rain. There is only one road getting to Jaycee Park. There are some problems in having it, but they will give it their best shot if it is held. Litter control was discussed. Mr. Berzina stated that he would like for the City to be in a position to dictate to them what our requirements are going to be. Councilor Kirkham expressed that this ordinance only addresses the sale of beer. Hours for the sale of beer was discussed. Moved by Councilor Hirschi that beer will only be permitted to be sold in the park between the hours of 12 :00 P.M. , and 8: 00 P.M. on that day. Motion seconded by Councilor Buffum, and carried by the following vote. Ayes: Mayor Goolsby, Councilors Hirschi, Thomas, Thompson, Barenberg, Buffum, and Kirkham Nays: None Councilor Thompson stated that he had not been a part of this discussion because he is opposed to the sale and consumption of beer. Mayor Goolsby stated that he also has concerns about voting for the sale of beer, but in filing for Mayor he realized that he would have to deal with it, and depend on law enforcement to deal with it. Don Ritchey, 4800 Brookdale, stated they want to work hand in hand with the Police Department for security and crowd control of 30,000. They will be running a series of ad campaigns two weeks prior to the event to allow people to know where parking will be available, and how routing will be made. They have also been working with Sheppard Air Force Base people pertaining to their Open House on October 1. Mr. Ritchey would like beer sales from 10: 00 A.M. to 8: 00 P.M. < They are depending on revenues from the sale of beer and other items to help lower the ticket prices. Councilor Barenberg stated that increasing alcohol by two hours could cause a lot of behavioral problems. He feels that eight hours is being very liberal. Mr. Ritchey responded to litter control by mentioning Mayor Harper ' s committees from the high schools. He seemed to be referring to the Youth Activities Advisory Council. Mayor Goolsby stated that he was in their last meeting, and it was not even discussed. Health and medical concerns were discussed. 933 Item 8d (Cont'd) Moved by Councilor Kirkham that the hours for beer sales be changed to 11: 00 A.M. to 8: 00 P.M. Motion seconded by Councilor Hirschi. Councilor Barenberg asked Chief Harrelson to comment on the behavioral problems of people with nine hours of drinking. Chief Harrelson stated that he also opposes drinking, and that there will be problems, but they will try to deal with it, if the Council directs. Mr. Ritchey noted that no food and beverages, except water, will be allowed to be brought into the park. The motion failed by the following vote.

Councilor Thompson stated that he would like to have a portion of the contract strengthened in that as far as possible we would hire men and women from the Wichita Falls area for these construction projects. He understands that they will soon be hiring two aids from Midwestern State University, and he feels this is something they could do. He would like to see a report on the number of people who have been hired under these contracts. Mr. Berzina noted that he has some concerns about this on residency, which he would like to check on.

John Glover, of Daugherity and Glover, explained that they were only able to get two contractors to bid on it because of the amount of work on the hail storm. Work for this particular type of rubber roof is basically limited to two roofers. Some discussion followed on why it took so long to get it done, and why funds were not appropriated as a repair item. The motion carried by the following vote. Ayes: Mayor Goolsby, Councilors Hirschi, Thomas, Thompson, Barenberg, Buffum, and Kirkham Nays: None Item 10c Resolution No. 172-88 RESOLUTION TO AWARD BID FOR WATER DISTRIBUTION COMPLEX PAVEMENT REPAIR PROJECT Moved by Councilor Thompson that Resolution No. 172-88 be passed.

Motion seconded by Councilor Buffum. Discussion was held on the tremendous difference between bids, and the small number of bidders. Mr. Bonnett explained that contractors that might be hired to do a home are not bonded to do a municipal project, by state statute. He stated there are probably two contractors in this country who could be bonded. Mr. Bonnett explained that they do everything they know to do in order to get people to bid, but you cannot force them to do so. The motion carried by the following vote. Ayes: Mayor Goolsby, Councilors Hirschi, Thomas, Thompson, Barenberg, Buffum, and Kirkham Nays: None Item lla Lindsey Walker, 1411 Trout, requested block grant money in the amount of $49,354 for District 2, on the East Side, for the Economic Development Corporation. He stated that he has been working on this project for two years. He read a prepared statement explaining the needs and results anticipated. The plan they propose will be the first of many steps on the road to recovery. He explained that they are not in conflict with the Midwestern State University' s Small Business Council. Mr. Berzina believes this request will fall under economic development. Mr. Walker explained the difference between the director and program administrator. Mr. Berzina stated that if we fund it, there will be rules and regulations, and they will be looked over very closely, such as size of the budget, etc. 938 Item lla (Cont'd) Councilor Buffum stated that he is having a tough time with this. He also mentioned the MSU program. Mr. Walker' s request was first presented as a gross roots pull up by bootstraps operation. Now, the City would assume seventy-five percent of the cost of this operation. Mr. Walker stated that in Dallas the program began with a dollar for dollar match. It now has a sizeable funding. He stated that this program is too great for a community to do by itself. Councilor Buffum noted this would be an ongoing program for the City. Mr. Walker believed the program at MSU can also address the needs he is addressing. Dick Noey, Director of the Small Business Development Center at MSU, stated that they are working with a number of people brought to them by Mr. Walker. They met with a group of twenty, and they are actively pursuing two large projects which involve businessmen on the East Side. He explained that their money comes from anywhere that people will contribute. A block of non-federal money comes from MSU. Half of it comes from a federal grant. Mr. Noey stated that venture capital is sorely lacking. They have created 36 new jobs since they started in September last year. Activity has increased in the last two weeks. He feels his and Mr. Walker' s programs could best work independently. The best that could occur would be a coordination of efforts. Councilor Thompson feels that if there is more than one area of the City which needs help, then we should help them. He would like an ongoing program. Mr. Berzina is concerned about putting it into the budget because of trying to end it if it doesn' t work. Mr. Noey stated that this program could be run out of MSU, but he does not know whether it could be done as well as Mr. Walker can do it. Discussion continued on the program and its funding. Mayor Goolsby requested that Mr. Walker put together some goals which they hope to complete in the first year, and even the third year. Mr. Walker believed they could revitalize the people in that area in the first year. Mr. Walker agreed that loan capability will have to come. Mayor Goolsby suggested that Councilors Hirschi and Thompson, Mr. Walker, Mr. Noey, and Bob Henderson work together toward establishing goals. Item 11b Councilor Thompson requested that the police chief make sure that houses on 13th and 14th Streets, near Austin School, are secured so that transients cannot get into them. This covers an area between Lamar and Broad Streets. He desires that we let the people in that area know that public intoxication will not be tolerated. Councilor Kirkham mentioned a letter from Mrs. Slack about non-profit organizations and bake sales and bonding requirements. Mayor Goolsby stated that he had talked to Mr. Berzina about it. Mr. Berzina seemed to remember something about bringing in off-premise baked goods. Mr. Berzina will get a report on it. City Clerk Wilma Thomas responded concerning permit requirements. 939 Item llb (Cont'd) Councilor Hirschi again mentioned the Boddy Survey. Mr. Berzina noted that it will be discussed in the budget. Mayor Goolsby mentioned that he, Councilor Thomas, and Mr. Berzina met with two school board members and the Superintendent. They felt they could get an easement on Lynwood Lake. Dr. Carmine opposed a park next to a school because of problems encountered. Councilor Hirschi feels they should move forward on perpetual care at the cemetery. Councilor Buffum asked about Midwestern Parkway reconstruction. Mr. Bonnett explained it was moving along. There was no discussion on Item llc. The City Council recessed at 12 :00, and reconvened at 12: 30 for budget discussion. The Police Chief presented various options for the above current request for additional police officers. The effective tax rate and other pertinent budget information was also discussed. Mr. Berzina noted that funds from the current budget in the amount of $154,000 could be carried forward and allocated to the 1988-89 budget. The City Council recessed into executive session at 2: 10 P.M. , according to Article 6252-17, Section 2, Paragraphs (e) and (g) of the Revised Civil Statutes. They reconvened at 4: 30 P.M. Item 14 Moved by Councilor Thomas that the following appointments be made. Mental Health/Mental Retardation Board of Trustees - Terms to August 31, 1990 Reappointed Dr. Barbara Brewer John W. Barfield William H. Barber Dr. Robert Bradley Michael Tugman (replace Larry Lambert) Motion seconded by Councilor Kirkham, and carried unanimously. Moved by Councilor Thomas that the following appointments be made. Mental Health/Mental Retardation Public Responsibility Committee - Terms to August 31, 1990 Barbara Glickman (reappointed) Alisa Larson (replace LaJune Lewis) Sue Nunn (replace Dr. James Connor) Motion seconded by Councilor Buffum, and carried unanimously. 940 Item 15 Budget discussion continued, with Mayor Goolsby noting that they need to give the City Manager direction so that he can be prepared to come back at the appropriate time with a budget that they will be prepared to set a tax rate on. Councilor Thompson suggested above current items consisting of an additional audio visual camera, two marshals, a switcher, three full-time and one part-time library positions, books and periodicals, two firefighters, large diameter hose, and requests made by Parks and Recreation for two full-time and one temporary employees. Councilor Hirschi mentioned scuba equipment for police, and Councilor Barenberg mentioned a van for narcotics surveillance for the police department. Mr. Berzina suggested they give serious consideration on locking in revenue on anything they do that adds personnel costs. Councilor Hirschi would also like to look at possible savings of utilities, and the West Texas Utilities fund. Councilor Thomas noted that the West Texas Utility fund was set aside to provide funds for future water resources needs. He also noted that we could leave the budget as it is, and place some of these things in a bond issue. Councilor Buffum felt we should first go for establishment of a library, and then go for the staffing of it. It was later noted that we do not know whether voters will approve a new library. Mayor Goolsby desired to use $154,000 from the equity fund, and add $25,000 to it for a pump for the waterfall. Councilor Thomas proposed funds for health and dental, camera, books and periodicals, training for library staff, and scuba equipment. Mr. Berzina noted that there is an administrative board at the library. He wants to make sure that either the Council or City manager will say where allocated funds will be spent. Discussion continued on funding for the library in an amount of $109 ,000 or $121, 000. The Mayor and Council directed the City Manager to add these items to the budget for consideration on September 6, 1988. The City Council adjourned at 5: 15 P.M. PASSED AND APPROVED this the day 1988. Perry Gql� sb�yor ATTEST: Wilma J. TH6mas, CMC/AAE City Clerk
