Motion seconded by Alderman Thomas, and carried unanimously.
v Item 4a
A proposed ordinance was presented extending the state of emergency.
ORDINANCE NO. 3694
ORDINANCE EXTENDING STATE OF DISASTER EMERGENCY FOR SEVEN DAYS.
Moved by Alderman Traywick that Ordinance No. 3694 be passed.
Motion seconded by Alderman Boston.
Alderman Traywick asked about the plan to terminate the state of emergency.
Gerald Fox, City Manager, stated ordinances were adopted to extend temporary
placement of mobile homes until the end of August. Upon the expiration of those
ordinances and the removal of all the mobile homes, there would be no need to
extend the state of emergency.
Ernest Lillard, Director of Public Works, stated there were 16 private
mobile homes on site for rebuilding of homes. All are working on their homes.
All government mobile homes are gone.
City Attorney H. P. Hodge, Jr. stated the main reason for declaring a state
of emergency is one ordinance has to do with deed restrictions in certain sub-
divisions. There .are many mobile homes on private lots in a subdivision with
deed restrictions. Alderman Hampton stated this could go on for years. It costs
the City time and money to declare the state of emergency. Mayor Hill stated it
is time to discontinue this and let the people who are rebuilding know that time
is running out. The City Manager stated it would be proper to notify the remaining
16 people that the state of emergency will not be extended past August 31 , 1980.
Mayor Hill instructed Director of Public Works Ernest Lillard to notify the
16 people in person and in writing about this.

Item 4b
Discussion was held on the sprinkler system (fire) improvements at the Activities
Center, and a proposed appropriation ordinance was presented.

had to be corrected? The City Manager stated everything except the sprinkler system.
An engineer was going to look at the system and report on it.
Alderman Thomas clarified we are in violation of the Code in exhibit areas
1 and 2 only. If we wanted to do this as inexpensive as possible it would take
$6,000 to do exhibit areas 1 and 2. Otherwise, it would take $32,000 to do the
whole building.

AN ORDINANCE MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FROM THE AUDITORIUM/ACTIVITIES

Ayes: Mayor Hill , Aldermen Traywick, Hampton, Thomas, and Boston
Nays : None
J Item 7a
Discussion was held on the fleet insurance proposal . The City Manager stated
the City has liability coverage on the fleet for $25,000 per individual bodily injury,
$50,000 per occurence bodily injury, and $10,000 property damage. The Council
requested a study on other options available to us. After discussions with our
people, we have come up with a program that should be considered by the Council . A
liability limit of $100,000 per individual bodily injury, $300,000 per occurence
bodily injury, and $100,000 property damage with a $25,000 combined bodily injury
and property damage per occurence deductable with an annual stop loss of $100,000.
This coverage would cost $55,000 annually plus adjustment fees.
Alderman Thomas asked if we were obtaining unlimited coverage? Alderman
Traywick stated this proposal does not mean that. No one would sell $1 million
coverage.
Alderman Thomas asked about coverage when someone falls down the stairs? Mark
Wilson, Risk Management, stated the City does have insurance on some of the buildings,
but not in the parks. Coverage is up to $300,000 per person.
Moved by Alderman Thomas to adopt the new plan at the first opportunity.
Motion seconded by Alderman Boston.
The City Manager stated if our present policy was cancelled now, we would
be short rated. He suggested implementing the plan by October 1 , 1980.
The motion carried unanimously.
Alderman Thomas stated he knows of adjustment companies with the GAB. There
might be some independent adjusters that would do this work for less than $110. If
this can be cut to $75, then let's do it.
/ Item 7b
Discussion was held on City funding for midtown Christmas lighting decorations.
City Manager Gerald Fox stated the Downtown Association is requesting approximately
$12,000 for Christmas decorations in the midtown area. This was not included in the
1980-81 budget so adjustments will be necessary. They are asking the money be taken
from the parking meter fund. Revenue in the parking meter fund is over $100,000.
Aldermen Traywick stated this could be postponed until the budget was considered.
i
99
Item 7b, cont'd.
Mayor Hill asked why there should be a change in this? He stated he does
not buy the parking meter business. Parking meters have nothing to do with
Christmas decorations. Why should the City of Wichita Falls begin picking up
tabs here and there?
J. C. Boyd, Jr. , member of Downtown Association, appeared stating the reason
the Downtown Association does not buy the new lighting fixtures is because they
do not have the money. The fixtures are going on public light poles on city
streets. Historically, the City has supplied electricity for the lights. The
Fire Department has installed and removed the lights. The Downtown Association
paid for the storage at People's Electric and the refurbishing of the decorations.
These new decorations are windproof. He stated they are prepared to store and
maintain them, but they do not have the money to buy them. Millions of dollars
have been taken from the parking meters. It has been a drain on the downtown
businesses. Some cities have taken out parking meters and provided free public
parking. Christmas lighting will bring more people downtown.
Alderman Traywick asked didn't the Downtown Association oppose free parking?
Mr. Boyd stated they tried that on Saturday mornings thinking it would bring
people downtown. By 9:00 o'clock Saturday morning the parking meters were filled.
You have to have the turn over to bring people downtown.
Alderman Traywick stated he does not oppose this, but it should be considered
during the budget.
Mayor Hill asked if this was the total cost? Mr. Boyd stated this bid he
received is good for 90 days. Mayor Hill asked why are we more obligated to
downtown than to Sikes Senter or Parker Square? Mr. Boyd stated it is because
the City owns the streets downtown. Sikes Senter and Parker Square have private
streets. Mayor Hill stated Sikes Senter and Parker Square have furnished their
own parking. The City of Wichita Falls has furnished parking for downtown.
Mayor Hill questioned this. He does not know if this is the correct place for
tax dollars. Mr. Boyd stated more money has been spent on the intersection at
Call Field and Kemp than downtown. All the money is being spent out there and
nothing is coming back. Alderman Thomas stated it was because of the traffic
there and there isn't any traffic downtown. Mr. Boyd disagreed.
Moved by Alderman Traywick that this be considered in the 1980-81 budget.
Motion seconded by Alderman Thomas, and carried unanimously.
Item 7c
A proposed resolution was presented declaring certain land to be surplus
land, and directing said land be advertised for sale.
RESOLUTION NO. 2578
RESOLUTION DECLARING CERTAIN LAND OWNED BY CITY IN BLOCK 240,
ORIGINAL TOWN, TO BE EXCESS AND SURPLUS LAND, AND DIRECTING THAT
SAID LAND BE ADVERTISED FOR SALE ON SEALED BIDS.
WHEREAS, by Resolution No. 2173, adopted July 11 , 1978, the Board of Aldermen
determined the necessity of acquiring Block 240, Original Town of Wichita Falls ,
for midtown improvements project, specifically a Human Resource Center, and they
authorized the City Manager to purchase or condemn such land; and,
WHEREAS, since that time the City has purchased by negotiation all of such
block except Lots 8, 13, and 14; and,
WHEREAS, although the adoption of such Resolution 2173 and the acquisition
of such property by the City were made in good faith for the construction of
such Human Resource Center, it is now found that such public purpose is no longer
viable, and such land is excess and surplus, and should be sold by the City.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN OF THE CITY OF
WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS, THAT:
100
Item 7c, cont'd.
SECTION 1 . The necessity of acquiring Block 240, Original Town of the City of
Wichita Falls, as determined in Resolution 2173, and the public purpose on which
it was based, no longer exist.
SECTION 2. The land owned by the City of Wichita Falls in Block 240, Original
Town, the same being all of such Block 240 except Lots 8, 13, and 14, is declared
to be excess and surplus land, and should be sold by the City.
SECTION 3. The City Manager is hereby authorized and directed to publish in
a newspaper of general circulation in Wichita County, Texas, a notice that such land
is to be offered for sale to the general public on sealed bids in accordance with
Article 5421c-12, Revised Civil Statutes of Texas; notice shall be so given on at
least two separate occasions, and no sale shall be held less than fourteen days
after the last notice. The sale shall be made subject to the following qualifications :
A. A minimum bid of $294,000 will be required.
B. The sale and deed would be subject to a condition subsequent that the
title to the land would revert to the City unless the purchaser submitted to the
City within six months of the deed preliminary plans for private development,
begin actual construction of improvements on such land within eighteen months of
the deed, and invested a minimum of 5 million dollars in the development of such
property.
Moved by Alderman Thomas that Resolution No. 2578 be passed.
Motion seconded by Alderman Boston.
Alderman Hampton requested the reason behind this be brought forth. City
Manager Gerald Fox stated in 1977 or 1978, the Council authorized a study be
done for a Human Resource complex. This was submitted to the Council . Property
between Burnett and Broad, and the Wichita River and 5th Street would be a good
location for a Human Resource complex to include offices relating to social service
functions. In July, 1978, the Council authorized purchase of these properties.
First to be cleared was Block 240, which has less than 4.5 acres. All the property
has been purchased except for three lots. These properties have been held for one
year, and there has been no move to take advantage of these properties by the agencies.
We have had some contact concerning the principal uses of these properties by
private services. The Council should consider the land for private development. If
this is done, the City needs to establish a minimum value for the property, a minimum
investment for the property, and plans and specifications and construction to begin
within a time frame. If it is sold for private investment, all tax entities could
receive substantial benefit. The type of development that has been discussed is
a hotel -motel . If a successful bidder meets the terms and conditions of the sale,
this could be a substantial benefit to the community for employment and in having
another hotel-motel available. There are no plans for public use of the land at
this time. There had been a need to purchase it because the property was sub-
standard. The City should be able to recoup most, if not all , of its cost from the
property.
Alderman Thomas asked about a minimum bid. Mr. Fox stated investment at this
time is $278,862 with the three additional lots valued at $14,300. There is no
interest or expense in them. The land was appraised at $1 .00 per square foot which
would be a total of $184,000. Mr. Fox suggested the City establish a minimum of
$1 .25 per square foot. Alderman Thomas stated land abutting freeway should go for
more than $1 .25 per square foot.
Alderman Traywick stated if a private enterprise had tried to acquire that land
originally, it would have been at a considerable expense.
It was then clarified it would take $294,000 to get the City's investment back.
Alderman Thomas stated the three lots would be bought by other people.
J. C. Boyd, Jr. appeared stating the City did not pay anything for the property.
The City is not out anything. Alderman Hampton stated it is still tax money. No
matter where it comes from it is still tax money. Mr. Boyd stated the City has a
right to sell it for any amount as long as it is of sufficient magnitude to the city.
If a person is going to build a $5 million investment, that is to his advantage.
101
Item 7c, cont'd.
The motion carried by the following vote.
Ayes: Mayor Hill , Aldermen Traywick, Hampton, Thomas, and Boston
Nays: None
The City Manager suggested a minimum bid of $1 .60 per square foot. Alderman
Thomas stated this is still at a good price.
Item 5a
Mayor Hill stated this item concerning the petition on the sanitary landfill
is going to be discussed; however, another council person is needed in order to
have a 4/5 vote.
Alderman Traywick asked for an explanation regarding the charter requirements
on calling an election at the next regular council meeting, but this being a
special meeting. City Attorney H. P. Hodge, Jr. , stated that the Charter provides
after a referendum petition is filed with the City Clerk and the Clerk finds it
meets the provisions of the charter, the City Clerk then certifies that fact to
the Board of Aldermen at the next regular meeting. It is his opinion, even though
this is a special meeting, the City Council has been meeting regularly every Tuesday
morning for over a year, although two meetings are regular and two or three are
called meetings. Mandatory principles in the law must be followed to the letter
or action is considered invalid. Directory principles do not have to be followed
to the letter. In this case, the Council has been meeting regularly for 14 to 15
months. A notice has been posted every Thursday preceding the meeting on Tuesday.
The difference has been strictly a technicality. In his opinion, this is substantial
compliance with the charter.
It was clarified that if action is not taken today or tomorrow this could
not be brought to a referendum election until the third Saturday in January, 1981 .
Mayor Hill stated they are not wanting to postpone this. Six council members are
needed for the 4/5 vote. Mr. Smith and Mrs. Russell are both out of town. Mrs.
Russell will possibly be back tomorrow.
Alderman Hampton asked if the Committee of Petitioners had any compromises
at this time?
Jim Rivkin, 4509 Jennings, member of the Committee of Petitioners, asked
if another council member could not be reached, will the study be continued?
Mayor Hill stated they would like to clear this up. He does not want to go in
and spend a lot of money and then have to leave. Alderman Thomas stated they
are going ahead.
Each council member then stated they supported a referendum election.
Mr. Rivkin stated if this goes into January for an election, then another
site should be looked at. Alderman Traywick stated if another site is looked at
there would be another referendum. Mr. Rivkin stated the landfill should not be
close to anybody's city limits.
Myrtis Pauling, 6727 Geronimo, appeared and asked Alderman Hampton what he
meant by compromises? Alderman Hampton stated he meant if the petitioners had
any changes to their petition at this time. City Attorney H. P. Hodge, Jr. stated
this only applies to an initiative petition.
Lorna Higginbotham, 4503 Jennings, member of the Committee of Petitioners,
appeared stating Ernest Lillard had said the present dump could be extended for
a short period of time. Mrs. Higginbotham asked Mr. Lillard if he had any figures?
Director of Public Works, Ernest Lillard, stated he is talking about 30 to 45 days.
v RESOLUTION NO. 2579
RESOLUTION DECLARING RESOLUTION NO. 2529 TO BE AN EMERGENCY MEASURE.
WHEREAS, at the time the Board of Aldermen adopted Resolution No. 2529 on
May 20, 1980, such Board determined that the present sanitary landfill has a
remaining life of approximately six months, and that time was needed to select a
102
Item 5a, cont'd.
site for a new landfill , obtain a permit from the State Department of Health, and
prepare the new landfill for operation; that each of these steps, including Resolution
No. 2529, constituted an emergency on the ground of urgent public need for the
preservation of the health of the City, as a new landfill is necessary when the old
landfill is exhausted; and,
WHEREAS, although these findings were made, it was not specified in Resolution
No. 2529 that it was an emergency measure, although in fact it was.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN OF THE CITY OF WICHITA
FALLS, TEXAS, THAT:
Resolution No. 2529 was passed as an emergency measure, and is in fact an sue.
emergency measure, on the ground of urgent public need for the preservation of the
health of the City, by providing a new landfill site where solid waste generated
and collected in the City can be disposed of. Such resolution shall not be suspended
from going into operation while referendum proceedings are pending.
Moved by Alderman Hampton that Resolution No. 2579 be passed.
H. P. Hodge, Jr. , City Attorney, stated the reason for this is that when an
ordinance is passed, it does not become effective until 30 days. If it is passed
with 'an emergency measure, it becomes effective immediately. A resolution that
is passed becomes effective immediately. When Resolution No. 2529 was passed,
there was no emergency measure. Now a question has risen. There is some language
in the charter which states when an election is called that unless it is an
emergency it will be suspended until the next regular municipal election.
Motion seconded by Alderman Thomas, and carried by the following vote.
Ayes: Mayor Hill , Aldermen Traywick, Hampton, Thomas, and Boston
Nays: None
The City Manager stated if there is some matter of compromise that could be
offered to the Council , then the Council could rescind Resolution No. 2579.
The Board of Aldermen recessed at 10:10 A.M. until 10:00 A.M. Wednesday morning.
