Item 8a
Alfonso Figueroa, 1322 North 6th, requested a waiver of the fees for the
Mexican-American Golf Association tournament. Various members of the Council
questioned him concerning the organization and its purpose.
Mr. Figueroa, stated that they plan a scholarship fund, but they do not
have any details worked out yet. He stated that they are chartered as a non-
profit organization through a national association operating in several western
states, as well as Texas. The basic principle of the organization is physical
fitness, and to bring the game of golf to the Mexican American people.
Alderman Thomas noted that we have a problem if we make an exception to
the first request. Also, the general public may want to play that day. We also
cannot allow the requested free beer because of the contract with the golf pro.
Bill Hursh stated that use of the golf course for this tournament would preclude
the public from using the course that day.
Moved by Alderman Thomas that the Mexican-American Golf Association players
F be charged one-half the regular fee for the tournament, and that the City not
allow free beer to be distributed on the golf course.
Motion seconded by Alderman Smith, and carried unanimously.

changed its mode of operation beginning in July this year. They now lease the cab
to the driver, who is responsible for paying the social security, income tax, etc.
Salary is not included in the income figures--only what the cab company receives.
It was noted that they are using old equipment, and maintenance would be high.
Bob Cowden stated that they purchase low mileage used equipment which uses regular
gas because they do not have the money to buy new equipment. He stated that their
passengers consist mostly of low income people and Sheppard Air Force Base.
The motion carried by the following vote.

Boston

RESOLUTION NO. 2613
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING TECHNICAL EVALUATION OF PROPOSED SANITARY
LANDFILL SITE, AND AUTHORIZING CITY MANAGER TO ACCEPT PROPOSAL BY
HENNINGSON, DURHAM & RICHARDSON TO PROVIDE FURTHER ASSISTANCE IN
CONNECTION WITH SANITARY LANDFILL STUDY.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN OF THE CITY OF WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS,
THAT:
SECTION 1 . The City Manager is hereby authorized to direct the Department
of Public Works to proceed with a technical evaluation of Site H to determine if
such site meets State Department of Health requirements.
SECTION 2. The City Manager is further authorized to execute for the City
of Wichita Falls acceptance of the August 21 , 1980, proposal by Henningson,
Durham & Richardson to provide further assistance to the City of Wichita Falls
in connection with the Sanitary Landfill study.
SECTION 3. The fact that the present sanitary landfill used by the City will
be completely filled and no longer available for disposal of solid waste within
several months creates an emergency because of the need for preservation of the
public health and safety, and this resolution is declared to be an emergency
measure effective immediately.
Moved by Alderman Traywick that Resolution No. 2613 be passed.
Motion seconded by Alderman Boston.
Alderman Hampton stated that he is convinced that the economics of this
situation is not the greatest priority. He recognizes that it is costly, and
feels that it is incumbent upon us to let people know that it will cost more, and
get on with getting the problem resolved. It will be expensive, but apparently it
is the will of the people.
Alderman Smith stated that their policy has always been that it will be as
self sustaining as possible, and we will just have to add the fees on it.
Alderman Traywick stated that we know what the people want who voted, and
it would be presumptious on our part to read too much into those not voting.
Mayor Hill stated that we could come back to Site 2 and save dollars, but
he believes we would be going against the spirit of the election if we did that
because the people voted not to put it that close to their homes.
The motion carried by the following vote.
Ayes: Mayor Hill , Aldermen Traywick, Hampton, Russell , Smith, Thomas, and
Boston
Nays: None
Item 11b

RESOLUTION APPROVING AGREEMENT WITH NFS/NATIONAL SOIL SERVICES, INC.
OF DALLAS, TEXAS, FOR ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR SANITARY LANDFILL STUDY.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN OF THE CITY OF WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS,
THAT:
That an agreement between the City of Wichita Falls and NFS/National Soil
Services, Inc. of Dallas, Texas, under which such engineering firm shall furnish
soil testing services with regard to a sanitary landfill study, is hereby approved.
The contract shall be based on actual work performed currently estimated to be
450 L.F. at a cost not to exceed $9,324.15. The City Manager is authorized to

Item llc
Discussion was held on a transfer station for the landfill .
Alderman Hampton asked how we are going to pay for it? Alderman Thomas
suggested that we pass over this item before we enter into a binding agreement
for a transfer station.
Director of Public Works Ernest Lillard stated that it will take a minimum
of a year to get a transfer station in operation. The legal requirements and
technical evaluations are the same for it as a landfill site. If we have to
start running five to eight miles farther out, we will lose several hours a
day in time. We are also running equipment that is marginal at best, and we
would be putting an extra strain on the equipment. The landfill would be
operational six months before the transfer station would be ready.
RESOLUTION NO. 2615
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING TECHNICAL EVALUATION OF A PROPOSED SOLID WASTE
TRANSFER STATION, AND AUTHORIZING CITY MANAGER TO ACCEPT PROPOSAL BY
HENNINGSON, DURHAM & RICHARDSON TO PROVIDE FURTHER ASSISTANCE WITH
SOLID WASTE TRANSFER STATION.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN OF THE CITY OF WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS,

of Wichita Falls acceptance of the August 21 , 1980, proposal by Henningson,
Durham & Richardson to provide further assistance to the City of Wichita Falls
in connection with the Solid Waste Transfer Station Study.
SECTION 3. The fact that the present sanitary landfill used by the City will
be completely filled and no longer available for disposal of solid waste within
several months creates an emergency because of the need for preservation of the
public health and safety, and this resolution is declared to be an emergency
measure effective immediately.
152
Item llc, cont'd.
Moved by Alderman Traywick that Resolution No. 2615 be passed.
Motion seconded by Alderman Smith.
Ernest Lillard stated that it will cost a total of $2,000,000 to purchase
and develop the site. The additional roadway would cost $200,000 of the total .
It will cost $750,000 per year to operate, and will require an additional $2.00
per month increase per customer in sanitation rates.
Acting City Manager Robert Haley stated that our financial advisor, Frank
Medanich, had informed him that we cannot use revenue bonds for a landfill . The
Council can issue Certificates of Obligation, without a referendum, or General
Obligation Bonds by a referendum. The cost would be about the same. Mayor Hill
stated that he would like to go with the Certificates of Obligation. It was pointed
out that the citizens could force a referendum on the Certificates of Obligation.
Zettie Fisher, of Route 3, appeared. She asked if the map is correct on the
blocks of land to be taken in? Where would the transfer station be located, what
road would be used, and what it will likely cost?
Alderman Smith pointed out that Mrs. Fisher is out of order because she is not
a citizen of Wichita Falls, and she was asked to be seated.
The motion carried by the following vote.
Ayes : Mayor Hill , Aldermen Traywick, Hampton, Russell , Smith, Thomas, and
Boston

Item lld was passed over.
Item Ile
A proposed resolution was presented determining the necessity for acquisition
of property for the Mental Health Mental Retardation Section 202 project to construct
an eleven unit apartment complex.
Alderman Hampton inquired what guarantee we will have that the same thing will
not happen to us here as it did with the Human Resources Center, and we end up selling
it for commercial purposes?
Director of Planning Roger McKinney stated that the 202 project is funded by
HUD. As a part of allocating these funds they must make an on-site review. The Health
Department site did not meet their standards. The City has required Mental Health
Mental Retardation to get HUD to make an on-site inspection before they make an
application. This has been done. This property consists of all vacant lots. There
is a reversionary clause in the land. The City will donate the land, and the housing
project will be constructed with community development funds. Roger McKinney estimates
$35,000 for the five lots.
Alderman Hampton quickly pointed out that this is still tax dollars no matter
where it comes from.

Section No. 3 The following procedures shall be used in the acquisition of

uniform, fair and equitable treatment be afforded persons displaced as a result

acquired, and to promote public confidence in federal land acquisition:

property expeditiously by negotiation.
B. Real property shall be appraised before the initiation of negotia-
tions, and the owner or his representative designated in writing shall be given
an opportunity to accompany the appraiser during his inspection of the property.
C. Before the initiation of negotiations for the acquisition of such
real property, the City shall offer to acquire the property for the full amount
so established, which shall be not less than the approved appraisal of the fair
market value of the property. The owner shall be provided with a written State-
ment of the Basis for Determination of Just Compensation. If only a portion of
the property is acquired, the Statement shall make an apportionment between the
compensation for the property acquired and the net damages or benefits to the
remaining property.
D. If the acquisition of a portion of a property would leave the owner
with an uneconomic remnant, the City will offer to acquire such uneconomic
remanant.
E. If the owner is not satisfied with the City's offer, he may refuse
to accept it; if he can provide evidence concerning value or damage that warrants
a change in the City's determination of just compensation, the price will be
adjusted accordingly by the appraiser.
F. No owner shall be required to surrender possession of real property
before the City pays the agreed purchase price, or deposits with the court in
which the City has instituted a condemnation proceeding for such property, for
the benefit of the owner, an amount not less than the fair market value of such
property, or the amount of the award of compensation in the condemnation proceeding
for such property.
G. The City shall furnish the owner a statement identifying the
settlement and related costs that will be paid by the City.
H. The construction or development of a project shall be so scheduled
that no person lawfully occupying real property shall be required to move from
a dwelling (assuming a replacement dwelling will be available) or to move his
business or farm operation, without at least 90 days written notice from the
City of the date by which such move is required. However, shorter notice may
be given where HUD determines that such 90 day notice is impracticable.
I. If arrangements are made to rent the property to an owner or his
tenant for a short term or for a period subject to termination by the City on
shorter notice, the rental will not exceed the lesser of (1 ) the fair rental
value of the property to a short-term occupier, (2) the pro rata portion of the
fair rental value for a typical rental period, or if the owner or his tenant is
an occupant of a dwelling, the rental for such dwelling shall not exceed 25% of
his income.
J. The City shall not advance the time of condemnation or defer
negotiations or condemnation and the deposit of funds in court for the use of the

owner, or take any other action which is coercive or misleading in nature in order
to compel an agreement on the price to be paid for the property.
K. If any interest in real property is to be acquired by the exercise
of the power of eminent domain, the City shall institute formal condemnation
proceedings to prove the fact of the taking of real property.
L. In any case in which a notice is served by the City of its intention
to acquire real property, initiation of negotiations shall occur within 90 days
of the service of such notice of intention.
