A proposed appropriation ordinance was presented for air conditioning repairs
at Memorial Auditorium.
Alderman Hampton questioned whether a better check on the system could not
be made during the year, and how long is the estimated time for repairs?
Mahlon Hill , Building Maintenance Supervisor, stated that they run the tower
during the cooling season, and there isn't much chance to check it in that particular
area until they can shut it down and inspect it. He hoped they would have it back
in operation by the first of April . Alderman Hampton suggested that they check it
as thoroughly in the fall as in the spring. Mahlon Hill explained that they plan
to install a different type of grid this time which they hope will be better. He
stated that there are 13,000 slats hanging in the tower.

Herbert Gomez, an employee of the Sewer Department, was honored as Employee of

Item 8a
The public hearing was opened on the Community Development Block Grant Application.
The City Manager explained the programs and amounts which the staff is recommending.
This is the final public hearing on the 1980-81 Community Development Block Grant
Application. Projects totaling funds of $2,171 ,000 are recommended.
The City Manager also noted that should the Holliday Creek proposal by the
petitioners ' committee be approved by the voters on April 5, then $1 ,000,000 of these
funds would have to be eliminated or reduced in order to provide partial funding for
Holliday Creek.
Various members of the Council felt that the people involved in the Community
Development Block Grant hearing should be notified that some of the money would
have to be pulled out if the Holliday Creek issue passes on April 5.
458
Item 8a, cont'd.
Mayor Hill stated that he wants everyone to know what will happen if this
issue passes. Alderman Smith stated that it will take a tax increase of 27 to
40 percent to finance this project. Mayor Hill explained that if federal funds
are discontinued, a tax increase could be from 57 to 66 percent. Alderman Smith
stated that it would also have to be paid for in three years, with no additional
bonds floated.
Alderman Hampton stated that it is a very trying and unpleasant situation
as a city councilman to have to be against something which the city needs. We
need to alleviate the problems on Holliday Creek, but we do not believe that
it is for the benefit of the citizens of Wichita Falls, and the City, to do it
this way. We want to see it done, but under the conditions and instructions
placed on the City Council by the Petitioners to fund this project, will do
more harm to the City as a whole than it will benefit them.
J. C. Boyd, Jr. , Executive Director of Midtown Now, spoke in favor of the
funding as outlined by the City Manager. He also spoke as a private citizen,
residing at 1613 Easy. He stated that he has never seen anything as ill-conceived
and stupid as the Holliday Creek issue. He stated that he had previously spent
at least 30 hours before boards and engineers hearing testimony on the Corps '
project. No one has ever said that they did not like the program of the Corps
of Engineers. He is afraid that what is happening is that some people are becoming
impatient. He stated that a 30 to 60 percent tax increase would gut the industrial
development program of the City. Industries would not even talk to us.
No one else desired to be heard, and the public hearing was closed.

in the tornado. Bill Hursh recommended that the bid of Holt Landscape be accepted
for 125 cedar elm trees at $65.00 each, and 125 live oak trees at $80.00 each.
He also recommended that an additional 100 trees be purchased for Wood Memorial
Park at these prices if the Park Department is able to provide the labor, and

Webb Landscape in the amount of $110.00 each for cedar elms, and $155.00 each for

Alderman Hampton asked what guarantees we have on these bids? Mr. Hursh

would just increase our costs.

less expensive now than later. He stated that he could make recommendations for

that they could come down to the $200,000 figure without several changes.
