r` r
Alderman Boyd made a general apology to the staff, and especially to Mr.

r. Mr. and Mrs. C.W.L. Dennis - Against the paving of Onaway Trail for no

Mrs. Neel, from the audience, stated that she is in favor of the paving on
Avenue L.
R. A. Hassler appeared in favor of the paving of Avenue L from Grant to Kemp.
Mrs. E. C. Page, 2300 Taylor, protested the paving of Avenues M and N for
financial reasons. She also inquired when the paving will be accomplished. Ernest
Lillard explained that the contractor will begin within 30-40 days, and it will be
constructed in steps within the next year. There is no certain order. She also
asked who would be responsible for paying it if the property is sold. It was ex-
plained that either they or the person buying it would have to pay for it. City
Attorney H. P. Hodge, Jr. cautioned that any property owner who sells should take
this matter into account on who will pay for it. She mentioned a drainage prob-
lem, and the Mayor explained that the engineers will be looking at that problem.
The City Manager explained that the City is paying more than 50 percent of the cost
of the paving, but that the prices are fixed.
G. R. Robertson protested the paving on Avenue M, stating that it did not en-
hance his property; that he is on social security and cannot make these payments.
He also mentioned drainage problems.
A. A. Taylor, 2214 Polk, inquired if the City can assess a lien on his prop-
erty. City Attorney H. P. Hodge, Jr. stated that the State has adopted a paving
law that authorizes the City to pave streets in this fashion. This state law was
757
Item 4a, cont'd.
adopted by a vote of the people in the Charter. City Manager Gerald Fox explained
that a majority vote of the Council can approve this ordinance. Mayor Wallander
stated that in the case of homestead property it can be assessed, but if the prop-
erty changes hands it has to be paid.
Mr. Robertson questioned how long he can keep this property before the state
can take it. The Mayor stated that it would be hard to say, but that we are try-
ing to improve the City and not make any hardship on anyone. The City Manager ex-
plained that owners of side lots are paying one-half per foot what front foot
property owners are.
Mrs. W. J. Hall, 3601 Arthur (Cora McGee property) protested the paving of
Avenue Z. She stated that it is a side street; that she is still paying on the
front street. It will not help her property, and she cannot afford it.
Mrs. R. E. Whitworth protested the paving of Avenue Z because it will not bene-
fit her.
Mrs. Nettie Shan appeared in favor of the paving of Brick Street, and inquired
when she could pay cash for it. The City Manager stated that she would be notified
when the paving is completed when the bill is due.
Bernice Point, 203 Brick Street, inquired what part she will be required to
pay for. It was explained by the City Manager that the curb will be constructed
in front of her property (along with the paving) on Brick Street, and that she will
have the option of paying the way she desires when it becomes due.
Mrs. Alfred Jackson, at Sullivan and Brick appeared in favor of the paving
of Brick Street.
Mr. Grady England protested that he does not own the property on Brick Street.
Mr. Lillard suggested that he check with the Property Agent to identify the owner
of it.
Lila Baker, 6th and Clift Street, stated that she would like to meet with Mr.
Lillard after the meeting.
A. B. Mears appeared for Mary Harshman at 306 Clift Street, protesting that
she is on social security, and is not financially able to pay it.
Calvin Jones appeared in favor of the paving on Clift Street.
Larry Lambert, Attorney, appeared for the Ponderosa Estate property on Collard
Street. They have been assessed $5,285.68. They employed an appraising firm to
determine how much this property will be enhanced by this assessment. He read an
appraisal report from J. B. Featherston dated May 11, 1973, stating that it is
an 11.12 acre tract at Harding and Collard Streets. In his opinion, the best use
of this land would be for residential development. Three sales in that general
area show that land has sold from $900, to $1200, to $1500 per acre, with the first
sale being made in 1968. In his opinion, the Pondorosa Estates property would have
a market value of $1200 per acre before improvements, and a maximum of $1500 per
acre value after improvements are made. The property value would be $13,344 before,
and $16,680 after improvements. This would result in a $3,336 increase in value,
as opposed to the City's assessment of $5,285.68. It is conceivable that they prop-
erty could be improved not to the maximum value. The improvements will be to the
benefit of the property, but not in the amount assessed. Three hundred dollars
per acre is the amount that should be assessed against this property.
Alderman Boyd inquired who would pay the difference in the assessment. Larry
Lambert replied that it would be absorbed by the City, and paid by the general tax-
payer because paving does benefit the whole city.
The City Manager noted that appraising or assessing is not an exact science.
The City's figure of $1,650 per acre is $150.00 difference, or about 10 percent.
Perhaps the appraiser 's report could be off 10 percent? Mr. Lambert stated that
he did not know since he is not an appraiser, but he did secure the best appraiser
possible, which has also appraised for the City. It is an opinion, however. He
requested that the assessment be reduced to $3,336.00 based on the fair market value.
758
Item 4a, cont'd.
Alderman Still inquired of Mr. Lambert if his position is negotiable. Mr.
Lambert stated that this is all he has.
It was agreed that further consideration would be given this request.
Larry Lambert also appeared for Mrs. Maggie Thomas on Collard Street. Her
property has been assessed in the amount of $1,161.60. He stated that this property
is not abutting property, and is not assessable. He stated that there is vacant
land between her property and the street. He showed a line drawing of the plat
taken from the County Clerk's records. The area involved was conveyed to the City
by the School District in 1938. It appears that Mrs. Thomas has never owned any
of Block 6, but only Block 5. He cited a court case in which it was held that
property not abutting is not assessable. He requested that this assessment be de-
leted from the ordinance.
Mayor Wallander stated that this would be referred to the staff for study.
Mayor Wallander announced that if anyone in the room wanted to leave his name
and property location with Mr. Lillard, then they could leave and the minutes
would reflect that they were against the paving.
Mrs. Lewis Welchel, 4601 Coronado, stated that they have a hard top road that
is sufficient. She stated that the natural drainage has been stopped up by allow-
ing a builder to build two houses on one lot. Most people on this street are on
social security, or widows with children. She stated that they cannot pay the
assessment. It is not traveled heavily. She stated that she had a petition, which
she presented to the Council, in which the owners requested that drainage be im-
proved in lieu of the paving. Their assessment is $1,673.41. The Mayor stated
that this problem would be referred to the staff, and let them take a second look
at it.
Dale Kepler, 4713 Coronado, appeared for himself and H. C. Loudermilk, 4715
Coronado. He questioned why the paving had not been put in, and is the drainage
included in the paving of Coronado? Ernest Lillard explained that the drainage
will be corrected at the time of the paving at no cost to the property owner. Mr.
Kepler mentioned that Woods Convalescent Home was previously assessed for $4.00
per foot. He does not feel that the paving will enhance his property in the a-
mount presently assessed. He stated that Mr. Loudermilk cannot pay this amount
of the assessment on retirement income. He questioned assessing the paving since
it is already a black-topped street. He is not opposed to the curb.
City Manager Gerald Fox stated that the first block was reconstructed under
the reconstruction program, and only assessed for the cost of the curb, gutter,
and sidewalk, and not the paving. Some of the property owners evidently decided
to request the street to be paved under the assessment paving, rather than the
reconstruction program. He explained that it could be withdrawn with no indica-
tion given when it would be placed on the reconstruction program. Mr. Kepler
requested that the City withdraw this street from the assessment paving program,
and let them decide what they want to do as far as reconstruction. The Mayor
recommended that the staff look into it. The City Manager pointed out that if the
people desired to withdraw the petition, then it should be done with the knowledge
in mind that there is no way to determine when drainage or paving will be done;
that it is very indefinite. The Council requested that a petition be presented
to them from all the property owners affected requesting withdrawal of the street,
if that is what they desire.
Mr. Kepler also spoke for his wife 's aunt, Mrs. Mamie Wilson, 212 Clift
Street, stating that there is no way she can pay for it. This is side footage
on Third Street.
Al Hargrove appeared regarding access to his property on Monroe, back of
Fulton Street. He was instructed to work it out with Mr. Lillard. He is not
being assessed in this program.
Jerry Chenault, 3315 Garfield, appeared regarding his side property on
Hampstead. He stated that he is not really against it or for it. He inquired
concerning drainage installed as a result of a bond issue, and why Hampstead was
not paved in that bond issue. The City Manager explained that all those streets
759
Item 4a, cont'd.
that were paved at that time were assessed the same as he is being assessed at this
time. He also explained that some of the property owners are being given credit
for existing curb and gutter, and he is credited for nine lineal feet. He also
inquired how he could get his alley graded. The City Manager urged him to participate
in the alley paving program. Ernest Lillard stated that he would put it on the
program for grading.
Mayor Wallander recessed the meeting at 12 :00 P.M. until 7:00 P.M.
The meeting was resumed at 7 :00 P.M.
Alderman Still inquired what justification we have to pave Onaway Trail. Ernest
Lillard stated that they have a petition from the only residential owner on Onaway
Trail. Alderman Still believes we should eliminate this street from the program.
There are six houses and one business, and only one house that fronts the street.
The citizens ' cost would be approximately $7,500.00. He believes that no more
traffic than there is on this street, that there are other streets in Wichita Falls
that need their attention worse. He does not see that paving it is justified at
this time. He mentioned KNTO Radio station being at the end of the street. Ernest
Lillard stated that this street stops almost a block short of KNTO Radio station.
He also explained that they try to respond to petitions presented first of all.
A. L. Fitts appeared for the Berean Bible Baptist Church at the corner of
Taylor and Wooddale. He stated that this church has disbanded, and they have sold
this property on a sale contract. The Church as such has no money or income. They
sold it to the Holy Ghost Mission, and their contract states that the buyer will
pay all taxes and assessments. The Mayor stated that they would take it under
advisement.
Fred Cone appeared regarding 2527 and 2529 Terrace Street. He stated that
the paving would be more than $1,500.00 on these two houses. These two lots are
pie shaped, but have no depth to speak of. He inquired if there might be some
relief on this. Ernest Lillard stated that they could re-figure it based on equiva-
lent footage in relation to the front.
Mr. A. R. Watson (as noted by Ernest Lillard) is not opposed to the paving,
but is opposed to the amount of the paving.
a A letter was presented from T. J. Pyle, Jr. , opposing the paving of Van Buren
Street between Victory and Speedway.
A letter was presented from Alvin L. Robertson in favor of the paving of 28th
Street.
Mrs. Bernard McEachren, 2401 Vernon, stated that all on Vernon Street, except
one, are in favor of the paving. She questioned if the fair market value relates
to all property owners who want their street paved? Mayor Wallander stated that
the cost is based on front foot cost. She explained that this question relates
to the Ponderosa request. She presented a letter from Mr. and Mrs. William Cowles,
who are in favor of the paving of Wooddale Avenue. She asked how the contractor
will determine which street will be paved first. Mayor Wallander stated that he
felt it would depend on how much equipment the contractor had in certain parts of
town, and how far he would have to move it The area he is working in will have
a bearing on where he will pave.
F. N. Latham and E. R. King on Waco Street are opposed to the paving on a
hardship basis.
Mrs. John D. Measley, Sr. , appeared regarding property at Avenue L and Buchanan
at Avenue L. The only protest he has is that he feels the citizens should be able
to approve the prices that homeowners will have to pay. He is not protesting the
paving. Mayor Wallander stated that these prices are put out for bid, and when the
bid is received it is figured on this basis. He further stated that he believes
the City can hold a contractor to specifications better than an individual citizen
can.
Gordon Vrooman, 2001 Victory, appeared regarding Van Buren Street, stating
that he had recently purchased this from Thomas 0. Perry. He does not believe the
760
Item 4a, cont'd.
paving will benefit him in the amount of the assessment. He stated that he stands
to lose 27 trees, and shrubs as well. These trees are privacy for his home..
Seventy-five percent of the home owners (Raymond Kalski, himself, and Thomas J.
Pyle) feel that it will not improve their property, but deteriorate it. Ernest
Lillard questioned whether it would take as many trees as he stated. They do not
go back three feet from the curb. This is the last street in this area to be
paved, and it will complete it. The above named property owners are not in favor
of it. There is only one other property owner on this street, and he did not
appear.
Thomas Pyle stated that once a year a maintainer comes down this street and
blades it out. Sometime in the past this street has had some type of asphalt on
it. He mentioned noise in the area at night by hot rodders and night prowlers.
He stated that his house is 35 years old, and he will not get 2/3 of the amount
he has in it. He is opposed to the paving.
The Mayor stated that even after passage of this ordinance, it will not pro-
hibit them from removing or further considering any of them.

A proposed resolution was presented authorizing the City Manager to make
application for a planning grant for an airport master planning project. Bill
Fitzgerald explained that they are requesting an assessment of the aviation needs
761
Item 7a, cont'd.
of the community. It is a cooperative effort on the part of the City and The FAA.
It is a four-phase study, with three planning alternatives. Cost ranges will vary
from just over $32,000 to $58,000. The City's cost will range from $11,000 to
just over $19,000. It is anticipated that the City's share will include a sub-
stantial contribution of services, thereby minimizing the actual cash contribution
to the approximate range of $4,500 to $8,000. It is believed that the firm of
Bovay is the best qualified for this study. Land acquisition or major development
will require the master planning study. The City Manager explained that the only
figure in the contract will be the maximum amount which the engineering company can
bill us for. He further noted that the areas of this study will be in general
aviation, and not commercial aviation. He feels that perhaps Alternative three
will not be gone into at this time. The City Manager feels that sometime in the
future a general aviation airport might be constructed from general obligation or
revenue bonds. Revenue sharing funds are also available for this type of construc-
tion.
Alderman Morrison inquired just what would be in this study. The City Manager
explained some types of things which might affect us as a community. Alderman
Still explained that the Aviation Advisory Board had done a good job in working
out the mechanics of this proposal. The City Manager stated that by having the
airport master plan, it will make us eligible for federal funds for certain things
that we are not now eligible for. Alderman Still noted that the Aviation Advisory
Board and Bill Fitzgerald are due a vote of thanks from the Council for their
performance of this task.

Helen Farabee, appeared as secretary of the Children and Youth Action Council,
requesting financial support of an infant care program. This organization was
formed by the Wichita County Child Welfare Board to serve as an overall coordinat-
ing agency for all day care centers in Wichita Falls, and to expand child care
services to meet documented needs. In a survey which was conducted, the number one
priority for action showed that there are no day care centers in Wichita Falls for
the diaper age children. It was the only area that showed a complete vacuum of
service. They were advised to make this their Number One priority. She stated
that judges see on the average one case a week in which the family would be benefited
if the mother could seek employment if she had child care available. They have to
date found no way to fund a program which would meet the needs of a day care center.
They are asking the City to be the catalyst for this community. They are request-
ing $14,500 for one year as a pilot project. They would employ three prople - a
registered LVN, plus two child care workers. They would provide nutritional and
health care and education to the parent. Wichita Falls Day Nursery at 403 Lamar
has stated that they have ample space and equipment necessary. The space, utilities ,
and insurance would be provided by them. This is located in the vicinity where they
found are more welfare and mothers who are heads of families. She noted that this
is a non-existent service, and not an expansion of another. It would be their pro-
posal to contract with the City for this service. They would take responsibility
for it.
Alderman Still stated that he feels they are to be commended for bringing this
program to the Council. Mrs. Farabee stated that they would make every effort to
support it the second year, but they may not be able to fund it completely. It
is possible that it could be continued on a yearly basis. United Fund has re-
sponded with their resources to the two to five age group of children in upgrading
and expanding this service, but they cannot take on this diaper age project. She
stated that it is possible that they will come back after 12 months and request
additional revenue sharing funds, but they do have options which they plan to ex-
plore. Mrs. Farabee explained that this program cost is one-fourth less than the
national average cost for this type of service. She feels that BCI would be open
to help once the program is established. They would be trying to meet the needs
of those who had no other alternative, and who were actively seeking employment.
The cost is projected as $28.00 to $30.00 per week, per child, or $1,400 to $1,800
annualy per child. They will not take any more money than is necessary to operate
the program if they can operate it for less than $14,500.

Item llc, cont'd.
Alderman Morrison stated that he appreciated that she was on the agenda as a
discussion item, and not for immediate action. They hoped to have a decision by
June 5. She stated that industry has requested this program. She also stated
that she realizes that any funding the Council might make could be discontinued
after one year.
Moved by Alderman Boyd that $14,500 in revenue sharing funds be made available
to fund this program for a period of 12 months.
Motion seconded by Alderwoman McCullough.
Alderman Campsey commended their committee for their interest. He stated
that he believes this is a charity business, and he finds it hard to convince him-
self that government should be in the charity business. He is in favor of trying
to help people to help themselves. He questioned if it were possible to arrange
for some woman who is qualified to rear children to take care of a few children?
Mrs. Farabee stated that they are only talking about those who do not have anyone
else to look after them. If they have a home to be placed in, then that is prefer-
able. Alderman Campsey stated that he does not feel that he has explored this far
enough to make a judgment on it tonight. He would rather postpone it. Funding it
by the City is not his idea of the way in which it should be done.
Alderman Morrison stated that he hated to be put in the position to vote
against it at this time. He feels that they have a standard of using revenue shar-
ing money, and he proposed that it be tabled at this time.
Aldermen Boyd and McCullough withdrew their motion and second.
Mayor Wallander explained that he hopes some service club will come to the
rescue of this group.
Item 12
i The City Manager requested an elevated water tank in the Southeast part of
town. Expressway East Industrial District is experiencing not enough water pressure
to meet their needs. This has apparently become critical for some of the industries
to obtain better water pressure. He requested authority for the engineering work
toward ultimate construction of a storage tank in the southeast part of town.
i
Moved by Alderman Boyd that authority be granted to proceed with the engineer-
ing plans.
Motion seconded by Alderman Still, and carried unanimously.
Moved by Alderman Morrison that future council briefing sessions and council
meetings be held at the same time. (He gave 3 reasons for his support of this,
stating that it does not extend to executive sessions authorized by the Charter,
but only to briefing sessions) .
Mayor Wallander stated that he felt the council members will not have the
same participation in council meetings as they will in conference-type sessions,
nor will they they come back at night. He feels both sessions are productive.
Motion seconded by Alderwoman McCullough.
Alderman Campsey stated that the briefing and work sessions are very important.
He agreed that he can -get more from a work session than he can before a microphone.
Between the time it is discussed in the work sessions and the time it is voted on,
he has time to think, and he needs that time.
Alderman Boyd stated that he agrees with Mr. Campsey regarding time to think.
One way might be to postpone it for two weeks. The matter of rushing into things
disturbs us all. He stated that they have information brought to them in work
sessions that the general public knows nothing about. They could if they desired,
but very few people attend. He is not opposed to the idea of opening those up a
little more.
Alderman Still stated that the Council has no control over persons appearing
at the council or briefing sessions. He feels that any citizen or member of the
news media is welcome to come to the briefing sessions, but when they come from
766
the briefing sessions they are ready to act on these matters with dispatch and
with thought being given to them. Alderman Still commended Mayor Wallander for
his willingness to call on the Council for work. Any citizen is welcome to all
these meetings.
Alderwoman McCullough agreed with the informality in sitting around a con-
ference table. She felt that perhaps Mr. Morrison's idea is having those who
usually attend council meetings in the briefing sessions.
Mayor Wallander stated that he did not think anyone has gone any farther to
attract people to the Council meeting than he has. People do not come to the
meetings unless they have something like they have today.
Alderman Morrison withdrew his motion, and Mrs. McCullough her second, but
urged the Council to very carefully screen their sessions.
Alderman Still moved that Mr. Morrison's motion be withdrawn indefinitely.
It was pointed out that it had been withdrawn, so no action was taken.
Dale Rice, 3601 Jacksboro Highway, appeared as the owner of Rice Auto
Parts. He explained that he was faced with a parking problem seven years ago.
He did have 12-15 parking spaces. Now he only has 3-4 parallel parking spaces.
He requested useof part of the space for temporary parking. He was advised to
write a letter requesting lease rights, and he thought it had been granted. He
was advised by Mr. Lillard that no action was taken regarding lease of this property,
and until further determination is made it will be necessary to remove all parking
from city property, including the area adjacent to the alley. He stated that
he lost money in December, January, February, and March for the first time in
eight years when parking was so congested. He feels they have taken away two-
thirds of his parking, and he is asking for part of it back. Mayor Wallander
explained that they would delay action on this until they hear from Victory
Baptist Church.
Fred Bryant and Carl Betts appeared from Victory Baptist Church. They ex-
pressed appreciation at receiving the letter from Mr. Fox, stating that the rec-
ommended terms of the lease are acceptable, with the exception of three things.
Length of term of lease was discussed, shrubs , concrete alley paving, and amount
of lease. They would not be permitted to build on it or put a sign on it. Mr.
Bryant stated that they hoped to purchase the property west of them. Regarding
the lease term, Mr. Fox stated that he would not be opposed to a five-year option
on the five-year lease. Mr. Fox also stated that the $500.00 proposed by the
City was reasonable. Mr. Betts stated that the church would go along with the
five-year lease and five-year option, and the alley paving.
Moved by Alderman Still that we lease the property outlined in the City
Manager's letter to Victory Baptist Church with a 5-year option; that we either
write into the lease agreement that they will place a continuous line of shrubs
along the property line or that the church agrees to maintain two men on the
parking lot while it is in use; that we add one condition to the City Manager's
recommendation regarding widening of Midwestern Parkway, that we can terminate
this lease for the five-year option period with a 12-month notice, and that we
reduce the rental to $350.00 per year.
Motion seconded by Alderman Boyd, and carried unanimously.
` The City Manager stated that if the Council desires to lease some of the
property at the Jacksboro Highway, then they should determine what property
they want to retain. Alderman Still suggested that Mr. Rice and Mr. Fox work
out something agreeable, and let it come back to the Council for approval. Mr.
Rice stated that 40-50 feet will be enough. Mayor Wallander stated that any
action they take will be on what they work out with the staff. He was granted
temporary permission to use the space for parking.
The meeting adjourned at 11 :00 P.M.
PASSED AND APPROVED this ` day of 1973.

✓ Item 14
Mrs. Helen Farabee again appeared regarding the request from Children and
Youth Action Council for funding of infant day care program. She explained that
she had explored a possible program through the Department of Public Welfare and
the United Fund. She stated that it may be possible for them to fund the operation
after September 1, 1974. The Mayor stated that the Council has expressed a desire
to appoint a committee to take a closer look at this program, and he appointed
Willard Still (Chairman) , Alderwoman McCullough, and with their consent, Howard
Large, Judge Ashley (or his representative) , and Bill Donnell.
768
Allen Ware read a resolution from the Board of Realtors endorsing the concept
of an activities center for the City of Wichita Falls.
Cletus Schenk endorsed an activities center for the City of Wichita Falls on
behalf of the Mounted Patrol. He also presented petitions to the Council for pay
increases for firemen and policemen. The petitions were referred to the City Clerk
for certification. Mr. Schenk stated that there are approximately 6000 signatures
on each petition,, and that they are presenting them individually for the Police and
Fire Departments since he understands that only one issue can be placed on the ballot.
He explained that they are requesting a $115.00 per month increase for the police-
men and firemen. Since 1959 we have lost 53 policemen - five so far this year, and
three others on the way. He further stated that if the Council does not choose to
give them a raise, then they are requesting that they present it to the electorate
within 90 days. The Mayor explained that the Council would await the City Clerk's
certification before they take any other action or discussion.
✓ Item 6a
Dr. Arthur Beyer, Chairman of the Citizens Advisory Committee, appeared to
make a report concerning the recommendations of the sub-committee on American Rev-
olutionary Bicentennial Activities. Don Wills and Syd Gaines are also present who
are members of the committee. For the bicentennial celebration in 1976, the committee
is recommending an activities center, swimming pools at the 3 high schools , restora-
tion of certain buildings, and the waste water treatment plant, which has already
been approved by the voters. Dr. Beyer urged the Mayor and Council to endorse and
put into forward motion the recommendations of the Bicentennial activities center
with revenue sharing funds. He suggested close cooperation with Wichita County.
He suggested that they institute a plan for the expenditure of revenue sharing funds
within 60 days, or at the August city council meeting. They recommended cooperation
with the board of directors of the Wichita Falls Independent School District on
swimming pools, with various civic organizations on restoration of buildings, and
with the BCI for the celebration in 1976. Dr. Beyer read an amusing Ode to Don
Wills for his attention to this committee.
Mayor Wallander commended the citizens Advisory Committee for their interest,
and stated that they would take it under advisement.
Don Wills stated that those who have served on the bicentennial commission have
considered it a privilege. Their principal thrust on the revenue sharing funds is
to make a capital investment for the community. In 1976 our general obligation
bond indebtedness will be reduced, and that will make more money available to take
care of other projects.
Ned Hollandsworth, a Presbyterian minister, stated that he feels the bicenten-
nial celebration in 1976 should represent some diversity of the land 's culture and
community. He asked in what way the high school swimming pools meet these needs?
There is no high school on the east side, and no swimming pool except at the YMCA,
which is by membership only. He feels that they will not have transportation to the
three high school pools. He feels this celebration should reflect the heritage
and faith of our people, and urged that the Council reconsider this goal . The
possibility of a swimming pool at East Side Junior High might be considered. We
should be sensitive to the citizens of the east side.
Mayor Wallander stated that the Council has not discussed pools at the schools.
He mentioned sewer and street improvements recently instituted for the east side.
He pointed out that no goals have been set as yet.
Baxter Featherston appeared as a representative of young adults of Wichita Falls .
He favored a bicentennial activities center - that we are in dire need of such a
facility. The money for it will come from the federal government, and not directly
from our pockets. He favored the County joining in also. The first thing to decide
is that we are going to build it, and then decide where and how it will be designed.
Preston McBee appeared as a citizen of Wichita Falls, and not as an employee.
He stated that this activities center has been brought to the citizens of Wichita
Falls twice, and has been turned down twice. He stated that he is not here for or
against the center. It would be a wonderful thing if we could afford it. He stated
that he believes a majority of the people again should have the right to say whether
we have the center or not, and knows that the Council will give the people the
right to be heard.

Item 6b
Mayor Wallander presented an honorary citizen award to Airman Gary R. Davis,
who was chosen as Airman of the Month.
Item 5a
The public hearing was opened on the 1973 Reconstruction program.
r
Frank Douthitt, attorney, appeared for Dr. Burris on Sunset Drive. He stated
that he feels the City is the only one being really benefited by these improve-
ments. Dr. Burris does not want the paving. He does not feel that it will benefit
Dr. Burris at all, but is done for the benefit of the City. He stated that if they
want to install curb and gutter then go ahead, but don't send him a bill for it.
Frank Coker, President of Southwestern Drug Company, stated that they are opposed
to the paving. They do not feel it will benefit them.
Charles Hill, 4420 Sisk Road, appeared in opposition to the paving of Sisk Road,
and especially the sidewalk. He appealed to the Council to hear the wishes of the
people.
L. A. Whittenberg, 4541 Sisk Road, stated that he realizes that curb and gutter
is necessary, but is opposed to the sidewalks, and requested the Council to waive
the sidewalks. He stated that there is quite a bit of traffic on the street.
Clint Cozart appeared in opposition to the sidewalks on 35th Street. He stated
that he is not complaining about the curb and gutter. There are about
about five families who live on this street, and no small children. He mentioned
Mrs. King's assessment.
Recil Joyce appeared regarding property on Sisk Road and Puckett Road. Sidewalk
has not been assessed on Puckett Road at this time because the property has not been
subdivided.
i
Meddie King, 1501 Bland Street, appeared in opposition to the paving of 35th
Street. She stated that she does not feel it will benefit her property, and that
she is not able to pay for it. She inquired why sidewalks are necessary. Mayor
Wallander explained that we are trying to improve the City for the future. She in-
quired concerning Norriss Brothers Lumber Company, and it was explained that they
I
are also being assessed for their portion. She mentioned the drainage, and the City
I Manager explained that it will be taken into consideration in the deisgn.
Marion Keen, 4425 Sisk Road, appeared in opposition to the paving, stating that
he had not talked with anyone who is in favor of the sidewalk.
John Corona, 4430 Sisk Road, appeared in opposition to the sidewalks on Sisk
Road, and requested elimination of them. He stated that there are very few small
children on this street.
Roy Parish, 4428 Sisk Road, stated that he is opposed to the sidewalk.
Al Borgfield, 1603 35th Street, suggested that perhaps the sidewalk could be
placed next to the curb to save trees and shrubbery.
Richard Morgan, 4743 Eden Lane, stated that he was opposed to the sidewalk, but
sees the point concerning future planning. He inquired how payment can be made.
It was explained that he would have a payment option at the time of completion of the
work, and that he would be contacted by the staff by mail at that time.
E. L. Keen, 4415 Sisk Road, stated that he could see no benefit of a sidewalk.
He feels that if a sidewalk is constructed, the City could pay for it. He is in
favor of the curb and gutter and street paving, but not the sidewalk. He also
requested load limit signs on the street.
Two letters were read by Mayor Wallander. J. Menasco at 300 and 306 Sunset,
stated he is definitely opposed to the paving. Mrs . 011ie M. Lancaster, 4403 Sisk
Road, stated that she is in favor of the curb 100 percent, but is opposed to the
sidewalk 100 percent; that she is not able to pay for it.

772
Item 7c, cont'd.
Larry Lilly appeared as minister of the Southwest Baptist Church on Coronado.
He explained that 10 of 13 property owners signed the original petition. After
the second petition was signed, they understood that the City would act on it at
a lesser rate of money for the same type of construction. They now realize that
the City will not construct the street under the reconstruction program at any
near time. A particular lot had been mentioned in that area where junk has been
accumulating, and Alderman Still requested that the lot in question be checked by
the Inspection Department.
Larry Lambert inquired if any adjustment was made in the Maggie Thomas prop-
erty. Ernest Lillard stated that it had been adjusted to a side lot footage.
Mr. Lambert still requested that the assessment on her property be deleted because
it is not abutting property. He also mentioned the Ponderosa Estates property,
and urged that the assessment be reduced as requested at the last meeting.
The motion for passage of Ordinance No. 2802 was carried by the following vote:
Ayes : Aldermen Campsey, Taylor, Morrison, Still, Boyd, and McCullough
