Winston Wallander Mayor Harry Campsey X Lonny Morrison Willard Still Aldermen J. C. Boyd, Jr. Peggy McCullough Gerald Fox City Manager H. P. Hodge, Jr. City Attorney Wilma J. Thomas City Clerk Harrison E. Taylor Absent The invocation was given by Alderman Still. The eighth grade civics class from Zundy Junior High School was recognized by Mayor Wallander, with their teachers, Kenneth Tass and William Phillips. Mayor Wallander expressed appreciation to them for their interest in City government. Item 3 Moved by Alderwoman McCullough that minutes of the meeting held January 22, 1974, be approved. Motion seconded by Alderman Campsey, and carried unanimously. Mayor Wallander announced that he had received a letter from North Texas State University informing him that the City Clerk, Wilma Thomas, has successfully completed all the requirements for certification as a Professional Municipal Clerk. Mayor Wallander congratulated and commended Mrs. Thomas for this important pro- fessional achievement, which involved 200 hours of instruction, and many hours of home study. 1 Item 4a The public hearing was, opened on hazardous structures. No one desired to be heard. 7 f � / ORDINANCE NO. 2854 ORDINANCE CLOSING HEARING AND FINDING CERTAIN BUILDINGS AND/OR STRUCTURES TO BE DANGEROUS; COMMANDING PROPERTY OWNERS TO REPAIR, VACATE, OR DEMOLISH SAID BUILDINGS AND/OR STRUCTURES WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS OF THE DATE OF THIS ORDINANCE AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY. Moved by Alderman Campsey that Ordinance No. 2854 be passed. Motion seconded by Alderwoman McCullough, and carried by the following vote: Ayes : Aldermen Campsey, Morrison, Still, Boyd, and McCullough Nays : None. Item 5a An appropriation for emergency lighting in the Memorial Auditorium Building was discussed. The City Manager explained the operation of this system, and rec- 899 Item 5a, cont'd. ommended that the 10 KVA generator be installed and connected to the exits, hallway lighting, and auditorium lighting. There are 35 exit signs and 26 out- side openings. Fifteen units are needed for the auditorium, and 35 for the re- mainder of the building. Alderman Still questioned this $10,000 expenditure, and inquired what would be adequate. Alderman Boyd suggested that we get an insur- ance company to look at it to see how much lighting is adequate, and what they feel would be necessary. ORDINANCE NO. 2855 AN ORDINANCE MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FROM THE REVENUE SHARING FUND TO PROJECT NUMBERS LISTED BELOW, AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY. Moved by Alderman Morrison that Ordinance No. 2855 be passed, authorizing the City Manager to utilize the system designed for the purpose of providing for the maximum degree of protection, with the minimum number of lights. Motion seconded by Alderwoman McCullough. Alderman Still explained that he does not oppose an installation of this type, but feels more study should be made before we allocate a dollar amount for the project. The motion was lost by the following vote: Ayes : Aldermen Morrison and McCullough Nays : Aldermen Still, Campsey, and Boyd. Mayor Wallander stated that he is concerned about this situation, and be- lieves that we have a perfect example in this room this morning of what could happen in the event of a catastrophe. He stated that he is personally in favor of it. Alderman Boyd stated that he had no basis for a decision to install the lighting, but feels the insurance company might. He would like to know what the minimum requirement is before a decision is made. He would like for the City Manager to get some information on it. Item 6a Glynn Purtle, attorney for Cowden Cab Company, presented a proposed ordin- ance to the Council which they had prepared concerning insurance requirements. Paragraph (c) is the only change in the alternate proposal by the city staff. They are opposed to the first proposal. They are opposed to the excess insurance requirement. They feel that they should not be expected to pay more than the state law requires. Several years ago they acquired the excess coverage policy, not because it was required, but because they felt it was a good business pro- cedure. The new paragraph would require that the insurance company notify the City of any change in the insurance or cancellation. They feel that the 25-75 thousand dollars should not be an arbitrary requirement just because they have chosen to do this in the past as a matter of business. ORDINANCE NO. 2855 ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 31-36 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES , PROVIDING FOR INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR TAXICAB OPERATORS. Moved by Alderman Morrison that the original ordinance prepared by the City staff be passed, as opposed to the alternate prepared by the City staff, and that the cancellation notice wording be changed from thirty to sixty days throughout the ordinance. (This was later changed back to 30 days.) Motion seconded by Alderwoman McCullough. Alderman Campsey inquired why the City would require more insurance than the State. Alderman Morrison stated that the ability to satisfy a judgment is dependent upon the organization's ability to pay. By licensing a cab company to operate on our city streets we have a responsibility to the citizens of our community to see that in the event they are damaged that they will have an 900 Item 6a, cont'd. opportunity to recover to the extent of their damages. At this time the ordinance does not require this kind of protection. As a practical matter they have it, but feels the City should require it for the protection of our citizens. Suppose several accidents occured near the same time. Mr. Purtle stated that all accidents have been handled judiciously or in settle- ; ment. He feels this example is far fetched in light of their past history. They have had few accidents. He requested that they be reviewed periodically rather than making it a law. Alderman Morrison explained that if it is not changed, that future councils may have to instigate changes later rather than the company requesting it. Responsi- bility is the main concern. Alderman Campsey stated that he believed the Cab Company had shown good faith in purchasing this insurance without it being a requirement, and asked why we should make it mandatory. Mr. Purtle stated that he believes that the area of disagreement is whether the insurance requirements are left as they are, or whether they make it a require- ment by ordinance on excess coverage. They want to continue to operate as they are now, but that any change in their insurance program would be a proper subject for their attention at that time. Alderman Morrison pointed out that the Cab Company's good faith spoke very highly of their organization in obtaining insurance requirements, but there is nothing to keep it from changing by another operator at any time. If such happens, do they come back to the Council stating that they are not responsible, or do they come back and convince the Council that it is not reasonable. Mr. Purtle stated that the Cab Company has not shown irresponsibility, but it seems that Alderman Morrison is expecting the company to become irresponsible in the future. Alderman ` Morrison stated that he is not expecting it, but wants to protect ourselves from it. I Alderman Still stated that in his business they deal with securing sizeable amounts of excess coverage. It is a very complicated process. He asked if 60 days notificatiion relieves the time burden on the company to secure other insurance. Mr. Purtle stated that the longer time it could be, the less objectionable the ordinance would be. Alderman Still explained that making the applications is very time consuming. He asked Mr. Cowden when the insurance was taken out with this carrier. Mr. Cowden stated that this is the fourth year. The former carrier got out of the excess coverage business. They have had the excess coverage policy for 10-12 years. He stated that the cab rider would be the one who pays for this. To make a cab rider carry any more insurance than other people on the street is gross discrimination. Alderman Morrison stated that the .amount of time would not be a problem as long as the insurance company and city agree on it. City Manager Gerald Fox stated that he did not find any other city who re- quired excess coverage. Alderman Campsey stated that he did not see why we should require it either. Alderman Still inquired if it would be of any benefit to delay passage of this ordinance for more information from the insurance coverage. Mr. Cowden stated that he thought it would be in order to find out what it would cost. Mr. Cowden stated that if the self-insurance is cancelled, and they have to go to 10-20-5 , then their costs will increase greatly. A substitute motion was moved by Alderman Still to place this same ordinance on the next council meeting agenda for action, and that in the meantime Mr. Cowden and his attorney talk with their insurance company, and share .any information with the City Manager. Motion seconded by Alderman Campsey. The previous motion made by Alderman Morrison, and seconded by Alderwoman McCullough, were withdrawn, and the substitute motion was not voted upon. J Item 7a } A proposed resolution was presented approving a police educational incentive ut pay grant request. 901 Item 7a, cont'd. ;1 RESOLUTION NO. 1502 RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING EDUCATIONAL INCENTIVE PAY IN ADDITION TO REGULAR PAY FOR POLICEMEN. WHEREAS, that certain statute known as Chapter 140, Page 300, adopted by the 63rd Legislature in 1973, granted authority to a City Council to provide for the payment of educational incentive pay. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN OF THE CITY OF WICHITA FALLS , TEXAS , THAT: SECTION 1. There is hereby authorized the payment of educational incentive pay in addition to regular pay for policemen within each classification in Wichita Falls, who have successfully completed courses in an accredited college or univer- sity, provided that such courses are applicable toward a degree in law enforcement - police science, and include the core curriculum in law enforcement. An accredited college or university, as that term is used herein, shall mean any college or university accredited by the nationally recognized accrediting agency and the State Board of Education in the state wherein said college or university is locat- ed and approved or certified by the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Education as teaching the core curriculum or its equivalent. Core curriculum in law enforcement, as used herein, shall mean those courses in law enforcement education as approved by the Coordinating Board, Texas College and University System and the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Education. SECTION 2. To be eligible to receive such educational incentive pay, a policeman must have at least one year of service with the Wichita Falls Police Department, and must have completed at least thirty semester hours toward a baccalaureate degree in a law enforcement program as evidenced by a filed degree plan with the college or university. SECTION 3. The rate for educational incentive pay shall be $2.00 per month per three semester hours; this shall not apply to any hours for which a grade less than C was received. Payments will begin at thirty semester hours at a rate of $20.00 per month and will reach the maximum of $80.00 per month when the baccalaure- ate degree has been obtained. SECTION 4. This program shall be commenced on October lst, 1974. Moved by Alderman Campsey that Resolution No. 1502 be .passed. Motion seconded by Alderwoman McCullough. Alderman Still inquired if we would be exercising good fiscal responsibility if we looked at it again at the time the grant is no longer available. There is no mention in the resolution of this. It was pointed out that this is the inten- tion. Alderman Morrison stated that this should be tied in with incentive. If we go through this program then we should give them some incentive that we will continue it. Alderman Boyd asked what hold we have on the man if we do send him to school. He feels we are entitled to put a string on it. Alderwoman McCullough explained that this is incentive pay for his own schooling. He is paying his own tuition, and he does not get any money until after he receives 30 hours credit. She further explained that the whole idea is to upgrade the police department, and this is an admirable goal. He goes on his own time and pays his own money for books and tuition. We may be able to keep him if we pay him more money. The City requires that he make a passing grade of C or above in each course. Paul Yeager stated that as long as two years ago they saw the need for further- ing education, and the coming requirement of two years college. They talked with Dr. Travis White, and the program was initiated at Midwestern University. The program has generated a great deal of interest. There are from 20-27 participat- ing. Other city and state agencies have incentive programs. Alderman Boyd stated that he now understands the program. The Council agreed to the stipulation of a grade of C in Section 3. The motion was carried by the following vote: Ayes : Aldermen Campsey, Morrison, Still, Boyd, and McCullough Nays : None 902 Item 7b A proposed resolution was presented authorizing update appraisal of Kell Free- way property. Alderman Still questioned the cost of the signs and the land, and it was decided to defer this matter until the next council meeting for more information. J f y' Item 7c fir' l- A proposed resolution was presented authorizing proposals to property owners r on Kell Freeway project. A RESOLUTION NO. 1503 WHEREAS, it is necessary to acquire the properties hereinafter described for construction of the listed project in the 1967 Capital Improvements Program, and, WHEREAS, such properties have been appraised by independent appraisers pl for this purpose by the Texas State Highway Department, and the amount of the mstated approved values, as determined from the appraisals, have been studied by the Board of Aldermen, and copies are now in the possession of the Director of Public Works and/or Assistant City Manager. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN OF THE CITY OF WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS, THAT: SECTION NO. 1 The project and properties to be purchased by Warranty Deed are as follows : Kell Freeway - Project 52-380 Warranty Deed Lot 20, Block 1, Boyd 's Subdivision of Grainger Park S. 24' of Lot 15 & N. 12 ' of Lot 16, Block H.

The authorized price to be paid for such tracts are the State approved values as determined from appraisals made by the independent real estate appraisers employed by the Texas State Highway Department. SECTION NO. 3 In the event the City Manager is unable to purchase any such tracts for such approved values, he is hereby authorized and directed to cause to be instituted condemnation proceedings to obtain such tracts in the name of the Texas State Highway Department. Moved by Alderman Still that Resolution No. 1503 be passed. Motion seconded by Alderman Campsey. Alderman Boyd protested the wide variation in tax evaluation and appraised value of part of the property. Alderman Campsey mentioned that appraisals are made every five years, and a lot of things can change in that length of time. He feels this is the best argument for getting our appraisals made every year. 903 Item 7c, cont'd. The motion was carried by the following vote: Ayes : Aldermen Campsey, Morrison, Still, Boyd, and McCullough Nays : None. J s Item 7d 1 A proposed resolution was presented approving a lease agreement with Rice Auto Parts. RESOLUTION NO. 1504 RESOLUTION APPROVING LEASE AGREEMENT WITH DALE RICE FOR PARKING AREA.

Moved by Alderman Morrison that Resolution No. 1504 be passed. Motion seconded by Alderman Still. Alderman Boyd inquired why we would require him to pave the parking lot. The City Manager stated that this is more desirable for both the business and the customers. Dale Rice stated that he would like to pave it when he gets the money. Right now he does not have it. The motion was carried by the following vote: Ayes : Aldermen Campsey, Morrison, Still, Boyd, and McCullough Nays : None.

In our judgment, this is the minimum size that will meet our speci- fications (220 cubic inch) . Ben Shelton pointed out that we have a 1965 Jacobsen mower which is falling apart, but the 1961 Toro is still operating. (Goldthwaites bid a Toro) .

Item lla Moved by Alderman Still 1 ll that a public hearing on hazardous structures be held on March 5, 1974, at 10:00 A.M. Motion seconded by Alderman Boyd, and carried unanimously. A five-minute recess was called. Item llb 3 . Budget Rent-A-Car lease proposal was discussed. Joe Mayo appeared, stating that all they are asking for is equal representation with other tenants regarding � office exposure parking,g, and prices. He stated that there is eight feet of space in the terminal which they can use. Paul Yeager pointed out on a drawing three areas which might be used by Budget to park their cars. Approximate costs to pro- vide this parking space would range from $2000 for 6 spaces, $2500 for 7 spaces, or $3400 for 8 spaces. Mr. Mayo stated that they would be happy to construct the parking area and deduct the cost from the commissions that they would pay to the Airport. Booth Owen appeared as the Avis licensee at the airport. He implored that the city staff recommendations be followed. Representatives from Hertz and National were also in the audience. The City Manager explained that Hertz and Avis had been at the Airport since 1963. National went there following an expansion program in 1966. Each had 11 spaces. Mr. Owen stated this was not enough. Mr. Couser pointed out that spaces have now been allotted according to revenue turned over to the City, with the allocation now being 16-9-8. Mr. Owen stated that the rise in industrial operation has about offset the decrease in deplanements. Alderman Still inquired in general terms concerning their financial operating condition. Mr. Owen stated that it is marginal - if he did not have other business he could not survive at the airport. Alderman Morrison confirmed that there is no counter existing at the airport, but there is some space vacated by Rio Airways. It was pointed out by the City Manager that APCOA invested about $100,000 in parking facilities at the airport. The City did not pay for the improvements by the rent-a-car agencies either directly or indirectly. He feels if the request is granted then they should pay for the cost of the parking facilities, and not reimburse any of it because it would be unfair to the other tenants. Paul Yeager pointed out that we are in favor of free enterprise, but we have had complaints about the congestion, even when Rio was located there. Larry Lambert appeared as attorney for Mr. Mayo and Budget Rent-A-Car. He stated that this was referred to the Aviation Advisory Board for their recommendation. It is his understanding that the information presented to the Council today was also presented to them. They only ask that they be treated on an equal basis. If this space can be offered to another licensee so that they can have other space, that will be satisfactory with them. They recognize that APCOA made the expenditure before, but also that the other rental car agencies did not make any expenditure before. The other contracts point out that they are not exclusive. Budget Rent-A-Car ranks fourth nationwide. They do not propose to steal business from the other agen- cies. They presently operate downtown, but if permitted to operate at the airport, then they would close the downtown location. Budget Rent-A-Car is 14 years old. The Mayor stated that he feels the staff has acted in good faith, and he feels we should treat all of them alike. Another request has been made, and another ex- 907 Itcm llb, cont'd. petted.

There are some practi- cal matters regarding space and market that should be considered. By June 30, 1975 , when the leases expire, we need a good general plan to consider at that time. The lease rental should be on a per car basis rather than total revenues generated by a particular agency. Today we should affirm the action of the Advisory Board and allow a terminal spot until June 30, 1975. He feels if parking space is needed it is not unreasonable for the City to share the cost, either directly or indirectly. Moved by Alderman Morrison that the City Manager be requested to prepare and negotiate with Budget Rent-A-Car and their representative for a lease at the terminal location, to expire June 30, 1975, on the same basis as presently exist- ing licenses, except with respect to parking. Motion seconded by Alderwoman McCullough. It was pointed out with respect to parking that if we only need the spacefor them, then the City should not bear the cost. If we need it anyway, y should not have to pay for it. Mr. Mayo stated that he needed 5 to 7 spaces, and that the cheapest parking area would be across from the employee parking area. Alderman Campsey inquired into some possible methods of payment. The motion was carried unanimously. Item llc �.
