Discussion was held on a proposed traffic safety council. Alderman Morrison
stated that there is an inconsistency between the report and the ordinance. He
does not feel that certain persons should have voting powers. Ed Ilschner,
Director of Traffic, explained that this would be a group of people working to-
gether reviewing an inventory of needs. There would be no voting in a formal
manner. This body will not be recommending matters for legislation, but matters
of needs.

ordinance which would expand the duties of the Traffic Commission to include those
duties which would otherwise be performed by the Traffic Safety Council, with
consideration of additional members.

�s He stated that it is not the number of policemen, but the caliber of them. He

whether they are taking bribes or not.
Mayor Kruger stated that the Police Department is doing the best they can.
Other cities are experiencing crime increase, also.

Jackie Allen appeared regarding housing projects for retired, social security,
and disabled recipients. She urged consideration of a retirement home or apartment
house.
✓ Joe Adair, Jr. appeared as an interested citizen in favor of a swimming pool
in the Southwest part of town.
Alderwoman McCullough stated that she had attended a statewide conference
concerning the status of legislation pertaining to rape. She requested the City
Manager to secure figures and statistics of this particular crime in our city,
stating that perhaps we can take some pracitical steps to combat this situation.
Alderman Boyd mentioned the crime rate, and called on Lt. Harrelson to
explain what the Crime Prevention Unit is doing. Lt. Harrelson spoke of the rise
of burglaries and crimes within the City. He showed a map of different areas in
the City, and the burglaries and thefts in each since January 1. An officer will
go into various residential areas to explain what they can do do help. They are
trying to form citizens groups to work with the Police Department. A task force
of officers has also been assigned to high crime areas working with the other reg-
ular officers, beefing up their support.
Alderman Morrison inquired of the City Attorney if he had completed his study
of the electrical. code. Mr. Hodge explained that it concerns the mechanical code,
primarily. It requires anyone installing mechanical equipment to have a $2,000
bond. This is new, and heretofore has been unregulated. Any repair, as opposed
to installation, does not require a bond. He mentioned an overlap between the
electrical code and mechanical code, stating that this was not a problem that
was started by the passage of the mechanical code. The electrical code does re-
quire generally that anyone who does installation work obtain a permit and have a
license as an electrician. Alderman Morrison asked for a report at the next
council meeting.
Mr. and Mrs„ Guy Mathews , of Mats Refrigeration Service in Wichita Falls,
appeared. Mrs. Mathews read Section 404g of the Mechanical Code, stating that she
feels the law is not clear. City Attorney H. P. Hodge stated that if Mr. Mathews
could operate under the electrical law before, the Mechanical Code has not changed
that. Ernest Lillard stated that he has explained this to Mr. Mathews. The
Mathews ' stated that they just want to know in writing if they are required to
have a bond. (This is pointed out in the Mechanical Code) . Ernest Lillard pointed
out that Mr. Mathews is laboring the point of what repair or installation is. Mr.
Mathews stated that he did not want to put up a bond and then violate the bond.
The Mathews ' insisted on something in writing to allow them to do electrical work.
Alderman Morrison stated that it is commendable that a citizen is interested
in not violating the law. Mr. Lillard pointed out that we rely upon the inspectors
for their interpretation of a mechanical cabinet. Alderman Morrison again asked
for a report from the City Attorney.
Mr. Mathews stated that he feels he has had harassment from the inspectors.
They are turned down on some jobs that others are approved on. He stated that
there are two different inspectors involved. Mrs. Mathews feels it is a one-man
ruling as far as inspectors are concerned. The City Manager stated that this
situation is no different from other codes. Various and individual situations
come up that have to be interpreted each time. If contractors have questions
concerning interpretation of the code, then he can pick up the phone and call.
Mayor Kruger suggested that Mr. Mathews work with Mr. Lillard and Mr. Hodge.
His question concerns whether in securing the bond he would violate another ordinance.
The City Manager stated that they would provide the Council with the information, and
they can be the judge. All complaints will be processed on any employee in any
department.
Mr. Mathews desires an explanation of a mechanical cabinet. ,
The Board of Aldermen adjourned at 11 :26 A.M.

HOUSINC ASSISTANCE PLAN
This Housing Assistance P]_a.n is prepared to enable the City of Wichita Falls to
more fully determine its housing assistance needs. This plan meets that charge as identi-
fied in Section 104(a)4 (-f the Hous:in.g and Community Development Act of 1974 (P.L. 93-383) .
Introduction
The purposes -of the Housing Assistance Plan are: 1) to accurately survey the
condition of the housing stock in the City of Wichita Falls, 2) to assess the housing
assistance needs of lower-.income persons (including elderly and handicapped persons, large .
families, and persons displaced or to be displaced) residing i.n or expected to reside in
the community, 3) to specify a realistic annual goal for the number of dwelling units or
persons to be assisted, and. 4) to indicate the general locations of proposed housing for
lower-income persons. These purposes are discussed separately below. '
Survey of Housing Conditions
An examination was made to determine the housing conditions in Wichita Falls. This
included a survey of the c.ondi.t.ioris of the housing stock in thr city and a description of
housing conditions. Census data provided the primary source of i.nf,)rmation for this ana-
lysis with supplemental data being provided from the City of Wichita Falls' Housing Study,
1973 and Nortex Regional Planning Commission's Housing, 1972. Data was also extracted from
the City's Metropolitan band Use h;;.ta }3ank, a computerized system having information on all
parcels of land in the City .
The 1970 Census of Population and Housing identified '33,543 housing units in Wichita
Falls with 30,483 occupied units anal 3053 vacant units. 'lrhe ,avant units included 484
units for sale only, 1,499 for rent: only, and 1,070 other units which included: 1) units
sold or rented but riot yet occupied by the new ocmer or renter. , 2) units held for the
occasional use of the owner, and 3) units being held off the. n)arket for other reasons. As
little control could be eserci.sed over the status of the�:e 1 ,0;O units, they were removed
from the analysis. This removal left approximately 2.,000 va^r3nt units in the analysis.
The City of Wichita Falls Housing Study, 1973 and Housing, 1972 published by Nortex
Regional Planning Commission indicated approximately 3,200 residential units were in
deteriorating or dilapidated condition. Approximately 200 units have been demolished within
the last eighteen (18) mouths . Through this creation of the demolition program by the public ,
sector, it is estimated that the number of substandard units has been reduced from 3,200 to
approximately 2,800. These. 2,300 units are estimated to comprise 1.,800 occupied units with
1,100 being owner-occupied and 700 being renter-occupied, and 1,000 vacant units with 250
being of the owner type and 750 being of the renter type. These estimates were derived
through obtaining a proportion of owner-occupied units to tota.l occupied-units and renter-
occupied units to total occupied units. The same methodology was used to determine sub-
standard vacant units.
In determining the number of substandard units suitable for rehabilitation, a fifty
percent (50%) break point was used. This fifty percent (50%) break point is the same
"percent of replacement" variable contained in Nortex Regional Planning Commission's Housing, '
1972. Using this break point, approximately 1,400 units were determined suitable for
rehabilitation with 900 units being occupied and 500 units being vacant. The occupied units
consisted of 600 owner-occupied units and 300 renter-occupied units. The vacant units
suitable for rehabilitation consisted of 125 units of the o�mer type and 375 units of the
renter type. Of the 1,400 total units suitable for rehabilitation, 725 were of the owner
type and 675 of the rental type. The results of the survey of housing conditions are shown
in Table I - Survey of Housing Conditions.
Housing Assistance Needs
In addition to the survey of housing conditions, an assessment was made of the housing
assistance needs of lower--_i_ncome persons residing in or expecte-i to reside in the City of
Wichita Falls. This assessment included inventorying the number of households currently
requiring assistance, examining any displacement of households by the City or other agencies,
and projecting additional households expected to reside in the community. Census data
provided the primary source of information for this assessment with supplemental data being
provided from the Texas Highway Department, the City's Housing Study, 1973,. and the City's
General Plan.
The median income for Wi_cbita Fa1.1.s was $7,972 according to the 1970 Census of
Population and Housing. T;ihle F -1. of th.e same publication identified 89,198 persons in
households with an average. of 2.93 persons per household. These data represented approx-
imately 30,000 households in the City of Wichita Falls. Of these 30,000 households,
approximately ten. percent (1.0%) or 3,000 households pay in excess of twenty-five percent
(25%) of their salary for housing with. 400 households being Black and 200 being of Spanish
descent. These data are shown in item A of Table II, Housing Assistance Needs of Lower
Income Households. Proportions were used to determine the age classification and size of
the households by compar.i.ng total elderly households to total households and total house-
holds with less than five (5) persons to total households. Generally, elderly households
have less than five (5) per_sous per household. This was considered in determining house-
hold size for elderly and non-elderly households.
Displacement of households not be undertaken by the City of Wichita Falls in any
of its community development activities. The City did work with the Texas Highway Depart-
ment to identify any displacement efforts within the City on the part of that agency.
The General Plan for the City of Wichita Falls projected a 1.. 2% growth rate for the
City. This moderate growth rate was used to determine additional households expected to
reside in the community. I'his 1.,2 growth rate was applied to the 30,000 households
currently in Wichita Falls and projected that approximately 33715 additional households will
be expected to locate iithin the City within the next year. Of these 375 additional house-
holds, approximately 50 (1_0, - 15%) should require assistance. Additional Black and
Spanish households were drete.r_mi_ned relative to the proportion they comprise of the total
current households. As most: of these households will locate in Wichita Falls due to the
present industrial and economic growth of the City, the i.n.f_lux of elderly households will
be minimal. These data are shown in item C of Table II, Housing Assistance Needs of Lower
Income Households,
Annual Goal for Housing Assistance
From the survey of housing conditions and an an,al.ysis of housing assistance needs, an
annual goal for housing assistance was determined, This goal for housing assistance

including a first year goal_ and an expanded three year goal .is shoTwn in Table III -
Annual Goal for Housing Assistance.
As indicated in Table III, a first year goal of 52.0 total_ units with 504 being of
new construction and 16 being of existing housing stock is planned. The 520 total units
include 100 units of elderly housing, 200 units of military housing at Sheppard Air Force
Base, 80 units of assisted single--family housing (235) , and 140 units of assisted multi-
family housing. These units will a.11_ be of new construction except for 16 units of
existing multi-family housing. An expanded three year goal projects the City's assisted
housing needs during the neat three (3) years. Although the City of Wichita Falls does
not include any rehabilitation :in Table III, units may be designated for rehabilitation
during the second and third years after a legal opinion on the City's authority to make
rehabilitation loans is received .
The sources of housing assistance include the use of Section 8 funds for 100 units of
elderly housing and 140 units of multi-family housing. Of the 210 total units, 224 will
be of new construction and .16 of existing housing. The amount of Section 8 funds is left
blank, as Wichita Falls has not received notification of its aggregate amount of Section 8
Program assistance. Again., funds from CD block grants are not shown, but CD funds may be
used in the second and third program years after an attorney's opinion on the authority of
the City to use such funds .is received. Also, Community Development funds will be used
for capital expenditures which should encourage the housing market. These include paving
streets in CD target sectors and establishing high pressure sodium vapor_ lighting near the
three public housing projects. Other_ sources of housing assistance include 80 units of
single family housing (2.35) and 200 units of military housing. Housing assistance from
State agencies is not anticipated. This table was prepared with the assistance of realtors,
developers, and personnel- from Sheppard Air Force Base. It should also be noted that
single family assistance is recommended although this program is currently suspended.

2. REHABILITATION
I
1. The City of Wichita Falls does not intend to undertake any rehabilitation efforts
during the first program vear, as a. legal question concern the Ci.ty's authority
to make rehabilitation loans exists. Wichita Falls may wish to undertake
rehabilitation loans as part of its three year goal if a legal opinion concludes
that the City has the auttlor-ity to make such loans.
I
i
in this selection include. SGieppard Air Force Base and the Ci.t.� 's northern industrial areas
as major employment centers. The Ci.ty's Central Area is al.so of importance as a major
employment center as well a.s a provider of recreational_, retail., and other necessary
services. Although Gvic:iita Falls has not included any r.ehabi_li ation in its first program
year activities, possible rehabilitation in subsequent years should be located near the
City's Central Area. These selecti.ons. were identified with consideration being given to
site and neighborhood standards established by HUD. Also, the locations selected are of
sufficient size and number to enable a reasonable degree of flexibility in selecting
specific project sites, and avoid unduly limiting the availability of sites for otherwise
acceptable assisted housing projects. The attached map indicates the general locations
by census tract of planned projects for lower income housing.
Conclusion
The three (3) year goal. of 1,025 units should make substantial. progress toward meeting
the housing assistance needs of lower income persons. The additional units should also
contribute heavily toward upgrading the housing conditions of WI-chita Falls identified in
Table I. The general locations of these housing projects should further community
revitalization, promote increased housing choices for low income persons, avoid undue
concentrations of assisted holtsir!g in. areas containing a high proportion of low income
persons, and assure the availability of adequate public facilities and services.

TIIR:BF� YEAR SUMMARY PLAN
ONE YEAR PROGR)'",M
PROGRAM BUDGET
Figure I lists proposed activities to be undertaken over a three year period beginning
July 1, 1975 through March 30, 1.978. Activities are proposed in 13 areas.
The first proposed activity is to expand the demolition of dangerous structures.
The funds shown ($1.1.0,000) would allow for a concentrated effort in the target
sectors. Previous fLmds appropriated from general revenue sharing will be
utilized in non-target sectors and will pay the operational salary of the Code
Enforcement Officer- through March 30, 1976. The second program year will then
fund this operational salary under grant administration in succeeding years.
Any remaining general revenue sharing funds will be expended in non-target sectors
in 1976 and 1977. It is estimated that 350 - 400 vacant or abandoned dangerous
structures will. b,� demolished with the block grant funds.
The second proposed activity is to improve lighting in high crime areas and at
the City's low rent housing projects. The funds shown ($25,000) would allow for
the installation of approximately 261 high pressure sodium light fixtures in the
downtown, 92 fixtures at the three housing projects, and 52 fixtures along Flood
Street and Harding_ Street. It is anticipated that a 3/4 grant will be available
from the Criminal Justice Council to match this $25,000 for a total project cost
Of $100,000. If CJC funds should not become available., then $75,000 should be
allocated in the second program year to complete the lighting improvements. The
$100,000 will cover the initial capital expenditures for lighting, fixtures. No
appreciable increase or decrease is expected in the operating budget of the street
lighting depar_tmena as a restilL of this lighting improv(,-�ilient project.
The third proposed ictivity is to expand the assessment paving program in target
sectors. The funds shown for the first year ($228,000) :,,;,uld allow improvement of
38 blocks. Projpr.ts include:
- 5 blocks of Reilly from Duncan to Seventh ($40,000)
- 42 blocks of Linwood from Scotland Park to Tenth ($23,900)
- 3 blocks of N. Brook from North Fifth to North Eighth ($15,000)
- 2 blocks of Brida.ell. from Collins to Elizabeth ($:I_1,000)
- 2 blocks of Tyler from Ninth to Roberts ($12,000)
- 2 blocks of Fourth from Eastside Drive to Patterson ($10,000)
- 2 blocks of Sixt'rr from. Parris through McLaughlin to Reil_iv ($16,000)
- 2 blocks of Baylor from, Seventh to Sixth ($9,000)
- 12 blocks of Grace from Fifteenth to Thirteeni_Ii ($21 ,(,100)
- 1 block of Corwin from Washington to Jefferson 05,001))
- 1 block of Fift?i from Farris to Patterson ($5,000)
- 1 block of Patterson from Third to Fourth ($4,000)
- 1 block of Scotland from Central Freeway to North Broadway and 2 blocks of
North Broadway from Scotland rr. Nert.l-t Second ($1.2,000)
2 block of Hli.craber_h from Bridwei�L to Magnolia
2 block of Stratf:)rd between North Sevent:l) and North Eighth ($3,000)
- 3 blocks of Waco from t2.osewood to Edwards ($18,000)
- 4 blocks of Denison from East- Scott to Jal.,)n. c
Community Development funds to be used in the second and third program years have
not been programmed by blocks at this time. These blocks will_ be determined
during the first program year Ly the community development staff working with the
Director of Public Works. The above expanded assessment paving program of
$228,000 indicates only the City's share of a total cost of approximately
$375,000. The remaining portion of the total cost which is approximately
$147,000 will be assessed to adjacent property owners. This assessment is based
on a suggested maximum rate of $7.75 per front property foot and $5.50 per side
property foot. These rates are not presently the approved assessment paving rates,
but they are being considered as an alternative due to the large increases
experienced in construction costs and the corresponding increased burden on the
property owner. .
The fourth proposed activity is the development of a new neighborhood park on
property to be deeded to the City by Texas Electric Service Company. The funds
shown ($50,000) would allow for the construction of two lighted , fenced playfields
($24,000) , semi-automatic irrigation ($6,000) , restroom.s ($5,500) , playground
equipment ($2,000) , guard lighting ($500) and parking ($12,000) . Part of the funds
for this park will come from second year program funds. Even so, the park would
be fully operational by 'Late spring of 1976.
The fifth proposed activity is to improve Jalonic and Lvnwood East neighborhood
parks ($24,000) . Improvements to Jalonic may include restrooms, drinking foun-
tain, playground equipment and lighting. Lynwood East: improvements should include
drainage, irrigation, and l:i_ghting.
The sixth proposed activity is to improve Scotland Park. The funds shown
($26,000) would allow for reconstruction of -roadways and parking ($20,000) , addi-
tional restroom facilities within the ballfield fence (, 5,000, and additional
lighting ($1,000) .
The seventh proposed activity is to guarantee the continuiation of the City's com-
prehensive planning program. Currently, another federal grant allows the
employment of two planners, one administrative assistant, and two draftsmen. There
should be available monies to carry this long range planning program through
October, 1975. The funds shown ($18,000) would carry the program through March,
1976. This earmarking is a precautionary step for additional_ planning monies may
or may not be available. If additional planning monies are made available by
Congress, the earmarked funds shown would be reprogrammed. Without the proposed
carryover of $1.8,000 projects such as base mapping and "Midtown 2000" may not be
completed, and the City may lose its entire long range planning capabilities.
Such a loss would severely handicap the City's continuation in the block grant
program past 1975, for future applications must be based on a. continuing long
range planning effort.
The eighth proposed activity is to provide for conununity development staff. The
funds shown in. the first year ($23,000) would provide for the employment of two
individuals to administer, coordinate, implement, monitor, and evaluate the
first year program and to plan and develop succeeding programs and applications.
The funds Would cover salaries ($1_ 3,(:)(i0) , fr _,: ge benefits ($2,350) , and basic
office supplies, communication, and travel expenses ($2,560) . In the second and
third years, the cost of a Code Enforcement Officer, as discussed above, is shown
under grant administration. Three specific work tasks to be completed during the
first program year are 1) design of the clean up activity, 2) completion of a
"Neighborhood Community Center Study", and 3) completion of a "Loan and Home
Improvement Feasibility Study".
The ninth proposed activity is to provide for inflationary cost overruns.
Thirty-five thousand dollars is earmarked for contingencies or other local
option activities which may become necessary.
The tenth proposed activity is the improvement of Williams Park during the
second year. The funds shown ($31,000) would allow for the reconstruction of
roadways and parkways ($25,000) , the construction of a large barbeque pit
($5,000) , and lighting ($.1,000) .
The eleventh proposed activity is to improve eleven neighborhood. parks. The
funds shown ($55,000) would allow miscellaneous park improvements in the second
year to Bellevue ($9,000) , Ben Donnell ($2,500) , Bridwell_ ($15,000) , Fannin
($3,500) , O'Reilly ($3,000) , and Spudder-Lincoln ($22,000) . The third year
funds shown ($25,000) would allow miscellaneous park improvements in City View
($8,500) , Civitan ($2,500) , Lions Club ($2,000) , Southern Hills ($6,000) , and
Sunset Terrace ($6,000) .
The twelfth activitiv. proposed is a major clean up campaign in the target sectors.
The funds shown ($200,(__100) are an estimate and would pcssib_ly provide for the
removal of junk vehicles, weed cutting, street and alley right-of-way clean up,
removal of trash front the banks of the Wichita River, etc.. , etc. The exact
details of the campaign would be developed by the community development staff
during the first year of the program, and would be scheduled for an early spring
start-up date.
The thirteenth activity proposed is the construction of neighborhood community
buildings. The funds shown are an estimate and would possibly provide for the
construction of two neighborhood multi-purpose facilities, The exact needs and
associated operational costs would be determined through the completion of a
"Neighborhood Comaturkity Center Study" completed during Lite first program year by
the community development staff.
