Church, along with their sponsor, Dr. Geyer. He also welcomed a group of foreign
students from Sheppard Air Force Base representing China, Iran, Nigeria, and Thailand.
They were accompanied by Sergeant Tarkington.
Item 3
Moved by Alderman Kruger that the minutes of the regular meeting held May 9,
1966, and the called meeting held May 11, 1966, be approved.
Motion seconded by Alderman Burross, and carried unanimously.
Item 4
Mr. Clay Underwood, Chairman of the Citizens Advisory Committee, presented
their first report to the Council, stating that the projects they have studied
are very large and very important to the committee. Two years ago the urban trans-
portation division was started, which serves as a basis for more effective trans-
portation plan to the Council. The Texas Highway Department has set June 9 as
tenative date for this matter to be heard.
Mr. Henry Grace was recognized as chairman of the transportation committee,
and each member was named.
Mr. Underwood stated that representatives of the highway department, city
Traffic Engineering and Public Works departments had met with the transportation
committee to study various phases of the projects. By unanimous action the trans-
portation committee approved the Kell Expressway proposal and the North Beverly
facility. These projects will require both state and community financing, the
city's portion to be voted by bonds. It was the committee's solid recommendation
that these projects should be approved. Kell accommodates in town and out of town
traffic, and Beverly accommodates traffic to Sheppard Air Force Base.
John J. Roark, Director of Public Works, explained a map showing detail of
projected projects needed by 1985 in order of their priority. The Kell expressway
and North Beverly facility ranked highest. He also explained that if the annual
benefit of a project exceeds the annual costs. then the project is considered
beneficial.
It was estimated that the total cost of the Kell Freeway would amount to
twenty-five million dollars, with the citys share being four and one-half million.
The Beverly project would amount to a total cost of two million dollars, with the
city's portion being $645,000.
It was stated that the highway department deals with these projects in the
manner that they go on the approved list, and should they favor us on June 9, then
it would probably take a minimum of five years before the projects could be completed
889
Item 4 cont'd
and possibly more. The earlier the City acts on this recommendation, however, the
more advantageous it will be to us.
Mr. L. B. Dean, District Engineer of Texas Highway Department, stated that
telephone confirmation had been received from the Texas highway Department that
the urban transportation plan for Wichita Falls has received approval of the Bureau
of Public Roads. This is the first to be approved in Texas in ten years, and only
the second to be approved in Texas at all. Corpus Christi is the first town.
Other cities are now studying this matter.
Mr. Underwood stated that transportation is of the utmost importance in Wichita
Falls. If this had been done fifteen years ago then we would be ahead now. People
and industry go where good transportation facilities are available.
Alderman Kruger commented that we need orderly growth in traffic problems to
take care of orderly growth in population.
Mayor Rancier expressed gratitude to Mr. Underwood and the committee for their
efforts and long hours of study in this behalf.
RESOLUTION NO. 643
WHEREAS, the City of Wichita Falls and the State Highway Department have
cooperated previously on projects for better vehicular transportation within the
Wichita Falls area; and,
WHEREAS, as a result of the Urban Transportation Study by the combined efforts

for two projects of considerable magnitude was established; these two projects are:

82-277.
2. North Beverly (Loop 11) between U. S. Highway 82-277 and U. S. 287 Express-
way; and,
WHEREAS, more detailed information has indicated that these two projects should
be given top priority of all the projects required for the proposed 1985 transportat-
ion network; and,
WHEREAS, the projects are ones for which a need has been cited and the cost of
which are beyond the capabilities of the City of t'ichita Falls; and,
WHEREAS, the Citizens Advisory Committee composed of fifty-two lay citizens
of Wichita Falls has reviewed in detail the proposed projects and the costs involved
and has recommended unanimously that the State Highway Department be requested to
accept these projects on its system and that the City of Wichita Falls participate
in the projects for its pro rata share.
