;Motion seconded by Alderman Bonner and carried.
The following rEmarks i th reference to adoption of the City-County Welfare
Board Minutes were' mddle:
V:�ughar.:"I hope that the Council will give close consideration to the sugges-
tion with reference to the employment of professtional trained workers as a possible means
of reducin:Z the welfare bill of the General Hospital, and at the same time the possibility of
the sug; estion as made of a full time city-county doctor who can further reduce the welfare
cost by visiting some of these patients in the homes instead of remaining in the hospital
all the tLae. We might be able to make considerable saving on our welfare load. I would
like to have a committee appointed who could make a study of this and determine whether or
not this could be done."
Mayor Spell: "Do you think it would be better for a committee to be appointed to confer
with the Commissioner's Court to see what their attitude would be?"
Alderman Vaughan: "It might be better to meet with the 1elfare Board thEmselves and
ask that the Welfare Board, the City Council and the Commissioner's Court consider this
further. i,,rith the idea of making definite suggestions regarding the employment of the right
people.' I suggest that we meet with them to see whether they want to appoint a committee
to meet and decide on these su-,estions, and find out from the Welfare Board as to what
their wishes are."
Thereupon Mayor K. C. Spell appointed Aldermen Vaughan and Thacker as a committee
of two to serve on this committee.
Alderman Thacker presented the following comment: "This is in reference to the
Item in the Minutes of the last meeting of the Traffic Commission - that we do away with
the rental of parking spaces for private use. I understand that a resolution is all that is
necessary stating the policy to be adopted, so that we will have no discrimination between
businesses.
"With reference to one particular business that has spaces set aside for business
cars - this policy will not affect their loading zones. Parking spaces for the public
should not be taken up for individual business cars unless special cause is shown. We have
only one existing contra ct that this resolution would affect. Under this resolution, 30
days notice would be iven, and if they desire, they can come before us stating their
objections.
f � = Y
v

"Radio Station KTRM needs spaces for their News Liner cars, the same as the
newspaper - they rent two spaces across the street from their station. The traffic Commission
would like to rent some spaces themselves if we would follow that sort of policy. I think
they should all be treated on the same basis.
"If such spaces are used for the purpose of loading merchandise in and out of cars,
that is a different proposition.
"If the officials of the Companies who are being effected right now feel that
this works a hardship on them, we would like for some one from the Company to appear before
us explaining their point of view,11
thereupon the following Resolution was presented:
RESOLUTION NO. 335
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF ALDERMEIN OF THE CITY OF WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS:
SECTION 1. That the rental of any street parking spaces, particularly in the
downtown area, but including the entire city, is hereby prohibited.
SECTION 2. Provided, however, on a t anporary basis, to facilitate traffic
during construction or building on property adjacent thereto, or across the street there-
from and in the :Waking of repairs to properties, or the streets, that this resolution

SECTION 3. Provided further that this resolution shall not operate to cancel,
amend or vitiate any present existing contract in wrgting, whereby the City in collecting
rentals for parking spaces, particularly in areas where parking space area is used for
ingress or egress to properties.

Motion seconded by Alderman Bonner and carried unanimously.
Ilderman Thacker made the following statement: "Several people have contacted me
about the penalty on water bills. Business people usually pay their bills once a month,
and unless they just happen to notice the bills closely, they have to pay a stiff penalty,
or be signing checks every day. Also people who are on pensions are penalized if their
bill comes due before they receive their check. Perhaps a 30 day period would prevent
our having so many delinquent bills;"
Whereupon a suggestion was made that the above and foregoing be taken up at the
next regular Council meeting axid that the Water Department be contacted with reference
to changing the present discount dates, and if a proper solution can be reached in time
before the next regular meeting to prepare an amendment to the Water Rate Ordinance, the
City Attorney may act accordingly.
Moved by Alderman Thacker that the meeting be adjourned.
Motion seconded by Aldeiman Bonner and carried.
The Board of Aldermen then adjourned.

Honorable Mayor & City Council
City of Wichita Falls
Wichita Falls, Texas.
Gentlemen:
By this letter MOTOROLA Communications & Electronics, Inc., wishes
to take exception to bid award :Wade by the City through recommenda-
tion of Department heads and/or the Council itself.
With the knowledge that most cities are free to waive bidding
formalities, it remains a common and accepted practice for a City
to issue complete specifications to which all bidders must adhere
for the acceptance of their bid. MOTOROLA has met both the bidding
regulations and specifications as written. We call to your specific
attention the sentence in the bid advertisement as written, "Any
bids received after 5:00 PM will be returned unopened.
Specifications in detail may be obtained at the office of Purchasing
Agent, Room #200, Memorial Auditorium."
Further, in the specifications paragraph #3, the following is
written: "Any bid, to be acceptable, must be accompanied by a
statement signed by an officer of the vending company, certifying
that equipment offered will meet these specifications."
For the above noted reasons, and the fact that the apparent success-
ful bidder had not signed the bid, certified, nor included specifi-
cations sheets, we are unable to understand or agree with the
acceptance of such a bid; namely, that of General Electric Company$
made indirectly by a dealer and not the corporation itself.
With reference to the late bid received, we also believe that your
City Attorney will agree with us in that contract law embodies two
basic elements; an offer and an acceptance by the parties involved.
At bidding dead-line .00 PM), the time for offering ceased.
-continued-

Honorable Mayor & dity Council �
Wichita Falls, Texas.
It should be noted that a second bid received by the City does
not meet specifications in all instances,
We at MOTOROLA feel that consideration is due a supplier who., through
honest effort$ meets specifically all bidding regulations and
equipment specifications. When compared cost"rAse„with other bids
meeting these same specifications and regulations, it is only fair
and just that supplier accept honorably its loss of an order. When
the reverse is true, it is felt that the City, in possession of
only one fully acceptable bid., may use its discretion in awarding
that supplier, or re-bidding the equipment.
We respectfully request your consideration of the aforementioned
points and will look forward to your fair decision,
Yours very truly,
