Discussion was held on a proposed resolution approving a change order for
development of the creative play area at Wood Memorial Park.
Alderman Shearman asked why we are deleting the stone dome, and reducing the
drainage system? Bill Hursh, Director of Parks and Recreation, stated that we are
over the amount of available funds, and that we have a new material for the storm
drains which is simpler to use and install . Alderman Shearman noted that Alderman
Hampton had specifically requested that this park be fully completed. He also
asked where this drainage would go? Bill Hursh stated that it will drain into
McGrath Creek and on into Holliday Creek.
A motion was made by Alderman Russell , and seconded by Alderman Boston, that

Item 9a
A public hearing was opened on hazardous structures.
Robert E. Armstrong, 5024 Lindale, appeared in regard to property he owns at
4407 McNiel . He stated that he purchased the property in August 1979, following
the tornado. He stated that he had built back several other properties. He has
mowed the grass, and his material is presently stored more than twelve inches
above the ground. The house is open. The temporary roof blew off. The main
reason he has not done anything is because of the high cost of money. He stated
that he is a realtor. There is too much house to tear down, but not enough to
warrant it to be repaired to be habitable. He feels that this fall he can make
interim financinq to repair it. He asked for an extension of time.
Mayor Hill noted that we have no control over the financing conditions,
and he did not see how an extension of time would help. He further stated that
it seems that enough time has passed to enable him to take care of this property.
Joe Ryckoff, Code Enforcement Officer, requested that the house be secured.
Sammie Pope, 109 Lakewood, appeared regarding her property at 4113 Faith Road.
She stated that they plan to build the property back, and they started
straightening it out this week-end. They have a No Trespassing sign on it. They
intended to put a parking lot on it, but they were unable to do so because of
restrictions. She is rebuilding the property--not just securing it.
No one else desired to be heard.
ORDINANCE NO. 3799

J Item 1Oa
Johnny Dixon was honored as Employee of the Month from the Fire Department.
Mayor Hill presented him with a plaque and two tickets each to a theatre and dinner.
Item 10b
Randolph Duke, 4131 Beard, requested an amendment to the ambulance ordinance
on the operation of an invalid coach service in Wichita Falls. He requested changes
in charges, red lights, remove Sections C and D completely. Retain Section E ex-
cept for the record keeping. Hours of operation should be left open to the dis-
cretion of the operator.
Mayor Hill stated that it is his understanding that an operator cannot make
money on the emergency system alone. He must also have the transfer service.
Mayor Hill asked Mr. Duke if he agreed with this? Mr. Duke stated that he rates
charged would depend a lot on that. Mayor Hill asked Mr. Duke if he wanted the
cream, and leave the skim milk? He stated that he wanted to get into the business.
It was pointed out that Mr. Duke previously worked for a company who had that
monopoly.
Mr. Delbert Gandy stated that Mr. Duke spoke for both of them.

Item 10c
David Liles appeared as Manager of Lone Star Gas Company in Wichita Falls.
He requested an adjustment in the rates of 1 .2 million dollars revenue increase,
or 11 .4 percent over the 1980 a adjusted eoperataonal that

Mr. Liles stated that the average annual increase in the bills for residences
will be from $275.00 to $309.00, or $2.80 per month on their bills. He requested
that the Council grant them a temporary rate increase during the time they are
studying this request.
Alderman Shearman asked about other cities in Texas of comparable size that
are served by Lone Star Gas Company. Waco and Abilene are two of them. Alder-
man Shearman asked if rate increases are also requested in these cities? Mr.
Liles stated that rate increases are going on in different towns at different
times. Alderman Shearman also clarified that Lone Star Gas Company is a division
of Enserch Corporation, who declared a stock split this year. He also asked if
PPG pays less for their gas than a person on social security? Mr. Liles stated
that the price per mcf is less for commercial than it is for residential use.
The commercial customer is paying a greater return on what they have invested in
them than residential customers. Alderman Shearman noted that the operational
expenses increase is pretty high, and asked why Wichita Falls is being singled
out in Texas? Mr. Liles mentioned a rate increase request in Arlington, and
stated that they are filed where needed.
Alderman Russell asked if we could join in with another city for this
study, or should this be a unilateral approach? City Manager Stuart Bach stated
that it should be unilateral .
Mayor Hill commented that the City has no control over operational costs.
This puts the City in an unfavorable position. He also noted that he has bills
in his pocket for May and June of 1980 and 1981 . The bills for May were 80 per-
cent higher in 1981 than 1980, with 1980 theJsa el amount of consumption. There was a
100 percent increase
Mr. Liles mentioned the gas adjustment clause paid at the gate for gas
fluctuations. Another factor which can influence these bills is a customer
charge. On low consumption sales this will influence this bill greatly. There
is a $3.50 minimum charge, plus the cost of the gas used. This charge has been
instituted since May of 1980.
City Manager Stuart Bach stated that he would have a recommendation for a
rate consultant at the next meeting. He did not recommend implementing a tem-
porary rate increase until he can discuss it with a consultant. Alderman
Shearman asked how much a consultant costs? Mr. Bach stated from $7 ,000 to
$12,000, depending on how deep they go. Alderman Shearman stated that it seems
Lone Star Gas needs the consultant. Mr. Bach stated that the staff does not have
the expertise to make this type of study. He will bring proposals from rate
consultants at the next meeting.

Mayor Hill noted that it seems that people are waiting for the City to mow
these lots. The City Manager explained that both labor and administrative costs
are included in the fee. We are contracting with private mowing contractors to
do this work. Alderman Shearman suggested that perhaps we should check on these
people who are doing the work. He mentioned seeing a half-done job in the 3900

Item 12b
Discussion was held on a proposed ordinance amending the motor vehicle junk
yard ordinance.
Frank Gibson appeared as attorney for several salvage dealers. The ordin-
ance was passed in January, with an anandnt in Feruary. Since City Attorneys offices work out
time they
have been working with the City Manager
some of these problems. The big cost involved is the fencing and screening. The
licensing requirement is very difficult for the salvage dealers to live with.
Willie Vaughan, a salvage dealer at 2609 Sheppard Access Road, spoke for the
salvage dealers. He is one of the owners of Wichita Salvage. He stated that some
of the things they have worked out with Mr. Hodge have been beneficial . He does
not believe the Council meant to pass an ordinance covering the people which this
covers. This would cover new car dealers, salvage pools , etc. This ordinance
definitely increases spending by the salvage dealers. He mentioned several
businesses which have been in the same location for from 10 to 33 years. He does
not think it is right for anyone to come along and tell him how to run his busi-
ness without putting anything in the pot. He stated that they can live with the
application for a license. He requested a simpler version of the ordinance.
Mayor Hill noted that Mr. Vaughan did not tell the Council any place where
they plan to cooperate. Mr. Vaughan stated that he believes the salvage dealers
will go along with fencing the front, but not the back. He asked why other
businesses such as pumping units, air conditioning businesses, etc. are not in-
cluded? He stated that he
feels
couldhlive can
withsafely
$100.00 that
license feespeaking for the
the
group. He stated that y
Alderman Shearman asked about the height of a chain link fence. Mr. Vaughan
stated that it is supposed to be not less than six feet in height. He also asked
the installed price per running foot of this chain link fence with slats. It was
estimated at about $6.50 per running foot now.
City Manager Stuart Bach mentioned the junk vehicles accumulated in the back
yards. He stated that many of these places said they were operating a salvage
business in these residential areas. He also stated that he had received several
calls from people in residential areas who are glad we have the ordinance. He
finds the suggested changes reasonable, and he feels they will find the Commission
reasonable.
Frank Gibson stated that the 30-day timing for fencing and screening is not
enough time. A solid fence or natural terrain was also discussed. The expense
of fencing on leased land might be impossible. If our goal is to attempt to
beautify the right-of-ways , it should be required only on the right-of-ways,
rather than adjoining properties. Mr. Gibson noted that the applicant will state
on the application that if anything is violated, the City Manager can revoke his
license. He stated that violations should be dealt with by the Courts. He es-
timated $10.00 a running foot for fencing. Ninety percent of the parts to repair
automobiles come from these salvage yards. If this is the problem, let' s just
require the salvage operator to fence or screen the frontage of the property
which he occupies , and scrap this ordinance.
City Manager Stuart Bach stated that a lot of people in the predominately
residential areas could put up a fence.
Frank Gibson asked why we should make an applicant agree that the City
Manager or Director of Public Works could take away his license if they do not
comply?
78
Item 12b, cont'd.
City Attorney H. P. Hodge, Jr. stated that if constitutional rights are involved,
it is not final , and they have the right to go to court. The City has the right
to have final action as long as it does not prevent them from judicial process.
Mr. Gibson disagrees with this statement being in the application, but they do
not object to screening the right-of-way.
A motion was made by Alderman Shearman to accept this ordinance by deleting
authorized use of chain link fence and slats, and add to it woven chain link
fence to block the view on existing right-of-ways . The motion was later withdrawn.
Mayor Hill stated that if we create a commission we should leave some re-
sponsibility up to them. He does not believe they will require anyone to fence
37 acres, but we need to have some faith in them.
Mr. Bach stated that the process is started when an application is made,
m>
and then they would come before the Commission.
A woman in the audience presented the residents ' viewpoint of these salvage
yards in the neighborhood. She stated that she has had cars four feet from the
wall of her house. She asked if they could be required to drain the gas out of
them? Mayor Hill stated that this would be left up to the Commission.
Mayor Hill suggested that we have another ordinance concerning the view;
expand the commission to five to include a salvage man; and, clean up the
language on the permit application.
The City Attorney thought they could come up with something that most every-
one can live with. Not everyone will be satisfied. He also mentioned side
fencing if there is a residence on the side.
A man in the audience wanted to know what there is about a salvage .yard that
is so bad to look at, rather than pipeline yards, livestock yards, etc. ? He
stated that he sees nothing disgusting about a salvaged car. Mayor Hill noted
that he probably wouldn' t if he's in that business.
ORDINANCE NO. 3805
ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 3758 TO CHANGE THE TERM "MOTOR VEHICLE
JUNK YARD" TO "MOTOR VEHICLE SALVAGE AND/OR JUNK YARD", TO PROVIDE WHEN
AN ALTERNATE MEMBER OF THE COMMISSION SHALL ACT, TO CHANGE THE STIPULA-

Nays: None
An amendment to this ordinance is expected to be presented in August.
The Board of Aldermen recessed at 10:50, and resumed the meeting at 11 :00.
Item 12c
Discussion was held on a proposed ordinance amending the franchise ordinance
with Lone Star Gas Company. The amendment would make Lone Star Gas Company
responsible for maintenance and installation of service lines and yard lines. The
present franchise ordinance calls for the customer to be responsible for this.
Mayor Hill wondered if this should perhaps be incorporated in the Lone Star
Gas study? City Manager Stuart Bach stated that it could be done.
Moved by Alderman Boston that this item be tabled until the Lone Star Gas
consultant findings are in.

Item 12c, cont'd.
Motion seconded by Alderman Russell , and failed by the following vote.
Ayes: Mayor Hill , Aldermen Russell and Boston
Nays: Alderman Shearman
David Liles, Manager of Lone Star Gas Company, stated that this request
has very minimum effect on the rate request. Federal regulations hold Lone
Star Gas responsible for maintenance of lines, etc. If they are held respon-
sible for gas up to the meter, they are only asking for permission to control
these lines. These two items are not really connected. Lone Star is being in-
spected on these matters. The Office of Pipeline Safety, in Washington, has
rules they have to go by.
City Manager Stuart Bach stated that he talked to the Railroad Commission,
and it was stated that either Lone Star or a plumber could do the work. Lone
Star's responsibility is to try to determine if there is any problem in the
lines. Mr. Liles felt that perhaps he had not talked to the right person. Mr.
Liles suggested that letters be written to both federal and state enforcement
levels to find out just where their responsibilities are. Once this answer is
received, he sees no reason to delay it with the rate decision. The City
Manager will check it out and bring it back at the August meeting.
John Spyra, 2948 Cunningham, stated that Lone Star Gas Company initiates
the action anyway. They tell the plumber if it is leaking.
Item 12d
A proposed ordinance was presented amending the Code of Ordinances on the

Item 13b
Discussion was held on a proposed resolution authorizing the City Manager
to enter into an extraterritorial agreement with Lakeside City.
Kerry Roach, 1604 Singleton, stated that the necessity for an extraterritorial
jurisdiction agreement exists
because
Annexataon ordinance such
alsowhich
gave thisatossmalll�eties
its city limits. The Municipal
within another city's extraterritorial jurisdiction. When they overlap, neither
city may do anything except generally regulate subdivisions
i thea area.
Thestey may
not annex. Lakeside City would only g everything
South of Highway 79. What has been worked out is that Lakeside City will go in their
natural growth area for their extraterritorial jurisdiction. They will receive
18 percent instead of ten. It is on natural boundary lines. No property has been
split.
Jimmy Horany, a resident of Lakeside City, stated that he represents ten
property owners at Lakeside City. He stated that this question has been in liti-
gation since 1973. The suit at that time asked the court to resolve this extra-
territorial jurisdiction matter, and allocate at least one-tenth of the area to
Lakeside City. The property owners on the lake who have fishing ramps, patios,
etc. would be affected. He feels they should be allowed the one-tenth as author-
ized by law. If this agreement is adopted, it would cause some problems. The
reason this is coming up now is that there is a business establishment outside the
city limits of Lakeside City that wants to have a beer permit.
Mayor Hill stated that anytime two cities can get together on an agreement,
it is much better than going to court.
A motion was made by Alderman Russell , and seconded by Alderman Bostthat the
resolution be passed approving an agreement with Lakeside Cityapportioning
lapped area of extraterritorial jurisdiction.
The motion failed by the following vote.

Property, and its immunity from annexation by City for a period of four years
from January 1, 1980.
2. City will furnish water service to CECO on Subject Property at rates
equal to 200 per cent of the rates charged to users located within the city limits

pletely eliminates the standard out-of-city additional charge established by
ordinance, in which event CECO shall thereafter pay the same rates charged to
users within the city limits.

Subject Property, if desired, at rates equal to 150 per cent of the rates charged
to commercial and business establishments within the city limits throughout the
term of this contract, unless City's Board of Aldermen completely eliminates the
standard out-of-city additional charge established by ordinance, in which event
