Item 4b
A proposed resolution was presented approving and authorizing the City Manager
to execute a contract with the Wichita County Heritage Society for a City of Wichita
Falls Historical Preservation Survey and Plan.
Alderman Shearman questioned the purpose of this study. He questioned Para-
graph (c) on Page 2 of the contract. He also questioned Paragraph D 2 (a) in the
Scope of Services regarding legal controls. He asked how it would benefit the City
as a whole?
The City Manager explained what the agreement is intended to do. The Heritage
Society has already proceeded with a portion of the plan. This money would be spent
for a consultant to identify historical structures, and architecturally significant
structures. He stated that under D 2 (a) , this could get into the landmark preserva-
tion ordinance.
Alderman Thomas also asked what value this study will be generally to the citi-
zens of Wichita Falls? Alderman Shearman stated that he is very much opposed to
giving someone legal right over someone else's property. Alderman Thomas questioned
whether we legally promised them this $16,000? City Manager Stuart Bach stated that
they had proceeded on this basis. Alderman Smith stated that there are some tax
advantages on a program of this kind. He asked if this would apply? He stated that
he is also concerned about stepping on other people's rights.
RESOLUTION NO. 2849
A RESOLUTION APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A C014TRACT
WITH THE WICHITA COUNTY HERITAGE SOCIETY FOR A CITY OF WICHITA FALLS HISTORICAL
PRESERVATION SURVEY AND PLANS.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN OF THE CITY OF WICHITA
FALLS, TEXAS, THAT:
The City Manager is authorized to execute a contract, a copy of which is
attached hereto, with the Wichita County Heritage Society for a City of Wichita
Falls Preservation Survey and Plans, for an amount not to exceed $16,000.
Moved by Alderman Smith that Resolution No. 2849 be passed.
Motion seconded by Alderman Thomas.
Mayor Hill stated that he would only agree on the basis of the people being on
a voluntary basis. Aldermen Thomas and Shearman agreed that we should do these
studies when we can, and only get a consultant when we cannot do it.
The motion was carried by the following vote.
Ayes: Mayor Hill , Aldermen Smith, Thomas, and Boston
Nays : Alderman Shearman
Item 5b
Bids were considered for the purchase of a picnic shelter at Jalonick Park.
Alderman Thomas asked who would put the structure together? Bill Hursh, Director
of Parks and Recreation, stated that they would. Alderman Thomas asked if we could
save money by getting someone to construct it, and buy from our local lumber yards?
Bill Hursh stated that he did not know whether we had that capability here in
Wichita Falls. It is a system where you bend this into shape. Alderman Shearman
stated that he would like to see what we are buying. He is disappointed with the
bus stop on Indiana. He would like to see our local people construct it. We have
a lot of contractors out of work. He believes we can do it cheaper. Bill Hursh
stated that the Parks Board had reviewed it. They checked into the matter, and
decided to use wood canopy because it is more attractive. The City Manager stated
it is one way to dress up the looks of our parks. We will have some problems with
metal buildings, as well as wood.
Alderman Shearman stated that he would like to see us look into the possibility
of a metal shelter. Alderman Smith stated that this is not just buying a finished
product. Construction costs have not come down. He feels they will be surprised at
the local prices.
Moved by Alderman Smith that the bid for a wooden picnic shelter at Jalonick
Park be awarded to Knori Associates, In. , of Friendswood, Texas, in the amount of
$7,387.00.
Motion seconded by Alderman Thomas , and carried unanimously.
Item 6a
Authority was requested to advertise for bids for construction of the Southside
Community Center.
Alderman Shearman asked about the stucco exterior, which will raise the cost
factor. He would like to see us look into a metal type building. The upkeep is
less on metal . Stucco in this part of the country has a tendency to crack. The
City Manager stated that, again, the intent was to try to build something more
attractive.
Administrative Assistant Mark Watson stated that it would be located behind
Bonham School on Armory Road. They have been waiting for a community center for
123
Item 6a, cont'd.
two years. He stated that we can afford the metal building. We would like to
stucco it in order to make it aesthetically pleasing. Alderman Thomas asked what
will be the future of the neighborhood centers? The City Manager stated this will
be looked at by the Parks Department. Alderman Thomas asked if most of the support
for community centers has come from the federal government? The City Manager stated
that CAC had supported some of this. Mark Watson stated that the Southside has a
strong neighborhood group.
Moved by Alderman Smith that authority be granted to advertise for bids for con-
struction of the Southside Community Center.
Motion seconded by Alderman Shearman, and carried unanimously.
Mayor Hill congratulated Mark Watson on his new position as City Manager of
Stamford, Texas.
Item 8a
The public hearing was opened on the proposed annual budget and work program for
1981 -82.
Slides of various programs were shown and the City Manager explained the revenue
sources for each fund. The general fund was explained. Mayor Hill asked how the
rent for the Activities Center compares with the expenses of it? The City Manager
stated that it has always been subsidized by the hotel -motel tax. Alderman Shearman
stated that the Activities Center is certainly a blessing for the City of Wichita
Falls, even though he did not support it in the beginning. It is a beautiful place,
and well-kept. It was noted that the cost to operate the Activities Center was
$325,624. Revenues amounted to $141 ,200. The hotel -motel tax applied was $93,000.
The transit fund was explained. The main source of revenue will be the inter-
transfer from the general fund. The new transportation superintendent is making a
study on what our rates should be, etc. Major decisions will be made in the tran-
sit program in the next three years. The federal government picks up half of our loss.
Jack Griffin, Acting Director of Traffic and Transportation, stated that there
are some regulations on the replacement age of busses before UMTA will participate.
Some of the small busses are not holding up. They are having all sorts of mechanical
problems with the small busses. The large diesel busses are giving us some problems,
but not as much as the smaller ones. The City Manager stated that, depending upon
the outcome of the study, they may replace ten busses next year.
The water and sewer fund was discussed by the City Manager. He also noted the
Martin Luther King Center, Data Processing, Health Department, and Risk Management.
Alderman Shearman suggested that we purchase ten sirens instead of five. He would
rather the money be put in sirens than some of the studies we run.
The Street Department was discussed. It includes a street sweeper, curb and
gutter repairs, and overall performance of maintenance improvement. The Sanitation
Department is projected to expand Project NEAT with an additional six trailers. It
will cost more to haul trash to the landfill with two or three men on the truck.
The trucks also cost more. Parks , Traffic Engineering, Activities Center Parking Lot
lighting, and Public Utilities were discussed. In Public Utilities , we have set
aside $163,000 overall for improvements to Lake Kickapoo dam, and also for an in-
spector to inspect the utility work performed by contractors.
Mayor Hill stated that he had had a number of people ask him why we need this
much lighting on the expressway. It was noted that they are converting to high
pressure sodium lights, which will keep the level of light at a constant thing.
The level of lighting will be somewhat reduced, and the cost will also be reduced.
The public hearing on the budget was closed.
124
Item 8b
The public hearing was opened on the proposed general revenue sharing budget.
The City Manager noted that there is $1 ,289,771 available. He also foresees
$27,000 extra. Of this extra $27,000, he proposed to place $10,000 in the family
residency program, $5,000 for the new telephone system, and $12,000 in street
maintenance. He also explained how the $1 ,298,771 would be spent.
Mayor Hill asked about restroom facilities in Weeks Park. He asked Bill
Hursh why we do not have this in the budget? He would like this to be recon-
sidered. The City Manager stated that they would do some costing on it. Alderman
Thomas agreed that the addition of a restroom on the back nine would add immeasur-
ably to it. Mayor Hill also noted that the greens are in bad condition. Bill
Hursh stated that crab grass is a big problem for them.
Dr. Robert L. Barenberg appeared for the family residency program, which is
located on Seventh Street. He stated that he appreciated the recommendation for
continued funding of that program. He presented material to the Council on
medical and primary care. He stated that he would be talking to the County at
10:30 on Thursday regarding their support of the program. They would like to
recruit those who have a high chance of remaining in Wichita Falls.
The public hearing was closed.
The Board of Aldermen recessed at 10:20, and resumed the meeting at 10:40.

Item 10a
A proposed ordinance was presented amending the City's franchise ordinance
with Lone Star Gas Company to permit the installation, maintenance, repair and/or
replacement of customer service lines, and authorizing charging for same.
125
Item 10a, cont'd.
Moved by Alderman Shearman that the proposed ordinance be tabled.
Motion seconded by Alderman Thomas.
Alderman Thomas asked why we need an ordinance? Why don't we just do nothing?
We have too many regulations in life as it is. We have gotten along fine just like
it is. Is it not done by Lone Star on a cost basis?
David Liles, Lone Star Gas Company, stated we had operated for a number of
years with no problems until federal regulations placed different responsibilities
on the gas operator for the safe transportation of the gas on the way the line is
installed, the material used, and the maintenance of it. It was previously done
by local plumbers according to the City'� code.
Alderman Shearman asked if we do not have city ordinances that specify mater-
ial , etc.? Mr. Liles stated that we do, but they are in direct conflict with fed-
eral regulations. In the federal regulations, the persons performing the services
have to be certified. City Attorney H. P. Hodge, Jr. , stated that regulations pro-
mulgated on the basis of the law carry the weight of the law.
Mr. Liles made a presentation concerning federal regulations on transportation
and service lines. He stated that the regulation imposes a duty and responsibility
on the gas operator to make sure the gas service lines up to the meter are installed
and maintained according to the regulations . They have provided an amendment that
would provide the control to match the responsibility given by the regulations. It
would cost each customer ninety six cents per year, starting five years from now.
He believes the more compelling reason is that the gas company is being held respon-
sible for compliance with these regulations. If the gas operator is to be held
responsible, then they whould be allowed to perform the work. One city out of 388
who have approved their version of the ordinance has required a plumber to do the
work. Four hundred five (405) cities have been contacted by Lone Star Gas Company.
Alderman Thomas asked if we do not pass an ordinance, does that release him of
the responsibility? City Attorney H. P. Hodge, Jr. , stated that it did not.
Alderman Shearman stated if the pipeline up to the meter is inspected, and it
does not pass their inspection, they do not turn the gas on, and this seems to be
pretty good control . Mr. Liles stated it is not just the initial pressure test, but
what happens to the service line through the years .
(Mayor Hill announced that it is 11 :00 o'clock, and no more bond bids will be
accepted after this time. Bids were presented to Harold McInroe, of the First
Southwest Company in Dallas. Mayor Hill stated that they would open the bids
following completion of the discussion presently being held. )
Mr. Liles stated that Lone Star would send one man out, and he would do all the
repair and inspection. Mayor Hill stated that he cannot see a resident having to
pay for two or three calls. He stated that we must take care of the public. Alder-
man Shearman stated that he had been in the service business for 20 years. If we
do this, it would give Lone Star Gas Company a monopoly. Mr. Liles stated that when
federal regulations were passed, it was for the transportation safety of the gas. The
reason they were placed in that responsibility was that they were the operator. They
did not seek this responsibility.
Joe Meissner appeared as President of Bailey Meissner Company, stating they are
in the supply business. He feels strongly about the principle of the thing. If it
is not definitely required, why do it? Any service provided has to be paid for some
way. We are not talking about all the service lines in Wichita Falls, just the
service line on the meter. The ordinance gives the customer a choice of who does the
work. Lone Star Gas Company is in the business to sell gas. They are acting under
the umbrella of protection of the government. To place them in direct competition
with private enterprise is against the basic principles. Let's change the plumbing
codes if they are not doing it right. Why change things when they are working pretty
well now?
The City Manager stated that the federal law states that the gas company has the
responsibility to see that all service lines are installed properly, but it does not
say that they are responsible for installing them. Alderman Shearman stated that
126
Item 10a, cont'd.
the way it stands now, the plumber makes a mercury check, the inspector makes a
check, and before the gas is turned on there is another check made. Mr. Liles
stated that the initial pressure check is not the problem, but the service line
coming into it. If an accident occured as a result of an improperly installed
service line, and the federal government and the Railroad Commission determines
that it was improperly installed, who do you think will be standing first in line
to receive the blunt where civil damages are concerned? You can understand why
we want to do it ourselves.
Alderman Shearman asked if our plumbers are licensed by the State of Texas or
by the City? It was pointed out that they are licensed by the State of Texas, and
registered with the City. He stated that he would want his line hooked up by a
licensed plumber. Mr. Liles stated that he had no licensed plumber on his staff.
The motion to table the proposed ordinance was carried by the following vote.
Ayes : Aldermen Shearman, Thomas, and Boston
Nays : Mayor Hill and Alderman Smith
Items 10d,e
Harold McInroe, of the First Southwest Company in Dallas , opened bids on
$4,990,000 General Obligation and $1 ,070,000 Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds .Bids
with effective interest rates are as follows.
General Obligation Bonds : Underwood Neuhaus Co. 11 .587394
Dean Witter Reynolds, Inc. 11 .513277
Republic National Bank of Dallas 11 .590719
First National Bank of Dallas 11 .6253

Schneider Bernet Hickman 12.192775
Blythe Eastman Payne Webber 12.3303
Rauscher Pierce Refnes, Inc. 12.043925
The apparent low bidder on both issues was Dean Witter Reynolds , Inc. , at an
effective interest rate of 11 .513277 percent on the General Obligation Bonds, and
11 .860368 on the Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds.
Mr. McInroe stated that he feels the market will stay in this high plane for
quite some time. He stated this represents a good bid in line with the market
place today. The bond rating firms stated that a 90-day wait would not be harmful
for the City of Wichita Falls in its rating. He does not believe we will see any
decrease in these rates for at least three to six months, and probably would not
be a great decrease.
Mayor Hill stated that he feels if we really need these things, then we
should go ahead with it. Alderman Smith stated that with Central Garage and other
projects in the City, he feels we should go ahead with it.
Mr. McInroe left to tabulate and check the bids for accuracy. Upon his return,
the following action was taken.
Moved by Alderman Thomas that the bid on the General Obligation Bonds be
awarded to Dean Witter Reynolds, Inc.
Motion seconded by Alderman Smith, and carried unanimously.

Item 12a
City Clerk Wilma Thomas reported to the Board of Aldermen that the Initiative
and Referendum petitions on the transfer station had met charter requirements.
City Attorney H. P. Hodge, Jr. outlined the procedure which the Board of Aldermen
would need to follow, and the options available to them. The referendum petition
requires the fewest number of actions.
Robert K. Roach, 1604 Singleton, appeared as Attorney for the petitioners,
stating that the concern for the initiative petition, and the time of the election,
are maximum limitations . They are not minimum. The time could be shortened. The
City Attorney stated that he feels they could meet the January 15 date for the
election. By December 5, the Board of Aldermen should have taken the final action
on it if they want to have the election in January. He recommended that the Coun-
cil take final action on both of these petitions by December 5. Mr. Roach stated
that these petitions in no way challenge any decision on the landfill ; only the
transfer station.
City Attorney H. P. Hodge, Jr. read the proposal as stated in the Initiative
petition.
Mike McAfee, 2711 Taft, stated it is true that the City collects 50 percent
of the trash in the Southwest quadrant of the City. Mayor Hill estimated 65 per-
cent. Mr. McAfee stated that the City only collects 50 percent of the refuse
generated in the City. Individuals and industry also haul trash. He stated that
the Lawrence Road location is not closer to the centroid of the City when you con-
sider all of the trash that is generated and hauled. The Seymour Highway is on a
direct route to the landfill , and he does not agree that it would be more expen-
sive to locate it on the Seymour Highway.
City Attorney H. P. Hodge, Jr. stated that all they need to do today is
refer it to a committee of the council , and make provision for public hearings .
131
Item 12a, cont'd.
Moved by Alderman Thomas that the full Council be named as the Committee of the
Whole.
Motion seconded by Alderman Shearman, and carried unanimously.
