Item 4a
A proposed ordinance was presented reappropriating available monies within the
general fund for use in funding unanticipated increases in electrical utility costs
in the Traffic and Transportation Department.
Alderman Thomas asked if this is because of rate increases in electricity?
The City Manager stated that it is .
ORDINANCE NO. 3833
AN ORDINANCE MAKING A REAPPROPRIATION FROM THE GENERAL FUND TO
ACCOUNT NUMBERS LISTED BELOW, AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.
Moved by Alderman Thomas that Ordinance No. 3833 be passed.
Motion seconded by Alderman Hampton, and carried by the following vote.
Ayes: Mayor Hill , Aldermen Hampton , Smith, Thomas , and Boston
Nays: None
Item 4d
A proposed ordinance was presented appropriating monies from the general
fund for use in funding tornado related improvements associated with the Federal
Emergency Management Administration Grant.
Alderman Thomas asked if these instances are where we failed to do something,
and the costs were not allowed? The City Manager stated that the fire station was
relocated. The cost of the slab and site relocation had to be borne by the City.
On the golf course we had $50,000 insurance on that facility, and they claimed to
reconstruct the same building just as it stood would cost about $58,000. FEMA
felt that it was repairable, but the City decided to build instead of repairing it.
We have lost the battle with FEMA, even with congressional help. We have exhausted
our efforts.
ORDINANCE NO. 3834
AN ORDINANCE MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FROM THE GENERAL FUND TO ACCOUNT
NUMBERS LISTED BELOW, AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.
Moved by Alderman Thomas that Ordinance No. 3834 be passed.
Motion seconded by Alderman Boston, and carried by the following vote.
Ayes: Mayor Hill , Aldermen Hampton, Smith, Thomas , and Boston
Nays: None
Item 7a
Bids were considered for a copier machine for the Police Department.
Alderman Thomas stated that he remembered that the specifications for this photo-
copier were very extensive. There is a tremendous difference in the bids. He asked
what we would lose if we went with BMI or Hirst? Don Pilcher stated that the speed
of copies was the prevailing factor. IBM will make 70 copies per minute; Xerox 45.
There is no warm-up time on the IBM copier. There were some other exceptions to the
bid. Supplies and maintenance are cheaper with IBM, also.
Moved by Alderman Thomas that the bid be awarded to IBM for a two-year lease
option in the amount of $1,044.38 per month.
Motion seconded by Alderman Hampton, and carried unanimously.
137
Item 8a
The public hearing was opened on the 1981-82 budget and work program.
City Manager Stuart Bach showed charts of expenditures in various funds.
He also stated that the performance productivity pay plan has been revised to
include five to twenty percent permanent step increases. The second category
is a quarterly award program. We hope to be able to implement the program in
the next six months of the year. All other recommendations in the budget are
the same.
William Horton, 4702 Priscilla, stated that he was not here to address
the Council as a labor representative for NAGE, but as a citizen and taxpayer
of the City. He stated that because he is a former employee he feels competent
to speak to their needs. He is speaking for a pay raise for city employees.
He stated that we must try to resolve the lack of communication and mutual
confidence between the City Manager and city employees. He stated that he
believes that a merit pay system program would result in reduced morale,
increased turnover through voluntary termination of employment, and lower
productivity. He stated that the City Manager must understand that you cannot
reward productivity, or penalize non-productivity, until you can effectively
measure productivity. He proposed that instead of Mr. Bach's plan, that current
classification grade levels be frozen until proper study and discussion can
take place. He recommended a proposal to return pay steps in the Police
Department, as well as to improve the salaries of firefighters. He proposed
an across the board pay increase to civilian city employees in the amount of
$75.00 each bi-weekly pay period. He stated that the manner in which the pay
plan process has been handled has turned from a professional procedure into a
challenge to all city employees to take it or leave it.
Charles Thomas, 4510 Shady Lane, spoke to improvements at the airport,
activities center, and lake sites , stating that he did not see much on the
Ringgold lake study. He also stated that he sure would have hated to have
operated his business for the past few years without merit raises. He feels
they are needed to retain long-time employees.
Elvin Dudley, 2415 Merrimac, appeared as a realtor, stating that he wonders
where we are going to get the money to pay for the services in the budget. If
property is appraised every year, the homeowners will be hit each year for more
taxes. He feels the leaders should try to find some other way to find money
for city operations. He asked the Council to think about people who have to
pay it before they raise taxes on real property, and try to find another way.
Nathan Brown, of Brown Properties, stated that tenants pay for these increases
out of their pockets because the tax rate is built into the rental schedule.
They are seeing more and more people forced out of housing because of the costs.
If we select the over 65 age group to receive an additional homestead exemption,
what are we going to do about the others? What about the disabled? He asked
the Council to consider the effect it will have on each individual citizen, and
the growth of the City? He stated that a resident per unit pays $300.00 per
year in taxes.
Alderman Thomas stated that we are not picking on homeowners and renters.
Fees for water, sewer, garbage, tennis, etc. are being increased. Alderman Smith
stated that tenants are getting a pretty good bargain for $300.00 a year for
services such as streets, etc.
Mayor Hill pointed out that the number of City employees has not doubled
since 1964. He doubts that we have increased more than 50 since that time.
Alderman Thomas stated that our ad valorem taxes are scheduled to increase.
This will come from new construction and improved values because taxes will not
be raised. He also asked about advanced payments from our large industries , and
rental at Martin Luther King Center. The City Manager stated that the CETA
program has been discontinued.
The public hearing was closed.
138
Item 8b
The public hearing was opened on the general revenue sharing entitlement
program. The City Manager noted that there is $1,316,095 available. He went
over the budget presented. Alderman Hampton asked about the impound yard. Mr.
Bach stated that it is already included in last year's revenue sharing entitle-
ment.
The public hearing was closed.

Item 10a
Discussion was held on a proposed resolution apportioning membership on the
Wichita County Appraisal District Board of Directors.
The City Manager stated that the property tax code allows taxing entities to
determine the size of their tax boards. In this county we have ten taxing entities.
The City and School have had four members. We pay 65 percent of the operating
budget. We cannot be reduced below 50.1 on the board. The school district has
voted in favor of a ten-member board. Other entities have voted for a nine-
member board. Under a ten-member board we have only 60 percent; for a nine-
member board, 55 percent.
The City Manager recommended the ten-member board. It would be consistent
with the school district vote. If there is any challenge in taxes in the courts,
this would help us later in any court ruling.
Mayor Hill noted that the other entities have all lined up together. Electra
pays only less than one percent of the cost of this. Alderman Smith noted that
there has been a great deal to do lately about equal representation.
RESOLUTION NO. 2859

RESOLUTION DECLARING NECESSITY FOR ACQUIRING, AUTHORIZING CITY
MANAGER TO HIRE APPRAISERS, AUTHORIZING ACCEPTANCE OF DONATIONS,
AND AUTHORIZING PURCHASE OR CONDEMNATION OF RIGHT-OF-WAY EASEMENTS
ON HOLLIDAY CREEK.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN OF THE CITY OF WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS,
THAT:
SECTION 1. It is hereby found to be necessary to acquire right-of-way
easements for the purpose of drainage, creek channelization and brush control on
Holliday Creek, on those certain 17 tracts of land in Wichita County, Texas, which
are fully described by metes and bounds in that certain document entitled "Field
Notes, Proposed Holliday Creek Easements, City of Wichita Falls, Wichita Falls,
Texas, August, 1981" prepared by Biggs & Mathews, Inc. , Consulting Engineers,
copies of which are on file in the office of the Director of Public Works for the
City of Wichita Falls, which descriptions are incorporated herein by reference.
143
Item 10d, cont'd.
SECTION 2. The City Manager is hereby authorized to employ qualified
independent appraisers to appraise such easements on such tracts of land.
SECTION 3. The City Manager is hereby authorized to accept donations
of such easements, and to certify the value of same based on such appraisals
for the purpose of the landowner's deduction of the gift for tax purposes.
SECTION 4. Upon receipt of the appraised values from the independent
appraisers, the City Manager is authorized to purchase such easements on
any of the above tracts which are not donated by the owners; the price to
be paid for such easements are the values as determined by the independent
appraisers.
SECTION 5. In the event the City Manager is unable to purchase any
such easement for the appraised value, he is authorized and directed to
cause to be instituted condemnation proceedings to obtain such easements
in the name of the City of Wichita Falls. He is further authorized, when
in his judgment it appears to be in the best interest of the City to do
so, to purchase such easements for an additional amount, over and above
the amount of the appraisal , equal to the estimated cost of condemnation
which may be saved by the City by avoiding condemnation.
Moved by Alderman Thomas that Resolution No. 2862 be passed.
Motion seconded by Alderman Smith.
The City Manager stated that we are going to try to get people to
donate this land. If they will not donate it, they can bring the values
back to the Council for their authorization. Nothing has been heard from
the federal level on the Holliday Creek project.
The motion was carried by the following vote.
Ayes : Mayor Hill , Aldermen Hampton, Smith, Thomas , and Boston

Item lla
Alderman Thomas mentioned letters from people on River Lane regarding
water and sewer facilities. He asked what the schedule is on it? Joe Smith,
Director of Public Utilities, stated that we have no schedule now. There is
no dedicated road. It never has been platted. Until it is platted, then
we don't have any easements to use. It is about one-fourth mile back to any
water main. The City Manager noted that if they would be willing to donate
it, then they could look at it next year. It might possibly be founded by
Community Development funds, depending on what we hear from HUD. Mr. Bach
will write a letter to those people, and tell them what is available to them.
The Board of Aldermen adjourned at 10:10 A.M.
PASSED AND APPROVED this day of 1981.
