rendered at 3006 Moffett in the County Court of Law. On that ground was construction
material . When he went back on May 27 to complete the project, the material was
all gone. He stated that the material could be used. The property was posted "No
Trespassing". He has pictures showing that material was located there. He stated
that the City of Wichita Falls came on the property and removed it. They stopped
working on the property, but there is still debris on it. He stated that he should
have some recompense for the material because it was valuable to him. The replacement
value would be a much larger figure. The time spent in cleaning it up, plus the
court suit on this vendor's lien, meant that this air conditioner could not be
removed. The City of Wichita Falls had sent him nine notices showing that this
needed to be cleaned up. Weeds were mowed and debris got together. He stated that
he lives at 1530 Norman, and there are weeds and debris behind his house there. He
stated that he received nine notices starting February 1980.
Mayor Hill stated that they also had pictures of his property, and the property
as it now stands.
Mr. Caddell stated that on the notices from the City of Wichita Falls, there
were cards which were mailed as enclosures , which were mailed back in. One was mailed
April 1981 and one in May 1981 showing the status of the property. At that time, on
this implied vendor's lien with Lone Star Gas Company, there was evidence which was
to be used in a court judgment, but he cannot use it now since it has been hauled off.
Mr. Caddell stated that points the Council should consider are removal of property
as property by conversion, trespassing, due process of law which was not carried out
in a reasonable manner, punitive damages, exemplary damages, court costs , attorney's
fees, judgment, etc. The error needs to be rectified.
Alderman Shearman asked Mr. Caddell if in June 1980 did he receive a letter sent
by the City of Wichita Falls? Mr. Caddell stated that he did. Alderman Shearman also
asked if charges were filed in Municipal Court? He stated that he received a summons,
but that he did not appear because he did not think he needed to. Alderman Shearman
further asked if he had received a letter from the Health Department in April 1981,
stating that the property was not in compliance? Also, a letter in July 1981, with
cards to be returned?
Alderman Shearman asked did he not think two years is enough time to get his
property in order? Mr. Caddell stated that he did not think it was. If the loan
came through, he was going to rebuild the house himself. After a period of time it
depreciated, and he started cleaning it up. He hauled in some new materials, chipped
and stacked the bricks and boards. On May 27 it would have been completed, but when
he went back the material was gone.

Item 12c, cont'd.
Mayor Hill stated that we want to protect his rights , but there are other
people out there who also have rights. It has been almost three years since
the tornado blew it away. It is his property, and very little has been done
to it except by the contractor which the City hired. Some pictures were taken
this morning, and he hasn't been in too big a hurry in cleaning it up. Mr.
Caddell stated that if this problem had been satisfied, it would have been
cleaned up much earlier. Mayor Hill informed him that if it had been cleaned
up, then he would not have had the problem.
Alderman Hampton commented that this started two years ago, and not last
year. The notice was given in June 1980, long before it was hauled off in May
1981. Mr. Caddell stated that if you have a structure good enough to build
on, it does not make sense to tear it down. He stated that it was mowed nine
times .
Moved by Alderman Hampton that the Council deny the claim in full in the
amount of $2,604.62.
Motion seconded by Alderman Smith, and carried unanimously.
Item 12e was postponed.

f u
arts, human relations , historic preservation, planning, traffic, community
clean-up, etc. Overall some 179 citizens now participate on the City's
I various boards and commissions.
4. Public Hearings.
Dependent upon the circumstances, public hearings are held for a number of
reasons, all of them with the objective of seeking citizen input and comment
relative to particular public business matters. Hearings are typically held
in connection with the City's budget and annual work program, as part of
the process of issuing various licenses and permits, and in association with
the several federal grant programs operated by the City.
City Council meetings conducted on the first and third Tuesdays of each
month also provide forums for public input. They are in essence public
hearings called for the purpose of performing the City's business.
The above represent the major "formal" avenues of communication and input avail-
able to the public. There are, of course, many more informal and less structured
means by which to present ideas, suggestions or comments. Telephone calls,
letters and simple conversations are the most common informal methods utilized.
Needs/Objectives
Though the picture drawn above appears to afford the public ample opportunities
to be a part of and to influence local governmental affairs, there is room for improve-
ment. While the citizen participation mechanisms now in use have in many ways been
successful, gaps do exist.
Involvement/801s, as outlined in subsequent paragraphs, has been designed to fill
those gaps and to build on the strong foundation already in existence. Expressed
Lin terms of objectives, Involvement/80's has been developed to achieve the
following:
f Overall Objectives:
L To implement a broad-based, city-wide citizen participation program.
To involve, on a voluntary basis, citizens in programs and planning activities
designed to enhance the quality of life in Wichita Falls and to improve City
facilities and community services.
Specific.Objectives:
To help maintain and to continue to foster the broad scope of activities and
extensive involvement of existing Neighborhood Action Groups.
To expand the horizons and involvement of Neighborhood Crime Watch groups
beyond crime prevention and into other areas of community interest and concern.

Agenda Item No. 10.e.

Building upon the foundation provided b citizen participation
b P P y p c patron at the program or
NPA tier, Involvement/80's envisions grouping several adjoining Neighborhood
Program Areas together into Planning Sectors. Based on the population of each
sector and using nominations furnished by each sector's NPA's, the City Council
would appoint a group of citizens to participate in the City's long-range planning
process.
The Involvement/80's planning group is intended to infuse greater numbers'of
people into the planning process, to provide a direct, representative avenue of
input into that process from the neighborhood level and to augment the efforts of
other City boards and commissions charged with long-range planning responsi-
bilities. With regard to the last point, as particular elements of the City's
Comprehensive Plan are developed or updated, the Involvement/80's planning
group would serve as an information provider to the affected board of commission.
If, for example, a revised and updated Parks Plan were proposed, then the
Parks Board would be able to use the Involvement/80's planning group as a
resource for completing surveys and questionnaires, for gathering ideas or sug-
gestions for park system improvements and for other types of assistance and
input.
Attached is a flow chart which the portrays relationships between the various bodies
involved in the planning process. The chart sets forth the flow of information
associated with that process.
Also attached is a table which enumerates the numbers of appointees to be made to
the Involvement/80's planning group from each of the City's 14 planning sectors.
Representation from each sector is based on population, with one planning group
representative being appointed per every 1,000 people located in the sector.
Though, due to the small number of planning group representatives in a few sectors,
it may not be feasible, each Neighborhood Program Area will be encouraged to
nominate one or more high school-aged youthrepresentatives to serve on the planning
group. Either that or they could seek such nominees from the high schools which
serve their areas. In any case, the intent here is to encourage youth leadership
development,_and, in our opinion, participation in Involvement/80's would provide
an excellent opportunity to advance such development.
Appointments by the City Council to the Involvement/80's planning group would be
for two-year terms. To assure continuity, initial appointments should be staggered,
with half the appointments being made for one-year terms and the other half for
-- two-year terms. After the initial appointments, all terms would be for two-year
periods.
Program Support
Much of the support needed to underglyd Involvement/80's will be provided via City
staff time and effort. At the program tier, activities will be coordinated through the
City Manager's Office and administrative assistants who will be assigned to work
with Neighborhood Program Area residents. Numerous City departments and other
organizations will be involved in presenting and helping to establish programs in
the subject areas of crime prevention, fire prevention , community clean-up, traffic
safety, etc.

Summary
Involvement/80's offers a framework for citizen participation in efforts to help
themselves, their neighborhoods and their city. It was the strength and wisdom
of this type of involvement which has successfully brought our city to its
centennial year. With that same strong, wise and visionary involvement, we can
continue to build and grow in the generations ahead.
