regarding the Community-wide Marketing Initiative.
Mr. Ayers spoke about the "Pride in the Falls Campaign" which they are
beginning; it is the initial part of the overall Community-wide Marketing Campaign. The
efforts of the "Pride in the Falls Campaign" is to raise $100,000, which 4B Board has
approved with a $60,000 investment, the Chamber of Commerce is going to put in
$30,000, and Downtown Proud is going to fund $10,000. This money will be used to
develop our marketing materials and our campaign as we go forward to our overall
campaign which we have also asked the 4A Board help fund and we have made certain
commitments as the Chamber of Commerce and the Community help fund this
campaign over the next three years.
732
Item 3b continued
Mr. Ferrell stated that this plan is a three year effort to generate enthusiasm both
within and without the City of Wichita Falls. The aspects that intrigue him are the aspect
of inspiring our community about the many wonderful things we have and taking that
particular inspiration and moving that outside the City in terms of a vibrant community
and in terms of a place to live, a vibrant community in terms of doing business here. The
Chamber, the City of Wichita Falls, Convention Visitor's Bureau, and Downtown
Development, all these coalitions coming together to form a very distinct marketing plan.
A plan that will say to the world what we in this room know about the quality, the
vibrancy, and the excitement this community has to offer.
We are asking you specifically to match dollar for dollar monies that would be
raised in our community in terms of individuals, foundations, and businesses, not to
exceed $250,000 for a period of three years. That will include complete marketing/public
relations that will cover everything from bill boards, signage, and a comprehensive
website to the public relations, a very professional program. It has been over 25 years
since our community has embarked on a journey such as this, and now is the time.
Mayor asked if their request is for a 4A match. Mr. Ferrell replied that it was and
noted that they had already received several individual pledges.
David Brock, 310 Hilltop, spoke against using 4A funds for marketing and
advertising; funds should be directed to create jobs. He suggested the City research
what Amarillo is doing with 4A funds for small business development
Item 4
David Brock, 310 Hilltop, asked that the City Website be kept updated regarding the
Council Agenda. He stated that Item 8h was not posted on the website.
City Clerk informed that the Council Agenda is maintained up to date and today's
agenda is posted including Item 8h.
Larry Sanner, 5007 Lake Shore Drive, asked for an update on status of Lake Wichita
Survey. City Manager informed that they would be receiving communication very soon on
that.
Mr. Sanner referred to vendors at MPEC and itinerant merchants and questioned if
the City is getting their 2% sales tax from these merchants or is it going back to the city they
come from. City Manager replied that staff will communicate with look into this.
Mr. Sanner commented that BCI is not providing small businesses incentives to
remain here. BCI and the City are looking at the tax base; something needs to be done to
grow small businesses. We have to keep small businesses alive in our City; they are the
backbone.
Mr. Sanner said that there is a lot of money going out of Wichita Falls on bids that
Council awards. City of Wichita Falls tax revenue has to stay in Wichita Falls. If more is kept
in Wichita Falls it will help small businesses. He does not see any efforts to try to keep small
businesses. He said he was neither for nor against the marketing campaign, he just wanted
to express these concerns.
Mr. Sanner referred to the resurfacing of Fairway Blvd. and stated that the City needs
to look into that; it is a very bad job. They are already patching that Blvd.

itinerant merchant's 2%. City Clerk informed that Council had removed the

Civil Injunction trial. Councilor Ginnings spoke in support of the City Attorney's
comment on the need to have a gang prosecutor.

suit relating to the Open Meetings Act on the next Council agenda. Support was
received and this item will be placed on the December 15, 2009 Council agenda.
Councilor Ginnings mentioned the concerns regarding the two large hotels
Holiday Inn and Howard Johnson. We have lost a convention because both
hotels were cited as sub-standard, and given the impact this has on our image we
need to get out ahead of things like this. He asked if we could have a high level
City Staff meeting with hotel management.
City Manager said that we could try to set up a meeting with top local
management and if not, then at the franchise district level. Maybe this could
include the Mayor and one or two Councilors and Bob Sullivan. We will offer to
meet with them; they do not have to meet with us but we will try. Bob Sullivan
meets with them regularly and addresses these issues with them and we are
where we are today.
Mr. Sullivan explained what they do trying to get a dialogue going. He
commented that the trouble is with the management companies and there has
been a lot of turnover at the Holiday Inn which causes a huge disruption of
service.
Councilor Ginnings said that we had been getting bids less than what we
budgeted and asked if it was a significant cumulative; he asked for periodic
information on that amount and how staff will direct it.
City Manager informed that it has not been that significant. We are
focused more on the General Fund property tax fund and lot of the vehicle service
bids and construction jobs do not come of out those funds; they come out of
Enterprise Budgets. We are watching our revenue resources and are giving you
monthly sales tax projections. We do have some purchases that have been
budgeted and we are holding back on those until March to see where we are. We
are also working on some retirement incentives which could assist the budget
situation if we do not fill those positions. We will continue to update you.
Mayor Lyne invited everyone to attend the opening this Friday of Fantasy
of Lights at MSU, and contribute to it since this is a voluntary effort. There are a
lot of holiday events happening, and the Convention Visitor's Bureau has a
brochure with all these events. He encouraged everyone to take advantage of
that; enjoy the museums and all that is happening this month.
Mayor Lyne hopes everyone has a great holiday season. We had a great
downtown parade and it was one of the longest parades; it was a great parade.
There is something to do in Wichita Falls almost every time you turn around.
