The guest speaker will be the First United Methodist Bishop. Tickets can be obtained at the Martin Luther King Center. Councilor Elmore commented that they have always had great speakers at the M.L.K. Prayer Breakfast. Councilor Elmore wished everyone a Happy New Year and stated that he was very optimistic that we are going to have a good year. Councilor Barham referred to the City Manager's memo regarding Fire Station No. 8 and asked if we could do something to force this Contractor to get it finished; he knows the contractor is already into liquidated damages. City Manager informed that since we have put our foot down, the work is being done now, but he does not know if there is anything we can do to get the work done any quicker. We are looking for completion at the end of this month or next month. They have been told that we will enforce the liquidated damages. 495 Item 10b continued Councilor Barham mentioned that he had attended the retirement of three Police officers and a civilian employee last week and he wishes them well in their retirement. He commented that we lost over 90 years of experience in about half hour last week. Councilor Barham noticed in Sunday's newspaper that 14 Rider High School students received National Honor recognition and one of them was Councilor Ginnings' grandson; he congratulated him. Councilor Hatcher mentioned that he had contacted the Public Works Director and asked that we do whatever we can do to get the Colonial Park resurfacing done. He asked for a report on the lights on Taft Boulevard. Mr. John Burrus reported that they found an appropriate base to use on that and they are moving along very well and hope to get that work wrapped up in the next few weeks, then begin on Midwestern Parkway. He stated that any damage on sprinkler systems will be a TXDOT issue, but he will follow-up on that to see how it will be rectified as such. Councilor Ginnings stated the Council Strategic Planning and Park Board meetings are scheduled for the same date and he asked if the Park Board meeting date could be moved. Councilor Ginnings is the Council Liaison to the Park Board and did not want to miss the meeting. Mr. Jack Murphy will look into that. Councilor Ginnings thanked whoever was responsible for the clean up on our overhead and sidewalks; either TXDOT and/or Mr. Burrus' Department did a good job. It is looking a lot nicer. Councilor Ginnings said he was looking forward to having all those pigeon shields that are under the overhead completed because they keep things nicer. He commented that someone has blasted those and cleaned them up. Most of that is TXDOT, but the City is putting up the shields and I am proud of the City's initiative on that. Councilor Ginnings thanked Larry Krugle and his staff for responding to a graffiti removal situation that he called in. They cleaned up the graffiti in a very timely manner. We are on the road to graffiti removal. Councilor Ginnings mentioned a memo requesting the installation of flashing school speed zone lights, painted cross walks, speed bumps, rumbles, change school zone speed limits on City View Drive and asked if this was a City or Wichita Falls Independent School District responsibility. Mr. Burrus replied that it will be at the City's expense; we are in the evaluation process now. Councilor Ginnings asked if we had to comply with certain State standards of traffic, etc; Mr. Burrus replied in the affirmative. Councilor Ginnings mentioned a complaint regarding car burglary thefts during a recent BCI meeting at the Howard Johnson Hotel. He asked what the plan is to take care of these situations. City Manager informed that we have done a lot of work with that location as well as other parking lots and have actually made some arrests. It is at the forefront of the Police Department and they are using various tools including undercover operations to try to address that. Deputy Chief Gerald Todd stated that they have the flexibility with the Tactical Unit they picked up in the last year and have made some in-way with that. During the retail season around Wal-Mart, Lowe's, Sutherland's, and Home Depot we have had these types of burglaries in the past but we have had zero, which is a repeat from last year because of the heavy patrol out there. With the focus by Police on the retail businesses during holiday season, the burglars scatter from there to downtown area and the apartment complexes. So it is a chase around town situation. We do have some people dedicated to burglary and auto burglary. He cautioned the citizens not to leave anything of value in their cars. More than 50% of the burglaries were unlocked cars with high value items as well as contributing to identity theft. City Manager added that we are working with the hotels to remind their patrons to lock their vehicles. Some of those burglaries were pickups that had equipment in the back of their beds that were unsecured. 496 Item 10b continued Councilor Ginnings asked if the Tactical Unit had been reactivated. Deputy Chief Todd replied in the affirmative; we have the flexibility by Council allowing us to have a dedicated gang units and moving other officers to the Tactical Unit. Councilor Ginnings asked if Lake Diversion is a factor in computing our available water. Public Works Director responded in the negative. Councilor Ginnings asked if we have the ability to pump out of it and Mr. Schreiber responded in the negative. Councilor Ginnings stated that he also was optimistic for this year. Councilor Smith asked Finance Director to bring information in time for the Strategic Planning meeting on the effect of the drop in price of fuel or anything; what effect is the economy having on our three-month budget and where that could be leading us in the 2009-2010 budget. He asked that he provide Council that information before the Strategic Planning meeting as well as at that meeting. City Manager stated that staff will provide Council that information as well as some forecast information. We are seeing some savings in the drop of fuel but do not spend that too quickly because we are facing the loss of St. Gobain Vetrotex dollars and maybe the savings can offset some of the loss; also we do not know what the property appraisals will look like this year. Councilor Smith informed the public that the Council and City Staff will be meeting in a couple of weeks for a Strategic Planning meeting, and he encouraged citizens to let the Council know what is important to them on Strategic Planning. Councilor Smith stated that we are optimistic about a new year and a new start. He wished everyone a safe and Happy New Year. Mayor Lyne mentioned that there would be a town hall meeting in District 4 next Tuesday at Southern Hills School on Armory Road from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. and invited citizens to attend. Mayor Lyne said that it is a good time to hear from the public on what they would like to see on the Agenda for future. Mayor Lyne stated that this year will be a year of action with any luck at all and he is very optimistic about that. We all have ideas we want to see done and he asked the Council to write things down and get them to him and City Manager early for the Strategic Planning meeting. Councilor Ginnings informed that there would be a Neighborhood Watch Program at 6 p.m. on the same day and same place as the town hall meeting next Tuesday. Mayor Lyne encouraged everyone to come to the Martin Luther King Prayer Breakfast; there will be a good time for all.
