Mrs. Janet Conley, Senior Engineering Technician, Public Works Utilities
Administration, was recognized as Employee of the Month for July 2008. Mayor Pro Tem
presented Mrs. Conley with a plaque, a check, and restaurant certificates.
Item 4
Max Yancey, #3 Karen Court, expressed concern about people who plant trees that become
overgrown into neighbor's property. He asked that Council consider amending the Ordinance
relating to trimming trees back to the property line to provide notification to a property owner that his
trees are interfering with the neighbor's property and that it is tree owner's responsibility to pay for
trimming their trees.
Scott Storm, 4806 Kemp, stated that the City has brought an Industrial Park to the citizens
and we cannot take care of the businesses we currently have. The current economic condition has
caused businesses to go out especially small businesses. Small businesses donate to the
numerous athletic teams like soccer, basketball, baseball, and we are the bloodline of Wichita Falls.
If you go ahead with your Industrial Park, you need to look at the existing businesses and their
needs. We are being killed with taxes and we cannot even do business with the City. You need to
look at where you want to take this City. The Industrial Paris may be a benefit to the City and it may
not; it may sit like an albatross because of the economic situation. We use 4A and 4B funds to fund
358
Item 4 continued
the elite; you need to look at funding a small business committee to meet with a Council liaison. I
think the Industrial Park may be a benefit to the City but always remember "who brought you to the
dance".
Item 5
Minutes of the June 17, 2008 City Council meeting were approved as distributed.
Item 6
A public hearing was held regarding the proposed annexation of approximately
528.09 acres of land generally defined as being to the East of Hammon Road, to the North
of Hammon Ranch Road, and to the South of the existing City limits along Central Freeway
East, and contains the property commonly referred to as the Wichita Falls Business Park
and the property commonly referred to as Stanley Tools.
Mayor Pro Tern declared the public hearing open.
Mr. Dave Clark informed that after much discussion with the Board of Commerce &
Industry, the 4A Board and staff, it was concluded that it was in the City's best interest to
annex the developed Business Park. A Service Plan was presented to Council on how the
additional area could be serviced that would not tax the already existing services.
Consequently this area is being presented for your consideration and to give folks a chance
to speak on the expansion of the City limits to include this area.
Mr. Clark noted that the City's established policy is that when an area is annexed it
becomes automatically the most limited zoning district which is Single Family Residential.
Since that is not the intention, there is action already going through to Planning & Zoning,
pending annexation approval. to a more appropriate zoning.
Mayor Pro Tern asked for additional comments. There being none Mayor Pro Tern
declared the public hearing closed.
Item 7
A public hearing was held to receive comments concerning the proposed use of
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership Program
(HOME) Funds in a previously approved consolidated plan.
Mayor Pro Tern declared the public hearing open.
Mr. Clark stated that when it comes to the use of these funds, the City is an entitlement
community, which we are told when we receive funds. He reported that $1,404,776 will be
receiving, as well as $498,813 in HOME Funds, and we have $216,000 available to reallocate.
There is an Outside Agency Committee made up of Councilors Smith, Roberts-Burns and
Hatcher. He expressed appreciation to the Council Sub-Committee for their action and
consideration and their time spent to meet with all the applicants. We received requests for
more funding than we have, as well as limitations for the money for administration use and
public service. He enumerated the Committee's recommendations for the use of these funds.
Dee Decker, Non Profit Center Executive Director, requested that Council reconsider
funding them $6,000 for their Non Profits Scholarship Program for board training. Mrs. Debbie
White, Mrs. Mary Stengel, and Mrs. Sandy Shawver enumerated the reasons for this need and
the use of the scholarships.
Councilor Ginnings asked what other sources of funding they had. Mrs. Decker
informed that other sources of funding were fees for services, grants, United Way, and private
funds.
Councilor Ginnings asked if they had received CDBG funding last year. Mrs. Decker
replied that they had received $6,000 and the reason they were not funded this year were lack
of funds. Mr. Clark concurred, adding that the Non Profit Center did use the scholarships for
not for profits that were low to moderate income. CDBG funds have been reduced and if
Council funds this request, it would have to come out of General Fund. Council can make
changes to the allocation if you so wish.

Item 10a
Fire Chief Foster gave a report on the ambulance response times. He reported that
AMR is meeting contract requirements.
Fire Chief Foster reported that 1300 people have registered for the Code Red Weather
Notification, and encouraged everyone in the City to sign up.
City Manager stated that we had a good response but he would like to have everyone in
the City signed up.
City Manager reminded that there would be a Council Pre-Budget workshop next
Tuesday beginning at 8:30 a.m.
Item 10b
Councilor Roberts-Burns informed that there will be a town hall meeting July 28 at 5:30
p.m. at the Martin Luther King Center to sign up for the Code Red Weather Notification.
Councilor Roberts-Burns wished everyone a safe and happy 4th of July.
Councilor Barham received a call from a citizen regarding hanging limbs on the street
and a concern that he was being singled out on that block. Mr. Dave Clark will look into that.
Councilor Hatcher encouraged everyone to attend the SAFB Freedom Fest activities;
gates open at 3 p.m. He also mentioned the 25th Annual Kell House 4th of July Celebration.
The parade will begin at 9 am. and he encouraged everyone to attend.
Councilor Hatcher thanked Mrs. Decker, Mrs. White, Mrs. Stengle, and Mrs. Shawver
who came to talk about their need for the $6000 for the Non-Profit Scholarship Program. Due
to the cap in CDBG funds in order to provide the $6000 it would have to come from General
Fund. This is a very important program and there should be somebody out there to take care
of that so we do not have to encumber General Fund dollars.
Mr. Jim Dockery informed that there is a resolution that prohibits donating to
organizations unless the City had a hand in creating that organization. He stated that if Council
wishes they can amend that resolution. Councilor Hatcher commented that we would need
someone to step up and help with tht $6000 request.
Councilor Ginnings referred to the CDBG funds and the Adult Day Care and asked that
we take a look at this and find some money within this appropriation to help the Adult Day
Care. Mr. Clark stated that they had considered that and we learned from the Senior Citizens'
group of their struggle to keep that going. The cost per individual is astronomical, and the only
place to take that from is Meals on Wheels Program and Child Care, Inc. The Senior Citizens'
group decided to discontinue that program because they could not afford it.
Councilor Ginnings said he was aware of that; it is a very trying and arduous program.
It is just a measure of funding. He wishes that people would step forward because these are
helpless people. When you look at the Administration allowances and cost, $280,000 is 28% of
the budget and that would kill any other organization that is not federal. Would it be possible to
simplify procedures where we could put more into this program: I would take that up with our
congressman to cut the requirements.
City Manager commented that it is mostly staff and there is no idle time.
Councilor Smith stated that having set on the Outside Agency Committee, he agrees
with what others have said. We need to speak with our Congressman and Representative so
they can cut this onerous paper work on staff and maybe we can use that money for Adult Day
Care programs. I would like to see Council send out one of those "hot letters" to them.
364 ,
Item 10b continued
Mr. Dockery said that so much of what Administration and staff has to do is to monitor
outside agencies and they have to prove up what they are doing. It is a requirement put on us
and we have to monitor these organizations. It is onerous on us to have to administer that
program.
Councilor Smith informed that the proposed feral cat program ordinance will be placed
on the agenda sometime in August.
Councilor Smith reminded everyone that the new bus routes will begin July 7 and free
rides will be offered that week.
Councilor Smith informed that the Curtis Jenny Project continues and opens July 12
from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and will be open every Saturday. He invited everyone to go out on any
Saturday. They plan to fly the Jenny the first Saturday of each month.
Councilor Smith encouraged everyone to attend the SAFB Freedom Fest and enjoy the
fireworks out there July 4.
Police Chief reminded everyone that it is illegal to possess or set off fireworks inside the
City limits. We will have extra officers out this holiday and will be looking for those folks. The
fine is $200 to $500.
Fire Chief concurred with the Police Chief. He cautioned everyone to be careful; these
things can be very dangerous to lives and property. Police Chief added that a person could be
held liable for any damage.
Councilor Smith said that the opening of the Skate Park was a wonderful activity; there
was a great turn out. It is an amazing structure.
Mayor Pro Tern Elmore commented that he went by the Skate Park and there were
about 30-40 kids out there last night.
Mayor Pro Tern Elmore reinforced that it is definitely illegal to set off fireworks inside the
City limits.
City Council went into Executive Session at 11:14 a.m. as authorized by Section
551.074 of the Texas Government Code.
City Council reconvened at 11:32 a.m.
Mayor Pro Tern Elmore announced that no votes or polls were taken during Executive
Session.
