Item 2a Susan A. Lanford, M. Div. Director, Pastoral Care, URHCS, gave the invocation. Item 2b Councilor Barham led in the Pledge of Allegiance. Item 3a Mrs. Robbie Orozco, Municipal Court Deputy Court Clerk, was recognized as Employee of the Month for June, 2008. Mayor presented Mrs. Orozco with a plaque, a check, and restaurant certificates. In addition to her regular duties, Mrs. Orozco also serves as interpreter for Municipal Court. Item 3b Mr. Tom Merritt, representing the Wichita Falls League of Women Voters, gave a presentation on their study on ethics in local government. The Study Committee consisted of Larry and Irene Lambert, Dolores Pratt, Penny Miller, and Tom Merritt. A copy of their study is attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Wichita Falls League of Women Voters suggests that the Code of Ethics from the City of Corpus Christi be used as a model to develop and implement a City of Wichita Falls Ethics Code. Mayor expressed appreciation to the League of Women Voters for doing this work and their continued diligence in informing people of what is happening in our community. We will take another look at it after our budget process. f 338 Item 4 Phillip Aragon, 1626 Britain, representing concerned citizens on Avenue H and 1600 block of Britain Street, addressed two issues. First, this area has residences with many children and this street is being used by adults as a drag strip. As a solution, they suggest that the City put in signs depicting "SLOW, Children at Play". Mayor said that we will get with our Traffic Transportation Department and see about some other solutions. Mr. Aragon informed that they have started a Neighborhood Watch with the assistance of an officer. The second concern is illegal dumping in the alley by defiant persons who do not live in that neighborhood. The residents suggest putting addresses on each dumpster as well as locks on each dumpster. They have already appointed neighbors to do this, if the Council agrees. City Manager stated that staff will look into the lock situation, but we have done that before and the dumpsters have not been unlocked and we have had to make another trip, but we will look into that. Councilor Smith referred to the speeding and asked if it was speeding or drag racing. Mr. Aragon said he did not know he just knows that they floor the gas pedal. Councilor Elmore asked if this was a formal Neighborhood Watch Program. Mr. Aragon replied that they were in the process of doing that; but need the City's help. Councilor Elmore commented that there are City vacant lots out there. Mr. Aragon said that City Staff has come and talked to them about these lots and are trying to make a park out of it. Councilor Elmore said he would like to see some small parks in that area. Mr. Aragon said they would give Council notice of their next meeting for those who can attend. Ray Ramirez, 2319 Vernon, requested additional time to fix his property. Councilor Elmore stated that the had looked at that property. In February we gave him some time and it does have a new roof. There is a contractor that will do the work if we give him an additional 60 days. Mayor stated that we will get with him and Code Staff. At this point we cannot take any action since it is not on the agenda. We will take a look at it. City Manager said that Staff can check into this and put it on the next agenda if we need to. Item 5a The May 13, 2008 minutes of the Special City Council Meeting were approved as distributed. Item 5b The May 20, 2008 minutes of the Regular City Council Meeting were approved as distributed. Items 6-7(b) City Manager gave a briefing on the items listed under the Consent Agenda. Moved by Councilor Roberts-Burns that the Consent Agenda be approved. Motion seconded by Councilor Elmore and carried by the following vote. Ayes: Mayor Lyne, Councilors Barham, Smith, Roberts-Burns, Hatcher, Ginnings, and Elmore Nays: None 339 Item 6 RESOLUTION NO. 78-2008 RESOLUTION AWARDING A BID TO CDWG IN THE AMOUNT OF $88,355.30 FOR THE PURCHASE OF A STORAGE AREA NETWORK SERVER; FINDING AND DETERMINING THAT THE MEETING AT WHICH THIS RESOLUTION WAS PASSED WAS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AS REQUIRED BY LAW. Items 7a-7b Minutes of the following boards were received. (a) 4B Sales Tax Corporation, November 14, 2007 (b) Park Board, April 24, 2008 Item 8 a A proposed ordinance was presented amending Ordinance No. 25-2008 by allowing extra time to rehabilitate 902 Austin, 904 Austin, 1304 -15th Street and 1316 - 35th Street. Moved by Councilor Barham that proposed ordinance be passed. Motion seconded by Councilor Elmore. Mr. Dave Clark informed that staff had been out to look at this property and there has not been any activity to the property. Mr. Bobby Teague added that nothing has been done to 1304 Fifth Street. Mr. Robert Auld requested another 30 days in order to take care of the ownership situation, nothing has happened. Mr. Teague informed that no contact has been made with the other two. Mr. Robert Auld informed that he is still in the process of selling the property. Nothing has been done on it. We have not set a date to close on the property. The interested party is going to tear it down and build on the land. They own the lot next door. Councilor Ginnings asked what the problem was in setting a closing date. Mr. Auld replied that once the interested party told him they did not have a place to close; they were supposed to let him know something today. Councilor Ginnings asked if this was denied what would be the earliest time the City would demolish. Mr. Clark replied that it would be about a month to begin demolition; bids will be back June 14 which will be prior to your next Council meeting. Council consensus was to leave things as they are, leave on demolition list, to see if Mr. Auld is able to close before the demolition contract is awarded. Mr. Auld was instructed to remain in contact with Mr. Bobby Teague and that the interested party attend the next Council meeting to inform Council what they intend to do with the property, even if they close on it. Motion failed by the following vote. Ayes: None Nays: Mayor Lyne, Councilors Barham, Smith, Roberts-Burns, Hatcher, Ginnings, and Elmore Item 8b ORDINANCE NO. 32-2008 ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS, AMENDING THE CODE OF ORDINANCES, APPENDIX B ZONING, SECTION 4600 SCREENING REGULATIONS, SUBSECTION 4615 EXCEPTIONS; FINDING AND DETERMINING THAT THE MEETING AT WHICH THIS ORDINANCE WAS PASSED WAS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AS REQUIRED BY LAW. r 340 Item 8b continued Moved by Councilor Roberts-Burns that Ordinance No. 32-2008 be passed. Motion seconded by Councilor Smith and carried by the following vote. Ayes: Mayor Lyne, Councilors Barham, Smith, Roberts-Burns, Hatcher, Ginnings, and Elmore Nays: None Item 9a A proposed resolution was presented authorizing the City Manager to execute amended agreements with Archer County Mud #1, Dean Dale Water Supply Corporation, Friberg Cooper Water Supply Corporation, Red River Authority, Wichita County Water Improvement District#2, and the Wichita Valley Water Supply Corporation Moved by Councilor Hatcher that proposed resolution be passed. Motion seconded by Councilor Ginnings. Mr. Dave Clark stated that the City of Scotland needed to be added to this list. Mr. Clark explained that this is an unfunded State mandate under House Bill 1656 that the City be responsible for the inspection and certification of backflow prevention devices for irrigation systems and other risk elements. This requirement now includes not only the area within the City boundaries but also the area included in the City's Extra Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ). Mr. Clark added that this will be an expense to the City and it will be necessary to hire a plumbing inspector to accomplish this task and propose a new permit and fee to cover the costs. That fee will also need to cover the cost of a new vehicle, related operations, and extensive travel in the ETJ. It is going to be a transition to figure out how to do this out in the ETJ. Mr. Clark also noted that this is going to cause a reaction from those residents because they have not had service from the City of Wichita Falls. Any calls received from them in regard to this will be referred to our State Elected Officials because it is an unfunded mandate. Mr. Clark stated that they do not know the number of customers they are dealing with, and will try to do this with existing staff then will see if there is a need for a permanent position once they know the number of customers. Their intent is to recoup the entire cost for this process. He detailed the issues and concerns involved. Mr. Clark stated that the intent is to pass the cost to the individual customer and this is going to be very difficult. Councilor Barham felt the cost should go to the individual customer; not the governmental entities involved; it is not fair to penalize the entire group for the actions of one or two people. Councilor Ginnings was in favor of taking a more rational approach to this. We cannot control what these people do. He did not think it was practical and thought we should not undertake to do this and if we have to get an injunction we should seek that relief. He did not think it was a proper imposition of authority on us. City Attorney stated that it is very clear a State law is mandating us to do this. If Council wants to seek legal relief from that, we are taking on the State of Texas. This is a new law and there has to be some give and take as cities try to implement this as to what is practical in order to do this. His advice to Council would be if they want to challenge that State law lets be in compliance when we do so. He recommended Council pass this ordinance. Councilor Ginnings commented that we generally accommodate and accept; and suggested amending the regulations so that the customer system is our system. City Attorney stated that it is their regulations and we would have to do that through the legislature. 341 Item 9a continued Councilor Ginnings stated that we need to develop a plan to remove us from that position; it is not a good position where we are the overarching authority over all these systems. He would like staff to come back with a proactive plan that we can tolerate. Councilor Ginnings offered a substitute motion to send this back and ask our Community Development staff to bring us a compliance plan that does not just accept this but directs us in a way to amend some of these things and start some interaction with the regulatory authorities that would help us. Mayor said that he did not know that as a City Council we can amend State law; but we can be proactive both from a judicial and legislative standpoint. This is one of those things that was done thinking of those urban areas and not rural. Although we are a very urban city we live in a rural area where we provide many things. I think there are some things we can do. I would like to know how our representatives voted on this issue. City Manager stated that the State law is pretty clear and we do not have wiggle room so we will have to inspect back flow. He agreed that having a master backflow device at the point that it enters the water districts distribution system will not work because we miss those customers down the line, which can contaminate from that point. We need to work with the legislature and Texas Municipal League to get this bad law changed. When cities start implementing this and passing those fees on to those customers, at $750, to inspect I think the phones of our legislature will start to ring and that is more than we can do here to convince legislators to amend that bill. Mayor commented that he would take a proactive judicial approach as well. In dealing with collections, Councilor Ginnings felt we would have a better chance to collect from our water customer than all these individuals. He did not want to enable our staff to charge the customers of the various water authorities. He wanted it understood that the approach we are going to take is to charge the water authorities and cities. At least this way we are putting a barrier between us and some liabilities. Councilor Ginnings stated that there was not a method of remuneration in this document and felt it should be tabled until that information was provided. Moved by Councilor Roberts-Burns that proposed resolution be tabled. Motion to table seconded by Councilor Barham. Motion to table carried by the following vote. Ayes: Mayor Lyne, Councilors Barham, Smith, Roberts-Burns, Hatcher, Ginnings, and Elmore Nays: None City Council recessed at 9:45 a.m. and reconvened at 10:00 a.m. Item 9b RESOLUTION NO. 79-2008 RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS, AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT WITH CORNERSTONE ENGINEERING FOR THE COMPLETION OF RESEARCH AND A SURVEY OF THE CITY'S PROPERTY OWNERSHIP AT LAKE WICHITA; FINDING AND DETERMINING THAT THE MEETING AT WHICH THIS RESOLUTION WAS PASSED WAS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AS REQUIRED BY LAW.

Moved by Councilor Glenn Barham that Resolution No. 86-2008 be passed. Motion seconded by Councilor Rick Hatcher and carried by the following vote. Ayes: Mayor Lyne, Councilors Barham, Smith, Roberts-Burns, Hatcher, Ginnings, and Elmore Nays: None Item 90 City Manager removed this item from the agenda. Item was regarding the adoption of the City's portion of the Nortex Regional Mitigation Action Plan. City Manager informed that FEMA has not approved this yet and it was placed on the agenda in hopes that it would be approved by FEMA. When they do approve it we will bring it back to Council. Item 10a Mr. Davis Powell, City Engineer, informed that the Transfer Station will be closed to the general public Friday June 13 for two weeks to replace the road from the main building to the scales. The Landfill on Wiley Road will be open as an option. The Transfer Station will be reopened June 29. Item 10b Councilor Smith mentioned the news about the change in aircraft at Municipal Airport. and encouraged Mr. John Burrus to keep after them. Councilor Smith said that graffiti is a problem in any urban area and we are seeing an increase in graffiti in Wichita Falls. He asked Staff to respond to Council about a graffiti ordinance providing information as to what we have on the books and what we can do to make sure we are doing something to stop this problem. Graffiti is just as bad as littering. Councilor Smith mentioned the train blockage on 7th Street and the noise of the trains commenting that more people are living downtown and the trains are keeping them awake. It is a problem and maybe there is a way to mitigate that; it is a life quality issue. We do not want to drive people away from downtown. We want to look at those things that keep people from being downtown. Councilor Smith asked that as we purchase equipment and different forms of energy, we keep at the back of our minds what is more economical and what is best for our environment in the production of energy. I do not know if we have coops here or not but asked staff to keep that in the back of our minds to get the best for our City and our citizens and our environment. Councilor Ginnings asked if the City maintains the vegetation on the medians on Southwest Parkway and if we put them in at our expense. Mr. Davis Powell replied in the affirmative. Councilor Ginnings asked if TXDOT would not be interested in any beautification at all. Mr. Powell stated that TXDOT has not been opposed to beautification of medians; their concern is the safety of the traffic. 345 Item 10b continued City Manager informed that TXDOT did contribute to the entry way from the south on US 287 and that was a partnership, however, these were not medians. There have been other partnerships and it does not hurt to ask them, although they may say no because of their funding situation. Councilor Hatcher referred to the $500,000 grant for the Airport and suggested using the money for marketing the Airport to attempt to increase the planes landing here and that would encourage people to come here and possibly give us a second airline and we would not have to pay them to come here. Councilor Hatcher commented that he used to live downtown when he was in college and after six months of living there the train noise became a soothing sound. You get used to it. I do not want to lessen that for those that are having that problem, but he was serious. Councilor Hatcher asked if they were going to have to reverse the truck flow where they are placing the bridge by the Transfer Station. Mr. Powell replied that the flow of traffic will be reversed to enter from the east and exit from the west when the project is completed. Councilor Hatcher commended Mr. Bob Sullivan and his staff for all the great events at MPEC. What financial arrangement do we have with the WFISD on use of the Coliseum, like for graduation commencement exercises?Are we being compensated for air conditioning, electrical, clean up, etc. Mr. Sullivan informed that we do a lease agreement and they pay a rent for the facilities they use and that covers our cost. Councilor Hatcher referred to the water backflow inspections and stated that he did not think the law specifies that we are responsible for inspecting, and he suggested that we pass that on to our water customer in our agreement with them. I think we should explore that. The end user is going to pay something and it might be better if they paid a little less and passed that on. Councilor Barham went out to the landfill and was very impressed with how clean it was on the approach, and once you get to the landfill staff was very helpful throughout the entire process. He complimented Public Works on that facility and for doing a great job out there. Councilor Barham thanked Public Works for promptly taking care of the speed bump at Oak Street and the railroad tracks. Councilor Barham asked if we had received the license plates scanning equipment and if it was in operation? Chief Bachman replied said it had been received but had to go back and forth with the vendor; they have updated the reader since. The equipment has been installed in the vehicles at this point. Councilor Barham mentioned the Riverbend Nature Center and stated that the public funding on that was 17% or 18% for the entire project. The majority of the funding came from private funds and he thinks that is just great that our citizens think enough of that project to provide private funds. Councilor Barham encouraged staff and 4B to remember that when 4B was established in 1997 it called for the establishment of police and fire training facilities. We need to remember that the firing range was probably a part of that. We are ten years from that election and we are only at 30% completion and he encouraged staff and 4B Board to help us with that if they can. Councilor Elmore said he was delighted with the River Bend Center and the work they are doing. Councilor Elmore congratulated City Manager for his son's recognition on his ACT score, but more to the point, his wife because it is the mother who usually pushes the student. Councilor Elmore asked if the bathrooms were not in the original design of the Skate Park Project. City Manager replied that they were not. Councilor Elmore would like to see the $250,000 excess funds from the Southern Hills Gymnasium Project used to invest in park property and development He added that he would like to see the Plum Creek Retention facility developed as a park and would like for the City to acquire inexpensive land on the periphery of the City with the prospect of converting it to parks in the future. 346 Item 10b continued City Manager informed that our original intent was to use that $250,000 in proceeds from Southern Hills to be put back into the Athletic Gymnasium project. We have built one gym but we need to see how much it will cost for the second gym at Jefferson. Even with our projections, we may not need to use the entire $250,000. The $250,000 will go back into General Fund and Council will determine how they will use that money. You may want to wait to see what is being requested in the budget in July before we spend the $250,000. Councilor Elmore commented that we have not bought any park land in the last umpteen years; we have only lost acreage in park land and I want to reverse that. He would like for us to acquire more property for parks. Councilor Elmore mentioned utilization of old tires for use in sidewalks, and other facilities, and asked if we can recycle the shredded rubber. City Manager will have staff look into that and will respond to Council. Councilor Roberts-Burns asked that staff look at a tree that needs treatment in Harold Jones Park. Councilor Roberts-Burns stated that we need to get a handle on the grass clippings in the street, and asked that this be looked into. Councilor Roberts-Burns mentioned the need for more businesses in District 2 and asked for help in that area. Mayor followed up on Councilor Elmore's question from last Council meeting regarding the signage from the Airport to 1-44 and downtown. City Manager and Mr. John Burrus informed that they are working on that. Mayor referred to the question on graffiti and informed that Chief Bachman and his folks are contacting different people and working on several different programs and staying on top of that situation. We were complimented for not ignoring that problem. Chief Bachman said that he would provide some information to Council on what we can do here and what other cities are doing. Councilor Elmore suggested that the judiciary use one of the fines to be to clean up graffiti. Mayor needs to meet with Councilor Elmore, Chief Bachman and John Burrus after the meeting. Mayor wished the City Manager and his wife a safe and good trip to Hawaii. Mayor thanked Mr. Benoit for all the work at the Golf Course, as well as Tommy Isbel. It is the best course we will see in North Texas within a 100 mile radius. We want to get it right. Item 11 City Council adjourned at 11:45 a.m. PASSED AND APPROVED this ` day of 2008.
