Brice Perry, Assistant District Attorney, also did a great job. He thanked the Police Chief and his Officers for all their help as well. Mrs. Lydia Ozuna, City Clerk, provided Early Voting and Election Day information. Item 13b Councilor Ammons asked when the last day to register to vote would be. City Clerk informed that it was April 12. Councilor Ammons said she was happy about the new phone system. Councilor Ammons hopes that everyone comes to the Wichita Paws Parade April 21 at Lucy Park. Councilor Gonzalez asked if the City has a wood mulcher. Mr. Jack Murphy replied that we did not; we coordinate with Public Works and they bring it into Wichita Falls and use it to mulch around the trees. Councilor Gonzalez asked if we rent the mulcher. Mr. Scott Taylor said that we do not. Councilor Gonzalez said that he had the opportunity to see a retention pond working and he knows what Scott is talking about. Councilor Gonzalez would like to have the funeral escorts on the agenda for more information. City Manager stated that Legal would research that and see how other cities are able to provide escort funeral service. Mayor directed that this be placed on the next Council agenda under"Staff Discussions" and that this be coordinated with the Police Chief to obtain any additional information that may have changed. City Manager informed that staff had conducted a survey and that will be put in writing in this report. Councilor Hatcher agreed that this be looked into again. He commented that our off duty officers could make extra money doing this. He agreed with Councilor Gonzalez. Councilor Hatcher requested that that the Vehicle for Hire Ordinance be reviewed by staff. Councilor Hatched stated that he had been at Riverbend Nature Works last Tuesday and saw the Butterfly Conservatory. He recommended that those who have not gone there to take the opportunity to see the tremendous facility and the biggest one in the United States. He hopes everyone goes and checks it out. 74 Item 13b continued Councilor Ginnings asked if he was correct in stating that there were no change orders at the Headquarters Road Pump Station. Mr. Scott Taylor replied that there was a $3800 change order for a gate for the TXU's transformer and meter, which was not our fault; and we added a UPS after we had some power issues out there to back up our control system out there. Councilor Ginnings referred to that pump station and stated that we had some corrosion issues at Cypress Treatment Plant in the stainless steel filter system and I am sure we have a lot of stainless steel in our pumps out there and I would like to know that we have taken that Cypress Plant experience and assessed whether we have any exposure at the Headquarters Plan with regard to corrosion because that is the same water. Mr. Taylor stated that this is a different application of the water; it is moving through those pumps on a routine bases. Part of the issue at Cypress was that water was sitting in those basins and not being moved. We also have addressed the issue with the microbes by putting a chlorine dioxide, disinfectant, in the pipes as it is leaving the pump station. We are removing that organism if it is there with the chlorine dioxide. Normally in our pumping environments and our two lakes our stainless steel seems to last a while because it is a moving environment and we have not seen rust in other areas with similar water. Councilor Ginnings asked if the permethrin mosquito spray is considered state of the art environmentally friendly spray. Mrs. Lou Franklin replied that there are several that are environmentally friendly which has the one that we did the permethrin based because it is a water based product because it does not require that someone with a pesticide license to mix that. We do have two employees that are licensed. We hire temporary employees who go out and do the spraying. It is environmentally friendly. Councilor Ginnings mentioned the larvacide biscuits and asked if there is a conscious and direct program to move toward the larvacide approach with the biscuits to diminish the spray. Mrs. Franklin informed that they do both. We have temporary workers that go out and walk the public ditches and check for standing water and put the larvacide briquettes out. We do have those available for the public who have water fountains and they are environmentally friendly. They won't hurt the animals that drink from those fountains. We ask that if people are out walking and see those briquettes and they do not know what they are to call the Health Department. The most important thing they can do is to make sure they do not have any standing water because most mosquitoes breed in water. We do have the briquettes at the Health Department for the citizens. The larvacide is more effective. Councilor Ginnings asked if standing water is in the sunlight all day long it is considered safe and you don't have to put a larvacide in that. Mrs. Franklin replied that that was not true. Councilor Ginnings asked what the procedure was for getting the spray truck to go around a large tract. Mrs. Franklin replied that they need to have permission from the owner; they can call Susan Morris at the Health Department. We have a spray list and they have to call each time they want us to go out and spray. Councilor Ginnings would like for Code Enforcement to clean up MLK Boulevard from end to end with regard to derelict cars parked in the yards and any other violations they see. Councilor Ginnings stated that we use a lot of evergreens in our medians and he would like to know that our maintenance program includes trimming from the ground up on these evergreens in the medians. There are some places on Missile Road, as well as other areas, that are a concern. In general, he would like our maintenance people to look at our medians and trim the trees from the ground up. Councilor Elmore agreed with discussing the funeral escort issue. Councilor Elmore sated that the impression he received from the proceeds from the sales of the parks to the WFISD was that the proceeds would be used in the gymnasium program. I would like to see that put into a Park Fund and Open Spaces. I want to see more park and open spaces provided in the community. I would like to see the funds we acquire from the sale of parks be put back into more space for parks. City Manager stated that staff would issue a recommendation on that request. He reminded that aside from where the building will be sitting all the playground area will still remain open space and available to the public. Councilor Elmore said that he wants to see more acreage in parks and open spaces than we have rather than less. Councilor Elmore congratulated the City of Electra on their water ceremony. They praised the folks who were involved from Wichita Falls and other areas. It was a good ceremony. Councilor Elmore commented that we have not had an opportunity to look at the sidewalks in Expressway Village; he will get with Scott Taylor to set a date. 75 Item 13b continued Councilor Elmore said that The Falls is difficult to find; you can see it from the expressway but cannot find it. I think we need additional signage directing people to The Falls. Councilor Elmore stated that the evergreens on Missile Road are a concern. Councilor Elmore mentioned that the Civil Air Patrol is paying $121 for hangar rent and asked if that was average. Mr. John Burrus replied that we are updating the information on what other cities are doing for their Civil Air Patrol and will have that information to Council by tomorrow. City Manager commented that we are giving a pretty good discount on fuel sales and the hangar. Councilor Roberts-Burns asked that Code Enforcement look into the trash situation at the1400 block of 8th Street. Councilor Roberts-Burns thanked Mr. Jack Murphy and Parks staff for the work they have done on the medians on MLK Blvd. It needs more work but it is a start. Councilor Roberts-Burns invited everyone to attend the Mayor's town hall meeting which will be held in District 2, Thursday at MLK Center at 7 p.m. Mayor commented that last Saturday was a busy day. We had the duck race for Children's Miracle Network. Visiting with some of the folks who were in charge of that, Friday they had built an alternative ramp to dump the ducks in because there was not any water flowing in the river. They were afraid it might take a day or two to get from one bridge to the next, but Friday night's rain took care of that. The river was up and running. He thanked Mr. Taylor and his folks for helping with that. Another problem was that the river was up and they couldn't stop the ducks as they had these booms to travel into it. We may be getting a call from Texoma asking us if we lost some ducks; it was quite interesting and a lot of fun. Mayor also acknowledged those folks who put on the Keystone Classic basketball tournament for the Boys and Girls Club. They did a great job and it is great for our City and North Texas areas. The folks at Midwestern and Hirschi High School made that happen. Mayor Lyne thanked the City Attorney and his staff and Chief Bachman for their work on the gang injunction. The gist of some letters he has received and some letters to the editor is that we do not have a gang problem. We don't have Los Angeles gang issues but we do have gang issues, and it is up to us as citizens to make that a success and getting rid of them. They are a very strong and powerful group of people and our citizens and officers are in danger when they are out there. He thanked Chief Bachman and his officers for all the work they do and the legal system; it is a concerted effort. I am glad that this Council is a major part of making that happen. That is one we got and in the future we will add a few more. Mayor Lyne congratulated the Rider Boys' Soccer Team for their State Championship. Championships are hard to come by and it takes the team, parent support and the coaches. They did an outstanding job. We will be honoring them at the May 1 Council meeting. Councilor Elmore stated that the Math Science Department from City View went to UIL and came home with honors. He congratulated everybody with City View High School and City View Jr. High School. They did a super job. City Council adjourned at 11:11a.m. PASSED AND APPROVED this_Y_day of , 2007.
