Mayor Pro Tem Gonzalez presided over the rest of the meeting. Item 11a (1) Mr. Scott Taylor presented a detailed report on the Street Rehabilitation Project. He provided information on the condition of the streets and how they are assessed, as well as the various streets in need of serious repairs. City Engineer Davis Powell provided information on reconstruction of brick streets, and asked for Council direction on which brick streets to reconstruct, Historical District, downtown, intersections only, etc. and the type of brick to use. 65 Item 11a(1) continued Council members preferred the use of the faux brick in the historical districts, as well as the intersections, and downtown. Council will submit written feed back to the City Manager. Two citizens from the Floral Heights Historical District informed about the interest and pride they all take with their properties. They conduct several different fund raisers to preserve the outside areas in their neighborhood. There is so much history there. They suggested that the buses be kept off Hayes Street to help reserve that brick street. They requested that their neighborhood streets be preserved with the faux brick; and asked that something be done on 10tn Street now. Item 11 a (2) Mr. Scott Taylor informed that the Transfer Station/Landfill will be open until 5 p.m. on Saturdays. They will evaluate the use and the impact this will have on the budget. Item 11 a (3) Mr. Scott Taylor announced that there will be compost give-away April 7. You must bring proof of residency inside Wichita Falls. He reminded that covering/tarping the loads is required. He asked citizens to be patient because they may encounter long waiting lines. Item 11 b Councilor Roberts-Burns thanked Mr. Scott Taylor for talking to citizens on the Normandy & Bristol project. It has now come to pass. Councilor Roberts-Burns was glad to see the media talking about the fact that it was illegal to blow the grass clippings onto the streets. Councilor Elmore informed that Saturday April 14 there would be a YMCA Healthy Kids Day at Kiwanis Park from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Councilor Elmore mentioned the Harley Davidson entrance on City View and that he called Public Works to ask why they are not lining up with what we did at the Fire Station. There has been talk that the infrastructure has to be paid by the developer. I do not understand why they did not put that street in compliance with the plan for City View at that particular location, and put in the curb and gutter to comply with the area that the City put in for the Fire Station. Mr. Taylor replied that their boundary was very limited and it is a driveway. Basically, there was a loophole that if the width of your driveway was the width of your frontage on a city street you did not have to pave because we deleted driveways off that. The Fire Station was on a corner and had two sides; they did not have to put in curb and gutter in front but they did. It depends on how the property is arranged. Councilor Elmore stated that it looks like ultimately City View is going to be expanded to meet where the Fire Station curb and gutter is. We did not require the people to come in and at least line up with what was already there. Mr. Taylor said that his understanding was that they were going to line it up and he will have to check to see why that was not done. Councilor Ginnings mentioned that Assistant City Manager Matt Benoit had a guest, Nathan Roach, who was here on a Boy Scout requirement. Councilor Ginnings mentioned the ongoing Bill of Rights Defense Committee efforts and concerns about the Patriots Act. He stated that Council swore an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States and laws of this state and this City. In his opinion he did not think that they have violated this oath to this point. Recently the Director of the FBI has been called into tow because of violations of citizens rights regarding applications of the Patriot Act which suggests to me that our system of laws is working. It may or may not be as fast as some want to see, but I think those are things that should be comforting to the people that are very concerned about the application of the Patriot Act. This isn't offered to diminish their coming before this Council but I just wanted to make a response to their continued efforts. Councilor Hatcher said that he loves this City and we have such great people and I am thankful to those people who work for the City. They do a great job in every department. 66 Item 11 b continued ' Councilor Hatcher informed that Nathan Roach is in Troop 15 and working on his Citizenship and Community Merit Badge. Councilor Hatcher thanked the League of Women Voters for the recycling brochure, and would like to see it spread throughout the City. Councilor Hatcher agreed with Councilor Ammons that if there is a historical designation you want to preserve that and he agrees that those streets should be preserved with faux brick. He suggested that the streets that have a high Pavement Condition Index that those neighbors can begin to work on a historical designation. Councilor Hatcher agreed to the Harrison — Speedway intersection being done with faux brick, as well as all the downtown intersections. Councilor Ammons agreed with Councilor Hatcher's comments regarding the streets. Councilor Ammons invited everyone with dogs to the Dog Parade April 21 at Lucy Park. She commented that Councilor Ginnings could bring his dog but on a leash. It is a dress alike, owner and pet, parade. Mayor Pro Tern Gonzalez also agreed with Councilor Hatcher's statements about the streets. He agreed to have the historical areas done as well. Mayor Pro Tern Gonzalez asked who maintains the sidewalks downtown. Mr. Taylor will investigate to determine that. Item 12 Moved by Councilor Roberts-Burns to reappoint Mr. Michael Norrie to the Wichita- Wilbarger 9-1-1 District in Place 1, with term to expire May 15, 2009. Motion seconded by Councilor Ammons and carried by the following vote.
