Motion seconded by Councilor Gonzalez. Mr. Jim Dockery provided information regarding this lease and the recommendation to terminate. He noted that the City owns the improvements and the County owns the property. The City was approached by Work Services Corporation to purchase the facility currently being leased to the Southside Neighborhood Group. Work Services Corporation operates facilities immediately adjacent to the Southside Community Center and they have entered into a contract with the State Hospital to perform the hospital's linen folding services. The County does not see a problem with this should the City decide to sell to Work Services Corporation. Work Services Corporation has indicted they would allow the neighborhood groups to use the facility occasionally for neighborhood group activity meetings but not social functions, however the Southside Neighborhood Group could use one of the other two community centers for those functions. Mr. James Esther, East Lynwood Neighborhood Center, Mr. Arnold Goodner, Vice President of the Sunnyside Neighborhood Center, Mr. Tim Dutton, President Sunnyside Neighborhood Center, spoke against terminating this lease and gave reasons for their concerns. Mr. Jerry Bettenhausen, Executive Director of Work Services Corporation, stated that they are a member of the Southside Neighborhood Group and they can use the facility with the restriction that they not have meals or beverages. We will pay for the electricity. Lindsey Walker, 1411 Trout, works with the Kemp Addition Neighborhood Watch Group, proposed that the three centers be unified and communicate with each other and be more inclusive. Members of all three centers need to get together and decide how they can work together to increase participation and productivity and be more beneficial to the community. Following a lengthy discussion regarding termination of this lease, Councilor Ginnings stated that he supported this transaction with the understanding that Mr. Bettenhausen will work with the Southside Neighborhood Group to provide a meeting space for the two member meetings. He suggested that the Southside group come back to the Council in the event they cannot live with the Work Services Corporation's restrictions and we will help you to find another place where you can continue like you are now.

Item 11 b Councilor Roberts-Burns thanked those who prepared the retirement banquet. It was a wonderful event. Councilor Elmore asked staff to check on a stop work order at the house located at the corner of Crescent Lane and City View Lane. It had something to do with the purchase of illegal materials. Councilor Elmore mentioned continuing burglaries at gun shops in our City, and asked if there was an ordinance requiring burglar alarm of businesses that sell weapons, if not there should be. 48 Item 11 b continued Councilor Elmore noted that Arthur Bea Williams had been introduced at a meeting earlier this year as Ex-Mayor Pro Tem, and he wanted everyone to know she was the Mayor. Councilor Elmore mentioned the lack of care of veterans and asked that everyone contact their federal representatives and let them know that these situations are intolerable. Our soldiers are not receiving proper equipment in the war and they are not being taken care of when they come home. Councilor Ginnings stated that the folks from the Kemp Center for the Arts want to encourage more participation in their events, especially from the Council. The Kemp Center for the Arts gave memberships to the City Council. It is a worthy effort and a great cultural thing for Wichita Falls. Councilor Ginnings mentioned Mr. Cleaver, a citizen who addressed the Council several meetings ago. He dressed nicely to come speak to us, but what caught my attention was that he asked the Council what he should do about a hazardous structure that he owned. He trusted government enough to ask and that is something you cannot buy, you earn it. I thought it meant a lot and it reflects favorably on the staff and possibly the Council. Councilor Hatcher encouraged everyone to go to the Taste of the Town tonight. Councilor Gonzalez wished his wife a Happy 40th Anniversary.

Mr. Taylor informed that we were not; we are using raw water and reused water at the golf course. Mrs. Tawana Thomas informed that there would be a St. Patrick's Day event downtown but the information was submitted too late to be included in the CVB bulletin. Councilor Ammons suggested that everybody get their plans together early and send them to CVB so it can be put in their bulletin. Councilor Ammons would like to have a marquee at the MPEC, the corner of Burnett and Fifth Street announcing Ray Clymer Agriculture events and Kay Yeager Coliseum events. Mr. Bob Sullivan stated that they would like some sort of signage in all of our MPEC facilities, and that will be included in our budget for FY 2008. Councilor Ammons expressed appreciation for the ad in the newspaper about MPEC. Councilor Elmore informed that the St. Patrick's Day event will be March 17 beginning at 4 p.m. downtown. Mayor Lyne stated that the big problem was coordinating the information to CVB so it can be done. City Council adjourned at 1:25 p.m. PASSED AND APPROVED thisaO day of , 2007.
