II. Review & Approval of Minutes from February 25, 2020

Chairperson Michele Derr called for review and approval of the February 25, 2020
Landmark Commission meeting minutes. Ms. Janel Ponder-Smith made a motion to
approve amended minutes, Mr. Blake Haney seconded the motion. Minutes were

Ill. Action Item: Design Review - 1509 Tilden (West Floral Heights Historic District)
Ms. Karen Gagne presented the case and stated staff received an application from Mr. &
Mrs. Rojo for a request to replace their rear fence. The subject property was constructed
in 1925 and is in the West Floral Heights historic district. The subject property is a
contributing structure in this city designated district. The Rojo's are requesting to replace
the existing 4 foot chain link fence with 6 foot wooden panels with metal post and hardware
that will face inside towards the property. Ms. Gagne advised in 2018 the Rojo's where
Page 1 of 7
Agenda Item No. 4.a
Landmark Commission 2 June 23, 2020
approved by this commission for some additional improvements such as decorative iron
fencing, a switchback handicap ramp and additional concrete.
Ms. Gagne stated the fencing to be removed and replaced was about 50 feet that goes
from the north end of the property along to alley to the rear garage. There is already similar
fencing in place in the 1500 block of Tilden that Mr. & Mrs. Rojo's requesting.
Ms. Gagne advised the commission this triggers a design review because it is and exterior
remodel and change addressing fencing. Typically fencing is not allowed in the front yard
on historic properties and in 2010/2011 the West Floral Heights group requested the design
guidelines address not having fences in the front yards in the West Floral Heights historic
district.
Ms. Gagne stated Mrs. Rojo was present if the commission had any questions she would
be able to answer.
Chairperson Derr asked if the commission had any questions or discussions. Vice-Chair
Christy Graham made a motion to approve the case. Ms. Marcela Trice seconded, the
motion passed unanimously.
IV. Action Item: Design Review -1309 Grant (West Floral Heights Historic District)
Ms. Karen Gagne stated the subject property was built in 1925 and was a contributing
structure in the West Floral Heights Historic District. The property has a detached garage
that is very typical for the area, and is the subject of Ms. Maestaz, the applicants' request.
Inventory photos displayed from 2013 showed deterioration on garage doors and photos
from 2019 show continued further deterioration. The seals do not touch the framing and the
wooden frame and doors are rotted away. The applicant is requesting to repair/replace
garage doors as well as repair brick around doors. The current garage doors are an odd
size, 8 x 7 feet, the homeowner is having the up and over door system custom made to
maintain the same look. Existing metal hardware will be reused however rotted wood is not
able to be reused. The variety of garage doors in the West Floral Heights is vast, however,
staff follows the Secretary of the Interior Standards of repair, rehab and replace.
Ms. Gagne stated the applicant was present and wished to speak. Ms. Debbie Maestaz
stated the garage has had no maintenance in many years resulting in extreme deterioration.
Ms. Maestaz stated the left side garage is completely inoperable and the right side frame
work as fallen apart. Ms. Maestaz advised she would build however the committee
recommended, she just needs operable garage doors when she moves into the home.
Ms. Derr asked if the committee had any questions for the home owner. Ms. Janel Ponder
Smith if the pedestrian door was new. Ms. Maestaz advised the door was within the fence
and not visible. Ms. Ponder-Smith asked if the contractor would be using salvageable parts.
Ms. Maestaz stated yes, whatever the contractor could salvage they would repair and
rehab. Ms. Ponder-Smith asked if those were the original wooden doors to which Ms.
Maestaz stated she did not know. Chairperson Derr asked if there were any other questions
or discussion. Ms. Ponder-Smith made a motion to approve request. Mr. Blake Haney
seconded. Motion passed unanimously.

Agenda Item No. 4.a
V. Action Item: Design Review - 620 Ohio Street (Depot Square Historic District)
*This property is owned by Landmark Commission member, John Dickinson, whom had recused
himself. All required paperwork was completed and can be found on file with the City Clerk's office.
Ms. Gagne stated staff was happy to see this application come into the office to restore this
significant structure back to its original state, built circa 1913. The subject property is a
contributing structure located in the central part of downtown in the Depot Square Historic
District and is unique in that it is an "L" shaped property. Inventory photos from 1995 to
current day show very little has changed. There have been substantial changes to the rear
alley which did not go through the design review process for approval from the Landmark
Commission since 1999 for replacement transom windows, the window and former garage
door. The previous owner participated in the tree planting program downtown between
1995 and 1999 adding trees to the property as well as an awning at some point.
The current owners are not planning any changes to the Ohio Street fa9ade, only trimming
of the trees and rehab existing doors. This request is mainly focused on the rear of the
structure to bring it back to more of its original state. Ms. Gagne advised the commission
there had been several changes to the rear of the property that included a very large
overhead garage door being installed at some point without Landmark approval. The
addition of this door was not adequately installed. In photos the faulting and lack of support
is clearly visible. The owners have engaged a Historic Preservation Consultant because
they are also working with Texas Historical Commission (THC) to apply for state historic
tax credits. That process with run concurrently with this design review.
Ms. Gagne stated part of this proposal was to have the large rear garage door removed
and then add a new lintel that will be properly installed to provide support the wall and also
fill in with salvaged brick. The existing roll top door which is non-functional at this time is
proposed to be bricked in and then the large door that was added are to be replaced with
two pedestrian doors, one a double door and one a single door.
Ms. Gagne stated in photos you could see how the overlap of the property lines effect
redevelopment of this property. It's almost an overlap at the rear of 620 and 612 7th Street
and the land that 612 7 th Street actually extends about 10 feet out, leaving only 2-3 feet
access gap for 620 Ohio to get to that roll top door. There are also 2 windows on the other
side of that being blocked by 612 7th Street. The owners are proposing to install a firewall
inside the building and will function as two separate unit spaces.
A note provided by the Historic Preservation Consultants and their detailed assessment of
the building addressed the fact that those two doors on the McIntosh Building are not
original and are being proposed for replacement. Due to the access issue with the 7th Street
property they are looking at creating an internal access point for the 2 n d unit, essentially the
double pedestrian door being put in where the white overhead door will be removed will be
a point of access for both units. There are other impacts for whomever rents the second
unit due to it having less than 3 feet access is difficult in having full use of that building as
well as impacts on the International Building Code, fire access and fire ratings.
Ms. Gagne referred to the design guidelines in addressing the changes to the fa9ade, which
is visible from public right-of-way, even though it is in the alley, and the removal and
replacement of doors. The guidelines state there are to be no added architectural features,
Page 3 of 7
Agenda Item No. 4.a
which, in this case the owners are trying to restore the structure to the original time period.
The walls are to be replaced with in-kind materials and the original door openings are not
to be enlarged or closed in. Also it states to try and retain original doors which they are
rehabbing back to a style more time-period appropriate.
Ms. Gagne turned the discussion over to the owners/applicants along with their architect
and legal consultant. Mr. John Dickinson, owner, stated his architect, Mr. Syd Littikin,
wished to address the commission. Mr. Littikin stated in the rear of the building on 7th Street
had an added addition in stucco that was not approved by Landmark Commission that
extends out approximately 17 feet behind the subject property has multiple cracks in the
walls. Mr. Littikin also advised the commission the old over-head door was completely
rotted and not salvageable. As there is less than 3 foot of access in the rear a door would
not comply with the required 5 foot of space by the International Building Code, therefore,
they are requesting to block that off for security purposes. The large overhead door does
not meet code requirements and is not structurally safe. Mr. Littikin went into detail on
proposed design plans and existing damage to structure.
Ms. Marcela Trice stated she had some questions regarding the in-fill of brick asking if the
replacement brick would be the removed bricks off the structure in other areas for repair.
Also she stated the other windows on buildings in the area have arched openings at the
top and questioned why they didn't stay with that design. Mr. Dickinson stated they cannot
be sure if the arch-head openings are original but that if it is something the Commission
requires they will comply. He also stated the brick would be the same brick salvaged from
the structure. Mr. Andy Lee stated the owners and Mr. Littikin have taken the correct steps
with Texas Historical Commission (THC) and there is a recommendation letter to enclose
the back door due to the limited access area. There is still part B of the process to go
through with THC before a final recommendation would be given. Mr. Lee stated he thinks
this is a good proposal. Ms. Janel Ponder-Smith asked if only the back doors where being
proposed. Ms. Christy Graham advised that was correct. Ms. Gagne stated the front doors
most likely would not come to the commission for review as that was considered routine
maintenance.
Ms. Graham made a motion to approve the design review as presented. Mr. Lee seconded
the motion. The motion passed unanimously.
VI. Action Item: Design Review- 900 8 th Street (Hamilton Building, WF Landmark #21)

VIII. Action Item: Design Review - 900 8th Street (Hamilton Building, WF Landmark #21)
*This item was moved to provide time for all parties to attend presentation.
Mr. Gagne stated this was a key downtown building on a critical corner of 8th and Lamar.
This is a corner unit of the historical Hamilton Building that is well recognized in the
architectural field due to prominent Texas architects, Voelcker & Dixon, where involved with
the building design. The building is Beaux Arts & Art Deco style and has remained virtually
unchanged since its construction circa 1927. A parking garage was added in the back in
the mid 1950's and was designated a Wichita Falls Historic Landmark in September 1999.
The requested proposal is to remove the current Benchmark sign removed, adding a new
Chamber of Commerce Sign on the corner of the building, an awning added and the
addition of some new outdoor carpet at the step entry way.
Ms. Gagne stated the sign being placed on the southeast corner of 8th and Lamar would
give needed visibility to the Chamber of Commerce for citizens and new visitors to Wichita
Falls. The proposed sign does comply with the sign ordinance, however, a sign permit will
be required along with an encroachment agreement with property management if the
proposal is approved. Also in the requested proposal is the addition of two new awnings,
one on Lamar and one on 8th Street at the entry point. Inventory photos from the 1950's
show canopy awnings on the building.
Ms. Gagne introduced Mr. Cody Magana, White Realty for any questions the committee.
Mr. Magana stated the new signage would help new visitors in town locate the chamber.
The requested awnings to be installed are for an additional safety measure from the rain at
the point of entry. Mr. Henry Florsheim, President and CEO of the Wichita Falls Chamber
of Commerce stated the sign was designed to match the historic feel and character of the
Hamilton Building.
Ms. Derr asked if the Commission had any questions. Ms. Ponder-Smith asked for
clarification on "new entry way" asking if it was new or they had pla.ns to change it. Mr.
Magana stated it had been restored back to the original entry. At some point over the years
it had been changed. Ms. Ponder-Smith asked what the purpose was for the outdoor carpet
and what it was going to look like. Mr. Magana stated the stone slabs to the entry are
original and are worn and beat up. The issue with removing and replacing them is that they
are the ceiling to the basement below. Rather than grinding down and creating a slippery
area or trying to put down tiles it was suggested they install outdoor carpet that will look like
stone. Ms. Derr asked if the original Chamber signs would be staying. Mr. Magana stated
yes they would be staying but removing the Benchmark signs. Ms. Trice asked about the
awnings why they wouldn't have them on all windows. Mr. Magana stated the trees provide
shade to most all windows except that corner where there are no trees. Ms. Trice stated
there was no precedence for this type of sign, she feels the style is off and questioned how
it was decided upon. Mr. Magana stated directly across the street on the corner there is a
Page 6 of 7
Agenda Item No. 4.a
similar sign for the Oil & Gas Building as well as another sign a block away on the City
National Building and another found on the old masket building. Mr. Magana does not
believe it would stand out regarding the style. Ms. Graham stated La Salle Crossing on 7th
and Ohio that is now apartments used to be the Studio Hotel and had a sign located on the
corner similar to the proposed sign and believes the style is appropriate.
Mr. Lee made a motion to approve the design review application as presented. Mr. Haney
seconded the motion. Motion was unanimously approved.

Summary
This item is to seek public comment on the FY 2020-21 Proposed Operating Budget,
which covers the fiscal period beginning October 1, 2020 and ending September 30,
2021. In general, the City Manager proposes a balanced budget for FY 2020-21 totaling
approximately $184.4M, which represents a reduction of approximately $9.6M from the
PAGE 1 OF 2 PAGE
AGENDA ITEM NO. 6
FY 2019-20 (current year) adopted budget. This is a decrease of 4.97%. The City’s
General Fund, representing approximately 44% of the total budget, has proposed
expenditures in FY 2020-21 of approximately $81.7M or a reduction of approximately
$1.3M from the current year. The proposed budget assumes no increase in the current
City of Wichita Falls property tax rate of $0.763323 per $100 of assessed value.
As discussed during the July 21, 2020 presentation of the Proposed Budget, the Certified
Property Tax Roll (received after completion of the proposed budget) did increase total
property tax collections by $68,619. This amount will be recorded and deposited into fund
balance at year-end.
The proposed operating budget can be viewed in its entirety on the City’s website at:
http://www.wichitafallstx.gov/DocumentCenter/View/34149/Proposed-Operating-
Budget-FY-20-21
Staff recommends the City Council open the public hearing to receive comments. The
City Council is scheduled to consider adoption of the FY 2020-21 budget on September

______________________________________________________________________
ITEM/SUBJECT: Resolution expressing the City Council’s intent to place a proposal
on a future Council agenda approving a property tax rate that
exceeds the no new tax rate, but does not exceed the voter-approval
tax rate; scheduling one public tax rate hearing, and establishing the
date to vote on same.
INITIATING DEPT: Finance/CFO

______________________________________________________________________

______________________________________________________________________
COMMENTARY: State law provides the guidelines that local governments must follow
when setting property tax rates for the ensuing tax year. Specifically, when a city
considers adopting a tax rate that city must hold one public hearing and, post notice of
the hearing for seven (7) consecutive days prior to the hearing on the City’s website and
on free access TV. Public Hearing notice must also be published in the newspaper
indicating the date, time, and place of the public hearing at least five (5) days prior to the
date the hearing is held. The city must then officially adopt the budget and tax rate prior
to September 30, 2020.
The current property tax rate for the City of Wichita Falls is $0.763323 per $100 of
assessed value, and the no-new-revenue tax rate is $0.744422. The no-new-revenue tax
rate is essentially the rate that generates the same tax revenue as the prior year from
properties that were on the tax roll in both tax years. The voter-approval rate is $0.776452.
The Proposed Tax Rate is the same as the prior year. The maintenance and operations
portion of this tax rate will raise $0.018901 per $100 of assessed value over the no-new-
revenue-tax rate, and $0.013129 per $100 of assessed value less than the voter-
approval-tax rate. This tax rate is 2.69% higher than the no-new-revenue tax rate.
The proposed FY 2020-21 budget recommends a tax rate of $0.763323, which is the
same tax rate as FY 2020 (current year). This tax rate does not exceed the voter-approval
tax rate.
The tax rates considered in this resolution have been calculated and certified by the
Wichita County Tax Assessor-Collector, Tommy Smyth, on August 7, 2020.
This resolution has been prepared with a blank for the proposed tax rate in order to allow
the City Council to conduct the budget hearing prior to deciding on a proposed tax rate.
After completing the budget hearing, the City Council must take a record vote expressing
its intent to adopt a tax rate that equals the tax rate in the Proposed Budget or expresses
its intent to adopt a tax rate other than the rate in the Proposed Budget. Council may vote
PAGE 1 OF 3 PAGES
AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.A
to adopt a tax rate between the no-new-revenue tax rate of $0.744422 and the voter-
approval tax rate of $0.776452.
Because the Proposed Tax Rate exceeds the no-new-revenue tax rate, but is below the
voter-approval tax rate, a record vote of this Council is required. It should be noted, that
the resolution must include a proposed tax rate.
Approval of this agenda item expresses the governing body’s intent to hold a public
hearing on the proposed tax rate on September 1, 2020, and its intent to vote to adopt a
tax rate on September 1, 2020, at its regularly planned Council meeting.
Staff recommends the City Council, by record vote, approve the resolution proposing a
property tax rate for FY 2020-21 to be considered at a public hearing on September 1,
2020.

INITIATING DEPT: Public Works / Engineering

STRATEGIC GOAL: Provide Adequate Infrastructure
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE: N/A

______________________________________________________________________
COMMENTARY: On August 6, 2020 a proposal was received for the 2020 Sewer Budget
Utility Improvements Project Phase I. This project will rehabilitate existing sanitary sewer
line segments near Beverly Drive, Faith Rd, Kentucky St, Ave Q, Seymour Hwy,
Southwest Pkwy, Hamilton Blvd, and Brook Ave. The collection system in these areas is
old vitrified clay tile pipe and have become a continuous maintenance problem. The
collection system in these areas is also very inaccessible and does not lend itself toward
conventional dig and replace rehab processes. Therefore, the rehabilitation work will
employ the trenchless technology of cured in place piping (CIPP) and pipe bursting
methods.
The proposal for the project was prepared by Insituform Technologies, Inc. which is a
sewer rehabilitation company who has been selected through a competitive bidding
process by the outside agency, Buy Board.
The proposal received for this project is as follows:
Company Amount
Insituform Technologies, LLC – Corinth, TX $ 493,899.75
Construction of the project should require approximately one hundred eighty (180)
consecutive days to complete.
Insituform Technologies, Inc. has completed similar projects for the City, staff
recommends award of the contract to Insituform Technologies, Inc. in the amount of
$493,899.75, based on unit price quantities.

______________________________________________________________________
COMMENTARY: The Texas Department of Transportation has opened the application
period for the Comprehensive STEP grant for fiscal year 2021. The Wichita Falls Police
Department wishes to apply for a grant totaling $72,602.00 with the state amount totaling
$57,950.78 and the City providing a 20.18% match of $14,651.22. The match will be
comprised of in-kind contributions (salary related to grant administration and maintenance
costs from vehicles used during STEP enforcement). The purpose of the Comprehensive
STEP grant is to focus on Traffic Safety STEP elements including DWI Enforcement,
Occupant Protection, Speed, and Intersection Traffic Enforcement. This will be the eighth
year that the Wichita Falls Police Department has participated in this yearlong traffic
enforcement campaign. Officers of the department are paid an overtime rate reimbursed
by TxDOT for their enforcement efforts. In the previous years of this STEP grant, we
have shown to have had a positive effect on the areas involving Occupant Protection,
Speed Limit, and Intersection Traffic Control Compliance. TxDOT will have media events
to inform the citizens of our increased traffic enforcement efforts. Our participation in the
STEP grant no doubt makes the roadways safer for our motoring public.
Staff recommends the City Council approve the resolution.
