Good morning, Wichita Falls.

Residents gathered Monday evening at the Empowerment Center to discuss recurring flooding issues affecting the Eastside.

The conversation will continue at the City Council meeting Tuesday morning at 8:30 a.m. (organizers noted the event allowed residents to share their experiences).

Marilyn Menefee Billouin, the last surviving member of the group that challenged segregation at Midwestern State, died at 92 and left a legacy that opened doors for black students; a celebration of life is planned in July outside (San Antonio).

At 2:30 p.m. Thursday, the Wichita Falls Economic Development Corporation will meet in Room 6 of the Multi-Purpose Events Center to deliberate closed-door property deals and business incentives - the nonexecutive session remains open to the public and the panel will adjourn without taking action on either matter.

Wichita Falls will adjust trash collection for Juneteenth Friday as city offices close, moving Thursday pickups to Wednesday and Friday pickups to Thursday (no curbside organics recycling pickup on Wednesday and the Transfer Station and Landfill will also close on Friday).

Wichita Falls is bolstering its mosquito control by installing a wide-area larvicide sprayer and launching a new online system for complaints and surveillance.

Officials expect the initiative to help lower mosquito populations and improve public health starting today.
