It is expressly understood and agreed that for the purpose of this agreement, water and minerals in water shall never be construed as minerals. The City as owner of said "water rights", its successors and assigns, shall pay $3•00 per acre per year for all ground surface occupied by housing facilities, fenced enclosures and roads constructed and used by the City, and said City, its successors and assigns, shall pay for damages to any surface property proximately caused by any operations or activities on said lands by the City, its agents and employees, for which no payment is otherwise provided herein, and shall, within a reasonable time after conducting any operations on said lands, remove therefrom any trash, debris, or other material or objects which clutter up or detract from the usefullness of said lands to the owner of the surface thereof.

APPRENTICE YSTERMAN 440 DEFINITI ON This is semi -skilled and progressively skilled work on the apprentice level, and involv- ing the testing, calibration, and maintenance of consumers' meters, power plant and distribu- tion electrical instruments, and the construction and maintenance of instrument metering installations. Employees of this class perform a variety of functions in the meter shop ranging from cleaning and disassembling used meters and installations, to tasks requiring the skills and abilities of a journeyman meterman. Employees are considered to be undergoing training in the acquisition of journeyman skills. Work is performed mainly in the meter shop, and as the skill and ability of the employee increases, he is given more responsible tasks and his apprenticeship rating is increased accordingly. Employees work under the immediate supervision of the meterman. Work is subject to close inspection during progress and upon completion by inspection of test records, etc. Employees are carefully instructed re- garding new assignments, and in the observance of adequate safety precautions against occupational hazards. EXAMPLES OF WORK PERFORMED: (Any one position may not include all of the duties listed, nor do the listed examples include all tasks which may be found in positions of this class.) Duties during the first year of service correspond generally to that of beginning level apprentice; cleans glassware, etc. on used meters; unpacks, stores, and numbers new meters; transfers information from test reports and receiving records to card files. Assists meterman in testing and repairing meters. During second year of apprenticeship, performs some tests on meters using test board; repairs work or damaged parts in meters; assists in installations and construction of instrument meter devices; repairs damaged photo -electric switches; makes periodic checks on certain key meter installations on the power distribution system.

During fourth year of apprenticeship, performs all work that journeyman meterman performs, but under supervision of journeyman meterman; assists in repairing and calibration of relays for power plant and distribution substations and switchboards; compiles stock records on equipment used in meter shop. Duties outlined for each year of service necessarily overlaps to some extent those specificed for previous years. Each successive year has less supervision from meterman, and more exercise of own judgment and skill by employee. Porgress is based on ability to understand problems of metering, skill in testing and calibrating meters, skill in repair- ing meters and other equipment, ability to assemble accurate and complete records on meters and all transactions of meter department, and ability to make recommendations on proper meter applications.

Raymond Burford, Burt Pinson, George P. Kuykendall, Mrs. C. H. Green, and Mrs. W. A. Marquis appeared before the City Commission and gave the following report: Lubbock, Texas April 21, 1954 Honorable .City and County Commissions Lubbock, Texas Gentlemen: As a result of the Salvation Army's request to be relieved from the administration of the City -County Welfare Fund as of May 31 and to comply with requests made by the City and County Commissions for recommendations, ' the Policy Committee for the Welfare Fund has reviewed the financial and administrative problems incident to a change of administration and the operations of the Fund under the existing policies. Inadequate funds and public administration of the Fund have been recognized as problems to be solved for some time but a report has been postponed awaiting the results of a more comprehensive report scheduled in June from the larger Welfare Committee which has employed a survey team to study all aspects of the Health, Welfare, and Recreational Programs of Lubbock. However, as the Salvation Army has requested to be relieved at the end of May, action must be taken now.to assure uninterrupted service and relief to the needy. The Policy Committee has made a careful study of the situation and make the following recommendations which in their opinion are necessary and vital: 1. The present five member board should be increased to a seven member board which should be officially recognized by ordinance or other appropriate action by both the City and County Commissions. Memberships are recammended for term of 11 2, and 3 years with members drawing their terms by lot. 2. The administration of the City -County Welfare Fund should be returned to the City and County together with all costs pertaining thereto effective June 1. This is a necessity as the Salvation Army has given notice to return the administration of the Fund under the terms of the existing contract. This is considered proper under the basic concept that public funds should be administered by a public body and not used to sub- sidize an outside agency carrying out this responsibility. 3. As the responsiblity for welfare and relief to the needy in the County is re- cognized by law to be that of the County, the Committee recommends that the department or office created by recommendation No. 2 be in the County Government, paid by the County, responsible to the County, and all records and reports be maintained by the County. The financial responsih"Lit y should be prorated to the City and County on a basis to be mutually agreed on. 4. The Welfare Committee should be authorized to proceed with the employment (subject to the approval of the City and County Commissioners) of a staff to operate the Welfare Department. The Committee recommends an initial staff of three people. Relief administra- tion on a contractive and professional basis is something that is specialized and requires competent personnel. The staff and proposed salaries are: a. Director $5,000,per year b. Case Worker 3,600 per year c. Stenographer 2,400 per year . 5. The present budget of $48,000 per year or $4,000 per month is not adequate to provide relief even on the emergency basis now in effect. A preliminary report from the City -County -Community Chest Survey presently being conducted indicates that a minimum bud- get of approximately $150,000 per year will be needed to provide adequate welfare and relief, medical care, old folks care, and administration expenses. This is based on the case load of approximately 200 families per month now being served., The Committee re- commends that a four month budget supplement be provided for the months of June through September. This is to provide a trial period on the operation of the new department and to give basis for the preparation of an annual budget. The supplement is as follows- 8 months overexpenditure as of 6-1-54 Salaries four months Office expenses and equipment Automobile (if approved) Total Present approved budget Total Budget $10,000 31667 1,333 1600 $16.9600 lb ,000 A32,,b00 Respectfully Submitted Raymond Burford, Chairman, City -County Welfare Policy Committee After consideration of the report as set out above the City Commission unanimously agreed to approve in general the suggestions as set out and to make every effort to appropriate money required for this fund, in the event the County Commissioners' Court agrees to pay 50% of the cost of this program for the present fiscal year ending September 30, 1954. ;�12-530-942 Motion was made by Commissioner Baker, seconded by Commissioner Forrest, motion carried, Mayor Tripp and Commissioners Baker, Carpenter, Forrest and Thomas voting Yea, none voting Nay, to execute an easement 20' in width across the center of Section 5, Block "A", Lubbock County between the City of Lubbock and the Southwestern Public Service Company for t-he construction of a power line.
