The Board deems it necessary to report on the status of negotiations with Pioneer Natural Gas Company. The gas contract of January 1, 1960, as amended October 6, 1966, and letter agreement of November 19, 1970, will expire on December 31; 1973. Consequently, an agreement must be made for gas after that date as it has been in the past. However, this year Pioneer Natural has pro- posed a new contract which differs from the existing contracts and agreements in the matters o£,s.ervice and price. Because of these significant.differences in contract form and in particu- lar Article II (service interruption clauses) and Article VIII (price.esculator clause), the Electric Utility Board advises that the proposed gas contract in -its present form is unacceptable and is not in the best interests of the City of Lubbock. Due to the fact that Pioneer Natural Gas Company is the only gas supplier available and their terms of sale could seriously jeopardize the funds of the City of Lubbock, your advice and guidance is requested in the pursuance of this matter. Sincerely, Is/ Otha Key, Chairman Electric Utility Board The City Council considered the above recommendation of the City's Electric Utility Board in regard to an increase in gas rates. Mr. Otha Key, Chairman of the Electric Utility Board appeared and presented the recommendation. After consideration of all information presented, it was unanimously agreed by the City Council to request the Electric Utility Board to negotiate further with Pioneer Natural Gas Company on the contract for purchase of gas. 72-31-327-795 Motion was made by Councilman Baker, seconded by Councilman Hollingsworth, motion carried, Mayor (33) Turner and Councilmen Hollingsworth, Jordan, Baker and Campbell voting Yea, none voting Nay, to authorize employment of Lubbock Labs, 402 Avenue H, Lubbock, Texas, to test soil and sub soil and building materials in connection with the construction of the Central Library in the Memorial Civic Center.

On motion by Alton Brazell, seconded by Max Arrants, the County pledged the payment of an amount of not to exceed $75,000.00. In the event that the matching basis requirement is less than the $75,000.00 for each City and the County, the County pledges its pro-rata 50-50 share of such less figure, and in no event to exceed $75,000.00 The timing of the County payment is based upon the finishing of the building, and the County'-s payment is to be considered due and payable when the final payment is due to be made to the -Contractor constructing the Central Library. Motion was made by Councilwoman Jordan, seconded by Councilman Baker, motion carried, Mayor Turner and Councilmen Hollingsworth, Jordan, Baker and Campbell voting Yea, none voting Nay, to accept the offer of Lubbock County as set out in the above Resolution, for the City to match the County, dollar for dollar up to a maximum of $75,F000 each to be applied toward the construc- tion and furnishing of the new central City -County Library in the Memorial Civic Center area.
