Liz Sisco presented a request for Loudspeaker
Permits for April 18, June 6, and August 8, 1992 at
4707 21st Street.
The applicant has previously received loudspeaker
permits, but Staff requested they again seek
approval from residents in an 800' radius of their
home. Of the 24 residents contacted, all approved
the loudspeaker request. 12 of the residents were
mailed copies of the petition along with self-
addressed, stamped envelopes explaining the
requests, as the applicant was unable to personally
contact them. None of the 12 responded.
All three events require a microphone for a pianist,
and in view of the unanimous approval of nearby
residents and the further fact that the Sisco's hold
an event annually without problems, Staff
recommended approval.
Motion was made by Mayor Pro Tem Patterson, seconded
by Councilman Maloy to approve the request of Liz
Sisco for Loudspeaker Permits for April 18, June G,
and August 8, 1992 events to be held at 4707 21st
Street. Motion carried: 6 Yeas; 0 Hays,

Steve Cone, appeared on behalf of the Lubbock
Hotel/Motel Association to request Council approval
for Hotel/Motel Tax funds to be used as the local
match for the acquisition ❑f a trolley.
According to Staff memo, members ❑f the Association
appeared at the February 26, 1992 Lubbock Transit
Advisory Board (TAB) meeting t❑ make this request
and TAB approved this recommendation for Council
consideration.
The State Law specifies five purposes for which
funds can be expended from Hotel/Motel Tax revenues:
(1) construction/operation ❑f a convention center;
(2) furnishings, personnel and registration ❑f
delegates at a convention center; (3) advertising
and promotional programs t❑ attract visitors and
tourists, such as the convention bureau activities;
(4) promotion of the arts; and (5) historic
restoration and preservation projects, activities or
promotional programs to encourage tourists and
delegates to visit historic sites ❑r museums.
The purchase of a trolley does not clearly fall
within the definitions above; however, it can be
viewed as a secondary purpose if used predominantly
t❑ transport tourists and delegates from hotels to
the Civic Center, restaurants, and historic sites
such as the Lubbock Lakesite, the Ranching Heritage
Center and the Texas Tech Museum. Such usage would
place this purchase under both advertising/promotion
and activities t❑ encourage tourists to visit
historic sites.
According to Staff memo, the maximum impact on the
Convention and Tourism Capital Projects Fund would
be $37,000. Local donations of $5,500 would be
subtracted from the $37,000 local funds needed for
one trolley. As of January 31, 1992, the Convention
and Tourism Capital Projects Fund (#1221) balance
was $168,519.51. Projected revenue to this fund for
the remainder of FY 91-92 is $35,238.66, and on
September 30, 1992, this would leave an ending fund
balance of $203,758.17. Approval of this $37,000
funding request will result in a projected balance
of $166,758.17 on September 30, 1992.
Motion was made by Councilwoman Trejo, seconded by
Councilman Aderton to approve recommendation of the
Lubbock Hotel/Motel Association for allocation ❑f up
to $37,000 from Hotel/Motel Funds to be used for the
local match for one trolley. Motion carried: b
Yeas; 0 Nays.

A representative of the Citizens Traffic Commission
will appear to present request of the Department of
Public Safety for a median cut on Avenue L, south of
4th Street.
Alan Hatch, appeared on behalf of the Citizens
Traffic Commission to present this two-part request
from the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS).
The DPS Region Five office is located at the
northwest corner of Avenue L and 6th Street. Avenue
L in this area is a divided roadway with a raised
concrete median between 4th Street and 6th Street.
Inasmuch as the main access to the property for
patrol vehicles is from Avenue L, the DPS has
requested a median cut to allow their units safer
and faster access to the freeway system (I-27 and
the future East-West Freeway).
Since City of Lubbock Resolution #876 prohibits
median cuts except at intersections, the Traffic
Engineering Department does not have the authority
to grant this request. Therefore, City Staff and
the DPS presented the request to the Citizens
Traffic Commission (CTC), and in the interest of
public safety, the CTC recommended Council approval
of the request.
The second part ❑f the request is for $1,200 to fund
the modification. Resolution #876 also requires
that anyone receiving approval for a median
modification be obligated to pay the entire cost for
such modification. According t❑ DPS correspondence,
State Law prohibits expending State funds on streets
not maintained by the Texas Department of
Transportation.
Mayor McMinn stated that if Council approves the
request, but problems result from the median cut,
that Staff apprise Council so that the issue may be
reconsidered.
Motion was made by Mayor Pro Tem Patterson, seconded
by Councilwoman Baker to approve the request of the
Department of Public Safety for a median cut on
Avenue L, south of 4th Street and that funding for
the modification by paid by the City. Motion
carried: 6 Yeas; 0 Nays.

A copy of the Grant Application is filed with Resolution No. 3832.
According to Staff memo, approval of this grant will
continue the current level of service for Fiscal
Year 1992-1993 and provide capital assistance from
July 1, 1992 through September 30, 1993.
The Capital Assistance portion of the grant is 80%
Federally funded and 20% local share, except for the
expansion vans required to come into compliance with
the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which is
9W* Federally funded and 10% local share. A Public
Transportation Fund grant in the amount of $8,000
has also been approved for a portion of the local
share of the expansion vans. The Capital portion of
the grant will be for Fiscal Year 1991-92 and Fiscal
Year 1992-93. The following items will be used to
maintain the current level of service, t❑ come into
compliance with the ADA requirements, and to provide
additional services:

TOTAL $551,350 $17,270
A brief description and justification of each
capital item follows:
March 12, 1992
Page 178
Computers for Downtown Transfer Center:
The construction of the Downtown Transfer Center
approved in the FY 1992 grant will be completed in
1993 and the dispatch duties will be relocated to
that facility following completion. In FY 1990,
Citibus began to utilize a computer aided
Paratransit Passenger Scheduling System. The
purchase of two computers will allow connection to
the Local Area Network (LAN) installed at Citibus as
a part of the FY 1991 grant. One computer will be
in the Citibus administrative offices, connected to
the LAN, and will have a dedicated telephone line
for communication via modem; the second computer
will be in the Downtown Transfer Center. This will
allow the dispatcher at the facility to be on the
network to utilize present multi-user application
software and communicate directly with other network
users.
Two Trolleys:
Private support for the trolleys included donations
from a local supermarket, the Lubbock Hotel/Motel
Association, and other private companies and is
sufficient to provide the local share for the
purchase of two trolleys.
The trolleys will be utilized on current fixed
routes 5-5 days per week with priority given to
servicing convention delegates at the Civic Center,
hotels and local attractions. initially, the routes
will be determined based on ridership with lower
ridership routes being targeted for promotion. The
trolleys will eventually travel on all routes.
The City of Lubbock has included in its long and
short range goals a commitment to the revitalization
of the downtown area and included in this effort is
the support and commitment to the construction of
the Downtown Transfer Center. Future plans include
a route to connect the downtown area (with the
transfer center being the turn -around location) with
the Texas Tech University campus. This would allow
students and businesses along the route access to
the downtown area.
It will also allow current public parking not
located in the downtown area to be included on the
route to access downtown businesses and therefore
assist the City of Lubbock by eliminating some
future downtown parking development needs.
The trolleys will also be utilized for special
events and the promotion of mass transit in the
Lubbock area.
Facility Repair:
Heavy bus traffic entering and exiting the
maintenance facility onto Texas Avenue, at the west
side of the facility, has damaged the concrete
driveways, causing some buses to drag exhaust pipes
when exiting the facility. If the problem is not
corrected immediately, it will cause damage to the
bus engine.
March 12, 1992
Page 179
Two Expansion Vans:
During the public participation process of the
preparation of the Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA) Compliance Plan, estimates for the ADA
eligible demand for paratransit service were
identified and in order to meet the demand,
additional hours of service and vehicles are
necessary. Two additional vans approved for
purchase in FY 1993 will be utilized for expansion
of the paratransit service.
The Technical Studies portion of the grant is
required for the planning necessary to maintain
eligibility for capital and operating assistance.
This portion of the grant is 80%* Federally funded
and 20% local share. The Federal Government will
fund $100,000 of the $125,000 grant, and the City of
Lubbock will fund the remaining $25,000 for Fiscal
Year 1992-1993.
The Operating Assistance portion of the grant is
funded with 50% Federal share and 50% local match.
The operating portion of the Fiscal Year 1992-1993
grant, as submitted, will include a local share of
$1,300,000, of which $650,000 will be provided by
the City of Lubbock, $390,000 by Texas Tech
University Student Fees, $20,000 by route
guarantees, and $240,000 by the State Public
Transportation Funds. The final Citibus budget for
FY 1993 will be subject to approval by the City
Council.
At their February 24, 1992 meeting, the Lubbock
Public Transit Advisory Board recommended that the
City submit this application to the Federal Transit
Administration. Staff also recommended approval.
Motion was made by Councilwoman Baker, seconded by
Councilman Aderton to authorize Resolution #3832 as
recommended by Staff. Motion carried: 6 Yeas; 0

WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Lubbock, Texas, in 1991
determined that improvement of Meadowbrook Golf Course was a high

According to Staff memo, over the last seven months
a Golf Development Committee has closely examined
the maintenance, construction, design, and
operations of Meadowbrook Golf Course in an effort
to develop recommendations to improve the
playability and ultimately upgrade the overall
quality of the Meadowbrook Golf Course. The
Committee's recommendations included three
categories:
I. Enhanced Maintenance -- Those
activities, in addition to the
current level of activities, needed
to increase the turf and playability
of the course.
I1. Course Improvements -- Those
activities outside of typical
ongoing maintenance activities such
as irrigation improvements that are
one-time activities which would also
increase playability.
III. Course Amenities -- These are
capital improvement items not
necessarily related to the
playability of the course but which
provide the amenities at a golf
course desired by players and which
increase the overall satisfaction
and golfing experience, such as
putting greens, driving ranges,
clubhouse renovations, and water
hazard improvements.
The 13-member committee, with the assistance of
George Manuel, U. S. Golf Association Agronomist,
and the Golf Course staff, identified basic
objectives, reviewed the course needs, prioritized
those needs, and developed recommendations for
implementation. A major part of the recommendation
is associated with the funding of these improvements
and after considerable discussion it was recommended
that the improvements be paid with fee increases.
The initial fee increases are recommended to begin
April 1, 1992, the cart fees increases would begin
in October, 1992, and the membership fees will
increase in January, 1993. Staff recommended that
improvements be phased in over a six -year period.
The Plan was reviewed and approved by the Park Board
on February 18, 1992. Staff recommended approval.
Council heard an extensive presentation by Committee
Members Joe May and Bob Nash, and by Steve Shields,
Golf Supt. and Pro.
Motion was made by Councilwoman Baker, seconded by
Mayor Pro Tem Patterson to authorize Resolution
#3833 as recommended by Staff. Motion carried: 6
