According to Staff memo, the Texas Department of
Transportation provides operating and capital
assistance grants to cities for transit systems.
Previously, the City of Lubbock had received
approval for $258,555 in operating assistance to be
used this year or next year. The State is granting
the City another $10,300 and this funding must be
spent in compliance with requirements of the
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Citibus will
use $2,300 for additional operating assistance and
$8,000 toward the purchase of a van as set out in
the Citibus ADA plan approved by the City Council
last January.
The Contract budget shows operating assistance of
the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) share
$1,200,000 (a maximum amount); State share $260,855
($258,555 + $2,300); and local share $939,145.
Local share is made up of City funds ($577,263),
Texas Tech University Funds ($360,000) and other
matching revenue from private sources.
The Contract budget shows capital assistance for two
vans in the amount of $130,000. The FTA grant is in
the process of being approved and the federal share
should be 80% or 90%, depending on their
interpretation of the ADA regulations. If the FTA
grant is at 80%, only one van will be purchased
instead of two. The State share will be a maximum
of $8,000 with the City share being the remaining or
approximately $5,000.
Staff recommended that the City Council authorize
the aforementioned amendment to Contract No.
512XXF6010.
Motion was made by Mayor Pro Tem Patterson, seconded
by Councilman Aderton to authorize Resolution #3896

BEFORE ME, a Notary Public, on this day personally appeared DAVID
R. LANGSTON, Mayor ❑f the City ❑f Lubbock, Texas, known t❑ me to be the
person whose name is subscribed t❑ the foregoing instrument and
acknowledged to me that he executed the same for the purposes and
consideration therein expressed, and in the capacity herein stated, and

This Agreement is to lease 25.038 acres at the
northeast corner of I-27 and F.M. 2641 (Regis) t❑
the Texas National Guard Armory Board for the
construction of a United States Armed Forces Reserve
Center. The main building will be approximately
109,000 square feet and an organizational
maintenance shop, approximately 14,000 square feet.
Total estimated costs for the complex are $8.6
million, to be funded by the National Guard, the
United States Army Reserve, the United States Marine
Corps, and the United States Navy. The Texas
National Guard Armory Board is the contracting
agency for this project.
Terms of the Agreement are to be $1 for 40 years
with two additional 20-year options for extension
with the provision that the lessee will construct
the facility within five years. The property will
be maintained by the lessee who will also be
responsible for controlling of access into the Air
Operations Area. Upon termination of the lease, the
facilities would become property ❑f the City.
(Subleases are allowed to the branches of the United
States Armed Forces and to the Adjutant General's
Department of the State of Texas.)
Military operations that will be located at this
facility will house 30 full-time positions and in
addition, 1,100 part-time positions. New jobs may
be created in the Lubbock market due to the
anticipated consolidation of area National Guard
Armories into this facility.
This relocation is necessitated by the East/West
Freeway construction. The Airport Board and City
Staff recommended approval of this Resolution.
Motion was made by Councilman Neugebauer, seconded
by Mayor Pro Tem Patterson to authorize Resolution
#3897 and stipulating addition of specific wording
t❑ establish that if construction does not begin in
5 years, that Lease is null and void. Motion

LOTS 5 AND 6, BLOCK 2, WEST END PLACE ADDITION, LUBBOCK, TEXAS;
PROVIDING A PENALTY; PROVIDING A SAYINGS CLAUSE AND PROVIDING FOR

Mayor Langston opened the public hearing at 10:37
a.m.
George McMahon appeared to request this zone change
and agreed not to test motorcycles in alleys.
Others speaking in favor of the request were: Jay
Mathis and Larry Elliott.
No one appeared in opposition. Mayor McMinn closed
the hearing at 10:48 a.m.
David Jones, Director of Planning, stated that
during the previous ten years, zone cases west from
Iola on 19th have generated a common strike list
from most of the C-4 zone case requests. Prior to
these requests, the Codes Administration Department
had experienced enforcement problems with a "chop
shop" or motorcycle repair business in the vicinity
and not a new cycle dealership. From that
experience, the "motorcycle" line in C-4 zone change
requests became a prohibited use with no objections,
from the proponents of the cases.
Mr. Jones gave the adjacent land use relationships
as follows:
North
- vacant zoned C-4
South
- residential
East
- commercial
West
- commercial
According to Staff memo, the request is in
compliance with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan
which suggests that C-4 zoning be located on state
or regional highways, (19th Street has a state
designation). As noted, the zoning is C-4 and this
is a request to add a use excluded in the previous
zone case.
The single discussion item related to zoning policy
has been the possibility of increased noise for the
residential area south of the alley. The existing
ordinance permits all heavy automobile uses in the
building (body, brake, glass, muffler, and
transmission shops) used car sales, and repair
garages for automobiles, and there should be no
detrimental effect on the street system.
May 28, 1992
Page 449
92-51A-449-285
( 5.)
According to Mr. Jones, the Staff supported the
request subject to a condition prohibiting the use
of the alley by patrons or employees riding two or
four wheel bikes. The owners of three lots behind
the business who have built new homes expressed a
concern about noise, and submitted a petition of
names in the general vicinity. Of the persons
within the 200' notice area, three names appear on
the petition who have withdrawn their opposition by
letter opposition to the request is not 20%.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended
approval of this request subject to the following
condition:
1. The alley south of 19th Street
between Juneau and Kewanee will not
be used by any customer or employee
to operate any motorized vehicles
being sold, repaired or serviced at
this dealership.
In light of the condition imposed by P&Z and their
recommendation of approval, Staff supported the
recommendation of the Planning and Zoning
Commission.
Motion was made by Councilman Maloy, seconded by
Councilwoman Baker to pass on first reading
Ordinance #9522 with condition recommended by P&2
and City Staff. Motion carried: 7 Yeas; 0 Nays.

Mayor Langston opened the public hearing at 10:50
a.m.
Gene Faulkner appeared to request this zone change.
No one appeared in opposition.
Mr. Jones stated the request for the option to
convert a building that once housed a car wash to a
quick change oil facility. The existing convenience
store is a non -conforming use in a C-2 zone and was
built when the convenience store and car wash was a
permitted use in C-2. The zone change would allow
the new business and bring the whole corner into
compliance.

Commission reviewed a site plan for the facility
which meets development standards in the C-3
District.

relationships as follows:

Mr. Jones stated that the proponent indicated during
his presentation that competition in the oil quick
change and tune industry has forced the businesses
to seek other avenues ❑f income production. The
property was zoned C-4 last year to provide for auto
glass repair.

19th Street is a regional highway which meets one
test of consideration for C-4 under guidelines of
the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. In terms of zoning
policy, Staff expressed two concerns for discussion
by the Commission:
a. The truck rental allowed in C-4
often creates a very crowded,
unsightly storage of trucks and
trailers adjacent to the street when
a large stock is on hand. The staff
proposed a condition providing
display of one rental truck or
trailer an Quaker and one on 19th
Street; with the remainder parked
behind the front building lines.
This property has a large rear
parking lot.
b. Several adjacent property owners
expressed concerns about full body
repair services. A condition
limiting the service to "minor dent
repair" would solve those concerns.
The proponent agreed with the
proposed list of conditions.
The request should have little effect on traffic.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended
approval of this request subject to the following
conditions:
1. That it be limited to the following
auto related services and all
unconditionally permitted C-3 uses:
A. Auto body dent repair,
no major frame or body
repairs or paint booth;
B.
Brake service;
C.
Muffler service;
D.
Seat cover/upholstery
service;
E.
Glass repair;
F.
Auto tune up and minor
engine repairs; and
G.
Truck/trailer rental
2. Rental truck/trailer display shall
be limited to one unit on 19th
Street and one unit on Quaker
Avenue. All other rental units
shall be parked behind the front
building line along each adjacent
street.
In light of the conditions recommended by P&Z, Staff
supported the recommendation of the Planning and
Zoning Commission.
Mayor Langston closed the hearing at 11:00 a.m.
Motion was made by Mayor Pro Tem Patterson, seconded
by Councilman Maloy to pass an first reading
Ordinance 49525 with conditions recommended by P&Z

A copy of the Contract with MWM Architects, Inc. is filed with
Resolution No. 3898.
May 28, 1992
Page 454
This Contract provides for architectural and
engineering services to be provided by MWM for the
construction of the Downtown Transfer Plaza. The
contract amount is $112,285, of which $89,828 will
be provided by the Federal Transit Administration,
and $22,457 will be provided by the City of Lubbock.
Oil overcharge funds from the TxDOT in the amount of
$370,000 are available for this project, and will be
used for the purchase of land, utility relocation
and construction. The contract amount consists of
$101,500 for basic services and $10,785 for the
following additional services:
Perimeter, topographic and
improvement survey of entire site to
include existing utilities to
centerline of existing streets -
$5,535
Landscape design, planning, and
specifications - $1,750
Site sprinkler system design,
drawings, and specifications
$1,000
Geotechnical engineering services -
$2,500
A survey of several Texas cities, Texas Tech
University, and LISD revealed that basic services
for this type of architectural work average 6-8% of
the construction cost. The basic services in the
amount of $101,500 for this contract are 7.25% of
the construction cost for which MWM will be
responsible. Since MWM's fee falls near the middle
of the range, the fee is considered reasonable.
The City of Lubbock issued a Request for Proposals
(RFP) to solicit architectural proposals and
received nine proposals in March 1992. After
reviewing all of the proposals, checking references,
and interviewing three of the architectural firms, a
selection committee recommended MWM as the architect
to design the Downtown Transfer Plaza. On April 23,
1992, the City Council gave their approval to
negotiate a contract with MWM.
In order to expedite the design and construction of
the Downtown Transfer Plaza, Citibus recommended
that the City Council authorize the aforementioned
contract with MWM Architects, Inc.

The City of Lubbock has participated in the Summer
Food Program for the last two years. A daily
average of 820 meals was served to children, ages
1-18 years, at twelve sites throughout Lubbock. The
grant completely reimbursed the direct costs (meal
service personnel, sack lunches and consumable
supplies) and the indirect costs (meal service
monitor, office supplies, and some administrative
personnel expenses). With the success of the 1990
and 1991 Summer Food Program and a continuing trend
toward more basic human services within the City
[i.e., the successful Summer Satellite Playground
Program and Butler Park Outreach Program [B-POP] and
Rodgers Park and Rawlings Park Outreach Program [R-
POP] for teenagers), the Summer Food Program
fulfills a vital need for Lubbock children during
the summer.
This year's grant will total $46,288 and the local
share is $6,290, which will be supplied by the City
of Lubbock from in -kind contributions and services.
The number of meals served this year will average
953 meals per day at 12 sites for 54 days through
this summer and will provide 51,462 lunches to area
children.

The Brazos River Authority was contracted with to
construct and operate the Lake Alan Henry Project ❑n
behalf of the City. The Council determined that due
to their expertise in this area that they were in a
better position to acquire the mineral rights on
behalf of the City in order to bring this project to
a conclusion.
Brazos River Authority has on behalf of the City
been obtaining the mineral interests pursuant to
Amendment No. 1, wherein they were to obtain a
subrogation of the mineral owners' interests to the
fee title held by the City. The Brazos River
Authority felt that they could obtain subrogation
agreements, whereby the City's fee ownership would
be a predominant ownership and that would be
sufficient protection for the City in operating the
Reservoir Project. However, as the River Authority
has proceeded in this regard, it appears that they
may well need to acquire the fee ownership of the
mineral interests in certain situations. It was
felt by the Authority that an amendment to this
effect should be added to their contract which in
fact authorizes them to acquire the fee ownership of
mineral interests necessary for the project, subject
to approval by the City Council.
May 28, 1992

Amendment No. 2 to the Water Supply Agreement by and

Lubbock authorizes the Brazos River Authority to
acquire the fee ownership of mineral interests in
the lands in, under or around the Lake Alan Henry
Project as may be necessary for the proper
conclusion of such project, subject to the prior
approval of the City Council. The City Attorney has
reviewed this particular Amendment and feels that it
is in the best interest of the City to execute same
and recommended execution of this Amendment.

The Participation Agreement is filed with Resolution No. 3902.
As a local government, the City of Lubbock may join
with other eligible public entities to pool their
monies and receive higher earnings on the investment
of public funds.
Currently, yields earned by these investment pools
are higher than those earned by eligible investment
securities that offer the same safety and liquidity,
required by current investment policies and
procedures.
This Resolution would authorize the Mayor to execute
participation agreements with two funds:
TexPool has accumulated average net assets of over
$2 billion. TexPool is administered by the State
Treasury and has been operating since Oecember 1989.
Local Government Investment Fund (LGIF) has
accumulated average net assets of over $71 million.
LGIF is administered by a board of directors made up
of Government Finance Officers. The pool is
administered through Fidelity Investments and has
been operating since December, 1989.
Opening an account in any or all investment pools
will enable the City of Lubbock to participate, if
desired. The degree of participation would be
determined by current investment policies of
maintaining the highest yield possible while
maintaining the required safety and liquidity.
There is no minimum requirement and the account can
be closed at any time. Funds can be deposited and
withdrawn within one day, keeping public monies
available, but also earning interest up to the day
they are needed for essential public services.
May 28, 1992
Page 463
There was a brief discussion regarding the stability
of the pools, and Mr. Massengale advised that both
are backed by government securities.
Staff advised that this is a good ❑pportunity for
the City of Lubbock t❑ maximize investment earnings
within required safety and liquidity constraints and
therefore recommended proceeding.
Motion was made by Councilman Neugebauer, seconded
by Councilwoman Trejo to authorize Resolution #3901
and Resolution #3902 as recommended by Staff.
Motion carried: 7 Yeas; 0 Nays.

(18.) Consider Resolution #3903 amending rules and
establishing ❑olicies and procedures relating to a
consent agenda.
RESOLUTION #3903
This Resolution was held.
At the May 14 Council meeting, Mayor Langston
requested that staff identify the process required
to establish and implement the use of a consent
agenda for Council to act upon those items deemed to
be of a non -controversial, routine administrative
nature. The purpose of the consent agenda is to
handle those routine administrative items as
expeditiously as possible and allow more time for
discussion of those items which are more critical
and non -routine in nature.
According to the City Council Order ❑f Business,
Rules and Procedures Manual, any new rules or
amendments to the rules must be first introduced
into the record before they can be voted upon.
Therefore, this item must be introduced into the
record and then voted on and approved at the next
Council meeting.
In the proposed consent agenda procedure, items
which may be placed on the consent agenda by the
City Manager include, but are not limited to, the
following:
1. Approval of minutes of previous
Council meeting.
2. Second readings ❑f ordinances that
d❑ not require changes from first
readings of ordinances.
3. Acceptances of paving and other
utility construction projects.
4. Routine authorizations for the mayor
to sign cover sheets, plans of
highway projects impacting the city
limits.
5. Traffic ordinances.
6. Formal authorization ❑f submittal of
state and federal grants discussed
in previous Council work sessions.
May 28, 1992
Page 464
7. Resolutions designating certain
staff assignments in compliance with
grant application procedures.
8. Approvals of sales of property in
urban renewal, community development
areas for residential purposes.
9. Bid awards.
10. Ordinances on first reading that
have previously been discussed or
concurred with by Council that are
non -controversial.
11. Street and alley license permits
that have little impact on overall
street and alley traffic operations.
12. Other resolutions of a
non -controversial nature.
In the event that any citizen makes an oral or
written request to the Mayor or City Manager, or if
any Council member, the City Manager or anyone
acting in his place requests the removal of any item
on the consent agenda for debate, the Mayor shall
have the item removed from the consent agenda and
this item will be considered on an individual basis
in its normal sequence.
A motion and a second with a majority vote for
approval is sufficient to carry and approve all the
items listed on the consent agenda with the
exception of those which have been removed under the
procedures outlined previously. This approval shall
have the same effect as though each item were
considered separately and voted on separately.
At this meeting, the Council must introduce the
amended rules and procedures into the record to be
voted on at the next Council meeting.
Motion was made by Councilwoman Baker, seconded by
Mayor Pro Tem Patterson to approve this item as
recommended by Staff. Motion carried: 7 Yeas; 0

[16.} Consider approval of assignment of mineral interests
and Bill ❑f Sale of Exxon's mineral interests in the
Lake Alan Henry area to Brazos River Authority on
behalf of the City of Lubbock._
According to Staff memo, on May 15, 1992, the City
Attorney received correspondence from Mr. Terry L.
Grantham, who is an attorney representing the Brazos
River Authority, setting forth the details of the
request made by the River Authority to the City of
Lubbock.
Exxon has agreed to sell to the Authority (on behalf
of the City) all of Exxon's mineral interests in the
Lake Alan Henry area for the same price offered to
Exxon by the Authority to acquire subrogation rights
from Exxon. The agreed purchase price is
$473,634.07 and is the price offered by the
Authority on advice of Authority's engineers.
The attorney for the Authority advises that if these
mineral interests are acquired by condemnation that
the purchase price would be considerably more than
the $473,634.07 offered by the Authority. While no
one can be exactly sure how much more the
acquisition of these mineral interests could cost by
condemning them, Staff are told that the cost could
run as high as two million dollars.
The River Authority feels that the agreement
negotiated with Exxon will also set the favorable
pricing of other mineral interest that the River
Authority will be acquiring for the City and
recommended that they be authorized to conclude the
agreement with Exxon.
The River Authority feels that the environmental
risks associated with the acquisition of these
properties are negligible and that the
indemnification paragraph (Section 5) in the Exxon
conveyance is an acceptable risk that the Authority
and ultimately the City should assume in view of the
cost savings offered by accepting this contract.
The River Authority's attorney has informed the City
Attorney that the provisions of Section 5 of the
Exxon Agreement (indemnification clause) are
non-negotiable and if the River Authority does not
buy the mineral interests with this Section included
that Exxon will sell to other parties.
The River Authority is of the opinion that acquiring
these mineral interests by agreed sale would avoid
the delay associated with taking these interests
through condemnation processes.
May 28, 1992
Page 469
The City Attorney has reviewed the agreement
submitted by Exxon for conveyance t❑ the Brazos
River Authority of its mineral interests in the Lake
Alan Henry properties and feels that it is his duty
to point out to the City Council the very broad
limits ❑f exposure the City Council would be
assuming by authorizing the execution of the
agreement negotiated between the River Authority and
Exxon. The City Attorney points out the following:
(a) Section 5 is non-negotiable as far
as Exxon is concerned, Staff either
take it ❑r leave it.
(b) In the first full paragraph ❑f
Section 5 the City acknowledges that
the properties have been used for
oil and gas production; that Staff
have inspected the sites; that Staff
acknowledge that there may have been
spills of oil, gas, water or other
materials in the past on the
property purchased and on other
properties. In addition, Staff
acknowledge that some oil field
production equipment may contain
asbestos and/or naturally ❑ccurring
radiation material. Staff
acknowledge that special procedures
may be necessary for the removal and
disposal of asbestos and naturally
❑ccurring radiation materials that
may have been buried on these or
surrounding properties. The City
will assume all liability for
assessment, removal and disposal of
such materials and associated
activities.
(c) In the second paragraph of Section
5, the City is buying these mineral
interests "AS IS, WHERE IS" and the
City releases Exxon from any
liability with respect to these
properties whether or not caused by
or attributable to Exxon's
negligence. The City further waives
its right to recover from Exxon and
forever releases and discharges
Exxon from any and all damages,
claims, losses, liabilities,
penalties, fines, liens, judgments,
costs ❑r expenses whatsoever
(including attorney fees) whether
direct or indirect, known or
unknown, that may arise on account
of or in any way connected with the
physical condition of the properties
or any law or regulation applicable
thereto, including all of the
federal environmental statutes set
forth in paragraph two of Section 5
of Exxon's draft agreement.
May 28, 1992
Page 470
(d) In the third paragraph of Section 5
of the Exxon agreement, the City is
agreeing to indemnify and defend
Exxon, its successors and assigns
from and against all claims, demands
and causes of action including any
civil fines, penalties, cost of
clean up or plugging liabilities for
the properties bought. The City is
further agreeing to hold Exxon
harmless from any causes of action
brought against Exxon by the State
or Federal Government.
The City Attorney believes that the hold harmless,
indemnity, release, waiver and assumption of
liability provisions set forth in Section 5 of the
Exxon agreement makes the City of Lubbock a virtual
insurer of Exxon for its actions in relation to the
properties involved in the mineral interest
conveyance. Exxon would be charged a large premium
for insurance purchased to protect it in the same
manner as they are requesting the City to protect
them in Section 5 of their agreement. THE FUTURE
LIABILITY MAY BE VERY COSTLY TO THE CITY AND THE
CITY COUNCIL NEEDS TO CONSIDER THIS FACT CAREFULLY
BEFORE GIVING CONSENT TO THIS CONVEYANCE FROM EXXON.
The Council is granting a consideration to Exxon
over and above the cash price to be paid to Exxon
and that consideration is the value in dollars of
the agreements to hold Exxon harmless from all the
liabilities set forth in Section 5 of the proposed
Exxon agreement. When the value of this
consideration is added, the price may be too high
for the purchase of these interests.
What is it worth to Exxon t❑ be held harmless and
defended by the City for violations of the following
federal statutes?
1. THE COMPREHENSIVE ENVIRONMENTAL
RESPONSE, COMPENSATION AND LIABILITY
ACT OF 1980. (42 USC, SECTION 9601
ET. SEQ.)
2. THE RESOURCE CONSERVATION AND
RECOVERY ACT OF 1976.

What insurance company would issue a policy covering
the above exposures? Should the City undertake to
do what an insurance company may not be willing to
do? Should the City place itself between the
federal government and Exxon in the event of an
environmental claim made by the federal government
against Exxon? These are questions that the Council
should consider in its deliberations on this
request.
Brazos River Authority is requesting authority to
execute an agreement with Exxon to purchase mineral
interests of Exxon at Lake Alan Henry. The River
Authority feels the price is right, it is quicker to
purchase the property, it will establish a benchmark
price for other properties and the environmental
risks are not very large. The City Attorney,
however, strongly recommended against the agreement
because of the very broad liability that the City
would assume by executing the agreement. The City
Attorney would recommended that the River Authority
condemn the mineral interests if necessary rather
than execute the Exxon agreement.
This matter was discussed in executive session, and
after executive session Mayor Langston announced the
discussion and consensus of Council to request a
motion to approve acquisition of the property
subject to and contingent upon Freese & Nichols, on
behalf of the Brazos River Authority, going to Exxon
Corporation for purposes of review of Exxon's
environmental study, and once the City is assured
that there are no environmental problems, as
analyzed by these environmental experts, the goal is
to move forward with the purchase of the properties.
Motion was made by Mayor Pro Tem Patterson, seconded
by Councilman Maloy to approve assignment of mineral
interests and Bill of Sale of Exxon's mineral
interests in the Lake Alan Henry area to Brazos
River Authority on behalf of the City of Lubbock,
contingent upon Freese & Nichols review, on behalf
of Brazos River Authority, of Exxon's Environmental
Study and assurance from Freese & Nichols after the
review, that no environmental problems are present.
