Hold a Public Hearing for the Fiscal Year 1993
Annual Plan of the Comprehensive Housing
Affordability Strategy (CHAS).
Mayor Langston opened the public hearing at 10:58.
Sandy Ogletree, Community Development Coordinator,
presented the staff comments concerning the
Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS)
Fiscal Year 1993 Annual Plan. She noted two
problems with development of the plan: 1) HUD did
not release the final regulations for the 1993 CHAS
until mid -September 1992, and 2) 1990 Census
information concerning housing is still very
limited. She explained the purpose of the CHAS,
summarized the data used in developing the plan, and
reviewed the goals of the plan.
According to staff memo, in accordance with the
requirements of the Cranston -Gonzalez National
Affordable Housing Act of 1990, the Community
Development Department prepared a draft
Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS)
Annual Performance Plan for review and comment by
the public prior to its submission to the U. S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development on
December 30, 1992.
December 17, 1992
Page 1056
The CHAS is a comprehensive planning document that
identifies Lubbock's overall needs for affordable
and supportive housing and outlines a strategy to
address these needs.
An approved CHAS is required before HUD will
consider applications for funding under the FY 1993
program. As part of the submission process, the
City Council conducts one public hearing give
citizens an opportunity to comment on the draft
CHAS.
A Notice of Availability for Public Review and
Comment was published in the Lubbock Avalanche -
Journal on November 29, 1992, which summarized the
draft CHAS Annual Plan and invited interested
parties to comment either in writing or at the
public hearing. In addition, a copy of the draft
Annual Plan was mailed directly to area
organizations involved in housing and social
services.
The Annual Plan covers the period from October 1,
1992 to September 30, 1993. This Annual Plan must
set forth a specific plan of investment of use of
housing funds expected to be made available during
the 1993 Federal Fiscal Year. It must also
determine goals for individuals and households to be
served and must describe the implementation plan
guiding these activities.
The Annual Plan continues to utilize the goals and
strategies established in the FY 1992 CHAS. These
five-year and annual goals are divided into two
basic categories: General Housing and Special
Population Needs. The following are strategies
which have been adopted to address each of the
needs.
General Housing Needs:
1. Provide resources to preserve the
existing housing stock for very low
and low income households.
2. Provide adequate rental housing
opportunities for very low income
renters.
3. Provide and promote home ownership
opportunities for low income home
buyers.
SSgecial Population Needs:
4. Provide transitional service
enriched housing for homeless
families and families at -risk of
becoming homeless.
5. Provide accessible service enriched
facilities for adolescents and
youth.
6. Provide a service enriched facility
for temporary care of the elderly
and handicapped.
December 17, 1992
Page 1057
Included in the Annual Plan are descriptions of the
projects which are designed to address each of the
five-year strategies and will serve as a guide in
targeting resources in the coming year.
Councilmember Neugebauer asked if HOPE III is the
program where Lubbock got more funding than it
requested. Ms. Ogletree replied affirmatively,
relating that Lubbock asked for $300,000, received
$1 million, and matched that to $1.3 million with
the Indiana Avenue houses.
Councilmember Patterson asked about the size of the
student population in Lubbock. David Buckberry
replied that students total about 25,000, with 6,000
living on campus.
Sherry Hurst, member of the ADA Task Force,
addressed the Council. She reviewed the general
provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act,
then expressed concerns with the text of the draft
report. She asked the Council not to exclude people
with disabilities from participation in programs for
other targeted groups to which they might also
belong. She then noted several specific questions
concerning the text of the document.
Councilmember Neugebauer asked that Ms. Hurst's
comments be incorporated into the final document
sent to HUD. He also suggested that the document be
reviewed by the ADA Task Force.
Mayor Langston closed the public hearing at 11:25

A copy of the Agreement is filed with Resolution No. 4046.
Jim Bertram presented the staff comments. He
reviewed the major provision of the contract, noting
that it is a six year contract renewable for six
more years. Funds will be provided for work
performed by the City in administering and
developing the Unified Planning Work Program and
Transportation Improvement Programs.
According to staff memo, the Governor of Texas has
designated the Metropolitan Planning Organization
(MPO) to be the single -focus transportation planning
organization for the Lubbock urbanized area and has
executed an agreement to effectuate the designation.
On September 8, 1992, the MPO entered into a
contract with the State of Texas (Texas Department
of Transportation) to assume the responsibility for
work items included in the Unified Planning Work
Program to be funded through Sections 8 and 112 of
the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency
Act.
December 17, 1992
Page 1060
The current Unified Planning Work Program has been
approved by the State and the U. S. Department of
Transportation (Federal Highway Administration and
Federal Transit Administration). The MPO will make
available to the City the Section 8 and Section 112
funds in payment for work performed by the City in
administering the current Unified Planning Work
Program as well as developing and implementing
future Unified Planning Work Programs and
Transportation Improvement Programs.
The major provisions of the contract are itemized
below:
1. The term of the contract is six
years. If at the end of six years,
no major revisions to the contract
are necessary, a letter from the MPO
to the City will renew the agreement
for an additional six years.
2. The City must provide a
Transportation Planning Director for
the MPO. To comply with this
provision, the City must employ a
full-time transportation planner.
This new position will be funded in
its entirety with federal and state
funds. The position will have no
cost to the City.
3. The amount of federal and state
planning funds for Fiscal Year 1993
is $328,870.00. This amount
includes the funding for the
transportation planner position.
The amount of planning funds for
future years will depend upon the
size of the work order issued by the
State through the MPO.
Since the inception of the Federally -mandated urban
transportation planning process, the local district
office of the Texas Department of Transportation
(TxDOT) has provided the staff support for the MPO.
Subsequent to the passage of the Intermodal Surface
Transportation Efficiency Act, TOOT, on a statewide
basis, is transferring this work to the cities
within the urbanized areas of the district.
Approval of this contract is recommended to enable
the City to provide staff support to the MPO at no
cost to the City.
Councilmember Neugebauer noted that it is unusual
for the federal government to shift responsibilities
to the city and send money to fund them.

ORDINANCE #9575
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 6 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE
CITY OF LUBBOCK, TEXAS, ENTITLED "BUILDINGS AND BUILDING REGULATIONS" BY
ADOPTING THE UNIFORM BUILDING CODE, 1991 EDITION; SETTING FORTH GENERAL
SPECIFICATIONS FOR BUILDING; DELETING DUPLICATIONS OF REGULATION;
SETTING PERMIT AND FEE REQUIREMENTS; PROVIDING A PENALTY; PROVIDING A
SAVINGS CLAUSE; AND PROVIDING FOR PUBLICATION.
David Jones, Director of Planning, presented the
staff comments. According to staff memo, for the
past 40 years Lubbock has followed the Uniform Code
Series written and published by the International
Conference of Building Officials as its standard for
building construction, construction materials,
structural design, and life safety. The Uniform
Code is reviewed annually and updated to reflect new
methods, new materials and new technology. Updates
are published every three years.
In reviewing the 1991 release of the Uniform
Building Code, the following five areas are those
the staff and the Building Board of Appeals feel
need to be addressed:
1. Sec. 1201--A new definition and
occupancy classification for a
residential classification titled
"Congregate" housing. This is
designated for cities with colleges
and universities where there has
been an increase in non-traditional
living arrangements.
2. Sec. 1201(e)4--Smoke detectors are
now required in all sleeping rooms
in residential construction. Prior
to the 1991 update, smoke detectors
were only required in the hallway of
residential construction.
3. Sec. 1712--Reduces the spacing
between rails in guardrails from 6
inches to 4 inches to protect
children below 10 years of age from
falling through the rails
(particularly adapted to balcony
applications).
4. Chapter 31 was added to address
accessibility for the disabled.
5. Sec. 3305(J) has been added to
clarify where and when elevators are
required to be separated from
one -hour exit corridors.
Items 1, 2, 3 and 5 are fairly routine; however,
Item 4 is more complex and there are several options
that can provide the guidelines to follow in
addressing accessibility for the disabled and
subsequent enforcement.
December 17, 1992
Page 1064
One specific issue pertaining to accessibility for
the disabled is handicapped parking. Although there
is general community interest in seeing that
handicapped parking regulations are enforced,
because there is no uniform policy, no uniform
design standards and no authority to require
handicapped parking, it has been difficult for
Municipal Court to litigate these cases.
The enforceability of handicapped parking
requirements notwithstanding, the current heightened
awareness concerning accessibility for individuals
with disabilities makes this an issue to be
addressed. In order to evaluate alternatives for
uniform policy provisions, the following statutes
which address handicapped accessibility were
researched:
1. The 1992 annual conference of the
International Conference of Building
Officials approved certain
amendments to Chapter 31. One of
those was to adopt the Americans
with Disabilities Act (ADA)
Accessibility Guidelines for
Buildings and Facilities (ADAAG) as
the required design standards for
ADA. While methods used to
implement this compliance are
usually left to the states and/or
local communities, the design
standards are mandated.
2. Another alternative authority that
was considered with regard to the
accessibility issue was the
Elimination of Architectural
Barriers Act of Texas, Article 9102,
Vernon's Texas Civil Statutes, with
"Rules and Regulations Including
Accessibility Standards and
Specifications". Originally, this
Act adopted the Uniform Federal
Accessibility Standards (UFAS) as
its design standards but the Act was
amended to require that the
standards be consistent with ADAAG
standards as adopted by ADA. As of
September 1, 1992, the Texas
Department of Licensing and
Regulation was directed to initiate
proceedings under the ADA to become
certified as the state agency
delegated to enforce the ADA.
3. A third alternative is Article
6675a-5e.1, Section 6A, Vernon's
Texas Civil Statutes. It deals with
handicapped parking requirements in
the Texas Road, Bridge and Ferries
Act. Since federal law would
preempt this statute, no other
action needs to be taken to resolve
any conflict here.
December 17, 1992

The adopted design standards for both Acts are
applicable to all public entities, all public
accommodations and all commercial facilities. The
standards apply to all new construction and all
substantial alteration. At issue during the review
of all three statutes was the question, "who is
responsible for enforcement"? The ADA clearly sets
out that the Department of Justice is the federal
enforcement agency. As of September 1, 1991
enforcement for the Acts under the state statutes
was transferred from the General Services Commission
to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.
For enforcement purposes persons who feel their
rights have been denied would file a complaint with
the Justice Department or with any other certified
agency such as the State Department of Licensing and
Regulation. The other alternative is for local
enforcement. To accommodate this, the City would
need to pass an ordinance specifying which portions
of ADA are to be enforced.
The Board considered the three options below as
alternatives for implementing ADA.
1. Adopting Chapter 31, as amended, of
UBC which adopts the ADAAG design
standards and would make the City
responsible for enforcing all
standards. These standards apply to
all new construction or any
substantial alteration of public
accommodations.
2. Adopting the Texas Architectural
Barriers Act in Lieu of Chapter 31,
which now contains the same ADAAG
standards as ADA.
3. Adopting a local ordinance selecting
which portion of the ADA
requirements the City wishes to
enforce.
Staff's initial reaction was to recommend that the
Board of Appeals adopt the 1991 Edition of the UBC
including Chapter 31, as amended at the Annual
Conference of International Conference of Building
Officials in September.
This recommendation was based on the premise that
the city now has the opportunity, with Chapter 31,
to accommodate the full range of accessibility
issues. There is also a factor of risk, both from a
political and liability point of view. Staff has
the responsibility to try to accommodate these
issues, and if staff does not respond to the fullest
extent possible, there could be certain liability
under the 1983 Civil Rights Act.
December 17, 1992
Page 1066
There is a technical advantage in adopting Chapter
31 as amended. By definition of the Act, Lubbock is
a Title II City with authority for enforcement for
streets, roads and walkways already contained in the
Act. The Engineering staff has been working on the
issue of required curb ramps and the Legal
Department is currently preparing a draft ordinance
to establish the authority and implementation
procedures to require curb cuts. Chapter 31
contains this authority and requirement and, if
adopted, would eliminate a piecemeal approach to
total ADA compliance.
A technical advisory subcommittee which has been
studying ADA implementation recommended that staff
go with a roughened surface on curb ramps. The
September adoption of the ADAAG standards includes
this option but additional action on the city's part
will be necessary to specify the preferred surface
finish. The difficulty with adopting Chapter 31, as
amended, is accepting the responsibility in some
very unfamiliar areas. In addition, staff is unable
to estimate manpower requirements and/or other
costs.
Adopting the second alternative, the Texas
Architectural Barriers Act, has no advantage since
it contains the same design specifications as ADA.
The City's third alternative is to specify its own
level of enforcement which would require several
ordinances. This alternative is consistent with the
way staff is presently operating and involves the
creation of an ordinance which specifically sets out
the ADAAG standards that staff currently inspect,
with the addition of handicapped parking, signage
and curb ramps.
The Board of Appeals, at the urging of the West
Texas Home Builders Association and several
independent contractors, voted to delete Chapter 31
from the UBC and to adopt the city's own level of
enforcement, and this is staff's recommendation as
well.
The ordinance recommended by Staff and the Building
Board of Appeals places the 1991 Edition of the UBC
in force without Chapter 31. Instead of Chapter 31,
the ordinance continues enforcement of accessibility
to sanitation facilities and adds enforcement of
accessibility to handicapped parking, signage and
curb ramps. It applies only to those -handicapped
spaces created after January 1, 1993. It also does
not mandate that these spaces be installed but
ADAAG/ADA specifications be observed when they are
installed. The responsibility for enforcement
shifts to the private sector working through the
Justice Department. The ordinance also contains
authority to increase fees for commercial plan
reviews and adds a liability insurance and proof of
ownership requirement in certain instances where a
property owner builds his or her own home.

construction or repair is a part of the building
permit except in residential subdivisions developed
before January 26, 1992. In those subdivisions,
ramp construction would not be required on streets
adjacent to R-1 or R-2 zoned property. Future ramp
construction on those streets will be done by the
City according to the ADA Transition Plan. This
code change will require all new street paving in
future subdivisions to have down -curb sections in
the radii of the intersections to allow curb ramp
construction with the installation of sidewalks.
Staff recommended approval.

A copy of the Grant Application is filed with Resolution No. 4048.
Rita Harmon, Assistant City Manager for Public
Safety and Services, presented the staff comments.
She noted that this is the second grant the city has
received under this program.
According to staff memo, Keep Lubbock Beautiful,
Inc. is seeking funds to implement an Urban
Reforestation Project within the City of Lubbock and

Administration to help support the program. A local
in -kind match of $15,500 is provided by the City of
Lubbock through personnel salary, fringe benefits,
equipment, planting and staking supplies, mulch, and
hardware for the installation of a drip irrigation
system.
The purpose of the Small Business Administration
funded National Tree Planting Program Grant is to
plant trees on land owned or controlled by the State
or local government by obtaining services and
supplies from small business owners. The Texas
Forest Service has been designated by Governor Ann
Richards to administer this program in Texas.

SBA funds will provide for the planting and
maintenance of approximately 140 trees in five park
sites (Berl Huffman Athletic Complex and Helen
Hodges, Leroy Elmore, Mose Hood, and Buster Long
Parks). Each park will receive approximately 25
trees. Average caliper of trees will be 2 112" to
3" with an average height of 8' to 12'. Trees will
be planted and cared for by Parks and Recreation
maintenance staff.
This is the second grant received from the Small
Business Administration National Tree Planting
Program Grant. The first grant received, which was
for $19,800, provided for the planting of 125 trees
throughout six park sites (Dupree, Jennings, Lusk,
Mae Simmons, Smith and Berry Parks).
Key Provisions
1. The local government is required to
pass a resolution authorizing the
appropriate representative to
execute agreements associated with
the grant request and committing
that agency to providing its share
of the cost of the project as
described in the grant application.
2. Once the applicant has accepted the
grant in writing, it is the

Date:
Park Development Superintendent Carlos Vigil
presented the staff comments. He explained that
this is a joint project between the City and State
for landscaping in the I-27/Atzlan/Mackenzie Park
area. Using site plans, he detailed the proposed
improvements for this area.
According to staff memo, the State Highway and
Public Transportation Commission established the
Landscape Cost Sharing Program in 1989 and set aside
state funds to be used to share in the cost of joint
beautification projects throughout Texas.
This project will develop a landscaped link between
Atzlan Park and Mackenzie Park in the ROW. under
Interstate 27. Development of this corridor is a
portion of the Canyon Lakes greenbelt and will
include tree planting, shrubs and ground cover and
sidewalk extensions. The total estimated cost of
the project is $78,345.00, and it will be funded
jointly by the State and the City. The State will
provide $22,184; the City's total contribution is
$56,161 and represents $35,000 plus non -cash in -kind
values representing a two-year maintenance
agreement. The City's $35,000 has been provided in
the 1992-93 Parks Capital Project Budget.
December 17, 1992
Page 1078
Key Provisions
1. The project will develop a
landscaped link between Atzlan and
Mackenzie Parks at I-27. The
development will include planting 75
trees, shrubs and the sowing of
grass seed.
2. The City's contribution of $56,161
represents the agreed, fair -market,
non -cash value for providing the
project design plan, labor and
equipment to fully install all
landscape plant material, labor and
equipment to fully install an
automatic irrigation system, and
project maintenance and
establishment activities for a
period of twenty-four consecutive
months.
The Atzlan/Mackenzie Corridor Development will be
another improvement to the Canyon Lakes greenbelt.
Staff recommended approval.
Councilmember Aderton asked if you will eventually
be able to travel from Lake 1 to Lake 6. Mr. Vigil
answered that those connections are planned.
Councilmember Neugebauer asked if the entire project
will be irrigated. Mr. Vigil replied that only the
planting areas will be irrigated. Councilmember
Neugebauer expressed concern that current Highway

According to staff memo, the City Council passed a
resolution in 1984 creating a Lubbock Municipal Arts
Committee (LMAC) which was to serve as an advisory
body to Council on matters concerning the selection
and placement of art in or on City -owned facilities
and properties. LMAC has been inactive and has not
functioned as an advisory committee to Council for
some time.
In 1990, the Municipal Garden and Arts Center
Advisory Committee (MGACAC) was created and
established as an advisory committee to the Park and
Recreation Board (Ordinance #9348). This committee
was to make recommendations concerning the
operations and activities of the Municipal Garden
and Arts Center and promote use of the facility.
Additional responsibilities included reviewing the
Center's rental rates, fundraising practices,
exhibition policies, and long-range capital
improvement programs. At the end of the first year,
the Council was to review the work of the Advisory
Committee to determine if the need for such a
committee to the Park and Recreation Board still
existed.
The Parks and Recreation staff wishes to expand the
opportunities for Lubbock citizens to experience and
benefit from art works in public places. It
recognizes the substantial economic benefits to be
gained from such art works in the form of increased
tourism and retail activity resulting from the
enhancement of the public places.
Rather than have two advisory committees responsible
for public art in and on municipal facilities, staff
recommended that there be one committee designated
for that purpose. The duties of the Lubbock
Municipal Arts Committee would be revised to include
the activities related to public art displays and
exhibition policies at the Garden and Arts Center,
eliminating the need for a separate Garden and Arts
Center Committee.
On November 24, 1992, the Park and Recreation Board
met and discussed reviving and reorganizing the
Lubbock Municipal Arts Committee. The Parks Board
unanimously agreed to endorse reestablishing LMAC.
The duties of the Municipal Garden and Arts Center
Advisory Committee could be consolidated into the
Lubbock Municipal Arts Committee and the Park and
Recreation Board, and MGAC would thus be eliminated.
The first step necessary in eliminating the Garden
and Arts Center Advisory Committee was to amend the
ordinance creating the board as an advisory
committee of the Park and Recreation Board. First
reading of the ordinance was passed during the
December 10, 1992 Council meeting. Second reading
was approved this date (Item #20 of these minutes).
The Park and Recreation Board will now assume the
responsibility for setting rental rates and
recommending capital improvements for the Garden and
Arts Center as they do with other park facilities.
December 17, 1992
Page 1082
This resolution is for reestablishment of the
Lubbock Municipal Arts Committee, with duties
including reviewing the exhibition policies of the
Lubbock Municipal Garden and Arts Center. The
revived Lubbock Municipal Arts Committee will be
composed of nine members appointed by Council who
will serve two year terms. Membership will be
composed of the following representation: Lubbock
Cultural Affairs Council (1); members from the art
community (i.e., artists, local art educators,
curators, gallery owners/operators, Fine Arts,
Garden and Arts, and others) (8).

CERTIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT
I, David R. Langston, do hereby certify that on the 17th day of
December, 1992, Steven Ellsworth, M.D., a physician licensed by the
Texas Board of Medical Examiners, was duly appointed the Health
Authority of Lubbock, Texas, for the term to begin on December 17, 1992

Rita Harmon, Assistant City Manager for Public
Safety and Services, presented the staff comments.
According to staff memo, Doug Goodman assumed the
administrative responsibilities of Health Director
in 1981. A local physician working part-time was
employed as Health Director/Health Authority to
comply with State law and to provide Mr. Goodman
with medical advice as needed. After employing
three consecutive physicians, it was determined that
a more permanent arrangement should be initiated
which would comply with State law and provide the
City with medical advice.
In January, 1983, the City of Lubbock entered into
an agreement with Texas Tech University Health
Sciences Center to staff the position of a part-time
Health Director/Health Authority. Last month, the
agreement with TTUHSC was amended to re -define the
duties and responsibilities of the physician
provided by Tech. After negotiations with Tech, a
new contract providing physicians to act as the City
Health Authority has been signed.
As part of that action, the Council is required to
appoint a Health Director, the non -physician
administrator of the Health Department, and a
part-time Health Authority, a physician who provides
medical advice and executes required state
functions. In 1989, Texas law was changed to allow
municipalities the right to choose the director of
the local health department based on the City's
needs. For the past 11 years, Doug Goodman has been
directing the operations of the Health Department,
with the physician providing medical advice.
December 17, 1992
Page 1084
Staff recommended that Council appoint Doug Goodman
as the Health Director of the City of Lubbock Health
Department. The Board of Health has been apprised
of this recommendation, and there is no opposition
to the appointment.

According to staff memo, Section 121.033 (d) of the
Texas Health and Safety Code requires that the
physician appointed by the Health Director as Health
Authority be approved by the City Council. After
discussions with Daryl M. Williams, M.D., Dean of
the School, of Medicine, and Tony Way, M.D.,
Chairman of the Preventive Medicine and Community
Health Department at Texas Tech University Health
Sciences Center, the Health Director recommended
appointing Cindy Ann Rogers, M.D., M.P.H., as the
Health Authority and Steven Robert Ellsworth, M.D.,
as her back-up. The two physicians have accepted
appointments subject to approval by the City
Council. Both physicians meet all the
qualifications of the Texas Health and Safety Code
and have signed the Oath of Office.
The Texas Health and Safety Code requires a
municipality to appoint a Health Director of a local
health unit. If the Director is not a physician,
then the Director will appoint a medical doctor
licensed in Texas to be the Health Authority. The
Health Authority is an advisor to the Health
Director and enforces all duties prescribed by the
Texas Board of Health. These duties are outlined in
the contract for Professional Services signed by
Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center and the
City of Lubbock on November 19, 1992. Under the
terms of the contract, Dr. Williams recommended Dr.
Rogers and Dr. Ellsworth. The Health Director is in
agreement and recommended that the City Council
approve the appointment of Dr. Rogers as the Health
Authority and Dr. Ellsworth as her back-up in the
event of her absence or incapacity.
