(4.) Dan Griffis. President of Civic Lubbock. Inc., appeared to present the 1994
95 Civic Lubbock, Inc.. Budget
The Agreement between the City of Lubbock and Civic Lubbock, Inc., provides
that Civic Lubbock, Inc., prepare and present to the City Council a budget for the
upcoming year. This budget is presented for information, input and direction from
the City Council.
The 1994-95 Civic Lubbock, Inc. budget shows combined revenues of $1,075,960
and direct expenses of $693,207. General operating expenses are estimated at
$64,405 for a total expense of $757,612. Direct expenses are expenditures
required to produce gross revenues from concessions and ticket sales, while
general operating expenses reflect the administrative expenses required for all
Civic Lubbock, Inc., operations.
The combined revenues reflect an estimated 8.7 percent increase over the 1993-94
Revised Budget. It is anticipated that there will be increases at all four operations,
with the most significant increases taking place at Select -a -Seat. The increases at
Select -a -Seat are attributed to the Civic Center's marketing campaign directed
toward high volume events. Direct expenses reflect a $1,682 or 0.2 percent
decrease and administrative operating expenses are anticipated to decrease 3.2
percent as compared to the current revised budget. These decreases are due to a
continuation of a streamlining of concession labor and a reduction of staff at both
the Select -a -Seat and accounting operations that began during the 1993-94 fiscal
year.
The amount estimated to be paid to the City is $150,820, representing a 4 percent
increase over the revised budget. An additional amount of $6,311 will be paid to
the Parks and Recreation Department. These figures represent commissions from
the Civic Center, Auditorium -Coliseum and Meadowbrook Golf course concession
operations. This budget also includes $5,700 in capital expenditures.

not previously funded.
Allocation for Art and Beautification totals $8,375, with an additional $5,000
Reserve for a total of $13,375.

community through the sponsorships or co -sponsorships of educational and

years, the Booking budget has expended over $416,600 for the general moral,
intellectual and physical improvement and welfare of the people of the City of
Lubbock and the surrounding area.

A copy of the Assignment of Cattle Grazing Contract in which Seedco Corporation
assigns a Cattle Grazing Contract to F. Slash Company is filed with Resolution No. 4554.
Seedco Corporation, the current holder of the cattle grazing contract at the Land
Application Site has chosen to opt out of its contract. Seedco Corporation
terminated the contract on July 23, 1994. F. Slash Company, a cattle operation,
has agreed to be the assignee of this lease which provides for payment of $14.20
per head per month. The farm manager estimates a loss of $40,000 in revenue if
this contract is not assigned. The current contract provides for assignment, subject
to approval by the City of Lubbock. The assignee would be bound by provisions
of the original contract, including the term of the contract, which runs to May
1996. The assignee is a reputable company with whom the Land Application Site
has done business in the past.
In view of the depressed cattle market and the potential loss of revenue if this
contract is not assigned, the staff recommends approval of this item.

A Professional Services Agreement for Investigation of Portland Cement Concrete Coarse
Aggregate Performance is filed with Resolution No. 4555.
Larry Hertel, City Engineer, presented staff comments. The Department of
Engineering Technology at Texas Tech was approached about performing an
investigation of the local aggregate versus non -local aggregate for concrete
pavement. The purpose of the analysis is to determine if the City's current
specifications for high strength concrete pavement on thoroughfares can be
changed. Current specifications require 95 percent crushed faces for the coarse
JULY 28, 1994
Page 438
aggregate in thoroughfare concrete pavement. Local aggregates cannot meet this
crushed face requirement. Most aggregates used for this concrete are shipped in
by rail from Brownwood or New Mexico.
The result of this proposed analysis will indicate if there is a significant change in
the strength and durability of high strength concrete pavement if the specifications
are changed to allow the local aggregates. If it is determined that the
specifications can be changed, without significant reduction in quality, the benefit
to the City should be a reduction in cost of up to $8.00 per cubic yard for concrete
on thoroughfares. The current price of concrete is about $55 per cubic yard. Four
different sources of aggregate will be analyzed. Two non -local aggregates which
currently meet specifications and two local West Texas aggregates that cannot
meet the crushed face requirement.
The agreement directs the City to pay $9,000 to Texas Tech for their work on this
project. The $9,000 for this project was included in the 93-94 revised budget.
The project will be completed by January 15, 1995.
Staff recommended approval of this resolution and agreement with Texas Tech.

JULY 28, 1994
Page 440
Larry Hertel, City Engineer, presented staff comments. The City Council has
authorized the staff to prepare a contract for the excavation of several playa lakes
throughout the City. This excavation would result in additional holding capacity
and increased safety in the lakes. Since these lakes have been identified as "waters
of the United States," the staff has requested permission from the US Army Corps
of Engineers (ACOE) to perform such excavation. The ACOE has indicated that
they need contour maps and cross sections of the existing configuration of the lake
bottoms before a final decision can be made. In addition to this, the staff needs
information on the physical and chemical composition of the sediments deposited
at the bottom of the lakes to decide on the disposal methods for these sediments.
The staff approached the Environmental Science Laboratory (ESC) at TTU about
performing both the survey and mapping of the underwater portion of the playa
lakes and collecting and analyzing composite samples of the bottom of each of the
playa lakes that are surveyed. The total cost to perform these services in eleven
(11) playa lakes would be $12,061. Funding for this project would come from the
Stormwater Utility Fund for the current fiscal year. The services provided for in
this contract will be performed in about 4-1/2 months.
Staff recommended approval of this resolution and agreement with Texas Tech.

consistent with both Comprehensive Land Use and zoning policy. The
recommendation from the Commission reflected in the proposed ordinance is GO
(Garden Office) rather than the C-3 requested.

An Agreement for the Installation and Reimbursement for the Operation and Maintenance
of Traffic Signals Within a Municipality between the Texas Department of Transportation
and the City of Lubbock is filed with Resolution No. 4559.
Jere Hart, City Traffic Engineer, presented staff comments. The Texas Department
of Transportation (TxDOT) has begun to take over the maintenance of the traffic
signals along their controlled access facilities across the state. However, in the
interest of better service to the motoring public, some local agencies have retained
the maintenance responsibilities by contracting with TxDOT at set cost for
performing the maintenance. TxDOT will reimburse the City $44,702 per year for
the work. The City has been maintaining 10 out of the total 23 traffic signal
locations in the agreement without any reimbursement from TxDOT.
This agreement is for one year with an automatic annual renewal. Modifications
may be made annually upon mutual agreement of both the City and the State. This
JULY 28, 1994
Page 446
agreement becomes effective when fully executed by the City and the State. The
current year's revised budget and next year's proposed budget contain the funds
necessary to perform this additional signal maintenance. The City will assume all
liability for maintenance activities; the State would still be liable for design and
construction.
Staff recommended approval of this resolution and the agreement so that the City
can be reimbursed for maintenance of the TxDOT traffic signals.

A Purchase Agreement between Furr'sBishop's, Inc. and the City of Lubbock is filed
with Resolution No. 4561.
Carolyn Aliamus, Director of Culture and Leisure Services, presented staff
comments. The City of Lubbock has been offered the opportunity to purchase
Buddy Holly memorabilia, consisting of 25 lots which represents over 100 items
from Furr'sBishop's Inc. Purchase of these items would by the City of Lubbock
would help to preserve and protect in Lubbock, Texas, these items unique to
Buddy Holly's life and musical career. The purchase price is $175,000.
The City believes that having the Buddy Holly memorabilia as a display attraction
for visitors to the City of Lubbock will enhance both the City's position with
regard to tourist and convention activities as well as the image and memory of
Buddy Holly. On July 19, 1994, the Hotel/Motel Tax Review Committee
unanimously endorsed the purchase of the Buddy Holly collection, using
Hotel/Motel Tax funds, to underwrite the effort.

A letter detailing the Professional Services Agreement for Lubbock Multi -Purpose Arena
Site Analysis is filed with Resolution No. 4562.
Jim Bertram, Director of Strategic Planning, presented staff comments. At the July
14, 1994 City Council work session, staff made a presentation regarding the site
analysis of each of the proposed sites for the construction of a multipurpose arena.
This analysis included the cost, residential and business relocation impacts, and the
advantages and disadvantages of each of the sites. There was also a general
overview of the existing coliseum and the proposed new arena. This review
included seating capacities, number and type of events held in these facilities,
amenities, and the operations and maintenance cost. Staff also covered a list of
key issues regarding both facilities.
Subsequent discussions among City Council members resulted in the request to
gather further site specific information and the possible impact a new arena would
have on the present Civic Center. In order to accomplish this request, staff
proposed that the City of Lubbock enter into a contract with HKS, Inc., to
conduct a study which would address the following issues.
* A site analysis of all seven proposed arena sites in relation to the
Civic Center. This study would show specifically the functional
relationship between the site/arena and investigate the relationship
to adjacent sites or buildings.
* A specific analysis of the Civic Center District site to demonstrate
whether or not the area facility would work on the seven -acre tract.
The cost of the site analysis will be approximately $20,000. Based on a
preliminary proposal, the economic impact study which would show the
opportunity for creating new restaurant visits and hotel nights which translates to
a new tax base, done on one or two peripheral sites in addition to the Civic Center
JULY 28, 1994
Page 450
site, would cost $10,000. The $20,000 estimate is based on pulling selected
activities presented from a two-phase recommendation by HKS, Inc.
Staff proposed entering into a contract outside the normal RFP process due to a
short time frame which includes City Council's plans to hold a public hearing in
August or September of this year. The time frame for the site analysis is
approximately 4-6 weeks.
HKS, Inc. is an Architectural/Engineering firm in Dallas which includes a
specialized sports facility section within their firm. This section is presently doing
similar site analysis research for the City of Dallas and other cities worldwide.
Staff proposes contracting with HKS, Inc., due not only to their experience in this
area, but also due to their recent visit to Lubbock. During this visit, Bryan Trubey,
AIA, Vice President and Director of the Sports Facilities Group, reviewed the
proposed multipurpose arena sites and the process the City of Lubbock staff used
to conduct an in-house site analysis. Mr. Trubey advised staff on what factors
HKS, Inc. uses to conduct a site analysis. Mr. Trubey also provided the city with
an economic impact rating on each of the sites. These factors, along with Mr.
Trubey's recent familiarity with the arena issue, make'him sufficiently qualified to
conduct this analysis.
Since the interest in the new multipurpose arena is very high and the City Council
would like to receive as much input as possible which would assist them in
informing the public and making the proper decision regarding the new facility,
staff recommended approval of a contract with HKS, Inc., to complete a site
analysis study.

Supplemental Agreement No. 3 to the Agreement Dated October 8, 1992 Between City of
Lubbock and HDR Engineering for Professional Engineering Services for the Landfill Site
Selection and Permitting Project is filed with Resolution No. 4563.
Lee Ramirez, Solid Waste Superintendent, presented staff comments. On October
8, 1992, Council authorized the Mayor to execute an agreement between the City
of Lubbock and HDR Engineering, Inc., for engineering services for Landfill site
selection and permitting. Under this agreement the maximum billed for the
Engineer's personnel and subcontractor services was estimated at $85,000. In
addition, Engineer's and subcontractor's reimbursable expenses were estimated to
be $30,000. The total maximum to be billed for the site selection phase was
estimated at $115,000.
As part of the permit application process, HDR and the City of Lubbock are
required to submit a Soil Boring and Piezometer Plan to the Texas Natural
Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC). In March 1994, HDR submitted
its recommendations to the TNRCC regarding the number of borings necessary to
describe the geologic and geohydrologic conditions at the proposed landfill site. It
was HDR's recommendation that a total of fifty (50) borings would be sufficient
for this project.
TNRCC reviewed the plan submitted by HDR and determined that the total
number of borings outlined in the plan was insufficient. TNRCC's evaluation and
response increased the required number of total borings to 80. In addition, they
increased boring depths significantly, increased the sampling frequency in the
upper portions of the borings, and increased the number of piezometers.
The boring plan approved by TNRCC significantly increased the cost for the soil
and groundwater investigation over what was originally proposed. While it is still
HDR's opinion that the original boring and piezometer plan was sufficient to
adequately characterize the soil and groundwater conditions, TNRCC was not
willing to approve that plan.
A recommendation to authorize the Mayor to sign Supplemental Agreement No. 3
with HDR Engineering modifying a portion of the contract to reflect the increased
funds ($196,000) needed for the additional borings and piezometers was presented
to Council for consideration on June 9, 1994. The recommendation was not
approved by Council, and Council instructed staff to do the following:
Meet with the Lubbock delegation (State Senator and
Representatives) and discuss ways to reduce the required number of
borings and piezometers.
Request the HDR review their drilling proposal and determine if
there are any savings that could be effected through the selection of
a different driller.
Two meetings were conducted with the Lubbock delegation. In the first meeting
on June 15, 1994, a briefing was conducted for State Representatives Delwin
Jones and Bob Duncan. In this first meeting it was stressed that the HDR proposal
of 50 borings, twelve of which would be piezometers, is technically correct, but
that the TNRCC is unwilling to accept it.
JULY 28, 1994
Page 452
During the second meeting with the Lubbock delegation, July 11, 1994, Senator
Montford and State Representative Delwin Jones were present. During this
meeting it was agreed that the Lubbock delegation would recommend that the city
submit to the TNRCC a negotiated boring and piezometer plan for the new
proposed landfill. In the negotiated soil boring and piezometer plan, the number of
piezometers would be reduced by five and the number of borings would be
reduced by approximately thirteen. The number of borings would be reduced as a
result of the City of Lubbock agreeing to reduce the permitted acres by some 200
acres. This acreage reduction does not reduce the number of cells nor does it
reduce the size of the cells where trash will be placed. In order to reduce the
permitted acreage requirement of this negotiated boring and piezometer plan and
still maintain significant buffer zones, the 500 to 700 foot buffer zones would not
be in the permitted area.
The negotiated boring and piezometer plan was initially discussed and formulated
by Bill Hindman, HDR; Ron Bond, TNRCC Division Director; and Mary Adrian,
Permits Section Chief, TNRCC. The net effect of this negotiated boring and
piezometer plan is that it will reduce the increased costs of the boring and
piezometer plan by $46,000.
HDR also reviewed the drilling costs associated with their consultant, Hi Plains
Drilling, Abernathy, Texas. All costs have been found to be acceptable and are
actually less than other drillers.
Staff recommended that Council authorize the Mayor to sign Supplemental
Agreement No. 3 with HDR Engineering modifying the portion of the contract to
reflect the increased funds needed for the additional soil borings.

Lubbock Downs representative Jean Arnett and Lubbock Downs financial advisor
Richard Ehland presented Lubbock Downs' request for extension of Resolution
#4372. On January 27, 1994, the City Council passed a resolution agreeing to a
limited relationship with Lubbock Downs, Inc., to develop a race track in Slaton,
Texas. The agreement contemplated a "name only" participation even though
there were several actual contracts and exchanges of consideration including the
donation of property to the City of Lubbock and the proposition that the City of
Lubbock would, in fact, receive some revenues from the project. It was clear that
the City of Lubbock would have no financial obligation.
The City's bond attorney, Mr. Mark Westergard, with Fulbright and Jaworski, as
well as John Ross, City Attorney, have reviewed preliminary documents relating to
the overall financing arrangement which departed significantly and materially from
the resolution that the City Council passed.
Mr. Ehland explained the risks that would be included then further explained what
he considered to be layers of protection that would be in place to minimize the
City's financial liability.
Mr. Westergard provided a legal analysis of the risks associated with the financing
documents that were delivered to him by Mr. Ehland on July 15, 1994. He said
there is no question that the license cannot be assigned to the City of Lubbock
without state statute and rules of the Racing Commission being changed. He
explained that in order for the license to revert to the City in case of default by
Lubbock Downs, Inc., each council member would have to become a licensee of a
race track. Furthermore, the City would have to own the land before the land
could revert to the City. He stressed that the original document indicated that the
credit of the City of Lubbock was not to be pledged or placed behind the race
track project and that no securities were to be offered using the corporate name of
the City of Lubbock. It was Mr. Westergard's legal opinion that the material
conditions specified in Resolution #4372 have not been satisfied by Lubbock
Downs, Inc. Further, the resolution expired on July 27, 1994.
Mr. Westergard outlined four options for City Council:
1) Do nothing and let Resolution #4372 lapse.
2) Extend Resolution #4372 as is.
3) Declare Resolution #4372 lapsed and adopt a new resolution.
4) Adopt a new resolution offering the credit of the City of Lubbock
behind the project.
Motion was made by Mayor Pro Tern Neugebauer, seconded by Councilmember
Cooke to authorize extension of Resolution #4372 for a period of 90 days in order
to give Ms. Arnett an opportunity to restructure the financing agreement in
keeping with the original resolution. Motion carried: 6 Yeas; 0 Nays.
