According to staff memo, the City of Lubbock utilizes over
300,000 minutes of long distance telephone services per year.
Proposals were received from five long distance service providers
in response to the City's request for proposals.
The proposals were evaluated on the following criteria:
Reliability (25 percent)
Pricing (25 percent)
Billing (10 percent)
Service (25 percent)
Compliance with the RFP (15 percent)
Based on the weighted averages, a successful vendor was selected.
A three-year agreement with AT&T will provide a rate of $.0946
per minute. The second rated respondent proposed a combination
of rates ranging from $.08 to $.149 per minute. No installation
charges or start up costs are required.
The top -rated response from AT&T is recommended as being the
most advantageous proposal to the City of Lubbock. The City of
Lubbock will recognize an estimated savings in excess of $20,000
per year in long distance telephone service costs with this

A copy of the Agreement with Jetbridge Technology, Inc., is filed with Resolution No.
4726.
According to staff memo, discussion about an outside firm to
perform preventive maintenance on jetbridges began in 1992-1993.
City staff took bids on an extensive package that included a
complete maintenance and repair function. The return bids were
unacceptable not only to the City staff but also to the airlines. All
bids were rejected and the issue remained idle until negotiations
began in the summer 1994. As a result of subsequent negotiations,
it was agreed that the staff would scale down the maintenance
menu to something manageable that could be kept below minimum
bid requirements. All of the carriers agreed that Jetbridge
Technology, Inc., of Kennedale, Texas, would be the best vendor
to perform the services.
The total amount of the agreement is $11,200.00. The airline
agreement establishes a use fee of $7.00 per use for funding a
jetbridge maintenance fund from which to pay for preventive
maintenance and repairs. Current airline jetbridge use will
generate approximately $50,000 annually in use fees under that
agreement.
Staff recommended approval of this agreement.

A copy of the Lease Agreement is filed with Resolution No. 4727.
According to staff memo, the Weather Service lease expired in
October 1994. Their leasing agent has accepted new terms
proposed by the staff to accommodate some operational changes at
their facility. The agency relocated about two-thirds of their staff
to the previous BCD office building on South Loop 289 in June of
last year. That move vacated about one-third of the space they had
previously occupied at the airport which signaled some
adjustments to be made in rates and conditions in the new lease.
The National Weather Service has agreed to the increased the rent
rate from $2.72 per square foot to $4.00 per square foot. Likewise.
staff agreed to adjust the direct billing for electrical service by
$293.06 each month to compensate for the 1,256 square feet of
vacated office space. The National Weather Service also agreed to
include an annual adjustment of operating costs on the basis of
$0.08 per square foot per year. Other conditions include paint and
an interior locking door.

A copy of the Agreement with West Texas Microwave Company is filed with Resolution
No. 4731.
According to staff memo, West Texas Microwave, a
telecommunications company, wishes to install fiber optic aerial
cables from an existing MCI site located near 54th Street and
Avenue A to Metro Tower at Broadway and Avenue M. West
Texas Microwave does not do business directly with individual
telephone customers, but rather provides interconnection services
between various telephone companies or various long distance
companies. These fiber optic cables will be installed along public
streets and alleys and will be attached to utility poles owned by
various utilities, including Lubbock Power and Light. West Texas
Microwave currently has a Street Use License to cover existing
buried fiber optic cables which they have installed in other areas of
the city. This existing Street Use License will be amended to cover
the proposed aerial cable installation.
The pole rental agreement establishes rates and conditions under
which West Texas Microwave may attach cables to LP&L electric
poles. The initial rental rate is $4.19 per pole with escalation
clauses tied to economic indices (CPI). This installation will
involve approximately 100 LP&L poles. LP&L currently has pole
rental agreements with a number of other communication
companies, including Cox Cable, PokaLambro, and NTS
Communications.
Staff recommended approval of this resolution.

A copy of the Agreement is filed with Resolution No. 4732.
According to staff memo, the Texas Natural Resources
Commission (TNRCC) has simplified the permit process for
obtaining permission to use treated wastewater effluent for
irrigation purposes. One of the farmers adjacent to the Land
Application Site applied for and received a TNRCC permit and
negotiated an agreement with City staff to purchase treated effluent
from the City of Lubbock. The agreement called for the farmer to
pay the City the rate of $9.00 per acre for each watering
application. The amount of land involved in this initial agreement
is 86 acres.
The proposed resolution would authorize the City Manager or his
designated representative to execute these types of agreements with
interested farmers in the area of the Land Application Site. It
would also serve to formally approve the terms and provisions of
prior agreements. The agreements provide that the City will
furnish water requested by the user, but subject to any and all prior
commitments to furnish water to other users. The availability of
water will be determined solely by the City. The user will also

Page 89
agree to use and dispose of all wastewater furnished in accordance
with all terms of the City's wastewater permit, as well as all
applicable regulations of the TNRCC, the state of Texas, and the
United States government. The users would also have to abide by
their own TNRCC permit requirements. It is anticipated that these
agreements would be negotiated for two-year periods, but would
give both parties a 30-day termination option. All the costs
associated with sending water to the other farm locations would be
paid by the users.
Staff recommended approval of this resolution.

Industrial Services of Deer Park, Texas, for the cleaning of Holly Plant Boilers No. 1 and
No. 2; and
WHEREAS, LP&L estimated the cost of cleaning on prior experience on Holly
Boiler No. 1 and on a sample core cut out of Holly Boiler No. 2 which was analyzed for
scale buildup; and
WHEREAS, the actual materials (acid) required to clean the boilers exceeded the
amount estimated by approximately 300 percent, despite the prior experience and despite
core sample analysis; and
WHEREAS, due to the near proximity of summer peak load requirements creating
an emergency situation, since it was critical that both boilers be available to prevent
power outages that could result in dangers to the health and safety of the citizens of the
City of Lubbock, including failure of traffic signals, critical health care equipment and air
conditioning; and
WHEREAS, such repairs were necessitated by an unforeseen damage to City
equipment due to the unanticipated amount of scale build up in said boilers; and
WHEREAS, since time was of the essence, such repairs were made as an
emergency measure and the project was not rebid as is ordinarily required for change
orders exceeding 25 per cent of the original contract price; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Lubbock hereby authorizes, approves
and ratifies the attached Change Order No. 1 to Bid No. 12844 by DIS Industrial
Services as an emergency measure; NOW THEREFORE:

(29.) Zone Case No. 1721-B (5211 29th Street and 5212 30th Street) --
Hold a puhlic hearing to consider appeal of Lloyd Headrick for
a zoning change from R-1 to GO Specific Use and R-1 Specific
Use on the west 70 feet of Lot 203 and the west 70 feet of Lot
202, Midway Park Addition, and consider ordinance.
Mayor Langston opened the public hearing at 10:55 a.m.
Lloyd Headrick appeared to present this request for zone change
from R-1 to GO Specific Use.
Don Byers, Billy M. Scarbrough, Jean Hildreth, and Gary Bennett
appeared in opposition to the zone change. Mayor Langston closed
the hearing at 11:23 a.m.
Randy Henson, Senior Planner, presented staff comments. Mr.
Headrick presented a somewhat unique proposal for development
of two lots that are back-to-back between 29th and 30th Streets,
with no alley. His proposal is to develop an office for his real
estate business and his wife's accounting business on the 29th
Street lot and to build his home on the lot on 30th Street. Mr.
Henson gave the adjacent land uses as follows:
North - 29th Street and single family
South - single family
r- East - duplex zoning and construction
West - single family
t
City Council Minutes
February 9, 1995
Page 100
Since Garden Office is described in the Zoning Code as a buffer
district, the same as R-2 "duplex," the proposal on 29th Street
would be to extend the buffer one more lot west. Testimony by the
owner of the duplex on the east and the son of an elderly resident
north of 29th Street indicated their opposition. Based on their
comments and several letters of opposition, the Planning
Commission denied the request. Mr. Headrick has exercised his
option to appeal to the City Council. A 6/7 vote would be required
to overturn the Planning Commission denial.
The request is filed as Specific Use to accommodate a change for
two setback guidelines that R-1 and GO require:
A 23-foot front setback from 29th Street for the office
versus the required 25 feet in GO.
A reduced rear setback to 8 feet for the residential unit on
30th Street.
Unless the proponent is able to change the opinion of those persons
most affected (the duplex owner, the home owner just west, and
the residents across 29th), the staff recommended upholding the
denial of the Planning Commission.
The Planning Commission denied the request and staff supported
the denial of the Planning and Zoning Commission, unless the
adjacent owners change their position.
Motion was made by Mayor Pro Tem Neugebauer, seconded by
Councilmember Ince to uphold the Planning and Zoning
Commission's recommendation to deny this request. Motion
carried: 7 Yeas; 0 Nays.

WHEREAS, the City of Lubbock, Texas, has requested the Texas Department of
Transportation to add 82nd Street from Slide Road (F.M. 1730) to U.S. Highway 62/82 to
the State Highway System and to reconstruct and widen 82nd Street from Frankford
Avenue to U.S. Highway 62/82 with funds provided for by the Intermodal Surface
Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA); and
WHEREAS, the above request by the City is consistent with the Lubbock
Metropolitan Transportation Plan: 2015; NOW THEREFORE:
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LUBBOCK:
SECTION 1. THAT the City of Lubbock hereby reiterates its request that the
Texas Department of Transportation add 82nd Street from Slide Road (F.M. 1730) to
U.S. Highway 62/82 to the State Highway System and agrees to provide $313,000 in
matching funds for reconstructing and widening 82nd Street from Frankford Avenue to

Larry Hoffinan, Director of Transportation, presented staff
comments. At the past few meetings of the Policy Advisory
Committee, discussions pertaining to the necessity of widening
82nd Street from Frankford Avenue to U.S. 62/82 took place.
Staff has developed a petition for the City of Lubbock in
cooperation with Lubbock County, Senator John Montford's
Office, Frenship Independent School District, the City of
Wolfforth and the Lubbock Chamber of Commerce, to make an
appearance before the Texas Transportation Commission on March
30, 1995, requesting Commission Strategic Priority Funds to
construct 82nd Street from Frankford Avenue to U.S. 62/82 as a
seven -lane facility. If Commission Strategic Priority Funds are
approved for this project, there will be no funding delays on those
City projects currently approved in the Transportation
Improvement Program with federal funds. A second request to the
Commission is to ask that TxDOT add 82nd Street from Slide
Road (F.M. 1730) to U.S. 62/82 to the State highway system.
Approximately one mile (Frankford Avenue to 660 feet west of
Milwaukee Avenue) of this proposed construction lies within the
city limits; the remaining distance belongs to Lubbock County.
The Committee, in hopes of a favorable vote by the Transportation
Commission, agreed that the local jurisdictions should offer some
matching funds for the construction of the project.
Staff proposed that the City's portion of the match come from the
capital bond funds for "Local Match for Federal Funds." Funds in
the amount of $750,000 are available from this source.
To further enhance the chance of receiving the federal funds, the
City agreed to continue maintenance on the one -mile portion of the
roadway between Slide Road and Frankford Avenue, if added to
the state highway system.

A copy of the Flood and Restrictive Easements is filed with Resolution No. 4739.
Ed Bucy, Right -of -Way Agent, presented staff comments. This
70.1324 acres of land needed for a flood and restrictive easement at
Lake Alan Henry is located adjacent to the town of Justiceburg and
is made up of four tracts of land and seven platted lots in the East
Justiceburg Addition. The four tracts of easement land are as
follows: Tract 1 - 54.40 acres; Tract 2 - 15.10 acres; Tract 3 - 0.02
acres; and Tract 4 - 0.05 acres. The seven platted lots in the East
Justiceburg Addition are as follows: Lots 10, 11, and 12, Block 3,
containing 0.2410 acres and Lots 1, 2, 9, and 10, Block 2,
containing 0.3214 acres. Since 1987, the City has been paying
$100 per acre for flood and restrictive easement land ($100 per
acre x 70.1324 acres = $7,013.24). This easement will protect the
City of Lubbock if Lake Alan Henry reaches flood elevation due to
excess rain fall. The minerals have been subordinated under this

A copy of the Contract with Williams- Stackhouse Incorporated is filed with Resolution
No. 4741.
Larry Hertel, City Engineer, and Blas Gomez, Senior Civil
Engineer, presented staff comments. The City Council authorized
preparation of aerial photography and contour maps as part of the
FY 94-95 Capital Projects Budget. This project includes 1)
preparation of a new aerial mosaic of the City and portions of the
City's Extra Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ); 2) creation of 342
rectified aerial photographs at a 1"=200' scale; and 3) contour
mapping of 34 square miles of the City's ETJ.
The City of Lubbock Purchasing Department issued Requests for
Proposals (RFP) with the deadline for response set for December
15, 1994. A review committee recommended Williams-
Stackhouse Incorporated (WSI) to provide the requested
photogrammetric services.
After multiple discussions and negotiations with WSI, a final
contract amount of $187,625 and a completion time of 200
calendar days were agreed upon. This project was allocated
$210,000 in the FY 94-95 Storm Water Capital Projects Budget.
Staff recommended approval of this resolution.

Terry Ellerbrook, Director of Water Utilities, and John Williams,
CRMWA General Manager, presented comments. This resolution
was considered during the January 26, 1995, City Council meeting.
It was the consensus of the Council at that time to continue the
item.
The total cost of the project is estimated to be $76,500,000, of
which Lubbock's share would be about $28,800,000, based on
Lubbock's share of water from the reservoir. If Lubbock joins in
this project, it is estimated that a water rate increase of 15 percent
would be required. This project would serve to postpone the need
for water from Lake Alan Henry to meet Lubbock's future water
supply needs. The current estimate of the cost of bringing Lake
Alan Henry on line is $142,000,000.
During the January 26 meeting, a member of the City Council
stated that a citizen had advised that another study of water rights
in the North Panhandle had been done in 1983 and that a report on
this study had been prepared by the Bureau of Economic Geology.
After discussing this matter, the Council decided it would like the
CRMWA to review this prior study and report back to Council
before making a final decision on the current ground water project.
Mr. John Williams, CRMWA General Manager, was asked to
research the matter of the prior study by the Bureau of Economic
Geology and to present this information to the City Council.
However, the Bureau of Economic Geology was unable to
complete the research prior to the February 9 Council meeting.
A ground water blending project, as proposed, would serve to
improve the quality and quantity of water available to Lubbock,
conserve the water in Lubbock's Bailey county well field, and
serve to postpone the time that water from Lake Alan Henry would

be needed to meet Lubbock's water supply needs. Staff

Mark Hindman, Director of Support Services, presented staff
comments. The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the
fiscal year 1993-94 revealed General Fund revenues exceeded
expenditures by $2,361,547. The staff recommended funding
several projects with the year end surplus. Over the past two years,
staff has used surplus funds at the year end to fund major projects
which would most likely impact future budgets or require the
issuance of debt. Following are the recommendations, along with
a brief summary of the rationale.
112
City Council Minutes
February 9, 1995
Page 113
Bus Replacement $132,000
The Citibus fleet is the oldest such fleet in the State of
Texas. Staff has been concerned about replacement for a
number of years, but has been actively pursuing both
Federal and State assistance. Citibus recently received a
substantial amount of assistance from the Federal
Government and have subsequently been working with the
State. At its meeting on January 26, Commissioners from
the Texas Department of Transportation approved a Minute
Order granting additional funds to the City of Lubbock.
This puts us in a position to replace the entire Citibus fleet
with only $132,000 in local tax funds.
Police Department Vehicles $151,560
While staff is concerned with the entire spectrum of police
services, our primary concern is with our patrol operations.
Our current projections indicate that by next fiscal year
staff will need to add additional personnel in order to keep
up with existing demands for service. Staff has been
notified by the Federal Government that the City will
receive a grant which will enable us to hire eight additional
patrol personnel in our next rookie class. The grant,
however, will not fund capital items associated with these
personnel (vehicles, etc.). Staff recommends that funds be
set aside in order to adequately equip these personnel.
Underground Storage Tank Remediation $550,000
Like other underground storage tank owners, the City is
required by Federal Law to take appropriate remediation
steps in the event that leakages occur. Due to the age of
many of our tanks, we are experiencing a number of leaks
and are now seeing the need to take appropriate
remediation actions. The General Fund portion of the
remediation will be approximately $550,000.
Street Seal Coating $800,000
During last year's budget reviews, both Council and staff
continued to express concern about our ability to maintain
the infrastructure in our streets, parks, and public facilities.
On an annual basis, staff budgeted $600,000 per year in the
Permanent Street Maintenance Fund. That amount is
expended in its entirety for seal coating purposes.
Unfortunately, that amount in no way meets our annual
need for seal coating. This year staff is recommending that
an additional $800,000 be included.
Parks Capital Projects $150,000
While the recommended monies would not enable us to
enhance our operating efforts, it would enable us to add
additional funds for the upgrade of our parks infrastructure.
These funds are used for improvements to irrigation
systems, playgrounds, equipment, etc.
113
City Council Minutes
February 9, 1995
Page114
General Fund PCMF $575,000
During this year's budget, staff discussed the need to do a
better job with regard to maintaining our facilities. These
funds are used for the replacement of HVAC systems,
roofs, etc. Staff also anticipates that repairs to the
Municipal Coliseum will be more costly than projected.
These funds would be the logical source to supplement the
existing bond funds.
Approval of these projects would leave a projected fund balance in
the General Fund, which is approximately $210,000 above our
two- month operating reserve. Designation of these funds for the
projects listed above will still leave an adequate
undesignated/unreserved balance in the General Fund. Staff
recommended approval of this item.
