A copy of the application is filed with Resolution No. 4838.
Approval of this grant is needed to continue Citibus' current level
of operations for fiscal year 1996. Assistance with technical
studies and capital assistance for fiscal year 1996 is also included
in this grant.
The capital portion of the grant ($1,025,000) is 80 percent federally
funded ($820,000) and 20 percent locally funded ($205,000). The --
main portion of the capital funding will be used for five
replacement vans and spare parts associated with capital
maintenance items. Capital maintenance is a change in the Federal
Transit Administration regulations, allowing parts costing 1/2 of 1
percent of the market value of the bus to be funded at 20 percent
instead of 50 percent of the City share, thus reducing City cost.
Other items include an operations support vehicle, a new air
conditioning system for the facility at 801 Texas Avenue, and
operations equipment.

The contract with Texas Tech University (TTU) for campus transit
services is for a one-year period beginning September 1, 1995, and
ending on August 31, 1996. Contract cost per hour will be $31.45
for each bus, with fuel cost adjustment above or below $1.05 per
gallon. The price of $31.45 per hour covers the full cost recovery
for the City of Lubbock. Citibus has had a contract with TTU
since 1968, with the fuel cost adjustment being added to the
contract in 1981. In accordance with the TTU contract, Citibus
does not collect fares from TTU campus passengers.
The City of Lubbock receives an equal amount from the Federal
Transit Administration for each dollar collected from TTU. The
additional funds are used to pay for system expenses which
otherwise would have to be paid by the City. Citibus anticipates
receiving $462,025 from TTU in FY 96.
The TTU Board of Regents will consider approval of the contract
at their meeting in June 1995. The TTU Board of Regents has

The City of Lubbock has participated in the Summer Food
Program for the last four years. The program has been very
successful. A daily average of 800 meals was served to children,

reimbursed all the direct costs (meal service personnel, sack
lunches, and consumable supplies) and the indirect costs (supplies
and some administrative personnel expenses.) With the success of
the last five years of the Summer Food Program for Children and a
continuing trend toward more basic human services within the

A copy of the Lease Agreement/Assignment by and between the City of Lubbock and
Texas Tech University is filed with Resolution No. 4846.
In January 1962 the City of Lubbock entered into a sewage effluent
contract with Texas Tech University (TTU). The contract provided
that TTU would receive all treated effluent from the new
Northwest Water Reclamation Plant for irrigation purposes on its
farm land. TTU was obligated to construct a reservoir and all
lines, pumps, valves, and related equipment necessary to transfer
the effluent from the new wastewater treatment plant to the farm
land on TTU property. The contract further provided that TTU
would pay the electrical costs associated with the pumps and
would be responsible for the cost of maintaining the pumps and
pipeline.
The term of the original agreement was twenty years, effective
from the date that the treated effluent was first delivered to TTU.
In order to allow a sufficient amount of time for TTU to amortize
its investment, the contract included an option for an additional ten
years. The contract provided further that TTU could terminate the
agreement by providing a 12-month written notice; the City did not
have a termination option. On January 22, 1981, the City Council
367
City Council Meeting
May 25, 1995
Page 368
approved a resolution to recognize and accept TTU's request to
exercise its option to extend the contract by ten years. In June
1983, the City Council approved a request by TTU to extend the
contract an additional ten years, thus raising the term of the
contract to a total of forty years.
In the late 1980s, it became apparent that the Northwest Water
Reclamation Plant would have to undergo a complete renovation.
The 1990-91 Capital Budget included $50,000 for engineering, and
an additional $800,000 was approved in the 1991-92 budget for
construction. The project was subsequently put on hold, pending a
reevaluation of the facility and contract with TTU, including the
possibility of abandoning the plant. TTU officials advised that
TTU still needed water for their farm and indicated that they
expected the City to continue to meet its contractual obligations.
The idea of substituting well water for treated effluent was later
advanced and accepted by TTU.
The continued operation of the Northwest Plant is not cost
effective. In addition to the $800,000 required for renovation, the
operating expenses approximate $85,000 per year for the treatment
of an average of 300,000 gallons per day. Treatment costs at the
Northwest Plant are approximately 50 percent higher than
treatment costs per gallon at the Southeast Plant.
On February 10, 1995, the Texas Tech Board of Regents
authorized the University President to enter into a lease agreement
with the City of Lubbock to lease water wells for irrigation
purposes. The proposed 20-year lease agreement with TTU
provides for a 10-year option, with the mutual consent of both
parties, and also allows TTU the option of terminating the
agreement with a 60-day written notice. The contract contains
essentially the same provisions as the current contract for operating
and maintenance costs. TTU would be responsible for all
operating and repair costs of the wells and associated piping. TTU
would also be required to maintain compliance with all applicable
regulatory agencies during the term of the lease and to use the non -
potable water on TTU property only.
Two of the three wells involved are located on land purchased by
the State of Texas, but the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department
has authorized the City to assign the operation and right of access
to these wells to TTU. Therefore, the use of these two wells would
be assigned to TTU. The third well would be leased. These three
wells have not been used as potable water sources for several
years. The City would be required to initially bring these three
wells involved into good operating condition and to provide for the
construction to tie in these three wells into the existing TTU
transmission line. The estimated cost of this work is $27,000. In
addition, the City would need to perform some demolition work on the wastewater treatment plant at an estimated cost of $40,000.
The staff proposes to charge these costs to the existing capital
project established to renovate the plant. Following these initial
costs, the City of Lubbock would have no further financial
obligations for the term of the lease.

In view of the high cost involved for plant renovation, as well as
the comparatively higher operating expenses, it is advisable to
abandon the Northwest Plant and divert that wastewater to the
main treatment facility. The relatively small flow and loading will
not materially affect the Southeast Plant. In order to fulfill the
contractual obligation to provide irrigation water to TTU, the staff
recommended approval of this lease agreement/assignment.

Councilmember Ince to authorize Resolution #4846 as

An overview of the Revised Budget was presented to Council
during the May 11 work session.
Overall the budgetary situation for the City of Lubbock is good.
Revenues continue to show a favorable trend with the increase in
sales tax revenues comprising the most significant portion of that
increase. In addition to the increase in revenues, operating
expenditures have been reduced overall. There are no requested
increases in personnel.
Two capital projects have been added to the Revised Budget that
were not included in the document presented to City Council at the
May 11 work session. The first is the Civic Center Renovation
Project which was approved in the last capital projects bond
election and for which bonds were sold on May 11, 1995. The
Civic Center staff would like to begin the design phase of the
project. In order to do so, funds need to be transferred to the
capital project. Approval in the revised budget process will allow
them to begin the design phase.
The second capital project is for a bond -funded Streets capital
project. Twenty -thousand dollars is being included to allow the
Traffic Engineering Department to complete their portion for the
connection of 66th and 69th streets and rebuilding of the
intersection of Slide Road and 69th Street.
There are no other changes to the 1994-95 Revised Budget
document. Revised budgets have been made available to the
public and the media by placing them at our most accessible
facilities/offices: City Secretary's Office, Public Information
Office, Mahon and Godeke Libraries, Community Centers, Senior
Centers and the Texas Tech Library. The budget staff has received
no public or media comments.
Approval of the 1994-95 Revised Budget will enable departments
to implement the changes requested to complete the fiscal year.
Staff recommended approval of this item.
Motion was made by Councilmember Patterson, seconded by
Councilmember Ince to authorize Resolution #4847 as
recommended by staff. Motion carried: 7 Yeas; 0 Nays.

Randy Henson, Senior Planner, presented staff comments. The
requested zoning change involves two lots located within the AM
Policy area. Since the early 1960s, an area south of 19th between
Indiana and Quaker has been subject to rezoning from R-1 to AM
for development of the medical district. Several years ago the
Policy District was expanded to include the land area to the alley
south of 24th Street from 19th, between Quaker and Indiana
avenues. Actual zone cases within the policy area have slowed
during the last two years since both major hospitals entered the
office business.
Mr. Henson gave the adjacent land use relationships as follows:
North - AM
South - R-1
East - R-1
West - AM
The case is consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. The
property will be subject to AM development standards when a
construction permit is requested. The additional effect on traffic in
the area generated by these two lots should be negligible.
The staff supported the recommendation of the Planning and
Zoning Commission.
Motion was made by Councilmember Cooke, seconded by
Councilmember Hernandez to pass on first reading Ordinance

Mr. Henson gave the adjacent land use relationships as follows:
North - C-2
South - C-2
East - C-2
West - C-2
The proponent has indicated that they will provide an exterior
surface of concrete masonry unit (CMU) split face block. With
that proposal versus the original intent of a metal structure, the
Planning Commission expressed no concern for the amended
zoning and proposed use. There were no comments expressed by
the public at the hearing. The request should have no effect on
traffic.

Mayor Langston opened the public hearing at 5:12 p.m.
Ken Harmon appeared on behalf of Murray Crutcher, Jr., to present
this request for zone change from C-2 to C-3 Specific Use.
No one appeared in opposition. Mayor Langston closed the hearing
at 5:15 p.m.
Randy Henson, Senior Planner, presented staff comments. The
request would accommodate a convenience store with gas pumps.
The Specific Use permit will provide for the reduced setback of the
canopy and a small reduction in setback for a proposed corner sign.
Mr. Henson gave the adjacent land use relationships as follows:
North - C-3
South - C-3
East - C-3
West - C-3
As commercial, the request is consistent with the Comprehensive
Land Use Plan. The greatest item for consideration related to this
request is compatibility.
383
City Council Meeting
May 25, 1995
Page 384
The proposed building materials will be comparable to the area.
The site plan will accommodate a routine reduction in setback for
the canopy. The staff supported a reduction of corner sign setback
from 10 feet to 5 feet because of the very large radius on the corner
and the proposal for an additional area of landscape surrounding
the sign. The sign location will remain outside the visibility
triangle.
The request should have little effect on traffic in the vicinity.

Henry Huneke appeared on behalf of H. A. Sessions to present this
request for zone change from C-4 to C-4 with conditions.
No one appeared in opposition. Mayor Langston closed the hearing
at 5:20 p.m.
Randy Henson, Senior Planner, presented staff comments. The
property is currently zoned C-4 limited to one use — a new and
used car dealership. To accommodate any use other than a
dealership for new and used vehicles, a zoning change is required.
Based on conditions and location of other new car dealerships, all
indications are that the property is not subject to being occupied by
a user meeting the current zoning requirement. Mr. Henson gave
the adjacent land use relationships as follows:
North - commercial
South - duplex
East - commercial
West - commercial
City Council Meeting
May 25, 1995
Page 385
The Comprehensive Land Use Plan suggests that C-4 is
appropriate on state highways or regional thoroughfares; 50th
Street is neither. However, the property is C-4 now, although for
only one C-4 permitted use, and the proponent has proposed a
fairly extensive strike list to the permitted uses.
No public comments were expressed by adjacent owners at the
Planning Commission hearing.
The proposed C-4 zoning shall prohibit the following C-4 uses:
Billboard
Commercial private clubs and teenage clubs
Dance hall
Furniture store, used
Game room, pool, billiard and/or domino parlor
Golf driving range
Greenhouse and plant nursery
Hot tamale plant
Lumber yard, with no mill
Mobile home sales
Nightclub, bar or lounge

Produce market
Rental store
Rental store, heavy equipment and trailers only
Road machinery sales and service

and Zoning Commission.

(34.) Hold a Public hearing for the 1995-96 Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG), Emergency Shelter Grant
(ESG) and HOME Investment Partnership (HOME)
Programs.
Larry Keefauver, Chair of the Community Development Advisory
Commission, provided preliminary comments. The U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) issued a
final rule January 5,1995, that all entitlement cities must submit a
consolidated plan for the next five years. The plan will consolidate
the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Emergency
Shelter Grant (ESG), and the HOME Investment Partnerships
Program (HOME). The intent of the rule is to promote citizen
participation and develop local priority needs and objectives,
coordinate statutory requirements to minimize federal intrusion and
simplify the process of requesting funds, promote the development
of an action plan for assessing performance, and encourage
consultation with public and private agencies. The overall goal of
the Consolidated Plan is to provide decent housing, establish and
maintain a suitable living environment, and expand economic

May 25, 1995
Page 386
development for low-income persons. The plan requires that for the
next five years the money that is provided to the city be used in
those areas as specified in the City's Consolidated Plan.
On December 20, 1994, HUD informed the City of Lubbock that it
is eligible to receive a Fiscal Year 1995 consolidated formula
allocation of $4,561,000. In addition, $875,000 in program income
and income from the below market rate revolving loan from
previous years is available to be allocated for 1995-96 CD projects.
Also, $675,000 was set aside last year by the City Council for
Economic Development projects. This money is for housing,
homeless and community development purposes. The following is
funding available for FY 1995-96:
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) $3,421,000
HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) 1,012,000
Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) 128,000
Program Income 675,000
Below Market Rate Revolving Loan Income 200,000
Total
$5,436,000
Considering the entitlement that the City will receive next year, it
is important to target neighborhoods based on neighborhood size,
economic development and sustainability, and resident support and
participation. Studies and research have shown that the smaller the
size of the neighborhood area, the more manageable it is for a city
to contribute positive impacts. Targeting not only mitigates
housing problems, but also enables a city to provide economic
opportunity, growth, and social mobility to the neighborhoods. In
addition, targeting employs a bottom -up approach of planning in
which residents provide commitment and support for a successful
implementation of their own neighborhood plans.
On January 12, 1995, the City Council gave approval for the
CDAC to prioritize four to six target neighborhoods for the next
five years. On January 23, 1995, each of the CDBG eligible
neighborhoods were invited to a meeting to discuss the upcoming
events in regard to Community Development funding. Each
neighborhood was asked to answer eight questions in reference to
their neighborhood and return the questionnaire to the Community
Development office by Friday, February 3, 1995. The
questionnaire was presented at the February 7 meeting.
On February 2 and February 3, 1995, members of the Community
Development Advisory Committee (CDAC) of the City of
Lubbock took a tour of fifteen potential target neighborhoods. The
neighborhoods toured were Arnett Benson, Chatman Hill,
Parkway/Cherry Point, Heart of Lubbock, Jackson,
Dunbar/Manhattan Heights, North Overton, South Overton,
Harwell, Blue Sky, Skyview, Clayton/Carter, Clapp Park, Chapel
Hill, and Slaton/Bean. A needs and conditions rating sheet was
then completed by each member on the tour.
to
City Council Meeting
May 25, 1995
Page 387
On February 7, 1995, a mixer was held with all fifteen
neighborhoods and the CDAC to present the information that each
neighborhood had provided about their respective neighborhoods.
Some of the information asked for included the demographics of
the neighborhood, the history of the neighborhood, the assets and
resources that the neighborhood has available, and why the
neighborhood should be targeted.
On February 9,1995, the CDAC held a meeting to receive
information regarding neighborhood associations, demographics,
youth issues, crime, private investments, and other impacts on the
above -mentioned fifteen neighborhoods. Representatives from
City departments were asked to be present at this meeting to
answer questions that the committee may have. A second rating
was completed by each member present.
The Community Development and Neighborhood Initiatives staff
converted the two ratings to point scales and presented the data to
the CDAC on February 13, 1995. It was reported to the CDAC
that they had ranked Harwell Neighborhood first, Arnett Benson
second, Jackson third, Slaton/Bean fourth, North Overton fifth,
Heart of Lubbock sixth and Chatman Hill seventh. After
considerable discussion, the majority of the CDAC members voted
to recommend that all fifteen neighborhoods be given the
opportunity to participate in CDBG funding, and that the seven
mentioned above be prioritized during the next five years.
Jackson and Slaton/Bean Neighborhoods will be assessed this year
for the needs and priorities of their neighborhood so they will be
ready to begin meeting those needs as substantial funding becomes
available.
The remaining top four neighborhoods that will not receive
substantial funding for the 1995-1996 program year will have the
opportunity to apply for mini -grants to implement various projects
within their communities. The other eight neighborhoods which
will not receive priority of funding in the next five years will be
able to participate in small grants and leadership -type programs.
On February 23, 1995, the City Council accepted the CDAC's
recommendation to provide a substantial amount of funding in
Harwell, Arnett Benson and Chatman Hill Neighborhoods for the
1995-1996 Program Year. Between February 27 and March 10,
meetings were set up in each of the top seven ranked
neighborhoods so that needs could be identified for each area.
After the needs were identified in the top seven neighborhoods, a
Citizen's Guide was developed to describe how all citizens,
especially low and moderate income individuals, can become
involved in the planning, development, implementation and
monitoring of Lubbock's Consolidated Strategy and Plan.
Information provided in the guide included a brief description of
each of the grants (CDBG, ESG, and HOME), the needs of the top
seven ranked neighborhoods, the citizen participation process, the
Consolidated Strategy and Plan timeline and pertinent information
that citizens might need.

On March 19, a request for proposals was published in the
Avalanche -Journal and other papers. On March 21, 1995, a
meeting was held to distribute applications and to provide technical
assistance to the agencies present. For the next several weeks, staff
offered technical assistance to the nonprofit agencies and/or
neighborhood associations. Several agencies were present at each
of the meetings. The deadline for proposals was April 13, 1995 at
5:00 p.m. Fifty applications were submitted for a total of
$8,218,261. On April 17, staff reviewed the applications and
identified problems. Each agency was contacted and given the
opportunity to revise the application and return it the Community
Development office by Wednesday, April 19, 1995, at 9:00 a.m.
Between April 20 and 27, meetings were held in each of the
targeted areas to present proposals that came in for each of the
respective neighborhoods. The neighborhood residents were asked
to approve or disapprove of the projects being presented for their
neighborhood.
On April 29 the CDAC discussed the proposals that were
submitted. After much deliberation, the committee came up with a
recommendation on proposed projects for the fiscal year 1995-96.
The committee kept in mind the goals of the City Council and the
needs of the neighborhood association in making their decision.
The committee understood that all projects could not be funded
and some budget proposals would have to be reduced.
In keeping with City Council Goals and the requirements of the
consolidation plan, the Community Development Advisory
Committee, the Community Development & Neighborhood
Initiatives staff and the Housing Section have continued to select
areas to prioritize the funding and have continued to emphasize
citizen participation and involvement from the beginning planning
stages through the implementation of approved projects. Lubbock
citizens participate in the process through the Community
Development Advisory Committee, neighborhood associations,
community and business organizations/groups, and direct public
participation.
Mayor Langston opened the public hearing at 5:49 p.m.
Yolanda Jimenez, representing the Community Housing Resource
Board, encouraged the City Council to accept the CDAC
recommendation for funding to the Community Housing Resource
Board.
Cecil Puryear, 2619 2nd Place, addressed concerns regarding the
targeting process, indicating that he believes that the CDBG funds
should be used to remedy dangerous situations and homelessness
across the city.
Mikel Ward, 5417 8th Street, indicated her pleasure with this
year's CDAC process and felt that the smooth process was
attributable to neighborhoods being better organized. She
expressed concern, however, about the monies being allocated to
cover administrative costs.

Wayne Lamberson, 2113 8th Street, speaking on behalf of the
North Overton neighborhood association, addressed his concern
about the lack of funding for the paint -up program. Doug
Goodman, Managing Director of Community Development and
Health, indicated that there would be a paint -up program beginning
October 1, 1995. Mayor Pro Tern Neugebauer suggested that the
neighborhood associations ask for help from the corporate
community through donations funding for paint. Councilmember
Hernandez indicated that the neighborhood associations are already
doing that for other matching projects. Mayor Langston instructed
the City staff to assess the demand for paint before the Council
considers the funding sources.
Coretta Kerr, 8503 Miami Avenue, encouraged the City Council to
accept the recommendation of the CDAC for funding for
renovation of the Phea Branch Boy's and Girl's Club.
Betty Wheeler, 3101 35th, representing YWCA of Lubbock,
thanked the City Council for allowing the YWCA to be a part of
the process and asked that they consider upholding the CDAC
recommendation for funding to the YWCA for the YW-Care
Expansion Project and YWCA Day Camp Expansion. Sheryl
Mattison, 2406 Slide Road, also commented on the need for the
expansion funding.
Sheryl Cates, 3223 S. Loop 289, representing Women's Protective
Services, encouraged the Council to uphold the CDAC
recommendation for funding of the Women's Protective Services.
Tony Romero, representing Walker House, encouraged approval
of the CDAC recommendation for funding to the Walker House.
Mayor Langston closed the public hearing at 7:03 p.m. and
thanked the citizens who appeared as well as the CDAC members
for their time and efforts.
