( 7.) Overview of activities associated with Lubbock Power & Light's
(LP&L) Environmental Management Systems (EMS). Chris Sims,
Environmental Compliance Specialist (10 minutes)
This item was considered following Item No. 5.
Environmental Management Systems (EMS) is a comprehensive dynamic
systems approach to managing operations in a way that will allow
Lubbock Power & Light to meet the universal goal of being responsible
environmental stewards of our natural resources.
In 1996, the City of Lubbock's Environmental Compliance Department
created a permanent position to assist Lubbock Power and Light with the
extremely complicated environmental regulations targeted at electric
utility companies. By 1997, the first elements of the complex EMS had
been created and organizational awareness of the regulations along with
compliance standards began to increase. Lubbock Power & Light expects
the EMS to be completed and operational by the fall of 2002.
The primary environmental state regulatory agency, the Texas Natural
Resources Conservation Commission, was tasked by the 77' Legislature
to voluntarily encourage the use of Environmental Management Systems
(EMS) though recognition and incentives. Upon completion, Lubbock
Power & Light plans to submit its EMS to the Texas Natural Resources
Conservation Commission.
Lubbock Power & Light's (LP&L) environmental affairs are enhanced
by the framework established by Environmental, Management Systems
(EMS). The goal of the EMS is to outline the activities that will allow
LP&L to achieve the universal goal of being responsible environmental
stewards of our natural resources.

commemorate March 2002 as American Red Cross Month in
Lubbock.
March has been observed nationally as Red Cross Month each year since
1943, when President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued the first official
proclamation. Today, the organization's actions, guided by its dedication
to humanity and a desire to promote mutual understanding, friendship,
cooperation, and lasting peace amongst all peoples, follow these
fundamental principles: humanity, impartiality, neutrality, independence,
voluntary service, unity, and universality. An important part of the
March American Red Cross Month celebration is the recognition of the
role of the supporters in the lifesaving mission of the organization,
especially after the events of September 11, 2001.
A presentation of a special recognition commemorating March 2002 as
American Red Cross Month in Lubbock was accepted by Board chair
and vice -chair, Rick Woody and Gant Bumstead. Representatives from
the print, radio and television media and United Supermarkets were

With the opening of the exhibit, Traditions and Renewal: Medieval
Frescoes from the Vatican Museums Collections on June 2, 2002 at the
Texas Tech Museum, Lubbock has a unique opportunity to showcase not
only this wonderful exhibit, the Museum, and Texas Tech University,
but also our great city as well. Approximately 150,000 or more visitors,
many from outside of Lubbock, are expected to attend this one of a kind
exhibit of frescoes from the 12`h and 13`h centuries. This three and a half
month exhibit creates an opportunity to promote Lubbock and its area
attractions to the many regional, national and international visitors that
will be attending this event.
Currently, there is $223,003 that is unallocated in the Hotel Occupancy
Tax Visitor Information Center Reserve Fund. The Visitor Information
Center fund was established to fund and operate a location for all
179

Page180
information on what to see and do in Lubbock. After discussion with
staff from the City, the Texas Tech Museum and the Convention and
Visitors Bureau, it was decided that having a visitor information booth
housed at the Museum throughout the duration of the exhibit would
benefit not only the visitors, but the citizens and businesses of Lubbock
as well. It was felt that constructing an attractive, but mobile booth that
could be relocated at the conclusion of the Vatican Exhibition would
serve this and future needs. During the exhibit, the booth will be manned
by local residents that can answer visitor questions, and staff will be
working with Dave Walker of the Vatican Exhibition staff to recruit local
civic organizations to help in this effort. After September 15, 2002, the
booth will be moved to the Civic Center where it will be used by visitors
attending events and conferences, and it will also have the ability to be
moved to other locations around Lubbock to take advantage of future
promotional opportunities.
The visitor information booth is being designed and constructed with the
help of the Thomas Agency. The booth will contain a large, backlit map
of Lubbock showing tourist attractions and major
thoroughfares. In addition, there will be backlit photographs of area
attractions that will partially surround the map. These pictures will be
installed in a manner that will allow periodic updating of the photos
when necessary. The booth will contain the City of Lubbock logo and a
space to list current events. Two separate components will hold the
Lubbock Visitor's Guide and brochures from local attractions. Should
this concept be successful, it will be possible to duplicate this booth so
that other visitor information center booths could be strategically placed
around the city.
Staff recommended approval of this resolution.

A copy of the Amendment is filed with Resolution No. 2002-R0093.
The Hertz Corporation operates one of five rental car concessions at
Lubbock International Airport. Currently, the company leases 20,000
square feet of ground space near the terminal building for a "make-
ready" facility. Hertz has made a request to lease an additional 5,000
square feet of ground to expand the parking area in the facility. Under
the proposed amendment, Hertz would lease the additional space at the
same rate as their existing space ($.1289 per square foot per year). The
amendment will become effective March 1 and continue to the end of the
current lease term (July 31, 2002).
Staff recommended approval of this resolution.

A copy of the Agreement is filed with Resolution No. 2002-R0094.
This agreement will allow the EMS vehicles used by University Medical
Center (UMC) to be equipped and use the City's Optical Preempt System
currently being used by the Fire Department only. This System allows
181
Regular City Council Meeting
March 14, 2002
Page182
the emergency vehicles to send out a signal that changes the upcoming traffic
signal to green prior to the vehicle's arrival, making it safer for the
emergency vehicle as well as the general public.
The Lubbock EMS in 2001 averaged about 60 calls a day when they ran
Code 3, not counting the return trip to the hospital. These daily calls
resulted in approximately 21,000 Code 3 yearly runs in response to 911.
The EMS had about five wrecks in 2001 and about 13 in 2000. Wreck
damage costs, depending on the severity, are between $3,000-$40,000.
If they wreck an ambulance the cost goes up. The Optical Preempt
System should reduce this cost to the public.
The agreement is for one year followed by five automatic renewals for
one year each. The fees for this agreement will fund the equipment to be
installed on the EMS vehicles the first year. The following five years
would help pay for the maintenance of the entire System. If any funds

A copy of the Agreement is filed with Resolution No. 2002-R0096.
The City of Lubbock received an application for industrial tax abatement
from Watson Sysco Food Services, Inc. to expand their existing facility
at 714 2" Place in the North Enterprise Zone.
The project for Watson Sysco consists of the construction of a 76,000
square foot freezer/cooler/produce addition across the street from the
existing facility at 711 2" Place, to facilitate expansion and growth. The
expected investment in the facility is $5.9 million. In addition to the real
property improvements, Watson Sysco will be investing $1,592,000 in
additional equipment.
Watson Sysco has 207 employees at the present time with a payroll of
$8.7 million. Due to the expansion, an additional 100 jobs will be
created within three years with a payroll of $3.4 million. Forty-five of
the new jobs will be at the Lubbock facility and the remainder of the new
jobs will be sales people and others that will be located outside of the
Lubbock facility.
The project meets the Industrial Tax Abatement Policy and Guidelines
minimum of $500,000 investment in real estate improvements for an
existing company or 20 new jobs or $1 million in tangible personal
property investment.
Market Lubbock considered this application at its February 13, 2002
Board Meeting and has recommended a 10 year, declining scale tax
abatement (example: 1" year 100%; 2" year 90%, etc.) for the project.
The abatement amount for the City of Lubbock is approximately:

of the contract would be $123,227.
The project will add $7.5 million in new value to the tax base in the
North Enterprise Zone. Under the current guidelines, Watson Sysco
Food Service, Inc. is eligible and meets all the criteria for tax abatement.

A copy of the Contract is filed with Resolution No. 2002-RO100.
The Public Information Office has managed a contract with The Thomas
Agency since 1998 to provide advertising services that PIO cannot
provide for the City of Lubbock. In the past 12 months, the City of
Lubbock has spent $231,000 with The Thomas Agency. The Thomas
Agency has provided large graphic projects, media buying, promotional
displays and other public relations projects that PIO does not have the
resources to provide for various departments within the City of Lubbock
organization.
The Thomas Agency also has assisted the City with major projects
including Ports -to -Plains, Police recruiting, the H.A.D. Enough?
campaign and Solid Waste educational efforts. Many departments use
The Thomas Agency under this contract, and all have reported excellent
results.
The main benefit of continuing this contract with The Thomas Agency is
the cost savings. Not only does the agency give the City of Lubbock a
flat hourly rate that is very competitive, it also foregoes agency
commissions on media buys. This allows the City to purchase media at a
-- very competitive cost. Also, when the City promotes a long-term
campaign such as the H.A.D. Enough? aggressive driving campaign,
continuing to use the materials already prepared by The Thomas Agency
allows the City to enjoy an economy of scale that would be lost if the
City started over with a new agency.

A copy of the License is filed with Resolution No. 2002-R0105.
In September 2001, the Buddy Holly Center collaborated with Texas
Tech University, Texas Monthly Magazine and the Texas Music Office,
Office of the Governor to present "Not Fade Away: The Life and Times
of Buddy Holly". It was the first academic symposium on the popular
culture of the 1950's that influenced early Rock and Roll and the
continuing impact of that music. Music historians and scholars from
across the United States participated in a three-day event that included
presentations, lectures, discussions, performances, and concerts at Texas
Tech University and the Buddy Holly Center.
Because of the success of the symposium and the concerts, the Buddy
Holly Center and Texas Tech University plan to present the program as
an annual event and wish to use the Buddy Holly name to promote the
program to audiences throughout the world. A license agreement with
Maria Elena Holly will enable the Buddy Holly Center to present an
annual Buddy Holly Symposium and Music Showcase using Buddy
Holly's name to promote concerts and festival events as part of the
program. The license agreement will be in effect through February 2009
and allows the City of Lubbock to renew the contract annually without
having to renegotiate the terms of the agreement each year. Either party
may elect to not do the symposium for any given year.
A licensing fee of $30,000 for each annual event that is organized and
presented will be raised through donations along with the funds to
present the academic panels and music showcase.

The City Council has established the North Overton Tax Increment
Finance District (TIF) for the purpose of encouraging development and
redevelopment. Because the TIF was initiated by a petition of the
property owners, by statute the board must consist of nine members.
Each school district and county levying taxes and participating in the TIF
zone may name a representative to the board as well, though they can
waive that right. Since LISD cannot participate, only Lubbock County
will appoint a member if they choose to be a part of the TIF. Other
members required by statute include the State Senator and State
Representative for the zone or their designees.
This leaves six members to be appointed by City Council. According to
the statute, the members appointed by the Council must be at least 18
years of age and owners of real property in the TIF zone or employees
or agents of someone who owns property in the zone. The Council must
also appoint one of these members to serve as Chairman of the Board of
Directors for the remainder of 2002.
After the City Council creates the TIF, the Board of Directors of the
zone finalizes both a Reinvestment Zone project plan and financing plan.
Both plans must be approved by both the TIF Board of Directors and by
Ordinance of the City Council. The Board is responsible for
administering the Tax Increment Financing Reinvestment Zone
throughout its 30-year life span and for recommending projects to be
financed with the approval of the City Council.
Staff recommended that Council appoint six members and designate a
chairperson so that final project and financing plans can be completed
during early 2002.
Motion was made by Councilmember Cooke, seconded by
Councilmember Patterson to appoint Jack P. Driskill, Victor Hernandez,
Walker Metcalf, Pat Murphee, Ted Rushing, and Margaret Talkington to
the Board of Directors for the North Overton Tax Increment Financing
