CITIZEN COMMENTS
(I.) Mayor L. C. Childers of the City of Wolfforth appeared to request that
the City of Lubbock release some of its extraterritorial jurisdiction
northeast of Wolfforth.
During the past year, the owner and developer of a square mile between 501h
and 661h, from Alcove to FM 179, have discussed the potential for
annexation of that property by the City of Wolfforth (the square mile north
of the new school complex developed by Frenship ISD. A recent article in
the Lubbock Avalanche Journal outlined the proposed development by
Mike Freyburger in conjunction with the landowner, H.A. Sessions. The
proposed subdivision would follow the development style of Llano Estates
located to the north at 50`h and FM 179.
In prior discussions with the Planning Department, the fact that the City of
Lubbock is already overly extended for the installation of service
(especially sewer) in the ten square miles annexed in 1999 resulted in the
owner and developer working with Wolfforth to annex the area.
The topic of the citizen appearance has to do with an existing contract
between Lubbock and Wolfforth regarding extraterritorial jurisdiction.
Within that contract, the City of Wolfforth has the south one-half of the
square mile as ETJ and the City of Lubbock has the north one-half. The
request is for the City of Lubbock to abandon the north one-half section as
ETJ because of a state law prohibiting one city from annexing into the ETJ
of another city. The sequence of events created by state law is a little
confusing, but the critical beginning of that sequence for Wolfforth would
be agreement of the City Council to abandon the north one half of the
section.
The current city limit of Lubbock would meet at the corner of 82"d and
Alcove. As noted, the south half of the section is already within the
Wolfforth ETJ, so that annexing the north half by Lubbock would be nearly
a mile from the existing city limits that follows the north line of the
Brownfield Highway. Wolfforth is in the process of working with Water
Utilities to contract for water and perhaps sewer service for the new
subdivision. If Lubbock annexes the area and does not extend sufficient
sewer capacity to the area, it is the opinion of the Planning Department that
the subdivision would not develop. Since it is vacant now, under the "like
services" clause of annexation law, the City of Lubbock would not have to
install sewer to the site.
The City's general philosophy has been to "follow" development so as to
maintain our tax base. While we concluded that the previous Council
wanted to hold off on future annexation until such time as we consolidated

our last one, we wanted to at least visit with Council about our options
before coming to a conclusion on this matter.
Mayor McDougal and City Manager Cass recommended placing this item
on the work session agenda for the September 17, 2002 meeting.

( 2A.) Jim Robinson, an Elder of the New Life Family Center Church,
discussed the issue of sexual predators/offenders and convicted rapist
being place on Lubbock Cable Channel 6. He stated he had dealt with
the abused and the perpetrators. He was in favor of the public
information because he wants to protect children, but knows one
individual who had been charged, served his time and was very
accountable. He suggested keeping people like this off public television.

Curtis Griffith, Treasurer of the Agriculture Heritage Museum introduced
others officers: Dr. Don Abbe, Executive Director, Dan Taylor, Vice -
President and Patty Jones, Secretary.
On June 26, 2002, the City of Lubbock amended the License Agreement
with the American Wind Power Center to allow for a sublicense to the
Agriculture Heritage Museum, Inc. for the sole purpose of displaying
antique agricultural implements. The Agriculture Heritage Museum, Inc.,
doing business as The American Museum of Agriculture, is now occupying
eight acres on the north end of the property located at Canyon Lakes Drive
and Broadway. The term of the sub -license is for five years, with an option
for an additional five-year term.
With that in mind, the Agriculture Heritage Museum, Inc. wishes to locate
their permanent facility on the southeast corner of Mackenzie Park, on the
north side of Broadway across from the American Wind Power Center.
Based on the added value and synergy created by this museum, the Parks
and Recreation Advisory Board endorsed this location in May 2001. In an
effort to promote the continued development of the Jim Bertram Lake
System, staff is currently working on a License Agreement with the
Agriculture Heritage Museum, Inc for the establishment of the permanent
site in Mackenzie Park.
The Agriculture Heritage Museum has developed a master plan that
includes an extensive package of site plans, potential exhibit designs,
renderings of the permanent facility and cost projections to construct the
museum. The master plan, which will be an invaluable tool for marketing
and fund-raising, will be presented at the 2nd Annual Membership meeting
of the Agriculture Heritage Museum, Inc. on August 22, 2002.
The Agriculture Heritage Museum is currently displaying approximately
one hundred antique agricultural implements such as tractors, plows, horse-
drawn implements and hand tools. The hours of operation are Fridays and
Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Dr. Don Abbe, Executive Director of the Agriculture Heritage Museum,
Inc., made a presentation regarding the master plan and fund-raising drive
that will be launched to build the museum.

for animal services and general recommendations. Margaret

Regular City Council Meeting
August 29, 2002
Page 58
The Council directed the Animal Shelter Advisory Committee formed in
April 2002 to begin looking at fees charged for Animal Services. The
Committee will discuss with Council the major challenges being imposed
on this department and recommendations the Council should pursue for
improving service levels.
In the past six years, the number of animals being handled has doubled from
15,000 animals per year to 30,000 and the number of dispatched calls
exceeds several other departments (such as Police and Fire Departments).
The City has also annexed considerable land space in the last 10 years with
no increase in Animal Services staff to cover these areas. There are safety
issues this department contends with since they are a 24/7 department (e.g.
injuries, no dispatcher to monitor night officer, and only 1 officer on
weekends). Lubbock has had 2 deaths in recent years due to mauling and
between 400-500 reported bites on a yearly basis must be investigated.
Margaret Meacham, Chair of the Animal Shelter Advisory Committee,
made a presentation regarding fees.

A copy of Exhibits "A" and "B" is filed with Resolution No. 2002-R0301.
A few years ago, the City Council approved the master transportation plan
that planned for Milwaukee Avenue going through McAlister Park. This
section of Milwaukee Avenue will connect the Brownfield Highway with
Spur 327 and help service the park improvements at McAlister Park. In
order to construct Milwaukee Avenue though the park, the Texas Parks and
Wildlife Department (TP&W) requires that the City follow their conversion
guidelines because the State provided funding for the original acquisition of
the Park and the City is changing the use from parkland to street use. These
guidelines include performing an environmental study and acquiring
conversion property to replace the land taken for Milwaukee Avenue. The
City had an appraiser, Tommy Cantrell, take a look at the valuation of
McAlister Park, the value of Milwaukee Avenue, and the value of the
conversion property. The appraiser valued the 3.104 acres needed for
Milwaukee Avenue at $16,500 per acre for a total of $51,216. There is
available private land owned by Heron Land Company at the southeast
corner of McAlister Park, just north of Spur 327 and west of Genoa Avenue
that TP&W has approved to be acquired for conversion property. The
appraiser valued this land at $8,800 per acre, the majority of which is in the
flood zone as much of the land is in this area of the park. TP&W also
:%

approved the City acquiring $51,216 (value of Milwaukee Avenue) worth
of this land or 5.82 acres ($8,800 X 5.82 acres = $51,216). The Parks
Department is in the process of applying for a grant with TP&W and by
acquiring one additional acre of this conversion land at $8,800 per acre, will
qualify the City for this grant. Therefore, our offer to Heron Land Company
is $60,016 for these two tracts of land that total 6.82 acres.
This resolution also authorizes the City to institute condemnation
proceedings to acquire this property if our offer is refused.

Harmon Tank is located between East l oth Street on the north and what
would be Main Street on the south and is just east of Martin Luther King Jr.
Boulevard. They replatted their property in 1991 into one large tract which
involved the closure of several streets and alleys. They dedicated a
cul-de-sac for Teak Avenue near the southeast corner of their property but
left what used to be Teak Avenue open to the north of the cul-de-sac area so
their office area could be reached. Over the last few years, they have fenced
in more and more of their property due to vandalism and trespass. Between
their property and East Broadway are two nightclubs that have contributed
to the problem by dumping beverage containers in Teak Avenue and onto
their property. Vehicles have run into their buildings and doors resulting in
several thousands of dollars in damage. This street -use license will allow
them to gate across the Teak Avenue entrance and eliminate nearly all of
these vandalism and theft problems during night time hours when they
occur. The gates will remain open during normal business hours.
Immediately south of this license area is an east -west alley that can
carry any vehicle traffic when the gates are closed. This street -use license
will be for 20 years and since Harmon Tank was the original dedicator of
the street area, no charge will be made to them for this license.

A copy of the Amendment is filed with Resolution No. 2002-R0336.
The amendment to the contract with Texas Tech University would increase
the number of service hours provided to the University for both on campus
and off campus service. The amendment changes the number of service
hours for on campus service for the 2002-2003 academic from 17,504 hours
to 24,831 hours. This increases the fee for on campus service from
$630,144 to $893,919. The service hours for the off -campus service for
academic year 2002-2003 changes to 13,890 from 10,203. The fee for off
campus service increases to $500,028 from $367,308. The base rate of
$36.00 per hour, as stated in the original contract, does not change. The
amendment increases the amount of the contract by $396,495. The three-
year contract with Texas Tech University for transit services was
originally approved by City Council on January 25, 2001. In accordance
with the Texas Tech University, Citibus does not collect fares from the
passengers.
The TTU Board of Regents will consider approval of the contract at their
November meeting. The TTU Board of Regents requests that the City
Council execute the contract first.

A copy of the Grant is filed with Resolution No. 2002-R0306.
Citibus has electronically applied for and been allocated a Federal Transit
Administration Section 5307 Grant (Project #TX-90-X563-00) for FY 2002
in the amount of $3,166,249. This is a routine grant that Citibus receives on
an annual basis. The Lubbock Public Transit Advisory Board has
approved the FTA Section 5307 grant and it has been incorporated into the
FY 2002 budget, which has been previously approved by the City Council.
The funds for this grant will be used for operating assistance, the purchase
of paratransit vehicles, preventative maintenance, ADA paratransit,
miscellaneous support equipment, planning assistance, and bus shelters to
be located at Texas Tech University. The Federal Transit Administration
did not approve this grant to be executed until July 1, 2002, which accounts
for this item being brought before the City Council at such a late date.
New Federal Transit Administration regulations require that all grants must
be applied for and executed electronically. However, the grant was
unintentionally executed before it could be brought before the City Council.
Acceptance of the agreement will result in no additional cost to the City of
Lubbock.

TxDOT is allocating $1,229,354.00 of public transportation funds to the
City of Lubbock for operating assistance to maintain its public
transportation system (Citibus) for Fiscal Year 2002-2003. The

additional cost to the City of Lubbock.
The City of Lubbock was allocated approximately $1,744,000.00 for the
biennium. However, due to the uncertainty of federal funding in the near
future, Citibus requested that a larger portion of the award be allocated in
FY 2002 -2003.

The City of Lubbock requires drug/alcohol testing for approximately 600
applicants/employees each year; 150 to 200 are required by the Department
of Transportation
Approximately 200-250 Non -Civil Service and 100-150 Civil Service
applicants/employees would require physicals each year.
ADA also requires that the employer make reasonable accommodations for
applicants and current employees who become disabled. Therefore, the
City relies on the expert opinion of its Board Certified Occupational
Medicine Physician(s) for help in determining avenues for accommodating
employees/applicants.
Covenant was originally awarded the contract through a Request for
Proposal RFP #225-01/RW on December 13, 2000, and its addendum RFP
#98187 on January 25, 2001, for the above mentioned occupation medicine
services.
On July 1, 2002, Covenant closed its I-27 Occupational Medicine Clinic
due to reorganization. As a result of their reorganization Covenant could
not service all requirements of the City's occupational medicine needs after
terminating their only Board Certified Occupational Medicine Physician.
An official ninety -day contract cancellation notification letter was sent to
Covenant on July 22, 2002, in accordance with Article Il, Section B, of the
contract document. Amy New, Covenant's Contract Manager, authorized
the City to immediately begin utilizing OccMed Associates for all of its
occupational medicine needs via an email document dated July 24, 2002.

A copy of the Agreement is filed with Resolution No. 2005-R0310.
The City of Lubbock is currently under a service agreement with
Southwestern Bell (SWB) for SmartTrunk Interface Service. The resolution
will allow for the renewal of these SmartTrunk Interfaces for a three-year
period for each trunk interface. If the City of Lubbock did not renew this
agreement, no incoming or outgoing calls would be allowed to the City of
Lubbock facilities.
The SmartTrunks are secured with redundancy through loop protection in
redundant routes and via redundant central offices. The four trunks are
necessary to adequately handle the number of calls received into the City
during and after hours. Each trunk will allow 23 calls to enter or leave the
City of Lubbock telephone switch at one time.
The trunks are the connection between the SWB central office and the City
of Lubbock telephone switch. The trunks also allow DIDs (Direct Inward
Dialing) on the phone extensions.
The contracts for the trunk service are considered a sole source, which is an
exemption from Local Government Code 252. The necessary purchasing
forms and signatures are attached. A letter from Southwestern Bell is also
attached, stating their sole source ability to provide SmartTrunk service
with this level of security via redundant routes and redundant central
offices.
The following trunks will be renewed for 36 months at the rate of $350 a
month. Currently staff is paying $375 and $400, respectively.

A copy of the Contract is filed with Resolution No. 2005-RO31 I.
Currently, the Parks & Recreation Department is not using an electronic
system to maintain facility and activity reservations and scheduling. To
help improve efficiency for the department, it was determined that the
department needed to acquire a software system that accomplishes the
following:
• Allowing for facility reservations from any Parks location (main
office, community centers, etc.)
• Allowing for class and activity scheduling (which includes reserving
the facility)
• Scheduling of sports leagues and tournaments (including reserving
the facility)
• Providing for a pass management system that will speed up the
process of signing up and paying for classes and activities
• Providing for a web interface so that citizens can sign up for
facilities and activities over the Internet.

Given the above criteria, an RFP was issued and received five responses.
The proposals were reviewed by a selection committee from the Parks &
Recreation and Information Technology departments. The factors used to
review the responses were as follows:
• Configuration (25%)
• Cost (25%)
• Service and Maintenance (20%)
• Bandwidth Availability (20%)
• Vendor Qualifications (10%)
Based on the analysis by the selection committee, the totals per vendor are
listed below:
Class Software Solutions
92.3
Every://Ware Web and Technology Solutions
41.5
RecWare
87.5
TELUS Enterprise Solutions
79.1
Vermont Systems
85.5
Class Software Solutions, RecWare, and Vermont Systems were invited to
give a presentation on their respective products. Since each of these
companies had similar scores for Service and Maintenance and Bandwidth
Availability, the final decision was based on the remaining three factors:
• Configuration
The system configuration is based on the availability of the facility
reservations system, activity and sports scheduling systems, and the
web interface. Both Class Software and RecWare either had all of
the features or will have these features within the next year.
Vermont Systems seemed to be lacking in several of these features.
• Cost
While Vermont Systems had the best cost, it was not as full -featured
as Class Software or RecWare.
• Vendor Qualifications
Based on the references provided by each of the vendors, Class
Software received the highest recommendations. Additionally, it
appeared that more of Class Software clients are using their web
interface than were clients of RecWare and Vermont Systems.
Staff recommended that Class Software Solutions be awarded the contract
for the Parks Software system. The cost of the system is $105,781 with
annual maintenance at $18,375. The funds for this system and maintenance
are budgeted within the Parks Capital Project Fund.

For the past 6 years, the City of Lubbock Health Department has been a
facilitator for the Texas Department of Health's Title V Program. During
this time, the grant money has built a strong maternal and child health
infrastructure within the Health Education Team (HET). The activities
planned for the 2002-2003 grant include Motherhood and Prenatal
Education in underserved neighborhoods as well as facilitating the prenatal
parenting classes. Classes will focus on the development of parenting skills
and will target at -risk teen mothers, as well as the general population.
Another initiative will be a collaborative effort with the City of Lubbock 's
Prevention Section, the Fire Department, and HET, in which immunizations
and education are provided at no cost.
Office of Public Health Practice (attachment 05). $118,554 total. A
decrease of $1,794 from last year.
The $93,162 in financial assistance provides salaries and fringe benefits
for four City employees, and direct assistance equivalent to $25,392 for
one State -paid employee. The one State -paid nurse's services are available
at no cost to the City. Of the five employees, two work in the S.T.D.
program, one works in the laboratory, one in Health Education, and there is
one vacancy.
This attachment supports comprehensive public health services that are
consistent with the Health Department Mission Statement. This attachment
supports developing a functional and effective public health system with the
specific goal of improving public health capacity to respond to both
emerging and continuing public health threats.
The Sexually Transmitted Disease Program is designed to stop the spread of
disease by tracking down the partners of those diagnosed with sexually
transmitted diseases and either treating them or referring them to another
clinic or physician.
Immunizations/Locals (attachment 06). $107,153 total. A decrease of
$2,630 over last year.
This attachment provides salaries and fringe benefits for a Registered
Nurse, a Licensed Vocational Nurse and a Secretary to run the program are
included in this attachment of $107,153, a decrease of $2,630 from last
year. This year the contract does not reflect a dollar amount for the vaccine
provided to the Lubbock Health Department. During the current fiscal year,
the vaccine is valued at approximately $145,875. However, TDH will
continue to provide sufficient vaccine to meet our needs, at no cost to the
City.
The City of Lubbock provides an immunization clinic with the fewest
barriers to service. Activities include providing immunizations at the
Health Department clinic; outreach activities for infants, children and high
risk adults in their homes, correctional facilities, at day care centers, the
South Plains Mall, health fairs and senior citizen centers; and investigation
and initiation of control measures for vaccine -preventable diseases. For
example, last year, the Health Department provided immunization services
to 5,519 children and 4,963 adults. This equaled to administration of
15,584 immunizations. A total of 84 immunization outreach clinics were
organized reaching 5,348 children and adults. These outreach efforts are
provided throughout the city and include one Saturday clinic per month.
With the occurrences of September 11, 2001, the Health Department
Immunization clinic had an overwhelming response to influenza vaccine
requests. The staff administered 3,932 doses of flu vaccine to Lubbock
citizens. This included providing influenza vaccine to postal workers at
each post office location.

Preventing diseases by the use of vaccine is considered a core service of
Public Health and good public health practice provides that you do not miss
an opportunity to vaccinate a child when you have a chance. Many parents
do not think about immunizing their children until they take them to school
at five years of age. Therefore, providing immunizations must utilize a
proactive, on -going approach to reach effective levels.
Total Contract (attachments 03, 04, 05, 06) Value: $327,139.00
These programs fulfill the Core Missions of Public Health —those of
Surveillance, Prevention, Health Education, and Laboratory support.
Without the funding from the Texas Department of Health contract, our
local public health efforts would be greatly impaired and the risk of illness
in Lubbock citizens would increase.

This item was moved from consent agenda to regular agenda and was
considered following Item 86.
This amendment to an existing contract created in 1996 with the Texas
Tech University Health Sciences Center effectively reduces the minimum
number of hours per week from 4.5 hours to 2.0 hours that a physician must
be in the Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) clinic. The reduction in
hours is the result of accreditation requirements being imposed on TTUHSC
requiring teaching faculty to be present in off -site clinics for every resident
student clinic. Standing orders from our Medical Director to continue
treatment without a physician being on -site at all times has been approved
and the clinic will not see any adverse effect with this change. All other

A copy of the Application is filed with Resolution No. 2005-R0314.
The Texas Transportation Commission recognizes that an aesthetically
pleasing right-of-way is an important asset to our state highway system.
The Commission has actively supported sound landscape development of
the right-of-way and encourages cooperative landscape development
projects. They believe that the long-term success of landscape development
is contingent upon local community involvement.
In February 1989, the Commission established the Landscape Cost Sharing
Program and set aside state funds that would be used to share in the cost of
93
Regular City Council Meeting

Page 94
joint landscape development projects throughout Texas. The program is
operated under the rules and definitions pertaining to Public Participations
Programs, Section 2.62-2.66 of Title 43, Texas Administrative Code.
Applications for cost share may be submitted to the Texas Department of
Transportation (TxDOT) at any time.
Planned improvements include trees, native and hybrid grasses, irrigation
systems, and curb and gutter installation on Regis Street from Interstate 27
east to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard. The Lubbock District Office
of TxDOT has not yet approved the exact amount to be recommended for
funding. However, the amount of funds being requested will not exceed
$750,000. The City of Lubbock is required to provide a match of at least an
equal amount of cash and in -kind services. Staff proposes a combination of
cash and in -kind services.
This grant application responds to the City Council goals of expanding
grant revenue opportunities as well as continuing the implementation of
improvements and enhancements to the Lubbock International Airport
Corridor. The processing time period is generally between 4-5 months.
This is Phase 2 of the Regis Street Corridor Improvement Project. The City
of Lubbock donor match requirement is provided from the Airport Fund,
Parks and Recreation Capital Project Fund, and private contributions
collected from local corporate supporters by members of the Keep Lubbock
Beautiful Board.
Staff recommended that Council pass the resolution authorizing the Mayor
to execute and submit a grant application to the Texas Department of
Transportation Landscape Cost Sharing Program for improvements to the
Lubbock International Airport Regis Street Corridor.
(46.) Resolution No. 2002-R0315 authorizing the City Council to approve the
recommendation of the Parks and Recreation Board regarding FY
2001-2002 use of in -kind services by City of Lubbock departments for
special event support.
At the January 9, 1997, City Council meeting the City Council approved
Ordinance #9965, which amended Chapter 2 of the Code of Ordinances of
the City of Lubbock. In doing so, the duties of the Parks and Recreation
Board were expanded to include review of requests for in -kind services for
special/community events. The special events policy was developed in
order to track special event support and monitor the increase of requests
received from non-profit organizations for special events in the City of
Lubbock. The policy allocates up to $200,000 annually for in -kind
services. Of that amount 90% ($180,000) is earmarked for existing events,
while the remaining 10% ($20,000) is targeted for new events.
Each year, City staff conducts at least two training sessions for local non-
profit and civic organizations to familiarize them with the special events
policy and the grant process. Applications for in -kind services are due at
least forty-five days prior to the event. Once received, the application is
reviewed by departmental staff to ensure that the request is appropriate. For
example, the Police Department reviews requests for security and traffic
control to ensure that the appropriate number of officers is requested. If
needed, adjustments are made to the requests and the applicants are notified.
The Parks and Recreation Board then rates the grant application for in -kind
City services based on the applicant's response to 9 subjective questions for
each event. Each subjective question is worth up to 5 points from the
individual Parks and Recreation Board members. The individually graded
applications are then returned to staff in order to determine the aggregate
score. There are a total of 405 possible points on the subjective section and
an additional 250 possible points on the objective section of the application
with a possible 655 points for each event. The objective section deals with
the percent of budget that is publicly funded, the applicant's non-profit
status, etc.

On June 25, 2002 and August 12, 2002, the Parks and Recreation Board

Event Applications for in -kind services:

which will be absorbed within the existing departmental budgets. The event
organizers will be responsible for making up the difference. Since the
Panhandle South Plains Fair event being recommended for approval is a
new event, this would leave a balance of $8,716 of in -kind services that can
be allocated for new special events in FY 2001-2002. Since the Buddy
Holly Festival event being recommended for approval is an existing event,
this would leave a balance of $79,320 of in -kind services that can be
allocated for existing special events in FY 2001-2002.

This change order is necessary because of a mislocated pipeline and a
99

Page 97
change in the pipeline route.
At the beginning of Phase 2 of the Annexation Sanitary Sewer
Improvements, city forces located the existing 36-inch pipeline in 98th
Street for the contractor. Unfortunately, the original pipeline route deviated
from a straight line between two manholes to miss a surface conflict that
existed at the time. The contractor requested additional monies for delays
and backfill.
Also, the pipeline route was modified as a result of negotiations with the
landowner. This realignment added 300 feet to the project and caused
additional work for the contractor.

The Lubbock Emergency Communication District (LECD) is required to
submit its annual budget for approval to governing bodies within the
boundaries of the District. For that reason, the LECD Board of Managers
is submitting its Fiscal Year 2002-2003 Budget. It was the opinion of the
LECD Board of Managers that the proposed budget represents a fair and
prudent financial plan to accomplish the LECD mission of providing
Enhanced 9-1-1 service to the citizens of Lubbock County. It was further
ordered, by the Board of Managers, that the service fee, as authorized by
Texas Health and Safety Code Section 772.301 through 772.329, be
continued at 5% of the base telephone rate on all service users in the
District. As Council may recall, staff lowered the rate to 5% in 2001

WHEREAS, in accordance with the City Budget Ordinance, the City Manager is
authorized to make transfers between funds, accounts, departments or programs for City

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LUBBOCK:
SECTION 1. THAT the City Manager of the City of Lubbock is hereby authorized
and directed to make the following changes to the City of Lubbock Budget for municipal
purposes:
Two Capital Projects in the Airport Fund will be changed to account for increased costs
associated with their completion.
The Silent Wings Museum project budget needs to increase from $2,313,835 to
$2,353,835 with a $40,000 increase coming from fundraising designated for the
Silent Wings Museum. The additional costs for this project are related to
conditions found in the old terminal building during construction, which were not
discovered during the initial design and bid processes.
The Construct High Speed Taxiway B1 project budget needs to increase from
$1,369,880 to $2,124,514 with a $522,788 increase coming from FAA Entitlement
Grants and an additional $231,846 coming from Passenger Facility Charges. The
increase is driven by a change initiated by FAA air traffic controllers who during
the design process, indicated the need to relocate the proposed exit from one side of

This budget amendment will increase the Silent Wings Museum
construction budget from $2,313,835 to $2,353,835, an overall increase of
$40,000 or approximately 1.7 percent. The additional costs are related to
conditions found in the old terminal during construction that were not
discovered during the design process. Also included is a change in
construction materials for a seal that will be located in the center of the
plaza at the entrance to the museum. During the submittal process it was
discovered that the colors of the seal cannot be duplicated in terrazzo,

requiring a change to mosaic tile. This budget amendment will be funded
with $40,000 generated through the Silent Wings fund raising campaign.
In the early conceptual stages of the High Speed Taxiway B, this project
was funded at $1,369,860 with FAA Entitlement Grant funds and Passenger
Facility Charge funds. This budget amendment will increase the project to
$2,124,514. The increase is being driven by a change initiated by FAA air
traffic controllers who during the design process expressed a desire to
relocate the proposed exit from one side of the runway to the other. The
change will provide a more suitable exit for smaller aircraft exiting
Lubbock International's main runway, increasing operational efficiency and
improving safety. It will also provide an additional entry point into the
newly constructed cargo ramp expansion on the west side of the airport
benefiting the Federal Express and Airborne cargo facilities. The additional
funding will be a $522,788 increase coming from FAA Entitlement Grants
and an additional $231,846 coming from Passenger Facility Charges under
the FAA's Airport Improvement Program. The Airport Board has reviewed
the proposed change and recommended approval.
Staff recommended approval of this resolution.
(53.) Resolution No. 2002-RO342 authorizing the Mayor to make changes to
the City of Lubbock FY 2001-02 Streets Capital Projects Budget to
provide funding to TxDOT for the Marsha Sharp Freeway right-of-
way.
RESOLUTION NO.2002-RO342
WHEREAS, Section 102.010 of the Local Government Code of the State of Texas
authorizes City Councils to make changes in budget for municipal purposes; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with the City Budget Ordinance, the City Manager is
authorized to make transfers between funds, accounts, departments or programs for City
purposes: and
WHEREAS, the City Council deems it advisable to change the budget for
municipal purposes and reallocate funds as follows; NOW THEREFORE:
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LUBBOCK:
SECTION 1. THAT the City Manager of the City of Lubbock is hereby authorized
and directed to make the following changes to the City of Lubbock Budget for municipal
purposes:
The East-West Freeway Capital Project in the Streets Capital Projects Fund will be
changed to account for increased costs associated with its completion.
TxDOT's estimate of total R.O.W. costs is now $161,000,000, of which the City of
Lubbock is obligated to pay 10%, or $16,100,000. The City has paid $6,000,000 to
date. The Lubbock TxDOT office is requesting payment of $6,102,135 to bring the
City of Lubbock current on its 10% participation.
Acquisition costs have doubled because of wider R.O.W. than original, a longer rail
relocation length and higher rail construction costs, higher utility relocation costs,
asbestos abatement prior to demolition and inflation.
The current budget is $19,270,000. In order to pay TxDot the payment of
$6,102,135, the budget will need to increase by $4,018,000. City Council is being
asked to authorize the use of the thoroughfare reserves ($1,092,000) and the East-
West Freeway interest reserve ($1,244,000). Another $1,682,000 is to come from
existing capital projects and the budget will be adjusted for this. The other
$2,084,135 is to come from the current budget amount. The attached Exhibit A
outlines the specific changes.
The remaining $4,000,000 would be included in future debt issuances of
$2,400,000 in Spring 2004 and $1,600,000 in Spring 2005. Incurring debt on this
timetable can be accomplished without a tax increase.

A copy of Exhibit "A" is filed with Resolution No. 2002-R0342.
This item was moved from consent agenda to regular agenda and was
considered following Item 44.
Current Request: TxDOT's estimate of total right-of-way costs is now
$161,000,000, of which the City of Lubbock is obligated to pay 10%, or
$16,100,000. The City has paid $6,000,000 to date. The Lubbock TxDOT
office is requesting payment of $6,102,135 to bring the City of Lubbock
current on its 10% participation. Another $4,000,000 will be needed in the
next 18 to 36 months.
History: Before R.O.W. acquisition began in 1995, the City agreed to pay
10% of the costs (by Council Resolution No. 4930). At that time the
estimate of the City's share was $8M, however the City's participation is
not "capped." Acquisition costs have doubled because of wider R.O.W.
than original, a longer rail relocation length and higher rail construction
costs, higher utility relocation costs, asbestos abatement prior to demolition
and inflation.
Budget Change: A budget change is necessary to Capital Project #915-
9513 East-West Freeway. The current budget is $19,270,000. In order to
pay TxDOT the payment of $6,102,135, the budget will need to increase by
$4,018,000. City Council is being asked to authorize the use of the
thoroughfare reserves ($1,092,000) and the East-West Freeway interest
reserve ($1,244,000). Another $1,682,000 is to come from existing capital
projects and the budget will be adjusted for this. The other $2,084,135 is to
come from the current budget amount.
Funding Sources: Following are the sources of funds identified to meet
the City's obligation of $6,102,135:
Require Council Authorization to use:
• Thoroughfare reserves = $1,092,000. These funds were
accumulated several years ago from General Fund year-end
balances.
• Interest reserve = $1,244,000. Interest earned on bond funds.
• Loop 289 project (right turn lanes at Slide, Quaker, Indiana =
$351,249) will have a budget of $0 after funding is moved to E-W
103

Freeway. These intersections are functioning well since TxDOT
finished its work.
• State/Fed match project (issued in 2000 & 2001 GO bonds =
$1,330,751) will have a budget of $116,834 after funding is moved
to E-W Freeway. These funds were included in the 1999 Street
bond package in anticipation of getting one State off -system (City
street) project a year. Marsha Sharp Freeway R.O.W. acquisition
costs and revised construction estimates have absorbed TxDOT
funding that could go to off -system projects.
• E-W Freeway Project funds = $2,200,000 (Currently remaining in
project). Remainder of the $8,200,000 issued in 1989 and 1993.
The remaining $4,000,000 would be included in future debt issuances of
$2,400,000 in Spring 2004 and $1,600,000 in Spring 2005. Incurring debt
on this timetable can be accomplished without a tax increase.

Covenant Health Systems ("Covenant") has requested Lubbock Health
Facilities Development Corporation ("LHFDC") to issue tax-exempt
financing to pay a portion of two medical transport helicopters.
Covenant has made application to LHFDC, which is a tax-exempt financing
conduit sponsored by the City of Lubbock. LHFDC conducted a public

debt issuance process.
In order for the tax-exempt financing to be issued by LHFDC for Covenant,
the Internal Revenue Service requires the City to acknowledge and approve
the financing of the Project.
The tax-exempt financing will not be issued in the name of the City of
Lubbock and the City of Lubbock assumes no responsibility or liability for
the bonds or their repayment
The City of Lubbock assumes no responsibility for this debt and this debt is
necessary to fund acquisition costs of two medical transport helicopters.

restricted mobility to the department. The installation of the elevator is the
first phase of renovations at the Health Department.
The low bid is $127,119 from Knox, Gailey & Meador Inc. of Lubbock,
Texas and is within the Buildings Capital Outlay -Health and Community

A copy of the Letter of Award is filed with Resolution No. 2002-R0329.
This bid is to establish annual pricing for turbine meters, three-inch through
ten -inch, and portable fire hydrant meters. The turbine meters will be
installed at various business locations for building and irrigation use. The
portable fire hydrant meters are used by the City to measure water use from
fire hydrants throughout the City by contractors. The primary source of
revenue for Public Works Water Utilities is derived from water sold and
sewer disposal. The water meter is the only accurate way to measure and
assess the user fee. The revenue stream will be greatly impacted without an
accurate way of measuring water use. These meters will replace those that
have been in service for more than ten years and are no longer accurately
measuring water sold. They will also be used to replace those that fail with
less than ten years of service and are determined to be irreparable.
The low bids are from the following companies:
Master Meter, Inc. of Fort Worth, TX $17,035.05
Hersey Meters Company of Cleveland, NC $4,937.00.

This purchase is for flow meters that will be used to replace the existing
meters in the inflow vaults that measure the Wastewater flowing into the
Wastewater Reclamation Plant. These flow rates are then used to
determine the infiltration of collection lines during a rain event. This
type of meter is installed above the wastewater flow and can be removed
and maintained without confined space entry by maintenance personnel
after initial installation. This is the latest flow technology and Marsh-
McBirney, Inc is a sole source manufacturer and supplier. This is the only
flow unit that eliminates the hazardous entry into the confined spaces for
repair and maintenance. The Flo -Dar open channel radar/velocity flow
meter is the only flow meter in the United States that utilizes advanced
radar velocity sensor technology with ultrasonic pulse echo level sensing
remotely to measure open channel flow. Staff recommended that the
proposal from Macauley Controls be accepted for the purchase of five flow
meters and accessories.

A copy of the Purchase Order is filed with Resolution No. 2002-R0333.
This bid is for the purchase of 5,100 linear feet of 36-inch pipe and fittings
to be used in the Effluent Management Project. This pipe, along with
13,900 feet of that previously ordered, will be used to connect Jones Power
Plant with the Valve Station at US 84 and FM 835. This will allow stream
discharge of treated effluent at the same time water is being sent to the
Lubbock Land Application Site and the Hancock Land Application Site.
The project will be complete by December 2002 and placed into operation
immediately thereafter. These items are necessary to comply with
TNRCC's instructions to reduce the amount of water applied to the City of
Lubbock's land application sites and allow simultaneous use of all effluent
disposal options.
The low bid is $258,827 from Hanson Pipe & Products of Grand Prairie,
Texas and is within the HLAS System Improvements budget.
With one exception, staff recommended award of each bid to the bidder as
indicated on the tab sheets and award of each contract as shown on the
resolutions and that the Mayor be authorized to execute all documents
necessary for each transaction. That exception is item #57, more
specifically the one-half ton pickup bid. While the documents are prepared

Mayor McDougal opened the public hearing at 4:30 p.m. No one appeared
in opposition. Mayor McDougal closed the hearing at 4:31 p.m.
The proposal is to zone a parcel sandwiched between two church sites along
Indiana and west of the new Lubbock Cooper school site on 1081h Street.
Adjacent land uses:
North — church
South — vacant, zoned A-2 for a church
East — public school
West — Indiana, with residential to the west
The request is reasonably consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use
Plan policies in that AM is considered a buffer district versus true
commercial. The request is a minor change to the current Plan. With the
surrounding uses described above, future development of the parcel as
single family residential would be difficult.
Regarding zoning policy, development on the site will meet AM standards.
The only stated use for a portion of the property at present is a child-care
center. Future development is targeted to include professional offices. The
staff would state for the record that professional office and medical (AM
and GO) are good buffer districts adjacent to thoroughfares, but should not
be considered a stepping- stone to full commercial zoning at a future date.
The project will have little effect on the thoroughfare system. Indiana will
be a seven -lane street when fully constructed.
The Planning Commission recommended approval of the request along with
a minor change for the Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
Randy Henson, Senior Planner, presented staff comments.

The request would use the parcel of land isolated at I Vh Place and West
Loop 289 surrounded on the north and west by the Jefferson Commons
student apartment complex for an office of a credit union. Savings and loan
office is an entry in the Specific Use section of AM.
Adjacent land uses:
North — apartments
South — office development (proposed)
East — Loop 289
West — apartments
The request is consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. The
current Plan illustrates high density residential for the parcel, AM is
included within the group of zone districts considered buffer versus full
commercial.
The site plan illustrates an ATM adjacent to Frankford with an approximate
12-foot setback, versus the usual 15-foot minimum in AM. The proposed
location should not create a visual obstruction for traffic, Frankford is
entering a one-way Loop access road at this location and the ATM is
"downstream" of the intersection.
The request is consistent with zoning policies and should have no effect on
the thoroughfare system.

Adjacent land use:

The request is consistent with the policy within the Comprehensive Land
Use Plan to use apartments as a buffer and locate them adjacent to major
thoroughfares. In this instance, the apartments will buffer an existing power
substation from the adjacent residential to the north and west. The request
is a minor change to the current Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
The developer of the property will propose an adjustment of the preliminary
plat to accommodate the apartment complex. How he chooses to buffer the
project will have several alternatives. The project will meet zoning
requirements when it is constructed. The area to the south is single family,
and one owner objected to the introduction of apartments. As designed, the
complex will have a limited exposure to IIth Place, with an approximate
seventy-five foot setback. The Commission discussed the appropriateness
of a solid screening fence on the I Ith Place front because of the objection
from the resident on 12th Street. The fencing on the west, north and east is
proposed as wrought iron with brick pillars.
Milwaukee is in the process of upgrade to a seven -lane street. As a result,
the apartment complex will have very little effect on the overall
thoroughfare system.
The Planning Commission recommended approval of this request along
with a minor change for the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and two
conditions:
1. A solid screening fence shall be installed on 11 th Place with the
proper vision triangle cut off at Monticello.
2. A wrought iron/brick pier fence may be located on the rest of the
perimeter on the property line with proper vision triangle cut-offs.

The alley north of this parcel is the south boundary of the current AM
Policy District as amended from the original 23rd Street location about ten
years ago. That expansion was the result of a land use study that indicated
that the original policy district was not physically built out but that a
majority of the lots were owned by an individual. The expansion of the
policy district was to encourage additional conversion of the residential area
to medical in support of the two hospitals.
Subsequent to the adjustment of the district to the alley south of 24th, both
hospitals built office towers and lured many of the potential freestanding
clinic occupants. The result was a dead market for a number of years, and
only recently has there been an increase in freestanding clinic construction.
"Policy districts" are used in several areas of the City that are in transition
from one use to another. When the trend of transition is inevitable and the
proposed future uses are an asset to the community, the Commission and
Council attempt to relate to the public that the area is destined for change by
adopting a "policy district' that is illustrated on the Comprehensive Land
Use Plan. Other policy districts include areas adjacent to I-27 and the area
east of Slide across from South Plains Mall. Having "policy" areas versus
wholesale zone changes allows pockets that are still residential to maintain
their correct zoning and not have appraisal or title implications. At the
same time the general public is put on notice of the potential for transition.
As noted, the parcel under discussion is just outside the current AM Policy
District. Thus, discussion for this case should hinge on the individual
merits of suitability and the probability of single family being developed on
this parcel that has been vacant for many years.
As a buffer district, the AM proposal is not a serious deviation from the
concept of the Comprehensive Plan and normally does not have a
deleterious effect on the adjacent residential. In this instance, the resident
owner of the lot on 25th owns the property and is requesting the change.
The potential buyer is a dentist. As noted, the property to the north (which
is still residential) is within the AM Policy District and is eligible for
rezoning. The mail -out did not produce any negative comments from
adjacent property owners and no individual appeared during the hearing.
Any development would correspond to AM development standards. The
project should have no effect on the thoroughfare system.

AND PROVIDING FOR PUBLICATION.
Mayor McDougal opened the public hearing at 4:30 p.m. No one appeared
in opposition. Mayor McDougal closed the hearing at 4:31 p.m.
The request would downzone the current C2A (light commercial) to R-2
(duplex) lots. The strip of C2A zoning away from the thoroughfare
(University) has not been successful as was originally anticipated.
Adjacent land uses:
North — commercial and residential
South residential
East residential
West light commercial zoning
The request represents a minor change to the Comprehensive Land Use
Plan, which continues to indicate single family residential at this site. The
Plan has not been adjusted in this vicinity in conjunction with previous zone
cases for commercial. As a side note, the Planning staff is in the process of
an update of the Land Use Element using GIS technology, and will include
small areas as this that are not consistent with current zoning.
As duplex units, the compatibility of the project being adjacent to
commercial will be an issue for the owner. Normally, duplex tenants are
not as sensitive to adjacent uses as single-family residents. The duplex
development should have less effect on the existing single family to the
south than would C-2A development. The lots have been vacant since the
plat was recorded and folks in that area may be pleased to not be looking at
the weeds.
The proposal will have no effect on the thoroughfare system.
Randy Henson, Senior Planner, presented staff comments.
Staff recommended approval of this ordinance.

The request would rezone the property from R-1 to R-1 Specific Use for
garden homes with a twenty -foot front setback for all lots and a five-foot
side setback for the lots on Vicksburg at 103`d and 105th Streets. Parcels to
the north along Vicksburg have already been zoned in the same manner.
Adjacent land use in all directions is residential.
As residential, the garden homes are simply a style of single family. The
proposal is consistent with both the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and
zoning policy. An adjacent owner questioned the square footage of the
proposed homes and seemed satisfied with the answer by the proponent.
The proposal will have no effect on the thoroughfare system.
The Planning Commission recommended approval of the request with one
condition:
• A twenty -foot front setback shall be minimum and a five-foot side
setback shall be allowed for the lots adjacent to 103`d Street and
1051h Street.

The request would rezone the lots along the future Chicago from single
family to duplex zoning. The proposed duplex lots are part of an overall
plat being developed by the proponent of this request. The proposed zoning
will allow duplex, town home or garden home development.
Adjacent land uses are residential in all directions.
The request is consistent with both the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and
zoning policy. The proposal should not affect the thoroughfare system.
The Planning Commission recommended approval of the request with a
condition:
• A twenty -foot front setback shall be allowed for duplex units and a
five-foot setback shall be allowed for any non -garage portion of
structure on full or partial cul-de-sacs.
Note: If the garden home or town home option is chosen, a fifteen -foot
setback for non -garage portions of structures is permitted by Code.

Mayor McDougal opened the public hearing at 4:30 p.m. No one appeared
in opposition. Mayor McDougal closed the hearing at 4:31 p.m.
The objective of the church for a zone change is to be able to use the
development standards of the A-2 district versus the current IHC standards,
setback primarily. The church is already a permitted use in the IHC so the
use of the property is not an issue. Several adjacent property owners in the
vicinity have expressed a concern for the proposed use but may not know
that the use is already permissible.
Adjacent land uses:
North
— single family
South
— commercial
East —
commercial adjacent to I-27
West —
Lowery field
The proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. With
regard to zoning policy, the change to accommodate the different set back
should not be an issue. The project should have no appreciable effect on the
thoroughfare system.
Subsequent to the Commission meeting, the proponent has agreed to request
a fifty -foot setback from the 66`h Street property line because of the single
family residential north of 661h Street. The Council will need to add that as
a condition since it was not discussed during the Planning Commission
hearing.
The Planning Commission recommended approval of the request subject to
one condition:
• Limited to church and church related uses.
Randy Henson, Senior Planner, presented staff comments.

USE TO GO SPECIFIC USE ZONING ON TRACT A, MEADOWGREEN

SAVINGS CLAUSE AND PROVIDING FOR PUBLICATION.
Mayor McDougal opened the public hearing at 4:30 p.m. No one appeared
in opposition. Mayor McDougal closed the hearing at 4:31 p.m.
The proposal is to rezone a parcel now zoned as C-4 Specific Use for
manufactured home sales lot to Garden Office with a Specific Use permit to
address several development related issues.
Adjacent land uses:
North — an AM Specific Use case for a credit union presented at this
meeting and apartments
South — residential
East — Loop 289
West — residential (being developed by the same owner)
The proposal is consistent with the objectives stated within the
Comprehensive Land Use Plan for buffer projects. Prior to the
manufactured home sales lot, the parcel was zoned A-1 limited to town
homes.
With regard to zoning policies, the Specific Use Permit will accommodate
several items that are distinguished from normal GO standards:
• "Zero" setback on a small portion of 1lt" Place and the Loop service
road.
• A four -foot brick fence on the front property line versus the 30
inches normally allowed within the front setback.
• A corner identification sign built into the fence for the complex as
well as a face change on the existing commercial size/height sign
(with a face change to identify tenants). Normally, in Garden
Office, a maximum sign height of ten feet is permitted. At this
location, the request should not create an issue.
• Parking as outlined on the site plan, and a storage basement under
the proposed garage for which no additional parking is provided.
The staff has worked with Mr. Wilson to maximize his use of the property
with the objective of having a quality project on this corner. The soon to be
former sales lot had a residential feel although it was a commercial
enterprise. The GO district is a buffer, and the zone case is a down zone.
With the design of the proposed driveways, the impact of the development
on adjacent streets should be the least possible.
Randy Henson, Senior Planner, presented staff comments.

PROVIDING FOR PUBLICATION.
Mayor McDougal opened the public hearing at 4:30 p.m. No one appeared
in opposition. Mayor McDougal closed the hearing at 4:31 p.m.
The request will accommodate commercial development at 114`h and
Frankford as well as a buffer area around that corner and a buffer area
within the interior adjacent to an existing church site.
Adjacent land use is primarily vacant in all directions.
The request is consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and
zoning policies. The R-2 portions are styled as Specific Use to
accommodate a 20-foot front setback and a five-foot front setback on any
future full or partial cul-de-sacs. This twenty -foot setback is becoming
customary in R-1 and R-2. During the hearing the proponent amended the
request for a portion of the buffer west of the C-3 site to be R-1 Specific
Use for garden homes. This was in agreement with a request of property
owners south of 1141h Street.
The proposal should have no more effect on the thoroughfare system than
expected for a development this size.
The Planning Commission recommended the request with two proposed
conditions:
1. Site plan review by the Planning Commission on the C-3 site prior
to a construction permit.
2. In the R-2 Specific Use areas a twenty -foot front setback will be
allowed and a five-foot front setback will be allowed for any non -
garage portions of structure on full or partial cul-de-sac lots.

Page 130
Adjacent land uses:
North — 82" d Street and residential
South — residential
East — vacant
West — church
The proposal is reasonably consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use
Plan. The current and adjacent A-2 church zoning has diminished the
potential of the parcel for single-family development. The garden office
parcel will be adjacent to 82"d and Avenue U and the A-1 parcel will have
access to Avenue U, which is a collector.
Future development will meet zoning standards. A standard of A-1 that will
benefit the single family to the south is that a fifty -foot setback from the
property line is required if a two-story structure is constructed.
The project should have little effect on the thoroughfare system.

(81.) Hold a public hearing on the proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2002-03
for the City of Lubbock.
Mayor McDougal opened the public hearing at 5:10 p.m. After City
Manager Bob Cass and ten (10) citizens spoke, Mayor McDougal closed the
hearing at 5:45 p.m.
A public hearing was posted and notices published as required by state law
to allow taxpayers an opportunity to comment on the proposed FY 2002-03
budget. The public hearing was scheduled for 5:00 p.m. on Thursday,
August 29, 2002.
The budget was filed with the City Secretary's Office as required by state
law and also made available for public review at the City Libraries.
The proposed budget complies with all legal requirements and all
mandatory notices have been published.
No property tax rate increase is proposed; it remains at 57 cents per $100
valuation. Total net assessed valuation as certified by the Lubbock Central
Appraisal District is $7,342,344,867 representing a 6.3% increase over last
year's total net assessed valuation.
General Fund expenditures are projected to be $93,841,040. This represents
an increase of $2,051,519 or 2.23% over the 2001-02 original budget.

The Community Investment Fund, established in FY 1998-99, will again
receive 1 % of gross revenues from those Enterprise Funds that benefit from
community growth, Electric, Water, Sewer and Solid Waste. Additionally,
the Solid Waste Fund will contribute an additional enhanced contribution of
$1 million to the Community Investment Fund. The Community
Investment Fund is a separate fund that will be used for economic
development projects as approved by Council. At the end of each fiscal
year transfers will be made subject to any extraordinary events that might
require the funds to be used to meet operating requirements. Annual review
will be conducted by the City Manager prior to the transfer to assure that
the transfer to the Community Investment Fund does not jeopardize the
integrity of the contributing operating funds.
This year, as last year, the General Fund will contribute one penny on the
property tax instead of 1 % of gross receipts.
Changes proposed to the FY 02-03 Proposed Budget since the budget was
last discussed on August 7, 2002 will be covered by separate transmittal
from the Mayor and City Manager.
The public hearing allows for citizen comment on the FY 2002-03 budget.
After closing the public hearing on the budget, the Council action items for
today are:
The first readings of ordinances adopting the budget and setting and levying
the tax rate;
The first reading of ordinance changing Water Rates;
The first reading of ordinance changing Sewer Rates.
City Manager Bob Cass gave an overview of the proposed amendments for
the Fiscal Year 2002-2003 proposed budget.
A). Ysidro Gutierrez, West Texas Organizing Strategies (WTOS),
introduced representatives of the organization. WTOS represents
twenty-five institutions and organizations in Lubbock. April 14,
2002, WTOS held an assembly with 1,200 delegates and laid out an
agenda for the organization. As citizens of the community, they
believe the city budget should reflect those priorities, such as the
importance of young people, family and quality of life. He also
spoke concerning the safety of citizens and stated police sub stations
should be in the neighborhoods.
B) Billie Russell with WTOS spoke concerning reduction in hours for
the public libraries. She stated the budget should reflect .the
restoration of the regular hours to serve the needs of families. Ms.
Russell also commented
C) Lupe Stochausen with WTOS spoke concerning two issues:
1) adequate resources to maintain the parks and public
facilities, including playground equipment and grass and
trees. She addressed the issue of the park across from Arnett
Elementary School. This park faces the access road to Loop
289 and has no fence creating a serious safety issue.
Council Member Patterson also felt it was crucial to take
care of this. Mayor McDougal stated he had asked Randy
Truesdell, Parks and Recreation Manager, to look into this
matter. Council Member Hernandez also stated he has had
staff checking into this matter for two to three months.
2) The second issue is the raising user fees. She stated that as
taxpayers we pay for our parks and other city owned public
facilities, such as neighborhood centers and swimming pools.
The user fees (which are so exorbitant) suggest that we pay
for the facilities twice. Any user fee should be what the
working family of Lubbock can afford to pay.
131
Regular City Council Meeting
August 29, 2002
Page 132
D) Billie Russell again spoke concerning the after school programs.
Funds should be included in the city budget, perhaps through Parks
and Recreation. WTOS has been told to apply to Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) for after school programs funds.
Ms. Russell expressed she feels this is ludicrous. These programs
are crime prevention and should be invested in.
E) Patty Vannoy, Chair of Lubbock Ambucs Joint Project Board,
together with members of all three Ambucs Clubs, expressed
appreciation for the help with the Ambucs Hub City Playground
located at Maxey Park. She wanted to thank the City Council for
their help and stated Randy Truesdell, Parks and Recreation and
Corbin Pemberton, Community Projects Manager were to be
commended for all the assistance they provided.
F) Carolyn Kennedy, Chair of the Lubbock Libraries Board, requested
the library budget be expanded. We need more employees (need
more positions) and more libraries. She thanked City Manager, Bob
Cass, for the two positions in the budget. Cutting hours and net loss
of ten positions have impacted many areas: service to the
community, availability of the hours opened and staff morale.
Although libraries have streamlined in many ways, but employees
are receiving longer hours, night and weekends. She stated they
could not ask for longer hours to be open. She talked about Mahon
being an old building, do they remodel or rebuild. One of the major
things businesses ask when thinking about locating in Lubbock is do
the libraries have up-to-date materials in quantities sufficient to the
population, are they open the hours the public demands, and can
they offer exceptional customer service.
G) Beth George, President of the Friends of the Library, heartedly
seconded Carolyn Kennedy brought before Council referencing
adding the two positions. She addressed the importance of
increasing the book budget to bring current materials into the
library. She stated the proposed budget, including book materials, is
for $550,000 and she requested this amount for the next year and
consider a 3% increase for future years to allow for dynamic growth
of the library's collection.
H) David Delamar, Chair of Libertarian Party, asked Council to take a
look at property and sales tax revenue. He also discussed that
entertainment projects are adding money to the budget and taxes are
going up. He suggested if we are supposed to be conservative to
start voting conservatively. Mr. Delamar also stated our police and
fire department should be the best paid in the state, not middle of the
pack.
I) Ray Allen, General Manager of BFI of West Texas, mentioned that
he had heard the City was going to charge a fee to the private
haulers (3`d party haulers) and asked if it was built into this budget.
He was told it was not. Mr. Allen requested being heard if
this item was to be put on the agenda. City Manager Bob Cass
stated there had been no action taken on this item nor any direction
from the Council, as you define direction as a vote by the Council
to do that. Mr. Cass asked the staff to visit with the haulers to get
the information they would like to convey to the City and then bring
it back to Council on a work session item.
J) Russell King, Lubbock County Libertarian Party, spoke concerning
the budget. He stated the following: For the past several years his
party has spoken before Council and feel this is a lesson in futility as
nothing ever happens. Things go on the same. Although we have
new faces, Council still wants to spend every dime they have.
Council needs to prioritize such as paying its employees well, a
living wage and deserving wage for what they do.
132
Regular City Council Meeting
August 29, 2002
Page 133
He spoke against taking taxpayers' money for all the economic
development and then thinking about cutting the Star Program. He
urged the Council to stand up and do something for the people.
K) Mikel Ward, SPARTAN, compared what city government can do as
opposed to an individual doing the same.
She stated that utilities keep going up and hurting people who can't
afford to pay and then we divert part of this increase into the
Community Investment Fund. She thinks this is an unwise use of
money. She feels that the priorities are wrong. She thinks it is
wrong to be spending money on things that the public has never
approved of and in fact voted against.
Next item to be considered was Item 87.

The City of Lubbock Charter requires two reading of ordinances. This is
the first reading of the ordinance adopting and levying a tax rate for the City
of Lubbock for Fiscal Year 2002-03. The budget ordinance must be
considered first, followed by the ordinance adopting and levying a tax rate.
The ordinance will be placed on the Tuesday, September 17, Council
agenda for the second reading and adoption of the budget.
The proposed rate is 57 cents per S 100 valuation, based on a certified net
taxable value of $7,342,344,867 as submitted by the Chief Appraiser of the
Lubbock Central Appraisal District. The tax rate is distributed as follows:
Debt Service $0.10796
General Fund M&O $0.43204
Economic Development $0.03000
Staff recommended approval of this ordinance.
Motion was made by Council Member Cooke, seconded by Council

(84.) Ordinance No. 2002-00097 amending Chapter 28 of the Code of
Ordinances of the City of Lubbock, Texas with regards to rates
charged for water services (first reading).
ORDINANCE NO. 2002-00097
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 28 OF THE CODE OF
ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF LUBBOCK, TEXAS, BY AMENDING
SECTIONS 28-52 AND 28-53 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY
OF LUBBOCK BY REVISING WATER RATES AS CONTAINED THEREIN:
PROVIDING A SAVING CLAUSE AND PROVIDING FOR PUBLICATION.
Each year the City of Lubbock evaluates the revenue projections as well as
operating and capital requirements of the Water Fund based on a ten-year
rate model.
Based on our budget discussions last year, Council approved four
consecutive 3.0% increases in water rates. Since that time, several issues
have arisen and additional projects have been identified that have since
changed our projections.
New projects in the water fund include: expanded billing project
($500,000), major water line replacements ($2,850,000), LAH recreational
developments ($600,000), PS#10 reservoir replacement ($3,500,000), and
Tyco ($300,000).
Based on the financial goals set forth in our financial policy and the projects
listed above, staff has determined that in addition to the four years of 3%
increase currently approved for water rates, that a 3.0% increase would also
be necessary October 1, 2005. To determine the need for any future rate
increases, revenues and expenses will continue to be reviewed annually to
determine the appropriate level of increase that is required.
Staff recommended approval of this ordinance.
Council Member Martin stated that the rate was higher for homeowners
than apartment dwellers and thought this should be looked at. Therefore,
Council requested City Manager Bob Cass to provide more information
with regards to rates charged for water services for the next meeting.
Motion was made by Council Member Martin, seconded by Council

ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF LUBBOCK BY REVISING SEWER RATES AS
CONTAINED THEREIN: PROVIDING A SAVING CLAUSE AND PROVIDING
FOR PUBLICATION.
Each year the City of Lubbock evaluates the revenue projections as well as
operating and capital requirements of the Sewer Fund based on a ten-year
rate model.
Based on our budget discussions last year, Council approved four
consecutive 2.0% increases in sewer rates. Since that time, several issues
have arisen and additional projects have been identified that have since
changed our projections, specifically TNRCC requirements.
New projects in the sewer fund include: major sewer line replacements
($750,000), stream discharge ($400,000), land application operational
changes ($350,000), and expanded billing project ($200,000).
After extensive review of various scenarios using the 10-year rate model,
staff has determined that four 5.0% increases would be necessary effective
October 1, 2002. This series of rate increases would supersede the series
that approved last year. To determine the need for any future rate increases,
revenues and expenses will continue to be reviewed annually to determine
the appropriate level of increase that is required.
Staff recommended approval of this ordinance.

This item was considered following Item 79.
At the May 9, 2002, City Council work session, Max Tarbox, of the
Lubbock Housing Authority (LHA) Board, requested that the City Council
consider waiving the Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) fees currently
owed to the City of Lubbock by the Housing Authority and that the Council
consider waiving all future PILOT fees. PILOT fees are assessed to the
Housing Authority to cover the costs of City services that would normally
be paid for through property taxes.
The LHA, which is primarily funded by grants from the federal
government, provides housing and supportive services to Lubbock families
with very low incomes. Without this housing, many of these families
would be living in overcrowded, dilapidated structures or possibly could be
homeless. The Housing Authority staff runs several programs including the
Drug Elimination Program, the Self -Sufficiency Program, and the Parents
as Teachers Program. Each of these programs focuses on breaking the
cycle of poverty; striving to help the participants to become financially self-
sufficient. Through the provision of both the low cost rental housing and
the supportive services the LHA does provide a public benefit to the
citizens of Lubbock.
Tommy Gonzales, Assistant City Manager, gave a briefing on this matter
Staff supports Council's decision to waive $132,000 currently owed in
PILOT fees only. Staff does not support waiving the $32,000 in PILOT
fees that will be owed for the fiscal year 2002-2003.
Motion was made by Council Member Martin, seconded by Council
Member Hernandez not to waive the $32,000 for the coming fiscal year and
that it be dedicated to general revenue. Motion carried: 7 Yeas, 0 Nays.
Motion was made by Council Member Patterson, seconded by Council
Member Cooke, that the value from the steel fence being delivered would
equate the amount of the taxes and we should waive the $132,000 and
designate the said waived amount as a match for the City's Home Program.

After some discussion of the motion, Council Member Morrison stated he
had not been clear on the motion and stated he would like to vote Yea.
Council accepted this vote making the vote 7-0.
Motion was made by Council Member Morrison, seconded by Council
Member Patterson to reconsider the motion on $132,000 taxes. Motion

A copy of the Lease Agreement is filed with Resolution No. 2002-R0343.
This item was considered following Item 53.
The Parks and Recreation Department fulfills its mission by serving as a
provider of public recreation services. This includes promoting the use of
department facilities by other public agencies to deliver their services and
entering into cooperative relationships with community groups and agencies
to jointly provide services.
Since 1998, the George Woods center has been leased to and operated by
the Housing Authority of the City of Lubbock. Due to a reduction in grant
funding, the Housing Authority can no longer operate the facility. The
Lubbock Regional Mental Health Mental Retardation Center (MHMR)
made a request to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board on June 25,
2002 to lease the George Woods Community Center. The Parks Board
recommended the approval of their request.
MHMR plans to develop a Neighborhood Involvement Center offering the
following services:
• Youth Prevention Program
Provides alternative activities for children and youth ages 10 to 14.
The purpose of the program is to teach young people methods for
avoiding high -risk behaviors.
• Day Habilitation (Children's Activities)
Day Habilitation services provide support to children and
adolescents in the areas of developing self-help, social, and other
skills to successfully take part in home and community. Services
are offered after school, Saturdays and during the summers.
• Neighborhood Involvement
Community based program that provides a safe haven for youth to
access activities, healthy role models and supportive services.
• Supported Home Living
Supported Home Living is provided for children and adolescents
living in their own home and/or with other caregivers. This service
may include training and support necessary for the child to complete
personal care and independent living tasks. Supported Home Living
also helps develop and improve community living skills.
Potential Benefits to the City of Lubbock:
• An annual cost avoidance of $56,500 for operations and $13,800 for
utilities and janitorial services.
• Allows for use of limited City resources to enhance quality of other
programs.
• Creates an increase in the use of existing resources.
• Provides services for special needs of cultural/ethnic groups, youth
at risk and senior services.
• Promotes participation of other service providers in planning,
implementation and evaluation of recreational services and facilities.
Key elements of the proposed agreement include:
• Term is for five years.
• MHMR will provide administration, staff and resources to conduct
programs.
• MHMR will be responsible for all utilities, maintenance and repairs
of the building.

The Dunbar Manhattan Heights Neighborhood Association (DMHNA) has
requested to lease the Mae Simmons Outreach building located at 2300
Weber Drive. The DMHNA made the request to the Parks and Recreation
Advisory Board on March 28, 2000. At that time the building was vacant
and in need of renovations. The Parks Board recommended approval of a
lease agreement after the building was renovated and the DMHNA obtained
their non-profit status. The completion date for the renovations of the
building was March 1, 2002. The cost to renovate the building was
$120,000. Funding was from a combination of Community Development
Block Grant Funding and Capital Project Funds. The DMHNA received
their notice of non-profit status on July 1, 2002. Therefore, the requests
made by the Parks Board have been met by the DMHNA.
The purpose of the DMHNA is to seek community recognition and
understanding of the needs of their neighborhood and stimulate interest and
participation in meeting those needs; to inform, educate, and provide an
open forum for the free discussion of all issues which affect our
neighborhood, protect its environment, and prevent and/or restore its
physical deterioration; to preserve our historical heritage, nurture and
protect our families, support and strengthen our schools, churches and
businesses; to provide a means of more effectively communicating with one
another.
The DMHNA plans to offer recreational programs for youth and seniors at
the Mae Simmons Outreach Center. They plan to provide classes for crafts
activities and educational programs to promote healthy lifestyles. The Mae
Simmons Outreach Center will also be used as a meeting place for other
non-profit groups.
Potential Benefits to the City of Lubbock:
• An annual cost avoidance of $34,000 for maintenance and
operations of the facility.
• Allows for the use of limited City resources to enhance quality of
other programs.
• Creates an increase in the use of existing resources.
• Promotes participation with a neighborhood association in planning,
implementation and evaluation of recreational services and facilities.
Key elements of the proposed agreement include:

A copy of the Agreement is filed with Resolution No. 2002-R0334.
This item was considered following Item 67.
This item was reconsidered following Item No. 88.
APCOA/Standard Parking has managed the operation of the public parking
lot at Lubbock International Airport since 1997. The initial term of the
automobile parking concession agreement between APCOA and the City
of Lubbock expired May 31, 2002, and staff is currently operating on a
month -to -month holdover basis through August 31, 2002. This item
involves the approval of a Management Agreement, under which
APCOA/Standard Parking will continue to operate the parking facilities
while staff study the possibility of developing a new terminal parking
garage at the airport.
The new facility would place covered parking immediately adjacent to the
terminal building, thus eliminating the need for a shuttle bus operation.
The garage would also include FAA -mandated blast protection for the
terminal building, which would eliminate the need for vehicle inspections at
the entrance to the short-term lot. The new parking facility would
significantly reduce operating costs, and greatly improve the service that
staff offers to patrons of the airport.
The development of a parking facility would significantly change the
business structure between LIA and its parking concession operator.
Accordingly, it would be impractical to issue Request for Proposals (RFP)
until after a decision has been made regarding construction of the facility.
To get through this interim period, staff has negotiated with
APCOA/Standard Parking to operate the facility at cost for a period of up
to two years. APCOA has advised us that under the prior agreement, they
were losing money, a claim that has been validated by the City's internal
auditor. While APCOA is under no obligation to continue operating at a
144
Regular City Council Meeting
August 29, 2002
Page 145
loss, they have offered to manage the facility at cost so that they can keep
their position in the market until the RFP is issued. The advantage to the
City is that staff could continue the parking operation without disruption as
staff studies the parking facility project. Staff also believes that it would be
impossible to find anyone else to operate the facility at cost during this
interim period.
The attached agreement is in the form of a management contract that is
standard for the industry, with one exception —the management fee for this
agreement has been established as $1 per year. The remaining provisions
define allowable costs and provide a mechanism for auditing APCOA's
expenditures.
The agreement has been reviewed by the City's internal auditor to ensure
that it is a "cost -only" agreement.
Mark Earle, Director of Aviation, presented staff comments. Todd McKee,
a member of the Airport Board, was also present for questions.
Herman Boatmun, Internal Auditor, was asked about findings of an audit
that went back five years. He stated APCOA had over reported revenue for
August of 1999 creating an underpayment, which was a preliminary
finding. Payments were also over reported. He verified this with APCOA's
Accounting Director and outside auditors, Ernst & Young. It was
determined that the amount was a duplicate of April and May of 1999 and
they had over reported the revenue.
Staff recommended approval of this resolution.
Motion was made by Council Member Boren, seconded by Council
Member Hernandez that the City Attorney conduct a full audit and review
of the APCOA contract with the City of Lubbock/LIA for the past five
years. The individuals involved with that audit would be the external
auditors of Robinson & Burdette, Mr. Boatmun, City Internal Auditor and
Todd McKee, incoming Chair of the Citizens Board of the Airport Board.
Also, that the contract continue on a month -to -month basis.
Motion was made by Council Member Martin to amend the motion of
Council Member Boren to add an entire audit of the entire airport operation
in addition to auditing just this particular issue. There was no second.
City Manager Cass mentioned drawing up a new one -month extension and
acting on that, basically giving us a month (assuming APCOA would accept
it). This could be drawn up and brought back after the budget hearing.
Council could act on that and that would give us a month having a
contractor out there and give the City Attorney, the external auditor and Mr.
McKee and the Airport Board a look at the questions on this specific issue.
City Attorney Anita Burgess suggested if they chose to follow City
Manager Cass' recommendation, Council could lay this on the table and
come back later in this meeting and take it off the table. They could look
at it again and pass if they chose or consider an alternative means, i.e. a
month -to -month.
Council Member Hernandez suggested amending the motion to include City

The item was considered following Item 88.
Bleacher's Sports Cafe at the northeast corner of 18`h Street and Buddy
Holly Avenue were granted a street -use license by the City Council on May
23 (Resolution No. 2002-R0207). The license allows the business to
utilize 8 feet of the east right-of-way of Buddy Holly Avenue adjacent to
the west side of their building for balcony and street level dining areas.
During building plan review, the Fire Marshal determined that an additional
point of ingress/egress from the second floor was needed because of
additional occupancy load. Bleacher's added a stairway from the balcony to
the ground level in the north portion of the licensed area. This stairway
encroaches an additional 1.5 feet into the east right-of-way of Buddy Holly
Avenue. They also added an iron railing along the west side of the stairway
and their ground level dining area extending 1.5 foot beyond the licensed
area for a total width of 9.5 feet.
The total additional street area to be occupied by this resolution amendment
will be 84 sq. ft. That will be 1.5 feet by 40 feet on the west side of the
existing license and 3 feet by 8 feet on the north portion of the original
license. This street -use license amendment will be under the same terms of
the original license, which has a term of twenty years, payable every five
years in advance. The City will receive $16.80 per year or $84.00 for each
five-year period in addition to what staff is receiving for the original
license.
The additional licensed area still leaves the entire brick -paved sidewalk free
for pedestrian traffic.
Ed Bucy, Right -of -Way Agent, presented staff comments.
Staff recommended approval of this resolution.

ORDINANCE NO.2002-00080
AN ORDINANCE ADDING A NEW SECTION 24-41 TO THE CODE OF
ORINANCES OF THE CITY OF LUBBOCK, TEXAS, NAMING A PROPOSED
STREET TO BE CONSTRUCTED WEST AND NORTH FROM SLIDE ROAD AT
37TH STREET TO ITS INTERSECTION WITH MARSHA SHARP FREEWAY;
PROVIDING A SAVINGS CLAUSE; AND PROVIDING FOR PUBLICATION.
This item was considered following Item 90.
Jimmy Dirks is an architect representing City Bank. City Bank is proposin
to dedicate and construct a new street extending from Slide Road (at 37t
Street) westward, and curving northward to intersect the new frontage road
location of the Marsha Sharp Freeway. The Bank is proposing this street to
improve access and traffic circulation to their site once the one-way
frontage roads are built.
The Bank is requesting a special street name for this new street. They want
to name it "City Bank Parkway". This proposed street name does not
conform to the method of naming streets in the Code.
The concerns of the staff include:
1. Setting a precedent for special street names for any new streets in
the future.
2. Recognition of a special named short street by emergency personnel,
and the public, in locating abutting businesses or other properties.
3. Naming a street for a Bank or any other business.
A copy of the letter of request from Mr. Dirks, and a map indicating the
proposed street is included in the backup.
Larry Hertel, City Engineer, presented staff comments.
Staff does not recommend changes to the current method of naming streets.
Council Member Hernandez wanted the record to reflect there are some
distinctions — this is not renaming a street, this is a different situation.
Motion was made by Council Member Patterson, seconded by Council
Member Martin to pass on first reading Ordinance No. 2002-00093.
Motion carried: 7 Yeas, 0 Nays.
Next item to be considered was Item 95.
(93.) Ordinance No. 2002-00093 revising Article II of Chapter 21 of the
Code of Ordinances pertaining to Flood Hazard Areas in the City of
Lubbock (first reading).
ORDINANCE NO. 2002-00093
WHEREAS, the flood hazard areas of the City of Lubbock, Texas are subject to
periodic inundation which results in loss of life and property, health and safety hazards,
disruption of commerce and governmental services, and extraordinary public
expenditures for flood protection and relief, all of which adversely affect the public
health, safety and general welfare;
This item was considered following Item 91.
Over 5'h years ago the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
indicated their intention to re -study the City of Lubbock Flood Insurance
Rate Map (FIRM), and combine them with maps of the other communities
in the county to generate countywide maps. Over 4 years ago, FEMA
started the process with a meeting of the communities in Lubbock County.
The City staff has reviewed the preliminary maps and accompanying
information at length, and made extensive comments in trying to obtain the
best product possible. FEMA has set the effective date of the new FIRM as
September 18, 2002. These new maps were prepared for FEMA by an
engineering consultant hired by FEMA.
"I:
Regular City Council Meeting
August 29, 2002

As a requirement for the City of Lubbock to be a part of the National Flood
Insurance Program (NFIP), certain Flood Hazard Area ordinances and
provisions have to be enacted. The City has been in the NFIP for nearly 30
years, beginning as an "Emergency Program" participant in the early 70's,
and entering into the "Regular Program " in 1982 when the first FIRM was
adopted. A community is required to participate in the NFIP for flood
insurance to be available to its citizens.
Over the years, the City has adopted various requirements mandated by
FEMA as part of inclusion in the NFIP, as well as some other requirements
more stringent than NFIP standards. By and large, the ordinance currently
under consideration is not significantly different than the ordinances
previously enacted. Some items have changed, some added, some deleted,
but basically the same, just some elaboration. There are a number of new
definitions, slight rewording, changing phrases, and several new additions
to sections, but all the changes are consistent with the original direction and
intent of the City participation in the NFIP.
This ordinance is being presented for revision due to a requirement from
FEMA as a part of the new FIRM that will become effective on September
18, 2002. Because of the kinds of changes to the FIRM, the City of
Lubbock is required to revise our ordinance to accommodate those map
changes.
Included in the backup are 2 copies of the ordinance. One shows the
finished document. The other underlines additions or revisions to the
existing ordinance.
Richard Burdine, Assistant City Manager, presented staff comments.
Staff recommended approval of this ordinance.

MISCELLANEOUS
(94.) Ordinance No. 2002-00094 conforming the City of Lubbock voting
precincts to state law population requirements due to changes in
population reported by the 2000 federal census and establishing new
voting places as required (first reading).
ORDINANCE NO. 2002-00094
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 8 OF THE CODE OF
ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF LUBBOCK, TEXAS, BY AMENDING THE
LANGUAGE OF SECTION 8-4 WITH REGARD TO VOTING PRECINCTS AND
VOTING PLACES AS REQUIRED BY STATE LAW DUE TO CHANGES IN
POPULATION MADE BY LUBBOCK COUNTY PURSUANT TO SECTION 42.006
("POPULATION REQUIREMENTS") OF THE STATE ELECTION CODE;
ESTABLISHING NEW POLLING PLACES FOR CERTAIN PRECINCTS;
CHANGING THE ASSIGNMENT OF VOTING PRECINCTS TO CITY COUNCIL
DISTRICTS TO REFLECT THE CHANGES MADE BY THIS ORDINANCE;
PROVIDING A MAP OF THE VOTING PRECINCTS AND DISTRICTS OF THE
CITY OF LUBBOCK; PROVIDING A SAVINGS CLAUSE; PROVIDING THAT
ALL PORTIONS OF CHAPTER 8 NOT AMENDED SHALL REMAIN THE SAME;
PROVIDING FOR PUBLICATION; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Many of the voting precincts within the City of Lubbock have grown
beyond the population permitted by the Election Code and others were
below the minimum requirements, so the City, Lubbock County and LISD
appointed a joint committee to study the changes necessary to bring them
back into compliance with state law.
149
Regular City Council Meeting

The revisions recommended by the joint committee were adopted by the
County Commissioners on March 20, 2002. The City's representatives on
the committee were Councilman Nelson, with the assistance of David
Buckberry, Becky Garza and Don Vandiver.
The revisions do not affect the City Council districts in any way, as none of
the revisions will move any persons from one district into another district.
However, due to the necessity of splitting some precincts to reduce
population, some new polling places had to be added, even though the total
number of precincts has been reduced due to combining several small
precincts together in some instances. Some precincts will continue to be
consolidated with other precincts for various reasons, such as no suitable
building or low voter turnout.
The City is required by Sec. 42.061 of the Election Code to follow County
voting precinct lines except where a city limits line intervenes. Also, the
County is required by law to honor the City's council district lines in
establishing new voting precincts.
New polling places include:
Precinct 119/Faith Temple. Distance from the geographic center of the
precinct to the previous polling place was 1.2 miles. Distance from the
geographic center to the new polling place is .1 mile. There were no
governmental buildings and this was deemed the best available non-
governmental public building.
Precinct 123/Waters Elementary School. Distance from the geographic
center of the precinct to the previous polling place was .8 mile. Distance
from the geographic center to the new polling place is .1 mile.
Precinct 124/Calvary Baptist Church. Distance from geographic center of
the precinct to the previous polling place was .3 mile. Distance from the
geographic center to the new polling place is .4 mile. There are no
governmental buildings available and new polling place is the only
available non-commercial building available.
Precinct 127/Grand Court Retirement Center. Distance from the
geographic center to previous polling place was .8 mile. Distance from the
geographic center to the new polling place is .1 mile. This location was
deemed the best available site and it has been used by Lubbock County
previously.
Precinct 129/South Plains Church of Christ. Distance from the
geographic center to the previous polling place was .8 mile. Distance from
the geographic center to the new polling place is .3 mile. There are no
governmental buildings and this is the only available public building.
Even though a lot of detail changes were made, they were all routine in
nature and consistent with what the City and County have done in the past
after each new federal census. These changes must be submitted to the U.S.
Justice Department before they can be implemented on January 1, 2003.
None of these should create a problem with the Justice Department.
Staff recommended approval of this ordinance.
Motion was made by Council Member Hernandez, seconded by Council
Member Boren to pass on first reading Ordinance No. 2002-00094 as
recommended by staff. Motion carried: 5 Yeas, 0 Nays.
