Lubbock Power & Light is not presently collecting actual costs to
process overdue bills, to reconnect services, and to disconnect services.
These items are presently covered under an existing ordinance. LP&L
needs the ability to more easily modify these charges as business
conditions warrant and believes the process could be better handled in
the future by resolutions rather than an ordinance.
LP&L recommended that the City Council repeal the ordinance and pass
a resolution to allow recovery of the actual costs.

The new utility billing system should be operational on June 11, 2001.
This system had several problems incorporating LP&L's existing electric
rates into its structure. The costs to modify the new systems billing
structure to include the existing rates were prohibitive. A more prudent
and economical approach was to modify LP&L's existing rates to work
within the structure of the new billing system. In particular, the new
system could not perform the following operations:
Add one percent franchise fee within the structure (modification). Base
_ rate numbers were changed to include the franchise within the base rate
numbers.
A. Utilize a varying energy block to pass through demand costs
within the energy blocks (modification). The demands were
separated into a new component and billed as demand for the new
energy system.
B. Bill variable or non -energy related factors for the minimum bills
(modification). All minimum bills were recreated through
combinations of demand ratchets and service availability charges.
C. Bill the discount portions of LP&L's Large General Service Rate
(modification). This portion was separated into a new Large
General Service - Primary Rate.
D. Bill any portion of LP&L's Heating Rider due to its complexity
(modification). A new rate was created to discount winter electric
usage for commercial customers using electric heat.
E. LP&L also combined its two church rates into one rate and
created a Vacant Service rate to strengthen our competitive status
among apartments and rental units and collect revenue for this
service.
It is estimated that these changes have saved over $500,000 in required
modifications currently. Future cost savings are unknown but estimated
to be considerable.

The net effect of these changes will produce approximately the same

A copy of the Change Order is filed with Resolution No. 2001-R0104.
This contract is for the construction of the Police Academy Firing Range
located west of Reese Center. This project has a May 2001 completion
date that must be maintained due to future commitments for the State of
Texas Police Olympics. This project is funded through the General
Facilities and System Improvements Capital Projects Fund, Project
#9151. The original portion of the contract was awarded at $848,600.
The overall budget for the construction portion of this project is
approximately $1,000,000.
A change order in the amount of $55,114.06 is submitted. The amount
is equal to 6.49 % of the original contract amount. The change order has
two portions. The first is for the abandonment and plugging of an

existing water well as per TNRCC regulations. The second portion is to
import 10,750 cubic yards of soil. This soil is to be mixed with existing
soil, plowed and turned. This will allow for compaction requirements to
be achieved expeditiously. Due to local moisture conditions, drier soil
must be imported.
Due to project deadlines and the reasonable cost for this additional work,
the Facilities Management Department recommended approval of this
change order to the original contract. The original contract amount and
the addition of the change order still have the construction portion of this
project within the proposed budget. The new contract amount will be
$903,714.06.

The Transportation Enhancement Program is a federally funded program
designed for projects that have a relationship to the surface transportation
system. These projects are non-traditional transportation related
activities that go beyond building or rehabilitating roadways. Projects
integrate transportation facilities into the surrounding environment in a
sensitive and creative manner that goes beyond standard or routine
operations. The funds provided by this program are on a cost
reimbursement basis and are capped by the award amount. A minimum
match of 20 percent local funding to a maximum 80 percent federal
funding is required in each project phase when federal reimbursement is
requested.
The City of Lubbock and Texas Tech University will file two joint
applications. An intent to file the application(s) will be submitted to the
local Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) by April 28, 2001. The
targeted award of each application will be approximately $3.6 million.

A copy of Exhibit "A" is filed with Resolution No. 2001-R0135.
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 Park 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% is earmarked for
existing events, while the remaining 10% 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 45 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 Park 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 Park 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 27, 2000 and March 27, 2001, the Parks and Recreation Board
approved the aggregate scoring and recommended the following Special
Event Applications for in -kind services:

To date, there is a total of $89,634 of in -kind services approved for FY

which will be absorbed within the existing departmental budgets. The
event organizers will be responsible for making up the difference. This

would leave a balance of $88,681 of in -kind services that can be

not include the $20,000 reserved for new special events.

At the northeast corner of Canton Avenue and 50' Street is a dry
cleaning business. On the south side of the cleaners, facing 50' Street,
are head -in parking spaces. Due to the location of the main building on
the property, there is very little parking lot space between the south side
of the building and 50' Street. Once a vehicle is parked in these head -in
parking spaces, the parking lot drive between the building and a parked
vehicle is very narrow. By utilizing some of the north right-of-way of
50' Street for increased head in parking space area, parking congestion
and the likelihood of vehicle accidents can be greatly reduced. Mr.
Zeitouni desires to use 9 feet north to south and 95 feet east -to -west of
this excess 50`' Street right-of-way. The total area to be used is 855

Hal Schauer of Schauer & Associates has an office building at 610
Broadway. He has constructed an entry stairway in the east side of the
north -south alley just north of Broadway between Avenue E and Avenue
F. He also wants to construct a small landscaping area and park cars that
come to his business in the alley area. Utilities do not have a problem
with this and solid waste utilizes the east -west alley for dumpster pick
up. This alley -use license will be for 20 years, payable every 5 years in
advance. The yearly amount for this license will be $175 and $875 for
the five-year amount. This was calculated by using the license formula
of 7 feet x 125 feet = 875 square feet (alley area) x $2 per square foot

easement is located on the south side of 98`h Street, approximately 800
feet west of University Avenue. It measures 50.00 feet wide by 680 feet
long and contains 34,013 square feet. Mr. Goddard appraised this

A copy of Exhibits "A" and "B" is filed with Resolution No. 2001-R0136.
The City of Lubbock is in the process of acquiring right-of-way to
construct a railroad spur into the north portion of the Lubbock
International Airport. This railroad spur will exit the existing Burlington
Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) tract which runs along the east side of I-27
north of FM 1294 (runs along the north side of the airport) and cross old
Highway 87 and continue southward across the Gentry property for
approximately 3,200 feet to FM 1294. From there it will cross the
Texas A & M Experimental Station's property to the City's airport
property. The total area to be acquired from the Gentry Estates is 7.721
acres, and the 50.00-foot wide drainage easement contains 0.3444 acres.
Tommy Cantrell and Merle Blosser appraised this property and Dave
Culberson of the Department of Commerce Economic Development
Administration reviewed the appraisals. The 7.721-acre fee simple
taking was valued at $5,400 for the land and $55,780 for the damages.
The 0.3444-acre drainage easement was valued at $220. Therefore, our
offer to the Gentry Estates is $61,400.
This resolution also authorizes our Legal Department to institute
condemnation proceedings if the offer is refused.
The Right -of -Way Department recommended the approval of our offer to
the Gentry Estates.
Motion was made by Councilmember Morrison, seconded by

A copy of the Lease is filed with Resolution No. 2001-R0112.
This lease agreement is for Luther Avitts of Hub City Brewery, Inc. to
lease approximately 31 spaces of the City Health Department parking lot
at the southwest corner of 19`' Street and Texas Avenue. Additional
parking per zoning requirements is needed for customers of the
restaurant and club during the evening and nighttime hours. This lease is
for one year and the City will receive $116.25 per month for this lease.
This has been calculated as follows: $15 per space (typical monthly
downtown parking lot space rental rate) x 31 spaces = $465. Only 15
days of the month will parking occur on these spaces and they will be
leased only 12 hours a day maximum. Therefore, $465 x lhmonth x 1/2
day = $116.25 due the City per month.
The Right -of -Way Department recommended the approval of the lease.

A copy of the Agreement is filed with Resolution No. 2001-R0114.
On November 27, 2000, City Council awarded RFP #00-02 to NovaBus,
Inc. for the purchase of three 35-foot NovaBus RTS-II buses at a total
cost of $775,908. RFP #00-02 included an option to purchase two more
buses at a cost of $258,636 each or a total cost of $517,272, for a total
of five buses. Citibus would like to exercise that option at this time.
The buses will be used for service at Texas Tech University. The
original three vehicles were purchased with a Texas Department of
Transportation (TxDOT) Section 5309 Capital Investment Program
Funds grant in the amount of $778,146 (approved by City Council on
October 26, 2000). On March 29, 2001, the Texas Department of
Transportation Commission approved an allocation of $515,034 to the
City of Lubbock/Citibus bus purchases. Citibus will bring the financial
agreement before City Council for approval in May 2001. The
$515,034 from TxDOT combined with funds left from TxDOT Contract
#51105F-6066 will cover the cost of the two additional vehicles. Toll
credits from the Texas Department of Transportation will allow for the
funds to be used at 100%. No local match will be required. No
additional funding will be needed from the City of Lubbock.
Citibus recommended the approval to exercise the option to purchase two
additional buses as stated in RFP #00-02.

A copy of the Agreement is filed with Resolution No. 2001-R0115.
Citibus has electronically applied for a Federal Transit Administration
Section 5307 Grant in the amount of $3,157,887. 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 2001 budget that has been approved by
City Council. This is also the first year that the Federal Transit
Administration has required that grants be applied for, and executed,
electronically which accounts for this item being brought before the City
Council at such a late date. Due to the fact that this is the first year of
electronically applying for and executing grants, the grant was
unintentionally executed before it could be brought before the City
Council.
The funds from this grant will be used for operating assistance, the
purchase of two paratransit vehicles, preventive maintenance, remodel of
administrative offices and support equipment, planning, and passenger
amenities including signage, shelters, and benches.
Approval of this grant does not increase the cost to the City of Lubbock,
as the required match has been included in the current year's budget.
Citibus recommended the approval of the Federal Transit Administration
Section 5307 Grant.

A copy of said Agreement is filed with Resolution No. 2001-R0131.
In late 1998, the City of Lubbock approved a brokerage policy for the
Interport Trade Center project at Lubbock International Airport.
Developed in cooperation with the Lubbock Commercial Realtors
Association, the policy establishes a consistent and fair method of
payment for any company that provides brokerage services to the airport.
While the policy has generated a few local prospects, it has not created
the level of activity that was expected.
After a thorough review, staff made a recommendation to the Airport
Board to consider restructuring the brokerage policy to allow the airport
to enter into an exclusive agreement with a real estate firm with national
and international marketing capabilities. The Airport Board approved
the concept, but recommended that any new agreement have provisions
for the participation of cooperating brokers.
Staff initiated discussions with Staubach Global Services, Inc.
(SGS).SGS was selected for a number of reasons, including its world
wide marketing capabilities, its recent successes in the Lubbock market
(X-FAB), and its familiarity with handling airport properties. SGS was
also attractive because it represents the Industrial Development arm of
BNSF, the railroad company that will service Interport Trade Center's
rail spur.
A negotiating team made up of representatives from the airport staff, the
Airport Board and the City Attorney's Office worked with SGS to
develop an agreement with the following provisions:
1. Marketing Services-SGS will assign a project team consisting of
two SGS representatives from the Dallas office that are familiar
with the Lubbock market and one Lubbock -area broker under
contract to SGS. Within 30 days of signing the agreement, SGS
will survey the entire property. Based on surveys, existing
appraisals and new appraisals, SGS will develop a pricing plan
for every parcel on the airport. They will conduct a survey to
determine target industries and businesses, and will develop a
marketing plan to reach the targeted areas. During the term of
the agreement, SGS will market the Interport Trade Center
through their worldwide network of brokers and on their web
site.
2. Term -One-year agreement, thereafter on a month -to -month basis.
Termination on 30 days notice at the discretion of either party.
3. Fees -The only fees due to SGS for services under the agreement
are commissions due on sales or leases. The City will pay SGS
6 % commission on the sale of property. In the event that there is
a cooperating broker, City will pay 8 % and the fee will be evenly
split between SGS and the cooperating broker. On leases, the
256
Regular City Council Meeting
April 12, 2001
Page 257
City will pay an amount equivalent to one year's average rent in
equal monthly payments over the first 24 months of the
agreement. In the event that there is a cooperating broker, the
City will pay an amount equivalent to 18 month's average rent in
equal monthly payments over the first 24 months of the
agreement. The payment schedule is structured to ensure that the
City has no negative cash flow as a result of any transaction with
SGS.
The airport staff has coordinated with Market Lubbock, Inc. throughout
the development of this agreement to ensure that it is compatible with the
City's overall marketing plan.
The Airport Board has reviewed the agreement and recommended
approval. Staff also recommended approval.

In response to the work session presentation on June 20, 2000, staff was
given direction to proceed with a contract for the project plans,
257
Regular City Council Meeting
April 12, 2001
Page 258
specifications, and estimates for the South Lubbock Drainage System.
The contract between the City and Parkhill, Smith, and Cooper, Inc.,
will include engineering services for a gravity flow storm sewer that will
drain Phil Hoel Lake, Lakeridge Lake North, Lakeridge Lake South,
Guy Park Lake, McCullough Park Lake, Earl Crow Park Lake, and six
lakes yet to be named.
Highlights in the contract for the this project include:
➢ Six sets of plans, specifications, and estimates for various portions of the
project allowing parts of the project to be bid in smaller pieces and as
development occurs in the outlying lakes.
➢ One set of plans will include the trunk line on 98' Street between Indiana
Avenue and University Avenue and will be consolidated with the Texas
Department of Transportation's plan to reconstruct this portion of 98`h
Street. This will be completed early to accelerate the construction of 98`h
Street and to avoid the City having to come in a year later and tear up a
large portion of this newly constructed thoroughfare.
➢ The contract includes necessary monitor well installation, groundwater
testing, geotechnical information, surveying, and aerial mapping for the
design of the project.
➢ The consultant will provide assistance in preparing the back-up technical
information for the Section 404 Permit from the Corps of Engineers.
➢ Updated opinions of probable cost supplied every six months for the
duration of the contract.
The total contract amount for basic engineering and bid phase services is
a not -to -exceed amount of $2,950,067. The contract also includes an
option for supplemental services. The services will only be used as
needed for additional coordination with the Corps of Engineers or for
additional surveying if needed for right-of-way acquisition purposes.
The cost of the supplemental services is a not -to -exceed amount of
$410,421 for a possible total not -to -exceed amount of $3,360,000.
Again, the supplemental services will not be used unless it is necessary.
The basic contract is approximately 7.9 % of the estimated construction
cost and if the supplemental items are needed that will bring the contract
to approximately 8.9 % of the estimated construction cost. Staff feels
that these cost are reasonable and that it would be within the
reasonableness guidelines for a formula developed by the Texas Society
of Professional Engineers for calculating engineering fees related to
services for construction projects.
Staff recommended approval of this contract. If approved, the one mile
between Indiana Avenue and University Avenue will be complete by
March 31, 2002, for TxDOT coordination. The remaining engineering
should be completed by June 1, 2003, with a projected bid opening of
August 31, 2003.
