BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LUBBOCK:
THAT the Mayor of the City of Lubbock BE and is hereby authorized and
directed to execute for and on behalf of the City of Lubbock an Interlocal Contract for
the Well Head Protection Program, by and between the City of Lubbock and the Texas
Natural Resource Conservation Commission, attached herewith, in substantially the

spread upon the minutes of the Council and as spread upon the minutes of this Council

A copy of the Interlocal Contract is filed with Resolution 5608.
The City of Lubbock initiated the Wellhead Protection Program
(WHP) in response to a growing need to maintain the City's
existing groundwater supply and to protect it from environmental
harm. In the face of recent droughts, water has become the most
precious resource in West Texas.
Phase I of the WHP began in 1994 when the City of Lubbock and
the League of Women Voters recruited and trained citizen
volunteers. These volunteers, working with a map of the City's
279 water supply wells, surveyed land owners and identified
77
City Council Meeting
August 28, 1997
Page 78
possible sources of contamination located on their property. This
extensive effort revealed possible contamination that ranged from
abandoned water wells and underground storage tanks to auto
salvage yards and municipal sewage lines.
As a result of Phase I activities, the Texas Natural Resource
Conservation Commission (TNRCC) began pursuing a federal
grant from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for the
purpose of conducting non -point source pollution prevention and
reduction activities. Prior to pursuing this grant, the TNRCC
approached the City of Lubbock to encourage its participation in
a $161,000 project to establish a wellhead protection program for
the City's public water supply wells. On September 14, 1995,
City Council authorized Lubbock's participation in the Wellhead
Protection Program.
Sixty percent of funding for this project ($96,600) will be
provided by the TNRCC from federal funds and the City will
provide the remaining forty percent ($64,400) from local, non-
federal funds. This match may be in the form of "in -kind"
services, such as staff time devoted to the project. This grant
will fund Phases II and III of the Wellhead Protection Program.
Phase II of the WHP program involves verifying and digitizing
the public water supply wells and the potential sources of
contamination using Geographic Information System (GIS) and
Global Positioning System (GPS) technology. The GPS
technology will be purchased through this program. After the
wells and potential contamination sources are digitally located,
the areas with the greatest potential for contamination will be
prioritized. It is these "vulnerable areas" that will receive the
most immediate attention.
Phase III of the WHP program involves implementing the
appropriate management practices required to protect public
water supplies. The primary focus of the WHP program will be
public education and outreach. While efforts will be
concentrated on areas designated as "vulnerable", neighborhood
associations, businesses, and special interest groups throughout
Lubbock may be included in pollution prevention and reduction
activities at some level.
In order to receive this funding, the contract must be signed by
September 1, 1997. The City's legal department is working with
the TNRCC to finalize the contract. It is anticipated that the final
contract will be received by the City no later than August 29,
1997.
Every citizen of Lubbock now and in fifty years will benefit from
the Wellhead Protection Program. By protecting the City's
groundwater, Lubbock can avoid water rationing and postpone
the need to purchase alternate water supplies.
As water becomes more scarce in years to come, Lubbock's
effort to protect its groundwater now will put the City in the best
possible position for maintaining current growth and quality of
life.
Staff recommended approval of this item.

Although the Library was included in the RFP, it is not included
in this collection service agreement, and their ratings were not
considered in the evaluation process. They will be contracting
with a firm that specializes in library collection service at a lower
cost than was available to them through this agreement.
Proposals were evaluated by a committee made up of
representatives of each of these departments and ranked based on
the following criteria:
Cost of services 50 %
Proven collection capabilities 30 %
Understanding of City's needs 10 %
Automation capabilities 10 %
Collectech Diversified, Inc. proposed the lowest costs for
collection services and was also ranked the highest overall.
Their rate schedule is as follows:
Check collection - $17.25 (unit price per check - of the $25 fee
paid by check writer, city portion is $7.75)
Account collection:
LP&L 30 %
Sidewalk Assistance Program 10 %
Water & Sewer Pro-Rata 10 %
Water & Sewer Taps 10 %
Auditorium/Coliseum 10 %
Home Improvement & Mortgage Loans 10 %
Although fees paid will vary depending on actual collection rate
achieved, there are generally about:
400 insufficient checks per month;
520 overdue LP&L accounts per month with average of
$185 per account;
current and overdue water and sewer pro-rata accounts
are 166 averaging $273; and
ten home improvement and mortgage loans with average
monthly payments of $50.
The Civic Center/Auditorium collection varies but consists
mainly of rent accounts, and water/sewer tap volume is minimal.

(33.) Ordinance No. 10005 - Authorize the Municipal Court
Building Security fund and collection of Security Fee.
AN ORDINANCE CREATING A MUNICIPAL COURT BUILDING
SECURITY FUND AND REQUIRING DEFENDANTS CONVICTED IN
MUNICIPAL COURT OF MISDEMEANOR OFFENSES OTHER THAN PARKING
VIOLATIONS TO PAY A $3.00 SECURITY FEE TO THE CLERK OF SUCH AS A
COST OF COURT.
The request is for the City Council to approve an ordinance
allowing the Municipal Court to collect a $3 security fee on all
misdemeanor citations that result in collected fines. The Texas
Legislators recently passed a law that allows the collection of the
security fee.
The $3 fee will establish a revenue source for making needed
security improvements to the Municipal Court facility. These
improvements will include the entire Municipal Square facility
since it is one structure and access may be gained from a variety
of entrances.
Based upon the fines collected during the FY 1995-96 Budget,
the projected revenues could range from the following:
Without Parking Citations
LOW $40,000
HIGH $120, 882
With Parking; Citations
',:1 111
$246, 882
The range is so broad to allow for the possibility that many
citations issued will be contested due to the increase in fine from
the added $3 security fee.
The included backup information sheet entitled "Municipal Court
Security Improvements" indicates that:
One -Time Charges are estimated at $425,800
Annual Charges are estimated at $165,240
The staff supports the imposition of the $3 security fee to be
collected on all fines. The revenues will be used for the needed
security improvements included in the backup information
provided in your package and any future identified needs.
Staff has been asked to check with CenterCorp to determine that
agency's position on the assessment of the fee on parking
violations. Staff will convey that information to you when staff
have received it.
Motion was made by Councilmember Hernandez, seconded by
Councilmember Nelson to pass on second and final reading
Ordinance No. 10005 as amended not to include parking fees.
Motion carried: 5 Yeas, 2 Nays. Councilmembers Neugebauer
and Ince voted nay.

of Ronny Puckett (for Poka Lambro) for zoning change from
C-3 to C-3 Specific Use for a communications tower on a

change from C-3 to C-3 Specific Use. No one appeared in
opposition. Mayor Sitton closed the hearing at 11:54 a.m.
Randy Henson, Senior Planner, presented staff comments.
The request is a 180 foot monopole which will support two users
at some point. Adjacent land uses:
North - commercial
South - commercial
East - commercial
West - commercial
The property is zoned commercial, such that there is no
Comprehensive Land Use Plan conflict. The ordinance recently
adopted for wireless towers included several goals for sitting
towers:
91
City Council Meeting
August 28, 1997
Page 92
Encourage towers in non-residential areas — This tower request
conforms.
Co -location — The proponent has submitted documentation of
efforts to co -locate in the area. Both efforts failed.
To locate towers in areas where adverse impact to the community
is minimal.
Several adjacent owners expressed opposition to the tower based —
on aesthetics. Also, the staff asked Mr. Puckett to inquire with
the Science Spectrum for a location closer to the building. The
proposed site is about 40 feet north of 74th Street. The building
has an approximate 145 foot setback on the old part and 60 feet
on the new part. Because of expansion plans, the Science
Spectrum does not want the tower behind and closer to the
current building. Any other location east and further north of the
building would be more visible from Loop 289.
Minimize visual impact — At the proposed location, Poka
Lambro has tried to use existing trees to screen the base of the
tower.
The project should have no effect on traffic.
The request was approved by the Planning and Zoning
Commission with the following condition:
The 180 foot tower be engineered to facilitate co -location of a
minimum of two users.
The staff supports the recommendation of the Planning and
Zoning Commission
Motion was made by Councilmember Nelson, seconded by

The request is for a 180 foot monopole. Adjacent land uses:
North - vacant
South - Loop 289
East - vacant
West - vacant
A review of several of the goals for towers:
Encourage towers in non-residential areas — The current zoning
around this parcel is commercial and multi -family.
No co -location sites exist in the vicinity.
The proposed vicinity represents a site that will have minimal
effect on the community.
Minimize visual impact — This area is wide open with little
development. Few options exist to minimize the visual impact of
the tower.
The project will have little or no impact on traffic.
This request was approved by the Planning and Zoning
Commission with the following conditions:
The 180 foot tower be engineered to facilitate co -location of a
minimum of two users; and
A monopole structure is required.

closed the hearing at 12:04 p.m.
Randy Henson, Senior Planner, presented staff comments.
City Council Meeting
August 28, 1997
Page 95
The proposal is for resale of used goods which requires C-4
zoning. The request is to allow one permitted C-4 use and
otherwise maintain the existing C-3 zoning. Adjacent land uses:
North - commercial
South - residential
East - commercial
West - commercial
The Comprehensive Land Use Plan indicates that C-4 uses should
be located on regional, State or Federal highways. 50th Street is
a major thoroughfare, but has no regional or state designation.
In the alternative, only one C-4 use is requested such that
consideration for compatibility of the proposed use should
dominate the discussion.
The project is described as a national chain specializing in
carefully screened used merchandise. The proponent noted that
they buy goods from non-profit agencies, not from individuals
coming to the store. Since several neighbors expressed concerns
about "flea markets", the staff proposed a condition limiting the
resale business to a single owner/operator department store, with
no allowance for a space rental situation that would constitute a
flea market. The project should have no effect on traffic in the
area.
As with several recent zone cases on 34th Street and 50th Street,
several areas of our community are aging. With age, a natural
economic process takes place in terms of tenants and rent
structures. The description by Mr. Pritchett (see back up) is
correct in that staff do not have to rezone to encourage
deterioration, but staff can selectively rezone to maintain
economic viability of older areas at the same time attempting to
not deteriorate property values.
Resale of used clothing has been successful in many shopping
centers in west Lubbock with no apparent ill effect (used clothing
only is a conditional use in C-2 and C-3 through the ZBA). This
proponent is the first proponent in Lubbock for a facility
involved in resale that is not the stereotypical flea market or
bargain store. If these second or third generation uses are not
allowed, then staff will have many older structures unused with
the ills associated with vacant property.
This request was approved by the Planning and Zoning
Commission subject to the following condition:
Limited to a single owner operated department store with no
allowance for space rental.
The staff supports the recommendation of the Planning and
Zoning Commission.
Motion was made by Councilmember Neugebauer, seconded by
Councilmember Patterson to pass on first reading Ordinance No.
10013 as recommended by staff. Motion carried: 7 Yeas, 0
Nays.

City Council Meeting
August 28, 1997

(39.) Zone Case No. 1058-J (6409 Indiana Avenue): Hold a public
hearing to consider request of Kay Kirkpatrick (for KK's
Craft Mall) for zoning change from C-2 to C-2 Specific Use
for an outdoor produce market on the south parking lot on
Lot I, Live Oak Addition, and to consider ordinance.
Mayor Sitton opened the public hearing at 12:06 p.m. Kay
Kirkpatrick appeared on behalf of KK's Craft Mall to present the
zone change from C-2 to C-2 Specific Use for an outdoor
produce market. No one appeared in opposition. Mayor Sitton
closed the hearing at 12:25 p.m.
Randy Henson, Senior Planner, presented staff comments.
The Commercial Zoning districts within the Lubbock Zoning
Code do not provide for outside display. The staff requested Ms.
Kirkpatrick to file a zone case under Specific Use — which has a
stated purpose "...to provide for design and land use flexibility in
the various districts". Otherwise, the outside display would
require an M-1 District.
The proposal is to have individual trucks line the south wall of
the building several mornings of the week. Only farm products
are proposed, no other products. Adjacent land uses:
North - commercial
South - commercial
East - zoned R-2
West - commercial
The parcel is noted as commercial on the Comprehensive Land
Use Plan. Several zoning policies were considered during
discussion by the Planning and Zoning Commission:
The outside aspect of the proposal.
Parking congestion caused by the presence of the vendors.
Any signage would need to conform to the sign code. (KK's will
be responsible for monitoring any signs or banners a vender may
attempt to use. Such temporary signage is not legal.)
This request represents an experiment. The outside display and
sales is prohibited in commercial districts with the exception of
specific products in the C-4 District. The amount of oversight by
Ms. Kirkpatrick will probably determine the success or outcome
of the experiment. Managing litter at the site will be an
important issue. Ms. Kirkpatrick indicated they have the lot
cleaned every day. The Planning Commission seemed
comfortable with the novelty.
The staff would not promote a wide move toward outside sales
since this single aspect creates a "clean" commercial environment
within our community. Several skirmishes about outside display
at several supercenters have been processed through the ZBA.
This request was approved by the Planning and Zoning
Commission with the following conditions:
The vendor location be tied to the site plan as presented; and
91
City Council Meeting
August 28, 1997
Page 97
All unconditional C-2 uses shall be permitted.
The staff recommended consideration of three additional
conditions related to discussions during the first hearing:
All signage shall conform to the Zoning Code.
Any shade shelters shall be fully portable.
All vehicles, shelters and debris shall be removed by the
cessation of produce business each day. With acknowledgment
of the novelty of this "experiment", the staff supports the
recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Motion was made by Councilmember Nelson, seconded by
Councilmember Ince to deny the ordinance. Motion carried: 7
Yeas, 0 Nays.

Randy Henson, Senior Planner, presented staff comments.
The proponent runs a business that would best be developed in an
IHI rather than the existing IHC zoning district. To the south of
this parcel is zoned IHI and to the west is zoned M-2. Adjacent
land uses:
North - commercial
South - commercial, zoned IHI
East - zoned IHC
West - zoned M-2
The request is consistent, in spirit, with the Comprehensive Land
Use Plan. The frontage on I-27 will remain zoned IHC and this
parcel will serve the needs of Mr. McFerrin. The proposal will
have no effect on traffic.
This request was approved by the Planning and Zoning
Commission.
The staff supports the recommendation of the Planning and
Zoning Commission.

PUBLIC HEARING (Special)
(41.) Hold a public hearing to receive input concerning the
adoption of an ordinance to nominate the area of Reese Air
Force Base as a state designated joint city/county Defense
Economic Readjustment Zone and Reinvestment Zone.
Mayor Sitton opened the public hearing at 12:36 a.m. Eddie
McBride appeared on behalf of Lubbock Reese Redevelopment
Authority in favor of the state designated joint city/county
Defense Economic Readjustment Zone and Reinvestment Zone.
No one appeared in opposition. Mayor Sitton closed the hearing
at 12:39 a.m.
Kevin Walker, Business Liaison Officer, presented staff
comments.
(42). Consider Ordinance No. 10015 nominating an area as a
Defense Economic Readjustment Zone pursuant to the Texas
Defense Economic Readjustment Zone ACT (Texas
Government Code, Chapter 2310.)
ORDINANCE NO, 10015
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LUBBOCK,
TEXAS NOMINATING AN AREA AS A DEFENSE ECONOMIC
READJUSTMENT ZONE PURSUANT TO THE TEXAS DEFENSE ECONOMIC
READJUSTMENT ZONE ACT (TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE, CHAPTER 2310);
PROVIDING TAX INCENTIVES.
In order for the City and County of Lubbock to nominate Reese
Air Force Base for readjustment zone designation, there must
first be a public hearing held for citizen input. Once the public
hearing is concluded, the City must pass an ordinance nominating
Reese Center for designation as a readjustment zone. Since Reese
is located outside the city limits of Lubbock, but is included in
the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the city, the application for
zone designation will be a joint application between the City of
Lubbock and the County of Lubbock and must include an
ordinance from the City of Lubbock nominating Reese Center
along with an order from Lubbock County. The Lubbock
County public hearing is scheduled for Monday, August 25th at
11 a.m. at the County Commissioners Chambers.
Designation of Reese Air Force Base as a readjustment zone will
assist the LRRA with the redevelopment of the base and
replacement of the jobs lost in the closure. This public hearing
and ordinance will fulfill the requirements of the law on
nominating Reese for designation.

The Keep Texas Beautiful Governor's Community Achievement
Award (GCAA) is presented each year to different cities
according to their population. The award for cities the size of
Lubbock is $125,000 and this year was won by the City of
Irving.
The award is based on a narrative submitted by each city
outlining the city's efforts in Community Leadership and
Coordination, Litter Prevention and Cleanup, Public Awareness,
Beautification and Property Improvement, Illegal Dumping and
Enforcement, Solid Waste Management, and Education.
The narrative is judged by a group of people Keep Texas
Beautiful brings in to review the award applications.
To meet its goals, KLB relies on the work of different city
departments such as Parks and Recreation, Solid Waste,
Environmental Inspection, the public schools, neighborhood
associations, social and civic groups, and students at Texas Tech
and LCU. Keep Lubbock Beautiful serves as the umbrella
organization with links as an affiliate to Keep Texas Beautiful.
KLB finished second this year in the balloting. Staff finished
second two years ago.
Resolution No. 3334 (dated March 22, 1990) that created the
KLB Advisory Committee contains a provision that the City
Council may designate ex-officio members to the KLB committee
in addition to the Parks and Recreation director.
The committee would like to have a person from Solid Waste and
a person from Environmental Services begin attending monthly
meetings and providing pertinent information from each
respective department.

members would be considered a "plus" in the judging criteria.
The Parks and Recreation Department recommended approval of
this resolution.

MISCELLANEOUS
(44.) Review proposed amendments to Section III.A.1 of the City of
Lubbock Council Rules, Order of Business and Procedure
relating to changes in meeting procedures.
With the election of a new Mayor and Council, suggested
changes in the City Council's agenda format and meeting
procedures were implemented in June on a trial basis. The
primary changes involved rescheduling the starting time and
order of the City Council's Executive Session, Work Session,
and Regular City Council Meeting, as well as adding a Citizen
Comments portion to the Agenda. City Council meetings now
begin at 8:00 A.M., and Council recesses immediately into
Executive Session. Work Session begins at 9:30 A.M. and City
Council Regular Meeting reconvenes at 10:30 A.M. The Citizen
Comments is a thirty -minute period dedicated to citizens who
wish to address the Council. These changes are reflected in the
current City Council Agendas. The actual printed agenda layout
and appearance have also been changed to make it easier to read
and follow Council items and activities during the meeting.
City Council Rules (Sec.II.B, pp. 1-12) require changes to
Council Rules, Order of Business and Procedures to be
considered at two separate Council meetings. The item has been
placed on this agenda for initial entry and discussion purposes
only. The item will be placed on the next agenda for
consideration of formal adoption by Council. A six vote majority
is required of Council for approval of these changes under City
Council Rules.
Because the changes in the City Council Agenda have been
favorably received by the City Council, City staff, and Lubbock
citizens, staff recommended that the City Council pass this
resolution and formally adopt these changes in the City Council's
Agenda format. Again, no action is required at this time. A
vote will be taken at the next meeting.
Bob Cass, City Manager, asked that this item will be placed on
the agenda as an action item next council meeting.
(44A.) Consider Resolution No. 5615 authorizing the Mayor to
execute an agreement with Parkhill, Smith & Cooper for
engineering design, bidding and construction inspection for
prevention of methane excursions from a closed landfill in the
vicinity of 78th Street and Quaker Avenue.

RESOLUTION NO, 5615
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LUBBOCK:

Smith & Cooper, attached hereto, which shall be spread upon the minutes of the
Council and as spread upon the minutes of this Council shall constitute and be a part of _

A copy of the Contract is filed with Resolution 5615.
The closed landfill in the vicinity of 78th Street and Quaker
Avenue began generating detectable levels of methane gas in
July, 1997. The City's response was to immediately address
public safety concerns with owners and occupants of surrounding
properties and begin development of a solution to the methane
problem.
On July 31, 1997 the city manager authorized a site assessment
by the engineering firm of Parkhill, Smith & Cooper (PS&C),
which has been completed. On August 14, 1997, the city
manager authorized PS&C to develop engineering
recommendations to address the methane excursion problem.
The City Council will be briefed on PS&C's recommendations on
or before the August 28th Council meeting.
At this writing, staff cannot provide you with specific costs for
the engineering design, bidding and construction inspection
phases because these costs depend on the means chosen to
prevent future methane excursions. However, the scope of
services to be provided by PS&C are detailed in the Phases III,
IV and V sections of the Phase II agreement in the backup
material. Staff expect to have "not -to -exceed" amounts for each
recommendation at the City Council meeting.

A copy of the Agreement is filed with Resolution 5616.
The City of Lubbock's investment portfolio is managed by city
staff and has achieved or exceeded performance benchmarks.
However, staff believes that partial outsourcing, in the form of
investment advisory services, will more than pay for itself, in
improved performance of the portfolio yield, while maintaining
the stringent safety and liquidity requirements set by the City
Council in the Investment Policy.
There are several advantages to contracting with an investment
advisory firm.
103
City Council Meeting
August 28, 1997
Page 104
An investment advisor provides unbiased real-time market
information that is critical to City of Lubbock investment
decisions.
An investment advisor provides accounting software as well as
electronic news capability that would cost the City far more than
the advisory services to maintain.
An investment advisor can purchase securities in larger blocks
than the City of Lubbock thus realizing economies of scale that
can be passed on to us.
An investment advisor can assist with coverage should internal
staff experience turnover.
An investment advisor strengthens current internal controls by
providing segregation of functions in the investment process.
On May 9, 1997, the City of Lubbock sent out requests for
proposals for Investment Advisory Services. Staff received six
proposals. Two candidates were invited to make oral
presentations. Staff spoke directly with five references for each
company. After reviewing all of the information, the review
panel made a final recommendation for Patterson and Associates
Investment Professionals (P&A) located in Austin, Texas.
As the contract indicates, P&A agrees to provide full-time non -
discretionary investment advisory services. The services include:
executive reporting on market conditions and the economy
as it pertains to the City of Lubbock portfolio;
assistance in the development of a five-year overall cash
flow model;
assistance in the identification and availability of
investable fiends;
guidance on strategies designed to improve yield through
active management of the portfolio;
investment accounting system;
training for staff members on all facets of investment
management/cash management;
appropriate reporting that complies with the Texas Public
Funds Investment Act;
reporting in accordance with new federal requirements of
Government Accounting Standards Board; and
improved internal controls that improve the safety of the
investment function.
The services provided do rot completely replace the need for
internal staff. Currently internal staff is dedicated to the
management of the investments, wading through the plethora of
investment data, self -training on new products, preparing reports
to conform to authoritative guidelines. With investment advisor
104

Page 105
services, staff can dedicate time to the identification and
investment of currently uninvested cash flows or the improved
investment of current cash flows. With this information much
more of the potential of the investment portfolio may be realized.
This agreement with P&A will be renewable annually for
maximum of three years. Cost will be $25,000 for the first year
and $18,000 for the subsequent two years.
Staff recommended approval of this agreement.
