RESOLUTION NO. 5817 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 any and all documents related to the HOME Match proposal accepting certain donated houses along the East/West Freeway from the Texas Department of Transportation, which Proposal shall be spread upon the minutes of this Council and shall constitute and be a part of this Resolution as if fully copied herein in detail. 203 Regular City Council Meeting April 9, 1998 Page 204 Passed by City Council this 9th day of April, 1998. /s/ WINDY SITTON WINDY SITTON, MAYOR ATTEST: /s/ Kaythie Darnell Kaythie Darnell, City Secretary APPROVED AS TO CONTENT: /s/Doug Goodman Doug Goodman, Managing Director, Health & Community Services APPROVED AS TO FORM: /s/Amy L. Sims Amy L. Sims, Assistant City Attorney A copy of the Proposal is filed with Resolution No. 5817. The Home Investment Partnership Program for Affordable Housing is a Federal entitlement received by the City of Lubbock each year. In order to receive these funds, entitlement cities must provide match funds. Match can be in the form of non-federal dollars or eligible in -kind match. The Community Development Department has the opportunity to receive donated houses from the Texas Department of Transportation. These houses are located along the East/West Freeway right-of-way. Under the HOME Program, cities have five years to expend the funds. Match is not required until the funds are actually expended. At this time, the Community Development Department needs $213,000 in match to finish covering the 1997-98 ($1,016,000) allocation and the 1998-99 ($1,081,000) upcoming allocation of HOME funds. It is important to note that 17 houses were previously moved off the Indiana right-of-way by the Community Development Department, along with four other donated houses. This was done in conjunction with the HOPE 3 program and provided match for $3,510,000 worth of Federal dollars. Doug Goodman, Director of Health and Community Services, presented staff comments. The Neighborhood Redevelopment Commission approved the proposal at its March 24, 1998 meeting. The staff recommended the approval of this item.

Passed by City Council this 9th day of April, 1998. /s/ WINDY SITTON WINDY SITTON, MAYOR ATTEST: /s/ Kaythie Darnell Kaythie Darnell, City Secretary APPROVED AS TO CONTENT: /s/Tommy Gonzalez Tommy Gonzalez, Managing Director of Civic Services APPROVED AS TO FORM: /s/Amy L. Sims Amy L. Sims, Assistant City Attorney A copy of the Master Plan is filed with Resolution No. 5818. 205 Regular City Council Meeting April 9, 1998 Page 206 In October of 1996, the City Council authorized a contract with the consulting firm of Carter -Burgess to prepare a comprehensive Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan. The purpose of the master plan is to provide a framework for planning and development of park and recreation improvements on a prioritized basis, based upon research and input from the public. The plan should be used as a guide for acquisition and development of park land to meet present and future needs. The master plan was developed in two phases. Phase one consisted of data gathering and included determining the inventory of properties and facilities, population analysis, standards analysis, citizen surveys, focus groups, and public meetings. Phase two included development of a priority matrix of needs, expenditure analysis, development of an action plan, and recommendations. Phase One Overview Within the parks and recreation system there are 104 parks and special use areas totaling 3,267 acres. There are 1,899 acres that are developed and 986 acres that are undeveloped. Included in the parks system are 382 surface acres of water consisting of the four Yellowhouse Canyon Lakes, Mackenzie Park Lake and 20 playa lakes. The Parks Department also maintains 85 additional sites composed of 156 acres consisting of landscaped medians and rights -of -way. Through a joint use agreement with the Lubbock Independent School District, the Parks and Recreation Department assigns 49 elementary school grounds to various youth sports organizations for use as practice areas. In addition, the department coordinates a gym rental program for 19 junior high gymnasiums and provides a cross-country track for high school and college events. Over 19,000 individuals participate in various sports programs conducted on park facilities and LISD gymnasiums. In excess of 10,000 youth are involved in baseball, soccer, softball, and football programs throughout the City. In 1997 the department hosted 13 softball tournaments which had a direct economic impact of $2.2 million. This impact has no multiplier attached to the formula. The population for 1996 was calculated at 195,150 residents. During the next five years the population is expected to increase by approximately four percent to 202,845. The expected trend is for the southwest zone to increase by approximately 10,000 people and the northeast zone to decrease by 4,500 people during the next five years. The adequacy of existing parks and recreation facilities is determined by comparing the needs of the present and forecasted population to specific standards. The National Recreation and Park Association has developed standards which serve to determine the minimum acceptable facilities for a municipality and serve as a guide to determine land requirements for various kinds of park and recreation areas. These standards serve as a basis for relating recreation needs to spatial analysis to guide and assist development, justifying the need for parks within the overall land use pattern of the city. Parks have been classified by type, size, service area, and acres per 1,000 population as follows: 206 Regular City Council Meeting April 9, 1998 Page 207 Neighborhood Park --Range in size from 1-15 acres and serve residents in a neighborhood within a 1/4 to 1/2 mile radius. NRPA standards for these parks are 1.25-2.5 acres per 1,000 population. Lubbock has 278 acres of neighborhood parks and the standard is 244 acres. Examples of this type of park include Hoel, Burns and Wagner parks. Community Park --Range in size from 16-99 acres and generally serve several neighborhoods within an area of one to two miles in radius. NRPA standards for these parks are 5-8 acres per 1,000 population. Lubbock has 430 acres of community parks and the recommended standard is 975 acres. Examples of this type of park include Higginbotham and Rodgers parks. Metropolitan Park --Range in size from 100-499 acres and serve the entire city. NRPA standards for these parks are 5-10 acres per 1,000 population. There are 422 acres of metropolitan parks currently in the city and the standard is 975 acres. Maxey and Clapp parks are the only metropolitan parks in Lubbock. Regional Park --Range in size from 500 acres and above and serve several communities within a one hour driving distance. Lubbock has 1580 acres of regional parks and there is no standard for regional parks set by NRPA. The regional park acres in the city offset the deficiencies in Community and Metropolitan parks. The Yellowhouse Canyon Lakes are included as a regional park. Special Use --Special use areas and parks are for specialized or single purpose recreation activities. There are no specific standards for size or acreage and Lubbock has 572 acres of special use areas. Examples of these areas include Berl Huffman Athletic Complex and the Buddy Holly Plaza. Linear Park/Linkages--This type of area links parks together. NRPA does not have any specific standards for linear parks and there are 2 acres within the parks system located between the Atzlan area and Mackenzie Park. even cities were compared to Lubbock with regard to their respective parks and recreation department services. These included Arlington, Corpus Christi, Amarillo, Abilene, Wichita Falls, Odessa, and Denton. Lubbock ranked third in population and square miles, second in total park acres, and fourth in park acres per 1,000 population. Regarding facilities, the city was second in the number of volleyball courts, third in baseball and soccer fields, sixth in softball fields, and eighth in hike, bike and walk trails. Overall, Lubbock was in the middle when compared to the selected cities, while Amarillo provided the most facilities and Arlington the least per 1,000 population. An important component of the process was public input. In order to assess the needs of the public, focus groups, surveys and public meetings were conducted. Four focus groups representing youth sports, neighborhood associations, adult user groups, and random citizens were held. In addition, 7,000 surveys were sent out at random, 760 to all 7th grade students in LISD and 161 senior citizens for a total of approximately 8,000 surveys. There were three public meetings held in the evenings. 207 Regular City Council Meeting April 9, 1998 Page 208 As a result of the public input process, the Parks Department identified 68 percent of the respondents who were aware of parks and recreation programs and obtained information from the newspaper, family, friends, and city staff. Approximately 49 percent of the respondents utilize elements in the parks system and 20 percent participate in a recreation program. Seven out of ten people were willing to pay a user fee for recreation facilities and programs and 18 percent were opposed to any user fee. Respondents rated park size, access, waterfowl, playgrounds, and turf high, while they indicated restrooms, trees, security, and flowers were areas to concentrate. Regarding park safety, 27 percent felt parks were very safe, 58 percent somewhat safe, and 7 percent of the respondents were of the opinion that parks were not safe at all. Phase Two Overview At the completion of the needs assessment phase a priority matrix was developed that included, in priority order, public input, staff input, consultant evaluation, and NRPA standards. The results of the priority ranking were tabulated into three categories: high, medium and low priorities. The recommendations and priorities are a result of incorporating the inventory, standards analysis and needs assessment into an action plan to direct the growth, development and maintenance of the parks, recreation and open space system for the next five to ten years. The top five priorities for the City are: 1. Park land acquisition and development to provide facilities for citizens outside of existing neighborhood and community parks service areas. 2. Provide shaded benches and seating areas throughout parks to allow for passive recreation and serve as functional viewing areas for playgrounds and activity areas. 3. Provide new and upgraded playgrounds throughout the city which provide activities for varying age groups and respond to current safety and accessibility guidelines. 4. Beautify the parks and city focal points through the introduction, augmentation and maintenance of trees and flowers throughout the parks system. 5. Provide hard surface and soft surface hike/bike/walk trails within the parks to allow for a variety of uses. A copy of the Executive Summary of the Master Plan was included in the agenda backup. The Parks and Recreation Board and the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Task Force have endorsed the Master plan. The plan complies with the Texas Recreation and Parks Account Program Procedural Guide which will enhance the City's ability to acquire grants. The plan will serve as a guide for the City of Lubbock for the next five to ten years. Rusty Black, Parks and Recreation Manager, and Tommy Gonzalez, Director of Civic Services, presented staff comments. Staff recommended the approval of this resolution. 208 Regular City Council Meeting April 9, 1998 Page 209 Motion was made by Councilmember Patterson, seconded by Councilmember Nelson to pass Resolution No. 5818 as recommended by staff.

Consider Resolution No. 5819 authorizing the Mayor to sign a Purchase Contract between the City of La Grange, Texas, the Texas Municipal Gas Corporation, and the City of Lubbock and Lubbock Power and Light. RESOLUTION NO. 5819 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 a Purchase Contract for the purchase of natural gas, by and between the City of Lubbock and Texas Municipal Gas Corporation ("TMGC"), attached hereto, which Contract 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 this Resolution as if fully copied herein in detail. Passed by City Council this 9th day of April, 1998. /s/ WINDY SITTON WINDY SITTON, MAYOR ATTEST: /s/ Kaythie Darnell -- Kaythie Darnell, City Secretary APPROVED AS TO CONTENT: /s/Paul Thompson Paul Thompson, Managing Director of Electric Utilities A copy of the Contract is filed with Resolution No. 5819. Lubbock Power and Light (LP&L) has been working with the Texas Municipal Gas Corporation (TMGC) to develop an acceptable contract since November of 1996. The recommended contract is the result of these efforts. The Electric Utility Board unanimously recommended this contract for approval at its March 25, 1998 meeting. TMGC is a Texas not -for -profit public facility corporation sponsored by the City of La Grange, Texas. TMGC intends to deliver natural gas to municipalities at prices lower than are available through other traditional methods. TMGC, under Texas law, is exempt from state severance taxes and has the authority to issue tax-exempt bonds to secure gas reserves. All bonds issued by TMGC are secured solely by TMGC, not the participating cities. In addition, TMGC has contracted with Coral Energy Resources (a subsidiary of Shell Oil) to provide any needed exchanges or balancing and to assist with hedging of financial risks. This means that LP&L has potential to reduce its overall gas costs by approximately 10% per year on average over the life of TMGC's properties. TMGC expects to have the program fully initiated in 1999. Regular City Council Meeting April 9, 1998 Page 210 The contract itself provides for the following major points: 1. LP&L will select a gas supplier as it always has under state law. LP&L currently receives most of the gas from LG&E Energy Marketing (LG&E). LG&E has agreed to all the exchange and balancing provisions needed to make the arrangements work. 2. LP&L will receive a discount from TMGC regardless of the gas supplier's price. This is accomplished through various hedging mechanisms used by TMGC and Coral. The amount of this discount is not guaranteed but LP&L cannot pay more for the gas than the supplier's price. TMGC expects initial discounts to be 5 % with average discounts being in the 10 % range. 3. LP&L will not be required to take more gas than it needs. This provision assures the following flexibility: a. If LP&L is sold, no gas is required to be taken. b. If deregulation reduces LP&L sales, LP&L only takes the gas it needs. C. If LP&L can buy cheaper electric power than can be generated in its own plants, then LP&L only takes the gas needed for its generation. d. If economic cycles or mild weather reduce LP&L's sales, then staff only buys the gas needed. 4. LP&L will be committing to a 20-year contract for approximately 90% of our gas needs. By not committing to 100%, LP&L will retain several options to sell power outside of Lubbock. 5. Gas taken under this contract is limited on where it may be used. LP&L cannot sell power generated with this gas outside of Lubbock except to other municipal organizations. 6. LP&L is also limited by "Private Use Restrictions" similar to those presently enforced under existing bond covenants in existing LP&L bonds. Overall, this contract could reduce LP&L's gas costs by approximately $2,000,000 per year. These lower costs will enable LP&L to be even more competitive in Lubbock and to promote more economic development through stable or lower cost of electric power. Robert Massengale, Director of Electric Utilities, presented staff comments. The Electric Utility Board and LP&L staff recommended that the City Council approve the contract. Motion was made by Councilmember Nelson, seconded by Councilmember Patterson to pass Resolution No. 5819 subject to the existing master contract as recommended by staff. Motion carried: 5 Yeas, 0 Nays. 210 Regular City Council Meeting April 9, 1998 Page 211 MISCELLANEOUS (32A.)
