CITIZEN APPEARANCES
( 8.) Presentation of a special recognition to David Harmon, President of
American Bank of Commerce, for the company's donation of
computer equipment to the Parks and Recreation Department.
American Bank of Commerce (ABC), established in 1962, donated 25
computers to the Parks and Recreation Department for use in the
community centers. These machines became available after the
computer system was upgraded at the main bank located at West 82nd
and Brownfield Highway in Wolfforth. Information Technology
determined that five of the machines have adequate processing speed and
memory to be used by the general public.
These computers, which feature the Windows 3.1 operating system,
make it possible for citizens of all ages to have computer access at the
Trejo Supercenter, Mae Simmons Senior Center and Copper -Rawlings
Center. The machines are appealing to citizens wishing to perform basic
word processing and spreadsheets.
American Bank of Commerce, which has two branches in Lubbock and
three branches in Austin, employs the slogan: "In the business of
community banking." The donation, which illustrates a commitment to
the community, is another example of the public -private partnerships that
are improving the quality of life in Lubbock.
The Mayor presented this special recognition to Linda Huffaker, who
accepted on behalf of David Harmon, President of American Bank of
Commerce, for the company's donation of computer equipment to the
Parks and Recreation Department.
( 9.) Presentation of special recognition certificates in honor of Lubbock
becoming a Community of Promise within the America's Promise:
The Alliance For Youth movement.
Recently, the City Of Lubbock has been deemed a Community of
Promise. America's Promise: The Alliance For Youth is a movement,
led by General Colin L. Powell, that is dedicated to mobilizing the
nation to ensure our children and youth have access to fundamental
resources they need to become successful adults. The organization is
founded on five basic premises:
1. Mentor: An on -going relationship with a caring adult (parent,
tutor, coach...).
2. Protect: Safe places and structured activities during non -school
hours.
3. Nurture: A healthy start.
4. Prepare: A marketable skill through effective education.
5. Serve: An opportunity to give back through community service.
The steering committee was chaired by Irasema Velasquez. The
Volunteer Center of Lubbock, under direction of Louise Cummins, has
assisted in the effort to make Lubbock a Community of Promise. Louise
Cummins provided a list of individuals who were present at the Council
meeting that were directly involved in the America's Promise effort in
Lubbock.

TOP TEN LIST
Councilmember David Nelson gave his Top Ten List of Positive Things
About Lubbock.
No. 10 is Less is More. People who visit or move to Lubbock from
larger metropolitan cities are delighted to find that our city has a lot
"less" to offer. Such as less violent crime, less humidity, less traffic
congestion, less overcast days, less hills and curves to make your streets
dangerous, less hectic pace, less lines in restaurants, less drive time and
gas expense, and much less cost of living. And, most of all, a lot less
unfriendly people. Let's don't take those for granted; let's realize that
"less" really means more in the City of Lubbock.
No. 9 is United Gardeners. When asked the age-old question "How
does your garden grow?" Lubbock can answer that it grows great.
Lubbock Green is a community garden program that has helped create
and maintain Lubbock neighborhood gardens since 1993. This season 32
community gardens sprang up all over the city, yielding healthy food,
beautifying our surroundings, and uniting neighbors young and old.
Congratulations to Lubbock Green for cultivating not only great gardens,
but community spirit as well.
No. 8 is Burgess, as in Anita. I don't know if any of you saw the article
that was in the newspaper on Monday highlighting the achievement that
our City Attorney Anita Burgess has accomplished, being one of three
female Marine colonels in the United States Marine Corps that are also
attorneys. This is an accomplishment that the Marine Corps has
recognized as being very unique, and we are very fortunate to have the
caliber of person in Anita Burgess as our City Attorney. She is four
years our City Attorney, and she handles everything from every item on
the agenda, whether it's executive session, legislative matters, action
items, contractual matters. She does an excellent job for our
community, for our Council, and she is to be commended and
applauded.
No. 7 is Beauty, Understated. We sometimes assume that if we don't
see mountains, streams, or beaches immediately when we step outside,
that there is no beauty. How wrong is that? Lubbock is blessed instead
with "understated beauty." For example, farmers' fields look like a
giant patchwork quilt when we fly into our airport. And, to be quite
honest, for all of us the scenery is the sky, that ever -changing blue
backdrop we see most every day of the year, 277 days of sunshine by the
way. And it's usually the envy of most people in other parts of the
world. If there's ever a doubt that Lubbock has beauty, just look up.
No. 6 is Orderly Makeup. Lubbock is a tidy community. It has a well
planned, well laid out example of a grid system with our streets, which is
an alphabetically arranged plan of north/south avenues combined with
the ascending numerically arranged east/west streets. Anybody can find
their way around Lubbock, regardless of whether they've been in town
for five minutes or five years. We have a well-defined method of city
and county government; we have an excellent public school system,
university educational systems, and an unparalleled medical and hospital
service system. We have all the cultural offerings and all the
106
Regular City Council Meeting
August 26, 1999
Page 107
entertainment venues that we need, all within 15 minutes. It is truly an
orderly offering of large city opportunities in the friendly environment of
a small city, without the large city hassles.
No. 5 is Cass, as in Bob. Bob is our City Manager and has informed me
today that he has been an employee of the City of Lubbock for between
23 and 24 years. I told him that he was about "used up." And
fortunately, he said, "No, I'm not." He has indicated to us that he is a
big team player and is willing to be with the City of Lubbock for an
extended time in the future. Bob has done a good job over the 23 plus
years that he has been with the City of Lubbock. He started at the
bottom, and he has risen to the top. Without his leadership, without his
integrity, without his strategic direction and foresight, Lubbock would
not be the financially sound, well -respected community that it is, not
only in the State of Texas, but within the Nation; Y2K being an example.
So, we're commending Bob Cass as our City Manager today and
re-emphasize that he truly is one of the "Top Ten Positive Things About
Our Community." Thanks, Bob.
No. 4 is Kaythie Darnell, our City Secretary. If you can't tell by now,
the City Council hires three people in this entire city: the City Manager,
the City Attorney and the City Secretary; and we're highlighting those
three today. Kaythie has been our City Secretary for probably three
years, and she recently completed all of her course work to be certified
by the Texas Municipal Clerks Association. Her job as City Secretary is
records keeping and preservation, election administration, and
administrative duties. She does a good job; she serves the city well, and
we are proud to have her as our City Secretary.
No. 3 is Yearbook of Financial Success. This is a synopsis of our
budget. We are voting today to finalize this budget. We have already
passed it on its first reading. This represents certainly hundreds and
hundreds of man-hours, not only city staff time, but of Council time.
And it reflects, most importantly, sound financial status for this city.
This is a $250 million operation, and the work that goes into putting this
on a level where all the services that our citizens demand are provided at
an economical, efficient and superior method is phenomenal. Our
financial staff, Betsy Bucy and Anna Mosqueda, deputy city manager,
Debbie Forte, and all of our staff and managing directors have put in
many long hours in making this budget a good, working budget, and I'm
proud to say that Council today is proud to have that presented to us and
proud to put that into action. Yearbook of financial success speaks well
for Lubbock.
No. 2 is Eleemosoynary Spirit. I think maybe Ty suggested this.
Eleemosoynary means "philanthropic spirit." And I'm so glad that we
have recognized Lubbock as a city of promise today. I just want you to
know that Lubbock is unique; we are a giving community. We have a
charitable spirit in this community. As a matter of fact, the Volunteer
Center said that almost 50 %, 49.2 % of all adults in this city give over
four hours a week to volunteer efforts, to charitable organizations.
Think of all the man-hours that contribute to providing those needs of
our community. Certainly, our United Way effort, the $3.5 million that
that generates is just the tip of the iceberg of all the financial
contributions that each of us in this community gives to those charitable
organizations that do what needs to be done to help all the folks in our
community. What a tremendous spirit we have, eleemosoynary spirit!

No. 1 is Sam Ayers. Who is Sam Ayers? Sam is principal of Roscoe
Wilson Elementary School. He has been here in Lubbock as a teacher
and principal for over 13 years. He has recently published a book,
through the Texas Council for Social Studies, entitled Buddy Holly: A
Legacy of Music. This book is primarily for children --probably children
of all ages, however --focusing on the life of Buddy Holly here in
Lubbock during his growing -up years. It's an easily read, short
biography reflecting this Lubbock musical legend's education in the
public schools and family life here in Lubbock. The book will be
provided free to all schools here in Lubbock and will be available for
sale to the public beginning next week during the Music Crossroads of
Texas Music Festival, beginning September 3 and running through
September 5. Lubbock will open its collective doors and roll out the red
carpet when music fans from around the world will converge on our city
for this music festival, now in its third year. Dozens of mostly free
activities for music lovers --including concerts by the Crickets, the
Coasters, Big Bopper, Jr. --will take place during the three-day
celebration, which centers around Buddy Holly's birthday. City, civic
and fine arts organizations --including the Lubbock Symphony Orchestra
who will be performing a special concert --plus local businesses are to be
commended for their team effort to make this event a memorable one for
visitors and Lubbock natives alike. This is yet another reason to "rave
on" about Lubbock and the entertainment opportunities we have in this
wonderful city.

As a result of two major projects undertaken during fiscal year 1998-
1999 and increased operating requirements over the past several years, it
has become necessary to increase sewer rates in order to meet the annual
financial requirements associated with wastewater collection, treatment
and disposal. After extensive review of various scenarios using a ten-
year rate model, staff has determined that a minimum six percent rate
increase was necessary. The first increase will be three percent
beginning October 1, 1999; the second three percent increase will be
effective October 1, 2000. This was the first in a series of increases that
will be required to meet operational obligations. To determine 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. The last series of increases were 1991-1994 and were
dedicated to funding the rehabilitation of the wastewater plant and the
rehabilitation and expansion of the land application site. For the second
reading the ordinance reflects a two-year rate increase, phased in at three
percent each year.
Staff recommended the passage of this ordinance.

This is the first of three successive rate increases necessary to fund The
North Panhandle Water Project. Additional increases of four percent
and five percent, respectively, will be effective October 1, 2000 and
October 1, 2001. As has been previously discussed with Council, a 15%
rate increase had originally been anticipated but was able to be deferred
for several years as a result of both being able to cashflow portions of
the project and because of CRMWA delays on the project.
Staff recommended the passage of this ordinance.

In 1995, the City Council adopted an ordinance authorizing an annual
repeating increase to TMRS retirement annuities. The increase was
equal to 30 % of CPI change. Representatives of the retirees' association
had requested the City to fund increases equal to 70% of CPI change.
The City's desire was to phase in a higher level of increase as budget
considerations permitted. In 1998, the City Council adopted an
ordinance raising the increase rate to 40% of CPI change.
III
Regular City Council Meeting
August 26, 1999
Page 112
The City recommended adoption of an annual repeating increase for
annuities equal to 50% of CPI change. If adopted, an individual's
monthly benefit amount will increase by 50 % of the total increase in the
Consumer Price Index since the individual's retirement, less any
previous increases. Total change in CPI is calculated for the period
beginning on the effective date of retirement and ending 13 months prior
to the effective date of the increase. The increase will be effective
January 1, 2000.
Staff recommended approval.

Kirt Villyard owns Clousseau's business, which is on the west side of
Buddy Holly Avenue, just south of 18th Street. Mr. Villyard desires to
fence in a portion of Buddy Holly Avenue right-of-way with a decorative
3-foot tall wrought iron fence and have tables set in this area for drinking
and dining. The area to be fenced in measures 8.5 feet east to west by
48 feet north to south. This area will be located in the concrete portion
of the parkway of Buddy Holly Avenue and will not interfere with the
newly bricked portion. Pedestrian access will not be hindered since this
is a wide parkway. This license has been reviewed by several members
of our planning, zoning, and streets department to assure that its decor
will fit in the Depot District and that certain customer rules will have to
be followed.
The cost for this license will be as follows:
8.5 feet x 48 feet = 408 square feet of parkway to be fenced in. Using
the street -use license formula and adjacent land values per square feet,
the cost for this license per year will be: 408 square feet x $2.00 per
square feet = $816 x 10% = $81.60 or $408 per five-year term of this
20-year license.
The Right -of -Way Department recommended the approval of this street -
use license.

These funds are requested for the purchase of equipment for the Lubbock
Police Department and to authorize the expenditure of one -ninth
matching funds upon the awarding of the grant. The Omnibus Fiscal
Year 1999 Appropriations Act (Public Law 104-208) authorizes the
Director of the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) to make funds
available to local units of government under the Local Law Enforcement
Block Grants (LLEBG) Program for the purposes of reducing crime and
improving public safety.
The Police Department of the City of Lubbock requested that the City
Council authorize the Mayor to execute the grant application with the
United States Department of Justice. The Lubbock Police Department
requested this grant to purchase new technologies and create an
information -sharing program between the Lubbock Police Department
and the Lubbock County Sheriff's Office and other Lubbock county law
enforcement agencies. Some of the funds may be used to purchase new
computer equipment and upgrade existing computer equipment as needed
to assume compatibility of computer hardware and software.
Purchases may also include upgrading equipment or purchasing new
technologies that provide better officer safety and training and enhance
public safety. The grant money and the City of Lubbock's matching
portion will be spent on new technologies that will help to better
coordinate the crime prevention efforts of the Lubbock Police
Department.
The grant requires one -ninth matching funds from the City in cash to be
obligated and expended during the Federal project period.
The Police Department is requesting a grant in the amount of $454,708.
The City's share will be $50,523.
The grant also calls for the City to establish an advisory board to review
the application for funding and make non -binding recommendations on
the use of the funding.

A copy of the Rental Use Policy is filed with Resolution No. 6472.
In the FY 1998-99 Revised Budget, the City Council approved the
purchase of watercraft to expand recreation opportunities in the park
system. Currently sailboats, canoes, kayaks, pedal boats, and rafts may
be used at the lakes on Maxey, Elmore, Leftwich, and the Canyon Lakes
System. The Parks and Recreation Department is initiating a small boat
rental program to take advantage of the water resource on certain parks.
The Parks and Recreation Department has purchased six pedal boats,
four canoes, and three kayaks to implement a pilot rental project at
Maxey Park. These craft will be available for rental and use on Maxey
Park for a one-year period. Maxey was chosen for two reasons. First,
the staff at the Community Center will be utilized to implement the
123
Regular City Council Meeting
August 26, 1999
Page 124
program; no additional staff will be required. Second, Maxey is a
controlled environment. Mae Simmons was considered initially to be
part of the pilot program. However, Canyon Lake Six does not fit the
criteria of the pilot program, because Lake Six passes under Martin
Luther King Boulevard, and because of the way that it bends, the
Community Center staff would not be able to monitor the use of the
boats and the safety of the patrons.
Pursuant to Section 2-259 of the Code of Ordinances, the Parks and
Recreation Board, at their June 22 meeting, recommended the following
rental rates:
• Pedal Boats $5.00 per hour or any portion of an hour
• Kayaks $5.00 per hour or any portion of an hour
• Canoes $10.00 per day or $20.00 per weekend
These rates were determined by comparing rates used by other cities and
organizations including Austin, Texas; Bloomington, Illinois; Littleton,
Colorado; Georgetown, South Carolina; San Diego, California; and
Texas Tech University.
Cost recovery varies by rental rate and type of craft. For instance, each
pedal boat will fully pay for itself after 110 hours of rental. The cost of
one canoe will be recovered after 48-day rentals, and the cost of the
kayak will be recovered after 100 hours of rental.
After one year, evaluation of the program will include rental frequency
and the extent to which the program has minimized liability. If proven
to be successful, the program will be expanded to include rentals from
Mae Simmons and use on the other approved lakes in the park system.
Staff recommended that Council adopt the resolution approving rental
rates for watercraft at City parks where such activities are permitted.

is the second reading of the ordinance adopting the budget for the City of
Lubbock for Fiscal Year 1999-2000. The budget ordinance must be
considered first, followed by the ordinance on the tax rate.
A public hearing on the budget was held on Thursday, August 12 at
5:30 p.m. and notices published as required by state law to allow
taxpayers an opportunity to comment on the proposed FY 1999-2000.
Staff comments were provided by Anna Mosqueda, Director of
Management Services.
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 and
Community Centers.
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 58 cents per
$100 evaluation.
This budget incorporates the first 3 % of a proposed 6 % rate increase for
the Sewer Fund and the first 3 % of a proposed 12 % increase for the
Water Fund to fund the North Panhandle Plains Project. The increase
for this project was originally proposed to be 15%. As mentioned in the
August 12 public hearing, the water and sewer rate ordinances have been
revised to reflect rates proposed for a three year period for the Water
Fund and for a two year period for the Sewer Fund.
The Community Investment Fund established last year will receive 1 %
of gross revenues from General Fund and those Enterprise Funds that
benefit from community growth. Additionally, the Solid Waste Fund
will contribute an additional enhanced contribution of $1,000,000 to the
Community Investment Fund. The Community Investment Fund is a
separate fund that will be for economic development projects as
approved by Council. At the end of each fiscal year the 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 prior to transfer to ensure that the transfer to the Community
Investment Fund does not jeopardize the integrity of the contributing
operating funds.
GENERAL FUND:
The rate of 58 cents per $100 valuation (which was the same as adopted
last year) will raise additional revenue as result of new growth and re-
evaluations.
This year's total taxable value as certified by the Lubbock Central
Appraisal District is $6,180,041,846.
General Fund expenditures are projected to be $84,182,794. This
represents an increase of $398,084 or less than one-half of one percent
over the original 1989-99 budget. This includes a one-time fund balance
utilization of $671,754 for one-time capital item expenditures.

Mayor Sitton opened the public hearing at 11:00 a. m. Joe McWilliams
appeared on behalf of Precious Steps. No one appeared in opposition.
Mayor Sitton closed the hearing at 11:02 a. in.
Mr. McWilliams purchased a fire station from the City of Lubbock and
intends to provide a neighborhood child care facility in the building.
Adjacent land use was residential in all directions.
Although the structure is non-residential, it has been on the edge of the
neighborhood for many years. The proposal is reasonably consistent
with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and zoning policy. The re -use
of the structure for daycare should be an asset to the area.
Zenith is a collector level street with access to Broadway. The proposal
should have no effect on traffic in the area.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the
request subject to the following condition:
Limited to a daycare.
Randy Henson, Senior Planner, presented staff comments.
The staff supported the recommendation of the Planning Commission.

Mayor Sitton opened the public hearing at 11:04 a. in. Pam Brink
appeared on behalf of the Lubbock Heritage Society. Larry Byers spoke
in favor of the zone change. No one appeared in opposition. Mayor
Sitton closed the hearing at 11:14 a. in.
In 1998, Bell Dairy processed a specific use zone case to accommodate
an expansion of the operation. Within the site plan for expansion, a
structure on the north side of 2nd Street would have been demolished to
accommodate the growth plan. That structure has had numerous names
and uses and is being referred to as the former Lawson's Skating Rink
within this discussion. The specific historical significance of this
building is linked to Buddy Holly. It is said that Buddy first introduced
his style of rock-ii-roll music publicly in this skating rink.
Design Historic "DH" zoning is an overlay to the base zoning, which is
M-1 Specific Use at the Bell location. The "DH" status exists to
recognize and preserve the external character of architectural and historic
resources within the community. The overlay zoning requires a review
by the Urban Design Commission before any exterior changes are made
to the structure, but the zoning has no effect on what the building is used
for nor interior changes.
With consideration of "DH" or Design Historic zoning for the structure,
the current site plan must be amended. Since the facilities planning
group at Bell has not yet had time to reconfigure their plans for the
expansion to accommodate leaving the skating rink building in place, the
staff recommended a condition changing the Specific Use Permit to allow
Bell and the City staff to agree on an amended development plan after
they have reassessed their plans. The building has potential for
numerous reuses within Bell. The City staff has a keen interest in
insuring that the expansion plans for Bell Dairy remain viable and will
work aggressively toward that end.
The proposal meets both the Comprehensive Land Use Plan policies for
historic preservation and zoning policies. The Code lists 13 criteria
within which to evaluate requests for DH status.

change from C-3 to C4 Specific Use for mini warehouses/ automatic
car wash on Tract F, Crow's Nest Addition (first reading).

AND PROVIDING FOR PUBLICATION.
Mayor Sitton opened the public hearing at 11:18 a. m. No one appeared
to present the zone change. No one appeared in opposition. Mayor
Sitton closed the hearing at 11:19 a. in.
The request is to utilize the back portion of a parcel between Frankford
and Fulton, south of 4th Street, for a mini warehouse and self -serve car
wash project. The self -serve car wash was currently a permitted use on
the property, which was zoned C-3. Adjacent land uses:
North - commercial, partially vacant
South - town homes
East - commercial
West - residential, partially developed
The Comprehensive Land Use Plan recommended that C-4 be located on
State or Federal highways; 4th Street has a Farm to Market designation
at this location. The Specific Use section of the Zoning Code requires
that any mini warehouse project have a solid masonry fence adjacent to
any residential property. In this request, the entire perimeter wall of the
compound is cinder block. The proponent offered during the hearing to
use split face block, a concrete block product, on the east and west ends
of the project. Access will be from one gate located behind the car wash
and adjacent to the office. All of the storage lockers will be accessed
from inside the perimeter wall. Entrance to the compound will be by
card through an electronic gate. The project will be monitored with
closed circuit television.
The project should have little effect on traffic. Being shielded from 4th
and Frankford by the remaining C-3 on the front, the use seems to make
good use of the rear portion of the large parcel. Several citizens
expressed concerns:
146
Regular City Council Meeting

Page 147
1. Drainage down the alley to the south. This project will help
control drainage in the alley but will not fix the ditch that stands
in water at the east end. That ditch is along Frankford and is a
TxDOT responsibility.
2. Fence materials. An owner of town homes to the south seemed
satisfied that the perimeter wall would be at least ten feet tall and
of concrete block.
3. The pastor of a small church to the west was concerned about
what members would see when leaving the church. The west end
of the project will be split face block with a 43-foot landscaped
area adjacent to Fulton. Note was made that the current church
building is a metal structure with the lower one-third covered
with split face block.
Several adjacent residents did not seem to realize the property was
already zoned C-3.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the
request subject to the following condition:
Split face block is required on the west and east building walls.
Randy Henson, Senior Planner, presented staff comments.
The staff supported the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning

Mayor Sitton opened the public hearing at 11:25 a. in. Pastor George
Johnson appeared on behalf of Primitive Baptist Church. No one
appeared in opposition. Mayor Sitton closed the hearing at 11:27 a. in.
The request would accommodate a small church tract. Adjacent land
uses:
147

The proposal would provide for a church, school, activity center and
residential quarters for church personnel. Adjacent land uses:
North - commercial zoning and a church
South - vacant
East - vacant
West - vacant
The proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and
zoning policy. This corner is actually eligible for commercial zoning,
while the A-2 request will accommodate the needs of the church. The
tract is adjacent to two major thoroughfares, and future impact on the
transportation system will be minimal.

Mayor Sitton opened the public hearing at 11:31 a. m. Bill Cox
appeared on behalf of Nunn Electric Supply Company. Jean Schotts and
Steven Lee appeared in opposition. Mayor Sitton closed the hearing at
12:05 p. m.
The parcel is a portion of a previous zone case along Quaker Avenue that
was Specific Use to accommodate a reduced setback from 78th Street for
the building south of this proposed change. Otherwise, the strip is open
C-2A. Adjacent land uses include commercial to the north, south and
east. Across Quaker is residential.
The request is consistent with the current Comprehensive Land Use
Plan. Also, it is the opinion of the staff that the request is consistent
with zoning policies. An attorney representing the business to the north,
Alcoe Spas, as well as one of the owners of Alcoe, spent a good amount
of time refuting the administrative decision that the proposed Nunn
Electric operation would fit the C-2 definition. The current operation at
Loop 289 and Brownfield is being displaced, and Nunn would like to
move into the former MorLe building, adding about 3,000 square feet to
the east side of the building and increasing the parking lot on the east
side of the building. The renovated parking lot will have access to 78th
Street.
Nunn operates a retail showroom of appliances and light fixtures, as well
as a "city desk" where both retail and wholesale customers pick up
fixtures and supplies. The Senior Planner likened the operation to two
comparable permitted uses in the C-2 portion of the zoning code:
hardware store and new furniture store. One of the complaints from the
adjacent owner is that they operate a "wholesale warehouse" from the
149
Regular City Council Meeting
August 26, 1999
Page 150
current store. Wholesale warehouse with offices is a listed C-4 use.
While Nunn does sell to wholesale customers from the Loop 289 store,
they are selling to contractors or builders with sales tax permits. Items
are picked up in pick-ups or small trucks and autos. No loading of 18
wheel vehicles occurs at this store. Any store in Lubbock that offers a
wholesale price to commercial customers (office supplies, electronics,
household appliance sales, or sporting goods) with a tax permit would fit
the C-4 description made by Alcoe.
Nunn Electric operates a major warehouse and bulk sales facility at 2425
Texas. They described their operation fully during the Council hearing.
Should the Council agree with the contention that the proposed use was
at the level of a C-4 "Wholesale house, sales office and storage -No
cotton storage", then the request should be denied. This portion of
Quaker Avenue should not be zoned C-4. As a procedural note, any
dispute of a citizen about an administrative decision should be appealed
to the Zoning Board of Adjustment, but that appeal will remain open to
anyone in opposition should the current request be approved.
C2A was originally developed for the strip commercial along 50th Street
to reduce the effect of commercial "over the fence" from residential
across the alley. This location does not have residential across the alley,
and the building was already in place for those residences that look at the
property from the west.
It is the opinion of the staff, supported by statements during the hearing,
that the major single concern for the owners of Alcoe is a common drive
between the two parcels. The original developer of the property platted
the two adjacent lots with a common 24-foot drive to serve both
properties. When Alcoe bought the north parcel and constructed a new
building, they were under the impression that no head -in parking would
occur. However, the MorLe group did build head -in parking adjacent to
the easement. The occupants of the two buildings have been at odds ever
since, with the owners of Alcoe contending that the backing movements
of the cars block access to the drive and creates a greater possibility of
their building being hit. The staff has always contended that this
discussion was a civil issue between two adjacent property owners and
not a topic for support or opposition to a zone case. The proposed site
plan for the Nunn project adds a curb cut from Quaker with additional
parking along the front of the structure. They feel this will lessen the
pressure on the common access easement. In addition, Nunn will be
reconstructing and expanding a parking lot east of the building which
will have a curb return on 78th Street. This will give Nunn customers
access to the store from 78th and may reduce traffic using Quaker.
Apparently, Nunn has also offered Alcoe an easement on the parking lot
for a second way into the back of their building (from 78th). Currently
all traffic going to Alcoe must use the common curb cut on Quaker,
whether they park in the front or rear of the building.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the
request subject to the following condition:
Tied to site plan 2127-E as presented to the Planning and Zoning
Commission and signed by the Chairman on August 10, 1999.
Randy Henson, Senior Planner, presented staff comments.

Mayor Sitton opened the public hearing at 12:24 p. in. Bernie Gradel of
Hugo Reed and Associates appeared on behalf of Terry Key. Cliff Watt
spoke in favor of the zone change. No one appeared in opposition.
Mayor Sitton closed the hearing at 12:35 p. in.
Following is a transcript of Bernie Gradel's comments at the hearing:
Mr. Gradel: Yes, Mayor, I have some things I'd like to pass out here, if 1
may. Sorry about the paper, but I feel like we need to make a point
here, because as you mentioned, we do have to have unanimous support
from you. As the Mayor said, I'm Bernie Gradel. I am here on behalf of
Terry Key and his appeal of the Planning and Zoning Commission's
recommendation for denial of this zone case.
Basically, I'd like to review some of our original arguments to lay some
groundwork for what we hope will be a positive response from you. This
zone case deals with a tract of land; I'll refer you, I guess, first to this
drawing that shows the area around our request. Basically if you look at
the area I think that you'll find that this is an unusual area, and that's
the reason we actually made our request based on what we were faced
with there. If you will look in the lower left-hand corner, we've got the
cross (inaudible) area that shows Tract A, LP&L substation. If you will
remember back several months ago, there was quite a discussion about
that substation and possibly putting a communications tower on that site.
Basically, I think we heard from all the residents around that that
substation is really something they wished wasn't there and don't really
want to look into it, so obviously we have moved some residential on the
east side of Indiana away from it.
Now, if you look to the north side of the tract up here, which is Tract 3,
All Saints Addition, it's a church tract. If you look directly across to the
west of it, you've got Tract A, High Country; that's Aldergate's church
tract, Aldergate United Methodist Church. Then right to the south,
we've got the Living Word Foursquare Church, another church tract.
And basically, our contention is that that creates a buffer; that will be the
buffer between a residential area and a commercial area. Basically, all
the returns that we had from the adjacent landowners were in favor of
this request. We had, in addition to the returns, we had contact with
151
Regular City Council Meeting
August 26, 1999
Page 152
several of the residents who were contacted, asking what was going on.
I don't think they returned, but they were satisfied with what we were
proposing.
All that being said, I guess looking back at the pictures you can see the
LP&L substation west of property, looking there. Also, if you look to the
right-hand side of that first page on the picture you will see the Aldergate
United Methodist Church tract, and that's all church land in between
there. Then the other pictures are looking north and south, and
basically, again, we were looking at church property. Which, again, is —
what we're contending is a buffer between our proposed commercial and
the residential area surrounding it.
I refer you now to the site plan that was included with the information
that I brought down, and this is at 105th Street on the north side. This is
one use that we do know that would be going in here if this was
successfully passed. It's a beauty salon; it's a C-1 use, and I've
submitted that for your reference. You can see in here where it would be
located on the north side. It would be looking right directly across the
street into a church tract and backing into the residential.
The reason we are making this appeal, we've had a meeting with staff,
and one of the other items that may or may not have been in your
original packet but we brought over yesterday is a reduced list of uses in
C-2A that we would like to go ahead and incorporate. Plus, we would
like to change our zone request to modify it from C-2A Open, which is 47
uses, to down to these fourteen uses, which we think are quite compatible
with the neighborhood; and also to add in Garden Office and C-1 uses
into that.
Basically, our presentation to the P&Z staff would not support this
request, because it is not policy, it does not meet the policy standards.
But we feel like that the —at least I believe --that it's not necessarily that
it's not a policy, but because it did not quite fit the vision with C-2A, did
not fit the vision of a neighborhood with all those 47 uses. We got a lot
of uses in there, and I'm sure that will be expanded on later.
One other question that came up in the Planning and Zoning
Commission. It was concerned about the number of driveways coming
on to Indiana. Obviously, if you have a C-2A use you could have a
driveway or maybe even two driveways every 100 feet or so. So there
was concern about how many driveways would be cut into Indiana. We
would propose to satisfy that, I guess looking at that you could have
more than nine driveways in that one stretch there, that block. And we
would say that we would cut that back to four driveway openings on the
north and two on the south tract. That should satisfy that concern that
was expressed at Planning and Zoning.
Again, recapping this a little bit, the LP&L substation is what has
created this area; that's my opinion. The church tracts around this were
a result of the substation being there initially, and the church tracts do
act as a buffer to the adjacent residential property. We would like to
secure zoning on this tract. If you have concerns after I've finished my
presentation or after the staff has finished their presentation, I'd
appreciate it if we could have some discussion on that before you take
your vote. With that, I would not necessarily ask that you overturn
Planning and Zoning's recommendation, but I would ask that you would
uphold our modified proposal as we have presented here to you. With
that, I would be glad to answer any questions.

The proposal is C2A zoning on the east side of Indiana, between 103rd
Street and the Living Word Four Square Church. Adjacent land uses:
North - vacant, zoned A-2 for church and church related
South - church
East - vacant, zoned residential
West - LP&L Substation, residential and church
The proposal is not consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
Plan policy for this parcel is residential. During the preliminary plat
process on Stonebrook (a plat recently approved), comment #9 indicated
"Tracts A and B are not eligible for commercial zoning according to the
Comprehensive Land Use Plan." With regard to Plan and zoning policy,
the tracts should remain residential or may be acceptable as church tracts
or other buffer uses.
As commercial, the strip nature of these tracts would not benefit traffic
on Indiana Avenue because of multiple curb cuts.
The Planning and Zoning Commission denied the request. The
proponent has appealed the case and may reduce the request to Garden
Office. As a buffer district, rather than actually "C" commercial, the
proposal would be more consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use
Plan. The property owner has one lot with a building designed for a
hairdresser. GO accommodates offices only, no commercial. C-1 is the
least that would allow the proposal.
Mr. Gradel presented a modified proposal from the one presented to the
Planning and Zoning Commission. Councilmember Ince suggested that
this be taken back before the Planning and Zoning Commission with the
modifications, then brought back to Council. Mr. Watt, speaking on
behalf of Westar Realty, advised that they were working on a timeline
and needed a decision regarding this zone case today.
The staff initially supported the denial of the Planning and Zoning
Commission for C2A and reserved comment about any change in the
district being requested until Council meeting. Randy Henson, Senior
Planner, presented staff comments and advised that staff would support
the zone change with the modifications presented by Mr. Gradel. A
recommendation was made by Council that, if the ordinance passes first
reading, the opposition and the three members of the Planning and Zoning
Commission who voted against the zone change should be contacted in
regard to the suggested modifications.
Motion was made by Councilmember Cooke, seconded by
Councilmember Nelson to overturn the Planning and Zoning
Commission ruling and pass on first reading Ordinance No. 10193 as
presented today. Motion carried: 6 Yeas, 0 Nays.

Reese Air Force Base officially closed September 30, 1997. Since that
date the Lubbock Reese Redevelopment Authority has worked to
redevelop the closed military facility. One reuse project that will have a
positive effect on the redevelopment efforts of Reese Center and the
economic revitalization of various South Plains communities is the
relocation of the military housing units currently located at the air base.
The area South Plains communities have been looking for methods to
expand and improve their local housing stock. A lack of sufficient
housing has also had a detrimental effect on the economic development
efforts in these respective communities. When Reese Air Force Base
closed in September 1997, the opportunity to relocate the military
housing units to area municipalities, and enhance their economic
development efforts, was realized.
The Lubbock Reese Redevelopment Authority has been working with the
South Plains municipalities to broker a real estate deal to convey these
housing units to these area communities. Some of these housing units
will be moved from Reese Center to the South Plains communities by
transporting them through the city limits of Lubbock. Whenever a
housing unit of this nature was transported on Lubbock streets, the city
charges a $50 transport fee. This item requested the City Council to
waive this fee in order to assist the area municipalities and, thus, LRRA
by reducing the moving costs and supporting their economic
development efforts. Even though the fee is waived, a permit will still
be required.
Debra Forte, First Assistant City Manager, presented staff comments.
Since the City of Lubbock has supported the reuse efforts of the Lubbock
Reese Redevelopment Authority to redevelop the closed Reese Air Force
Base, staff recommended the City Council approve the resolution
waiving the $50 transport fee for area municipalities to transport former
military housing units through the city limits to their respective locales.

A copy of the Amendment to Agreement is filed with Resolution No. 6486.
When the existing scoreboard at the Municipal Coliseum was purchased
through sponsorships, Civic Lubbock, Inc. entered into a product
availability agreement with Southwest Coca-Cola Company, a major
sponsor of the scoreboard. This agreement stipulated that Coca-Cola
products would be sold and served through Civic Lubbock's concession
operation. The agreement was a ten-year agreement, and the term of
that agreement ended in March of 1999. The agreement provided for an
156
Regular City Council Meeting

automatic renewal upon mutual agreement. The City of Lubbock has
negotiated with Coca-Cola to provide two video display systems for the
Municipal Coliseum. Because of the cost associated with this purchase,
which will be a donation to the City, it was necessary for the product
availability rights to be renewed at these facilities and that the
concessionaire, Civic Lubbock, Inc., agree to this renewal.
Due to the complexity of this project and other third parties which will
be impacted by this project, it was determined that the agreement
between the City and Civic Lubbock, Inc. should be amended rather than
executing a separate agreement between Coca-Cola and Civic Lubbock,
Inc.
The amendment provides for Civic Lubbock, Inc. to abide by the
exclusive beverage agreement between the City and Southwest Coca-
Cola Bottling Company, in regard to the sale, dispensing, serving and
sampling of beverages through their concession operation during the
term of that agreement. The amendment also states that Civic Lubbock,
Inc. will continue to service the beverage vending machines located in
the Civic Center and Auditorium -Coliseum with products purchased
through Southwest Coca-Cola Bottling Company and retain the revenues
associated with those machines.
Tommy Gonzalez, Director of Civic Services, presented staff comments.
The current product availability agreement provides for an automatic
renewal upon mutual agreement. Since this amendment provides for the
renewal of product availability rights for beverages sold through Civic
Lubbock, Inc.'s concession operation and will enable the City to receive
a state-of-the-art video display system for the Municipal Coliseum
sponsored by Southwest Coca-Cola Bottling Company, staff
recommended that the amendment to the agreement between the City of
Lubbock and Civic Lubbock, Inc. be approved.

A copy of the Agreement is filed with Resolution No. 6485.
In March of 1989, the City of Lubbock and Southwest Coca-Cola (SCC)
Bottling Company entered into a ten-year agreement for pouring and
advertising rights for Coca-Cola beverage products in the Municipal
Coliseum, Auditorium, and Civic Center. In return, the City of
Lubbock received $235,000 in consideration, which along with other
sponsors, paid for the scoreboard in the Coliseum.
As this contract came to an end, City staff began discussions to renew
the advertising and product availability rights contract for the Lubbock
Municipal Coliseum, Auditorium, and Civic Center. The current
agreement expired on March 7, 1999, with SCC having the option to
renew the contract for an additional five years for a mutually acceptable
annual advertising fee.
Because SCC has an option to renew the contract, City staff began
negotiations to secure another long-term agreement. SCC was excited
about the opportunity created by Cotton King Hockey reaching a new
demographic through ice skating classes, public skating, as well as
working toward developing a youth and amateur hockey league. The
Cotton Kings will also showcase 35 home games and two exhibition
games in the Municipal Coliseum.
158
Regular City Council Meeting
August 26, 1999
Page 159
With a primary tenant secured and the opportunity to enhance the
Coliseum, staff worked toward negotiating a higher rate of consideration
from Coca-Cola. The higher rate will pay for two "video" board
systems for the Coliseum. These boards will have advertising panels on
them to display Coca-Cola logos, and any other advertisers that are
secured, as well as the ability to play video advertisements.
The agreement includes $1,000,000 in consideration for the City of
_ Lubbock for the rights of SCC to have exclusive beverage, advertising,
and promotional rights in all City facilities, with the exception of City
Hall and the Lubbock International Airport. The City of Lubbock
currently has a contract with SCC for vending in all City facilities
through April 2001. By entering into this agreement, the City of
Lubbock was collapsing the current agreement into this one. This
agreement was for a term of ten years, with a provision to terminate at
five years depending on the disposition of the Coliseum.
Tommy Gonzalez, Director of Civic Services, and Don Vandiver, First
Assistant City Attorney, presented staff comments.
Staff recommended Council authorize the Mayor to execute the
agreement between the City of Lubbock and Southwest Coca-Cola
Bottling Company with the following amendments:
1. That the agreement does not include Little Leagues and that the
advertising at the ball fields in the Little Leagues and the
concession operations, which are primarily done by volunteer
groups that then use that money to back to the Little Leagues, be
not included, and that we are specific in the wording, that we
state it as such, so that there is no confusion as to what we mean
by "professional" versus "amateur", or Little Leagues.
2. That other products at City ball fields can be sold through these
concession operations, that we do not operate at the Little League
ball fields.
3. That Apani would be able to sell water throughout the City as
they were before. In this scenario, they (Apani) would be able to
sell it through the Little Leagues, and also in the Coliseum only
the bottled water that has the Cotton Kings logo on it and as a
souvenir item at the Coliseum; not iced -down water, but as a
souvenir item representing that they are a sponsor for Cotton
Kings, if the Cotton Kings are agreeable to that, as the City does
not make agreements for the Cotton King organization.
