CITIZEN APPEARANCES
( 9.) Bob Schmidt, President, Lubbock Memorial Arboretum Foundation,
announced the kick off of the Tree-Mendous Tree program to
stimulate interest in the importance of trees in West Texas.
Memorial pens, made from the lumber of the Winchester Mulberry
tree formerly growing at 50th and Indiana, were presented to
Councilmembers in appreciation of their work for the City.
The volunteer board of the Lubbock Memorial Arboretum is kicking off
its Tree-Mendous Tree program in an attempt to establish Lubbock as a
leading home of Texas Champion Big Trees. The Foundation's
president, Bob Schmidt, discussed the program's purpose of stimulating
interest in the importance of trees in West Texas and the opportunity of
citizens to nominate big trees for competition for the largest tree of each
species within the boundaries of Lubbock County.
The Lubbock County winners would then be eligible for nomination for
state or national champions. Lubbock is already home to one State
Champion Tree, a Chickasaw Plum located at 4820 38th Street. With
enthusiastic citizen involvement in identifying other candidates, there can
be yet another reason to consider Lubbock the "Home of Champions."

The Winchester Mulberry tree that formerly grew at the intersection of
50th and Indiana is no longer a candidate due to its death and removal a
few years ago. However, its history is preserved in memorial pens made
from its limbs. The Arboretum Board presented the memorial pens to
the Council in appreciation of their work for the City.
The Lubbock Memorial Arboretum Foundation, established in 1963, is a
non-profit organization responsible for the planning, maintenance, and
improvement of the Arboretum and Botanical Gardens. Administered by
an all -volunteer board of fifteen members, the foundation provides
educational programs and promotes research and development in
gardening and growing experiences for the public.
The Lubbock Memorial Arboretum fulfills its purpose by showcasing an
extensive selection of plant specimens and an experimental growing area
as well as by providing educational programs. The Tree-Mendous Tree
program is intended to highlight the quality of life in Lubbock and to
establish the city as a leading home in Texas Champion Big Trees.
The Council was presented with memorial pens made from one of the
most famous trees in Lubbock; the Winchester Mulberry formerly
located at 50th and Indiana.
( 9A.) Presentation of Special Recognition to the Lubbock County Bar
Association for "Keep Justice Alive" Week.
The Rule of Law and the integrity of the legal system are the
cornerstones upon which our democracy is built. The Constitution sets
out the inalienable rights of all people; it is incumbent that the public has
a stake and a responsibility for the continued strength of our democracy.
The public's perception and understanding of the legal system and the
legal profession has eroded over the past several decades. The State Bar
of Texas has developed an educational plan whereby it will partner with
lawyers, local and specialty bar associations, and members of the
judiciary to restore public trust and confidence in the legal profession.
Part of that plan includes an initiative to educate the public and especially
young people about the rule of law and familiarize them with
courthouses in their area of the state. The Lubbock County Bar
Association has planned events throughout the week to be a part of this
unified educational program designed to ensure Texas citizens
understand the importance of the rule of law and their part in the legal
system. This special recognition commemorates Keep Justice Alive
week.
Bill Matea, Fred Bowers, and Gordon Treadaway accepted this
recognition on behalf of the Lubbock Bar Association.
( 9B.) Presentation of a Special Recognition to Crestview Elementary
School by Acting Mayor Jeremy Wilkins.
10-year-old Jeremy Wilkins was honored as "Mayor for a Day" through
the Make -A -Wish Foundation. As acting mayor, he presented a special
recognition to Crestview Elementary School in recognition of the
students' activism in the community. Mayor Sitton then invited Jeremy
to sit on the dais and assist her in presiding over the remainder of the
Council meeting.

Officer, Budget and Research Manager and Managing Director.
7. §3.03 (10). Add that authorized independent contractor is treated

8. §3.06. Add provision that the employee must designate another
qualified investment product on failure of a vendor to continue to

At the September 10, 1998 City Council meeting, an offer was made to
the above owners for this tract of right-of-way needed for the railroad
relocation project. When the City's appraiser, Jim Bowman, MAI,
visited with the owners, they refused to let him on the property. His
first appraisal indicated a value of $107,300 for this tract of land. They
refused this offer, but after negotiations, allowed the appraiser on the
property, discussed with him additional land sales in the area, and
additional information about their property. After reviewing this
366

Page 367
information and visiting with the owners, the appraiser entered this new
information into his appraisal and came up with a new value of $152,500
for the property. Of this amount, $9,500 is for the 10.51 acres and
$143,000 is for the damages the majority of which result from the
owner's irrigation system being altered.
This resolution authorizes the Right -of -Way Department to offer the
property owners this appraised amount and if refused, institute
condemnation proceedings to acquire the property. This is a probable
condemnation case.

these property owners.

A list of improved streets is filed with Resolution No. 6110
This item is a routine acceptance of the 1998 Street Maintenance
Program, which consisted of single -course and two -course surface
treatment on all streets listed in the acceptance resolution. The contract
amount was $1,867,783.49. Final contract price is $1,948,021.10. The
overage is because of extra work on the Parks Department part of the
contract (mostly on the seal coat work at Mackenzie Park) and extra hot
mix paving on City of Lubbock property (the road and parking lot at the
Purchasing Department storage facility south of East 19th Street and east
of Weber Drive and a hot mix overlay of the parking lot north of City
Hall on 13th Street). The extra money came from the Parks Department
and from unused money from the 1997 Street Maintenance Program.
Final payment due the contractor upon acceptance is $84,774.60.
The Street Department recommended the approval of this routine
acceptance and the release of the final $84,774.60 of the contract to the

A copy of Change Order No. 5 is filed with Resolution No. 6111.
This change order is to install two new scales at the new landfill site,
instead of one new scale, and relocating the existing scales at the
Avenue P site. With the increased need for scales at the existing
Avenue P landfill for the composting operation and the longer time
frame that both landfills will be open, this plan will allow more efficient
operation at both locations.
Adequate funding exists in the Solid Waste Management Fund to cover
the increased costs of $64,773.
The Solid Waste Management Department and the Competition and
Contracts Manager recommended approval of the first reading of this
resolution to authorize this change order.
