A copy of the Contract is filed with Resolution No. 6117.
New land development and increased changeovers from Southwestern
Public Service have resulted in unprecedented growth of the LP&L
electric distribution system. This growth has placed a great demand on
the Engineering Section of LP&L. Two years ago, when an early
retirement incentive was offered to eligible employees, James C. (Chris)
Ward, an LP&L Senior Electrical Engineering Project Coordinator,
accepted the incentive. Chris, an employee of the Electric Distribution
Engineering section for 29 years, was a key employee in the Engineering
Section and handled many critical projects at the time. In order to keep
projects moving, Chris agreed to continue his employment as a part-time
employee. The Texas Municipal Retirement System rules prevent an
employee from working for a former employer for more than 1000 hours
per year. Since Chris's retirement, the workload in the engineering
department has continued to increase. In an effort to obtain an
immediate increase in the Engineering Section workforce, an expanded
level project was approved in the 1998-99 budget to convert Chris from
a part-time City of Lubbock employee to a full-time contract employee.
This contract will allow Chris to continue his former duties on a full-
time basis without violating the conditions for his TMRS benefits. This
391
Regular City Council Meeting
December 10, 1998
Page 392
contract will also provide immediate relief to the LP&L engineering
section in the form of a fully trained, experienced and qualified
individual.
A significant portion of the current engineering section's backlog
represents new loads and revenues from Southwestern Public Service
customers wanting to switch to LP&L. The sooner that these customers
can be switched over, the sooner the revenues will begin to flow. The
most readily available source of manpower is Chris Ward with his vast
experience and intimate knowledge of the LP&L system, policies and
resources.
Staff recommended approval of the resolution authorizing the Mayor to
execute this contract.
(18.) Resolution No. 6118 authorizing the Mayor to execute a contract
between the City of Lubbock and Plains Cooperative Oil Mill to
acquire electric facilities.
RESOLUTION NO. 6118
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 Contract of Sale with
Plains Cooperative Oil Mill, Inc., for the purchase of a 12,470 volt electric distribution
system, which agreement is attached hereto and which shall constitute and be a part of
this Resolution as if fully copied herein in detail.

A copy of the Contract of Sale is filed with Resolution No. 6118.
Plains Cooperative Oil Mill (PCOM) presently owns and operates a high
voltage electric distribution system within their facility located at 34th
Street and Avenue A. These facilities consist of approximately two
miles of underground high voltage cables and conduits, 35 manholes, 32
transformers, and other related equipment. Lubbock Power and Light
supplies PCOM with wholesale electric power that is distributed to the
0%
Regular City Council Meeting

Page 393
various plant facilities through PCOM's distribution system. This
distribution system has been designed to LP&L construction standards
and has been maintained by LP&L since the system's construction in
1987. Under this arrangement, LP&L was reimbursed for all labor and
materials expended in the maintenance operation. PCOM has always
been responsible for the day-to-day operation and construction of the
system.
Changes in OSHA's industrial safety rules over the last few years have
placed an ever-increasing emphasis on electrical safety. While PCOM
finds that they are well staffed and trained to handle their core business
of designing, constructing and operating a cotton seed oil mill, the
demands of maintaining a qualified and trained staff to operate the high
voltage systems are becoming increasingly difficult. When PCOM began
construction of their new oil mill at East 50th Street and Guava Avenue,
they elected not to construct their own high voltage system at this site.
LP&L furnished and installed all of the necessary cables, conduits and
transformers necessary to service this new plant.
On the other hand, while LP&L is obviously staffed and equipped to
maintain such a system, possible deregulation of the electric utility
business brings with it the threat of losing large industrial customers to
competitors if they do so at a lower price.
In discussions with PCOM, a plan was developed which will yield
benefits to both PCOM and LP&L. Under the proposed contract,
PCOM will transfer ownership of their existing underground high
voltage distribution system to LP&L at no cost to LP&L. In turn LP&L
will assume the operation and maintenance responsibilities for the
system. This arrangement frees up PCOM to concentrate on their core
business and, most importantly, LP&L assumes title and control of these
electric facilities, which strengthens LP&L's position in a deregulated
utility environment. A competitor seeking to acquire the PCOM
business that has to transport their electricity to PCOM through LP&L's
system will do so for a fee.
Staff recommended approval of the resolution authorizing the Mayor to
execute this contract.
(19.) Resolution No. 6119 authorizing the Mayor to execute an operating

A copy of the Operating Agreement is filed with Resolution No. 6119.
As part of the on -going effort to provide high quality service and reduce
fleet operating and maintenance costs to City departments, the Fleet
Services Department will become an approved warranty repair facility
for Ford Motor Company. The Fleet Services Department will start
performing warranty repairs for vehicles owned by the City and
manufactured by Ford Motor Company at the City owned repair facility.
This will help reduce downtime to the user department as well as provide
an outside revenue source for Fleet Services Department. Although
Fleet Services will still have the option of using outside local vendors for
warranty repairs if necessary, the majority of warranty repairs can be
performed in house. The warranty service work will be handled with the
same level of authorized staff as a result of a focused effort in the past
year on improving productivity.
Ford Motor Company will reimburse the City at a labor rate of $33 per
hour and a 20% markup of all parts used in warranty related repairs.
Along with the Fleet Services Department becoming an In -House
Warranty Station, it will also become an authorized Pre -Delivery Service
facility at a labor rate of $33 per hour. This will help expedite the
delivery of new vehicles to user departments. In addition to the decrease
in downtime for user departments, staff estimates approximately $30,000
of additional revenue in the first year.

A copy of the Agreement is filed with Resolution No. 6122.
This contract provides for physical examinations for pre -placement job
applicants and promotional candidates, and drug and alcohol screening
services to the City. The service provider will perform drug screening
of pre -placement job applicants, employees who seek promotions,
employees who must comply with the Omnibus Transportation Employee
Testing Act of 1991, and employees whose behavior on the job gives rise
to a reasonable suspicion that drug usage is a problem. The service
provider shall also perform physical examinations for pre -placement job
applicants and promotional candidates, consultations, on -site visits and
expert witness testimony.
Employment Physical Examinations:
The City of Lubbock requires pre -placement or promotional physical
examinations for both Non -Civil Service and Civil Service job
categories. The purpose of the examination is to ensure that an
employee's physical abilities are matched to a job that he/she is capable
of performing safely without undue risk of injury to the employee or
co-workers. The task of matching a person's capabilities to the
appropriate job or job modifications can be a complicated task which
requires special knowledge of the workplace environment.
Approximately 200-250 Non -Civil Service and 100-150 Civil Service
applicants/employees will require physicals each year.

A copy of the Agreement is filed with Resolution No. 6124.
This contract is for the fabrication and installation of a permanent exhibit
at the Buddy Holly Center. The Lubbock Center for the Arts budget
amount for this project is $250,000. One proposal was received from
Southwest Museum Services of Houston, Texas. An evaluation
committee reviewed the proposal using the following criteria:
1. Ability, qualifications and resources of proposer to provide all
components of program and meet deadlines.
Regular City Council Meeting
December 10, 1998
Page 404
Southwest Museum Services has approximately thirty professional
stay`' members with a wide variety of skilled historians, case
designers, graphics designers, and experienced shop personnel
capable of fabricating and installing case work and graphics for
the Buddy Holly Center. Their personnel possess the museum
background, education and experience in the presentation of
artifacts and relevant issues of environmental controls. Previous
projects of a similar nature include exhibit work done for the Dr.
Pepper Museum, Waco; the Strecker Museum, Baylor University;
and the Roanoke Island Festival Park.
2. Demonstration of proposer's qualifications in the fabrication and
installation of exhibition casework and fiber optic lighting.
Southwest Museum Services has successfully fabricated and
installed museum components varying from simple wall panels to
elegant artifact enclosures to period fafades and elaborate
dioramas. They are equipped to deliver custom exhibition
casework and case lighting systems for the presentation of the
permanent collection. Similar projects that they have completed
include the Gregg County Historical Museum Architecture in
Texas Exhibit and the presentation of artifacts for the Port Isabel
Museum.
3. Demonstration of proposer's qualifications in designing and
producing text panels, graphics and signage.
Southwest Museum Services has designed, produced and installed
continuous murals in excess of ten by thirty feet. They have the
staff and equipment needed to meet the specifications required to
design and produce the graphics for timelines and graphics for
the Buddy Holly exhibit casework.
4. Demonstration of proposer's qualifications in authoring
educational interactive computer programs.
Due to the complexity of the design and production of the
interactive computer programs required for the Buddy Holly
exhibit and the failure of Southwest Museum Services to
demonstrate an experience with comparable projects, this item
has been deleted. A design and production team for this
component will be assembled from music historians and designers
with extensive experience authoring educational and interactive
computer programs.
5. Proposed compensation.
Total compensation for the project is $233, 800.
Southwest Museum Services is familiar with all aspects of the design
work, fabrication and installation of the permanent exhibit for the Buddy
Holly Center. They are prepared to meet deadlines critical to the grand
opening of the Center on September 3, 1999. The project personnel are
fully qualified and possess the experience necessary to provide the scope
of services that are required of them. Staff recommended that a contract
be awarded to Southwest Museum Services for the Buddy Holly
permanent exhibit.

This project is for the installation of a video camera monitoring system
that will increase the security of the Water Reclamation Plant and plant
personnel by having better controlled access to the facility. Due to the
many open tanks and hazardous locations on site there is a need to be
able to view the complete site for the City of Lubbock's protection and
for the protection and safety of employees. At times, there are only two
employees on duty. By having the video system, the operators can scan
the complete site and be able to keep sight of an operator that is out
making rounds.
The Wastewater Treatment Plant Safety and Repairs budget amount is
$88,000.
The low bid is $64,500 from Lubbock Audio Visual, Inc, of Lubbock,
Texas.
(28.) Bid #98239--Bicycle Racks (Transit)
This bid is for the purchase of forty-eight bicycle racks to be used by
Citibus in transporting bicyclists to and from work, places of business,
school, appointments, and other necessary tasks. The racks will be used
to allow bicyclists the opportunity to use Fixed Route Service throughout

the City of Lubbock. Equipping the Citibus fleet with bicycle racks may
also increase ridership. The purchase of this equipment is essential to
the improved operations of the transit system operation. Having an
efficient number of racks on vehicles makes for improved customer
service and safety on vehicles. Currently, operators have to deny
bicyclists the opportunity to board provided the occupancy of the vehicle
will not allow for additional riders. Thus, potential patrons of the
Citibus transit system and the City of Lubbock lose an invaluable
service.
The Citibus budget amount is $29,800. Citibus will fund $2,548.80 and
the Federal Transit Authority will fund $22,939.20.
The low bid is $25,488 from Sportworks NW, Inc. of Woodinville,
Washington.
(29.) Bid #98241--Security Lighting Materials, Annual Pricing (Park
Development)
This bid is for the purchase of 152 security light fixtures, 124 mounting
brackets, and 22 poles. Due to the age and condition of some of the
security lighting throughout the park system, replacement of fixtures and
light poles is recommended. Security lighting enhances the quality of
life for the citizens of Lubbock by providing a safe environment in the
parks.

A copy of the Agreement is filed with Resolution No. 6126.
On November 12, 1998, Council approved a hockey agreement between
the City of Lubbock and the Western Professional Hockey League
(WPHL) and the South Plains Hockey Club, Ltd. The agreement was
structured to allow the WPHL to recoup their capital investment in the
Coliseum. The investment is expected to be approximately $1 million.
The agreement also places the City of Lubbock in a position to replace
revenue that will be lost when the basketball teams move from the
Coliseum to their new facility.
The coliseum advertising agreement is structured in the same spirit of
partnership as the hockey contract between the City of Lubbock and the
WPHL and the South Plains Professional Hockey Club (SPPHC) Ltd.
The contract allows SPPHC to sell advertising in the Municipal
Coliseum for temporary and permanent display advertising signage.
SPPHC will share in the advertising commissions with the City of
Lubbock.
Regular City Council Meeting
December 10, 1998
Page 409
The City of Lubbock will collect 10% commissions from temporary
signage and 50% commissions from permanent signage. Lubbock is the
only city of all the WPHL franchises that will collect a commission
percentage of the hockey team's temporary signage. By collecting these
percentages, it provides an opportunity to maintain current level of
advertising dollars. The Municipal Coliseum currently receives
approximately $50,000 in advertising revenue. With the departure of
basketball, it stands to lose a majority of advertising revenue that in all
likelihood will abandon the Coliseum. So, by outsourcing the sale of
advertising for the Municipal Coliseum, the city is placing itself in a
position to replace advertising revenue it would have otherwise lost.
Also, by having a sole source provider for this service, there is no
competition for the same advertising dollar between the City of Lubbock
and SPPHC.
In addition, SPPHC will be given an opportunity to secure corporate
sponsorships for facility naming rights. If successful, the City of
Lubbock could stand to gain additional advertising dollars that it has not
had in the past. Equally important, city staff will be able to allocate
more time to marketing the Civic Center for additional events in this
facility.
The key provisions in the advertising contract include the following:
1. Term becomes effective upon execution by both parties. All
advertising agreements between the City and the current
advertisers that are in place upon execution of this agreement
shall remain in effect until the end of the 1998/99 basketball
season or until those agreements come up for renewal.
2. It is understood and agreed by both parties that SPPHC will
honor all existing advertising contracts by giving advertisers first
right of refusal on advertising space currently in place.
3. The City shall receive a 10% annual commission from the cash
revenues derived from the sales of all temporary signage sold by
SPPHC. The calculation of the City's 10% commission shall be
after deductions for initial documented cost to produce the
signage and SPPHC's 10% employee commission.
4. The City shall receive a 50% annual commission from the cash
revenues derived from the sales of all permanent or year-round
signage sold by SPPHC. The Company shall not sell space for
less than the present rate established by the City. The calculation
of the City's 50% commission shall be after exclusion of
SPPHC's initial documented cost to produce and install the
signage and SPPHC's 10% employee commission.
5. The City authorizes SPPHC to solicit "naming rights"
sponsorships for the Coliseum for a period of 180 days from the
execution date of this agreement. Should the Company be
successful, the City of Lubbock will have full approval prior to
Company entering into an agreement with any sponsors and any
revenues would be shared as follows:
,R
Regular City Council Meeting
December 10, 1998
Page 410
a. Up to $500,000, 80 % to City, 20 % to Company
b. From $501,000 to $1,000,000, 75% to City, 25% to
Company
C. All over $1,000,001, 70% to City, 30% to Company
6. The City authorizes SPPHC to pursue the acquisition of an
outdoor electronic message center through advertising
sponsorships, subject to the approval by the City Administration
and in accordance with the City of Lubbock sign ordinance.
Approvals from Texas Tech University will also be required in
accordance with the operating agreement currently in place
between the City of Lubbock and Texas Tech University. The
City of Lubbock and Company will share equally (50150) in the
advertising sponsorships.
7. The Company shall develop and maintain a comprehensive
advertising program totally integrated and coordinated as to
design, quality and content for the Municipal Coliseum.
8. City will have the ability to negotiate and renew existing
advertising contracts on the scoreboard and retain revenues of
same. Should the City be unable to renew existing advertisers,
then Company shall have the ability to sell advertising on the
scoreboard.
This agreement is the next logical step in launching a marketing plan to
sell advertising that will be mutually beneficial to both the City of
Lubbock and SPPHC.
City staff continues to seek out new opportunities to recover costs,
replace revenue streams or increase revenues. In this case, the city is
seeking to replace an important revenue stream associate in operating the
Municipal Coliseum. The advertising revenue stream may have
otherwise been lost with the departure of basketball. By forming a
partnership and sharing in revenues, both the City of Lubbock and South
Plains Professional Hockey Club Ltd. stand to benefit from this
agreement. With this in mind, staff recommended Council authorize the
Mayor to execute a coliseum advertising display agreement between the
City of Lubbock and the South Plains Hockey Club, Ltd.
