was expanded to a month long celebration to honor our nation's Hispanic

heritage. Americans of Hispanic descent are astronauts, athletes, doctors,
teachers, lawyers, scientists, City Council members, City Secretaries, and
business people. The hard work and determination of Hispanics continue to
inspire all who dream of a better life for themselves and their families.
During National Hispanic Heritage Month, Ms. DeLeon asked Lubbock
citizens to join millions across the nation in recognizing the proud history and
rich culture of Hispanic Americans, to honor their history, to honor their
diversity, to honor their cultural influences they have made to this great
country. Those joining Council Member DeLeon were Lala Cavazos, Esther
Sepeda, Robert Narvaiz, Henry Martinez, Carmen Vige, Alex Martinez,
Amberly Gomez, Pete Garza, Jose Luis Trevino, County Commissioner
Ysidro Gutierrez, Olga Aguerro, Maria Resendiz, Annette Chavez, Veronica

The City of Shallowater has received a request for annexation from the owner
of a 21.04 acre tract of land adjacent to the east Shallowater city limits. The
land falls within the City of Lubbock's extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ). Any
city considering annexation that reduces another city's ETJ is required by
state law to receive written consent from the municipality whose ETJ will be
reduced before initiating such annexation (Section 42.023, Texas Local
Government Code). A letter is provided from Nathan Ziegler, City Attorney
for Shallowater, requesting that the Lubbock City Council grant the City of
Shallowater permission to annex this tract.

5.1. Zone Case No. 1459-B (1802 Parkway Drive) Ordinance 2nd Reading
- Planning: Ordinance No. 2006-00089 Consider request of North and
East Lubbock Community Development Corporation for a zoning change
from C-3 with conditions to C-2 on 4.73 acres of unplatted land out of
Block A, Section 2, and to consider ordinance.
This parcel is located on Parkway Drive west of the Patterson Library.
Adjacent land uses:
N — Parkway Drive
S — apartments
E — Patterson Library
W — commercial
203
Regular City Council Meeting
September 13, 2006
The North and East Lubbock Community Development Corporation is
seeking C-2 zoning for development of a shopping center or an office
complex. The current C-3 zoning has a setback requirement that is
unnecessary and would interfere with good design for the parcel. The
proposed C-2 could give the Corporation a good potential tenant mix and the
change should not impact negatively any adjacent property.
The proposal represents a minor change in the current Comprehensive Plan,
although the parcel was already zoned C-3 from a time before the City
acquired the parcel. When the parcel was acquired for the library, during the
last draft of the Plan, the designation was left as residential. The tract was
obviously never expected to become residential based on the previous zoning.
As noted, the entire parcel was acquired when the library was built, and the
portion requested for rezoning has been "surplus" since.
The impact on the thoroughfare system should be minimal since Parkway
Drive is already developed as a major thoroughfare.
The Planning Commission recommended approval of the project as C-2. The
motion also includes a minor change to the Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact is anticipated.
Staff supports the recommendation of the Planning Commission.
5.2. Zone Case No. 3065 (6914 82nd Street) Ordinance 2nd Reading
- Planning: Ordinance No. 2006-00090 Consider request of Coldwell
Banker Commercial (for Forty Five Holdings Ltd.) for a zoning change
from T to C-2 on 2.10 acres of unplatted land out of Block AK, Section
30, and to consider ordinance.
ORDINANCE NO.2006-00090
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ZONING ORDINANCE NO. 7084 AND THE
OFFICIAL MAP OF THE CITY OF LUBBOCK MAKING THE FOLLOWING
CHANGES: ZONE CASE NO. 3065; A ZONING CHANGE FROM T TO C-2
ZONING ON 2.10 ACRES OF UNPLATTED LAND OUT OF BLOCK AK, SECTION
30, LUBBOCK, TEXAS; SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS; PROVIDING A PENALTY;
PROVIDING A SAVINGS CLAUSE; AND PROVIDING FOR PUBLICATION.
The request will allow commercial development on a parcel annexed in 2000.
Adjacent land uses:
N — residential
S — church
E — commercial, developed prior to annexation
W — vacant
The request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Amendment adopted
for the area subsequent to annexation in 2000. This particular stretch of 82nd
Street was designated as commercial since strip commercial was prevalent
along most of the developed portions of 82nd Street west of Frankford
Avenue.
Commercial zone cases have been approved both to the east and west of this
parcel. C-2 will provide a comfortable level of commercial for the area,
particularly since residential exists immediately to the north. The Code will
require a screening fence for any project on the parcel.
The project will have little additional impact on the thoroughfare system since
82nd Street is in place as a seven lane street. A recommended condition below
will also benefit or lessen traffic congestion on 82nd Street.
The Planning Commission recommended approval of the request as C-2 with
the following condition:
The entire parcel shall be limited to one curb cut on 82nd Street. The project
will have access from Primrose. If subdivided, a cross access easement should
be in place prior to issuance of a construction permit.

5.3. Zone Case No. 1588-B (east of Avenue X and north of Mac Davis Lane)
Ordinance 2nd Reading - Planning: Ordinance No. 2006-00091
Consider request of McCanton Woods Ltd. for a zoning change from R-2,
A-2, and IHC to CB-3 Specific Use for a hotel on Tracts 7 and 9, Overton
Park Addition, and to consider ordinance.
ORDINANCE NO.2006-00091
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ZONING ORDINANCE NO. 7084 AND THE
OFFICIAL MAP OF THE CITY OF LUBBOCK MAKING THE FOLLOWING
CHANGES: ZONE CASE NO. 1588-B; A ZONING CHANGE FROM R-2, A-2, AND
IHC TO CB-3 SPECIFIC USE FOR A HOTEL ON TRACTS 7 AND 9, OVERTON
PARK ADDITION, LUBBOCK, TEXAS; SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS; PROVIDING
A PENALTY, PROVIDING A SAVINGS CLAUSE AND PROVIDING FOR
PUBLICATION.
The continuing redevelopment of the Overton North Addition includes the
addition of a hotel. The City will be involved in a side project that will include
a meeting facility that will operate in conjunction with the hotel. The hotel is
also on track to become a hands-on participant in the Restaurant, Hotel, and
Institutional Management Program at Texas Tech University.
Adjacent land uses:
N — commercial
S — vacant, will be multi -family
E — multi -family
W — proposed commercial
The project is consistent with the amendment to the Comprehensive Land Use
Plan adopted for the redevelopment. The project is also consistent with zoning
policy for the area.
The concept of "new urbanism" is fairly routine from the zoning perspective
that is being pursued as the area redevelops. The building is pulled forward
toward the street with most parking in the back. The facility does have a drive
through front check -in area illustrated on the site plan.
As all the projects in the area, the facility will have an impact on the
immediate area traffic, but should have no significant impact on the overall
thoroughfare system. The concept of new urbanism is walkability, and the
inclusion of vehicles into that formula will cause this vicinity of town to
always be congested but it is no change from the former subdivision in that
aspect because of being adjacent to Texas Tech.
The Planning Commission recommended the request with the following
conditions:
1. Tied to the building elevation with some minor modifications that are
being required by the developer for greater compatibility with materials
used on the Texas Tech campus.
2. Tied to the proposed site plan.
3. Any parking immediately adjacent to any street shall have the screening
fence described in the Overton Park Right of Way Development
Guidelines.
4. The developer and motel owner will work with the City on a developer
agreement regarding the upgrade of improvement within the adjacent
public right of way.
Subsequent discussion with the developer and staff after the Commission
meeting indicates the need for the Council to consider an additional condition
to meet the occasional objective of the convention center or hotel to host
205
Regular City Council Meeting

events in the outside area on the west side of the building. If approved, please
consider adding the following condition:
The hotel and/or city meeting facility may host open air events within the
patio area adjacent to Avenue X for periods not to exceed two days. Such
functions will be in conjunction with events occurring at the meeting facility
or hotel.
FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact is anticipated.
Staff supports the recommendation of the Planning Commission.
5.4. Zone Case No. 3066 (901 University) Ordinance 2nd Reading - Planning:
Ordinance No. 2006-00092 Consider request of McCanton Woods Ltd.
for a zoning change from C-4 and R-3 to CB-3 Specific Use for fast food
restaurants on Tract 1-111, Overton Park Addition..
ORDINANCE NO.2006-00092
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ZONING ORDINANCE NO. 7084 AND THE
OFFICIAL MAP OF THE CITY OF LUBBOCK MAKING THE FOLLOWING
CHANGES: ZONE CASE NO. 3066; A ZONING CHANGE FROM C-4 AND R-3 TO
CB-3 SPECIFIC USE FOR FAST FOOD RESTAURANTS ON PROPOSED TRACT 1-
B1, OVERTON PARK ADDITION, LUBBOCK, TEXAS; SUBJECT TO
CONDITIONS; PROVIDING A PENALTY, PROVIDING A SAVINGS CLAUSE
AND PROVIDING FOR PUBLICATION.
Continuing the redevelopment of Overton, this block will be divided among
three tenants — all three are on this agenda for zoning approval that will meet
the needs of the applicant and further the concept of "new urbanism" that is
the target of the efforts in the Overton Park redevelopment. These two
restaurants are more traditional in looks as fast food establishments than some
of the other buildings in the area, but have agreed to exterior materials
consistent with the redevelopment of the area and moving the structures
toward the street as much as possible.
Adjacent land uses:
N — commercial
S — commercial
E — proposed hotel
W — Texas Tech University
The proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan amendment
for this area and with zoning policies. There should be no unexpected impact
on the thoroughfare. The applicant has agreed to have a shared curb return on
University for both parcels (where the former alley was located), a concept
that was adopted as a part of the Comprehensive Plan amendment — to limit
the number of curb returns on University while redeveloping the area. The
applicant has agreed to the relocation of the drive access on 9th Street and
loth Street to the back of the lots, a function that will diminish congestion at
the intersection of the two streets with University Avenue.
The Planning Commission recommended the request with the following
conditions:
1. Tied to the proposed site plan and building elevation for the Cane's
restaurant. The building elevation notes brick, clay tile roofing, stucco and
brick to match existing development (Texas Tech).
2. For the north pad, unless a site plan and elevation are available for City
Council review and approval by the first or second reading date, the
applicant shall present both a site plan and building elevation for review
by the Planning Commission as "other business" prior to issuance of a
construction permit.
3. Any parking immediately adjacent to any street shall have the screening
fence described in the Overton Park Right of Way Development
206
Regular City Council Meeting
September 13, 2006
Guidelines, for the portions of 9th Street, IOth Street, and University
Avenue noted on the site plan.
4. The developer(s) will work with the City on a developer agreement
regarding the upgrade of improvement within the adjacent public right-of-
way in a manner consistent with the Overton Park Right of Way
Guidelines.
FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact is anticipated.
Staff supports the recommendation of the Planning Commission.
5.5. Zone case No. 3067 (south of 9th Street and west of Avenue X) Ordinance
2nd Reading - Planning: Ordinance No. 2006-00093 Consider request of
McCanton Woods Ltd. for a zoning change from R-3 to CB-3 Specific
Use for hotel/condominium on Tract 1-132, Overton Park Addition, and to
consider ordinance.
ORDINANCE NO.2006-00093
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ZONING ORDINANCE NO. 7084 AND THE
OFFICIAL MAP OF THE CITY OF LUBBOCK MAKING THE FOLLOWING
CHANGES: ZONE CASE NO. 3067; A ZONING CHANGE FROM R-3 TO CB-3
SPECIFIC USE FOR HOTEL/CONDOMINIUM ON THE PROPOSED TRACT 1-
B2, OVERTON PARK ADDITION, LUBBOCK, TEXAS; SUBJECT TO
CONDITIONS; PROVIDING A PENALTY, PROVIDING A SAVINGS CLAUSE
AND PROVIDING FOR PUBLICATION.
The applicant is requesting zoning that will provide for a hotel where each
unit is a condominium, owned by a person with the right to stay in the room
whenever they choose. The concept is geared to persons living outside
Lubbock who enjoy events in Lubbock and at Texas Tech University who
may want a "home away from home" with the ability to recoup some of their
investment with rental from the "hotel" management when they choose.
Adjacent land use:
N — commercial
S — multi -family and commercial
E — multi -family
W — commercial
The project is in concert with the amended Comprehensive Land Use Plan and
zoning policies. For this project, the architectural firm that produces both site
plans and building elevations has not completely finished the project design.
As a means to accelerate the timetable, staff agreed to process the zone case
with a split alternative for final review of the plans. The proposed conditions
cover all the bases in lieu of having the plans actually before the Planning
Commission.
The project will not create any impact on the thoroughfare system that is not
already anticipated for the area. The building and site plan that are under
development will meet the objectives of the "new urbanism" concept, the
owner of the property is coordinating that process as well as the protections
noted below.
The Planning Commission recommended the request with the following
conditions:
1. Any parking immediately adjacent to any street shall have the screening
fence described in the Overton Park Right -of -Way Development
Guidelines.
2. The developer(s) will work with the City on a developer agreement
regarding the upgrade of improvement within the adjacent public right of
way in a manner consistent with the Overton Park Right of Way
Guidelines.

3. Regarding a site plan and building elevation, the developer shall have two
choices:
a. Should the site plan and elevation be available at the time of the first
or second reading of the ordinance, such materials may be attached to
the zone case as requirements by the City Council.
b. Should the site plan and elevation not be available prior to the first or
second reading of the ordinance, the applicant or subsequent developer
shall have a site plan approval for the project by the Planning
Commission as "other business" prior to issuance of a construction
permit. The plan and elevation shall incorporate the concepts
envisioned within the Overton Park Right of Way Guidelines as well
as the private guidelines created by the developer for on -site
improvements.
FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact is anticipated.
Staff supports the recommendation of the Planning Commission.
5.6. Zone Case No. 2343-B (1901 E. Broadway) Ordinance 2nd Reading
- Planning: Ordinance No. 2006-00094 Consider request of Loy McGee
for a zoning change from C-4 to M-1 limited to truck parts
manufacturing with no outside storage and all unconditionally permitted
C-4 use on the south half of Block 8, East Side Addition, and to consider
ordinance.
ORDINANCE NO.2006-00094
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ZONING ORDINANCE NO. 7084 AND THE
OFFICIAL MAP OF THE CITY OF LUBBOCK MAKING THE FOLLOWING
CHANGES: ZONE CASE NO. 2343-B; A ZONING CHANGE FROM C-4 TO M-1
ZONING LIMITED TO TRUCK PARTS MANUFACTURING AND ALL
PERMITTED C-4 USES, ON THE SOUTH HALF OF BLOCK 8, EAST SIDE
ADDITION, LUBBOCK, TEXAS; SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS; PROVIDING A
PENALTY; PROVIDING A SAVINGS CLAUSE AND PROVIDING FOR
PUBLICATION.
The applicant has operated a truck tank parts manufacturing business on the
property to the north for many years. Property north of the alley and north of
Broadway is zoned M-1. Since the proposed use (manufacturing of any
nature) is not permitted in the strip of C-4 that exists along East Broadway,
Mr. McGee is requesting a change for the frontage on East Broadway to M-1
with several conditions that will allow his business expansion in a manner that
will remain compatible with the surrounding C-4.
The City Council and the North and East Lubbock Community Development
Corporation have a heavy emphasis on retention and expansion of business
locations in this vicinity. Mr. McGee and his family are attempting to follow
that lead. Adjacent use in all directions is either heavy commercial or
manufacturing. The request, as limited by the proposed conditions, is
compatible with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and zoning policy.
The project will have no impact on the thoroughfare system.
The staff is in support of the request as outlined by the applicant that the use
on the property shall be limited to C-4 and one M-1 use, trailer/tank
manufacturing.
The Planning Commission recommended the request with the following
conditions:
1. All manufacturing shall be within an existing or new structure.
2. No outside stack or storage of materials shall be allowed.
3. Display and sales of finished tankers/trucks shall be permitted as a C-4
use.

4. Permitted uses shall be trailer/tank repair and manufacturing and all
permitted C-4 uses.

Located at the northeast corner of 18th Street and Crickets Avenue is a bar
owned by new owner West Texas Nightlife Management LLC, dba The Depot
Cotton Club formally known as Lubbock Blues, Inc., JFK's. The bar will re-
open soon and they need additional parking at this location per the zoning
ordinance for customers of the club. During the evening and nighttime hours,
the owner desires to lease 45 parking spaces from the City at the northeast
corner of the Buddy Holly Center (south of 18th Street, west of Avenue F).
The City will lease these 45 spaces out of Block 232, Original Town Addition,
to The Depot Cotton Club for $225 per month. This was calculated as follows:
$15 per space (typical monthly downtown parking lot space rental rate) x 45

0 funds. This annual contract with the Department of State Health Services,
DSHS Document No. 7560005906-2007, provides financial assistance to
improve or strengthen local public health infrastructure by developing
objectives to address public health issues and utilizing resources provided
through this contract to conduct activities and services that provide or support

This contract supports comprehensive public health services that are
consistent with the Health Department Mission Statement by developing a
functional and effective public health system with the specific goal of
improving public health capacity to respond to both emerging and continuing
public health threats. Grant objectives include sexually transmitted disease
(STD) treatment and education, laboratory testing on samples collected,
providing immunizations and education, providing education and treatment
for notifiable conditions, and providing cancer awareness education and health
fairs as time allows. The Sexually Transmitted Disease Program is designed
to stop the spread of disease by tracking down the partners of those diagnosed
with sexually transmitted diseases and either treating them or referring them
to another clinic or physician.
DSHS will provide $108,204 in financial assistance for salaries and fringe
benefits for four City employees. Two of these employees work in the STD
program, one works in the laboratory, and one works in Health Education.
These programs fulfill the Core Missions of Public Health including disease
prevention, laboratory support, and health education. Without the funding
from the Department of State Health Services contract, local public health
efforts could be impaired and the risk of illness in Lubbock citizens could
increase.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total amount approved for the entire contract year is $108,204, which is
level funding compared to the previous contract year. The City's contribution
is estimated to be $75,123 and is budgeted in the General Fund.

Polymer pumps are used in the sludge handling process to dispense polymer
into the sludge for the gravity belt system and the belt filter presses at the
Water Reclamation Plant. Four pumps are required for the belt presses and
three pumps are required for the gravity belt thickeners.
This is a sole source purchase for Eclipse brand series pumps, which are the
only pumps on the market that incorporate all non-metallic wetted
components. The Eclipse pump, with unique and patented features, is a
proprietary pump manufactured by Pulsafeeder, Inc. of Rochester, New York.
One of these features is a front pullout design that allows the pump to be
worked on without being removed from the equipment. This unique feature
will save in maintenance time by allowing the pump to be fixed quickly
without total removal of the pump. Also the polymer pumps will have the
ability to reduce the speed of the addition of chemical, which will reduce
polymer use and cost of material. New polymer pumps and the availability of
parts will reduce down time of the equipment.
FISCAL IMPACT
$425,000 was appropriated, with $136,716 available in Capital Improvement
Program Project 91042, SEWRP Replace System and Facilities.
There will be savings in the operation maintenance budget due to less down

The original engineering services contract for the South Lubbock Drainage
Improvements Project was awarded to Parkhill, Smith & Cooper, Inc. (PSC)
on April 12, 2001. This project was divided into several different packages to
allow for different components to be built as development warranted. These
projects include:
Package 1 — Main trunk line from Slide Road to Yellowhouse Canyon outfall
and lateral lines from Playa Lakes 85, 87, 90, and 91.
Package 2 — Lateral lines from Playa Lake 28 to 91 and from Playa Lake 92 to
91.
Package 3 — Lateral lines from Playa Lakes 86 and 89.
Package 4 — Lateral lines from Playa Lakes 84 and 84A.
Package 5 — Lateral line from Playa Lake 132.
Package 6 — Trunk line from Juneau to Slide Road and lateral line from Playa
Lake 93.
Package 7 — TxDOT portion of trunk line from Indiana Avenue to University
Avenue.
Construction has been completed for Package 7, and is currently underway for
Package 1 and Package 6 under two separate contracts. The plans and
specifications have been completed on all remaining packages pending any
changes to the packaging components and/or specification requirements. In
anticipation of additional construction packages being released for bid, staff
proposes a time extension to the contract in order for PSC to help facilitate the
process of these packages going to bid.
There have been two previous amendments to the contract. Amendment No.I
was for drilling some test holes in the old sanitary sewer trench backfill and
Amendment No. 2 was for the re -design of the east end of the project and the
breakout of the Juneau to Slide Road segment for inclusion in the 98th Street
widening project. This amendment will be beneficial for the following
reasons:
Allow PSC to help the City tailor the bid packages to the current contract
documents.
Allow PSC to modify/alter the packages to any new conditions at the
individual sites.
Allow PSC to assist the City with questions during the bid phase

For the past several months, Citibus has been working on revisions to the
fixed route service. These revisions are intended to solve the problems of
routes running late for much of the day. There are several reasons that the
routes run late — road and highway construction, more vehicle traffic, and
increased fixed route ridership, including up to 35 wheelchair passengers per
day.
The preliminary route revisions have been presented to the Lubbock Public
Transit Advisory Board and are summarized below:
Route 1 — no change.
Route 2 — no change.

These recommendations do not include restoration of 30 minute service.
In an effort to inform as many passengers as possible of the proposed changes,
Citibus held information sessions at the Downtown Transfer Plaza on August
16, 17, 18, and 19. Maps of the proposed changes were available and
employees were on hand to answer questions, let passengers know about the
public hearings, and hand out comment forms. In addition, the proposed
changes were advertised in the Lubbock Avalanche -Journal, the West Texas
Hispanic News, El Editor, and Southwest Digest. Signs were posted on the
doors to the plaza, and four signs per bus were posted in the fixed route buses.
At their August 22 meeting, the Lubbock Public Transit Advisory Board
recommended that the proposed changes be presented to the City Council for
approval.
The proposed changes will be effective on October 2, 2006.
The proposed route changes will add approximately 3,000 hours of service.
This is necessary for the buses to make their connections at the Downtown
Transfer Plaza.
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost of the proposed route changes is included in the Citibus budget.
The Lubbock Public Transit Advisory Board recommended approval of this
resolution.

The contract change increases the total amount by $174,659 to a grand total of
$642,605 and extends the end term of the contract from December 31, 2006,
to August 31, 2007. The additional funds from DSHS will provide salary and
fringes for six existing full-time positions, training and travel, supplies, and
contractual funding for a pharmacist. This is only partial funding with
additional funding to come later in the contract period. One of the six
positions that are currently vacant will remain unfilled until the federal
funding issues are resolved and any potential 10-20% grant reductions are
considered.
This program will assist efforts in developing a bioterrorism preparedness
plan that addresses selected focus areas and the required critical capabilities.
The focus areas or major outcomes being addressed in FY 2007 include all
hazards planning, information collection and threat recognition, laboratory
testing, health intelligence integration and analysis, public health
epidemiological investigations, emergency response communications,
emergency public information, responder health safety, isolation and
quarantine, mass prophylaxis and vaccination, medical surge, mass care,
environmental health, economic and community recovery, and planning.
This is the fifth funding cycle that federal, state, and local governments have
worked together on a unified plan to strengthen our public health system and
better prepare for a terrorism attack. These plans will improve our health
system by providing greater protection and care for our citizens. Plans are
being developed across the country that will usher in a new era of cooperation
between all levels of government to protect the public health.
Bioterrorism preparedness is one of the essential public health services that no
other entity in Lubbock can provide. Essential public health services are
population -based and are geared towards protecting the health of the public as
a whole. Essential public health services, or the lack of it, have the potential
to affect every single person in Lubbock and in Texas.

This FY 2006-07 contract with the Department of State Health Services
(formerly Texas Department of Health), DSHS Document No. 7560005906
2007, provides financial assistance for preventive, health promotion and direct
services in the area of HIV/AIDS surveillance.
The contract amount of $50,251 supports salary, fringe benefits, and supplies
for the HIV/AIDS surveillance specialist. The contract term is for one year
and begins September 1, 2006.
The HIV/AIDS surveillance specialist is dedicated to investigating cases of
HIV and AIDS infection in Lubbock. As of May 31, 2006, 916 individuals
have been diagnosed as HIV positive, 547 have AIDS, and 247 individuals
have died of AIDS -related complications in the Lubbock area. One of the
primary missions of public health is to monitor the health status of the
community by identifying and investigating health problems and health
hazards. On -going surveillance is essential in determining the nature and
extent of HIV and AIDS infection in Lubbock. Accurate numbers may
increase the availability of additional funding from outside sources in order to
provide services to those infected.
A Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to formally establish the roles and
responsibilities of the Lubbock City Health Department HIV/AIDS
Surveillance Program, the Public Health Region (PHR) 1 HIV/STD Program,
and the Bureau of HIV and STD Prevention surveillance program in regard to
HIV/AIDS reporting and surveillance activities for the State of Texas
residents within the 41 identified counties for Public Health Region 1 (PHR1)
was passed by Council on November 18, 2005.

Responsibilities of the Health Department include conducting active
surveillance and reporting activities for human immunodeficiency
virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) for all 41 counties in
Public Health Region 1, complying with reporting requirements and
maintaining a current list of key reporting sources in the counties in PHR 1,
maintaining a case file on all confirmed and suspected cases of HIV and AIDS
within counties of PHR 1, evaluating the system for reporting compliance,
initiating epidemiologic investigation on newly reported No Reported Risk
(NRR) cases and cases of public health importance, and adhering to all
confidentiality requirements.
These programs fulfill the core missions of Public Health including
surveillance, prevention, and health education. Without the funding from the
Department of State Health Services contract, local public health efforts
would be greatly impaired and the risk of illness in Lubbock citizens would
increase.
FISCAL IMPACT
Grant funding in the amount of $50,251 remains the same as in the previous
funding cycle. The impact to the General Fund is minimal as the majority of
salary and benefits are paid by the grant. The City's contribution is budgeted
in the General Fund operating budget.

The term of the contract is for a period of one year beginning September 1,
2006.
This contract change provides $138,264 for salaries and fringe benefits for a
registered nurse, a licensed vocational nurse, and a secretary to run the
program. The City provides an immunization clinic with the fewest barriers to
service. Activities include providing immunizations at the Health Department
clinic; outreach activities for infants, children, and high risk adults in their
homes, correctional facilities, day care centers, South Plains Mall, health fairs,
and senior citizen centers; and investigation and initiation of control measures
for vaccine -preventable diseases.
A partial list of activities associated with objectives of the grant includes:
• Developing a comprehensive plan to assure that immunization services and
vaccines are available to medically underserved and/or under -immunized
children and adults living in areas where coverage is low (pockets of need);
• Building and participating in a variety of partnerships with community -
based organizations and human service agencies to promote best practices and
to increase vaccination coverage levels for children 0 through 35 months;
• Conduct educational, promotional, and outreach activities for the general
public to enhance immunization awareness;
• Complete 100% of child-care facility and Head Start assessments assigned
by DSHS; and,
• Complete 100% of public and private school assessments and retrospective
and validation surveys assigned by DSHS.
These programs fulfill the core missions of Public Health including disease
prevention, laboratory support, and health education. Without funding from
the DSHS contract, local public health efforts would be greatly impaired and
the risk of illness in Lubbock citizens would increase.

Contamination of victims and responders by blood -borne pathogens can occur
during a mass casualty event. In terrorism and weapons of mass destruction
events, victim and responder contamination is highly probable. Contaminants
can involve chemical and/or biological agents. Decontamination is
accomplished in two phases including gross decontamination and technical
decontamination. Gross decontamination is accomplished by flooding the
exposed area with soap and water to remove the largest amount of the
contaminant. Technical decontamination is more agent -specific and is a more
definitive cleaning that requires the removal of clothing. Victim modesty and
operational efficiency require a large enclosed shelter to accomplish technical
decontamination.
This item involves the purchase of a decontamination trailer that can be easily
moved and located near the warm zone of contamination. This equipment can
be set up quickly to provide technical decontamination to the walking
wounded and litter patients by the Lubbock Fire Department, the City of
Lubbock, and other regional first responders.
This equipment is available for purchase through the Texas Multiple Awards
Schedule (TXMAS) contract #TXMAS-5-84090. The TXMAS program
adapts existing competitively awarded government contracts to the
239

using a competitive process, or adaptable to the laws of the State of Texas

PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED IN THE BODY OF THIS ORDINANCE;
DIRECTING THE CITY ENGINEER TO MARK THE OFFICIAL MAPS OF THE

This ordinance abandons and closes a portion of a 17.5-foot wide alley located
in Block 1 McLarty Circle View Addition, which is east of Avenue J between
65th Street and 66th Street. This closure allows for new construction of a
motel. Since the requestor of this closure is not the original dedicator of this
alley area being closed, there will be a charge for it. The total area of the alley
being closed is 5,165.50 square feet and will remain as an underground utility
easement. The requestor is dedicating 4,868.75 square fee of new alley in the
re -plat. The Right -of -Way Department has calculated a value of two dollars
per square foot from adjacent property land values for the alley area being
closed for a value of $10,331 x 50% easement valuation for a total amount
due the City of $5,165.50. The requestor is dedicating two separate alley areas
in the re -plat for a total of 4,868.75 square feet which will be valued as a
credit of $9,737.50 (4,868.75 square feet x $2 per square foot = $9,737.50).
Therefore, there will not be a charge to the requestor for this alley closure. All
utility companies are in agreement with this alley closure.

6.1. Taxicab Fare Increase Minuted Action - City Secretary: Minuted action
to approve a request by Sexton Enterprises (Yellow Cab) to increase rates
charged for taxicab services.
In 2004, Steve Sexton of Sexton Enterprises (Yellow Cab) requested and was
granted a 50 cent surcharge on taxi cab fare because of rising fuel prices. In
2005, he requested and was granted an additional 50 cent surcharge because
of continuing increase in costs. When each request was granted, it was agreed
the surcharge would be reduced or eliminated if fuel costs dropped.
Mr. Sexton is now requesting that the surcharge be incorporated into the main
taxicab rate and that the surcharge be eliminated.
The current fare schedule is as follows:
$1.85 for the first 1/10 mile
0.15 for each additional 1/10 mile
0.25 per minute for waiting time
1.00 fuel surcharge added to each fare
0.50 for each additional passenger
2.00 for each additional passenger to/from airport
6.00 minimum to/from airport
Mr. Sexton's proposed fare schedule is as follows:
$2.85 Flag drop
0.20 for each additional 1/8 mile
0.35 per minute traffic delay and waiting time
0.50 for each additional passenger in town
2.00 for each additional passenger traveling together to/from airport
If the City Council determines that there is a question as to the reasonableness
of the requested rate increase, and does not accept it, Council will set a public
hearing on the matter. At the public hearing, the permit holder (Mr. Sexton)
would have to show cause why such rates are not unreasonable. If, at the
conclusion of the public hearing, Council determines that the rates are not
justified, Council shall, by resolution, establish reasonable rates for Yellow
Cab.
Sexton Enterprises is requesting a rate increase because of the cost of fuel and
other rising costs.

the City of Lubbock; and
WHEREAS, annexation of said area will promote orderly growth of the City of

At the request of a property owner, an area adjacent to the present boundaries
of the City of Lubbock is proposed for annexation. This area is approximately
210 acres and is located east of Indiana and north of FM 1585. The land area
owned by the applicant is approximately 50 acres. The balance of the 210 acre
tract is proposed by staff to accomplish the objectives for annexation outlined
in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
The proposed area contains fewer than 100 separate tracts of land on which
one or more residential dwellings are located, so the City is exempted from
providing an annexation plan pursuant to Sec. 43.052(h)(1) of the Local
Government Code.
The 210 acre area is immediately adjacent to the Lubbock City Limits on its
west boundary. The proposed annexation takes in a continuous area of
property of sufficient dimensions and configuration to allow for well -planned
growth and will enable the City to guide development within the area.
FISCAL IMPACT
In the future, the City will receive increased property taxes from this property
and from any development on the property. At the current time, "soft services"
will be provided to the annexed area. The state law governing annexation
requires like services to be provided to annexed areas, and it is the staff
opinion that "hard services" are not required for this sparsely developed area
at this time.
