redemption date, (1) shall have been acquired by the City at a price not exceeding the principal
amount of such Term Bonds plus accrued interest to the date of purchase thereof, and delivered

optional redemption provisions set forth in paragraph(a) of this Section and not theretofore
credited against a mandatory redemption requirement.
(c) Selection of Bonds for Redemption. If less than all Outstanding Bonds of the

shall treat such Bonds as representing the number of Bonds Outstanding which is obtained by
dividing the principal amount of such Bonds by $5,000 and shall select the Bonds, or principal
amount thereof, to be redeemed within such Stated Maturity by lot.

Paying Agent/Registrar shall register and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, one or more new Bonds of authorized denominations and having the same Stated

Bonds canceled by reason of an exchange or transfer pursuant to the provisions hereof

registered and delivered in lieu thereof pursuant to the provisions of Section 11 hereof and such
new replacement Bond shall be deemed to evidence the same obligation as the mutilated, lost,
destroyed, or stolen Bond.

an assignee of a Holder any Bond called for redemption, in whole or in part, within 45 days of
the date fixed for the redemption of such Bond; provided, however, such limitation on
transferability shall not be applicable to an exchange by the Holder of the unredeemed balance
of a Bond called for redemption in part.
SECTION 6: Book-Entry Only Transfers and Transactions. Notwithstanding the
provisions contained in Sections 3, 4 and 5 hereof relating to the payment, and

Agreement").

deposited with DTC who shall hold said Bonds for its participants (the "DTC Participants").
While the Bonds are held by OTC under the Depository Agreement, the Holder of the Bonds on
the Security Register for all purposes, including payment and notices, shall be Cede & Co., as
nominee of DTC, notwithstanding the ownership of each actual purchaser or owner of each
Bond (the "Beneficial Owners") being recorded in the records of DTC and DTC Participants.

Bonds or otherwise ceases to provide book-entry clearance and settlement of securities
transactions in general or the City determines that OTC is incapable of properly discharging its
duties as securities depository for the Bonds, the City covenants and agrees with the Holders of
the Bonds to cause Bonds to be printed in definitive form and provide for the Bonds to be issued

the City on the Bond Date shall be deemed to be duly executed on behalf of the City,
notwithstanding that such individuals or either of them shall cease to hold such offices at the
time of delivery of the Bonds to the initial purchaser(s) and with respect to Bonds delivered in
subsequent exchanges and transfers, all as authorized and provided in V.T.C.A., Government
Code, Chapter 1201.
No Bond shall be entitled to any right or benefit under this Ordinance, or be valid or
obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Bond either a certificate of registration
substantially in the form provided in Section 9C, manually executed by the Comptroller of Public
Accounts of the State of Texas, or his duly authorized agent, or a certificate of registration
substantially in the form provided in Section 90, manually executed by an authorized officer,
45337214.1 -6-

signed upon any Bond shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Bond has
been duly certified, registered and delivered.
SECTION 8: Initial Bond(s). The Bonds . herein authorized shall be initially issued
either (i) as a single fully registered bond in the total principal amount of $11,855,000 with

exchange therefor definitive Bonds of authorized denominations, Stated Maturities, principal
amounts and bearing applicable interest rates for transfer and delivery to the Holders named at
the addresses identified therefor; all pursuant to and in accordance with such written
instructions from the initial purchaser(s), or the designee thereof, and such other information
and documentation as the Paying Agent/Registrar may reasonably require.

relevant to either party.

Re: $11,855,000 City of Lubbock, Texas General Obligation Bonds, Series 2003
Ladies and Gentlemen:
. We have acted as counsel for you as the underwriters of the Bonds described above (the "Bonds"),
issued under and pursuant to an ordinance (the "Ordinanceu) of the City of Lubbock, Texas (the "Issuer"),
authorizing the issuance of the Bonds, which Bonds you are purchasing pursuant to a Purchase Contract,
dated July 24, 2003. All capitalized undefined terms used herein shall have the meaning set forth in the
Purchase Contract.
In connection with this opinion letter, we have considered such matters oflaw and of fact, and have
relied upon such Bonds and other information furnished to us, as we have deen1ed appropriate as a basis
for our opinion set forth below. We are not expressing any opinion or views herein on the authorization, .
issuance, delivery, validity of the Bonds and we have assumed, but not independently verified, that the
signatures on all documents and Bonds that we have examined are genuine.
Based on and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that under existing laws, the Bonds
are not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the
Ordinance is not required to be qualified under the Tmst Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.
Because the primary purpose ofourprofessional engagement as your counsel was not to establish
factual matters, and because of the wholly or partially nonlegal character of many of the determinations
involved in the preparation of the Official Statement dated July 24, 2003 (the "Official Statement") and
because the information in the Official Statement under the headings "BOOK-ENTRY ONLY SYSTEM,"
''TAX MATTERS," "CONTINUING DISCLOSURE -Compliance with Prior Undertakings" and
Appendices A, B, and C thereto were prepared by others who have been engaged to review or provide
C-l
such information, we are not passing on and do not assume any responsibility for, except as set forth in the
last sentence of this paragraph, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the.
Official Statement (including any appendices, schedules and exhibits thereto) and we make no
representation that we have independently verified the accuracy, completeness or fairness of such
statements. In the course of our review of the Official Statement, we had discussions with representatives
of the City regarding the contents of the Official Statement. In the course of our participation in the
preparation of the Official Statement as your counsel, we had discussions with representatives of the Issuer,
including its City Attorney, Bond Counsel and Financial Advisor, regarding the contents of the Official
Statement. In the course of such activities, no facts came to our attention that would lead us to believe that
the Official Statement ( except for the financial statements and other financial and statistical data contained
therein, the information set forth under the headings "BOOK-ENTRY ONLY SYSTEM," "TAX
MATTERS," "CONTINUING DISCLOSURE.;_ Compliance with Prior Undertakings" and Appendices
A, B and C thereto, as to which we express no opinion), as of its date contained any untrue statement of
a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
This opinion letter may be relied upon by only you and only in connection with the transaction to
which reference is made above and may not be used or relied upon by any other person for any purposes
whatsoever without our prior written consent.
Respectfully,

DESCRIPTION OF THE CITY ... The City is a political subdivision and municipal corporation of the State, duly organized and

adopted its Home Rule Charter in 1917. The City operates under a Council/Manager form of government with a City Council
comprised of the Mayor and six Councilmembers. The Mayor is elected at-large for a two-year term ending in an even-
numbered year. Each of the six members of the City Council is elected from a single-member district for a four-year term of
office. The tenns of three members of the City Council expire in each even-numbered year. The City Manager is the chief
administrative officer for the City. Some of the services that the City provides are: public safety (police and fire protection),
highways and streets, electric, water and sanitary sewer utilities, airport, sanitation and solid waste disposal, health and social
services, culture-recreation, public transportation, public improvements, planning and zoning, and general administrative
services. The 2000 Census population for the City was 199,564; the estimated 2003 population is 204,737. The City covers
approximately 115 square miles.
THE BONDS
DESCRIPTION OF THE BONDS ... The Bonds are dated July 15, 2003, and mature, subject to prior redemption, on February 15 in
each of the years and in the amounts shown on page 2 hereof. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months, and will be payable on February 15 and August 15, commencing February 15, 2004. The definitive Bonds will
be issued only in fully registered form in any integral multiple of $5,000 for any one maturity and will be initially registered and
delivered only to Cede & Co., the nominee of The Depository Trust Company ("DTCff) pursuant to the Book-Entry-Only System
described herein. No physical delivery of the Bonds will be made to the owners thereof. Principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on the Bonds will be payable by the Paying Agent/Registrar to Cede & Co., which will make distribution of the amounts
so paid to the participating members of DTC for subsequent payment to the beneficial owners of the Bonds. See "Book-Entry-
Only System" herein.
Interest on the Bonds shall be paid to the registered owners appearing on the registration books of the Paying Agent/Registrar at
the close of business on the Record Date ( defined below), and such interest shall be paid (i) by check sent United States Mail,

the Bonds shall be a Saturday, Sunday, a legal holiday or a day when banking institutions in the city where the designated
payment/transfer office of the Paying Agent/ Registrar is located are authorized to close, then the date for such payment shall be
the next succeeding day· which is not such a day, and payment on such date shall have the same force and effect as if made on the
date payment was due.
AUTHORITY FOR ISSUANCE •.. The Bonds are being issued pursuant to the Constitution and general laws of the State of Texas,
particularly V.T.C.A., Texas Government Code, Chapter 1331, as amended and the Bond Ordinance. The Bonds are the third

voted authorizations, authorized purposes, amounts heretofore issued and unissued balances from such voted authorizations.
SECURITY AND SOURCE OF PAYMENT .•. The Bonds, together with the City's outstanding tax supported obligations, are payable
from the proceeds of an annual ad valorem tax levied, within the limitations prescribed by law, upon all taxable property in the
City. See "The Bonds-Tax Rate Limitation".
TAX RATE LIMITATION ... All taxable property within the City is subject to the assessment, levy and collection by the City of
an annual ad valorem tax sufficient to provide for the payment of principal of and interest on all ad valorem tax debt within the

ad valorem tax rate of $2.50 per $100 Taxable Assessed Valuation for all City purposes. The Home Rule Charter of the City
adopts the constitutionally authorized maximum tax rate of $2.50 per $100 Taxable Assessed Valuation.
OPTIONAL REDEMPTION ... The City reserves the right, at its option, to redeem Bonds having stated maturities on and after

any date thereafter,.at the par value thereof plus accrued interest to the date of redemption. If less than all of the Bonds are to be
redeemed, the City may select the maturities of Bonds to be redeemed. If less than all the Bonds of any maturity are to be
redeemed, the Paying Agent/Registrar (or DTC while the Bonds are in Book-Entry-Only form) shall detennine by lot the Bonds,
or portions thereof, within such maturity to be redeemed. If a Bond ( or any portion of the principal sum thereof) shall have been
called for redemption and notice of such redemption shall have been given, such Bond { or the principal amount thereof to be
redeemed) shall become due and payable on such redemption date and interest thereon shall cease to accrue from and after the
redemption date, provided funds for the payment of the redemption price and accrued interest thereon are held by the Paying
Agent/Registrar on the redemption date.
MANDATORY SINKING FuND REDEMPTION ... The Bonds maturing February 15, 2017 and February 15, 2019 (the "Term
Bonds") shall be subject to mandatory redemption prior to maturity at the price of par plus accrued interest to the mandatory

provisions may be reduced, at the option of the City, by the principal amount of Tenn Bonds of the same maturity which (i) shall
have been acquired by the City at a price not exceeding the principal amount of such Term Bonds plus accrued interest to the
date of purchase and delivered to the Paying Agent/Registrar for cancellation or (ii) shall have been redeemed pursuant to the
optional redemption provisions and not theretofore credited against a mandatory redemption requirement.
NOTICE OF REDEMPTION ... Not less than 30 days prior to a redemption date for the Bonds, the City shall cause a notice of
redemption to be sent by United States mail, first class, postage prepaid, to the registered owners of the Bonds to be redeemed, in
whole or in part, at the address of the registered owner appearing on the registration books of the Paying Agent/Registrar at the
close of business on the business day next preceding the date of mailing such notice. ANY NOTICE SO MAILED SHALL BE

BOND OR PORTION IBEREOF HAS NOT BEEN SURRENDERED FOR PAYMENT, INTEREST ON SUCH BOND OR
PORTION THEREOF SHALL CEASE TO ACCRUE.
AMENDMENTS ... The City may amend the Ordinance without the consent of or notice to any registered owners in any manner
not detrimental to the interests of the registered owners, including the curing of any ambiguity, inconsistency, or formal defect or
omission therein. In addition, the City may, with the written consent of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the Bonds, then outstanding, amend, add to, or rescind any of the provisions of the Ordinance, except that, without the
consent of the registered owners of all of the Bonds then outstanding no such amendment, addition or rescission may ( 1) change
the date specified as the date on which the principal on any installment of interest is due payable, reduce the principal amount or
the rate of interest, change the authorized coin or currency of payment for any Bond or interest thereon, or in any other way
modify the terms of the payment of the principal of or interest on, (2) give any preference to any Bond over any other Bond or
(3) reduce the aggregate principal amount required to be held by owners for consent to any amendment, addition or waiver.
DEFEASA..',CE . . . The Ordinance provides for the defeasance of the Bonds when the payment of the principal of and premium, if

sufficient to make such payment or (2) Government Securities, certified by an independent public accounting firm of national
reputation to mature as to principal and interest in such amounts and at such times to insure the availability, without
reinvestment, of sufficient money to make such payment, or (3) a combination of money and such certified Government
Securities. The Ordinance provides that "Government Securities" means (a) direct, noncallable obligations of the United States
of America, including obligations that are unconditionally guaranteed by the United States of America, (b) noncallable
obligations of an agency or instrumentality of the United States of America, including obligations that are unconditionally
guaranteed or insured by the agency or instrumentality and that are rated as to investment quality by a nationally recognized
investment rating firm not less than AAA or its equivalent, and (c) noncallable obligations of a state or an agency or a county,
8
,-
municipality, or other political subdivision of a state that have been refunded and that are rated as to investment quality by a
nationally recognized investment rating finn not less than AAA or its equivalent.
Upon making such deposit in the manner described, such Bonds shall no longer be deemed outstanding obligations payable from
ad valorem taxes levied by the City, but will be payable only from the funds and Government Securities deposited in escrow and
will not be considered debt of the City for purposes of taxation or applying any limitation on the City's ability to issue debt or
for any other purpose.
BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY SYSTEM ... This section describes how ownership of the Bonds are to be transferred and how the principal
of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds are to be paid to and credited by The Depository Trust Company ("DTC''j, New
York, New York, while the Bonds are registered in its nominee name. The information in this section concerning DTC and the
Book-Entry-Only System has been provided by DTC for use in disclosure documents such as this Official Statement. The City
believes the source of such information to be reliable, but takes no responsibility for the accuracy or completenes,s thereof
The City cannot and does not give any assurance that (1) DTC will distribute payments of debt service on the Bonds, or
redemption or other notices, to DTC Participants, (2) DTC Participants or others will distribute debt service payments paid to
DTC or its nominee (as the registered owner of the Bonds), or redemption or other notices, to the Beneficial Owners, or that
they will do so on a timely basis, or (3) DTC will serve and act in the manner described in this Official Statement. The current
rules applicable to DTC are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the current procedures of DTC to be
followed in dealing with DTC Participants are on file with DTC.
DTC will act as securities depository for the Bonds. The Bonds witl be issued as fully-registered securities registered in the name
of Cede & Co. (DTC's partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC.
One fully-registered Bond certificate will be issued for the Bonds, in the aggregate principal amount of each maturity, and will
be deposited with DTC.
DTC, the world's largest depository, is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a
"banking organization" within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing
corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the
provisions of Section 17 A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 2 million
issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments from over 85
countries that DTC's participants ("Direct Participants") deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among
Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book-entry
transfers and pledges between Direct Participants' accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities
certificates. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing
corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing
Corporation ("DTCC"). DTCC, in tum, is owned by a number of Direct Participants of DTC and Members of the National
Securities Clearing Corporation, Government Securities Clearing Corporation, MBS Clearing Corporation, and Emerging
Markets Clearing Corporation, (NSCC, GSCC, MBSCC, and EMCC, also subsidiaries of DTCC), as well as by the New York
Stock Exchange, Inc., the American Stock Exchange LLC, and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Access to the
DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies,
and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or
indirectly ("Indirect Participants"). DTC has Standard & Poor's highest rating: AAA. The DTC Rules applicable to its
Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. More information about DTC can be found at
www.dtcc.com.
Purchases of Bonds under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the
Bonds on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Bond ("Beneficial Owner") is in tum to be
recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants' records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of
their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing detaHs of the transaction, as ·
well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered
into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the Bonds are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct
and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their
ownership interests in Bonds, except in the event that use of the book--entry system for the Bonds is discontinued.
To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Bonds deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC's
partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit
of Bonds with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any change in
beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Bonds; DTC's records reflect only the
identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Bonds are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners.
The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.
Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants,
and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject
to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Beneficial Owners of Bonds may wish to take
certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the Bonds, such as redemptions,
tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the Bond documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of Bonds may wish to
9
ascertain that the nominee holding the Bonds for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners. 1n
the alternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the registrar and request that copies of
notices be provided directly to them.
Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. Ifless than all of the Bonds within a maturity are being redeemed, DTC's practice is to
determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such maturity to be redeemed.
Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to Bonds unless authorized by a
Direct Participant in accordance with DTC's Procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the City
as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co. 's consenting or voting rights to those Direct
Participants to whose accounts Bonds are credited on the record date ( identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy).
Redemption proceeds, principal, and interest payments on the Bonds will be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may
be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC's practice is to credit Direct Participants' accounts upon DTC's
receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from· the City or the Paying Agent/Registrar, on payable date in
accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC's records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be
governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers iri
bearer form or registered in "street name," and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC nor its nominee, the
Paying Agent/Registrar, or the City, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time,
Payment of redemption proceeds, principal, and dividend payments to Cede & Co. ( or such other nominee as may be requested
by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of the City or the Paying Agent/Registrar, disbursement of such
payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners
will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants. ·
DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving reasonable notice tq
the City or the Paying Agent/Registrar. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depository is not obtained, Bond
certificates are required to be printed and delivered.
Use of Certain Terms in Other Sections of this Official Statement 1n reading this Official Statement it should be understood
that while the Bonds are in the Book-Entry-Only System, references in other sections of this Official Statement to registered
owners should be read to include the person for which the Participant acquires an interest in the Bonds, but (i) all rights of
ownership must be exercised through DTC and the Book-Entry-Only System, and (ii) except as described above, notices that are
to be given to registered owners under the Ordinance will be given only to DTC.
Information concerning DTC and the Book-Entry-Only System has been obtained from DTC and is not guaranteed as to
accuracy or completeness by, and is not to be construed as a representation by the City or the Underwriters.
Effect of Termination of Book-Entry-Only System In the event that the Book-Entry-Only System is discontinued by DTC or
the use of the Book-Entry-Only System is discontinued by the City, printed Bonds will be issued to the holders and the Bonds
will be subject to transfer, exchange and registration provisions as set forth in the Ordinance and summarized under "The Bonds
-Transfer, Exchange and Registration" below.
PAYING AGENT/REGISTRAR ... The initial Paying Agent/Registrar is JPMorgan Chase Bank, Dallas, Texas. In the Ordinance,
the City retains the right to replace the Paying Agent/Registrar. The City covenants to maintain and provide a Paying
Agent/Registrar at all times until the Bonds are duly paid and any successor Paying Agent/Registrar shall be a commercial bank,
trust company, financial institution or other entity duly qualified and legally authorized to serve as and perform the duties and
services of Paying Agent/Registrar for the Bonds. Upon any change in the Paying Agent/Registrar for the Bonds, the City
agrees to promptly cause a written notice thereof to be sent to each registered owner of the Bonds by United St.ates mail, first
class, postage prepaid, which notice shall also give the address of the new Paying Agent/Registrar.
TRANSFER, EXCHANGE AND REGISTRATION ... In the event the Book-Entry-Only System should be discontinued, printed Bond
certificates will be issued to the registered owners of the Bonds and thereafter the Bonds may be transferred and exchanged on
the registration books of the Paying Agent/Registrar only upon presentation and surrender such printed Bond certificates to the
Paying Agent/Registrar and such transfer or exchange shall be without expense or service charge to the registered owner, except
for any tax or other governmental charges required to be paid with respect to such registration, exchange and transfer. Bonds
may be assigned by the execution of an assignment form on the respective Bonds or by other instrument of transfer and
assignment acceptable to the Paying Agent/Registrar. New Bonds will be delivered by the Paying Agent/Registrar, in lieu of the
Bonds being transferred or exchanged, at the designated office of the Paying Agent/Registrar, or sent by United States mail, first
class, postage prepaid, to the new registered owner or his designee. To the extent possible, new Bonds issued in an exchange or
transfer of Bonds will be delivered to the registered owner or assignee of the registered owner in not more than three business
days after the receipt of the Bonds to be canceled, and the written instrument of transfer or request for exchange duly executed
by the registered owner or his duly authorized agent, in form satisfactory to the Paying Agent/Registrar. New Bonds registered
and delivered in an exchange or transfer shall be in any integral multiple of $5,000 for any one maturity and for a like aggregate
principal amount as the Bonds surrendered for exchange or transfer. See "Book-Entry-Only System" herein for a description of
the system to be utilized initially in regard to ownership and transferability of the Bonds. Neither the City nor the Paying
Agent/Registrar shall be required to transfer or exchange any Bond called for redemption, in whole or in part, within 45 days of
10
~
the date fixed for redemption; provided, however, such limitation of transfer shall not be applicable to an exchange by the
registered owner of the uncalled balance of a Bond.
RECORD DATE FOR INTEREST PAYMENT ... The record date ("Record Date") for the interest payable on the Bonds on any
interest payment date means the close of business on the last business day of the preceding month.
In the event of a non-payment of interest on a scheduled payment date, and for 30 days thereafter, a new record date for such
interest payment (a "Special Record Date") will be established by the Paying Agent/Registrar, if and when funds for the payment
of such interest have been received from the City. Notice of the Special Record Date and of the scheduled payment date of the
past due interest ("Special Payment Date", which shall be 15 days after the Special Record Date) shall be sent at least five
business days prior to the Special Record Date by United States mail, first class postage prepaid, to the address of each Holder of
a Bond appearing on the registration books of the Paying Agent/Registrar at the close of business on the last business day next
preceding the date of mailing of such notice.
BONDHOLDERS' REMEDIES . . . The Ordinance does not establish specific events of default with respect to the Bonds. Under
State law there is no right to the acceleration of maturity of the Bonds upon the failure of the City to observe any covenant under
the Ordinance. Although a registered owner of Bonds could presumably obtain a judgment against the City if a default occurred
in the payment of principal of or interest on any such Bonds, such judgment could not be satisfied by execution against any
property of the City. Such registered owner's only practical remedy, if a default occurs, is a mandamus or mandatory injunction
proceeding to compel the City to levy, assess and collect an annual ad valorem tax sufficient to pay principal of and interest on
the Bonds as it becomes due. The enforcement of any such remedy may be difficult and time consuming and a registered owner
could be required to enforce such remedy on a periodic basis. The Ordinance does not provide for the appointment of a trustee
to represent the interests of the bondholders upon any failure of the City to perform in accordance with the terms of the
Ordinance, or upon any other condition. Furthermore, the City is eligible to seek relief from its creditors under Chapter 9 of the
U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Although Chapter 9 provides for the recognition of a security interest represented by a specifically
pledged source of revenues, the pledge of taxes in support of a general obligation of a bankrupt entity is not specifically
recognized as a security interest under Chapter 9. Chapter 9 also includes an automatic stay provision that would prohibit,
without Bankruptcy Court approval, the prosecution of any other legal action by creditors or bondholders of an entity which has
sought protection under Chapter 9. Therefore, should the City avail itself of Chapter 9 protection from creditors, the ability to
enforce would be subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court (which could require that the action be heard in Bankruptcy
Court instead of other federal or state court); and the Bankruptcy Code provides for broad discretionary powers of a Bankruptcy
Court in administering any proceeding brought before it. The opinion of Bond Counsel will note that all opinions relative to the
enforceability of the Ordinance and the Bonds are qualified with _respect to the customary rights of debtors relative to their
creditors.
INSURER'S RIGHTS Ull<"DER THE ORDINANCE ... Notwithstanding the discussion of bondholder rights under the captions "The
Bonds -Bondholders' Remedies" and "The Bonds -Amendments," so long as the insurance policy of MBIA Insurance
Corporation that secures the Bonds is in force, and the Insurer is not in default under the insurance policy, the Insurer shall be
deemed to be the sole holder of the Bonds for the purpose of exercising any voting right or privilege or giving any consent or
direction or taking any other action that the holders of the Bonds are entided to talce pursuant to the Ordinance. In addition, no
modification or amendment to the Ordinance may become effective except upon the City obtaining the prior written consent of
MBIA Insurance Corporation. ·

information has been furnished by MBIA for use in this Official Statement. Such information has not been independently

become due but shall not be so paid ( except that in the event of any acceleration of the due date of such principal by reason of
mandatory or optional redemption or acceleration resulting from default or otherwise, other than any advancement of maturity
pursuant to a mandatory sinking fund payment, the payments guaranteed by MBIA's policy shall be made in such amounts and at
such times as such payments of principal would have been due had there not been any such acceleration); and (ii) the

instruments being in a form satisfactory to U.S. Bank Trust National Association, U.S. Bank Trust National Association shall
disburse to such owners or the Paying Agent payment of the insured amounts due on such Bonds, less any amount held by the
Paying Agent for the payment of such insured amounts and legally available therefor.

DISCUSSION OF RECENT FINANCIAL AND MANAGEMENT EVENTS
Mid-Year Budget Amendments; Financial Challenges
Going into the 2002-03 fiscal year, the City Council adopted General Fund and Enterprise Fund budgets that included
approximately $94 million and $171 million in expenditures, respectively. While the budget that was adopted in August 2002
was balanced, it was apparent that the City's electric enterprise fund, which operates as Lubbock Light & Power ("LP&L"),
would need to reduce the amount of transfers to the General Fund as compared to transfers included in prior years I budgets. This
situation arose as a result of the cumulative effect of operating losses incurred by LP&L that date to the 1996-97 fiscal year. As
measured by generally accepted accounting practices ("GAAP"), which take into account budgeted transfers to the City's General
Fund, and non-cash expense items such as depreciation and amortization, at the close of the 2001-02 fiscal year LP&L had a
negative cash balance of approximately $12.8 million on a GAAP basis, which has been funded by interfund loans made from
the water fund, solid waste fund and General Funds.
A number of factors have contributed to the LP&L losses (see "Discussion of Recent Financial and Management Events -Recent
Events Relating to the City's Electric System"), but the most significant fact is that LP&L, unlike most other municipal electric
utilities, competes directly with a large investor owned energy company, Xcel Energy, Inc. ("Xcel Energy"), and the competitive
environment has made it difficult for LP&L to fully recover its fuel costs, particularly during periods of volatile and historically
high natural gas prices, which have prevailed in recent years. All LP&L electric generating units, which have provided
approximately 35% of its energy requirements in recent years (the remaining energy is provided under power purchase
agreements), operate with natural gas as the primary generation fuel. Additional information regarding LP&L will be available
from the City's Financial Advisor, First Southwest Company, Lubbock, Texas, during the offering of the 2003 LP&L Debt (as
defined below), which is scheduled to occur in mid-to late-August, 2003.
At present and in the past, LP&L has been obligated by its annual budget to make transfers to the General Fund to cover costs
incurred by the City with respect to the operation of LP&L as well as certain other general transfers. Such transfers have
included a payment in lieu of ad valorern taxes, an allocation for indirect costs such as legal and financial services, and a cost of
business transfer ( which approximates a payment in lieu of franchise taxes, and is based on 3 % of the gross operating revenues
of LP&L) (collectively, the "Cost Recovery Payments"). In addition to the Cost Recovery Payments, LP&L has been obligated
to annually transfer to the General Fund amounts to support economic development incentives in the City, a payment designated
for infrastructure use, a "gas tax" transfer, and a reimbursement of the street lighting expense incurred by the City (collectively,
the "Other Transfer Amounts").
During the preparation of the 2002-03 City budgets, it was evident that the amount of money transferred from LP&L to the
General Fund would need to be reduced given the financial condition of LP&L. Consequently, the 2002-03 budget trimmed
approximately $645,000 that in previous years had been budgeted for transfer to the General Fund from the electric enterprise
fund, In February 2003, during a period of extraordinarily high natural gas prices, City finance staff projected that, in the
absence of corrective measures, the electric enterprise fund would have an operating loss of approximately $24 million for the
current fiscal year. In response, the City amended the LP&L and General Fund budgets to eliminate approximately $7.7 million
in transfers from LP&L to the General Fund for the current fiscal year (which represents approximately 8.4% of the original
General Fund budget for the year). City management then undertook a comprehensive review of the General Fund and other
enterprise funds for the purpose of identifying budget cuts in the General Fund and in other areas of City government that could
offset the reduced LP&L transfers.
The City annually undertakes a mid-year budget assessment during April and May. During the budget assessment in the Spring
of 2003, the Council adopted budget amendments for the General Fund that totaled 9.7 million (referred to hereafter as the "2003
Budget Adjustments"), which represents approximately l 0.5% of the original General Fund budget for the year. In addition to
the $7.7 million budget adjustment made to address the LP&L transfer reduction, the General Fund also absorbed an
approximately $2 million adjustment relating to a prior year interfund payable from the golf course enterprise fund. The cuts
that were made included both "one-time" reductions, as well as reductions that will carry forward into future budgets. Among
the measures taken to address the General Fund shortfall that resulted from the current year elimination of the LP&L transfers
were the following: (i) the elimination of approximately $2.5 million of capital expenditure items (which effect a one-time cost
savings for the City); (ii) the reduction of operating costs such as office supplies and staff training and travel expense; (iii) a
reorganization of the structure of City government was implemented that consolidated a number of positions; (iv) a general
hiring freeze was implemented throughout all City departments in which 24 unfilled positions at LP&L and 8 positions funded
from the General Fund (for which funds had been appropriated) were frozen, and 16 jobs were eliminated through work force
reductions; (v) a l % increase of the transfers in lieu of franchise payments was implemented for the water and solid waste funds,
which increased that transfer for those funds from 3% to 4% of gross revenues; (vi) certain available cash deposits were
consolidated into the General Fund, which made such amounts available for current year budget requirements, including
amounts held in certain sales tax accounts and internal service funds, as well as amounts in excess of working capital targets that
in past years have been used to fund capital improvements.
The 2003 Budget Adjustments were made for the purpose of placing the General Fund in position to end the current fiscal year
with a balanced operating result, and the City is of the view that the 2003 Budget Amendments substantially meets that
objective. Current finance staff estimates include a projected reduction of the General Fund balance at the close of the 2002-03
fiscal year of approximately $500,000, which would have the unrestricted General Fund balance slightly below the City's
financial policy of maintaining a balance equivalent to 60 days of operating expenses. Management of the City and LP&L are
14
-
implementing and reviewing certain options that are designed to improve the financial condition of LP&L, although no
assurances can be given as to any future financial result. For the CU1Tent fiscal year, as well as for foreseeable future years, the
ability of the General Fund to maintain adequate fund balances and operating reserves will in large part be dependent on whether
austerity measures taken by the. City with respect to LP&L will pennit the electric utility to operate on at least a break even basis.
As a result of the LP&L financial condition, the City intends to offer approximately $22 mi11ion in combination tax and surplus
electric system debt prior to the end of the current fiscal year (the "2003 LP&L Debt") for the purposes of refinancing a portion
of the outstanding LP &L debt and to provide approximately $13 million for LP &L capital expenditures. In the past, the City has
issued stand-alone revenue bonds to provide capital for LP&L, although the City has issued combination tax and revenue
obligations, such as the Obligations, to finance improvements for other City enterprise funds.
In reducing the transfers from LP&L to the City, the City is permanently eliminating the . Other Transfer Amounts
(approximately $2.7 million per year), and, for the current fiscal year the Cost Recovery Payments, as well. Current budget
planning for the 2003-04 fiscal year (which is subject to change) reflects that for the coming year LP&L will transfer to the
General Fund only an amount equal to its indirect cost recovery amount, which is approximately $1.1 million ( an approximately
$6.6 million reduction from the original 2002-03 budget that will need to be absorbed by additional austerity measures in the
General Fund. It is possible that in the future LP&L transfers to the General Fund would be increased (though probably not to
the full amounts of prior years), provided that LP&L has stabilized its financial condition. The City is presently fonnulating its
2003-04 operating and capital budgets. Among the measures that are being reviewed are additional and substantial cuts in City
staff, employee benefits, including health care options, travel and other general administrative costs. City finance staff estimates
that approximately 7% of City employment positions (which totaled 1,980 in 2002-03) will be eliminated during 2003-04 by
permanently closing unfilled positions in the City, as well as through reductions in force, and virtually all reductions will be in
the General Fund and at LP&L. These staff reductions are expected to result in an approximately $2.5 million reduction in
General Fund staffing and benefit funding requirements. In addition, the City is reviewing potential increases in franchise tax
payments from commercial entities in the City that use City streets and rights of way for access, although the City is generally
required to negotiate as opposed to impose increases in franchise payments. Based upon amounts paid to other municipalities,
however, the City is of the view that it will be able to increase overall franchise payment receipts in the 2003-04 fiscal year.
While the City has generally not experienced a downturn in its tax base or sales tax revenue as has occurred in other parts of the
State during the post September 11, 2001 period (see "Tax Infonnation -Table 2 • Taxable Assessed Valuations by Category"
and "Financial Information -Table 14 Municipal Sales Tax History"), the City Council has instructed City finance staff to
implement a budget that holds ad valorem tax revenues flat in the coming year, except that portion of the tax rate that is
proportionate to tax base growth attributable to new construction in the City. In effect, this policy is designed to end the pass
through growth of City tax revenue that is associated with reappraisals of property in the City, which has represented a
substantial portion of tax base growth in previous years. Based upon this budget approach, and due to an approximately 7%
increase in the City's 2003 tax roll ( of which approximately 62% is attributable to reappraisal of existing property), City finance
staff is anticipating an approximately $0.023 decrease in the ad valorem tax rate of the City for the 2003-04 budget year. The
City intends to increase water and sewer rates in the 2003-04 fiscal year, as part of a multi-year plan to maintain the self-
sufficiency of the enterprise fund debt incurred for the Water System and Sewer System (the City's financial policies also
provide that the Drainage System and the Solid Waste System are to be operated on a self-supporting basis from fees, rates and
other charges for service).
The City Council has also indicated that it intends to call an election for November 4, 2003 for the purpose of submitting a
proposition to the voters of the City for a one-eighth cent ($.00125) sales and use tax ("sales tax") dedicated for economic
development in the City and a one-quarter cent ($.0025) sales tax to be used for the reduction of ad valorem taxes in the City.
While the City cannot predict whether the voters will approve the sales tax increases, if they do, the City would begin receiving
revenue from the new taxes during October 2004, and, in accordance with State law, the City would have to reduce its ad
valorem tax levy for the 2004-05 tax year by the estimated amount of revenue to be generated by the one-quarter cent sales tax
collected for the reduction of ad valorem taxes in the City. Current estimates of the impact of the one-quarter cent tax rate
indicate a potential reduction in 2004-05 ad valorem rates of approximately $0.083. The one-quarter cent tax would be
dedicated to support economic development incentives in the City, and the City is reviewing its options as to whether it will
continue or eliminate all or part of the $0.03 portion of its ad valorem tax that it has historically levied for economic
development (see "Table 4 -Tax Rate, Levy and Collection History"). The effect of these taxes, if they should be approved, is
anticipated to be approximately revenue neutral to the City, although the approval would result in an increased dependence by
the City on sales tax collections as a revenue source. Typically, sales tax revenue has been a more volatile income source than
ad valorem taxes, due to the immediate impact that fluctuations in economic conditions have on sales activities that generate
sales tax revenue.
Rece11t Events Relating to the City's Electric System
The City is a member of the West Texas Municipal Power Agency ("WTMP A"), a municipal power agency that was formed by
concurrent ordinances adopted by the governing bodies of the cities of Brownfield, Floydada, Lubbock and Tulia, Texas (the
"Member Cities") in 1983. The purpose of WTMP A is to engage in the generation, transmission, sale and exchange of electric
energy to the Member Cities. WTMPA is a separate political subdivision under the laws of the State. Under the terms of
various WTMP A power sale agreements that each Member City has entered into with the other Member Cities,· the City is
currently obligated to purchase approximately 87% of the energy available to WTMPA. In June 1998, WTMPA issued
$28,910,000 of its Revenue Bonds, Series 1998 (the "WTMPA Bonds") to finance the construction and acquisition of a 65 MW
electric co-generation project (the "WTMP A Project"). The WTMP A Project consists of a 43 MW combustion turbine generator
15
(the "Massengale Unit 8 turbine") and the re--powering of an existing 22 MW generation unit, each located at the City's J.R.
Massengale Plant. Through an operation management agreement with WTMPA. LP&L assumed the responsibility for operating
the WTMPA Project
The Massengale Unit 8 turbine was originally scheduled to go on line in the Spring of 1999, but during the course of the run test,
the turbine experienced a catastrophic failure. In May 200 l, the City and WTMP A filed a lawsuit against the manufacturer of
the Massengale Unit 8 turbine and the gas company that supplied fuel for the Unit, in connection with the failure of the turbine.
During September 2002, the City engaged in mediation with the turbine manufacturer and the gas company with respect to the
settlement of the litigation. During the course of the mediation, the director of LP &L and a City Council member who served on
the Board of WTMPA and as president of WTMP A made statements to the effect that WTMP A had retained a sum of
approximately $1.6 million, representing proceeds of the WTMPA Bonds, from the turbine manufacturer until the litigation
could be resolved. Subsequent investigations revealed that such amount had been retained, but the money had eventually been
applied, in February 2002, to pay debt service on the WTMPA Bonds.
As a result of the confusion over the existence of the retained amount, the City embarked upon a series of internal financial and
management audits of the relationship between LP&L and WTMPA, as well as an analysis of the internal controls of the City
with respect to LP&L. Such audits are available on the City's website at: www.ci.lubbock.tx.us under the heading "West Texas
Municipal Power Agency Audit." None of these reviews uncovered any malfeasance with respect to the administration of LP&L
or WTMP A funds. However, the reviews agree that the prevailing view that guided the administration of WTMP A affairs by the
management ofLP&L, was that WTMPA was indistinguishable from LP&L. This view stemmed from the facts that LP&L is
contractually committed on a joint and several basis to pay the WTMPA Bonds, it is the operator of the WTMP A Project and, as
a practical matter, LP&L was taking all the energy from the WTMP A Project. According to the audits, this management
perspective had resulted in a consistent failure to follow the terms of the various WTMP A organizational, operational and power
purchase agreements. In addition to poor contract administration by the management of LP&L, there were findings in the City
audits to the effect that LP&L was acting without proper oversight from the City Council and the City Manager's office.
In April 2003, the WTMPA Member Cities (including the City) engaged Ernst & Young LLP ("E & Y") to conduct an audit of
the records of WTMPA and LP&L. The final report of E & Y was delivered in May 2003, and included findings as to the
historic misallocation of costs among the Member Cities. The report noted that no evidence of misappropriation of assets or
intentional omissions of financial information was discovered, but that, talcing into account past misallocations, adding an
interest factor for such allocations, and recovering an unbilled 5% management overhead allocation that LP&L was entitled to
under the power agreements, would result in a total amount owing to the City of $5,590,746, of which the City owed itself, as a
member city ofWTMPA, approximately 90% of the total amount. The E & Y report also noted that according to the WTMPA
financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2002 (which were not prepared or audited by E & Y), WTMPA was not in
compliance for that year with the 1.15 times rate coverage of debt service requirements that are required by the resolution under
which the WTMP A Bonds were issued.
As a result of the City audits described above, the City is assessing whether WTMP A should continue to function as an
independent agency, whether WTMPA should be unwound (which would require the discharge of the WTMPA Bonds) or
whether some other legal arrangement can be negotiated whereby the existing legal structure will remain in place but additional
agreements implemented to better define the responsibility of the City and the other Member Cities for costs incurred by
WTMPA. Following the release of the City audits, City management and WTMPA officers have implemented a number of
procedural ammgements and written agreements to address the contract administration aspects that were noted in the City audits,
among other remedial steps. The City is of the view that the amount owing to the City from WTMP A does not materially affect
the financial condition of the City or WTMP A
Business and Management Transition ... Following the publication of these reports, several key City officers and LP&L
management personnel resigned. Among the officials and management of the City who resigned was a member of the City
Council with almost 11 years of service, the City Manager, who had served 27 years with the City, the last ten of which as City
Manager, the Assistant City Manager for Finance, who had almost 8 years of service to the City, the Assistant City Manager for
Public Works, who had over five years of service to the City, and the Chief Executive Officer of LP&L, who had served in that
capacity since 1998. The City has begun a search for a new City Manager. It is expected that a new City Manager will not be
selected until first quarter of the 2003-04 fiscal year. The interim City Manager has also implemented a new organizational
structure for City government and the City has initiated a search for a Chief Financial Officer, which is a new position under the
new government organizational structure. In addition, numerous staff changes have been made at LP&L, including the
appointment of new Chief Executive and Chief Operating Officers. As described under "Discussion of Recent Financial and
Management Events -Mid-Year Budget Amendments; Financial Challenges," in February 2003, City finance staff projected a
large operating loss for LP&L during the current fiscal year and all transfers from LP&L to the City's General Fund were
eliminated or deferred until such time as the financial condition of LP&L has stabilized. At present, the City is undergoing a
period of transition in both its management and its business strategies, which has resulted from the situation described under
"Discussion of Recent Financial and Management Events -Mid-Year Budget Amendments; Financial Challenges," as well as by
the changes key management of City and LP&L that have occurred in recent months.

TAX INFORMATION
AD V ALO REM TAX LAW ... The appraisal of property within the City is the responsibility of the Lubbock Central Appraisal District
(the "Appraisal District"). Excluding agricultural and open-space land, which may be taxed on the basis of productive capacity, the
Appraisal District is required under the Property Tax Code t.o appraise all property within the Appraisal District on the basis of 100%
of its market value and is prohibited from applying any assessment ratios. In detennining market value of property, different methods
of appraisal may be used, including the cost method of appraisal, the income method of appraisal and market data comparison method of
appraisal, and the method considered most appropriate by the chief appraiser is to be used. State law further limits the appraised value of
a residence homestead fur a tax year to an amount not t.o exceed the less of (l) the market value of the property, or (2) the sum of (a) 10%
of the appraised value of the property fur the last year in which the property was appraised for taxation times the number of years since the
property was last appraised, plus (b) the appraised value of the property for the last year in which the property was appraised plus ( c) the
market value of all new improvements to the property. The value placed upon property within the Appraisal District is subject to
review by an Appraisal Review Board, consisting of three members appointed by the Board of Directors of the Appraisal District.
The Appraisal District is required to review the value of property within the Appraisal District at least every three years. The City
may require annual review at its own expense, and is entitled to challenge the determination of appraised value of property within the
City by petition filed with the Appraisal Review Board.
Reference is made to the V.T.C.A., Property Tax Code, for identification of property subject to taxation; property exempt or which
may be exempted from taxation, if claimed; the appraisal of property for ad valorem taxation puiposes; and the procedures and
limitations applicable to the levy and collection of ad valorem taxes.
Article VIII of the State Constitution (" Article VIII") and State law provide for certain exemptions from property taxes, the valuation
of agricultural and open-space lands at productivity value, and the exemption of certain personal property from ad valorem taxation.
Under Section 1-b, Article VIIl, and State law, the governing body of a political subdivision, at its option, may grant ( l) An
exemption of not less than $3,000 of the market value of the residence homestead of persons 65 years of age or older and the
disabled from all ad valorem taxes thereafter levied by the political subdivision; (2) An exemption of up to 20% of the market value
of residence homesteads. The minimum exemption under this provision is $5,000.
In the case of residence homestead exemptions granted under Section 1-b, Article VIII, ad valorem taxes may continue to be
levied against the value of homesteads exempted where ad valorem taxes have previously been pledged for the payment of debt
if cessation of the levy would impair the obligation of the contract by which the debt was created.
State law and Section 2, Article VIII, mandate an additional property tax exemption for disabled veterans or the surviving spouse or
children of a deceased veteran who died while on active duty in the armed forces; the exemption applies to either real or personal
property with the amount of assessed valuation exempted ranging from $5,000 to a maximum of$12,000.
Article VIIl provides that eligible owners of both agricultural land (Section 1-d) and open-space land (Section 1-d-l ), including
open-space land devoted to fann or ranch purposes or open-space land devoted to timber production, may elect to have such property
appraised for property taxation on the basis of its productive capacity. The same land may not be qualified under both Section 1-d
and 1-d-l.
Nonbusiness personal property, such as automobiles or light trucks, are exempt from ad valorem taxation unless the governing body
of a political subdivision elects t.o tax this property. Boats owned as nonbusiness property are exempt from ad valorem taxation.
Article VIII, Section 1-j, provides for "freeport property" to be exempted from ad valorem taxation. Freeport property is defined as
goods detained in Texas for 175 days or less for the pUipose of assembly, storage, manufacturing, processing or fabrication.
Decisions to continue to tax may be reversed in the future; decisions to exempt freeport property are not subject t.o reversal.
The City may create one or more tax increment financing districts ("TID") within the City and freeze the taxable values of property
in the TID at the value at the time of its creation. Other overlapping taxing units levying taxes in the TID may agree to contnbute all
or part of future ad valorem taxes levied and collected against the value of property in the TID in excess of the "frozen values" to pay
or finance the costs of certain public improvements in the TID. Taxes levied by the City against the values of real property in the
TID in excess of the "frozen" value are not available for general city use but are restricted to paying or financing "project costs"
within the TID. See "Tax Information -Tax Increment Financing Zones".
State law also provides that the City may enter into tax abatement agreements to encourage economic development Under the
agreements, a property owner agrees to construct certain improvements on its property. The City in tum agrees not to levy a tax on
all or part of the increased value attributable to the improvements until the expiration of the agreement. The abatement agreement
could last for a period of up to l 0 years. See "Tax Information -Tax Abatement Policy".
EFFECTIVE TAX RATE AND ROLLBACK TAX RATE ... By each September 1 or as soon thereafter as practicable, the City
Council adopts a tax rate per $100 taxable value for the current year. The City Council will be required to adopt the annual tax
rate for the City before the later of September 30 or the 60th day after the date the certified appraisal roll is received by the City.
If the City Council does not adopt a tax rate by such required date the tax rate for that tax year is the lower of the effective tax
rate calculated for that tax year or the tax rate adopted by the City for the preceding tax year. The tax rate consists of two
components: ( 1) a rate for funding of maintenance and operation expenditures, and (2) a rate for debt service.
17
Under the Property Tax Code, the City must annually calculate and publicize its "effective tax rate" and "rollback tax rate".
Effective January 1, 2000, a tax rate cannot be adopted by the City Council that exceeds the lower of the rollback tax rate or 103
per cent of the effective tax rate until a public hearing is held on the proposed tax rate following a notice of such public hearing
(including the requirement that notice be posted on the City's website if the City owns, operates or controls an internet website
and public notice be given by television if the City has free access to a television channel} and the City Council has otherwise
complied with the legal requirements for the adoption of such tax rate. If the adopted tax rate exceeds the rollback tax rate the
qualified voters of the City by petition may require that an election be held to determine whether or not to reduce the tax rate
. adopted for the current year to the rollback tax rate.
"Effective tax rate" means the rate that will produce last year's total tax levy (adjusted) from this year's total taxable values
(adjusted). "Adjusted" means lost values are not included in the calculation of last year's taxes and new values are not included
in this year's taxable values.
"Rollback tax rate" means the rate that will produce last year's maintenance and operation tax levy (adjusted) from this year's
values (adjusted) multiplied by 1.08 plus a rate that will produce this year's debt service from this year's values (unadjusted)
divided by the anticipated tax collection rate.
The Property Tax Code provides that certain cities and counties in the State may submit a proposition to the voters to authorize
an additional one-half cent sales tax on retail sales of taxable items. If the additional tax is levied, the effective tax rate and the
rollback tax rate calculations are required to be offset by the revenue that will be generated by the sales tax in the current year.
Reference is made to the Property Tax Code for definitive requirements for the levy and collection of ad valorem taxes and the
calculation of the various defined tax rates.
PROPERTY AsSESSMENT AND TAX PAYMENT ... Property within the City is generally assessed as of January 1 of each year.
Business inventory may, at the option of the taxpayer, be assessed as of September 1. Oil and gas reserves are assessed on the
basis of a valuation process which uses an average of the daily price of oil and gas for the prior year. Taxes become due October
1 of the same year, and become delinquent on February 1 of the following year. Taxpayers 65 years old or older are permitted
by State law to pay taxes on homesteads in four installments with the first due on February 1 of each year and the final
installment due on August 1.
PENALTIES AND INTEREST . . . Charges for penalty and interest on the unpaid balance of delinquent taxes are made as follows:
Cumulative Cumulative
Month Penalty Interest Total
February 6% 1% 7%
March 7 2 9
April 8 3 11
May 9 4 13
June 10 5 15
July 12 6 18
After July, penalty remains at 12%, and interest increases at the rate of 1 % each month. In addition, a taxing unit may contact
with an attorney for the collection of delinquent taxes and the amount of compensation as set forth in such contract may not
provide for a fee that exceeds 20% of the amount of delinquent tax, penalty, and interest collected.. Under certain
circumstances, taxes which become delinquent on the homestead of a taxpayer 65 years old or older incur a penalty of 8% per
annum with no additional penalties or interest assessed. In general, property subject to the City's lien may be sold, in whole or in
parcels, pursuant to court order to collect the amounts due. Federal law does not allow for the collection of penalty and interest
against an estate in bankruptcy. Federal bankruptcy law provides that an automatic stay of action by creditors and other entities,
including governmental units, goes into effect with the filing of any petition in bankruptcy. The automatic stay prevents
governmental units from foreclosing on property and prevents liens for post-petition taxes from attaching to property and
obtaining secured creditor status unless, in either case, an order lifting the stay is obtained from the bankruptcy court. In many
cases post-petition taxes are paid as an administrative expense of the estate in bankruptcy or by order of the bankruptcy court.
CITY APPLICATION OF TAX CODE ••• The City grants an exemption to the market value of the residence homestead of persons
65 years of age or older of$16,600; the disabled are also granted an exemption of $10,000.
The City has not granted an additional exemption of 20% of the market value of residence homesteads; the minimum exemption
that may be granted under this provision being $5,000.
See Table 1 for a listing of the amounts of the exemptions described above.
Ad valorem taxes are not levied by the City against the exempt value of residence homesteads for the payment of debt.
The City does not tax nonbusiness personal property; and the Lubbock County Appraisal District collects taxes for the City.
18
-
The City does not permit split payments of taxes, and discounts for early payment of taxes are not allowed by the City, although
permitted on a local-option basis by the Property Code.
In the past, the City has taxed freeport property, although beginning with the 1999 tax year the City has exempted freeport
property from taxation.
The City collects an additional one-eighth cent sales tax for reduction of ad valorem taxes. The City will hold an election on
November 4, 2003 to increase this tax by one-quarter cent, for a total of three-eighths of a cent.
The City has adopted tax abatement policies, as described below.
TAX ABATEMENT POLICIES ... The City has established a tax abatement program to encourage economic development. In order
to be considered for tax abatement, a project must be located in a reinvestment zone or enterprise zone (a commercial project
must be in an enterprise zone) and must meet several criteria pertaining to job creation and property value enhancement. The
City has established three enterprise zones, the north zone, of approximately 18.6 square miles, the south zone, of approximately
15.7 square miles, and the international airport zone, of approximately 10.3 square miles. At present, there are 20 active
enterprise projects and tax abatements, principally in the northeast and southeast sections of the City. In accordance with State
law, the City has adopted policies for granting tax abatements, which provide guidelines for tax abatements for both industrial
and commercial projects. The guidelines for industrial and commercial projects are similar, except that qualifying industrial
projects may receive a ten year abatement, while qualifying commercial projects are limited to five year tax abatements.
Although older abatements made by the City were given full (100%) tax abatement, since 1997 the City has negotiated
abatements on a declining percentage basis, with a portion of the tax value being added to the City's tax roll each year during the
life of the abatement. The City's policies provide a variety of criteria that affect the terms of the abatement, including the
projected life of the project, the type of business seeking the abatement, with certain businesses targeted for abatement, the
amount of real or personal property to be added to the tax roll, the number of jobs to be created or retained, among other factors.
The policies disallow abatements for certain categories of property, including real property, inventories, tools, vehicles, aircraft,
and housing. Each abatement policy provides for a recapture of the abated taxes if the business is discontinued during the term
of the agreement, except for discontinuances caused by natural disaster or other factors beyond the reasonable control of the
applicant. For a description of the amount of property in the City that has been abated for City taxation purposes, see "Table 1 -
Valuations, Exemptions, and General Obligation Debt."
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING ZoNE ... Chapter 311, Texas Tax Code, provides that the City and other taxing entities may
designate a continuous geographic area in their jurisdiction as a TIF if the area constitutes an economic or social liability in its
present condition and use. Any ad valorem taxes relating to growth of the tax base in a TIF above the frozen base may be used
only to finance improvements within the TIF and are not available for the payment of other tax supported debt of the City and
other participating taxing units. Together with other taxing units, the City participates in two TIFs, the Central Business District
Reinvestment Zone (the "Downtown TIF) and the North Overton Tax Increment Financing Reinvestment Zone (the "North
Overton TIF"). The Downtown TIF covers an approximately 0.71 square-mile area which includes part of the central business
district and abuts the North Overton TIF. The base taxable values of the Downtown TIF are frozen at the level of taxable values
for 2001, the year of creation, at $101,454,552. For the first tax year of the Downtown TIF, tax year 2002, there was an
approximately 1.2% increase in value before talcing into account tax abatements and exemptions. After tax abatements and
exemptions, there was a net loss of tax value in the Downtown TIF. Consequently, for the year ended September 30, 2003, no
deposit was made to the tax increment fund for the Downtown TIF. In addition to the City, the County, County Hospital District
and the High Plains Underground Water Conservation District participate in the Downtown TIF. Given the relative tax rates of
the participants, it is anticipated that the City will be the largest contributor to the tax increment fund if there is growth from the
frozen base. The Downtown TIF was created pursuant to City ordinance and official action of the other participating taxing
entities and is to expire in 2021.
In addition to the Downtown TIF, the City enacted an ordinance in 2001 establishing the North Overton TIF. The other
participating Taxing Units in the zone are Lubbock County, Lubbock County Hospital District and the High Plains Underground
Water District. A£, for the Downtown TIF, the taxes levied by the City in the 2002-03 fiscal year represent approximately 65%
of all taxes levied by all participating Taxing Units. The City ordinance establishing the North Overton TIF provides that the
TIF will terminate on December 31, 2031 or at an earlier time designated by subsequent ordinance of the City Council. The
North Overton TIF consists of approximately 325 acres near the Central Business District of the City. The frozen tax base for
the North Overton TIF was established as of January 1, 2002 at $26,772,484. During the first year of its existence, there was no
tax increment in the zone, due to the demolition of existing structures as land was being acquired and prepared for future
development. A£, of January 1, 2003, there was approximately $12.7 million of tax increment in the North Overton TIF, and at
present construction is underway on several mixed use multifamily and commercial projects in the TIF.

Note: On July 25, 2003, the Lubbock Central Appraisal District certified the City's 2003 tax roll at $7,898,368,386, which
includes $352,138,085 of value that is still under tax appraisal appeal. See "Discussion of Recent Financial and Management
Events."
(1) See above, "Tax Information -Tax Abatement Policy".
(2) The statement of indebtedness does not include outstanding $39,785,000 Electric Light and Power System Revenue Bonds,
as these Bonds are payable solely from the Net Revenues of the City's Electric Light and Power System. Also excludes
$22,810,000 of WTMPA Bonds, with respect to which the City is jointly and severally obligated, together with other
members ofWTMPA, to pay from its electric enterprise fund.
(3) As a matter of policy, the City provides debt service on general obligation debt issued to fund improvements to its
Waterworks System, Sewer System, Solid Waste System and Drainage System from surplus revenues of these Systems (see
ttTable 8A -Pro-Forma General Obligation Debt Service Requirements", "Table SB -Division of Debt Service
Requirements", "Table 9 -Interest and Sinking Fund Budget Projection" and "Table 10 -Computation of Self-Supporting
20
,r-,
-
Debt"). The Tax Increment Certificates are shown in Table l as self-supporting debt However, the City projects that the
amount of incremental tax revenue available to cover debt service on the Tax Increment Certificates will be insufficient
until the 2005-06 fiscal year. In 2005-06, based upon development projections that the City believes to be reasonable, but
which are dependent in part on future economic conditions and other factors that the City can not control and as to which it
can give no assurances, the City anticipates that tax increment revenues will be adequate to cover debt requirements for that
year and prior years. In the interim, the City intends to make an interfund loan to cover the debt service, and if the
projected development in the North Overton TIF proceeds as expected, the City would repay such loan from revenues
received in future years. In addition, in August 2003 the City plans to offer $13,280,000 (estimated amount) Combination
Tax and Surplus Revenue Electric Light and Power Certificates of Obligation, Series 2003 and $8,915,000 (estimated
amount) Combination Tax and Surplus Revenue Electric Light and Power Refunding Bonds, Series 2003. Current City
planning calls for the 2003 LP&L Debt and other outstanding revenue bonds issued by the City for LP&L to be self-
supporting, but no assurances can be given that all or some part of such debt will not be self-sufficient (see "Discussion of
Recent Financial and Management Events -Mid-Year Budget Amendments; Financial Challenges").
"Waterworks System General Obligation Debt" includes $67,980,314 principal amount of outstanding general obligation
bonds and certificates of obligation (including the Waterworks Certificates) that were or are being issued to finance
Waterworks System improvements, and that are being paid, or are expected to be paid, from Waterworks System revenues.
The City has no outstanding Waterworks System Revenue Bonds but has obligated revenues of the Waterworks System
under water supply contracts. See "The Waterworks System".
"Sewer System General Obligation Debt" includes $48,533,989 principal amount of general obligation bonds and
certificates of obligation (including the Sewer Certificates) that were or is being issued to finance Sewer System
improvements, and that are being paid, or is expected to be paid, from Sewer System . revenues. The City has no
outstanding Sewer System Revenue Bonds.
"Solid Waste Disposal System General Obligation Debt" includes $8,842,493 principal amount of general obligation debt
(including the Solid Waste Certificates) that was or is being issued for Solid Waste System improvements, and that is being
paid, or is expected to be paid, from revenues derived from Solid Waste service fees. The City has no outstanding Solid
Waste Disposal System Revenue Bonds.
"Drainage Utility System General Obligation Debt" includes $74,425,000 principal amount of general obligation debt
(including the Drainage Certificates) that was or is being issued for Drainage System improvements, and that is being paid,
or that is expected to be paid, from revenues derived from Drainage Utility System fees. The City bas no outstanding
Drainage Utility System Revenue Bonds.
''Tax Increment Financing General Obligation Debt" consists of the Tax Increment Certificates that are being issued for
construction and improvements in the North Overton TIF, and that is expected to be paid from revenues derived from the
Pledged Tax Increment Revenues. The City has no outstanding Tax Increment Financing Revenue Bonds.
(4) "General Purpose Funded Debt Payable from Ad Valorein Taxes" includes $68,684,454 of general obligation debt and
$1,503,750 principal amount of outstanding Tax and Airport Surplus Revenue Certificates of Obligation on which debt
service is provided from Passenger Facility Charge ("PFC") revenues (see Footnote (2), "Table 9 -Interest and Sinking
Fund Budget Projectionn). ·

TABLE 7 -ESTIMATED OVERLAPPING DEBT
Expenditures of the various taxing entities within the territory of the City are paid out of ad valorem taxes levied by such entities
on properties within the City. Such entities are independent of the City and may incur borrowings to finance their expenditures.
This statement of direct and estimated overlapping ad valorem tax bonds ("Tax Debt") was developed from information
contained in "Texas Municipal Reports" published by the Municipal Advisory Council of Texas. Except for the amounts
relating to the City, the City has not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of such information, and no person
should rely upon such information as being accurate or complete. Furthermore, certain of the entities listed may have issued
additional Tax Debt since the date hereof, and such entities may have programs requiring the issuance of substantial amounts of
additional Tax Debt, the amount of which cannot be determined. The following table reflects the estimated share of overlapping
Tax Debt of the City.

(2) Passenger Facility Charges ("PFCs") are authorized by the Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA"). PFC revenues must
be used for allowable costs of FAA approved airport projects, including debt service on airport obligations issued for
approved airport projects. The City has issued several series of debt for municipal airport improvements (" Airport Debt"),
including tax and airport surplus revenue certificates of obligation in 1993 and 1998, and general obligation refunding
bonds in 1985 and 1997, which refunded prior issues of Airport Debt. A portion of the refunding bonds have been
allocated to the airport in proportion to the principal amount of Airport Debt that was refunded. PFC revenues in the fiscal
year ending 9-30-02 were $1,342,212, and, as shown above, $209,434 of PFC revenues have been budgeted for payment of
Airport Debt in 2002-03, which equates to self-supporting Airport Debt with a principal balance of $1,638,750. For 2002-
03, the portion of Airport Debt that is being funded from general fund contributions (ad valorem taxes) equates to a
principal balance of$3,495,082.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM AND A.i ... TICIPATED lsSUANCE OF GENERAL OBLIGATION DEBT .•• The City Council adopted
a resolution during the 1984-85 budget process establishing pennanent capital maintenance funds for capital projects. A capital
improvement plan is made for planning purposes and may identify projects that will be deferred or omitted entirely in future
years. In addition, as conditions change, new projects may be added that are not currently identified. In order for a project to be
funded as a capital project it must have a cost of $25,000 or more and a life of seven or more years. Many of the projects require
more than one year of completion and are accounted for on a life to date basis. For fiscal year ending 9-30-03, the City Council
has approved $57,972,331 in total expenditures for capital projects for all general purpose projects, as well as projects for the
City's Electric System, Waterworks System, Sewer System, Solid Waste System, Drainage System and Airport. The Capital
Projects Fund budget for 2002-2003 also identifies an additional $119,258,382 in future improvements for all City departments
over the four succeeding fiscal years, including $32,050,000 to be financed through the issuance of tax-supported debt in these
years. The balance of the capital expenditures are anticipated to be funded from reserves or current year revenue sources.
The current issuance of tax supported debt by the City, which includes the issuance of the Bonds, is intended to fund General
Fund and enterprise fund capital expenditures for the next 18 to 24 month period, although itis possible that the City will need
to issue approximately $4 million of tax supported certificates of obligation during the 2003-04 fiscal year to pay the City's share
of a State Department of Transportation freeway project in the City. In addition, it is possible that the City could issue a portion
of any voted bond authorization should it be approved by the voters during the 2003-04 fiscal year (see the discussion below),
but it is unlikely that more than $1.5 million of any such voted authorization would be issued during the 2003-04 fiscal year. At
present, however, City staff and management are formulating the 2003-04 capital improvement budget for presentation to the
City Council, and the amount of debt that will be included in the final capital improvement budget of the City could be revised
when the new capital projects fund budget is finally adopted by the Council.
The City typically issues voted bonds for general purpose City projects, such as streets, parks, libraries, civic centers and public
safety improvements. However, the City has incurred substantial tax supported debt to fund portions of the capital budget of the
Waterworks System, Sewer System, Drainage System, City Airport, Solid Waste System and is presently anticipating issuing tax
supported debt for the Electric System. As described elsewhere in this Official Statement, such enterprise fund indebtedness is
generally anticipated to be self-supporting from enterprise fund revenues.
During the second quarter of Fiscal Year 2002-03, the Lubbock Citizens Advisory Committee was appointed and charged with
evaluating capital improvement needs that should be submitted to the voters of the City. In June 2003, the Committee reported
to the City Council that it had identified approximately $29.9 million in capital projects to be funded from voted bonds at a
future City bond election. The Committee undertook its review with a goal of providing the City Council with recommendations
for projects to be constructed during the 2004-2008 time frame and prioritizing the projects in a manner that would permit the
bonds to be issued without a tax rate increase. The City Council has not formally ordered the election, but has indicated that it
expects to call the election during the 2003-04 fiscal year.

PENSION FuND ... TEXAS MUNICIPAL RETIREMENT SYSTEM C1X2> ••• All permanent, full-time City employees who are not
firefighters are covered by the Texas Municipal Retirement System ("TMRS"). TMRS is an agent, multiple-employer, public-
employee retirement gystem which is covered by a State statute and is administered by six trustees appointed by the Governor of
Texas. TMRS operates independently of its member cities.
The City ofLubbockjoined TMRS in 1950 to supplement Social Security. All City employees except firefighters are covered
by Social Security. Options offered under TMRS, and adopted by the City, include current, prior and antecedent service credits,
ten year vesting, updated service credit, occupational disability benefits and survivor benefits for the spouse of a vested
employee. An employee who retires receives an annuity based on the amount of the employees contributions over-matched two
for one by the City. Since October 11, 1997, the employee contribution rate has been 7% of gross salary. The City's
contribution rate is calculated each year using actuarial techniques applied to experience. The 2002 contribution rate was
13.99%. The 2003 contribution rate is 14.05%. Enabling statutes prohibit any member city from adopting options which
impose liabilities that cannot be amortized over 25 years within a specified statutory rate.
On December 31, 2001, the actuarial value of assets held by TMRS (not including those of the Supplemental Disability Fund,
which is "pooled"), for the City of Lubbock were $172,510,622. Unfunded actuarial accrued liabilities on December 31, 2001
were $43,073,413, which is being amortized over a 25-year period beginning January, 1997. Total contributions by the City to
the System for Calendar Year 2002 were $5,513,501.97.

FIREMEN'S RELIEF AND RETIREMENT FUND en ... City of Lubbock firefighters are members of the locally administered
Lubbock Firemen's Relief and Retirement Fund (the uFUND"), operating under an act passed in 1937 by the State Legislature
and adopted by City firefighters, by vote of the department, in 1941. Firefighters are not covered by Social Security.
The Fund is governed by seven trustees, three firefighters, two outside trustees (appointed by the other trustees), the Mayor or
his representative and the chief financial officer or his representative. Execution of the act is monitored by the Firemen's
Pension Commissioner, who is appointed by the Governor.
Benefits of retired firemen are determined on a "fonnula" or a "final salary" plan. Actuarial reviews are performed every two
years, and the fund is audited annually. Firefighters contribute 11% of full salary into the fund and the City must contribute a
like amount; however, the city contributes on a basis of the percentage of salary which is a ratio adjusted annually that bears the
same relationship to the firefighter's contribution rate that the City's rate paid into the TMRS and FICA bears to the rate other
employees pay into the TMRS and FICA. The City's contribution rate for 2002 was 16.25%.
As of December 31, 2000, over-funded pension benefit obligations were $4,985,739 which is being amortized over a 13 year
period beginning January 1, 1997.

TABLE14 • MUNICIPALSALESTAXHISTORY
The City has adopted the Municipal Sales and Use Tax Act, VTCA, Tax Code, Chapter 321, which grants the City the power to
impose and levy a 1% Local Sales and Use Tax within the City; the proceeds are credited to the General Fund and are not
pledged to the payment of the Certificates or other debt of the City. In addition, in January, 1995, the voters of the City
approved the imposition of an additional sales and use tax of one-eighth of a cent as authorized by VTCA, Tax Code, Chapter
323, as amended. Collection for the additional tax commenced in October, 1995 with the proceeds from the one--eighth cent
sales tax designated for the use and benefit of the City to replace property tax revenues lost as a result of the adoption of the tax.
Collections and enforcements of the City's sales tax are effected through the offices of the Comptroller of Public Accounts, State
of Texas, who remits the proceeds of the tax, to the City monthly, after deduction of a 2% service fee. Historical collections of
the City's local Sales and Use Tax is shown below:

FINANCIAL POLICIES
Basis of Accounting ... The accounting policies of the City confonn to generally accepted accounting principles of the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board and program standards adopted by the Government Finance Officer's Association of
the United States and Canada ("GFOA"). The GFOA has awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial
Reporting to the City for each of the fiscal years ended September 30, 1984 through September 30, 2002. The City's 2003
report will be submitted to GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate.
Implementation of New Accounting Standards ..• For the year ended September 30, 2002, the City implemented the provisions of
the Governmental Accounting Standard Board ("GASB") Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements -and Management's
Discussion and Analysis -for State and Local Governments, GASB Statement No. 37, Basic Financial Statements -and
Management's Discussion and Analysis -for State and Local Governments: Omnibus, and GASB Statement No. 38, Certain
Financial Note Disclosures which results in a change in content and format of the City's financial statements (collectively, the
"New GASB Statements"). The audited financial statements of the City for the year ended September 30, 2002, prepared in
accordance with the New GASB Statements, are in included in Appendix B hereto.
The purpose of the New GASB Statements is to create new information and restructure much of the information that
governments have presented in the past to provide a more comprehensive demonstration of their annual :financial performance on
a system-wide basis. Among the significant changes effected by the new accounting standards are new presentations for
proprietaty or business-type operations of the City, such as those reported for the City's water and waste water operations (the
"Proprietary Funds"). As required by the newly adopted accounting principles, the City's annual report consists of three basic
:financial statements for the Proprietaiy Funds: the Statement of Net Assets; the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes
in Net Assets; and the Statement of Cash Flows. Those statements are included in the financial statements of the City for the
year ended September 30, 2002 in Appendix B.
33
A discussion of the New GASB Statements is set forth in the Management Discussion and Analysis and in various notes to the
City's financial statements in Appendix B,
General Fund Balance ... The City's objective is to maintain an unreserved/undesignated fund balance at a minimum of an
amount equal to two months budgeted operating expenditures to meet unanticipated contingencies and fluctuations in revenue.
Enterprise Fund Balance ... It is the policy of the City to maintain retained earnings equal to three months operating expense
and debt requirements in each of the Electric, Water, Solid Waste and Sewer funds for unforeseen contingencies (although the
Electric System has not funded any operating reserves under this policy). The City's financial policy provides that such retained
earnings shall be accumulated over a ten year period, which commenced in 1996. Resources are also retained in a rate
stabilization fund within these funds to meet shortfalls in revenues or fluctuating rate environments, to fund capital
improvements and may be allocated if there are not sufficient resources in unreserved/undesignated retained earnings.
Enterprise Fund Revenues ... It is the policy of the City that each of the Electric, Water, Solid Waste and Sewer funds be
operated in a manner that results in self sufficiency, without the need for additional monetary transfers from other funds
(although the Electric System has relied upon interfund loans from other enterprise funds and from the General Fund in recent
years). Such self sufficiency is to be obtained through the rates, fees and charges of each of these enterprise funds. For purposes
of determining self sufficiency, cost recovery for each enterprise fund includes direct operating and maintenance expense, as
well as indirect cost recovery, in-lieu of transfers to the General Fund for property and franchise tax payments, capital
expenditures and debt service payments, where appropriate.
Debt Service Fund Balance ... A reasonable debt service fund balance is maintained in order to compensate for unexpected
contingencies.
Budgetary Procedures ... The City follows these procedures in establishing operating budgets:
I) Prior to August l, the City Manager submits to the City Council a proposed operating budget for the fiscal year
commencing the following October 1. The operating budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of
financing them.
2) Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comments.
3) Prior to October 1 the budget is legally enacted through passage of an ordinance.
4) The City Manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts between departments and funds. Expenditures may not
legally exceed budgeted appropriations at the fund level.
5) Formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control device during the year for the Convention and
Tourism, Criminal Investigation, and Capital Projects Funds. Budgets are adopted on an annual basis. Formal
budgetary integration is not employed for Debt Service funds because effective budgetary control is alternatively
achieved through general obligation bond indenture and other contract provisions.
6) The Budget for the General Fund is adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles
("GAAP").
7) Appropriations for the General Fund lapse at year end. Unencumbered balances for the Capital Projects Funds
continue as authority for subsequent period expenditures.
8) Budgetary comparison is presented for the General Fund in the combined financial statement section of the
Comprehensive Annual fmancial Report.
The City has received the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award from the GFOA for the following budget years beginning
October 1, 1983-88 and 1990-02. The City has submitted the current budget to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another
award.
Insurance and Risk Management ... The City is self-insured for general liability and health benefits coverage, although it
purchases reinsurance coverage and risk management for claims in excess of $250,000 for general liability claims. Airport
liability insurance and workers' compensation is insured under policies issued by third party insurers. The City's insurance
policies are maintained with large deductibles for fire and extended coverage and boiler coverage.
An Insurance Fund has been established in the Internal Service Fund to account for insurance programs and budgeted transfers
are made to this fund based upon estimated payments for claim losses.
At 9-30-02 the total Fund Equity of these insurance funds were as follows:
Self-insurance -health
Self-insurance -risk management

CAPITAL IMPROVEME:NT PROGRAM AND A1"TICIPATED ISSUANCE OF GENERAL OBLIGATION DEBT ... The City Council adopted
a resolution during the 1984-85 budget process establishing pennanent capital maintenance funds for capital projects. A capital
improvement plan is made for planning purposes and may identify projects that will be deferred or omitted entirely in future
years. In addition, as conditions change, new projects may be added that are not currently identified. In order for a project to be
funded as a capital project it must have a cost of $25,000 or more and a life of seven or more years. Many of the projects require
more than one year of completion and are accounted for on a life to date basis. For fiscal year ending 9-30-03, the City Council
has approved $57,972,331 in total expenditures for capital projects for all general purpose projects, as well as projects for the
City's Electric System, Waterworks System, Sewer System, Solid Waste System, Drainage System and Airport. The Capital
Projects Fund budget for 2002-2003 also identifies an additional $119,258,382 in future improvements for all City departments
over the four succeeding fiscal years, including $32,050,000 to be financed through the issuance of tax-supported debt in these
years. The balance of the capital expenditures are anticipated to be funded from reserves or current year revenue sources.
The current issuance of tax supported debt by the City, which includes the issuance of the Bonds, is intended to fund General
Fund and enterprise fund capital expenditures for the next 18 to 24 month period, although it is possible that the City will need
to issue approximately $4 million of tax supported certificates of obligation during the 2003-04 fiscal year to pay the City's share
of a State Department of Transportation freeway project in the City. In addition, it is possible that the City could issue a portion
of any voted bond authorization should it be approved by the voters during the 2003-04 fiscal year (see the discussion below),
but it is unlikely that more than $1.5 million of any such voted authorization would be issued during the 2003-04 fiscal year. At
present, however, City staff and management are formulating the 2003-04 capital improvement budget for presentation to the
City Council, and the amount of debt that will be included in the final capital improvement budget of the City could be revised
when the new capital projects fund budget is finally adopted by the Council.
The City typically issues voted bonds for general purpose City projects, such as streets, parks, libraries, civic centers and public
safety improvements. However, the City has incurred substantial tax supported debt to fund portions of the capital budget of the
Waterworks System, Sewer System, Drainage System, City Airport, Solid Waste System and is presently anticipating issuing tax
supported debt for the Electric System. As described elsewhere in this Official Statement, such enterprise fund indebtedness is
generally anticipated to be self-supporting from enterprise fund revenues.
During the second quarter of Fiscal Year 2002-03, the Lubbock Citizens Advisory Committee was appointed and charged with
evaluating capital improvement needs that should be submitted to the voters of the City. In June 2003, the Committee reported
to the City Council that it had identified approximately $29.9 million in capital projects to be funded from voted bonds at a
future City bond election. The Committee undertook its review with a goal of providing the City Council with recommendations
for projects to be constructed during the 2004-2008 time frame and prioritizing the projects in a manner that would permit the
bonds to be issued without a tax rate increase. The City Council has not formally ordered the election, but has indicated that it
expects to call the election during the 2003-04 fiscal year.

PENSION FuND ... TExAs MUNICIPAL RETIREMENT SYSTEM ttXZJ • • • All pennanent, full-time City employees who are not
firefighters are covered by the Texas Municipal Retirement System ("TMRS"). TMRS is an agent, multiple-employer, public-
employee retirement system which is covered by a State statute and is administered by six trustees appointed by the Governor of
Texas. TMRS operates independently of its member cities.
The City of Lubbock joined TMRS in 1950 to supplement Social Security. All City employees except firefighters are covered
by Social Security. Options offered under TMRS, and adopted by the City, include current, prior and antecedent service credits,
ten year vesting, updated service credit, occupational disability benefits and survivor benefits for the spouse of a vested
employee. An employee who retires receives an annuity based on the amount of the employees contributions over-matched two
for one by the City. Since October 11, 1997, the employee contribution rate has been 7% of gross salary. The City's
contribution rate is calculated each year using actuarial techniques applied to experience. The 2002 contribution rate was
13.99%. The 2003 contn'bution rate is 14.05%. Enabling statutes prohibit any member city from adopting options which
impose liabilities that cannot be amortized over 25 years within a specified statutory rate.
On December 31, 2001, the actuarial value of assets held by TMRS (not including those of the Supplemental Disability Fund,
which is "pooled"), for the City of Lubbock were $172,510,622. Unfunded actuarial accrued liabilities on December 31, 2001
were $43,073,413, which is being amortized over a 25-year period beginning January, 1997. Total contributions by the City to
the System forCalendarYear2002 were $5,513,501.97.
30
The City obtains an actuarial study of its risk mangagement fund (the "Risk Fund") every three to four years. In fiscal year 2003,
an actuarial study was conducted that considered the types of insurance protection obtained by the City, the loss exposure and
loss history, and claims being paid or reserved that are not covered by insurance. The 2003 actuarial review recommended that
the liabilities of the Risk Fund be increased to $7,856,000 from $6,014,073 to meet the minimum expected confidence level of
the Government Accounting Standard Board Statement Number 10 ("GASB 10"), which requires maintenance of risk
management assets at a level representing at least a 50% confidence level that all liabilities, if presented for payment
immediately, could be paid. The Risk Fund has a balance of $10,874,196, leaving a balance of $3,018,000 over the
recommended liability funding level. Given the Risk Fund balance, the City exceeds the minimum GASB 10 requirement, with
an approximately 85% confidence level.

TAXMATTERS
TAX EXEMPTION ... The delivery of the Bonds is subject to the opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that interest on the Bonds
for federal income tax purposes (I) will be excludable from gross income, as defined in section 6 l of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended to the date of such opinion (the "Code"), pursuant to section 103 of the Code and existing regulations,
published rulings, and court decisions, and (2) will not be included in computing the alternative minimum taxable income of the
owners thereof who are individuals or, except as hereinafter described, corporations. A form of Bond Counsel's opinion is
reproduced as Appendix C. The statute, regulations, rulings, and court decisions on which such opinion is based are su~ect to
change.
Interest on all tax-exempt obligations, including the Bonds, owned by a corporation will be included in such corporation's
adjusted current earnings for tax years beginning after 1989, for purposes of calculating the alternative minimum taxable income
of such corporation, other than an S corporation, a qualified mutual fund, a real estate investment trust, a real estate mortgage
investment conduit, or a financial asset securitization investment trust (FASIT). A corporation's alternative minimum taxable
income is the basis on which the alternative minimum tax imposed by Section 55 of the Code will be computed.
In rendering the foregoing opinions, Bond Counsel will rely upon representations and certifications of the City made in a
certificate dated the date of delivery of the Bonds pertaining to the use, expenditure, and investment of the proceeds of the Bonds
and. will assume continuing compliance by the City with the provisions of the Ordinance subsequent to the issuance of the
Bonds. The Ordinance contains covenants by the City with respect to, among other matters, the use of the proceeds of the Bonds
and the facilities financed therewith by persons other than state or local governmental units, the manner in which the proceeds of
the Bonds are to be invested, the periodic calculation and payment to the United States Treasury of arbitrage "profits" from the
investment of the proceeds, and the reporting of certain infonnation to the United States Treasury. Failure to comply with any of
these covenants would cause interest on the Bonds to be includable in the gross income of the owners thereof from date of the
issuance of the Bonds.
Bond Counsel's opinion is not a guarantee of a result, but represents its legal judgment based upon its review of existing statutes,
regulations, published rulings and court decisions and the representations and covenants of the City described above. No ruling
has been sought from the Internal Revenue Service (the "Service") with respect to the matters addressed in the opinion of Bond
Counsel, and Bond Counsel's opinion is not binding on the Service. The Service has an ongoing program of auditing the tax-
exempt status of the interest on tax-exempt obligations. If an audit of the Bonds is commenced, under current procedures the
Service is likely to treat the City as the "taxpayer, " and the Owners would have no right to participate in the audit process. In
responding to or defending an audit of the. tax-exempt status of the interest on the Bonds, the City may have different or
conflicting interests from the Owners. Public awareness of any future audit of the Bonds could adversely affect the value and
liquidity of the Bonds during the pendency of the audit, regardless of its ultimate outcome.
Except as described above, Bond Counsel expresses no other opinion with respect to any other federal, state or local tax
consequences under present law, or proposed legislation, resulting from the receipt or accrual of interest on, or the acquisition or
disposition of, the Bonds. Prospective purchasers of the Bonds should be aware that the ownership of tax-exempt obligations
such as the Bonds may result in collateral federal tax consequences to, among others, financial institutions, life insurance
companies, property and casualty insurance companies, certain foreign corporations doing business in the United States, S
corporations with subchapter C earnings and profits, individual recipients of Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits,
individuals otherwise qualifying for the earned income tax credit, owners of an interest in a F ASIT and taxpayers who may be
deemed to have incurred or continued indebtedness to purchase or carry, or who have paid or incurred certain expenses allocable
to, tax-exempt obligations. Prospective purchasers should consult their own tax advisors as to the applicability of these
consequences to their particular circumstances.
TAX ACCOUNTING TREATMENT OF DISCOUNT AND PREMIUM ON CERTAIN BONDS .•• The initial public offering price of certain
Bonds (the "Discount Bonds") may be less than the amount payable on such Bonds at maturity. An amount equal to the
difference between the initial public offering price of a Discount Bond (assuming that a substantial amount of the Discount
Bonds of that maturity are sold to the public at such price) and the amount payable at maturity constitutes original issue discount
to the initial purchaser of such Discount Bond. A portion of such original issue discount allocable to the holding period of such
Discount Bond by the initial purchaser will, upon the disposition of such Discount Bond (including by reason of its payment at
maturity), be treated as interest excludable from gross income, rather than as taxable gain, for federal income tax purposes, on
the same terms and conditions as those for other interest on the Bonds described above under "Tax Exemption." Such interest is
considered to be accrued actuarially in accordance with the constant interest method over the life of a Discount Bond, taking into
account the semiannual compounding of accrued interest, at the yield to maturity on such Discount Bond and generally will be
allocated to an original purchaser in a different amount from the amount of the payment denominated as interest actually
received by the original purchaser during the tax year.
However, such interest may be required to be taken into account in determining the alternative minimum taxable income of a
corporation, for purposes of calculating a corporation's alternative minimum tax imposed by Section 55 of the Code, and the
amount of the branch profits tax applicable to certain foreign corporations doing business in the United States, even though there
will not be a corresponding cash payment. In addition, the accrual of such interest may result in certain other collateral federal
income tax consequences to, among others, financial institutions, life insurance companies, property and casualty insurance
companies, S corporations with "subchapter C" earnings and profits, individual recipients of Social Security or Railroad
Retirement benefits, individuals otherwise qualifying for earned income tax credit, owners of an interest in a F ASIT, and
taxpayers who may be deemed to have incurred or continued indebtedness to purchase or carry, or who have paid or incurred
37
certain expenses allocable to, tax-exempt obligations. Moreover, in the event of the redemption, sale or other taxable disposition
of a Discount Bond by the initial owner prior to maturity, the amount realized by such owner in excess of the basis of such
Discount Bond in the hands of such owner (adjusted upward by the portion of the original issue discount allocable to the period
for which such Discount Bond was held) is includable in gross income.
Owners of Discount Bonds should consult with their own tax advisors with respect to the determination of accrued original issue
discount on Discount Bonds for federal income tax purposes and with respect to the state and local tax consequences of owning
and disposing of Discount Bonds. It is possible that, under applicable provisions governing determination of state and local
income taxes, accrued interest on Discount Bonds may be deemed to be received in the year of accrual even though there will not
be a corresponding cash payment.
The initial public offering price of certain Bonds (the "Premium Bonds") may be greater than the amount payable on such Bonds
at maturity. An amount equal to the difference between the initial public offering price of a Premium Bond (assuming that a
substantial amount of the Premium Bonds of that maturity are sold to the public at such price) and the amount payable at
maturity constitutes premium to the initial purchaser of such Premium Bonds. The basis for federal income tax purposes of a
Premium Bond in the hands of such initial purchaser must be reduced each year by the amortizable bond premium, although no
federal income tax deduction is allowed as a result of such reduction in basis for amortizable bond premium. Such reduction in
basis will increase the amount of any gain ( or decrease the amount of any loss) to be recognized for federal income tax purposes
upon a sale or other taxable disposition of a Premium Bond. The amount of premium which is arnortizable each year by an
initial purchaser is determined by using such purchaser's yield to maturity.
Purchasers of the Premium Bonds should consult with their own tax advisors with respect to the determination of amortizable
bond premium on Premium Bonds for federal income tax purposes and with respect to the state and local tax consequences of
owning and disposing of Premium Bonds.

OTHER INFORMATION
RATINGS
The Bonds are rated "Aaa" by Moody's, "AAA" by S&P and "AAA" by Fitch by virtue of an insurance policy to be issued by
MBIA. The presently outstanding tax supported debt of the City is rated "Aa3" by Moody's, "AA+" by S&P and "AA-" by
Fitch. The City also has five tax supported issues outstanding which are rated "Aaa" by Moody's, "AAA" by S&P and "AAA"
by Fitch through insurance by various commercial insurance companies. An explanation of the significance of such ratings may
be obtained from the company furnishing the rating. The ratings reflect only the respective views of such organizations and the
City makes no representation as to the appropriateness of the ratings. There is no assurance that such ratings will continue for
any given period of time or that they will not be revised downward or withdrawn entirely by either or both of such rating
companies, if in the judgment of either or both companies, circumstances so warrant. Any such downward revision or
withdrawal of such ratings may have an adverse effect on the mark.et price of the Bonds.
LITIGATION
The City is involved in various legal proceedings related to alleged personal and property damages, breach of contract and
discrimination cases, some of which involve claims against the City that exceed $500,000. State Jaw limits municipal liability
for personal injury at $250,000/$500,000 per claim and property damage at $100,000 per claim. However, there is one claim
pending against the City, which is in a preliminary stage, that the City Attorney believes could be brought under Section 1983 of
the post Civil War Civil Rights Act. If a claim should be made under that law and damages are ultimately assessed against the
City, the City would not be subject to limitations on damages. The City is also involved in a lawsuit with the City's firefighters
regarding pay issues. The firefighters obtained a $688,000 judgment against the City for damages that have accrued through
July 2002. The City has appealed this judgment. Potential damages continue to accrue at a rate of about $120,000-$150,000 per
year. This liability is not covered by any insurance policy. The City is also involved in a dispute with the general contractor for
a large drainage project that is presently nearing completion in the City. The City anticipates that the contractor will file suit
against the City and that the contractor assert damages in excess of $2 million under a breach of contract claim. This liability is •
also not covered by any insurance policy. The City intends to vigorously defend itself, although no assurance can be given that
the City will prevail in all such cases. However, the City Attorney and City management is of the view that its available sources
for payment of any such claims, which include insurance policies and City reserves for self insured claims, are adequate to pay
any presently foreseeable damages (see "Financial Policies -Insurance and Risk Management").
On the date of delivery of the Bonds to the Underwriters, the City will execute and deliver to the Underwriters a certificate to the
effect that, except as disclosed herein, no litigation of any nature has been filed or is pending, as of that date, to restrain or enjoin
the issuance or delivery of the Bonds or which would affect the provisions made for their payment or security or in any manner
question the validity of the Bonds.
REGISTRATION AND QUALIFICATION OF BoNDS FOR SALE
The sale of the Bonds has not been registered under the Federal Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance upon the
exemption provided thereunder by Section 3(a)(2); and the Bonds have not been qualified under the Securities Act of Texas in
reliance upon various exemptions contained therein; nor have the Bonds been qualified under the securities acts of any
jurisdiction. The City assumes no responsibility for qualification of the Bonds under the securities laws of any jurisdiction in
which the Bonds may be sold, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred. This disclaimer of responsibility for
qualification for sale or other disposition of the Bonds shall not be construed as an interpretation of any kind with regard to the
availability of any exemption from securities registration provisions.
LEGAL INvEsTMENTS AND ELIGIBILITY TO SECURE PuBLIC FtJNDS IN TEXAS
Section 1201.041 of the Public Security Procedures Act (Chapter 1201, Texas Government Code) provides that the Bonds are
negotiable instruments governed by Chapter 8, Texas Business and Commerce Code, and are legal and authorized investments
for insurance companies, fiduciaries, and trustees, and for the sinking funds of municipalities or other political subdivisions or
public agencies of the State of Texas. With respect to investment in the Bonds by municipalities or other political subdivisions
or public agencies of the State of Texas, the Public Funds Investment Act, Chapter 2256, Texas Government Code, requires that
the Bonds be assigned a rating of "A" or its equivalent as to investment quality by a national rating agency. See "OTHER
INFORMATION -Ratings" herein. In addition, various provisions of the Texas Finance Code provide that, subject to a prudent
investor standard, the Bonds are legal investments for state banks, savings banks, trust companies with at capital of one million
dollars or more, and savings and loan associations. The Bonds are eligible to secure deposits of any public funds of the State, its
agencies, and its political subdivisions, and are legal security for those deposits to the extent of their mark.et value. No review by
the City has been made of the laws in other states to determine whether the Bonds are legal investments for various institutions
in those states.
LEGALMATIERS
The delivery of the Bonds is subject to the approval of the Attorney General of Texas to the effect that the Bonds are valid and
legally binding obligations of the City payable from the proceeds of an annual ad valorem tax levied, within the limits prescribed
by law, upon all taxable property in the City and the approving legal opinion of Bond Counsel, to like effect and to the effect
that the interest on the Bonds wiIJ be excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes under Section 103(a) of the
39
Code, subject to the matters described under "Tax Matters" herein, including the alternative minimum tax on corporations. The
form of Bond Counsel's opinion is attached hereto as Appendix C. The legal fee to be paid Bond Counsel for services rendered
in connection with the issuance of the Bonds is contingent upon the sale and delivery of the Bonds. The legal opinion of Bond
Counsel will accompany the Bonds deposited with DTC or will be printed on the definitive Bonds in the event of the
discontinuance of the Book-Entry-Only System. Certain legal matters will be passed upon for the Underwriters by McCall
Parkhurst & Horton LLP, Dallas, Texas, Counsel for the Underwriters. The legal fee of such firm is contingent upon the sale
and delivery of the Bonds.
Bond Counsel was engaged by, and only represents, the City. Except as noted below, Bond Counsel did not take part in the
preparation of the Official Statement, and such firm has not assumed any responsibility with respect thereto or undertaken
independently to verify any of the information contained herein except that in its capacity as Bond Counsel, such firm has
reviewed the information appearing under captions "Plan Of Financing", "The Bonds" (except under the subcaptions "Book
Entry-Only System" and "Sources and Uses"), "Tax Matters," "Continuing Disclosure Of Information" (except under the
subcaption "Compliance With Prior Undertakings"), and the subcaptions "Other Information-Legal Matters" and "Other
Information-Legal Investments And Eligibility To Secure Public Funds In Texas, " and such firm is of the opinion that the
information relating to the Bonds and legal matters contained under such captions and subcaptions is an accurate and fair
description of the laws and legal issues addressed therein and, with respect to -the Bonds, such information conforms to the
Ordinance.
The legal opinions to be delivered concurrently with the delivery of the Bonds express the professional judgment of the attorneys

become an insurer or guarantor of that expression of professional judgment, of the transaction opined upon, or of the future
performance of the parties to the transaction. Nor does the rendering of an opinion guarantee the outcome of any legal dispute
that may arise out of the transaction.

well as such changed circumstances, and (ii) either (a) the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding
Bonds consent to the amendment or (b) any person unaffiliated with the City (such as nationally recognized bond counsel)
determines that the amendment will not materially impair the interests of the holders and beneficial owners of the Bonds. The
City may also amend or repeal the provisions of this continuing disclosure agreement if the SEC amends or repeals the
applicable provisions of the SEC Rule 15c2-12 or a court offU¥tl jurisdiction enters judgment that such provisions of the SEC
Rule 15c2-12 are invalid, but only if and to the extent that the provisions of this sentence would not prevent an underwriter from
lawfully purchasing or selling Bonds in the primary offering of the Bonds. If the City so amends the agreement, it has agreed to
include with the next financial infonnation and operating data provided in accordance with its agreement described above under
"Annual Reports" an explanation, in narrative form, of the reasons for the amendment and of the impact of any change in the
type of financial information and operating data so provided.
COMPLIANCE WITH PRIOR UNDERTAKINGS .•. The City became obligated to file annual reports and financial statements with
the state information depository ("SID") and each nationally recognized municipal securities information repository
(''NRMSIR") in an offering that took place in 1997. All of the City's General Obligation debt reports and financial statements
were timely filed with both the SID and each NRMSIR; however, due to an administrative oversight, the City filed its fiscal year
end 1999, 2000, and 2001 Electric and Power Revenue debt reports late to the SID and each NRMSIR. The financial
information has since been filed, as well as a notice of late filing. The City has implemented procedures to ensure timely filing
of all future financial information.

GOVERNMENT AND MILITARY (t>
Reese Air Force Base (Reese), a pilot training base located adjacent to the City, was included on the list of bases approved for closure
by the President and Congress in July, 1995. Reese closed on September 30, 1997.
As a result of the closure, the City developed a re-use plan for the facilities. Reese represented approximately 2.6% of the local work
force. While closure of the base did not have a positive impact on the Lubbock economy, the growth in other economic sectors
minimized or neutralized the effect of the closure of the base. In addition, there has been a positive economic impact from the re-use
of the base.
In 1997, the Texas Legislature enacted Chapter 2300 of the Texas Government Code that provided for the creation of the Lubbock
Reese Redevelopment Authority (the "Authority"). The Authority is a political subdivision of the State of Texas and is authorized to
accept title from the United States to all or any portion of the real, pennanent, and mixed property situated within Reese Air Force
Base. The Authority is empowered to manage, lease, sale and develop the property at Reese Air Force Base.
The former air base, now known as Reese Technology Center and is the home of the prized Institute of Environmental and Human
Health (TIEHH). TIEHH is a joint venture between Texas Tech University and Texas Tech Health Sciences Center and researches
the exposure and effects toxic chemicals have on human health and the environment. TIEHH has assisted in stimulating the Lubbock
economy by creating 157 jobs with a payroll-to-date of 9 .9 million. TIEHH' s location as the anchor tenant at the Reese Technology
Center has assisted the facility in being transformed into a research, industrial and commercial center. Other research facilities that
have been relocated to Reese Technology Center is the Texas Tech University Wind Engineering and Advanced Vehicle Engineering
Research Centers.
South Plains College has also taken advantage of Reese Technology Centers accessibility and proximity and moved their entire
Lubbock campus to Reese. South Plains College has more than 3.300 students a semester at the Reese Technology Center.
Other businesses located at the Reese Technology Center include Supachill, an Australian based company that specializes in
refrigeration, freezing and cryogenics for food products. Also located at Reese is the centralized operation of Aslan. This company
will facilitate discovery, development and promulgation of new protocols, techniques and patient care services for pediatric and adult
disabled citizens. The will be working closely with Texas Tech University in their research and development

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type
activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate
remaining fund information of the City of Lubbock, Texas ("the City") as of and for the year ended
September 30, 2002, which collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements ("BFS") as listed in
the table of contents. These BFS are the responsibility of the City's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these BFS based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards
("GAS"), issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. The financial statements of City Transit Management Company, Inc., dba Citibus,
Market Lubbock Economic Development Corporation, dba Market Lubbock, Inc. and Civic Lubbock, Inc.,
component units of the City, were not audited in accordance with GAS. An audit includes examining, on
a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the BFS referred to above, present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial
position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the aggregate discretely presented
component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City, as of
September 30, 2002, and the respective changes in financial position and cash flows, where applicable,
thereof for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.
As discussed in Note 3 (L) to the BFS, an adjustment has been reflected in beginning-ofwyear net assets
to restate the amount previously reported.
As described in Note 1 (B), the City has implemented new Government Accounting Standards, as required
by the provisions of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board ("GASS") Statement No. 34, Basic
Financial Statements -and Management's Discussion and Analysis -for State and Local Governments,
GASB Statement No. 37 -Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis -For
State and Local Governments -Omnibus, GASB Statement No. 38 -Certain Financial Statements Note
Disclosures, and GASB Interpretation No. 6 -Recognition and Measurement of Certain Liabilities and
Expenditures in Governmental Fund Financial Statements, during the year ended September 30, 2002.
In accordance with GAS, we have also issued our report dated April 4, 2003 on our consideration of the
City's internal control over financial reporting and ~ur tests of its compliance with certain provisions of
laws, regulations, contracts and grants. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in
accordance with GAS and should be read in conjunction with this report in considering the results of our
audit.
The Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") on pages 17 through 31 is not a required part of
the BFS but is supplementary information required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board.
We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of management
regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the required supplementary information.
However, we did not audit the information and express no opinion on it.
Our audit was performed for the purpose of fanning an opinion on the City's BFS taken as a whole. The
information identified in the table of contents as combining and individual fund financial statements and
schedules are presented in the City's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report ("CAFR") for purposes of
additional analysis and are not a required part of the BFS of the City. Such information has been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the City's BFS and, in our opinion, is fairly
stated, in all material respects, in relation to the City's BFS taken as a whole.
The information provided in the Introductory, Statistical and Supplementary sections listed in the table of
contents has not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the City's BFS and we
express no opinion on that information.

RECONCILIATION OF THE BALANCE SHEET OF GOVERNMENT AL FUNDS
TO THE STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2002
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of net assets are different because:
Total fund balance -governmental funds
Capital assets used in governmental activities are not financial resources and
therefore are not reported in the funds.
Internal service funds (ISF) are used by management to charge the costs of
certain activities, such as insurance and telecommunications, to individual funds.
The assets and liabilities of the ISF primarily serving governmental funds are
included in governmental activities in the statement of net assets as follows:
Net assets
Net book value of fixed assets
Compensated absences
Amounts due to business-type ISF for amounts overcharged
Certain liabilities are not due and payable in the current period and therefore are
not reported in the funds. Those Habllities are as follows:
General obligation bonds
Compensated absences
Rebatable arbitrage
Accrued interest on general obligation bonds
Revenue earned but unavailable in the funds is deferred. Unavailable criteria is
not used in the recognition criteria in the Statement of Net Assets

CITY OF LUBBOCK, TEXAS
RECONCILIATION OF THE STATEMENT OF REVENUES, EXPENDITURES AND CHANGES
IN FUND BALANCES OF GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
TO THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities are different because:
Net change in fund balances -total governmental funds
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the
statement of activities the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated
useful lives and reported as depreciation expense. This is the amount by which
capital outlays ($13,306,971) exceeded depreciation ($9,223,638} in the current
period.
Bond proceeds provide current financial resources to governmental funds, but
issuing debt increases long-term liabilities in the statement of net assets.
Repayment of bond principal is an expenditure in the governmental funds, but the
repayment reduces long-term liabilities in the statement of net assets. This is the
amount by which proceeds exceeded repayments.
Estimated long-term liabilities for compensated absences are recognized as
expenses in the Statement of Activities as earned, but are recognized when
current financial resources are used in the governmental funds. This amount is
the net change in the estimated long-term liability for compensated absences this
year.
Estimated long-term liabilities for rebatable arbitrage are recognized as expenses
in the Statement of Activities as earned, but are recognized when current financial
resources are used in the governmental funds. This amount is the net change in
the estimated long-term liability for rebatable arbitrage this year.
Property taxes levied, but not available, are not revenues in the governmental
funds, but are accrued when earned (net of estimated uncollectibles) in the
Statement of Activities. This amount is the net change in deferred property taxes
for the year;
Internal service funds are used by management to charge the costs of certain
activities, such as insurance and telecommunications, to individual funds. The
net revenue (expense) of certain internal service funds is reported with
governmental activities.
Other liabilities are recognized as expenses in the Statement of Activities as
earned, but are recognized when current financial resources are used in the
governmental funds. This amount is the net change in the other liabilities this
year.
The net effect of various miscellaneous transactions involving capital assets (i.e.,
sales and trade-ins) is to decrease net assets.

NOTE I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POUCIES
The Basic Financial Statements (BFS} of the City of Lubbock, Lubbock County, Texas (City) have been
prepared in confonnity with Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America as
applied to government units, including specialized industry practices as specified in the American Institute
of Certified Public Accountants audit and accounting guide titled Audits of State and Local Governmental
Units (GAAP). The Government Accounting Standards Board (GASE) is the aclmowledged standard-
setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. With respect to
proprietary activities related to business-type activities and enterprise funds, including component units,
the City has adopted GASB Statement No. 20, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Proprietary
Funds and Other Governmental Entities that use Proprietary Fund Accounting. The City applies all
applicable GASB pronouncements as well as Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statements
and Interpretations, Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinions and Accounting Research Bulletins of
the Committee on Accounting Procedure, issued on or before November 30, 1989, unless those
pronouncements conflict with or contradict GASB pronouncements. The more significant accounting
policies are described below.
A. REPORTING ENTITY
The City is a municipal corporation governed by a Mayor-Council form of government. As required
by GAAP, the BFS present the reporting entity which consists of the City (the primary government),
organizations for which the City is financially accountable and other organizations for which the
nature and significance of their relationship with the City are such that exclusion could cause the
City's BFS to be misleading or incomplete.
BLENDED COMPONENT UNITS
The following component unit has been included in the City's financial reporting entity using the
blended method because although it is legally separate, its operations are so intertwined with the City
that it is, in substance, a part of the City. ·
The Urban Renewal Agency (URA) was formed to provide urban renewal services for the City, that
include rehabilitation of housing, acquisition of housing, and disposition of land. The Urban
Renewal Agency Board is composed of nine members appointed by the Mayor, with the consent of
the City Council, and acts only in an advisory capacity to the City Council. All powers to govern
URA are held by the City Council.
DISCREIBLY PRESENTED COMPONENT UNITS
The Component Unit columns in the Government-Wide Financial Statements include the financial
data of the City's other Component Units. They are reported in a separate column to emphasize that
they are legally separate from the City, The following Component Units are included in the reporting
entity because the primary government is fmancially accountable and is able to impose its will on the
organization. A primary government has the ability to impose its will if it can significantly influence
operations and/or activities of an organization.
City Transit Management Co., Inc. dba Citibns (Citibus) is a legally separate entity that operates a
City-owned transportation system. In 1998, the City renewed a five-year management agreement
with McDonald Transit Associates, Inc. to manage and operate Citibus. The City Council appoints
the seven-member Lubbock Public Transit Advisory Board, and approves the annual budget. The
City is responsible for funding deficits. Citibus is reported as a proprietary-type component unit.
Civic Lubbock. Inc. (Civic), a legally separate entity, was organized to foster and promote the
presentation of wholesome educational and cultural programs, attractions and entertainments for the
general moral, intellectual, a physical improvement and welfare of the people of the· City of Lubbock
and surrounding area. The seven-member board is appointed by the City Council. City Council
approves the annual budget for Civic. Civic is reported as a proprietary-type component unit

The City's officials are also responsible for appointing the members of the boards of other
organiz.ations but the City's accountability for these organizations does not extend beyond making the
appointments.
The following are related organizations, which have not been included in the reporting entity:
Housing Authority of the City of Lubbock (Authority) is a legally separate entity. The Mayor
appoints the five-member board. It is the City Attorney's opinion that the Authority is independent of

its will on the entity. The City has no responsibility for debt issued by the Authority.
Lubbock Firemen's Retirement and Relief Fund (LFRRF) operates under provisions of the
Firemen's Relief and Retirement Laws of the State of Texas for purposes of providing retirement
benefits for the City's firefighters. The Mayor's designee, the Cash & Debt Manager, three
firefighters elected by members of the LFRRF and two at-large members elected by the Board,
governs its affairs. It is funded by contnbutions · by the firefighters and matched by contributions
from the City. As provided by enabling legislation, the City's responsibility to the LFRRF is limited
to matching monthly contributions made by the members. Title to assets is vested in the LFRRF and
not in the City. The State Firemen's Pension Commission is the governing body over the LFRRF; the
City does not significantly influence operations.
Lubbock Arts Alliance, Inc. (Alliance) is dedicated to the promotion and improvement of the arts
and sponsoring the annual Lubbock Arts Festival. Fiscal dependence by the Alliance on the City is
not significant to the City. City Council does not appoint the board. The City is not able to exert its
will on the Alliance.

Finance Corporation Act, to finance the cost of decent, safe, affordable residential housing. The
Mayor appoints the seven-member board. It is the opinion of the City Attorney that LHFC is

JOINT VENTURE
In May 1998, the City, along with three other cities in the West Texas area, entered into an agreement
with the West Texas Municipal Power Agency (WI'MPA) to purchase power generated by a co-
generation facility to be constructed with the proceeds obtained from the issuance of $28,910,000 of
revenue bonds issued by WTMP A. The contractual arrangement with WTMPA calls for each
participating city to guarantee payments of the WTMP A bond debt service in the event the net
revenues of the power sales contracts with the participating cities is not adequate to cover the debt
service. The City has an ongoing financial interest in WTMP A through the contractual arrangement
to purchase generated power and is also considered to have an ongoing financial responsibility due to
the manner in which the debt service is guaranteed as well as the responsibility for financing the
operations of the joint venture by purchasing the power generated by WTMP A which will benefit the
citizens of Lubbock.
Financial information for WTMPA can be obtained from the City of Lubbock, P.O. Box 2000,
Lubbock, Texas 79401, (Attention Managing Director of Financial Services).
B. GOVERNMENT-WIDE & FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-GASB # 34
The City has implemented GASB Statement No. 34 -Basic Financial Statements and Management's
Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments, GASB Statement No. 37 -Basic
Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis -For State and Local
Governments -Omnibus, GASB Statement No. 38 -Certain Financial Statements Note Disclosures,
and GASB Interpretation No. 6 -Recognition and Measurement of Certain Liabilities and
Expenditures in Governmental Fund Financial Statements. GASB Statement No. 34 represents
changes in the financial reporting model. Under the new model, specified by Statement No. 34, the
BFS include both Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements.
The Government-Wide Financial Statements (GWFS) (i.e., the Statement of Net Assets and the
Statement of Changes in Net Assets) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the
City and its blended component units as a whole. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity
has been removed from these statements. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by
taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which
rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support. Likewise, the City is reported separately
from certain legally separate component units for which the City is financially accountable. All
activities, both governmental and business type, are reported in the GWFS using the economic
resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, which includes long-term assets
and receivables as well as long-term debt and obligations. The GWFS focus more on the
sw;tainability of the City as an entity and the change in aggregate financial position resulting from the
activities of the fiscal period.
The Government-Wide Statement of Net Assets reports all financial and capital resources of the City,
excluding fiduciary funds. It is displayed in a format of assets less liabilities equals net assets, with
the assets and liabilities shown in order of their relative liquidity. Net assets are required to be
displayed in three components: I) invested in capital assets, net of related debt, 2) restricted and 3)
unrestricted. Invested in capital assets, net of related debt is capital assets net of accumulated
depreciation and reduced by outstanding balances of any bonds, mortgages, notes or other borrowings
that are attributable to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets. Restricted net
assets are those with constraints placed on their use by either: 1} externally imposed by creditors
(such as through debt covenants), grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments,
or 2) imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. All net assets not
otherwise classified as restricted, are shown as unrestricted. Generally, when both restricted and
unrestricted resources are available for use, the City will use restricted resources first then
unrestricted resources, as they are needed.

NOTE L SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
B. GOVERNMENT-WIDE & FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-GASB # 34 {CONTINUED)
Reservations or designations of net assets imposed by the City, whether by administrative policy or
legislative actions of the City Council, are not shown in the GWFS.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function
or segment are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with
a specific function or segment. Program revenues include I) charges to customers or applicants who
purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or
segment and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital
requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among
program revenues are reported instead as general revenues. The general revenues support the net costs
of the functions and segments not covered by program revenues.
Also part of the BFS are Fund Financial Statements (FFS) for governmental funds, proprietary funds,
and fiduciary funds, even though the latter are excluded from the GWFS. The focus of the FFS is on
major funds, as defined by GASB Statement No. 34. Although the new model sets forth minimum
criteria for detennination of major funds {a percentage of assets, liabilities, revenue, or
expenditures/expenses of fund category and of the governmental and enterprise funds combined), it
also gives governments the option of displaying other funds as major funds. The City has elected to
add some funds as major funds because of outstanding debt or community focus. Major individual
governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the
FFS. Other non-major funds are combined in a single column on the FPS.
C. MEASUREMENT FOCUS, BASIS OF ACCOUNTING. AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT
PRESETATION
The GWFS are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of
acco1mting, as are the proprietary FFS and fiduciary FFS. Revenues are recorded when earned and
expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows.
Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar
items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have
been met. Because the enterprise funds are combined into a single business-type activities colunm on
the GWFS, certain interfund activities between these funds may be eliminated in the consolidation for
the GWFS, but be included in the fund columns in the proprietary FFS.
Governmental FFS are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the
modified accrual basis of accounting. This is the traditional basis of accounting for governmental
funds. This presentation is deemed most appropriate to 1) demonstrate legal and covenant
compliance, 2) demonstrate the sources and uses of liquid resources, and 3) demonstrate how the
City's actual revenues and expenditures confonn to the annual budget Revenues are recognized as
soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to he available when they
are collectJ'ble within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current
period. For this purpose, the government considers revenues to be available if they are collected
within 45 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a
liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as
expenditures related to compensated absences and claims and judgments, are recorded only when
payment is due. Because the governmental FFS are presented on a different basis of accounting than
the GWFS, reconciliation is provided immediately following each fund statement. These
reconciliations explain the adjustments necessary to transform the FFS into the governmental
activities column of the GWFS.
Property taxes, franchise taxes, licenses, and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all
considered to be susceptible to accrual and have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal
period. Only the portion of special assessments receivable due within the current fiscal period is
considered to be susceptible to accrual as revenue of the current period. All other revenue items are
considered to be measurable and available only when the City receives cash.

NOTE I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
C. MEASUREMENT FOCUS, BASIS OF ACCOUNTING, AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT
PRESENTATION (CONTINUED}
The City uses funds to report its financial position and the results of its operations. Fund accounting
segregates funds according to their intended purpose and is designed to demonstrate legal compliance
and to aid financial management by segregating transactions related to certain governmental functions
or activities. A fund is a separate accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts, which
includes assets, liabilities, fund balance/net assets, revenues and expenditures/expenses.
Governmental funds are those through which most of the governmental functions of the City are
financed. The measurement focus is based upon determination of changes in financial position rather
than upon net income determination.
The City reports one major governmental fund:
The General Fund is the City's primary operating fund. It accounts for all fmancial resources of
the general government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
The City reports the following major proprietary funds:
The Electric Fund accounts for the activities of Lubbock Power & Light, the City-owned
electric production and distribution system.
The Water Fund accounts for the activities of the City's water system.
The Sewer Fund accounts for the activities of the City's sanitary sewer system.
The Solid Waste fund accounts for activities of the City's landfills and solid waste collection
system.
The Airport Fund accounts for the activities of Lubbock International Airport.
The Golf Fund accounts for the activities of Meadowbrook Golf Course.
The Stormwater Fund accounts for the activities of the stormwater utility, which provides
stormwater drainage for the City.
Additionally, the City reports the following fund types:
Special revenue funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources (other
than special assessments or major capital projects) that are legally restricted to expenditures for
specified purposes.
The Debt Service Fund is used to account for the accumulation of resources for, and the
payment of, general long-term obligation principal and interest.
Capital projects funds are used to account for fmancial resources to be used for the acquisition
or construction of major capital improvements ( other than those financed by proprietary funds).
Internal service funds are used to account for services provided to other departments, agencies
of the departments or to other governments on a cost reimbursement basis (i.e., fleet
maintenance, central warehouse, print shop, self-insurance, etc.).
As a general rule the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the GWFS. Exceptions to
this general rule are payments-in-lieu of taxes and other charges between the City's electric, water and
sewer functions and various other functions of the government. Elimination of these charges would
distort the direct costs and program revenues reported for the various functions concerned.

NOTE L SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
C. MEASUREMENT FOCUS, BASIS OF ACCOUNTING, AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT
PRESENTATION (CONTINUED)
Amounts reported as program revenues include l) charges to customers or applicants for goods,
services, or privileges provided, 2) operating grants and contributions, and 3) capital grants and
contributions, including special assessments. Internally dedicated resources are reported as general
revenues rather than as program revenues. Likewise, general revenues include all taxes.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating
revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods
in connection with a proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations. The principal operaring
revenues of the City's enterprise funds and of the City's internal service funds are charges to
customers for sales and services. Operating expenses for enterprise funds and internal service funds
include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All
revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and
expenses.
D. BUDGETARY ACCOUNTING
Annual budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles for all
govemrnental funds except special revenue funds and project funds, which adopt project-length
budgets. All annual appropriations lapse at the end of the fiscal year.
Annually, the City Manager submits to City Council a proposed operating budget for the upcoming
fiscal year. Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer cormnents, and the budget is legally
enacted through passage of an ordinance by the City Council. City Council action is required for the
approval of a supplemental appropriation.
All budget amounts presented in the accompanying supplementary information reflect the original
budget and the amended budget (which have been adjusted for legally authorized revisions of the
annual budgets during the year).
Budgetary control is maintained by department and by the following categories of expenditures:
personnel services, supplies, other charges, and capital outlay. All budget supplements must be
approved by the City Council Management may make administrative transfers and increases or
decreases in accounts within categories, as long as expenditures do not exceed budgeted
appropriations at the fund level. Each year, in accordance with State law, the City Council sets an ad
valorem tax levy for a sinking fund (General Obligation Debt Service) which, with cash and
investments in the fund, would be sufficient to pay all the bonded indebtedness and interest due in the
following fiscaJ year.
E. ENCUMBRANCES
At the end of the year, encumbrances for which goods and/or services have not been received are
canceled. At the beginning of the next year, management reviews all open encumbrances. During the
budget revision process, encumbrances may be re-established. On October 1, 2002, the General Fund
had no significant amounts of open encumbrances.

NOTE I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
F. ASSETS, LIABILITIES AND FUND BALANCE/NET ASSETS
Equity in Pooled Cash and Investments -The City pools the resources of the various funds in order
to facilitate the management of cash and enhance investment earnings. Records are maintained which
reflect each fund's equity in the pooled account. The City has adopted the provisions of GASB
Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and .Exiernal
Investmem Pools. As a governmental entity, other than an external investment pool, the City's
investments are stated at fair value, except for repurchase agreements with maturities, when
purchased, of one year or less. Fair value is based on quoted market prices as of the valuation date.
Cash Equivalents -Cash equivalents are defined as short-term highly liquid investments that are
readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have original maturities of three months or less
when purchased which present an insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest
rates.
Property Tax Receivable -The value of all real and business property located in the City is
assessed annually on January I in conformity with Subtitle E of the Texas Property Code. Property
taxes are levied on October I on those assessed values and the taxes are due on receipt of the tax bill.
On the following January 1, a tax lien attaches to property to secure the payment of all taxes,
penalties and interest ultimately imposed. The taxes are considered delinquent if not paid before
February 1. Therefore, at the City's fiscal year end, September 30, all property taxes receivable are
delinquent, but are secured by a tax lien. ·
The City records property taxes receivable upon levy and defers tax revenue until the taxes are
collected or available; for each fiscal year, the City recognizes revenue in the amount of taxes
collected during the year plus an estimate of taxes to be collected in the subsequent 45 days. The City
allocates property tax revenue between the General, certain Special Revenue and the Debt Service
funds based on tax rates adopted for the year of levy. The Lubbock Central Appraisal District
(District) assesses property values, bills, collects, and remits the property taxes to the City. The City
adjusts the allowance for uncollectible taxes and deferred tax revenue at year-end based upon
historical collection experience. Accordingly, at August 31 of each year, property taxes receivable
less the allowance for uncollectible taxes and deferred tax revenue is equivalent to the projected tax
collections from September 1 through October 15 of the same year. To write off property taxes
receivable, the City eliminates the receivable and reduces the allowance for uncollectible accounts.
Enterprise Fund Receivable -Within the Electric, Water, Sewer and Solid Waste Enterprise Funds,
services rendered but not billed as of the close of the fiscal year, are not considered significant.
Amounts billed are reflected as accounts receivable net of an allowance for uncollectibles.
Inventories -Inventories consist of expendable supplies held for consumption. Inventories are
valued at cost using the average cost method of valuation, and are accounted for using the
consumption method of accounting (i.e., inventory is expensed when used rather than when
purchased).
Prepaid Items -Prepaid items are accounted for under the consumption method.
Restricted Asset'S -Certain enterprise fund assets are restricted for construction, which has been
funded through long-term debt, therefore net assets have been restricted for these amounts. The
excess of other restricted assets over related liabilities are included as restricted net assets for capital
projects, rate stabilization, economic development and bond indentures. ·

F. ASSETS. LIABILITIES AND FUND BALANCE/NET ASSETS (CONTINUED)
Fixed Assets and Depreciation -Prior to GASB Statement No. 34, capital assets for governmental
funds were recorded in the General Fixed Asset Account Group and not depreciated. The new model
requires that all capital assets, whether owned by governmental activities or business-type activities,
be recorded and depreciated (unless the modified approach is used) in the GWFS. The City has
chosen not to apply the modified approach to any networks or subsystems of infrastructure assets. No
long-term assets or depreciation are shown in the governmental FFS.
Capital assets, including public domain infrastructure (e.g., streets, bridges, sidewalks and other
assets that are immovable and of value only to the City) are defmed as assets with an initial,
individual cost of more than $5,000 and an estimated useful life in excess of one year. Capital assets
are recorded at cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated assets are
recorded at the fair value on the date of donation.
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as the projects are constructed. The
cost ofnormal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend
the asset lives are not capitalized. Major improvements are capitalized and depreciated over the
remaining useful lives of the related capital assets.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives as follows:
Improvements
Buildings
Equipment
10-50 years
15-50 years
3-15 years
Interest Capitalization -The City does not capitalize interest cost. Interest capitalization would not
be significant to the BFS.
Advances to Other Funds -Amounts owed to one fund by another which are not due within one year
are recorded as advances to other funds.
G. RISK MANAGEMENT
The Risk Management Fund was established to account for liability claims, worker's compensation
claims, and premiums for property coverage. The Risk Management Fund generates its revenue
through charges to other departments, which are based on costs.
In April 1999, the City purchased worker's compensation coverage, with no deductible, from a third
party. Prior to April 1999 the City was self insured for worker's compensation claims. Any claims
outstanding prior to April 1999 continue to be the responsibility of the City.
The City's self insurance liability program is on a cash flow basis, which means that the servicing
contractor processes, adjusts and pays claims from a deposit provided by the City. The City accounts
for the liability program by charging premiums based upon losses, administrative fees and reserve
requirements. In order to control the risks associated with liability claims, the City purchased excess
liability coverage in September 1999. The policy has a $10 million annual aggregate limit and is
subject to a $250,000 deductible per claim.

NOTE L SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
G. RISK MANAGEMENT {CONTINUED}
For self-insured coverage, the Risk Management Fund establishes claim liabilities based on estimates
of the ultimate cost of claims (including future claim adjustment expenses) that have been reported
but not settled, and of claims that have been incurred but not reported. The length of time for which
such costs must be estimated varies depending on the coverage involved. Because actual claim costs
depend on such complex factors as inflation, changes in doctrines of legal liability, and damage
awards, the process used in computing claim liabilities does not necessarily result in an exact amount,
particularly for liability coverage. Claim liabilities are recomputed periodically using a variety of
actuarial and statistical techniques to produce current estimates that reflect recent settlements, claim
frequency, and other economic and social factors. Adjustments to claim liabilities are charged or
credited to expense in the period in which they are incurred.
Additionally, property and boiler coverage is accounted for in the Risk Management Fund. The
property insurance policy was purchased from an outside insurance carrier. The policy has a $250,000
deductible per occurrence, and the boiler coverage insurance deductible is up to $150,000 dependent
upon the unit. Premiums are charged to funds based upon estimated premiums for the upcoming year.
Other small insurance policies, such as surety bond coverage and miscellaneous floaters, are
accounted for in the Risk Management Fund. Funds are charged expenditures based on premium
amounts and administrative charges. The City has had no significant reductions in insurance
coverage during the year. Settlements in the current year and preceding two years have not exceeded
insurance coverage. The City accounts for all insurance activity in Internal Service Funds.
H. HEALTH INSURANCE
The City provides medical and dental insurance for all full-time employees. Revenues for the health
insurance premiums are generated from each cost center based upon the number of active employees.
Premium costs are determined by the health insurance vendor based on 3 years of claims history.
The City also provides basic term life insurance in the amount of SI 0,000 and Long Term Disability
for all full-time City employees. Revenue for the life insurance premiums is also generated from each
cost center based upon the number of active employees. Long Term Disability premiums are a rate
per $100 of annual salary.
Full-time employees may elect to purchase medical, dental, and life insurance coverage on eligfble
dependents. Employees also have the option to participate in several voluntary insurance plans such
as vision insurance, a cancer income policy, voluntary life, and personal accident insurance. Each of
these insurance plans is employee funded.
Retiring City of Lubbock employees may elect to retain medical insurance and reduced amounts of
life insurance on themselves and eligible dependents at their expense.
I. REVENUES, EXPENSES AND EXPENDITURES
Interest Income on pooled cash and investments is allocated monthly based on the percentage of a
fund's six-month rolling average monthly balance in pooled cash and investments to the total citywide
six-month rolling average monthly balance in pooled cash and investments, except for certain
Fiduciary Funds, certain Special Revenue Funds, Governmental Capital Project Funds, and certain
Internal Service Funds. The interest income on pooled cash and investments of these funds is
reported in the General Fund or the Debt Service Fund.

I. REVENUES, EXPENSES AND EXPENDITURES (CONTINUED}
Sales Tax Revenue for the City results from an allocation of 1.125% of the total sales tax levy of
7.875%, which is collected by the State of Texas and remitted to the City monthly. The tax is
collected by the vendor, and is required to be remitted to the State by the 20th of the month following
collection. The tax is then paid to the City by the 10th of the next month. On January 21, 1995,
voters approved a 1/8-cent increase in sales tax to reduce the property tax rate which went into effect
October 1, 1995. The 60-day availability period provides for full accrual of sales taxes.
Grant Revenue from federal and state grants is recognized to the extent that the related expenditure
has been incurred and reimbursement received or requested.
Interfund Transactions or quasi-external transactions are accounted for as revenues, expenditures or
expenses. Transactions that constitute reimbursements to a fund for expenditures/expenses initially
made from that fund that are properly applicable to another fund, are recorded as
expenditures/expenses in the reimbursing fund and as reductions of expenditures/expenses in the fund
that is reimbursed. In addition, transfers are made between funds to shift resources from a fund
legally authorized to receive revenue to a fund authorized to expend the revenue,
Compensated Absences consists of vacation leave and sick leave. Vacation leave of 10-20 days is
granted to all regular employees dependent upon the date employed, years of service, and civil service
status. Currently, up to 40 hours of vacation leave may be "carried over" to the next calendar year.
The City is obligated to make payment upon retirement or termination for any available, unused
vacation leave.
Sick leave for employees is accrued at 1 ¼ days per month with a maximum accrual status of 200
days. After 15 years of continuous full time services for non-civil service personnel, vested sick leave
is paid on retirement or tennination at the current hourly rate for up to 90 days. Upon retirement or
tennination, Civil Service Personnel {Police) are paid for up to 90 days accrued sick leave after one
year of employment Civil Service Personnel (Firefighters) are paid for up to 135 days of accrued
sick leave upon retirement or termination. Toe Texas Civil Service laws dictate certain benefits and
personnel policies above and beyond those policies of the City.
The liability for the accumulated vacation and sick leave is recorded in the GWFS for governmental
fund employees and in the FFS for proprietary fund employees .

A. NET ASSET/FUND BALANCE DEFICITS
The deficit ofS37l,847 in the General Capital Projects Fund is due to timing differences of incurring
capital outlay expenditures for an internally financed project. Over the tenn of the project, transfers
in from Special Revenue Funds will eliminate the deficit.
The deficit of $182,395 in the Library Special Revenue Fund is the result of a timing difference
between expenditures incurred and the filing of requests for reimbursements. These funds have not
been accrued, as certain reimbursement amounts are not measurable at September 30, 2002, which is
consistent with the revenue recognition required by the modified accrual basis of accounting.
The deficit of .'&2,406,326 in the Community Development Special Revenue Fund is the result of
timing differences between expenditures incurred and the filing ofrequests for reimbursements. These
funds have not been accrued, as certain reimbursement amounts are not available at September 30,

The deficit of $18,937 in the Tourism Reserve Special Revenue Fund results from not recovering
actual costs thru hotel tax transfers. The transfers were reduced this fiscal year to fund a new special
projects fund. Management is evaluating hotel tax transfers in order to recover actual costs and the
fund balance deficit
The deficit in the Golf Enterprise Fund of $1,909,524 is the result of placing itself in a more
competitive position through non-capital course equipment improvements. On October 13, 1994, the
City contracted with Fore Star Golf, Inc. for management services to be provided for the golf course
operations. The management agreement is effective through December 31, 2014. Over the term of

C. DEFERRED CHARGES
The total deferred charges of $6,641,639 in the Electric Enterprise Fund, includes $3,611,111 that
represents an advertising contract with the United Spirit Arena. The advertising (and amortization)
began with the opening of the sports arena in fiscal 2000 and will continue for 30 years.
The deferred charges also include an amount of$1,643,133 at September 30, 2002, which represents
prepayments for a contract for future delivery of natural gas as contracted for by the City. In 19 88, a
contract was entered into for the purchase of proven and unproven reserves, totaling 2,000,000
MMBTU at $1.56 per MMBTU with an option, which the City has exercised, to purchase an
additional 2,000,000 MMBTU at the same price. Quantities in excess of the first 4,000,000 MMBTU
can then be purchased at market value. During 1988, proven reserves of 338,000 MMBTU were
purchased at the $1.56 rate. The remaining reserves are being purchased as proven. One-half the
rate, or $.78 per MMBTU, is paid upon proven determination of the reserves and the balance is to be
paid upon delivery. The prepayments are to be expensed as the gas is taken until the prepaid units of
gas have been consumed. At September 30, 2002 and 2001, 1,317,934 MMBTUhad been delivered,
and reir.ainingproven reserves at September 30, 2002 and 2001 were2,104,273 MMBTU.
The remaining deferred charges of $1;387,395 represent infrastructure, prepaid postage and other
economic development costs being amortized over their useful life.

Each qualified employee is included in one of two retirement plans in which the City of Lubbock
participates. These are the Texas Municipal Retirement System {TMRS) and the Lubbock Firemen's
Relief and Retirement Fund (LFRRF). The City does not maintain the accounting records, hold the
investments or administer either fund.
Summary of significant data for each retirement plan follows:
TEXAS MUNICIPAL RETIREME1''T SYSTEM (TMRS)
Plan Description
The City provides pension benefits for all of its full-time employees (with the exception of
firefighters) through a non-traditional,joint contributory, hybrid defined benefit plan in the state-wide
TMRS, one of758 administered by TMRS, an agent multiple-employer public employee retirement
system.

NOTE ill. DETAIL NOTES ON ALL ACTIVITIES AND FUNDS
E. RETIREMENT PLANS (CONTINUED)
Benefits depend upon the sum of the employee's contributions to the plan, with interest, and the City-
financed monetary credits, with interest. At the date the plan began, the City granted monetary credits
for service rendered before the plan began of a theoretical amount equal to two times what would
have been contributed by the employee, with interest, prior to establishment of the plan. Monetary
credits for service since the plan began are a percent (100%, 150%, or 200%) of the employee's
accumulated contributions. In addition, the City can grant, as often as annually, another type of
monetary credit referred to as an updated service credit which is a theoretical amount which, when
added to the employee's accumulated contributions and the monetary credits for service since the plan
began, would be the total monetary credits and employee contributions accumulated with interest if
the current employee contribution rate and City matching percent had always been in existence and if
the employee's salary had always been the average of his salary in the last three years that are one year
before the effective date. At retirement, the benefit is calculated as if the sum of the employee's
accumulated contributions with interest and the employer-financed monetary credits with interest
were used to purchase an annuity.
Members can retire at ages 60 and above with 5 or more years of service or with 25 years of service
regardless of age. Ai; of January 2002, a member is vested after 5 years. During 2001, legislation
was enacted that changed the vesting period from 10 years to 5 years. The plan provisions are
adopted by the governing body of the City, within the options available in the state statutes governing
TMRS and within the actuarial constraints also in the statutes.
Contributions
The contribution rate for the employees is 7% and the City matching ratio is currently 2 to 1, both as
adopted by the governing body of the City. Under the state law governing TMRS, the actuary
annually determines the City contribution rate. This rate consists of the normal cost contribution rate
and the prior service contribution rate, both of which are calculated to be a level percent of payroll
from year to year. The normal cost contribution rate finances the currently accruing monetary credits
due to the City matching percent, which are the obligation of the City as of an employee's retirement
date, not at the time the employee's contributions are made. The normal cost contribution rate is the
actuarially determined percent of payroll necessary to satisfy the obligation of the City to each
employee at the time his/her retirement becomes effective. The prior service contribution rate
amortizes the unfunded (overfunded) actuarial liability (asset) over the remainder of the plan's 25-
year amortization period. The unit credit actuarial cost method is used for determining the City
contribution rate. Both the employees and the City make contributions monthly. Since the City
needs to know its contribution rate in advance for budgetary purposes, there is a one-year delay
between the actuarial valuation that is the basis for the rate and the calendar year when the rate goes
into effect (i.e., the December 31, 2000 valuation is effective forrates beginning January 2002).

LUBBOCK FIREFIGHTER'S RELIEF AND RETIREMENT FUND (LFRRF)
Plan Description
The Board of Trustees of the LFRRF is the administrator of a single-employer defined benefit
pension plan. This pension fund is a trust fund. It is reported by the City as a related organization and
is not considered to be a part of the City financial reporting entity. Firefighters in the Lubbock Fire
Department are covered by the LFRRF.
The LFRRF provides service retirement, death, disability and withdrawal benefits. These benefits
vest after 20 years of credited service. Employees may retire at age 50 with 20 years of service. A
reduced early service retirement benefit is provided for employees who terminate employment with
20 or more yean; of service. A partially vested benefit is provided for firefighters who terminate
employment with at least 10 but less than 20 years of service. The LFRRF Plan Effective December
1, 2001 provides a monthly normal service retirement benefit, payable in a Joint and Two-Thirds to
Spouse form of annuity, equal to 70.02% of Final 48-Month Average Salary Plus $335.0S per month
for each year of service in excess of 20 years.

E. RETIREMENT PLANS (CONTINUED)
A firefighter has the option to participate in a Retroactive Deferred Retirement Option Plan (RETRO
DROP) which will provide a lump sum benefit and a reduced annuity upon tennination of
employment. Firefighters must be at least 51 with 21 years of service at the selected "RETRO DROP
benefit calculation date" (which is prior to date of employment temrination). Early RETRO DROP
with benefit reductions is available at age 50 with 20 years of service for the selected "early RETRO
DROP benefit calculation date". A Partial Lump Sum option is also available where a reduced
monthly benefit is determined based on an elected lump sum amount such that the combined present
value of the benefits under the option is actuarially equivalent to that of the normal form of the
monthly benefit. Optional fonns are also available at varying levels of surviving spouse benefits
instead of the standard two-thirds form.
There is no provision for automatic postretirement benefit increases. The fund has the authority to
provide, and has periodically in the past provided for, ad hoc postretirement benefit increases. The
benefit provisions of this plan are authorized by the Texas Local Fire Fighter's Retirement Act
(TLFFRA). TLFFRA provides the authority and procedure to amend benefit provisions.
Contributions Required and Contributions Made
The contribution provisions of this plan are authorized by TLFFRA. TLFFRA provides the authority
and procedure to change the amount of contributions determined as a percentage of pay by each
firefighter and a percentage of payroll by the City.
State law requires that each plan of benefits adopted by the fund must be approved by an eligiole
actuary. The actuary certifies that the contribution commitment by the firefighters and the City
provides an adequate financing arrangement Using the entry age actuarial cost method LFRRF' s
normal cost contribution rate is detemrined as a percentage of payroll. The excess of the total
contribution rate over the normal cost contribution rate is used to amortize LFRRF's unfunded
actuarial accrued liability (UAAL), if any, and the number of years needed to amortize LFRRFs
unfunded actuarial liability, if any, is determined using a level percentage of payroll method.
When there is a negative UAAL, the actuarially required contribution rate for compliance with GASB
27 is determined by amortizing the negative UAAL over 30 years using a level percentage of payroll
method. This will be the case for 2001 and 2002 (calendar years) based on the most recent results of
the December 31, 2000 valuation.
The costs of administering the plan are financed from the trust.
LFRRF's funding policy requires contributions equal to 11 % of pay by the firefighters. Contributions
by the City are based on a formula which causes the City's contrilxition rate to fluctuate from year to
year. The December 31, 2000 actuarial valuation (most recent) assumes that the City's contributions
will average 15% of payroll in the future.
The plan of benefits most recently adopted effective December 1, 2001 was adopted cautiously,
allowing for future unforeseen contingencies in light of the unsettled investment environment that
existed in the fall of 2001 when various plan amendments were being studied and considered.
Therefore, even though the actual contributions for the 2001 and 2002 plan years (calendar years) are
somewhat greater than the Annual Required Contributions defined by GASB 27, the actuary certified
the most recent plan of benefits assuming that the present financing arrangement would continue and
would be necessary for an adequate financing arrangement for the long-term future.

Annual Pension Cost
The Annual Required Contributions {ARC), the Annual Pension Cost (APC) and the Net Pension
Obligation (NPO) are developed in such a manner to satisfy the parameters of GASB Statement No.
27. The required contrfbutions for the period prior to January 1, 2001 are based on the actuarial
valuation as of December 31, 1998. The required contributions for the period beginning January 1,
2001 are based on the actuarial valuation as of December 31, 2000 and reflect the December 1, 2001
plan provisions. The ARC and the APC for the year ended September 30, 2002 was $1,379,564 and
the actual City contributions (ARC) made for the year was $2,040,255 resultfng in an NPO of
${660,692).
The entry age actuarial cost method was used, with the nonnal cost calculated as a level percentage of
payroll. The actuarial value of assets was determined based on a five-year smoothed fafr-market
value of assets. The actuarial assumptions fncluded an investment return assumption of 8.5 % per
year (net of administrative expenses), projected salary increases includfng promotion and longevity
averaging 6.5% per year over a 25 year career, and no postretirement cost-of-living adjustments. An
fnflation assumption of 4.5% per year is included in the investment return and salary increase
assumptions. AB of the December 31, 2000 actuarial valuation date and based on plan provisions
effective December 1, 2001, the fund's assets exceeded the actuarial accrued liability resulting in a
negative unfunded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL). The negative UAAL is amortized over 30
years using an open, level percentage of payroll method, assuming that the payroll will increase 4.5%
per year.

F. DEFERREDCOMPENSATION
The City offers its employees three deferred compensation plans in accordance with Internal Revenue
Code ("IRC") Section 457. The plans, available to all City employees, permit them to defer a portion
of their salary until future years. The deferred compensation is not available to employees until
termination, retirement, death or unforeseeable emergency. The plans' assets are held in trust for the
exclusive benefits of the participants and their beneficiaries.
The City does not provide administrative services or have any fiduciary responsibilities in regards to
the City-sponsored deferred compensation plans. Therefore they are not presented in the BFS.

Canadian River Municipal Water Authority
The Canadian River Municipal Water Authority (CRMW A) is a Conservation and Reclamation
District established by the Texas Legislature to construct a dam, water reservoir and aqueduct system
for the purpose of supplying water to surrounding cities. The District was created in 1953 and
comprises eleven cities, including the City. The budget, financing and operations of the District are
governed by a Board of Directors selected by the governing bodies of each of the member cities, each
city being entitled to one or two members dependent upon population. At September 30, 2002, the
Board was comprised of 18 members, two of which represented the City.
The City contracted with the CRMW A to reimburse it for a portion of the cost of the Canadian River
Dam and aqueduct system in exchange for surface water. Accordingly, prior to fiscal 1999, such
payments were made solely out of water system revenues and were not general obligations of the
City. The City's pro rata share of annual fixed !llld variable operating and reserve assessments are
recorded as an expense of obtaining surface water.

Canadian River Municipal Water Authority (Continued)
Prior to fiscal 1999, the long-tenn debt was owed to the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation for the cost of
Construction of the facility, which was completed in 1969. The City's allocation of project cost was
$32,905,862. During the year ended September 30, 1999, bonds in the principal amount of
$12,300,000 were issued to payoff the construction obligation owed to the U.S. Bureau of
Reclamationvia CRMWA in the amount of $20,809,067. The difference of $8,509,067 was a
discount in the remaining principal provided by the U.S. Bureau ofReclamation to the member cities.
This discount has been recorded as a deferred gain on refunding and is being amortized over the life
of the refunding bonds. At September 30, 2002, $7,254,528 remains unamortized. The annual
principal and interest payments are included in the disclosures for other. City related long-term debt.
The above cost for the rights are recorded as other assets and are being amortized over 85 years. The
cost and debt are recorded in the Water Enterprise Fund.
Brazos River Authority -Lake Alan Henry
During 1989, the City entered into an agreement with the Brazos River Authority (BRA) for the
construction, maintenance and operation of the faciJities known as Lake Alan Henry. Toe BRA,
which is authorized by the State of Texas to provide for the conservation and development of surface
waters in the Brazos River Basin, has issued bonds for the construction of the dam and lake facilities
on the South Fork of the Double Mountains Fork of the Brazos River. Total costs are expected to
exceed $120 tm1lion.
Toe agreement obligates the City to provide revenues to BRA in amounts sufficient to cover all
maintenance and operating costs, management fees to the authority, as well as funds sufficient to pay
all capital costs associated with construction. Toe City will receive surface water for the payments to
BRA. Approximately $294,325 was paid to the BRA for maintenance and operating costs in fiscal
year 2002.
The BRA issued $16,970,000 in revenue bonds in 1989 and $39,685,000 in revenue bonds in 1991.
These bonds were refunded July 1995. Disclosure of the refunding can be found in Note m. K.
Construction of the dam and lake facilities began in 1989. The City is obligated to provide sufficient
funds over the remaining life of the bonds to service the debt requirement The financial activity,
along with the related obligation, is accounted for in the Water Enterprise Fund.
IL OTHER ENTERPRISE FUND ACTIVITIES
Enterprise Fund Transfers
Transfers to the General Fund from the Electric, Water, Solid Waste, and Sewer Enterprise Funds, in
the opinion of management, exceed the amount that would have been paid to the City if these funds
were private sector companies engaged in the same enterprises. In addition to the amount transferred
in excess of private sector taxes, there is also an amount transferred to compensate the General Fund
for shared services and indirect costs.

L. LANDFILL CLOSURE AND POSTCLOSURE CARE COST
State and federal laws and regulations require the City to place foul covers on its landfill sites
when they stop accepting waste and to perform certain maintenance and monitoring functions
at the sites for thirty years after closure. Although closure and postclosure care costs will be
paid only near or after the date that the landfills stop accepting waste, the Gty reports a portion
of these closure and postclosure costs as operating expenses ( and recognizing a corresponding
liabilit}? in each period based on landfill capacity used as of each balance sheet date.
The $2,552,923 included in landfill closure and postclosure care liability at September 30, 2002,
represents the cumulative amount expensed by the City to date for its two landfills that are
registered under TCEQ pennit numbers 69 (Landfill 69) and 2252 {Landfill 2252), less
amounts that have been recognized. Over 90 percent of the estimated capacity of Landfill 69
has been used to date, with $751,182 remaining to be recognized over the remaining closure
period, which is estimated at 5 years. Approximately 15 percent of the estimated capacity of
Landfill 2252 has been used to date, with $22,448,347 remaining to be recognized over the
remaining closure period, which is estimated at over 80 years. Postclosure care costs are based
on prior estimates and have been adjusted for inflation. Actual costs may be different due to
inflation, deflation, changes in technology, or changes in regulations.
The City accounts for its Municipal Solid Waste Landfill in accordance with GASB Statement
No. 18; however, in prior years the amount of closure costs used in the calculation of current
cost for Landfill 69 was incorrect resulting in overstatement of the liability for closure and
postclosure care costs. In order to properly reflect the estimated total current eost of the
landfill's closure and postclosure care, a reduction in the liability of approximately $3,600,000
has been reco.rded, with a corresponding increase in beginning-of-year net assets.
The City is required by state and federal laws and regulations to provide assurance that
fi.nancial. resources will be available to provide for closure, postclosure care, and remediation or
containment of environmental hazards at its landfill. The City is in compliance with these
requirements and has chosen the Local Government Financial Test mechanism for providing
this assurance. The City expects to finance costs through normal operations.
NOTE IV. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
A. FEDERAL GRANTS
In the normal course of operations, the Gty receives grant funds from various Federal and state agencies.
The gr.mt progratm are subject to audits by agents of the granting authority to ensure compliance with
conditions precedent to the granting of funds. Any liability for reimbursement which may arise as the
result of audits of gr.mts is not believed to be material.
B. LITIGATION
The Qty is involved in lawsuits a.risiag in the normal course of business, including claims for property
damage, personal mju.ty and personnel practices, disputes over contract awards and property
condemnation proceedings, suits conteSting the legality of certain taxes and public safety practices. In the
opinion of management, the ultimate outcome of these lawsuits will not have a materially adverse effect
on the aty's financial position 3S of September 30, 2002.

tanks and historical fire training sites. The potential exposure is not readily determinable as of September

the Gty's fmancial position.
D. WEST TEXAS MUNICIPAL POWER AGENCY
In fiscal 1998, the West Texas Municipal Power Agency (WIMP.A) issued $28,910,000 of WIMPA
Revenue Bonds, Series 1998 maturing through February of 2018. These bonds are secured by the net
revenues of certain power sales contracts with participating cities of which the Clty is one. In the event
the net revenues of the power sales contracts are not sufficient to cover the debt service of the bonds, the
parricipat.ing cities are required under a debt service guarantee prov:won of the agreement, to provide
funds sufficient to cover any debt service deficit to the extent of their respective participation percentages
for the preceding 12 momhs. The Gtys percentage share in this agreement for the coming year
approximates 85.21 %. At, September 30, 2002, the City had current accounts receivable of approximately
$3.7 million and long-term accoums receivable of $4.0 million from WIMPA During the year ended
September 30, 2002, the Oty reported expenses of approximately$37.1 million for power purchased from
WI'MPA and approximately $2.1 million in contract service revenue. At, September 30, 2002, the City
owed WIMP A approximately $5.4 million for purchased power.

IN REGARD to the authorization and issuance of the "City of Lubbock, Texas, General Obligation
Bonds, Series 2003" (the "Bonds"), dated July 15, 2003 (the "Bond Date"), in the principal amount of
$11,855,000, we have examined into the legality and validity of the issuance thereof by the City of
Lubbock, Texas (the "City"), which Bonds are issuable in fully registered form only, in denominations of
$5,000 or any integral multiple thereof (within a maturity) and mature annually on February 15 in each of
the years 2004 through 2023, unless redeemed prior to maturity in accordance with applicable
redemption provisions stated in the ordinance authorizing the issuance of the Bonds (the "Ordinance").
The Bonds bear interest on the unpaid principal amount from the Bond Date at the rates per annum
stated in the Ordinance, and such interest is payable on February 15 and August 15 in each year,
commencing February 15, 2004, to the registered owners shown on the registration books of the Paying
Age of/Registrar on the Record Date ( stated on the face of the Bonds).
WE HAVE SERVED as Bond Counsel solely to pass upon the legality and validity of the issuance
of the Bonds under the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas, and the exclusion of the interest on
the Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes, and for no other purpose. We have not
been requested to investigate or verify, and we neither expressly nor by implication render herein any
opinion concerning, the financial condition or capabilities of the City, the disclosure of any financial or
statistical information or data pertaining to the City and used in the sale of the Bonds, or the sufficiency of
the security for or the value or marketability of the Bonds. In rendering the opinions herein we have
examined and rely upon (i) original or certified copies of the proceedings of the City in connection with the
issuance of the Bonds, including the Ordinance, (ii) certifications and opinions of officers of the City
relating to the expected use and investment of proceeds of the sale of the Bonds and certain other funds
of the City and to certain other facts within the knowledge and control of the City, and (iii) such other
documentation, including an examination of the Bond executed delivered initially by the City (which we
found to be in due form and properly executed), and such matters of law as we deem relevant to the
matters discussed below. In such examinations, we have assumed the authenticity of all documents
submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original copies of all documents submitted to us as certified
copies and the accuracy of the statements and information contained in such certificates.
BASED ON OUR EXAMINATIONS, IT IS OUR OPINION that, under the applicable law of the
United States of America and the State of Texas In force and effect on the date hereof:
1. The Bonds have been duly authorized by the City and, when issued in
compliance with the provisions of the Ordinance are valid, legally binding, and
enforceable obligations of the City, payable from the proceeds of an ad valorem tax
levied, within the limitations prescribed by law, upon all taxable property within the City,
except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be affected by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or other similar laws affecting creditors' rights or
the exercise of judicial discretion in accordance with general principles of equity.
2. Pursuant to section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended to the date hereof (the "Codep), and existing regulations, published rulings, and
court decisions thereunder, and assuming continuing compliance after the date hereof by
the City with the provisions of the Ordinance relating to sections 141 through 150 of the

Re: "City of Lubbock, Texas, General Obligation Bonds, Series 2003", dated July 15, 2003
section 61 of the Code, of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes, and such
interest will not be included in computing the alternative minimum taxable income of the
owners thereof who are individuals for federal income tax purposes. Interest on all
tax-exempt obligations, such as the Bonds, owned by a corporation (other than an "S"
corporation or a qualified mutual fund, real estate mortgage investment conduit, real
estate investment trust, or a financial asset securitization investment trust) will be
included in such corporation's adjusted current earnings for purposes of calculating the
alternative minimum taxable income of such corporation. A corporation's alternative
minimum taxable income is the basis on which the alternative minimum tax imposed by
section 55 of the Code is computed.
WE EXPRESS NO OTHER OPINION with respect to any other federal, state, or local tax
consequences under present law or any proposed legislation resulting from the receipt or accrual of
interest on, or the acquisition or disposition of, the Bonds. Ownership of tax-exempt obligations such as
the Bonds may result in collateral federal tax consequences to, among others, financial institutions, life
insurance companies, property and casualty insurance companies, certain foreign corporations doing
business in the United States, •s• corporations with subchapter "C" earnings and profits, owners of
interests in a financial asset securitization investment trust, individual recipients of Social Security or
Railroad Retirement benefits, individuals otherwise qualifying for the earned income tax credit, and ·
taxpayers who may be deemed to have incurred or continued indebtedness to purchase or carry, or who
have paid or incurred certain expenses allocable to, tax-exempt obligations.

K. Yield and Non purpose Investments.
1. The discount factor required to reduce the principal and interest to be paid on the
Obligations to a present value on the date hereof, compounding semiannually, equal to the
initial offering prices at which a substantial amount of each maturity of the Obligations was sold
to the public, is 4.69049%. In determining the initial offering price at which a substantial amount
of each maturity of the Obligations was sold to the public, the Issuer has relied on certificates
from the managing undeiwriters that purchased the Obligations.
2. No other obligations of the Issuer which are reasonably expected to be paid from
substantially the same source of funds as the Obligations were sold within 15 days from the
date the Obligations were sold.
3. Except as otheiwise provided in Section 148(f) of the Code, the Issuer will
account for proceeds of the Obligations separately from other funds of the Issuer and will
compute and pay to the United States Treasury the Rebate Amount due with respect to the
Obligations no less frequently than every five years, in the installments, to the place, in the
manner and accompanied by such forms or other information as is or may be required by
Section 148(f} of the Code and the regulations and rulings thereunder.
L. Qualified Guarantee.
1. The Issuer has paid on the date hereof, the sum of $250,000.00 (the "Insurance
Premium") has been paid from proceeds of sale of the Obligations to MBIA Insurance
Corporation (the "Guarantor") to insure the payment of principal · of and interest on the
Obligations.
2. The Guarantor is not exempt from federal income taxation and by issuing its
. insurance has caused the Obligations to be rated "AAA" by Standard & Poor's Corporation.
Neither the Guarantor nor any person related to the Guarantor within the meaning of section
144(a)(3) of the Code will use 10 percent or more of the proceeds of the Obligations.
45340376.1
-11-
-
3. Under the insurance contract, the Guarantor is unconditionally and with full
recourse obligated to pay all or a portion of the principal of or interest on the Obligations.
4. The Issuer reasonably expects that the Guarantor will not be called upon to make
a payment of principal of or interest on the Obligations. The Guarantor is entitled to be
immediately and fully reimbursed for any payment of principal of or interest on the Obligations.
5. The Insurance Premium paid to the Guarantor represents a payment solely for
the transfer of credit risk for the payment of principal of and interest on the Obligations and not
for any other direct or indirect services other than the transfer of credit risk. The Insurance
Premium does not exceed a reasonable, arm's length charge for the transfer of such credit risk.
7. The Insurance Premium has been allocated among each of the Obligations and
to computation periods in a manner that properly reflects the proportionate credit risk for which
the Guarantor has been compensated.
8. The Issuer has been advised by First Southwest Company, its financial advisors,
that the present value of the Insurance Premium is less than the present value of the interest
saved as a result of insuring the Obligations, using the yield on the Obligations as the discount
factor.
M. No Abusive Arbitrage Device.
1. In connection with the issuance of the Obligations, the Issuer has not employed
any action which has the effect of overburdening the market for tax-exempt obligations by
issuing more bonds, issuing bonds earlier, or allowing bonds to remain outstanding longer than
is reasonably necessary to accomplish the governmental purposes of the Obligations.
2. In connection with the issuance of the Obligations, the Issuer has not employed
any action which has the effect of enabling the Issuer to exploit the difference between tax-
exempt and taxable interest rates to gain a material financial advantage.

IN REGARD to the authorization and issuance of the "City of Lubbock, Texas, General Obligation
Bonds, Series 2003" (the "Bonds"), dated July 15, 2003 (the "Bond Date"), in the principal amount of
$11,855,000, we have examined into the legality and validity of the issuance thereof by the City of
Lubbock, Texas (the "City"), which Bonds are issuable in fully registered form only, in denominations of
$5,000 or any integral multiple thereof (within a maturity) and mature annually on February 15 in each of
the years 2004 through 2015, 2017 and 2019 through 2023, unless redeemed prior to maturity in
accordance with applicable redemption provisions stated in the ordinance authorizing the issuance of the
Bonds (the "Ordinance"). The Bonds bear interest on the unpaid principal amount from the Bond Date at
the rates per annum stated in the Ordinance, and such interest is payable on February 15 and August 15
in each year, commencing February 15, 2004, to the registered owners shown on the registration books
of the Paying Agent/Registrar on the Record Date (stated in the Bonds).
WE HAVE SERVED as Bond Counsel solely to pass upon the legality and validity of the issuance
of the Bonds under the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas, and the exclusion of the interest on
the Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes, and for no other purpose. We have not
been requested to investigate or verify, and we neither expressly nor by implication render herein any
opinion concerning, the financial condition or capabilities of the City, the disclosure of any financial or
statistical information or data pertaining to the City and used in the sale of the Bonds, or the sufficiency of
the security for or the value or marketability of the Bonds. In rendering the opinions herein we have
examined and rely upon (i) original or certified copies of the proceedings of the City in connection with the
issuance of the Bonds, including the Ordinance, (ii) certifications and opinions of officers of the City
relating to the expected use and investment of proceeds of the sale of the Bonds and certain other funds
of the City and to certain other facts within the knowledge and control of the City, and (iii) such other
documentation, including an examination of the Bond executed delivered initially by the City (which we
found to be in due form and properly executed), and such matters of law as we deem relevant to the
matters discussed below. In such examinations, we have assumed the authenticity of all documents
submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original copies of all documents submitted to us as certified
copies and the accuracy of the statements and information contained in such certificates.
BASED ON OUR EXAMINATIONS, IT IS OUR OPINION that, under the applicable law of the
United States of America and the State of Texas in force and effect on the date hereof:
1. The Bonds have been duly authorized by the City and, when issued in
compliance with the provisions of the Ordinance are valid, legally binding, and
enforceable obligations of the City, payable from the proceeds of an ad valorem tax
levied, within the limitations prescribed by law, upon all taxable property within the City,
except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be affected by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or other similar laws affecting creditors' rights or
the exercise of judicial discretion in accordance with general principles of equity.
2. Pursuant to section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended to the date hereof (the "Code"), and existing regulations, published rulings, and
court decisions thereunder, and assuming continuing compliance after the date hereof by
the City with the provisions of the Ordinance relating to sections 141 through 150 of the
Code, interest on the Bonds will be excludable from the gross income, as defined in
45325330. l

Page 2 of Legal Opinion of Fulbright & Jaworski L.L.P.
Re: "City of Lubbock, Texas, General Obligation Bonds, Series 2003", dated July 15, 2003
section 61 of the Code, of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes, and such
interest will not be included in computing the alternative minimum taxable income of the
owners thereof who are individuals for federal income tax purposes. Interest on all
tax-exempt obligations, such as the Bonds, owned by a corporation (other than an "S"
corporation or a qualified mutual fund, real estate mortgage investment conduit, real
estate investment trust, or a financial asset securitization investment trust) will be
included in such corporation's adjusted current earnings for purposes of calculating the
alternative minimum taxable income of such corporation. A corporation's alternative
minimum taxable income is the basis on which the alternative minimum tax imposed by
section 55 of the Code is computed.
WE EXPRESS NO OTHER OPINION with respect to any other federal, state, or local tax
consequences under present law or any proposed legislation resulting from the receipt or accrual of
interest on, or the acquisition or disposition of, the Bonds. Ownership of tax-exempt obligations such as
the Bonds may result in collateral federal tax consequences to, among others, financial institutions, life
insurance companies, property and casualty insurance companies, certain foreign corporations doing
business in the United States, "S" corporations with subchapter "C" earnings and profits, owners of
interests in a financial asset securitization investment trust, individual recipients of Social Security or
Railroad Retirement benefits, individuals otherwise qualifying for the earned income tax credit, and
taxpayers who may be deemed to have incurred or continued indebtedness to purchase or carry, or who
have paid or incurred certain expenses allocable to, tax-exempt obligations.
OUR OPINIONS ARE BASED on existing law, which is subject to change. Such opinions are
further based on our knowledge of facts as of the date hereof. We assume no duty to update or
supplement our opinions to reflect any facts or circumstances that may thereafter come to our attention or
to reflect any changes in any law that may thereafter occur or become effective. Moreover, our opinions
are not a guarantee of result and are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service; rather, such opinions
represent our legal judgment based upon our review of existing law that we deem relevant to such
opinions and in reliance upon the representations and covenants referenced above.

Re: $11,855,000 "City of Lubbock, Texas, General Obligation Bonds, Series 2003", dated July 15, 2003
Ladies and Gentlemen:
In reference to the issuance and sale of the above described Bonds ( the "Bonds") and our serving as Bond
Counsel for the City of Lubbock, Texas (the "City"), we prepared the ordinance (the "Ordinance") authorizing the
issuance of the Bonds, adopted by the City Council of the City on July 24, 2003, which also approved and authorized
the distribution of the final Official Statement, dated July 24, 2003 (the "Official Statement") relating to the Bonds and
approved and authorized the execution of the Purchase Contract, dated July 24, 2003 with Siebert, Brandford Shank
& Co., L.L.C., RBC Dain Rauscher Inc., William R. Hough & Co. and Morgan Keegan & Company, Inc., as
undeiwriters of the Bonds.
We have examined such documents and satisfied ourselves as to such matters as we have deemed
necessary in order to enable us to express the opinions set forth below.
A. The Purchase Contract has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the City and
(assuming due authorization by the Undeiwriters) constitutes a binding and enforceable agreement of the City in
accordance with its terms.
B. We have not verified and are not passing upon, and do not assume any responsibility for, the
accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Official Statement, but we have reviewed the
information contained under the captions or subcaptions "The Bonds" (except under the subcaptions "Book Entry
Only System" and "Sources and Uses of Bond Proceeds"), 'Tax Matters", "Continuing Disclosure of Information"
(except under the subcaption "Compliance with Prior Undertakings"), "Other Information-Legal Matters", and "Other
Information-Legal Investments and Eligibility to Secure Public Funds in Texas", and we are of the opinion that the
information relating to the Bonds and legal matters contained in such captions and subcaptions is an accurate and
fair description of the laws and legal issues addressed therein and, with respect to the Bonds, such information
conforms to the Ordinance.
C. The Bonds are exempt from registration pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
the Ordinance is exempt from qualification as an indenture pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.
In reference to our opinion relating to the legality and validity of the Bonds and the interest thereon being
excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes, you may rely upon such opinion to the same extent
and as fully as if such opinion were addressed to you.
Very truly yours,

Re: $11,855,000 City of Lubbock, Texas General Obligation Bonds, Series 2003
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for you as the underwriters of the Bonds described above (the
"Bonds"), issued under and pursuant to an ordinance (the "Ordinance") of the City ofLubbock, Texas
(the "Issuer"), authorizing the issuance of the Bonds, which Bonds you are purchasing pursuant to
a Purchase Contract, dated July 24, 2003. All capitalized undefined terms used herein shall have the
meaning set forth in the Purchase Contract.
In connection with this opinion letter, we have considered such matters oflaw and off act, and
have relied upon such Bonds and other information furnished to us, as we have deemed appropriate
as a basis for our opinion set forth below. We are not expressing any opinion or views herein on the
authorization, issuance, delivery, validity of the Bonds and we have assumed, but not independently
verified, that the signatures on all documents and Bonds that we have examined are genuine.
Based on and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that, under existing laws, the
Bonds are not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act ofl933, as amended, and
the Ordinance is not required to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.
Because the primary purpose of our professional engagement as your counsel was not to
establish factual matters, and because of the wholly or partially nonlegal character of many of the
determinations involved in the preparation of the Official Statement dated July 24, 2003 (the "Official
Statement") and because the information in the Official Statement under the headings "BOOK-
ENTRY ONLY SYSTEM," "MUNICIPAL BOND INSURANCE," "TAX MATTERS,"
"CONTINUING DISCLOSURE -Compliance with Prior Undertakings" and Appendices A, B, and
C thereto were prepared by others who have been engaged to review or provide such information,
....
we are not passing on and do not assume any responsibility for, except as set forth in the last sentence
of this paragraph, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Official
Statement (including any appendices, schedules and exhibits thereto) and we make no representation
that we have independently verified the accuracy, completeness or fairness of such statements. In the
course of our review of the Official Statement, we had discussions with representatives of the City
regarding the contents of the Official Statement. In the course of our participation in the preparation
of the Official Statement as your counsel, we had discussions with representatives of the Issuer,
including its City Attorney, Bond Counsel and Financial Advisor, regarding the contents of the
Official Statement. In the course of such activities, no facts came to our attention that would lead
us to believe that the Official Statement ( except for the financial statements and other financial and
statistical data contained therein, the information set forth under the headings "BOOK-ENTRY
O1\l"'LY SYSTEM," "MUN1CIPAL BOND INSURANCE," "TAX MATTERS," 11CONTIN1JING
DISCLOSURE -Compliance with Prior Undertakings" and Appendices A, B and C thereto, as to
which we express no opinion), as of its date contained any untrue statement of a material fact or
omitted to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
This opinion letter may be relied upon by only you and only in connection with the transaction
to which reference is made above and may not be used or relied upon by any other person for any
purposes whatsoever without our prior written consent.
Respectfully,

aggregate principal amount of $11,855,000 (the "Bonds"), pursuant to the provisions of an

Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this opinion have the meanings assigned in the
Purchase Contract.
In my capacity as City Attorney to the City, I have reviewed such agreements,
documents, certificates, opinions, letters, and other papers as I have deemed necessary or
appropriate in rendering the opinions set forth below.
In making my review, I have assumed the authenticity of all documents and agreements

submitted to me as certified or photostatic copies, the authenticity of the originals of such latter
documents and agreements, and the accuracy of the statement contained in such documents.
Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications and exceptions hereinafter set

1. Based on reasonable inquiry made of the responsible City employees and public officials,
the City is not, to the best of my knowledge, in breach of or in default under any

2.
3.
applicable law or administrative regulation of the State of Texas or the United States, or
any applicable judgment or decree or any trust agreement, loan agreement, bond, note,
resolution, ordinance, agreement or other instrument to which the City is party or is
otherwise subject and, to the best of my knowledge after due inquiry, no event has
occurred and is continuing that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both,
would constitute such a default by the City under any of the foregoing; and the execution
and delivery of the Purchase Contract, the Bonds and the adoption of the Ordinance and
compliance with the provisions of each of such agreements or instruments does not
constitute a breach of or default under any applicable law or administrative regulation of
the State of Texas or the United States or any applicable judgment or decree or, to the
best of my knowledge, any trust agreement, loan agreement, bond, note, resolution,
ordinance, agreement or other instrument to which the City is a party or is otherwise
subject; and
Except as disclosed in the Official Statement, no litigation is pending, or, to my
knowledge, threatened, in any court in any way (a) challenging the titles of the Mayor or
any of the other members of the City Council to their respective offices; (b) seeking to
restrain or enjoin the issuance, sale or delivery of any of the Bonds, or the levy, collection
or application of the ad valorein taxes pledged or to be pledged to pay the principal of
and interest on the Bonds; ( c) contesting or affecting the validity or enforceability of the
Bonds, the Ordinance, or the Purchase Contract; ( d) contesting the powers of the City or
any authority for the issuance of the Bonds, or the adoption of the Ordinance; or (e) that
would have a material and adverse effect on the financial condition of the City.
I have reviewed the information in the Official Statement contained under the caption
"Other Information--Litigation" and such information in all material respects accurately
and fairly summarizes the matters described therein.
This opinion is furnished solely for your benefit and may be relied upon only by the

Dear Ms. Wilson:
Standard & Poor's has reviewed the rating on the above-referenced obligations. After such
review, we have changed the rating to "AAA" from '•AA-.. and changed the outlook to not
meaningful from stable. The rating reflects our assessment of the likelihood of repayment of
principal and interest based on the bond insurance policy your company is providing. Therefore,
rating adjustments may result from changes in the fina:ocial position of your company or from
alterations in the documents governing the issue.
The rating is not investment, financial, or other advice and you should not and cannot rely upon
the rating as such. The rating is based on information supplied to us by you but does not represent
an audit. We undertake no duty of due diligence or independent verification of any information.
The assignment of a rating does not create a :fiduciary relationship between us and you or between
us and other recipients of the rating. We have not cons~ted to and will not consent to being
named an "expert" under the applicable securities laws, including without limitation, Section 7 of
the Securities Act of 1933. The rating is not a .. market rating'•nor is it a recommendation to buy,
hold, or sell the obligations.
This letter constitutes Standard & Poor's permission to you to disseminate the above-assigned
rating to interested parties. Standard & Poor's reserves the right to inform its own clients,
subscribers, and the public of the rating ..
Standard & Poor's relies on the issuer and its counsel, accountants, and other experts for the
accuracy and completeness of the information submitted in connection with the rating. This rating
is based on financial information and documents we received prior to the issuance of this letter.
Standard & Poor's assumes that the documents you have provided to us are final. If any
subsequent changes were made in the final documents, you must notify us of such changes by
sending us the revised final documents with the changes clearly marked.
