to Certificates delivered in subsequent exchanges and transfers, all as authorized and provided

limitation as to principal amount but subject to any terms, conditions or restrictions as may be

of and the nature and extent of the tax levied for the payment of the Certificates; the nature and
extent of the limited pledge of the Net Revenues securing the payment of the Certificates; the
terms and conditions relating to the transfer or exchange of this Certificate; the conditions upon
which the Ordinance may be amended or supplemented with or without the consent of the
Holders; the rights, duties, and obligations of the City and the Paying Agent/Registrar; the terms
and provisions upon which the tax levy and the pledge of the Net Revenues and covenants
made in the Ordinance may be discharged at or prior to the maturity of this Certificate, and this
Certificate deemed to be no longer Outstanding thereunder; and for the other terms ant_
provisions contained therein. Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the
Ordinance.

transferred on the Security Register only upon its presentation and surrender at the Designated
Payment/Transfer Office of the Paying Agent/Registrar, with the Assignment hereon duly
endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Paying Agent/Registrar duly executed by, the registered owner hereof, or his duly authorized
agent. When a transfer on the Security Register occurs, one or more fully registered
Certificates of authorized denominations and of the same aggregate principal amount will be
issued by the Paying Agent/Registrar to the designated transferee or transferees.
The City and the Paying Agent/Registrar, and any agent of either, may treat the
registered owner hereof whose name appears on the Security Register (i) on the Record Date
as the owner entitled to payment of interest hereon, (ii) on the date of surrender of this
Certificate as the owner entitled to payment of principal hereof at its Stated Maturity or its
redemption, in whole or in part, and (iii) on any other date as the owner for all other purposes,
and neither the City nor the Paying Agent/Registrar, or any agent of either, shall be affected by
notice to the contrary. In the event of nonpayment of interest on a scheduled payment date

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 (which shall be 15 days after the
Special Record Date) shall be sent at least five (5) business days prior to the Special Record
Date by United States Mail, first class postage prepaid, to the address of each Holder appearing

Requirements to become due on Certificates prior to the

adding thereto the amount of Net Revenues of the System
appropriated and allocated to pay such Debt Service
Requirements prior to the Collection Date for the ad valorem taxes
to be levied.
(2) The amount of Net Revenues if any, appropriated V -

Collection Date for the taxes then to be levied and the Collection
Date for the taxes to be levied during the next succeeding
calendar year.

Requirements on the Certificates shall be the amount established in paragraph (3) above less
the sum total of the amounts established in paragraphs (1)and (2), after taking into
consideration delinquencies and costs of collecting such annual taxes.

and interest on the Certificates and Additional Certificates, if issued, as herein provided, and the
pledge of the Net Revenues of the System herein made for the payment of the Certificates shall
constitute a lien on the Net Revenues of the System in accordance with the terms and
provisions hereof and be valid and binding without further action by the City and without any

amount of the monthly deposits otherwise required to be deposited in the Certificate Fund from
the Net Revenues of the System. In addition, any proceeds of sale of the Certificates in excess
of the amount required to pay the contractual obligations to be incurred (including change
orders to a construction contract) shall be deposited in the Certificate Fund, which amount shall
reduce the sums otherwise required to be deposited in said Fund from ad valorem taxes and the
Net Revenues of the System.
SECTION 16: Security of Funds. All moneys on deposit in the Funds for which this
Ordinance makes provision (except any portion thereof as may be at any time properly
invested) shall be secured in the manner and to the fullest extent required by the laws of Texas

purposes permitted by this Ordinance.

benefits, if any, conferred thereby to the holders or owners of the Prior Lien Obligations.

pay to the United States out of the Certificate Fund or its general fund, as permitted by
applicable Texas statute, regulation or opinion of the Attorney General of the State of

the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder, the City shall not, at any time prior to the
earlier of the Stated Maturity or final payment of the Certificates, enter into any transaction that
reduces the amount required to be paid to the United States pursuant to Subsection Kof this

been relevant to either party.

Manager, Managing Director of Finance, and First Assistant City Manager, individually or jointly,

Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am the City Attorney for the City of Lubbock, Texas (the "City") at the time of the issuance and
sale of the "City of Lubbock, Texas Tax and Solid Waste System Surplus Revenue Certificates of

RN
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 and the Certificates, 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
2. 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

Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am the City Attorney for the City of Lubbock, Texas (the "City") at the time of the issuance and
sale of the "City of Lubbock, Texas Tax and Solid Waste System Surplus Revenue Certificates of s
Obligation, Series 2001," in the aggregate principal amount of $2,770,000 (the "Certificates"), pursuant
to the provisions of an ordinance duly adopted by the City Council of the City on February 8, 2001 (the
"Ordinance"). 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 originals conformity to the originals 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

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications and exceptions hereinafter set forth, I
am of the opinion that under the applicable laws of the United States of America and the State of Texas
in force and effect on the date hereof:
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 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
1:131
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 and the Certificates, 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
2. 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

pay the principal of and interest on the Certificates, (c) contesting or affecting the validity or
enforceability of the Certificates, the Ordinance or the Purchase Contract (d) contesting the
powers of the City or any authority for the issuance of the Certificates, or the adoption of the

City, including, particularly on the financial condition of the Solid Waste System of the City. s =
This opinion is furnished solely for your benefit and may be relied upon only by the addresses

deemed to evidence the same obligation as the mutilated, lost, destroyed, or stolen Certificate.

an assignee of a Holder any Certificate called for redemption, in whole or in part, within 45 days
of the date fixed for the redemption of such Certificate; provided, however, such limitation on
transferability shall not be applicable to an exchange by the Holder of the unredeemed balance
of a Certificate 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
transfer/exchange of the Certificates, the City hereby approves and authorizes the use of

the State of New York, in accordance with the operational arrangements referenced in the
Blanket Issuer Letter of Representations by and between the City and DTC (the "Depository
Agreement").
Pursuant to the Depository Agreement and the rules of DTC, the Certificates shall be
deposited with DTC who shall hold said Certificates for its participants (the "DTC Participants")
and, while the Certificates are held by DTC under the Depository Agreement, the Holder of the
Certificates 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 Certificate (the "Beneficial Owners") being recorded in the records of DTC and
DTC Participants.

Holders of the Certificates to cause Certificates to be printed in definitive form and provide for
the Certificate certificates to be issued and delivered to DTC Participants and Beneficial
Owners, as the case may be. Thereafter, the Certificates in definitive form shall be assigned,
transferred and exchanged on the Security Register maintained by the Paying Agent/Registrar

4 and 5 hereof.
SECTION 7: Execution - Registration. The Certificates shall be executed on behalf of
the City by the Mayor under its seal reproduced or impressed thereon and countersigned by the
City Secretary. The signature of said officers on the Certificates may be manual or facsimile.
Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who are or were the proper
officers of the City on the Certificate Date shall be deemed to be duly executed on behalf of the
City, notwithstanding that one or more of the individuals executing the same shall cease to be
such officer at the time of delivery of the Certificates to the initial purchaser(s) and with respect
to Certificates delivered in subsequent exchanges and transfers, all as authorized and provided
in V.T.C.A., Government Code, Section 1201.026.
No Certificate shall be entitled to any right or benefit under this Ordinance, or be valid or
obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate 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 9D, manually executed by
an authorized officer, employee or representative of the Paying Agent/Registrar, and either such
certificate duly signed upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence,
that such Certificate has been duly certified, registered and delivered.
SECTION 8: Initial Certificate(s). The Certificates herein authorized shall be initially
issued either (i) as a single fully registered certificate in the total principal amount of $2,770,000

designee thereof. The Initial Certificate(s) shall be the Certificates submitted to the Office of the
Attorney General of the State of Texas for approval, certified and registered by the Office of the
Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas and delivered to the initial purchaser(s).
Any time after the delivery of the Initial Certificate(s), the Paying Agent/Registrar, pursuant to

Certificate(s) delivered hereunder and exchange therefor definitive Certificates 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

amount of $2,770,000 (herein referred to as the "Certificates") for the purpose of paying all or
part of the City's obligations incurred for (i) the construction of public works, to wit: the closure of
a municipal landfill, and (ii) professional services rendered in connection with such project and
the financing thereof, under and in strict conformity with the Constitution and laws of the State of
Texas, particularly V.T.C.A., Local Government Code, Subchapter C of Chapter 271, and
pursuant to an Ordinance adopted by the governing body of the City (herein referred to as the
"Ordinance").
The Certificates maturing on and after February 15, 2011, may be redeemed prior to
their Stated Maturities, at the option of the City, in whole or in part in principal amounts of
$5,000 or any integral multiple thereof (and if within a Stated Maturity by lot by the Paying
Agent/Registrar), on February 15, 2010, or on any date thereafter, at the redemption price of
par, together with accrued interest to the date of redemption.
At least thirty days prior to a redemption date, the City shall cause a written notice of
such redemption to be sent by United States Mail, first class postage prepaid, to the registered
owners of each Certificate to be redeemed at the address shown on the Security Register and
subject to the terms and provisions relating thereto contained in the Ordinance. If a Certificate
(or any portion of its principal sum) shall have been duly called for redemption and notice of
such redemption duly given, then upon the redemption date such Certificate (or the portion of its
principal sum to be redeemed) shall become due and payable, and, if moneys for the payment
of the redemption price and the interest accrued on the principal amount to be redeemed to the
date of redemption are held for the purpose of such payment by the Paying Agent/Registrar,
interest shall cease to accrue and be payable from and after the redemption date on the
principal amount redeemed.
In the event a portion of the principal amount of a Certificate is to be redeemed and the
registered owner is someone other than Cede & Co., payment of the redemption price of such
principal amount shall be made to the registered owner only upon presentation and surrender of
such Certificate to the Designated Payment/Transfer Office of the Paying Agent/Registrar, and a
new Certificate or Certificates of like maturity and interest rate in any authorized denominations
provided by the Ordinance for the then unredeemed balance of the principal sum thereof will be
issued to the registered owner, without charge. If a Certificate is selected for redemption, in
whole or in part, the City and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall not be required to transfer such
Certificate to an assignee of the registered owner within 45 days of the redemption date
therefor; provided, however, such limitation on transferability shall not be applicable to an
exchange by the registered owner of the unredeemed balance of a Certificate redeemed in part.

subordinate to the lien on and pledge of the Net Revenues of the System securing the payment
of "Prior Lien Obligations" (as defined in the Ordinance). In the Ordinance, the City reserves
and retains the right to issue Prior Lien Obligations while the Certificates are outstanding without
limitation as to principal amount but subject to any terms, conditions or restrictions as may be
applicable thereto under law or otherwise, as well as the right to issue Additional Obligations (as
defined in the Ordinance).
Reference is hereby made to the Ordinance, a copy of which is on file in the Designated
Payment/Transfer Office of the Paying Agent/Registrar, and to all the provisions of which the
Holder hereof by the acceptance hereof hereby assents, for definitions of terms; the description
of and the nature and extent of the tax levied for the payment of the Certificates; the nature and
extent of the limited pledge of the Net Revenues securing the payment of the Certificates; the
terms and conditions relating to the transfer or exchange of this Certificate; the conditions upon
which the Ordinance may be amended or supplemented with or without the consent of the
Holders; the rights, duties, and obligations of the City and the Paying Agent/Registrar; the terms
and provisions upon which the tax levy and the pledge of the Net Revenues and covenants
made in the Ordinance may be discharged at or prior to the maturity of this Certificate, and this
Certificate deemed to be no longer Outstanding thereunder; and for the other terms and
provisions contained therein. Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the
Ordinance.
This Certificate, subject to certain limitations contained in the Ordinance, may be
transferred on the Security Register only upon its presentation and surrender at the Designated
Payment/Transfer Office of the Paying Agent/Registrar, with the Assignment hereon duly
endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Paying Agent/Registrar duly executed by, the registered owner hereof, or his duly authorized
agent. When a transfer on the Security Register occurs, one or more fully registered
' Certificates of authorized denominations and of the same aggregate principal amount will be
issued by the Paying Agent/Registrar to the designated transferee or transferees.
The City and the Paying Agent/Registrar, and any agent of either, may treat the
registered owner hereof whose name appears on the Security Register (i) on the Record Date
as the owner entitled to payment of interest hereon, (ii) on the date of surrender of this
Certificate as the owner entitled to payment of principal hereof at its Stated Maturity or its
redemption, in whole or in part, and (iii) on any other date as the owner for all other purposes,
and neither the City nor the Paying Agent/Registrar, or any agent of either, shall be affected by
notice to the contrary. In the event of nonpayment of interest on a scheduled payment date
and for thirty (30) days thereafter, a new record date for such interest payment (a "Special
r, 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 (which shall be 15 days after the
Special Record Date) shall be sent at least five (5) business days prior to the Special Record
Date by United States Mail, first class postage prepaid, to the address of each Holder appearing

United States or any agency, department and instrumentality thereof) other than a state
or local government, unless such use is solely as a member of the general public; and

with money replaced thereby), whether then held or previously disposed of, exceeds the Yield of
the Certificates.
F. Not Federally Guaranteed. Except to the extent permitted by section 149(b) of
the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder, the City shall not take or omit to take any
action which would cause the Certificates to be federally guaranteed within the meaning of
section 149(b) of the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder.
G. Information Report The City shall timely file the information required by section
149(e) of the Code with the Secretary of the Treasury on Form 8038-G or such other form and
in such place as the Secretary may prescribe.
H. Rebate of Arbitrage Profits. Except to the extent otherwise provided in section
148(f) of the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder:
(1) The City shall account for all Gross Proceeds (including all receipts,
expenditures and investments thereof) on its books of account separately and apart from
all other funds (and receipts, expenditures and investments thereof) and shall retain all
888217.1 -22-
records of accounting for at least six years after the day on which the last Outstanding
Certificate is discharged. However, to the extent permitted by law, the City may
commingle Gross Proceeds of the Certificates with other money of the City, provided
that the City separately accounts for each receipt and expenditure of Gross Proceeds
and the obligations acquired therewith.
(2) Not less frequently than each Computation Date, the City shall calculate the
Rebate Amount in accordance with rules set forth in section 148(f) of the Code and the
Regulations and rulings thereunder. The City shall maintain such calculations with its
official transcript of proceedings relating to the issuance of the Certificates until six years

Purchasers and the loan of the money represented thereby and in order to induce such
purchase by measures designed to insure the excludability of the interest thereon from
the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes, the City shall
pay to the United States out of the Certificate Fund or its general fund, as permitted by
applicable Texas statute, regulation or opinion of the Attorney General of the State of
Texas, the amount that when added to the future value of previous rebate payments
made for the Certificates equals (i) in the case of a Final Computation Date as defined in
Section 1.148-3(e)(2) of the Regulations, one hundred percent (100%) of the Rebate
Amount on such date; and (ii) in the case of any other Computation Date, ninety percent
(90%) of the Rebate Amount on such date. In all cases, the rebate payments shall be
made at the times, in the installments, to the place and in the manner as is or may be
required by section 148(f) of the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder, and
shall be accompanied by Form 8038-T or such other forms and information as is or may
be required by Section 148(f) of the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder.
(4) The City shall exercise reasonable diligence to assure that no errors are
made in the calculations and payments required by paragraphs (2) and (3), and if an
error is made, to discover and promptly correct such error within a reasonable amount of
time thereafter (and in all events within one hundred eighty (180) days after discovery of
the error), including payment to the United States of any additional Rebate Amount owed
to it, interest thereon, and any penalty imposed under Section 1.148-3(h) of the
Regulations.
I. Not to Divert Arbitrage Profits. Except to the extent permitted by section 148 of
the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder, the City shall not, at any time prior to the
earlier of the Stated Maturity or final payment of the Certificates, enter into any transaction that
reduces the amount required to be paid to the United States pursuant to Subsection H of this
Section because such transaction results in a smaller profit or a larger loss than would have
resulted if the transaction had been at arm's length and had the Yield of the Certificates not
been relevant to either party.
J. Elections. The City hereby directs and authorizes the Mayor, City Secretary, City
Manager, Managing Director of Finance, and First Assistant City Manager, individually or jointly,
to make elections permitted or required pursuant to the provisions of the Code or the
Regulations, as they deem necessary or appropriate in connection with the Certificates, in the

Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am the City Attorney for the City of Lubbock, Texas (the "City") at the time of the issuance and
sale of the "City of Lubbock, Texas Tax and Solid Waste System Surplus Revenue Certificates of
Obligation, Series 2001," in the aggregate principal amount of $2,770,000 (the "Certificates"), pursuant
to the provisions of an ordinance duly adopted by the City Council of the City on February 8, 2001 (the
"Ordinance"). 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 originals confomuty to the originals 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 forth, I
am of the opinion that under the applicable laws of the United States of America and the State of Texas
in force and effect on the date hereof:
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 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
B-1
PIN
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 and the Certificates, 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
2. 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 or delivery of any of the Certificates, or the collection of taxes levied or to be levied to
pay the principal of and interest on the Certificates, (c) contesting or affecting the validity or
enforceability of the Certificates, the Ordinance or the Purchase Contract (d) contesting the
powers of the City or any authority for the issuance of the Certificates, or the adoption of the
Ordinance, or (e) that would have a material and adverse effect on the financial condition of the
City, including, particularly on the financial condition of the Solid Waste System of the City.
This opinion is furnished solely for your benefit and may be relied upon only by the addresses
hereof or anyone to whom specific percussion is given in writing by me.
Very truly yours,

PRELIMINARY OFFICIAL STATEMENT

CITY OF LUBBOCK, TEXAS
GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS, SERIES 2001
AND
$2,770,000
CITY OF LUBBOCK, TEXAS
TAX AND SOLID WASTE SYSTEM SURPLUS REVENUE
CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION, SERIES 2001
INTRODUCTION
This Official Statement, which includes the Appendices hereto, provides certain information regarding the issuance of
$9,100,000 City of Lubbock, Texas, General Obligation Bonds, Series 2001 and $2,770,000 City of Lubbock, Texas, Tax and
Solid Waste System Surplus Revenue Certificates of Obligation, Series 2001 (collectively, the "Obligations"). Capitalized terms
used in this Official Statement have the same meanings assigned to such terms in the Bond Ordinance or the Certificate
Ordinance, as the case may be, to be adopted on the date of sale of the Obligations which will authorize the issuance of the
Obligations, except as otherwise indicated herein.
There follows in this Official Statement descriptions of the Obligations and certain information regarding the City and its
finances. All descriptions of documents contained herein are only summaries and are qualified in their entirety by reference to
each such document. Copies of such documents may be obtained from the City's Financial Advisor, First Southwest Company,
Dallas, Texas.
DESCRIPTION OF THE CITY ... The City is a political subdivision and municipal corporation of the State, duly organized and
existing under the laws of the State, including the City's Home Rule Charter. The City was incorporated in 1909, and first
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 terms 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 1990 Census population for the City was 186,206; the estimated 2000 population was 199,445. The City covers
approximately 115 square miles.
THE OBLIGATIONS
DESCRIPTION OF THE OBLIGATIONS ... The Obligations are dated February 1, 2001, and mature on February 15 in each of the
years and in the amounts shown on the cover page 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 of each year, commencing February 15, 2002. The definitive
Obligations 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 ("DTC") pursuant to the
Book -Entry -Only System described herein. No physical delivery of the Obligations will be made to the owners thereof.
Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Obligations 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 Obligations. See "Book -Entry -Only System" herein.
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., Government Code, Chapter 1331, as amended; an election held September 18, 1999 and passed by a
majority of the participating voters; and the Bond Ordinance. The Bonds are the second installment from a voted authorization
of $37,385,000 in principal amount of bonds approved at an election held in the City on September 18, 1999. See Table 11
herein for a description of the authorized purpose for the bonds approved at said election.
The Certificates are being issued pursuant to the Constitution and general laws of the State of Texas, particularly Subchapter C of
Chapter 271, Texas Local Government Code (the Certificate of Obligation Act of 1971), as amended, and the Certificate Ordinance.
10
E->
r--I
SOURCE AND SECURITY OF PAYMENT — THE BONDS ... All taxable property within the City is subject to a continuing direct
annual ad valorem tax levied by the City, within the limit prescribed by law, to provide for the payment of principal of and
interest on all Bonds.
SOURCE AND SECURITY OF PAYMENT — THE CERTIFICATES ... The Certificates are payable from the proceeds of an ad valorem
tax levied, within the limitations prescribed by law, upon all taxable property in the City and are additionally payable from and
secured by a lien on and pledge of the Net Revenues (as defined in the Certificate Ordinance) of the City's Solid Waste System
(the "System"), such lien and pledge, however, being junior and subordinate to the lien on and pledge of the Net Revenues of the
System securing the payment of "Prior Lien Obligations" (as defined in the Certificate Ordinance) now outstanding and hereafter
issued.
In the Certificate Ordinance, the City reserves and retains the right to issue Prior Lien Obligations while the Certificates are
Outstanding without limitation as to principal amount but subject to any terms, conditions or restrictions as may be applicable
thereto under law or otherwise, as well as the right to issue additional tax and revenue obligations payable from ad valorem taxes
and additionally payable from and secured by a parity lien on and pledge of the Net Revenues of the System of equal rank and
dignity with the lien and pledge securing the payment of the Certificates.
The City currently has outstanding one series of "Prior Lien Obligations" designated "City of Lubbock, Texas , Tax and Solid
Waste Disposal System Revenue Certificates of Obligation, Series 1991", dated May 15, 1991, with unpaid principal of
$l 10,000 and with a final maturity on February 15, 2001.
POSSIBLE AVOIDANCE OF PLEDGED PAYMENT SOURCES IN BANKRUPTCY... Texas has adopted the 1998 revisions to Article 9
of the Uniform Commercial Code (the "UCC"), to become effective July 1, 2001. The revisions would for the first time provide
means to perfect pledges by government entities and, in addition, would make unperfected pledges subject to the interests of a
bankruptcy trustee, whether or not the pledged collateral is exempt from judicial liens. Security interests arising before July 1,
2001 that are not perfected by July 1, 2002 will be considered unperfected pledges. For a number of reasons, it will be
impractical and perhaps impossible to perfect the City's pledge of ad valorem taxes (with respect to the Bonds and the
Certificates) and the pledge of the surplus net revenues of the Solid Waste System (with respect to the Certificates) under the
revised Article 9. In proceedings for the adjustments of their debts under the Bankruptcy Code, municipalities are generally
authorized to exercise the powers of a bankruptcy trustee. Accordingly, after July 1, 2002, it is likely that the City could avoid
its pledges made in the Ordinances to secure payments of the Obligations, unless the Texas UCC is further amended, or other
statutes are enacted, to avoid this result. Since the pledges may be legally unenforceable in the circumstances in which it would
be most valuable, no person should rely upon the pledge as providing asset security or a preference right in the event that the
City should become insolvent.
Even under the 1998 UCC revisions, the rights of holders with respect to the pledged payment sources under the Ordinances, and
other covenants of the City made in the Ordinance are valid and enforceable except in the event of bankruptcy. Thus, for
example, outside of the occurrence of municipal bankruptcy, bondholders may enforce the obligation of the City to apply the
!^ pledged sources to pay holders of the Obligations, as described above (see "The Obligations — Security and Source of Payment --
The Bonds" and "The Obligations — Security and Source of Payment -- The Certificates"). Moreover, the City is aware that
proposed legislation has been introduced for consideration by the Texas Legislature in the legislative session that begin January
9, 2001 to amend Texas law to avoid the results of the adoption of the 1998 UCC revisions mentioned above. No assurance can
be given, however, that any such legislation will be adopted by the Texas Legislature.
TAx RATE LIMITATION ... All taxable property within the City is subject to the assessment, levy and collection by the City of a
continuing, direct annual ad valorem tax to provide funds for the operation of the City and for the payment of principal of and
interest on all ad valorem tax debt within the limit prescribed by law. Article XI, Section 5, of the Texas Constitution is
applicable to the City, and limits its maximum ad valorem tax rate to $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 Obligations having stated maturities on and
after February 15, 2011, in whole or in part in principal amounts of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof, on February 15,
2010, or any date thereafter, at the par value thereof plus accrued interest to the date of redemption. If less than all of the
Obligations are to be redeemed, the City may select the maturities of Obligations to be redeemed. If less than all the Obligations
of any maturity are to be redeemed, the Paying Agent/Registrar (or DTC while the Obligations are in Book -Entry -Only form)
shall determine by lot the Obligations, or portions thereof, within such maturity to be redeemed. If an Obligation (or any portion
of the principal sum thereof) shall have been called for redemption and notice of such redemption shall have been given, such (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.
11
Lo
NOTICE OF REDEMPTION ... Not less than 30 days prior to a redemption date for the Obligations, 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 Obligations 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 CONCLUSIVELY PRESUMED TO HAVE BEEN DULY GIVEN, WHETHER OR NOT THE
REGISTERED OWNER RECEIVES SUCH NOTICE. NOTICE HAVING BEEN SO GIVEN, THE OBLIGATIONS CALLED
FOR REDEMPTION SHALL BECOME DUE AND PAYABLE ON THE SPECIFIED REDEMPTION DATE, AND
NOTWITHSTANDING THAT ANY OBLIGATION OR PORTION THEREOF HAS NOT BEEN SURRENDERED FOR
PAYMENT, INTEREST ON SUCH OBLIGATION OR PORTION THEREOF SHALL CEASE TO ACCRUE.
DEFEASANCE ... The respective Ordinances provide for the defeasance of the Bond or Certificates, as the case may be, when
the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, on the Bonds or Certificates, as the case may be, plus interest thereon to the
due date thereof (whether such due date be by reason of maturity, redemption, or otherwise), is provided by irrevocably
depositing with a paying agent, in trust (1) money sufficient to make such payment or (2) Defeasance 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, and all necessary and proper
fees, compensation and expenses of the paying agent for the Bonds or Certificates, as the case may be. The respective
Ordinances provide that "Government Obligations" 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, 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 firm not less than AAA or its equivalent. Upon making such deposit in the manner described, the Obligations
shall no longer be outstanding obligations secured by the Bond Ordinance or Certificate Ordinance, as the case may be, 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 purpose other than to receive payment from the funds and Government Securities deposited in escrow.
AMENDMENTS ... The City may amend the respective Ordinances 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 respective issue of the Obligations then outstanding affected thereby, amend, add to, or rescind any of
the provisions of the Ordinances; except that, without the consent of the registered owners of all of the Obligations affected, no
such amendment, addition or rescission may (1) change the date specified as the date on which the principal of any installment of
interest on any Obligation is due payable, reduce the principal amount or maturity value thereof or the rate of interest thereon,
change the place or places at or the coin or currency in which any Obligation or interest thereon is payable, or in any other way
modify the terms of the payment of the principal of or interest on the Obligations, (2) give any preference to any Obligation over
any other Obligation or (3) reduce the aggregate principal amount or maturity value of Obligations required for consent to any
amendment, addition or waiver.
BOOK -ENTRY -ONLY SYSTEM ... This section describes how ownership of the Obligations are to be transferred and how the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Obligations are to be paid to and credited by The Depository Trust Company
("DTC'), New York, New York, while the Obligations 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 completeness thereof.
The City cannot and does not give any assurance that (1) DTC will distribute payments of debt service on the Obligations, 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 Obligations), 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 Obligations. The Obligations will be issued as fully -registered securities registered
in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC's partnership nominee). One fully -registered certificate will be issued for each maturity of the
Obligations in the aggregate principal amount of each such maturity and will be deposited with DTC.
DTC 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 17A of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds securities that its participants ("Direct Participants") deposit with DTC. DTC also
facilitates the settlement among Participants of securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities
12
r-.
through electronic computerized book -entry changes in Participants' accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical
movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing
corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is owned by a number of its Direct Participants and by the New York Stock
Exchange, Inc., the American Stock Exchange, Inc., and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Access to the DTC
system is also available to others such as securities brokers and dealers, banks, and trust companies that clear through or
maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly ("Indirect Participants"). The Rules
applicable to DTC and its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Purchases of Obligations under the DTC system must be made by or through DTC Participants, which will receive a credit for
such purchases on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Obligation ("Beneficial Owner") is in
turn to be recorded on the Direct or Indirect Participants' records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from
DTC of their purchase, but Beneficial Owners are expected to receive written confirmations providing details 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 interest in the Obligations are to be accomplished by entries made on the
books of Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing
their ownership interests in the Obligations, except in the event that use of the book -entry system described herein is
discontinued.
To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Obligations deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC s
partnership nominee, Cede & Co. The deposit of Obligations with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. effect
no change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Obligations; DTC's records
reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Obligations are credited, which may or may not be the
Beneficial Owners. The 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.
Redemption notices shall be sent to Cede & Co. If less than all of the Obligations within an issue are being redeemed, DTC's
practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such issue to be redeemed.
Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. will consent or vote with respect to the Obligations. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an
Omnibus Proxy to the City as soon as possible after the Record Date (hereinafter defined). The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede &
Co.'s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts the Obligations are credited on the Record Date
(identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy).
Principal and interest payments on the Obligations will be made to DTC. DTC's practice is to credit Direct Participants' accounts
on each payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC's records unless DTC has reason to believe that
it will not receive payment on such payable date. 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 in bearer form or registered
in "street name," and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, 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 principal and interest to
DTC is the responsibility of the City, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants shall be the responsibility of DTC,
and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners shall be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.
DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository with respect to the Obligations at any time by giving
reasonable notice to the City. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor securities depository is not obtained,
Obligations are required to be printed and delivered.
The City may decide to discontinue use of the system of book -entry transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository).
In that event, Obligations will be printed and delivered.
Use of Certain Terms in Other Sections of this Official Statement. In reading this Official Statement it should be understood
that while the Obligations 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 Obligations, 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.
13
Effect of Termination of Book -Entry Only System. In the event that the Book -Entry Only System is discontinued by DTC or
following provisions will be applicable to the Obligations. The Obligations may be exchanged for an equal
the use of the Book -Entry Only System is discontinued by the City, printed Obligations will be issued to the holders and the
aggregate amount of the Obligations in authorized denominations and of the same maturity upon surrender thereof at the prprincipal
incipal office
for payment of the Paying Agent/Registrar. The transfer of any Obligation may be registered on the books maintained by the
Paying Agent/Registrar for such purpose only upon the surrender of such Obligation to the Paying Agent/Registrar with a du
executed assignment in form satisfactory to the Paying Agent/Registrar. For every exchange or transfer of registration ly
of
Obligations, the Paying Agent/Registrar and the City may make a charge sufficient to reimburse them for any tax or other
governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such exchange or registration of transfer. The City shall pay the fee, if
any, charged by the Paying Agent/Registrar for the transfer or exchange. The Paying Agent/Registrar will not be required to
transfer or exchange any Obligation after its selection for redemption. The City and the Paying Agent/Registrar may treat the
person in whose name a Obligation is registered as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, whether such Obligation is
overdue or not, including for the purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on, such Obligation.
RECORD DATE FOR INTEREST PAYMENT ... The record date ("Record Date") for the interest payable on the Obligations 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 Obligation 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.
HOLDERS' REMEDIES ... The respective Ordinances do not establish specific events of default with respect to the Bonds or the
Certificates, as the case may be. Under State law there is no right to the acceleration of maturity of the Bonds or the Certificates,
as the case may be, upon the failure of the City to observe any covenant under the respective Ordinances. Although a registered
owner of Bonds or Certificates, as the case may be, could presumably obtain a judgment against the City if a default occurred in
the payment of principal of or interest on any such Bonds or Certificates, as the case may be, 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 or Certificates, as the case may be, as it becomes due and, with respect to the
Certificates, to apply the surplus net revenues of the Solid Waste System to pay the Certificates. 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 respective Ordinances do not provide for the appointment of a trustee to represent the interests of the holders upon
any failure of the City to perform in accordance with the terms of the applicable 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. (See "The Obligations — Possible Avoidance of Pledged Payment Sources in Bankruptcy".) The opinions of Bond
Counsel will note that all opinions relative to the enforceability of the respective Ordinances and the Bonds and Certificates are
qualified with respect to the customary rights of debtors relative to their creditors.

TAX INFORMATION
An VALOREM 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 to 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 determining 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 for a tax year to an amount not to exceed the less of (1) the market value of the property, or (2) the sum of (a) 10%
of the appraised value of the property for 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 purposes; 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 VIII, and State law, the governing body of a political subdivision, at its option, may grant: (1) 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 VIII provides that eligible owners of both agricultural land (Section 1-d) and open -space land (Section 1-d-1), including
open -space land devoted to farm 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 to tax this property. Boats owned as nonbusiness property are exempt from ad valorem taxation.
Article VIII, Section l 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 purpose 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 to reversal.
The City and the other taxing bodies within its territory may agree to jointly create tax increment financing zones, under which the
tax values on property in the zone are "frozen" at the value of the property at the time of creation of the zone. The City also 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 turn 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 10
years.
16
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.
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 assess 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.
P"* 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. 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.
'11' PENALTIES AND INTEREST ... Charges for penalty and interest on the unpaid balance of delinquent taxes are made as follows:

After July, penalty remains at 12%, and interest increases at the rate of 1% each month. In addition, if an account is delinquent
in July, a 15% attorney's collection fee is added to the total tax penalty and interest charge. 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.
17
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.
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.
n
The City collects an additional one -eighth cent sales tax for reduction of ad valorem taxes.
The City has adopted a tax abatement policy, as described below.
TAX ABATEMENT POLICY ... 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, the City has initiated 20
enterprise projects and tax abatements, principally in the northeast and southeast sections of the City. The amount and term of
abatement shall be determined on a case by case basis; however, in no event shall taxes be abated for a term in excess of ten (10)
years. �-
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING ZONE ... Together with other taxing units, the City participates in a Tax Increment District
("TID") pursuant to Chapter 311, Texas Tax Code, VTCA. The TID covers an approximately 0.71 square -mile area which
includes part of the central business district and adjacent areas of the City known as the Overton Addition and the Broadway
Corridor. The base taxable values of the TID are frozen at the level of taxable values for 1986, the year of creation. Any ad
valorem taxes relating to growth of the TID's tax base above the frozen base may be used only to finance improvements within
the TID. The tax base for the TID for 1986 was $98,180,307; the 2000 taxable assessed value of property in the TID is less than
the tax base and there is no current tax increment.

(2) The statement of indebtedness does not include outstanding $33,230,000 Electric Light and Power System Revenue Bonds,
as these Bonds are payable solely from the Net Revenues of the Electric Light and Power System.
(3) As a matter of policy, the City provides for debt service on general obligation debt issued to fund Waterworks System
improvements, Sewer System improvements and Solid Waste Disposal System improvements from surplus revenues of
these Systems; debt service on the Hotel Occupancy Tax Certificates of Obligation is provided from Hotel Occupancy Tax
revenues (see "Table 8A — Pro -Forma General Obligation Debt Service Requirements", "Table 8B - Division of Debt
Service Requirements", "Table 9 - Interest and Sinking Fund Budget Projection" and "Table 10 - Computation of SeIf-
Supporting Debt").
"Waterworks System General Obligation Debt" includes $64,370,436 principal amount of outstanding general obligation
bonds and certificates of obligation that were issued to finance Waterworks System improvements, and that are being paid
from 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 $54,663,056 principal amount of outstanding general obligation bonds
and certificates of obligation that were issued to finance sewer system improvements, and that are being paid from sewer
system revenues. The City has no outstanding Sewer System Revenue Bonds.
"Solid Waste Disposal System General Obligation Debt" consist of $6,743,924 principal amount of outstanding general
obligation debt that was issued for solid waste disposal improvements, and that is being paid from revenues derived from
solid waste service fees. The City has no outstanding Solid Waste Disposal System Revenue Bonds.
"Hotel Occupancy Tax Certificates of Obligation" consists of $385,000 principal amount of outstanding general obligation
debt.

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 and the Lubbock Central
Appraisal District. 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. Further-
more, certain of the entities listed may have issued additional bonds since the date hereof, and such entities may have programs
requiring the issuance of substantial amounts of additional bonds, the amount of which cannot be determined. The following
table reflects the estimated share of overlapping Tax Debt of the City.

ANTICIPATED ISSUANCE OF GENERAL OBLIGATION DEBT ... As described below, the City has identified certain capital projects
in its capital improvement plan that may be financed through the issuance of tax -supported debt over the next three years. In
2000, the City commissioned a feasibility study regarding various storm water drainage improvements to be made throughout
the City, and it is currently anticipated that the City will issue Combination Tax and Stormwater Revenue Certificates of
Obligation in the Spring of 2001 for the first phase of this project. It is estimated that the Certificates will be in the range of $25
to $35 million in principal amount. Phase two of the project, which could be issued in 2002 or 2003, would be funded by the
issuance of approximately $30 million of Combination Tax and Stormwater Revenue Certificates of Obligation. The debt for the
storm water drainage project is expected to be self-supporting from storm water fees collected by the City. In addition, the City
expects to issue approximately $6 million of Certificates of Obligation in the 2001-02 fiscal year to fund the City's share of right
of way acquisition costs for a freeway that will traverse the City from east to west. The City's current debt issuance plan also
includes an additional $8.125 million of Combination Tax and Solid Waste System Revenue Certificates of Obligation during
the 2001-02 and 2002-03 fiscal years to fund additional landfill closure costs, which the City expects to be self sufficient from
revenues provided by the Solid Waste System. The issuance plan includes approximately $7.9 million of Combination Tax and
Water and Sewer System Revenue Certificates of Obligation during the 2001-02 and 2002-03 fiscal years, which the City
expects to be self sufficient from revenues of the Water and Sewer System. Finally, the plan calls for the City to issue additional
General Obligation Bonds in the approximate amount of $19.8 million during the 2001-02 and 2002-03 fiscal years to fund a
Portion of the projects for which the City has received authorization from the voters. See "Table 1 l — Authorized but Unissued
General Obligation Bonds."
TABLE 12 — OTHER OBLIGATIONS
The City has no unfunded debt outstanding as of 9-30-00.
PENSION FUND ... TEXAS MUNICIPAL RETIR MENT SYSTEM (1)(2) . . . 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 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. Employee contribution rate is 6% of gross salary. Beginning October 11, 1997, employee contribution rate
is 7% of gross salary. The City's contribution rate is calculated each year using actuarial techniques applied to experience. The
1999 contribution rate was 14.27%. The 2000 contribution rate is 13.6%. 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, 1999, assets held by TMRS (not including those of the Supplemental Disability Fund, which is "pooled"), for
the City of Lubbock were $147,042,049. Unfunded accrued liabilities on December 31, 1999 were $34,397,608, which is being
amortized over a 25-year period beginning January, 1997. Total contributions by the City to the System for Calendar Year 1999
were $7,146,029.
FIREMEN'S RELIEF AND RETIREMENT FUND (1)... City of Lubbock firefighters are members of the locally administered Lubbock
Firemen's Relief and Retirement Fund (the "FUND"), 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 ra
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 "formula' 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 2000 was 16.02%.
As of December 31, 1998, unfunded pension benefit obligations were $7,168,633 which is being amortized over a 13 year period
beginning January 1, 1997.

(1) The presentation of the City's General Fund income statements in its audited financial statements was changed in 1997,
resulting in different categorizations of expenditure items.
(2) The City's financial policies provide for transfers to the General Fund from the City's enterprise funds. The policies
provide that the water, waste water and solid waste funds transfer an amount sufficient to cover the pro rata share of the
City's general and administrative expenses, an amount representing a franchise payment equal to 3% of gross receipts and
an amount representing a payment in lieu of ad valorem taxes. The Electric System makes transfers for the foregoing
purposes, and, in addition, makes a transfer reflecting the System's share of street lighting expense. The City's policies with
respect to enterprise fund transfers are subject to change. Among the factors that could affect the transfers to the General
Fund is the effect of increased competition on the City's electric utility that could occur due to the implementation of Senate
Bill 7, which mandates open competition in the provision of retail electric service in the State commencing January 1, 2002.
(3) The City's financial policies target a General Fund undesignated balance of at least two months of General Fund
expenditures. Amounts representing fund balances in excess of the target are reserved for future capital expenditures.

TABLE 14 - MUNICIPAL SALES TAX HISTORY
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 Obligations 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, after deduction of a 2% service fee, to the City monthly. Revenue from the City's

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
The City Council adopted a resolution during the 1984-85 budget process establishing permanent 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 9-30-01, the
City Council has approved $48,877,329 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, Storm Water System and Airport. The
Capital Projects Fund budget for 2000-2001 also identifies an additional $132,292,054 in future improvements, for all City
departments over the four succeeding fiscal years, including $36,385,000 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.
FINANCIAL POLICIES
Basis of Accounting . . . The accounting policies of the City conform 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, 1999. The City's 2000
report will be submitted to GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate.
GASB 34 Implications for the City of Lubbock . .. In June 1999, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement No. 34, "Basic Financial Statements -- Management's Discussion and Analysis -- for State and Local Governments".
The objective of this Statement is to enhance the clarity and usefulness of the general-purpose external financial reports of state
and local governments to the citizenry, legislative and oversight bodies, and investors and creditors. The City must implement
GASB 34 for its fiscal year ending September 30, 2002. While adoption of this Statement will alter the presentation of some
1

Go
financial information, management believes that there will be no material adverse impact to the City's financial position, results
of operation, or cash flows.
General Fund Balance ... The City's objective is to achieve and maintain a General Fund balance equivalent to two months
operating costs of the General Fund Budget. The City believes that such a reserve will be sufficient to provide financing for
necessary projects, unanticipated contingencies, and fluctuations in anticipated revenues.
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 enterprise fund for unforeseen contingencies. 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 the
System's rate stabilization fund to meet shortfalls in revenues or fluctuating rate environments, to fund capital improvements and
r•� 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 enterprise fund be operated in a manner that results in self
sufficiency, without the need for additional monetary transfers from other funds. Such self sufficiency is to be obtained through
the rates, fees and charges of each enterprise fund. 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:
4ON 1) Prior to August 1, 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 financial Report.
The City has received the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award from the GFOA for the following budget years beginning
October 1, 1983-88 and 1990-99. The City will submit the current budget to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another
award.
Insurance ... The City is self -insured for general liability and health benefits coverage, although it purchases reinsurance
coverage 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 9-30-00 the total Fund Equity of these insurance funds are as follows:
Self-insurance — health $ 6,858,161
Self-insurance — risk management $ 10,496,729
31
INVESTMENTS
The City of Lubbock invests its investable funds in investments authorized by Texas law in accordance with investment policies
approved by the City Council of the City of Lubbock. Both state law and the City's investment policies are subject to change.
LEGAL, INVESTMENTS ... Under Texas law, the City is authorized to invest in (1) obligations of the United States or its agencies and
instrumentalities, (2) direct obligations of the State of Texas or its agencies and instrumentalities, (3) collateralized mortgage

THE SOLID WASTE SYSTEM
The information set forth below relates to the City's Solid Waste System. The Certificates are secured by a pledge of the ad valorem
taxes levied by the City, within the Iimit prescribed by law, and are further secured by a pledge of the surplus net revenues of the
Solid Waste System.
SOLID WASTE SYSTEM
The Solid Waste Disposal System, operated by the Solid Waste Management Department provides refuse collection, recycling and
disposal services to the City. The Collection Services collects refuse twice weekly (once weekly in the winter) from the City's
residential households and some local businesses which can be served with side -loading containers. Residential Collection manages
several programs to reduce illegally dumped items:
1) Dial-A-Dumpster— allows customers to request a dumpster, at no cost, for the disposal of large items.
2) Quarterly Buy Back program — the large item "Buy Back" program provides for the payment of a small stipend to residents
who transport bulky items to the City's landfill. This program has produced savings for the City due, as the resident, and not
the City, collects and transports the bulky items that are covered by the program.
3) Large item and yard waste disposal at recycling drop-off centers — citizens can drop off large items or yard waste at these
drop sites.
The Solid Waste Disposal division operates the City of Lubbock's two landfills and anticipates disposing and processing
approximately 314,300 tons of refuse in Fiscal Year 2000-2001. The new landfill located near Abernathy, Texas was opened in
October 1999. The new landfill was located near the City of Abernathy, Texas, approximately 12 miles north of the old landfill. The
new landfill is licensed for 1,231 acres. The old landfill consists of eight licensed "cells," two of which are planned to be continued
to be used by the City for disposal of construction and demolition materials and inert material. Two of the cells, including cell four,
the closure of which is being funded with the proceeds of the Certificates, have a thirty year monitoring requirement under State law.
Several of the old landfill cells were closed in 1993 and have only a seven year monitoring requirement under State law. The City ,
intends to fund the closure costs of certain of the cells with proceeds of certificates of obligation, however, post closure costs of the
old landfill have been funded through designated balances in the Solid Waste Enterprise Fund.

Summarized below are the current solid waste rates of the City. The City has not increased solid waste rates since October 1, 1995.

TAX MATTERS
TAX EXEMPTION ... The delivery of the Obligations is subject to the opinions of Bond Counsel to the effect that interest on the
Bonds or Certificates, as the case may be, for federal income tax purposes (1) will be excludable from gross income, as defined
e*� in section 61 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 opinions is reproduced as Appendix C. The statute, regulations, rulings, and court decisions on which
such opinion is based are subject to change.
Interest on all tax-exempt obligations, including the Obligations, 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 Obligations pertaining to the use, expenditure, and investment of the proceeds of the
Obligations and will assume continuing compliance by the City with the provisions of the respective Ordinances subsequent to
the issuance of the Obligations. The respective Ordinances contain covenants by the City with respect to, among other matters,
the use of the proceeds of the Obligations and the facilities financed therewith by persons other than state or local governmental
units, the manner in which the proceeds of the Obligations 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 information to the United
States Treasury. Failure to comply with any of these covenants would cause interest on the Obligations to be includable in the
r+ gross income of the owners thereof from date of the issuance of the Obligations.
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 Obligations. Prospective purchasers of the Bonds or Certificates, as the case may be, should be aware that the
ownership of tax-exempt obligations such as the Bonds or Certificates, as the case may be, may result in collateral federal tax
consequences to, among others, financial institutions, life insurance companies, property and casualty insurance companies,
011 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 FASIT, 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 OBLIGATIONS ... The initial public offering price of
certain Bonds or Certificates, as the case may be (the "Discount Obligations") may be less than the amount payable on such
Obligations at maturity. An amount equal to the difference between the initial public offering price of a Discount Obligation
(assuming that a substantial amount of the Bonds or Certificates, as the case may be, 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
Obligation. A portion of such original issue discount allocable to the holding period of such Discount Obligation by the initial
purchaser will, upon the disposition of such Discount Obligation (including by reason of its payment at maturity), be treated as
era 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 Obligations 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 Obligation, taking into account
the semiannual compounding of accrued interest, at the yield to maturity on such Discount Obligation 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 FASIT, 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. Moreover, in the event of the redemption, sale or other taxable disposition
of a Discount Obligation by the initial owner prior to maturity, the amount realized by such owner in excess of the basis of such
Discount Obligation in the hands of such owner (adjusted upward by the portion of the original issue discount allocable to the
period for which such Discount Obligation was held) is includable in gross income.
35
Owners of Discount Obligations should consult with their own tax advisors with respect to the determination of accrued original
issue discount on Discount Obligations for federal income tax purposes and with respect to the state and local tax consequences
of owning and disposing of Discount Obligations. It is possible that, under applicable provisions governing determination of
state and local income taxes, accrued interest on Discount Obligations 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 or Certificates, as the case may be, (the "Premium Obligations") may be greater
than the amount payable on such Obligations at maturity. An amount equal to the difference between the initial public offering
price of a Premium Obligation (assuming that a substantial amount of the Bonds or Certificates, as the case may be, 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 Obligations. The basis for federal income tax purposes of a Premium Obligation 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 Obligation. The amount of premium which is amortizable each year by an initial purchaser is determined by using
such purchaser's yield to maturity.
Purchasers of the Premium Obligations should consult with their own tax advisors with respect to the determination of
amortizable bond premium on Premium Obligations for federal income tax purposes and with respect to the state and local tax
consequences of owning and disposing of Premium Obligations.
36
OTHER INFORMATION
RATINGS
The Obligations have been rated "Aa2" by Moody's, "AA+" by S&P and "AA+" by Fitch. The City also has one issue
outstanding that is rated "Aaa" by Moody's and "AAA" by S&P through insurance by a commercial insurance company. 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 said companies, circumstances so warrant. Any such
downward revision or withdrawal of such ratings may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Obligations.
e^
LITIGATION
It is the opinion of the City Attorney and City Staff that there is no pending litigation against the City that would have a material
adverse financial impact upon the City or its operations.
REGISTRATION AND QUALIFICATION OF OBLIGATIONS FOR SALE
The sale of the Obligations have 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 Obligations have not been qualified under the Securities Act of Texas
in reliance upon various exemptions contained therein; nor have the Obligations been qualified under the securities acts of any
jurisdiction. The City assumes no responsibility for qualification of the Obligations under the securities laws of any jurisdiction
in which the Obligations may be sold, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred. This disclaimer of
responsibility for qualification for sale or other disposition of the Obligations 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 FUNDS IN TEXAS
The Certificates. Section 251.051, Texas Local Government Code, provides that the Certificates are legal and authorized
investments for banks, savings banks, trust companies, building and loan associations, savings and loan associations, insurance
e; companies, fiduciaries, trustees and guardians, and for the sinking funds of municipalities, school districts, and other political
subdivisions or public agencies of the State of Texas. The Certificates are eligible to secure deposits of any public funds of the
state, municipalities, school districts, and other political subdivisions of the state, and are legal security for those deposits to the
extent of their market value.
The Bonds. 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. In addition, various provisions of the Texas Finance Code provide that,
subject to a prudence standard, the Bonds are legal investments for state banks, savings banks, trust companies with at least $1
million of capital, and savings and loan associations.
General Considerations. For political subdivisions in Texas that have adopted investment policies and guidelines in
accordance with the Public Funds Investment Act (V.T.C.A., Government Code, Chapter 2256), the Obligations may have to be
assigned a rating of "A" or its equivalent as to investment quality by a national rating agency before such obligations are eligible
investments for sinking funds and other public funds. The City has made no investigation of other laws, rules, regulations or
investment criteria which might apply to such institutions or entities or which might limit the suitability of the Obligations for
any of the foregoing purposes or limit the authority of such institutions or entities to purchase or invest in the Obligations for
such purposes. The City has made no review of laws in other states to determine whether the Obligations are legal investments
for various institutions in those states.
LEGAL OPINIONS AND NO -LITIGATION CERTIFICATE
The City will furnish a complete transcript of proceedings had incident to the authorization and issuance of the Obligations,
including the unqualified approving legal opinion of the Attorney General of Texas approving the Initial Bond or Certificate, as
the case may be, and to the effect that the Bonds or Certificates, as the case may be, are valid and legally binding obligations of
the City, and based upon examination of such transcript of proceedings, the approving legal opinion of Bond Counsel, to like
effect and to the effect that the interest on the Bonds or Certificates, as the case may be, will be excludable from gross income for
federal income tax purposes under Section 103(a) of the Code, subject to the matters described under "Tax Matters" herein,
including the alternative minimum tax on corporations. The customary closing papers, including a certificate to the effect that
no litigation of any nature has been filed or is then pending to restrain the issuance and delivery of the Obligations, or which
would affect the provision made for their payment or security, or in any manner questioning the validity of said Obligations will

contractual or tort liability for damages resulting in whole or in part from any breach of its continuing disclosure agreement or
from any statement made pursuant to its agreement, although holders of Bonds or Certificates, as the case may be, may seek a
writ of mandamus to compel the City to comply with its agreement.
The City may amend its continuing disclosure agreement from time to time to adapt to changed circumstances that arise from a
change in legal requirements, a change in law, or a change in the identity, nature, status, or type of operations of the City, if (i)
the agreement, as amended, would have permitted an underwriter to purchase or sell Bonds or Certificates, as the case may be, in
the offering described herein in compliance with the Rule, taking into account any amendments or interpretations of the Rule to
the date of such amendment, as well as such changed circumstances, and (ii) either (a) the holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the outstanding Bonds or Certificates, as the case may be, 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 Bond or Certificates, as the case may be. 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 of final 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 or Certificates, as the case may be in the primary offering of the Obligations.
If the City so amends the agreement, it has agreed to include with the next financial information 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 has complied in all material respects with all continuing disclosure
agreements made by it in accordance with SEC Rule 15c2-12.

GOVERNMENT AND MILITARY (1)
On March 1, 1995, the Secretary of the Air Force announced that Reese Air Force Base ("Reese"), a pilot training base located
adjacent to the City, was included in the list of bases recommended for closure submitted to the Base Closure and Realignment
Commission ("BRAC"). BRAC reevaluated Reese along with all other undergraduate pilot training bases, however, Reese was
included in the final list of bases recommended for closure. Final recommendations were submitted to the President in July, 1995.
The President and Congress approved the BRAC recommendations and Reese closed on October 1, 1997.
As a result, the City has developed a re -use plan for the facilities. Prior to closure 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 current growth in other economic
sectors has minimized or neutralized closure of the base. In addition, there could be 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 act provided for the creation of the
Lubbock Reese Redevelopment Authority (the "Authority") upon an affirmative vote by the governing body of the City and the
Commissioners Court of Lubbock County. 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, personal, and mixed property situated within Reese Air Force
Base. The Authority is empowered to manage, lease, sale and develop its property. The former air base, now known as "Reese
Center" 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 Science Center. TIEHH researches the exposure and effects toxic chemicals have on human
health and the environment. The Institute is comprised of five divisions: Environmental Health and Toxicology, Environmental
Law and Policy, Communications and Outreach, Research and Quality Management, and Human Health Sciences. Each of these
five Divisions facilitates TIEHH's educational and research goals. TIEHH will help stimulate the Lubbock economy by creating
jobs. Eventually, TIEHH is expected to create many new jobs for Lubbock and the South Plains region. And, TIEHH's tenancy at
Reese Center began the process of converting the former military installation into an active and thriving facility for the Lubbock
community and surrounding area.
State of Texas ... More than 25 State of Texas boards, departments, agencies and commissions have offices in Lubbock; several of
these offices have multiple units or offices.
Federal Government ... Several Federal departments and various other administrations and agencies have offices in Lubbock; a
Federal District Court is located in the City.

Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2000
NOTE I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements of the City of Lubbock, Lubbock County, Texas (City) have been prepared in
conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) as applicable to governmental
�^ units. The Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the acknowledged standard -setting
body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. With respect to
proprietary activities, 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 has elected to apply all applicable GASB pronouncements as
well as Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements and Accounting Principles
Board (APB) Opinions, 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
In June, 1991, the GASB issued Statement No. 14, "The Financial Reporting Entity". In
n
accordance with this statement, the City has presented those entities, which comprise the primary
government along with its discretely presented Component Units in the fiscal year 2000 genera -
purpose financial statements.
The City is a municipal corporation governed by a Mayor -Council form of government. As
required by GAAP, the general purpose financial statements present the reporting entity which
consists of the primary government, organizations for which the primary government is
financially accountable and other organizations for which the nature and significance of their
relationship with the primary government are such that exclusion could cause the City's general
purpose financial statements to be misleading or incomplete.
BLENDED COMPONENT UNITS
The following Component Unit has been presented as a blended Component Unit because
although it is legally separate, the Component Unit is so intertwined with the primary government
that it is, in substance, a part of the primary government.
The Urban Renewal Agency (URA) was formed to provide Urban Renewal Services for the City
of Lubbock, 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 City Council, and acts only in an advisory capacity to the City Council. All powers
t^ to govern the component unit are held by the City Council such that, the City Council is
essentially the governing body for the Urban Renewal Agency. Financial activity of the
Component Unit is reported in the Community Development Expendable Trust Fund.
DISCRETELY PRESENTED COMPONENT UNITS
The Component Unit columns in the combined 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 financially 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 Citibus (Citibus) In 1998, the City renewed a five year
management agreement with McDonald Transit Associates, Inc. to manage and operate a city
owned transportation system (Citibus). Citibus is a legally separate entity. 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.

NOTE I. SUT IlV Y OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. REPORTING ENTITY (CONTINUED)
Civic Lubbock, Inc. promotes the cultural and educational usage of the Lubbock Memorial Civic
Center and Lubbock Municipal Coliseum. The 7 member board is appointed by the City Council.
City Council approves the annual budget for Civic Lubbock, Inc Civic Lubbock, Inc. is reported
as a proprietary type component unit.
Market Lubbock Economic Development Corporation dba Market Lubbock, Inc. (Market
Lubbock Inc.) On October 10, 1995, the Lubbock City Council created Market Lubbock, Inc., a
non-profit corporation responsible for creating, managing, operating and supervising programs and
activities for the purpose of promoting, assisting and enhancing economic development within and
around the City of Lubbock. Market Lubbock, Inc. is a legally separate entity. The City Council
appoints the seven -member board. The operation is funded mostly by the equivalent of three cents
of the property tax rate. Market Lubbock, Inc. is reported as a governmental type component
unit.
The combined financial statements present financial statements for each of the three discretely
presented component units. Copies of financial statements of the individual component units may
be obtained from their respective administrative offices listed below:

RELATED ORGANIZATIONS
The City's officials are also responsible for appointing the members of the boards of other
organizations 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 the City of Lubbock. The Authority is not fiscally dependent on the City of
Lubbock and City Council is not able to impose its will on the entity. The City of Lubbock 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. Its affairs are governed by the Mayor's designee, the Finance
Manager, three firefighters elected by members of the LFRRF, and two at -large members elected
by the Board. It is funded by contributions 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
marching monthly contributions made by the members. Title to assets is vested in the LFRRF and
30

NOTE I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A REPORTING ENTITY (CONTINUED)
not in the City. The State Firemen's Pension Commission is the governing body over the LFRRF;
thus, the City of Lubbock 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.
Lubbock Health Facilities Development Corporation (LHFDC) promotes health facilities
development. City Council appoints the seven -member board. Bonds issued by LHFDC do not
constitute indebtedness of the City. The City does not govern operations of LHFDC.
Lubbock Housing Finance Corporation, Inc. (LHFC) was formed pursuant to the Texas
Housing 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 independent of the City. Indebtedness of the LHFC does not constitute
indebtedness of the City. The City is not able to impose its will on the LHFC.
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 Authority ("WTMPA") 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 WTMPA. The contractual arrangement with
WTMPA calls for each participating city to guarantee payments of the WTMPA 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's percentage of the debt service guaranteed is 85.21%.
The City has an ongoing financial interest in WTMPA 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 WTMPA 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).
During the year ended September 30, 2000, the City paid $663,038 to WTMPA for purchased
power and was not required to subsidize any debt service payments.
B. BASIS OF PRESENTATION - FUND ACCOUNTING
The financial transactions of the City are recorded in individual funds and account groups. Each
fund is accounted for by providing a separate set of self -balancing accounts that comprise its assets,
liabilities, reserves, fund equity, revenues, and expenditures/expenses.
The various funds are classified into three categories: governmental, proprietary and fiduciary.
The following fund types and account groups are used by the City:
31
CITY OF LUBBOCK, TEXAS
Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2000
NOTE I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
B. BASIS OF PRESENTATION - FUND ACCOUNTING (CONTINUED)
GOVERNMENTAL FUND TYPES
General Fund is the general operating fund of the City. It is used to account for all financial
transactions except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources (other
than special assessments, expendable trusts, 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 financial resources for the
payment of interest and principal on the general long-term debt of the City.
Capital Project Funds are used to account for financial resources to be used for the acquisition or
construction of major capital facilities (other than those financed by Proprietary Funds or Trust
Funds).
PROPRIETARY FUND TYPES
Enterprise Funds are used to account for operations of the City (a) that are financed and operated
in a manner similar to private business enterprises, where the intent is to provide goods or services
to the general public on a continuing basis, the cost of which is to be recovered in whole or pan
through user charges; or (b) where the governing body has decided that periodic determination of
revenues earned, expenses incurred, and/or net income is appropriate for capital maintenance,
public policy, management control, accountability, or other purposes.
Internal Service Fund is used to account for the financing of goods and services provided by one
department or agency to other departments or agencies of the City, or to other governments, on a
user charge basis.
FIDUCIARY FUND TYPES
Transactions related to assets held by the City in a trustee capacity or as an agent for individuals,
private organizations, other governments and other funds, are accounted for in fiduciary fund
types. Fiduciary fund types are comprised of.
Expendable Trust Funds account for assets received and expended by the City as trustee in
essentially the same manner as governmental fund types.
Agency Funds are used to account for assets held by the City as a custodial trustee. They are
accounted for on the modified accrual basis of accounting with respect to asset and liability
recognition, but do not have a measurement focus since agency funds do not account for
operations.
ACCOUNT GROUPS
General Fixed Assets Account Group represents a summary of the fixed assets of the City, other
than those fixed assets reported in the Proprietary Funds. Capital expenditures of the Capital
Projects Fund are the primary source from which the detailed records of the general fixed assets
account group are developed. Capital expenditures are carried in this account group as
construction in progress until the projects are completed and are then capitalized by function and
classification.
32
Ea
CITY OF LUBBOCK, TEXAS
Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2000
NOTE I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
B. BASIS OF PRESENTATION - FUND ACCOUNTING (CONTINUED)
Infrastructure fixed assets such as streets, highways, bridges, sidewalks, street lighting, traffic poles
and signals, and storm sewers, are accounted for in the General Fixed Assets Account Group and
reported in the Schedule of General Fixed Assets.
General fixed assets are not depreciated and are recorded at historical cost at the time of
acquisition. Donated assets are recorded at their fair market value on the date donated.
General Long -Term Debt Account Group is used to account for the City's liability for general
long-term debt such as general obligation bonds, certificates of obligation, and obligations for
employee vacation, sick -leave benefits, insurance claims and rebatable arbitrage, other than those
reported in the Proprietary Funds.
C. BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The modified accrual basis of accounting and the flow of current financial resources measurement
focus is followed for governmental fund types and expendable trust funds. Under this basis of
accounting, expenditures, other than interest on long-term debt in the Debt Service Fund, which is
recorded when due, are recorded when the liability is incurred. Revenues are recorded when
received in cash unless susceptible to accrual. Revenues under the modified accrual basis must be
both measurable and available to finance current year appropriations. Revenues considered to be
susceptible to accrual under the modified accrual basis are property tax, sales tax, franchise tax,
hotel/motel tax, certain grant revenue and investment income. The accrual basis of accounting
and the flow of economic resources is followed in the enterprise funds and internal service funds.
Under this method of accounting, revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are
recorded when a liability is incurred.
Under the current financial resources measurement focus, only current assets and current liabilities
are included on the balance sheet. Net current assets or fund balance is considered a measure of
available spendable resources. The flow of financial resources measurement focus is concerned
primarily with the measure of interperiod equity (e.g. whether current year revenues were
sufficient to pay for current year services).
Enterprise funds and internal service funds are accounted for using an economic resource
measurement focus. All assets and liabilities including fixed assets and long-term debt are included
on the balance sheet. Fund equity is segregated into its contributed capital and retained earnings
components. Proprietary fund type operating statements present increases (revenues) and decreases
(expenses) in net total assets.
D. BUDGETARY ACCOUNTING
Annual budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles for
all governmental funds except for special revenue funds, debt service funds, and capital project
funds, which adopt project -length budgets. All annual appropriations lapse at fiscal year end.
Annually, the City Manager submits to City Council a proposed operating budget for the
upcoming fiscal year. Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comments, and the budget
is legally enacted through passage of an ordinance by the City Council.
Budgetary control is maintained by department and by the following category of expenditures:

NOTE I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
D. BUDGETARY ACCOUNTING (CONTINUED)
not exceed budgeted appropriations at the fund level. Budgeted amounts shown are from the
revised budget, adopted by resolution on June 8, 2000. During the year, the budget was revised to
reflect a 2.6% increase in General Fund operating revenues and a .18% decrease for the General
Fund operating expenditures from the original budget. 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 fiscal 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 revised budget process, budgets may be re-established. On October 1, 2000, the General Fund
had no significant amounts of open encumbrances.
F. ASSETS LIABILITIES AND FUND EQUITY
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 that reflect each fund's equity in the pooled account. GASB Statement No. 31,
Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools
became effective for the year September 30, 1998. This statement requires certain investments to
be carried at fair value with the change in fair value included in the determination of investment
income shown in the operating statement. At September 30, 2000, the difference between
amortized cost and market value was not significant such that the carrying value of the portfolio is
considered to approximate fair market value.
Cash and 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 - Property taxes are assessed and liens attach on valuations as of January
1, levied on October 1 of each year, and become delinquent February 1 of the following year.
Uncollected taxes, net of the estimated uncollectible amount, are recorded as receivable in the
General, Special Revenue and Debt Service Funds. Deferred revenue is recorded in an amount
equal to net delinquent taxes receivable, less taxes collected within 60 days after the end of the
fiscal year.
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.

NOTE I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
F. ASSETS, LIABILITIES AND FUND EQUITY (CONTINUED)
Restricted Assets - Certain enterprise fund assets are restricted for construction which has been
funded through long-term debt, therefore, retained earnings have not been reserved for these
amounts. The excess of other restricted assets over related liabilities are included as retained
earnings reserved for capital projects, rate stabilization, economic development and bond
indentures.
Fixed Assets and Depreciation - General fixed assets are not capitalized in the funds used to
acquire or construct them. Instead, capital acquisition and construction are reflected as
expenditures in Governmental Funds, and the related assets are reported in the General Fixed
Assets Account Group. All purchased fixed assets are recorded at cost. Donated assets are recorded
at the fair value on the date of donation. Assets in the General Fixed Assets Account Group are
not depreciated. Property, plant and equipment of the Proprietary Funds are stated at con or
estimated market value for donated assets. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method
over the estimated useful lives as follows:
Improvements 10-50 years
Buildings 15-50 years
Equipment 3-15 years
Interest Capitalization - The City capitalizes interest cost in its Enterprise Funds on bonds used
for fixed asset construction, net of interest income earned on the temporary investment of the tax-
exempt bond proceeds. Interest costs incurred during the year were approximately $16,800,000.
No interest was capitalized during the year ended September 30, 2000.
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. These are equally offset by a fund balance reserve
amount in the governmental funds, which indicates they do not constitute available spendable
resources.
G. RISK MANAGEMENT
The City is primarily self -insured for medical and dental coverage. The liability for incurred claims
represents estimates for medical and dental claims incurred as of September 30, 2000. Some of
these claims were reported at September 30, 2000, and others which are incurred but not reported
(IBNR), may not be reported until a later date. IBNR is actuarially determined by the City's
independent insurance administrator. In order to mitigate the risk associated with the City's
medical coverage, the City purchased individual stop loss coverage of $150,000.
In April 1999, the City purchased worker's compensation coverage from a third party. Prior to
April 1999, the City was self insured for worker's compensation claims. Any claims outstanding in
April 1999 are the responsibility of the City. The insurance purchased from the third party
insurer covers worker's compensation claims from the initial dollar.
The City's self -insured general liability program is on a cash flow basis, which means that the
service contractor processes, adjusts and pays claims from a deposit provided by the City. The City
accounts for the general liability program in the Risk Management Fund (an Internal Service Fund)
by charging premiums based upon losses, administrative fees and reserve requirements. In order to
control the risks associated with general liability claims, the City purchased reinsurance coverage
for claims in excess of $250,000.
For self -insured coverage, the Risk Management Fund established claim liabilities based on
estimates of the ultimate cost of claims (including future claim adjustment expenses) that have been
35

Notes to Financial Statements

NOTE I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
G. RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)
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. Estimated
amounts of salvage and subrogation and reinsurance recoverable on unpaid claims are deducted
from the liability for unpaid claims. 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 general 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 $100,000
dependent upon the unit. Premiums are charged to funds based upon policy premiums and reserve
payments.
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.
H. REVENUES EXPENSES AND EXPENDITURES
Interest Income on pooled cash and investments is allocated monthly based on the percentage of a
fund's average daily equity in pooled cash and investments to the total average daily pooled equity
in pooled cash and investments, except for certain Trust and Agency Funds, certain Special
Revenue Funds, Governmental Capital Project Funds, and certain Internal Service Funds.
The interest income on pooled cash and investments of these fonds is reported in the General
Fund or the Debt Service Fund.
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 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 loth 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.
Grant Revenue from federal and state grants is recognized to the extent that the related
expenditure has been incurred and reimbursement 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.
Nonrecurring or nonroutine permanent transfers of equity are reported as residual equity
transfers. All other interfund transactions except quasi -external transactions, reimbursements,
temporary receivables and payables, and residual equity transfers are reported as operating
transfers.

H. REVENUES EXPENSES AND EXPENDITURES (CONTINUED)
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 '/a 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 termination at the current hourly rate for up to 90 days. Upon
retirement or termination, 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. The 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 general long-term debt
account group for governmental fund employees and as a noncurrent liability in the proprietary
funds for proprietary fund employees. Management has determined that the current portion of
this liability is not significant to the overall financial position of the City.
Post Employment Benefits for retirees of the City of Lubbock include the option to purchase
health and life insurance benefits at their own expense. Amounts to cover premiums and
administrative costs, with an incremental charge for reserve funding, are determined by the City's
health care administrator. Employer contributions are funded on a pay-as-you-go basis. Financial
activity is reported in the Health Insurance Internal Service Fund. The following schedule reflects

NOTE II. STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY
A. RETAINED EARNINGS/FUND BALANCE DEFICITS
The deficit of $70,757 in the Library Expendable Trust 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, 2000,
which is consistent with the revenue recognition required by the modified accrual basis of
accounting.
The deficit of $41,908 in the Community Services Expendable Trust 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 considered measurable at
September 30, 2000, which is consistent with the revenue recognition required by the modified
accrual basis of accounting.
The deficit of $449,474 in the Police Expenditures 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 considered measurable at September 30, 2000,
which is consistent with the revenue recognition required by the modified accrual basis of
accounting.
The deficit of $392,886 in Other Grant is the result of timing differences arising between the
incurrence of expenditures and the related filing of requests for reimbursement of those
expenditures. These funds have not been accrued, as certain reimbursement amounts are not
considered measurable at September 30, 2000, which is consistent with the revenue recognition
required by the modified accrual basis of accounting.
The deficit in the Golf Enterprise Fund of $1,812,264 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 City's
operations. The management agreement is effective through December 31, 2014. Over the term of
the contract, Fore Star Golf, Inc. will receive a portion of the golf course revenues based on a
sliding scale.
The deficit of $1,098,454 in the Internal Service Management Information Fund results from the
practice of not recovering depreciation through user charges. Management is evaluating user
charges in order to recover depreciation, financing and capital costs, and the retained earnings
deficit.
The deficit of $339,751 in the Internal Service Communications Fund results from the practice of
not recovering depreciation through user charges. Management is evaluating user charges in order
to recover depreciation and recover the retained earnings deficit.

The total deferred charges of $11,717,554 includes $3,877,778 which represents an advertising
contract with the United Spirit Arena. The advertising will begin with the opening of the sports
arena and will continue for 30 years. Amortization of this amount began in fiscal 2000 with the
opening of the arena.
The deferred charges also include an amount of $1,941,194 at September 30, 2000, which represents
prepayments for two separate contracts for future delivery of natural gas as contracted for by the
City. In 1988, 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. The remaining amount of
prepayment relative to this contract at September 30, 2000 is $1,643,133. 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 SJ8 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, 2000 and 1999, 1,317,934

During fiscal 2000, $3,000,000 was transferred to the Management Information Internal Service
Fund from the Electric Enterprise Fund to cover costs of implementing a new utility billing
system. This amount will be amortized over 7 seven years once the new billing system has been

E. RETIREMENT PLANS
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 RETIREMENT 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 of 731 administered by TMRS, an agent multiple -employer public employee
retirement system.
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 the 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 10 or more years of service or with 25 years of
service regardless of age. A member is vested after 10 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. December 31, 1999 valuation is
effective for rates beginning January 2001).

LUBBOCK FIREMEN'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 of Lubbock 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 years of service. A partially vested benefit is provided for firefighters who
terminate employment with at least 10 but less than 20 years 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 Plan Effective November 1, 1999 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 $283.50 per month for each year of service in excess of 20 years.
A partially vested benefit is provided for firefighters who terminate employment with at least 10
but less than 20 years of service. The Plan Effective November 1, 1999 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 $283.50 per month for each year of service in excess
of 20 years.
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
1. 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.
2. While the contribution requirements are not actuarially determined, state law requires that each
plan of benefits adopted by the fund must be approved by an eligible 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 the plan's normal cost contribution rate is
determined as a percentage of payroll. The excess of the total contribution rate over the normal
cost contribution rate is used to amortize the plan's unfunded actuarial accrued liability, and the
number of years needed to amortize the plan's unfunded actuarial liability is determined using a
level percentage of payroll method.
The costs of administering the plan are financed from the trust.
3. The funding policy of the Lubbock Firefighter's Relief and Retirement Fund requires
contributions equal to 11% of pay by the firefighters and contributions by the City based on a
formula which causes the City's contribution rate to fluctuate from year to year. The December
31, 1998 actuarial valuation (most recent) assumes that the City's contributions will average 15% of
payroll in the future.
Annual Pension Cost
For the fiscal year ending September 30, 2000, the City of Lubbock's annual pension cost of
S1,852,835 for the Lubbock Firefighter's Relief and Retirement Fund was equal to the City's
required and actual contributions during the year. While the required contributions were not
actuarially determined, the plan of benefits has been approved by the Board's actuary as having an
adequate financing arrangement based on the level of the firefighter and City of Lubbock
contribution rates. The funding policy of the fund requires the firefighters to contribute 11% of
pay and the City to contribute based on a formula which causes the City contribution rate to
fluctuate from year to year. These required contributions were reflected in the the December 31,
1998, (most recent) actuarial valuation, which satsified the parameters of the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 27.

The entry age actuarial cost method was used, with the normal cost calculated as a level percentage
of payroll. The actuarial value of assets was determined based on a five-year smoothed fair -market
value of assets. The actuarial assumptions included an investment return assumption of 8.5 % per
year (net of administrative expenses), projected salary increases including promotion and longevity
averaging 6% per year over a 25 year career, and no postretirement cost -of -living adjustments. An
inflation assumption of 4% per year is included in the investment return and salary increase
assumptions. The unfunded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL) is amortized with the excess of the
assumed total contribution rate over the normal cost rate. The number of years needed to
amortize the UAAL is determined using an open, level percentage of payroll method, assuming
that the payroll will increase 4% per year, and was 30 years as of the December 31, 1998 (most
recent) actuarial valuation based on the plan provisions effective November 1, 1999.

F. DEFERRED COMPENSATION
All" The City offers its employees three deferred compensation plans created 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.
Effective August 20, 1996, the laws governing IRC Section 457 deferred compensation plans were
changed to state that new IRC Section 457 plans will not be considered eligible plans unless all
assets and income of the plan are held in trust for the exclusive benefit of the participants and their
beneficiaries. Existing plans are required to comply with the new requirement by January 1, 1999.
In response to the law changes, the GASB issued Statement No. 32, Accounting and Financial
Reporting for Internal Revenue Code Section 457 Deferred Compensation Plans. This statement
requires that the City's deferred compensation plans be reported in the financial statements as an
expendable trust fund. In management's opinion, the level of administrative services provided by
City staff warrants inclusion of the plans in the financial statements as such. The provisions of this
statement were implemented in fiscal 1999 and resulted in a transfer from the Deferred
Compensation agency fund to the Deferred Compensation expendable trust fund of $9,572,548.
The amount transferred is reported as an adjustment to beginning fund balance of the Deferred
Compensation expendable trust fund.
G. SURFACE WATER SUPPLY
Canadian River Municipal Water Authority
The Canadian River Municipal Water Authority (CRMWA) 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, 2000, the Board was comprised of 18 members, two of which represented the City
of Lubbock.
The City contracted with the CRMWA to reimburse it for a portion of the cost of the Canadian
e. 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 are not general obligations of
the City. The City's pro rats share of annual fixed and variable operating and reserve assessments
is recorded as an expense of obtaining surface water.
Prior to fiscal 1999, the long-term 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
r+ 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
Reclamation via 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 of Reclamation 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. 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.

G. SURFACE WATER SUPPLY (CONTINUED)
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 facilities known as Lake Alan Henry. The 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 million.
The 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. The City will receive surface water for the
payments to BRA. Approximately $293,000 was paid to the BRA for maintenance and operating
costs in fiscal year 2000.
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 III. 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.
At September 30, 2000, certain mineral rights associated with land located in the Lake Alan Henry
site owned by individuals had not been acquired by the City. The additional amount needed to
purchase such mineral rights is yet to be determined.
H. 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.

M. LANDFILL CLOSURE AND POSTCLOSURE CARE COST
State and federal laws and regulations require the City to place a final cover on its landfill sites
when it stops accepting waste to perform certain maintenance and monitoring functions at the
57
C0
CITY OF LUBBOCK, TEXAS
Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2000
NOTE III. DETAIL NOTES ON ALL FUNDS AND ACCOUNT GROUPS
M. LANDFILL CLOSURE AND POSTCLOSURE CARE COST (CONTINUED)
sites for thirty years after closure. Although closure and postclosure care costs will be paid only
near or after the date that the landfill stops accepting waste, the City reports a portion of these
closure and postclosure costs as an opening expense in each period based on landfill capacity used
as of each balance sheet date.
The $5,918,343 reported as landfill closure and postclosure care liability at September 30, 2000,
represents the cumulative amount expensed by the City to date of $8,521,170 less amount paid for
closure of certain cells based on the use of over 90 percent of the estimated capacity of the landfill
registered under TNRCC permit number 69. This amount includes a reduction of cumulative
expense of $464,816 due to a change in estimate of cumulative capacity used at September 30, 2000.
The City will recognize the remaining estimated cost of closure and postclosure care of $799,904 as
the remaining estimated capacity is filled. These amounts are based on what it would cost to
perform all closure and postclosure care in 2000. The City expects to close the landfill in the year
2001. Actual cost may be higher due to inflation, changes in technology, or changes in regulations.
The City has a second landfill {TNRCC permit number 2252) which effectively began accepting
solid waste during fiscal 2000. Current closure and post -closure care costs have been estimated to
be approximately $21,800,000, of which approximately $57,000 was recognized in fiscal 2000. The
City expects this landfill to have a life in excess of 80 years based on current estimates of use.
Actual cost may be higher due to inflation, changes in technology, or changes in regulations.
�j.
The City is required by state and federal laws and regulations to provide assurance that financial
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 cons through normal operations.
NOTE IV. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
A. FEDERAL GRANTS
In the normal course of operations, the City receives grant funds from various Federal and state
agencies. The grant programs 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 grants is not believed to be material.
B. LITIGATION
The City is involved in lawsuits arising in the normal course of business, including claims for
property damage, personal injury 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 City's financial position as of September 30, 2000.

C. SITE REMEDIATION
The City has identified specific locations requiring site retnediation relative to underground fuel
Storage tanks. The potential exposure is not readily determinable as of September 30, 2000. In the
opinion of management, the ultimate liability will not have a materially adverse effect on the
City's financial position.
D. WEST TEXAS MUNICIPAL POWER AUTHORITY
In fiscal 1998, the West Texas Municipal Power Authority ("WTMPA") issued $28,910,000 of
WTMPA Revenue Bonds, Series 1998 maturing in February of 2018. These bonds are secured by
the net revenues of certain power sales contracts with participating cities of which the City of
Lubbock 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 participating cities are required under a debt service
guarantee provision of the agreement, to provide funds sufficient to cover any debt service deficit
to the extent of their respective participation percentages. The City's percentage share in this
agreement is 85.21%. During the year ended September 30, 2000, the City was not required to pay
amounts under this provision. At September 30, 2000, the City had accounts receivable of
approximately $3.1 million from WTMPA.
NOTE V. RECENTLY ISSUED PRONOUNCEMENTS
At September 30, 2000, the GASB had issued several statements that have not required
implementation by the City of Lubbock. The statement that may impact the City is as follows:
GASB Statement No. 36, "Recipient Reporting for Certain Shared Non -exchange Revenues — an
amendment of GASB Statement No. 33", issued April 2000, will be effective simultaneously with
Statement No. 33. Statement No. 36 eliminates a timing difference by requiring recipient
governments to account for the sharing of revenues in the same manner as provider governments.
Management does not anticipate any significant adverse effects on the City's financial position or
results of operations as a result of the implementation of this Statement.

IN REGARD to the authorization and issuance of the "City of Lubbock, Texas, General
Obligation Bonds, Series 2001" (the "Bonds"), dated February 1, 2001 (the "Bond Date"), in the
principal amount of $9,100,000, 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 have stated
maturities of February 15 in each of the years 2002 through 2021, unless redeemed prior to maturity
in accordance with applicable redemption provisions. The Bonds bear interest on the unpaid
principal amount from the Bond Date at the rates per annum stated in the ordinance authorizing
their issuance (the "Ordinance"), and such interest is payable on February 15 and August 15 in
each year, commencing February 15, 2002, to the registered owners shown on the registration
books of the Paying Agent/Registrar on the Record Date (stated on the face of the Bonds).
WE HAVE SERVED AS BOND COUNSEL for the City 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 with
respect to the exclusion of the interest on the Bonds from gross income for federal income tax
purposes and none other. We have not been requested to investigate or verify, and have not
independently investigated or verified, any records, data or other material relating to the financial
condition or capabilities of the City. Our examinations into the legality and validity of the Bonds
included a review of the applicable and pertinent provisions of the Constitution and laws of the State
of Texas, a transcript of certified proceedings of the City relating to the authorization and issuance
of the Bonds, including the Ordinance, customary certifications and opinions of officials of the City
and other pertinent showings, and an examination of the Bond executed and delivered initially by
the City, which we found to be in due form and properly executed.
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 the Bonds 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 in 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 the general principles
of equity.
2. Assuming continuing compliance after the date hereof by the City with the
provisions of the Ordinance and in reliance upon representations and certifications

Re: "City of Lubbock, Texas, General Obligation Bonds, Series 2001 ", dated February 1, 2001
of the City made in a certificate of even date herewith pertaining to the use,
expenditure, and investment of the proceeds of the Bonds, interest on the Bonds for
federal income tax purposes (a) will be excludable from gross income, as defined
in section 61 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended to the date hereof
(the "Code"), of the owners thereof pursuant to section 103 of the Code and existing
regulations, published rulings, and court decisions thereunder, and (b) will not be
included in computing the alternative minimum taxable income of individuals or,
except as hereinafter described, corporations.
Interest on all tax-exempt obligations, such as the Bonds, owned by a corporation will be
included in such corporation's adjusted current earnings for purposes of calculating the alternative
minimum taxable income of such corporation, other than an S corporation, a qualified mutual fund,
a real estate mortgage investment conduit, a real estate investment trust or a financial asset
securitization investment trust. A corporation's alternative minimum taxable income is the basis on
which the alternative minimum tax imposed by the section 55 of the Code will be computed.
WE EXPRESS NO 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, individual recipients of Social Security or Railroad Retirement Benefits, individuals otherwise
qualifying for the earned income tax credit, owners of an interest in a financial asset securitization
investment trust 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.

multiple thereof (within a maturity), mature annually on February 15 in each of the years 2002
through 2021, unless redeemed prior to maturity in accordance with the redemption provisions
stated on the Certificates, and bear interest on the unpaid principal amountfrom the Certificate Date
at the rates per annum stated in the ordinance authorizing the issuance of the Certificates (the
"Ordinance"), such interest being payable on February 15 and August 15 in each year,
commencing February 15, 2002, to the registered owners shown on the registration books of the
Paying Agent/Registrar on the Record Date (stated on the face of the Certificates).
WE HAVE SERVED AS BOND COUNSEL for the City solely to pass upon the legality and
validity of the issuance of the Certificates under the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas, and
with respect to the exclusion of the interest on the Certificates from gross income for federal income
tax purposes and none other. We have not been requested to investigate or verify, and have not
independently investigated or verified, any records, data or other material relating to the financial
condition or capabilities of the City. Our examinations into the legality and validity of the Certificates
included a review of the applicable and pertinent provisions of the Constitution and laws of the State
of Texas, a transcript of certified proceedings of the City relating to the authorization and issuance
of the Certificates, including the Ordinance, customary certifications and opinions of officials of the
City and other pertinent showings, and an examination of the Certificate executed and delivered
initially by the City, which we found to be in due form and properly executed.
W
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:
W
1. The Certificates have been duly authorized by the City, and the
Certificates issued in compliance with the provisions of the Ordinance are valid,
legally binding and enforceable obligations of the City, payable from an ad valorem
tax levied, within the limits prescribed by law, upon all taxable property in the City
and additionally payable from and secured by a lien on and pledge of the Net
Revenues (as defined in the Ordinance) of the City's Solid Waste System in the
manner and to the extent provided in the Ordinance; 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 the general principles of equity.

Re: "City of Lubbock, Texas, Tax and Solid Waste System Surplus Revenue Certificates of
Obligation, Series 2001 ", dated February 1, 2001
2. Assuming continuing compliance after the date hereof by the City with the
provisions of the Ordinance and in reliance upon representations and certifications
of the City made in a certificate of even date herewith pertaining to the use,
expenditure, and investment of the proceeds of the Certificates, interest on the
Certificates for federal income tax purposes (a) will be excludable from gross
income, as defined in section 61 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
to the date hereof (the "Code"), of the owners thereof pursuant to section 103 of the
Code and existing regulations, published rulings, and court decisions thereunder,
and (b) will not be included in computing the alternative minimum taxable income of '
individuals or, except as hereinafter described, corporations.
Interest on all tax-exempt obligations, such as the Certificates, owned by a corporation will
be included in such corporation's adjusted current earnings for purposes of calculating the
alternative minimum taxable income of such corporations, other than an S corporation, a qualified
mutual fund, a real estate mortgage investment conduit, a real estate investment trust, 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.
WE EXPRESS NO 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 Certificates. Ownership of tax-exempt
obligations such as the Certificates 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 interest in a FASIT, 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.

OFFICIAL STATEMENT
RELATING TO
$9,100,000
CITY OF LUBBOCK, TEXAS
GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS, SERIES 2001
AND
$2,770,000
CITY OF LUBBOCK, TEXAS
TAX AND SOLID WASTE SYSTEM SURPLUS REVENUE
CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION, SERIES 2001
INTRODUCTION
This Official Statement, which includes the Appendices hereto, provides certain information regarding the issuance of
$9,100,000 City of Lubbock, Texas, General Obligation Bonds, Series 2001 and $2,770,000 City of Lubbock, Texas, Tax and
Solid Waste System Surplus Revenue Certificates of Obligation, Series 2001 (collectively, the "Obligations"). Capitalized terms ^ used in this Official Statement have the same meanings assigned to such terms in the Bond Ordinance or the Certificate
Ordinance, as the case may be, to be adopted on the date of sale of the Obligations which will authorize the issuance of the
Obligations, except as otherwise indicated herein.
There follows in this Official Statement descriptions of the Obligations and certain information regarding the City and its
finances. All descriptions of documents contained herein are only summaries and are qualified in their entirety by reference to
each such document. Copies of such documents may be obtained from the City's Financial Advisor, First Southwest Company,
Dallas, Texas.
DESCRIPTION OF THE CITY ... The City is a political subdivision and municipal corporation of the State, duly organized and
existing under the laws of the State, including the City's Home Rule Charter. The City was incorporated in 1909, and first
adopted its Home Rule Charter in 1917. The City operates under a Coun ci ]/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 terms 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 1990 Census population for the City was 186,206; the estimated 2000 population was 199,445. The City covers
approximately 115 square miles.
THE OBLIGATIONS
DESCRIPTION OF THE OBLIGATIONS .'The Obligations are dated February 1, 2001, and mature on February 15 in each of the
years and in the amounts shown on the cover page 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 of each year, commencing February 15, 2002. The definitive
Obligations 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 ("DTC") pursuant to the
Book -Entry -Only System described herein. No physical delivery of the Obligations will be made to the owners thereof.
Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Obligations 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 Obligations. See "Book -Entry -Only System" herein.
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., Government Code, Chapter 1331, as amended; and the Bond Ordinance. The Bonds are the second
installment from a voted authorization of $37,385,000 in principal amount of bonds approved at an election held in the City on
September 18, 1999. See Table l I herein for a description of the authorized purpose for the bonds approved at said election.
The Certificates are being issued pursuant to the Constitution and general laws of the State of Texas, particularly Subchapter C of
Chapter 271, Texas Local Government Code (the Certificate of Obligation Act of 1971), as amended, and the Certificate Ordinance.
10
SOURCE AND SECURITY OF PAYMENT — THE BONDS ... All taxable property within the City is subject to a continuing direct
annual ad valorem tax levied by the City, within the limit prescribed by law, to provide for the payment of principal of and
interest on all Bonds.
SOURCE AND SECURITY OF PAYMENT — THE CERTIFICATES ... The Certificates are payable from the proceeds of an ad valorem
tax levied, within the limitations prescribed by law, upon all taxable property in the City and are additionally payable from and
secured by a lien on and pledge of the Net Revenues (as defined in the Certificate Ordinance) of the City's Solid Waste System
(the "System"), such lien and pledge, however, being junior and subordinate to the lien on and pledge of the Net Revenues of the
System securing the payment of "Prior Lien Obligations" (as defined in the Certificate Ordinance) now outstanding and hereafter
issued.
In the Certificate Ordinance, the City reserves and retains the right to issue Prior Lien Obligations while the Certificates are
Outstanding without limitation as to principal amount but subject to any terms, conditions or restrictions as may be applicable
thereto under law or otherwise, as well as the right to issue additional tax and revenue obligations payable from ad valorem taxes
and additionally payable from and secured by a parity lien on and pledge of the Net Revenues of the System of equal rank and
dignity with the lien and pledge securing the payment of the Certificates.
The City currently has outstanding one series of "Prior Lien Obligations" designated "City of Lubbock, Texas , Tax and Solid
�. Waste Disposal System Revenue Certificates of Obligation, Series 1991", dated May 15, 1991, with unpaid principal of
$110,000 and with a final maturity on February 15, 2001.
POSSIBLE AVOIDANCE OF PLEDGED PAYMENT SOURCES IN BANKRUPTCY... Texas has adopted the 1998 revisions to Article 9
of the Uniform Commercial Code (the "UCC"), to become effective July 1, 2001. The revisions would for the first time provide
means to perfect pledges by government entities and, in addition, would make unperfected pledges subject to the interests of a
bankruptcy trustee, whether or not the pledged collateral is exempt from judicial liens. Security interests arising before July 1,
"+ 2001 that are not perfected by July 1, 2002 will be considered unperfected pledges. For a number of reasons, it will be
impractical and perhaps impossible to perfect the City's pledge of ad valorem taxes (with respect to the Bonds and the
Certificates) and the pledge of the surplus net revenues of the Solid Waste System (with respect to the Certificates) under the
revised Article 9. In proceedings for the adjustments of their debts under the Bankruptcy Code, municipalities are generally
authorized to exercise the powers of a bankruptcy trustee. Accordingly, after July 1, 2002, it is likely that the City could avoid
its pledges made in the Ordinances to secure payments of the Obligations, unless the Texas UCC is further amended, or other
statutes are enacted, to avoid this result. Since the pledges may be legally unenforceable in the circumstances in which it would
' be most valuable, no person should rely upon the pledge as providing asset security or a preference right in the event that the
City should become insolvent.
Even under the 1998 UCC revisions, the rights of holders with respect to the pledged payment sources under the Ordinances, and
other covenants of the City made in the Ordinance are valid and enforceable except in the event of bankruptcy. Thus, for
example, outside of the occurrence of municipal bankruptcy, bondholders may enforce the obligation of the City to apply the
pledged sources to pay holders of the Obligations, as described above (see "The Obligations — Security and Source of Payment --
The Bonds" and "The Obligations — Security and Source of Payment -- The Certificates"). Moreover, the City is aware that
proposed legislation has been introduced for consideration by the Texas Legislature in the legislative session that begin January
9, 2001 to amend Texas law to avoid the results of the adoption of the 1998 UCC revisions mentioned above. No assurance can
be given, however, that any such legislation will be adopted by the Texas Legislature.
TAx RATE LIMITATION ... All taxable property within the City is subject to the assessment, levy and collection by the City of a
J continuing, direct annual ad valorem tax to provide funds for the operation of the City and for the payment of principal of and
interest on all ad valorem tax debt within the limit prescribed by law. Article XI, Section 5, of the Texas Constitution is
applicable to the City, and limits its maximum ad valorem tax rate to $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 Obligations having stated maturities on and
or�' after February 15, 2011, in whole or in part in principal amounts of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof, on February 15,
2010, or any date thereafter, at the par value thereof plus accrued interest to the date of redemption. If less than all of the
Obligations are to be redeemed, the City may select the maturities of Obligations to be redeemed. If less than all the Obligations
of any maturity are to be redeemed, the Paying Agent/Registrar (or DTC while the Obligations are in Book -Entry -Only form)
shall determine by lot the Obligations, or portions thereof, within such maturity to be redeemed. If an Obligation (or any portion
of the principal sum thereof) shall have been called for redemption and notice of such redemption shall have been given, such (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.
11
AW
NOTICE OF REDEMPTION... Not less than 30 days prior to a redemption date for the Obligations, 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 Obligations 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 CONCLUSIVELY PRESUMED TO HAVE BEEN DULY GIVEN, WHETHER OR NOT THE
REGISTERED OWNER RECEIVES SUCH NOTICE. NOTICE HAVING BEEN SO GIVEN, THE OBLIGATIONS CALLED
FOR REDEMPTION SHALL BECOME DUE AND PAYABLE ON THE SPECIFIED REDEMPTION DATE, AND
NOTWITHSTANDING THAT ANY OBLIGATION OR PORTION THEREOF HAS NOT BEEN SURRENDERED FOR
PAYMENT, INTEREST ON SUCH OBLIGATION OR PORTION THEREOF SHALL CEASE TO ACCRUE.
DEFEASANCE ... The respective Ordinances provide for the defeasance of the Bond or Certificates, as the case may be, when
the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, on the Bonds or Certificates, as the case may be, plus interest thereon to the
due date thereof (whether such due date be by reason of maturity, redemption, or otherwise), is provided by irrevocably
depositing with a paying agent, in trust (1) money sufficient to make such payment or (2) Defeasance 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, and all necessary and proper
fees, compensation and expenses of the paying agent for the Bonds or Certificates, as the case may be. The respective
Ordinances provide that "Government Obligations" 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, 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 firm not less than AAA or its equivalent. Upon making such deposit in the manner described, the Obligations
shall no longer be outstanding obligations secured by the Bond Ordinance or Certificate Ordinance, as the case may be, 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 purpose other than to receive payment from the funds and Government Securities deposited in escrow.
AMENDMENTS ... The City may amend the respective Ordinances 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 respective issue of the Obligations then outstanding affected thereby, amend, add to, or rescind any of
the provisions of the Ordinances; except that, without the consent of the registered owners of all of the Obligations affected, no
such amendment, addition or rescission may (1) change the date specified as the date on which the principal of any installment of
interest on any Obligation is due payable, reduce the principal amount or maturity value thereof or the rate of interest thereon,
change the place or places at or the coin or currency in which any Obligation or interest thereon is payable, or in any other way
modify the terms of the payment of the principal of or interest on the Obligations, (2) give any preference to any Obligation over
any other Obligation or (3) reduce the aggregate principal amount or maturity value of Obligations required for consent to any
amendment, addition or waiver. "
Boob -ENTRY -ONLY SYSTEM ... This section describes how ownership of the Obligations are to be transferred and how the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Obligations are to be paid to and credited by The Depository Trust Company
('DTC'), New York, New York, while the Obligations 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 completeness thereof.
The City cannot and does not give any assurance that (1) DTC will distribute payments of debt service on the Obligations, 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 Obligations), 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 Obligations. The Obligations will be issued as fully -registered securities registered
in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC's partnership nominee). One fully -registered certificate will be issued for each maturity of the
Obligations in the aggregate principal amount of each such maturity and will be deposited with DTC.
DTC 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 17A of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds securities that its participants ("Direct Participants") deposit with DTC. DTC also
facilitates the settlement among Participants of securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities
12
Go
through electronic computerized book -entry changes in Participants' accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical
movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing
corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is owned by a number of its Direct Participants and by the New York Stock
Exchange, Inc., the American Stock Exchange, Inc., and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Access to the DTC
system is also available to others such as securities brokers and dealers, banks, and trust companies that clear through or
maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly ("Indirect Participants"). The Rules
applicable to DTC and its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Purchases of Obligations under the DTC system must be made by or through DTC Participants, which will receive a credit for
such purchases on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Obligation ("Beneficial Owner") is in
turn to be recorded on the Direct or Indirect Participants' records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from
DTC of their purchase, but Beneficial Owners are expected to receive written confirmations providing details 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 interest in the Obligations are to be accomplished by entries made on the
books of Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing
their ownership interests in the Obligations, except in the event that use of the book -entry system described herein is
discontinued.
To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Obligations deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC's
partnership nominee, Cede & Co. The deposit of Obligations with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. effect
no change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Obligations; DTC's records
reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Obligations are credited, which may or may not be the
Beneficial Owners. The 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.
Redemption notices shall be sent to Cede & Co. If less than all of the Obligations within an issue are being redeemed, DTC's
practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such issue to be redeemed.
Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. will consent or vote with respect to the Obligations. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an
Omnibus Proxy to the City as soon as possible after the Record Date (hereinafter defined). The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede &
Co.'s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts the Obligations are credited on the Record Date
(identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy).
Principal and interest payments on the Obligations will be made to DTC. DTC's practice is to credit Direct Participants' accounts
on each payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC's records unless DTC has reason to believe that
it will not receive payment on such payable date. 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 in bearer form or registered
in "street name," and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, 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 principal and interest to
DTC is the responsibility of the City, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants shall be the responsibility of DTC,
and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners shall be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.
DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository with respect to the Obligations at any time by giving
reasonable notice to the City. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor securities depository is not obtained,
Obligations are required to be printed and delivered.
The City may decide to discontinue use of the system of book -entry transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository).
In that event, Obligations will be printed and delivered.
Use of Certain Terms in Other Sections of this Official Statement. In reading this Official Statement it should be understood
that while the Obligations 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 Obligations, 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.
,n 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.
13
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 Obligations will be issued to the holders and the
following provisions will be applicable to the Obligations. The Obligations may be exchanged for an equal aggregate principal
amount of the Obligations in authorized denominations and of the same maturity upon surrender thereof at the principal office
for payment of the Paying Agent/Registrar. The transfer of any Obligation may be registered on the books maintained by the
Paying Agent/Registrar for such purpose only upon the surrender of such Obligation to the Paying Agent/Registrar with a duly
executed assignment in form satisfactory to the Paying Agent/Registrar. For every exchange or transfer of registration of
Obligations, the Paying Agent/Registrar and the City may make a charge sufficient to reimburse them for any tax or other
governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such exchange or registration of transfer. The City shall pay the fee, if
any, charged by the Paying Agent/Registrar for the transfer or exchange. The Paying Agent/Registrar will not be required to
transfer or exchange any Obligation after its selection for redemption. The City and the Paying Agent/Registrar may treat the
person in whose name a Obligation is registered as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, whether such Obligation is
overdue or not, including for the purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on, such Obligation.
RECORD DATE FOR INTEREST PAYMENT ... The record date ("Record Date") for the interest payable on the Obligations 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 Obligation 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.
HOLDERS' REMEDIES ... The respective Ordinances do not establish specific events of default with respect to the Bonds or the
Certificates, as the case may be. Under State law there is no right to the acceleration of maturity of the Bonds or the Certificates,
as the case may be, upon the failure of the City to observe any covenant under the respective Ordinances. Although a registered
owner of Bonds or Certificates, as the case may be, could presumably obtain a judgment against the City if a default occurred in
the payment of principal of or interest on any such Bonds or Certificates, as the case maybe, 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 or Certificates, as the case may be, as it becomes due and, with respect to the
Certificates, to apply the surplus net revenues of the Solid Waste System to pay the Certificates. 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 respective Ordinances do not provide for the appointment of a trustee to represent the interests of the holders upon
any failure of the City to perform in accordance with the terms of the applicable 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. (See "The Obligations — Possible Avoidance of Pledged Payment Sources in Bankruptcy".) The opinions of Bond
Counsel will note that all opinions relative to the enforceability of the respective Ordinances and the Bonds and Certificates are
qualified with respect to the customary rights of debtors relative to their creditors.

TAX INFORMATION
An VALOREM 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 to 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 determining market value ofproperty, 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 for a tax year to an amount not to 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 for 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 purposes; and the procedures and
limitations applicable to the levy and collection of ad valorem taxes.
Article VIII of the State Constitution ("Article VIIP) 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 VIII, and State law, the governing body of a political subdivision, at its option, may grant: (1) 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 VIII provides that eligible owners of both agricultural land (Section 1-d) and open -space land (Section 1-d-1), including
open -space land devoted to farm 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-1.
Nonbusiness personal property, such as automobiles or light trucks, are exempt from ad valorem taxation unless the governing body
of a political subdivision elects to 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 purpose 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 to reversal.
The City and the other taxing bodies within its territory may agree to jointly create tax increment financing zones, under which the
tax values on property in the zone are "frozen" at the value of the property at the time of creation of the zone. The City also 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 turn 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 10
years.
16
EFFECTIVE TAX RATE AND ROLLBACK TAX RATE ... By each September I 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.
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 assess 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 I of each year.
Business inventory may, at the option of the taxpayer, be assessed as of September. 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.
.11, PENALTIES AND INTEREST ... Charges for penalty and interest on the unpaid balance of delinquent taxes are made as follows:

After July, penalty remains at 12%, and interest increases at the rate of 1% each month. In addition, if an account is delinquent
in July, a 15% attorney's collection fee is added to the total tax penalty and interest charge. 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 ar 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. s
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.
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 has adopted a tax abatement policy, as described below.
TAX ABATEMENT POLICY ... 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, the City has initiated 20
enterprise projects and tax abatements, principally in the northeast and southeast sections of the City. The amount and term of
abatement shall be determined on a case by case basis; however, in no event shall taxes be abated for a term in excess of ten (10)
years.
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING ZONE ... Together with other taxing units, the City participates in a Tax Increment District
("TID") pursuant to Chapter 311, Texas Tax Code, VTCA. The TID covers an approximately 0.71 square -mile area which
includes part of the central business district and adjacent areas of the City known as the Overton Addition and the Broadway
Corridor. The base taxable values of the TID are frozen at the level of taxable values for 1986, the year of creation. Any ad
valorem taxes relating to growth of the TID's tax base above the frozen base may be used only to finance improvements within n
the TID. The tax base for the TID for 1986 was $98,180,307; the 2000 taxable assessed value of property in the TID is less than
the tax base and there is no current tax increment.

ANTICIPATED ISSUANCE OF GENERAL OBLIGATION DEBT ... As described below, the City has identified certain capital projects
in its capital improvement plan that may be financed through the issuance of tax -supported debt over the next three years. In
2000, the City commissioned a feasibility study regarding various storm water drainage improvements to be made throughout
the City, and it is currently anticipated that the City will issue Combination Tax and Stormwater Revenue Certificates of
Obligation in the Spring of 2001 for the first phase of this project. It is estimated that the Certificates will be in the range of $25
to $35 million in principal amount. Phase two of the project, which could be issued in 2002 or 2003, would be funded by the
27
issuance of approximately $30 million of Combination Tax and Stormwater Revenue Certificates of Obligation. The debt for the
storm water drainage project is expected to be self-supporting from storm water fees collected by the City. In addition, the City
expects to issue approximately $6 million of Certificates of Obligation in the 2001-02 fiscal year to fund the City's share of right
of way acquisition costs for a freeway that will traverse the City from east to west. The City's current debt issuance plan also
includes an additional $8.125 million of Combination Tax and Solid Waste System Revenue Certificates of Obligation during
the 2001-02 and 2002-03 fiscal years to fund additional landfill closure costs, which the City expects to be self sufficient from
revenues provided by the Solid Waste System. The issuance plan includes approximately $7.9 million of Combination Tax and
Water and Sewer System Revenue Certificates of Obligation during the 2001-02 and 2002-03 fiscal years, which the City
expects to be self sufficient from revenues of the Water and Sewer System. Finally, the plan calls for the City to issue additional
General Obligation Bonds in the approximate amount of $19.8 million during the 2001-02 and 2002-03 fiscal years to fund a
portion of the projects for which the City has received authorization from the voters. See "Table 11 — Authorized but Unissued
General Obligation Bonds."

PENSION FUND ... TEXAS MUNICIPAL RETIREMENT SYSTEM (')(Z) . . . 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 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. Employee contribution rate is 6% of gross salary. Beginning October 11, 1997, employee contribution rate
is 7% of gross salary. The City's contribution rate is calculated each year using actuarial techniques applied to experience. The
1999 contribution rate was 14.27%. The 2000 contribution rate is 13.6%. 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, 1999, assets held by TMRS (not including those of the Supplemental Disability Fund, which is "pooled"), for
the City of Lubbock were $147,042,049. Unfunded accrued liabilities on December 31, 1999 were $34,397,608, which is being
amortized over a 25-year period beginning January, 1997. Total contributions by the City to the System for Calendar Year 1999
were $7,146,029.
FIREMEN'S RELIEF AND RETIREMENT FUND(')... City of Lubbock firefighters are members of the locally administered Lubbock
Firemen's Relief and Retirement Fund (the "FUND"), 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 `formula" 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 2000 was 16.02%.
As of December 31, 1998, unfunded pension benefit obligations were $7,168,633 which is being amortized over a 13 year period
beginning January 1, 1997.

(1) The presentation of the City's General Fund income statements in its audited financial statements was changed in 1997,
resulting in different categorizations of expenditure items.
(2) The City's financial policies provide for transfers to the General Fund from the City's enterprise funds. The policies
provide that the water, waste water and solid waste funds transfer an amount sufficient to cover the pro rata share of the
City's general and administrative expenses, an amount representing a franchise payment equal to 3% of gross receipts and
an amount representing a payment in lieu of ad valorem taxes. The Electric System makes transfers for the foregoing
purposes, and, in addition, makes a transfer reflecting the System's share of street lighting expense. The City's policies with
respect to enterprise fund transfers are subject to change. Among the factors that could affect the transfers to the General
Fund is the effect of increased competition on the City's electric utility that could occur due to the implementation of Senate
Bill 7, which mandates open competition in the provision of retail electric service in the State commencing January 1, 2002.
(3) The City's financial policies target a General Fund undesignated balance of at least two months of General Fund
expenditures. Amounts representing fund balances in excess of the target are reserved for future capital expenditures.

TABLE 14 - ]MUNICIPAL SALES TAX HISTORY
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 Obligations 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, after deduction of a 2% service fee, to the City monthly. Revenue from the City's
Local Sales and Use Tax, for the years shown, has been:

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
The City Council adopted a resolution during the 1984-85 budget process establishing permanent 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 9-30-01, the
City Council has approved $48,877,329 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, Storm Water System and Airport. The
Capital Projects Fund budget for 2000-2001 also identifies an additional $132,292,054 in future improvements, for all City
departments over the four succeeding fiscal years, including $36,385,000 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.
FINANCIAL POLICIES
Basis oJ' Accounting . . . The accounting policies of the City conform 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, 1999. The City's 2000
report will be submitted to GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate.
GASB 34 Implications for the City of Lubbock . . . In June 1999, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement No. 34, "Basic Financial Statements -- Management's Discussion and Analysis - for State and Local Governments".
The objective of this Statement is to enhance the clarity and usefulness of the general-purpose external financial reports of state
and local governments to the citizenry, legislative and oversight bodies, and investors and creditors. The City must implement
GASB 34 for its fiscal year ending September 30, 2002. While adoption of this Statement will alter the presentation of some
r�
,-s
30
financial information, management believes that there will be no material adverse impact to the City's financial position, results
of operation, or cash flows.
General Fund Balance ... The City's objective is to achieve and maintain a General Fund balance equivalent to two months
operating costs of the General Fund Budget. The City believes that such a reserve will be sufficient to provide financing for
necessary projects, unanticipated contingencies, and fluctuations in anticipated revenues.
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 enterprise fund for unforeseen contingencies. 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 the
System's rate stabilization fund 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 enterprise fund be operated in a manner that results in self
sufficiency, without the need for additional monetary transfers from other funds. Such self sufficiency is to be obtained through
the rates, fees and charges of each enterprise fund. 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:
1) Prior to August 1, 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 financial Report.
The City has received the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award from the GFOA for the following budget years beginning
October 1, 1983-88 and 1990-99. The City will submit the current budget to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another
award.
Insurance ... The City is self -insured for general liability and health benefits coverage, although it purchases reinsurance
coverage 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 9-30-00 the total Fund Equity of these insurance funds are as follows:
Self-insurance — health $ 6,858,161
Self-insurance — risk management $ 10,496,729

(1) As determined by Patterson & Associates, the City's investment adviser. As of such date, the market value of such investments
was approximately 100.00% of their book value. No funds of the City are invested in mortgage -backed securities. The City
holds all investments to maturity which minimizes the risk of market price volatility.
(2) Local government investment pools consist of entities with investment objectives that include achieving a stable net asset
value of $1.00 per share, including TexPool, a local government investment pool under the control of the Texas
Comptroller of Public Accounts. The Comptroller has engaged Chase Bank of Texas, and its affiliates, to provide
investment management and fund accounting services for TexPool. First Southwest Asset Management, Inc., an affiliate of
First Southwest Company, the City's Financial Adviser, provides customer service and marketing for TexPool.

in section 61 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 opinions is reproduced as Appendix C. The statute, regulations, rulings, and court decisions on which
such opinion is based are subject to change.
Interest on all tax-exempt obligations, including the Obligations, 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 Obligations pertaining to the use, expenditure, and investment of the proceeds of the
Obligations and will assume continuing compliance by the City with the provisions of the respective Ordinances subsequent to
the issuance of the Obligations. The respective Ordinances contain covenants by the City with respect to, among other matters,
the use of the proceeds of the Obligations and the facilities financed therewith by persons other than state or local governmental
units, the manner in which the proceeds of the Obligations 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 information to the United
States Treasury. Failure to comply with any of these covenants would cause interest on the Obligations to be includable in the
gross income of the owners thereof from date of the issuance of the Obligations.
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 Obligations. Prospective purchasers of the Bonds or Certificates, as the case may be, should be aware that the
ownership of tax-exempt obligations such as the Bonds or Certificates, as the case may be, 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 FASIT, 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 OBLIGATIONS ... The initial public offering price of
P^• certain Bonds or Certificates, as the case may be (the "Discount Obligations") may be less than the amount payable on such
Obligations at maturity. An amount equal to the difference between the initial public offering price of a Discount Obligation
(assuming that a substantial amount of the Bonds or Certificates, as the case may be, 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
Obligation. A portion of such original issue discount allocable to the holding period of such Discount Obligation by the initial
purchaser will, upon the disposition of such Discount Obligation (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 Obligations 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 Obligation, taking into account
the semiannual compounding of accrued interest, at the yield to maturity on such Discount Obligation 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 FASIT, 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. Moreover, in the event of the redemption, sale or other taxable disposition
of a Discount Obligation by the initial owner prior to maturity, the amount realized by such owner in excess of the basis of such
Discount Obligation in the hands of such owner (adjusted upward by the portion of the original issue discount allocable to the
period for which such Discount Obligation was held) is includable in gross income.
35
Owners of Discount Obligations should consult with their own tax advisors with respect to the determination of accrued original
issue discount on Discount Obligations for federal income tax purposes and with respect to the state and local tax consequences
of owning and disposing of Discount Obligations. It is possible that, under applicable provisions governing determination of
state and local income taxes, accrued interest on Discount Obligations 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 or Certificates, as the case may be, (the"Premium Obligations") may be greater
than the amount payable on such Obligations at maturity. An amount equal to the difference between the initial public offering
price of a Premium Obligation (assuming that a substantial amount of the Bonds or Certificates, as the case may be, 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 Obligations. The basis for federal income tax purposes of a Premium Obligation 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 Obligation. The amount of premium which is amortizable each year by an initial purchaser is determined by using
such purchaser's yield to maturity.
Purchasers of the Premium Obligations should consult with their own tax advisors with respect to the determination of
amortizable bond premium on Premium Obligations for federal income tax purposes and with respect to the state and local tax
consequences of owning and disposing of Premium Obligations.

OTHER INFORMATION
RATINGS
�, The Obligations have been rated "Aa2" by Moody's, "AA+" by S&P and "AA+" by Fitch. The City also has one issue
outstanding that is rated "Aaa" by Moody's and "AAA" by S&P through insurance by a commercial insurance company. 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 said companies, circumstances so warrant. Any such
downward revision or withdrawal of such ratings may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Obligations.
LITIGATION
It is the opinion of the City Attorney and City Staff that there is no pending litigation against the City that would have a material
adverse financial impact upon the City or its operations.
REGISTRATION AND QUALIFICATION OF OBLIGATIONS FOR SALE
The sale of the Obligations have 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 Obligations have not been qualified under the Securities Act of Texas
in reliance upon various exemptions contained therein; nor have the Obligations been qualified under the securities acts of any
jurisdiction. The City assumes no responsibility for qualification of the Obligations under the securities laws of any jurisdiction
in which the Obligations may be sold, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred. This disclaimer of
responsibility for qualification for sale or other disposition of the Obligations 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 FUNDS IN TEXAS
The Certificates. Section 251.051, Texas Local Government Code, provides that the Certificates are legal and authorized
investments for banks, savings banks, trust companies, building and loan associations, savings and loan associations, insurance
companies, fiduciaries, trustees and guardians, and for the sinking funds of municipalities, school districts, and other political
subdivisions or public agencies of the State of Texas. The Certificates are eligible to secure deposits of any public funds of the
state, municipalities, school districts, and other political subdivisions of the state, and are legal security for those deposits to the
extent of their market value.
The Bonds. 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. In addition, various provisions of the Texas Finance Code provide that,
subject to a prudence standard, the Bonds are legal investments for state banks, savings banks, trust companies with at least $1
million of capital, and savings and loan associations.
General Considerations. For political subdivisions in Texas that have adopted investment policies and guidelines in
accordance with the Public Funds Investment Act (V.T.C.A., Government Code, Chapter 2256), the Obligations may have to be
assigned a rating of "A" or its equivalent as to investment quality by a national rating agency before such obligations are eligible
investments for sinking funds and other public funds. The City has made no investigation of other laws, rules, regulations or
investment criteria which might apply to such institutions or entities or which might limit the suitability of the Obligations for
any of the foregoing purposes or limit the authority of such institutions or entities to purchase or invest in the Obligations for
such purposes. The City has made no review of laws in other states to determine whether the Obligations are legal investments
for various institutions in those states.
LEGAL OPINIONS AND NO -LITIGATION CERTIFICATE
The City will furnish a complete transcript of proceedings had incident to the authorization and issuance of the Obligations,
including the unqualified approving legal opinion of the Attorney General of Texas approving the Initial Bond or Certificate, as
the case may be, and to the effect that the Bonds or Certificates, as the case may be, are valid and legally binding obligations of
the City, and based upon examination of such transcript of proceedings, the approving legal opinion of Bond Counsel, to like
effect and to the effect that the interest on the Bonds or Certificates, as the case may be, will be excludable from gross income for
federal income tax purposes under Section 103(a) of the Code, subject to the matters described under "Tax Matters" herein,
including the alternative minimum tax on corporations. The customary closing papers, including a certificate to the effect that
no litigation of any nature has been filed or is then pending to restrain the issuance and delivery of the Obligations, or which
would affect the provision made for their payment or security, or in any manner questioning the validity of said Obligations will

GOVERNMENT AND MILITARY (1)
On March 1, 1995, the Secretary of the Air Force announced that Reese Air Force Base ("Reese"), a pilot training base located
adjacent to the City, was included in the list of bases recommended for closure submitted to the Base Closure and Realignment
Commission ("BRAC"). BRAC reevaluated Reese along with all other undergraduate pilot training bases, however, Reese was
included in the final list of bases recommended for closure. Final recommendations were submitted to the President in July, 1995.
The President and Congress approved the BRAC recommendations and Reese closed on October 1, 1997.
As a result, the City has developed a re -use plan for the facilities. Prior to closure 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 current growth in other economic
sectors has minimized or neutralized closure of the base. In addition, there could be 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 act provided for the creation of the
Lubbock Reese Redevelopment Authority (the "Authority") upon an affirmative vote by the governing body of the City and the
Commissioners Court of Lubbock County. 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, personal, and mixed property situated within Reese Air Force
Base. The Authority is empowered to manage, lease, sale and develop its property. The former air base, now known as "Reese
Center" 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 Science Center. TIEHH researches the exposure and effects toxic chemicals have on human
health and the environment. The Institute is comprised of five divisions: Environmental Health and Toxicology, Environmental
Law and Policy, Communications and Outreach, Research and Quality Management, and Human Health Sciences. Each of these
five Divisions facilitates TIEHH's educational and research goals. TIEHH will help stimulate the Lubbock economy by creating
jobs. Eventually, TIEHH is expected to create many new jobs for Lubbock and the South Plains region. And, TIEHH's tenancy at
Reese Center began the process of converting the former military installation into an active and thriving facility for the Lubbock
community and surrounding area.
State 9L Texas ... More than 25 State of Texas boards, departments, agencies and commissions have offices in Lubbock; several of
these offices have multiple units or offices.

September 30, 2000
NOTE I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements of the City of Lubbock, Lubbock County, Texas (City) have been prepared in
conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) as applicable to governmental
units. The Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the acknowledged standard -setting
body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. With respect to
proprietary activities, 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 has elected to apply all applicable GASB pronouncements as
well as Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements and Accounting Principles
Board (APB) Opinions, 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
In June, 1991, the GASB issued Statement No. 14, `The Financial Reporting Entity". In
accordance with this statement, the City has presented those entities, which comprise the primary
government along with its discretely presented Component Units in the fiscal year 2000 general-
purpose financial statements.
The City is a municipal corporation governed by a Mayor -Council form of government. As
required by GAAP, the general purpose financial statements present the reporting entity which
consists of the primary government, organizations for which the primary government is
r* financially accountable and other organizations for which the nature and significance of their
relationship with the primary government are such that exclusion could cause the City's general
purpose financial statements to be misleading or incomplete.
BLENDED COMPONENT UNITS
The following Component Unit has been presented as a blended Component Unit because
although it is legally separate, the Component Unit is so intertwined with the primary government
that it is, in substance, a part of the primary government.
The Urban Renewal Agency (URA) was formed to provide Urban Renewal Services for the City
of Lubbock, 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 City Council, and acts only in an advisory capacity to the City Council. All powers
to govern the component unit are held by the City Council such that, the City Council is
essentially the governing body for the Urban Renewal Agency. Financial activity of the
Component Unit is reported in the Community Development Expendable Trust Fund.
DISCRETELY PRESENTED COMPONENT UNITS
The Component Unit columns in the combined 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 financially 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 Citibus (Citibus) In 1998, the City renewed a five year
management agreement with McDonald Transit Associates, Inc. to manage and operate a city
owned transportation system (Citibus). Citibus is a legally separate entity. 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.

A REPORTING ENTITY (CONTINUEDI
Civic Lubbock, Inc. promotes the cultural and educational usage of the Lubbock Memorial Civic
Center and Lubbock Municipal Coliseum. The 7 member board is appointed by the City Council.
City Council approves the annual budget for Civic Lubbock, Inc. Civic Lubbock, Inc. is reported
as a proprietary type component unit.
Market Lubbock Economic Development Corporation dba Market Lubbock, Inc. (Market
Lubbock Inc.) On October 10, 1995, the Lubbock City Council created Market Lubbock, Inc., a
non-profit corporation responsible for creating, managing, operating and supervising programs and
activities for the purpose of promoting, assisting and enhancing economic development within and
around the City of Lubbock. Market Lubbock, Inc. is a legally separate entity. The City Council
appoints the seven -member board. The operation is funded mostly by the equivalent of three cents
of the property tax rate. Market Lubbock, Inc. is reported as a governmental type component
unit.
The combined financial statements present financial statements for each of the three discretely
presented component units. Copies of financial statements of the individual component units may
be obtained from their respective administrative offices listed below:

RELATED ORGANIZATIONS
The City's officials are also responsible for appointing the members of the boards of other
organizations 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 the City of Lubbock. The Authority is not fiscally dependent on the City of
Lubbock and City Council is not able to impose its will on the entity. The City of Lubbock 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. Its affairs are governed by the Mayor's designee, the Finance
Manager, three firefighters elected by members of the LFRRF, and two at -large members elected
by the Board. It is funded by contributions 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

A. REPORTING ENTITY (CONTINUED)
not in the City. The State Firemen's Pension Commission is the governing body over the LFRRF;
thus, the City of Lubbock 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.
Lubbock Health Facilities Development Corporation (LHFDC) promotes health facilities
development. City Council appoints the seven -member board. Bonds issued by LHFDC do not
constitute indebtedness of the City. The City does not govern operations of LHFDC.
Lubbock Housing Finance Corporation, Inc. (LHFC) was formed pursuant to the Texas
*
Housing 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 independent of the City. Indebtedness of the LHFC does not constitute
indebtedness of the City. The City is not able to impose its will on the LHFC.
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 Authority ("WTMPA") 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 WTMPA. The contractual arrangement with
WTMPA calls for each participating city to guarantee payments of the WTMPA 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's percentage of the debt service guaranteed is 85.21%.
The City has an ongoing financial interest in WTMPA 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 WTMPA which will benefit
the citizens of Lubbock.
Financial information for WTMPA can be obtained from the City of Lubbock, P.O. Box 2000,
�n
Lubbock, Texas 79401, (Attention Managing Director of Financial Services).
During the year ended September 30, 2000, the City paid $663,038 to WTMPA for purchased
power and was not required to subsidize any debt service payments.
B. BASIS OF PRESENTATION - FUND ACCOUNTING
The financial transactions of the City are recorded in individual funds and account groups. Each
fund is accounted for by providing a separate set of self -balancing accounts that comprise its assets,
liabilities, reserves, fund equity, revenues, and expenditures/expenses.
The various funds are classified into three categories: governmental, proprietary and fiduciary.
The following fund types and account groups are used by the City:

Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2000
NOTE I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
B. BASIS OF PRESENTATION - FUND ACCOUNTING (CONTINUED)
GOVERNMENTAL FUND TYPES
General Fund is the general operating fund of the City. It is used to account for all financial
transactions except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources (other
than special assessments, expendable trusts, 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 financial resources for the
payment of interest and principal on the general long-term debt of the City.
Capital Project Funds are used to account for financial resources to be used for the acquisition or
construction of major capital facilities (other than those financed by Proprietary Funds or Trust
Funds).
PROPRIETARY FUND TYPES
Enterprise Funds are used to account for operations of the City (a) that are financed and operated
in a manner similar to private business enterprises, where the intent is to provide goods or services
to the general public on a continuing basis, the cost of which is to be recovered in whole or pan
through user charges; or (b) where the governing body has decided that periodic determination of
revenues earned, expenses incurred, and/or net income is appropriate for capital maintenance,
public policy, management control, accountability, or other purposes.
Internal Service Fund is used to account for the financing of goods and services provided by one
department or agency to other departments or agencies of the City, or to other governments, on a
user charge basis.
FIDUCIARY FUND TYPES
Transactions related to assets held by the City in a trustee capacity or as an agent for individuals,
private organizations, other governments and other funds, are accounted for in fiduciary fund
types. Fiduciary fund types are comprised of:
Expendable Trust Funds account for assets received and expended by the City as trustee in
essentially the same manner as governmental fund types.
Agency Funds are used to account for assets held by the City as a custodial trustee. They are
accounted for on the modified accrual basis of accounting with respect to asset and liability
recognition, but do not have a measurement focus since agency funds do not account for
operations.
ACCOUNT GROUPS
General Fixed Assets Account Group represents a summary of the fixed assets of the City, other
than those fixed assets reported in the Proprietary Funds. Capital expenditures of the Capital
Projects Fund are the primary source from which the detailed records of the general fixed assets
account group are developed. Capital expenditures are carried in this account group as
construction in progress until the projects are completed and are then capitalized by function and
classification.

CITY OF LUBBOCK, TEXAS
Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2000
NOTE I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
B BASIS OF PRESENTATION FUND ACCOLJNTiNG (CONTINUED
Infrastructure fixed assets such as streets, highways, bridges, sidewalks, street lighting, traffic poles
and signals, and storm sewers, are accounted for in the General Fixed Assets Account Group and
reported in the Schedule of General Fixed Assets.
General fixed assets are not depreciated and are recorded at historical con at the time of
acquisition. Donated assets are recorded at their fair market value on the date donated.
General Long -Terra Debt Account Group is used to account for the City's liability for general
long-term debt such as general obligation bonds, certificates of obligation, and obligations for
employee vacation, sick -leave benefits, insurance claims and rebatabie arbitrage, other than those
reported in the Proprietary Funds.
C. BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The modified accrual basis of accounting and the flow of current financial resources measurement
focus is followed for governmental fund types and expendable trust funds. Under this basis of
accounting, expenditures, other than interest on long-term debt in the Debt Service Fund, which is
recorded when due, are recorded when the liability is incurred. Revenues are recorded when
received in cash unless susceptible to accrual. Revenues under the modified accrual basis must be
both measurable and available to finance current year appropriations. Revenues considered to be
susceptible to accrual under the modified accrual basis are property tax, sales tax, franchise tax,
hotel/motel tax, certain grant revenue and investment income. The accrual basis of accounting
and the flow of economic resources is followed in the enterprise funds and internal service funds.
Under this method of accounting, revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are
recorded when a liability is incurred.
Under the current financial resources measurement focus, only current assets and current liabilities
el" are included on the balance sheet. Net current assets or fund balance is considered a measure of
available spendable resources. The flow of financial resources measurement focus is concerned
primarily with the measure of interperiod equity (e.g. whether current year revenues were
sufficient to pay for current year services).
Enterprise funds and internal service funds are accounted for using an economic resource
measurement focus. All assets and liabilities including fixed assets and long-term debt are included
on the balance sheet. Fund equity is segregated into its contributed capital and retained earnings
components. Proprietary fund type operating statements present increases (revenues) and decreases
(expenses) in net total assets.
D. BUDGETARY ACC012 TING
.. Annual budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles for
all governmental funds except for special revenue funds, debt service funds, and capital project
funds, which adopt project -length budgets. All annual appropriations lapse at fiscal year end.
Annually, the City Manager submits to City Council a proposed operating budget for the
upcoming fiscal year. Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comments, and the budget
is legally enacted through passage of an ordinance by the City Council.
Budgetary control is maintained by department and by the following category of expenditures:
personnel services, supplies, maintenance, other charges, and capital outlay. All budget
supplements must be approved by the City Council. Administrative transfers and increases or
decreases in accounts within categories may be made by management as long as expenditures do

D. BUDGETARY ACCOUNTING (CONTINUED)
not exceed budgeted appropriations at the fund level. Budgeted amounts shown are from the
revised budget, adopted by resolution on June 8, 2000. During the year, the budget was revised to
reflect a 2.6% increase in General Fund operating revenues and a .18% decrease for the General
Fund operating expenditures from the original budget. 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 fiscal 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 revised budget process, budgets may be re-established. On October 1, 2000, the General Fund
had no significant amounts of open encumbrances.
F. ASSETS, LIABILITIES AND FUND EQUITY
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 that reflect each fund's equity in the pooled account. GASB Statement No. 31,
Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools
became effective for the year September 30, 1998. This statement requires certain investments to
be carried at fair value with the change in fair value included in the determination of investment
income shown in the operating statement. At September 30, 2000, the difference between
amortized cost and market value was not significant such that the carrying value of the portfolio is
considered to approximate fair market value.
Cash and 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 - Property taxes are assessed and liens attach on valuations as of January
1, levied on October i of each year, and become delinquent February i of the following year.
Uncollected taxes, net of the estimated uncollectible amount, are recorded as receivable in the
General, Special Revenue and Debt Service Funds. Deferred revenue is recorded in an amount
equal to net delinquent taxes receivable, less taxes collected within 60 days after the end of the
fiscal year.
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.

NOTE I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
F ASSETS LIABILITIES AND FUND EQUITY (CONTINUED
Restricted Assets - Certain enterprise fund assets are restricted for
t�beenl� reserved forn which his Cheese
funded through long-term debt, therefore, retained earnings have no
amounts. The excess of other restricted assets over related liabilities are included as retained
earnings reserved for capital projects, rate stabilization, economic development and bond
indentures.
Fixed Assets and Depreciation - General fixed assets are not capitalized in the funds used to
acquire or construct them. Instead, capital acquisition and construction are reflected as
expenditures in Governmental Funds, and the related assets are reported in the General Fixed
Assets Account Group. All purchased fixed assets are recorded at cost. Donated assets are recorded
at the fair value on the date of donation. Assets in the General Fixed Assets Account Group are
not depreciated. Property, plant and equipment of the Proprietary Funds are stated at cost or
estimated market value for donated assets. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method
over the estimated useful lives as follows:
Improvements 10-50 years
Buildings 15-50 years
Equipment 3-15 years
Interest Capitalization - The City capitalizes interest cost in its Enterprise Funds on bonds used
for fixed asset construction, net of interest income earned on the temporary investment of the tax-
exempt bond proceeds. Interest costs incurred during the year were approximately $16,800,000.
No interest was capitalized during the year ended September 30, 2000.
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. These are equally offset by a fund balance reserve
amount in the governmental funds, which indicates they do not constitute available spendable
resources.
G. RISK MANAGEMENT
The City is primarily self -insured for medical and dental coverage. The liability for incurred claims
represents estimates for medical and dental claims incurred as of September 30, 2000. Some of
these claims were reported at September 30, 2000, and others which are incurred but not. reported
(IBNR), may not be reported until a later date. IBNR is actuarially determined by the City's
independent insurance administrator. In order to mitigate the risk associated with the City's
medical coverage, the City purchased individual stop loss coverage of $150,000.
In April 1999, the City purchased worker's compensation coverage from a third party. Prior to
April 1999, the City was self insured for worker's compensation claims. Any claims outstanding in
April 1999 are the responsibility of the City. The insurance purchased from the third party
insurer covers worker's compensation claims from the initial dollar.
The City's self -insured general liability program is on a cash flow basis, which means that the
service contractor processes, adjusts and pays claims from a deposit provided by the City. The City
accounts for the general liability program in the Risk Management Fund (an Internal Service Fund)
by charging premiums based upon losses, administrative fees and reserve requirements. In order to
control the risks associated with general liability claims, the City purchased reinsurance coverage
for claims in excess of $250,000.
For self -insured coverage, ost of claims (including future claim adjuliabilities
estimates of the ultimate stment expenses) es)that have been
35

NOTE I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
G. RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)
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. Estimated
amounts of salvage and subrogation and reinsurance recoverable on unpaid claims are deducted
from the liability for unpaid claims. 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 general 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 polity 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 $100,000
dependent upon the unit. Premiums are charged to funds based upon policy premiums and reserve
payments.
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.
H. REVENUES EXPENSES AND EXPENDITURES
Interest Income on pooled cash and investments is allocated monthly based on the percentage of a
fund's average daily equity in pooled cash and investments to the total average daily, pooled equity
in pooled cash and investments, except for certain Trust and Agency, 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.
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 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 loth 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.
Grant Revenue from federal and state grants is recognized to the extent that the related
expenditure has been incurred and reimbursement 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.
Nonrecurring or nonroutine permanent transfers of equity are reported as residual equity
transfers. All other interfund transactions except quasi -external transactions, reimbursements,
temporary receivables and payables, and residual equity transfers are reported as operating
transfers.

H. REVENUES EXPENSES AND EXPENDITURES (CONTINUED)
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 1/ 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 termination at the current hourly rate for up to 90 days. Upon
retirement or termination, 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. The Texas Civil Service laws dictate
e^. 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 general long-term debt
account group for governmental fund employees and as a noncurrent liability in the proprietary
funds for proprietary fund employees. Management has determined that the current portion of
this liability is not significant to the overall financial position of the City.
Post Employment Benefits for retirees of the City of Lubbock include the option to purchase
health and life insurance benefits at their own expense. Amounts to cover premiums and
administrative costs, with an incremental charge for reserve funding, are determined by the City's
health care administrator. Employer contributions are funded on a pay-as-you-go basis. Financial
activity is reported in the Health Insurance Internal Service Fund. The following schedule reflects

The deficit of $70,757 in the Library Expendable Trust 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, 2000,
which is consistent with the revenue recognition required by the modified accrual basis of
accounting.
The deficit of $41,908 in the Community Services Expendable Trust 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 considered measurable at
September 30, 2000, which is consistent with the revenue recognition required by the modified
accrual basis of accounting.
The deficit of $449,474 in the Police Expenditures 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 considered measurable at September 30, 2000,
which is consistent with the revenue recognition required by the modified accrual basis of
accounting.
The deficit of $392,886 in Other Grant is the result of timing differences arising between the
incurrence of expenditures and the related filing of requests for reimbursement of those
expenditures. These funds have not been accrued, as certain reimbursement amounts are not
considered measurable at September 30, 2000, which is consistent with the revenue recognition
required by the modified accrual basis of accounting.
The deficit in the Golf Enterprise Fund of $1,812,264 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 City's
operations. The management agreement is effective through December 31, 2014. Over the term of
the contract, Fore Star Golf, Inc. will receive a portion of the golf course revenues based on a
sliding scale.
The deficit of $1,098,454 in the Internal Service Management Information Fund results from the
practice of not recovering depreciation through user charges. Management is evaluating user
charges in order to recover depreciation, financing and capital costs, and the retained earnings
deficit.
The deficit of $339,751 in the Internal Service Communications Fund results from the practice of
not recovering depreciation through user charges. Management is evaluating user charges in order
to recover depreciation and recover the retained earnings deficit.

The total deferred charges of S11,717,554 includes $3,877,778 which represents an advertising
contract with the United Spirit Arena. The advertising will begin with the opening of the sports
arena and will continue for 30 years. Amortization of this amount began in fiscal 2000 with the
opening of the arena.
The deferred charges also include an amount of $1,941,194 at September 30, 2000, which represents
prepayments for two separate contracts for future delivery of natural gas as contracted for by the
City. In 1988, a contract was entered into for the purchase of proven and unproven reserves,
totaling 2,000,000 MMBTU at S 1.56 per MMBTU with an option, which the City has exercised, to
purchase an additional 2,000,000 MMBTU at the same price. The remaining amount of
prepayment relative to this contract at September 30, 2000 is $1,643,133. 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, 2000 and 1999, 1,317,934

On August 25, 1994, the City contracted for the purchase of natural gas to be delivered in future
years. An amount of S298,061 is included in the $1,941,194 which represents a deposit on future
gas deliveries. In November 2000, the City received a refund of this deposit.
During fiscal 2000, S3,000,000 was transferred to the Management Information Internal Service
Fund from the Electric Enterprise Fund to cover costs of implementing a new utility billing
system. This amount will be amortized over 7 seven years once the new billing system has been
placed in service.
The remaining deferred charges of $2,898,582 represent infrastructure and other economic
development costs being amortized over 5 years.

E. RETIREMENT PLANS
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 RETIREMENT 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 of 731 administered by TMRS, an agent multiple -employer public employee
retirement system.
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

A" for the 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 10 or more years of service or with 25 years of
service regardless of age. A member is vested after 10 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. December 31, 1999 valuation is
effective for rates beginning January 2001).

LUBBOCK FIREMEN'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 of Lubbock 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 years of service. A partially vested benefit is provided for firefighters who
terminate employment with at least 10 but less than 20 years 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 Plan Effective November 1, 1999 provides a monthly normal service retirement

A partially vested benefit is provided for firefighters who terminate employment with at least 10

70.02% of Final 48-Month Average Salary Plus S283.50 per month for each year of service in excess
of 20 years.
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
1. 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.
^, 2. While the contribution requirements are not actuarially determined, state law requires that each
plan of benefits adopted by the fund must be approved by an eligible 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 the plan's normal cost contribution rate is
determined as a percentage of payroll. The excess of the total contribution rate over the normal
cost contribution rate is used to amortize the plan's unfunded actuarial accrued liability, and the
number of years needed to amortize the plan's unfunded actuarial liability is determined using a
level percentage of payroll method.
The costs of administering the plan are financed from the trust.

3. The funding policy o
contributions equal to 11% of pay by the firefighters and contributions by the City based on a
December
formula which causes the City's contribution rate to fluctuate from year to year. The
31, 1998 actuarial valuation (most recent) assumes that the City's contributions will average I5% of
payroll in the future.
Annual Pension Cost
For the fiscal year ending September 30, 2000, the City of Lubbock's annual pension cost of
$1,852,835 for the Lubbock Firefighter's Relief and Retirement Fund was equal to the City's
required and actual contributions during the year. While the required contributions were not
actuarially determined, the plan of benefits has been approved by the Board's actuary as having an
adequate financing arrangement based on the level of the firefighter and City of Lubbock
contribution rates. The funding policy of the fund requires the firefighters to contribute 11% of
pay and the City to contribute based on a formula which causes the City contribution rate to
fluctuate from year to year. These required contributions were reflected in the the December 31,
1998, (most recent) actuarial valuation, which satsified the parameters of the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 27.

The entry age actuarial cost method was used, with the normal cost calculated as a level percentage
of payroll. The actuarial value of assets was determined based on a five-year smoothed fair -market
value of assets. The actuarial assumptions included an investment return assumption of 8.5 % per
year (net of administrative expenses), projected salary increases including promotion and longevity
averaging 6% per year over a 25 year career, and no postretirement coat -of -living adjustments. An
inflation assumption of 4% per year is included in the investment return and salary increase
assumptions. The unfunded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL) is amortized with the excess of the
assumed total contribution rate over the normal cost rate. The number of years needed to
amortize the UAAL is determined using an open, level percentage of payroll method, assuming
that the payroll will increase 4% per year, and was 30 years as of Elie December 31, 1998 (most
recent) actuarial valuation based on the plan provisions effective November 1, 1999.

F. DEFERRED COMPENSATION
The City offers its employees three deferred compensation
piano all City employees, created in accordancewith
Internal Revenue Code CIRC") Section 457. The plans, available
it
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.
Effective August 20, 1996, the laws governing IRC Section 457 deferred compensation plans were
changed to state that new IRC Section 457 plans will not be considered eligible plans unless all
assets and income of the plan are held in trust for the exclusive benefit of the participants and their
beneficiaries. Existing plans are required to comply with the new requirement by January 1, 1999.
In response to the law changes, the GASB issued Statement No. 32, Accounting and Financial
Reporting for Internal Revenue Code Section 457 Deferred Compensation Plans. This statement
requires that the City's deferred compensation plans be reported in the financial statements as an
expendable trust fund. In management's opinion, the level of administrative services provided by
City staff warrants inclusion of the plans in the financial statements as such. The provisions of this
statement were implemented in fiscal 1999 and resulted in a transfer from the Deferred
Compensation agency fund to the Deferred Compensation expendable trust fund of $9,572,548.
The amount transferred is reported as an adjustment to beginning fund balance of the Deferred
Compensation expendable trust fund.
G. SURFACE WATER SUPPLY
Canadian River Municipal Water Authority
The Canadian River Municipal Water Authority (CRMWA) 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
rs
Septemberir cit30, 2000, the Board was comprised of 18 membeies, each city being entitled to one or two rs, two ofnwhich dent represented on tthe City
of Lubbock.
The City contracted with the CRMWA 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 are not general obligations of
the City. The City's pro rasa share of annual fixed and variable operating and reserve assessments
is recorded as an expense of obtaining surface water.
Prior to fiscal 1999, the long -tern: 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
S12,300,000 were issued to payoff the construction obligation owed to the U.S. Bureau of
Reclamation via 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 of Reclamation to the member
cities. This discount has been recorded as a deferred gain on refunding and is being amortized over
Elie life of the refunding bonds. The annual principal and interest payments are included in the
discl

G. SURFACE WATER SUPPLY (CONTINUED)
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 facilities known as Lake Alan Henry. The 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 S120 million.
The 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. The City will receive surface water for the
payments to BRA. Approximately $293,000 was paid to the BRA for maintenance and operating
costs in fiscal year 2000.
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 III. 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.
At September 30, 2000, certain mineral rights associated with land located in the Lake Alan Henry
site owned by individuals had not been acquired by the City. The additional amount needed to
purchase such mineral rights is yet to be determined.
H. 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.
I. SEGMENT INFORMATION - ENTERPRISE FUNDS

K. ADVANCED DEFEASEMENT
In fiscal year 1994, the City defeased $3,600,000 of the 1992 Tax and Waterworks Certificates of
Obligation. Available funds were used to purchase United States Treasury Securities, which were

M. LANDFILL CLOSURE AND POSTCLOSURE CARE COST
State and federal laws and regulations require the City to place a final cover on its landfill sites
when it stops accepting waste to perform certain maintenance and monitoring functions at the
57
ria
CITY OF LUBBOCK, TEXAS
Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2000
NOTE III. DETAIL NOTES ON ALL FUNDS AND ACCOUNT GROUPS
M. LANDFILL CLOSURE AND POSTCLOSURE CARE COST (CONTINUED)
sites for thirty years after closure. Although closure and postclosure care costs will be paid only
near or after the date that the landfill stops accepting waste, the City reports a portion of these
closure and postclosure costs as an opening expense in each period based on landfill capacity used
as of each balance sheet date.
The $5,918,343 reported as landfill closure and postclosure care liability at September 30, 2000,
represents the cumulative amount expensed by the City to date of $8,521,170 less amount paid for
closure of certain cells based on the use of over 90 percent of the estimated capacity of the landfill
registered under TNRCC permit number 69. This amount includes a reduction of cumulative
expense of $464,816 due to a change in estimate of cumulative capacity used at September 30, 2000.
The City will.recognize the remaining estimated cost of closure and postclosure care of $799,904 as
the remaining estimated capacity is filled. These amounts are based on what it would cost to
perform all closure and postclosure care in 2000. The City expects to close the landfill in the year
2001. Actual cost may be higher due to inflation, changes in technology, or changes in regulations.
The City has a second landfill (TNRCC permit number 2252) which effectively began accepting
solid waste during fiscal 2000. Current closure and post -closure care costs have been estimated to
be approximately $21,800,000, of which approximately $57,000 was recognized in fiscal 2000. The
City expects this landfill to have a life in excess of 80 years based on current estimates of use.
Actual cost may be higher due to inflation, changes in technology, or changes in regulations.
The City is required by state and federal laws and regulations to provide assurance that financial
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 City receives grant funds from various Federal and state
agencies. The grant programs 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 grants is not believed to be material.
B. LITIGATION
The City is involved in lawsuits arising in the normal course of business, including claims for
property damage, personal injury 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 City's financial position as of September 30, 2000.

C. SITE REMEDIATION
�., The City has identified specific locations requiring site remediation relative to underground fuel
Storage tanks. The potential exposure is not readily determinable as of September 30, 2000. In the
opinion of management, the ultimate liability will not have a materially adverse effect on the
City's financial position.
D. WEST TEXAS MUNICIPAL POWER AUTHORITY
In fiscal 1998, the West Texas Municipal Power Authority CWTMPA") issued $28,910,000 of
WTMPA Revenue Bonds, Series 1998 maturing in February of 2018. These bonds are secured by
the net revenues of certain power sales contracts with participating cities of which the City of
Lubbock 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 participating cities are required under a debt service
guarantee provision of the agreement, to provide funds sufficient to cover any debt service deficit
to the extent of their respective participation percentages. The City's percentage share in this
agreement is 85.21%. During the year ended September 30, 2000, the City was not required to pay
amounts under this provision. At September 30, 2000, the City had accounts receivable of
approximately $3.1 million from WTMPA.
NOTE V. RECENTLY ISSUED PRONOUNCEMENTS
v1
At September 30, 2000, the GASB had issued several statements that have not require
implementation by the City of Lubbock. The statement that may impact the City is as follows:
GASB Statement No. 36, "Recipient Reporting for Certain Shared Non -exchange Revenues — an
amendment of GASB Statement No. 33", issued April 2000, will be effective simultaneously with
Statement No. 33. Statement No. 36 eliminates a timing difference by requiring recipient
�,. governments to account for the sharing of revenues in the same manner as provider governments.
Management does not anticipate any significant adverse effects on the City's financial position or
results of operations as a result of the implementation of this Statement.

IN REGARD to the authorization and issuance of the "City of Lubbock, Texas, General
Obligation Bonds, Series 2001" (the "Bonds"), dated February 1, 2001 (the "Bond Date"), in the
principal amount of $9,100,000, 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 have stated
maturities of February 15 in each of the years 2002 through 2021, unless redeemed prior to maturity
in accordance with applicable redemption provisions. The Bonds bear interest on the unpaid
principal amount from the Bond Date at the rates per annum stated in the ordinance authorizing
their issuance (the "Ordinance"), and such interest is payable on February 15 and August 15 in
each year, commencing February 15, 2002, to the registered owners shown on the registration
books of the Paying Agent/Registrar on the Record Date (stated on the face of the Bonds).
WE HAVE SERVED AS BOND COUNSEL for the City 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 with
respect to the exclusion of the interest on the Bonds from gross income for federal income tax
purposes and none other. We have not been requested to investigate or verify, and have not
independently investigated or verified, any records, data or other material relating to the financial
condition or capabilities of the City. Our examinations into the legality and validity of the Bonds
included a review of the applicable and pertinent provisions of the Constitution and laws of the State
of Texas, a transcript of certified proceedings of the City relating to the authorization and issuance
of the Bonds, including the Ordinance, customary certifications and opinions of officials of the City
and other pertinent showings, and an examination of the Bond executed and delivered initially by
the City, which we found to be in due form and properly executed.
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 the Bonds 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 in 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 the general principles
of equity.
2. Assuming continuing compliance after the date hereof by the City with the
provisions of the Ordinance and in reliance upon representations and certifications

of the City made in a certificate of even date herewith pertaining to the use,
expenditure, and investment of the proceeds of the Bonds, interest on the Bonds for
federal income tax purposes (a) will be excludable from gross income, as defined
in section 61 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended to the date hereof
(the "Code"), of the owners thereof pursuant to section 103 of the Code and existing
regulations, published rulings, and court decisions thereunder, and (b) will not be
included in computing the alternative minimum taxable income of individuals or,

included in such corporation's adjusted current earnings for purposes of calculating the alternative
minimum taxable income of such corporation, other than an S corporation, a qualified mutual fund,
a real estate mortgage investment conduit, a real estate investment trust or a financial asset
securitization investment trust. A corporation's alternative minimum taxable income is the basis on
which the alternative minimum tax imposed by the section 55 of the Code will be computed.
WE EXPRESS NO 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, individual recipients of Social Security or Railroad Retirement Benefits, individuals otherwise
qualifying for the earned income tax credit, owners of an interest in a financial asset securitization
investment trust 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.

deposited to the credit of the Interest and Sinking Fund maintained on the books of the
Issuer.

year. The Issuer expects that the following will occur with respect to the money in the
Interest and Sinking Fund:
a. Such fund will be depleted at least once each bond year, except possibly
for a carryover amount not to exceed the greater of the previous bond year's earnings on
the Interest and Sinking Fund or one -twelfth of the previous bond year's debt service

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, Tax and Solid
Waste System Surplus Revenue Certificates of Obligation, Series 2001" (the "Certificates"), dated
February 1, 2001 (the "Certificate Date"), in the principal amount of $2,770,000, we have examined
into the legality and validity of the issuance thereof by the City of Lubbock, Texas (the "City"), which
Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only, in denominations of $5,000 or any integral
multiple thereof (within a maturity), mature annually on February 15 in each of the years 2002
through 2021, unless redeemed prior to maturity in accordance with the redemption provisions
stated on the Certificates, and bear interest on the unpaid principal amount from the Certificate Date
at the rates per annum stated in the ordinance authorizing the issuance of the Certificates (the
"Ordinance"), such interest being payable on February 15 and August 15 in each year,
commencing February 15, 2002, to the registered owners shown on the registration books of the
Paying Agent/Registrar on the Record Date (stated on the face of the Certificates).
WE HAVE SERVED AS BOND COUNSEL for the City solely to pass upon the legality and
validity of the issuance of the Certificates under the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas, and
with respect to the exclusion of the interest on the Certificates from gross income for federal income
tax purposes and none other. We have not been requested to investigate or verify, and have not
independently investigated or verified, any records, data or other material relating to the financial
condition or capabilities of the City. Our examinations into the legality and validity of the Certificates
included a review of the applicable and pertinent provisions of the Constitution and laws of the State
of Texas, a transcript of certified proceedings of the City relating to the authorization and issuance
of the Certificates, including the Ordinance, customary certifications and opinions of officials of the
City and other pertinent showings, and an examination of the Certificate executed and delivered
initially by the City, which we found to be in due form and properly executed.
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:
3187490
1. The Certificates have been duly authorized by the City, and the
Certificates issued in compliance with the provisions of the Ordinance are valid,
legally binding and enforceable obligations of the City, payable from an ad valorem
tax levied, within the limits prescribed by law, upon all taxable property in the City
and additionally payable from and secured by a lien on and pledge of the Net
Revenues (as defined in the Ordinance) of the City's Solid Waste System in the
manner and to the extent provided in the Ordinance; 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 the general principles of equity.

Re: "City of Lubbock, Texas, Tax and Solid Waste System Surplus Revenue Certificates of
Obligation, Series 2001 ", dated February 1, 2001
2. Assuming continuing compliance after the date hereof by the City with the
provisions of the Ordinance and in reliance upon representations and certifications
of the City made in a certificate of even date herewith pertaining to the use,
expenditure, and investment of the proceeds of the Certificates, interest on the
Certificates for federal income tax purposes (a) will be excludable from gross
income, as defined in section 61 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
to the date hereof (the "Code"), of the owners thereof pursuant to section 103 of the
Code and existing regulations, published rulings, and court decisions thereunder,
and (b) will not be included in computing the alternative minimum taxable income of
individuals or, except as hereinafter described, corporations.
Interest on all tax-exempt obligations, such as the Certificates, owned by a corporation will
be included in such corporation's adjusted current earnings for purposes of calculating the
alternative minimum taxable income of such corporations, other than an S corporation, a qualified
mutual fund, a real estate mortgage investment conduit, a real estate investment trust, 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.
WE EXPRESS NO 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 Certificates. Ownership of tax-exempt
obligations such as the Certificates 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 interest in a FASIT, 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.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
In reference to the issuance and sale of the above described Certificates ( the "Certificates")
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 Certificates, adopted by the City Council
of the City on February 8, 2001, which also approved and authorized the distribution of the final
Official Statement, dated February 8, 2001 (the "Official Statement") relating to the Certificates and
approved and authorized the execution of the Purchase Contract, dated February 8, 2001
("Purchase Contract") with Morgan Keegan & Co. Inc. and SAMCO Capital Markets, as underwriters
of the Certificates.
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 Underwriters) 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 "Plan of
,Financing", "The Obligations" (except under the subcaptions "Book -Entry Only System" and

sentences thereof) and "Legal Investments and Eligibility to Secure Public Funds in Texas" and we
are of the opinion that such descriptions present a fair and accurate summary of the provisions of
the laws and instruments therein described and, with respect to the Certificates, such information
conforms to the Ordinance.
C. The Certificates are exempted securities within the meaning of Section 3(a)(2) of 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 above described
Certificates 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.

Re: $2,770,000 City of Lubbock, Texas Tax and Solid Waste System Surplus Revenue
Certificates of Obligation, Series 2001
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for you as the underwriters of the Certificates of Obligation
described above (the "Certificates"), issued under and pursuant to an ordinance (the "Ordinance") of
the City of Lubbock, Texas (the "City"), authorizing the issuance of the Certificates, which
Certificates you are purchasing pursuant to a Purchase Contract, dated February 8, 2001. 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 of law and of fact, and
have relied upon such certificates 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 Certificates and we have assumed, but
not independently verified, that the signatures on all documents and certificates that we have
examined are genuine.
Based on and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that, under existing laws, the
Certificates 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 Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.
r. 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 February 8, 2001 (the
"Official Statement") and because the information in the Official Statement under the headings
"Book -Entry -Only System," "Tax Matters," "Continuing Disclosure of Information-Compliancewith
Prior Undertakings" and the appendices 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,
W
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 participation in the preparation of
the Official Statement as your counsel, we had discussions with representatives of the City, including
its Financial Advisor and Bond Counsel, regarding the contents of the Official Statement. In the
course of such activities, no facts came to our attention which 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 of Information - Compliance with Prior Undertakings" and the
appendices 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,

Dear Ms. Forte:
Pursuant to your request for a Standard & Poor's rating on the above debt obligations, we have
reviewed the information furnished to us and, subject to the terns and conditions of the
MEMORANIDUMOFAGREEIi?ENT on the reverse side hereof, have assigned a rating of `AA+' to the
obligations. S&P views the outlook for this rating over the intermediate to longer term as stable.
_ Please note that the ongoing information required includes annual audits and budgets and, for revenue
bond ratings in connection with construction financing, progress reports, not less often than quarterly,
covering the project being financed and should be forwarded to:
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services

S&P 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. In addition, it should be
understood that the rating is not a "market" rating nor a recommendation to buy, hold or sell these
securities. Please note that the raring, as is the case with all of S&P's municipal ratings, does not
address the likelihood th4 interest payable on the Bonds may be deemed or declared includable in the
gross income of Bondholders by the relevant authorities at any time.
In the event that you decide to include this rating in an Official Statement, prospectus or other offering
literature, we request that you include S&P's definition of the rating together with a statement that the
rating may be changed, suspended or withdrawn as a result of changes in, or urxavailability of,
information.
