Box 561 Lubbock, Texas 79408 Dear Member: It has been a great honor for me to serve as president of the Lubbock Chamber of Commerce during this past year. I have been privileged to be part of the progress of our city and to see the chamber take some bold stands on issues of vital importance to our community. Three areas in which the chamber advocated action which would affect our community and region were water, highways and agriculture. We continue to believe that conservation and improvement of our water resources are keys to the continued economic progress of our city and have spoken most forcefully for programs and actions which would bring this about. We also have been strong advocates of improved highways to link this region with other parts of the state. When the High Plains cotton farmers received devasting damage to their crops as a result of severe summer weather, we also were strong advocates of disaster relief for them. The arrival of Delta Airlines in Lubbock in June also was a result of work by many representatives of the chamber over many years. Once again the chamber was an articulate advocate for the city. Several memorable events marked the year. The November banquet at which Vice President George Bush was the speaker was a very special evening for Lubbock. The highly successful 1982 Lubbock Arts Festival held in April drew more than 80,000 persons to the civic center and had an arts sale of over $150,000. In the summer, the chamber sponsored an excellent Economic Trends Conference. These events alongside continuingly successful programs such as the Maid of Cotton Selection, Leadership Lubbock, all of the various events of the Women's Division and many more, will go into the records as contributing to a fine year for the chamber. My thanks to all who have worked throughout this year on the many committees of the chamber. We have had a good year and left our mark on Lubbock's progress of which we all can be proud. I am proud to have served as your president this year. Sincerely, oe R. Horkey Officers & Board of Directors ti JOE R. HORKEY DORMAN IGO GEORGE C.

HARVIE PRUITT a•- ESTHER SEPEDA ■ i t JAMES SPEARS JAKE WEBB Athletic Events Committee Agriculture Committee After meeting several times and considering the state of the local agricultural economy which was hurt by severe summer weather, the Agriculture Committee decided not to sponsor Agricultural Awareness Week activities this year. The committee did lend support to the Lubbock Agri- cultural Club activities at both Lubbock Christian College and Texas Tech. The committee also participated in the West Texas Agricultural Chemical Conference as in previous years. Armed Services Committee The Armed Services Committee continued its role as the official liaison between the community of Lubbock and the community of Reese Air Force Base. The Airman of the Month program was continued to honor the outstanding airman designated by Reese for his or her achievements. The committee sponsored educational visits to the U.S. Air Force Academy at Colorado Springs and Offutt Air Force Base (SAC) at Omaha. The trips were well supported by members of the committee. During the year receptions were held on the occasion of Change of Command at which time Col. Monte Mont- gomery departed Reese Air Force Base for a new assignment at Randolph Air Force Base. Following this, Col. Richard Hearne, the Base Commander of Reese Air Force Base, was appointed as Wing Commander. After his top staff mem- bers were assembled, the committee sponsored a reception honoring Col, and Mrs. Hearne and his key staff people. The committee sponsored an appearance by the Air Force Band of the West from Air Training Command. The concert was open to the public and was held in the theater of Lubbock Memorial Civic Center. The Broken Putter Golf Tournament was again staged as an annual outing for members of the Armed Services Committee and representatives of Reese Air Force Base. The tournament was held at Lubbock Country Club. A second golf outing was hosted by the committee for Reese person- nel at the Lubbock Country Club. Participants were Reese and committee personnel. The committee continued the awards program with the ROTC units at Texas Tech University. Members of the committee represented the community and the Chamber of Commerce at numerous functions held at Reese Air Force Base during the year. The Athletic Events Committee had a very good year with the sponsoring of five high school football play-off games in Lubbock. Members of this committee helped Texas Tech with its recruiting by giving over 100 certificates of appreciation to the players that have visited Lubbock. The committee also helped with the NAIA Baseball Championship held at Lubbock Christian College, May 31- June 6, 1982. The tournament brought 10 teams to the LCC campus. The committee members also helped secure the 1983 Olympic Academy for Lubbock for May 30-June 3. Aviation Committee The Aviation Committee has been very busy throughout the year with several meetings with major airlines in its continued effort to obtain new and improved airlines pas- senger service for Lubbock. With the termination of service by Braniff International Airways, Lubbock was short on seats for the traveling public. In June, Delta Air Lines began ser- vice into Lubbock. The Aviation Committee helped with the special cere- monies at the airport marking the first arrival and departure of a Delta plane on June 8. American Airlines and South- west Airlines marked anniversaries of Lubbock service. American began service last June 11 (1981), and Southwest celebrated its fifth year of service on May 20. Continental Airlines and Texas International merged their companies and service with Texas International adding several flights to and from Lubbock. Continental discon- tinued service from Lubbock in May but resumed its service for Lubbock International Airport in October. George A. Warde, president of Continental Airlines and Robert Crandall, president of American Airlines, stated the action taken by various airlines affecting Lubbock service reflects the changes taking place throughout the airlines industry as outlined to members of the Aviation Committee. Both of these airlines presidents made visits to Lubbock in April. Beautification Committee The committee spent a most active year working diligently to make Lubbock one of Texas' most attractive cities. The committee again received a commendation for submitting an outstanding narrative for the Governor's Beautify Texas Awards. Programs with public schools in Lubbock, poster con- tests for children and support to many organizations pro- moting beautification were some of the many accomplish- ments of the committee this year. PAGE FOUR 1981 - 82 ANNUAL REPORT Education Committee The primary goal of the Education Committee is to support the development of education in Lubbock at all levels. In order to accomplish this goal, Dr. Suzan Schafer, chairman of the committee, set up sub -committees, assigned specific tasks and scheduled programs that addressed key issues. One important project pursued by the committee was the publication of the annual education tabloid. The sub- committee charged with its production was headed by Mary Rooker. Listed in the tabloid are all the adult and continu- ing education courses offered by Texas Tech University, Lubbock Christian College, South Plains College and the Lubbock Independent School District. The tabloid appeared in the Aug. 21 edition of the T.V. Show Time of the Lubbock Avalanche -Journal. Another effort of the Education Committee was the placement of highway signs designating the location of L.C.C., Tech, the teaching hospital and the museum at stra- tegic locations around the city. This was a cooperative project for the committee, the Highway Department and the city. Plans also included forming a sub -committee to center on vocational education and career counseling. A career day, to help high school students get a close look at the career fields they may wish to pursue in college, was a program considered by this group. Through the use of speakers and programs, the com- mittee kept up-to-date on topics and issues related to edu- cation in Lubbock. In February, School Board President Monte Hasie spoke on the board's goals for education. In March, representatives from each of the main institutions discussed the effect "Reaganomics" was having on their program. May's program was on the need for vocational and career counseling in Lubbock. In June the committee was treated to a tour of Texas Instruments. Participants got a first-hand look at the large strides T.I. is making in the area of education and computers. The committee also helped Lubbock Christian College celebrate its 25th Anniversary in 1982. To mark the occasion, the committee dined at the L.C.C. cafeteria and heard officials describe the accomplished goals as well as new directions for the future. Energy Committee The Energy Committee concentrated on two areas of concern in 1981-82. Foremost in the minds of the committee were the development of Lubbock's oil and gas industry and energy conservation. Bob Greenhill was chairman of the committee. A sub -committee on oil and gas exploration was formed and Claude Freeman was appointed chairman. The committee decided that a brochure should be published to help promote the oil and gas industry. The brochure will contain information helpful to companies considering locat- ing in our area. With the oil glut and the apparent over -abundance of fuel at this time, the Energy Conservation Committee turned its attention to a program designed to promote public awareness of the need for continued and improved energy conservation. Weedon Echols, chairman of the subcom- mittee, put together an energy conservation week program which will take place the last week in October of 1982. In addition to these projects, the entire committee toured the Southwestern Public Service Tolk Station near Muleshoe. The power plant is designed to use coal as its source of generating fuel. It is hoped that S.P.S. will build a similar facility in Lubbock County in the near future. The committee attended the interconnect ceremonies of Lubbock Power and Light and S.P.S. in November. To mark the occasion, Commissioner David Hughes of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission came from Wash- ington, D.C. He addressed the committee and those in attendance as he helped throw the switch that intercon- nected the two utilities. At the April meeting, Councilman Bud Aderton spoke on the feasibility of the city's building a power plant that uses trash as its primary source of fuel. After the committee viewed a film on similar plants in Germany, Aderton fielded questions about the proposed project. In July, members of the committee listened to a pro- gram on oil well fires and blow-out techniques. J. D. Gray of Boots and Coots, Inc., presented a film that showed blow- out techniques and answered questions from the group. 1981 - 82 ANNUAL REPORT PAGE FIVE Fire Prevention Committee Highways, Streets And Roads Committee Members of the Fire Prevention Committee, under the chairmanship of Robert Stokes, sponsored Fire Prevention Week Oct. 4-10, 1981. In cooperation with the committee, the Lubbock Fire Department planned a program at the department's training station, located at Municipal Drive and North Ash Avenue, for all third grade students in Lubbock. However, because of heavy rains, the demonstrations were cancelled. The Fire Prevention Committee published a brochure dealing with fire safety in the home and at school. These brochures were distributed to all elementary schools, both public and private, in Lubbock during Fire Prevention Week. Governmental Affairs Committee With the state legislature not in regular session in 1982, the Governmental Affairs Committee, chaired by Tommie Stevens, turned its attention to the national scene. At a meeting in January, U.S. Rep. Kent Hance ad- dressed the economic situation as it relates to West Texas. The farmers' plight, unemployment and budget cuts were main topics of concern. Hance stated that, although domes- tic economic problems have occupied much of the Presi- dent's attention during his first year in office, he would eventually have to come to grips with foreign affairs in light of the recent world crises. At its March meeting, the committee discussed key legislative issues which were important to the chamber and the city. At the recommendation of Philip Hoel and the sub -committee on Legislative Priorities, the committee con- sidered Regulatory Reform, Davis -Bacon Act Reform, Indus- trial Development Bonds, and H.R. 4786 which is a bank- ruptcy reform bill co -sponsored by Rep. Hance. Also con- sidered was the Agriculture Department's hearings on the reclassification of beef grading. The results of the meeting brought a recommendation by the Governmental Affairs Committee that the Board of Directors adopt these positions regarding pending legis- lation: 1. That Regulatory Reform be recognized as the pri- mary concern of the chamber, and that we support all efforts to reduce the federal regulatory burden. 2. The total repeal of the Davis -Bacon Act which re- quires contractors on federal projects to pay inflated wages, should be supported. 3. Recognizing the mis-use of Industrial Development Bonds by some cities and corporations, yet realizing that Lubbock needs their availability to attract new industry, the chamber should support their con- tinued issuance with tighter restrictions on how they may be used. 4. That H.R. 7486, which tightens the existing bank- ruptcy laws, be supported. 5. Legislation that would change beef grading from three classes to two classes be opposed. These recommendations were made by Committee Chairman Stevens to the Board of Directors at its March 11 meeting. The board voted unanimously to accept the posi- tions as outlined by the Governmental Affairs Committee. March proved to be a busy month for the committee as a forum was held in an effort to give city council and mayorial candidates an opportunity to meet the chamber membership. Representatives of the Highways, Streets and Roads Committee made appearances before the State Highways and Public Transportation Commission seeking improve- ments for U.S. Highway 87, also to present a list of our needs in our order of priority. These priorities are as follows: 1. Funding of 1-27 through the city of Lubbock. 2. Upgrading of existing farm to market roads, for an outer loop, and this is to be included in our twenty year plan. 3. Requesting a continued study and development of an East-West thoroughfare, to come off U.S. 62 at approximately 19th Street and Quirt, proceeding southwesterly toward the railroad crossing at 34th Street and Spur 331; then continuing west in a cor- ridor somewhere between 34th Street and 50th Street, to the Brownfield Highway and Loop 289 interchange. 4. Continuing to seek upgrading of a divided four -lane highway on State Highway 114, from Dallas to the New Mexico state line. 5. Resuming a continued effort for a divided four -lane highway from Lubbock to the Gulf Coast. District 5 Highway Engineer reported that work was estimated to be completed in November on U.S. 84, five miles NW of Shallowater to junction with FM 2641, 50th Street FM 835 approximately two miles east of Loop 289, marking pavement from 4th Street, U.S. 82, to 50th Street and various streets in central business district of downtown Lubbock. ,The Right -of -Way Department has started making appraisal assignments on the proposed 1-27 highway right- of-way through Lubbock. They have started contacting utility companies to determine the cost involved with the adjustment of facilities. Appraisal reports for the property between 4th and 8th Streets have been signed. Appraisers are in the process of appraising that section, and the Highway Department is hoping to make the first offer in the next two or three weeks. Their first priority acquisition will be in the area between Broadway and North Loop 289. Contract letting on 1-27 from north Loop 289 south to 19th Street in Lubbock is proposed for 1985. In March the chamber's Highway Streets and Roads Committee co -hosted with the Lubbock Kiwanis, a dutch treat luncheon for the Texas Good Roads/Transportation Association. A. Sam Waldrop, one of our state commis- sioners, was the keynote speaker. He spoke about the nature and the extent of our highway problems and what should be done about them. The chamber also hosted a coffee reception honoring Waldrop on March 25, 1982. The annual meeting of the U.S. 87 Improvement Associ- ation was held in Dalhart, Oct. 30 and 31. Members of the chamber's Highways, Streets and Roads Committee attended along with Chairman Alton Brazell. Jim Bertram, director of planning for the City of Lubbock, was re-elected vice- chairman of the North Central Region of the U.S. 87 Improvement Association.

Industrial And Economic Development Committee Throughout the Southwest, and indeed the U.S., unem- ployment continued to rise during this fiscal year. Lubbock showed a slight increase in the unemployment figure during the summer months due to students entering the labor market thereby increasing the rate to 6.2 percent. This figure, however, started its annual downward trend after schools were reopened and, at this reporting time, the rate had been reduced to 5.4 percent. The average unemploy- ment rate during the fiscal year would be even lower. It is interesting to note that Lubbock's civilian labor force stayed above the 100,000 mark throughout this year causing Lubbock to continue to have the largest labor force in West Texas. The Industrial and Economic Development Committee participated in the 8th West Texas Industrial Tour to New York in early September of 1982. The general outline of each tour is to invite industrial firm representatives in various cities to luncheons where they are shown a film about West Texas. It is hoped that these firms will develop into prospects at some later date, or a potential prospect may attend a luncheon and become acquainted with the West Texas area. Sixty-seven West Texans comprised the tour, including three from Lubbock. Each participant paid his own way, with the exception of staff personnel. It is believed that the results of these tours will be long-term in nature. The ventures, however, have added a new element and dimension to the industrial pro- curement effort of Lubbock. The Industrial Development Committee authorized the continuation of an advertising program to be placed in various magazines which are specifically aimed at industrial firms throughout the United States. The ads, which appear International Trade Development Committee Members of the International Trade Development Com- mittee welcomed at the airport, Saudi Arabian businessman A. M. Alemer who had come to town to do business with Gould Pumps. The International Trade Committee of the chamber, has copies of trade directories on file. One is the European Trade Directory, ABC Europe Production-1982. It is avail- able for use by member firms. The directory is a unique source of reference for buyers and sellers wishing to export their company's trade in Europe. The directory lists over 500,000 manufacturers of 50,000 different products available from 32 European countries. on a continuing basis, describe opportunities in Lubbock's markets and available buildings in the city. The Industrial Development Committee also continued a mailing program to the real estate managers of major firms throughout the United States. The mailings consist of brochures telling Lubbock's story of labor and land and building availability as well as a complimentary copy of the committee's annual publication, Economic Facts and Figures About Lubbock, Texas. Carbon Dioxide Technology Corporation of Houston started construction of its recovery plant in connection with Lubbock Power and Light at the Holly Street Generating Plant. The Carbon Dioxide Plant is designated to recover carbon dioxide from the waste stack gases at the Lubbock Power and Light Plant. The carbon dioxide will be used as an aid in oil well drilling in the West Texas area. Evans Transportation Company completed its purchase of Lubbock Manufacturing Company during this period. The firm will employ approximately 200 people in the manu- facture of railroad tank cars. Petro -Lewis Corporation of Denver completed the con- struction of one of its office buildings in west Lubbock. It also completed the move of several of its employees from the Denver area to Lubbock. Petro -Lewis will employ approximately 130 people in Lubbock. Texas Instruments expanded its Consumer Products Division in Lubbock. The popular home computer line of products is being manufactured in Lubbock. Frito-Lay, Inc., completed an expansion and upgrading program of its facilities during this period. The company celebrated its 25th year in Lubbock and proper ceremonies were held at the plant followed by a luncheon at LakeRidge Country Club. July 4th Committee The committee sponsored a very successful parade on Saturday, July 3rd, with 38 units participating. The parade was televised live by Channel 28 with many people through- out the area viewing the event in its entirety. The committee also sponsored an early settler's reunion with an ice cream social at the Ranching Heritage Center with over two hundred in attendance. Guest speaker was Col. Richard Hearne from Reese Air Force Base. PAGE EIGHT 1981 - 82 ANNUAL REPORT Leadership Lubbock As LEADERSHIP LUBBOCK recorded its sixth year of existence, the program continued to enjoy enthusiastic community support. Each year the number of applicants has increased, keeping pace with the respect and prestige the program gains. This year, Dr. Nick Holdeman was chair- man of a dedicated, hard-working steering committee that brought quality programs to the LEADERSHIP class. The year began with a mixer followed by a "Get Acquainted Dinner." These two events provide participants with an opportunity to get to know one another before serious sessions begin. Chamber President Joe Horkey and Mayor Bill McAlister addressed participants at the dinner sharing with them the important ingredients for successful leadership. Each monthly session, beginning in October and con- tinuing through May, is carefully designed so that LEADER- SHIP LUBBOCK participants are exposed to quality informa- tion on each subject in a minimal amount of time. Topics for this year were the Chamber of Commerce, City Govern- ment, Community Services and the United Way, Economics, Criminal Justice, Education, Cultural Affairs, and Health and Medical Services. The structure of each session varied, but most incorpo- rated visual media, field trips, lectures, and speaker -partici- pant interaction. Of the learning techniques used, speaker - participant interaction proved to be the most beneficial in the educational experience of the class. The year was highlighted with the annual LEADERSHIP LUBBOCK Alumni Dinner. For the first time spouses and dates were invited to the affair which honored the graduat- ing class with their traditional achievement plaques. Ap- proximately 250 people witnessed the event at the Lubbock Country Club. Gov. William P. Clements spoke on the importance of informed leaders. Few programs have the lasting effect that LEADERSHIP LUBBOCK does. While most projects affect the present or immediate future, the development of informed, responsible leaders will affect the city for generations to come. Livestock Industry Committee The Livestock Industry Committee supported the Live- stock Day held at Texas Tech in September, and also aided financially the colleges' and universities' judging contests held at Texas Tech during the spring semester. As in the past, the committee gave support to the Lub- bock County Junior Livestock Show and other breed shows held in Lubbock. Local Industry Committee Projects undertaken by the Local Industry Committee during this year included visits to manufacturing plants, recognition of new industry coming to town, and helping Frito-Lay observe its 25th anniversary. Numerous visits were made by committee members to local industries. The purpose of these contacts was to show appreciation for the contribution of that company to Lub- bock and its economy and to ascertain ways in which the Chamber of Commerce could better serve that company. New industries which have opened here in Lubbock during the last year received special recognition at the May Breakfast Club meeting. Representatives of Ingersoll Rand, Petro -Lewis and Bancroft Bag were present at that event. A special event for the committee was a tour of Frito- Lay on the occasion of the company's 25th anniversary. The committee was host to a luncheon following the tour and a plaque was presented to the company in recognition of its contributions throughout its operation in Lubbock. The committee also distributed to local industries infor- mation about available job training opportunities at South Plains College, Lubbock Christian College and in the Lub- bock Public Schools. 1981 - 82 ANNUAL REPORT PAGE NINE Lubbock Arts Festival The 1982 Lubbock Arts Festival was highly successful in all ways. As in other years, the key to such a success is broad community involvement and again this year's festival excelled in this. More than 500 volunteers worked in the planning and implementing of this three-day "Celebration of the Arts." In terms which can be measured, success can be reported in an attendance figure which reached the 80,000 mark and in arts sales which topped the $150,000 level. Both of these statistics exceed comparable figures from previous years. However, not only has the festival grown in these terms, but it also has gained in reputation and prestige as evidenced by the quality of the work displayed and sold and in the number of artists who choose to participate in this event. Several national magazines also have given the festival recognition with listings and articles. During_ this year's festival, visitors from El Paso and San Angelo came to learn about putting on similar festivals in their own cities, as well. Two new features were added to this year's event. One was the design and use of a fine arts poster to promote and advertise the festival. A committee chose Eric Sloane's painting, "Pecos Ruins," as the work to be featured in they poster. Copies of the poster, both signed and unsigned, also were offered for sale during the festival. The other addition was a cooperative venture with the West Texas Running Club, a "Run for the Arts," held Satur- day morning of the festival. This activity not only gave local running enthusiasts an opportunity for competition, but also focused attention on the festival in a different way. Visual arts were highlighted in the Gallery, Exhibit and Artists' Market areas. Once again, outstanding artists work- ing in various media displayed works in the Gallery -Areas and Exhibits. Artists from 20 states participated and local artists also were well represented. A wide variety of arts and crafts were sold in the Artists' Market Area. Artists responding to invitation to hang works in the Gallery included Eric Sloane, Eliot Porter and Ronald Thomason. In the Senior Artists' Area, many different crafts were offered for sale, as well. An interesting rotation of arts and crafts were highlighted in the demonstration area, too. As in past years, all of the performers donated their time and talent, and a wide variety of musical, dance and drama groups added to the color of the festival. Several areas of the versatile civic center became staging areas for performances and an ever -changing kaleidoscope of enter- tainment was provided by individuals and groups. The Culinary Arts and Concessions Area offered many tasty treats for festivalgoers. Attractive decorations for the booths fit right in with the festive air. Behind the scenes were many hundreds of dedicated volunteers who contributed their expertise to work on the publicity, accounting, technical services, construction, plan- ning the Gala, assisting with information and communica- tions, office staffing and many other facets of the festival. Particular credit for the success of this festival goes to the co-chairmen, Ann Williams and Coffee Conner who, along with division chairmen, spent many months in work- ing on the details which resulted in such a highly successful festival for April 16-18, 1982. Lubbock Cultural Affairs Council The Lubbock Cultural Affairs Council co -sponsored the 1982 Lubbock Arts Festival, awarded several arts and humanities grants, and served as a coordinating body for the community's varied arts programs. By providing support services to its member organizations, the council imple- mented the chamber's commitment to increasing the quality of cultural activities in the Lubbock community. At the annual meeting of the council in October, Texas Lt. Gov. William P. Hobby was the speaker. Officers elected at that time were David Hess, president; Maxine Blanken- ship, vice president; John Logan, secretary; and Helen Otken, treasurer. Lubbock was awarded one of the first Arts Recognition Awards given by the Texas Municipal League. Lubbock was selected to be honored for the high level of support which business, government and the community at large gave to the arts. The council co -sponsored, with the Office of Continu- ing Education at Texas Tech University, an outstanding arts management workshop held in January. The success of the 1982 Arts Festival is described in another report, but the council, as a co-sponsor, was very pleased with the record attendance of more than 80,000 persons and of the art sales which exceeded $150,000. The awarding of the City of Lubbock/Lubbock Cultural Affairs Council grants is coordinated through a grants review panel which meets and makes recommendations in Decem- ber and June. The following groups received funding or partial funding for projects from that program this year: Junior League of Lubbock ($922.25) Lubbock Civic Ballet ($1,125) Department of Music, TTU ($1,500) Department of Continuing Education, TTU ($2,500) Department of Art, TTU ($5,000) Civic Lubbock/Texas Tech Theatre ($10,000) Lubbock Heritage Society ($10,000) Department of Dance, TTU ($5,000) West Texas Museum Association ($1,288) International Center of Arid and Semi -Arid Land Studies ($4,370) Department of Music, TTU ($4,040) Lubbock Garden and Arts Center, Inc. ($500) The Episcopal Diocese of Northwest Texas ($1,000) Food and Fiber National Institute of Achievement ($2,400) Ranching Heritage Association ($1,000) Guadalupe -Parkway Neighborhood Centers ($2,000) Outstanding events of this year included a presentation of The Nutcracker by the Civic Ballet, concerts by the Lub- bock Symphony featuring guest artists such as Paneyes Lyras and a Summer Pops with Helen Reddy and Die Fleder- maus given by the Tech Music Theater and Civic Lubbock, Inc. Summer Rep Theater presented fine performances of Jesus Christ Superstar, the Pirates of Penzance, and Cabaret. At meetings of the Cultural Affairs Council, artists at the MacKenzie Terrace Pottery Center gave a slide show about their work and Harold "Bo" Brown introduced the film on the history of ranching which was produced with funding from a grant. Soroptimist International and Native Land were given representation on the Council's Board of Directors this year for the first time. PAGE TEN 1981 - 82 ANNUAL REPORT No Text Lubbock Industrial Development Corporation April 18, 1980, saw still another milestone for Lubbock as the Lubbock Industrial Development Corporation (LIDC) was formed. LIDC is a nonprofit corporation, chartered by the State of Texas to assist businesses who desire, and can qualify for, the issuance of Industrial Revenue Bonds under the laws of the State of Texas. Officers of the seven -mem- ber board include B. C. "Peck" McMinn, president; George Miller, vice president; and Marion Sanford, secretary -trea- surer. Bonds for projects using this method of financing must be approved by the board of directors and by the Lubbock City Council. The offices and administration of the applications are under the auspices of the Chamber of Commerce. Evans Transportation Company utilized $4,000,000 to acquire land and fixed assets from Lubbock Manufacturing Company to meet their tank car manufacturing needs. Ingersoll-Rand will produce oilfield equipment at the former Clark Equipment Company, with $9,500,000 in revenue bonds that have been earmarked for acquisition and im- provement of land and facilities. And, Magnolia Seed Com- pany of Lubbock constructed a warehouse with a $700,000 bond issue. Other projects which have been approved this year include a $400,000 issue for Ryder Truck Lines, Inc., to acquire the terminal building on Texas Avenue formerly occupied by T.I.M.E.-D.C. Industrial Revenue Bond financing, also referred to as Industrial Development Bond ("IDB") financing, typically involves the issuance of bonds by a municipality or a non- profit corporation to finance an industrial plant, equipment or facilities to be leased or sold to a corporation. The lease or installment sales payments made by the corporation to the issuing entity must be sufficient to meet all payments of principal and interest on the Industrial Revenue Bond Issue, as well as pay related costs such as trustee and paying agent fees. Industrial Revenue Bond financing originated in the South a number of years ago. The main purpose was to give communities with an economy dependent on agricul- ture a means of attracting industry and additional employ- ment opportunities. Today's federal regulations allow for tax-exempt financing for such items as manufacturing plants, industrial parks, commercial facilities, toll roads, housing, airports, docks, hotels, sports facilities and power plants. Most commonly financed projects are manufacturing plants, industrial parks, power plants and pollution control facilities. In addition to the federal regulations, individual state laws must be examined carefully to determine the applicability for each project. A majority of states have enabling legislation of one form or another and a number of other states are proposing new statutory provisions. The State of Texas has recently enacted legislation which allows the use of Industrial Reve- nue Bond financing within the state. The act, known as the Development Corporation Act of 1979, allows corporations to finance new projects through the sale of tax-exempt bonds. Each individual project should be researched to determine the legality for financing under the governing statutory provisions. The financing requires a municipality or a nonprofit corporation to serve as a conduit through which the amounts payable under the lease, loan or installment sales contract flow from the corporation to the bondholders. The security for the payment of the IDB is not the issuing entity, but rather the general credit of the corporation. The bond- holder relies on the corporation's ability to repay the prin- cipal and interest on the bonds. The issuing entity does not pledge or loan its credit or taxing power to the bond issue. The initial requirement is for the nonprofit corporation to adopt an "Inducement Resolution" whereby the non- profit corporation induces the corporation and agrees to provide tax-exempt financing under certain conditions. It should be noted that in order for a project to qualify for tax- exempt financing, the "Inducement Resolution" must be adopted prior to the commencement of construction. Upon adoption of the "Inducement Resolution," the corporation may, at its option, construct the facility prior to establishing the final terms of the bond offering and delivery of the bond proceeds. Lubbock Industrial Foundation, Inc. Since the establishment of the Lubbock Industrial Foundation, Inc., on June 13, 1968, several new industries have located in the foundation's industrial park; but the most important aspect of the 700-acre park in Northeast Lubbock is that it makes available building sites to prospec- tive industrial clients who could not otherwise find land suitable for their building requirements. As a result, Lub- bock has been more competitive in luring new industry to the city. Most industrial prospects do locate on privately - owned land, but the availability of controlled land is a necessary ingredient to a good industrial development program. The Industrial Foundation is a nonprofit organization, chartered by the State of Texas and founded and owned by the Chamber of Commerce. The purpose of the foundation is to work with all industrial prospects, local and out-of- town, and aid them in expansion plans and problems, such as land, buildings and financing, when private sources are not available. Current occupants in the Lubbock Industrial Park area include Grinnell Fire Protection Systems, Inc., TG&Y Stores Company, Inc. Warehouse, Lubbock Engineering and Devel- opment Corp., Flintkote and Sears Warehouse. More recent- ly, the Michelin Tire Corporation was assisted by the foun- dation in finalizing its decision to locate a manufacturing plant in Lubbock. The firm selected a 510-acre tract of land in the Lubbock Industrial Park. The foundation is governed by a board of trustees made up of 10 persons. Officers include Marion Sanford, president; Everett H. Ginsburg, vice-president; and C. B. Carter, treasurer. PAGE TWELVE 1981 - 82 ANNUAL REPORT ,,rrrr4444'. / t ,w t ' r. PY To I � r _ K A Lubbock Visitors And Conventions Bureau During the past fiscal year, Lubbock's convention and visitor industry was highly successful, again topping the record from the previous year. This year our city hosted over 210 conventions and seminars with approximately 172,000 delegates in attendance. This figure does not in- clude all the friends and family who accompanied the delegates. Visitors coming to the Lubbock area bring in new money to the city. This year the overall estimated expendi- ture for each convention delegate averaged $67.50 per day, with each delegate staying an average of 3.5 days. This means that conventions and visitors contributed approxi- mately $40,000,000 to our city this year. The LVCB, with the help of many business leaders in the city, was able to secure and book many new conven- tions for. Lubbock. The American Bicycle Association held its Summer National Races in Lubbock during the July 4th weekend, and has rebooked for April 9-10, 1983. In addi- tion to the ABA, the convention bureau booked the Texas Pharmaceutical Association, 1983; Texas High School Girls Coaches Association, 1983; Texas Farm Bureau, 1987; Texas Society of Medical Technologists, 1983; Texas Chamber of Commerce Executives, 1983; and many others. The U.S.O.C. Olympic Academy chose Lubbock as their 1983 meeting site. This prestigious group will bring Lub- bock into the international spotlight as scholars and oympic leaders gather to discuss the 1984 Olympic games. Some convention groups our city hosted this year were the following: Texas Chiropractic Association, Texas State Women's Bowling Association Tournament, Texas Cotton Ginners Association, Texas Society of Architects, District 2-T 2 Lions Club, Texas Laundry and Dry Cleaning, Texas Circulation Managers Association, Texas Daily Newspaper Managers Association, National Association of Farm Broad- casters, Kiva Shrine, American Legion, South Plains Chapter of Texas Academy of Practicing Family Physicians, Postal State Supervisors, Texas Association for the Improvement of Reading, American Business Clubs Convention, West Texas Agriculture Chemical Conference, West Texas Water Utilities and the Episcopal Diocese of North West Texas. Numerous projects were undertaken this year by the convention bureau to promote conventions and visitors to our city. A concentrated sales mission was conducted in Austin where 32 Lubbockites made over 175 sales calls on meeting planners, travel agents and corporations. Sales calls on these various businesses brought good results. Not only was Lubbock able to acquire potential business for the city, but built a stronger image in the eye of Austin meeting planners. Some of the associations called on were the Texas Restaurant Association, Texas Municipal League and Texas Automobile Association. Another project which has proven successful was host- ing 25 American Automobile Association Information Direc- tors from around the United States for a two-day tour of Lubbock. The information directors arrived in Lubbock and enjoyed dining at various restaurants, along with narrated tours of the Ranching Heritage Center, The Museum of Texas Tech University, Texas Tech Athletic Complex, Mac- Kenzie State Park, and the Buddy Holly Statue. As a result of this tour, the information directors can give first hand recommendations to potential Lubbock travelers. This kind of referral builds Lubbock's image and draws more visitors to our area. In an effort to promote local coordination among entities that service conventions and visitors, the convention bureau has worked closely with the Lubbock Hotel Motel Association and Lubbock Restaurant Association this past 'year. The convention bureau served as a central office for the associations by issuing meeting notices, publishing newsletters, and coordinating a new Lubbock Restaurant Guide. The convention bureau was also instrumental in the formulation of the new Lubbock division of the Hotel Sales Management Association. To promote and attract conventions to Lubbock, the LVCB is an affiliate member of the Texas Society of Associa- tion Executives. This association is headquartered in Austin and has over 600 members who plan conventions and meet- ings in Texas. This year the TSAE Annual Trade Show and Convention was held in Dallas. The LVCB attended the trade show, and gave notebooks with engraved nameplates to all meeting planners at the trade show. The convention bureau is advised by an operating board made up of eight persons. Officers include Jim Eppler, chairman, and Priscilla Sims, vice-chairman. PAGE FOURTEEN 1981 - 82 ANNUAL REPORT Maid Of Cotton Committee A most successful Maid of Cotton Selection was held in the Banquet Hall of the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center In October. Sheryl Sanders was chosen as the 1982 Maid, and did a great job of representing the South Plains cotton industry. Attendance at the selection and ball exceeded 500 people. The committee hosted the National Maid of Cotton's official visit to Lubbock again this year at a dinner which had excellent attendance. Membership Breakfast Committee The Membership Breakfast Club became 14 years old in January of 1982. It is a very successful way of getting the chamber membership together eight times each year. The Breakfast Club does not meet in December or during the summer months. Sponsors during the past year were Southwestern Public Service Company, Lubbock Christian College, Holden -Dod- son Nursery, Sentry Savings Association, Southwestern Bell Telephone Company, Continental Air Lines, Lubbock Power and Light and Borden's Dairy. At each breakfast, several door prizes were awarded and several skits were presented which included members as participants. The grand prize is limited to chamber members, and the grand prize "kitty" grows from month to month if the person whose name is drawn is not in attendance at the breakfast. These breakfast meetings began in January of 1968, at the suggestion of Dr. O. Brandon Hull, who was president of the chamber at that time. Lubbock was the first city in Texas to use this idea. This monthly Breakfast Club pro- motes the fellowship and understanding among members of the chamber, and has kept the membership of the organization informed on programs and projects throughout the years. Because of the success of the Lubbock Chamber of Commerce monthly breakfast, several other chambers in Texas and other states have implemented the breakfast idea with success, also. Membership Sales Committee The Membership Sales Committee under the leadership of Jake Webb, chairman, held four meetings during the fiscal year. During the four month period from February to May the committee members were successful in bringing in 40 new members. The total membership effort for the year involving the committee members, staff and others, netted 91 new members. The increase in membership included not only business establishments, but professionals including physicians, attorneys and accountants. As the year came to a close, the committee was making plans for an expanded effort during the fall and winter months. President's Ambassadors The Blue Coats very capably represented the Lubbock Chamber of Commerce at more than 40 functions this year. These included groundbreakings, airport receptions, ribbon - cuttings and other events at which they were needed. The group does an excellent job of mixing with the crowd, answering questions about Lubbock and generally making folks feel welcome In Lubbock. The Blue Coats also help tremendously by greeting people and taking tickets at all chamber Breakfast Club activities. 1981 - 82 ANNUAL REPORT PAGE FIFTEEN Miss Lubbock at Breakfast Club Women's Division Ranch Tour r- Leadership Lubbock Session Beautification Contest Awards 7r,r.an i . .1% L + Visiting Airlines Executives SPECIAL PROGRAMS U.S. Rep. Kent Hance at Chamber 4 Program Of Work Committee Retail Trade Committee The Program of Work Committee, under the chairman- ship of Jim Spears, surveyed the entire chamber member- ship to obtain suggestions on revising the Program of Work of the Lubbock Chamber of Commerce/Board of City Development. In addition, the views of the general public were sought through advertisements placed in newspapers requesting suggestions about what citizens felt should be the priorities of the city. Several hundred suggestions were received from the membership and the general public. The committee reviewed the suggestions and included most of them in the 1981-82 Program of Work, which was approved by the board of directors. Many new projects were added to several of the com- mittees, and special emphasis was placed on those projects which were mentioned several times in the replies. Projects which had been completed were deleted from the program. In some cases, a new committee was authorized to deal with an area that was of concern to the membership and/or the general public. Research Committee Speakers at the Mid -summer Economics Conference set local trends in the framework of the national economic picture. The July 8 conference was sponsored by the Re- search Committee and was held at the Hilton Inn. Keynote speaker for the opening session was Dr. Robert Rouse, professor at Texas Tech University. In his presenta- tion to the nearly 200 participants, Rouse gave an overview of the many segments which make up the business and industrial base of Lubbock's economy and set the scene for the specialized presentations of the participants in the morning's panel. Each of the members of the panel examined a particular facet of the area's economy and made some predictions about future trends. Cal Brints addressed matters relating to agriculture and dealt especially with the impact of the extensive crop damage done to High Plains cotton by the severe summer weather. Brownie Brownlee talked about the housing and construction industry and real estate. Jim Eppler discussed the health of local retail trade and ways retailers have adapted to the problems of inflation. David Frawley of Denver, president of the Petro -Lewis Corporation which recently opened a Lubbock regional office, talked about the future of the oil and gas industry. Dr. Vladi Catto, chief economist for Texas Instruments in Dallas, made a presentation on trends in manufacturing. Dr. Sam Curl, the chairman of the Research Committee, was the moderator of the panel. Speaker at the luncheon which closed the day's pro- gram was U.S. Rep. Kent Hance. The congressman spoke about the region's economy as part of a changing national situation. He pointed out that, while the area has felt the same effects as others, the impact has been much less in this region due to diversification. The Retail Trade Committee, under the guidance of Chairman Leland Duckworth, continued its work to make Lubbock the shopping center of the South Plains and Eastern New Mexico region. It was with this challenge in mind that the committee sponsored three city-wide sales promotions during the fiscal year —Presidents' Birthday Sale, July Clearance Sale and Back -To -School Sale. Retailers were made aware of each of these promotions, and the Retail Trade Committee used various types of media for each promotion asking Lubbock and area residents to shop their local retailers. Of the sale promotions, the Presidents' Birthday Sale was perhaps the most effective. A total of 47 stores and businesses combined efforts to place ads in the chamber - sponsored sale section of the Feb. 14 Avalanche -Journal. The section increased from last year's 14 pages to 20 pages this year. Whereas the July Clearance and Back -To -School sales already have the support of the business community, coordination of the Presidents' Birthday Sale gives Lubbock merchants an extra boost during a somewhat slower time of the year. There were several openings of both new shopping areas and stores in Lubbock during the past year. These new businesses added to the retail base of Lubbock and strengthened the retail trade that attracts shoppers from surrounding communities. The South Plains Mall celebrated its tenth anniversary. In recognizing that thefts from businesses have more than doubled since the early 1970's, the committee con- tinued to conduct shoplifting clinics for Lubbock area re- tailers. The program is designed to alert retailers to the mannerisms and tactics of shoplifters as well as to teach methods for deterrence. The prosecution of shoplifters and civil liability are also addressed. The committee was assisted by the Crime Prevention Unit of the Lubbock Police Depart- ment, the Lubbock County Criminal District Attorney's office and the Small Business Administration in conducting these seminars, which take place a few weeks prior to Christmas, Easter and Back -To -School sale seasons. In conjunction with, and as a supplement to, the shop- lifting clinics, the committee has a projector and film series on loss prevention in modern business. Two of the films, "Shoplifting," and "Check Cashing" are used in the shop- lifting seminar. The loss prevention series is available for lease at the Chamber of Commerce offices. The committee also sponsored the annual Christmas street decorations program. Approximately 70 lighted trees were placed on Broadway between Texas and University Avenues during the holidays. Lubbock Power and Light is a co-sponsor of this program. Small Business Committee Priscilla Sims chaired this committee which took a supportive role this year. The committee worked with COMA, U.S. Small Business Administration and South Plains Association of Governments. The committee's objective is to lend support to other organizations in the development of goals and programs which will improve the economic situation of all small businesses in the city. 1981 - 82 ANNUAL REPORT PAGE SEVENTEEN Transportation Committee The Chamber Transportation Committee continued to analyze carrier adjustments in rates and rules, advising interested carriers, shippers and receivers and working with them toward a structure of transportation rates and routes that will best serve the needs of the area. Throughout the year, the department has kept abreast of various changes in rules and regulations concerning the movement of people and goods in and out of the Lubbock metropolitan area. The committee continued its policy of opposing in- creases in rates for the movement of goods affecting the Lubbock business community. These included opposition to Railroad Commission Docket No. 024920ZZT which pro- posed a general increase in rates. When the commission made a formal ruling on this case, the rates were reduced considerably. This committee also supported the Railroad Commis- sion in its efforts to continue to be the rate making agency for freight rates in the State of Texas. It also recommended and worked for the passing of four house bills on transportation that would have been good for shippers and receivers of freight within the State of Texas as well as the motor carriers. Representatives of the chamber, in an attempt to stay completely knowledgeable in this area, attended various meetings and seminars of the Texas Industrial Traffic League, the Southwestern Industrial Traffic League, the National Industrial Traffic League and the various freight bureaus and advisory boards. These meetings produced valuable infor- mation which is passed on to the Lubbock business com- munity through the chamber's Traffic Department semi- monthly "Transportation Newsletter," mailed to interested shippers, receivers and carriers throughout the community. Transportation/Carrier Committee The Transportation/Carrier Committee changed its name to "Carrier Committee" and set as its goals to maintain for Lubbock and its metropolitan area, the most favorable transportation service possible by all for -hire - transportation and to continue to seek further opportunities to improve this position. The committee cooperates with all transportation agen- cies, looking toward a continuation of the very best relation- ships between shippers, receivers and carriers. To consider the community and metropolitan interest in such matters, the group studies legislation and regulation changes of all transportation services. In observing anti-trust laws to protect our members, the group does not address topics of transportation rates or price tariffs, formal or informal, unless a position is to be presented to a Legislature, Court of Record or a Govern- mental Regulatory Body. The committee works with all carriers, shippers and receivers in trying to prevent loss and damage whenever possible. Water Committee The Water Committee, in its continuing effort to work for an adequate water supply for West Texas, met several times. The committee hosted a January meeting featuring officials from the Texas Department of Water Resources from Austin. The purpose of the meeting was to hear an update on water plans for Texas in the future. In April, the committee helped coordinate the Gov- ernor's Water Task Force public forum held in Lubbock. A good crowd of people attended to learn about amending the Texas Water Plan. PAGE EIGHTEEN 1981 - 82 ANNUAL REPORT Women's Division A varied program of activities was offered to the mem- bership of the Women's Division this year. The division also marked its fifteenth anniversary with special activities under the leadership of Hazel Young and the Board of Directors. A highlight of the year was the March 8 Anniversary Day Luncheon which was held at the Lubbock Women's Club. Past presidents presented the program and past board members were honored. A gallery of photos of the past presidents was set up in the chamber office. A committee worked diligently on assembling scrapbooks for each year of the organization's history, too. Past board members were invited to donate brass cups for the punch bowl set and many responded. Continuing programs of the division were carried out with excellent results. The Hostess Committee assisted at more than 40 events in conjunction with the President's Ambassadors and other chamber officials. The Reese Host Family Program continues to be a significant link between city families and the students at Reese. Members of the division also continued to staff the information booth at the airport. Other community service projects of the division were the Community -wide Christmas Party, the Arts Festival Infor- mation Booths, and the Information Table at Texas Tech's summer orientation sessions for new students and their parents. The Christmas Party which the division co-sponsors with Civic Lubbock, Inc., attracted nearly 4,500 persons of all ages for a full program of holiday fun and entertainment, a visit with Santa, and Christmas cookies and punch. All performing groups donated their time and talents and we had excellent assistance from many parts of the community including the media, the schools and churches. The party also involved the efforts of more than 200 members of the division. Staffing the Arts Festival Information Booths has be- come a division tradition, too. Nearly 100 volunteers take turns directing festival -goers to the maze of attractions offered at the annual "Celebration of the Arts." For the second year, division members staffed the chamber's information table at eight sessions of Tech's orientation for incoming students and their parents. Volun- teers handed out brochures about Lubbock and talked to the many people who stopped at the booth to find out more about Lubbock. Educational and enjoyable events planned for this year included a tour of the Texas Instruments plant and a day- long series of Health Seminars which was conducted at Methodist Hospital. A bus tour to the Luther Ranch in Cros- byton also combined learning and fun. Once again the division worked with the sports information staff at Tech to offer a behind -the -scenes tour of the football training facilities there. A church window tour afforded an oppor- tunity for division members and guests to learn about the important role of churches in Lubbock's life. Forty people went on the Santa Fe Opera Tour in the summer. Social events planned for the division included the traditional coffee for military wives, two theater parties, and a final salute to the anniversary year, a Gazebo Gala mem- bership luncheon held in the chamber's parking lot area in September. This latter event also was an opportunity for new members to join the division and for all present to learn more about the work of the division. The Board of Directors had a busy and successful year coordinating all of these events and special activities for the more than 600 members. Board members served as chairmen with other division members being co-chairmen for each of these programs. Monthly board meetings were opportunities to report and coordinate the varied activities of the division. In its annual program of work, the division seeks to offer "something for everyone" to its membership in the course of the year. 1981 - 82 ANNUAL REPORT PAGE NINETEEN WOMEN'S DIVISION CELEBRATES 15th ANNIVERSARY — Top —Magdalen Carpenter, First President, Honored Bottom —First Board Given Special Recognition OK Women's Division Officers & Directors `L HAZEL YOUNC President Ix : ANNA MAE BYRNE MARTHA SPEARS FRAN CARTER FRANCES ANSLEY Vice -President Via -President Past President r%.sft MARY BAILEY BEE CARR BETTY CARR SUNSHINE MATTOX Chamber Officials, President's Ambassadors and Hostess Committee attended more than 40 ribbon -cuttings and other ceremonies.

Box 561 Lubbock, Texas 79408 Dear Member: You and the Board of Directors have honored me by selecting me to serve as the volunteer head of the Chamber of Commerce during this fiscal year. I am indeed pleased, honored and challenged to have this responsibility and to face the many opportunities with you for our organization and for our community. Our city and area will continue to grow during this year. This growth is assured because of the attitude of our citizens toward the community, their concern for it and its welfare, and its best interest. We will see great strides made in all facets of the community during the months that lie ahead. These will occur in agriculture, industry, the health services field, the arts, financing, education, and in the quality of life through- out the community. With my optimism for the future, I am nevertheless aware of the challenges that face our community and the chamber, including the need for additional water resources, the facilities to undergird the expanding population and its needs, and in solving the long ranqe challenges surrounding transportation and economic diversification. As you know, you are a part of an organization that is the catalyst for the growth and development of the community. The chamber is, and has been for years, the institution that has stood for good sound diversified growth, along with good sound planning for the short range and the long range. It will continue to fulfill these rolls. I urge you to be an active member in order that you may be a strong part of this moving force that is working for the brightest of bright futures for our community and for each of us who has the privilege of living here. I look forward to working with you. Sincerely, 6'i-an Douglas Boren Chairman of the Board H0 PAST PRESIDENTS BULK RATE U. S.
