Second by Councilman Ince, any further discussion on this item?
What kind of rate are we going to get on this Robert?
I can't tell you the rate, but Betsy can. But, the savings on this, the
potential savings, the present value savings is 6 percent.
and that equates to?
$748,000 over the life of the bonds, go ahead ...
It's a full point better than anticipated.
The rate is 5.21.
5.21, and when will these bonds accrue ... when will they be

July 27th.
Just one question, I just got curious. In preparing a bunch of
documents, I saw Brazos River Authority on some of them, this
doesn't have anything to do with those?
No.
You know, one more time, City of Lubbock bonds with their
Double A Rating, we're suddenly Triple A price.
There's no insurance involved with all this? There is insurance ...
But your insurance premium is the lowest this town has ever
seen ... that's the lowest insurance premium ...
So that was the reason to go with the insurance because the
premium was so low?
That's one of your stronger points ...
So are you saying that the premium actually paid for itself in the
yield?

City Council Meeting
June 22, 1995
Item 28-Consider an ordinance authorizing the issuance of$13,505,000 "City of
Lubbock, Texas, Electric Light and Power System Revenue Refunding Bonds,
Series 1995."
Mayor:
Mark Hindman:
Mr. Hindman.
Yes, Mr. Mayor and Council, due to the market conditions it was
feasible for us to refund approximately $12.5 million dollars in
bonds were issued at three different issues and we had provided the
council with some estimates of potential savings we anticipated
through this refunding, and that refunding has been priced now and
we have some new figures which we will provide to you, and we
also have a handout that we can give to you.
Joe Smith, with First Southwest Company, has the numerical
analysis of the refunding and he is also prepared to answer any
questions regarding any of the figures and we also have Mark
Westergard, our bond counsel from Fulbright and Jaworski, here
who is able to answer of the legal questions that you might have.
This was a refunding for savings only; we did not extend the term
of the bonds. We ended up with a net present value percent of
refunding principal of6.019 percent. We had estimated a savings
of lower than that, somewhere around 5.2 percent savings. This
will give us an average annual debt service savings of $70,000.00,
a little over $70,000.00, and the savings was spread out pretty
much evenly over the term of the bonds. We were able to get a net
increase cost of5.21 percent, which is good, which indicates the
conditions of the market being appropriate for us to do a refunding
at this time.
Be happy to answer any questions we have from Council now or
anything regarding this refunding.

Mayor Langston:
Mark, just to recap this, there's a simply way as that by taking this
course of action we're not lengthening our debt service, we're not
going from ten years to fifteen years for example, and at the same
time we're going to save approximately $70,000.00 over the same
term that these bonds would be in effect each year for the City of
Lubbock. That's it.
That is correct.
OK.
The previous interest rates on these bonds varied between 6 1/4
percent and 8 percent Now we're down to a net increase cost of
5.2 percent.
So the timing is right?
The timing is very right. We were evaluating this and First
Southwest evaluates this on a regular basis, any bonds that they
have that they feel the market is right for us to refund and we were
looking at this last fall as were we the next issue with the Brazos
River and the market turned away from us pretty much at the last
moment and this time we're able to go through and get it a good
time in the market.
Any further discussion on this item?
I so move.
I have a motion by Councilman ...
INAUDIBLE --all talking at once.
Joe Smith: Mr. Westergard would like to comment on this position of the
proceeds before the vote.

Mark Westergard: I have one quick thing to say; even for meWs a quick thing. These
bonds are insured by MBIA Insurance Company. You got the
lowest bid we have ever seen for any insurance premium. This is
an extremely favorable reflection on the City, but one of the
conditions that MBIA has asked for in the bond ordinance, that you
are considering right now, is the condition that if the City sells the
system, proceeds of the sale will be used to pay off all outstanding
debt. So, some of those sale proceeds are dedicated to pay off debt.
Councilmember
Patterson:
Councilmember
Cooke:
Mark Hindman:

lnce:
Sounds fair. No problem.
That's a good point.
I would also to say this was a ... we rushed through this refunding in
order to make the window of the market and also we're working on
a sec deadline of July 3rd, with reporting provisions that we want
to evaluate a little further before we get into, and so I would just
like to say publicly our thanks to Joe and his staff of First
Southwest for the hard, and extra work, and also to Betsy Wood,
our Chief Accountant, because they put in a lot of extra hours to
get this in, so we could hit the market and ge~ it before the new
reporting deadlines, which we really want to evaluate further
before we come under. Also, have with us here representatives
from Prudential Securities. You want to introduce ...
I think all of you know Mr. Deaton Rigsby, the Manager in
Lubbock for Prudential Securities and the Investment Banker for
Prudential Securities, Lacey Truelove Crowe from the Dallas
office. I'd like to say that this is the sixth underwriting that
Prudential has handled for the City of Lubbock, including the
Brazos River, and they've done an outstanding job, and I'm very
proud to be associated with them.
Joe, you always do a great job. Betsy, we appreciate you and we're
glad to have representatives from our financial groups with us as
well.
I second the motion.

City's 1995 estimated population is 191,020. The City is approximately 104
square miles in area. Texas Tech University, a major State institution of
higher education, is located in Lubbock.
The Bonds an: being issued in the principal amount of$13,560,000 pursuant
to the Constitution and general laws of the State of Texas, particularly
Article 717k, VATCS, as amended, and other applicable laws, the Charter
of the City of Lubbock, Texas and an Ordinance passed by the City Council
of the City (see "Bond lnfonnation -Authority for Issuance").
The Bonds cons~~l.!te .~J?t'9ial obligations of the City payable, both as to
principal and interest, and secured, together with certain other outstanding
revenue bonds of the City, by a first lien on and pledge of the Net Revenues
of the City's Electric Light and Power System (the "System"). The System
provides electric service within the City limits and such area is also served
by Southwestern Public Service Company with whom it competes for
customers (see "The System"). The City has not covenanted or obligated
itself to pay the Bonds from monies raised or to be raised from taxation
(see "Security for Bonds").
Optional Redemption . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The City reserves the right, at its option, to redeem Bonds having stated
maturities on and after April 15, 2005, in whole or in part, on April 15,

Bonds, Series 1987, and $8,500,000 principal amount of the City's
outstanding Electric Light and Power System Revenue Bonds, Series 1988
and to pay costs of issuance of the Bonds (see "Plan of Financing" and
"Schedule I"). · .
Investment Considerations • . . . . . . . . . . Electric utilities in the State and nation are experiencing a rapidly changing
business environment due to increased environmental regulation and more
competitive market forces resulting from new federal and state legislative and
regulatory proposals aimed at opening the market for the sale of electricity
and fuel used in the generation of eleCtricity. The City is currently
undertaking a comprehensive assessment of its options with respeet to its
electric utility system. In particular, the City is exploring the possibility of
selling its electric utility system, entering into joint ventures for the
construction of new generation facilities and seeking new sources of
purchased power, among other options. The City presently expects to issue
directly or through a municipal power agency, in which it is· a member,
approximately $10,000,000to $12,000,000 in debt within the next 12 months
to fmance its share of a new cogeneration facility with Texas Tech
University. If bonds are issued by the municipal power agency, the City
would agree to purchase power from the agency, which would result in the
expense being paid as an operating expense which, according to State law,
is paid prior to paying debt service on the debt of the System, including the
Bonds.

PLAN OF FINANCING
Purpose
The Bonds are being issued to provide funds sufficient to refund $440,000 principal amount of the City's outstanding Electric
Light and Power System Revenue Bonds, Series 1976, $3,500,000 principal amount of the City's outstanding Electric Light and
Power System Revenue Bonds, Series 1987, and $8,500,000 principal amount of the City's outstanding Electric Light and Power

The Refunded Bonds.
Refunded Bonds .. , The Refunded Bonds, and interest due thereon, are to be pald on the scheduled inten?St payment dates and
principal redemption dates. from funds. to be deposited pursuant to a certain Esc~w Agreement (the "Escrow Agre(:ment")
between the City and Jllorwest Bank Minnesota, National Association, Minneapolis, Minnesota (the "Escrow Agent").
The Ordinance provides that from the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds to the initial purchasers thereof, the City will deposit
with the Escrow Agent the amount necessary to accomplish the discharge and make final payment of the Refunded Bonds. Such
funds will be held by the Escrow Agent in an escrow .account (the "EscrowFund") and used to purchase direct obligations of
the United States of America (the "Federal Securities").
KPMG Peat Marwick LLP, a nationally recognized accounting finn, will verify at the time of the delivery of the Bonds to the
initial purchasers thereof that the Federal Securities will mature and pay interest in such amounts which, together with uninvested
funds, if any, in the Escrow Fund, will be sufficient to pay, when due, the principal of and interest on the Refunded bonds.
Such maturing principal of and interest on the Federal Securities will not be available to pay the Bonds.
By the deposit of the Federal Securities and cash with the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, the City will have
effected the defeasance of the Refunded Bonds. In the opinion of Bond Counsel, as a result of such defeasance and in reliance
on the Accountant's Verification Report, the Refunded Bonds will no longer be payable from, or secured by, a lien on, the
revenues of the City's Electric Light and Power System but will be payable solely from the principal of and interest on the
Federal Securities held for such purpose by the Escrow Agent, and the lien securing the payment of the Refunded Bonds,
together with all obligations of the City to the holders of the Refunded Bonds under the ordinances( pursuant to which the
Refunded Bonds were issued and will be discharged.

The City has covenanted in the Escrow Agreement to make timely deposits in the Escrow Fund, from lawfully available funds,
of additional funds in the amounts required to pay the principal of and interest on the Refunded Bonds should, for any reason,
the cash balances on deposit or scheduled to be on deposit in the Escrow Fund be insufficient to make such payments.

BOND INFORMATION
Authority for Issuance
The Bonds are issued pursuant to the Constitution and general laws of the State of Texas, particularly Article 717lc, VATCS,
as amended, and other applicable laws, the Charter of the City of Lubbock, Texas, and the Ordinance passed by the City Council
on the date of sale of the Bonds.
General
Interest on the Bonds will accrue from June 15, 1995 and will be payable April15 and October 15 of each year commencing
October 15, 1995, and will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
Security for Bonds
The Bonds are special obligations of the City payable, both as to principal and interest, solely from and secured by a flrst lien
on and pledge of the Net Revenues of the City's Electric Light and Power System (the "System") after the payment of
maintenance and operating expenses. Maintenance and operating expenses include contractual payments which under Texas laws
and their provisions are established as operating expenses including purchased power and energy. The Bonds are not a charge
upon any other income or revenues of the City and shall never constitute an indebtedness or pledge of the general credit or
taxing powers of the City. The Ordinance does not create a lien or mortgage on the System and any judgment against the City
may not be enforced by levy and execution against any property owned by the City.
As additional security, there has been established a Reserve Portion of the Bond Fund which shall be funded in an amount at
least equal to the average annual debt service requirements of the outstanding Previously Issued Bonds, and the Bonds and any
Additional Bonds issued on a parity with the Bonds (collectively, the "Bonds Similarly Secured"). The Reserve Portion of the
Bond Fund will be fully established on the date of delivery of the Bonds.
Pledge of Net Revenues
All of the Net Revenues derived from the operation of the System, with the exception of those in excess of the amounts required
to establish and maintain the Special Funds created for the payment and security of the Bonds Similarly Secured, are irrevocably
pledged by the Ordinance for the payment of the Previously Issued Bonds, the Bonds and Additional Bonds, if issued, and the
interest thereon, and the Ordinance ordains that the Previously Issued Bonds, the Bonds and the Additional Bonds, if issued,
and the interest thereon, shall constitute a flrst lien on the Net Revenues of the System. Following the issuance of the Bonds
and the refunding of the Refunded Bonds, the City will have $29,149,965 in principal amount of outstanding Bonds Similarly
Secured.
As defmed in the Ordinance:
"Net Revenues" shall mean the gross revenues of the System less expenses of operation and maintenance. Such expenses of
operation and maintenance shall not include depreciation charges or funds pledged for the Bonds Similarly Secured, but shall
include all salaries, labor, materials, repairs, and extensions necessary to render services; provided, however, that in determining
Net Revenues, only such repairs and extensions as in the judgment of the City Council, reasonably and fairly exercised are
necessary to keep the System in operation and render adequate service to the City and inhabitants thereof, or such as might be
necessary to meet some physical accident or condition which otherwise would impair the security of the Bonds Similarly Secured,
shall be deducted.
"System" shall mean all properties real, personal, mixed or otherwise, now owned or hereafter acquired by the City of Lubbock
through purchase, construction or otherwise, and used in connection with the System and in anywise pertaining thereto, whether
situated within or without the limits of the City.
to
"Previously Issued Bonds" shall mean the outstanding and unpaid revenue bonds, designated "CITY OF LUBBOCK, TEXAS
ELECTRIC LIGHT AND POWER SYSTEM REVENUE BONDS", and payable from and secured by a first lien on and pledge
of the Net Revenues of the System.
• Additional Bonds" shall mean the additional parity obligations the City reserves the right to issue in accordance with the terms
and conditions of the Ordinance.
"Bonds Similarly Secured" shall mean the Previously Issued Bonds, the Bonds and Additional Bonds.
See "Selected PrOvisions of the Bond Ordinance".
Enforcement or Remedies
Except for the remedy of mandamus to enforce the City's covenants and obligations under the Ordinance, the Ordinance does
not establish other remedies or specifically enumerate the Events of Default with respect to the Bonds. The Ordinance does not
provide for a trustee to enforce the covenants and obligations of the City. In no event will registered owners have the right to
have the maturity of the Bonds accelerated as a remedy. The enforcement of the remedy of mandamus may be difficult and time
consuming. No assurance can be given that a mandamus or other legal action to enforce a default under the Ordinance would
be successful. 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,
such provision is subject to judicial construction. Chapter 9 also includes an automatic stay provision that would prohibit,
without Bankruptey 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 any remedies under the Ordinance would be subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court (which could require
that the action be heard in Bankruptey Court instead of other federal or state court); and the Bankruptcy Code provides for broad
discretionary powers of a Bankruptcy Court in administering any proceeding brought before it. The opinion of Bond Counsel
will note that all opinions relative to the enforceability of the Ordinance and the Bonds are qualified with respect to the
customary rights of debtors relative to their creditors. In addition, while the City has covenanted to secure the Bonds by a first
lien on the Net Revenues, Bond Counsel will opine only that a valid and enforceable lien has been grated on the Net Revenues.
Bond Counsel has not been requested to, and has not, rendered any opinion as to the priority status of the pledge of the Net
Revenues.
Rates
The City has covenanted in the Ordinance that rates and charges for electric power and energy afforded by the System will be
established and maintained to provide revenues sufficient at all times to pay:
(1) all necessary and reasonable expenses of operating and maintaining the System as set forth herein in the definition "Net
Revenues" and to recover depreciation;
(b) the amounts required to be deposited to the Bond Fund to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds Similarly Secured
as the same becomes due and payable and to accumulate and maintain the reserve amount required to be deposited therein; and
(c) any other legally incurred indebtedness payable from the revenues of the System and/or secured by a lien on the System
or the revenues thereof.
Redemption or Bonds
The City reserves the right, at its option, to redeem Bonds having stated maturities on and after April 15, 2005, in whole or
in part in principal amounts of$5,000 or any integral multiple thereof, on April 15,2004, or any date thereafter, at the par value
thereof plus accrued interest to the date ftxed for redemption. If less than all of the Bonds of a maturity are to be redeemed,
the Paying Agent/Registrar shall determine by lot the Bonds, or portions thereof, within such maturity to be redeemed.
Not less than 30 days prior to a redemption date for the Bonds, the City shall cause a notice of redemption to be sent by United
States mail, ftrst class, postage prepaid, to each registered owner of a Bond 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 CONCLUSlVEL Y PRESUMED
TO HAVE BEEN DULY GIVEN, WHETHER OR NOT THE REGISTERED OWNER RECEIVES SUCH NOTICE. NOTICE
HAVING BEEN SO GIVEN, THE BONDS CALLED FOR REDEMPTION SHALL BECOME DUE AND PAYABLE ON
THE SPECIFIED REDEMPTION DATE, AND, N01WITHST ANDING THAT ANY BOND OR PORTION THEREOF HAS
11
NOT BEEN SURRENDERED FOR PAYMENT, INTEREST ON SUCH BOND OR PORTION THEREOF SHALL CEASE
TO ACCRUE.
Additional Bonds
Additional parity obligations may be issued provided the conditions of the Ordinance are met. See "Selected Provisions of the
Bond Ordinance-Section 21". The City is considering the issuance of approximately $12,000,000 Additional Bonds within the
next 12 months to fmance the City's share of construction of a second cogeneration plant at Texas Tech University; Texas Tech
University would fmance approximately 50% of the cost of construction. The City is also considering financing the project
through the West Texas Municipal Power Agency, in which case the City would enter into a power purchase agreement.
Amounts paid under power purchase agreements are operating expenses of the System which, in accordance with State law, must
be paid prior to debt service.
Book-Entry-Only System
The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), New York, New York, will act as securities depository for the Bonds. The Bonds
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 Bonds in the aggregate principal amount of 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
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 ftle with the Securities and Exchange Commission. ·
Purchases of Bonds under the DTC system must be made b)' or through Direct Participants, which Will receive a credit for the
Bonds on DTC's recorda. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Bond ("Beneficial Owner") .is in tum to be
recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants' records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confmnation 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 Bonds 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 Bonds except in the event that use of the book-entry system is discontinued.
To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Bonds deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC's
partnership nominee, Cede & Co. The deposit of Bonds 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 Bonds; DTC's records reflect
only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Bonds are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial
Owners. The 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 Bonds 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 Bonds. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an
Omnibus Proxy to the City as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.'s consenting or
voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts the Bonds are credited on the record date (identified in a listing
attached to the Omnibus Proxy).
12
Principal and interest payments on the Bonds will be made to DTC. DTC's practice is to credit Direct Participants' accounts
on payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC's reoords unless DTC has reason to believe that
it will not receive payment on 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 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 Bonds at any time by giving reasonable
notice to the City. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor securities depository is not obtained, Bonds 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, Bonds will be printed and delivered.
Use of Certain Terms in Other Sections uf this Ojficial Statement. In reading this Official Statement it should be understood
that while the Bonds are in the Book-Entry-Only System, references in other sections of this Official Statement to registered
owners should be read to include the person for which the Participant acquires an interest in the Bonds, but (i) all rights of
ownership must be exercised through DTC and the Book-Entry-Only System, and (ii) except as described above, notices that
are to be given to registered owners under the Ordinances 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.

(2) In 1988, LP&L and Texas Tech University (•Texas Tech") entered into a twenty year agreement with three five year options
for Texas Tech to purchase steam from LP&L's E.Z. Brandon generating station located on the Texas Tech campus. Under
the contract Texas Tech purchases electricity at LP&L's adjusted industrial rate during the contract term. If electric service is
terminated by Texas Tech adjustments in the price of steam go into effect. In order to produce steam, the facility must be
operated to generate electricity, and the University is required under the contract to purchase steam. The adjusted cost of steam
would reflect the cost of generating power if the University ceases purchasing power from the City. If Texas Tech negotiates
to purchase power and energy from another supplier LP&L has the right to meet such price.

LUBBOCK POWER AND LIGHT
Lubbock Power and Light ("LP&L ")was established in 1916, and is presently the largest municipal system in the West Texas
region and the third largest in the State of Texas. LP&L and Southwestern Public Service Company ("Southwestern"), an
investor owned utility company operating within the corporate limits of the City, each provide electric service to residents and
businesses of the City. Essentially aU of the City is covered by both systems, each of which has parallel lines throughout the
City; one small area is served exclusively by South Plains Electric Cooperative and one small area is served exclusively by
LP&L. As of September, 1994, LP&L served 58.3% of all connections.
Southwestern was granted a new 20-year franchise by the City in 1982. The company pays the City a franchise tax of 3% of
its gross receipts which is deposited into the City's General Fund; LP&L makes an equivalent payment in lieu of taxes to the
General Fund of the City. As of September, 1994, Southwestern supplied power to approximately 41.7% of the customers in
Lubbock.
LP&L generates part of its power requirements through the use of three generating stations located within the City. In recent
years, the City has generated between 50% and 65% of its power. These plants are geographically separated and deliver bulk
power to substations through a 69 kilovolt (kV) transmission loop system.
LP&L currently contracts for the purchase of 40 megawatts (MW) of power from Southwestern; power is delivered via two
interconnections, each capable of delivering up to 100 MW to LP&L.
Generating Stations ... The total generating capacity of LP&L is 220,500 kW. Gas turbine generators provide the system with
52,500 kW of ready reserve and quick-start generation for emergency and peaking service. A high efficiency gas turbine at
Texas Tech University (E.Z. Brandon Station) is base loaded. Generating units consist of the following:

*Since 1982, Station No.2 has been kept on standby and is used for peak and emergency power purposes. In 1995, the City
Council authorized LP&L to repair several facilities at Plant No.2. These repairs when completed in 1995 will add 38.5 MW
of capacity to Plant No. 2. The generator capacities shown above reflect the rated capacities of the Plant 2 generating units
following completion of the renovations. These repairs are estimated to cost about $4,000,000 and will be fmanced solely out
of LP&L's reserves. Available capacity at Plant No.2 also allows LP&L to purchase additional low cost non-firm power from
Southwestern Public Service Company.
**High efficiency, cogeneration plant located at Texas Tech University; waste heat is used to produce steam which is sold to
the University.
Interconnection . . . An interconnection with Southwestern was completed and LP&L commenced buying power from
Southwestern in December, 1981. In April, 1986, a second interconnection with Southwestern was energized; each
interconnection is capable of providing up to 100 MW to LP&L.
Purchased Power ... LP&L's current contract with Southwestern was executed in January, 1994, and extends to December
31, 2004, with year to year extensions thereafter subject to five years notice of termination by either party. The contract
provides for "firm power", "emergency energy" and "non-fum" energy; non-firm energy purchases by LP&L are made on an
economic dispatch basis and are subject to Southwestern's sole discretion to make such sales. Southwestern is the only
interconnection to LP&L 's system; the City must give two years notice of intention to take power from another supplier. LP&L
has notified Southwestern of its intent to seek additional sources of power supply starting January 1, 1997. The City specifies
23
its fltlll power requirements five years in advance subject to adjustment by plus or minus 30% at least one year in advance.
LP&L has designated 40 MW for 1995, 35 MW for 1996, 40 MW for 1997, 1998 and 1999. These are adjusted from the
original nominations of 40 MW for 1995, 45 MW for 1996, SS MW for 1997 and 55 MW for 1998. Southwestern will make
such fltlll power and energy available to LP&L as specified, provided it has sufficient capacity in its existing facilities for any
requested increase. Southwestern serves an area covering parts of five states including the Panhandle and South Plains of Texas,
parts of eastern New Mexico, western Oklahoma and southern Kansas with an integrated electric generating and distnbution
system.
Gas Supply Contracts ... The City uses approximately 7 Billion Cubic Feet ("BCF") of natural gas each year, and has entered
into long-term contracts (a contract exceeding one year in duration) for the supply of approximately 4 BCF per year. The
balance of the City's gas supply is acquired on the basis of spot market purchases.
The City currently has in place four gas supply agreements including two contracts with Power-Tex Joint Venture, a subsidiary
of the Hadson Corporation, which supply the System's base loaded units at the Holly Generation Plant. The City is in the last
18 months of a five year contract which requires the City to take 1 BCF of gas annually in 1995 and 1996 at a price which is
based upon the average of three specified indices plus SO%. This contract contains a ceiling price of gas which is generally
equal to the cost of fltlll purchased power available to the City. The City's obligation under the contract is a take-or-pay
obligation.
In addition to the contract descnbed above, the City entered into a new five year agreement with Power-Tex Joint Venture
effective January 1, 1995. This new Power-Tex contract requires the City to purchase 3 BCF of natural gas per year for the
fli'St two years and requires the City to purchase 4 BCF in the final three years ofthe contract. The price is based upon an index
published in "Inside F.E.R.C. 's Gas Market Report" each month under a table entitled "Price of Spot Gas Delivered to
Pipelines" for gas delivered into the Northern Natural Gas Company in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas plus $0.15. The contract
provides for the transportation of gas at an additional charge of$0.15 per Million Btus, which delivery charge increases to $0.17
in the last two years of the agreement. The contract permits the City to nominate a volume of gas and delivery period (not to
exceed 12 months) to be fixed in price upon 30 days notice. This clause allows the City to reduce its exposure to price increases
during the specified period. The contract also permits the City to purchase an additionallO,OOO Million Btus of natural gas per
day if it needs the gas for the new cogeneration facility to be jointly buih and fmanced by the City and Texas Tech University.
The City believes that this new contract offers significant savings over the old Power-Tex contract, and notes that if the terms
of this contract had been in place in 1993, the cost of 3 BCF of gas would have been reduced by approximately $1.4 million.
Gas can be delivered to the Holly Plant through three pipelines connected to the plant, including a pipeline owned by the City
which runs from the Choctaw Field near Post, Texas, a line owned by Hadson Gas Corporation and a line owned by Energas
Corporation.
In addition to the Power-Tex contracts, the City has a contract in place with Adobe Gas Marketing,. a subsidiary of Hadson
Corporation, for the sale of gas to the Brandon cogeneration plant on the campus of Texas Tech University. This contract
guarantees 1.6425 BCF of natural gas per year to that location through August 30, 1998. The price of the gas escalates 5.5%
per year. For the fiscal year beginning September 1, 1995, the contract price is $2.149 per Mbtu plus $0.20 for transportation.
The City also has in place a contract for the purchase of the full production of the Choctaw Field. Actual production varies,
but is typically about . 730 BCF annually. The price for this gas is 85% of the weighted average price paid to the System's other
fltlll gas suppliers. The City owns the pipeline from the Choctaw Field. The price of this gas in recent years has varied around
the $2.00 per Mbtu level. The agreement expires in 2008.
As a matter of policy, the City has historically established a practice of generating approximately 65% of its power needs and
purchasing power for the balance of its needs. In 1994 and through part of 1995, the City has purchased power to meet
approximately SO% of its needs due to mechanical failure of a turbine at the Holly Plant and to other mechanical problems that
limited its generation capacity. As a result of the Holly Plant downages, the City commenced an approximately $4 million
renovation program for the Plant 2 Units 4, 5, 6 and 7 in late 1994. These improvements are being financed through cash
reserves of the System. According to the System's consulting engineers, the restoration of the Plant Z Units will provide an
additional 38.5 MW of production capacity to the System (the Table under "Lubbock Power and Light Generating Stations"
reflects the rated capacities of the Plant 2 Units after the conclusion of the renovations), and the City will recover the cost of
the improvements over a three year period as compared to purchasing power over the same period. The Plant Z Units had not
had major equipment overhauls and maintenance since 1982 when they were relegated to standby reserve status. Since 1982
there had been little or no maintenance of the Units because the System did not require the capacity, except to provide a portion
of the City's peaking generation. However with the breakdown of Holly in the summer of 1994, increases in its load and the
City's inability to arrange to buy additional power from Southwestern Public Service Company except at expensive emergency
power rates, the City has determined to renovate the Plant 2 Units.

Transmission and Distribution .•• A 69,000volt (69 k.V) transmission loop system, 73.89 miles in length, provides bulk power
to eleven 69,000/12470 bulk substations with a combined base capacity of 351 megavolt amps (MV A). With all cooling systems
in operation, these substations could provide up to 532 MVA. Of the above 69kV transmission lines, 27.41 miles have been
constructed for operation at 115 k.V. When system load dictates, these Jines will be energized to 115kV and provide an
additional 2SO~ of transmission capacity. due to the increased voltage. LP&L also. has two interconnections with Southwestern
Public Service which can provide up to 200 MV A of additional power; these interconnections .are tied to LP&L through 4.3S
miles of 230 k.V transmission Jines.
The distribution system includes approximately 643.61 miles of overhead distribution lines and approximately 217.90 miles of
underground distribution Jines. There are three 12,470/4160 volt substations in the distribution system. Net system load for
Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 1994, was 1,046,666,402 kilowatt hours (kWh) with a peak: demand of 2SS,OOO k.W.
Continuing Tpnsmission and Djstn'bution System Improvement Program ..• Since 1980 the City estimates that it has spent
over $70 million on distn'bution system improvements, ahnost all of which has been rmanced with operating reserves. A
transmission and distn'bution system construction and improvement program using internally generated funds is in progress.
Recent Substation Construction and Facilities Relocation Program
(1) A "South Substation" to meet expected load growth in south and southwest Lubbock and expected load growth
along the 1-27 corridor was constructed in 1992; this substation will also prevent future voltage problems in this region;
the substation consists of two 1S/2012S MV A transformers with all required substation facilities, 69 kV transmission
line extensions and 12.5 kV distribution feeder lines.
(2) East/West Freeway Clearing ... The State's construction plans for an east/west freeway across Lubbock require
that a major 69 kV transmission line along with numerous distribution lines located on or along existing public streets
and alleys be relocated. The City has funded this project with proceeds of a prior bond issue. The estimated cost of
this project is $3.7 million.
(3) LP&L is presently renovating four generating units within its station no. 2. This project, when completed in 199S,
will add approximately 38.5 MW of usable generation to the LP&L system. The estimated cost of this project is
$3,700,000 which is being rmanced with available LP&L funds.
Integrated Resource Plan
On June 23, 1994, the City of Lubbock contracted with Resource Management International Inc. ("RMI") to conduct an
Integrated Resource Plan for LP&L. RMI was to help LP&L plan for the most reliable and economical method of supplying
power to LP&L 's growing loads. RMI was specifically instructed to rmd the least cost approach in meeting these loads for both
the short term and long term. All reasonable alternatives were to be considered. Certain specific issues were to be included
in their report. These include the following:
A. Continue operations of LP&L's existing generation and purchase remaining needs as required.
B. Upgrade and modify LP&L's existing generation to produce additional power and purchase remaining needs as required.
C. Construct or participate in new generation to supplement LP&L's existing system.
D. Sell LP&L's existing generation and purchase all needed power from others.
E. Sell LP&L.
F. Some combination of the above or other alternatives not listed.
This report is to be completed in July, 1995.
Early indications in this report strongly recommended repairing several units at Plant No. 2; LP&L is currently in the process
of repairing and upgrading Plant No. 2. An additional 38.S MW may be obtained due to these actions.
Early indications in the report have also indicated the need to pursue negotiations with Texas Tech University to construct a
second cogeneration plant on the campus. Texas Tech would contribute approximately half of the cost of this project. LP&L
expects to sell additional revenue bonds to rmance the remaining $12,000,000.
The report is also indicating that additional major capital additions should not be pursued; most additional generation is expected
to be met by Independent Generators through purchase contracts and by using the existing transmission systems to buy the least
cost power from a variety of other utilities.
More details are expected with the receipt of the completed report.
The Sale of the System Option .•. As mentioned above, one aspect of the RMI study is the assessment of the sale of LP&L.
In early 1995, Southwestern Public Service Company made an offer to the City to purchase LP&L by making installment
payments of $9 million per year over a 30 year period. The City's legal advisors have advised the City that such an installment
sale is not permitted by State law. In addition, any sale would require a referendum to approve the sale, as the City Charter
specifically requires that two-thirds of the voters of the City approve the sale at an election before the sale can be consummated.
The City Manager has been instructed by the City Council to make recommendations to the Council for the composition of a
task force which will examine and make recommendations on the possible sale of the utility. Should the City ultimately
determine to sell LP&L, and should the voters approve the sale, the City is required by the Ordinance to defease all of the
System debt, which could result in the Bonds being escrowed to their first call date. No assurance can be given as to the
ultimate determination as to the disposition of LP&L.
West Texas Municipal Power Agency (the "Agency")
The Cities of Lubbock, Brownfield, Floydada and Tulia, Texas (the "Cities") have created the Agency under the provisions of
Section 4a and 4b of Article 1435a, Revised Civil Statutes of Texas, as amended, as a joint power agency, a separate municipal
corporation, a political subdivision of the State of Texas and a body politic and corporate with the powers provided in Sections
4a and 4b of Article 1435a, in Article 1435b and in other laws. The Agency has no taxing power. Each of the Cities owns
and operates a municipal electric light and power system, and all are within a 75-mile radius of Lubbock. The eight place Board
of Directors of the Agency consists of two directors from each City.
The purpose of the Agency is to engage in the generation, transmission, sale and exchange of electric energy to the member
Cities and to any private entities who may be joint owners with the Agency of an electric generating facility. The Agency also
represents the Cities with respect to rate proceedings with Southwestern Public Service Company.
CERTAIN FACTORS AFFECTING THE ELECTRIC UTILITY INDUSTRY AND THE SYSTEM
General Factors Affecting the Electric Utility Industry
The electric utility industry in general has been experiencing, or may in the future, experience, problems including (a) the effects
of inflation upon the costs of operation and construction of generating units, (b) substantially increased capital outlays and longer
construction periods for the larger and more complex new generating units, (c) uncertainties in predicting future load
requirements, (d) problems of cost and availability of fuel, (e) compliance with rapidly changing environmental, safety and
licensing requirements, (f) the effects of conservation on the use of electric energy, (g) uncertainties associated with the
development of a national energy policy and (h) increased competition from cogenerators, independent power producers and
retail wheeling (should open retail wheeling become a legal regulatory reality as wholesale wheeling has). Any of these factors
may require modification of facilities with resulting increases in construction and operation costs.
Factors Impacting Current and Future Operations of the System
Regulatory Matters ... As a municipal utility, the System is generally exempt from direct regulation by the Texas Public Utility
Commission ("PUC") except for appellate jurisdiction for rates set over any service area outside of the City limits. The System
does not currently serve areas outside the City limits. The System is also not subject to federal regulation in the establishment
of rates, the issuance of securities or the operation, maintenance or expansion of the System under current federal statutes and
regulations. However, the System is indirectly impacted by the actions of both State and federal regulatory agencies as a resuh
of, among other factors, its status as a power purchaser from Southwestern Public Service Company, and its competitive standing
with Southwestern. Because the City generally meets the rate tariffs of Southwestern, rate cases of Southwestern before the PUC
may result in changes in the System's rate tariffs, as well. In fact, in October, 1993, the PUC held a rate hearing initiated by
certain consumer groups and industrial customers of Southwestern which resulted in an approximately 2.9% decrease in rates
charged by Southwestern in the City. The City simultaneously adjusted its rate tariffs, which resulted in an approximately 2.6%
decline in the System's rates (the decline was slightly different because of differences in the composition of the City's customer
base). Ultimately, the ability of the System to increase its rates is dependent upon approval by the PUC of Southwestern's rate
increases. In addition, the City, as a wholesale customer of Southwestern, has generally intervened in its PUC and Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") filings.
Changes in Service Area ... The System's service area consists of the area within its current boundaries, except for a small
portion of the City which is served by the South Plains Electric Cooperative ("SPEC"). The area surrounding the City is
generally served by other investor owned utilities or electric cooperatives which have been certificated as to their right to serve
a distinct area. As a result of a settlement entered into in 1982 between the City and SPEC, the PUC has approved the
expansion of the City's service area into certain areas to the southeast and west of the City, if such area is eventually annexed
and becomes part of the City. The City is generally growing to the south and southwest, with the fastest area of growth being
the southwest, in the area certificated for service by SPEC.
26
Wholesale and Retail Wheeline •.• With the passage of the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (the "Energy Act"), FERC was given
broad authority to direct utilities under its jurisdiction to make their transmission systems available for use by others at
compensatory rates. This new "open-access" environment has begun to provide an expanded and more competitive market for
both generators and wholesale producers of electricity, and such increased competition has only begun to develop, involving
primarily cogenerators and independent power producers. In the recently completed session of the Texas Legislature, a new
public utility regulatory act for the State was enacted (it is currently awaiting action by the Governor); this act will possibly
expedite the changes which were begun through the enactment of the Energy Act. This act of the Legislature includes the
authorization for the first time in the State for wholesale wheeling of power. This legislation complements the provisions of
the Energy Act by authorizing regulatory exemptions for the sale of power on a wholesale basis in the State. Since the City
is interconnected only with Southwestern Public Service Company, it has historically been a "captive market" for Southwestern.
As the City has not had the opportunity to make a full assessment of this legislation (should it be signed into Jaw) and the recent
transmission tariff which was ftled with FERC by Southwestern, it cannot defmitively assess the impact of these developments
on the System. However, the City has given notice to Southwestern, in accordance with the terms of its power purchase
contract, that it intends to seek other suppliers of purchased power beginning in 1997. The City must still purchase the minimum
amounts of power from Southwestern under its contract through the fmal term thereof (see "Lubbock Power and Light -
Purchased Power"). While the City views the wholesale transmission developments favorably, they contain the threat of
increased competition for the System. As the area of law continues to develop, the City may fmd that large power customers
will seek to reduce their power costs by contracting with cogenerators, independent power purchasers or other remote power
producers. Unlike many utilities, the City has a long history of price and service competition and is optimistic that because of
its relatively low rates, it will continue to offer attractive rates to its customer base, although no assurance can be given that low-
priced power sources will not emerge as the market continues to develop.
A second aspect of the new legislation reduces the barriers contained in prior law which prevented a power generator like the
City from contracting with electric cooperatives and joint operating power agencies for joint construction and ownership of
generating properties. As a result, the City has requested its consulting engineer to examine the possibility of constructing a
jointly owned 400 MW gas-fired generating facility with the West Texas Municipal Power Agency and a consortium of electric
cooperatives. No determination has been made with respect to this project and the review of the undertakings is in the early
stages.
During the 1995 session of the Texas Legislature, legislation was introduced but not passed which would have provided for
"retail wheeling" in the State, that is, a retail customer located in one utility's service area could contract to obtain power from
another utility or non-utility source. Such retail wheeling is specifJ.caUy excluded from the new powers given to FERC under
the Energy Act. Many believe that this leaves authority for retail wheeling with state regulatory bodies and state legislatures.
The City cannot predict whether the State legislature will eventually enact laws authorizing retail wheeling in the State, but one
potential effect of this is that utilities with low-cost power, such as the System, may be better able to compete for new and
existing loads.
Competition with Southwestern Public Service Company . . . Few, if any other municipally-owned electric utilities in the State,
compete as directly as the System does with Southwestern. In recent years the System has continued to add market share versus
the Southwestern customer base. Jn competing with Southwestern, the City competes with an investor owned utility which has
a service base in five states and access to capital and management which is commensurate with its size. The City represents
one of, if not the, largest cities served by Southwestern. In recent years the City has generally been able to purchase relatively
low cost power from Southwestern to supplement its own production. The City believes that it can continue to provide a mix
of purchased power and generated power so that it can continue to operate the System profitably notwithstanding that it expects
that it will continue to have to match or beat the rates of Southwestern in order to maintain or increase its market share. In
addition, if the two utilities continue to offer power at the same or very similar rates, non-price competition factors will be an
important determinant to maintaining market share. The City is committed to offering its customers reliable service, convenience
in paying their electric bills, providing personal service and other measures which it believes are important in marketing the
System to the community.
Contribution to the City's General Fund ..• City records indicate that the System has long made an annual contribution to the
City's General Fund. Since 1979, the amount contributed each year has increased from approximately $1.35 million to
approximately $6.21 million in the year ended September 30, 1994. The System's contribution to the General Fund is in part
a payment in lieu of taxes, a payment in lieu of franchise taxes and a reimbursement of amounts collected attributable to street
lighting in the City. In 1994, the System's contribution to the General Fund represented approximately 8.34% of the City's
General Fund revenues (as compared to approximately 4.30% for the transfer from the sewer fund and 5.54% from the water
fund). As fmancial demands increase on the City, the City may look for increased contributions from its enterprise funds,
including the System, as a source of funding to meet its operating budget. Jn the future, it will continue to be important that
the needs of the City are appropriately balanced with those of the System if the System is to continue to provide competitive
rates in the increasingly competitive market, to maintain its access to the fmancial markets and to maintain and build new
generating and distribution facilities.
27
Environmental Matters . . . In ~nt years, Congress has amended the federal Clean Air Act in certain respects which impacts
the electric utility industry. On November 15, 1990, amendments to the Clean Air Act were enacted which seek to improve
the ambient air quality throughout the United States by the year 2000 through the reduction of sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide
emissions from electric utility power plants, particularly those fueled by coal. The System does not generate power through
coal-fired generation facilities, however, a portion ofthe power which is purchased from Southwestern is coal-produced. The
City believes that Southwestern is in compliance with provisions of the Clean Air Act which require reduced levels of sulphur
dioxide by the year 2000, but it is possible that Southwestern may have to take additional and expensive measures to comply
with the release levels mandated for the second phase of the Act, 'Which goes into effect in the year200S. No determination
has been made by the City of its long-range power and fuel suppliers. However, these environmental laws have required the
installation of continuous emission monitors at the City's gas generation facilities, may impact the City's options in the future
as to how it generates power, and could result in significant increases in the price of available power and fuel supplies.
28
INVESTMENTS
Fund lavestments. The City invests in investments authorized by Texas law in accordance with written investment policies
that are approved by the Investment Review Committee.
The City Council has delegated responsibility for the investment authority to the City Treasurer who is also the Director of
Support Services. The City Treasurer chairs the Investment Review Committee which also includes the Director of Electric
Utilities, Director of Management Services, Chief Accountant and Assistant Treasurer. Policy changes and updates are approved
by the committee. The committee reviews the performance of the investment portfolio on a monthly basis.
Both state law and the City's investment policies are subject to change.
Legal Investments. Undercurrent Texas law, the City is authorized to invest in:
1) Obligations of the United States or its instrumentalities;
2) Direct obligations of the State of Texas or its agencies;
3) Other obligations, the principal and interest on which are unconditionally guaranteed by the State of Texas or the United
States (or its agencies or instrumentalities);
4) Obligations of states, agencies, counties, cities, and other political subdivisions of any state having been rated as to
investment quality by a nationally recognized investment rating firm and having received a rating of not less than A or its
equivalent;

Bank, and that is accepted by a bank: organized and existing under the laws of the United States or any state, the short-term
obligations of which (or of a bank holding company of which the bank: is the largest subsidiary) are rated at least A-1, P-1,
or the equivalent by at least one nationally recognized credit rating agency.
8) Commercial paper with a stated maturity of 270 days or less from the date of its issuance that either: is rated not less than
A-1, P-1, or the equivalent by at least two nationally recognized credit rating agencies; or is rated at least A-1, P-1, or its

issued by a bank: organized and existing under the laws of the United States or any state thereof;
9) Fully collateralized direct repurchase agreements having a defmed termination date, secured by direct obligations of the
United States or its agencies and instrumentalities, pledged with a third party selected or approved by the political·entity,

State. "Repurchase agreement" means a simultaneous agreement to buy, hold for specified time, and then sell back at a
future date, obligations described above, the principal and interest of which are guaranteed by the United States, or any of
its agencies, in market value of not less than the principal amount of the funds disbursed. The term includes direct security
repurchase agreements and reverse security repurchase agreements.
Fully collateralized repurchase agreements shall in addition to the wording of the act be limited as follows: repurchase
agreements shall be collateralized at 102% of the money value of the transaction at the time of purchase and in no case
should the collateral value be allowed to go below 101%, the maturity of the collateral security shall be no longer than ten
years, and the market value of the collateral shall be priced at least weekly;
10) SEC-registered, no-load money market mutual funds with a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of 120 days or less
whose assets consist exclusively of the obligations described above and whose investment objectives include seeking to
maintain a stable net asset value of $1 per share. However, a city or county cannot invest in the aggregate more than 20
percent of its monthly average fund balance, excluding bond proceeds, in money market mutual funds or invest its funds,
or funds under its control, excluding bond proceeds, in any one money market mutual fund in an amount that exceeds 10
percent of the total assets of the money market mutual fund;
11) Common trust funds or comparable investment devices owned or administered by banks domiciled in this state and whose
assets consist exclusively of all or a combination of the obligations described above. The common trust funds of banks may
be used if they are available; they comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and applicable federal
regulations governing the investment of bond proceeds; and they meet the cash flow requirements and the investment needs
of the city.
29
Investment Policies. Under Texas law, the City is required to invest its funds under written investment policies that primarily
emphasize safety of principal and liquidity and that address investment diversification, yield, maturity, and the quality and
capability of investment management, and all City funds must be invested in investments that protect principal, are consistent
with the operating requirements of the City, and yield the highest possible rate of return within these constraints. Under Texas
law, City investments must be made "with judgement and care, under prevailing circumstances, that a person of prudence,
discretion, and intelligence would exercise in the management of the person's own affairs, not for speculation, but for
investment, considering the probable safety of capital and the probable income to be derived". No person may invest City funds
without express written authority from the City Treasurer.
The City maintains the minimum amount of cash in its bank accounts to meet daily needs, and to protect its principal while
receiving the highest yield possible from investing all temporary excess cash.
There are five objectives which the Investment Policy addresses. The primary objective of the investment policy is to preserve
the capital in the overall portfolio. Each investment transaction seeks to ftrst ensure that capital losses are avoided, whether
they be from securities defaults or erosion of market value. The second objective is to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet the
City's needs. The City is required to maintain 10% of its portfolio in instruments that mature in 180 days or less. The third
objective is diversify to avoid incurring unreasonable risks regarding securities owned. The fourth objective is to obtain the
highest yield on investments within the other four objectives. The fifth objective is to conform to all Federal, State, and other
legal requirements. The day to day investment activities are performed by the City's Assistant Treasurer.
The City may invest to the following limits as a percentage of its total portfolio:
100% in United States Treasury obligations
50% in Certificates of Deposit
40% in Federal Instrumentalities or Agencies
30% in Repurchase Agreements collateralized by Federal Instrumentalities, or
100% in Repurchase Agreements collateralized by United States Treasury obligations.
Investments in a qualifying Investment Pool (in accordance with Resolution dated May 28, 1992) should be limited to no more
than 5% of the total assets in the pool.
Diversification protects interest income from the volatility of interest rates and the avoidance of undue concentration of assets
in a specific maturity sector; therefore, portfolio maturities are staggered. Securities are also selected which provide for stability
of income. The asset allocation of the portfolio is flexible depending upon the outlook for the economy and the securities
market. Should conditions warrant, these guidelines can be exceeded by approval of at least two of the Investment Review
Committee members.

Average portfolio yield for the eight months period ending 5-31-95 was 5.554%.
The City invests with the intent to hold all investments to maturity which minimizes the risk of market price volatility.
No funds of the City are invested in mortgage-backed securities. There are no investments in derivatives except for a $2,000,000 Federal Home Loan Bank
Agency Floating Rate Note maturing July, 1996, which adjusts quarterly based on the following fonnula: tO-year Constant Maturity Treasury rate ("CMT")
plus 160 Basis Points minus 3-Month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"); market value on 5-31-95 was approximately $1,900,000 (1.30% of the market
value of the City's portfolio).
To prevent the possibility of loss of resoun:es, the City attempts to identify and limit exposure to default risk. Default risk is controlled through internal
procedures and controls. The use of a third party safekeeping agent and a delivery versus payment system control this risk. In addition, the City's investment
transactions are audited annually by an independent auditor.
SELECTED PROVISIONS OF THE BOND ORDINANCE
The City Council will adopt an ordinance (the "Ordinance") authorizing the Bonds, which will be in substantially the same fonn
as the Ordinances authorizing the outstanding Electric Light and Power System Revenue Bonds, pertinent provisions of which

33
In accordance with the ordinances authorizing the issuance of the Previously Issued Bonds, there is currently on deposit
to the credit of the Reserve Portion of the Bond Fund the sum of $3,413,183. By virtue of the issuance of the Bonds, the
amount required to be on deposit in the Reserve Portion of the Bond Fund is reduced to $2,631,784. No additional amount is
required to be deposited to the credit of the Reserve Portion in order that the total amount is not less than the average annual
principal and interest requirements of the outstanding Bonds Similarly Secured after giving effect to the issuance of the Bonds
(the "Required Reserve Fund Amount").
The Reserve Portion of the Bond Fund shall be made available for and reasonably employed in meeting the requirements
of the Bond Fund if need be, and if any amount thereof is so employed, the Reserve Portion in the Bond Fund shall be fully
restored to the Required Reserve Fund Amount as rapidly as possible from the first available Net Revenues of the System in
the System Fund subject only to the priority of payments hereinabove prescribed in Section 14. Any amounts in excess of the
Required Reserve Fund Amount shall be transferred to the System Fund. The amount on deposit in the Reserve Portion of the
Bond Fund which is in excess of the Required Reserve Fund Amount by virtue of the issuance of the Bonds shall be transferred
to the System Fund.
SECTION 16: Payment of Bonds. While any of the Bonds are outstanding, the proper officers of the City are hereby
authorized to transfer or cause to be transferred to the Paying Agent, from funds on deposit in the Bond Fund, including the
Reserve Portion, if necessary, amounts sufficient to fully pay and discharge promptly as each installment of interest and principal
of the Bonds accrues or matures or comes due by reason of redemption prior to maturity; such transfer of funds to be made in
such manner as wi1I cause immediately available funds to be deposited with the Paying Agent for the Bonds at the close of the
business day next preceding the date of payment for the Bonds.
SECTION 17: Deficiencies in Funds. That, if in any month the City shall, for any reason, fail to pay into the Bond
Fund the full amounts above stipulated, amounts equivalent to such deficiencies shall be set apart and paid into said Fund from
the fJ.rst available and unallocated Net Revenues of the System in the following month or months and such payments shall be
in addition to the amounts hereinabove provided to be otherwise paid into said Fund during such month or months.
SECTION 18: Excess Revenues. Any surplus Net Revenues of the System remaining after all payments have been made
into the Bond Fund and after all deficiencies in making deposits to said Fund have been remedied, may be used for any other
City purposes now or hereafter permitted by law, including the use thereof for the retirement in advance of maturity of the Bonds
Similarly Secured by the purchase of any of such Bonds Similarly Secured on the open market at not exceeding the market value
thereof. Nothing herein, however, shall be construed as impairing the right of the City to pay, in accordance with the provisions
thereof, any junior lien bonds legally issued and payable out of the Net Revenues of the System.
SECTION 19: Security of Funds. That moneys on deposit in the System Fund (except any amounts as may be properly
invested) shall be secured in the manner and to the fullest extent required by the laws of the State of Texas for the security of
public funds. Moneys on deposit in the Bond Fund shall be continuously secured by a valid pledge of direct obligations of, or
obligations unconditionally guaranteed by the United States of America, having a par value, or market value when less than par,
exclusive of accrued interest, at all times at least equal to the amount of money to be deposited in said Fund. AU sums deposited
in said Bond Fund shall be held as a trust fund for the benefit of the holders of the Bonds Similarly Secured, the beneficial
interest in which shall be regarded as existing in such holders. To the extent that money in the Reserve Portion of the Bond
Fund is invested under the provisions of Section 20 hereof, securing such money as provided otherwise in this section, is not
required.
SECTION 20: Investment of Reserve Portion of Bond Fund. The custodian bank shall, when authorized by the City
Council, invest the Reserve Portion of the Bond Fund in direct obligations of, or obligations guaranteed by the United States
of America, or invested in direct obligations of the Federal Intermediate Credit Banks, Federal Land Banks, Federal National

OTIIER RELEVANT INFORMATION
Ratings
Moody's Investors Service has assigned to the Bonds a rating of "Aaa", Standard & Poor's Ratings Group, a division of The
McGraw Hill-Companies, Inc. has assigned to the Bonds a rating of .R AAA" and Fitch Investors Service, L.P. has assigned to
the Bonds a rating of "AAA" with the understanding that upon delivery of the Bonds, a Municipal Bond Guaranty Insurance
Policy insuring the timely payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds will be issued. by MBIA Insurance Corporation.
An explanation of the significance of such ratings may be obtained from the company furnishing the rating. Such 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 such rating companies, if in the judgment of such rating companies, circumstances so warrant. Any such
downward revision or withdrawal of such ratings may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Bonds.
Tax Exemption
The delivery of the Bonds is subject to the opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that interest on the Bonds for federal income
tax purposes (1) will be excludable from gross income, as defmed 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. 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 Bonds, owned by a corporation will be included in such corporation's
adjusted current earnings for tax years beginning after 1989, for purposes of calculating the alternative minimum taxable income
of such corporation, other than an S corporation, a qualified mutual fund, a real estate investment trust (REIT), or a real estate
mortgage investment conduit (REMIC). A corporation's alternative minimum taxable income is the basis on which the
alternative minimum tax imposed by the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and the environmental tax imposed by the Superfund Revenue
Act of 1986 will be computed.
In rendering the foregoing opinions, Bond Counsel will rely upon representations and certifications of the City made in a
certificate dated the date of delivery of the Bonds pertaining to the use, expenditure, and investment of the proceeds of the Bonds
and will assume continuing compliance with the provisions of the Ordinance by the City subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds.
The Ordinance contains covenants by the City with respect to, among other matters, the use of the proceeds of the Bonds and
the facilities fmanced therewith by persons other than state or local governmental units, the manner in which the proceeds of
the Bonds are to be invested, the periodic calculation and payment to the United States Treasury of arbitrage "profits" from the
investment of the proceeds, and the reporting of certain information to the United States Treasury. Failure to comply with any
of these covenants would cause interest on the Bonds to be includable in the gross income of the owners thereof from the date
of issuance of the Bonds.
Except as described above, Bond Counsel expresses no other opinion with ·respect to any other federal, state or local tax
consequences under present law, or proposed legislation, resulting from the receipt or accrual of interest on, or the acquisition
or disposition of, the Bonds. Prospective purchasers of the Bonds should be aware that the ownership of tax-exempt obligations
such as the Bonds may result in collateral federal tax consequences to, among others, fmancial 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, 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 or Discount and Premium on Certain Bonds
The initial public offering price of certain Bonds (the "Discount Bonds") may be less than the amount payable on such Bonds
at maturity. An amount equal to the difference between the initial public offering price of a Discount Bond (assuming that a
substantial amount of the Discount Bonds of that maturity are sold to the public at such price) and the amount payable at maturity
constitutes original issue discount to the initial purchaser of such Discount BOnd. A portion of such original issue discount
allocable to the holding period of such Discount Bond by the initial purchaser will, upon the disposition of such Discount Bond
(including by reason of its payment at maturity), be treated as interest excludable from gross income, rather than as taxable gain,
46
for federal income tax purposes, on the same terms and conditions as those for other interest on the Bonds described above under
"Tax Exemption." Such interest is considered to be accrued actuariaUy in accordance with the constant interest method over
the life of a Discount Bond, taking into account the semiannual compounding of ace rued interest, at the yield to maturity on such
Discount Bond and generally wiU 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 and the environmental tax imposed by
Sections SS and S9A, respectively, 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 wiU 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, fmancial
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, 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 Bond by the initial owner
prior to maturity, the amount realized by such owner in excess of the basis of such Discount Bond in the hands of such owner
(adjusted upward by the portion of the original issue discount allocable to the period for which such Discount Bond was held)
is includable in gross income.
Owners of Discount Bonds should consult with their own tax advisors with respect to the determination of accrued original issue
discount on Discount Bonds for federal income tax purposes and with respect to the state and local tax consequences of owning
and disposing of Discount Bonds. It is possible that, under applicable provisions governing determination of state and local
income taxes, accrued interest on Discount Bonds may be deemed to be received in the year of accrual even though there wiU
not be a corresponding cash payment.
The initial public offering price of certain Bonds (the "Premium Bonds") may be greater than the amount payable on such Bonds
at maturity. An amount equal to the difference between the initial public offering price of a Premium Bond (assuming that a
substantial amount of the Premium Bonds of that maturity are sold to the public at such price) and the amount payable at
maturity constitutes premium to the initial purchaser of such Premium Bonds. The basis for federal income tax purposes of a
Premium Bond in the hands of such initial purchaser must be reduced each year by the amortizable bond premium, although
no federal income tax deduction is allowed as a result of such reduction in basis for amortizable bond premium. Such reduction
in basis will increase the amount of any gain (or decrease the amount of any loss) to be recognized for federal income tax
purposes upon a sale or other taxable disposition of a Premium Bond. The amount of premium which is amortizable each year
by an initial purchaser is determined by using such purchaser's yield to maturity.
Purchasers of the Premium Bonds should consult with their own tax advisors with respect to the determination of amortizable
bond premium on Premium Bonds for federal income tax purposes and with respect to the state and local tax consequences of
owning and disposing of Premium Bonds.
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 fmancial impact upon the City or its operations.
Registration and QualifiCation of Bonds for Sale
The sale of the Bonds has not been registered under the Federal Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance upon the
exemption provided thereunder by Scetion 3(a) (2); and the Bonds have not been qualified under the Sceurities Act ~f Texas
in reliance upon various exemptions contained therein; nor have the Bonds been quallfied under the securities acts of any
jurisdiction. The City assumes no responsibility for qualification of the Bonds under the securities laws of any jurisdiction in
which the Bonds may be sold, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred. This disclaimer of responsibility for
quallfication for sale or other disposition of the Bonds shall not be construed as an interpretation of any kind with regard to the
availability of any exemption from securities registration provisions.
Legal Investments and Eligibility to ~ure Public Funds in Texas
Section 9 of the Bond Procedures Act provides that the Bonds "shall constitute negotiable instruments, and are investment
securities governed by Chapter 8, Texas Uniform Commercial Code, notwithstanding any provisions of law or court decision
to the contrary, and are legal and authorized investments for banks, savings banks, trust companies, building and loan
associations, savings and loan associations, insurance companies, fiduciaries, and trustees; so long as the Bonds maintain an
investment grade rating of "A" or better, they are eligible investments for the sinking fund of cities, towns, villages, school
47
districts, and other political subdivisions or public agencies of the State of Texas". See "Ratings" for the current rating of the
Bonds. The Bonds are eligible to secure deposits of any public funds of the state, its agencies and political subdivisions, and
are legal security for those deposits to the extent of their market value. No review by the City has been made of the laws in
other states to determine whether the Bonds are legal investments for various institutions in those states.
Legal Opinions and No-Litigation CertifiCate
The City will furnish a complete transcript of proceedings had incident to the authorization and issuance of the Bonds, including
the unqualified approving legal opinion of the Attorney General of Texas approving the Initial Bond and to the effect that the
Bonds 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 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
Exemption" 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 Bonds,
or which would affect the provision made for their payment or security, or in any manner questioning the validity of said Bonds
will also be furnished. Bond Counsel was not requested to participate, and did not take part, in the preparation of the Official
Statement, and such firm has not assumed any responsibility with respect thereto or undertaken independently to verify any of
the information contained therein, except that, in its capacity as Bond Counsel, such firm has reviewed the information in the
Official Statement under the captions "Plan of Financing", "Bond Information" (except for the subcaption "Book-Entry-Only
System") and the subcaptions "Tax Exemption", "Tax Accounting Treatment of Discount/Premium Bonds" and "Legal
Investments and Eligibility to Secure Public Funds in Texas" under the caption "Other Relevant Information" and such firm is
of the opinion that the information relating to the Bonds and the Ordinance contained under such captions is accurate and correct
in all material respects addressed under such captions. The legal fee to be paid Bond Counsel for services rendered in
connection with the issuance of the Bonds is contingent on the sale and delivery of the Bonds. The legal opinion will accompany
the Bonds deposited with DTC or will be printed on the Bonds in the event of the discontinuance of the Book-Entry-Only
System. McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P. will pass upon certain matters for the Underwriters. The legal fee of such fmn
is contingent on the delivery of the Bonds.
Underwriting
The Underwriters have agreed, subject to certain conditions, to purchase the Bonds from the City at an aggregate discount of
$104,791.68 from the initial offering price of the Bonds. The Underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the Bonds if
any Bonds are purchased. The Bonds to be offered to the public may be offered and sold to certain dealers (including the
Underwriters and other dealers depositing Bonds into investment trusts) at prices lower than the public offering prices of such
Bonds and such public offering prices may be changed, from time to time, by the Underwriters.
VerifiCation of Arithmetkal and Mathematical Computations
The arithmetical accuracy of certain computations included in the schedules provided by First Southwest Company on behalf
of the City relating to (a) Computation of forecasted receipts of principal and interest on the Acquired Obligations and the
forecasted payments of principal and interest to redeem the Refunded Bonds, and (b) Computation of the yields on the Bonds
and the Federal Securities will be examined by KPMG Peat Marwick LLP, certified public accountants. Such computations will
be based solely on assumptions and information supplied by First Southwest Company on behalf of the City. KPMG Peat
Marwick LLP will restrict its procedures to examining the arithmetical accuracy of certain computations and will not make any
study or evaluation of the assumptions and information on which the computations are based and, accordingly, will not express
an opinion on the data used, the reasonableness of the assumptions, or the achievability of the forecasted outcome.
Financial Advisor
First Southwest Company is employed as Financial Advisor to the City in connection with the issuance of the Bonds. The
Financial Advisor's fee for services rendered with respect to the sale of the Bonds is contingent upon the issuance and delivery
of the Bonds. First Southwest Company, in its capacity as Financial Advisor, has relied on the opinion of Bond Counsel and
has not verified and does not assume any responsibility for the information, covenants and representations contained in any of
the legal documents with respect to the federal income tax status of the Bonds, or the possible impact of any present, pending
or future actions taken by any legislative or judicial bodies. ·

TAX INFORMATION
Ad Valorem Tax Law
The appraisal of property within the City is the responsibility of the Lubbock Central 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 aU property within the Appraisal District on the basis of 100% of its market value and is
prohibited from applying any assessment ratios. 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 chalJenge the determination of appraised value
of property within the City by petition filed with the Appraisal Review Board.
Reference is made to the VTCA, 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 VID, 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; minimum exemption $S ,000. The City grants an exemption to the market value of the residence
homestead of persons 6S years of age or older of $16,700; the disabled are also granted an exemption of $10,000.
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 $1,500 to a maximum of $3,000.
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 exempted from ad valorem
taxation. The City does not tax nonbusiness personal property and the Lubbock Central Appraisal District colJects taxes for the
City of Lubbock.
Article VID, Section 1-j of the Texas Constitution provides for "freeport property" to be exempted from ad valorem taxation.
Freeport property is defmed as goods detained in Texas for 175 days or less for the purpose of assembly, storage,
manufacturing, processing or fabrication .. The exemption became effective for the 1990-91 fiscal year and theresfter unless
action to tax such property was taken prior to April 1, 1990. Decisions to continue the tax may be reversed in the future;
decisions to exempt freeport property are not subject to reversal. The City has taken action to tax freeport property.
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 tum agrees not to levy a tax on all or part of the increased
value attributable to the improvements until the expiration of the agreement. The abatement agreement could last for a period
of up to 10 years. The City has adopted a tax abatement policy and has outstanding agreements that abate certain values for
1994 and, prospectively, 1995 and 1996 as described under "Valuation, Exemptions and Debt Obligations", following.

Property within the City is assessed as of January 1 of each year (except for business inventory which may, at the option of the
taxpayer, be assessed as of September 1); taxes become due October 1 of the same year, and become delinquent on February 1
of the following year. Split payments are not permitted. Discounts are not allowed. Taxpayers 65 years of age or older are
permitted by State law to pay taxes on homesteads in four installments with the fU'St due on February 1 of each year and the
final installment due on August 1.
Charges for penalty and interest on the unpaid balance of delinquent taxes are made as follows:
Month Penalt:t Interest I2Y!!
February 6% 1% 7%
March 7% 2% 9%
April 8% 3% 11%
May 9% 4% 13%
June 10% 5% 15%
July 12% 6% 18%
After July, penalty remains at 12%, and interest increases at the rate of 1% each month. In addition, 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 the City and all other taxing entities. Federal law does not allow for the
collection of penahy 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 in bankruptcy or by order of the
bankruptcy court.
The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA), enacted on August 9, 1989, contains
certain provisions which affect the time for protesting property valuations, the fixing of tax liens and the collection of penalties
and interest on delinquent taxes on real property owned by the FDIC and the RTC.
Under FIRREA, real property held by the FDIC or RTC is still subject to ad valorem taxation, but (i) no real property of the
FDIC or RTC is subject to foreclosure or sale without the consent of the FDIC or RTC and no involuntary lien shall attach to
such property, (ii) the FDIC or RTC shall not be liable for any penalties or fines, including those arising from the failure to
pay any real property tax when due and (ill) notwithstanding the failure of a person to challenge an appraisal in accordance with
State law, such value will be determined as of the period for which such tax is imposed.

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 sufficient to provide for the payment of principal of and interest on all ad valorem tax debt within the limits
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 Assessed Valuation for all City purposes. The City operates under a Home Rule Charter which
adopts the constitutional provisions.
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 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 Tax Code:
The City must annually calculate and publicize its "effective tax rate" and "rollback tax rate". The City Council may not adopt
a tax rate that exceeds the lower of the rollback tax rate or 103% of the effective tax rate until it bas held a public hearing on
the proposed increase following notice to the taxpayers and otherwise complied with the Tax Code. 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 following 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) 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 Tax Code provides that certain cities and counties in the State may submit a proposition to the voters to authorize up to 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.
In January, 1995, voters in the City approved an additional one-eighth cent sales tax; collection ofthe tax will begin in October,
1995.
Reference is made to the Tax Code for defmitive requirements for the levy and collection of ad valoremtaxes and the calculation
of the various de(med rates.

Expenditures of the various taxing bodies within the territory of the City are paid out of ad valorem taxes levied by these taxing bodies on properties within the City.
These political taxing bodies are independent of the City and may incur borrowings to finance their expenditures. This statement of direct and estimated overlapping
ad valorem tax bonds was developed from information contained in "Texas Municipal Reports" published by the Municipal Advisory Council of Texas and from
information furnished by 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. Furthermore, certain of the entities listed may have
issued additional bonds since the date stated above, and such entities may have programs requiring the issuance of substantial amounts of additional bonds the amount
of which cannot be determined. This table reflects the estimated share of overlapping funded debt of the City.

{1) Through Fiscal Year Ended 9-30-91 it was the City's policy each Fiscal Year to transfer from Water Enterprise Fund surplus
to the General Fund an amount at least equivalent to debt service requirements on Waterworks System General Obligation Debt.
Beginning with Fiscal Year Ending 9-30-92 the.City budgetedand commenced a multi-year planned shift to direct support of
Waterworks System General Obligation Debt by transfer from Water Enterprise Fund surplus to the General Obligation Interest
and Sinking Fund; for Fiscal Year Ending 9-30-95 $3,449,991 is a budgeted transfer to the Interest and Sinking Fund for
Waterworks System General Obligation debt service. This staged shift is anticipated to continue through Fiscal Year Ending
9-30-96 with total Waterworks System General Obligation debt service for each year thereafter to be provided by direct transfer
from Water Enterprise Fund surplus.
The multi-year staged shift is necessary to avoid exceeding the City's "rollback tax rate" {see "Tax Rate Limitation") as a portion
of the Interest and Sinking Fund Tax Rate formerly levied for Waterworks System General Obligation debt service is shifted
each year to the General Fund tax rate. The effect of this reallocation, beginning with FiscaiYear Ending9-30-92, can be seen
in the distribution of the Tax Rate under "Tax Rate, Levy and Collection History" and in "Interest and Sinking Fund Budget
Projection".
The City bas no outstanding revenue bonds payable from a lien on the net revenues of the Waterworks System.

$2,067,847.
Beginning in Fiscal Year Ending 9-30-96, similarly to that described under "The Waterworks System", above, a staged shift

Pension Funds
Texas Municipal Retirement System ... AU permanent, full time City employees who are not firefighters are covered by the
Texas Municipal Retirement System. The System 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. The System operates
independently of its me!llber cities.
The City of Lubbock joined the System in 1950 to supplement Social Security. All City employees except ftrefighters are
covered by Social Security. Options offered under the System, 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 contn'bution rate is 6% of gross salary. The City's contribution rate is calculated
each year using actuarial techniques applied to experience. The 1994 contribution rate was 10.42%; the 1995 contribution rate
is 11.48%. 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, 1993, assets held by the System, not including those of the Supplemental Dissbility Fund which is "pooled",
for the City of Lubbock were $95,946,540. Unfunded accrued liabilities on December 31, 1993, were $25,547,239, which is
being amortized over a 25 year period beginning January, 1995. Totai contributions by the City to the System for Calendar Year
1993 were $4,579,094.
Firemen's Relief and Retirement Fund .•. City of Lubbock firefighters are members of the locally administered Lubbock
Firemen's Relief and. Retirement Fund, operating underan act passed in 1937 by the State Legislature and adopted by City
fuefighters, 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 fmancial officer, or his representative. Execution of the act i~ monitored by the Firemen's
Pension Commissioner, who is appointed by the Governor.
Benefits of retired ftremen are determined on a "formula" or a "final sslary" plan. Actuarial reviews are performed every two
years, and the fund is audited annually.. Firefighters .contribute 11% of full sslary 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 fighfighter'.s contribution rate that the City's rate paid into the Texas Municipal Retirement System
and FICA bean to the rate other employees pay into the Texas Municipal Retirement System and FICA. The City's contribution
rate for 1995 is 15.42%.
As of December 31, 1993, unfunded liabilities were $15,006,685 which is being amortized over a 28 year period beginning
January 1, 1993. Contributions by the City to the Fund for Calendar Year 1993 were $1,300,725.

Municipal Sales Tax History
The City has adopted the Municipal Sales and Use Tax Act, VATCS, 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 Bonds. In addition, as noted under "Tax Rate Limitation", in January, 1995, voters approved
the levy of a one-eighth cent sales and use tax as authorized by V ATCS, Tax Code, Chapter 323, as amended; collection will
commence in October, 1995; proceeds of the one-eighth cent sales tax are for the use and benefit of the City to replace property
tax revenues lost as a result of the adoption of the tax and are not pledged to the payment of the Bonds. Collections and
enforcements are effected through the.offices of the Comptroller of Public Accounts, State of Teitas, who remits the proceeds
of the tax, after dCduction of a 2% service fee, to the City monthly. Revenue from the 1% Local Sales and Use Tax, for the
years shown, has been:

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 of Lubbock for each of the fiscal years ended September 30; 1984 through September 30, 1993. The
City's current report has been· submitted to GFOA to determine its eligibility for another Certificate.
l - .
General Fund Balance ... The City's objective is to achieve and maintain a General Fund balance equivalent to two months
operating cost of the General Fund Budget. This should be sufficient to provide financing for necessary projects, unanticipated
contingencies, and fluctuations in anticipated revenues.
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.
A-20
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 also m;eived the GFOA'11 award for Distinguished Budget Presentation for the following budget years: October 1,
1983-88 and October 1, 1990-93. The City has submitted the current budget to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another
certificate.
Insurance .•. Except for Airport liability insurance, the City is self-insured for liability, workers' compensation, and health
benefits coverage. Insurance policies are maintained with large deductibles for ftre 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 9-30-94 the reserves had the following balances:
Reserve for self-insurance -health
Reserve for self-insurance -other than health

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
The Honorable David R. Langston
Mayor of Lubbock
Members of City Council
City of Lubbock, Texas
We have audited the accompanying general purpose financial statements of the City of Lubbock,
Texas, as of September 30, 1994, and for the year then ended, as listed in the Table of Contents.
These general purpose financial statements are the responsibility of the City's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and
Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining,
on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the general purpose financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimate made by management, as well as evaluating the overall general purpose financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the general purpose financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the City of Lubbock, Texas, as of September 30, 1994,
and the results of its operations and the cash flows of its proprietary fund types for the year then
ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Note III N. to the general purpose financial statements, in 1994 the City changed
its method of accounting for closure and postclosure care costs of municipal landfills to conform
with Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 18.
As discussed in Note VI to the general purpose financial statements, in 1994 the City restated its
beginning fund balance/retained earnings to conform with Governmental Accounting Standards
Board Statement No. 14.

Out audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the general purpose finanCial
statements taken as a whole. The combining financial statements listed in the Table of Contents
are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the general
purpose financial statements of the City of Lubbock, Texas. Such information has been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the general purpose financial
statements and, in our opinion, is fairly presented in all material respects in relation to the general
purpose financial statements taken as a whole.

CITY OF LUBBOCK, TEXAS
Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 1994
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, inc:uding 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 Financia!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 1994 general purpose financial
statements. The effect of the changes on fund equity due to the adoption of GASB Statement No. 14
is included in Note VI.
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 \\·hich 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 Units have been presented as blended Component Units because the
Component Unit's governing body is substantially the same as the governing body of the City, or the
Component Unit provides services almost entirely to the primary government.
The Urban Renewal Agency (URA) was formed to provide low-income housing to qualifying
recipients. Houses are purchased with Community Development Block Grant funds and offered at
below-market interest rate mortgages to qualifying recipients. As loans are repaid, monies are
accumulated to purchase additional housing. The Mayor, with the consent of the City Council, is
empowered by law to appoint the nine member board to govern operations. The agency is funded by
appropriations from the City's Community Development Block Grant. While URA is legally
separate from the City, it is reported as if it were part of the primary government because it provides
services almost entirely to the primary government. Financial activity is included in the Community
Development Expendable Trust Fund for fiscal year 1994. Prior to fiscal year 1994, URA did not
meet the criteria for inclusion in the City's reporting entity (See Note Vl).
Lubbock Arts Alliance Grants Review Committee is a subcommittee of the Lubbock Arts
Alliance, Inc. This committee recommends projects to be funded with hotel-motel tax proceeds for
approval by the City Council. This committee is funded by appropriations from the City's share of
hotel-motel tax proceeds and the financial activity is included in the Arts and Related Items Special
Revenue 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.

the City. The State Firemen's Pension Commission exercises general oversight authority over the
Fund; 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. Except for the Grants Committee, reported as a
Component Unit of the City of Lubbock, the Alliance is not fiscally dependent on the City, and the
City is not able to exert its will on the Alliance.
Lubbock Health Facilities Development Corporation (LHFDC) promotes health facilities
development. The 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.
Omnimax is a theater financed with proceeds from bonds issued by the City. The Omnimax is
leased to the Science Spectrum Inc. The City Council is not able to impose its will on the
organization. The City has a contractual agreement with Science Spectrum, Inc. for the operation and
maintenance of the theater and for a percentage of net revenues to be allocated to the City for debt
service reimbursement.
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 Corporation does not constitute indebtedness of the
City. The City is not able to impose its will on the LHFC.
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:
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 he 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.
Debt Service Funds are 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 part 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, but do not have a measurement focus, as
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.
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 presently consisting of general obligation bonds, certificates of obligation, long-term notes
payable, long-term leases, 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 is followed for
the governmental fund types, special revenue funds, debt service funds, capital project funds,
expendable trust funds, and agency 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 and sales taxes, 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.

Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 1994
NOTE I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
C. BASIS OF ACCOUNTING CCONTINUEDl
Governmental fund types and expendable trust funds are accounted for using a current financial
resources measurement focus. 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 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 not exceed
budgeted appropriations at the fund level. Appropriations for budgeted funds lapse at year end.
Budgeted amounts shown are from the revised budget, adopted by resolution on September 9, 1994.
During the year, the budget was revised to reflect a 1.50% increase in total revenues and 1.16%
increase in total operating expenses/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, prior year encumbrances and related appropriations are
re-established through a budget amendment. Re-established encumbrances at October I, 1994 for
governmental funds of $1,058,333 are as follows:

NOTE I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
F. ASSETS. LIABILITIES AND FUND EQUITY
Equity in Pooled Cash and Investments-A "Pooled Cash" concept is used to maintain the cash and
investment accounts in the accounting records, Under this method, all cash is pooled for investment
purposes and each fund has an equity in the pooled cash amount and earnings therefrom. All amounts
included in the pooled cash and investment accounts are considered to be cash and cash equivalents.
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the City considers cash and cash equivalents (including
restricted cash and cash equivalents) to be currency on hand, demand deposits with banks, and
amounts included in pooled cash and investment accounts due to their liquid nature. Cash and cash
equivalents are included in both unrestricted as well as restricted assets.
Investments other than those in the deferred compensation plan are stated at cost or amortized cost.
Property Tax Receivable-Property taxes are assessed and liens attach on valuations as of January I,
levied on October 1 of each year, and become delinquent February I of the following year.
Uncollected taxes, net of the estimated uncollectible amount, are recorded as receivables in the
General 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 Receivables-Within the Electric, Water, Sewer and Solid Waste Enterprise Funds.
an amount has been recorded for services rendered but not billed as of the close of the fiscal year.
Amounts billed are reflected as receivables net of an allowance for uncollectibles.
Inventories -Inventories in the Proprietary Fund Types consist of expendable supplies held for
consumption. Inventories are valued at cost using the average cost method of valuation. Proprietary
Fund Types use the consumption method of accounting, {i.e., inventory is expensed when used rather
than when purchased).
Prepaid Expenses-Prepaid expenses are accounted for under the consumption method.
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 assets restricted for the payment of debt service over certain 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 Asset 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 foltows:
Improvements
Buildings
Equipment
I 0-50 years
I 5-50 years
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 $16,229,230 of which $2,042,232 has
been capitalized.

F. ASSETS. LIABILITIES AND FUND EQUITY (CONTINUED)
Advance 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
which indicates they do not constitute available spendable resources.
G. RISK MANAGEMENT
The City is self insured for medical and dental coverage. The liability for incurred claims represents
estimates for medical and dental claims incurred as of September 30, 1994. Some of these claims
were reported at September 30, 1994, and others may not be reported until a later date which are
incurred but not reported (IBNR). IBNR is actuarially determined by the City's independent
insurance administrator.
The City's self insured worker's compensation and general liability programs are 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 worker's compensation program in the Insurance Fund (an Internal
Service Fund) by charging premiums based upon losses, administrative fees and reserve requirements.
The Fund establishes claim liabilities based on estimates of the ultimate cost of claims (including
future claim adjustment expenses) that have been reported but not settled, and of claims that have
been incurred but not reported. The length of time for which such costs must be estimated varies
depending on the coverage involved. 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 coverages such as general liability. 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 made.
Additionally, property and boiler coverage is accounted for in the Insurance 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 $2,500 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 Insurance 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 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-The City has a 1% sales tax levy 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 I Oth of
the next month.
In addition, voters approved a 1/2 cent sales tax increase to fund land and other incentives for the
Department of Defense Accounting Office to be located in Lubbock, Texas. When that project was
35

NOTE I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
H. REVENUES. EXPENSES AND EXPENDITURES (CONTINUED)
canceled by the U.S. government, voters repealed the tax. However, due to the timing of the
imposition and revocation of the increased tax, the additional 1/2 cent sales tax was collected for the
first quarter of fiscal year 1994. A portion of the collected funds was used to defease approximately
$3,600,000 of bonds issued to fund the construction of a 550 bed psychiatric hospital for the Texas
Department of Corrections. The remaining amount is to be used to fund specific projects as approved
by the City Council.
Grant Revenue from federal and state grants is recognized to the extent that the related expense has
been incurred.
lnterfund 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.
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. Unused vacation leave is lost at the end of the 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 I 1/4 days per month with unlimited accrual status. After I 5
years of continuous full time service for non-civil service personnel, vested sick leave is paid on
retirement or termination at the current hourly rate for up to 90 days. Civil service personnel are paid
for up to 90 days accrued sick leave after one year of employment. The Texas Civil Service laws
dictate certain benefits and personnel policies above and beyond those policies of the City.
In November 1992, the GASB issued Statement No. 16, "Accounting for Compensated Absences".
In accordance with this statement, the City has recorded a liability for accumulated vacation, sick
leave, and certain salary related payments, such as employer portion of social security and medicare.
The cumulative effect of adoption of GASB Statement No. 16 was not significant to the financial
statements 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 fund
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 -Retirees of the City of Lubbock may purchase optional 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.
Financial activity is reported in the Health Insurance Internal Service Fund.

The deficit of$58 in the Canyon Lakes Capital Projects Fund results from necessary expenditures for
capital projects. The deficit will be funded in the 1994-95 fiscal year by the Parks Capital Projects
Fund. ·
The deficit of $509,783 in the Storm Sewer and Drainage Capital Projects Fund results from costs
incurred to comply with Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Standards for Stormwater Quality.
These costs were incurred prior to the establishment of the Stormwater Utility Enterprise Fund,
(established October I, 1993). The reimbursements for these expenditures will be made by the

DEFERRED CHARGE
The deferred charges of $1,770,032 and $1,718,821 at September 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively,
represent 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, 1994 is $1,641,333. 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 pai'd 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, 1994 and 1993, I ,317,934 and I ,218,590
MMBTU, respectively. had been delivered, and remaining proven reserves at September 30, 1994 and
1993 were 2,104,273 and 2,203,617 MMBTU, respectively.
On August 25, 1994, the City contracted for the purchase of natural gas to be delivered in future
years. An amount of $128,699 is included in deferred charges which represents a deposit on future
gas deliveries. The City is obligated to purchase 3 million MMBTU of gas per year in fiscal years
1995 and 1996 and 4 million MMBTU of gas in fiscal years 1997, and 1998, and 1999.

E. RETIREMENT PLANS
Each qualified employee is included in one of two retirement plans in which the City of Luhbock
participates. These are the Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS) and the Firemen's Relief and
Retirement Fund. 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 nontraditional, joint contributory, defined contribution plan in the state-wide TMRS, one of
over 636 administered by TMRS, an agent multiple-employer public employee retirement system. It
is the opinion of the TMRS management that the plans in TMRS are substantially defined
contribution plans, but they have elected to provide additional voluntary disclosure to help foster a
better understanding of some of the nontraditional characteristics of the plan.
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 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. When added to the employee's accumulated
contributions and the monetary credits for service since the plan began, the updated service credit
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 I 0 or more years of service or with 25 years of service
regardless of age. The plan also provides death and disability benefits. A member is vested after 10
years, but he must leave his accumulated contributions in the plan. If a member withdraws his own
money, he is not entitled to the employer-financed monetary credits, even if he was vested. 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 6%, and the City matching percent is currently 200%, both
as adopted· by the governing body of the City. Under the state law governing TMRS, the City
contribution rate is annually determined by the actuary. 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 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 retirement becomes effective. The prior service contribution
rate amortizes the unfunded actuarial liability over the remainder of the plan's 25-year amortization
period. When the City periodically adopts updated service credits and increases its annuities in effect,
the increased unfunded actuarial liability is to be amortized over a new 25-year period. Currently, the
unfunded actuarial cost method is used f, . determining the City contribution rate. Contributions are

NOTE III. DETAIL NOTES ON ALL FUNDS AND ACCOUNT GROUPS
E. RETIREMENT PLANS (CONTINUED)
made monthly by both the employees and the City. Since the City needs to know its contribution rate
in advance to budget for it, there is a one-year lag between the actuarial valuation that is the basis for
the rate and the calendar year when the rate goes into effect.
The City's total payroll in fiscal year 1994 was $55,813,743 and the City's contributions were based
on a payroll of $42,838,84 I. Both the City and the covered employees made the required
contributions, amounting to $4,454,452 (10.34% of covered payroll for the months in calendar year
1993, 7.32% normal cost plus 3.02% to amonize the unfunded actuarial liability, and 10.42% for the
months in calendar year 1994, 7.39% normal cost plus 3.03% to amonize the unfunded actuarial
liability) for the City and $2,570,333 (6%) for the employees. Of the $4,454,452 employer
contributions, approximately $3,157,605 was allocated to normal cost while approximately
$1,296,847 was allocated to amonize the unfunded actuarial liability. There were no related·pany
transactions.
Funding Status and Progress
Even though the substance of the City's plan is not to provide a defined benefit in some form, some
additional voluntary disclosure is appropriate due to the nontraditional nature of the defined
contribution plan which had an initial unfunded pension benefit obligation due to the monetary credits
granted by the City for services rendered before the plan began and which can have additions to the
unfunded pension benefit obligation through the periodic adoption of increases in benefit credits and
benefits. GASB Statement No. 5 defines pension benefit obligation as a standardized disclosure
· measure of the actuarial present value of pension benefits, adjusted for the effects of projected salary
increases, estimated to be payable in the future as a result of employee service to date. The measure
· is intended to help users assess the funding status of public employee pension plans, assess progress
made in accumulating sufficient assets to pay benefits when due, and make comparisons among
public employee pension plans.
The pension benefit obligation shown below is similar in nature to the standardized disclosure
measure required by GASB Statement No.5 for defined benefit plans, except that there is no need to
project salary increases since the benefit credits earned for service to date are not dependent upon
future salaries. The calculations were made as pan of the annual actuarial valuation as of December
31, 1993. Because of the money-purchase nature of the plan, the interest rate assumption, currently
8.5% per year, does not have as much impact on the results as it does for a defined benefit plan.
Market value of assets is not determined for each city's plan, but the market value of assets for TMRS
as a whole was 118.0% of book value as of December 31, 1993.

FIREMEN'S RELIEF AND RETIREMENT FUND
Plan Description
The Board of Trustees of the Lubbock Firemen's Relief and Retirement Fund is the administrator of a
single-employer defined benefit pension plan maintained for members of the City of Lubbock fire
Department under provisions of applicable law of the State of Texas.
All firefighters in the Lubbock fire Department are covered by the Lubbock Firemen's Relief and
Retirement Fund. The table below summarizes the membership ofthe fund at December 31, 1993.

The Lubbock Firemen's Relief and Retirement Fund provides service retirement, death, disability and
withdrawal benefits. These benefits become fully vested after 20 years of credited service.
Employees may retire at age 50 with 20 years of service. An e~~:rly service retirement benefit is
provided for employees who terminate employment with 20 or more years of service. A partially
vested benefit is provided for employees who terminate employment with at least 10 but less than 20
years of service. The monthly benefit at normal retirement, payable in a Joint and 2/3 to Spouse form
of annuity, is equal to 68.75% of the final 48-month average salary plus $94.00 per month for each
year of service in excess of 20 years. This plan of benefits, which ls ·described below as the "New
Plan", became effective December 30, I 993. It was adopted as a result of the December 31, 1992
valuation. Prior to December 20, 1993, the "Old Plan" was in effect. Under that plan the normal
service retirement benefit was equal to 66.75% of final 48-month average salary plus $82.00 per
month for each year of service in excess of 20 years. Under that plan, Lubbock firefighters were
required to contribute 11.00% of their pay to the fund. Lubbock firefighters are also required to
contribute I 1.00% of their pay to the fund under the New Plan. At the present time, the City's
contributions are based on a formula which causes the City's contribution rate to fluctuate from year
to year. Under the Old Plan the City was required to make contributions which would average not
less than 13.50% of payroll over the 28-year period beginning January I, 1991. Under the New Plan
the City is required to make contributions which will average not less than 14.00"/o of payroll over the
28-year period beginning January I, 1993. The benefit and contribution provisions of this plan are
authorized by the Texas Local firefighters Retirement Act (TELFRA).
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Plan Asset Matters
I. Basis of Accounting The Lubbock Firemen's Relief and Retirement Fund financial statements for
years prior to 1990, are prepared using the cash basis of accounting. Subsequent years financial
statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accountinJZ .. The fund's fiscal year is the calendar year.
Employee and employer contributions are recogniz·c<' a; revenues in the period in which they are
earned by the fund and expenses are recorded when im;;med.

2. Method Used to Value Investments The Lubbock Firemen's Relief and Retirement Fund's
investments are reported at original cost. Discount accretion and premium amortization are recorded
as adjustments to investment income over the life of the security. Investment income is recognized as
it is earned. Gains and losses on sales of assets are recognized on the transaction date.
Funding Status and Progress
The amount shown as "Pension Benefit Obligation" is a standardized disclosure measure of the
present value of pension benefits estimated to be payable in .the future as a result of employee service
to date. These benefits have been adjusted for the effects of projected salary increases. The "pension
benefit obligation" is the actuarial present value of credited projected benefits and is intended to help
users assess the Lubbock Firemen's Relief and Retirement Fund's funding status on a going-concern
basis, assess progress made in accumulating sufficient assets to pay benefits when due, and make
comparisons among public employee retirement systems. This measure is independent of the
actuarial funding method used to perform the actuarial valuation.
The pension benefit obligation as of December 31, 1992 is based on the actuarial valuation as of
December 31, 1992, and the plan in effect on that date. As a result of that valuation a new plan of
benefits has been adopted effective December 31, 1993. Significant actuarial assumptions used
include (a) a rate of return on the investment of present and future assets equal to 8.00% per year
compounded annually, (b) projected salary increases of 5.00% per year compounded annually.
attributable to inflation, (c) additional projected salary increases which averages approximately
1.00% per year, attributable to promotion and longevity and (d) no postretirement benefit increases.

The pension benefit obligation as of December 31, 1993 is based on the New Plan. This plan was in
effect on that date and was determined as part of an actuarial update as of that date. The actuarial
assumptions used are the same as those listed above for the December 31, 1992 valuation. As a result
. of the adoption of the New Plan, the pension benefit obligation as of December 31, 1993 increased
$2,008,996 over what it would have been under the Old Plan.

Contributions Required and Contributions Made
For the plan in effect December 31, 1992 the funding policy of the Lubbock Firemen's Relief and
Retirement Fund required contributions equal to 11.00% of pay by the firemen and contributions
which would average not less than 13.50% of payroll by the City over the 28-year period beginning
January 1, 1991. The New Plan adopted as a result of the December 31, 1992 valuation requires
firemen contributions of 11.00% of pay and City contributions which will average not Jess than
14.00% of payroll over the 28-year period beginning January 1, 1993. For the 1993 calendar year,
contributions made were equal to 11.00.% of pay by the firemen and 14.4974% of payroll by the City
of Lubbock.
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 is determined as a
percentage of payroll. The excess of the total contribution rate over the normal cost 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 accrued liability is determined using a level percentage of payroll
method. For the Old Plan in effect on December 31, 1992, the normal cost is 19.16% of pay and the
amortization period is approximately 13 years. For the New Plan adopted in December 1993 the
normal cost is 20.33% of pay and the amortization period is approximately 27 years based on a
December 31, 1992 valuation date.
For the 1992 calendar year, total contributions of $2,222,803 were required and paid into the fund.
For the 1993 calendar year, total contributions of $2,358,925 were required and paid into the fund.
Ten years of the standardized measure of the pension obligation is unavailable; the information will
be presented only for as many years as the measure is available.
Further details concerning the financial position of the Fund and the latest actuarial valuation are
available by contacting the Board of Trustees, Firemen's Relief and Retirement Fund, City of
Lubbock, P.O. Box 2000, Lubbock, Texas 79457.

The City offers its employees a deferred compensation plan created in accordance with Internal
Revenue Code Section 457. The plan, available to all City employees, permits 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.
All amounts of compensation deferred under the plan, all property and rights purchased with those
amounts, and all income attributable to those amounts, property, or rights are (until paid or made
available to the employee or other beneficiary) solely the property and rights of the City (without
being restricted to the provisions of benefits under the plan), subject only to the claims of the City's
general creditors. Participant's rights under the plan are equal to those of general creditors of the City
in an amount equal to the fair market value of the deferred account for each participant.
In management's opinion,' the City has no liability for losses under the plan but does have the duty of
due care that would be required of an ordinary prudent investor. The City believes that it is unlikely
that it will use the assets to satisfy the claims of general creditors in the future. All assets of the plan
are held by an independent administrator and valued at market. The deferred compensation plan is
included in the City's financial statements as an agency 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, 1994 the
Board was comprised of 18 members, two of which represented the City of Lubbock.
The City contracted with the CRMW A to reimburse it for a portion of the cost of the Canadian River
Dam and aqueduct system in exchange for surface water. Accordingly, such payments are made
solely out of water system revenues and are not general obligations of the City. The City's pro rata .
share of annual fixed and variable operating and reserve assessments is recorded as an expense of
obtaining surface water.
The long-term debt is 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, 1994, principal payments in the amount of $705,927 reduced the
amount outstanding due to the authority '11 September 30, 1994 to $23,823,53 I, due in annual
installments of$1,35 1,543 including in teres! of2.632% until the year 2018. The above cost for the

NOTE III. DETAIL NOTES ON ALL FUNDS AND ACCOUNT GROUPS
G. SURfACE WATER SUPPLY (CONTINUED)
rights are being amortized over 85 years. The cost and debt are recorded in the Water Enterprise
Fund.
GAAP requires accounting for debt service as a reduction in construction obligation payable and
related interest expense. However, the contract between the City and CRMW A requires the
classification of payments to CRMW A to be reflected as operating expenses of the Water Fund.
Accordingly, the adjustment required to convert GAAP expenses to the contractual agreement results
in an adjustment to increase operating expenses for principal payments in the amount of $705,927,
interest in the amount of$645,615 and reduce amortization expense by $387,128.
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 $191,697 was paid to the BRA for maintenance and operating costs in fiscal
year 1994.
The BRA issued $16,970,000 in revenue bonds in 1989 and $39,685,000 in revenue bonds in 1991.
Construction of the dam and lake facilities began in 1989. The City is obligated to provide sufficient
funds over the next 30 years to service the debt requirement of these bonds. The financial activity
along with the related obligation is accounted for in the Water Enterprise Fund.
At September 30, 1994, certain mineral rights associated with land owned by individuals located in
the Lake Alan Henry site were not 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 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 cost.

In fiscal year 1994, the City adopted GASB Statement No. 18, "Accounting for Municipal Solid
Waste Landfill Closure and Postclosure Care Costs".
State and federal laws and regulations require the City to place a final cover on its landfill site when
it stops accepting waste and to perform certain maintenance and monitoring functions at the site 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 operating expense in each period based on landfill capacity used as of each
balance sheet date. The effects of the implementation have been reflected as a restatement of the
beginning retained earnings of the solid waste enterprise fund as discussed in Note VI.

CITY OF LUBBOCK, TEXAS
Notes to Financial Statements

NOTE III. DETAIL NOTES ON ALL FUNDS AND ACCOUNT GROUPS
N. LANDFILL CLOSURE AND POSTCLOSURE CARE COST (CONTINUED)
The $6,465,141 reported as landfill. closure and postclosure care liability at September 30, 1994,
represents the cumulative amount reported to date based on the use of 69.8 percent of the estimated
capacity of the landfill. This amount includes $454,307 and $431,592 of expense applicable to fiscal
1994 and 1993, respectively. The City will recognize the remaining estimated cost of closure and
postclosure care of $2,799,259 as the remaining estimated capacity is filled. These amounts are
based on what it would cost to perform all closure and postclosure care in 1994. The City expects to
close the landfill in the year 1998. 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 and Government Guarantee mechanism for providing
this assurance. The City expects to finance closure 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 agencies. The
grant programs are subj~:ct to audit by agents of the granting authority to insure 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.· LITIGATIQN
The City is involved in lawsuits arising in the normal course of business, including claims ·
property damage, personal injury and personnel practices, disputes over contract awards and property
condemnation proceedings, arid suits contesting the legality of certain taxes. In the opinion of
management, the ultimate outcome of these lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the
City's financial position as of September 30, 1994.
NOTE V. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The City is subject to off-balance sheet risk associated with assets that are not recorded in the
financial statements, specifically with respect to United States Treasury Securities--State and Local
Government Series, held ip five irrevocable trusts. These include:
• a trust to be used to refund a portion of the City's Electric Light and Power System Refunding
Revenue Bonds, Series 1983
• a trust to be used to refund a portion of the City's Electric Light and Power System Refunding
Revenue Bonds, Seriesl984 ·
• a trust to be used to refund a portion of General Obligation Bonds, Series 1983 and 1985.
• a trust to refund a portion of General Obligation Bonds, Series 1987, a portion of General
Obligation Bonds, Series 1988, a portion of Combination Tax and Golf Course Revenue
Certificates of Obligation, Series 1988 and a portion of Combination Tax and Sewer System
Subordinate Lien Revenue Certificates of Obligation
• a trust to refund a portion of Tax and Waterworks Certificates of Obligation, Series 1992.
Management feels that due to the nature of these securities, there is 11 minimal amount of credit or
market risk associated with these securities.
Financial instruments which potentially subject the City to concentrations of credit risk consist
primarily of non-insured or collateralized demand deposits and trade receivables.
62
CITY OF LUBBOCK, TEXAS
Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 1994
NOTE V. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
Management believes that the City places its demand deposits in well capitalized financial institutions
in amounts that are within the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limitations or are collateralized
by pledged securities. Concentrations of credit risk are primarily focused on trade receivables which
are due from customers. No significant credit losses from individual receivables were experienced
during the year.
NOTE VI. RESTATEMENT OF BEGINNING BALANCES
Beginning fund equity has been restated to reflect the adoption of GASB Statement No.l4 and GASB

WE HAVE EXAMINED into the legality and validity of the issuance of the "City
of Lubbock, Texas, Electric Light and Power System Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series
1995" (the "Bonds"), dated June 15, 1995, in the aggregate principal amount of
$13,560,000 by the City of Lubbock, Texas (the uCity"), which Bonds are issuable in
fully registered form only, have stated maturities of April15, 1996 through April15,
2008, unless redeemed in accordance with the provisions stated on the Bonds, and
interest thereon accrues from the dates, at the rates, in the manner and is payable on
the dates, all as provided in the ordinance authorizing the issuance of the Bonds (the
"Ordinance").
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, the release and discharge of the lien on and pledge of the revenues
securing the payment of the obligations being refunded by the Bonds, 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 or the City's electric light
and power system and have not assumed any responsibility with respect thereto.
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, the "Special Escrow Agreementu (the "Escrow Agreement") between the
City and Norwest Bank Minnesota, National Association, Minneapolis, Minnesota (the
"Escrow Agent"), a report of KPMG Peat Marwick, Certified Public Accountants (the
"Accountants"), 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 Bonds 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 the Escrow
Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the City and, assuming
due authorization, execution, and delivery thereof by the Escrow Agent, is a binding
and enforceable agreement between the parties thereto in accordance with its terms
(except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be affected by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or other similar laws affecting creditors' rights

Re: $13,560,000 "City of Lubbock, Texas, Electric Light and Power System Revenue
Refunding Bonds, Series 199511, dated June 15, 1995
or the exercise of judicial discretion in accordance with general principles.of equity).and
the outstanding obligations being refunded, discharged, paid and retired with the
proceeds of the Bonds, and the terms of the respective ordinances authorizing their
issuance, have been defeased and are regarded as being outstanding only for the
purpose of receiving payment from the cash and investments, including the income
therefrom, held in trust by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement and
in accordance with the provisions of Article 717k, V.A.T.C.S., as amended. In rendering
this opinion, we have relied upon the verification of the Accountants as to the
sufficiency of cash and investments deposited with the Escrow Agent for purposes of
paying the obligations being refunded with the proceeds of the Bonds and the interest
thereon.
IT IS FURTHER OUR OPINION that the Bonds have been duly authorized by
the City in accordance with the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas now in
force, and the Bonds issued in compliance with the provisions of the Ordinance are
valid and legally binding special obligations of the City, in accordance with the terms
thereof, and, together with the outstanding Previously Issued Bonds (identified and
defined in the Ordinance), are payable solely from and equally and ratably secured by
a lien on and pledge of the Net Revenues (as defined in the Ordinance) of the City's
Electric Light and Power System, except to the extent that the enforceability thereof
may be affected by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or other similar
laws affecting creditors' rights or the exercise of judicial discretion in accordance with
general principles of equity. The City has reserved the right, subject to satisfying the
terms and conditions prescribed in the Ordinance, to issue additional parity obligations
payable from the same source and equally secured in the same manner as the Bonds.
IT IS FURTHER OUR OPINION that, 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 and the
report of the Accountants, interest on the Bonds for federal income tax purposes (1)
will be excludable from gross income, as defined in section 61 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended to the date hereof, of the owners thereof pursuant to section
103 of such Code, existing regulations, published rulings, and court decisions
thereunder, and (2) 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 net book income, or adjusted current earnings, for tax years
beginning after 1989, 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 (REMIC), or a real estate investment trust
Page 3 of Legal Opinion of Fulbright & Jaworski L.L.P.
Re: $13,560,000 "City of Lubbock, Texas, Electric Light and Power System Revenue
Refunding Bonds, Series 1995", dated June 15, 1995
(REIT). A corporation's alternative minimum taxable income is the basis on which the
alternative minimum tax and the environmental tax imposed by Sections 55 and 59A
of the Code, respectively, will be computed for tax years beginning after December 31,
1986.
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, 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.
