WE HAVE EXAMINED into the legality and validity of the issuance ~f the "City
of Lubbock, Texas, Tax and Waterworks System (Limited Pledge) Revenue Certificates
of Obligation, Series 1995" (the "Certificates"), dated December 15, 1995 (the
"Certificate Date"), in the principal amount of $10,000,000, by the City of Lubbock,
Texas (the "City"), which Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only, in
denominations of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof (within a maturity), have
stated maturities of February 15, 1997 through February 15, 2016, unless redeemed
prior to maturity, in accordance with the terms stated on the face of the Certificates,
and bear interest on the unpaid principal amount from the Certificate Date at the per
annum rates stated in the ordinance authorizing the issuance of the Certificates (the
"Ordinancen), such interest being payable on February 15 and August 15 in each year,
commencing August 15, 1996, to the registered owners shown on the registration books
of the Paying Agent/Registrar on the Record Date (stated on the face of the
Certificates).
WE HAVE SERVED AS BOND COUNSEL for the City solely to pass upon the
legality and validity of the issuance of the Certificates under the Constitution and laws
of the State of Texas, and with respect to the exclusion of the interest on the
Certificates from gross income for federal income tax purposes and none other. We
have not been requested to investigate or verify, and have not independently
investigated or verified, any records, data or other material relating to the financial
condition or capabilities of the City. Our examinations into the legality and validity of
the Certificates included a review of the applicable and pertinent provisions of the
Constitution and laws of the State of Texas, a transcript of certified proceedings of the
City relating to the authorization and issuance of the Certificates, including the
Ordinance, customary certifications and opinions of officials of the City and other
pertinent showings, and an examination of the Certificate executed and delivered
initially by the City, which we found to be in due form and properly executed.
BASED ON OUR EXAMINATIONS, IT IS OUR OPINION that the Certificates
have been duly authorized by the City in compliance with the Constitution and laws of
the State of Texas now in force, and the Certificates issued in compliance with the
provisions of the Ordinance are valid, legally binding and enforceable obligations of the
City payable from the sources and secured in the manner provided in the Ordinance,
except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be affected by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or other similar laws affecting creditors' rights
or the exercise of judicial discretion in accordance with the general principles of equity.

Page 2 of Legal Opinion of Fulbright & Jaworski L.L.P.
RE: $10,000,000 "City of Lubbock, Texas, Tax and Waterworks System (Limited
Pledge) Revenue Certificates of Obligation, Series 1995", dated December 15,
1995
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 ofeven date herewith
pertaining to the use, expenditure, and investment of the proceeds of the Certificates,
interest on the Certificates 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 descn'bed, corporations. Interest on all tax-exempt
obligations, such as the Certificates, owned by a corporation will be included in such
corporation's adjusted net book income, for the tax year 1989, 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 (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.
WE EXPRESS NO OPINION with respect to any other federal, state, or local
tax consequences under present law or any proposed legislation resulting from the
receipt or accrual of interest on, or the acquisition or disposition of, the Certificates.
Ownership of tax-exempt obligations such as the Certificates may.result in collateral
federal tax consequences to, among others, rmancial 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.

covers page hereof. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, and will be
payable on February 15 and August 15, commencing August 15, 1996. The Obligations will be issued only in fully
registered form in any integral multiple of$5,000 for any one maturity and will be initially registered and delivered

"Book-Entry-Only System" herein.
AUIHORITY FOR ISSUANCE ... The Bonds are being issued pursuant to the Constitution and general laws of the
State of Texas, particularly Article 1175, as amended; election held May 1, 1993, and passed by a majority of the
participating voters; and the Bond Ordinance.
10
The Certificates are being issued pursuant to the Constitution and general laws of the State' of Texas, particularly
Subchapter C of Chapter 271, Texas Local Government Code .(the Certificate of Obligation Act of 1971), as
amended and a Certificate Ordinance passed by the City Council.
SECURITY AND SOURCE OF PAYMENT ••• The Bonds constitute direct and voted obligations; of the City, payable
from the levy and collection of a ditect and continuing ad valorem tax, within the limits prescribed by law, on all
taxable property located within the City.
The Certificates constitute direct obligations of the City, payable from a combination of (i) tile levy and collection
of a direct and continuing ad valorem tax, within the limits prescn'bed by law, on all taxable property within the
City, and (ii) a limited pledge (not to exceed $500) of surplus net revenues of the City's Waterworks System.
TAX RATE LIMITATION •.. All taxable property within the City is subject to the assessment, levy and collection by
the City of a continuing, direct annual ad valorem tax 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 Taxable
Assessed Valuation for all City purposes. The Home Rule Charter of the City adopts the constitutionally authorized
maximum tax rate of $2.50 per $100 Taxable Assessed Valuation. Administratively, the Attorney General of the
State of Texas will permit allocation.of$1.50 ofthe $2.50 maximum tax rate for all General Obligation debt service,
as calculated at the time of issuance.
OPTIONAL REDEMPTION. . . The City reserves the right, at its option, to redeem Obligations having stated
matun'ties on and after February 15, 2007, in whole or in part in pn'ncipal amounts of $5,000 or any integral
multiple thereof, on February 15, 2006, or any date thereafter, at the par value thereof plus accrued interest to the
date of redemption. If less than all of the Obligations are to be redeemed, the City may select the matun'ties of
Obligations ·to be redeemed. If less than all the Obligations of any matun'ty are to be redeemed, the Paying
Agent/Registrar (or DTC while the. Obligations are in Book-Entry-Only form) shall determine by lot the
Obligations, or portions thereof, within such maturity to be redeemed. If an Obligation (or any portion of the
principal sum thereof) shall have been called for redemption and notice of such redemption shall have been given,
such Obligation (or the principal amount thereof to be redeemed) shall become due and payable on such redemption
date and interest thereon shall cease to accrue from and after the redemption date, provided funds for the payment of
the redemption pn'ce and accrued interest thereon are held by the Paying Agent/Registrar on the redemption date.
NOTICE OF REDEMPTION ... Not less than 30 days pn'or to a redemption date for the Obligations, the City shall
cause a notice of redemption to be sent by United States mail, first class, postage prepaid, to the registered owners
of the Obligations to be redeemed, in whole or in part, at the address of the registered owner appearing on the
registration books of the Paying Agent/Registrar at the close of business on the business day next preceding the date
of mailing such notice. ANY NOTICE SO MAILED SHALL BE CONCLUSIVELY PRESUMED TO HAVE
BEEN DULY GIVEN, WHETHER OR NOT THE REGISTERED OWNER RECEIVES SUCH NOTICE. NOTICE
HAVING BEEN SO GIVEN, THE OBLIGATIONS CALLED FOR REDEMPTION SHALL BECOME DUE AND
PAYABLE ON THE SPECIFIED REDEMPTION DATE, AND NOTWITHSTANDING THAT ANY
OBLIGATION OR PORTION THEREOF HAS NOT BEEN SURRENDERED FOR PAYMENT, INTEREST ON
SUCH OBLIGATION OR PORTION THEREOF SHALL CEASE TO ACCRUE.
BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY SYSTEM ..• The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), New York, New York, will act as
securities depository for the Obligations. The Obligations will be issued as fully-registered secun'ties registered in
the name of Cede & Co. (DTC's partnership nominee). One fully-registered certificate will be issued for each
matun'ty of the Obligations in the aggregate pn'ncipal amount of each such matun'ty and will be deposited with
DTC.
DTC is a limited-purpose trust company organi:z;ed under the New York Banking Law, a "banking organization"
within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the. Federal Reserve System, a "clearing
corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a "clearing agency" registered
pursuant to the provisions of Section 17 A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds securities that its
participants ("Direct Participants") deposit with DTC. . DTC also facilitates the settlement among Participants of
securities transactions, ~uch as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through electronic computen'zed book-
entry changes in Participants' accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities
11
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 1hrough or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly ("Indirect
Participants"). The Rules applicable to DTC and its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
Purchases of Obligations under the DTC system must be made by or through DTC Participants, which will receive a
credit for such purchases on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Obligation
("Beneficial Owner") is in turn to be recorded on the Direct or Indirect Participants' records. Beneficial Owners will
not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase, but Beneficial Owners are expected .to receive written
confrrmations providing details of the transaction, as well as. periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct
or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction Transfers of ownership
interest in the Obligations are to be accomplished by entries made on the book of Participants acting on behalf of
Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in the
Obligations, except in the event that use of the book-entry system described herein is discontinued.
To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Obligations deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the
name of DTC's partnership nominee, Cede & Co. The deposit of Obligations with DTC and their registration in the
name of Cede & Co. effect no change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial
Owners of the Obligations; DTC's records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such
Obligations are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Participants will remain responsible
for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.
Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect
Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to . Beneficial Owners will be governed by
arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time.
Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. will consent or vote with respect to the Obligations. Under its usual procedures, DTC
mails an Omnibus Proxy to the City as soon as possible after the Record Date (hereinafter defined). The Omnibus
Proxy assigns Cede & Co.'s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts the
Obligations are credited on the Record Date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy).
Principal and interest payments on the Obligations will be made to DTC. DTC's practice is to credit Direct
Participants' accounts on each payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC's records
unless DTC has reason to believe that it will not receive payment on such payable date. Payments by Participants to
Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities
held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in "street name," and will be the responsibility of
such Participant and· not of DTC, the Paying Agent/Registrar or. the City, subject to any statutory or regulatory
requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of principal and interest to DTC is the responsibility
of the City, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants shall be the responsibility of DTC, and
disbursement· of such payments to the Beneficial Owners shall be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect
Participants.
DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository with respect to the Obligations at anytime by
giving reasonable notice to the City. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor securities depository. is
not obtained, Obligations are required to be printed and delivered.
The City may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry transfers through DTC (or a successor securities
depository). In'that event, Obligations will be printed and delivered.
Use of Certain Terms in Other Sections of this Official Statement. In reading this Official Statement it should be
understood that while the Obligations are in the Book-Entry-Only System, references in other sections of this
Official Statement to registered owners should be read to include the person for which the Participant acquires an
interest in the Obligations, but (i) all rights of ownership must be exercised through DTC and the Book-Entry-Only
System, and (ii) except as described above, notices that are to be given to registered owners under the Ordinance
will be given only to DTC.
12
Infonnation 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 Purchasers.
PAYING AGENT/REGISTRAR .•. The initial Paying Agent/Registrar is Norwest Bank Texas, N.A., Dallas, Texas. In
the respective Ordinances, the City retains the right to replace the Paying Agent/Registrar. The City covenants to
maintain and provide a Paying Agent/Registrar at all times until the Bonds or Certificates, as the case may be, are
duly paid and any successor Paying Agent/Registrar shall be a commercial bank or trust company organized under
the laws of the State of Texas or other entity duly qualified and legally authorized to serve as and perfonn the duties
and services of Paying Agent/Registrar for the Obligations. Upon any change in the Paying Agent/Registrar for the
Bonds or Certificates, as the case may be, the City agrees to promptly cause a written notice thereof to be sent to
each registered owner affected by the change by United States mail, frrst class, postage prepaid, which notice shall
also give the address of the new Paying Agent/Registrar.
TRANSFER, EXCHANGE AND REGISTRATION •.. In the event the Book-Entry-Only System should be discontinued
for either the Bonds or Certificates or both, the transfer and exchange of such securities on the registration books of
the Paying Agent/Registrar can· be accomplished only upon presentation and surrender thereof to the Paying
Agent/Registrar and such transfer or exchange shall be without expense or service charge to the registered owner,
except for any tax or other governinental charges required to be paid with respect to such registration, exchange and
transfer. Obligations may be assigned by the execution of an assignment fonn on the respective Obligations or by
other instrument of transfer and assignment acceptable to the Paying Agent/Registrar. New Bonds or Certificates,
as the case may be, will be delivered by the Paying Agent/Registrar,· in lieu of the Obligations being transferred or
exchanged, at the principal office of the Paying Agent/Registrar, or sent by United States mail, frrst class, postage
prepaid, to the new registered owner or his designee. To the extent possible, new Obligations issued in an exchange
or transfer of Obligations will be delivered to the registered owner or assignee of the registered owner in not more
than three business days after the receipt of the Obligations to be canceled, and the written instrument of transfer or
request for exchange duly executed by the registered owner or his duly authorized agent, in fonn satisfactory to the
Paying Agent/Registrar. New Bonds or Certificates, as the case may be, registered and delivered in an exchange or
transfer shall be in any integral multiple of$5,000 for any one maturity and for a like aggregate principal amount as
the Bonds or Certificates surrendered for exchange or transfer. See "Book-Entry-Only System" herein for a
description of the system to be utilized initially in regard to ownership and transferability of the Obligations. Neither
the City nor the Paying Agent/Registrar shall be required to transfer or exchange any Obligation called for
redemption, in whole or in part, within 45 days of the date fixed for redemption; provided, however, such limitation
of transfer shall not be applicable to an exchange by the registered owner of the uncalled balance of an Obligation.
RECORD DATE FOR INTERES'I'PAYMENr ..• The record date ("Record Date") for the interest payable on
Obligations on any interest payment date means the close of business on the last business day of the preceding
month.
In the event of a non-payment of interest on a scheduled payment date, and for 30 days thereafter, a new record date
for.such interest payment (a "Special Record Date") will be established by the Paying Agent/Registrar, if and when
funds for the payment of such interest have been. received from the City. Notice of the Special Record Date and of
the scheduled payment date of the past due interest ("Special Payment Date", which shall be 15 days after the
Special Record Date) shall be sent at least five business days prior to the Special Record Date by United States mail,
frrst class postage prepaid, to the address of each Holder of an Obligation appearing on the registration books of the
Paying Agent/Registrar at the close of business on the last business day next preceding the date of mailing of such
notice.
BONDHOLDERS' REMEDIES ... The respective Ordinances obligates the City to annually assess and collect the ad
valorem taxes sufficient to pay principal and interest when due on the Bonds or Certificates, as the case may be. The
respective Ordinances provide no other security for the payment of the Bonds or Certificates, as the case may be,
and, in the event of default, there are no expressed remedies for registered owners to pursue and no provision is
made for the acceleration of the maturity of the Bonds or Certificates, as the case may be, or for the appointment of
a trUstee to protect the rights of the registered owners.
Although a registered owner could presumably obtain a judgment against the City. in the event of a default in the
payment of principal or interest on the Bonds or Certificates, as the case may be, such judgment could 0ot be
satisfied by execution against any property of the City. A registered owner could, in the event of default, ask a court
13
for a mandamus or court order compelling the City to levy, assess and collect sufficient ad valorem taxes to pay
principal and interest as it falls due on the Bonds or the Certificates, as the case may be, or to perform the City's
other obligations under the applicable Ordinance. Such remedy might need to be enforced on a periodic basis. The
enforcement of a claim for payment of principal or interest on· the Bonds or Certificates, as the case may be, would
be subject to the applicable provisions of the federal bankruptcy laws and to any other similar .laws affecting the
rights of creditors of political subdivisions generally.
The City is eligible to seek relief from its creditors under Chapter 9 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Although
Chapter 9 provides for the recognition of a security interest represented by a specifically pledged source of
revenues, the pledge of taxes in support of a general obligation of a bankrupt entity is not specifically recognized as
a security interest under Chapter 9. Chapter 9 also includes an automatic stay provision that would prohibit, without
Bankruptcy Court approval, the prosecution of any other legal action by creditors or bondholders of an entity which
has sought protection under Chapter 9. Therefore, should the City avail itself of Chapter 9 protection from
creditors, the ability to enforce any remedies against the City would be subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy
Court (which could require that the action be beard in Bankruptcy Court instead of other federal or state court); and
the Bankruptcy Code provides for broad discretionary powers of a Bankruptcy Court in administering any
proceeding.brought before it. The opinion of Bond Counsel will note that all opinions relative to the enforceability
of the Ordinance and the Bonds are qualified with respect to the customary rights of debtors relative to their
creditors.

TAX INFORMATION
ADVALOREM TAX LAw ... The appraisal ofpr~Perty within the City is the responsibility of the Lubbock Central
AppraiSal District (the "Appraisal District''). Excluding agricultural and open-space land, which may be taxed on the
basis of productive capacity, the Appraisal District is required under the Property Tax Code to appraise all property
within the Appraisal District on the basis of 100% of its market value and is prohibited from applying any assessment
ratios. The value placed upon property within the Appraisal District is subject to review by an Appraisal Review
Board, consisting of three members appointed by the Board of Directors of the Appraisal District The Appraisal
District is required to review the value of property within the Appraisal District at least every three years .. The City may
require annual review at its own expense, and is entitled to challenge the determination of appraised value of property
within the City by petition filed with the Appraisal Review Board.
Reference is made to the V.T.C.A., Property Tax Code, for identification of property subject to taxation; property
exempt or which may be exempted from taxation, if claimed; the appraisal of property for ad valorem taxation
purposes; and the procedures and limitations applicable to the levy and collection of ad valorem taxes.
Article Vlll of the State Constitution ("Article VIII") and State law provide for certain exemptions from property taxes,
the valuation of agricultural and open-space lands at productivity value, and the exemption of certain personal property
from ad valorem taxation.
Under Section 1-b, Article VIII, and State law, the governing body of a political subdivision, at its option, may grant:
(1) An exemption of not less than $3,000 of the market value of the residence homestead of persons 65 years of age or
older and the disabled from all ad valorem taxes thereafter levied by the political subdivision; (2) An exemption of up
to 20% of the market value of.residence homesteads. The minimum exemption under, this provision is $5,000.
In the case of residence homestead exemptions granted under Section 1-b, Article VIII, ad valorem taxes may
continue to be levied against the value of homesteads exempted where ad valorem taxes have previously been
pledged for the payment of debt if cessation of the levy would impair the obligation of the contract by which the
debt was created.
State law and Section 2, Article . VIII, niandate 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 exempt
from ad valorem taxation.
Article VIII, Section 1-j, 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. Decisions to continue to tax may be reversed in the future; decisions to exempt freeport
property are not subject to reversal.
The City and the other taxing bodies within its territory may agree to jointly create tax increment financing zones, under
which the tax values on property in the zone are "frozen" at the value of the property at the time of creation of the zone.
The City also may enter into tax abatement agreements to encourage economic development. Under the agreements, a
property owner agrees to construct certain improvements on its property. The City in 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.
15
EFFECI'IVE TAX RATE AND ROLLBACK TAX RATE ... By each September 1 or as soon thereafter as.practicable,
the City Council adopts a tax rate per $100 taxable value for the current year. The tax rate consists oftwo
ccimponents: '( 1) a rate for funding of maintenance and operation expenditures and (2) a rate for .debt service.
Under the Property Tax Code, the City must annually calculate and publicize its "effective tax rate" and ''rollback
tax rate". The City Council may not adopt a tax rate that exceeds the lower of the rollback tax rate or I 03% 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 Property 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 detennine whether or not to reduce the tax rate·
adopted for the current year to the rollback tax rate.
"Effective tax rate" means the rate that will produce last year's total tax levy (adjusted) from this year's total taxable
values (adjusted). "Adjusted" means lost values are not included in the calculation of lastyears taxes and new
values are not included in this year's taxable values.
"Rollback tax rate" means the rate that will produce last year's maintenance and operation tax levy (adjusted) from
this year's values (adjusted) multiplied by t .08 plus a rate that will produce this year's debt service from this year's
values (unadjusted) divided by the anticipated tax collection rate.
The Property Tax Code provides that certain cities and counties in the State may submit a proposition to the voters
to authorize 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.
Reference is made to the Property Tax Code for defmitive requirements for the levy and collection of ad valorem
taxes and the calculation of the various defined tax rates.
PROPERlY ASSESSMENT AND TAX PAYMENT; .. Property within the City is generally assessed as of January 1 of
each year. Business inventory may, at the option of the taxpayer, be assessed as of September 1. Oil and gas
reserves are assessed on the basis of a valuation process which uses an average of the daily price of oil and gas for
the prior year. Taxes become due October I of the same year, and become delinquent on February I of the
following year. Taxpayers 65 years old or older are. pennitted by State law to pay taxes on homesteads in four
installments with the first due on February I of each year and the final installment due on August I.
PENALTIES AND INTEREST . . . Charges for penalty and interest on the unpaid balance of delinquent taxes are made
as follows:
Cumulative Cumulative ·
Month Penalty Interest Total
February 6% 1 % 7%
March 7 2 9
April 8 3 11
May 9 4 13
June 10 5 15
July 12 6 18
After July, penalty remains at 12%, and interest increases at the rate of 1% each month. In addition, if an account is
delinquent in July, a 15% attorney's collection fee is added to the total tax penalty and interest charge. Under
certain circumstances, taxes which become delinquent on the homestead of a taxpayer 65 years old or older incur a
penalty of 8% per annum with no additional penalties or interest assessed. In general, property subject to the City's
lien may be sold, in whole or in parcels, pursuant to court. order to collect the amounts due. Federal law does not
allow for the collection of penalty and interest against an estate in bankruptcy. Federal bankruptcy law provides
that an automatic stay of action by creditors and other entities, including governmental units, goes into effect with
the filing of any petition in bankruptcy. The automatic stay prevents governmental units from foreclosing on
property and prevents liens for post-petition taxes from attaching to property and obtaining secured creditor status
unless, in either case, an order lifting the stay is obtained from the bankruptcy court. In many cases post-petition
taxes are paid as an administrative expense of the estate in bankruptcy or by order of the bankruptcy court.
16

(1) Through Fiscal Year Ended 9-30-91 a was the City's policy each Fiscal Year to transfer from Water Enterprise Fund surplus
to the General Fund an amount at least eqpivalent to debt service requirements on Waterworks System General Obligation Debt.
Beginning with Fiscal Year Ending 9;.-:JG-92 the City budgeted and 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 9-30-96 $3,876,045 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-
rn 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 Fiscal Year Ending 9-30-92, 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 has no outstanding revenue bondS payable from a lien on the net revenues of the Waterworks System.

TExAS MUNICIPAL RETIREMENT SYSTEM (1> ••• All 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 member cities.
The City of Lubbock joined the System in 1950 to supplement Social Security. All City employees except
firefighters 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 contribution rate is 6%
of gross salary. The City's contribution rate is calculated each year using actuarial techniques applied to experience.
The 1995 contribution rate was 11.48%; the 1996 contribution rate is 12.03%. 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, 1994, assets held by the System, not including those of the Supplemental Disability Fund which is
"pooled", for the City of Lubbock were $101,453,897. Unfunded accrued liabilities on December 31, 1994 were
$26,608,856, which is being amortized over a 25-year period beginning January, 1996. Total contributions by the
City to the System for Calendar Year 1994 were $4,457,659. <2>
FIREMEN'S REUEF AND.. RETIREMENT FUND (tl. • .City of Lubbock frrefighters are members of the locally
administered Lubbock Firemen's Relief and Retirement Fund, operating under an act passed in 1937 by the State
Legislature and adopted by City frrefighters, by vote of the department, in 1941. Firefighters are not covered by
Social Security.
The Fund js governed by ~ven trustees, tlrree frrefighters, two outside trustees (appointed by the other trustees), the
Mayor or his representative and the chief financial officeror his representative. Execution of the act is monitored
by the Firemen's Pension Commissioner, who is appointed by the Governor.
Benefits of retired frremen are determined on a "formula" or a "fmai salary" plan. Actuarial reviews are performed
every two years, and the fund is audited annually. Firefighters contribute 11% of full salary into· the fund and the
City must contribute a like amount; however, the city contributes on a basis of the percentage of salary which is a
ration adjusted annually that bears the same relationship to the frrefighter's contribution rate that the City's rate paid
into the Texas Municipal Retirement System and FICA bears to the rate other employees pay into the Texas
Municipal Retirement System and FICA. The City's contribution rate for 1995 was 15.42%.
29
As of December 31, 1993, unfunded liabilities were $15,006,685 which is being amortized over a 28 year period
beginning January I, 1993. · ·

TABLE 14 -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 Obligations. In addition, in January, 1995, the voters of
the City approved the imposition of an additional sales and use tax of one-eighth of a cent as authorized by
VATCS, Tax Code, Chapter 323, as amended. Collection for the additional tax commenced in October, 1995
with the proceeds from the one-eighth cent sales tax designated for the use and benefit of the City to replace
property tax revenues lost as a result of the adoption of the tax; the revenues of the tax are not pledged to the
payment of the Obligations. Collections and enforcements are effected through the offices of the Comptroller of
Public Accounts, State of Texas, who remits the proceeds of the tax, after deduction of a 2% service fee, to the
City monthly. Revenue from the 1 % Local Sales and Use Tax, for the years shown, has been:

Basis Q/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 1994 report has been submitted to GFOA to
determine its eligibility for another certificate.
General Fund Balance ... The City's objective is to achieve and maintain a General Fund balance equivalent to two
months operating costs of the General Fund Budget. This should be sufficient to provide fmancing for necessary
projects, unanticipated contingencies, and fluctuations in anticipated revenues.
Debt Service Fund Balance ... A rea.Sonable debt service fund balance is maintained in order to compensate for
unexpected contingencies.
32
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 fascal
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 andlfunds. Expenditures
may not legally exceed budgeted appropriations at the fund level.
5) Fonnal 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. Fonnal budgetary integration is not employed for Debt Service funds because effective budgetary
control is alternatively achieved through general obligation bond indenture and other contract provisions.
6) The Budget for the General Fund is adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting
principles ("GAAP").
7) Appropriations for the General Fund lapse at. year end. Unencumbered balances for the Capital Projects
Funds continue as authority for subsequent period expenditures.
8) Budgetary comparison is presented for the General Fund in the combined fmancial statement section of the
Comprehensive Annual financial Report.
The City has also received the GFOA 's award for Distinguished Budget Presentation for the following budget years:
October 1, 1983-88 and October 1, 1990-94. The City will submit the current budget to the GFOA to detennine its
eligibility for another award.
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 fire and extended coverage
and boiler coverage. An Insurance Fund has been established in the Internal Service Fund to account for insurance
programs and budgeted transfers are made to this fund based upon estimated payments for claim losses.
At 9-30-95 the reserves had the following balances [unaudited]:

securities designated above, the City prohibits any investment in derivatives as defmed by the City, money market
mutual funds, and mutual funds as well as securities lending and reverse repurchase agreements.
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. 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 first objective is to conform to all Federal,
State, and other legal requirements. The second objective of the investment policy is to preserve the capital in the
overall portfolio. Each investment transaction seeks to first ensure that capital losses are avoided, whether they be
from securities defaults or erosion of market value. The third 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.
34
The fourth objective is diversify to avoid incurring unreasonable risks ·regarding securities owned. The fifth
objective is to obtain the highest yield on investments within the other four objectives. The. day to day investment
activities are performed by the City's Assistant Treasurer.
The City may invest to the followinglimits as a percentage of its total portfolio:
100% in United States Treasury obligations
50% in Certificates of Deposit
400/o in Federal Instrumentalities or Agencies
30% in Repurchase Agreements:eollateralized 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 the Investment Review Committee.

highlights the substantive changes to the Act:
I) Specifically addressing the maximum allowable stated maturity of any individual investment and the weighted

b) acknowledge that reasonable controls and procedures have been implemented to preclude imprudent investment
activities, and
c) deliver a written statement attesting to these requirements
6) Requiring an annual internal audit of the management controls on investments and adherence to the entity's
Investment Policy; the annual audit can be an internal or an external at the entity's discretion.

TAX MATTERS
TAX EXEMPTION •.. The delivery of the Obligations is subject to the opinions of Bond Counsel to the effect that
interest on the Bonds or Certificates, as the case may be, for federal income tax purposes (I) 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. A form of Bond Counsel's opinions is
reproduced as Appendix C. The statute, regulations, rulings, and court decisions on which such opinion is based are
subject to change.
Interest on all tax-exempt obligations, including the Obligations, owned by a corporation will be included in such
corporation's adjusted current earnings for tax years beginning after 1989, for purposes of calculating the alternative
minimum taxable income of such corporation, other than an S corporation, a qualified mutual fund, a real estate
investment trust (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 Section 55 of the Code and
the environmental tax imposed by Section 59A of the Code will be computed.
In rendering the foregoing opinions, Bond Counsel will rely upon representations and certifications of the City
made in a certificate dated the date of delivery of the Obligations pertaining to the use, expenditure, and investment
of the proceeds of the Obligations and will assume continuing compliance by the City with the provisions of the
Ordinance subsequent to the issuance of the Obligations. The respective Ordinances contain. covenants by the City
with respect to, among other matters, the use of the proceeds of the Obligations and the facilities fmanced therewith
by persons other than state or local governmental units, the manner in which the proceeds of the Obligations are to
be invested, the periodic calculation and payment to the United States Treasury of arbitrage "profits" from the
investment of the proceeds, and the reporting of certain information to the United States Treasury. Failure to
comply with any of these covenants would cause interest on the Obligations to be includable in the gross income of
the owners thereof from date of the issuance of the Obligations.
Except as described above, Bond Counsel expresses no other opinion with respect to any other federal, state or local
tax consequences under present law, or proposed legislation, resulting from the receipt or accrual of interest on, or
the acquisition or disposition of, the Obligations. Prospective purchasers of the Bonds or Certificates, as the case
may be, should be aware that the ownership of tax·exempt obligations 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 OF DISCOUNT AND PREMIUM ON CERTAIN OBLIGATIONS ... The initial public
offering price of certain Bonds or Certificates, as the case may be, (the "Discount Obligations") may be less than the
amount payable on such Obligations at maturity. An amount equal to the difference between the initial public
offering price of a Discount Obligation (assuming that a substantial amount of the Discount Obligations of that
maturity are sold to the public at such price) and the amount payable at maturity constitutes original issue discount
to the initial purchaser of such Discount Obligation. A portion of such original issue discount allocable to the
holding period of such Discount Obligation by the initial purchaser will, upon the disposition of such Discount
Obligation (including by reason of its payment at maturity), be treated as interest excludable from gross income,
rather than as taxable gain, for federal income tax purposes, on the same terms and conditions as those for other
interest on the Obligations described above under "Tax Exemption." Such interest is considered to be accrued
actuarially in accordance with the constant interest method over the life of a Discount Obligation, taking into
account the semiannual compounding of accrued interest, at the yield to maturity on such Discount Obligation and
generaJly will be allocated to an original purchaser in a different amount from the amount of the payment
denominated as interest actuaJly 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
38
tax imposed by Sections 55 and 59A, 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 will not be a corresponding
cash payment. In addition, the accrual of such interest may result in certain other 'COllateral federal income tax
consequences to, among others, financial institutions, life msurance companies, property and casualty insurance
companies, S corporations with "subchapter C" earnings and profits, individual recipients of Social Security or
Railroad Retirement benefits, individuals otherwise qualifying for earned income tax credit, and taxpayers who may
be deemed to have incurred or continued indebtedness to purchase or carry, or who have paid or incurred certain
expenses allocable to, tax-exempt obligations. Moreover, in the event of the redemption, sale or other taxable
disposition of a Discount Obligation by the initial owner prior to maturity, the amount realized by such owner in
excess of the basis of such Discount Obligation in the hands of such owner (adjusted upward by the portion of the
original issue discount allocable to the period for which such Discount Obligation was held) is inCludable in gross
income.
Owners of Discount Obligations should consult with their own tax advisors with respect to the determination of
accrued original issue discount on Discount Obligations for federal income tax purposes and with respect to the state
and local tax consequences of owning and disposing of Discount Obligations. It is possible that, under applicable
provisions governing determination of state and local income taxes, accrued interest on Discount Obligations may
be deemed to be received in the year of accrual even though there will not be a corresponding cash payment.
·The initial public offering price of certain of the Bonds or Certificates, as the case may be, (the "Premium
Obligations") may be greater than the amount payable on such Obligations at maturity. An amount equal to the
difference between the initial public offering price of a Premium Obligation (assuming that a substantial amount of
the Premium Obligations of that maturity are sold to the public at such price) and the amount payable at maturity
constitutes premium to the initial purchaser of such Premium Obligations. The basis for federal income tax
purposes of a Premium Obligation in the hands of such initial purchaser must be reduced each year by the
amortizable bond premium, although no federal income tax deduction is allowed as a result of such reduction in
basis for amortizable bond premium. Such reduction in basis will increase the amount of any gain (or decrease the
amount of any loss) to be recognized for federal income tax purposes upon a sale or other taxable disposition of a
Premium Obligation. The amount of premium which is amortizable each year by an initial purchaser is determined
by using such purchaser's yield to maturity.
Purchasers of the Premium Obligations should consult with their own tax advisors with respect to the determination
of amortizable bond premium on Premium Obligations for federal income tax purposes and with respect to the state
and local tax consequences of owning and disposing of Premium Obligations.

OTHER INFORMATION
RATINGS
The presently outstanding tax supported debt of the City is rated "Aa" by Moody's and "AA" by S&P. Applications
for contract ratings on this issue have been made to Moody's and S&P. An explanation of the significance of such
ratings may be obtained from the company furnishing the rating. The ratings reflect only the respective views of
such organizations and the City makes no representation as to the appropriateness of the ratings. There is no
assurance that such ratings will continue for any given period of time or that they will not be revised downward or
withdrawn entirely by either or both of such rating companies, if in the judgment of either or both companies,
circumstances so warrant. Any such downward revision or withdrawal of such ratings may have an adverse effect
on the market price of the Obligations.
LITIGATION
It is the opinion of the City Attorney and City Staff that there is no pending litigation against the City that would
have a material adverse fmancial impact upon the City or its operations.
REGISTRATION AND QUALIFICATION OF OBLIGATIONS FOR SALE
The sale of the Obligations has not been registered under the Federal Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance
upon the exemption provided thereunder by Section 3(a)(2); and the Obligations have not been qualified under the
Securities Act of Texas in reliance upon various exemptions contained therein; nor have the Obligations been
qualified under the securities acts of any jurisdiction. The City assumes no responsibility for qualification of the
Obligations under the securities laws of any jurisdiction in which the Obligations may be sold, assigned, pledged,
hypothecated or otherwise transferred This disclaimer of responsibility for qualification for sale or other
disposition of the Obligations shall not be construed as an interpretation of any kind with regard to the availability
of any exemption from securities registration provisions.
LEGAL INVESTMENTS AND ELIGIBILITY TO SECURE PUBLIC FuNDs IN TEXAS
Section 9 of the Bond Procedures Act provides that the Obligations "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, and for the sinking fund of cities, towns, villages, school districts, and other political subdivisions or public
agencies of the State of Texas". The Obligations 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. For
political subdivisions in Texas which have adopted investment policies and guidelines in accordance with the Public
Funds Investment Act (V.T.C.A., Government Code, Chapter 2256), the Obligations may have to be assigned a
rating of "A" or its equivalent as to investment quality by a national rating agency before such obligations are
eligible investments for sinking funds and other public funds. No review by the City has been made of the laws in
other states to determine whether the Obligations are legal investments for various institutions in those states.
LEGAL OPINIONS AND No-LITIGATION CERTIFICATE
The City will furnish a complete transcript of proceedings had incident to the authorization and issuance of the
Obligations, including the unqualified approving legal opinions of the Attorney General of Texas approving the
Initial Bond or Certificate, as the case may be, and to the effect that the Bonds or Certificates, as the case may be,
are valid and legally binding obligations ofthe City, and based upon examination of such transcript of proceedings,
the approving legal opinion of Bond Counsel, to like effect and to the effect that the interest on the Bonds or
Certificates, as the case may be, will be excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes under
Section 103(a) ofthe Code, subject to the matters described under"TaxExemption" herein, including the alternative
minimum tax on corporations. The customary closing papers, includirlg a certificate. to the effect that no litigation
of any nature has been filed or is then pending fu restrain the issuance and delivery of the Obligations, or which
would affect the provision made for their payment or security, or in any manner questioning the validity of said
Obligations will also be furnished. Bond Counsel was not requested to participate, and did not take part, in the
preparation of the Notice of Sale and Bidding Instructions, the Official Bid Form and the Official Statement, and
40

information contained therein, except that, in its capacity as Bond Counsel, such fum has re~wed the information
describing the Bonds and the Certificates in the Official Statement to verify that such description conforms to the
provisions of the respective Ordinances. The legal fee to be paid Bond Counsel for services rendered in connection
with the issuance of the Obligations. is contingent on the sale and delivery of the Obligations. The legal opinions
will accompany the Obligations deposited with DTC or will be printed on the Bonds or Certificates, as the case may
be, in the event of the discontinuance: of the Book-Entry-Only System.

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 aredi:ee of matetialniisstatemel1t. 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 fmancial 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.

NOTE 1 • ., 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-sening body ior
establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. With respect to proprietary
activities, including component units, the City has adopted GASB Statement No. 20. "Accounting and
Financial Reporting for Proprietary Funds and Other Governmental Entities that use Proprietar;. Fund
Accounting." The City has elected to apply all applicable GASB pronouncements as well as Fmancial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements and Accounting Principles Board (APBl Opinions.
issued on or before November 30, 1989 unless those pronouncements conflict with or contradict GASB
pronouncements. The more significant accounting policies are described below.
A. REPORTING ENTITY;
In June, 1991. the GASB issued Statement No. 14. "The Financial Reporting Entity ... In accordance
with this statement. the City has presented those entities which comprise the primar;.· 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 ?>;o. 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
primar;.' government. organizations for which the primary government is financially accountable and
other organizations for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the primar;.·
government arc such that exclusion could cause the City's general purpose financial statements to be
misleading or incomplete.
BLENDED COMPOJ\ENT 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 Qf 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 primar;.· 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 b)' 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.
DlSCRETEL Y 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.

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.
Spec:ial 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 Servite Funds arc used to account for the accumulation of financial resources for the payment
of interest and principal on the gencrallong·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 arc financed and operated in
a manner similar to private business enterprises, where the intent is to provide goods or services to the

management controL accountability, or other purposes.
Internal Service Fund is used to account for the financing of goods and services provided b~ on.:
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 indl\ iduals.
private organizations. other governments and other funds. are accounted for in fiduciar: fund types.
Fiduciary fund types are comprised of:
Expendable Trust funds account for assets received and expended by the City as truste.: 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 arc
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 primar:· source from which the detailed records of the general fixed assets account group
are developed. Capital expenditures are carried in this account group as eonstruction 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 ofcurrent 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. Re,·enues 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.

NOTE I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
C. BASIS OF ACCOUNTING (CONTINUEDl
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
re,·enues 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. BUDGETAR\' 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:
General Fund

Capital Projects Funds
Expendable Trust Funds

NOTE I. SUMMARYOF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POL-ICIES
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 Tu Receh·able-Property taxes are assessed and liens anach on valuations as of January I.
levied on October I of each year. and become delinquent February I of the following yc:ar.
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 Receh·ables ·Within the Electric. \\'ater. Sewc:r and Solid Waste Enterpris.: Fund~.
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 cenain 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 io acquire
or construct them. Instead. capital acquisition and construction are rellected 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 follows:
Improvements
Buildings
Equipment
10•5.0 years
15·50 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 $I 6,229.230 of which $2.042.232 has
been capitalized.

Advance to Other funds -Amounts owed to one fund by another which are not due within one vear
are recorded as advances to other funds. These are equally offset by a fund balance reserve am~unt

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 reponed at September 30, 1994, and others may not be reponed until a later date which are
incurred but not reponed (IBNR). IBNR is actuarially determined by the City's independent
insurance administrator.
The City's self insured worker's compensation and generalliabilit)' 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 reponed but not settled, and of claims that have
been incurred but not reponed. 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
arc charged or credited to expense in the period in which they arc 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 S2SO,OOO
deductible per occurrence, and the boiler coverage insurance deductible is S2,SOO to SlOO,OOO,
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 reponed in tbe General Fund or the Debt Service Fund.
Sales Tax Revenue· The City has a 1% sales tax levy which is eolfected by the State of Texas and
remitted to the City monthly. The tax is collected by the vendor and required to be remitted to the
State by the 20th of the month following collection. The tax is then paid to the City by the lOth of
the next month.
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

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 additionall/2 cent sales tax was collected for the
first quarter of fiscal year 1994. A portion o( the collected funds was used to defease approximately
$3,600.000 of bonds issued to fund the construction of a SSO 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 rel11ted 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 initial!)
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. temporar)
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 IS
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.

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 exetcised, 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 lim
4.000,000 MMBTU can then be purchased at market value. During 1988, proven reserves of 338.000
MMBTU were purchased at the $1.56 rate. The remaining reserves are being purchased as proven.
One·half the rate. or $.78 per MMBTU. is paid upon proven determination of the reserves and the
balance is to be paid upon delivery. The prepayments are to be expensed as the gas is taken until the
prepaid units of gas have been consumed. At September 30. 1994 and 1993, 1,317,934 and 1.218.590
MMBTU, respectively. had been delivered. arid 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 Cit~ of LuobocJ..
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 retiremem system. It
is the opinion of the TMRS management that the plans in TMRS are substantiall~ defined
contribution plans, but they have elected to provide additional voluntary disclosure to help foster a
better understanding of some of the nontraditional eharacteristics of the plan.
Benefits depend upon the sum of the employee's contributions to the plan, \\ ith interest. and the Cit).
financed monetary credits. with interest. At the date the plan began, the City gran led monetary credib
for service rendered before the plan began of a theoretical amount equal to two times what 11ould
have been contributed by the employee, with interest, prior to establishment of the plan. Monetar~
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 ser\'ice credit which is a theoretical amount. \\'hen 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 th..:
current empiO)'ee contribution rate and City matching percent had always been in existcncc. 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 inter.:st
were used to purchase an annuity.
Members can retire at ages 60 and above with I 0 or more years of service or with .:!5 years of ser\'icc
regardless of age. The plan also provides death and disability benefits. A member is \'estcd alicr 10
years. but he must leave his accumulated contributions in th.: plan. If a member withdraws his own
money, he is not entitled to the employer-financed monetary credits. even if he was vested. Thc 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 curr.:ntly 200%. both
as adopted by the governing body of .the City. Under the state law governing TMRS. the Cit}
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 ol'er 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 actuarialliabilit) i<. to he amortized over a new 25-year period. Currently, the
unfunded actuarial cost method is used I· d::tcrmining the City contribution rate. Contributions are

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 $42.838.841. 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 amortize the unfunded actuarial liability, and 10.42% for the
months in calendar year 1994, 7.39% normal cost plus 3.03% to amortize 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 amortize the unfunded actuarial liability. There were no related-party
transactions.
Funding Status and Progress
E\·en though the substance of the City's plan is not to provide a defined benefit in some form. some
additional volumary 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. S 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 part 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.

. . .
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 early service retirement benefit is
provided for employees who terminate employment with 20 or more years of s~:rvice. A panially
vested benefit is pro\'ided 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 is described below as the "New
Plan"', became effective December 30, 1993. It was adopted as a .result of the December 31. 1992
valuation. Prior to December 20, 1993, th'! "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 11.00% 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 t 3 .SO% of payroll over the 28-year period beginning Janual)' I, 1991. Under the New Plan
the City is re~uired to make contributions which will average not. less than 14.00% of payroll over the
28-year period beginning Janual)' I. 1993. The benefit and contribution provisions of this plan are
authorized by the Texas Local Firefighters Retirement Act (TELFRA).

2. Method Used to Value Investments The Lubbock Firemen's Relief and Retirement Fund'~
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 sen tce
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 mak;:
comparisons among public employee retirement systems. This measure is independent of the
actuarial funding method used to perfonn 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 ne\\ plan of
benefits has been adopted effective December 31. 1993. Significant actuarial assumptions used
include (a) a rate of return on the in•·estment of present and future assets equal to 8.00% per year
compounded annually. (b) projected salary increases of 5.00% per year compounded annual!).
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 detennined 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 ooligation 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 11.000.4 of pay by the firemen and contributions
which would average not Jess than 13.SO% 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 less than
14.00% of payroll over the 28-year period beginning January I, 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 $2,3S8,92S were required and paid into the fund .
Ten years ofthe 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 arid Retirement Fund, City of
Lubbock, P.O. Box 2000, Lubbock, Texas 794S7.

The ·City offers its employees a deferred compensation plan created in accordancc \\ ith Internal
Revenue Code Section 457. The plan, available to all City employees, permits thcm to deter a ponion
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 propeny and rights purchased with those
amounts, and all income attributable to those amounts, propeny, or rights are (until paid or made
available to the employee or other beneficiary) solely the propeny 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.· Panicipant's rights under the plan are equal to those of general creditors of thc City
in an amount equal to the fair market value of the deferred account for each panicipant.
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 Cit): belicves that it is unlike!)
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 1wo 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 CRMWA to reimburse it for a ponion 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 th.: amount of $705,927 reduced thc
amount outstanding due to the authorit) .•t September 30, 1994 to $23,823.531, due in annual
installments of Sl ,35 I ,543 including int.:rc.;•. of 2.632% until the year 2018. The above cost for the

Brazos Rin~r 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 s'tate of Texas to provide for the conservation and development of surfcu:e
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 wen a5 funds sufficient to pay
all capital costs associated with construction. The City will recei\'e surface water for the payments to
ORA. Approximately $191.697 was paid to the BRA for maintenance and operating costs in :fiscal
year 1994.
The BRA issued$16.970.000 in rev'enue bonds i.n 1989 and $39.685,000 in revenue bonds.in l9cJ1.
Construction of the dam and lake facilities began in 1989. The City is obligated to proyide s~fficie~t
funds over the next 30 years to service the debt requiremen~ of these bonds. The financial activity .
··along with the related obligation is accounted for in the 'Water Enterprise Fund. · · · · · ·

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 Vl.

N. LANDFILL CLOSURE AND POSTCLOSURE CARE COST !CONTINUED)
The $6,465,14 L reported as landfill Closure and postclosure care liabilit)· at September 30. 199-1,
represents the cumulative amount reported to daie based on the use of· 69.8 percent ofthe 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 $2,799,2S9 as the remaining estimated capacity is filled. These amounts an:
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 fin:mcial
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 pro\'iding
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~o·~:t to audit by agents of the granting authority to insure compliance with
conditions precedent to the granting of funds. An)' liability for reimbursement which may arise as
the result of audits of grants is not believed to be material.
B. LITIGATION
The City is involved in lawsuits arising in the normal course of business, including claims
property damage, personal injury and personnel practices, disputes over contract awards and property
condemnation ·proceedings, and 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 in 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, Series 1984
• 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.

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.

IN REGARD to the authorization and issuance of the "City of Lubbock, Texas,
General Obligation Bonds, Series 1995A" (the "Bonds"), dated December 15, 1995 (the
"Bond Date"), in the principal amount of $6,505,000, we have examined into the legality
and validity of the issuance thereof by the City of Lubbock, Texas (the "City"), which
Bonds are issuable in fully registered form only, in denominations of $5,000 or any
integral multiple thereof (within a maturity), have stated maturities of February 15,
1997 through February 15, 2016, unless redeemed prior to maturity in accordance with
the terms stated on the Bonds, and bear interest on the unpaid principal amount from
the Bond Date at the rates per annum stated in the ordinance authorizing the issuance
of the Bonds (the "Ordinance"), such interest being payable on Febru8ry 15 and
August 15 in each year, commencing August 15, 1996, to the registered owners thereof
shown on the registration books of the Paying Agent/Registrar on the Record Date
(stated on the face of the Bonds).
WE HAVE SERVED AS BOND COUNSEL for the City solely to pass upon the
legality and validity of the issuance of the Bonds· under the Constitution and laws of
the State of Texas, and with respect to the exclusion of the interest on the Bonds from
gross income for federal income tax purposes and none other. We have not been
requested to investigate or verify, and have not independently investigated or verified,
any records, data or other material relating to the financial condition or capabilities of
the City.
OUR EXAMINATIONS into the legality. and validity of the Bonds included a
review of the applicable and· pertinent provisions of the· Constitution and laws of the
State of Texas, a transcript of certified proceedings of the City relating to the
authorization and issuance of the Bonds, including the Ordinance, customary
certifications and opinions of officials of the City and other pertinent showings, and an
examination of the Bond executed and delivered initially by the City, which we found
to be in due form and properly executed.
BASED ON OUR EXAMINATIONS, IT IS OUR OPINION that the Bonds have
been duly authorized by the City in compliance 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, legally binding and enforceable obligations of the City, payable
from the proceeds of an ad valorem tax levied, within the limitations prescribed by law,
upon all taxable property in the City, except to the extent that the enforceability
thereof may be affected by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or other

. 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,
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
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 (REM! C), or a real
estate investment trust (REIT). A corporation's alternative minimum taxable income
is the basis on which the alternative minimum tax imposed by section 55 of the Code
and the environmental tax imposed by section 59A of the Code is computed.
WE EXPRESS NO OPINION with respect to any other federal, state, or local
tax consequences under present law or any proposed legislation resulting from the
receipt or accrual of interest on, or the acquisition or disposition of, the Bonds.
Ownership of tax-exempt obligations such as the Bonds may result in collateral federal
tax consequences to, among others, financial institutions, life insurance companies,
property and casualty insurance companies, certain foreign corporations doing business
in the United States, S corporations with subchapter C earnings and profits, individual
recipients of Social Security or Railroad Retirement Benefits, individuals otherwise
qualifying for the earned income tax credit 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.

OBLIGATION, SERIES 1995", dated December 15, 1995, in the principal
amount of $10,000,000 (the "Certificates"), as follows.
A. General.
1. I, alonq with other officers of the Issuer, am
charqed with the responsibility for issuinq the Certificates.
2. This certificate is made pursuant to sections 103 and
141 throuqh 150 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended to
the date hereof (the "Code"), and Treasury Requlations issued
thereunder (the "Requlations").
3. This certificate is based on the facts and estimates
described herein in existence on this date, which is the date of
delivery of the Certificates to and payment for the Certificates by
the initial purchasers thereof, and, on the basis of such facts and
estimates, the Issuer expects that the future events described
herein will occur.
B. pyrpose and size.
1. The Certificates are beinq issued pursuant to an
Ordinance of the Issuer, finally adopted by the City Council of the
Issuer on December 7, 1995 (hereinafter referred to as the
"Ordinance") to finance public safety improvements, includinq
construction and equipment of fire stations, fire traininq
facilities, and administrative and maintenance/supply facilities
for the fire department (collectively, the "Projects") and to pay
costs of issuance. Terms used and not defined herein have the same
meaninq qiven to them in the Ordinance.
2. The Projects will be owned, operated, and maintained
by the Issuer. The Issuer has not contracted with any person or
entity to operate and/or maintain the Projects or any part of them
for and on behalf of the Issuer. The Issuer does not expect to
enter into any contract for the operation, maintenance or
manaqement of the Projects or any part of them.
3. There is not, and as of the date hereof the Issuer
does not anticipate enterinq into, any lease, contract or other
understandinq or arranqement, such as a take-or-pay contract or
output contract, with any person other than a state or local
No Text
governmental unit pursuant to which the Issuer expects that
proceeds of the ~ertificates, or the facilities financed therewith,
will be used in the trade or business of such person (including all
activities of such persons who are not individuals).
4. The amounts received from the sale of the
Certificates, when added to the amounts expected to be received
from the investment thereof, do not exceed the amounts required to
pay the costs of the Projects and of issuing the Certificates.
5. No receipt from the sale of the certificates or
amounts received from the investment thereof will be used to pay
the principal of or interest on any presently outstanding issue of
bonds or other similar obligations of the Issuer other than the
Certificates.
c. Source and Disbursement of Funds.
1. The Certificates are being issued and delivered to
the purchaser or purchasers thereof on the date hereof upon payment
of the aggregate agreed purchase price of $10,000,000, plus accrued
interest thereon, plus a premium of $0.00.
2. The amount received from the purchaser or purchasers
of the Bonds representing accrued interest is being deposited on
the date hereof in the Certificate Fund for the Certificates and
will be used to pay the first payment of interest to become due on
the Certificates on August 15, 1996.
3. Costs of issuance relating to the Certificates are
estimated to be $43,141.45 and will be paid by the Issuer from
sales proceeds of the Certificates. The remainder of the sale
proceeds will be credited to the construction fund of the Issuer
(the "Construction Fund"), will be accounted for separately from
all other funds on the books of account of the Issuer, and will be
used to pay costs of the Projects. The Issuer estimates income and
profits in the aggregate amount of $450,000.00 will be received
from the investment of the amounts deposited to the Construction
Fund pending the disbursement of such amounts for the governmental
purposes for which the Certificates are being issued. All of such
income and profit will be used to pay costs of the Projects, and
any excess amounts will be deposited to the Certificate Fund and
used to pay principal of and interest on the certificates within
one year of receipt.
D. Temporary Periods and Time for Expenditures.
1. Within six months from the date hereof, the Issuer
will have incurred binding obligations or commitments to third
parties for the Projects in the amount of at least 5% of the net
sales proceeds of the Certificates.
-2-
No Text
2. After entering into said contracts, completion of the
Projects and the allocation of net sales proceeds of the
Certificates to expenditures will proceed with due diligence.
3. The Issuer expects that all of the net sales proceeds
of the Certificates will be spent within three years from the date
hereof, and that all investment proceeds of the certificates will
be spent within one year from the date of receipt.
4. Approximately $0. 00 of the proceeds of the
Certificates will be used to reimburse the Issuer for Project
expenditures made by it from its own funds prior to the date
hereof. The Issuer adopted an official intent for the original
expenditures (except possibly for expenditures meeting the
preliminary expenditures exception set forth in section 1.150-
2(f) (2) of the Regulations) not later than 60 days after payment of
the original expenditures, and a copy of such official intent is
attached to this Certificate As To Tax Exemption. Except for
expenditures meeting the preliminary expenditures exception set
forth in section 1.150-2(f) (2) of the Regulations, the Certificates
are being issued and the reimbursement allocation is hereby being
made not later than 18 months after the later of (i) the date the
original expenditures were paid, or (ii) the date the Project is
placed in service or abandoned, but in no event more than 3 years
after the original expenditures were paid. The original
expenditures were capital expenditures, and in connection with this
allocation, the Issuer has not employed any abusive arbitrage
device under section 1.148-10 of the Regulations to avoid the
arbitrage restrictions or to avoid restrictions under section 142
through 147 of the Code.
E. Certificate Fund and System Fund.
1. Pursuant to the Ordinance, the Issuer has levied a
tax on all taxable property in the Issuer to pay principal of and
interest on the certificates as such become due, and such tax has
been pledged to the payment of the Certificates. Amounts collected
from such tax for the payment of the principal of and interest on
the Certificates are to be deposited to the credit of the
certificate Fund maintained on the books of the Issuer.
2. The Ordinance requires that all revenues received by
the Issuer by reason of its ownership and operation of the System
shall be deposited as received in the System Fund, to be disbursed
in the following order of priority:
a. for payment of maintenance and operation
expenses of the System;
b. for payment into the special funds and accounts
created and established for the payment, and benefit of
any Prior Lien Obligations;
-3-
No Text
c. for payment of the limited amounts for the
Certificates;
d. for use by the Issuer for any other purpose of
the Issuer now or hereafter permitted by law.
3. The Certificate Fund will be maintained by the
Issuer primarily to achieve a proper matching of revenues and debt
service payments within each bond year. The Issuer expects that
the following will occur with respect to the money in the
Certificate Fund:
a. such fund will be depleted at least once each
bond year, except possibly for a carryover amount not to
exceed the greater of the previous bond year's earnings
on the Certificate Fund or one-twelfth of the previous
bond year's debt service requirements on the
Certificates;
b. All amounts deposited to such fund to pay debt
service on the Certificates will be spent within 13
months of deposit; and
c. All amounts received from the investment of
such fund will be deposited therein and will be expended
within twelve months of receipt.
4. Except as described above, no funds of the Issuer
have been or will be pledged to payment of the principal of or
interest on the Certificates or otherwise restricted so as to give
reasonable assurance of the availability of such funds for such
purpose.
F. Yield and Nonpurpose Investments.
1. No other obligations of the Issuer which are
reasonably expected to be paid from substantially the same source
of funds as the Certificates were sold within 15 days from the
date the Certificates were sold, except for the "City of Lubbock,
Texas, General Obligation Bonds, Series 199511 (the ••series 1995
Bonds").
2. The discount factor required to reduce the principal
and interest to be paid on the Certificates and the Series 1995
Bonds to a present value on the date hereof, compounding
semiannually, equal to the initial offering prices at which a
substantial amount of each maturity of the Certificates and the
series 1995 Bonds was sold to the public, is 4.98765%. In
determining the initial offering price at which a substantial
amount of each maturity of the certificates and the series 1995
Bonds was sold to the public, the Issuer has relied on
-4-
No Text
certificates from the managing underwriters that purchased such
obliqations.
3. Except as otherwise provided in Section 148(f) of
the Code, the Issuer will account for proceeds of the certificates
separately from other funds of the Issuer and will compute and pay
to the United States Treasury the Rebate Amount due with respect
to the Certificates no less frequently than every five years, in
the installments, to the place, in the manner and accompanied by
such forms or other information as is or may be required by
Section 148 (f) of the Code and the regulations and rulinqs
thereunder.
G. No Abusive Arbitrage Device.
1. In connection with the issuance of the Certificates,
the Issuer has not employed any action which has the effect of
overburdening the market for tax-exempt obligations by issuinq
more bonds, issuinq bonds earlier, or allowinq bonds to remain
outstandinq lonqer than is reasonably necessary to accomplish the
qovernmental purposes of the Certificates.
2. In connection with the issuance of the Certificates,
the Issuer has not employed any action which has the effect of
enablinq the Issuer to exploit the difference between tax-exempt
and taxable interest rates to qain a material financial advantaqe.
