DESCRIPTION OF THE CITY ... The City is a political subdivision and municipal corporation of the State, duly organized and existing under the laws of the State, including the City's Home Rule Charter. The City was incorporated in 1909, and first adopted its Home Rule Charter in 1917. The City operates under a Council/Manager fonn of government with a City Council comprised of the Mayor and six Councilmembers. The Mayor is elected at-large for a two-year term ending in an even- numbered year.

The City Manager is the chief administrative officer for the City. Some of the services that the City provides are: public safety (police and fire protection), highways and streets, electric, water and sanitary sewer utilities, airport, sanitation and solid waste disposal, health and social services, culture-recreation, public transportation, public improvemen1S, planning and zoning, and general administrative services.

In recent years, the City experienced a variety of financial and management challenges, and certain investigations and reports conducted or prepared by the City or its consultants found weaknesses in the City's general management and financial practices, both with the City in general and the City's electric utility system, known as Lubbock Power & Light tLP&L"), in particular. The City is of the view that it has substantially addressed many of these conditions. Reference is made to nDiscussion of Recent Flllll!lcial and Management Eveotsft for a discussion of these events and a description of how the City has responded to these even1S. THE BONDS DEscRlPTION OIITHE BoNDS ..• The Bonds are dated April 15, 2006, and mature on February 15 in each of the years and in the amounts shown on the inside cover page hereof. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day yeac of twelve 30-day months, and will be payable on August 15, 2006, and on each February 15 and August 15 thereafter until maturity or prior redemption. The definitive Bonds will be issued only iu fully registered fonn in any integral multiple of $5,000 for any one maturity and will be initially ~gistered and delivered only to Cede & Co., the nominee of The Depository Trust Company ("OTC") pursuant to the Book-Entty-Only System described herein. No physical delivery of tbe Bends will be made to tbe owners thereof, Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds will be payable by the Paying Agent/Registrar to Cede & Co., which will make distribution of the amounts so paid to the participating members of DTC for subsequent payment to the beneficial owners of the Bonds. See "The Bonds -Book-Entry-Ooly System" herein. Pultl'osE ... Proceeds from the sale of the Bonds will be used 'for the purpose of (i) refunding a portion of the City's outstanding ad valorem lax supported indebtedness (the ftRefunded Obligations") descn'bed in Schedule I to achieve debt service savings and (ii) paying costs of issuance of the Bonds. • PreliminaJy, subject to change. 7 REFUNDED OBLIGATIONS ... Upon delivery of the Bonds, the City will deposit proceeds from the sale of the Bonds with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, Dallas, Texas (the "Escrow Agent"). The amount of Bond proceeds so deposited, when added to any other lawfully available funds and the investment earnings thereon, will be sufficient to accomplish the discharge and final payment of the Refunded Obligations. Such funds will be held by the Escrow Agent in a special escrow account (the "Escrow Fundj and used to purchase direct obligatjons of the United States of America (the "Federal Securities"). Under the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Fund is irrevocably pledged to the payment of principal of and interest on lhe Refunded Obligations and amounts therein will not be available to pay the Bonds. Grant Thornton LLP, Certified Public Accountants (the "Verification Agent"), will verify at the limeof delivery of the Bonds to the Underwriter that the Federal Securities will mature and pay interest in such amounts which, together with uninvested funds, if any, in the Escrow Fund will be sufficient lo pay, on the scheduled inlerest payment dates and redemption dates, the principal of and intereSl on the Refunded Ob ligations, and will issue a report to this effect ( the "Verification Report"). The arithmetical llC(:utacy of certain computations included in the schedules provided by First Southwest Company to the Verification Agent on behalf of the City relating to (a) computation of the sufficiency of the anticipated receipts from the Federal Securities, together with the initial cash deposit, ir any, to pay when due the principal, interest and early redemption premium requirement, if any, of the Refunded Obligations and (b) computation of the yields on the Federal Securities will be verified by the Verification Agent Such computations will be completed using certain assumptions and information provided by First Southwest Company on behalf of the City. The Verification Agent will restrict its procedures to recalculating the arithmetical accuracy of certain computations and will not make any study or evaluation of the assumptions and infonnation on which the computations are based, and accordingly, will not express an opinion on the data used, the reasonableness of the assumptions, or the achievability of the forecasled outcome. By the deposit of Federal Securities and cash, if necessary, with the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, the City will have effected the defeasance of all of the Refunded Obligations in accordance with Texas law. As a result of such defeasance, the Refunded Obligations will be outstanding only for the purpose of receiving paymentS from the Federal Securities and any cash held for such pwpose by the Escrow Agent and such Refunded Obligations will nol be deemed as being outstanding obligations of the City, and the obligations of the City to make payments in support of the debt service on such Refunded Obligations will be extinguished. AureoRITY FOR IssVA.NCE •.• The Bonds are being issued pursuant to the Constitution and general laws of the State of Texas, particularly Texas Government Code, Chapter 1207, as amended. · SECUIUTY AND SOURCE OF PAYMENT ...

( C ( ( ( C ) ) ) omissioll therein. In addition, the City may, with the written consent of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding, amend, add to, or rescind any of the provisions of the Ordinance, except that, without the consent of the registered owners of all of the Bonds no such amendment, addition or rescission may (I) change the date specified as the date on which the principal on any installment of interest is due payable, reduce the principal amount or the rate of interest, or in any other way modify the terms of their payment, (2) give any preference to any Bond over any other Bond or (3) reduce the aggregate principal amount required to be held by owners for consent to any amendment, addition or waiver. DEFEASANC& . • . The Ordinance provides that the City may discharge its obligations to the registered owners of any or all of the Bonds to pay principal, interest and redemption price thereon in any matter permitted by law. Under current Texas law, such discharge may be accomplished by either (i) depositing with the Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State of Texas a sum of money equal to principal, premium, ir any and all interest to accrue on the Bonds to maturity or redemption and/or (ii) by depositing with a paying agent or other authorized escrow agent amounts sufficient to provide for the payment and/or redemption of the Bonds; provided that such deposits may be invested and reinvested only in (a) direct, noncallable obligations of the United States of America, including obligations that are unconditionally guaranteed by the United States of America, (b) noncallable obligations of an agency or instrumentality of the United States of America, including obligations that are unconditionally guaranteed or insured by the agency or instrumentality and that are rated as to investment quality by a nationally recognized investment rating finn not less than AAA or its equivalent, and (c) noncallable obligations ofa state or an agency or a county. municipality, or other political subdivision of a state that have been refunded and that are rated as to investment quality by a nationally recognized investment rating finn not less than AAA or its equivalent.

After finn banking and financial arrangements for the discharge and final payment or redemption of the Bonds have been made as described above, alt rights of the City to initiate proceedings lo call the Bonds for redemption or to talce any other action amending the terms of the Bonds are extinguished; provided however, the right to call the Bonds for redemption is not extinguished if the City: (i) in the proceedings providing for the finn banking and financial arrangements, expressly reserves the right to call the Bonds for redemption; (ii) gives notice of the reservation of that right tO the owners of the Bonds immediately following the making of the finn banking and financial amangements; and (iii) directs that notice of the reservation be included in any redemption notices that it authorizes. BooK-ENTRY-ONL Y SYSTEM ... This secJion describes h(JW ownership of the Bonds is to be transferred and how the principal of. premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds are to be poid to and credited by The Depository Trust Company ('DTC 'J, New York, New York, while the Bonds are registered in its nominee n.ame. The information in this section concerning DTC and the Book-Entry--Only System has been provided by DTC for use in disclosure docunrents such as this Official S1a1ement. The City believes the source of such information to be reliable. but takes no responsibUity for the accuracy or completeness therrof. The City cannot and does not give any assurance that (I) DTC will distribute payments of debt service on the Bonds, or redemption or other notices, to DTC Porticipants, (2) DTC Participants or others will distribute debt service payments paid to DTC or its nominee (as the registered owner of the Bonds), or redemption or other notices, to the Beneficial Owners, or that they will do so on a timely basis, or (3) DTC will serve and act in the manner described in this Official Statement. The current rules applictlb/e to DTC are on file with the Securities and &change Commission, and the current procedures of DTC to be followed in dealing with DTC Participants are on file with DTC. OTC will act as securities depository for the Bonds. The Bonds will be issued as fully•regislered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC's partnership nominee} or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully•registered Bond will be issued for each maturity of the Bonds, in the aggregate principal amount of each such maturity, and will be deposited with DTC. DTC, the world's largest depository, is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a nclearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 2 million issues of U.S. and non•U.S. equity issues, corporate and mwricipal debt issues, and money market instruments from over 85 countries that DTC's participants (''Direct Participantsn) deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants' accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities Bonds. Dim::t Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. OTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation eoTCC"). DTCC, in tum, is owned by a number of Direct Participants of OTC and Members of the National Securities Clearing Corporation, Government Securities Clearing Corporation, MBS Clearing Corporation, and Emerging Markets Clearing Corporation, (NSCC, GSCC, MBSCC, and EMCC, also subsidiaries of DTCC), as well as by the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the American Stock Exchange LlC, and the National Association of Securities Dealers, [nc. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as botli. U.S •. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly (''Indirect Participants"). DTC has Standard & Poor's highest rating: AAA. The DTC Rules applicable to its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com. 9 Purchases of Bonds under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the Bonds on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Bond ("Beneficial Owner") is in tum to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants' records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confinnation from OTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receive written confinnations 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 interests in the Bonds are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in Bonds, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Bonds is discontinued. To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Bonds deposited by Direct Participants with OTC are registered in the name of DTC's partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of OTC. The deposit of Bonds with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other OTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. OTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Bonds; DTC's records reflect only the iden1i1y of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Bonds are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalfof their customers. Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants 10 Indirect Participants, and by Dim:t Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Beneficial Owners of Bonds may wish to take certain steps IO augment the transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the Bonds, such as redemptions, tenders. defaults, and proposed amendments to the Bond documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of Bonds may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the Bonds for their benefit has agreed to obtain and 1ransmit notices to Beneficial Owners. In the alternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the registrar and request that copies of notices be provided directly lo them. Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Bonds within a maturity are being redeemed, DTC's practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such maturity to be redeemed. Neither OTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other OTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to Bonds unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC's Procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the City as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co. 's consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts Bonds are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy). Principal and interest payments on the Bonds will be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an alllhorized representative of DTC. DTC's practice is to credit Direct Participants' accounts upon DTC's receipt of funds and con-esponding detail infonnation from the City or the Paying Agent/Registrar, on payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC's records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in "street name,• and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC nor its nominee, the Paying Agent/Registrar, or the City, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of principal and interest payments to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of the City or the Paying Agent/Registrar, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and lndirect Participants. DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving reasonable notice to the City or the Paying Agent/Registrar. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depository is not obtained, Boods are required to be printed and delivered. Subject to DTC's policies and guidelines, the City may discontinue use of the system of book-entry transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, Bonds will be printed and delivered. Use of Certain Terms in Other Secdoos of Ibis Official Statement In reading this Official Statement it should be understood that while the Bonds are in the Book-Entry-Only System, references in other sections of this Official Statement to registered owners should be read to include the person for which the Participant acquires an interest in the Bonds, but (i) all rights of ownership must be exercised through DTC and the Book-Entry-Only System, and (ii) except as described above, notices that are to be given to registered owners under the Ordinance will be given only to DTC. Information concerning OTC 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 Underwriter. 10 C ( C C ( < ( ( c ) ) } Effect or Termination of Book-Entry-Only System In the event that the Book-Entry-Only System is discontinued, printed Bonds will be issued to the holders and the Bonds will be subject to transfer, exchange and registration provisions as set forth in the Ordinance and SUIIllnariud under nTransfer, Exchange and Registration" below. PAYING AGENT/RJ:GISTRAR ... The initial Paying Agent/Registrar is JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, Dallas, Texas. In the Ordinance, the City retains !he right to replace the Paying Agent/Registrar. The City covenants lo maintain and provide a Paying Agent/Registrar at all times until the Bonds are duly paid and any suc~ssor 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 perform the duties and services of Paying Agent/Registrar for the Bonds. Upon any change in the Paying Agent/Registrar for the Bonds, the City agrees to promptly cause a written notice thereof to be sent to each registered owner of the Bonds by United States mail, first class, postage prepaid, which notice shall also give the address of the new Paying Agent/Registrar. Interest on the Bonds shalt be paid to the registered owners appearing on the registration books of the Paying Agent/Registrar at the close of business on the Record Date (hereinafter defined), and such interest shall be paid (i) by check sent United States mai~ first class postage prepaid, to the address of the registered owner recorded in the registration books of the Paying Agent/Registrar or (ii) by such other method, acceptable to the Paying Agent/Registrar requested by, and at the risk and expense of, the registered owner. Principal of the Bonds will be paid to the registered owner at the stated m.aturity or earlier redemption upon presentation to the designated payment/transfer office of the Paying Agent/Registrar. ff the date for the payment of the principal of or interest on the Bonds shall be a Saturday, Sunday, a legal holiday or a day when banking institutions in the city where the designated payment/transfer office of the Paying Agent/Registrar is located are authorized to close, then the date for such payment shall be the neitt succeeding day wbich is not such a day, and payment on such date shall have the same force and effect as if made on the date payment was due. TRANSFU, ExCRANGE AND REGISTRATION ... In the event the Book-Entry-Only System should be-discontinued, the Bonds may be transferred and exchanged on the registration books of the Paying Agent/Registrar only upon presentation and surrender to the Paying Agent/Registrar and such transfer or exchange shall be without expense or service charge to the registered owner, except for any tax or other governmental charges required lo be paid with respect to such registration, exchange and transfer. Bonds may be assigned by the execution of an assignment form on the respective Bonds or by other instrument of transfer and assignment acceptable lo the Paying Agent/Registrar. New Bonds will be delivered by the Paying Agent/Registrar, in lieu of the Bonds being transferred or exchanged, at the designated office of the Paying Agent/Registrar, or sent by United States mail, first class, postage prepaid, to the new registered owner or his designee. To the eittenl possible, new Bonds issued in an exchange or transfer of Bonds will be delivered to the registered owner or assignee of the registered owner in not more than three business days after the receipt of the Bonds to be canceled, and the written instrument of transfer or request for exchange duly executed by the registered owner or his duly authorized agent, in form satisfactory to the Paying Agent/Registrar. New Bonds registered and delivered in an exchange or transfer shall be in any integral multiple of $5,000 for any one maturity and for a like aggregate principal amount as the Bonds surrendered for exchange or transfer. See flThe Bonds -Book-Entry-Only System" herein for a description of the system to be utilized initially in regard to ownership and transferability of the Bonds. Neither the City nor the Paying Agent/Registrar shall be required to transfer or exchange any Bond called for redemption, in whole or in part, within 45 days of the date fixed for redemption; provided, however, such limitation of transfer shall not be applicable to an exchange by the registered owner of the uncalled balance of a Bond. REcoRD DATE FOR INTEREST PAYMENT ••• Toe record date ("Record Date~) for the interest payable on the Bonds on any interest payment date means the close of business on the last business day of the preceding month. lo 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 mai~ first class postage prepaid, to the address of each Holder of a Bond appearing on the registration books of the Paying Agent/Registrar at the close of business on the last business day next preceding the date of mailing of such notice. II BoNDUOU>£RS' REMEDIES . . . The Ordinance establishes as "events of defau\tft {i) lhe failure to make payment of principal of or interest on any of the Bonds when due and payable; or (ii) default in the performance or observance of any other covenant, agreement or obligation of the City, which default materially and adversely affects the rights of the Owners, including, but not limited to, their prospect or ability to be repaid in accordance with the Ordinance, and the continuation thereof for a period of sixty days after notice of such default is given by any Owner to the City with respect to the Bonds. Under State law there is no right to the acceleration of maturity of the Bonds upon the failure of the City to observe any covenant under the Ordinance. Allhough a registered owner of Bonds could ptt;sumably obtain a judgment against the City if a default occurred in the payment of principal of or interest on any such Bonds, such judgment could not be satisfied by execution against any property of the City. Such registered owner's only practical remedy, if a default occurs, is a mandamus or mandatory injunction proceeding lo compel the City to levy, assess and collect an annual ad valorem tax sufficient to pay principal of and interest on the Bonds as it becomes due. The enforcement of any such remedy may be difficult and time consuming and a registered owner could be required to enforce such remedy on a periodic basis. In addition, recent Texas lower court decisions have questioned whether statutory language aulhoriziog political subdivisions to ftsue and be suedn is sufficient to waive a municipality's sovereign ilMlunity to suit. While these decisions could affect the ability of an Owner to seek specific performance of a covenant made by the City in the Ordinance or other bond document or to seek recovery of damages from the City, the remedy of mandamus has not been at issue in these cases. These decisions ace currently under review by the Texas Supreme Court. The Ordinance does not provide for the appointment of a trustee to represent the interests of the bondholders upon any failure of the City lo perform in accordance with the terms of the Ordinance, or upon any other condition. Furthennore, 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.

[THE REMAJNDER. OF THJS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK] 13 DISCUSSION OF RECENT FINANCIAL AND MANAGEMENT EVENTS rn the 2002 and 2003 fiscal years (a fiscal year is referred to herein as "FY.ff with the year designation being the year in which the fiscal year ends; each City fiscal year begins on October I and ends on September 30), the City experienced a variety of financial and management challenges. [n response to the events and circwnstances that have created such challenges, the City has taken actions to address and correct matters, and the City is of the view that progress bas been made in correcting many of these condilions (see "Discussion of Recent Financial and Management Events -Cily's Responses to Recent Financial and Management Events"). The following discussion includes an analysis of the events that have occurred, a summary of the measures laken in response to the challenges that have arisen, and a current description of the City's financial and management position.

Although lbe City believes such forward-looking statements are based 011 n:asonable assumptions, any such forward-looking s1atemcnl involves uncertainties and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the considerations described below, among olhers, that could cause the actual financial results of the City to differ materially from those contemplated in such foiward-looking statements. The City cannot fully predict what effects factors of the nature described below may have on the operations of the Cify and financial condition of the general fund of the City (the "General Fund") or its business-type activities, including its electric enterprise fund, which operates as Lubbock Light & Power (referred to herein as "LP&L" or the "electric fundff), but the effects could be significant. The discussion of such factors herein does not purport to be comprehensive or definitive, and these matter.; are subject to change subsequent to the date hereof. With respect to LP&L, ~tensive information on the electric utility industry is, and will be, available from the legislative and regulatory bodies and other sources in the public domain, and potential purchasers of the securities of the City should obtain and review such information.

( C ( ( ( ) ) FY 2003 Financial Cooceros and Mid-Year Budget Ameodments Going into FY 2003, the City Council adopted General Fund and Enterprise Fund budgets that were balanced. However, during the preparation of the budget it was apparent that the transfers to the General Fund from the City's electric fund would need to be reduced as compared to transfers included in prior years' budgets. This situation arose as a result of the cumulative effect of net losses to LP&L after transfers to the City's General Fund. During FY 2003, interfund loans were made to LP&L from the water fund and the General Fwd A number of factors contributed to the LP&L losses (see "Discussion of Recent Financial and Management Events -Past Events Relating to LP&L and West Texas Municipal Power Agency"); a significant factor was that LP&L, unlike most other municipal electric utilities in Tellas, competes directly with Southwestern Public Service Company ("SPS"), a subsidiary of a large investor owned energy company, Xcel Energy, [nc. Xcel Energy, Inc., and its subsidiaries with which the City has contracted for energy and other services -principally SPS -and with which it competes, are hereinafter referred to collectively as "Xcel." Xcel is based in Minneapolis., Minnesota, and is the fourth-largest combination electricity and natural gas energy company in the U.S. [n addition to the service area that bas dual certification with Xcel, a small part of the City is also served by South Plains Electric Cooperative ("SPEC"). The City, through LP&L, has competed for both wholesale and retail electric customers against investor owned utilities for over 80 years. This competition has existed despite the fact that the City is nol within the transmission system governed by the Electric Reliability Council of Texas ("ERCOT''). ERCOT was opened to retail electric competition through the adoption of State deregulation legislation that went into effect on January I, 2002. Prior to FY 2004. the City operated LP&L in a manner that was designed to recover administrative or indirect costs provided by the General Fund for LP &L ( such as legal and financial services) as well as certain other general transfers. Such transfers included a payment in lieu of ad valorem taxes, an allocation for indirect costs such as legal and financial services, and a cost of business transfer (which approllitnates a payment in lieu of franchise taxes, and was based on 3% of the gross opera.ting revenues of LP&L) (collectively, the "Cost Recovery Payments"). In addition to the Cost Recovery Payments, prior to FY 2003 LP&L was required to annually transfer to the General Fund amounts to support economic development incentives in the City, a payment designated for infrastructure use, a "gas tax" transfer, and a reimbursement of the street lighting ellpense incurred by the City (collectively, the "Other Transfer Amounts"). Over the ten year period from 1993 to 2002, the average annual operating income of LP&L before transfers was $8 million, and during that period, LP&L transfers to the General Fund for payments in lieu of taxes and recovery of costs of business averaged $8 million per year. During the preparation of the FY 2003 City budgets, it was evident that the amount of money transferred from LP&L to the General Fund would need to be reduced given the financial condition of LP&L. Consequently, the FY 2003 budget trirmned $4.8 million from LP&L transfeD included in prior year budgets. In February 2003. during a period of extraordinarily high natural gas prices, City finance staff projected that, in the absence of corrective measures, the electric enterprise fund would have an operating loss of $24 million for FY 2003. During the then current practice of undertaking a mid-year budget assessment, in the Spring of 2003 the City Council amended the LP&L and General Fund budgets to eliminate $7.7 million in transfers from LP&L to the General Fund. City management then undertook a comprehensive review of the General Fund and other enterprise funds for the purpose ofidentifying budget cuts throughout City government that would offset the reduced LP&L transfers. Ultimately, the City Council adopted budget amendments during the Spring 2003 mid•year review that totaled $9. 7 million for the General Fund (hereinafter referred to as the "2003 Budget Adj11Stments"), which represented approximaJely 10.5% oftbe original FY 2003 General Fund budget. In addition to the $7.7 million budget adjustment made to address the LP&L transfer reduction, the City Council determined to write off$2 million owed to the General Fund from the golf course enterprise fund. Other measures lhat were taken after the 2003 Budget Amendments to address the projected LP&L operating loss included an increase in the fuel cost adjustment ("FCA") for residential and small commercial customers of LP&L by $0.01 per kWh effective May I, 2003 and, effective June I, 2003, the City increased the FCA for its two largest customeD, which include Texas Tech UnivetSity (''Tellas Tech"), and which accouut for approximately 10% of the energy sales of LP&L. AJ. the time of the May I, 2003 FCA increase for residential and small commen:ial customers, the total electric cost energy fur that class of LP&L's customers was appro,timately 30% above those of Xcel In addition, in August 2003, the City issued two series of tax-supported debt to refund $8.S million of LP&L revenue bonds and to provide $13 million for LP&L capital e:ilpCDditures. The City anticipates that such debt will be self-supporting from LP&L revenues, although as discussed below, LP&L failed to generate sufficient revenues to pay all of its outstanding bonds for FY 2003; nevertheless, the issuance of tax-supported debt for LP&L reduced the cost ofbonowing for, and outstanding debt attributed directly to, LP&L. 15 Past Events Relating to LP&L and West Texas Manicipal Power Agency The City is a member of WfMPA, a municipal power agency that was fonned by concurrent ordinances adopted by the governing bodies of the cities of Brownfield, Floydada, Lubbock and Tulia, Texas (the ''Member Ciliesn) in 1983. The original purpose of WTMP A was to engage in the generation, transmission, sale and exchange of electric energy to the Member Cities. As described below, under the heading "Discussion of Recent Financial and Management Events -City's Responses to Recent Financial and Management Events -Recent Measures taken to Address Financial and Management Concerns at LP&L," the scope of WTMP A's activities has changed as a result of a series of related agreements reached among WTMP A and the Member Cities in December 2003 (the nWTMPA Settlements"). WTMPA is a separate political subdivision under the laws of the State. In June 1998, WTMPA issued $28,910,000 of its Revenue Bonds, Series 1998 (the nWfMPA Bondsn), to finance the construction and acquisition of a 62 MW electric co-generation project (the "WTMP A Project"). The WTMP A Project consists of a 40 MW combustion turbine generator (the ''Mllsengale Unit 8 turbine") and the re-powering of an existing 22 MW genetation unit, each located at the City's J.R. Massengale Plant. Numerous issues, both operational and managerial. arose from the WTMP A Project As a result, the City embarlced upon a series of internal financial and management audits of the relationship between LP&L and WTMPA, as well as an analysis of the internal controls of the City with respect to LP&L. Such audits (collectively, the "LP&UWTMPA Management Audit") are available on lhe City's website at www.ci.lubl:,ock.tx.us under the heading "West Texas Municipal Power Agency Audit" No malfeasance was uncovered with respect to the administration oflP&L or WTMPA funds. However, the reviews concluded that the prevailing view that guided the administration of WTMPA affairs by the man11gemen1 of LP&L, was that WTMPA was indistinguishable from LP&L. In April 2003, the WTMPA Member Cities (including the City) engaged Ernst & Yowtg LLP ("E&Y") to conduct an audit of the records of WTMPA and LP&L. The final report of E&Y was delivered in May 2003, and included findings of misallocation of costs among the Member Cities. The report noted that no evidence of misappropriation of assets or intentional omissions of financial information was discovered. The E& Y report found that the misallocations, adding an interest factor for such allocations, and an unbilled 5% management allocation that LP&L was entitled to under the power agreements, would iesult in a total amount owing to the City ofSS,590,746, of which the City owed itself, as a Member City of WTMPA, approximately 90% of the total amount. In March 2005, the City delivered its C-ombination Tax and Electric Light and Power System Surplus Revenue Certificates of Obligation, Series 2005, in the aggregate principal amount of$23,055,000. A portion of the proceeds of this issue was used by the City to acquire the WTMPA Project. WTMPA used-the proceeds received from the City to defease all of the outstanding WTMP A Bonds. The City now owns and operates the WTMP A Project, as part of LP&L. Financial Staff and City Management Turnover Following the publication of the LP&L/WTMPA Management Audit and the E&Y audit, several key City officers and LP&L management ~nnel resigned. Among the officials and management of the City who resigned was a member of the City Council with almost 11 years of service, the City Manager, who bad served 27 years with the City (the last ten of which as City Manager), the Deputy City Manager, who had almost 8 years of service to the City, the Assistant City Manager for Public Works, who had over five years of service to the City, and the ChiefExecutive Officer ofLP&L, who had served in that capacity since 1998. Also, in late summer of 2002, the City's Chief Accountant died during the implementanon of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement 34 ("OASB 34"). Between the beginning of FY 2002 and the close of FY 2003, some 29 persons who held senior management positions wilh the City left the City's employment, some on their own accord and others as a result of a reorganization of City government. For a discussion of the City's. responses to these events, see "Discussion of Recent Financial and Management Events -City's Responses to Recent Financial and Management Events" below. September 30, 2003 Financial Results The General Fund ... As hereafter described in "Discussion of Recent Financial and Management Events -FY 2003 Audit Restatements, Reclassifications and Internal Controls Issues", the financial position of the City in FY 2003 was impacted by significant changes in the reporting entity and prior period adjustments and reclassifications of the City's FY 2002 financial statements. With respect to the General Fund, the beginning fund balance/net assets was restated from $18.6 million to $16.6 million. The iestaternent was attributable to the write off of a receivable in the General Fund from the City's golf fund. In addition, the General Fund experienced a $7.2 million reduction in fund balance/net assets in FY 2003, the most significant drawdown of the General Fund reserves in over ten years. The decrease in fund balance occurred because of the $9.3 million transfer to LP&L to ensure the ongoing operation ofLP&L and the payment oftbe senior lien revenue bonds issued by the City for LP&L. In addition, the General Fund reduction in fund balance was a result of the forgiveness of originally budgeted payments in lieu of taxes, franchise fees and indirect costs of S4.8 million from the elecnic fund to the General Fund. The aggregate result of restatement of the beginning fund balance and the FY 2003 use of fund balance was a General Fund ending balance of$9.4 million. Coming in to FY 2003, the City bad a fund balance (adjusted) of$18.6 million. The City has adopted a policy (the nGeneral Fund Balance Policy") to maintain an unreserved General Fund balance equal to two months operating expenditures. At September 30, 2002 the General Fund balance exceeded the General Fund Balance Policy by S4.5 million. At September 30, 2003, the General fund Balance Policy required a fund balance of $14.2 million. As a result of the FY 2003 16 C C. C C ( ( ( ) ) ) ) events described above. the City was $4.8 million W1der the fund balance required under its policy at the close of FY 2003. The decline in General Fund balance limils the City's ability 10 mitigate future risks of revenue shortfalls and unanticipated expenditures. Reference is made to the infonnation hereafter presented under the headings "Discussion of Recent Financial and Management Events -General Fund and General Government Actions -General Fund Budgetary Actions" and ttFY 2006 Budget, n for a discussion of the results for the General Fund and a summary of the City's planning for FY 2006. The Electric Fund ... With respect 10 LP&L, the measures taken by the City Council during the FY 2003 mid-year budget review yielded substantial results as measured by the projected operating loss of$24 million in February 2003. LP&L ended FY 2003 with a $6.3 million operating loss. Before taking into acco11Dt transfers from other funds, the electric fund reported a $9 million loss, the first such loss in over ten years. As a consequence of the operating loss, LP&L failed to meet its revenue bond rate covenant under which the City has agreed to set rates for the electric system sufficient to produce net revenues equal to 100''/4 of its senior lien bonded indebtedness. In FY 2003, LP&L produced S0.704 million that was available for the payment of debt service, which represents a 0.3 times coverage of average annual debt service and a 0.2 times coverage of maximum annual debt service, in each case after talcing into account the issuance of City general obligation debt for LP&L that occurred in August 2003. Under the temtS of its bond ordinances, the failure to meet the rate covenant, while significant, did not result in the acceleration of LP&L's debt Moreover, the failure did not materially affect LP&L's operations, as LP&L was able lo make its debt payments after receiving a S9.3 million contribution from the General Fund, and LP&L has never defaulted in the payment of its bonded indebtedness. In making ils debt payments, LP&L has not used any moneys set aside as a debt service reserve fund under its senior lien revenue hood ordinances. Despite the relatively small operating income that resulted after taking into account the General Fund contribution to LP&L, total net assets of the electric fund decreased by $3.9 million during FY 2003, to $88.S million, as a result of a restatement of the beginning fund balance. The restatement reflected the write off of a $4.48 million receivable recorded from WTMPA in FY 2002, although the obligation was disputed by the other Member Cities of WIMP A As described below under "Discussion of Recent Financial and Management Events -City's Responses IO Recent Financial and Management Events -Recent Measures talcen to Address Financial and Managemi;nt Concerns at LP&L", the wrMPA Settlements have resolved the disputed receivable. Other Major Enterprise Funds: Water. Sewer, Solid Waste and Stonnwater ... In addition to the electric fund, for which FY 2003 financial results are discussed above, the City's other major enterprise funds, consisting of the water, sewer, solid waste and stonnwater funds, produced total operating revenues ofS7l.6 million in FY 2003, as compared to $73.6 million for FY 2002. In FY 2003, operating expenses for those funds were $57. 7 million, as compared with $51.6 million for FY 2002. Net operating tnnsfers for the other major enterprise funds totaled $12.8 million in FY 2003 as compared to S6.5 million in FY 2002. The increase in net transfers out was due primarily to an increase of$5.2 million in net transfers from the solid waste fund that was attributable to the write off of an interfund loan made to the community investment fund in connection with an economic development grant agreement (see ''Discussion of Recent Financial and Management Events -FY 2003 Audit Restatements, Reclassifications and Internal Controls Issues -Audit Restatements"). In addition. operating expenses of the solid waste fund increased $5.8 million over FY 2002, which was the result of a change in accounting estimate related to depreciation expense for the City's landfills. FY 2003 Audit Restatements, Reclassifications and Internal Controls Issues As was lhe case with other municipalities in the State and U.S., the implementation of GASB 34 by the City in FY 2002 effected a substantial change in the presentation of the City's financial statements. Prior to the implementatiou of GASB 34, governmental accounting standards did not require the use of a government-wide perspective in the presentation of financial information; instead, fund accounting was generally used to present financial data. Under GASB 34, fund accounting has been supplemented by government-wide statements and certain aspects relating to the presentation of the fund level statements have been modified, as well, particularly with respect to the presentation of restricted and unrestricted net assets within each fund. For additional information regarding accounting policies that are applicable to the City, see Note I. "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in the financial statements of the City attached as Appendix B. The FY 2002 financial statements, and the City's financial statements dating to FY 1993, were audited by Robinson Burdette Martin Seright & Burrows, L.L.P. (the ttfonner Extemal Auditor"). In keeping with the overall reassessment of its financial and management affairs undertaken by the City following the occurrenc.e of the events summarized W1der "Discussion of Recent Financial and Management Events-Past Events Relating to LP&L and West Texas Municipal Power Agency FY 2003," in the Summer of 2003, the City conducted a request for qualifications for its extema.L auditor and selected KPMG L.L.P. ("KPMG") to audit its FY 2003 financial statements. Consequently, the Former External Auditor guided the City through the initial year implementation of GASB 34, while in the second year of GASB 34 financial reporting, the City's financial statements were audited by KPMG. Audit Restatements ... During the preparation of the FY 2003 CAFR, some seven restatements to beginning fund balance/net assets were made to various fund level statements of the City. The restatements totaled $36.7 million. These restatements represented an aggregate increase in net assets of the City of $2.56 million, as some affected funds had their beginning balances restated to a higher figure, while other funds were restated to decrease their beginning fund balance. 17 As described above under "Discussion of Recent Financial and Management Events -FY 2003 Financial Concerns and Mid- Year Budget Amendments~, the General Fund was restated from a fund ba.lance ofS18.6 million to $16.6 million to reflect a write off for an at,c0unt receivable, which as of September 30, 2002 bad ceased to be'collectible. Also, as described above under ftOiscussion of Recent Financial and Management Events -September 30, 2003 Financial Results -The Electric F\llld", the electric fund's beginning fund balance was restated downward by $4.48 million to reflect a receivable from WTMPA thal was uncollectible. Other enterprise fund restatements include an $0.867 million increase in the water fund beginning balance and a $0. 722 million increase in the sewer fund beginning balance, each of which were made to reflect a change in accounting treatment pertaining to the appropriate party that is responsible for Rlimbursement of fees collected by the City for new water and sewer connections. With respect to the impact on a particular fund asset, the most significant restatement in beginning fund balance occurred in the City's community investment fund, a fund used in prior years to account for economic development initiatives, which was restated from a beginning balance of $46.8 million to $36.8 million. The change was associated with an economic development grant made by that fund in FY 2002 that was originally reflected on the accounting statements of the City as a loan. [n preparing the 2003 CAFR, it was detennined_that such transaction should be treated as a grant, not a loan, although Market Lubbock, Inc., a component unit of the City that administers the grant agreement, retains certain recourse actions in the event that the grant recipient fails to satisfy its economic development initiative agreement As a result, the receivable in the community investment fund for the $10 million amount was deleted as an asset of the fund ($6 million of the $10 million grant had originally been funded through an interfund loan to the community investment fund from the water and solid waste funds). In addition to these five restalements of existing fund balances, in preparing the 2003 CAFR, new assessments were made with respect to two entities with which the City has long-standing contractual relationships: a corporate entity that does business under contract with the City as "Citibus", and.WTMPA, a legally separate municipal corporation. In prior fiscal years, the former entity bad been accounted for by the City as a discretely presented component unit of the City, while the City's relationship with WTMPA had been described in the footnotes to City financial statements as a contingent liability of the City, because the City had contractually agreed lo provide a debt service guarantee for the debt of the agency. In the 2003 CAFR, the accounting treatment or these entities was reconsidered, and each was added to the City's financial statements as an enterprise fund. The result of the addition of each of these funds was an increase in net assets, in the amount of $12.3 million for the new tJanSit fund, and $3.2 million for the new WTMP A fund. Audit Reclassifications ... In addition to the restatements summarized above, other reclassifications of net assets were made in connection with the preparation of the FY 2003 CAFR. Except for the restatements that were made to the financial statements, as described above, the m:lassifications did not affect the ftbottom line" statement of net assets for a particular fund, and did not reflect the discovecy of missing funds or uncollcctible amounts from the prior fiscal period. Instead, the reclassifications pertain to the portion of a fund's net assets that are shown as invested in plant, restricted for future claims or that are unrestticled and available to support the operations of the entity, and as such, the incorrect information shown in the portions of the FY 2002 financial statements that required corrections, or reclassifications, could have provided a reader of the financial statements with misleading information regarding the liquidity of such funds. ID the preparation of the FY 2003 CAFR, it was discovered that the portion of net assets shown in certain of the financial statements. particularly with respect to the enterprise funds (or business-type activities), had been mathematically incorrectly calculated in the FY 2002 CAFR. While the government-wide statement of net assets of the City included in the FY 2002 CAFR showed $37.9 million unrestricted net assets for business-type activities of the City, the fund financial statements showed an aggregate amount of unrestricted net asselli of the enterprise funds that totaled $195.2 million of unrestricted net assets. The FY 2003 CAFR reports in the government-wide statement of net assets of the City $32.9 million of unrestricted net assets for business-type activities of the City and the fund financial statements in the FY 2003 CAFR report an aggregate amount of unrestricted net assets for the enterprise funds that total $30.2 million ( certain reconciliations are required to balance government-wide and fund level reports, thus small differences should appear between the two presentations). Internal Controls Issues ... In accordance with accounting guidelines, the extemal auditor customarily provides the govenunental entity with a "management letter" that includes a discussion of any material weaknesses in the audited government's internal control structure. In its FY 2003 Management Letter (the "2003 Management Le~). KPMG noted several weakness in the City's internal con1rols, including an overall iotemal control weakness in the City during FY 2003. The 2003 Management Letter noted that the City operated during FY 2003 with an interim City Manager, an interim Chief Financial Officer and a vacant Internal Auditor, and that a high turnover of staff within the City Manager's office dating to late 2002 had a significant effect on the City's intemal control structure. See "Discussion of Recent Financial and Management Events -Financial Staff and City Management Turnover" above. In addition, the 2003 Management Letter noted deficiencies in the year end GAAP financial reporting cycle, citing as elt31tlples the significant restatement of beginning net assets/fund balances and the reclassifications described above, as well as numerous adjustments that were required to be posted after the initial closing of the City's books for FY 2003. The failure to timely obtain financial statements from component units, including WTMP A, was also noted. KPMG recommended that the City review the personnel within the City's accounting department and the accounting staff within LP&L to determine whether .sufficient qualified personnel were in place to provide accurate and timely closing of the City's books and preparation of annual financial statements. Other material weaknesses noted include the failure of the City to properly reconcile its cash balances, the failure of LP&L to meet its bond rate covenant (as described above under "Discussion of Recent Financial and Management Events - September 30, 2003 Financial Results -The Electric Fund"), a lack or oversight or monitoring of contracts with other entities (for 18 r ... ( ' r ' C ' ' ( ) ) example, WTMPA), and the failure of the City to abide by its General Fund Balance Policy (as described above under "Discussion of Recent Financial and Management Events -September 30, 2003 Financial Results-The General Fund"). City's Responses to Recent Financial and Management Events In FY 2004, the City implemented a number of significant steps to address both its management needs and financial challenges. Certain of the measures taken by the City to strengthen City government in general, and to address its financial challenges, are described below. General Fund and General Government Actions > General Fund Budgetary Actions ... The City has restored its General Fund balance within a 2-year period to roughly 20% of operating revenues. For FY 2005, the General Fund balance ended with a surplus of$17,376,420. While no assurances can be given as to future financial results, based on historic expenditure trends, an increase in the General Fund balance of an additional S2.5 million is currently expected for FY 2006 year end. City management also has implemented monthly assessments of the budget. Establishment of Audit Committee ... Through the adoption of a resolution in June 2003, the City Council established an independent Audit Committee composed of five members. The City believes it is one of only a Jew municipalities nationwide that has created an audit committee. taking its design in large part from the provisions of SaJbanes-Oxley Public Company Accounting Refonn and Investor Protection Acl The Audit Committee is charged with maintaining an open avenue of communication between the City Council, City Manager, internal auditor and independent external auditor to assist the City in fulfilling its fiduciary responsibility to its citizens. The committee has the power to conduct or authorize investigations into the city's financial performances, internal fiscal controls, e~sure and risk assessmenl The committee is appointed by the City Council and informally reports to City Manager. The establishment of the Audit Committee is designed to serve as an additional check on the preparation of the City's financial statements and to avoid weaknesses in the City's internal controls, including the status and adequacy of information systems and security. The chairperson is appointed by the Mayor and the other positions are filled by a vote of the City Council. At least two members of the Audit Committee are required to have a background in financial reporting, accounting or auditing, and at least one member is required to be a certified public accountant. The current membership of the committee consists of Mike Epps, an Executive Vice President at American State 8aok in Lubbock, ftm Brunjes, Senior Vice Chancellor and Chief Financial Officer for the Texas Tech Univenity System; Dan Benson, a professor at the Texas Tech University School of Law with expertise in federal criminal law and appellate procedure; RJ. Givens, a real estate agent in the City; Kim Twner, the Director of Internal Audit at Texas Tech; and John Zwiacher, a member of the Board of Directors of LP&L. Mr. Epps is the chair of the Audit Committee. City Management Changes ... As reflected in "City Officials, Staff and Consultants -Selected Administrative Staff", the City has in place an experienced management team representing extensive government service experience.

Recent Measures taken to Address Financial and Management Concerns at LP&L > Increase in Fuel Cost Adjustment ... As described under "Discussion of Recent Financial and Management Events -Past Events Relating to LP&L and West Texas Municipal Power Agency" io May 2003, the City Council approved an increase in the FCA portion of the residential and small commercial customers rate class by $0.0 I per kWh, an average increase of 12.5% for both residential and commercial customers, which resulted io LP&L bemg approximately 30% higher in cost for those rate classifications than Xcel The increase was approved in order to pass through fuel costs that had been incUITed by LP&L but not recovered through its rate base. LP&L adjusts its FCA each month, and may do so under the existing methodology without further action of the City Council, to reflect cum:nt energy prices plus an additional measure to recover a portion of the rolling eighteen month average for uncollected fuel expense; provided, however, that no such adjustment is typically made unless the overall cost of energy after the FCA adjustment permits LP&L to remain competitive with Xcel. If the adjustments will not permit LP&L to remain competitive and are not passed through, they become an unrecovered fuel expense. After losing almost 4,000 metered customers following the May I, 2003 FCA increase; LP&L began to increase its customer count in May 2004. Since May 2004, LP&L has had an average increase of approximately 263 customers per month. The City bas undertaken periodic adjustments to its fuel cost to remain competiti:ve with Xcel In May 200S, the City FCA was increased by $0.085 per kWh, an ineteaSe d!at was in line with a rate increase imposed by Xcel Fwthermore, while maintaining its competitive position, LP&L has undertaken two recent FCA increases to offset increasing fuel costs, including an FCA incR:aSe in November 2005 of approximately 14.78% and an FCA increase in February 2006 of approximately 11.76%. Fuel cost will be continually evaluated and adjustments may be made as wammted. > Establishment of New Electric Utilities Board ... On February S, 2004, the City Council adopted an ordinance (the "LP&L Governance Ordinance") (I) creating a new Electric Utilities Board (the "Electric Board") for LP&L (the new board replaces a former board that was advisory only), (2) reserving certain duties and responsibilities with respect to LP&L to the City Council 19 (i.e., the powers to approve LP&L's annual budget; set LP&L's rates; issue debt for LP&L; exercise the power of eminent domain for LP&L; and require the payment of an annual fee to the City), and (3) mandating the creation of certain reserve accounts by LP&L and restricting the transfer of revenues ftom LP&L to any other fund of the City, including, particularly, the General Fund, until such reserves have been funded. The Electric Board was appointed in February 2004. In June 2004, the City initiated a solicitation to the holders of LP&L's senior revenue debt seeking approval to amend each LP&L bond ordinance to provide for the governance of LP&L by the Electric Board In accordance with the provisions of the bond ordinances, the City was obligated to obtain the consent of at least 51 % of the LP&L bondholders, and in August 2004 the City received the requisite consents. The City amended the bond ordinances to provide for the governance of LP&L by the Electric Board in January 2005. On November 2, 2004, the voters of the City approved a referendum amending the City Charter to require the establishment of the Electric Board. The pwpose of the charter amendment was to ensure the pennanent establishment of the Electric Board, as the action of the City Council in adopting the LP&L Governance Ordinance was subject to repeal by subsequent City Councils. The City Council adopted the New LP&L Govemance Ordinance on December 16, 2004. Each of the New LP&L Governance Ordinance, the bond ordinance amendment and the charter amendment contain similar provisions regarding the powers of the Electric Board, although as noted above, and as further described below, the New LP&L Governance Ordinance includes additional provisions that pertain to the establishment or financial reserves and restrictions on transfer of funds from LP&L. In addition, the charter amendment stipulates that the Electric Board shall determine the transfer and disbursement of all net revenues of the City's electric utility. The New t,.P&L Governance Ordinance provides that the Electric Board consist of nine members appointed by the Cily Council, and that the City Council consider extensive business and/or financial experience as the primary qualification for serving on the Electric Board. Electric Board members serve without compensation. Under the New LP&L Governance Ordinance, the Board is given the authority, duty and responsibility to (l) approve an annual budget and electric rate schedule for submission to the City Council for approval and, from rime to time, submit lo the City Council amendments to the budget and/or the electric rate schedule; (2) oversee the audit of the electric fund,. and engage an accounting finn for that pwpose; and (3) subject to applicable law, includi'ng the City Charter and Code of Ordinances, govern, manage, administer and operate lhe City's electric system, including contracting for legal and other services separate and apart from those provided by the City. In addition, the City Manager is required to consult with, and seek approval of, the Electric Board prior lo appointing and/or removing the director of LP&L. In accor:dance with the New LP&L Governance Ordinance, the director of LP&L reports to the Board. While the City Cotmeil retains substantial powers over the electric system, an additional goal of the City in establishing the Electric Board is to develop local expertise in a pool of individuals who can provide a sharper focus by the City on the operation of LP&L thao has occurred in the recent past. > Establishment of Reserve Funds for LP&L; Restriction on Transfers from LP&L .. .As noted above, the LP&L Governance Ordinance includes a provision that requires LP&L to establish reserve f\mds. Such funds consist of ( 1) an operations reserve fund to be equal to three months' gross retail electric revenue as detennined by LP&L's previous fiscal year; (2) a rate stabilization reserve to be funded to an amount equal to two months' gross retail electric revenue as determined by LP&L's previous fiscal year; and (3) an electric utility development reserve to be funded to a level equal to one months' gross retail electric revenue as determined by LP&L's previous fiscal year and to be used solely to meet any rapid or unforeseen increase in development in the City. Under the LP&l, Governance Ordinance, the City may not require that LP&L transfer any fee equivalent to a franchise fee, a payment in lieu of taxes or other disbursement of the net revenues ofLP&L until (a) aU bond debt service requirements have been funded (which obligation is senior in right to the obligation to fund the reserves) and (b) the reseives have been fully funded. As noted above, the charter amendment provides that the Electric Board shall detennine the transfer and disbursement of all net n:venues. Consequcmtly, subject to (i) provisions of State laws that govern municipal utilities, and which stipulate that a first use of the utility's gross revenues be used to pay operating expenses, and (ii) the obligations of the City with respect to LP&L's bonded indebtedness, it is possible that the Electric Board could devise a flow of funds for LP&L that is substantially different from that set forth in the LP&L Governance Ordinance. To date, the Electric Board has not deviated from the flow of funds contemplated under the LP&L Governance Ordinance. At the end of FY 2005, LP&L partially funded its electric utility development reserve fund by the amount of $2 million. However, LP&L has not funded all of the reserves established under the LP&L Governance Ordinance, as net revenues have been inadequate for a tolal funding of such accounts. Moreover, the mere establishment of the funds does not imply that such reserves will be funded within any particular time frame. Nevertheless, in adopting the LP&L Governance Ordinance and calling the special charter election, the City Council has evidenced its commitment that LP&L be given the opportunity to regain financial stability without being obligated to make ITilnsfers, other than its indirect cost of business transfer, to the General Fund or any other fund of the Cily. > New Contractual Arrangeroents Affecting LP&L Operations and Revenues •. .As a result of continued high (by historic levels) natural gas prices, foUowing the negotiation of an additional wholesale power purchase agreement between the City and SPS in July 2003, the City concluded that, given the then prevailing gas prices, it was more economical to purchase wholesale energy from SPS thao to operate its gas generation units, a significant portion of which are older and, in light of cWTent gas prices, obsolete. In recent years, the City has explored several alternatives to the use of its gas generation units, including the possible acquisition of new generation, perhaps through a joint venture for a coal generation facility, and the possibility of purchasing energy oo a wholesale basis from entities other than Xcel or its subsidiaries. The City is in a severely electric transmission- 20 ( C ( r ... ) J ) ) ) ) ) constrained area. The lack of sufficient transmission for delivery of energy to the City and the absence of other energy providers in the vicinity of the City with excess energy for sale were factors that contributed to the failure of the City to negotiate a wholesale energy purchase agmemenl with an entity other than Xcel or its subsidiaries. Consequently, to reduce fuel and production expenses, in the Summer of 2004 the City began taking greater amounts of energy from the Xcel contracts, and restricted the generation of energy primarily to that produced at lhe WTMPA Project, and only then during periods of high energy demand. As described below under "Wholesale Energy Agreement with Te,c:as Tech", these events led lo a contract dispute between the City and Texas Tech, the largest LP&L customer. > The WTMPA Settlement Agreement ... In December 2003, the City, WTMPA and the other Member Cities of WTMPA entered into a series of agreements styled the "Comprehensive Settlement Agreement." Such agreements were negotiated for the purposes of (I) reallocating among the Member Cities of WTMPA, the right to WfMPA power resources and the costs associated with such power resources, which consist of the WTMPA Project and certain power purchase agreements between WTMPA and SPS; (2) resolving disputes regarding the composition and voting power of the WTMPA board; and()) settling the outstanding, disputed claims for costs incurred by the City on behalf of WTMP A. In addition, the WTMP A Settlements include a purchased power allocation under which the City has agreed to allocate to the other Member Cities energy requifements nominated by the other Member Cities from other agency purchased power agreements, and the City agreed lo schedule such power for the other Member Cities. The WTMPA Settlements repealed certain power sales agreements and operating agreements entered into by the parties in connection with the issuance of the WTMPA Bonds that were associaied with the operation of the WTMPA Project. The WTMPA Settlements eliminated the position of WTMPA chainnan, but the relative voting powen; of the Member Cities were not modified. Under the WTMPA rules and regulations, each Member City appoints two members 10 the WTMPA Board, each of which has an equal vote (certain actions of the WTMPA Board require a six vole ~super majority"). but, in addition to the affirmative votes of the board members, the rules and regulations provide, in effect, a veto right over WTMP A Board actions based upon the amount of net enei;gy consumed by each Member City. As LP&L takes substantially all of the energy from WTMPA resoun:es, it bas a veto over certain of the actions of the WTMPA Board, including adoption of a budget, certain energy sales and the amendment of the agency's bylaws. The City believes the comprehensive settlement agreement modifies the principal WTMPA agreements in a manner that better reflects the historical manner in which the Member Cities have engaged in energy activities. In addition, while LP&L will continue to schedule power deliveries for all Member Cities, the contract administration of WTMP A agreemen1S has been simplified by the acquisition by the City of the WTMP A Project and the defeasance of the WTMP A Bonds. As noted under "Discussion of Recent Financial and Management Events -FY 2003 Audit Restatements, Reclassifications and Internal Controls Issues", for FY 2003 and subsequent years, WTMPA has been classified as an enteJprise fund of the City, which reflects the ex.tensive associations between WTMPA and the City. > New Full Requirements Enenzy Agreement ... In June 2004, WTMPA entered into a 15 year full requirements wholesale power agreement (lhe "New Power Agreement") with SPS. The New Power Agieement became effective July I, 2004, and replaced a series of existing agreements between WTMP A and SPS and the City and SPS, which had expiration dates in 2004 and 2005. Under the New Power Agreement, SPS or its pennitted assigns is obligated to provide all energy requirements for each of the Member CitiesofWTMPA, including the City, during the term of the agreement, which terminates on June 30, 2019. As in past WTMPA agreements, and in accordance with the WTMPA Settlements, LP&L will schedule energy purchased under the agreement for each of the other WTMP A Member Cities. The New Power Agreement includes a fixed demand charge and energy components, with a. pass through of SPS's fuel cost, which is billed in accordance with SPS's FERC approved fuel cost adjustment schedule. Under the terms of the New Power Agreement, the fixed demand charge will increase inctementally, in most years annually, during the tenn of the agreement based upon a predetermined schedule set forth in the New Power AgreemenL SPS may terminate the agr=ment upon the occurrence of an advene regulatory action under which SPS is required to sell generation assets. and WTMP A may terminate the agreement upon notice and during the final four years of the scheduled termination date if WTMPA acquires an interest ill replacement, coal-fired generation. Each party may requife adequate assurances of performance whenever there is a reasonable basis therefor. The New Power Agreement represents a significant departure for LP&L, in that it reflects a long-term commitment to lake all of its energy from SPS. The contract reflects a decision of the City to abandon the role of power generator, although, as described below, in coMection with the consummation of the New Power Agreement the City has entered into two unit contingency agreements (the "Unit Contingency Agreements") with SPS that will require LP&L to maintain i1s generation units for dispaJch by SPS. Among the implications for LP&L of the New Power Agreement are that LP&L bas resolved its long-term power supply issues, and I~ its exposure lo fuel price volatility, although SPS will pass through its fuel charges lo LP&L on a monthly billing basis. SPS, in IUm, may not pass its fuel costs through to its retail customers in the City more frequently than once every six months under current State law that requires SPS to seek a rate order from the PUC before increasing retail fuel cost chaiges. As a result, the New Power Agreement provides the possibility of both advantages and disadvantages lo the City with respect to cash flow, particularly if the City determines to match its FCA to changes in SPS's fuel adjustment, as it has generally done in the pasL According to information filed with various regulatory agencies, the City believes that over 60% of the energy that it purchases from SPS is from coal generation. This fuel mix was a significant factor in the City's determination to approve the New Power Agreement by WTMPA. In the event that gas prices should decline over the term of the Agreement, the City believes that SPS bas the flexibility to switch a larger portion of its generation to gas, including through the use of the City's generation units in accordance with the Unit Contingency Agreements. 21 With respect to the competitive posture of the City in light of the long-tenn commitment of the New Power Agreement, the City notes that under current market conditions, and taking into account the secondary benefits of the agreement, including future savings associated with reduced peiwonel and maintenance costs as a result of the shift from being an active electric generator to being a passive genetator (for SPS under the terms of the Unit Contingency Agreements), the wholesale price of the pun:hased energy, together with the other financial benefits of the Unit Contingency Agreements and the possible receipt of revenues under the new WTMP A gas agreement described below, permits the City to compete favorably with SPS. An additional benefit of the New Power Agreement is that it will permit the City to increase its efforts in developing LP&L's distribution business. In light of recent rate structure changes implemented by both the City and SPS that require new developments in the City to fund electric infrastructure through a development charge paid when the development is platted, new principals in developments are choosing to install only one electric distribution infrastructure. Since this new development charge was implemented in FY 2003, all major new developments in the City have selected LP&L as the electric distributor, which positions the Ci1y as a distributor of energy to those developments in the future, even though the retail provider of such energy could be a utility other that LP&L and other electric pwviders could choose to build their own distribution infrastructure to serve the developments. Perhaps the greatest risk to LP&L from the New Power Agreement is that given the term of the agreement and the dynamic nature of electric competition, over time the wholesale price of the purchased energy will not permit the City to obtain the favorable margins that are currently being achieved by the City. While the City does not believe that the area served by LP&L will be opened in the short-term lo retail deregulation. as is the case in other parts of the State, that could occur during the term of the New Power Agreement. While there are significant uncertainties as to how such deregulation, if it occurs, would be administered, it is possible that new retail energy providers could eoler the market during the term of the New Power Agreement In addition. by tying its energy requirements solely to SP S, and though the other new agreements discussed in this section, the City has significantly increased its dependence on SPS as a counterparty to vital agreements relating to the operation and financial condition of LP&L. Counterparty risk is risk associated with the counterparty's financial condition, credit ratings, changes in business strategies and other quantitative and qualitative measures that could affect the ability of the counterparty to perform its obligations to the City. Both the long-term Unil Contingency Agreement and the New Power Agreement provides the City the right to demand certain credit assurances from its counterparty if it has reasonable grounds for insecurity regarding the perfonnance of any contract obligation. The City was relatively unrestrained by existing gas purchase and transportation agreements in making the move from a generation utility to a full requirements energy purchase business strategy, as only one contract, for gas delivery, was in place that required the City to pay a fixed price component for gas transportation irrespective of whether the City purchases gas. That contract, between the City and ConocoPhillips, expires in February 2008. In connection with the Unit Contingency Agreements, the City has in place standby gas purchase agreements that can be used 10 supply LP&L with gas to the extent that SPS calls upon the units, and the Cily will m:eive an offset against its minimwn gas transportation requirements from ConocoPhillips for any gas pim;based by SPS under the new WTMP A gas contract, if any, described below. While such offset will be subject to the same risks described below with respect to the new gas contract, the City does not anticipate that it will incur substantial costs in connection with prior contractual commilments relating to the purchase and lransportation of natural gas as a result of the new LP&L business strategy. > Other New Energy Related Agreements ... As noted above. in connection with the negotiation of the New Power Agreement, the City negotiated the Unit Contingency Agreements., which consist of two agreements that dedicate the City's generation capacity solely lo SPS, which, subject to certain customary conditions, including reasonable notice and run times, has the right to call upon one or more of the generation units owned or controlled by LP&L, from time to time to meet energy requirements of SPS. Including the WTMP A Project, all of the capacity of which, in accordance with the WTMP A Settlements, is dedicated to LP&L, the City has dedicated generation capacity of 219 megawatts ("MW") to SPS under the Unit Contingency Agreements. The most fuel efficient units within that capacity are the 39 MW capacity of Massengale Unit 8 and the 21 MW capacity of the Brandon Unit I ("Brandon Station"), which is located on the campus of Texas Tech(the ''New Units"). The remaining capacity is in twelve older units (the MOider Units"). With respect to the New Units, SPS may dispatch those units during the tenn ending June 30, 2007; the term of the Unit Contingency Agreement for the Older Units is fifteen years, matching the term of the Power Purchase Agreement, with an expiration date of June 30, 2019. Aside from the differences in units covered, the tenn of the agreements and certain termination provisions in the Older Unit agreement, each Unit Contingency Agreement is substantially identical. The Unit Contingency Agreements include a demand charge, which must be paid irrespective of whether SPS chooses to take energy from the City's units, and an energy charge that is based upon the output of any of the City's units that is dispatched for SPS. While the amount of the energy charge will depend upon the energy taken by SPS from the City's generation units, if any, the Unit Contingency Agreements provide an annual minimum payment by SPS lo the City of S6.3 million. > Natural Gas Sale Agreement ... Subsequent lo its execution of the New Power Agreement, WIMP A and other parties entered into a series of agreements (collectively, the "New WTMPA Gas Agreements") under which WTMPA may acquire natural gas and effectively exchange it for electric power to realize a cost savings. Under the New WTMP A Gas Agreements, WTMP A may purchase natural gas from Texas Municipal Gas Corporation ("TMGC") at below-market prices and sell the gas to SPS in return for a market-priced credit (reduced by nominal administrative and incentive fees) against payments due from WTMPA under the New Power Agreement. The net savings, if any, will be applied proportionately to reduce the power charges of WTMPA's 22 ,. \.. C C ,.. C C C ( ) ) ) Member Cities, including the City. ThfGC is a Texas public fucility corporation crealed for the purpose of acquiring producing natural gas reserves and selling its production to municipal entities such as WfMPA and LP&L. The City's standby gas purchase agreement, mentioned above io connection with the Unit Contingency Agreements, is also with ThfGC. Under the terms of the New WTMP A Gas Agreements, SPS is not obligated to purchase gas ftom WfMP A unless natural gas producers, dealers, or other suppliers execute contracts to sell gas to TMGCs upstream gas provider, those suppliers offer to sell such gas on terms that SPS considers at least as advantageous as those available from other producers and dealers, and the aggregate quantities sold do not exceed either SPS's Texas gas requirements or the quantities available to WTMP A from TMGC at a discount from lhe offered prices or the quantities needed to generate WfMP A's electric requirements.. WTMP A's market- price credit is based on the prices offered by the qualified suppliers. and its supply of gas is dependent on sales by the qualified suppliers at those prices. TMGC has secured contracts with five suppliers (Conoco Phillps, Coral Energy, NOTS, Concorde Energy, and Tenaska). There can be no assurance that sufficient qualified suppliers will contract to sell gas, or that they will offer to do so on sufficiently advantageous tenns, IO supply all or any portion of WTMP A's gas requirements under the New WTMP A Gas Agreements. In addition, the discount now offered by TMGC may be reduced as necessary to enable it to comply with financial covenants, although the discount has remained essentially constant for three years. For these and other reasons, there can be no assurance that WTMPA will be able to realize savings in any amount or for any tenn for the benefil of its members under the New WTMPA Gas Agreements. Nevertheless, the City believes that the New WTMPA Gas Agreements contain sufficient economic incentives to induce SPS to qualify sufficient suppliers and to accept gas under the agreements up to the permitted quantities, and that the TMGC discount will continue to hold. Accordingly, the City has included $3.8 million in gas rebate income in the electric system's FY 2006 operating budget That amount assumes that the maximum quantities of gas will be acquired and credited by SPS under the New WfMPA Gas Agreements in FY 2006; City management is or the view, however, that it is possible the rebate budgeted will be achieved. Wholesale Energy Agreement wlth Texas Tech ... As noted above, Texas Tech, a four year State institution of higher education with a student enrollment of almost 29,000, is the largest customer of LP&L in terms of both energy sold and revenues generated. In 1990, the City constructed Brandon Station oo the campus of Texas Tech. The Brandon Station is a cogeneration plant and waste heat is used to produce steam which in the past has been sold to the University. In addition, the City owns the electric distribution system on the campus of Texas Tech.. In response to mediation to resolve disputes under a prior agreement, the City and Texas Tech executed a new contract on April 28, 2005 (the ''New Texas Tech Agreement"). In general terms, Texas Tech has agreed to continue to purchase energy from the City at a price that wlll provide the City wlth a small rate of return. and is paying for energy usage at the rates provided in the New Texas Tech Agreement The City has agreed that steam produced at Brandon Station, if any, will be delivered to Texas Tech at no charge. The City has also agreed with Texas Tech that it may terminate the agreement upon reasonable notice to the City, in which event the City will wheel energy to Texas Tech in accordance with an energy delivery charge. The City is of the view that the New Texas Tech Agreement has resolved the dispute with its latgest customer on terms that are mutually beneficial for the parties. New Chief Executive Officer for LP&L ... Gary Zheng was appointed Chief Executive Officer of LP&L in September 2005. Previously, he bad served as the Superintendent of Electric Distributions at LP&L and subsequently, from March 2003 until bis recent appointment to CEO, as the Chief Operating Officer of LP&L. He has more than 19 years of engineering and management experience in electrical utility business. Mr. Zheng, a registered Professional Engineer, is a graduate of the Unive111ity of Southern California with a MS in Electrical Engineering, a MS in Computer Engineering and a PhD in Electrical Engineering. FY 2006 Budget General Fund ... The City Council adopted the FY 2005-06 budget and five year forecast on September 8, 2005. The City's FY 2005-06 budget for the General Fund is balanced wlth SI05.8 million in total revenues and expenses.. The budget projects that sales tax revenues wlll produce 54.0% of total tax revenues (tax revenues represent 69.9% of the General Fund's total operating revenues), while ad valorem tax revenue is budgeted to produce 44.7% of total tax revenues. As shown in Table 14 "Municipal Sales Tax History," the City's sales tax receipts have increased each year over the past six years. In FY 2006 the City's total tax rate was set at $0.4472 per $100 taxable assessed valuation, down from S0.4597 in FY 2005. The City's tax. roll increased $701.0 million, or 8.1%, from FY 2005 to FY 2006. The City Council, on June 12, 2003, passed a resolution affirming their support for truth-in-taxation. The goal of this n:solution is to allow the citizens to be better infonned about the real needs of City government and if the increased revenue from increased appraisal values is truly necessary. The resolution goes on to provide that each year the tax rate should be adopted based on the actual needs of government This goal was affirmed in April 2004 in a resolution that stated lhe City Council has supported as well as taken action to provide tax relief to property owners within the City, and that the City Council recognized the need for the City lo be autonomous in its ability to provide the public safety, health, and quality of life for its citizens. The FY 2005-06 Operating Budget was developed in consideration of the goals oftbe resolutions and as a result, there was a $0.0125 reduction in the adopted tax rate. 23 Total transfers to lhe General Fund from enterprise and internal service funds are budgeted to decrease by S4.2 million, while transfers out decrease by $3.0 milli01L On the expenditure side, administrative services, community services, cultural and recreation services and public works budgets are comparable wilh the amended FY 2005 budgel Expenditures for public safety are $7.1 million greater than the amended FY 2004--05 budget, or an 11.2% increase. This increase is due to the City Council goal of increasing public safety officers in Fire and Police. Overall. Genera.I Fund operating ell:penditures are budgeted to increase by $6.3 million over the amended FY 2005 budget Enterprise Funds •.. The following table illustrates the revenues, use or contribution of net appropriable assets, and appropriation as approved in the City's FY 2005-06 adopted operating budget and five year forecast for the Solid Waste, Wastewater, Water and Electric Funds: Adopted FY200S-06 Adopted Planned Use Adopted Change FY2005-06 (Contribution) FY 2005-06 from Revenues Net Assets Appropriation Prior Year Solid Waste $ 13.9 0.8 14.7 -33.6% Wastewater 21.2 0.8 22.0 -13.9% Water 37.9 2.2 40.1 3.8% LP&L 196.3 (2.5) 193.8 7.3% The decreased budget in Solid Waste is a result of reduced transfers to the Sewer Fund. In 2004-05, a transfer of $5.0 million to the Wastewater operating fund occurred in order to fund the Wastewater rate stabilization fund. Additionally, a reduction in tipping fee expense of $35 million for the City garbage collections department was budgeted. Historically, the landfill was charging landfill-tipping fees to the City garbage collections departmeoL Since the landfill and garbage collection departments both reside in the Solid Waste fund, the revenues and expenditures were inflated by the amount of those charges. These revenues and expenditures have been eliminated to reflect the true revenues and ell:penditures in lhe fund. The change had a zero net effect on the uti Ii ty' s fund balance. The decreased budget in Wastewater is a result of reduced transfers to the Wastewater Rate Stabilization Fund. In 2004-05, a transfer of $5.0 million from the operating fund to the Wastewater rate stabilization fund occurred. This transfer was not budgeted for FY 2005-06 as the rate stabilization fund was at adequate levels.

The appraisal of property within the City is the responsibility of the Lubbock Cowity Cenlral Appraisal District (the "Appraisal District;. Excluding agricultural and open-space laod, which may be taxed on the basis of productive capacity, the Appraisal District is required under the Property Tax Code (defined below} to appraise all property within the Appraisal District on the basis of I 00% of its market value and is prohibited from applying any assessment ratios. In detennining market value of property, different methods of appraisal may be used, including the cost method of appraisal, the income method of appraisal and market data comparison me1hod of appraisal, and the melhod considered most appropriate by the chief appraiser is to be used. State Jaw further limits the appraised value of a residence homestead for a lax year IO an arnoWll not to exceed lhe lesser of (I) the marlcet value of the property, or (2) the sum of(a) 10% of the appraised value of the property for the last year in which the property was appraised for laxation times the number of years since the property was last appraised, plus (b) lhe appraised value of the property for the last year in which the property was appraised plus (c) the market value of all new improvements to the property. The value placed upon property within the Appraisal District is subject to review by an Appraisal Review Board, consisting of three members appointed by the Board of Directors of the Appraisal District The Appraisal District is required to review the value of property within the Appraisal District at least every three years. The City may require annual review at its own expense, and is entitled to challenge the determination of appraised value of property within the City by petition filed with the Appraisal Review Board. Reference is made to Tille I of the Texas Taic Code (the "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 pwposes; and the procedures and limitations applicable to the levy and collection of ad valorem taxes. Article vm of lhe State Constitution(" Article vnr; 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 vm, and State law, the governing body of a political subdivision, at its option, may grant (I) an exemption ofnot less than $3,000 of the mad:et value of the residence homestead of persons 65 years of age or older and lhe disabled from all ad valorem laxes thereafter levied by the political subdivision; or (2) an exemption of up to 20% of the market value of residence homesteads. The minimum exemption under this provision is $5,000. In lhe case of residence homestead exemptions granted under Section 1-b, Article VIII, ad valorem laJces 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 lhe levy would impair the obligation of the contract by which the debt was created. State law and Section 2, Article VIll, mandate an additional property tax ex.emption for disabled veterans or the surviving spouse or children of a deceased veteran who died while on active duty in the anned forxes; the exemption applies to either real or personal property with the amount of assessed valuation exempted ranging from $5,000 lo a maximum of$12,000. Effective January l, 2004, under Article VIII and State law, the governing body of a county, municipality or junior college district, may provide that the total amount of ad valorem taxes levied on the residence homestead of a disabled pem>n or persons 65 years of age or older will not be iocreased above the amount of taxes imposed in the year such residence qualified for such limitation. Also, upon teeeipt of a petition signed by five percent of the registered voters of the county, municipality or junior college district, an election must be held to determine by majority vote whether to establish such a limitation on taxes paid on residence homesteads of persons 65 years of age or older or who are disabled. Upon providing for such exemptioo, such freeze on ad valorem taxes is transferable to a different residence homestead within the taxing unit and to a surviving spouse living in such homestead who is disabled or is at least 55 years of age. If improvements (other than maintenance or repairs) are made to the property, the value of the improvements i.s taxed at the then current tax rate, and the total amount of taxes imposed is increased to reflect the new improvements with the new amount of taxes then serving as the ceiling on taxes for the following years. Once established, lbe tax rate limitation may not be repealed or rescinded. The City has established such a limitation on ad valorem taxes. Article VIII provides 1hat eligible owners of both agricultural land (Section 1-d) and open-space land (Section I -d-l ), including open-space land devoted lo farm or ranch pwposes 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-<I and l-d-1. Nonbusiness personal property, such as automobiles or light trucks, are exempt from ad valo1etn 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 vm, Section 1-j, provides for "freeport property~ to be exempted from ad valorem taxation. Freeport property is defined as goods detained in Texas for 175 days or less for the purpose of assembly, storage, manufacturing, processing or fabrication. Decisions to continue to tax may be reversed in the future; decisions to exempt freeport property are not subject to reversal. The City may create one or more tax increment financing zones, under which the tax values on property in lhe wne are "frozen" at the value of the property at the time of creation of the zone. Other overlapping taxing units may agree to contribute all or part of future ad valorem taxes levied and collected against the value of property in lbe zone in excess of the "frozen value" to pay or 25 finance the costs of certain public improvements in the zone. Taxes levied by the City against the values of real property in the zone in excess of the "frozen value" are oot available for general city use but are restricted to paying or financing "project costs" within the zone. See ''Tax Increment Financing Zones" below. The City also may enter into tax abatement agreements to encourage economic development Under the agreements, a property ownef 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 lo the improvements until the expiration of the ag,:eement. The abatement agreement could last for a period ofup to 10 years. See "Tax Abatement Policies" below. EFTECTIVE TAX RATE AND RoLLBACK TAX RATE ..• By each September I or as soon thereafter as practicable. the City Council adopts a tax rate per $100 talalble value for the current year. The City Council is required to adopt the annual tax rate for the City before the later of September 30 or the 6011> day after the date the certified appraisal roll is re<:eived by the City. If the City Council does not adopt a tax rate by such required date the tax rate for .that tax year is the lower of the ~effective tax rate" calculated for that tax year or the tax rate adopted by the City for the preceding tax year. The tax rate consists of two components: ( 1) a rate for funding of maintenance and operation expenditures and (2) a rate for debt service. Under the Property Tax Code, the City must annually calculate and publicize ils "effective tax rate" and "rollback tax rate". A tax rate cannot be adopted by the City Council that exceeds the lower of the rollback tax rate or 1he effective tax rate until two public hearings are held on the proposed tax rate following a notice of such public hearing (including the requirement that notice be posted on the City's website if the City owns, operates or controls an internet website and public notice be given by television if the City has free access to a television channel) and the City Council has otherwise complied with the legal requirements for the adoption of such tax rate. If the adopted tax rate exceeds the rollback tax rate the qualified voter.. of the City by petition may require that an election be held to determine whether or not to reduce the tax rate adopted for the current year 10 the rollback tax rate. "Effective tax rate" means the rate that will produce last year's total tax levy (adjusted) from this year's total taxable values (adjusted). "Adjusted" means lost values are not included in the calculation of last year's taxes and new values are not included in this year's taxable values. "Rollback tax rate" means the rate that will produce last year's maintenance and operation tax levy (adjusted) from this year's values (adjusted) multiplied by 1.08 plus a rate tha1 will produce this year's debt service from this year's value8 (unadjusted) divided by the anticipated tax collection rate. The Property Tax Code provides that certain cities and counties in the State may submit a proposition to the voters to authorize an additional one-half cent sales tax on retail sales of taxable items. If the additional tax is levied, the effective tax rate and the rollback tax rate calculations are required to be offset by the revenue that will be generated by the sales tax in the current year. Reference is made to the Property Tax Code for definitive requirements for the levy and collection of ad valorem taxes and the calculation of the various defined tax rates. PROPERTY AssESSMENT AND TAX PAYMENT ... Property within the City is generally assessed as of January I of each year. Business inventory may, at the option of the taxpayer, be assessed as of September. Oil and gas reserves are assessed on the basis ofa 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 1. PENAL TIES AND INTEREST . . . Charges for penalty and interest on the unpaid balance of delinquent taxe5 are made as follows: Cumulative Cumulative Month Penalty Interest Total February 6% 1% 7% March 7 2 9 April 8 3 II May 9 4 13 June 10 5 15 July 12 6 18 26 C C ( ' ,. .. ( ) ) \ ) ) ) After July, the 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 cin:umstances, 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 collec,ion 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 prevenlS governmental units from foreclosing on property and prevents liens for post-petition taxes from attaching to property and obtaining secured creditor status unless, in either case, an order lifting the stay is obtained from the bankruptcy court. In many cases post-petition taxes are paid as an administrative expense of the estate in bankruptcy or by order of the bankruptcy court. CITY APFLICA TION OFT AX CODE ... The City grants an exemption to the market value of the residence homestead of persons 65 years ofage or older of S 16,600; the disabled are also granted an exemption of$ I 0,000. The City has not granted any part of the additional exemplion of up to 20% of the market value of residence homesteads; the minimum exemption that may be granted under this provision being $5,000. The City has established the tax freeze on residence homesteads of disabled persons and persons 65 and over. See Table I for a listing of the amounts of the exemptions described above. Ad valorem taxes are not levied by the City against the exempt value of residence homesteads for the payment of debt. The City does not tax nonbusiness personal property; and the Appraisal District collects taxes for the City. The City does not permit split payments of taxes., and discounts for early payment of taxes are not allowed by the City, although permitted on a local-option basis by the Property Tax C-Ode. In the past, the City has taxed freeport property, although beginning with the 1999 tax year the City has exempted freeport property from taxation. The City collects an additional one-eighth cent sales tax. for reduction of ad valorem taxes. The City held an election on November 4, 2003 to increase this tax by one quarter cent, for a total of three eighths of a cent. The rate increase became effective on October I, 2004. The City has adopted tax abatement policies, as described below. TAX ABATEMENT PouCIES .•• The City has established a tax abatemenl program lo encourage economic development. In order to be considered for tax abatement, a project must be located in a reinvestment zone or enterprise zone (a commercial project must be in an enterprise zone) and must meet several crit.eria pertaining to job creation and property value enhancement. The City has established tluee enterprise zones, the north zone, of approximately 18.6 square miles, the south zone, of approximately IS.7 square miles, and the international airport zone, of approximately 10.3 square miles. At present, there are 20 active enteJprise projects and tax abatements, principally in the northeast and southeast sections of the City. In accordance with State law, the City bas adopted policies for granting tax abatements, which provide guidelines for tax abatements for both industrial and commercial projects. The guidelines for industrial and commercial projects are similar, except that qualifying industrial projects may receive a ten year abatement, while qualifying commercial projects are limited to five year tax abatements. Although older abatements made by the City were given full (100%) tax abatement, since 1997 the City bas negotiated abatements on a declining percentage basis, with a portion of the tax value being added to the City's tax roll each year during the life of the abatement. Toe City's policies provide a variety of criteria that affect the terms of the abatement, including the projected life of the project, the type of business seeking the abatement, with certain businesses targeted for abatement, the amount of real or personal property to be added to the tax roll, the number of jobs to be created or retained, among other factors. The policies disallow abatements for certain categories of property, including real property, inventories, tools, vehicles, aircraft, and housing. Each abatement policy provides for a recapture of the abated taxes if the business is discontinued during the term of the agreement, except for discontinuances caused by natural disaster or other factors beyond the reasonable control of the applicant For a description of the amount of property in the City that has been abated for City taxation purposes, see "Table l - Valuations, Exemptions, and General Obligation Debt" TAX INCREMENT FINANCING Z.ONES ••• Chapter 31 I, Texas Tax Code, provides that the City and other taxing entities may designate a continuous geographic area in its jurisdiction as a TIF if the area constitutes an economic or social liability in its present condition and use. Other overlapping taxing units may agree to contribute all or a portion of their taxes collected against the ttJncremental Value" in the TIF to pay for TIF projects. Ally ad valorem taxes relating to growth of the tax base in a TIF above the frozen base may be used only lo finance improvements within lhe TIF and are not available for the payment of other tax supported debt of the City and other participating tax.ing units. Together with other taxing units, the City participates in two TIFs, the Cenlral Business District Reinvestment Zone (the "Downtown TIFtt) and the North Overton Tu Increment Financing Reinvestment Zone (the "North Overton TIF"). 27 The Downtown TIF covers an approximately 0. 71 square-mile area which includes part of the central business district and abuts the North Overton TIF. The base taxable values of the TIF are frozen at the level of taxable values for 2001, the year of creation, at $101,376,054. In FY 2005, the Downtown TIF had a taxable value of$! 17,046,263 before talcing into account tax abatements and exemptions. Airer tax abatements and exemptions, the tax value in the Downtown TIF is $114,147,891. In addition to the City, the County, Lubbock County Hospital District and the High Plains Underground Water Conservation District (collectively, the "Taxing Units"} participate in the Downtown TIF. Given the relative tax rates of the participants, it is anticipated that the City will be the largest contributor to the tax increment fund if there is growth from the frozen base. The Downtown TlF was created pursuant to City ordinance and official action of the other participating taxing entities and is to expire in 2021. In addition to the Downtown TIF, the City enacted an ordinance in 2001 establishing the North Overton TIF. Each of the other Taxing Units in the Downtown TIF also participate in the North Overton TIF. As is the case with the Downtown TIF, the tax.es levied by the City in the FY 2005 represent approllimately 54.8% of all taxes levied by all participating Taxing Units. The City ordinance establishing the North Overton TIF provides that the TIF will tenninate on December 31, 2031 or at an earlier time designated by subsequent ordinance of the City Council. The North Overton TIF consists of approximately 325 acres near the Central Business District of the City. The frozen tax base for the North Overton TIF was established as of January I, 2002 at $26,940,604. In FY 2005, the North Overton TIF had a taxable value ofSl44,869,221 before taking into account lax abatements and eitemptions. After tax abatements and exemptions. the tax value in the North Overton TIF is $144,045,505. [THE REMAINDER OF THis PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK] 28 ,. ... C C ( ,. ...

(4) As a matter of policy, the City provides debt seivice on general obligation debt issued to fund improvements to its Waterworks System. Sewer System, Solid Waste System, Tax Increment Finance Reinvestment Zone, Gateway Fund, Electric Light and Power System and Drainage System from surplus revenues of these Systems (see "Table 8A -Pro-Forma General Obligation Debt Service Requirements", "Table 88 • Division of Debt Service Requirements", "Table 9 -Interest and Sinking Fund Budget Projection" and "Table 10-Computation of Self-Supporting Debt"). "Waterworks System General Obligation Debt" includes $1 17,521,524 principal amount of outstanding general obligation bonds and certificates of obligation that were issued to finance or refinance Watenvorks System improvements, and that are being paid, or are expected to be paid, from Waterworks System revenues. The City bas no outstanding Waterworks System Revenue Bonds but has obligated revenues of the Waterworks System under water supply contracts. 29 "Sewer System General Obligation Debt" includes $57,633,526 principal amount of general obligation bonds and certificates or obligation that were issued to finance Sewer System improvements, and that are being paid, or are expected to be paid, from Sewer System revenues. The City has no outstanding Sewer System Revenue Bonds. "Solid Waste Disposal System General Obligation Debt~ includes $11,747,885 principal amount of general obligation debt that was issued for Solid Waste System improvements, and that is being paid, or is expected to be paid, from revenues derived from Solid Waste service fees. The City has no outstanding Solid Waste Disposal·System Revenue Bonds. "Drainage Utility System General Obligation Debt" includes $79,409,173 principal amount of general obligation debt that was issued for Drainage System improvements, and that is being paid, or that is expected to be paid, from revenues derived from Drainage Utility System fees. The City has no outstanding Drainage Utility System Revenue Bonds. "Tax Increment Financing General Obligation Debt" represents $18,769,896 principal amount of general obligation Tax Increment Certificates of Obligation issued for construction of improvements in the North Overton TIF, and is being paid. or is expected to be paid, from revenues derived from the Pledged Tax Increment Revenues. The City has no outstanding Tax Increment Financing Revenue Bonds. However, for FY 2005 the City projects that the incremental tax revenue available lo cover debt service on the existing Tax Increment Certificates of Obligation will cover approximately 57% of such debt, and that for FY 2006 (based upon the January 1, 2004 tax roll), the incremental tax revenue available to cover debt service on the existing Tax Increment Certificates or Obligation will cover approximately 97% of such debl In FY 2007, based upon development projections that the City believes to be reasonable, but which are dependent in part on future economic conditions and other factors that the City can not conlro I and as to which it can give no assurances, the City anticipates lhilt tax increment revenues will be adequate to cover debt requirements on the existing Tax Increment CertificaJes of Obligation. In the interim, the City intends to make an interfund loan to cover the debt service, and if the projected development in the Nonh Overton TIF proceeds as expected, the City would repay such loan from revenues received in future years. The North Overton master plan projects additional debt to be issued by the City for infrastructure improvements in the TIF. If that occurs, there would likely be years in which the TIF would not produce revenues in amounts sufficient to cover all debt issued for it, at least until the TIF has reached full build-out status- "Electric Light and Power System General Obligation Debt" includes $51,931,908 principal amount of general obligation bonds and refunding bonds that were issued to finance Electric Light and Power System improvements and to refund certain Electric Light and Power System Revenue Bonds. "Cemetecy General Obligation Debt" includes $491,408 principal amount or general obligation debt that was issued to finance Cemetery improvements. •Gateway General Obligation Debt" includes $17,115,740 principal amount of general obligation debt that was issued for Gateway Streets improvements, and that is being paid, or that is expected to be paid, from Franchise Fees.

The City Council adopted a resolution during the 1984-85 budget process establishing capital maintenance funds for capital projects. A capital improvement plan is made for planning purposes and may ideotify projects that will be deferred or omitted entirely in future years. In addition, as conditions change. new projects may be added that are not currently identified. Under current City policy, for a project lo be funded as a capital project it must have a cost of$25,000 or more and a life of seven or more years. For FY 2006, the City Cowicil approved $101.5 million in total expenditures for capital projects for all general purpose projects, as well as projects for the electric fund, water fund, sewer fund. solid waste fund, storm.water fund and airport fund (up from $26.9 million in FY 2005). The Capital Projects Fund blldget for FY 2006 also included an additional $305.4 million in future improvements for all City departments over the four succeeding fiscal years. The improvements included in the City's capital improvement plan are generally funded from a blend of bond proceeds, reserves or current year revenue sources. As shown in Table l l, after the issuance of the proposed ~eral Obligation Bonds, Series 2006, the City will have $17,970,000 of authorized but unissued bonds from the May 15, 2004 bond election. When tha1 election was held. the City anticipated that the booos would be issued over the 2004 through 2008 time frame. The City typically issues voted bonds for general purpose City projects, such as streets, parks, libraries, civic centers and public safety improvements. However, the City has incurred substantial unvoted tax supported debt to fund portions of the capital budget of the Electric Fund. Water Fund, Sewer Fund, Solid Waste Fund, Storm Water Fund, Tax Increment Fund. Gateway Fund and Airport Fund. As described elsewhere in this Official Statement, such enterprise ti.Ind indebtedness is generally anticipated to be self-supporting from enterprise fund revenues. 39 TABLE 12 -On!ER OBLlGATI0NS ru February 28, 2006, the City had capital lease obligations for leased equipment in the following amounts: Fiscal Governmental Business-type Total Year Capital Lease Capital Lease Capital Lease Ended Minimum Minimwn Minimum 9/30 Pa:z:!!!ent Pa:z:!!!ent Pa:z:!!!ent 2006 $ I, 167,281 $ 584,092 $ 1,751,373 2007 679,328 461,618 I, 140,946 2008 679,328 130,124 809,452 2009 659,569 127,681 787,250 2010 530,413 127,681 658,094 2011-2015 639,898 639,898 Less Interest: {400,932) F6,620~ (477,552) $ 3,954,885 $ 1,354,576 $ 5,309,461 At February 28, 2006, the City had a note agreement outstanding described as follows: On January s"', 2004, the City entered into a note agreement with the Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") for loan guarantee assistance under Section 108 oftitle I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, in the amount of$1,000.000.

TExAs MUNlCIPAL ilEnREMENT SYSTEM (l)(2) ••• All pennanent, full-time City employees who are not firefighters an: coveted by the Texas Municipal Retirement System ("TMRS"). TMRS is an agent, multiple-employer, public employee retirement system which is covered by a State statute and is administered by six trustees appointed by the Governor of Texas. TMRS operates independently of its member cities. The City joined TMRS in 1950 to supplement Social Security. All City employees except firefighters are covered by Social Security. Options offered under TMRS, and adopted by the City, include current, prior and antecedent service credits, five year vesting, updated service credit, occupational disability benefits and survivor benefits for the spouse of a vested employee. An employee who retires receives an annuity based on the amount of the employees contributions over-matched two for one by the City. Since October II, 1997, the employee contribution rate has been 7% of gross salary. The City's contribution rate is calculated each year using actuarial techniques applied to experience. The 2006 contribution rate is 15.84%. 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, 2004, the actuarial value of assets held by TMRS (not including those of the Supplemental Disability Fund, which is "pooled"), for the City were $186,398,545. Unfunded actuarial accrued liabilities on December 31, 2004 were $62,034,262, which is being amortized over a 25-year period beginning January, 1997. Total contributions by lhe City to TMRS for Calendar Year 2005 were $ I 0,426,241. FIR.EMEN'S RELIEF AND RETlREMENT FUIIID (t)_ •• City firefighters are members of the locally administered Lubbock Firemen's Relief and Retirement Fund (the "Fund"), operating under an act passed in 1937 by the State Legislature and adopted by City firefighters, by vote of the department, in 1941. Firefighters are not covered by Social Security. The Fund is governed by seven trustees, consisting of three firelighters, two outside trustees (appointed by the other trustees), the Mayor or the representative thereof and the chief financial officer or the representative thereof. ExecUlion of the act is monitored by the Firemen's Pension Commissioner, who is appointed by the Governor. Benefits of retired firemen are detennined on a "fonnula" or a "final salary" plan. Actuarial reviews are performed every two years, and the fimd is audited annually. Firefighters contribute a percentage of full salary into the fund. The ftrefighters' contribution rate for 2006 is 12.43%. The City must contribute a like amount; however, the city contributes on a basis of the percentage of salary which is a ratio adjusted annually thal bears the same relationship to the firefighter's contn"bution rate that the City's rate paid into the TMRS and FICA bears lo the rate other employees pay into the TMRS and FICA. The City's contribution rate for 2006 is 19.93% .. As of December 31, 2004, unfunded pension benefit obligations were $13,816,991 which is amonized with the excess of the assumed total contribution rate over the nonnal cost rate. The number of years needed to amortize the unfunded pension obligation is determined using an open. level percentage of payroll method, assuming that the payroll will increase 4% per yeu, and was 24. 7 years as of the December 31, 2002 actuarial valuation and 20.6 ye.us as of the December 31, 2004 actuarial valuation, both based on the plan provisions effective November I, 2003. 0nmR POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS ...

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 Chapter 323 Texas Tax Code, 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. At an election held in the City on Noverober 4, 2003, voters approved an additional one-quarter cent sales and use tax, with the proceeds to be dedicated to the reduction of ad valorem taxation, and an additional one-eighth cent sales and use tax under Section 4A of the Texas Development Corporation Act (Article 5190.6, Texas Revised Civil Statutes), to be used for economic development in the City. The City began to receive proceeds of these taxes in October 2004. Collections and enforcements of the City's sales tax are effected through the offices of the Comptroller of Public Accounts, State ofTexas, who remits the proceeds of the tax, to the City monthly, after deduction of a 2% service fee.

For additional iofonnation regarding accounting policies that are applicable to the City, see Note I. ''Summary of Significant Accollllting Policies~ in the financial statemenls of the City attached as Appendix B. General Fund Balance ... The City's objective is to maintain an unreserved/undesignated fund balance at a minimum of an amount equal to two months budgeted operating expenditures to meet unanticipated contingencies and fluctuations in revenue. The ·city's General Fund currently has an unreserved/uodesignated fund balance that is at 99% of the target established by the City's financial policies. 44 C C C C C C C C C C ) ) ) ) ) ) ) Water. Wastewater, Storm Water, Solid Waste and Airport Enterprise Fund Balances ... It is the policy of the City tO maintain appropriable net assets in the Water and Wastewater funds in an amount equal to 25% of operating revenues for unforeseen contingencies. The City's goal of appropriable net assets in the Solid Waste, Airport, and Stonn Water funds is an amount equal to 15% of regular operating revenues. With the exception of the Electric Enterprise Fund (as further described below). the City currently exceeds its policy on appropriable nel assets for its various enterprise funds. See HDiscussion of Recenl Financial and Management Evenls -September 30, 2003 Financial Results.fl According to audited numbers for FY 2005, the target net assets by policy and current appropriable net assets for the Water, Wastewater, Slorm Water and Airport enterprise funds are as follows: Enterprise Fund Target Net Assets Appropriable Net by Policy Assets• Water $9.5 million $13.7 million Wastewater $5.3 million $9. 2 million Storm Water $.9 million $11.3 million Solid Waste $2. I million $3.8 million Airport $.9 million $2.0 million Electric Enterprise Fund Balance ... II is the policy of LP&L to maintain appropriable net assets set by the City Charter. Ordinance No. 2004-00140 requires LP&L to restrict cash based on prior year's gross retail electric revenue (GRR) as determined by the previous fiscal year or LP&L. The City's goal of appropriable net assets LP&L is an amount equal lo iliree months GRR reserved for operations, two months GRR reserved for rate stabilization. and one month GRR reserved for electric utility development According to audited nwnbers for FY 2005, the total target net assets by ordinance and current appropriable net assets for LP&L is as follows: Enterprise Fund Target Net Assets Appropriable Net by Policy Assets• LP&L $53.3 million $24.6 million * Appropriable net assets are calculated on a budget basis. The calculation takes the audited FY 2004--05 current assets less current liabilities and adds/subtracts FY 2005--06 adjusted budgeted revenues over/under expenditures and adds restricted cash for debt service. Restricted cash for debt service is added to the calculation, as this is already included in the budge led expenditures for FY 2005-06. Enterprise Fund Revenues ... It is the policy of the City that each of the Electric, Water, Solid Waste and Sewer funds be operated in a manner that results in self sufficiemcy, without the need for additional monetary transfers from other funds (although the Electric Syslem received transfers from the General Fund during the FY 2003). Such self sufficiency is to be obtained through the rat.es, fees and charges of each of these enterprise funds. For pUipOses of determining self sufficiency, cost recovery for each enterprise fund includes direct operating and maintenance expense, as well as indirect cost recovery, in-lieu of transfers tO the General Fund for property and franchise tax payments, capital expenditures and debt service payments, where appropriate. Rate increases may be considered in future budgets as costs may warrant, including specifically the costs related t.o fuel charges that may affect LP&L and the cost of providing service. Debt Service Fund Balance ••. A reasonable debt service fund balance is maintained in order to compensate for unexpected contingencies. Budgetary Procedures ..• The City follows these procedures in establishing operating budgets: l) Prior to August I, the City Manager submits lo the City Council a proposed operating budget for the fiscal year commencing the following October 1. The operating budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them. 2) Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comments. 3) Prior to October I the bud.get is legally enacted through passage of an ordinance. 45 4) The City Manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts betweeu accounts below the department level Any b'ansfer of funds between departments or higher level are presented to the City Council for approval by ordinance before the funds are transferred or expended. 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. Fomial 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. 7) Appropriations for the General Fund lapse at year-end Unencumbered balances for the Capital Projects Funds continue as authority for subsequent period expenditures. 8) Budgetary comparison is presented for the General Fund in the combined financial statement section of the O:,mprehensive Annual Financial Report. The City has received the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award from the GFOA for the following budget years beginning October I. 1983-88 and 1990-05. Insurance and Risk Management ... The City is self-insured for public entity liability and health benefits coverage.

Airport liability insurance and wori.ers· compensation is insured under guaranteed cost policies. The Health Benefits are covered by a self insured program with a $18,845,756 cap and a $175,000 individual cap.

In fiscal year 2005, an actuarial study was conducted thal considered the types of insurance protection obtained by the City, the loss exposure and loss history, and cl~ being paid or reserved that are not covered by insurance. The 2005 actuarial review recommended thal the liabilities of the Risk Fund be increased to $6,479,000 from $6,437,000 to the minimum expected confidence level of the Government Accounting Standard Board Statement Number 10 ("GASB 1 O"), which requires maintenance of risk maoagemeot assets at a level representing at least a 50% confidence level that all liabilities, if presented for paymenl immediately, could be paid. The Risk Fund has net assets restricted for insurance claims of $1,688,000 over the recommended funding level. Given the risk net assets balance, the City exceeds the minimmn GASB 10 requirement The City invests its investab\e funds in investments authorized by Texas law in accordance with investment policies approved by the City Council oflhe City.

( C C ( ( f " ) ) ) ) "' .I ) ) ) ) TAXMATfERS TAX EXEMPTION In the opinion of Vinson & Elkins LLP., Bond Counsel, (i) interest on the Bonds is excludable from gross income for federal income tax pU1pOses under e,dsting law and (ii) interest oo the Bonds is not subject to the alternative minimwn tax on individuals and corporations, except as described below in the discussion regarding the adjusted current earnings adjustment for corporations. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), imposes a number of requirements that must be satisfied for interest on state or local obligations, such as the Bonds. to be e,c:cludabte from gross income for federal income tax purposes. These requirements include limitations on the use of bond proceeds and the source of repayment of bonds, limitations on the invesbnent of bond proceeds prior to expenditure, a requirement that excess aroitrage earned on the investment of bond proceeds be paid periodically to the United States and a requirement that the issuer file an infonnation report with the Internal Reven\lC Service. The Issuer has covenanted in the Ordinance that ii will comply with these requirements. Bond Counsel's opinion will assume continuing compliance with the covenants of the Ordinance pertaining to those sections of the Code that affect the exclusion from gross income of interest on the Bonds for federal income tax purposes and. in addition, will rely on representations by the Issuer, the Issuer's Financial Advisor and the Underwriter with respect to matters solely within the knowledge of the Issuer, the Issuer's Financial Advisor and the Underwriter, respectively, which Bond Counsel has not independently verified. Bond Counsel will further rely on the report of Grant Thornton LLP, certified public accountants, regarding the mathematical accuracy of certain computations. If the Issuer should fail to comply with the covenants in the Ordinance or if the foregoing representations or report should be determined to be inaccurate or incomplete, interest on the Bonds could become taxable from lhe date of delivery of the Bonds, regardless of the date on which the event causing such taxability occur... The Code also imposes a 20% alternative minimum tax on the "alternative minimum taxable incomen of a corporation if the amount of such alternative minimum tax is greater than the amount of the corporation's regular income tax. Generally, the alternative minimum taxable income of a coq,oration (other than any S corporation, regulated investment company, REIT, REMIC or FASIT), includes 75% of the amount by which its "adjusted current earnings" exceeds its other "alternative minimum taxable income." Because interest on tax e,c:empt obligations, such as the Bonds, is included in a corporation's "adjusted current earnings," ownmhip of the Bonds could subject a corporation to alternative minimum tax consequences. Except as stated above, Bond Counsel will express no opinion as to any federal, state or local tax consequences resulting from the receipt or accrual of interest on, or acquisition, ownership or disposition of, the Bonds. Bond Counsel's opinions are based on existing law, which is subject to change. Such opinions are further based on Bond Counsel's knowledge of facts as of the date thereof. Bond Counsel assumes oo duty to update or supplement its opinions to reflect any facts or circumstances that may thereafter come to Bond Counsel's attention or to reflect any changes in any law that may thereafter occur or become effective. Moreover, Bond Counsel's opinions are not a guarantee of result and are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service (the "Service"); rather, such opinions represent Bond Counsel's legal judgment based upon its review of existing law and in reliance upon the representations and covenants referenced above that it deems relevant to such opinions. The Service has an ongoing audit program to detennine compliance with rules that relate to whether interest on state or local obligations is includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes. No assurance can be given whether or not the Service will commence an audit of the Bonds. If an audit is commenced, in accordance with its current published procedures the Service is likely to treat the Issuer as the taxpayer and the Owners may not have a right to participate in such audit Public awareness of any future audit of the Bonds could adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Bonds during the pendency of the audit regardless of the ultimate outcome of the audit. ADDmONAL FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS · COLLATERAL TAX CONSEQUENCES ••• Prospective purchasers of the Bonds should be aware that the ownerahip of tax exempt obligations may result in collateral federal income tax consequences to financial institutions, life insurance and property and casualty insurance companies, certain S COipOrations with Subchapter C earnings and profits, individual recipients of Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits, taxpayers who may be deemed to have incurred or continued indebtedness to purchase or carry tax exempt obligations, taxpayers owning an interest in a FASIT that holds tax-exempt obligations and individuals otherwise qualifying for the earned income credit In addition, certain foreign coq,orations doing business in the United States may be subject to the "branch profits taxn on their effectively connected earnings and profits, including tax ex.empt interest such as interest on the Bonds. These categories of prospective purchasers should consult their own tax advisors as to the applicability of these consequences. Prospective purchasm of the Bonds should also be aware that, under the Code, taxpayers are required to report on their returns the amount ofta,c:-exernpt interest, such as interest on the Bonds, received or accrued during the year. 49 T .0:: ACCOUNTING TREAnu:NT OF ORIGINAL lssUE PREMIUM ... The issue price or all or a portion of the Bonds may exceed the stated redemption price payable at maturity of such Bonds. Such Bonds (the "Premium Bonds") are considered for federal income tax purposes to have "bond premium" equal to the amount of such excess. The basis of a Premium Bond in the hands of an initial owner is reduced by the amount of such excess that is amortized during the period such initial owner bolds such Premium Bond in determining gain or toss for federal income tax purposes. This reduction in basis will increase the amount or any gain or decrease the amount of any loss recognized for federal income tax purposes on the sale or other taxable disposition of a Premium Bond by the initial owner. No corresponding deduction is allowed for federal income tax purposes for the reduction in basis resulting from amortizable bond premium. The amollllt of bond premium on a Premium Bond that is amortizable each year (or shorter period in the event of a sale or disposition of a Premium Bond) is determined using the yield to maturity on the Premium Bond based on the initial offering price of such Bond. The federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and redemption, sale or other disposition of Premium Bonds that are not pun;:based in the initial offering at the initial offering price may be detennined according to roles that differ from those described above. All owners of Premium Bonds should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the detennination for federal, state, and local income tax purposes of amortized bond premium upon the redemption, sale or other disposition of a Premium Bond and with respect to the federal, state, local, and foreign tax consequences of the pun:base, ownership, and sale, redemption or other disposition of such Premiwn Bonds. TAX ACCOtJNTJNG TREATMENT OF ORJGCNAL ISSUE DISCOUNT BoNDS ... The issue price of all or a portion of the Bonds may be less than the stated redemption price payable at maturity of such Bonds (the "Original lssue Discount Bonds"). In such case, the difference between (i) the amount payable at the maturity of each Original Issue Discount Bond, and (ii) the initial offering price to the pubJic of such Original Issue Discount Bond constitutes original issue discount with respect to such Original Issue Discount Bond in the hands of any owner who has pllfCbased s11Ch Original Issue Discount Bond in the initial public offering of the Bonds. Generally, such initial owner is entitled to exclude from gross income (as defined in Section 61 of the Code) an amount of income with respect to such Original Issue Discount Bond equal to that portion of the amount of such original issue discount allocable to the period that such Original Issue Discount Bond continues to be owned by such owner. Because original issue discount is treated as interest for federal income tax purposes, the discussion regarding interest on the Bonds under the captions "Tax Exemption" and "Coll~ Tax Consequences" generally applies, and should be considered in connection with the discussion in this portion of the Official Statement. In the event of the redemption, sale or othet taxable disposition of such Original Issue Discount Bond prior to stated maturity, however, the amount reali7.ed by such owner in excess of the basis of such Original [ssue Discount Bond in the hands of such owner (adjusted upward by the portion of the original issue discount allocable to the period for which such Original Issue Discount Bond was held by such initial owner) is includable iD gross income. The foregoing discussion assumes that (a) the Underwriter bas purchased the Bonds for contemp0raneous sale to the public and (b) all of the Original Issue Discount Bonds have been initially offered, and a substantial amount of each maturity thereof has been sold, to the general public in arm's-length transactions for a price (and with no other consideration being included) not more than the initial offering prices thereof stated on the cover page of this Official Statemenl Neither the Issuer nor Bond Counsel has made any investigation or offers any comfort that the Original Issue Discount Bonds will be offered and sold in accordance with such asswnptions. Under existing law, the original issue discount on each Original Issue Discount Bond is accrued daily to the stated maturity thereof (in amounts calculated as described below for each six-month period ending on the date before the semiannual anniversary dates of the date of the Bonds and ratably within each such six-month period) and the accrued amount is added to an initial owner's basis for such Original Issue Discount Bond for purposes of detennining the amount of gain or loss recognized by such owner upon the redemption, sale or other disposition thereof. The amount to be added to basis for each accrual period is equal to (a) the sum of the issue price and the amount of original issue discount accrued in prior periods multiplied by the yield to stated maturity (detennined on the basis of compounding at the close of each accrual period and properly adjusted for the length of the accrual period) less (b) the amounts payable as current inten:st during such accrual period on such Bond. 1be federal income tax consequences of the pun:hase, ownership, and redemption. sale or other disposition of Original Issue Discount Bonds which are not purchased in the initial offering at the initial offering price may be determined according to rules which differ from those described above. Alt owners of Original Issue Discount Bonds should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the determination for federal, state, and local income tax purposes or interest accrued upon redemption, sale or other disposition of such Original Issue Discount Bonds and with respect to the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of the pun:hase, ownership, redemption, sale or other disposition of such Original Issue Discount Bonds. 50 ,. ... C C C C C C ,. I,, C ( ) ) ) ) ) OTHER INFORMATION RATINGS The presently outstanding tax supported debl of the City is rated "Al" by Moody's. "AA·" by S&P and "AA-" by Filch. The City also has issues outstanding which are rated "Aaa" by Moody's, "AAA" by S&P and "AAA" by Fitch through insurance by various commercial insurance companies. Applications for contract ratings on the Bonds have been made to Moody's. S&P and Fitch. An explanation of the significance of such ratings may be obtained from the company furnishing the raling. The ratings reflect only the respective views of such organizations and the City makes no representation as to the appropriat.eness 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 ming 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 Bonds. LmGATION The City is involved in various legal proceedings related to alleged personal and property damages, breach of contract and civil rights cases, some of which involve claims against the City that exceed $500,000. State law limits mwticipal liability for personal injury at $250,000/$500,000 and property damage at Sl00,000 per claim The following represents the significant litigation against the City at this time. · The City is also involved in a lawsuit with the City's firefighters regarding pay issues. The firefighters obtained a $688,000 judgment against the City for damages that accrued through July 2002. Damages have continued to accrue since July 2002. The City appealed this judgment, and the Court of Appeals overturned the judgmenL The plaintiffs have filed an appeal to the Texas Supreme Court. The Supreme Coun has not made a decision on whether to hear the appeal. While any liability would not be coverecj by an insurance policy, the City Attorney only assesses the potential that the firefighters will obtain relief from the Texas Supreme Court as possible. The City is also involved in a suit filed by the general contractor for a laxge drainage project in the City. In the suit, the contractor asserted damages in excess of $2.6 million under a breach of contract claim. The City obtained a summary judgment in this case against the contractor. The contractor appealed the decision to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals and oral argument was heard on March 7, 2006. While this liability is not covered by any insurance policy, the City Attorney only assesses the likelihood of recovery by the contractor as possible. The City has also been sued by a another contractor who was not awarded the bid on a different portion of the stonnwater drainage project. The contractor has alleged violations of the state bid statute and a violation of Section 1983. The plaintiffs took a nonsuit in state court and re-filed the case in federal court. The federal court has dismissed the contractor's Section 1983 claims, and the contractor has filed a Notice of Appeal The City Attorney assesses the likelihood of liability as possible. Potential damages are unknown. The City Attorney believes there is insurance coverage for lhe Section 1983 claim, although there is a dispute with the carrier regarding coverage. The City has been sued by sixty-two plaintiffs who allege that the City and/or Lubbock County failed to properly -=on! information in its cemetery -=ords that would show where their relatives were buried. The Plaintiffs' attorney indicates that he has about eighty other clients with similaf claims. The City will assert a defense under statutes of limitations, that the City was not the owner of the property during portions of the time in question, and/or that the allegations fail to state a claim upon which relief can be granted The City Attorney assesses the poteotial for liability as possible. There is no insurance coverage for these claims. The City intends to vigorously defend itself on all claims, although no assurance can be given that the City will prevail in all cases. However, the City Attorney and City management is of the view that its available sources for payment of any such claims, which include insurance policies and City reserves for self inslll'Cd claims, are adequate to pay any presently foreseeable damages (see .. Financial Policies -Insurance and Risk Management''). On the date of delivery of the Bonds to the Underwriter, the City will execute and deliver to the Underwriter a. certificate to the effect that, except as disclosed herein, no litigation of any nature has been filed or is pending, as of that date, to reslrain or enjoin the issuance or delivery of the Bonds or which would affect the provisions made for their payment or security or in any manner question the validity of the Bonds. 51 lb:GISrRA TION AND QUALIFICATION Of BONDS FOR SALE The sale of the Bonds has not been registered under the Federal Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance upon the exemption provided thereunder by Section J(a)(2); and the Bonds have not been qualified under the Securities Acl of Texas in reliance upon various exemptions contained therein; nor have the Bonds been qualified Wider the securities acts of any jurisdiction. The City assumes no responsibility for qualification of the Bonds under the securities laws of any jurisdiction in which the Bonds may be sold, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred. This disclaimer of responsibility for qualification for sale or other disposition of the Bonds shall not be construed as an interpretation of any kind with regard to the availability of any exemption from securities registration provisions. LEGAL INVESTMENTS AND ELIGIBILITY TO SIOCURE Ptl8LIC FUNDS IN T!EXAS Section 1201.041 of the Public Security Procedures Act (Chapter 1201, Tex.as Government Code) provides that the Bonds are negotiable inslruments governed by Chapter 8, Texas Business and Commerce Code, and are legal and authorized investments for insurance companies, fiduciaries, and trustees, and for the sinking funds of municipalities or other political subdivisions or public agencies of the State of Texas. With respect to investment in the Bonds by municipalities or other political subdivisions or public agencies of the State of Texas, the Public Funds Investment Act, Chapter 2256, Tex.as Government Code, requires that the Bonds be assigned a rating of "A" or its equivalent as to investment quality by a national rating agency. See ff-Other Information -Ratings" herein. In addition, various provisions of the Texas Finance Code provide that, subject to a prudent investor standard, the Bonds are legal investments for state banks, savings banks, trust companies with at capital of one million dollars or more, and savings and loan associations. The Bonds are eligible to secure deposits of any public funds of the State, its agencies, and its political subdivisions, and are legal security for those deposits to the extent of their market value. No review by the City has been made of the laws in other states to detennine whether the Bonds are legal investments for various institutions in those states.

COMPLIANCE Wl'l'H PRIOR UNDERTAKINGS .•. The City became obligated to file annual reports and financial statements with the state information depository ("SID") and each nationally recognized municipal securities information repository ("NRMSIR") in an offering that took place in 1997. All of the City's General Obligation debt reports and financial statements were timely filed with both the SID and each NRMSIR; however, due to an administrative oversight, the City filed its fiscal year end 1999, 2000, and 2001 Electric and Power Revenue debt reports late to the SID and each NRMSIR. The financial infonnation has since been filed, as well as a notice of late filing. The City has implemented procedures to ensure timely filing of all future financial infonnation. Under previous continuing disclosure agreements made in connection with LP&L revenue bonds, the City committed to make prompt filings with the SID and either each NRMSIR or the MSRB upon the occurrence of _any "non-payment related defaults." The City's FY 2003 audited financial statements were not available until mid-September 2004. Therefore, when the City made its annual disclosure filing with the SID and NRMSIRs in March 2004, it filed unaudited financial statements in accordance with its undertaking. Several references in that filing, including in the unaudited MD&A, in notes to those statements and in the statistical tables, reported that for FY 2003 LP&L had failed to meet its rate covenant (see "Discussion of Recent Financial and Management Events -September 30, 2003 Financial Results -The Electric Fundft). Because there was an uncertainty as to an amount by which the rate covenant would fail to be met, which was not finally determined until the audited financials were released in September 2004 (although the City had a reasonable belief prior to that time that the rate covenant had not been met), the City waited until September 2004 to make its event filing of non-compliance with its LP&L rate covenant.

Reference is made to the complete Report for further information. February 13, 2006 Honorable Mayor, City Council, and Citizens of the City of Lubbock, Texas: We are pleased to submit the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) of the City of Lubbock, Texas (City) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005. The pUipose of this report is to provide the City Council, citizens, representatives of financial institutions, and others with detailed information concerning the financial condition and performance of the City of Lubbock. In addition, the report provides assurance that the City presented fairly, in all material respects, its financial position as verified by independent auditors. This report consists of management's representations concerning the finances of the City. Consequently, management asswnes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of all of the information presented in this report. To provide a reasonable basis for making these representations, management of the City has established a comprehensive internal control framework that is designed both to protect the City's assets from loss, theft, or misuse and to compile sufficient reliable information for the preparation of the City's financial statements in confonnity with generally accepted accolDlting principles (GAAP). Because the cost of internal controls should not outweigh their benefits., the City's comprehensive framework of internal controls has been designed to provide reasonable. rather than absolute, assurance that the financial statements will be free from material misstatement. As management, we assert that, to the best of our knowledge and belief, this financial report is complete and reliable in all material respects. The City's financial statements have been audited by BKD, LLP, a firm of licensed certified public accountants. Toe goal of the independent audit was to provide reasonable assurance that the :financial statements of the City for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005, are free of material misstatement The independent audit involved examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements; assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management; and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. The independent auditor concluded, based upon the audit, that there was a reasonable basis for rendering an unqualified opinion that the City's financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005, are fairly presented in conformity with C ,. r ... ,. \,, C ( ( C C C C ) ) ) ) ) .... Honorable Mayor, City Counci~ And Citizens of the City of Lubbock, Texas February 13, 2006 GAAP. The independent auditor's report is presented as the first component of the financial section of this report. The independent audit of the financial statements of the City was part of a broader, federally mandated "Single Audit" designed to meet the special needs of federal grantor agencies. The standards governing Single Audit engagements require the independent auditor to report not only on the fair presentation of the financial statements, but also on the audited government's internal controls and compliance with legal requirements, with special emphasis on internal controls and legal requirements involving the administration of federal awards. These reports are available in the City's separately issued Single Audit Report. GAAP require that management provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements in the form of Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). This letter of transmittal is designed to complement MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The City's MD&A can be found immediately following the report of the independent auditors.

The City also provides utilities for electricity, water, wastewater, and storm water as well as a public transportation system. Public safety includes police protection and fire protection. Police protection is provided through the Police Departme~ which includes 359 sworn police officers. The City's Fire Department operates 15 fire stations and has 319 total personnel including administration, fire prevention, maintenance, training, and communications. Electric service in the City is provided by Lubboclc Power and Light (LP&L), Xcel Energy and South Plains Electric Cooperative. LP&L, the municipal electric company, has 66,172 meters in the City with an average daily consumption of 3,956,904 kwh. LP&L has 14 substations, 1005 mil~ of distribution lines, and 85 miles of transmission lines. Natural gas service is provided by Atmos Energy. Currently, the City obtains 75% to 85% of its drinking water supply from the Canadian River Municipal Water Authority (CRMWA). The CRMWA combines surface water from Lake Meredith and ground water from Roberts County to meet the water demands of Lubbock and the other 10 member cities of CRMW A. Lubbock secures the remaining 15% to 25% of its water from its groundwater rights in Bailey and Lamb Counties. The City provides water service to 75,700 meters as well as the City of Shallowater, City of Ransom Canyon, Buffalo Springs Lake, and Lubbock Reese Redevelopment Authority. The capacity of the City water transmission system is 81 million gallons per day with an average utilization of 39 million gallons per day. The City has 1,341 miles of distribution lines and 146 active water wells with 83,265 acres of water rights. The CRMW A allocates more than 11 billion gallons of water to the City annually. Lake Alan Henry, built by the City in 1993, is considered a third water supply for future use. In order for the City to utilize water from Lake Alan Henry, future construction is required for pump stations, a pipeline to carry the water to Lubbock, and a new treatment plant For the past several years, the City has been planning for future water needs. In March 2003, the City contracted with WaterTexas, Inc. to evaluate and make recommendations on how the City could optimize 'existing and potential water supplies on a short-~ mid-, and long-term basis. In a report titled City of Lubbock Strategic Water Pl~ WaterTexas reported that the City has adequate water supply and will continue to do so provided that it takes steps to address its maximum day capacity limitations; addresses its ability to respond readily to drought conditions at Lake Meredith; and strategically develops additional supplies giving due consideration to demand, co~ opportunity, and competing budgetary needs. To strategically develop additional water supplies, the City Council established the Lubbock Wat.er Advisory Commission in July 2003. The primary objective of this Commission is to assist in the development of a l 00-year water supply plan. The CRMWA has secured an additional 180,000 acres of groundwater rights in the Northern Panhandle. The total of groundwater rights now st.ands at over 220,000 acres with an estimated 15 million acre feet of water within those rights. Conservative projections using current secured water rights indicate the CRMW A member city water demands can be fully met through 2097. 3 C C C C ( C C . C ) J ' ) "I ., Honorable Mayor. City Council, And Citizens of the City of Lubbock, Texas February 13, 2006 Wastewater collection and treatment is provided within the city limits to residential, commercial, and industrial customers. The collection system consists of 940 miles of sanitary sewer as of January I. 2005. The wastewater treatment plant has a capacity of 31.5 million gallons per day (permitted capacity) and an average utiliz.ation of approximately 23 million gallons per day. The peak utili7.ation of the wastewater treatment plant is 27 million gallons per day. The City of Lubbock's drainage is primarily conveyed through the Citys street system that discharges into more than 115 playa lakes. The subsurface drainage, via storm sewer pipes with curb inlets, conveys water to two small intermittent streams (Blackwater Draw and Yellowhouse Draw) which both converge at the upper reaches of the North Fork of the Double Mountain Fork of the Brazos River. The City's municipal separate stonn sewer system (MS4) is made up of 1,076 linear miles of paved and unpaved streets, 530 linear miles of paved and unpaved alleys, 1,188 miles of storm sewer inlets, 70 miles of subsurface storm sewer pipe, three detention basins, 115 playa lakes, and one pump station. · Maintenance of all of the stonn sewers and street cleaning was funded from the Storm Water Fund during FY 2005. During FY 2005 the primary focus of the storm water fund was the construction of the South Lubbock Drainage Project-Phase I Main Trunk Line and the completion of the one mile portion of storm sewer between University Avenue and Indiana Avenue as part of the street widening project The design of the drainage channel north of Andrews Park Lake was also completed this fiscal year. Work was completed on the Maxey Park Feasibility Study and work began on a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Restudy of two of the playa lake systems. The other focus was on the sulnniwo_n of the Citys application for the Texas Pollution Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) MS4 permit for the City's storm water quality activities. Until the new permit is issued, the City will continue to comply with the existing MS4 permit from the Environmental Protection Agency.

Other major road construction in the City includes construction on 98th Street from Slide Road to Frankford Avenue and construction of the Marsha Sharp Freeway by the Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT). This freeway will run from West Loop 289 east to link up with Interstate 27. The first phase of the project is completed and included widening Loop 289 from folll' to six lanes from 34th street to Slide Road and rebuilding the frontage road system under the main lanes -three lanes on each side. It also included building the 50th Street overpass and extending 50"' Street to Frankford Avenue. TXDOT awarded the bid for the second phase of the Marsha Sharp Freeway that began construction in May 2005. The Marsha Sharp Freeway will benefit the City by providing a western connection to West Loop 289 enswing a more efficien1 flow of traffic throughout the City. It will also reduce the congestion on north/south and east/west major arterials and give faster access to all points in Lubbock, specifically Texas Tech University, the central business district, education centers, and medical facilities. The entire project is expected to cost $256 million and be completed sometime after 2010. One of the key components of the City's transportation system is the Lubbock Preston Smith International Airport, located 7 miles north of the City's central business district on 3,000 acres of land adjacent to Interstate 27. It is operated as a department of the City. The airport operates a 220~000 square foot passenger terminal and has three runways; 11,500' x 150'; 8,000' x 150\ 2869' x 75'. Air traffic control services include a 24-hour Federal Aviation Administration control tower and a full range of instrument approaches. The airport is currently served by three major passenger airlines and two major cargo airlines having over 80 commercial flights per day. 5 ,. '- C C C C ( ( C ( C ' ) Honorable Mayor, City Council, And Citizens of the City of Lubbock, Texas February 13, 2006 The City is :financially accountable for a legally separate civic services corporation and an economic development corporation, both of which are reported separately within the City's .financial statements as discretely presented component units. Additional information on these legally separate entities can be found in the notes to the financial statements. Annual Budget Process The annual budget serves as the foundation for the City's financial planning and control. All departments of the City are required to submit requests for appropriation to the City Manager in June of each year. The City Manager uses these requests as the starting point for developing a proposed budget The City Manager then presents this proposed budget to the City Council for review prior to August 31. The City Council is required to hold public h~ on the proposed budget and to adopt a final budget by no later than September 30. the close of the City's fiscal year. The appropriated budget is prepared by fund and department. Department directors may request transfers of appropriations within a department. Transfers of appropriations between funds, however, require the approval of the City Council. Budget-to-actual comparisons are provided in thls report for the General Fund, as part of the basic .financial statements. ECONOMIC CONDITION AND OUTLOOK The information presented in the financial statements is perhaps best understood when it is considered within the context of the City's local economy. The following information is provided to highlight a broad range of economic forces that support the City's operations. Local Economy The City has a stable economy that has historically shown slow, steady growth and it has continued that growth through October 2005. The City's economy is agriculturally based but has diversified over the past 20 years which minimizes the affects of business cycles experienced by individual sectors. The South Plains is one of the United States' most productive agricultural areas. Almost eighteen percent of the nation's cotton crop and fifty-one percent of the state's cotton crop is planted by farmers in the Sou.th Plains. Production on the Southern High Plains is estimated to total 4.1 million bales for 2005, up fourteen percent from last year• s production. The City has strong manufacturing, wholesale and retail trade, services, and government sectors. The manufacturers are a diverse group of employers who support approximately 5,400 workers. A central location and access to transportation have contributed to the City's development as a regional warehousing and distribution center. The City also serves as the major retail trade center and health-care provider for a region of more than a half a million people. A breakdown of the percent of employment base by industry category has been provided below, which gives a. '~snapshot" of the industry base of the City. 6 Honorable Mayor, City Council, And Citizens of the City of Lubbock., Texas Februacy 13, 2006 !PERCENT EMPLOYMENT BASE BY INDUSTRY CATEGORYI Tr;insp, Wan!housing & Ulillie$ Manufacu,nng 4.3% Natural Resoo:,;es, Mining & Construction 4.S'!. 2.9% Financial Activkies 5.6% Professional & Business Services 8.7% Educaijonal & Heahh Services 14.6% Two major components of the local economy are education and health care services. Lubbock is home to three universities and one community college; Texas Tech University, Lubbock Christian University, Wayland Baptist University -Lubbock Center and South Plains College. Enrollment increased steadily through. Fall 2003, but because of increased tuition costs decreased slightly in Fall 2004 and 2005. The availability of the schools in Lubbock is an added advantage for our industries as they provide a ready source of labor for their successful operation. The healthcare and social services sector is also a vital component of the Lubbock economy. This sector employs almost 18.000 people, whose payroll of ahnost $580 million and related contributions provide a substantial impact to the Lubbock area. (Source: 2003 County Business Patterns) Other current and trend information has been provided below, which gives a picture of the overall city economy. Lubbock Economic Index. Toe Lubbock Economic Index is designed to represent the general condition of the Lubbock economy by tracking local economic growth rates. It is based at 100.0 in January 1996. The economic index for October 2005 was 124.6, which is .4% improved over the index for October 2004. . The Lubbock economy continues to be "high. but flat'', with most sectors posting solid numbers, but with little growth sector by sector, or in the overall Lubbock economy.

The Lubbock MSA also changed in 2005 to include both Lubbock and Crosby Counties. Economic Development Economic development is a priority for the City of Lubbock. In 1995, the City Council created Market Lubbock, Inc .• a non-profit corporation, to oversee economic development for the City. Market Lubbock, Inc. is funded with 3 cents of the property tax allocation. In October 2004 the Lubbock Economic Development Alliance (LEDA). an economic development sales tax corporation, assumed the responsibility for economic development in the City of Lubbock. LEDA program strategies include business retention. business recruitment, workforce development. foreign trade zone, and the bioscience initiative. LEDA is funded by a 1/8 cent economic development sales tax. Total estimated revenues for LEDA for FY 2005-06 are 3,487,455. Over the last year, through their business retention, expansion, and attraction programs, LEDA assisted eleven companies in the creation of 355 new jobs with an estimated annual payroll of$12.4 million and capital investment of $52.5 million. The City's Business Development Department works closely with LEDA to provide the support needed to assist in their economic development projects. Business Development is responsible for tracking and maintaining economic and demographic information for the City, assisting with city-related business issues, the enterprise zone and tax abatement programs, the two Tax Increment Financing Reinvestment Zones, and all Public Improvement Districts. Business Development also works with retail and commercial projects that do not fit the criteria required by the state for economic development sales tax corporations. 10 Honorable Mayor, City Council, And Citizens of the City of Lubbock, Texas February 13, 2006 Development Initiatives Overton Park. Overton Park is a 300+-acre revitalization project that is underway in the heart of the City. It has been called the largest privately funded revitalization project in the United States. Overton Park is the complete revitalization of a blighted area in the City called North Overton. Toe North Overton area was established in 1907 and over the next twenty years developed as a middle class neighborhood, with home ownership predominating. Then, in 1925, Texas Tech University (Texas Technological College) was established along 1he western boundary of the neighborhood. Following World War II, the growth of Texas Tech University stimulated a need for student housing. This need was provided by many non-ronforming aparbnents, converted garages, and subdivided. houses, reducing home ownership in the area considerably. Continued growth of Texas Tech encouraged development of apartment buildings, further destroying the stability of the area. By the 1980s, the Lubbock City Council recognized that the passage of time, market trends, and land use changes had created severe pressures on North Overton. Through the 1990s, the situation in North Overton continued to stagnate. Population was declining, vacancies were high, owner occupancy was only 7.3% of the properties compared to 51.5% in the City as a whole. Crime was high in the area and many properties in the area were in poor condition, abandoned vehicles and weeds were prevalent, and there was little to attract residents to this neighborhood other than extremely low values and rents. A local developer approached the City to discuss plans to redevelop the North Overton area. The developer planned to purchase and redevelop about 90% of the North Overton area. The developer and other property owners submitted a petition to the City and asked that the City establish a Tax Increment Financing Reinvestment Zone {fIRZ) to provide the public funds for constmcting public improvements in the proposed district In response, the City created the North Overton TIRZ with participation from the City, County, High Plains Underground Water District and Lubbock County Hospital District. This public/private partnership provides for a significantly enhanced redevelopment of the North Overton area by using public funds for upgraded intersections, additional right-of-way landscaping. improved street lighting, park improvements, and street and utilities replacement and reconstruction. These infrastructure projects are designed to replace 70-year old utilities, provide new street lighting and signali:zation, upgrade existing Pioneer Park; and provide for enhanced. right-of~way landscaping, wider sidewalks, and street :furniture. The plans called for street closures to allow for larger development projects, student housing, a variety of well-planned housing developments, retail to support the neighborhood and the Tech student population, and for the entire development to be pedestrian oriented. The City has approved site design guidelines for the development in Overton Park in order to ensure the high quality of this development project. It is anticipated that build-out of this public/private partnership will occur over a seven-year period. It is expected that the North Overton TIRZ planned expenditure of approximately $72. 7 million for public infrastructure improvements will result in future development/redevelopment in the North Overton TIRZ, which will increase the taxable value by approximately $445 million over the zone's 30-year life. ll ,. ... < C C: C < ( t C "\ ..., ) ) ) ) ) Honorable Mayor, City Council, And Citizens of the City of Lubbock, Texas February 13, 2006 At this time, three student-oriented apartment complexes have been completed. The Centre, a $26 million, 618,000 square foot project that includes the construction of a multi-story apartment complex built over an upscale retail shopping center and more than 226,000 square feet of parking, is completed. City Bank has also completed their new 10,000 square foot bank facility. The new Starbucks has also been completed. Walmart has broken ground on their new 200,000 square foot plus store that will be built near the southwest comer of 4lh Street and Avenue Q. Also in 2005, construction began on the condominiums in Overton Park and it is expected that ground will be broken on the first single-family houses in early 2006. The project, as a whole, is running about three years ahead of schedule, with much of the construction now expected to be completed by the end of 2007 . Central Lubbock Stabilization and Revitalization Master Plan The Central Lubbock Stabilization and Revitaliz.ation Master Plan is a comprehensive guide for future growth and prosperity for the Central Lubbock Area The plan was develope.d with the assistance of Gould Evans Affiliates through a public process bringing together local residents, local employers, city smff: and major stakeholders. This plan is intended to provide a framework for future development in Central Lubbock and to be a "living document'' evolving to address any unforeseen future concerns or strategies. As a result of the plan, the 34th Street Business Association, made up of business owners on 34th Street, was formed in 200S. North & East Lubbock Community Development Corporation During the last 50 years, while Lubbock grew, North and East Lubbock experienced an out- migration of people. From 1960 to 2000, the area's population decreased by 47%. Concluding that portions of northern and east.em Lubbock were in serious disrepair, the City and the North & East Lubbock Development Advisory Committee decided to take action. A comprehensive master plan for the area was completed in October 2004. The City created the North & East Lubbock Community Development Corporation (CDC) to oversee and promote development in the area and committed to providing funding to the CDC for four years. The North & East Lubbock CDC is working on its first project, a new single-family housing project called Kings Dominion. Construction of the first houses should begin in early 2006. Central Business District Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone The City of Lubbock Central Business District (CBD) has been typically developed over the years with office, retail, and governmental agency uses. Like many cities in the last ten to twenty years, retail has moved to shopping areas and other areas outside the CBD and office development bas stagnated. In an effort to reverse that trend and to stimulate further development downtown, the City established a new CBD Tax Increment Finance Reinvestment Zone (TIRZ) on December 3, 2001. The Board of the CBD TIRZ created a project plan that includes projects that will assist redevelopment in the CBD. It is expected that the CBD TIRZ planned expenditure of almost $8.4 million for public infrastructure improvements will result in future development and redevelopment in the CBD TIRZ which will increase the taxable value by approximately $106 million over the zone>s 20-year life. 12 Honorable Mayor, City Cotmcil, And Citizens of the City of Lubbock, Texas February 13, 2006 Downtown Redevelopment Commission The City Council created the Downtown Redevelopment Commission in May 2005 to develop an action plan for the redevelopment of the downtown area The Commission is composed of eleven members that are citizens of Lubbock and stakeholders in the downtown area. Since its creation in May, the Commission members have been working on gathering information on what is available and what is needed in the downtown area. Although there were no fiscal activities during FY 2005, the Commission members have started their fimd raising efforts and have begun the process of searching for a consultant to prepare a Downtown Master Plan. FINANCIAL INFORMATION Long-term financial planning. The City uses 10-year rate models for long-range planning in the General Fund and all enterprise fimds. These models are based on current projects and policies. The models are driven by the idea that the rate should be annually adjusted to reflect the service needs of the citizens. Because of this philosophy, the rates in the models are annually trimmed to leave as little excess as possibl~ after allowing for financially sound working capital and rate stabilization reserves. The models, in association with the City's "5-year Forecast", provide anticipated trends given current policies. These forward looking models provide a basis for budget discussion and policy decision-making. During fiscal year 2003 the City formed the Citizens Advisory Committee to survey City-wide infrastructure needs and priorities. The committee developed a six-year program for future capital needs for which general obligation bonds have been or will be issued. The bond issuance was approved by the citizens of Lubbock in a bond election held in May 2004. Cash management policies and practices. Cash temporarily idle during the year was invested in certificates of deposit, obligations of the U.S. Treasmy, U.S. Agencies, money market qiutual funds, and state investment pools. The matwities of the investments range from 1 day to 3-1/2 yea.rs, with an average maturity of approximately 7~1/2 months. The average yield on investments was 2.68 percent for the City's operating funds and 2. 71 percent for the City's bond fimds. In:vestment income is offset by decreases in the fair value of investments. Decreases in fair value during the cunent year, however, do not necessarily represent trends that will continue; nor is it always possible to realiz.e such amounts, especially in the case of temporary changes in the fair value of investments that the City intends to hold to maturity. Risk management During 2005, the City continued its use of third party workers1 compensation coverage. The current coverage provides for coverage to begin with the initial dollar of claims. The City is primarily self-insured for medical and dental coverage. Stop loss coverage of $150,000, per insured per year, is currently maintained with a third party insurer to mitigate risk associated with medical coverage. Additional information on the City's risk management activities can be found in the notes to the financial statements. Pension benefits. The City sponsors a multiple-employer hybrid defined benefit pension plan for its employees other than firefighters. Each year, an independent actuary engaged by the plan calculates the amount of the annual contribution that the City must make to the plan to ensure that the plan will 13 C C ( C C C ) ) -, ) ) Honorable Mayor, City Council, And Citizens of the City of Lubbock, Texas February 13, 2006 be able to fully meet its obligations to retired employees on a timely basis. As a matter of policy, the City fully funds each year's annual required contribution to the pension plan as determined by the actuary. As a result of the City's conservative funding policy, the City has succeeded as of December 31, 2004, in funding 75 percent of the present value of the projected benefits earned by employees. The remaining unfunded amount is being systematically funded over 25 years as part of the annual required contribution calculated by the actuary. The City also provides benefits for its firefighters. These benefits are provided through a single- employer defined benefit pension plan, the Lubbock Firemen's Relief and Retirement Fund (LFRRF), which is administered by the Board of Trustees of the LFRRF. The City contributes an amount that is determined by formula and is anticipated: to average 19.9 percent of firefighter's pay annually. The City does provide 25% -60% of post retirement health and dental care benefits for retirees or their dependents. Additional information on the City's pension arrangements and post employment benefits can be found in the notes to the financial statements. AWARDS AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of Lubbock, Texas, for its comprehensive annual financial report for the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2004.

Of this total amount, $42.0 million is available for spending at the City's discretion. • The City's proprietary funds net assets decreased by $2.4 million from $432.1 million to $429.7 million. • During FY 2005, the City issued $75.3 million in debt for various capital projects and issued $112.2 million in debt t.o refund $114.0 million in outstanding debt. • In 2002, the City entered into an interest rate swap agreement t.o protect against the risk of rising interest rates between March 28, 2002 and May 1, 2005. On August IS, 2005, the City of Lubbock chose to terminate the swap and issue bonds in the amount of $43.1 million to retire $43.8 million bonds. The combined refunding and swap tennination agreement resulted in an economic bn:ak-even transaction with negligible present value savings; yet the swap termination and related expenses resulted in an acco1D1ting loss of $6.6 million. This is recorded as a special item in the Water Enterprise Fund financial statements. Overview of the Financial Statements Basic Financ:ial Statements. Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) is intended to serve as an introduction to the City's BFS. The BFS are comprised of three components: 1) Government- Wide Financial Statements (GWFS), 2) Fund Financial Statements (FFS), and 3) Notes to Basic Financial Statements (Notes). This CAFR also contains other supplementary information in addition to theBFS. 19 City of Lubbock, Texas Management's Discussion and Analysis For the Year Ended September 30, 2005 Government-Wide Financial Statemenu. The GWFS, shown on pages 35.37 of this report, contain the statement of net assets and the stalernent of activities. described below: The staJement of net asseJs presents information on all of the City's assets and liabilities (including capital assets and short-and long-term liabilities), with the difference between the two reported as net assets using the accrual basis. Over time, increases or decreases in net assets serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City is improving or deteriorating. The statemenJ of activities presents a comparison between direct expenses and program revenues for each of the City's functions or programs (referred to as "activities''). Direct expenses are those that are specifically associated with an activity and are therefore clearly identifiable with that activity. Program revenues include charges paid by the recipfont of the goods or services offered by the program. in addition to grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular activity. Revenues that are not directly related to a specific activity are presented as general revenues. The comparison of direct expenses with revenues from activities identifies the extent to which each activity is self.financing, or alternatively, draws from any City generated general revenues. The governmental activities (activities that are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues) of the City include administration of community services, electric (street lighting), financial services, fire, general government, human resources, police, streets. and public works. The business-type activities (activities intended to recover all of their costs through user fees and charges) of the City include Electric (LP&L), Water, Sewer, Solid Waste, Stormwater, Transit, and Airport. All changes in net assets are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs (accrual basis), regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods, such as uncollected taxes and earned but unused vacation leave. Component Units. The GWFS include not only the City itself (the "primary government''). but also three legally separate entities (the "component units); Market Lubbock Economic Development Corporation, dlb/a Market Lubbock, Inc., Lubbock Economic Development Alliance, and Civic Lubbock, Inc., for which the City is financially accountable. These entities provide economic development services and arts and cultural activities for the City. Financial information for these component units is reported separately in the GWFS in order to differentiate them from the City•s financial information. None of these component units are oonsidered major component units. Fund Financial Statements. A.fund is defined as a fiscal and accounting entity with a self- balancing set of accounts recording cash and other financial resomces, together with all related liabilities and residual equities or balances, and changes therein, which are segregated for the purpose of carrying on specific activities or attaining certain objectives in accordance with special regulations, restrictions, or limitations. The principal role of funds in the new financial reporting model is to demonstrate fiscal accountability. The City, as with other st.ate and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. 20 C C C C r .. I" \. C C C .., ) ) ) ) ) ) City of Lubbock, Texas Management's Discussion and Analysis For-the Year Ended September 30, 2005 The focus of the FFS is on major funds. Major funds are those th.at meet minimum criteria (a percentage of assets, liabilities, revenue, or expenditures/expenses of fund category and of the governmental and ent.erprise funds combined), or those that the City chooses to report as major funds given their qualitative significance. Nonmajor funds are aggregated and shown in a single column in the appropriate financial statements. Combining schedules of nonmajor funds are included in the CAFR following the BFS. All of the funds of the City can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary fonds. and fiduciary fonds. Governmental FFS. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the GWFS. However, tmlike the GWFS, governmental FFS focus on near-tenn inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the City's fiscal year. Such information is useful in evaluating the City's near-term financing requirements. Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the GWFS (modified accrual versus accrual basis of accounting, and current financial resources versus economic resources), it is useful to compare the infonnation presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the GWFS. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the near-term financing decisions. Reconciliations are provided for both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances to facilitate the comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities. The City maintains 29 individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances for the General Fund only. The General Fund is considered to be a major fund. Data from the other governmental funds are combined into a single aggregated presentation. The City adopts a budget annually for the General Fund and al) other funds. A budgetary comparison statement has been provided for the General Fund to demonstrate compliance with this budget It is presented in the FPS following the statement of changes in revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances. The governmental FFS can be found on pages 38-41 of this report Proprietary FFS. The City maintains two different types of proprietary funds. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the GWFS. Ent.erprise FPS provide the same type of information as the GWFS, only in more detail. The City uses enterprise funds to account for its Electric (LP&L), Water, Sewer, West Texas Municipal Power Agency (WfMPA), Stonnwater, Transit, Solid Waste, and Airport activities, of which the first five activities are considered to be major funds by the City and are presented separately. The latter three activities are considered nonmajor funds by the City and are combined into a single aggregated presentation. Internal service funds are an accounting device used to accumulate and allocat.e costs internally among the City's various functions. The City uses internal service funds to account for its fleet of vehicles, management information systems. risk management, print shop. and central warehouse activities among others. The services provided by the internal service funds benefit both governmental and business-type activities, and accordingly, they have been included within governmental activities and business-type activities, as appropriate, in 21 City of Lubbock, Texas Management's Discussion and Analysis For the Year Ended September 30, 2005 the GWFS. All internal service funds are combined into a single aggregated presentation in the proprietary FFS. Reconciliations are provided for both the proprietary fund statement of net assets and the proprietary fund statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in fund net assets to facilitate 1he comparison between enterprise funds and business-type activities. The proprietary FFS can be found on pages 44.55 of this report. Y-ulMciary FFS. Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the government Fiduciary funds are not reflected in 1he GWFS because the resources of those funds are not available to support the City's own programs. The City presents an agency fund as its only fiduciary fund in the FFS. The fiduciary FFS can be found on page 56 of this report. Notes to Basic Financial Statements. The Notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the GWFS and FFS. The Notes can be found on pages 57-93 of this report. Required Supplementary Information Other Thau MD&A. The City bas presented required supplementary infonnation relating to its progress in funding its ob1igation to provide pension benefits to its employees in the Notes to the BFS. Government-Wide Financial Analysis As noted earlier, net assets serve as a useful indicator of the City's financial position. For the City, assets exceeded liabilities by $545.S million (net assets) at the close of the fiscal yeax. This compared to assets exceeding liabilities by $546.7 million (Mt assets) at the end of the prior fiscal year. As a result of operations, total net ass«s decreased by $1.2 million during the period. By far the largest portion of the City's net assets, 81. 7%, reflect its investment in capital assets, e.g., land, buildings, infrastructure, machinery, and equipment. less any related debt used to acquire those assets that is still outstanding at the close of the fiscal year. The City uses these capita) assets to provide services to citimns; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the City's investment in capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities. 22 C C C C C C C C C .... .I ) ) ) ) ) City of Lubbock, Texas Management's Discussion and Analysis For the Year Ended September 30, 2005 City of Lubbock Net Aaets Sq,lmabe.-30 (inOOO's) Gavemmadal Business-Type Amrities Adivmes Tomi 1005 1.00C 2005 2004 2005 2004 Currad and other assets $ 116,021 $ 100.489 $ 170.945 $ 177,959 $ 286,966 $ 278.,448 Capilalimets 13!&614 129,014 6371444 611,703 776,058 740,717 Tolalassds 254,635 2291503 808,389 789,662 1,063,0'14 110191165 Oirrent l.iabilities 16,837 48,739 2S,50S 44,156 42,342 92,895 Noncum:nt liabilities 127,169 76,423 348,036 303,173 47S~ 379,596 Tolal liabilities 144,006 125,162 373,541 347~29 517,547 472,491 Net~ Invested in capital assets, net of mated debt 82,330 74,433 363,227 355,816 445.551 430,249 Restricted 8.770 20,339 ~6 45,417 35,046 65,756 lktremickld 19,529 9,569 45,345 41,190 64,,874 501159 Totalnetime:ts $ 1l0,629 $ 104,.341 S 434,848 $ 442,42.3 $ 545,477 $ 5461764 An additional portion of the City's net assets, 10%, represents resources that are subject to external restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of unrestricted net assets of $64.9 million may be used to meet the City's ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors. The City also reports positive balances in all three categories of net assets for the City as a whole, as well as for its separate governmental activities, and business-type activities. Toe City's governmental activities experienced an increase in net assets of $6.3 million, while net assets increased by $2. 7 million during the prior fiscal year. This increase is primarily a result of strong growth in new construction and better than anticipated sales tax revenues coupled with a concentrated effort by City management to contain expenditures. This is the third year in a row that the City Council bas been able to cut property tax rates while streamlining City operations. The City's business-type activities experienced a decrease in net assets of $7 .6 million during the current fiscal year as compared to a decrease of $5.3 million during the prior fiscal year. This <birease in net assets resulted primarily from the $6.6 million accounting loss recorded in the Water Fund for the bond refunding and associated swap termination fee. This transaction generated negligible present value savings. Changes in Net .As..ets.

Governmental activities increased the City's net assets by nearly $6.3 million. Key elements of the increase follow: • Transfers to/from business-type activities during the fiscal year increased governmental activities net assets by $15.4 million.. Dming the prior fiscal year these transfers increased governmental activities net assets by approximately $9.7 million. This is a net increase of $5.7 million in resources to governmental activities, which is the primary factor for the increase in net assets. Transfers from the business-type activities included payments in lieu of taxes, franchise fees, and indirect costs of operations for centralized services such as payroll and purchasing. • Total expenses increased by nearly $13.S million from the prior year due primanly to increased spending in severaJ of the functional categories including gener.al government $7 million, police $4.S million, and fire $1.7 million. The general government increase was due to the creation of the voter approved Lubbock Economic Development Alliance (LEDA) and the corresponding $35 million sales tax payment plus increased spending in the hotel motel fund to promote- tourism and the start up operations for new special revenue funds: $.7 million for Municipal Court Fund. Donations Fwd, North Overton Public hnprovement District. and Abandoned Motor Vehicle Fund. The increase in public safety spending of $6.3 million is a result of the City Council's continued commitment to increased public safety. • Revenues increased by approximately $11.4 million. The key factors impacting this increase include a voter approved increase in sales taxes of $11.2 million, which corresponds to the voter approved decrease in property tax of $4. 7 million. Also contn'"buting is increases in franchise fees of$ 1.5 nn1lion due to growth and implementation of the 5% franchise fee. 25 ,;;-c:, C, e. 0 " < City of Lubbock, Texas Management's Discussion and Analysis For the Year Ended September 30, 2005 This graph depicts the expenses and program revenues generated through the City•s various governmental activities. $35,000 $30,000 $25,000 $20,000 $15,000 $10,000 $5,000 so Expenses and Program Revenues -Governmental Activities 26 ~ \ \ \ C C C C C C C C ) ) ) ) ) City of Lubbock, Texas Management's Discussion and Analysis For the Year Ended September 30, 2005 The following graph reflects the source of the revenue and the percentage each soun:e represents of the total.

Property Taxes 31.4¾ Business-type activities. Business-type activities decreased the City's net assets by $7.6 million as a result of operations. Key elements of this increase follow: • Charges for services for business-type activities increased by $91.5 million. During the current fiscal year the Lubbock Power and Light (LP&L) and West Texas Municipal Power Agency (WTMPA) began selling natural gas (gas swap sal~) to a third party which brought in revenues of $65.2 million. Revenues were also up slightly in all of the City's other enterprise funds. Because of the inter-fund activity between LP&L and WTMPA, approximately one third of the revenue was eliminated for the entity wide statements. • Operating grants, capital grants, and contnbutions continue to be a significant revenue source for LP&L. Airport, Water, and Sewer Ftmds during the current fiscal year, producing nearly $13.4 million in revenue. This is a slight decrease in prior fiscal year's support of $16.0 million. These 27 City of Lubbock, Texas Management's Discussion and Analysis For the Year Ended September 30, 2005 contributions came primarily from federal grants and from water and sewer lines and taps that were funded by property owners. • Expenses increased in total by $81.0 million over the prior fiscal year. This increase is primarily due to the cost of fuel for the new gas swap sales contract of $62. l million and the increased cost of operations for electric operations. Increases in the nation •s fuel and energy costs have also affected both LP&L 'sand WTMPA's cost of power. The following graph reflects the revenue sources generated by the business-type activities. As noted earlier, these activities include LP&L, Water, Sewer, Solid Waste, Transit, WTMPA, Airport, and Stormwater Drainage.

The focus of the City's governmental funds is to provide infonnation on near- term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City's financing requirements. In particular, wu-eserved fund balance serves as a useful measure of the City's resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year. 28 C C C C C C C C C ) ) ) ) ) ) City of Lubbock, Texas Management's Discussion and Analysis For the Year Ended September 30, 2005 At the end of the fiscal year. the City's governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of$85.2 million. This compared to $47.7 million at the end of the prior fiscal year. This increase is primarily the result of debt issuance for capital projects including the Gateway Streets projects, parks projects, tax increment financing projects, and street projects. This resulted in an increase of ftmd balance of $37.9 million. Also affecting this increase was the result of operations of the Geneml Fund where fimd balance increased by $4.7 million. Of the ending governmental fund balance, $25.9 million or 30.4%, constituted unreserved fund balance which is available for spending at the City's discretion. This compared to $13.8 million or 28.9% at the end of the prior fiscal year. The remainder of the fimd balance is reserved to indicate it has already been committed to, 1) pay debt service, 2) use in construction of approved capital projects, or 3) is restricted for other purposes. The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the City. At the end of the fiscal year, umeserved fund balance in the General Fund was approximately $17.3 million compared to $12.1 million in the previous fiscal year, representing an increase of approximately $5. l million. Total fund balance (reserved and unreserved) approximated $17 .4 million at the end of the fiscal year compared to $12. 7 million at the end of the prior fiscal year. As a measure oftbe General Fund's liquidity, it is useful to compare both unreserved fund balance and total :fund balance to total fund expenditures. Unreserved fund balance represented 17.4% of total General Fund expenditures compared to 13.4% of total General Fund expenditures in the prior year. Total fund balance represented 17.5% of total General Fund expenditures compared to 14.1% in the prior year. The increase in fimd balance is primarily a result of strong growth in new construction and better than anticipated sales tax revenues. coupled with a concentrated effort by City management to contain expenditures. It a1so has a transfer from dw Risk Management Fund Proprietary funds. The City's proprietary funds provide essentially the same type of information found in the GWFS, but in more detail. Unrestricted net assets of the major proprietary ftmds at the end of September 30 are shown next with amounts presented in OOOs: 2005 Elearic Fund $ 14,151 Water Fund 6,818 SewerFuod 5,964 WI"MPA 1,314 Stomtwater 7,420 $ 35,667 $ $ 2004 7,006 14,078 6,343 1,743 1.305 30,475 The LP&L Fund increased 1.mrestrfoted net assets by $7.1 million compared to an increase of $4.6 million during the prior year. This is mainly due to the results of operations, a restructuring of the capital funding method for existing projects, and a decision by City Council not to charge for payments in lieu of taxes and franchise fees until adequate cash reserves are established. 29 City of Lubbock, Texas Management's Discussion and Analysis For the Year Ended Sep~mber 30, 2005 The Water Fund reflected a cWTent year decrease in unrestricted net assets of nearly $7.3 million compared to a decrease of $1.5 million during the prior year. This is due primarily to the accounting loss for the termination of an interest rate swap payment of $6.6 million and a scheduled increase in interest payments of nearly $1 miJlion. This was offset by increases in water sales due in part to a raise of approximately 3% in water rates. The Sewer Fund reflected a current year decrease in unreslricted net assets of approximately $.3 million compared to a $2.1 miJlion increase during the prior year. Changes to debt covenant requirements and changed methods of capital funding contributed to the change. The WfMPA Fund reflected a decrease in unrestricted net assets of nearly $.4 million primarily as a result of operations. The prior fiscal year's change was an increase in unrestricted net assets of $.4 million. The Stonnwater Fund experienced an increase in unrestricted net assets of $6.1 million during the fiscal year compared to a $.4 million increase in the prior fiscal year. The increase is a result of changed methods for capital funding. General Fund Budgetary BJghlights Differences between the original budget and the final amended budget were approximately $3.6 million in increases to expenditures. The main reason for the increase was for the street seal coating program, which was moved from a Capital Project Fund to the General Fund. The General Fund ended the fiscal year with expenditures more than $3.6 million more than budgeted. This mainly resulted from the implementation of a master lease program for obtaining vehicles and equipment as adopted by the City Council. The annual operating lease payments are budgeted; however, the lease proceeds and related capital expenditures are not budgeted items. This was a result of budgeting for the total amo1D1t of lease payments which is a true cash outflow instead of budgeting for the full cost of the vehicles leased which is required by generally accepted accounting principals (GAAP). Due to stronger than anticipated growth in new construction and better than expected sales tax revenue, actual reven~ were nearly $2.1 million more than budgeted for the fiscal year. Capital Assets and Debt Administration Capital assets. The City's investment in capital assets for its governmental and business-type activities at September 30, 2005 amounted to $776.1 million, net of accumulated depreciation. This was a $3S.4 million increase over the prior fiscal year,s balance of $740.7 million, net of accumulated depn:ciation. This investment in capital assets includes land, buildings and improvements, equipment, construction in progress, and infrastructure. 30 C ' C C C C C C C C ) ) ) City of Lubbock, Texas Management's Disc11SSion and Analysis For the Year Ended September 30, 2005 Major capital asset events during the fiscal year included the following: • Wodc continued. in the Water-Fund with another $3.1 million expended on the construction of water lines and $1.8 million on sewer lines ahead of the Marsha Sharp Freeway. • A large street project began with the construction of a T-2 thoroughfare street with $6.S million expended on Milwaukee Avenue from 34th Street to 98th Street. This project is in the Gateway Streets Fund which was established. in FY 2004-05. The fund is supported by 2% of the 5% franchise fees. • Scheduled improvements to LP&L's distribution infrastructure amowrt to $2.8 million.

The City operates under a Home Rule Charter that limits the maximum tax rate for all City purposes to $2.50 per $100 of assessed valuation. The Attorney General of the State of Texas permits an allocation of$l.50 of the $2.50 maximwn tax rate for general obligation bonds debt service. The current interest and sinking fund tax rate per $100 of assessed valuation is $0.09496, which is significamly below the maximum allowable tax rate. As of September 30, 2005, the City's total outstmdiDg debt has increased by $50.7 million or 13.3% over the prior fiscal year. The increase in outstanding debt is attributed to the issuance of $187 5 million in debt, offset by the payment of scheduled debt service t.otaling $22.4 million and a reduction in outstanding debt of $114.3 million as a result of refunding existing obligations. During the fiscal year, the City issued the following bonds and certificates: • $7 .3 million of General Obligation Bonds, Series 2005 were issued to fund the current capital improvements plan. This issuance was the second installment of the $30 million capital improvement debt issuance approved by voters in 2004. • $46.5 million of Tax and Waterworks System Surplus Revenue Certificates of Obligation, Series 2005 were issued to finance projects in Water, Sewer, Airport, North Overton Tax Increment Financing 2.one, Lubbock Power & Light, and Gateway Streets; as well as Parks and Strec1s projects throughout the City. • $23.1 million of Tax & Electric Light & Power Smplus Revenue CO, Series 2005 were issued to finance distnoution projects and to refund $19.8 million of contract debt previously issued by West Texas Municipal Power Agency. • $49.6 million of General Obligation Refunding Bonds, Series 2005 were issued to defease $50.4 million in outstanding bonds in order to achieve interest savings. • $43.1 million of Tax & Waterworks System Surplus Revenue Ref.

The City of Lubbock is contractually obligated to pay the debt service on these bonds over a 20 year period. All bonds issued during the fiscal year were insured to provide a lower cost of interest expense for the City's taxpayers. It is the City's policy to evaluate each bond issue to determine whether it is economically feasible to purchase bond insurance. On November 22, 2005, the City of Lubbock received a rating outlook upgrade from "stable" to ''positive" from Moody's Investors Service. The City currently maintains an .. AA-" rating from Standard & Poor's and Fitch Ratings, Inc. and an "Al" rating from Moody's Investors Service for general obligation debt. On December 21°, 2005, LP&L received a rating upgrade from "BBB-" to "BBB" .from Standard & Poor's.

Additional information about the City's long-term debt can be found on pages 81-86 oftbis report. Economic Factors and the Next Fiscal Year's Budget and Rues • At the end of the City's fiscal year ttie \Dletoployment rate for the Lubbock area was 3.8 percent This is a decrease from a rate of 4.3 percent from the same month one year earlier. This compares :favorably to the state's unemployment rate of 5.3 percent and the national rate of 4.8 percent for September 2005. • Retail sales figures are only available through the third quarter of FY 2004-05. Total retail sales reflected a 4.9 percent increase for that period over 1he same period in 2004. • The number of building permits for new construction decreased from 2,796 during FY 2003-04 to 2,222 in FY 2004-05, or about a 20.5 percent decrease. This compares to a 2.9 percent decrease during the prior period. Bwlding permit values for new construction decreased from $389.4 million in FY 2003-04 to $388.4 million in FY 2004-05, or about a 2 percent decrease. • Total occupancy in local hotels and motels improved and the local occupancy tax totaled nearly $3 .3 million, a 14 percent increase over last fiscal year. • City Council again decided to support the operations of LP&L by forgoing transfers for payments in lieu of taxes and franchise fees for the upcoming fiscal year. The City Council intends to continue this support until such time as LP&L has adequate monetary reserves as set by City ordinance. All of these factors were considered in piepaaing the City of Lubbock's budget for FY 2005-06. During the just ended fiscal year, unreserved fund balance in the General Fund increased by nearly $5.1 million to $1 7 .2 million compared to $12.1 million at the end of the prior fiscal year. It is int.ended that the wtreSeIVed widesignated fund balance be equal to 20% of operating revenues, which equates to approximately $17.6 million. The City ended the-year nearly $ .4 million under this target City Management anticipates meeting this goal in the next fiscal year. 33 City of Lubbock, Texas Management's Discussion and Analysis For the Year Ended September 3~ 2005 LP&L increased rates in May 2005 as follows; 15.5% for the larger commercial consumers, 12.3% for residential customers, and 13.0% for small commercial consumers as a result of higher than anticipated costs of power. Both the Water and Sewer Funds rates were increased for FY 2003-04 and FY 2004-05. Water rates were increased by 3 percent and sewer rates were increased by 5 percent for all customers each year. The water and sewer rates affected both residential and commercial consumers by the same percentage. These rate increases were necessary to cover increased operating costs due to expanded capital replacement projects and the acquisition of additional water rights.

The criteria include whether: • The organization is legally separate (can sue and be sued in its own name). • The City holds the corporate powers of the orgmmtion, • The City appoints a voting majority of the organization's board. • The City is able to impose its will on the organization, • The organization bas the potential to impose a financial benefit or burden on the City, or • 11?-ere is fiscal dependency by the otganimion on the City. As required by GAAP, the BFS present the reporting entity which consists of the City (the primary government), organiz.atiom for which the City is financially accountable, and other organizations for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the City are such that exclusion could cause the City's BFS to be misleading or incomplete. 57 C ( ( ( C I' \,, C ( ( ( ( ') ) ) City of Lubbock, Tens Notes to Basic Financial Statements September 30, 2005 NOTE L SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING p0UCIES (Continued) A.

GOVERNMENT-WIDE AND FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The City's financial statements are prepared using the reporting model specified in GASB Statement No. 34 - B03ic Financial Slatementr -and Management's Discussion and Analysis -for Stale and Local Governments, GASB Statement No. 37 -Bmic Financial Statements -and Management's Discussion and Analysis -For State and Local GovernmenJs -Omnibus, GASB Statement No. 38 -Certain Finandal Statement Nole Disclo,nue:r, and GASB Interpretation No. 6 -Recognition and MeasuremenJ of Certain liabililies and Expenditw-es in Governmental Fund Financial StaJemenls. As specified by Statement No. 34, the Basic Financial Statements (BFS) include both Government-Wide and Fwtd Financial Statements. In FY 2005 the City adopted the provisions of GASB Statement No. 40 -Deposit and lnvutmenJ Risk DucJosures. This new standard revises the existing requirements reganting disclosure of custodial credit risk and establishes requirements for disclosures regarding credit risk, concentration of credit risk, interest rate risk and foreign currency risk. Adoption of GASB Statement No. 4(1 had no effect on net assets and change in net assets in the prior or current year. The OovernmentMWide Finandal Statement.'i (GWFS) (i.e., the Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities) report information on all of the nonM.fiduciazy activities of the City and its blended component units as a whole. The discretely presented component units are also aggregately presented within these slatements. The effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements by allocation of the activities of the various intemal serviee funds to the governmental and business-type activities on a fund basis based on the predominant users of the services. Governmental activities, which are primarily supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately ftom businesHype activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support. All activities, both governmental and busin~-type, are reported in the GWFS using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, which includes long-tenn assets and receivables as well as long-term debt and obligations. The GWFS focus more on the sustainability of the Cify as an entity and the change in aggregate financial position resulting from the activilies of the fiscal period. The Government-Wide Statement of Net Assets reports all financial and capital resources of the City, excluding those reported in the fiduciary fund. It is displayed in the format of assets less liabilities equals net assets, with the wets and liabilities shown in order oflheir relative liquidity. Net assets are required to be displayed in three components: (I) invested in capital assets net of related debt. (2) restricted, and (3) unrestricted. Invested in capital assets net of related debt equals capital assets net of accumulated depreciation and n:duced by oulsfanding balances of any bonds, mortgages, notes, or other borrowinp that are attributable to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets. Restricted. net assets are those with constraints placed on their~ by either: (1) externally imposed by creditors (such as through debt covenants), grantOIS, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments; or (2) imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. All net assets not otherwise classified as invested in capital assetll net of related debt or restricted, are shown as unrestricted. Reservations or designations of net usets imposed by the City, whether by administrative policy or legislative actions of the City Council that do not odlerwise meet the definition of restricted net assets, are considered unrestricted in the GWFS. The Government-Wide Slatement of Activities demonmates the degree to which the direct expenses for a given function or segment is offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment Program revenues include, (l} charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit 6-om goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment; and (2) grants and contn'butions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Tax.cs and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues. The general revenues support the net costs of the functions and segments not covered by program revenues. 60 City of Lubbock, Texas Notes to Basic Financial Statemeots September 30, ZOOS NOTE L SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) B. GOVERNMENT-WIDE AND FUND FINANCIAL SIATEMENTS (Continued) Also part of the BFS are Fund Financial Statements (FFS) for governmental funds. proprietary funds, and the fiduciary fund, even though the latter is excluded from the GWFS. The focus of the FFS is on major funds, as defined by GASB Statement No. 34. GASB Statement No. 34 sets forth minimum criteria for determination of major funds, i.e., a percentage of assets, liabilities, revenue, or expenditures/expeoses of fund cat.egory and of the governmenlal and enterprise funds combined. However, it also gives governments the option of displaying other funds as major funds. The City can elect to add some funds as major funds because of outstanding debt or community focus. Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the FFS_ Other non-major funds are combined in a single colwnn in the appropriate FFS. C. MEASUREMENT FOCUS, BASIS OF ACCOUNTING, AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION · Fund Financial Statements Toe GWFS are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual ~is of accounting. as are the proprietary FFS. The City's fiduciary FFS includes only an agency fund that uses the accrual basis of acco~ However, because agency funds n,port only assets and liabilities, this fund does not have a measurement focus. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements have been met. Because the enterprise funds are combined into a single busfuess.type activities column on the GWFS, certain interfund activities between these funds are eliminated in the consolidation for the GWFS, but are included in the fimd columns in the proprietary FFS. The effect of inter-fund activity has been eliminated from the GWFS. Exceptions to this general rule are paymenls-in•lieu of mxes and other charges between the City's electrlc, water and sewer functions and various other functions of the government Elimination of these charges would distort dte direct costs and program revenues reported for the various functions concerned. For instance, 88.5% of the operations of WTMPA representing transactions between WTMPA and Lubbock Power & Llght have been eliminared for the GWFS presentation and for the electric BT A. Governmental FFS are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. This is the traditional basis of accounting for governmental funds. This presentation is necessary, (1) to demonstrate legal and covenant compliance, (2) to demonstrate the sources and uses of liquid resources, and (3) to demonstrate how the City's actual revenues and expenditures coofonn to the annual budget. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are coll.ectJ"ble within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For 1his purpose, the government considers revenues to be available, generally, if they are collected within 45 days of the end of the current fiscal period, with the exception of sat~ mx~ which are coosidered to be available if they are collected within 60 days of year end. The City consider.I the grant availability period to be one year for revenue recognition. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is inCWTed, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures relat.ed to compensated absences, and claims and judgmenb are recorded only when the Liability has matured. Because the governmental FFS are presented on a different basis of accounting than the GWFS, reconciJiation is provided immediately following each fi.md stat.emenL These reconciliations explain the adjustments necessary to convert the FFS into the governmental activities column of the GWFS. 61 C C ( ( ,.. \. r \.

MEASUREMENT FOCUS, BASIS OF ACCOUNTING, AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION (Continued) Property taxes, sales taxes. franchise taxes, occupancy taxes, grants, licenses, court fines, and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be $USCq)tible to acaual and have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period Only the portion of special assessments receivable due within the current fiscal period is considered to be suscepti'"ble to accrual as revenue of the current period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when the City receives cash . Fund Accounting Toe City uses funds to report its financial position and the results of its operations. Fund accounting segregates funds according to their mtended purpose and is designed to demonstrate legal compliance and t.o aid financial management by segregating transactions related to certain governmental functions or activities. A fund is a separate accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts, which includes assets, liabilities, fund balance/net assets, revenues and expendituresl'expenses. Governmental funds are those through which most of the governmental functions of the City are financed. The City reports one major governmental fund: The General Fund. The General Fund, as the City's primary operating fund, accounts for all financial resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund. Enterprise Fonds are used to a.Q;OWlt for operations: (1) that are financed and operated ma manner similar to private business enterprises where the intent of the governing body is that the costs {expenses. including depreciation) of providing goods or services to 1he general public on a continuing basis be financed or recovered through user charges; or {2) where the governing body has decided that periodic determination of revenues earned, expenses incarred, and/or net income is appropriate for capital maintenance, public policy, management control, accountability, or other purposes. The City reports lhe following major enterprise funds: The Electric Fund accounts for the activities of Lubbock Power & Light (LP&L), the City-owned electric production and distribution syst.em. The Water Fund accounts for the activities of the City's water system. The Sewer Fund accounts for the activities oflhe City's sanitmy sewer system. The West Texas Municipal Power Agency (WTMPA) Fund accounts for the activities of power generation and power brokering to member cities. Member eities include Lubbock with 88.5% owner.ship, and Tulia, Brownfield, antl Floydada comprising the renuuning 11.5% ownership. The Stormwater FDDd accounts for the activities of the stonnwater utility, which provides stonnwater drainage for the City. 62 City of Lubbock, Texas Notes to Basic Financial Statements September 30, 2005 NOTE L SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) C. MEASUREMENT FOCUS. BASIS OF ACCOUNTING, AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION (Continued) The City reports the following non-major funds: Governmental Funds Special Revenue Funds are used to account for lhe proceeds of specific revenue sources ( other than special assessments or major capital projects) that are legally restricted tn expenditures for specified purposes. The Debt Service Fund is used to account for the accumulation of resoUt'Ces for, and the payment of, general long-tenn obligation principal and interest (other than debt service payments made by proprietary funds). Capital Projects Funds are used to account for financial resources to be used for the acquisition or construction of major capital improvements (other than those recorded in the proprietary funds). Proprietary Funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the City's enterprise funds and of the City's internal service funds are charges to customers for sales and services. Operating expenses for enterprise funds and internal service funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative expens~ and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as non--operating revenues and expenses. Internal Service Funds are used to account for services provided to other depamnents, agencies of the depamnents or to other governmeots on a cost reimbursement basis (i.e., Fleet Maintenance Fund. Central Warehouse Fund. Print Shop Fund, Self-Insurance ·Fund. etl;.). Enterprise Funds are used to account for services to outside users where the full cost of providing services, including capital, is to be recovered through fees and charges, e.g., Lubbock Preston Smith International Allport (Airport Fund), Citibus, and the Solid Waste Fmid. Fiduciary Funds include an Agency Fund that is used to account for assets held by the City as an agent for private organizations. D. BUDGETARY ACCOUNTING The City Manager submits a proposed operating budget and capital improvement plan to the City Ccwtcil amwally for the upcoming fiscal year. Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comments, and the budget is legally enacted through ~ of an ordinance by City Council. City Council action is also required for the approval of any supplemental appropriations. All budget amounts presented in the budget comparison statement reflect the original budget and the amended budget, which have been adjusted for legally authorized supplemental appropriations to the annual budget during the 6scal year. The operating budget is adopted on a basis consistent with GAAP for the General Fund. Budgetary control is llJaintained at the department level in the following expenditure categories: personnel services, supplies, other charges, and 63 C C C C ( ( ,.

Management may make administrative transfers and increases or decreases in accounts within categories, as long as expendilures do not exceed budgeted appropriations at the fund level. the legal level of control. All annual operating appropriations lapse at the end of the fiscal year. Capital budgets do not lapse at fiscal year end but remain in effect until lhe project is completed and closed. In addition to the tax levy for general operations, 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 invesbnents in the fund, is sufficient to pay all debt service due during the fiscal year. E. ENCUMBRANCES At the end of the fiscal year, encumbrances for goods and services that have not been received are canceled. At the beginning of the next fiscal year, management reviews all open encumbrances. During the budget revision process, encumbra!W:es may be re-established On October 1, 2005, the General Fund had no significant amounts of open encumbrances. F. ASSETS, LIABil,ITJES AND FUND BALANCE/NET ASSETS Equity in Cash and Investments-The City pools the resources of the various funds in order to &cilitate the management of cash and enhance investment earnings. Records are maintained which reflect each fund's equity in the pooled account. The City's investments me stated at fair value, which is based on quoted market prices as of the valuation date. Cash Equivalents • Cash equivalents are defined as short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have original maturities of three momhs or less when purchased which present an insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Investments -Investment.s inclnde securities in 1he Federal Home Loan Banks, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, and Federal National Mortgage Association. Restricted investments include cash equivalents and investments that have been restricted for bond financed capital projects and money restricted for claims in the Rjsk and Health Insurance Funds. Property Tu Receivable -The value of all real and business property located in the City is assessed annually on January l in conformity with Subtitle E of the Texas Property Cod1:. Property taxes are levied on October 1 on those assessed values and the taxes are due on receipt of the tax bill. On the following January I, a tax lien attaches to property to secure the payment of all taxes, penalties. and int.erest uhimately imposed. The taxes are considered delinquent if not paid before February L Therefore, at fiscal year end all property taxes receivable are delinquent, but are secured by a tax lien. At the GWFS level, property tax revenue is rccog,med upon levy. ln governmental funds, the City records property taxes receivable upon levy and defers tax revenue until the taxes are collected or available. For each ~I year, the City reoognizes revenue in the miount of taxes collected during the year plus an estimate of taxes lo be collected in the subsequent 45 days. The City allocates property tax revenue between the General, certain Special Revenue, and Debt Service Funds based on tax rates adopted for the year of levy. The Lubbock Central Appraisal District assesses property values, bills, collects, and remits the property taxes to the City. The City adjusts the allowance for uncollectible taxes and deferred tax revenue at fiscal year end based upon historical co11ection experience. To write off property taxes receivable, the City eliminates the reocivable and reduces the allowance for uncollecb"ble accounts. 64 City of Lubbock, Texas Notes to Basic Financial Statements September 30, 2005 NOTE I.

ASSETS, LIABILITIES, AND FUND BALANCE/NET ASSETS {Continued} Enterprise FUnds Receivables -Within the Electric, Water, Sewer, and WTMPA Enterprise Funds, services rendered but not billed as of the close of the fiscal year are accrued and this amount is reflected in the accounts receivable balances of each fund. Amounts billed are reflected as accowits receivable net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts. Inventories -Inventories consist of expendable supplies held for consumption. Inventories are va1ued. at cost using the average cost method of valuation, and are accounted for using the consumption method of accounting, i.e., inventory is expensed when used ralh.er than when purchased. Prepaid Items -Prepaid items are accounted for under the consumption method. Restricted Assets -Certain enterprise fund and governmental activities assets are restricted for construction and debt; consequently, net assets have been restricted for these amounts. The excess of other restricted assets over related liabilities are included as restricted net assets for bond proceeds, bond indentw-es requirements, and passenger facility charges. Mortgage Receivables -Mortgage receivables consist of loans made to Lubbock residents under the City's Community Development loan program. These loans were originally funded primarily through grants received from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. capital Assets and Depreciation -Capital~ including pubJic domain infrastructure (streets, bridges, sidewalks and ollter assets that are immovable and of value only to the City) are defined as usets with an initial, individual cost of more than $5,000 and an estimated useful life in excess of one year. These capital assets are reported in the GWFS and the proprietary funds. Capital assets are recorded at cost or estimated historical coat if purchased or coastructed. Donated assets are recorded at the estimated fair value on the date of donation. Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as the projects are constructed. The cost of nonnal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend the asset lives are not capitalized. Major improvements are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful lives of the related capital assets. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives as follows: ~lllJ)fOVClllellts Buildings Equipment Water rights 10-50 years 15-50years 3-15 years 85 years Interest capitali'zation -Because the City issues general-purpose capital improvement bonds, which ani recorded within the proprietmy funds, the City capitali7.es interest costs for busine.ss-type activities and enterprise funds according to the Financial Acwunting Standards Board (F ASB) Statement No. 34 Capilalizalion of Interest Cost and FASB Statement No. 62 Capitalization of Interest Costs.

These are the Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS) and the Lubbock Firemen's Relief and Retirement Fund (LFRRF). The City does not maintain the accounting records, hold the investments or administer either retirement plan. Summary of significant data for each retirement plan follows: TEXAS MUNICIPAL RETmEMENT SYSTEM (TMRS) Plan Description The City provides pension benefits for all of its full-time employees (with the exception of firefighters) through a non-traditional, joint contnbutory, hybrid defined benefit plan in the state-wide TMRS, one of 801 administered by TMRS, an agent multiple-employer public employee retirement system. Benefits depend upon the sum of the employee's contributions to the plan, with inten:st, and the City-financed monetary credits, with interest. At the date the plan began. the City granted monetary credits for service rendered before the plan began of a theoretical amount equal to two limes what would have been contributed by the employee, with interest, prior to establishment of the plan. Monetary credits for service since the plan began are a percent {100%, 150%, or 2000/4) of the empl())"le's accumulated contributions. In addition, the City can grant, as often as annually, another cype of monetary credit referred to as an updated service credit which is a theoretical amount which. when added to the employee's ac;cumulated COlllnoutions and the monetary credits for service since the plan began, would be the total monetary cmiits and employee contributions accwnulated with interest if the current employee cootnl>ution rm and City matching perceot had always been in existence and if the employee's salary had always been the averap of his salaiy in the last three years that are one year before the efrective date. At retirement, the benefit is calculated as if the sum of 1he employee's accumulated contn"butions with interest and the employer-financed monetary credits with interest were used to purchase an annuity. The plan provisions are adopted by the governing body of the City. within the options available in the state statutes governing TMRS and within the actuarial constraints also in the statutes. Members can retire at ages 60 and above with 5 or more years of service or with 20 years of service regardless of age. A member is vested after 5 years. Contributions The contribution rate for the employees is 7% and the City matching ratio is currently 2 to l, both as adopted by the governing body of the City. Under the state law governing TMRS, the actuary annually detennines the City contribution rate and the prior service cost 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 cw-rent1y ac:cn.1ing monetary credits due to the City maJclrlng percent. which are the obligation of the City as of an employee's retimneot date, not at the time the employee's contn"butions 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 bis/her retirement becomes effective. The prior service contribution rate amortizes the unfimded (overfunded) actuariaJ liability (asset) over the remainder of the plan's 25-year amortization period. The unit credit actuarial cost method is used for determining the City contribution rate. Both the employees and the City make contributions monthly.

RETIREMENT PLANS (Continued) LUBBOCK FIREFIGHTER'S RELmF AND RETIREMENT FUND (LFRRF) Plan Description The Board of Trustees of the LFRRF is the administrator of a single-employer defined benefit pension plan. This pension fund is a trust fund. It is Rlported by the City as a related organization and is not considered to be a part of the City financial reporting entity. Firefighters in dte Lubbock Fire Department are covered by the LFRRF. The LFRRF provides service retirement, death, disability and withdrawal benefits. These benefilS fully vest after 20 years of credited service. A partially vested benefit is provided for firefighters who terminate employment with at least IO but less than 20 years of service. Employees may retire at age 50 with 20 years of service. A reduced early service retirement benefit is provided for employees who terminate employment with 20 or more years of service. The LFRRF Plan effective November I, 2003 provides a monthly normal service retirement benefit, payable in a Joint and Two-Thirds to Spouse form of annuity, equal to 68.92% of final 48-month average salary plus $335.05 per month for each year of service in excess of 20 years. A firefighter bas the option to participate in a Retroactive Deferred Retirement Option Plan (RETRO DROP) which provides a Jump sum benefit and a reduced annuity upon termination of employment. Firefighters must be at least 51 years of age with 21 years of service at the selected "RETRO DROP benefit calculation date" (which is prior to date of employment termination). Early RETRO DROP with benefit reductions is available at age 50 wid1 20 years of service for the selected "early RETRO DROP benefit calculation date". A Partial Lump Sum option is also available where a reduced mon1hly benefit is detennined based on an elecred lump sum amoW1t such that the combined present value of the benefits under the option is actuarially equivalent to that of the normal form of the monthly benefit. Optional forms are also available at varying levels of surviving spouse benefits instead of the standard two-thirds form. There is no provision for automatic postretirement benefit increases. LFRR.F bas the authority to provide, and has periodically provided for in the past, ad hoc postretirement benefit increases. The benefit provisions of this plan are authorized by the Texas Local Fire Fighter's Retirement Act (TLFFRA). TLFFRA provides the authority and procedure to amend benefit provisions. Contn'butions Required and Contributions Made The contribution provisions of this plan are authorized by TLFFRA. 11.FFRA provides the authority and procedure to change the amotmt of contributions determined as a percentage of pay by each firefighter and a percentage ofpayroll by the City. State law requires that each plan of benefits adopted by LFRRF be approved by an eligible actuary. The actuary certifies that the COBtribution commitment by the firefighters and the City provides an adequate financing arrangement. Using the entry age actaarial cost method, LFRRF's normal cost contribution rate is determined as a percentage of payroll. The excess of the total contribution rare over the nonnal cost contribution rate is used to amorti2.e LFRRFs unfunded actuarial accJUed liability (UAAL). if any, and the number of years needed to amortize LFRRFs unfunded actuarial liability. if any, is detennined using a level percentage of payroll method. The costs of administering the plan are financed by LFRRF. 76 City of Lubbock, Tens Notes to Basic Financial Statements September30,2005 NOTE m. DETAil. NOTES ON ALL ACTIVITIES AND FUNDS (Continued) L RETIREMENT PLANS (Continued) Annual Pension Cost For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005, the City of Lubbock's Annual Pension Cost (APC) for the Lubbock Fire Fund was equal to $3,016,942 as described in item 4 in the table below. Based on the results of the December 31, 2004 actuarial valuation of the Plan Effective November l, 2003, the most recent biennial actuarial valuation. the Board's actuary found that the fimd had an adequate financing arrangement. as described in the paragraph below, based on the fixed level of the firefighter contribution rates and on the assumed level of City contribution rates. Based on the Plan Effective November 1, 2003, LFRRF's funding policy requires contributions equal to 12.43% of pay by the firefighters. Contributions by the City are based on a fomrula, which causes the City's contribution rate to fluctuate ftom year to year. The December 31, 2004 actuarial valuation assumes that the City's contributions will average 19% of payroll in the future. Therefore, based on the December 31, 2004 actuarial valuation of the Plan Effective November l, 2003, the Annual Required Contributions (ARC) are not actuarially detennined but are equal to the City's actual contributions beginning January I, 2005. This actuarial valuation satisfied the parameters of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 27. Prior to JanU81)' l, 2005, the ARC were not actuarially determined but. based on the December 31, 2002 actuarial valuation, were equal to the City's actual contn'butions in calendar year 2004.

The actuarial value of assets was market value smoothed by a five-year deferred recognition method, with the actuarial value not more than 1100/4 or Jess than 9()0/4 of the market value of assets. The actnarial assumptions included in an investment return assumption of 8% per year (net of expenses), projected salary increases including promotion and longevity averaging S. 7% per year over a 30-year career, and no postretirement cost-of-living adjustments. An inflation assumption of 4% per year was included iD the investment return and salary im:n:ase assumptions. The UAAL is amortized with the excess of the assumed total contribution rate over the nonnal cost rate. The number of years needed to amorti7.C the UAAL is determined using an open, level percentage of payroll method, assuming that the payroll will increase 4% per year, and was 24.7 years as of the December 31, 2002 actuarial valuation and 20.6 years as of December 31, 2004 actuarial valuation, both based on the plan provisions effective November I, 2003. 77 I' ....

DETAIL NOTES ON ALL ACTMTIES AND FUNDS (Continued) 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 ofLubbock. The budget, financing, and operations of the District are governed by a Board of Directors selected by the governing bodies of each of the member cities, each city being entitled to one or two members dependent upon population. At September 30, 2005, the Board was comprised of 18 members, two of wh,ch represented the City. The City contracted with the CRMWA to reimbmse it for a portion of the cost of the Canadian River Dam and aqueduct system in exchange for surface water. The City's pro rata share of annual fixed and variable operating and reserve assessments are recorded as an expense of obtaining surface water. Prior to FY 1999, long-term debt was owed to the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation for the cost of construction of the facility, which was completed in 1969. The City's allocation of project costs was $32,905,862. During FY 1999, bonds in the principal amount of $12,300,000 were issued to pay off the construction obligation owed to the U.S. Bun:au of Reclamation via CRMWA in the amount of $20,809,067. The difference of $8,509,067 was a discount in the remaining principal provided by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation to the member cities. This discount has been recorded as a deferred gain OD refunding and is being amortized over the life of the refunding bonds. At September 30, 2005, $5,454,761 remains unamortized. The annual principal and interest payments are included in the disclosures for other City related long-term debt. The above cost for the rights are recorded as capital assets and are beiog amortized over 85 years. The cost and debt are recorded in the Water Enterprise Fund. The Canadian River Municipal Authority issued a new Contract Revenue Bond, Series 2005 on April 20, 2005, in the amount of $48,125,000. The City of Lubbock shared in that issue for $17,960,000 and other costs of $8S0,.296, and received depreciable assets (water rights) valued at $18,810,296. These assets and liabilities are recorded in the W'/111:r Ent.erprise Fund. Bruos River Authority -Lake Alan Henry During 1989, the City entered into an agreement with the Bmms River Authority (BRA) for the construction. maintenance, and operation of the facilities known as Lake Alan Henry. The BRA, which is authorized by the State of Texas to provide for the conservation and development of surface waters in the Brazos River Basin, issued bonds for the construction of a dam and lake facilities on the SoU1h Fork of the Double Mountain Fork of the Brazos River. The BRA issued $16,970,000 in revenue bonds in 1989 and $39,685,000 in revemae bonds in 1991, which were refunded in 1uly 1995. The asset, Lake A1an Henry dam and facilities, are recorded as capital assets and are being depreciated over 50 years. The financial activity, along with related obligation, is accounted for in the Water Enterprise Fund. Special Item In order to protect against the risk of interest rate changes between March 28, 2002 and May 1, 2005, the City entered into an interest .rate swap agreement with JP Morgan Chase. The forward starting swap was fashioned to aUow the City to issue variable rate, tax-exempt bonds in a CUITCnt refunding on the call date in August 2005. The variable rate bonds could then be swapped for a fixed rate of5.26%. 79 C C ( ,. \. C C C ( ( ' ) ) ) ) ) ) City of Lubbo~ Texas Notes to Basic Financial Statements September 30, 2005 NOTE m. DETAR, NOTES ON ALL ACTIVITIES AND FUNDS (Continued) G. SURFACE WATERSUPPLY(Continued) On August 15, 2005, the City chose to tenninate the swap and issue Tax & Wateiworks Revenue Refunding Bonds, series 2005 in the amount of$43,080,000 to retire the Brazos River Authority Bonds of 1995 in the amount of$43,740,000. The new issue bas an average coupon rate of 4.84%, payable through FY 2021. On the date of the bond issuance and swap termination, the swap had a negative fair value of $6,612,000. The fair value was developed by using the zero coupon method. This method calculates lbe future net settlement payments required by the agreement assuming that the current forward rates implied by the yield curve correctly anticipate future spot interest rates. These payments are then discounted using the spot rates implied by the current yield curve for hypothetical zero.coupon bonds due on the date of each future net settlement on the swap. While the net present value of the combined refunding and swap tennination agreement resulted in an economic break-even transaction, the swap termination and related expenses resulted in an accounting loss of $6,637,093. 80 ( City of Lubbock, Texas Notes to Basic Financial Statements September 30, 2005 C NOTE Ill.

Advanced Relundings The City issued two advance refundings to retire a portion of the City's outstanding debt to lower the debt service requirements on such indebtedness. In both advance refundings the net proceeds from the issuance of the Refunding Bon<b were deposited with the Escrow Agent {JP Morgan Chase Bank. Dallas, Texas) in an amount necessary to accomplish the discharge and final payment of die Refunded Bonds on their scheduled redemption date. These funds will be held by the F.scrow Agent in a special escrow fund and used to purchase direct obligations of the United State of America. Under the escrow agreements, between the City and JP Morgan Chase Bank, the escrow funds are irrevocably pledged to the payment of principal and interest on the Refunded Bonds. The Refunded Bonds were removed from the City's basic financial statements.

The various transactions are recorded in the WTMPA and the Electric Enterprise Funds. In July 2005, the City i.ssued General Obligation Refunding Bonds, Series 2005 ("Refunding Bondsj with a par value ofS49,615,000. The Refunding Bonds refimded $50,455,000 outstanding bonds.

L CONDUIT DEBT The City issued Housing Ymance Corporation Bonds, Health Faci1ities Development Corporation Bonds, and Education Facilities Authority Bonds to provide financial assistance to private sector entities for the acquisition and c;oostruction of facilities deemed to be in the public interest.

Neither the City, the State, nor any political subdivision thereof is obligat.ed in any manner for repayment of the bon<b. Accordingly, the bonds are not reported as liabilities in the accompanying financial statements. 86 City of Lubbock, Texas Notes to Basic Financial Statements September 30, 2005 NOTE m. DETAIL NOTES ON ALL ACTIVITIES AND FUNDS (Continued) I. CONDUIT DEBT (Continued) As of September 30, 2005, there were seven series of Lubbock Health Facilities Development Corporation Bonds outstanding with an aggregate principal amount payable of $278,537,343. The bonds were issued between 1993 and 2002. Also as of September 30, 2005, there was one series of Lubbock Education facilities Authority Inc. Bonds outstanding with an aggregate principal amount payable of $10,500,000. The bonds were issued in 1999. J. RISK MANAGEMENT The Risk Management Fund was established to account for liability claims, worker's compensation claims, and premiums for property/casualty insurance coverage. The Risk Management Fund generates its revenue through charges to other departments, which are based on costs. In April 1999, the City purchased workers' compensation coverage, with no deductible, from a third party. Prior to April 1999 the City was self insured for worker's compensation claims. Any claims outstanding prior to April 1999 continue to be the responsibility of the City. The City's self insurance liability program is on a cash flow basis, which means that the servicing contractor processes, adjusts and pays claims from a deposit provided by the City. The City accounts for the liability program by charging premiums based upon losses, administrative fees and reserve requirements. In order to control the risks associated with liability claims, the City purchased excess liability coverage in September I 999, which is rellCWCd annuaJly. The policy has a $10 million annual aggregate limit and is subject to a $250,000 deductible per claim. For self-insured coverage, the Risk Management Fund establishes claim liabilities based on estimates of the ultimate cost of claims (including future claim adjustment expenses) that have been reported but not settled, and of claims that have been incurred but not reported (IBNR). 1be length of time for which such costs must be estimated varies depending on the coverage involved. Because actual claim costs depend on such complex. factors as inflation, changes in doctrines of legal liability, and damage awards, the process used in computing claim liabilities does not necessarily result in an exact amount, particularly for liability coverage. Claim liabilities are recomputed periodically using a variety of actuarial and statistical techniques to produce current estimates that teflect recent settlements, claim frequency, and other economic and social factors. Adjustments to claim liabilities are charged or credited to expense in the period in which they are incurred. Additionally, property and boiler coverage is aCCOW1.ted for in 1he Risk Management Fund. The property insurance policy was purchased from an outside insurance carrier. The policy has a $500,000 deduotal>le per occurrence, and the boiler coverage insurance deductible is up to $500,000 dependent upon the unit. Premiums are charged to funds based upon estimated premiums for the upcoming year. Other small insurance policies, such as surety bond coverage and miscellaneous floaters, are also accounted for in the Risk Management FUnd. Funds are charged based on premium amounts and administrative charges. The City has had no significant reductions in insurance coverage during the fiseal year. Settlements in the current year and preceding two years have not exceeded insurance coverage. The City accounts for all insurance activity in lntemal Service Funds. 87 C C ( C ,. ...

The City's plan is self-insured under an Administrative Services Only (ASO) Agreement The ASO Agreement provides exCC$S coverage of $175,000 per covered individual annually and an aggregate cap of $18,845,757. The insurance vendor based on medical trend. claims history, and utilization determines the aggregate deductible. The contract requires an IBNR reserve of approximately $2,3 million. The City also provides full-time employees basic tenn life insurance. Revenues for the life insurance premiums are also generated from each cost center based upon the number of active employees. The life insurance policy has a filce value of$10,000 per emplayee. Full-time employees may elect to purchase medical and dental insurance for eligible dependents and the City subsidizes dependeot premiums to reduce the cost to employees. Employees may also elect to participate in several vobmtary illsurance programs such as a cancer income policy, voluntary life, and personal accident insurance. Voluntary insurance products are fully paid by the employee. Retiring City employees may elect to retain medical and dental insurance and a reduced amount of life insurance on themselves and eligible dependents.

The grant programs are subject to audits by agents of the granting authority to ensure compliance with conditions pn:cedent to the granting of fuods. Any liability for reimbursement which may arise as the result of audits of grants is not believed to be significant a LmGATION The City is currently involved in tbe following lawsuits which could have an impact on the financial position iflhe City is found liable. Adams, et al v. City of Lubbock: The City of Lubbock has been sued by numeroas firefighters employed by the City of Lubbock. They are claiming that the City of Lubbock did not properly pay its mfighters fur "move-up" pay pursuant to the Civil Service Act PID'SUant to the Civil Service Act, firefighters can move-up and perform temporary duties in higher classifications. When they perform these duties they are entitled to the pay of the higher classification. While the City has paid them this higher pay, the plainti1fs assert they are also entitled to the "seniority pay'' which they've earned at the lower classification. Their basis for this assertion is that the statute says that they are entitled to 1he base pay of the higher classification plus any "longevity or seniority pay". Both sides filed Motions for Sumuuuy Judgment in the trial court and the court ruled in favor of the plaintiffs. The City's MOlion for SWnmary Judgment was denied. Plaintiffs were awarded damages, collectively, in the amount of $688,000 for damages through July 12. 2002, which includes pre-judgment interest Plaintiffs were dt.aied attorney's tees. The City of Lubbock appealed the trial court's decision to the appellate court. On October 7, 2004, the Appeals Court reversed the judgment of the trial court and rendered a decision in favor of the City of Lubbock, holding that tbe City paid its employees properly under the Civil Service A~. Plaintiffs have appealed to the Texas Supreme Court and the Texas Supreme Court has requested full briefing on th8 issues. The Court has not made a detennination as to whether or not it will hear the case. Bllraard Construction Company, Inc. 11. City of Lubbock: Plaintiff is a CODStnlction company suing the City ofLubbock forbreaoh of contract. Plaintiffalleg~ the City owes it almost $2,400,000 for rock it excavated on a drainage project. They assert they are owed $204,000 for rode excavated on Line Al and assert they~ owed almost f.2.200,000 for rock excavaled on other lines on the project The City has agreed to pay for approximately $176,000 of rock excavated on Line Al. However, the City has denied that it owes Bammd any compensation for rock excavated on the othe. Lines. The City filed a Motion for Summary Judgment as to this issae and a Trial Court ruled in the City's Javor oo September 28, 2005. Barnard has appealed this case to the Ylfth Circuit Court of Appeals. Oral arguments are set for March. Jeandte Uvingston. et al v. City of Lubbock; Six (6) Plaintiffs filed suit against die City ofLubboclc in 2004 alleging that the City and/or County failed to properly record information in its cemetery RCOtds that would indicate where their relatives were buried. Fifty-six additional Plaintiffs were added to the suit in November 2005. The City believes it has located where twenty-one (21) of such pe150ns were interred. As to others, many were interred before the City owned the portion oftbe cemetery. The City acquired portions of the current cemetery between 1948 and 1959 and 92 City of Lubbock, Texas Notes to Basic Financial Statements September 30, 2005 NOTE IV. CONTINGENT LIABilJTIES (Continued) B. LmGATION (Continued) many of the deceased were clearly buried when other entities owned the cemetery. The City will assert it has no liability for their negligence in not recording the burial locations properly. The City will also assert that the Plaintiffs have no evidence that the City was negligent and didn't maintain records that showed where such persons were buried. For those pezsons who were buried while the City owned the cemetery and the City failed to properly record the burial location, there are a number of defenses. First, the City will assert that the statute of limitations bas nm. Second, the City will mert that this is a contractual issue and not a tort issue. thus giving standing only to those who were parties to the contract. Third, the City will assert that. if this is a tort issue, that this is a negligent .infliction of emotional distress case and such cause of action was nullified by the Texas Supreme CO\lrt in 1993. Lastly, for those buried after 1970, the City has other defenses it will assert under the Texas Tort Claims Act. At this time, damages are difficult to ascertain but, collectively, they would meet the $200,000 materiality definition for damages. Marvin Rodriguez v. LP&L: Plaintiff sued LP&L for negligently maintaining a line. P~ an employee of Atmos Energy, was working around an LP&L line and suffered second degree bums over 5% of his body. He alleg~ that LP&L was negligent in not de-energizing the line since it was no longer in use. The City will assert that the Plaintiff was negligent for failing to contact LP&L and as to whether the line was energized. It is our understanding that Plaintiff was suspended by bis own company for his negligent conduct. While we do not believe this suit bas a potential exposure of over $200,000, we are including it in this disclosure as Plaintiff's demand was $325,000. C, SITE REMEDIATION The City has identified specific locations requjring site remediation relative to underground fuel storage tanks and historical fire training sites. As of September 30, 200S the City ideutified three locatiollS that posed a probable liability. The City recorded the liabilities for the three locations as follows: LP&L Plant 1 ($236,000). LP&L Cooke Plant ($326,000) and WesTex Aircraft ($300,000). The potential exposure for the remaining locations is not readily determinable as of September 30, 2005. In the opinion of management, the ultimate liability for these locations will not have a materially adverse effect on the City's financial position. 93 < ( ( ( C ( ( C C C ) ) ) '\ ........

WE HA VE represented the City as its Bond Counsel for the sole purpose of rendering an opinion with respect to the legality and validity of the Bonds under the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas and with respect to the exclusion of interest on the Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes. We have not investigated or verified original proceedings, records, data or other material, but have relied solely upon the transcript of proceedings described in the following paragraph. We have not assumed any responsibility with respect to the financial condition or capabilities of the City or the disclosure thereof in connection with the sale of the Bonds. Our role in connection with the City's Official Statement prepared for use in connection with the sale of the Bonds has been limited as described therein. IN OUR CAP A CITY as Bond Counsel, we have participated in the preparation of and have examined a transcript of certified proceedings pertaining to the Bonds, on which we have relied in giving our opinion. The transcript contains certified copies of certain proceedings of the City; an escrow agreement (the "Escrow Agreement") between the City and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as escrow agent (the "Escrow Agent''); a report (the "Report") of Grant Thornton LLP, Certified Public Accountants (the ''Verification Agent"), verifying the sufficiency of the deposits made with the Escrow Agent for defeasance of the obligations being refunded (the "Refunded Obligations") and the mathematical accuracy of certain computations of the yield on the Bonds and obligations acquired with the proceeds of the Bonds; and VIMOl'I a Elkins UP Attorneys at UM Auslif1 Beijing Dallas Dubai Houston London Moscow New Yoril Tok)s) Washington Trammell Crow Center. 2001 Ross Avenue, Suite 3700 Dallas, Texas 75201-297S Tel 214.220.7700 Fax214.220.7716 11/WW.veiaw.com V&E customary certificates of officers, agents and representatives of the City, and other public officials, and other certified showings relating to the authorization and issuance of the Bonds. We have also examined executed Bond No. I of this issue. BASED ON SUCH EXAMINATION, IT IS OUR OPINION THAT: (A) The transcript of certified proceedings evidences complete legal authority for the issuance of the Bonds in full compliance with the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas presently effective and, therefore, the Bonds constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the City; (B) A continuing ad valorem tax upon all taxable property within the City, necessary to pay the interest on and principal of the Bonds, has been levied and pledged irrevocably for such purposes, within the limit prescribed by law, and the total indebtedness of the City, including the Bonds, does not exceed any constitutional, statutory or other limitations; and (C) Firm banking and financial arrangements have been made for the discharge and final payment of the Refunded Obligations pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, and therefore, the Refunded Obligations are deemed to be fully paid and no longer outstanding except for the purpose of being paid from the funds provided therefor in such Escrow Agreement. THE RIGHTS OF THE OWNERS of the Bonds are subject to the applicable provisions of the federal bankruptcy laws and any other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors of political subdivisions generally, and may be limited by general principles of equity which permit the exercise of judicial discretion. IT IS OUR FURTHER OPINION THAT: ( 1) Interest on the Bonds is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes under existing law; and (2) The Bonds are not "private activity bonds" within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and interest on the Bonds is not subject to the alternative minimum tax on individuals and corporations, except that interest on the Bonds will be included in the "adjusted current earnings" of a corporation ( other than an S corporation, regulated investment company, REIT, REMIC or FASIT) for purposes of computing its alternative minimum tax liability. In providing such opinions, we have relied on representations of the City, the City's financial advisor and the underwriters of the Bonds with respect to matters solely within the knowledge of the City, the City's financial advisor and the underwriters respectively, which we POS Opioion-Lubbock-Refunding-2006.DQC -2- ( (" C C ( C ( (' " ,. ' ) "\ '\ ) ) V&E have not independently verified, and have assumed continuing compliance with the covenants in the Ordinance pertaining to those sections of the Code that affect the exclusion from gross income of interest on the Bonds for federal income tax purposes. We have further relied on the Report of the Verification Agent regarding the mathematical accuracy of certain computations. If such representations or the Report are determined to be inaccurate or incomplete or the City fails to comply with the foregoing provisions of the Ordinance, interest on the Bonds could become includable in gross income from the date of original delivery, regardless of the date on which the event causing such inclusion occurs. Except as stated above, we express no opinion as to any federal, state or local tax consequences resulting from the receipt or accrual of interest on, or acquisition, ownership or disposition of, the Bonds. Owners of the Bonds should be aware that the ownership of tax-exempt obligations may result in collateral federal income tax consequences to financial institutions, life insurance and property and casualty insurance companies, certain S corporations with Subchapter C earnings and profits, individual recipients of Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits, taxpayers who may be deemed to have incurred or continued indebtedness to purchase or carry tax-exempt obligations, taxpayers owning an interest in a F ASIT that holds tax-exempt obligations and individuals otherwise qualifying for the earned income credit. In addition, certain foreign corporations doing business in the United States may be subject to the "branch profits tax" on their effectively-connected earnings and profits (including tax-exempt interest such as interest on the Bonds). The opinions set forth above are based on existing law, which is subject to change. Such opinions are further based on our knowledge of facts as of the date hereof. We assume no duty to update or supplement these opinions to reflect any facts or circumstances that may hereafter come to our attention or to reflect any changes in any law that may hereafter occur or become effective. Moreover, our opinions are not a guarantee of result and are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service (the "Service"); rather, such opinions represent our legal judgment based upon our review of existing law and in reliance upon the representations and covenants referenced above that we deem relevant to such opinions. The Service has an ongoing audit program to determine compliance with rules that relate to whether interest on state or local obligations is includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes. No assurance can be given whether or not the Service will commence an audit of the Bonds. If an audit is commenced, in accordance with its current published procedures the Service is likely to treat the City as the taxpayer. We observe that the City has covenanted in the Ordinance not to take any action, or omit to take any action within its control, that if taken or omitted, respectively, may result in the treatment of interest on the Bonds as includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES A. FEDERAL GRANTS In the nonnal course of operations, the City receives grant funds from various federal and state agencies. The grant programs are subject to audits by agents of the granting authodty to ensure compliance with conditions precedent to the granting of funds. Any liability for reimbursement which may arise as the result of audits of grants is not believed to be significant B. LITIGATION The City is currently involved in the following lawsuits which could have an impact on the financial position if the City is found liable. Adams. et al v. City of Lubbock: The City of Lubbock has been sued by numerous firefighters employed by the City of Lubbock. They are claiming that the City of Lubbock did not properly pay its firefighters for "move-up" pay pursuant to the Civil Service Act. Pursuant to the Civil Service Act, firefighters can move-up and perform temporary duties in higher classifications. When they perfonn these duties they are entitled to the pay of the higher classification. While the City has paid them this higher pay, the plaintiffs assert they are also entitled to the "seniority pay" which they've earned at the lower classification. Their basis for this assertion is that the statute says that they are entitled to the base pay of the higher classification plus any "longevity or seniority pay". Both sides filed Motions for Summary Judgment in the trial court and the court ruled in favor of the plaintiffs. The City's Motion for Summary Judgment was denied. Plaintiffs were awarded damages, collectively, in the amount of $688,000 for damages through July 12, 2002, which includes pre-judgment interest. Plaintiffs were denied attorney's fees. The City of Lubbock appealed the trial court's decision to the appeUate court. On October 7, 2004, the Appeals Court reversed the judgment of the trial court and rendered a decision in favor of the City of Lubbock, holding that the City paid its employees properly under the Civil Service Act. Plaintiffs have appealed to the Texas Supreme Court and the Texas Supreme Court has requested full briefing on the issues. The Court has not made a determination as to whether or not it will hear the case. Barnard Construction Company, Inc. v. City of Lubbock: Plaintiff is a construction company suing the City of Lubbock for breach of contract. Plaintiff alleges the City owes it almost $2,400,000 for rock it excavated on a drainage project. They assert they are owed $204,000 for rock excavated on Line Al and assert they are owed almost $2,200,000 for rock excavated on other lines on the project. The City has agreed to pay for approximately $176,000 of rock excavated on Line A I. However, the City has denied that it owes Barnard any compensation for rock excavated on the other Lines. The City filed a Motion for Sllmmary Judgment as to this issue and a Trial Court ruled in the City's favor on September 28, 2005. Barnard has appealed this case to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. Oral arguments are set for March. Jeanette Livingston, et al v. City of Lubbock: Six (6) Plaintiffs filed suit against the City of Lubbock in 2004 alleging that the City and/or County failed to properly record information in its cemetery records that would indicate where their relatives were buried. Fifty-six additional Plaintiffs were added to the suit in November 2005. The City believes it has located where twenty-one (21) of such persons were interred. As to others, many were interred before the City owned the portion of the cemetery. The City acquired portions of the current cemetery between 1948 and 1959 and 92 C C C C ,. '- C C C C C C ) ) J ) ) J City of Lubbock, Texas Notes to Basic Financial Statements September 30, 2005 NOTE IV. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (Continued) B. LITIGATION (Continued) many of the deceased were clearly buried when other entities owned the cemetery. The City will assert it has no liability for their negligence in not recording the burial locations properly. The City will also assert that the Plaintiffs have no evidence that the City was negligent and didn't maintain records that showed where such persons were buried. For those persons who were buried while the City owned the cemetery and the City failed to properly record the burial location, there are a number of defenses. First, the City will assert that the statute of limitations has run. Second, the City will assert that this is a contractual issue and not a tort issue, thus giving standing only to those who were parties to the contract. Third, the City will assert that, if this is a tort issue, that this is a negligent infliction of emotional distress case and such cause of action was nullified by the Texas Supreme Court in 1993. Lastly, for those buried after 1970, the City has other defenses it will assert under the Texas Tort Claims Act At this time, damages are difficult to ascertain but, collectively, they would meet the $200,000 materiality definition for damages. Marvin Rodriguez v. LP&L: Plaintiff sued LP&L for negligently maintaining a line. Plainti~ an employee of Atmos Energy. was working around an LP&L Jine and suffered second degree bums over 5% of his body. He alleges that LP&L was negligent in not de-energizing the line since it was no longer in use. The City wilt assert that the Plaintiff was negligent for failing to contact LP&L and as to whether the line was energized. It is our understanding that Plaintiff was suspended by his own company for his negligent conduct. While we do not believe this suit has a potential exposure of over $200,000, we are including it in this discJosure as Plaintiff's demand was $325,000. C. SITE REMEDIATION The City has identified specific locations requiring site remediation relative to underground fuel storage tanks and historical fire training sites. As of September 30, 2005 the City identified three locations that posed a probable liability. The City recorded the liabilities for the three locations as follows: LP&L Plant I ($236,000), LP&L Cooke Plant ($326,000) and WesTex Aircraft ($300,000). The potential exposure for the remaining locations is not readily determinable as of September 30, 2005. In the opinion of management, the ultimate liability for these locations will not have a materially adverse effect on the City's financial position. 93 C C C C C C C C C C 94 C .,. __ ,, •• J ••••• 1~-7-: ¥",g. ) ) APPENDIXC FORM OF BOND COUNSEL'S OPINION ) J J ) [THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK} C C C C C C C C C C ,.. ...... ) ) ) ) ) Vinson&Elkins [FORM OF BOND COUNSEL OPINION] [Closing Date] $18,830,000 CITY OF LUBBOCK, TEXAS GENERAL OBLIGATION REFUNDING BONDS SERIES 2006 WE HAVE represented the City of Lubbock, Texas (the "City"), as its Bond Counsel in connection with an issue of bonds (the "Bonds") described as follows: CITY OF LUBBOCK, TEXAS GENERAL OBLIGATION REFUNDING BONDS, SERJES 2006, dated April 15, 2006, issued in the principal amount of $18,830,000. The Bonds mature, bear interest, are subject to redemption prior to maturity and may be transferred and exchanged as set out in the Bonds and in the ordinance, as amended, adopted by the City Council of the City authorizing their issuance (the "Ordinance"). WE HA VE represented the City as its Bond Counsel for the sole purpose of rendering an opinion with respect to the legality and validity of the Bonds under the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas and with respect to the exclusion of interest on the Bonds from gross income J for federal income tax purposes. We have not investigated or verified original proceedings, records, data or other material, but have relied solely upon the transcript of proceedings described in the following paragraph. We have not assumed any responsibility with respect to the financial condition or capabilities of the City or the disclosure thereof in connection with the sale of the Bonds. Our role in connection with the City's Official Statement prepared for use in connection with the sale of the Bonds has been limited as described therein. IN OUR CAPACITY as Bond Counsel, we have participated in the preparation of and have examined a transcript of certified proceedings pertaining to the Bonds, on which we have relied in giving our opinion. The transcript contains certified copies of certain proceedings of the City; an escrow agreement (the "Escrow Agreement") between the City and JPMorgan Chase ) Bank, National Association, as escrow agent (the "Escrow Agent"); a report (the "Report") of Grant Thornton LLP, Certified Public Accountants (the "Verification Agent"), verifying the sufficiency of the deposits made with the Escrow Agent for defeasance of the obligations being refunded (the "Refunded Obligations") and the mathematical accuracy of certain computations of the yield on the Bonds and obligations acquired with the proceeds of the Bonds; and J ) Vinson & Elkins LLP Attorneys at Law Austin Beijing Dallas Dubai Houston LOOCIO/l Moscow NewYork Tokyo Washington Trammell Crow Center. 2001 Ross Avenue, Suite 3700 Dallas.

We have also examined executed Bond No. 1 of this issue. BASED ON SUCH EXAMINATION, IT IS OUR OPINION THAT: (A) The transcript of certified proceedings evidences complete legal authority for the issuance of the Bonds in full compliance with the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas presently effective and, therefore, the Bonds constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the City; (B) A continuing ad valorem tax upon all taxable property within the City, necessary to pay the interest on and principal of the Bonds, has been levied and pledged irrevocably for such purposes, within the limit prescribed by law, and the total indebtedness of the City, including the Bonds, does not exceed any constitutional, statutory or other limitations; and (C) Firm banking and financial arrangements have been made for the discharge and final payment of the Refwided Obligations pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, and therefore, the Refunded Obligations are deemed to be fully paid and no longer outstanding except for the purpose of being paid from the funds provided therefor in such Escrow Agreement. THE RIGHTS OF THE OWNERS of the Bonds are subject to the applicable provisions of the federal bankruptcy laws and any other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors of political subdivisions generally, and may be limited by general principles of equity which permit the exercise of judicial discretion. IT IS OUR FURTHER OPINION THAT: (1) Interest on the Bonds is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes under existing law; and (2) The Bonds are not "private activity bonds" within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and interest on the Bonds is not subject to the alternative minimum tax on individuals and corporations, except that interest on the Bonds will be included in the "adjusted current earnings" of a corporation ( other than an S corporation, regulated investment company, REIT, REMIC or FASIT) for purposes of computing its alternative minimum tax liability. In providing such opinions, we have relied on representations of the City, the City's financial advisor and the underwriter of the Bonds with respect to matters solely within the knowledge of the City, the City's financial advisor and the underwriter respectively, which we Final OS opinion.DOC -2- C C C C C C C C C 0 C ) ) ) ) V&£ have not independently verified, and have assumed continuing compliance with the covenants in the Ordinance pertaining to those sections of the Code that affect the exclusion from gross income of interest on the Bonds for federal income tax purposes. We have further relied on the Report of the Verification Agent regarding the mathematical accuracy of certain computations. If such representations or the Report are determined to be inaccurate or incomplete or the City fails to comply with the foregoing provisions of the Ordinance, interest on the Bonds could become includable in gross income from the date of original delivery, regardless of the date on which the event causing such inclusion occurs. Except as stated above, we express no opinion as to any federal, state or local tax consequences resulting from the receipt or accrual of interest on, or acquisition, ownership or disposition of, the Bonds. Owners of the Bonds should be aware that the ownership of tax-exempt obligations may result in collateral federal income tax consequences to financial institutions, life insurance and property and casualty insurance companies, certain S corporations with Subchapter C earnings and profits, individual recipients of Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits, taxpayers who may be deemed to have incurred or continued indebtedness to purchase or carry tax-exempt obligations, taxpayers owning an interest in a F ASIT that holds tax-exempt obligations and individuals otherwise qualifying for the earned income credit. In addition, certain foreign corporations doing business in the United States may be subject to the "'branch profits tax" on their effectively-connected earnings and profits {including tax-exempt interest such as interest on the Bonds). The opinions set forth above are based on existing law, which is subject to change. Such opinions are further based on our knowledge of facts as of the date hereof. We assume no duty to update or supplement these opinions to reflect any facts or circumstances that may hereafter come to our attention or to reflect any changes in any law that may hereafter occur or become effective. Moreover, our opinions are not a guarantee of result and are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service (the "Service"); rather, such opinions represent our legal judgment based upon our review of existing law and in reliance upon the representations and covenants referenced above that we deem relevant to such opinions. The Service has an ongoing audit program to determine compliance with rules that relate to whether interest on state or local obligations is inc1udable in gross income for federal income tax purposes. No assurance can be given whether or not the Service will commence an audit of the Bonds. If an audit is commenced, in accordance with its current published procedures the Service is likely to treat the City as the taxpayer. We observe that the City has covenanted in the Ordinance not to take any action, or omit to take any action within its control, that if taken or omitted, respectively, may result in the treatment of interest on the Bonds as includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes.

These schedules indicate that there will be sufficient cash available in the escrow account to pay the principal and interest on the Refunded Certificates assuming the Refunded Certificates will be redeemed on February 15, 2011 at 100 percent of par plus accrued interest. The attached Exhibit A (Schedule of Sowces and Uses of Funds) was compiled based upon information provided by the Financial Advisor. As part of our engagement to recalculate the schedules attached as Appendix I we prepared schedules attached hereto as Exhibits B through B-3 independently calculating future escrow account cash receipts and disbursements and compared the information used in our calculations to the information listed below contained in applicable pages of the following documents: • Subscription confirmation, dated May 11, 2006, and Schedule of U.S. Treasury Securities provided by the Financial Advisor used to acquire certain United States Treasury Securities - State and Local Government Series (the "SLGS") insofar as the SLGS are described as to the principal amounts, interest rates, maturity dates, issuance date and fust interest payment date; and Ordinance for the Refunded Certificates provided by the Financial Advisor insofar as the Refunded Certificates are described as to the maturity and interest payment dates, principal amounts, interest rates and optional redemption date and price. Io addition, we compared the interest rates for each maturity of the SLGS, as shown on the Schedule of U.S. Treasury Securities, with the maximum allowable interest rates shown on the Department of Treasury, Bureau of Public Debt, SLGS Table (Fonn PD 4262) for use on May 11, 2006 and found that the interest rates were less than or equal to the maximum allowable interest rates for each maturity. 0Ul' procedures, as summarized in Exhibits B through B-3, prove the mathematical accuracy of the schedules provided by the Financial Advisor summarizing future escrow account cash receipts and disbursements. The schedules provided by the Financial Advisor and those prepared by us reflect that the anticipated receipts from the SLGS, together with an initial cash deposit of $0.64 to be deposited into the escrow account on June 20, 2006, will be sufficient to pay, when due, the principal and interest related to the Refunded Certificates assuming the Refunded Certificates will be redeemed on February 15, 2011 at 100 percent of par plus accrued interest. ) ) ) Page 3 VERIFICATION OF YIELDS The Financial Advisor provided us with schedules (Appendix I) which indicate that the yield on the cash receipts from the SLGS purchased with Bond proceeds is less than the yield on the Bonds. These schedules were prepared based on the assumed settlement date of June 20, 2006 using a 360- day year with interest compounded semi-annually. The term "yield", as used herein, means that yield which, when used in computing the present value of all payments of principal and interest to be paid or received on an obligation produces an amount equal to, in the case of the cash receipts from the SLGS purchased with Bond proceeds, the purchase price, and in the case of the Bonds, the issue price adjusted for the bond insurance premium of $63,013.15. In addition, we found that the schedules provided by the Financial Advisor, which assume the redemption of the February 15, 2029 maturity identified on Exhibits C and C-1 at p:u on February 15, 2016 plus accrued interest, correctly treat those Bonds as yield-to-call Bonds as retired on the respective dates that for each Bond produces the lowest yield for the issue that includes the Bonds. Those Bonds identified as yield-to-call Bonds on the attached Exhibits C and C-1 are those Bonds that are subject to optional redemption and that are issued at an issue price that exceeds the stated redemption price at maturity of such Bonds by more than one-fourth of one percent multiplied by the product of the stated redemption price at maturity of such Bonds and the number of complete years to the first optional redemption date for the Bonds. We found that there are no other yidd-to-call Bonds other than those identified on the attached Exhibits C and C-1. As part of our engagement to recalculate the schedules attached as Appendix I we prepared schedules attached hereto as Exhibits B-1 and C independently calculating the yields on (i) the cash receipts from the SLGS purchased with Bond proceeds calculated on Exhibit B-1, and (ii) the Bonds using the Official Statement provided by the Financial Advisor insofar as the Bonds are described as to the maturity and interest payment dates, dated date, principal amounts, interest rates, optional redemption date and price, and issue price to the public. The results of our calculations, based on the aforementioned assumptions, are summarized below: • Yield on the cash receipts from the SLGS purchased with Bond proceeds • Yield on the Bonds Yield 4.807398% 4.807982% Exhibit B-1 C Our procedures, as swnmarized in Exhibits B-1 and C, prove the mathematical accuracy of the schedules provided by the Financial Advisor swnmarizing the yields. The schedules provided by the Financial Advisor and those prepared by us reflect that the yield on the cash receipts from the SLGS purchased with Bond proceeds is less than the yield on the Bonds. * * * * * * ) ) ) ) Page 4 We were not engaged to, and did not, perform an examination in accordance with Statements on Standards for Attestation Engagements established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the objective of which would be the expression of an examination opinion on the items referred to above.

By: ibhnd!O~ Authorized Offi.cd.- 0 FEDERAL TAX CERTIFICATE I, the undersigned officer of the City of Lubbock, Texas (the "City''), make this certification for the benefit of all persons interested in the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of the interest to be paid on the City's General Obligation Refunding Bonds, Series 2006 (the "Bonds"), which are being issued in the aggregate principal amount of $18,830,000 and delivered simultaneously with the delivery of this certificate. I do ) hereby certify as follows in good faith on the date of issue of the Bonds: 1. Responsible Officer. I am the duly chosen, qualified and acting officer of the City for the office shown below my signature; as such, I am familiar with the facts herein certified and I am duly authorized to execute and deliver this certificate on behalf of the City. I am the officer of the City charged, along with other officers of the City, with responsibility for issuing the Bonds. 2. Code and Regulations. I am aware of the provisions of sections 141, 148, 149 and 150 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code''), and the Treasury Regulations (the "Regulations") heretofore promulgated under sections 141, 148, 149 and 150 of the Code.

Definitions. The capitalized terms used in this certificate (unless otherwise defined) that are defined in the ordinance authorizing the issuance of the Bonds adopted April 26, 2006, as amended by the ordinance adopted May 18, 2006 (together, the "Ordinance") shall for all purposes hereof have the meanings therein specified. All such terms defined in the Code or Regulations shall for all purposes hereof have the same meanings as given to those tenns in the Code and Regulations unless the context clearly requires otherwise. 4. Reasonable Expectations. The facts and estimates that are set forth in this certificate are accurate. The expectations that are set forth in this certificate are reasonable in light of such facts and estimates. There are no other facts or estimates that would materially change such expectations. In connection with this certificate, the undersigned has to the extent necessary reviewed the certifications set forth herein with other representatives of the City as to such accuracy and reasonableness. The undersigned has also relied, to the extent appropriate, on representations set forth in the certificate of A.G. Edwards & Sons, Inc., the Underwriter that has purchased the Bonds (the "Underwriter"), attached hereto as Exhibit A, the certificate of First Southwest Company, the City's financial advisor, attached hereto as Exhibit B, and the report (the "Report") of Grant Thornton LLP, certified public accountants, dated June 20, 2006. The undersigned is aware of no fact, estimate or circumstance that would create any doubt regarding the accuracy or reasonableness of all or any portion of such documents. 5. Description of Governmental Purpose. The City is issuing the Bonds pursuant to the Ordinance (a) to provide funds that will be used to advance refund and defease a portion of the City's Tax and Municipal Drainage Utility System Surplus Revenue Certificates of Obligation, Series 2001 (the "Prior Bonds"), pursuant to the escrow agreement dated May 15, 2006 between the City and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (the "Escrow Dallas 1132831 v.2 ) Agreement'') and (b) to pay the costs of issuance of the Bonds. The Report details all relevant aspects of the application of the proceeds of the Bonds and the City's program to refund the Prior Bonds. Specifically, all of the Prior Bonds maturing on February 15, 2023, February 15, 2026 and February 15, 2031, in the amount of$18,015,000 (collectively, the "Refunded Bonds") will be called for redemption and retired with proceeds of the Bonds. The Refunded Bonds are being defeased in order to achieve a present-value savings in the debt service payable by the City. February 15, 2011 is the first date on which the Refunded Bonds are subject to optional redemption and on such date all of the Refunded Bonds will be called for redemption in advance of their scheduled maturities and retired with proceeds of the Bonds. The Bonds are the first advance refunding of the Refunded Bonds, all of which are original bonds. 6. The Prior Bonds. No portion of the purchase price of any of the Prior Bonds was provided by the issuance of any other issue of obligations. All of the original and investment proceeds allocable to the Prior Bonds have been expended. No portion of the proceeds of the Prior Bonds was used to pay the principal of, or interest on, any other issue of governmental obligations. In addition, other than to the extent of preliminary expenditures (i.e., architectural, engineering, smveying, soil testing, reimbursement bond issuance, and similar costs that are incurred prior to commencement of acquisition, construction, or rehabilitation of a project, other than land acquisition, site preparation, and similar costs incident to commencement of construction), no portion of the proceeds of the Prior Bonds was used to reimburse the City for any expenditures made by the City prior to the issuance date of the Prior Bonds. The City has maintained a debt service fund for the Prior Bonds and other general obligation debt of the City (the "Prior Debt Service Fund") and has on hand in such Prior Debt Service Fund certain amounts that were to be used for the payment of debt service on the Prior Bonds. Although the Prior Debt Service Fund will be continued for the payment of debt service on the Prior Bonds that are not Refunded Bonds (the "Unrefunded Bonds") and other outstanding debt of the City, the City has created a new debt service fund (the ''Debt Service Fund") under the Ordinance for purposes of the payment of debt service on the Bonds as described in paragraph 16 below. The balance in the Prior Debt Service Fund as of the date of this certificate is approximately $1,575,272. Not more than $325,322.62 of the aforementioned amount in the Prior Debt Service Fund is allocable to the Refunded Bonds, such allocation being based on the relationship of the original principal amounts of the Refunded Bonds and the Unrefunded Bonds ($18,015,000/$87,231,945 or 20.6518 percent). Of the amount on deposit in the Debt Service Fund, $474,200 (the "Available Cash") is an amount that together with earnings thereon would have been used to pay debt service on the Refunded Bonds on August 15, 2006, the only debt service payment date for the Refunded Bonds which precedes the collection of tax revenues for the next fiscal year. 7. Use of Amounts Allocable to Refunded Bonds. Other than amounts described in paragraph 6 above, there are no amounts on hand that represent proceeds of the Refunded Bonds, replacement proceeds of the Refunded Bonds or accumulated earnings on such proceeds. The amount of $339,198.47 of the Available Cash will be deposited in the Escrow Fund on the date hereof and used to purchase United States Treasury Certificates of Indebtedness and Notes, State and Local Government Series (the "Unrestricted Escrowed Securities") which are allocable to -2- 1132831_2.DOC Dallas 113283 I v.2 ) the escrowed securities with the shortest maturities, the proceeds of which will be used to pay the principal of, and interest and redemption premium, if any, on, the Refunded Bonds. The remainder of the Available Cash will be used on August 15, 2006, to pay debt service on the Unrefunded Bonds. The remainder of the Available Cash will be transferred by the City to the Debt Service Fund based on the recommendation of the Financial Advisor, set forth in Exhibit B hereto, that such balance should be maintained in the City's Debt Service Fund with respect to the Bonds to provide a reserve for periodic fluctuations in the amount and timing of ad valorem tax collections. 8. Expepditure of Proceeds of the Bonds. The sale proceeds from the issuance of the Bonds will be $18,682,482.40. Such amount represents the stated redemption price at maturity (excluding accrued interest for those Bonds the interest on which is paid at least once annually) of the Bonds, equal to $18,830,000, less an original issue discount in the amount of$147,517.60. No portion of the purchase price of any of the Bonds is provided by the issuance of any other issue of obligations. The sale proceeds will be expended as follows: (a) The amount of $18,348,279.00 will be deposited in the escrow fund established pursuant to the Escrow Agreement (the "Escrow Fund") and used on the date hereof to pW'Chase United States Treasury Certificates of Indebtedness and Notes, State and Local Government Series (the "Escrowed Securities"), the proceeds of which will be used as described in the Report to pay the principal of, and interest and redemption premium, if any, on, the Refunded Bonds. No portion of the proceeds of the Bonds is expected to be used to pay any interest on, or principal of, any issue of governmental obligations other than the Bonds and the Refunded Bonds. (b) The amount of$124,726.43 will be allocated on the date of issuance of the Bonds to the Underwriter's discount or compensation. (c) The amount of$145,000.00 will be disbursed to pay other costs ofissuance on the Bonds (including any rating agency fees charged to the City by the Bond insurer). (d) The a.mount of$63,013.15 will be disbursed to pay the insurance premium on the Bonds (net of any rating agency fees). (e) The amount of $1,463.65 represents a rounding amount and will be deposited in the Debt Service Fund and used to pay debt service on the Bonds on the first interest payment date. (f) The amount of $0.17 will be deposited as the initial cash balance in the Escrow Fund and disbursed on August 15, 2006, to pay debt service on the Refunded Bonds. Pending disbursement, such amount will not be invested. 9. Pre-issuance Accrued Interest. The City will also receive from the Underwriter on the issuance date of the Bonds the amount of $86,240.97, representing accrued interest on the Bonds from May 15, 2006, through the date of delivery. Such amount will be deposited in the Debt Service Fund, and will be disbursed on August 15, 2006, to pay interest on the Bonds. 1132831...2.00C Dallas I 132831 v.2 -3- 0 10. Investment Proceeds. The amounts described in paragraphs 8(b), 8(d) and 8(t) will not be invested. Except for earnings on the amounts described in paragraphs 8( c) and 8( e) all amounts received by the City, such as interest and dividends, resulting from the investment of any original proceeds or investment proceeds of the Bonds will be deposited in the Escrow Fund for the Refunded Bonds and used to pay the principal of, and interest and redemption premium, if any, on, the Refunded Bonds. Earnings on the amounts described in paragraphs 8(c) and 8(e) will be used for one of the purposes described in such paragraphs. 11. Transferred Proceeds. There are no transferred proceeds with respect to the Bonds because all of the proceeds of Refunded Bonds have been or will be expended prior to the first dates on which amounts are disbursed from the Escrow Fund to pay principal of the Refunded Bonds. 12. No Rg,lacement Proceeds. Other than amounts described herein, there are no amounts that have a sufficiently direct nexus to the Bonds or to the governmental purposes of the Bonds, including the expected use of amounts to pay debt service on the Refunded Bonds, that the amounts would have been used for such purpose if the proceeds of the Bonds were not used or to be used for such purpose. (a) No Sinking Funds. Other than to the extent of the Debt Service Fund, there is no debt service fund, redemption fund, reserve fund, replacement fund, or similar fund reasonably expected to be used directly or indirectly to pay principal or interest on the Bonds. (b) No Pledged Fwids. Other than amounts in the Debt Service Fund, there is no amount that is directly or indirectly, other than solely by reason of the mere availability or preliminary earmarking, pledged to pay principal or interest on the Bonds, or to a guarantor of part or all of the Bonds, such that such pledge provides reasonable assurance that such amount will be available to pay principal or interest on the Bonds if the City encounters financial difficulty. For purposes of this certification, an amount is treated as so pledged if it is held under an agreement to maintain the amount at a particular level for the direct or indirect benefit of the holders or the guarantor of the Bonds. (c) No Other Replacement Proceeds. There are no other replacement proceeds allocable to the Bonds because the City reasonably expects that the term of the Bonds will not be longer than is reasonably necessary for the governmental purposes of the Bonds. The Bonds would be issued to achieve a debt service savings independent of any arbitrage benefit as evidenced by the expectation that the Bonds reasonably would have been issued if the interest on the Bonds were not excludable from gross income (assuming that the hypothetical taxable interest rate would be the same as the actual tax-exempt interest rate). Furthermore, even if the Bonds were outstanding longer than necessary for the purpose of the Bonds, no replacement proceeds will arise because the City reasonably expects that no amounts will become available during the period that the Bonds remain outstanding longer than necessary based on the reasonable expectations of the City as to the amounts and timing of future revenues. (d) Weighted Average Maturity. The weighted average maturity of the Bonds does not exceed the remaining weighted average maturity of the Refunded Bonds and the weighted average maturity of the Refunded Bonds is not greater than 120 percent of the weighted average -4~ 1I3283I_2.DOC Dallas l 13283lv.2 estimated economic life of the portion of the project financed by the Refunded Bonds, determined in accordance with section 147(b) of the Code. Such weighted average estimated economic life is detennined in accordance with the following assumptions: (a) The weighted average was determined by taking into account the respective costs of each of the assets financed by the Refunded Bonds; (b) the reasonably expected economic life of an asset was determined as of the later of the date hereof or the date on which such asset is expected to be placed in service (i.e., available for use for the intended purposes of such asset); (c) the economic lives used in making this determination are not greater than the useful lives used for depreciation under section 167 of the Code prior to the enactment of the current system of depreciation in effect under section 168 of the Code (i.e., the ''mid-point lives") under the asset depreciation range ("ADR") system of section 167(m) of the Code, as set forth in Revenue Procedure 83-35, 1983-1 C.B. 745, where applicable, and the "guideline lives" under Revenue Procedure 62-21, 1962-2 C.B. 418, in the case of structures; and ( d) land or any interest therein has not been taken into account in determining the average reasonably expected economic life of such Project, unless 25 percent or more of the net proceeds of any issue is to be used to finance land. 13. No Excess Gross Proceeds. Except for the amounts described in paragraph 8(e) above and earnings on the amounts described in paragraphs 8(c) and 8(e) above, all gross proceeds of the Bonds are allocable to: (a) the payment of principal, interest or-call premium on the Refunded Bonds as described in paragraph 8(a) above; (b) the payment of pre-issuance accrued interest on the Bonds as described in paragraph 9 above; (c) the payment of costs of issuance of the Bonds as described in paragraph 8(b) and 8(c) above; (d) a reasonably required reserve or replacement fund as described in paragraph 7 above and paragraph 16 below; ( e) the payment of administrative costs allocable to repaying the Refunded Bonds, carrying and repaying the Bonds or investments of the Bonds; (f) transferred proceeds allocable to expenditures for the governmental purpose of the Refunded Bonds as described in paragraph 7 above; (g) replacement proceeds in a sinking fund for the Bonds; and (h) qualified guarantee fees for the Bonds. Investment earnings on the amounts described in paragraphs 8(c) and 8(e) are expected to be de minimis; therefore, the sum of the investment earnings on the amounts described in paragraphs 8(c) and 8(e), the amount described in paragraph 8(e) and the amount described in paragraph I O will be less than one percent of the original proceeds of the Bonds. 1132831_2.DOC Dallas 1132831 v.2 -5- 14. Yield on the Bonds. For the purposes of this certificate, the yield on the Bonds is the discount rate that, when used in computing the present value as of the issue date of the Bonds, of all unconditionally payable payments of principal, interest and fees for qualified guarantees on the Bonds, produces an amount equal to the present value, using the same discount rate, of the aggregate issue price of the Bonds as of the issue date. For purposes of detennining the yield on the Bonds, the issue price of the Bonds is the sum of the issue prices for each group of substantially identical Bonds. For each group of substantially identical Bonds, the issue price is the first price at which a substantial amount (i.e., ten percent) is sold to the public ( excluding bond houses, brokers, or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters and wholesalers). Based upon the representations of the Underwriter set forth in Exhibit A hereto, the issue price (including accrued interest to the date of issue only) of the Bonds aggregated $18,768,723.37. As set forth in paragraph 8( d) above, proceeds of the Bonds will be used to make a payment to Financial Guaranty htsurance Company (the "Insurer'') for municipal bond insurance for the Bonds. The fee paid to the Insurer is a qualified guarantee fee because: (a) As of the date hereof, the present value of the fees paid to the htsurer will be less than the present value of the expected interest savings on the Bonds as a result of the guarantee, computed using the yield on the Bonds ( determined with regard to such guarantee payments) as the discount rate; (b) The guarantee creates a guarantee in substance because it imposes a secondary liability on the Insurer that unconditionally (except for reasonable procedural or administrative requirements) shifts substantially all of the credit risk for all or part of the payments on the Bonds; (c) The htsurer is not a co-obligor and does not expect to make any payments other than payments for which the htsurer will be reimbursed immediately; (d) The Insurer and any related parties will not use more than ten percent of the gross proceeds of the Bonds that are guaranteed by the Insurer; (e) The fees paid or to be paid to the Insurer do not exceed a reasonable ann's length charge for the transfer of credit risk; (t) The fees paid or to be paid to the Insurer do not include any payment for any direct or indirect services other than the transfer of credit risk (including fees for the Insurer's overhead and other costs relating to the transfer of credit risk); (g) The fees paid or to be paid to the htsurer do not include any payments for the costs of underwriting or remarketing the Bonds or for the cost of insurance for casualty to the City's property; and (h) No portion of the fees paid or to be paid to the Insurer is refundable upon redemption of the Bonds before the final maturity date in an amount that would exceed the portion of such fees that had not been earned. -6- 1132831_2.DOC Dallas 113283l v.2 D The yield with respect to that portion of the Bonds subject to optional redemption (other than a portion of the Bonds scheduled to mature in the year 2029 (the ''Yield-to-Call Bonds,')) is computed by treating such Bonds as retired at the stated redemption price at the final maturity date because ( a) the City has no present intention to redeem prior to maturity the Bonds which are subject to optional redemption; (b) no Bond is subject to optional redemption at any time for a price less than the retirement price at final maturity plus accrued interest; (c) no Bond is subject to optional redemption within five years of the issue date of the Bonds; (d) no Bond subject to optional redemption is issued at an issue price that exceeds the stated redemption price at maturity of such Bond by more than one-fourth of one percent multiplied by the product of the stated redemption price at maturity of such Bond and the number of complete years to the first optional redemption date for such Bond; and ( e) no Bond subject to optional redemption bears interest at a rate that increases during the term of the Bond. No Bond is subject to mandatory early redemption. Yield with respect to the Yield-to-Call Bonds is computed by treating such Bonds as retired at the stated redemption price on the dates that produce the lowest combined yield on the Bonds because the Underwriter has represented that such portion of the Bonds is issued at an issue price that exceeds the stated redemption price at maturity of each such Bond by more than one-fourth of one percent multiplied by the product of the stated redemption price at maturity of each such Bond and the number of complete years to the first optional redemption date for each such Bond. Such lowest yield determination is made separately for each individual group of Bonds. In the case of Term Bonds with a final maturity date of February 15, 2029 and February 15, 2031 that are subject to mandatory redemption, the yield on the Bonds is calculated by treating the outstanding stated principal amounts payable on the mandatory redemption dates as payments on such dates because the Underwriter has represented that the stated redemption price at maturity of such Tenn Bonds does not exceed the issue price of such Term Bonds by more than one-fourth of one percent multiplied by the product of the stated redemption price at maturity and the number of years to the date of the weighted average maturity ( determined by taking into account the mandatory redemption schedule) of such Tenn Bonds. The yield on the Bonds calculated in this manner, as shown in the Report, is 4.807982 percent. The City has not entered into a hedging transaction with respect to the Bonds. The City will not enter into a hedging transaction with respect to the Bonds unless there is first received an opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel to the effect that such hedging transaction will not adversely affect the exclusion of interest on the Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes. 15. Temporary Periods and Yield Restriction. (a} Pre-issuance Accrued Interest. The amount described in paragraph 9 represents accrued interest on the Bonds for a period not in excess of one year and will be expended within one year; therefore, such amount may be invested at an unrestricted yield. 1132831_2.DOC Dallas 1132831 v.2 -7- (b) Uninvested Amounts. The amounts described in paragraphs 8(b) and 8(f) will not be invested and, therefore, are not subject to yield restriction. (c) Issuance Costs. To the extent any portion of the amount described in paragraph 8(c) is not expended as described herein, the City will take steps to restrict the investment of such amounts to a yield which is not materially higher than the yield on the Bonds. ( d) Rounding Amount. The amount described in paragraph 8( e) will be invested at a yield that is not higher than the yield on the Bonds. (e) Available Cash. The amount described in paragraph 7 which is used to purchase the Escrowed Securities will be disbursed within 13 months of the date such Available Cash was received by the City. Therefore, such amount will be invested for an allowable temporary period. Yield on the Escrowed Securities. The yield on the Escrowed Securities is computed using the same compounding interval and financial conventions used to compute the yield on the Bonds. The yield on the Escrowed Securities is the discount rate that, when used in computing the present value as of the date the Escrowed Securities were first allocated to the Bonds of all unconditionally payable receipts to be actually or constructively received from the Escrowed Securities, produces an amount equal to the amounts to be actually or constructively paid for the Escrowed Securities. The Escrowed Securities are all yield-restricted nonpurpose investments that are a single class of investments and that are treated as a single investment because all of the Escrowed Securities were purchased with Bond proceeds and held in a refunding escrow as described in paragraph 8(a) above. The City has allocated gross proceeds of the Bonds in the amount described in section 1.148-6( c) of the Regulations. Such purchase price is equal to the price paid by the City to the United States for the Escrowed Securities. As shown in the Report, the yield on the Escrowed Securities determined in this manner is 4.807398 percent, a yield that is not higher than the yield on the Bonds. The City has covenanted in the Ordinance to comply with, among other things, the requirements of section l 48(f) of the Code and, if required, the City will satisfy this requirement with respect to earnings ·on the Escrowed Securities out of funds other than those in the Escrow Fund. (f) Waiver of 30-Day Temporary Period. Pursuant to section l.148-9(g) of the Regulations, the City hereby elects to waive the 30-day temporary period available under section 1.148-9( d)(2)(i) of the Regulations. 16. Debt Service Fund. Pursuant to the Ordinance, the City has created a new debt service fund designated the "City of Lubbock, Texas General Obligation Refunding Bonds, Series 2006, Debt Service Fund" (i.e., the Debt Service Fund) and the proceeds from all taxes levied, assessed and collected for and on account of the Bonds are to be deposited in such Debt Service Fund. The City expects that taxes levied, assessed and collected for and on account of the Bonds will be sufficient each year to pay such debt service. All amounts which will be depleted at least once each bond year, except for a reasonable carryover amount not in excess of the greater of the earnings on such portion of the Debt Service Fund for the immediately -8- 1132831_2.00C:: Dallas 1132831 v.2 preceding bond year or one-twelfth of the principal and interest payments on the Bonds for the immediately preceding bond year, will constitute a bona fide debt service fund component of the Debt SeIVice Fund (the "Bona Fide Portion"). Such Bona Fide Portion of the Debt Service Fund will be used primarily to achieve a proper matching of revenues and principal and interest payments on the Bonds within each bond year. Amounts held in the Bona Fide Portion of the Debt Service Fund will be invested at an unrestricted yield because such amounts will be expended within 13 months of the date such amounts are received. The remaining portion of the Debt Service Fund ( the "Reserve Portion"). if any, will be treated separately for purposes of this certificate. Amounts on deposit from time to time in the Bona Fide Portion and the Reserve Portion are allocable between the Bonds and any other obligations of the City secured by the Debt Service Fund on the basis of one of the methods set forth in section 1.148-6( e )( 6) of the Regulations. The portion of the Reserve Portion allocable to the Bonds will not exceed at any time the least of (a) ten percent of the stated principal amount of the Bonds (or sale proceeds in the event that the amount of original issue discount exceeds two percent multiplied by the stated redemption price at maturity of the Bonds), (b) the maximum annual principal and interest requirements of the Bonds, and (c) 125 percent of average annual principal and interest requirements of the Bonds. Therefore, all amounts therein may be invested at an unrestricted yield. Any amounts held in the Bona Fide Portion for longer than 13 months or held in the Reserve Portion in excess of the least of the amounts described above, will be invested in obligations the yield on which is not in excess of the yield on the Bonds. 17. Waiver of Minor Portion. Pursuant to section l .148-9{g) of the Regulations, the City hereby elects to waive the minor portion available under section l.148-9(f) of the Regulations. 18. Issue. There are no other obligations which {a) are sold at substantially the same time as the Bonds (i.e., within 15 days), (b) are sold pursuant to the same plan of financing with the Bonds, and { c) will be paid out of substantially the same source of funds as the Bonds. 19. Compliance With Rebate Requirements. The City has covenanted in the Ordinance that it will take all necessary steps to comply with the requirement that ''rebatable arbitrage earnings" on the investment of the "gross proceeds" of the Bonds, within the meaning of section 148{f) of the Code be rebated to the federal government Specifically, the City will (a) maintain records regarding the investment of the "gross proceeds" of the Bonds as may be required to calculate such ''rebatable arbitrage earnings" separately from records of amounts on deposit in the funds and accounts of the City which are allocable to other bond issues of the City or moneys which do not represent "gross proceeds" of any bonds of the City, (b) calculate at such intervals as may be required by applicable Regulations, the amount of "rebatable arbitrage earnings," if any, earned from the investment of the "gross proceeds" of the Bonds and (c) pay, not less often than every fifth anniversary date of the delivery of the Bonds and within 60 days following the final maturity of the Bonds, or on such other dates required or pennitted by applicable Regulations, all amounts required to be rebated to the federal government. The City will maintain a copy of any such calculations, and all documentation necessary to produce such calculations or necessary to establish qualification for an exemption from the need to produce such calculations, for at least six years after the close of the final calendar year during which any Bond is outstanding. Further, the City will not indirectly pay any amount otheJWise payable to -9- 1132831_2.DOC Danas 113283 I v.2 C the federal government pursuant to the foregoing requirements to any person other than the federal government by entering into any investment arrangement with respect to the "gross proceeds" of the Bonds that might result in a reduction in the amount required to be paid to the federal government because such arrangement results in a smaller profit or a larger loss than would have resulted if the arrangement had been at arm's-length and had the yield on the issue not been relevant to either party. 20. Not an Abusive Transaction. (a) General. No action taken in connection with the issuance of the Bonds is or will have the effect of ( a) enabling the City to exploit, other than during an allowable temporary period, the difference between tax-exempt and taxable interest rates to obtain a material financial advantage (including as a result of an investment of any portion of the gross proceeds of the Bonds over any period of time, notwithstanding that, in the aggregate, the gross proceeds of the Bonds are not invested in higher yielding investments over the tenn of the Bonds), and (b) overburdening the tax-exempt bond market by issuing more bonds, issuing bonds earlier, or allowing bonds to remain outstanding longer than is otherwise reasonably necessary to accomplish the governmental purposes of the Bonds, based on all the facts and circwnstances. Specifically, (i) the primary purpose of each transaction undertaken in connection with the issuance of the Bonds is a bona fide governmental purpose; (ii) each action taken in connection with the issuance of the Bonds would reasonably be taken to accomplish the governmental purposes of the Bonds if the interest on the Bonds were not excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes (assuming the hypothetical taxable interest rate would be the same as the actual tax-exempt interest rate on the Bonds); (iii) the proceeds of the Bonds will not exceed by more than a minor portion the amount necessary to accomplish the governmental purposes of the Bonds and will in fact not be substantially in excess of the amount of proceeds allocated to expenditures for the governmental pwposes of the Bonds. (b) No Re-refunding. No portion of the Refunded Bonds has been refunded or def eased other than by reason of the issuance of the Bonds. (c) No Sinking Fund. No portion of the Bonds has a tenn that has been lengthened primarily for the purpose of creating a sinking fund or similar fund with respect to the Bonds and thereby eliminating significant amounts of negative arbitrage in the Escrow Fund. (d) No Noncallable Bonds. The Refunded Bonds do not include any noncallable Refunded Bonds that have been refunded in order to invest proceeds in the Escrow Fund allocable to the noncallable Refunded Bonds at a yield th.at is higher than the yield on the Bonds and thereby eliminate significant amounts of negative arbitrage in the Escrow Fund. (e) No Window Refunding. No portion of the Bonds has been structured with maturity dates the primary purpose of which is to make available released revenues that will enable the City to avoid transferred proceeds or to make available revenues that may be invested to be ultimately used to pay debt service on another issue of obligations. (f) No Sale of Conduit Loan. No portion of the gross proceeds of the Refunded Bonds or the Bonds has been or will be used to acquire, finance, or refinance any conduit loan. -10- 1132831_2.00C Dallas 1132831 v.2 21. No Arbitrage. On the basis of the foregoing facts, estimates and circumstances, it is expected that the gross proceeds of the Bonds will not be used in a manner that would cause 0 any of the Bonds to be an "arbitrage bond" within the meaning of section 148 of the Code and the Regulations. To the best of the knowledge and belief of the undersigned, there are no other facts, estimates or circumstances that would materially change such expectations. 0 22. No Private Use, Payments or Loan Financing. (a) General. The City reasonably expects, as of the date hereof, that no action or event during the entire stated term of the Bonds will cause either the "private business tests" or the ''private loan :financing test," as such terms are defined in the Regulations, to be met. (i) No portion of the proceeds of the Bonds will be used and no portion of the proceeds of the Refunded Bonds has been used in a trade or business of a nongovernmental person. For purposes of determining use, the City will apply rules set forth in applicable Regulations and Revenue Procedures promulgated by the Internal Revenue Service, including, among others, the following rules: (A) Any activity carried on by a person other than a natural person or a state or local governmental unit will be treated as a trade or business of a nongovernmental person; (B) the use of all or any portion of the project financed by the Refunded Bonds (the "Project") is treated as the direct use of proceeds; (C) a nongovernmental person will be treated as a private business user of proceeds of the Bonds or the Refunded Bonds as a result of ownership, actual or beneficial use of the proceeds pursuant to a lease, or a management or incentive payment contract, or certain other arrangements such as a takt'>-Or-pay or other output-type contract; and (D) the private business use test is met ·if a nongovernmental person has special legal entitlements to use directly or indirectly the Project. (ii) The City has not taken and will not take any deliberate action that would cause or pennit the use of any portion of the Project to change such that such portion will be deemed to be used in the trade or business of a nongovernmental person for so long as any of the Bonds remains outstanding (or until an opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel is received to the effect that such change in use will not adversely affect the excludability from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest payable on the Bonds). For this purpose any action within the control of the City is treated as a deliberate action. A deliberate action occurs on the date the City enters into a binding contract with a nongovernmental person for use of the Project that is not subject to any material contingencies. (iii) All payments of the debt service on the Bonds will be paid from and secured by a generally applicable tax. For th.is purpose, a generally applicable tax is a tax (A) which is an enforced contribution exacted pursuant to legislative authority in the exercise of the taxing power that is imposed and collected for the purpose of raising revenue to be used for governmental purposes and (B) which has a uniform tax rate that is applied to all persons of the same classification in the appropriate jurisdiction using a generally applicable manner of determination and collection. No portion of the payment of the debt service on the Bonds will be directly or indirectly derived from payments (whether or not to the City or any related party) in respect of property, or borrowed money, used or to be used for a private business use. Furthermore, no portion of the payment of the debt service on the Bonds will be directly or 1132831_2.DOC Dallas 1132831 v.2 -11- -.,:, indirectly secured by any interest in property used or to be used for a private business use or payments in respect of property used or to be used for a private business use. (iv) No portion of the proceeds of the Bonds will be directly or indirectly used to make or finance a loan to any person other than a state or local governmental unit. Except to the extent permitted by section 141 of the Code and the Regulations and rulings thereunder, the City shall not use gross proceeds of the Bonds to make or finance loans to any person or entity other than a state or local government. For purposes of the foregoing covenant, gross proceeds are considered to be "loaned,, to a person or entity if (1) property acquired, constructed or improved with gross proceeds is sold or leased to such person or entity in a transaction which creates a debt for federal income tax purposes, (2) capacity in or service from such property is committed to such person or entity under a take-or-pay, output, or similar contract or arrangement, or (3) indirect benefits, or burdens and benefits of ownership, of such gross proceeds or such property are otherwise transferred in a transaction which is the economic equivalent of a loan. (b) DiSJ)Ositions of Personal Property in the Ordinary Course. The City does not reasonably expect that it will sell or otherwise dispose of personal property components of the Project financed with the Bonds other than in the ordinary course of an established governmental program that satisfies the following requirements: (i) The weighted average maturity of the portion of the Bonds financing personal property is not greater than 120 percent of the reasonably expected actual use of such personal property for governmental purposes; (ii) The reasonably expected fair market value of such personal property on the date of disposition will be not greater than 25 percent of its cost; (iii) Such personal property will no longer be suitable for its governmental purposes on the date of disposition; and (iv) The City is required to deposit amounts received from such disposition in a commingled fund with substantial tax or other governmental revenues and the City reasonably expects to spend such amounts on governmental programs within 6 months from the date of commingling. Furthermore, the City will not sell or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of the Project in circumstances in which the foregoing requirements are not satisfied unless it has received an opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel to the effect that such disposition will not adversely affect the treatment of interest on the Bonds as excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes. ( c) Other Agreements. The City will not enter into any agreement with any nongovernmental person regarding the use of all or any portion of the Project during the stated term of the Bonds unless it has received in each and every case an opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel to the effect that such agreement will not adversely affect the treatment of interest on the Bonds as excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes. -12- 1132831_2.DOC Dallas 1132831 v.2 0 23. Weighted Average Maturity. The Weighted Average Maturity of the Bonds set forth on Exhibit B attached to this Certificate is the sum of the products of the Issue Price of each group of identical Bonds and the number of years to maturity ( detennined separately for each group of identical Bonds and talcing into account mandatory redemptions), divided by the aggregate Sale Proceeds of the Bonds. 24. Bonds are not Hedge Bonds. The City represents that not more than 50 percent of the proceeds of the Refunded Bonds was invested in nonpurpose investments (as defined in section 148(f){6)(A) of the Code) having a substantially guaranteed yield for four years or more within the meaning of section 149(g)(3)(A)(ii) of the Code, and the City reasonably expected at the time the Refunded Bonds were issued that at least 85 percent of the spendable proceeds of such issue would be used to carry out the governmental purposes of such issue within the three- year period beginning on the date of issue of such Refunded Bonds. 1132831_2.DOC Dallas 1132831 v.2 EXECUTION PAGE FOLLOWS -13- 0 0 0 ) ' ) WITNESS MY HAND, this 20th day of June, 2006. Lubbock Tax Certificate.DOC Dallas 1132831 v.1 CITY OF LUBBOCK, TEXAS 0 0 EXHIBIT A CERTIFICATE OF UNDERWRITER A. G. Edwards & Sons, Inc. has acted as the underwriter (the "Underwriter") in connection with the sale and delivery of the City of Lubbock, Texas (the "City'') of General Obligation Refunding Bonds, Series 2006 in the aggregate principal amount of $18,830,000 (the "Bonds"). I, the undersigned, hereby certify as follows on behalf of the Underwriter: 1. I am the duly chosen, qualified and acting officer of the Underwriter for the office shown below my signature; as such, I am familiar with the facts herein certified and I am duly authorized to execute and deliver this certificate on behalf of the Underwriter. I am the officer of the Underwriter charged, along with other officers of the Underwriter, with responsibility for the Bonds. 2. The Underwriter has purchased the Bonds from the City pursuant to a Bond Purchase Agreement dated May 11, 2006, for an aggregate purchase price of $18,643,996.94, which price includes accrued interest in the amount of $86,240.97. The Underwriter has made a bona fide public offering to the public of all of the Bonds of each maturity at the issue prices to the public set out in the Report. The issue prices set forth in the Report were determined on the date the Bonds were purchased by the Underwriter based on the reasonable expectations regarding the initial public offering prices. The issue price for each maturity of the Bonds, as set forth in the Report, represents the first price (including original issue premium and discount and accrued interest to the issue date only) of the Bonds at which a substantial amount (at least 10 percent) of each such maturity was sold to the public. The aggregate of such issue prices of all of the Bonds is $18,768,723.37. The initial public offering prices described above do not exceed the fair market value for the Bonds on the sale date. The term ''public," as used herein, does not include bond.houses, brokers, dealers, and similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters or wholesalers. The Underwriter hereby authorizes the City to rely on the statements made herein in connection with making the representations set forth in the Federal Tax Certificate to which this certificate is attached and in its efforts to comply with the conditions imposed by the Code on the exclusion of interest on the Bonds from the gross income of their owners. The Underwriter hereby authorizes Vinson & Elkins L.L.P. to rely on this certificate for pwposes of its opinion regarding the treatment of interest on the Bonds as excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes.

I, the undersigned, hereby certify as follows: 1. I am the duly chosen, qualified and acting officer of the Financial Advisor for the office shown below my signature; as such, I am familiar with the facts herein certified and I am duly.authorized to execute and deliver this certificate on behalf of the Financial Advisor. I am the officer of the Financial Advisor charged, along with other officers of the Financial Advisor, with responsibility for issuing the Bonds. 2. Based upon the scheduled debt service on the Bonds and the Unrefunded Bonds, an amount of not less than $1,575,272 should be maintained as of the end of the current fiscal year as a balance in the City's Debt Service Fund consistent with accepted standards of prudent fiscal management for similar governmental issuers and in order to provide a reserve against periodic fluctuations in the amount and timing of ad valorem tax collections by the City for debt service purposes. Furthermore, neither the portion of such balance allocable to the Bonds nor the portion allocable to the Unrefunded Bonds exceeds the lesser of 100 percent of maximum annual debt service and 125 percent of average debt service on the Bonds and the Unrefunded Bonds, respectively. 3. The amount of $63,013.15 of the cost of insurance for the Bonds is set forth in Insurer's commitment and does not include any payment for any direct or indirect services other than the transfer of credit risk, unless the compensation for those other services is separately stated, reasonable, and excluded from such fee. Such fee does not exceed a reasonable, ann's length charge for the transfer of credit risk. The present value of the debt service savings expected to be realized as a result of such insurance exceeds the amount of the fee set forth above. For this purpose, present value is computed using the yield on the Bonds, determined by taking into account the amount of the fee set forth above, as the discount rate. No portion of the fee payable to the Insurer is refundable upon redemption of any of the Bonds in an amount which would exceed the portion of such fee that had not been earned. 4. The Financial Advisor computed the Weighted Average Maturity of the Bonds to be 20.137 years as set forth in paragraph 23 of the Federal Tax Certificate. 5. I have worked closely with representatives of the City in structuring the financial terms of the Bonds and the refunding of the Refunded Bonds. The Financial Advisor has also performed certain computations that are the subject of the Report. I hereby confirm that the assumptions that are described in the Report as provided by the Financial Advisor are true, accurate and complete. I further hereby represent that to the B-1 1132831_2.DOC Dallas 1132831 v.2 0 0 best of my knowledge the statements set forth in paragraph 20 of the Federal Tax Certificate to which this certificate is attached, are true. The Financial Advisor hereby authorizes the City to rely on the statements made herein in connection with making the representations set forth in the Federal Tax Certificate to which this certificate is attached and in its efforts to comply with the conditions imposed by the Code on the exclusion of interest on the Bonds from the gross income of their owners. The Financial Advisor hereby authorizes Vinson & Elkins L.L.P. to rely on this certificate for purposes of its opinion regarding the treatment of interest on the Bonds as excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes.

(vi) The Issuer is not entitled to a refund of any portion of the premium paid for the Insurance Policy in the event that any of the Bonds are retired prior to their stated maturity 06010214 D ., J Financial Guaranty Insurance Company 115 Broadway New York, New York 10006 To Whom It May Concern: Moody's Investors Service 99 Church Street New York, NY June 16, 2006 Moody's Investors Service has assigned the rating of Aaa (Financial Guaranty Insurance Company Insured -Policy No. 06010214) to the $18,830,000.00, City of Lubbock, Texas -General Obligation Refunding Bonds, Series 2006, dated May 15, 2006 which sold through negotiation on May 11, 2006.

The Bonds mature, bear interest, are subject to redemption prior to maturity and may be transferred and exchanged as set out in the Bonds and in the ordinance, as amended, adopted by the City Council of the City authorizing their issuance (the "Ordinance"). WE HA VE represented the City as its Bond Counsel for the sole purpose of rendering an opinion with respect to the legality and validity of the Bonds under the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas and with respect to the exclusion of interest on the Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes. We have not investigated or verified original proceedings, records, data or other material, but have relied solely upon the transcript of proceedings described in the following paragraph. We have not assumed any responsibility with respect to the financial condition or capabilities of the City or the disclosure thereof in connection with the sale of the Bonds. Our role in connection with the City's Official Statement prepared for use in connection with the sale of the Bonds has been limited as described therein. IN OUR CAPACITY as Bond Counsel, we have participated in the preparation of and have examined a transcript of certified proceedings pertaining to the Bonds, on which we have relied in giving our opinion. The transcript contains certified copies of certain proceedings of the City; an escrow agreement (the "Escrow Agreement") between the City and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as escrow agent (the "Escrow Agent"); a report (the "Report") of Grant Thornton LLP, Certified Public Accountants (the "'Verification Agent"), verifying the sufficiency of the deposits made with the Escrow Agent for defeasance of the obligations being refunded (the "Refunded Obligations") and the mathematical accuracy of certain computations of the yield on the Bonds and obligations acquired with the proceeds of the Bonds; and Vinson & Elkins LLP Attorneys at Law Austin Beijing Dallas Dubai Houston London Moscow NewYori( Tokyo Washington Dallas 1134321 v. l Trammell Crow Center, 2001 Ross Avenue, Suite 3700 Dallas, Texas 75201-2975 Tel 214.220.7700 Fax 214.220.TT16 www.velaw.com "'I V&E customary certificates of officers, agents and representatives of the City, and other public officials, and other certified showings relating to the authorization and issuance of the Bonds. We have also examined executed Bond No. 1 of this issue. BASED ON SUCH EXAMINATION, IT IS OUR OPINION THAT: (A) The transcript of certified proceedings evidences complete legal authority for the issuance of the Bonds in full compliance with the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas presently effective and, therefore, the Bonds constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the City; (B) A continuing ad valorem tax upon all taxable property within the City, necessary to pay the interest on and principal of the Bonds, has been levied and pledged irrevocably for such purposes, within the limit prescribed by law, and the total indebtedness of the City, including the Bonds, does not exceed any constitutional, statutory or other limitations; and (C) Firm banking and financial arrangements have been made for the discharge and final payment of the Refunded Obligations pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, and therefore, the Refunded Obligations are deemed to be fully paid and no longer outstanding except for the purpose of being paid from the funds provided therefor in such Escrow Agreement. THE RIGHTS OF THE OWNERS of the Bonds are subject to the applicable provisions of the federal bankruptcy laws and any other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors of political subdivisions generally, and may be limited by general principles of equity which permit the exercise of judicial discretion. IT IS OUR FURTHER OPINION THAT: (1) Interest on the Bonds is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes under existing law; and (2) The Bonds are not "private activity bonds" within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and interest on the Bonds is not subject to the alternative minimum tax on individuals and corporations, except that interest on the Bonds will be included in the "adjusted current earnings" of a corporation ( other than an S corporation, regulated investment company, REIT, REMIC or F ASIT) for purposes of computing its alternative minimum tax liability. In providing such opinions, we have relied on representations of the City, the City's financial advisor and the underwriter of the Bonds with respect to matters solely within the knowledge of the City, the City's financial advisor and the underwriter respectively, which we -2- Dallas 1134321 v. l ) V&E have not independently verified, and have assumed continuing compliance with the covenants in the Ordinance pertaining to those sections of the Code that affect the exclusion from gross income of interest on the Bonds for federal income tax purposes. We have further relied on the Report of the Verification Agent regarding the mathematical accuracy of certain computations. If such representations or the Report are determined to be inaccurate or incomplete or the City fails to comply with the foregoing provisions of the Ordinance, interest on the Bonds could become includable in gross income from the date of original delivery, regardless of the date on which the event causing such inclusion occurs. Except as stated above, we express no opm1on as to any federal, state or local tax consequences resulting from the receipt or accrual of interest on, or acquisition, ownership or disposition of, the Bonds. Owners of the Bonds should be aware that the ownership of tax-exempt obligations may result in collateral federal income tax consequences to financial institutions, life insurance and property and casualty insurance companies, certain S corporations with Subchapter C earnings and profits, individual recipients of Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits, taxpayers who may be deemed to have incurred or continued indebtedness to purchase or carry tax-exempt obligations, taxpayers owning an interest in a FASIT that holds tax-exempt obligations and individuals otherwise qualifying for the earned income credit. In addition, certain foreign corporations doing business in the United States may be subject to the "branch profits tax" on their effectively-connected earnings and profits (including tax-exempt interest such as interest on the Bonds). The opinions set forth above are based on existing law, which is subject to change. Such opinions are further based on our knowledge of facts as of the date hereof. We assume no duty to update or supplement these opinions to reflect any facts or circumstances that may hereafter come to our attention or to reflect any changes in any law that may hereafter occur or become effective. Moreover, our opinions are not a guarantee of result and are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service (the "Service"); rather, such opinions represent our legal judgment based upon our review of existing law and in reliance upon the representations and covenants referenced above that we deem relevant to such opinions. The Service has an ongoing audit program to determine compliance with rules that relate to whether interest on state or local obligations is includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes. No assurance can be given whether or not the Service will commence an audit of the Bonds. If an audit is commenced, in accordance with its current published procedures the Service is likely to treat the City as the taxpayer. We observe that the City has covenanted in the Ordinance not to take any action, or omit to take any action within its control, that if taken or omitted, respectively, may result in the treatment of interest on the Bonds as includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes. -3- Dallas I 134321 v.1 Vinson&Elkins June 20, 2006 City of Lubbock, Texas P.O.

All capitalized undefined terms used herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Purchase Contract. In connection with this opinion letter, we have considered such matters oflaw and offact, and have relied upon such Bonds and other information furnished to us, as we have deemed appropriate as a basis for our opinion set forth below. We are not expressing any opinion or views herein on the authorization, issuance, delivery, validity of the Bonds and we have assumed, but not independently verified, that the signatures on all documents and Bonds that we have examined are genuine. Based on and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that, under existing laws, the Bonds are not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 193 3, as amended, and the Ordinance is not required to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. Because the primary purpose of our professional engagement as your counsel was not to establish factual matters, and because of the wholly or partially nonlegal character of many of the determinations involved in the preparation of the Official Statement dated May 11, 2006 (the "Official Statement") and because the information in the Official Statement under the headings "THE BONDS -Book-Entry-Only System," "TAX MATTERS," and 110THER INFORMATION -Continuing Disclosure of Information -Compliance with Prior Undertakings" and Appendices A, B, and C thereto were prepared by others who have been engaged to review or provide such information, we are not passing on and do not assume any responsibility for, except as set forth in the last sentence of this paragraph, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Official Statement (including any appendices, schedules and exhibits thereto) and we make no representation that we have independently verified the accuracy, completeness or fairness of such statements.

In the course of our participation in the preparation of the Official Statement as your counsel, we had discussions with representatives of the Issuer, including its City Attorney, Bond Counsel and Financial Advisor, regarding the contents of the Official Statement. In the course of such activities, no facts came to our attention that would lead us to believe that the Official Statement (except for the financial statements and other financial and statistical data contained therein, the information set forth under the headings "THE BONDS -Book- Entry-Only System," "TAX MATTERS," and "OTHER INFORMATION -Continuing Disclosure oflnformation -Compliance with Prior Undertakings" and Appendices A, B and C thereto, as to which we express no opinion), as of its date contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
