all facts and estimates known or reasonably expected to be in existence on the date the Series
201 OA Certificates are delivered, the City will reasonably expect that the proceeds of the Series

Moreover, the City covenants and agrees that it will make such use of the proceeds of the Series
2010A Certificates including interest or other investment income derived from Series 2010A
Certificate proceeds, regulate investments of proceeds of the Series 2010A Certificates, and take
such other and further action as may be required so that the Series 2010A Certificates will not be

This refers to the joint election procedures with the county for conducting the November 3,
2009, special bond and tax referendum election, including conduct of the election by t.lie county,
the use of the county's voting precincts, polling places, and voting method, and the extended
early voting hours, for the City of Lubbock in Lubbock County, Texas, submitted to the Attorney
General pursuant to Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, 42 U.S.C. 1973c. We received
your submission on September 3, 2009.
With regard to the use of county voting precincts and polling places on the November
uniform election date, our analysis indicates that the City of Lubbock exercised no discretion
because this change was mandated by previously precleared state legislation (Chapter 1042 (H.B.
1209) (2005)). ( A copy of our letter is enclosed). Accordingly, no further determination by the
Attorney General is required or appropriate under Section 5. Procedures for the Administration of
Section 5 of the voting Rights Act of 1965, 28 C.F .R.51.35
The Attorney General does not interpose any objection to the remaining specified changes.
However, we note that Section 5 expressly provides that the failure of the Attorney General to
object does not bar subsequent litigation to enjoin the enforcement of the changes. 28 C.F.R.
51.41.
Multiple copies of documents are not necessary when making a Section 5 submission.

This refers to Chapter 1042 (House Bill 1209) (2005), which requires that political
subdivisions (not located in a county with a population of more than 3 .3 mi.Ilion persons, or
adjacent to a county with a population of more thBll 3.3 million persons) must use 001mty voting
precincts and regular county polling places on the November uni.fonn election date; provides that
in election precincts not located wholly within the territory of a political subdivision holding an
election in the precinct or a district used to elect an office at the election, election officials shall
take reasonable measures to ensure that a voter voting at that precinct may not vote fu an election
in which the voter is not entitled to vote; and requires the Secretary of State to prescribe
procedures to impleme;nt these changes for the State of Texas, submitted to the Attorney General
pursuant to Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act, 42 U.S.C. 1973c. We received your submission
on September 2, 2005.
The Attorney General does not interpose any objection to the specified changes. However,
we note that Section 5 expressly provides that the failure of the Attorney General to object does
not bar subsequent litigation to enjoin the enforcement of the changes. In addition, as authorized
by Section 5, we reserve the right to reexamine this submission if additional information that
would otherwise require an objection comes to our attention during the reinainder of the

(28 C.F.R 51.41 and 51.43).
Chapter 1042 (2005) includes provisions that are enabling in nature. Therefore, the State
of Texas is not relieved of its responsibility to seek Section 5 review of any changes affecting
voting proposed to be implemented pursuant to th.is legislation ~ the requirement that the
Secretary of State prescribe procedures to implement the specified changes). Also, local
jurisdictions are not relieved of their responsibility to seek Section 5 review of any changes

Agent/Registrar to rescind the redemption notice, and such notice and redemption shall be of no
effect if such moneys and/or authorized securities are not so deposited or if the notice is
rescinded. The Paying Agent/Registrar shall give prompt notice of any such rescission of a
conditional notice of redemption to the affected owners. Any Certificates subject to conditional
redemption where redemption has been rescinded shall remain Outstanding, and the rescission
shall not constitute an event of default. Further, in the case of a conditional redemption, the
failure of the City to make moneys and/or authorized securities available in part or in whole on
or before the redemption date shall not constitute an event of default.
As provided in the Ordinance, and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this
Certificate is transferable upon surrender of this Certificate for transfer at the designated office of
the Paying Agent/Registrar with such endorsement or other evidence of transfer as is acceptable
to the Paying Agent/Registrar; thereupon, one or more new fully registered Certificates of the
same stated maturity, of authorized denominations, bearing the same rate of interest, and for the
same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
Neither the City nor the Paying Agent/Registrar shall be required to issue, transfer or
exchange any Certificate called for redemption where such redemption is scheduled to occur
within forty-five (45) calendar days of the transfer or exchange date; provided, however, such
limitation shall not be applicable to an exchange by the registered owner of the uncalled
principal balance of a Certificate.
The City, the Paying Agent/Registrar, and any other person may treat the person in whose
name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment as
herein provided ( except interest shall be paid to the person in whose name this Certificate is
registered on the Record Date) and for all other purposes, whether or not this Certificate be
overdue, and neither the City nor the Paying Agent/Registrar shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
IT IS HEREBY CERTIFIED AND RECITED that the issuance of this Certificate and the
series of which it is a part is duly authorized by law; that all acts, conditions, and things to be
done precedent to and in the issuance of the Certificates have been properly done and performed
and have happened in regular and due time, form, and manner as required by law; that ad

basis of a 360 day year of twelve 30 day months, such interest to be paid semiannually on
February 15 and August 15 of each year, commencing February 15, 2011. All capitalized terms
used herein but not defined shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Ordinance ( defined

succeeding day that is not a Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday, or day on which banking
institutions are required or authorized to close, and payment on such date shall have the same
force and effect as if made on the original date payment was due.
This Certificate is one of a series of fully registered certificates specified in the title
hereof issued in the aggregate principal amount of $96,540,000 (herein referred to as the
"Certificates"), issued pursuant to a certain ordinance of the City (the "Ordinance") for the
purpose of paying contractual obligations to be incurred for authorized public improvements
(collectively, the "Project"), as described in the Ordinance, and to pay the contractual obligations
for professional services of attorneys, financial advisors and other professionals in connection
with the Project and the issuance of the Certificates. The Certificates are being issued
concurrently with the City's Tax and Waterworks System Surplus Revenue Certificates of
Obligation, Series 2010A, in the aggregate principal amount of $48,955,000, which are also
being issued pursuant to the Ordinance for the purpose of paying contractual obligations to be
incurred for the Project, and to pay the contractual obligations for professional services of
attorneys, financial advisors and other professionals in connection with the Project and costs of
issuance.
The City has reserved the option to redeem the Certificates maturing on or after
February 15, 2020, in whole or in part, before their respective scheduled maturity dates, on
February 15, 2019, or on any date thereafter, at a price equal to the principal amount of the
Certificates so called for redemption plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption. If
less than all of the Certificates are to be redeemed, the City shall determine the maturity or
maturities and the amounts thereof to be redeemed and shall direct the Paying Agent/Registrar to
call by lot or other customary method that results in a random selection the Certificates, or
portions thereof, within such maturity and in such principal amounts, for redemption.
The Certificates are also subject to extraordinary redemption prior to February 15, 2019,
at the option of the City, upon the occurrence of an Extraordinary Event (hereinafter defined)
B-2

)
)
)
)
)
from any source of available funds, in whole or in part, by lot, at the Make-Whole Redemption
Price (hereinafter defined). "Extraordinary Event" means any change to Sections 54AA or 6431
of the Code (as such Sections were added by Section 1531 of the "American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009," pertaining to ''build America bonds") or any other action taken by
the United States Congress or federal government, the effect of which causes the Federal
Subsidy applicable to the Certificates to be reduced or eliminated. "Make-Whole Redemption
Price" means the amount equal to the greater of the following: (i) the issue price of the
Certificates (but not less than 100%) of the principal amount of the Certificates to be redeemed;
and (ii) the sum of the present value of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and
interest on the Certificates to be redeemed to the earlier of the maturity date of such Certificates
and February 15, 2019, not including any portion of those payments of interest accrued and
unpaid as of the date on which the Certificates are to be redeemed, discounted to the date on
which the Certificates are to be redeemed on a semi-annual basis, assuming a 360-day year
containing twelve 30-day months, at the Treasury Rate (hereinafter defined), plus 100 basis
points, plus in each case accrued and unpaid interest on the Certificates to be redeemed to the
redemption date. "Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any redemption date for a particular
Certificate, the yield to maturity as of such redemption date of United States Treasury securities
with a constant maturity (as compiled and published in the most recent Federal Reserve
Statistical Release H.15 (519) that has become publicly available at least two Business Days
prior to the redemption date (excluding inflation-indexed securities) (or, if such Statistical
Release is no longer published, any publicly available source of similar market data)) most
nearly equal to the period from the redemption date to the maturity date of the Certificates to be
redeemed; provided, however that if the period from the redemption date to the maturity date is
less than one year, the weekly average yield on actually traded United States Treasury securities
adjusted to a constant maturity of one year shall be used.
Certificates maturing on February 15 in the year 2030 (the ''Term Certificates"), are
subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption prior to their scheduled maturity, and will be
redeemed by the City, in part at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof, without
premium, plus interest accrued to the redemption date, on the dates and in the principal amounts
shown in the following schedule:

The Paying Agent/Registrar will select by lot or by any other customary method that
results in a random selection the specific Tenn Certificates (or with respect to Tenn Certificates
having a denomination in excess of $5,000, each $5,000 portion thereof) to be redeemed by
mandatory redemption. The principal amount of Tenn Certificates required to be redeemed on
any redemption date pursuant to the foregoing mandatory sinking fund redemption provisions
hereof shall be reduced, at the option of the City, by the principal amount of any Certificates

which, at least 45 days prior to the mandatory sinking fund redemption date (i) shall have been
acquired by the City at a price not exceeding the principal amount of such Certificates plus
accrued interest to the date of purchase thereof, and delivered to the Paying Agent/Registrar for
cancellation, or (ii) shall have been redeemed pursuant to the optional redemption provisions
hereof and not previously credited to a mandatory sinking fund redemption.
Notice of such redemption or redemptions shall be given by first class mail, postage
prepaid, not less than 30 days before the date fixed for redemption, to the registered owner of
each of the Certificates to be redeemed in whole or in part. In the Ordinance, the City reserves
the right in the case of an optional redemption to give notice of its election or direction to redeem
Certificates conditioned upon the occurrence of subsequent events. Such notice may state (i) that
the redemption is conditioned upon the deposit of moneys and/or authorized securities, in an
amount equal to the amount necessary to effect the redemption, with the Paying Agent/Registrar,
or such other entity as may be authorized by law, no later than the redemption date or (ii) that the
City retains the right to rescind such notice at any time prior to the scheduled redemption date if
the City delivers a certificate of the City to the Paying Agent/Registrar instructing the Paying
Agent/Registrar to rescind the redemption notice, and such notice and redemption shall be of no
effect if such moneys and/or authorized securities are not so deposited or if the notice is
rescinded. The Paying Agent/Registrar shall give prompt notice of any such rescission of a
conditional notice of redemption to the affected owners. Any Certificates subject to conditional
redemption where redemption has been rescinded shall remain Outstanding, and the rescission
shall not constitute an event of default. Further, in the case of a conditional redemption, the
failure of the City to make moneys and/or authorized securities available in part or in whole on
or before the redemption date shall not constitute an event of default.
As provided in the Ordinance, and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this
Certificate is transferable upon surrender of this Certificate for transfer at the designated office of
the Paying Agent/Registrar with such endorsement or other evidence of transfer as is acceptable
to the Paying Agent/Registrar; thereupon, one or more new fully registered Certificates of the
same stated maturity, of authorized denominations, bearing the same rate of interest, and for the
same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
Neither the City nor the Paying Agent/Registrar shall be required to issue, transfer or
exchange any Certificate called for redemption where such redemption is scheduled to occur
within forty-five ( 45) calendar days of the transfer or exchange date; provided, however, such
limitation shall not be applicable to an exchange by the registered owner of the uncalled
principal balance of a Certificate.

rescission of a conditional notice of redemption to the affected owners. Any Bonds subject to
conditional redemption where redemption has been rescinded shall remain Outstanding, and the
rescission shall not constitute an event of default. Further, in the case of a conditional
redemption, the failure of the City to make moneys and/or authorized securities available in part
or in whole on or before the redemption date shall not constitute an event of default.] 15

hereof shall have been paid or provided for, and to pay interest on such principal amount from

interest has been paid or provided for until payment of such principal amount has been paid or

thereof. Interest on this Bond is payable by check dated as of the interest payment date, and will
be mailed by the Paying Agent/Registrar to the registered owner at the address shown on the
registration books kept by the Paying Agent/Registrar or by such other customary banking
arrangement acceptable to the Paying Agent/Registrar and the registered owner; provided,
however, such registered owner shall bear all risk and expense of such other banking
arrangement. At the option of an Owner of at least $1,000,000 principal amount of the Bonds,
interest may be paid by wire transfer to the bank account of such Owner on file with the Paying
Agent/Registrar. For the purpose of the payment of interest on this Bond, the registered owner
shall be the person in whose name this Bond is registered at the close of business on the "Record
Date," which shall be the last business day of the month next preceding such interest payment
date.
If the date for the payment of the principal of or interest on this Bond shall be a Saturday,
Sunday, legal holiday, or day on which banking institutions in the city where the Designated
Payment/Transfer Office of the Paying Agent/Registrar is located are required or authorized by
law or executive order to close, the date for such payment shall be the next succeeding day which
is not a Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday, or day on which banking institutions are required or
authorized to close, and payment on such date shall have the same force and effect as if made on
the original date payment was due and no additional interest shall be due by reason of
nonpayment on the date on which such payment is otherwise stated to be due and payable.
This Bond is one of a series of fully registered bonds specified in the title hereof issued in
the aggregate principal amount of $8,840,000 (herein referred to as the "Bonds"), issued
pursuant to a certain ordinance of the City (the "Ordinance") for the purpose of providing funds
with which to make various public improvements for the City and to pay the costs of issuing the
Bonds. The Bonds are being issued concurrently with the City's General Obligation Bonds,
Taxable Series 2010B (Build America Bonds -Direct Payment), in the aggregate principal
amount of$15,320,000, which are also being issued pursuant to the Ordinance for the purpose of
paying providing funds with which to make various pennanent public improvements for the City.
The City has reserved the option to redeem the Bonds maturing on February 15, 2020 in
whole or in part, before their scheduled maturity date on February 15, 2019, or on any date
thereafter, at a redemption price of par, plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption. If
less than all of the Bonds are to be redeemed, the City shall determine the maturity or maturities
and the amounts thereof to be redeemed and shall direct the Paying Agent/Registrar to call by lot
or other customary method that results in a random selection the Bonds, or portions thereof,
within such maturity and in such principal amounts, for redemption.
Notice of such redemption or redemptions shall be given by first class mail, postage
prepaid, not less than thirty (30) days before the date fixed for redemption, to the registered
owner of each of the Bonds to be redeemed in whole or in part. In the Ordinance, the City
reserves the right in the case of an optional redemption to give notice of its election or direction
to redeem Bonds conditioned upon the occurrence of subsequent events. Such notice may state
(i) that the redemption is conditioned upon the deposit of moneys and/or authorized securities, in
an amount equal to the amount necessary to effect the redemption, with the Paying
Agent/Registrar, or such other entity as may be authorized by law, no later th.an the redemption

\
)
redemption date if the City delivers a certificate of the City to the Paying Agent/Registrar
instructing the Paying Agent/Registrar to rescind the redemption notice, and such notice and
redemption shall be of no effect if such moneys and/or authorized securities are not so deposited
or if the notice is rescinded. The Paying Agent/Registrar shall give prompt notice of any such
rescission of a conditional notice of redemption to the affected owners. Any Bonds subject to
conditional redemption where redemption has been rescinded shall remain Outstanding, and the
rescission shall not constitute an event of default. Further, in the case of a conditional
redemption, the failure of the City to make moneys and/or authorized securities available in part
or in whole on or before the redemption date shall not constitute an event of default. As
provided in the Ordinance, and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Bond is
transferable upon surrender of this Bond for transfer at the Designated Payment/Transfer Office
of the Paying Agent/Registrar with such endorsement or other evidence of transfer as is
acceptable to the Paying Agent/Registrar; thereupon, one or more new fully registered Bonds of
the same stated maturity, of authorized denominations, bearing the same rate of interest, and for
the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
Neither the City nor the Paying Agent/Registrar shall be required to issue, transfer or
exchange any Bond called for redemption where such redemption is scheduled to occur within
forty-five (45) calendar days of the transfer or exchange date; provided, however, such limitation
shall not be applicable to an exchange by the registered owner of the uncalled principal balance
of a Bond.
The City, the Paying Agent/Registrar, and any other person may treat the person in whose
name this Bond is registered as the owner hereof for the pwpose of receiving payment as herein
provided ( except interest shall be paid to the person in whose name this Bond is registered on the
Record Date) and for all other purposes, whether or not this Bond be overdue, and neither the
City nor the Paying Agent/Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
IT IS HEREBY CERTIFIED AND RECITED that the issuance of this Bond and the
series of which it is a part is duly authorized by law; and has been authorized by a vote of the
properly qualified electors of the City; that all acts, conditions and things required to be done
precedent to and in the issuance of the Bonds have been properly done and performed and have
happened in regular and due time, form and manner, as required by law; and that ad valorem
taxes upon all taxable property in the City have been levied for and pledged to the payment of
the debt service requirements of the Bonds within the limit prescribed by law.

hereof shall have been paid or provided for, and to pay interest on such principal amonnt from

thereof. Interest on this Bond is payable by check dated as of the interest payment date, and will
be mailed by the Paying Agent/Registrar to the registered owner at the address shown on the
registration books kept by the Paying Agent/Registrar or by such other customary banking
arrangement acceptable to the Paying Agent/Registrar and the registered owner; provided,

arrangement. At the option of an Owner of at least $1,000,000 principal amount of the Bonds,
interest may be paid by wire transfer to the bank account of such Owner on file with the Paying
Agent/Registrar. For the purpose of the payment of interest on this Bond, the registered owner
shall be the person in whose name this Bond is registered at the close of business on the "Record
Date," which shall be the last business day of the month next preceding such interest payment
date.
If the date for the payment of the principal of or interest on this Bond shall be a Saturday,
Sunday, legal holiday, or day on which banking institutions in the city where the Designated
Paymentffransfer Office of the Paying Agent/Registrar is located are required or authorized by
law or executive order to close, the date for such payment shall be the next succeeding day which
is not a Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday, or day on which banking institutions are required or
authorized to close, and payment on such date shall have the same force and effect as if made on
the original date payment was due and no additional interest shall be due by reason of
nonpayment on the date on which such payment is otherwise stated to be due and payable.
This Bond is one of a series of fully registered bonds specified in the title hereof issued in
the aggregate principal amount of $15,320,000 (herein referred to as the "Bonds''), issued
pursuant to a certain ordinance of the City (the "Ordinance") for the purpose of providing funds
with which to make various public improvements for the City and to pay the costs of issuing the
Bonds. The Bonds are being issued concurrently with the City's General Obligation Bonds,
Series 2010A, in the aggregate principal amount of $8,840,000, which are also being issued
pursuant to the Ordinance for the purpose of paying providing funds with which to make various
pe:nnanent public improvements for the City.
The City has reserved the option to redeem the Bonds maturing on February 15, 2020 in
whole or in part, before their scheduled maturity date on February 15, 2019, or on any date
thereafter, at a redemption price of par, plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption. If
less than all of the Bonds are to be redeemed, the City shall determine the maturity or maturities
and the amounts thereof to be redeemed and shall direct the Paying Agent/Registrar to call by lot
or other customary method that results in a random selection the Bonds, or portions thereof,
within such maturity and in such principal amounts, for redemption.
Bonds maturing on February 15, 2030 (the ''Term Bonds"), are subject to mandatory
sinking fund redemption prior to their scheduled maturity, and will be redeemed by the City, in
part at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof, without premium, plus interest
accrued to the redemption date, on the dates and in the principal amounts shown in the following

The Paying Agent/Registrar will select by lot or by any other customary method that
results in a random selection the specific Tenn Bonds ( or with respect to Tenn Bonds having a
denomination in excess of $5,000, each $5,000 portion thereof) to be redeemed by mandatory
redemption. The principal amount of Tenn Bonds required to be redeemed on any redemption
date pursuant to the foregoing mandatory sinking fund redemption provisions hereof shall be
reduced, at the option of the City, by the principal amount of any Bonds which, at least 45 days
prior to the mandatory sinking fund redemption date (i) shall have been acquired by the City at a
price not exceeding the principal amount of such Bonds plus accrued interest to the date of
purchase thereof, and delivered to the Paying Agent/Registrar for cancellation, or (ii) shall have
been redeemed pursuant to the optional redemption provisions hereof and not previously credited
to a mandatory sinking fund redemption.
The Bonds are also subject to extraordinary redemption prior to February 15, 2019, at the
option of the City, upon the occurrence of an Extraordinary Event (hereinafter defined) from any
source of available funds, in whole or in part, by lot, at the Make-Whole Redemption Price
(hereinafter defined). "Extraordinary Event" means any change to Sections 54AA or 6431 of the
Code (as such Sections were added by Section 1531 of the "American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009," pertaining to ''build America bonds") or any other action taken by
the United States Congress or federal government, the effect of which causes the Federal
Subsidy applicable to the Bonds to be reduced or eliminated. "Make-Whole Redemption Price"
means the amount equal to the greater of the following: (i) the issue price of the Bonds (but not
less than 100%) of the principal amount of the Bonds to be redeemed; and (ii) the sum of the
present value of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Bonds to be
redeemed to the earlier of the maturity date of such Bonds and February 15, 2019, not including
any portion of those payments of interest accrued and unpaid as of the date on which the Bonds
are to be redeemed, discounted to the date on which the Bonds are to be redeemed on a semi-
annual basis, assuming a 360-day year containing twelve 30-day months, at the Treasury Rate
(hereinafter defined), plus 100 basis points, plus in each case accrued and unpaid interest on the
Bonds to be redeemed to the redemption date. ''Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any
redemption date for a particular Bond, the yield to maturity as of such redemption date of United
States Treasury securities with a constant maturity (as compiled and published in the most recent
Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) that has become publicly available at least two
Business Days prior to the redemption date (excluding inflation-indexed securities) (or, if such
Statistical Release is no longer published, any publicly available source of similar market data))
most nearly equal to the period from the redemption date to the maturity date of the Bonds to be
redeemed; provided, however that if the period from the redemption date to the maturity date is
less than one year, the weekly average yield on actually traded United States Treasury securities
adjusted to a constant maturity of one year shall be used.
Notice of such redemption or redemptions shall be given by first class mail, postage
prepaid, not less than thirty (30) days before the date fixed for redemption, to the registered
B-3
22607lv.l LU8200nt015

)
owner of each of the Bonds to be redeemed in whole or in part. In the Ordinance, the City
reserves the right in the case of an optional redemption to give notice of its election or direction
to redeem Bonds conditioned upon the occurrence of subsequent events. Such notice may state
(i) that the redemption is conditioned upon the deposit of moneys and/or authorized securities, in
an amount equal to the amount necessary to effect the redemption, with the Paying
Agent/Registrar, or such other entity as may be authorized by law, no later than the redemption
date or (ii) that the City retains the right to rescind such notice at any time prior to the scheduled
redemption date if the City delivers a certificate of the City to the Paying Agent/Registrar
instructing the Paying Agent/Registrar to rescind the redemption notice, and such notice and
redemption shall be of no effect if such moneys and/or authorized securities are not so deposited
or if the notice is rescinded. The Paying Agent/Registrar shall give prompt notice of any such
rescission of a conditional notice of redemption to the affected owners. Any Bonds subject to
conditional redemption where redemption has been rescinded shall remain Outstanding, and the
rescission shall not constitute an event of default. Further, in the case of a conditional
redemption, the failure of the City to make moneys and/or authorized securities available in part
or in whole on or before the redemption date shall not constitute an event of default. As
provided in the Ordinance, and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Bond is
transferable upon surrender of this Bond for transfer at the Designated Paymentffransfer Office
of the Paying Agent/Registrar with such endorsement or other evidence of transfer as is
acceptable to the Paying Agent/Registrar; thereupon, one or more new fully registered Bonds of
the same stated maturity, of authorized denominations, bearing the same rate of interest, and for
the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
Neither the City nor the Paying Agent/Registrar shall be required to issue, transfer or
exchange any Bond called for redemption where such redemption is scheduled to occur within
forty-five (45) calendar days of the transfer or exchange date; provided, however, such limitation
shall not be applicable to an exchange by the registered owner of the uncalled principal balance
of a Bond.
The City, the Paying Agent/Registrar, and any other person may treat the person in whose
name this Bond is registered as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment as herein
provided ( except interest shall be paid to the person in whose name this Bond is registered on the
Record Date) and for all other purposes, whether or not this Bond be overdue, and neither the
City nor the Paying Agent/Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
IT IS HEREBY CERTIFIED AND RECITED that the issuance of this Bond and the
series of which it is a part is duly authorized by law; and has been authorized by a vote of the
properly qualified electors of the City; that all acts, conditions and things required to be done
precedent to and in the issuance of the Bonds have been properly done and performed and have
happened in regular and due time, form and manner, as required by law; and that ad valorem
taxes upon all taxable property in the City have been levied for and pledged to the payment of
the debt service requirements of the Bonds within the limit prescribed by law.

pursuant to the Book-Entry-Only System described herein. No physical delivery of the Obligations will be made to the owners
thereof. Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Obligations will be payable by the Paying Agent/Registrar to Cede &
Co., which will make distribution of the amounts so paid to the participating members of DTC for subsequent payment to the
beneficial owners of the Obligations. See ''THE OBLIGATIONS • BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY SYSTEM" herein.
DESIGNATION OF SERIES 20108 BONDS AND SERIES 20108 CERTIFJCA TES AS BUILD AMERICA BONDS
Build America Bonds
In February 2009, as part of the Recovery Act, Congress added Sections S4AA and 6431 to the Tax Code, which peJmit state or
local governments to obtain certain tax advantages when issuing taxable obligations that meet certain requirements of the Tax
Code and the relaled Treasury regulations. Such obligations are referred to as Build America Bonds. A Build America Bond is a
qualified bond under Section 54AA(g) of the Tax Code (a "Qualified Build America Bond") ifit meets certain requirements of
the Tax Code and the related Treasury Regulations and the issuer has made an irrevocable election to have the special rule for
qualified bonds apply. Interest on Qualified Build America Bonds is not excluded from gross income for federal income tax
purposes, and owners of Qualified Build America Bonds will not receive any tax credits as a result of ownership of such
Qualified Build America Bonds when an issuer has elected to receive the Interest Subsidy Payment, as defined below.
Interest Subsidy Payment
Under Section 6431 of the Tax Code, an issuer of a Qualified Build America Bond may apply to receive payments (the .. Interest
Subsidy Payment") directly from the Secretary of the U.S. Treasury (the "Secretary"). The amount of an Interest Subsidy
Payment is set in Section 6431 of the Tax Code at 35% of the corresponding interest payable on the related Qualified Build
America Bond. To receive an Interest Subsidy Payment, under currently existing procedures, the issuer will have to file a tax
foJm (now designated as FoJm 8038 CP) between 90 and 45 days prior to the corresponding bond interest payment date. The
issuer should expect to receive the Interest Subsidy Payment contemporaneously with the interest payment date with respect to
the Qualified Build America Bond. Depending on the timing of the filing and other factors, the Interest Subsidy Payment may be
received before or after the corresponding interest payment date.
Series 2010B Bonds and Series 20108 Certificates
Interest on the Series 2010B Bonds and Series 20108 Certificates will be includible in gross income of the holders thereof for
federal income tax purposes and the holders of the Series 20 I OB Bonds and Series 20 I OB Certificates will not be entitled to any
tax credits as a result of either ownership of the Series 2010B Bonds and Series 2010B Certificates or receipt of any interest
payments on the Series 20l0B Bonds and Series 2010B Certificates. Holders of the Series 2010B Bonds and Series 2010B
Certificates should consult their tax advisors with respect to the inclusion of interest on the Series 2010B Bonds and Series
20 !OB Certificates in gross income for federal income tax purposes. The City intends lo apply for Interest Subsidy Payment from
the Secretary under the "Build America Program" pursuant to Section 6431 of the Tax Code. Such credits, if received by the
City, will be used under the Bond Ordinance and Certificate Ordinance to pay interest on, or reimburse the City for the payment
of interest on, Series 20108 Bonds and Series 2010B Certificates. No assurances are provided that the City will receive the
Interest Subsidy Payment regarding the Series 2010B Bonds or Series 2010B Certificates. The amount of any Interest Subsidy
Payment is subject to legislative changes by Congress. Interest Subsidy Payments will only be paid if the Series 20IOB Bonds
and Series 20108 Certificates are Qualified Build America Bonds. For the Series 2010B Bonds and Series 2010B Certificates to
be and remain Qualified Build America Bonds, the City must comply with certain covenants and the City must establish certain
facts and expectations with respect to the Series 20108 Bonds and Series 2010B Certificates, the use and investment of proceeds
thereof and the use of property financed thereby. There are currently no procedures for requesting an Interest Subsidy Payment
after the 45th day prior to an interest payment date; therefore, if the City fails to file the necessary tax return in a timely fashion,
it is possible that the City will never receive such Interest Subsidy Payment. Also, Interest Subsidy Payments are subject to offset
against certain amounts that may, for unrelated reasons, be owed by the City to an agency of the United States of America.
AUTHORITY FOR ISSUANCE
The Bonds are issued pursuant to the Constitution and general laws of the State, particularly Chapters 1331 and 1371, Texas
Government Code, as amended, elections held in the City on May 15, 2004 and November 3, 2009, and an ordinance adopted by
the City Council (the "Bond Ordinance").
The Certificates are issued pursuant to the Constitution and general laws of the State of Texas, particularly Subchapter C of
Chapter 271 of the Texas Local Government Code, as amended, Chapter 1371, Texas Government Code, as amended, and an
ordinance adopted by the City Council (the "Certificate Ordinance" and, together with the Bond Ordinance, the "Ordinances").

)
)
SECURITY AND SOURCE OF PAYMENT
The Bonds constitute direct obligations of the City and are payable from the proceeds of a continuing, direct annual ad valorem
tax, levied within the limits prescribed by law, against all taxable propeny within the City.
The Certificates are payable from a combination of (i) the proceeds of a continuing, direct annual ad valorem tax, levied within
the limits prescribed by law, on all taxable property within the City, and (ii) a pledge of surplus net revenues of the City's
Waterworks System, not to exceed $1,000.
TAX RATE LIMITATION
All taxable property within the City is subject to the assessment, levy and collection by the City of a continuing, direct annual ad
valorem tax sufficient to provide for the payment of principal of and interest on all ad valorem tax debt within the limits
prescribed by law. Article XI, Section 5, of the Texas Constitution is applicable to the City, and limits its maximum ad valorem
tax rate to $2.50 per $100 taxable assessed valuation for all City purposes. The Home Rule Charter of the City adopts the
constitutionally authorized maximum tax rate of $2.50 per $IOO taxable assessed valuation. Administratively, the Attorney
General of the State of Texas will pcnnit allocation of $1.50 of the $2.S0 maximum tax rate for all general obligation debt
service, as calculated at the time of issuance.
OPTIONAL REDEMPTION
The City reserves the right, at its option, to redeem Obligations having stated maturities on and after February I 5, 2020, in whole
or in part in principal amounts of$5,000 or any integral multiple thereof, on February 15, 2019, or any date thereafter, at the par

select the maturities of Obligations to be redeemed. Ifless than all the Obligations of any maturity are to be redeemed, the Paying
Agent/Registrar (or DTC while the Obligations are in Book-Entry-Only form) shall detennine by lot the Obligations, or portions
thereof, within such maturity to be redeemed. Ifan Obligation (or any portion of the principal sum thereof) shall have been called
for redemption and notice of such redemption shall have been given, such Obligation (or the principal amount thereof to be
redeemed) shall become due and payable on such redemption date and interest thereon shall cease to accrue from and after the
redemption date, provided funds for the payment of the redemption price and accrued interest thereon are held by the Paying
Agent/Registrar on the redemption date.
EXTRAORDINARY OPTIONAL REDEMPTION
Prior to February 15, 2019, the Series 2010B Bonds and Series 2010B Certificates are subject to redemption prior to maturity at
the option of the City, in whole or in part, in principal amounts of $5,000 or any integral thereof on any date on or after the
occurrence of an Extraordinary Event at a redemption price equal to the greater of:
(a) the issue price of the principal amount of the Series 2010B Bonds and Series 20l0B Certificates to be redeemed,
provided that such amount must be at least equal to the par amount of the Series 2010B Bonds and Series 2010B Certificates
to be redeemed; and
(b) the sum of the present value of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest to the earlier of the stated
maturity or the optional redemption date (February 15, 2019) of the Series 2010B Bonds and Series 2010B Certificates to be
redeemed, not including any portion of those payments of interest accrued and unpaid as of the redemption date, discounted
to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis, assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-<lay months, at the Treasury
Rate, plus one hundred (100) basis points, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date on the
Series 2010B Bonds and Series 201 OB Certificates to be redeemed.
"Extraordinary Event" means any change to Section 54AA or Section 6431 of the Code (as such Sections were added by Section
1531 of the Recovery Act, pertaining to Build America Bonds) pursuant to which the Interest Subsidy Payments in connection
with the Series 2010B Bonds and Series 201 OB Certificates are reduced or eliminated.
The "Treasury Rate" is, as of any redemption date, the yield to maturity as of such redemption date of United States Treasury
securities with a constant maturity (as compiled and published in the most recent Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519)
that has beoome publicly available at least two (2) Business Days prior to the redemption date (excluding inflation indexed
securities) (or, if such Statistical Release is no longer published, any publicly available source of similar market data)) most
nearly equal to the period from the redemption date to the maturity date of the Bonds to be redeemed; provided, however, that if
the period from the redemption date to such maturity date is less than one (I) year, the weekly average yield on actually traded
United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one (I) year will be used.
NOTICE OF REDEMPTION
Not less than 30 days prior to a redemption date for any Obligation, the City shall cause a notice of redemption to be sent by
United States mail, first class, postage prepaid, to the registered owners of the Obligations to be redeemed, in whole or in part, at

the business day next preceding the date of mailing such notice.
The City reserves the right, in the case of an optional redemption, to give notice of its election or direction to redeem Bonds
conditioned upon the occurrence of subsequent events. Such notice may state (i) that the redemption is conditioned upon the
deposit of moneys and/or authorized securities, in an amount equal to the amount necessary to effect the redemption, with the
13

retains the right to rescind such notice at any time on or prior to the scheduled redemption date if the City delivers a certificate of
the City to the Paying Agent/Registrar instructing the Paying Agent/Registrar to rescind the redemption notice, and such notice
and redemption shall be of no effect if such moneys and/or authorized securities are not so deposited or if the notice is rescinded.
The Paying Agent/Registrar shall give prompt notice of any such rescission of a conditional notice of redemption to the affected
Owners. Any Bonds subject to conditional redemption and such redemption has been rescinded shall remain Outstanding, and the
rescission of such redemption shall not constitute an Event of Default. Further, in the case ofa conditional redemption, the failure
of the City to make moneys and/or authorized securities available, in part of in whole, on or before the redemption date shall not
constitute an Event of Default.
ANY NOTICE SO MAILED SHALL BE CONCLUSIVELY PRESUMED TO HA VE BEEN DULY GIVEN, WHETHER OR

AMENDMENTS
The City may, without consent of or notice to any owners, from time to time and at any time, amend the Ordinances in any
manner not detrimental to the interests of the owners, including the curing of any ambiguity, inconsistency, or formal defect or
omission herein. In addition, the City may, with the written consent of the owners of the Obligations holding a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Obligations then outstanding, amend, add to, or rescind any of the provisions of the
Ordinances; provided that, without the consent of all owners of outstanding Obligations, no such amendment, addition, or
rescission shall (i) extend the time or limes of payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Obligations,
reduce the principal amount thereof, the redemption price, or the rate of interest thereon, or in any other way modify the terms of
payment of the principal of, or interest on the Obligations, (ii) give any preference to any Obligation over any other Obligation,
or (iii) reduce the aggregate principal amount of Obligations required to be held by owners for consent to any such amendment,
addition, or rescission.
DEFEASANCE
The Ordinances provide that the City may discharge its obligations to the registered owners of any or all of the Obligations 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, if any and all interest to accrue on the Obligations 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
Obligations; provided that such deposits may be invested and reinvested only in (a) direct, noncal\able obligations of the United
States of America, including obligations that are unconditionally guaranteed by the United States of America, (b) noncallable
obligations of an agency or instrumentality of the United States of America, including obligations that are unconditionally
guaranteed or insured by the agency or instrumentality and that are rated as to investment quality by a nationally recognized
investment rating firm not less than AAA or its equivalent, or (c) noncallable obligations of a state or an agency or a county,
municipality, or other political subdivision of a stale that have been refunded and that are rated as to investment quality by a
nationally recognized investment rating firm not less than AAA or its equivalent The foregoing obligations may be in book-
entry-only form, and shall mature and/or bear interest in such amounts as will be sufficient to provide for the scheduled payment
and/or redemption of the Obligations. If any such Obligations are to be redeemed prior to their respective dates of maturity,
provision must have been made for giving notice of redemption as provided in the respective Ordinances.
Under current Texas law, upon the making of a deposit as described above, such Obligations shall no longer be regarded to be
outstanding or unpaid. After finn banking and financial arrangements for the discharge and final payment or redemption of the
Obligations have been made as described above, all rights of the City to initiate proceedings to call the Obligations for
redemption or to take any other action amending the tenns of the Obligations are extinguished; provided however, the right to
call the Obligations for redemption is not extinguished if the City: (i) in the proceedings providing for the firm banking and
financial arrangements, expressly reserves the right to call the Obligations for redemption; (ii) gives notice of the reservation of
that right to the owners of the Obligations immediately following the making of the firm banking and financial arrangements; and
(iii) directs that notice of the reservation be included in any redemption notices that it authori:res.
BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY SYSTEM
This section describes how ownership of the Obligations is to be transfe"ed and how the principal of. premium, if any, and
interest on the Obligations are to be paid to and credited by The Depository Trust Company ("DTC'J, New York, New York,
while the Obligations are registered in its nominee name. The information in this section concerning DTC and the Book-Entry-
Only System has been provided by DTC for use in disclosure documents such as this Official Statement. The City, the Financial
Advisor. and the Underwriters believe the source of such information to be reliable. but take no responsibility for the accuracy or
completeness thereof
The City cannot and does not give any assurance that (I) DTC will distribute payments of debt service on the Obligations, or
redemption or other nolices. to DTC Participants, (l) DTC Participants or others will distribule debt service payments paid to
DTC or ils nominee (as the regislered owner of the Obligations), or redemption or other notices, to the Beneficial Owners, or
that /hey will do so on a timely basis, or (3) DTC will serve and act in the manner described in this Official Slatement. The
14

)
'\
)
current rules applicable to DTC are on file with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, and the current
procedures of DTC to be foUowed in tkaling with DTC Participants are on file with DTC.
DTC will act as securities depository for the Obligations. The Obligations will be issued as fully registered securities registered
in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC's partnership nominee) or such other name as may be ffi!uested by an authorized representative
of DTC. One fully registered certificate will be issued for each maturity of each series of the Obligations, in the aggregate
principal amount of such issue, 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 "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the
provisions of Section 17 A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. OTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 3.5 million
issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments from over 100 countries
that DTC's participants ("Direct Participants") 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
certificates. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing
corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing
Corporation (''DTCC"). DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation, and Fixed Income
Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries.
Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both 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"). OTC has Standard & Poor's highest rating: AAA. The DTC Rules applicable to
its Participants are on file with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. More infonnation about OTC can be
found at www.dtcc.com and www.dtc.org.
Purchases of Obligations under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for
the Obligations on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Obligation ("Beneficial Owner'') is in
turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants' records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confinnation from
DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the
transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial
Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the Obligations 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 Obligations, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the
Obligations is discontinued.
To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Obligations deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name ofDTC's
partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit
of Obligations with OTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other OTC nominee do not effect any change
in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Obligations; DTC's records reflect only
the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Obligations are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial
Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their
customers.
Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants,
and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject
to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Beneficial Owners of Obligations may wish to
take certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the Obligations, such as
redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the Obligation documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of
Obligations may wish to ascertain that lhe nominee holding the Obligations for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit
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 to them.
Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. lfless than all of the Obligations within an issue are being redeemed, DTC's practice
is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such maturity lo be redeemed.
Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to Obligations 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 Obligations are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy).
Redemption, principal, and interest payments on the Obligations will be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be
requested by an authorized representative ofDTC. DTC's practice is to credit Direct Participants' accounts upon DTC's receipt
of funds and corresponding detail information from the City or the Paying Agent/Registrar, on the 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 fonn 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 lo any statutory or regulatory ffijuirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment

i
of redemption proceeds, principal, and interest payments to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an
authorized representative ofDTC) is the responsibility of the City or the Paying Agent/Registrar, disbursement of such payments
to Direct Participanls will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the
responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.
DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the Obligations 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,
security certificates for each maturity of the Obligations are required to be printed and delivered. The City may decide to
discontinue use of the system of book-entry transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, security
certificates for each maturity of the Obligations will be printed and delivered and the Obligations will be subject the transfer,
exchange and registration provisions as set forth in the respective Ordinances and summarized under "TRANSFER,
EXCHANGE AND REGISTRATION" below.
The infonnation in this section concerning DTC and DTC's book-entry system has been obtained from sources that the City, the
Financial Advisor, and the Underwriters believe to be reliable, but neither of the City, the Financial Advisor, nor the
Underwriters take responsibility for the accuracy thereof.
Use of Certain Terms in Other Sections of this Official Statement
In reading this Official Statement it should be understood that while the Obligations are in the Book-Entry-Only System,
references in other sections of this Official Statement to registered owners should be read to include the person for which the
Participant acquires an interest in the Obligations, but {i) all rights of ownership must be exercised through DTC and the Book-
Entry-Only System, and (ii) except as described above, payment or notices that are to be given to registered owners under the
Ordinance will be given only to DTC.
PA YING AGENT/REGISTRAR
The initial Paying Agent/Registrar is The Bank ofNew York Mellon Trust Company, National Association, Dallas, Texas. In the
Ordinances, the City retains the right to replace the Paying Agent/Registrar. The City covenants to maintain and provide a Paying
Agent/Registrar at all times until the Obligations of each series are duly paid and any successor Paying Agent/Registrar shall be a
commercial bank or trust company organized under the laws of the State of Texas or other entity duly qualified and legally
authorized to serve as and perform the duties and services of Paying Agent/Registrar for the Obligations. Upon any change in the
Paying Agent/Registrar for the Obligations, the City agrees to promptly cause a written notice thereof to be sent to each
registered owner of the Obligations then outstanding and affected by such change by United States mail, first class, postage
prepaid, which notice shall give the address of the new Paying Agent/Registrar.
Interest on the Obligations shall 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 mail, 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 Obligations will be paid to the registered owner at the stated maturity or earlier
redemption upon presentation to the designated payment/transfer office of the Paying Agent/Registrar. If the date for the payment
of the principal of, or interest on, the Obligations 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 next succeeding day which 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. So long as Cede & Co. is the registered owner of the Obligations,
principal and interest on the Obligations will be made as described in ''THE OBLIGATIONS -BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY
SYSTEM".
TRANSFER. EXCHANGE AND REGISTRATION
In the event the Book-Entry-Only System is discontinued, printed Obligations will be issued to the registered owners of the
Obligations affected and, thereafter, the Obligations may be transferred and exchanged on the registration books of the Paying
Agent/Registrar only upon presentation and surrender of such printed Obligations to the Paying Agent/Registrar. Such transfer or
exchange shall be without expense or service charge to the registered owner, except for any tax or other governmental charges
required to be paid with respect to such registration, exchange or transfer. Obligations may be assigned by the execution of an
assignment form on the Obligations or by other instrument of transfer and assignment acceptable to the Paying Agent/Registrar.
New Obligations will be delivered by the Paying Agent/Registrar, in lieu of the Obligations 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 extent possible, new Obligations issued in an exchange or transfer of Obligations will be
delivered to the registered owner, or assignee of the registered owner, not more than three business days after the receipt of the
Obligations to be canceled, and the written instrument of transfer or request for exchange duly executed by the registered owner,
or his duly authorized agent, in a form satisfactory to the Paying Agent/Registrar. New Obligations registered and delivered in an
exchange or transfer shall be in any integral multiple of $5,000 for any one maturity and a like aggregate principal amount as the
Obligations surrendered for exchange or transfer. See ''THE OBLIGATIONS -BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY SYSTEM" herein for a
description of the system to be utilized initially in regard to ownership and transferability of the Obligations. Neither the City nor
the Paying Agent/Registrar shall be required to transfer or exchange any Obligation called for redemption. in whole or in part,
within 45 days of the dale fixed for redemption; provided, however, such limitation of transfer shall not be applicable to an
exchange by the registered owner of the uncalled balance of an Obligation.

RECORDDATEFORINTERESTPAYMENT
The record date ("Record Date") for the interest payable on lhe Obligations on any interest payment date means the close of
business on the last business day of the preceding month.
In the event of a non-payment of interest on a scheduled payment date, and for 30 days thereafter, a new record date for such
interest payment (a "Special Record Date") will be established by the Paying Agent/Registrar if and when funds for the payment
of such interest have been received from the City. Notice of the Special Record Date and of the scheduled payment date of the
past due interest ("Special Payment Date", which shall be I 5 days after the Special Record Date) shall be sent at least five
business days prior to the Special Record Date by United States mail, first class, postage prepaid, to the address of each Holder of
an Obligation appearing on the registration books of the Paying Agent/Registrar at the close of business on the last business day
next preceding the date of mailing of such notice.
REMEDIES
The respective Ordinances establish specific events of default with respect to the Obligations. If the City defaults in the payment
of principal of, or interest on, the Obligations when due, or if the City defaults in the observance or performance of any of the
covenants, conditions or obligations of the City, the failure to perfonn which materially, adversely affects the rights of the
owners, including but not limited to their prospect or ability to be repaid in accordance with each respective Ordinance, and the
continuation thereof for a period of 60 days after notice of such default is given by any owner to the City, each respective
Ordinance provides that any owner is entitled to seek a wril of mandamus from a court of proper jurisdiction requiring the City to
make such payment or observe and perform such covenants, obligations, or conditions. The issuance of a writ of mandamus may
be sought if there is no other available remedy at law to compel performance of the Obligations or the respective Ordinance and
the City's obligations are not uncertain or disputed. The remedy of mandamus is controlled by equitable principles, so rests with
the discretion of the court, but may not be arbitrarily refused. There is no acceleration of maturity of the Obligations in the event
of default and, consequently, the remedy of mandamus may have to be relied upon from year to year. The respective Ordinances
do not provide for the appointment ofa trustee to represent the interests of the owners upon any failure of the City to perform in
accordance with the terms of the respective Ordinances, or upon any other condition. Accordingly, all legal actions to enforce
such remedies would have to be undertaken at the initiative of, and be financed by, the registered owners.
On June 30, 2006, the Texas Supreme Court ruled in Tooke v. City of Mexia, 191 S.W.3d 325 (Tex.2006), that a waiver of
sovereign immunity in a contractual dispute must be provided for by statute in "clear and unambiguous" language. In so ruling,
the Court declared that statutory language such as "sue and be sued," in and of itself, did nol constitute a clear and unambiguous
waiver of sovereign immunity. Because it is not clear that the Texas Legislature has effectively waived the City's immunity from
suit for money damages, holders of Obligations may not be able to bring such a suit against the City for breach of the Obligation
or the respective Ordinances. In Tooke, the Court noted the enactment in 2005 of sections 271.151-.160, Texas Local
Government Code (the "Local Government Immunity Waiver Act"), which, according to the Court, waives "immunity from suit
for contract claims against most local governmental entities in certain circumstances." The Local Government Immunity Waiver
Act covers cities and relates to contracts entered into by cities for providing goods or services to cities. The City is not aware of
any Texas court construing the Local Government Immunity Waiver Act in the context of whether contractual undertakings of
local governments that relate to their borrowing powers are contracts covered by the Act. As noted above, the respective
Ordinances provide that holders of Obligations may exercise the remedy of mandamus to enforce the obligations of the City
under the respective Ordinances. Neither the remedy of mandamus nor any other type of injunctive relief was at issue in Tooke,
and it is unclear whether Tooke will be construed to have any effect with respect to the exercise of mandamus, as such remedy
has been interpreted by Texas courts. In general, Texas courts have held that a writ of mandamus may be issued to require public
officials to perform ministerial acts that clearly pertain lo their duties. Texas courts have held that a ministerial act is defined as a
legal duty that is prescribed and de fined with a precision and certainty that leaves nothing to the exercise of discretion or
judgment, though mandamus is not available to enforce purely contractual duties. However, mandamus may be used to require a
public officer to perform legally-imposed ministerial duties necessary for the perfonnance of a valid contract to which the State
or a political subdivision of the State is a party (including the payment of monies due under a contract). Chapter 1371, Texas
Government Code ("Chapter 1371''), which pertains to the issuance of public securities by issuers such as the City, permits the
City to waive sovereign immunity in the proceedings authorizing its bonds, but in connection with the issuance of the
Obligations, the City has not waived sovereign immunity in the manner provided by Chapter 13 71.
Even if a judgment against the City could be obtained, it could not be enforced by direct levy and execution against the City's
property. Further, the registered owners cannot themselves foreclose on property within the City or sell property within the City
to enforce the tax lien on taxable property to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Obligations. Furthermore, the City is
eligible to seek relief from its creditors under Chapter 9 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code ("Chapter 9"). Although Chapter 9
provides for the recognition of a security interest represented by a specifically pledged source of revenues, the pledge of ad
valorem taxes in support of a general obligation of a bankrupt entity is not specifically recognized as a security interest under
Chapter 9. Chapler 9 also includes an automatic stay provision that would prohibit, without Bankruptcy Court approval, the
prosecution of any other legal action by credilors or registered owners of an enlity that has sought protection under Chapter 9.
Therefore, should the City avail itself of Chapter 9 protection from creditors, the ability to enforce would be subject to the
approval of the Bankruptcy Court (which could require that the action be heard in Bankruptcy Court instead of other federal or
state court); and the Bankruptcy Code provides for broad discretionary pGwers of a Bankruptcy Court in administering any
proceeding brought before lhe Court. The opinions of Bond Counsel will note that all opinions relative to the enforceability of
the Obligations are qualified with respect to the customary rights of debtors relative to their creditors and that all opinions relative
17

)
)
)
to the enforceability of the Ordinances and the Obligations are subject to bankruptcy and other laws affecting creditors rights or
remedies generally.

AD VALOREM TAX INFORMATION
AD VALOREM TAX LAW
The appraisal of property within Lubbock is the responsibility of the Lubbock Central Appraisal District (the "Appraisal
District"). Excluding agricultural and open-space land, which may be taxed on the basis of productive capacity, the Appraisal
District is required under the Property Tax Code (defined below) to appraise all property within the Appraisal District on the
basis of 100% of its market value and is prohibited from applying any assessment ratios. In determining market value of property,
different methods of appraisal may be used, including the cost method of appraisal, the income method of appraisal, and the
market data comparison method of appraisal. The method considered most appropriate by the chief appraiser is to be used. The
appraised value of a residence homestead for a tax year may not exceed the lesser of (I) the most recent market value of the
residence homestead as determined by the appraisal entity or (2) 110% of the appraised value of the residence homestead for the
preceding tax year plus (3) 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 eveiy 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 Title I of the Texas Tax 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 purposes;
and the procedures and limitations applicable to the levy and collection ofad valorem taxes.
Article VIII of the State Constitution ("Anicle VIII") and State law provide for certain exemptions from property taxes, the
valuation of agricultural and open-space lands at productivity value, and the exemption of certain personal property from ad
valorem taxation.
Under Anicle VIII, Section 1-b, and State law, the governing body of a political subdivision, at its option, may grant an
exemption of not less than $3,000 of the market value of the residence homestead of persons 65 years of age or older and the
disabled from all ad valorem taxes thereafter levied by the political subdivision. Once authorized, such exemption may be
repealed or decreased or increased in amount (i) by the governing body of the political subdivision or (ii} by a favorable vote ofa
majority of the qualified voters at an election called by the governing body of the political subdivision, which election must be
called upon receipt of a petition signed by at least 20% of the number of qualified voters who voted in the preceding election of
18
)
)
)
)
)
the political subdivision. In the case of a decrease, the amount of the exemption may not be reduced to less than $3,000 of the
market value.
The surviving spouse of an individual who qualifies for the foregoing exemption for the residence homestead of a person 65 or
older (but not the disabled) is entitled to an exemption for the same property in an amount equal to that of the exemption for
which the deceased spouse qualified if (i) the deceased spouse died in a year in which the deceased spouse qualified for the
exemption, (ii) the surviving spouse was at least 55 years ofage at the time of the death of the individual's spouse and (iii) the
property was the residence homestead of the surviving spouse when the deceased spouse died and remains the residence
homestead of the surviving spouse.
In addition to any other exemptions provided by the Property Tax Code, the governing body of a political subdivision, at its
option, may grant an exemption of up to 20% of the market value of residence homesteads, with a minimum exemption of
$5,000.
In the case of residence homestead exemptions granted under Section 1-b, Article VIII, ad valorem taxes may continue to be
levied against the value of homesteads exempted where ad valorem taxes have previously been pledged for the payment of debt if
cessation of the levy would impair the obligation of the contract by which the debt was created.
State law and Section 2, Article vm, mandate an additional property tax exemption for disabled veterans or the surviving spouse
or children of a deceased veteran who died while on active duty in the anned forces; the exemption applies lo either real or
personal property with the amount of assessed valuation exempted ranging from $5,000 to a maximum of$12,000.
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 person or persons 65 years of age or older will
not be increased above the amount of taxes imposed in the year such residence qualified for such limitation. Also, upon receipt of
a petition signed by 5% 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 pemms 65 years of
age or older or of persons who are disabled. Upon providing for such ex.emption, such free7.e 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
who is at least 55 years of age. If improvements (other than maintenance or repairs) are made to the property, the value of the
improvements is 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, the tax
rate limitation may not be repealed or rescinded. The City has established such a limitation on ad valorem taxes.
Article VIII provides that eligible owners of both agricultural land (Section 1-d) and open-space land (Section 1-d-l ), including
open-space land devoted to fann or ranch purposes or open-space land devoted to timber production, may elect to have such
property appraised for property taxation on the basis of its productive capacity. The same land may not be qualified under both
Section 1-d and l-d-1.
Nonbusiness personal property, such as automobiles or light trucks, are exempt from ad valorem taxation unless the governing
body of a political subdivision elects to tax such property. Boats owned as nonbusiness property are exempt from ad valorem
taxation. State law additionally provides for one motor vehicle owned by an individual and used in the course of the owner's
occupation or profession, and for personal activities of the owner, to be exempted from ad valorem taxation.
Article VIII, Section 1-j, provides for "freeport property" to be ex.empted 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 lo tax may be reversed in the future; decisions to exempt freeport property are not subject to reversal. In
addition, under Section 11.253 of the Texas Tax Code, "goods-in-transit" are ex.empt from taxation unless a taxing unit opts out
of the exemption. Goods-in-transit are defined as tangible personal property that: (i) is acquired in or imported into the state to
be forwarded to another location in the state or outside the state; (ii) is detained at a location in the state in which the owner of the
property does not have a direct or indirect ownership interest for assembling, storing, manufacturing, processing, or fabricating
purposes by the person who acquired or imported the property; (iii) is transported to another location in the state or outside the
state not later than 175 days after the date lhe person acquired the property in or imported the property into the state; and (iv)
does not include oil, natural gas, petroleum products, aircraft, dealer's motor vehicle inventory, dealer's vessel and outboard
motor inventory, dealer's heavy equipment inventory, or retail manufactured housing inventory.
Article VIII, Section 1-n of the Texas Constitution provides for the exemption from tax.ation of "goods-in-transit." Under Section
I 1.253 of the Texas Tax Code, "Goods-in-Transit" are exempt from taxation unless a taxing unit opts out of the exemption.
Goods-in-Transit are defined as tangible persona! property that: (i) is acquired in or imported into the state to be forwarded to
another location in the state or outside the state; (ii) is detained al a location in the state in which the owner of the property does
not have a direct or indirect ownership interest for assembling, storing, manufacturing, processing, or fabricating purposes by the
person who acquired or imported the property; (iii) is transported to another location in the state or outside the state not later than
175 days after the date the person acquired the property in or imported the property into the state; and (iv) does not include oil,
natural gas, petroleum prpducts, aircraft, dealer's motor vehicle inventory, dealer's vessel and outboard motor inventory, dealer's
heavy equipment inventory, or retail manufactured housing inventory. A taxpayer may receive only one of the Freeport
exemptions or the goods-in-transit exemptions for items of personal property.
The City may create one or more tax increment financing zones under which the tax values on property in the zone are "frozen"
at the value of the property at the time of creation of the zone. Other overlapping taxing units may agree to contribute all or part
19
)
)
of future ad valorem taxes levied and collected against the value of property in the zone in excess of the "frozen value" to pay or
finance the costs of cenain 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 not 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
owner agrees to construct certain improvements on its property. The City in tum agrees not lo levy a tax on all or part of the
increased value attributable to the improvements until the expiration of the agreement. The abatement agreement may last for a
period ofup to IO years. See "TAX ABATEMENT POLICIES"below.
Cities are also authorized, pursuant to Chapter 380, Texas Local Government Code ("Chapter 380") to establish programs to
promote stale or local economic development and to stimulate business and commercial activity in the City. In accordance with a
program established pursuant to Chapter 380, the City may make loans or grant of public fund for economic development
purposes, however, no obligations secured by ad valorem taxes may be issued for such purposes unless approved by voters of the
City.
EFFECTIVE TAX RA TE AND ROLLBACK TAX RA TE
By each September 1, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the City Council adopts a tax rate per $100 taxable value for the
current year. The City Council is required to adopt 1he annual tax rate for the City before the later of September 30 or the 60th
day after the date the certified appraisal roll is received by the City. If the City Council does not adopt a tax rate by such required
date, the tax rate for that tax year is the lower of the "effective tax rate" calculated for that tax year or the tax rate adopted by the
City for the preceding tax year. The lax rate consists of two components: (]) a rate for funding of maintenance and operation
expenditures, and (2) a rate for debt service.
Under the Property Tax Code, the City must annually calculate and publicize its "effective tax rate" and "rollback tax rate". A tax
rate cannot be adopted by the City Council that exceeds the lower of the rollback tax rate or the effective tax rate until two public
hearings ace 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 that 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 voters of the
City, by petition, may require that an election be held to detennine whether or not to reduce the tax rate, adopted for the current
year, to the rollback tax rate.
"Effective tax rate" is defined as the rate that will produce 1he preceding year's total tax levy (adjusted) from the current 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" is defined as the rate that will produce the preceding year's maintenance and operation tax levy (adjusted)
from the current year's values (adjusted) multiplied by 1.08 plus a rate that will produce the current year's debt service from the
current year's values (unadjusted) divided by the anticipated tax collection rate.
The Property Tax Code provides that certain cities and counties in the State may submit a proposition to the voters to aulhorize
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 each year. Business inventoiy may, at the option of the taxpayer,
be assessed as of September I. Oil and gas reserves are assessed on the basis of a valuation process that uses an average of the
daily price of oil and gas from 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 of age or older are pennitted by State law to pay taxes on homesteads in four
installments with the first due on February I each year and the final installment due on August I.
PENALTIES AND INTEREST
Charges for penalty and interest on the unpaid balance of delinquent tax.es are made as follows:
Cumulative Cumuladve
Month Penal~% Interest% Total%
February 6 I 7
March 7 2 9
April 8 3 11
May 9 4 13
June IO 5 15
July 12 6 18
20
)
)
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
circumstances, delinquent taxes on the homestead of a taxpayer 65 years of age or older incur a penalty of 8% per annum with no
additional penalties or interest assessed. In general, property subject to the City's lien may be sold, in whole or in parcels,
pursuant to court order to collect the amounts due. Federal law does not allow for the collection of penalty and interest against an
estate in bankruptcy. Federal bankruptcy law provides that an automatic stay of action by creditors and other entities, including
governmental units, goes into eff~t with the filing of any petition in bankruptcy. The automatic stay prevents governmental units
from foreclosing on property and prevents liens for post-petition taxes from attaching to property and obtaining secured creditor
status unless, in either case, an order lifting the stay is obtained from the bankruptcy court. In many cases post-petition taxes are
paid as an administrative expense of the estate in bankruptcy or by order of the bankruptcy court.
CITY APPLICATION OFT AX CODE
The City grants a $ I 6,600 exemption to the market value of the residence homestead of persons 65 years of age or older; the
disabled are also granted an exemption of$10,000.
The City has not granted any part of the additional exemption of up to 20% of the market value of residence homesteads; the
minimum exemption that may be granted under this provision is $5,000.
The City has established the tax freeze on residence homesteads of disabled persons and persons 65 of age or older.
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 Disttict collects taxes for the City.
The City does not pennit split payments of taxes, and does not allow discounts for early payment of taxes, although discounts are
pennitted on a local-option basis by the Property Tax Code.
Since the 1999 tax year, the City has exempted freeport property from taxation.
The City does not tax goods-in-transit.
The City collects an additional one-eighth cent sales tax to help reduce ad valorem taxes. The City held an election on November
4, 2003, to increase sales tax one quarter cent, for a total of three eighths of a cent. The rate increase became effective on October
I, 2004.
TAX ABATEMENT POLICIES
The City has established a tax abatement program to encourage economic development. To be considered for tax abatement. a
project must be located in a reinvestment zone or enterprise zone (a commercial project must be in an enterprise zone) and must
meet several criteria pertaining to job creation and property value enhancement. The City had three enterprise zones that have
expired: the Lubbock 2000 North Enterprise Zone and the Lubbock 2000 South Enterprise Zone expired September I, 2008, and
the Lubbock International Airport Enterprise Zone that expired September I, 2005. In 2003, the Legislature made changes to the
statute governing enterprise zones, including designating zones by block group based on poverty rate. The block groups meeting
the criteria become enteiprise zone eligible, but can only be used for tax abatement if the new zones are activated. In November,
2007 the City activated thirty eligible block groups. At present, there are 20 active tax abatement agreements, principally for
companies located in the northeast and southeast sections of Lubbock. In accordance with State law, the City has 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 were given
full (100%) tax abatement, since 1997 the City has negotiated abatements on a declining percentage basis, with a portion of the
tax value added to the City's tax roll each year during the life of the abatement. The City's policies provide a variety of criteria
that affect the tenns of the abatement, including the projected life of the project, the type of business seeking abatement, with
certain businesses targeted for abatement, the amount of real or personal property to be added to the (Bl( roll, the number of jobs
to be created or retained, and 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 abated for City taxation
purposes, see "TABLE I -VALUATIONS, EXEMPTIONS AND GENERAL OBLIGATION DEBT."
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING ZONES
Chapter 311, Texas Tax Code, provides that the City and other taxing entities may designate a continuous geographic area in its
jurisdiction as a tax increment financing zone ("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
"Incremental Value" in the TIF to pay for TIF projects. Any ad valorem taxes relating to growth of the tax base in a TIF, above
the frozen base, may be used only to finance improvements within the TIF and are not available for the payment of other tax
supported debt of the City and other participating taxing units. Together with other taxing units, the City participates in two TIFs:
the Central Business District Reinvestment Zone (the "Downtown TIF') and the North Overton Tax Increment Financing
21
'\
)
Reinvestment Zone (the "'North Overton TIF").
The Downtown TIF covers a 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
$105,858,251. For tax year 2009, the Downtown TIF had a taxable value of $171,428,178 before taking into account tax
abatements and exemptions. After tax abatements and exemptions, the tax value in the Downtown TIF was $166,824,005. 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 City
Ordinance establishing the Downtown TIF provides that the Downtown TIF will terminate on December 31, 2021, or at an earlier
time designated by a subsequent City ordinance.
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. The City ordinance establishing the North Overton
TIF provides that the North Overton TIF will tenninate on December 31, 2031, or at an earlier time designated by a subsequent
City ordinance. The North Overton TIF consists of 325 acres near the Central Business District of Lubbock. The frozen tax base
for the North Overton TIF was established as of January 1, 2002, at $26,940,604. For tax year 2009, the North Overton TIF had a
taxable value of $279,910,784 before taking into account tax abatements and exemptions. After tax abatements and exemptions,
the tax value in the North Overton TIF was $278,423,523.

intends to make an interfund loan to cover the debt service and, if the projected development in the North Overton TIF
proceeds as expected, 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. (f that occurs, there could be years in

reached full build-out status. If revenues are insufficient and no interfund loan is made, the City is obligated to pay such
obligations from ad valorem taxes.

such information as being accurate or complete. Furthermore, certain of the entities listed may have issued additional Tax Debt
since the date hereof, and such entities may have programs requiring the issuance of substantial amounts of additional Tax Debt,
the amount of which cannot be determined. The following table reflects the estimated share of overlapping Tax Debt of the City.

ANTICIPATED ISSUANCE OF GENERAL OBLIGATION DEBT ... 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 identify projects that will be deferred or omitted entirely in future years. In addition, as conditions
change, new projects may be added that are not currently identified. Under current City policy, for a project to be funded as a
capital project it must have a cost of $25,000 or more and a life of seven or more years. For FY2009· IO, the City Council
approved $240.5 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 funds and airport. The Capital Projects Fund budget for
FY2009-10 also included an additional $490.8 million in future improvements for all City departments over the five 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 11, upon issuance of the Bonds, the City will have $4,181,000 of authorized but unissued bonds from the May
15, 2004 bond election and $34,230,000 from the November 3, 2009 bond election. 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, such as the Cetificates, to fund portions of the capital budget of the Electric
Fund, Waler Fund, Sewer Fund, Solid Waste Fund, Storm Water Fund, Tax Increment Fwui, Cemetery Fund,
Auditorium/Coliseum Fund, Hotel Occupancy Tax Fund, Gateway Fund and Airport Fund. As described elsewhere in the
Official Statement, such enterprise fund indebtedness is generally anticipated to be self-supporting from enterprise fund revenues.
The City plans to issue $ I 07,602,000 in additional general obligation debt within the next 12 months.

PENSION FUND ... TEXAS MUNICIPAL RETIREMENT SYSTEM<•~> ... All pennanent full-time City employees who are
not firefighters are covered by the Texas Municipal Retirement System (''TMRS"). TMRS is an agent, multiple-employer, public
employee retirement system covered by a State statute and 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 employee's contributions over-matched two for one by the
City. Since October 11, I 997, 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. 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, 2008, the actuarial value of assets held by TMRS (not including those of the Supplemental Disability Fund,
32
)
"\
)
which is "pooled") for the City were $205 million. Unfunded actuarial accrued liabilities on December 31, 2008, were $135
million and amonized over a 30-year closed period.
FlRE PENSION FUND (al_ •• City firefighters are members of the locally administered Lubbock Fire Pension 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
I 941 . Firefighters are not covered by Social Security.
The Fund is governed by seven trustees, consisting of three firefighters, two outside trustees (appointed by the other trustees), the
Mayor or the representative thereof, and the Chief Financial Officer or the representative thereof: Execution 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 "fonnu\a'' or a "final salary" plan. Actuarial reviews are performed every two
years, and the fund is audited annually. Firefighters contribute a percentage of full salary into the fund. Based on the plan
effective December I, 2005, the Fund's funding policy requires contributions equal to 12.43% of the firefighters' pay. The City
contributes on a basis of the percentage of salary, which is an annually adjusted ratio that bean the same relationship to the
firefighter's contribution rate that the City's rate paid into the TMRS and FICA bears to the rate other employees pay into the
TMRS and FICA. The December 31, 2008, actuarial valuation assumes the City's contributions will average 22% of payroll in
the future.
As of December 31, 2008, the most recent actu.arial valuation date, the plan was 78.3% funded. As of December 31, 2008, the
unfunded actuarial accrued liability was $40,019,171 amortized with the excess of the assumed total contribution rate over the
nonnal cost rate. The number of years needed to amortize the unfunded actuarial liability is detennined using an open, level
percent.age of payroll method, assuming that the payroll will increase 4% per year. The December 31, 2008 actuarial valuation
needed 30 years to amortize the unfunded actuarial accrued liability.
OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS ... The City currently provides certain post-employment benefits to its
employees. The City's annual OPEB expense is calculated based on the annual required contribution of the employer, an
amount actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB Statement 45. For further information regarding the
City's OPEB obligation, see Note Ill. F (Notes to the Basic Financial Statements) set forth in Appendix A.

TABLE 14-MUNICIPALSALES TAX HISTORY
The City has adopted the Municipal Sales and Use Tax Act, Chapter 321, Tellas Tax Code, which grants the City the power to
impose and levy a I% Local Sales and Use Tax within the City; the proceeds are credited to the General Fund and are not
pledged to the payment of the Obligations or other debt of the City. In addition, in January 1995, Lubbock approved the
imposition of an additional sales and use tax of one-eighth of a cent as authorized by Chapter 323 Tellas Tax Code, as amended.
Collection for the additional tax commenced in October 1995 with the proceeds from the onwighth 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 November 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 Cmporation Act (Article 5190.6, Texas Revised Civil Statutes), to be used for economic development in Lubbock.
The City began to receive proceeds of these taxes in October 2004. Collection and enforcement of the City's sales tax is effected
through the offices of the Comptroller of Public Accounts, State of Texas. The Comptroller remits the proceeds of the tax to the
City on a monthly basis after the deduction of a 2% service fee. Historical collections of the City's local Sales and Use Tax arc

FINANCIAL POLICIES
POLICIES
Basis of Accounting . . . The accounting policies of the City conform to generally accepted accounting principles of the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board and program standards adopted by the Government Finance Officer's Association of
the United States and Canada ("GFOA"). The GFOA has awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial
Reporting to the City for each of the fiscal years ended September 30, 1984 through September 30, 2002 and September 30, 2004
through September 30, 2008. The City will submit the City's 2009 report to GFOA to determine its eligibility for another
certificate.
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) ... Beginning with the year ended September 30, 2002, the City's CAFR has
been presented under the Governmental Accounting Standard Board ("GASB") Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements -
and Management's Discussion and Analysis -for State and Local Governments, GASB Statement No. 37, Basic Financial
Statements -and Management's Discussion and Analysis -for State and Local Governments: Omnibus, and GASB Statement
No. 38, Certain Financial Note Disclosures. 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 A.
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/undesignated fund balance that is at 97.2% of the target established by the
City's financial policies.
Water. Wastewq,er. 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 Storm Water fimds is an amount equal
to 15% of regular operating revenues. The City currently exceeds its policy on appropriable net assets and unrestricted net assets
for its various enterprise funds. According to unaudited numbers for FY 2009, the target net assets by policy and current
appropriable net assets for the Water, Wastewater, Storm Water, Solid Waste and Airport enterprise funds are as follows:
Ente!]!rise Fond Taa:et Net Assets hI Policr Aeero2riable Net Assets
Water $13.0 million $16.3 million
Wastewater $6.1 million $10.3 million
Storm Water $1.2 million $6.7 million
Solid Waste $2.5 million $7.6 million
Airport $1.0 million $4.S million
Electric Enterprise Fund Balance ... II is the policy of LP&L lo maintain unrestricted net ai,sets set by the City Charter. The
LP&L Governance Ordinance was amended in November of 2008 to include, among other things, changes to the requirements
regarding the reserve funds LP&L maintains. The LP&L Governance Ordinance requires the Electric Utility Board to (i)
maintain sufficient operating cash to satisfy all current accounts payable and (ii) maintain a general reserve fund that is equal to
the greater of four months gross retail electric revenue (GRR) as determined by taking the average monthly GRR from the
previous fiscal year or $50 million dollars. This general reserve fund shall be used for operational purposes, rate stabilization and
for meeting the electric utility demand of any rapid or unforeseen increase in residential and/or commercial development.
According to unaudited numbers for FY 2009, the target net assets by ordinance and current unrestricted net assets for LP&L are
as follows:
Enten,rise Fund
LP&L
Target Net Assets by Policy
$50.0 million
Unrestricted Net Assets
$62.5 million
At the end of FY 2009, LP&L fully funded its general reserve fund of$50 million.
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 sufficiency, without the need for additional monetary transfers from other funds
(although the Electric System received transfers fl-om the General Fund during FY 2003). Such self sufficiency is to be obtained
through the rates, fees and charges of each of these enterprise funds. For purposes of detennining self sufficiency, cost recovery
for each enterprise fund inc !udes 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 to 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.
37
)
Budgetary Procedures ... The City follows these procedures in establishing operating budgets:
I) Prior to August I, the City Manager submits to the City Council a proposed operating budget for the fiscal year commencing
the following October I. The operating budget includes proposed e;,i:penditures and the means of financing them.
2) Public hearings are conducted lo obtain ta;,i:payer comments.
3) Prior lo October I the budget is legally enacted through passage of an ordinance.
4) The City Manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts between accounts below the department level. Any transfer 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. Fonnal budgetary integration is not
employed for Debt Service funds because effective budgelary 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 Comprehensive
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 1990-08.
Insurance and Risk Management ... The City is self-insured for public entity liability and health benefits coverage. Risk
management purchases an $18 million excess insurance policy for liability claims in excess of$500,000, per occurrence. Airport
liability insurance and workers' compensation is insured under guaranteed cost policies. The Health Benefits are covered by a
self insured program with a $24,945,725 cap and a $350,000 individual cap for 2010. The City maintains insurance policies with
large deductibles for fire and extended property coverage and boiler and machinery coverage.
An Insurance Fund has been established in the Internal Service Fund to account for insurance programs and budgeted transfers
are made to this fund based upon estimated payments for claim losses.
At September 30, 2009 the unaudited total Net Assets of these insurance funds were as follows:
Self-insurance -health $8,699,962
Self-insurance -risk management $4,626,254
The City obtains an actuarial study of its risk mSJ1agement fund (the "Risk Fund") every year. In FY 2005, an actuarial study was
conducted that considered the types of insurance protection obtained by the City, the loss exposure and loss history, and claims
being paid or reserved that are not covered by insurance. The 2009 actuarial review recommended that the liabilities of the Risk
Fund be increased to $3,371,451 from $2,845,679 to the minimum expected confidence level of the Government Accounting
Standard Board Statement Number IO ("GASB 10"), which requires maintenance of risk management assets at a level
representing at least a 50% confidence level that all liabilities, if presented for payment immediately, could be paid. The Risk
Fund has net assets restricted for insurance claims of$ I ,042,459 over the recommended funding level. Given the risk net assets
balance, the City exceeds the minimum GASB IO requirement.
ADMINISTRATION
Since FY 2004, the City has implemented a number of significSJ1t changes in the administration and management of the City's
budgeting and fiscal needs. Certain of the measures implemented by the City to strengthen this process are described below.
Establishment of Audit and Investment Committee ... Through the adoption of a resolution in June 2003, the City Council
established an independent Audit and Investment Committee composed of five members. The Audit and Investment 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 perfonnances, internal fiscal controls, exposure and risk
assessment. The committee is appointed by the City Council and infonnally reports to the City Manager. The establishment of
the 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 ofinfonnation systems and security.
The chair of the committee is appointed by the Mayor and the other positions are filled by a vote of the City Council. At least
two members of the committee are required to have a background in financial reporting, accounting or auditing, at least one
member is required to be a certified public accountant, and at least one member is required to have an extensive background in
investments. The current membership of the committee consists of: Jim Brunjes, Senior Vice Chancellor and Chief Financial
Officer for the Texas Tech University System; Richard Griffith, owner of Richard Griffith Investments; R.J. Givens, a real estate
agent in the City; Kim Turner, the Director of Internal Audit at Te;,i:as Tech; and John Zwiachcr, a member of the Board of
Directors ofLP&L. Mr. Zwiacher is the chair of the committee.
Monthly Assessments of Revenues and Expenditures . . . Since FY 2006, City management assesses monthly the budgeted
expenditures and revenues of the City, and incorporates budget adjustments as necessary to better match expenditures with
revenues. Transfers within the various Funds of the City are implemented on an as-needed basis to take into account changes in
38
)
revenues projected to be received throughout a fiscal year as well as efficiencies realiud in the provision of services to the
citizens of the City.
Truth-in-Taxation ... In FY 2009, the City's total tax rate was set al $0.44640 per $100 taxable assessed valuation, the same as in
FY 2008. The City's tax roll increased $329.5 million, or 2.8%, from FY 2008 to FY 2009. The City Council, on June 12, 2003,
passed a resolution affirming their support for truth-in-taxation. The goal of this resolution is to allow the citizens to be better
informed 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. The
goal was affirmed in April 2004 in a resolution that stated the City Council has supported, as well as taken action, to provide tax
relief to property owners within the City. rn addition, the City Council recognized the need for the City to be autonomous in its
ability to provide the public safety, health, and quality of life for its citizens.

TAX MATTERS
TAX EXEMPTION OF SERIES 2010A BONDS AND SERIES 2010A CERTIFICATES
In the opinion of Vinson & Elkins L.L.P., Bond Counsel, (i) interest on the Series 2010A Bonds and the Series 2010A
Certificates (the "Tax-Exempt Obligations") is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes under existing law
and (ii) interest on the Tax-Exempt Obligations is not (A) a specific preference item subject to the alternative minimum tax on
individuals and corporations, or (B) included in a corporation's adjusted current earnings for purposes of the alternative minimum
tax.
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 Tax-Exempt Obligations, to be excludable 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 investment of bond proceeds prior to expenditure, a requirement that excess arbitrage earned on the investment
of bond proceeds be paid periodically to the United States and a requirement that the issuer file an information repon with the
Internal Revenue Service (the "Service"). The City has covenanted in the Ordinances that it will comply with these requirements.
Bond Counsel's opinion will assume continuing compliance with the covenants of the Ordinances pertaining to those sections of
the Code that affect the exclusion from gross income of interest on the Tax-Exempt Obligations for federal income tax purposes
and, in addition, will rely on representations by lhe City, the City's Financial Advisor and the Underwriters with respect to
matters solely within the knowledge of the City, the City's Financial Advisor and the Underwriters, respectively, which Bond
Counsel has not independently verified. If the City should fail to comply with the covenants in the Ordinances or if the foregoing
representations should be determined to be inaccurate or incomplete, interest on the Tax-Exempt Obligations could become
includable in gross income from the date of delivery of the Tax-Exempt Obligations, regardless of the date on which the event
causing such includability occurs.
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 Tax-Exempl Obligations.
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 no duty to update or supplement its opinions to
reflect any facts or circumstances that may thereatler 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 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 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 regarding whether or not the Service will
commence an audit of the Tax-Exempt Obligations. If an audit is commenced, in accordance with its current published
procedures the Service is likely to treat the City as the taxpayer and the Owners may not have a right to participate in such audit.
Public awareness of any future audit of the Tax-Exempt Obligations could adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Tax-
Exempt Obligations regardless of the ultimate outcome of the audit
ADDITIONAL FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO THE TAX-EXEMPT OBLIGATIONS
Collateral Tax Consequences
Prospective pw-chasers of the Tax-Exempt Obligations 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 incuned or continued indebtedness to purchase or carry 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 Tax-Exempt Obligations. These categories of prospective purchasers should
consult their own tax advisors as to the applicability of these consequences. Prospective purchasers of the Tax-Exempt
Obligations should also be aware that, under the Code, taxpayers are required to report on their returns the amount of tax-exempt
interest, such as interest on the Tax-Exempt Obligations, received or accrued during the year.
TH Accounting Treatment of Original Issue Premium
The issue price of all or a portion of the Tax-Exempt Obligations may exceed the stated redemption price payable at maturity of
such Tax-Exempt Obligations. Such Tax-Exempt Obligations (the "Premium Obligations") are considered for federal income tax
purposes to have "bond premium" equal to the amount of such excess. The basis of a Premium Obligation in the hands of an
initial owner is reduced by the amount of such excess that is amortized during the period such initial owner holds such Premium
Obligation in determining gain or loss for federal income tax purposes. This reduction in basis will increase the amount of 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 Obligation 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 amount of bond premium on a Premium Obligation that is
amortizable each year (or shorter period in the event of a sale or disposition of a Premium Obligation) is detennined using the
yield to maturity on the Premium Obligation based on the initial offering price of such Obligation.
41
'I
)
The federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and redemption, sale or other disposition of Premium
Obligations that are not purchased in the initial offering al the initial offering price may be determined according to rules that
differ from those described above. All owners of Premium Obligations should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the
determination for federal, state, and local income tax purposes of amortized bond premium upon the redemption, sale or other
disposition of a Premium Obligation and wilh respect to the federal, state, local, and foreign tax consequences of the purchase,
ownership, and sale, redemption or other disposition of such Premium Obligations.
Long First Coupon Consequences
Because the first interest payment on the Tax-Exempt Obligations will be made more than one year after the issue date, the Tax-
Exempt Obligations may be treated as issued at an "original issue discount" under current TreasW"y Regulations. Although the
interest on the Tax-Exempt Obligations will be excludab!e from gross income as discussed above, the interest on the Tax-Exempt
Obligations may be considered "original issue discount" for federal tax purposes. As a result, special tax accounting rules for
"original issue discount" may require a portion of certain interest payments to be taken into account for the taxable year or years
prior to the taxable year during which the interest payment is received for purposes of any alternative minimum taxable income
consequences for corporations and any collateral federal income tax conse.quences for certain purch= (referred to in the
preceding paragraph of this section). In addition, this treatment may also give rise to taxable "market discount" 10 secondary
market purchasers of Tax-Exempt Obligations. Prospective purchasers should consult their tax advisors regarding the application
of the "market discount" rules to the Tax-Exempt Obligations. For a discussion of the tax accounting treatment of"original issue
discount" on the Tax-Exempt Obligations in the hands of the initial purchasers that acquire Tax-Exempt Obligations at their issue
pri~, see the discussion below under" -Tax Accounting Treatment of Original Issue Discount Tax-Exempt Obligations."
Tax Accounting Treatment of Original Issue Discount Tax-Exempt Obligations
The issue price of all or a portion of the Tax-Exempt Obligations may be less than lhe stated redemption price payable at maturity
of such Tax-Exempt Obligations (the "Original Issue Discount Tax-Exempt Obligations"). In such case, the difference between
{i) the amount payable at the maturity of each Original Issue Discount Tax-Exempt Obligation, and (ii) the initial offering price
to the public of such Original Issue Discowit Tax-Exempt Obligation constitutes original issue discount with respect to such
Original Issue Discount Tax-Exempt Obligation in the hands of any owner who has purchased such Original Issue Discount Tax-
Exempt Obligation in the initial public offering of the Tax-Exempt Obligations. 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 Tax-Exempt Obligation equal to that portion of the amount of such original issue discount allocable to the period that
such Original Issue Discount Tax-Exempt Obligation 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 Tax-Exempt Obligations under the
captions "TAX MATTERS -TAX EXEMPTION OF SERIES 2010A BONDS AND SERIES 2010A CERTIFICATES" and
"TAX MATrERS -ADDITIONAL FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO THE TAX-EXEMPT
OBLIGATIONS • Collateral 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 other taxable disposition of such Original Issue Discount Tax-Exempt Obligations prior to
stated maturity, however, the amount realized by such owner in excess of the basis of such Original Issue Discount Tax-Exempt
Obligations 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 Tax-Exempt Obligation was held by such initial owner) is includable in gross income.
The foregoing discussion assumes that (i) the Underwriters have purchased the Tax-Exempt Obligations for contemporaneous
sale to the public and (ii) all of the Original Issue Discowit Tax-Exempt Obligations 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 in this Official Statement. Neither the City
nor Bond Counsel has made any investigation or offers any comfort that the Original Issue Discount Tax-Exempt Obligations
will be offered and sold in accordance with such assumptions.
Under existing law, the original issue discount on each Original Issue Discount Tax-Exempt Obligation 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 Tax-Exempt Obligations and ra.tably within each such six-month period) and the
accrued amount is added to an initial owner's basis for such Original Issue Discount Tax-Exempt Obligation for purposes of
determining 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 (i) the sum of the issue price and the amount of original issue
discount accrued in prior periods multiplied by the yield to stated maturity (determined on the basis of compounding at the close
of each accrual period and properly adjusted for the length of the accrual period) less (ii) the amowits payable as current interest
during such accrual period on such Tax-Exempt Obligation.
The federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership, and redemption, sale or other disposition of Original Issue
Discount Tax-Exempt Obligations that are not purchased in the initial offering at 1he initial offering price may be determined
according to rules that differ from those described above. All owners of Original Issue Discount Tax-Exempt Obligations should
consult their own tax advisors with respect to the determination for federal, state, and local income tax purposes of interest
accrued upon redemption, sale or other disposition of such Original Issue Discount Tax-Exempt Obligations and with respect to
the federal, state. local and foreign tax consequences of the purchase, ownership, redemption, sale or other disposition of such
Original Issue Discount Tax-Exempt Obligations.

SERIES 2010B BONDS AND SERIES 20108 CERTIFICATES
The following discussion describes certain U.S. federal income tax considerations of United States persons that are Owners of the
Series 2010B Bonds and the Series 20\0B Certificates (the 4'axable Obligations"). This discussion is based upon the provisions
of the Code, applicable Treasury Regulations promulgated and proposed thereunder, judicial authority and administrative
inlerpretations, as of the date hereof. all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, or are subject to different
interpretations. Owners cannot be assured that the Service will not challenge one or more of the tax consequences described
herein, and neither the City nor Bond Counsel has obtained, nor does the City or Bond Counsel intend to obtain, a ruling from the
Service with respect to the U.S. federal tax consequences of acquiring, holding or disposing of the Taxable Obligations. This
summary is limited to initial holders who purchase the Taxable Obligations for cash at their "issue price" (which will equal the
first price at which a substantial portion of the Taxable Obligations is sold for cash to persons other than bondhouses, brokers, or
similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters, placement agents, or wholesalers) and who hold the
Taxable Obligations as capital assets within section 1221 of the Code (generally property held for investment).
This summary does not discuss all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to an Owner in light of its particular
circumstances or to Owners subject to special rules, such as certain financial institutions, insurance companies, tax-exempt
organizations, foreign taxpayers, taxpayers who may be subject to the alternative minimum tax or personal holding company
provisions of the Code, dealers in securities or foreign currencies, or Owners whose functional currency (as defined in section
985 of the Code) is not the U.S. dollar, or to an Owner that might have purchased the Taxable Obligations in circumstances that
would give rise lo original interest discount, acquisition premium, market discount or amortizable premium. Except as stated
herein, this summary describes no federal, state or local tax consequences resulting from the ownership of, receipt of interest on,
or disposition of, the Taxable Obligations. Investors who are subject to special provisions of the Code should consult their own
tax advisors regarding the tax consequences to them of purchasing, holding, owning and disposing of the Taxable Obligations,
including the advisability of making any of the elections described below, before detennining whether to purchase the Taxable
Obligations.
The Code generally defines a "United States person" as (i) an individual who, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is a citizen or
resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, that
was created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, and any state thereof or the District of Columbia or any
political subdivision thereof, (iii) an estate the income of which is subject lo U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source
and (iv) a trust whose administration is subject to the primary supervision of a United State court and which has one or more
United States persons who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust. .
If a partnership (including an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds Taxable Obligations, the
tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Any Owner of
the Taxable Obligation that is a partner of a partnership that will hold Taxable Obligations should consult its tax advisor.
This discussion does not address any tax considerations arising under the laws of any foreign, state, local or other jurisdiction.
In General
Interest on a Taxable Obligation generally will be taxable in each year the Taxable Obligation is held by the Owner as ordinary
income without regard to the time it otherwise accrues or is received in accordance with such Owner's regular method of
accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Payments of Interest
Stated interest paid (and other original issue discount) on each Taxable Obligation will generally be taxable in each tax year held
by an Owner as ordinary interest income without regard to the time it otherwise accrues or is received in accordance with the
Owner's method of accounting for federal income tax purposes. Special rules governing the treatment of original issue discount
are described below.
Long First Coupon Consequences
Because the first interest payment on the Taxable Obligations will be made more than one year after the issue date, the Taxable
Obligations may be treated as issued at an "original issue discount" under current Treasury Regulations. For a discussion of the
tax accoWlting treatment of"original issue discount" on the Taxable Obligations in the hands of the initial purchasers that acquire
Taxable Obligations at their issue price, see the discussion below under .. -Original Issue Discount"
Original Issue Discount
Certain Taxable Obligations may be sold at a discount below their principal amount. As provided in the Code and the Treasury
Regulations, the excess of the "stated redemption price at maturity" (as defined below) of each such Taxable Obligation over its
issue price will be original issue discount if such excess equals or exceeds a de minimis amount (i.e., one quarter of one percent
of the Taxable Obligation's staled redemption price at maturity multiplied by the number ofcomplele years to its maturity). A
Taxable Obligation having original issue discount equal to or greater than a de minimis amount will be referred to an "Original
Issue Discount Taxable Obligation." Owners of Taxable Obligations that are not Original Issue Discount Taxable Obligations
will include any de minimis original issue discount in income, as capital gain, on a pro rata basis as principal payments are made
on the Taxable Obligation. The stated redemption price at maturity of an Taxable Obligation includes all payments on lhe
Taxable Obligations other than the stated interest amounts, which are based on a fixed rate and payable unconditionally at the end

of each six-month accrual period.
Except as described below, Owners of Original Issue Discount Taxable Obligations will have to include in gross income
(irrespective of their method of accounting) a portion of the original issue discount of the Original Issue Discount Taxable
Obligations for each year in which Original Issue Discount Taxable Obligations are held, even though the case to which such
income is attributable will not be receive until maturity of the Original Issue Discount Taxable Obligations. The amount of
original issue discount included in income for each year will be calculated under a constant yield to maturity formula that results
in the allocation of less original issue discount to earlier years of the terms of Original Issue Discount Taxable Obligations and
more original issue discount to the later years.
The foregoing summary is based on the assumptions that (i) the Underwriters have purchased the Taxable Obligations for
contemporaneous sale to the general public and not for investment purposes, (ii) all oflhe Taxable Obligations have been offered,
and a substantial amount of each maturity thereof has been sold, to the general public in arm's-length transactions for a cash price
(and with no other consideration being included) equal to the initial offering price thereof stated on the inside cover page of this
Official Statement, and (iii) the respective initial offering prices of the Taxable Obligations to the general public are equal to the
fair market value thereof. Neither the City nor Bond Counsel has made any investigation or offers and assurance that the Taxable
Obligations will be offered and sold in accordance with such assumptions.
Accrual Method Election
Under the Treasury Regulations relating to original issue discount, an Owner that uses an accrual method of accounting would be
permitted to elect to include in gross income its entire return on a Taxable Obligation (i.e., the excess of all remaining payments
to be received on the Taxable Obligation over the amount paid for the Taxable Obligation by such Owner}, based on the
compounding of interest at a constant rate. Such an election for an Taxable Obligation with amortizable bond premiwn (or
market discount) would result in a deemed election for all of the Owner's debt instruments, with amortizable bond premiwn (or
market discount) and could be revoked only with the permission of the Service with respect to debt instruments acquired after
revocation.
Disposition or Retirement
Upon the sale, exchange or certain other dispositions of a Taxable Obligation, or upon the retirement of a Taxable Obligation
(including by redemption), an Owner will generally recognize capital gain or loss. This gain or loss will equal the difference, if
any, between the Owner's adjusted tax basis in the Taxable Obligation and the proceeds the Owner receives, excluding any
proceeds attributable to accrued interest, which will be recognized as ordinary interest income to the extent the owner has not
previously included in the accrued interest income.
The proceeds an Owner receives will include the amount of any cash and the fair market value of any other property received for
the Taxable Obligation. Notwithstanding the discussion under ''Original Issue Discount," an Owner's tax basis in the Taxable
Obligation will generally equal the amount the Owner paid for the Taxable Obligation. The gain or loss will be long-tenn capital
gain or loss if the Owner held the Taxable Obligation for more than one year. Long-tenn capital gains of individuals, estates and
trusts currently are subject to a reduced tax rate. The deductibility of capital losses may be subject to limitation.
Defeasance oftbe Taxable Obligations
Defeasance of any of the Taxable Obligations may result in a reissuance thereof, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in which
event an Owner may recognize taxable gain or loss as described above, even if such Owner does not receive any cash in such
defeasance transaction.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
Information reporting will apply to payments of interest on, or the proceeds of the sale or other disposition of, the Taxable
Obligations held by an Owner, and backup withholding may apply unless such Owner provides the appropriate intermediazy with
a taxpayer identification number, certified under penalties of perjury, as well as certain other infonnation or otherwise establishes
an exemption from backup withholding. Any amount withheld under the backup withholding rules is allowable as a credit
against the Owner's actual U.S. federal income tax liability and such Owner timely provides the required infonnation or
appropriate claim form to the Service.
Treasury Circular 230 Disclosure
The tax discussion set forth above was written to support the marketing of the Taxable Obligations and is not intended or written
by Bond Counsel to be used, and it cannot be used, by any taxpayer for the purpose of avoiding any penalties that may be
imposed on a taxpayer by the Service in respect of federal income taxes. No limitation has been imposed by Bond Counsel on
disclosure of the tax treatment or tax structure of the Taxable Obligations. Bond CoWlsel will receive a non-refundable fee
contingent upon the successful marketing of the Taxable Obligations, but not contingent on any taxpayer's realization of tax
benefits from the Taxable Obligations. AU taxpayers should seek advice based on such taxpayer's particular circwnstances from
an independent tax advisor. This disclosure is provided to comply with Treasury Circular 230.
IN ADDIDON, THE FEDERAL TAX DISCUSSION SET FORTH ABOVE IS INCLUDED FOR GENERAL INFORMATION
ONLY AND MAY NOT BE APPLICABLE DEPENDING UPON AN OWNER'S PARTICULAR SITIJATION. INVESTORS
SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE TAX IMPLICATIONS OF HOLDING AND
DISPOSING OF THE TAXABLE OBLIGATIONS UNDER APPLICABLE STATE OR LOCAL LAWS. FOREIGN

OTHER INFORMATION
RATINGS
The Obligations are rated "Aa3" by Moody's Investors Service, Inc., "AA+" by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, a Division
of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. and "AA" by Fitch Ratings. An explanation of the significance of such ratings may be
obtained from the company furnishing the rating. The ratings reflect only the respective views of such organizations and the City
makes no representation as to the approprialeness 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 any or all of such rating companies, if in
the judgment of any or all companies, circumstances so warrant. Any such downward revision or withdrawal of such ratings may

LmGATION
The City is involved in various legal proceedings related to alleged personal and property damages, torts, breach of contract and
civil rights cases, some of which involve claims against the City that exceed $500,000. State law limits municipal liability for
personal injury at $250,000/$500,000 and property damage at $100,000 per claim. The following represents the significant
litigation against the City at this time. For purposes of this report, included are only suits in which the City has exposure greater
than $50,000.
The City's insurance coverage, if available, contains either a $250,000 self-insured retention or a $500,000 self-insured retention
depending on the date of the occurrence.
The City, its Police Chief, and two police officers have been sued for violation of a citizen's first amendment rights when the
plaintiff's film from his camera was confiscated by the police while the individual was photographing a children's basketball
game. The matter has been dismissed on a plea to the jurisdiction, and the plaintiff appealed the court's decision. The Court of
Appeals reversed the trial court's decision and remanded the case back to the trial court. The plaintiff did not seek monetary
damages except for attorney's fees. The trial was held in August and the jury found in the plaintiff's favor and awarded $116,000
in attorney's fees. The City is appealing the case.
The City and a police officer have been sued by an individual on behalf of himself and his children rising out of the death of the
plaintiff's teenage daughter and injuries to his son from an automobile accident with the police officer. The plaintiff alleges that
the officer was operating the vehicle in a negligent manner and was speeding at the time of the automobile collision. The
defendants have asserted that the driver of the vehicle carrying the plaintiff's children was negligent in failing to yield the right-
of-way to the police officer. The City filed a motion for summary judgment which was granted based on the fact the plaintiff did
not file a claim with the City. The Court of Appeals reversed the decision and remanded the case back for trial. The City appealed
the case to the Texas Supreme Court but the Court refused to hear the case. The case is now back in the trial court. The City
Attorney believes there is insurance covering the claims.
The City, Garza County, Kenl County, and the Texas Attorney General's Office has been sued by Templeton Mortgage for
certain rights regarding the restrictive easements at Lake Alan Henry as well as other areas such as the use of water. This is not a.
damages case, but the court has authority to grant attorneys fees to the prevailing party. Trial was held in May 2009, with the
City prevailing on all but one issue. Despite this ruling, Plaintiff is still seeking attorney fees in an undisclosed amount. The City
is also seeking attorney fees from the Plaintiff. The attorney fees issue has yet lo be argued before the Court.
The City has been sued by Templeton Mortgage and Mark Brown for damages to his property because of the rising and falling of
water at Lake Alan Henry. He argues that if the restrictive easements are strictly enforced as interpreted by the City of Lubbock,
he will not be able to build a structure to stop the erosion of his property, thus causing him damage. There is no insurance on the
damage claim. Plaintiff is currently asserting damages of$ I 00,000.
The City is being sued by a lady who fell at the Civic Center. She alleges that the bleachers were defective in that they were
unstable, causing her to fall. The lessor of the event procured insurance in which the City was named as an additional insured.
The City is being defended by the insurer in this case.
The City is being sued by a City employee in two separate lawsuits pertaining to auto accidents he was involved in while working
for the City. In one case, he was involved in an accident with an intoxicated automobile driver. Plaintiff has sued the driver
along with her insurance carrier, another insurance carrier, and the City pursuant to its uninsured motorist coverage. There is
little doubt that the driver was at fault. However, the driver carried only $20,000 worth of insurance. The City, purs\Wlt to its
workers' compensation coverage, has paid for most of the Plaintitrs medical expenses although some of the expenses are in
dispute. The City is contesting whether the City provides uninsured motorist coverage to employees if they are injured on duty.
The second lawsuit involves minimal damages and the City is setting forth the same defenses. The City believes there is
insurance coverage in this matter.
The City is also being sued by a former police officer under the Texas Whistleblower Act. She claims that she was lerminated
for reporting certain allegations against her estranged husband. The City is asserting that the report was not made in good faith,
and in fact was false. Plaintiff is claiming damages of over $970,000. The City has insurance in this case with a $500,000 self-
insured retention.
45
)
The City is involved in a lawsuit in which the owner of a car wash is asserting that the City improperly performed an abatement
as to his car wash. He alleges that the City's contractor damaged equipment in the car wash while taking down the roof. The
City is asserting that the equipment was already damaged due to the storm that damaged the roof.
The City has also been put on notice ofa possible lawsuit by the estate of Tim Cole who was wrongfully convicted of rape back
in the i 980's. At this time, the estate desires to depose a number of officers that were working on the investigation during the
l 980's. There is no question that Tim Cole was innocent of the rapes for which he was convicted. He later died while he was in
prison. Given that the incident occurred during the 1980's, the City has insurance with the Texas Municipal League ("TML "} in
the amount of $11,000,000. TML has hired Bill Wade, with Crenshaw, Dupree & Milam, to defend this potential lawsuit.
The City also has three employee matters under current litigation. These matters are being handled by Craig, Tenill, Hale, and
Grantham, LLP.
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 are of the opinion that the City's available sources for payment of any
such claims, which include insurance policies and City reserves for self insured claims, are adequate to pay any foreseeable
damages (see "FINANCIAL POLICIES -Insurance and Risk Management").
On the date of delivery of the Obligations to the Underwriters, the City will execute and deliver 10 the Underwriters a certificate
to the effect that, except as disclosed herein, no significant litigation of any nature has been filed or is pending, as of that date, to
restrain or enjoin the issuance or delivery of the Obligations or which would affect the provisions for their payment or security or
in any manner question the validity of the Obligations.
INVESTIGA TJONS RELATING TO CITY'S HEAL TH INSURANCE ADMINISTRATOR
In 2006, the City hired an outside independent auditing company, Benefit Plan Partners, a California company, (the "Auditor") to
conduct an audit of its contract (the "Administration Contract") with its then current health insurance administrator, American
Administrative Group, Inc. ("AAG"). The Administration Contract provided for AAG's administration of all City employee
claims on the City's self-insured health insurance. The Auditor found numerous possible overcharges and elTOrs by AAG during
the term of the Administration Contract, including overcharges possibly arising from unauthorized commissions taken by AAG
and possible payments to AAG by phannacies as rebates. The outside Auditor estimated the aforementioned errors and
overcharges to be approximately $2 million.
The Administration Contract tenninated by its own terms in December 2006, and AAG has ceased to administer any claims for
the City. The City has hired another third party administrator to administer the run-out claims that accrued prior to December
2006. The City selected Blue Cross Blue Shield to be the City's new health insurance administrator beginning Januazy 2007.
In March 2007, the City filed an application wilh the State district court to compel AAG to preserve and provide documentation
relating to the Administration Contract and claims submitted by City employees during the tenn of the Administration Contract.
It is the intent of the City to utilize such documentation to complete the audit by Benefit Plan Partners ofits contract with AAG to
determine whether any further overcharges have occurred.
The trial court never issued a ruling as to the City's application and instead referred the matter to arbitration. The City will
continue to pursue the documents and any damages it may be entitled in the arbitration. AAG also sued the City for damages to
its business in the amount of$450,000. Arbitration has been scheduled in these matters for March-April 2010.
In an attempt to obtain the necessary documents to conduct the audit, the City attempted to obtain the necessary documents
directly from Covenant Health System. Covenant was unsure it could release the documents to the City as it opined such could
be a violation ofHIPAA. The City filed a declaratory judgment action in federal court against Covenant seeking a declaration as
to whether Covenants release of these documents violated HIPAA. HealthSmart intervened in the lawsuit presumably in an
attempt to prevent the release of the documents. The matter is still pending. No damages are being sought by any party in the
suit.
Another lawsuit has been filed by AAG against Lee Ann Dumbauld, City Manager; Scott Snider, Assistant City Manager; Leisa
Hutcheson, City Risk Manager; and David Miller, former Mayor. The lawsuit arises from the City's selecting Blue Cross as its
new third party administrator instead of AAG. The City employees were sued for civil conspiracy, misappropriation, tortious
interference with existing and prospective contracts, business disparagement; and defamation. The City is providing a defense
for the employees and is seeking money from Travelers Insurance. Travelers Insurance is disputing this. Even though the City
employees have counter suited the plaintiff, the City is only paying for the defense of the lawsuit against the employees.
The City is aware that federal authorities, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, have conducted investigations with
respect to matters relating lo AAG, the Administration Contract, and the selection by the City of Blue Cross Blue Shield as its
health insurance administrator. On May 14, 2008, a search wanant issued by the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of
Texas Lubbock Division required that FBI agents search and seize various written and electronic records of the City relating to
these matters. No subpoenas at this time have been directed at, or issued to, the City in regards to these investigations. The City
believes these investigations may still be ongoing.
REGISTRA TJON AND QUALIFICATION OF OBLIGATIONS FOR SALE
The sale of the Obligations has not been registered under the Federal Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance upon the
exemption provided thereunder by Section 3(a)(2); and the Obligations have not been qualified under the Securities Act of Texas

Honorable Mayor, City Council, and Citizens of Lubbock, Texas:
We are pleased to submit the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) of the City of Lubbock,
Texas for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008. The purpose of the CAFR is to provide accurate and
meaningful information concerning the City's financial condition and perfonnance. In addition,
independent auditors have verified that the City has fairly presented its financial position, in all material
respects.
The CAFR satisfies Section l 03.001 of the Texas Local Government Code requiring annual audits of all
municipalities. Responsibility for both the accuracy of the presented data and the completeness and
fairness of the presentation, including all disclosures, rests with the City. We believe the data is accurate
in all material respects and is presented in a manner that fairly sets forth the financial position and results
of the City. We also believe all disclosures necessary to enable the reader to gain an understanding of the
City's financial affairs have been included. To provide a reasonable basis for making these
representations, City management 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 conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America (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.
The City's financial statements have been audited by BK.D, LLP, a firm of licensed certified public
accountants. The goal of the independent audit is to provide reasonable assurance that the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. The independent audit involves:
• examining evidence on a test basis that supports 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 has concluded that the City's financial statements are in conformity with GAAP,
are fairly represented, and there is a reasonable basis for providing an unqualified opinion. The
independent auditor's report is presented as the first component of the financial section of this report.
The independent accountants' audit of the City's financial statements is part of a broader, federally
mandated "Single Audit", which is designed to meet the special needs of federal granting agencies. These
reports are available in the City's separately issued Single Audit Report. The standards governing Single
Audit engagements require the independent auditor to report on several facets of the granting agencies'
financial processes and controls:
• Fair presentation of the financial statements,
• Internal controls involving the administration of federal awards, and
• Compliance with legal and grant requirements.
GAAP requires management to provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany the
basic financial statements in the form of a Management Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). This letter of
transmittal is designed to complement the MD&A. The City's MD&A can be found immediately
following the report of the independent accountants.
THE CITY AND ITS ORGANIZATION
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 CounciVManager fonn of
government with a City Council comprised of the Mayor and six council members. The Mayor is elected
at-large for a two-year tenn ending in an even-numbered year. Each of the six members of the City
Council is elected from a single-member district for a four-year term of office. The terms of three
members of the City Council expire in each even-numbered year. The City Manager is the chief
administrative officer for the City. The City is empowered to levy a property tax on both real and
personal properties located within its boWldaries. It is also empowered by state statute to extend its
corporate limits by annexation, which occurs periodically as the City Council deems appropriate. The
2000 Census population for the City was 199,564; the estimated 2008 population is 214,847. The City
covers approximately 119.9 square miles.
City Services
The City provides a full range of services including public safety {police and fire protection), electric,
water and wastewater, stonn water, solid waste, public transportation, health and social services, culture-
recreation, highways and streets, airport, planning and zoning, and general administrative services.
Public Safety: The Police Department serves and protects the public by conducting criminal
investigations and enforcing laws governing public health, and order. The department is staffed with 377
sworn officers. The Fire Department serves to minimize loss of life and property from the effects of fires
by quickly responding to emergencies. The department operates 15 fire stations and is staffed with 334
sworn firefighters. During 2008 the City improved it insurance standards rating, going from a Class 3 to
a Class 2 on a measurement of 10 with Class 1 representing the best public protection.

Electric Utility: Electric service in the City is provided by Lubbock Power and Light (LP&L), Xcel
Energy, and South Plains Electric Cooperative. LP&L is the municipal-owned electric company and has
73,619 meters with an average daily consumption of 4,485,835 kWh. LP&L has 14 substations, one
substation under construction, more than 1,030 miles of distribution lines, and approximately 85 miles of
transmission lines.
Water Utility: To assist with the strategic development of additional water supplies, the City Council
established the Lubbock Water Advisory Commission in July 2003, with the primary objective of
developing a I 00-year water supply plan. In July of 2007, with the recommendation of the Lubbock
Water Advisory Commission, the City Council approved the Strategic Water Supply Plan for Lubbock.
The City has also worked closely with the Region O Planning Group in preparing the State Water Plan,
which includes the City's water supply needs and alternatives.
The City has initiated five major water and wastewater studies over the past four years in order to help
develop the Strategic Water Supply Plan. The Water Texas study was completed in 2004 and laid the
foundation for additional work so the City could document both current and future water needs for annual
supply and peak day demand. The City has also completed preliminary engineering and final design for
improvements to the Southeast Water Reclamation Plant to improve the quality of the City's effluent
discharge and prepare for possible future reuse.
The City obtains 10 billion gallons of its annual water supply from Canadian River Municipal Water
Authority (CRMW A). CRMW A 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. The
City secures the remaining 2 billion gallons of its annual water supply from groundwater in Bailey and
Lamb counties. The City provides water service to over 77,000 meters through 1,400 miles of
distribution lines. In addition to Lubbock, the City also services the communities of Shallowater, Ransom
Canyon, Buffalo Springs Lake, Reese Redevelopment Authority, and Lubbock Cooper and Roosevelt
school districts.
The daily capacity of the City water supply and treatment system is 81 million gallons per day with an
average utilization of 33 million gallons per day. In the Bailey County Well Field, the City has 160 active
water wells with 83,265 acres of water rights. CRMW A allocates more than 10 billion gallons of water
to the City annually. Lake Alan Henry, built by the City in 1993, is in development as a future water
source. In order for the City to utilize water from Lake Alan Henry, the construction of pump stations, a
pipeline, and a new water treatment plant is required. Preliminary engineering for these improvements
was completed in November of 2007 and final design is now underway. The projected construction
completion date is 2012.
CRMW A has secured additional acres of groundwater rights in the Northern Texas Panhandle. The
additional groundwater rights have increased the total from 42,000 to 265,999 acres with estimated 15
million acre feet of water within those rights. Conservative projections, using current secured water
rights, indicate CRMW A will be able to provide groundwater supplies utilizing existing infrastructure
through the year 2097.
Wastewater Utility: Wastewater collection and treatment is provided within the city limits to residential,
commercial, and industrial customers. As of January 1, 2008, the collection system consists of996 miles
of sanitary sewer lines. The wastewater treatment plant has a capacity of 31.5 million gallons per day
(permitted capacity) and an average utilization of approximately 23 million gallons per day. The peak
utilization of the wastewater treatment plant is 27 million gallons per day. The City has completed Phase
I and begun construction of Phase II of a four phase project to upgrade the Southeast Water Reclamation
3
Honorable Mayor, City Council,
And Citizens of the City of Lubbock, Texas
February 13, 2009
Plant. Phase I included upgrades and improvements to the influent lift station. Phase II construction has
begun and includes upgrades to Plant 3 for filtration and ultraviolet disinfection and Plant 4 for biological
nutrient removal, filtration and ultraviolet disinfection. Phase III will include design and construction
improvements to solids and handling. Phase IV will include upgrades to Plant 3 for biological removal.
The improvements will produce a high quality of effluent that will be discharged for potential reuse into
the North Fork of the Double Mountain Fork of the Brazos River.
Storm Water Utility: The City's stonn drainage is primarily conveyed through the City's 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 separate municipal storm sewer system (MS4) is made up of approximately 3,000 lane miles
of paved and unpaved streets, 555 linear miles of paved and unpaved alleys, 1,188 stonn sewer inlets, 70
miles of subsurface storm sewer pipe, three detention basins, 115 playa lakes, and one pwnp station.
Maintenance of all of the stonn sewers and street cleaning are funded through storm water fees.
During FY 2007-08, a primary focus of the storm water utility was the completion of the South Lubbock
Drainage Project -Phase I Main Trunk Line. This project was substantially completed approximately
one year ahead of schedule and has connected six playa lakes. Construction for Phase IA of the South
Lubbock Project began in FY 2007-08. This project will add five additional playa lakes to the Project,
and is scheduled for completion in 20 l 0.
Other areas of activity within the Storm Water Utility during FY 2007-08 included the following:
•
•
•
• • •
Received the new Texas Pollution Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) MS4 permit issued by the
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ}. Efforts are underway to generate a
comprehensive Stonn Water Ordinance in order to comply with the provisions set forth in the new
MS4permit.
Completed and submitted information to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for
the Flood Insurance Restudy of two of the playa lake systems. The study is currently awaiting review
by FEMA for further action.
Began a master plan of the northwest quadrant of the City as well as an update to the Master Drainage
Plan for western and southern portions of the City.
Continued evaluating options for flood risk reduction at Maxey Park Lake .
Continued video inspection and cleaning of the downtown area storm sewer pipelines .
Continued the design of drainage improvements at Mose Hood and Stumpy Hamilton Parks .
Solld Waste Utility: The City provides garbage collection and disposal services to 65,829 residential
customers and 2,829 commercial customers. One of the City's two landfill sites is designated as the North
Avenue P Landfill and includes a citizen's transfer station. The second site is the West Texas Regional
Disposal Facility. The West Texas Regional Disposal Facility opened in 1999 and is one of the largest
landfills in the State of Texas. With 1,260 acres, the expected useful life is more than 92 years.
Public Transportatwn: Citibus provides public transportation for the City and is professionally managed
by McDonald Transit Associates, Inc. Citibus provides a Fixed Route Service, CitiAccess (paratransit
system), evening service, and other special services. CitiAccess is a curb-to-curb service for disabled
members of the community. The Citibus evening service is designed to meet the needs of CitiAccess and
fixed route passengers who rely on public transit. A majority of evening service passengers work at night
and use the service for transportation to and from their jobs. In addition, Citibus offers route service for
4

And Citizens of the City of Lubbock, Texas
February 13, 2009
Texas Tech University. Finally, Citibus is the contracted agent for passenger sales and freight shipping
and receiving for Greyhound Lines, Inc. operating out of the Downtown Transfer Plaza.
Hea/,th and Social Services: The City has a housing and community development program implemented
and administered through funding from the Federal Community Development Block Grant Program,
HOME Investment Partnership Program, and Emergency Shelter Grant Program. Through these
programs, the City has completed work on over 196 houses and created 3 jobs through an economic
development loan program.
The City also receives funding from the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs. These
funds allow the City to offer additional programs to its citizens. Through these programs, 71 homes or
141 individuals received assistance in weatherizing their home to make their home more energy efficient;
1,369 households received utility assistance; 54 individuals graduated from the Self-Sufficiency Program;
and, 25,093 residents received referral assistance through the Infonnation and Referral Hotline.
Culture-Recreation: Cultural and recreational services are provided by the City through four libraries, 80
parks, and 57 playgrounds. Other recreational facilities include 4 swimming pools, 58 tennis courts, 48
baseball and softball fields, a cultural arts center, five community centers, and five senior centers. To
further enhance quality of life and to provide support to tourism, the City operates the Memorial Civic
Center, City Bank Coliseum, City Bank Auditorium, the Buddy Hotly Center, the Wells Fargo
Amphitheatre, and the Silent Wings Museum.
The City is financially accountable for a legally separate civic services corporation and three economic
development corporations, 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.
Highways and Streets: The City is responsible for the construction and maintenance of 1,058 centerline
miles of paved streets.
In 2004 the City Council established the Gateway Streets Program. The program, funded primarily
through 40 percent of franchise fees, opens areas of the City through thoroughfare construction. The
Gateway Streets Program consists of the Northwest Passage, which includes City thoroughfare streets and
Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) improvements in Northwest Lubbock, as well as other
thoroughfare improvements in other parts of the City.
The City streets portion of the Northwest Passage consists of the widening of Erskine Street from
Frankford Avenue to Salem Road, and the construction of Slide Road from 4111 Street to Erskine. The
construction of a Slide Road overpass at Loop 289, is being funded by the City, and will be constructed
by TxDOT as part of a larger Loop 289 improvement project.
Other major street improvement projects approved by the City Council for design include: Indiana
Avenue from 103rd Street to FM 1585; Quaker Avenue from 98th Street to FM 1585; I 14th Street from
Quaker Avenue to Slide Road; Frankford Avenue from 98th Street to 114th Street; 98th Street from
Frankford Avenue to Milwaukee Avenue; and Milwaukee Avenue from 94th Street to FM 1585. The
construction of 98th Street from Slide Road to Frankford Avenue was completed during FY 2007-08.
Lubbock Preston Smith International, Airport: A key component of Lubbock's transportation system is
the Lubbock Preston Smith International Airport, located seven miles north of the City's central business
district on 3,000 acres of land adjacent to Interstate 27. The Airport is operated as a department of the
5
Honorable Mayor, City Council,
And Citizens of the City of Lubbock, Texas
February 13, 2009
City, with the guidance of an advisory board, and includes a 220,000 square foot passenger tenninal
building. The Airport has two commercial service runways, 11,500 and 8,000 feet in length. The
Airport's third general aviation runway is 2,869 feet in length. Air traffic control services include a 24-
hour Federal Aviation Administration control tower and a full range of instrument approaches. The
Airport is served by four major passenger airlines and two major cargo airlines having over 80
commercial flights per day.
Annual Budget Process
The annual operating budget serves as the foundation for the City's financial planning and control. All
City departments submit requests for appropriation to the City Manager each year. The City Manager
uses these requests as the starting point for developing the proposed Operating Budget and Capital
Program. The City Manager then presents the proposed Operating Budget and Capital Program to the
City Council for review, as required by City Charter. The City Cowtcil is required to hold a public
hearing on the proposed Operating Budget and Capital Program and to adopt it no later than September
30, the close of the City's fiscal year. The adopted Operating Budget and Capital Program appropriates
funding at the departmental level in the General Fund, at the fund level in the other funds, and at the
project level in the Capital Program.
The General Fund Operating Budget is adopted on a basis other than GAAP, with the main difference
being that capital lease proceeds and related capital outlay are not budgeted. Budgetary control is
maintained at the department level. Management may make administrative transfers and increases or
decreases between accounts below the department level without Council approval. However, any transfer
of funds between departments, the legal level of control, or higher level shall be presented to Council for
approval by ordinance before such funds can be transferred between departments or expended. All annual
operating appropriations lapse at the end of the fiscal year. Capital Project appropriations do not lapse at
fiscal year end but remain in effect until the project is completed and closed.
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 economy. The following information is provided to highlight a broad
range of economic forces that support the City's operations.
Local Economy
Lubbock has a stable economy with historically slow and steady growth, which has continued throughout
FY 2007-08. Lubbock's agriculturally based economy has diversified over the past 20 years, which has
minimized the effects of business cycles experienced by individual sectors.
The South Plains is one of the most productive agricultural areas in the United States. In 2008, 17.4
percent of the nation's cotton crop and 46.3 percent of the state's cotton crop were produced by farmers in
the Southern High Plains District. Southern High Plains production was 2.36 million bales, down 44. 7
percent from record highs in 2006 and 2007. The decrease in production was due to weather conditions
(United States Department of Agriculture, National Agriculture Statistics Service, Texas County Data -
Crops, retrieved from http://www.nass.usda.gov/QuickStats/PullData_US_CNTY.jsp ).
The City has strong manufacturing, wholesale and retail trade, services, and government sectors.
Manufacturing includes a diverse group of employers who support approximately 5,200 workers. A
6

central location and access to transportation have contributed to Lubbock's development as a regional
warehousing and distribution center. Lubbock serves as the major retail trade center and health care
provider for a region of more than a half million people. A breakdown of the percent of employment base
by industry category has been provided, giving a snapshot of the industry base of the City.

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. Total enrollment for all higher
education institutions in Lubbock for fall 2008 is 46,032. This is a 1.1 percent increase over the
enrollment for fall of 2007. The availability of graduates in the City is an added advantage to local
industries as the universities and colleges continue to produce a ready source of qualified labor. (City of
Lubbock Finance Department, Secondary and Higher Education Enrollments 2000-2008. Fall 2008)
The health care and social services sector is also a vital component of the Lubbock economy, with more
than 19,435 employees and payroll of more than $712 million (U.S. Census Bureau, 2006 County
Business Patterns, retrieved from http://censtats.census.gov/cgi-binlcbpnaiclcbpsect.pl (2-year delay in
publication)).
Lubbock Economic Index
The Lubbock Economic Index is designed to represent the general condition of the Lubbock economy by
tracking local economic growth rates. The base year for the index was 1996, when the index was set to
100. The economic index for September 2008 is 132.8, which represents an increase of 1.2 percent from
September 2007.
The Lubbock Economic Index rose to record levels in FY 2007-08, with September marking the fourth
consecutive monthly increase in the Index. Local and regional spending by households and businesses
remains the bright spot in the economy, along with continued strength in the construction sector and gains
in home building.

The total number of new residential permits through September 2008 increased 12.9 percent over 2007
levels, and valuation amounts were $207.l million, or 27.9 percent, higher than 2007 valuations (City of
Lubbock Building Inspection Department, September 2008, Building Inspection Statistical Report).
The average home sale price, through September 2008, has increased l 0.3 percent over the September
2007 average home sale price {Texas A&M University Real Estate Center, Lubbock Residential Housing
Activity Report, retrieved from http://recenter.tamu.edu/data/datahs.html).
Sales Tax Collections
Sales tax collections for September 2008 were 5.8 percent higher than the September 2007 level (FY
2008 and FY 2007 City of Lubbock Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, Statement of Activities).
Tourism/Visitor Related Indicators
Lodging tax receipts increased from $2.9 million in September 2007 to $3.0 million in September 2008, a
3.9 percent increase. Airline boardings at Lubbock Preston Smith International Airport decreased 0.6
percent from FY 2006--07 to FY 2007~08 (Ingham Economic Reporting, September 2008, Lubbock
Economic Index and Consumer Price Index. Amarillo, Texas: Karr Ingham).
Employment
The total non-agricultural employment estimate for September 2008 was 128,600. This is a 0.2 percent
improvement over September 2007. There were 300 more people employed in September 2008 than in
September 2007. The unemployment rate for the Lubbock Metropolitan Statistical Area in September
2008 was 4.0 percent. the 4th lowest in the State of Texas. Historically, Lubbock has had a low rate of
unemployment that is one to two percent below the national rate and about one percent below the state
rate (Texas Workforce Commission, LMCI Economic Profiles, retrieved from
http://www.tracer2.corn/admin/uploadedpublications/1724_1ubbockmsa.pdf).

Economic Development
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 three cents of the property tax allocation.
In October 2004, the Lubbock Economic Development Alliance (LEDA}, an economic development sales
tax corporation, assumed responsibility for economic development. LEDA program strategies include
business retention, business recruitment, workforce development, foreign trade zone, and the bioscience
initiative. LEDA is funded by a l/8 cent economic development sales tax. Total allocated tax revenues
for Market Lubbock, Inc. and LEDA for FY 2007-08 were $7,381,355. During the last year, through
their business retention, expansion, and attraction programs, LEDA assisted 12 companies in the creation
of 589 new jobs with an annual payroll of $17.9 million and capital investment of$34.8 million.
The City's Business Development Department works closely with LEDA to provide assistance 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, two Tax Increment Financing Reinvestment Zones and all
Public Improvement Districts.
Development Initiatives
Overton Park: Overton Park, a fonner blighted area called North Overton, is a 300-acre revitali7.ation
project adjacent to the downtown area of Lubbock. Overton Park has developed much faster than
anticipated.
By the end of 2008, three student oriented apartment complexes were completed along with The Centre,
an apartment complex built over upscale retail. Other projects completed were City Bank, Starbucks,
Super Wal-Mart, a retail center adjacent to Wal-Mart, and the first phase of Main Street Condominiums.
The second phase of the condominiums and nine single family houses were nearing completion.
There were several projects under construction at the end of 2008. An hotel/conference center project
began construction in September 2007 with an estimated completion date of July 2009. The Suites, an
apartment complex, is under construction and should be completed in late 2009. A retail center adjacent
to the hotel/conference center began construction in early 2008 and should be completed in 2009. The
Cottages, a large multi-family project, began construction in 2008 and is expected to be completed by
August 2009. The Overton Park project, as a whole, is running three years ahead of schedule with much
of the construction now expected to be complete by the end of 20 I 0.
The City of Lubbock, Lubbock County, Lubbock Hospital District and High Plains Underground Water
District have participated in this public/private project with the creation of a Tax Increment Financing
Reinvestment Zone that has funded the replacement of the 80-year old infrastructure. According to the
latest Project and Finance Plan for the North Overton Tax Increment Financing Reinvestment Zone (TIP),
there are planned expenditures of approximately $41. 7 million for public infrastructure improvements,
which will result in an increase of taxable value of approximately $530 million over the TIF's 30-year
life. The 2008 appraised value of the North Overton TIF was $209.9 million, which is a $183 million
increase over the 2002 base year value.
North and East Lubbock Community Development Corporation: While Lubbock grew during the last
50 years, the areas of north and east Lubbock experienced an out-migration of people. From 1960 to
2000, the area's population decreased by 47 percent. In response to the deterioration of north and east
Lubbock, the City created the North and East Lubbock Community Development Corporation
IO
Honorable Mayor, City Council,
And Citizens of the City ofLubbock, Texas
February 13, 2009
(NELCDC) in 2004 to oversee and promote development in the area. The City also committed to provide
funding to the NELCDC for four years. King's Dominion, a new single-family housing project, consists
of fifteen homes with a sixteenth presently under construction. The NELCDC has also placed twenty-
three families into scattered site developments, and has an additional two homes under construction. At
the end of 2008, the NELCDC has originated $1,678,245 in mortgages for King's Dominion and an
additional $1,914,301 for scattered site developments.
Downtown Redevelopment: The City of Lubbock Central Business District (CBD) has developed over
the years with traditional office, retail, and governmental agency uses. As for many cities in the last ten
to twenty years, retail has moved to shopping areas and other areas outside the CBD, and office
development has stagnated. On December 3, 2001, in an effort to reverse that trend and to stimulate
further development downtown, the City established the CBD Tax Increment Finance Reinvestment Zone
(TIF). Also in 2005, the City Council created the Downtown Redevlopment Commission (DRC) who
retained a consultant to draft a Revitalization Action Plan for the downtown area. During the planning
process, the DRC conducted one-on-one interviews with business and property owners in the downtown
area and held three public meetings to receive input from citizens on their vision for downtown.
The new Revitalization Action Plan (Plan) for downtown Lubbock was completed in FY 2007--08. The
Plan has been approved by the TIF Board of Directors and the City Council. The City issued an RFQ in
FY 2007--08 for a Master Developer to implement the Plan. On December 4, 2008, the City Council
contracted with McDougal Land Company, LT. to provide Consulting/Master Developer services to
implement the Plan.
Other ResidentiaVCommercial Development: Growth in commercial and residential construction
occurred at a healthy rate throughout the past five years. Construction on several new residential and
commercial developments has continued. The Cottages, a multi-family project in Overton Park, will have
an expected $50 million investment and should be completed by August 2009. Vintage Township, a
residential/commercial development will have an expected $350 million investment. Development along
Milwaukee A venue is expected to generate a total investment in commercial/residential development of
approximately $844 million in the next five to ten years.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Long-term financial planning
The City uses ten-year rate models for long-range planning in all enterprise funds as a basis for budget
discussion and policy decision-making. These models are based on current projects and policies and are
driven by the idea that the rate should be annually adjusted to reflect the service needs of the citizens and
long tenn capital needs. Because of this philosophy, the rates in the models are annually trimmed to
leave as little excess as possible, after allowing for financially sound net asset reserves, as established by
City Council Policy. The models, in association with the City's Five-Year Forecast, provide anticipated
trends given current policies.

Cash management policies and practices
Cash is invested in U.S. Agencies, money market mutual funds, and state investment pools. The
maturities of the investments range from I day to 3 years, with an average maturity of approximately
11.25 months. The average yield on investments for FY 2008 \\\as 4.21 percent for the City's operating
funds and 3.21 percent for the City's bond funds. Investment income is enhanced with increases in the
fair value of investments. Increases in fair value during the current year, however, do not necessarily
represent trends that will continue; nor is it always possible to realize such amounts, especially in the case
of temporary changes in the fair value of investments that the City intends to bold to maturity.
Risk management
During 2007, the City continued its use of third party workers' compensation coverage on an initial dollar
coverage basis. The City is primarily self-insured for va1fous liability coverages with an attachment point
of $500,000 per occurrence and $10,000,000 aggregate annual coverage.
During 2007, the City's Health Benefits Fund continued its self-insured status for medical and dental.
The current stop loss coverage provides for $175,000 individual attachment and a $18,181,945 aggregate
attachment point. The City also carried transplant insurance on an initial dollar basis. 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, through the Texas Municipal
Retirement System, 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 ensure that the
plan will be able to fully meet its obligations to retired employees. 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 of
December 31, 2007, the City has funded 61.4 percent of the present value of the projected benefits earned
by employees. The remaining unfunded amount is being systematically funded over 30 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 Fire Pension Fund (LFPF), which is administered by the Board
of Trustees. The City contributes an amount that is determined by a fonnula and is 19.97 percent of
firefighter's pay.
The City provides 34 percent to 73 percent of post retirement health and 8 percent to 38 percent of dental
care benefits for retirees or their dependents.
Additional infonnation on the City's pension arrangements and post employment benefits can be found in
the notes to the financial statements.

As discussed in Note J.J., in 2008, the City changed its method of accounting for post employment benefits
other than pensions and its method of disclosures of pension information by implementing Governmental
Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 45, Accounting and Financial Reporting by Employers for
Postemp/oyment Benefits Other than Pensions and Statement No. 50, Pensions Disclosures.
In accordance with Govemmem Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated
February 13, 2009, on our consideration of the City's internal control over financial reporting and our
tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements and
other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over
financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the
internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit
perfonned in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be considered in assessing the
results of our audit.
The accompanying management's discussion and analysis, budgetary infonnation and schedule of
funding progress related to pension plans and other postemployment benefits as listed in the table of
contents are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information
required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. We have applied certain limited procedures,
which consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and
presentation of the required supplementary infonnation. However, we did not audit the information and
express no opinion on it.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of fonrnng opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the City's basic financial statements. The accompanying supplementary information, as listed
in the table of contents is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the
basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
The accompanying information in the introductory and statistical sections as listed in the table of contents
has not been subjected to the procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and,
accordingly, we express no opinion on it.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
For the Year Ended September 30, 2008
The Management Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) provides a narrative overview and analysis of the
financial activities of the City of Lubbock for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008.
Readers of the financial statements are encouraged to consider the information included in the transmittal
letter and in the other sections of the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) e.g., combining
statements, and the statistical section in conjunction with the MD&A.
Financial Highlights
The following financial highlights summarize the City's financial position and operations as presented in
more detail in the Basic Financial Statements (BFS).
• The City's assets exceeded its liabilities at September 30, 2008, by $666.5 million (net assets), of
which $136.4 million (unrestricted net assets) may be used to meet the City's ongoing obligations
to citizens and creditors.
• The City's total net assets increased by $26.5 million as a result of operations during the fiscal
year.
• The ending unreserved fund balance for the General Fund was $19.8 million, or 18.6% of total
General Fund revenues; an increase of $0.8 million from the prior year.
• The City's governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $130.5 million, of
which $19.8 million is available for spending at the City's discretion.
• The City's enterprise funds reported combined ending net assets of $517.3 million, of which
$96.3 million is available for spending at the City's discretion.
• During FY 2008, the City issued $169 .8 million in debt for capital projects.
Overview of the Financial Statements
Basic Financial Statements. The 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). The CAFR contains
other supplementary information in addition to the BFS.
Government-Wide Financial Statements. The GWFS, shown on pages 35-37 of the CAFR, contain the
Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities, described below:
The Statement of Net Assets presents information on the City's assets and liabilities (including capital
assets and short-and long-tenn liabilities), with the difference between the two reported as net assets
using the accrual basis of accounting. 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 Statement of Activities presents a comparison between direct expenses and program revenues for each
of the City's functions or programs. Direct expenses are specifically associated with an activity and are
therefore clearly identifiable with that activity. Program revenues include charges paid by the recipient of
the goods or services offered by the program. Program revenues also include grants and contributions
restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular activity. Revenues not directly
19

City of Lubbock, Texas
Management's Discussion and Analysis
For the Year Ended September 30, 2008
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-fmancing, or alternatively,
draws from any City generated general revenues.
Governmental activities (activities principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues) of the
City include administrative services and general government, community services, cultural and recreation,
economic and business development, fire, health, police, other public safety, and streets and traffic.
Business-type activities (activities intended to recover all of their costs through user fees and charges) of
the City include Electric, Water, Wastewater, Solid Waste, Stonn Water, Transit, Airport, Civic Centers,
and Cemetery. Electric includes Lubbock Power and Light {LP&L) and West Texas Municipal Power
Agency (WTMPA). All changes in net assets arc reported as soon as the underlying event 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 the City (the "primary government''}, and four legally separate
entities (the "component units") for which the City is financially accountable. The component units
consist of: Market Lubbock Economic Development Corporation, d/b/a Market Lubbock, Inc., Lubbock
Economic Development Alliance, Civic Lubbock, Inc., and Vintage Township Public Facilities
Corporation. The component units provide economic development services, arts and cultural activities,
and public improvement financing for the City. Financial information for the component units is reported
separately in the GWFS to differentiate them from the City's financial information. No component unit is
considered a major component unit.
Fund Financial Statements. Afund is defined as a fiscal and accounting entity with a self-balancing set
of accounts recording cash and other financial resources, 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 financial reporting model is to demonstrate fiscal accountability. The
City, as with other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate
compliance with finance-related legal requirements.
The focus of the FFS is on major funds. Major funds are those that meet minimum criteria (a percentage
of assets, liabilities, revenue, or expenditures/expenses of fund category and of the governmental and
enterprise funds combined), or those that the City chooses to report as major funds given their qualitative
significance. Non.major 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 RSI. All
funds of the City can be divided into two categories: governmental funds and proprietary funds.
Gollernmental FFS. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported
as governmental activities in the GWFS. However, unlike 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 natTOwer than that of the GWFS (modified accrual versus
accrual basis of accowiting, and current financial resources versus economic resources), it is useful to
compare the infonnation presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for
20

City of Lubbock, Texas
Management's Discussion and Analysis
For the Year Ended September 30, 2008
governmental activities in the GWFS. By doing so, the reader may better understand the long-tenn
impact of 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 27 individual governmental funds. Infonnation 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 and the Governmental Capital Projects Fwid, both of
which are considered to be major funds. The governmental FFS can be found on pages 38-41 of the
CAFR. Data for the other 25 governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation.
The City adopts a budget annually for the Genera] Fund and all other funds. In the RSI section, a
budgetary comparison statement for the Genera] Fund has been provided to demonstrate compliance with
the budget.
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. Enterprise FFS provide
the same type of information as the GWFS, only in more detail. The City uses enterprise funds to account
for LP&L, Water, Wastewater, WTMPA, Storm Water, Transit, Solid Waste, Aiq>0rt, Civic Centers, and
Cemetery activities, of which the first five activities are considered to be major funds by the City and are
presented separately. The latter five activities are considered non-major funds and are combined into a
single aggregated presentation.
Internal service funds are an accowiting device used to accumulate and allocate costs internally among
the City's various functions. The City uses internal service funds to account for vehicle service
operations and fueling, central warehouse and printing services, information technology services, risk
management, health benefits, and investment pool funds. 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 the GWFS. Al] internal
service funds are combined into a single aggregated presentation in the proprietary FFS. Reconciliations
are provided for the proprietary fund statement of net assets and the proprietary fund statement of
revenues, expenses, and changes in fund net assets for comparison between enterprise funds and business-
type activities. The proprietary FFS can be found on pages 42-53 of the CAFR.
Notes to Basic Financial Statements. The notes provide additional infonnation that is essential to a full
understanding of the data provided in the GWFS and FPS. The notes can be found on pages 55-94 of the
CAFR.
Other Information. In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report
also presents certain Required Supplementary Information (RSI) concerning the City's progress in
funding its obligation to provide pension and post retirement benefits to its employees and retirees. The
General Fund budgetary comparison demonstrating the legal level of budgetary control can also be found
as part of RSI. RSI can be found on pages 95-99 of the CAFR.

As noted earlier, net assets serve as a useful indicator of the City's financial position. Assets exceeded
liabilities by $666.5 million (net assets) at the close of the fiscal year, compared to assets exceeding
liabilities by $640.0 million (net assets) at the end of the prior fiscal year. As a result of operations, total
net assets increased by $26.5 million during the period.

Approximately 74.5% of the City's net assets reflect its investment in capital assets, e.g., land, buildings,
infrastructure, machinery, and equipment, less any related outstanding debt used to acquire those assets.
The City uses capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, those assets are not available for
future spending. Although the City's investment in capital assets is reported net of related debt, the
resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources since the capital assets cannot be
used to liquidate the liabilities.
The City has restricted net assets totaling 5.0% of total net assets, which represent resources subject to
external restrictions on how they may be used. Such resources include bond funds restricted to be spent
for specified capital projects, debt service reserves restricted by bond covenants, passenger facility
charges restricted for airport improvements, and grant programs restricted for specific pwposes. The
remaining balance of unrestricted net assets of $136.4 million may be used to meet the City's ongoing
obligations.
The City reports positive balances in all three categories of net assets for the City as a whole, and for its
separate governmental activities and business-type activities.

City of Lubbock, Texas
Management's Discussion and Analysis
For the Year Ended September 30, 2008
Governmental activities. The City's governmental activities experienced a decrease in net assets of $1.8
million, compared to a decrease of $8. 7 miltion during the prior fiscal year. Key elements of the
operational decrease include:
• Revenues increased approximately $20.3 million, from $14 7 .1 million to $167 .4 million.
o Capital grants and contributions accounted for the largest increase, rising from $4.3 million in FY
2007 to $15.9 million in FY 2008. In FY 2008, private foundations and private developers
granted money and donated property in the amount of$7.5 million for a conference center. In FY
2008, private developers donated $6.5 million of streets, alley ways, and parks; compared to $3.6
million in the prior year with most of the developer increase due to donations for the Vintage
Township development.
o Property taxes increased from $47.0 million in FY 2007 to $50.3 million in FY 2008. The
property tax rate was $0.45505 per $100 of assessed value in FY 2008, compared to $0.46 I 99 per
$100 of assessed value in FY 2007. While the tax rate decreased, taxable assessed values
increased from $10.4 billion in FY 2007 to $11.3 billion in FY 2008.
o Sales tax revenue totaled $50.5 million, an increase of $2.8 million from the prior year, reflecting
Lubbock's growing economy.
o Charges for services increased $2.1 million to $12. 7 million, primarily due to revenue recognized
from prepaid paving jobs at the completion of street projects.
• Total expenses decreased $1.9 million from the prior year, from $166.4 million to $164.5 million.
o Fire expenses totaled $31.8 million, a $4.5 million increase from the prior year. ln FY 2008, the
City Council authorized 21 new fire fighter positions, 2 new division chief positions, 2 new fire
inspector positions, and a 5-year firefighter compensation plan to achieve salaries that rank in the
top 10 of fire departments in the State. Vehicle costs and computer expenses also increased
accordingly with the increase in personnel.
o Police expenses totaled $46.9 million, a $3.8 million increase from the prior year with most of the
increase occurring in salaries and benefits. Police has the largest number of employees in
governmental activities and received the largest allocation of post retirement benefit expense due
to the adoption of GASB Statement No. 45. In FY 2008, the City implemented a shift differential
program and certification pay for police officers. In addition, higher fuel costs and increased
vehicle maintenance expenses occurred.
o Streets and traffic expenses totaled $16.4 million, a decrease of $10.5 million from the prior year,
primarily due to a one-time $12.5 million contribution in FY 2007 to the Texas Department of
Transportation (TxDOT), which provided funding for the Marsha Sharp Freeway project.
Exclusive of the TxDOT transaction, costs in streets increased for planned use of prepaid paving
funds and additional depreciation on infrastructure added by donated and dedicated assets.
o Cultural and recreation expense totaled $16.7 million, a decrease of $3.0 million from the prior
year as a result of moving the Civic Centers from a govenunental activity in FY 2007 to a
business-type activity in FY 2008.
o Interest expense totaled $8.4 million, an increase of $1.4 million from the prior year as a result of
additional bonded indebtedness and capital leases.
• Transfers to or from business-type activities during the fiscal year reduced governmental activities'
net assets $4.7 million. During the prior fiscal year, the transfers increased governmental activities'
net assets by $10.6 million.
o $1 3.8 million of on~time transfers from governmental activities to business-type activities
consisting of capital assets, net of long-term liabilities, were made in FY 2008. Most of the

For the Year Ended September 30, 2008
transfers were related to moving the Civic Center, Auditorium, and Coliseum from the
governmental funds to the Civic Centers Enterprise Fund.
o Transfers from business-type activities included payments in 1ieu of taxes, franchise fees, and
indirect costs of operations for centralized services such as payroll and purchasing to
governmental activities. The most notable increase in payments was related to a contribution
from LP&L totaling $1.0 million for a payment in lieu of franchise fees.
o Transfers from governmental activities to business-type activities increased due to General Fund
support of the newly created Civic Centers Enterprise Fund and increased contributions to Transit
due to a decline in Federal funding.

Business-type activities. The City's business-type activities experienced an increase in net assets of
$28.3 million during FY 2008, compared to an increase of $26.5 million during the prior fiscal year. Key
elements of the increase from operations include:
• Revenues for business-type activities totaled $283.7 million in FY 2008, an increase of $12.1 million
from the prior year.
o Charges for services for business-type activities totaled $260.5 million in FY 2008, an increase of
$16. 7 million from the prior year.
o Electric operations, which include LP&L and WTMPA, accounted for $7.2 million of the
increase in charges for services. Charges for services in the electric operations consist principally
of the retail sale of electricity to residential, commercial, and government customers, and off-
system sales to wholesale power customers. LP&L charges a base rate for electric service, which
remained consistent between FY 2007 and FY 2008, plus a fuel cost adjustment rate for electric
service, which increased in FY 2008. Offsetting the increase in charges for services was a $14.5
million decline in revenues related to gas sales to a third party wholesaler. LP&L's gas supplier

Management's Discussion and Analysis

exhausted its supply during the prior fiscal year, and as a result, sales to the third party wholesaler
were eliminated.
o Water and Wastewater operations accounted for $8.3 million of the increase in charges for
services. Water rates increased 11 % in March 2007 and again in March 2008 when the City, in
an attempt to encourage water conservation, implemented a tiered water rate structure with higher
rates charged for peak demand and excess usage. The rate increase was necessary to pay debt
service on aging infrastructure and water supply projects. The City continues to implement
mandatory water conservation efforts as part of its drought management plan due to low levels of
water in area reservoirs. Water levels continues to fluctuate from year to year depending on the
amount of annual rainfall, while the new water rate structure has moderated peak water use and
revenue in summer months. Water revenue was $42.5 million in FY 2008, an increase of $7.1
million over the prior year. Wastewater revenue was $21.1 million, an increase of $1.2 million
over the prior year. Wastewater had a mid-year rate increase and processed additional water as
water usage increased.
o Operating grants, capital grants, and contributions continued to be a significant revenue source
for business-type activities during FY 2008, producing $11.1 million in revenue. This is a $3.5
million decrease from $14.6 million during the prior year. The decrease is primarily due to fewer
developer donated assets to the Water and Wastewater Funds.
• Expenses for business-type activities were $260.1 million in FY 2008, an increase of $25.6 million.
o Collection expense decreased in the LP&L Fund by $4.1 million, with an offsetting increase in
Water. Wastewater, Solid Waste, and Stonn Water due to a change in recording interfund activity
for billing and other services provided to other utility funds by the LP&L. In FY 2008, operating
expenses of LP&L were reduced by charges to other utility funds, and operating expenses of the
other utility funds were increased. In FY 2007, the other utility funds transferred funds to the
LP&L Fwid to pay for services provided by the LP&L Fund.
o Electric operating expenses were $153.1 million, an increase of $7.3 million from the prior year.
Fuel purchases, after eliminating interfund activity between LP&L and WTMPA, decreased from
$123.3 million in FY 2007 to $121.0 million in FY 2008. In FY 2007, surplus fuel for sale to a
third party wholesaler totaled $12.8 million; however, there were no purchases of surplus fuel in
FY 2008 as supplies were exhausted. The average cost of fuel for use in the production of
electrical power and for sale to government users increased in FY 2008.
o Expenses in Water and Wastewater Funds were $38.4 million and $19.0 million, respectively.
Water expenses increased by $6.3 million and Wastewater expenses increased by $1.0 million
over the prior fiscal year. Three staff positions were added and additional supplies and
contractors were needed in order to address frequent pipeline breaks. Interest expense in the
funds increased by $2.0 million as more debt has been incurred during the last few years to
address future water supply needs and infrastructure and facility improvements.
o Expenses in Storm Water were $7.7 million, an increase of $3.8 million from the prior year. In
FY 2008, five staff members were added to comply with the MS4 permit and video inspections of
storm sewers were perfonned. The Storm Water Fund continued to issue debt to pay for capital
improvements to the stonn water system, resulting in an increase of interest expense of $1.0
million.
o Civic Centers, with expenses of $4.1 million, was recorded as a business-type activity beginning
in FY 2008.

Governmental funds. The focus of the City's governmental.funds is to provide information on near-term
inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such infonnation is useful in assessing the City's
financing requirements. In particular, unreserved fund balance serves as a useful measure of the City's
resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.
At the end of the year, the City's governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $130.5
million, compared to $110.2 million at the end of the prior fiscal year. The increase is primarily the result
of debt issued for North Overton Tax Increment Finance Reinvestment Zone Capital Projects and
Gateway Streets Capital Projects, which exceeded capital outlays by $22.9 million. Unreserved fund
balance, which is available for spending at the City's discretion, amounts to $19.8 million, or 15.2% of
the ending governmental fund balance. This is compared to $19.0 million, or 17.2% of ending
governmental fund balance, at the end of the prior fiscal year. There is $21. 7 million, or l 6. 7% of ending
governmental fund balance, reported in unreserved fund balance designated in special revenue funds.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
For the Year Ended September 30, 2008
This is compared to $24.9 million, or 22.6% of ending governmental fund balance, at the end of the prior
fiscal year. The reason for the reduction in unreserved fund balance was primarily due to a transfer of
$1.8 million from the Information Technology Fund and $0.3 million from the Print Shop and Warehouse
fund to the General Fund that represented funds in excess of policy levels. The remainder of the fund
balance is reserved to indicate it has already been committed to pay debt service, use in construction of
approved capital projects, or is restricted for other purposes.
The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the City. At the end of the fiscal year, unreserved fund
balance in the General Fund was $19.8 million, compared to $19.0 million in the previous fiscal year,
representing an increase of approximately $0.8 million. Total fund balance (reserved and unreserved) was
$20.0 million at the end of the fiscal year, compared to $19.1 million at the end of the prior fiscal year.
As a measure of the General Fund's liquidity, it is useful to compare both unreserved fund balance and
total fund balance to total fund revenues. Unreserved fund balance represented 18.6% of total General
Fund revenues compared to 18.5% of total General Fund revenue in the prior year. Total fund balance
was 18. 7% of total General Fund revenues in FY 2008 and FY 2007.
Proprietary funds. The City's proprietary fund statements provide essentially the same type of
information found in the GWFS, but in more detail. Unrestricted net assets of the major proprietary funds
at the end of September 30 are shown next with amounts presented in thousands:
2008 2007
LP&L $ 62,540 $ 51,020
Water Fund 2,764 9,663
Wastewater Fund 5,829 8,270
WfMPA 1,883 1,514
Storm Water 6,318 9,158
$ 79,334 $ 79,625
The LP&L Fund increased unrestricted net assets by $11.5 million, compared to an increase of $18.9
million during the prior year. The increase is due to the results of operations and the decision of the City
Council to reduce the charge for payments in lieu of franchise fees to increase cash reserves.
At the end of the fiscal year, the Water Fund unrestricted net assets decreased $6.9 million, compared to a
decrease of $1.2 million from the prior year. The FY 2008 adopted budget included a $6.4 million
utilization of net assets in an effort to smooth rate increases over a five-year period. Net assets were
utilized and acted as a rate stabilizer, while future rates were planned in a manner that ultimately leaves
the fund with sufficient net assets in accordance with policy levels.
At the end of the fiscal year, the Wastewater Fund unrestricted net assets decreased $2.4 million
compared to a $1.3 million decrease during the prior year. In FY 2008, the City budgeted $1.5 million
utilization of net assets to smooth rate increases over a five-year period. Net assets were utilized and
acted as a rate stabilizer, while future rates were planned in a manner that ultimately leaves the fund with
sufficient net assets in accordance with policy levels.

City of Lubbock, Texas
Management's Discussion and Analysis
For the Year Ended September 30, 2008
The WTMPA Fund had an increase in unrestricted net assets of $0.4 million, compared to an increase in
unrestricted nets assets of $0.2 million during the prior fiscal year.
The Storm Water Fund experienced a decrease in unrestricted net assets of $2.8 million during the fiscal
year, compared to a $0.9 million decrease in the prior fiscal year. In FY 2008, the City budgeted $1.5
million utilization of net assets. Unrestricted net assets are in excess of policy levels, and will continue to
act as a rate stabilizer as debt service expenditures exceed revenues. A rate increase is planned for FY
2009-10 when the unrestricted net assets reach policy levels.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
The final amended budget expenditures and transfers out increased by $84,463 over the original budget.
The main reason for the increase was related to encwnbrances that had lapsed in the prior year that were
appropriated in FY 2008.
Revenues and transfers in the General Fund were under budget by $.2 million. The General Fund ended
the fiscal year with expenditures and transfers out of $.4 million more than budgeted. The City budgets
on a basis other than Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), with the main difference being
that capital lease proceeds and related capital outlay are not budgeted.
Capital Assets and Debt Administration
Capital assets. The City's investment in capital assets for its governmental and business-type activities
at September 30, 2008, totaled $1.0247 billion net of accwnulated depreciation, a $48.3 million increase
over the prior fiscal year's balance of $951. 7 million net of accumulated depreciation. The investment in
capital assets includes land, buildings and improvements, equipment, construction in progress, and
infrastructure.

• The North Overton Tax Increment Finance reinvestment zone (TIF) spent $7.9 million on the
construction of a conference center.
• The City began construction on the Southeast Water Reclamation Plant. Phase II of the project
includes the design and construction of improvements associated to upgrade Plant 4 for biological

There is no direct debt limitation in the City Charter or under state law. 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 pennits an allocation of $1.50 of the $2.50
maximum tax rate for general obligation bonds debt service. The current interest and sinking fund tax
rate per $ l 00 of assessed valuation is $0.07125, which is significantly below the maximum allowable tax
rate.
As of September 30, 2008, the City's total outstanding debt has increased by $139.5 million, or 24.6%
over the prior fiscal year. The increase in outstanding debt is attributed to the issuance of $169.8 million
in debt, offset by the payment of scheduled debt service totaling $30.3 million.

outlooks for LP&L are as follows:
Standard & Poor's, BBB (positive outlook)
Fitch Ratings, BBB+ (stable outlook)

City of Lubbock, Texas
Management's Discussion and Analysis
For the Year Ended September 30, 2008
• Total occupancy in local hotels and motels improved, and the local occupancy tax totaled nearly $4.2
million, a 10.5% increase over the prior fiscal year.
The above factors were considered in preparing the City's budget for FY 2009.
• In FY 2009, the City continues to focus on public safety, transportation infrastructure, and the
development of future water supplies. The FY 2009 budget focuses on maintaining core services and,
at the same time, decreasing the tax rate by $0.00865 per $ I 00 valuation.
• The City adopted a tax rate of $0.44640 in FY 2009. General Fund revenue from property tax is
lower than the prior fiscal year by $498,956 due to a shift of $0.01975 of the tax rate from General
Fund operation and maintenance to debt service and the $0.00865 reduction in the rate to offset
increasing property valuations.
• Sales tax estimates for FY 2009 call for no growth due to the all-time high cost of fuel, natural gas,
and corresponding utility rates. Though Lubbock's economy is solid, a conservative approach is
financially prudent at this time. Total General Fund revenue projections are $0.89 million over FY
2008 amowits.
• A resumption of payment in lieu of franchise fees for LP&L will result in a $5.0 million dollar
transfer to the City. The allocation of the payment will be $3.7 million to the General Fund and $1.3
million to the Gateway Fund.
• The City's fuel costs are expected to increase $2.7 million in FY 2009. The increase totals $1.l
million in the General Fund, $0.9 million in the Solid Waste Fund, $0.5 million in the Water and
Wastewater Funds, and $0.2 million in all other funds. Fuel estimates are based on the City's fuel
price on June 2, 2008, of $3.83 per gallon for unleaded and $4.25 per gallon for diesel.
• In FY 2009, rate increases in Water, Wastewater, and Stonn Water are planned. The increases are
mainly related to increased debt service requirements, pay-as-you-go funding, and fuel and utility
costs. There is no rate increase for Solid Waste, as fund net assets are utilized to offset the increase
for FY 2009. The City will continue to implement the strategic water plan focusing on future water
supply needs, additional infrastructure to transport water, and facilities maintenance.
• In September 2008, LP&L implemented a 2.0% surcharge to recover costs associated with our
provider's new power plant. LP&L also anticipates a rate increase to occur in March 2009.

Reeonciliation of the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes
In Fund Balances of Governmental Funds
To the Statement of Activities
For the Year Ended September 30, 2008
Net change in fund balances -total governmental funds
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities are different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the Statement of Activities the
cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense. This
is the amount by which capital outlays of$46,683,372 exceeded depreciation ofS 16,912,331 in the current
period.
Bond proceeds provide cum::nt financial resources to governmental funds, but issuing debt increases long-
term liabilities in the Statement of Net Assets, Repayment of bond principal is an expenditure in the
governmental funds, but the repayment reduces long-term liabilities in the Statement of Net Assets. This is
the amount by which proceeds of $46,605,151 exceeded repayments and debt defeasence ofS? ,939,868.
Capital lease transactions provide cutrent financial resources to governmental funds and repayment of
principal is an expenditure. This is the amount by which proceeds of$3,357,019 exceeded repayments of
$2,069,461.
Bond premiums are recognized as an other financing source in the governmental ftmds. but are considered
deferred assets on the Statement of Net Assets. Premiums are amortized over the life of the bonds. This is
the amount by which bond premium issued ofSl,844,019 exceeded amortization ofS219,22S.
Estimated long-term liabilities are recognized as expenses in the Statement of Activities as earned, but are
recognized when current financial resources are used in the governmental funds.
Arbitrage payable
Compensated absences
Post retirement benefits
Environmental remediation
Property taxes levied and court fines and fees earned, but not available, are deferred in the governmental
funds, but are recognized when earned (net of estimated uncollectibles) in the Statement of Activities. This
amount is the net change in def med property taxes and court fines and fees for the year.
Actual City contributions to the firefighters pension trust fund are greater than the actuarially determined
Net Pension Obligat_ion (NPO). This amount is recognized as an expenditure at the fund level but is
accrued when overpaid and reduces expenses on the Statement of Activities.
Internal service funds are used by management to charge the costs of certain activities, such as insurance
and telecommunications, to individual funds. The net revenue (expense} of certain internal service funds is
reported with govc:mmental activities.
Accrued interest is reoogllized as expenses in the Statement of Activities as incurred, but is recognized
when current financial resources are used in the governmental funds. This amount is the net change in the
accrued interest this year.
The net effect of various miscellaneous transactions involving capital usets. This amount includes
$7,474,000 developer donated streets and parks, Jess $13,775,023 equipment transfers out to business-type
activities, less $304,282 sales and trade-in.

NOTE I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Basic Financial Statements (BFS) of the City of Lubbock, Texas (City) have been prepared in confonnity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) as applied to
govcrmncnt units, including specialized industry practices as specified in the American Institute of Certified
Public AccountanlS audit and accounting guide titled State and Local Governments. The Governmental
Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the acknowledged standard-setting body for establishing
govemmental accounting and financial reporting principles. With respect to proprietary activities related to
business-type activities and enterprise funds, including component units, the City applies all applicable GASB
pronouncements as well as Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statements and Interpretltions,
Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinions and Accounting Research Bulletins of the Committee on
Accounting Procedme, issued on or before November 30, 1989, unless those pronouncements conflict with or
contradict GASB pronouncements. The more significant accounting policies are described below.
A. REPORTINGENTITY
Toe City is a municipal corporation governed by a Council-Manager form of government The City,
incotporated in 1909, is located in the northwestern part of the state. The City currently occupies a land area
of 119.9 square miles and serves a population approximating 215,000. The City is empowered to levy a
property tax on both IW and personal properties located within its boundaries. It is also empowered by state

sanitation services. The City also provides utilities for electricity, water, wastewater, and storm water as well
as a public traosportatiOD system.
The BFS present the City and its component units and include all activities, wganizations, and functions for
which the City is considered to be financially accountable. The criteria considered in detennining activities
to be reported within the City's BFS are based upon and consistent with those set forth in the Codification of
Gc>yemmenml Accounting Standards, Section 2100, "Defining the Financial Reporting Entity." The criteria
includes whether:
• The organization is legally separate ( can sue and be sued in its own name);
• Toe City holds the corporate powers of the organization;
• 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
• There is fiscal dependency by the organization on the City.
As required by GA.AP, the BFS present the reporting entity which consists of the City (the primary
government), organiutions 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.

A. REPORTING ENTITY (Continued}
BLENDED COMPONENT UNITS
The Urban Renewal Agency (URA) bas been included in the City's primal)' government financial reporting
entity using the blended method because, although it is legally separate, the URA is an arm of the City. The
URA is governed by State law and was formed to help eliminate slum and blight within the City. The URA
board oversees acquisition and disposition of real property and also designates and approves Url>an Renewal
Plans. The URA Board is composed of Dine members appointed by the City Council. There are no separate
financial statements available for the URA.
West Tens Municipal Power Agency (WTMPA) is a legally separate municipal cotporation, a political
subdivision of Texas, iiDd body politic and corporate, formed in 1983, governed by an eight member Board of
Directors. The board consists of two directors from each participating city. One member is elected as the
president who presides over monthly meetings, Directors serve without compensation. WTMP A has no
eDllloyees and instead contracts for services to meet its general operating needs. WT.MP A may engage in the
business of generation, transmission, sale, and exchange of electric energy to the four participating public
entities: Lubbock, Tulia, Brownfield. and Floydada. WTMP A may also participate in power pooling and
power exchange agreements with other entities. WTMPA provjdes electricity to its four member cities with
the City having a 92. 7% interest in its operations. Each member city appoints two membeJ's to the WTMP A
board, however an affinnative vote of the "majority in int.crest" is required t.o approve the operating budget,
approve capital projects, approve debt issuance, and approve any amendments to WTMP A rules and
regulations. The City maintains the "majority in interest" vote based on kilowatt purchases. and consequently
has majority voting control As the City purchases approximately 92. 7% of the electricity broketcd, WTMP A
provides services almost exclusively to the City and is therefore presented as a blended enterprise fund.
Separate audited financial statements may be obtained through the City.

all Texas public relirement systems in regard to their actuarial soundness and compliance with state law and
the City cannot significantly influence its operations. Separate audited financial statements may be obtained
from the LFPF or from the City.
B. GOVERNMENT-WIDE AND FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The City's financial statements arc prepared using the reporting model specified in GASB Statement No. 34 -
Basic Financial Statements -and Management's Discussion and Analysis -for State and Local
Governments, GASB Statement No. 37 -Basic Financial StaJements -and Management's Discussion and
Analysis -For State and Local Governments -Ormubus, GA.SB Statement No. 38 -Certain Financial
Statement Note Disclosures, and GASB Intetpretation No. 6 -Recognition and Measurement of Cerulin
Liabilities and Expenditures in Governmental Fund FinanciJJI Statements. As specified by S1atement No. 34,
the BFS include both Government• Wide and Ftmd Financial Statements.
The Government-Wide Financial Statements (GWFS) (i.e., the Statement ofNet Assets and the Statement of
Activities) report infonnation on all of the non-fiduciary activities of the City and its blended component units
as a 'Whole. The discretely presented component units are also aggregately presented within these statements.
The effect of interfund activity has been removed from. these statements by allocation of the activities of the
various internal service funds to the governmental and busines&-type activities on a nmd basis based on the
predominant users of the services. Governmental activities, which are primarily supported by taxes and
intergovernmeutal revenues, arc reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant
extent on fees and charges for support. All activities, both governmental and business-type, are reported in
the GWFS using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, which
includes long-term assets and receivables as well as long-term debt and obligations. The GWFS focus more
on the sustainability of the City as an entity and the change in aggregate financial position resulting from the
activities of the fiscal period.
The Government-Wide Statement of Net Assets reports all financial and capital resources of the City. It is
displayed in the format of assets 1~ liabilities equals net assets, with the assets and liabilities shown in order
of their relative liquidity. Net assets are required to be displayed in three components: (1} 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 accumnlated depreciation and reduced by outstanding balances of any bonds,
mortgages, notes. or other bonowings that are attn'butable to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of
those assets. Restricted net assets are those with constraints placed on their use by either: (1) externally
imposed by creditors (such as through debt covenants), grantors, contnl>utors, 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 assets net of related debt or restricted, are shown as
unrestricted. Resexvations or designations of net assets imposed by the City, whether by administrative policy
or legislative actions of the City Council that do not otherwise meet the definition of restricted net assets, are
considered unrestricted in the GWFS.
The Government-Wide Statement of Activities demonstrates 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: ( 1) charges to customers or
applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, seryices, or privileges provided by a given
58

B. GOVERNMENT•WIDE AND FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
function or segment; and (2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital
requirements of a particular function or segment Taxes 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.
Fund Financial Statements (FFS) for governmenla1 and proprietary funds are also part of the BFS. 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/expenses of fund category and of the governmental 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 colWllDS in the FFS. Other non-major funds
are combined in a single column in the appropriate FPS.
C. MEASUREMENT FOCUS, BASIS OF ACCOUNTING, AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT
PRESENTATION
Fund Financial Statements
The GWFS are reported using the economic reso\ll'Ces measurCIIICllt focus and the accrual basis of
accounting. as are the proprietary FFS. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when
a liability is incuned, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revemies
in the year for which they are levied. Grants and 5imilar items are n,cognizcd as revenue as soon as all
eligibility requirements have been met.
Because the enteiprise funds are combined into a single business-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 fund columns in the p1oprictary FFS. The effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the GWFS.
For instance, 92.7% of the operations ofWTMPA representing transactions between WTMPA and Lubbock
Power & Light (LP&L) have been eliminated for the GWFS presentation and for the electric business-type
activities (BTA). Exceptions to this general rule are payments-in-lieu of taxes and olhcr charges between the
City's electric, water and wastewater functions and various other functions of the govemment. Elimination of
these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported for the various functions
concerned.
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 govemmentaJ funds. This
presentation is necessary (I) to demonstrate legal and covenant compliance. (2) to demonstrate the sources
and uses ofliquid resources, and (3) to demonstrate how the City's actual revenues and expenditures conform
to the annual budget. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues
arc considered to be available when they are collecbole within the current period or soon enough thereafter to
pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the government considers revenues to be available,
generally, if they are collected within 45 days of the end of the current fiscal period. The City considers the
grant availability period to be one year for revenue recognition. Expenditures generally are recorded when a
liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures
related to compensated absences, and claims and judgments are recorded only when the liability bas matured.
Because the governmental FFS are presented on a different basis of accounting than the GWFS,

reconciliations are provided immediately following each fund statement. These reconciliations explain the
adjustments necessary to convert the FFS into the governmental activities cohmm of the GWFS.
Property taxes, sales taxes, franchise taxes, occupancy tax.es, grants, licenses, court :tints, and interest
associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and have been
recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. Only the portion of speciaJ assessments receivable due
within the cmrent fJScal period is considered to be susceptible 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
The City uses funds to report its financial position and the results of its operations. Fund accounting
segregates funds according to their intended pUJPOse and is designed to demonstrate legal compliance and to
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 expenditures/expenses. '
Governmental Funds are those through which most of the governmental functions of the City are financed.
The City reports two major governmental funds:
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.
The Governmental Capital Projects Fund accounts for financing and construction of government capital
projects, except for North Overton Tax Increment Financing Reinvestment Zone (TIF} capital projects
and Gateway Streets Fund capital projects. Projects include public safety improvements, park
improvements, street improvements, purchase and construction of municipal buildings, and major
maintenance, repair, and replacement of public buildiDgs and fucilities.
Enterprise Funds are used to account for operations: ( 1) that are financed and operated in a 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 the general public on a continuing basis be financed or
recovered through user charges; or (2) where the governing body bas decided that periodic determination of
revenues earned, expenses incurred, and/or net income is appropriate for capital maintenance, public policy,
management conttol, accountability, or other pw:poses. The City reports the following major enterprise
funds:
LP&L accounts for the activities of the City-ovmed electric production and distribution system.
The Water Fund accounts for the activities of the City's water system.
The Wastewater Fund accounts for the activities of the City's sanitary wastewater system.
The WTMP A Fund accounts for the activities of power generation and power brokering to member
cities. Member cities include Lubbock with 92.7% ownership, and Tulia, Brownfield. and Floydada
comprising the remaining 7.3% ownership.

PRESENTATION (Continued)
The Storm Water Fund accounts for the activities oftbc storm water utility.
The City reports the following non-major funds:
Governmental Funds
Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources ( other than
special assessments or major capital projects) that are legally restricted to expenditures for specified
purposes.
The Debt Service Fund is used to account for the accumulation of reSOUICes for and the payment o(
general long-term obligation principal and interest ( other than debt service payments made by proprietary
funds).
The Permanent Fand is used to report resources that are legally restricted to the extent that only
earnings, and not principal, may be used for purposes that benefit the City and its citizens. The Cemetery
Permanent Care Fund accounts for interest earned on principal funds and authorized disbursements for
cemetery maintenance and improvements.
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 expemes 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 customen for sales and services,
Operating expenses for enterprise funds and internal service funds include the cost of sales and services,
administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this
definition are reported as non-operating revenues and expenses.
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 Aiiport (Airport Fund), Citibus (Transit Fund), Solid Waste, Cemetery, and Civic Centers.
Internal Service Funds are used to accoUDt for services provided to other departments, agencies of the
deparUnents or to other governments on a cost reimbursement basis (i.e., Fleet Maintenaocc Fund. Print
Shop and Warehouse Fund, Information Technology Fund, Risk Management, Health Benefits, and
Investment Pool).
D. BUDGETARY ACCOUNTING
The City Manager submits a proposed operating budget and capital program to the City Council annually for
the upcoming fiscal year. Public hearings are conducted to obtain citizen comments, and the budget is legally
enacted through passage 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 ammal budget during the fiscal year. The operating budget is adopted on

a basis other than GAAP for 1be General Fund, with the main difference being that capital lease proceeds and
related capital outlay are not budgeted. Budgetary control is maintained at the department level in the
following expenditure categories: personnel services, supplies. other charges, and capital outlay.
Management may make administrative transfers and increases or decreases between accounts below the
department level without Council approval. However, any transfer of funds between departments. the legal
level of control, shall be presemed to Council for approval by ordinance before such funds can be transferred
between departments or expended. All annual operating appropriations lapse at the end of the fiscal year.
Capital budgets do not lapse at fi.sca) year end but rt:main in effect until the 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 sinldng fund (General Obligation and Certificates of Obligation Debt Setvice) which,
with cash and investments in the fund, is sufficient to pay all debt service due dwiJJg 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. On October 1, 2008,
the General Fund had no significant amounts of open encumbrances.
F. ASSETS. LIABILITIES AND FUND BALANCE/NET ASSETS
Equity in Cash and Investments -The City pools the resources of the various funds in order to facilitate the
management of cash and enhance investment earnings. Records are main1ained which reflect each fund's
equity in the pooled account. The City's investments are 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 months or less when purchased.
These investments present an insignificant risk of change in value due to changes in interest rates.
Investments -Investments include securities in the Federal Home Loan Banks, Federal Home Loan
Mortgage Corporation, Federal National Mortgage Association, U S Treaswy Notes. and Farm Credit Notes.
Restricted in~tments include investments that have bem restricted for bond financed capital projects and
money RStricted for claims in the Risk and Health Insurance FWJds. Restricted investments also include
funds that have been restricted by bond covenants for debt service requimnents and for passenger iacility
charges.
Property Tax Receivable -The value of all real and business property located in the City is assessed
annually on January 1 in conformity with Subtitle E of the Texas Property Code. Propct1y 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
1, a tax lien attaches to property to secure the payment of all Illes, penalties, and interest ultimately imposed.
The taxes are considered delinquent if not paid before February 1. Therefore, at fiscal year end all property
taxes receivable are delinquent. but are SCCW"Cd by a tax lien.
At the GWFS level, property tax revenue is recognized upon levy. In governmental funds, the City records
property taxes receivable upon levy and defers tax revenue until the taxes are collected or available. For each
fiscal year, the City recognizes revenue in the amount of taxes collected during the year plus an estimate of

taxes to 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
Lubb<x:k Central Appraisal District assesses property values, bills, collects, and remits the property taxes to
the City. Toe City adjusts the allowance for uncollectible taxes and defcm:d tax revenue at fiscal year end
based upon historical collection experience. To write off property taxes receivable, the City eliminates the
receivable and reduces the allowance for uncollectible accounls..
Enterprise Funds Reuivables -Within the LP&L, Water, WasteWlltcr, Storm Water, 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 accoUDts receivable balances of each fund. Amounts billed are reflected as
accounts receivable net of an allowance for uncolleciJ."ble accounts.
Inventories -Inventories consist of expendable supplies held for conswDption. Inventories are valued using
the average cost method of valuation, and are accounted for using the consumption method of accounting,
i.e., inventory is expensed when used rather than when purchased.
Prepaid Ite.m • Prepaid items are accounted for under the consumption method.
Mortgage Receivables -Mortgage receivables consist of loans made to Lubbock residents and businesses
under the City's Community Development loan program These loans were originally funded through grants
received from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Capital AsselS and Depreciation -Capital assets, including public domain infrastructure ( streets, bridges,
sidewalks and other assets that are immovable and of value only to the City) are defined as assets with an
initial, individual cost of more than $5,000 and an estimated useful life in excess of three years. These capital
assets are reported in the GWFS and the proprietary funds. Capital assets are m:orded at cost or estimated
historical cost if purchased or constructed. 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 comtructed. The cost of
normal 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 depreciat.ed 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:
Infrastructure/Improvements
Buildinga
Equipmem
Water rights
I0-5Oyears
15-50 years
3-IS years
8Syears
Interest Capitalization -Because the City issues general-pwpose capital improvement bonds, which are
recorded within the propriewy funds, the City capitalizes int.erest costs for business-type activities and
entetprise funds according to the F ASB Statement No. 34 Capitalu.ation of Interest Cost and F ASB Statement
No. 62 Capitalization of Interest Costs. The City capitali7.ed interest of approximately $4,190,000 net of
interest earned, for the business-type activities and the enterprise funds during the current fiscal year.

E. RETIREMENT PLANS (Continued)
Benefits depend upon the sum of the employee's contributions to the plan, with interest, and the City-financed
monetary cn:dits, with inteicst At the date the plan began, the City granted monetary credits for service
rendered before the plan began of a theoretical amount equal to two times what would have been contributed
by the employee, with interest, prior to establishment of the plan. Monetary credits for service since the plan
began are a percent (100%, 1500/4, or 200%) of the employee's accumuJatcd contnbutions. In addition, the
City can grant, as often as annually, another type of monetary credit referred to as an updated service credit
which is a theoretical amount which, when added to the employee's accumulated contributions and the
monetary credits for service since the plan began. would be the total monetary credits and employee
contnmtti.ons accumulated with inteJ"cst if the current employee contribution rate and City matching percent
bad always been in existence and if the employee's salary bad always been the average of bis salary in the last
three years that are one year before the effective date. At retirement, the benefit is calculated as if1he sum of
the employee's accumulated contributions with interest and the employer-financed monetary credits with
interest were used to purchase an annuity.
The plan provisions are adopted by City Council, within the options available in the State statutes governing
TMRS and withln the actuarial constraints also in the statutes. Members can retire at ages 60 and above with
5 or more years of semce or with 20 years of service regardless of age. A member is vested after 5 years.
Contnbutions
The contribution rate for employees is 'l°/4 and the City matching ratio is currently 2-to-l, both as adopted by
the City Council. Under the State law governing TMRS, the actuary annually determines the City
contnbution rate. This rate consists of the nonnal cost contnbution 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 cum:ntly accrumg monetary credits due to the City matching percent,
which is the obligation of the City as of an employee's retirement date, not at the time the employee's
contnbutions are made. The normal cost contnbution rate is the actuarially detennined percent of payroll
necessary to satisfy the obligation of the City to each employee at the time his/her retirement becomes
effective. The prior service contn'bution rate amortizes the unfunded (overfundcd) actuarial liability (asset)
over the remainder of the plan's 30-year amortization period. The projected unit credit actuarial cost method
is used for determining the City contn'bution rate. Both the employees and the City make contributions
monthly. Since the City needs to know its contnbution rate in advance for budgetary purposes, there is a one-
year delay between the actuarial valuation that serves as the basis for the rate and the calendar year when the
rate goes into effect (i.e. December 31, 2007 valuation is effective for rates beginning January 2009).

accrued liability for benefits was $326.0 million. and lhe actuarial value of assets was $200.0 million,
resultillg in an unfunded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL) of $126.0 million. The covered payroll (annual
payroll of active employees covered by the plan) was $70.9 million, and 1be ratio of the: UAAL to the covered
payroll was 177 ,5%.
The schedule of funding progress, presented as required supplemcnt.uy information following the notes to the
financial statements, will present nmltiyear trend infonnation about whether the actuarial value of plan assets
is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liabilities for benefits.
The City of Lubbock is one of827 municipalities having the benefit plan administered by TMRS. Each of the
municipalities has an annual, individual actuarial valuation performed. All assumptions for the December 31,
2007 valuations are contained in the 2007 TMRS Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. a copy of which

LUBBOCK FIRE PENSION FUND (LFPF)
Plan Deseription
The Board of Trustees of the LFPF is the administrator of a single-employer defined benefit pension plan.
This pension fund is a trust fund. It is reported by the City as a related organiz.ation and is not considered to
be a part of the City financial reporting entity. Firefighters in the Lubbock Fire Department are covered by
theLFPF.
The LFPF provides service retirement, death, disability aDd withdrawal benefits. These benefits fully vest
after 20 years of credited service. A partially vested benefit is provided for firefighters who termillat.e
employment with at least 10 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 LFPF Plan. effective December 1, 2005, provides a monthly normal
service retirement benefit, payable in a Joint and Two-Thirds to Spouse form of amwity, 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 has the option to participate in a Retroactive Deferred Retirement Option Plan (RETRO DROP)
which provides a lump sum benefit and a reduced annuity upon termination of employment. Firefighters must
be at least S 1 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 teductions is available

at age 50 with 20 years of service for the selected "early RETRO DROP benefit calculation date". A Partial
Lump S\Dil option is also available where a reduced monthly benefit is determined based on an elected lump
sum amount 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 fo:nm 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.· LFPF bas the authority to provide, and
bas periodically provided for in the past, ad hoc postretirement benefit increases. The benefit provisions of
this plan are authorized by the Texas Local Fire Fighters Retirement Act (TLFFRA). TLFFRA provides the
authority and procedure to amend benefit provisions.
Contributions Required and Contributions Made
The con1n"bution provisions of this plan are authorized by TLFFRA. TLFFRA provides the authority and
procedure to change the amount of contributions determined as a percentage of pay by each firefighter and a
percentage of payroll by the City.
While the actual contnbution rates are not actuarially determined, state law requires that ea.ch plan of benefits
adopted by LFPF be approved by an eligible actuary. The actuary certifies that the contnbution commitment
by the firefighters and the City provides an adequate financing arrangement. Using the entry age actuarial
cost method. LFPF's normal cost contnl>ution rat,e is determined as a percentage of payroll The excess of
the total contribution rate over the normal cost contribution rate is used to amortize LFPFs unfunded actuarial
accrued liability (UAAL), if any, and the number of years needed to amortize LFPFs llllfunded actuarial
liability, if any, is determined usmg a level percentage of payroll method. The costs of administering the plan
are financed by LFPF.
Annul Pension Cost
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, the City Annual Pension Cost (APC) for the LFPF was equal to
$3,889,208 as described in item 4 in the 1able below. Based on the results of the December 31, 2006
actuarial valuation of the Plan effective December I, 2005, the most recent biennial actuarial valuation, the
Board's actuary found that the fund had an adequate financing arrangement based on the current level of the
firefighter contribution rates and on the asswned average of City contribution rates. The funding policy of the
Fund requires firefighlers to contribute 12.43% of pay. The City contributes based on a formula which causes
the City's contribution rate to fluctuate from year to year. The December 31, 2006 actuarial valuation
assumes diatthe City's contributions will average 19.75% of payroll m the future.
The Annual Required Contribution {ARC) by the City for the fiscal year ending Septmnber 30, 2008 w~
based on the results of the actuarial valuations as of December 31, 2004 and as of December 31, 2006 using
the entry age actuarial cost method arui were determined in compliance with the GASB Statement No. 27
parameters. The actuarial methods and assumptions used for these two valuations as follows:

F. OTHER POST EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (OPEBl
Plan Description: The City sponsors and administers an imonnal single-employer health/dental plan. Texas
statute provides that retirees from a municipality with a population of 25,000 or more and that receive
retirement benefits from a nnmicipal retirement plan are entitled to purchase continued health benefits
coverage for the person and the person's dependents unless the person is eligt"blc for group health benefits
coverage through another employer. The State of Texas bas the authority to establish and amend the
requirements of this statute. The City does not issue stand alone financial statements of the health/dental
plan. however, all required information is presented in this report.
Funding Policy: The contnbution requirements of plan members are established by the City and may be
amended as needed. Retiree medical/dental coverage levels for retirees is the same as coverage provided to
active City employees in accordance with the tenm and conditions of the current City Benefit Plan.
Employees who retire with 15 or more years of service or Civil Service employees that retire who have a
balance in excess of 90 days sick leave are eligible to continue receiving medical coverage in full 30 day
periods for the term of their sick leave balance. Toe City contributes 33.89% to 58.83% of the monthly
premium for the retiree only health premium and 7 .88% for the retiree only den1al premium. Plan members
may purchase ret:ircc health/dental care coverage for eligible spouses and dependents at their own expense
and receive a benefit from the blended premium rate from all of the employees participating in the City's
health insurance plans. The City is not required to make contn'butioos to the plan on behalf of the retirees and
funds the plan on a projected pay-as-you-go financing method. The plan bas 499 active participants who pay
monthly premiwm between $272/$22 (medical/dental) for sing]e coverage and ($320/$27) medical/deDtaJ for
family coverage.
Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Obligation: The City's annual OPEB expense is calculated based on the
annual required comnbution (ARC) of the employer, an amount actuarially determined in accordance with the
parameters of GASB Statement 45. The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing
basis, is projected to cover normal cost each year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities over a
period not to exc~ thirty years. The following table shows the components of the City's annual OPEB cost
for the year, the amount actually contnbuted to the plan, and changes in the City's net OPEB obligation:

Funded Status and Funding Progress: As of October 1, 2007, the most recent actuarial valuation date, the
plan was not funded. The actuarial accrued liability for benefits was $81,918,738, and the actuarial value of
assets was $0, resulting in an unfunded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL) of $81,918,738. The covered
payroll (annual payroll of active employees covered by the plan) was $88,185,412, and the ratio of the UAAL
to the covered payroll was 92.9%.
Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions
about the probability of occurrence of events far into 1he future. Examples include assumptions about future
employment, mortality, and the healthcare cost trend Amounts determined regardmg the funded status of the
plan and the ARC of the employer are subject to continual revision as aclU.al results are compared with past
expectations and new estimates are made about the future. The schedule of funding progress, presented as
required supplementary information following the notes to the financial statements, will present multi-year
trend infonnation about whether the actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time
relative to the acnwial accrued liabilities for benefits. However, since this is the fint year of implementation
. there is no trend information to report.
Actuarial Methods and Assumptions: Projections ofbenefrts for financial reporting purposes are based on the
substantive plan (the plan as understood by the employer and the plan members) and include the types of
benefits provided at the time of each valuation and the historical pattern of sharing of benefit costs between
the employer and plan members to that point. The actuarial methods and assumptions used include
techniques lhat are designed to reduce the effects of short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and
the actuarial value of assets, consistent with the long-term perspective of the calculations.
In the October 1, 2007, actuarial valuation, the projected unit credit actuarial cost method was used. The
actuarial assumptions included a 4.5% investment rate of return based on a long term rate of investment. a 3%
annual salary increase projection, and an annual healthcare cost trend rate of 10% for 2007 and then reduced
by decrements to an ultimate rate of 4.5% after fifteen years. The UAAL is beiDg amortized as a level
percentage of projected payroll on a closed basis. The remaining amortiz.ation period at September 30, 2008,
was twenty-nine years.
G. DEFERRED COMPENSATION
The City offers its employees five deferred compensation plans in accordance with Intemal Revenue Code
("IRC'') Section 457. The plans. available to all City employees, permit them to defer a portion of their
salary until future years. The defem:d compensation is not available to etll)loyees until termination,
retirement, death, or unforeseeable emergency. The plans' assets are held in trust for the exclusive benefits of

H. SURFACE WATER SUPPLY
Canadian River Municipal Water Authority
The Canadian River Municipal Water Authority (CRMWA) is a Conservation and Reclamation Authority
established by the Texas Legislature to construct a dam. water :reservoir, and aqueduct system for the purpose
of supplying water to surrounding cities. The Authority was created in 1953 and comprises eleven cities,
including the City of Lubbock. The budget, financing, and operations of the Authority 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, 2008, the Board was comprised of 18
members, two of which represented the City.
The City contracted with the CRMW A to reimburse it for a portion of the cost of the Canadian River Dam
and aqueduct system in exchange for surface water. 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 fiscal year 1999, long-tenn 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 fiscal year 1999, bonds in the principal amount of$12,300,000 were issued to pay off
the construction obligation owed to the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation via CRMW A in the IIDIOunt of
$20,809,067. Toe difference of $8,509,067 was a discount in the mnaining principal provided by the U.S.
Bureau of Reclamation to the member cities. This discount bas been recorded as a deferred gain on. refundiJlg
and is being amortized over the life of the refunding bonds. At September 30, 2008, $1,363,690 mnains
unamortized. Toe 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 being amortized over 85
years. The cost and debt arc recorded in the Wa~ Enterprise Fund.
In 2005, the Canadian River Municipal Authority issued $48,125,000 in Contract Revenue Bonds. The City
of Lubbock shared in this issue in the amount of $17,960,000. The Canadian River Municipal Authority
issued a new Contract Revenue Bond, Series 2006 in April 2006 in the amount of $49,075,000. The City of
Lubbock shared in the issue for $18,573,906 and other costs of $492,465, and received depreciable assets
(water rights) valued at $19,066,371. These assets and liabilities are recorded in the Water Enteiprise Fund.
Brazos RJver Authority -Lake Alan Henry

L. RISK MANAGEMENT
The Risk Management Fund was established to account for liability claims, worker's compensation claum,
and premiwns for property/casualty iDsmance 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' compemation coverage, with no deductible, from a third party.
Prior to April 1999 the City was self-insured for worker's compensation clai!m. A.D.y cl.aims outstanding
prior to April 1999 continue to be the City's responslbility.
The City's self-insurance liability program is on a cash £low basis, which means that the servicing conttactor
processes, adjusts and pays claim. from a deposit provided by the City. The City accounts for the liability
program by charging premiwns 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
1999, which is renewed annually. The policy has a $10 million amwal aggregate limit and is subject to a
$250,000 deductl"ble per claim prior to October 1, 2005, and a $500,000 deductible per claim since October
I, 2005.
For self-insured coverage, the Risk Management Fund establishes claim liabilities based on estimates of the
ultimate cost of claum (including future claim adjustment expenses) that have been reported but not settled,
and of c]aims that have been incUil'ed but not reported (IDNR). The length of time for which such costs rmst
be estimated varies depending on the coverage involved. Because ac,tual claim costs depend on such complex

factors as inflation, changes in doctrines oflegal liability, and damage awards, the process used in computing
claim liabilities does not necessarily result in an exact amount, particularly for liability coventge. Claim
liabilities are recomp\11l!d periodically using a variety of actuarial and statistical techniques to produce current
estimates that reflect recent settlements, claim frequency, and other economic and social factors. Adjustments
to claim liabilities are charged or credited to expeme in 1he period in which they are incurred.
Additionally, property and boiler coverage is accounted for in the Risk Management Fund. The property
insurance policy was purchased from an outside insurance carrier. The policy bas a $250,000 deductil>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 premiwm for the upcoming year.

for in the Risk Management Fund Funds are charged based on premium amounts and administtative charges.

insurance activity in the Internal Service Funds.

upon the number of active full.timl: miployees. The City's plan is self-insured under an Administrative
Services Only {ASO) Agreement The City purchases excess coverage of $175,000 per covered individual
annually and an aggregate cap of $19,188,006. The insurance vendm based on medical trend, claum history,
and utilization detennines the aggregate deductible. The actuarially determined calculation of the claim
liability is $1.45 million at September 30, 2008 fm all health coverages including medical. prescription drags
and dental.
The City also provides full-time employees basic tenn life insurance. The life insurance policy has a face
value ofSl0,000 per employee.

rate. Employees may also elect, at their cost, to participate in several voluntary insurance programs such as a
cancer income policy, voluntary life and personal accident insurance.

o. LANDFILL CLOSURE AND POSTCLQSURE CARE COST
State and federal laws and regulations require the City to place final covers on its landfill sites at closure and
to perform certain maintenance and monitoring functions for thirty years thereafter. Although cl<l$ure and
postclosure care costs will be paid only near or after the date that the 1andfills stop accepting waste, the City
reports a portion of these closure and post.closure costs as operating expenses ( and recognizes a
corresponding liability) in each period based on landfill capacity used as of each balance sheet date.
The $3,770,566 illcluded in landfill closure and postclosure care liability at September 30, 2008, represents
the cumulative amount expemed by the City to date for its two landfills that are registered under TCEQ
pennit numbers 69 (Landfill 69) and 2252 (Landfill 2252), less amounts that have been paid. Approximately
93.3 percent of the estimated capacity of Landfill 69 bas been used. with $780,S72 remaining to be
recognized over the remaining closure period, an estimated two years. Approximately 3.6 percent of the
estimated capacity of Landfill 2252 has been used to date, with $25,055,779 remaining to be recognized over
the remaining closure period, estimatM at over 80 years. Postclosure care costs are based on prior estimates
and have been adjusted for inflation. Actual costs may differ due to inflation. deflation. changes in
technology, or other regulatory changes.
The Crty is required by state and federal laws md regulations to provide assurance that financial resources
will be available for landfill closme, post.closure care, and remediation or containment of enviromnental
hazards. The City is in compliance with these requirements and bas cho6en the Local Government Financial
Test mechanism far providing assurance. The City expects to finance costs through normal operations.

C. SITE REMEDIATION <Condnped)
The City has identified elevated levels of nitrates in the ground water beneath the Lubbock Land Application
Site (LLA.S), which is attnbuted to the historical land application of treated wastewater effluent and also
impacted by the activities of individuals and other entities. As a result, the Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality has issued an Agreed Order that requires the City to remedy the situatiOII.. The Order
calls for, among other requirements, pwq,ing an annual average of 1,580 gallons per minute from 16
groundwater wells on thc LLAS in order to eliminate a mound of groundwater under the LLAS. The
groUDdwater, that is hi.sh in nitrates, is discharged into a surface water lake system where it is remediated
naturally. An effluent land application management plan and groundwater monitoring prog..im was also
established as a result of the Order. Phase 1 of 1he project to construct additions and improvements to the
City's wastewater reclamation plant that will treat the sewage to higher quality in the future and address the
nitrate issue is complete. Phase II began in the spring of 2008 and will be complete by 2011.
During FY 08, the City held discussions with TCEQ to consider terminating the Agreed Order and to
incOipOrate the remaining 1:equirements for remediation into the main wastewater treatment permit. Because
the groundwater mound under the LLAS has been eliminated in accordance with the requirements of the
Order, there is an opportunity to terminate the Agreed Order and to continue addressing any residual concerns
as part of the pennit. The City is encouraged by the initial discussiom and believes TCEQ will approve this
in the near future.
The City expects that the remediation of nitrates will continue for some time after the new plant is built, but
the length of time and total expense are not estimable. Since the remediation is probable, but not esumable
and it is likely that we will terminate the Agreed Order, the City has not accrued this remediation. The
remediation and monitoring costs for the next fiscal year arc included in die FY 2009 budget. The City plans
to implement GASB Statement No. 49, Accounting and Financial ReportiDg for Pollution Remediation
Obligations, in FY 2009. This authoritative guidance requires that remediation liabilities be measured and
recoided as 1he sum of probability, weighted amounts in a range of possible estimated amounts.
Comequently, the City pl.ans to secure an engineering firm to detennine the amount of the potential exposure.
exploring various methods of addre5.$ing the remediation.
The potential exposure for one remaining location is not readily determinable as of September 30, 2008. In
the opinion of management, the ultimate liability for this location will not have a materially adverse effect on
the City's financial position.

2010A, dated January 15, 2010, issued in the principal amount of
$ ____ ~
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 adopted by the City
Council of the City authorizing their issuance (the "Ordinance") and the Pricing Certificate
executed pursuant to 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 asswned any responsibility with respect to
the financial condition or capabilities of the City or the disclosure thereof in connection with the

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

)
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; and
(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.
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) Interest on the Bonds is not (A) a specific preference item subject
to the alternative minimum tax on individuals and corporations or (B) included in
a corporation's adjusted current earnings for purposes of the alternative minimum
tax.
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
have not independently verified, and have assumed continuing compliance with the covenants in
the Ordinance pertaining to those sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
that affect the exclusion from gross income of interest on the Bonds for federal income tax
purposes. If such representations 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 cor.porations 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, 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 as to
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.

authority for the issuance of the Certificates in full compliance with the
Constitution and laws of the State of Texas presently effective and, therefore, the
Certificates constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the City; and
(B) A continuing ad valorem tax upon all taxable property within the
City, necessary to pay the interest on and principal of the Certificates, has been
levied and pledged irrevocably for such purposes, within the limit prescribed by
law, and the total indebtedness of the City, including the Certificates, does not
exceed any constitutional, statutory or other limitations. In addition, the
Certificates are further secured by a limited pledge (not to exceed $1,000) of the
surplus net revenues of the City's Waterworks System. as described in the
Ordinance.
THE RIGHTS OF THE OWNERS of the Certificates are subject to the applicable
provisions of the federal bankruptcy laws and any other similar laws affecting the rights of
creditors of political subdivisions genera1ly, 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 Certificates is excludable from gross income for
federal income tax purposes under existing law; and
(2) Interest on the Bonds is not (A) a specific preference item subject
to the alternative minimum tax on individuals and corporations or (B) included in
a corporation's adjusted current earnings for purposes of the alternative minimum
tax.
In providing such opinions, we have relied on representations of the City, the City's
financial advisor and the underwriters of the Certificates with respect to matters solely within the
knowledge of the City, the City's financial advisor and the underwriters respectively, which we
have not independently verified, and have assumed continuing compliance with the covenants in
the Ordinance pertaining to those sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
that affect the exclusion from gross income of interest on the Certificates for federal income tax
pwposes. If such representations are determined to be inaccurate or incomplete or the City fails
to comply with the foregoing provisions of the Ordinance, interest on the Certificates 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 Certificates.
Owners of the Certificates 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, 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 Certificates).
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
incluclable in gross income for federal income tax pwposes. No assurance can be given as to
whether or not the Service will commence an audit of the Certificates. 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 Certificates as includable in gross income for federal income tax
purposes.
