deemed to evidence the same obligation as the mutilated, lost, destroyed, or stolen Certificate.

an assignee of a Holder any Certificate called for redemption, in whole or in part, within 45
days of the date fixed for the redemption of such Certificate; provided, however, such limitation

owner of each Certificate (the "Beneficial Owners") being recorded in the records of DTC and
DTC Participants.

purchaser(s) and with respect to Certificates delivered in subsequent exchanges and
transfers, all as authorized and provided in V.T.C.A., Government Code, Chapter 1201.

Certificates to be exchanged at the Designated Payment/Transfer Office of the Paying Agent/
Registrar. Whenever · any Certificates are surrendered for exchange, the Paying
Agent/Registrar shall register and deliver new Certificates to the Holder requesting the
exchange.
All Certificates issued in any transfer or exchange of Certificates shall be delivered to
the Holders at the Designated Payment/Transfer Office of the Paying Agent/Registrar or sent
by United States Mail, first class, postage prepaid to the Holders, and, upon the registration
and delivery thereof, the same shall be the valid obligations of the City, evidencing the same
obligation to pay, and entitled to the same benefits under this Ordinance, as the Certificates
surrendered in such transfer or exchange.
All transfers or exchanges of Certificates pursuant to this Section shall be made
without expense or service charge to the Holder, except as otherwise herein provided, and
except that the Paying Agent/Registrar shall require payment by the Holder requesting such
transfer or exchange of any tax or other governmental charges required to be paid with

45142590.2 5
Certificates canceled by reason of an exchange or transfer pursuant to the provisions
hereof are hereby defined to be "Predecessor Certificates," evidencing all or a portion, as the
case may be, of the same obligation to pay evidenced by the new Certificate or Certificates
registered and delivered in the exchange or transfer therefor. Additionally, the term
"Predecessor Certificates" shall include any mutilated, lost, destroyed, or stolen Certificate for
which a replacement Certificate has been issued, registered and delivered in lieu thereof
pursuant to the provisions of Section 23 hereof and such new replacement Certificate shall be
deemed to evidence_ the same obligation as the mutilated, lost, destroyed, or stolen Certificate.
Neither the City nor the Paying Agent/Registrar shall be required to issue or transfer to
an assignee of a Holder any Certificate called for redemption, in whole or in part, within 45
days of the date fixed for the redemption of such Certificate; provided, however, such limitation
on transferability shall not be applicable to an exchange by the Holder of the unredeemed
balance of a Certificate called for redemption in part.
SECTION 6: Book-Entry Only Transfers and Transactions. Notwithstanding the
provisions contained in Sections 3, 4 and 5 hereof relating to the payment and
transfer/exchange of the Certificates, the City hereby approves and authorizes the use of

Depository Trust Company (DTC), a limited purpose trust company organized under the laws
of the State of New York, in accordance with the operational arrangements referenced in the
Blanket Issuer Letter of Representations by and between the City and DTC (the "Depository
Agreement").
Pursuant to the Depository Agreement and the rules of DTC, the Certificates shall be
deposited with DTC who shall hold said Certificates for its participants (the "DTC Participants")
and, while the Certificates are held by DTC under the Depository Agreement, the Holder of the
Certificates on the Security Register for all purposes, including payment and notices, shall be
Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, notwithstanding the ownership of each actual purchaser or
owner of each Certificate (the "Beneficial Owners") being recorded in the records of DTC and
DTC Participants.
In the event DTC determines to discontinue serving as securities depository for the
Certificates or otherwise ceases to provide book-entry clearance and settlement of securities
transactions in general or the City determines that DTC is incapable of properly discharging its
duties as securities depository for the Certificates, the City covenants and agrees with the
Holders of the Certificates to cause Certificates to be printed in definitive form and provide for
the Certificate certificates to be issued and delivered to DTC Participants and Beneficial
Owners, as the case may be. Thereafter, the Certificates in definitive form shall be assigned,
transferred and exchanged on the Security Register maintained by the Paying Agent/Registrar

time of delivery of the Bonds to the initial purchaser(s) and with respect to Bonds delivered in
subsequent exchanges and transfers, all as authorized and provided in V.T.C.A., Government
Code, Chapter 1201.

obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Bond either a certificate of registration
substantially in the form provided in Section 9C, manually executed by the Comptroller of Public
Accounts of the State of Texas, or his duly authorized agent, or a certificate of registration
substantially in the form provided in Section 9D, manually executed by an authorized officer,

relevant to either party.

The City cannot and does not give any assurance that (1) DTC will distribute payments of debt service on the Obligations, or
redemption or other notices, to DTC Participants, (2) DTC Participants or others will distribute debt service payments paid to
DTC or its nominee (as the registered owner of the Obligations), or redemption or other notices, to the Beneficial Owners, or
that they will do so on a timely basis, or (3) DTC will serve and act in the manner described in this Official Statement. The
current rules applicable to DTC are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the current procedures of DTC to
be followed in dealing 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). One fully-registered Obligation will be issued for each maturity of the
Bonds, Waterworks Certificates and Sewer Certificates, as the case may be, in the aggregate principal amount of each such
maturity and will be deposited with DTC.
DTC is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a "banking organization" within the
meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning
of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section !?A of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds securities that its participants ("Direct Participants") deposit with DTC. DTC also
facilitates the settlement among Participants of .securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities
through electronic computerized book-entry changes in Participants' accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical
movement of securities Obligations. Direct Participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing
corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is owned by a number of its Direct Participants and by the New York Stock
Exchange, Inc., the American Stock Exchange, Inc., and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Access to the DTC
system is also available to others such as securities brokers and dealers, banks, and trust companies that clear through O\
maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly ("Indirect Participants"). The Rules
applicable to DTC and its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Purchases of Obligations under the DTC system must be made by or through DTC Participants, which will receive a credit for
such purchases on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Obligation ("Beneficial Owner") is in
turn to be recorded on the Direct or Indirect Participants' records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from
DTC of their purchase, but Beneficial Owners are expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction,
as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner
entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interest in the Obligations are to be accomplished by entries made on the
books of Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive Obligations representing
their ownership interests in the Obligations, except in the event that use of the book-entry system described herein is
discontinued.
To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Obligations deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC's
partnership nominee, Cede & Co. The deposit of Obligations with DTC and their registration: in the name of Cede & Co. effect
no change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Obligations; DTC's records
reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Obligations are credited, which may or may not be the
Beneficial Owners. The Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.
Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants,
and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject
to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time.
Redemption notices shall be sent to Cede & Co. If less 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 issue to be redeemed.
Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. will consent or vote with respect to the Obligations. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an
Omnibus Proxy to the City as soon as possible after the Record Date (hereinafter defined). The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede &
Co.'s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts the Obligations are credited on the Record Date
(identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy).

Principal and interest payments on the Obligations will be made to DTC. DTC's practice is to credit Direct Participants' accounts
on each payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC's records unless DTC has reason to believe that
it will not receive payment on such payable date. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing
instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered
in "street name," and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, the Paying Agent/Registrar or the City,
subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of principal and interest to
DTC is the responsibility of the City, disbursement o_f such payments to Direct Participants shall be the responsibility of DTC,
and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners shall be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.
DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository with respect to the Obligations at any time by giving
reasonable notice to the City. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor securities depository is not obtained,
Obligations are required to be printed and delivered.
The City may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository).
In that event, Obligations will be printed and delivered.
Use of Certain Terms in Other Sections of this Official Statement. In reading this Official Statement it should be understood
that while the Obligations are in the Book-Entry-Only System, references in other sections of this Official Statement to
registered owners should be read to include the person for which the Participant acquires an interest in the Obligations, but (i) all
rights of ownership must be exercised through DTC and the Book-Entry-Only System, and (ii) except as described above,
notices that are to be given to registered owners under the respective Ordinances will be given only to DTC.
Information concerning DTC and the Book-Entry-Only System has been obtained from DTC and is not guaranteed as to
accuracy or completeness by, and is not to be construed as a representation by the City or the Purchasers.
Effect of Termination of Book-Entry-Only System. In the event that the Book-Entry-Only System is discontinued by DTC or
the use of the Book-Entry-Only System is discontinued by the City, printed Obligations will be issued to the holders and the
Obligations will be subject to transfer, exchange and registration provisions as set forth in the respective Ordinances and
summarized under "The Obligations-Transfer, Exchange and Registration" below.
PAYING AGENT/REGISTRAR ... The initial Paying Agent/Registrar is JPMorgan Chase Bank, Dallas, Texas. In the respective
Ordinances, the City retains the right to replace the Paying Agent/Registrar. The City covenants to maintain and provide a
Paying Agent/Registrar at all times until the Bonds, Waterworks Certificates or Sewer Certificates, as the case may be, are duly
paid and any successor Paying Agent/Registrar shall be a commercial bank or trust company or other entity duly qualified and
legally authorized to serve as and perform the duties and services of Paying Agent/Registrar for the Bonds, Waterworks
Certificates or Sewer Certificates, as the case may be. Upon any change in the Paying Agent/Registrar for the Bonds,
Waterworks Certificates or Sewer Certificates, as the case may be, the City agrees to promptly cause a written notice thereof to
be sent to each registered owner of the Obligations affected by the change by United States mail, first class, postage prepaid,
which notice shall also 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 their stated maturity or
earlier redemption upon presentation to 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.
TRANSFER, EXCHANGE AND REGISTRATION ... In the event the Book-Entry-Only System should be discontinued, printed
certificates will be issued to the registered owners of the Bonds, the Watenvorks Certificates or the Sewer Certificates, as the
case may be, and thereafter the such Obligations may be transferred and exchanged on the registration books of the Paying
Agent/Registrar only upon their presentation and surrender to the Paying Agent/Registrar and such transfer or exchange shall be
without expense or service charge to the registered owner, except for any tax or other governmental charges required to be paid
with respect to such registration, exchange and transfer. Obligations may be assigned by the execution of an assignment form on
the respective 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 in not more than three business days after the receipt of the
Obligations to be canceled, and the written instrument of transfer or request for exchange duly executed by the registered owner
17
or his duly authorized agent, in 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 of like kind and for a like aggregate
principal amount as the Obligations surrendered for exchange or transfer. See "Book-Entry-Only System" herein for a
description of the system to be utilized initially in regard to ownership and transferability of the Obligations. Neither the City
nor the Paying Agent/Registrar shall be required to transfer or exchange any Obligation called for redemption, in whole or in
part, within 45 days of the date fixed for redemption; provided, however, such limitation of transfer shall not be applicable to an
exchange by the registered owner of the uncalled balance of a Obligation.
RECORD DATE FOR INTEREST PAYMENT ... The record date ("Record Date") for the interest payable on the Obligations on any
interest payment date means the close of business on the last business day of the preceding month.
In the event of a non-payment of interest on a scheduled payment date, and for 30 days thereafter, a new record date for such
interest payment (a "Special Record Date") will be established by the Paying Agent/Registrar, if and when funds for the payment
of such interest have been received from the City. Notice of the Special Record Date and of the scheduled payment date of the
past due interest ("Special Payment Date", which shall be 15 days after the Special Record Date) shall be sent at least five
business days prior to the Special Record Date by United States mail, first class postage prepaid, to the address of each Holder of
a 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.
HOLDERS' REMEDIES . . . The respective Ordinances do not establish specific events of default with respect to the Bonds,
Waterworks Certificates or Sewer Certificates, as the case may be. Under State law there is no right to the acceleration of
maturity of the Bonds, Waterworks Certificates or Sewer Certificates, as the case may be, upon the failure of the City to observe
any covenant under the respective Ordinances. Although a registered owner of the Bonds, Waterworks Certificates or Sewer
Certificates, as the case may be, could presumably obtain a judgment against the City if a default occurred in the payment of
principal of or interest on any such Bonds, Waterworks Certificates or Sewer Certificates, as the case may be, such judgment
could not be satisfied by execution against any property of the City. Such registered owner's only practical remedy, if a default
occurs, is a mandamus or mandatory injunction proceeding to compel the City to levy, assess and collect an annual ad valorem
tax sufficient to pay principal of and interest on the Bonds, Waterworks Certificates or Sewer Certificates, as the case may be, as
it becomes due. The enforcement of any such remedy may be difficult and time consuming and a registered owner could be
required to enforce such remedy on a periodic basis. The respective Ordinances do not provide for the appointment of a trustee
to represent the interests of the bondholders upon any failure of the City to perform in accordance with the terms of the
applicable Ordinance, or upon any other condition. Furthermore, the City is eligible to seek relief from its creditors under
Chapter 9 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Although Chapter 9 provides for the recognition of a security interest represented by a
specifically pledged source of revenues, the pledge of taxes in support of a general obligation of a bankrupt entity is not
specifically recognized as a security interest under Chapter 9. Chapter 9 also includes an automatic stay provision that would
prohibit, without Bankruptcy Court approval, the prosecution of any other legal action by creditors or bondholders of an entity
which has sought protection under Chapter 9. Therefore, should the City avail itself of Chapter 9 protection from creditors, the
ability to enforce 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 powers of a
Bankruptcy Court in administering any proceeding brought before it. The opinions of Bond Counsel will note that all opinions
relative to the enforceability of the respective Ordinances and the Bonds, Waterworks Certificates or Sewer Certificates, as the
case may be, are qualified with respect to the customary rights of debtors relative to their creditors.

TAX INFORMATION
AD VALOREM TAX LAW ... The appraisal of property within the City is the responsibility of the Lubbock Central Appraisal District
(the "Appraisal District"). Excluding agricultural and open-space land, which may be taxed on the basis of productive capacity, the
Appraisal District is required under the Property Tax Code to appraise all property within the Appraisal District on the basis of 1 00"/o
of its market value and is prohibited from applying any assessment ratios. In detennining market value of property, different methods
of appraisal may be used, including the cost method of appraisal, the income method of appraisal and market data comparison method of
appraisal, and the method considered most appropriate by the chief appraiser is to be used. State law further limits the appraised value of
a residence homestead for a tax year to an amount notto exceed the less of(l) the market value of the property, or (2) the sum of(a) 10"/o
of the appraised value of the property for the last year in which the property was appraised for taxation times the number of years since the
property was last appraised, plus (b) the appraised value of the property for the last year in which the property was appraised plus (c) the
market value of all new improvements to the property. The value placed upon property within the Appraisal District is subject to
review by an Appraisal Review Board, consisting of three members appointed by the Board of Directors of the Appraisal District.
The Appraisal District is required to review the value of property within the Appraisal District at least everr three years. The City
may require annual review at its own expense, and is entitled to challenge the determination of appraised value of property within the
City by petition filed with the Appraisal Review Board.
Reference is made to the V.T.C.A., Property Tax Code, for identification of property subject to taxation; property exempt or which
may be exempted from taxation, if claimed; the appraisal of property for ad valorem taxation purposes; and the procedures and
limitations applicable to the levy and collection of ad valorem taxes.
Article VIII of the State Constitution ("Article VIII") and State law provide for certain exemptions from property taxes, the valuation
of agricultural and open-space lands at productivity value, and the exemption of certain personal property from ad valorem taxation.
-Under Section 1-b, Article VIII, and State law, the governing body of a political subdivision, at its option, may grant: (1) An
· exemption of not less than $3,000 of the market value of the residence homestead of persons 65 years of age or older and the
disabled from all ad valorem taxes thereafter levied by the political subdivision; (2) An exemption of up to 20% of the market value
of residence homesteads. The minimum exemption under this provision is $5,000.
In the case of residence homestead exemptions granted under Section 1-b, Article VIII, ad valorem taxes may continue to be
levied against the value of homesteads exempted where ad valorem taxes have previously been pledged for the payment of debt
if cessation of the levy would impair the obligation of the contract by which the debt was created.
State law and Section 2, Article VIII, mandate an additional property tax exemption for disabled veterans or the surviving spouse or
children of a deceased veteran who died while on active duty in the armed forces; the exemption applies to either real or personal
property with the amount of assessed valuation exempted ranging from $5,000 to a maximum of $12,000.
Article VIII provides that eligible owners of both agricultural land (Section 1-d) and open-space land (Section 1-d-1 ), including
open-space land devoted to farm or ranch purposes or open-space land devoted to timber production, may elect to have such property
appraised for property taxation on the basis of its productive capacity. The same land may not be qualified under both Section 1-d
and 1-d-1.
Nonbusiness personal property, such as automobiles or light trucks, are exempt from ad valorem taxation unless the governing body
of a political subdivision elects to tax this property. Boats owned as nonbusiness property are exempt from ad valorem taxation.
Article VIII, Section 1-j, provides for "freeport property" to be exempted from ad valorem taxation. Freeport property is defined as
goods detained in Texas for 175 days or less for the purpose of assembly, storage, manufacturing, processing or fabrication.
Decisions to continue to tax may be reversed in the future; decisions to exempt freeport property are not subject to reversal.
The City and the other taxing bodies within its territorY may agree to jointly create tax increment financing zones, under which the
tax values on property in the zone are "frozen" at the value of the property at the time of creation of the zone. The City also may
enter into tax abatement agreements to encourage economic development. Under the agreements, a property owner agrees to
construct certain improvements on its property. The City in tum agrees not to levy a tax on all or part of the increased value
attributable to the improvements until the expiration of the agreement. The abatement agreement could last for a period of up to 10
years.
21
EFFECTIVE TAX RATE AND ROLLBACK TAX RATE ... By each September 1 or as soon thereafter as practicable, the City
Council adopts a tax rate per $100 taxable value for the current year. The City Council will be required to adopt the 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 tax rate consists of two
components: (1) a rate for funding of maintenance and operation expenditures, and (2) a rate for debt service.
Under the Property Tax Code, the City must annually calculate and publicize its "effective tax rate" and "rollback tax rate".
Effective January l, 2000, a tax rate cannot be adopted by the City Council that exceeds the lower of the rollback tax rate or 103
per cent of the effective tax rate until a public hearing is held on the proposed tax rate following a notice of such public hearing
(including the requirement that notice be posted on the City's website if the City owns, operates or controls an internet website
and public notice be given by television if the City has free access to a television channel) and the City Council has otherwise
complied with the legal requirements for the adoption of such tax rate. If the adopted tax rate exceeds the rollback tax rate the
qualified voters of the City by petition may require that an election be held to determine whether or not to reduce the tax rate
adopted for the current year to the rollback tax rate.
"Effective tax rate" means the rate that will produce last year's total tax levy (adjusted) from this year's total taxable values
(adjusted). "Adjusted" means lost values are not included in the calculation of last year's taxes and new values are not included
in this year's taxable values.
"Rollback tax rate" means the rate that will produce last year's maintenance and operation tax levy (adjusted) from this year's
values (adjusted) multiplied by 1.08 plus a rate that will produce this year's debt service from this year's values (unadjusted)
divided by the anticipated tax collection rate.
The Property Tax Code provides that certain cities and counties in the State may submit a proposition to the voters to authorize
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 1 of each year.
Business inventory may, at the option of the taxpayer, be assessed as of September. Oil and gas reserves are assessed on the
basis of a valuation process which uses an average of the daily price of oil and gas for the prior year. Taxes become due October
I of the same year, and become delinquent on February 1 of the following year. Taxpayers 65 years old or older are permitted by
State law to pay taxes on homesteads in four installments with the first due on February I of each year and the final installment
due on August 1.
PENALTIES AND INTEREST ... Charges for penalty and interest on the unpaid balance of delinquent taxes are made as follows:
Cumulative Cumulative
Month Penalty Interest Total
February 6% 1% 7%
March 7 2 9
April 8 3 ll
May 9 4 13
June lO 5 15
July 12 6 I8
After July, penalty remains at 12%, and interest increases at the rate of I% each month. In addition, if an account is delinquent
in July, a 15% attorney's collection fee is added to the total tax penalry and interest charge. Under certain circumstances, taxes
which become delinquent on the homestead of a taxpayer 65 years old or older incur a penalty of 8% per annum with no
additional penalties or interest assessed. In general, property subject to the City's lien may be sold, in whole or in parcels,
pursuant to court order to collect the amounts due. Federal law does not allow for the collection of penalty and interest against
an estate in bankruptcy. Federal bankmptcy law provides that an automatic stay of action by creditors and other entities,
including governmental units, goes into effect with the filing of any petition in bankmptcy. 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 OF TAX CoDE .•. The City grants an exemption to the market value of the residence homestead of persons
65 years of age or older of $16,600; the disabled are also granted an exemption of $10,000.
The City has not granted an additional exemption of 20% of the market value of residence homesteads; the minimum exemption
that may be granted under this provision being $5,000.
See Table 1 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 Lubbock County Appraisal District collects taxes for the City.
The City does not permit split payments of taxes, and discounts for early payment of taxes are not allowed by the City, although
permitted on a local-option basis by the Property Code.
In the past, the City has taxed freeport property, although beginning with the 1999 tax year the City has exempted freeport
property from taxation.
The City collects an additional one-eighth cent sales tax for reduction of ad valorem taxes.
The City has adopted a tax abatement policy, as described below.
TAX ABATEMENT POLICY ... The City has established a tax abatement program to encourage economic development. In order
to be considered for tax abatement, a project must be located in a reinvestment zone or enterprise zone (a commercial project
must be in an enterprise zone) and must meet several criteria pertaining to job creation and property value enhancement. The
City has established three enterprise zones, the north zone, of approximately 18.6 square miles, the south zone, of approximately
15.7 square miles, and the international airport zone, of approximately 10.3 square miles. At present, the City has initiated 20
enterprise projects and tax abatements, principally in the northeast and southeast sections of the City. The amount and term of
abatement shall be determined on a case by case basis; however, in no event shall taxes be abated for a term in excess of ten (l 0)
years.
TAX INCREMENT FINA!'ICING ZONE ... Together with other taxing units, the City participates in a Tax Increment District
("TID") pursuant to Chapter 311, Texas Tax Code, VTCA The TID covers an approximately 0.71 square-mile area which
includes part of the central business district. The base taxable values of the TID are frozen at the level of taxable values for
2001, the year of creation. Any ad valorem taxes relating to growth of the TID's tax base above the frozen base may be used
only to finance improvements within the TID and are not available for the payment of other obligations of the City, including the
Bonds, the Watenvorks Certificates and the Sewer Certificates. The tax base for the TID for 1986 was $98;180,307; the 2001
taxable assessed value of property in the TID is less than the tax base and there is no current tax increment

PENSION FUND ... TEXAS MUNICIPAL RETIREMENT SYSTEM (1)(2) ... All permanent, 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 which is covered by a State statute and is administered by six trustees appointed by the Governor of
Texas. TMRS operates independently of its member cities.
The City of Lubbock 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,
ten year vesting, updated service credit, occupational disability benefits and survivor benefits for the spouse of a vested
employee. An employee who retires receives an annuity based on the amount of the employees contributions over-matched two
for one by the City. Employee contribution rate is 6% of gross salary. Beginning October 11, 1997, employee contribution rate
is 7% of gross salary. The City's contribution rate is calculated each year using actuarial techniques applied to experience. The
2001 contribution rate was 13.69%. The 2002 contribution rate is 13.99%. 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, 2000, the actuarial value of assets held by TMRS (not including those of the Supplemental Disability Fund,
which is "pooled"), for the City of Lubbock were $160,299,195. Unfunded actuarial accrued liabilities on December 31, 2000
were $40,414,170, which is being amortized over a 25-year period beginning January, 1997. Total contributions by the City to
the System for Calendar Year 2001 were $8,112,713.96.
FIREMEN'S RELIEF AND RETIREMENT FUND (I) ... City of Lubbock firefighters are members of the locally administered
Lubbock Firemen's Relief and Retirement Fund (the "FUND"), operating under an act passed in 1937 by the State Legislature
and adopted by City firefighters, by vote of the department, in 1941. Firefighters are not covered by Social Security.
The Fund is governed by seven trustees, three firefighters, two outside trustees (appointed by the other trustees), the Mayor or
his representative and the chief financial officer or his representative. Execution of the act is monitored by the Firemen's
Pension Commissioner, who is appointed by the Governor.
Benefits of retired firemen are determined on a "formula" or a "final salary" plan. Actuarial reviews are performed every two
years, and the fund is audited annually. Firefighters contribute 11% of full salary into the fund and the City must contribute a
like amount; however, the city contributes on a basis of the percentage of salary which is a ratio adjusted annually that bears 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 City's contribution rate for 2001 was 16.02%.
As of December 31, 2000, over-funded pension benefit obligations were $4,985,739 which is being amortized over a 13 year
period beginning January 1, 1997.

(1) The presentation of the City's General Fund income statements in its audited financial statements was changed in 1997,
resulting in different categorizations of expenditure items.
(2) The City's financial policies provide for transfers to the General Fund from the City's enterprise funds. The policies
provide that the water, waste water and solid waste funds transfer an amount sufficient to cover the pro rata share of the
City's general and administrative expenses, an amount representing a franchise payment equal to 3% of gross receipts and
an amount representing a payment in lieu of ad valorem taxes. The Electric System makes transfers for the foregoing
purposes, and, in addition, makes a transfer reflecting the System's share of street lighting expense. The City's policies with
respect to enterprise fund transfers are subject to change. Among the factors that could affect the transfers to the General
Fund is the effect of increased competition on the City's electric utility that could occur due to the implementation of Senate
Bill 7, which mandates open competition in the provision of retail electric service in the State commencing January 1, 2002,
although legislation has been introduced in the current Texas legislative session that, if adopted, will defer the beginning of
deregulation to January l, 2007 in the part of the State in which the City is located.
(3) The City's financial policies target a General Fund undesignated balance of at least two months of General Fund
expenditures. Amounts representing fund balances in excess of the target are reserved for future capital expenditures.

TABLE 14 • MUNICIPAL SALES TAX HISTORY
The City has adopted the Municipal Sales and Use Tax Act, VTCA, Tax Code, Chapter 321, which grants the City the power to
impose and levy a 1% Local Sales and Use Tax within the City; the proceeds are credited to the General Fund and are not
pledged to the payment of the Certificates or other debt of the City. In addition, in January, 1995, the voters of the City
approved the imposition of an additional sales and use tax of one-eighth of a cent as authorized by VTCA, Tax Code, Chapter
323, as amended. Collection for the additional tax commenced in October, 1995 with the proceeds from the one-eighth cent
sales tax designated for the use and benefit of the City to replace property tax revenues lost as a result of the adoption of the tax.
Collections and enforcements of the City's sales tax are effected through the offices of the Comptroller ofPublic Accounts, State
of Texas, who remits the proceeds of the tax, after deduction of a

The City Council adopted a resolution during the 1984-85 budget process establishing permanent capital maintenance funds for
capital prqjects. 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. In order 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. Many of the
projects require more than one year of completion and are accounted for on a life to date basis. For fiscal year ending 9-30-02, the
City Council has approved $43,407,670 in total expenditures for capital projects for all general purpose projects, as well as projects
for the City's Electric System Waterworks System, Sewer System, Solid Waste System, Storm Water System and Airport. The
Capital Projects Fund budget for 2001-2002 also identifies an additional $121,791,025 in future improvements, for all City
departments over the four succeeding fiscal years, including $69,074,941 to be financed through the issuance of tax-supported debt
in these years. The balance of the capital expenditures are anticipated to be funded from reserves or current year revenue sources.
FINANCIAL POLICIES
Basis of Accounting . . . The accounting policies of the City conform to generally accepted accounting principles of the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board and program standards adopted by the Government Finance Officer's Association of
the United States and Canada ("GFOA"). The GFOA has awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial
Reporting to the City for each of the fiscal years ended September 30, 1984 through September 30, 1999. The City's 2000
report will be submitted to GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate.
GASB 34 Implications (or the City of Lubbock ... In June 1999, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement No. 34, "Basic Financial Statements--Management's Discussion and Analysis--for State and Local Governments".
The objective of this Statement is to enhance the clarity and usefulness of the general-purpose external financial reports of state
and local governments to the citizenry, legislative and over$ight bodies, and investors and creditors~ The City must implement
GASB 34 for its fiscal year ending September 30, 2002. While adoption of this Statement will alter the presentation of some
35
financial information, management believes that there will be no material adverse impact to the City's financial position, results
of operation, or cash flows.
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.
Enterprise Fund Balance ... It is the policy of the City to maintain retained earnings equal to three months operating expense
and debt requirements in each enterprise fund for unforeseen contingencies. The City's financial policy provides that such
retained earnings shall be accumulated over a ten year period, which commenced in 1996. Resources are also retained in the
System's rate stabilization fund to meet shortfalls in revenues or fluctuating rate environments, to fund capital improvements and
may be allocated if there are not sufficient resources in unreserved/undesignated retained earnings.
Enterprise Fund Revenues ... It is the policy of the City that each enterprise fund be operated in a manner that results in self
sufficiency, without the need for additional monetary transfers from other funds. Such self sufficiency is to be obtained through
the rates, fees and charges of each enterprise fund. For purposes of determining self sufficiency, cost recovery for each
enterprise fund includes direct operating and maintenance expense, as well as indirect cost recovery, in-lieu of transfers to the
General Fund for property and franchise tax payments, capital expenditures and debt service payments, where appropriate.
Debt Service Fund Balance ... A reasonable debt service fund balance is maintained in order to compensate for unexpected
contingencies.
Budgetary Procedures ... The City follows these procedures in establishing operating budgets:
1) Prior to August 1, the City Manager submits to the City Council a proposed operating budget for the fiscal year
commencing the following October 1. The operating budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of
financing them.
2) Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comments.
3) Prior to October 1 the budget is legally enacted through passage of an ordinance.
4) The City Manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts between departments and funds. Expenditures may not
legally exceed budgeted appropriations at the fund level.
5) Formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control device during the year for the Convention and
Tourism, Criminal Investigation, and Capital Projects Funds. Budgets are adopted on an annual basis. Formal
budgetary integration is not employed for Debt Service funds because effective budgetary control is alternatively
achieved through general obligation bond indenture and other contract provisions.
6) The Budget for the General Fund is adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles
("GAAP").
7) Appropriations for the General Fund lapse at year end. Unencumbered balances for the Capital Projects Funds
continue as authority for subsequent period expenditures.
8) Budgetary comparison is presented for the General Fund in the combined financial statement section of the
. Comprehensive Annual financial Report.
The City has received the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award from the GFOA for the following budget years beginning
October I, 1983-88 and 1990-01. The City will submit the current budget to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another
award.
Insurance ... The City is self-insured for general liability and health benefits coverage, although it purchases reinsurance
coverage for claims in excess of$250,000 for general liability claims. Airport liability insurance and workers' compensation is
insured under policies issued by third party insurers. The City's Insurance policies are maintained with large deductibles for fire
and extended coverage and boiler coverage. An Insurance Fund has been established in the Internal Service Fund to account for
insurance programs and budgeted transfers are made to this fund based upon estimated payments for claim losses.
At 9-30-01 the total Fund Equity of these insurance funds are as follows:

THE SYSTEMS
Debt Service on the Waterworks Certificates is expected to be provided from surplus Net Revenues of the City's Waterworks
System. The following is a description of the Waterworks System. The Waterworks System is operated as a separate enterprise
fund of the City.
WATERWORKS SYSTEM
CONTRACTS AND FACILITIES
The City's raw water treatment plant treats Canadian River Municipal Water Authority raw water deliveries for the cities of
Brownfield, Lamesa, Levelland, O'Donnell, Slaton and Tahoka prior to CRMWA delivery"to those cities. Under contractual
agreements with these cities, Lubbock is fully reimbursed for all costs of this treatment, including capital costs and debt service;
the combined percentage in treatment plant costs for these cities is 20.34%.
Water Supply ... The primary source of water for Lubbock is the Sanford Darn and Reservoir Project of CRMWA, which
delivers raw water from its Lake Meredith reservoir, located on the Canadian River about 50 miles north of Amarillo, Texas, to
member cities through an underground aqueduct system. Lubbock is one of eleven member cities of CRMW A; other members
are Amarillo, Pampa, Borger, Plainview, Slaton, Levelland, Brownfield, Tahoka, O'Donnell and Lamesa. Lake Meredith was
constructed pursuant to a contract between CRMWA and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation dated November 28, 1960, as
amended. The City, as a participating member, contracted with the CRMW A to pay its pro-rata portion of the total reimbursable
cost of the project. Payments under the contract commenced in 1969. In the Spring of 1999, the City applied approximately
$12,212,861 of the proceeds of a series of refunding bonds to prepay its share of the Bureau of Reclamation loan. In accordance
with its contract with CRMWA, the City pays an annual operating and maintenance charge to CRMWA of certain fixed and
variable expenses associated with the project.
Lubbock received approximately 37,516 acre feet of water from CRMWA in Calendar Year 2001, approximately 84% of its total
consumption. On average, Lake Meredith water has provided 80% to 85% of Lubbock's water supply needs, with the balance of
15% to 20% being supplied by well water from the city-owned well field in Bailey County.
When the City and other members of CRMW A originally contracted for the right to receive water from Lake Meredith in 1960,
the water yield of the Lake was expected to be greater than it has actually produced. Each year, the Board of CRMW A
determines with respect to each member city the portion of water based upon original water yield assumptions that will be
provided to each city during the year.
In 1996, CRMWA member cities elected to participate in the North Panhandle Water Project (the "Project"). This Project
involves CRMWA purchasing 42,765 acres of water rights northeast of Borger, Texas, which occurred in August 1996.
Following the drilling of the wells and construction of the pipelines and other improvements, this groundwater is pumped to the
CRMW A pipeline where it is blended with surface water from Lake Meredith and delivered to member cities, including
Lubbock.
With the two combined projects allocation was increased from 38,000 acre feet per year to 41,000 acre feet per year. Lubbock's
annual average water consumption is 39,900 acre feet.
CRWMA is currently constructing desalinization facilities for Lake Meredith. The total cost of the desalinization project is
approximately $10 million, with the State of Texas and the U.S. Government contributing one third of the cost each and the
member cities of CRMWA contributing one third of the cost. Lubbock's share of this project is approximately $1.4 million.
Other Surface Water Supply Sources ... In 1994, the Brazos River Authority, on behalf of Lubbock, completed construction of
the John T. Montford Darn, in order to impound a conservation reservoir, known as the Lake Alan Henry reservoir, on the South
Fork of the Double Mountain Fork of the Brazos River. The Lake Alan Henry reservoir, located about 65 miles southeast of
Lubbock, was planned and constructed to enhance the provision of estimated long term water supply needs. Lubbock has
contracted with the BRA for the maintenance of the darn and operation of the reservoir.
On May 11, 1989, the City entered into a contract with the BRA, to extend the life of the revenue bonds issued by the BRA to
implement the construction of the Montford Darn and Lake Alan Henry. As of September 30, 2001, the outstanding principal
balance of the BRA revenue bonds was $50,355,000. Under its contract with the BRA, the City each year pays to the BRA: (a)
amounts sufficient to pay debt service; (b) maintenance and operations costs; and (c) management fees. In addition, the City will
buy and pay for the entire amount of water which can be supplied by the project whether or not used. Payments under the
contract constitute operating expenses of the City's Waterworks System, payable from gross revenues of the Waterworks System.
The City and the BRA are discussing various options to reduce the City's payment obligations under the contract.
39
At conservation storage, the reservoir will contain 115,937 acre-feet of water; mean depth at conservation storage will be
approximately 40 feet; maximum depth at the dam will be approximately 90 feet. The contributing drainage or watershed area is
an estimated 394 square miles. Presently the reservoir has impounded water to a depth of approximately 70 feet at the dam.
In 1988, future population and water demand estimates for Lubbock, projected by the Texas Water Development Board,
indicated a 60 to 78 percent increase in Lubbock's population by the year 2040. Recent updates reveal a more likely growth rate
of approximately 0.5% increase per year, or an estimated 30% increase in population during this same time period. Due to the
City's participation in the North Panhandle Project, construction of the associated facilities necessary to bring the Lake Alan
Henry water to the City (pipeline, pump stations, and an additional water treatment plant) has been delayed until use of this
water supply resource is required to meet water demand. The Lake Alan Henry reservoir is viewed as a long-range water supply
for the City. Based upon the City's participation in the North Panhandle Plains project, its water rights in the Sandhills Well
Field in Bailey County and the water from Lake Alan Henry, the City believes that it has addressed its water supply for at least
the next forty years.
In order to optimize the value of the Lake Alan Henry reservoir, the City in 1997 began constructing recreational improvements
on the 580-acre "Public Access Area" located on the North Shore of the reservoir. To date Lubbock has constructed a four-lane
boat ramp, a paved road, a parking lot, a boat dock and a fishing pier. In order to defray the cost of maintaining the reservoir as
a recreational facility, the City implemented a user fee schedule in March, 1997. Revenue from user fees during 2001 is
estimated to be $267,000.
Ground Water Supply ... Approximately 20% the City's water is obtained from 251 wells, all producing from the Ogallala
formation, which underlies the High Plains of Texas. The wells are used primarily for peaking purposes. Except for the addition
of chlorine, the City's ground water does not require treatment before it is introduced into the water distribution system.
Wellhead Protection ... Lubbock initiated the Wellhead Protection Program ("WHP") in response to a growing need to maintain
its existing groundwater supply and to protect it from environmental harm. In the face of recent droughts, water has become the
most precious resource in West Texas. Phase I of the WHP began in 1994 when Lubbock and the League of Women Voters
recruited and trained citizen volunteers. These volunteers, working with a map of Lubbock's 235 water supply wells, surveyed
land owners and identified possible sources of contamination located on their property. This extensive effort revealed possible
contamination that ranged from abandoned water wells and underground storage tanks to auto salvage yards and municipal
sewage lines.
As a result of Phase I activities, the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission ("TNRCC") began pursuing a federal
grant from the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") for the purpose of conducting non-point source pollution prevention
and reduction activities. Prior to pursuing this grant, the TNRCC approached the City to encourage its participation in a
$161,000 project to establish a wellhead protection program for its public water supply wells. On September 14, 1995, the City
Council authorized the City's participation in the WHP.
Public Education Program ... In an effort to minimize the need to acquire more water sources, the City implemented a youth
education program in 1997. The goal of this program is to teach water conservation techniques to elementary children in the
Lubbock Independent School District; bring an awareness to elementary children about water treatment, water reclamation, and
disposal of treated effluent by land application; to promote the protection of groundwater through education about water
percolation and the impacts of illegal dumping of oil, gasoline, and oilier pollutants that eventually contaminate groundwater.
The City's average daily residential water usage of approximately 170 gallons per capita per day ("GPCD") is higher than the
State's average of 167 GPCD. Lubbock is situated in an arid region which requires more water per capita for landscape irrigation
than many parts of the State. By implementing a youth education program, Lubbock hopes to make its children, the future
consumers of the utility, aware of limitations in water supplies and the need to conserve these supplies.
Water Treatment Facilities ... The water treatment plant for the treatment of raw water received from CRMWA has a design
capacity of 61.4 mgd and a maximum hydraulic capacity of 75 mgd. The plant has a 1,200 acre-feet open storage reservoir
which permits storage of raw water during "off-peak" periods, and 8.5 million gallons ("mg'') clearwell storage for treated water.
Water Storage ... Storage capacity includes a 1,200 acre-foot open storage reservoir near the water treatment plant, which
permits the storage of surplus water received from the CRWMA in off-peak periods. In addition, 13 storage reservoirs and 4
elevated steel storage tanks provide storage capacity of 66,750,000 gallons, sufficient for peak hours and fire protection
requirements.
Water Distribution Facilities ... The City's water distribution system includes approximately 1,264 miles of distribution lines,
237 miles of water supply lines and 3,882 fire hydrants.

TAX MATTERS
TAx ExEMPTION ... The delivery of the Obligations is subject to the opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that interest on the
Bonds, Waterworks Certificate or Sewer Certificates, as the case may be, for federal income tax purposes (I) will be excludable
from gross· income, as defined in section 61 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended to the date of such opinion (the
''Code"), pursuant to section 103 of the Code and existing regulations, published rulings, and court decisions, and (2) will not be
included in computing the alternative minimum taxable income of the owners thereof who are individuals or, except as
hereinafter described, corporations. A form of Bond Counsel's opinions is reproduced as Appendix C. The statute, regulations,
rulings, and court decisions on which such opinion is based are subject to change.
Interest on all tax-exempt obligations, including the Obligations, owned by a corporation will be included in such corporation's
adjusted current earnings for tax years beginning atler 1989, for purposes of calculating the alternative minimum taxable income
of such corporation, other than an S corporation, a qualified mutual fund, a real estate investment trust, a real estate mortgage
investment conduit , or a financial asset securitization investment trust (F ASIT). A corporation's alternative minimum taxable
income is the basis on which the alternative minimum tax imposed by Section 55 of the Code will be computed.
In rendering the foregoing opinions, Bond Counsel will rely upon representations and certifications of the City made in a
certificate dated the date of delivery of the Obligations pertaining to the use, expenditure, and investment of the proceeds of the
Obligations and will assume continuing compliance by the City with the provisions of the respective Ordinances subsequent to
the issuance of the Obligations. The respective Ordinances contain covenants by the City with respect to, among other matters,
the use of the proceeds of the Obligations and the facilities financed therewith by persons other than state or local governmental
units, the manner in which the proceeds of the Obligations are to be invested, the periodic calculation and payment to the lJnited
States Treasury Of arbitrage "profits" from the investment of the proceeds, and the reporting of certain information to the lJnited
States Treasury. Failure to comply with any of these covenants would cause interest on the Obligations to be includable in the
gross income of the owners thereof from date of the issuance of the Obligations.
Bond Counsel's opinion is not a guarantee of a result, but represents its legal judgment based upon its review of existing statutes,
regulations, published rulings and court decisions and the representations and covenants of the City described above. No ruling
has been sought from the Internal Revenue Service (the "Service") with respect to the matters addressed in the opinion of Bond
Counsel, and Bond Counsel's opinion is not binding on the Service. The Service has an ongoing program of auditing the tax-
exempt status of the interest on tax-exempt obligations. If an audit of the Bonds, Waterworks Certificates or Sewer Certificates,
as the case may be, is commenced, under current procedures the Service is likely to treat the City as the "taxpayer," and the
Owners would have no right to participate in the audit process. In responding to or defending an audit of the tax -exempt status
of the interest on the Obligations, the City may have different or conflicting interests from the Owners. Public awareness of any
future audit of the Bonds, Waterworks Certificates or Sewer Certificates, as the case may be, could adversely affect the value and
liquidity of the Bonds, Waterworks Certificates or Sewer Certificates, as the case may be, during the pendency of the audit,
regardless of its ultimate outcome.
Except as described above, Bond Counsel expresses no other opinion with respect to any other federal, state or local tax
consequences under present law, or proposed legislation, resulting from the receipt or accrual of interest on, or the acquisition or
disposition of, the Obligations. Prospective purchasers of the Bonds, Waterworks Certificates or Sewer Certificates, as the case
may be, should be aware that the ownership of tax-exempt obligations such as the Bonds, Waterworks Certificates or Sewer
Certificates, as the case may be, may result in collateral federal tax consequences to, among others, financial institutions, life
insurance companies, property and casualty insurance companies, certain foreign corporations doing business in the united
States, S corporations with subchapter C earnings and profits, individual recipients of Social Security or Railroad Retirement
benefits, individuals otherwise qualifying for the earned income tax credit, owners of an interest in a F ASIT, and taxpayers who
may be deemed to have incurred or continued indebtedness to purchase or carry, or who have paid or incurred certain expenses
allocable to, tax-exempt obligations. Prospective purchasers should consult their own tax advisors as to the applicability of these
consequences to their particular circumstances.
TAX ACCOUNTING TREATMENT OF DISCOUNT AND PREMIUM ON CERTAIN OBLIGATIONS ... The initial public offering price of
certain Bonds, Watemorks Certificates or Sewer Certificates, as the case may be, (the "Discount Obligations") may be less than
the amount payable at maturity. An amount equal to the difference between the initial public offering price of a Discount
Obligation (assuming that a substantial amount of the Bonds, the Waterworks Certificates or Sewer Certificates, as the case may
be, of that maturity are sold to the public at such price) and the amount payable at maturity constitutes original issue discount to
the initial purchaser of such Discount Obligation. A portion of such original issue discount allocable to the holding period of
such Discount Obligation by the initial purchaser will, upon the disposition of such Discount Obligation (including by reason of
its payment at maturity), be treated as interest excludable from gross income, rather than as taxable gain, for federal income tax
purposes, on the same terms and conditions as those for other interest on the Obligations described above under "Tax
Exemption." Such interest is considered to be accrued actuarially in accordance with the constant interest method overthe life of
a Discount Obligation, taking into account the semiannual compounding of accrued interest, at the yield to maturity on such
Discount Obligation and generally will be allocated to an original purchaser in a different amount from the amount of the
payment denominated as interest actually received by the original purchaser during the tax year.
44

-
-
-
-
-

However, such interest may be required to be taken into account in determining the alternative minimum taxable income of a
corporation, for purposes of calculating a corporation's alternative minimum tax imposed by Section 55 of the Code, and the
amount of the branch profits tax applicable to certain foreign corporations doing business in the United States, even though there
will not be a corresponding cash payment. In addition, the accrual of such interest may result in certain other collateral federal
income tax consequences to, among others, financial institutions, life insurance companies, property and casualty insurance
companies, S corporations with "subchapter C" earnings and profits, individual recipients of Social Security or Railroad
Retirement benefits, individuals otherwise qualifying for earned income tax credit, owners of an interest in a F ASIT, and
taxpayers who may be deemed to have incurred or continued indebtedness to purchase or carry, or who have paid or incurred
certain expenses allocable to, tax-exempt obligations. Moreover, in the event of the redemption, sale or other taxable disposition
of a Discount Obligation by the initial owner prior to maturity, the amount realized by such owner in excess of the basis of such
Discount Obligation in the hands of such owner (adjusted upward by the portion of the original issue discount allocable to the
period for which such Discount Obligation was held) is includable in gross income.
Owners of Discount Obligations should consult with their ovm tax advisors with respect to the determination of accrued original
issue discount on Discount Obligations for federal income tax purposes and with respect to the state and local tax consequences
of owning and disposing of Discount Obligations. It is possible that, under applicable provisions governing determination of
state and local income taxes, accrued interest on Discount Obligations may be deemed to be received in the year of accrual even
though there will not be a corresponding cash payment:
The initial public offering price of certain Bonds, Waterworks Certificates or Sewer Certificates, as the case may be, (the
"Premium Obligations") may be greater than the amount payable at maturity. An amount equal to the difference between the
initial public offering price of a Premium Obligation (assuming that a substantial amount of the Bonds, the Waterworks
Certificates or Sewer Certificates, as the case may be, of that maturity are sold to the public at such price) and the amount
payable at maturity constitutes premium to the initial purchaser of such Premium Obligations. The basis for federal income tax
purposes of a Premium Obligation in the hands of such initial purchaser must be reduced each year by the amortizable bond
premium, although no federal income tax deduction is allowed as a result of such reduction in basis for amortizable bond
premium. Such reduction in basis will increase the amount of any gain (or decrease the amount of any loss) to be recognized for
federal income tax purposes upon a sale or other taxable disposition of a Premium Obligation. The amount of premium which is
amortizable each year by an initial purchaser is determined by using such purchaser's yield to maturity.
Purchasers of the Premium Obligations should consult with their own tax. advisors with respect to the determination of
a...'!lortizable bond premium on Premium Obligations for federal income tax purposes and with respect to the state and local tax
consequences of owning and disposing of Premium Obligations.
45
OTHER INFORl\fA TION
RATINGS
The Obligations have been rated "Aa2" by Moody's, "AA+" by S&P and "AA+" byFitch. In addition, Moody's, S&P and Fitch
have assigned ratings of "Aaa", "AAA" and "AAA", respectively, to the Bonds maturing February 15, 2013 through February
15, 2022, with the understanding that, upon delivery, the Financial Guaranty Policy will be issued by Financial Guaranty
Insurance Company. The City also has two issues outstanding which are rated "Aaa" by Moody's, "AAA" by S&P and ''AAA"
by Fitch through insurance by various commercial insurance companies. An explanation of the significance of such ratings may
be obtained from the company furnishing the rating. The ratings reflect only the respective views of such organizations and the
City makes no representation as to the appropriateness of the ratings. There is no assurance that such ratings will continue for
any given period of time or that they will not be revised downward or withdrawn entirely by either or both of such rating
companies, if in the judgment of said companies, circumstances so warrant Any such downward revision or withdrawal of such
ratings may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Obligations.
LITIGATION
It is the opinion of the City Attorney and City Staff that there is no pending litigation against the City that would have a material
adverse financial impact upon the City or its operations.
REGISTRATION AND QUALIFICATION OF OBLIGATIONS FOR SALE
The sale of the Obligations have not been registered under the Federal Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance upon the
exemption provided thereunder by Section 3(a)(2); and the Obligations have not been qualified under the Securities Act of Texas
in reliance upon various exemptions contained therein; nor have the Obligations been qualified under the securities acts of any
jurisdiction. The City assumes no responsibility for qualification of the Obligations under the securities laws of any jurisdiction
in which the Obligations may be sold, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred. This disclaimer of
responsibility for qualification for sale or other disposition of the Obligations shall not be construed as an interpretation of any
kind with regard to the availability of any exemption from securities registration provisions.
LEGAL INVESTMENTS AND ELIGIBILITY TO SECURE PUBLIC FUNDS IN TEXAS
The Bonds. Section 1201.041 of the Public Security Procedures Act (Chapter 1201, Texas Government Code) provides that the
Bonds are negotiable instruments governed by Chapter 8, Texas Business and Commerce Code, and are legal and authorized
investments for insurance companies, fiduciaries, and trustees, and for the sinking funds of municipalities or other political
subdivisions or public agencies of the State of Texas. In addition, various provisions of the Texas Finance Code provide that,
subject to a prudence standard, the Bonds are legal investments for state banks, savings banks, trust companies with at least $1
million of capital, and savings and loan associations.
The Waterworks and Sewer Certificates. Section 251.051, Texas Local Government Code, provides that the Waterworks and
Sewer Certificates are legal and authorized investments for banks, savings banks, trust companies, building and loan
associations, savings and loan associations, insurance companies, fiduciaries, trustees and guardians, and for the sinking funds of
municipalities, school districts, and other political subdivisions or public agencies of the State of Texas. The Waterworks and
Sewer Certificates are eligible to secure deposits of any public funds of the state, municipalities, school districts, and other
political subdivisions of the state, and are legal security for those deposits to the extent of their market value.
General ·Considerations. For political subdivisions in Texas that have adopted investment policies and guidelines in
accordance with the Public Funds Investment Act (V.T.C.A., Government Code, Chapter 2256), the Obligations may have to be
assigned a rating of" A" or its equivalent as to investment quality by a national rating agency before such obligations are eligible
investments for sinking funds and other public funds. The City has made no investigation of other laws, rules, regulations or
investment criteria which might apply to such institutions or entities or which might limit the suitability of the Obligations for
any of the foregoing purposes or limit the authority of such institutions or entities to purchase or invest in the Obligations for
such purposes. The City has made no review of laws in other states to determine whether the Obligations are legal investments
for various institutions in those states.

GOVERNMENT AND MILITARY (1)
Reese Air Force Base (Reese), a pilot training base located adjacent to the City, was included on the list of bases approved for closure
by the President and Congress in July, 1995. Reese closed on September 30, 1997.
As a result of the closure, the City developed a re-use plan for the facilities. Reese represented approximately 2.6% of the local work
force. While closure of the base did not have a positive impact on the Lubbock economy, the growth in other economic sectors
minimized or neutralized the effect of the closure of the base. In addition, there has been a positive economic impact from the re-use
of the base.
In 1997, the Texas Legislature enacted Chapter 2300 of the Texas Government Code that provided for the creation of the Lubbock
Reese Redevelopment Authority (the "Authority"). The Authority is a political subdivision of the St~te of Texas and is authorized to
accept title from the United States to all or any portion of the real, permanent, and mixed property situated within Reese Air Force
Base. The Authority is empowered to manage, lease, sale and develop the property at Reese Air Force Base.
The former air base, now known as Reese Technology Center and is the home of the prized Institute of Environmental and Human
Health (TIEHH). TIEHH is a joint venture between Texas Tech University and Texas Tech Health Sciences Center and researches
the exposure and effects toxic chemicals have on human health and the environment. TIEHH has assisted in stimulating the Lubbock
economy by creating 157 jobs with a payroll-to-date of9.9 million. TIEHH's location as the anchor tenant at the Reese Technology
Center has assisted the facility in being transformed into a research, industrial and commercial center. Other research facilities that
have been relocated to Reese Technology Center is the Texas Tech University Wind Engineering and Advanced Vehicle Engineering
Research Centers.
South Plains College has also taken advantage of Resse Technology Centers accessibility and proximity and moved their entire
Lubbock campus to Reese. South Plains College has more than 3.300 students a semester at the Reese Technology Center.

refrigeration, freezing and cryogenics for food products. Also located at Reese is the centralized operation of Asian. This company

by GAAP, the GPFS present the reporting entity which consists of the City (a primary government),
organizatlons 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 GPFS to be misleading or incomplete.
BLENDED COMPONENT UNITS
The following component unit has been included in the City's financial reporting entity using the
blended method because although it is legally separate, its operations are so intertwined with the City
that it is, in substance, a part of the City.
The Urban Renewal Agency (URA) was formed to provide urban renewal services for the City, that
include rehabilitation of housing, acquisition of housing, and disposition of land. The Urban
Renewal Agency Board is composed of nine members appointed by the Mayor, with the consent of
the City Council, and acts only in an advisory capacity to the City Council. All powers to govern
URA are held by the City Council.
DISCRETELY PRESENTED COMPONENT t.Jl'.ITIS
The Component Unit colunms in the combined financial statements include the financial data of the
City's other Component Units. They are reported in a separate column to emphasize that they are
legally separate from the City. The following Component Units are included in the reporting entity
because the primary government is financially accountable and is able t.o . impose its will on the
organization. ·A primary government has the ability to impose its will if it can significantly influence
operations and/or activities of an organization.
City Tl"llllsit Management Co., Inc. dba. Citibus (Citibus) is a legally separate entity that operates a
City owned transportation system. In 1998, the City renewed a five year management agreement with
McDonald Transit Associates, Inc. to manage and operate Citibus. The City Council appoints the
seven-member Lubbock Public Transit Advisory Board, and approves the annual budget. The City is
responsible for funding deficits. Citibus is reported as a proprietary type component unit.

JOINT VENTURE
In May 1998, the City, along with three other cities in the West Texas area, entered into an agreement
with the West Texas Municipal Power Authority (~WTMPA") to purchase power generated by a co-
generation facility to be constructed with the proceeds obtained from the issuance of$28,910,000 of
revenue bonds issued by WTMP A. The contractual arrangement with WTMP A calls for each
participating city to guarantee payments of the WTMP A bond debt service in the event the net
revenues of the power sales contracts with the participating cities is not adequate to cover the debt
service. The City has an ongoing financial interest in WTMP A through the contfl!Ctual arrangement
to purchase generated power and is also considered to have an ongoing financial responsibility due to
the manner in which the debt service is guaranteed as well as the responsibility for financing the
operations of the joint venture by purchasing the power generated by WTMP A which will benefit the
citizens of Lubbock.
Financial information for WTMPA can be obtained from the City of Lubbock, P.O. Box 2000,

B. BASIS OF PRESENTATION -FUND ACCOUNTING
The financial transactions of the City are recorded in individual funds and account groups. A fund is
a separate set of self-balancing accounts.
The various funds are classified into three categories: governmental, proprietary and fiduciary. The
following fund types and account groups are used by the City:

Notes to Financial Statements
September 30J 2001
NOTE I. SLTMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POUCIES
B. BASIS OF PRESENTATION-FUND ACCOUNTING <CONTINUED)
GOVERNMENTAL FUND TYPES
General Fund is the general operating fund of the City. It is used to account for all financial
transactions except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources (other than
special assessments, expendable trusts, or major 'capital projects) that are segregated for specified
purposes.
The Debt Service Fund is used to account for the accumulation of financial resources for the
payment of interest and principal on the general long-term debt of the City.
Capital Project Funds are used to account for financial resources to be used for the acquisition or
construction of major capital facilities (other than those financed by Proprietary Funds or Trust
Funds).
PROPRIETARY FUND TYPES
Enterprise Funds are used to account for operations of the City (a) that are financed and operated in
a manner similar to private business enterprises, where the intent is to provide goods or services to the
general public on a continuing basis, the cost of which is to be . recovered in whole or part through
user charges; or (b) where the governing body has decided that periodic determination of revenues
earned, expenses incurred, and/or net income is appropriate for capital maintenance, public policy,
management control, accountability, or other purposes.
Internal Service Funds are used to account for the financing of goods and services provided by one
department or agency to other departments or agencies of the City, or to other governments, on a user
charge basis.
FIDUCIARY FUND TYPES
Transactions related to assets held by the City in a trustee capacity or as an agent for individuals,
private organizations, other governments and other funds, are accounted for in fiduciary fund types.
Fiduciary fund types are comprised of:
Expendable Trust Funds account for assets received and expended by the City as trustee in
essentially the same manner as governmental fund types.
Agency Funds are used to account for assets held by the City as a custodial trustee. They are
accounted for on the modified accrual basis of accounting with respect to asset and liability
recognition, but do not have a measurement focus since agency funds do not account for operations.
ACCOUNT GROUPS
General Fixed Assets Account Group represents a summary of the fixed assets of the City, other
than those fixed assets reported in the Proprietary Funds. Capital expenditures of the Capital Projects
Fund are the primary source from which the detailed records of the general fixed assets account group
are developed. Capital expenditures are carried in this account group as construction in progress until
the projects are completed and are then capitalized by function and classification.

NOTE I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
B. BASIS OF PRESENTATION· FUND ACCOUNTING (CONTINUED>
Infrastructure fixed assets such as streets, highways, bridges, sidewalks, street lighting, traffic poles
and signals, and stonn sewers, are accounted for in the General Fixed Assets Account Group and
reported in the Schedule of General Fixed Assets.
General fixed assets are not depreciated and are recorded at historical cost at the time of acquisition.
Donated assets are recorded at their fair market value on the date donated.
General Long-Term Debt Account Group is used to account for the City's liability for general long-
tenn debt such as general obligation bonds, certificates of obligation, and obligations for employee
vacation, sick-leave benefits, insurance claims and rebatable arbitrage, other than those reported in
the Proprietary Funds.
C. BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The modified accrual basis of accounting and the flow of cUITent financial resources measurement
focus is followed for governmental fund types and expendable trust funds. Under this basis of
accounting, expenditures, other than interest on long-tenn debt in the Debt Service Fund, Which is
recorded when due, are recorded when the liability is incurred. Revenues are recorded when received
in cash unless susceptible to accrual. Revenues under the modified accrual basis must be both
measurable and available to finance CUITent year appropriations. Revenues considered to be
susceptible to accrual under the modified accrual basis are property tax, sales tax, franchise tax,
hotel/motel tax, certain grant revenue and invesnnent income. The accrual basis of accounting and
the flow of economic resources is followed in the enterprise funds and internal service funds. Under
this method of accounting, revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recorded when
a liability is incUITed.
Under the cUITent financial resources measurement focus, only CUITent assets and current liabilities
are included on the balance sheet. Net current assets or fund balance is considered a measure of
available expendable resources. This measurement focus is concerned primarily with the measure of
interperiod equity (e.g. whether CUITent year revenues were sufficient to pay for cUITent year services).
Enterprise funds and internal service funds are accounted for using an economic resources
measurement focus. All assets and liabilities including fixed assets and long-tenn debt are included
on the balance sheet Fund equity is segregated into its contributed capital and retained earnings
components. Proprietary fund type operating statements present inereases (revenues} and decreases
(expenses) in net total assets.
D. BUDGETARY ACCOUNTING
Annual budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles for
the General Fund only. Capital project funds adopt project-length budgets. All annual appropriations
lapse at the end of the fiscal year.
Annually, the City Manager submits to City Council a proposed operating budget for the upcoming
fiscal year. Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comments, and the budget is legally
enacted through passage of an ordinance by the City Council.
Budgetary control is maintained by department and by the following category of expenditures:
personnel services, supplies, maintenance, other charges, and capital outlay. All budget supplements
must be approved by the City Council. Administrative transfers and increases or decreases in
accounts within categories may be made by management as long as expenditures do not exceed

NOTE I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POUCIES
D. BUDGETARY ACCOUNTING (CONTINUED)
budgeted appropriations at the fund level. Budgeted amounts shown are from the revised budget,
adopted by Ordinance No. 2001-00040 on June 14,2001. During the year, the budget was revised to
reflect a 2.6% increase in General Fund operating revenues and a 2.3% increase for the General Fund
operating expenditures from the original budget. Each year, in accordance with State law, the City
Council sets an ad valorem tax levy for a sinking fund (General Obligation Debt Service) which, with
cash and investments in the fund, would be sufficient to pay all the bonded indebtedness and interest
due in the following fiscal year.
E. ENCUMBRANCES
At the end of the year, encumbrances for which goods and/or services have not been received are
canceled. At the beginning of the next year, management reviews all open encumbrances. During the
budget revision process, encumbrances may be re-established. On October 1, 200 I, the General Fund
had no significant amounts of open encumbrances.
F. ASSETS. LIABILITmS AND FUND EQUITY
Equity in Pooled 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 maintained which
reflect each fund's equity in the pooled account. GAAP requires certain investments to be carried at
fair value with the change in fair value included in the determination of investment income shown in
the operating statement. Due to the nature of the City's investments, the difference between
amortized cost and market value is not significant such that the carrying value of the portfolio is
considered to approximate fair market value.
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 which present an insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest
rates.
Property Tax Receivable -The value of all real and business property located in the City is
assessed annually on January I in conformity with Subtitle E of the Texas Property Code. Property
taxes are levied on October I 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 taxes,
penalties and interest ultimately imposed. The taxes are considered delinquent if not paid before
February I. Therefore, at the City's fiscal year end, September 30, all property taxes receivable are
delinquent, but are secured by a tax lien.
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 the Debt Service
funds based on tax rates adopted for the year of levy. The District adjusts the allowance for
· uncollectible taxes and deferred tax revenue at year end based upon historical collection experience.
Accordingly, at August 31 of each year, property taxes receivable less the allowance for uncollectible
taxes and deferred tax revenue is equivalent to the projected tax collections from September I through
October 15 of the same year. To write-off property taxes receivable, with specific statutory authority
from the Texas Legislature, the District eliminates the receivable and reduces the allowance for
uncollectible accounts.
Enterprise Fund Receivable-Within the Electric, Water, Sewer and Solid Waste Enterprise Funds,
services rendered but not billed as of the close of the fiscal year, are not considered significant.
Amounts billed are reflected as accounts receivable net of an allowance for uncollectibles.

Inventories • Inventories consist of expendable supplies held for consumption. Inventories are
valued at cost using the average cost method of valuation, and are accounted for using the
consumption .method of accounting (i.e., inventory is expensed when used rather than when
purchased).
Prepaid Items -Prepaid items are accounted for under the consumption method.
Restricted Assets -Certain enterprise fund assets are restricted for construction which bas been
funded through long-term debt, therefore, retained earnings have been reserved for these amounts.
The excess of other restricted assets over related liabilities are included as retained earnings reserved
for capital projects, rate stabilization, economic development and bond indentures.
Fixed Assets and Depreciation -General fixed assets are not capitalized in the funds used to acquire
or construct them. Instead, capital acquisition and construction are reflected as expenditures in
Governmental Funds, and the related assets are reported in the General Fixed Assets Account Group.
All purchased fixed assets are recorded at cost. Donated assets are recorded at the fair value on the
date of donation. Assets in the General Fixed Assets Account Group are not depreciated. Property,
plant and equipment of the Proprietary Funds are stated at cost or estimated market value for donated
assets and capitalized in the fund that acquired or constructed them. Depreciation is computed using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives as follows:
Improvements
Buildings
Equipment
10-SO years
IS-SO years
3-15 years
Interest Capitalization -The City does not capitalize interest cost. Interest capitalization would not
be significant to the GPFS.
Advances to Otber Funds -Amounts owed to one fund by another which are not due within one year
are recorded as advances to other funds. These are equally offset by a fund balance reserve amount in
the governmental funds, which indicates they do not constitute available expendable resources.
G. RISK MANAGEMENT
The City is required to fund amounts into accounts from which medical and dental claims are paid by
a third party administrator, and as a result is effectively self-insured. The liability for incurred claims
represents estimates for medical and dental claims incurred as of September 30, 2001. Some of these
claims were reported at September 30, 2001, and others which are incurred but not reported (IBNR),
may not be reported until a later date. IBNR is calculated by the City's independent insurance
administrator. In order to mitigate the risk associated with the City's medical coverage, the City
purchased individual stop loss coverage of S I SO,OOO.
In April 1999, the City purchased worker's compensation coverage, with no deductible, from a third
party. Prior to Aprill999, the City was self insured for worker's compensation claims. Any claims
outstanding in April 1999 are the responsibility of the City.
The City's self-insured general liability program is on a cash flow basis, which means that the service
contractor processes, adjusts and pays claims from a deposit provided by the City. The City accounts
for the general liability program by charging premiums based upon losses, administrative fees and
reserve requirements. In order to control the risks associated with general liability claims, the City
purchased reinsurance coverage for claims in excess of $250,000.

CITY OF LUBBOCK, TEXAS
Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2001
NOTE I. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
G. RISK MANAGEMENT {CONTINUED)
For self-insured coverage, the Risk Management Fund established claim liabilities based on estimates
of the ultimate cost of claims (including future claim adjustment expenses) that have been reported
but not settled, and of claims that have been incurred but not reported. The length of time for which
such costs must be estimated varies depending on the coverage involved. Estimated amounts of
salvage and subrogation and reinsurance recoverable on unpaid claims are deducted from the liability
for unpaid claims. Because actual claim costs depend on such complex factors as inflation, changes
in doctrines oflegalliability, and damage awards, the process used in computing claim liabilities does
not necessarily result in an exact amount, particularly for general liability coverage. Claim liabilities
are recomputed periodically using a variety of actuarial and statistical techniques to produce current
estimates that reflect recent settlements, claim frequency, and other economic and social factors.
Adjustments to claim liabilities are charged or credited to expense in the period in which they are
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 has a
$250,000 deductible per occurrence, and the boiler coverage insurance deductible is up to $100,000
dependent upon the unit. Premiums are charged to funds based upon policy premiums and reserve
payments.
Other small insurance policies, such as surety bond coverage and miscellaneous floaters, are
accounted for in the Risk Management Fund. Funds are charged expenditures based on premium
amounts and administrative charges. The City has had no significant reductions in insurance
coverage during the year. Settlements in the current year and preceding two years have not exceeded
insurance coverage. The City accounts for all insurance activity in. Internal Service Funds.
H. REVENUES. EXPENSES AND EXPENDITURES
Interest Income on pooled cash and investments is allocated monthly based on the percentage of a
fund's six month rolling average monthly balance in pooled cash and investments to the total citywide
six month rolling average monthly balance in pooled cash and investments, except for certain Trust
and Agency Funds, certain Special Revenue Funds, Governmental Capital Project Funds, and certain
Internal Service Funds. The interest income on pooled cash and investments of these funds is
reported in the General Fund or the Debt Service Fund.
Sales Tu Revenue for the City results from an allocation of 1.125% of the total sales tax levy of
7.875%, which is collected by the State of Texas and remitted to the City monthly. The tax is
collected by the vendor and required to be remitted to the State by the 20th of the month following
collection. The tax is then paid to the City by the I Oth of the next month. On January 21, 1995,
voters approved a 118 cent increase in sales tax to reduce the property tax rate which went into effect
October 1, 1995. The 45 day availability period provides for full accrual of sales taxes.
Grant Revenue from federal and state grants is recognized to the extent that the related expenditure
has been incurred and reimbursement received or requested.
Ioterfund Transactions or quasi-external transactions are accounted for as revenues, expenditures or
expenses. Transactions that constitute reimbursements to a fund for expendirureslexpenses initially
made from that fund that are properly applicable to another fund, are recorded as
expenditures/expenses in the reimbursing fund and as reductions of expenditures/expenses in the fund
that is reimbursed.

H. REVENUES. EXPENSES AND EXPENDITURES CCONTINUEDl
Nonrecurring or nonroutine permanent transfers of equity are reported as residual equity transfers.
All other interfund transactions except quasi-external transactions, reimbursements, temporary
receivables and payables, and residual equity transfers are reported as operating transfers.
Compensated Absences consists of vacarion leave and sick leave. Vacation leave of 10..20 days is
granted to all regular employees dependent upon the date employed, years of service, and civil service
status. Currently, up to 40 hours of vacation leave may be "carried over" to the next calendar year.
The City is obligated to make payment upon retirement or termination for any available, unused
vacation leave.
Sick leave for employees is accrued at 1 V. days per month with a maximum accrual status of 200
days. After 1 5 years of continuous full time services for non-civil service personnel, vested sick leave
is paid on retirement or termination. at the current hourly rate for up to 90 days. Upon retirement or
termination, Civil Service Personnel (Police) are paid for up to 90 days accrued sick leave after one
year of employment. Civil Service Personnel (Firefighters) are paid for up to 135 days of accrued
sick leave upon retirement or termination. The Texas Civil Service laws dictate certain benefits and
personnel policies above and beyond those policies of the City.
The liability for the accumulated vacarion and sick leave is recorded in the general long-term debt
account group for governmental fund employees and as a noncurrent liability in the proprietary funds
for proprietary fund employees. Management has determined that the current portion of this liability
is not significant to the overall financial position of the City.
Post Employment Benefits for retirees of the City of Lubbock include the option to purchase health
and life insurance benefits at their own expense. Amounts to cover premiums and administrative
costs, with an inerernental charge for reserve funding, are determined by the City's health care

NOTE ll. STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY
A. RETAINED EARNINGS/FUND BALANCE DEFICITS
The deficit of $482,728 in the General Capital Projects Fund is due to timing differences of incurring
capital outlay expenditures for an internally financed project. Over the term of the borrowing
arrangement, transfers in from Special Revenue Funds will eliminate the deficit.
The deficit of $179,387 in the Library Expendable Trust Fund is the result of a timing difference
between expenditures incurred and the filing of requests for reimbursements. These funds have not
been accrued, as certain reimbursement amounts are not measurable at September 30, 2001, which is
consistent with the revenue recognition required by the modified accrual basis of accounting.
The deficit of $1,680,824 in the Community Development Expendable Trust Fund is the result of
timing differences between expenditures incurred and the filing of requests for reimbursements. These
funds have not been accrued, as certain reimbursement amounts are not available at September 30,
2001, which is consistent with the revenue recognition required by the modified accrual basis of
accounting.
The deficit of $28,332 in the Community Services Expendable Trust Flllld is the result of timing
differences between expenditures incurred and the filing of requests for reimbursements. These funds
have not been accrued, as certain reimbursement amounts are not available at September 30, 2001,
which is consistent with the revenue recognition required by the modified accrual basis of accounting.
The deficit of $507,846 in the Police Expendable Trust Fund is the result of a timing difference
between expenditures incurred and the filing of requests for reimbursements. These funds have not
been accrued, as certain reimbursement amounts are not available at September 30, 2001, which is
consistent with the revenue recognition required by the modified accrual basis of accounting.
The deficit in the Golf Enterprise Fund of $1,870,791 is the result of placing itself in a more
competitive position through non-capital course equipment improvements. On October 13, 1994, the
City contracted with Fore Star Golf, Inc. for management services to be provided for the golf course
operations. The management agreement is effective through December 31, 2014. Over the term of
the contract, Fore Star Golf, Inc. will receive a ponion of the golf course revenues based on a sliding
scale. Additionally, management has approved a 10 year funding source from the General Fund to
eliminate the deficit beginning in fiscal 2002.
The retained earnings deficit of $433,503 in the Internal Service Management Information Fund
results from the practice of not recovering depreciation through user charges. Management is
evaluating user charges in order to recover depreciation, financing and capital costs, and the retained
earnings deficit.

represents an advertising contract with the United Spirit Arena. The advertising (and amortization)
began with the opening of the sports arena in fiscal2000 and will continue for 30 years.
The deferred charges also include an amount of$1,643,133 at September 30,2001, which represents
prepayments for a contract for future delivery of natural gas as contracted for by the City. In 1988, a
contract was entered into for the purchase of proven and unproven reserves, totaling 2,000,000
MMBTU at $1.56 per MMBTU with an option, which the City has exercised, to purchase an
additional2,000,000 MMBTU at the same price. Quantities in excess of the first 4,000,000 MMBTU
can then be purchased at market value. During 1988, proven reserves of 338,000 MMBTU were
purchased at the $1.56 rate. The remaining reserves are being purchased as proven. One-half the
rate, or S. 78 per MMBTU, is paid upon proven determination of the reserves and the balance is to be
paid upon delivery. The prepayments are to be expensed as the gas is taken until the prepaid units of
gas have been consumed. At September 30,2001 and 2000, 1,317,934 MMBTU had been delivered,
and remaining proven reserves at September 30,2001 and 2000 were 2,104,273 MMBTU.

Each qualified employee is included in one of two retirement plans in which the City of Lubbock
participates. These are the Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS) and the Lubbock Firemen's
Relief and Retirement Fund (LFRRF). The City does not maintain the accounting records, hold the
investments or administer either fund.
Summary of significant data for each retirement plan follows:
TEXAS MUNICIPAL RETIREMENT SYSTEM (TMRS)
Plan Description
The City provides pension benefits for all of its full-time employees (with the exception of
firefighters) through a non-traditional, joint contributory, hybrid defmed benefit plan in the state-wide
TMRS, one of 745 administered by TMRS, an agent multiple-employer public employee retirement
system.
Benefits depend upon the sum of the employee's contributions to the plan, with interest, and the City-
financed monetary credits, with interest. At the date the plan began, the City granted monetary credits
for service rendered before the plan began of a theoretical amount equat 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%, 150%, or 200%) of the employee's
accumulated contributions. In addition, the City can grant, as often as annually, another type of
monetary credit referred to as an updated service credit which is a theoretical amount which, when
added to the employee's accumulated contributions and the monetary credits

for service since the plan \1egan, would be the total monetary credits and employee contributions
accumulated with interest if the cum:nt employee contnoution rate and City matching percent had
always been in existence and if the employee's salary had always been the average of his salary in the
last three years that are one yeat before the effective date. At retirement, the benefit is calculated as if
the sum of the employee's accll1l1lliated contributions with interest and the employer-financed
monetary credits with interest were used to purchase an annuity.
Members can retire at ages 60 and above with I 0 or more years of service or with 25 years of service
regardless of age. As of September 30, 2001, a member is vested after 10 years. During 2001,
legislation was enacted that changed the vesting period from 10 years to 5 years. This 5 yeat vesting
period begins January 2002. The plan provisions are adopted by the governing body of the City,
within the options available in the state statutes governing TMRS and within the actuarial constraints
also in the statutes.
Contributions
The contribution rate for the employees is 7% and the City matching ratio is cum:ntly 2 to 1, both as
adopted by the governing body of the City. Under the state law governing TMRS, the actuary
annually determines the City contribution rate. This rate consists of the normal cost contribution rate
and the prior service contribution rate, both of which are calculated to be a level percent of payroll
from year to year. The normal cost contribution rate finances the currently accruing monetary credits
due to the City matching percent, which are the obligation of the City as of an employee's retirement
date, not at the rime the employee's contributions are made. The normal cost contribution rate is the
actuarially determined percent of payroll necessary to satisfy the obligation of the City to each
employee at the rime hlslher retirement becomes effective. The prior service contribution rate
amortizes the unfunded (overfunded) actuarial liability (asset) over the remainder of the plan's 25-
year amortization period. The unit credit actuarial cost method is used for dererrnining the City
contribution rate. Both the employees and the City make contributions monthly. Since the City
needs to know its contribution rate in advance for budgetary purposes, there is a one-year delay
between the actuarial valuation that is the basis for the rate and the calendar year when the rate goes
into effect (i.e. December 31, 2000 valuation is effective for rates beginning January 2002).
Actuarial Assumptions
The actuarial assumptions for the December 30, 2000 valuations are as follows:

LUBBOCK fiREFIGHTER'S RELIEF AND RETIREMENT FUND (LFRRF)
Plan Description
The Board of Trustees of the LFRRF is the administrator of a single-employer defined benefit
pension pian. This pension fund is a trust fund. It is reported by the City as a related organization and
is not considered to be a part of the City financial reporting entity. Firefighters in the Lubbock Fire
Department are covered by the LFRRF.
The LFRRF provides service retirement, death, disability and withdrawal benefits. These benefits
vest after 20 years of credited 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. A partially vested benefit is provided for firefighters who terminate
employment with at least I 0 but less than 20 years of service. The LFRRF Plan Effective December
I, 200 I provides a monthly normal service retirement benefit, payable in a Joint and Two-Thirds to
Spouse form of annuity, equal to 70.02% ofFinai48-Month Average Salary Plus $335.05 per month
for each year of service in excess of 20 years.

E. RETIREMENT PLANS !CONTINUED)
A firefighter has the option to participate in a Retroactive Deferred Retirement Option Plan (RETRO
DROP) which will provide a lwnp sum benefit and a reduced annuity upon termination of
employment. Firefighters must be at least 51 with 21 years of service at the selected "RETRO DROP
benefit calculation date" (which is prior to date of employment termination). Early R.ETRO DROP
with benefit reductions is available at age 50 with 20 years of service for the selected .. early RETRO
DROP benefit calculation date". A Partial Lwnp Sum option is also available where a reduced
monthly benefit is detennined based on an elected lwnp 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 forms are also available at varying levels of surviving spouse benefits
instead of the standatd two-thirds form.
There is no provision for automatic postretirement benefit increases. The fund has the authority to
provide, and has periodically in the past provided for, ad hoc postretirement benefit increases. The
benefit provisions of this plan are authorized by the Texas Local Fire Fighter's Retirement Act
(TLFFRA). TLFFRA provides the authority and procedure to amend benefit provisions.
Contributions Required and Contributions Made
The contribution 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.
State law requires that each plan of benefits adopted by the fund must be approved by an eligible
actuary. The actuary certifies that the contribution commitment by the firefighters and the City
provides an adequate financing arrangement. Using the entry age actuarial cost method LFRRF's
normal cost contribution rate is determined as a percentage of payroll. The excess of the total
contribution rate over the normal cost contribution rate is used to amortize LFRRF's unfunded
actuarial accrued liability (UAAL), if any, and the number of years needed to amortize LFRRFs
unfunded actuarial liability, if any, is determined using a level percentage of payroll method.
"When there is a negative UAAL, the actuarially required contribution rate for compliance with GASB
27 is detennined by amortizing the negative UAAL over 30 years using a level percentage of payroll
method. This will be the case for 2001 and 2002 (calendar years) based on the most recent re8ults of
the December 31, 2000 valuation.
The costs of administering the plan are financed from the trust.
LFRRF' s funding policy requires contributions equal to 11% of pay by the firefighters. Contributions
by the City are based on a formula which causes the City's contribution rate to fluctuate from year to
year. The December 31, 2000 actuarial valuation {most recent) assumes that the City's contributions
will average 15% of payroll in the future.
The plan of benefits most recently adopted effective December I, 2001 was adopted cautiously,
allowing for future unforeseen contingencies in light of the unsettled investment environment that
existed in the fall of 2001 when various plan amendments were being studied and considered.
Theretore, even though the actual contributions for the 2001 and 2002 plan years (calendar years) are
somewhat greater than the Annual Required Contributions defined by GASB 27, the actuary

certified the most recent plan of benefits assuming that the present financing arrangement would
continue and would be necessary for an adequate financing arrangement for the long-term future.
Annual Pension Cost
The Annual Required Contributions (ARC), the Annual Pension Cost (APC) and the Net Pension
Obligation (NPO) are developed in such a manner to satisfy the parameters of GASB Statement No.
27. The required contributions for the period prior to January 1, 200 I are based on the actuarial
valuation as of December 31, 1998. The required contributions for the period beginning January I,
2001 are based on the actuarial valuation as of December 31, 2000 and reflect the December I, 2001
plan provisions. The ARC and the APC for the year ended September 30, 2001 was $1,366,293 and
the actual City contributions (ARC) made for the year was $1,960,306 resulting in an NPO of
$(594,013).
The entry age actuarial cost method was used, with the normal cost calculated as a level percentage of
payroll. The actuarial value of assets was determined based on a five-year smoothed fair-market
value of assets. The actuarial assumptions included an investment return assumption of 8.5 % per
year (net of administrative expenses), projected salary increases including promotion and longevity
averaging 6.5% per year over a 25 year career, and no postretirement cost-of-living adjustments. An
inflation assumption of 4.5% per year is included in the investment return and salary increase
assumptions. As of the December 31, 2000 actuarial valuation date and based on plan provisions
effective December I, 2001, the fund's assets exceeded the actuarial accrued liability resulting in a
negative unfunded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL). The negative UAAL is amortized over 30
years using an open, level percentage of payroll method, assuming that the payroll will increase 4.5%
per year.

F. DEFERRED COMPENSATION
The City offers its employees three deferred compensation plans created in accordance with Internal
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 deferred compensation is not available to employees
until termination, retirement, death or unforeseeable emergency. The Plan's assets are held in trust
for the exclusive benefits of the participants and their beneficiaries.
In management's opinion, the level of administrative services provided by City staff warrants
inclusion of the plans in the financial reporting entity as an expendable trust fund.
G. SURFACE WATER SUPPLY
Canadian River Municipal Water Authority
The Canadian River Municipal Water Authority {CRMWA) is a Conservation and Reclamation
District established by the Texas Legislature to construct a dam, water reservoir and aqueduct system
for the purpose of supplying water to surrounding cities. The District was created in 1953 and
comprises eleven cities, including the City. The budget, financing and operations of the District are
governed by a Board of Directors selected by the governing bodies of each of the member cities, each
city being entitled to one or two members dependent upon population. At September 30, 2001, 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
Darn and aqueduct system in exchange for surface water. Accordingly, prior to fiscal 1999, such
payments were made solely out of water system revenues and were not general obligations of the
City. The City's pro rata share of annual fixed and variable operating and reserve assessments is
recorded as an expense of obtaining surface water.
Prior to fiscal 1999, the long-term debt was owed to the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation for the cost of
Construction of the facility, which was completed in 1969. The City's allocation of project cost was
$32,905,862. During the year ended September 30, 1999, bonds in the principal amount of
$12,300,000 were issued to payoff the construction obligation owed to the U.S. Bureau of
Reclamation via CRMWA in the amount of $20,809,067. The difference of $8,509,067 was a
discount in the remaining principal provided by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation to the member cities.
This discount has been recorded as a deferred gain on refunding and is being amortized over the life
of the refunding bonds. At September 30, 2001, $7,704,469 remains unamortized. The annual
principal and interest payments are included in the disclosures for other City related long-

Brazos River Authority -Lake Alan Henry
During 1989, the City entered into an agreement with the Brazos River Authority (BRA) for the
construction, maintenance and operation of the facilities known as Lake Alan Henry. The BRA,
which is autholized by the State of Texas to provide for the conservation and development of surface
waters in the Brazos River Basin, has issued bonds for the construction of the dam and lake facilities
on the South Fork of the Double Mountains Fork of the Brazos River. Total costs are expected to
exceed $120 million.
The agreement obligates the City to provide revenues to BRA in a."Tlounts sufficient to cover all
maintenance and operating costs, management fees to the authority, as well as funds sufficient to pay
all capital costs associated with construction. The City will receive surface water for the payments to
BRA. Approximately $154,000 was paid to the BRA for maintenance and operating costs in fiscal
year 2001.
The BRA issued $16,970,000 in revenue bonds in 1989 and $39,685,000 in revenue bonds in 1991.
These bonds were refunded July 1995. Disclosure of the refunding can be found in Note III. K.
Construction of the dam and lake facilities began in 1989. The City is obligated to provide sufficient
funds over the remaining life of the bonds to service the debt requirement The financial activity,
along with the related obligation, is accounted for in the Water Enterprise Fund.
At September 30, 2001, certain mineral rights associated with land located in the Lake Alan Henry
site owned by individuals had not been acquired by the City. The additional amount needed to
purchase such mineral rights is yet to be determined.
H. OTHER ENTERPRISE FUND ACTMTIES
Enterprise Fund Transfers
Transfers to the General Fund from the Electric, Water, Solid Waste, and Sewer Enterprise Funds, in
the opinion of management, exceed the amount that would have been paid to the City if these funds
were private sector companies engaged in the same enterprises. In addition to the amount transferred
in excess of private sector taxes, there is also an amount transferred to compensate the General Fund
for shared services and indirect costs.

M. LANDFILL CLOSURE AND POSTCLOSURE CARE COST
State and fedenllaws and regulations require the Oty to place a final cover on its landfill sites 'Wbe.o. it
Stops accepting waste and to perform certain mainrenanao and moniroriug functions at the sites for thiny
years after closure. Although closure and postclosure can: costS will be paid only near or after the date
tim the landfill stops accepting waste, the Oty reportS a portion of these closure and postclosure costS as
an opening expense in each period based on landfill a~pacity used as of each balance sheet date.
The $5,973,851 included in the landfill closure and postclosure can: liability at September 30, 2001,
representS the cumulative amount expensed by the Oty to date of $8,603,429 less amounts paid for
closure of cen:ain cells based on the use of over 90 percent of the estimated a!pacity of the landfill
registered uncler TNRCX:: permit number 69. Any unrecognized costs of closure and postclosure care at
September 30, 2001, is not signifu:ant. These amounts are based on what it would cost to perform all
closure and postdosure care in 2001. The Oty expects to close this landfill withi.o. the DeXt 5 years.
Actual cost may be different due to inflation, deflation, changes in technology, or changes in regulations.
The Oty has a second landfill (I'NRCX:: permit number 2252} which effeaively began accepting solid
waste during fiscal 2000. Current closure and post·closure care costs have been estimar.ed to be
approximately $22,305,000, of which $149,042 has been recognized to date and $10,338 has been paid.
Approximately 1% of this landfill's a~paciry has been used and the Oty expects this landfill to have a life
in eJI:O'SS of 80 years based on current estimates of use. Actual cost may be different due to inflation,
deflation, changes in technology, or changes in regulations.

will be available to provide for closure, postclosure care, and remediation or comai.c.ment of
environmental hazards at its landfill The Oty is in compliance with these requirements and has
chosen the Local Government Financial Test mechanism for providing this assur:lllCA:. The Oty expects
to fmance costS through normal operations.

IN REGARD to the authorization and issuance of the "City of Lubbock, Texas, General
Obligation Bonds, Series 2002" (the "Bonds"), dated February 15, 2002 (the "Bond Date"), in the
principal amount of $9,400,000, we have examined into the legality and validity of the issuance
thereof by the City of Lubbock, Texas (the "City"), which Bonds are issuable in fully registered form
only, in denominations of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof {within a maturity ) and have
stated maturities of February 15 in each of the years 2003 through 2022, unless redeemed prior
to maturity in accordance with applicable redemption provisions. The Bonds bear interest on the
unpaid principal amount from the Bond Date at the rates per annum stated in the ordinance
authorizing their issuance {the "Ordinance"), and such interest is payable on February 15 and
August 15 in each year, commencing February 15,2003, to the registered owners shown on the
registration books of the Paying Agent/Registrar on the Record Date {stated on the face of the
Bonds).
WE HAVE SERVED AS BOND COUNSEL for the City solely to pass upon the legality and
validity of the issuance of the Bonds under the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas, and
with respect to the exclusion of the interest on the Bonds from gross income for federal income
tax purposes and none other. We have not been requested to investigate or verify, and have not
independently investigated or verified, any records, data or other material relating to the financial
condition or capabilities of the City. Our examinations into the legality and validity of the Bonds
included a review of the applicable and pertinent provisions of the Constitution and laws of the
State of Texas, a transcript of certified proceedings of the City relating to the authorization and
issuance of the Bonds, including the Ordinance, customary certifications and opinions of officials
of the City and other pertinent showings, and an examination of the Bond executed and delivered
initially by the City, which we found to be in due form and properly executed.
BASED ON OUR EXAMINATIONS, IT IS OUR OPINION that, under the applicable law of
the United States of America and the State of Texas in force and effect on the date hereof:
1. The Bonds have been duly authorized by the City, and the Bonds issued
in compliance with the provisions of the Ordinance are valid, legally binding and
enforceable obligations of the City, payable from the proceeds of an ad valorem
tax levied, within the limitations prescribed by law, upon all taxable property in the
City; except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be affected by
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or other similar laws affecting
creditors' rights or the exercise of judicial discretion in accordance with the general
principles of equity.
2. Assuming continuing compliance after the date hereof by the City with
the provisions of the Ordinance and in reliance upon representations and

certifications of the City made in a certificate of even date herewith pertaining to
the use, expenditure, and investment of the proceeds of the Bonds, interest on the
Bonds for federal income tax purposes (a) will be excludable from gross income,
as defined in section 61 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended to the
date hereof (the "Code"), of the owners thereof pursuant to section 103 of the
Code and existing regulations, published rulings, and court decisions thereunder,
and (b) will not be included in computing the alternative minimum taxable income
of individuals or, except as hereinafter described, corporations.
Interest on all tax-exempt obligations, such as the Bonds, owned by a corporation will be
included in such corporation's adjusted current earnings for purposes of calculating the alternative
minimum taxable income of such corporation, other than an S corporation, a qualified mutual fund,
a real estate mortgage investment conduit, a real estate investment trust or a financial asset
securitization investment trust. A corporation's alternative minimum taxable income is the basis
on which the alternative minimum tax imposed by the section 55 of the Code will be computed.
WE EXPRESS NO OPINION with respect to any other federal, state, or local tax
consequences under present law or any proposed legislation resulting from the receipt or accrual
of interest on, or the acquisition or disposition of, the Bonds. Ownership of tax-exempt obligations
such as the Bonds may result in collateral federal tax consequences to, among others, financial
institutions, life insurance companies, property and casualty insurance companies, certain foreign
corporations doing business in the United States, S corporations with subchapter C earnings and
profits, individual recipients of Social Security or Railroad Retirement Benefits, individuals
otherwise qualifying for the earned income tax credit, owners of an interest in a financial asset
securitization investment trust and taxpayers who may be deemed to have incurred or continued
indebtedness to purchase or carry, or who have paid or incurred certain expenses allocable to,
tax-exempt obligations.

insurance has caused the Bonds to be rated "AAA" by Standard & Poor's Corporation and "Aaa"
by Moody's Investors Services. Neither the Guarantor nor any person related to the Guarantor

of the Insured Bonds.

45145008.2
-6-
-
-
4. The Issuer reasonably expects that the Guarantor will not be called upon to make
a payment of principal of or interest on the Insured Bonds. The Guarantor is entitled to be
immediately and fully reimbursed for any payment of principal of or interest on the Insured
Bonds.
5. The Insurance Premium paid to the Guarantor represents a payment solely for
the transfer of credit risk for the payment of principal of and interest on the Insured Bonds and
not for any other direct or indirect services other than the transfer of credit risk. The Insurance
Premium does not exceed a reasonable, arm's length charge for the transfer of such credit risk.

and to computation periods in a manner that properly reflects the proportionate credit risk for
which the Guarantor has been compensated. ·
7. The Issuer has been advised by the Purchaser of the Bonds in the Issue Price
Certificate that the present value of Insurance Premium is less than the present value of the
interest saved as a result of insuring the Insured Bonds, using the yield on the Bonds as the
discount factor.
/. Yield and Nonpurpose Investments.
1. The discount factor required to reduce the principal and interest to be paid on the
Obligations to a present value on the date hereof, compounding semiannually, equal to the
initial offering prices at which a substantial amount of each maturity of the Obligations was sold
to the public, is 4.6538560%. In determining the initial offering price at which a substantial
amount of each maturity of the Obligations was sold to the public, the Issuer has relied on
certificates from the managing underwriter that purchased the Obligations.
2. No other obligations of the Issuer which are reasonably expected to be paid from
substantially the same source of funds as the Obligations were sold within 15 days from the
date the Obligations were.sold.
3. Except as otherwise provided in Section 148(f) of the Code, the Issuer will
account for proceeds of the Obligations separately from other funds of the Issuer and will
compute and pay to the United States Treasury the Rebate Amount due with respect to the
Obligations no less frequently than every five years, in the installments, to the place, in the
manner and accompanied by such forms or other information as is or may be required by
Section 148(f) of the Code and the regulations and rulings thereunder.
J. No Abusive Arbitrage Device.
1. In connection with the issuance of the Obligations, the Issuer has not employed
any action which has the effect of overburdening the market for tax-exempt obligations by
issuing more·bonds, issuing bonds earlier, or allowing bonds to remain outstanding longer than
is reasonably necessar-Y to accomplish the governmental purposes of the Obligations.
2. In connection with the issuance of the Obligations, the Issuer has not employed
any action which has the effect of enabling the Issuer t9 exploit the difference between tax-
exempt and taxable interest rates to gain a material financial advantage.

Texas (the "City") of the "City of Lubbock, Texas, Tax and Sewer System Surplus Revenue
Certificates of Obligation, Series 2002" (the "Certificates") in the aggregate principal amount of
$1,545,000, dated February 15, 2002, solely to express legal opinions as to the validity of the
Certificates and the exclusion of the interest on the Certificates from gross income for federal
income tax purposes, and for no other purpose. We have not been requested to investigate or
verify, and we neither expressly nor by implication render herein any opinion concerning, the
financial condition or capabilities of the City, the disclosure of any financial or statistical information
or data pertaining to the City and used in the sale of the Certificates, or the sufficiency of the
security for or the value or marketability of the Certificates.
THE CERTIFICATES are issuable in fully registered form only and in denominations of
$5,000 or any integral multiple thereof. The Certificates have stated maturities of February 15 in
each of the years 2003 through 2022, unless redeemed prior to maturity in accordance with the
redemption provisions stated on the Certificates. Interest accrues on the Certificates from their
date at the rates per annum stated in the ordinance adopted by the City Council of the City
authorizing the issuance of the Certificates (the "Ordinance"), and such accrued interest is payable
on February 15 and August 15 in each year, commencing February 15, 2003, to the registered

Re: $6,120,000 in aggregate principal amount of City of Lubbock, Texas General
Obligtaion Bonds, Series 2002, maturing on February 15 in the years 2013

Ladies and Gentlemen:
In connection with the issuance of the above-referenced obligations (the "Bonds"),
Financial Guaranty Insurance Company {"Financial Guaranty") is issuing a municipal
bond insurance policy securing the payment of principal and interest on the Bonds (the
"Insurance Policy").
This letter is to advise you that, as more fully set forth in the Insurance Policy, (i) the
Insurance Policy is an unconditional and recourse obligation of Financial Guaranty
(enforceable by or on behalf of the holder of the Bonds) to pay scheduled principal and
interest on the Bonds when due in the event of a failure to so pay by the City of Lubbock,
Texas {the "Issuer"); {ii) the insurance premium is a charge for the transfer of
substantially all ofthe credit risk for the payment of principal and interest on the Bonds;
{iii) except for payments under the Insurance Policy in the case of a failure to pay by the
Issuer, there is no obligation to pay any amount of principal or interest on the Bonds (A)
by Financial Guaranty, (B) by any person related to Financial Guaranty (within the
meaning of section 1.150-1 (b) of the Income Tax Regulations), {C) by any entity of which
Financial Guaranty owns more than ten percent (by fair market value) of its beneficial
ownership interests, or (D) by any entity which owns more than 10 percent (by fair
market value) of the beneficial ownership interests ofFinancial Guaranty; and {iv) except
for the premium paid to Financial Guaranty for the Insurance Policy, Financial Guaranty
{and any related party within the meaning of section 1.150-1 (b) of the Income Tax

Regulations) will not use any portion ofthe Bond proceeds. Further, Financial Guaranty
does not reasonably expect to make payments under the Insurance Policy other than under
a direct-pay letter of credit or similar arrangement for which Financial Guaranty will be
reimbursed immediately, and, in the event of any such payment, Financial Guaranty will
immediately become subrogated to the rights of the Bondholders to receive the full
amount of such payment. Financial Guaranty is reasonably assured (based on a binding
obligation of an entity with sufficient funds) that sufficient funds will be available to fully
retire the Bonds in the event the Issuer fails to pay scheduled principal and interest on the
Bonds when due.
In addition, this letter is to advise you that (i) the premium paid for the Insurance Policy
does not include any payment (A) for any direct or indirect services other than the transfer
of credit risk, (B) for the provision of additional services by Financial Guaranty, or (C)
for a cost, risk or other element that is not customarily borne by insurers of tax-exempt
bonds (in transactions in which the guarantor has no involvement other than as
guarantor); (ii) the premium paid includes the overhead costs ofFinancial Guaranty, such
fees paid by Financial Guaranty to maintain its ratings, and other costs that are taken into
account in the formulation of the rate structure; (iii) no portion of such premium is a
payment for costs of issuance on the Bonds (including rating agency fees, the cost of
underwriting or remarketing the Bonds, and the cost of insurance for casualty to Bond-
financed property), and, if the requirements of section 1.148-2( e )(2) of the Income Tax
Regulations (relating to temporary periods for capital projects) are not satisfied, Financial
Guaranty is reasonably assured that the Bonds will be repaid if the project to be financed
by the Bonds is not completed. Further, the Issuer is not entitled to a refund of any
portion of the premium for the Insurance Policy in the event a Bond is retired before its
final maturity date.
Very truly yours,
