AN 18 :
A. Qualifications & Experience
High Plains Research was created in 2005 by Tony Privett to provide
legislative and communications services to both public and private sector
organizations, in the local, state, & federal arenas.
Clients have included:
The City of Lubbock
Lubbock ISD
Lubbock County Hospital District
West Texas Home Builders Association The McDougal Companies
Lubbock Apartment Association Republic Services
Singenis Corporation Southwest Convenience Stores
Cirrus Wind I
High Plains Research is operated as a sole proprietorship, and draws on the many
partnerships built over the past 20 years.
Tony Privett will be the sole contact and provider of services to the City of
Lubbock.
LEGISLATIVE PHILOSOPHY
I take a collaborative approach in legislative matters.
The state and federal environments are much more politicized than most
municipal issues. Building of strong relationships that last beyond a single vote
are crucial to tong -term success.
I can give an example of my approach in a recent local issue.
The relationship between the Lubbock Fire Department and UMC EMS had
steadily deteriorated for many years.
My client, UMC, was concerned about this and asked for my help in resolving the
problems that were causing conflict in both organizations, and potentially
harming the services provided to citizens.
I used my contacts with City Management and the City Council to work out a
framework to resolve these issues.
The result was a new agreement that was acceptable to both parties, and a
commitment by both organizations to build a strong partnership going forward.
This is how I will work for the City: building relationships & reaching agreements.
EXAMPLES OF WORK TO ACQUIRE APPROPRIATIONS
Traffic Enforcement
I and my department worked closely with the City Traffic Engineer to help secure
several transportation federal funds, including the long-running Red for a Reason
campaign grants.
By developing a thorough local marketing and publicity campaign and securing
support from our Congressman, the City has been able to secure regular funding
for this program.
Lubbock Urban Gardens
created the Youth Services Department at the City, and we wrote and received
grants for more than $79,000 in 2002 for a program that paired at -risk children
with a gardening program in conjunction with the South Plains Food Bank.
The program has continued to this day.
Grants Training for City departments
In 2002, 1 brought in a grants training course for City staff. During the training
process, we identified six proposals and prepared them for submission, including
First Tee, Texas Parks & Wildlife Trails, Fiesta Plaza, Buckle your Baby and TxDOT
Safe Routes to Schools, and Lubbock City -County -Library "Access Lubbock." Some
j were funded, though I don't have dollar totals on all.
I acted as a writing coach and legislative advocate for all City departments that
asked for my assistance. City grants received in 2001— 2002 totaled more than
$19 Million dollars.
Homeland Security
While at the City of Lubbock, I put together a team to pursue funding for a major
federal appropriation for a regional rapid response team to be stationed at Reese
Center. The local players included all area law enforcement, emergency
management, research, and health care providers.
I left the City before this project came to fruition. While the federal government
did not elect to put together a major resource like this in Lubbock, it showed
FEMA, TSA, and other federal agencies that Lubbock was serious about Homeland
Security and we have received numerous related grants in the past ten years.
TxDOT Historic Redevelopment Grant
I wrote and successfully advocated for grants for the City of Slaton that resulted in
more than $1 million in grants to restore the former Santa Fe Railroad "Harvey
House" in Slaton.
U.S. Economic Development Administration Grant
=' I wrote and successfully advocated for a grant that brought more than $600,000
to the Slaton Harvey House project to develop rural economic development
projects such as a diner, museum, and bed & breakfast inn.

METHODOLOGY FOR THE CITY OF LUBBOCK LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM
A successful legislative program involves five major areas:
1. Building relationships with elected officials, staff, and agency personnel
2. Identifying needs specific to the organization
3. Working with advocacy groups
4. Monitoring the legislative process
5. Rapid response to legislative threats and opportunities
1
My relationships with local, state, and federal elected officials has been built over
the past twenty years. This extends to strong working relationships with their
staff, and key agency staff.
I will also work to establish and improve working relationships with City elected
officials and senior staff with the appropriate officials.
2
The identification of legislative needs should be an ongoing process for City staff.
If this is not currently being done, I will work with City management to instill this
process, so that legislative issues can be addressed. This could mean that we seek
the support of the Texas Municipal League, or to move legislation separately.
In all cases, we will work with our local delegation to seek their input and support.
We may ask them to carry our bills, write letters of support for our grant
requests, or carry amendments to other bills.
All of these decisions require a thorough understanding of the process, the
political environment, the members involved; and strong organizational
coordination.
I will be available to meet as necessary to evaluate proposed legislation and
funding opportunities, and to assist in prioritizing our needs and agenda.
3
The Texas Municipal League is a strong voice for cities, and I would encourage as
many of our Council members and staff be involved with TML as much as
possible.
Because of the nature of TML's work, they are often at odds with other industry
lobbies.
That is why it is important for Lubbock to have an adviser who has contacts with
other key advocacy groups. Many bills that TML carries are reflexively opposed.
I will always work to find common ground where possible, and to seek support for
the City's needs from all advocacy groups possible.
4
1 will provide year-round monitoring of the legislative process, attend hearings as
appropriate, and will keep City staff and Council informed as to threats and
opportunities.
5
Under the City's direction, I will handle the movement of the approved legislative
package, grants requests, and keep the City updated throughout.
I will advise and schedule legislative meetings and testimony as appropriate for
Council.
I will provide reporting as the City desires. Monthly reporting should be sufficient
when the Legislature is not meeting, and weekly during the Session.
