BRIEF OVERVIEW OF SHACKELFORD'S REPORT
Building built in the late 1960's, 7500 square feet, primary
use at that time was an automotive warehouse.
District purchased present building in early 1984.
Approximately 1 1/2 (one and a half) years ago we had and
architect look over the building trying to determine every-
thing needed to repair numerous leaks in the roof. He had a
consultant take a look at the structural conditions. The
roof trusses were deemed inadequate to support the load on
it. To put additional material to prevent leaking would make
it less sturdy.
Three alternatives were considered:
1. Put a structure over the existing structure. We
could then take the `live load' off the existing
structure.
2. Take the roof off, replace the trusses and put the
roof back on. It was difficult to get a firm bid
or estimate on this procedure due to unknown
factors. This procedure would also require the
district to relocate temporarily during
construction.
3. To vacate present facilities and relocate somewhere
else.
September 1990 the board awarded contract to RGD Builders for
renovation of building using alternative #1. (The board
originally thought costs would be approximately 80,000. The
low bid came in at $121,000 - 122,000.)
The City of Georgetown will not allow renovation of the
building without taking care of the parking lot too. Their
permit is for approval only on everything being done.
Any structural chance must be approved by 3/4 (three /fourths)
of the voting entities. Some of the entities failed to act
either way. No action is considered a negative vote.
Current loan on WCAD building is approximately $166,000.
DATE: April 23, 1991
SUBJECT: City Council Meeting, April 25, 1991
ITEM: 9.A. Consider a resolution authorizing the
renovation of the Williamson County
District office building.
STAFF
RESOURCE PERSON: David Kautz
STAFF
RECOMMENDATION: Approve the project as proposed by the WCAD
Board of Directors
The Williamson County Appraisal District (WCAD) desires to renovate its
existing office building. The WCAD looked at a variety of options and
chose to build a shell over the existing building. There will be no
additional cost to the taxing entities. However, state law requires that
any appraisal district building structural changes be approved by 3/4
of the taxing entities which the appraisal district serves.
The Round Rock City Council has previously voted in favor of this
renovation. However, most taxing entities in the county failed to vote
either way (i.e. they did not respond) causing the Round Rock action to
lapse and the renovation project to be put on hold.
Dick Shackleford, a member of the WCAD Board of Directors, will be present
to answer any of the council's questions on this matter.

Subject: 1991 BudgLt Amendment and Building Project
Date: March 27, 1991
The Board of Directors for Williamson County Appraisal
District voted to accept the bid from RGD Builders for
renovating the office building, pending approval of three -
fourths (3/4) of the voting entities. A copy of the Boards'
resolution is enclosed. The building committee's report is
also enclosed stating the other options that were considered.
As a voting entity you have 30 days to act on this, by
resolution, and return to the appraisal district. A sample
resolution is enclosed for your convenience. We also would
like to have a representative from the appraisal district at
your meeting so that we can answer any questions that you
might have.
The Board of Directors intends to amend the 1991 budget by
$230,000 on May 9, 1991. The surplus from 1990 was $300,347
and these funds can be used for the project and the
difference refunded to the entities. If the whole $230,000
is not used in the renovation the balance will be applied to
our long term debt.
Attached is a brief history of the building's problems.
A list showing what your refund would be without the budget
amendment and what your portion of the budget amendment will
be, if approved, is enclosed. If the amendment passes, you
will be refunded the difference.

RESOLUTION
WHEREAS the Texas Property Tax Code, Section 6.051,

Appraisal District;
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED that on the date
shown below the BOARD OF DIRECTORS of the WILLIAMSON COUNTY
APPRAISAL DISTRICT has voted to approve the contract proposed
by RGD BUILDERS concerning the renovation of real property IN
THE AMOUNT OF $180,800 and heating and air conditioning

Signature of Chairman of the
Board
Recommendation from Building Committee:
Shackelford stated there is property available in the
area of $20 to $25 a square foot. A 10,000 square foot
building would run about $200,000 to $250,000 plus an
additional $10 to $20 a square foot to finish out.
There were two such properties in the Round Rock area.
Both of these are two story buildings which would need
to have elevators added to meet public access codes.
Moff had looked at some of the older buildings in
Georgetown. These would have some of the same problems
as our existing building, ie. structure problems and
roof leaks.
Moff stated the maximum we could probably get for our
building was $120,000 and minimum of $80,000. The
balance on the building note is approximately $166,000.
If anything suitable could be found to lease, the
estimated cost would be approximately $5,000 to $6,000
per month plus cost to finish out.
