significant affect on the water pressure. (2) What will be done with Logan Street?

he felt the
P & Z had not done a good
job in the

care of our
own and not annex more. I
think until

fool -hardy
to annex any more land.

Sadler stated that the only way to have more tax dollars is to annex
and bring
more taxes in. Richard Wells

the property is already owned

accidents.

Commerce asked the Council if they had budgeted any funds for the

Griffith, Councilman Bill Kitts, Councilman Tom Lopez, Councilman Steve
Pena, Councilman Larry Tann and Councilman Don Willson. Also present,

PUBLIC HEARINTS: A public hearing to consider' citizen testimony
concerning the proposed budget for the City of Round Rock for the fiscal
year Octob r 1, 1977 through September 30, 1978. Clarence Born asked
September 22, 19T7:",
if the refurbishing of the Library included a PA system. Mayor Litton
explained that the exact items had not been finalized but that a PA
system, he felt, would be one of the top priority items. Born said that
he would like to see this be one of the first things incorporated in the
budget. Mr. Born also stated that auxiliary power at the sewer and water
plants should be considered. Emergency generators are available through
the Civil Defense office. The cost to the City would be mostly trans-
portation charges. Possibile amount to the City would be $300.00.
Councilman Kitts stated that he felt that $27,900 could be cut out
of the Planning Department budget and left in the water fund for the
purchase of a backhoe and possibily an in-line water pump. Councilman
Kitts suggested deleting Planner II at $12,000.00, the Engineering
Retainer at$4,200.00, and the Engineering Technician at 11,700.00. Kitts
stated that the Planning Department was doing very well at this time and
that he believed that they could keep this up with these delections Bob
Bennett suggested that Planner I rather than II be deleted because he
felt a good planner I could be obtained at the $10,000 figure set out in
the budget. Steve Carter of Round Rock West IV stated that he did not
understand the philosophy behind cutting the Planning Department, He
stated that this is the time when we really need planning and if not
done properly now the growth will be out of hand for the rest of the
City's life. Carter stated, "Let's dontt rob Peter to pay Paul." Kitts
stated that the Council would not be "robbing Peter to pay Paul" but
that the Council would simply be leaving the funds where they belong
to make necessary improvements now for future growth. The present
growth has put an increased burden on the water fund and therefore a
balance needs to be determined to allivate some of the problems.
Hislop stated that he felt that the Engineer Technician position needed
to stay in the budget as it is an established position and would be very
difficult to cut the duties that that position acommodates. Mayor
Litton suggested taking out the Planner I and the Engineering Retainer.
Councilman Kitts said that he could go along with that if the Council
could pick up a little more money in another area. Councilman Kitts
suggested taking $4,000 out the Comprehensive Plan Revision leaving
$6,000 in the budget. Councilman Wilson suggested that his portion of
the Mayor and Council Expense be put into street signs but that he would
leave the decision up to the rest of the Council. Hislop asked that under
the Finance Department, Bookkeeper II be raised to $9,600, Bookkeeeper"I
;u. September Z2, 1977
to $7,800 a month and that the Director be deleted,. Councilman Pena
stated1thaL he did not feel a Director was needed at this time but that
enough mon y should be left in the budget for 3 months worth of salary
so the Dir c'tor can come aboard and set everything set up for an accrual
accounting system to go in effect October 1, 1978 as stated in the
Home Rule barter. This would mean leaving $3,600 in the Director's
slot.
'Cou'cilman Griffith asked about the plans for the widening of
620 and th� r .
I� purchase of ROW by the City. Discussion was refered to a
work session'.

read ordinance #220. He then stated that the City lost 14,000,000
gallons of unbilled water in the month of October. Waterline breaks
will account for some of the lost billing but not all of it. The
average daily pumpage is 1,464,032 whereas the average daily billing
is 1,010,884. So far the service men have discovered over 90 covered
meters and 'numerous houses hooked directly into the water system with
no water meter.' Councilman Kitts asked about the replacement cost of
a water meter. Samuelson stated at least $25.00. Councilman Pena
stated he felt it advisable to up the 5% penalty to 10%.' Councilman
Kitts moved to authorize the City Manager and City Attorney to revise
Ordinance #220 to reflect a 10% past due penalty plus a $25. meter

replacement fee and a 5:00 p.m. cut off time for re -connection after
a past due bill is paid. Councilman Griffith seconded the motion.
Samuelson stated that some administrative discreation will be used to
adequately draft the ordinance, Jean Loving stated that possibly
a clause could be incorporated to handle extended vacation periods in
the past due penalty ordinance. Councilman Lopez said he did not
feel the ordinance amendments were fair to the older set income
citizens.

PUBLIC HEARINGS:'; A public hearing to consider citizen testi-
mony regarding annexation of
(a)' 14 acres out of the Asa Thomas Survey. (Leigh Motor
Co area)
(b)' 6.25 acres out of the Wiley Harris Survey. (bloodstone
area)
(c)' 68.161 acres out of the 'David Curry Survey. (U.S. 81 strip)
(d)' 5.9 acres ;out of the Wiley Harris and Jacob Harrell
Survev. (Traveler's Inn 'and ;Hunt's Station)
Bob Bennett gave the following information to the 'Council. The
Leigh Motor Company area will bring in about $1,445.77 in tax revenues.
The Woodstone area will bring in about $1;;000 whereas the 81 strip will
bring in somewhere around $2,000. Travelers Inn and Hunt's Station
will bring lin about $2,181.69 in tax revenues. This means that about
$751,400 assessed value will be added to the tax roll. Bennett
expressed that $751,400 is a very conservative estimate on the
94.31 acres that are slated to be annexed, Councilman Wilson asked
if the figures stated include sales tax 'figures. Bennett stated they
included only real and personal' property taxes. Bennett explained that
his estimates were acquired through the RRISD Tax office. Since these
areas are in the school district and 'the ,land has been assessed by them
the estimates are fairly accurate.
Mayor Pro -tem Griffith questioned the zoning of the annexed areas.
Bennett explained that any land annexed comes into the City as R-1
according to our existing zoning ordinance. There would be a two
month process to get the zoning' changed 'to the existing use before the
land was annexed.' Councilman Wilson stated', that the City has the
power to authorize a zoning change and this would',alie:viate:some
problems and save the ,property owners some money. Bennett stated
he would check with Dick Ingram and get a !firm opinion on the
alternatives. Councilman Kitts stated that he felt a prime area to
annex would be Old Town and Old Town Meadows. This area should have
received prime consideration but did not get it. Kitts stated his
concern over annexing vacant land rather than developed tax producing
areas. Bennett' stated' that there will still be enough acreage left
to take in Old Town once the city limits become contiguous to the
Youngquist,property.
Mayor Pro -tem Griffith asked what Bennett had in mind as a
planner for 1978. Bennett staged to annex the Old Town area and cover
the City's eastern flank. He also stated that he would like to sit
down with the Council in work session to work out the strategy the
Council wants to follow after the 4;proposed areas are annexed.
Councilman Wilson asked about the motel occupancy tax. Mayor

Pro -tem Griffith explained that it does not look feasible at this time.
Mayor Pro -tem Griffith asked if it was the consensus of the Council
to have Sheets and Bennett draw up the necessary ordinances and set
up a special called meeting for December 13, 1977 at 7:00 p.m. to
act upon those ordinances. All councilmen were in agreement.
Bennett expressed his appreciation to Don Quick and Haynie &
Kallman, Inc. for all their help in gathering the necessary information
for the annexations.
No further business the meeting adjourned at 7:55 p.m.

WORK SESSION: The Mayor and City Council will meet in a work
session to consider a report from Curtis Adrian on the forthcoming
Bond Sale. Curtis Adrian explained to the Council that the initial
amount of the December 19th bond sale was based on the audit report
ending September 30, 1977 and that according to the first bond ordinance
passed in 1964 all fiscal years henceforth, dealing with bonds, shall
commence the 1st day of February and end the 31st day of January the
next calendar year. Therefore, the City will be able to sell only
$1,150,000 worth of bonds on December 19th and as many additional bonds
as the City can after January 31, 1978. This will not slow up or hamper
the CIP in any way. In fact by selling twice the City will be saving
a considerable amount of money. The second sale after January 31st
should be for approximately $700,000.
Griffith asked Steve Kallman if the total sale of $1,800,000
would be in line with the proposed CIP. Kallman stated that he could
,foresee no problems.
Adrian stated that the Council could sell Junior Lend bonds
but that the sale of these bonds would tie the Council down to selling
this type of bond until all the present bonds are paid off. Griffith
stated that the Council is not considering the sale of Junior Lend
bonds.
Samuelson reiterated that the City will still be able to meet the
May deadline for project completion and still save the City numbers
of dollars in interest by selling some of the bonds in December and
some as soon after January 31st as possible.

mous recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission. A slide

in the flood plain. Bennett stated that he feels these office -warehouses
are one of the better uses for the area.

Councilman Tonn gave the following recommendations to the Council
from the Airport Committee:
Recommendation:
1. The City Council direct the City Manager to contact
engineering firms requesting proposals and cost data concerning
the completion of the Air Transportation facilities portion of
the City Master Plan.
Reasons:
Southwest Williamson County will continue to need access to
air transportation facilities in the future.
Existing facilities will be at capacity utilization within
eight years.
''"December 22, 1977
Recommendation:
2. The City Council select an engineering firm to make applica-
tion to the FAA for funding of the Air Transportation Study on a
contingency fee agreement in order that the City not be required
to spend any monies until the total cost is known.
Reasons:
The FAA has offered to fund up to 90% of the cost of completing
this portion of the City Master Plan, but FAA funds would not be
available until late in 1978.
Until application is made to FAA, we can not assertain the
exact costto Round Rock of completing this portion�of the
City Master Plan.
Councilman Tonn informed the Council that he would acquire a copy of a
study done for the City of Austin and pass it on to the rest of the
Council. Bennett',stated that the Airport Master Plan fits in beautifully
with the General Plan.
CouncilmanKitts proposed that the City of Round Rock purchase the
Koontz property for $225,000. This could be done through a community
effort and not:just through City funds. The efforts could be coordinated
through the parks department. It was the consensus of the Council to
have the Parks Director proceed and come up with some typeof program to
implement thisacquisition.
CITY MANAGER'S REPORT: Samuelson stated that the City had received
a Certificate of Convenience and Necessity to provide water and sewer
utility service from the P.U.C.

6. June 30, 1978 --Construction completed.

620 ROW purchase from the original amount of $68,060.
The audit report in regard to the bond sale was presented.
The project cost to pave and provide sewer to the Bellview Addition

study the proposed sign ordinance prepared by the City staff and approved
by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Mayor Litton appointed Councilman
Lopez, Councilman Kitts, and Councilman Pena to the Sub -committee to study
the proposed sign ordinance prepared by the City staff.
PUBLIC HEARINGS: Consider citizen testimony concerning the annexation
of Old Town. L. J. Robinson was the first citizen to appear before the
Council. Mr. Robinson stated that he has no objections to the annexation
but did have several questions. Robinson's questions dealt with the City's
current contract with Lone Star Gas Company, how the Old Town area would
be brought in as far as zoning is concerned, whether or not a resident of
Old Town can be a candidate in the upcoming April City Council elections
and how stringent the City intended on being concerning the life-style of
the people in Old Town. Robinson also stated his support in the proposition
of preserving the round rock and the adjacent areas. Mr. L. E. Scott,
part-owner of the round rock, appeared before the Council to voice his
objection to the Council trying to purchase the rock for any purpose.
Mike Robinson, Old Town resident, questioned the Council as to whether
voluntary or involuntary annexation would hender or help the Old Town
residents in getting things done in Old Town that would be necessary to
preserve the area. Mayor Litton assured Mr. Robinson that if and when
Old Town is annexed the residents will be as much a part of Round Rock
as the people that live presently inside the City Limits. Chris Perez
1212 Chisholm Trail, questioned the Council as to what type of improvements
will be made to the Old Town area if annexed. Mayor Litton informed the
audience that general maintenance will begin when the area is annexed.
This maintenance includes police protection, fire protection, the upgrading
and overall operations of street, water and sewage. Annexation will be
no sooner than 10 days and no more than 20 days from the date of this
public hearing. John Whitt of Ray Ellison Homes had several questions for
the Council that he had been requested to ask by the homeowners in Old
Town Me ' adows area. Whitt questioned the Council as to the status of the
railroad crossing on Sam Bass Road, whether Old Town residents would be
allowed to keep livestock presently owned, maintenance of the streets,
garbage pick-up schedule, and the taxing situation involved in being annexed.
James Samuelson stated that the City of Round Rock at the end of 1979 would
net approximately $57,313.00 by the annexation of Old Town. This figure
includes sales tax revenue, building permit revenue, property tax revenue,
less revenue lost from the water and sewer departments. Samuelson stated
that the annexation of Old Town would assure the citizens of that area
the continued designation and protection of historic structures, afford
protection to one of the two slave cemetary sites in the entire State of
Texas, extend police protection with the current forces that the City now
January 12, 1978
has, twice week garbage collections and provide a base for a rather large
grant application to be made in order to 'help the City preserve and develop
the Old Town area. L. J. Robinson asked the Council to postpone decision
on annexation of Old Town for 60 days. Mr. Robinson said this would serve
as a softening factor for the people involved and that 'the City staff would
get more cooperation by doing this. Gary; Robinson, resident of Old Town
Meadows stated, that the people he had talked to in the area felt that the
difference in the utility rates and police protection was enough to assure
annexation of the area. No further discussion.' Public Hearing Closed.
RESOLUTIONS AND PROCLAMATIONS: Consider a''res,olution authorizing
the motto "Growing Great in '78" for the City of Round Rock. Mayor Litton
read the resolution. Councilman Wilson moved to adopt the resolution.

of the City, through various organizations or clubs, participate in their
government, by ,asking them', in the coming years early enough so that it

competition and impartial judging, to compile and select the motto for
your consideration.' The Council; agreed that this was a good suggestion.,

be hooked up to a nationwide network of police departments. The police
department anticipates a use of approximately 7,000 messages a month.
Delivery on the equipment would take', approximately 18 months. Chief
Collier indicated this system would be a great value to the police department
at a small initial cost to the City.

Councilman Lopez recommended that an amendment tothe ordinance be made.
That amendment being that notification of the user that his water would
be disconnected, also that the 10% penalty be struck and adjusted to 5%;
also that the last sentence under Part D. Bills. Section II be struck.
That sentence reading; "a like penalty shall be assessed each 30 days
period that the bill continues to be past due."' Clarence Born of 1405
Dragon Drive in Round Rock West suggested that the Council give a 2 -week
grace period from the date the bills are mailed out rather than setting a
specific date of the 15th for a past due bill. Councilman. Kitts moved to
approve the ordinance with the added' amendment of Section 4, to strike

exactly they wanted 'in the ordinance. Councilman Kitts stated that he
wanted an ordinance making it illegal to have a', street sign or City property
in someone's possession. Sheets stated that 'if''it was theft the Council
was addressing that the State statute would cover this and therefore no
ordinance would be necessary. The Council was in agreement that they
were eluding to the possession of a'street signor City property by an
unauthorized person other than a City employee. Sheets will bring back'
a proposed ordinance at,the next meeting.'

The Council set a work session for Tuesday, January 24, 1978 at 7:00 in
Council chambers.
Consider a report from the City Attorney regarding regulation of
the display of potentially obscene material. In a report given by City
Attorney Steve Sheets,,he stated that the Texas Penal Code does prohibit
the display, sale and transaction of obscene material. He also stated
that, in his opinion, if the State prohibits obscenity or the sale of
obscene literature and provides a penalty of a third degree felony or
Class D misdemeanor the City would be prohibited from passing an ordinance
on the same subject matter. He, also, stated that any attempt by the
City Council to further regulate, on top of what it already had, would
result or could result in the ordinance being declared void and not
enforceable by the State. Sheets explained to the audience and Council
that he felt basically that the County and District Courts and Attorneys
would be more equipped to handle this situation for the City than for the
City Council to pass an ordinance to that effect. Concerned citizens
Nelda Click and Joe Bagby requested that the City Council take necessary
steps that are needed to see that something is done to resolve the situation.
It was the consensus of theCity Council that the Mayor should contact
parties displaying the obscene material and ask that a screen to cover the
material be put up or that material be put under the counter.
Consider authorizing the City staff to jointly work with appointees
of the RRISD in pursuing the construction of the civitorium. Councilman

CITY MANAGER'S REPORT,: The new police uniforms were shown to the
Council and audience by members of the police department.' The old
municipal swimming pool.property_will go to bid January 19, 1978.
Bids will be opened February 3rd, and the acceptance or rejection of the
bids will be at the regular City Council Meeting on February 9th.
City staff was able to account for all the gallons pumped during this
last billing period! Delinquent water bills continue to be collected.
As of January 1, 90 day account outstanding amount was $8,092.00, 60
day accounts $3,568!00, 30 day accounts $10,610,.00. The staff anticipates
collecting probably 75% of that in the month of January. An organization
meeting of the,Library Board was held Tuesday, January 10, 1978 at
5:30 p.m, in the Library. Hank Hester was elected chairman of the group
and Nell Burkland was elected secretary. Those members whose term expires
January 1, 1979 include Mary Wright,'Genelle Beck and Delfino Bryan.
Those whose terms will expire January 1,;1980 are Raymond'Sellstrom,
Nell Burkla.nd, Hank Hester and Joe Lee Johnson. Regular meetins of the
group will be held on the second Tuesday of the month at 5:45 p.m. in
the Library Meeting Room. Meeting will be pouted and minutes will be
available to the Council in their council packets on the 4th Thursday
of the month. The Library's annual report for 1977 was presented to the
Council for their perusal. A letter from Mr! Robert Lloyd, of the law
offices of Booth, Lloy& and Simmons was read 'to'the Council. Mr. Lloyd
indicated that he will procurea permit for the City of Round Rock from
the LCRA for approximately 20 million gallons of water per day from Lake
Travis. Total cost 'for the contract is estimated to be $10,000.00 plus the
actual expenses and filing fees. This project will be broken into two
parts. The first part will be the negotiation with LCRA for the purchase
of the ultimate water supply of approximately 20 million gallons per day.
After the contract is executed it would be necessary to obtain a permit
based on the contract to take water from Lake Travis and a permit which
would authorize an inter -water shift transfer from the Colorado Basin to the
Brazos Basin. Samuelson stated that this item would be placed on the
next Council agenda
January 12, 1978
Director of Parks and Recreation, Mario Seminara, made a formal
presentation to the Council as to the lay -out and schedule for the Round
Rock West Park. Bids will be opened February 8th. The Council will then
award bids on February 9th, construction should begin March 2nd with
a period of approximately 120 days. That means that completion time of the
park project would be the end of June. Hopefully, the park can be in
operation by the first of July.
Samuelson gave a progress report on the CIP, Chaney Construction
Company has been operating under Contract No. 2 on the waterline improve-
ments. They have begun locating the water lines and making wet connections.
They are also stockpiling pipe on lines 3 & 4. Gary Brooks Ditching has
started excavating the proposed lift station site for extension of the
18 -inch sewer line and 12 -inch force main. The engineers have staked the
ground storage tank and Bulldog Construction Company will begin excavating
for footings Friday, January 13, 1978. More discussion was held at this
point on the due dates of the water bills. Samuelson stated that the
staff has under consideration certain proposals that will be brought back
to the Council that should remedy the situation. Discussion was held on
an easement going through Travis Johnson's property. Stakes had been
put up without Mr. Johnson being notified and he was concerned as to the
reason for this.
CITIZENS COMMUNICATIONS: Tom Gologosi, representing the Mesa Village
Homeowner's Association, said that he would like to present the Council
with a petition signed by some 90 members of the homeowner's group
stating their objection to variances that had been granted in Greenhill
Section 2.

NEW BUSINESS: Consider a report from the City Manager concerning the
water supply from Lake Travis and authorize the City Manager to enter into
a contract negotiations with Booth, Lloyd & Simmons for the purchase
of the water. Samuelson stated that he would recommend that the Council
pursue the permit acquisition with all haste. And that he be allowed to
enter into the contract negotiations with Booth, Lloyd & Simmons for the
purchase of water from LCRA to be extracted from Lake Travis. Samuelson
stated that the fee could possibly be paid from the uncommitted water
funds for this year. He also stated that it would be approximately 60 to
90 days at a minimum before negotiations would commence. Mr. Lloyd's
fee would be broken into two parts, the first $5,000 would be preparation
fee, the second $5,000 would be the actual meetings and trying to obtain
the permit. If a permit is not obtained the City would not stand liable
for the second $5,000. Councilman Tonn stated that he felt the City should
contact LCRA Board members and ascertain their feelings as to whether they
feel they have surplus in the Colorado River Basin rather than entering
into an agreement with Booth, Lloyd & Simmons at this particular time.
Councilman Griffith moved to authorize the City Manager to enter into
an agreement with Booth, Lloyd & Simmons to negotiate with LCRA to get
water for the City of Round Rock. Motion was seconded by Councilman Pena.
Councilman Tonn questioned the legality of the City Manager entering into
this type of agreement. Mayor Litton checked the City Charter and said
that in his opinion that the City Manager did have this authority if so
stated by the Council,

The election for County Judge will be conducted in May.
Williamson County is growing rapidly and the services supplied
by the county government need to be modernized. In addition,
the county should provide more services. The citizens of
Williamson County need a County Judge who will represent them on
the Commissioner's Court, on the County Court, and before the
legislature in Austin. In short, we need a Judge who is interested
in the future of the county, and who will enthusiastically work
with city officials to insure that needed services are supplied
to all of Williamson County. As County Judge, I will work
to represent all of the people in Williamson County.
During my service on the City Council, I have appreciated the
confidence that you and the citizens of Round Rock have had in
me. I look forward to representing you as the Williamson County
Judge.
Sincerely yours,
Don Wilson

Griffith, Councilman Bill Kitts, Councilman Steve Pena, Councilman
Larry Tonn, Councilman Don Wilson. Absent: Councilman Tom Lopez.
Also present: City Manager James Samuelson and City Attorney Steve
Sheets.
OLD BUSINESS: Consider authorizing the Mayor to enter into a
water supply contract between Brazos River Authority and the City of
Round Rock for 6,000,000 gallons of water per day. Mayor Litton, Mayor
Pro -tem Griffith and City Manager Samuelson journeyed to Waco, Monday,
February 27, 1978 to discuss *a water supply contract between BRA and
the City of Round Rock. Samuelson stated that Round Rock, could
receive 6,000,000 gallons of water per day from the North Fork
Reservoir at 18(, per thousand. The City would be able to begin pur-
chase in 1979 but it would be 1990 before the requirement to take the
full 6,000,000 gallons per day would have to be met. BRA has also
told Georgetown they could receive 6,000,000 gallons per day. That
would mean that Georgetown and Round Rock would have full water rights
to the entire reservoir. Councilman Griffith stated that he would
have liked for Councilman Lopez to be present since this situation
was re-initiated by him at the last meeting. Councilman Griffith
then moved to authorize the Mayor to enter into a water supply con-
tract between BRA and the City of Round Rock to acquire 6,000,000
gallons of water per day from the North Fork Reservoir. Councilman
Kitts seconded the motion.

CITIZENS COMMUNICATIONS: Clarence Born questioned why the
Council would consider purchasing 6,000,000 gallons of water from BRA
when a contract had been entered into with'Booth, Lloyd and Simmons
to negotiate a contract for the procurement of 20,000,000 gallons of
water per day from the LORA. Councilman Wilson explained that the
Council was pursuing every available avenue for a water supply for
the future. The City would rather be in the position to be able to
March 2, 1978
sell water, if necessary, to water districts rather than the City
negotiate with them for the purchase of wa er.
John Gordon asked that the Council cojnsider an assistant for
the ParksDirector, put water taps in the ,parks and allow for grass;
seed money for the newly', developed parks.
Councilman Wilson stated that he had1been approached about a
loading zone space on the east 'side of Kelley Cleaners. Mayor
Litton turned the matter over to the City Manager to checkthe
feasibility and bring ;a report back.
Clyde Ashly appeared before the Council' concerning' the unmarked
railroad crossing under IH 35 and McNeil Road. Samuelson stated
that an in-house plan had been developed and a solution was definitel3
in sight.

CITY MANAGEV S'REPORT: Samuelson state. that Clarence Born and Claude
Berkman had consented`to be the Election Judge and Alternate Judge respective-
ly, at the April;l, 1978 election.
Samuelson read the following portion ofa'letter written to Carson
Hoage of BRA pointing out changes the City would like to incorporate in
the proposed contract:
j
j
March V, iV/8
This contract is performable in Williamson County,
Texas, and for venue purposes, any action brought
under the terms of this contract will be brought
in Williamson County, Texas.
The interest and rights held by Round Rock under
the terms of this contract are fully assignable
without the prior consent of the authority.
In addition, the thought has crossed my mind to the amount for the cost of
the water for 1,000 gallons. The figure 18� seems to be an open-ended
figure, that is to say from the contract verbage it could be higher. A
higher price was not considered by our Council at the time the authori-
zation was given to the Mayor to enter into the contract. In view of
this I would recommend that the phrase "not to exceed" be utilized in
conjunction with the specified city cost.
Samuelson stated that the net interest, as of March 9, 1978, from the
Bond money was $3,229.00. The City has on deposit as of this date
$777,185.34. April anticipated interest should be $6,061.92.
25,899,000 gallons of water was pumped in the month of February and
all gallons were accounted for.
All delinquent water accounts have been contacted and all have paid
or made arrangements to pay.
Chief of Police Gene Collier, Tim Haynie and Steve Kallman, City
Engineers, Bob Bennett, Director of Community Development and Mario
Seminara, Director of Parks and Recreation each gave a recap of their
respective departments.
Councilman Kitts asked that a report be ascertained concerning the
light at the intersection of 79 & 81. Bennett stated he would check
into it, Councilman Pena requested that the traffic situation in Dove
Creek be looked into.
CITIZENS COMMUNICATIONS: Tom Gologasi, Mesa Village Homeowner's
Association, brought the following four items to discuss with the Council.
(1) Is there an ordinance prohibiting motorcycles in City Parks?
Yes, Ordinance No, 258.
(2) Some of the street lights in Mesa Village are out of sequence and
need to be adjusted,
(3) The drainage ditch between Mesa Village and Egger Acres has
presented problems. Samuelson stated that the staff would
work with the homeowner's in any way to help the situation.
(4) The trucks are starting to drift back through the subdivision and
tear down more streets. Councilman Kitts suggested that a possible
solution could be that periodic reminders be sent to subdividers
and builders and have them remind their drivers to refrain from
going through Mesa Village.
Marge Welburn, Round Rock West, Section 5, asked about the water being
off during the electrical black -out,
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 10:05 p.m.

March 30, 1978
Honorable Mayor Ray Litton
and Members of the City Council
City of Round Rock
Round Rock, Texas 78664
RE: Bids for an in-house computer system
Gentlemen:
Bids for an in-house computer system were opened at 10:00 A,M,,
Friday, March 24, with three companies bidding, These companies are
Burroughs Corporation, Computer Application Specialists, and NCR,
All bids were completely broken down in a comparative analysis
with consideration being given to alternate proposals also submitted
with the bids.
Based upon our extensive review and comparison of all bids, we
determined that Burroughs is the low bidder by $175.90 with a total
purchase price of $55,989.10 (and approximately $38.00 per month
lower on a lease/purchase plan),
It is, therefore, my recommendation that the bid be awarded to
Burroughs Corporation.
JGS: f t
Respectfully submitted,
James G. Samuelson, Jr.

Samuelson stated that all bids met or exceeded the specs. Councilman
Lopez moved to accept the Burroughs bid. Councilman Pena seconded the

OLD BUSINESS: Mayor Litton read the following letter from Bill
Burgan, Chairman, Planning & Zoning Commission:
April 12, 1978
The Honorable Raymond M. Litton
214 East Main Street
Round Rock, Texas 78664
Dear Mr. Litton:
On January 12, 1978, a subcommittee of the City Council was appointed to
study proposed zoning ordinance sign standards developed by the Planning
Department and the Planning and Zoning Commission after several months
of study. The subcommittee has now had over three months to consider
the proposed standards.
Signs are an important aspect of business advertising; sign standards help
maintain the attractive appearance of a community and help ensure equity
among advertisers. The existing sign standards are inadequate. They
promote inequity and handicap the city staff, this Commission, and the
Board of Adjustment in carrying out their respective duties.
The Planning and Zoning Commission urges the City Council to take prompt
action on the proposed zoning ordinance sign standards.
Sincerely,
s/William F. Burgan

We further agree to voluntary annexation of this parcel of land

and/or you determine that annexation is appropriate. We believe that we
can provide the City of Round Rock with an attractive and welcome
addition to your fair city.
We believe that our agreement to provide the 2820 feet of water

consideration of this request.

CITIZENS COMMUNICATIONS: John Gordon, Mesa Village Homeowner's President
appeared before the Council to address the cooperation that he received during
the period that the Mesa Village petition to reconsider Ordinance #406 was
being circulated. He stated that staff and Council actions were completely
professional and he found no problems. He asked that the Council address the
total number of apartment or duplex units that the City should have. He
stated a good figure to start with would be 1/4 to 1/3 the number of apart-
ments per number of homes.
Marge Wellman, newly elected President of the Round Rock West 6A
Homeowner's Association, asked that the City Secretary begin mailing
Council and Planning and Zoning agendas to her residence. She asked that
the two pocket parks on St. William Loop and Deepwood be cleared, leveled
and kept up. Samuelson stated that the project would be completed by May

be considered as a park site and be cleared and maintained. Wellman stated
that the majority of the homeowners do not want the easement used as a
thoroughfare. Bob Bennett, Planning Director, explained that the easement
is in the thoroughfare plan as an alternative. Some concern was expressed
in that the road in Section 6B was being put in before the plat was approved.
Also, not enough room is being left on the north side of the road for the
proposed hike and bike trail and the bluff in Section 6B. This will be
checked by the proper staff and clarified.

misunderstanding concerning the proposed park,

OLD BUSINESS: Consider settlement offer from Michael Bennett
on the 620 ROW purchase. The letter listed below was received from
Terrance Kendall, attorney for Michael Bennett.
April 19, 1978
Mr. Stephen Sheets
Grimes & Sheets
109 W. Taylor Highway
Round Rock, TX 78664
Dear Mr. Sheets:
As you are aware, this firm represents Michael E. Bennett and Mary
Anneliese Bennett, who are the owners of certain land which is the
subject of eminent domain proceedings initiated by the City of
Round Rock and State of Texas, being cause number 78-020-C. As
April 27, 1978;
you are further aware,, the Special Commissioners awarded damages
in the sura of $30,000.00, and we have filed our objections to that
award.
Protracted litigation in this ease would not 'appear tolbe in'tie
best interests of,anyone, and we would therefore make the foll wing
settlement offer, !which we; request be submitted to theiCity Co ncil:
my clients are willing to withdraw their objections tolthe award,
and to deed over to the City the 1.282 acres of land ii questi n,
in returnfor payn.entto them of the $30,000.00 awarded by the
Commissioners, provided that the City agrees to extend water and
sewer lines to the tract of land outlined in red on exhibit "A'
hereto at:no expense to my clients, and within one hundred eighty
days ;
We believe that the damages occasioned by the proposedtaking; re
far in excess of this offer, and would therefore reiterate that
this is an offer made' in hopes of reaching an amicable settlement.
Finally, l request that I be notified in advance of an counci
meeting at which this offer might be discussed, in order that
might answer any questions that might arise.
i
Very truly yours, I
s/Terrence Kendall

Question was raised concerning the design capacity referred to in Section
II. Mills explained that the designed capacity was his 520 units in Mesa
Ridge. Councilman Tonn moved to authorize the Mayor to enter into the
contract with Provident Development Company and include "of 520 units" in
Section II. Sentence 2 of Section II would then read, "Provident hereby
retains the right to have for its' sole and exclusive use the designed
capacity of 520 units of this lift station." The motion was seconded by

Samuelson told the Council that item #1 had more or less been taken care of in?
that the City has agreed to help with the maintenance of the Cemetary. The Cemetary
Association has now requested that the City not take over completely but help with the
maintenance and that is being done. Therefore, the actual take over of the Cemetary
needs to be brought back to the Council for their action rather than to remain tabled.
Items 2 and 4 deal with a variance that was requested by Roy Moore to the Southern
Standard Swimming Pool Code. Mr. Moore was referred to the Board of Adjustment by the
Council but he never came in and requested that the Board hear his request. Also,
brought up at this time was the fact that the Board of Adjustment terms have expired
and either new members appointed or the Board eliminated. Samuelson stated that this
Board of Adjustment could be worked into the same type of board the Council discussed
several meetings back to administer the building codes. Samuelson is to take care of
the Roy Moore situation by getting Mr. Moore in to get a permit and erect a fence
around the pool. The Board of Adjustment members need to be appointed.
Items 3, 6, 7, 9 and 10 concerning the development fee were discussed. The staff
is to bring back a recommendation on the development fee at the May 25, 1978 meeting.
Samuelson stated that Item 5 had been discussed with the Chief of Police and that
it was the opinion of the staff that the speed limits are sufficient as they presently
are. It was the concensus of the Council that this item be dropped. This will appear
on the next regular agenda for disposition.
Item 8 will be brought back for the Council to eliminate at the next regular
meeting May 25, 1978.
It was the decision of the Council to leave items 11, 12, 13 and 14 as they
presently stand until Mr. Neans comes back and requests that the streets be accepted
in Round Rock West Sections IV and V.
Items 15 and 16 were discussed as to whether the Council wanted the ordinance to
state that the City require 8% donation in land or money from developers of new sub-
divisions. Under the current provision of the subdivision ordinance the City can only
"encourage" developers participation in donating land or money for park purposes. Dis-
cussion was held on the feasibility of just requiring land rather than land or money
in lieu of land. The staff is to bring back the proposed ordinance as soon as possible.
3E. Consider discussion of a proposed parade ordinance. Samuelson stated that he
would not recommend that the Council proceed with this ordinance at this time. The
Council agreed that this could be taken up at a later date.
CITY MANAGER'S REPORT: Samuelson passed out the proposed Personnel Policy and
Employee Manual for the Councils pursual. This item will appear on the next regular
agenda for Council action.
Samuelson stated that Wade McLeod had approached him about the City taking over
all of the dog care related to the City Animal Warden's job. In 2 to 3 months Dr.
McLeod will no longer be able to let the City,use his clinic as a pound. Staff will
start assembling plans toward a city pound.
The staff has been getting numerous calls concerning weedy lots. Samuelson asked
the Council if they would have any objections to the City contracting with an individual
to mow the lots and then that individual be reimbursed when the City was reimbursed by
the property owner. Council advised Samuelson to proceed and bring back a recommendation
to the Council at a regular meeting.
There being no further business before the Council, the meeting adjourned at 12:05 A.M.

OLD BUSINESS: 10A. Consider a request from Matthews and Associates concerning
sewer services to the subdivision referred to as The Hermitage and authorizing the
Mayor to enter into a contract for said services. James Samuelson told the Council
that a meeting had taken place between the developers and the City staff and at
that meeting it was concluded that it would be feasible for the City to furnish
sewer to the Hermitage at the present time but that it would not be feasible to
provide water. John Carter, attorney for Matthews and Associates, stated that his
client will comply with all subdivision regulations and any requests the City may
make within reason. The developer will buy water from another source but the City
will also provide garbage as well as sewer services. Carter went over each of the
stipulations in the resolution that was presented to the Council for their considera-
tion authorizing the Mayor to enter into a contract with Matthews and Associates.
City Attorney Sheets stated that this resolution is merely the City's agreement
to agree to provisions of the contract. The guidelines set out in the resolution
are general guidelines and not an exclusive list. Samuelson stated his concern over
"Section 8". Carter said that Section 8 could be taken out without any problems
at all. Mayor Litton then read the resolution in its entirety as follows:
WHEREAS, the City of Round Rock wishes to provide wastewater and sanitation
service to Matthews and Associates, Inc., Developers of Hermitage subdivi-
sion which is located outside the corporate city limits of Round Rock,
Texas; and
WHEREAS, the City ordinances require the City of Round Rock to contract for
City services to areas outside of the City of Round Rock; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Round Rock wishes to grant the Mayor
of Round Rock, Ray Litton, the authority to execute said contract for and in
the name of the City of Round Rock; and
WHEREAS, the City of Round Rock has determined that certain contract prices
and terms should be a part of said contract, NOW, THEREFORE:
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Round Rock, Texas that
Mayor, Ray Litton, is hereby authorized to Contract in the name of and for the
City of Round Rock, Texas for the City to provide wastewater and sanitation
services to Matthews and Associates, Inc. for the Hermitage subdivision located
on Sam Bass Road outside the City of Round Rock, Texas; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the City Council of Round Rock, Texas that the Mayor,
Ray Litton, is hereby instructed that said contract shall contain the following
terms:
(1) The City shall furnish wastewater service for all of the dwelling
units located in the Hermitage subdivision.
(2) The price of such wastewater service shall be $5.00 per tap, per
month which is twice the minimum inside the City charge for wastewater service.
(3) The developer, Matthews and Associates, Inc. shall provide a surety
bond in the amount of $1,200.00 as a method of insuring the payment of said fees.
(4) The one time tap fee shall be as required by ordinance for out of
City users which is $100.00 per tap.
(5) It is agreed that the City is not presently providing water to the
subject tract, but the developer shall agree that they will purchase water from
the City when City water is available to the tract.
(6) The City shall furnish sanitation services to all of the dwelling units
located in the Hermitage subdivision.
(7) The price of such sanitation service shall be $6.00 per customer per
month.
(8) The terms of the contract shall terminate upon the annexation of the

April and the first of May. One traffic fatality, 57 citations given and 31 dog

The referred letter is as follows:
Subject: Placement of Passive Warning Devices at
Public Railroad Grade Crossings
Gentlemen:
In compliance with Section 203 of the Highway Safety Act of 1973, a
Statewide Program has been developed to inventory and improve passive
protection at public railroad grade crossings within the State. This
program will provide for signing and marking improvements at those
public crossings where a need is defined by the State acting by and
through the State Department of Highways and Public Transportation.
Federal funding for such improvements is to be provided by Section 203
of the 1976 Highway Safety Act with State matching funds; no City or
County funds will be required.
Districtwide projects, which include your jurisdiction, are proposed
to make the necessary improvements. These projects will provide for the
installation or upgrading of crossbuck signs, number of track signs,
advance warning signs, and pavement markings to conform with the standards
specified in the TEXAS MANUAL ON UNIFORM TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES.
Since improvement needs may be designated at crossings within your
jurisdiction, your participation in this program is recommended. Such
participation will require the acceptance and return of this agreement.
By your acceptance of this agreement, signing or marking improvements
designated in the proposed project can be made under the above mentioned
funding. Existing passive protection devices found to be nonstandard
or in poor condition will be salvaged and disposed of without credit
to your jurisdiction. Upon completion of the project, the newly in-
stalled or upgraded devices, excluding crossbuck and number of track
signs, shall become your jurisdiction's property and maintenance
responsibility.
By duly authorizing the signing and return of one copy of this letter,
the City of Round Rock grants permission for the State or its Agent
to perform the work herein described as may be necessary to provide a
minimum passive warning system at those public street/road grade crossings
` of railroads within its jurisdiction as defined and designated by the
State.
Your early consideration and approval is requested to allow a project for
said improvements.

for the City.of Round Rock. Mayor Pro -tem Griffith explained that the committee, appointed
txe by the Mayor previously, had met and reached an agreement on the sign standards. These
standards are being put in ordinance.form by City staff and then will be taken to the
Planning and Zoning Commission where a public hearing will be held and then a recom-
mendation made back to the Council. At that time a public hearing will be held before
the Council and then action on the ordinance.
NEW BUSINESS: Mayor Pro -tem Griffith informed the guests as well as Council members
of the Fiesta to be held in Veterans Park during the Memorial Day weekend.
Sharon Prete, new recreation director, told the Council about the Children's
Parade to be held Saturday June 3, 1978 at 1:00 A.M. to begin the summer program. Also,
Splash Day will be held June 2, 1978.
CITY MANAGER'S REPORT: The Sam Bass Historical Commission has personally
guaranteed payment of the replicas of the Sam Bass gun which will be sold by the Commission.
The City did not guarantee payment even though the Commission is a bonafide commission
of the City.
It was the consensus of the Council that the City Manager proceed with the pursuance
of issuing licenses to plumbers and electricians who work in the Round Rock jurisdiction.
The property taxes are now in excess of $300,000 collected.
The Jaycees have approached the City concerning holding a rodeo during the Frontier
Day celebration. They would like to use the practice fields at the end of East Main
Street. It was the consensus of the Council to approve this request if the Jaycees and
City staff can work out the legal ramifications.
Council membersneedto contact the City Secretary by Wednesday, May 31, 1978 to
determine how many membbrs will attend the annual Mayor and Councilmember Conference to
be held in Galveston June 3 thru 6, 1978.
The P and Z has asked that an engineer
gineer be provided to look over all plats submitted
to the City. Samuelson stated that he would like to recommend the utilization of Haynie
and Kallman between now and October 1, 1978 when an engineer could be put on staff. The
anticipated monthly cost would be $1,000.00 and would require a budget amendment. The
City is not required to take bids.on professional services. The Council agreed that the
City Manager should bring back the necessary amendment.
Discussion was held on the manner in which the Public Works Director resigned.
Councilman Lopez stated that some of the City vehicles have no identification and
,__that some is needed. Samuelson stated that this would be taken care of immediately.
Samuelson passed out the proposed CIP for the GO Bond Issue for the Councils - Purusal.,
This will probably be disucssed fully in a work session. The items included do not reflect
priority but rather all items the staff could see that were needed. The Council will set
the priorities.
John Gordon, Mesa Village Homeowners representative, stated that the lights are.still
out on Sunshine and would like this to be taken care of as soon as. possible.
There being no further business the meeting adjourned at 9:25 P.M.

the Zoning Ordinance to reduce the density in the "R-2" Multi -family Residential District.
John Gordon, Mesa Village Homeowners Association President, 1007 Green Meadow appeared
before the Council to state his homeowners views concerning density. Gordon stated that
he felt the ordinance to be incomplete. Mr. Gordon brought out the following three points
that he felt should be included in the ordinance.
1. "For the purpose of computing the maximum number of units allowed, those
areas included in ponds, flood plains, lakes and grades greater than 50%
will be excluded from the tract acreage."
2. "Prior to receiving a building permit, all apartment complexes of 21 or
more units must first submit their site plan for city review to insure
(a) the adequacy of traffic flow within the complex and on surrounding
city streets, (b) the adequacy of placement of fire hydrants, (c) the
adequacy of access by fire, emergency and police units, and (d) the
adequacy of measures to be undertaken to prevent an offensive burden
being placed on neighboring landowners and tenants by the complex."
3. "A charge of $100 per unit will be levied at the time of building permit
issuance to provide the city with -funds to develop additional park lands
for the use of the additional apartment residents and the city in general."
Reggie Richardson, 101 Vista, stated that he would like to see the zoning laws broken
down so that the average person will know what the density of a section is by the section
it is in.

C. W. McCarty, 211 Vista, informed the Council of the problems encountered in

the request of the P & Z board or with your professional staff or with your city engineers.
Gentlemen, I ask you, you tell us what you need to make the project fly, we'll make it
fly."

Dear Mr. Samuelson:
Please consider this as a request for oversize payment on the 10" waterline
installed on the north side of Bowman Road from Mesa Park Drive to Sunrise Road.
The oversizing of the line was required by the City of Round Rock upon approval
of the construction plans and specifications for water improvements for Sunrise
Vista -Section Two. The installation of the 10" water line, by Underground Utilities
Company for this subdivision, was paid for by Bill Kitts. Therefore, this request
is being made in the name of Bill Kitts. The bid contract price for 10" water
pipe was $9.50/l.f. and for 8" water pipe was $7.50/l.f. by Underground Utilities
Company, for a difference of $2.00/l.f. The amount of oversize payment requested
is listed as follows:
1,319 L.F. (10" water pipe) @ $2.00/l.f. difference = $2,638. requested.
Please place this item on the agenda for City Council consideration at your
convenience.
Should you have any questions, please contact this office.
Cordially,

charge to help establish a minimum fee. This would help
cover indirect and direct costs of small building inspections.
2. Plumbing & Electrical Permits - As with building permits above, we see no need
to increase the per outlet or per fixture rate but we need
to institute an issuance fee of $5.00 per each permit. This
would establish a minimum fee and would help to recover in-
spection costs of small structures.
3. Mechanical Permit - The present rate should be adequate. ($20.00)
4. Sewer Tap The present rate of $50 was established in 1970 and is far from
being sufficient in recovering costs associated with a tap
today. The amount of $150 we are asking for is used to
defray expenses of very expensive equipment and a crew of
men required for each tap. Some taps, such as in Old Town,
require several days to complete because the sewer line is
in the street and the distance to the tap is very long and
difficult. We must then do a street cut and manhole tap
which requires, besides time and labor, concrete asphalt,
new lines, back fill and clamps. The $150 charge is no-
where near enough to recover costs in those situations.
In other instances, such as subdivisions, we may just break
even when the subdivider runs the line and we only make the
tap to their stub -out. But again sometimes it is difficult
even in these situations to make the tap and it always
requires a crew of men, a backhoe, a truck and associated
costs.
5. Water Tap - As with sewer taps, we are asking for an increase from $75 to
$150. These rates were set back in 1970 long before the
inflation and building boom. Costs, as you yourself know,
have spiraled upwards dramatically and this requested in-
crease represents but a small adjustment in our fees to
compensate for our costs.
Builder Doyle Hickerson stated that the proposed water and sewer taps were more than he
had anticipated. He also stated he would like to see the extra revenue from the increases
go toward the job pertaining to the fee (i.e. water tap revenue toward water taps). Dis-
cussion was held on when the tap fee should be paid, Councilman Tonn stated he would like
to see the fee activities correlate with fee revenues. It was the concensus of the Council
to have the City Manager bring back the proposed fee changes in the form of an ordinance
at the next regular meeting.
NEW BUSINESS: 11C. Consider acceptance of the water and sewer line extension across
Chandler Road to the John C. Nash Property. This item was withdrawn as previously stated
in these minutes. 11A. Consider acceptance of water and sewer lines in Greenhill Section
1. (NPC Realty Company) 11B. Consider acceptance of the streets and drainage in

CITY MANAGEW S'REPORT ' Samuelson stated that the two standpipes, should be completed
by the middle orl a e August. These are located by the Gulf Station and in Chisholm Valley.
The staff anticipated to make the last major ti.-=in to the new system June 22nd at
midnight.
Samuelson stated that he had been approached by the Family Planning Unit asking the City
to help locate oflfide an do hinic space, fn Round Rock. The space would be used approximately
5 hours a day and,twice a,month for exam and lab work. Mayor Litton requested:that a copy
of the Willi'amso 4Burnet County Opportunities budget be obtained to determine how much
benefit Round Rook Would get.
Samuelson stated that the water improvements in Eggers Acres should be turned on
within the next W6ek to week and a half.
ADJOURN TO WORK ` SESSION
WORK SESSIONi. 14A. Consider discussion on an annexation proposal from McNeil
Laboratories. Mr.'Ralph S, Larson, representing McNeil Laboratories, presented the follow-
ing suggestions to the Council concerning annexation of their property and a sewer easement
through McNeil property
1.' To! Provide a city boundary contiguous to the Lumberman`sproperty, thereby
permi ting its immdeiate annexation, we will agree to immediate annexation
of can,lappropriate portion of our property on the southern boundary (not in-
cluding the plant). That same annexati n agreement will provide for the
annexation of the remainingMcNeil 'prop rty effective January 1,,1981. This
timhng1will permit the plant to be !comp eted!and phased through the difficult
and, expensive start-up period prior to annexation of the full site.
2. As tiMlhg the above is satisfactory and 3ubject to the working out of neces
sary'oetails, we will also grant to the city!a sewer easement through the
cree;kbed'on our property. As we under Land it, this will, permit gravity
flow s!6wer discharge into the city syst m from adjacent property thereby
perm t,ting future development without r sorting'to the use of lift stations..
Mr. Larson stated';that hopefully;the plant would be c mpleted by June or July 1979 and
that one year of!bpoaration without city taxes would e olve,by the suggestion made,concern
ing annexation. Larson'furtEer stated that,his cpmpa y was willing to cooperate with the
City but that on rocently the idea of annexation had been brought up. During the
preli:mi'nary talksiwil,,1th city staff there was no mention of annexation.or being inside the
city limits.' Thd reuenue difference to the City by annexing the property at the comple-
tion of the construction phase would be approximately $10,000. Larson stated that he
was more worried'abtddt the circumstances than the'mon y involved, The Council agreed
that the situati6k needs to be looked into more close y and instructed the City Secretary,
to place the'itemi6hlthe Council agenda for July �7, 978.
14B. Consider=further, discussion cf'density alternatives in the R-2 Multi;-family
Residential District. Bob'Bennett stated that the City had recently passed an ordinance
concerning density ip R-2 Multi-family Residential Districts setting the unit number at
20 per acre. He tated'thisordinance was just a interum measure andwould have to be
reviewed by the P anping and Zoning Commission when the General Plan for the Cityhas been
completed. Hopefully: this will all be completed by the end of the year.
John Gordon Meta Village Homeowner§ Association President, stated that he was
very disappointed inithe outcome of the. ordinance and would hope the Council would
E
consider site pl 6n r*'oui ew for the Planning Department Bennett', explained that site plan
review is being dvne,lpresently.
This situation jis, being addressed as needed byte Planning Department and Planning
and Zoning Commissio'K who wi11 in turn make I a recommendation to the Council at the proper
time.

The Council was advised that the City
would be able
to sell $1.4 to $1.5 million dollars
worth of GO Bonds at the present. Discussion
was
held concerning the acquisition of the
Gene Rossow property on Highway 79.
The property
consists of approximately 31 acres and

plant or park complex. Closer
figures are to be ascertained on the
suggestions made above as quickly as possible so the
Council can act and get the issue before
the citizens.
Discussion was held concerning the
railroad crossing
situation. Staff is working as
fast and effectively as possible on the
situation.
All avenues are being investigated.
Mayor Litton told the Council that
the City has
been granted a 30 unit turn key low
rv' housing project by HUD. This will be
the same type
of facility as constructed on Lance
Street. Also, the City has received
a letter of intent
on the Industrial Grant.
Mayor Litton then presented a 35
acre park complex plan to the Council and citizens.
The plan included 2 hardball fields,
2 softball fields,
2 soccer fields, 4 tennis courts
and a basketball complex. Also enough
parking to
serve 775 cars + 36 handicapped spaces.
There being no further business

10C. Consider suspension of issuance of building permits in the City
of Round Rock; and 10D. Consider establishing a Council Sub -committee to
negotiate with Brazos River Authority and present a financial plan back to the
Council within sixty (60) days. Mayor Litton stated that the wells were
holding and rather than shutting down construction, it would be more feasible,
in his opinion, to curtail consumption (for lawn watering purposes) by
residents.
Councilman Robinson stated 9 points he would like the Council to consider.
They are as follows:
1. Change the joint meeting of the Council and Planning and Zoning
Commission from Tuesday, July 18th, to Wednesday, July 19th.
2. Have the Planning staff develop an Urban Services Program.
3. Take another look at the water and sewer tap fees rather than
raising the rates.
4. Set up a concentrated water and sewer program within the next
60 to 90 days and look at all alternatives.
5. Set up a study committee to work on the water and sewer program.
This committee should consist of two council -members, two Planning
and Zoning members, the City Engineer and four citizens.
6. A complete study of the aquifier should be done.
7.
Set
up
some type of
plan for lawn
watering on
alternate
days.
8.
Ask
the
cooperation
of the general
public and
building
communities.
9. Ask the people to the west who receive city water to conserve
as well as the citizens of Round Rock.
Councilman Tonn added that he would 1) like to have the bonding information
as soon as possible; 2) pursue additional water resources in order to supple-
ment the people outside the City limits rather than using City water; and 3)
set up lawn watering as follows: Even numbered houses on even numbered
calendar days and odd numbered houses on odd numbered calendar days.
Steve Kallman stated that it might be wost to consider times as well as
days on lawn watering until the pumps have been lowered. He suggested the
hours of 5:30 a.m. to 8:00 or 9:00 a.m.; also, sectionalize watering would
be beneficial.
Councilman Tonn moved to adopt all 9 points of Councilman Robinson's
presentation in addition to the 3 points he presented. Councilman Correa
seconded the motion.

Wellman.
Several citizens, including Clarence Born and C. W. McCarty gave brief

and Zoning Commission.
Mayor Litton said the City is presently looking at future water supply.
Loughrey said the Planning and Zoning Commission needs to know the city's water
capacity at this time in order to eveluate a large plat. Burgan asked what type
of safe guards the Commission has regarding water availablity when a large plat,
for example 500 acres, is being considered. Mayor Litton replied that it
would depend on where that 500 acres is located.
Councilman Tonn requested that the Planning Director's presentation be
heard at this time.
Bennett explained that the Urban Service Program would coordinate the
Capital Improvement Program with the plans of the City. Each service level
determines the service capacity of any area in the City. Each level ascertains
constraint, cost, and lead time, and it informs the City of a high priority
for the next year's CIP. This would insure the citizens that the quality of
life in Round Rock will continue to get better.
John Gordon, President of -the Mesa Village Homeowners Association, asked
if a policy of holding a reserve for commercial development would be estab-
lished and who would establish this policy. Bennett explained that the City
Council would establish a policy; since at present residential structures have
the highest service consumption, the City is trying to establish a tax base.
Tibbitts said that at this time the Planning and Zoning Commission doesn't
have any option when a plat is submitted as the subdivision ordinance reads.
If there is a master plan with CIP adopted by the City, this would provide
a legal basis to consider certain plats in a certain time frames --"manage-
ment growth".
Sheets said 'there are no legal standards now; denial of a plat because
of water could be considered arbitrary without a checklist for the developer
to comply with for plat approval. A checklist could state "if the City has
a certain capacity;" then the Planning and Zoning would have the proper stand-
ards for denying a plat.
Councilman Tonn said he would like to see an ordinance brought before the
City Council to outline that the Planning and Zoning Commission would have to
insure all services would be available, the City Staff would certify this
information, and then the plat would be approved or disapproved.
Tibbitts said that the City needs an articulated policy, by the Council,
by the Commission, or by consensus of both in a joint session. He said he
would like considered by everyone the following topics: direction of growth,
amount of waxer, and size of Staff.
Councilman Tonn said he thought specific plans need to be developed
for the City that it already is committed to through approved plats.
Tibbitts said the City Council needs to consider growth with CIP.
Samuelson said that becuase of the bonding system, the City has to look
at more than two years at a time.
Councilman Robinson, regarding growth, said he didn't think the Commission
or the Council could do their job as fas as the health and welfare of the people
is concerned with the City's growth situation the way it is; no water and no
sewer is not quality of life. Most of the development to the west is using
septic tank. Since people feel that the water will be contaminated because
of septic tanks, the City will probably have to get a sewer system out there.
However, without water there can't be any sewer. Councilman Robinson said
it is his idea to prusue Brazos River Authority being the district manager
for sewer treatment. As far as the water problem, the City should pursue

July 19, 1978
Councilman Tonn said he would like to see the City Manager pursue test
wells, and he would like to see the subdivision ordinance amendment presented
to the Council.
It was the consensus of both bodies that water and sewer availability
should be considered as future preliminary plats are considered by the Plan-
ning and Zoning Commission. To avoid making an arbitrary decision when a
plat is disapproved, the Commission was advised by the City Attorney to make
a part of the record the reasons for its decision. Regarding increasing the
Staff, Mayor Litton told the Planning Director to tell the City Manager
if he needs help, and it is the responsibility of the City Manager to hire
personnel. October 1st is the deadline everyone is working toward completion
of the Urban Service Plan.
There being no further discussion, the meeting was adjourned at 11:00P.M.

Mr. Traweek stated that if the City did not stop issuing permits as recom-
mended the homeowners associations, or even individual homeowners, did have
recourse in that they could initiate an injunction through the Attorney General's
office to stop permits and pull the certificate of approved water supply from
the City.
Mr. Traweek questioned the key rate for the City. He asked if a letter had
been received last year from the insurance board stating that the key rate
would be raised if water improvements were not started by May 1, 1978. A
letter was received and complied with since all the Capital Improvements were
well underway by May 1st.
Steve Kallman, City Engineer, stated that the hydrologist, Ron Harden, had
recommended that the City continue to drill test holes but that he does not feel
the City has surpassed the safe yield of the aquifier. He also recommended to
search out other areas in the Edwards Aquifier that are deeper than our present
wells. This area should be principally to the east of Round Rock.
Gordon Perez questioned the Council concerning the progress of the sewer and
streets in Bellview Subdivision. Mr. Samuelson stated that the City will meet
the August 31st deadline as promised. Arrangements for pipe, fill and a curbing
machine have been made.
The need for street signs and street repairs in Mesa Village were brought
to the Council's attention by Mr. James Wood. Samuelson stated that City crews
are working now as quickly as possible to remedy the situation. With the current
water situation all City crews have been devoting most of their time to the water
department. The two streets of major concern were Georgetown and Mesa Park
Drive. Mr. Wood also stated that some type of weed control was needed on the
vacant land in front of Mesa Village where the apartments are to be built.
The property owners of that land are responsible for the upkeep and the City will
see that they are properly notified of the situation.
Mr. Allan Baca of Chisholm Valley Subdivision stated that the citizens of
Round Rock should be thankful for the resources that are available here.
He stated that in some towns throughout Texas the City is having to haul water
some 40 to 50 miles just in order to have water to drink.
APPOINTMENTS: None
PUBLIC HEARINGS: 6A. Consider citizen testimony concerning a request to
zone the T. L. Wright Tract Annexation to "B-2" Local Business District. (0.62 acres)
Bob Bennett, Planning Director, stated that this tract is located in the vicinity
of Winns and H.E.B. and will be used to expand the shopping center at that
location. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the zoning.
OPPOSITION: None. FOR: None. COUNCIL COMMENT: None. F_ Z P AF_
6B. Consider citizen testimony concerning a request to zone the Tom E.
Nelson Tract Annexation to "B-2" Local Business District. { acres). This
tract is located North of Bowman Road at the North boundaries of Egger Acres and
Mesa Village Subdivisions. The developers of this tract want to go no higher
than a tri-plex density on the property. The Planning and Zoning Commission
recommended approval of the zone to R-2 with the stipulation that deed restric-
tions setting out the density be filed at the County Courthouse. They also
recommended that the ordinance be read twice so that the developer can file the
deed restrictions with the County Clerk before the final passage of the ordinance.
OPPOSITION: None. FOR: Jim Hislop stated that he is trustee for the tract
and would answer any questions the Council might have. COUNCIL COMMENT: None.
There being no further comments the public hearings were closed.

Jim Hislop stated that he felt the Council needed to consider all avenues to
generate bonding capacity to insure the City of bringing surface water to the
City and to insure the construction of another sewer plant in the near future.
These improvements are done through bonding and the City's capacity to pay back
those bonds. "These things need to be considered if the City is to continue
to grow in an orderly manner."
Paul Nicks, City Water and Sewer Supt., stated that some type of standards
need to be followed by all builders and developers so that the crews do not
have to hunt for the tap locations. Also better quality material needs to be
used.
Councilman Pena stated that, in his opinion, "we're at a crossroads.
If it takes an increase for us to get ahead of the situation rather than stay
behind, then that is what we need to do."
Mayor Pro -tem Griffith questioned City Attorney Steve Sheets as to the
legality of the second reading if an amendment was made. Sheets stated that
all the Charter requires is that the ordinance be heard twice and this would be
the second reading even with the amendment if the Council so desired to make a
change.
Councilman Robinson made the motion to amend the ordinance to read
sewer tap fees $350 and water tap fees $300. The motion was seconded by
Councilman Correa.
Ayes: Mayor Pro -tem Griffith

Motion carried unanimously. Councilman Robinson then moved to approve the
ordinance on the second reading with the above so stated amendment. Councilman
Correa seconded the motion.
I 9B. Consider an ordinance zoning a portion (1.37 acres) of the Michael
Bennett Subdivision fo "B-1" General Business District. (Michael Bennett)
(Second Reading). Terrance Kendall, attorney for Michael Bennett, stated that
his client is aware of the location of the existing utilities and is willing to,
at his own expense, meet those utilities. Samuelson stated that he had been in
contact with the highway department and they have granted the City of Round
Rock to supervise a cut across highway 620 at whichever location is best for Mrs
Bennett and that the cut can be done during the widening of 620. The City will
perofrm as a general contractor for Bennett and must give the highway department
a 48 hour notification before the cut is schedlued. Mayor Pro -tem Griffith
read the caption of the ordinance as follows:

August 2, 1978
Tom Tinner stated that, in his opinion, of these two new test holes that are
currently being drilled proved good then there would be no problem as far as the Health
Department is concerned. These two wells would allieviate the strain put on the two
pumps at the main well.
Both Tinner and Williams stated their concern over the contract that the City has
with Brushy Bend Park. They both felt that this was adding to the City's water situation.
Mayor Litton explained that when the contract was originally entered into by the City,
that it was hoped that the City would pick up 4 or 5 miles of transmission lines when
and if surface water was obtained from the North Fork Reservoir at no cost to the City.
Williams stated he was not aware of what the contract contained as far as maximum
gallons to be pumped to Brushy Bend, etc. because he did not have a copy of the contract.
Copy was furnished for his files.
Williams stated that if sufficient water could be kept in all storage tanks that
adequate water pressure could be maintained but that what the Health Department said was
that the future would depend on the,tigater_supply itself (i.e. the existing.wells and
the test holes presently being dug), not just adequate pressure.
Councilman Griffith questioned Williams as to the procedure usually followed
by the Health Department when concerned with a water situation such as Round Rock's.
Williams stated that other than citizens complaints he was basing his letter on too
many wells at one location; also no other town received a comparible letter because
no other town is growing at the rate Round Rock is. Tinner interjected that their main
concern was the source of water supply not so much the distribution system. Tinner also
stated that if the City verifies the amount of ground water available that it can be
hooked up as feasible; the need for verification of the supply is top priority.
The Council thanked Mr. Williams and Mr. Tinner for their time and Williams
stated that another meeting was needed after the test wells have been completed.
There being no further business the meeting adjourned at 4:30 P.M.
Respectfully sub fitted,
Joanne Land, City Secretary

Hickerson stated that these fees will affect the ultimate buyer or consumer
and discourage growth. Councilman Pena stated that, "You can encourage consumers
all you want but if you don't have products on the shelf you can't have customers.
Our product is water; we must have money to produce an adequate water supply."
Hickerson reiterated that his association would welcome a chance to bring
several alternatives to the Council.
Marge Wellman, Round Rock West resident, questioned the possibility of bike
lanes painted on streets around Deepwood Elementary. Samuelson stated that it would
be completed by the time school begins.
Larry Jackson, representing the Legislative Committee of the Chamber of
Commerce presented the following resolution to the Council:
RESOLUTION OF ROUND ROCK CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Resolved that the Round Rock Chamber of Commerce hereby supports the
following points relative to the current status of the water dis-
tribution system in the community of Round Rock.
1. That the council and staff continue to expedite the immediate
implementation of the current Capital Improvement Program for water
and wastewater distribution.
2. That the council and staff continue to seek additional water
sources both through additional wells and acquisition of surface water to
assure an abundance of water for future use of the community.
3. That the Chamber of Commerce pledges their support of such
voluntary conservation measures as the council finds necessary
to implement.
4. That the Chamber of Commerce voices it's confidence in the
professional staff and engineering consultants of the city in
assessing the needs of the community and resources available
to meet the demands of continued growth.
5. That the Chamber of Commerce recognizes the challenges of
meeting the great demands placed upon the council as a result of
continued growth and further commend the council in their
efforts and urge the continuation of the present policy of
providing for a planned and orderly growth of our fine community.
Gordon Davis of NPC echoed Hickerson's sentiments, but also, commended the
Council on handling the pressures well.
Steve Carter, Planning and Zoning Commissioner, strongly urged the Council to
consider the Urban Services Plan being prepared by the Planning Department as soon
as possible. This plan will be presented at the next regular council meeting.
Jim Mills, Provident Development Company President, asked Council policy
clarification relative to the issuing of building permits before subdivision
water, sewer and streets acceptance. This question was raised because about 11
building permits were refused because the utilities had not been accepted by the
City. Council stated that it was, and has been, the policy that building permits
be issued but no certificates of occupancy be issued until the utilities have been
officially accepted by the City.
Jay Lathum, 1907 Deepwood, asked when it was anticipated that construction be
completed at the intersection of Deepwood and McNeil Road. Paul Nicks, Public Works
Director, stated that with no unforseen problems it should be completed Friday,
August 11th.
A gentleman from Round Rock West told the Council that the developers are,
"hooking and jabbing" and "causing all the Council's headaches". He charged the
Council to, "correct what has been erected."

OFFICIAL PROCLAMATION OF THE CITY OF ROUND ROCK, TEXAS
Our Governor has proclaimed that August 13, 1978, through August 19, 1978,
shall be observed as Texas Public Employees' Week.
With dedicated efficiency and industry, our public employees provide
the excellent facilities and services of Texas at a cost ranking our fourth
most populous state among the five states with the lowest per capita expenditures.
Of approximately 88,000 public employees of every classification and in
every agency throughout Texas, over 1/3 belong to the Texas Public Employees
Association.
As Mayor, I enthusiastically urge that all of us in Round Rock appreciatively
join the Governor in honoring the public employees of Texas and that we accord
special recognition to the public employees in the city of Round Rock.
I further recommend that the period of August 13 through August 19, 1978,
be designated as TEXAS PUBLIC EMPLOYEES' WEEK and that all citizens of Round
Rock share in this public commendation of our public employees.
In official recognition thereof, I hereby affix my signature this 10th

ROLL CALL: Present: Mayor Ray Litton, Mayor Pro -tem Robert G. Griffith,
Councilman Larry Tonn, Councilman Pete Correa, Councilman Mike Robinson, Councilman
Tom Lopez, and Councilman Steve Pena. Also present: City Manager James Samuelson
and City Attorney Steve Sheets.
ORDINANCES: By Council concensus item 3B. Consider an emergency ordinance
suspending the unnecessary use of water for non -human comsumDtion in the City of
Round Rock was taken up before item 3A. Mayor Litton opened the discussion by
explaining that the pumping level at the main well was down to 18 feet and more
drastic measures were necessary. Samuelson stated that there had been no report of
any white material or foreign substance in the water even though the pumping level
was low.
Samuelson's recommendation to the Council was to, by ordinance, enact no water-
ing of lawns for a temporary period. Councilman Robinson questioned how such an
ordinance could be enforced. Sheets stated that there was no way to criminally
enforce this type of ordinance the way the Charter is written. A permanent ordinance
can be prepared and introduced at the regular Council meeting August 24th if the
Council so desires. Mayor Litton read the ordinance in full as follows:

Councilman Tonn questioned the type of reception received by the committee that met
with the City of Round Rock had. Councilman Robinson stated that they were very positive
on an emergency type basis.
Councilman Robinson requested that the Urban Services Plan be put on the next
regular agenda for the Council to consider. Councilman Robinson stated, "if we can't
serve what we have, we're not doing out job."
Councilman Griffith questioned the present fire protection capabilities. Samuelson
stated that, at present, 3 million gallons are in storage.
Mayor Litton asked the Council to give him the authority to take whatever measures
necessary concerning the stoppage of building permits on a voluntary basis rather than
making it mandatory. This then would not affect the City's bonding capacity.
Councilman Tonn moved to adopt the ordinance suspending building permits. Council-
man Robinson seconded the motion.
Mayor Litton read the ordinance in full as follows:

Councilman Griffith stated that the Council had two alternatives to look at 1)
the moratorium ordinance and 2) leaving the situation in the Mayor's hands to handle on
a day to day voluntary basis.
Doyle Hickerson questioned the number of permits issued within the last week.
27 residential, 2 commercial and 2 sign permits. Hickerson stated that 98 new homes were
sold in June and 65 new homes sold in July. This shows that sales are dropping.
Gordon Davis told the Council that he confronted these. same problems i;n Flortda
for 11 years during the summer months. This is not a unique problem,,
Councilman Griffith restated the two alternatives the Council had before. them. He
also stated that :the affects of a moratorium would deffni:tely be ne.gati;ve on th.e. City"s,
bonding capacity and rating.
Marge Wellman stated she felt a sense of unfairness. I:t is not fair to penali"ze
the homeowner and let the builders do as they please. If homeowners cooperation is
wanted then the builders should have to cease building.

CITIZENS COMMUNICATIONS: Mayor (itton told
t
ie audience of approxi: mate ly;500
persons that he would be the first citi en'to.rna
e
a presentation. Mayor Litton
August 24, 1978
stated that his presentation had nothing to do with the pending recall affidavit
against him. He went on to say that he had in no way had anything to do with the
decisions reached so far concerning the affidavit, as had been handed down by the staff.
Mayor Litton stated that the staff has worked beyond their expected performances
for the health and welfare of the community. Every aspect has been searched or is
currently being investigated. The problems last year concerning the water situation
were not one of quantity but rather one of distribution.
Mayor Litton then went over the chain of events leading up to the meeting held this
date. He further stated that the Council would recess the regular meeting at 9:30 p.m.
and call to order an emergency called meeting in order to consider an ordinance sus-
pending the issuance of building permits for a period of 60 days.
Mayor Litton stated that each Councilman may vote as he sees fit on any issue
before the Council. He concluded that his main concern for the citizens of Round Rock
was the need to care for the drinking water and that he was, to the best of his ability,
working toward a visible solution to the City's water situation.
Jim Robinson, a Round Rock West resident, was next to speak. He stated that he
was concerned over the water problem and angered that the Council did not vote on August
21, 1978 at an emergency called meeting to stop building permits at that time, but did see
fit to ban the watering of lawns of the citizens. He went on to say that he felt the mood
of the citizens to be the curtailing of growth until new and reliable water resources
are found. He also stated that he felt the recall should be suspended. In closing, Mr.
Robinson stated that he felt the City should, "limit our growth until resources are found
to meet our needs."
Dottie Young then appeared before the Council and capacity audience. Ms. Young
stated that she was willing to pay whatever is necessary for services as long as the
services were available. She appealed to the Council to consider dividing the City into 7
parts so people could at least water their lawns one day a week and keep them alive.
Larry Cmerek stated that he felt that the Mayor double talked and that the four
who voted against suspending permits at the August 21st meeting, "don't have much sense."
Councilman Lopez stated that he did not appreciate the attitude shown by Mr. Cmerek.
He also stated that he voted on his own and no one told or made him vote negatively.
James Summers, another resident of Round Rock West, stated that all he heard
during the course of the meeting up to this point, could be considered, "political
retorich." He also stated that the re -patch job on McNeil Road was not satisfactory
and needed to be looked into by City Staff. Mr. Summers questioned how many building
permits were outstanding with no meters at the present. Samuelson stated that 632 building
permits had been issued since January 1st; 547 Certificates of Occupancy issued, leaving a
balance of 85 permits outstanding. Summers suggested that it might be feasible to stop
the taps rather than the building permits. He further concluded that if the Council con-
tinues to ban the watering of lawns they, the Council, could be held liable for repayment
of damages caused to the yards due to the lack of water.
David Duke asked if the Council had considered putting in a water line to Cedar Park.
He had heard that this was a possibility and could be done for around $500,000. Councilman
Robinson stated that the water obtained by Cedar Park comes from LCRA (Lake Travis) and
that the City is pursuing that possibility. The cost of the project will be more in the
neighborhood of $11,000,000 rather than $500,000.
Hank Taylor stated that he had no solution to the problem but felt that something
should be done as quickly as possible. He also stated that his wife had had difficulty
in reviewing some building permits at City Hall. Samuelson stated that the records of the
City are open to the public anytime a citizen would care to review them. Taylor stated
that he had heard that a permit had been issued for an apartment complex. Bob Bennett
stated that his department was not trying to hide anything and that he would welcome the

shall own or occupy any lot or lots in the City of Round Rock, Texas, to permit
or allow the accumulation of stagnant water thereon, or to permit same to remain.

shall own or occupy any lot or lots in the City of Round Rock, Texas, to allow
weeds, rubbish, brush or any other unsightly, objectionable or insanitary matter

Motion carried unanimously.
9J. Consider an ordinance suspending the watering of lawns and other vegetation
for customers on the City of Round Rock water system. (First Reading). City Attorney
Steve Sheets read the ordinance as follows:
AN ORDINANCE PROHIBITING THE WATEFUL USE OF WATER; PROHIBITING THE WATERING OF
LAWNS AND OTHER OUTDOOR VEGETATION; PROVIDING FOR A FINE AND TERMINATION OF
SERVICE; MAKING PROVISIONS OF ORDINANCE APPLICABLE TO NON-RESIDENT USERS OF CITY
WATER; PROVIDING FOR THE SUSPENSION OF THE ENFORCEMENT OF THIS ORDINANCE UNTIL
THE COUNCIL DETERMINES AN EMERGENCY EXISTS; PROVIDING FOR NOTICE TO USERS;
REPEALING CONFLICTING ORDINANCES; AND PROVIDING FOR A SAVINGS CLAUSE.
WHEREAS, an adequate water supply is the most vital single necessity for
the existence of this or any other municipality; and
WHEREAS, a sufficiency of water is imperatively needed to protect the public
health, welfare, and safety, inasmuch as human life is impossible without an
adequate supply of pure water, and water must exist in sufficient quantity
and pressure to combat the ravages of fire, for the beautification of parks and
homes, and for hundreds of other vitally important uses, without which life
would be insupportable; and
WHEREAS, the City of Round Rock is wholly dependent for its water upon an
undergroud aquifer, and
WHEREAS, the population of the City has increased tremendously in recent
years, and the subsequent demand on the water supply of the City has grown
enormously; and
WHEREAS, the quantity of water in the aquifer is subject to drastic variations
due to periodic droughts and floods, and
WHEREAS, the probablilty exists that unregulated and wateful use of water
during an extended drought condition could result in the aquifer reaching
extremely low levels; and
WHEREAS, the possiblilty exists that the water level could reach such a low
level that the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of Round Rock would
be adversely affected; and
WHEREAS, this Council desires to establish stand-by authority to prohibit
the wasteful use of water and the watering of lawns during such emergency periods;
NOW THEREFORE
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROUND ROCK, TEXAS, THAT:
SECTION 1. It shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation within
the corporate limits of the City of Round Rock to waste water.
a. WASTE DEFINED. For the purpose of this ordinance, "waste" is defined
as cuasing, suffering, or permitting a flow of water, if derived from any private
well of more than 200 feet in depth or from a water aurin, to run into any river,
creek of other natural water course or drain, superficial or underground channel,
bayou, or into any sanitary or storm sewer, any street, road or highway, or upon
the lands of another person, firm or corporation, or upon public lands, without
first having obtained the maximum degree of beneficial use thereof.
b. MAXIMUM DEGREE OF BENEFICIAL USE. For the purpose of this ordinance,
the term "maximum degree of beneficial use" is defined, and shall be construed
to mean, the use of water under means and by methods of conservation as hereinafter
in this ordinance set out so that only that amount of water as is actually and
necessarily required for a specific purpose be used by the consumer or inhabitant.

suggested the Council consider some type of rotary telephone system, whereby, the
citizens could call to ascertain the well level, special meeting dates or any other
important information concerning city government. Councilman Robinson stated the
Council is in need of a better way to communicate with the citizens.
It was the consensus of the Council that item 3B was not the step to take at
this point in time.
Councilman Robinson suggested that instead of a fine or penalty, that the average
number of gallons for household use be determined and after that number the amount per
1,000 gallons be a much higher rate. Samuelson stated, "Any type or penalty would,
in my opinion, be almost impossible for us to enforce. The approach Councilman
Robinson suggested could be done on a level everyone understands." It was determined
that the Council was faced with an inevitable increase in residential, commercial
and industrial rates.
John Reynolds, developer and Round Rock West resident, stated that Killeen is
presently enforcing an every other day watering plan and Richland Hills has 3 -day
alternate plan. He stressed that the Council get everyone involved including the
businessmen.
C. W. McCarty, 211 Vista, stated that the citizens do need to be convinced that
"there is a water problem and they need to conserve. I regret we have the problem,
I wish I had an answer."
Councilman Robinson told the Council about the visit members of the Water Study
Committee made to Dallas and the Wayland Corporation. The Corporation will put an
entire water system and then the City may purchase the system over a period of years.
The Council agreed to hold a special meeting September 6th to duscuss the water
situation and the outcome of the meeting with the Austin City Council.
3C. Consider discussion of the Planning and Zoning Commission's request for
policy clarification concerning preliminary plats and related matters. Mayor Pro -tem
Griffith read the following resolution from the Planning and Zoning Commission:
BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning and Zoning Commission needs direction
from the City Council as to what to do about approving preliminary plats that
have questionable service levels.
WHEREAS, alternatives could be 1) not approve any more preliminary plats
until the water supply is determined for a particular ares; and 2) approve
preliminary plats and if a water crisis situation does occur that a moratorium
on building permits be pursued.
APPROVED by the Planning and Zoning Commission this 17th day of August,
1978.

agenda.

agenda in whatever form necessary to take proper action at that time whether it

and what can and cannot be done according to the Act.

the Council.
