conditions. Hank Hester and Estella Sager both spoke on behalf of the Library
Board and staff.

September 20, 19'8;
Due to unsafe,', conditions of the Library Building the meeting was recessed to the
Public Safety Building. The meeting reconvened at 7:15 P.M.
WORK SESSION: 3A. Consider presentation 'and discussion of the proposed Urban Service{
Plan for the Cityof RoundRock. Bob Bennett, Director of Planning and Community
Development, gave;the!presentation of the Urban Services Plan to the Council and
audience present.' Bob stated that the Planning and Zoning Commission had reviewed the
Plan and made the following recommendation. "1n order to provide for adequate water and
sewer servicesfor 'next summer, the Round Rock Planning Commission recommends that
an expenditure4of{approximately $500,000 for water and sewer improvements be made as
t
outlined for year,1979 in the Urban Services Element of the General Plan under develop-'
ment. If i't is,determined that the improvements cannot be made, the Planning Commission
recommends the continuation of a building permit moratorium in service levels 1b,
2 and Temporary until such, time as the needed improvements can be made."
Mayor Litton quesstioned where the monies for the improvements would come from.
James Samuelson stated that the money would come from the proposed GO Bond issue under
study by the CtY Staff. Bennett stated that the Plan is a tool that can be used in
many ways and is very flexible. He also stated that the Plan would be reviewed once a
year because uhder the Charter the 5'year Capital Improvement Project must be reviewed
yearly and this Pian goes "hand in hand'" with the CIP.
Councilman Tann'questioned how the staff would administer certain service levels.
Samuelson stated that if the monies were not available then there would be no growth in
that area unless the developers would want to proceed on their own in some manner.
This would be th;elisame situation that occured when Doyle Hickerson, NPC and Glenn
Neans installedlthe new lift station for Greenslopes
This P1an'was developed between the City engineers and the Planning staff'. The
Plan has been under development for the last 6 months and the staff feels comfortable
with the Plan.Samuelson stated that the staff is currently working to see what each
of the steps man tax wise. To finance the $2,000,000 for 1979 it could be possible
to re -identify; funds and say pay-off the GO bonds with revenue bonds. The Council
went on to'dis''uss financing possibilities and alternatives. At that point it was the
consensus of the Council to take the first year level of the Urban Services Plan
to the Engineers for a more detailed and comprehensive study.
OLD BUSINESS!: 4A Consider discussion of the Planning and Zoning Commission's
request for policy clarification concerning preliminary plats and related matters.
Bob Bennett state iO that the staff would recommend that if a plat is before the Planning
Commission and islinside the city limits those plats should be continued. Gordon
Perez, Planning,Commissioner,,,stated that it was his contention that if a preliminary
plat was technically correct and inside the city limits the Commission should 'go ahead
and process the plat. Councilman Tonnimovedto apply the subdivision ordinance as
far as it applies technically, to any preliminary plats that are received by the
Planning Commission. The motion was seconded by Councilman Pena,

The Round Rock City Council met in work session Tuesday, September 26, 1978 at
7:00 P.M. in the Public Safety Building.
ROLL CALL:' Present: Mayor Pro -tem Robert G. Griffith, Councilman Larry Tonn,
Councilman Mike Robinson, Councilman Tom Lopez, and Councilman Steve Pena. Absent:
Mayor Ray Litton and Councilman Pete Correa. Also present: City Manager James
Samuelson and City Attorney Stephan Sheets.
WORK SESSION: 3A. Consider discussion of an ordinance increasing water rates for
-residential, commercial and industrial customers. James Samuelson gave areport on the
information gathered as far as was available. The information given dealt with bonding
capacity as it would be affected by the various amounts of increase. Samuelson stated
that he had no recommendations as of this meeting but hoped a full report could be ready
by the first meeting in October. Samuelson went on to say that he would not bring
anything incomplete to the Council and if all necessary information was not available
by the October 12th meeting then the study would be presented at the following meeting.
Councilman Tann stated that he would like to see a pregressive schedule. Samuelson
stated that a rate study was needed on the garbage and sewer rates.
3B. Consider discussion of an ordinance granting Eastside Water Company a franchise
to construct, maintain and operate a water utility business and system in the City of
Round Rock. Jim Mills, Vice -President of Provident Development Company,'brought an
ordinance before the Council that would provide an alternative to the ordinance proposed
at the regular meeting held September 14, 1978. This alternative would provide a
means for others, not just Provident or Eastside Water Company, to develop a water
system in the City of Round Rock. The City would maintain and own the system after it
was on line. C. W. McCarty, a Round Rock resident and State Health Department employee,
stated that the water would be suitable for public use if the preliminary plans had
been approved by the Health Department. When the Health Department approves the water
system it means the water is chemically acceptable and biologically safe. Councilman
Tonn and Councilman Robinson both stated that further work and study was needed. Mills
stated he would work with staff and try to have the ordinance ready for formal presentation
by the next regular meeting September 28, 1978.
3C. Consider discussion of the 60 day moratorium on building permits in the City
of Round Rock. The present moratorium will be up October 24, 1978. Samuelson stated that
"everything -looks good now" but recommended that the moratorium be held in obeyance
until the completion of the wells. Jack Hazzard, local builder, suggested strongly
that the Council "study what other cities are doing" and "make your decisions on
quantitatable facts." Clint Autry suggested the Council get other professional input
that just city staff. The Council agreed that the water would be the bottom line
maker concerning the lifting of the moratorium.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 9:45 P.M.

WHEREAS, the City may deny the approval of franchises to private enterprise to
operate such alternate systems within the City, and such denial would then
encourage such alternate systems outside the city limits , and

Dear Mayor Litton:
I would like to recommend that the Round Rack City Council adopt a policy of
recognizing the service provided Round Rock by retiring members of City boards
and commissions.
Specifically, I recommend that retiring members of bodies such as the Planning
and Zoning Commission who served a full term be recognized with a suitably
inscribed plaque. Retiring members serving less than a full term might be
recognized with a framed certificate. All should receive a letter of appreciation.
From personal experience, I know the amount of time and effort these responsible
citizens devote freely to their city. Their service deserves this recognition.
If such a policy is adopted, I recommend it be made retroactive to at least
include those members of the Planning and Zoning Commission who completed their
service in April 1978.

PUBLTC HEARINGS: 7A. Consider citizen testimony concerning a request to rezone 6.773
W„wacres of land out of the J.M. Harrell Survey from "R-1" Single-Family Residential District
to "B-1" General Business District and other related zoning matters (Russell Koontz) . The
first person to speak was Don Wilson. Mr. Wilson stated that he felt it an "injustice" that
a property owner be required to get Council approval before changing a historical structure
on his property. He further stated that he felt the decision should be left up to the
latitude of the owner to do with the property as he wishes. Wilson said he was speaking
only of the historical zoning and not for or against the Koontz situation.
Gordon Perez stated that he had five 'points to bring before the Council : 1) Koontz
has never been present or had a representative be present at any Planning and Zoning or
Council meeting where the zoning situation has been discussed; 2) the Planning should not
act as a liason between the P&Z and zoning change applicant, 3) it is questionable whether
Nd,vember 21, 1978
or not Koontz, actually owns the property; 4) no one knows what Koontz 'plans to do with the
"diving board area" in back of his property; ;and 5) no one knows what he plans to do with any
of his property. Perez further stated, "I am definitely against the rezoning."
Don Quick, a surrounding property owner, stated, "I would have considered the previous
zoning change request as spot zoning, but not so now. " He went on to 'say that with the
commercial zoning adjacently west of the Koontz property, that it would not be spot zoning.
He concluded, "I am in favor of the change.
The following recommendation was read from the Planning and Zoning Commission:
Recommendation ofapproval to the City Council to rezone the property to "B-1" subject
to the following conditions: 1) the area known .as Round Rock Bathing Beach be desig-
nated as a historical area; 2) the claim to the property ownership of the Bathing' .
Beach area be resolved to the satisfaction of -the City ;Council .
7B. Consider citizen 'testimony concerning a request to rezone 3.673 acres of land
out of the Wiley Harris Survey from "R-1" Single-Family Residential District to "R-2" Multi-
Family ResidentialDistrict (RFM Inc. ) . Don Wilson spoke on behalf of the zoning change.
The property is located at the corner of Bowman Road and County Road 115. The industry would
be a 68 bed nursing home employing professionals and semi-professionals. The industry would
not have any "ill affects" on the water and wastewater services. At this point Mr. Wilson
urged the Council to pass the zoning change and then introduced Grady Woolridge, Corporate
Agent for the applicant.
John Gordon, passed president of the Mesa Village Homeowner's Association, stated that his
group voted to not stress strong objections but that a few of the adjacent property owners
were not pleased with the situation.
The following recommendation was presented from the P&Z:
Recommendation ofapproval to the City Council to rezone the property to "R-2" and that
the rezoning be granted upon the beginning of .construction of a nursing home.
7C Consider citizen testimony concerning a request to rezone 0.<911 acres out of
a 3.47 acre tract in the David Curry Survey from 9-�2" Local Business ' District to "I-1
Light Industrial District (Bill Kitts). The following recommendation was presented from

for this man? Why are they bending over backwards and making deals?" James Samuelson stated,

ROW situation and done everything we've asked. " Samuelson further stated that Mrs. Koontz
t
was near death in a San Antonio hospital and Mr. Koontz had been by her side since she was

with the City. "

James G. Samuelson, Jr.
City Manager',
City of Round Rock
214 East Main Street
Round Rock, Texas 78664
Dear Mr. Samuelson:
This letter is to confirm our conversation .of last week concerning the relocation
of Texas Power and Light Company's distribution facilities along Farm Road 620
for its widening within the city limits of Round Rock.
Texas Power and Light Company is entitled to reimbursement for the relocation'
of those ;distribution facilities which were on private !property at the time the
relocation request was made. Those facilities that were on public property at
time of relocation request will be relocated at Texas Power and Light Company's
expense.
December 14, 1978
Attached is a color coded map showing these facilities within the city limits of
Round Rock.
The cost .for reimbursement of those facilities within the city limits of Round Rock
is $9,162.
After your review if you have any questions please feel free to call me.
The work authorization has been prepared and approved and is being held pending
the City of Round Rock's approval of reimbursement charges. As soon as concurrence
is secured please notify me in writing so that I might take the necessary steps
to have the work authorizaiton released for construction.
Sincerely,
/s/ W. H. Briggs , District Engineer
Mayor Robert G. Griffith
Round Rock City Council
214 E. Main Street
Round Rock, Texas 78664
Gentlemen:
The attached copy of Texas Power and LIght Company's correspondence dated June 23,
1978 and the corresponding Highway 620 Right-of-Way map showing the location of the
lines which need to be moved are enclosed for your information. These documents
are substantiation for agenda item number 81.
When the correspondence was initially received I forwarded the correspondence,
along with the corresponding map, to the commissioner Precinct 1 and requested
assistance from the County, if possible, to partially or in total defray the cost of
$9,162. After a considerable time the County returned the items to me with the
news that no assistance could be given due to the fact that the items that required
movement were within the city limits of Round Rock.
In as much as this expenditure was not included in the monies duly borrowed by the
City to pay for the Highway 620 Right-of-Way it is necessary that Council action
be taken which I recommend be taken in the form of approving the expenditure but
only when funds are available.
If I can be of any further assistance in this matter do not hesitate to contact me.
Yours very truly,
/s/ James G. Samuelson, Jr.
W. H. Briggs, district engineer with Texas Power and Light Company, appeared before
the Council to answer any questions the Council might have. Mr. Briggs explained that
anytime TP & L poles located on private property have to be moved the law provides that
TP & L has the right to be reimbursed. Briggs further explained that the poles that need
moving were calculated at the old ROW line and were therefore, on private property. The
Council questioned which state law provided the above mentioned regulation. Councilman
Tonn moved to table the disbursement until the City Attorney has had time to study the
law and report back at the next regular meeting, December 28, 1978. Councilman Burgan
seconded the motion. Councilman Robinson asked Mr. Briggs for a complete breakdown of
the project by the next meeting.

CITY MANAGER'S REPORT AND COUNCIL COMMENTS:
James Samuelson gave a progress report from Cablevi'si'on and stated that a letter
would be forthcoming the first of every month to enlighten the Council on the exact
progress and schedule.
The Lion's Club has requested that they be allowed to construct a building (J.e.
civic room) on City owned property. When plans are fully developed a proposal will be
presented to the Council .
Samuelson stated that the City has to date received $19,540.72 in parks donations
from developers in lieu of land. Presently the subdivision ordinance only states that
staff may "encourage" this type of participation and does not address a means whereby
the funds may be spent. This section needs to be amended. The Parks and Recreation
department is to study the situation and bring a recommendation back to the Council as
soon as possible.
Samuelson stated that it had come to his attention that there was only 2" asphalt
surface on Dragon Drive, even though the City's minimum requirement is 12" and a
minimum base of 6". There were 37 tests made throughout the City after the situation on
Dragon came to light. Since there were "obvious dscrepencies" , Smauelson requested that
core drilling be done and a report be made to the Council the December 28th meeting.
The City Manager suggested the City Attorney draw up a vehicle whereby a commission to
review the specifications that the City presently has be established. It would be.
made up of "trade people and professionals" and "would in no way interfere with. the
Planning and Zoning Commission. "
Mr. Samuelson gave the pumping levels at the wells and also explained that the water
bills were not mailed out until December 12th due to 3 weeks of computer down time.
The Council was invited to dinner at City Hall Friday December 22nd at 12:00 Noon..
It will be the employees' Christmas dinner.
Mayor Griffith stated that the $300,000 made available to the City by the Water
Development Board would be received December 15, 1978 at 10:00 A.M. in Austin at City
National Bank Building.
Donations for the Library are still being made.
The City cookbooks , sponsored by the Parks and Recreation department, are available
for $3.50 each.
Councilman Tonn requested that something be put on the December 28th. agenda
concerning "pending legislation concerning water distribution,"
Councilman Robinson questioned dates that the City would advertise for parks
equi'pment and fire trucks. This can begin after the first of the year. By state law
a City may not accept any bids: before the money is in hand.
Councilman Robinson explained a breakfast meeting with the Georgetown City Council
and staff. It was a "very informal , very informative and positive meeting." The topic
of discussion was water acquisition from the North Fork. Reservoir.
The old library building will be torn down as soon as Al Hughes is contacted and
his arrangements are made. Mr. Hughes has volunteered to tear down the building free
of charge.
Councilman Correa stated the street sign on Bagdad and Mays needs to be put up.
There being no further business the meeting adjourned at 8:45 P.M.

District. Paul Gambrel stated that the property in -question was located at the corner, of
McNeil Road and Round Rock West Drive just west of the Featherlite Plant.
Charles Lambert, representing the property owner, Buddy Priesmeyer, stated that his
client would agree to a B-1 zoning on the frontage portion of the property but would
request a "B-2" zoning on the remainder of the property. Lambert stated that at present
Mr. Priesmeyer has a contract pending with a 7-Eleven convenience store for the southeast
December 28, 1978'
corner of the property, therefore accepting the buffer and "B=2" zoning would be in
keeping with the plans made by the owner'
Paul Gambrel told the Council that a mini survey of the area was done and a;major
study of the. entire City was also done. The Planning and Zoning Commission adopted the
staffs recommendation of B-1 with a willingness to consider possible satisfactory of
selective "B-2" uses in this area if compatible. "B-1," would allow interpretation for
the Board of Adjustment. Gambrel further stated that according to General Plan studies
the property in question was definitely located in Intensity 'Area l3 and that 9-1"
was most nearly synonymous with Intensity Area 3.
Gambrel further stated that all adjacent property owners had been notified and no
response by way of mail had been received. There had been 2 telephone calls from 'persons
not in the mail out area expressing pleasure of the "B-1" recommendation'.
Buddy Priesmeyer, property owner, stated that he had considered mini-warehouses for
the property and he felt they would cause less traffic; f16w than other businesses.'
He further stated he had inverted a considerable amount of money in the property ;and that
he felt a "B-2" zoning was the "best solution. "

CITY'' MANAGER' S REPORT & COUNCIL COMMENTS
The rotary system for public announcements has been delayed due to lines being
unavailable from Southwestern Bell . The system will be implemented as soon as lines
available
Water wells continue to remain at a high level .
The street testing program still continuos. Least acceptable test so far is
3/8" pavement over 1" base. Some results have been seven from the City"s action,
December 28, -1978"y
The Brushy Bend Water Contract has been sold to MUD #2. The City Attorney has
the document for a recommendation on its validity. A report should be considered at
the January 11th meeting.
Samuelson made the following recommendation to the Council for their consideration:
1) On February 1, 1979, or as soon as possible thereafter, the City should
sell $833,000.00 in revenue bonds and disburse the proceeds in the following
manner:
a) $300,000.00 to pick up the Certificates of Obligation from Water
Resources;
b) $500,000.00 to effectively complete the initial needs of the Urban
Services Plan.
2) As soon as possible after the above-mentioned issue the City should issue
the necessary amount of Certificates of Obligation to build an interim waste-
water treatment plant, at a site next to the present plant to serve until
a regional plant can be built on a site to the east of town.
3) In addition, the City needs to establish a civil defense warning system to
provide a more adequate warning system to residents for any disaster
especially a railroad derailment.
The computer the City presently has is not meeting requirements as set forth in
the bid submitted by Burroughs. The situation, stated Samuelson, is, "not unpalatable
but unsatisfactory. " The City Attorney and Finance Director were requested, by the
City Manager, to look into the situation and discharge Burrough's if the matter was not
remedied. Councilman Pena questioned if the contract would be voidable immediately.

consensus of the Council that Burroughs be notified that satisfaction occurin 30 days
or the contract will be voided.

to review the document and make any recommendations and/or requests for additional
information through the Director of Finance before the presentation of the final audit

OLD BUSINESS:
10A. Consider a' recommendation concerning the Brushy Bend Contract'. Steve Sheets
stated that former City Manager, James Samuelson, had asked him to review the "assignment"
of the Brushy Bend Contract. In part a letter from Mr .Sheets is 'as' follows :
"In my opinion, this "assignment" and supporting resolution accomplish
nothing as far as the City is concerned. As ! I pointed out in a
previous memo to Mr. Samuelson, the original , contract provided that
Brushy Bend had the right to assign the contract to "a public entity
or to a private utility company. " Since Hyland North does not fist
under either of these categories , it was, and is , my opinion that a
purported assignment of the contract from Brushy Bend to Hyland
North was ineffective as it concerned the City. It logically
follows that if that assignment was ineffect6ve than this purported
assignment from Hyland North to theiM.U.D. i equally ineffective. "
Mr. Sheets went on to say that the problem was a procedural one and should be
turned back over to Brushy Bend and the M.U.D. Cab Callaway representing Hyland North
stated that he did not see this to be a problem.

Councilman Tonn moved to recommend that the City Attorney handle the situation and

"Enclosed please find a letter and license agreement from Missouri-
Pacific Railroad Co. which you sent to me for my study. After
studying the letter, the license agreement, and the applicable
statutory and case laws it is my opinion that the amount requested
by Missouri-Pacific is excessive and that if necessary, the City of
Round Rock has the legal authority to condemn an easement interest
along and across said right-of-way. It is also my opinion that if
such a condemnation suit were prosecuted to a final jury verdict
that the jury's verdict would be considerably less than $500.00 per
year. "

PUBLIC HEARINGS:
6A. Consider citizen testimony concerning a request to rezone 5.633 acres
out of the J.M. Harrell Survey from "R-1" Single-family Residential District to "B-2"
Local Business District (Michael Bennett). Planning Director Paul Gambrel stated
that this tract of land is located north of 620 across from the high school and the
Grisham tract. The tract adjacent to the west was previously rezoned to "B-1". The
Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of a "B-1" rezoning rather than
the requested "B-2". The tract that was previously rezoned received fill material
some time back. Several concerned citizens requested that a study be done to determine
if there had been an encroachment by the fill material as far as the 100 year floor
plain was concerned. It was determined that there was an encroachment area on the
previously zoned tract. Michael Bennett agreed to take care of the situation. Gambrel
further explained that Water Resources and the City would jointly monitor the effort.
David Woerton, 1315 Ledbetter, stated that he and Mike Bennett had 183 feet
of common property line. He further said that he would "encourage the Council to
sustain the high quality of life Round Rock presently enjoys." Woerton stated he
would be against the rezoning if it would allow the same situation as on the pre-
viously rezoned lot. Mr. Woerton brought a bag of trash from the property as visual
1
January 25, 1079
a
evidence for the Council
Also, speaking against the request was Laura Bemis who "totally concurred" with
Mr. Woerton.
Carlos Higgins, attorney for Mike Bennett, stated that Mr.: Bennett has tried,
on numerous occassions to 'stop the dumping on the previously rezoned lot but to no
avail . He has contacted the police department ;for their assistance inthe, matter.
Franklin Anderson was concerned with 'the type ofbusiness that would be
situated on the property. His main concern was that beer would be sold so close to
the high school .
A Little Oaks resident, Lynn Murphy, was concerned with the traffic problems'
incurred by a business being on the north side of Highway 620.
David Woerton stated he felt everyone's main concern was "to maintain the
integrity of Brushy Creek ';and the welfare of our children. "
Paul Gambrel explained that the proposed traffic study suggested a bridge
connecting; Clark Street and Lake Creek Drive. The Planning and Zoning Commission
suggested it be re-written to connect 620 and Sam Bass Road. Mike Bennett is willing
to move the building site ';over to accommodate a bridge if the P & Z decides the first
listed alternative is more feasible.'
i
Deed restrictions were brought up ,by Dorothy Umbrger. Mike Bennett
explained that the restrictions do say "no beer, wine or petroleum products. "
Co-owners, ,Mike Bennett and Mike Bowers, stated that they had no desire to
destroy the creek or environment and would be willing to erecta fence at the rear
of the property if so desired.
Councilman Burgan questioned ,the status' of the Traffic light at 620 and Lake
Creek Drive. Gambrel explained it will be established in conjunction with the
widening of 620 when it reaches the Lake CreekDrive intersection.
Gordon Perez, P & Z member, stated he felt the Council should take a closer
look at the rezoning before making a decision.
No ''further 'discusson.

j I
back in final form. j

Rock has some=;strong and weak points. It is average as far as cities I have done
studies, for."'
Four way stops were discussed by the Council and Nr. Nolan.
i
Signal lights will be taken "pretty well on a priority basis."
3C. Consider discussion concerning a CIVIL DEFENSE DISASTER PLAN for the City
of Round Rock. David Rose, Fire Marshal', went over the proposed ordinance with t'e
Council. The,proposed ordinance is an update of the City's 1961 ordinance. The lan
itself will be compatable with the State plan. Rose explained the plan will be u�dated
on a yearly basis'. j
Colonel Robinson and Colonel Logan of the Texas State Guard, appeared before the
Council requesting a disaster prepared exercise be held in the City Sunday, Aprilllst,
from 1:00 to 5:00 P.M. This exercise will give the local people a chance to participate
in a simulated situation.

i
opportunity to have assistance in the drill.
It was the consensus of the Council to proceed with the !simulated disaster.
3D. Consider discussion concerning a PARKS ORDINANCE for the City of RoundlRock.
Mario Seminara, Director of Parks and Recreation, stated that the ordinance presented

Ben Haner, P&Z member, stated lie felt comfortable with the ordinance and felt
there 'would be no implementation problems.

Section 3 area. Paul Gambrel stated that during a P&Z meeting held February 1st the
Commission members unanimously approved a motion to recommend that the Council adopt
a resolution to suspend the issuance of building permits in Round Rock West Section 3
presently zoned "I-2" for a period not to exceed 90 days. This recommendation wi�l1
enable the Planning staff to prepare "site-specific recommendations as to permanent
zoning throughout the general Round Rock West Section 3 area."
Steve Sheets, stated that there was definite legaliprecedence for the action
i
recommended.
In answering Councilman Pena's question concerning; the mechanics of the study,
Gambrel stated that the study would begin with an initial "pass" by the staff and then
property owners would be consulted and P&Z work sessions would occur.
Buddy Priesmeyer, a land owner whose property wasrecently rezoned "B-111,
spoke with the Council concerning his zoning restrictions. He �would like the Council
to look once again more closely at his request for "B-2" when the roll-back is considered.

system.
Larry Ohls, district manager for Burrough s, was on hand to answer Council
questions concerning the computer system"
al , ,
February 5, 1979
Councilman Pena questioned the time table given the City by Burrough's. Payroll
was to be on by January 1, 1979 and the water billing and budgetary was to be functioning
properly by October 1, 1978, also taxes were scheduled to' beput on for this next tax
season. As of this date only water billing and payroll have been implemented.
It was stated that the system presently would be unable to handle the taxes if
Round Rock had anymore growth. Councilman Pena stated that the Council had made it very
clear that the system purchased would handle all four systems (tax, wateri.payroll and
budgetary) .
Larry Ohls stated that Burrough's had made a mistake and would furnish the City
with a B800 free of charge. The computer referenced would have larger hardware
capabilities but would handle the present software plus other software necessary.
The Council questioned the "screens" sold the City to use at the utility desk to
monitor a utility bill. Ohls explained those screens were delivered but were not made
for the present system.
Councilman Pena said that the City still could not be guaranteed that the budgetary
system would work. The City has already paid out $7,200 plus education and half the
system is still not on.
Councilman Tonn stated, "we are not at afpoint of wanting to work on a ragged
edge." He suggested that a sub-committee be appointed to "enumerate the City's options."
Councilman Tonn, Councilman Pena, Sam Huey and Steve Sheets were appointed to such a
committee to work up the written needs of the City.
Mayor Griffith stated the "computer situation had turned into a political football,"
and he would like to see the situation resolved as soon as possible.
3G. Consider discussion of the Texas Power and Light Company request for payment
on the 620 ROW project. Bob Bennett stated that he and Mr. Sheets met with TP&L
representatibes and that the staff recommends that TP&L be paid $8,749.00. There was
still some questions as to ownership but .if the payment was not made there was a
possibility that the entire project could be held up.
Mayor Griffith enlightened the Council on House Bill 585 dealing with public
utilities. The bill in essence says that the PUC should have exclusive right to make
utility rate decisions and not the City.
There being no further business the meeting was adjourned at 8:13 P.M.

Dear Mrs. .and
our company is still investigating office site locations and tower site
locations.' We have looked at seven;different spots of which five did
not meet out satellite recieve station technical specifications. We are
nearly 100% sure at this time that we will have two sites, one for the
office and. one for our pick-up tower and our earth receive station.
This is really no problem, although;we did prefer to have everything
combined at one site.
We are submitting this week preliminary material bids based`;on our strand
maps and this month will be p'laeing,blanket orders for cable and amplifiers
in that these are long-lead items. Once we establish our office site
location, we can pick a contractor. It is my personal target and a real
possibility to have a ground--breaking ceremony in ,the month of 'March
prodding,;, of course, that we can locate a suitable site.
We are interviewing several people inside our organization and also other
individuals for job positions in our Round Rock system. We hope to have
February 8, 1979 ;
two of the key people selected by April. When this occurs, I will be
bringing those individuals to Round Rock for introduction and orientation
to the community.

Computer Company had been received. That bid was for an IBM ,System 34 Model C23
with 2 IBM cahtode ray tubes in the amount of $64,000. Huey also stated that the
following proposal in letter form had been received from Burroughs:
Dear Sirs:
This letter is lin reference to our meeting of March 27, '1979 'concerning the
status of the City of Round Rock's computer installation. The following is
a list of items as set forth in that meeting necessary to complete the
installation satisfactorily. Burroughs Cororation is prepared to commit
the necessary hardware, software, and technical support in order to meet
these requirements
I. Hardware
A. Replace the B 80 processor with a B 800 Central 'Processor and Operator
Work :Station. (Estimated delivery - May 15, 1979)
March 29, 1979
B. Replace 18.8 MB Disk Drive with a 28.2 MB Disk Drive.
II Currently Installed Applications' Enhancements
A. Routine to better handle the city's requirements for FICA reimbursement
to employees.
B. Routine for automatically computing average water consumption based
on selected five month period for the calculation of sewer charges.
C. Routine to automatically bill monthly sewer charges as opposed to
monthly manual entry of the charges.
D. Automatic update of general ledger accounts from the appropriation
and revenue modules and financial statements as required.
III. Tax Billing System
A. Tax billing program to be delivered on or before May 30, 1979. The
options available to the City of Round Rock at that point will be:
1. Set up tax accounts for 1979 taxes on the B 800.
2. Set up tax accounts for a 1979 dual run on the B 800 and your
current system.
B. The conversion from the current system to the B 800 may be accomplished
by either manual entry of existing files or thru a conversion program.
If a conversion program is desired it will be necessary for the City
of Round Rock to obtain existing files on magnetic tape and to contract
for the writing of a conversion program.
IV. Other Requested Items
A. Source files for all Burroughs software.
B. B 800 Cobol and RPG compilers.
C. Burroughs CMS Reporter System.
The items listed above, with the exception of a tax file conversion program,
will be provided to the City of Round Rock by Burroughs Corporation with
no additional investment required.
Burroughs Corporation asks for agreement by the City of Round Rock to this
proposal and that Burroughs Corporation be released from claims arising
prior to installation of the B 800 system.
Sincerely,
/s/ Curtiss McAdams
Branch Manager
Austin General Accounts Branch
Huey stated that the staff felt the letter unacceptable and asked for additional
items from Burroughs by setting out specific requirements. Councilman Pena questioned
whether Burroughs had a tax package that works. Huey stated, "No, sir. Burroughs does
have one that works in the northern states. Burroughs stated the City would have
'full support' during the initial process." IBM does have a tax package that has been
proven. The City would probably be able to handle its own taxes by next year with
the right equipment.
Sam Huey was asked for his opinion of the two systems. The 8800 series is a
good system and is equal to or even a little larger that the System 34. If the City
goes with the IBM system the City personnel will have: to be retrained, not so with
the Burroughs B800.
Councilman Pena stated that he felt a counter proposal should be drawn up and
forwarded to Burroughs. Steve Sheets said he would prefer to draft the contract himself.
Councilman Pena moved to table the Bluebonnet Computer Company bid and continue,
as quickly as possible, negotiations with Burroughs and have something concrete in writing,
drawn up by the City Attorney, before the decision is made by the Council . Councilman
Robinson seconded the motion.

to April 7, 1979. Mayor Griffith' went overthe requirements as set forth' in the
City's noise ordinance and then read the following to the Council :
"I am requesting permission for the use of a mobile public address
system to be used in my vehicle. 'The system will be used in my
campaign and for the purpose of encouraging people to vote on .,
April 7th.
My plans are to use it, starting March 30 throughout April 7, 1979."
/s/Lawrence Hester
Mr. Hester was present to represent his request. He stated that he had no
intention of using the system on Sunday or after about 7:30 or 8:00 P.M. and that he
would be driving the vehicle, 90% of the time himself. He did stress that one of his
major concerns was to encourage voter turn out at the April 7th election.
Mayorial 'candidate, Gordon Perez, stated, "I don't see it as 'a big nuisance but
friendly reminder." Other mayorial candidate marry Tonn said he felt it would
be in the "public welfare to have a good turn out at the polls. "
Councilman Tonn moved to authorize the request with the stipulations that it
would be used 'between March ,30 and April 7th only,' that' the system would not be used
on Sunday, that �t could; not be used after 8:00 P.M. on any evening and that if a
:
problem does occur the Chief of Police should approach Mr. Hester and at that point

RECESS TO WORK SESSION
WORK SESSION:
6A. Consider discussion concerning creating an option wheretbuilders would
install water and sewer taps. City Manager Bob 'Bennett stated that the staff's
proposal would be a new procedural system. The subdivider's contractor would make
the tap and then the City would simply go out and hook the tap in To hook the tap
in the City could .send one roan instead of the procedure now followed; that is having
to send a crew and back-hoe ,to the lot where the tap has been requested. The prices
would change and this procedure would be 'followed in only new subdivisions. Bennett
stated that he felt the City needs this procedure to stay ahead.
Jim Mills, local developer,stated, "We can do it so much cheaper in a whole
subdivision that the City can on 'a one to one basis." It would also held in the timing
of placing the taps.

is encouraging. The BRA Board meeting will be held in July. Bennett will ask the
water attorney to appear before the Council at one of the April meetings to advise
the Council his progress.

exacerbate the problem. Planning standards for a town of 12,000
population indicate a City Hall space requirement of 8660 square feet.
The bank contains 8500 square feet.
2) The Police Department, which could be housed in the Post Office building,
is currently quartered in 748 square feet. A small residential house
usually contains 900 square feet. The City currently employs 17 police
personnel . The Post Office contains 2833 square feet.
3) The City Shop area is in need of expansion as the number of cars, trucks
and various pieces of equipment increases.
Community Space:
There is currently no community meeting space in Round Rock. There
should be a municipal meeting room of 1500 square feet for civic clubs,
etc. , to meet. Community space would exist on the second floor of the
Library with the purchase of Farmers State Bank.
No Municipal Parking:
The parking problem downtown is expected to worsen. A municipal parking
lot is needed now to accommodate the new Library and downtown business
activities. The Farmers State Bank property will allow for 120 additional
parking spaces.
Conclusion:
The question of "What will become of downtown?" has recently surfaced
as an issue in our town. Surely, in the dialogue that continues on the
downtown area, "City Hall ", the heart of any vibrant and healthy city, will
be considered an asset. And just as surely, "City Hall" should remain
downtown. The City is presently being afforded an opportunity to expand
the "City Hall " at a cost that will save our citizenry thousands of dollars
over the near future. Added to this is the opportunity of securing a municipal
parking area that can serve a changing downtown and a new Library. Most
assuredly, the purchase of the Farmers State Bank is in the highest interest
of our citizens and their unique downtown.
At this point the Council would only be giving the staff permission to negotiate.
Conversion costs will be gathered and hopefully completed by the April 26th meeting.
Councilman Robinson moved to authorize the City Attorney to proceed with negotiations
and also ascertain conversion costs. The motion was seconded by Councilman Correa.

located on U.S. 79. David Rose, Fire Marshal , went over the State requirements
concerning sprinkler systems. The following letter was read by Mayor Tonn:
March 19, 1979
Mr. Paul Gambrel
Planning Department
City of Round Rock
214 East Main Street
Round Rock, TX 78664
RE: SPRINKLER SYSTEM FOR WEINER'S DEPARTMENT STORE, ROUND ROCK SHOP-
PING CENTER, ROUND ROCK, TEXAS.
Dear Mr. Gambrel :
We are requesting a variance to the Building Code Requirements for the
Sprinkler System to be installed in the Weiner's Department Store in
the above referenced shopping center.
We have acquired "flow tests" from Grinnel Fire Systems on existing
fire hydrants at both the front and the rear of the project on two
separate occasions; you, yourself have consulted engineers on the mat-
ter.
It all adds up to the fact that the City of Round Rock cannot, at this
time, deliver the necessary water requirements to support a fire sprink-
ler system that will conform to the State's requirements.
We see no need to install an inadequate system for the sake of conform-
ing to the code, a system that will not meet State requirements, or give
adequate protection for which the code was intended.
Thank you for your,attention to this matter.
April 12, 1979
Yours truly,
/s/R.J. Fellows, Partner
Allied Development Co.
Tom Cummins, representing Allied Development Company, made' a presentation.
Councilman Robinson asked if an aver-sized line would help solve the problem, if
in fact there was a pressure problem, and then the, sprinkler system could be put in
Staff very strongly recommended denying the variance and asked to pursue increasing
the main line from a '6 to an 8".
Councilman Robinson n ob nson moved to deny the e variante request. The motion was seconded
by Councilman Burgan.'

and Councilman Bill Burgan. Absent: Mayor Larry Tonn, Councilman Pete Correa,
Councilman Tom Lopez and Councilman 'Steve Pena'. Also present: City Manager Bob Bennett
and City Attorney Steve Sheets'.
WORK SESSION
Mayor Pro-tem asked that items 3A and 3B be considered later in the meeting.
The rest of the Council agreed'.
3G Consider discussion of extendinq Extra-Territorial Jurisdiction of Round Rock,
Texas to include a tract of land known as the Walsh tract or Brushy Creek 'North at the
petition of the property owners. Paul Gambrel', Planning Director, stated ,that the planning
staff was ready to make a favorable recommendation on the request. The 'City will make
no promises by including this tract in the City's ETJ. Be bringing the tract into the
City's ETJ they (the subdividers) will have to meet the City of 'Round Rock subidivion
and building standards, which exceed those of Dustin. The next step the Council needs
to take would be formal action in the form of an ordinance, at the regular meeting held
April 26, 2979.
There has been some interest shown by the Mayfield Brothers in the same type of
situation. They are contemplating requesting to be included in the Round Rock ETJ.
3A. Consider discussion of a rate increase request by Lone Star Gas 'Company.
Mr. Bill Smith, district manager for Lone Star Gas, and Mr. Quinton Hicks', rate specialist
for Lone Star 'Gas, appeared before the Council and gave a short presentation as to why
Lone Star Gas was asking for a' 31.2% rate increase, for both residential and commercial
customers.
Sam Huey, City Finance Director,' stated that he had spent some time with Don
Butler of the Texas Municipal League staff, and that through their research that they
would recommend giving an increase between 10% and 15%
April 23, 1979
This item was placed on the agenda for April 26, 1979 and will be considered for
action at that time.
3B. Consider discussion of a budget revision for the fiscal year 1978-1979.
Sam Huey presented the Council with a rough copy of the proposed revised budget. Since
the Council had not had a chance to look over the document, it was decided that discussion
would be held during the regular session, April 26, 1979. Huey did note, however, that
a 71 cost of living rate increase had been incorporated in the document, for all City
employees. Also, in some cases, merit increases were given.
3D Consider discussion of a Building Board of Adjustments. Paul Gambrel made tie
t presentation. The City of Round Rock presently has two Board of Adjustments and Appeals,
which deals with variances in the building code. One was established by Ordinance No. 290
and one is established in the Southern Standard Building Code, which was adopted by the
City. The staff felt it a good opportunity to repeal Ordinance No. 290 and appoint
members to the Board created by the Southern Standard Building Code. The board would
consist of 5 members; 1 architect, 1 general contractor and 3 members at large from
the building industry.
Also, the Council needs to consider appointments to the Board of Adjustments which
deals with zoning variances. The same people oould serve on both the Boadr of Adjust-
ments and the Board of Appeals and meet the same night be merely having separate agendas.
This item was placed on the agenda under appointments for the April 26th meeting.
3E. Consider discussion of a provision in the Subdivision Ordinance requiring a
two year bond on construction. Bob Bennett stated that it had been the policy of the City
to accept a one year maintenance agreement instead of the two year as stated in the
Subdivision Ordinance.
Chris Gard, Director of Public Works, stated that if proper inspection had been
done to begin with, then the warranty length would not really be a big problem. Gard
further stated that his department was trying to address several areas and that the
inspection of the streets and utilities in subdivisions was one of the area$. He stated
that staff could "live with" a one year warranty.
Bob Bennett stated that this could be one of the first steps in getting the subdivision
ordinance updated.
There being no further business the meeting adjourned at 8:10 P.M.

Treatment Plant. Bob Bennett explained that thie 'would be the regional ,plant that had
been discussed several times at various meetings, This plant would be located on the
Rossow property, which the City is in the process of acquiring.
7B. Consider citizen testimony' concerning the plan to zone the ' proposed Remainder
of Round Rock.. North Industrial Business' Park Annexation to "I-1" Licht Industrial
April 26, 1979
District (,30.76-1 acres) . Nancy McBeth of the Planning Department gave the location of the
property and explained that the first portion of the Business Park had already been
annexed and zoned. There were no further comments.
7C Consider citizen testimony concerning a plan to rezone certain tracts of land
in the Round Rock West Section 3 general area. Nancy McBeth stated that the 5 tracts
before the Council for consideration were Tract A to "B-1", Tract B to "B-1", Tract C
to "B-1", Tract G (Featherlite site) remain at "I-2" and Tract L to "R-2". This would
be a graduated land use pattern for the area and the "B-1" and "R-2" would be a buffer
into the residential area.
t
Ted Metzler, 602 Lime Rock, representing about 100 residents of Round Rock West,
stated that his group would favor all but one of the rezonings; that one being the
Featherlite tract. His group asked the Council to change the zoning from "I-2" to "B-111.
If the request was followed it would restrict further expansion of Featherlite in that
area.
Kay Garrett, another Round Rock West resident, questioned the validity of the con-
tractors year owned by Glenn Neans. Bob Bennett went over the sequence of events
leading up to the present concerning that particular lot. A permit was issued and the
year legally constructed under "I-2" zoning which at the time the permit was issued
was the zoning of the lot.
Mr. Hall from Round Rock West stated that large trucks are going down Deer Run
and Bluff Drive and tearing up the streets. He asked the Council to please do something
about the truck situation.
There being no further comments the public hearing moved to the next item.
7D. Consider citizen testimony concerning a plan to revise the authorized use
list for Districts 'B-1" General Business District and "I-2" Heavy Industrial District.
Nancy McBeth explained that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended the following
revisions in the authorized use lists for the "B-1" and "I-2" categories: to "B-1" add
1) furniture stores, and 2) wholesale offices restricted to enclosed storage and sales;
to "I-2" add any non-residential use authorized in the "I-1" Light Industrial District.
Ted Metzler requested that the work "enclosed" before the word "storage" removed
and phrase the statement so that the meaning would be in a completely enclosed building.
There being no further comments the public hearings were closed.
RESOLUTIONS AND PROCLAMATIONS:
8A. Consider a_proclamation proclaiming the week of April 29, 1979 through May

Mkke Grimes, representing the Soccer Association who requested this agreement, asked
that the resolution be expanded to include an agreement letter between the City and the
Soccer Association, to guarantee his Association use of the land during their soccer
season.
It was stated that the Little League would be welcomed to use the land when it was
not in use by the Soccer Association.

Dear Bob:
This is a request for payment of an oversized sewer main in Chisholm Valley South
April 26, ' 1979
Section 1 subdivision. My engineer thought it was necessary for future development
of the city system to the west. The plans have been presented and approved by the

complete very soon. This is an increase from 8" to 10" for 1735 feet of S.D.R. #35

I think this is a good investment for the future development of the system.
Yours truly,

OLD BUSINESS:
10A. Consider a status report on the proposed Williamson'County Water Authority.
Mayor Tonn informed the Council that the proposed legislation had passed out of the Natural
Resource Committee of the Senate but still had to go through the House. The Committee made
one change in the proposal as set forth by the Council ; that change being the work "existing"
was deleted from the first amendment making it read, "that the Authority only be authorized
to sell water to municipalities or FmHA financed water systems." The other items of concern
-; were left in. He also stated that it was his understanding that James Samuelson had volun-
teered to step down from the Board of Directors in order for Bob Bennett to be placed on that
Board.
Councilman Pena asked if there was anything the City should be doing right now in
order to show support of the legislation. Mayor Tonn stated he felt no further action by
the Council needed to be taken at this particular time. Councilman Pena stated that he would
like to see some type of communications opened up so that everyone could be kept abreast of
what was happening. He further stated, "I don't want any doors shut because of lack of
communications. " Mayor Tonn stated that he would be in constant touch with Representative
Kubiak's office as well as Senator Patman's.
If the legislation goes through the House, a confirmation election and election of
the Board of Directors would be held simultaneously in November.
10B. Consider discussion of the ambulance situation. Councilman Robinson stated
that he had requested that this item be placed on the agenda becuase there is a definite
problem in that the ambulance is taking too long to respond to a Round Rock call .
Bob Bennett stated that he had talked with County Commissioner Carl Lidell and the
County will give Round Rock a fully equipped ambulance which the City will have to man. This
s
can be done by the paid firemen who are EMT's. The vehicle will be here in about two months
and will serve as supplement to the existing county systems NOT instead of the current system.
In other words it will be a first run unit for Round Rock and a back-up for the County.
IOC: Consider discussion of the delinquent tax situation and alternative means of
collection. Sam Huey, Finance Director, stated that he had been in contact with the Tax
Office and they had ordered the necessary forms to send out delinquent tax notices and that
the statements should go out around the 16th of May. The City now has $85,000 over all in
delinquent taxes outstanding and $35,000 in current year delinquencies.
City Attorney, Steve Sheets, stated that he had been studying the delinquent rolls
and that, in his opinion, the City should start the collection process with the recurring
delinquent accounts and then proceed with the more current accounts. He suggested that the
City first sent out a letter giving the tax payer 30 days to respond. If at the end of that
30 days period the tax payer has not responded then a law suit could be filed. Bob Bennett
echoed the City Attorney's statements.
Councilman Pena moved to instruct the City Attorney to pursue the collection of
the City's delinquent taxes and also have him contact the school concerning the collection
w thereof. Councilman Hester seconded the motion.

recommendations brought before you tonight from the Planning aid Zoning Commission
are not consistent 'with the wishes expressed at their public h aring". He asked

APPOINTMENTS: None
PUBLIC HEARINGS:

Rock West Section 3 General Area as more fully described under items 10F 'throu h,
10K, of this agenda. Joyce Stark, 900 :Lime Rock, stated the he main concern was
i
the safety of the children of the area and the truck traffic b ing toff "heavy" for ;
the area.
Paul Gambrel of the planning staff gave a 'brief explanation of the location
of the subject tracts and the proposed recommended zoning changes.
Jerry Pace, 801 Deer Run, stated that he felt all the tra is should not be
any higher zoning than a "B-1" General Business District.
June 14, 1979
Mary Martin Hauer, 1202 Bluff, stated, "I am of the opinion that all of the
zoning changes should be restricted to no greater than "R-2" Multi-family Residental".
Mrs. Hauer futher stated,"i would also like to remind the Council that under article
7 of th Charter the people have the power of initiative and referendum, which I fully
intend to implement if the vote of the City Council does not reflect the views and
wishes of the citizens of Round Rock."
Diana Foreman, 907 Bluff, stated she would like to see the entire 60.5 acres be
z
zoned "R-2" but that being realistic that the highest zoning should be "B-1".
D. Vakharia, 801 Bluff, stated that his residence backs right up to the
contractor's yard (tract E). He also stated that he would completely oppose tract E
being zoned "B-2" but would favor and "R-2" zoning with the contractors yard being
a non-conforming use.
Another Round Rock West resident stated that she would like to see nothing more
than a "B-1" zoning for the entire area.
Donna Menn, 1105 Lime Rock, stated she was never told that the entire area was
zoned industrial before she bought her home and would favor nothing over a "B-1"
zoning-. Menn also stated that she was mainly concerned for the children in the area.
Joyce Stark, 900 Lime Rock, stated, "'Why ruin our area by any industry?".
Gordon Perez, Planning and Zoning Commission member, stated that, "from day one
I have felt the entire area should be zoned "B-1". Gordon further stated that his
motion on the zoning at the P & Z meeting was defeated because other members of the
Commission, "stand to gain financially" from the zoning change.
Bill Noonan, 802 Deer Run, stated that he had put "faith and trust" in' the
real estate agent that sold him his home and was later stuned to find out that the
person had lied to him. He further stated, "Like in the movie Network, ' I'm mad as
hell and won't take it anymore' ."
Ted Metzler, 602 Lime Rock, stated that the contractors yard on tract E was built
"illegally" and that that the tract should be rezoned to "B-1" "period". "Tract D should
all be zoned "b-1" and that the proposed buffer on tract D was merely a token by the
City.
Mary ,Martin Hauer, 1202 Bluff, asked how many Councilmenbers had actually looked
at the subject tracts. All Councilmenbers present stated that they had physically
seen the entire area.
Jon Coffee, legal representative'of Glenn Neans, owner and developer of the
tracts in question, spoke next to the Council . He stated, "Don't be stampeded. Each
of you has a responsibility to represent every property owner in Round Rock including
my client, Mr. Neans." Coffee also stated that all the zoning was there when the
residents bought their homes and if they had bothered to look they would have seen
the "1-2" area.
Paul Gambrel gave a brief history of the process in which the recommendations
June 14, 1979
had been arrived at by the staff and Planning and Zoning Commission.
Tom Hauer, 1202 Bluff, stated that the past history "doe not have any function
here". "The original zoning was a mistake". He ;further stat( d he could live with the
Featherlite plant as they have "been a good neighbor", but he could not live with the
recommended zoningchanges. If the zoning goes through as pr posed, "you 'will be
developing an industrial slum." He further stated that he felt Gordon Perez was the
only P & Z member to represent the citizens wishes.
Steve Carter, 905 Blue Jay Way, P & Z member, explained lo the Council how the
Planning and Zoning Commission came to recommend the rollback ordinances;. ' He
further stated that from a planning and legal standpoint that the recommendations

OF ORDINANCES; PROVIDING FOR A TWO (2) YEARS PERFORMANCE
BOND AND A ONE (1 ) YEAR WARRANT BOND.
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROUND ROCK, TEXAS:
I.
That Chapter 8, Section 6.A. , of the Code of Ordinances, City of
Round`Rock Texas, is hereby amended to read as follows:
A. SUBDIVIDER TO RETAIN AN ENGINEER; OTHER REQUIREMENTS
(1 ) The subdivider shall retain the services of an engineer,
registered in the State of Texas, whose seal shall be placed on
each sheet of the drawings, and who shall be responsible for
the design and inspection of the drainage, roads and streets,
and sewer and water facilities within the subdivision. The
services performed by the engineer shall be as designated in
the 1967 issue of "Manual of Professional Practice - General
Engineering Service: , published by the Texas Society of Pro-
fessional Engineers, and shall include both design and inspection
as defined therein.
(2) The subdivider shall file with the City Engineer a perfor-
mance bond executed by a corporate surety licensed to do business
in the State of Texas, in an amount equal to the cost of the
uncompleted and unaccepted improvements required by this Chapter
as estimated by the City Engineer, conditioned that the subdivider

OLD BUSINESS:
11A. Consider discussion of additions to the 1979 Capita' Improvement Budget. :
June 14 1979 , s
Sam Huey went over the following facts and figures:
The following is an accounting of the uncommitted bond monies available
to the City.
$103,000.00 uncommitted General Obligation
$ 62,000.00 uncommitted Revenue Bonds 1979
$ 18,000.00 uncommitted Revenue Bonds 1978
$ 2,000.00 uncommitted Combination Bonds
This money is presently in the bank and can be drawn upon for capital
projects and capital equipment. The staff has gone over City needs and
recommends the money be spent on the following items.
Proposed expenditures of 1978-1979 Revenue Bonds
1) Mini-lift station $6,500. This allows the City to discontinue the
septic tanks located near the new Brushy Creek well and will tie
approximately 6 houses onto City sewer. This is required by the
Health Department.
2) Lilac Street water line replacement $1 ,400. Our water customers on
the South side of Lilac Street have ': rusty brown water. This is the
result of a hard freeze during the winter which dislodged "rust" from
the old galvinized line. By running a new line up Lilac we can fix
the current problem and allow the people on the Norht side, who are
also on a galvinized li-ne, to also tie into the new line.
3) 620 water line realignment $20,000. Water line in 620 ROW must be
moved to accommodate the new road.
4) Sam Bass Road sewer extension $15,000. The sewer line in Sam Bass
Road must be extended with the new _road construction otherwise we
will be quickly tearing up the new road to run sewer further west.
5) Sewer plant site purchase at present sewer site $6,000. The current
1 .4 MGD sewer plant on Brushy Creek must be expanded next year. We
need to purchase the site this year.
6) East Main sewer extension $7,169. The extension of sewer East to
Moya street has been "promised" for sometime. The City cannot build
this line and we must contract for the project.
7) McLester & Grisham water and sewer line extensions $25,000. The City
contracted with the 620 ROW Company to provide water and sewer in
exchange for 620 ROW. Engineering in advance of the contract never
occured and the lines are in rock. The approximate expenditure to
date is believed in excess of $80,000. An additional $25,000. is
required to complete the project.
Total Revenue Bond funds available $82,000
Proposed Revenue Bond expenditures 73,169
New Total Uncommitted $8,831
Proposed General Obligation Bond Expenditures
1 ) Railroad crossing $9,000 -. The railroad crossings on Sam Bass Road
and St. Williams in Bellview must be rebuilt to accommodate the new
paving.
2) Main and Sheppard reconstruction $10,000. The street in front of the
new library should be reconstructed where it sank and the site needs to
be curbed. The entire intersection needs to be reworked.
3) 620 curbing $8,000. The 'State is going to extend the 620 construction
to the Interstate. The section from the I35 bridge to the Railroad
crossing should be curbed to better handle storm water and to dress up
a major entrance into the City.
4) Street equipment $50,000. The street department remains in poor shape
concerning equipment. I have requested the Director of Public Works to
put together a sound and well functioning street department. We feel
this may be our last chance to put a well organized and properly equiped
street department together. For streets it really is now or never. We
stand to lose a major.investment. We recommend the purchase of a) one
wheel loader for $31 ,500; b) one dump truck for $14,000; and c) asphalt
tanks for $5,000. This would be total $50,500.
a June 14, 1979
GO Bond funds available $103,000
Proposed GO Bond expenditure 771500
New Total Uncommitted $25,500
The council agreed for staff to proceed.
11B. Consider discussion of an 'amendment' to the recent Lone Star Gas rate
increase. This item will be considered at the'June' 25th work session.
11C. Consider staff recommendation and discus'si'on of the Post Office site.
Paul Gambrel stated that the proposed site was located at the corner of West
Anderson Avenue and Lee street. The Planning Staffirecommend d that the subject
tract not be ;authorized as a post office site 'because primari y of a heavy
traffic problem. The Council agreed to, authorized Gambrel to send 'a letter to
the Post Office officials stating the above mentioned posi ti o .
NEW BUSINESS;
12A. Consider accepting the low bid of PAK-,MOR Manufacturing Company in
the amount of $25,000 fora 28 CY garbage truck. Staff recommended the Council
accept the 'PAR-MOR bid and also accept; financing provided by PAK-MOR as done
with all past purchases from PAK-MOR.

presenting Trinity Equipment Company (who was the next lowest bidder at $35,959.00)
stated the 'piece of equipment from River City Machinery did rot meet the bid specs.
Chris 'Gard stated there were some "very minor deviations' .

reviewed by the City Attorney and then forwarded to the P & Z and then back to the
Council .
The Council agreed to proceed with the ordinance by turning it over to Steve
Sheets.
12D. Consider a request b the Parks and Recreation Department to use an
amplifer at Round Rock West Park on Sunday, June 17, 1979.

Council Hester stated he was concerned with the concert on the 19th of
Ausgust in Mesa Village Park as it would conflict with the Church of Christ services
on Sunday evening.

WORK SESSION:
3A. Consider discussion of an amendment to the recent Lone Star Gas rate increase.
On April 30, 1979 the Council awarded a 10% across the board increase to Lone Star Gas.
This increase didnot include an update of the fee schedule (i .e. reconnect charges,
appliance service charges, gas light service,- air conditioning service and returned
check charges) .
Sam Huey, Finance Director,made the following recommendations to adjust the fee
schedule to reflect as stated below:
1 ) Item DO ) - Reconnect charge be changed from $20.00 to $16.00 and from $30.00
to $24.00 which would standarize Lone Star's hourly charge to one rate on the
fee schedule.
2) Item D(2) - Air conditioning service-charge to reflect same hourly charges
as in #1 above.
3) Change sentence - "All new company sold air conditioning units sold service
free of charge for one year from date of installation to read "from date
actual in user operation: . This will protect the homebuyer from the date
of purchase of his/her home and the actual operation of the unit
4) Delete sentence "Labor charges in excess of factory allowances for warranty
replacement and repair will be passed on the customer: . '
5) Item (3) - Delete basic service charge from $30.00 to zero as the fee
schedule allows for specific charges for service. This item appears to
be a "surcharge"
6) Reduce special trip charge for service from $30.00 to $15.00 as this is
an additional to the basic fee.
7) Reduce the disconnect/reconnect fee of a;yard line or main line when replaced
by other contractors' from' $30.00 to $20.00 which is the same charge as
i
Lone Star charges when they performthe service.
June 25, 1979
After some discussion the Council stated they would prefe ' #6 to read $20`.00
rather than $15.00 and that the statement should be clarified '
Staff also recommended the Council go with Gas Cost Adjus ment'. Mayor Tonn
stated some concern over the GCA and stated that the 'Council leeded some control
over the costo
3B. Consider discussion of an ordinance amending Cha ter 11 , "ZONING", of the

Some of the Council showed concern over portable signs (i e. signs in back of
pick-up trucks) . Staff stated that this ordinance does prima ily adress billboards.
Ted Metzler, Round Rock West resident, stated that the Co ncil' should consider
some type of ordinance which would provide assistance to pers 'ns driving 135 and
bring business into Round Rock.
Bob Richardson, attorney for Stuckey's who are presently trying to get a permit
to erect a' sign, stated that; the proposed ordinance was writt n directly to „get"
his client. He further stated that he ',felt his client should be "grand-father in"
and not have to governed by the proposed ordinance if it shou d pass. Richardson
requested that he be allowed to state his appeal to the Council at their regular
meeting.

3H. Consider discussion of an ordinance amending the Zoning„ Ordinance by rezoning
4_acres, more or less, out of the Jacob M. Harrell Survey from "I-2” Heavy Industrial
District to "B-2" Local Business District and granting a Special Permit authorizing a
contractor yard thereon (Tract E).
Paul Gambrel stated the P & Z recommendations for the above-described tracts were
as stated in the agenda items. The Council stated that they had no problem with tracts
K, J and I being "I-l" Light Industrial .
The following options were recommended for the three remaining tracts: A) Tract D - -
1 ) "I-1" with a 200 foot buffer into tract H and 2) "I-1" with a 300 foot buffer to
tract H; B) Tract H - - 1 ) "I-l" with a 200 foot buffer along the front (portion
abutting RR West Drive) and 2) "I-1" on the entire tract; C) Tract E - - 1 ) :B-2"
and granting a Special Permit authorizing a contractor yard and 2) "B-1," with no special

The Council asked the City Attonrey to draft an ordinance concerning a "non-confoming
use schedule" starting with one-year.
3I. Consider discussion of an ordinance revisiong the Subdivision ordinance to
provide a mandatory corporate surety performance bond for 100% of the cost of improve-
ments for subdividers and reducing the amount of the required warranty from 100% to 25%
of cost and requiring that it be a corporate suretyBond. The performance bond would
be required of the developer in building the subdivision and the warranty would be
after the subdivision was built.
Chris Gard explained the procedure concerning a letter of credit. The letter of
credit would be issued by the bank in the amount of all the improvements. Then as
the imporvements are completed the amount of the letter of credit would be reduced and a
surety bond issued on the reduced amount for 25% for a 2 year period.
Various developer/builders explained why they felt a 10% surety bond would be more
feasible than the 25%.

Tabled 6/14/79; First Reading).
Marty Hauer, a Round Rock West resident, presented the Council with a document
entitled "Declaration of Convenants, Conditions and Restructions." This document was
the result of a meeting held between some Round Rock West residents and Glenn Neans,
owner of subject tracts. Under the proposal the approximately 36 acres would be zoned
with a 30 foot dedicated buffer.
Joyce Stark and Ted Metzler voiced their objections to the proposal and stated that
the majority of Round Rock West residents still wanted a "B-1'.' zoning for all the roll-
back area. One major concern of Stark and Metzler was the traffic.
Paul Gambrel stated that traffic studies have proven that the "B-1" zoning is a
much heavier traffic generator than the "I-1"
Joyce Stark stated that she would still favor "B-1" because "trucks attract children"
Ted Metzler said he felt "I-1" would tend to dump traffic at 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
rather than being evened-out throught out the day.
The following statement was given to the Mayor to be read, "I am opposed to 'Heavy
Industry Zoning' for the tract 'D' and would prefer 'B-1 ' (i .e. Chisholm Valley). T.G.
Telford, 901 Blue Jay Way."
Mayor Tonn stated that the Council had three alternatives 1) Tracts D & H zoned
to "I-1" with a 200 foot "B-1" buffer along Round Rock West Drive; 2) tract D
"I-1" with a 200 foot "B-1" buffer and tract H zoned all "I-1"; 3) the Declaration of
Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions".
Mrs. Roni Moore, Bluff Drive resident, asked if the Council has investigated the
allegations made by a P & Z member. Also she stated that the people in Round Rock
West felt they were not being represented and were being made to accept something the
majority -does not want.
Mayor Tonn assured Mrs. Moore that the Council was trying to do what was best for
all the people and not just one group of citizens.
Councilman Pena moved to adopt alternate #3 which was the Declaration of Covenants,
Conditions and Restrictions. Councilman Hester seconded the motion.
Mayor Tann called for a 10 minute recess to allow the City Attorney to draw up the
appropriate ordinance before a vote was taken.
After the recess the Mayor stated that the ordinance the City Atotnrey proposed
considered only the zoning change and not the deed restrictions as set out in the
Declaration. Sheets recommended the Council adopt the ordinance on the first reading
and have the second reading of the ordinance at the next meeting gibing Neans time to
file the deed restrictions.
Councilman Pena withdrew his original motion and Councilman Hester withdrew his
second.
June 28, 1978
Councilman Robinson asked if the Council adopted options 1 or '2 if at the next
meeting the Council could adopt alternate #3 if Neans had filed the deed restrictions.
Sheets stated yes.
Councilman Burgan moved to adopt Alternate #1 . The motion was seconded by
Councilman Hester,

from Lake Creek West subdivision to be tied into the City trunk line. An effort
for a legal easement had been made.

CITIZENS COMMUNICATIONS:
4A. Carl Lidell - Review County Proposed Reapportionment. Carl Lidell ,
County Commissioner Precinct 1 , addressed the Council and audience stating that
a public hearing on the redistricting was to be held August ?4, 1979 at 3:00 P.M.
i
and then a vote taken on August 27th. The current population ofiPrecinct 1 is
32,918, with Round Rock's population being 12,200. Under the proposed plan
than the County has submitted Round£ Rock would be divided in two precincts.
The new Precinct l would have a total population of '16,882; ,914 would reside
in the City of Round Rock. Precinct 4 would have a total population of 16,088,
of which' 2,761 would live in the City. The majority of the new Precinct 4 lives
in Taylor and the Commissioner for Precinct 4 resides in Taylor. However, if the
growth continues as in the past, the majority of Precinct 4 would live in Round
i
Rock by 1985. Until that time the ' ity of Round Rock would riot have equal re-
,, i
presentation. The split as proposed would divide the central business district.
August 23, 1979 r ,
Mr. Lidell stated that he felt the towns should not be split up but -that he had
only one vote when the Commissioners Court was in session. He further stated that
he would Vote against the plan but could work with it. He stated that he would
expect that each precinct receive to receive 25% of the road funds.
Mr. Lidell told the Council that by law the County would have to redistrict
in 1981 after the 1980 census was complete. A straw vote of the Commissioners had
not been taken but Lidell felt that the proposal would pass the Court.
John Gordon, 1007 Green Meadow, Precinct 23 Republican Chairman, stated
that he would like to see "the Commissioners reject this plan" . He based his state-
ment on the following 1) the candidates would be judged on where they live and not
on the issues and capabilities ("fracturing") ; 2) a break-up in commonality of in-
terests in the towns; and 3) in some areas it would be feasible that ;some county
residents would not be able to vote for a commissioner for 8 years. He further
urged that the Commissioners base their decision on the "population centers" and
"commality of interests".
Bill Todd stated that he felt the proposed plan was not the best plan and
urged the City Council to consider some type of input into the Commissioners public
hearing on the 24th.
Under other Citizens Communications, Richard Wells, Chairman of the Charter
Review Commission, asked that the Council attend, as well as those in the audience
present,",a-public hearing on the Charter Wednesday, August 29, 1979 at 7:30 p.m.
at the American Legion Hall . He stated that some issues to be considered at that
time were 1 ) Council terms; 2) Paid Council; _-3) Open meetings and executive sessions;
4) Recall ; and 5) Whether the City Secretary should remain under the City Manager or be
under the City Council . He urged the attendance of as many citizens as possible.
APPOINTMENTS: None
PUBLIC HEARINGS:
6A. Consider public testimony concerning the proposed General Plan. Paul
Gambrel , Planning Director, stated that the General Plan was the culmanation of 3
years of study done by the Staff and Planning and Zoning Commission. This Plan would
be used to select policy statements only and would have an annual review cycle for
study. A draft of the General Plan was published in its entirely in the ROUND ROCK
LEADER. There were no further comments.
6B. Consider public testimony concerning the proposed amendment to the Zoning
Ordinance revising sign standards for off-premises signs and billboards. Paul Gambrel
stated that the proposed change was basically a clarification of what the City now
has. The planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the amendment. There
were no further comments.
6C. Consider public testimony concerning the proposed Historic Preservation
August 23, 1979
)
Ordinance. Paul Gambrel stated that this Ordinance would be an ;amendment to the
Zoning Ordinance and expands the present part that talks to tkat issue. The
Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of this ordinance. The Down-'
town Preservation Commission did much research on the ordinance as did the City
staff. There were no further comments.
I
6D. Consider public testimony concerning arequest to rezone 6.46 acres
out of the Jacob M. Harrell Survey from "I-2" Heavy Industrial District and "R-1
i
Siii9le-family ResidentialDistrict to "B-l" General Business aistrtct Delashaw
and Miller). This tract fronts on the South side of 620 and i across to the east
of, the High School . The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended that the Council
pass the ordinance on the first reading and wait to pass on the second reading until
I
a !traffic light had been erected at ,the corner of 620 and Lake Creek Drive.
Rowena Stone, 300 Briarwood stated that she, 'along with other Little Oak
i
and Round Rock West residents, were against the rezoning. A petition was presented
to the Council listing the following objection: 1 ) such a structure as proposed
i
would place a :service alley and everything that goes with it (ithin fifty (50) to
sixty (60) feet of private residents;, 2) the ,proposed "buffe zone" is not
sufficient to properly buffer visually, orally, and/or aurally the private residents
from the shopping center clutter, noise, and smell of garbage; 3;) the proposed
shopping center is to be built within an illegal distance from a church, if beer
is to be sold, 4) the amount of traffic.... produced by the proposed use of the land
i
would greatly 'crease the already hazardous situation at an intersection where
i
there is no traffic control device, thereby endangering livesi 5) the proposed
sue of the land could cause residents of the Little Oaks Addition! and other resi-
de nts
esi-dents in surrounding areas to lose property value on their investments of their
homes in the amount of twenty-five (25) to fifty (50) percenti and 6) not all
people legally owning property within 2001 feet of the property in question were
notified in writing of the public hearing, which is required by law, thereby de-
priving them of their legal right to exp ess themselves. The two persons not
receiving notification of the Planning and Zoning public hearing were Lillian
I
Peterson and Amanada M. Archer.
Bobby McMillian, Westwood Development Company, appeared on behalf of the
zoning change. His company was proptosing to put in a shopping center to be con-
structed on the site consisting of a major grocery store of which no tenant has
been secured and other minor businesses with off-street parki'rig. McMillian
stated that he felt the request was one of down zoning of theIpraperty since most
I
of it was presently zoned 9-2" and was consistent with the present Master Plan.
His company was concerned with the p=reservation of the trees on the site and was
trying to preserve as many as possible. Eventhough it would ',riot be required his
r i
company would be willing to screen the center from the residents in anyway possible
August 23, 1979
and feasible. He further stated that his company could .not live with the Planning
and Zoning Commission's recommendation concerning the establishment of a traffic
light at the intersection of 620 and Lake Creek Drive.
Faye Graham, school bus driver, stated that the traffic problem at that inter-
section was being coming worse and not better and that a shopping center at that point
would only increase the hazardeous condition.
Tex Nehring, Little Oak resident, stated that he was against the zoning
change. When Little Oaks was originally platted, Bennie Bustin, developer, gave a 50'
"R-1" buffer all around that addition. Now, with the change, that buffer would be re-
moved and the shopping center constructed.
W.W. Gravell , 406 Briarwood, stated that he purchased his home with the
understanding that his backyard was abutting a "R-1" buffer. He stated that the
traffic conjection at the intersection of the proposed alley and 620 would be almost
"unbearable".
Tony Scoliece, Westwood Development Company, stated that he could see that
the traffic was a relative problem presently but that he did not consider the buffer
a real problem but rather one that could be resolved.
Bob Burleson, Little Oak resident, stated that he resented the "callusness"
of the Westwood Development Company.
James Carter stated his concern for the pedestrian traffic across Lake Creek
Drive from the High School to the proposed shopping center.
Carol Grant stated that the shopping center would be merely "inviting more
crimes"
Ray Litton, former Mayor and member of the Council when the widening of Lake
Creek Drive was considered,stated that the zoning was considered at the same time that
the widening was considered.
Paul Primm, 202 Lake Creek Drive in Round Rock West, stated that he felt in
an "extremely poor idea to put in anymore commercial property at that particular
intersection or along Lake Creek Drive. He stated "I don't feel this is needed at that
particular geographical point because of the traffic problem".
Marge Wellman, Round Rock West resident, stated that she would be glad to
circulate a petition to see just how many people in Round Rock West would oppose the
construction of the shopping center since the developers stated that the center would
, be constructed'` to primarily meet the needs of the Round Rock West areas,,.
There being no further comments the public hearings were closed.

The Council and staff then discussed the pros and cons of moving the fire
station projcet. back a year or two and uping McNeil Road to year 1 of the CIP.
Council felt that they hated to see $30,000 worth of improvements be made by the
telephone company and county, as those two intities have committed to do, and then
the City come back and re-work that entire road a year-later. Councilman Robinson
stated that he personally did not want to "swap out" any projects unless absolutely
necessary. Councilman Lopez suggested that swapping out Gattis School Road and
McNeil Road be considered.
It was Council concensus to hold a bond election Tuesday, November 6, 1979
at the Public Safety Building. Three propositions should appear on the ballot
1) G.O.- $150,000 Wonder Drive Project; 2) G.O. - $350,000 Water Well Development;
and 3) Revenue - $4,400,000 Water and Sewer Improvements, which should be enough
to implement 1980-1983 of the CIP.
