MINUTE BOOK 20 1987a
MAY 14, 1987
The Round Rock City Council met in regular session Thursday,
May 14, 1987 at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chamber.
ROLL CALL: Those members present were Mayor Mike Robinson, Mayor
Pro -tem Trudy L. Lee, Councilman Mike Heiligenstein, Councilman Glenn
T. King, Councilman Pete Correa, Councilman Ronnie Jean and Councilman
Charles Culpepper. Also present were Acting City Manager Sam Huey,
City Attorney Donald Lee Wolf and City Secretary Joanne Land.
WORK SF_RRMN-
3A. Consider discussion of one-half cent sales tax as an offset
to ad valorem taxes and the procedure for implementation. Councilman
King stated that he had asked that this item be placed on the agenda
for consideration. This one-half cent sales tax would help offset
ad valorem taxes by hopefully reducing the amount of a tax increase,
if any. Councilman King and the Audit/Finance Committee recommended
that the necessary public hearings be scheduled. The earliest election
date is August 8, 1987. January 1, 1988 is when the collection would
begin. This would not affect the 1987 taxes. Ten percent (10%)
contingency fee will be held for 3 years to allow for fluxuations
within that period. There are 31 counties and 13 cities that have
passed this tax; only 1 city and 1 county turned it down. Several
Councilmembers had questions concerning this item. It was requested
that this item be placed on the next agenda with a staff analysis
and various charts showing election dates and necessary public hearings.
3B. Consider a report concerning revisions to the non -conforming
use policy. Joe Vining presented the Council with a draft amendment
to the zoning ordinance which provides for an appeal procedure to
City Council when a building permit for reconstruction for a non-
conforming use is refused. The appeal procedure would include public
advertising and notification of adjacent property owners. The staff
had reservations regarding this change, in that it could be used to
promote the continuance of non -conforming used beyond their normal
expected life. Staff is to take this to the Planning Commission and
then back to the Council.
3C. Consider a presentation by the Chamber of Commerce concerning
Hotel/Motel Tax Revenues. Steve Pena, President -Elect of the Chamber
of Commerce, made the presentation to the Council. Pena went over
2
MAY 1.41 1987
a report of hotel/motel tax receipts and expenditures from 1982 through
1986.
Councilman Heiligenstein said he would like to see this type of
report on a yearly basis rather than every three or four years.
Mayor Robinson said he was concerned that 43% of the money had been
used for "overhead". Pena said that the Chamber had received "no
direction on how the overhead should be handled." Mayor Pro -tem Lee
suggested that the Chamber take advantage of the Volunteer Program
for any secretarial help needed related to this topic. Councilman
Culpepper also said he had brought up the idea of billboards to intro-
duce Round Rock prior to entering the city limits. This money could
be used for that purpose also. The hotel/motel committee is to get
with Mr. Pena and Sam Huey to go over the contract regarding this
item and report back to the Council in the near future.
3D. Consider discussion of the Lake Creek Pedestrian Bridge.
Last winter, the Lake Creek Pedestrian Bridge contract award was tabled
to examine an alternate site. A new site which includes some drainage
improvements at Chisholm Trail Middle School, is proposed. The bridge
is located on City property and is between Deepwood and Oakridge bridges.
It will tie into the existing park trail. The cost of the bridge
will be at least $40,000. Council felt that the project whould not
be pursued at this time.
3E. Comiittee Reports.
Councilman King reported that the Annexation Committee is looking
into the legal and financial aspects of annexing Brushy Creek North.
Councilman Culpepper noted that a lunch had occurred between
the Intergovenmental Committee and State Representative Randall Riley.
Also the Audit -/Finance Committee is reviewing the mid -year budget
adjustments and will report back to the Council at a subsequent meeting.
Mayor Robinson reported that the City had received $240,644.85
in the settlement of the Glenn Neans lawsuit.
Mayor Pro -tem Lee said that the City Hall Complex Committee will
meet every Monday at 4:30 p.m. until the building is complete.
Mayor Robinson reported that the Golf Course Committee received
a good proposal this week and a report will be given in the near future.
3F. City Manager's Report.
Sam Huey went over memos contained in the Council packet.
Joe Vining recommended that the McNeil Road Cleanup project had
MAY 14, 1987
not proceeded as expected and that legal action be taken as soon as
possible.
Council said they would like to see everyone have a good clear
concise understanding of the abandoned vehicle ordinance and the State
law relating to abandoned vehicles.
3G. Council Comments.
Councilman Heiligenstein asked the Parks and Recreation Director
to look at the parking at Round Rock Memorial Park near the "round
rock." He also requested that parking for the round Rock West Green-
belt area also be addressed.
Councilman Heiligenstein also asked that a list of all streets
with 20 mph be made available. These are the streets that are not
in front of a school. He also asked to check into the feasibility
of the Police Department helping enforce Code Violations.
Councilman Correa asked how the traffic was flowing along the
McNeil Road detour. The traffic is flowing fine. Staff has been
monitoring this very closely. He also asked that Bowman Road be
watered on schedule because of the dust created by the construction.
Staff assured the Council that this was being done on an as needed
basis.
Councilman Jean questioned whether the drainage easement along
Bowman Road had been resolved. Staff said it should be resolved in
"the next week or so."
Councilman Culpepper asked that Chisholm Trail by the "round
3
rock" be patched. Jim said that the sealcoat program and overlay
program will be brought to the Council for consideration at the next
work session. Council said they would like to see the sealcoat standards
done to urban standards rather than rural standards.

RESOLUTIONS:
12A. Consider a resolution supporting local park funds.
Representative Randall Riley, sponsor of HB2341, is proposing that
the local Park Fund be used as funding source to help balance the
State General Fund Budget. The Hog Farm, a 789+ acre tract, owned
by the State is located in Leander. Approximately 50 acres of the
land is presently used by MHMR as an adaptive camp for the handicapped.
10 MAY 14, 1987
The current legislation calls for Texas Parks and Wildlife to purchase
the land (appraised value $33 million dollars) for use as a state
park or if deemed inappropriate for a park, the land can be sold.
The legislature authorized the sale of this land in 1985 (SB1350)
excluding 50 acres which were to be transferred to TPWD so that it
could lease the land to Williamson County if a park district was
established. The park district was never formed and:no::proposals vere
received on the remainder of the land. 7
This bill if passed would adversely affect local units of
government as follows:
1. HB2341 in effect robs Peter (local government) to pay Paul
(the state general fund) .
2. To drain the Local Park Fund for this acquisition would freeze
funds available to cities in the form of 50-50 matching grants for
approximately 2j years.
3. There is no language in the bill that stipulates the proceeds
from the sale (if it occurs) would be used to replenish the Local
Park Fund.
4. Also there is no assurance that if the land is sold that
it will sell for the appraised figure which is what TPWD is required
to pay.
5. This land is in effect being forced on TPWD. This is not
land that they have recommended be acquired for a state park site.
RESOLUTION NO.
WHEREAS, the Local Park Fund was established to enhance
the acquisition and development of parks in Texas, and
WHEREAS, The Local Park Fund provides the only source
for matching grant funds to local units of government, and
WHEREAS, the City of Round Rock has benefited from
matching grant funds totaling $361,632.00, and
WHEREAS, HB2341 the purchase of the Leander Property, by
TPWD, adversely affect the funding of Local Park Fund Grants
for a period of approximately two and one-half years; and
WHEREAS, the quality of life would be greatly affected
in Round Rock and throughout the State of Texas, Now Therefore
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROUND ROCK,
TEXAS
That the Texas House of Representatives is encouraged to
protect the Local Park Fund and find more reasonable solutions
to balancing the budget.

MOTION: Councilman Correa moved to adopt the resolution
with Councilman Jean seconding the motion.
Councilman Heiligenstein asked if the Council could amend
the contract to reflect an extension in terms with what the current
contract states or is this amendment too far removed from the

renewable every three years. Mayor Pro -tem Lee stated she could
not support the resolution and amendment as was presented. Councilman
Heiligenstein said he was concerned that the Audit/Finance Committee
may have other changes that need to be addressed and all changes
should be addressed at the same time rather than by "piece meal."

$100.00 worth of residential taxes, the taxpayer used $110.00
worth of services; for every $300.00 worth of commercial/industrial
taxes, the industry used $100.00 worth of services. He said
he would like to see the ratio today.
Councilman Culpepper said the Audit/Finance Committee met
with Round Rock Refuse. The Committee felt that the services
provided by Round Rock Refuse should go out for bid as their
contract is up in September. Councilman Culpepper took an informal
poll of the Council to see what directio the Council wishes to
proceed concerning the Round Rock Refuse Contract.
Councilman Heiligenstein said he would be in favor of extending
the current contract.
Councilman King said that since he was on the Audit/Finance
Committee he had recommended that the contract be rebid but
that since by earlier action in this meeting of tabling the proposed
resolution, he would defer discussion to the next work session.
Councilman Correa said he felt that Round Rock Refuse was
providing good service to the community and would recommend that
the contract be extended.
Councilman Jean said he was in favor of extending the current
contract with a "one year roll over clause."

ROLL CALL: Those -members present were 'Mayor Mike Robinson,
Mayor Pro -tem Trudy L.' Lee, Councilman Mike Ilei 1 igenstein'-,
Councilman Glenn T. King, Councilman Fete Correa arrived during
the discussion of item 3B and Councilman Charles Culpepper.
Absent was Councilman Ronnie Jean. Also present were Acting City
Manager Sam Huey, City Attorney Donald Lee Wolf and City
Secretary Joanne Land.
WORK SESSION:
3A. Consider discussion of one-half cent sales tax as an
offset to ad valorem taxes and the procedure for implementation.
Councilman King made the presentation. June 24th is the last day
to call an August 8th election if the Council wishes to pursue
this item. An August election will allow collections to begin
January 1, 1988. This would affect the 1988 property taxes not
the 1487 property taxes. Sam Huey went over calculations based
on the one-half cent sales tax going into affect. Huey said the
only "down side" would be the elimination of the MTA. Councilman
Culpepper said he would like to see some more breakdowns
presented. Also some charts and explanation for the citizens
when the public hearings- are held. The Council instructed staff
to have a resolution on the June 11th agenda which will call an
August 8th election. Also staff is to make a presentation to the
Chamber of Commerce on this item.
3B. Consider discussion concerning modification of the
oversize ordinance in relation to minimum size. Jim Nuse made
the staff presentation. Nuse explained that the "normal size"
for a water line "use to be 12 inches". Now the normal size is
16". Nuse read the statement that he is proposing to be included
in the oversize ordinance. The interest rate in the oversize
ordinance is "tied to the T-billrate". The 16" is a very common
line for a transmission main and very functional. Councilman
Ding asked Nuse if he had considered ever looking at cost
May 28, 1987 21
participation on the prorata share of the line. Nuse said he had
not but would loo{:: in to the idea. This item will be brought
back: in ordinance form at the next meeting.
3C. Consider discussion concerning revisions to the qarbaqe
contract. Mayor Robinson signed a conflict of interest affidavit
prior to the meeting so, therefore, Mayor Fro -tem Lee chaired
this portion of the meeting.
Councilman Heiligenstein said he would like to see legal
counsel and staff go through the contract and recommend changes
relative to formulas or whatever else needs to be addressed.
Councilman Culpepper said it looked as if there was an
informal 3 to 3 vote on whether to extend the contract or not.
Don Wolf went over various voting options the Council had
relative to this item.
Councilman Culpepper said he was not comfortable with Round
Rock Refuse being able to provide the level of service necessary
because of their financial situation. Councilman Correa said he
did not feel their financial situation had affected their level
of service. Councilman Heiligenstein said there should be
"proper outs" in the contract if their (Round Rock Refuse)
financial situation deteriorates. He continued by saying he
feels that Round Rock: Refuse is doing their job and did not feel
the contract should be terminated. Councilman Culpepper said his
concern was that the Council do the best it can for the
citizens. Councilman Heiligenstein said he would like to see
this back: on the agenda at the next meeting for some type of
action. It was agreed that the item will be on the next agenda.
3D. Consider a presentation of the Seal.coat Program. Public
Works presented maps of the proposed Sealcoat/Overlay candidate
streets for 1987. Jim Nuse also presented various alternatives
to sealcoat which included overlay and a recycling process.
Staff is to bring this back in time for a decision to be made on
which alternative will serve the citizens best. Councilman
Culpepper asked staff to look: at pulling out everything but
collectors and residental streets that are in very bad shape.
22 May 28, 1987
3E. Consider discussion of possible Electrical Code
revisions. Jerry Wanslow, the City's Electrical Inspector, made
a short presentation. Discussion was held concerning aluminum
wire and cost differences. The Fire Department has seen the
proposed changes and has no objections.
3F. Consider discussion of the East Florence Street
extension. In order to relieve traffic congestion on Deerfoot
Drive and to improve access to the Lake Creek Park and
surrounding area, a roadway is proposed which will extend
Florence Street on the east side of Mays Street. This road would
parallel the railroad tracks on the south side from Burnet
Street to the swimming pool in Lake Creek Park. The cost is
estimated at $107,0000 with curb and gutter.
The remainder of the work session items were considered at
the end of this meeting.

CITIZENS COMMUNICATIONS.:.
8A. Ken Massey, Round Rock Chamber of Commerce - Street
Close Request. Ken Massey, Frontier Days Chairman for the
Chamber of Commerce, asked permission to close Main Street from
Mays Street to Sheppard Street and Lampasas Street from Bagdad
Street to Liberty Avenue from Friday evening, July 10th through
1:00 a.m. Sunday, July 12th. Massey also asked that two banners
be approved; one at Mays Street and Main Street and one at Lake
Creek Drive and Highway 620. Mayor Pro -tem Lee stated that the
City Hall Complex Committee had not reached a decision whether
the new parking garage will be open to the public. She said they
would try to let the Chamber know in the next week. Several
Councilmembers said they would be in favor of having the parking
garage open. Chief of Pol,i.ce Wes Wolff also said he felt it
would be a
..,good .idea -to use it. The Council agreed to the street
close and.banner request.
PROCLAMATIONS:
9A. Consider a Proclamation proclaiming Leukemia Race for
Life Week. Mayor Robinson read the appropriate proclamation.
Three children who will be riding in the race Sunday, June 7th
were present to receive the proclamation.
9B. Consider a proclamation proclaiming June as Parks and
Recreation Month. Mayor Robinson read the proclamation and
presented it to Parks and Recreation Director Sharon Prete.
PUBLIC HEARINGS:
10B. Consider public testimony concerning the annexation of
Brushy Creek North. This is the first of two scheduled public
hearings regarding the annexation of Brushy Creek North. The
second public hearing is.set for June 11th. Joe Vining, Planning
Director- said staff was instructed to proceed with this item on
. I , I I � 4 ..7 1 1. ;
a -."win-win situation". The proposed legi-slation that would have
enabled the City to proceed with the annexation is not expected
9A
&&= May 28, 1987
to pass the Legislature. Staff should know for certain by the
June 11th public hearing. It does not look as if the City can
proceed with the annexation with the goals as set out.
Kathy Raco of Brushy Creek North asked the Council to pursue
the annexation possibility even more than they already , have. She
also urged the Council to consider trading ETj'wi't`h Austin so
that all of Brushy Creek North 6rth would be in Round Rock's ETJ.
Mayor Rdbinso-n toi6,Ms,. Raco that the City had negotiated with
'Ausfin for three years concerning the"trade but Austin' does not
wish - to trade. 'He *conclud68 by sayingthat the fcouncil would
lik4 every much -to 'Jarinex* 'Brushy Creek- North -but a I s the
legislation stands it would not benefit either the City or the
Brushy Creek North residents. Councilman Heiligenstein suggested
Ms. Raco's group get with the City of Austin concerning the ETJ
trade and let them know they really want to be part of Round
Rock. It was stated that Austin would not annex Brushy Creek
North because of the ratial imbalance.
Steve Watson of 2811 Great Oaks Drive asked what 'plans the
Council had if the City could have proceeded with the
annexation. Mayor Robinson went over what had been 'd scussed up
to this time.
Another Brushy Creek Noi-th resident, "'Bob Smith,"stated his
concern about fir6'orotection. Mayor Robinson assured Smith the
fire protection had not -changed.
'Therb were no fu rt•herl comments; the public hearing was
closed.'
10A. Consider public testimony concerning the request to
rezone the Pettijohn Property. Jim Stendebach made the staff
presentation. The proposed development consists of three
restaurants, one oriented to Chisholm Trail and two oriented to
IH 35. The Historic Commercial Zone specifically prohibits drive
thru businesses in an attempt to street pedestrian access along
Chisholm Trail. The subject property has double frontage. The
proposed PUD would allow a single drive thru restaurant fronting
May 28, 1987 25
onto IH 35 while maintaining the pedestrian orientation along
Chisholm Trail.
The PUD will specifically allow three items which do not
strictly comply with the zoning ordinance. These are as follows:
1) The allowance of a single drive thru land for building
"All .
-2). The reduction of the: front setback adjacent to. IH 35.
3) The reduction of street yard landscaping adjacent to IH
35.
11. In --exchange for the ,landscaping and :setback waivers, the
developer will commit to landscape, and provide a letter of
credit to assure landscaping the entire portion of the IH 35
right-of-way from the property line east to the western edge of
the frontage road.
All signs, lighting, paving materials and building materials
and design must be approved by the Historic Preservation
Commission.
The developer proposes to phase the development and will
landscape and pave the entire site as part of Phase One.
A letter from the Historic Preservation Commission stating
that they were against the proposal was presented. Also the
Planning and Zoning Commission recommended denial of the
request.
Gene Brownrigg, Chairman of the Historic Preservation
Commission, made a short presentation to the Council. She stated
that she does understand a PUD in relation to a residential area
but does not understand where a PUD applies to a historic
district. She stated that the only reason she could see for the
justification of the project was the immediate tax base
increase. She stressed the need to promote, protect and develop
Chisholm Trail in a historic manner. She said she did not feel a
drive thru window would be condusive to the historic district.
Charlie Loving stated that he felt one of the proposed
businesses would be "in direct conflict with the best donuts in
town".
26 May 28, 1987
There were no further comments, the public hearing was
closed.
ORDINANCES:
11A. Consider an ordinance amending the Traffic Code.

rezoning the Petti_iohn Property to a PUD. (First Reading)
Because this had a negative recommendation from the Planning and
Zoning Commission, a three-quarters affirmative vote was needed
in order for the zoning to.pass.
Councilman Heiligenstein said.. he was opposed to the PUD on
this.property. Mayor Robinson said he.felt there. is, a weakness
in the C-3 zone and in the PUD ordinance but was in favor of the
PUD on this tract. Councilman King said he thought the PUD was
intended to catch everything that is not specifically addressed
in the other zoning ordinance. Mayor Robinson stated that the
only reason this was coming to the Council as a PUD was because
of the drive up window. Councilman Culpepper said he respected
the statements made earlier in the meeting by Gene Brownrigg but
that he did not feel a drive up window along IH 35 would be
offensive in a historic area. The Council then discussed how
this type of problem could be prevented in the future and how
many more tracts were left in the C-3 zone:`

The City reserved the right to split the bids. If the City

The Round Rock City Council met in regular session Thursday,
June 117 1987 at 6:00 p.m. in the Council Chamber.
ROLL CALL: Those members present were Mayor Mike Robinson,
Mayor Pro -tem Trudy L. Lee, Councilman Mike Heiligenstein,
Councilman Glenn T. King, Councilman Pete Correa, Councilman
Ronnie Jean and Councilman Charles Culpepper. Also present were
City Manager Bob Bennett, Assistant City Manager Sam Huey, Steve
Sheets and City Secretary Joanne Land.
WORK SESSION:
3A. Consider discussion of proposed budget revisions. Sam
Huey went over the attachments contained in the packet. Huey
stated that the budget as adopted last October relied on growth.
The amendments de-emphasize that reliance. Huey said that he did
not feel the City' could cut back on city personnel without
cutting back on the level of city services that are now
provided.
Mayor Pro -tem Lee asked about the hotel/motel tax. Huey said
that the City has not received about $87000 but that the City is
currently trying to collect.
Some of the Council said they felt it would be hard to keep
the level of services as they are now without a tax increase.
The Council then discussed the level of service of the fire and
police departments.
Councilman Culpepper said that he felt it would be
beneficial to look into contract mowing for all city mowing. Now
the tasks are divided between the Parks Department and the
Public Works Department. This item will be addressed by staff.
The possibility of using volunteers to help mow in the parks was
also discussed.
The Council asked if the firm the City currently uses to
collect delinquent taxes is agressive enough. Bob Bennett and
Sam Huey will meet with the necessary firm members and make a
report back to the Council.
This item was considered later in this meeting.
June 11, 1987 41
3B. Consider a presentation concerning Code Enforcement.
Joe Vining made the staff presentation-. The term code
enforcement is, as it implies, the action or actions needed to
insure compliance with our City Codes. The specific
responsibility for enforcement is determined by the nature of
the problem. For instance, general safety items are covered by
the Police and Fire Departments. Construction related concerns
are delegated to Building Inspection and Public Works. Zoning,
signs, weedy lots and landscaping maintenance. Vining then went
over the procedures necessary to remedy a weedy lot and
landscape maintenance.
The Council said they were under the impression that the new
Code Enforcement Officer in the Public Works Department would
handle weedy lots as well as public works items. Staff is to get
a copy of the necessary job description to the Council.
Councilman Heiligenstein asked Vining if he had the staff to
handle the necessary code enforcement. Vining said he had one
employee who devoted half of his time to code enforcement. If
the Council was satisfied with the level of service then his
department was adequately staffed; if they wish to increase the
level of service then the person will need to spend all his time
on code enforcement.
Councilman Heiligenstein suggested that a plan be developed
whereby city employees help enforce codes for a "bounty".
3C. Consider a report concerning the Lake Creek Flood Plain.
Jim Nuse introduced Dr. Larry Mays. Dr. Mays is the individual
who did the study for the City. Dr. Mays went over various
statistics. Some relating to before and after the diversions
were accomplished. Discussion was held concerning the report.
Mays said that the diversions had definitely helped the flooding
problem but had not cured it 100%.
The remainder of the Work Session was considered at the end
of the meeting.

Councilman Charles Culpepper. Also present were City Manager Bob
Bennett, Assistant City Manager Sam Huey and City Secretary
Joanne Land.
WORK SESSION:
3A. Consider discussion of long range planning, goal
setting and financial matters. Mayor Robinson began the work
session by stating that the Council would deal primarily with
financial matters rather than goal setting at this particular
meeting.
The first item discussed was the one-half cent sales tax
issue which has been set for election August 8, 1987. Staff
reviewed the dollar amounts expected if this issue passed by the
voters. Various options were discussed concerning use of the
money. The City expects to receive $5777000 based on prior years
collections which will be a total windfall. After the first 9
months in which the City hopes to receive $57770001 the amount
received is calculated at about $8007000.
The Council said that a presentation needs to be
formulated for presentation to the Chamber of Comerce Board of
Directors, civic groups and any neighborhood groups wishing to
hear about the issue. Also, Councilman King and Bob Bennett are
to work with Ken Long and Marty Levy at the ROUND ROCK LEADER to
maximize press coverage. Staff is also to work up a handout that
could possibly be placed with the water bills mail Out in July.
The next item of discussion was the Utility Rate Study
done by Willis, Graves and Associates. The Council went over the
projected rates for the next several years. They asked where
Round Rock was in the market place. Staff said about in the
62. June 16, 1987
middle of the scale for the surrounding communities. Staff will
run a new scenario in the next month based on the growth changes
that have occurred.
The Bond Rating Houses in New York have told the City to
"get self-supporting" and that is what has been achieved by the
rates as has passed the Council.
The Council discussed whether a change of policy relative
to heavy industrial water users should be initiated. They agreed
each industry should be looked at on a case by case basis. The
Council said that the City needs to continue water well
exploration and also continue any search for additional water
supplies. Councilman Heiligenstein suggested that ordinances be
amended allowing the sell of water to bulk users at an alternate
rate.
The next topic of discussion was Economic Development.
Council talked about responsibilities of the Chamber of Commerce
and the City concerning this item. Also talked about was the
hotel/motel tax, tourism and the possibility of bike races in
Round Rock. It was suggested that a list of events from various
cities be obtained to see what type of events are occuring over
the state and nation.
Councilwoman Lee said she felt the City needs to increase
its involvement with the Sister City Program. More publicity
needs to be done to let the citizens know about Lake Macquarie.
The Council feels the City needs to become more involved
in tourism and economic development and promote the Chisholm
Trail area. Also the Sheriffs' Association is looking for a
place to establish a museum. Round Rock is being considered. The
Council agreed that it would be a good tourist attraction and
would like to pursue the museum.
Staff and Council discussed the Northeast Road District
and the Southeast Road District. The Council said they would not
want to become involved in road districts in the future.
John Rankin, Town Clerk from Round Rock's Sister City,
visited with the Council concerning mutual interest exchanges
and how Lake Macquarie's government is run. Rankin will be

exchanges.
Sam Huey went over various financial scenarios for the
next few years. By doing this, staff was setting the framework
so the Council could give the proper guidance to see where and
how the City will progress in the future. Sam said he would like
to refine the numbers and bring some further info back to the
Council.
Councilwoman Lee said she would like Bob Bennett to be
brought up to speed on the volunteer program. Lee said that
presently Round Rock: -'s program is just a part of Austin's. She
felt that Round Rock needs to be a separate program. Until that
time, there are two places on the Austin Board, Councilwoman Lee
and Sam Huey were asked to serve for one year.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at

3A. Consider discussion of the proposed 1987 Bond Package.
Bob Bennett made the staff presentation. Bennett addressed the
overlapping debt of the City. The School District has an extreme
amount of debt. Because of the large overlapping debt, staff
suggested that the proposed bond election be postponed to a
later date so that the City's bond rating would not be put in
jeapordy. The items that were considered for the bond package
could be postponed until next year without causing any problems.
Mayor Robinson said that since the growth trend was not on
the rise then taxes "cant keep going up." He said the only
pressing item on the bond election was the frontage road
project. The City has not heard back from the State on the exact
amount. The Mayor suggested the City sell Certificates of
Obligation for the project when the State advises the City of
the dollar amount.
Councilman Culpepper suggested that the Council wait to
prioritize any items until the entire Council is together.
Councilman King stated that the State was planning on
doing a total of about $25,000,000 worth of improvements inside
the city limits. He said he did not want to see the City loose
those improvements.

have a Bond Counsel proposal for the Council's consideration at

Committee is continuing to meet on a weekly basis. The parking
garage is not ready to be accepted by the City, therefore, it

RESOLUTIONS:
12A. Consider a resolution revoking acceptance of Vista
Heights Section 5A. Richard Wells representing the lender of the
project, Franklin Savings, made a presentation to the Council.
There are numerous firms involved in the investigation and
testing as to the cause of failure of lines and streets in Vista
Heights Section 5A. So far there have been $51,100 worth of
investigating expenses incurred. Testing has begun and will
continue. A cost sharing agreement is also being finalized.
Mayor Robinson said that the Council asked for a schedule
quite a while back. As of this time the Council has not received
the requested schedule.
Wells said they had set July 1st as a target date but
because of the number of liability carriers to be notified and
given the opportunity to respond as to whether they wanted to
become involved or not, they had not been able to meet that
deadline. Wells said another meeting has been scheduled for newt
week and his group should have "a pretty good handle on where we
stand." He continued by stating that there are three determining
factors: 1) the cause: 2) the cure: and 3) who is at fault and
therefore who will pay.
Councilman Heiligenstein stated that it is well known that
there are monies owed contractors on the project that have not
been paid. He asked what the City's position or liability
legally would be in terms of the developer owing contractors
money that has never been paid on streets and utilities that
could be the City's.
Wells stated that the money in dispute is the 10%
retainage normally withheld on a project until it is totally
complete. Mayor Robinson said that he felt it needed to be noted
July 9, 1987 77
that the work was completed and accepted and the contractor
should be entitled to the retainage. The Mayor then said he was
not interested in seeing this item on the agenda week after
week. Councilman Culpepper echoed Mayor Robinson's statement.
Again Councilman Heiligenstein asked, "does the fact that
the contractors have a lien pending affect the City's position
in this matter." Don Wolf said he did not know that it affects
the City'*s position at all but that he thought that any action
the Council takes at this time will have an affect on those
lawsuits that are pending and he would not recommend that the
Council act positively at this time.
Councilman Heiligenstein asked that the City explore or
investigate the role of the situation with the contractor and
the lender or whoever the owner of the project is now relative
to the improvements in the ground and what that means to the
City.
The Council agreed to the withdrawal of this item at this
time. It will appear on the agenda one more time at a later date
when the City Manager and City Engineer feel the situation has
been satisfactorily addressed.
12B. Consider a resolution supporting sales tax on certain
services. This resolution has the support of the Texas Municipal
League.
RESOLUTION NO.
WHEREAS, sales tax receipts for the State of Texas and for
cities across the state have been steadily decreasing; and
WHEREAS, sales tax receipts for the City of Round Rock are
down j and
WHEREAS, the City faces ever-increasing service demands
for public safety, water, wastewater, solid waste disposal, and
other services; and

changes,, shifting from reliance on oil, gas, and other natural
resources to an economy based heavily on information, services,
and trade; and
WHEREAS, the current sales tax system relies too heavily
on the old economy, leaving most of the new economy untaxed;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF ROUND ROCK, TEXAS
That the City Council endorses and will actively support
efforts to broaden the sales tax base to include taxation of
services, but to retain exemptions for food, drugs, medicine,
medical services, and medical supplies; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED
78 July 9, 1987
That the City Council urges the State Legislature to enact
the legislation necessary to expand the sales tax base and to
grant Texas cities the authority to impose any and all optional
city sales tax on the expanded base.

collect delinquent taxes for the City. This service is now

& Gutow and their qualifications, staff felt this firm can do an
excellent job collecting taxes plus they have local
representation for policy and procedure questions that may arise
over the 3 year term of this new contract. The cost of this
service is provided by a 15% fee levied on delinquent taxpayers
as set out by state law.

12C. Consider discussion of proposed change in the
Zoning Ordinance concerning lot averaging. The proposed change
would amend one paragraph of the Zoning Ordinance. Its purpose
is to provide the Planning and Zoning Commission, as well as the
development community, with a clear method of determining lot
size in the SF -2 district. The existing ordinance provides that
the Planning and Zoning Commission may approve lots smaller than
I
I
July 23, 1987 95
67 500 square feet, but the ordinance does not set out any
criteria. The proposed amendment addresses this problem by
simply seeking a 6,500 square foot average for all the
single-family lots contained in the subdivision. This item is
being brought to the Council prior to its presentation to the
development community and other comments in the public hearing
phase of the process.
Councilman Heiligenstein said he felt this amendment was
a "good idea". Councilman King also went over this view of the
proposal as did Councilman Culpepper who interjected that staff
might want to look at taking this one step further for SF -I.
COMMITTEE REPORTS:
Mayor Pro -tem Lee stated the City Hall Complex Committee
was hoping this would be the last meeting of the Council in this
Chamber. The new Council Chamber will possibly be ready by the
first meeting in August.
Councilman King informed the Council of a joint work
session with the Georgetown City Council on August 27, 1987 from
5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. in the Round Rock City Council Chamber to
discuss MOKAN and BRA.
CITY MANAGER'S REPORT:
Bob Bennett reported that staff is now taking minutes of
all committee meetings and submitting them to the Council as a
means of information and keeping the entire Council up-to-date
on various topics.
Bennett reported that Sharon Prete, Parks and Recreation
Director, had an article published in the Texas Municipal
League's monthly magazine.
Councilman Heiligenstein asked that staff look into
drafting an ordinance which would prohibit parking in City
right-of-way by large trucks or any vehicles. He also asked that
this not be restricted to residential areas.
96 July 23, 1987
Councilman Heiligenstein, also asked how staff was
progressing with the enforcement of weedy lots. Bennett reported
that the Planning Department was doing a very good job in
getting the situation well under control. A one-page brochure
will be going out shortly which will inform the citizens about
weedy lots, junked cars and zoning violations.
In response to a question by Councilman Heiligenstein,
Bennett reported that the City is trying to do a better job at
maintaining significant right-of-way areas.
Councilman King brought the Council up-to-date on the
speaker schedule and absentee voting for the 1/2 cent sales tax
election on August 8th.
Mayor Robinson said he would like to see staff look at
signage restrictions on the interstate especially in relation to
heights.
The Mayor also said he had received an official letter
inviting Round Rock to attend the Australian Sister City
Convention in Lake Macquarie. He asked that an item be placed on
the next agenda to address this topic.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned

The Round Rock City Council met in regular session Thursday,
August 13, 19877 at 6:00 p.m. in the City Council Chamber, 216
E. Main Street.
ROLL CALL: Those members present were Mayor Mike Robinson,
Mayor Pro -tem Trudy L. Lee, Councilman Mike Heiligenstein,
Councilman Glenn T. King, Councilman Pete Correa, Councilman
Ronnie Jean and Councilman Charles Culpepper. Also present were
City Manager Bob Sennett, Assistant City Manager Sam Huey, City
Attorney Donald Lee Wolf and City Secretary Joanne Land.
WORK SESSION:
3A. Consider a presentation concerning the proposed 1987-88
Budget. Bob Bennett told the Council there would be three public
hearings August 27th, September 10th and September 24th. The
budget ordinance will be read the two meetings in September.
Bennett suggested that Councilmembers meet with him and Sam Huey
on an individual basis and possibly have a special called work
session sometime in September.
Sam Huey went over the proposed budget figures department by
department. The budget as proposed did not include pay raises or
merit increases for City employees. The budget anticipates 22
single family starts per month. The proposed tax rate of 46.536
cents represents a .4% increase over the effective tax rate
calculation of 46.325 cents.
3B. Consider a presentation concerning the proposed Sealcoat
Program. Jim Nuse made the staff presentation. A list of streets
to be included was submitted to the Council. The project is
scheduled to be completed by the end of September.
3C. Consider discussion concerning restricting on -street
truck parking. Joe Vining made the following presentation. The
question of restricting truck parking on city streets throughout
the City has been raised. Truck parking, for vehicles exceeding
twenty feet in length, is presently restricted to five minutes
in residential areas, with certain necessary exceptions.
98 August 13, 1987
Restrictions in Commercial and Industrial zones should be less
restrictive. Staff requested the Council consider the
restriction of on street truck parking anywhere in the City
between the hours of ten p.m. and six a.m. This resolution
should apply to vehicles exceeding twenty feet in length.
Councilman Heiligenstein said that he was in favor of the
change. Staff was instructed to bring back an ordinance for
consideration.
3D. Consider a presentation of the ProJected Project report
for Palm Valley Park. Sharon Prete made the staff presentation.
The City has invested over seven million dollars in the
acquisition and master plan phase of Palm Valley Park. It is the
consensus of the Council Committee that the City should move
forward on this project, using available funds, since the G.O.
Bond Election has been postponed. The Regional Park/Golf Course
Committee made the following recommendations. 1) That the City
spend one million dollars from interest income, and continue to
pursue grant programs. An application has been submitted to
Texas Parks and Wildlife for a 50-50 Local Park Fund matching
grant. 2) That Phase I development include but not be limited to
road improvements, utilities, ballfields and picnic facilities.
3) That a Project Manager be hired to coordinate all phases of
development. 4) That an engineering firm be retained to perform
necessary engineering tasks. 5) That, through N.G. Whitlow, all
community resources be tapped for possible cash contributions,
materials, machinery, equipment, manpower and volunteer work
force.
Councilman Culpepper and Mayor Pro -tem Lee will interview
for the project manager position and make a recommendation at
the August 27th Council meeting.
Mayor Pro -tem Lee asked that an informal job description be
written for Mr. Whitlow so everyone has the same expectations.
3E. Consider discussion of guidelines for the Hotel/Motel
Tax. Bob Bennett made the staff presentation. The Council
I
I
I
August 13, 1987 99
committee decided to spend the existing hotel/motel tax money
that had been set aside for the civic center on a facade for the
City Hall Annex. The estimated costs of the facade is
approximately $60,000 and the approximate amount of money in the
set aside fund is $607000. The Committee also recommended that
the 7 cent hotel/motel tax levy on programs be spent to benefit
the hotel/motel industry. Specifically, I cent on the arts (Sam
Bass Theatre, Community Choir, etc.), 2 cents to tourism events
(City of Round Rack), 1 cent museum (Sheriffs' Museum or
comparable), 2 cents to the Chamber of Commerce for advertising,
and I cent to Chamber of Commerce in support of tourism and
advertising (salaries in support of tourism advertising).
The Committee also wants to establish guidelines that will
stipulate either how the program monies will be spent or have
guidelines and programs from the spending entities that explain
how the monies will be spent. All programs that are submitted
for funding and are funded would be auditable on a yearly basis
and would be subject to funding on a yearly basis. There was
some discussion about making sure that the Council had the
flexibility that it felt it needed and not hamstring itself with
the establishment of guidelines that might jeopardize future
programs in ways we do not now understand. But, the importance
of identifiable programs associated with identifiable
expenditures was of utmost importance. It was also suggested
that monies spent from hotel/motel taxes would go to new
programs and not necessarily existing programs.
Mayor Pro -tem Lee suggested that Sharon Prete head up the
City's tourism effort with the help of Bob Bennett.
Councilman King said he would like to see some new areas
addressed and find out what other towns are doing in the way of
tourism.
Councilman Culpepper suggested that a questionaire be
formulated to place in the local motels to find out why the
occupants chose Round Rack.
The remainder of the work session was considered at the end
of the meeting.

RESOLUTIONS:
13A. Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to enter
into a contract for the East Main Street CDBG Project. Jim Nuse
made the staff presentation. It was the opinion of Public Works
and Haynie Kallman & Gray, Inc. that a project of this magnitude
will stretch the equipment and personnel resources of the
company. While Virginia Drive is their first reconstruction
project and they have experienced difficulties in working around
existing utilities, their references have been generally very
good. Staff felt that by implementing bi-weekly construction
meetings to monitor progress and construction techniques, W.L.
Wood can successfully complete the job within the allotted time
104 August 13, 1987
frame and budget. Therefore, the staff recommended award of the
contract to W.L. Wood Excavation Company for $391,975.25.
The resolution was read by the Mayor:

improvements to East Main Street; and

13G. Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to enter
into a contract for McNeil Road Improvements Phase II. Espey
Huston and Associates submitted a letter of recommendation for
the second low bidder, Austin Paving Company for $1,292,768.70.
Staff voiced concern with the low bidder of W.L. Wood Excavating
Company. The concerns were as follows:
1. According to the Bidder's Qualification Statement, W.L.
Wood Excavating Company has completed only one street and
drainage project. The street and drainage project was new
construction and was for $69,625.90. Four other street and
drainage projects averaging $300,000 each were haulted by
1 10 August 13, 1987
owner due to economic or right of way constraints.
2. According to the Bidders Qualification Statement, current
projects exceed $2 million. The total dollar amount of
completed projects (not haulted by owner) is $1.4 million.
His current work load is substantial and we are concerned
with his ability to devote the necessary equipment and
qualified manpower to the project.
3. A reconstruction project of this magnitude has not been
completed by this contractor. His only reconstruction
experience according to the Qualification Statement is on
Virginia Drive in Round Rock. The contractor has experienced
difficulties with existing utilities.
Robert C. Howell, Attorney for W.L. Wood said his client
wished to refrain from protest of the award at this time.

NEW BUSINESS:
16A. Consider discussion concerning the Sister City Program.
David Hensley, Chairman of the Sister City Committee, made a
presentation to the Council. Hensley stated that the Committee
would like to send a Sister City Delegate to the 1987 October
Convention in Lake Macquarie. They would like the delegate to be
Joanne Land. The Sister City Committe has $780.00 and requested
that the Council fund the rest of the trip. They also suggested
that they would like to see Council also send a representative.
August 13, 1987
They stated that they chose Joanne as their delegate as she
could represent the Committee as well as be the staff exchange
person as has been discussed between the two cities.
Hensley went on to say the Committee would like to complete
the audio tape and slide show for presentation at the October
Convention in Lake Macquarie as well as organize a Frontier Days
fund raiser sponsored solely by the Sister City Committee.
Hensley went over the exchanges and programs planned for the
coming year which include: continue School exchanges, teacher
exchange, art exchange, soccer team exchange and penpal
exchange.
Mayor Robinson said he felt it was time the City agreed to
stand up and back the commitment made to this project.
16B. Consider a request by the YMCA to use the City swimming
pool. Sharon Prete made the presentation. The YMCA has requested
use of the Municipal Pool for a swim team and fitness program.
They would be responsible for paying their prorata share of pool
maintenance and operations costs. This program would not
conflict with RRISD usage of the pool. Council directed staff to
proceed with formulating a contract, to be presented at the next
Council meeting.
16C. Consider a request from Jehovah Witness Church to
receive water from Brushy Bend Water Supply Corporation. The
Jehovah Witness Church located on Sam Bass Road made a written
request to the Council for the use of water supplied to Brushy
Bend Water Supply Corporation. Staff recommended that the Church
be allowed to tie into the water system as requested because the
Church continues to experience difficulty with their drinking
water and the Department of Health has recommended that they use
water from a central supply instead of the well they have. This
would be just to supply the Church and no others. The Council
voiced no objections to the request.

Secretary's Office. Citizens are welcome to go to either

closed.
9B. Consider public testimony concerning the Ulan to amend
the Zoning Ordinance by rezoning a portion of High Country
Subdivision from District Interim SF -1 (Single Family
Residential Large Lots) to C-2 (Local Commercial). Joe Vining
made the staff presentation. This parcel was designated local
commercial in the General Plan. It was zoned Interim SF -1 upon
annexation due to outstanding roadway alignment questions. These
alignments have been finalized and the permanent C-2 local
commercial zoning may now proceed. This local commercial lot
would serve the needs of the High Country Subdivision.
There were no citizen comments, the public hearing was
closed.
9C. Consider public testimony concerning- the plan to amend
the Zoning Ordinance by rezoning property owned by McLester,
Grisham, Gardner Investors, Inc. from District MF (Multi -Family
Residential) to P.U.D. (Planned Unit Development). Joe Vining
made the staff presentation. The proposed medical office
building is functionally related to the hospital to the west,
and the nursing home, proposed to the south. To assure this
close functional relationship, the developers have requested
PUD. The project consists of two buildings to be constructed in
phases. Each building has two floors of office space over one
floor of parking. The strict height requirements of the existing
MF zone have been applied to assure massing compatible with the
area. No building within 200 feet of single family residential
exceeds two floors and no buildings exceed three floors. The
118 August 27, 1987
project has been placed to preserve as many trees as possible
and has maximized setbacks from Oakwood Blvd. and future
residential uses. All parking meets City standards and all
provisions of the landscape ordinance have been met or exceeded.
The detention area is designed not to conflict with the
retention of native trees in the detention area.
Staff recommended approval of the P.U.D. on first reading
only in accordance with the PUD agreement. Final reading needs
to be withheld until the PUD agreement has been signed and
returned to the City is a recordable form, approved by the City
Attorney and signed by the Trustee.
There were no citizen comments, the public hearing was
closed.
9D. Consider public testimony concerning amending the Zoning
Ordinance to allow lot averaging in the SF -2 (Single Family
Residential - Standard Lot) District. Joe Vining made the staff

subdivisions.
There were no citizen comments, the public hearing was
closed.

local restaurants. Currently, "drinking hours" inside the city
limits are 12:00 midnight. If Council so desired hours can be
extended to 2:00 a.m. but it would be for the entire City.
According to Chief Wolff the local drinking establishments have
not caused a significant police problem. Staff said the impact
of the extended hours would be a positive affect but it would be
difficult to say how positive the impact would be. Council
requested that the issue be placed on the next agenda under
public hearings as well as an ordinance.
48. Consider discussion concerning liability insurance for
firms under City contracts. Don Wolf made the staff
presentation. Staff recommended they be allowed to review
professional service contracts on a case by case basis to
evaluate City exposure. There is the possibility that an
increase in project costs could occur because of the City's
sharing of insurance premium costs. State laws on trenching will
132 September 10, 1987
have to be complied with by the City and contractors. Council
had no problem with staff implementing the case by case review.
4C. Consider discussion concerning revisions to the
Landscape Ordinance. Joe Vining made the staff presentation. The
ordinance changes would provide the following:
In cases where a particular site opportunity exists, or
where there is an unusual construction or site circumstance, an
alternative landscape plan which may not strictly comply with
the terms of this ordinance be submitted for approval to the
Director of Planning and Community Development. This change will
allow an "alternate plan option" for additional flexability for
unique circumstances and promote community development.
This item will be considered during the ordinance portion of
the meeting.
4D. Consider discussion concerning water and wastewater
service contracts. Jim Nuse made the staff presentation. The
contract was handed out to the Council. Council asked that the
item be placed on the next agenda in order to give them time to
review the generic contract.
4E. Consider a presentation and discussion concerning the
Certificate of Convenience and Necessity. Jim Nuse explained
that the CCN can be modified from time to time as necessary. The
changes that need to be made will hopefully be accomplished by
next summer.
4F. Committee Reports.
Councilman King asked that the Citizens G.O. Bond Task Force
be reconvened for a one time only meeting to look at staff's

the Austin Police Department concerning the 911 system. Austin

Department.

of the residents on East Main concerning the upcoming street
improvement project. Nuse explained that there were several
questions concerning drainage. Another meeting for the residents
will be held next Monday evening to continue the discussion.
Nuse responded to questions posed by Councilman Culpepper
concerning the McNeil Road Improvements.

OF THE BUDGET WITH THE COUNTY CLERK OF WILLIAMSON
COUNTY, TEXAS.
Jean Weber of the Child Development Center gave a handout to
Sam Huey to give to the Council concerning the operation of the
Day Care Center.
Councilman Heiligenstein asked staff to look at increasing
exemptions, if there is or will be a TP&L or Lone Star Gas
increase, and if there were to be a cut in positions there would
probably be a cut back on quality of services. Huey explained
that there are currently 16 frozen positions that are not funded
in the proposed budget; no lay offs are proposed.
Councilman ging addressed the frozen positions and asked
staff to look at lowering the budget $250,000 and determine
impact.
Councilman Heiligenstein and Councilman Ding discussed the
1/2 cent sales tax monies.

into the additional exemptions for the elderly.

warrant clerk. She said she felt the position was essential.

agent/utility fund manager. Mayor Pro -tem Lee did express her
concern with the hiring of a Economic Development Coordinator by
the City. She said she did not feel it was the right time to
bring the position into the City.
Mayor Robinson said he was also in favor of the exemptions
for the elderly and disabled. He asked staff to look at all the
exemptions for the people on fixed incomes. The Mayor said he
did not want to cut back in services but wanted to see how the
budget could be adjusted so that the tax rate would remain at
42.69 cents. He also said he wanted staff to look at the fund
balances on the revenue side and maintain the balances but not
to put more into those accounts than is absolutely necessary. He
continued by saying that growth related positions can be
justified. Mayor Robinson said there is no one that does not
deserve a raise and that if situations are better by mid -year
the Council should consider raises at that time.

into an agreement to provide the City of Austin with interim
wastewater service. This agreement will permit Austin to provide
100 LUE's of wastewater service to its customer, Fern Bluff. The
economic impact is that Round Rock will receive revenue from
both water and wastewater sales.
RESOLUTION NO.
WHEREAS, the City of Round Rock has previously entered into
a contract with certain other parties to construct facilities
for transportation and treatment of wastewater; and
WHEREAS, one of the parties experienced financial
difficulties and has been unable to proceed with their share of
the project; and

City of Round Rock to provide service on an interim basis to
those customers who would be without adequate service; Now

13J. Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to enter
into an Interim Regional Wastewater Agreement with the Brushy
Creek WCID, City of Austin and Williamson County Municipal
Utility District No. 3. Since MUD #2 has dropped out of the
regional sewer project, the original contract has expired. This
Interim Regional Agreement is a vehicle to proceed with the best
efforts of the remaining customers to continue with the regional
project. Round Rock's share for line and common costs have
increased from 11% to 14%. This would result in an increase in
our share. This assumes that MUD #21s money will not be
available. If MUD #2's money becomes available, our share should
not change.
RESOLUTION NO.
WHEREAS, Williamson County Municipal Utility District No. 2
has given notice that it will not participate in the Regional
Wastewater System; and
WHEREAS, the remaining customers wish to continue in
furtherance of the regional system; and
WHEREAS, the City of Round Rock believes the regional system
to be in its best interest; Now Therefore
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROUND ROCK,

Regional Agreement with the City of Austin, Williamson County
Municipal District No. 3 and Brushy Creek Water Control and

PUBLIC HEARINGS:
10A. Consider public testimony concerning the proposed
1987-88 Budget. City Manager Bob Bennett made the presentation.
There were three significant things that had occured since the
first reading of the ordinance. 1) Tax collection rate had been
increased from 92% to 94.5%; 2) 1/2 of the sales tax windfall is
proposed for general fund expenditures; and 3) $3507000 of the
projected growth in the general fund ending balance is proposed
to be spent in the general fund. The result would be that the ad
valorem taxes will be lowered .5% to 42.5 cents/100. Bennett
also said staff proposed that the over 65 exemptions be
increased from $10,000 to $157000. Three new personnel were
proposed: 1) Municipal Court Warrant Clerk; 2) Purchasing
Agent/Utility Officer Manager (funded 1/2 year); and 3) Economic
Development Coordinator. Merit pay increases were proposed at 3%
1.58 September 24, 1987
to be effective April 1988 if funds are available and sixteen
positions approved under the last year's budget have been frozen
and are not funded under the proposed budget.
There were no citizen comments, the public hearing was
closed.
10C. Consider public testimony concerning proposed changes
to the water and sewer rates. Bob Bennett made the staff
presentation. Since the first reading of the ordinance to
increase water and wastewater rates, two very significant
possibilities have come to light that can result in maintaining
a rate status quo for this next operating year.
First, the City has surplus revenue bond proceeds and
interest income that can be used to fully fund the utility
reserve fund. By fully funding the reserve fund two things
happen: (1) a transfer of $201,468 is no longer required and (2)
the utility fund is strengthened. It was staff's opinion that
accomplishing the fully funding of the reserve fund will help
the City's utility system become a stronger credit in the market
place and enhance our bond rating.
Second, the staff proposed to spend $2507000 of the
projected growth in the utility fund. The result will be that
the utility rate will not have to be raised.
The staff recommended the full funding of the utility
reserve fund and the spending of a portion of the projected
growth in the utility fund ending balance thereby keeping
utility rates at their present level.
10C. Consider public testimony concerning the hours of sale
of mixed beverages, wine and beer. Staff asked the Council's
guidance on whether or not to extend the hours of sale of mixed
beverages from 12:00 midnight to 2:00 a.m.
Jim Mason, 16810 FM 1325, stated he was very much against
extending the hours of sale as well as against drinking mixed
beverages, wine or beer at anytime.
There were no other citizen comments, the public hearing was
closed.
10D. Consider public testimony concerning the plan to rezone
I
I
September 24, 1987 x.59
Lot 1 of Corridor Park One from C-1 to I-1. The staff
presentation was made by Joe Vining. The subject property is
presently developed. The site contains several commercial
industrial buildings. Corridor Park is designed as an industrial
park and was proposed for a mix: of industrial and commercial
uses. An industry wishes to occupy the buildings to assemble
electronic components. Staff sees this clean type of industry as
fully compatable with the purpose of Corridor Park and
recommended approval of the rezoning request.
There were no citizen comments; the public hearing was
closed.
ORDINANCES:
11A. Consider an ordinance adopting the 1987-88 Budget.
(Second Reading) Mayor Robinson read the caption of the
ordinance.
ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE APPROVING AND ADOPTING A BUDGET FOR THE
CITY OF ROUND ROCK, TEXAS, FOR THE FISCAL YEAR
BEGINNING OCTOBER 17 19877 AND ENDING SEPTEMBER 307

OF THE BUDGET WITH THE COUNTY CLERK OF WILLIAMSON
COUNTY, TEXAS.
Councilmen Heiligenstein, King, and Culpepper all said they
felt the proposed budget with the changes as brought out during
the public hearing, was an excellent budget. The budget based on
"22 new home starts a month." Mayor Pro -tem Lee asked what would
happen and how long the City could maintain the budget without
the 22 starts". Sam Huey said staff monitors the revenues and
expenditures on a day to day basis and if a negative change in
the fund balance was to occur then adjustments would have to be
made immediately. All alternatives would be submitted to the
Council for consideration.
Mayor Robinson stressed the need for new business to come to
Round Rock. He also read a letter from John Turner, District
Manager for Texas Utility Electric, which stated that TU
Electric does not anticipate a rate increase request during the
next fiscal year. Lone Star Gas representatives stated they
would "probably" file an intent to raise the rates sometime
160
September 24, 1987
during the next year.
Councilman Culpepper asked Bennett to visit with every
department and let the employees know they are doing a good job
and are appreciated. Mayor Robinson echoed the statements made
by Councilman Culpepper.
Councilman Heiligenstein expressed his desire to consider
some type of raise for the lower levels of employees.
Mayor Pro -tem Lee expressed her concern with proposing three
new personnel when the budget does not anticipate raises and
does not propose to include any of the 16 frozen positions.

Currently, Letters of Credit for the entire amount of $3317144
are on deposit with the City. The Hardrock Joint Venture project
is currently operating a sewage plant upstream of Round Rock. If
the City allows the current 1 year extension of the contract,
the project will not be constructed for quite awhile. When this
line is in place, the Hardrock project can be taken off line.
The Southwest Group has scheduled a meeting for next week to
determine if they wish to proceed or drop out. The Letters of
Credit are good until December 31, 1987. The Mayor indicated he
felt this project should be put off until the economy picks up.

4. Allowing for variances to sign height within set terms
of reference. These terms of reference could include the
following items:
a.) Sliding scale of sign size to sign height with sign
size reducing with height -this would allow an option
for a business to choose the best combination of
height and size for his needs. The reduced size for
taller signs would provide some incentive to keep
heights down except where necessary.

options for several smaller signs in place of one
large sign. This may be useful for corner sites
etc...

20 (Robinson 2/RR 620), Tract 16 (Sam Bass Tract), and Tract 15
(Sauls). Three of the tracts 17, 18 and 20 were recommended for
annexation of right-of-way rather than the entire tracts.
Sue Hoover, who has 20 acres and Charles Dumas, who has 25
acres, both voiced their objections to the annexation of the
Forsman Tract. It was the consensus of the Council this tract be
excluded from the Plan.
Jeffrey Gill, 2015 Sam Bass Road, spoke against the

life. I just want to live in peace on my land."
011lie Olson also spoke against the Tract 16 annexation. He
feels he has sufficient services without being in the City

Gary Patterson and J.R. Gill both spoke against annexation
of the Sam Bass Tract. They said they or their neighbors have no
intention of developing the property.
The resident at 16 Hidden Acres said he could see no

the annexation of Tract 7 (Hidden Acres i & 2).

November 4« 1987
Three Round Rock East residents Larry Wiggington, 90{) East
Rock Cove, Howard Wolf, 1808 Gattis School Road and Mike
Pavlick, 1000 East Rock Cove spoke in opposition to the
annexation of Tract 3 (Round Rock East). They all said they did
not feel they would reap any benefits by being inside the city
limits'. Costs of services was discussed. Councilman
Heiligenstein asked staff to calculate services and make
available to citizens and Council the results.
The next tract to be considered was Tract 10 (Round Rock
Glen). �
Rod Morgan, owner of Lot 1A said he supports annexation but
wanted to request C-1 zoning so that the zoning would meet what
the property is currently used for.
Jane McAdams, representing Round Rock National Bank owners
of Lots 4B and 7B7 stated her client supports annexation of both
tracts.
Holland Smith, owner of Lot 1C supported annexation with
commercial zoning for resale purposes.
Also in support of annexation was Lyndell Cannon of 8 Lake
Drive.
14 Lake Drive resident, Ben Salazar said he was in favor of
annexation but wanted all 146 acres zoned residential and not
commercial. He recommended property be left in non -conforming
status.
Lewis Beltran of 18 Lake Drive said he wasn't for or against
annexation but wanted the area to remain residential.
Rosalinda Be1tran7 owner of Lot 8AA7 was concerned that once
the property is annexed, her lot will be subject to all City
codes relative to building as she is currently building her
home. Steve Sheets will get the statute numbers for Ms. Beltran.
21 Lake Drive resident Joe Beltran said he "can't see %~m
getting anything for my tax dollar." Councilman Heiligenstein
again asked staff to "spell out" what ad valorem tax dollars pay
for.
Leo Curtsinger said he was not a part of Cross Creek
Subdivision e*enthough his land is included in Tract 17. He said
November 4, 1987 205
he does not want to be annexed but if he is he wants to be
commercially zoned.
Bill Knox, a resident of Found Rock: Glen, advised the
Council of a feed lot type operation next to his property. He is
not opposed to annexation but wants City control of
non-residential uses in the area if annexed.
Parson Smith said if the City takes only a strip instead of
a whole tract, it should take as small a strip as possible.
Albert Lange said he was opposed to the Cross Creek:
annexation.
"I have no desire to be annexed," stated Robert Duff of 2000
Cross Creek: Trail.
There being no further comments, the public hearing was

provide for on street parking.
Action was scheduled for the regular session.
4E. Consider discussion of a change order for Sunset Street
Improvements. Jim Nuse made the staff presentation. The
improvements on this street have been completed and serve the
functions for which they were designed. Several residents,
primarily on the north side of the road, have complained that
the drainage ditch is too steep to be maintained by elderly
homeowners, parking is difficult and access to some of the
properties is difficult. It was estimated to cost $15,471.25 to
enclose the storm sewer along the north side of Sunset Drive.
Action was scheduled for the regular session.
4F. Consider a presentation concerning provision of a zoning
district for schools. Staff examined a few zoning ordinances to
determine how the zoning of schools was administered. A sample
of Round Rock, Austin, and Plano waas presented:
Round Rock:
Public Schools - Conditional use in SF -1, SF -2, TF, MF and C-1.
Private Schools - Conditional use in SF -1, SF -2, TF, MF and C-1.
Austin:
Public Schools - Permitted use in all residential zones.
Private Schools - Conditional use in all residential zones.
Plano:
Public Schools - Permitted use in all residential zones.
Private Schools - Conditional use in all residential zones.
Some ordinances do however, have an institutional zone which
includes schools and other public and quasi -public uses. Such
zones could include the following:
m��
����V November 12« 1987
1) Churches
2) Schools
3) Day Care Centers (over 6 children)
4) Nursing Homes
5) Community Halls
6) Group Homes (over 6 clients)
7) Other government, fire stations, etc.
Typically the communities that work closely with their
independent school district have either freely permitted schools
or have allowed them as a conditional use. Round Rock has
followed the conditional use procedure since 1981 primarily to
ensure traffic questions were resolved before construction.
If the institutional zone is adopted, a review of the
additional costs to the RRISD must be considered. The zoning
application is $500 and the additional district staff time to
pursue the zoning request will be a factor. However, certain
benefits in site selection may afford the RRISD savings in land
costs. Staff's knowledge of tracts with adequate services and
access is not always utilized to the maximum.
Staff was instructed to set up a meeting with Dr. Brent Rock
of the RRISD and 3 Counci1members to discuss this item.
4G. Committee Reports. Mayor Pro -tem Lee stated the Sports
Fest Committee had it~s first meeting and will meet twice a
month.
4H. City Manaaer's Report. Bob Bennett reported that the
bond sale amount will be reduced to $178007000 due to the
reduction of the amount needed for the frontage road project.
41. Council Comments. Councilan Heiligenstein stated he
would like to see the Council consider a joint meeting with the
School Board.
Jim Nuse gave an update on the East Main project at the
request of Councilman Correa.
Councilman Culpepper stated he had asked staff to research
the possibility of participating in the Dial -A -Ride Program. A
full report will be back to Council soon.
