The Round Rock. City Council met in Work Session and Regular
Session Thursday, June 23, 1988, at 6:00 p.m. in the City
Council Chamber, 221 East Main Street.
` ROLL CALL: Those members present were Mayor Mike Robinson,
Mayor Fro -tem Ronnie Jean, Councilman John Hood, Councilman
Glenn T. King, Councilman Fete Correa, Councilman Charles
III Culpepper, and Councilwoman Trudy L. Lee. Also present were City
jManager Bob Bennett, Assistant City Manager Sam Huey and City
Attorney Steve Sheets.
WORE: SESSION:
3A. Consider a presentation concerning revisions to the Sion
Ordinance. Joe Vining made the staff presentation. Staff was
I�
requested to prepare amendments to the sign ordinance. These
amendments should allow the placement of political signs and
real estate signs not exceeding four square feet in size within
the public right-of-way immediately adjacent to the property of
persons authorizing such signs. Real estate signs may only be
placed in right-of-way adjacent to the property being offered
Ih for sale or lease. These amendments should apply to single
I� family and two family residential zones only and in no case
i
shall signs be placed in the right-of-way of a designated
arterial highway.
Steve Sheets pointed out there were other areas of the
ordinance that needed to be addressed such as the procedure
Public Works uses to pick the signs up and also in the
administration of the ordinance, giving notices, etc. While the
change to allow the signs to go to the curb is fairly simple
other changes can be fixed all at once. The ordinance would
J also need to be fine tuned whetherall residential properties
would be included and whether that would include apartments and
duplexes. Also the ordinance would need to be enforceable and
easy to understand. Campaign signs were also brought up.
3B. Consider a presentation concerning the 911 system.
Chief Wolff distributed some information on the 911 system to
I the Council. Mary Boyd, the State Coordinator for the 911
w�
2 -June 23, 1908
System, briefed the Council. There is a legislation on the books
that provides a funding mechanism for the enhancement of the 911
system. The legislation was originally introduced as a state
wide mandate but was amended and is currently only required in
counties with a population of 120,000 or more. Round Rock is a
part of the Austin 911 system and can be grandfathered. Ms.
Boyd asked Council to consider, passing a resolution to
participate in the planning process. CAPCO has the
responsibility of looking at this region and determining who
wants to take advantage of the legislation. If Council decides
they are interested, it provides a funding mechanism for
enhancement of 911 at the time the plan was approved then
Council will be committed to the funding structure but not until
that point. The funding structure is a maximum of no more than
50 cents per month per access line. It will be set based on
cost of the 911 service. There is an equalization fund that
comes off of entra-state long distance service. Ms. Boyd asked
the Council to consider this resolution so they can achieve the
goal of having one emergency number in the State and this would
also include the option of up grading their current
communication system. The Council discussed the rate and cost
along with the benefits to the City. The Mayor asked that this
item be on the next agenda.
3C. Consider --a- presentation on a drainage propos 1 for The
Flat. Bennett briefly went over the history of the drainage in
The Flat. In the late seventies a Community Development Block
Grant was received. Bennett described the type of improvements
done with the federal funds. He added there is approximately
$2007000.00 left in the drainage fund that was authorized for
parts of town west of the Interstate. Due to the efforts of
others and the City by using detention ponds and help from
Austin White Lime, flood water was controlled. With the
available funds a proposal for permanent improvements in the
Flat is being considered. Nuse said a portion of the detailed
engineering still needs to be accomplished and described some of
those improvements. "The Flat" includes those properties from

3E. CITY MANAGER`S REPORT:
Bennett said staff would like to bring back: an ordinance
amendino what is charged for testing meters. He described the
procedure and cost that is currently beinq used.
Another ordinance proposed to be brought back: is that
skateboards and bicycles be prohibited from the garage and
downtown sidewalks. Complaints have been received from the
merchants downtown on the safety and liability issues.
Bennett met last week with Pave Tabor, Manager of
Cablevision, to discuss the possibility of using Channel 15 as
Round Rocks emergency access channel to keep the public informed
on tornados, emergency situations, etc.
Bennett commented on a report regarding weedy lots by Paul
Gambrel. He complimented Gambrel and Marion Hastings on the good
work they have done getting some of the properties cleaned.
Bennett concluded his report by handing out the resume of
i
Richard Phelps, the golf course architect. He said there are
some problems with the contract which are minor that need to be
i
corrected.

CATION:
Lewis Aven, a member of the Williamson County Humane
Society, spoke on the problems of abandoned animals. He
addressed the proposed animal shelter to be established and
managed on 3 acres of City property located east of town
fronting Highway 79. The proposal has been reviewed informally
by staff. Aven gave a brief rundown on the cost and what was
proposed. Huey said the staff does have a copy of the proposal
but there are some adjustments that need to be made prior to
Council receiving a copy. In response to Mayor Robinson's
question, Aven said the operation budget for the facility would
be $531400.00 and this is based on the City receiving 2,000
animals. Councilwoman Lee asked where the other part of the
budget would come from. He said revenues, fund raisers and they
would be contacting other municipalities, cities and counties
and contract for services with them. The Council questioned
whether the facility will serve Williamson County or Round Rock"
Aven said City of Round Rock only and amount stated is 30% of a
full scale shelter operation. Council said if others will
benefit from the program then they should also help. Council
expressed concern on paying 30% of the budget for the entire

June 23« 1988
Smith said, "the City interpreted 302 Gas Utilities
Regulatory Act, which is the basis by which Mr. Willis defended
his position last week, to mean that the rate set by the
Commission should be based on expenses, revenue and rate base
with the Cit), limits." He continued that the Railroad
Commission -'s response was "there is insufficient evidence in the
record to justify establishment of two separate rates or to
depart from Commission practices of setting one rate for
distribution system, therefore, the examiners recommend that one
rate be set for the Pflugerville distribution system. This was
the examiners recommendation, the Railroad Commission acted on
that recommendation and approved it. Consequently it went to the
courts and they upheld it.
The Council discussed various points of the rates in
commercial and residential. Rates when there is a weather change
was also discussed. Councilman King asked if the service area

12D. Consider_a resolution authorizing the Mayor to enter
into a contract for a golf course architect. Bennett stated the
Golf Course Committee received several golf course proposals. He
briefly went over the proposal. He said what he is asking of
1 Council is to authorize the Mayor to enter into a contract they
Ii have not seen and make it subject to approval of the Golf Course
" Committee, City Attorney and Staff. Mayor Fro -tem Jean said they
have already set their limits. Bennett said he would not
anticipate that they would come close to exceeding those.
Jim Mills was present and represented the group that
presented the proposal. The Mayor asked Mr. Mills if his group
forsees any problems with the team the Council has established
Mills said they had a meeting with the Golf Course Committee and
Council's professional team and have been negotiating various
items to get to the dedication of approximately 170 acres of
land for the golf course. Mills people, without meeting or
knowing the City's professional team, were very concerned if
that was the right way to go. Last week: a meeting was organized
between that group, the Franklin group and the Killeen group.
The Franklin group was impressed with the professionalism, the
knowledge and depth of experience of all the parties that were
assembled as a team to build the golf course. So far Mills is
very satisfied that City staff and the golf committee selected a
group of very compedent people with a vast range of experience
of doing quality golf operations.
Mills added there are points that still need to be done to
finalize.

RESOLUTIONS:
llA. Consider_ a resoluti.on designating one oi_ more sites as
preferred locations for a _future c�o.lf course or courses. Bob
Bennett made the staff presentation. "The Golf Course Committee
has reviewed 5 golf course sites throughout the City. Two sites
lend themselves to golf course development more than the other
sites. Wort.. should begin on acquiring these two sites. The sites
are the IH 35 site located behind SCS reservoir it and the
Franklin 56:2.
We have received letters of intent from most property owners
in the SCS 11. area indicating their desire to wort:: with the City
so that land may be donated or long term easements may be
granted that will allow a golf course to be built.
Considerable work: remains to be accomplished on the Chandler
Creek site. The remaining wort; consists of property assemblage,
golf course routings and financing.
The Franklin 58' site negotiations have taken place over the
past 3 months. This site is closer to becoming a golf course.
However, Franklin Savings and Killeen Savings are subject to
r Federal Regulation and the Feds must approve any golf course
agreement. A preliminary agreement has been negotiated by the
Golf Committee and is in route to the Feds. If the Feds approve
the golf course land dedication, the Council will be asked to
enter into the agreement with Franklin and Killeen. The
88 July 28« 1988
agreement will of course be subject to Council discussion and
approval.
Once a golf course agreement is reached, we must then secure
financing to construct the course. Thus far we have dealt with
five very different finance packages. Three of the packages have
been municipal lease purchase arrangements and two have been
private finance packages." 7
Staff recommended selecting two golf course sites -the IH 35
site known as the Chandler Creek Site and the Franklin 582.
Bennett recommended authorizing staff to begin the bid process
for a City golf course. This action does not tie the Council to
any particular agreement but does commit the City to negotiating
golf course agreements on only these two sites.
Bennett stated the staff and committee recommendation was
based on a report done by golf course consultant, Robert
Glawson. The report stated Round Rock could accomodate two golf
course with the Franklin 582 site being built immediately and
the Chandler Creek site being developed in 1992.
Council set a special called meeting for Wednesday, August
3rd to consider a proposal from Franklin Savings. �
Mayor Robinson read the resolution as follows:
RESOLUTION NO.
WHEREAS, the City Council has previously indicated that it
was interested in acquiring land for a Municipal Golf Course,-
and
oursevand

provide help for the road district; and 4) give Round Rock a
first class golf course that is economically viable. Guthrie
then said a majority ofthe landowners are willing to donate

eminent domain powers or purchase the remainder of the land.

property.

this project. A committee consisting of Mayor Robinson,

The Found Rock City Council met in Work Session and Regular
Session Thursday, August 11, 19`8, at 6:00 p.m. in the City
Council Chamber, 221 East Main Street.
ROLL -CALL: Those members present were Mayor Mike Robinson,
` Mayor Fro -tem Ronnie Jean arrived during the discussion of item
_B, Councilman John Hood, Councilman Glenn T. king, Councilman
Fete Correa, Councilman Charles Culpepper and Councilwoman Trudy
L. Lee. Also present were City Manager Bob Bennett, Assistant
City Manager Sam Huey, City Attorney Steve Sheets and City
Secretary Joanne Land.
WORK SESSION:
3A_ Consider_a presentation concerning th_e_Highway Landscape
Developglent Program. Mayor Robinson asked that the record
reflect that he may participate in the discussion of this
project as his business can not and will not bid on this
project.
Bob Belanger of Belanger & Smith Associates, Inc, made the
presentation to the Council. Belanger reviewed a slide
presentation showing examples of what will be accomplished in
the proposed landscape program. This project will be
accomplished through the cooperative efforts of the State
Department of Highways and Public Transportation and the City of
I
Round Rock. Both entities pledged $100,000 for Phase One
implementation of planting and irrigation improvements.
Belanger then gave an explanation of the tree holding area
and then Council discussed the proposed irrigation system.
3B. Consider a presentation concerninqthe _proposed 1988-89
Budget. Bob Bennett informed the Council that the City lost
$71,000,000 in tax base this year and the budget will be very
close and "cut into the bone."
David Kautz, Assistant Finance Director, made the staff
presentation. Kautz stated that there are no proposed cuts to
1
essential services in the budget. Also, there are 18 fewer
employees now than this time last year. The budget is based on
i
a proposed tax rate of x.42. Kautz handed out a detailed sheet
for Council to review.
52 August 11, 1988
Mayor Robinson said the Council would consider holding
neighbhorhood meetings if the citizens so desired. There will
be public hearings on the budget at the two regular meetings in
September.
3C. Consider discussion concerning an amendment to the Sian
Ordinance. Joe Vining made the staff presentation. The sign
ordinance does not provide for subdivision entrance signs nor
area identification signs. The signs in existance that identify
Round Rock: West, The Oaklands and South Creel: are
non -conforming.
Additionally, if a commercial or industrial area is trying
to establish an identity, they currently must i_itilize a section
in the ordinance under commercial signage. For example, if
someone wanted to promote the area around the hospital as "The
Round Rock Medical Complex", they would have to utilize their
commercial sign allottment to identify an area.
The staff drafted an ordinance that can solve these
problems. It can be added to the changes that are currently
being drafted concerning political and real estate signs.
3D. Consider discussion concerning the 170 Center. Jim Nuse
made the staff presentation. The Round Rock Industrial Park
partnership is requesting service to their 142.9 acre tract
located on the south side of County Road 170. The tract is
mostly inside Williamson County and is located within Auastin's
E.T.J. The partnership is a member of the Southeast Round Rock
Utility Group.
Nuse went over a memo he sent to City Manager Bob Bennett
dated J u I y 13, 1988. In the memo Nuse stated, "However for
those tracts which are currently, or may become, outside the
extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City, the City does agree
that they will not be refused service merely for the reason that
they cannot be annexed to the City." In conclusion, Nuse went
over the following five points:
1. Developer should formally request disannexation from
Austin E.T.J.
2. Round Rock: request an opportunity for input in Austin
MUD review process.
1
August 11, 1988
Work: out servicing details prior to the service
commitment.
4. Need to annex into Southeast Road District.
5. Pay CRF's in blocks or up front.
3E. Consider an update on the Vista Heights Project. Jim
Nuse made the staff presentation. Vista Heights SA has been
under reconstruction for several months and it is now nearing
completion. Nuse complimented Terra Engineering for their
diligent efforts in the completion of the project. Nuse said he
was pleased wiiih the progress.

Creekview Drive (from Oakridge to Messick)v $6,000 worth of

=C., Councilman John Hood, Councilman Glenn T. King, Councilman
Charles Culpepper and Councilwoman Trudy L. Lee. Also present
were City Manager Bob Bennett, City Attorney Steve Sheets and
City Secretary Joanne Land.
WORK: SESSION:
:1A. Consider a presentation by the Williamson County Humane
Society. Staff proposed that 1) the City get out of the Animal
Shelter business; <) the animal control remain in a Citv
function; _0 the animal shelter be as close to cost neutral as
possible; 4) the City review all animal fees and processes; 5)
the City lease property for a new shelter; and U) the City help
establish new facility at a cost of about $10,000.
The Williamson County Humane Society was represented by
Lewis Aven, Mayland Arnett and Dr. Jane Duncan. Mr. Arnett made
I
the presentation for the Society. The Williamson County Humane
Society is a private non-profit corporation which seeks to
alleviate
animal
suffering
as well as to
educate
people
concerning
animal
problems
within Williamson
County.
The
Society is ten years old and is currently raising funds to build
a permanent animal shelter and adoption center. The Society had
two principal objectives in coming to the City: 1) to negotiate
a lease with option to purchase with the City for a parcel of
City owned land for the purpose of building a permanent animal
shelter and education center; and 2) to negotiate an operating
agreement with the City to operate a public pound on behalf of
the City at the proposed site.
Council and society representatives discussed various
aspects of the proposal as well as difficulties in getting
citizens to register their animals. Discussion ensued concerning
licensing at the City animal control office as opposed to
licensing at the various vet offices.
��
��� September 8, 1988
Fee amounts neutering vs. not neutering was also discussed.
The Council said they want another work session on this item
and that it should be given top priority.
2-11B. Consider gt presentation on the proposed 198'-:3-89 budget.
Bob Bennett recommended the Council consider including a warrant
officer in this year's budget. The officer would be a certified
peace officer in the Police Department and his or her salary
would be supported by the revenues the City would gain by
collection of the outstanding warrants. Bennett suggested the
City try this program for one year and monitor during that
year. Bennett also told the Council that Chilton and Associates
have "backed out" of the contract to collect delinquent utility
bills. He asked permission to bring back another recommendation
on the collection of utility bills. Council agreed to look at
both suggestions.
David Kautz, Assistant Finance Director, made a short
presentation. Kautz stated that two requests for funds have
come to the staff. One from CARTS and the other is a request
for additional funding for the Volunteer Center. Further,
information will be given during the public hearing.
Safety Program. Wes Wolff, Chief of Police made the
presentation. Staff recommended that the Council implement a
planned Selective Traffic Enforcement Project (STEP) that will
apply additional enforcement efforts at those locations, time of
day, and day of week against driving while intoxicated violations
at specific locations where either a high incidence of
alcohol-related crashes occur or where the potential exists. A
proposed budget of $32,655.00 for the first year will be
reimbursed by the State Highway Department (100% of actual
cost). Renewal of the second year will be 75% and the third
year 50% of actual costs. Wolff said he felt additional revenue
will be increased to the City from other traffic violations
filed by officers working the STEP Program.
Wolff also asked that the Council consider implementing a
Driver Behavior Selective Enforcement - Traser Program. All
Texas jurisdictions that are charged with the responsibility of
.7
7
September 8, 1988
traffic law enforcement have a common problem in trying to
identify where to place their limited resources in order to have
the greatest impact on the motor vehicles accidents involved in
their jurisdiction. Data they receive is sometimes three or
four months old before they have an opportunity to evaluate
their needs. TRASER is needed to allow for up -to -the --minute
input in order to do the best planning possible.
The objective is to reduce the total accidents at
TRASER-selected sites and to build an automated traffic records
system to record 100"' of all accident reports and police
citations.
The proposed budget for the first year is $16,540.76, which
is totally reimbursed by the State. The City does have to
furnish a P.C. Computer. A computer will have to be purchased
in the amount of approximately $2,900.00 over and above the
$16,540.76. The majority of the budget is for hiring of the
data -entry clerk, who will handle both the TRASER and STEP
paperwork:.
The City may "drop out" of the program at anytime.
Council said they felt the programs were very worthwhile and
asked staff to include the additional #2,90() in the budget to
purchase the necessary computer.
:D. Consider—a slide. presentation b_ the Round_ Rock _Fire
Department. This particular slide presentation is used as a
supplement to a lecture that explains some of the problems the
fire department and the City encountered while handling the
derailment which occured December 12, 1987. The slide/tape
program is geared toward depicting Round Rock's evolution as a
railway based community and a short synopsis of how the event
transpired. Actual radio traffic records during the disaster
was included in the presentation.
E. Committee Reports. None.
3F. City Manager's Report.
Bob Bennett reported that before the City had surface water
it relied on wells to supply all the necessary waiver to Round
m
September Bv 1988
Rock residents. During that period the City enacted an
ordinance which requires mandatory water rationing when well #4
reaches 100 feet. Staff asked that they be allowed to bring
back an ordinance amending the mandatory rationing ordinance and
bringing it up-to-date. Council agreed.
3G. Council Comments. None.

I 1C. Consider an ordinance adopting --the 1 159 8 8 - 8 9 budget.
(First ReadiDq) The General Fund budget proposes a $0.42 tax
rate compared to last year's actual rate of $0.425. Total
revenues also reflect an increased transfer from the Utility
Fund of $100,000 over last year. Expenditures are extremely
conservative with each department budget except fire, police,
and debt service at or below last year's level. Fire and Police
departments have slightly increased expenditure levels while
debt service requires a significant increase to cover scheduled
principal and interest payments.
The Utility Fund proposes a budget that requires an increase
of the minimum water bill by $1.50 per month. This increase is
expected to provide a much needed revenue source to fund
operational expenditure needs. Total expenditures are
essentially at last year's level with the exception of an
increased transfer to the General Fund of $100,000.

RESOLUTIONS:
13A. Consider a resolution objecting to the sale of the
County landfill. The presentation was made by Bob Bennett.
Williamson County is out for bids to sell the County Landfill.
The County needs the revenue from the sale in order to pay for
the new County Jail and Courts Building. The County receives a
royalty from the operation of the landfill. It is the City's
information that the royalty amounts to $60,000 and that this
revenue stream can be expected to grow as more haulers use the
dump and growth occurs. The City's biggest concern is that the
future owner of the landfill can now also be a hauler, and thus
monopolize the waste business. The landfill is an absolute
necessity for Williamson County. By passing the resolution as
presented Round Rock will join the cities of Cedar Park and
Taylor in voicing displeasure with the sale of this public
asset.
Council asked Bennett to draft a cover letter to the County
to be sent with the resolution if passed.
Mayor Robinson read the resolution as follows:
RESOLUTION NO.
WHEREAS, the Williamson County Commissioners' Court
displayed excel).ent foresight in purchasing property and
obtaining permits for the operation of a sanitary landfill for
the use of Williamson County citizens, and
WHEREAS, the City of Round Rock's private garbage collector
utilizes the county's landfill for, solid waste disposal, and
WHEREAS, the Commissioners' Court has advertised for bids to
sell the sanitary landfill, and
WHEREAS, such a sale would result in giving a private
i individual or corporation a virtual monopoly over solid waste
disposal in Williamson County, and
WHEREAS, such a monopoly could have adverse effects on the
garbage collection budgets of every city in the County, as well
as increase the garbage collection fees for every individual
resident, and
WHEREAS, the City Council wishes to communicate its concerns
to the Commissioners' Court, Now Therefore
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROUND ROCK:,
TEXAS

landfill, or in the alternative to postpone such a decision for

the cities and residents of Williamson County.

tried to remove the driver from the vehicle. They were unable to open the
doors of the vehicle so with the help of the truck driver the windshield

134 October 13, 1988
was broken out and the 2 Officers and the truck driver were able to rescue
Mr. Lindgreen from the automobile. The Officer used a fire extinguisher
to hold back the flames so Mr. Lindgreen could be rescued. Lt. Dwayne

Each issued stands on its own. The cost will run $1,000/issue/year for 2
issues (G.O. Bonds) and $1500/issue/year for 1 revenue bond issue. Total
annual cost will be $3,500.00.
3C. Consider an update concerning The Flat Drainage Project. The
staff presentation was made by Jim Nuse. The Flat Drainage Project was
designed to reduce flooding impact in the area by Main Street to the
South, Mays to the West, Brushy Creek to the North, and Spring Street to
the East. The project consisted of a series of valley gutters, concrete
drainage channels, pipe burried in the large existing ditches, and some
minor channel improvements. A plan of the area was presented. The cost
of the project was estimated between $70,000 and $100,000. The project
will be out to bid and back to the Council the first meeting in December.
156 October 27, 1988
3D. Consider an update concerning the Hunter's Ridge _Drainage
Project. Jim Nuse made the presentation. The Hunter's Ridge Channel is
located behind the Hunter's Ridge Apartments between Buckboard and the
frontage road. The project will construct an 8 foot wide concrete "V"
bottom channel. The purpose is to provide a low flow channel. Currently,
seepage from the Chisolm Valley hill keeps the channel boggy and very
difficult to maintain with the City equipment. With the channel properly
maintained, the hydraulic efficiency of the channel will be enhanced. The
cost of the improvements was estimated at $50,000. The design was done
in-house. Substantial savings in manpower is anticipated as well as
increased flood protection and estetic benefits. The bids will be
presented at the next meeting.
3E. Consider a presentation concerning a proposed budget for the Old
Settlers Park at Palm Valley, Sharon Prete gave the following outline for

for equipment as proposed for the flail bat wing mower for $38,000.00.
This item will be back to the Council for further consideration at another
meeting.
3F. Consider an update concerning Regional Sewer. Jim Nuse made the
presentation. Austin recently authorized it's City Manager to follow
through with the Regional Sewer Project. Nuse went over the current
project configuration; the current project schedule; the interium
wastewater disposal contract; the MUD #9 pre -construction agreement and
the funding status. Action item will be presented at the next regular

3G. Committee Reports. Councilman Hood stated that the Economic
Development Committee of the Chamber had passed unanimously on the

to visit with the Golf Course Committee. The Franklin contracts will be
presented to the Council in the near future for consideration.
The warrant program is progressing very rapidly.
Bennett reported that bond council fees are more effective for the
City on a flat fee basis. McCall, Parkhurst and Horton have a better rate
and, therefore, the staff would like to retain them as opposed to Vincent
and Elkins.
The staff will try to have a drawing of the intersection at Main/Mays
and Round Rock Avenue at the next work session.
3I. Council Comments. Mayor Robinson asked staff to look at the cross
walk by the high school. "If the school cannot manage the crosswalk then
it should be removed." Bennett said the problem would be taken care of by
Thanksgiving.

cost", but includes no definition or estimate. Before the City can agree
to pay such costs we have to know what we are agreeing to.
Since the contract between the Brazos River Authority and the Lake
Granger Water Supply Corporation provides for annual payments, the staff
believed that it would be appropriate for the City's payments to also be
made annually.
The staff saw no reason to include paragraph 3. in this Contract. If
November 10, 1988 175
for some reason treated water becomes an issue in the future, the City can
negotiate the terms then.
As for paragraph 4., the Staff was of the understanding that the
Contract mentioned was the one to be signed now. Staff did not see the
purpose of two contract.
The City should agree to pay only properly authorized legal and
engineering fees after the exectuion of this Contract. Cost incurred
prior to that time have not been approved by the City.
Staff hoped a new raw water allocation contract could be prepared for
review by the City in a timely manner.
The allocations to the City from Lake Granger Water Supply Corporation
is 1,258 MGD. In order for the City to take raw water from Lake Granger
the City needs at lease 3 MGD. The 3 MGD is the lease amount of raw water
that will allow for benefits to exceed costs. Staff hopes that additional
raw water allocations can be made to the City.
Staff recommended the Council vote NO on the proposed Contract and be
authorized to inform the Lake Granger Water Supply Corporation of the
Council's and staff's concerns.
Council said they would take appropriate action during the regular
meeting.
3C. Consider a presentation concerning possible guidelines for the
use of the Old City Hall Annex Building. Sharon Prete went over the
proposed guidelines and fee schedule. Mayor Pro -tem Jean voiced his
concern that $100 was not enough deposit for a social function. This item
will be brought back to the Council for action at the next regular
meeting.
3D. Committee Reports.
Councilman Culpepper stated that the Golf Course Committee met with
the golf course architect, Dick Phelps. The golf course project is moving
"forward". Hutto's ETJ has been released to Round Rock.
3E. City Manager's Report.
Bob Bennett asked the Council to review the report sent to the City
from the Highway Department concerning the progress of the IH35 project.
The City received a contract from the County for $36,000 to be given
to the Round Rock Volunteer Fire Department. Bennett asked if the
Council would object to having the County contract directly with the
Volunteer Fire Department. The Council asked Bennett to get with the
Volunteer Fire Department and the County and inform both entities of the
176 November 10, 1988
proposal. They were in agreement with the proposal.
Jim Nuse, Director of Public Works, asked that the Council consider
tabling items 12D., 12E., and 12F. until the City of Austin takes action
on the necessary contracts for the Regional Sewer Project. Nuse gave an
explanation of what had transpired of late. He said he was hopeful that
the items would be brought back for consideration in less than one months
time.
3F. Council Comments.
Councilman Culpepper asked how the I 8 I project was progressing.
Nuse explained that all was going very well.
Councilman Culpepper asked staff to look into the possibility of a 3
way stop at Lake Creek and Round Rock West Drive now that the new bridge
has been completed.

answer any questions the Council might have.
Steve Sheets asked who would issue permits to an establishement if it

matter what county, the Williamson County Health Department would make the
necessary inspections.

10B. Consider public testimony concerning the plan to annex the
Manhattan's/IH35 Tract (6.243 acres). Joe Vining made the staff

of the property. Public hearings will be advertised prior to any action
on original zoning.
Nelson Ringmaker, 6 Meandering Way, stated that he opposed the
annexation of Oak Bluff Estates in order to annex Franklin 582 Tract. He
said he felt this was "shot gun annexation planning." He urged the
Council to consider a workable alternative such as the County Road 122
route.
Jim Sadlo, also a resident of Oak Bluff, stated his agreement in that
he does not want to see Oak B1uff.Estates annexed in order to annex
Franklin 582 Tract. He also suggested the Council strongly consider the
County Road 122 route.

was in favor of the annexation of the Franklin 582 Tract. He also said

west of Deepwood Drive and South of Highway 6.20. The City has for
218
NOVEMBER 22» 1988
several years, been searching for a maintenance and materials yard
site.
The land in question has been appraised at $14,000 per acre. We
feel the future expansion as well as a west Fire Station site and
possible City pool site, this land is ideal. We have $901,000 in site
acquisition funds and would look to issue Certificates of Obligation to
the landowner for the balance of $190,000. Staff has met with bond
counsel and the City financial advisor who feels this is the least
costly option. The next step would be to publish a notice of intent to
sell C.O.'s and follow the statutory.
Mayor Robinson asked how the bond rating companies feel about this
use of C.O.'s. Huey said they felt this would be a good use of the
C.O.'s. Council told staff to proceed with the necessary notices to
proceed.

request is to provide water service to the proposed Ozarka Facility. Thi
will be located at the former Ventana Glass Building. This building is i
Austin'*s ETJ, Austin's proposed City limits, and at the end of a long dea
end Round Rock: water line. Although they would be a valuable customer fro
both a C.R.F. and a rate basis, staff recommended against extending this lin
any further to the south for the reason that 1) Round Rock has no contra
over development or building permits in the area. It would be difficult t
track: users on the line the further it is e=xtended; 2) the reliability of
long, dead end service is less than on a looped system; and 3) this line wa

alternatives. Council asked that a consensus be formed in the very near
future.
'-'E. Consider an update concerning the Unsafe Building Code. Jim Nuse
made the staff presentation. In order to comply with State statutes
regarding Unsafe Buildings, the Round Rock: Code must be modified to provide
for public hearings prior to the demolition of unsafe buildings. Currently
there are seven buildings that need to be demolished. Staff cannot do this
until the public hearing process has been incorporated into the Round Rock
Code. This item will be brought back for Council action.

ill. Consider an ordinance amending the Zoning and Subdivision
Ordinances to require an Abstractor's Certificate for Flat, Zoning, PUD._
Vacation and Site Plan applications prior to recording Final Flats. (First
Reading) The proposed amendments to the Subdivision and the Zoning
Ordinances will require the applications listed below to be accompanied by an
Abstractors Certificate which shall state the names and addresses of any and
all current owners and current lienholders of the subject property. This
certificate shall be dated no sooner than 10 days prior to submission of the
application or request to record. The applications and actions which will
require this certificate are as follows: 1) Concept Flans; :Z) Final Flats;
:_1) Site Plans; 4) Plat Vacation Documents; b) Request to Record Final Plats;
h) Rezoning Application; and 7) PUD Applications. The need to verify the
ownership of property which is the subject of a Subdivision or Zoning
application has become a major concern, due to often rapidly changing
ownership in the present economy. The requirement for an Abstractors
Certificate provides the most current ownership informaiton. It also
provides the necessary list of lienholders who hold an interest in the
property. This assures the City that the applicant, in fact, has the
authority to make the application. Mayor Robinson read the caption of the
ordinance as follows:

Transportation plans to convert the existing frontage roads south of McNeil
Road to one way streets in January, 1989. The new sections of frontage

Chisholm Valley. Vining explained there would still be an off ramp but it
would be further north than the current ramp. There will be no physical
changes until January. Mayor Robinson read the caption of the ordinance:
