Richard Ratliff, Director of Compliance and Inspection, with the
Texas Department of Health and Bureau of Radiation Control was
present to address concerns on the compliance history of TN
Technologies. The Bureau regulates all users of radio active
material and x-rays in the State of Texas. TN Technologies has
been a licensee of the Bureau in Austin for 25 years. In general
they have have a good compliance, but have had some violations.
The Bureau tries to inspect often and does physical inspections
along with environmental monitoring. The TN Techonologies
facility in Round Rock is designed well and is in compliance with
the regulations. Sources of radio active material are encased in
August 23, 1990
stainless steel Capsules which has a good history of safety
maintaining the material. Ratliff added that the Bureau does not
hesitate in any way to prosecute any violators that do not comply
with the regulations.
COUnci1m6n St'luka asked Ratliff to explain how major or
minor TNs violations were. Ratliff complied.
Mayor Pro -tem Culpepper asked if a tornado was to hit Round
Rock would tl-,ie citizens be in any danger. Ratliff said a tornado
would probably not move most of the devices. The sources are
stored in ten foot deep concrete vaults. Any other material are
kept in cefr'ient drums. Mayor Pro -tem Culpepper asked if TN
Technologies) have been taken to the Attorney General for
prosecution. Ratliff said no.
Mayor Robinson asked Ratliff is he felt his people were
doing their job. He answered that before they had 25 people to
do the whole state but now they have 150 people and can do more
physical monitoring. He added that monitoring is done
continuously on the property by their equipment. Even though
they are not physically there the monitor would inform them of
any type of violation.
Councilwoman Oatman asked if the citizens of Round Rock are
safe. Ratliff answered yes.
Kevin Henderson, President of the Morning Kiwanas, addressed
the tourism funds. The City had advanced the sum of $1,000 for

The Round Rock City Council met in a Special Called Work Session
and Executive Session on Monday, September 17, 1990 at 5:30 p.m.
in the Council Chamber, 221 E. Main Street.
ROLL CALL: Those members present were Mayor Mike Robinson-,
Mayor Pro -tem Charles Culpepper, Councilwoman Tish Oatman,
Councilman Earl Palmer, and Councilman Jimmy Joseph. Councilman
Robert Stluka arrived during item 4.A. and Councilman Pete Correa
was absent. Also present were City Manager Bob Bennett,
Assistant City Manager/City Secretary Joanne Land, and City
Attorney Steve Sheets.
With unanimous approval of the Councilmembers present the
order of the agenda was dispensed with.
WORK SESSION:
4.A. Consider discussion concerning the 2Topqsed 1990-91
LLldqe-L for the City of Round Rock.- Bob Bennett described points
that would : be discussed during -the meeting. Comments and
questions expressed by Council were addressed by the individual
department heads. An explaination and/or Justification was
offered for their particular budget.
Jim muse addressed the Telemetry Services and the
justification of -the system. He pointed out how and where the
items that would be used for the system. Regarding -the Pre-
treatment program contract, Nuse informed Council he was advised
to follow the procedure recommended. This would be the most
feasible way of doing it. The equipment being used can also be
utilized in any other field or other parts of the Pre-treatment
program.
David Kautz addressed the funds budgeted for uniforms for
all the departments. The amount budgeted averages about $5.00
per week per employee to keep them uniformed with pants and
: 4- h erorl --tracted for this. This is an average
shirts Y e I
cost for 173 uniformed employees. Other possabilities for
uniforms were investigated but this is the most cost effective
way. Kautz explained the amount spent for telephone service, he
added the City is still paying for the system. Regarding the
supplies of all the departments. Staff is considering two
September 17, 1990
issues that would be a cost saving. One is to attempt to bid all
the supplies from one supplier, but a program for this would need
to be developed. The second issue is to add a purchasing office
person on staff that would purchase all goods. Council offered
suggestions on cost savings ideas for the purchase of supplies.
Bob Bennett addressed the suggestion of a 5% cut off every
department. This was determined to be difficult to achieve
unless employees were laid off and capital purchases be avoided.
Regarding the purchasing agent, Bennett said before this can be
accomplished the finance department needs to be fully staffed to
function properly. At the present time there is a great need for
an additional accounts payable clerk and an Assistant Finance
D i rector.
Wes Wolff explained the need for the travel and training in
the Police Department. Council questioned the cuts that were
made and how those would effect the department. Wolff explained
what was cut and how vital it was. Council expressed their
concern on the bullet proof vests being cut from the budget.
Discussion followed on who had vests and what condition they were
in. It was the consensus of the Councilmembers present that the
City purchase a new bullet proof vest for each officer. This
would be an addition to the budget in the amount of $20,125 for
35 vests. Council also requested that it be mandatory that all
the officers were their vests.
Sharon Prete addressed portions of her budget that Council
expressed concern on. Prete offered an explaination for the
justification of additional employees. She said the levels of
service cannot be accomplished without the additional manpower.
The quest ican 'of contracting out some of the services was brought
up along with other alternatives. Prete said she would research
this idea and bring some figures back to Council. Council
said the Parks Department is always called to help with functions
other than 'City related. Possibly those people should start
being charged for these services. Regarding the question on the
budget line for electricty, Prete said this pertains to the
lights at the ballfields and street lighting in the parks.

September 17, 1990
Prete added the different organizations are charged for
electrical use.
Concerning -the budget line item of travel and training for
the legal department. Sheets addressed this item explaining the
funds are to cover -three training sessions. Two Texas City
Attorney Association Institutes and one Municipal Prosecuters
institute. lie added these sessions are highly specialized for
City Attorneys and when he attends these he does not charge -the
City for his time only asks that his registration is paid for.
Councilwoman Oatman stated she would like to have this
budget item removed.
Kautz clarified the budget line for the Volunteer Rural
Equipment. He said this pertained to the Volunteer Fire
Department insurance premiums on their liability and equipment
insurance and this is provided by contract.
Nuse addressed the over -time in Public Works explaining this
is for after hours emergencies for the waterline maintenance
group. Muse added that staff is trying to bring the salaries
more in line and staff will proceed to upgrade this. Regarding
-the heater and air conditioner for Public Works breakroom. The
ceiling needs to be lowered in order to accomplished this.
Joanne Land addressed the Volunteer Center and the
suggestion of the City running its own center. Land offered the
procedure that needed to be done to accomplish this. The cost
would be about the same and we would have better control of the
person running the center. Staff has spoken to the current
Volunteer coordinator and she has no objections to this
arrangement.
Staff continued with clarifications or answers to questions
on bingo revenues, taxi franchise, fuel costs, grant monies, and
wiiether is was feasible to do in-house vehicle repairs.
Kautz provided the tax rate history since 1983 and what has
occurred since 'that time regarding the taxes for,the City, County
and School District.
Kautz
went over
the different plans staff has

David Kautz approached Council and spoke on the current
operating budget. Discussion was directed to the purchase of the
police dogs and what it would take to own them. The point of
volunteers offering to purchase something for the City using a
fund raising process needs to be approved so the City is not left
dealing with the bill. Discussion evolved around the
expenditures for the maintenance of the dogs and medical care
expense was discussed.
Kautz addressed the fuel and postage adjustments and
forthcoming rate increase for this. The discussion led into the
Utility Fund and the proposed plans.
Bob Bennett explained the reason for having Stillhouse
Hollow reserve. He added we have cut the reserve in half and
will have rights for water acquisition.
Discussion turned to amendments to fees from various
departments. From the finance department the bad check fee was
discussed and a consensus was received to change the returned
check fee to $15-00. Sharon discussed the fee adjustments for
the recreational centers, adding the justification for those
adjustments.. Prete explained -the figures she attained for
contractural services versus in-house service.

Session on Thursday, September 13, 1990 at 6:00 p.m. in the City

ROLL CALL: Those members present were Mayor Pro -tern
Charles Culpepper, Councilman Robert Stluka, Councilwoman Tish
Oatman, Councilman Pete Correa, Councilman Earl Palmer, and
Councilman Jimmy Joseph. Mayor Mike Robinson was absent. Also
present were City Manager Bob Bennett, Assistant City
Manager/City Secretary Joanne land and City Attorney Steve
Sheets.
WORK SESSION:
3A. Consider discussion concerning the pro os�-,c 1990-1991
jjg_og�t. Bob Bennett made the staff presentation. He said the
proposed budget is for the next operating year. Bennett referred
to the information on -the dial regarding comments/questions from
Council on the proposed budget. He asked that Council schedule a
Special Called Work Session to go over the budget in a slower
pace so any questions they may have can be answered thoroughly.
Bennett then turned the presentation over to David Kautz.
Kautz gave a broad overview of the budget. The budget includes
a spending plan for the General Fund, Water/Wastewater Utility
Fund and Debt Service Interest and Sinking Fund (General
Obligation Debt). Expenditures are proposed to increase 4.9%.
This year -the City must make important decisions with regard -to
the direction of the Water/Wastewater Utility Fund. 'The past
three years have seer) operating losses in the fund meaning that
rates are not sufficient to cover operating and debt payments.
These losses have been subsidized with cash balances. Kautz
continued that in 1988 the City retained a rate consultant to
develop retail and wholesale rates which are fair and cost
based. The consultant also provided an implementation plan for
the retail rates. Last year, the consultant suggested
implementation of an 18% rate increase to make the Utility Fund
solvent. The City implemented only a 9% increase and continued
to subsidize the rate with cash on hand. A 9 112% combined water
NW47
September 13, 1990
and wastewater rate increase has been proposed in the operating
budget this year. This increase would enable the Utility to get
Ifin the black". The Utility still maintains a cash balance of
approximately $4,000,000 intended for major capital improvements.
If this balance is used to continue subsidizing the rates, needed
future capital improvements will necessarily have to be financed
through debt issuance and rates will still need -to be made
commensurate with costs. Depleting cash reserves will be
scrutinized by bond rating agencies and, in the absence of a plan
'to become solvent, will likely adversely affect the City's bond
rating. Additionally, the City must consider future water
reserve requirements. The proposed budget cuts annual funding
for reserve water, from $469,000 to $269,000. Staff feels that
reserves are still adequate at this rate but scenarios are still
being developed and should be refined through -this budget
process. The property tax rate, which provides some funding for
the General Fund and the Debt Service Interest & Sinking Fund is
proposed at 55.911 cents per $100 valuation - Effective Rate.
The Effective Rate is calculated by the Tax Assessor/Collector
under a formula set by law and essentially provides the same
amount of tax revenue as -the City received in the prior year.
With regard to spending highlights the budget proposes:
4% salary increase for all personnel $200,000
4 full time employees in Parks & Recreation 51,208
(staggered hiring)
5 seasonal employees in Parks & Recreation 30,578
Additional Economic Development Funding to
the Chamber of Commerce 50,000
Water/Wastewater Utility increased transfer
to General Fund. 100,000
General fund capital equipment (total requested) 294,469
Water/Wastewater Utility fund Capital Equipment 373,660
(total requested)
At this point adjustment have not been made for increases in
postage (rates scheduled to increase 20% in February) and fuel
(costs are currently up 30%). If these and related cost
increases prevail over a significant period -time budget
adjustment may need to be considered. The proposed figures for
M
September 13, 1990
the 1990-91 Budget are:
General Fund Total Revenue $8,036,275.00
General Fund Total Expenditures (8,016,144.00)
I&S Debt Service Total Revenue $4,976,072.00
I&S Debt Service Total Expenditures (5,113,163.00)

PRESENTATION:
IIA. Consider a presentation concerning proposed amendments
_—
to the Electri-cal Ordinance.. Jim Nuse made the staff
presentation. The City of Round Rock currently operates under
the 1987 National Electric Code. The National Electric code has
been updated for 1990. The Electrical Review Board will meet to
complete the final review of this code. The major revisions to
the 1990 National Electric Code as proposed by the Electrical
Board concerns the deletion of article 300-4 which concerns
spacing requirements of certain wiring within the residence. At
the next meeting of the City Council the revised 1990 National
Electric Code will be presented along with it's inclusion in the
Round Rock Electrical Code. Nuse added Larry Myers, Chairman, of
the Round Rock Electrical Board was present -to answer questions
Council may have.
1.1g® Consider a e:Tesenti��t I on concernljnR ampnq-e�q
amendments to the Animal Control- Ordinance. Jim Nuse made the
staff presentation. The Public Works Department is proposing the
amendment of the Animal Control Ordinance to reflect altering the
time in which the City must impound a dog. Currently, a dog must
be kept for seven day prior to euthanasia. The proposal would
allow -the animal to be destroyed after 72 hours if the dog is not
properly licensed and displaying such license, if' a properly
licensed animal is picked up, it will remain impounded a minimum
of seven days and
its owner
will be
contacted
if
possible.
The
reason for this
immediate
change is
the lack
of
space in
our
September 13, 1990
facility. The facility can only hold 19 animals according to
the Health Department criteria. It is often overcrowded and a
change is necessary for relief. Nuse informed Council of
upcoming proposals for the next year. Nuse gave figures of the
Animal Control Activity from October 1989 up to September 13,
1990.
Councilwoman Catman expressed her concern regarding house
pets that get out without -their license on them and the owner is
out of town. Councilwoman Oatman asked that staff come up with a
solution so these animals can be protected.

presentation. Revenue projections for the current operating
budget are slightly ahead of estimates. These revenues combined
with current year cost savings are proposed to be used for a 4
wheel drive mower tractor, deletion of the lease/purchase program
Proceeds, and early restocking of City Shop parts inventory. Use
of funds in this manner will save future year interest costs,
lock -in parts at lower prices and avoid the necessity of finding
funding in next year's budget. Kautz went over the figures of
the revised budget of the General Fund.

Jim Nuse made the staff presentation. Staff recommends that the
City engage Geotechnical Services to prepare a report to the
Water Commission regarding our northern industrial area. Nuse
pointed out, on a map, the areas that would be affected. This
report would be the main portion of the Water Pollution Abatement
Plan which is required prior to construction. Staff feels that
having this plan in place would greatly facilitate the timing of
approval of the Water Pollution Abatement Plan when an industry
decides on a Particular tract. Three proposal for this service
were received. Staff recommends that Southwestern Labs prepare
the report. The cost would be $5,290.00 which will be funded out
of the Planning Department budget and the Engineering side of
Public Works budget.

PUBLIC HEARINGS:
12A. Consider pllb�1i_q testimony concerning -the 1990-1991
L:)Egp2,s�d P.uLd for th C i of Round Rock. David Kautz made the
staff presentation. The budget includes a spending plan for the
General Fund, Water/Wastewater Utility Fund and Debt Service
Interest and Sinking Fund (General Obligation Debt). A summary
of the proposed 1990-91 Budget is:
General Fund Total Revenue $8,036,275.00
General Fund Total Expenditures (8,016,144.00)
I&S Debt Service Total Revenue $4,976,072.00
I&S Debt Service Total Expenditures (5,113,163.00)
Water/Wastewater
Utility Fund Total Revenue $8,138,841.00
Utility Fund Total Expenditures (8,346,957.00)
Kautz outlined the budget adding with regard to spending
highlights the major components contained in the budget are:
* 4% cost of living increase for fall personnel
* 4 full -time employees in Parks & Recreation (staggered hiring)
* 5 seasonal employees in Parks & Recreation
* Additional Economic Development Funding
* Water/Wastewater Utility increased transfer to General fund
* Increase funding for library books and materials
* General fund capital equipment (total requested)
* Increased funding for street lighting
* Water/Wastewater Utility fund Capital Equipment (total requested)
An increase will also be seen in postage and fuel of which
adjustments have not been made. Overall the proposed budget is
4.9% above last years revised budget. The property tax rate,
which provides some funding for -the General Fund and the Debt
Service Interest & Sinking Fund is proposed at 55.911 cents per
$100 valuation the Effective Rate. The Effective Rate is
calculated by the Tax Assessor/Collector under a formula set by
law and essentially provides the same amount of tax revenue as
the City received in the prior, year. Kautz added this is riot a
tax rate increase. He showed a five year trend in the City's tax
rate, taxable value, and tax levy.
The Water/Wastewater Utility Fund is the other main funding
September 13, 1990
source. The past three years have seen operating losses in the
fund, which means that rates are not sufficient to cover
operating and debt payments. These losses have been subsidized
with cash balances. In 1988 the City retained a rate consultant
to develop retail and wholesale rates which are fair and cost
based. The consultant also provided an implementation plan for
the retail rates. Last year, the consultant suggested
implementation of an 18% rate increase to make the Utility Fund
solvent. The City implemented only 9% increase and continued to
subsidize the rate with cash on hand. A 9 1/2% combined water
and wastewater rate increase has been proposed in 'the operating
budget this year. This increase would enable the Utility to get
"in the black". The Utility still maintains a cash balance of
approximately $4,000,000 intended for major capital improvements.
If this balance is used to continue subsidizing the rates, needed
future Capital improvements will necessarily have to be financed
through debt issuance and rates will still need to be made
commensurate with costs. Kautz added the City has an ordinance
on the books which would freeze rates for rate payers 65 and
older. Not only will the rates be frozen but the rates are rolled
back to a 1986 level. Senior citizens are immune to the types of
rate increases proposed.
in conclusion Kautz pointed out a summary of requests that were
received from outside agencies for Councils consideration. Those
are:
CARTS Transportation Program
Williamson County Day Care
Williamson County Crisis Center
Williamson County Health Unit
Williamson County Mental Health
Senior Citizen Nutrition Program
Volunteer Center
The summary showed what is being funded in the proposed budget
and what has been requested by the agencies.
Mayor Pro -tem Culpepper opened the public hearing,
Pat Patterson of the Volunteer Center represented the
RE
I
September 13, 1990
request for funds from -the City. Patterson thanked Council for
their previous support and outlined the various areas where
volunteers have given their time to the City. She stated that
she hoped the City will continue their support for the Volunteer
Center.
Robert Howard, Executive Director, Williamson/Burnet County
Opportunities represented the requests made to Council. Howard
touched on the various programs briefly explaining the purposes
of the programs. He informed Council that Williamson County is
offering their support and named the different cities that will
also help.
Billie Ragsdale spoke on the Senior Citizens Nutrition
Program. She said her main concern is the lack of parking at the
Center during the lunch hour. The Senior Citizen population has
grown tremendously and is still growing. Enlargement of the
Center or another larger Center is greatly needed.
Posey McClung spoke on the Senior Citizens Nutrition Program
along with the different activities that are held in the Center.
She said signage to direct the citizens to the Center would also
be very helpful.
Olive Forbes spoke on the need of additional funds to
improve the reading programs for the youth.
Bob Tackle spoke on the reduced or eliminated funds for
preventive maintenance. Maintenance for streets, buildings, and
equipment need -to be done on a yearly basis or we will end up
paying for or buying something alert sooner.

presentation. This ordinance is an amendment to the current
operating budget and not the proposed operating budget. Revenue
projections and collections have been slightly ahead of estimates
particularly in the area of sales tax collection. The City has
sufficient funds for the following items:
* 4 wheel drive mower tractor for Public Works $35,000
* deletion of the lease/purchase program proceeds $IZ8,4bl
* early restocking of the City Shop parts inventory $8,000
These items will save future year interst costs, lock -in parts at
lower prices and avoid the necessity of finding funding in the
next year's budget. If -this is approved the general fund would
still end the year with a positive balance of $51,000 of which
will be brought forward into the next year. Staff added any

Vining made the staff presentation. Staff is in the process of

proposes the following changes:
McNeil Road eastbound and westbound from the city limits to a
point 400 feet west of Oakridge Drive should be 45 mph; and
McNeil Road eastbound and westbound from a point 400 feet west
of Oakridge Drive to the east end of the bridge across Lake Creek
should be 40 mph. The portion of McNeil Road between the Lake
Creek bridge and Mays would become the statutory 30 mph.

speed limit. Staff can review the study with Engineering staff

charter requires an annual audit of the financial records to be
performed by an independent certified public accountant. Staff
recommends that Pena Swayze & Co. be retained for this purpose.
The cost will be approximately $31,000 and is included in the
proposed operating budget. If selected, this will be the sixth
year they have performed the audit. The fee for this audit has
remained the same for the past four (4) years. Staffs feel that,
due to the current conversion of Computer systems and records, it
is extremely important, that Pena Swayze & Co. perform this audit.
Their familiarity with the old computer system eliminates the
need to spend significant money and time learning the system. As
the City phases out the old system this issue will become less
significant in future years.

Department. Vining turned the Visual presentation over to Keith
Tanner adding this is what will be shown to civic groups and
industries in an effort to convince our citizens to help plant
the trees.
Councilman Stluka complimented Tanner in the professional way
he put the presentation together adding this presentation would
"do the trick" for promoting tourism.
Mayor Robinson stated this project has "highten the
awareness" of the citizens because, he received a call from Sysco
informing him they wanted to adopt McNeil Road. This is a way -to

_,_ pr!t _p 1990,-1
9LjqgeDavid Kautz made the staff presentation. The 1990-91
proposed Operating Budget was presented to Council for final
September 27, 1990
approval. Kautz briefly summarized portions of the proposed
budget. Regarding the Effective Tax Rate the budget proposes to
reduce the -tax rate to 54.911 cents per $100 valuation. Revenue
from sales taxes is estimated -to increase 8/a. This figure is
believed to be realistic but the continuation of the "Shop Round
Rock" program should be emphasized. For the Water and Wastewater
Rates staff developed a two year rate plan, 4 112% increase for
the proposed budget and approximately 5% increase for next year.
Kautz pointed out spending highlights as being:
* 4% salary increase for all personnel
* 4 full time employees in Parks & Recreation (staggered hiring)
* 5 seasonal employees in Parks & Recreation
* Additional Economic Development Funding
* Water/Wastewater Utility increased transfer to General Fund
* General Fund capital equipment (total requested)
* Water/Wastewater Utility Fund Capital equipment (-total requested)
* I finance clerk and I Assistant Finance Director at mid year
* Adjustments for increased fuel and postage costs
* 35 bullet-proof vests for the Police Department
* Funding for social service agencies at 'level requested.
Mayor Pro -tem Culpepper asked that staff "get together",
immediately after this budget is in place, with the social service
agencies to discussion their plans for next years budget so we
would know what to expect. The social services agencies also
need to start talking to other communities for funds.
Councilwoman Oatman echoed Mayor Pro -tem Culpepper's
comment's adding we need to "start the process earlier".
Councilman Palmer stated that social service are needed badly
throughout the whole community and we must support them.
Mayor Robinson stated -that Council needs to get a letter to
-the Round Rock Chamber of Commerce regarding the "Shop Round
Rock" campaign, which has been clroppecl» This campaign and
anything else that can be done will allow the City 'to continue
funding the Chamber. At the present time $125,000 has been
budgeted -to the Chamber, of Commerce.
Councilwoman Oatman added that when -the "Shop Round Rock"
F-M-HrAhl
Umv
MAM
September 27, 1990
campaign is in full force you can see the increase in spending.
Bob Bennett informed Council that in response to a number of
concerns regarding the Parks Department budget he asked Sharon
Prete to briefly offer a recap of her department. Also to bring
Council up to date on information gathered concerning "going out
to bid" for various contracts of labor.
Prete gave a brief overview of her department. She also
highlighted the duties of each member of her department. Prete
explained that a main goal of the Parks Department was the
maintenance of the system. At the present time the department
has one employee for each 39 acres of park land. The
department has not had any additional employees in the last five
years and many levels of service has decreased because of this.
Mayor Pro -tem Culpepper said he would like to see a reduction
of cleaning days at the recreation centers, and possibly it could
be limited to before and after they are rented out.
Mayor Robinson stated that people who rent the facilities
from the City will expect them to be in quality shape.
3C. Consider discussion concerninci the "Round Rock
Hugh Bender made the staff presentation and gave an
update on the Round Rock recycling program. Staff has been
meeting with the Disabled Recyclers of Texas to draft a recycling
program outline and timetable. The first phase of the program
involves a fund raising effort for a bare- bones start up.
Within 30 to 45 days after the completion of the fund raising
effort, the recycling center on Deepwood would be operational.
The pilot curb side program would begin soon after. During the
fund raising effort, staff in conjunction with the Disabled
Recyclers of Texas will develop a detailed recycling program and
present this to Council. Bender turned the Presentation over to
Greg Hopkins of the Disabled Recyclers of Texas.
Hopkins said the fund raiser will provide the necessary
equipment to establish a recycling center at the proposed site.
Equipment purchased through this fund raising effort will also
enable the City and the Disabled Recyclers of Texas to establish
a Pilot curb -side recycling program and a small advertising

September 27, 1990
budget. Hopkins went over the equipment that would be needed
added that the center will be manned four hours a day for drop-
offs. The program will begin with ten men then additions will be
added as needed. This budget would not include the recycling of
plastics at this time.
Mayor Robinson asked how much of the City would be involved
in curb side recycling. Hopkins answered at first 25%.
Councilman Palmer asked how long it would take before the
whole City would be involved. Hopkins said about 1-1 1/2 years.
Mayor Robinson suggested that the City "draw from the
budget" rather than having a fund raiser for the $2500 needed.
Councilwoman Oatman added that the citizens are ready for
this program and we need to "get along" with this program.
Councilman Joseph suggested that after the program is in
place, presentations could be made to the citizens, schools, and
organizations showing what recycled products look like.
aQ0 yity Manager's Report: Bob Bennett referred to a
letter from the Corps of Engineers. He added one of Council
goals to be implemented this year is to improve city employee
recognition. With this in mind the City will be having its first
Spirit Day for the City employees. This idea came to staff from
a similar session they attended at Westinghouse. The Spirit lunch
of Round Rock will be Tuesday, October 9th at Old Settlers Park
at Palm Valley. The theme of the lunch will be a Hawaiian Luau
A State of the City report will be given along with the goals for
next year, inform the employees of what the revenues and
expenditures look like. This will allow the employees to be more
involved with what is going ;can in the City. Bennett invited
Council to meet with all the employees and have lunch.
YE= CouncIl, Comments= Council congratulated Councilman
Earl Palmer and his wife Mary Ann on their 10th anniversary.

situation. He said we "can't afford" to pay for water we aren't

amend the City of Round Rock Zoning Ordinance to create a
District OS (Open Space) zoning classification in order, to
establish and preserve land for private and public uses which
consist primarily of open space and are generally compatible with
residential neighborhoods. It will also permit certain
customarily or necessarily incidental retail and set -vice
activities as secondary uses, The ordinance also designates -two
OS (Open Space ) zoning districts on the Official Zoning Map.

The monthly minimum remains as is.
Mayor Robinson added if the Brazos River Authority accepts

in our favor then there will be no increase next year.
Councilwoman Oatman voiced her opposition to the increase in
water rates.
Mayor Pro -tem Culpepper stated he is not in favor of an
increase in rates nor is anyone else on the Council but, its a

O.r—d-i-n.ance. .(,_First Read
Jim Nuse made the staff presentation. Currently, a cloa must
be kept for seven days prior to euthanasia. The proposal would
allow -the animal to be destroyed after 72 hours if the dog is not
propertly licensed and displaying such license. If a properly
licensed animal is picked up, it will remain impounded a minimum
of seven days and its owner will be contacted if possible. The
reason for this immediate change is the lack of space in the
facility. The facility can only hold 19 animals according to the
Health Department criteria. It is often overcrowded and this
change is necessary for relief. In a little less than a year over,
1000 dogs were impounded with only 12 having tags. Of those dogs
675 were destroyed 275 were claimed, and 5% were adopted.
Councilwoman Oatman asked that the citizens be informed
through the media of the new period for holding dogs.
Mayor Pro -tem Culpepper asked that a Surcharge on fees go
directly to the Williamson County Humane Society to support their
new facility once its built.

Mayor Robinson opened the public hearing.
Pedro Camacho approached Council and said he was there to
speak for Andrea Camacho because she is not able to be here. She
is recouperating From a stroke which has cost her a fortune.
Camacho continued that Andrea Camacho is asking that Council not
demolish the house at 109 W. Austin Street. "The house can be
repaired to be livable. She can borrow money to repair the house
but cannot borrow money to have it demolished, also, she will not
allow or accept a lien against her property".
Mr. Camacho added she wants to restore this house because it
is part of Round Rock history and could be part of Round Rock
Frontier Days that is celebrated each year. She is asking
Council to save the house from destruction and hopes Council
votes in her favor.
Mayor Pro -Tem Culpepper asked Mr. Camacho if Council delays
ti -ie demolition how soon could she get started on it. Mr. Carnacho
answered right now she is recouperating and the weather is bad
92
October 11, 1990
but she had started cleaning the burned out section a while back.
Mr. Camacho added she has not done anything on it since January
when she had the stroke, but she intended to repair the house.
The older,- part of the house is burned but not the "regional"
section, it's still there.
Mayor Pro -Tem Culpepper asked Mr. Camacho when he felt she
would be ready to start doing something. Mr. Camacho said as
soon as she can get somebody to bid on it, because it's going to
take some time due to it being an old house and it will cost
Councilman Palmer asked if a permit is required to
reconstruct something like this and if she had applied for this
permit. Mr. Camacho said she was Just cleaning up the burned
area and she wasn't trying to work on it yet. Councilman Palmer
asked if she was given a month or so she would be able to apply
for her permit and get started.
Mr. Camacho said he really did not know for sure and does
not know what will happen.
Councilman Palmer asked Mr. Camacho if this demolition was
delayed once before. Mr. Camacho said yes but he thought the
delay would be longer than a month or so between Phase 2 and
Phase 3, adding the houses that were in Phase 2 are still
standing.
Councilman Palmer once again asked if Mr. Camacho had any
idea of when she can get started. Mr. Camacho answered "more or
less a while" she needs -to see what happens.
Councilwoman Oatman asked if he was speaking of -three
months, six months, or a year and if he had any ideas. Mr.
Camacho said a person in her shape it could take a while. Her -
intent, was to clean up the lot, then start demolishing the back
section which is the older part and keeping in tact the original
house. After all that was done then she would really start
working on the house.
Mayor Robinson asked Mr. Camacho if he was speaking for
Ms. Camacho then was he also up) there to commit to the Council
RAWS
DMIAUM
October 11, 1990
that he would handle this and he will see that a permit is taken
out and that he will see that the restoration is started if
Council delays the demolition.
Mr. Camacho answered "not really", because he did not know
for sure when it would get started, but the clean up can get
started sooner.
Mayor Robinson stated his concern is that he was at the fire
and has driven by the house several time and personally did not
think the house is repairable and it is a health hazard right now
but if he is willing to commit they could continue the hearing.
Mayor Robinson informed Mr. Camacho if the hearing is continued
which means he has to take action, and Council understands the
health situation of the owner, but he must understand it is the
Councils job of public safety. If the hearing is continued and
he takes no action then he leaves the Council no alternative but
to go ahead and have it demolished since the house has remained
in its present condition almost a year. Mayor Robinson informed
Mr. Camacho that if he was before Council speaking for someone
else then he will be held responsible to see that something
happens and it has to be something more than cleaning up because
the clean up will not take care of the safety Problem only the
health problem.
Mayor Pro -Tem Culpepper asked that the second reading be
delayed to November 20, 1990 to see if anything is being done.
Mayor Robinson asked Mr. Camacho to contact Marion Hasting
to see what requirements are needed for the restoration to bring
the structure into compliance with the Code.
Mr. Camacho asked Council for more time and added the time
given was not enough time.
There being no additional public testimony the public
hearing was closed.

CITY MANAGERS REPORT:
Bob Bennett informed Council the Corp of Engineers had
planned to be at the meeting to speak about the Lake Creek
prject. Due to problems with the federal budget they had to
cancel and will attend the next Council Meeting.
Bennett also informed Council that the Corridor Drive
extension, which Council had previously set aside funds, has had
some timing problems. The property owner has informed the City
that he would donate the right-of-way if the city would build
nalf the road and he will build his half when it's time to
develop his property. The proposed road is for the safety of the
people from Farmers Insurance and convenience of the subdivision.
Bennett asked for direction from Council concerning the securance
of the right-of-way and building half the road.
Council requested that this item be placed on the next
agenda for action.
Bennett thanked Council for attending the first Spirit Lunch
for the employees. He said he has received many letters of
thanks from employees and this lunch -turned out to be a great
success.
Bennett informed Council that Phil Brewer has accepted the
position of President and Economic Development Coordinator for
the Round Rock Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber will have a
Special called meeting to formalize the acceptance from Phil
1
October 11, 1990

Jim Muse made the staff presentation. He informed Council
representatives of the Corps of Engineers, Gene Rice and Jerry
McCrory, were present to inform Council at what stage they are in
their feasibility of the Lake Creek Channel project. Nuse added
their presentation will also outline the options available as
well as the next steps to be taken if the City is interested in
proceeding further.
Gene Rice approached Council and referred to the map
provided. He said the map shows the recommended plan presented a
year ago. It also shows where it is and where we need to go
forward on this. Rice informed Council that they received a
request from the City on November 2, 1987 to determine the
feasibility of providing flood control on Lake Creek and Onion
Branch. The authority they are working under is the 1954 Brazos
Basin resolution and the resolution for the study of the Little
River Watershed. Rice touched on soil conservation studies,
problem areas they found, alternatives they considered,
evaluation of the plan, what the recommended plan is, and what
future decision is needed. Rice said the recommended plan of the
Federal Government, with the highest benefit cost ratio, is the
50 foot bottomless channel. He added there are two parts to the
plan, Reach I with a non-structural plan and Reach 2 with a
October 23, 1990
structural plan. Either one or both make it a viable pian, both
parts are feasible and can stand alone. Rice went over the cost
figures for each part of the plan and what the Citys portion
would be, including annual cost for operation and maintenance.
The total cost of the project is under two and a half million
with the Citys share being over one million. Rice pointed out
that the City can apply for a grant to help with the funding of
the project. The deadline for applying of the grant is November
9th. If the City chooses to go forward the next steps are a
letter of intent from the City is needed giving the go ahead,
then a Federal Cost Sharing Agreement is negotiated for the
actual cost, and a detailed project report would need to be
completed by the Corp. This would take about six months to
complete.
Sheets asked if the Edwards Acquifer Rules will be taken
into account since Reach 2 is over the recharge zone of the
Edwards Acquifer. McCrory said they would follow any rules
pertaining to the Edwards Acquifer.
Rice concluded that the purpose of the presentation was to
see whether the city was interested or not in this project.

Eatey for citiz )1.1ver Qt qgg 2f 65. David Kautz made the
staff presentation. Kautz briefly summarized the status ofrates
for citizens over the age of 65 years. There are 508 accounts
receiving the discount. The discount is approximately 32% for an
average account and Kautz showed how this is derived. A i I andom
survey of other cities and utilities indicated that this type of
discount is not a common practice. The number of accounts in
this rate class are increasing at an escalating rate. Kautz
offered suggestions for a change in handling rates for citizens
over 65 years old. Those are: 1) Providing I to 3 thousand
gallons in the minimum and increasing the minimum rate
commensurately. 2) Establishing the average water and sewer
usage per month and applying the current over 65 rate to any
actual usage therein. Any usage above the average woul,d be
k4m,
October 23, 1990
billed at the current city-wide rate. 3) Applying a flat
percentage discount to this rate class. 4) Any new accounts for -
citizens who hit 65 Could participate in another type of discount
structure or, none at all, Council discussed in depth various
options. One suggestion brought up was to allow the citizens 9-
10,000 gallons of water at the old rate and anything over that
would be at the new rate.
Mayor Pro -tem Culpepper stated it was not the desire of the
Council to raise anyones rate 30% at one time but we need to get
something justifiable.
Kautz informed Council that we need to address the point
whether any rate discount of this sort is discriminatory and if
this could become a problem in the future.
Kautz asked Sheets 'to offer input regarding this situation.
Sheets stated he can understand Council's concern but from a
strictly "legal point of view and from 'the statutes we are
governed by and from the rules and regulations of -the Water
Commission the City will have a hard time justifying on a cost
basis any discount based on age. If the City is challenged on
this it is likely we will lose and if we lose the rate will be
raised.
Kautz asked Council what direction they desired to 'take
concerning the rate for citizens 65 and over.
It was the consensus of Council that more time was needed -to
study this and they were not ready 'to commit to anything at the
present time. The water and wastewater rates for citizens 65 and
over will remain as previously established.
3C, C i ty, M rjsaR2r eBob Bennett referred to the
press releases concerning the Super Collider Project and how
Westinghouse is involved. He also pointed out the quarterly
reports from Public Works and the Planning Department. Bennett
asked Steve Sheets to update Council on the Brazos River,
Autlfor ity Rate Case.
Sheets informed Council that at the moment -the first phase
of the hearing is complete. They have recessed for a time and
October 23, 1990
are scheduled to return in December for another two weeks. The
hearing is going reasonably well from the Citys point of view.
He said this is a long and slow process and the way things are
going some type of decision is expected in March or April of next
year.
Bennett concluded the City Manager's report by pointing out
the new Land Use map prepared by the Planning Department.

that the first Lady Barbara Bush will be in Round Rock at the

Gene Glaeser, Chairman of the Ethics Review
Commission, approached Council and informed them that the Ethics
Review Commission had completed its organizational efforts and
are now prepared to undertake those duties and responsibilities
established by the ordinance. During their orientation and
ordinance review several procedural guidelines intended to
facilitate commission business and to assure the integrity of
That. process were adopted by the commission . Mr. Glaeser briefly
went over the suggested amendments to the Ethics Ordinance. The
amendments consist of the use of a specific complaint form for
filing complaints and the procedure to be used when the
commission as a whole and individually as private citizens file a
complaint. Mr. Glaeser concluded that these recommendations will
assist citizens in filing of appropriate complaints and the
Commission in review of those complaints. This will serve to
assure the reputation and fairness of the ethics review process
within the City of Round Rock. Mr. Glaeser stated that the
Ethics Review Commission requests Council consider the adoption
of the proposed amendments to the ordinance.
Councilman Stluka commended Glaeser on the organization of
the Commission.
Council directed staff to place the amendments to the
ordinance on the next agenda.

Creek North Homeowners Association addressed Council, Willson
informed Council that over 81% of the citizens of Brushy Creek
H
October 23, 1990
North Subdivision have indicated, by signing an informal
pe-tition, -their desire to be annexed by the City of Round Rock.
Willson said on August 13th they went to the MUD Board and asked
them to estab I i sh a committee commissioned to split. out their
assets aand debt allocations. The committee met several times to
determine the expenses. During that -time research was also
developed into the laws of Texas to allow the splitting of a MUD
and the proper procedure to do so. Willson referred to the
financial detail of Brushy Creek North. Willson quoted from
sections of Vernon Texas Local Government Statutes concerning
annexations of MUDs. Willson said they firmly believe -that their
annexation into the City of Round Rock will be beneficial to both
the City and Brushy Creek North. Willson stated the citizens of
Brushy Creek North request that Council direct staff to develop a
plan for the annexation of Brushy Creek North subdivision.
Willson concluded with the annexation will be a "win/win"
situation for both parties.
Mayor Pro -tem Culpepper informed Willson this has been tried
before.
In response to a question from Council, Sheets stated the
major point that has to be done is that the City and MUD Board
need to meet and negotiate an allocation of the debt and existing
debt and asset of the district so we will know what the City is
assure ina and how much tax base we are getting.
Mayor Pro -tem Culpepper informed Willson that procedural
wise they need to -take their request to the MUD Board and
Formally ask them to come to the City.
Willson asked if the MUD attorney and City attorney can meet
to discuss this. Sheets informed Willson they have met on
previous occasions to discuss this and the impression he received
is that the Board is not interested.
Mayor Pro -tem Culpepper offered an open invitation to the
MUD Board for Council to meet with them whenever and wherever
they choose.

presentation. Council approved this item along with other
projects as part of the 1988--1989 Capital Budget. At that time

PID (Public Improvement District). State law requires the

all parties benefiting from the improvements must: be assessed
under a formula that, can be established as equitable -to all
pat -ties, Glue to unusual circumstances of this project ( some
parties did not front the improvements, some were; fully
developed, etc .) staff was unable to establish a formula totally
equitable to all parties. However, since the project is very
important in providing area employees a safe and convenient
method of returning -to Round Rock, staff' recommends that; the
project go f=orward.
Mayor Pro -teff) Culpepper asked if the, Highway Department had
been contacted concerning the establishment of a traffic control
light at. the intersection of FM 1325 and the proposed new road
Vining informed council that a traffic study was done and
results of -that study showed that a light would definitely be

Mayor Pro -tem Culpepper read -the following resolution.
RESOLUTION NO.
WHEREAS, the City Council approved the 1988-89 Capital
Budget on April 27, 1989, and
WHEREAS, the City Council approved $220,000 for the South
Industrial Boulevard project, and
WHEREAS, the staff has been unable to structure a

Joanne Land made the staff presentation. In May Council
designated the City Secretary as the official government records
management officer. She said the city needs to enact an
ordinance establishing a Records Management Program with the
duties and responsibilities outlined in the ordinance by January,
1991. This ordinance simply outlines the duties and
responsibilities of the Records
duties and responsibilities of
Management Officer along with the
each City department. This is

not -the actual program. The program needs to be in place by
January 1, 1995 with a retention schedule attached to that piece
of legislation. The actual program will be brought to Council at
a later date. The City's ordinance was structured from the model
ordinance provided by the Texas Library Association.
In response to Councilman Joseph and Mayor Pro -tem
Culpepper's questions Land briefly offered certain guidelines
that would be estab I i shed in the program.
3C. Consider- discussion concern i_r the
pEggedure/requirements for �Lag_i disbursements or) Council
gond _sem In response to questions concerning the procedure and
policy concerning requirements for placing disbursements on
Council agendas. Bob Bennett gave the following statement:
"The City Council is not required to make any disbursements for
the City. The Council obligates the City by approving budgets,
contracts, and projects, The City Manager then has the
responsibility of ensuring 'that obligations and commitments the
City Council has made are fulfilled, The Council makes policy
and obligations on behalf of the public and the City Manager
implements the policy and obligations on behalf of the Council.
Monthly financials are then provided the Council to keep the
Couric i I current on how much money has been spent meeting the
obligations on a line item basis.
There is, however, one area where the Council plays a
disburseriient roll. The City Council has been disbursing capital
funds since the City became a Home Rule City. Although there is
not a requirement for the Council to make disbursements of bond
funds, 1 -feel it to be very important. I believe bond funds
represent a higher order of funds. These funds are owed to our
bond holders that provided the money and and money is dearer in
that it is long term money and we therefore pay an interest
charge. Also, the bond funds are being spent on projects that
are Usually very visable to the community. The disbursement
process acts as an additional check on 'the con -tractor, to ensure
that he is doing his job properly. The process also keeps the
Council up-to-date on project specifics as eche money is
1December 13, 1990
disbursed.
All the City Ccunciis I have served to date have had the
very major responsibility of building a City. We have spent
millions and millions of dollars and have made few mistakes wit h
our project management process. Even though -there is no
requirement for the Council to approve capital disbursements, or
any disbursements, and even though this method slows clown payment
to individuals t he City Council has obligated public funds to, I
believe it is still the best way to conduct. business.
I recommend that capital project funds continue to b
disbursed by the Council and that other obligations made by they
Council be disbursed by the City Manager in continued conformance
with the City Charter. Only capital projects should be placed on
the Council agenda".
Bennet-t-.also recommended that the monthly Financial €deport
be sent:: over to the Public Library for the public to view. This
will allow the citizens to know where the City stands in its
spending patterns on a monthly basis.
Council gave their approval concerning the Financial Re sport
being available at the Library and City Hall.
Councilman Palmer requested that•«. the procedure presently
being fo l l owed concerning legal fees should continue until staff
s given other direction.
l c rise r ci r ac uss 1 on and u date of the Reg i otea l �., wen
Jim %Ruse made the staff presentation. Several issues
are facing the Regional Sewer project. Slowed growth in the
upstream portions of the watershed has postponed the need for
this project to move in its prior schedule. Even when the need is
demonstrated clue to some chanced conditions, such as habitat
issues, the reed for any further improvements on the project may
not occur for abouts 5 years. Therefore, it is the desire of the
participants Round Rock, Austin and the WCID, to reduce costs by
eliminating the administrative portion of project and put the
contract on hold. Several issues which will arise soon include:
disposition of district materials; files and drawings; canceling
;open contracts with encineers and other consultants; putting in
December 13, 1990
place a re -activation plan; and discussing how to recover our,
reimbursement from that is due from the City of Austin. Round
Rock constructed certain improvements which oversized facilities
at the East Wastewater Treatment Plant for the district.
Currently, the reimbursement is triggered on the requirement for
plant capacity by Austin. Staff will work weekly with Austin and
the WCID to get this started.
3E. Ci Manaqer's Report:
Bob Bennett briefly touched on the
information provided to
Council. Concerning the request from the Chamber. Bennett
offered a recommendation of using half of the $25,000 allocated
to the Chamber to purchase equipment needed. The equipment would
be on loan to the Chamber arid the City would retain ownership.
The Capital Improvements Program timetable has been
established. The CIP is now being considered by the Planning
Commission The timetable also anticipates the CIF' going to a
General Obligations task force this spring.
On December l8th, Mayors from the various cities throughout
Williamson County will meet to come up with a legislative
program to take to the State Legislature. The matters discussed
will then be brought before Council for consideration to develop
the first Round Rock legislative program.
The Tourism Committee will be revitalized after Phil Brewer,
of the Chamber of Commerce, acquires a second person to help
h i m.
There will be a Bellaire Circle Improvements meeting on
December 18-th at 6:00 pm. in the Council Chamber.

the staff presentation. Each year, in preparation for
publication of the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, a
formal closing and final amendment of the operating budget is
performed. The closing ensures that the budget activity is
recorded on an accrual basis as required by the City's financial
reporting standards. Kautz added this essentially is a "house
cleaning" process. Final coast data, after adjustments for
increased fuel, power and equipment repair casts, reflects that
the General Fund will add over $20,000 to the Fund Balance. This
adjustment and final budget is within 112 percent of the City's
original projections.'
Councilwoman Oatman questioned the figure under legal fees.
In response Kautz said legal fees pertaining to specific funds
are placed in those funds. Councilwoman Oatman asked if a total
amount of all legal fees which include litigation and outside
counsel be reflected can the budget. Kautz said he could provide
summary of funds on all legal fees.
At Mayor Robinsons direction Kautz briefly updated Council
on the statin of the budget for the present time. The City is
having an excellent performance in the sales tax area. We are
exceeding the revenue esti mates' by 'pprox i mate l y $23,000 i n the

action by the Appraisal Review Board concerning the correction of
the'tax`ro'll.' Mr.-Blackburn'referred tosegments of the property
tax 'codefor the State of Texas and different appeals concerning
the same s,ituatiinn . He re4tjUested, ,on behalf of the taxpayer,
Councils assistance ih'getting the Ata� collector to issue the
refund that the property tax'cod6 says'shoUld be issued. If this
does not occur the taxpayer would have no but to
Institute proceedings against the City of Round Rock.
I Steve Sheets said his recommendation of not granting the
refund is based on discussion,in the Executive' Session. The
reason being the error made was not legally a,clerical error and
`the Appraisal Review' Boards; dci6is,ion to change the tax roll was
an error which makes ther'Ofund'order,an error. Sheets added,
based on the amountof the'refOnd it is worth going to the
district court tosee if the'd6cision from the Appraisal Review
Board is correct. The decisi'on of not granting the refund would
encourage the Appraisal Review Board in the future to.be careful
in granting"changes �ern the cert ified`tax roll based on a claimed
clerical error.
Mayor Robinson added the City has no recourse but to
challenge th1s''because the City would not be able to set their
tax rate on a certified tax roll if it is not correct.

names linked with gangs and information is exchanged with the
school district. He has encouraged parents to stay abreast of
their youths activities, Friends and behavior. In response to
Councils question officer Thomas asked for Councils support. He
added that an additional full-time officer that would deal only
with youth gangs would allow the department to stay on top of the

3A. Consider disussion concerning Participation with the
Capital Area Housinq Finance Corporation in therroovis i cin of
Sin le Familyl�i� ae Revenue Bonds. Joe Vining made the staff
presentation. Pursuant to a Council goal of increasing our
housing market opportunities, staff has met with attorney's for
the Capital Area Housing Finance Corporation to determine the
eligibility requirements for the City. As noted in the
Loan Origination Summary provided to Council, Round Rock citizens
were already participating in the program. This will authorize
188
January 10, 19:91
expansion of that program based on our population. Vining
introduced Mr. Seth Searcy, legal council for the Capital Area
Housing Finance Corporation. He briefly explained the creation
of the Capital Area Housing Finance Corporation. He added the
Texas Housing Finance Corporations Act contains a provision to
the effect that the governing body of any municipality of more
than 20,000 inhabitants must consent to the exercise withinthe
municipality of jurisdiction by any county housing finance
corporation. Since Round bock has a population in Williamson
County in excess of 20,000, that population can be served by
Capital Area HFC only ;if Round Rock consents. Such consent will
permit Capital Area HFC to finance below-market mortgage leans
made to first-time homebuyers in the Williamson County portion of
the City of Round Rock, under a program expected to be
established through the issuance of Capital Area HFC bonds early
in the second quarter of 1991. This consent will also allow
Capital Area HFC to issue an additional $3,741,000 of mortgage
bonds to finance such loans, under applicable state and federal
bond authority allocation rules. Searcy noted there is no
overlap here with the jurisdiction of Travis County or the Travis
County Housing Finance Corporation. Travis County HFC has not
included the Williamson County portion of Round Rock's population
for purposes of its proposed mortgage bond issue, and is not
authorized under state law to purchase mortgage foams made in
Williamson County. He pointed out there is no cost to the City
and no obligation on the loans.
3B. Consider_ discussion concerning municicipal issues in the
1991 Le isl Live Session Joe Vining made the staff presentation.
The convening of the 72nd Legislature will provide important
challenges for our lawmakers, likewise, it is equally important
that we keep abreast of proposed legislation that may affect our
city.
Stuff will keep the Council updated by reviewing legislation
and passing along the information periodically. The most
effective means of doing this is 'through the "TML Legislative
Update". Vining referred to the copy provided to Council
January 10, 1991
containing the 1991 TML Legislative Program. He briefly outlined
legisl,ation that may have a particular benefitv cost, or impact
for Round Rock. The consensus received on areas of concern are
habitat, airort/Mokan, redistricting, funding mechanism,
pollution 'abatement plan,half cent sales tax and economic
development.
Vining said 'a copy Of Austin"s Legislative program and
informatiow regarding, the First Annual Williamson County
Legislative Forum is also provided to Council'.
3C. Consider disuss iori c6ncerni'ng disannexaticin of certain
prgp�g �t. Joe Vining made the'staff''presentation. Included in
the annexation planofA'987 I was an 'area 'of � 1, 74 acres'located at
the southeastcorner of IH -35 and County'Road 170. The area
included some existi'ng businesses fronti,ng on IH -35 and County
Road 170.' The majority of the'property was undeveloped but
considering the growth pressures of that time, the area was
considered as havl'ng a'higft degree of development potential.
''This was tNe`pr inary reason for annexation. The State Department
of Highways and Public Transportation converted the Intersect -ion
frontage roads 'south of'FM1325/Co'unty Road 170 to one-way 'on
January 1'6,'1989. This was earlierthan was originally scheduled
but was necessary for their construction management of the IH -35
improvements. This conversion has made access to the property by
our Police,grid fire units 'substanti'ally more difficult.
Staff recommends that we begin disannexati,on proceedthgs:for
an area' of approximately 9 acres on the east frontage road.
"Vini6g referred to the map provided to Council which sbowed the
are6l''recommended for disannexation.
Councilman Palmer inquired if staff has looked into the cost
of putting 6 road in the back of the property in question.
Vining said yes and staff 'did not receive'6favorable response to
in response�to C66hdilman�Stluka's question Vining said a
sewer line is in place to that area but not a waterline. Council
directed staff to proceed forward on their recommendation.

however, staff is continuing to explore every possibility -to
accomplish this task. Problems staff is trying to work out
is access to the cash fund balance, determining the pro -rate
share of the debt, and the additional tax burden to Round Rock
citizens for the provision of police and fire protection
services.
Council offered their support of the annexation if it does
not burden the current citizens with an additional tax.
Council assured the citizens of Brushy Creek North that they
want them in the City but if there is a tax increase for the
current citizens of Round Rock then Council and staff would need
to continue their work in trying to solve the situation.

OLD BUSINESS:
Councilwoman Oatman requested an update and status report on
the disannexation request for property along,the IH -35 frontage
road and County Road 170. In response to Councilwoman Oatman's
question, Joe Viningsaida petition was received from the
property owners requesting disannexation. When staff received
the list of property owners from the tax office they noticed a
different set of names than there were on the petition. So staff
drafted a letter informing those citizens of the disannexation
request asking their preference of being disannexed or remaining
220
January 24, 1'991
in the City. Staff is presently waiting for response from those
property owners.
Vining pointed out thatthe tax rolls are set on January
Ist and any property on the tax roll is taxed for the whole year.
If disannexation occurs anytime throughout,the year the taxes
still need to be paid.
Staff suggested that Council could take action -as soon as
possible but the,ordinance would go intoeffect December 31,
1.991 This way the properties.can:,be disannexed in time,to,get
them off the tax rolls for: the=next year. The property could
,still be provided with services up to that point since they still
,have to pay the taxes fear ,the ,year .
added, staff is utak i,ngsure all ,opt ions have been
action ts,taken ,by:Council .
Staff clarified that the recommendation -for ,di,sannexation
pertains ,,only : to the 9 acres that front ,along the interstate.
Also water and wastewater could be provided to the property
owners on thesouth side of County Road 170 but they would have
to meet with staff to workout the arrangement and their cost.
Mayor Robinson pointedout that tax dollars don't pay for
water and sewer.. Water and sewer rates pay for water and sewer.

the first meeting 1n March agenda. At that time Council will
make some type of decision concerning that request.

Club. He said Council had met with residents of Oak Bluff. They
asked Jan Patillo to bring homeowners of Oak Bluff to them so
they could informed them of the , Council Subcommittee

Country Club. Mayor Robinson apologized that the residents who
attended did,,not circul�ate the informat,ion�but there has onin
been one meeting and nothing wasl;doounc-il would1ike to see
something done with theasset that was,given to the City. No one
had expressed interest in taking over the club,and the City is
not in the catering or restaurant business. The City will
advertise the sale of the club to see what its worth. The City
does not have to accept the bids. If the club is bought they
will have to follow our zoning ordinance., Mayor Robinson added
anyone can submit a bid, even the residents of Oak Bluff. It is
Councils des,ire, to see something is done with the club rather
than letting it stand empty. A public hearing will be held at
the next Council meeting.

Mayor Robinson opened the floor for comments from Council.
Councilwoman Oatman said she had a statement she would like
to read. "I am not in favor ofthe,Franklin R.U.D. at this time.
If feel that in order to maintainthe continuity to an already
developed area. We need to go back to the drawing board. During
the golf course proceedings I heard over and over how important
it was to create a beautiful course in order to attract high end
housing. The,folks that�"]Ave;-inthis area are living in high end

housing. They chose this area for this reason and.,:havel°paid alot
of money to obtain the standard of living they so desired. We
must not. for the sake of one or some developers lower our
standards. Streets and drainage is an issue. No parking signs a
policing problem. To many homes per acre compared to what is
already there. 1::Iive,in an area with narrow streets and poor
drainage. My lot size is about 100 by 150 and I can tell you
that I understand and Vhave for years narrow streets where two
cars can't even pass one another. Drainage problems that I can
foresee in this that's laid out in front of me. Let's go back to
the drawing board and bring back a plan we can all be proud of
now and in,the :future. Thank you."
Mayor Pro -tem Culpepper stated that Rob Roy is a high end
subdivision that has ribbon curves. He spoke on deed
restrictions adding, that City has done alot to preserve the
integrity of the area.
Councilman Stluka isaid eventhough the plan looks, good he
could not support it at this time. He saida couple of things
may have been missedduring the initial agreement,. His concern
is .of the park land ,and he would like to reconsider the size of
the lots.
Councilman Joseph expressed his concern on the street
standards and if they, were wide enough. Other concerns were on
the storm water detention and parkland. He inquired if Oak Bluff
had a dedicated park area. The residents responded they did not.
Councilman Palmer expressed his concern on the lack of
parkland, lot sizes and the necessity of the multi -family
development. He said he could understand some small lots for
people who retire want to live close to the -golf coarse and don't
want to maintain a large -yard.
Mayor Robinson said after hearing concerns from Council he

Councilman Stluka briefly stated the City Charter makes it
very, clear that'an'attorney representing the City serves at the
Councils will and that in turn gives the Council the opportunity
to address the performance of that attorney whenever its deemed
necessary. He said he fully `supports `the 'current City legal
services arrangement and opposes any contractual arrangement.
Cost of legal services should be addressed during the budget
process for the next fiscal year: Councilman Stluka added that
he supports 100% the present arrangement for legal services.
Councilman 'Palmer s'a'ld m6j6r parts of his objection is the
cost, availability 'and 'passible conflict of interest. He added
he had no complaints on Mr. 'S' eets ability but he could not
support the resolution
Councilwoman Qatman said'' she rhad previously made her
feelings clear. A thorough exploration of to -house attorneys has
not ''be accomplished. Councilwoman Oatman oint`ed out she had
voiced her concern on legal fees during the budget process. She
added she could not support the 'resolution.
Councilman Correa said in the 13 years he has served on the
Council he had "not seen Mr. heets"loos'e a court case. He added
Mr. Sheets' has done a fine job and has saved the taxpayers
millions of dollars. Councilman Correa said he is in support of
the resolution'
Councilman Joseph said Mr. Sheets has done'a good job. His
track record shows that: He added this resolution is for a vote
of` confidence and he supports the resolution.
Mayor Robinson read the following letter he 'received today.
"Dear, ` Mayor,
1 have been a member of the industrial community of Round
Rack for over eleven years but this i's the first time ` ` I have
felt compelled to address in issue`that is symptomatic of events
that I believe are endangering ghat makes Round 'Rock unique and
special
Earlier this week "I was asked to deliver an address entitled
"The Transfor~mat i ori of Round Rock" to a group of Westinghouse
executives in Pittsburgh. From 1971 through 1989, Westinghouse
241
'February 14, 1991
never made a dime from its operation here, but its commitment to
stay a part of Round Rock never wavered. In my talk I focused on
the reasons why. The people were absolutely outstanding workers,
it was a fine plant facility, but most importantly, because Round
Rock was a special place. The City Government, the Chamber of
Commerce, the volunteer organizations, the whole fiber of the
City was dedicated to the support, and improvement of its
citizens and businesses. It was unique and special and it was
the efforts of the people in key positions that keyed its
success.
bel ' ieve,,i,f it,were not fear thip uniqueness there would
still be a "For Sale" sign in front of our plant. If it were not
for the effortsandstature of people like yourself, Pete Correa,
Charlie Culpepper, Bob Bennett, Joe Vining and Steve Sheets, to
name a few, the Westinghouse,Motor Comppny,would not have decided
to stay in Round Rock and give Westinghouse the long awaited
wi ',nnerl, ithas, become. It,was ', these ,same people who played a
major role in having Westinghouse decide to come to Round Rock to
produce magnets for, the Super Conducting Super Collider and
return the plant to full production and employement.
I So it bothers me when I hear people like Steve Sheets and
the service he performs for the City debated and maligned. It is
my opinion that 'Steve ,brings far more value to the City than an
"in-house" attorney could. Not only does he bring superior
skill,,, but he also brings his passion for the community, and his
presence as a leader in the community. I have had the
opportunity to work with Steve on efforts to bring jobs and a tax
base to the City. He's been a key factor in the success of our
efforts and represents the City positively; and with concern for
the welfare of the taxpayer.
V, hope I haven't been to long winded in attempting to
express myself. It would benefit us all to hold fast to
focussing, on pulling together and not risk losing what has made
Round Rock special.
Sincerely,
R. C. Tranchon
President and C.E.O,.','
Mayor Pro -tem 'Culpepper stated this seems to have turned
,into a battle of,personalities., Mr. Sheets has saved the City
alot of money. He has shown his ability and has done everything
Council has asked him to do. Possibly a written definition of
what Mr. Sheetsdutiesare should be drawn up to show what he
actually does. Mayor Pro -tem Culpepper said he is pleased with
Mr. Sheets performance and supports the resolution.

of the US 79 Waterline,. Mayor Robinson asked Mayor Pro --tem
CuIpepper to chair''the `- meet ing' sihc6 he had a confl,idt of
interest and had signed an affidavit stating so.,
Nuse explained that a' dead 'end, <waterline, exists along
highway 79 between Sunrise Road and 1460. In,order-to provide
circulation and improve system reliability. 'Bill Waeltz of Rio
Tech was directly involved with both the waterline at 1460 and
the force main from the Meadows at Chandler Creek. This force
main follows the same alignment as the proposed waterline and Mr.
Waeltz is familiar with the area.
Councilman Joseph asked since this is an extension of an
existing waterlAne could this be done as a joint project with Rio
Tech to continue saving money. Muse said the city lacks the
equipment and manpower to accomplish this.
Councilman Palmer inquired how this would be' funded. 'Muse
said this project is in the current ,CIP and funded through
reallocated revenue bonds. This was placed in the CIP twoyears
ago. Councilman Palmer also inquired how much Rio Tech would be
payed. Nose offered an approximate estimate. He added the -cost
of the project 'including engineering and contingencies is
estimated to be $80,400.

9G. Consider a resolution autbgEj2LLp_q a qhpD_ge order for
Corrosion Eliminators, Inc. toRg�nt the main well site tank.
Jim Nuse made the staff presentation.
Recently a level transducer failed at the main well site
To assess the damage, the tank was drained and, inspected
internally. The inspection revealed that several locations, of
the top angle brace and several rafters had rusted in several
locations.,,
This tank is scheduled to be the next tank repaired in the
on-going tank rehabilitation program. During this program, the
tank will be, sandblasted, and painted inside and out, new
overflows constructed and any other necessary rehabilitation such
as rust removal and welding.
Since some damage to the tank occurred, which is covered by
our insurance, staff recommends painting and modifying the
overflows at this time. Corrosion Eliminator currently has a
contract with the City of Round Rock for the rehab of two tanks.
The contractor has agreed to extend his unit prices for painting
related items and the rehab work. The repairs will be negotiated
February 14, 1991
with the insurance company.
This change order is recommended for several reasons:
The contractor is in town and can paint and repair this tank
prior to the heavy summer usage.
The unit prices are from a bid that was opened on October
16, 1990, where four contractors bid. This insures that_ the
work will be done competitively.
Repairportion is covered by insurance.
The longer it takes to paint the tank, the longer the
corrosion has'.to work. If it were bid out, we could not
schedule the work prior to next winter.
The painting portions, including normal rehabiliation,
welding is $62,123.'
in response to Councilman Palmers concern on the process to
be used in the repair of the tank and its lead content, Osey Dow
of Corrosion Eliminators explainers what they do. He added; they
have previously done this type of work for the City using all
safety aspects.
In response to Councilwoman Oatmans question, Nuse said
there is no problem in going back out to bid for this.
RESOLUTION NO.
-WHEREAS, the City of Round Rack has previously entered into
a contract with Corrosion Eliminators, Inc, for the 1990 Tank
Rehabilitation Project4 and
WHEREAS, it has since been determined that the around
storage tank at the main well site is in need of painting and
rehabilitation, and
WHEREAS, Corrosion Eliminators, Inc. is willing to -paint and
rehabilitate the said ground storage tank for the same unit
prices as contained in its original bid, Now Therefore
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROUND iROCK,
TEXAS
That the Mayor is hereby authorized and directed to execute
on behalf of the City a Change Order to the contract with
Corrosion Eliminators, Inc. for the 19901 Tank Rehabilitation
Project to add the ground storage tank at the main well site.

Water Plant Modifications. J'im use made the staff presentation.
The City received only one (1) bid for the project mentioned
above. A local Round Rock firm, Jezek Construction Co.,
submitted a proposal in the'amount of $37,752.00. The estimate
for this project was $25,306.00.
There were six (6) possible bidders for this project. Staff
contacted several contractors who Purchased plans/specifications
to find out why they had not submitted a proposal. The responses
ranged from acquiring the plans too late, the value of the
project was not large enough, and the project was too diverse.
It appears the project estimatepossibl,y did not adequately
address sorne'labor,intensive activies such as the dismantling of
the existing pump station. Also, some material cost may, have
been undervalued, creating a lower overall project, cost. One
interesting aspect of the responses was the comments concerning
the paint removal activity. There was a general consensus that
this work activity could possibly be broken out into a distinct
separate project. Nearly half of the bidders were interested in
either,the mechanical aspectof',this project or the painting but
not both together.
Staff believes the lbest option at this point would be to
reject the'si`ng le bid received and readvertiseTthe' project at two
separate contracts with a revised estimate.

Police Department' Joe Vining made the staffpresentation.
Staff prepared an appli'cation'for a gram: to fund a'Juvenile' Drug
Enforcement Officer' and Juvenile Law Enforcement Officer
Projects. This grant would provide the manpower and equipment to
implement a program designed to reduce juvenile gang offense
activity with a particular emphasis on drug trafficking. This is
a "step grant", meaning that the first year is funded at 100`0 -
$5,915, second year at 800 - $6,382; third year at 600 - $12,802;
fourth year at 40% - $19,256; fifth year at 20% -- $25,747. The
project is fully funded by the City in sixth year at $.31,824.
The grunt does require a 50% match for equipment in the first
year.

to the scale of the Off i c i a 1 Zoni r m from 'I inch ' = 8� 0 feet' to
I inch = 400 feet. Joe Vining made the staff presentation'. The
Planning Department has` completed t e'redrafting of the city
zoning maps at a more deter i l`ed scale of 111 = 400` ' The new
maps are drawn at a scale which`allows 'citizens to see each
Individual 1cat and avoid' confusion related to interpreting
property'lin s. The maps'do not change existing zoning.
Mayor Robinson `opened the public hearing. There being no
public testimony the public hearing was closed.
7B'. Consider public'testim_xor%'concernin' the Visible sale
of the Round Oock ountr C'tub. Bob Bennett made` the staff
presentation. He read the following prepared statement.
"Regarding the farmer` Round Rock 'Country Club, which i`s now
owned by the City, the City has two basic options (A) Sell the
Property and "(b) 'FCeep the Property.
A. Sell the Property
The advantages of selling the property are that the City
could put the cash proceeds to another, public use and would no
longer have the responsibilities of maintaining and managing the
Property.
The disadvantages of selling are that the general real
estate market is low at the present time, a_purchaser could put
the property to a use that might not be beneficial to the golf
course, conflicts might develop between the_,golf course and the
club over parking rights, and the future value of the country
club/golf course asset would be deminished by selling the country
club.
B. Keep the Property
Under this option, there are two sub -options, (1) enter into
an agreement whereby some other entity takes responsibility of
the property and (2) the City manages the property itself.
(1) Under the option whereby another entity takes over the
property, there are two types of agreements, (i) a pease or (ii)
a management agreement.
{i) Under a lease, some entity would agree to pay the
City periodic rent: payments (presumably monthly) for the right to
possess and use the property. Of course, the terms of the base
would be subject to negotiation and could vary greatly. As in an
outright sale, a lease must be bid.
(ii) Under, a management agreement, a separate entity
would operate the property and the City would share in the
Profits generated by the property, much in the same way the golf
course is being operated now. The percentage of profits, who
bears expenses and lasses, and other operational matters would be
subject to negotiation. Unlike,a sale or lease, a management
agreement would not be required to bid.
(2) Under the opti,on., wbereby _the �C,i y_ retains the
responsibility over;the,property,, there are also two choices (i)
manage the property much in the same way the Rabb House and
Kenningham Park are managed or,{ii) essentially ,"mothball" the
property.
(i) If the City manages the, property a certain
amount of stuff time and effort would be required. There would
be costs associated with staffing, maintaining, and repairing the
off-set by"fees charged users of the property. However, losses
would have to be borne by the City.
(ii) Expenses could be minimized by "mothballing" the
property which would entail draining the pool, cutting off all
but essential utilities, and taking proper precautions against
vandalism, etc. Any costs would not be offset immediately, but
if the property were sold or put to a profitable use in the
future, such costs would presumably be recouped."
Joe Vining briefly went over the zoning of the country club
property. He said the property is presently zoned OS (Open
Space); he briefly described what is allowed in that type of
zoning district.
Mayor Robinson said Council would like to see what their
options are and then decide what they will do.
Nelson Ringmacher, 6 Meandering Way, informed Council of
his concerns. He said that the area does not need a night club
and that any type of business will generate additional -traffic to
the neighborhood. He added his main concern is with the pool and
tennis courts. He would like assurance that the pool would be
operational by this summer and Council had a moral obligation to
do so. Also that a quick sale of the country club may give the
City quick dollars but it would not be in the best long range
interest of the City. He concluded that he would like to work
with the City to make sure the pool would be open by May 25th.
Thomas Karnes, 6 Hillway, asked Council to let the
homeowners of the Oak Bluff Subdivision participate with the
City in negotiations for the sale of the country club.
Another Oak Bluff Estates resident echoed statements from
the two previous speakers and added he supported their
statements,
L. N. (Beet) McKee, 7 Meandering Way, said he also agreed
with the previous speakers.
There being no further public testimony the public hearing
was closed.

PROCLAMATIONS:- None
PRESENTATIONS:
100. Consider a 2nesentationb Perez, Round Rock
y Oscar Pe
I ndc t�enctent School District Boardmember, concern j_D_q the g2,..gm n
School Bond Election. Oscar Perez of the Round Rock Independent
School District Board of Trustees offered' a presentation on
the upcoming School Bond Election March ine
presentation consisted of a video tape that explained the
necessity of the Bond Electiori and answered questions that had
been brought up. Members of the School Board distributed
brochures titled "0 & A about the'Bond Election". Mr. Perez
clarified that his presentation Was only to inform Council and
citizens and their intent was not to seek an endorsement,. ,
Councilman Stluka stated the School Board put together a
good presentation that addressed clot of concerns.
Mayor Robinson informed Mr. Perez that staff is still
working on setting up a joint work session with Council and the
School Board. Mr. Perez responded that he was looking forward to
that meeting.
10B. Consider a an�esentation concerning the creation of a
Parks and Recreation Adyisor
y Board. Sharon Prete made the staff
presentation. She said this was originally brought up at the
March 14, 1991
273
Council retreat in January. Staff noted the comments and drafted
a preliminary ordinance. Prete briefly went over major points of
the ordinance.
Councilman Palmer commented favorably on the creation of a
Parks and Recreation Advisory Board. He added this would
strictly be an advisory board with input from our citizens.
Councilwoman Oatman added she and Councilman Palmer met with
staff to try to address his concerns which resulted in the
preliminary ordinance.
Councilman Correa questioned portions of the budget for the
Board.
In response to Councilwoman Oatmans question Prete said she
saw no problem in working with the Board adding this type of
board has worked in other cities.
Mayor Robinson stated his concern that this would be adding
another layer of government and their seemed to be a duplication
of responsibilities., Mayor Robinson referenced sections in the
City Charter, Subdivison and Zoning Ordinance adding the duties
of the board are already being handled somewhereelse.
Councilwoman Oatman said the board would just handle the
park section of the subdivision plats and eventhough.At was
,another level of government it would allow citizen participation
which is important.
Councilman Joseph suggested deleting portions of ,the
ordinance that indicated duplication of duties.
In response to Councilman Stlukas question Bennett stated
the Library Board has no authority, no budget and their duties
are vague.
Councilman Stluka,requested a copy of the ordinance creating
the Library Board to compare with the preliminary Parks Board
ordinance.
It was the consensus of Council to place this ordinance on
the next agenda for action.
10C. Consider,resent�at concerning refinancing q_f the
Round Rock Volunteer Fire Qep!prtTenlfnt truck. David Kautz
made the staff presentation. The Round Rock Volunteer Fire
274
March 14, 1991
Department purchased a small fire truck from FMC Corporation in
1984 and financed it with a 10 -year note at 8%. The amount
remaining on the note is $23,848.48. The City has the
opportunity to finance the remaining portion of the note as
illustrated.
Note Balance
3/91 ,00 $23,848.48
4/91 $7,900.00 15,948.48
4/92 7,900.00 8,048.48
4/93 8,048.48 .0
The Volunteers would benefit from such an arrangement and the
accelerated repayemnt schedule would minimize the interest cost
-to the City. This would result in a $4,000 interest cost savings
to the Volunteers and a total City cost of $1,800 over the course
of 25 months.
Council directed staff to place this on the next agenda.
IOD. Consider a presentation concerning disannexation.
Joe Viningmade the staff presentation. Vining outlined the
staff recommendation regarding the requested disannexation of
certain land lying south of County Road 170. Of the nine
properties seven have responded to staff, concerning the
disannexation Of the responses received all but one requested
disannexation. If disannexation is granted their fire protection
would fall under the ,jurisdiction of the Pflugerville. Volunteer
Fire Department. For law enforcement the Sheriffs department
would need to respond. The Pflugerville fire department would
need to meet with the residents to see if they could extend their
services to that area. Vining said there is still plenty of time
to work details out because the property owners requesting
disannexation would not be saving any money if they are
disannexed now. Since they were on the taxrolls January 1st
those taxes would have to be paid regardless if they were in or
out of the City. Staff recommended that 9 acres along the
frontage read south of County Road 170 be disannexed. This
includes all the businesses south of County Road 170 that are
within the city limits,, with the exception of the Fairy tract and
March 14, 1991
the Texeco.
WIM
Mayor Robinson clarified that staffs recommendation does not
include any properties along County Road 170.
Council discussed concerns -that were brought up by the
properties owners requesting disannexation The time schedule
for possible disannexation was also discussed.
Council requested that this item be placed can the next
agenda. Mayor Robinson directed staff to fully inform all the
property owners of what is being proposed and the results that
could occur if disannexation is granted.
PUBLIC HEARINGS: None
ORDINANCES:
12A. Consider an ordinance revising the _19901-91 General
Fund dud et.. ( f i rst Read i ng_j J i m Nuse made the staff
presentation. The need has arisen to acquire .a brush chipper.
Under current environmental regulations, the City can no longer
burn brush -- it must be hauled to the county landfill at a cost
of approximately $20,000 annually. Acquisition of a chipper
would substantially reduce this annual disposal cost. The
chipped brush creates a by-product that is recyclable through
composting.
The chipper would be purchased with General Fund cash
brought forward from prior years. The equipment purchase is
required to be budgeted in the General Fund budget as a revision.
If this is approved then the budgeted expenditure for the
current year then would exceed revenue by $9,642. This is made
up from cash brought forward from prior years.
In response to Councilman Joseph and Councilman Palmer's
questions Nuse said the brush ch1pper will be •
stationary con -Figuration that could be modified to be moved
around but not behind a;truck. The mulch would be used by the
parks department at no cost.
Mayor Robinson pointed out this will not put us in a deficit
situation.

Joe Vining made the staff presentation. Due to the cur -rent

Commission, Ray Amaro,was called to active duty. This made it
difficult to get a quorum for a meeting.
To assure efficient functioning of all city Boards and
Commissions staff recommended approval of the ordinance.
