Councilman Joseph stated he was for strong citizen input regarding PARD. He stressed the point of Section 1.2608 that I it does not say "MAy assist" and if a developer comes into our City he does not want the Board to chase them away, "because we need to continue having a tax base here". The ordinance could be revised after a year. Councilwoman Oatman referred to Section 1.2603 concerning attendance.

CITIZENS COMMUNICATION: Joe Vining approached Counci l and stated the City received the 1991 Texas Urban Forestry Award Friday, April 5, 1991 in recognition of the Trees for Round Rock Project. The City of Round Rock was recognized in the Local Government (Small City) category by the Texas ;Forest 'Service , and the Texas Urban Forestry Council. Representatives from local civic groups, businesses and industries, who made the project.', possible were on hand for the presentation. and were photographed around the award. John Moman, .5413 move Creek Drive, member of the Planning and Zoning Commission, commented on the proposed Parks and Recreation. Advisory Board.. Moman pointed out he was speaking on behalf of W April 11, 1991 himself and not the Planning and Zoning Commission. Moman suggested instead of setting up another board possibly the Planning and Zoning Commission could be given more responsibility in the area of Parks and Recreation. He concluded by saying that being a taxpayer he knew it cost clot of money to set up a whole new board and he just didn't know if this was the highest and best use of taxpayers money., Councilman Stluka requested some time to make the following statement. "I would like to address these remarks to all citizens of our City of Round Rock. , Iam very bothered and concerned about what seems -to be the intentional distortion and misrepresentation of facts., 1, would like to highlight just some of the areas I'm concerned where this is happening. Legal Fees: The State Bar of Texas did a study in 1988 that surveyed attorney fees. The average per hour fee for an attorney in this area was $128 per hour. The City of Round Rock pays Mr. Steve Sheets, and his firm, who has 14 years experience in Municipal Law, and I would like to underline 14 years experience in Municipal Law, $85 per hour. In fiscal year 1987-88, the in- house, at that time in-house, full-time city attorney, Don Wolf, made a budget recommendation that he stated was the minimum necessary to handle day-to-day legal workload, of $166,207. That is $38,693 more than what the City paid Mr. Sheets for General Legal Services in fiscal year 1989-90. Now, yes there are other legal costs over and above General Legal fees. Those other costs include Litigation and Municipal Court costs. Let me just add here, that the estimate from Mr. Wolf was only for General Legal Services, and did not include Litigation and Municipal Court costs. I say that so that we may continue to compare apples to apples. I dare say that it would take Merlin the Wizard to attempt to anticipate a budget to cover who's suing the City for what. The additional legal costs found in the City's expenditures are due to suits filed against the City. In the last three years the City of Round Rock has been sued several times. The nine largest suits in this time period amounted to a total of $18,978,728. The City of Round Rock, thanks mostly to Mr. Sheets, won seven of those suits, and settled the other two for a total of $9,000. Comparing $9,000 I April 11, 1991 to almost $19 million is quite a difference. The important point here to remember is that these additional, costs only occur because of suits against the City. And, since we seem to be on the winning side, then it would seem to me that -the City is conducting its business in a very proper manner. And let me add at this point in time too that as a result of the latest situation that we've had with the Attorney General, that at no , time has the City, an elected official or: staff ever misrepresented or defied an order -by', the State's AttorneyGeneral. The decisions made were based on previous, Attorney, General! opinions and/or current law now. The outcome of that may have.'changed. but the decisions were made based on what in fact, was opinion: and law at that time. No one was trying to defy anyone. Since then Mayor Robinson, our City Attorney Stephan Sheets has met with Attorney General Dan Morales. And the Attorney General has admitted that the way the last situation was handled, by way of letter from, I think, a Ms. Riggs, was, in fact, not the proper way to handle this and he assured us that this would not be the case in future situations. I challenge anyone to' bring to the City an attorney with 14 years of experience in municipal law and the same expertise that Mr. Sheets and his firm brings, ,to us, for a significant amount less than what we are paying for General Legal Services now. You might ask yourselfthe question, does Round Rock need an attorney with this experience and expertise and I say absolutely! I believe anything less than the expertise and dedication that Mr. Sheets brings would be a disservice to the taxpayers of Round Rock. Next item: Car Telephones: For the 12 months, January 1990 through December 1990, the City spent a total of $1,382.22 on Councilmember car telephones. If my math is correct this figures out to be about $115, per month. It should also be noted that not all- City Councilmembers usethe City phones. For instance, I own,my 'own car phone, and I do not use the network the City uses: I also know that Councilman Culpepper owns his own phone,and Councilman Correa. doesn't have a car phone, I believe that is correct. Another item; awl M April 11, 1991 It has been reported that the City Manager has the authority to approve expenditures up to $50,000, that is absolutely incorrect. The City Charter allows the City Manager to only approve expenditures up to $5,000. HEE has come up in some conversations. A statement has been -made that the City is spending $600 per month at HEB. The fact is that in the first 6 months of this fiscal year the City has spent $2,000 at HEB; that figures out to $333.33 and 1/3 per month. The reasons, for these expenditures include purchases for City jail supplies, Christmas Family Night, Animal Control, Trees for Round Rock Program, film processing for the Parks and Recreation Department, other slide presentations that we have here, and some for the Round Rock Police Department, and the other item wao reasons to me. Financial Statements: Again contrary to what's being said, the City Finance Department produces monthly line item financial statements in a very easily understood format. In fact, we just got orae this evening. These reports are made available monthly to each Councilmember, and; a copy is kept in the Library for t1J public's review. Now, what I ask of you, the citizens of Round Rock, is to please, and I can't emphasize enough, please take the time to bo sure you have all of the information, all the facts related to an issue before you decide to vote.

Linda Gunther, Personnel Manager, stated that drug testing was being looked,into. It has clot of legal, financial and ethical issues involved. It was recommended that the City first adopt the policy prior to drug testing. Councilman Joseph inquired if the City's insurance would cover employees needing help. Linda Gunther refered to the packet provided to the Council. She said if the policy is adopted all the employees would receive the same packet. The packet has an explanation of how the insurance would work with the alcohol and drug programs. Also there is a re I source page for other resources that are free of charge throughout Williamson County and in the Austin area.

J-F!�1-:Lst Readi4g) Joe Vining made the staff presentation. The boundary was adjusted to include all the properties that staff was able to discover at the tax office plus 75 feet of right-of-way that represents all the frontage road and a little extra right -of -way. These properties are in Travis County so their police protection will fall to the Travis County Sheriff's Department, I April 14.1, 1991 "Secondly, they are really in a void as far as fire protection, that's partially why our recommendation is in the form of this ordinance." This will take effect December 31 of this year. Vining told Council, "Chief Bizzell has contacted the Pflugerville Chief and he confirmed that there is no provision for Pflugerville to take care of their fire protection, eventhough, they have responded in the past on a reciprocal relationship with the City of Round Rock. There is no formal agreement. our recommendation is to disannex this 12 some odd acres of land." Councilman Stluka said, "going back to the situation on the fire. Does this not fall into one of the Travis County fire districts? Don't they have several rural fire districts?" Vining said the fire district falls short of the properties in question. Primarily because it would be a duplication of services. Mayor Pro -tem Culpepper,asked whose responsibility it is to notify Williamson County Sheriff, and any fire agency that they will no longer be protected by the City of Round Rock. Is it the homeowners? Vining said at this point it's unresolved; that is why the City sent certified letters to try to make those property owners understand exactly what their options were and asked if they understood their options. Councilman Joseph said the Travis County Sheriff's Department will always patrol that area because it's part of their area. Ti-. response to a question posed by=,�Councilman Joseph, Vining said, we have been called upon to work the accidents off the off ramp and on the frontage road. It is difficult for the City's fire and police to service that area. Councilman Joseph said the only question he,had ,,was the void where the Texaco station lies in the City. Vining said that area will be policed and if the Te: has a fire it will be put out. Councilwoman Oatman wanted clarification that the Council would "vote on this tonight but these folks will still have all the protection until December 31st." Vining said the taxes have already been levied and that's,,the basis for this recommendation. "If they have paid for the services, we owe them services for the rest of this year."

Consider an ordinance disanne ing 8.754 acres of land (Moore/ Brown) 1 ocat ed on the southside of Louis Henna Boulevard (County Road 170) . (First Reading) Joe Vining rade the staff presentation recommending disa prov l of this ordinance. Thane tracts all front directly ' on County Road 170. City services for rater and wastewater are across the street and the City has a. plan for providing water and wastewater services for these tracts. None of these property owners have ever requested formally water/wastewater services and it has been City April 11, 1991 policy for years that until somebody files a request and wants to go through the process no improvements will commence. Staff contacted two property owners Mr. Huff and Mr. Nieneker. Mr. Huff explained to Vining that they didn't want to stay in the City. Also Mr. Brown and Mr. Moore do not want to remain in the City. Vining said he felt the city had "fulfilled our obligation." Part of the rational for bringing this tract into the city 3 years ago was land use control Vining continued. Across the streetwehave 232 acres of land in the Boardwalk tract which represents a very large commercial tract in our City's future. It's no secret to anybody that we are betting that in the future that is going to represent a very stone commercial asset to our taxpayers. When we talk about land use control we arenot talking about just the tract that may be up for annexation or disannexation or zoning. We are talking about the land that is adjacent to that and how one tract may affect another tract so if we were to set some tracts 'free and allow them to do whatever they would like with their land unfettered by zoning regulations from our City they can have an adverse affect on surrounding land. Disannexation would establish a very bad precedent and that the Council would probably experience other requests of a similar nature that would have no ground under our law. Councilman Palmer asked the cost for putting sewer and water to those properties. use said at Greenlawn Boulevard there is a 16 inch waterline that is stubbed out on the westside of Greenlawn. The proposal would be to bore across the road and then provide service to the properties. The construction estimated cost of that is $10,500. on the wastewater side, there is an existing wastewater interceptor located in that area. One of the properties is on the crest of a hill so it would entail a lift station. What was proposed is to have a gravity, line to serve the tract and have a force main to pump it back. The estimated construction cost of that is $32,700. Total is $43,200 for water and wastewater to service these four pieces of property. It was clarified that the ordinance as proposed would disannex Brown and Moore only. Vining asked Council to consider the dilemma the fire and police will have if only 2 tracts are disannexed. N April 11., 1991 At this point Mayor Robinson arrived and apoligized for being Mayor Robinson read the caption of the ordinance.

Fuse clarified Councilman Palmer's question, from the previous meeting, that the Chipper was not a top loading machine but rather a side loading machine. Muse refered to the bid tabulation list. He said the low bid did not meet the specifications. Vermeer Sales submitted a bid for a Chipper Model 1250 which met all specifications at a cost of $18,345.00. In response to Councilman Palmer's question, Jim Hurley said the City will receive the 94 inch table. Hurley added, after viewing a demonstration between the Vermeer and Goldthwaites, the Vermeer appeared to be the safest machine. In response to Councilman Palmer's question Hurley said for the time being this machine is big enough for us, later on when the City grows we may need a larger machine. The parts are available in Austin and, , -Vermeer will service the equipment in Austin. Mayor Robinson read the resolution. I April 11, 1991 RESOLUTION NO.

Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayorto enter into an agreement for curbside recycling. Jim Nuse made the staff presentation. An agreement has been drawn up for a curbside recycling program. The program is not mandatory and the customer does not have to sort their recyclables. Two proposals were received for curbside recycling; one from Disabled Recyclers of Texas and one from Round Rock Refuse. Disabled Recyclers of Texas came in with best proposal. Nuse went over their proposal and the agreement. Nuse added this is a one year program. The Council can decide what direction they want to take after the year is up. They can either continue the program or discontinue it. If there are not 1500 subscribers within six months then the contractor can get out of the agreement-. Councilman Joseph suggested staff help them advertise on the Cable and in the water bill. Mayor,Plro-tem Culpepper asked Bert Whaley if they will start April 11., 1991 accepting plastic at the center since it states in the document they will pickup plastics. Mr. Whaley said yes. Steve Sheets said he received a call from the attorney for the Disabled Recyclers and he wanted to add a provision to the contract that would allow and state they have the right to subcontract the phase of sorting with Round Rock Recyclers. Sheets saw no problem with the amendment. Mayor Robinson asked if, the people that were doing the sorting get paid and if so how much. He expressed his concern with private vs. non-profit companies. Mr. Whaley said the organization is a general partnership, As a general partnership they are shareholders in the general partnership. They will receive the total value of the marketed recyclables. Mayor Robinson asked if the people doing the sorting will make a profit off the recyclable goods after expenses have been paid, Mr. Whaley said yes adding their books are completely open. Their books will also be made available to all the organizations who will be a part of the coalition they head up in Round Rock. In response to Mayor Robinson's question, Nuse said this agreement was not put out to bid. Staff asked Round Rock Refuse and Disabled Recyclers, who currently have existing agreements with the City, to submit a proposal,-. Mayor Robinson said the thought process to help these men and women is great but his concern is with administrative cost and how much these people will really be getting. He is also afraid the disabled people will be taken advantage of. Mr. Whaley assured Council this will not be the case with this organization. Mr. Whaley asked Mr. Sheets to add a clause to the contract that would give the City the right to audit the organization. In response to Mayor Pro -tem Culpepper's question, Mr. Whaley explained the billing process. Mayor Robinson recognized Jan Stalling. Mrs. Stalling said she used to be involved in the solid waste industry for 5 years and knows what the costs are. She expressed her concern on how these people are going to pay any type of labor, M April 11, 1991 taxes, fuel, and liability insurance by charging $2;00 a month per home for this service. She added it was not conceivable that they could possibly make a profit and felt this should have been put out to bid just like everything else. Another concern was of not knowing more details of their financial obligations and insurance requirements. She requested assurance that all the recyclable products will be recycled and not go to the landfill. Sheets noted the amendments to the agreement were t:*: subcontract the sorting and the right to audit and look at their books. He added there is a provision in the contract for trash to be taken to the landfill. Mayor Robinson read the resolution. 1=0 �� WHEREAS, the City of Round Rock desires to have curbside recycling, and WHEREAS, Disabled Recyclers of Texas, Inc. has submitted an agreement to provide said service, and WHEREAS, the City Council wishes to enter into said agreement with Disabled Recyclers of Texas, Inc., Now Therefore BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROUND ROCK, TEXAS, That the Mayor is hereby authorized and directed to execute on behalf of the City an agreement with Disabled Recyclers of Texas, Inc. for curbside recycling, a copy of said agreement being attached hereto and incorporated herein for all purposes.

April 11, 1991, Steve Sheets made the staff presentation. In June of 1986, the City and several owners of property located on the southeastern edge of the City entered into written agreements to construct water and wastewater system improvements in the area. The property owners put up several million dollars to be used for water and wastewater improvements. In exchange for bearing the majority of the costs of construction, the landowners received reserved capacity in the constucted improvements, expressed as living unit equivalents (LUE's). At the time the contract was entered into the property owners themselves provided the City with a property description. It has recently been discovered that one of the property owners provided the City with an incorrect property description. The owners of the two different pieces of property had a dispute which was resolved in court and did not involve the City of Round Rock but the dispute has been resolved and the error discovered. This resolution will correct the error so that utility capacity. Mayor Robinson read the resolution. RESOLUTION NO.

VOTE: .yes., Councilman Stluka Councilwoman Catma.n Councilman Palmer Mayor Pro -tem Culpepper Councilman Joseph I April 11, 1991 Mayor Robinson Noes: None ACITION: The motion carried unanimously. Councilman Stluka requested that a resolution "be drawn up" on redistricting and placed on the next agenda. This would be sent to the House Redistricting Committee. Mayor Pro --tem Culpepper added that, preceding his testimony before the Redistricting Committee, County Commissioner Boatright and Dorothy Jones both said basically the same thing Culpepper did, that we would like to see Williamson County as one district. Councilwoman Oatman said she had some questions and would like to discuss the Telemetry System. She said she "spoke to Mr. Robert -lumbeck and it seems �Iwe are having alot of trouble with ou_.7 Telemetry System." She said he told her that "it was marginal at best and that it was going to have to be totally replaced." She "finds this hard to believe." Councilwoman Oatman said, "we spent �450,000 on this and this man is telling me that we need to replace i t « 71 Nuse said he had received a letter from Dunbeck and asked Councilwoman Oatman if she had a copy of the letter. She said "no." She talked to the man but she did not have a letter,. She stated she was very distressed. Councilwoman Oatman added, she "thinks the man has good credentials" and believes Nuse called him in last summer. She added "this has been going on a long time and did we not just make the final payment on this?" Nuse said the final payment was made about a year ago. Nuse proceeded to explain the situation. He said the City experienced some communication problems during the warranty period this past year about a month or so after the acceptance period. Steve Miller-, project engineer, at Nuse's request offered information on some of the questions. Nuse informed Council Mr. Dumbeck was hired because he is an expert in the radio portion of telemetry and could inform staff why the City was receiving garbled messages. Nuse proceeded to explain April 11, 1991 the basic components to the telemetry system and their function. "Mr. Dumbeck isolated the problem to two points. one point was that a resistor had worn out in the interface box. When it was replaced communications immediately returned. The other point was he found out we were modulating outside our frequency. The radios were modified and put back on line." Nuse said he asked Mr. Dumbeck to give us a written report of his findings. As a result of his report it looks like it's down to the radios that are the problem. Councilwoman -Oatman, said she disagreed with muse because of what she had heard.__ -Nuse. said he.,was.going. by what Mr. Dumbeck's report said. He added the report specifically says that the Valment equipment is very good. It was discovered the radios have a deficency that is outside the specifications. Since we are still within the warranty period the contractor and bonding company were notified. Councilwoman Oatman said "to me this is a real sad situation. This is $450,000 for a lemon. We have al of of problems according to Mr. Dumbeck and it's not just the radios." Mayor Robinson asked Councilwoman Oatman if Mr. Dumbeck said the system was a lemon. Councilwoman Oatman said "no" it was her opinion of which she was entitled to. She added that Mr. Dumbeck feels that this system needs to be replaced," so there must be something really wrong." Councilwoman Oatman said, "tonight what I am calling for is a thorough investigation into this. I want to know a little bit more about it. I don't care if it takes the Attorney General. I don't care if it takes law enforcement. I don't care if it takes the FCC. That's what I want to see and that's what I'm calling for." In response to councilman Joseph's question Steve Miller said, at the present time we have a frequency that has been approved by the FCC and the radio equipment will accept this frequency to transmit back and forth." Miller added, "one of the problems we are having is basically we are in a very crowded band area and it's real easy to creep into somebody else's area. once you do you get skips and interference and that's probably the biggest problem right now." I April ILI, 1991 Councilman Stluka asked to TTuse to provide Council with a copy of the letter from Mr. Dumbeck. Councilman Joseph said the fire station in Chisholm Valley is coming up rapidly and looking good. He inquired if the City was planning a parade lfor the Desert Storm Troops, If so, Dorman Reed from the Legion would like to cooperate and help with this. Bennett said they are trying to coordinate it with Frontier Days and he would be happy to give Mr. Reed a call. EXECUTIVE SESSION: 16A.

He said a difference of opinion is healthy and a democratic form of government which the City has in it's history. "Many issues have been decided by split votes and divided opinionsi" Bost said there has been a...spirit of ongoiDg mutual .1 respect and he feels the citizens of Round Rock want that to continue. "The can do spirit that's exhibited, the sense of progress, sense of teamwork is all for the benefit of the citizens Of Round Rock."

He added, "this is the spirit that democracy is all about. To try to penalize an individual for urging the voters, to be informed, and have thoughtful participation in voting, is beyond my comprehension." Pat Patterson, 1803 Lime Rock, Director of the Volunteer Center, informed the Council that April 20-27, 1991 is Volunteer Week. She added many things have been done in the past and volunteerism has many coats that people wear. Patterson thanked the Council for all their volunteer, hours they spend on City business.

RESOLUTIONS: 9A. Consider a resolution authorizinqt-4__Keno rpt ion of the Williamson 4 L p Cgupty LAkpZaiq I iqtrict.. David Kautz introduced Dick Shackelford, member of the Appraisal 'District Board of Directors, who made a brief presentation. Mr. Shackelford stated that the Round Rock City Council previously voted in favor of the renovation for the existing Appraisal District office building. The renovation would consist of building a shell over the existing building. State law requires that any appraisal district building structure changes need approval by 3/4 of the taxing entities which the Appraisal District serves. However, most taxing entities in the County failed to vote either way, they did not respond, causing the Round Rock action to lapse and the renovation project to be put on hold. Shackelford said the Appraisal District needs approximately $230,000 for this project, The building project is approximately $180,000 to put a shell over the existing building. The balance of the money would be used to retire the debt service of the existing building which is approximately $166,000. There will be no additional cost to the taxing entities. The City of Round Rock refund from the Appraisal District Budget is $13,305. The Appraisal District requested that the City return $10,442 for the project. Shackelford briefly explained the reason for the renovation and M Shackelford informed Council they know of the problem that if a collapse of the structure occurred and there were casualties, they would be liable along with all the taxing entities because the Appraisal District is an extension of those entities® Mayor Robinson inquired if the Appraisal District considered looking for a whole new building. &W April 25, 1991 Shackelford said they have looked with the help of real estate agents but the building they located would require additions to comply with federal laws. Because of the additional costs, the shell is the most economical way to solve the problem. He added, at a meeting held in December with over 1/2 of the entities represented, the Board was told to, "Fix it, fix it right with the least cost to them." Mayor Robinson read the following resolution. RESOLUTION NO. WHEREAS, the Texas Property Tax Code, Section 6.051, effective January 1, 1988, permits the acquisition, conveyance, construction or renovation of a building or other improvements by an Appraisal District, and it requires the approval by the voting taxing units of such acquisition, conveyance, construction or renovation by the Appraisal District, and WHEREAS, after notice from the Chief Appraiser concerning the particulars of the project proposed by the Appraisal District it appears that such project is in the best interest of the Appraisal District and the taxing units, Now Therefore BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROUND ROCK, TEXAS, That on the date shown below the City Council of the City of Round Rock has voted to approve the project proposed by the Appraisal District concerning the following described real property by Williamson County Appraisal District: Glasscock Addition, Block 6, Lot 1, 2, 5, 6, 7 & 8, W PT LTS 3 & 4, Acres 1.150 By this approval, the taxing unit evidences its approval of such renovation in all respects.

The telecommunication sales tax, if implemented, would be: required by law to partially reduce property taxes in the amount of revenue generated by the 1/2 percent and the revenue associated with that." Staff recommended the implementation. In response to Councilman Joseph's question, Kautz said the: telecommunication *long-distance telephone calls within Texas *telegraph service *'basic local exchange service *call waiting *call forwarding *paging services *coin-operated telephone service *mobile telephone service *facsimile (FAX) service *equipment which is sold or rented to the customer *installation and: service connection fees *other enhanced services Non-taxable services and charges are: *telecommunications services purchased for resale *calls that originate outside Texas *telegraph service that originates outside Texas I I M -10 -F -M Kautz made the staff presentation. I Round Rock Refuse requested a rate increase of $1.13 per month Kautz went over the following: Revenue to RR Refuse Revenue to City Sub -total Tax Total Current kLgposed j $5.55 $6.68 $1.32 $1.59 $6.87 $8.27 $ .53 $ .64 $7 . 40 $8.91 (all figures reflect the monthly cost to a residential service customer) Mayor Robinson stated he met with Round Rock Refuse and they agreed to a $1.00 a month discount for senior citizens. They also agreed not to have any more Monday holidays unless Christmas falls on a Monday. Also, if the new $.33 surcharge has to be imposed, Round Rock Refuse should not have to absorb that cost. It would be passed on to the citizens. Mayor Pro -tem Culpepper stated that State Representative Robert Saunders, Chairman of the Environmental Subcommittee House of Representatives, spoke at CARCO and stated there was a misunderstanding in the language of the law. The surcharge was for volume and not tonnage. it pertained to persons who carry garbage to the landfill. It was not supposed to impact the solid waste haulers. The law was not written clearly. They are hoping Attorney General Morales would render an opinion on the wording. If the law is repealed they would eliminate the tax. Rock Ref use, ref erred to the docum ent he provided f or the Counci I - 126 18 September 12, 1991 He noted they have met with staff to solve the concerns on the figures and that the garbage service was purely in -City. He pointed out recent developments that would effect them. Those are the $.05 a gallon fuel increase and the state landfill tax increase. If the tax is imposed the cost to the citizens for garbage service would be $8.60 prior to the sales tax., The cost for senior citizens would be $7.60 prior to sales tax. Mayor Pro -tem Culpepper added his concern of not including Thanksgiving and New Year's Day in the amendment. He added the City should notify the citizens through a mail brochure on what holidays garbage would or would not be picked up. Staff clarified if the $.33 tax was in error the citizens would receive a rebate. Fn response to Councilman Joseph's question, Kautz said he — would check with the programmers to see if the tax could be placed on a separate line on the bill. Mayor Robinson noted if the Council chose to amend the garbage contract it would need to be tabled to allow the City Attorney to provide a new ordinance. Mayor Robinson opened the public hearing. Mary Lee Harris of Egger Acres spoke against the garbage rate increase. She added she would like to see competitive bidding for the garbage service. She inquired if recycling was included in the negotiations. Mayor Robinson informed Ms. Harris this was not a new contract, only amendments to the existing contract. The City would have to wait 2 years before they could re -bid the garbage service contract, unless they terminate the contract. There being no further testimony, the public hearing was closed. 8E. Consider Public testimony concerning a tax rate increase,, David Kautz made the staff presentation. "The Budget, as presented to the Council requires a tax rate of r .62479/100. This figure is 2.8 cents above the effective tax rate," Using a visual aid, Kautz gave a comparison of effective and adopted tax rates. He added part of the tax rate is due to the decline in the certified tax roll and the remainder is for staffing the Chisholm Valley Fire 01M EAMNFI__� M Station, to hire a 911 dispatcher, and salary adjustment for certain city employees to bring them up to the 50th percentile. The total revenue that would be generated with the tax increase is $210,000. Mayor Robinson opened the public hearing. Elda Williams, 1711 Cushing Drive, spoke against the tax rate increase. She asked the Council to look where taxes could be cut rather than adding anya John Gordon, 1007 Green Meadow, asked that the Council try tE hold the tax increase as low as possible. He also asked to see how the apparent tax rate was calculated. Kautz said he did not have the 11-12 page document with him that the Tax Assessor/Collector provided but could obtain it from his office if the Council desired. 8C. Consider public testimony concerning the Proposed 19911992 Budget for the City of Round Rock. David Kautz made the staff presentation. He offered a brief summary of the proposed 1991-1992 budget noting the General Fund's total revenues decreased by $603,000 and Total Expenditures increased by $365,800. Kautz offered the following breakdown: Property Tax Rate - Increase 2.8 cents above the effective rate Sales Tax - Estimated growth at 4 to 5 percent Municipal Court Fines and Costs - Estimated growth reflects legislative changes in fees Telecommunications Sales Tax (3/4 year) Transfer from Utility Fund (increase) To repay General Fund All Other TOTAL Chisholm Valley Fire Station 911 Dispatcher Salary Increase @ Mid -year (Equivalent to 4%) $210,000 119,000 45,000 57,000 100,000 72,000 NNERME $(150,000) (18,000) (100,000) September 12,'1991 Power & Light; Computer Maintenance Agreements; Tax District Pro Rata Budget, Repairs/Maintenance Vehicles; Animal Control; Other Costs associated with 16 other departments (98,000) TOTAL (366,000) He briefly noted the Utility Fund Total Revenue increased $395,300 and Total Expenditures decreased $339,400. In response to Councilwoman Oatman's question, Kautz clarified the employee's 4% raise would _occur at mid -year, ,presently staff is proposing to bring the market rate up for the staff that need it. Mayor Robinson opened the public hearing. John Gordon, 1007 Green Meadow, briefly reviewed the budget. He said it "looks like a fairly tight budget" but he offered recommendations staff should consider 1. Travel/Training Budgets. Gordon recommended a $15,000 cut. To maximize the dollars on travel do the training a close to home as possible. "Maybe }cringing experts her, would sometimes be cheaper." . Law Books - Cut down to one set either in the Library or City Hall would save $1,700. . Dues/ Subscriptions - Out $2,300. Be sensitive to the fact that other people outside of City government have to fund their own professional dues. 4. General Services- Account no. 10-19-5274 cut back $9;000. He suggested staff speak to the 'Tax District and recommend only a 5-6% increase. They should be able to cut back also. . Chamber of Commerce - $25,000 cut. "The most critical selling aspect of a community is a well managed community not a tremendous promotion effort. If the City tries to hold the tax increase as low as possible that is one of best selling points we can make." 6. Police Department - Hold weapons qualification at $6,000 and move $1,000 to Neighborhood Watch raking it $1,900. 7. Capital Outlay - increase by $1.5,000 in Police Department,, 8. Contingency account in the Fire Department - Account no., WA September 12, 1991 10-22-5458 cut $4,000 to hold at $10,000. t. Parks - The budget reflects 5 seasonal employees at $79,000. Last year the seasonal hire was $43,000. He recommended a budget of $60,000. 10. Power & Light - Across the board all the departments remained the same. The Parks Department (Account no. 10- 23-5214) had an increase of $4,900. He suggested their budget remain at $60,000. 11. Concerning expenses associated with activities in the community he suggested a constant review of the fee structure to make sure all expenses are covered since the custodial fees have risen. 12. concerning a Purchasing Department/Agent, he suggested a written procedure regarding purchasing instead of the creation of a department. "Since there is some knowledge of mis-spending on purchases, a person from the Finance Department could serve as a purchasing agent since there has been an increase of personnel in that department. This would reduce the budget by $70,000. Gordon pointed out his recommendations saved the City $136,000 and this includes an increase of $15,000 in Capital Outlay for the Police Department. He recommended that staff look at these areas to help cut costs and hold the tax increase down. There being no further testimony, the public hearing was closed. 8D.

The City of Round Rock's Subdivision ordinance requires that a developer/subdivider dive the City fiscal assurance that the streets and utilities in the _subdivision are being built by City standards. If anything goes wrong the fiscal assurance insures that funds will be available for the City to take care of the streets and utilities. In this case the School District has bond convenan.ts can funds that were approved by the waters. This does not include providing the City with fiscal assurance. This ordinance will waive the fiscal requirements of the Round Rock. ISD for the construction of reads and utilities required to serve the new Gattis Elementary presently under construction. The Round Rock ISD has included the road and utility, construction in their contract for the school. Mayor Robinson expressed his concern of the School District: not meeting their deadline and asking the City to open the school early. Then it would look like it was the City's fault the school cannot open. He expressed the ,need of a written policy which would include the City at the beginning of the negotiations and the City could be named on the contract for the fiscal assurance.

Status: mayor Pro -tem Culpepper noted. the Council and the School District have had a joint meeting to help establish and open lane of communications. They will try to continue those meeting on a regular basis. The Council noted an inter -agency committee could be established to discuss curfews, closed campus, and any other concerns that come up. A Drug Task Force° representative will be invited to the next joint meeting to address the drug issues. 2) A Youth Center should be established which would be accessible to young people at no cost and would offer a full-time staff of counselors and various activities; staff of the Youth, Center should apply for grants for training and programs for librarians, day -case workers, youth ministers, teachers, volunteers and any other interested parties. Status: Through the generous efforts of the Round. Rock Rotary Club and the YMCA this recommendation has become reality. 3) The city and/or school should identify and promote or 239 September 18, 1991 publicize a hotline number that youth and others could call for help with alcohol and drug-related problems. Status: It was noted that the high school has hired a new drug abuse prevention coordinator, Janet Schone. Help is received from Charter Lane Hospital, CPC has 24 hour services, and the Pebble Project. A national hotline number is posted at the high school. It was suggested that a crisis number needed to be posted at various locations throughout the City for the youths who do not attend school. The high school has various help groups which are handled by other youths. They are Kids at Risk, ROCK, and Dragon, Inc. Staff noted this recommendation will be given more review along with meeting with local merchants for their help. 4) The city should seek law enforcement grants to conduct additional programs aimed at improving the drug and alcohol problems in the city. Status: A grant has been obtained by the City for a (GRIP) officer to work on the gang problem. This will be a full time officer responsible for gang and drug related problems and will not have patrol duty. Also the City has applied for a Federal grant to help with future funding of this position. The City will continue to apply diligently for any grants relating to drugs, alcohol and gangs. 5) The city's police department should work with the schools to make students aware of the consequences of drugs and drug-related crimes. Status: The City <has several continuing programs to keep students aware of the consequences of using drugs and drug related crimes. The programs currently implemented are DARE, cGruff, Life Skills and a high school resource officer. Students from the high school formed STAND (Students Tolerating Absolutely No Drugs). To become a member the student agrees to take a drug test and is tested regularly. The school gave their full support to this group, but the community needs to become more aware of these youths. Ken Anderson, Williamson County District Attorney, has bumper stickers which state "Do Drugs, Do the Time." It was suggested these bumper stickers be placed on City patrol cars. 6) The city should recognize effective citizen efforts to 4 combat drug abuse by awarding a "Super Citizen" award when indicated. Status Staff is still working on a criteria for such an award 7) The city should release the names of these convicted of drug-related crime in a local newspaper, inc:luding : the weekly "Neighborhood" section of the Austin American Statesman. Status: All of the names of individuals convicted of drug related crimes are public record. These offenders names are placed on the bulletin board at the Police Department for all news media.

It was suggested all Chamber Board members receive a copy of the report and not just the Chamber President. 9') The city should consider an ordinance that would make it illegal for building owners to allow graffiti to stay on buildings longer than a 24 hour. period. Status: Even though there is no ordinance addressing this issue, graffiti is cleaned up as soon as possible after it is found. Some of the local businesses are very responsive in removing the graffiti. Chief Wolff stated the businesses should not be held responsible for removing graffiti. it was suggested that persons needing to do community service or from juvenile court could clean -the graffiti off of buildings. The paint could be funded by the drug money that the City receives. For investigation purposes, photographs of all graffiti are. Taken prior to removal. It was suggested that Chief Wolff 'visit with the Austin Police Department to see how their Clean-up day went'. 10) The City should find cams to deal with delinquent gang members. Status; The new full-time gang officer will be funded as of October 1, 1991.

Chief Wolff MMUMORM. • see Vow success f ul--Utis —i s in ot obtain copies of the curfew ordinances. This will be a work session item in October or November. 13) The city should strengthen its policing of the sale of alcohol to underage persons. Status: This situation is constantly monitored by the City's Police Department as well as the Texas Alcohol and Beverage Control Officers. A recent under cover operation revealed that it is rare for a business to sell alcohol to a minor. It is more likely the minor has talked someone over 21 into making the actual purchase. It was suggested that businesses need to check an ID better since there are some youths that have fake ID's. Chief Wolff was asked if anything could be done about flea markets selling fake ID's. He said the Police Department has been working with DPS to try to solve this problem. 14) The city should explore the feasibility of benefits of administering Mortimer-Filkins tests on the first arrest rather Status: The Mortimer-Filkins test is administered by the County, on all DWI arrests. This is an assessment test that detects if someone is an alcoholic. The Round Rock City Police turn all DWI's over to the County. 15) The city should provide for continuing education courseE for its law enforcement personnel. Status: Continuing education is a very important issue in the Police Department. In order to remain certified a police officer must obtain 20 hours of continuing education every year. Chief Wolff noted after the last legislative session personnel September 1, 1991 would need to attend more classes since many of the laws changed. He added the City of Leander does not have a DARE officer, so the City ,of Round Rock's DARE officer will be providing DARE education services to the children of Leander. 16) The city should consider establishment of a Worker Assistance Program, similar to "Workers assistance Program of Texas" to conduct pre-employment screening of prospective employees. The city should consider using urinalysis to detect possible substance abuse, the screening of existing employees if there is lust cause and to provide employees a place to go if the; are experiencing difficulties in their lures that involve or could lead to substance abuse. The city should also explore enforcement options for persons found to be using illicit substances. Status: The City is a "Drug Free" workplace which is an on- going program for all City empl-oyees. In addition, Police officer must have a. physical exam, psychological test and a drug test prior: to employment .t the present gime other employees of the City do not require a drug test. Members of the Drug Task Force suggested that a drug test be used for ,pre-employment screening.Staff pointed out there are numerous issues that need to be addressed before something like that could be implemented but will see how random drug testing is going in other cities. 17)' The Pound Rock Chamber of Commerce or other organizations could encourage local businesses establishments to post signs indicating their establishment is a drug-free zone. Status: Staff will visit with the Chamber on, this issue. The Public Safety and Better Business and Trade Committees of the Chamber could organize this, effort. 1 ) Crimestopper telephone numbers could be posted in businesses throughout the City. Status: This idea has been passed along to the Crime Stopper Board of Directors. 1.9) Citizens could obtain a list of items or equipment that the police department may require for its specially trained. "drug dogs" or other law enforcement activities and conduct fund raising activities for these items. Status: Sgt. Lee is always available to visit with any group mm September 18, 1991 or individual about the K-9 program and its needs. Members of the Drug Task Force suggested the K-9 dogs be allowed to go through the schools. Chief Wolff noted the School Board would need to give their approval before they can enter the school buildings. This item could be addressed by the inter -agency committee. 20) Civic organizations could sponsor a "Clean Up Graffiti in Round Rock Day". Status: The Police Department feels that the current method of dealing with the graffiti has worked very well. The graffiti should be removed as soon as practically possible. To advertise a clean-up day could possibly encourage more graffiti to appear. 21) Citizens should recognize the need for education on the identification of drug abuse, the prevention and treatment of drug abuse and other related topics in every available forum possible. Presentations to PTA groups, adult church groups, youth groups or any other organization where youth or parents participate. The task force supports specialized education efforts, on topics such as the effects of alcohol or certain drugs on the fetus, and other at -risk groups. Status: The Police Department has several presentations they are willing to make and have done so, one suggestion was to contact the area PTA's to remind them what programs are available. 22) Citizens or business groups should establish designated driver programs for those 21 or over. Status: It was noted some businesses will pay for a cab if a customer has had too much to drink. Some taxi cabs will even take an intoxicated person home for free. Staff is to look into the possibility of reimplementing the Christmas Dial -A -Ride Program. 23) Businesses serving or selling alcohol should voluntarily post information on site regarding the effects and risks of alcohol and other businesses should also post information to improve awareness and prevent the illegal use of substances. This will be passed on to the Chamber for their assistance in working with the business. Status: At the present time there is no State law that requires businesses to post information for improving awareness and 244 September '1, 1991 prevention of illegal use of substances.

Concerning the 4% across the board raise for,all employees a TQM team consisting of two employees from each department came up with a different approach after the budget was submitted.

Consider an ordinance ado-ptinci the Proposed 1991-1992 Budqet for the City of Round Rock. (Second Reading)_ 254 September 26, 1991 Councilwoman Oa.tman read the following statement: "I cannot support this tax increase tonight or this budget. The staff has chosen to justify spending rather than cutting. How can each of you as Councilmembers put spending $75,000 to the Chamber. of Commerce and $70,000 to save $20,000 for a purchasing agent ahead of a salary increase for our employees! The . employees o this City deserve better. The taxpayers of Round Rock have felt the pinch over and over. They have had to make do_. They; put off buying needed items in order to tighten their belts. Should they expect less from each of us? I, thank not: I propose we make these difficult cuts, tighten our belts and held the tax rate to .5967 which is the effective tax rat." Councilman Palmer made the following statement "I really am opposed to the tax increase because it has been indicated to me that we need .to put that in there so that next year when it cores to the effective tax rate it will be higher. I personally feel, with the incomes that we have received over the last few weeks from these lawsuits that this $210,000 could be taken from that and replace the 2.8 cents. I am not apposed to w what we are spending in the budget.: The budget is right. I feel like we should take that 2.8 cents off there and try to balance it a little better with some of this other money.. It:seems to rye when you have some money, they say we are suppose to get.it by the end of the month., that it needs to either take care of our debts rather than going out and looking for something else to spend it on."' :payor zero -teen Culpepper made the following statement: "I just want to say Councilwoman Gutman needs to look and see: that out of our $8.5 million we are voting on, property taxes make up a little over 25% of that. It's a much more complex thine we are dealing with than just saying I don't want to raise taxes. No one wants, to raise taxes and everyone wants our City employees to get a raise and to mars the new fire station. The money that was transferred to the Chamber of Commerce is not something new. We felt like the Chamber of Commerce does a better job of economic development than the City does. That's their mission. So to sit up here and make comments lake hers without going in depth is almost a flagrant miscarriage of your responsibilities just to 5IRM ARM make statements without backing them up. It's a tough budgetbta we have a certain amount of City services here and our citizens request them and that's what this budget provides for." Mayor Robinson asked Steve Sheets if he was absolutely 100% sure that we would be getting the insurance settlement money. Sheets said he can't say it's 100%. "At this time we have an offer that's on the table that we assume the Council will consider favorably tonight but as we all know even though we agree sometimes to settle sometimes the other party backs out at the last minute. We had that one time with Mr. Albee as you recall." Mayor Pro -tem Culpepper said we have to pass a bu&�� September 30th and we don't have the money in hand. Mayor Robinson said that is the point he was getting to. "We have two Councilmembers who have had plenty of opportunity to give input during this whole session and we have not gotten any and tonight to say things have changed. Councilman Palmer's thing is based on two hundred thousand something dollars that we do not have. And I don't know how you can ask elected officials to adopt a budget tonight betting that we will have two hundred plus thousands of dollars in the future." Councilman Palmer said he felt staff "already had the money spent. " the money, would be spent. Bennett said, "What I did was reiterate to the paper what the goals were. I made it clear in the article that the cash was unrestricted and would be spent as the Council saw fit and the money is not spent. On the contrary we are trying to do everything we can to keep that principal together." Councilwoman Oatman said, "I voted yes last time because I had hoped, or at least we were told, staff was going to address, which they have addressed, the concerns that were brought to the Council. And I am not saying they were not addressed. What I said was justified spending rather than cutting. If I had felt like that we had cut some, I could have felt much better about it but we were told last meeting that we would see so I think it's only normal after you see you study it that you have maybe a September 26, 1991 different opinion." Councilman. Stluka arrived during this Portion of the meeting. .Mayor Robinson said, "I think the staff did a good job in justifying why the :coney was in the budget. And because they justified it ;and didn't cut it is no reason to change my vote." Councilman S luka apologized for being late and he commended staff on the job they did do in addressing Mr. Gordon', questions and concerns.

Consider,a resolution statin q the City Council's Position on the creation of certain taxinq districts in Round Rock's ETJ. September 26, 1991 ,Toe Vining made the staff presentation. The City was approached by Pflugerville officials concerning the possibility of creating an ESD (Emergency Services District) in the City of Round. Rock's ET (Extra territorial jurisdiction). An ETJ exchange that occurred i.r 1986 with. the City of Austin: brought a small amount of land (approximately, 34.69 acres) south of Gattis School,, Road, into Round Rock's ETA`. Permission must be received from any City _that has ETT in a proposed ESD before the district is established. These districts must levy a tax to finance any debt. The obligation to pay this tax would remain with the ,property, even after annexation by the City. Thus the property would be "double taxed" for certain emergency services. Staff recommended that permission not b, granted to include any land in Round. Rock's ETJ in another taxing district.. The possibility of another tax burden on the land could have a negative impact on future development especially since the band is expected to be annexed. in the future. Mayor Robinson read the following resol..ution. RESOLUTION NO. m WHEREAS, the Texas Legislature has provided that certain taxing districts may be created such as Rural Fire Prevention Districts and Emergency Services Districts, and WHEREAS, these distracts ;may incur debt and,tax the propert- y owners of said districts for emergency services, and WHEREAS, the property owners of said: districts would remain liable for such debt even after annexation by the City, Now Therefor E IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL ' OF THE CITY OF ROUND ROCK, TEXAS, The City Council of the City of Round Rock is opposed to the creation of additional taxing districts for emergency services in its Extraterritorial Jurisdiction..

During the period, from May 16, 1991, until August 31., 1991, 15 felony and Class A and Class B misdemeanor warrants were issued by the Court. Beginning September 1, 1.991, new legislation became effective which substantially changed the amount of court costa required to be assessed by the Court against all persons who are found guilty of violations of the Texas Traffic Code, Round Rock City Ordinance, Texas Alcoholic Beverage Control, Act, and the Texas Penal. Code.

A good seal coating program would allow that every street receive a seal coat once every 7 years. This amounts to budgeting in the Street Department for that purpose. At the present time, funds are not available. Three projects being proposed, are: 1) Sealcoat of collector streets in the area north of> Highway 79 and east of North Mays at an estimated cost of $105,000. 2) A street maintenance project has been developed for Gattis School Road from South Creek Drive to County Road 122. This project involves more than seal coating, some structural rehabilitation is needed prior to seal coating. The estimated cost is $129,000. 3) A similar project is being developed for Chisholm Trail from Sam Bass Road to FM 3406. Strengthening of the existing section and widening is also needed. The preliminary estimated cost for this work is $110,000. Mayor Robinson asked if staff had considered using a recycling 4wx October 10, 1.901 asphalt procedure. The City could share cities.
