ACTION: The motion Carried unanimously.
Larry Pratt, 1906 Greyson, expressed his objection to the
antennas Cablemaxx has been installing throughout the City of Round
Rock. He said, "the antennas are ugly', degrade my property value
and are hazardous." He added, "Cablemaxx is not paying sales tax
or a franchise fee and does not have ''a solicitors license." He
asked who would be liable for any damage done if an antenna fell.
,Mayor Robinson informed Pratt that City staff was working with
Cablemaxx to work out various concerns'. He added the City Council
cannot regulate"ugly."
In response to Mr. Pratt's concerns, Steve Sheets said the FCC
has regulations that state a City can not adopt an ordinance or
resolution which favors one type of communication system over
another. He noted a franchise fee is paid for the right to use a
public utility easement and Cablemaxx is not using any public
,utility easements. Sheets said, "Cablemaxx will need to acquire a
solicitors license if they go door to door selling their services."
The owner of the property would be liable for any damage done by an
antenna erected on his property.
Councilman Stluka said the City can not "legislate choice"
but the aspects of economic impact and safety should be persevered.
Councilman Joseph noted Cablemaxx 'does not carry the City's
government channel nor has access to the City's emergency system.
PROCLAMATIONS: None
SPECIAL RECOGNITION:
6A. Consider recognition of Consolidated Metal Finishing.
Jim Nuse introduced Kim Lutz the City's Pre-treatment
Coordinator. Referring to a memo from Ms. Lutz, Nuse stated,
"Consolidated Metal Finishing, Inc. has made recent improvements of
their pretreatment units which have 'greatly reduced their waste
disposal. A water polisher was installed. in September which allows
2
October 22, 1991
them to recycle their effluent back into their process. This has
reduced their water consumption by 40%. A sludge dryer was added
in early 1990. This piece of equipment uses steam to dry sludge
from the filter press and has reduced their solid waste disposal by
80%. Consolidated Metal Finishing, Inc. should be recognized for
outstanding achievements in waste minimization. The improvements
made were not mandated by any government entity, showing that
Consolidated Metal is concerned with conserving our natural
resources."
mayor Robinson presented a Certificate of Recognition to
Consolidated Metal Finishing, Inc. for active and cooperative
participation in the City of Round Rock's Pretreatment Program.
Christi Miller of Consolidated Metal was present to accept the
certificate and thanked the Council for the recognition.
PRESENTATIONS:
7A. Consider a Presentation by the Environmental Task Force.
Lial Tischler, Chairman of the Environmental Task Force, noted
the Council had previously received the Environmental Task Force
report. Chairpersons from each subcommittee were present to briefly
describe their findings.
Marvin Reavis, Chairman of the Water and Wastewater
Subcommittee, stated his subcommittee concluded that Round Rock
should develop proactive programs in four principal categories of
water management: wastewater as a resource; water conservation;
surface water protection; and ground water protection. Mr. Reavis
outlined each of the four issues.
Hubert Ashley, Chairman of the Waste Subcommittee, stated
their subcommittee recommended the following categories: waste
characterization; recycling and resource conservation; waste
minimization; and waste management and general programs. He added
the subcommittee believes that education of the public is the key
factor influencing the success of any waste management option,
particularly including recycling and reuse.
Bo Spencer, Chairman of the Energy Subcommittee, recommended
October 22, 1991
that the city could set an example for the community by purchasing
recycled materials whenever it is economically anct tecnnicaily
practical. This would include such items as stationary,
lubricating oils, and similar commodities that the City uses in
large amounts. The City should also initiate recycling and waste
minimization programs in all of it's offices for paper, glass, and
metals to demonstrate to the community it's commitment in these
areas. He added the subcommittee agreed that three primary needs
are: adoption of a formal energy ordinance; establishment of an on-
going energy audit program; and implementation of incentive
program.
Sandra Kinn-Burks, Chairman of the Education Subcommittee,
identified three broad categories. Those are: public relations -
issues' which encourage community involvement; information
activities - issues that provide useful environmental information
to the community; and education - issues that provide assistance to
teachers and stimulate interest among students. Four key public
relation activities that were identified are: a logo contest; the
"Beat the Peak" water conservation campaign; the "Beat the Peak"
energy conservation campaign; and quarterly environmental seminars.
six key information activities that were identified are: a
centralized resource center; an environmental hotline; quarterly
environmental seminars; a list of field trip sites; labeling of
consumer goods; and providing the community with research on past
environmental behavior of an industry. She added, "the library
should be used as a centralized environmental resource center. It
can also be used for an environmental hot line and can be staffed
by volunteers."
Tischler pointed out Diana Kocurek was responsible for putting
all the subcommittee reports into one document. He added the Task
Force would like to have a joint city Council / Environmental Task
Force meeting sometime in January to discuss the report in detail
and to answer any questions the Council might have.
Mayor Robinson thanked the Environmental Task Force for all
October 22, 1991
the hard work they did and added "this is not the end, it's the
beginning."
74. Consider a -oresentation concerning Hotel/Motel Tax money

Jon Sloan, President-elect of the Chamber of Commerce, and
Ellen Spinn, Vice -President of the Chamber of Commerce, made a
presentation concerning the progress the Chamber has made over the
past year and the tourism plans for the future.
Jon Sloan, representing the Chamber of Commerce, stated he
wanted to convey to the Council the importance that the Chamber has
placed on tourism efforts. He added, "tourism is a significant
economic benefit not only for the Chamber members but for everyone
in Round Rock and also the City." The Chamber has committed to
expand their efforts in the promotion of tourism and to raise that
effort to the same level of importance that has been placed in the
past on economic development.They have committed to organize a
strong tourism committee that has both community leaders as well as
City staff and interested citizens of the community on the
committee. The Chamber wants tourism to platy a significant part in
the community.
Ellen Spinn's presentation consisted of an explanat ()iiof the
Chamber's accomplishments, goals/priorities and recommended budget.
Mayor Robinson expressed his concern that he has heard "Round
Rock is the best kept secret in Texas." He stated, "some type of
regrouping and work needs to be done to change that." He would
like the Chamber to take advantage of any type of advertisement
whenever possible. The Saturday morning edition of the Austin
American Statesman has a place where activities of towns in Central
Texas are listed.
7C Consider a presentation concern ng the williamsgn Qqunt
Humane Society.
Jim Nuse introduced Dr. Jane Mahlow. She updated the Council
on the current agreement with the Humane Society, future pound
services and information on nuisance cats.
Dr. Mahl ow said the Humane Society would be able to move into
the new facility in early 1992 providing Council approves the
N
pending proposed zoning request. , After reviewing the agreement
with Jim Huse, Marion Hasting, and the animal control
officers she found that the animal control in the City could be
upgraded without any added expense. She stated, "currently cats
outnumber the dogs in the City of Round Rock." Since Round Rock
does not have any regulations on cats she found some language that
could work when a situation occurred and the ordinance does not
mandate picking up every stray cat. The language Dr. Mahlow was
referring to was from Section 4.2. of the Hays County regulations.
"Although cats shallbe exqmpt, -from, the leash requirement, any cat
straying on the property ,,of anyone except its owner shall be deemed
a Public nuisance and,can be subject to imp.oundment." Dr. Mahlow
asked Council to upgrade the City's animal control ordinance by
adding a provision.,concerning cats.. -
In response to Councilman Palmer's question this ordinance
would mainly be enforced with the citizens cooperation.
Bennett asked Dr. Mahlow to visit with him concerning the
legislation from Hays County.
7.D. Consider a presentation concerning _the -auK-qhast of a new
police
police station., and the move of the Public -Horks and --E?arkgL
Departments. Bob Bennett made the staff presentation. He brought
the Council up to date on the purchase of a new police station and
the possible moves of the Public Works and Parks Departments.
Ray Gill had been working on the expansion of the Police
Department. Gill brought to the City's attention an opportunity to
acquire the Heritage Woods on US79 which is an eight acre tract
with three buildings totalling 30,000 square feet. Bennett said,
staff's intention, with the Council's approval, is to move the
Police Department to the Heritage Woods. The administration
portion of Public Works would move to the current Police Department
and Parks and Recreation would move to the old Public Works
building."
David Kautz explained the financial portion of the purchase of
Heritage Woods.
Bob Bennett noted that in purchasing Heritage Woods the City
will benefit by relocating several departments for the same cost.
Ma I yor Robinson questioned whether the funds for the purchase
would come from the $1.9 million dollar settlement.
Mayor Pro -tem Culpepper pointed out that the purchase of
Heritage Woods would be a revenue stream.
Ray Gill outlined the specifics of the property and the
proposed Police expansion.
PUBLI9 -HEARINGS.*
8A. Consider Rublic..testimony conce.rning the zonin of 2.45
acres of land (Bryan%L, Zird)..._to P.P.D. No. 5 (Planned Unit
Development No. 5).. Joe Vining made the staff presentation.
This P.U.D. will rezone 2.45 acres and an access easement to a
planned unit development designation to allow the operation of an
organic greenhouse on this site. The P.U.D. strictly limits the
use, traffic volumes, size of, service vehicle and, provides for
fencing and buffers. The proposed use is a low intensity
agricultural /commercial use whichwillgenerate a small fraction of
the traffic which would result from single family homes on this
site and is considered an excellent buffer between the existing
residential uses and the railway.

caused for the surrounding residents, possible drainage prob ems,
and necessary fencing for the�property.

the establishment of the Williamson qgAnty Humane gjjocie�t imal
Shelter. Joe Vining made the staff presentation. This parcel was
included in an annexation that occurred in late 1977. The original
zoning was adopted in early 1978, and at that time, this parcel was
zoned B-2, the equivalent of the contemporary C-1. Later, the
owner petitioned for and was granted the existing I-1
cla:ssification which was attractive at the time since 1-1 was
cumulative in relation to commercial uses. Currently, I-1 is
essentially an exclusive use zoning classification and does not
authorize C-1 uses. The current owner wishes to sell this tract to
the Williamson County Humane Society which in turn wishes to
establish its permanent animal shelter and headquarters at this
location. As a land use, an animal shelter is not authorized in
the 1-1 classification but is authorized in C-1. This tract fronts
Mays and should logically be a commercial tract, as are the
adjacent tracts which front onto Mays.

RESOLUTIONS.
10A.. C6nsid a territorial
jurisdiction from the Travis Counti Rural'Fir e Prevention District
No. 3. Joe Vining made the staff presentation. Resolution 16578,
adopted September 26, 1991, stated that the Round Rock City Council
was opposed to the creation 'of additional taxing districts for
emergency services in our ETJ because of the potential for double
taxation in the future. Staff learned later that this action would
have a negative impact on the conversion of the existing Rural Fire
Prevention District into an Emergency Service District. On October
7, 1991, the Board of Fire Commissioners for TCRFPD #3 passed a
resolution seeking an agreement with Round Rock to provide fire
protection to our ETJ now located in TCRFPD #3 after January 1,
1992, the expected date of conversion. This resolution attempts to
provide the necessarydocumentationso that they may proceed with
the conversion. The key element of this resolution is the phrase
that clarifies who will actually be providing the fire protection,
"The City of Round Rock,h the
Round Rock Volunteer Fire DepArtment, agrees to provide fire
protection..." This resolution does not change the City's stance
on taxing districts in Round Rock's ETJ. It only provides the
action necessary for the creation of a new district that will not
include any of our ETJ.

10E. Consider a resolution authoK:L
4ipa First Southwest
Company
Company to proceed on refunding certain Waterworks and Sewer System
revenue bonds.
David Kautz made the staff presentation. He said, due to the
downward shift in the bond market interest rates, it has become
feasible for the City to reap substantial cost savings by
refinancing certain outstanding waterworks and sewer system revenue
bonds at lower interest rates. Kautz outlined the pro forma
illustrating the actual and present value cost savings estimated
from a refinancing. Assuming a 6.1 prevailing interest rate at
the time of the refinancing, the City could expect to save
$256,000.00 over the life of the refinancing. The discounted
present value of the savings is $171,000,00. With regard to the
budget, the City could possibly save $12,000.00 in the first year
and approximately $20,000 annually in future years. The soft costs
and financing costs are included in these estimated savings. Kautz
outlined the schedule that would be followed once the City's
financial advisor has been authorized to proceed.
Mayor Robinson read the following resolution,

I W Brushy Creek MUD Rate Case
Mayor Robinson read the following letter that will be sent to
Mr. James Donaldson, President
Brushy Creek MUD
Re: Proposal for settlement of the water rate case pending before
the Texas Water Commission, Docket No. 8600-M
Dear Mr. Donaldson:
The purpose of this letter is to respond to your recent settlement
proposal of the above referenced water rate case. For your
convenience, we have attached a copy of your proposal to review
while reading this letter.
While we were pleased to receive your proposal outlining your major
concerns, we were disappointed that no mention was made of our most
critical issue, that being the District's admitted use of the
City's water for emergency purposes and for peak usage, resulting
in widely divergent and inconsistent use of the City's water
resource. As you know, the 1986 contract provides that the City is
obligated to make available for the MUD's use an average of 3 mgd
(million gallons per day) with a 9 mgd peak. The City has taken
this contractual obligation very seriously and has expended
literally millions of dollars to make available this capacity for
the District. However, since the inception of the 1986 contract
the District has continued to develop its own wells and, as your
representatives have testified in the rate hearing, have
aggressively limited the District's consumption of City water.
This policy is quite evident from the consumption records which
show the District's annual water usage steadily and dramatically
dropping from 72,397,000 gallons in 1988 to 5,082,000 gallons in
1991. The daily average of its 1.991 consumption is only 14,000
gallons per day out of the 3,000,000 gallons of available capacity.
As a provider of water, we are sure the District can understand how
this sort of consumption pattern can play havoc with planning and
managing a utility.
Therefore, whi I e we understand the need to discussthe cost of the
water, such discussion,lilis, virtually, pointless without discussing
the amount of water which is going to be purchased. The cost per
1,000 gallons purchased at 14,000 gallons per day will be
dramatically different from that purchased at 3,000,000 gallons per
M
November 14, 1991
day. Likewise, we cannot discuss I extending the contract beyond
2006 unless the District is willingAo pbligatp
, itself to purchase
at least A portion • the water it wants the right to •
In summary, as we understand the attached proposal and your relat
statements, it is presented on the basis that each item is equall
important and that without the City's agreement to everything,
settlement of the rate case is impossible. Accordingly the Ci
has no • but to reject the «•• Since it is obvious th
the District views this matter from a totally different perspecti
than the City, further discussion of your proposal would appear
have little merit. However, if the District desires to discuss t
issues brought forward by the City in the rate case, witho
connecting the unrelated issues, we would be agreeable to furth
discussion.

resolved and dismissed. The pending lawsuits in Williamson Count
District Court, ;Cause NOs. 91-322-C277 and 91-257-C27, ar
dismissed with prejudice. I
1. Water Rate The reserve commitment charge, the surcharge, and
the prepayment fee are no longer collected. The CRF remains in
effect at current levels. Service charge is $1.90 per thousand
gallons. This level of service charge reflects amortization of the
prepayments already made.
2. Water Supply The City of Round Rock agrees to supply water to
the District for a period of 40 years.
3. Wastewater Permit The City�ofRound Rock and Hy -Land et al.
agree not to oppose the District's application for permit renewal
of its wastewater plant at 450jOOO gallon daily average level.
4. Annexation of North Brushy Creek North Brushy Creek will
annexed by the City of Round Rock. The City will pay the Distri
million for the share of bonded indebtedness attributable t*
services to the North. The District will pay $100,000 to the Ci
to connect up water. The City will pay the developers $300,000 f
that portion of the West Round Rock Water System which sery
Brushy Creek North. Since the wastewater plant �goes with t
North, nothing is paid to the City on wastewater.
5. West Round Rock Water System Without acknowledging liabilit
but as part of an attempt to compromise and settle all issu
between the patties, Brushy Creek MUD pays the developers $700,00
in lump sum from the escrow account for regional water ai.
wastewater system to resolve all claims against it for liabilit
for West Round Rock Water System. The City pays the developer, H
Land et al. the approximately $400,000 escrowed for the fees pai
under the, �contract as compensation for West Round Rock Wat
System.
6. Language Interpretation of Annexati R
o nja q_L to be supplied

7. UDAs The District will honor obligations under the UDAs.
8. Subsequent User Fees The District pays the developer $162,000
plus interest since title passed. The District continues to make
monthly payments as received. The developers certify title and
indemnify the District.
Mayor Robinson stated the previously noted settlement proposaE
was delivered to Mayor Pro -tem Culpepper and staff by James
Donaldson and Dale Jackson Wednesday morning, November 13th.
Mayor Robinson said, "the total proposal is unacceptable by
the Council. The importance of this is all the citizens of Brushy
Creek North and of Round Rock need to know what is going on. The
City was asked by a neighborhood group to annex Brushy Creek North.
As a good neighbor, the City has met for a good while to do so and
as of tonight because of the letter received from the MUD Board
those talks will discontinue. If there is anyone that needs to
understand more about this, the Council will be happy to sit down
with them and explain it to them."
MOTION: Councilman Stewart roved to eject the settlement
proposal offered by Brushy Creek MUD and authorize the Mayor and
Mayor Pro-tem to execute a letter to the MUD Board to that effect.
Councilman Stluka seconded the motion.

CITIZENS COMMUNICATION: None
PROCLAMATIONS:
5A. Consider a proclamation proclaiming Home Health Care
to Libby Jones.
PRESENTATIONS:
6A. Consider a presentation and annual update by the Chairman
of the Planning and Zoning Commission.
James Dunham, Chairman of the Planning and Zoning Commission
Florz
November 26, 1991
presented the Commissioners Annual Report. Major planning studies
considered by the Planning Zoning Commission included:
1) An impact fees study and ordinance which addressed the newly
established statutory requirements needed to impose impact fees on
development. 2) A new set of zoning maps was prepared to provide
improved information to citizens. 3) A new open space zone was
prepared to provide for a number of specialized uses appropriate to
large parks.
The Commission has also been actively reviewing the
Subdivision Ordinance in order to streamline procedures, address
issues which have been identified following the construction boom
of the mid 1980's and new environmental issues. In the last year
the Commission considered, approved and/or recommended approval of:
1) twelve final plat extensions; 2) two P.U.E vacations; 3) one
plat vacation; 4) two replats; 5) five preliminary plats; 6) eight
final plats; 7) two zoning ordinance amendments; 2) four zoning
applications; 3) one Planned Unit Development.
The Commission's priorities for the coming year include: 1)
completion of the Subdivision ordinance; 2) review of the Zoning
ordinance; 3) preparation of a sector plan for the SE quadrant of
the City. Dunham added staff has been a tremendous help to the
Commission.
Mayor Robinson thanked Mr. Dunham and added his appreciation
for all their work. He added, the City has had over 200 starts so
far so everyone will begin to see clot more work. This is a good
sign for the community and it looks like the City is headed in the
right direction.
6B. Consider discussion concerning franchise fees.
David Kautz made the staff presentation. The City's current
franchise agreements with Lone Star Gas and Southwestern Bell will
expire in December of this year. These agreements cover the use of
public rights of way. Kautz said, "Jim Gross of Lone Star Gas and
Sandra Lewis of Southwestern Bell were present to give a brief
presentation and answer questions the Council might have."
Mr. Gross noted Lone Star Gas has served Round Rock since
1928. Since Lone Star Gas franchise is expiring in December he
47
November 26, 1991
requested that the Council's consider extending a new agreement.
A new franchise agreement has been filed with staff after meeting
with them. A consensus to change the terms of the existing
agreement to 21 years beginning January 1, 1992 and increase the
fee from 2% to 3% was established.
Mayor Robinson pointed out the reason for the 21 year
franchise agreement was so it could coincide with the expiration of
the TU Electric franchise agreement.
Mayor Pro -tem Culpepper requested a list of cities and their
franchise fees throughout the State that are comparable to the size
of the City of Round Rock that are served by Lone Star Gas.
Sandra Lewis noted Southwestern Bell has had an agreement with
the City of Round Rock since 1941. The current agreement is for
ten years with an automatic renewal provision. She added, "the new
proposed agreement would be for five years instead of ten years and
the automatic renewal clause would be removed." The agreement also
includes a specific sum of, money the City would be receiving
instead of a percentage. The concept of the fee would be a 4% base
fee with additions for growth in their industry. Round Rock they
would receive a minimum of $174,600 or more a year. This would be
paid on a quarterly basis instead of annually. Increases in
revenue with the new concept payment would allow cities to know in
advance the minimum they would be receiving. This would be helpful
in the City's budget process because it would not go below the
established amount. The payment of $174,600 made every year of
the ordinance is not being tied down. That payment is linked to a
growth factor beginning with year two. If Southwestern Bell's
revenues increase in Round Rock by whatever percentage that
increase will go to the City of Round Rock. The City would receive
payment at the minimum level and it could be more but not less.
Mayor Robinson asked, "if TML was in full agreement with
Southwestern Bell's proposal."
Kautz said," yes they endorse the proposal as being a sound
Mayor Pro -tem Culpepper requested the information presented to
the Council be provided to staff in letter form.
November 26, 1991
6C. Consider discussion concerning City insurance cover4ge.
David Kautz made the staff presentation. The City received
bids for insurance coverage for Property, General Liability,
Automobile Liability and Physical Damage, Public Officials
Liability, Law Enforcement Liability and Workers Compensation.
Kautz said Don Gray, Risk Management Group, who was retained by the
City to handle the bid process was present to give a brief
presentation and recommendation. Kautz distributed a report
analyzing the proposals received by the City.
Mr. Gray said, he was very pleased with the response received
and the level of interest that the insurance community gave to the
City of Round Rock. The response is indicative of the City's very
favorable low loss experience of 8 to 10 years. He added the
Workers Compensation losses are remarkable.
Mayor Robinson pointed out that was a reflection of the City's
employees
Mr. Gray noted proposals were submitted by Sue Hoover of Round
Rock Insurance _Agency, Garland Jaecks of Jaecks Insurance, Bill
Lundsford of Sunbelt Insurance, Arthur Gallager of Gallager
Insurance and Texas Municipal League. He added the agents did a
considerable amount of work in submitting their proposals. Gray
briefly offered highlights of the proposals and recommended that
the City continue their insurancecoverage with Texas Municipal
League. The City has an opportunity to reduce their total combined
premiums by about $100,000.
Councilman Joseph asked, if any part of the Workers Comp was
put in the assigned risk pool. Gray said, no.
Mayor Pro -tem Culpepper asked Kautz how this effected the
budget.
Kautz responded, "it reduced ,the anticipated budget $50,000
and it could be reduced further in the Workers Compensation through
a self insurance program."
PUBLIC HEARINGS:
ORDINANCES'
8A. Consider an ordinance expressing the Council's intention
concerning the renewal of the Brushy Creek; MUD Water Contract.
"Jue
MUSIZA
Mayor read the caption of,the ordinance.
ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE DETERMINING AND EXPRESSING THE CITY COUNCIL'S
INTENTION TO NOT RENEW OR EXTEND THE WATER SUPPLY AGREEMENT BETWEEN
THE CITY OF ROUND ROCK AND BRUSHY CREEK MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT;
PROVIDING A SAVINGS CLAUSE AND REPEALING CONFLICTING ORDINANCES.
MOTION: Councilman Joseph moved to adopt the ordinance.
Councilwoman Oatman seconded the motion.
Councilman Palmer said, "he would like to move to table the
ordinance on the basis that the Council has not discussed the
ordinance prior to this moment."
Mayor Robinson informed Councilman Palmer a motion was already
on the floor and he could not take his motion.
Councilman Palmer said, "he felt this was a form of
blackmail." He added he knows, "their list of demands are also a
form of blackmail but two wrongs don't make a right. The question
of tieing the hands of future Council's comes up and I am not ready
to give up on reasonable negotiations, we don't need this high
handed negotiation that brings them to their knees."
Mayor Pro -tem Culpepper pointed out the ordinance could only
be passed on the first reading and further discussions could occur
prior to the second reading of the ordinance.
Mayor Robinson said, "the letter that was sent to the Brushy
Creek MUD Board sent a definite message. It is the job of the
Council to watch out for the citizens of Round Rock and not watch
out for the citizens outside the City of Round Rock. Mayor
Robinson added he does not "represent Brushy Creek MUD but the City
of Round Rock. The demands from the Brushy Creek MUD Board were
totally ridiculous, blackmail and underhanded and he resented it.
The ball is in the,MUD's court, they have known about the Council
feelings for about two weeks and if the Council receives no contact
prior to the next Council meeting the ordinance will be placed on
the agenda."
Mayor Robinson added, "the hands of future Council's will not
be tied concerning an action this Council takes. An ordinance car,
be rescinded if all the council agrees."

Creek Joint Venture made an application for a refund of property
taxes in the amount of $18,662.00. The City has been negotiating
with Lake Creek Joint Venture on the refund itself and the amount
of the refund and has maintained that, it is not liable for this
refund. In order to avoid the cost of litigation, a tentative
agreement has been established and the offer of $10,000.00 in full

SPECIAL RECOGNITION:
5A. Consider recognition of Mr. Ernest Anderson's 100th
Birthday. Mayor Robinson read the following statement prepared by
Mr. Anderson's daughter, "Mr. Anderson was born on December 13,
1891, his father was Carl August Anderson who came to America from
Smaland, Sweden in 1886 and married Christina Burklund in 1888, who
also came from Smaland, Sweden. Their children were Anna, Ernest,
Selma, Adolph, Fred, Ellen, Ethel and Elmer.
Mr. Anderson was born east of Trinity Lutheran Home on a farm
known as the Crosby Place. About two years later his parents moved
to a farm on Highway 79 located between Palm Valley and Hutto.
They lived there until he was five years old, then moved to the
Blair Place south of Round Rock. This is the place on the hill
where the tall water tank and red barn can be seen west of the
4
December 12 1991
Walmart Store at Hester's Crossing,
On November 7, 1916 he married Mancy Matilda Stark and they
lived south of his parents home place, by the curve on County Road
1325. Here their three daughters were born, Laura (Mrs. Dudley
Homeyer), Thelma (Mrs. Wilbur Munson), and Gladys (Mrs. Ernest N.
Johnson).
In 1922 they bought a farm north of County Road 1325 on
Highway 81 where Town and Country Mall is located which was the
field he used to farm. Besides farming he also ran a dairy, having
as many as forty cows, delivering milk first to the Round Rock.
Cheese Factory and later to the school and town residents.
In 1965 when he retired from farming they bought the Bob

$5.00/first 10 min. $15/first 5 min. $22.50/base charge
$5.00/each 10 min. $1/each min. $1.50/time at curb
Avg. charge - $10 Avg. charge - $30 Avg. Charge -$52.50
Current operating cost per hour is $91-00.
Current average time per pick-up is 35 minutes.
Current average time at curb -side is 20 minutes.

people will still be encouraged to dispose of their brush in this
orderly fashion as opposed to dumping it somewhere they shouldn't."

their brush to the chipping site." Nuse said that could be a no
December 12, 1991
charge alternative to the curbside pickup. The site is manned on

preferred that brush be dropped off only on the days the site is
manned."

Worthy patron of Texas of the Eastern Star. Mayor Pro -tem
Culpepper read the appropriate proclamation. This proclamation

509 =-
Joanne Land made the staff presentation. Under current Stat]3
law a city may impose a two percent (2%) gross receipts tax on the
conduct of bingo games within the city. If a county also imposes
a tax, which Williamson County does, then the City may collect only
one percent (1%) of the gross receipts and the County receives one
percent (l). In order to collect one percent (1%) of the tax, the
City must pass an ordinance imposing the tax. Since the County
currently collects two percent (2%), the amount collected will be
divided between the City and the County. The tax is born by those
individuals who play bingo. If the Council wishes to enact such an
ordinance the projected revenues will be between $2,500 and $5,000
per year. Land noted Councilman Palmer had been reviewing this
issue and asked that this be placed on the agenda for
consideration.
but one that is already being collected.
In response to Councilman Stluka's question, Councilman Palmea
touched on the State imposed bingo tax and how it affected the
American Legion.
PUBLIC HEARINGS:
Animal Control Ordinance. Jim Muse made the staff presentation.
Several modifications to the Animal Control Ordinance are being
proposed which include cat licensing, large animal regulations and
poultry regulations.
Marion Hastings, Code Enforcement Officer, briefly outlined
January 9, 1.992
the changes that would occur. Three major changes to the
ordinance would be that owners would now be fined for livestock
running at large, cats would be require a license and the Animal
Control officer would have the authority to pickup a dog in
pursuit.
Mayor Robinson opened the public hearing.
Councilman Joseph expressed his concern on how an owner would
keep the license on the cat.
James Patton, 1.725 North Mays business owner of Rivers and
Reefs, spoke against the ordinance which pertained to cats. He
commented, "cat collars are dangerous and cats are natural
wanderers who return home if their path is not interrupted." He
said an article in the Pet Industry Joint Council newsletter stated
Itcat licenses do not work and the process has failed." He added,
"that having the cats licensed and tagged would only be adding
another tax to the citizens."
Tammy Dellsperger, 803 Garden Valley Cove, spoke in favor of
the ordinance which pertained to cats. She noted her cat wears a
collar and has for a while. She added, "cats should be subjected
to licensing and people should be held accountable for their
anima Is. "
Suzanne Cash, 301 Gladeview, spoke in favor of the ordinance
which pertained to cats. She said "if people were required to
license their cats then they would take better care of them."
Jim Nuse clarified that the license fees would be collected by
the Williamson County Humane Society and those fees would offset
the boarding costs.
Jane Mahlow, Executive Director Williamson County Humane
Society, said in the ten years she has been a veterinarian she had
only witnessed one cat that was strangled by a collar. She said
she was "in favor of controlling cats via legislation, Many towns
and counties have an ordinance requiring cat licensing, The only
way to tackle the cat problem was through education, sterilization
and legislation."
Wayne Hopper, 2103 Raintree Path, spoke in favor of the
ordinance which pertained to cats. He said "stray cats among other
things cause health problems and owners should be responsible for
their animals."
Gayle Avant, 2104 Raintree Path, spoke in favor of the
ordinance which pertained to cats. �She,echoed comments made by the
previous speakers in favor of the ordinance.
There being no further public testimony, Mayor Robinson closed
the public hearing.

Jim Nuse • the staff presentation. The project consists •
construction of approximately 1550 linear feet of 12 inch water
line, plus appurtenances, from the Creek Apartments to the existing
16 inch water line along F.M. 1460. The estimated construction
cost of the project is $67,000.00. Last year staff recommended
that Rio Tech Engineering be hired to design a water line between
the Creek Apartments and 1460 along Highway 79. The Council
rejected the recommendation. Since that time, proposals were
received for the surveying portion of the project and Baker-Aicklen
was authorized to do the work. Since there are many utilities
located in the right of way, it is important to have the design
done by a firm familiar with that right of way. Bill Waeltz, now
with Rio Tech designed and administered the construction of the
force main in this stretch of right of way.Therefore, staff
recommended this project be awarded to Rio Tech. The engineering
and surveying portion is equal to 11.7% of the construction cost or
$7,839 with the surveying portion being $2,375 and the engineering

CITY MANAGER'S REPORT:
Bob Bennett asked the Council if they would like to have
another joint City Council/School Board meeting. The Council
scheduled Thursday, January 30, 1992 for the meeting. He also
asked Joe Vining to update the Council on the Foreign Trade Zone.
COUNCIL COMMENTS:
Councilwoman Oatman thanked the staff from the various City
departments who helped in the recent flood situation.
Mayor Pro -tem Culpepper read the following statement:
"After reading the article in last Thursday's Neighbor section of
the American Statesman it is apparent that the reporter, who has
never attended any of the meetings, has no understanding of the
objectives of the Task Force appointed by the City Council on
October 22, 1991. The mission statement developed by the Task
Force, "To present to the City Council a fiscally responsible
recommendation regarding a comprehensive general obligation program
to enhance the quality of life for the citizens of Round Rock for
the remainder of the 20th century," demonstrates this group's
desire to do more than just recommend a three year bond proposal.
They have listened to everything from how projects can be financed
to department heads "wish lists" through the year 2000. This is by
far the most comprehensive capital improvements projects Task Force
in the history of the City. Their understanding was that the
earliest a bond election could be called would be May, but in no
way was that a goal set by the group. While the City has shown
tremendous economic growth in the past year with housing starts and
sales tax receipts increasing, the Task Force is sensitive to the
fact that many residents are more concerned with their job security
and the ability to meet their mortgage than a bond election.
However, just because a recovery has been slow in coming, there is
no reason not to continue to plan for the future of the City. In
fact, in 1987 a G.O. bond Task Force identified projects they felt
were important to the City, but as now the time was not right for
a bond election. Alternative funding sources were explored and
projects such as the extension of Deepwood Drive, the Round Rock
West Avenue bridge, right of way acquisition for the expansion of
IH -35, and sidewalks to elementary schools were all completed
M
without having to ask thelv,oters to approve the sale of any bonds,
Councilwoman Oatman should remember this since before her election
to the City Council she was a member of that Task Force. Another
project that was conceived during that time was a golf course. It
was felt that even though a golf course was needed, G.O. bonds were
not the way to finance it. Today, Forest Creek Golf Course is a
reality, financed at no risk to the City, and in it's first full
year of operation it put almost $14,500 of sales tax revenue in the
general fund of the City. When the Task Force completes it's study
and makes it's recommendation to the Council it will be our job to
explore the ways to finance these projects. of the $12.5 million
the Staff is asking for some of those items are budget items and
should not be paid for with 20 year debt. Some items we will try
to fund with matching grant money, some items may be bought with
the $1.9 million lawsuit settlement, some items may be bought with
funds from the $2,000 per week interest that the $1.9 million is
earning the City, and some items will be presented to the voters
when the economy at the appropriate time. If the reporter had
taken the time to attend the meetings we would have had all of this
information available to her."

Councilman Stewart complimented all the City staff for their hard
work during the holiday storm.

PRESENTATIONS:
6A. Consider a Presentation concerning a land use plarLjor
The Meadows at chandler Creek.. Joe Vining made the staff
presentation. He pointed out the Consent Agreement for the
Creation
• The Meadows at Chandler Creek Municipal Utilito
District contained a requirement for a Land Use Plan. This plan
will serve as an equivalent of zoning for the M.U.D. The
development of The Meadows at Chandler Creek will consist
predominantly of residential development together with limited
commercial at key intersections, some multi -family and a church.
Vining added, "the Land Use Plan conforms to all the policies
and requirements of the Round Rock General Plan and the current
Zoning Ordinance,"
6B. Consider q_presentation concerning Possible changes to
the Solicitor's Ordinance.- Wes Wolff made the staff presentation.
He asked the Council to consider several changes to the ordinance
so it can reflect the way the City currently operates. Currently
the Ordinance designates the City Secretary to issue the necessary
licenses and administer the ordinance but the Police Department is
the department that actually performs those duties. Additional
amendments requested are:
Section 4.204 does not require the solicitor to apply in
person. Staff recommended the application should be made in
91E�
Section 4.206 requires a license fee of $10.00 for the agency
• business plusper individual . Staff recommended charginM
only $10.00 per individual.
Section 4.210(4) prohibits the sale of any goods from any
vehicle. Staff recommended eliminating this section because it
does not allow an ice cream or snowcone truck from operating in the
City.
January 23, 1992
recommended the allowance of transfer of a license at the request
of the agent and approved by the Police Department. Wolff noted
many companies use high school and/or college students and the
turnover is numerous. This will allow the license to be
transferred but keep the same expiration date.
Section 4.217 requires ID cards be issued to each individual.
This is a,duplicated effort since all ID information is contained
on the individual license. Staff recommended eliminating this
MRIAZZ "T
Mayor Pro -tem Culpepper noted the amendments would riot effect
girl scouts, little� league, soccer teams or school fundraisers.
There would be no charge' for this type of door to door selling but
the activity does need to be registered.
In response to Councilman Palmer's question, Chief Wolff
clarified that non-profit organizations like the Heart Association
would only have 'to register with the Police Department.
Councilman Joseph inquired how the City could receive sales
tax that is collected from door to door sales.
David Kautz responded, "that would be hard to monitor but I
will check into it."
PUBLIC HEARINGS:
7A. Consider Public testimony concerning _qmendments to the
Animal Control Ordinance. Jim Nuse made the staff presentation.
He pointed out the Police Department is now responsible for Animal
Control. He noted several modifications to the Animal Control
Ordinance are proposed. These changes include cat licensing, large
animal regulations and poultry regulations. Fees collected for the
Humane Society would offset the cost of adoption, boarding and
euthanizing. Cats would be exempt from the lease law.
Mayor Pro -tem Culpepper opened the public hearing.
Christine Page, 1503 Hermitage, said, "I agree with the
ordinance but disagree with some of the language." She added,
"there is nothing in the ordinance to protect my 11 cats from being
picked up as soon as they cross the street."
Craig Page, 1503 Hermitage, echoed his wife's comments. He
said he was not against the ordinance but preferred the following
January 23, 1992
change: 1) Subsection 2.303(3) Animal Control Officer to ILn __gijnd
p
All Doqs and Cats Running at 1jarge_, to state, "It shall be the
duty of the Animal Control Officer or any Police Officer in the
City of Round Rock, Texas to cause all dogs or unregistered cats,
and vaccinated and registered cats, to be impounded when found
running at large upon the public streets, parks, alleys, public
premises and/or Private premises, other than the private premise of
the owner of such dog or cat." 2) Subsection 2.303(7) Cats Exem t
From Leash he wanted it to state, "Although cats shall be exempt
from the leash requirement, any Icat straying on the property of
anyone except the owner shall be deemed a public nuisance, if there
is a complaint, and shall be subject to impoundment." He said
these changes would safeguard his cats from being picked up at
Wayne Bennett, 2407 Meadow Brook Drive, relayed some
experiences he has had with cats that were not controlled. He
noted he was in favor of an ordinance that would place some type of
control of cats.
Jackie Dial, 1114 Sunbeam Cove, stated she agreed with Mr.
Page's comments and asked the Council to consider Mr. Page's
suggested changes to the ordinance.
There being no further testimony, the public hearing was
closed.
ORDINANCES:
8A. Consider an ordinance amending the Animal Control
Ordinance. (Second Readin_q)
In response to Councilman Stluka's inquiry Marion Hastings
stated, "I do not have a problem with the suggested changes to the
ordinance."
Sheets pointed out, "in the terms of administering the
ordinance the difference between'a registered cat and a stray cat
can not be established before it's impoundment."
Nuse said, "the procedures that are being requested could be
handled admistratively because the City's intent is not to hunt
down cats."
Councilman Stewart stated, "the City was not in the business
of harassment and I would like the ordinance to be adopted. If a
January 23, 1992
problem occurs at a later date then the ordinance could be

CONSIDER DISCUSSION OF ITEMS OF MUTUAL CONCERN FOR THE CITY OF
ROUND ROCK AND ROUND ROCK INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT INCLUDING BUT
NOT LIMITED TO THE FOLLOWING:
Jim Nuse gave a brief overview of several joint projects the
City and School, are currently working on. The projects include
relocation of a
• on Chisholm Valley Drive • sidewalks
near Bluebonnet Elementary at a total cost of about $2,700.
Bonwood Drive drainage improvements will be a 50/50 venture that
will be accomplished while school is out in the summer. The City
is preparing to begin $130,000 worth of improvements to Gattis
School Road. The design should be finished in April and
improvements completed by August 15th prior to the first day of
school The City is to keep Alice Brown updated on the Gattis
School Road Project.
Joe Vining updated everyone concerning the G.O. Bond Task
Force.
Bob Bennett introduced the proposed school Transportation
Center discussion. Vining then went over the conditional use
permit process necessary in order to place the center on the
January 30, 1.992
School's Deepwood site. A lengthy discussion occurred concerning
the possibility of using a portion of the City's Deepwood Yard site
instead of the School's property. It was decided that Dr. McLendon
would get any questions he had to Bennett concerning this matter.
Councilman Stluka addressed the subject of recreational swim
and competitive swim. The Task Force, of which Councilman Stluka
is Vice -Chair, said they felt a competitive swim facility
(natatorium) should be a priority of the School District and not
the City. The City's priority should be recreational swim. A
lengthy discussion occurred with no solution reached.
Bob Bennett told the group about a Drug and Youth oversight
Committee the City would like to see formed. The Committee would
consist of one councilmember, one school boardmember, one school
administrator, one school principal, the Chief of Police, one
citizen appointed by the City. The committee would coordinate
efforts between all the groups and keep open a line of
communication.
Don Howard said the School hired Janet Schone to coordinate
their Drug Prevention area. By law, the school has created a
District Drug Advisory Committee consisting of 60 to 80 interested
persons. It was suggested that someway the mechanics be worked out
so that the two groups can work together. Staffs are to get
together on this.
Councilman Joseph asked if the "K -9's" are used in the
schools. The Chief of Police said the dogs are available if the
School Board wants to use them. Mrs. Blewett asked that a drug dog
demonstration be given at the February School Board meeting.
Dale Ricklefs, Library Director, went over a discussion she
had with the School's Librarian. They talked about possibly 2
joint programs 1) summer reading; and 2) joint facility use during
the entire year. Dale was asked to continue her discussions with
the school.
Denise Rocco, President of Lone Star Aquatics, stressed the
need for a year-round competitive swim center.

CITIZENS COMMUNICATIONS.
Dr. Jane Mahlow, Executive Director Williamson County Humane
Society, 2121 N. .Mays, informed the Council that the Humane ',Society
had finally relocated to their permanent home. She expressed her
gratitude for the amount of help' the City offered to the Humane
Society. Dr. Mahlow asked permission to use the City streets for
their annual fundraiser, the K-9 -5K Walk -A--' hon which is scheduled
for October 24,1992. She pointed out the streets, as noted on the
map provided, would not have to be closed for the event.
The Council expressed no objections to Dr. Mahlow's request.
PROCLAMATIONS: None
* � k
Mr. Norman Tremblay, District' Manager of the local AAA office,
February 13, 1992
presented the Council with a Pedestrian Safety Award for having no
pedestrian fatalities in 1990. Mayor Robinson accepted the award
on behalf of the City.
6.B. Consider Apreqp-ntation concerning Regional Sewer
Project. Jim Muse made the staff presentation. The City will need
to expand the treatment facilities at the East Wastewater Treatment
Plant. The Technical Committee of the Regional Sewer Project
agreed that a study to determine flows was necessary to assign
costs between Round Rock and Austin. Additionally, data on line
sizing and timing may be significantly altered as a result of this
study. The firm of Camp, Dresser and McKee was chosen to perform
this work at a cost of 827,000. Round Rock's share of this amount
is 15% or about $4,000. These funds are already on account with
the WCID and construction is proposed to begin in 1.994.
PUBLIC HEARINGS:
7.A. Consider PublictestL'moxi_yqorq
�� i amendments to the
rr14g
Animal Control ordinance. Steve Sheets made the staff
presentation. He referred to the two ordinances provided to the
Council, the original with minor typo changes and one as
recommended by Mr. Page. He highlighted portions of the ordinance
as recommended by Mr. Page. In the Page version of the ordinance,
burden would be placed on citizens who wish to file a complaint
because the complaint would have to be in written form along with
a description of the cat. Attempting to enforce the ordinance in
court would be a problem because it would have to be proven beyond
a reasonable account that the cat described in the complaint is the
one that was impounded. Also the animal control officer can not
determine if a cat is registered unless it is impounded. Sheets
stated that the ordinance recommended by Mr. Page was not
enforceable if only unregistered cats or registered cats that have
a complaint filed against them will be impounded. Sheets
recommended that the Council adopt the original ordinance.
In response to Mayor Robinson's question, Sheets said that the
fees for impoundment are addressed in the contract with the Humane
Society. The maximum fine for a Class C misdemeanor is $500 and
would only be assessed if a complaint had been filed in Municipal
Court and they were found guilty.
112
February 13, 1992
Mayor Robinson opened the public hearing.
Dr. Jane Mahlow, 2121 N. Mays, noted that the impoundment f--ee
is $15.00, for the first impoundment, plus $7.00 a day to reclaim
an animal whether it's a dog orcat.
Christine Page, 1503 Hermitage Drive, said she was in favor of
the ordinance in its basic form but saw no reason for the
registration of cats. She said the ordinance "was an over
complication of a simple strategy."
Craig Page, 1503 Hermitage Drive, offered other suggested
amendments to the ordinance. He said, "only reasonable and
verifiable complaints should be filed and could be done over the
phone."
Jackie Dial, 1114 Sunbeam Cove, stated she supported Mr.
Page's comments and suggestions. She added, "my rights as a cat
owner would not be protected with the original ordinance."
Mahlon Arnett, President of the Humane Society, noted he was
in charge of animal control in Williamson County. In the two years
this type of regulation has, been in effect in the County no
problems have occurred. When a regulation is in existence one can
work with people who own animals and it allows for the problem
animals to be taken care of. This ordinance would allow the animal
control officer to respond to complaints of strays.
There being no further public testimony the public hearing was
closed.
The Council expressed that an ordinance of this type was
needed to help solve the problem of stray cats.
In response to Councilman Joseph's question, Nuse said that
the City licenses could be obtained at the Humane Society.
B.A. Consider an ordinance amendinq the Animal Control
Ordinance. (Tabled 1-23-92; Second Reading} Mayor Robinson noted
a starting point was needed to solve the problem of stray cats and
the ordinance may need to be amended but this would be the
beginning of solving the problem of stray cats.
Mayor Robinson read the caption of the ordinance.

Councilwoman Oatman noted she was not against the design and asked
which phases were being considered. Bob Bennett said Phase 1'which
is kitchen related and Phase 3 which is the west ging.
Councilwoman Gutman asked' the 'Council to consider the
possibility of locating funds through grant money so the Senior
Citizens would not have to raise their $17,000 portion of the
needed $34,000 for Phase I.
Mayor Robinson noted, "this is a 'joint effort project and if
the Senior Citizens can not raise the money in a reasonable amount
of time then the City can step in and help but they have stated
they wanted the challenge of raising' the funds." The total
estimated cost of the entire project is $200,000.
Mayor Robinson read the caption of the ordinance.

6.D. Consider an ordinance to vacate a portion of a Public
utilijjeasement .Ionated on Lot 6, Block B —
Windy—T�gtiL-race- —Section
One. (First Reading) Joe Vining made the staff presentation.
When Lot 6, Block B, of the Windy Terrace Section one
Subdivision was originally platted a 7 1/2 - foot public utility
easement was dedicated along its west line. Later, the easement
was broadened to ten (10') feet of width via a dedication by
separate instrument. Ultimately, an encroachment resulted during
construction of the house. At this time the current owner, Doug
Scott, has requested vacation of the encroachment area only. All
of the authorized public utility users of this easement have given
a written consent to this easement request. Accordingly, the Staff
recommended adoption of the vacation ordinance.
Mayor Robinson read the caption of the ordinance.

B.E. Consider an ordinance amending the Brush Collection
Regulations. (First Reading) Jim Nuse made the staff presentation.
On December 12, 1991, a presentation regarding the need to indreasl
the brush pick-up fees was brought before the Council. The
current fee of $5.00 per 10 minutes does not nearly cover costs.
The proposed increase is $15.00 for the first five minutes plus
$5.00 for each additional 5 minutes. This increase will riot
entirely cover costs but will help offset the operation loss and
believes this service deters "illegal" dumping in sparSE!ly
developed sub -divisions, vacant land, and City right's of way.
Nuse added the ordinance also contains a provision which allows
brush to be pick-up if its in the right-of-way and the property
owner charged for that pick-up.

obtain
a waiver
from the Council to that particular requirement
Nuse said Mr. Williams was proposing to build his private home
on one of the two tracts and he was aware if the sewer line came
within 200 feet of his home he would tie into it.
Mr. Williams approached the Council and noted he was, Ji.k-j
agreement with Nuse's comments. Also he proposed to build his home
on 14 1/2 acres and sell the 5 acre tract, He noted, "substantial
homes will be built on the tracts and that will be all that is be
those tracts." lie said he, "will be glad to place a restriction an
the 5 acre tract regarding the 200 foot tie in."

house and not the property line before he could tie into the line.

3. A. Consider a regort concerning compensation for City
employees. Bob Bennett made the staff presentation. Total Quality
Management (TQM) is a model which promotes employee involvement in
management problem solving. He explained how this process was used
to conduct a salary study. His short term goal was to achieve a
fiftieth percentile salary ranking in relation to comparable cities
for all Round Rock positions. He added that his long-term goal was
the seventy-fifth percentile. Bennett noted Rick Thomas, a member
of the Compensation Review Team, would outline the process the team
followed to develop their recommendations. Also representatives
from Ray and Associates, Inc. Consultants were present to explain
the role they had during the study and David Kautz would explain
the financial specifics.
Rick Thomas explained that representatives from all municipail
departments and d6partment-status sections formed the Compensatiom
Review Team. He recognized the team members that were present.
They are Cary Matt, Maggie Stoecklein, Irma Mendoza, Billy Ortiz,
David Kautz, Lance Shellenberger, Paul Gambrel, Tracie Glaeser,
Linda Gunther, Janette Johnston, Charles Fleet, John Addison,
Joanne Land and Quality Management Advisor Dale Ricklefs. Team
members that were absent were Mark Remmert, Terrell Wilkey, and
Kelly Simek. Thomas noted the mission of the Team was to compare
the City of Round Rock system of Employee Compensation to that of
other similar Texas cities and to provide recommendations based on
the comparisons. He outlined the steps the team followed to
complete their mission.
fte of the steps pertained to improvements in the structure of
the compensation :zyatem so salary adjustments to, the fiftieth
,percentile could,beoaccomplishe,O.�'He noted the team met with the
Quality Board to discuss and seek guidance in establishing a new
range/step plan. The Board agreed, with the idea of career paths
and suggested that the last step in a range should be one hundred
fifty percent greater than, the amount of Step A. The establishment
of a ,r,,angp/,,step structure which is closely tied 'to, the market and
which includes clearly,, identifiable career paths will greatly
improve the compensation., system, of the City of Round Rock. This is
turn will improve the ability to recruit and retain an effective
work force, and will engender productive employees who are focused
on continuous improvement in the quality of service they provide to
the citizens of Round Rock. The Review Team compiled and compared
the data generated by the survey of selected cities. Based on
these comparisons the Review Team recommended a comprehensive model
of salary progression keyed to the respective study medians.
Thomas went over the following supplemental recommendations:
1) Managers at all levels need to review their respectivM
employee job descriptions and jobtitles to insure that these are
both current and appropriate.
2) Benefits merit the same intensive study as that given to
salaries.
3) The periodic study of salaries for.the adjustment of costil
of -living and market fluctuations, perhapsiloperating�cloncurrently
with the three-year.budgot, deserves serious attention.
4) Formulation of the criteria for advancement, associated
with every municipal position likewise deserves serious scrutiny.
5) Given, especially, City of Round Rock organizational
increases in both size and,complexity, its personnel function very
probably merit's departmental status.
I Thomas emphasized that the recommendations of the Cpmp.ensati
Review Team would not'; negativel y - impact any city employeeI:or
employee's net salary.,
Katherine Ray of Ray & Associates, Inc. commended the
�thoroughness of the eva,luati,on process.,And, agreed that the data was
each position in the City be reviewed and evaluated. I Also the City
March 26, 1992
needs to address the cost of living adjustments each year to
maintain the goal that vorss established concerning salaries. She
also endorsed the ',need to place Personnel in a departmental status.

recent development of the Plantation Subdivision.

PROCLAMATIONS: None
PRESENTATIONS:
9.A. Consider continuation of thp W Sessign concerrLjAq
compensation for City employees, if needed. David Kautz explained
that the Quality Board felt strongly about wanting each employee
with the City to receive some noticeable amount of increase despite
the limited available funds. Therefore, they decided to establish
a minimum of $30 per month gross salary for each employee. The
final results of the study were reviewed, and any employee salary
which was affected by less than a $30 per month increase was
4rought up to the ease level. This places some employees-&
salaries between steps for an interim period of time. The
approximate cost to implement the program would be $420,000. This
Utackage would bring the City to market and benefit most of the
people at the most economical cost. The cost is low enough to
feasibly implement the program within one year instead of several
years. Funding would be provided with the $130,000 set aside for
this purpose plus proceeds acquired through renegotiation of
franchise fees, designated savings from reduced utility system cost
and designated savings from the City's insurance program. He also
offered options that could complete the funding of the program.
The Council gave their support of the program.
Bennett informed the Council staff would be meeting with all
the departments to answer any questions the employees might have.
The Council thanked everyone that was involved in this

S.B.Consider an ordinance amending the Personnel Policy.
(First Reading) David Kautz made the staff presentation.
Currently, City employees, upon hire have a probationary
period of 120 days. Police personnel have a 180 day probationary
period. In concurrence with the Compensation Review Team, staff
recommended amending the Personnel Policy to require a 180 day
probationary period for all new appointments. Benefits of
extending the probationary period would standardize the time period
throughout the City. It would allow a longer period of time for
employees to adjust to his/her new position and also allow
supervisory/management to give a fair evaluation of performance.
In response to Councilman Palmer's question, Kautz said this
amendment would not effect personnel currently in a probation
status.

made the staff presentation. Kautz noted, "the City invests a
significant portion of its cash balances with the State Treasury
(Texpool). Periodically, in order to diversify the City's
portfolio or to improve average yield, funds may be transferred
from Texpool to purchase U.S. Government Treasury Securities or
Agency Securities. When such transactions take place, the City's
investment policy requires an independent, third party institution
to safekeep the records of the transactions. The State Treasury,
for the convenience of its local government customers, has set up
this independent safekeeping company. The fees are cheaper than a
bank, security is not compromised and the State Treasurer oversees
the operation." Staff recommended that the Council approve this
option for the City.

Charles A. Cavanaugh, 1604 Oakridge Drive, expressed his
dislike of areas around the City that are being used as dump sites,
especially along the Interstate and the railroad. He said,
"citizens and the Council should be concerned about the cleanliness
of the City." Mr. Cavanaugh said he knew of a state law against
junk yards and dump yards within 900 feet of a major highway and
the City should see that law enforced. Another concern Mr.
Cavanaugh expressed was the abundance of real estate signs that are
littering the streets and highways. He asked the Council to have
a clean up day in January and February so trash could not be hidden
by brush or foliage.

PRESJNTATIONS:
Consider a gresentation concerning a fort 2 min—LS-r-e—Y
water line to grovide water to the golf course. Jim Nuse, made the
staff presentation. The Franklin Tract will begin,to develop soon.
In order; to,provide wastewater service to this pr,opert. y,, Franklin
will construct off-site force main. The City is interested in
providing treated effluent to the golf course for the purpose of
irrigation as recommended by the Environmental Task ,force® In
order to provide this service, a force main and a lift station from
the plant to the golf course would be required. -A,12" line and an
8" line >are designed. The City will pay for the 8" line. This
equates to 8% tea or 40% of the total cost of the line, work.
Constructing,, the irrigation line at the, time that the, force main is
constructed has several advantages. It would provide economy of
-scale for construction fcosts._I.t would al low operation f legibility
for the lift stations. _ Init�41.1y,,_,subdi.vision,1 low, will be low.
,So the line would more. appropriately servi,eethe
- -area., , lad the
future, the 12" line will be needed for wastewater services. , This
is a direct benefit to the City since, we will be operating the Jift
station and force main; as. well , as=, the treatment plant. I The 'wel I
currently utilized by the golf course can be put into domestic
service thus providing an additionalippurce of supply. Effluent
re -use, is a goal which is encouraged,by the TWC, EPA, and the Round
Rock, Envi ronmenta 1 Task Force. The lift station at theplant site
can be ed; to provide irrigation water- to the Palm Valley park.

Water and Wastewater:
The City should develop proactive,,programs in four principal
categories of water management:' wastewater as a resource; water
conservation; surface water, protection; and ground water
protection.
,Solid Waste:
The City should concentrate on the following issues, waste
characterization, recycling and resource conservation, waste
minimalization, and waste management. Education of the public is
the key factor influencing the success of any waste management
option, particularly including recycling and reuse.
Energy:
The City could set an example for the community by purchasing
recycled, materials whenever it is economically and technically
practical. This would include such items as stationary,
lubricating oils, and similar commodities that the,City uses in
large amounts. The City should also initiate recycling and waste
minimalization programs in all of it's offices for paper; glass,
and metals to demonstrate to the community it's commitment in these
areas. Three primary needs of the City are: adoption of a formal
energy ordinance; establishment of an on-going energy audit

program; and implementation of incentive program.
Education•
The City should offer more public relations for issues which
would encourage community involvement; have information activities
for issues that provide useful environmental information to the
community; and education on issues that provide assistance to
teachers and stimulate interest among students'. Four key public
relation activities are: a logo contest; the "Beat the Peak"' water
conservation campaign; and quarterly environmental _seminars. Six
key information activities that were identified are: a centralized
resource center; an environmental hotline; quarterly environmental
seminars; a list of field trip sites; labeling of consumer goads;
and providing the community with research can past environmental
behavior of an industry. The Library should be used as a
centralized environmental resource center. It can also be used for
an environmental hot line and can be ,staffed by volunteers.

accomplished and others are in the process of being accomplished.

RRISD Superintendent Dan McLendon:
The Round Rock Independent School District will be moving
portable buildings onto four of our schools to accommodate the
additional student growth anticipated for the coming year. The
District will also be moving additional portables onto the
administrative site to house special education personnel currently
at McNeil High School. We are in the process of presenting the
information to the Development Review Board as required. We have
provided the City with postage costs for processing correspondence
related to the review process as well as other necessary data.
We are aware that there is a $500 per site filing fee.
However, we would like to petition the City Council to waive the
fee. We feel such action would be to our mutual benefit as we are
both public entities operating with public tax dollars.
After Chavez made his request Mayor Robinson asked that a
message be carried back to Dr. McLendon. He stated, "Every time
Sharon Prete comes to ask for use of a gym, she is asked to pay for
it. We are a public entity and these are tax dollars we are
talking about. It is a two way street. We would like that two way
street to be wide open and we request the same consideration be
given the City of Round Rock that RRISD is asking us to give them."

The Round Rock Chamber of Commerce Tourism Committee has been
actively working to enhance the tourism efforts in the City of
Round Rock. Brochures have been completed and are ready for
distribution.
In an effort to position the Chamber's Tourism Committee as
the clearing house for all events attracting tourists to Round
Rock, the Tourism Committee has investigated the possibility of
asking you to allow the Chamber to review all requests for funding
assistance by the various groups in town presently sponsoring major
events. Enclosed is a proposal to organize a review process. Also
enclosed is a draft letter announcing the change in the review
process and the proposed application forms that would be used key
the various' organizations requesting assistance from the
hotel/motel monies. The proposal is designed for the Tourism
Committee after reviewing all applications to present 'their
recommendations to the Chamber Board of Directors and subsequently
to the Round Rock City Council to be considered in conjunction with
the City's hotel/motel and general operating budget process.
This proposal of the Tourism Committee has been presented to
the Chamber's Board of Directors and is supported by a majority of
the members of the Board. We feel that by the Tourism Committee
being a; part of this review process it would be beneficial' for the
entire tourism effort of Round Rock.
We would like to present on Thursday, June 25 an update' on

review and questions.

procedure handout. He also stressed the need to develop ,new

July 9, 1992
year old mother (Abercrombie) was unresponsive and unconscious.
Adams then began talking Mrs. Kyle through the procedure to start
CPR and continued to dive instructions and encouragement to Mrs.
Kyle over the telephone until the Fire Department arrived at 608
Andover to take over CPR. After their arrival, EMB and Fire
personnel introduced Advanced Life Support and revived Mrs.
Abercrombie.Mrs. Abercrombie was taken to the hospital and upon
her arrival there had a strong pulse and was again responsive to
emergency personnel. As of July 7, 1992, Mrs. Abercrombie' has been
sent home to be with her family again. Although she still faces
the possibility of future heart problems, Mrs. Abercrombie has been
able to enjoy at least two months of life with her family that she
would not have had if not for the quick and professional response
of dispatchers Harris and Adams. Together they were able to
provide the calm direction necessary to not only talk Mrs. Kyle
through CPR until medical personnel arrived, they still attended to
their other duties and kept communications open for all City
departments during the course of the emergency. Dispatchers Harr -is
and Adams are to be commended for their heroic efforts and to both
of them we extend a hearty"well done" and our sincerest thanks for
their professionalism."

2) It allows the City of Round Rock the right to vacate the
plat if all construction has not been completed in accordance with

the added cost of a letter of credit, which in today's financial
environment us difficult to obtain, while assuring that the
construction of the subdivision will be completed in accordance
with all ordinance requirements and eliminating any risk to the
City that it will be called on to complete the subdivision under

extended.

6.A. Consider a Presentation concerning FYI Round Rock by the
Round Rock Chamber of Commerce. Keith Hickman, member of the
Chamber of Commerce FYI Committee, gave a brief overview and
history of FYI Round Rock. Hickman said, "FYI is a sub -committee
*f the Round Rock Chamber of Commerce's Economic Developmer)t
Committee." Their mission statement is: "F.Y.I. Round Rock will
identify and promote professional services and products in the
Round Rock Area through education and networking."
The Committee's goal is to identify and promote local
businesses in the Round Rock ETJ which provide/produce professional
services and/or products.
The Committee's first priority is to develop a comprehensive
directory which lists all local businesses providing/ producing
professional services and/or goods. The directory would be helpful
as:
1. A resource guide for local businesses to utilize when
purchasing goods and services as listed in the directory.
2. An additional recruitment tool which showcases the many
businesses and industries which have chosen to make Round Rock
their home.
Karen Johnson -Wager, an independent research/telemarketing

contact more than 1,000 area businesses who provide professional
services and goods. Ms. Johnson -Wager has currently obtained
statistics from 261 businesses and will be included in the
directory. The directory would list the name of the business,
address, gross revenue and standard industry; codes. Distribution
of the directory is currently scheduled for early October,
The Committee's future plans consist of developing a computer
disk which would contain the FYI information and could be sold to
area businesses for marketing purposes.

community and who exemplify the very essence of Round Rock."

after briefly outlining her background and accomplishments. After
briefly outlining their background and accomplishments, Vice -
Chairman Ray Amaro presented the award to Genobeba Rendon, Mack
Rubio, and Lorenzo Rubio.
6.C. Consider Presentation of the completed "Round Rock
Historic Pro*ect - An Ongoing History...".
i Hugh Bender of th�;
Planning Department presented "The Round Rock Historic Project -An
Ongoing History..." notebook to each of the Councilmembers.
The notebook was made possible due to a $5,000 grant funded by
the Texas Historical Commission through the Certified Local
Government Grant (CLG) Program and is Round Rock's first product
funded through this grant program.
Bender briefly outlined the notebook and added "this was an
ongoing project." Valuable information, as staff acquires it, will
be added to the notebook. The Council will be provided with a copy
of the updated information.

--.Qf.,,�Lot Z, lqck� A, Amended Sam
1rs 7, from C-2 (LocaL Commercial,) to I-1 (Industrial). Joe
Vining made the staff presentation. The area to be rezoned is
located east of Clark Street and south of Sam Bass Road. The
zoning change is from District C-2 (Local Commercial to District I-
1 (General Industrial). The change to I-1 zoning allows the site
and buildings to be utilized in a manner consistent with the
existing development, and should reduce the potential traffic
impact on Sam Bass Road. The long range land use policy for this
area designates the area for residential use or other appropriate
accessory uses. The proposed zoning change does not violate the
City's long range land use policy since the site is presently
developed in a manner consistent with the General Industrial
zoning.
Mayor Pro -tem Culpepper opened the public hearing. There
being no public testimony, the public hearing was closed.

The Round Rock City. Council met in a Special Called Work
Session on Thursday, August, 20, 1992 at 5:00 p.m. in the 3rd floor
conference room in -City Hall,, 221 E. Main Street.
ROLL CALL: Those members present were Mayor Mike Robinson,
Mayor Pro -tem Charles Culpepper, Councilman Robert Stluka,
Councilman Rod Morgan, Councilman Rick Stewart, Councilman. Earl
Palmer, and Councilman Jimmy Joseph. Also present was City
Manager Bob Bennett.
WORK SESSION
3A Consider discussion of financial matters, lona range
glanning and goal setting. Bennett noted items of discussion would
include: Budget Schedule; E.M.S. Team Report; Round Rock
Environmental Advisory Board; Advisory Committee on Aging; Drug
Task Force; Council's list for discussion; Bennett's list for
discussion; Goal setting; and City of Round Rock External Customer
Survey.
Budget Schedule
Bob Bennett informed the Council that since the proposed
budget includes a tax increase two Special Called Council meetings
would be needed.
David Kautz noted a Council meeting would need to be held on
Monday, August 24, 1992 to consider a resolution to place on the
agenda a proposed tax increase and schedule a public hearing. The
meeting on August 24, 1992 was scheduled for 7:45 a.m. The public
hearing was scheduled for September 3, 1992 at 7:00 p.m.
Bennett informed the Council that staff would be available to
meet with them individually to go over the budget.
Mayor Robinson said, "I would like to meet in the various
neighborhoods to discuss the budget."
E.M.S. Team Report
Bennettinformed the Council that Fire fighters Paul Reynolds
and Mark Selby were present to outline the results from the TQM
E.M.S. Team.
Reynolds reported that the purpose of the team was to review
and evaluate the Fire Department's current system of response to
medical assist calls in the City of Round Rock. He said, "The team
August. 20, 1992
examined current staffing of stations and apparatus, fire incident
statistics, response times and costs associated with the current
medical response system versus alternative means of response."
Dale Ricklefs presented control charts illustrating Round Rock
EMS response rates, contrasted with EMS response rates.
Selby outlined the cost figures associated with the current
medical response system versus alternative means of response.
In summary, Reynolds said, "The team feels that the way the
Fire Department is handling medical calls with the available
resources presently, is the best and most economical way to run
medical calls in the City. The team feels this because of the cost
of adding personnel to man new units and the cost of the new units
themselves. But in the future the Fire Department and City needs
to look into adding the personnel and equipment. Round Rock is a
progressive and innovative City on a growth trend. If we are to
deviate from our current procedures let us improve the service
rather than diminish the services provided."
In addition, "The team feels that some new teams need to be
formed. One team is needed to look into and review
dispatch/ communications functions for the entire City, and to
develop policies, procedures, and training in that area. The same
team or a new one is needed to look into the way information and
data is gathered and recorded." The Council discussed the various
findings of the report.
Round Rock Environmental ,Advisory .,.Board
Jim Nuse reported on the recommendations for the formation of
the Environmental Advisory Board.
The Council suggested that a -representative from the
residential and industrial solid waste contractor group be included
as a non-voting member of the Board.
The Council asked that an ordinance to create this Board be
brought back for action. They also asked that a letter be sent to
the Environmental Task Force to inform them of what is being done.
Advisory Committee on Aging,
Mayor Robinson pointed out the recommended proposal from the
Senior Citizens Think Tank for the creation of a Advisory Committee
on Aging. This committee would act as the official icial I iaison between
278
August 20, 1.992
the senior citizens and the City Council. It was noted that the
senior citizens would be meeting on August 27, 1992 at 1:30 p.m.
and possibly some of the Council or staff could attend that meeting
to discuss this issue.
Councilman Morgan asked staff to check if there were some type
of grant programs to fund a senior citizen center.
Drug Task Force
Chief Wes Wolff reported that he would be attending a school
that would help decide if a Drug Task Force was necessary. Chief
Wolff also reported that the drug dogs would be allowed in the high
schools and middle schools this year.
Bennett said, "Due to concerns expressed by the Council,
Charlie Crossfield of the City Attorney's office, needs to serve as
a liaison between the District Attorney and the City of Round Rock.
Crossfield would help relay any concerns to the District Attorney
that the Council might have.

RESOLUTIONS:
3A Consider a resolution placing a_proposal to adopt a tax
increase on the agenda for the September 3, 1992 Council meetlq
and to hold a public hearing thereon. David Kautz made the staff
presentation'. He informed the Council a public hearing will be
held on September 3, 1992 at 7:00 p.m. for the proposed tax
increase. The proposal is to increase total tax revenues from
properties on the tax roll in 1991 by 4.35 percent. The individual
taxes may be higher or lower, depending on the taxable value of the
property.
Kautz outlined the following table which compares taxes on an
average home in this taxing unit last year to taxes proposed on the
average home this year.
Last Year This year
Average hcme value $56,177 $59,989
General ex tions available
(amount available on the
average home, not including
senior citizen's or disabled
person's exemptions) _0- -0--
Average taxable value $56,177 $59,989
Tax rate.62479/$100 .62459/$100
Tax $350.98 $374.68
Under this proposal taxes on the average home would increase
by $23.70 or 6.75 percent compared to last year's taxes. Comparing
tax rates without adjusting for changes in property value, the tax
rate decreases by $0.0002 per $100 of taxable value or .032 percent
compared to last year's tax rate. This tax rate figure is not
adjusted for changes in the taxable value of property.
Kautz added the 4.3% increase would fund:
* three new police officers and related equipment';
* the compensation program implemented in April, 1992
* increased operating expenses such as the cost of
•
operating a new police facility;
* establishment of a personnel office
* an employee cost of living wage increase
If the new tax is adopted it would provide approximately tNM
same amount of revenue collected last yearl
RESOLUTION NO.
WHEREAS, the 1992-93 City of Round Rock budget as currently
proposed would require an increase in property taxes, and
WHEREAS, the Council wishes to hold a public hearing on the
proposal to increase taxes, and
WHEREAS, the Council wishes to place the proposal to adopt a
tax increase on a meeting agenda, Now Therefore
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROUND ROCK,
TEXAS,
That the Council will hold a public hearing on the proposal to
increase taxes at 7:00 o'clock p.m. on the 3rd day of September,
1992 in the Council Chambers at 221 East Main Street, Round Rock,
