development would be sensitive to it. Also, to continue to highlight the many
positive aspects of this area and the reasons why we enjoy living here." He thanked

Bill Koughan, 211 Round Rock Avenue, NPT member, expressed his support

address changes desired by residents in other areas." He added he felt a copy of the
draft Plan to those individuals in the proposed area affected should be distributed.

C-1 and a petition of individuals in that area who oppose the change from C-1.

proposed Conservation District. He also opposes the regulations of that district
because it restricts and regulates some of the C-1 businesses in the area.

Plan. She added that it was not meant to restrict but to direct. She said the Plan will
keep the children safe who live in this area.

consensus from all the neighbors.

corner of South Creek Drive at Gattis School Road was originally zoned District C-1
in August, 1984 and later was reclassified to District C-2. The applicant owns two
multi -family lots in South Creek Section 19; Lot 2, Block A-2.9 acres, and Lot 1, Block
B-7/5 acres. Those lots have been zoned for multi -family development since
September, 1984. The applicant wishes to rezone Lot 3, Block A (4.7 acres) from C-2
to MF in order to improve his proposed apartment complex especially that portion
that will be situated on the west side of South Creek Drive. This rezoning would
improve the quality of a significant apartment development that is already
imminent. The development would be a fairly low density apartment community
of 224 units on the combined 15.1 acres. This works out to 14.8 units per acre. This
community will be known as the Waterford at South Creek. The developer hopes to
offer larger than traditional units with an average size of over 1050 square feet.

in January, 1980. The applicant regards this corner lot more appropriately as a

requested zoning change from District I-1 (General Industrial) to District C-1
(General Commercial).

PROCLAMATIONS:
6.A. Consider proclamation proclaiming "Congressman Jake and Berg
Pickle Day." Mayor Culpepper read a proclamation in honor of Congressman and
Mrs. Pickle. Congressman Pickle is retiring from public service. The proclamation
will be mailed to the Pickle's.
PRESENTATIONS:
7.A. Consider a presentation concerning roadway priorities for Texas
Department of Transportation. Joe Vining made the staff presentation. The Austin
Transportation Study (ATS) approved their plan on December 18, 1994. It establishes
21
January 12, 1995
a number of roadway priorities for the Austin Metropolitan area. The ATS has
asked for projects for their Transportation Improvement Program which is like the
City's Capital Improvement Program. Staff would like to send ATS an official
statement of our priorities. Staff has had a number of meetings with District 14
representatives and they know some of the items that are important to our
community. A formal statement and resolution needs to be sent and be on record
supporting this project. Vining asked for the Council to contact him with their
roadway concerns and priorities. Some of the improvements are to relieve the
traffic congestion on RR620 at Chisholm Trail and the railroad tracks, finish
converting the frontage roads to one way and relocating the rest stops out of our
urban area into a rural area.
7.B. Consider a presentation from the Building Inspection Department
concerning smoke detectors and elimination of water and wastewater tap fees. Mark
Remmert, Chief Building Official, made the staff presentation. Some of the Codes
that the Building Inspection Department enforce pertain to fire safety issues. Even
though most of the language in these codes are specific, the exact location of smoke
detectors are not specified. To help protect citizens and clarify interpretation various
cities are drafting ordinances requiring smoke detectors in bedrooms of all single
and multi -family dwellings. On behalf of the Electrical Board, Fire Department, and
Building Inspection, staff asked the Council to consider an ordinance requiring
smoke detectors in bedrooms of all newly constructed single and multi -family
dwellings.
Regarding the elimination of water and wastewater tap fees, Remmert said,
"Occasionally, the City Water Line Maintenance Section does water and sewer taps."
The fee collected for this service rarely covers the cost of the tap and it places us in
competition with local plumbers. Staff believes that this is a service best provided by
the public sector. Staff recommended that this code provision be eliminated.
The Council and staff discussed the proposed requirement of smoke detectors.
Councilman Morgan expressed some of his concerns on the location of the smoke
detectors. This topic is to be researched further.
At this point Mayor Culpepper recognized the Mayor and City Council from
Excel City, Linda Wiley's class at Berkman Elementary. He noted they were delayed
22
January 12, 1995

Place 1, Michael Hetrick, Place 2, Frederick Johnson, Place 3, Jessica Wojcik, Place 4,
Liliana Pavlik, Place 5, and Crystal Kuhn, Place 6 introduced themselves and sat in
the seats that were provided for them. The Excel City Council thanked the Round
Rock City Council and staff for all their help and support. Mayor Brown asked the
Council to adopt them as their Daughter City.
Mayor Culpepper, with the consensus of the Council, said they would be
happy to adopt them as their daughter city and a proclamation stating that fact
would be placed on the next agenda.
PUBLIC HEARINGS: None

RESOLUTIONS:
10.A. Consider a resolution awarding the bid and authorizing the Mayor to

the staff presentation. On Tuesday, December 20, 1994, at 10:00 a.m. the City of
Round Rock received six (6) bids for the construction of Fire Station No. 4. This
station is to be constructed on Gattis School Road near Rusk Lane. The station
location was established to serve the southeast section of our City, including Oak
Bluff Estates and Round Rock Ranch thus improving response times to these areas.
Royce Construction of Round Rock submitted the lowest and best bid of $618,883.00.
Staff reviewed the bids and after checking references recommended award of the bid
to Royce Construction Company in the amount of $618,883.00.
Mayor Culpepper read the following resolution.
RESOLUTION NO.
WHEREAS, the City of Round Rock has duly advertised for bids for the
construction of Fire Station No. 4, and

10.B. Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to submit a request to the
Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs for Program Amendment #2
to Capital Fund Project Contract No. 703152. (Dell Computer Corporation) Joe
Vining made the staff presentation. The City, the consultant, and the engineer on
the Dell project all understood the agreement from last summer to be that the City's
match would be partially met by constructing the 16" waterline from Greenlawn
Boulevard around the perimeter of the Dell and Boardwalk sites to Corridor Park II.
However, the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA)
officials now claim that this waterline was not included in the contract. The contract
put the City's local match into other water and drainage improvements. The City
asked that this waterline be added to the contract as a correction and that the
engineering fees be increased for the design and construction of the waterline. The
waterline is needed to provide adequate water to the Dell building for proper fire
protection and will also serve other businesses in the area.
Mayor Culpepper read the following resolution.
RESOLUTION NO.
WHEREAS, the City has previously entered into a contract ("Contract") with
the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs ("Department") for the
Texas Capital Fund for an economic development program for Dell Computer
Corporation, and
WHEREAS, the City desires to amend the Contract, Now Therefore,

The Texas Natural Resource and Conservation Commission ("TNRCC") approved
the sale of assets by the Round Rock Water Supply Corporation ("RRWSC") to the
City. According to the TNRCC's regulations, any sale agreement should be entered
into after TNRCC approval. In order to conform to their regulations, TNRCC has
suggested that the City ratify the Sale and Purchase Agreement previously adopted

He added, to date, the total cost of acquiring the project to $694,000.00. This
represents about $9200 per acre that the City has jointly paid with the School District
for this property. Kautz noted the market in that area is approaching approximately
$54-55,000 an acre. The intent of the City is to improve this area with roads,
utilities, water, and wastewater utilities then sell a portion of it to the market.
Approximately 13 acres would be available for sale and the revenue that would be
generated would more than cover the entire sell price to date.

CITY OF ROUND ROCK RESOLUTION NO.
A JOINT RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCILS OF THE CITIES OF AUSTIN
AND ROUND ROCK TO REFRAIN FROM OFFERING TAX INCENTIVES TO
COMPANIES MOVING FROM ONE CITY TO THE OTHER AND TO COOPERATE
ON REGIONAL ISSUES.
WHEREAS, Travis and Williamson Counties are among the fastest growing
counties in the nation, and
WHEREAS, this growth has placed tremendous pressures on the governing
bodies of both Austin and Round Rock to increase revenues to maintain the quality
of governmental services, and
WHEREAS, in the past this pressure has resulted in the two cities competing
with each other for new industries, utility customers, and current and future tax
base,
WHEREAS, at times this competition has been counterproductive for
intergovernmental cooperation toward addressing regional issues that face both
cities, and
WHEREAS, both cities have worked together for more than ten years to plan
for the long-range wastewater treatment needs of the upper Brushy Creek Basin that
will culminate in the construction of a jointly owned and operated regional
wastewater treatment plant later this year, and
WHEREAS, both governing bodies also recognize the mutual benefits to be
derived from working together on a regional basis to provide for the future water
needs of the area, and
WHEREAS, both governing bodies desire to cooperate in the provision of
other governmental services such as fire and police protection, storm water
drainage, planning, and libraries, and
WHEREAS, both governing bodies wish to express their commitment to
intergovernmental cooperation to address regional issues, Now Therefore
February 2, 1995
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCILS OF THE CITIES OF AUSTIN AND
ROUND ROCK, TEXAS, THAT
Each Council hereby pledges not to offer economic incentives in the form of
tax abatements or sales tax sharing agreements to businesses seeking to move from
one of the cities to the other, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT
Each Council hereby pledges to cooperate with the other to develop regional
solutions to issues involving utilities and other government services.

PRESENTATIONS:
7.A. Consider a presentation concerning roadwaypriorities for the Texas
Department of Transportation. Joe Vining made the staff presentation. He
announced that with the help of County Commissioner Mike Heiligenstein, the
47
February 9, 1995
Austin Transportation Study (ATS) will hold a regular meeting at C.D. Fulkes
Middle School on Monday, February 13, 1995 at 6:00 p.m. Vining encouraged
everyone to attend the meeting and speak at the public hearing to get funding
allocated for special roads in our area. Vining used a map to point out the following
roadway priorities. He noted the projects were not in any type of priority order.
IH -35: Extend the six main lanes from FM3406 into Georgetown
IH -35: Remove rest stops by Westinghouse from the city limits
IH -35: Convert the frontage roads to one-way on the north side of the City
IH -35: Intersection improvements to IH-35/FM1325 to accommodate fast
industrial/ commercial growth
SH130 (Mokan): Assistance in right-of-way protection
SH130 (Mokan): Construction of US79 to SH45
SH45: Assistance in right-of-way preservation
SH45: Construction of frontage roads from FM1325 to Parmer Lane
' Arterial 2/Wyoming Springs: Connection from RM620 south to FM1325
Co. Rd. 122: Improved to four lane urban section from US79 to Gattis
School Road
Co. Rd. 122: Extend south to Louis Henna Boulevard (Co. Rd. 170)
FM3406: Extend FM designation westward to FM1431
FM3406: Preserve/ acquire right-of-way for a four lane roadway with a
center turn lane
FM3406: Interim improvements to provide safe turning movements for
developing subdivisions
US79: Increased usage of Old Settlers Park requires turn lane improvements
and traffic light
RM620: Improved railroad crossing at this intersection with Georgetown
Railroad
Mayor Pro -tem Stluka questioned the status of the turn lane improvements
on FM 3406. Vining said staff has not received a report on the study that was being
done by a subcommittee of the Highway Department.
Councilman Joseph asked if McNeil Road would be widened west of Round
Rock. Vining answered that the ATS plan calls for the continuation of a four lane
section from the city limits of Round Rock to Highway 183.
Mayor Culpepper said it was his understanding that all that had to be done to
get the frontage roads one way was to get a letter to Mr. Garbade stating so. That was
February 9, 1995
done and the Chamber of Commerce also sent a letter. Vining said the Highway
Department was provided with backup material that public hearings had been
conducted for converting the frontage roads to one way from FM1325 to
Westinghouse Road but we have not had a response from them. Vining concluded
that the Council will be provided a list of the roadway priorities so they can put
them in ranking order. A resolution listing the projects in priority will be brought to
the Council at their next meeting.

10.D. Consider a resolution regarding Invitation to Tender and Solicitation
for Consent relating to City of Round Rock Texas Golf Course Trust Certificates
Series 1989 and take any necessary action in connection with such Invitation to
Tender and Solicitation for Consent. Bob Bennett recognized Garry Kimball of First
Southwest Company who made the presentation. In December, the Council asked
First Southwest Company to go to the market with the Disclosure Document
requesting that bond holders, holders of the debt on the golf course at Forest Creek,
make concessions to the City in exchange for the City offering to buy back the
outstanding bonds of the golf course. Kimball said, "We are pleased to report that
tender was successful. The economics that are available would follow through on
the tender and allow the golf course to become self sufficient. There is an
opportunity at today's existing interest rates to bring the debt service on the golf
course down. There is an opportunity to save approximately $320,000 a year. We
believe that is the best opportunity available to the City to get the debt service
number as an expense component down at the golf course to allow the golf course to
stand on its own two feet financially." Kimball recommended not only to accept the
tender but take and defease the amount of bonds that were not tendered by way of a
deposit into an escrow account which would allow the release of reserve funds that
52
February 9, 1995
were set aside when the golf course was originally financed. This would all be done
by Certificates of Obligation issue. Kimball asked permission to proceed.
Mayor Culpepper read the following resolution.
RESOLUTION NO.

10Y. Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to enter into an interlocal
governmental agreement between Williamson County and the City for election
services. Joanne Land made the staff presentation. For several years now the City
and School have held a "modified" joint election where the same election judges
and polling places are used on election day. Now we would like to go to a complete
joint election with the Election Administrator of Williamson County actually
conducting the election for both entities. The contract sets out the duties and
responsibilities of Williamson County, the School District and the City in order to
hold the joint City/School May 6, 1995 election as conducted by the County's
Election Administrator. The four most significant changes to voters are as follows:
1) There will be only one ballot which will contain all candidates for the
School and all candidates for the City. This will allow the voter to
register only once at the polling place instead of twice thus simplifying
the voting process and reducing costs.
2) The City will add four new early voting places for our citizens. This
will be a real plus for everyone in the community. The change will
allow city voters to vote at the same locations as RRISD voters,
including locations outside the city that are convenient to city voters.
55
3)
4)
February 9, 1995
The five joint early voting sites will be:
a) City Hall, 221 East Main Street
b) RRISD Administration Building, 1311 Round Rock Avenue
c) Westwood High School, 12400 Mellow Meadow
d) Mobile East Location, Renaissance Square, 1401 South IH -35
e) Mobile West Location, 183 Wal -mart, 12300 Research Blvd.
Another major change is the early voting hours. This change will
allow the city and school voting hours to be as uniform as possible and
also allow city voters more evening and weekend opportunities to
vote. The hours for early voting will change to:
a)
b)
Mobile East and Mobile West
11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Weekdays
5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.

8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Weekdays
Saturdays
Weekdays through 4-28-95
May 1 & 2
The fourth change will change the polling location for City voters
living in County election precincts 340 and 345. The former location
was Round Rock High School and the new location will be Brushy
Creek Elementary. The change will permit voters in precincts 340 and
345 to go to only one location to vote in both the City and RRISD
elections.
Staff feels this is a real step forward in our election procedures will
significantly increase voter turnout. Because of the expanded early voting
opportunities, which significantly increase the amount of early voting personnel
needs, and because of the expected increase in the number of votes cast, the cost of
this year's election will be approximately $6,200.00. This is a very reasonable
amount in light of the increased voting opportunities for our citizens and is another
step in working closely with the school district. Staff recommended approval of the
contract.
Mayor Culpepper read the following resolution.

CITIZENS COMMUNICATIONS:
John Coburn, 1104 Green Valley Cove, informed the Council he received a
letter from the City stating he had violated the ordinance that prohibits the parking
of commercial vehicles in a residential area and was given a specific date to remove
the bread truck that he parks in his driveway. He said removing the truck would be
a problem because he has a large family, the youngest is two years old and the oldest
is handicapped, and the bread truck is his only means of transportation to and from
his place of employment. He said, "I understand the ordinance about parking in the
street but the only ordinance that I can see, at this time, that the City is using to not
allow me to park the truck at my home is the same ordinance that keeps any
individual in the City from parking a boat, motor home, or any vehicle of that
nature in their own driveway and this is being done all over the City with no
64
February 23, 1995
prosecution of any sort." Coburn distributed pictures of properties that have boats,
motor homes, and large vehicles parked in the driveways.
Mayor Culpepper asked staff to look into Mr. Coburn's concern.
Dorothy Vaughan Chavez, 4107 Mark Rae Drive, Austin, fifth grade teacher
and coordinator of the out door education program at Gattis Elementary, made the
following statement, "I speak to you tonight to request your assistance in saving a
small piece of the vanishing prairie. The twenty acres black land prairie remnant
just east of Gattis Elementary is the remaining fragment of 12 million acres that
once dominated the landscape from San Antonio north to the Texas border in 1845.
Texas entered the union as the largest prairie state. Now virtually nothing remains
except one half of one percent. The Mokan prairie is truly a remnant of the native
prairie in biological terms. A relic the citizens of Round Rock and the surrounding
area are fortunate to have this remaining small isolated track amid our developing
community and is of such high quality. This fact has been established by two of the
leading native prairie experts in Texas Dr. David Diamond, Coordinator of the Texas
Natural Heritage Program at the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and Dr. Fred
Smeins Professor in the Department of Range Land Ecology and Management from
Texas A&M University. Dr. Diamond made the following statement about the size
and quality of this land. 'Mokan Prairie is certainly one of the largest and best quality
native grasslands of its type in Travis County. I have visited a few other grasslands
in the area none was as big or as high quality as the Mokan Prairie.' Visualize the
history of this area, picture the buffalo and the antelope that once called the prairie
home now vanished. Call forth the indians that hunted and gathered in the prairie
and deeded it for their survival. They too have vanished. Visualized the settlers
who found this land a productive place to raise their families. For over 200 years the
black land prairie has been a natural resource to all that have called the area home.
The heritage passed down from my ancestors remains with us today. The land is
part of that heritage. What more significant gesture can this present generation
make than to preserve this well kept relic for future generations. A native prairie
park with nature trails and signage will be a living useful reminder of that heritage.
I respectfully request that the City of Round Rock enter into negotiations with the
City of Austin to find funding to purchase this high quality pristine prairie remnant.
February 23, 1995
The City of Austin first located this remnant in 1982 in their search for land to create
native prairie preserves and I know that interest is still alive. What better effort for
our two cities than to unite cooperatively in the quest to protect this native prairie
land. This initiative is supported by Deputy Commissioner John Hamilton of the
General Land Office who has committed $20,000 non -resource generating money to
buy the land for educational purposes and by Commissioner Mickey Burleson of the
Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD). TPWD will provide the matching
funds to purchase the land. Round Rock and the City of Austin hold the key to
making the Mokan Prairie a natural nature trail park a reality. I would like to
present you with letters from Dr. Diamond and Dr. Smeins along with letters of
appeal from my fifth graders at Gattis. Thank you for your consideration and of this
request. "
Margot Jones, 1337 Meadowild Drive, Gattis Elementary School, asked the
Council to save the Mokan Prairie.
Megan LaVoie, 1703 Fort Brant Cove, Gattis Elementary School, spoke in
support of saving the Mokan Prairie.
Brian Jewett, 11 Hillway, Gattis Elementary School, asked the Council to enter
into a cooperative agreement with the City of Austin for the purchase of the Mokan
Prairie.
Lee Stone, 3505 Lafayette Avenue, Austin, Board member of the Native
Prairies Association of Texas spoke on the Round Rock prairie of Gattis School Road
and gave a slide show of the Mokan Prairie.
Jerome Hundt, 1706 Apache Trail, Gattis Elementary School, spoke in support
of the Mokan Prairie.
Mayor Culpepper thanked everyone who attended the meeting in support of
the Mokan Prairie. He added Mayor Todd's office contacted Round Rock about
working together on securing some of this black land prairie.
Jim Barnes, 1102 Lakewood, presented a petition to the Council regarding no
parking on Lakewood Lane. He said, "The student parking on Lakewood Lane is
creating a problem for the residents. The students walk in flower beds, strip pecans
off trees, walk on lawns, throw trash on lawns and the street. Lakewood is too
narrow to handle that type of parking and speeding that goes on after school lets
February 23, 1995
out." He added the petition states the residents want no parking, during school
hours on Lakewood.
Mayor Culpepper recognized Officer Robert Lloyd. Officer Lloyd, along with
other law enforcement officers around Williamson County, received an award from
the District Attorney Ken Anderson for DWI enforcement. Officer Lloyd wrote 61
DWI's which is more than any other officer in the county. Mayor Culpepper
congratulated Officer Lloyd and added that this is the kind of police officer that
exemplifies our city and the police force.
PROCLAMATIONS:
6.A. Consider a proclamation proclaiming Black Leadership Awareness
Month. Mayor Culpepper read the proclamation and presented it to Erika Weeks,
senior at Round Rock High School. Mayor Culpepper recognized George Mooney,
TU Electric employee, who is involved in many ways with the community.
PRESENTATIONS:
7.A. Consider a presentation concerning limiting parking on both sides of
Lakewood Lane. Joe Vining made the staff presentation. The residents along
Lakewood Lane and Bonwood Drive would like to have the same type of "no
parking" restriction that now applies to Westwood Drive. According to the
residents, student parking in the Lake Creek West Subdivision has become a major
nuisance. Vining used an overhead transparency to show the existing and proposed
parking around the high school. The additional parking will provide some relief for
the neighborhood.
The Council and Vining discussed the parking problems around the high
school and the necessity of additional parking for the students.
Councilman Morgan asked if there was enough parking on the school
property to handle all the vehicles that are presently parking on the street.
Mayor Culpepper and Councilwoman Chavez answered no.
Councilwoman Chavez said there are parking areas where students are not
allowed to park because they are used by the faculty and administrative staff.
Jim Barnes, 1102 Lakewood said, "The residents of Lakewood have no
problem with the no parking status because if they have visitors they will let them
park in their driveways."
67
February 23, 1995
Debbie Hyatt, 112 Bonwood, clarified that there is a problem with the students
parking on the residential streets. She added that the parking on Lake Creek at
Bonwood is very dangerous because students park on that curve which obstructs the
view of oncoming traffic from either direction on Lake Creek. The students who
park on Lakewood can park on campus but they don't want to pay the $17 for a
parking permit. The additional parking area will not help unless the school district
lowers the cost of a parking permit.
Mayor Culpepper asked staff to look into the concerns and find some type of
solution and then report back to the Council.
Councilman Joseph suggested that parking be allowed on one side of the
street so emergency vehicles can get through.
7.B. Consider a presentation concerning the 800 Mhz radio system. Bob
Bennett made the staff presentation. Last summer the staff came to the Council
with information regarding RFP (Request For Proposal) that the City of Round Rock
had sent out to 800 Mhz radio vendors. The complexity of the project was such that
the Council instructed the staff to find out if we could bring on a consultant to help
review the proposals and make sure our RFP was correct and were doing the correct
thing. Greg Munchrath with Ram Communications Consultants, Inc. was present to
make his recommendation.
Greg Munchrath with RAM Communications Consultants, Inc. outlined the
attached letter of recommendation. (Exhibit "A") There was discussion between the
Council and Mr. Munchrath concerning the radio system. Some of the Council
expressed their concerns regarding Mr. Munchrath's recommendation.
7.C. Consider a presentation concerning the issuance of Certificates of
Obligation for specific City projects. David Kautz made the staff presentation.
Certificates of Obligation are ultimately backed by a pledge of taxes by the City of
Round Rock. They provide the City with flexibility to finance important projects
within a specific time frame at the most favorable tax exempt interest rates. Staff
proposed to bring to the Council's next meeting a proposal to issue or seek
authorization to issue Certificates of Obligation for the following projects.
Estimated Financing
Re -finance Forest Creek Golf Course. This refinancing
method reduces the annual cost of operating the golf
e
• M
February 23, 1995
course by approximately $300,000.
$6,050,000.00
Yard Site Purchase.
To reimburse the City for fronting the cost of the yard
site purchase which is a piece of property jointly
purchased with the RRISD. $350,000.00
Yard Site Improvements. (utilities, road)
This cost covers the City's share of subdividing the site,
designing/ installation of water/ wastewater utilities
and design/ installation of the main road serving the
site. 380,000.00
Yard Site Improvements (facilities)
The cost covers the City share of structural improvements
for the joint use vehicle wash and fueling facilities, covered
storage for equipment and materials and associated paving. 700,050.00
Fire Truck (1500gpm engine)
This proposed engine would be housed in the new Fire Station
on Gattis School Road and would further allow the 1981
Seagraves to be placed in reserve status. The cost provides
a fully equipped new truck with arrival to coincide with
the station completion in August. 200,000.00
General projects financing $1,630,050.00
Costs of issuance and contingency estimates will add another 1% to 2% to the total
issuance. Based on preliminary information from the County Appraisal District, if
this transaction is approved, the calculated tax rate would continue to be below the
effective tax rate due to growth in retail sales tax revenue. An item that is not listed
on the proposal is the radio system project which has a budget amount of
approximately $1.3 million. It will be financed, after the Councils selection, with a
lease/purchase arrangement and added to this proposal to get the cost benefits
associated with this type of financing however, if the project is not ready at the time
financing the City will not loose any types of economies of scale or flexibility.
7.D. Consider a presentation concerning the request from Texas Crushed
Stone to extend their industrial district agreement for an additional seven (7) years.
Bob Bennett made the staff presentation. Texas Crushed Stone operates inside
an industrial district that the City of Round Rock created many years ago when
Westinghouse came to town. The land was sold from Westinghouse to the owners
of Texas Crushed Stone some years back. Texas Crushed Stone requested that their
Industrial District, approximately 3,000 acres, be extended an additional seven (7)
years. If the District is extended, the City would be unable to annex into the area for
seven (7) years. Mr. Snead is willing to donate to the City or make a payment in lieu
Me

of taxes ten acres of new land next to the water plant for expansion of the plant,
easements necessary for the City's new raw water line, a $30,000 contribution to the
City, and work with the City on establishing a new fill area around Granger that
would create scalp dirt in our recycling effort. A resolution will be brought back to
the Council when all the specific have been addressed. The total estimated cash
value of Mr. Snead's contribution would be at least $150,000.

might approach this by looking at the cooperative effort with what is already going
on in the County. To see what in fact the savings might be because we received
some estimates tonight that do not give us the full picture if we go to a cooperate
effort with other entities in this county. This recommendation is because I still
don't feel at ease about all the economy of scales being thoroughly addressed and the
fact that these original RFP's are in fact a year old,"
Mayor Culpepper said, "I think its probably incumbent upon those of us who
vote against this to put our concerns in writing and pass them on to the City
Manager and move forward."
Councilman Joseph said, "Maybe we can get the school district involved in
this jointly to bring the cost of the system down.

10.H. Consider a resolution approving a 1994-1995 budget for child safety
79
February 23, 1995
fines. Joanne Land made the staff presentation. The Legislature enacted a statute
which designates that all revenues that are received from school zone offenses be
placed in a special account. These revenues are to go directly to improvements in
the school zones. Over the last 18 months this account has grown to approximately
$10,000. In order to spend the money, a team consisting of representatives from
Municipal Court, Police, Planning and Streets developed the budget which
recommended spending $5044.00 for improvements to Gattis School Road school
zone. These improvements are for two electric meter loop poles, two flashing signal
lights, two 20 mph with arrows for side street signs. All of the prices include
installation. The City put flashing school zone signs on Sunrise Road which is a
major City maintained arterial. Since installing those improvements, tickets issued
have decreased dramatically which means revenues have gone down but that the
improvements are working. We anticipate by installing the same improvements
on Gattis School Road, another major City maintained arterial, we will accomplish
the same goal. The team felt it important to go ahead and address the Gattis School
Road signs now since the road improvements are occurring and because Gattis
School Road is the only other major City maintained arterial where school zones
exist. Further recommendations for other school zone improvements will be
brought back to the Council after developing some additional criteria for streets
other than major arterial. This criteria should be completed within the next two
months.
Councilman Morgan asked if the $2,000 was the market rate for flashing
lights. Land responded that it was and that is why they have not been able to put
them up in every school zone. Presently, the school district pays for the crossing
guards.
Mayor Culpepper read the following resolution.
RESOLUTION NO.
WHEREAS, Art. 102.014 of the Code of Criminal Procedure provides that the
City shall collect $20.00 as taxable court costs from persons convicted of certain
offenses related to school crossing zones, and
WHEREAS, the said Article also provided that all sums so collected shall
either be used for a school crossing guard program, if the City operates one, or
expended for programs designed to enhance child safety, health, or nutrition,
including child abuse prevention and intervention and drug and alcohol abuse
prevention, and
WHEREAS, the City Council wishes to approve a budget for the expenditure
February 23, 1995
of such funds, Now Therefore
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROUND ROCK,
TEXAS,
That the attached budget for the expenditure of the funds as described above is
hereby approved.

CITIZENS COMMUNICATIONS:
Dale Duncan, 1106 Green Valley Cove, asked that the Council consider the
safety of residents that live next to a resident that parks a large commercial vehicle
on City streets or driveways. He commented on the previous presentation that his
next door neighbor made to the Council (February 23, 1995) regarding the
commercial vehicle his neighbor parks in his driveway. Mr. Duncan said the
vehicle is a safety hazard for himself and his neighbors and wanted this vehicle
removed and prohibited. It obstructs his vision as he exits his driveway and cuts
down on visibility for the neighbors when it is parked on the street and driveway.
He asked the Council to consider an ordinance that would prohibit only very large
commercial vehicles that dangerously obstruct the view of the residents. Mr.
Duncan provided photos of the truck and petitions from his neighbors that support
March 9, 1995
his concern.
Steve Sheets said his office researched this concern and could not locate a
provision to address it. The Council could adopt an ordinance that prohibits the
parking of commercial vehicles in all residential subdivisions but then enforcement
would become the issue.
Mayor Culpepper informed Mr. Duncan that staff will continue to review his
concern and get back to him. He asked Mr. Duncan and his neighbors to try to work
toward a solution instead of having the Council another law.
Douglas Hearn, 5 Woodland Loop, expressed his concern, of the staff
recommendation that will be forwarded to the Highway Department, regarding
County Road 122. He said he supported the upgrade of the road but does not agree
with the four lane arterial designation that is recommended because of the safety
issues and problems it will create for the current residents. He asked that the road
be designated a two lane minor arterial with each lane being extra wide so it can be
used as a turning lane. Mr. Hearn used photos and graphs to explain his position.
PROCLAMATIONS: None
PRESENTATIONS:
7.A. Consider a presentation concerning an agreement with OMI, Inc. for the
regional wastewater plant. Jim Nuse made the staff presentation. The City's
wastewater treatment plants are scheduled to be expanded. In order to insure that
the plants continue to meet discharge requirements during the construction period,
staff recommended that the coverage be increased. Currently, both plants are
manned 16 hours per day during week days and 8 hours per day on weekends.
Utilizing existing staff with no overtime, coverage can be increased during week
days to 21 hours per day. Staff review several options to handle the weekend hours.
Those were hiring new staff, overtime, and contract operations. Staff recommended
that Operations Management International, Inc. (OMI, Inc.) be contracted to provide
an additional 10 hours per day coverage on Saturday and Sunday between 4:00 p.m.
and 2:00 a.m. This coverage will insure that the plants continue to meet the
requirements set by TNRCC and provide a good quality effluent to the area and
neighborhood and prevent any upsets to the plant during that period. Nuse went
over the following specifics of the proposed agreement:
March 9, 1995
• The City will pay OMI $3,6000.00 per month for services performed under the
agreement.
• OMI will supply services of an operator, licensed to operate wastewater
treatment plants in the State of Texas at Class "C" level or higher.
• OMI will provide services of an Operations Specialist, for the purpose of
consultation regarding treatment plant operations.
• Breakdown of costs between Operating personnel and Operations Specialist
assistance, and between Labor/Fringes and Overhead, are as follows:
Operator Operations Specialist
Labor/Fringes $2,000 $640
Overhead 960 -0-
Totals $2,960 $640
• This agreement may be terminated for convenience upon written notice by
either party.
7.B. Consider a presentation concerning extending utility service outside the
city limits to Billy Braxdale. Jim Nuse made the staff presentation. Billy Braxdale,
owner of property at 20 Timberline Drive, Lot No. 5, Hidden Acres, Unit 2, requested
water and wastewater service for this lot. This lot is outside the City limits but the
lots across the street from this property are in the City. He said that the Planning
Department expressed a concern about annexing one lot due to difficulty in
providing Police and Fire service. Since this area will be annexed some time in the
future Nuse recommended that Mr. Braxdale be allowed to connect to City service
in accordance with Section 10.103 of the City Code. This item will be brought back for
Council action in two weeks.
Councilman Morgan asked that the other residents of Timberline Drive be
contacted to see if they wish to also be connected to City services and annexed.
7.C. Consider a presentation concerning limiting parking on Lakewood Lane
and Bonwood Drive. Joe Vining made the staff presentation. The residents along
Lakewood Lane and Bonwood Drive would like to have the same type of "no
parking" restriction that now applies to the Westwood Drive. According to the
residents, student parking in the Lake Creek West Subdivision has become a major
nuisance and safety issue. Residents of Lakewood Lane and Bonwood Drive recently
AM•
March 9, 1995
submitted a petition requesting the no parking designation on their street. The City
of Houston and the Houston ISD had a similar problem which was solved by
creating a parking district that uses medallions for vehicles of residents around the
schools. Vehicles without the medallions would be issued a parking citation. This
type of partnership seems to be the solution to our parking problem. A parking
district could be created as an alternate plan to restrict parking in this neighborhood.
The school district has a limited plan for parking spaces and is in the process of
building parking spaces but in the short term staff recommended that parking be
prohibited on Lakewood Lane and Bonwood Drive. Staff asked that they be allowed
to proceed with the details of creating a parking district with the use of medallions
for resident parking and to review how this district would affect the City budget and
residents around the school. Vining added that Councilwoman Chavez expressed
concern with the students not being allowed to park on the street because of the
limited number of spaces available on high school property but the area residents
did submit a valid petition and this short term solution can solve their traffic safety
concerns. Staff will work cooperatively with the high school on how to maximize
their parking and on a long term solution throughout the summer for next
semester.
Mayor Culpepper said the district would have to incorporate Lake Creek
Drive, Deepwood Drive and all those streets south of the high school.
Mayor Pro -tem Stluka asked staff to see if the marching band area can be used
for parking.
PUBLIC HEARINGS:
8.A. Consider public testimony concerning designating 5.00 acres of land
beim; all of Lot 5A of the Replat of Lot 5 Oakmont Center Section 7 as
Reinvestment Zone No. 7 for commercial/industrial tax abatement (CINTAS
Corporation). Phil Brewer, 212 E. Main Street, Round Rock Chamber of Commerce,
reported that CINTAS is relocating to Round Rock and building a new facility of
approximately 40,000 square feet in the Oakmont Center Industrial Park. CINTAS is
a quality company and it is the kind of company Round Rock wants. Business Week
listed CINTAS as one of the top six service companies in America. CINTAS is one of
the fifteen (15) companies listed by Forbes Magazine as the Best of the Best 200 Small
March 9,1995
Companies in America. When the United Stockholders Association ranked a
thousand of the largest publicly traded companies, they ranked CINTAS as number
twenty-five (25). CINTAS first contacted Round Rock in November 1992. CINTAS
proposes to build a 40,000 square foot facility that will be used to process rental
uniforms including laundering, sortation, finishing and mending operations. The
processing facility will be equipped with industrial washing machines, gas fired
industrial dryers, conveying systems, processing and finishing stations. The facility
will be able to accommodate 14,000 square feet of future expansion. CINTAS will
employ over 100 people at full operation. The company will operate two shifts per
day, 5 days per week. The capital investment in this project is about 4.5 million
dollars, $2.5 million in facilities and about $2.0 million in equipment. Brewer
requested that the Council create Reinvestment Zone No. 7 which would allow the
City to offer tax abatement to this company. The abatement will be for three years
and would be structured on a 90% first year, 60% second year, and 30% third year.
The total amount of tax dollars being abated on this project is approximately $39,000.
Over this same three year period the amount of projected sales tax revenues that the
City will receive in new sales tax revenues in going to be about $273,000.
Robert Schoonover, representative of CINTAS, was present to answer the
Council's questions.
Mayor Culpepper opened the public hearing. There being no public
testimony, the public hearing was closed.
ORDINANCES:
9.A. Consider an ordinance designating _5 00 acres of land being all of Lot 5A
of the Renlat of Lot 5 Oakmont Center Section 7, as Reinvestment Zone No. 7 for
commercial/industrial tax abatement (CINTAS Corporation). (First Reading) Joe
Vining made the staff presentation. This ordinance was preceded by the public
hearing regarding the designation of 5.00 acres of land in the Oakmont Industrial
Park as Reinvestment Zone No. 7. When a reinvestment zone is created there are
certain steps that are required by the State. Those are:
a) That a public hearing on the adoption of the reinvestment zone has
been properly called, held, and conducted and that notices of such hearing have
been published as required by law and mailed to all taxing units overlapping the
91.
March 9,1995
territory inside the proposed reinvestment zone;
b) That the boundaries of the reinvestment zone should be the area as
described in Exhibit A of the notice;
c) That the creation of the reinvestment zone for commercial/ industrial
tax abatement with boundaries as described will result in benefits to the City and to
the land included in the zone and the improvements sought are feasible and
practical;
d) That the reinvestment zone as defined meets the criteria for the
creation of a reinvestment zone as set forth in Section 312.202 of the Code in that it
is reasonably likely as a result of the designation to contribute to the retention or
expansion of primary employment or to attract major investment in the zone that
would be a benefit to the property and that would contribute to the economic
development of the City; and
e) That the reinvestment zone as defined meets the criteria for the
creation of a reinvestment zone as set forth in the City of Round Rock criteria and
guidelines adopted by Ordinance No. G -93-12-09-9G.
The tax abatement agreement will be presented to Council at their March 23,
1995 meeting along with the second reading of this ordinance.

at Palm Valley. The exchange includes:
1) 10+ acres presently referred to as the YMCA property would become
City property;
2) 2+ acres that the Palm House sets on would go to the Old Settlers
Association; and

course portion of the debt) and property tax (for the General portion of the debt).
Because of increased Sales Tax Revenue and additions of new property to the tax
rolls, the Property Tax Rate is expected to decline below the Effective Tax Rate for
next year in consideration of the above debt issuance.
Garry Kimball of First Southwest Company, the City's Financial Advisors,
informed the Council of market conditions and the affect of this transaction on the
City's credit rating. The sale date was set for March 28th at 5:30 p.m. at which time a

PRESENTATIONS:
7.A. Consider presentation by the Texas A & M forestry department concerning the tree
inventory and protection plan. Sallie Burchett, Planner, introduced Mary Carroll
Swearingen,Texas A & M graduate student. Ms. Swearingen made a presentation concerning the
inventory of certain municipal trees that was done in the fall of 1994 by students of the forestry
department. Ms. Swearingen, Ginny O'Fiel and Jeff Walton along with undergraduates Chris
Kirk, Brent Frazier, and Ed Hulsey and other students participated in the study. Last year, Dr.
Mike Walterscheidt was called by the City to have some of the municipal trees inventoried. Dr.
Walterscheidt was the students forestry professor, Associate Department Head for Extension and
Program Leader for Forestry and has since retired. Students determined species of trees, measured
and evaluated them. The data was taken back to College Station and a report was prepared on the
results and recommended actions. Ms Swearingen described the ten most common tree species,
their size, conditions and injuries of the trees, and maintenance needs. She informed the Council
that there are four sources that can help these trees: a) private citizens could hire their own arborists
or the City could establish a forestry position; b) an electric utility company can perform line
clearance work on some trees; c) the Extension Service of A&M has three persons who can help;
and d) Texas Forest Service provides Amy Schultz as consultant for this area. Ms. Swearingen
offered the following recommendations:
1. Prioritized today's needs.
2. Prevent future problems immediately, thus saving headaches and dollars.
110
March 23, 1995
3. Ready-made tree management programs are available for the City's GIS
(Computerized geographic information system) or the City can create their own
computer program for tree management.
4. Trees can be planted in such a way that the temperature is lowered a few degrees in
the downtown area.
5. Trees and shrubs planted in stream side management zone may be able to keep the
water cleaner in Brushy Creek.
6. Plan now to pamper tree roots, to preserve historic trees.
7. Look into some of which can help with money, such as; America The Beautiful,
Tree City USA, National Tree Trust for highways, and Small Business
Administration grants.
8. Enjoy celebrating Round Rock's own Arbor Day.
Ms. Swearingen said, "We believe Round Rock would benefit from installing carefully
selected species of trees in available spaces along the streets and along Brushy Creek."
Bob Bennett asked if the study specifically noted the location of the trees that are in poor
health and/or need to be removed. Ms Swearingen said, "That information was given to the
Planning Department."
7.B. Consider a presentation concerning extending utility services outside the City limits
to property located on Wildflower Drive. Jim Nuse made the staff presentation. A request for City

City's operating funds had a substantial performance with regard to strengthened fund balances,
strengthened working capital, continued improvement in operating ratios, and favorable budget
performance as well as net income for the period ended.
Mike Swayze of Pena Swayze & Company, the City's auditors, gave a report from the
111
March 23, 1995

that the audit was completed in accordance with general accepted auditing standards and that the

restricted duty by a medical doctor can result in the employee
being transferred to another division or to another job within
his/her division for the duration of the restricted duty. The
decision to transfer an employee on restricted duty to another
division or to another job within his/her division is made by
the employee's division head, the division head in charge of the
division the transfer is proposed for, and the Assistant Chief of
Police. Employees placed on any type of restricted duty for
medical reasons are returned to full duty only upon written
medical release from the treating physician.

the position will be posted in designated areas of the
department for a period of ten (10) calendar days.

Richard Ehrlich, 810 Clearwater Trail, representing the Youth Commission, reported that
Project Summertime, which was initiated last summer, will be continued this summer by the
YMCA. The YMCA will supervise the afternoon activities for children age 5-12. He added that the
Youth Commission would like to initiate a Summer Jobs for Teens campaign. The campaign
would have four elements:
1. A Summer Jobs for Teens hot line for teens to register for summer jobs and for
employers to list summer jobs.
2. A computerized data base to match teens and employers.
3. A concerted city-wide effort to generate summer jobs for teens.
4. A publicity campaign to encourage teens to apply for summer jobs.
Dale Ricklefs offered a room at the Library for this project. Bob Bennett offered a telephone line
for the duration of the campaign. Dell Computer donated a computer and Pat Patterson of the
Volunteer Center is locating volunteers to transcribe voice mail messages and information from
prospective employers into the database. Ehrlich asked the Council to officially endorse the
Summer Jobs for Teens campaign and to persuade employers and citizens to hire teens this
summer. Another project the Youth Commission is considering is a tee shirt silk screen business
for middle school youths. The shirts would be sold to the PTA's or Booster Club's at the various
schools. Ehrlich asked the Council to allocate $4,000 to the YMCA for the employment of middle
school youths to operate computer labs and projects that could be carried out with adult supervision
at the YMCA.
Mayor Culpepper asked that a resolution to support the Summer Jobs for Teens campaign
be placed on the next agenda and authorized the City Manager to provide the $4,000 as requested
by Mr. Ehrlich.
SPECIAL RECOGNITION:
6.A. Consider recognition of Ida K. Strickler's 102nd Birthday. This item was
addressed after item 4.
PROCLAMATIONS: None
PRESENTATIONS:
8.A. Consider a presentation concerning a proposed County Exposition Center.
Councilman Palmer read the following prepared statement: "Williamson County wants to
build an Exposition Center to replace the old show barn in Georgetown with one that will
accommodate the increased population in the county and also to add other facilities. The study
committee visited several sites to determine our wants and needs for the county. We found out that
most places had facilities to hold the county fairs and host all kinds of events. It was common to
hear that their buildings would have between 300 to 400 event days a year after people found out
about these facilities. Of course, it takes development and professional management to make them
successful. The committee recommends the space needed is at least 60 acres and that there should
132
April 13, 1995
be three different facilities.
1. Exhibit Hall of about 20,000 square feet which will be multi-purpose with air
conditioning, vinyl floors, breakout rooms and uses will be for dances, vendor
exhibits, gun shows, large or small meetings, and so forth.
2. A 100,000 square foot multi-purpose building that will have roll up doors for
ventilation, approximately one half will be concrete floor and the other half will be
dirt floor. A portion will have posts and the rest will be free span. This will be the
animal building with portable stalls that can be removed for concerts, cowboy
jubilee, even possibly Frontier Days activities and many of the larger shows that
may come around.
3. A large covered arena for rodeos that will seat 6,000 people. It would have
permanent fences, bleachers, and box seats. The covered area will be 350 feet by
450 feet. The arena will be 150 feet by 250 feet, large enough to allow all riding
events, and skill events and would even be bigger than the Travis County arena.
The way this project would proceed is that cities of Round Rock and Georgetown be
requested to equally purchase the 60 acres of land on the southeast corner of Westinghouse Road
and IH -35. The cost is about $17,500 an acre. The County Commissioners would build the
facilities and take up the slack in its operation. it is proposed that an organization be established to
oversee the operation. It is proposed that an organization be established to oversee the operation
and the organization would be formed by representatives that use the facilities, perhaps called the
Williamson County Fair Association. As indicated before, it would be professionally managed.
County Commissioner Boartright has asked for a letter of interest. This will be placed on the City
Council agenda when have a better figure on the cost of the land have been received."
Mayor Culpepper and Mayor Pro -tem Stluka thanked Councilman Palmer for the good job
he is doing on this proposed project.
8.B. Consider a presentation by Allen Baca of the Advisory Board for the Aging
concerning a Daffodil Program. Allen Baca presented details concerning a Daffodil Program that
was endorsed by the Advisory Board for the Aging. The purpose of this project is to establish an
annual event that senior citizens can sponsor and earn recognition from the community. Daffodils
were selected because once planted, they require almost no care at any time in the future and can be
planted almost anywhere. This planned senior citizen event would be sponsored primary by the
Round Rock Senior Citizens Foundation. They would contact businesses and organizations and
invite them to participate in the fall planting phase of the program which will be in December. At
least 50,000 bulbs will be needed for the first year. Bulb orders may be placed in advance by
contacting the Round Rock Senior Citizens Foundation in Senior/Community Center.
The Council gave their consensus on the Senior Citizen Daffodil program.
8.C. Consider a presentation concerning negotiations with Camp Dresser McKee for
133
April 13, 1995

requested authorization to begin negotiations with CDM for engineering services. Six firms were
initially selected of which three finalists were chosen for interviews. Staff established a point
system for evaluating each firm and ranked CH2M-Hill and HDR as No. 2 and 3, respectively. If
negotiations are unsuccessful with CDM, staff may begin negotiations with No. 2 candidate.
8.D. Consider a presentation regarding reciprocating the licensing of master and
journeymen electricians with the City of San Marcos. Jim Nuse made the staff presentation. For
the last several years Round Rock and San Marcos have reciprocated the licensing of master and
journeymen electricians, although no formal agreement was on file. At the recommendation of the
City of San Marcos Electrical Board, staff requested that the Council consider entering into a
written agreement with San Marcos for the licensing of electricians.
8.E. Consider a presentation regarding an interconnect with City of Austin Water Utility.
Jim Nuse made the staff presentation. He explained the alignment and cost of the project. The

an additional year (until the end of 1995) to complete the required improvements. She based her
request on the Mays and Round Rock Avenue construction impact on her property. The owner

make all the improvements at once. Staff granted the request. Staff extended the period one year

The Round Rock City Council met in Work Session on Thursday, May 11, 1995 at 6:00

ROLL CALL: Those members present were Mayor Charles Culpepper, Mayor Pro -tem
Robert Stluka, Councilman Rod Morgan, Councilman Rick Stewart, Councilman Earl Palmer,
Councilwoman Martha Chavez and Councilman Jimmy Joseph. Also present were City Manager
Bob Bennett, Assistant City Manager/City Secretary Joanne Land and City Attorney Steve Sheets.
WORK SESSION:
3.A. Consider discussion regarding the proposed 800 Mhz radio system. David Kautz
made the staff presentation. The purpose of this item was to update the Council on an 800 Mhz
radio system for City departments. Staff met with Motorola representatives for the purpose of
developing the regional aspects of a radio communication system for the City.
Mayor Pro -tem Stluka said, "The reason that we are at this point in this discussion which
involves Motorola is that, because of our earlier action as a Council, we asked staff to pursue
looking at the advantages and benefits of doing a multi -entity system. Because of what
Georgetown was already doing which was leaning towards Motorola or already involved with
Motorola and that our waiting to see what the County was going to do. All of this really leads to
the event that involves the particular vendor in this case."
Greg Munchrath of RAM Communications, the City's radio system consultant, gave an
update on the radio project and the progress made. Munchrath informed the Council that
Williamson County voted to proceed with negotiations with Motorola and share the Georgetown
radio system. This action sets the stage for some similar sharing on a county wide basis with the
City of Round Rock as well. The plan at this point is an evolving plan. Prior to the County making
their decision there was some uncertainty as who among the three players would be involved in
that system. Some of the offerings that have been provided by Motorola were based on each entity
participating on their own and there is some overlap in those offerings at this point. Now that there
is going to be a shared system one of the things that will be done will be to eliminate the overlap
areas since this will be a shared arrangement and that will help generate some cost savings. The
plan at this point is to build the consolidated system on the foundation that Georgetown has.
Georgetown has a five channel trunk radio system currently in operation. Williamson County does
not at this moment have frequencies but they are going to begin application for five frequencies of
their own immediately and that will be added to the system in Georgetown which will ultimately
increase their existing system from five channels to ten channels. Round Rock has five frequencies
licensed and should begin the process of modifying its license. Once those licenses have been
modified and the City has authorization to operate their channels at the shared facility that will
provide a fifteen channel base system for the three entities to share. There is a plan to develop a
shared backup site and that will be at the County's new maintenance facility they are developing. It
will probably be a 500 foot tower that will provide good coverage throughout the county.
157
May 11, 1995
Mayor Pro -tem Stluka asked that any additional equipment which is needed for this multi -
entity system, which was not in the original RFP, be noted with an explanation for the need.
The Council and Munchrath discussed certain aspects, concerns, and benefits of the
system.
Mayor Culpepper asked staff, with the consent of all the Councilmembers present, to give
their presentations on the following agenda items.
12.A. Consider a presentation and update concerning the blackland prairie grass
preservation project. Sharon Prete made the staff presentation. The City of Austin and the City of
Round Rock are pursuing the acquisition and preservation of approximately 16 acres of blackland
prairie, off Gattis School Road. Austin is in the process of identifying funds to purchase the
property. Once the source is identified, both cities will enter into an intergovernmental agreement
which address acquisition, maintenance and operation. The property will be purchased and held by
the National Land Trust, because the cities cannot own the land prior to grant submittal. Both
cities will jointly apply for a Local park Fund Grant using Austin money as the match. If the grant
is approved, Round Rock would be asked to repay half of the "matching" funds at some future
date. If the grant is not approved, Austin will pay the full cost of the land with the expectation that
at some future point, Round Rock would reimburse Austin half the cost of the land. The City of
Round Rock in cooperation with the Native Prairie Association of Texas will maintain and operate
the preserve. The cost to the City would be minimal.
The Council asked Prete to continue working with the City of Austin.
12.B. Consider a presentation on the proposed speed hump program. Joe Vining made
the staff presentation. Staff examined various traffic control programs from Texas cities. Each of
those cities is experimenting with the installation of speed humps. A speed hump is a gradual rise
and fall in the pavement across the full width of the street. It differs from a speed bump in that the
bump is taller and only one to three feet wide. The installation of speed humps as a traffic control
device requires the same kind of responsibility on the part of the City as any other traffic signal or
signs. Certain eligibility requirements must be established in order to provide citizens with the
kind of safe, well-managed programs they expect. All of the following criteria should be satisfied
for a street to be considered eligible for speed hump installation.
A. A signed petition by the neighborhood association president or in the absence of a
neighborhood association, by the requester or the contact person representing the neighborhood,
documenting that at least two-thirds of all households and businesses adjacent to the project street
support the installation of speed humps.
B . Operational and Geometric Characteristics of the Street are:
1. The street shall provide access (via a driveway or on -street parking) to
abutting residential and/or commercial properties (residential local or
collector streets). Residential properties include multiple dwellings such as
apartment complexes.
2. The street shall not have more than one traffic lane in each direction.
158
May 11, 1995
3. The street shall have a posted or prima facie speed limit of 30 mph or less as
determined in accordance with the State Law.
4. The speed humps shall not be located in a horizontal curve, on vertical
curves where visibility of the hump is restricted, or on the approaches to
these curves.
5. The street should have curb and gutter. Consideration may be given to
streets without curb and gutter. In such cases, special care must be used to
accommodate drainage and prevent vehicle; run-arounds.
6. The speed humps should not be considered on a street where a fire station is
located.
Staff is still considering ways to prioritize project requests and ways to assign cost
responsibility.
The Council and Vining discussed various points that would need to be considered in
establishing this type of program.
Mayor Culpepper said one process of this program is that the Planning staff should meet
with the neighborhood residents requesting the speed hump and explain what it would involve.

PUBLIC HEARINGS:
13.A. Consider public testimony concerning the request filed by James V Southern and
Thomas C. Southern to adopt original zoning of District SF -2 (Single Family -Standard Lot) on
34.2456 acres of land and District SF -1 (Single Family -Large Lot) on 13.8305 acres of land
(Southern Tract: Forest Bluff Subdivision) Joe Vining made the staff presentation. This tract of
land is currently known as the Southern Tract, will be developed as the Forest Bluff Subdivision.
It is located south of Highway 79 and west of County Road 122. This is a single family
development of large lots in the southern portion of the tract and standard lots in the northern
portion. The zoning proposal for this development is consistent with the land uses approved with
the concept plan. The centerline of Forest Creek Drive south the requested zoning is for District
SF -1 (Single Family -Large Lot and from the centerline north it is District SF -2 (Single
160
May 11, 1995
Family -Standard Lot).
Mayor Culpepper opened the public hearing. There being no public testimony, the public
hearing was closed.
13.B. Consider public testimony concerning the request filed by Round Rock ISD to
adopt original zoning of District SF -2 (Single Family -Standard Lot) on 32.584 acres of land.
(New Middle School) Joe Vining made the staff presentation. This tract of land is the future site
of the Round Rock Northeast Middle School. It is located east of Sunrise Road and south of the
proposed extension of Bowman Road. The zoning proposal for this development is consistent with
the land uses approved with the concept plan. Staff recommended approval of the SF -2 (Single
Family -Standard Lot) original zoning on this tract of land.
Mayor Culpepper opened the public hearing. There being no public testimony, the public
hearing was closed.
13.C. Consider public testimony concerningthe he request filed by Jack H. Holt to rezone a
110.139 acre tract of land from District I-2 (Industrial Park) to District I-1 (General Industrial).
Joe Vining made the staff presentation. This tract is located east of IH -35 and bounded by McNeil
Road. It was originally zoned I-2 because of the I-35 frontage and the previous owners had
developed plans to reclaim large portions of the flood plain. The current owner and prospective
owner, Cypress Semiconductor, believe that the flood plain reclamation is not worthwhile given
the large expense. Because 73% of the site is flood plain, the I-2 setbacks all but renders the site
undevelopable. This zoning change complies with the General Plan. Staff recommended in favor
of rezoning this tract of land from District I-2 (Industrial Park) to District I-1 (General Industrial).
Mayor Culpepper opened the public hearing.
Terry Bray representing Cypress said they are looking forward to expanding their facility
on the usable portion of the land. He asked for the Council's approval of the rezoning request.
There being no further public testimony, the public hearing was closed.
13.D. Consider public testimony concerning the request filed by Round Rock Ranch,
LTD to amend PUD No 13 (Planned Unit Development) (Round Rock Ranch). Joe Vining
made the staff presentation. This was originally rezoned from MF (Multi -family) and C-2 (Local
Commercial) to PUD 13 on June 9, 1994. The major difference: between this amendment and the
original PUD is the reductions of the number of lots and the widening of the minimum lot size.
The developer also proposes to eliminate the zero lot line option. from the PUD by building garden
homes on 50' wide lots. A rear yard/garden concept will be; implemented along the internal
greenbelt lots. Also, certain architectural controls have been added to the document. A copy of the
PUD document showing the amendments were given to Council for review. Staff recommended
approval of this amendment to PUD 13.
Mayor Culpepper opened the public hearing.
Vince Huebinger of Vincent Gerard and Associates outlined the proposed amendments to
161

comments (Attached `B") were addressed and an agreement has been reached and incorporated into
the PUD.
Felix Leonardi, Vice -President of the Round Rock Homeowners Association, provided a
list (Attachment "C") of concerns to the Council. Mr. Leonardi was informed that some of his
concerns did not pertain to the proposed amendment to the PUD and Council can only take action

Tim Timmerman owner of the property, and Barry Gillingwater of Vincent Gerard and
Associates answered Mr. Leonardi questions.
There being no further testimony, the public hearing was closed.

May 11, 1995
bills designed to "bash" Austin. While some may see this as only an Austin/Round Rock bill, it
has statewide applications. The bill has two major sections: Section 1 provides for Regional
Economic Development agreements and Section 2 allows Strategic Partnerships for Continuation
of Certain Districts.
Section 1: The bill allows cities to transfer parts of its ETJ to neighboring cities to facilitate
the extension of municipal services. These cities may also enter into regional economic
development agreements for territory that is partially within the ETJ of each municipality. These
agreements may provide the following:
(1) boundaries of the area covered by the agreement;
(2) the duration of the agreement and means for renewing or terminating the agreement;
(3) apportionment of the area covered by the agreement into service areas assigned to
participating municipalities;
(4) a regional economic development board composed of representatives of parties to
an agreement to provide planning for service delivery to the territory covered by the agreement;
(5) revenue sharing among participating municipalities in order to reduce destructive
competition for commercial and industrial tax base; and
(6) such other lawful terms as the parties consider appropriate.
The bill also allows all cities to annex for limited purposes areas covered under such
agreements and impose a retail sales tax within the boundaries.
Section 2: This section pertains to partnerships between cities and districts. These districts
can be either municipal utility districts or water control and improvement districts. The "strategic
partnership agreement" is an agreement specifying terms of service provision and annexation
requirements.
Mayor Culpepper read the following resolution.
RESOLUTION NO. R -95-05-11-15D

James Jackson made the staff presentation. The Police Department currently provides ballistic
body armor to their commissioned personnel to protect against the possibility of an armed threat.
The current ballistic body armor worn by most officers will exceed the manufacturer's warranty on
ballistic integrity by October, 1995 and the body armor will no longer be of use. It was determined

were made in the budget for this purpose. The City went to bid for the purchase of the body
armor. Two bids were received for ballistic body armor. Staff recommended awarding Safariland
the bid in the amount of $16,445.00 for the ballistic body armor for the Police Department.

Manager Bob Bennett, Assistant City Manager/City Secretary Joanne Land and City Attorney

WORK SESSION:
3.A. Consider a presentation on the Austin Metropolitan Transportation Plan. Joe Vining
made the staff presentation. The Policy Advisory Committee, after years of public input and
discussion, completed the Austin Metropolitan Area Transportation Plan. This document was last
revised in 1986 and is the cornerstone for all future roadway decisions and funding with the
metropolitan area. The plan fulfills the local requirement under ISTEA (Inter -Model Transportation
Efficiency Act of 1991) and assists all levels of government in coordinating the federal, state and
local roadway systems. The Council received a copy of the plan.
Mike Aulick, the Austin Transportation Study Director, presented the plan to the City
Council. Members of the Planning and Zoning Commission attended the work session. Aulick
read the following ATS Vision: "The ATS regional transportation plan and program will provide
for the maximum mobility for the people of the Greater Austin Metropolitan Area with the least
detrimental effects. It will support the goals of safety, clean air, clean water, and preservation and
respect for neighborhoods. It will anticipate future conditions and be realistic, affordable and
effective to the community. It will foster the development and maintenance of a metropolitan area
with full opportunity for and inclusion of a citizenry which is culturally, economically and
physically diverse." He added that the Austin Metropolitan Area Transportation Plan (AMATP) is
a planning guide which contains transportation policy and projects for the next 25 years, to the year
2020. The Plan includes policies and programs for congestion/demand management, transit,
bicycles, pedestrians and trails, roadways and freight. The AMATP must be revised at least every
five years by 1999. The AMATP's primary use is as a regional long-range plan for federally
funded projects, and it also serves as a comprehensive, coordinated transportation plan for all the
governmental jurisdictions within the ATS area. Different jurisdictions have different transportation
implementation responsibilities under the Plan. These include Texas Department of Transportation,
Capital Metro, cities, and counties. The AMATP promotes a change from existing transportation
conditions and trends by encouraging alternatives to the single -occupant motor vehicle for travel,
especially during "rush hour." This is made necessary by growing population and the inability to
build enough roadways to handle the demand. He added that changes in travel behavior must be
encouraged through transportation alternatives and programs. Transportation policy alone cannot
178
May 25, 1995
change transportation trends, changes in land use trends must also be made. The Council,
Planning and Zoning Commission, and Aulick discussed various specifics of the plan. Aulick
added that changes can be made even if the plan is adopted as it was presented. He informed the
Council that Austin, Lakeway, and Pflugerville have adopted the ATS plan.
Mayor Culpepper asked Aulick for the status of the request for more local representation on
the ATS. Aulick said the request would be presented at the June 12th meeting.

I LB. Consider a presentation concerning revising the 1994-1995 Operating Budget.
David Kautz made the staff presentation. The proposed revision of the current operating budget is
a planned occurrence in response to the City's revenue producing activity. Because the City has
become more reliant upon the sales tax to fund operating activities, many programs are deferred
until the funding sources have been established. The increased growth in the City has increased
the need for additional or expanded programs. Kautz presented highlights of the following
proposed revisions.

WORK SESSION:
4.A. Consider discussion of long range planningissues. sues. The Council and staff went
over the following issues:
Council Computers
Brian Finger, Data Processing Manager, explained the possibilities of using computers by
the Council as a way to communicate with staff, each other, other agencies, and to eliminate the
physical creation of the City Council meeting packet. He gave details, advantages, disadvantages,
and responsibilities of the Council using a computer instead of a packet for their Council meetings
and as a way to communicate with staff. He explained the Bulletin Board System (BBS) and its
benefits. The Council asked Finger about various capabilities of the computer system. Brian said,
if the Council wished to proceed, it is possible to use this method of communication by October
lst. Councilman Stluka noted that the key to this new procedure is making the commitment and
then working collectively and individually.
Subdivision Ordinance/Zoning Ordinance
Joe Vining went over the Subdivision Ordinance explaining the various sections. Mayor
Pro -tem Palmer referred to Section 8.302, Territorial Limits of Regulations, and asked if the 1/2
mile limit will be changed to 2 miles. Vining said it will be changed to read "as provided by law."
The Council discussed the specifications for ribbon curbs and agreed that ribbon curbs need to be
an option, especially for the subdivisions that are on the outskirts of town. Discussion led to cul-
de-sac's/curb lots. Council agreed that there needs to be a definite minimum standard for lots on
cul-de-sac's.
PUD's
197
June 2, 1995
Vining outlined the list of existing and proposed Planned Unit Developments which was
provided to the Council. Round Rock has eleven zoning categories. He said a PUD eliminates the
need for additional zones and thus maintaining a low number of zoning districts.
The Council asked that in Section 11.316 (10) Changes to a Development Plan (a) Minor
Changes ... "may be approved by the Director of Planning and Community Development", be
changed to "the Planning and Zoning Commission approving the minor changes." How to inform
new/different owners of a previously approved PUD was discussed. The Council noted that a
PUD agreement needs to have a better clarification than the other zoning districts and it also needs
to be easily understood since there is alot of flexibility in a PUD.
Up-to-date housing/apartment inveaM
Vining summarized the multi -family housing inventory by quadrant. Multi -family housing
is 19.04% of the total housing unit.
Illegal subdivisions
Vining outlined the development standards of a legal subdivision. Various options were
discussed on how to bring illegal subdivisions up to standards. Staff will continue to work out
options and solutions.
Housing Authority common goals and develop strategies
This item was requested by Bruce Gill, Executive Director of the Housing Authority, and
Housing Authority Boardmember Bride Roberts. The Council asked the Housing Authority
subcommittee, Councilman Stewart and Councilman Stluka, to meet with Gill and Roberts to
discuss goals and strategies.
MUD 2 water rates
Sheets gave a brief update on the legal status of the water rates for MUD 2.
Austin ETJ
The Council and staff discussed how this would affect Round Rock as a result of the recent
Legislative Session.
Council Benefits
Mayor Pro -tem Palmer asked that this be discussed at the next work session. He asked that
the Council be paid $500 a month and the Mayor $750 a month. The Council will discuss this
further during the budget process.
Bond Election
This item will be discussed at the next retreat.
Library
Dale Ricklefs provided a preliminary site plan for the expansion of the Library. The
Council discussed moving forward on this project and how the additional land would be acquired.
Councilman Stluka said he would like to see the entire Palm House converted into a
museum and incorporated into the Library expansion.
June 2, 1995
Tax abatements
Vining gave an update on the existing tax abatements and proposed tax abatements.
Briefing -/update on utility
Nuse informed the Council that the sewer plant project needs to proceed whether Austin

recent rain, the water wells are at their full level.
Update on the hotel
Bennett gave a brief update on the status of the hotel.
Chamber fundiniz
This item will be discussed at the next retreat.
How to handle disbursements

Jane Kirschman, 500 Peterson Street, of the Twin Ridge Subdivision, expressed the
neighborhood's support of the Speed Hump Program and their participation in the pilot program.
PROCLAMATIONS:
6.A. Consider a proclamation recognizing Sean McClain. Mayor Culpepper read the
appropriate proclamation and presented it to Sean McClain. McClain thanked the Council for the
proclamation and briefly informed the Council of his successes and goal of competing in the
Olympic Games for Fencing. He informed the Council that the Olympic team for fencing isn't
selected on one competition, like some other sports, but on a series of competitions called the
Olympic qualifying series. At the end of this series the top three ranked fencers in the country will
be the Fencing Olympic Team. A fencer can improve his ranking more with a good performance in
the International World Cup Tournaments rather than one in domestic tournaments. This puts a lot
of importance on competing at as many International tournaments as possible. McClain said he
will begin a training program known as "Sprint To Atlanta" to achieve his Olympic goal. This
program will consist of a lot of international travel for competitions and training camps with
athletes from other countries. He plans to take the year off from school to devote all his time and
energy toward this program.
Carrying out this program will be expensive with travel, housing, equipment, and meals.
Total estimated training costs for the "Sprint To Atlanta" is $35,000. He added that the U.S.
Olympic Committee (USOC) and the United States Fencing Association (USFA) offer some funds
but they are not enough and after considering the savings from his summer job, part time
212
June 22, 1995
employment during the season, support from his family and funds from the USOC and USFA
there will be a shortfall of approximately $20,000.
At this point, McClain announced the Olympic Dreams Campaign and set a campaign goal
of $20,000. The key to the campaign will be to involve the entire community in his effort. He said,
"I believe the citizens of Round Rock will find pride in being a part of sending one of their own to
the Olympic Games. Contributions made payable to the USFA can be sent to the "Olympic
Dreams Campaign", PO Box 155, Round Rock, Texas 78680. The contributions will forwarded to
the USFA and deposited into the Sean McClain training fund. The USFA is responsible for
making sure all funds contributed are used for the direct support of my training costs. This
approach is critical to protect my amateur status."
Mayor Culpepper wished Sean good luck in his quest for the gold and informed him that
the City will try to help him achieve it.
6.B. Consider a proclamation proclaiming July as Parks and Recreation Month. Mayor
Culpepper read the appropriate proclamation and presented it to Sharon Prete. Prete reminded
everyone about the 4th of July Fireworks Celebration.
PRESENTATIONS:
7.A. Consider a presentation on the proposed speed hump program. Joe Vining made
the staff presentation. Staff examined traffic control programs from various Texas cities
experimenting with the installation of speed humps. A speed hump is different from a speed bump
in that the speed bump is taller and only one to three feet wide. The installation of speed humps as
a traffic control device requires the same kind of responsibility on the part of the City as any other
traffic signal or signs. Studies have shown that the installation of speed humps are effective in
reducing vehicle speeds and cut -through traffic along a roadway. Therefore, certain eligibility
requirements and criteria must be established in order to provide citizens with the kind of safe,
well-managed program. When a neighborhood has complied with all the requirements staff will do
a small study to justify the speed hump. If the demand is greater than the City program, then the
neighborhood will be allowed to use their own money and use the City contractor for the
installation of the speed humps provided that the criteria was met. Staff recommended that the
program be initiated with three pilot projects:
Peterson Street - This street is in the Twin Ridge Subdivision and has been experiencing
increased cut -through traffic on Peterson Street. Residents report that vehicles travel from Cushing
and Twin Ridge through Peterson Street at speeds higher than 30 mph in order to get to the duplex
neighborhood along Hyridge and Ridgemont Streets. Peterson Street is a single family residential
neighborhood street. Most of the families living along this street have children and the high speed
and volume of the traffic going through this street has become a major concern for the residents.
Fairlane Drive - The Fairlane Drive neighborhood has been experiencing similar cut -
through traffic problems. Vehicles are cutting through to get to Greenslopes and Kensington
213
June 22, 1995
Subdivisions instead of going down Gattis School Road.
Woods Boulevard - Traffic continues to increase along Woods Boulevard due to its design
as a collector and as the main route to the elementary school. Traffic safety issues concerning the
potential hazards to pedestrian traffic, especially children walking to school, make this a good
candidate for speed humps.
A review of the eligibility criteria indicates that all of these areas would be suited as pilot
projects for the Speed Hump Program. This program has not been put in the budget amendment so
funds need to be found to go forward with the program.
Mayor Pro -tem Palmer asked if longer streets would need more than one hump. Vining
said the length of the street would determine how many humps would be required to be effective.
Vining added that the petition process will be helpful in making sure the neighborhood
understands what is involved in this program.
7.B. Consider a presentation concerning; the 800 MHz Radio System. David Kautz made
the staff presentation. The City's consultant, Greg Munchrath, was present to update the Council
on the current status of this county -wide radio communication project, the work that remains to be
done and proposed time line for accomplishing that work. Kautz added that there is a resolution
later in the agenda to retain Mr. Munchrath for the remainder of this project.
Greg Munchrath noted that this project is a shared and consolidated communication system
that will involve Williamson County, Georgetown, and Round Rock and successful
implementation of this shared system is going to hinge around the following four issues: 1) to help
reduce the cost to the participants in the system and develop a system that everybody can utilize and
save money; 2) the development of a configuration that meet the needs of the players involved; 3)
to assure that there would be participation by all three players. He added that there is an interlocal
agreement that is presently under development between Round Rock, Williamson County, and
City of Georgetown to help make all of this possible; and 4) the development of a scope of work
between the participants and the system provider which will be Motorola Communications and
Electronics and the successful development of a contract that conserves the basis for some of that
work as well.
Several variations of system configurations were studied to come up with one that was
ideal for all of the participants involved. Certain items were deleted to prevent duplication of items
when the three systems are consolidated into one. Munchrath used a diagram to show the Council
the system configuration and how it would work.
Mayor Culpepper asked Munchrath to provide the Council with a copy of the graph
because it does a good job of explaining everybody's participation.
Munchrath continued that the interlocal agreement is being reviewed by the various
attorneys involved and are in the process of being finalized. The statement of work with Motorola
which spells out who is going to do what and who is responsible for what is also being worked
214
June 22, 1995
on. The contract itself is another document that has been recently provided to the City and County
and being reviewed.
The cost of the system as it stands now for Round Rock is approximately $1,270,000.00
which is actually lower than the original plan. This will provide a much larger system with more
channel capacity with county wide coverage instead of just coverage within the City.
Munchrath informed the Council that there is a way to improve the performance and
reliability of the radio system. The City's original plan was to use leased telephone company
circuits to connect the dispatch center to the repeater site. A more reliable way to do that is by
eliminating the leased circuits and putting in a dedicated microwave link between the dispatch
center and the tower site. One of the reasons it's more reliable is because microwave links don't get
dug up by a backhoe or get rained out and the pedestals along the road side don't get knocked
down by vehicles. This improvement will enhance the operation of the system. Georgetown has
had only two outages since they brought the system on line and those outages were due to their
phone lines going down which took their communications capability down. As part of the process
RAM went back and recommended that everyone involved consider replacing the leased circuits
with a microwave link. Williamson County and Georgetown have already made the decision to do
that to improve their reliability. Motorola is working on the final engineering for the microwave
link. Preliminary estimates indicate an additional $150,000 to $200,000. The exact price will be
brought back to the Council when the final engineering is done so the Council can make a decision
on that. Outstanding issues that need to be addressed in the next few days include the resolution of
the statement work, the contract document and any changes that need to be made.
Councilman Stluka inquired about the management of the system and how that will work
and who will manage the system.
Munchrath said, "That is still being discussed among the players. There is a proposal on
the table from Motorola to provide system management for a fee. The fee is reasonable and if the
participants were to go that route then that would resolve that issue. Also last week Williamson
County voted to approve moving ahead with the system contingent on getting the statement of
work and the contract worked out in the next few days. They have made a commitment to go
ahead and move forward. Georgetown has also committed to participate and to use the microwave
link."
In response to Councilman Joseph's question, Munchrath said, "The system is being done
in stages and coming together very quickly. It will be on the air this summer with full back up
system from the county facility by the beginning of the year and by this time next year it should be
totally complete."
PUBLIC HEARINGS:
8.A. Consider public testimony concerning rezoning 10.796 acres out of the ASA
Thomas Survey, A-609 (including Lots 4 & 5, Block C, Interchange Business Park Section 2) in
215
June 22, 1995
Round Rock, Texas, 95-5167 from District C-1 (General Commercial) to District I-1 (General
Industrial). Joe Vining made the staff presentation. This tract is located on the north side of
County Road 170 and on the west side of Doublecreek Drive which goes through the Interchange
Business Park. Originally lots 4 and 5 were granted C-1 zoning because of their proximity to
County Road 170. Currently, the owner would like to convert these lots to industrial (I-1) zoning
to extend the approved industrial park. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended
approval of the zoning change from District C-1 (General Commercial) to District I-1 (General
Industrial) for this 10.796 acre tract.
Mayor Culpepper opened the public hearing.
Jim Stendebach representing the owner, Round Rock Investments Corporation, Inc., said
the industrial zoning that is being requested is a logical extension of the I-1 to the north. This tract
is intended to accommodate a new industry that will have approximately 200 employees.
There being no further testimony, the public hearing was closed.
8.B. Consider public testimony concerning voluntary annexation of .6437 acres of land
(Georgetown Railroad: Parcel 1). Joe Vining made the staff presentation on items 8B through

parcels of land. The seven parcels follow an existing water line on the south side of FM1431.
Parcel 1 - .6437 acres (Georgetown Railroad)
Parcel 2 - .0207 acres (Georgetown Railroad)
Parcel 3 - 4.516 acres (Georgetown Railroad)

CITIZENS COMMUNICATIONS:
5.A. Tom Kouri. Forrest Troutman, attorney, introduced Tom Kouri and John Motloch.
A presentation regarding the Kouri Tract history, potential development and tax generating
potential was given by Mr. Motloch. Motloch also gave a slide presentation depicting the location
of Mr. Kouri's tract as located in the ETJ of the City of Round Rock, on the northeast corner of the
IH -35 and FM 1325 intersection. It is bounded on the north by Chisholm Valley Subdivision, on
the southeast by Garden Ridge Pottery, on the east by IH -35, on the south by FM1325 and on the
west by the undeveloped Newman Tract. He gave an overview of recent and on-going
contributions made to the City of Round Rock by Mr. Kouri over the past 14 years and outlined
several site development plans. Motloch requested water and wastewater provisions to insure the
future development potential and marketability of the property.
George Heimsath, President of Capitol Market Research, Inc., outlined a tax base impact
analysis of mixed use development on a portion of the Kouri tract.
Tom Kouri, owner of the property, addressed the Council and said, "My brother and I
came to Round Rock many years ago and made a sizeable investment. Round Rock at that time
was a dusty town and it was dusty because there was white lime dust everywhere. Today it's a
232
July 13, 1995
thriving big city of 40,000 people, fastest growing city in the nation. How did it get that way?
With good things happening and not by itself. You made things happen, a good City Council,
good staff, hard work, dedication, and good foresight. You have it all."
Mayor Culpepper told Mr. Kouri he looked forward to working with him on the
development of his property.
Bobby Blackwood, 605 Circle Avenue, expressed his concern of drainage improvements
that were done on his street which he feels affected his lot.
Mayor Culpepper asked the City Manager, Building Inspection Department and Public
Works to see if Mr. Blackwood's concerns could be addressed.
Jean Zeller-Pendrey, 1501 White Oak Loop, said she was representing the children in her
neighborhood, Woods Phase I Subdivision. She had a basketball hoop erected in the right-of-way
next to her property for her son. A resident of the neighborhood that does not live adjacent to
Pendrey's residence filed a complaint with the City about the basketball hoop. Pendrey was
informed by the City that the basketball hoop was in violation of an ordinance. Prior to erecting the
basketball hoop, she received permission from the Homeowners Association and spoke to the
water department to make sure the hoop would not be an obstruction. The hoop has become an
evening gathering place for the neighborhood children and a place for good clean fun under a
watchful eye of adults. Strict rules for playing at the hoop were established. She said she
understood the letter of the law but asked if the Council could allow the basketball hoop to remain
and change the ordinance to allow the placement of basketball hoops in right-of-ways if certain
criteria is met. The hoops could be placed on non -thoroughfares or dead-end streets, cul-de-sacs or
loops as long as the adjacent neighbors do not object.
Mayor Culpepper asked Ms. Pendrey to meet with the individual that has a concern and try
to mutually resolve her concerns within 30 days.
Councilman Stluka commended Ms. Pendrey for allowing her neighborhood children to
play around her property. He asked staff to provide the Council with a summary of the ordinance
that caused the citation.
Mayor Culpepper asked why the basketball hoop was not placed in her driveway. Pendrey
said, "We have trees and a slanted driveway."
Derek Pendrey, 1501 White Oak Loop, asked the Council to allow him to keep the
basketball hoop.
Pat Murphy, 1739 Horseshoe Circle, said he physically erected the basketball hoop and
explained the steps he took and the people he spoke with before he placed it in the right-of-way.
He added that the pole is removable at a moments notice by simply removing a bolt.

public improvement district dedicated for the purpose of constructing a 16" waterline from the
waterline east of Interchange Business Park along Louis Henna to High Country Boulevard. This

SPECIAL RECOGNITION:
S.A. Retiring Police Chief Wes Wolff. Mayor Pro -tem Palmer read a proclamation and
presented it to Chief Wolff. Mayor Pro -tem Palmer then asked Chief Wolff to come forward as he
presented him the proclamation and a gold watch from the Council. Chief Wolff thanked everyone
for their support during his 18 years with the City of Round Rock Police Department. Several of
the Police Department staff attended the Council meeting.
CITIZENS COMMUNICATIONS: None
PROCLAMATIONS:
7.A. Consider a proclamation proclaiming National Night Out. Mayor Pro -tem Palmer
read the proclamation and asked that it be forwarded to the Evening Kiwanis Club.
PRESENTATIONS:
8.A. Consider a presentation concerning; the 1995 Street Maintenance Program. Jim Nuse
made the staff presentation. It is time to go out for bids for repair work on the streets. This year
the street budget is $325,000.00. Staff proposed that the money be used for seal coat projects.
The proposal brought forth concentrates on four subdivisions:
1) South Creek
2) Chisholm Valley
252
July 27, 1995
3) Kensington
4) Twin Ridge Subdivision
Staff has developed a schedule to get all the streets inside the City seal coated every seven
or eight years. This is the third year that there has been a significant amount of money to use for
street maintenance. Also the Parks and Recreation Department has determined a project to be seal
coated. The project is:
Harrell Parkway from Highway 79 to the loop road.
The four subdivisions to be seal coated are located over high-class density clay soils and
they are the areas that "give and take" more than any place else in town.
Preliminary lists and maps of proposed streets to be included in the 1995 Street
Maintenance Program were provided to the Council. Nuse asked the Council for any other
locations they thought needed to be seal coated.
The Public Works portion of the seal coat program will be $305,000.00. The Parks and
Recreation Department portion will be approximately $33,000.00.
Councilman Stluka asked when the project would commence. Nuse stated the contractors
prefer to seal coat in October when the days are hot and nights are cool and would take about three
weeks to complete. Residents will be notified with notification stickers on their doors.
Councilman Morgan asked about the condition of the shoulder of Harrell Parkway. Nuse
told the Council that he would take a look at that area to see what could be done. One of the
processes that is done before seal coating is to level -up and make major adjustments to the streets.
PUBLIC HEARINGS:
9.A. Consider public testimony concerningthe he request filed by the Falcon Cambridge
Group to amend the existing Planned Unit Development (PUD) No. 10. (Steeplechase Downs
Apartments) Joe Vining made the staff presentation. Since the PUD is a zoning district, changes
made to the agreement, originally approved by the Council, must be brought back to the Council
for a decision. There were six proposed changes to the PUD agreement:
1) Phase construction to allow the developer to work with the Building Inspection
Department to seal the units individually rather than complete the whole project and get a
seal at the end of the project
2) Reduce density
3) Change the setback along Palm Valley Boulevard from 35 to 30 feet
4) Address the massing along Palm Valley Boulevard
5) Allow for construction of carports - new item not in the original document
6) Provide for additional signage at the entrance to the project
There were also five minor changes and suggestions that: the Planning and Zoning
Commission found that would help the documents read better.
Changes to the site plan and construction of the project require modifications to the PUD.
Some changes have an impact on property owners across Palm Valley Boulevard and required
253
July 27, 1995
several meetings to insure such requested changes were acceptable with these residents. These
same property owners all appeared before the Planning and Zoning Commission on July 12, 1995
and testified that they supported the amendments.
Councilman Joseph wanted to make sure that the additional signage would not affect
visibility or hamper emergency vehicles. Joe Vining assured him that it would not.
Mayor Pro -tem Palmer opened the public hearing.
Allen Wiley, 514 East Taylor Avenue, spoke on behalf of his wife and his neighbors, Mr.
and Mrs. Cox who live at 518 East Taylor Avenue. Mr. Wiley stated that he wanted the project to
become what it set out to be "the finest, the prettiest, the best designed, the highest valued, the
'priceyist' apartment complex in Round Rock; an extremely fine apartment complex." He
supported these amendments and wanted the project to continue.
Tom Higgs, 500 East Taylor Avenue, represented himself and Mr. and Mrs. Williamson
who reside at 502 East Taylor Avenue. They were in total agreement with the changes.
Bob Stettina, 504 East Taylor Avenue, representing his wife and their next door neighbors,
agreed with the proposed changes. Mr. Stettina suggested that a light to control traffic flow at the
bottom of the hill be considered. Joe Vining informed Mr. Stettina that the light concerns have
been conveyed to District 14 of the Texas Department of Transportation.
Dale Buchanan, 510 East Taylor Avenue, spoke for himself and his wife. They voiced no
opposition to the project.
There being no further public testimony, Mayor Pro -tem Palmer closed the public hearing.
9.B. Consider public testimony concerning the request filed by Doyle Wilson
Homebuilder, Inc to adopt original zoning of SF -2 Single Family -Standard Lot) on 195 acres of
land. (Stone Oak Subdivision) Joe Vining made the staff presentation. The requested zoning
complies with the General Plan as long as the applicant can demonstrate that the proposed density
meets the requirements set forth in the General Plan of not more than four units per acre. This
request is for 195 acres of land. The developer produced some plats that defined an area smaller
which was for 58.97 acres.
Staff recommended that Council approve zoning of 58.97 acres SF -2 and leave the
remaining acreage for later consideration. The reason for this decision was due to the General Plan
provision that calls for a density no greater than four dwelling units per acre in this area of town.
With the developer's further development and demonstration of attaining that density by the
developer's plats, then he can come forward with additional zoning and prove that he can make the
General Plan requirements. Even though the agenda was styled for a higher number of acres (195
acres), staff asked that Council consider only 58.97 acres for SF -2 zoning.
Mayor Pro -tem Palmer opened the public hearing. There being no public testimony,
Mayor Pro -tem Palmer closed the public hearing.
9.C. Consider public testimony concerning the request filed by Tom E.
254
July 27, 1995
Nelson, Trustee No. 1 to adopt original zoning; of C-1 (General Commercial) on 10 acres of land
(Stone Oak Subdivision) Joe Vining made the staff presentation. This ten acres of land is located
at the southeast corner of the proposed Stone Oak development at the intersection of Wyoming
Springs Drive and Highway 1431. There are no specific commercial uses planned for this tract of
land at this time.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of C-1 (General
Commercial) original zoning at the July 12, 1995 meeting. This meets the General Plan criteria for
the location of a commercial district at the entrance of a subdivision. Staff recommended approval.
Mayor Pro -tem Palmer opened the public testimony. There being no public testimony,
Mayor Pro -tem Palmer closed the public hearing.

will be repaid by the property owners benefitting from the improvement.
Concurrent with the creation of the PID, the owners are requesting annexation and are

July 27, 1995
system. David Kautz made the staff presentation. The City of Round Rock and Motorola have
substantially completed work on a Statement of Work, a System Purchase Agreement and other
items related to the acquisition, installation and operation of an 800 MHz trunked radio system.
The equipment has been competitively bid through H -GAC (Houston -Galveston Area
Council), thereby satisfying statutory bid requirements and providing competitive pricing to the
City of Round Rock.
The system components and related cost have been summarized and were available for
Council's review. The total 800 MHz system investment will be $1,533,453.00.
Certain elements of the agreement remain to be worked out, such as final specifications on
the Round Rock microwave tower and the user equipment list. These elements will be handled as
change orders to the agreement.
It is expected that the system will be financed through a seven-year lease/purchase
agreement. Costs of this refinancing have been anticipated in the 1995-96 budget and tax rate.
The three primary users of the 800 MHz trunk radio system will be the City of Round
Rock, the City of Georgetown and Williamson County. Staff recommended approval subject to
the City Attorney's final review of the agreement. If this resolution is approved, staff would come
back to the Council with an agreement involving the three primary users (City of Round Rock,
City of Georgetown and Williamson County). This agreement would delineate any responsibility
of the individual users of the system.
Representatives from Motorola were available for any questions.

The Round Rock City Council met in Work Session and Regular Session on Thursday,
August 10, 1995 in the City Council Chamber, 221 E. Main Street.
CALL WORK SESSION TO ORDER - 5:30 P.M.
ROLL CALL: Those members present were Mayor Charles Culpepper,
Mayor Pro -tem Earl Palmer, Councilman Robert Stluka, Councilman Rod Morgan, Councilman
Rick Stewart, Councilwoman Martha Chavez and Councilman Jimmy Joseph. Also present were
City Manager Bob Bennett and Assistant City Manager/City Secretary Joanne Land.
3.A. Consider a presentation concerning the proposed 1995-1996 Operating Budget. Bob
Bennett and David Kautz made the staff presentation. Bennett informed the Council that the budget
had not changed in any great respect from the previous year. Kautz noted that the budget contains
a spending plan and revenue estimates for the General Fund, the General Debt Service Fund, the
Water/Wastewater Utility Fund and the Revenue Bond Debt Service Fund. The operating budget
was developed through the team approach following the City's strategic plan and broad guidelines
issued by the City Manager and department heads. The spending plan provides funding for basic
services and for critical needs, such as the street maintenance program, the equipment replacement
program and additional police personnel. Kautz offered the following highlights of the proposed
1995-1996 budget. The total operating budget is $35,971,326, a 7.8% increase over the 1994-
1995 budget. This figure includes $16,331,234 for the General Fund, $8,408,267 for the Debt
Service Funds and $11,231,825 for the Water/Wastewater Utility Fund. The proposed budget
reflects the current level of growth in single family housing starts in and surrounding the City.
Population growth and building activity are expected to remain strong, fueled by significant job
creation in the community and surrounding areas. No change is scheduled for water/wastewater
rates in this budget. Recent summer seasons have placed the City's water utility system under a
substantial test as the combined effects of drought conditions and a growing customer base set new
records for the delivery of treated water. Kautz used charts to outline the funding for new and
existing programs, general Capital Improvement projects and proposed tax rate. He said the total
value of all taxable property, as rendered by the Williamson County Appraisal District, has
increased substantially thus, reflecting the continued growth in market value and new construction.
The tax roll as certified by the appraisal district indicates the following:
Certified for 1995 Certified for 1996
Total Taxable Value $1,380,376,965 $1,673,266,815
Tax Rate 48.896 cents/$100 42.974 cents/$100 (* *)
(**) Proposed Tax Rate
Due to continued growth projections and the presence of Dell Computer, we expect 1995-
96 to generate $7,759,009 in sales tax revenue, an increase of 5% or $381,860 over the current
year. These figures are reflective of the latest budget revision. The sales tax revenue source is
extremely important to the City in that it reduces property taxes and it makes up almost one-half of
the general revenue. As a result of the City Council's community development efforts and the
•
August 10, 1995
region's strong economy, this budget plan is able to encompass higher service levels without
corresponding rate increases. The adoption and ensuing implementation of this budget plan will
preserve the City's strong financial position while providing excellent levels of service.
Joe Vining outlined the status of Reinvestment Zones and Tax Abatement agreements.
Phil Brewer, Round Rock Chamber of Commerce Economic Development Director,
outlined the Economic Development Annual Retention and Expansion Report.
Mayor Culpepper said, "The Council and staff need to do a better job of explaining tax
abatements and how they can benefit the City."
Councilman Stewart asked Kautz to briefly comment on the Bond Rating houses during the
budget public hearing.
Mayor Culpepper noted that the Council will have another work session on the budget prior
to the next Council meeting.
The work session recessed at 6:13 p.m.
CALL REGULAR SESSION TO ORDER - 7:00 P.M.

CITIZENS COMMUNICATIONS:
Jean Zeller-Pendrey, 1501 White Oak Loop, informed the Council that she had complied
with their request of contacting her neighbors to resolve the concern that one of them had regarding
a basketball hoop in the right-of-way. Zeller-Pendrey said she explained to each neighbor the
reason the basketball hoop was placed in the right-of-way but did not find the person who had filed
279
August 10, 1995
the complaint. She did receive a suggestion that a "Children at Play" sign be placed in the area of
the basketball hoop to alert citizens driving in that area. Zeller-Pendrey asked the Council to
review the ordinance that prohibits basketball hoops in the right-of-way because this is a way to
keep the neighborhood children in the vicinity of their homes with something to do.
Mayor Culpepper asked the Planning Director to meet with the Woods Homeowners
Association to find the best place for the Children at Play sign.
Andy Jackson, Coach of the Round Rock Sertoma Mustangs Slow Pitch Girls Softball
Team, introduced members of the team and presented their accomplishments.
PROCLAMATIONS:
9.A. Consider a proclamation proclaiming August 13, 1995 as Remember Shelley
Catherine Cook Day. Mayor Culpepper read the proclamation and presented it to members of the
Round Rock High School Sophomore Class. The students invited the Council to the tree planting
ceremony at Old Settlers Park at Palm Valley in honor of Shelley Cook, Sunday, August 13th at
5:00 p.m.
PRESENTATIONS: None
PUBLIC HEARINGS:
11.A. Consider public testimony concerning designating Lot 2 AmorRon Park II as
Reinvestment Zone No. 10. (Tellabs Operations. Inca Joe Vining made the staff presentation.
He said that Tellabs was the first company to build in AmorRon Park in the early 1980's. The
purpose of this reinvestment zone and tax abatement is to help Tellabs with the expansion of their
telecommunication products manufacturing plant. The new facility is estimated to cost $2,000,000
with an additional $2,500,000 in personal property and equipment, for a total of $4,500,000.00.
Construction of a 40,000 square foot tilt wall building is scheduled to begin August 14 and should
be completed by April 1, 1996. Tellabs agrees to retain at least 402 jobs from the completion date
throughout the term of the agreement.
Mayor Culpepper opened the public hearing.
Phil Brewer, Round Rock Chamber of Commerce, spoke in favor of Reinvestment Zone
No. 10 and tax abatement for Tellabs Operations, Inc. He said the proposed abatement would only
cover the increased value of Tellabs expansion. It would not in anyway affect the property taxes
that they are paying to the City currently; so that tax revenue stream would continue to come into
the City. Under the three year abatement program the City would abate approximately $39,600
over the duration of the agreement based on the City's current tax rate but during the same time
period the City would receive approximately $26,400 in new property tax revenue over the same
period of time. Brewer asked for the Council's support on the creation of Reinvestment Zone No.
10.
There being no further testimony, the public hearing was closed.
1 I.B. Consider public testimony concerning designating Lot 3, Block A, Oakmont Centre
611
August 10, 1995
Section Seven as Reinvestment Zone No. 11. (Prudential Overall Supply) Joe Vining made the
staff presentation. He said this is a new industry to Round Rock. The creation of this
reinvestment zone will allow Prudential Overall Supply to build a new facility in Round Rock.
Prudential will add at least 50 new jobs to the City's economy during the term of this agreement.
The proposed facility is to be a 20,000 square foot, single story tilt wall constructed facility.
Approximately 15,000 square feet will be used to process clean room rental textiles, including
laundering, sortation, finishing, mending, and a packaging operation. Approximately 5,000
square feet will be used as a general purpose office and supply facility. The facility will be able to
accommodate 10,000 square feet for future expansion.
Mayor Culpepper opened the public hearing.
Phil Brewer said Prudential Overall Supply was established. in Santa Ana, California in
1932. This is also where their corporate offices are now. This is Prudential's first entry into the
Texas market. They have pioneered the development of clean room apparel and processing and is
one of the leaders in providing clean room garments for clean room operations. One of the driving
forces that is bringing Prudential to this area is that they have the national contract with Motorola to
provide their clean room services for all the clean room garments that Motorola operation utilize.
Prudential plans to build a 20,000 square foot facility in Oakmont Center which is valued at
approximately $1.3 million dollars. They will install equipment valued at about $2.6 million dollars
for a total investment of $3.76 million. They will start with 40 jobs in the first year, 55 jobs in the
second year, and by the third year they will have 70 employees in their operation. The proposed
abatement will be for three years with 90% abatement the first year 60% the second year and 30%
the third year. Based on the capital investment $.76 million dollars by Prudential and utilizing the
City's current tax rate the total amount of taxes that will be abated is approximately $33,000 over
the three year period. During the same time period the City will receive $22,000 in new city
property tax off this facility. The fact that Prudential's services are sales taxable creates another
new revenue stream for the City. Based on the projected sales figures provided by Prudential this
facility will generate approximately $110,000 in new sales tax revenues for the City over that first
three year period. This is very good investment for the City. Brewer asked for the Council's
support of Reinvestment Zone No. 11.
There being no further testimony, the public hearing was closed.

CITY MANAGER'S REPORT: Bob Bennett said Jim Nuse just returned from the
TNRCC and saved the City a considerable amount of money on the Regional Wastewater Plant.
He added that Nuse's efforts are always appreciated. Also a survey that was done by the Chamber
of Commerce showed that the industries rated the City's water and wastewater utility 100%. This
rating was even higher than TU Electric, Lone Star Gas, or Southwestern Bell.
Bennett noted that Ron Sproull brought Tellabs to Round Rock. Mr. Sproull fell in love
with Round Rock, moved to and lived in this area. Unfortunately, he lost his life in an airplane
accident. His wife, Harriet, donated $100,000 to the City to improve the bluff area. The Council
renamed the area Memorial Park and set up an endowment with the $100,000 Mrs. Sproull gave to

the City. The City still uses those funds for improvements to the City parks. Mrs. Sproull also
named AmorRon Park, where Tellabs is located, in memory of her husband. Now the City is
helping them expand their facility. This is what makes Round Rock special.
COUNCIL COMMENTS: Councilman Morgan asked everyone to watch out for the kids
that are going back to school.
Councilman Stewart complimented the Senior Center and Music Store on their Twilight
Serenade Concert.
Councilwoman Chavez congratulated Round Rock High School for being 1 out of 27
secondary schools chosen for the Texas Blue Ribbon School of Excellence Award. She said that
Round Rock is now eligible to compete for national honors as one of 288 schools out of 4,000 in
the nation. A site visit will be conducted sometime between September 17 and November 18. She
encouraged the community to support the High School in its endeavor to win this prestigious
award. Councilwoman Chavez also wished good luck to the students, faculty and administrators as
they start school on Monday.
