WORK SESSION:
3.A.1. Consider a presentation and discussion of a preliminary regional water proposal
by the Lower Colorado River Authority/Brazos River Authority Alliance representatives
Resource Persons: Bob Bennett, City Manager and representatives of the Alliance. Mr. Bennett
explained that at the Council's retreat this past summer, the Council placed a high priority on the
possibilities of developing a regional water system for the City and for this area of Williamson
County. Staff has been discussing informally with the Brazos River Authority and Lower
Colorado River Authority, the Alliance, on the possibilities of this concept.
Tom Ray of the Brazos River Authority gave a brief history of the Regional Wastewater
Alliance. He noted that the Alliance was formed in 1995 and brought together the resources,
expertise and experience of the Brazos River Authority and Lower Colorado River Authority.
Since the formation of the Alliance not only has there been a significant payoff but it also
provides a reliable wastewater service that protects the quality of Brushy Creek water. Mr. Ray
and Joe Beal of the Lower Colorado River Authority shared ideas on how the Alliance can help
deliver long term permanent water supply for Round Rock and Williamson County. Mr. Beal
briefly explained what the long term water needs will be for Round Rock to the year 2050 and
options that can be taken to assure that there is enough water for the area.
• The Council spoke favorably on the concept of a Water Alliance for Round Rock.
3.A.2. Consider a presentation and discussion regarding a progress report on the Round
Rock Convention Complex/Stadium. Staff Resource Person: Bob Bennett, City Manager. Mr.
Bennett gave a brief history on the how the location of the Complex was determined, on the
contract with Mr. Telander for the purchase of 95 acres, which after being surveyed is 88 acres,
the delay of purchasing the Telander tract and that all negotiations and discussions stopped until
2
December 10, 1998
after the election. Currently, staff is in the process of catching up after the delay from the
election. Staff discovered that 40 acres is all that was required for an adequate stadium and there
was concern on what would happen to the other 48 acres of the Telander tract. Staff wanted to
protect that piece of land adjacent to the proposed stadium and keep the area as nice as possible.
Staff asked the Ryan's if there was some way they could purchase the 48 acres. After considering •
that option they did agree to purchase the property. The architect can now create an integrated,
intricate, economic unit for the Complex making the stadium the focus point. Mr. Bennett added
that the City is still proceeding within the cash flows that the Hotel/Motel Tax can provide for
debt service and issuing no more than$9 millions in debt. Staff has been working with RSR
Sports on the possibility of moving more of the borrowed money into construction and to
maximize how much money can be borrowed not exceeding$9 million and taking that to
construction. At the same time while this is going on, staff is looking at traditional bond issues
that the City has done in the past as a safety net. Mr. Thiessen helped generate options from
commercial banks and all parties are satisfied.
David Kautz gave a brief presentation on the financing of the facility. He explained the
various options that can be considered for the financing and continues to run scenarios, figures •
and analysis with the City's Financial Advisor and the Underwriters and Mr. Thiessen.
Mike Thiessen, Financial Advisor for RSR Sports, said there will be some
announcements in relation to the overall financing. There are four(4) and at least six (6) different
scenarios that are currently being reviewed. Mr. Thiessen said that RSR Sports has a contract
with HKS Architects and they will pay for their architectural fees and expenses,which is
$925,000. RSR Sports will make a cash donation to the City.unencumbered. They would hope it
will be used to purchase the 48 acres that Mr. Bennett spoke of earlier. RSR Sports will put
another$2 million in to the project in addition to the$4 million and the lease payments which
have not changed or letter of credit which is not a question and ideally they would like to, if the
City will allow them, reserve the right to give the City more money in the future if there are •
things that they feel may be advantageous to the project from a quality level that everyone can be
proud of. They want to do this because the bids will not be coming back until the end of January.
Mayor Pro-tem Stluka commended Mayor Culpepper, staff and Mr. Thiessen on the
negotiations that occurred to keep the City's commitment at $9 million.
December 10, 1998
In response to Mayor Pro-tem Stluka's request,Mr. Kautz explained how and why the
bonding issue option is taxable in the beginning and becomes non-taxable later.
In response to Councilman Hairston's request, Mr. Kautz outlined the market study
conducted by Economic Research Associates (ERA)with respect to the number of bedrooms, the
annual debt service and how RSR Sports is assuming the actual risk of the project. Mr. Kautz
•
added that ERA will be back in the area next week to take an additional look at local hotel
industry and reassess the information they previously provided.
Mayor Culpepper noted that it was unfortunate that some articles got published in the
newspaper when negotiating. With such a high profile project like this emotions run high. He
added that there are no hard feelings between the City and Mike Thiessen. Mayor Culpepper
added"Mike Thiessen is doing a wonderful job for RSR in representing them. This is the highest
profile project in Central Texas right now because Nolan Ryan's name is attached to it and
because there is a hunger for professional sports."
Steve Sheets explained that changes were made in the schedule for preparing the bid
package for the project. The Council will still award the contract on January 14'and the
• construction will still begin on March 1". The Council will not need to meet in a Special Called
Session on December 17th.

worked out a swap of ETJ with the City of Austin and agreed that the tract would be
divided between Austin and Round Rock using the right-of-way line for SH-45. Even
though Austin has rights to the southern half of the tract it looks like Austin is willing

PRESENTATIONS:
4.A.1. Consider a presentation concerning(1) ordinances gjanting CoSery
•
franchises to provide telecommunications services, gas services, and cable television
services; (2) the upcoming legislative session and public franchise issues; and (3) the
procedure for updating the cable television franchise ordinance Staff Resource Person:
Bob Bennett, City Manager.
Steve Sheets said one of the issues that the Council and staff will be facing in the
upcoming year will be the City's cable and utility franchises. Staff received an
application from CoSery to provide telecommunications,cable and gas service. The
upcoming Legislative Session will also be dealing with these issues. Mr. Sheets noted
that staff contacted Mark Smith,Partner with Brown, McCarroll &Oaks Hartline to
• assist the City in dealing with the franchise issues that are before the Council.,
Mr. Smith said he reviewed the applications from CoServ'and prepared three
interim franchises that will take effect until new franchises are in place for Time Warner
and Southwestern Bell and eventually for Lone Star Gas. The reason for the interim
franchises is because there have been a lot of changes in the telecommunications
industry that have occurred in the last few years especially with the passage of the State
x 0
34
December 21, 1998
Law regulating telecommunication providers and then the passage of the Federal
Telecommunications Act.
The Federal Telecommunications Act introduces competition of services. There
are requirements in the State and Federal Law that the City's current ordinance doesn't
completely comply with and that is because of the timing when the ordinances were •
adopted and the changes in the law. The three interim ordinances would get CoSery in
business and allow them to move forward with their development until such time that a
new telecommunication and cable franchise ordinance is in place. Mr. Smith noted that
when the Federal Telecommunication Act authorized new companies to compete with
the local companies they added that a City cannot prevent new companies from coming
in and providing service. Also, any compensation methodology that the City demands
for the use of municipal right-of-way has to be competitively equal. The City needs to
enter into a new franchise with Southwestern Bell that has a new compensation
methodology;that is competitively neutral and has all the additional provisions that
should be in the ordinance to protect the City's interest and making sure that there is no •
determent to the management of the City's streets and alley's. Mr. Smith added that
Southwestern Bell has been notified that there was an applicant for a
telecommunication franchise. Mr. Smith recommended that a new franchise ordinance
be negotiated and in place before the end of the next Legislative Session because the
Legislature is thinking about passing legislation that would require uniform
compensation methodology for all the entities to be in place. All of the legislation that
has been proposed so far has had a grandfather provision in it.
Mr. Smith explained that as for the Cable Franchise ordinance, that process is
fairly lengthy. The first thing that is done is a"needs assessment" which can be done by
a consultant or in-house. That individual evaluates what kind of needs the City has in
the way of cable,what kind of advanced service the City wants to see and what type of
municipal support in terms of educational channels for the school and government.
Then a performance review is done to determine whether the Cable Company has fully
operated at the City's satisfaction during the franchise period. The City then invites the
Cable Company to make a proposal for renewal and the City can either act on that
35
December 21, 1998
favorably or unfavorably. If the City decides not to renew the cable franchise then a
specific procedural process is triggered and this procedure is set out in the Federal
Telecommunications Act. Mr. Smith added that if the City feels it will have a problem
with renewing the Time Warner Franchise the absolute latest the City can begin the
• negotiations is in the year 2000. It is a good idea to begin negotiations now because the
odds are that the City will be able to reach an amicable resolution of the issue.
Mr. Smith also recommended that depending on what the Legislature decides,
that the City may want to take a look and revamp the Electric Utility Franchise as well.
In response to Mayor Pro-tem Stluka's question, Mr. Smith said he did draft the
new Lubbock franchise ordinances and the Joint Senate and House Committee that has
been looking at the Lubbock ordinance as being perhaps a model to look at from a
Legislative stand point.
In response to Councilman Stewart's question, Mr. Smith said that CoSery has
agreed to pay for the cost of dealing with the interim franchises but the City will be
• responsible for paying for the new permanent franchise ordinances. The cost of the new
franchise ordinances can be negotiated with the entities that require the franchise.

CITIZENS COMMUNICATIONS:
• Mayor Culpepper asked those individuals who wished to address the Council to limit
their comments to 3-minutes and if they require more time they may continue at the end of the
Council meeting.
William Camp, 2310 Stirrup, said that citizens are still against using HUD funds for the
redevelopment of the Blessing Mobile Home Park and that he was informed by Richard Lopez of
HUD that any funds the City plans to use with the funds can be changed by public opinion. Mr.
Camp asked the Council that when they annex the Blessing Mobile Home Park to make sure that
it becomes something that will not hurt Round Rock but rather be good for the City.
Ken Lounsbury, 500 Elder Way, submitted a petition to the Council that was signed by
643 residents. Mr. Lounsbury said the petition was for the support to not build anymore
• apartments until the General Plan guidelines are met. Mr. Lounsbury proceeded to read the
following statement on the petition. "We, the citizens of the South Creek Subdivision,Round
Rock, Texas, and neighboring Round Rock residents,request that the property located north of
Gattis School Road and to the east and west of South Creek Drive, Section 19, riot be developed
with multi-family housing.
With the opening next fall of Caldwell Heights Elementary to relieve Forest Creek
Elementary, Gattis Elementary School will gain the dubious distinction of the most overcrowded
school in the City, largely due to the influx of hundreds of students from the series of apartments
completed and presently being built along Louis Henna Boulevard. We believe the City of
Round Rock has taken advantage of our trust in allowing an excessive amount of multi-family
housing to be built in southeast Round Rock.
•
We are totally against the development at the front of our subdivision for these additional
reasons:
• A good workable solution solving our current student overpopulation needs to be in place
before any new apartments are built in this area.
0 We are concerned that there will be an increase in the amount of crime in our area.
66
January 14, 1999
• Extreme traffic congestion will result from the 232 apartments being built at the corner of
Gattis School Road and South Creek Drive.
• No left turn lanes have been provided on Gattis School Road to relieve the high flow of
traffic at this intersection.
• The high traffic generation requires maximizing the functional separation between multi- •
family and single family uses,which this development does not do.
• Access to multi-family developments should minimize traffic on collector roadways in single
family areas. This development does the opposite.
• The density ratio for multi-family housing in Round Rock is set out in the General Plan as
20% and the Southeast Quadrant is currently at approximately 38%, and rising.
We urge the City Council to establish a moratorium against any further development of
multi-family land until the density limits are back in proportion to what the City's General Plan
calls for.
Furthermore,we request that the City rezone this same piece of property to Single Family
zoning."
Mayor Culpepper asked Mr. Lounsbm'Y how many children that attend Gattis Elementary •
live in an apartment. Mr. Lounsbury said that as of January 5, 1999 Gattis Elementary acquired
30 new students and 80% or 24 of those students came from the apartments on Louis Henna
Boulevard.
John B. Gordon, 1007 Green Meadow, expressed his concern with the number of multi-
family units in the City. He said he conducted an inventory of the housing units in the City and
found approximately 13,000 single family houses and 6,500 apartments and duplexes which is
out of line with the 80/20 ratio established by the City. He asked that staff look at the ratio and
get back to what the City's goal has been all along. Mr. Gordon added that the City needs to
duplicate every existing single family house before another apartment or duplex is built. He
added that there are areas in the City that have approximately 50%rental multi-family houses, •
apartments and duplexes. This area is bounded by one mile east of the Interstate north and south
and has 4,500 of those apartments and duplexes making that area including the South Creek
nearly 50%multi-family. Mr. Gordon asked the Council to establish a moratorium on further
apartments and duplex development until the 80/20 ratio is reestablished.
67
January 14, 1999
Mayor Culpepper asked Mr. Gordon to meet with staff because figures from the Planning
Department show 23,000 single family and 4,000 multi-family which is 18.2%.
Mayor Pro-tem Stluka added that due to various e-mails and communications he
received, regarding the apartments/multi-family situation,he specifically asked staff to update all
• the figures regarding occupied multi-family and multi-family under construction versus
residential. He also asked staff to acquire information regarding the rental rates as to what the
medium rental rate is in the City. The figures for the rental rates are currently not available but he
did receive an update on the percentages of multi-family versus single family as of December 31,
1998. One quadrant of the City is at 20%multi-family but citywide the total multi-family
occupied units and under construction is 18.2%. He added conflicting reports have been received
from the School District regarding the number of students who live in apartment complexes and
that he wants to follow up on figures that were received from the main office and the principal.
PROCLAMATIONS:
10.A. Consider a proclamation proclaiming January 18, 1999 as Martin Luther King, Jr
Day. Mayor Culpepper read the appropriate proclamation and presented it to David Hill and
• Gloria Walker representatives of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Commemorative walk committee.
Ms. Walker invited the Council to the commemorative walk and program on Monday, January
18, 1999 beginning at 3:00 p.m.
PRESENTATIONS:
11.A.1. Consider a presentation concerning extending water service to property along IH
35 north of Old West Drive. Staff Resource Person: Jim Nuse,Public Works Director. This item
involves extending water service along IH-35 and a portion between Buckboard Boulevard and
Old West Drive. This area has a few small commercial businesses and a couple of vacant pieces
of property and staff would like to approach the property owners to build a water line across the
front to complete a valuable loop,.to provide water service to those areas. The estimated cost of
• the project is $29,000.
Mayor Pro-tem Stulka suggested that staff bring back to the Council,when formal action
is taken, an estimate on the continuation of the extension to Old West Drive to make it a
complete link.
66
January 14, 1999
In response to Councilman Hairston's question,Mr. Nuse said several things have to be
accomplished before the project can begin and does not anticipate that it will begin until the Fall.
The project,which will be a Capital Improvement Project, will take three weeks to complete.
I LA.2. Consider a presentation concerning the reconstruction of Lakeview Cove Staff
Resource Person: Jim Nuse,Public Works Director. This street is in Round Rock West east of •
Deepwood Elementary School and west of the Alligator Hole. The street was built with a four-
inch water line that has been problematic over the years,has had many repairs and is in very poor
condition and gotten worse over the last year. Mr.Nuse recommended that Martinez, Wright &
Mendez replace the water line, water service and reconstruct the street. Instead of waiting for
another Capital Improvement Program to go before the voters staff would like to move ahead
with this project. The engineering portion of the project is $7,900.00 the total cost of the project
including the 15% contingency is $55,832.50. This item will be brought back to the Council for
action.
11.A.3. Consider a presentation concerning an agreement with The Estates of Oak Bluff
Home Owners Association for City of Round Rock cost participation in the construction of a
fence along the west boundary, of Lot 29, Block A. Oak Bluff Estates. Staff Resource Person: •
Jim Nuse, Public Works Director. The Homeowners Association, at the February 26, 1998
Council meeting,made a presentation outlining their plan to construct a fence along the lots on
the west boundary of the subdivision adjoining County Road 122. The Homeowners Association
requested the City to consider a cost participation of$9,000.00 for the construction of the fence.
The lot was acquired by the City through the acquisition of the Oak Bluff Water Supply
Corporation. Mr. Nuse added that if it is the Council's desire to proceed with the construction of
the fence after the lot is sold the proceeds from the sale of the lot will pay for the fence.
PUBLIC HEARINGS:
12.A.1. Consider public testimony concerning;the adoption of the Transportation Master
Plan. Staff Resource Person: Jim Nuse,Public Works Director. Bob Bennett noted that in the •
summer of 1997,the Council asked staff to begin putting together a new Transportation Plan for
the City of Round Rock. A consultant was hired, input was received by many citizens, the
Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council provided input, two formal public
hearings were held that involved 400 citizens directly, 10 informal meetings with small groups
were held, the City produced 12 mail-outs, three newsletters were produced by Lichliter/Jameson
69
January 14, 1999
and there were countless telephone calls from realtors, citizens and newspaper reporters. This
item is another step in finalizing the Transportation Master Plan.
Mr. Bennett added that in terms of importance to the City,this Plan is perhaps the second J
most important City map the City has. The first map is the official Zoning Map of the City. The
Zoning Map of the City has the force of law and is critical in the development of the City. It
•
establishes where the zones are for the City and what the City is to do respective to honoring the
rights of the people who have the property where the zoning is. Similar to that is the
Transportation Plan. The arteries, roads, streets on the Plan can not be randomly moved around
after it has been adopted by the City Council and signed by the Mayor. The map has the force of
law. The streets can be amended to some degree but there are two processes that have to be
followed for staff to make minor adjustments. One step is through the subdivision process which
has to go before the City Council. The subdivision process provides an opportunity for input
from affected citizens around subdivisions. The process is spelled out in the Code and the
Council is involved and it requires public hearings along with citizen participation.
Mr. Bennett concluded that once the Transportation Master Plan map is set, staff will try
• to get the map out to as many people as possible. Also, signs will be posted in rights-of-way to
inform new residents of the roads that are being planned in that area.
Joe Vining said the importance of the Transportation Plan is supported by the fact that it
is an element of the City's General Plan. The ordinance that adopts the Plan replaces Chapter 7
and this is the main element of the Transportation Plan. The roadways will be fine-tuned to the
best approximation of the new alignments. Mr. Vining reiterated that a process has to be
followed before the Transportation map can be changed and the public will have the opportunity
to provide input.
Tom Word presented the Transportation Plan for the Council's consideration. "In terms
of the organization of the Plan, the City has a Plan that is being.called the ultimate roadway plan
and is based on the ultimate build out of the City to the ETJ. That's an estimated population of
236,000 people and the employment of 129,000 jobs within the City. The Plan when you look at
it represents a 50 to 80 year look into the future at thispoint in time. There are two other
roadwayelements that are associated with the Plan.. One element is a 2007 Roadway Plan and the
other is a 2017 Roadway Plan. These two elements of the plan represent the City's best guess as
to what roadways are needed or will belbeeded within those two 10-year time frames as the City
70
January 14, 1999
moves towards the ultimate plan. The Plan will ultimately include a Bicycle Plan but at this point
staff recommended that it be pulled from consideration. Staff would like to make some more
improvements to that element and talk to other groups within the community to get more input.
Staff will come back within a short period of time with that element to be adopted. Notes have
been added to the Plan that were not there in the previous presentation concerning the sequencing •
of the construction of a group of arterials on the west side. The three notes are 1) Arterial"C"
from 620 toH-45 has
S to be built first before some of the other segments; 2 the next segment
that needs to be built was Arterial "C" from Sam Bass Road to 620. 3)Wyoming Springs Road
and/or Great Oaks Drive and/or O'Connor Drive. The main concern from the Wyoming Springs
residents is that they should not unfairly bear the burden of all the transportation west of the
Interstate. The other major area of concern is the cut through traffic on the Deepwood corridor.
Cut through traffic can be relieved through the construction sequence which is build roads in a
sequence so the burden of cut through traffic will not be placed on a specific segment or
subdivision west of the Interstate. Mr. Word added that some of the roads will depend on SH-45
being completed which is several years out into the future. He noted that staff is concerned about
cut through traffic today and is considering initiating traffic calming procedures within the •
Round Rock West community. Traffic calming is a new term and means doing things to the
neighborhood roads to help encourage people drive at speeds that are reasonable for
neighborhoods and to discourage people from using the road as a short cut. Some traffic calming
devices can be stop signs or speed humps.
The east side of the City has improvements to County Road 122 and building Arterial
"A" and Arterial `B". The issue that has been raised is that County Road 122 should it be in the
first ten years of the Plan rather than the second ten years of the Plan. This road is very important
because it carries a lot of traffic. The Bond package that was approved a couple of years ago
included$500,000 for improvements to County Road 122. The City recently received$400,000
from the County for improvements to County Road 122. The improvements for County Road •
122 need to be done very quickly to improve the condition of the road and to the build the
bridge. Staff proposes to widen the existing road, do some pavement work, improve a couple of
alignment situations and do some drainage work. The road will be approximately a 44 foot width
of pavement which will allow a travel lane in each direction, a four foot shoulder and a
continuous left turn lane from Brushy Creek to Forest Creek Drive. This improvement will allow
71
January 14, 1999
staff to focus on the roadway connecting Gattis School Road to US79 so it can be completed
prior to the opening of the new High School."
Mr. Word concluded that building the second arterial will help decrease the current traffic
pressure that is currently on County Road 122.
• Mayor Pro-tem Stluka asked Mr. Word what he anticipates as the time line on the new
arterials and which one does he felt needed to be built first east or west? Mr. Word said the
highest.priority for the City needs to be a north/south connection on the east side simply because
of the opening of the new High School. There are strong needs on the west side but a lot of those
depend on the completion of SH-45 which is possibly 4 to 5 years away at the earliest and it
could be longer. As for the east side of the City, even though the 4B funds for roads are
committed for the next three years on a pay as you go basis, there is potential to get significant
portions of a connection worked through there from development activity.
Mayor Culpepper added that the SIB (State Infrastructure Bank) can be another option for
helping accomplish that. Mr. Word said that the SIB is a new mechanism that the Federal
government authorized as a pilot program. It allows cities and counties to acquire federal
• highway funds at a low financing rate for transportation projects.
Mayor Pro-tem Stluka asked that the hike and bike trail plans not be delayed too long.
Mayor Culpepper opened the public hearing and asked everyone to keep comments to 3
minutes so everyone can be accommodated.
Tom Black, 18224 Whitewater Cove, said that when the Council attended the meeting at
Fern Bluff Elementary during one of the public meetings to listen to the concerns of the residents
about Wyoming Springs it showed a great regard for the citizens. He added that he was not
personally content with the Plan but most of the residents are a lot more satisfied than they were.
Mr. Black asked that the local neighborhoods be included in the final plans for the roadway. He
added that the cost of constructing,Wyoming Springs between Whitewater and Sam Bass Road
• could be as much as two.times as high as on the plan because of the 100-year flood plain, the size
of the bridge that is needed and the endangered species in the area. In closing,Mr. Black noted
that there are enough projects on the east side of the City that have to be done first and suggested
that the extension of Wyoming Springs between Whitewater and.Sam Bass Road be moved into
the second 10-year plan and to spend the 4B money where it is needed today. Mr. Black also
asked that Wyoming Springs be removed from ATS Plan.
72
January 14, 1999
Mike Pavlik, 1000 East Rock Cove, representing the residents of East Rock Cove
expressed his concerns regarding Arterial`B". He submitted a petition signed by 175 residents
from the surrounding areas who will be directly affected by Arterial`B" and noted that everyone
in that area is against Arterial`B" as it is shown. Mr. Pavlik asked the Council to consider
eliminating Arterial`B" from the Transportation Master Plan and to address the widening efforts •
and concerns for Gattis School Road and County Road 122.
Bob Tagge, 2113 Oakridge Drive, asked that the connection from Sam Bass Road to
RM620 be moved up to number one. He said this is important because the City plans to build a
Fire Station on Deepwood Drive and there is still a traffic concern for the people who live off the
Sam Bass Road area when Georgetown Railroad goes through that area. Mr. Tagge said he
would like to see the Georgetown Railroad tracks removed so that Sam Bass Road,RM620 and
McNeil Road are railroad traffic free. He suggested that the railroad be moved to the east by
Westinghouse Road, have a bridge built across IH-35 and align the tracks down the center of SH-
130.
Dick Pruett, 1711 Amber Skyway, thanked Tom Word for all the work he did on the
Transportation Master Plan. He noted that there are people in three areas that would like to have •
seen Arterial"A"go straight. Mr. Pruett added that the only thing worse than having a six-lane
road is having six lanes of traffic on a 4-lane road next to your driveway.
John Gordon, 1007 Green Meadow,noted that the highest priority for the roads is the east
side of the City due to the opening of the new High School. He asked that Doublecreek Drive
from Gattis School Road north to US79 be completed before the senior class of the new High
School"comes onboard". Mr. Gordon added that north of the Brushy Creek there is some open
area that is not in the City limits and the Council should ask Williamson County for help with
funding because the construction of a bridge to cross Brushy Creek is going to cost about$600-
700,000.
Mayor Culpepper said that people don't realize that it was less than a year ago that the •
School District said they were going to build Stoney Point High School. The problem the
Council has had is to get more cooperation between the School District and the City when the
School District plans to build another school. This will allow the City time to plan roads. Mayor
Culpepper added that as soon as the Transportation Master Plan is approved the Council can
issue Certificates of Obligation to get funds to build the bridge on County Road 122 and finish
Jan 4
January 1 , 1999
the improvements on the road. The safety of the children would justify the issuance of the
Certificates.
Mary Ann Dominguez-Reed,resident of Fern Bluff, said, even though the Transportation
Master Plan"is not the most perfect plan, it is the best plan"that she has seen. She complimented
Tom Word for the"excellent"job he did in working with the residents and Joe Vining and his
•
staff for all the help they provided. Ms. Dominguez-Reap noted that the Plan is not a City Plan
but rather a Community Plan and she thanked the Council for that.
Jean Cochran,President of the Fern Bluff MUD,thanked and urged the Council to vote
for the west side proposals.
Kim Oakley,resident of Fern Bluff, said, "this is a very good Plan." She thanked Tom
Word for listening to the residents and the Council for their patience and consideration of the
residents.
There being no further testimony, the public hearing was closed.
Mayor Culpepper thanked Bob Bennett, Tom Word, Joe Vining, and all of the staff for
taking a sensitive issue and getting where they are now.
• 12.B.1. Consider public testimony concerning the reassessment plan in connection with
the Encino Plaza Public Improvement District(PID. Staff Resource Person: Joe Vining,
Planning Director.
Charlie Crossfield, City Attorney,noted that in 1997 the Encino Plaza PID was created.
Since that time Encino Plaza has been resubdivided. The purpose of this public hearing is to hear
testimony regarding the reallocation of the debt. Initially,there were 8 lots and now there are 13
lots, two of the lots have paid off their assessments of approximately$315,000 leaving
approximately$2, 375,000.00.
Mayor Culpepper opened the public hearing. There being no public testimony, the public
hearing was closed.
• ORDINANCES:
Mayor Culpepper dispensed with the order of the agenda and addressed the next item.
13.B.3. Consider an ordinance adopting the Transportation Master Plan. (First Reading)
Mayor Pro-tem Stluka suggested that the Council accept the Plan as presented in concept,
recognizing and accepting all the arterials as presented and recognizing that the final alignment
of these may change as they go through the platting process.
74
January 14, 1999
In response to Mayor Culpepper's question, Mr. Word said a note can be added to the
Plan that states the alignment of the arterials may move based on the final platting process.
Councilman Hairston asked Mr. Word if John Gordon's idea about approaching
Williamson County for the funding of road improvements outside the City limits can be used?
Mr. Word said staff is always looking for partners for projects and would be happy to approach •
the County about how they might go into partnership with the City to improve the transportation
in Williamson County.

Councilman Hairston made the following statement. "This is a significant step in the right
direction and I would like to remind everybody that even though we have a Plan, the Plan will
change because the assumptions that certain things are going to occur between now and the next
50 years may or may not occur. The Plan is nothing but planning is everything and the
involvement of the community in this particular Plan is most important. Watching the
•
assumptions,monitoring the environment to see what is occurring, if the population is growing,
if we are getting more people moving here, if there is more traffic,more businesses. This Plan
has to adapt to what is occurring because some of our assumptions may be very true and some of
the other assumptions may be very false; and also, as Tom brought out, this Plan can be
amended and those circumstances change but when the priorities or values of this community
have to change in order to keep us a prosperous community. My father once told me that
promises can be written on a block of ice or they can be written on a block of concrete. What you
actually want to do is not write them in either. When you write them in concrete you can't adapt.
When you write them in a block of ice nobody remembers them. We have a good Plan because
we had excellent planning and planning is continuous and so Round Rock needs to pat itself on
• the back for this particular Plan and most importantly the planning process."
Mayor Culpepper said, "What we did do is identify some corridors and some phasing of
projects so that at least we can move forward."
Mr. Word recognized the contributions that the consultant, Lichliter/Jameson, offered
through the whole process.

City will be partnering with Williamson County for those portions of right-of-way that are •
outside of the city limits as well as they have been working to acquire some of the right-of-way
within the tract adjacent to the stadium. It would provide the City to pay 20% of the cost of
construction and the State will pay for 90% of the reimbursable utility costs, 80% of the
construction costs and all of the construction engineering. Staff recommended approval of the
Minute Order.

with Psencik Construction Ltd. for work associated with the installation of backflow prevention
devices of water interconnect points with Brushy Creek MUD. Staff Resource Person: Jim Nuse,
Public Works Director. The change order describes proposed changes at the Fern Bluff and FM
620 interconnect sites. The Fern Bluff tank site was added after Brushy Creek MUD refused to •
give the City access to the original contract site located inside their jurisdictional area. This
relocation required extra work due to the existing piping layout inside the tank site. The second
site, (FM 620), was relocated to ensure the backflow prevention devices remained in Round
Rock's ETJ boundary. The relocation requires a larger vault and"hot"taps to complete the
installation. The total for this change order is $23,242.00. The City has received$80,000.00

PRESENTATIONS:
3.A.1. Consider a presentation concerning the financing, design and Lease Agreement
for the Round Rock Convention Center Complex Staff Resource Person: Bob Bennett, City
Manager. Mr. Bennett said David Kautz will outline the financing of the Complex, Steve Sheets
will outline the lease agreement and highlight major points and Reid Ryan will give a visual
presentation on the architectural aspects of the stadium.
David Kautz outlined the following:
Project Financing SummarX
• The City will purchase 40 acres of land upon which
it will construct a Convention Center/Stadium Complex.
Land Cost(40 acres at$20k/ac) $ 800,000
Estimated construction cost(including architect fees) 13,800,000
Total estimated project cost $14,600,000
Sources of Funds for the Project
City provides cash to the project(from tax-exempt revenue
bonds,backed by the Hotel Occupancy Tax) $ 7,275,000
RSR Sports provides cash to the project 7,325,000
(RSR will provide additional funds as required)
Total Sources of Funds $14,600,000
To finance the City's contribution to the project staff will compose the issuance of Hotel
Occupancy Tax Revenue Bonds.

In conclusion, Mr. Kautz explained how the funds, which would derive from the Hotel
Occupancy Tax revenue stream, would actually be used. The Flow of Funds from the Hotel
Occupancy Tax is as follows.
• Hotel Occupancy Tax Revenue - The City receives this as the local hotels collect the
tax in a quarterly basis.
• Debt Service Requirements (as scheduled) - This is to make debt service payments to
a debt service fund,which also includes the debt service reserve fund. w
• Working Capital $125,000 - This is established from proceeds of the Hotel
Occupancy Tax and that remains in tack through the term of the financing. It will be
used to cover the City's cost as those costs are incurred in anticipation of receiving
the quarterly Hotel Occupancy Taxes.
97
January 20, 1999
• Tourism Related Events $260,000 + - This is the current annual funding level. There
is an opportunity under the Lease Agreement for this funding level to grow over time.
• Capital Repair Work Account $250,000 - This will be used to make major Capital
repairs to the facility. The City as the owner and lessor would be obligated to make
these repairs and as funds are spent out of this account it would then be required to be
•
built up to it's cap of$250,000.
• Capital Improvement Program Account $100,000/$500,000 - Funds are available up
to $100,000 per year to be put into this account for a maximum of$500,000. This is
available to the City if it desires to make enhancements or additions to the facility.
• Any Lawful Purpose (remainder) - If any funds are left over in that particular period
they can be used for any lawful purpose but they will be restricted to the Hotel
Occupancy Tax Fund.
Mr. Bennett said that the City's contribution, the cash to the project, is locked in at
$7,275,000.00 and this figure will go no lower and will go no higher.
In response to Councilman Hairston's question, Mr. Bennett said, "RSR did give the City the
• money to purchase the land and that has not changed and is reflected in the $800,000
contribution under the Project Financing Summary."
Steve Sheets outlined the Lease Agreement and explained specific points of the document. Some
of those points were:
• The lease is for 25 full baseball seasons. If for some reason the stadium is not
completed in time to have a full season next year then the first year will not be
counted.
• • The level of contribution from the team was increased to $7,325,000 so the City can
afford to do without rent payments and allows the City to do tax exempt financing.
• The permitted uses fora "convention center complex" as defined by §351.001 of the
Texas Tax Code shall include the conducting of conventions, meetings, trade shows,
exhibitions, concerts, public entertainment events, professional minor league baseball
games (including radio and television broadcasting [or other transmission]of the
same), other baseball games and sporting events, and other similar functions that will
encourage tourism in the City of Round Rock and/or promote the arts.

• The lessee has the right and option to extend the term of the lease for one additional
extended period of ten (10) years, at fair market rent if the Council agrees, upon
receipt of a written notice to the Ci on or before September 30 2023 which is two
City p ,
years before the lease would expire. The notice would state the intent to exercise the
option p n and an opinion of the bond counsel for the City that the extension of the lease
•
will not adversely affect the tax exempt status of any debt issued related to the
Convention Center.
• Any permanent improvements that are done to the facility even if the lessee paid for
them belong to the City at the termination of the lease.
• The lessee is responsible for paying taxes and other charges that has to do with the
operation and maintenance of the facility.
• The Lessee agrees to operate and maintain the Leased Premises throughout the Term
in a condition necessary to conduct the permitted uses described in Section 3.5.
• If the City, some time in the future, should decide to construct another Convention
Center then RSR will have the right of first refusal to 'manage it. That is if there is
someone else that wants to manage the facility RSR has the right to manage it under •
the same terms that they have agreed to but if the other entity offers the City a better
deal and RSR says they can't do it for that then the City can use the other
Management Company. The City's golf course does not apply to the right of first
refusal.
• The Lessee agrees to provide annually a budget on the proposed Capital Improvement
Work and Capital Repair Work:
• The Lessee shall provide and install, at its cost and expense, a double-A minor league
quality scoreboard at the Convention Center. At the expiration of this Lease, the
scoreboard shall become the property of the City.
• The City shall be entitled to use the Leased Premises up to twenty (20) dates per year
for the conduct of City sponsored programs. The City shall be responsible for all costs
of operating the Convention Center for such event and for all damage caused,
janitorial, security, traffic control and other services needed. The City shall be entitled
to use the meeting facilities in the Convention Center as its sole cost and expense on
99
January 20, 1999
an as available basis.
• All municipal sales taxes arising from ticket sales for taxable amusement services at
the Convention Center are to be allocated to the City even if they are not sold in the
City. All telephone solicitations and sales will be made in a manner, which permits
• the City to collect the sales taxes generated and the Lessee shall in good faith attempt
to do so in a manner which permits the City to collect the sales taxes generated.
• The Lessee agrees that during the Term of the Lease that it will ensure that a
professional baseball team uses the Leased Premises for all of its home games. The
team will be either a Double-A or triple-A team or reasonable equivalent. All home
games during the Term shall be played at the Leased Premises. If the Lessee shall lose
or relinquish its baseball franchise, league affiliation, or player development contract,
the Lessee shall continue to be obligated to field a team sanctioned by a Sanctioning
Association at the Leased Premises. Failure to provide said team will be considered as
an event of default.
• The Lessee shall cause the Concession Improvement to be constructed at Lessees sole
• cost and expense.
• The General Commercial Liability has a $1,000,000 policy and in addition to this
there is an Umbrella Excess Liability Policy for$5,000,000.
• Prior to December 31, 2007,Nolan Ryan shall not assign, sell, transfer, or convey any
of his interest in the Lessee without the prior written consent of the City, which
consent may be granted or withheld in the City's sole judgement; provided however
that the consent of the City shall not be required for Nolan Ryan to assign, sell,
transfer, or convey any of his interest to Don Sanders, Reid Ryan, or any trust created
by Nolan Ryan for his benefit or the benefit of any of his family members.
• Events of Default are addressed in the Lease Agreement and the remedy for default is
that the lease is terminated and the City will have a facility that is paid for and be free
to lease it to someone else. Nowhere in the document is the City dependent on lease
payments to make the debt service payment.
• This lease is not valid until the Lessee executes and delivers to the City that one
certain Master Agreement Regarding Convention Center Complex Development in
100
January 20, 1999
the form and substance acceptable to the City and Lessee and that the Debt Plan as
defined in the Master Agreement be approved by the City and Lessee.
• It is the intention of the parties that the Agreements comply with the provisions of
Chapter 351 of the Tax Code, as amended, and in the event of a conflict between the
applicable provisions of the Tax Code and the Agreements, Chapter 351 of the Tax •
Code shall govern. Additionally, if any conflict exists between the Agreements and
the Bond Documents, the Bond Document shall govern.
In conclusion, Mr. Sheets said Exhibit "A" is an attempt to describe the 40 acres as best
as possible at this point in time. The closing on the 88-acre tract is scheduled to occur January
27, 1999. After the architects help determine the exact location of the stadium, the 40 acres will
be surveyed and a metes and bounds description will be substituted in Exhibit"A".
Reid Ryan used the architectural drawings provided-by HKS to describe each area of the
Convention Center Complex.
RESOLUTIONS:
4.A.1. Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a Convention Center
Complex Lease Agreement. Staff Resource Person: Bob Bennett City Manager.
er. •
Councilman Hairston made the following statement, "I had a great deal of concerns about
this particular project. What staff has presented to me is a better agreement between the public
and the private firm RSR, Inc. I like the fact that we are receiving on RSR's part a little over $7
million up front in the construction of the stadium. Also, RSR was very generous in providing
funds to purchase the land. I also like the fact that'Chapter 351 basically is setting the tempo as
well as the bond document in case there are any conflicts. We have a lease agreement for 25
years. I see this project as enhancing the quality of life in Round Rock. It's not so much to me an
economic development project but I believe it will enhance the quality of life here in Round
Rock. After looking over other stadium deals that occurred throughout the country basically this
is one of the better ones. Local facilities have been known to pay anywhere from 75-90% of the •
construction cost. I could only find one other perhaps city in the United States where the private
participant participated for more than 50% of the cost but usually localities bare the brunt of the
cost. The risk has been minimized to the City so I believe that the 4 or 5 months that we spent
going over this we have come up with a better deal. A better deal for Round Rock and a better
101
January 20, 1999
deal for RSR, Inc."
Mayor Culpepper thanked all of the staff that was involved with this project. He added, "I
knew as I said from day one; if Nolan Ryan couldn't bring professional baseball to Central
Texas, nobody could. He has a lot of help on the other side at the Express organization which is
• first class, and as the citizens get to know them,they are going to appreciate that too."
Mr. Bennett thanked the Council for giving staff very specific negotiating instructions.
Councilman Hairston asked that a tape of this meeting be placed in the Public Library.for
the residents to review.
Mayor Culpepper read the following resolution.

CITIZENS COMMUNICATIONS:
Christal Finke, 2609 Oakmeadow Drive, expressed her concern with the statements
contained in a recent newspaper article concerning the Mayor's request for an opinion from the
Ethics Review Commission. She said that Mayor Culpepper and Steve Sheets referred to
Councilman Joseph and El Matador in the article. She said, "On behalf of El Matador Restaurant
and the Joseph family we do not appreciate you lumping Jimmy into your category. The Round
Rock Express ate in our restaurant but by no means did they spend near $500. We never catered
anything for the Round Rock Express nor did we hold their victory party. Therefore, Councilman
• Joseph never needed to have the Ryan's disclose any business transactions because he did not
break the City ordinance. So in the future when you, Mr. Mayor, and you, Mr. Sheets are being
interviewed by the media do not try to ruin Jimmy's name, his good honest name. Unlike you
he's done nothing wrong."
Beth Carlile, 2612 Sinclair, said she lives in the Blessing Mobile Home area and the residents
still have water and sewer problems and would still like for the City to come in and help them
out: She added that the La Frontera development and her property will have a common fence.
104
January 28, 1999
She complimented the developer for working with the Blessing Mobile Homes neighborhood
and Chisholm Valley Subdivision.
In response to the previous speaker, Ms. Carlile expressed her support for Mayor
Culpepper and concluded, "Mayor Culpepper you have done a good job and I don't think you
deserve what is happening to you." •
Ms. Carlile also expressed her concern that there is not a number a citizen can call if there
are technical difficulties during the airing of the Council meeting. She added that McNeil Road at
County Road 172 needs re-stripping. Mr. Bennett said the re-stripping will be taken care of and
the television equipment in the Council Chamber is antiquated and the Council is looking at
budgeting some money to upgrade not only the sound but the picture.
PROCLAMATIONS: None
PRESENTATIONS:
7.A.1. Consider a presentation concerning the City of Round Rock election precincts.
Staff Resource Person: Joanne Land, Assistant City Manager. Ms. Land noted that the City of
Round Rock will conduct a City election on May 1, 1999 for the purpose of electing the Mayor,
Council, Place 1 and Council, Place 4. For the last severaltY
ears, the Ci and the Round Rock •
Y
Independent School District have contracted with the Williamson County Election Administrator
to conduct our annual elections.
Voting precincts approved by Williamson and Travis Counties and located within the
City have been combined for the purposes of voting. City staff, the County and School District
determined that the growth in population within the City has caused the usual polling places for
the combined precincts to have an excessive number of voters. Staff recommended that three (3)
additional City polling places be created which will make the City's total number of polling
places five (5). This will make the polling places more readily,accessible to voters and reduce the
number of voters required to be accommodated at each polling place.
Ms. Land added that there are approximately 30,000 registered voters in the City thus •
making about 6,000 registered voters per City/School polling place. If 10% of the registered
voters vote, that is about 600 voters per polling place,which is well within what has been seen in
the past.
When determining the polling places staff tried to keep each polling place at one that had
been established by the County. Staff recommended the following precincts and locations.
105
January 28, 1999
City Precinct No 1 will combine three (3) County precincts and will vote at Robertson
Elementary.
City Precinct No. 2 will combine three (3) Williamson County precincts and one (1)
Travis County precinct and will vote at Gattis Elementary.
City Precinct No. 3 will combine three (3) County precincts and will vote at First Baptist
•
Church.
City Precinct No. 4 will combine three (3) County precincts and will vote at Round Rock
High School.
r,
City Precinct No. 5 will combine three (3) Williamson County precincts and one (1)
Travis County precincts and will vote at Bluebonnet Elementary instead of Chisholm Valley
Middle School.
Ms. Land noted that Councilman Hairston had some concerns about the locations of the
polling places on the east side of the City. Staff discussed Councilman Hairston's concern with
John Willingham, the Elections Administrator. Mr. Willingham looked at Bluebonnet
Elementary and determined that it was a better location than Chisholm Valley Middle School for
• the fifth City and School precinct.
Ms. Land concluded that additional cost of the extra three polling places will be less than
$3,700. $1,500 for Election Day costs directly related to the election and approximately $2,200
is for voter notification because staff wants a personalized letter sent to each registered voter to
explain why the need for additional City precincts and their locations. The School Board
approved these locations on January 21, 1999. Staff will bring this back for Council
consideration and action at the February 11, 1999 meeting.
Councilman Stewart asked staff to make sure that the School Board acts on the change in
location for Precinct No. 5 from Chisholm Valley Middle School to Bluebonnet Elementary.
PUBLIC HEARINGS:
• 8 A 1 Consider public testimony to adopt original zoning of PUD (Planned Unit

and the owners are working with staff on the establishment of the right-of-way for Arterial `B".
Applicant: Alienn Warner. Agent: Stendebach&Associates.
In response to Councilwoman Chavez's question, Mr. Vining said that there is a place for
flexibility in the placement of Arterial `B" south of US79 because there are a lot of things that
need to be determined south of US79. Most importantly the crossing of the railroad track which
is a major element on the location of the arterial.

SWEAR IN NEWLY APPOINTED CHIEF OF POLICE
Paul N. Conner was sworn in as Chief of Police by Judge John R. Carter. Chief Conner
made the following statement. "Thank you, What an honor it is to have been selected as Chief of
Police for the City of Round Rock. I want to thank the selection committee and, especially, our
City Manager Bob Bennett who had the faith and confidence in me to select me as your Chief of
Police and, of course, I would be remise if I did not mention the dedicated men and women of
the Round Rock Police Department who are represented in numbers here this evening. I can tell
you over the past four days that I have been here, even in the short time, with my 27 years in law
enforcement, I have never seen a more dedicated and talented group of men and women that
serve their community than the men and women that are exemplified here tonight that represent
•
the City of Round Rock. In these last 4 days they have opened up their arms and their families to
me and I can not tell you how it made me feel to be able to come into,this family and be a
member and realize that with all the challenges that are going to be facing us in the future with
the growth of this community, that nowhere, is there a more talented group of people and
enthusiastic that are just dying to work together to build this department and to continue to build
119
February 11, 1999
these bonds with the community, than the men and women of the Round Rock Police
Department. I can't tell you how excited I am to get started and I know that they are too and to
continue this. Again, I want thank you and to especially the family that I am now a part of and
able to represent."
CITIZENS COMMUNICATIONS:
• Beth Carlile 2612 Sinclair, congratulated Mayor Culpepper on the ruling that was given
by the Ethics Review Commission. Ms. Carlile thanked Councilwoman Chavez for her dedicated
service and added the citizens are behind her 100%. Ms. Carlile requested that the Council
contact the local newspapers and have them publish
a list of telephone numbers and addresses of
the City's State Representatives and Senators so that everyone can try to get this law changed
because if her check was not coming from the State of Texas she would not have known she was
a State employee. She added that this law (schoolteachers as State employees cannot accept
payment for serving as a Councilmember)will limit the people that will serve the community.
Posey McClung, 1603 Karen Cove, and Barbara Houts, 1708 Hermitage, spoke on
Daffodil Days. Ms. McClung introduced members of the Senior Citizens Foundation Barbara
• Houts, Ruth Koughan, Rick Thompson and Beth Carlile. Ms. McClung added that Councilman
Stewart is also a member of the Foundation. Ms. McClung announced that the 4th Annual
Daffodil Days will be March 6th. Activities will be held at the Senior Center and proceeds will
benefit the programs for the seniors. In conclusion, Ms. McClung said the seniors are selling
4
coverlets in blue, green and cranberry for $45. The coverlets have prominent places of Round
Rock. Proceeds from the coverlet will go toward the purchase of a van for the Senior Center.
PROCLAMATIONS:
I.A. Consider a proclamation proclaiming February 14-20 1999 Career and Technology
Education Week. Mayor Culpepper read the appropriate proclamation and presented,it to Linda
Kelley.
Ms. Kelley introduced teachers that were present and students from the area schools that
• were present introduced themselves to the Council.
PRESENTATIONS:
8.A.1. Consider a presentation concerning the proposed revision of the Water and
Wastewater Impact Fees. Staff Resource Person: Jim Nuse,Public Works Department. Mr.Nuse
highlighted portions of the Land Use Assumptions Relating to the Possible Adoption of Impact
Fees document that was provided to the Council. He noted that the projections used for the
Transportation Master Plan were used for determining the ten-year population projections for
120
February 11, 1999
this report. The area currently being served is 65 square miles. The Brushy Creek MUD as of
October 1998 has 3,185 connections onto the system and Fern Bluff has 615 active connections.
The document shows how the different land uses are used and it explains the living unit
equivalent breakdown.
Mayor Pro-tem Stluka asked if the figures will change since we are currently in the
pg p
process of reviewing the General Land Use Plan. Nuse responded that the study will be renewed •
every three years so any adoptions that were conducted during that period will be reflected.
Mr.Nuse outlined the ten-year period for Table 1 Water Population and LUE
Calculations and the ten-year period in Table 2 Wastewater Population and LUE Calculations.
The document includes Water Improvements that include five(5)major projects that are
universal to the system. Those are:
Project No. 1: Excess capacity in recently expanded Water Treatment Plant utilized in 10
year study period(years 1998 through 2008).
Project No. 2: Portion of capacity to be used in the 10 year study period for a future 11
MGD Water Treatment Plat expansion.
Project No. 3: Excess Capacity in recently constructed 30"raw water line#2 utilized in •
10 year study period.
Project No. 4: Capacity required in future 42"raw water line to Lake Stillhouse Hollow
utilized in 10 year study period.
Project No. 5: Portion of capacity to be used in the 10 year study period for two 1.25
million gallon(mg) and one .5 mg elevated water storage tanks and related improvements.
Total actual and estimated cost of Water Treatment, Transmission,Pumping and Storage
Facilities for a 10 year growth period(years 1998 through 2008):
Project No. Actual or Estimated Cost
1 $4,577,775.00

4 $3,720,915.00
5 $44,299,724.00
Total $26,176,535.00
Mr. Nuse outlined the Table 5 which is the 10 Year BRA/LCRA Estimated Cost
Allocation to City of Round Rock and the calculation of the impact fee for wastewater.
Wastewater Collection $ 387.68 per LUE

February 11, 1999
Wastewater Treatment $1,987.39 per LUE

(Living Unit Equivalent) for water the study has shown$3,482.3 land for wastewater$2,375.07
for a total maximum potential of$5,857.38.
• In conclusion Mr.Nuse said that thep rocess that is followed is very strict in order to
adopt the fees. This presentation of the overall fee is the first step in the process. Staff is not
recommending any levels of assessing fees at this time but merely informing Council of the first
cut of the report and to be aware of the schedule to adopt the fees. The proposed Impact Fee
Review Schedule for the Consolidation of Land Use Assumptions and Capital Improvements
Plan is:
3/10/99 Advisory Committee Work Session on Land Use Assumptions
3/11/99 Council sets Public Hearing date,time and place
3/31/99 Advisory Committee Work Session on Capital Improvements (Special Called
Joint Planning and Zoning Commission/CIAC to held on regular Planning and
Zoning Commission meeting date)
• 4/08/99 1st notice of public hearing published in Round Rock Leader(39 days before
hearing)
4/15/99 2nd notice of public hearing published in Round Rock Leader
4/22/99 3rd notice of public hearing published in Round Rock Leader
5/05/99 Advisory Committee holds public hearing (regular meeting date for Planning and

business day of public hearing)
5/27/99 Public Hearing and first reading of the ordinance by the City Council

In response to Mayor Pro-tem Stluka's question,Mr. Nuse said the current fees are water
is $1,345.00 and wastewater is $1,,250.00 for a combined total.of$2,595.00.
• In response to Councilman Joseph's question,Mr. Nuse said that builders and other
members of the community will be contacted for input in addition to the required notification
process.
In response to Councilman Hairston's question,Mr.Nuse said there have been no
increases since the original adoption of the impact fees in 1987. He added that the whole
building community is very sensitive to anything that increases their cost because they feel that
: f
122
February 11, 1999
any increase in the cost of providing the housing will knock a certain amount of people out of the
market so there is a lot of sensitivity especially in the home building side of it.
Mayor Culpepper asked Mr.Nuse to provide the Council with the impact fees for the
surrounding cities for single family only.
Councilman Hairston asked Mr.Nuse to put in context the additional fees a builder has to
pay to see how competitive
we are. •
Mayor Culpepper added that when an individual takes out a building permit to build a
single family home what do they have to pay.
8.A.2. Consider a presentation concerning an agreement with R. W. Harden&
Associates, Inc. for groundwater exploration. Staff Resource Person: Jim Nuse, Public Works
Director. This agreement is to conduct a ground water exploration program for the City. The
program will attempt to locate favorable sites for production water wells in the Edwards Aquifer
on property the City provides. Harden&Associates will provide professional services and
subcontract the drilling itself under this agreement. This is a$300,000 contract and that is to
conduct a complete exploration.
Mr. Harden reported that R.W. Harden&Associates are groundwater specialists. The •
purpose of the exploration is to seek added well sites, to increase normal capacity, to help meet
summer demands and to lower the overall wholesale water costs to the City. The program details
and estimated cost for drilling and pumping is $220,000. If the entire program was done, the
program will include up to about 30 test holes,up to 7 special tests to evaluate the test holes and
up to about 3 larger pumping tests that may be needed if they find successful sites. Each of the
individual components is variable in their amounts depending on what kind of conditions are
encountered at each test hole site. The cost for professional services is $80,000. This includes the
design and testing during the program, coordination with the City, sampling and laboratory work
quality, evaluations periodically during the program and recommendations on the well design for
any successful test holes that can be made into moderate or large capacity production wells. This
totals up to $300,000 depending largely on the number of test holes and the number of tests. •
8.A.3. Consider a presentation concerning an Interlocal Agreement with WCID for the
participation in drainage study. Staff Resource Person: Jim Nuse,Public Works Director. The
upper Brushy Creek Water Control and Improvement District of Williamson and Milam
Counties is charged with generating 46 flood control structures. Several of these dams have been
determined to be hydologically inadequate by the Corp of Engineers. The WCID does not have
sufficient funds to upgrade these dams and is undertaking a study to determine the costs of
' 123
k
February 11, 1999
improvements. Freese and Nichols, an engineering firm,has been chosen to study the dams and
prepare a preliminary study that will be the frame work for a Capital Improvement Program.
The financial requirements of the Capital Improvement Program will be presented to the voters
of the upper Brushy Creek Water and Control Improvement District for their approval to receive
taxing authority. The City of Austin and Williamson County have each agreed to pay one third of
• the$65,000 for the study. Staff recommended that the City enter into a participation agreement
and pay one third of the,$65,000 drainage study with regional detention funds. This item will be
brought back to the Council in two weeks for consideration.
Councilman Stewart expressed his concern that when Round Rock shares expenses with
Williamson County in effect the citizens are being taxed twice. Mr.Nuse noted that Round
Rock's contribution is being made from the Regional Detention Fund which is funded by the
development community and no City tax dollars are being used to pay for the study.
Mayor Culpepper noted that Round Rock is directly affected more than any of the
surrounding entities,which makes it a public safety issue. Mr.Nuse noted that 6 of the
structures are in Round Rock's city limits and approximately 14 of the structures directly affect
• our watershed and Round Rock has no control over any of them.
8.B.1. Consider a presentation on implementation of Chapter 3 (Home Ownership
Assistance Program) of the 1999 Communi1y Development Block Grant Action PlanStaff
Resource Person: Tim Jenkins, Senior Planner. The HomePlan USA Employer Assisted Housing
Program is a program which employers of residents of the City provide down payment and
closing cost assistance to their respective employees as an employee benefit. Such assistance
would be used in conjunction with additional down payment and closing cost assistance to be
provided by Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) and the City. This
program will be utilized with Round Rock's Home Ownership Assistance Program(HOAP).
HOAP will provide to qualified first time income eligible homebuyers a non-interest bearing
non-assumable loan to be used to assist with purchasing their first home. The Community
• Development Action Plan was approved last summer and one of the projects is Project 3: Home
Ownership Assistance Program. This program has two activities: 3-1) City run down payment
Assistance Program and 3-2)Employer Assisted Housing Initiative. The Strategic Objective is to
provide assistance to 10 to 15 low moderate-income families every year for a total of 75 in a
five-year period. This was based on the anticipated amount of$60,000 of Community
Development Block Grant funds that is received annually. This City program for any eligible
applicant will be implemented next month. In the Needs Assessment it was determined that
124
February 11, 1999
"over 38% of Round Rock families currently are unable to afford the median-level home of
$114,000. The continued rise of housing prices coupled with declining incomes for segments of
the workforce is resulting in fewer home ownership opportunities for Round Rock families who
are currently renting." The Employer Assisted Housing Initiative is a demonstration project that
the City is requesting funding of up to $300,000 from the Texas Department of Housing and
Community Affairs. The City will apply for TDH A funding in partnership with HomePlan,
USA and help identify participating employers. Eligible participants will then apply through
their employer and HomePlan,USA. The roles and responsibilities are as follows:
City of Round Rock
• Provide down payment assistance
• Provide program administration of TDHCA funding
• Participate as Employer
HomePlan,USA
• Provide homeownership counseling
• Assist to applicants in loan process, getting down payment assistance, finding local
available housing
• Assist participating Employers in establishing program. •
TDH A
• Commit up to $300,000 for Round Rock's program
• Provide funds to City for distribution to eligible applicants.
Freddie MAC
• Purchase home mortgage loans at the time of closing of such loans which were made
through the program.
MGIC
• Insure home mortgage loans at the time of closing of such loans made through the
program
Employers •
• Implement organization's program under the guidance of HomePlan,USA
• Identify eligible applicants and guide them through process to gain assistance
• Monitor participants after gaining assistance and provide annual status report to City
of Round Rock.
125
February 11, 1999
In response to Councilman Joseph's question, Mr. Jenkins said the loan is a non-
assumable loan but if they default on their mortgage NGIC will cover that and provide
reimbursement to the City and he program.
In response to Councilman Hairston's question,Mr. Jenkins said the qualifications are for
first time homeowner, someone that has not owned a home in the last three years and if they fall
• under the 80% of median familyincome which was determined as of January 27 1999 to be
ary ,
$55,400.
In response to Councilman Stewart's question, Mr. Jenkins said this will be applicable to
Round Rock residents only if that is the Council's desire. The criteria has not been established
but residency requirements can be included along with first priority to Round Rock residents and
to use current housing stock.
In response to Mayor Pro-tem Stluka's question, Mr. Jenkins said the median income is
based on the Austin-San Marcos Metropolitan Statistical Area and designated by HUD at the
federal level.
In response to Councilman Hairston's question, Mr. Jenkins said the principals for
• HomePlan USA, are Gene Watkins Partnership, Fulbright & Jaworski LLP, Legal Counsel,
Freddie MAC and MGIC.
At the request of Mayor Culpepper, Mr. Jenkins explained why the City is working with
Gene Watkins. He added that the City is not paying Mr. Watkins to participate and none of the
grant money will go to HomePlan,USA.

with HDR Engineering, Inc. for the development of Well No. 9. Staff Resource Person: Jim

detection once the turbidity exceeds 5 mtu's which is the maximum that staff would feel
comfortable putting in the system. Once the turbidity reaches 5 mtu's the pumps can
instantaneously cut off and won't allow it into the system and it will go into an automatic flush
mode. The engineering agreement is $29,900.00 to prepare the plans for redevelopment of the
a 131

CITY MANAGER'S REPORT: Bob Bennett noted that the quarterly report of
investment transactions was provided to the Council. He added that a resolution concerning SH-
130 will be on the Council's next agenda.
COUNCIL COMMENTS:
Mayor Pro-tem Stluka said, "In light of the unfortunate circumstances that
Councilwoman Chavez has gone through I would like to suggest that the Council consider
drafting a resolution to send to the Texas Municipal League, Senator Ogden and Representative
Krusee to sponsor legislation that will repeal the specific law and exempt schoolteachers from
• the current law that prohibits State employees from receiving compensation for serving on the
City Council." He added that he asked Joanne Land to include in the Election Packets that as
current law states a teacher is considered a State employee and cannot receive compensation for
serving as a Councilmember. Also, that if there is any third party involved with this they need to
advise their employees on this regulation. Mayor Pro-tem Stluka concluded that at the
recommendation of Mayor Culpepper ATS has been renamed. ATS will now be called Capital
Area Metropolitan Planning Organization. The meetings will be held once a quarter outside of
Austin and the first one will be held in Round Rock. Greg Boatright is Vice-Chairman and
Senator Gonzalo Barrientos is still Chairman.
Councilman Hairston noted that he will co-sponsor Mayor Pro-tem Stluka's suggestion
for the resolutionco cerning schoolteachers. Councilman Hairston reminded everyone that this
• is Black Histoonth "Where we are looking at the role or influence of Americans of African
rY g
culture and heritage of this country. I have been asked to speak at several school sites this month.
What I have noticed is that teaching or lecturing to children when we talk about the role of this
particular ethnic group, we are talking about the roles of all ethnic groups and what made this
country the prosperous place it is and, in spite of difficult times, somewhat angry times, this
country has one thing that other countries don't have. We don't hide from the truth. Somehow
140
February 11, 1999
we do get beyond the hard truth that some people will say will split the nation apart or tear things
apart. I, for one, believe that since this country confronts the truth and somehow tries to manage
it's way to the best possible end, that is what will keep us prosperous." Councilman Hairston
encouraged everyone to visit the Library or local bookstores on the role and influence of
Americans of African influence in this country and to get involved in American History again.
Mayor Culpepper welcomed Councilman Palmer back from his recent surgery. •

Councilman Palmer announced that the Round Rock Community Choir Madrigal Dinner
Performances will be February 19th and February 20th at the Inn of Brushy Creek.
Councilwoman Chavez said, "I learned early in my tenure on the Council and I continue
to believe that one of many strengths of this community is the excellent staff that is responsible
for day to day operations of this City. I have heard many people express the same sentiment
through the years that I have served on the Council. I assure everyone that I continue to have the
utmost confidence in the City staff and the City Attorney, and I will continue to seek their input
and advise as I carry out my duties as a Councilmember. Although some place blame on the City
Attorney for what has occurred, everyone should remember that the Texas Constitution is a five
volume document and finding a small provision about State employees and making the inference
that public schoolteachers are State employees is extremely difficult. The City Attorney's wife,
the Mayor's wife, and at one point Mayor Pro-tem Stluka's wife, are public schoolteachers and
we have never considered ourselves employees of the State. It's a poor provision, an
exclusionary provision, and I sincerely hope that it can be changed by the legislature and the
citizens of Texas. I have total confidence in Steve Sheets who has provided excellent service to
the City in the past and I will continue to seek his counsel when necessary. I also want to thank
the Council and many other friends for their expressed support in this matter."
Councilman Joseph welcomed Councilman Palmer back and echoed Mayor Pro-tem
Stluka's comments. He welcomed Paul Conner, the new Police Chief, and added that he looks
forward to working with him. Councilman Joseph said he received two e-mail greetings one
from Nigeria and the other from Major Bobby Arrington who is stationed in Bosnia. •

Note:*1 —Timing of the available funds is unknown
Mr. Bennett noted that there are many projects the Council has been talking about over
the last couple of months. Staff would like a consent on the type of budget staff should put
together to bring back to the Council as a legislative matter. Currently the requests are about
$67,000 greater than funds are available.
• Mr. Bennett outlined the following:
Proposed Expenditures
Chisholm Trail Statuary $200,000
This project was brought to staff by Councilman Palmer and has been supported by other
Councilmembers. The location for the statues is along the west side of Chisholm Trail between
RR620 and Brushy Creek. The City purchased the land, except for a portion by the Creek, but
142
February 25, 1999
anticipates acquiring that property over the next couple of weeks. The money that was used to
purchase the land was not from the $200,000. This money is intended to clear property, help
begin building parking lots and to purchase some of the statuary.
Sharon Prete added that the Chamber of Commerce set aside $6,000 through the Tourism
Committee that has been raised by selling the prints and tabletop rendition of the statuary. John
Moman is donating his services to design the Park. Staff is working with a landscape architect
through Carter Burgess who is also donating his time. The preliminary sketches should be ready
in two to three weeks, which would be reviewed by a Chamber Committee. Some members of
the Committee are Councilman Palmer, Judy McLeod, Tom Word and Sharon Prete. The Plan
will have to be taken before the Historic Preservation Commission and the Council. The project
consists of the statues,three longhorns and a rider on horseback,parking and landscaping and the
funds would be used to complete the first phase of the project.
In response to Mayor Pro-tem Stluka's question, Ms. Prete said, "The Chamber of
Commerce is also considering a fund raising event to raise additional funds for this project. One
effort is a paver project where families can purchase a brick and put their name of it."
Councilman Hairston said his would like to see a realistic cattle drive reflected on the site
to draw the tourist. Councilman Palmer said he would like the City to take on the first phase of
this project and make it work all the way through rather than"piecemeal."
Koughan Park , 0
Mr. Bennett noted that this project is now total funded.
Downtown Sidewalks $250,000
Jim Nuse said four options were considered for the downtown sidewalks. The first option
is do nothing and continue the process that is currently being done that is to replace the pavers
with the grout. Staff found a process that is a permanent solution, which is take out the damaged
paver, replace it, grout and paint it with a stencil so it resembles the paver. The second option •
will be a standard concrete sidewalk. The third option would be a standard sidewalk with
stamping which would be dyed concrete and would look like cobblestones or bricks. The fourth
option is full depth pavers similar to the ones on RR620. The Library project will have full depth
pavers. The cost to do the standard concrete is about $200,000. The concrete with stamping and
the dyed concrete is about $300,000 and needs to be done business by business by taking out a
section and be ready to replace it immediately. The full depth pavers are about$310,000 and that-
;. . 143
February 25, 1999
includes each of the ramps. Regardless of the procedure, the handicap ramps are about $500
each.
In response to Mayor Pro-tem Stluka's question, Mr. Nuse said the construction cost of
the full depth pavers is $248,000 and the rest of the funds are for contingency for unusual
• circumstances. The project will be from Mays Street to Sheppard Street on both sides. Mr. Nuse
explained that the threshold cost for a sidewalk project is $50,000. Also, public entities need to
submit sidewalk plans to the State for review and ADA compliance.
City-wide Sidewalks .;;.:as $200,000
Joe Vining noted the first priority is sidewalks to the Elementary Schools, Middle
Schools second and High School last. Mr. Vining outlined the map of the proposed single-side
sidewalks for existing streets. The areas that are proposed to be funded through the Contingency
Fund are portions of Eggers/Wayne which will help get the children to Robertson Elementary
and Hopewell Middle School, Ferndale/Greenlawn which will help get the children to Voigt
Elementary, St. William/Parkview/ Round Rock West which will help get the children to
• Deepwood Elementary and Chisholm Trail Middle School, and Yucca/Rawhide/Buckboard
which will help get the children to Bluebonnet Elementary. The estimate for construction is
$149,965 and a contingency allowance of$50,035.
Councilman Palmer asked if sidewalks were being proposed on South Mays. He added
that there is a lot of foot traffic that goes from Logan Street to Hester's Crossing. Mr. Vining said
staff is proposing to incorporate the sidewalks with the realignment of South Mays. The area
closer to Logan Street could be funded from another source like TxDOT.
Cemetery Headstones $47,000
Bob Bennett said this project is to fix the headstones in the cemeteries along Sam Bass
Road. A lot of vandalism has occurred in the cemeteries over the years. Only recently the City,
working with the private groups that own the cemeteries, funded the maintenance and operations.
•
This expenditure will help upgrade the cemeteries, which have a lot of history. Councilman
Palmer suggested this project.
Councilman Palmer noted that the cemeteries are owned by two associations and not by
the City and the funds they have are not to do the work that needs to be done.
Senior Center,Rabb House,Kinningham Equipment $10,000
d
144
February 25, 1999
Bob Bennett said this is to purchase additional tables and chairs or whatever the Council
desires for the Senior Center,Rabb House and Kinningham Park.
Sharon Prete added that there are times that individuals who rent the facilities also have
to go out and rent tables and chairs because of the shortage.
High Country Park,Tank Site $200,000 •
Jim Nuse said that in 1985 the City of Austin purchased 10 acres in High Country. Austin
is currently having the property appraised. The cost is strictly for the purchase of the property
and the cost is for approximately $20,000 an acre. The City of Round Rock received approval
for the construction of a tank at that location. The tank is a 1.25 million-gallon tank. The tank
would sit on 100 by 100 feet and the rest of the property can be used for parkland.
Volunteer Fire Department Pumper Restored $40,000
Bob Bennett said the Volunteer Fire Department has asked for funds to refurbish an 1889
hand pumper that is currently at the Central Fire Station. The pumper will be placed in a house
that will be built onto the Central Fire Station. Volunteer Fire Chief Girvan said the project
should cost between $20-30,000 but staff added $10,000 because they did not know what the •
refurbishing entailed.
Councilman Joseph asked if there was another location, like the Library, a school or the
City Hall courtyard, if it was encased in glass, that the pumper could be placed for more public
viewing. Mr. Bennett said staff has looked at the Library but have not determined where space is
available.
Councilwoman Chavez said this piece of equipment is a part of Round Rock's history
that can be enjoyed and viewed by the public. Councilwomen Chavez said she would like to see
the pumper truck restored and try to find a place for it. She added that if we can't take care of it
locally, a Houston museum is looking at the possibility of restoring it and housing it.
Mayor Pro-tem Stluka asked if the Volunteer Fire Department had plans to raise funds to •
support this restoration. Mr. Bennett said that the only effort that is being done is for the Brush
Truck that the City provided a zero interest loan.
Entry Signs, Street Planting,Hike/Bike Trails $100,000
Joe Vining said the signs will notify travelers they are entering Round Rock. The first
sign will be for US79 and the sign for RR620 will be decided later due to development that is
occurring to the west of the City. The cost is for construction, irrigation and land and need to be
145
February 25, 1999
fairly large to be read. The$100,000 will be for the design that can be used at other locations and
for the first sign. Mr. Vining added that Bob Belanger will design a sign for the Council's
approval and this is a soft estimate.
Channel 10 Upgrade $65,000
• Will Hampton said this upgrade consists of three components. They are the purchase of a
new character generator, which runs the announcements on Channel 10; VCR controller that will
allow staff to play back automatically Council meetings and presentations; improvements to the
Council Chambers by creating a permanent secure engineering station for the equipment, debug
the audio systems that is currently in place, have the cameras fixed so they don't have to be
constantly removed which cause wear and tear on the equipment and improving the lighting in
the Council Chamber.
The rest of the budget is as follows:
Contingency 0
Total Expenditures $1,112,000
Change In Operations (67,000)
Operating Reserves 0
• Estimated Unreserved
Fund Balance 9/30/99 $ (67,000)
The Council made the following comments on the priority of the items that were
presented by staff.
Councilman Hairston said, "As a whole all of them deserve funding. If it's not in the
Arts, they deal with Economic Development, tourism, the quality of life and recreation. On the
entry signs, the $100,000 was for the design, construction and maintenance, since we are going
to start on 79 on both sides and the design will be used on both sides of 620,what will the budget
look like or how can this be pared down if we were just merely looking at a design budget to
design the City's entry sign and not look at construction and maintenance because we have to
work with TxDOT to get their permission?This will free up some of the funds."
• Mr. Vining said the design can be done for $5,000.00. If it is the Council's desire, the
construction can be taken out and work only on the design of the entry signs because it will take
some time to design the signs and select a location.
Councilman Hairston added, "Working with TxDOT, it is going to take 4 to 5 months to
get the permission to do what we want to do on 79 and 620. We are almost half way through the
fiscal year. The pumper restoration'is something that can be done immediately. The cemetery
146
February 25, 1999
headstones,someone has to be contracted to do that. The sidewalks that are going on right now,
we can add on to that. The park took care of itself. Statuary is something that we have to start
planning on especially if we are going to go with the many segments. I would ask my colleagues
to look at the entry signs and maybe concentrate on the actual design of what we want, where it
can be used in multiple locations throughout the City and the main thoroughfare." •
Councilman Stewart said, "I can't support postponing the budgeting for the entry signs.
Just as I can't support lack of action on Channel 10 because in my mind they both run with
almost the same priority. We have been trying to get this accomplished. If we don't budget this
money now, that's fine that the design only costs $5,000.00 then there is $95,000 that we are
going to have to identify whenever we are able to do the construction and application of the
design. That is my only objection. Other than that I can't support the restoration of the Volunteer
Fire Department Pumper for $40,000. I just don't see public money being spent in this touchy
feely kind of thing. It looks like there should be an effort made by the Volunteer Fire Department
to acquire the funds to do this. If we can work out some type of matching type grant with them
that they come up with $20,000, we do $20,000 or we do away with the restoration and take the •
thing out and have it sandblasted and painted and cut the $40,000 to $5,000. I might support it
for that extent. The rest of them are absolute must have's."
Councilman Palmer said, "We do have quite a bit of soft money in the budget. I have
heard that we have $50,000 contingency here and $25,000 contingency there. I would like to see
some hard numbers." Bob Bennett answered , "These are hard numbers. The only contingency
that might have been in there was $60,000 for the downtown sidewalks. The only number that
might be soft is the entry sign." Councilman Palmer said, "I would like to think that we can look
at this and see how we can do the whole bit. I think there is a way of doing it and I would like to
see what we can do with it."
Councilwoman Chavez said, "I will echo his statement. I think all deserve funding as
•
Councilman Hairston stated. Surely there is some way that there can be some money found in a
cushion area that can be used to fund all of these."
Councilman Joseph said, "I strongly feel the same way as Councilwoman Chavez. I think
there is possibly a way that we can figure out how to fund these. The entry signs, the gateway to
Round Rock, we have been talking about for over 9 years. We started talking about the Channel
10 upgrade 5 or 6 years ago when it was going to cost $200,000 but now electronics are cheaper
147
February 25, 1999
so we have saved money by waiting and it will be modernized even better. The Chisholm Trail
Statuary, we dont have the hard number on that, there may be $10-20,000 into that. Hopefully,
we can work on all this. I would like to see us at least on the pumper truck, it is part of our
history part of our heritage. The thing is that it could take up to a year to restore that truck and it
• may be $25-30,000 to restore and then next year we can fund the case to put it in. But there is a
little bit on each project that we can shave off and still make the budget."
Mayor Pro-tem Stluka said, "I don't disagree that all of these are certainly worthy of
some funding. I think there is some prioritization:that we need to look at in terms of what is best
suited to serve the general needs of our community in terms of some very basic infrastructure
needs and better communication needs and some of these are possibly frills on a cake items. I
think there is a way we can address all of these where some funding may go to each one and my
suggestion would be, again we are not voting on this we are just trying to give the City Manager
some direction. I prioritized the list in terms of needs and quality of life issues and the sidewalks
are unquestionably the most important things on the list because if we are talking about restoring
• our downtown, making our downtown an area that we want to attract more people to, that's
making a major part of doing that restoration. In city-wide sidewalks, I think we have heard from
most of our neighborhood groups repeatedly about a need for more sidewalks and I thinks it's a
safety issue also, that needs to be addressed. So sidewalks are very important. In planning ahead
and looking forward, we have to have the foresight to have the property available for our next
water tank and I think the water tank site is very important as well. Channel 10 and maybe this is
more important than the water tank site, but I agree with you wholeheartedly, Councilman
Stewart,we do need to do something with what we have been talking about for the last five years
or so. We have an opportunity to do it. We need to do it now. So this is certainly something that
comes at the top of the list. I think that whatever we need to do for the Senior Center, Rabb
House and Kinningham Place in making each one of those facilities a more usable facility by
•
having better inventory of tables and chairs that certainly needs to be done. From the historical
value or aspect, the cemetery headstones are an important project and again this is something that
is very visible to our community and to visitors and needs to be taken care of. The entry signs are
also something that we have talked about a long time. Based on my numbers, if we funded the
sidewalks, the tank site, Channel 10, the Senior Center, Rabb House and Kinningham Place, the
entry signs and the cemetery headstones for the full amount that is before us, I come up with a
148
February 25, 1999
figure of$872,000. That leaves a balance of $173,000 that I think we can make some sort of
contribution to the restoration of the pumper for$25,000 leaving $148,000 to go to the Chisholm
Trail Statuary. This will allow everything gets some money and balances the budget. If there is
some cushion in any of the projects as we go forward with them that money can be directed over
to the statuary or the restoration of the pumper truck." i
Mr. Bennett said that he had enough information to bring this item back to the Council's
next meeting for approval.
Councilman Hairston said, "The entry signs are good. It's due. I didn't know it was nine
years due. I remember when Councilman Stewart spoke about it at the retreat. My only concern
with the entry signs is some of the projects are going to be further drawn out due to the nature of
working with the State and it is important. All of these are important but as each one of us has
been talking about some of the projects are ready to go now and some are coming on later and I
wouldn't call any of this cushion money or soft money but I would call it maybe a revolving
loan. Maybe projects that can be done right now, immediately; that is when we draw out and start
spending the money and putting back money as a surplus occurs as the next projects begin." •

CITIZENS COMMUNICATIONS:
Police Chief Paul Conner said members of the Round Rock Police Department want to
• make a special presentation. Staff members approached the podium and Captain Chris Bratton
was the spokesperson. Captain Bratton said, "Mayor and Council, we've had a great privilege in
the,last few weeks and a great sadness as well at the Police Department. We have been through a
transitional period and that was a difficult period,;.for us and would have been extremely difficult
were it not for the faith you put in the department and your willingness to loan us somebody
from the City staff to help us out. That person came into our lives and touched each and every
one of us in a very special way. She brought an extremely valuable leadership style and skill to
us. She was able to create a very unified and forceful statement that we could make to Chief
Conner to welcome him into our mist. So Joanne, as a way of saying thank you to you, on behalf
of the officers and staff at the Round Rock Police Department we would like to present you with
• this token of our appreciation for coming in and bringing to us a very calm and very dedicated
leadership style that allowed us to move forward with this transition in a very orderly and very,
very smooth way. We want to say thanks and you are always welcome through our doors."
Captain Simpson presented the shadowbox to Joanne which contains her Commissioner
shield and patches of the Police Department. In addition, Ms. Land was presented with a
necklace that has a miniature Round Rock Police Commissioner shield with her number on it.
Ms. Land thanked the officers for her gift and expressed her appreciation.
8.A. Round Rock Family YMCA and Williamson County Humane Society Pets-n-
Sweats 5K Fun Run March 27. 1999 at 8:00 a.m. in the.Forest Creek Subdivision. Lee Gerard
represented the Round Rock Family YMCA and Williamson County Humane Society. He
requested permission for approval of Saturday, March 27, 1999 at 8:00 a.m. for the race date and
•
time for their second annual Pets-n-Sweats 5K Fun Run. This will benefit the Humane Society
and YMCA. The route will be in the Forest Creek Subdivision. The Police Department and Fire
Department both approved the route.
The Council gave their verbal approval.
Rodney Howard, 1222 Leah Lane, expressed his support for item 10B1, curbside
recycling and he added he is willing to pay for it. Mr. Howard also expressed his support for item
150
February 25, 1999
13G4, the modification of the City's recommendation concerning the SH-130. He said it is more
consistent with the Master Transportation as it addressed the various aspects of the SH-130
alignment. Mr. Howard offered his time and services to the City to help carry this message to the
appropriate parties to help insure that Round Rock's transportation future is correctly forced by
the citizens and not by outside parties that may not have the citizens best interest in mind. In •
conclusion, Mr. Howard expressed his support of item 13D1, to amend Article 16 Section 40 of
the Texas Constitution,which exempts schoolteachers from accepting payment for serving on the
Council. He added that this undesirable situation could have been avoided and it is unfortunate
that Councilwoman Chavez had to learn this information on her own and bring it to the attention
of the City. It is embarrassing for her as well as to the City. The events leading up to this event
should be reviewed and mechanism put in place to prevent a similar occurrence in the future.
David Pruett, 1711 Amber Skyway Cove, thanked Mr. Howard and expressed his support
of the items that Mr. Howard brought up. Mr. Pruett spoke on the models that were done
concerning traffic figures for SH-130. He brought one of the models he created that showed
traffic flows. •
Posey McClung, 1603 Karen Cove, announced that the Senior Center would be having
their Annual Estate Sale that will benefit the Senior Center. She added that anyone wishing to

10.A.1. Consider a presentation regarding the proposed new utility billing_system. Staff
Resource Person: David Kautz,Finance Director. The City utility billing office has been working
on the development and implementation of a.new utility billing system for the City's 17,000
utility customers. This system is the third phase of a computer system upgrade for the financial
services area. The accounting system went live on October 1"and is still being brought up to full
speed. The live date for the Payroll and Human Resources applications is very near. The next
151
February 25, 1999
proposed application upgrade is the utility billing system which is scheduled for the next couple
of months. Mr. Kautz added that a new bill format was developed. Another proposed change in
relation to the new billing system is the outsourcing of the printing and mailing of the bills. Staff
will present to the Council, at their next meeting, a contract for the outsourcing of the bill,
• printing and mailing. This activity is labor intensive and requires specialized machinery and it
can be done more efficiently by a vendor who specializes in this type of work. Staff has budgeted
for the outsourcing of the bill as well as the proposed implementation upgrade.
Irma Mendoza, Utility Billing Office Manager, outlined the new bill format using a
sample bill that was provided to the Council. Customers are scheduled to receive the new bill on
March 17'. The billing cycles and due dates have not changed.
In response to Councilman Joseph's question, Ms. Mendoza said that the bill will only be
in one color and not the different colors that are currently being used.
In response to Councilman Hairston's question, Ms. Mendoza explained the purpose of
the Friendly Rock Voluntary Contribution Program.
• 10.B.1. Consider a presentation regarding a proposed voluntary subscription recycling
rp ooaram. Staff Resource Person: Jim Nuse, Public Works Director. Seven years ago the
Environmental Advisory Board made a recommendation that a Recycling Center be used for
recycling. At that time Round Rock Refuse looked into the idea of a subscription program and
until now it has not been feasible for them. Round Rock Refuse has now come up with a program
that they want to institute. The City will basically not be involved in this program. The billing
and collections will be handled entirely by Round Rock Refuse. The 30¢ for the recycling will
still be charged on the utility bill to continue operating the Deepwood Drive Recycling Center.
Ralph Rocco, General Manager of Round Rock Refuse, said they will be offering
optional curbside recycling beginning May 3, 1999. The monthly fee for this optional service
will be$3.70 plus tax and will be billed to each subscriber quarterly by Round Rock Refuse. The
•
monthly fee includes an eighteen (18) gallon recycling bin and weekly collection of newsprint,
magazines,plastic milk jugs, clear plastic, steel,tin and aluminum cans. Glass and cardboard will
not be collected due to the breakage and bulkiness of the items. Recyclables will be collected on
one of the two regular garbage collection days. Subscribers will be notified of their recycling day
when their recycling bin is delivered. To start the recycling service residents should contact
Round Rock Refuse. Mr. Rocco added that this is a two year pilot program and they currently do
152
February 25, 1999
not know the rate of participation but the City will be kept informed on that figure and will be
supplied with the tonnage reports from the recyclary to see how much is being collected.
Councilman Joseph complimented Mr. Rocco for the good service that Round Rock
Refuse provides.
Mayor Pro-tem Stluka said that Round Rock is one of the few cities that is getting twice a •
week pickup for the rates that are being charged and they don't hesitate to pick up anything and
everything that is put out. In surrounding communities that is not the case, they are limited to
what can be put out. He appreciates Round Rock Refuse volunteering to help in the recycling
effort with this program.
PUBLIC HEARINGS:
11 A 1 Consider public testimony concerning_adopting original zoning on 58.142 acres
of land and rezoning 54.65 acres out of the JM Harrell Survey. A-284 from C-1 (General
Commercial) to District Planned Unit Development No 38 (PUD 38). (La Frontera East)
Applicant: . Agent: W.S. Smalling. Staff.Resource Person: Amelia Sondergroth, Principal
Planner. This tract is located at the intersection of IH-35 and 1325. The land uses that are being •
proposed are a Shopping Center, Cinema, and General Commercial. PUD zoning provides the
opportunity for the City and the Developer to require increased development standards for street
design, landscaping, screening, siting of buildings, and signage. The standards set forth in PUD
No. 38 and PUD No. 39 are consistent for both PUD's thus ensuring an overall unified
development plan. The proposed PUD meets the goals and objectives of the City's PUD
ordinance. On February 17, 1999 the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended PUD No.
38 zoning on these tracts of land. Issues of concern that were brought up were of signage for the
property and outdoor sales and displays. These will be addressed in the PUD document along
with a lot of other elements that will make this a quality project.
Trey Salinas of 35/45 Investors introduced the development team who were present at the •
meeting.

network and examples of what they are trying to achieve for La Frontera.

Phil Cozart, 815 Chisholm Valley Drive,President of the Chisholm Valley Neighborhood
Association, said the developer contacted the neighborhood for their input on the development.
The neighborhood did not want Frontier Drive to be extended into the development, they asked
that the multi-family be moved further south to lessen the impact on the neighborhood, that
• Hester's Crossing be moved further south of the northern boundary of La Frontera. These
concerns were addressed. Mr. Cozart said that the Chisholm Valley Neighborhood Association
recommended the adoption of PUD No. 38 and PUD No. 39.
Beth Carlile, 2612 Sinclair, said her property and La Frontera's property have a common
property line. The developer addressed the concerns that she had which were moving Hester's
Crossing further south, the lighting, the fence, the high useage of some of the buildings. She
added that the developer has worked with the residents and she appreciated being involved in
decisions for the development.
John Moman, 1701 Johnson Way, expressed his support of the development. He said this
will be a quality development for Round Rock.
• 1 LA.2. Consider public testimony concerning adopting original zoning on 192.205
acres of land and rezoning 2.140 acres of land of out of the JM Harrell Survey, A-284 from C-1

Applicant: 35/45 Investors, L.P. Agent: W.S. Smalling. Staff Resource Person: Joe Vining,
Planning Director. This is proposed as a mixed use development allowing Commercial, Business
Park, Office, Hotel, and Multifamily development. PUD zoning provides the opportunity for the
City and the Developer to require increased development standards for street design,
landscaping, screening, siting of buildings, building materials and signage. The standards set
forth in PUD No. 38 and PUD No. 39 are consistent for both PUD's thus ensuring an overall
unified development plan. The PUD meets the goals and objectives of the City's PUD
ordinance. On February 17, 1999 the Planning and zoning Commission recommended PUD 39
•
zoning on these tracts of land.
Mayor Culpepper opened the public hearing.
Mr. Tanguma, 2704 Blessing, expressed his concern that surveyor stakes were on his
property and that the lake may cause an impact on the Blessing Mobile Home area.

B.A.I. Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a Master Agreement
Regarding the Convention Center Complex Development with Ryan Sanders Roman, Inc. Staff
Resource Person: Steve Sheets, City Attorney. This Master Agreement will govern the
relationship between the City of Round Rock and Ryan Sanders Ryan Inc. during the,
construction of the Convention Center Complex.
Mr. Sheets outlined the draft of the Master Agreement dated 2/25/99. This agreement sets
forth the joint cooperation that Round Rock and RSR agreed to engage in during the construction
project. This has the potential of being a complex relationship in that the City is the owner of the
project and RSR is the lessee and the operator of the Stadium and Convention Center once it is
completed. RSR has hired and paid for the architect so the architect works for RSR. The City of
Round Rock will contract with the construction firm. There will be four and perhaps five parties,
if a Construction Management firm is hired, that will be involved in this project. This Master
Agreements sets in writing what staff has been discussing the past year. The agreement is
condition upon a successful bond closing that staff expects to occur in mid-March as well as a
successful bid, contract.award and entering into a contract with a construction firm.
Article 7, Project Costs, is divided into three categories. Those are the Pre-Financial
Close Project Costs,Financing Related Project Costs and Post Financial Cost.
In Section 7.1 the City agreed to pay a cap of$300,000 towards the Pre-Financial Close
Project Cost. This is for the engineering, surveying, testing, legal fees, appraisal services, ERA
feasibility studies,preliminary architectural services and other services.
In Section 7.2 the City agreed to pay for the financing related project costs. These are
typical cost incurred when bonds are issued.
161
February 25, 1999
Mr. Sheets read the following two sentences contained in Section 7.3...." The City's sole
contribution to all Post Financial Close Project Costs is the sum of $7,350,000.00 (herein
referred to as the "City's Contribution.")"...."RSR agrees and understands that under no
circumstances whatsoever shall the City be expected or required to contribute any sum of money
in excess of said $7,350,000.00 for Post Financial Close Project Cost; it being the understanding
of the Parties that ALL liability for Post Financial Close Projects Costs in excess of the City's
Contribution, including but not limited to, cost overruns, Project Construction Change Orders,
unforeseen contingencies, additions, modifications, etc. shall be the sole responsibility of
RSR"...."
Mr. Sheets outlined the changes that were made to the agreement that was in the Council
packet. He noted that there are still some minor changes that need to be addressed. Mr. Sheets
recommended that the Council authorize the Mayor to execute the agreement with the
understanding that there may be a few minor changes and if there is anything major it will be
brought back to the Council.

13.C.1. Consider a resolution approving Preliminary Limited Offering Memorandum
• Relatingto o City of Round Rock Texas Hotel Occupancy Tax Revenue Bonds, Series 1999
(Convention Center Complex Projectl and authorizing distribution of Preliminary Limited
Offering Memorandum. Staff Resource Person: David Kautz, Finance Director. The City
connects the Preliminary Limited Offering document with the proposed offering of Hotel
Occupancy Tax Revenue Bonds. This document provides the investment community the chief
financial details regarding the transaction to help them assess the transaction and the underlining
security of the transaction. The document clearly states to the perspective investor that the
underlining security for the $8.6 million bond issue is the Hotel Occupancy Tax revenue and not
a pledge of the general taxing authority of the City of Round Rock.
Mr. Kautz added that attached to this report is the final report from Economics Research
Associates (ERA) that the City commissioned. The ERA report assessed the revenue producing
demand of the City's hotel industry and has indicated that the underlying revenue stream is
sufficient to cover the debt service on this offering.
Mr. Kautz noted that the $260,000 that has been set aside to fund ongoing events for
tourism within the community that amount of funds is not pledged to this transaction. The City
has retained the right to increase that amount by 3% annually. In preliminary discussions with
the Underwriters staff has agreed to consider not compounding or not increasing that 3% until
166
February 25, 1999
the year 2004. The City will still receive the funding but the 3% would be available if it was
needed as security for the bond issue up until that point.
Garry Kimball of First Southwest Company, the City's Financial Advisor, said this
document lays out the financial conditions of the project, the financing structure, the security for
the bondholders and it's meant to attract interested investors. With the Council's approval the •
document will be printed later in the evening and distributed it on Monday or Tuesday to get
some Underwriting interest developing and then price the bonds hopefully on March 10'' and
return to the Council on March 1 Vh for approval.

Doyle Hickerson. Staff Resource Person: Joe Vining, Planning Director. This tract of land is
located between Gattis School Road and County Road 170 and south of the South Creek
Subdivision.
On February 17, 1999,the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended adoption of
original PUD zoning on this tract of land. The first reading of the ordinance was approved on •
March 11, 1999. The key issue from residents adjacent to the tract was the setback provision.
Mr. Vining outlined a solution that may satisfy all the parties. The first 50 feet from the west
property line is a landscape buffer which only landscaping can occur and the next 63 feet is a
parking bay,which is a standard width. So the first 113 feet no construction of structures can
occur. After the next 37 feet there can be a one-story structure then adding a total of 150 feet

three highest areas of inflow/infiltration as identified under the Phase I study. Those area basins
are CC35 (Chandler Creek 35), BC21 (Brushy Creek 21) and OC24 (Onion Creek 24). The
objective of this phase will be to investi ate thereasons this inflow is entering these specificecifc
collection areas and determined an appropriate correction effort. The project will develop
rehabilitation and improvement costs for various possible improvements including, in-general, •
main replacement, point repair, internal lining, pipe-bursting and manhole rehabilitation. The
first SSES phase was completed in late 1998 and from this extensive flow monitoring, field
inspection and wastewater line mapping effort the overall extent of inflow/infiltration in the
City's wastewater collection system was determined. Through modeling and field observations
the entire collection system experienced surcharges during peak inflow conditions but was within
acceptable design parameters for safe collection of wastewater. The implementation of this
project will assist the City in eliminating the high inflow and infiltration occurring in these
basins through the development applicable engineering designs and appropriate repair methods.

Councilman Palmer said 22 years ago when he first came to Round Rock he became
aquaintted with the logo of Farmers Sate Bank which was a cattle drive going past the "round
rock". About 5 years ago the idea of placing a bronze cattle drive by the"rock"was created.
In conjunction with Councilman Palmer's statement, John Moman of the Chamber of
Commerce and Tim Bargainer of Hall/Bargainer Landscape Architects made a presentation on
the proposed Chisholm Trail Project. Mr. Bargainer outlined the preliminary schematic
conceptual plan.
Mayor Culpepper said that the City approached the Highway Commission for a grade •
separation between the Georgetown Railroad and RM620. When funds become available a
temporary track would have to be built while all the grade separation was being constructed.
Mayor Culpepper asked if the plan was allowing for that grade separation so nothing would be
torn down. He added that the fence would need to be back far enough for a temporary railroad
track.

10 E 1 Consider a resolution expressing the City Council's opposition to HB1099 •
regarding collective bargaining agreements. Staff Resource Person: Bob Bennett, City Manager.
Representative Krusee asked that a resolution be drafted in opposition of HB 1099. HB 1099
allows a political subdivision to negotiate with and enter into collective bargaining contracts with
a labor organization. HB 1099 also allows a political subdivision to recognize a labor
organization as the bargaining agent for a group of public employees. The Council felt that such
267
April 22, 1999
things should not be in the purview of a public employee to be able to collectively bargain with
the government. This bill does not impact police or firefighters, does not supercede anything that
currently exists in the City and it also doesn't take away any rights they already have under
existing State law.
• Mayor Culpepper read the following resolution.
RESOLUTION NO.
WHEREAS, House Bill 1099 would allow a labor organization to negotiate with and
enter into collective bargaining contracts with a municipality, and

1099 would be in the best interests of the City,Now Therefore

on the Market-Based Compensation Study. Staff Resource Person: Teresa Bledsoe,Human
Resources Director.
Ms. Bledsoe said that Watson Wyatt completed the updated market based compensation
study,which is consistent with the study that was conducted in 1997. Since then the population
has grown 11%placing an increased demand for City services and staff. The lowest
unemployment rate in 20 years is being experienced in the City and nationwide causing the pool •
of available workers to shrink and adding substantial pressure on wages for"entry level"jobs.
The jobless rates are also decreasing:
• Round Rock: 1.8% in March 1998 to 1.5% in March 1999
• Austin area: 3.4%to 2.6%
• San Antonio: 3.6%to 2.8%
• Dallas: 3.1%to 2.8%
• Houston: 4.0%to 3.9%
Employment opportunities in Round Rock are increasing in the service industry with the
additions of hotels/motels, eating establishments and retail stores. Dell is also continuing to grow
as well at the other industries. These are all affecting and impacting the City's ability to recruit •
qualified and competent employees. The City is feeling market pressures for many positions and
has difficulty filling open positions, particularly entry-level positions and those with direct
citizen contact and retention is also of great concern.
Watson Wyatt was asked to:
• conduct the City's scheduled market update
275
131 I q q q
• ensure the update reflected the state of the City today
• ensure accurate job matches to essential job functions
• Interpret the results of the analysis and to bring the following recommendations.
Sarah Hutchinson outlined the following:
• 1997 Major Project Steps
• Compensation philosophy development
• Market pricing process
• Internal job evaluation process
• Salary structure development
• Overlay of employee salaries on recommended salary structure

- Based on new market
• Role of management
• Reinforcement of performance orientation
1999 Market Update
• Watson Wyatt suggested an update on biannual basis
• 1999 update was scheduled early due to perceived market pressures
• Initially only an update of market data
• • Interim findings reveal that more in-depth analysis was needed
Analysis Steps
• Update market data in database
• Compare new data to existing salary structure
Does the structure need to be adjusted upward and, if so,how much?
276
May 13, 1999
- Do any specific jobs need to be moved up or down in the structure to reflect changes in
the market?
• Determine the impact on employee salaries
1999 Analysis
• Pulled"same data"from"same surveys"in general •
- Looked at a few new salary surveys
- Matched new jobs to salary surveys
- Ensured 1997 matches were still appropriate and made changes where needed
Structure Analysis
• Compared updated market data to existing salary structure at Round Rock
- Structure implemented October 1997
- Only minor changes to structure since implementation
• Determined that structure should be adjusted upward approximately 3 - 5% after review of
individual jobs
Review of Jobs
• Reviewed each job at Round Rock •
• 61 jobs needed to be re-slotted to a higher grade
- Considered market data
- Considered relative internal values of jobs
• Most impacted jobs in lower grades with multiple job incumbents
Some Re-Slotted Jobs
• Water plant operators and several waterline maintenance jobs
• Utility billing customer service jobs
• Municipal court clerks
• Library technicians and aids
• PARD and Public Works entry-level jobs •
• Public safety communications
• Police department sworn officers
All sworn fire positions below the Chief and the Fire Marshal
Recommendations for 1999/2000
• Adjust existing salary structure 4%
a. 277
I-nc4 lqqq .
l
• Ensure all employees are paid at least at the minimums of the pay ranges in the new structure
• Provide market adjustments for individuals in jobs which were re-slotted
• Consider market adjustments for remaining employees to ensure desired competitive position
New Salary Structure
• • Excellent alignment with market
- On average, structure is"right on"the market
• Will ensure the City is able to hire at competitive rates
• Will require changing new hire rates for entry Police and Fire jobs
• Will require market adjustments to individual employee salaries
In conclusion,Ms. Bledsoe outlined the following:
Market Adjustment Impact
• $1.250 million in salary adjustments
- All employees will receive at least 3%
- Adjustments range from 3% - 19.5%
• Recommended new salaries
• - Reviewed and discussed with Department Directors
- Ongoing review and discussions with Human Resources and City Administration
• New hiring rates for Police and Fire
Timing and Proposed Implementation

• need to be improved.
l O.E.1. Consider a presentation concerning capital improvements relatingto o the
proposed adoption of impact fees. Staff Resource Person: Joe Vining,Planning Director.
Every three years as required by law if the City wishes to continue charging Capital
Recovery Fees an evaluation needs to be conducted. The preliminary impact fee study indicates
that the capital improvements or facility expansions needed to serve new development in Round
Rock over the next 10 years will cost$40,558,000. Of this amount,water related improvements
will cost$26,176,000 and wastewater related improvements will cost$14,382,000.
The Impact Fee Study also estimates that 7,517 new connections (LUE)will be made to
the water system during this 10 year period and 6,055 wastewater connections will be made.
• Therefore, the cost of expanding the water and wastewater system could be allocated to each
living unit equivalent as follows:
Calculated Water Impact Fee $3,482 per LUE
Calculated Wastewater Impact Fee $2,375 per LUE
The proposed Impact Fee for water and wastewater is less than the above the amounts as
follows:
280
May 13, 1999
Proposed Water Impact Fee $2,345 per LUE
Proposed Wastewater Impact Fee $1,500 per LUE
The impact fee is charged to all new connections to the system including residential and
commercial connections. The impact fee is an important tool in helping growth to pay for itself
because if new development does not pay costs of additional capital improvements or facility •
expansions the costs must be recovered in the utility rates charged to all customers.
Round Rock has one of the lowest utility rates in the region and has not raised its rates
since 1991 as a result of growth paying for a substantial amount of its own cost. The prudent
relationship between impact fees and the utility fees has enabled the City to keep utility rates low
but without being overly exposed to sudden, large rate increases if the growth slows.
David Kautz outlined the financial perspective of the impact fees.
Mayor Culpepper said, "I have been fortunate to serve with you as you operate our
Finance Department. If this was an easy job we would have a bunch of people doing it. Nobody
wants to raise rates. Nobody wants to raise Capital Recovery Fees. It's something that is part of
this job. It's a decision that this Council has to make and will have to make for future years. The
benefits we have seen is a very dependable utility in both in the water and wastewater side, a •
competitive utility and a utility that has gotten bond rating increases every year for I don't know
how many years from Wall Street which has lowered the cost of borrowing money. This Council
can sit up here and talk about pennies,this and that,rate increases and all that but the bottom line
is everything goes up. That is a part of inflation. We have held rates at a steady rate longer than
anybody else in Central Texas and we have experienced some explosive growth. So Council, as a
private citizen in another two weeks, I am asking you not to vote emotionally. Be practicable and
do what is best for the City of Round Rock and the big picture."
PUBLIC HEARINGS:
l l.A.1. Consider public testimony concerning adoption of the Round Rock General Plan
2000. Staff Resource Person: Joe Vining, Planning Director.
This is the first of two scheduled public hearings. The second hearing will be held on

Mayor Culpepper opened the public hearing.
Jane Kirschman, 500 Peterson Street, said she is privileged for being a part of the General
Plan process. The Plan is a well written and carefully thought out document that reflects the
concerns and desires expressed by the people in the workshops. She thanked the Council and
• staff for including the citizens is this project.
Mike Sheppard, 2137 Green Oaks Circle, congratulated the Planning Department for
putting out a wonderful document. He noted that there is one drawback to it. That is the 80/20
rule that was taken out for the multi-family versus single family ratio. A proactive stand needs to
be taken and determine what we are comfortable with as far as multi-family versus single family
and should not let the market be the driving force.
Dorothy Pistole, 2001 Stirrup Drive, expressed her concern that the Plan did not prioritize
funds for sidewalks and that they were not addressed in the Plan but hike and bike trails were
addressed. She added that sidewalks are needed to the local parks and schools.
Mayor Pro-tem Stluka explained that the funds are prioritized during the budget process
and are not a part of the General Plan.
• There being no further public testimony, the public hearing was closed.
