13.17.1. Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a contract with HDR
Engineering, Inc., for Lake Creek Pump Station Improvements. Staff Resource Person: Jim
Nuse,Public Works Director.
Mayor Stluka disclosed that he has a working relationship with HDR Engineering,
however, it does not apply to any business that HDR does with the City of Round Rock.
The improvements described in this contract are for the upgrade of pumps and electrical
equipment at the City's main well site in-order for water to be delivered to a proposed 1 •
y pop d e evated
water tank, PP924, at the existing South 81 tank site. This proposed project evolved from the
1998/1999 Water System Improvement Contract awarded to HDR Engineering in July of 1998.
The original design report recommended a new pump station and tank site to be developed for
PP890. However, the siting of a new tank and pump station required a land acquisition effort
and this process was not proceeding well. The original design report sited the tank near the
1. 9
OCTOBER 14, 1999
southern area of Round Rock around Hester's Crossing. Because of planned road improvements,
availability of real estate and the need for improvements at the main well site this new contract is
the best solution in-lieu of the original design scheme. Additionally, the main well site will
receive much needed changes under this contract. The proposed engineering contract fee is
$167,280.00,which includes $16,000.00 for survey and geotechnical services. There is no fee
i
increase on changes to the existing engineering contract.

PRESENTATIONS:
7.A.1. Consider a presentation concerning a franchise agreement request by TXU
Communications. Staff Resource Person: Steve Sheets, City Attorney.
This agreement was to be brought forward last spring but at that time the State
Legislature was in session and they were considering various items that would impact
telecommunications services and franchise fees for the State of Texas. So, the implementation of.
3 .0
OCTOBER 28, 1999
this franchise was delayed until after that legislation was completed. TXU Communication is
proposing to provide telephone service to the La Frontera development. A temporary franchise
agreement needs to be in place to allow TXU to lay their lines and infrastructure. This agreement
will grant a temporary franchise to TXU pending the final implementation of House Bill 1777 by
the Public Utility Commission(PUC). The implementation of that bill will explain how to handle
these types of franchises. There are some deadlines that the PUC needs to meet in terms of what
they are doing and hopefully by March 2000 this will be fully implemented. Mr. Sheets
concluded that the ordinance for a temporary franchise would be brought back in November for
the Council's consideration.
7.B.1. Consider a presentation concerning amending the 1994 Building Code to reflect
changes in the 1997 Building Code. Staff Resource Person: Jim Nuse, Public Works Director.
Mark Remmert, Chief Building Official, noted that representatives of La Frontera
Marriott Hotel have asked the City to amend Section 1005.4.1 of the 1994 Standard Building
Code to reflect the changes in the same section of the 1997 Standard Building Code. This section
in the 1994 Code states that every sleeping room on the first and second story of the residential
occupancy,which a hotel is considered a residential occupancy, shall have at least one operable •
window or exterior door approved for emergency egress and rescue. The 1997 Code is basically
the same with the exception that if a building is fully sprinkled throughout then the operable
windows will not be required. Marriott also intends to install two additional evacuation safe
guards that are not required by either Code. The safe guard systems are pressurizing the stair
shafts, which would keep the smoke from entering the stairwells as it is used as an egress in case
of an emergency. Also they propose to install a smoke evacuation system that will pull the smoke
to the outside from the corridors. Both systems would be directly tied to the main power source
and have the secondary source of a backup generator. With the use of the two additional
evacuation safe guards staff can recommend approval of the request. Mr. Remmert explained
that the reason he still uses the 1994 Code is that legal issues have been brought up concerning •
the 1997 Standard Building Code in regard to the International Plumbing Code so until those
issues are resolved staff will continue use the 1994 Standard Building Code. This amendment if .
approved by the Council will be included in the 1994 Building Code so it can be utilized by
similar facilities.

OCTOBER 28, 1999
7 C 1 Consider a presentation concerning the proposed Regional Hike and Bike Trail
System. Staff Resource Person: Sharon Prete,Parks and Recreation Director.
Ms. Prete reported that an Alliance was formed at a meeting between representatives of
the Cities of Round Rock, Austin, Cedar Park, and Williamson County and the development
communities for a Regional Trail System. The Trail System is proposed along Brushy Creek and
will extend from Cedar Park to Round Rock. During that meeting discussions were on site
identification as to which area belongs to which entity, involving the Municipal Utility District's,
the types of users and types of trails. Ms. Prete added that the Texas Parks and Wildlife is
offering an opportunity for a$lmillion regional planning grant for which this project would
qualify. Williamson County has volunteered to take the lead and hire a coordinator to help the
Alliance through this project. They are asking that all the governmental entities approve a
resolution of support for this project. If the Council concurs with this project then staff will
bring back a resolution of support for the Regional Hike and Bike Trail System. The Council

10.C.1. Consider a resolution expressing official intent to reimburse costs of acquiring
certain vehicles and equipment. Staff Resource Person: David Kautz,Finance Director.
In accordance with the operating budget, certain equipment is acquired with cash and
subsequently financed for three years through a tax-exempt leasing arrangement. Because of the
tax-exempt nature of the financing,Internal Revenue Service regulations require the city to state •
its intentions before the transactions are completed. This type of financing allows the Cityto
replace equipment and rolling stock on a timely basis as replacement criteria are met. The cost
of the equipment is spread over a period of 3 years, thus minimizing the impact on any one
operating budget. Additionally, the tax-exempt lease rates offer a very favorable cost of capital
to the City. For the current fiscal year, the equipment to be financed is scheduled at$525,000.

NOVEMBER 9, 1999
for the project; and develop an implementation plan for the City's Year 2007 Roadway Plan with
emphasis on the earliest construction of SH 45. This agreement will allow the consultant to begin
gathering and reviewing relevant reports and information; conducting interviews with
appropriate officials and citizens; and refining the scope of work and a final budget for the
project. The cost of Phase I is $30,000.
Mayor Stluka emphasized that this agreement is very important for the City's overall
Transportation Plan and projects. He added that there was a lot of discussion at the CAMPO
meeting the previous night regarding SH 130 and SH 45 and the reason for the discussion was
that the Texas Turnpike Authority was proposing that CAMPO place these projects on their
Transportation Improvement Program as toll roads. Mayor Stluka added that an issue was
brought up at that meeting that CAMPO should have a significant role in the decision making
process as to where the alignment for SH 130 should go. He added that at CAMPO's meeting in
December they will address an agenda item that will detennine what CAMPO's role might be in
determining the alignment of SH 130 and making a recommendation to TTA and TxDOT.

i
Travis County that have not been addressed at all including right-of- way issues which means

rail, which will begin at Howard Lane and continue south. He noted that he abstained on that
vote because Round Rock was not included in the route. He added that it is CAMPO's

light rail does not appear to be a regional effort. Mayor Stluka also added that Capital Metro
removed the HOV lanes out of their proposal until 2025 as far as funding is concerned. He noted
that his concern is that if the HOV lanes are not addressed now that funding can be lost. Also

vote. Mayor Stluka concluded by welcoming back Bob Bennett and Joanne Land.

PUBLIC HEARINGS:
3.A.1. Consider public testimony to annex 317.57 acres of land, more or less, out of the
P.A. Holder Survey, A-297, Joseph Marshall Survey, A-409, and Sam L. Jenkins Survey, A-347
(Rusk Tract). Staff Resource Person: Joe Vining, Planning Director.
This is the first of two required public hearings for the annexation of approximately 317
acres located on the north side of Gattis School Road. The second public hearing will be held on
November 23, 1999. Mr. Vining noted that the utility issues this tract faced have been worked
• out and is serviceable by the City. A petition for voluntary annexation has been submitted by the
owners of the property. Applicant: Jeff and Susan Rusk. Agent: JadCo Development, Inc.
Randall Jones, Engineer for the development said that the developer has had several
meetings with the neighborhood and there were times when he thought issues of concern were
resolved but as�t�e�r���`��ibgrs sill
play they have not. The developer has also had many
meetings with the School District regarding the 40 acres school site in this tract which was
conveyed to the School District by the Rusk's many years ago. The school is on a very fast track
from a stand point of utilities scheduling. The developer has made every effort to work with the
School District in the planning of the utilities and to bring utilities to the school site. The utilities
for the school site will go through the JadCo Development which takes a lot of coordination
• between the School District and developer and is currently on the same schedule.
Mayor Stluka opened the public hearing.
The following residents spoke against the annexation until their following concerns and
requests have been met.
Diane Blanchard, 3240 Crossley Crossing

NOVEMBER 16, 1999
Mickie Rowland, 1154 Rusk Road
Linda Neely, 1350 Rusk Road or Johnson Lane
Tom Zackary, 1286 Rusk Lane
Stuart McCurdy, 3509 Gattis School Road •
Concerns and requests that the residents expressed were:
• The neighbors met with the developer at the request of the Planning and Zoning
Commission but they have not come to an agreement with the developer.
• They don't want two story homes but rather one-story homes only on the lots abutting
Rusk Road.
• The proposed 50 foot lots that are proposed to abut Rusk Road are not compatible to
the 3 to 40 acre properties in the area. The want the lots to be compatible with the
existing tracts west of Rusk Road preferable between 80 to 60 foot lots.
• They want access to Forest Creek Road off Rusk Road and to extend Forest Creek
Road only to the north entrance of their subdivision until either Arterial "A" or
Doublecreek Drive is available as an alternate route for local traffic. •
• A traffic impact study be conducted for the proposed developments in order to better
address traffic problems in the area.
• If their water wells go dry they want the ability to access city water quickly. This can
be resolved by laying 2 to 3 stubs on the west side of Rusk Road running north and
,south which could be accessible for water if necessary.
• To address and keep on file applications,permits, information on financial
requirements now or before the annexation of the adjacent tract for future use to
avoid a lengthy and inconvenient delay in getting water to their homes.
• The installation of a concrete fence along Rusk Road because wood is not a sturdy
fence and if the Homeowners Association does not maintain the fence they have no •
control on having it repaired.
• Landscaping consisting of native Texas trees and shrubs to provide an additional
buffer between the development and the existing residents.
81
NOVEMBER 16, 1999
• That the developer show consideration or offer alternative considerations to the
residents like the developers of the Berkman tract and Bradford Park did for those
residents who abut those developments.
• • That a two story school would look out of place and not blend in with the residential
homes due to the school property being on top of a hill.
• That the City take into consideration density population and the size of lots.
In response to Councilman Hairston's question, Ms. Rowland said the residents are not
asking that they be annexed.
Councilman Stewart asked that Mr. Nuse to provide at the next public hearing the cost
figures for the sizing of the line, the impact fees and whatever is necessary for the homeowners
participation in City utilities.
In response to questions from the residents, Steve Sheets said that the Council adopted an
ordinance that states it is the policy of the City not provide water and wastewater service outside
the city limits unless it is on an temporary emergency basis.
• There being no further public testimony, the public hearing was closed.

resolution.
"To The Round Rock City Council
Whereas: The City of Round Rock in the late 1979 and earlier 1980s accepted money
from developers in lieu of parkland in neighborhoods, and
Whereas: The area along Bowman Road between North Mays and Sunrise was developed
without any significant parkland where children could play, and
• Whereas: The area has a significant number of low-income families, and
Whereas: The development along Bowman is very dense:
Greenhill area—283 homes and 108 duplexes
Chappel Hill area—215 homes and 58 duplexes
Settlement area- 188 homes and 50 duplexes
Foxfire, Bowman Walk and New Complex—407 apartments
Mesa Village and Egger Acres north half—400 homes
This is a total of 2,115 residences without suitable park/play area, and
Whereas: The property at Mesa Park Drive and Bowman Road represents the last
undeveloped land in the area suitable for park plan.
Now, therefore,be it resolved that the Mesa Village Neighborhood Association requests
i
that the City of Round Rock purchase the property for eventual development as parkland. Each
year, the City receives funds for such purchases to improve the areas around low-income sections
of Round Rock."
Mr. Gordon asked the Council to consider the resolution. He added that the information
will be provided to the Parks and Recreation Department Director.
PROCLAMATIONS:

NOVEMBER 23, 1999
9.A. Consider a proclamation observing World AIDS Day on December 1 1999.
Mayor Stluka read the appropriate proclamation. The proclamation will be forwarded to

PRESENTATIONS: None
PUBLIC HEARINGS: •
l l.A.1. Consider public testimony to annex 317.57 acres of land, more or less, out of the
P.A. Holder Survey, A-297, Joseph Marshall Survey, A-409, and Sam L. Jenkins Survey, A-347
(Rusk Tract). Staff Resource Person: Joe Vining, Planning Director. This 317-acre tract is
located north of Gattis School Road and north and east of the Rolling Ridge development is
proposed for single family development. The south end of the tract has been conveyed to the
Round Rock Independent School District for a middle school. The owner of the property,
Applicant: Jeff and Susan Rusk. Agent: JadCo Development, Inc., has submitted a petition for
voluntary annexation. This is the second of two required public hearings. The first public hearing
was held on Tuesday,November 16, 1999. At that meeting four major issues and questions that
were raised:
1. Utility service for the residents of area outside the city limits and to the west of •
the tract. Their concerns were on future services to their individual lots and future
development adjacent to their properties. Staff requested the developer to bring
the water service to the west side of Rusk Lane so the utility lines can be stubbed
out so those residents can tie onto the City's system at sometime in the firture.
2. Schedule for the improvement of Rusk Lane. Staff has developed, in the platting
process, some"triggers" so that Rusk Lane can be improved from Gattis School
Road up to the school site and then phase the timing of the road.
3. Fencing standards that the developer that will have to comply with. The City's
ordinance classifies Rusk as a collector street that will be required to provide
fencing standards as in the ordinance. As for the appearance of the fence, the
developer has not committed to a fence standard just yet but the minimum
standard, by ordinance, that he would have to put in has stone or brick columns at
the spacing required for the soil conditions and he could put wood fencing
between those columns. This is the minimum standard required by ordinance for
all standard collectors of that nature.
4. Lot sizes along Rusk adjacent to current residential properties. The developer has •
shown on his plat 50 foot lots and the residents are requesting larger lots. At this
time there is no resolution for that nor for the one story instead of two story
houses but staff is still in conversation with the developer on that.
Mayor Stluka read the following schedule for the institution of the annexation for this
tract.
December 16"'—first reading of the ordinance for the adoption of annexation
January 13" —second reading of the ordinance for the adoption of the annexation
87
NOVEMBER 23, 1999
January 13' —first reading of the ordinance for the adoption of the zoning, the second
reading of the ordinance can be dispensed at this meeting.
Mayor Stluka opened the public hearing.
Mickey Rowland, 1154 Rusk Road, asked if the tie-in for utility service is on an
• emergency basis or for annexation. Jim Nuse said the City has an ordinance that prohibits out-of-
city service without being tied into the sanitary sewer system. Steve Sheets added that there is no
provision for emergency temporary water if the resident is on a septic tank. He added that the
Council has the option to allow the residents to tie-in on a strictly temporary emergency basis.
Councilman Hairston asked if the households suddenly ran out of water can the City
provide them water on an emergency basis. Steve Sheets said not under the existing ordinance,
which can be changed. Ms. Rowland asked if the Council for help in encouraging the developer
to comply with no two story homes north of their neighborhood.
In response to Ms. Neely's question during a recent phone conversation regarding the
amount of water the City is pumping out of wells,Mayor Stluka said that the water the City is
pumping out of the City wells has no impact on Ms. Neely's water well level.
• Linda Neeley, read the following statement. "I live at 1350 Rusk Road, which is located
across the street from the Rusk Tract. Thank you for the opportunity to submit to you, our
neighbors, and the public our requests and concerns regarding the proposed annexation of the
Rusk Tract and its proposed impact/development on our community. I realize that some of my
questions are about annexation and other questions belong in the realm of land use. However,
there is no clean and quick method to separate the issues surrounding the protection of my home
and my community. These are my feelings and I also think they represent the feelings of my
neighbors. First of all, I would like to congratulate a couple of the Planning and Zoning members
who took our requests and concerns seriously at last weeks public hearing. Our questions and
concerns are:
• 1. We would like compatibility with our existing residences fronting Rusk Road which
consists of 1-story, all masonry, side entry garages, on large acreage lots ranging
from 3-30 acres. We are asking for lots with an 80-foot frontage.
2. What level of improvements are planned for Rusk Road? Will Rusk Road have
curbs and gutters, will it be two lane with a turn lane, three lane, or four lane?Has
the Round Rock Transportation staff considered the growth east and west of the
subject tract and the impact on Rusk Road when Forest Creek is extended?If Rusk
Road should need to be wider than 60' to handle the future growth of this area, then
now is the time to ask the developer to step forward and reserve the extra land for
future expansion and not leave it to the taxpayer to relocate established homes for
expansion/widening of Rusk Road at a later date.
8 � • .
NOVEMBER 23, 1999
3. Will there be a woodcrete fence along Rusk Road provided by the developer? We
feel this would be necessary to maintain the integrity of the neighborhood for years
to come.
4. Will there be trees and other landscaping along Rusk Road to provide privacy for
homeowners and for enhancement of the community?
5. We ask that the live Oak trees and pond east of Rusk Road where the old house is
situated be preserved and perhaps worked into the developers Park Plan.
6. When will the subdivision ordinances be revised to require developers to contribute
something to the community?Every subdivision should have dedicated parkland or
a hike and bike trail. There should be land dedicated for a future school site where
needed or monetary contribution to the school system and for building new/
improving roads so itis not all left to an increase in taxes for homeowners.
Finally we believe this development is looking incompatible with the property uses which
surround it. I say now is the time to implement these changes before another annexation is
approved. If any of these issues have been resolved,please brief us on their resolution and for
those that have not been resolved,please brief us on this current status. Thank you."
Stuart B. McCurdy, 3509 Gattis School Road, lives south of the tract expressed his
concern on the size of the proposed lots. He asked that lots be compatible with the lots
surrounding this tract. Mr. McCurdy expressed his concern that there are no required public
hearings through the whole process of a development of the property. Mr. McCurdy asked that a
handout be created to explain the process that can be made available to the public.
Tom Zachary, 1286 Rusk Lane, expressed his concern that Round Rock will turn out like
Austin with all the development that is occurring in the City. He said, "we need to retain good
neighborhoods, retain something that would indicate that there is progress here, that there is
some stability, that we are not transitional neighborhoods."Mr. Zachary asked the Council to
hold the developers responsible with some sort of standard. He added, "Now is the time to make'
wise decisions and hold somebody.accountable to what our neighborhoods will look like 25
years from now and 50 years from now."
Mickey Rowland inquired on the conditions or deed restrictions between the Rusk family
and the School District regarding the stadium.
There being no further testimony, the public hearing was closed.

WORK SESSION:
3.A.1. Consider a presentation by Round Rock Refuse concerning recycling, Staff
Resource Person: Jim Nuse,Public Works Director.
Ralph Rocco of Round Rock Refuse gave an update on the Volunteer Recycling Program.
The program began in May 1999 and 1,500 customers signed up to participate. The customers
are not from a specific section of town but rather all over the City. A mailer will be distributed
around Earth Day for those citizens that don't know about the program. Mr. Rocco added that
even though the Recycling Center is still being utilized when the curbside program was
implemented the volume at the Recycling Center decreased. In response to questions from the
Council,Mr. Rocco said that newsprint is bringing in$5.00 per ton,which means they are
breaking even on newsprint. Mr. Rocco concluded that an increase in the recycling services is not
anticipated in the future.
3.B.1. Consider a presentation concerning www.round-rock.com. Staff Resource
Person: Bob Bennett, City Manager.
Don Martin of Don Martin Public Affairs presented the Council with a unique marketing
idea for the City,which would be:
• entirely funded by private entities
• would bring a tremendous marketing opportunity for Round Rock
• add a strong visual identity for the local community
• present an outstanding public relations and media opportunity, and
• which will help positively and pro-actively identify Round rock as a major player
in the Central Texas high-tech market place.
The concept of the idea is as follows:
99
December 9, 1999
• La Frontera and/or the City would fund the cost to paint the Round Rock name on
the new water tower adjacent to La Frontera and Hester's Crossing. However,
instead of a traditional way of showing the City name, the Round Rock name
would be shown instead as the URL address "www.round-rock.com" in simple
black lower-case letters.
• To compliment that a very simple and permanent web site address will be
established at the URL location (www.round-rock.com) that would simply
provide a link to several City and other web pages. The URL link will be
technically owned by the Round Rock Chamber of Commerce as opposed to a
private business, and it would initially provide links to the following already-
established web addresses:
• The City of Round Rock
• The Round Rock Chamber of Commerce
• Round Rock Independent School District
• TXU's proprietary www.lock-on.roundrock page (this is a community
web portal being established by TXU in Round Rock)
• La Frontera
• Dell Computer
• Other major businesses
Essentially the web page is just a simple linking mechanism which would first and
foremost link to the City's own web page as well as provide links to other community assets.
In addition to the logo proposal, they would like to mount a 24-hour, seven days a week
live web camera to the top of the water tower with this live image feed being made available to
the web sites of the City,the Chamber,La Frontera, and local company who wants it.
Councilman Hairston suggested that small businesses be included in the links.
• The Council gave a verbal consensus to Mr. Martin to proceed on the marketing idea.
3.C.1. Consider a presentation concerning the City's Year 2000 computer systems and
emergencyoperations. Staff Resource Person: Brian Finger, Information Systems Technology
Manager.
The various City departments outlined their preparedness for Y2K.
100

• In the event of telecommunications failure, citizens who need emergency assistance can go to
one of 17 "contact points"around town. The contact points will be located at the five (5)Fire
Stations (which includes the not-yet-operational Station No. 5 on Deepwood Drive),the
Police Department,the ten(10)Round Rock ISD elementary schools within the city limits,
and Trinity Lutheran Home. Ham radio operators and Round Rock Police Officers will staff
the contact points. The ham radio operators will have contact with the EOC. The contact
points will not serve as emergency shelters.
• The Fire Department will have regular crews at its four(4) operational stations, as well as an
additional engine company(3 personnel) at each station. One engine company will be located
at Station No. 5 on Deepwood Drive, even though that station won't officially be operational.
Additional command staff has been scheduled to coordinate any potential large number of •
emergency calls. The Round Rock Volunteer Fire Department will also staff some of its
apparatus.
• The Police Department will have officers at each contact point, excluding those at the Fire
Stations. All ninety-one (9 1)Police officers will work December 315`and January 15`,with
majority of those working prime time, after 7:00 p.m. December 31st. Officers will•be
stationed at major intersections around midnight to manually control traffic if needed.
Additional staff will be working to handle any increase in incoming phone calls.
• The Public Works Department will have regular staff on call to manually operate the water
delivery system in the event of power failure. All water storage facilities will be filled to
capacity on December 315`. Two traffic signal technicians and two traffic sign workers will
on hand. Three operations supervisors will be working as well. The vehicle maintenance
department will have three personnel at the shop. Power generators have been secured and
will be available for immediate hook up at the wastewater lift stations that don't already have
backup generators.
December 9, 1999
• The Police Department,Fire Department and Public Works buildings all have emergency
power generators as part of their standard facility equipment.
• All City vehicles and generators will be topped off with gas on December 315`

the City will continue to receive water out of Lake Georgetown.
•
John Turner of TXU Electric/Gas assured the Council that TXU was Y2K ready and foresees no
problems with the electric or gas service.
In response to Council's questions, staff said the information will be provided to the local media
and will be well publicized and the plan will be placed in the Library for public viewing.

3.13.1. Consider a presentation concerning an Economic Development Package for La
Frontera Marriott Hotel. Staff Resource Person: Bob Bennett, City Manager.
Mr. Bennett said that La Frontera and the Marriott Hotel have asked the City to extend an
•
Economic Incentive Package to them and Don Martin of La Frontera Marriott will address that
request.
Mr. Martin gave a brief update on the Marriott Hotel. He said that the proposed Marriott
Hotel at La Frontera would:
• Have a true full service hotel with full catering facilities,ballrooms and restaurants.
• Have 300 rooms with 8 stories in height.
• Have a slightly detached convention facility,which includes 14,800 square feet of
meeting space and includes a 7,700 square foot ballroom that will seat approximately
600 people. In addition,there will be 8 Executive Boardrooms that will have a
conference room table, audio/visual equipment,presentation materials and a
kitchenette. •
• Have a 3,500 square foot sit down full service restaurant.
• The project should generate about$10 million in taxes over a 7-year period.
• Not be asking property fortax abatement.
Mr. Martin added that the reason for the request is that the original location of the
Marriott had to be changed due to the concern of the lender on the uncertainty of the alignment
for SH-45. Marriott did not want to delay the project and wants to start construction in March so
the Hotel was relocated to the center of the site,which is at the corner of Hester's Crossing and
La Frontera Boulevard. He added that the only problem with this site is that it has almost a 40-
foot fall across the site from front to back so it will cost a lot more to build the Hotel. Mr. Martin
added that the request also is for a waiver of various required fees.
In conclusion Mr. Martin outlined the Proposed Tax Analysis for the Marriott that was
provided to the Council.
Mr. Bennett noted that staff is recommending the waiver of fees that amount to
$120,941.30 and are comprised of Capital Recovery Fees and Building Permit Fees. He added
that just in City property taxes,the money that is waived would be made up after the first full
}
12 7
December 16, 1999
year of operation. Also,the Hotel would not be adding children in the area schools and it would
generate about$500,000 a year in property taxes that would go to the Round Rock Independent
School District.
In conclusion, Mr. Bennett said that staff is recommending the extension of an Economic
Development Package to the Marriott Hotel that is worth approximately$120,941.30 through the
•
waiving of fees.
3.C.1. Consider a presentation from Round Rock Refuse regarding a request to
increase garbage fees. Staff Resource Person: David Kautz,Finance Director.
Ralph Rocco of Round Rock Refuse gave a brief update on the proposed increase of
garbage fees.. He noted that Round Rock Refuse is facing a land fill increase of 65 cents per yard
as of January 1, 2000. After negotiating with the area landfills, the BFI landfill continues to be
the most competitive. The negotiated fixed rate for the dumping agreement will secure rates until
September 30, 2004. The proposed increase of 65 cents per home/per month is derived from the
landfill increase times one yard of waste generated. Round Rock Refuse is also proposing an
increase of 20 cents per home/per month for labor costs. It has been 6 years since the last rate
adjustment. Mr. Rocco added that,provided there are no interruptions from State or Federal
imposed fees,the combined proposed increase of 85 cents will allow Round Rock Refuse to
serve the residents for at least another five years.
In response to Councilman Palmer's question,Mr. Kautz said that garbage rate will go
from$10.83 per month to $11.97 per month which includes sales tax. Mr.Kautz outlined a
comparison chart of garbage rates from the surrounding entities. He noted that those cities have
one garbage pickup a week where Round Rock Refuse still has two pickups a week.
3.D.1. Consider a presentation concerning an application for a Municipal Solid Waste
Grant from Capital Area Planning Council (CAPCO). Staff Resource Person: Jim Nuse, Public
Works Director.
• Tim Jenkins and Todd Keltgen gave a brief presentation concerning a grant that will
provide partial funding for a mulching and backyard composting program which includes
providing source material to Pflugerville's Regional Composting Center.
The Mulching and Composting Program will include:
• Curbside brush Chipping
12 8.
December 16, 1999
• City-wide Mulching Center to provide finer grade mulch to Round Rock
citizens,Austin Wood Recycling, City of Round Rock Parks and Recreation
Department, and as source material to the City of Pflugerville Regional
Composting Center.
• Providing sludge material from the wastewater treatment facility as source
•
material to the City of Pflugerville Regional Composting Center.
• Conducting public education and training seminars on yard waste
management and backyard composting to include providing backyard
compost bins to participate.
Staff recommended that the grinder be purchased at a cost of$125,000. The Municipal
Solid Waste Management Grant is for a total of$80,000 to provide partial funding for 60% of the
estimated cost of a mobile tub grinder and for the cost of approximately 500 backyard
composting bins.
3.13.2. Consider a presentation on staff s recommendation for the Ci . 's first project to
implement in constructingthe he City's eastern arterial road system in accordance with the City's
Transportation Master Plan. Staff Resource Person: Jim Nuse,Public Works Director.
Bob Bennett said that when the Council adopted the Transportation Plan there was much
public debate and input for staff to come up with a map that depicts where all the future roads in
the City of Round Rock are going to be. The question has been which do we build first in this
particular area?Do we build"A"first or`B'.' first?
Tom Word outlined the background of both routes. He noted that both routes were
evaluated in as many ways as possible and outlined the issues that were discussed for both
routes. Those were:
J
• How well each of the routes will meet the demand that is going to be there?
• The cost of each route which includes landowner participation.
• The timing of getting the project on the ground for the routes. •
• Design ramifications
• Economic Development
Mr. Word said that staff determined and recommended that Arterial `B"has significant
advantages and to place the most emphasis on this route. Staff also recommended that the
engineering and design work proceed for Arterial`B", to get the road built at the earliest date
.w; 129
December 16, 1999
possible, so staff can be ready when the time comes to proceed with the project. Additionally,
staff recommended that the design of the interchange of Arterial"A"with the railroad and US79
should proceed. Also to proceed with the design and construction at the earliest date possible
p P �
with the cooperation from the property owners, of Doublecreek Drive from Gattis School Road
• to Forest Creek Drive and Forest Creek Drive from Doublecreek Drive to near County Road 122.
Mr. Word noted the following concerns were raised from the residents in that area about
Arterial`B":
• Minimize the noise
• Don't comprise the safety in crossing under the Railroad Bridge.
• Be sensitive to how adjacent properties are impacted in terms of the alignment.
• Build the road lower rather than higher to minimize the noise and visual intrusion.
• If development occurs on the adjacent properties that are directly touching the
roadway that the property owners away from the roadway be notified of the potential
development.
In conclusion,Mr. Bennett said that staff is proposing to:
• Make application to Southern Pacific Railroad for a crossing on US79 that affects
Arterial "A" and crossing under the bridge near US79 that affects Arterial`B".
• To do the top design work on Arterial"A" and Arterial`B" simultaneously.
• To begin actual construction, as soon as possible, on the mid part of Arterial"A",
which is Doublecreek Drive and Forest Creek Drive.
• To begin construction on Arterial `B"from Gattis School Road to Louis Henna
Boulevard sequentially, finish Arterial`B" and more than likely move over to finish
Arterial "A". Since these two major arterials have a schedule of completion in the
TOP of 2007.

PRESENTATIONS:
7.A. Consider a presentation concerning the Round Rock Health Clinic.
Sue Ellen Gondran and Melanie J. Truesdell gave a brief presentation on the Round Rock Health
Clinic.
The Round Rock Health Clinic is a non-profit rural designated community health clinic. The
clinic served low-income patients in Williamson County and northern Travis County since 1995 by
providing comprehensive health care for patients of all ages. The Clinic opened in 1995 under the
operation and management of Round Rock Medical Center as a private corporation. In January 1999, the
hospital made the difficult decision to close the clinic. Effective April 1999,Round Rock Clinic •
incorporated as a non-profit, 501 (c) 3, to continue to meet the community health care needs. The
organization's legal name is Buildiniz A Stronger Community Tomorrow Through The Children of
Today. Inc. The clinic is located at 2000 N. Mays, Suite 109, Round Rock.
149
JANUARY 13,2000
Round Rock Health.Clinic is a primary health care resource for the Medicaid population in the
Round Rock area. Many of the patients are classified as the"working poor" and their employees are
unable to offer health insurance. The Clinic serves mainly children and pregnant woman. 85% of the
patients seen at the clinic have Medicaid, 72% are Hispanics, 21%Anglo, 4%Black, and 3% are of
other ethnic groups, 48% of the patients live in Round Rock and a total of 80% live in Williamson
• o 0
County. Of the patients seen at the clinic are 72% of patients are children,birth to 19 years of age, 21/o
are adults from ages 20-49, 4% are adults from ages 50-64 are 3% are seniors from ages 65 and older.
Medicaid reimbursements for clinic services are minimal and payment from the government is
slow. Many physicians in Round Rock and the Williamson County are decline to see Medicaid patients
or limit the number of Medicaid patients they will see because:
• There is a lack of accessible health care resources for Medicaid patients in the Round Rock
area.
• Some patients are forced to utilize local emergency rooms to seek,routine medical care at
much higher cost
• In many instances,patients may not seek any medical care for their health condition,which
• result in medical complications leading to chronic health conditions requiring intensive
medical management with an increase health care costs.
Round Rock Health Clinic is striving to continue serving the residents in the community and
fulfill the mission of the clinic. The following strategies will be utilized to accomplish their mission.
• Develop a network of community agencies and organizations to support and collaborate with -
the clinic.
• Recruit community members and leaders to participate and volunteer at the clinic.
• Expand and strengthen the Board of Directors.
• Solicit corporation participation and donations.
• Secure interim funding until the clinic is financially stable
• In response to Council's question,Ms. Gondran said that any help the Council can give would be
greatly appreciated but did not specify a certain amount. She relayed some of the costs that the clinic
needs to stay in operation.

CITIZENS COMMUNICATIONS:
David Pruett, 1711 Amber Skyway Cove, stated that several residents feel that the
Council's salaries need to be raised because of the hours they put in. He added that the Mayor's
• salary should be raised to $1,000 a month and the Council's salary to $600 a month.
Dennis Graffious, 1328 East Logan, spoke on the 1999 City Sidewalk Plan. He asked that
the project remain on course so it can be finished in a timely manner.
John Gordon, 1007 Green Meadow, said that TxDOT has said time and time again that
the western route for SH130 was the preferred route due to the substantial and increased ridership
going through central Round Rock and that route is needed for a toll road. He said
Representative Krusee received a letter from TxDOT on January 26'that stated, "Although
extensive traffic forecasts have been performed for SH-130, a ridership analysis has not been
previously performed for SH-130..." Mr. Gordon said the public was misinformed because there
is no ridership analysis. Mayor Stluka informed Mr. Gordon that the City's consultant is studying
the figures regarding ridership. He added that TxDOT will conduct a public hearing on February
• 100'at Stone Point High School and on February 1"Ci staff will conduct a briefing on SH-
Y g �'Y t g
130. In conclusion, Mr. Gordon asked Mayor Pro-tem Chavez if she had considered donating the
City salary she cannot legally receive.

She asked the Council to table the vote on the Rusk Tract and direct the developer and builder to

188
JANUARY 27,2000
that she understands the constraints placed on the Council by the standards of the laws set by the
City and State but those standards need to be updated and changed.
Linda Neeley, 1350 Rusk Road, expressed her concern regarding the Sonoma/Rusk Tract.
She asked the Council to table the vote on the Rusk Tract until the residents and developer come
to an agreement on the lot sizes, one story houses and the fencing issue. •

Survey,A-409, and Sam L. Jenkins Survey, A-347 (Rusk/Sonoma Tract D. (Second Reading)
Staff Resource Person: Joe Vining,Planning Director.
Mr. Vining noted that a Restrictive Covenant has been delivered to the City and is ready •
to be filed if this item is approved by the Council. The proposed zoning complies with the
adopted General Plan. On October 5, 1999 the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended
adoption of original zoning District SF-2. The first reading of the ordinance was approved
January 13, 2000. Applicant: Pulte Home Corporation, c/o JADCO Development, Inc. Agent:
Randall Jones Engineering, Inc.
Mayor Stluka said, "The City has gone to as much effort in this case as with any other
new development and I don't think the City has `short changed' this one in any regard with what
the Council can do. I truly empathize with the landowners that have come before the Council
expressing their concerns. I don't believe that we can hold a developer hostage for things that the
Council has no power of legislature and those things have to be worked out at the site plan •
process and other steps that are left to actually go through the development."
Councilman Joseph said he spoke to Mr. Horn,the developer, and received a response on
some of the concerns Ms. Rowland had relayed to the Council by e-mail. Those are:
• The homes that back up to Rusk Road—There will be three single story homes to every one
two-story home.
191
JANUARY 27,2000
• Woodcrete Fence-The developer will meet all fence requirements. The fence may also be
put into a Homeowners Association whether it's wood or another material. If a board falls it
will be replaced because this development is a long term development and they want it to
look nice.
• Trees along the right-of-way—The homebuilder will be putting two mature trees in the back
•
yards along Rusk Road.
• Lot sizes—The small lots will be in the area where there are no trees and the larger lots are to
save the oak trees.
• They are working with the School District to move the lighted facility toward Gattis School
Road so it would not affect the neighborhood.
• The main traffic will be brought down Sonoma Drive and not Rusk Road.
• The Rusk House will be saved, restored and sold as a home. The large lots will be in a
perimeter around it.
Mayor Stluka asked if Mr. Horn planned to submit the information in writing.
Councilman Joseph said he will ask him.
• In response to Councilman Hairston's question,Mr. Vining said that the Council was not
under a time restrain legally to complete this approval tonight. Councilman Hairston said his
concern is that the developer nor his representative came before the Council to describe their
development.
Mayor Pro-tem Chavez noted that there is a limitation on completion dates for the two
schools that are going to be at the southern portion of this tract.
Councilman Nielson said, "It's unfortunate that the developer chose to respond to this at
the eleventh hour. It sounds like some of the concerns finally are being addressed. We now have
the concern of it sounds good tonight and nothing happens tomorrow. This has been a difficult
situation for everybody. We have had a balancing act on just about every aspect of this. The City
• only has so many regulations that we have in place that the State allows us to have in place. We
have tried to work within that. We have not been able to address all the landowners concerns. I
think we have addressed some of them. We have tried to address the quality of this development.
Staff and everyone has worked hard to try to make sure that what is out there is something that at
least is a reasonable development. I think it is significant that through the Restrictive Covenants
we have kept at least 600 houses off the ground. I think 10 years down the road we will be happy
192
JANUARY 27,2000
about that. Unfortunately,we are not able to address every issue that will make everybody happy.
On one hand I am tempted to say `let's delay it' on the other hand I just don't really think that
delaying it is going to get us any farther than we already are. Whether we like it or not, we do
have the `gun to our head' on getting these schools built."

against the Texas Rainbow Company for additional right-of-way needed for the widening of U.S.
Hwy. 79. The case was set to be heard before the Condemnation Special Commissioners last
Wednesday, January 19, 2000, but a tentative settlement agreement was reached. This resolution
will authorize the Mayor to execute both the Agreed Judgment and the contract for the purchase
of the right-of-way. The cost will be $4.00 a square foot which is a little more than $311,000.00.
This amount is a reasonable settlement with the landowner and is the last piece of property that is
needed to proceed with the construction of project.

PRESENTATIONS:
7.A.1. Consider a presentation by John Turner of TXU concerning the recent Tariff
Filingsby TXU. Staff Resource Person: Bob Bennett, City Manager.
John Turner,District Manager of TXU Electric and Gas, outlined TXU Electric
• Company's Tariff Filing Pursuant to Substantive Rule 25.241,requesting revisions to 27 of its
retail rates/riders. He added that this Tariff Filing is also being made with the Public Utility
Commission of Texas. The Tariff Filing will not impact anyone's rates. The primary purpose of
the Tariff Filing is to modify, close, or delete certain existing tariffs in order to facilitate the
transition to a competitive retail market as of January 1, 2002,pursuant to Senate Bill 7 passed in
the 1999 Texas Legislature. The four types of changes that are being proposed are:
zos
FEBRUARY 8,2000
1. Close certain retail tariffs to new customers for services deemed competitive
energy services,which cannot be provided after September 1, 2000.
2. Close and/or modify optional retail tariffs with contract provisions that extend
beyond the January 1, 2002 date of full competition or that are no longer
necessary. •
3. Modify retail tariffs to limit contract term for basic rates to December 31, 2001
4. Delete retail tariffs that are no longer being utilized.
Mr. Turner noted that it is not necessary for the Council to take any action on this item
but can do so if they choose.
7.A.2. Consider a presentation by the Clean Air Force. Staff Resource Person: Bob
Bennett, City Manager.
Wade Thomason, Executive Director of Clean Air Force, gave an update on the Clean Air
Force Organization.
The Clean Air Force is the only organization in Central Texas that acts as an advisor to
local governments on air quality issues. It serves not only as a clearinghouse for technical
information on air quality, but also provides a forum for policymaking that includes business •
leaders, community interests, and elected officials from across Hays, Travis, and Williamson
counties. The $8,406 the City has provided to the Clean Air Force for the past two years has
essentially hired an air quality staff person available to assist Round Rock in addressing this
important regional issue.
The Clean Air Force receives financial support from the cities of Austin, Cedar Park,
Georgetown, and San Marcos and from Hays, Travis and Williamson counties. The contributions
that Round Rock provided were pooled with these sources to support the administrative
operations of the Clean Air Force. This includes salary/benefits for a full-time Executive Director
and general office expenses such as rent, phone, supplies, etc. The organization operates on an
extremely tight budget and any shortfalls from the budget contributors can impact the •
organization's ability to be an effective regional organization.
Mr. Thomason added that it is expected that the Central Texas region will be declared
non-attainment for ozone in July of this year. This brings about two requirements for the area.
One is to demonstrate transportation conformity and the other is to develop a SIP (State
Implementation Plan). While the SIP will take 2-3 years to develop and submit for final
207
FEBRUARY 8, 2000
approval, a demonstration of transportation conformity must be completed around the time of the
non-attainment designation. Failure to demonstrate transportation conformity results in a
stoppage of all road and highway projects until such time as conformity is demonstrated. This
could result in delays of several months or longer which would affect SH 130 and other road
• projects vital to the continued growth and prosperity of Round Rock. The Clean Air Force is an
integral part of coordinating the effort to demonstrate conformity in a timely manner. They hope
that this work will be completed sometime this summer and the outcome will be a conformity
demonstration and no road construction stoppages.
The process of developing a SIP will be a long and tedious one. The Clean Air Force has
already begun the planning process for the work that must go into this plan. Having an effective
SIP will determine whether we can become an attainment area again. Failure to do so will bring a
new round of measures that will affect businesses and consumers where they feel it the most... in
the pocketbook.
r
Mr. Thomason continued that part of the early action plan is the Business Outreach
Program. In this program they meet with businesses in the area and work on what is best for
• them in bringing emissions down.
Mr. Ron Hine, Environmental Manager of TETCO-Westinghouse, outlined some of the
work that Clean Air Force has done with their business and what they have done to help reduce
the pollutants.
Councilman Hairston noted that since Mr. Thomason's last visit to the Council he has not
seen any other reports, status reports, activities or programs in Williamson County or Round
Rock on informing the public about air quality issues and how to reach the attainment status.
Also, at that time, his concern was that one of the monitoring sites was not in Round Rock or
Williamson County.
Councilman Stewart expressed his concern that Round Rock has been very selective in
• attracting businesses that do not pollute the air and yet there are no monitoring sites in
Williamson County, Bastrop County or Caldwell County which would give a better idea of the
quality of the air. He added that he does not understand how Williamson County and two other
counties can be penalized because of data from two sensors in Travis County and one in San
Marcos. In addition, Councilman Stewart said he has not seen any activities or information, other
than a newsletter his receives,promoting clean air.
2Q 8
FEBRUARY 8, 2000
Mr. Thomason concluded that the City of Round Rock has a definite stake in the issue of
ozone non-attainment and will receive many benefits from the continued financial support of the
Clean Air Force. It is important that the counties work together on solutions and remain
proactive on the air quality issue.
Mayor Stluka noted that the Council has never received a clear understanding, other than •
seeing a newsletter periodically, on what the $8,000 that the City has provided to the Clean Air
Force is being spent on.
7 B 1 Consider a presentation on the City of Round Rock Neighborhood Enhancement
Partnerships. Staff Resource Person: Tim Jenkins,Project Manager.
This new program is designed to encourage projects that foster civic pride, enhance and
beautify neighborhoods, expand citizen involvement and promote the interests of.the Round
Rock community. The City contributes matching funds to projects identified and developed by
Neighborhood Associations. The neighborhoods provide cash, in-kind and/or"sweat equity"
contributions. The Neighborhood Association drives the program. They plan the project and
coordination of the plan. The Plan is then submitted to the City to review for eligibility. If they
become eligible, a project review meeting is set up to establish conditions based on their ideas as •
well as determine the level of support from the City. The neighborhood will be responsible for
maintain the improvements with the help and guidance from the City. The first partner in this
program is the Rolling Ridge Neighborhood Association.
Rodney Howard, 1222 Leah Lane, Miguel Mecina, 2206 Jasper Cove and Glen Beeler
1307 Leah Lane,represented the Rolling Ridge Neighborhood. Mr. Howard outlined the plan for
their neighborhood.
7.C.1. Consider a presentation concerning the Consolidated Annual Performance and
Evaluation Report. Staff Resource Person: Joe Vining,Planning Director.
This report has been prepared to comply with current HUD regulatory and statutory
requirements for reporting Community Development Block Grant(CDBG)program year •
accomplishments and performance. This report has been made available to the public for
examination and comment for a period of at least fifteen days beginning January 27, 2000.
In response to Councilman Hairston's question,Mr. Vining said that 11 residents were
helped with down payment assistance.
209
FEBRUARY 8, 2000
7.C.2. Consider a presentation concerning FY 2001 Community Development Block

allocation of$433,000 for the next fiscal year. This funding announcement triggers the next
citizen participation process on community needs for the Community Development Action Plan

Hunt Survey A-245, in Williamson County (Endeavor Group: Tract I). (First Reading) Staff
Resource Person: Joe Vining,Planning Director.
This annexation procedure is authorized under Section 43.028 of the Texas Local
Government Code. A petition for voluntary annexation has been submitted. Applicant W.A.
Wilson,D.W. Leppin, and M.C. Anderson, Jr .
Councilman Stewart expressed his concern regarding the right-of-way. He added that a
public policy is needed, as it relates to the Master Transportation Plan,when entities seek
voluntary annexation that negotiations be conducted prior to the annexation or in conjunction
with the annexation concerning the right-of-way that would benefit the taxpayers. This policy
would assure that the City would be able to acquire right-of-way at the price prior to annexation
and not after annexation when improvements have been made and the price has been increased.
Mr. Newburg said he understands Councilman Stewart's concern and they have no
problem making an agreement to convey the right-of-way tract at their purchase price. He added
that they can also make it a condition of the annexation. Councilman Stewart assured Mr.
Newberg that his concern was not specifically addressed to him or his development.

During the demand modeling analysis it was determined an additional pipeline feed would be
beneficial to the far eastern service area of Round Rock. The transfer of water from PP 1031 to
PP971 is best accomplished with a large water transmission pipeline,which eliminates pump
stations and other facilities. The proposed engineering cost for this study is $33,200 with a 60-
day completion time. The engineer will provide Preliminary Engineering Phase Services for a
•
detailed study for providing surface water from pressure plan(PP) 1031 to PP's 890, 971, and
924 east of IH-35 via existing and new transmission pipelines. The engineer will update and
utilize the City's existing distribution system computer model to establish the optimum sizing for
storage,pumping, and sizing of the east transmission line for the projected distribution system
connections. The transmission pipeline routes, control vault locations, and appurtenances will be

Resource Person: Joe Vining, Planning Director. •
Mona Ryan, of the Community Development Division of the Planning Department,

JoBeth Kiefer-Precision Business Solutions
Brian Wright- The Web Design Store
Dan Nivero -ESolution2000.com
Chris Campasano -Innovative Web Solutions
Cara King-King Network Solutions
7.B.1. Consider a presentation concerning a proposal to adjust certain Municipal Court
fees. Staff Resource Person: Dan McNery,Municipal Judge.
The Municipal Court Clerk currently manages and distributes a total of twenty-eight (28)
different court fees. In most cases the court collects costs ranging from $44.25 to $47.25 when a
conviction is entered. These costs are State law mandated. These fees fund State programs such
as Victims of Crime, Law Enforcement Training & Court Personnel Training. When an
individual enters a plea of"No Contest" or"Guilty"the court must charge such costs. The Court
Security Fee ($3.00) and the Court Technology Fee ($4.00) are optional fees that Municipal
Courts may charge in addition to the mandated court costs. The purpose and recommendation of
these fees are as follow:
Court Security Fee:
Security in the Courtroom and the Municipal Court Clerk's office are a continuous
concern. Many times a defendant displays inappropriate or threatening behavior during the
course of business. While most times this behavior is harmless, the rising number of violent
incidents in public areas is obviously a statewide concern. A security plan will protect all
parties who feel threatened by these erratic displays. This fund would allow the Municipal Court
to finance a bailiff for each.court session. This would relieve the Police Department who is
253
MARCH 9,2000
currently supporting this program for the court. This law specifies that the amount to be collected
shall be $3.00. Staff recommended that a Security Fee be collected to support a part time bailiff
who is a certifiedp eace officer. Approximately 100 court sessions per year are held averaging
2.5 hours per session. An estimate of approximately$5,000 annually would be needed to finance
this program.
• Court Technology Fee:
During each legislative session new laws are created in the Class C Misdemeanor
category. With every new law additional variables must be considered in developing Municipal
Court policy. This further increases the responsibilities of Court personnel. Updated and efficient
technology is a continuous need to enhance the operation of the Court. New technology could
smooth the transition from an old law to a new law during legislative years and enhance
coordination with other departments. This fee would allow the Court to purchase items such as
automated ticket books, imaging systems and audiovisual equipment. This law specifies that the
amount to be collected shall not exceed $4.00. Staff recommended that a Technology Fee be
collected to finance "Automated Ticket Books". These devices are high tech lap top type
• computers which allow an officer to swipe the driver's license of the violator into the system,
choose a violation, print the violator copy of the citation and download the data directly into the
Court system. These units cost approximately $2,400 each and the goal is to issue one to every
officer. One year of funds would be needed to finance the purchase of at least eight units.
The recommended fees will increase court fees on all cases to a range from $51.20 to
$54.25.
7.C.1. Consider a presentation concerningtraining aining for the public on Community Based
Policing hosted by the Texas Institute for Public Problem Solving"TIPPS,"on March 27-28,
2000, 7:00— 10:00PM in the City Council Chambers. Staff Resource Person: Paul Conner, Chief
of Police.
The Police Department and the Texas Institute for Public Problem Solving are offering an

CALL WORK SESSION TO ORDER- 6:00 P.M.
ROLL CALL: Those members present were Mayor Robert A. Stluka, Jr.,Mayor Pro-tem
Martha A. Chavez, Councilman Tom Nielson, Councilman Earl M. Hairston, Councilman Rick •
Stewart, Councilman Earl Palmer and Councilman Jimmy Joseph. Also present were City
Manager Bob Bennett, Assistant City Manager/City Secretary Joanne Land and City Attorney
Steve Sheets.
PRESENTATIONS:
3.A. Consider a presentation by a representative of the TNRCC concerning air quality.
Staff Resource Person: Bob Bennett, City Manager.
Cathy Stephens of the TNRCC gave a brief overview on the current status of the air
quality in the Austin area,which includes Round Rock. The area currently exceeds the 8 hour
standard,however,that standard is in litigation and is currently unenforceable. The EPA still
thinks they can designate non-attainment and, in fact,require designating by July 2000. Even
though the standard is unenforceable there are consequences associated merely with being •
designated as non-attainment. The most significant of those would be transportation conformity
requirements. Areas would go into an automatic lapse upon designation,which means federal
transportation funding for adding capacity projects would be limited until you got out of the
lapse. Ms. Stephens outlined the required standards for compliance and the standards that would
cause a violation. The TNRCC is expecting additional guidance on the designation process very
soon. The EPA is required to designate areas in July 2000 but it may delay those until December.
As part of the designation process EPA first considers recommendations by the State,.which are
submitted by the Governor. The Governor receives the recommendations from the TNRCC,
which are developed from public input. The major concern is establishing the boundaries of the
non-attainment area. EPA has proposed guidelines of using the MSA as the boundary. Ms. •
Stephens outlined the type of projects that would be affected and what can be done to remain in
compliance.
Councilman Nielson expressed his concern regarding the traffic on the Interstate that only
travels through the Austin and Round Rock area,which can cause non-attainment.
267
MARCH 23,2000
In response to Councilman Hairston's question,Ms. Stephens said that a county can get a
monitor but if they don't have one they would be considered unclassifiable but if the county has
a monitor they would be classified either attainment or non-attainment by what is read on the
monitor.
Councilman Stewart thanked Ms. Stephens for the informative presentation and noted
•
that he understands the situation a lot better.
3.B. Consider a presentation by a representative of Wide-Open West for cable service.
Staff Resource Person(s): Bob Bennett, City Manager and Steve Sheets, City Attorney.
Dave Haverkate of Wide-Open West gave a brief presentation on their business plans. He
noted that Wide-Open West is a new competitive and fully open access network provider of
broadband Internet, cable TV and voice services. The Company's mission is to build and operate
the country's best residential, fiber optic based high bandwidth Internet and digital cable
television network. Mr. Haverkate outlined the following.

• Benefits for the City and consumers
• Process Phasing
- Phase One—Licensing and Consents
- Phase Two—Construction

3.C. Consider a presentation concerning the maintenance of cemeteries. Staff Resource
Person: Bob Bennett, City Manager and Sharon Prete, Parks and Recreation Director.

MARCH 23, 2000
• Bratton Cemetery
Steve Sheets outlined the legal aspects of a City maintaining a cemetery. He noted that
Chapter 713 of the Health& Safety Code, Section 713.009(a) states: "...a municipality with a
cemetery inside the municipality's boundaries or extraterritorial jurisdiction may,by resolution,
take possession and control of the cemetery on behalf.of the public if the cemetery threatens or
p rY p rY
endangers public health, safety, comfort, or welfare." In addition these statutes do not apply to
`.a
perpetual care cemeteries or private family cemeteries. After the City takes control of the f{.^
cemetery under the procedures outline by Section 713.009 (e), it is required by Section 713.009
,i'esxw�
(f)to continue to maintain the cemetery so that it does not endanger the public health, safety, sz
comfort, or welfare. Subsequent subsections prohibit offering additional burial spaces for sale, .{
and mandate that the cemetery must remain open to the public.
Ms. Prete noted that currently staff is helping maintain the Hopewell Cemetery and the
Round Rock Cemetery. The Harrell family is still maintaining the Harrell Cemetery. The family
that lives in the home next to the Smalley Cemetery is maintaining that cemetery. As for the =a
Bratton Cemetery,Mr. and Mrs. Archer could use some help in the maintenance of the Bratton 'n`
Cemetery.
.z.__
Mr. Archer informed the Council that the Bratton Cemetery is not a private family
cemetery and not only family members are buried there. He added that they can use some help ~'
maintaining it and the little funds that are contributed for maintenance can be turned over to the
City for upkeep of the cemetery.
Karen Thompson encouraged the Council to help maintain the area cemeteries to preserve
the heritage of the area. ="s

- Cost to City—two on duty officers for one hour-,already budgeted
- Cost to Round Rock Express—six off duty officers at the park—already budgeted by
Round Rock Express
- Use of vehicles and fuel has already been budgeted
• Potential Problems the Plan can face are:
- Heavy call load may put pressure on officers to pull off FM1460/CR 113
- Major collision on US 79 may cause traffic tie-ups that delay emptying of parking
areas
- If a collision occurs on US 79 the primary egress for the park may become Harrell
parkway to County Road 113
- A collision on County Road 113 may force all vehicles to exit via US79

MARCH 23,2000
The wastewater rates for retail customers are based on the average monthly water
consumption for the months of December, January and February of each fiscal year. The
unusually warm and dry weather during the month of December 1999 forced citizens to apply
above normal amount of water to their landscaping. Staff recommended that the December 1999
be disregarded for the current period and that the monthly wastewater service
nsum tion Y
water co p
p g •
use should be based upon the actual monthly water consumption, or the average monthly water
consumption for the months of January and February 2000,whichever is less. This methodology
would be in effect only until the next time that wastewater service usage 'is calculated. This
calculation will apply to both the residential and commercial customers. Mr. Kautz concluded
that this action will be a benefit to the customers and the only fair thing to do.
