ORDINANCES:
9.A.1. Consider an ordinance adopting a Municipal Court Building Security Fee and a
Municipal Court Technology Fee. (First Reading) Staff Resource Person: Joanne Land, •
Assistant City Manager.
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:
7
APRIL 13,2000
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
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 certified peace 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.

•
Joe Vining,Planning Director.
This text amendment entails the following changes:
1. Modification of the side loading garage definition. Currently this definition
includes the words "or a side street." The term "side street" is not only redundant
but erroneous. This change omits that particularly misleading term.
2. Restatement of the multi-family height restriction. Under this change a new foot
note No. 6 would be added to the Height and Placement Requirement Table and
f the current zoning District MF Height Limit entry"30"'.would be changed to
"30699
The significance of the new footnote No. 6 is to clarify that the 30 ft. MF height
restriction applies only to single-family units, duplexes, threeplexes, and fourplexes. The height
limit of multifamily development containing more than four dwelling units shall be established •
by the Development Review Board site approval and not exceed three stories. The Planning and

The Round Rock City Council met in Regular Session on Thursday, May 11, 2000 in the
City Council Chamber, 221 E. Main Street.
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 and City Attorney Steve Sheets.
WORK SESSION:
3.A.1. Consider a presentation concerning an overview of the water production system
including maj or transmission pipelines. Staff Resource: Jim Nuse,Public Works Director.
The purpose of this presentation is to explain the current capability of the water system
and planned improvements for the future. Also,the water storage system and the capacities that
are available there.
Currently,water from Lake Georgetown comes into the plant and into the City's system
which also serves Brushy Creek MUD as an outside customer. There is also a connection from
the City of Austin with Martin Hill. The valve is currently closed and Round Rock has never •
used that supply, it's available on an as needed basis.Next year, the Stillhouse Hallow line will
come on line and will pump into Lake Georgetown. That will give Georgetown the added
capacity to be able to supply Round Rock's needs until around 2020.Next summer the west
transmission line,which is under construction now,will come on line. Brushy Creek will no
longer be a Round Rock customer as of 2006 and the City has given notice to Brushy Creek. The
east transmission line will be in place by 2006,which will feed the High Country Tank. A
relationship.is being anticipated between the LCRA, City of Austin and Brushy Creek MUD of
which Austin and Round Rock to some extent will utilize portions of their system to provide
water to Brushy Creek MUD. The south transmission main completes the major internal loop.
Mr. Nuse outlined the storage system throughout the City. He concluded thatRound Rock has •
15.1 million gallon of storage in its system,which is far in excess of the TNRCC minimums and
will have another million gallons by this Summer and by next Spring an addition of 1.25 million
gallons with the completion of the High Country system.

MAY 11,2000
Steve Miller, Engineer, outlined the status of the expansion at the Water Plant and some
of the major projects that are online. The Water Plant expansion is scheduled to be substantially
completed by the 4`'' of July.
3.A.2. Consider a presentation concerning dam safety in the Brushy Creek drainage
• basin. Staff Resource Person: Jim Nuse, Public Works Director.
Jim Nuse noted that he is a Director of the upper Brushy Creek Water Control and
Improvement District for Williamson and Milam Counties. Mr. Nuse offered the following
highlights regarding dam safety in the Brushy Creek drainage basis.
Brushy Creek Water Control and Improvement District No.1
• High Hazard Dams
Background
• Forty-six dams in Brushy Creek watershed, Williamson and Milam Counties
• Built by US Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service
• First dam built in 1959, last dam built in 1976
Purpose of Dams
• • Flood Control
• Sediment Retention
What is the Brushy Creek WCID No.l
• Created in 1957 by the State of Texas
• Serves as local sponsor for land acquisition and maintenance of dams
Dam Safety—Who is Responsible?
• TNRCC is the regulatory agency responsible for safety of dams
• NRCS (formerly SCS) is responsible for the design and construction of dams
• Brushy Creek WCID, as local sponsor of dams, is responsible to TNRCC for safety of
dams
• What is the Problem?
• TNRCC classified 22 of 46 dams as high-hazard due to downstream development.
• High hazard means if the dam should fail,population downstream would be at risk of
life and property loss.
• As future development occurs, it is likely that additional dams will be reclassified as .
high hazard.
72
MAY 11, 2000
Freese and Nichols conducted a Study, which was funded by Williamson County and the
cities of Round Rock and Austin. Gene Richardson of Freese and Nichols they:
• Developed detailed hydrologic and hydraulic model of upper Brushy Creek watershed
• Evaluated each of the dams identified by TNRCC as high hazard
• Determined impacts of failure of dams
•
• Developed options for protecting public safety
• Developed preliminary opinions of cost of options
Summary of Final Report
• Nineteen of 46 dams are high hazard dams
• Failure of dams during extreme flood event would place significant number of lives at
risk.
• Estimated costs to comply with TNRCC regulations is $68 to $89 million.
• Proposed changes to TNRCC regulations would reduce estimated costs to $10
million.
tions
• Increase height of dams by adding parapet walls or compacted fill •
• Armor plate face of dam to prevent erosion during overtopping
• "Cafeteria"plan combining certain structural options with emergency action plans
and early warning systems.
Mr. Richardson showed the an example of the Parapet Wall.which is on the Lake
Arlington Dam and Armor Plating on the Wirtz Dam.
"Cafeteria"Plan
• Combines structural and non-structural measures
• Each dam must safely pass 50%PMF
• Emergency actions plans
• Early warning systems •
Costs
• Estimated cost to modify dams to pass most extreme flood(PMF) - $68 to $89
million
• Estimated costs to comply with proposed"cafeteria"option- $10 million
Recommendations
7 3
MAY 11,2000
• Perform feasibility study of"cafeteria"option for Brushy Creek Dams
Mr. Nuse concluded that the"cafeteria"is the best option.
3.B.1. Consider a presentation by Jeff Montgomery on the City survey. Staff Resource
Person: Joe Vining,Planning Director.
• Bob Bennett noted that this is the third survey of the City's residents and the second
performed by Jeff Montgomery. The survey is used for budgeting purposes and for discussion at
the Council retreat this summer when the City's Strategic Plan is reviewed.
Mr. Montgomery noted that 54 questions were used to survey 400 citizens. The margin of
error is just under 5%. Mr. Montgomery outlined the following.
Key Findings
• As in 1998,respondents tend to believe that the City is going in the right direction,
and that the quality of life is getting better.
• As in 1998, City services—especially trash collection—scored high, except when it
comes to street maintenance, where dissatisfaction is holding steady, and traffic and
transportation planning,where the numbers remain very low.
• • Slightly more people now say the City does an excellent or good job at planning.
What bad feelings exist are likely attributable to traffic problems.
• When asked if respondents felt safe walking alone in the neighborhood at night,the
numbers were mostly very positive, as in 1998. In fact, for a City growing as fast as
Round Rock,in close proximity to a large City like Austin,the numbers are excellent.
• When asked for the biggest issues facing Round Rock in the next five years,
respondents overwhelmingly said"traffic."In fact traffic was up 20 points even from
its first-place spot last year. Concern with traffic is so high that, in effect,nine out of
ten respondents listed it as one of the biggest issues Round Rock has to face.
• The City gets numbers just barely higher than the Texas Department of
• Transportation when it comes to road maintenance and new construction—neither do
well.
• Well over half of those surveyed said they were not at all familiar with the City's new
Transportation Plan.
74
MAY 11,2000
• "Friends"and"the Round Rock Leader"have both dropped sharply as a source of
information about what's happening in the City. The City web page has gone up as a
source.
• In 1998, dissatisfaction with the job the City is doing"keeping you informed of City
programs and services"was a source of mild concern; it is a more serious problem
now,with the negative rating higher than the positive rating. Dissatisfaction with the
City's job of keeping them informed about programs and services is especially high
among newer residents of Round Rock.
Conclusion
In general,the respondents strongly approve of the way things are going in Round Rock,
much as they did in 1998. They feel safe in their neighborhoods,they have good feelings about
most City services, and they believe that quality of life will continue to get better. For a City
that's growing as fast as Round Rock, that's distinctly impressive.
They did see a few trouble spots, and a few significant changes,both up and down, since
1998.
One problem that seems to have worsened significantly in the past two years is traffic, •
and all that is involved with it. Consistently,in every question involving,traffic, street
maintenance, road construction,transportation, and City transportation planning,people showed
dissatisfaction—as much or more than in 1998.
Another area that needs attention is communications—especially the growing sense of
dissatisfaction with the City's ability to keep residents informed of City programs and services.
In 1998,we saw reason for mild concern in those numbers. Now it is a more serious problem,
particularly among newer 'residents. For example,respondents were generally unaware of the
City's new Transportation Plan, or of how much the City is planning to spend on traffic and
transportation issues. That suggests there may be some communication trouble. When a City is
growing as fast as Round Rock is, communicating can be hard But, obviously, it is very •
important.
Respondents were also less than satisfied with the City's willingness to listen to and
respond to the needs of citizens. Better communication in both directions will go a long way
toward solving this problem.
75
MAY 11, 2000
Mayor Stluka suggested that the"City Beat" be mailed with the utility bills, to provide
more information on the City's cable channel, and on the web site.
Councilman Hairston suggested sending the"City Beat"by e-mail to the Neighborhood
Associations officers or representatives.
3.B.2. Consider a presentation concerningrg the landscape ordinance to provide
•
for inspections by registered ered professionals. Staff Resource Person: Joe Vining,Planning Director.
Currently,the planning staff is responsible for inspecting landscaping projects for
conformity to submitted plans. Staff proposed an amendment that would place the inspection
responsibility with the professional that prepared the plans. Landscape plan submittals would be
signed by a Landscape Architect or an Architect registered in Texas. The inspection of the
landscape that is installed is to be conducted and certified by a Landscape Architect or an
Architect registered in Texas. In addition, the landscape inspection fee that is currently collected
will be eliminated.
3.C.1. Consider a presentation by the Round Rock Chamber of Commerce Tourism and
Statute Committee concerning"Crossing the Brushy at the round rock." Staff Resource Person:
• Joanne Land,Assistant City Manager.
Michelle Rackley gave an update on the"Crossing the Brushy at the Round Rock"
statutes. Currently,the Chamber's fund-raising efforts for this project have netted over$100,000.
Grants are being pursued and the Tourism Committee continues to explore different avenues to
ensure a consistent flow of funds for the completion of this project. The purchase of the land by
the City was instrumental in lending creditability to the project and enabling the Chamber to
begin the solicitation process. Donations have been structured so that everyone in the community
may participate in this project. Dell Computer generously donated$50,000 to the project and
challenged other corporate businesses to donate to the project. Putt Putt Golf& Games donated
$1,000 and challenged small businesses to support the project as well. The Morning Kiwanis has
• pledged$10,000 leading the non-profit sector in supporting"The Crossing."In addition,
engraved paving stones will be sold to the public for approximately$35 each to help create a
walkway throughout the project.
The unveiling of the first of many statues is planned for approximately the middle of
June. Phase I will include 2 longhorns. Steer 1 will be ready for casting in 2 weeks and be on site
in mid-July. Steer 2 is currently in the framing phase. The cost for Phase I is $65,220. Phase 2 of
6
76
MAY 11, 2000
the project is expected to begin in the summer and on the ground in the Spring 2001. The project
will consist of 3 steers and a horse and rider. An unexpected addition to the project is "The
Pioneer Woman"which was commissioned by William Peckham of Round Rock Travel and
Tours and donated to "The Crossing."This is the first bronze that has been finished and a
memorial to the women who played an important role in the Texas cattle drives. "The Pioneer
•
Woman"will be temporarily located at Round Rock Travel and Tours until the project site's
initial preparation has been completed. This statute is being included in Phase I with the 2
longhorns.
The work session adjourned at 7:33 p.m.

CITIZENS COMMUNICATIONS:
Dennis Graffious, 1328 East Logan,President of the Neighborhood Association for the
Greenslopes Subdivision expressed his concern on the progress of the Greenslopes sidewalks
project.Mr.Nuse responded that the delay was due to the Texas Department of Licensing and
Regulation not approving the plans for the sidewalks because they were not in compliance with
77
MAY 11,2000
the Americans with Disabilities Act. It turns out that 68 driveways are more than 2% grade and
therefore beyond the scope of what is required by the State. The City did file an appeal and staff
has received verbal approval of the project with stipulations but as of yet staff has not received
the correspondence that lists those stipulations.
Posey McClung; 1603 Karen Cove,relayed that there were plenty of Round Rock
•
coverlets for sell at the Senior Center.
Mayor Stluka assured the citizens that the relocation of the Dell Senior Management
offices will not change any of Dell's operation in Round Rock.
Jim Nuse briefly addressed the recent mosquito outbreak in certain parts of the City. He
noted what can and cannot be done to eliminate the recent outbreak of the flood water
mosquitoes. He added that the mosquitoes after they have hatched do not remain in the area
longer than 7 days and any fogging, spraying or misting will not affect them. Another type of
mosquito is the standing water breeding mosquito, which do not range out of ones back yard.
These mosquitoes stay where they are hatched only if there is standing water and last between 3
to 7 days. Citizens should make every effort to eliminate any standing water on their property.
Mr.Nuse added that staff would be checking all the City properties to eliminate or treat standing
water.

The Sustainability Indicators Project is rooted in the concept of sustainable community--
recognizing the interdependence of the environment, economic development, and social equity.
By selecting forty-two issues and articulating an ideal state for the future,the members of the
Sustainability Indicators Project Advisory Board are making a strong statement about the kind of
• community they would like to see. The indicators project is not a new idea, over 150
communities are using this tool for civic improvement. This information can be used by
communities as a starting point for dialogue and action.
Mr. Vining outlined the following selected indicators.
Our Community/Our Safety Our Health/Our Environment

8.B.1 Consider a presentation concerning the adoption of the 2000 International Family
of Codes and the 1999 National Electrical Code. Staff Resource Person: Jim Nuse,Public Works
Director.
Mark Remmert,Building Official made the presentation. There are three different Code
Organizations that publish codes or groups of families of codes that Cities adopt and enforce to
set up minimum standards for their commercial,residential, and all construction industry. Those
are the ICBG,which is the Uniform Building Code, SPCCI,which is the Standard Building "
Code, and BOCA International Code. Every year these codes change to keep up with the current
industry standards. Every 3 years these revisions are incorporated into the text of the Code. In
1994, the architects, engineers, and builders across the State of Texas and across the Nation
asked the three model code organizations to come together and create a single family of codes
that everyone could use. In response to that request,the Standard,Uniform, and BOCA Codes
collectively came together and generated one set of codes which is called the 2000 International
Codes. The focus for updates is on the 2000 International Code. Staff recommended that the •
Council adopt the 2000 International Code and the latest edition of the 1999 National Electrical
Code. Staff will bring back the legislation concerning the adoption of these codes the first
meeting in August to be implemented October 1". Staff will be in contact with the construction
industry to receive their input on the proposed adoption of these codes.

10.1).2. Consider an ordinance amending Chapter 3 Sections 3.1103 (1) (i) and 3.1106
(1), Code of Ordinances (1995 Edition), City of Round Rock Texas the site plan certification
127
MAY 25,2000
process and the inspection process for landscape requirement. (First Reading)Staff Resource
Person: Joe Vining,Planning Director.
The current ordinance allows landscape site plans greater than two acres to be certified by
either a registered architect or landscape architect. For properties under two acres,plans may be
• certified by a registered architect, landscape architect, engineer or nurseryman. Staff
recommended that all landscape site plans,regardless of the size of the tract,be certified by
either a landscape architect or architect registered in Texas.
Under the existing requirement, staff often receives non-compliant landscape site plans
for properties under two acres. Staff then expends additional time working with the property
owner to reconfigure the plan to make it comply with City requirements. As with properties
greater than two acres, staff expects that plans developed by either a landscape architect or an
architect for properties under two acres will be of a higher quality than those currently submitted.
This will reduce the amount of staff time required to review the landscape site plan and improve
the quality of citywide landscaping.
Current regulations require the Building Inspection Department to perform an on-site
inspection of landscaping prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy to ensure that it
complies with the approved landscape site plan. Due to increases in commercial and industrial
development applications,these requirements are rarely met. Staff recommended that either a
landscape architect or architect registered in Texas perform the landscape installation inspection
and certify that it compiles with the approved landscape site plan and to eliminate the need for
the landscape inspection fee,which is collected with the building permit application.

8.B.1 Consider a presentation concerning traffic management on Oakridge Drive. Staff
Resource Person: Jim Nuse,Public Works Director.
Tom Word,Traffic Engineer, outlined a traffic calming pilot program that is proposed to
be implemented in the Oakridge Drive area between Lime Rock and Ridge Rock. He went over a
survey that was conducted which showed the speeds that vehicles are traveling through this area.
The survey showed that a large percentage of those vehicles are traveling over the speed limit.
Mr. Word added that the excessive speeds through this neighborhood are not unique because this
problem occurs throughout the entire City. The study also determined that those individuals that •
are traveling at excessive speeds actually reside in those neighborhoods. Mr. Word noted that
staff will develop, over the summer, a Speed Management Policy for the City that would outline
what streets would be considered to implement various types of devises to calm the traffic. Staff
will craft a policy that reaches some type of compromise which will include education, an
enforcement component and a physical component. The major thing that needs to be done is to
reach the citizens with the message that they need to slow down and to care about their
neighbors.
Mr. Word described the type of devises that are proposed to slow the traffic on Oakridge
Drive. In conclusion,Mr. Word said a public meeting will be held on June 20`b at 7:00 p.m. at the
Library to discuss staff's proposal for the Oakridge Drive area but it is not only for those •
residents,the public meeting is open to everyone.

meeting was set. He added that CAMPO has been,working all week on developing a position that
will be presented as their vote at the June 12" CAMPO meeting. That position is based on what
has been stated publicly and that is that they stand behind and support our Transportation Master
Plan as it represents the alignment for SH-130,which is the eastern alignment. They will
continue supporting that stand. There are two votes that will take place on the Plan. There is a
vote on the Plan itself and then another vote on the TIP,which is the funding mechanism that is
in the Plan to fund all the projects that are a part of the Plan. Mayor Stluka noted that a statement
is being prepared by staff that will reflect all the wishes'of the Council and a copy will be
provided to them once that statement has been completed.

8.B.2. Consider a report on the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning_Organization
•
(CAMPO)meeting of June 12, 2000. Staff Resource Person: Jim Nuse,Public Works Director.
Mayor Stluka said that he asked that this item be placed on the agenda to relay what
transpired at the June 12, 2000 CAMPO meeting and why the City's representative on the
CAMPO Board voted the way he did. Mayor Stluka noted that the vote reflected the will of the
majority of the Councilmembers.Mayor Stluka added that he contacted each of the
159.
JUNE 22,2000
Councilmembers prior to the CAMPO meeting and discussed the possible scenarios that could
occur at that meeting. Those scenarios were:
1. CAMPO's staff recommendation relating to SH-130 that SH-130 be placed in the
CAMPO's Transportation Plan as well as in the TIP (the funding mechanism)
with no designation of route.
2. A proposal from Travis County Commissioner Karen Sonleitner that proposed to
• put the SH-130 in the Plan with no designated route but in the TIP with only an
eastern route designation.
3. A compromise proposal from Austin City Councilmember Beverly Griffith that
placed SH-130 in the Plan with both routes but leave it out of the TIP for a
specified period of time with the intent that all of the interested parties take that
time to sit down with the State and,the Federal Government and try to negotiate a
solution on the particular route.
As a result of the discussions with Councilmembers, Mayor Stluka said that
Councilmember Gallahan was only in favor of placing SH-130 in the TIP with the eastern route
with no other alternatives or compromises and this was the only position that she could support.
Councilmember Hairston said that he felt pretty strongly about the eastern route as well but also
felt that if there was an alternative and if the compromise was offered then he could support the
compromise. Councilmember Pitt expressed her concern about the eastern route not being
considered up front but would be supportive of whatever position that would be best for the City
after all the debate took place.
Tom Word briefly outlined how and why CAMPO was formed and their two main
responsibilities which are:
CAMPO (Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization)
• Develop a Long Range Transportation Plan(CAMPO 2025 Plan)
Conceptually identifies needed projects for Planning purposes
• Transportation Improvement Program(TIP)
Three-year construction programming documents,which gives local
approval to construction projects and allows federal funds to be spent on
that project.
• Another organization that is also directly involved and their responsibilities is:
TTA(Texas Turnpike Authority)
• Is the State sponsor of the SH-130 Project, SH-45 Project, Loop 1 Project and all
other possible Toll Road Projects in the area.
• National Environmental Policy Act(NEPA)
Process document is the Environmental Impact Statement(EIS)
16- 0.
JUNE 22,2000
Determines the feasibility of a project,the design of a project, the
alignment of a project, the impacts of a project and how those impacts will
be mitigated.
Mr. Word noted that locally the process had to be compressed because the State had
asked that the TIP approval be conducted prior to the NEPA process which prompted the June
12"'vote. The State was in the process of acquiring funding for SH-130, SH-45,Loop 1 and 183- •
A through the Federal Loan Program for which submittals occur only once a year and the
deadline for this year's submittal of the application was July 5th. The application needs to
include projects that are approved for the TIP. The votes were taken at the June 120'CAMPO
meeting which resulted in approval of the Plan and to include SH-130 in the Plan with no
designated alignment. A second vote was also taken on the following options:
• Put SH-130 iri the TIP without an alignment
• Don't put SH-130 in the TIP.
The results of that vote was to place SH-130 in the TIP and to authorize the Executive
Committee of CAMPO to meet with the State and work to negotiate an appropriate alignment for
the project. Mr. Word added that CAMPO is on record supporting the eastern alignment through
Round Rock and the eastern alignment through Travis County.
Councilman Hairston noted that the Griffith compromise never reached the motion stage.
Councilman Nielson(who served as Mayor Stluka's proxy at the CAMPO meeting)
added that Councilman Hairston and Councilwoman Gallahan were also in attendance at the
CAMPO meeting and they were all hoping that something similar to the Griffith compromise
would come up but it didn't. He added that they felt the eastern alignment of SH-130 is very
important in our overall Transportation Plan and were concerned with taking any action which
would potentially kill the project all together.
Mr. Word and the Council discussed the steps that can be taken at the State and Federal
level prior to the final decision for the SH-130 alignment.
CITIZENS COMMUNICATIONS: •
John Gordon, 1007 Green Meadow, expressed his concern regarding the June 12'
CAMPO meeting and how Round Rock voted. He relayed his personal feelings as to how the
result of the vote will affect the SH-130 project and Round Rock.
PROCLAMATIONS:
7.A. Consider a proclamation proclaiming July as Parks and Recreation Month
JUNE 22, 2000 161
Mayor Stluka read the appropriate proclamation and presented it to Sharon Prete,Parks
and Recreation Director.
PRESENTATIONS:
8.A.1. Consider a presentation by the Chamber of Commerce Economic and
• Community Development Committee concerning Multi-Institutional Teaching Centers (M1TC).
Staff Resource Person: Joe Vining,Planning Director.
Mike Swayze, Chairman of the Education and Workforce Development Subcommittee,
gave a brief outline and recommendation concerning the Multi-Institutional Teaching Centers
:E
(MITC).
He noted that for many years,Round Rock business and community leaders have
considered the idea of creating a community college. In the mid-1980's, an effort to create a
Williamson County College was explored. Later, in 1995 and 1996, leaders studied the
feasibility of gaining State approval to create a Community College District for Round Rock and
also discussed the feasibility of establishing a comprehensive ACC campus.
In all these explorations, it's been clear that Round Rock needs all of the following:
• • a comprehensive offering of higher education courses for adults pursuing four-year or
graduate degrees (which only a four year college or university can provide);
• comprehensive workforce education and training programs, via two-year degrees and
certificates (which only a community college can provide);
• "access programs"of adult basic and developmental programs to help adults who
presently lack the education and skill levels necessary to enter the workforce (roles
delegated also to community colleges);
• strong partnerships between its ISD and higher education institutions to help students
transition from high school;
• higher education opportunities offered during the days, evening, and weekends rather
than primarily only in the evenings (as is presently the case).
Mr. Swayze added that it's time for Round Rock to make decisions about its higher
education and training needs, and to,develop strategic plans to„achieve those goals.
• Round Rock has the benefit of two strong institutions who can bring the diversity of
programs, services, and delivery formats to meet the needs of the growing population and
business sector: Southwest Texas State University(SWTSU) and Austin Community College
(ACC). The opportunity exists to combine efforts to address the long-term needs of each
institution and thereby strengthen the MITC, expand the workforce training needed in this
region, and make two-year college education more affordable to the residents.
162
JUNE 22,2000
The Education and Workforce Development Subcommittee recommended that the
Economic and Community Development Committee endorse the following goals:
1. Secure a permanent community College/MITC campus. This would allow day,
evening, and weekend classes of comprehensive community college programs and
services; as well as selected four-year and graduate programs. It would allow
expanded workforce programs and training currently not available in Round
Rock. � •
*Note: Total Project Cost: $24,844,920
2. Finance the proposal through annexation to Austin Community College. This will
provide the infrastructure necessary to financially support the college operations. '
It will also increase access to higher education and training by making lower in-
district tuition rates available to Round Rock citizens.
*Note: ACC welcomes local communities to pursue annexation. Only the ACC
Board of Trustees can make commitments regarding construction of facilities.
3. Support SWTSU's efforts to secure State facilities funding for MITC (currently
not allowed)in the next Legislative Session, to help offset construction costs of
the Community College/MITC Campus.
4. Pursue Round Rock City officials' and Central Texas legislative delegations'
support of these goals.
5. Pursue support of local businesses, and possible creation of a Foundation, to assist
in promoting these efforts, and providing financial assistance.
In conclusion, Mr. Swayze noted that the residents of Round Rock will decide through an
election whether to allow ACC to annex Round Rock so there can be a permanent facility in this
area.
8.A.2. Consider a presentation demonstrating the newly installed GIS Internet Map
Server application. Staff Resource Person: Joe Vining,Planning Director.
Mr. Vining said that a goal of the Strategic Plan is to provide better communications to
our citizens. This presentation will outline how City information can be accessed through the
Internet.
Aaron Norby, GIS Analyst, outlined the following:

• ESRI's ArcIMS 3.0 Internet Map Server •

regulates all alarm systems in the State, to educate those individuals who purchase an alarm and
to help locate the alarms within the City.
Kathy Brown, 1209 Dayton Drive, expressed her concern that she only heard three days
• ago about the proposed alarm ordinance and that she was against"funding another division of the
Police Department when they can't find her address now."Ms. Brown noted that her alarm was
included in the amenity package that came with her home. She asked that the Homeowners
Associations be contacted regarding the proposed ordinance.
Dan Brown, 1209 Dayton Drive,noted that a lot of homeowners purchase their homes
with the alarm already installed so education is very important. When the homeowner is asked by
170
JUNE 22,2000
the monitoring company who should they contact first when the alarm goes off,the homeowner
says 9-1-1 rather than a guard company first. If this is the case in many homes how is an actual
call for service versus a false alarm going to be regulated?Also,is a homeowner going to be
penalized for false alarms during bad weather?He noted he was in favor of enforcement on false
alarms but some details need to be worked out before the ordinance is approved. •
There being no further testimony, the public hearing was closed.

1. On street parking limits:
Restrictions on households parking their cars in the public right-of-way
bordering neighboring households without their permission.
Restrictions on storage of vehicles in the right-of-way. •

At least: ticketing of Boats,RV's and other large vehicles in driveways or
on the public right-of-way in violation of local deed restrictions.

JULY 13,2000
Bob Bennett asked Mr. Freed to meet with him and Joe Vining to further discuss his
concerns.
Marvin Denman, 1840 Red Rock Drive, expressed his concern regarding the current
procedures of the Subdivision Ordinance. Those are:
1. That lot sizes for subdivisions are granted waivers freely and not for extenuating
• circumstances.
2. There are no enforcement of the waivers especially in the areas where the
infrastructure is not adequate.
3. That the voluntary parkland dedication be mandatory and for the City to keep the
property for parkland rather than take the funds in exchange for the dedication of
parkland.
4. That there is no tree ordinance to protect trees in the areas.
5. That there is no provision for public input through the compete plat process.
Councilman Nielson noted that staff has been working on a new Subdivision Ordinance

18
JULY 13,2000
transportation cables. Fiber rings will be deployed down to neighborhood areas serving 30 to 60
homes.
The architecture uses high-capacity, diversely routed fiber with the ability to transport bi-
directional terabit volume. The connectivity to the homes will be achieved through a passive
coaxial pipeline serving small pockets of homes.
A true 10-megabit service will be provided to each customer,with the ability to increase •
capacity in the future. Ultimately, fiber-optic connections can be made available to each home or
business. Technology advances can be seamlessly integrated with minimal disruption to the
consumer and environment.
WIN's objective is to be a "Full-Service Provider."The Third Network will offer a
complete complement of video,voice and data services. With virtually no limits on capacity,

• 13.B.4. Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute contract amendment#1
with Payton Construction,Inc. for the Raw Water Pump Station Project. Staff Resource Person:
Jim Nuse Public Works Director.
An opportunity to accelerate the completion of new intake pumps at Lake Georgetown is
available. This improvement will increase the reliability of the water system to the customers
during a critical summer period.
The mission of the water system is to supply an adequate, reliable,high quality supply of
water to the customers. The current system is capable of accomplishing this goal, however, the
drought and the high temperatures have reduced the freeboard capacity. A major fire or
mechanical failure could stress the system.
• Although the water system can handle the current demand placed on it,this proposal will
increase the reliability during the high stress times of mid-August. There is an additional cost to
provide this"peace of mind"but it may prove critical in an emergency.
Staff recommended that the contractor accelerate the installation of an additional pump at
Lake Georgetown to have it operational by August 11, 2000. This improves the schedule by
about 3 weeks. The cost for this change is $105,500.
Mayor Stluka read the following resolution.
RESOLUTION NO.
WHEREAS, on January 27, 2000 the City Council adopted Resolution No.R-00-01-27-

WHEREAS, due to the recent very hot and dry weather, it is necessary to accelerate the

CITIZENS COMMUNICATIONS:
David Pruett, 1711 Amber Skyway Cove, said that he was glad to see everything coming
on-line from the Clay Madsen Recreation Center, to the Park Valley Plan, to cooperation with
the RRISD School Board, to the Master Transportation Plan. He also congratulated the Council
on the outcome of the SH-130 alignment.
John Gordon, 1007 Green Meadow, asked the Council to set a policy and guidelines
• regarding the information that is played on Channel 10. He expressed his concern that Channel
10 can be a"dangerous tool"on what is televised especially ethical issues and public access.
Councilwoman Gallahan asked Mr. Gordon to draft some suggestions or ideas regarding
his concerns that can be used as guidelines and to provide those to the Council prior to their work
session on August 16-17, 2000.
Randy Trevathan, 601 Cambridge, expressed his concern that stop signs have not be
placed on Gattis School Road prior to the closing of Fairlane so the residents can have an
alternate exit out of the Kensington Subdivision onto Gattis School Road.
Ruth Koughan, 211 Round Rock Avenue, encouraged the residents to visit the Clay
Madsen Recreation Center and see the type of activities that are offered. Ms. Koughan also
• encouraged the Council to adopt the Parks Master Plan.
Mayor Stluka said that he and members of the Council received e-mail or correspondence
from Fran McClanahan, James Bowen, Juana McClung,Bernice Cervantes, Santi, Rene
Bywater,Nancy Tolleson, and Ron and Claire Des Lauriers regarding the development of the
Meadowlake Ph1fiayiU.Stl"Wid,4 he and the Council acknowledge those concerns. He

AUGUST 10,2000
has spoken to the Parks and Recreation Director about that area and in spite of what the 1987
Parks Master Plan says there is some uniqueness to that park that needs to be addressed.
Diana Everett, 1353 Lakeside Loop, outlined the following regarding the Meadowlake
Park Development.
The citizen's of Round Rock living in the immediate area of Meadowlake (Settlement
HOA and Meadowlake HOA)want the following steps taken in regards to the development of
the Meadowlake Park:
• Discard the 1987 plans for Meadowlake Park and remove Round Rock's
application for a grant from the Texas Parks and Wildlife. The 1987 plans are
obsolete. These plans significantly rely on the acquisition of property joining FM
3406 and to the east of Meadowlake Park. Current property owners of these areas
have stated they will not sell or donate their land to the City. To implement these
plans without a current evaluation of the park's potential usage and an
environmental impact study would be reckless, insensitive, and imprudent.
• The Settlement HOA and Meadowlake HOA have met with the Round Rock
Parks and Recreation Department Director and Facility Planning Director and
expressed to them the desires of both communities. These are:
— Maintain the park as a natural preserve to encourage the
proliferation of wildlife and plants.
— Place"people-friendly"amenities, i.e.,restrooms, trashcans,park
benches,walking paths and playscapes for children.
— Provide environmentally appropriate landscaping and shaded areas.
— Build a boat dock for easier access to the lake.
— Provide limited parking facilities inside the park with gates to lock
at dusk.

public access (which the City has no control on the content), (E) education (used by schools or
for educational purposes), and (G) government (the City's Cable Channel falls under this
category). The long-range plan is to establish guidelines or policy regarding Channel 10.

23) Full Time Equivalent's—Increase for specific departments
Due to the City's growth, more staff will be needed. If there is a need, a department
should not hesitate to request additional staff.
24) Frontage Roads (i.e.,IH-35,FM3406 to FM1431)
Concern was expressed that the frontage roads are being used more due to the amount of
traffic on the Interstate and that can be a dangerous situation when vehicles are turning into
•
businesses. Staff has forwarded those concerns to TxDOT.

Staff was directed to investigate the pros and cons of a policy to hire local businesses.

some type of shuttle service is needed to go places like the Stadium or La Fontera. This will also •
help with air quality. Mayor Stluka noted that Don Hill of CARTS is considering expanding the
services that CARTS provides.
29) Blighted Neighborhoods in Round Rock
The creation of Neighborhood Associations should be encouraged to offer technical
expertise to help them along. This could be required as part of the Neighborhood Improvement
Plan.

RESOLUTIONS:
10.A.1. Consider a resolution naming Arterial`B"Deputy Grimes Boulevard. Resource
Persons: Councilman Palmer and Councilwoman Pitt.
Rufus Honeycutt, Executive Director,Frontier Days Corporation Board, on behalf of the
Board of Directors of the Frontier Days Corporation asked the Council to name Arterial`B"
"A.W. Grimes Boulevard." He added that last year, Frontier Days was permanently dedicated to
the memory of Deputy A.W. Grimes. This action is designed to draw attention to the role of law
• enforcement and law-abiding citizens. Mr. Honeycutt noted the following information regarding
Deputy Grimes.
"Deputy Grimes was an ordinary citizen of Texas, a family man with a wife and 3
children. Ahijah was born in Bastrop, Texas and learned the printing trade there. He married
Lottie Lyman, daughter of Judge Lyman of Lampasas.
288
AUGUST 24, 2000
In 1877 Ahijah joined the Texas Ranger Frontier Battalion. As was common with the
Rangers then men often served a short enlistment. Ahijah's service with the Rangers was about 4
months.
Ahijah moved to Round Rock with his family and began work at the bank. He was asked
by Sheriff Milt Tucker to see to law enforcement in Round Rock, hence his appointment as a •
Deputy Sheriff. His demise in 1878, at the age of 28, is well documented in the many books
about the Sam Bass shoot out. He has a place in history due to circumstance."
Mr. Honeycutt noted that highlighting Deputy Grimes' role in the history of Round Rock
will serve to draw attention to the real heroes of Round Rock and Texas. Deputy Grimes'
grandfather, Jesse Grimes,was a signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence. His Uncle
Albert Grimes perished at the Alamo. Also, in reading about Deputy Ahijah W. Grimes, citizens
of Round Rock, school children, tourists, and visitors to the Chisholm Trail will become more
aware of the role that ordinary citizens were placed in. Also, the extraordinary circumstances that
were played in making Round Rock a great place to live that it is today.
In conclusion, Mr. Honeycutt added that the Frontier Days Corporation would like to
have Round Rock known more •
e for having claw-abidmg history rather than being where Sam
Bass died. Deputy Grimes' tombstone in the Round Rock cemetery reads "Gone But Not
Forgotten."His grave has had far fewer visitors than the outlaws also buried there.
Mayor Stluka read the following resolution.
RESOLUTION NO.
WHEREAS, on July 19, 1878, Deputy A.W. Grimes became the first law enforcement
officer to lose his life in Round Rock in a shootout with the outlaw Sam Bass, and
WHEREAS, Deputy Grimes served his community with honor and distinction, ultimately
giving his life to stop a bank robbery, and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Round Rock wishes to commemorate Deputy
Grimes' service to the community by naming Arterial`B"A.W. P@puty Grimes Boulevard,Now
Therefore
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROUND ROCK, TEXAS,
The Arterial`B" shall hereafter be named A. W. y Grimes Boulevard in his honor.
