side of the campus for a road to be built.
• The City of Round Rock will construct the road with a focus on campus safety.
Road closings would be permissible with advance notice.

safety on FM 3406, such as reduced speed limits, turning lanes and other
measures that would improve safety.
The approximate costs of these improvements are$138,000. Implementing this project
will relieve a dangerous situation at Plantation Cove with a safer,more orderly traffic access to

Classification Plan that is internally equitable and externally competitive with business in our

- Internal=the relative internal hierarchy of jobs
Work to Date ;
• Review of Compensation Philosophy and update of market definition
• Market analysis and overlay of employees on the market
- Determination of overall market position
- Development of recommended new pay plan for Police Department
• Costing
• Communications strategy development
Compensation Philosophy—Findings
• Current philosophy statement still applicable
• Market definition needed to be refined based on the City's growth and changes in
the competitive marketplace
• • The City's pay plan for police officers needs to be modified

Issues in Police Department
• • The City has experienced difficulty in recruiting police officers.
- Starting salaries
- The predictability of tenure-based step-in-grade plans common in other cities,
agencies
• The City has a pay for performance orientation
• It is possible to combine pay for performance with a step-in-grade plan?
Proposed Solution
• Competitive pay plans for police which combine
- Pay for performance
- More predictability of salary growth
48
MARCH 22,2001
• Replacing traditional special skills pay with pay for specific skills important to the
City.
Demonstrated Spanish language skills
Physical fitness
Market Analysis Findings
• The City has done a good job of keeping up with market in the last two years.
- Reaction to marketplace on an as needed basis
- Pay for performance is working •
• A 2% structure adjustment is needed
• A few jobs need to be reclassified to higher grades based on the market
• The increase in pay levels for public safety continues to be a challenge.
Recommendations—Public Service
• Market increases are needed for some public service employees
- Most employees are paid within a competitive range
- Salary adjustments are need for employees in reclassified jobs
- Market adjustments needed for employees in other jobs where pay is not
competitive although the jobs do not require reclassification
Recommendations—Police Department
• A more aggressive increase is needed for sworn police,particularly at entry levels
- Average increases of 15.75%
- Implementation of performance-oriented and step-in-grade pay plan.
Fire Department Uncertainty
• Civil service on the ballot for May election •
• Three potential approaches to compensation
- Civil Service: As dictated
- Non-civil service: Continue using current market-based system and provide
market adjustments as needed by job
- Non-civil service: Implementation of performance-oriented and step-in-grade
pay plan(similar to police department)
Estimated Market Adjustment Impact
• $500,000 in salary adjustments for public safety employees
- $1,053K annual cost to implement new police structure plus up to $100K per
year for skills, such as bilingual
- Estimate of$600K- $700K—annual cost for fire department
Communications
• The City now has a strategy for communicating compensation issues to
employees
- Print media
- Training of supervisory personnel •
- Departmental meetings
- One-on-one meetings
Timing and Proposed Implementation
• March 22, 2001 —Watson Wyatt presentation to City Council

MARCH 22,2001
for the reimbursement of salary and benefits expenses for In School Officers. Paul Conner, Chief
of Police made the staff presentation. The Round Rock Police Department has, for the past
several years, stationed School Resource Officers (SROs) at secondary schools operated by
Round Rock Independent School District within the city limits of Round Rock. The SRO Team's
mission is to take proactive measures and respond to the changing dynamics of the educational
• environment and the needs of the Law Enforcement Community. This program reduces the
service call loads beat officers face and allows a proactive approach toward reducing crime
among potential juvenile offenders by providing traditional law enforcement, education, and
counseling in a school setting. In previous years, the City and RRISD have maintained an
agreement wherein the school district reimburses the City for all or a portion of the salary and
benefits of two officers. The interlocal agreement in question updates previous agreements. Under
its terms,the City provides SROs for each high school within the City that RRISD is willing to
fund. Currently, there are two SROs in place that would be affected by this agreement. The school
district pays 100% of the salary and benefits for one SRO and 75% of the salary and benefits for
the other. In addition,RRISD would reimburse the City for its costs to fully equip one SRO and
substantially equip another funded last year under the federal COPS program. Under this
•
agreement,the school district would pay the City$130,175 this fiscal year. The agreement is self-
renewing and would not require additional City Council action,unless this agreement formalizes
a prior practice. RRISD would pay the City for all or a portion of the salary/benefits of two
School Resource Officers, as well as equipment costs for two others. RRISD's total compensation
to the City would be$130,175 under this agreement.

RESOLUTIONS:
3.A. Consider a resolution approving the development of a memorandum of agreement
leading toward the formulation of an 03 Flex Plan for Central Texas. Bob Bennett, City Manager
made the staff presentation. The region is in violation of EPA's contested eight-hour ozone
standard and close to violating the one-hour standard. The 03 Flex Plan is an agreement between
the EPA and the TNRCC and the local areas. The local areas will commit to accelerated
implementation of air quality improvement measures that are selected by local areas. In exchange
for accelerated implementation of these measures, the local areas would not be designated as
non-attainment under the one-hour standard(even if a violation occurs for the term of the •
agreement) and the local area may be granted significant flexibility under the eight-hour
standard, if applicable. This resolution approves the development and coordination with local
governments, EPA and TNRCC, a memorandum of agreement leading towards the formulation
of an03 Flex Plan for Central Texas. The City would agree to implement voluntary pollution
control measures appropriate to its jurisdiction that would help to maintain the 1-hour National
Ambient Air Quality Standard for ozone within the Central Texas Area. The cost associated with
the 03 Flex Plan will be contingent upon the local and regional pollution reduction strategies
opted by the signatory governing body.
Mayor Stluka read the following resolution.
RESOLUTION NO. •
WHEREAS,,the local governments within the Metropolitan Statistical Area of Central
Texas, including the geographical counties of Bastrop, Caldwell, Hays, Travis and Williamson,
recognize that we are in near-violation of the 1-hour National Ambient Air Quality Standards
(NAAQS) for ozone, and
WHEREAS, the EPA, Region 6 has proposed a 03 Flex Plan option that would assist
local governments who are pro-actively seeking a means to remain in attainment with the
NAAQS, and
WHEREAS, such a Plan would achieve air quality and public health benefits by
voluntarily implementing early pollution control measures for ozone tailored to local conditions
before air quality standard violations occur or before Federal measures are mandated, and
8111"
APRIL 2,2001
WHEREAS, the 03 Flex Plan is a voluntary local approach to ozone attainment whose
purpose is to encourage early emission reductions that will keep the area in attainment of the 1-
hour standard, vehicle also starting to provide benefits envisioned under the 8-hour ozone
standard, and
WHEREAS, the 03 Flex Plan is implemented through an intergovernmental agreement
between EPA, the State of Texas and the local governments, and
WHEREAS, by developing and signing such an agreement the area would remain
designated attainment for the 1-hour ozone standard for a period of years as long as the
agreement is maintained, even if the violation of the 1-hour standard occurs, and
WHEREAS, it is the understanding of the signatory local governments that EPA will
allow all available options, incentives and other flexibilities pertaining to the 8-hour ozone
standard if it becomes applicable, and
WHEREAS, to the extent possible emission control measures voluntarily taken under an
03 Flex Plan would be creditable to any future requirements to comply with the 1-hour standard,
as well as the 8-hour standard,Now Therefore
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROUND ROCK, TEXAS,
That City of Round Rock intends to develop, in coordination with other local
governments, EPA and TNRCC, a memorandum of agreement leading toward the formulation of
an 03 Flex Plan for Central Texas.
The City Council hereby finds and declares that written notice of the date, hour,place and

The Round Rock City Council met in Work Session and Regular Session on Thursday,
April 12, 2001 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 Earl M. Hairston, Councilman Tom Nielson, Councilwoman Carrie Pitt, Councilman Earl
Palmer, Councilwoman Isabel Gallahan and Councilman Jimmy Joseph. Also present were City •
Manager Bob Bennett and City Attorney Steve Sheets.
WORK SESSION:
3.A.1. Consider a presentation on the status of improved automobile access to Old
Town Elementary. The Round Rock Independent School District has proposed an alternative
approach to resolving the problem of vehicle access to Old Town Elementary. The access under
the new Round Rock Independent School District proposal will be from Oak Hollow Boulevard.
Previously,the City committed to building a road on the west side of Old Town Elementary
School to help alleviate traffic problems. The proposed cost would be $133,000. This proposal
would greatly add to the safety of Old Town Elementary School in a number of ways.
Automobile drop off will be better organized, children will have more direct access to school, •
and traffic on Hwy 3406 will create less conflict.
3.B.1 Consider a presentation regarding the proposed issuance of Sales Tax Revenue
Bonds by the Round Rock Transportation System Development Corporation. The Corporation is
responsible for using revenue generated by %2% sales tax for transportation improvements. As
construction project costs outpace available revenue,borrowing funds to meet construction
timetables is required. To date, the Corporation has borrowed$16 million from the State
Infrastructure Bank. Sales Tax Revenue Bonds issued by the Corporation are repaid by sales
taxes collected. The costs are a function of bond issue size and complexity and market
conditions. Costs of issuance (bond rating costs, Attorney General fees,bond printing fees,
financial advisory fees, legal fees and fiscal agent fees, etc.) are expected to be less than 1% of
the bond issue and are paid from proceeds of the bonds. Borrowing funds enables construction •
projects authorized by the Transportation Capital Improvement Plan to be started earlier than if
paid for on a cash basis. The proposed borrowing is expected to be no more than$26 million but
is not firm at this time. The Corporation and the City Council will approve the final amount at
the time the bonds are sold.

this could result in cost savings for electric power. This item begins the City's journey towards
bidding electricity.
Clarence West of CCG Consulting, Inc. outlined the Summary of Findings for Phase I -
Preliminary Analysis Report concerning Aggregation of Municipal Electric Accounts for the
City of Round Rock. He gave an overview of the following:
• Findings
- Energy Use
- Energy Cost
- Billing Structure
- Competition •
• Conclusions and Recommendations
The City is well positioned to enter the retail electricity market. The City may take
several actions to control its costs, and make its overall load shape more attractive to retail
electric providers:
1. Investigate affiliation with other public agencies and buying groups to obtain
volume purchasing and portfolio load profile benefits.
2. Investigate load control and energy conservation measures to reduce seasonal
variations in loads originating in pumpage systems and buildings. Higher-
efficiency air-conditioning systems, for example,will reduce summer peak
demand.
3. Consider expanding existing water storage facilities to reduce the requirement for
supply pumpage during on-peak periods.
4. Consider purchasing lighting systems served on non-metered accounts.
5. Establish a tracking program to monitor trends in energy costs and control usage.
This may include the installation of meters on the most significant municipal accounts,
and the creation of a centralized administrative function.
PUBLIC HEARINGS:

Neighborhood Plan as an amendment to the 2000 General Plan. Dana Stidham,Neighborhood
Planner made the staff presentation. The Neighborhood Planning Program has become an

Youth BowlingTeam.eam. Mayor Stluka read the appropriate proclamation that was presented to

PRESENTATIONS:
• 8.A.1. Consider a presentation on the Economic Development Program Agreement
with Sears, Roebuck and Co. David Kautz made the staff presentation. Staff has been in
discussions with Sears,Roebuck and Co. regarding locating their telephone and Internet sales
to Round Rock. Round Rock would be the on-line sales site for the entire Sears product line
and the Great Indoors. Round Rock was in competition for this retailer with other cities in
Texas and California. On-line retailing of the Sears product line in Texas requires the
collection of state and local sales taxes on those sales. Consolidating the point-of-ordering for
sales in Texas to a Round Rock location enables the local sales tax to be collected by the City
of Round Rock. The proposed agreement provides for the City sharing with Sears a portion of
the sales tax collected as a result of Sears' locating its telephone and Internet sales in the City.
• The sales tax sharing arrangement is based upon sales transactions not yet located in Texas
and, as such, represent no current or future cost for the City. The location of Sears to Round
Rock fits well with the City's business recruitment and sales tax model. Mr. Kautz outlined the
following highlights of the agreement between the City and Sears,Roebuck and Co.
■ In consideration of statewide Sears' telephone and internet sales being
consolidated in Round Rock, the City will share a portion of the sales tax
collected on these sales
MAY 24,2001
■ Round Rock has a 2% local sales tax rate(the State has a 61/4%rate)
1% for General Revenue Share 60%with Sears, 10 yrs
Share 50%with Sears 20
yrs
%z% for Property Tax Reduction Not shared
%z% for Transportation Not shared
Improvements
2% Total •
■ The agreement is for a term of 30 years.
■ City may terminate the agreement in 2009 if the 1%revenue component is less
than$500,000 in the prior year.
■ If Sears relocates or expands to another city in Texas, and resulting sales are not
subject to Round Rock sales tax, Sears agrees to return the previously shared sales
tax.
In response to Councilman Nielson's question,Mr. Kautz said that this agreement would
not affect the ad valorem tax only the sales tax.
Susan Russell,Legal Counsel for Sears gave a brief overview of the Economic
Development Program and history of Sears telephone and Internet business.
8.B.1. Consider a presentation on land use assumptions recommended by the Impact Fee •
Advisory Committee for the northeast portion of the City of Round Rock as part of considering
the roadway impact fee ordinance. Joe Vining,Planning Director made the staff presentation.
The City is considering an impact fee ordinance for the construction of roadways in the northeast
portion of the City and its ETJ. Dunkin, Sefko &Associates and Parsons Transportation Group
were the consulting teams performing the study. Acting as the Impact Fee Advisory Committee,
the Planning and Zoning Commission provided recommendations on land use and capital
improvements.New land use assumptions for some tracts in the northeast portion of the City
reflect changing demands in the areas. A General Plan map amendment will be prepared to
reflect these changes.
Dan Sefko of Dunkin, Sefko &Associates outlined the Land Use Assumptions for •
Roadway Impact Fees report.
Elements of the Land Use Assumption Report
The report contains:
• Explanation of the general methodology used to prepare the land use assumptions;
• Impact Fee Service Zone Map—Dividing the area to be serviced into zones that
form the roadway impact fee service areas;
MAY 24,2001
• Base Year Data—Information on population, employment, and land use for the
study areas as of January 2001; and
• Population, land use and employment growth assumptions for the study area for
10 years (2011).
MethodoloQy
• These Land Use Assumptions and future growth projections take into consideration
several factors influencing development patterns, including:
• The character,type, density, and quantity of existing development,
• Existing zoning patterns,
• The Future Land Use Plan,
• Availability of land for future expansion,
• Current growth trends in the City
• Location and configuration of vacant land,
• Employment and population absorption rates, and
• Physical holding capacity of this area of the City.
• Traffic Survey Zones
Traffic Survey Zones currently exist for all areas within the City and the surrounding
area. The zones in the City vary in size from several hundred acres to several square miles. The
traffic survey zones are based on the areas used for transportation computer modeling by the City
and CAMPO. The traffic survey zones were originally formulated on the basis of homogeneity
and traffic generation potential using major arterials, census tract and other physical boundaries
for delineation. Since the data needed for calculation of roadway impact fees is required to be
complied by traffic survey zones, the land use assumptions are compiled by the same
transportation survey zones or subdivisions. Some of the transportation survey zones were
modified to coincide with the city limits or roadway impact fee service zones.
Summary
• There are four proposed impact fee service areas that comprise a total of
approximately 10,100 acres in the northeastern portion of the City.
• The City will experience a relatively rapid growth in this area as other areas of
Round Rock reach their ultimate capacity.
• An average rate of 900 units per year was used to calculate population growth
projections for the service areas.
• The four service areas are projected to have a population of slightly over 24, 000
people by the year 2011.
1-54
MAY 24, 2001
•
The number of people employed in the four service areas are projected to be over
10,000 by the year 2011.
• The ultimate population of the four service areas is almost 50,000 people.

Director made the staff presentation. Austin, Cedar Park,Round Rock, Brushy Creek, Fern Bluff
and Williamson County have been working on the development of a regional trail between Cedar
Park and Round Rock for approximately the last 3 years. A grant has already been awarded from
the Texas Parks and Wildlife and an application to TxDOT for a TEA-21 grant has been
submitted. The Trail will be along the Brushy Creek Basin from IH-35 to US 183. Trailheads
strategically placed will provide easy access on and off the trail and the trail will also be
constructed in such a way as to be easily accessed by emergency services and the police as
needed. When completed the Trail will be the major non-motorized transportation corridor in the
County. Development of the trail will expand opportunities for the greater Williamson County
community to use the trail for transportation, fitness and recreation. •

JUNE 14, 2001
Kautz, Finance Director made the staff presentation. Electric deregulation in Texas is currently
scheduled to occur on January 1, 2002. At that time the City will no longer deal with TXU as we
know it for electrical power. The City will purchase electricity from Retail Electric Providers
(REPs). Under the electric restructuring law passed during the 1999 Texas legislative session,
cities and other political subdivisions may create entities, called political subdivision
corporations, to aggregate (combine) electric loads and contract for the purchase of electric
•
power from REPs in the soon-to-be-deregulated retail electric market. Aggregation is a method
by which cities and other political subdivisions may work together to achieve maximum price
advantage by maximizing their aggregated electric load requirements. Participation in an
aggregation group enables the City to increase its options for achieving the best electric power
package. At this point, the City is not contracting for electric power but is participating in the
bid process with the aggregation group. Selection of a Retail Electric Provider (REP) will be
done later in the year(probably October). At that time, the City may stay with the aggregation
group and its REP or contract with an REP on its own. This resolution enables the City's
participation in a political subdivision corporation that will act as an agent to negotiate the
purchase of electricity for City facilities. The initial membership fee is $1,000; additional costs •
will be established by the Corporation Board and will be paid as annual dues or fees by members
of the corporation or in the cost of electricity.
Clarence West, Legal Advisor for the Corporation gave a brief outline of the duties of the
Corporation, benefits of becoming a member and status on the initial Board of Directors.

JUNE 14, 2001
PRESENTATIONS: This is the continuation of presentations not addressed during the
Work Session.
3.C.1. Consider a presentation regarding a proposed development agreement affecting
property in the proposed road impact fee study area. Joe Vining, Planning Director made the staff
presentation. A number of property owners wish to develop their property in the vicinity of CR
•
113 and CR122. These roads are not sufficient to handle the increased traffic that would be
generated by this development. The City is currently preparing the required impact fee study to
provide for developer contributions to assist in funding required road improvements. The
developers wish to proceed with their developments without delay and are prepared to enter into
an Annexation and Development Agreement to provide their proportionate share of cost in order
to avoid delays in the annexation of their property. This will ensure fair and equitable cost
sharing of arterial road cost while allowing annexations to proceed in a timely fashion. Mr.
Vining asked that the resolution on this agenda concerning the road impact fee be withdrawn due
to the recent legislation, SB 243 that Governor Perry signed regarding impact fees.
3.D.1. Consider a presentation regarding the use of public access defibrillators at the
Senior Center, Library, Recreation Center, and City Hall. Lynn Bizzell, Fire Chief made the staff •
presentation. The implementation of a public access defibrillation program is recommended
anywhere that there is a reasonable probability of one Automatic External Defibrillator AED
use in 5 years. It is also indicated that anytime it takes more than five minutes from the time an
individual calls 9-1-1 until help arrives and delivers the first shock to the victim. The likelihood
of one being resuscitated from a cardiac arrest is approximately 10%nationally. Public access
defibrillation allows for cardiac defibrillation to be made more publicly available in areas of
condensed population. Public access defibrillation, which places AED's in the hands of trained
laypersons, has the potential to be the greatest treatment of cardiac arrest since the development
of CPR. These programs have reported survival rates as high as 49%. The cost for a defibrillator
is $4,808 a building and includes the training of 6 individuals in those buildings. The •
defibrillator only lasts 5 years and would need to be replaced. Currently, a defibrillator is on all
the fire trucks.
3.D.2. Consider a presentation concerning the submittal of arg ant application to the
Federal Emergency Management Agency for financial assistance for additional thermal imaging
cameras for the Fire Department. Lynn Bizzell, Fire Chief made the staff presentation. The
JUNE 14, 2001
Round Rock Fire Department budgeted$30,000.00 for thermal imaging. The thermal imaging
camera allows firefighters to see during little to no visibility because of smoke. Smoke can slow
down a rescue to the point that the victims may not be reached in time. Thermal imager allow
p Y g
firefighters to virtually see in the dark. Over the past ten years Round Rock's population has
grown 97%to 66,495 and continues to experience growth. The response area has increased 44%
•
to 27 square miles. This growth has brought about many changes. The City has 43 apartment
complexes, fifteen hotels with a total of 1,528 units, additional 57 major industries, high rises,
and Dell Computer's main campus with 8 office complexes. The cost of this equipment is
$100,000.00. The Federal grant is for$70,000 and the remaining $30,000.00 is in the current FY
2000-2001 Fire Department budget.
PUBLIC HEARINGS:
13.A.1. Consider public testimony concerning granting a partial exemption from ad
valorem taxes for certain qualified historically significant properties located within the city limits
of Round Rock. Joe Vining,Planning Director made the staff presentation. On May 22, 2001,
the Historical Preservation Commission recommended approval of partial tax exemptions for 55
• historic properties. All applications met the criteria for preservation and maintenance according
to Section 11.419(7) of the City's Zoning Ordinance. The partial tax exemption program was
created in 1988. The program encourages owners of historic properties to use money saved on
taxes to provide regular maintenance and/or repair to their structures. The overall benefit to
Round Rock is the long-term preservation of the city's historic resources. Under the program,
property owners receive a 75% exemption on city property taxes. The program does not exempt
county or school district taxes. The City will forgo $29,070 in municipal property tax revenue
due to the partial tax exemption program.
Mayor Stluka opened the public hearing. There being no public testimony, the public
hearing was closed.

Interlocal Agreement with Williamson County for participation in a count ide firearm trainin •
facility pM ect. Paul Conner, Chief of Police made the staff presentation. Currently, Round Rock
police officers must perform firearm qualifications and training at various sites of varying
condition around Williamson County. Officers need an adequate site at which they can perform
these functions. Nearly two years ago, Chief Conner began broaching the idea with neighboring
jurisdictions of collaborating on a countywide firearm facility. This interlocal agreement is the
culmination of those nearly two years' worth of effort aimed at developing a countywide law
enforcement training facility for Williamson County peace officers. Williamson County and the
participating entity will share the costs of the construction of the firing range. The contribution of
the participating cities is based on the number of commissioned officers in each jurisdiction.
Under the terms of the agreement, Williamson County has the sole responsibility for operation, •
management, and maintenance of the facility, which is on 123 acres of county land they
contributed and is located in Hutto by the landfill. Round Rock's participation in this venture
would cost $141,000, which would be drawn from the City's Law Enforcement Fund for asset
forfeitures and not the General Fund. A committee would govern scheduling and further
development of the site with equal voting membership from each participating City. Once

firearm training and qualification for 50 years, subject to termination clauses.

PROCLAMATIONS: None
PRESENTATIONS:
JULY 12,2001
7.A.1. Consider a presentation to discuss the current City Curfew Ordinance and future
posed ordinance changes. Paul Conner, Chief of Police made the staff presentation. Texas
State Law requires cities that adopt curfews to review their curfew every three years and conduct
a public hearing to determine whether the curfew is having the desired effect. The Police
Department has reviewed the curfew, found that it is having the desired effect,but feels that
amendments to the curfew ordinance are in order. Ineneral the Police Department plans to seek
•
g P
an amendment to Chapter 1, Section 1.2700 of the City Code of Ordinances to add to a daytime
curfew period for the time period minors should be in school. The proposed amendment also
would more clearly define the term, "remain," as it pertains to the ordinance. A public hearing
would be conducted at the July 26" Council and amendments to the ordinance would be
considered at the August 9"' Council meeting.
7.B.1. Consider a presentation regarding a proposed independent review of the City's
health, dental and vision plan and other benefit programsy Watson Wyatt. Teresa Bledsoe,
Human Resources Director made the staff presentation. The City health, dental and vision benefit
program for its employees is currently structured as a Preferred Provider Organization(PPO). A
PPO contract with a network of doctors, hospitals and other health care providers who deliver •
services for negotiated discounted fees. The PPO offers more choice to the patient in that he or
she may visit any provider as needed in the contracted network. The City partially self-insures by
absorbing a certain amount of claims costs, directly hiring a claims administrator and re-insurer
to protect against catastrophic losses. The plan has worked well in providing quality care at
affordable costs to the City and its employees. However, over the past three years, extremely
high utilization of the plan has driven costs upward. Staff recommended that an independent
professional be engaged to review the plan in order to determine if the plan is providing the
quality benefits at a competitive cost. The study is to determine the appropriate steps toward
more effective plan design and cost management. The study will provide a written summary of
potential changes to the City's plan with an estimate of the cost impact of these changes. The •
cost of the review is between$25,000 to $30,000. The review will take six weeks to conduct.
The consulting agreement will be brought back to the Council's next meeting for consideration.
7.B.2. Consider a presentation regarding entering into a consulting service agreement
with Bettye Springer of Kar erKUBarnes & Springer to provide consulting services for the
implementation of Civil Service, Section 143 Texas Local Government Code Teresa Bledsoe,
JULY 12, 2001
Human Resources Director made the staff presentation. On May 5, the citizens of Round Rock
voted in favor of Civil Service for the Round Rock Fire Department. While Section 143 of the
Texas Local Government Code governs Civil Service, there is much work involved in writing
rules, guidelines, developing a communications strategy and implementing the changes that will
take effect as a result. Most critical is assisting the commission in developing rules, which
•
compile with the law and training commission staff and other relevant individuals. Staff
recommended that Bettye Springer of Karger Key Barnes & Springer provide consulting services
for the implementation of civil service. The service would cost from$15,000 to $20,000, which
will include training of staff.
In response to Councilmember Gallahan's question, Ms. Bledsoe responded that Ms.
Springer has the expertise regarding civil service and will set up the initial training. This is also
the first time that the City has had to address civil service.

ORDINANCES:
10.A.1. Consider an ordinance approving the general service rates to be charged forth
sale and transportation of natural gas to consumers in the City of Round Rock. (First Reading)
• David Kautz, Finance Director made the staff presentation. At the last meeting James
Blanton of TXU Gas made a presentation to the Council requesting consideration of a 6.68 %
rate increase for natural gas. The last gas rate change in Round Rock occurred in 1988. If Round
Rock accepts this rate proposal from TXU Gas and the"most favored nations clause" contained
within the proposal then we are assured of receiving the lowest rate of any city within our region
without incurring rate case costs or surcharges. Specifically, as the accompanying letter with the
rate proposal states, "If any other city in the South Region Distribution System negotiates a
settlement with TXU Gas Distribution that results in rates that are less than the proposed rates as
filed by the Company with that city, the Company will offer those same settlement terms."
Currently, 13 cities have suspended the rate challenge. The new rates will not be implemented
until after October 3, 2001. In addition, customers in our city will not be surcharged for any rate
• case expenses. There have been no changes since the first reading of the ordinance. Staff
pg
recommended approval of the ordinance.

Councilmember Gallahan's asked if A. W. Grimes Boulevard will be opened prior to the

Boulevard will begin as soon as the remainder of the right-of-way for this road is acquired.
Mr. Mitchell responded that they have no intentions of going through either Greenslopes
• or South Creek to access construction traffic. He added that no homes will be built nor will there
be the marketing of any homes until the A. W. Grimes Boulevard is open. A road will be
constructed but it will be a separate construction entrance apart from South Creek or
Greenslopes.
In response to Councilmember Pitt's question regarding drainage, Mr. Mitchell said that
the drainage study has been completed and the City is having a separate individual review it. The
2- 2. 8
JULY 12, 2001
concern was that the study showed that there was quite a bit of drainage in the area and the
review is to make sure there is that much drainage potential. Channel improvements are being
designed through the area based on the increased drainage.

have their construction plans done and approved.

Paul Conner, Chief of Police made the staff presentation. A change in Texas State Law
requires cities that adopt curfews to review their curfew every three years and conduct a public
hearing to determine whether the curfew is having the desired effect. The City has a curfew for
juveniles from midnight to 6 a.m. on Monday through Friday and from 1 a.m. to 6 a.m. on
Saturday and Sunday. The Police Department reviewed the curfew and found that it is having the
desired effect,but it feels the curfew ordinance should be slightly amended.
Chief Conner outlined the results from the review of the curfew ordinance. He also
outlined the following information.
Proposed Ordinance Amendment
The proposed ordinance amendment extends the existing curfew ordinance by:
• Adding a curfew from 9:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on weekdays when school is in session •
• More clearly defines what constitutes an offense under this ordinance
• Allow permission to be absent from school/in a public place from an authorized
school official (parent/guardian for home schoolers)
What Are The Complaints?
• Existing laws ought to be enforced
• Curtails rights of law-abiding citizens
• May be unconstitutional
• Doesn't address real needs of youths
242
JULY 26,2001
How Has It Worked Elsewhere?
• After 3 months,Dallas found:
- Juvenile victimization dropped 17.7%
- Juvenile arrests fell 14.6%
• Phoenix
- 1993-94 Juvenile arrests fell 10% compared with prior year
• North Little Rock, Ark., found that from 1991 to 1992:
- Violent crimes dropped by 12%
- Burglaries were down 10%
This information was acquired from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice.
The Council discussed several aspects of the proposed amendments. The Council posed
questions to Officer Larry Hayes who is one of the school officers regarding students that skip
school and how those situations are handled. He also noted that new students are notified of the
current curfew regulations of the City during their orientation.
Mayor Pro-tem Nielson expressed his concern that under the proposed amendment to the
ordinance a parent will not be allowed to let their child not attend a day of school for whatever
reason without being sited.
Mayor Stluka opened the public hearing.
Tom Gaul, Round Rock Independent School District Superintendent on behalf of the
• School District administration expressed his support of the ordinance amendment.
Gisele Schaefer noted that she was in favor of the curfew regulations but was concerned
and asked if approved that the area business be provided with some type of poster that outlines
the curfew regulations to protect the business owner.
There being no additional testimony, the public hearing was closed.

application to the U.S. Department of Justice for the COPS in Schools 2001 Program to hire two
School Resource Officers. Paul Conner, Chief of Police made the staff presentation. This grant
proposal would fund over a four-year period$250,000 of the salary and benefits of two School
Resource Officers to serve seconds schools within the city limits of Round Rock. These
secondary ty
officers serve a variety of functions ranging from developing a campus safety plan and
documenting and responding to gang-related activity, as well as teaching students about peer
pressure, handling crisis, conflict mediation, and other topics. Because the grant funds only
salary and benefits, the program requires $69,090 in city funds be budgeted in the 2001-02 fiscal
year. The total City cost would be$94,224 over the four-year term of the grant. If the grant is not

CONSIDER WORK SESSION TOPICS LISTED BELOW:
Mayor Stluka said that the topics of discussion are targeted toward the "big picture".
They will be used to develop the philosophy direction of the future, which needs to be addressed
at the present time.
A. Consider discussion of the Budget, Tax Rate, Strategic Plan and Bond Election:
1) Consider recommendation of the G. O. Bond Task Force and formulation of a
proposed election for bond authorization. Joe Vining explained how the list of projects was
created that the Bond Task Force used to make their recommendation. He also outlined the
process that was conducted to rank the projects. Mr. Vining outlined the projects that would be
considered for the bond authorization. He noted that the last day to call the election for the G. O.
Bond authorization is September 13, 2001.
David Kautz noted that the bond project list contains the General Capital Improvements
Program(CIP). He outlined the financial aspects of the proposed bonds and the principal and
interest payment. He added that depending on the issuance of the bonds, the rate for the bonds
couldl go into effect in 2006. The cost of the bonds will be spread out over a period of 6 years.
Mr. Kautz noted that there are no Transportation projects in the bond proposal but the list does
contain road projects in case the Transportation Corporation is not able to cover the cost of the
projects. Mr. Kautz added that the language for the propositions has not been completed. Carol
Polumbo of McCall, Parkhurst&Horton, the City's bond counsel will help staff style the ballot
language. •
Bob Bennett pointed out that the complete list of projects is approximately $156 million
and currently we are not able to do all of them on this bond authorization. The projects that are
not on the bond proposal will be handled through other means like CIP.
Mayor Stluka asked the Council to review the projects thoroughly and determine what
they would like to go to the voters but this needs to be decided very quickly due to the time
constraints.

• #57 Ledbetter- $276,000
• #40 Bowman- $1,500,000
The final figure for the bond authorization is approximately$83 million.
2) Consider impact on the tax rate of the proposed 2001-2002 operating budget and
proposed bond election. David Kautz outlined the City's Annual Operating Budget, which
includes the General Fund,Debt Service Fund and Water/Wastewater Utility Fund. He noted that
the financial and operating plans are:

• = Financial condition is strong
Funding for operations are solid

273:
AUGUST 9, 2001
their developments without delay and are prepared to enter into an Annexation and Development
Agreement to provide their proportionate share of cost in order to avoid delays in the annexation
and zoning of their property. This will ensure fair and equitable cost sharing of arterial road cost
while allowing annexations to proceed in a timely fashion. The City will be compensated for
each developers proportionate share of road improvements.

explained how property in the flood plain would be addressed. He added that the fees would be
assessed only on useable acreage. Mr. Vining added that when this ordinance was brought before
the Council on June 28, 2001, the first reading was approved. Since that time the ordinance was
amended and staff felt it was appropriate to have another first reading of the ordinance. Also,

Ordinances, to amend and expand the curfew ordinance. (First Reading)
2 .7
AUGUST 9,2001
Paul Conner, Chief of Police made the staff presentation. A change in Texas State law
requires cities that adopt curfews to review their curfew every three years and conduct a public
hearing to determine whether the curfew is having the desired effect. The Police Department has
reviewed the curfew and presented its findings during a public hearing at the July 26"' Council
meeting. The Department finds the current youth curfew is having the desired effect but feels the
•
curfew ordinance should be expanded. The first change would establish a daytime curfew to
address the problem of children not being in school during school hours. The second change
more clearly defines what it means for a youth to "remain"in an area—linger or stay; or fail to
leave premises when requested to do so by a police officer or the owner, operator, or other person
in control of the premises. This change in the ordinance will provide the Police Department with
another tool with which it may address the problems of youths not being in school during school
hours.
Officer Scott Dunnam explained why he is in favor of the curfew ordinance amendment.
Gordon Perez, Senior Class Principal of Round Rock High School expressed his support
of the ordinance. He also noted that students are provided with a picture identification card. If the
• student needs to be off campus due to work obligations or a co-op program the student is
provided with supplemental identification.
George Willie, Principal of Stoney Point High School expressed his support of the
ordinance.
Councilmember Pitt expressed her concern regarding the"insufficient control"phrase in
Section 1.2702, (2).
Mayor Pro-tem Nielson relayed his concern that a parent can be made subject to violation
of the curfew ordinance and a school official can give permission to a student to leave campus
but a parent can't. He said that he would like to see Section 1.2702(2) deleted and to add to
Section 1.2070(3) the phrase"parent or.guardian."
• Councilmember McGraw said the profiling law goes into effect on September 1"and
asked if it will be required to have a detailed report of every person stopped. Chief Conner
responded that it will or the stopped can be taped. This tape will need to be kept for 90 days. He
added that a report needs to be made on a yearly basis regarding the curfew ordinance, which
included the number of stops that were made.

AUGUST 9, 2001
Councilmember Pitt asked where a parent could go to if they have a concern regarding a
