WORK SESSION:
3.A.1. Consider a presentation regarding the following sections of the draft Zoning
Ordinance: 1.100 General Provisions; 11.200 Development Review Bodies; 11.300 Development
Review Procedures; and 11.400 Zoning Districts. Jim Stendebach, Assistant Planning Director
made the staff presentation. The last wholesale revision of the zoning ordinance occurred in the
mid-1980's; numerous amendments have been made since that time. The format and graphics of
the existing ordinance are outdated and need to be revised. With the adoption of the General Plan
2000, the City saw the need to update the zoning ordinance given the community's desire to
encourage better quality development, design and landscaping throughout the City. The revised
zoning ordinance will improve development standards and landscaping requirements. There will
be a projected decrease in the number of fixture Planned Unit Development projects due to
improved development standards. The improved development standards and landscaping
requirements will enhance the physical attributes of the City of Round Rock, thus making it a
more attractive environment to live and work.

ordinance:

l l.B.1. Consider an ordinance amendiniz Sections 10.201 and 10.202 of the Round Rock
Code of Ordinances regarding water and sewer rates for users located outside of the city limits.
• (First Reading) Bob Bennett, City Manager made the staff presentation. During the mid-1980's
Palm Valley Lutheran Church and the City worked collaboratively made to secure portions of Old
Settlers Park. The City agreed through a"gentleman's agreement"to allow the Church to be served
with City water at the in-city rate. At that time Palm Valley Lutheran Church was on the outskirts of
Round Rock and the City did not require annexation. The Church now wishes to expand its facilities
and desires to continue to pay the in-city rate without being annexed. In order to continue service at
the in-city rate the Council should adopt a new policy as reflected in the proposed ordinance
amendment. If adopted a contract between the Church and the City will be brought back at the next
meeting. In that agreement the Church has agreed to voluntarily annex into the City of Round Rock
in January 2003. Currently, the Council does not have that flexibility in terms of the existing policy
and the City can't allow the church to continue receiving illegal service. This ordinance will
• formalize the current situation. This ordinance will also allow the Council to accommodate the new
County Park that's being built collaboratively between the cities in southwestern Williamson
County. This amendment will allow the City to sell water to the County at an in-city rate if they
choose. The proposed amendment requires two separate readings due to having a fee structure.
Councilmember Gallahan expressed her concern that the existing ordinance was being
changed to accommodate one specific customer,which may create problems in future requests by
other individuals. She asked that instead of changing the ordinance couldn't the City just enter into
an agreement with the church for water service at the in-city rate until annexed. She pointed out that
she was not against the church receiving the in-city water rate.
Mr. Sheets responded that a contract with the church would be a violation of the current
ordinance.
Rick A tins, representative of the Church stated that the gentleman's agreement was not
made only because the Church requested it but rather it was made as a part of the negotiations of the
City acquiring a portion of the Church property for parkland.
Other members of the Council agreed that when the situation was discovered the proper
thing to do was correct it and to keep the "gentleman's agreement."

• Requirements for screening detention ponds, trash receptacle areas, and ground
mounted equipment.
•
• New standards for landscaping in parking areas.
Mr. Vining briefly outlined the new standards for landscaping. He concluded that this
would result in improved development standards, improved landscaping, and a projected
decrease in the number of future Planned Unit Developments.
In response to Mayor Pro-tem Nielson's question,Mr. Vining said that the landscape
architects are very comfortable with the new landscaping standards because it minimizes the
formula aspect.
Councilmember Pitt expressed her concern of Section(4) Compatibility(b) Screening(ii)

confusing to some individuals and asked staff to look at it again and if possible make it a little
• clearer.

that there will be no local control, if the funds will be staying in the area and if there will be other
entity representation.
3.13.2. Consider a presentation regarding the Drought Management Contingency Plan.
Jim Nuse,Public Works Director made the staff presentation. The TNRCC requires that
community water systems providing water service to 3,300 or more connections submit a drought

contingency plan to the Executive Director of the TNRCC. Mr. Nuse outlined the Drought
Management Contingency Plan and explained the different stages of water supply and demand.
They are as follows:
• Stage I—voluntary 5-day water plan
• Stage II—mandatory water use on designated days only(exception, handheld
watering).
• Stage III—designated day and hour use. The last time it reached Stage III was 18
years ago.
Updates or revisions to the plan must be submitted to the Executive Director within 90
days of adoption by the City Council. This updated plan complies with the TNRCC
requirements and will result in long term conservation of water resource. •

public hearing on Community Needs. The first hearing was held with the interagency network of
public services providers. The second hearing was held at the Senior Activity Center. The third
hearing was held at the Round Rock Chamber of Commerce and the fourth hearing was held by
the Community Development Advisory Commission. In addition to these public hearings, a
Community Needs Survey has been mailed out to all the citizens in Round Rock who receive a
water bill. This is the third year this survey has been used to identify community needs. The
information collected is used to develop programs and activities funded by Community
Development Block Grant money. The survey was also distributed to apartment projects, the
• health clinic, other places of business and apartment developments in Round Rock.
Staff will recommend funding allocations to the City Council and the completion of the
survey. Ms. Ryan noted that possible areas to be funded include economic and community
development, anti-crime programs, infrastructure,public services and facilities, elderly and youth
programs. All programs directly benefit low and moderate-income persons and families.

APPROVAL OF COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES:
*1 LA. Consider approval of the minutes of the Regular Session of January 24 2002•
Special Called Work Session February 8, 2002; Special Called Session March 5, 2002. This item
was approved under the consent agenda.
• ORDINANCES:
12.A.1. Consider an ordinance amending Sections 10.201 and 10.202 of the Round
Rock Code of Ordinances regarding water and sewer rates for users located outside of the city
limits. (Second Reading). Bob Bennett, City Manager explained that during the mid-1980's the
City made a verbal agreement with Palm Valley Lutheran Church that involved parkland and
City water. The Church helped the City with obtaining Old Settlers Park and the Church claims
that the City agreed to sell water to the Church at the in-city rate. There are notes that suggest
otherwise,but we are relying on what the Church has to say and what former Mayor Larry Tonn
remembers. Currently, the Church wants to expand and remain outside the City and pay the in-
city water rate they have been paying. The Church is willing to be annexed in January 2003. In
• order to accommodate the Church the City must change the current ordinance thus allowing the
Council to charge an in-city rate for an out-of-city customer. The amendment would also allow
for a formal agreement with an out-of-city user who is requesting water from the City.
The Council discussed the gentleman's agreement that was made by a prior Council,
former City Manager and former City Attorney. They discussed how and why that this
amendment would correct the verbal agreement and would prevent this from happening again.
Also, that the City should keep their word on the verbal agreement that was made years ago since
the Church is willing to be annexed in January 2003.
Councilmember Gallahan said that she did not doubt that there was a"gentleman's
agreement"with the Church for them to pay in-city water rates but her concern was that when
this was discovered why the Church was not made to comply with the current ordinance. She
•
also expressed her concern that the Council would not be seen as being a consistent and equable
Council regarding water rates for out-of-city users.

MARCH 14, 2002
IH-35 to CR 175 (Sam Bass Road). (First Reading). Tom Word, Chief Transportation Engineer
made the staff presentation. The Texas Department of Transportation conducted speed studies on
FM 3406 during 2001. Based on the information gathered, TxDOT is lowering the existing 55-
mph speed limit to 50-mph. A reduction of the speed limit to 50-mph will promote a safer
environment for traffic entering FM 3406 from side streets and for traffic entering and exiting

made the staff presentation. The Texas Department of Transportation conducted speed studies on
FM 3406 during 2001. Based on the information gathered, TxDOT will reduce to speed zone to
a school speed zone of 35-mph (when flashing). The addition of a school speed zone will
promote a safer environment for traffic entering FM 3406 from side streets and for traffic

entering and exiting Old Town Elementary. Since this portion of the road falls within the ETJ of

will be no changes to the current depository fee schedule, which is $3,000 a month. The
extension date is through April 30, 2002.

updates of the SH 45 - La Frontera area. Joe Vining, Planning Director gave the staff
presentation. In 2001, the City and CAPCO entered into an interlocal agreement to have an aerial

communities and, in so doing, have established for themselves an enviable and enduring
reputation for preserving the rights and security of all citizens; and further call upon all citizens
to observe Wednesday, May 15, as
"PEACE OFFICERS' MEMORIAL DAY"
in the City of Round Rock in honor of those law enforcement officers who, through their •
courageous deeds,have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their community or have
become disabled in the performance of duty, and let us recognize and pay respect to the survivors
of our fallen heroes,
PROCLAIMED this 9th day of May 2002.
PRESENTATIONS:
11.A.1. Consider a presentation by Jeff Montgomery of Jeff Montgomery and
Associates on the biennial survey. Will Hampton, Communications Director made the staff
presentation. The City conducts a customer survey every two years. The purpose of the poll is to
survey attitudes and opinions about city services and quality of life issues. This survey was
conducted March 25 to April 3, 2002, and 401 Round Rock residents were tested. The margin of
error was±4.9%. The survey gives a snapshot of public opinion about a wide variety of issues,
from the direction the City is headingto how we're doing taking care of weed lots. The
g g Y
statistical) valid survey gives an objective review of the success or failure of Ci services. The
Y Y g J City •
results are used to help direct resources and for planning purposes.
Jeff Montgomery of Montgomery&Associates offered highlights of the survey.
The following Key Findings are from the survey.
• This year, people are even more likely(by about 7 points)than they were in 2000 and
1998 to believe that the City is going in the right directions, and that the quality of life
is getting better. Slightly more people also say this year that the quality of life is
improving in Round Rock. Given the slowdown in the local economy.
c
1 2 7
MAY 9,2002
• As in 1998 and 2000, city services in general scored high. Trash collection maintained
its standing in first place, and the police department jumped seven points to take
second. When it comes to street maintenance the numbers are not nearly as good.
Nevertheless, even the positive rating for street maintenance improved this year by
about eight points. On traffic and transportation planning, the positive numbers
remain very low—but this year the"average"rating was up and the actual negative
rating somewhat down. This is important,because it means that the city has stopped
the increase in negative feelings about transportation planning.
• • When the respondents were asked if they felt safe walking alone in the neighborhood
at night,the numbers were mostly very positive, as in 1998 and 2000. 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 once again said, "traffic,"but by a less overwhelming margin than two
years ago. In 2000, traffic was up 20 points from its first-place spot in 1998. This
year, the numbers are back down to 1998 levels. Although traffic remains a strong
first-place concern,progress is clearly being made.
• The second biggest issue, this year as in past years,was managing Round Rock's
growth.
• 43%rate traffic in their neighborhoods positively. While that is not an impressive
number, it is distinctly better than the only 12%who rate traffic on state roads
positively.
• 41.7 % gave the city a positive rating on managing traffic,while 56.7%gave the city a
negative rating. These numbers aren't great by any means; but they show an enormous
• improvement over 2000,when, in the same question, 24.5% gave the city a positive
rating on managing traffic and an astonishing 75% gave a negative rating. In a
separate question, 49.6% said that the city's efforts to manage traffic are getting
better. That suggests that the city is making real and substantial progress in managing
traffic, and that citizens are taking note.
• When asked about traffic in Round Rock compared to two years ago.,9.2% said it was
getting better; 70.1% said it was getting worse. These are very worrisome numbers.
• One potential area of trouble is in the city's enforcing upkeep of private and state-
owned right-of-ways. Possibly because the question was made more specific this year,
the city's negative rating was 48.4% almost 16 points higher than in 2000.
• Local TV news retains its dominance here as a course for city news. Utility bill
enclosures,however, have shown a substantial increase in usefulness here, over two
points more than 1998 or 2000. The drop that was seen last year for"friends" as a
source of city news has held steady. However,newspapers continue their steady
decline.
• Satisfaction with the job the city is doing of"keeping you informed of city programs
and services"has improved since 2000—the city's positive rating has jumped 13
• points.
The following is from the Conclusion of the survey
• The survey shows progress on almost every front: the people of Round Rock are
seeing real progress in difficult areas, and that is reflected in their attitudes.
• As in previous years, respondents strongly approve of the way things are going in
Round Rock.
• They still feel safe in their neighborhoods, and they have good feelings about most
city services—on the whole even better than in previous years.
MAY 9, 2002
• Marked improvement was seen in residents' evaluation of their overall quality of life,
which they see as improving. That is impressive indeed in the midst of a serious
slowdown in the local economy.
• Even the particularly difficult problem of traffic seems to be improving to some
extent, with the extreme dissatisfaction shown in 2000 improving to the more
moderate dissatisfaction that was seen in 1998.
• An increase was seen of over 13 points in the city's positive rating when it comes to
keeping residents informed of city programs and services and a ten-point increase in •
the positive rating of the city's willingness to listen to and respond to the needs of
citizens. Better communication in both directions is probably a big part of the higher
satisfaction ratings that was seen throughout this survey.
PUBLIC HEARINGS:
12.A.1. Consider public testimony regarding the adoption of the revised Zoning
Ordinance. Joe Vining, Planning Director made the staff presentation. The following is from the
memo that Mr. Vining provided to the Council which addressed the two issues that were raised at
the April 25th meeting concerning development standards in the General Commercial (C-1)
District. The first issue concerned exterior wall standards in C-1. The revised ordinance contains
a number of wall finish options: "The exterior finish of all buildings shall be masonry, except for
doors, windows and trim. Masonry shall mean stone, simulated stone, brick, stucco, horizontally
installed cement based siding, decorative concrete masonry unit (CMU), standard Exterior •
Insulation and Finish Systems (EI FS) for exterior finish above eight feet, abuse resistant EIFS for
exterior finish below eight feet. The use of materials such as wood shingles or wood siding shall
be limited to accent features." (page 87, 4 (a) (ii)) Horizontally installed cement based siding is a
wood substitute that is durable and relatively maintenance free. Metal or tilt wall finishes have
not been included because, in majority of cases, C-1 properties front highly visible corridors such
as arterial roadways and highway frontage.
The second issue concerned the 25-foot sides and rear setbacks in the C-1 district. In the
existing ordinance both setbacks are zero feet. This existing setback is somewhat misleading
because, in practice, the Fire Marshall during the site plan review process requires a fire access
lane. Staff is proposing a 25-foot setback in the new ordinance to give applicants a level of •
predictability during the site plan review process. The proposed 25-foot setback is not a
substantial departure from what is currently required today. In cases where buildings share a
common wall along a property line, a side or rear setback is not required.
Mayor Stluka opened the public hearing.
12 `a
MAY 9, 2002
O'Barr Rost, 103 E. Main St.,provided the Council with a letter that outlined his
concerns regarding all masonry buildings in District C-1 and the 25 foot setback on the side of
Districts C-1, C-2 and I-1 lots. Mr. Rost's letter included compromises for his two concerns.
Gary Nelson, address unknown, expressed his concern regarding the requirement of all
masonry on buildings and how this would hamper architectural abilities.
• There being no frther testimony, the public hearing was closed.

by one motion. There was no separate discussion on any of these items. Item 14A was

MOTION: Councilmember Pitt moved to adopt the ordinance. Councilmember Coe
seconded the motion.
This motion was not voted on.
The Council and Planning Director discussed the masonry issue and metal buildings. The
Planning Director noted that for metal buildings the ordinance has a provision for a variance that
gives flexibility to the design.
Councilmember Pitt pointed out that the group who worked on the new zoning ordinance
wanted to raise the quality standards for the community and to keep up the appearance of the
community. She added that commercial buildings are the most visible aspects of the community
and metal buildings are not sustainable in the long term.
Councilmember Coe noted that the ordinance has a variance provision for special
circumstances if a metal building is involved.
Councilmember McGraw brought up an option concerning masonry on all sides of the
buildings in the C-1 district. He said that masonry could be required only if the side of the
building faces a public street or a proposed public street. The City Attorney noted that since the
1�;3
MAY 9, 2002
Zoning Ordinance is a legal document the language would need to be specific and not general so
a"proposed street"would need to be defined. Councilmember McGraw suggested that the
proposed street could be defined as "a public street on a filed plat or preliminary plat filed with
the City." The Planning Director and City Attorney raised other concerns regarding the
definition of a proposed street and further review was needed.

authorizes the Planning and Zoning Commission to act as the advisory committee if the
commission includes at least one representative of the real estate, development, or building
industry who is not a city employee or official. The current Planning and Zoning Commission

representative from that area. The current water and wastewater impact fees are being reviewed
in light of changes in legislation.

• Knight, and Councilmember Isabel Gallahan. Councilmember Gary Coe was absent. Also
present were City Manager Bob Bennett and City Attorney Steve Sheets.
WORK SESSION:
3.A.1. Consider a presentation regarding the status of the City's water system and leak
detection and repair program. Tom Clark,Utility Director gave an update on the water service
outage on June 6th. He added that a contractor who had not followed the"before you dig"
process cut a 12"water main near FM3406 and I11-35. Approximately 1,000 homes and 12
businesses were affected. Water service was out for approximately 3 hours. Due to the size of the
affected area and because disinfecting could not be done quickly enough to ensure the public, a
health notice to boil water was issued. State law requires that if water system pressure drops
below 20PSI this notice must be issued. The notices were hand delivered and taped on front
•
doors. Twenty-eight samples were taken to ensure no contamination before the all-clear notice
was given. Staff is investigating ways to improve notification procedures.
Mr. Clark proceeded with a presentation on the status of the water system for the next
two summers as well as the status of Lake Georgetown and the Stillhouse Hollow line. Mr. Clark
outlined the following information regarding the City's wells and storage.
• 19 storage tanks with capacity of 18.25 million gallons
• 5 wells with capacity of 4.5 to 8.5 MGD
• Surface water treatment plant capacity 30 MGD
• Between the 5 wells and the treatment plan, can safely deliver 36 MGD
• Current average flow: 22,350,000
• The peak usage of 29,484,000 gallons occurred July 17, 2000.
3.A.2. Consider a presentation on the Overall Sidewalk Plan for the City of Round
Rock. Ruth Haberman, Chief Design Technician gave the staff presentation. The Public Works
• Department has been working on an inventory of existing sidewalks in the City and has prepared
a preliminary layout of areas in which to use the G.O. Bond funds designated for sidewalks that
was approved by voters last November. This preliminary layout proposes sidewalk installation
along one side of numerous streets throughout the City where there is a need due to traffic on the
respective street; to improve walking routes to schools and parks; and to provide more
continuous pedestrian routes by filling in existing gaps. As part of the process, the Parks and
JUNE 13, 2002
Recreation Department and Planning Department were included in the discussion of the known
needs.Neighborhood Plans were incorporated into the layout as much as possible and when the
need was apparent connections were made to existing trails. The Overall City Sidewalk Plan
provides a representation of how much will be able to be accomplished with the G. O. Bond
funds and the limitations regarding needed sidewalks. The Plan also includes a map that can be
viewed and altered if necessary in planning and phasing the spending of the bond funds that have •
been allocated to sidewalks. According to the cost estimates, there are more sidewalks,which are
needed than there are funds to pay for them. This plan is not final and will need to be adjusted.
The areas where Community Development Block Grants can cover the costs still need to be
verified and prioritizing and phasing have not been addressed. Ms. Haberman proceeded by
providing an overview of the layout that showed staff s recommendation for the areas that could
be accomplished with the funds available and for the locations of new sidewalks. The current
cost of the Sidewalk Project will be$1,000,000 from General Obligation Bonds and Community
Development Block Grants.
3.A.3. Consider a presentation regarding the status of the City's process for determining
the qualifications of engineering and architectural firms for the 2001 General Obligation Bond •
Protects and the Round Rock Transportation System Development Corporation road projects.
Rick Atkins, Assistant Parks and Recreation Director made the staff presentation. The teams

• several senior centers around the state participated in the first Senior Spelling Bee. The Daily
Points of Light Award is given by The Points of Light Foundation and the Volunteer Center
National Network, in partnership with the Knights of Columbus and the Corporation for National
Service. It is designed to honor individuals and organizations who have made a commitment to
connect Americans through service to help meet critical need in their communities and in the
nation, especially those focused on the goals for children and youth set by the President's

opportunities; providing public services assistance; and delivering needed services. In

ORDINANCES:
13.A.1. Consider an ordinance amending Chapter 7, Personnel, of the Round Rock Code
of Ordinances by adding Section 7.500,Police Department Disciplinary Procedure. (First
Reading) Paul Conner, Chief of Police made the staff presentation. This ordinance establishes a
comprehensive process to address disciplinary action in addition to establishing a fair and
• impartial system to review the resulting disciplinary action. No city policy currently addresses
these issues as they relate to Police Officers of the Round Rock Police Department. This policy
has been in development for more than two years and is supported by city staff, as well as many
officers of the Round Rock Police Department. Chief Conner described the system established
by the proposed ordinance in a presentation to City Council on May 23. There is no immediate
cost to the City. However, in the event an appeal reaches a Hearing Officer level, the city is
responsible for half the cost of the Hearing Officer's fee. This ordinance and resulting policy
requires the Police Chief and City to document and justify disciplinary action that is to be taken
against police officers of the Round Rock Police Department. This system also establishes an
appeal process, which extends outside the authority of the City Manager,who acts as the final
• arbitrator in all other cases of disciplinary action taken against city employees.

created in 1989 to serve Council in an advisory capacity, as its liaison to the community. This
board served a valuable purpose during the golf course's formative years. The need for an
advisory board has diminished completely and the members recommended that the Golf Course

• Conner, Chief of Police gave the staff presentation. This is the second of a two-year process to
replace the Police and Fire Department's computer-aided dispatch(CAD) and Records
Management(RMS) system using Cellular Digital Packet Data(CDPD),which will allow the
wireless transfer of license, criminal record and other information between the police station and
officers in the field. This approach to communications and wireless data transfer is ideal for short
rapid data exchange and is characterized by low entry costs for agencies. Additional features of
the system will be auto-vehicle locators to allow real-time tracking of police units, laptops in
patrol cars and mobile display terminals in fire trucks using wireless data transfer. This program
also will create a mapping system tied into the city's existing ArcView mapping system for use
by officers and firefighters in the field. CAD/RMS systems help Police and Fire service agencies
improve dispatch efficiency,provide quick response, and deliver accurate information to
•
personnel in the field. From the initial emergency call CAD will record all relevant details of the
p g Y
call-for-service and assist in the assignment of police patrol or emergency units. In addition,
CAD provides access to state and national systems for tracking criminal warrants and criminal
histories. CAD systems allow public safety officers to gather critical information related to calls-
for-service through wireless communications systems coupled with mobile computers installed in
their vehicles.

• counters. The grant requires $2,380 in matching City funds. The Department plans to match well

two items: (1) database integration software to allow officers greater access to data stored
throughout various stand-alone databases at a cost of $50,000; or(2) a computer-driven, use-of-

l l.G.6. Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a Contract for
engineering Services with Camp Dresser&McKee Inc. for the design of the Raw Water Line
Improvements at D.B. Woods Road. Jim Nuse, Chief of Operations/Assistant City Manager
made the staff presentation. The County's Road Projects,which are currently under construction
cross over Round Rock's "1985" (year installed) 30-inch Raw Water Line one (1) time and the
• installed 30-inch Raw Water Line two 2 times requiring the lowering of
1995 (year ) ( ) q g g
approximately 500 linear feet of the City's Raw Water Lines. The"1995" 30-inch Raw Water
Line runs about 15 feet inside Williamson County's East Right-of-way line of D.B. Woods Road.
The County has agreed to absorb the costs to work around the"1995"Raw Water Line in D.B.
Woods Road. These costs include the adjusting of existing valve boxes, existing flush valves,
raising existing 6-foot diameter air release vaults to match finish grades and to construct
retaining walls in order to maintain adequate cover over our Raw Water Line. In exchange staff
agreed to absorb the cost to lower the City's Raw Water Lines if the County would allow Round
Rock a 5 month window within their project schedule, so the work will be done during this
year's off peak water demands between October 2002 and April 2003. During these months
• Round Rock would only need the use of one Raw Water Line. This will allows the completion
of the work while only being dependent on one Raw Water Line and not both. The cost will be
$33,000.00.
RESOLUTION NO.

with Camp Dresser&McKee, Inc. for the preparation of a Texas Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System permit application from the Texas Natural Resource Conservation
Commission. Jim Nuse, Chief of Operations/Assistant City Manager made the staff presentation.
Wash water from the water treatment process is currently discharged into the City sanitary
sewerage system. These discharges at times overload the sanitary system causing an unauthorized
discharge of wastewater,which is a violation under TNRCC regulations. With the upcoming
plant expansion,these discharges will be reduced,but cannot be eliminated. Therefore, securing
a discharge permit will allow us to eliminate the connection to our sanitary sewer system by •
allowing us to discharge any excess wash water overland, saving the city thousands by not having
to over-size the existing pipeline to accommodate the additional flow of wash water. The existing
sanitary sewer line will need to be replaced in the near future due to the build up of alum over the
years,which has greatly reduced the line's capacity. The cost will be $13,750.00.

presentation. Early in 2001,Requests For Proposals were sent to three local architectural firms.
Spencer Godfrey was selected to take the Senior Activity Center Focus Group through a needs

Code of Ordinances, amending the Standards of Conduct and Financial Disclosure for City
Officials. (First Reading) Steve Sheets, City Attorney made the staff presentation. Among the
duties of the Ethics Review Commission is to periodically review the existing Ethics Ordinance
and make recommendation to the Council for amendments. Last year, the Commission
conducted such a review at the request of Mayor Stluka and forwarded its recommendations for
amendments to the Council earlier this year. With respect to the Ethics Ordinance, the
Commission recommended three major as well as a number of minor amendments. The major •
amendments are(1)to expand the definition of Family Member, (2) to add definitions for
"Officer" and"Pecuniary Gain"and(3)to change the definition of"Substantial Interest"to more
closely track state law. He recommended one change to the Commissions recommendations. At
the request of the Municipal Judge,he recommended that the definition of Officer be changed so
that it does not include Municipal Judges. The reason for this is that all Judges are currently
2 5
AUGUST 22,2002
governed by State of Texas Code of Judicial Ethics. He added that the Commission also
recommended that the Council adopt, in ordinance form,prohibitions against Nepotism. Mr.
Sheets expressed that he felt it was not appropriate to include the Nepotism provisions in the
Ethics Ordinance, so he has prepared an ordinance that adopts the Commission's
recommendations in a section of the City Code separate for the Ethics Ordinance. In addition,
• Mr. Sheets noted that he also added the following definition that would distinguish between a
city official or a Council appointee. "Appointee: Persons appointed or confirmed by the mayor or
city council;provided however for the purposes of this definition,the term"appointee" does not
include the Municipal Judges."
The Council discussed which city officials were required to file a financial disclosure and
the need to expand the list to include all the department heads.

2 5:_8
AUGUST 22,2002
recommended that the Council adopt an ordinance prohibiting nepotism similar to the existing
State statue. The only concern that Mr. Sheet had with the Commission's recommendation is
that, in his opinion it is not appropriate to include"nepotism"regulations in an"ethics"
ordinance. Therefore, he recommended that the Commission's nepotism regulations be adopted
in a separate section of the City Code.

A signal is also needed at the intersection of FM3406 and Creekbend. This is currently in
• negotiations with the Highway Department. Councilmember Pitt inquired if the traffic
information regarding SH45 can be televised on Channel 10 and to advertise the time of the

both east and west.
3.G.2. 620 Railroad Crossing, Mr. Word informed the Council that Georgetown
Railroad does not want to move. The railroad has a lot of protection at the federal level because
the railroad was one of the first means of transportation. The reason that Georgetown Railroad
does not want to move is that the option of re-routing would cause them to maintain more lines
rather than the two miles of line they currently maintain. It appears that negotiations have been
exhausted with Georgetown Railroad because of their cost.
• 3.G.3. Hester's Crossing Bridge. Mr. Word outlined the proposed improvements,which
would tie the frontage road on the west side of the interstate to SH45 and the La Frontera area.

improvements from Forest Creek to the Brushy Creek bridge. He also outlined the intermediate

forward and bring back to a future Council meeting a design for the improvements. Mr. Word
also gave an update on the County Road 122 Bridge at US79. The cost of those improvements
would be about$1million. Staff recommended that an engineering firm be retained to design the
bridge and have those plans ready, so when it was time to construct the bridge there would be no
delay in the project. He also asked that staff be allowed to pursue the development aspects of the
project with no specific construction date. •
Councilmember Coe expressed his concern regarding the temporary left-hand turn lane at
Meister Lane and Louis Henna Boulevard.
3.G.5. Public Transportation. Mr. Word outlined the history of urban and rural public
transportation. He outlined the needs that have been expressed by citizens, especially the senior
population. Mr. Word added that an option to address the need for public transportation is the
creation of a Regional Transit Authority(RTA), which requires a population of 200,000. He will
report back when he receives additional information regarding the RTA.
Ms. Prete gave an overview of the Summertime Express.

Consider discussion regarding upcoming Planning and Code Enforcement issues.
3.H.1. Political Signs. This was briefly discussed during the Sign Ordinance discussion.
3.H.2. Incendiary Littering. This has been an increasing problem especially at
intersections where individuals empty their ashtrays when stopped at a traffic signal. The
Council briefly discussed how this can be resolved and whether the penalty for doing this should
be increased. Staff will develop an awareness campaign that informs the public that emptying •
ashtrays at intersections is a violation of the City Code.
3.H.3. Mailboxes and Neighborhood Box Units. Mr. Vining informed the Council that
the Post Office has informed the City that they will no longer subsidize the placement of the
neighborhood box units in subdivisions due to budget constraints. The residents would need to
place a mailbox in front of their residence at a location specified by the Post Office. Staff
recommended that the neighborhood mailbox units be a requirement of the subdivision process

due to concerns regarding the placement of the mailboxes in utility easements. The mailboxes
would then be the responsibility of the developer.

recommended that a systematic survey be conducted throughout the neighborhoods to determine
the extent of the problem. The Council discussed crafting an ordinance to regulate parking in

gutters would be addressed. Mr. Sheets noted that he already has an ordinance drafted regarding
no parking in yards and can bring it back to the Council for consideration.

common complaint. Mr. Vining and Mr. Sheets offered information on how the maximum

regarding the number of individuals per household. .
