PRESENTATIONS:

3.B.1. Consider a presentation on a proposed Recreation Center.
Sharon Prete, Parks and Recreation Director briefly outlined the history of the Clay
Madsen Recreation Center and attendance that the Center has been experiencing. She noted that
one of the proposition for the November 6, 2001 Bond Election includes a second Recreation
Center. If the proposition is approved a new Recreation Center would cost approximately$7
million and would be 55,000 square feet. The site that is being considered for the Center is off •
Deepwood Drive adjacent to the Fire Station. Ms. Prete concluded that a second Recreation
Center would:
• Enhance the City's quality of life
• Improve the City's ability to serve the community
• Increase programming diversity
• Take some pressure off the Clay Madsen Recreation Center operation and
maintenance
3.C.1. Consider a presentation concerning Community Development Block Grant
recommended funding of public service activities in fiscal year 2001-2002.
Mona Ryan, Community Development Coordinator made the staff presentation. The
Community Development Annual Action Plan(CDAP)was adopted by the City Council on

$95,850 in CDBG funding to six public service agencies in fiscal year 2001/02. The funding is as
follows: YMCA$15,000,Round Rock Housing Authority$8,324, Big Brothers Big Sisters
$20,000, Children's Support Coalition$25,000, WBCO $25,000 and Round Rock Area Serving

. 5-
AUGUST 23,2001
programs funded with block grant money. It will also allow low and moderate-income families
and persons to have access to increased public services and community programs.
3.D.1. Consider a presentation to discuss and describe the City's new Computer-Aided
Dispatch/Records Management System program.
Paul Conner, Chief of Police made the staff presentation. He described the new
•
Computer Aided Dispatch/Records Management System (CAD/RMS)program funded in the
current year. The submission period for a Request for Proposals for this program ends on August
23. The CAD systems help Police&Fire services 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 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. Using CAD systems,
public safety officers can gather critical information related to calls-for-service through wireless
communications systems coupled with mobile computers installed in their vehicles. The current
system was purchased in 1995 and is being replaced because it is outdated and unable to meet the
• needs of a growing city with professional public safety agencies. The current software package is
incapable of providing essential.and timely crime analysis information and other case-tracking
features you would expect of a robust system of this type. Also, the current system does not
support mobile data computers, GIS mapping or automatic vehicle location.
3.E.1. Consider a presentation on the status of the road projects.
Tom Word, Traffic Engineer gave an update on the following transportation projects.
• Hesters Crossing/FM1325 Turnarounds—The improvements to the FM1325
turnarounds are about 45 days away for the opening.
• SH-45 Frontage Road—The curbs are in place and the base in down. Paving will
begin in about 2-3 weeks.
• US79 Phase I—The divided highway has been completed and the clean up is
being completed.
• Forest Creek Drive—Construction will begin in 1-2 weeks. The bridge is included
in these improvements.
• • South Mays—Progress is being made. The base and curbing are back on track and
the berm is also being worked on. If everything goes on schedule that road can be
used this winter.
• A. W. Grimes—The contractor is on schedule. The sub grade is being cut for
connection to the Red Villas. The contractor will then cross Gattis School Road to
continue the improvements.
• US79 Phase 2—The plans for the divided highay to 1460 are being worked on.
• FM1460—Staff is in contact with the State on the cost of the right-of-way.

RESOLUTIONS:
14.A.1. Consider a resolution scheduling a public hearing on the proposed 2001
property tax rate. David Kautz, Finance Director made the staff presentation. Chapter 26 of the
Property Tax Code requires taxing units to comply with truth-in-taxation laws in adopting their
• tax rates. When a proposed rate exceeds the lower of the roll-back rate or 103 percent of the
effective rate, the taxing unit's governing body must vote to place a proposal to adopt the rate on
the agenda of a future meeting as an action item. The proposed property tax rate of$0.32207 is
required to balance the FY2001-02 Operating Budget. This rate is below last year's rate of
$0.33031 but,because of changes in existing property values, represents a 6.86% increase for
properties, which were on the tax roll last year.
Public hearings will be held concerning the tax rate prior to its adoption.
RESOLUTION NO.
WHEREAS, Chapter 26 of the Property Tax Code [Vernon's Texas Codes Annotated,
Tax Code, Sections 26.01 et. seq.] requires taxing units to comply with truth-in-taxation laws in
adopting their tax rates, and
WHEREAS,the City of Round Rock's 2001 proposed tax rate exceeds the lower of the
• rollback rate or 103% of the effective rate, and
WHEREAS, it is mandatory in such case for the governing body of the City of Round
Rock to vote to place the proposal to adopt the rate on the agenda of a future meeting as an action
item on which a record vote will be taken, and
WHEREAS, it is necessary for the City Council to set a date, time, and place for the
holding of a public hearing on the proposed property tax rate, and
WHEREAS,the proposed property tax rate is 32.207 cents per$100 valuation compared

$100 of appraised taxable value. While this rate is less than last year's tax rate of 33.031 cents, it
is 6.9%higher than the Effective Tax Rate. The Effective Tax Rate would impose the same total
taxes as last year from properties on the tax roll this year that were also on the roll last year. This

legal definition of abandoned, "junked,"motor, and antique vehicles; and (4) adding provisions

15.B.1. Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a Memorandum of
• Understanding Relating to the ITS Integration Program with the Texas Department of
Transportation and Williamson County. Paul Conner, Chief of Police made the staff
presentation. The TxDOT Austin District has deployed freeway corridor, traffic management
systems as part of a strategic Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) early deployment plan
along the IH 35 and US 183 corridors. ITS employs computer controlled video cameras,
illuminated signs, and lane closure signals to respond rapidly to changing highway conditions
such as major accidents or hazardous materials spills. Dispatchers would be able view scenes
within the cameras' view,which would increase dispatch-efficiency, and TXDOT would receive
quicker notification of incidents to which it would need to respond. The County and the City
each use modern computer aided dispatch(CAD) systems to respond to reported incidents.
• Although undeniably linked by common transportation corridors, integration between these
systems is limited to telephone technology. However, each jurisdiction has a need to be aware of
roadway incidents inside the boundary of the other in a more efficient manner to plan a timely
and appropriate response. This project proposes to integrate existing Williamson County's CAD
and a new Round Rock CAD systems with an existing TxDOT advanced traffic management
system(ATMS). Integration with ATMS will provide each area with the information needed to
provide a timely and appropriate roadway incident response, especially at jurisdictional
boundaries. TxDOT will act as lead agency coordinating the integration of Williamson County
and Round Rock emergency management systems. TxDOT will provide the required local match
with funds and services from Williamson County and the City of Round Rock as they become
available. Tasks to integrate Round Rock CAD can begin once a contract is awarded to a CAD
• vendor expected in November 2001. Integration tasks last 18 months. There is no bottom
p �' may
line cost to the City, though there will be some upfront costs for which the City will be
reimbursed by TxDOT which is $80,000.

WORK SESSION:
3.A. Consider a presentation concerning_proposed draft amendments to the City of
Round Rock Zoning Ordinance,pertaining,specifically to the following sections:
11.100: General Provisions
11.200: Development Review Bodies
11.200: Development Review Procedures •
Lee Einsweiller with Duncan and Associates presented Sections 11.100, 11.200, and
11.200 of the Draft Zoning Ordinance to the City Council and the Planning and Zoning
Commission. The goals of the new Zoning Ordinance are to update, modernize, and reorganize
the existing ordinance. These goals are achieved with the General Plan 2000,by holding joint
meetings with the City Council and the Planning and Zoning Commission, conducting public
meetings, consultant expertise, and the Zoning Advisory Committee. The new ordinance is
organized better than the existing one. It has an improved page layout that includes more
descriptive headers and footers,bolded subheadings, and graphics.
Chapter 11.100 has the entire legal wording that has to be included in this type of
ordinance. Einsweiller reiterated that this revision does not change the zoning map. •
Chapter 11.200 lists all of the Development Review Bodies and their duties and
responsibilities. The following are the development review bodies in chapter two: Zoning
Administrator, Development Review Committee, Historic Preservation Commission, the Board
of Adjustment, Planning and Zoning Commission, and the City Council.
6`3
SEPTEMBER 18, 2001
The duties of the Zoning Administrator are to issue Certificates of Zoning Compliance,
issue Written Interpretations, Administrative Adjustments, and Temporary Use Permits. The
Historic Preservation Commission recommends historic designation and issues certificates of
appropriateness. The Board of Adjustment replaces the DRB. Its responsibilities are to issue
special exceptions,variances, and administrative appeals. The Planning and Zoning Commission
•
is responsible for recommendations for zoning changes and original zoning. The City Council is
responsible for General Plan Amendments, original zoning, text amendments, zoning map
amendments,PUD development plans, designation of historic properties, and partial tax
exemptions for historic sites.
Vining added that the public hearings at the Development Review Board occur too late
for public input to make an impact. The new process will make public input more important.
Councilmember Pitt wanted to make sure zoning is addressed along with annexation in the
public notices. She wants them to be very clear.
Commissioner Ellis wanted to know why the city does not use signs for posting hearings.
Vining said that there are too many problems with signs. They can be stolen or moved. The City
• will notify property owners within 300' of the property being rezoned,to try and reach more
people. It is improved from an existing 200' requirement. Einsweiller said we can do a courtesy
notification in addition to what the ordinance requires. These new standards are better than the
state statues.
Chairman Kosik wanted to know if items 6 and 7 on Page 16 could be combined.
Einsweiller said that he would combine them. Chairman Kosik asked what happens if someone
says that they never received the notice. Einsweiller said that(d) on page 17 addresses that
problem. Chairman Kosik also asked if Zoning Map Amendment on page 17, Section 8(a) should
state"no expiration."Einsweiller said that if you do not use the zoning, it should be revisited.
The expiration can be changed if the City only approves zoning changes in accordance with the
• General Plan.
Councilmember Pitt asked if the requirements in Section 11.302 pertained to single-
family uses. Einsweiller said that it is not required for single family
Commissioner Boles asked-if the new hearing process will decrease the number of angry
mobs at public hearings. Einsweiller said no,but at least they will testify earlier in the process so
that their input will make a difference.
64
SEPTEMBER 18, 2001
Councilmember Pitt wanted a definition of duration on Page 23 subparagraph (d).
Einsweiller said he would rewrite that section. Chairman Kosik also wanted a definition of
"duration"for subparagraph(e). Einsweiller said that the zoning administrator could define
parameters.
Commissioner Del Castillo wanted to know if subparagraph(g) on page 23 would
address the issue of temporary warehousing. Einsweiller said that temporarycan actually
mean years.
Commissioner Drapes wanted to know why subparagraph(a) on page 23 limited
fundraising or noncommercial events for nonprofit organizations to two days. Einsweiller said
he would revisit that requirement.
Councilmember Pitt wanted to know the difference between a special exception and a
variance. Einsweiller said that a special exception is a use which in theory fits the uses but on
your site may not fit.
Commissioner Drapes would like to see the powers and duties of the review boards be
listed at the top of each section. Einsweiller said that he would see what he could do.
Chairman Kosik noticed that page 11 item (ii) did not mention special called meetings. •
Councilmember Gallahan would like to see the exceptions for removal listed. Chairman Kosik
does not think there should be any exceptions.

There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 7:35 p.m.

life and property from natural and human caused hazards.
• Preparedness—Activities that develop the response capabilities needed in the
event that an emergency should arise.
• Response—the actual provision of emergency services during crisis or incident.
• Recovery—Is both long term and short. These operations seek to restored vital
services to the community and provide for the basic needs of the public.

preparedness for the City. •
3.B.1. Consider a presentation to describe the Police Department's future approach to
nuisance false burgl_ary alarms. Paul Conner, Chief of Police made the staff presentation. Police
officers spend a disproportionate share of their time responding to false alarms, and officers are
unavailable to respond to other calls-for-service or pursue community policy projects when they
are responding to false alarms. Chief Conner gave an overview of the following.
C
SEPTEMBER 27, 2001
• Departmental Procedural Order for dealing with nuisance false alarms.
• Notice of False Alarm and common causes and ways to reduce false alarms.
• Notice of Suspended Alarm Response
• Notice of Discontinued Alarm Response
The most common human errors and equipment problems are as follows:
Human Errors
• Use of incorrect key pad codes
• • Failure to train other authorized users (sitters,relatives, visitors, employees,
delivery personnel)
• Failure to secure doors and windows before setting alarm
• Failure to notify security company of unscheduled openings or closings (for
businesses using set schedules)
• Failure to update authorized personnel list with monitoring facility (for
commercial properties)
Equipment Problems
• Improper application or installation of interior motion detectors
• Improper application or installation of outdoor beams
• Improper charging or checking of batteries
• Faulty equipment(panels, detectors, key pads)
How to Reduce False Alarms
• Make sure that all users are familiar with alarm systems operations
• Secure doors and windows before setting alarms
• Be aware of changes in the environment (new animals, design changes, new
employees, seasonal decorations,plants)
• Notify monitoring facility of any and all changes (house guests, name changes,
• new employees,termination of employees)
• Equipment should be routinely inspected and maintained by qualified personnel
• The Department is focusing to work proactively with the community to reduce the
number of false alarms,improving the allocation of police resources.
Available Options
• Continue as we have
• Stop responding to addresses with chronic false alarms
• Do not respond to alarms until an alarm company checks out an alarm and calls
police
• Develop a permitting program and fine repeat false alarm offenders
Developed Nuisance Alarm Procedure Guidelines
• Nuisance Alarm-three or more false alarms in a 12 month period
• Police provides written and/or verbal notice
For each false alarm
For suspension of police response to alarm sites classified as nuisances
• Suspended alarm systems remain so until re-certified
• Re-certification requires a letter from the alarm company certifying
- Alarm system has been serviced
The malfunction has been identified
• - The necessary corrective action has been taken
• Upon three suspensions the alarm suspension is permanent
• Police will keep in close contact with all the alarm companies to verify who is the
current holder of the account

property tax rate for the City of Round Rock. David Kautz, Finance Director made the staff
presentation. The proposed Operating Budget for fiscal year 200102 is balanced at a tax rate of
32.207 cents per$100 of appraised taxable value. While this rate is less than last year's tax rate
of 33.031 cents, it is 6.9%higher than the Effective Tax Rate. The Effective Tax Rate would
impose the same total taxes as last year from properties on the tax roll this year that were also on
the roll last year. This tax rate provides adequate funding for the proposed operating budget. It
still remains a competitive rate when compared to other municipalities and it enables the City to
slightly reduce reliance upon the sales tax for operations.

the following components for the Police Department's Computer-Aided Dispatch/Records
Management System (CAD/RMS)program:
1. A Report-Writing Module for the Department's new Computer-Aided
Dispatch/Record Management System.

information across multiple databases and jurisdictions. This software/hardware
package consolidates data from numerous, stand-alone databases which

Included in these purchases would be the necessary training and installation of hardware
and software. The report-writing module would allow patrol officers to write offense and other
reports on laptop computers in their vehicles and upload them quickly to the Record
Management System upon their return to the station at the end of a shift. The COPLINK
software allows officers to quickly find critical case-solving information that previously required
• tremendous amounts of time-intensive activity to uncover. In both cases, the grant would allow
officers to spend more time on the streets.

constituted, the WCID has insufficient revenues to maintain and upgrade the dams. A proposition
was placed on the November 2000 ballot for a tax to repair the dams but that proposition failed.
As it turned out the voters on the east side of the district were against the tax and the voters on
the west side of the district were for the tax. So, it was determined that it was time to ask the
voters to divide the district. Passage of the proposal will allow the residents in these two districts

have a completed roadway section to serve the Red Hills Villas Apartments. This roadway
section will manage the apartment traffic and lessen the impact on the surrounding neighborhood

OCTOBER 25, 2001
PRESENTATIONS:
6.A.1. Consider a presentation concerningthe he implementation of Section 143 Civil
Service, Local Government Code. Teresa Bledsoe, Human Resources Director made the staff
presentation. On May 5, 2001, the citizens approved the proposition to implement Civil Service
for the Round Rock Fire Department. Civil Service is governed by Section 143, Local
Government Code that requires the implementation of Civil Service within 30 days of the
•
beginning of the fiscal year. Section 143 will now govern the hiring,promotion and disciplinary
process related to sworn fire personnel. The Fire Chief is the only sworn staff individual that is
not protected under the Civil Service. The implementation date for the Civil Service will be
October 30, 2001. Ms. Bledsoe gave an overview of the implementation process that has been
occurring since the approval of Civil Service on May 5a'. She outlined activities that the Civil
Service Commission has completed as outlined in the rules of Civil Service. There are currently
82 sworn fire personnel. On November 8t' staff will bring forth an ordinance for the Council's
consideration regarding Assignment Pay, Certification and Educational Incentive Pay and
Revision of Sick and Vacation Leave Policies related to sworn fire personnel. In response to the
question from Council,Ms. Bledsoe said that so far the implementation of Civil Service for the •
Fire Department has cost the City$194,000.
6.B.1. Consider a presentation on the Memorial Tree Program..Emsud Horozovic, the
City's Urban Forester gave a brief presentation on the new Memorial Tree Program. The Parks
and Recreation Department has teamed with the non-profit organization,For the Love of Christi,
to create a Memorial Tree Grove at Old Settlers Park at Palm Valley. The planting of trees is a
way to provide a lasting memorial to deceased loved ones while offering many other benefits to
the community. The trees enhance the natural beauty of the City, help to sustain the quality of the
environment, and offer many other amenities for local residents. The first tree planting will be
held on Saturday, October 27, 2001 of which 37 trees will be planted. A Oak tree will be planted
in the center of the grove, in memory of those who lost their lives on the September 11`x' attack •
on America. The dedication ceremony and unveiling of the memorial plaque that has the names
of those who have passed on will be held on November 3Ta
6.C.1. Consider a presentation regarding an update on the Microsoft Project database
Jim Nuse, Public Works Director made the staff presentation. The Public Works
Department has compiled City projects on Microsoft Project in order to keep the Council, City
OCTOBER 25, 2001 .
management and the public informed with the current status on each of these projects. The
project managers from the Public Works Department, as a team, have developed certain criteria
for all of the City projects that will be posted on the City's website. This database will be
updated to show the progress of the projects.
Monique Adams who oversees the database gave a visual preview of the database and
•
the information it contains. The information that will be found on the project pages will be:
• Name of the Project
• Project Start Date
• Project Finish Date
• Funding Amount
• Project Description
• Progress of the project
• Location map of the project
She noted that currently this information is only accessed via Intranet but next week it
will be on the main page of the City's website under projects.
6.C.2. Consider a presentation regarding the Alternative Contract Delivery System. Jim
Nuse, Public Works Director made the staff presentation. As of September 1, 2001, cities are
now able to avail themselves of 6 contract deliver methods other than standard competitive
• bidding. These methods include Competitive Sealed Proposals, Construction Management at
Risk and Design/Build. He outlined the Matrix of Project Delivery Methods that was provided to
the Council. He explained the following contract methods and their possible applications for
City projects.
• Competitive Bidding—This is a delivery method wherein the District selects an
architect, engineer to design and develop construction documents from which the
District solicits lump sum bids. Selection is based on the lowest responsible bid
and the contractor serves as a single point of responsibility for construction.
• Competitive Sealed Proposals—This is a delivery method similar to competitive
bidding. The District selects an architect, engineer to design and develop
construction documents. Once documents are fully complete the District solicits
sealed proposals. Selection is based on a combination of price and other factors
that the District deems provide best value.
• Request for Proposals - Construction Management at Risk—This is a method
• where the construction manager serves as the general contractor providing pre-
construction and construction services. The Construction Manager at Risk
provides design phase consultation in evaluation costs, schedule, and implications
of alternative designs, systems and materials during design and serves as a single
point of responsibility contracting directly with the subcontractors during
construction.
• Request for Proposals—Construction Management, Agency—This is a method
where the construction manager serves as an agent for the District providing pre-
construction and construction services in lieu of a general contractor. The
Construction Manager, Agent provides design phase assistance but holds no
subcontracts nor provides project bonding for the construction. The District holds
OCTOBER 25, 2001
the multiple trade contracts. Selection is based on the proposal offering the best
value to the District.
• Design/Build—This is a method where a single entity is contracted to provide
both design and construction. The Design/Build team consists of contractor,
architect and engineer. The Design/Builder contracts directly with the
subcontractors and is responsible for delivery of the project. Selection is based on
the proposal offering the best value to the District.
• Design/Build—Bridging—This method is a form of design/build where the •
District selects an architect, engineer to prepare the "design criteria package"
which is more comprehensive and enables a District to receive competitive
proposals from the Design/Build teams.
• Job Order Contracting—This is a process for contracting for the minor repair,
rehabilitation, or alteration of facilities when the work is of a recurring nature but
the delivery times, type, and quantities of work required are indefinite.
Mr. Nuse proceeded to explain the pros, cons,best suited and least suited of the methods.
J. Kay Gayle of the City Attorney's office gave a brief overview of the new legislation,
which goes into effect on September 1, 2001. She added that the Council makes the final
decision and approves a resolution concerning the type of method that will be used for each
particular project.
Larry Madsen, Construction Manager gave an overview on how these opportunities can
be used for the Municipal Office Complex. Currently, staff recommended that the Competitive •
Sealed Proposals method be used for this project. In addition, the firm of Ford White &Nassen
P.C. has agreed to assist the City with its first implementation of the new competitive sealed
proposal procurement method in connection with the new Municipal Office Complex.
6.D.1. Consider a request for a Tax Abatement Agreement from DuPont Photomasks
Inc. Gary Kasprzyk of DuPont Photomasks, Inc. made a presentation on their request for a tax
abatement agreement. DuPont is investing $27 million to upgrade their facility with the latest
technology. The capital investment in the JEOL tool has precipitated the additional investment
for a complete new 0.1Oum technology line. Whenever, a next generation tool is installed, there
are complementary tools, that are required to support the full process of the next generation
products, (approximately 27M for the line). This investment is critical to Dupont's customers, •
next generation products, and the migration of sub-micron features. This investment represents
the prudent position in the Semiconductor Industry,to ensure leading-edge capability, and
therefore, additional market share and resource allocation, as Dupont's business continues to
grow. The need for highly skilled personnel will be an attribute of this expansion. This
investment will result in the creation of ten new jobs and a significant increase in taxable tangible
113,
OCTOBER 25, 2001
property. Dupont's customer base(Motorola, AMD, Micron, TI, etc.) is driving the technology,
from which Dupont needs to be ready to support. This will be the second tax abatement
agreement DuPont would be receiving. Over a five-year period at the current ad valorem tax rate,
the value of the abatement will be worth approximately$312,142.

terms of affordable home ownership and in terms of apartment rents in
relation to income.

Limited public transportation available in the Round Rock area. •
• Substance Abuse
There is a cause for concern about levels of drinking and drug use among
Round Rock residents 13-24.
• Public Safety
- The number of Child Protective Services investigations increased 103%
(from 53 to 108) in Round Rock between 1999-2000.

CITIZENS COMMUNICATIONS:
8.A. Commissioner Frankie Limmer—County/State Roads Update
Commissioner Limmer provided the Council with the Mobility Improvement Feasibility
Study for the Hutto/Round Rock/Georgetown Area, which is a part of the Williamson County
Road Bond Program. The executive summary from the report presents the findings of an
engineering study to analyze the feasibility of upgrading and realigning existing county roadways
• to facilitate the development of a major north-south thoroughfare from US79 to the Georgetown
Inner loop, and an east-west thoroughfare from US79 to CR 110. The proposed roadway
alignment connects various existing county road segments into continuous flowing
thoroughfares. The proposed thoroughfares will initially consist of two 12-foot lanes with 4-foot
shoulders and roadside ditches. In the future, it is likely that the proposed thoroughfares will be
upgraded to five lanes of curb and gutter roadways with storm sewer. The proposed 90-foot
NOVEMBER 8,2001
right-of-way for the east-west thoroughfare and 100-foot right-of-way for the north-south
thoroughfare would accommodate future upgrades. The length of new or improved 2-lane
roadways total approximately 11.6 miles. The estimated construction cost for the proposed
roadway system is approximately$8,178,000. With engineering and surveying fees and a 20
percent contingency fee to cover improvements to connectingintersections, culverts and other
•
unforeseen improvements, the total cost for the two thoroughfares is estimated at$11,422,000. A
cost estimate,broken down into phase, is included in the report. The cost associated with
purchasing right-of-way takings is not included as part of the report. Plan schematics with
existing and proposed alignments are included with the report. The estimate of right-way takings
for the proposed alignment totals approximately 90.5 acres. Construction phasing and right-of-
way acquisition begin with new location roadway segments followed by improvements to
existing roadways.
8.B. Consider a request from Vince Petrolawicz for the City to purchase his property
located at 1009 Hayden WU. Mr. Petrolawicz asked the City to purchase his home because his
home backs up to the soccer fields and balls that have been kicked into his backyard have injured
his wife once and does not want it to happen again. Issues of concern are safety and personal •
injury,property damage, trespassing, invasion of private property and harassment. He noted that
a net was reinstalled but it is not a permanent solution and keeps falling. He added that he
continues to have problems with the Soccer Association.
John Gordon, 1007 Green Meadow, expressed his concern regarding the elimination of
Hopewell as a Middle School and of the traffic situation that will occur around Lakeside School
because Gulf Street is the only access to the school.
Warren Jones, 3819 Bent Brook Drive,Board of Directors President for the United Way.
PROCLAMATIONS:
9.A. Consider a proclamation recognizing all veterans on November 12 2001 at
Chisholm Trail Middle School in observance of Veteran's Day. •
Mayor Stluka read the appropriate proclamation and presented it to representatives of The
Helping Hands of Chisholm Trail Middle School.
PRESENTATIONS:
10.A.1. Consider a presentation concerningthe 03 Flex Agreement for the Austin/San
Marcos Metropolitan Statistical Area. Bob Bennett, City Manager and Wade Thomason, of the
NOVEMBER 8,2001
Clean Air Force made the brief presentation. The 03 Flex Plan is an agreement between Round
Rock surroundinggovernments, Austin and the EPA. The plan has been under construction for
g �
almost 3 years. The plan addresses both the 8-hour and 1 hour standards for ozone and keeps us
out of non-attainment for the time being. However,the Plan is built for results and we must show
progress in reducing ozone levels. If unsuccessful and Round Rock achieves non-attainment,
•
impact will be negative and significant. But voluntary actions taken now can be credited should
the region face a non-attainment designation in the future. The objective of the 0, Flex
Agreement is to maintain the 1-hour ozone standard. To meet this goal governing bodies need to
complete the process of selecting measures and agreeing on their commitments. Not all measures
can or will be implemented by every entity but a goal is to achieve 7 of the measures.
10.B 1. Consider a presentation regarding the delivery of the 2001 Aerial Photo Mapping
Project. Aaron Norby, Planning Department GIS Analyst and Don Rundell, Chief Utility
Engineer made the staff presentation. The presentation consisted of the delivery of the Aerial
Photo Mapping Project. An overview was given of its relationship to the overall GIS
Implementation Plan and its relationship to the proposed GPS Monumentation Project.
• Following is additional information on this project:
2001 Air Photo Mapping Project
• Project approved by Council in February
• Worked in conjunction with CAPCO
• Air photography and mapping for 86 square miles of City and ETJ
• First ever digital planimetric data for the City
• Very detailed true color 0.5' imagery

PUBLIC HEARINGS:
11.A.1. Consider public testimonregarding the proposal to rezone 3.18 acres of land,
more or less, out of the Wiley Harris Survey, A-298, in Williamson County, Texas from SF-2 •
(Single Family-Standard Lot) and TF (Duplex)to C-1 (General Commercial). Joe Vining,
Planning Director made the staff presentation. The Planning and Zoning Commission held a
public hearing on October 17, 2001. At that time the Commission recommended adoption of the
rezoning tract from SF-2 (Single-family) and TF (Duplex)to C-1 (General Commercial) zoning.
In accordance with the General Plan Land Use Map this zoning change will convert this tract to
commercial zoning which will accommodate the proposed use and will give this block the same
zoning treatment as the neighboring blocks and will likewise serve to implement the goals and
objectives of the reinvestment zone. The existing single-family zoning was adopted per the
original zoning map in 1969; the duplex zoning stems from a zoning change in 1971. This tract is
located south of Bagdad Avenue and northwest of McNeil Road. •
Mayor Stluka opened the public hearing. There being no public testimony, the public
hearing was closed.

sales—which are shared equally with other local agencies involved in the seizure. The state
program is based on a written agreement with the District Attorney's office; as a result of this
agreement, the City receives (a) all seized vehicles valued at $1,000 or more, (b) 50 percent of
cash after the first$500, and(c) 50 percent of proceeds from the sale of seized property after the
first$5,000. This is a routine, annual budget item. The$158,684 in budgeted revenues would be
used to fund the City's commitment to a countywide training facility, equipment, and computers.
This budget will allow the City to collect its share of seized assets and use those funds for law
enforcement purposes. Participation in these asset forfeiture programs provides the Police
Department with additional funds beyond general fund revenues, which it may use for law
enforcement purposes. This $158,684 budget is for revenues generated by asset forfeitures shared
with state and federal law enforcement agencies. These funds would be used to fund the City's

14.A.1. Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute an Advanced Benefits

insurance reporting information. Teresa S. Bledsoe, Human Resources Director made the staff
presentation. Council previously approved an agreement for Watson Wyatt & Co. to conduct a
• review and analysis of the City's current health and supplementary benefits plan. As a result of
Y tY PP rY
the information gleaned and discussions with the City's current agent-of-record staff determined
that it is in the best interest of the City's plan to pursue an agreement with Watson Wyatt& Co.
This agreement would change the City's agent-of-record from Keith Carmichael,Neiman Hanks
to Jerry Turner, Watson Wyatt. The cost is $78,000 plus expenses not to exceed$90,000. Watson
Wyatt&Co. has agreed this amount will not exceed actual cost of service provided plus
15: 8
NOVEMBER 8,2001
expenses. For the past seven years the City has maintained the same agent of record. While staff
understands that overall costs of health care is increasing staff became concerned that no
recommendations from the agent-of-record was received as to what to consider in light of
national trends or just general cost containment suggestions. The information presented by
Watson Wyatt & Co., under a consulting agreement, for a specific review of the City's health
and welfare plans targeted some specific areas that staff should take a look at for ongoing plan
management. This agreement formalizes with an agent-of-record whose general focus is to make
every effort to minimize the cost of the City's employee benefit program without sacrificing the
quality of the plan. This agreement enables the City to:
• Take a more strategic approach to managing the benefits programs
• Improve cost management and employee satisfaction with the benefit programs
• Allow for ease and fluidity of future changes/modifications to the benefit program
• Access pertinent information impacting employee benefits
• Reduce burden for administrative and operational staff regarding benefit
programs.

NOVEMBER 8,2001
Inc. was retained by the City of Round Rock to conduct a multi-year I&I Reduction Plan.
Phase I was completed in August 1998. Phase II was completed in July 2000. The required
rehabilitation of wastewater lines and manholes identified under Phases I &II are scheduled to
be completed by the end of 2002. This project is to provide cleaning, testing, mapping,
inspection, analysis, and reports on 1900 manholes, 122,000 linear feet of our wastewater
collection system in three (3)basins within the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone. Elimination of
•
these defects will reduce the I&I entering the system, thereby reducing the City's treatment cost
to the Lower Colorado River Authority(LCRA) and Brazos River Authority(BRA). Most
importantly the City is required under TNRCC, Chapter 213-Edwards Aquifer Rules to inspect
and test all wastewater collection systems every five-year. The rule provides a maximum of one
year to correct any defects found. However, all leaks must be immediately contained to prevent
any discharge to water in the state or Edwards Aquifer whether necessary repairs have been
completed or not. This is a start toward complying with TNRCC rules and these efforts will help
to keep our wastewater treatment cost down. However, it should be noted that the City of Round
Rock would need to dedicate several million dollars annually to comply with current laws. The
total fee for these professional services is $248,149.00. •

14.F.18. Consider a resolution expressing official intent to reimburse cost of acquiring
certain vehicles and equipment. David Kautz, Finance Director made the staff presentation. In
accordance with the operating budget, certain equipment is acquired with cash and subsequently
financed for three years through a tax-exempt capital lease. Because of the tax-exempt nature of
the financing, Internal Revenue Service regulations require the City to state its intentions before
the transactions are completed. This type of financing allows the City to acquire new equipment
and replace equipment in a timely manner as replacement criteria are met. For the current fiscal
year,the equipment to be financed is scheduled at$675,000. With a three-year payback, the
impact on any one operating budget is minimized. Additionally, the tax-exempt capital lease •
rates offer a very favorable cost of capital to the City.
RESOLUTION NO.
WHEREAS, the City of Round Rock, Texas (the "Issuer") is a home-rule City of the
State of Texas, and
WHEREAS, the Issuer expects to pay expenditures in connection with acquiring certain
vehicles and equipment (the "Property") prior to the issuance of obligations to finance the

objectives of the Issuer and, as such, chooses to declare its intention, in accordance with the
provisions of Section 1.150-2 of the Treasury Regulations, to reimburse itself for such payments
at such time as it issues obligations to finance the Property,Now Therefore
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROUND ROCK, TEXAS,
I.
That the Issuer reasonably expects to incur debt, as one or more separate series of various
types of obligations, with an aggregate maximum principal amount equal to $675,000 for the
purpose of paying the costs of the Property. •
II.
That all costs to be reimbursed pursuant hereto will be capital expenditures. No tax-
exempt obligations will be issued by the Issuer in furtherance of this Resolution after a date
which is later than 18 months after the later of(1) the date the expenditures are paid or (2) the
date on which the property, with respect to which such expenditures were made, is placed in
service.
III.
The foregoing notwithstanding, no tax-exempt obligation will be issued pursuant to this
Resolution more than three years after the date any expenditure, which is to be reimbursed, is
paid.

Re: Disclosure of Conflict of Interest Regarding Meeting of the City Council on

Dear Christine:
Please insert this letter into the minutes of the City Council Meeting on November 20,
2001.
The City Charter provides that "all members of the City Council—shall vote upon
every resolution or ordinance, except where there is a conflict of interest, the reason for
which shall be stated concisely in the records." §3.12
Agenda item 13(D)(1) concerns a Public Improvement District to be established for
Sycamore Trail, Ltd. Prior to my election to council, I represented Sycamore Trail, Ltd. in
negotiations'with the City to establish this Public Improvement District.
Therefore, given my prior representation of Sycamore Trail, Ltd., I believe it would be a
conflict of interest for me to now vote on this matter.

Zoning Ordinance Revision. He outlined design standards for townhouse/multifamily districts
and non-residential designs which included the C-1, C-2, OF, and PF districts. The design
• standards for townhouse/multifamily districts included elevation variation requirements, exterior
color requirements, exterior finish requirements, and roofing and design feature requirements.
Mr. Einsweiller proceeded to outline compatibility issues such as mechanicals, refuse,
landscaping, and lighting. Chairman Kosik wanted a definition for light source on Page 131,
paragraph 2. Councilmember Pitt wanted to know if La Frontera was being used as an example
of minimum requirements. Mr. Einsweiller said that it was.

DECEMBER 3, 2001
Mr. Einsweiller gave an overview of landscaping and buffers. He said that the
requirements were based on a point system. There are mandatory and flexible techniques.
Commissioners Del Castillo and Pavliska expressed his concerns regarding the minimum tree
size requirements. Sharon Prete said that they are still working on the details. Chairman Kosik
expressed his concern that the landscape requirements were too confusing.
•
Mr. Einsweiller proceeded to outline off street parking and loading, traffic impact study,
outdoor storage and display, and access and circulation requirements. Commissioner Del Castillo
expressed his concern that everything in the C-1 district was going to look like a house. Mr.
Vining said that it was only required to look like a house if the building area was less than
10,000 square feet.
Councilmember Gallahan expressed her concern about the effect of the new standards on
developers. Mr. Einsweiller said that Round Rock has a good reputation for working with the
developers.
Commissioner Boles expressed his concern that the landscape requirements are not tight
enough and does not want developers to see what they can get away with.
Mayor Stluka asked if everything under the historic overlay was protected. Mr. •
Einsweiller said that it was.
Councilmember Pitt asked if the landscape ordinance would define the protected trees.
Randy Gilbert said that it would and that it would list the same species as the existing ordinance.
He also said that landscape plans require the seal of a landscape architect.
Commissioner Pavliska expressed his concern that all of these new requirements would
cost the citizens money. Mr. Vining said that it would not cost any more money because if a
developer wants to do anything different now, he has to go through the PUD process which is
very expensive and time consuming.

The Round Rock City Council met in Work Session and Regular Session on Thursday,
December 6, 2001 in the City Council Chamber, 221 E. Main Street.

Tom Nielson, Councilmember Alan McGraw, Councilmember Carrie Pitt, Councilmember Earl
Palmer, Councilmember Isabel Gallahan and Councilmember Gary Coe. Also present were •
Assistant City Manager Joanne Land and City Attorney Steve Sheets.
WORK SESSION:
3.A.1. Consider a presentation by the Executive Director of the Round Rock Housing
Authority. Joe Vining, Planning Director made the staff presentation. The Round Rock Housing
Authority Board hired Bruce Gill in 1994 to serve as Executive Director of the Round Rock
Housing Authority. He came to the City of Round Rock after retiring from the U.S. Department
of Housing and Urban Development with 27 years of service in the Public Housing Division.
Mr. Gill has given his notice that he will be retiring at the end of the year. The Board has hired a
Director to replace Mr. Gill.
Bruce Gill introduce the incoming Executive Director, Ebbie Green., which will officially •
begin with the Round Rock Housing Authority on Monday, December 3, 2001. Ms. Green
briefly outlined her background.
3.B.1. Consider a presentation regarding an update on the status of the November 6,
2001 Election Approved Bond Program. Jim Nuse, Public Works Director made the staff
presentation. The City Council with the help of a Bond Task Force and City staff placed a
Proposed Bond Program before the City of Round Rock voters on the November 6, 2001
Election Day ballot. The citizens approved all four of the propositions. The Williamson County
Web Site posted election results were as follows. Proposition One, the Public Work Projects
received 2,704 (77.61 %)Yes votes and 780 (22.39 %)No votes. Proposition Two, the Parks &
Recreation Projects, received 2,355 (67.56 %)Yes votes and 1,131 (32.44 %)No votes.

DECEMBER 6, 2001
3 B 2. Consider a presentation regarding the adoption of the 2000 International Family
of Codes. Jim Nuse, Public Works Director made the staff presentation. The City of Round Rock
has adopted and enforced the Standard Codes since 1975. In 1994, a movement started that
would consolidate the 3 nationally recognized codes into one. Now, the Standard Family of
Codes that the City currently enforces is no longer revised to reflect changes in the current
industry standards. The Standard, Uniform and BOCA Building Codes have been consolidated
into single family of codes, which is The International Codes. The new codes will allow the City
to stay current with changes in the construction industry.
3.13.3. Consider a presentation regarding Energy Conservation. Senate Bill 5, Texas
Building Energy Performance Standards, imposes new requirements on local governments and
around major urban areas in Texas. Michael Thane, Engineer made the staff presentation. Certain
political subdivisions, such as Round Rock, must implement cost-effective energy efficient
measures and all cities must adopt new energy efficient building codes. The requirements will
reduce electrical consumption by 5% each year for the next 5 years in existing City facilities and
to achieve energy conservation. Mr. Thane briefly outlined how Senate Bill 5 will affect Round
• Rock and how the City plans to comply with this requirement.

• CITIZENS COMMUNICATIONS:
Mayor Stluka read the following letter he received from the American Red Cross, which
was dated November 16, 2001. "Dear Mayor Stluka, Thank you for your leadership during
Round Rock's hour of need last night. Ms. Sharon Prete and her Round Rock Parks and
Recreation Department staff opened a reception center for evacuees during the tremendous
rainstorm last night. Please accept our heartfelt gratitude for the wonderful and responsive
support provided to the citizens of Round Rock. Ms. Cath Martel and her staff at the Clay
2 1: 2
DECEMBER 6,2001
Madsen Recreation Center were particularly responsive and helpful. When the American Red
Cross of Central Texas, Williamson County Branch disaster volunteers arrived at the Recreation
Center Ms. Martel and her staff had already provided the twenty-three evacuated citizens a hot
meal and were playing games with the children. Throughout the time we were there Ms. Martel
and her staff displayed the highest levels of proactive community spirited service Round Rock is
known for. Their cheerful and nurturing approach to this tense event proved reassuring to the •
families and particularly the children whose lives they touched. I am sure you are proud of your
team. I know we are. Sincerely, Audrey E. Simmons, Director."
Mayor Stluka announced that due to the extra hard work that all the City employees have
given throughout the year he and the Council have decided that this year December 31St be
designated as a City employee holiday.
John Moman, 1701 Johnson Way, spoke in favor of adopting the new International
Building Code.
Arthur Bryan, II, 1402 Wildvine Cove, said that the youth of the community is working
toward making Round Rock a smoke free City and it was his understanding that an ordinance has
been drafted and is ready for the Council to discuss. He encouraged the Council to support the
request of the youths of Round Rock.
PRESENTATIONS:

presentations were addressed under the Work Session.
PUBLIC HEARINGS:
9.A.1. Consider public testimony regarding the adoption of the Greater Lake Creek
Neighborhood Plan as an amendment to the 2000 General Plan. Dana Stidham,Neighborhood
Planner made the staff presentation. The Greater Lake Creek Neighborhood Plan is part of a
neighborhood-planning program, established by the City in 1994. The major goal of the program
is to ensure the quality of neighborhoods in Round Rock by collaborating in the development of
solutions to neighborhood concerns, stabilizing and improving property values, and highlighting •
positive aspects of the neighborhood. The neighborhood plan should support the General Plan, as
an amendment to that document. Ideally the neighborhood plan reflects not only the goals of the
General Plan 2000, but also the goals of the Parks and Recreation Department plan, the
Transportation Master Plan, and any other plans from within the City. The General Plan contains
objectives to "strengthen and preserve neighborhood integrity," including 1) reinvestment in
older neighborhood infrastructure; 2) consistent code enforcement to maintain neighborhood
21, 3
DECEMBER 6, 2001
integrity; and 3) compatible land use adjacent to neighborhoods. The neighborhood worked
closely with the following City departments, in the creation of the plan: Planning, Public Works,
Parks and Recreation, Code Enforcement, and Animal Control. Such cooperation will continue
with the implementation part of the Plan. The Planning and Zoning Commission at a public
hearing on Wednesday,November 28, 2001 approved the Greater Lake Creek Neighborhood
• Plan. Members of the Greater Lake Creek Neighborhood Plan committee gave a brief overview
of the Plan.

Grimes Boulevard will have plenty of capacity to handle the traffic. As for the impact on the
schools he was also informed from the School District that there would not be an overwhelming
impact on the schools in the area. He added that the developer has agreed to limit the multi-
family to two stories and to reduce the number of units to 200 town homes on tract 3A. As for

• Thomas Survey, A-609 in Round Rock Williamson Coun1y, Texas from Planned Unit
Development(PUD) District Nos. 36 and 37 to Planned Unit Development(PUD) District No.
56. (First Reading). A public hearing was held earlier in the meeting on this item. The Council
and Mr. Weiss discussed the public testimony that was received and the suggestions from the
Council. Some points that were brought up by the Council and Mr. Weiss are as follows:
• Need to look at compromise for the development.
DECEMBER 20, 2001
• Don't want apartments but also don't want light industrial on that tract.
• Less density
• Want standards in PUD that will make this a quality project.
• Randalls does not want to be located in an Industrial zoning.
• Developer agrees to limit the town homes to 200 units.
• Height of units reduced to two story
• The City's current code does not have a descriptive term for town homes.
• The development will be a product of town homes, condominiums, or elderly
housing. •
• A Town Center concept is appealing but not with multi-family.
• Mr. Weiss and staff will work to develop a town home concept.
• Council does not want to proceed the way the request was presented they would
rather proceed with suggestions that were brought up.
The Council relayed their appreciation to everyone that came to speak or sent e-mail. A
lot of the e-mails had constructive comments and suggestions. Councilmember Coe expressed
his concern on the following e-mail that he and the Council received. "Dear Mayor Stluka,
Round Rock West said no apartments on Round Rock West Drive and the City Council refused
apartment zoning. Wood Glen said no apartments on 3406 and the City Council refused
apartment zoning. South Creek said no apartments. If any member of the City Council votes for
apartment zoning near South Creek, I will lead the recall petition against them. Please remind
everyone on the City Council what happened to Round Rock's mayor in 1979 when I lead the
recall in 1979. P.S. 3,500 signatures will not be a problem. Further, the vote in the affirmative by •
a member of the City Council will create a division and hostility in this City that will take a
decade to heal. In fact, I am going to be upset with the developer and Randall's if they even
bring this present plan up to the City Council. I will even organize the boycott of Randall's if I
have to spend any time on this. I am tired of having my time wasted by issues such as this. When
South Creek said no, the P&Z should have rejected the plan-period. I hope my words are plain
enough for everyone to be forewarned. I would ask the neighborhood leaders to call their local
Councilmembers to reiterate my letter. I am not happy to have this matter interrupt my vacation.

2 with HDR Engineering, Inc. for the design of the East Water Transmission Line (Phase I)
Improvements. Jim Nuse,Director of Public Works made the staff presentation. Phase I,
improvements consist of a 48-inch water line from the Water Treatment Plant to Barton Hill,
which is currently under design. Bids were taken for Phase I-A on November 13"', 2001, in order
•
to coordinate our project with crossing the Beasley property, due to the current construction of
the Roger Beasley Dealership, west of I1135. Since, the Roger Beasley Dealership has proceeded
faster than anticipated the Phase I-A will not be awarded. Phase 1 of this project, approximately
8,000 linear feet will be bid in March 2002,provided all easements have been acquired. The
general scope of work under this amendment is for additional engineering and surveying
services. These services are required to move the designed route to the north, to accommodate
TXDOT requirements and avoid improved properties, which would increase the construction
cost of this project. This work is for additional surveying to facilitate land acquisitions. The
increase is $13,500.00.

PUBLIC HEARINGS:
5.A.l. Consider public testimony to rezone 1.0908 acres of land, more or less, out of the
David CILra Survey,A-130, in Round Rock, Williamson County, Texas from C-2 (Local •
Commercial)to Planned Unit Development(PUD)No. 54 Sunrise Carwash PUD). Jim
Stendebach, Assistant Planning Director made the staff presentation. The owner and developer of
this tract submitted a request to rezone this tract to a PUD (Planned Unit Development) for the
purpose of constructing a carwash facility on the site. The current zoning of this tract is C-2
(Local Commercial). Local commercial zoning does not specifically permit car washes due to the
fact that properties with C-2 zoning usually back directly to single-family homes. In this case,
the site backs to water storage tanks and a convenience store. The site has enough area for
significant buffers adjacent to both streets. Construction materials are restricted to stone and a
pre-finished metal roof. On January 2, 2002 the Planning and Zoning Commission
recommended the rezoning of this tract to PUD subject to the following changes: •
1. Restrict hours of operation to 6:00 a.m. — 11:00 p.m.
2. Move driveway access away from Pearl Cove if traffic engineer agrees.
3. Provide privacy fence along the northeast property line.
4. Enclose vacuums to limit noise.
5. Provide for potential driveway access to 7-11.
6. Meet with residents to try to address their concerns.
The developer has complied with the request from Commission. In addition, the
developers made the following commitments and are contained in the revised PUD document.

(First Reading)David Kautz,Finance Director made the staff presentation. The City owns Forest
Creek Golf Course and has contracted with GolfCorp to manage and operate the golf course. As
part of the operation, Golf Corp prepares a capital budget for major improvements and
equipment. The budget is funded by 6% of green fees. The golf course has always been self-
supporting and no tax money or general revenues have been required to operate the golf course
or to pay debt service. This budget will help to maintain and improve the Forest Creek Golf
Course,preserve the asset, and keep it competitive with other golf courses. The budget is
approximately$67,000.

56. (Second Reading A public hearing was held earlier in the meeting on this item.
Councilmember Coe said that he agreed with the process that was taken for this PUD and
that all of the Council has been working toward changes that would make this a good
development for the City as a whole. He added that he was not comfortable with the
2 7-8,'
JANUARY 24, 2002
development as it first came before the Council. He expressed his concern that some residents
felt that the Council was not listening to their concerns regarding this development. He continued
that the Council does listen to the resident that is why there is an amendment to the PUD on the
table. As for the ownership issue, the Council can never dictate ownership in anyone's
neighborhood. Also, the General Plan is only a plan that can be changed
•
to something else for the betterment for the whole City.
Councilmember McGraw thanked everyone who spoke and who had input in this
development. He added that this is a hard and emotional decision for the Council to make but
this is a great project for the community. Also, everyone should remember that the development
began with 800 apartment units but that was changed by all of the Council working with the
developer.
Councilmember Gallahan said that the residents of South Creek, Rolling Ridge and
Round Rock Ranch are against the rezoning due to density and traffic concerns and the Council
should follow their wishes. Also that the Council should"stick"to the current General Plan and
to how the Planning and Zoning Commission zoned that area which is industrial and commercial.
In addition that the Council needs to look at projects that can benefit the entire City. •
Mayor Pro-tem Nielson thanked Mr. Wise for being accessible to the entire Council
during this process. He also expressed his concern that the current zoning was not the optimum
zoning for the tract and that the zoning that the tract was given at the time was short sighted. He
would like to encourage more commercial development in this area so the residents don't have to
travel SH-45 to shop. In addition he was concerned that there was no guarantee that the project
would be what he envisioned it to be so he could not support the development as it stands but felt
strongly about getting retail or office space in this area.

2. 9 C
FEBRUARY 8, 2002
• Need patrol of signs on weekends.
• Signs abandoned and never picked up.
• Enforcement needs to be consistent.

Ideas that were brought uU concerning the sign ordinance were: •
• License fee for each sign.

• Signs allowed only in a subdivision that is under construction.
• Research how other cities are handling the sign situation.
• Enforce a limitation on number of signs permitted.
• Limited times of posting: 5:00 p.m. Friday through 5:00 p.m. Sunday.
• Set aside$10k-$15K annually to hire part time officers to patrol the sign postings on
the weekends if there is going to be enforcement of current ordinance.
• Allow garage sale signs inside a subdivision for directional purposes and not outside
the subdivision.
Mayor Stluka asked that more information be provided on time, effort and cost of •
enforcing the current sign ordinance.
3.A.3. Update of the Municipal Office Complex Project and the proposed Senior Center.
Jim Nuse gave a brief presentation on how the Senior Center could fit in the Municipal
Office Complex.
Sharon Prete explained that this was being considered due to the discovery of mold in the
current Senior Center.
Joe Vining added that staff also wants to look more into the parking situation at the site.
Bob Bennett noted that an option that was being discussed was the incorporation of
underground parking under the future Senior Center but staff would keep the Council updated on
any definite changes.

infringement of property owner's rights,how to give the business owners a chance to provide

Bank.
