PRESENTATIONS:
3.A.1: Consider a presentation by Destination Development, Inc. regarding the results for
the development of a long-range tourism plan. Sharon Prete,Parks and Recreation Director
made the staff presentation. In September 2002 the City, Chamber and local tourism industry
representatives began meeting to discuss present and future tourism opportunities. It soon
became apparent that a long-range plan was needed, so steps were taken to hire a consultant to
help us through the process. In June 2003, the City hired Destination Development,Roger
Brooks, to prepare a plan based upon a community evaluation and citizen input.
• Roger Brooks made the following presentation and outlined some of the
recommendations for long-range tourism plan.
Introduction:
• Tourism: Fastest growing industry in the U.S. and Texas
• To succeed you must either be different or be the best
• Branding is the key to success. This includes product development as well as
marketing.
Philosophy
• By state law, hotel occupancy tax funds must be used for the promotion and
development of tourism: bringing visitors from at least 50 miles away.
• The City should always look for a return on investment. These are economic
development funds,not grant funds.
Branding:
• Mission Statement should be to become the Sports Capital of the U.S.—Particularly
in amateur and semi-pro sports. To create multi-day events that will fill local lodging
establishments and will encourage local spending.
• Initial Effort: Round Rock,the Sports Capital of Texas
•
Partnerships:
• City of Round Rock facilities (primarily Old Settlers Park)
• Dell Diamond
• Round Rock ISD (The Independent School District)
• The County (Williamson Park)
• Pflugerville Soccer Complex
Following are some of the recommendations made by Mr. Brooks:
2 =
NOVEMBER 25, 2003
Sales Effort:

- Three staff people,Director of Sales, Events Coordinator, and Staff support person.
• Implement a professionally produced advertising and public relations program.
- Need to upscale marketing efforts
Product Development:

• The Round Rock Special Events Center
Do feasibility study to determine size and cost
This will not be a community or civic center
Conference Center(40-50,000 sq. ft.) to accommodate conventions for 1,000
individuals, maybe next to Dell Diamond
• Water Park at Old Settlers Park
- This will be one more reason for people to come to Round Rock
• Recruit or develop RV park next to or at Old Settlers Park(upscale, 150+ spaces, full
hook ups)
• Signage program: Gateways and wayfinding
Other Recommendations:
• Event Funding: Return on investment, follow the theme
- Local events should follow state law
• Historic attraction funding: new focus
• Increase cultural arts programs under this program. Future capital project: Performing
Arts Center
• Public/private transportation system
- Partnership with hotels or other entities •
Next fiscal year because hotels are spread throughout City
Budgets:
• Dell Diamond: $700,000+per year
• Product development: $500,000 per year
• CVB & sales effort: $300,000 per year
• Support Services: $100,000 per year
• Advertising/Public Relations efforts: $235,000
Next Steps...
• Adoption of the plan
- Recommended that the plan be adopted as a whole document rather than
piecemeal so it can work.
- Resolve problems with plan or initiate amendments prior to adoption.
• Formation of the Tourism Commission
• Staff organization, search, logistics
• RFP for wayfinding, signage plan development
• RFP for the Special Events Center
Mr. Brooks added that he does not recommend that the lodging tax be increased. •
In response to Councilmember Rhode's question., Mr. Brooks said that his company did
an extensive search of Texas and did not find any other City that had the designation of"Sports
Capital of Texas."

CITIZENS COMMUNICATIONS:
Rocky Garzarek,Deputy Fire Chief reported that Chief Bizzell recently received the
distinguished award of Chief Fire Officer. This is a voluntary program designed to recognize
individuals that show their excellence in seven measured components. Those components
include Experience, Education, Professional Development, Professional Contributions,
Association Membership, Community Involvement, and Technical Competencies. A candidate
must submit his career portfolio to a nationally recognized panel of peer assessors for review.
The panels of peers' assessors evaluate the credentials of the candidate making sure that the
candidate has demonstrated excellence in all of the core criteria areas. Many people try,but, only
• a few are selected annually to receive this award. In fact, only 15 Fire Chiefs in the entire State of
Texas have obtained this distinguished recognition.
Mayor Maxwell presented Chief Bizzell with his award designating him as National
Chief Fire Officer.
Giselle Schaefer,2003 Woods Cove, informed the Council that the Putt-N-Fun Zone will
be getting an outdoor electric go-cart track. This track will be the only one like it in the United
States.
PRESENTATIONS:
8.A. Continuation of presentations not addressed during the Work Session. None
8.B.1. Consider a presentation on the City of Round Rock Employee Health Plan.
Teresa Bledsoe,Human Resources Director made the staff presentation. The City's self-insured
medical dental and vision plan is a Preferred Provider Organization plan(PPO) and has three
principal components: a health care provider, claims administration and stop loss reinsurance.
The health care provider network provides health care to our employees and their covered
dependents at negotiated discounts. A claims administrator is hired by the City to assist in plan
design,negotiations with the provider network and payment of claims in accordance with the
plan design. Reinsurance is purchased by the City to provide a safety net against catastrophic
it

NOVEMBER 25,2003
claims. Because the City partially self-insures this plan, the City is responsible for a certain level
of claims costs. The reinsurance is responsible for covering claims cost above those covered by
the City. Major revisions were made to the plan designed this year to address rising cost and
better utilization of the plan. The cost of this insurance is a function of the number of employees
and dependent units covered. Plan design changes are intended to reduce some of the impact of
health insurance industrytrends and to encourage better utilization of the plan by employees and •
dependents. This agreement provides skilled medical plan claims administration in an efficient
manner.
PUBLIC HEARINGS:
9.A.1. Consider public testimony regarding the application filed by Westside Church of
Christ of Williamson County, Inc. to rezone 11.74 acres of land from District SF-2 (Single
Family-Standard Lot)to District PF (Public Facilities). Joe Vining,Planning Director made the
staff presentation. The zoning ordinance requires church facilities in excess of 2,500 square feet
of accessory uses to be zoned PF(public facilities). The intent behind this regulation is to ensure
greater compatibility between large church complexes and adjacent residential uses. The
church's location along FM 1431, a major arterial, qualifies the tract for Public Facilities zoning. •
Under the current zoning ordinance, all requests for rezoning must be accompanied by an
approved Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA). The TIA is prepared under the assumption that the tract
will be developed according to its highest and best use. The highest and best use in the current
PF district is "office medical". Because the church has no immediate plans to change its existing
use, the City has agreed to allow the Church to attach a restrictive covenant to its property for the
City waiving the requirements of the TIA. The covenant restricts the current use of the tract to
church uses only. The covenant restricts total building square footage on the site to 27,500 sq.
feet. This allows for an expansion of approximately 6,000 square feet beyond the existing square
footage. Should the Church wish to expand its square footage beyond the 27,500 square feet
specified in the covenant, the City will not accept a site plan nor issue a building permit until a
TIA is approved. The restriction of totalsquare footage accomplishes the goal of limiting traffic
impacts without expressly stating each permitted accessory use. Staff is currently reviewing the
uses contained in the PF district. Staff may consider dividing the district into two zones (PF-1,
PF-2) in order to minimize the TIA requirements for smaller PF uses such as churches and
community service organizations.
NOVEMBER 25, 2003
Mayor Maxwell opened the public hearing. There being no public testimony the public
hearing was closed.
9.B.1. Consider public testimony regarding an ordinance amending Chapter 2, Animal
Control, of the Round Rock Code of Ordinances (1995 Edition). Paul Conner,Police Chief, Will
Hampton, Communications Director, and Rod Hampton, Police Department made the staff
presentation. The Police Department has been working on an update to the City's existing
animal control ordinance for more than a year. The current ordinance does little to help citizens
with neighbors who are irresponsible pet owners. Problems include"backyard breeders" causing
noise and odor complaints; dogs, sometimes in packs, running at large attacking people; and
people who own multiple unvaccinated, un-spayed or un-neutered cats that can spread disease
and contribute to our overpopulation of feral cats. From this summer through October, a series
of public meetings were conducted with residents to discuss these problems and possible
solutions. Input gained from these meetings was used to produce a final set of proposed changes.
The proposed ordinance changes place limits on the number of fowl that may be kept within city
limits, and the numbers of other allowable livestock are more clearly defined. In addition, these
• changes clarify the leash law (particularly regarding tied-out animals) as well as sanitation, noise,
cruelty, animal care/safety, and dangerous animal provisions. The proposed changes also update
the ordinance to reflect changes in Texas law. Adopting the proposed ordinance changes will
reflect changes in state law and allow the City to better address situations resulting from
irresponsible pet ownership. These changes will also improve the Police Department Animal
Control Unit's ability to perform its functions.
Mayor Maxwell opened the public hearing.
Kelsey Miscoe, 604 Parkview Drive, expressed her concerns regarding the limitations of
fowl.
Christopher Hunt, 612 Lime Rock Drive, expressed his concern regarding the limitations
on fowl. He also thanked staff and Council for all of their effort and time spent revising this
• ordinance.
Carl Fork, 501 S. Lake Creek Drive, informed the Council that he was very impressed
with the ordinance. Mr. Fork did suggest that the ordinance could also address the compliance of
registration and tags for animals in the City. He would also like to see the ordinance provide
funding for education of employees and citizens regarding the ordinance.
I
NOVEMBER 25, 2003
Jo Brownell-Watson, 2111 Logan Drive, expressed her concern about the amount of

(First Reading) Joe Vining, Planning and Community Development Director made the staff
presentation. These tracts lie immediately north of U.S. 79 and east and west of County Road
122. On December 5, 2002, these tracts were proposed to be zoned'C-1 (General Commercial)
with Palm Valley Overlay district zoning. The ordinance prepared for the zoning application
inadvertently omitted the language adopting the Palm Valley Overlay district. With City Council •
adoption,the tracts were zoned C-1 only. With the adoption of this ordinance, the tracts will be
zoned C-1 (General Commercial)with Palm Valley Overlay district zoning. The Planning and
Zoning Commission held two public hearings on August 28, 2002, and September 30, 2002,
respectively and recommended original zoning of C-1 (General Commercial)with Palm Valley
Overlay district zoning for these tracts. The City Council held an additional public hearing on
December 5, 2002. All public hearings,presentations and required public notices accurately
described the zoning proposal to be for C-1 (General Commercial) with Palm Valley Overlay
district zoning. The Palm Valley Overlay zoning district includes development and design
standards greater than those included in the C-1 (General Commercial) zoning district. These
standards establish and preserve the unique characteristics of the Palm Valley area, and to
implement the design goals of the Palm Valle Plan.

presentation. While attempting to remove the South East Ground Storage Tank from service for

station were to become disabled for any reason,we would lose the ability to provide adequate fire
flows to the southeast quadrant of our water distribution system within eight hours. The timely
completion of these improvements is critical to the public health, safety and welfare. Therefore,
proposals were requested from three firms that had successfully completed similar projects for

Ordinances (1995 Edition) adding Subsection 1.1700.1 to establish standards of care for the
Parks and Recreation Department's After-School Recreation Program. (First Reading)
Sharon Prete, Parks and Recreation Director made the staff presentation. It was
brought to staff's attention that the Texas Human Resources Code, Section 42.041 (b) (14),
isrequires that cities operating after- school recreational programs must annually adopt a
Standards of Care Ordinance. By adopting this Standards of Care Ordinance, the City will
be exempt from all state child-care licensing requirements. Several years ago the
Protective and Regulatory Services Agency took it upon itself to try to take city-operated
recreational programs, such as day camps and after school, under its governance umbrella.
Cities from around the state successfully proved that the purpose and composition of city-
organized recreation programs are entirely different from those offered by child-care
64

RESOLUTIONS:
14.A.1. Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute an Interlocal
Agreement with Williamson County for sharing resources related to the use of the
Automated Teleohone Notification (9-1-1) System. . This item was withdrawn from the
agenda at the request of staff.
14.B.1. Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute an agreement with
The Perryman Group for a sales tax economic impact study. David Kautz, Assistant City
Manager/Chief Financial Officer made the staff presentation. The Streamline Sales Tax
Project (SSTP), a coalition of states working to simplify sales tax rules nationwide and •
facilitate taxation of remote sales, requires that states adopt rules that source retail sales
for delivered merchandise to the point of destination. Texas and its local taxing jurisdictions
currently operate under rules that source sales for merchandise to the point of origin. Staff
believes that it is important to retain a prominent economist and conduct an economic
impact study. Reasons for conducting a study include:
a. The study would provide-expert analysis and presentation on the detrimental
effects on Round Rock of a sourcing rules change.
93
FEBRUARY 12, 2004
b. The study would be used to fill in any omissions of a study being conducted
by the state comptroller that are important to Round Rock.
C. The study would further support and strengthen testimony and information
Round Rock is to provide to state legislators.
A change to point-of-destination tax collection rules would have grave financial
consequences for the City of Round Rock because its largest retailers deliver virtually all of
their merchandise to consumers who are at locations outside of the city. More than $20
• million in annual sales tax collections by the City are at risk if the sourcing rules are
changed. Round Rock has collaborated with and proposes to share the costs of this study
with the Coalition for Appropriate Sales Tax Law Enactment, a small group of Texas cities
who are also adversely affected by a sourcing rules change. The cost of this study would be
$43,700 plus direct expenses (1/2 of$87,400).
RESOLUTION NO.
WHEREAS, the City of Round Rock desires to retain consulting services for a sales
tax economic impact study, and
WHEREAS, The Perryman Group has submitted an engagement letter to provide said
services, and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to enter into said engagement letter with The
Perryman Group, Now Therefore

EXHIBIT"A"
Statement by the Round Rock City Council
On December 19, 2002, the Round Rock City Council met in executive session to
deliberate and discuss the appointment of a new City Manager. Following that meeting,
the Statesman contended that a violation of the Texas Open Meetings Act had occurred
and filed a lawsuit against the City. To emphasize the City's and the Statesman's
continued commitment to open government, the parties have decided to settle the lawsuit
and the City to issue this public statement.
The Texas Open Meetings Act requires that a final action, decision, or vote on a
matter that has been deliberated in a closed meeting be made in an open meeting. During
the six hours of executive session, the Councilmembers did indicate their preferences for
certain candidates on a paper ballot and through an oral poll.
The Statesman contends that these types of activities violate the Open Meeting
laws. Conversely, the City contends that the manner in which they were taken did not
violate the Open Meeting laws. Rather than continue with time-consuming and
expensive litigation, the City Council has agreed to make public its sworn answers to
interrogatories submitted by the Statesman and to invite each citizen to review the facts
and decide for themselves.
The City acknowledges that the use of paper ballots and oral polls may create an
(�l appearance of a violation of Open Meeting laws. The City acknowledges the vital role
that open government plays and agrees that it will remain committed to open government,
including the Texas Open Meetings Act and the Public Information Act, as well as the
participation of the public in the meetings of the City. With the counsel .of the City
Attorney, the City Council will not take a final action, decision, or vote while in
executive session whether by paper ballot or otherwise.
It is important for the government to embrace open government in our society.
Working with public participation and knowledge is ultimately for the good of all citizens
committed to democratic ideals. The City of Round Rock supports this goal, and will do
all possible to ensure that citizens are fully informed participants in the governmental
process and that it abides by the Texas Open Meetings Act.

organizations. The exemption, if granted, would primarily benefit social and fraternal
organizations, such as the Masonic Lodge, that is not strictly charity but engages in certain
charitable activities. Cities and other local taxing entities have complete discretion to decide
whether or not to grant the exemption. Cities that choose not to grant the exemption will
not deny tax exemptions that traditional charities already enjoy under current law. The
amount of revenue loss to the City would depend on the number of organizations that apply
and qualify under the law and on the value of the real and personal property. Currently, the
Masonic Lodge has applied and received approval from the State. The S.P.J.S.T. Lodge is
also potentially eligible for the exempt status. Other organizations may qualify for the
exemption under the law in the future.

organizations need to follow through the State to give the Council a better understanding of
this exemption.

regarding regulations for Open House signage that would include the realtors regulating
themselves.

NOW THEREFORE, I, Nyle Maxwell, Mayor of the City of Round Rock do hereby
proclaim March 27, 2004 as
"ARBOR DAY"
in the City of Round Rock and urge all citizens to support the efforts to protect our trees and
woodlands and further urge all citizens to plant trees to gladden the heart and promote the
well-being of this and future generations.
PROCLAIMED this 25th day of March 2004.
PRESENTATION:
9.A.1. Consider a presentation on the Citywide Sidewalk Project.
Danny Halden, City Engineer made the staff presentation. In June of 2002, staff
• presented a plan to the City Council showing areas in various parts of the City where it was
felt that sidewalks would meet the needs of pedestrians. Collector roadways, routes to
parks, routes to schools, and links between previously constructed sidewalks for connectivity
within neighborhoods were the principal factors in determining where funds for sidewalk
improvements would best be spent. In addition, it would be prudent to spend funds in as
many areas of the City as possible as opposed to just concentrating on one neighborhood.
Staff was directed to proceed with expending the entire $1 million of bond funds in the first
14 3
MARCH 25, 2004
issuance of bonds in lieu of spending the funds over three issuances. Sidewalks have been
constructed or are in the process of construction in: Dove Creek area (Deerfoot Dr. and
Burnet St.); Greenslopes (Ferndale Dr.); Windy Park (Windy Park Dr.); Kensington (Oxford
Blvd. and Stratford Dr.); Oak Bluff Estates (Twin Ridge Parkway); The Hermitage
(Hermitage Dr., Latigo Trace, Fawn Ridge, and Hunters Trail); Sam Bass Trails (Passage
Lane and Hollow Tree Blvd.); Chisholm Valley (Frontier Tri, Old West Dr.,'Rawhide Dr., Trey
St., Cactus Dr. and Buckboard Blvd.); Cimarron (Oak Ridge Dr.); Egger Acres (Egger Ave.,
Nancy Dr., and Wayne Dr.). In the Round Rock West area, sidewalks are being planned for
St. Williams Dr., Parkview Dr. and Lake Creek Dr. to be paid for with sidewalk bond funds
and constructed in conjunction with the bond project for Various Round Rock West Streets.
All of these sidewalk improvements will expend approximately $750,000.00, including
engineering. The remainder of the sidewalk bond funds, approximately $250,000.00, will be
spent on various sidewalk"gap" projects to fill in areas that for one reason or another have
a disconnect. Approximately $25,000.00 has already been expended in Oak Hollow and The
Woods. "Gap" projects in South Creek and Bradford Park/High Country areas are imminent.
The implementation of sidewalks has met with mixed reaction from the public. It is not
uncommon to have residents on the same street offer diametrically opposed opinions -
"nobody walks here", " a lot of people walk here", "we need a sidewalk", "we don't need a
sidewalk'. Retrofitting sidewalks in existing neighborhoods presents many challenges. ,
Existing trees, landscaping, mailboxes, and grades are difficult and sensitive issues. In
addition, the regulations regarding accessibility must betaken into account, which are not
always taken favorably by residents.
PUBLIC HEARINGS:
10.A.1. Consider public testimony regarding the application filed by Federalists
Investments, LLC to rezone 0.108 acres of land from District SF-2 (Single Family-Standard
Lot) to District C-1 (General Commercial). (603 S. Mays) Jim Stendebach, Planning
Director made the staff presentation. This tract is located east of South Mays Street and
north of Nash Street. This 0.108-acre portion is surrounded by general commercial to the
north, south and west and complies with the General Plan 2000.
The tract was originally zoned SF-2 in 1969. Subsequently, the west portion of the tract
abutting South Mays was rezoned C-1 in 1979, this 0.108 acre tract was not included in that •
rezoning. This requested rezoning will unify this tract with the larger commercial tract.
Mayor Maxwell opened the public hearing. There being no public testimony, the
public hearing was closed.
10.B.1 Consider public testimony concerning the proposed amendments to Chapter
7, Transportation, of the City of Round Rock General Plan 2000. David Bartels, Project
Manager of Transportation Services made the staff presentation. Chapter 7, Transportation,
of the General Plan requires periodic amendments to ensure the residents are afforded an
r 14,9
MARCH 25, 2004
adequate future transportation system. Chapter 7 of the General Plan, along with the
Transportation Master Plan, provides the direction for developing a City transportation
system that serves the needs of all residents. Due to changing roadway requirements, both
internal and external to the City, amendments to Chapter 7, Transportation, of the 2000
General Plan were prepared. The amendments affect the text, roadway map and table and
include content and format changes, alignment changes, a new roadway, new planning
horizons and a bicycle element, which integrates arterial bicycle facilities with the Parks and
Recreation Department Trails Master Plan. This public hearing is required by paragraph
11.310, General Plan Amendments, of the Zoning Ordinance. In compliance with the
ordinance, the Planning and Zoning Commission held public hearings on September 17,
2003, January 14, 2004 and February 18, 2004 and subsequently submitted a favorable
recommendation to the City Council.
Mayor Maxwell opened the public hearing. There being no public testimony, the
public hearing was closed.

152
MARCH 25, 2004
collection fee on certain pre- and post-judgment municipal court fees and fines (First
Reading) David Kautz, Assistant City Manager/Chief Financial Officer made the staff
presentation. The Legislature recently approved the application of a fee for debts, accounts
receivable and amounts in cases in which the accused has failed to appear before the
Municipal Court. The City entered into a contract with a law firm to collect these items when
they become 60 days past due. Though the additional fee is authorized by the state law, a
•
prudent measure is to also have the City Council approve the fee. This action provides for a
formal and specific adoption of the statutory fee in addition to the authority provided by
state law.

13.A.2. Consider an ordinance amendina Chapter 7 of the Round Rock Code of
Ordinances, adding Section 7.512 concerning amendments to Section 7.500, Police
Disciplinary Procedure. (First Reading) Jim Nuse, City Manager made the staff presentation.
In June 2002, the City Council adopted an ordinance creating a comprehensive process to
address disciplinary action, and establishing a fair and impartial system to review the
resulting disciplinary action. In June 2003 the Council adopted an amendment to Chapter 7,
Sections 7.505, and 7.506 of the Code, which lengthened the amount of time required for
the Human Resources Director to appoint a disciplinary review panel and schedule a panel
hearing. The amendment also more clearly defined what ordinance policy, rule or order
violations may result in a disciplinary action. Prior to adopting Ordinance No. G-02-06-13-
13A1, no City policy addressed these issues as they related to Police Officers. Changes to •
address some implementation issues associated with the process outlined in the ordinance
are: A) Proposed amendment to the Ordinance will require a fourteen (14) day posting of
the public hearing on the Police Department bulletin board. B) Two separate public hearings,
and C) The second reading of the ordinance must take place at a separate regular meeting
than the first reading of the ordinance.

• 13.B.1. Consider an ordinance amending the 2003-2004 Operating Budget. (First
Reading) Cindy Demers, Finance Director made the staff presentation. This amendment
revises the FY 2003-2004 operating budget to reflect strategic operating adjustments for the
current fiscal year. General Fund highlights include partial year funding for the new
economic development initiative with the Round Rock Chamber of Commerce, funding for
additional operating personnel and funding for expenditures associated with the Streamline
Sales Tax Project, the Volunteer Center and Municipal Court. This revision also includes the
anticipated receipt of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) grant awarded to
the Fire Department as well as additional personnel for the water and wastewater Utility
Fund. From time to time the City's operating budget must be adjusted to reflect significant
revenue and expenditure changes for the year. Primarily increased sales tax revenues,
grant revenues and operational savings provide the available funds for this adjustment.
The Budget Revision #1 for Fiscal Year 2003-2004 follows:
• Revised Budget #1 Variance
General Fund
Revenues $57,403,737 $ 1,048,387

13.D.1. Consider an ordinance rezoning 4.86 acres of land from District PUD

(Second Reading) Jim Stendebach, Planning Director made the staff presentation. This
156
MARCH 25, 2004
tract is located north of FM 1431, east of the current Westside Church of Christ, and west of
Mayfield Ranch Boulevard. On November 25, 2003, the City Council approved the rezoning
of the Westside Church of Christ to PF (Public Facilities). The Westside Church of Christ
acquired this 4.86 acres subject tract, which was not included in the approved rezoning of
November 25, 2003. The zoning ordinance requires church facilities in excess of 2,500
square feet of accessory uses to be zoned PF (public facilities). The intent behind this •
regulation is to ensure greater compatibility between large church complexes and adjacent
residential uses. The church's location along FM 1431, a major arterial, qualifies the tract
for Public Facilities zoning. The Council also approved a restrictive covenant to limit Church
uses to a total of 27,500 square feet. Should the Church wish to expand beyond the agreed
27,500 square feet, then a City approved Traffic Impact Analysis would be required. The
tract is intended to provide access to Mayfield Ranch Boulevard and to accommodate future
Church uses. Staff recommended approval of the re-zoning so long as the restrictive
covenant current) recorded with the Count be amended to include the subject tract. The
y v �
covenant restricts the uses on the tract to church uses only and restricts total square
footage (for all tracts of the Westside Church of Christ) to 27,500 square feet.

*13.E.3. Consider an ordinance establishing an all-way stop at the intersection of
Bobby Jones Way and St. Andrews Drive. (First Reading) Tom Martin, Director of
Transportation Services made the staff presentation. This location.meets the warrants
contained in the Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (TMUTCD) for the
• establishment of a three way stop. Based on complaints from residents in the vicinity of this
intersection, citing excessive speeds of traffic on Bobby Jones Way as well as concerns for
the safety of children playing in front yards of houses on Bobby Jones Street, the
Department Transportation Services performed a study at this location. The study revealed
that the traffic on both streets was sufficient to warrant the placement of Stop Signs on
Bobby Jones Way to supplement the Stop Sign on St. Andrews Drive. Additionally, it was
found that approximately 57% of the traffic using Bobby Jones Street exceeded 34 mph.
The Council and staff discussed the necessity of this three way stop sign.

regulation, agreement, or voluntary agreement. The I&M Program is a mandatory
requirement listed in Table 1 of the CARP. The Austin/Round Rock MSA has prepared a
Clean Air Action Plan (CARP) with selected emission reduction measures that provides clean
air sooner, maintains local flexibility, and defers the effective date of non-attainment
designation for the 8-hour ozone standard. The emission reduction measure that will
contribute the biggest reduction in on-road emissions is the Inspection and Maintenance
(I&M) Program. The I&M Program has been included in the CAAP and is designed for use in
the MSA's three urbanized counties (Hays, Travis, and Williamson). Implementation is
contingent upon approval from the commissioner's court of each county and from the city
z
council of the largest city in each county. This is a well-defined stated program with a high
• degree of certainty regarding quantifying reductions, implementation, and enforcement.
RESOLUTION NO.
WHEREAS, the City of Round Rock has previously entered into an Early Action
Compact Agreement ("Agreement") with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) in order to proactively and
effectively address the region's air quality issues, and
WHEREAS, the City of Round Rock is in support of the Clean Air Action Plan that
consists of numerous state and locally implemented measures to improve the area's air
quality, including a motor vehicle emissions inspection and maintenance program, Now
Therefore
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROUND ROCK, TEXAS THAT,
17 :n
PARCH 25, 2004
1. The City of Round Rock will be included in the state's Motor Vehicle Emissions
Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) Program, which will initially inspect vehicle emissions
utilizing On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) and Two-Speed Idle (TSI) tests, and which is adopted
pursuant to the Texas Health and Safety Code §382.302 as part of the Austin/Round Rock
MSA Clean Air Action Plan for the Early Action Compact.
2. The I/M Program will be implemented in the City of Round Rock on or after
April 1, 2005, but no later than December 31, 2005.
3. The TCEQ will perform an evaluation of the program after two years of
operation, consult with the jurisdiction that initially requested the I/M Program and,
depending on the results of the evaluation, make changes to improve the program's
effectiveness, if necessary. •
4. If, after a minimum of four years, the I/M Program, as implemented, does not
achieve the desired effects or is determined to be unnecessary, any participating county,
and the largest city in that county, can petition TCEQ to terminate the Program in that
county.
5. If the Early Action Compact for the Austin/Round Rock MSA is invalidated for
any reason prior to the adoption of the Austin/Round Rock MSA Clean Air Action Plan For the
Early Action Compact into the State Implementation Plan, this I/M Program will be
terminated as well, unless the same participating local jurisdictions that initially requested
the I/M Program otherwise agree to maintain it.
6. Pursuant to the Health and Safety Code §382.302, this resolution is effective
only if TCEQ determines that the Austin/Round Rock MSA Clean Air Action Plan for the Early
Action Compact is adequate and provides written notification of its adequacy to the Clean
Air Action Plan signatories.

Section 7.04 (c) of the City Charter, states that: If a petition is'certified insufficient,
and the petitioners' committee does not elect to amend or request City Council review under

ACTION: The motion carried unanimously.
6.A.2. Consider a presentation regarding the economic data on Round Rock
restaurants and bars. Jim Nuse, City Manager, noted that at the February 2004 Council
work session, the Council asked staff to gather data regarding the economic health of the
Round Rock restaurant and bar industry. Staff prepared the report with sales and tax •
information obtained from the State Comptroller's Office. The intent of this report is to
provide and summarize factual data as reported to the State Comptroller by the
establishments in the industry.
David Kautz, Assistant City Manager reported that City staff has collected taxable
sales data for local restaurants and bars for the period from 1998 (first calendar quarter)
through 2003 (second calendar quarter). This is the most recent data available from the
Texas State Comptroller and is public record. This report from the Comptroller provides a
history and breakdown by quarter for a particular industry code as reported by the entity. It
provides gross sales, (which are all sales including taxable, non-taxable and mixed
beverages), taxable sales and number of establishments reporting by quarter. It is not
broken down to the individual restaurant or bar level. Additionally, the Comptroller will not
break u I codes 1 D ' i
out sales to c es 58 3 rink n .Places Beer and or Wine Only) or 5814 (Drinking
( 9 / Y) ( 9
Places Selling Alcoholic Beverages). These codes have been thus far restricted for the years •
2002 and 2003. The information provided by the Comptroller shows Round Rock restaurant
and bars Standard Industry Code 58 gross sales revenue and number of establishments
reporting has continued to increase since 1998. The data was presented to the Council in
summary graphic form along with supporting detail.
Cindy Demers, Finance Director outlined the specific details of the report. The data
indicates that overall, Round Rock's restaurant and bar industry continues to expand and
the number of choices patrons have in Round rock also continues to expand. Additionally,
during this same time period, Round Rock's estimated population has increased an average
of 8.6% per year. Staff also reviewed the City's mixed drink tax receipts by quarter and
mixed drink tax by month by establishment in Round Rock for the last two years (January
2002 through December 2003. This information is public record. This data shows that Round
Rock's mixed beverage tax collection continues to increase each year. In order to respond to •
the report presented to the Council by the Round Rock Restaurant Group, staff reviewed an
additional source of sales tax information. This additional information is obtained through
special reports the City can request from the Comptroller indicating sales tax data for
certain businesses in Round Rock. This is confidential information that provides a breakdown
of sales tax by month by taxpayer ID. Staff is restricted to using this information for
economic forecasting and cannot divulge detail information about a particular taxpayer. In
summary, there are many factors that can impact gross sales for a business. Because the
179
APRIL 8, 2004
source of the information provided in the report is from the State Comptroller's Office, staff
believes it is the best factual data available to the City regarding Round Rock's restaurant
and bar industry sales and tax revenue. Overall, the data shows that restaurant and bar
sales in Round Rock continue to increase each year with an increasing number of
establishments also opening in Round Rock.

presentation. The Council approved an agreement with DCI on October 9, 2003 for national
media services. Deemed important to the Economic Development effort, Development
Counsellors International (DCI) was contracted for a second year. This partnership
capitalizes on the Public Relations momentum this effort has generated.
Andy Levine of DCI gave an update on the public relations efforts that has been
conducted for Round Rock.
3.6.1. Consider a presentation concerning the Final Draft of the 2004 Water System
Master Plan, and the status of the City's water system in preparation for peak summer
demands. Tom Clark, Utilities Director made the staff presentation. An adequate water
supply is essential for industrial, commercial and residential development and plays a major
• role in insurance rates for the City. Safe drinking water is essential to the health of the
community, and adequate water system pressure is necessary for fire protection. A great
deal of preparation is underway ensuring the City's water system will be able to keep up
with summer demands. HDR Engineering has prepared the final draft of the Water
Distribution System Master Plan, and Mr. Grant gave a brief overview of the following.

193
APRIL 22, 2004
Mayor Maxwell read the following proclamation and presented it to Kim Lutz and Don

WHEREAS, water is a basic and essential need for every living creature; and
WHEREAS, the threat of infectious disease to our citizens has been minimized
through the proper operation and maintenance of the City's public water system; and
WHEREAS, all residential and industrial development in our City depends on the
availability and quality of water; and
WHEREAS, the City's fire protection capability depends upon an adequate water
supply; and
WHEREAS, the problems and challenges of meeting future water supply needs are
many and growing in complexity; and
WHEREAS, the ever increasing need for domestic water makes expansion of storage
supply and distribution facilities essential; and
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Nyle Maxwell, Mayor of the City of Round Rock, Texas do
hereby proclaim the week of May 2-8, 2004 as
"NATIONAL DRINKING WATER WEEK"
and call upon each citizen to help protect our source waters from pollution, practicing
water conservation, and getting involved in local water issues.
PROCLAIMED this 22nd day of April, 2004.
8.A. Consider proclaiming May as Hispanic Cultural Awareness month.
Mayor Maxwell read the appropriate proclamation and presented it to Alicia Johnson
and Efrain Davila, President of EI Amistad.
WHEREAS, through the years, Hispanic Americans have played an integral role in the
Nation's success in science, the arts, business, government, and every other field of
endeavor, and their talent, creativity, and achievements continue to energize our national
life; and
WHEREAS, a number of events will bring focus to the very large and proud Hispanic
culture during the month of May; and
WHEREAS, El Amistad Club will help contribute to this cultural awareness by
• conducting its very successful "Fiesta Amistad" during the Memorial Day weekend; and
WHEREAS, this Fiesta is arguably the biggest annual draw of individuals to Round
Rock among the many festivals conducted in all of Williamson County,
NOW THEREFORE, I, Nyle Maxwell, Mayor of the City of Round Rock, Texas do hereby
proclaim the month of May as
"HISPANIC CULTURAL AWARENESS MONTH"
in the City of Round Rock and urge everyone to partake in the many cultural events that will
be held throughout the month.
PROCLAIMED this 22nd day of April 2004.
9.A. Continuation of presentations not addressed during the Work Session.
All of the presentations were addressed at the Work Session.
93.1. Consider a presentation by Jeff Montgomery &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. The statistically valid survey gives
us a snapshot of public opinion about a wide variety of issues, from the direction the City is
lip
heading to how we're doing taking care of weedy lots, and gives us an objective review of
the success or failure of City services. The City uses the results to help direct resources and
for planning purposes.
Jeff Montgomery gave the following overview of the survey. This survey was
conducted from February 10-16, 2004 and tested 400 residents of Round Rock, Texas. The
margin of error is plus or minus 4.9 percent.
• 76% believe the City of Round Rock is headed in the right direction, and
10.5% said it is headed in the wrong direction - so the City is maintaining the
strong position it attained here in 2002.
194
APRIL 22, 2004
• 44% said the quality of life in Round Rock is getting better—a small
improvement over 2002 (just above the margin of error), in that even fewer
people this year say that the quality of life is getting worse. The 2002
numbers in turn were an improvement over 2000.
• This year the top three city services, all within the margin of error of each
other in terms of positive rating, were the fire department, trash collection,
and police. Fire departments always tend to do well, but we continue to be
impressed by the unusually high marks received by your trash collection
service.
• The library might have joined the top tier of city services if not for the fact i
that 16.8% had no opinion of it. Still, the library's "excellent" rating alone was
second only to the fire departments.
• 55.9% give street maintenance a positive rating and 13.9% a negative rating,
continuing last year's small, steady improvement in this area.
• The negative rating for transportation planning continues to drop, from 51.5%
in 2000, to 41.1% in 2002, to 29.2% this year. Although the positive rating
has not seen a matching increase, this is still very much a step in the right
direction. However, transportation planning remains in last place as the least
positively viewed city service.
• The vast majority-76.8%—said moving city elections to November would
make no difference to them. However, 20% said it would make them more
likely to vote in city and school district elections, while only 3.3% said it
would make them less likely. Therefore, it is possible the switch could
increase turnout by making voting more convenient for a substantial number
of citizens.
• 51% said the smoking ban in restaurants has made them more likely to eat
out in Round Rock. 11.5% said it made them less likely.
• 72.5% said the service they receive when they call the City on the telephone
for services of information was excellent or good. •
• When we ask for the most important issue facing the city, traffic control is
now tied for first place with growth management, rather than in its usual
commanding lead. That speaks very well of the city's efforts at traffic control
in these years—they are working. However, a related issue—street and road
maintenance—has more than doubled as a point of concern since 2002, which
suggests that is an issue to keep an eye on.
• 68.5% agreed that there is more construction than usual on the roads they
drive frequently around town.
• The traffic situation on state roads and highways receives an abysmal positive
rating of 13.8% and a negative rating of 54.8%. That is very similar to 2002.
• When it came to the job the City is doing in managing traffic, this year's
positive rating of 46.6% and negative rating of 52.6%, while an improvement
over 2000's nadir, remain troubling. 68.3% say Round Rock traffic is getting
worse.
• On the more positive side, 49.3% rate traffic in their neighborhoods
positively—that is up slightly from the 2002.
• As in past years, local TV news retains its dominance here as a source for city
news. Next in importance, are friends, utility bill enclosures, and the Austin
American Statesman. •
• The City Beat ad and homeowners' association newsletters, which we had not
asked about in previous surveys, turned out to be a source of city news for a
significant number of people.
• 62.4% said the city is doing a good or excellent job of listening to and
responding to the needs of citizens. That is eight points higher that 2002,
which was about ten points higher than in 2000, so these numbers are
moving strongly upwards.
58.5% show some interest in paying utility bills or traffic tickets on the City's
website, although that number was cut in half when we added a transaction
fee. However, 80.8% expressed at least some interest in being able to place
city work requests or sign up for city recreation programs online.

PUBLIC HEARINGS:
10.A.1. Consider public testimony concerning proposed amendments to Chapter
11, Zoning, of the Round Rock Code of Ordinances (1995 Edition) to add a Manufactured
Housing District. Jim Stendebach, Planning Director made the staff presentation.
Manufactured Housing is not addressed in the current Zoning Ordinance. This amendment
• will provide for Manufactured Housing and will ensure that the quality and compatibility of
this type of development will be appropriately located and regulated. The proposed zoning
district would permit the development of single-family subdivisions that would permit the
placement of one manufactured home on a single-family lot within the proposed zoning
district. Both the lot and home would be available for fee simple ownership. The
development standards would be the same as a standard single-family development with
limited differences that would recognize some unique features of a manufactured house.
Mayor Maxwell opened the public hearing. There being no public testimony, the
public hearing was closed.
10.A.2. Consider public testimony regarding an application filed by David Lester to
rezone 0.257 acres of land from District SF-2 (Single Family-Standard Lot) to District C-2
(Local Commercial). (1510 Sam Bass Road) Jim Stendebach, Planning Director made the
• staff presentation. The tract is located on Sam Bass Road and is part of the Westside
Residential Subdivision. The proposed rezoning is for local commercial, which is compatible
with the adjacent lot to the west and the existing neighborhood setting along Sam Bass
Road. The proposed use of a beauty shop will not adversely impact the existing traffic load
on Sam Bass Road. On March 24, 2004, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended
the rezoning of this tract of land. The proposed land use complies with the General Plan
2000.
Mayor Maxwell opened the public hearing. There being no public testimony, the
public hearing was closed.

Open Space Master Plan's section addressing trails did not fully meet the needs of the
197
APRIL 22, 2004
Department from a planning and implementation standpoint. A comprehensive study and
plan was necessary to guide the planning and development of the City's future trails
system(s). The new document will fully meet these current and future needs. Based on the
most recent Citywide Surveys, trails have been identified as the number one request by
citizens for recreation opportunities. From this, the City-Wide Trail System CIP Program was
• formed. The Parks and Recreation Department (PARD) was tasked with developing hike and
bike trails for recreation, as well as connectivity. Last year, the City-Wide Trails Master Plan
Project was started, and is now complete. The Plan is now ready to be added to the
Comprehensive Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan and implemented.

RESOLUTION:
3.A.1. Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute an electrical power
purchase contract with a Retail Electric Provider to provide electric power to the City.
David Kautz, Assistant City Manager/Chief Financial Officer and Cindy Demers, Finance
Director made the staff presentation. Since deregulation of the electric market, the City of
Round Rock has been a member of the Governmental Aggregation Project (GAP). GAP was
formed for the purposes of purchasing electricity on behalf of its members for use in the
public facilities. The services provided by GAP also include assisting with bill monitoring and
contract enforcement. In addition, GAP keeps the members informed of changes in the
PUCT rules or cases that affect them and intervene in cases when appropriate. Other
members of GAP include the cities of Missouri City, Wharton, West University Place, Farmers
Branch, Taylor, Clifton, Uvalde and Gatesville as well as the Oak Manor Municipal Utility
• District. GAP has previously completed two requests for proposals process with REPS to
provide electricity in the competitive market and negotiated two contracts for power with
TXU Energy in 2002 and First Choice Power in 2003.
The City's current contract with First Choice Power expires on December 31, 2004.
However, current trends in the cost of natural gas and corresponding increases in bids by
retail electric providers suggest that GAP should request bids that will insulate the City from
these trends through June 2005. This resolution grants the Mayor the authority to execute
the negotiated contract that results from this process. In addition, this does not bind the
City to any agreement or course of action.
RESOLUTION NO.
WHEREAS, under Senate Bill 7 of the 76th Legislature (1999) the Texas Legislature
deregulated the purchase of electric power in the State of Texas effective January 1, 2002,
and
WHEREAS, the Texas Local Government Code, Chapter 303, Section 303.001
• authorizes political subdivisions to join together to create a political subdivision corporation
to aggregate their power loads as customers to purchase power, and
WHEREAS, the City of Round Rock ("City"), in order to aggregate it's power load with
other cities, joined the Governmental Aggregation Project, Inc. ("GAP"), a political
subdivision corporation aggregator registered with the Texas Public Utility Commission
("PUC"), and
WHEREAS, GAP is in the process of negotiating a competitive Electrical Power
Purchase Contract on behalf of its members to purchase electric power with several Retail
Electric Providers ("REP"), all of which are properly registered with the PUC, and
WHEREAS, in order for the City to timely execute an electric power supply contract
with a REP to obtain the best price in the volatile energy market, this Resolution authorizes
the execution of such a contract by the City to purchase power from a Retail Electric
Provider, as recommended by GAP, provided the terms of this Resolution are complied with,
Now Therefore
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROUND ROCK, TEXAS,
21
MAY 11, 2004
Section 1: The Mayor may execute, on behalf of the City, a contract to purchase
power between the City and a Retail Electric Provider in accordance with the terms of this

information is available at the time of the execution of the Contract; or
(b) if "price to beat" information is not available, then the price per KWH
shall be competitive as to other known KWH charges, considering the
terms of the Contract and the competitive KWH Contract terms;
(iii) the Contract provides for no liability to the City, except as to the electrical
power used by the City; and
(iv) that the REP recommend by GAP was selected in a competitive process, in
which the recommended REP offers the most competitive and beneficial
Contract to the City when considering the following factors:
(a) price per KWH;
(b) the amount, if any, of premiums to be paid by the City for using either
less or more electrical power than its historic power usage; and
(c) ability to provide detailed, consolidated billing for the City and to

PRESENTATIONS:
6.A.1. Consider a presentation from the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning
Organization (CAMPO) concerning the Mobility 2030 Transportation Plan. Tom Word, Chief
of Public Works Operations made the staff presentation. CAMPO is currently developing the
Mobility 2030 Transportation Plan and would like the City to be a part of the process. This
presentation was to familiarize the Council with the 2030 plan development process and to
ensure that the CAMPO Policy Board is aware of the City's transportation concerns.
Mike Aulick, Executive Director of CAMPO gave an overview of the Plan. The long
range Metropolitan Transportation Plan specifies a set of investments and strategies to
maintain, manage, and improve the surface transportation system in the three county
region of Williamson, Travis, and Hays Counties in Central Texas.
CAMPO last updated the region's Metropolitan Transportation Plan in 2000 (with
• subsequent revisions, the most recent in March 2004). Federal regulations require that
transportation plans cover at least a 20-year time horizon, and the last plan included
forecasts and identified transportation program areas and projects into the future to 2025.
The CAMPO Mobility 2030 Plan envisions a transportation system that will enhance
quality of life in the three county areas by appropriately balancing mobility with regional
goals relating to the economy, the environment, and social equity. The Plan includes a
2,.3_6
MAY 27, 2004
range of projects and programs to implement the vision. Some of those projects are as
follows:
• An interregional passenger rail system connecting Austin and San Antonio;
• A regional rapid transit system, including two regional passenger rail lines and six
new bus rapid transit lines;
0 1200 additional lane miles of freeways, parkways, or toll ways, including completion
of SH 45 (N), SH 45 (S), SH 130, and US 183 A and upgrades or improvements to IH
35, US 183 (N), US 183 (S), US 290 (E), US 290 (W), SH 71 (E), SH 71 (W), Loop 1® 0
Loop 360, FM 110, FM 734, and RM 620;
• 2232 additional lane miles of arterial roadway capacity; and
• Approximately 145 million dollars in stand alone bicycle and pedestrian projects.
In addition to capital projects, this Plan recommends programs and actions to
increase the efficiency of the transportation system, to help manage transportation demand,
to increase safety and security, and to improve regional air quality.
Capital Metropolitan Transit Authority is currently involved in a major update of the
long-range transit plan for their service area. Once Capital Metro's planning process is
complete, changes will need to be made to the public transportation element of the CAMPO
Mobility 2030 Plan.
The CAMPO Mobility 2030 Plan will allow the region to meet federal planning
requirements and follow through on commitments made during previous plan updates.
Mobility 2030 is also an interim step toward developing a more state of the art regional
transportation-planning program in Central Texas. The May 2004 review draft is a starting
point for a discussion about the future of the region's transportation system. Over the
coming months, CAMPO will seek public input, and will work to revise this draft. The CAMPO
Transportation Policy Board will adopt a final version of the CAMPO Mobility 2030 Plan in the
spring of 2005. Several aspects of the May 2004 review draft warrant special attention. In
particular the following:
Public Transportation Element: The public review draft of the CAMPO Mobility 2030
Plan includes preliminary information for both the Capital Metro service area and the Austin-
San Antonio Commuter Rail District. Capital Metro is engaged in a major update of its long-
range transit plan, and the Austin-San Antonio Commuter Rail District is engaged in an
update of the feasibility study for commuter rail published in 1999. Once these planning
processes are complete, changes will be maide to the transit element of the CAMPO Mobility •
2030 Plan. Refer to Section 4.2, Public Transportation System for more information.
Financial Constraint: Under federal requirements, the CAMPO Mobility . 2030 Plan
must be financially constrained (i.e. revenue must be "reasonably expected" to be available
over the life of the plan that would cover the costs of the transportation projects, operation,
and maintenance called for under the plan). The first review draft of the CAMPO Mobility
2030 Plan represents a first cut at developing a financially constrained plan. In this first cut,
237
MAY 27, 2004
total project costs exceed anticipated revenues. The financial analysis chapter provides a
menu of options for eliminating the gap presented by this plan. The final version of the Plan
that is adopted in the spring of 2005 will be fully financially constrained.
System Performance: Not all performance indicator data were available in advance of
publication of the draft that was presented. The second review draft and final plan will
• incorporate additional performance data for any future transportation networks that were
recommended.
In conclusion, prior to publishing the second draft Plan, CAMPO will:
• Consider public and agency input received
• Analyze alternate transportation improvements
• Incorporate a revised transit network
• Ensure the: plan is consistent with,near-term toll road program
• Prioritize transportation projects'.
• Refine the plan to be financially constrained
The Council asked several questions of Mr. Aulick regarding the Plan.
6.6.1. Consider a presentation regarding a proposal to license open house signs in
public rights-of-way. Jim Nuse, City Manager made the staff presentation. The current sign
ordinance is strictly enforced. No signs are permitted in the City owned rights-of-way,
except the new-home kiosk. The realtors believe that, due to the slow economy, limited
access to the rights-of-way are necessary for re-sales to compete with new homes.
Members of the Real Estate Committee approached the City to request `Open House' signs
• be permitted under the sign ordinance. Staff has prepared an ordinance that would permit
these signs at certain times and under certain conditions.
Steve Sheets, City Attorney outlined the purpose and terms of the agreement. He
added that the cost to license open house signs in public rights-of-way will be paid for by
the program participants.
The Council discussed the following items:
- enforcement of the license
- whether an address of the home for sale should be on the sign
- whether open house signs sell houses
- the locations where the sign can be placed
- if this was a marketing tool, and
- how this would benefit the City economically.

Road, just east of North Mays Street. The lots were zoned single family with the adoption of
the original zoning ordinance (No. 1296). The center lot has an existing house, which will
be converted to a Day Care Center. A day care center is permitted in the office zone. The
other two lots have no proposed construction improvements. These three lots are
surrounded by general commercial and public facility districts. Approval of the rezoning to
office would provide compatibility of land use for this locality.

proposing to unify the existing 24 acres of C-1 and the undeveloped 17 acres from PUD No.
35 to the Public Facilities District. The Public Facility zoning district permits hospital and
medical offices by right thus bringing the current hospital facility into'compliance with the

Mona Ryan, Community Development Coordinator made the staff presentation.
Campbell-Hogue & Associates in a joint venture with the Capital Area Housing Finance
Corporation and Chandler's Cove Retirement Apartments is proposing a mixed income
development for seniors, with incomes ranging from 40% of median to market. Chandler's Cove
will consist of 90 single story apartment units, 72 (80%) of which will be rent restricted
according to the median family incomes established by the Department of Housing and Urban
Development with the balance of 18 (20%) units at market rents. Chandler's Cove Retirement •
Apartments will be financed utilizing low income housing tax credit equity and conventional and
supplemental below market financing. The estimated total cost of the development (though
this number will continue to change as refinements are made to the budget) is approximately
$7.7 million. The current estimate is that the project will generate $391,000 in annual tax
credits which at an estimated price of 80� would generate equity in the amount of $3.1 million.
The balance of the costs would be financed utilizing a conventional FNMA permanent loan is
$3.55 million and a HOME or Housing Trust Fund loan in the amount of $500,000. The
24 -5

PRESENTATIONS:
3.A.1. Consider a presentation concerning the Hazard Mitigation Planning Process.
Keith Tanner, Fire Marshal made the staff presentation. Hazards are defined as those
incidences, potential or previously experienced, that affects the safety of the public. For the
purposes of the study, hazards include major spring and winter storms, storage and release
of hazardous materials, major accidents on roads or railroads, dam failure, and similar types
of hazards. Following the identification of hazards, action plans were deyeloped to minimize
the effects of hazards whenever possible. As of this point, staff has received positive public
input on these plans. Members of the Hazard Mitigation Planning team include staff
members from throughout the city who serve in some capacity in the Emergency Operations
Center, representatives from the Williamson County Improvement District #1 (dam
• operations), the Williamson County and Cities Health District, and others who have
information or responsibilities related to hazard mitigation. In compliance with FEMA, the
city is developing a Hazard Mitigation plan. This presentation is the first step in the process.
The Council received an overview on the draft document, which will be sent to the state's
Department of Emergency Management for review and comment. Once it is returned to us
and edited, a final copy will be presented to the City Council for approval. The expected
time frame for this last step is Winter 2004/2005.
3.B.1. Consider a presentation concerning the Subdivision Ordinance revisions.
Jim Stendebach, Planning Director made the staff presentation. To date, three focus groups
with the development community have been held to review and solicit input for the draft.
The focus groups consisted of local and regional engineers, developers, utility
representatives, and representatives from the Capital Area Home Builders Association. The
• majority of comments received from the focus groups have been incorporated into the draft
ordinance, or reasons have been provided as to why they could not be included. On April
28, 2004, at its regular meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing
and unanimously recommended the ordinance to City Council for adoption.
The following items represent the key changes to the existing Subdivision Ordinance.
• Proposal to eliminate the requirement for a Concept Plan for tracts less than 5 acres
within the city limits. (Section 8.204).
248
JUKE 10, 2004
• Proposal to eliminate public hearings for plats, with the exception of those Replats
which require a public hearing by state law. Notification and public hearing will
continue to be required for Concept Plans. (Section 8.204.6).
• Proposal to include a procedure for a one cycle final plat. The procedure is identified
as the "minor subdivision final plat." (Section 8.207).
• Proposal to provide for administrative approval of public easement vacations. (Section
8.211).
• Proposal to require a tree survey to identify significant trees at the preliminary plat
stage. (Section 8.205.4).
• Proposal to require mandatory parkland dedication. (Section 8.302).
• Proposal to allow City Council to modify the requirements of the Subdivision •
Ordinance for those non-recorded subdivisions which existed in their present
configuration prior to January 1, 1970. (Section 8.113).
• Proposal to include a new subdivision fee structure. (Section 8.116).
• Proposal to require a Traffic Impact Analysis prior to all stages of platting. (Section
8.403).
• Proposal to increase street right-of-way widths to accommodate but not require the
planting of street trees. Reduced setbacks were included in the 2002 Zoning
Ordinance revision to accommodate the increased right-of-way widths.
• Proposal to require sidewalks along streets in industrial subdivisions. (Section
8.405).
• Proposal to include separate standards for rural subdivisions. (Section 8.421).
• Proposal that plats show the limits of the Ultimate 100-year floodplain for all
waterways draining fifty or more acres by hatch marking the area on the plat.
No fences, structures, storage or fill shall be placed within the limits of the Ultimate 100
year floodplain. No portion of the minimum lot area (6500 square feet) for any lot required
by this Code shall be located within the Ultimate 100-Year Floodplain. (8.604.Sections 1 -
6). The existing Subdivision Ordinance has been in place since 1969 with minor
amendments having been made since that time. Changed conditions and outdated
standards warrant new subdivision regulations. •

Creek Golf Course market study and property valuation. David Kautz, Assistant City
Manager/Chief Financial Officer made the staff presentation. The Forest Creek Golf Creek
(FCGC) was constructed in 1990 and opened for play in 1991. Since that time the FCGC
has been operated as an upper-end daily fee course. The City has chosen to use a
management company to run the course during that time. The current agreement with "On
Course Strategies" is due to expire at the end of April 2005. With that in mind, the City
staff feels that it would be beneficial to have an out firm take a comprehensive look at the
long-range future of the City's best interest and FCGC. The total cost of this agreement is
$24,000.00 plus reimbursement costs not to exceed $4,000.00.
• RESOLUTION NO.

13.B.1. Consider a resolution authorizing the Mavor to execute a contract with
Fencecrete America, Inc. for the McNeil Road Corridor Enhancement Project. Tom Word,
Chief of Public Works Operations made the staff presentation. The City received response
from two bidders. The low base bid is below the Engineer's estimate and within funds
available for the project. Fencecrete America, Inc. submitted the low base bid. McNeil is
different from the other corridors in this G. O. Bond program with the parallel railroad
business industry, and residential along the right-of-way, therefore a program needs to be
developed and tailored for this project. The existing wood fence has been a source of
complaints from the public traveling along McNeil Road for many years. This project will
improve one of the oldest corridors in the City of Round Rock. This Council Action would
award the construction contract for replacement of the small residential lot fencing along
the north right-of-way line as phase two of the McNeil Road Project being Segment II of the
Corridor Enhancement Program in the 2001 G. O. Bond Proposition. Construction is
proposed to replace the existing small residential lot wood fencing along the north side of
McNeil Road with the more substantial fence structure. Terry Hagood, with Fisher Hagood
also gave an overview of TxDot's information of how the new fence would not greatly affect
the sound of the train and traffic due to the height. The total cost of this contract is
$328,048.50. ,
RESOLUTION NO.
WHEREAS, the City of Round Rock has duly advertised for bids for the McNeil Road
Corridor Enhancement Project, and

13.B.2. Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a contract with
Austin Filter Systems, Inc. for the construction of channel restoration and stabilization
downstream from Hester's Crossing. Tom Word, Chief of Public Works Operations made the
staff presentation. The City received bids from two firms. The low base bid is below the
• Engineer's estimate and within funds available for the project. Austin Filter Systems, Inc.
submitted the low base bid of$95,159.00. The unnamed tributary is eroding, transporting
sediment downstream, and causing significant damage to private property. This damage
includes the loss of parking pavement with curbing, possible damage to an existing
wastewater clean-out, and the potential loss of a fence separating a Day Care Center from a
vertical drop into the drainage ditch by a few inches. In light of the safety issues with the
Day Care Center and a steady increase in complaints from the adjacent property owners,
the City of Round Rock has assumed the responsibility for the maintenance of this ditch.
This project is not associated with any type of development and will not increase storm
water runoff. Council Action for this award of the construction contract would allow
restoration and stabilization of approximately 400 linear feet of an unnamed tributary to
Lake Creek. The project is located between Hester's Crossing and Old West Drive, west of
IH 35.
• RESOLUTION NO.

13.C.1. Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a Contract for
i
Engineering Services with Camp, Dresser & McKee, Inc. for a Membrane Water Treatment
Facility at the Lake Creek Well Site. Tom Clark, Director of Utilities made the staff
presentation. The quality of water from our existing groundwater wells has been steadily
declining over the years. Our groundwater wells are a valuable source of water to the City,
capable of producing from 4 to 8 (million gallons per day) mgd. The work under this
contract is to select the type of membranes that will be used, prepare preliminary design
drawings, specifications and a preliminary engineering report required for the future
construction of a Membrane Water Treatment Plant at our existing Lake Creek site. The
project will not be constructed until water quality of the wells deteriorates to the point
requiring the membrane plant be installed. This resolution is required due to the contract
time not being extended prior to the original January 1, 2004 termination date. The project
is currently scheduled to finish in July 2005. There is no change to the original contract
amount. The cost of this contract is $40,000.00.

13.C.5. Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a Contract for
Engineering Services with Baker-Aicklen &Associates, Inc. for the East Water Transmission
Line, Phase 3-A (Redbud Lane) Tom Clark, Director of Utilities made the staff presentation.
The recent Water Distribution Master Plan calls for this line to be installed from US 79 to
Forest Creek Drive in order to meet water demands in the southeast portion of the City. In
the previous Master Plan, the line was not required until 2012, but is needed because of the
accelerated growth experienced in the southeast part of town. Staff generally requests
proposals for this type of work, however, Baker Aicklen have done surveying and design of
the roadway in Redbud Lane and this will allow for a shorter construction schedule, close
coordination of the pipeline and roadway project and cost savings by preventing redundant
work. Because of the impending roadway construction, the water line needs to be installed
• prior to the roadway. This will improve the water distribution system and reliability in the
area. This resolution is required to add to the existing contract with Baker Aicklen &
Associates, for the design and engineering of the 16" East Water Transmission Main along
Red Bud Lane. The total cost of this contract is $99,280.00.

PRESENTATIONS:
6.A.1. Consider a presentation reaardina a draft Financial Management Policy_ David
Kautz, Assistant City Manager/Chief Financial Officer gave an introduction of the City's
Financial Management Policy. Cindy Demers, Finance Director gave an overview of the City's
Financial Management Policy. The City's relatively high reliance on sales tax as an
operations funding source warrants a review of the financial policies surrounding the use of
these sales tax funds. As a result of the City's continued and growing reliance on sales tax
revenue to fund general operations, a formalized policy containing several interconnected
financial management components is necessary to comprehensively manage and
communicate both the short and long-term financial objectives of the City. The Objectives
of this policy are to provide a consistent, long-term approach for the fiscal management of •
the City's operating funds to balance revenue requirements with the service needs of a
growing population. Specifically, this policy is intended to help the City avoid the risk of a
combined high property tax rate and a high reliance on sales tax.
Components of this policy include the following:
Sales Tax Component - General Fund sales tax revenues derived directly from Dell,
Inc. shall be reviewed regularly and limited to a growth rate of no more than 2% over prior
2 61
JUNE 24, 2004
year budgeted collections. In no event should Dell sales tax revenue allocated for general
fund operations budgetarily exceed 50% of total operating sales tax revenue. Any excess
collections over the established cap in a fiscal year from Dell sales tax shall be transferred
to the general self-financed fund and utilized and, budgeted for the non-recurring programs
as approved by the City Council. Examples of programs include:
;• Fund capital improvements and/or one-time expenditures as approved by the
City Council to minimize the need to borrow additional funds.
• Retire existing general debt.
Determination of the use of the excess funds will be made in conjunction with these policy
guidelines. Funds will be budgeted or earmarked for use within the following fiscal year of
collection. City staff will make allocation recommendations considering all three factors
above and final approval of the use of the funds will be made by the City Council.
Additional Components - In addition to the sales tax component, we envision the
policy will also address critical areas such as fund balance reserves, property tax
management and budgeting philosophy. The City is still developing the details of these
components and plan to add these to the policy in the coming months as we work through
the fiscal 2005 operating budget.
6.13.1. Consider a presentation of the Wastewater Master Plan by the Utilities
• Department and Camp Dresser & McKee, Inc. Engineering. Tom Clark, Utilities Director
made the staff presentation. The Council authorized Camp Dresser & McKee, Inc. to
update the Wastewater Master Plan on May 8, 2003. The master plan is used to ensure
proper pipeline sizes are installed during development so that long term needs of the city
are met. Additionally, the plan will focus on a 10-year Capital Improvements Plan for use in
the City Utility Capital Improvements Project (CIP) and for use in calculating the impact
fees.
Allen Wilke with Camp Dresser & McKee, Inc. pointed out that an adequate
wastewater collection is essential for industrial, commercial and residential development
within the City. He outlined the following:
Proiect Goal and Obiectives

provided to the City and can be used to evaluate the effect of future
• developments.
• Determine future wastewater flows based upon population and land use.
• Identify necessary wastewater system improvements around to accommodate
future flows.
• Prepare cost estimates for future improvements, including a 10-year CIP for

and
WHEREAS, the Round Rock City Council has supported the development of
recreational facilities such as ballfields, playgrounds, golf courses, swimming pools, tennis
courts, and picnicking facilities to promote wholesome recreational opportunities; and
WHEREAS, positive leisure experiences are vital to good physical and mental health
and enhance the quality of life for all people; and
WHEREAS, Round Rock's professional park and recreation staff is dedicated to

NOW, THEREFORE, I, NYLE MAXWELL, Mayor of the City of Round Rock, Texas, do
hereby proclaim the month of July as

in the City of Round Rock and encourage all citizens to take advantage of the park system
and recreation programs offered by the Parks and Recreation Department.
PROCLAIMED this 24th day of June 2004.
PRESENTATIONS:
• 12.A. Continuation of presentations not addressed during the Work Session.
12.B.1. Consider a presentation on a proposed ordinance amending the regulation
for door-to-door solicitations. Bryan Williams, Police Chief made the staff presentation. The
existing door-to-door solicitations ordinance was adopted in 1974. The proposed
amendment updates and strengthens the current regulations for the public safety, comfort,
convenience, and protection of the City and citizens. Chief Williams gave an overview of the
proposed amendments for door-to-door solicitations ordinance.
The Council spoke in favor of the amendments but expressed their concern that the
amendments will also apply to Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and youth organizations that go
door-to-door selling candy bars, cookies and other products for their organizations. These
individuals will need to acquire a $50 permit for 30 days before they can sell those products
to residents.
• The Council discussed their concerns and the biggest problem and complaints that
they have heard is that true for-profit individuals or organizations are going door-to-door
claiming to be selling products for a non-profit organization. In addition, even though the
proposed amendments include a provision that states that no peddler, solicitor or canvasser
should not be allowed on private property if a "no solicitors" sign is posted and during
certain hours, it was not intended to restrict friends, family, neighbors, church groups, and
so forth from selling these products to those residents who wish to help these organizations.
264
JUNE 24, 2004
Mr. Sheets informed the Council that after hearing their concerns that it is possible
to treat these types of solicitors as canvassers. The Council agreed and staff will make the
necessary amendments as suggested prior to bringing the back to the Council for adoption.
PUBLIC HEARINGS:
13.A.1. Consider public testimony concerning the 2004-2008 Community
Development Consolidated Plan. Mona Ryan, Community Development Coordinator made •
the staff presentation. A Consolidated Plan submission is required once every three or five
years and can be amended annually as necessary to meet goals of the programs. The first
five year plan was submitted in 1999. 24 CRF 91 requires consolidated submissions for
community planning and development programs. The overall goal of the community
planning and development program is to develop viable communities by providing decent
housing and a suitable living environment and expanding economic opportunities principally
for low and moderate persons.
Mayor Maxwell opened the public hearing. There being no public testimony the
public hearing was closed.
13.A.2. Consider public testimony concerning the proposed amendments to Chapter
8, Subdivisions, City of Round Rock Code of Ordinances (1995 Edition). Jim Stendebach,
Planning Director made the staff presentation. The existing Subdivision Ordinance has been
in place since 1969 with minor amendments having been made since that time. Changed •
conditions and outdated standards warrant new subdivision regulations.
To date, three focus groups with the development community have been held to
review and solicit input for the draft. The focus groups consisted of local and regional
engineers, developers, utility representatives, and representatives from the Capital Area
Home Builders Association. The majority of comments received from the focus groups have
been incorporated into the draft ordinance, or reasons have been provided as to why they
could not be included. On April 28, 2004, at its regular meeting, the Planning and Zoning
Commission held a public hearing and unanimously recommended the ordinance to City
Council for adoption.
The following items represent the key changes to the existing Subdivision Ordinance.
• Proposal to eliminate the requirement for a Concept Plan for tracts less than 5 acres
within the city limits. (Section 8.204). •
• Proposal to eliminate public hearings for plats, with the exception of those Replats
which require a public hearing by state law. Notification and public hearing will
continue to be required for Concept Plans. (Section 8.204.6).
• Proposal to include a procedure for a one cycle final plat. The procedure is identified
as the "minor subdivision final plat." (Section 8.207).
• Proposal to provide for administrative approval of public easement vacations.
(Section 8.211).
• Proposal to require a tree survey to identify significant trees at the preliminary plat
stage. (Section 8.205.4).
{ 265
]UNE 24, 2004
• Proposal to require mandatory parkland dedication. (Section 8.302).
• Proposal to allow City Council to modify the requirements of the Subdivision
Ordinance for those non-recorded subdivisions which existed in their present
configuration prior to January 1, 1970. (Section 8.113).
• Proposal to include a new subdivision fee structure. (Section 8.116).
• Proposal to require a Traffic Impact Analysis prior to all stages of platting. (Section
8.403).
• • Proposal to increase street right-of-way widths to accommodate but not require the
planting of street trees. Reduced setbacks were included in the 2002 Zoning
Ordinance revision to accommodate the increased right-of-way widths.
• Proposal to require sidewalks along streets in industrial subdivisions. (Section
8.405).
• Proposal to include separate standards for rural subdivisions. (Section 8.421).
• Proposal that plats show the limits of the Ultimate 100-year floodplain for all
waterways draining fifty or more acres by hatch marking the area on the plat. No
fences, structures, storage or fill shall be placed within the limits of the Ultimate 100
year floodplain. No portion of the minimum lot area (6500 square feet) for any lot
required by this Code shall be located within the Ultimate 100-Year Floodplain.
(8.604.Sections 1 - 6).
Mayor Maxwell opened the public hearing.
O'Barr Rost, 508 White Wing Way, expressed his concern regarding the proposed
amendments to the Subdivision Ordinance, specifically the requirement of a traffic analysis
at the annexation and zoning stage. He recommended that the requirement be made at the
site plan stage.
•
There being no further public testimony, the public hearing was closed.
13.A.3. Consider public testimony regarding an application filed by the Lower
Colorado River Authority to adopt original zoning of District LI (Light Industrial) for 21.191
acres of land out of the Joseph Marshall Survey. (LCRA Tract) (3901 E Palm Valley
Boulevard) Jim Stendebach, Planning Director made the staff presentation. This 21.191
acre tract is located on US Highway 79 just southeast of Dell Diamond. The adjoining LCRA
tracts to the east were annexed and zoned in 1998. The intent for these 21.191 acres will
allow the LCRA to expand the existing treatmentplant and construct an onsite LCRA office
building. The remainder of the land will be used as a buffer to the surrounding
neighborhood. Staff is in support of this original zoning of District LI (Light Industrial). At
the time of the adjacent tracts' annexation in 1998 the zoning district was I-1 (General
• Industrial), which was converted to LI (Light Industrial) when the revised Zoning Ordinance
was approved 2002. Staff desires to remain consistent, thus having the entire LCRA tracts
zoned LI. Both office and treatment plants are permitted uses in the LI district.
Mayor Maxwell opened the public hearing. There being no public testimony the
public hearing was closed.
13.A.4. Consider public testimony regarding an application filed by Larry and Linda
Lea to adopt original zoning of District C-1 (General Commercial) for 7917 acres of land out
of the Memucan Hunt Survey. (Lea Tract) (737 Louis Henna Boulevard) Jim Stendebach,
266
JUNE 24, 2004
Planning Director made the staff presentation. This .7917 acre tract is located south of
State Highway 45 and east of Greenlawn Boulevard. The tracts to the west and south were
annexed and zoned C-1 in April 2001. This tract in receiving a C-1 (General Commercial)
zoning district will provide commercial development to an area that complies with the

17.E.3. Consider a resolution establishing a temooraryprogram to license the
placement of open house signs in public rights-of-way. Councilmember Knight disclosed •
that he will be abstaining from discussion and vote on this item due to a conflict of interest
which is that his wife is a realtor.
Jim Nuse, City Manager made the staff presentation. The current sign ordinance is
strictly enforced. No signs are permitted in the City owned rights-of-way, except the new
home kiosk. The realtors believe that, due to the slow economy, limited access to the
rights-of-way are necessary for re-sales to compete with new homes. Members of the Real
Estate Committee approached the City to request`Open House' signs be permitted under
the sign ordinance. Staff prepared a license agreement for open house signs in the City's
rights-of-way that would permit these signs at certain times and under certain conditions.
The program participants will pay for the cost of this program.
Mr. Sheets noted that this resolution establishes a temporary program for the
placement of open house signs in the city owned rights-of-way until the end of this year. •
If the Council wishes to continue this program a new resolution will need to be adopted after
the expiration of this resolution. Mr. Sheets added that along with this resolution is a license
agreement, which has been previously reviewed by the Council. The licensee, can be either
a broker, company or homeowner. He added that at the request of Council, he drafted some
alternate language for consideration that would require the address to be placed on the
open house sign and added language that clarifies that it is one sign per house at a location.
In addition, if a subdivision has entrances from two arterials, according to the language in
the document, a sign can be placed at both locations. Mr. Sheets explained that the
differences between the original language and the alternate language is that the original
language did not require the residence address on the open house sign. The alternate
language requires the address on the sign.
Councilmember Pitt explained that having the address on the open house sign would •
eliminate the serious problem we have been having with multiple signs for one property.
This will also help with the enforcement of one sign per property requirement rather than
four or five open house signs for one house.
Mayor Maxwell added that not requiring an address on the open house sign would
allow the realtors to reuse the signs with the permit.

Mayor Pro-tem McGraw said what he would to amend the language in the resolution
to state that"in the event a licensee is entitled to and utilizes more than one open house
sign then such open house sign must contain the address of the residence offered for sale.
Councilmember Rhode added that he does not want to put an undo burden on the
real estate agents but would like factual data that shows this will be an effective program. If
• somehow the new homeowners can be asked if the Open House was an important factor in
finding and closing on a home in Round Rock.
Mayor Pro-tem McGraw explained that this program was brought forward at the
request of the real estate community that are selling existing and older homes. This was
looked at from not only the homeowners' perspective but when an established home can not
be sold it impacts the homeowner, the neighborhood and the City. This program is a
compromise for the homeowners who are selling their homes and the individuals who want
an attractive City.
RESOLUTION NO.
WHEREAS, the City of Round Rock ("City") prohibits the placement of signs in the
public rights-of-way, and
WHEREAS, the City recognizes that a need exists to direct prospective home buyers
to "Open Houses" for existing homes offered for sale within the City, and
WHEREAS, the City desires to establish a temporary program whereby realtors and
homeowners may place Open House signs in specified locations in City rights-of-way for the
sole purpose of directing prospective buyers to existing homes offered for sale, and
WHEREAS, City staff has developed a License Agreement for Open House Signs in
City Rights-of-Way, which the Council wishes to approve, Now Therefore
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROUND ROCK, TEXAS,.
That there is hereby established a temporary program whereby realtors and
homeowners may place Open House signs in specified locations in City rights-of-way for the
sole purpose of directing prospective buyers to existing homes offered for sale, and
IT IS FURTHER RESOLVED
That the City Manager or his designee is hereby authorized and directed to execute
on behalf of the City the approved licensee agreement forms for Open House signs with
