Council at the recommendation of a Citizen Bond Task Force that met for several months
prior to the election to review projects for possible inclusion on the ballot. Staff concurred

with the recommendation of the Bond Task Force due to the high use at the Clay Madsen

assessments. The City has previously reimbursed the developer,$550,000 in cash from

This item was approved under the consent agenda.
PUBLIC HEARINGS:
8.A.1. Consider public testimony regarding the application filed by NNPTeravista, L.P., to
zone 5.816 acres and 16.004 acres located at the S.E. corner of Teravista Parkway and Oakmont
Drive to C1a (General Commercial Limited) and MF (Multifamily), respectively. Jim Stendebach,
Planning Director made the staff presentation. This property was changed on the Future Land Use •
Map from Business Park to Mixed Land Use as part of the first phase of revisions to the General
Plan. This designation was appropriate due to the unique location of the tract between the new
outlet mall (to the west) and the Teravista subdivision (to the east). The applicant has requested
commercial zoning (C-1a) on the west side of the property and multifamily zoning on the east
side. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the proposed zoning at
their May 3, 2006, meeting.

Mayor Maxwell opened the public hearing. There being no public testimony, the public
hearing was closed.
8.A.2. Consider public testimony regarding the application filed b Joe and Billie Rea et
P Y 9 9 pP v Rep
a,
to rezone 2.7 acres described as Lot 12, Block 1, and Lots 14, Block 2, Egger's Acres, from
SF2 (Single Family - Standard Lot) to OF (Office). Jim Stendebach, Planning Director made the
• staff presentation. Since the subject lots were platted in 1959 the traffic along U.S. Highway 79
has dramatically increased, making them unsuitable for use as residences. Therefore, the
homeowners requested a change in zoning from SF2 (Single Family - Standard Lot) to OF (Office)
zoning. Staff supports the Office zoning as a use that is both appropriate for highway frontage
and compatible with the single-family residences adjacent to the north. The Planning and Zoning
Commission recommended approval of the proposed OF zoning at their May 3, 2006, meeting.
Mayor Maxwell opened the "public hearing. There being no public testimony, the public
hearing was closed.
8.A.3. Consider public testimony regarding the application filed by Jeffrey Way, Ltd., to
rezone 5.548 acres described as Lot 1, DKRC Subdivision, from LI (Light Industrial) to C1a
(General Commercial - Limited) Jim Stendebach, Planning Director made the staff presentation.
This tract, along with all of the properties along this stretch of the IH35 frontage road, was
recently reclassified from Industrial to Commercial on the Future Land Use Map as part of the first
• phase of revisions to the General Plan. These amendments were made in response to changing
market conditions in this part of Round Rock. The commercial classification given to these
properties in the General Plan did not include the C1 (General Commercial) zoning district, but
rather called for a more restrictive commercial zoning designation. The applicant has requested
Cla (General Commercial - Limited) for the property. The Planning and Zoning Commission
recommended approval of the proposed zoning at their May 3, 2006, meeting.
Mayor Maxwell opened the public hearing.
The following individuals spoke during the public hearing.
Buck Debree, 3110 RR 620 North
John Moman, 1701 Johnson Way
8.A.4. Consider public testimony concerning proposed amendments to Chapter 11,
Zoning, to add an Agricultural (AG):zoning district and to address the treatment of properties
• within the city limits without a zoning classification. Jim Stendebach, Planning Director made the
staff presentation. As the city continues to initiate annexations in the ETJ, landowners of newly
annexed tracts have expressed an interest in continuing existing agricultural uses until a land use
proposal for their tract is determined. Staff proposed a new Agricultural (AG) zoning district to
accommodate this request. The Agricultural district provides landowners with the flexibility they
need to continue agricultural operations while providing the city with the assurance that Round
Rock development standards are met. Staff also proposed provisions to address the treatment of
18'
JUNE 8, 2006
properties within the city limits without a zoning classification also to ensure Round Rock
development standards are met. In addition, several compatibility standards have been included
in the district to protect adjacent residential'properties and neighborhoods.
Mayor Maxwell opened the public hearing. There being no public testimony, the public
hearing was closed.
8.A.5. Consider public testimony regarding the application filed by Chandler Road
Properties, L.P., to rezone 29.909 acres of land located at the S. E. corner of Hidden Valley Drive
and Sunrise Road from,C1 (General Commercial, SF2 (Single Family - Standard Lot), and MF
(Multifamily) zoning district to PUD 68 (Planning Unit Development). Jim Stendebach, Planning
Director made the staff presentation. This property is currently a mix of C1, MF and SF2 zoning.
The proposed PUD would eliminate these districts and replace them with development standards
for a multifamily development of approximately 15 units per acre. In addition, it would eliminate
commercial uses along Sunrise Road south of Hidden Valley Drive and would allow for the
"clustering" of residential units on the site, which will preserve the stand of trees on the far
eastern end of the property. Although the total number of potential residential units will increase
with this rezoning, the PUD limits the density to less than what would ordinarily be allowed in
straight MF zoning (15 units/acre rather than 20 units/acre). In addition to preserving the trees
on the eastern end of the property, the PUD also includes a number of other requirements that
ensure compatibility with the neighboring residences and will make a development superior to •
straight MF zoning. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the
proposed zoning at their May 3, 2006, meeting.
Mayor Maxwell opened the public hearing. The following individuals spoke during the
public hearing.
Bobbi Dansen, 1103 Water Birch, President of Eagle Ridge HOA
Jerry Winthrop, Developer
8.A.6. Consider public testimony regarding the proposed Unilateral Annexation of 32.170
acres of land located at the S.E. corner of Red Bud Lane and CR 123. (Also known as the Johnson
Tract). Jim Stendebach, Planning Director made the staff presentation. This tract of land known
as the Johnson Tract is a total of 32.170 acres located on the south side of CR 123, north of the
Greenfield Subdivision and east of CR 122. It is the city's desire to annex this tract in order to
control the development of this area and to protect the existing single-family residential •
subdivisions abutting this tract to the south and west.
Mayor Maxwell opened the public hearing. There being no public testimony, the public
hearing was closed.
8.A.7. Consider public testimony regarding the proposed Unilateral Annexation of 46.45
acres of land located at the N.W. corner of A.W. Grimes Boulevard and Gattis School Road (Also
known as Round Rock East Subdivision A W Grimes ROW and Wigginton tracts) Jim

Stendebach, Planning Director made the staff presentation. This tract of land is comprised of
Round Rock East, an unrecorded subdivision, a portion of A.W. Grimes ROW and Wigginton Tract,
for a total of 46.45 acres located on the north side of Gattis School Road, just west of the A.W.

development along Gattis School Road and A.W. Grimes Boulevard and to protect the existing
• single-family residential subdivisions surrounding this tract.
Mayor Maxwell opened the public hearing. The following individual spoke during the public
hearing.

ORDINANCES:
9.A.1. Consider an ordinance providing for Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS

presentation. This ordinance allows certain employees of the City who have terminated previous

entitled to at date of withdrawal. There are 25 employees eligible to buy back service as of

impacted as an eligible employee buys back his or her previously forfeited credit. Each year, after

Adiustment for Calendar Year 2005. (First Reading) David Kautz, Assistant City Manager
made the staff presentation. Atmos filed a $12 million interim GRIP adjustment on March
31, 2006. On May 31, 2006 Atmos filed a general rate case with the City Secretary for $72
million, including $12 million for the interim GRIP adjustment. The Texas Legislature
authorized interim GRIP adjustments between general rate cases. The GRIP statute was
• never intended to permit a request for an interim adjustment while a general rate case was
pending. Further, the City instituted a show cause proceeding pursuant to GURA § 104.151.
Under that statute, the City has the authority to dismiss the pending interim GRIP
adjustment request. Under Texas law Atmos may request GRIP only if it has had its rates
set as part of a general rate case within two years prior to making the request for an
interim GRIP adjustment. Atmos Mid-Tex did not exist before October 2004. It has never
had its rates set as part of a general rate case. While it is true that TXU Gas had its rates
set in 2004, Atmos Mid-Tex has never undergone such a review.

This zoning request complies with the General Plan and is appropriate for this area. The one
commercial lot (Tract B) is located at the southeast corner of Forest Creek Drive and the future
Arterial A. The Kenney Fort PUD to the west of this tract shows commercial uses at this
intersection. However, because it will abut single-family homes, the applicant is only requesting C-
2 zoning, which will ensure compatibility between the two uses. The annexation of this property will

for a litter to be assessed for all voluntary, owner-released animals to the Animal Control Unit.
Since the City began contracting with the City of Pflugerville,for animal-sheltering services, Round

•
organizations or offer assistance in addressing the reason(s) why owners want to release their

*11.A. Consider approval of the City Council minutes for August 10, 2006.
This item was approved under the consent agenda.
PUBLIC HEARINGS:
12.A.1. Consider public testimony regarding revisions to the Transportation
Element of the General Plan 2000. Jim Stendebach, Planning Director made the staff
presentation. Amendments to the Transportation Element of the General Plan 2000 are
limited to changes to the Roadway Table and the Ultimate Roadway Network Map. Since
the Roadway Table and Ultimate Roadway Network Map are also contained 'in the General
Plan 2000, amendment of the General Plan is required to reflect the changes. The
amendments include adding Arterial "T", a proposed roadway between the Round Rock •
Higher Education Center and the proposed Seton Hospital which will run south from
University Boulevard terminating at CR 112; adjusting the alignment of CR 109/ CR 110/
CR122; and a number of administrative changes. The Planning and Zoning Commission
recommended approval of the amendments at their meeting on August 16, 2006.
Mayor Maxwell opened the public hearing. There being no public testimony, the
public hearing was closed.

AUGUST 24, 2006
12.A.2. Consider public testimony regarding the application filed by McNeil Retail
Ltd. to amend the development standards related to the primary access drive of PUD 65
(Planned Unit Development) located at the southeast corner of University Boulevard and the
IH-35 frontage road. (Also known as Lot 2, Block A, East Chandler Retail Center) Jim
Stendebach, Planning Director made the staff presentation. PUD 65 was adopted in
• September of 2005 to be developed as a shopping,center wrapping around the IKEA store
to the south and east. The use of a PUD to permit a private drive as an alternative public
access was allowed through a recent amendment to the Subdivision Ordinance. The
proposed amendment to PUD 65 will allow the primary access drive, which is a private
drive, to be considered as an alternative public access for the purposes of platting. This will
allow lots to be created in the center of the property without having to resort to awkward
and impractical "flag lots" in order to access IH-35 or University Boulevard. The proposed
amendment also stipulates certain conditions have to be met in order for the private drive
to be considered an alternative public access. The Planning and Zoning Commission
recommended approval of the proposed amendments to the PUD zoning at their July 12,
2006, meeting. This recommendation was based on the understanding that McNeil Park
would be developed for commercial uses unless it remains as a park, which would then
• require a buffer between the park and the PUD development.
Mayor Maxwell opened the public hearing. There being no public testimony, the
public hearing was closed.

14.B.1. Consider a resolution scheduling public hearings on the proposed 2006
property tax rate. Cindy Demers, Finance Director made the staff presentation. Chapter 26
of the Property Tax Code requires taxing units to comply with truth-in-taxation laws when
adopting their tax rates. When a proposed tax rate exceeds the lower of the roll back rate
or effective tax rate, the taxing unit's governing body must vote to place the proposal on
the agenda of a future meeting as an action item.
The proposed tax rate of $0.37105 is required to balance the FY 2006-2007
Operating Budget. This rate is the same tax rate adopted in 2005 (FY 2005-2006), and is
$0.01487 above the 2006 (FY 2006-2007) effective tax rate. The proposed increase is due
to the growth in operating costs and reduced sales tax reliance reflecting the City's •
operational and long-term financial plans. Under this proposal, taxes on the average
homestead would increase by $26.02 or 4.54% compared with last year's taxes. Comparing
the proposed tax rate to the effective rate, the tax rate would increase by 4.17%.
Individual taxes may increase at a greater or lesser rate, or even decrease, depending on
the change in taxable value of the property. Public hearings will be held on September 7
and September 14 to address this item.

PUBLIC HEARING:
4.A. Consider public testimony concerning the proposed 2006 property tax rate
increase for the City of Round Rock. Cindy Demers, Finance Director made the staff
presentation. Chapter 26 of the Property Tax Code requires taxing units to comply with
truth-in-taxation laws when adopting their tax rates. When a proposed tax rate exceeds the
lower of the roll back,rate or effective tax rate, the taxing unit's governing body must hold
two public hearings before adopting a tax rate. The proposed tax rate of $0.37105 is
required to balance the FY 2006-2007 Operating Budget. This rate is same tax rate adopted •
in 2005(FY 2005-2006), and is $0.01487 above the 2006 (FY 2006-2007) effective tax
rate. The proposed increase is due to the growth in operating costs and reduced sales tax
reliance reflecting the City's operational and long-term financial plans. Under this proposal,
taxes on the average homestead would increase by $26.02 or 4.54% compared with last
year's taxes. Comparing the proposed tax rate to the effective rate, the tax rate would
increase by 4.17%. Individual taxes may increase at a greater or lesser rate, or even

is scheduled for the Council's September 14 meeting.

1431 ROW/City of Round Rock Water Treatment Plant Tract) Second Public Hearing Lee
Heckman, Planner made the staff presentation. This is the second public hearing concerning
the annexation of 2,562.02 acres located on both the north and south boundaries of FM
1431 and on the west side of Interstate 35. This tract is known as the Texas Crushed
Stone, Georgetown Railroad Company and FM 1431 ROW and City of Round Rock Water
Treatment Plant Tract. It is the city's desire to annex the tract in order to establish land use

PUBLIC HEARINGS:
9.A.1. Consider public testimony concerning the proposed 2006-2007 Operating
Budget for the City of Round Rock. (First Public;Hearing) Cindy Demers, Finance Director
made the staff presentation for this item and 9B2 at this time. This is the first public
hearing on the proposed FY 2006-2007 Operating Budget. The second public hearing will be
held on September 28, 2006.
The Operating Budget consists of the General Fund, General Debt Service Fund and
the Water/Wastewater Utility Fund. The City Manager's proposed operating budget has
been adjusted from the budget previously provided to the Council on July 27. This change
includes the additional funding for Parks Improvements Projects of $656,000. The budget
• provides improved levels of service for a growing community balanced at the effective tax
rate for the general and debt service funds and competitive water and wastewater rates for
the utility fund while adhering to the City's financial policies. Ms. Demers gave an overview
of the budget summary.
Chapter 26 of the Property Tax Code requires taxing units to comply with truth-in-
taxation laws when adopting their tax rates. When a proposed tax rate exceeds the lower
of the roll back rate or effective tax rate, the taxing unit's governing body must hold two
public hearings before adopting a tax rate. This is the second public hearing on the tax
rate. The first public hearing was held on September 7, 2006.
The proposed tax rate of $0.37105 is required to balance the FY 2006-2007
Operating Budget. This rate is same tax rate adopted in 2005 (FY 2005-2006), and is
$0.01487 above the 2006 (FY 2006-2007) effective tax rate. This increase is necessary due
to increasing operating costs as well as continued investment in the utility's long-term
• reserve water and infrastructure needs. In addition, the proposed increase is due to the
growth in operating costs and reduced sales tax reliance reflecting the City's operational and
long-term financial plans.
2006 (FY 2006-2007) Proposed Tax Rate - $0.37105
2006 (FY 2006-2007) Effective Tax Rate - $0.35618
2005 (FY 2005-2006) Tax Rate - $0.37105

property owners, a consensus has been reached on the appropriateness of C-1a for this 8-
•

Energy Corporation. (First Reading) David Kautz, Assistant City Manager made the staff

Atmos rate filing. The original effective date for the Atmos rate increase request was July 5,
2006 and the City has,suspended the effective date for the City to take final action until
October 3, 2006. Rate experts have reviewed testimony,_schedules, work papers and other
documents provided by Atmos and have determined that the rate increase is not just and •
reasonable based on the following:
- The request seeks an excessive rate of return of 11.5%
- The request artificially decreases debt and increases equity.
- The request seeks excessive levels of infrastructure adjustments for its Gas
Reliability Infrastructure Program (GRIP)
- The request proposes a radical change in rate design for residential customers,
which promotes waste of natural gas and shifts costs to low use customers.

RESOLUTIONS:
11.A.1. Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a Developer
Participation Agreement with Canteberry Development, Ltd. for public drainage channel and •
storm sewer improvements associated with the Eagle Ridge Subdivision development.
Danny Halden, City Engineer made the staff presentation. The proposed channel
improvements will provide proper conveyance for a drainage basin of approximately 675
acres. The Eagle Ridge area benefiting from the channel improvements is approximately
144 acres or 21% of the entire drainage basin. The storm sewer improvements will extend
an existing pipe, built with the abutting Meadow Lake subdivision, up to the new channel,
which-will result in decreased maintenance for the City. In view of the magnitude of the
improvements contemplated in conjunction with the culvert improvement along Eagles Nest
Street that Canteberry Development, Ltd. previously performed, this participation by the
City seems justified. The maximum amount of reimbursement to the Developer by the City
is estimated to be $120,000.00 or thirty percent (30%) of the total Agreement cost,
whichever amount is less.

PUBLIC HEARINGS:
12.A.1. Consider public testimony concerning the proposed 20062007 Operating
Budget for the City of Round Rock. (Second Public Hearing) Cindy Demers, Finance Director
made the staff presentation. The Operating Budget consists of the General Fund, General
Debt Service Fund and the Water/Wastewater Utility Fund. The City Manager's proposed
operating budget has been adjusted from the budget previously provided to the Council on
July 27. This change includes the additional funding for Parks Improvements Projects of
$656,000. The budget provides improved levels of service for a growing community and is
balanced at the effective tax rate for the general and debt service funds and competitive
r.
water and wastewater rates for the utility fund while adhering to the City's financial policies.
• The proposed utility budget is balanced with a planned 3% average rate increase. This
increase is necessary due to increasing operating costs as well as continued investment in
the utility's long-term reserve water and infrastructure needs.
Mayor Maxwell opened the public hearing. There being no public testimony, the
public hearing was closed.
12.B.1. Consider public testimony regarding the unilateral annexation of the tract of
land known as the Burge, Gordon, Madsen, et al. tract, a total of 291 acres, more or less,
.152
SEPTEMBER 28, 2006
located east of CR 122 west of McNutt Creek north of the Pioneer Crossing Subdivision and
south of the southern boundary of the Paloma Lake Municipal Utility District (MUD). (Second
Public Hearing) Jim Stendebach, Planning and Community Development Director made the
staff presentation. This is the second public hearing of the two required public hearings. This
tract of land known as Burge, Gordon, Madsen, et al totals 291 acres. The tract is located
east of the western edge of CR122, west of McNutt Creek, north of the Pioneer Crossing •
Subdivision and south of the southern boundary of the Paloma Lake MUD (Municipal Utility
District.) It is the city's desire to annex this tract in order to control the development of this
area and to protect the existing single-family residential subdivisions abutting this tract to
the south and west. The following questions were brought up by property owners at the
last Council meeting. Mr. Stendebach presented the following answers to those questions.
Q. Will I be allowed to keep animals?
A. Yes. Regulated by the "Animal Control Ordinances"
■ One animal unit for first acre plus one animal unit for each additional half
acre
■ Animal unit defined as follows;
o One horse, mule, llama or cattle
o Two swine
o Five sheep, goats or emu
Q. Can I burn brush?
A. Only with permission of Fire Marshall and neighbors.
Q. Can I continue to run my business? •
A. Yes. The Texas Local Government Code states that "A Municipality may not,
after annexing an area, prohibit a person from continuing to use the land in
the area in the manner in which the land was being used on the date the
annexation proceedings were instituted..."
Q. Why annex me now?
A. As urban development begins to abut properties within the city's ETI, it is
appropriate to annex areas that abut the city limits based on the following:
■ Availability of city services increases development potential significantly.
■ Control of land use protects values.
■ Rationalization of emergency service boundaries.
■ The extension of services and utilities can be rationally planned.
Q. What services do I get?
A. Immediate services include:
■ City Fire Protection
■ City Police Protection
■ Maintenance of City Streets
■ Maintenance of Public Facilities
■ Solid Waste Collection
■ Services within 2.5 years or less include:
- Water
- Wastewater
Q. What does it cost me in taxes? •
A. 37¢ per$100 evaluation less 100 you don't have to pay the Emergency
Service District.
Q. Do I have to hook up to City Services immediately?
A. If your home is within 200 feet of a city line, and is a platted lot, you are
required to hook up. Unplatted parcels are exempt from this requirement.
The primary advantage is the availability of City Services if well goes dry or
septic systems fail.
Q. When will the McNutt wastewater line be constructed?
A. December- 2007 is the projected completion date to the Paloma Lake MUD.
Q. Can I shoot dove?
A. Only if you have a minimum of 10 acres.
153.
SEPTEMBER 28, 2006
Q. Will my road be maintained by the city?
A. All public roads will be maintained. Private roads will not.
Q. Will annexation affect my agricultural exemption?

Development Director made the staff presentation. This is the second public hearing of the

Lane is 56 acres and is located south of Forest Creek Drive, north of the Rolling Ridge
Subdivision, east of the proposed Arterial A, and west of Rusk Road. The property on all
sides of the tract is already in the city limits, with the exception of right-of-way along the

development of this area and to protect the existing single-family residential subdivisions
abutting this tract to the north and south, and to protect the proposed single-family
residential subdivision in between the Johnson Lane and Crossley Crossing portions of the
tract.

13.A.2. Consider an ordinance adopting the 2006 property tax rate for the City of •
Round Rock. (Second Reading) Cindy Demers, Finance Director made the staff
presentation. Chapter 26 of the Property Tax Code requires taxing units to comply with
truth in taxation laws when adopting their tax rates. When a proposed tax rate exceeds the
lower of the roll back rate or effective tax rate, the taxing unit's governing body must hold
two public hearings before adopting a tax rate. Information concerning the tax rate follows:
2006 (FY 20062007) Proposed Tax Rate $0.37105
2006 (FY 20062007) Effective.Tax Rate $0.35618
2005 (FY 20052006) Tax Rate $0.37105
The proposed tax rate of $0.37105 is required to balance the FY 2006-2007 Operating
Budget. This rate is same tax rate adopted in 2005 (FY 2005-2006), and is $0.01487 above
the 2006 (FY 20062007) effective tax rate. The proposed increase is due to the growth in
operating costs and reduced sales tax reliance reflecting the City's operational and long-
term financial plans. Public hearings were held on September 7, 2006 and September 14, •
2006.

Water Treatment Plant Tract totals 2,562.02 acres located on both the north and south

currently being used as a water plant and to protect the appearance of this northern

PRESENTATIONS:
9.A.1. Consider a presentation by the Chairman of the Historic Preservation
Commission on the 2006 Local Legend Award. Joelle Jordan, Senior Planner introduced the
Chairman of the Historic Preservation Commission. The Historic Preservation Commission of
the City created the Local Legend Award in 1990 and announced the first recipients the
following year. The Local Legend Award recognizes Round Rock citizens who have had a
positive and lasting impact on the culture, development, and history of our community and
who exemplify the very essence of Round Rock. Honorees have included both individuals
and groups who have played an important, if not always prominent, role in the history of
Round Rock.
Mr. Gary Brown announced that the first 2006 Local Legend award goes to Thomas
• C. Oatts (1815-1885). Mr. Oatts was born in Monticello, Kentucky on October 20, 1815. He
immigrated to Texas in the late 1840's. The Brushy Creek Post Office, located on Chisholm
Trail, was established in a section of Mr. Oatts store on May 27, 1851. However, in 1854,
postal authorities asked Mr. Oatts to provide another name for the settlement because there
was already a town in the State that called itself Brushy. Mr. Oatts decided to rename the
town Round Rock in recognition of the large rock in the middle of Brushy Creek where he
174
OCTOBER 12, 2006
and Jacob Harrell spent time fishing. On August 24, 1854, the name of Round Rock was
officially given to the community.
The award was accepted by Nan Elizabeth Schaefer, the great, great granddaughter
of Thomas C. Oatts.
Mr. Brown announced that the next 2006 Local Legend award goes to the book
Historical Round Rock Texas which was published in 1985 by Karen Thompson and Jane •
DiGesualdo. In the early 1980's Karen Thompson started working on a book about the
history of Round Rock after she had realized that there wasn't much in print about Round
Rock's history. At the time Jane DiGesualdo was giving presentations in classrooms as part
of school programs, and teachers would ask where they could get more materials. So the
two began working on the book together. After hundreds of interviews, the book ended up
being 583 pages and includes more than 400 photographs. Today, it is almost sold out of its
second printing. This book is referred to often by local and history buffs wanting to learn
more about the history of the City, and has itself become a local legend.
The award was accepted by the authors, Karen Thompson and Jane DiGesualdo.
9.8.1. Consider a presentation concerning the City's Customer Service Awareness
Day. David Kautz, Assistant City Manager made the staff presentation. On October 5, 2006,
the Customer Service Team hosted an employee event to celebrate the efforts and •
commitment of our employees in providing exemplary customer service. The event was a
big success and we hope to have this type of employee appreciation once a year.
Monique Adams and Cindy Fronk members of the Customer Service Team outlined
the activities of the day.
Mayor Pro-tem McGraw read the proclamation which opened the activities of the day.
ORDINANCES:
10.A.1. Consider an ordinance changing the name of CR 122 to Red Bud Lane,
north of US 79 to the city limits. (First Reading) Jim Stendebach, Planning Director made
the staff presentation. CR 122 aligns with Red Bud Lane at the intersection of E. Palm Valley
Boulevard. Once CR122 was annexed in April 2006, staff began the process to rename CR
122 to Red Bud Lane. The street name change furthers the City's efforts to maintain
consistent street naming throughout Round Rock. On April 7, 2006, written notices were
sent to the property owners of the land adjacent to the CR 122 right-of-way within the city
limits. In addition, forms for their signature of approval or concerns regarding the name
change were also sent. The process for renaming CR 122 to Red Bud Lane was completed
on September 22, 2006, with the receipt of the required property owners' approval of the
name change.

RESOLUTIONS:
11.A.1. Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a Cost Participation
Agreement with Dell USA L.P. for a drainage channel repair project.
Councilmember Rhode disclosed that he would be abstaining from the discussion and
vote on this item due to a conflict of interest and has filed the appropriate affidavit.
Danny Halden, City Engineer made the staff presentation. In 1994/1995, the City
managed a Texas Capital Fund Project that established public infrastructure around the
• developing Dell campuses. This project included drainage channel improvements from Gattis
School Road through Windy Park Subdivision up to the Dell property along the east side of
Greenlawn Boulevard. In 1998, Dell developed the east campus and established a retention
pond east of Buildings 7 & 8. This pond discharges into the south end of the channel. It
appears that over time, water piping around the pond's outlet structure as well as the
discharges over the pond spillway have undercut the concrete lining of the channel. Once
the subgrade had eroded, it left an unsupported concrete channel lining. Subsequently,
holes developed in various areas due to hydraulic forces, unsupported concrete weight,
176
OCTOBER 120 2006
expansion/contraction cracking, and/or other reasons. Upon inspection of the failed areas, it
appears that much of the reinforcing steel had not been properly placed within the concrete.
Dell has requested that the City participate in the channel repair by managing the contract
for the repair and contributing to half of the costa The City's portion of the cost is estimated
at $120,000.00.
The Council asked if the engineering firm and contractor that performed the work on •
the channel were contacted concerning the deterioration and whether a claim had been filed
with the-contractor.
RESOLUTION NO.
WHEREAS, the City of Round Rock ("City") and Dell U.S.A. L.P. (`Dell") desire to

property owned by Manville Water Supply Corporation ("Project"), and
WHEREAS, the City and Dell have agreed to participate in the cost of design and
construction of said Project, as set forth in a Cost Participation Agreement, Now Therefore

revenue bonds to finance a portion of the Transportation Capital Improvement Plan. The
City has an opportunity to refinance approximately $11,570,000 of the Corporation's
outstanding Series 2001 Senior Lien Bonds. These Bonds carry a weighted-average interest
• rate of 5.45% and become callable in August of 2011. A recent rally in the tax exempt
bond market combined with much-improved taxable short-term investment rates have
produced the right set of circumstances to allow for an advance refunding of these bonds.
Preliminary estimates show a total debt service reduction of over $550,000 or
approximately $36,000/year for the years 2007-2021. These are senior lien bonds carrying
interest rates between 3.9 and 5.5%. As of the current fiscal year, the Corporation has
$22.6 million in outstanding principal.

PUBLIC HEARINGS:
11.A.1. Consider public testimony concerning proposed amendments to the
Wastewater rates. Cindy Demers, Finance Director made the staff presentation. The City is
currently in the process of updating its comprehensive water and wastewater utility rate
model with the consulting firm of Black &Veatch. This updates the rate model provided in
2003, which indicated the need for a multi-year approach to utility rate adjustments. The
results of the updated study indicated that the City should continue with its scheduled rate
increases to fund future Capital Improvement projects. Increased operating costs and
anticipated debt issuances associated with a $200 million utility capital improvement
program continue to be the primary causes of the rate considerations. The proposed rate
increase for January 2007 will affect only the wastewater components of the utility bill and
is estimated to increase the average residential bill by approximately 3%. Ms. Demers
outlined the proposed wastewater monthly charge by meter size, the proposed wastewater
volume charge, and an average residential bill comparison.

Mayor Maxwell opened the public hearing. There being no testimony, the public
hearing was closed.
11.8.1. Consider public testimony regarding the application filed by Koontz/
McCombs 1, Ltd., to rezone 17.889 acres located at the intersection of Hester's Crossing
Road and La Frontera Boulevard, from PUD 39 (Planned Unit Development) to PUD 69
(Planned Unit Development). This item was withdrawn from the agenda at the request of
the developer.
11.B.2. Consider public testimony regarding the application filed by 35/45 La
Frontera, L.P., to rezone 9.04 acres located south of Hester's Crossing Road between La
Frontera Boulevard and Kouri Avenue, from PUD 39 (Planned Unit Development) to PUD 70
(Planned Unit Development). This item was withdrawn from the agenda at the request of
the developer.
11.13.3. Consider public testimony regarding proposed amendments to the
General Plan to modify the Future Land Use Map with regard to the area north of Brushy
Creek, west of CR 110, south of Round Rock's extraterritorial iurisdiction boundary with
Georgetown and east of FM 1460. Jim Stendebach, Planning and Community Development
Director made the staff presentation. The Future Land Use Map of the General Plan serves
as the principal guiding document in determining the appropriateness of zoning designations
for property that is annexed into the City and for property under consideration for zoning
changes, it is imperative that it accurately reflect the current goals and objectives of the
City and that it account for changing market conditions. In order to ensure the
appropriateness of the land use designations of the Future Land Use Map, the City
periodically amends the plan based on a review of changing conditions in different areas of
the City and its extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETI). Staff has been in the process of amending
the map with respect to northeast Round Rock for the past year. These changes have been
done in phases, with the first phase completed in August of last year, and the second phase
completed in December and now Phase 3, which covers the area from FM 1460 east to CR
110. The primary change is the inclusion of the Mixed Land Use designation in the area
east of Texas State University and an area along Brushy Creek south of the Dell Diamond.
The Mixed Land Use designation provides for a higher intensity mix of compatible
commercial, office and multifamily uses. The recommended changes account for a number
of factors, including changing market conditions, transportation improvements, utility
improvements, existing drainage ways and property owner input. On September 20, 2006,
the Planning and.Zoning Commission unanimously rendered a favorable recommendation to
amend the Future Land Use Map of the General Plan as.proposed in Phase 3 of the
Northeast Plan.

fires and have a backup for their current trucks when one goes out of service. This
equipment will be assigned to Fire Station No. 3. Engine No. 3 will be reassigned to Fire
Station No. 7. The cost of the fire apparatus with a ladder is $620,644. The timeline to
build a fire apparatus with a ladder is approximately 10 months. There would be no
expenditure for this equipment until September 2007.

ACTION: The motion carried unanimously.
10.E.2. Consider a resolution requesting the Governor and Members of the 80th
Legislative Session to support increased funding for the Texas Recreation & Parks Account.
Rick Atkins, Parks and Recreation Director made the staff presentation. The Texas
Recreation & Parks Account (TRPA) is a grant program administered by the Texas Parks &
Wildlife Department that provides matching grants to local governments for parkland
acquisition and development. The annual appropriation of funds from the TRPA prior to the
78th Legislature was $15.5 million. The TRPA was reduced to $13 million annually during the
78th Legislative Session and to $5.6 million for the current biennium. The TRPA has been a
very important source of funding for the City. In the past six years, the TRPA has provided
the City with an additional $1.5 million dollars to fund projects like Clay Madsen Recreation
Center ($500,000), Brushy Creek East Trail ($500,000) and the Greater Lake Creek Trail
Project ($500,000). Each of these projects relies on funding from the TRPA and any loss of
funding would have detrimental ramifications to communities and state. This resolution is to
ask the Legislature to increase funding for the TRPA to the level the grant program was
prior to the 78th Legislative Session, and State Parks. It also asks that the Legislature
respect the publicly endorsed competitive scoring system award process and discontinue the`
attaching legislative riders to the budget for special interest projects that drain the fund.
RESOLUTION NO.
WHEREAS, the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department ("TPWD") administers the Texas
Recreation & Parks Account Local Park Grant Program ("TRPA") and manages 114 State
parks and historical sites in Texas; and
WHEREAS, TPWD has a separate account in their general revenue fund referred to as
the TRPA for the purpose of providing matching grants to political subdivisions for parks and
recreation projects; and
WHEREAS, the matching grants provided by the TPWD are utilized for the planning,
acquisition, and development of local park, recreation and open space areas to be owned
and maintained by political subdivisions; and
WHEREAS, funds granted to political subdivisions under the TRPA guidelines have
funded 1,029 projects of the 2,851 submitted over 25 years delivering over $623 million
dollars to the local Texas economy; and
WHEREAS, political subdivisions throughout the State of Texas depend on grants
from TPWD through the TRPA to stimulate the acquisition and development of parks and
recreational areas for the benefit and enjoyment of their citizenry; and
WHEREAS, the TRPA and State parks are funded from sales tax on sporting goods
and that the development of new parks stimulates the purchase of sporting goods; and
WHEREAS, continued cutbacks in appropriations for State park and historic sites
have resulted in a backlog of deferred maintenance issues, park closures, reduced hours
• and days of operation, staff layoffs, the conversion of some parks to day use only and
elimination of important visitor services, regardless of the growing need for new parks due
to the State's expanding population and extensive tourism industry; and
WHEREAS, the development of parks encourages and promotes public health,
economic development, job creation, education; corporate relocations, an improved quality
of life, and juvenile crime prevention; and
WHEREAS, it is the desire of this City Council that a copy of this resolution with
appropriate names affixed be presented to the Governor of Texas and the leadership of the
80th Texas Legislature, Now Therefore
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROUND ROCK, TEXAS,
1. That the Governor and members of the 80th Legislature of Texas seek
passage of legislation maximizing the use of revenue from the sporting goods
sales tax to increase funding for parks and recreation programs fairly for
Local and State parks and that all TRPA funded park projects be subject to
the established TPWD competitive scoring system.

This item was approved under the consent agenda.
PRESENTATIONS:
8.A.1. Consider a presentation on the Executive Development Program.
Dale Ricklefs presented the graduates of the Executive Development Program to the
Council. This is the second year of the program, which provides retention and advancement
of the City's employees and provides an understanding of executive issues.
Mayor Maxwell presented the Certificates of Completion to Kristie O'Hara, Michael •
Thane, Ruth Haberman, and Emsud Horozovic. Nancy Yawn was absent.
PUBLIC HEARINGS:
9.A.1. Consider public testimony regarding the application filed by 35/45 La
Frontera, L.P., to rezone 9.04 acres located south of Hester's Crossing Road between La
Frontera Boulevard and Kouri Avenue, from PUD 39 District to PUD 70 District (Also known
as La Frontera Town Center). Jim Stendebach, Planning and Community Development
233
DECEMBER 7, 2006
Director made the staff presentation. Planned Unit Development (PUD) 39 is the La Frontera
West PUD. The property was annexed and zoned as PUD 39 in 1999. The owner of the 9-
acre tract is selling the property to a developer who wants to construct a mixed-use
development on the property. Because the property will.have a new owner and because the
development will require some changes to the existing development standards, the owner is
• requesting a change of zoning from the existing PUD 39 to a new PUD 70. This new PUD
will have the same development standards as PUD 39, except for the following differences:
• A reduction in setbacks along Hester's Crossing Road from 60 ft. to 8 ft. This will
make it consistent with the setbacks already in place for the other roadways.
• The option of using an alternate landscape plan in order to ensure adequate
landscaping even with the small setbacks.
• An increase in density from 35 units/acre to 39 units/acre.
• A maximum allowance of 360 multi-family units.
• The entire La Frontera West PUD had an original allocation of 900 multi-family
units. 777 units have been constructed, which means only 123 additional multi-
family units are currently allowed in La Frontera. By creating this new PUD, the
overall count of allowable multi-family units will increase from 123 to 360.
• A requirement that multi-family housing must have structural parking and must
include a mix of other uses on the same site.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the proposed zoning
• change at their September 20, 2006, meeting.
Mayor.Maxwell opened the public hearing.
Don Martin of La Frontera reported on the next phase of La Frontera, La Frontera
Town Center.
Challenges with Existing Plan
• When La Frontera began, "new-urban" concepts were rare in suburban settings
• Project is not well-designed for pedestrians
• Many site concepts today feature "new urban" elements
- Vertical mixed-use and urban-style living
- A central focus that ties the project together
- Pedestrian-orientation
- Live, shop, work in the same general area
• New competition is emerging (Domain, Cedar Park Town Center, Leander, etc)
La Frontera Town Center
• • 9-acre tract, to be used to "retro-fit for adding new-urban elements
• Vertical mixed use--residential units and lofts above retail, restaurants, cafes and
loft office.
• Internal garage parking, with minor surface parking for retail/restaurant
• Retail/restaurant of at least 10%
• Pedestrian orientation
Ruben R. Barrera with Bracewell & Giuliani, LLP, 106 S. St. Mary's Street, San
Antonio represented the owners of Lakeside and Enclave Apartments at La Frontera PUD
.234
DECEMBER 7, 2006
#39. Mr. Barrera spoke against the rezoning. He added that the main concerns of the
owners regarding the rezoning are:
• Increase in the multi-family density, which they feel would cause an economic
harm to the existing multi-family units because of the competition.
• Not all of the owners had approved the request for a zoning change.
• The number of property owners that would support the ongoing maintenance
cost for PUD 39 would be reduced by creating a new PUD. •
There being no further testimony, the public hearing was closed.
9A.2. Consider public testimony regarding the application filed by the Georgetown
Railroad Company Inc to originally zone 829.53 acres to PUD 71 District, which consists of
two tracts (1) North of FM 1431 west of IH-35, and east of the Georgetown Railroad: and
(2) South of FM 1431 west of IH-35 and east of the proposed extension of Wyoming
Springs Drive. Jim Stendebach, Planning and Community Development Director made the
staff presentation. This voluntary annexation by Georgetown Railroad is for 829.53 acres
fronting FM 1431 and IH-35. It provides an opportunity to expand the development that has
recently taken place east of IH-35 at University Boulevard. This intersection is rapidly
developing into one of the primary retail centers in the city and offers unique opportunities
for commercial, residential and mixed-use development along the University Boulevard/FM
1431 corridor. The PUD provides for two major development parcels: •
1. Commercial uses will be permitted on the 250.31 acres fronting IH-35 east of
the Georgetown Railroad and are permitted up to 12 stories within 1,000 feet
of IH-35& FM 1460.
2. Mixed uses will be permitted on the 579.22 acres south of FM 1431 west of
the Georgetown Railroad.
The mixed-use designation will permit uses including single-family residential, town
homes, apartments, retail, restaurant, office and entertainment uses and mixed
commercial/ residential uses. There are special provisions that will restrict some
commercial uses. In addition, there are special provisions designed to protect existing
single-family residential uses and for mixed-use buildings. The Planning and Zoning
Commission recommended approval of the proposed PUD at their November 29, 2006,
meeting.
Mayor Maxwell opened the public hearing. There being no public testimony, the
public hearing was closed. •

WHEREAS, experts believe that the ozone levels experienced in the Austin-Round
Rock area have adverse health effects, especially on children and individuals with
respiratory problems; and
WHEREAS, as a proactive response to the region's elevated ozone levels, the 5-

Performance Evaluation Report. (CAPER) Mona Ryan, Community Development Coordinator
made the staff presentation. The Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report:
• Provides accountability to the public by describing successes in meeting

This report is required by the Department of Housing and Urban Development and is
due at HUD by the end of the calendar year.
Mayor Maxwell opened the public hearing. There being no public testimony, the public
hearing was closed.
ORDINANCES:
8.A.1. Consider an ordinance zoning 829.53 acres to PUD 71 District, which consists
of two tracts (1) North of FM 1431, west of IH35, and east of the Georgetown Railroad; and
(2) South of FM 1431, west of IH35 and east of the proposed extension of Wyoming Springs
Drive. (Second Readingl Jim Stendebach, Planning and Community Development Director
made the staff presentation. The voluntary annexation requested by Georgetown Railroad is
• 829.53 acres fronting FM 1431 and IH-35 will provide an opportunity to expand the
development that has recently taken place east of IH-35 at University Boulevard. This
intersection is rapidly developing into one of the primary retail centers in the city and offers
unique opportunities for commercial, residential and mixed-use development along the
University Boulevard/FM 1431 corridor. This Planned Unit Development (PUD) for 829.53
acres provides for two major development parcels as follows:
1. Commercial uses will be permitted on the 250.31 acres fronting IH-35 east of
the Georgetown Railroad and are permitted up to 12 stories within 1,000 feet
of IH-35 and FM 1460.
2. Mixed uses will be permitted on the 579.22 acres south of FM 1431 west of the
Georgetown Railroad.
There are special restrictions concerning the commercial uses and mixed use buildings. In
addition, there are special provisions designed to protect the existing single-family residential
uses. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the proposed PUD at
• their November 29, 2006, meeting.

8.A.2. Consider an ordinance rezoning 9.04 acres, located south of Hesters Crossing
Road between La Frontera Boulevard and Kouri Avenue, from PUD 39 District to PUD 70
District. (Also known as La Frontera-Town Center) (Second Reading) Jim Stendebach,
Planning and Community Development Director made the staff presentation. PUD 39 is the La
Frontera West PUD. The owner of the 9-acre tract referenced above is selling the property to
a developer who wants to construct a mixed-use development on the property. Because the
property will have a new owner and because the development will require some changes to
the existing development standards, the owner is requesting a change of zoning from the
existing PUD 39 to a new PUD 70. This new PUD will have the same development standards
as PUD 39, except for the following differences:
• A reduction in setbacks along Hester's Crossing Road from 60 ft. to 8 ft. This •
will make it consistent with the setbacks already in place for the other
roadways.
• The option of using an alternate landscape plan in order to ensure adequate
landscaping even with the small setbacks.
• An increase in density from 35 units/acre to 39 units/acre.
• A maximum allowance of 360 multifamily units.
• The entire La Frontera West PUD had an original allocation of 900 multifamily
units. 777 units have been constructed, which means only 123 additional
multifamily units are currently allowed in La Frontera. By creating this new
PUD, the overall count of allowable multifamily units will increase from 123 to
360.
• A requirement that multifamily housing must have structural parking and must
include a mix of other uses.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the proposed zoning change
at their September 20, 2006, meeting.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES: •
*6.A. Consider approval of the January 11 2007 City Council meeting minutes.
This item was approved under the consent agenda.
PRESENTATIONS:
7.A.1. Consider a presentation concerning the Event Facilities Assessment Report
prepared by Economics Research Associates (ERA). David Kautz, Assista.nt City Manager
made the staff presentation. Economics Research Associates (ERA) was retained by the City
in May 2006 to analyze alternative concepts for a major new event facility that could be
developed in Round Rock. A portion of the funding for the study was provided by the Round
Rock Chamber of Commerce. The purpose of ERA's assignment was to provide analytical
information necessary for the City Council and business community to make the most
appropriate investment decision regarding whether a new event facility should be
developed, and if so, what the most appropriate type of facility would be. The objectives of •
the study included research of at least five facility types suitable for the community. Those
were-a Performing Arts Center, Civic Center, Convention Center/Conference Center, Special
Events Center, and an Arena.
The consultant interviewed a broad cross-section of people in the community
regarding their views, preferences and goals concerning a possible event facility. The
consultant then identified and examined facilities in comparable markets, where possible, to
determine their functionality and potential for best meeting the preferences and goals
discussed in the community interviews. The report summarizes the consultant's findings and
has a great deal of detailed information about each of the event center types that were
examined. In addition, the report offers insight about how various event facility types tend
to function and perform. The report also included that some type of public-private
partnership would be necessary to bring this project to fruition because of the limited ability
of any of the facility types to fully cover costs. Therefore, a future business partner would •
influence the location and specific facility characteristics.
7.6.1. Consider a presentation from the Task Force to Encourage Philanthropy for
Arts and Cultural Activities. Dale Ricklefs, Library Director introduced this item and briefly
outlined the purpose of the Task Force.
John Gordon, Task Force Chairperson gave an overview the Task Force's duties and the
research of inventory they conducted concerning the following:
287
JANUARY 25, 2007
• existing performing and visual arts groups and venues in Round Rock,
• needs of existing groups for such venues,
• possible funding sources, and
• a proposed non-profit structure for the funding of such groups and venues.
The recommendation of the Task Force follows.
The City of Round Rock should work on building its Arts infrastructure.
Funds from private citizens, the City of Round Rock, the Round Rock Independent
• School District, and Texas State University at Round Rock should be used to
construct a Performance Center to be used jointly by the three entities.
The City of Round Rock should utilize a portion of its "Hotel Occupancy Tax" for
funding Arts Programs and facilities to benefit hotel/motel occupants.
• The City of Round Rock should establish a `percentage of construction cost for Art"
requirement for beautifying new public and private developments.
• The City of Round Rock should establish an "admissions tax" on ticket sales for public
events to fund Arts Programs.
• An IRS approved 501(c)(3) non-profit Texas Corporation titled "Round Rock Arts
Society" should be established under the joint control of the City of Round Rock,
Round Rock Independent School District, Texas State University at Round Rock
Higher Education Center, Round Rock Chamber of Commerce and local non-profit
Arts corporations.
ORDINANCES:

Transportation Director made the staff presentation. This ordinance will reduce parking on
• Plantation Cove by non-residents, school personnel from Old Town Elementary School and
