corrected - about 1 or 2 months. Problem for us because we use their data for our modeling.
C. Project Updates
Briggs addressed some issues prior to the project updates: 15 inches of rain this week
so some drainage issues identified. Maple Street homes East 22nd Street, San Jose -
Maldonado Hacienda. Need to figure out what to do to make certain they don't flood in
future. We do have those homes identified in the Chan study and have notified them in the
past. Maybe some Federal Funds later on for remedy to situation. Padfield - is this the first
time they have been flooded - Answered by Briggs - no also Maldonado home was told at
time of building that it was a flood prone area. City had made multiple improvements over
the years and it is a little better - but houses on the creek side of 22nd street will be flooded.
Graff - could we buy those homes? Would that be cheaper? Briggs - that is an option.
But most people feel that is their home and they don't want to leave.
Northwest Blvd Drainage - some damage in this area also. Project is being designed to
help alleviate this in the future. Sansing - asked Miller wasn't there money in the past?
Answered - yes approximately $264,000 . Sansing supported Sierra Ridge previously due to
the drainage issues it would correct. Suggests that City contact David Wolf to see if we can
make something happen to help with this issue.
Benz - Austin Avenue project. Challenge is access - McDonalds - have talked to bank and
McDonalds to see if we can tie in from the bank. Also talk to Papa Johns Pizza to see if we can
allow access to the Hair salon (Maggie's). Briggs - will generate a lot of traffic through the
bank. The hair salon parking is in the right of way. they have about 1 or two spaces that are
not in the right of way. This situation will take lots of coordination to solve. Padfield - does
the project contain concepts for people from downtown to turn left at Morrow at the light?
Benz - yes with signage at Morrow. We will basically need to educate the customers of how
to access those businesses. Briggs - will use a different way to communicate with drivers.
Temporary signage will help with that.
II. LEGISLATIVE REGULAR AGENDA:
(This is for specific action items considered by the Board – greater than $50,000 in value)
D. Review and possible action to approve the minutes from the regular GTAB Board
meeting held on August 13, 2010. -- Laura Wilkins/Jana Kern
Graff has provided some minor corrections. Motion by Padfield, second by Graff
to approve. Approved 3-1 (Sansing did not vote as he was not present at the last
meeting - Meigs, Maples and Boecker absent)
E. Consideration and possible recommendation to award a contract for the 2010 Street
Asphalt Recycling / Mill and Overlay contract. -- Mark Miller
Miller presented the item gave history of what this project is and what the process is
and how it works. Sansing - does this dollar amount do all the streets listed. Answered
yes it will. Briggs clarified this is general fund. Graff - why not more bidders? Benz -
shocked that we did not get more. Benz believes the main reason is that they cannot compete
with the pricing given by Cutler. Motion by Graff, second by Sansing to recommend
approval. Approved 4-0 (Meigs, Maples and Boecker absent)
F. Consideration and possible recommendation for the award of the annual bid for
flexible base material, sand, rock and sandy loam to vendors Georgetown Transportation

our process – will use Sanborn Map Co. Will help us with the ordinance and revenue
analysis. Rundell - Stormwater Utility authorized under Local Government Code.
Have not done this in 18 years. Right now not capturing info correctly/completely –
need to do this correctly and ensure cost recovery is being done. Question Padfield -
clarification on inequity. Answered by Rundell - LUE’s not recorded correctly now -
an LUE from 1993 is not the same as an LUE today. We should be updating this every 5
years. Briggs explained – important fiduciary responsibility. We should update to be
fair to the rate payers. Came up recently due to newly annexed areas – we need to go
back and bring everything up to date. Rundell – consultant did our original analysis –
there are probably revenues we are losing. Question - Geiselbrecht - is this step one?
Answered - Rundell that is correct – will wrap up in February. Question - Padfield –

Well into writing the draft report. Not trying to rewrite – just update. Ped plan will
be separate. Public meetings have been held – but not much participation. However
will try to get more people involved/interested in future discussions. Garrett Burchett -
Kimley-Horn – presented travel demand model info. Model determines number of lanes.
Makes certain Georgetown has the right demographics. Question - Geiselbrecht. - How
does the model coordinate with the CAMPO Model? Answered by Burchett
Georgetown has model – different from CAMPO –but it does include same CAMPO
project and zone structure. Using same assumptions as CAMPO. Control totals are
the same. Question - Padfield – began with essential data – do we feel it is adequate
data? Answered by Burchett - Yes – used traffic counts – several different years along
with Williamson County data from their recent update. Also, TxDOT held a round of
workshops – list of projects – draft policy for implementation – with final adoption
this fall. Question by Geiselbrecht – will it address mass transit? Burchett -
No routes – but just reinforce what work has already been done to lay ground work for
a more formal plan. Question by Bill Sattler – have you identified any economic
development areas for traffic patterns – such as a LaFrontera type thing? Burchett -
Specifically, no – model follows the comp plan – modeling a land use that is intense for
certain
areas – along the comp plan. Question - Sattler – is it City’s responsibility to identify
those areas? Burchett - we are assuming 2035 totally built out and accounted for.
Question - Padfield – drawings – mentioned things that could be looked at before we
move on are those different options or copies of the same one? Burchett - They are
basically the same - but we also brought a copy of the plan as it exists today. We did
not bring a lot of options. Basically we are putting together our options that City staff
is working with us on the things they are seeing - taking that info back and testing
it all. There will be an opportunity to refine those in the future.

Board may, at any time, recess the Regular Session to convene in Executive Session at the request of the

are subject to action in the Regular Session that follows.
I. STAFF BOARD COMMENTS/QUESTIONS:
(This is a short informational time regarding items where specific actions are not requested or needed)
A. Introduction of Visitors
B. Recent CAMPO Actions -The 2035 plan has been approved. Model updates have been
released, working on plan update.
C. Project Updates - All projects are moving along.
Austin Avenue Traffic Safety Improvements - To provide update on Open House that
was held on June 2, 2010.: Several business owners/managers attended the open house
and expressed there concern about the proposed project.
Denny Meyer - McDonald's stated that he is opposed to this project for these reasons:
1) The corner of Austin Ave and Williams Drive has been this way every since
McDonald's has been there. In the last nine years I have seen one accident. I do not
feel that intersection is the most dangerous intersection in town.
2) If this project does move forward I feel that it will have a impact to my business.
My estimation of this impact could be as much as 40 to 50 percent to my business.
3) McDonald's builds their store based on convenience. Our north bound customers
would have to turn left at Morrow, right on service road, and right on Williams Dr.
to access our business. It would be very confusing for the people not familiar with
the area, since they would not able to make a left hand turn out of McDonald's to get
back to the interstate.
4) I am not happy with this proposed project. I hope that will be a fact base decision
vs an emotional decision.
II. LEGISLATIVE REGULAR AGENDA:
(This is for specific action items considered by the Board – greater than $50,000 in value)
D. Board nominations and election of Vice-Chair of the GTAB Board.-- Tina Geiselbrecht

Action: Motion Sansing, seconded by Graff to approve minutes of May 14, 2010
with correction and May 26, 2010 as presented.
Approved 7-0
F. Consideration and possible recommendation to award the annual Street Striping
contract to DIJ Construction of Bertram, Texas for the purpose of installing pavement
stripes and markings in the estimated annual amount of $77,760.00. -- Mark Miller
Discussion: Benz explained that this is the annual bid for street striping and pavement
marking. To be used on as need basis
Action: Motion by Padfield, seconded by Boecker to award the annual bid to DIJ Construction
in an estimated amount of $77,760.00
Approved 7-0
G. Consideration and possible recommendation to approve Amendment No. 1 to Task
Order No. KCI-09-002 with Kennedy Consulting, Ltd., of Georgetown, Texas, for
professional engineering services related to the DB Wood Road/Shell Road at Williams
Drive Intersection Improvements Project that will increase the task order by $49,300.00
making the total of the task order $133,800.00 – Bill Dryden, Tom Benz
Discussion: Dryden stated that in task order KCI 09-002 the scope of services included traffic
signal layout, utility coordination, WPAP report preparation, PS&E
development, construction phase services. This amendment is for traffic control,
preparation of SW3P, coordination with Williamson County, temporary
easement survey, public involvement, alternate bid preparations, and city
standard development.
There was lengthy discussion on how these items were missed in the original
task order.
Action: Motion by Padfield, seconded by Meigs to approve amendment No. 1 to Task Order
KCI 09-002 in the amount of $49,000.00 along with a submittal, to Council, on what
was the scope of services on the original task order and what the scope of services
are on this amendment.
Approved 7-0
H. Consideration of potential alternatives and possible recommendation of direction concerning
a TxDOT project to correct the access from IH 35 Southbound Frontage Road to Southfork
Drive – Bill Dryden Tom Benz
Discussion: Benz gave a brief history of this TxDOT project. The end result is the drive is very
steep. Due to the existing Atmos gas lines, the hump was created at the top of the
intersection. This hump causes several types of vehicles to scrape their under
frames with the concrete causing impediments to the access for the properties
fronting Southfork Drive. Briggs reminded the Board that this project was
constructed by TxDOT under TxDOT's direction for the driveway.
Some of our options are to enter into an advanced funding agreement with
TxDOT or try and get an access agreement through the apartment complex.
Action: Motion by Sansing, seconded by Padfield, to approve the AFA with the direction for
Staff to try and negotiate with the apartment complex for the City take over that road.
Approved 7-0
I. Discussion and possible recommendation related to the issuance of tax supported,
General Obligation Bonds authorized by the votes in November 2008 for projects
to be included in the 2010/11 budget, and discuss related policy issues. -- Micki
Rundell, Ed Polasek
Discussion: Polasek and Rundell gave the board a brief overview and then discussed
the projects listed on the TIP.
Action: Motion by Padfield, seconded by Graff to recommend approval of the Bond TIP,
totaling $9.5M along with the approval of the GTEC TIP
Approved 7-0
Motion by Sansing, seconded by Graff to adjourn meeting
Approved 7-0

I. STAFF BOARD COMMENTS/QUESTIONS:
(This is a short informational time regarding items where specific actions are not requested or needed)

& Valerie Covey
Discussion: Briggs gave an update to the Board since the last meeting that was held
on April 09, 2010. Briggs wanted to make clear that this is not an either/or for the northern
or southern route. Both connections could serve the purpose for mobility through the
community. Both connections could be supported. Up to this point on the Overall Trans-
portation Plan (OTP) staffs focus has been on the Inner Loop connection, but that does not
mean that the southern connection to the frontage road could not also be supported. Briggs
suggested that the Board/Staff not look at these connections as an either/or but to see if the
connections are supportable for the mobility of this section of town and to see if one is more
constructability at the present time. Today we will look at that and at funding.
Proposed Loop Connector.pdf Proposed Loop Connector.pdf Project Unmined.pdf Project Unmined.pdf Scholarship Parkway.pdf Scholarship Parkway.pdf
Polasek gave a general overview of what was being considered. The Bypass when Kennedy
opened the bids for the County as part of the corridor study, they looked at the Inner Loop
section and then looked at alternatives from the Inner Loop all the way to Westinghouse
Road. So, ultimately the Bypass, once it goes through the environmental study could be
placed anywhere from the Inner Loop to Westinghouse Road. Today we are here to discuss
two alternatives - North Alignment and South Alignment, which relate to Frost/Weir Land
Use Plan. Benz informed the Board he thought there were three options - Do Nothing, North
Alignment, and South Alignment and gave the pros and cons- See below.
SOUTHWEST BYPASS
FROM FM 2243 (LEANDER RD) TO IH 35
Alignment Analysis
DO NOTHING
·County may reallocate 2008 Bonds funds to other projects.
·Northbound frontage road from Inner Loop to SH 29 becomes even higher priority.
NORTH ALIGNMENT
PROS CONS
$10-15 million with at grade crossing
$20-25 million with bridge over rail
Environmental Concerns – crossing IH 35 is
determine by the NEPA (Up to 5 years to
complete). Yellow portion
Connects to the Inner Loop/ Future SE1/
SH130
Do not know where it will cross IH 35 until
environmental process is completed.
OTP designates it as a freeway Increase cost to design and construction
utilities and road over karsts features
Been through some public meetings Water Quality- Need to separate road and
quarry activities. (Up to 5 years to complete).
Should provide direct access to IH 35
Southbound ramp
Reconstruction of frontage road requires the
NEPA process
Easy access to northbound IH 35 Project may not be able to built before
non-attainment. (yellow portion)
Quarry letter supports this alignmentRail Crossing (at grade vs bridge $$)
SOUTH ALIGNMENT
PROS CONS
Environmental limited to city and county
requirements
Connects to one way frontage road
Consistent with Frost/Weir Land Use Plan.Major Collector – design speed and sight
distance may not fit volume of traffic.
Only a driveway permitted needed to tie into
the IH 35 frontage road.
The road will need to be upgraded to major
arterial.
The project can be built before
non-attainment.
Traffic heading north will have to do a U-turn
at Westinghouse Rd.
Should be regular installation of utilities Westinghouse and IH 35 intersection may
come congested.
Rail Crossing (at grade vs bridge $$)
Benz stated that there may be other pros and cons out there but just wanted to bring the
bigger ones forward at this time.
There was lengthy discussion between the Board, County and Citizens on the justification
on the alignments, funding, environmental, ROW, etc.
Action : Motion by Sansing, seconded by Boecker to use the Northern Alignment as the
priority for the City/County, to also move forward with the section through the
Frost/Weir Tract - the Southern alignment, referred to as Scholarship Parkway, as the
secondary alternative. To also study adding a traffic light at the intersection of the Railroad
Track and the Inner Space Cave.
Friendly amendment by Graff to leave open the option for some of the private partnerships
on building of these roads in the future. Friendly amendment accepted by Sansing & Boecker.
Approved 6-0 (Keith Brainard absent)
D. Recommendation to authorize approving a resolution of support related to the
Pass-Thru Funding request for IH35 Frontage Roads by Williamson County. Ed Polasek
Discussion: Polasek stated that the County is completing a Pass-Through application for the
IH35 frontage roads. The proposal is from Westinghouse Road to SH29. Part of the
Pass-Through process is to have letters of support or a resolution of support. City of
Georgetown has been asked to provide a resolution of support for this application.
Action: Motion by Sansing, seconded by Graff to recommend to City Council the approval
of resolution.
Approved 6-0 (Brainard absent)
Motion by Sansing, seconded by Graff to adjourn meeting.

Regular Meeting
The Regular GTAB Board meeting was called to order by Keith Brainard on Friday, April 9, 2010 at 10:03
AM.
Board may, at any time, recess the Regular Session to convene in Executive Session at the request of the
Chair, a Board Member, the City Manager, Assistant City Manager, City Council Member, or legal
counsel for any purpose authorized by the Open Meetings Act, Texas Government Code Chapter 551, and
are subject to action in the Regular Session that follows.
I. STAFF BOARD COMMENTS/QUESTIONS:
(This is a short informational time regarding items where specific actions are not requested or needed)
A. Project Progress Reports - Dryden stated that staff has the signed contract for the DB Wood
Rd/Shell Rd project. Asked for completion date. Dryden answered four (4) months. Dryden
also stated that this project should be tying roughly at the same time of the completion of
the Williams Drive project.
Polasek passed out a memo on the Overall Transportation Plan: Polasek stated that the Board
should already know the information, but this setting up the ground work for Rebecca Bray,
of Klotz & Associates, presentation at the public meetings that are coming up in the near
future.
B. Industry/CAMPO/Updates - Polasek stated that CAMPO will be presenting at the April 13,
2010 Council Workshop meeting.
II. LEGISLATIVE REGULAR AGENDA:
(This is for specific action items considered by the Board – greater than $50,000 in value)
C. Review and possible action to approve the minutes from the regular GTAB Board meeting
held on March 12, 2010. -- Laura Wilkins
Discussion: Amendment to Item 'J' in the Motion - change TRV to TRZ.
March minutes were corrected on April 9, 2010
Action: Motion by Graff, seconded by Boecker to approve the minutes with stated
amendment.
Approved 7-0
D. Consideration and possible recommendation on issues related to alignment, design,
environmental, Right of Way and other issues related to the constructability of the
Southwest Bypass from SH29 to IH35, West of IH35. -- Jim Briggs, Ed Polasek,
& Valerie Covey
Discussion: Briggs gave an overview. Conversations with Williamson County.
GTEC has funded the portion between 29 and 2243 request is to connect to the south to IH 35.
Conversations with TCS on a route through the quarry and impact to the Frost Weir Trust.
Jointly approved funding of routing study -to look at options in the area. number of studies
have already been conducted “red dot” route already quarried. Dr. Weir managing the
property to the north and has filed a concept plan for future land use plan amendment
(solid red) for a defined connection point at 2243. Route, funding and timing are key to
major property owners in obtaining ROW. Commissioner Covey - this is an important
project. We need something on the west side – when IH 35 is closed there are problems.
When the 29 to Leander road project is complete – there will be a problem. When Galo builds
the 3000 – 4000 homes they have planned - there will be a problem. The problems are
inevitable. If the project was easy – it would have already been done. County is very serious
about the project. Look at the various options and get feedback. Mr. Daigh has been asked to
pull everything together. Daigh gave some history - main problem has been funding. TxDOT
did not have funding and so County and City started working together - came up with “smile”
design. Boecker expressed concerns about the cost of the project – due to bridges. Briggs
answered – most of the project will be designed at grade.
Additional discussion regarding route, funding, environmental, etc.
Brainard asked for Briggs to come back in May with a consensus
No Motion – Direction from the Board - Brainard asked Briggs to determine a date to meet
before the end of the month. Comeback with everything here including info from the
county on the project (constraints and utilities) and form consensus with the County and
provide more concrete guidance for Council. Meeting date will be April 23
rd
@ 10:00 AM.
Break
Returned at 11:50 am
E. Consideration and possible action regarding how the City should proceed with the
development of the FM 1460 project. Ed Polasek
Discussion: Polasek gave the board an update on the development on FM 1460. Staff had
a meeting with TxDOT on April 5, 2010. Right now the approved environmental is still
active on the FM 1460 project, because of the two projects being done in Round Rock.
However, if no construction or no activity occurs starting in 2011, after the completion
of the two projects in Round Rock, the environmental will lapse. One of the things discussed
at the meeting was to do the City's portion in segments - Segment 1 Quail Valley to Inner
Loop, Segment 2 - Inner Loop to City of Georgetown ETJ(we would not have to work out
of our ETJ). See attached map.
1460projects2.pdf 1460projects2.pdf
Polasek also stated that by doing this project in segments would be a big help to the City.
At the present time TxDOT has an active cost center on the 1460 project. What this means to us is
that we will not have to pay for doing any work on 1460 on behalf of the State.
At the March 12, 2010 meeting the Board gave direction to staff to move forward with the
Engineering Design on either the entire alignment or with segmentation. Since TxDOT agreed
with segmentation, the City can move forward with segment #1 using excess bond money. If
we can negotiate with the Engineer that did all of the previous work it is possible for city staff to
bring a Notice to Proceed to the next GTAB Board meeting. Or, we could move forward with

Proceed. Graff asked Polasek answered that there will be Right Of Way (ROW) that needs to
be purchased. It was asked about the cost of ROW and answered that this time staff does not

Regular Meeting
CALL TO ORDER at 10:04 a.m. by Aldridge
Board may, at any time, recess the Regular Session to convene in Executive Session at the request of the
Chair, a Board Member, the City Manager, Assistant City Manager, City Council Member, or legal
counsel for any purpose authorized by the Open Meetings Act, Texas Government Code Chapter 551, and
are subject to action in the Regular Session that follows.
Consideration and possible action to approve the minutes from regular GTAB Board meeting held on A.
November 13, 2009. -- Jana Kern
Discussion: Padfield - Someone named twice on staff present (Marsha Iwers). Then on Page 2 -
near bottom adopt the "dame" roadway section - word should be changed to "same". Changes made
2/26/10
Action: Motion by Padfield to approve with stated changes, second by Sansing - Approved 5-0
(Brainard and Williams absent)
Consideration and possible recommendation on a Comprehensive Plan Amendment changing the B.
Overall Transportation Plan (OTP) for 293 acres and 17 acres in the Addison Survey, also known as
Lera B. Hughes Tract, located at 1200 CR 110 (CPA-2009-003). -- Edward G. Polasek, AICP, Principal
Planner.
Discussion: Polasek presented the item . Hughes Drive across SE 1 to Maple and Inner Loop .
We would support if there was a traffic study. No need for the road except for the use of the project.
It could be funded through 4A or 4B. However, we do not recommend for the OTP. Rebecca Bray
stated that they did the study "with" or "without" Hughes project scenario. Everything shows it is a
development driven roadway. It truly doesn't divert much traffic - it is only to serve the
development. Does not provide a time saving route either. Discussion of Letter and Exhibits.
Polasek explained the documents. Public Hearing by P&Z there will also be one at the City Council
level. We are recommending denial of this project for funding in the OTP. Sansing - what about
future access to that road - way to plan in Inner Loop and other area entrance off Maple all the way
over to Southwestern would be helpful - Benz - Southwestern would provide connection to Maple
with Hughes Drive crossing in the future. Sansing - would the road be at or above grade? Benz
answered below grade - Hughes would cross as a bridge over SE1. Question Padfield - in the
ultimate design will it be a part of the freeway or a frontage road? Benz - possible option a possible
frontage road to extend . Briggs it is planned - but only available in the ultimate design - full
build-out. Hughes - concerned about possibly being cut off from the other property. Padfield - are
we saying her access from the south would be at Maple Street until the frontage road was built?
Polasek - yes - we could build access in the interim until it is built out. Discussion about the level of
the roadway (if it would be depressed until you get to the ramps) Answered by Dryden - Freeway
section will be depressed and will hit at the alignment of the future main lanes. Briggs - how
depressed? Where will the grade of the actual road will be in contrast to the land today? Dryden -
could be as much as 20 - 25 feet deep and sloping back up about 10 to 1 to prevent a channel. Hughes
drive will not prevent connectivity from one side of the property to the other. In the ultimate design
we will have bridges that will come up to that point. Additional explanation of what will be built -
using maps as visual. Briggs - Are there plans for interim driveway access? Answered Dryden -
currently no plans for interim access. Additional explanation of the maps by Dryden. Hughes
family - Asked question under temporary construction easement - what will we get back? answered
by Dryden - the land itself and it will be re-vegetated. Sansing commented that a retaining wall
would probably be a better scenario rather than slopes. Briggs confirmed it would be better to review
the possibility of building a retaining wall.
Action: Motion by Padfield denial of amendment changing the OTP based on TIA analysis.
Comment by Sansing - idea of being able to proceed in the future to what we have been discussing to
cross the property and build the bridge at a later date. Made as an amendment to the motion.
Second by Geiselbrecht. Approved: 5-0 with amendment (Brainard and Williams absent).
Polasek said he would take this item to Council next week.
Consideration and possible action concerning a progress report on the Overall Transportation Plan
Update process and Task Order with Klotz Associates, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $46,432.00 to
complete the Georgetown Overall Transportation Plan Update (OTP). Edward G. Polasek, AICP,
Principal Planner and Elizabeth Cook, Director of Community Development.
Discussion: Polasek explained the item asking for the remaining amount. Consultant and City
working with CARTS - money encumbered in last year's budget . Asking to approve the additional task
order with money from last years budget. First update on OTP Process: Waiting on CAMPO - have
approved the scenario - we have enough to start the modeling process. Modeling up date getting rolling
pretty well - getting ready for public meeting. Scheduled Council Workshop on April 13th. Then public
meetings after that. Council meeting presentation. A bigger issue of this Board and the Council is the
Sidewalk Master Plan. Sidewalk element - incorporate into sidewalk transportation plan - binders of
sidewalk master plan handed out with current code we use for sidewalks. very good document. We will
send the same info to Council. Rebecca Bray - we are working heavily on the modeling and in the
meantime we are working on sidewalk plan update. Take existing plan we have and update to reflect
current conditions. Work in progress - we will identify the gaps and what we will focus on. We will
research a number of funding options and priorities for the sidewalk plan - public improvements districts
- safe routes to school, etc. Good plan but no mechanism set in place to address certain things every year.
Aldridge - will we build more sidewalks faster? Miller - yes. Geiselbrecht - Williams Drive - what
sidewalk accommodation are planned? Answered by Polasek - we will look at inventory of sidewalks -
we will up date the plan and identify the gaps - not enough money to bring up to ADA standards - but
any reconstruction project will be built to ADA as we build /update. Geiselbrecht - asked about the
inventory. - answered by Polasek - we are just looking for the gaps right now. We used some GTEC
money the first couple of years. Geiselbrecht - once you identify the gaps will you then come up with
funding mechanism to fund it? Rebecca responded correct. Padfield then re-do the inventory? Polasek
answered - yes. Miller - we get approximately $75,000/year to bring things up to standards. We apply
every year or every other year for additional funding. Project is eligible - but we have not gotten the
funding approved yet. Austin and Williams part of the project they are looking for crossing across IH 35
for students. To tie to existing sidewalk done in Phase 1 and that will complete one section on Williams
Drive. Padfield - which sections three years from now - do we know? Miller not yet - no additional plan.
Geiselbrecht. - bond election or something could be a funding mechanism. Polasek - by having this
prioritized in our plan there may be other funding sources - we will be more competitive in the region by
having an updated inventory plan. Additional comments/discussion. Rebecca - highest priorities is
paying attention to the schools - then activity centers. Padfield. since we are on this item "C" - are we
saying that the consultant work is part of the $46,000 we are going to work on? Polasek yes - but part of it
will be for the sidewalk plan and we have to do something else. Rebecca - ADA portion will have to be
funded some other way. Padfield - $46,000 is that all going to go to sidewalks? Polasek - No, some will
be used for 2nd round public meeting and some for final plan preparations. Padfield what is Kimley
Horn going to do? Answered by Polasek - they will do the modeling and presenting the modeling and
contact sensitive work.
Action: Motion by Padfield, second by Graff to recommend approval of the task order as part of
the larger project. Approved 4-0 (Brainard, Williams and Sansing absent)

Discussion: Curb and Gutter - under way - next year new street repairs Williams drive
progressing - problem with Verizon not getting out of the way - Padfield - what are we going to do about
that. Briggs we are a partner - Williamson County is the lead - they are dealing with it. Dryden - Verizon
has laid the bypass conduit - 30 days is what we have been told - end of March. College St. Bridge - most
of the bridge is built - building the circle itself and tying it back to the bridge. Benz - the weather has
significantly delayed us. March is still an opening time line - but it will be determined by the upcoming
weather. Sedro Trail - Trying to work out a connection with Penny Lane and then out to Williams Drive.
Briggs - Not sure all the land owners are in agreement- but this would possibly allow a light at the
intersection with Olde Oak. Dryden - Mr. Deavers called today before the meeting. He has been very
concerned about connectivity for the neighborhood. We have been working on this issue for a long time.
DB Wood/Shell Road - has been brought to the board before. Lane assignments - right turn lane - it is
currently out for bids alternative is to deduct that out of the project. Mr. Curry...? asked for left turn slot -
safety issue and the project currently has the left turn slot. Aldridge asked if the board was going to be
able to review one more time. Dryden - previous direction was that we would add the right turn. Briggs
- Board took action in September and then in November they saw it again. We thought that the second
time was good. Meeting coming up is an informative meeting and public comment - not a hearing. We
can bring that back and share with the board and then make adjustments based on that. Benz - We will
bring it back to the Board in March meeting - yesterday was very positive (with the businesses). We will
work with HEB transportation department to keep access while we build. Regarding the bank - we can
do that part on Sunday or a bank holiday and work that out. Felt that the project was well received and
we did well at getting them involved - got their e-mail addresses and will keep them informed through
website and e-mail. The only thing we have received so far has been positive.
