Referred to memo from Jim which is staff’s recommendation.
Gonzalez – why does staff feel that southern route is best option?
Answered by Calhoun/Benz – more defined see notes at the bottom of
the estimate. Question Ross – have we run numbers on the estimated increase
in tax revenues. Answered Thomas – not yet but he can do that.
A guess would be $100,000 - $150,000 sales tax revenue or commercial
property taxes. McLachlan spoke regarding the position of the Wolf Family
and the Church. They support Alternative 2. Feel it is best option for all
concerned. Discussion continued. Gemar addressed the environmental side.
Some environmental could come into play. They have done a preliminary and
have not noticed anything – but there is still a potential but we won’t know until
we get out there and begin the assessment. The land has always been AG use –
so we don’t anticipate anything major – but again that is just an initial observation.
Thomas – could run some numbers on a 100,000 SF project – Gabe suggests we
throw in a SWAG factor... Ross believes we should eliminate option 1 and go with
option 2. Gonzalez thinks it is a good investment to go with option 2 for the return
over time. Ross would like to see tighter numbers. Armour would like to see final
numbers first before Board makes a recommendation. Gabe asked Ms. McLachlan
to work with staff – get more defined numbers and come back for a decision by the
Board. Benz – said we can tighten up the numbers surveying and determining the
need for bridge or culverts and the environmental – so we will have some
consulting fees in order to tighten up the numbers. Estimated $20,000 to do the
environmental to get better numbers for the project. Benz will bring a task order
forward for the next meeting (September) we will have an answer by the October
Meeting. Gabe suggests they move forward with the MSA in place now.
Ross would rather they bring a task order to ensure it is all done correctly and
they could still have an answer in 60 days. Staff agreed to bring package of
information with recommendation will be brought by staff at next meeting in
September.
NO ACTION
D. Monthly Financial Report and Quarterly Investment Report
Lankford presented the financials for July.
NO ACTION
E. Industry/CAMPO/Updates

NO ACTION
II. LEGISLATIVE REGULAR AGENDA:
(This is for specific action items considered by the Board – greater than $50,000 in value)
F. Review and possible action to approve the minutes from the regular GTEC Board meeting held
on July 21, 2010. -- Paul Brandenburg
Sansing - Why take out wording “ensure public trust through responsible action”
Answered by Brandenburg – same discussion came up at the Council meeting also of
whether it should be in or not. Sansing suggested we deal with it later. Motion to
approve by Gonzalez, second by Armour Approved 3-2 (Painter absent – Sansing,
Kelly abstained as they were not at the last meeting - Ross was out of the room during
this item)
G. Discussion and possible action to review the current GTEC by-laws and recommend any
proposed changes to the City Council.
Brewer presented the item. Latest change in 2004 – things related to meetings.
No changes to recommend at this time – but any changes the Board wants to make
would need to be ratified by Council. Sokolow – does not recommend any changes at
this time – maybe at a later date if changes happen to Local Government Code.
NO ACTION
H. Project eligibility findings regarding the Northern Extension of Wolf Ranch Parkway - Mark
Thomas
Item was prepared by Ed Polasek but presented by Mark Thomas. Brandenburg
explained how the process has worked in the past. Have to find that it is eligible for
funding before it can be put on the project list for TIP/OTP. Thomas and Benz showed
presentation on the proposed project. (Summit @ Rivery Park). Kelly/Anderson
completed Conflict of Interest Forms and did not vote on this item. Discussion followed.
Question #1. Answer is YES
Question #2. 2-A Ross and Gonzalez believe 2A through 2L = YES
Question #3 Ross – 3A – 3G = YES
Question #4 = YES Ross stated that it falls into the first category because it is not in the
OTP yet.
Motion by Ross, second by Gonzalez to find that- The project “Northern Extension of
Wolf Ranch Parkway” conforms to the ballot language establishing the sales tax.
The project constitutes one or more authorized by statute: Item 2 includes: 2A, 2B,
2F, 2G, 2H, 2I, 2J, 2K, 2L; Item 3 includes: 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D, 3E, 3F and 3G as documented
by the motion. Further discussion before the vote. Ross amended his motion to remove
3F and 3G. Approved 4-2 as amended (Anderson and Kelly abstained. Painter Absent)
I. Consideration and possible recommendation to authorize a real estate Purchase Contract
with Robert and Bonnie Molnar in the amount of $300,000.00, plus closing costs not to exceed
$2,000.00, for the purchase of 1.64 acres of land and improvements for the construction,
operation and maintenance of public road improvements in connection with the Southeast
Arterial One Road Project. – Terri Glasby Calhoun, Real Estate Services Coordinator, and
Thomas R. Benz, P.E., Systems Engineering Director
Calhoun presented the item. Handed out budget sheets for both real estate items
(were not available when packets were assembled). Armour - Why mineral rights not
also transferred? Sokolow – not unusual in this part of the State for owners to keep the
mineral rights. Oil and gas issues in this state – it is just basic. Kelly said if it was 100
acres instead of 1.64 acres it might be important for the owners to keep. In the future
we will address it. Motion by Ross, second by Anderson to approve the real estate
purchase for Molnar property. Approved 6-0 (Painter absent.)
J. Consideration and possible recommendation to authorize the deposit of $325,000.00 into the
registry of the court pursuant to the Award of Special Commissioners rendered in Cause
No. 10-0104-CC1, City of Georgetown vs. Roger E. Caluette and Patricia A. Caluette, et al.,in
connection with the acquisition by condemnation of 11.99 acres of real property and
improvements from Roger E. Caluette and Patricia A. Caluette for the construction,
operation and maintenance of public road improvements, plus Special Commissioners
Fees in the amount of $900.00, in connection with the Southeast Arterial One Road
Project. – Terri Glasby Calhoun, Real Estate Services Coordinator, and Thomas R.
Benz, P.E., Systems Engineering Director
Calhoun presented the item. Appraised value – we did not reach agreement so we are
going to condemnation. They did not come to the hearing but they did object. We
have not deposited money yet – but Caluettes have asked us to deposit the money.
Once we deposit the money we take immediate possession of the property. But the
case is not completely closed. Sokolow – you can take possession but owners can
challenge if they remove the money.. Calhoun if they challenge they can still object on
the value of the land. How long do they have to object? Sokolow depends - it could go
to jury trial. Calhoun - They have not stated what they would want as a dollar value -
but they want us to go ahead and deposit the money. Gonzalez – is there a date in time
as a foundation to base the value of the land? Calhoun – not a date set in time –
probably would use the date of the hearing. Motion by Armour, second by Gonzales to
authorize the deposit. Approved 6-0 (Painter absent)
III. STRATEGIC PLANNING/ISSUES:
MOTION by Armour, second by Gonzales to adjourn Regular Session Approved 6-0 (Painter
absent)

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. Introduction of City Staff and GTEC Board members.
B. Project Progress Reports - Dryden asked if there were any questions concerning the reports.
Armour asked if the appraisals have come in on project 14A (Wolf Ranch Pkwy Extension)?
Dryden stated that they have not come in yet. Ross asked for clarification – Dryden explained
we will take the appraisal and visit with the Wolf Family and based on the Wolf family choice
we will choose the alignment.
C. Monthly Financial Report - given by Brewer
D. Meeting Process - Briggs explained the process and the items for discussion
E. Industry/CAMPO/Updates - Polasek – gave update on CAMPO 2035 Plan. Plan to go to
Council Workshop April 13, 2010. CAMPO is also in the process of revisiting the Joint
Powers Agreement- which is the organizational shell that helps CAMPO operate. This
agreement is between the County, TxDOT, and the transit providers. The revised agreement
shows that Georgetown has 50K people, therefore, Georgetown automatically has a seat on
the CAMPO policy board. If this is approved, City Council will vote for a voting member and
an alternate. Ross – when will this go into effect – Polasek as soon as all five parties sign the
agreement. Ross – how will the City select those two persons. Polasek – depends on the
Mayor. Polasek – we have been working with TxDOT on 1460 project – pass through funding
available. Should we apply for pass through funding or how do we move forward with our
Bond money? Briggs - DB Wood came in half a million under what was budgeted – those
savings can be allocated to the bond projects – this is the proposal to take to Council.

Discussion: None
Action: Motion by Ross, seconded by Painter to approve minutes as presented
Approved 7-0
J. Consideration and possible recommendation to approve an amendment to Task Order No. 1
with HDR Engineering, Inc., of Austin, for professional engineering services for further
environmental investigations to determine the impact of the project to endangered species for
the Southwest Bypass between State Highway 29 (SH 29) and Leander Road (FM 2243) in the
amount of $94,802.00 – Bill Dryden, Tom Benz
Discussion: Dryden explained the item. He stated that additional work needs to be done due
to karst features and the golden cheeked warbler habitat issues. Additional fees depend upon
whether karst features show that there are endangered species present. Plan to do an on
ground study to determine if there are endangered species is in this area, and to see if there are
any heritage trees present. Sansing – several studies have already been done why are we doing
these additional studies? Dryden – with in the past year Williamson County Conservation
Foundation (WCCF) was form. Briggs – no one has gone this far in the project, and because of
the environmental factors we have to do this. If we did not have the WCCF plan, we will not
be able to move forward on this project. Ross – The 400K who pays and to whom? Briggs -
City pays to the plan. Ross - Best case $400K worst case $1.6 MIL? Briggs – yes. Oliver what
things are we doing? Dryden – First - Connectivity of the 4 cave entrances (prove that they are
connected – to pay less money) second is the golden cheeked warbler, third is the heritage
trees. Ross – did we not anticipate this before? Answered by Gemar – originally Wilco
conservation society was not formed – we went with US Fish and Wildlife criteria. Now with
the society being formed (about a year ago) and requires approval of US Fish and Wildlife.
Subconsultant – was working with Wilco - they have a unique program. Ross – anymore
surprises going forward? Gemar – had meeting with representative for Williamson County on
this. Unless they change something with this, which at this point we do not feel that this would
happen. We are comfortable with what we are doing now. Ross – are there contingency fees
built in? Gemar – none expected – unless they change the rules. Oliver – what if they find
birds. Gemar – don’t have to find birds nesting – just pay to mitigate. Additional discussion
on worst case scenario costs. Ross – question about the location of the subcontractors and if
any local firms exist to do these functions. No – except for Diamond Surveying who is from
Georgetown. Painter – explain about negotiations. Gemar – make case to conservation found-
ation that we cannot prove caves are not connected – through scientific data we collect – that
is how we negotiate. Gray areas involved, etc. However, we negotiate for the lowest fee
and feel we can make a very good case for minimal amount. Painter – what happens if we can
not agree – what is our recourse? Gemar – only two have happened – but they have not gotten
out of hand and they have not shown any tendency to be unreasonable. Briggs - could end up
in federal court. So part of the reason the plan was developed is to allow roads to continue to
be developed and appease Conservation groups – this is the best way to reach middle ground.

amount of $94,802.00.
Approved 6-1-0 (Ross opposed)

payments coming up. Sansing - Has the trend been slightly up? Answered by Micki - trend is up.
Ross - first page accounts for the reserve ? Answered by Lankford - what we could spend this year is
the 16.9. Misprint on letter G - should be the $11 million . The $11.2 in the right hand box are bond
funds reserved for SE1. Not counting those funds - it is approximately $5mil. available to spend.
ACTION: NONE
Update report on the City's Sales Tax revenue profile including historical information as well as sales C.
tax revenue projections. -- Micki Rundell
DISCUSSION: Foster gave the presentation. December sales reports were less than expected (across
the country). January actually higher than expected. Some of the revenues not included in
December report due to Christmas sales being so late in the month. Question by Painter on one of
the categories - answered Foster - sales tax revenue from city services that we charge sales tax on
(Electric and Garbage) the we don't send to Comptroller we keep it in house. Comptroller won't
record it but we will. Question from Kelly - is Hope Lumber part of that? Answered by
Foster/Rundell - yes - retail segment with Wolf Ranch - probably 25% of that graph would be Hope
Lumber. Painter - Wolf Ranch off the top of your head what is their vacancy rating? Answered
Rundell/Foster - they are about 90% occupied. Observation Sansing - has noticed it is more difficult
to find parking spot at Wolf Ranch.

DISCUSSION:
ACTION: Dryden - Wolf Ranch Parkway - family declined to participate in any additional cost so we
are going with the City's preferred alignment. The alignment that backs up to Legend Oaks - the
other alignment would cost the City an additional $500,000. Iva McLachlan - said that they would
continue discussions once there was an appraisal - then the family could make a decision. Wolf's
want to wait and make a decision once the appraisal comes in. Benz - City is in the process of getting
an appraisal. Benz - appraisal ordered several weeks ago - hopefully there will be info at next
meeting. Ross - what will be the process once the appraisal comes in? Benz - present to the Wolf's
and see what is possible from a financial point of view Ross - what is the purpose of the appraisal?
Briggs - determine the value of the right of way and then meet with the Wolf family to determine if
they are interested in participating in the project. Ross - so may go back to the southern alignment?
Briggs - currently we have not determined an alignment. Comments for clarification - Sansing - we
are trying to determine if the Wolf family is willing to participate in some of the costs and therefore
what is the bottom line for the City (cost). Ross - when will the appraisal be in ? Benz - probably in
about 30 days.
Lakeway Drive Overpass - still in TXDOT's court - TxDOT to put on the list again in the Stimulus
Package for funding. Armour - question about the study SW Bypass and the Wolf Ranch Parkway -
karst study - per cave to mitigate - costs - We already had one study do we need another study on
endangered species? Benz - Approximately $400K - if interconnected it will be treated as one cave
and it will save us money. Sansing - Wilco Conservation to offset the cost to mitigate? Briggs - yes -
but you still have to do the study. HDR will hire someone to do the physical investigation. Benz -
SW BYpass - ROW identified and northern and southern alignment are still involved in
environmental - then we will present finding to Williamson Co. regarding karst and habitat issues..
971 and Austin Avenue - issued notice to proceed
SE1 - made offers on all properties except Hughes on western side. Reached agreement on one parcel
- family would like to stay in house until they can get another built. We will do possession and use
agreement with the owner.
SW Bypass - specific issues with karst features
Armour - Has Williamson County said anything about contributing bond money to the 14-B?
Answered by Briggs. last conversation project coordinator Daigh still working on that - we were
asked if we were aware that owners would expect some value in return for giving ROW instead of
straight gift of ROW - we said we were aware that they would expect something of value in exchange.
County was expecting us to donate the ROW and they will build the road.
