E. Georgetown Village Public Improvement District (GVPID) monthly financial report for
the month of December 2020 - Nathan Parras, Assistant Finance Director
• Parras reviewed the December financial update with the Board, which
included CIP project funds from FY20, which will be rolled into FY21 with the
upcoming budget amendment going to City Council on January 12".
• The Board inquired if the funds being rolled forward are encumbered or excess
funds remaining after the CIP projects have been paid for. Eric Nuner,
Assistant Parks and Rec Director stated from the Parks projects, it is both. There
will be a small fund balance remaining after the projects have all been paid,
due to the actual cost coming in just below the projected cost.
F. Transfer of Assets Update - Travis Baird, Real Estates Services Manager
• Baird presented a map that highlighted five tracts of land to which the updates
were regarding. For tract 1, it was originally thought this tract would be
accepted and maintained by the PID, but after further review of the plat, it was
found that the note on the plat states "To Be Maintained by the Homeowner's
Association", so this will not be maintained by the City or the PID. Baird stated
the developer is communicating this information with the HOA regarding this
tract. For Tracts 2 & 3, the developer has provided comments to the City on
deed language. After this is worked through and finalized, this will be the final
step for closing on these tracts and the PID will take ownership and maintain,
as the Board has already recommended acceptance of these. Lastly, for tract 4
& 5, Baird estimates about 60 days for this transfer to be completed as the
developer is working on the punch list of minor work to complete before City
will approve. Once approved, these tracts will be brought to Board for
recommendation for acceptance, and then be presented to City Council for final
acceptance, at which time the PID will take ownership and maintain.
G. GVPID Park Improvement Update - Eric Nuner, Assistant Parks and Rec Director
• Nuner updated the Board that the CIP projects have been completed, with very
minor work being finished up by contractor on punch list items requested by
the City. Nuner also stated that in the next couple of months he would be
bringing the landscape maintenance requests to the Board for direction on level
of service, as the current contract is set to expire this year and the City needs
time to complete the RFP process and secure a contract in time for the new
fiscal year.

H. 5-10-year Capital Improvement Discussion - Wayne Reed, Assistant City Manager
• This discussion is a continuation from the September and November 2020
meetings, and Reed stated the purpose of the continued discussion is to allow
time for the Board to be able to provide staff the direction on which capital
improvement projects they wish to include in the 5-year plan. This direction
allows staff to build the preliminary Service and Assessment Plan, which is
reviewed and updated on an annual basis.
• After discussion amongst each of the Board Members, consensus was that the
priorities on the capital improvement project list were as followed; Shell Road
Landscaping, Entry Monumentation Landscaping, Street Trees along Bellaire
Drive and Rosedale Boulevard, Alley Sealant, Summer Green Park, Bedford
Park, Village Pool Park, Natural Park at Beretta Circle, and ADA Ramps.
• It was mentioned by Reed, during the workshop, that the cost of the projects
will have to be budgeted within the 5-year plan in a way that maintains an
available fund balance. If it is not possible to fund all the proposed projects
within the 5-year plan, which is reviewed and updated on an annual basis, staff
will make a recommendation to the Board using the direction given.
• Staff will begin working on a preliminary 5-year Service Plan and will return
to the Board for an additional discussion on the proposed projects and
assessment, to ensure staff is following the Board's direction while staying
within budget.
