2015 Road Bond Program
Program
Overview
In May 2015, voters approved the 2015 Road Bond Program (“the Program”) in the amount of
$105M. Staff has prioritized the projects schedule based on various existing and pending
commitments into which the City has entered through industrial agreements and/or development
agreements, projected bond funding cash flow and travel demand needs of the citizens.
The proposed schedule was developed over the entire 10‐year life of the Program and presented
to GTAB with the caveat that the schedule was firmly established for only the first two years of
project implementation. Future scheduling will be responsive to funding availability, changes in
development patterns and demands, future coordination of our projects with TxDOT and
Williamson County. Further, the Program projects will be included with the annual CIP projects
list.
At its June 2015 meeting, GTAB unanimously adopted the schedule and caveat and unanimously
recommended is adoption by Council. Given that priorities and needs are dynamic and subject to
change, the schedule will be reviewed annually as part of the CIP to assure it continues to meet
the goals and objectives of the City and maintains the terms of the “Contract with the Voters” of
not having greater than 2¢ per year increase to the City’s tax rate not more than 10¢ total increase
in the tax rate over the life of the Program.

Airport Improvement Grants
Funding Process
Dec 2015
Description AIP Grant Funding
Purpose Provide Information Related to Airport Grant Funding Process
Grant Manager Russ Volk C.M., Airport Manager
Notes:
The normal process for budgeting/financing airport grants is in conjunction with the city’s budget
process. Since the grant is actually administered and managed by TxDOT Aviation, only the city’s 10%
share appears in our budget/financial documents.
When the city knows in advance of a grant, the city’s share is budgeted as a CIP item in the airport
budget. A funding source is determined for the cost share. The funding sources for the most recent five
airport improvement grants included the airport fund, bond proceeds and a cash transfer from the general
fund. A breakdown is as follows:
1114GRGTN cash funded from Airport fund
1214GRGTN Cash funded from Airport fund
1314GRGTN Bond issuance
1414GRGTN Cash for general fund
1514GRGTN Bond issuance

Good Morning,
My name is Terry Reed. Mary Ann and I have lived at 4406 W Cordoba Circle in
Serenade for over 21 years.
I am opposed to any issuance of a Notice of No Significant Impact for the Fuel Farm
and I demand preparation of a full Environmental Impact Statement for the proposed
1514GRGTN federal grant for the 25 component Airport 2015 CIP.
Thank You
Speech for council meeting October 9, 2015
Good morning, Mr. Chairman—council members. My name is Jerry Brown, and I reside at 100
Pilot Place, immediately north of the airport.
During my almost 50 years of teaching, I have always encouraged my students at every level to
be active in their community. It would be foolish of me not to set the example for them and
others I continue to influence. Therefore, I am here to speak in opposition to any increase in
fuel storage without a full and comprehensive Environmental Impact Statement. More fuel
could lead to more risk of crashes, more risk of explosions, and more runway expansion. I also
speak for those in the neighborhoods around the airport who are unaware of developments
because of the lack of communication by the city in a clear and public manner.
Over 10 years ago, our family carefully chose the property we now own—examining the area
including the animal and plant life. The residential area surrounding the airport includes a
variety of trees that are 200 to 400 years old as well as a wide variety of wildlife. Our property
is designated by the National Wildlife Federation as an advanced, certified wildlife habitat, and
each fall I continue to plant more wild flowers in the meadows on the property to continue to
encourage the presence of wildlife, especially bees, which are currently in danger.
Since the airport is already surrounded by residential area that continues to expand, it seems
that Georgetown might well follow the example of Austin by moving the airport to another
location and developing the current airport into a residential and commercial area which would
help to offset the cost of the new airport. This would also preserve the current wildlife from
further exposure to noise, light, and fuel pollution as well as enhancing the current residential
housing and providing additional housing space for families continuing to move to this area.
Therefore, I strongly oppose any Findings of No Significant Impact being issued for the Fuel
Farm. Instead a full and complete Environmental Impact Statement should be prepared not
only for the Airport 2015 Capital Improvement Plan, but for any federal grants issued for the
GTU in the past decade. I further firmly request that the National Environmental Policy Act
federal grant review process used by the city and TxDOT for our airport be reviewed and
corrected.
Speech for council meeting October 9, 2015
Good morning, Mr. Chairman—council members. My name is Judy Brown. I reside at 100 Pilot
Place, immediately north of the airport. I am opposed to any FONSI for the fuel farm.
In 2004, after decades of teaching, my husband and I moved to Georgetown to be near our
children and grandchildren, and to be of help to my parents. We chose our house carefully, so
that the whole family could enjoy the open space, trees, wildlife, and peace it provided, and so
we would have room for my parents, who lived with us from 2008 until their deaths four years
later. After more than ten years of work, both physical labor and extra jobs, we have created the Page 35 of 133
home we wanted to live in for the rest of our lives—a gathering place for our extended family
and neighbors. It is designated by the National Wildlife Federation as an advanced, certified
wildlife habitat, and in the spring we enjoy a neighborhood decorated with a profusion of wild
flowers.
During this time, the airport was a fairly good neighbor, but without any provision for
discussion and in spite of repeated verbal assurances that no airport expansion was planned,
runways were lengthened and traffic increased—adding to the fuel and noise pollution of our
neighborhood. Lights were added, which erased much of the splendor of the night sky.
Now, if it weren’t for the vigilance of a neighbor, we would not have been aware of this
meeting—to discuss plans for a huge increase in fuel storage. At the least, this would lead to
even more traffic, more noise and fuel pollution, more risk for the natural environment and for
our family—especially the children, who love to run and play outside at Millhaven (the name
they helped us choose). At worst, more fuel would lead to more risk of crashes, more risk of
explosions, and more runway expansion. This action would rob us of our home and rob our
children and grandchildren of their inheritance.
We are not the only family who will be affected. Some have been here—coexisting with the
airport—for over 30 years. Some are caring for elderly parents, children, or grandchildren.
Some, like the young doctors deKeratry and Fields, just built a home in which to raise their little
boys. They have devoted their lives to caring for the people of Georgetown. Your actions will
put them and many other families at risk. Do not make this disastrous mistake. There are other
options available, such as relocating our airport to a property that would allow for long term
growth without ruining neighborhoods.
We are opposed to any FONSI and demand a full and comprehensive EIS.
We, the people who live here, demand the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness
here in Georgetown
RE: Draft Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Fuel Facility
For the Georgetown Municipal Airport (GTU), Georgetown, TX.
Name: My name is Lori Ford and my husband and I have lived in
Georgetown for 17 years and reside at 3801 Roble Grande
Circle.
Do to the time set for this meeting my husband, Rollie Ford
was unable to attend and wanted to make the following
statement.
It is clear that an expansion of the Fuel Facility will enable expansion of the
Georgetown Municipal Airport (GTU), Georgetown, TX.
I have 30 years of public school experience, with more than half as an
administrator. Any expansion of Georgetown's airport will have an adverse effect on
the education of thousands of students in Georgetown.
Page 36 of 133
The Noise Sensitive Map only shows three schools and overstates their distance
from airport property. Three schools which have been open for many years are
entirely omitted: The charter school that directly borders airport property and
located at Northwest and Serenada. Gateway Tech High School located between
Dawn Drive and Williams (behind Taco Bell). Georgetown Alternative School (which
is not a part of Georgetown High School and located at the corner of Stadium Drive
and N. Austin Ave.
A middle school and elementary school are within 2000ft of the airport property and
the flight pattern is near Georgetown High School, and the Alternative School. The
airport is near center of the city and the flight pattern, landings and takeoff cover an
enormous area of the city proper. The City of Georgetown will become Georgetown
Airport City.
What is ironic, the City wants to expand the airport, but there is no large
Georgetown citizen group advocating for its expansion. A survey of who uses the
airport and who benefits from an airport expansion shows that most of these people
do not live in Georgetown, and their children would not be harmed by a larger
airport.
From the Transportation Research Board:
As is evident from numerous studies, there is a considerable body of research
demonstrating that chronic exposure to noise is associated with learning deficits in
children (see citations in Special Note A). For example, a recent study prepared for
the European Union suggests that a 5dB-increase in noise exposure translates to a
2-month delay in reading scores.
The data that supports the claim that students are harmed by airports is
indisputable. Below are multiple links of studies that prove this point.

Based on the Federal Grant Proposal from the city to expand the capacity of the Fuel Farm
to support an increase in aircraft operations, I’m in total opposition to any FONSI for the

RE: Draft Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Fuel Facility
For the Georgetown Municipal Airport (GTU), Georgetown, TX.
Name: My name is Lori Ford and I reside at 3801 Roble Grande Circle,
Georgetown, TX
“ I have lived in Georgetown for 17 years and have observed contentious and documented citizen
objections over those years to any increase or expansion of aircraft numbers and take offs and
landings at the airport. Disturbing noise both day and night, safety from falling aircraft, night
take offs and landings, air quality and environmental issues at homes, schools, and churches, and
adverse impacts on property values, have and continue to be of utmost citizen concerns and are
mine. I am aware that the Fuel Farm is only one of 25 components of the Airport 2015 CIP. It is
the adverse direct, indirect and cumulative environmental impacts of the 25 components of the
Airport 2015 CIP as a whole and of past federal grants that must be examined. I strongly oppose
any FONSI being issued for the Fuel Farm. Instead, I demand a full and complete Page 38 of 133
Environmental Impact Statement be prepared not only for the Airport 2015 CIP, but for all
federal grants issued for the GTU in the past decade. I further demand that the flawed NEPA
federal grant review process used by the city and TxDOT for our airport be corrected.”
The citizens of Georgetown elect our city officials to protect our community and our
environment. Each one of our elected officials need to ask themselves if they are in good faith
doing this. If not, be a leader and change. You will fill good about the position you
are filling in a community in which you live.
Thank you.

Georgetown, TX 78628
GEORGETOWN MUNICIPAL AIRPORT - GTU
We have lived in Serenada addition, Georgetown for the past 10 years. In a straight
line, we are about ½ a mile from the Airport.
During this time we have noticed a considerable increase in traffic through the airport,
especially jet aircraft. The level of noise has increased considerably.
Airport FAA information dated August 20th 2015, advises that the property has the
following aircraft numbers based at Georgetown:-
225 Single engine aircraft
20 Multi engine aircraft
4 Jet aircraft
4 Helicopters
Approximately an average of 201 aircraft operations per day are advised.
As a retired couple on a fixed income we are definitely not interested in sitting here and
watching the value of our property decrease. We are willing to accept the airport as it
is, and do not want to see it increase in size and noise values. We are sure that any of
the “City Council Members” - should they live in our area would feel the very same
way.
Any increase or expansion of aircraft numbers, take offs and landings at the airport,
disturbing noise both day and night, safety from falling aircraft, night take offs and
landings, air quality and environmental issues at homes, schools, and churches, will
have an adverse impacts on property values. These all have, and continue to be of
utmost citizen concerns, and are ours.
We are also amazed that this is the “First Ever Public Meeting” that the City fathers
have arranged for input from us “The Owners” of the Airport, as citizens of
Georgetown that is managed by the City. The City has “other public meetings” as
Page 39 of 133
advertised in the local Sun newspaper for roads and buildings etc., but never before for
the Airport.
We are aware that the Fuel Farm is only one of 25 components of the Airport 2015
CIP. It is the adverse direct, indirect and cumulative environmental impacts of the 25
components of the Airport 2015 CIP as a whole and of past federal grants that must be
examined.
We strongly oppose any FONSI being issued for the Fuel Farm.
Instead, we demand a full and complete Environmental Impact Statement be prepared
not only for the Airport 2015 CIP, but for all federal grants issued for the GTU in the
past decade.
We further request that the flawed NEPA federal grant review process used by the city
and TxDOT for our airport be corrected.
Thank you.
Georgetown City Council Meeting Friday, October 9, 2015
My name is Dr. Dominic deKeratry. I live at 3301 Cavu Road, Georgetown, TX 78628; which falls
within District 5.
My wife, Dr. Esther Fields, and I co-own Georgetown Pulmonary Associates, PA and (along with
our partner) are the only pulmonary and critical care physicians in the Georgetown area. We
have two young children, Nathanial and Liam. Liam is in a pre-K program at Frost Elementary
School.
I am adamantly opposed to the issuance of a “Finding of No Significant Impact” (FONSI)
pertaining to the proposal for a Federal Grant (1514GRGTN) to fund the Fuel Farm for
Georgetown Municipal Airport. I petition for a formal Environmental Impact Survey.
The funding is just a small part of a larger project proposed by the City and Tx Dot to expand
airport operations. The governing assumptions of the Executive Summary of the GT Airport
Business Analysis, established ‘through discussions with airport and City staff’ (not by citizens),
are that the GT Airport is a ‘key public transportation facility, tied directly to the long-term
economic well-being of GT’; and it specifically states that the potential upside for revenue is
tied to the fueling options (i.e. increasing aircraft volumes). I believe there are other, more
appropriate, opportunities for economic growth of GT.
The summary also references an extension to the runway 18/36 to increase volume and types
of aircraft. It also states that ‘extending the runway would likely generate some local
neighborhood controversy’ (which is why I and others are here).
I’m stunned by the marketing approach to attract business aircraft owners who make airport
decisions based upon criteria such as: convenience to their executive residences. Millions of
dollars would be spent to construct longer runways and that number doesn’t even include costs
to move a roadway, or to purchase property (mine or my neighbors).
It boggles the mind that we would accommodate business executives so that they’ll have a
short hop to their house at the cost of local and federal tax dollars that my neighbors and I pay;
so that we would ultimately be pushed right out of our own devalued homes. One of my
Page 40 of 133
neighbors who actually worked for the local government for 30 years would likely have his own
home condemned; and my personal home would be devalued to the point of threatening my
families entire financial stability….while at the same time my wife and I work up to 100 hours
per week to accommodate the critical care medical needs of this community.
The proposed enhancements (starting with the fuel farm) will negatively impact our
neighborhood, our livelihood, our quality of life and that of our children. The increased noise
pollution and the traffic unequivocally reduce our home and property values, including re-sale
value.
There is also added disruption to our families sleep hygiene, especially with aircraft coming and
going in the early morning hours or at night (the volumes are noted on the latest Tower
Report). My son, Dominic Liam, suffers from pervasive developmental disorder on the Autism
spectrum. He requires consistent routines in his life with minimal disruption (including regular
sleep-wake cycles and avoidance of environmental stressors). Thus, the Draft Environmental
Assessment of this project, consistent with the expansion plans of the airport, threatens a
vulnerable population of the citizenry; specifically, my son.
Thank you for your time.
Respectfully,
Dominic R. DeKeratry, MD

The Fuel Farm is only one of 25 elements of the Airport 2015 Capital Improvements Program, a
proposed 90%, $10 Million, federal grant program shown on page 360 and identified in this
DEA as proposed federal grant 1514GRGTN. This new federal grant is the current proposed
federal action.
To extract the Fuel Farm, a gas station for aircraft, from the 25 element group of 1514GRGTN, is
an illicit practice termed “segmenting”. The practice is intentional mismanagement of the
Categorical Exclusion review level authorized by the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) for proposed federal actions having no impact on the human environment. This
practice was challenged by my letter dated September 10, 2014 to TxDOT which has never been
addressed by any official. By reference I am making that letter a part of this statement in its
entirety. The “segmented” status of the Fuel Farm eliminates any consideration for its FONSI
determination and its levels of review contained in this DEA are irrelevant and without merit.
The new Categorical Exclusion dated May 12, 2015 for the proposed 1514GRGTN contained in
this revised DEA is invalid as contrary to FAA Order 1050.1F which excludes such
determinations when the proposed federal action is in the presence of any of the Extraordinary
Circumstances identified therein. The May 12, 2015 determination is directly or indirectly
impacted by at least 20 or more Extraordinary Circumstances.

Throughout the years of our residency we have observed contentious and documented
citizen objections to any increase or expansion of aircraft numbers and take offs and
landings at the airport. Disturbing noise both day and night, safety from falling aircraft,
night take offs and landings, air quality, environmental issues at homes, schools, and
churches, and adverse impacts on property values, have and continue to be of utmost
citizen concerns and are ours.
It is the adverse direct, indirect and cumulative environmental impacts of the 25
components of this proposed federal funding action as a whole and of past federal
grants that must be examined in this or any other hearing involving that program. I
strongly oppose any FONSI being issued for the Fuel Farm. Instead, I demand a full
and complete Environmental Impact Statement be prepared not only for the
1514GRGTN program, but for all federal grants issued for the airport in the past
decade. I further demand that the flawed NEPA federal grant review process used by
the city and TxDOT for our airport be corrected.
Thank you.

My name is Nancy Zenner and I reside with my husband, Pete, at 901 Bosque Trail. We bought
our property in 1985. It was the last home on a dead end street and had acreage on two sides
covered with beautiful oaks trees. We were neighbors to Georgetown Airport and enjoyed
watching the gliders and aircraft that used the airport. FAST FORWARD – TIMES HAVE
CHANGED!! The road has opened between Bosque Trail and Vortac Lane and is a major artery
for people leaving Serenada via Airport Road. All the acreage now has homes on it and the
airport traffic now involves many more planes along with jets and helicopters, flying in and out
at all hours of the day and night. Georgetown is no longer a sleepy bedroom community of
Austin. In my opinion, Georgetown Airport (GTU) has outgrown its present location!
I am opposed to any issuance of a notice of “no significant impact” for the fuel farm. The fuel
farm is only one of 25 components of the Airport 2015 C.I.P. We need to stop pumping money
into a land locked airport, surrounded by homes and with schools and churches in the flight
paths.
I am in favor of city and airport officials re-implementing the Georgetown Airport Advisory
Board that was dissolved in 2013. I would recommend a careful selection of people with
diverse backgrounds and aviation knowledge to study the best solution for our airport so it can
effectively serve our city and county but still ensure the safety and well being of our citizens
and those of surrounding communities as well as protecting our environment.
I request preparation of a full environmental impact statement (EIS) for the proposed 1514
GRGTN federal grant for the 25 component Airport 2015 C.I.P. (Capital Improvement Plan).
Thank you for your time,
Nancy Zenner

Speech presented at GTAB Public Hearing for Airport Improvement Project
Oct. 9, 2015
My name is Pete Zenner and I live with my wife, Nancy, at 901 Bosque Trail, just north
of the airport fence line.
There seems to be a misunderstanding on the city staffs’ and council’s part regarding
the desire of the ACC (Airport Concerned Citizens) to close the airport. Nothing is
further from the truth. We are a group of concerned citizens who would like for our
city government to be receptive to citizen input regarding airport issues and to make a
concerted effort to openly present to the public, all 25 components of the 2015 CIP
through television and newspaper outlets, as well as mail outs to the public. This
would be a perfect opportunity for city government to explain “in detail” each
component of the plan, not just the Fuel Farm Facility issue presented today. In my
opinon, having a hearing at 10:00 AM on a workday does not give much opportunity
for feedback from the entire citizenry.
Because of concerns for safety, noise increases, environmental issues, and a loss of
property values, I am opposed to any issuance of a Notice of No Significant Impact for
the Fuel Farm and request preparation of a full EIS (Environmental Impact Statement)
for the proposed 1514 GRGTN federal grant for the 25 component Airport 2015 CIP.
Thank you,
Pete Zenner

My name is Cobby Caputo, I live at 1817 Terry Lane, Georgetown, TX 78628. My wife and I moved to
Georgetown 10 years ago. We had to make a rather quick decision on a home in Georgetown because
our home had been sold very quickly. We were concerned due to the proximity of the airport, but our real
estate agent assured us that it was just a small town airport.
Soon after we moved in, due to all the traffic generated at the airport I spoke with the Airport Manager
regarding the status of the airport. He assured me that the airport was self sufficient and required no city
funding. He also assured me that there were no plans to expand beyond it's current size. We are on the
south side of the airport, and virtually ever takeoff from the airport flies directly over our home. We
frequently have noisy jets and turboprops flying over our house at 5:30 in the morning, often
interrupting our sleep.
Over the past few years, it became public knowledge that business was lost to the the Pflugerville Airport
which opened on the 130 Toll way, a good distance away from their city. In addition, After a financial
evaluation of the Georgetown Airport it was discovered that the fuel charges and hanger rentals were not
nearly high enough to support the airport profitably. There have been numerous rumors concerning
expansion of the airport, but Georgetown city officials have continuously denied that there are any plans
to expand.
I would hate to have an increase in traffic into and out of the Georgetown Airport over my home and I
firmly oppose any further expansion of the airport beyond it's current capacity and in it's current location

Statement for record:
My name is Robert Meeker and I live at 4404 Luna Trail. I am strongly opposed to any issuance of a
FONSI for the proposed fuel farm, and I demand preparation of a full Environmental Impact Statement
for the proposed 1514GRGTN federal grant for the (25) component Airport 2015 CP.
The people of Georgetown are sending the GTAB and the GCC a message: WE are the bosses
government; not the other way around.

This project, to build a new above ground fuel facility with 60% more fuel capacity at the Georgetown
Airport, is designed to attract and support more and larger aircraft that will take off and land at the
Georgetown Airport (GTU). This project, to increase the stored fuel capacity by more that 60% , like
other planned development projects, will directly contribute to the increase of:
• Aviation Noise (increased take offs and landings, maintenance, run-ups)
• Community Safety (crashes into housing, schools, churches, business, etc.. 29 crashes to-date 9
deaths)
• Hazardous Material Exposure ( airports store fuel and numerous toxic chemicals used for
maintenance and flight operations)
• Property Devaluation (a problematic noisy, airport, with safety concerns, and a long history of
citizen complaints will affect property values)
This project, is part of a much larger “Airport Development Agreement” between the City of Georgetown
and TxDot Aviation. As is defined in this agreement, it is in place specifically for the “development of a
public aviation facility”. This agreement and all of the development projects that make it up are focused
on the the common goal to expand and grow capacity and aircraft operations at the Georgetown Airport
(GTU). This development project has been in place for many years (2005-2015). The 2014 version of
this agreement is posted on the city's web site.
In the opening statement of this Draft DEA, for the new fuel facility, the writer attempts to segment this
proposed action from the rest of the airport development projects in the much larger “Airport
Development Agreement”. This segmentation directly violates the National Environmental Policy Act
law and EPA regulations.
One cannot “cherry pick” or segment an item from the much larger “Airport Development Agreement”
and and treat it as a benign item, with no affect on the surrounding community. This project, combined
with all the other airport development projects, will have a direct impact on increasing aviation noise,
community safety concerns, hazardous material exposure, and decreasing property values.
By EPA regulations this project ,along with all “Airport Development Agreement” projects, must be
viewed as a single airport development project. The entire project and all of it's elements must be
evaluated together to determine the short term and long term affects on the community and
surrounding environment.
In conclusion I urge everyone to reject this draft DEA. Instruct the writers to return to the drafting table
and put a process in place to perform a complete “Environmental Impact Statement” (EIS). A EIS that
takes into account the fuel farm, and all elements of the “Airport Development Agreement” project
plans. A process that will examine any practical alternatives to expansion, such as airport relocation.
Page 44 of 133
The “Environmental Impact Statement” (EIS) is the only process that can fully examine the short/long
term direct/indirect impacts this and other projects in “Airport Development Agreement” will bear on
the surrounding community, it's citizens and environment.
Sincerely,
John Milford
I am a commercial pilot, single and multiengine aircraft, instrument airplane ratings, a
double degreed engineer, Tau Beta Pi, Eta Kappa Nu, those are engineering honor
societies, a retired college professor teaching engineering and aviation, and an avionics
inventor. No person ever sitting on the airport board, when we had one, or city council,
which some argue is not a representative democracy, has these credentials; which
explains our diametrically opposed positions. Now, I know how to fix ignorant, been
there done that, tried here, but discovered that stupid is forever.
I bought a house here, rented a hanger here for my airplane, and moved here in 1989
specifically because I needed a safe airport with a reliable concrete runway and an on
the field electronic instrument approach for low ceiling and or low visibility operations.
From the perspective of being ignored at both airport board meetings and city council
meetings, a frequent attendant, I have seen this airport become unsafe with no reliable
working runway and no on the field electronic instrument approach. I will not operate
here under low ceiling and or low visibility. I have witnessed theft of FAA grant money,
poisoning of the airport environment, institution of anti race policies in who will be
allowed to use the airport, and many many other illegal things. I would very much like to
go into these in detail here now, but your three minute rule will not allow for even a brief
summary of bullet points. Therefore I will offer a written submission for that, and move
on.
What bothers me most is the continuing violations of federal law here. Public meetings
are not posted, happen at three o'clock in the morning, the public's business is
conducted in secret or even in total privacy. I have observed contentious and
documented citizen objections over the years since 1989 to any increase or expansion
of the airport, to aircraft numbers and take offs and landings at the airport. To disturbing
noise both day and night from large aircraft, to safety from falling aircraft, to
environmental issues impacting homes, schools, and churches, and to adverse impacts
on property values. These continue to be of utmost citizen concerns, are also mine,
and are all ignored at the city council and by TxDot.
I am aware that the Fuel Farm is only one of 25 components of the Airport 2015 CIP. It
is the adverse direct, indirect and cumulative environmental impacts of the 25
components of the Airport 2015 CIP as a whole, and of past federal grants back to
1989, that must be examined. I strongly oppose any FONSI being issued for the Fuel
Farm. Instead, I demand a full and complete Environmental Impact Statement be
prepared not only for the Airport 2015 CIP, but for all federal grants issued for the GTU
airport through the city of Georgetown by TxDot since 1989. I further demand that the
flawed NEPA federal grant review process used by the city of Georgetown and TxDOT
for our airport be immediately corrected to be in full and specific compliance with federal
law. This, literally, would be a first for Georgetown.

Statement to the Georgetown, Texas GTAB Public Hearing
on Fuel Tank Replacements at GTU Airport – September 9, 2015
My name is Richard Ballentine and I reside at 212 Estrella Crossing, Georgetown, Texas. I am
retired from the Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Water in Washington, DC.
I want to thank the City of Georgetown for finally cracking the door open to its responsibilities
under the National Environmental Policy Act . This hearing is specifically limited to discussing
one element of the city’s 25 element 2015 CIP which addresses construction and maintenance
activities at Georgetown’s airport. That element is the removal of two below ground fuel
storage tanks.
In my comments on TXDOT’s draft environmental assessment I noted that the City had been
fined some $7,000 by the Texas CEQ some years ago because of fuel leakage from these tanks.
I therefore noted that it would be prudent to carefully evaluate the site upon removal of the
old tanks to check for additional fuel leakage and perhaps the existence of a plume flowing
down gradient from the tanks location before backfilling. These tanks are located on the
recharge area for the Edwards Aquifer -- a critically important water resource in an increasingly
arid area.
I also want to point out a couple of areas that should be addressed by the City in an
environmental assessment or environmental impact statement for construction proposed in
the 2015 CIP. If the main runway is strengthened to handle much larger jet aircraft, and in fact
the take-offs and landings meet the City’s projections, then there will be a major increase in
noise pollution and a much greater likelihood of much more severe damage from off-airport
events.
Noise pollution per se has not been addressed in the draft environmental assessment. That
constitutes a major oversight since noise pollution adversely affects predominantly older
people. Many areas around the airport like Seranada and the Berry Creek subdivisions have a
significant percentage of older residents. The peer reviewed literature shows that noise is a
significant cause of cardiac events with subsequent hospitalizations being required.
Another issue not addressed is the safety issue. Residences, an elementary school, a middle
school and the Georgetown Charter School are in close proximity to the airport boundary.
Small Cessna’s land at about 45 knots airspeed; private jets in excess of 100 knots airspeed and
are considerably heavier than a Cessna. An overshoot on landing by a jet could be disastrous.
Because of these shortcomings, a Finding of No Significant Impact under NEPA is absurd.
Good morning. My name is Cally Ellington. I live at 4404 Luna Trail. About 4 yrs ago I ran away from the
noisy city life to come to Serenada to start a new life with my husband. I took off work today to be here
to express my opposition to any issuance of a finding of no significant impact for the fuel farm, and I
request preparation of a full environmental impact statement for the proposed 1514GRGTN federal
grant for the 25 component Airport 2015 CIP. Thank you.

DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FOR THE PROPOSED FUEL FARM
GEORGETOWN MUNICIPAL AIRPORT (GTU)
PUBLIC HEARING – 10-9-15
My name is Frances A. Desselle. I reside at 212 Estrella Crossing, Georgetown, TX.
The Fuel Farm, the subject of this hearing, is one of 25 elements included in the
Georgetown Municipal Airport 2015 Capital Improvement Program. To extract
the Fuel Farm, from the 25 elements in the Airport 2015 Capital Improvement
Program, is a practice referred to as “segmentation”, which directly violates the
spirit and intent of the National Environmental Policy Act. It is of the utmost
importance that the 2015 Airport Capital Improvement Program, and its 25
components, be considered as a single airport development project in order to
assess and evaluate the impacts of the program on the Georgetown community,
its citizens and impacts to the environment.
I oppose the issuance of a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI), being issued
for the Fuel Farm. An Environmental Impact Statement must be prepared for all
of the elements reflected in the Airport 2015 Capital Improvement Program, in
order to assess and evaluate impacts on human populations, impacts on the
ecosystem and other pertinent considerations.
Thank you.
Dear Ms. Kern, Originally emailed: Friday, October 9, 2015
Following is a summary of my comments at the GTAB, Fuel Farm DEA Public Hearing October 9, 2015,
for inclusion in your minutes.
My name is Cobby S. Caputo and I live at 1817 Terry Lane, Georgetown, Tx. 78628. My wife and I moved
to Georgetown 10 years ago. We had to make a rather quick decision on a home in Georgetown
because our home in Plano, Tx. sold very quickly. We were concerned due to the proximity of the
airport to the house on Terry Ln., but our Real Estate agent assured us that it was “just a little bitty old
country airport”.
Soon after we moved in due to all the traffic generated at the airport, I spoke with the then Airport
Manager regarding the status of the airport. He assured me that the airport was self sufficient and
required no city funding. He also assured me that there were no plans to expand beyond the current
size. We are on the south side of the airport, and most of the year virtually every takeoff from the
airport flies directly over our home.
The jets started shortly after we moved in, and we frequently have noisy jets and turboprops flying over
our house at 5:30 in the morning awakening us from sleep. Over the past few years, it became public
knowledge that business was lost to the new Pflugerville Airport opened on the 130 Toll way, which they
had the good sense to position a goodly distance from their city.
In addition, after a financial evaluation of the Georgetown Airport it was discovered that the fuel
charges and hanger rentals were not nearly high enough to support the airport profitably and changes
needed to be made. There have been numerous rumors concerning expansion of this airport, but
Georgetown city officials have continuously denied that there are any plans to expand. Period. Page 47 of 133
Now comes discussion of a new, larger fuel farm. Where’s the need for this increase? Why is the
increased size necessary? I would hate to have an increase in traffic into and out of the Georgetown
Airport over my home, and I firmly oppose any further expansion of the airport beyond its current
capacity and in its current location.

SUBJECT:
Consideration and possible recommendation to approve Task Order A&F-16-003 with Aguirre &
Fields, LP, of Austin, Texas, for professional services to provide engineering and support services
required to develop preliminary design alternatives, conduct public involvement, initiate
environmental services and the prepare 30% plans, specifications and estimates (PS&E) package
for replacing the Austin Avenue bridges and roadway improvements from Morrow Street to 3rd
Street in the amount of $662,546.00. – Bill Dryden, P.E., Transportation Engineer and Edward G.
Polasek, AICP, Transportation Services Director.
ITEM SUMMARY:
In December 2013, TxDOT, conducted a detailed field investigation of the North and South San
Gabriel River Bridges as part of an Off-System Bridge Inventory, Inspection and Appraisal
Program (BRINSAP). The BRINSAP Report recommended “A Load Posting with Gross Weight
Limit = 48,000 lbs (Tandem Axle Weight Limit of 21,000 lbs).” The report also stated, “Those
structures included in the list should be repaired as soon as maintenance funds are available
within the County's normal maintenance program. State law (Sec. 9 of House Bill 1547) requires
that all structures which have been structurally analyzed and rated in this report be posted or
closed in accordance with the recommendations herein.”
In March 2014, the City engaged Aguirre & Fields, LP (A&F), to conduct an assessment of bridge
superstructure and substructure, wearing surface/joints and approaches and deliver a Condition
assessment report documenting condition of bridge elements and immediate-, short- and long-term
repair/maintenance/replacement considerations. In a joint workshop with City Council and GTAB
on July 8, 2014, Staff and A&F delivered the findings and recommendations.
In August 2014, the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization awarded the city of
Georgetown $1.3M in Surface Transportation Metropolitan Mobility (STP-MM) monies for
construction. Further, Staff is pursuing potential funding options through the Texas Department of
Transportation Off-System Bridge Replacement Program.
In July and August 2015, as part of the budget development and approval process, Downtown and
Community Services requested and was approved funding for forensic evaluation, public
participation planning, feasibility of options and schematic design of the bridges. Staff has
conducted several scoping meetings with Aguirre and Fields and their subconsultants since budget
approval and has developed a Task Order that facilitates the public involvement process and
provides a 30% design schematic to Council by March 2017.
Staff has reviewed the Scope of Services and the proposed Fee for these services and recommends
approval of the proposed Task Order A&F-16-003 based on presentations to Council in FY 2015
and the approved FY 2015-2016 budget.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of Task Order A&F-16-003 with Aguirre & Fields, LP, of Austin,
Texas, for professional services to provide engineering and support services required to develop
Page 52 of 133
preliminary design alternatives, conduct public involvement, initiate environmental services and
the prepare 30% plans, specifications and estimates (PS&E) package for replacing the Austin

City of Georgetown, Texas
Transportation Advisory Board
December 10, 2015
SUBJECT:
Discussion and possible recommendation of approval of a Scope of Work for the Williams Drive
Study with the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO). - Nat Waggoner,
Transportation Analyst, Transportation Services, Andreina Davila, Project Coordinator, City
Manager's Office, Edward G. Polasek, A.I.C.P, Director, Transportation Services.
ITEM SUMMARY:
The City of Georgetown is working with the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization
(CAMPO) to conduct a study of Williams Drive to address historic and emerging mobility and
economic development issues along this corridor. The study area includes Williams Drive from an
area east of Austin Ave to the City limits (Exhibit 1, Location Map). The study will recommend
projects and provide implementation plans that enhance transportation safety, mobility and
connectivity; enhance economic development potential; and establish the area as a premier
gateway into Georgetown (Exhibit 2, Scope of Services).
Williams Drive is a four-lane roadway with continuous center turn lanes. More than 29,000 cars
access this major arterial daily, and the trend is expected to grow with the City’s expanding
population. The City of Georgetown and TxDOT have identified projects and committed funding
within the corridor before 2025 that will inform and impact development and mobility patterns as
part of the recently approved 2015 Transportation Bond program. Key projects that will be
completed in the area as a result of the 2015 Bond include:
· The Northwest Boulevard Bridge extension;
· The Rivery Boulevard extension;
· Improvements to the Interstate 35 southbound service road including the addition of a dedicated
right-turn lane from Williams Drive; and
· Improvements to the Interstate 35 northbound service road from Williams Drive to Lakeway
Drive.
It should also be noted that in 2006, the City accepted a Redevelopment Plan for a portion of the
corridor generally located at the intersection of Williams Drive and Interstate 35 (Williams Drive
Gateway Redevelopment Plan). The purpose of this Plan was to promote and guide redevelopment
of the aging and highway oriented uses with a livelier mix of uses in a denser and more pedestrian
friendly environment. As part of this effort, the City established a special taxing district designed
to further the development within the district consistent with this plan, and designated the subject
and surrounding area with a Specialty Mixed Use Area Future Land Use designation.
The adoption of the Gateway Redevelopment Plan and subsequent follow through by City staff
resulted in several transportation improvements and efforts to the corridor, including Northwest
Boulevard Bridge, Rivery Boulevard Extension, and improvements to the Interstate 35 southbound
service road from Williams Drive. However, despite enormous growth across the City and
specific, renewed focus in the Downtown area, the Williams Drive Gateway area has remained
largely unchanged, hampered by poor access, a fragmented property ownership pattern, limited
infrastructure improvements, and changes in the market.
In order to address the mobility issues of Williams Drive, a more comprehensive review and
analysis is needed of the entire corridor, to include the Gateway area identified in the 2006 Plan. A
comprehensive study will identify recommendations to promote synergy between transportation,
land use and other planning areas, as well as an update of the 2006 Plan and an implementation
Page 115 of 133
program.
CAMPO has committed federal funding to support the City’s efforts to address the transportation
needs and demands for this corridor through its Platinum Planning Program. Through a localized
planning effort, Plans completed as part of this program meet shared goals and are consistent with
CAMPO’s 2040 Regional Transportation Plan and the City’s 2030 Comprehensive Plan.
Recommendations from plans completed through this program will inform future iterations of the
Regional Transportation Plan, and be eligible for future federal funding allocated by CAMPO.
The Williams Drive Study seeks to help Georgetown and the region manage its growth challenges
by creating environments that provide for an efficient, effective and reliable system for moving
people and goods through multiple travel options; enhanced economic development and housing
options near high-quality transportation investment projects; ultimately positioning Williams
Drive as a premier gateway for the City of Georgetown and the Austin region.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends approval of the attached scope of work.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Matching funds for study approved as part of the FY16 budget process.

DRAFT SCOPE OF WORK
CAMPO Platinum Planning
Project Name: Georgetown, TX Williams Drive Study
CAMPO is seeking services from a qualified consultant to conduct a study and develop a plan to
further the goals of CAMPO’s Platinum Planning Program and the City of Georgetown’s 2030
Comprehensive Plan, including the Overall Transportation Plan (OTP) and Future Land Use Map,
as well as address the immediate and future mobility issues that stem from population growth
and development pressures. The Consultant will develop a plan that applies the elements of the
Platinum Planning Program to the study area, and recommends projects and implementation
plans that enhance multi-modal transportation safety, mobility and connectivity, enhance
economic development potential, and establish the area as a premier gateway into Georgetown.
CAMPO’s Platinum Planning Program seeks to generate comprehensive and detailed multimodal
transportation planning at the local level that will generate regionally significant benefits through
projects and policies. The program aligns local and regional planning through a progressive ,
integrated, and inclusive process. Plans completed as part of this program meet shared goals and
are inclusive of state of the practice elements consistent with CAMPO’s 2040 Regional
Transportation Plan goals. Specifically, these plans will outline synergies between transportation,
land use, and other planning areas to better understand how the system performs.
Recommendations from plans completed through this program will inform future iterations of
the Regional Transportation Plan and be eligible for future Federal funding allocated by CAMPO.
The Platinum Planning Program includes three spatial areas: Subregions, Corridors, and Centers.
Georgetown, Texas, is a rapidly growing community about 30 miles north of Austin. The city has
a population of over 50,000 people and serves as the county seat for Williamson County.
Georgetown is known for its walkable, historic downtown, family oriented neighborhoods, and
as a retirement destination. The city also serves as the northern gateway for the Capital Area.
This study seeks to help Georgetown and the region manage its growth challenges by creating
environments that provide for an efficient, effective and reliable system for moving people and
goods through multiple travel options, enhance economic development and housing options
near high-quality transportation investments, and position Williams Drive to become a premier
gateway for the City of Georgetown and the Austin region .
Williams Drive is a four-lane roadway with continuous center turn lanes. More than 29,000 cars
access this major arterial daily, and the trend is expected to grow with the City’s expanding
population. The City of Georgetown and TxDOT have identified projects and committed funding
within the corridor before 2025 that will inform and impact development and mobility patterns
as part of the recently approved 2015 Transportation Bond program. Key projects that will be
completed in the area as a result of the 2015 Bond include:
The Northwest Boulevard Bridge extension;
The Rivery Boulevard extension;
Page 118 of 133
CAMPO and City of Georgetown Williams Drive Study
2
Improvements to the Interstate 35 southbound service road including the addition of a
dedicated right-turn lane from Williams Drive; and
Improvements to the Interstate 35 northbound service road from Williams Drive to
Lakeway Drive.
The City envisions a transportation bond election in 2025 that may include recommendations
from this study. In addition, the City accepted a Master Redevelopment Plan for a portion of the
Corridor in 2006, and established a special taxing district designed to further the development
within the district limits in accordance with this plan. To further this effort, the City also
designated this area with a Specialty Mixed Use Future Land Use designation, as well as created
a new zoning district, the Mixed-Use district, with the intent of drafting and adopting a mixed -
use Regulating Plan for the area.
CAMPO has identified a portion of the Corridor as a Growth Center in its 2040 Plan. The Williams
Drive Study will recommend policy, programming, projects and an implementation plan for the
study area that address and enhance mobility, safety, and livability.
The Williams Drive Plan includes two Platinum Planning spatial area types:
1. Corridor Plan – Development of a context-sensitive corridor plan for several miles on
Williams Drive, which addresses access management strategies, multi-modal
transportation elements, safety and operat ional improvements, and recommendations
for a private realm built-form that supports different modes of transportation and a sense
of place.
2. Centers Plan – Development of a plan for a vibrant mixed -use center and gateway along
Williams Drive from an area south of Austin Avenue to Lakeway Drive, consistent with the
City’s 2030 Comprehensive Plan and special taxing district and land use overlays. This
includes development concepts for a mixed -use catalytic project on the Georgetown ISD
site.
In order to better respect the context of the City of Georgetown , key words used in this scope
are defined as below:
1. Multimodal – design and policy that ensures the safe, efficient, effective, reliable and
comfortable accommodation of various modes of travel including cars, pedestrians,
cyclists, and where/if appropriate, transit.
2. Mixed-use – the appropriate combination and mixture of land uses and density that can
produce a feasible amount of origins, destinations, and trip generators (jobs, housing,
services) that allow communities and the region gain the biggest benefits/use from multi-
modal transportation investments. Mixed-use may include uses mixed vertically, or
complimentary single uses adjacent to one another.
3. Equity – Ensuring robust engagement of all segments of the population, minimizing any
adverse impacts of plan recommendations, and increasing access to opportunity for all
members of the community.

The consultant should have experience and knowledge in planning for implementation consistent
with the Platinum Planning Program elements:
1. Multimodal and Mixed-Use – Create connections to housing, jobs, and services through the
establishment of dynamic mixed-use environments, well-connected street grids, high-quality
transit options, as well as safe and useful pedestrian/bicycle accommodations.
2. Housing – Develop a mix of housing types and price points appropriate for the study area
context that provides living options that can accommodate a variety of incomes, abilities, and
familial types.
3. Environment – Create a healthy environment that proactively protects and enhances air,
water, land, and people.
4. Economic Development – Promote the economic competitiveness of the study area to yield
positive impacts on the local tax base, high-quality jobs, and community services.
5. Equity – Create positive social, economic, and environmental outcomes for all residents and
stakeholders in the study areas while minimizing adverse impacts.
Study Area (See below for the study area maps)
The focus of the Williams Drive study is inclusive of the corridor from an area east of Austin
Avenue, just north of downtown, to the Georgetown City Limits. As stated previously, this study
includes two areas of focus:
Corridor Plan Focus Area - Williams Drive from Lakeway Drive on the south, to the
Georgetown City Limits on the north. This area of Williams Drive is four lanes with a center
turn lane, discontinuous sidewalks, and a lack of streetscaping. Land use along this
section of the corridor includes mostly strip malls, retail power centers at major nodes,
some multi-family uses, and an overall auto-centric low-density built form.

Centers Plan Focus Area - San Gabriel River on the south and east, Rivery Boulevard, Oak
Lane and Mesquite Lane on the West, and San Gabriel Park, Apple Creek Drive, Northwest
Boulevard and Lakeway Drive on the north. This area includes some low-density
commercial uses, single-family homes, and a new mixed use area off Rivery Boulevard.
The area is also bisected by Interstate 35, and includes a mix of a disjointed traditional
street grid on the southern portion, and a curvilinear suburban street system in the
northern portion.

o Improvements to the pedestrian and bicycle realm, appropriate sidewalks and
bikeways, streetscapes, pedestrian crossings, intersection improvements signals
and other supportive infrastructure.
o Identifying opportunities and specific needs for transit in the area, where and if
appropriate.
o Other strategies that will help balance the needs of users traveling thru the
centers area, as well as those destined to the centers. Addressing street grid
connections and redundancy, as well as mode shift will be crucial in this analysis.
Economic and Urban Development - Identify opportunities for context sensitive, mixed-
use infill, grayfield/brownfield redevelopment, and new greenfield development (both
vertical and horizontal) that creates a multimodal, safe, comfortable, and vibrant
environment, destination, and investment opportunity.
o Concept shall include provisions for additional retail, services, entertainment and
other amenities that will enhance the neighborhoods; make the area attractive
and provide basic services for its residents and a unique experience for visitors;
complimenting services and amenities offered in the downtown district;
complimenting and ancillary services for the City’s and Capital Area’s
business/employment centers.
o A catalytic project concept should be developed to examine the redevelopment
of the Georgetown ISD site that is conducive to multi-modal transportation
investment. This may include mixed-use or housing components. Pro formas,
maps, renderings, and other pertinent information , shall be developed as part
each case study project.
o Potential opportunities for public/private partnerships should be explored as part
of this task.
