Systems Engineering; and Ray Miller, Director of Public Works
Gutekunst gave presentation which is included in the packet. Brainard asked if staff could give the committee a list of design money that has already been authorized from the 2015 road bond. Morgan replied that they could give an inventory of projects that only had design money attached to it. Wright added that there was about $5.8 million in the 2015 bond for projects that was design only. Brashear asked if there is an opportunity to use those design funds for design projects on the proposed 2021 bond. Wright replied that the committee can recommend that council. Sutphin asked whether the committee can make recommendations beyond the $50 million that council looked for. Brashear replied that the committee was responsible for presenting their ideas for what was necessary. Morgan also noted that, Georgetown’s exponential growth, different projects might become priorities over the next few years. Brashear asked what Gutekunst was looking for from the committee when he walked through the potential projects. Gutekunst referred back to the slide in the presentation titled “Project Scope Edits” which laid out what he was hoping to get the committee’s input. Leon asked if maintenance was part of the bond project and Gutekunst replied that maintenance is not contemplated as part of the bond. Brashear asked if they were anticipating that they would not be able to get right-of-way. Wright replied that they are assuming responsibility to get right-of-way. Sutphin asked and Brashear affirmed that GISD acquired land along DB Wood Road in order to build future schools as the need arises. Brashear asked and Gutekunst affirmed that Roadway Project C for Shell Rd. could be truncated if the committee makes that recommendation that. Bronner asked if they were any developments going on or planned for any of these road projects where the developer would be required to put in the sidewalk. Reed answered that when developments go in there is a responsibility for them to contribute and sidewalks are part of their project. Reed added that the Shell Rd. MUD will contribute $2.5 million towards future transportation enhancements to Shell Rd. The city negotiated a contribution because of the planned expansion of Shell Rd. Holzer asked if it was either/or for the eight feet designated for bike/walkways. Gutekunst replied that it is either or – either a bike plan or parking. Leon stated that sidewalks were an essential part of Roadway Project J. Some committee members worry that right-of-way for Project J would require moving homes. After some discussion about Project P, Morgan stated that council looked at this project as part of their five year CIP plan and council kept the project on the plan, but did not put it within the five year time frame. Smith asked if Projects X, Y, and Z were not included in the bond program would there be other funds available to complete them. Morgan said there is no alternative funding source at this time.
F Presentation and discussion regarding ranking of bond priorities – Jake Gutekunst,
Kimley-Horn. Committee members voted in poll created by Gutekunst ranking priorities
in order of importance. The results from most important to least important – manage
congestion, improve safety, enhance connectivity, upgrade intersections, funding
