B Presentation of the General Capital Projects for Parks, Downtown and Facilities -- Paul Brandenburg, City
Manager and Laurie Brewer, Assistant City Manager
Brandenburg introduced the item and said this presentation will focus on the downtown and community services
CIP Projects. He spoke about the future of the facilities plan as well. He said there are some unique
opportunities that are going to take place downtown in terms of facilities. He spoke about parking downtown and
how it is becoming an issue now that more people are coming downtown.
With a Powerpoint Presentation, Brewer said this went to the GGAF Board and some of the other downtown
boards as well. She described Capital Improvement Projects and what those entail for the Council. She said
CIP projects are large, one time expenditures for fixed assets. She said this evening staff is seeking Council
feedback and approval for the proposed projects for fiscal year 2013/14. She said staff does look at planning for
a five year period. She described the current CIP authorizations, including the 2008 Bond Election, which
authorized $81.5 million for roads and parks. She said the County has issued all of its voter authorized debt,
however, they are putting together a proposal for a future bond referendum. She spoke about the Parks Bonds
and said the total package was $35.5 million and passed with 58% of the vote in November 2008. She said the
actual bond language does not stipulate amounts but she listed the original proposed amount for the different
projects. She said the first bond issuance was for $4.5 million and $1 million was used for trails. She said about
$500,000 was used to take out San Gabriel pool and build the parking lot next to the community center. She said
$1 million is to be spent on bank stabilization and the playscape. She said the last bond issuance was for $5
million and she described the many projects under that issuance, including Garey Park, Westside Park purchase,
San Gabriel Park planning and design, River Corridor park preservation, Playscape, San Gabriel Park Bank
stabilization, trail and San Gabriel pool demolition and parking lot. She listed the remaining funds after all of
these projects are completed. She spoke about the specific Parks Bond projects coming in 2013/14. She said
Garey Park design/planning and engineering will take place with a cost of $1.5 million. She said the master
planning and design for San Gabriel Park is $1 million. She spoke about the planning of a potential historic park
with a cost of $500,000. She said other projects for this year include Chautauqua Park, McMaster Athletic
Complex, VFW Park, Williams Drive Pool, River Ridge Pool and the Tennis Center Pool. She spoke about the
sidewalks strategy for 2014. She said the goal is to do a comprehensive sidewalk study to determine all of the
gaps throughout the City. She said the strategy for the current year while they are doing the study is that the city
will do new sidewalk construction/rehab in conjunction with downtown streets rehabilitation. She listed the various
sidewalk projects being recommended for repair over the next year. She said they are also looking at the
trailhead at Austin Avenue as well as pedestrian signals when warranted. She listed some of the other projects
including the continued expansion of antique street lights, conducting a mast arms study and the emergency
warning system. She showed Council a map of the location of the current warning sirens.
Jonrowe left the dais.
Brewer spoke about parking. She provided Council with an example of how a parking garage can be incorporated
into the downtown and look like a regular building. She said they have identified several options for parking. She
said they are looking at a full scale parking facility with retail space at Rock and 6th. She said the County has
indicated the City can partner up for a surface parking lot at MLK and 8th. She said they are also considering a
parking facility on the Hewlett Parking lot at Main and 9th. She spoke about the Facilities Master Plan and the
three stages of projects as identified in the 2003 Master Plan. She provided updates on all of these projects. She
said the final goals are municipal court, city hall and a parking structure. She said Brandenburg had mentioned
construction of a Downtown Civic Center and festival area west of the square along 8th Street. She said that is
still the current plan. She showed Council a proposed calendar for the Downtown Civic Center. She said Phase
1 (2013/2014) would start with Municipal Court and the MLK and 8th Parking Lot. She said Phases Two, Three
and Four will be in future years and will be brought forward later for future discussion and consideration. She
described the plan for some of the other facilities as well, including PSTOC, West Side Service Center, NW ESD
Fire Station, East Side Fire Station and the Collection Station. She spoke about the next steps of the process.
There was much discussion.
Gonzalez said he thinks the facilities plan is a great idea and he spoke of the importance of getting some of the
city properties back on the tax rolls. Hammerlun asked and Brewer confirmed the amphitheater was approved in
the bond election of 2008. Hammerlun asked about the possible bond election of Spring 2015. Brewer said the
funds for the projects before then would come from certificates of obligation and cash balances. Hammerlun
asked about the stage of the planning for the parking structure. Brewer said they are currently packaging a
request for proposals for parking, facilities study and landscape architects in order to do a full fledged analysis of
what the needs are downtown. Brewer said the public private partnership is very appealing because the first floor
of the garage could be use as retail and dresses up the building. Hammerlun said he thinks there are groups out

there that would be interested in a competitive package like that. He said he also has questions for the
emergency warning system. Brewer said this is included in a future budget. Fought said it seems there will not
be another bond election in the future. Brewer said there will not be an election for the current year but noted they
have been looking at bond issues in the future. Fought said he likes the plan for the parking garage.
C Update on the Fire Department Study being done by Emergency Services Consulting International (ESCI) -- John
Sullivan, Fire Chief
With a Powerpoint Presentation, Sullivan provided the Master Plan for the Fire Department and their Fire
Department Program and Service Audit to the City Council. He spoke about the reason behind this plan and said
it is to determine what's working and what needs improvement. He said the plan is an honest assessment of who
we are, what we can do and where we need to go. He provided the Council with a summary of the process for
this study. He said the RFP went out in March and there were site visits with peer evaluators in April. He said the
evaluation process includes a lot of things and he described those for the Council. He showed a map of the City
of Georgetown and the location of the emergency services district area and the locations of the current fire
stations. He showed the Council the organizational structure of the Fire Department. He said the current
structure had a few flaws in it due to the growing department. He showed Council the new, proposed structure
that meets the industry standards. He showed Council the Fire and EMS cost per capita. He showed Council a
graph of the total incidents per 1,000 population as compared to the urban and rural highs and lows. He showed
Council the fire loss statistics as well. He said setting up planning and goals is really what this work plan is about.
He said administrative and support staff is one element to look at and he described the study results for that
issue. He spoke about training and safety and why this is an area of concern for the department. He said one of
the areas is the candidate physical ability test or CPAT. He noted the City has a program in place and it has not
be validated and does not meet the national study. He described the key facts and findings for the fire prevention
and public education section. He described the findings and recommendations under the Emergency
Management section as well. He said the current capital assets per 1,000 population is quite good. He showed
Council a map showing the incident density throughout the City. He said a lot of the fires and incidents are
happening along major thoroughfares. He showed Council a map of the response capabilities and noted this will
assist the City in determining where future fire stations are needed. He spoke about response times and said the
City has an average response time of 6 minutes and 55 seconds, which is high. He spoke about what the
department is looking to do in order to address those issues and decrease the response time. He said their goal
is a 5 minute response time. He described the future demand estimated on the fire department and EMS. He
showed Council a map of the future stations based upon short term growth projections. There was much
discussion and many questions.
Gonzalez mentioned achieving a better diversity in the department. Sullivan said the report did find a deficiency
in that issue, He said the study said the training staff is understaffed and he hopes hiring more staff will assist in
reaching more people and improving recruitment.

Legislative Regular Agenda
Council will individually consider and possibly take action on any or all of the following items:
F Consideration and possible action to approve a Resolution providing for withdrawal of the City of Georgetown
from membership in the Lone Star Rail District -- Bridget Chapman, Acting City Attorney
Mayor described the item and the action that has been taken on the subject matter in the past. He said the City
Manager has some authority to provide variance to the speakers. He said the City Manager has authorized a 30
minute presentation from the rail district. He said the City Council will then hear from those who have signed up
to speak, followed by comments and discussion from the City Council. Chapman said, at the June 11, 2013, the
City Council directed staff to prepare a resolution terminating the City's membership in the Lone Star Rail District.
She said the City pays $50,000 per year for the membership. Brandenburg said it is City Manager's discretion to
provide organizations with extra time to present to the Council and noted, after being approached by the Rail
District, he thought it wise to give them 30 minutes to speak. He introduced Joe Black from the Lone Star Rail
District to the City Council.
Black introduced himself from the Rail District. He provided a briefing of their project to the Council. With a
Powerpoint Presentation, he introduced their funding expert Joseph Loussard and spoke about the objectives of
the Lone Star Rail District. He provided the Council with a list of the jurisdictions and service area covered by the
district as well as a map of the system. He said they plan to have 16 stations. He said, at their full service level,
they plan to offer 32 round trips per day. He described the urban freight rail bypass line that the project also
includes. He said the union pacific is in support of this project. He read a statement of support from union pacific.
He posted a picture of a joint inspection exercise He spoke about some of the benefits of passenger rail and the
LSTAR rail. He said it provides regional linkages between activity centers, it connects urban centers, it is
congestion proof predictable service, expandable/responsive capacity, reduces growth in traffic demand,
increases economic development and improves the property values that would pay the local cost of the service.
He said there has been some mistaken information that has been put out asking if there would be a tax increase
because of this project. He said there will not be a tax increase. He spoke about the proposed sites for rail stops
and noted those could always change. He spoke about how I-35 is one of the most dangerous highways in the
United States and how this rail will improve safety in the Central Texas area. He introduced Joseph Loussard, wh
spoke about Project Connect is an effort between organizations to look at high capacity transit throughout central
Texas and beyond to south of San Antonio. He showed the Council where they are in the planning process. He

said, right now, they are reaching out to the communities to talk about funding plans. He continued to speak
about the conceptual funding plan. He said there are no final decisions being made at this time. He said there are
some fundamental things about the funding plan, including maximizing federal participation and looking at
partnerships with communities. He spoke about Tax Increment Financing District and how this concept will
contribute to the construction of this project. He described the areas where these districts would be established.
Black spoke about the issues of leaving the District and wanting to join later and how they do not yet have a
specific policy about this. He said if the City leaves and wish to come back in, there will be some financial
consideration. He said it is more of an equity issue than anything else. He said, if Georgetown leaves and wants
to come back, it could be from $50-$100 million to come back in. He said there would be a financial consequence
to leaving the district and then coming back. He said local funding is the gateway to capital funding from public
and private sources. He described the development of their financial plan alternatives. He showed Council the
capital funding outline. He said both federal and state governments believe this is real and noted they have
invested money already. He said this project has been classified an "administrator's priority" on the national level.
He said LSTAR will build the freight rail bypass line and turn ownership over to Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR).
He spoke about the local funding commitments. He said, at their initial service level, the O&M on an annual
basis would be $30 million. He spoke about the interlocal agreements that would be entered into with the various
cities. He said they want the local jurisdictions to hold them accountable. He said, when in operation, LSRD will
annually identity excess funds to return to the contributing jurisdictions. There was much discussion.

Meeting recessed at 8:47PM
Meeting resumed at 8:55PM
Gonzalez said we are focusing a lot on the $50,000 annual amount. He said it is not a lot, but it is the cost of
operating and maintaining the rail that will be a lot of money. He said the other part of the equation is that the
general fund is $39 million and that is where this membership costs comes from. He said Georgetown is the only
entity in Williamson County paying into the district and yet there are six stations in the County. Gonzalez asked
and Black said the stations are brought forward from Project Connect. Gonzalez said, when you make the
commitment to run for office and do public service, he is bound to what his constituents want. He said, in his
elections, he did not make rail a campaign issue. He said the majority of his constituents sent the message that
they are not in favor of this. He said only fifty people spoke today versus the survey that had 900+ responses.
He said we have to look at the big picture and noted it is obvious the citizens are not wanting this. He said
citizens should not disenfranchise his constituents or place personal attacks on him. He spoke about the survey
and said it was a scientific poll. He said he is representing his citizens.
Jonrowe asked and Black confirmed they are public agency established by the Texas Legislator. Black said they
have a twenty member board, some are elected officials and some are representatives of the business
community.Jonrowe said there has been talk of comparing Georgetown to other communities and she asked
about the advantage of staying in now rather than coming in later. He said staying in will give the City a voice in
the process. Black spoke about some of the other communities and how they do not have the financial ability to
come in at this point. Jonrowe asked and Black said our membership dues do not commit the city to any future
funds. Jonrowe asked about density and how many people are saying the City does not have the population
density to support this project.Black said this is a legacy project that is looking out 30-50 years into the future. He
said this is not a project meant to address transportation issues now.
Hammerlun asked and Black said Round Rock is interested in participating through Project Connect.

Hammerlun thanked Black for talking about their O&M costs. Black said the commitment they are asking for is
not a dollar figure. He said the commitment is the creation of the value capture districts and he said they do not
intend to say $2 million is what they need. Hammerlun asked and Black said they are participating with other
entities through Project Connect but it will lead them into the Rail District. Black said the CAMPO travel demand
model has never been FDA compliant. Black said there is an interlocal agreement between Capital Metro and the
City of Austin and the Rail District in order to advance this study. Hammerlun asked and Black spoke in detail
about the ridership study. Hammerlun asked and Black said they have a very good partner in TXDOT. Black
said this is the first legislative session he can remember where the Director of TXDOT was involved in pushing
legislative to get money put toward rail relocation. He continued to speak about this. He spoke about the
changing of minds of TXDOT regarding the possibility for rail.
Fought spoke about the cost to re-enter and added the $50 million to the $100 million amount is out of the ball
park. Black said he feels that they need to have lower barriers to enter into the district. Fought asked and Black
said they are hoping to change the County's mind about joining the district. Fought said this is a big project and
there is a lot of risk. He noted he is not sure if the City should lean into this risk without participation from the
County. Black said we are not asking the cities to share in the risk of capital. Fought said that is not necessarily
true. He said he would not put his money on this and he is having difficulty saying he would put your money on
this.
Hesser said his issue is regarding the TIF. He asked and Black explained how the TIF would work. Hesser
asked and Black said, if the City got out and came back in, they could probably get in for $100,000.Black said if
the City opts out and the other jurisdictions have not, there will be ramifications to the funding plan because of
that decision. He said development decisions would have been made and the City would be shorting its funding
ability to pay into the system. He said they would get farther and farther into a hole the later the City waits to get
back in. Hesser asked that Black send him the financial statement.
Hellmann asked and Black said the stations in Williamson County are not final yet and added some of the
stations will also be capital metro stations. He spoke about his discussions with other Williamson County entities.
Hellmann asked and Black said Cedar Park does not currently have a station. He said recently, Cedar Park
approached capital metro asking for a station. Black said, now that Cedar Park wants a station, they will need to
bear much of the cost. That cost is a policy decision at the Board level. Hellmann asked and Black siad, at the
highest service level, there will be a train leaving the station every 15 minutes. He said there would also be an
express service from Austin to downtown.
Eason said it sounds like the real problem for people is the issue of getting out and the cost of getting back in.
She spoke about the possibility of missing out on the opportunity of that infrastructure being built. She said there
needs to be a better understanding of the uniqueness of Georgetown. Black said Georgetown is unique as it is
not on the Union Pacific rail line and he spoke about what they means for the planning process. He said it will be
more expensive to build and study environmentally. He said the Board of Directors selected Georgetown as the
Northern terminus. Eason described why Birkman and Williamson County got out of the district.
Gonzalez asked and Black confirmed he is paid to work for the district and said his job is to study the facts and
present the facts. Gonzalez asked and Black said none of the rail he has worked on has failed. Gonzalez asked
and Black said, just like every road in the country, there is no money returned. Gonzalez asked and Black said
there are no additional taxes related to the rail. He said most people see the rail as a positive advantage to their
business.
Jonrowe said Gonzalez is being disingenuous and trying to throw confusion on this issue. She said, at the end of
the day, it is going to be up to Council to see how the City votes for this in the future. Black agreed. Jonrowe
asked and Black said it is a misconception that they build the station. Black said the value capture mechanism is
the one they have in their legislation. Jonrowe asked and Black confirmed the City will have the ultimate authority
on how the rail will be built and funded.
Hammerlun said he would like to talk more about the timeline. He asked and Black said the environmental
studies and reports can be done in about 4 years. Black said they are about send a letter of initiation to the
federal highway administration to formally open the project. He continued to describe this process. Hammerlun
asked and Black said there are multiple locations being studied with respect to rail relocation. Hammerlun said
the worst case scenario is this would take five years and best case is three years. Hammerlun asked and Black
said the money for this study comes from state and federal entities as well as private investors. Hammerlun
asked for a best case scenario timeline and Black provided this to him. Hammerlun asked and Black said he has
worked on projects where the ridership is both below and above what was expected. Black added none of his
projects have failed.

Fought said he thinks the TIF or TOD is a fine idea. He noted he is trying to evaluate the risk versus the reward.
He said there was mixed information regarding who was going to build the station.Fought asked and trips per day
and how many people per trip. Black said it would be about 500-600 people per trip. Fought said what he is
trying to calculate the risk on this. He said that is a lot of growth we have to have to support that. Fought spoke
about the travel time between Georgetown and Austin. He said people would have to drive to the station, pay
money to park, pay to take the rail, then maybe rent a car once he gets to the final stop. He said it seems you
would not get to your final destination as quickly. Black said it is not true that the stations would be in
undeveloped areas. He said some cities want the station downtown so it can be a gateway to their downtown
area. He said New Braunfels wants their station downtown because they see it as a destination. He said
Georgetown saw Georgetown's station as more of a commuter station. He said it will vary depending on the
station.
Hesser asked and Black said their hope is for 12 round trips per day. Hesser asked about how much the TIF
would need to produce for maintenance costs. Black spoke about how these costs would be broken up between
all of the participating entities.
Hellmann asked about the TIF intersections and Black said they have done traffic counts at some of the
intersections and they were the same as 30 years ago because they are at their maximum. He said there will not
be one station that will suffer. Hellmann asked and Black said the north corridor study includes Lone Star Rail as
a given. Hellmann asked and Black spoke about how the rail plans are going to be connecting the airport to the
Austin area. Hellmann appreciates his candor and being transparent.
Eason said one question she received was if the City will be paying $50,000 after the station is built. Black said
the official response is they do not know yet . He said his recommendation is to remove that cost but noted it is a
Board decision. Eason said all of the entities are in this together and people across the country are subsidizing
participation in this program. He said there are a lot of misconceptions that Round Rock staff has regarding
costs. Eason said she would like to bring up the survey. She quoted the actual question regarding if citizens
would support or not support a tax increase on transportation related items. She said no transportation item
received majority support. She said 70% of the respondents would not support tax increases for construction of
new overpasses on I-35 or expanding FM 1460 from Georgetown to Round Rock. She said people need to
understand the real question of the survey.
Motion by Gonzalez, second by Fought to approve the Resolution.
Jonrowe read a statement into the record. For complete video and audio of the statement, please visit the City of
Georgetown's GTV website at http://government.georgetown.org/gtv/
Fought said this has been a good discussion. He said this is not going to be free. He noted the cost is shared but
it is there and it is substantial. He said there are Georgetown tax dollars involved. He said he is trying to evaluate
the risk in all of this and he feels the city is bearing too much cost and gaining too much operational risk. He
noted this needs to involve the County. He said, without the County in it, in his view it does not pay. Fought said
he is interested in Project Connect. He said it makes sense to him to turn this over to GTAB for further study and
discussion. He said, in his opinion, take participation off the table for now and ask GTAB to take a look at it and
work with the County and see if they are going to participate.
Vote on the motion: Approved 6-1 (Jonrowe opposed)
Eason said she voted in favor of this motion because she will be bringing this back to Council as a motion to
reconsider.

SUBJECT:
Consideration and possible action to approve a Resolution authorizing the vacation and abandonment of a
portion of a Channel Easement located on Lot 3, Block B, Record Final Plat, The Enclave Subdivision,
a subdivision of record in Cabinet U, Slide 399, of the Plat Records of Williamson County, Texas and being
further described in Volume 416, Page 60 of the Official Records of Williamson County, Texas; authorizing
the Mayor to execute a quitclaim deed and/or any other documentation necessary to vacate and abandon
the easement; and establishing an effective date -- Terri Glasby Calhoun, SR/WA, R/W-NAC, Real Estate
Services Coordinator and Edward G. Polasek, AICP, Transportation Services Director
ITEM SUMMARY:
On January 11, 2012, the City received an application for the vacation and abandonment of a portion of a
1956 drainage channel easement that was conveyed to the State of Texas at the time the State acquired right
of way to construct FM 2338/Williams Drive. In 1999, the property upon which the channel easement was
located was platted as The Enclave Subdivision and a drainage easement intended to replace the 1956
channel easement was dedicated on the plat (see attached copy of plat), but the 1956 easement was never
abandoned. Upon initial review of the application, staff determined that the platted easement was insufficient
to replace the 1956 easement and further evaluation was needed before the 1956 easement could be
abandoned. Such evaluation has been completed and the property owner has since conveyed a new
replacement easement that meets the City Utility Engineer’s criteria for abandonment of the 1956
easement. A copy of the new easement is attached.
There are no other utilities located within the channel easement area proposed for abandonment that are not
already, or will be, located within recorded utility easements.
The 1956 easement was dedicated to the State before the property was located within the City limits and
since the new easement in being donated in exchange for the abandonment of the 1956 easement, Staff
recommends waiving payment of additional consideration by the Applicant. This abandonment does not
apply to the remainder of the easement located on the adjacent Lots 2 and 4, Block B, of The Enclave
Subdivision.
Staff recommends Council authorize the abandonment and vacation of the subject easement, without further
consideration, by quitclaim deed or other instrument necessary to complete the abandonment/ vacation. The
General Manager of Utilities, or his designee, has reviewed the request and has no objection to the
abandonment/vacation.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None.

Consideration and possible action to approve a Resolution adopting prevailing wage ratesfor public work
projects awarded by the City in accordance with Chapter 2258, Texas Government Code -- Bridget
Chapman, Acting City Attorney
ITEM SUMMARY:
Texas Government Code Chapter 2258 generally requires a political subdivision, such as the City, to
determine the general prevailing rate of per diem wages in the locality in which the public work is to be
performed for each craft or type of worker needed to execute the contract by: 1) conducting a survey of the
wages received by classes of workers employed on projects of a character similar to the contract work in the
political subdivision of the state in which the public work is to be performed; or 2) using the prevailing wage
rate as determined by the United States Department of Labor in accordance with the Davis-Bacon Act.
The Finance Department, led by the City’s Financial Analyst, conducted a survey of the wages received by
classes of workers employed on projects similar to City projects in the greater Williamson County
area. Wage data from 1,675 firms was requested: 9 firms responded with no data; 14 firms responded with
data; 1,498 firms did not respond; 154 firms were not actually contacted as a result of an incorrect address.
After analyzing the data obtained from the survey, Staff recommends approval of the attached Resolution
adopting the wage rates for the craft or type of worker listed in Exhibit A as the prevailing wage rates for
public work projects awarded by the City.

· August 27, 2013: 2nd Reading of Ordinance. (Second Reading can be held up to 90 days from 1st reading,
the last scheduled Council Meeting in the 90 days is October 22, 2013.)
Recommended Motion:Approval of the resolution granting a petition and setting the public hearing
dates for the Vantage at Georgetown voluntary annexation.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
City services, including police and fire protection, emergency medical services, solid waste collection and
disposal, maintenance of water and wastewater facilities, maintenance of road, streets and drainage, street

SUBJECT:
Consideration and possible action to utilize forfeited funds for Department purchases in an amount not to
exceed $58,000 --Wayne Nero, Chief of Police
ITEM SUMMARY:
The Police Department maintains an account of monies that are forfeited and/or seized in the course of
criminal investigations. These funds come from criminal activities as outlined in Chapter 59 of the Texas
Code of Criminal Procedure and may include funds stemming from criminal proceeds or contraband. The
forfeiture of these funds is subject to judicial review and all such funds are awarded to the police department
by a criminal court. Chapter 59 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure further mandates that these
monies only be used for law enforcement purposes such as training, specialized equipment, or items to be
utilized in direct law enforcement duties.
In compliance with Chapter 59 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure the Police Department is
submitting this proposal for the purchase the following equipment with forfeited funds:
1. Law Enforcement Officer Performance and Reaction Drill (LEOPARD – Physical
Assessment/Obstacle Course) Validation Study not to exceed the amount of $26,000.
2. IA PRO/Blue Team Software not to exceed $17,000.
3. Breaching tools not to exceed $15,000.
Total not to exceed $58,000.

Explanation & Justification of Request
Cover Memo
Item # K
Explanation & Justification of Request
1. Law Enforcement Officer Performance and Reaction Drill (LEOPARD –
Physical Assessment/Obstacle Course) Validation Study not to exceed the
amount of $26,000.
The Georgetown Police Department currently utilizes the LEOPARD course for
assessing physical agility for new hires. There are currently no physical agility
standards after candidates are hired.
This request seeks to engage in work with Dr. Paul Davis, designer of the
LEOPARD course. We are proposing a validation study of the LEOPARD course
and seek to establish valid criteria for an absolute cut point for both new hires and
incumbent officers alike. Dr. Davis’ credentials uniquely qualify him as the
contractor of choice for the following reason:
1. A terminal degree (Ph.D.) in Kinesiology.
2. A qualified Expert Witness in federal and state court on physical ability testing
(>50 cases).
3. Recognized as “Preeminent in his field” by federal judge Newcomer.
4. Coauthor of the textbook Hard Work.
5. Track record of successful projects for virtually every federal law enforcement
agency.
6. Certification by the American College of Sports Medicine as a Program Director-
the ACSM’s highest certification.
The scope of work will allow the Georgetown Police Department to establish valid
physical agility standards for new hires and incumbent officers.

Item # K
2. IA PRO/Blue Team Software not to exceed $17,000.
IA Pro and Blue Team are robust full-featured software programs designed to manage Internal
Affairs and Professional Standards. It simplifies use of force reporting, field level discipline,
complaints, vehicle accidents and pursuit reporting. The software package enables early
identification and intervention, streamlined case management, and a broad range of actionable
statistical reports.

Item # K
3. Breaching tools not to exceed $15,000.
The Georgetown Police Department has recently completed a
nationally recognized Level 1 Active Shooter training program.
During this training, officers are taught individual and team based
skills to include initial response, tactical breaching, weapons
manipulation, threshold evaluations, team movement, and room
entries.
While these skills and equipment have previously been
reserved for specialized teams such as SWAT, today’s
contemporary standard regarding rapid deployment to
active shooter incidents require an immediate response
from patrol. This request is to provide breaching
equipment to the officers taking them beyond mere
knowledge of “how to breach.” The department
recently purchased a “breaching door” (pictured
above) in order to train and certify officers in the skills
required to gain positive access to locations when
circumstances require immediate intervention. In
furtherance of this training, this request seeks to place breaching tools in the majority of police
vehicles in order that the tools required for the officers are readily available to them in time of
imminent need.
The patrol kits currently being evaluated are similar in scope to those pictured above. While final
T&E is not yet complete, the final product will be comparable to the scope of what is illustrated
above and will not exceed $15,000 total.

Exhibit C
CITY OF GEORGETOWN
ANNEXATION SERVICE PLAN
AREA: VANTAGE AT GEORGETOWN
COUNCIL DISTRICT NO. 1
DATE: JULY 9, 2013
I. INTRODUCTION
This Service Plan (the Plan) is made by the City of Georgetown, Texas (City) pursuant to
Sections 43.056(b)-(o); 43.062, and 43.052(h)(1) of the Texas Local Government Code (LGC). This
Plan relates to the annexation into the City of the land shown on Exhibit “A” and Exhibit “B” to
this Service Plan, which has sometimes been referred to as “Vantage at Georgetown.” The
provisions of this Plan were made available for public inspection and explained to the public at
the two public hearings held by the City on July 9, 2013 and July 23, 2013, in accordance with
Section 43.056(j) of the LGC.
NOTE: This annexation was initiated by the petition or request of the owners of land in the
annexed area. As stated in Section 43.056(e) of the Texas Local Government Code, the
requirement that construction of capital improvements must be substantially completed within
the period provided in this service plan does not apply to a development project or proposed
development project within an area annexed at the request or on the petition of the landowner.
The development of this property will require a rezoning and comply with the City’s utility
extension policy.
II. TERM OF SERVICE PLAN
Pursuant to Section 43.056(l) of the LGC, this Plan shall be in effect for a ten-year period
commencing on the effective date of the ordinance approving the annexation. Renewal of the
Plan shall be at the discretion of the City Council and must be accomplished by Ordinance.
III. INTENT
It is the intent of the City that municipal services under this Plan shall provide municipal
services in accordance with the timetables required by the LGC. The City reserves the rights
guaranteed to it by the LGC to amend this Plan if the City Council determines that changed
conditions, subsequent occurrences, or any other legally sufficient circumstances exist under the
LGC or other Texas laws that make this Plan unworkable, obsolete, or unlawful.
IV. CATEGORIZATION OF MUNICIPAL SERVICES
The municipal services described herein are categorized by those services which are (1)
available to the annexed area immediately upon annexation; (2) those services which will be
available to the annexed area within 2½ years from the effective date of the annexation; and (3)
Attachment number 3 \nPage 1 of 13
Item # L
Annexation Service Plan Vantage Georgetown
Page 2 of 13
those services for which capital improvements are needed and which will be available within
4½ years from the effective date of the annexation based upon a schedule for construction of
such improvements as set forth herein.
For the purposes of this Plan, “provision of services” includes having services provided by any
method or means by which the City provides municipal services to any other areas of the City,
and may include causing or allowing private utilities, governmental entities and other public
service organizations to provide such services by contract, in whole or in part, and may include
duties on the part of a private landowner with regard to such services.
In addition, in accordance with Section 43.056(g) of the LGC, if before annexation the annexed
area had a lower level of services, infrastructure, and infrastructure maintenance than the same
being provided by the City to other areas within the City limits, this Plan shall be construed to
allow for the provision to the annexed area of a level of services, infrastructure, and
infrastructure maintenance that is comparable to the level of services, infrastructure, and
infrastructure maintenance in other parts of the City with topography, land use, and population
density similar to those reasonably contemplated or projected in the annexed area.

PROGRAM
1. In General – The City will initiate the construction of capital improvements necessary
for providing municipal services for the annexation area as necessary for services that
are provided directly by the City.
2. Water and Wastewater Services– Water and wastewater services are only provided to
occupied lots that have been legally subdivided and platted or are otherwise a legal lot,
and that are located within the boundaries of the City’s authorized service areas.
Further, existing residences in the annexed area that were served by a functioning onsite
sewer system (septic system) shall continue to use such private system for wastewater
services in conformance with the provisions of Section 13.20 of the City Code of
Ordinances. Existing non-residential establishments in the annexed area may continue
to use an onsite sewer system (septic system) for sewage disposal in conformance with
the provisions of Section 13.20 of the City Code of Ordinances. Upon the Development
of any property in the annexed area, the provisions of Chapter 13 of the UDC shall

Attachment number 3 \nPage 4 of 13
Item # L
Annexation Service Plan Vantage Georgetown
Page 5 of 13
service in accordance with the service extension ordinances, policies, and standards that
are summarized in Section X of this Plan, which may require that the property owner or
developer of a newly developed tract install water and wastewater lines. The extension
of water and wastewater services will be provided in accordance with any applicable
construction and design standards manuals adopted by the City.
3. Water and Wastewater Capital Improvements Schedule – Because of the time required
to design and construct the necessary water and wastewater facilities to serve the
annexed area, certain services cannot be reasonably provided within 2½ years of the
effective date of annexation. Therefore, in accordance with Sections 43.065(b) and (e) of
the LGC, the City shall implement a program, which will be initiated after the effective
date of the annexation and include the acquisition or construction of capital
improvements necessary for providing water and wastewater services to the area. The
following schedule for improvements is proposed: construction will commence within 2
½ years from the effective date of annexation and will be substantially complete within 4
½ years from the effective date of annexation. However, the provisions of Section VII of
this Plan shall apply to the schedule for completion of all capital improvements. In
addition, the acquisition or construction of the improvements shall be accomplished by
purchase, lease, or other contract or by the City succeeding to the powers, duties, assets,
and obligations of a conservation and reclamation district as authorized or required by
law.
4. Roads and Streets – No road or street related capital improvements are necessary at this
time. Future extension of roads or streets and installation of traffic control devices will
be governed by the City’s Comprehensive Plan, the City’s Overall Transportation Plan,
the City’s Capital Improvements Plan; the City’s regular or non-impact fee Capital
Improvements Program, and any applicable City ordinances, policies, and procedures,
which may require that the property owner or developer install roads and streets at the
property owner’s or developer’s expense. It is anticipated that the developer of new
subdivisions in the area will install street lighting in accordance with the City’s standard
policies and procedures. Provision of street lighting will be in accordance with the
City’s street lighting policies.
5. Capital Improvements for Other Municipal Services – No capital improvements are
necessary at this time to provide municipal Police; Fire Protection; Emergency Medical
Services; Solid Waste Collection; Public Parks, Playgrounds, or Swimming Pools; Public
Buildings or Facilities; or Library Services. The annexed area will be included in the
City’s future planning for new or expanded capital improvements and evaluated on the
same basis and in accordance with the same standards as similarly situated areas of the
City.

2. In accordance with Section 43.056(e) of the LGC, this Plan and the schedules for capital
improvements necessary to provide full municipal services to the annexed area may be
amended by the City to extend the period for construction if the construction is
proceeding with all deliberate speed. The construction of the improvements shall be
accomplished in a continuous process and shall be completed as soon as reasonably
possible, consistent with generally accepted local engineering and architectural
standards and practices. However, the City does not violate this Plan if the construction
process is interrupted for any reason by circumstances beyond the direct control of the
City.
VIII. AMENDMENTS
Pursuant to the provisions of Section 43.056(k) of the LGC, on approval by the City Council, the
Plan is a contractual obligation that is not subject to amendment or repeal except as provided by
state law. Section 43.056(k) of the LGC provides that if the City Council determines, after public
hearings, that changed conditions or subsequent occurrences make the Plan unworkable or
obsolete, the City Council may amend the Plan to conform to the changed conditions or
subsequent occurrences. An amended Plan must provide for services that are comparable to or
better than those established in the Plan before amendment. Before any Plan amendments are
adopted, the City Council must provide an opportunity for interested persons to be heard at
public hearings called and held in the manner provided by Section 43.0561 of the LGC.
IX. FEES

Page 7 of 13
In addition, these policies and ordinances are set by City Council and can be amended in the
future:
1. In General -- The provisions of Chapter 13 of the City’s Unified Development Code
(“UDC”) shall apply in the annexed area and Chapter 13 of the City Code of Ordinances.
Portions of the current Chapter 13 of the UDC and the current Chapter 13 of the Code of
Ordinances are summarized below. Note that these provisions are established by
ordinance of the City Council and are subject to change from time to time.
A. The City shall not repair, maintain, install or provide any water services, wastewater
service, gas, electricity or any other public utilities or services to any property that
has not been legally subdivided or is a non-legal lot.
B. For property that is required by the City’s UDC or other City regulations to construct
water or wastewater facilities, funding and construction of those facilities are the
responsibility of the property owner or developer (the “subdivider”).
C. Subdividers shall be responsible for providing an approved public water supply
system for fire protection and domestic/ commercial/ industrial usage consistent
with the Comprehensive Plan. Where an approved public water supply or
distribution main is within reasonable distance of the subdivision, but in no case less
than one-quarter mile away, and connection to the system is both possible and
permissible (including adequate system capacity), the subdivider shall be required to
bear the cost of connecting the subdivision to such existing water supply. The
subdivider shall, consistent with all existing ordinances, make a pro-rata
contribution to funding of needed storage facilities, treatment facilities, and specific
distribution lines as determined necessary by the City.
D. Subdividers shall be responsible for providing an approved public sanitary sewer
system, consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, throughout the entire subdivision
such that all lots, parcels, or tracts of land will be capable of connecting to the
sanitary sewer system except as otherwise provided herein. Where an approved
public sanitary sewer collection main or outfall line is in no case less than one-half
mile away, and connection to the system is both possible and permissible (including
adequate system capacity), the subdivider shall be required to bear the cost of
connecting the subdivision to such existing sanitary sewer system. Where an
approved public wastewater collection main or outfall line is more than one-half
mile away from the property boundary, and where extension of a sanitary sewer
collection main or outfall line is scheduled in the City’s Capital Improvements Plan
to be completed to a point within one-half mile of the property boundary within five
(5) years from the date of the Preliminary Plat approval, the subdivider shall be
required to install a public wastewater collection system. The design and
construction of a public sanitary sewer system shall comply with regulations
covering extension of public sanitary sewer systems adopted by the Texas
Commission on Environmental Quality.
Attachment number 3 \nPage 7 of 13
Item # L
Annexation Service Plan Vantage Georgetown
Page 8 of 13
E. All infrastructure and public improvements must be designed and installed in
accordance with all of the elements of the Comprehensive Plan and shall meet the
minimum requirements established by the UDC, the City's Construction Standards
and Specifications for Roads, Streets, Structures and Utilities, and any other adopted
City design or technical criteria. No main water line extension shall be less than
eight inches. All new public sanitary sewer systems shall be designed and
constructed to conform with the City’s Construction Standards and Specifications
and to operate on a gravity flow basis by taking advantage of natural topographic
conditions and thereby reducing the need for lift stations and force mains.
2. If the specific undeveloped property does not have City water or wastewater facilities
and capacity fronting the property – the owner may make an application for an
extension of service to the property. If the Assistant City Manager for Utilities
determines in writing that adequate water or wastewater capacity is available, or will be
available, and if the project does not include City cost participation or reimbursement, if
the proposed facilities are depicted on the City’s Water and Wastewater Master Plans,
and the requested service otherwise meets the City’s requirements, the extension size,
capacity, and routing may be approved by the Assistant City Manager for Utilities for
construction by the developer at the developer’s cost and expense.
3. If the specific undeveloped property does have adequate City water or wastewater
facilities and capacity fronting the property – the owner may receive water or
wastewater service from the City by applying for a tap permit and paying the required
fees.
4. If any property in the annexed area is using a septic system – the property owner
remains responsible for the operation and maintenance of the septic system. If the
property is in a Rural Residential Subdivision as defined in Chapter 13 of the UDC, or is
a legal lot greater than one acre in size and used for single family residential purposes,
the property shall continue the use of a septic system after annexation until such time
that the use of the property changes, the property is further subdivided or developed, or
a public sanitary sewer line has been extended to within 200 feet of the property
boundary and the property owner has received notification from the City of the City’s
desire for the property to be connected to the public sanitary sewer line. If the septic
system fails before the City’s centralized wastewater service is extended to within 200
feet of the property and the City determines that the provision of centralized wastewater
service is not feasible or practical at that time, then the property owner must either
repair or replace the septic system in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.20 of
the City Code of Ordinances. Properties using a septic system that are not in a Rural
Residential Subdivision , or are not legal lots greater than one acre in size and used for
single family residential purposes at the time of annexation, but that are designated as
either residential, open space or agricultural on the City’s Future Land Use Plan shall
continue the use of a septic system until such time that the use of the property changes,
the property is further subdivided or developed, or a public sanitary sewer line has been
Attachment number 3 \nPage 8 of 13
Item # L
Annexation Service Plan Vantage Georgetown
Page 9 of 13
extended to within 200 feet of the property boundary and the property owner has
received notification from the City of the City’s desire for the property to be connected
to the public sanitary sewer line.
5. Reimbursement and cost participation by the City – Pursuant to Section 13.09.030 of
the UDC, the City, in its sole discretion and with City Council approval, may participate
with a property owner or developer in the cost of oversized facilities or line extensions.
The actual calculation of the cost participation and reimbursement amounts, including
limits and schedules for the payments, are set forth in the UDC.
6. City Code of Ordinances: (The following provisions are set by the City Council and can
be amended in the future by ordinance.)
Chapter 13.10 of the City Code of Ordinances currently provides as follows:
Section 13.10.010 Policy established.
This policy shall apply to improvements to the City's utility systems, including system upgrades,
system expansion, and plant capacity additions. In this Section, the term “utility system” shall
mean the City’s water system, wastewater system, reuse irrigation system, and stormwater
drainage system.
Section 13.10.020 System Planning.
The City shall maintain and periodically update system plans for each utility so that system
improvements are implemented to maintain adequate capacity for growth while maintaining
proper service levels to existing customers.
Section 13.10.030 Project Timing.
A. Projects designed to expand or upgrade a utility system must be completed and ready
for operations such that capacity requirements by state regulatory agencies and City
system plans are met.
B. When possible, the City should coordinate the construction of system improvements
in a particular location with the expansion or maintenance of other utility
infrastructure to minimize the future impact on each utility.
C. Projects should begin the design phase when existing demand at a specific location
exceeds 75% of current capacity and future demand is expected to exceed the current
total capacity.
D. Projects should begin the construction phase when existing demand at a specific
location exceeds 90% of current capacity and future demand is expected to exceed the
current total capacity.
Attachment number 3 \nPage 9 of 13

Page 10 of 13
E. Projects required to facilitate the development of a specific tract shall be done in
accordance with the Unified Development Code.
F. Projects required as a result of an annexation service plan shall be provided as stated
in the approved Service Plan for such annexed tracts.
Section 13.10.040 Project Financing.

subdivider in accordance with the Unified Development Code, unless otherwise
authorized in writing and approved by the City Council in accordance with the terms
of Section 13.09 of the Unified Development Code or other applicable law.
B. When utility expansion is requested within a portion of the City’s utility service area,
but the City is not otherwise required to provide service or planning to provide
service as reflected in the City’s Capital Improvements Plan, the City may
nonetheless, at the City’s sole option, facilitate the design and construction of the
required utility extensions or upgrades by managing the project with the cost of such
extensions to be shared and fully paid by the requesting landowners or subdividers
prior to commencement of the project.
C. When utility expansion is requested within a portion of the City’s utility service area,
the City shall evaluate degree to which the project 1) facilitates contiguous growth, 2)
maximizes the provision of service to the service area, 3) enhances economic
development, 4) improves system operations, 5) contributes to conservation or other
environmental concern, and 6) facilitates the completion of the utility master plan.
D. At the City’s sole option, the City may also facilitate the installation of utility
expansion requests through 1) financial cost contribution, 2) financing of the
improvement using individual contracts between the City and each landowner for a
proportionate share of the project cost to be paid out over a specified period of time at
a specified rate of interest, 3) Impact Fee or connection fee reduction or waiver.
Chapter 13.20 of the City Code of Ordinances currently provides as follows:
Sec. 13.20.010. General.
A. It is unlawful for any owner or lessee, tenant or other person in possession of any
premises where any person lives or works, or occupies the same, to establish,
maintain or use any water closet, bathtub, lavatory or sink except by one of the
following means and consistent with the other terms, conditions and requirements of
this Chapter and with the City’s Unified Development Code:
1. Connection to an approved Onsite Sewage Facility that is constructed

Annexation Service Plan Vantage Georgetown
Page 11 of 13
2. Connection to a public centralized wastewater collection main with all
wastewater discharged to a centralized public wastewater collection
system.
B. Upon the “Development” of property, the provisions of Chapter 13 of the Unified
Development Code (pertaining to Infrastructure and Public Improvements) shall
govern the provision of wastewater service to the property. For the purposes of this
section, the term “Development” shall have the same meaning as in Section 16.05 of
the City’s Unified Development Code.
C. It is the duty of each such person referenced in subsection (A), above, to connect such
fixtures to an approved wastewater system, and to maintain the same.
Sec. 13.20.020. On Site Sewage Facilities.
A. General. All On Site Sewage Facilities must be constructed and maintained in
accordance with the rules and regulations of the appropriate state and local agencies
having jurisdiction over such facilities.
B. Availability of a Public Centralized Wastewater Collection Main. If a public
centralized wastewater collection main is located within 200 feet of a property line,
and the wastewater collection main has adequate capacity to receive and transport the
wastewater flow produced by the property, then property owner shall connect that
property to said utility line at the earliest to occur of either of the following events:
failure of the On Site Sewage Facility servicing the property, or the date that is five
(5) years after receipt of notice of the availability of a wastewater collection main
within 200-feet of the property line.
C. Failure of On Site Sewage Facility. When an Onsite Sewage Facility fails, the
following provisions shall apply:
a. If a public centralized wastewater collection main is located within 200 feet of
the property boundary, and the wastewater collection main has adequate capacity
to receive and transport the wastewater flow produced by the property, then the
property must be connected to said utility line by the property owner;
b. If no public centralized wastewater collection main is located within 200 feet of
the property boundary, the City shall evaluate the feasibility of providing
centralized wastewater collection services to the property via a gravity or low
pressure system. Where the provision of gravity sewer service or low pressure
system is technically feasible, utility system improvements may be made in

Exhibit C
CITY OF GEORGETOWN
ANNEXATION SERVICE PLAN
AREA: CELEBRATION CHURCH
COUNCIL DISTRICT NO. 1
DATE: JULY 9, 2013
I. INTRODUCTION
This Service Plan (the Plan) is made by the City of Georgetown, Texas (City) pursuant to
Sections 43.056(b)-(o); 43.062, and 43.052(h)(1) of the Texas Local Government Code (LGC). This
Plan relates to the annexation into the City of the land shown on Exhibit “A” and Exhibit “B” to
this Service Plan, which has sometimes been referred to as “Celebration Church.” The
provisions of this Plan were made available for public inspection and explained to the public at
the two public hearings held by the City on July 9, 2013, and July 23, 2013, in accordance with
Section 43.056(j) of the LGC.
NOTE: This annexation was initiated by the petition or request of the owners of land in the
annexed area. As stated in Section 43.056(e) of the Texas Local Government Code, the
requirement that construction of capital improvements must be substantially completed within
the period provided in this service plan does not apply to a development project or proposed
development project within an area annexed at the request or on the petition of the landowner.
The development of this property would require a rezoning and Utility Agreement at the time
of development. The rezoning and Utility Agreement shall control the schedule of the provision
of municipal services for the areas. To the extent that there is a conflict between this Service
Plan and Utility Agreement, the Utility Agreement shall control. Water is currently provided by
Chisholm Trail and the City of Georgetown has no obligation to provide water services to the
property as of the date of this service plan and shall have no obligation to fulfill provisions of
this plan pertaining to such services.
II. TERM OF SERVICE PLAN
Pursuant to Section 43.056(l) of the LGC, this Plan shall be in effect for a ten-year period
commencing on the effective date of the ordinance approving the annexation. Renewal of the
Plan shall be at the discretion of the City Council and must be accomplished by Ordinance.
III. INTENT
It is the intent of the City that municipal services under this Plan shall provide municipal
services in accordance with the timetables required by the LGC. The City reserves the rights
guaranteed to it by the LGC to amend this Plan if the City Council determines that changed
conditions, subsequent occurrences, or any other legally sufficient circumstances exist under the
LGC or other Texas laws that make this Plan unworkable, obsolete, or unlawful.

IV. CATEGORIZATION OF MUNICIPAL SERVICES
The municipal services described herein are categorized by those services which are (1)
available to the annexed area immediately upon annexation; (2) those services which will be
available to the annexed area within 2½ years from the effective date of the annexation; and (3)
those services for which capital improvements are needed and which will be available within
4½ years from the effective date of the annexation based upon a schedule for construction of
such improvements as set forth herein.
For the purposes of this Plan, “provision of services” includes having services provided by any
method or means by which the City provides municipal services to any other areas of the City,
and may include causing or allowing private utilities, governmental entities and other public
service organizations to provide such services by contract, in whole or in part, and may include
duties on the part of a private landowner with regard to such services.
In addition, in accordance with Section 43.056(g) of the LGC, if before annexation the annexed
area had a lower level of services, infrastructure, and infrastructure maintenance than the same
being provided by the City to other areas within the City limits, this Plan shall be construed to
allow for the provision to the annexed area of a level of services, infrastructure, and
infrastructure maintenance that is comparable to the level of services, infrastructure, and
infrastructure maintenance in other parts of the City with topography, land use, and population
density similar to those reasonably contemplated or projected in the annexed area.
V. SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED UPON ANNEXATION
1. Police Protection –Upon annexation, the Georgetown Police Department will extend
regular and routine patrols to the area.

Fire Department will provide response services in the annexed area consisting of:
fire suppression and rescue; emergency response to 9-1-1 calls; fire prevention
education efforts, and other duties and services provided by the Georgetown Fire
Department to areas within the City limits.
3. Solid Waste Collection – Upon annexation, for occupied structures, the City will
provide solid waste collection services to the annexed area in accordance with City
ordinances and policies in effect on the date of the annexation. However, per the

PROGRAM
1. In General – The City will initiate the construction of capital improvements necessary
for providing municipal services for the annexation area as necessary for services that
are provided directly by the City.
2. Water and Wastewater Services– Water and wastewater services are only provided to
occupied lots that have been legally subdivided and platted or are otherwise a legal lot,
and that are located within the boundaries of the City’s authorized service areas.
Further, existing residences in the annexed area that were served by a functioning onsite
sewer system (septic system) shall continue to use such private system for wastewater
services in conformance with the provisions of Section 13.20 of the City Code of
Ordinances. Existing non-residential establishments in the annexed area may continue

Attachment number 3 \nPage 4 of 13
Item # M
Annexation Service Plan Celebration Church
Page 5 of 13
of any property in the annexed area, the provisions of Chapter 13 of the UDC shall
apply. The City shall have no obligation to extend water or wastewater service to any
part of the annexed area that is within the service area of another water or wastewater
utility. For annexed areas located within the City’s authorized service areas, the City
shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan, extend water and wastewater
service in accordance with the service extension ordinances, policies, and standards that
are summarized in Section X of this Plan, which may require that the property owner or
developer of a newly developed tract install water and wastewater lines. The extension
of water and wastewater services will be provided in accordance with any applicable
construction and design standards manuals adopted by the City.
3. Water and Wastewater Capital Improvements Schedule – Because of the time required
to design and construct the necessary water and wastewater facilities to serve the
annexed area, certain services cannot be reasonably provided within 2½ years of the
effective date of annexation. Therefore, in accordance with Sections 43.065(b) and (e) of
the LGC, the City shall implement a program, which will be initiated after the effective
date of the annexation and include the acquisition or construction of capital
improvements necessary for providing water and wastewater services to the area. The
following schedule for improvements is proposed: construction will commence within 2
½ years from the effective date of annexation and will be substantially complete within 4
½ years from the effective date of annexation. However, the provisions of Section VII of
this Plan shall apply to the schedule for completion of all capital improvements. In
addition, the acquisition or construction of the improvements shall be accomplished by
purchase, lease, or other contract or by the City succeeding to the powers, duties, assets,
and obligations of a conservation and reclamation district as authorized or required by
law.
4. Roads and Streets – No road or street related capital improvements are necessary at this
time. Future extension of roads or streets and installation of traffic control devices will
be governed by the City’s Comprehensive Plan, the City’s Overall Transportation Plan,
the City’s Capital Improvements Plan; the City’s regular or non-impact fee Capital
Improvements Program, and any applicable City ordinances, policies, and procedures,
which may require that the property owner or developer install roads and streets at the
property owner’s or developer’s expense. It is anticipated that the developer of new
subdivisions in the area will install street lighting in accordance with the City’s standard
policies and procedures. Provision of street lighting will be in accordance with the
City’s street lighting policies.
5. Capital Improvements for Other Municipal Services – No capital improvements are
necessary at this time to provide municipal Police; Fire Protection; Emergency Medical
Services; Solid Waste Collection; Public Parks, Playgrounds, or Swimming Pools; Public
Buildings or Facilities; or Library Services. The annexed area will be included in the
City’s future planning for new or expanded capital improvements and evaluated on the
same basis and in accordance with the same standards as similarly situated areas of the
City.

extended to account for delays caused by such Force Majeure Event.
2. In accordance with Section 43.056(e) of the LGC, this Plan and the schedules for capital
improvements necessary to provide full municipal services to the annexed area may be
amended by the City to extend the period for construction if the construction is
proceeding with all deliberate speed. The construction of the improvements shall be
accomplished in a continuous process and shall be completed as soon as reasonably
possible, consistent with generally accepted local engineering and architectural
standards and practices. However, the City does not violate this Plan if the construction
process is interrupted for any reason by circumstances beyond the direct control of the
City.
VIII. AMENDMENTS
Pursuant to the provisions of Section 43.056(k) of the LGC, on approval by the City Council, the
Plan is a contractual obligation that is not subject to amendment or repeal except as provided by
state law. Section 43.056(k) of the LGC provides that if the City Council determines, after public
hearings, that changed conditions or subsequent occurrences make the Plan unworkable or
obsolete, the City Council may amend the Plan to conform to the changed conditions or
subsequent occurrences. An amended Plan must provide for services that are comparable to or
better than those established in the Plan before amendment. Before any Plan amendments are
adopted, the City Council must provide an opportunity for interested persons to be heard at
public hearings called and held in the manner provided by Section 43.0561 of the LGC.

Per the requirements of Section 43.056(e) of the LGC, the following summary is provided
regarding the City’s current service extension policies for water and wastewater service.
Attachment number 3 \nPage 6 of 13
Item # M
Annexation Service Plan Celebration Church
Page 7 of 13
However, this is a summary of the current policies, and the policies and regulations related to
water and wastewater utility extensions that are included in the City Code of Ordinances, the
Unified Development Code, the City’s Construction and Specifications Manual; Drainage
Manual, and other published policies and technical manuals, as the same may be amended from
time to time, shall control the extension of water and wastewater services to the annexed area.
In addition, these policies and ordinances are set by City Council and can be amended in the
future:
1. In General -- The provisions of Chapter 13 of the City’s Unified Development Code
(“UDC”) shall apply in the annexed area and Chapter 13 of the City Code of Ordinances.
Portions of the current Chapter 13 of the UDC and the current Chapter 13 of the Code of
Ordinances are summarized below. Note that these provisions are established by
ordinance of the City Council and are subject to change from time to time.
A. The City shall not repair, maintain, install or provide any water services, wastewater
service, gas, electricity or any other public utilities or services to any property that
has not been legally subdivided or is a non-legal lot.
B. For property that is required by the City’s UDC or other City regulations to construct
water or wastewater facilities, funding and construction of those facilities are the
responsibility of the property owner or developer (the “subdivider”).
C. Subdividers shall be responsible for providing an approved public water supply
system for fire protection and domestic/ commercial/ industrial usage consistent
with the Comprehensive Plan. Where an approved public water supply or
distribution main is within reasonable distance of the subdivision, but in no case less
than one-quarter mile away, and connection to the system is both possible and
permissible (including adequate system capacity), the subdivider shall be required to
bear the cost of connecting the subdivision to such existing water supply. The
subdivider shall, consistent with all existing ordinances, make a pro-rata
contribution to funding of needed storage facilities, treatment facilities, and specific
distribution lines as determined necessary by the City.
D. Subdividers shall be responsible for providing an approved public sanitary sewer
system, consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, throughout the entire subdivision
such that all lots, parcels, or tracts of land will be capable of connecting to the
sanitary sewer system except as otherwise provided herein. Where an approved
public sanitary sewer collection main or outfall line is in no case less than one-half
mile away, and connection to the system is both possible and permissible (including
adequate system capacity), the subdivider shall be required to bear the cost of
connecting the subdivision to such existing sanitary sewer system. Where an
approved public wastewater collection main or outfall line is more than one-half
mile away from the property boundary, and where extension of a sanitary sewer
collection main or outfall line is scheduled in the City’s Capital Improvements Plan
to be completed to a point within one-half mile of the property boundary within five
Attachment number 3 \nPage 7 of 13
Item # M
Annexation Service Plan Celebration Church
Page 8 of 13
(5) years from the date of the Preliminary Plat approval, the subdivider shall be
required to install a public wastewater collection system. The design and
construction of a public sanitary sewer system shall comply with regulations
covering extension of public sanitary sewer systems adopted by the Texas
Commission on Environmental Quality.
E. All infrastructure and public improvements must be designed and installed in
accordance with all of the elements of the Comprehensive Plan and shall meet the
minimum requirements established by the UDC, the City's Construction Standards
and Specifications for Roads, Streets, Structures and Utilities, and any other adopted
City design or technical criteria. No main water line extension shall be less than
eight inches. All new public sanitary sewer systems shall be designed and
constructed to conform with the City’s Construction Standards and Specifications
and to operate on a gravity flow basis by taking advantage of natural topographic
conditions and thereby reducing the need for lift stations and force mains.
2. If the specific undeveloped property does not have City water or wastewater facilities
and capacity fronting the property – the owner may make an application for an
extension of service to the property. If the Assistant City Manager for Utilities
determines in writing that adequate water or wastewater capacity is available, or will be
available, and if the project does not include City cost participation or reimbursement, if
the proposed facilities are depicted on the City’s Water and Wastewater Master Plans,
and the requested service otherwise meets the City’s requirements, the extension size,
capacity, and routing may be approved by the Assistant City Manager for Utilities for
construction by the developer at the developer’s cost and expense.
3. If the specific undeveloped property does have adequate City water or wastewater
facilities and capacity fronting the property – the owner may receive water or
wastewater service from the City by applying for a tap permit and paying the required
fees.
4. If any property in the annexed area is using a septic system – the property owner
remains responsible for the operation and maintenance of the septic system. If the
property is in a Rural Residential Subdivision as defined in Chapter 13 of the UDC, or is
a legal lot greater than one acre in size and used for single family residential purposes,
the property shall continue the use of a septic system after annexation until such time
that the use of the property changes, the property is further subdivided or developed, or
a public sanitary sewer line has been extended to within 200 feet of the property
boundary and the property owner has received notification from the City of the City’s
desire for the property to be connected to the public sanitary sewer line. If the septic
system fails before the City’s centralized wastewater service is extended to within 200
feet of the property and the City determines that the provision of centralized wastewater
service is not feasible or practical at that time, then the property owner must either
repair or replace the septic system in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.20 of
the City Code of Ordinances. Properties using a septic system that are not in a Rural
Attachment number 3 \nPage 8 of 13
Item # M
Annexation Service Plan Celebration Church
Page 9 of 13
Residential Subdivision , or are not legal lots greater than one acre in size and used for
single family residential purposes at the time of annexation, but that are designated as
either residential, open space or agricultural on the City’s Future Land Use Plan shall
continue the use of a septic system until such time that the use of the property changes,
the property is further subdivided or developed, or a public sanitary sewer line has been
extended to within 200 feet of the property boundary and the property owner has
received notification from the City of the City’s desire for the property to be connected
to the public sanitary sewer line.
5. Reimbursement and cost participation by the City – Pursuant to Section 13.09.030 of
the UDC, the City, in its sole discretion and with City Council approval, may participate
with a property owner or developer in the cost of oversized facilities or line extensions.
The actual calculation of the cost participation and reimbursement amounts, including
limits and schedules for the payments, are set forth in the UDC.

Annexation Service Plan Madison at Georgetown Section III
Page 1 of 13
Exhibit C
CITY OF GEORGETOWN
ANNEXATION SERVICE PLAN
AREA: MADISON AT GEORGETOWN SECTION III
COUNCIL DISTRICT NO. 4
DATE: JULY 9, 2013
I. INTRODUCTION
This Service Plan (the Plan) is made by the City of Georgetown, Texas (City) pursuant to
Sections 43.056(b)-(o); 43.062, and 43.052(h)(1) of the Texas Local Government Code (LGC). This
Plan relates to the annexation into the City of the land shown on Exhibit “A” and Exhibit “B” to
this Service Plan, which has sometimes been referred to as “Madison at Georgetown Section
III.” The provisions of this Plan were made available for public inspection and explained to the
public at the two public hearings held by the City on July 9, 2013, and July 23, 2013, in
accordance with Section 43.056(j) of the LGC.
NOTE: This annexation was initiated by the petition or request of the owners of land in the
annexed area. As stated in Section 43.056(e) of the Texas Local Government Code, the
requirement that construction of capital improvements must be substantially completed within
the period provided in this service plan does not apply to a development project or proposed
development project within an area annexed at the request or on the petition of the landowner.
The development of this property would require a rezoning and Utility Agreement at the time
of development. The rezoning and Utility Agreement shall control the schedule of the provision
of municipal services for the areas. To the extent that there is a conflict between this Service
Plan and Utility Agreement, the Utility Agreement shall control. Water is currently provided by
Chisholm Trail and the City of Georgetown has no obligation to provide water services to the
property as of the date of this service plan and shall have no obligation to fulfill provisions of
this plan pertaining to such services.
II. TERM OF SERVICE PLAN
Pursuant to Section 43.056(l) of the LGC, this Plan shall be in effect for a ten-year period
commencing on the effective date of the ordinance approving the annexation. Renewal of the
Plan shall be at the discretion of the City Council and must be accomplished by Ordinance.
III. INTENT
It is the intent of the City that municipal services under this Plan shall provide municipal
services in accordance with the timetables required by the LGC. The City reserves the rights
guaranteed to it by the LGC to amend this Plan if the City Council determines that changed
conditions, subsequent occurrences, or any other legally sufficient circumstances exist under the
LGC or other Texas laws that make this Plan unworkable, obsolete, or unlawful.

Page 2 of 13
IV. CATEGORIZATION OF MUNICIPAL SERVICES
The municipal services described herein are categorized by those services which are (1)
available to the annexed area immediately upon annexation; (2) those services which will be
available to the annexed area within 2½ years from the effective date of the annexation; and (3)
those services for which capital improvements are needed and which will be available within
4½ years from the effective date of the annexation based upon a schedule for construction of
such improvements as set forth herein.
For the purposes of this Plan, “provision of services” includes having services provided by any
method or means by which the City provides municipal services to any other areas of the City,
and may include causing or allowing private utilities, governmental entities and other public
service organizations to provide such services by contract, in whole or in part, and may include
duties on the part of a private landowner with regard to such services.
In addition, in accordance with Section 43.056(g) of the LGC, if before annexation the annexed
area had a lower level of services, infrastructure, and infrastructure maintenance than the same
being provided by the City to other areas within the City limits, this Plan shall be construed to
allow for the provision to the annexed area of a level of services, infrastructure, and
infrastructure maintenance that is comparable to the level of services, infrastructure, and
infrastructure maintenance in other parts of the City with topography, land use, and population
density similar to those reasonably contemplated or projected in the annexed area.
V. SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED UPON ANNEXATION
1. Police Protection –Upon annexation, the Georgetown Police Department will extend

VI. SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED WITHIN 4½ YEARS OF ANNEXATION; CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
PROGRAM
1. In General – The City will initiate the construction of capital improvements necessary
for providing municipal services for the annexation area as necessary for services that
are provided directly by the City.
2. Water and Wastewater Services– Water and wastewater services are only provided to

Attachment number 4 \nPage 4 of 13
Item # N
Annexation Service Plan Madison at Georgetown Section III

apply. The City shall have no obligation to extend water or wastewater service to any
part of the annexed area that is within the service area of another water or wastewater
utility. For annexed areas located within the City’s authorized service areas, the City
shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan, extend water and wastewater
service in accordance with the service extension ordinances, policies, and standards that

of water and wastewater services will be provided in accordance with any applicable
construction and design standards manuals adopted by the City.
3. Water and Wastewater Capital Improvements Schedule – Because of the time required
to design and construct the necessary water and wastewater facilities to serve the
annexed area, certain services cannot be reasonably provided within 2½ years of the
effective date of annexation. Therefore, in accordance with Sections 43.065(b) and (e) of
the LGC, the City shall implement a program, which will be initiated after the effective
date of the annexation and include the acquisition or construction of capital
improvements necessary for providing water and wastewater services to the area. The
following schedule for improvements is proposed: construction will commence within 2
½ years from the effective date of annexation and will be substantially complete within 4
½ years from the effective date of annexation. However, the provisions of Section VII of
this Plan shall apply to the schedule for completion of all capital improvements. In
addition, the acquisition or construction of the improvements shall be accomplished by
purchase, lease, or other contract or by the City succeeding to the powers, duties, assets,
and obligations of a conservation and reclamation district as authorized or required by
law.
4. Roads and Streets – No road or street related capital improvements are necessary at this
time. Future extension of roads or streets and installation of traffic control devices will
be governed by the City’s Comprehensive Plan, the City’s Overall Transportation Plan,
the City’s Capital Improvements Plan; the City’s regular or non-impact fee Capital
Improvements Program, and any applicable City ordinances, policies, and procedures,
which may require that the property owner or developer install roads and streets at the
property owner’s or developer’s expense. It is anticipated that the developer of new
subdivisions in the area will install street lighting in accordance with the City’s standard
policies and procedures. Provision of street lighting will be in accordance with the
City’s street lighting policies.
5. Capital Improvements for Other Municipal Services – No capital improvements are
necessary at this time to provide municipal Police; Fire Protection; Emergency Medical
Services; Solid Waste Collection; Public Parks, Playgrounds, or Swimming Pools; Public
Buildings or Facilities; or Library Services. The annexed area will be included in the
City’s future planning for new or expanded capital improvements and evaluated on the
same basis and in accordance with the same standards as similarly situated areas of the
City.

VII. FORCE MAJEURE AND SCHEDULE EXTENSIONS
1. Certain events, described as Force Majeure Events in this Plan, are those over which the
City has no control. Force Majeure Events shall include, but not be limited to, acts of
God; terrorism or acts of a public enemy; war; blockages; riots; strikes; epidemics; forces
of nature including landslides, lightening, earthquakes, fires, storms, floods, washouts,
droughts, tornadoes, hurricanes; arrest and restraint of government; explosions;
collisions, and all other inabilities of the City, whether similar to those enumerated or
otherwise, which are not within the control of the City. Any deadlines or other
provisions of this Plan that are affected by a Force Majeure Event shall be automatically
extended to account for delays caused by such Force Majeure Event.
2. In accordance with Section 43.056(e) of the LGC, this Plan and the schedules for capital
improvements necessary to provide full municipal services to the annexed area may be
amended by the City to extend the period for construction if the construction is
proceeding with all deliberate speed. The construction of the improvements shall be
accomplished in a continuous process and shall be completed as soon as reasonably
possible, consistent with generally accepted local engineering and architectural
standards and practices. However, the City does not violate this Plan if the construction
process is interrupted for any reason by circumstances beyond the direct control of the
City.
VIII. AMENDMENTS
Pursuant to the provisions of Section 43.056(k) of the LGC, on approval by the City Council, the
Plan is a contractual obligation that is not subject to amendment or repeal except as provided by
state law. Section 43.056(k) of the LGC provides that if the City Council determines, after public
hearings, that changed conditions or subsequent occurrences make the Plan unworkable or
obsolete, the City Council may amend the Plan to conform to the changed conditions or
subsequent occurrences. An amended Plan must provide for services that are comparable to or
better than those established in the Plan before amendment. Before any Plan amendments are
adopted, the City Council must provide an opportunity for interested persons to be heard at
public hearings called and held in the manner provided by Section 43.0561 of the LGC.
IX. FEES

Per the requirements of Section 43.056(e) of the LGC, the following summary is provided
regarding the City’s current service extension policies for water and wastewater service.
Attachment number 4 \nPage 6 of 13
Item # N
Annexation Service Plan Madison at Georgetown Section III
Page 7 of 13
However, this is a summary of the current policies, and the policies and regulations related to
water and wastewater utility extensions that are included in the City Code of Ordinances, the
Unified Development Code, the City’s Construction and Specifications Manual; Drainage
Manual, and other published policies and technical manuals, as the same may be amended from
time to time, shall control the extension of water and wastewater services to the annexed area.
In addition, these policies and ordinances are set by City Council and can be amended in the
future:
1. In General -- The provisions of Chapter 13 of the City’s Unified Development Code
(“UDC”) shall apply in the annexed area and Chapter 13 of the City Code of Ordinances.
Portions of the current Chapter 13 of the UDC and the current Chapter 13 of the Code of
Ordinances are summarized below. Note that these provisions are established by
ordinance of the City Council and are subject to change from time to time.
A. The City shall not repair, maintain, install or provide any water services, wastewater
service, gas, electricity or any other public utilities or services to any property that
has not been legally subdivided or is a non-legal lot.
B. For property that is required by the City’s UDC or other City regulations to construct
water or wastewater facilities, funding and construction of those facilities are the
responsibility of the property owner or developer (the “subdivider”).
C. Subdividers shall be responsible for providing an approved public water supply
system for fire protection and domestic/ commercial/ industrial usage consistent
with the Comprehensive Plan. Where an approved public water supply or
distribution main is within reasonable distance of the subdivision, but in no case less
than one-quarter mile away, and connection to the system is both possible and
permissible (including adequate system capacity), the subdivider shall be required to
bear the cost of connecting the subdivision to such existing water supply. The
subdivider shall, consistent with all existing ordinances, make a pro-rata
contribution to funding of needed storage facilities, treatment facilities, and specific
distribution lines as determined necessary by the City.
D. Subdividers shall be responsible for providing an approved public sanitary sewer
system, consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, throughout the entire subdivision
such that all lots, parcels, or tracts of land will be capable of connecting to the
sanitary sewer system except as otherwise provided herein. Where an approved
public sanitary sewer collection main or outfall line is in no case less than one-half
mile away, and connection to the system is both possible and permissible (including
adequate system capacity), the subdivider shall be required to bear the cost of
connecting the subdivision to such existing sanitary sewer system. Where an
approved public wastewater collection main or outfall line is more than one-half
mile away from the property boundary, and where extension of a sanitary sewer
collection main or outfall line is scheduled in the City’s Capital Improvements Plan
to be completed to a point within one-half mile of the property boundary within five
Attachment number 4 \nPage 7 of 13
Item # N
Annexation Service Plan Madison at Georgetown Section III
Page 8 of 13
(5) years from the date of the Preliminary Plat approval, the subdivider shall be
required to install a public wastewater collection system. The design and
construction of a public sanitary sewer system shall comply with regulations
covering extension of public sanitary sewer systems adopted by the Texas
Commission on Environmental Quality.
E. All infrastructure and public improvements must be designed and installed in
accordance with all of the elements of the Comprehensive Plan and shall meet the
minimum requirements established by the UDC, the City's Construction Standards
and Specifications for Roads, Streets, Structures and Utilities, and any other adopted
City design or technical criteria. No main water line extension shall be less than
eight inches. All new public sanitary sewer systems shall be designed and
constructed to conform with the City’s Construction Standards and Specifications
and to operate on a gravity flow basis by taking advantage of natural topographic
conditions and thereby reducing the need for lift stations and force mains.
2. If the specific undeveloped property does not have City water or wastewater facilities
and capacity fronting the property – the owner may make an application for an
extension of service to the property. If the Assistant City Manager for Utilities
determines in writing that adequate water or wastewater capacity is available, or will be
available, and if the project does not include City cost participation or reimbursement, if
the proposed facilities are depicted on the City’s Water and Wastewater Master Plans,
and the requested service otherwise meets the City’s requirements, the extension size,
capacity, and routing may be approved by the Assistant City Manager for Utilities for
construction by the developer at the developer’s cost and expense.
3. If the specific undeveloped property does have adequate City water or wastewater
facilities and capacity fronting the property – the owner may receive water or
wastewater service from the City by applying for a tap permit and paying the required
fees.
4. If any property in the annexed area is using a septic system – the property owner
remains responsible for the operation and maintenance of the septic system. If the
property is in a Rural Residential Subdivision as defined in Chapter 13 of the UDC, or is
a legal lot greater than one acre in size and used for single family residential purposes,
the property shall continue the use of a septic system after annexation until such time
that the use of the property changes, the property is further subdivided or developed, or
a public sanitary sewer line has been extended to within 200 feet of the property
boundary and the property owner has received notification from the City of the City’s
desire for the property to be connected to the public sanitary sewer line. If the septic
system fails before the City’s centralized wastewater service is extended to within 200
feet of the property and the City determines that the provision of centralized wastewater
service is not feasible or practical at that time, then the property owner must either
repair or replace the septic system in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.20 of
the City Code of Ordinances. Properties using a septic system that are not in a Rural
Attachment number 4 \nPage 8 of 13
Item # N
Annexation Service Plan Madison at Georgetown Section III
Page 9 of 13
Residential Subdivision , or are not legal lots greater than one acre in size and used for
single family residential purposes at the time of annexation, but that are designated as
either residential, open space or agricultural on the City’s Future Land Use Plan shall
continue the use of a septic system until such time that the use of the property changes,
the property is further subdivided or developed, or a public sanitary sewer line has been
extended to within 200 feet of the property boundary and the property owner has
received notification from the City of the City’s desire for the property to be connected
to the public sanitary sewer line.
5. Reimbursement and cost participation by the City – Pursuant to Section 13.09.030 of
the UDC, the City, in its sole discretion and with City Council approval, may participate
with a property owner or developer in the cost of oversized facilities or line extensions.
The actual calculation of the cost participation and reimbursement amounts, including
limits and schedules for the payments, are set forth in the UDC.
6. City Code of Ordinances: (The following provisions are set by the City Council and can
be amended in the future by ordinance.)
Chapter 13.10 of the City Code of Ordinances currently provides as follows:
Section 13.10.010 Policy established.
This policy shall apply to improvements to the City's utility systems, including system upgrades,
system expansion, and plant capacity additions. In this Section, the term “utility system” shall
mean the City’s water system, wastewater system, reuse irrigation system, and stormwater
drainage system.
Section 13.10.020 System Planning.
The City shall maintain and periodically update system plans for each utility so that system
improvements are implemented to maintain adequate capacity for growth while maintaining
proper service levels to existing customers.
Section 13.10.030 Project Timing.
A. Projects designed to expand or upgrade a utility system must be completed and ready
for operations such that capacity requirements by state regulatory agencies and City
system plans are met.
B. When possible, the City should coordinate the construction of system improvements
in a particular location with the expansion or maintenance of other utility
infrastructure to minimize the future impact on each utility.
Attachment number 4 \nPage 9 of 13
Item # N
Annexation Service Plan Madison at Georgetown Section III
Page 10 of 13
C. Projects should begin the design phase when existing demand at a specific location
exceeds 75% of current capacity and future demand is expected to exceed the current
total capacity.
D. Projects should begin the construction phase when existing demand at a specific
location exceeds 90% of current capacity and future demand is expected to exceed the
current total capacity.
E. Projects required to facilitate the development of a specific tract shall be done in
accordance with the Unified Development Code.
F. Projects required as a result of an annexation service plan shall be provided as stated
in the approved Service Plan for such annexed tracts.
Section 13.10.040 Project Financing.
A. Projects required to facilitate the subdivision of a specific tract shall be paid by the
subdivider in accordance with the Unified Development Code, unless otherwise
authorized in writing and approved by the City Council in accordance with the terms
of Section 13.09 of the Unified Development Code or other applicable law.
B. When utility expansion is requested within a portion of the City’s utility service area,
but the City is not otherwise required to provide service or planning to provide
service as reflected in the City’s Capital Improvements Plan, the City may
nonetheless, at the City’s sole option, facilitate the design and construction of the
required utility extensions or upgrades by managing the project with the cost of such
extensions to be shared and fully paid by the requesting landowners or subdividers
prior to commencement of the project.
C. When utility expansion is requested within a portion of the City’s utility service area,
the City shall evaluate degree to which the project 1) facilitates contiguous growth, 2)
maximizes the provision of service to the service area, 3) enhances economic
development, 4) improves system operations, 5) contributes to conservation or other
environmental concern, and 6) facilitates the completion of the utility master plan.
D. At the City’s sole option, the City may also facilitate the installation of utility
expansion requests through 1) financial cost contribution, 2) financing of the
improvement using individual contracts between the City and each landowner for a
proportionate share of the project cost to be paid out over a specified period of time at
a specified rate of interest, 3) Impact Fee or connection fee reduction or waiver.
Chapter 13.20 of the City Code of Ordinances currently provides as follows:
Sec. 13.20.010. General.
A. It is unlawful for any owner or lessee, tenant or other person in possession of any
premises where any person lives or works, or occupies the same, to establish,

and the wastewater collection main has adequate capacity to receive and transport the
wastewater flow produced by the property, then property owner shall connect that
property to said utility line at the earliest to occur of either of the following events:
failure of the On Site Sewage Facility servicing the property, or the date that is five
(5) years after receipt of notice of the availability of a wastewater collection main
within 200-feet of the property line.
C. Failure of On Site Sewage Facility. When an Onsite Sewage Facility fails, the
following provisions shall apply:
a. If a public centralized wastewater collection main is located within 200 feet of
the property boundary, and the wastewater collection main has adequate capacity
to receive and transport the wastewater flow produced by the property, then the
property must be connected to said utility line by the property owner;
b. If no public centralized wastewater collection main is located within 200 feet of
the property boundary, the City shall evaluate the feasibility of providing
centralized wastewater collection services to the property via a gravity or low
pressure system. Where the provision of gravity sewer service or low pressure
system is technically feasible, utility system improvements may be made in
accordance with Chapters 13.10;

Property History
The subject property is currently in the annexation process that will be completed prior to
consideration of the proposed rezoning by the City Council. A Special Use Permit is being
considered simultaneously with the rezoning, by separate agenda item. A Final Plat is
currently processing administratively by separate application.
2030 Plan Conformance
The proposed rezoning is in conformance with the 2030 Plan land use designation of
Employment Center, which is intended for tracts of undeveloped land located at strategic
locations, which are designated for larger scale employment. The overall area incorporates
multiple automotive dealerships creating a larger scale employment and business activity
center.
The 2030 Plan Growth Tier Map designation is Tier 1A; that portion of the city where
infrastructure systems are in place, or can be economically provided and where the bulk of the
city’s growth should be guided over the near term.
Proposed Zoning District
The General Commercial District (C-3) is intended to provide a location for general
commercial and retail activities that serve the entire community and its visitors. The proposed
rezoning is consistent with the area along IH-35 that includes multiple automobile
dealerships.
Utilities
Electric, water, and wastewater are served by the City of Georgetown. It is anticipated that
there is adequate capacity to serve this property either by existing capacity or developer
participation in upgrades to infrastructure.
Transportation
The access to this project is provided by Westinghouse Road to Kelley Drive or from IH-35
frontage road by way of Gateway Drive to Kelley Drive. (See Exhibit 1)
Future Application(s)
The following applications will be required to be submitted:
· Special Use Permit to be considered by Planning and Zoning Commission and City
Council;
· Final Plat to be processed administratively;
· Site Plan to be processed administratively; and
· Building permits for construction.

Staff Analysis
Staff is supportive of the requested rezoning for the following reasons:

increase to the development of a central automotive center use.
2. The existing zoning situation of the surrounding area is primarily C-3 with Special Use
Permits for the automotive use.
3. The surrounding developed uses, include multiple automotive dealerships, a church
campus and a residence, both with large undeveloped land.
Inter Departmental, Governmental and Agency Comments
None
Public Comments
A total of 5 notices were sent out to property owners within 200 feet of the proposed rezoning.
Public notice was posted in the Sun newspaper on May 19, 2013. As of the writing of this
report, no comments have been received.

Staff Analysis
Staff Recommendation and Basis:
This application is being brought forward for a proposed location of Mac Haik Ford Truck
Center. This facility will expand the existing dealership on the west side of Kelley Drive and
provide services for automotive dealership offices, service bays, photo room, parts sales and
storage, car-wash and detail bay.
The requirement for a Special Use Permit is to determine appropriate locations for the
automotive industry to ensure compatibility with surrounding uses and entries into the
community. The proposed use is consistent with automotive uses in this area providing for
the centralization of major automotive sales.
Through the above analysis, staff is supportive of the request and recommends approval
based on the request fully meeting the applicable criteria (below) listed in Section 3.07.030(C.):
C. In addition to the criteria for zoning changes in Section 3.06.020, the City Council may
approve an application for a Special Use Permit where it reasonably determines that
there will be no significant negative impact upon residents of surrounding property or
upon the general public. The City Council may consider the following criteria in its
review:
1. The proposed use is not detrimental to the health, welfare, and safety of the
Attachment number 1 \nPage 2 of 3
Item # R
Planning Department Staff Report
Mac Haik Ford Truck - Special Use Permit Page 3 of 3
surrounding neighborhood or its occupants.
3. The proposed use does not negatively impact existing uses in the area and in the
City through impacts on public infrastructure such as roads, parking facilities and
water and sewer systems, and on public services such as police and fire protection
and solid waste collection, and the ability of existing infrastructure and services to
adequately provide services.
4. The proposed use does not negatively impact existing uses in the area and in the
City through the creation of noise, glare, fumes, dust, smoke, vibration, fire hazard,
or other injurious or noxious impact.
Staff is supportive of the proposed request for a Special Use Permit for all of the reasons
stated.
