Council Meering Date: April 26, 2004 Item No.
AGENDA ITEM COVER SHEET
Executive Session
SUBJECT:
Consideration and possible action to authorize the acquisition of approximately one-half acre out of a 16.755 -
acre tract owned by Joe L. Lykes located at the southeast comer of Airport Road and Berry Creek Drive in
connection with the expansion of the Berry Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant.
ITEM SUMMARY:
The current expansion of the Berry Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant requires the upgrade of an existing lift
station located on Berry Creek Drive. However, the existing lift station site is not large enough to
accommodate the necessary upgrade and has very poor vehicle access. The acquisition of a new, larger site
would allow for the necessary lift station upgrade, as well as improved access directly from Airport Rd. Staff
has had discussions with Mr. Joe L. Lykes concerning the City's prospective acquisition of a portion of his
property located at the southeast comer of Airport Rd. and Berry Creek Drive for construction of the new lift
station, which would allow the decommissioning of the existing lift station on Berry Creek Drive. The
proposed site is down -river from the existing lift station, which would also eliminate the need for a separate
lift station to serve the Villages of Berry Creek.
As part of good faith negotiations, the City employed Larry Kokel of Kokel-Oberrender-Wood Appraisal, Ltd.
("Kokel") to perform an appraisal of the fair market value of the proposed 0.3 acres to be acquired in fee simple
for the lift station site and 0.2 acres for related utility and access easements, as well as the impact of the new
facilities on the property before and after acquisition. The fair market value of the property and easements to
be acquired as determined by Kokel is $20,000.00, with no damages to the remainder as a result of the
acquisition.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that Council authorize staff to extend an offer to purchase the subject property and easements
from Joe L. Lykes in an amount not to exceed the amount established by Council in this Executive Session as
the maximum purchase price, plus related expenses.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funds for this expenditure have been budgeted as part of the Berry Creek W WTP expansion project, account
no. 651-101-6614-00.

• Map of proposed property and easements to be acquired

Re: Complete Appraisal prepared as a Summary Report of 16.755 acres out of the John
Berry Survey, A-51, Williamson County, Texas. The property is located along the
south and east sides of Airport Road (CR 190) across from its intersection with Berry
Creek Drive and Briarcrest Drive in the northern portion of the City of Georgetown in

Dear Mr. Dishong:
As requested, we have conducted an appraisal of the above referenced property. Larry
D. Kokel, ARA, MAI and Michael D. Mays inspected the property on April 12, 2004, which
is the effective date of the appraisal. We have gathered and reviewed the available market
data considered pertinent to the estimation of value of the property appraised.
The purpose of this appraisal is to estimate compensation for the acquisition of 0.3 acre
(13,000 SF) in fee simple interest to be used for a proposed wastewater lift station and 0.2
acre (8,780 SF) in easements out of the above referenced property. Market value is
defined on Page 3 of this report.
Based on our analysis of the data contained in the report, it is the opinion of these
appraisers that the compensation for a fee acquisition of 0.3 acre and an easement
acquisition of 0.2 acre as of April 12, 2004 is:
TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
($20,000)
