Dr. F. N. Stiles, Jr., a veterinarian in Leander, congratulated Council on their plan for regional
water. He distributed copies to the Council. of a brochure about City of Leander bonds passed in
1986 for $4.4 million to have been used for improvements to the waterlines inside the City of
Leander. He expressed concern to the Georgetown Council that the City of Leander may now use
this bond issue to assist in paying for the pipeline. He informed the Georgetown Council that he has
addressed this problem with Leander City officials, and he wanted the Georgetown Council to be
aware of the situation. He asked how much the City of Leander would be charged per 1000
acre/feet.

to discuss costs at this meeting.
BB Mayor, Council, City Manager, and staff comments and reports
• Finance Report on the Public Funds Investment Act
Morgan referenced the report that had been distributed to the Council on the dias. She
emphasized that the Act goes into effect on September 1, 1995, and is a result of the Orange
County investment crisis. Morgan stated that the report requires that government entities
provide a written strategy of investment policies, and reminded Council that their review of
the investment strategies has already been done. Due to the Act, certain kinds of
investments were de -authorized, but the City of Georgetown doesn't participate in that kind
of investment--Tex-Pool and FGIC meet all of the approved criteria. Morgan informed
Council that some transferring would be necessary to meet balancing restrictions. She said
that typically, the City doesn't buy a lot of securities in a year, and that all brokers on their
list will be given a report of the City's investment strategies and limitations. As required by
the new Act, reports will now be done quarterly and specific training will be scheduled to
fulfill the requirements. Morgan told Council that compliance will be under scrutiny by the
City's auditors at an additional fee, and that Georgetown has no problem complying.
Hart notified Council of the TML Region X Meeting in Round Rock on September 29, 1995.

agenda. Hart reported that he has also spoken with Zinsmeyer, that the City has the Pecan
Grove leased and will need to check into the status of that lease.
Due to the presence of two City of Leander Councilmembers in the audience, Wood asked that Item RR be
addressed by Council at this time on the Agenda. Wood stepped down from the dias due to conflict of
interest and turned the gavel over to senior Councilmember Bonner to preside as Mayor. Mayor Pro -Tern
Doris Curl was not in attendance due to the death of a family friend

Hart
Hart told Council that he has communicated with the City of Leander that a contract could be

enter into regional partnership.

resolution. He advised the Georgetown Council that the City of Leander has made all of the
preparation necessary with the Brazos River Authority and others to move forward on this project.
Randy Staudt, Mayor Pro-Tem of Leander, described having read the preliminary contract and
encouraged the Georgetown Council to approve the resolution to address a regional water
partnership.

Tonn recommended that this item be postponed. Morgan explained that the City would lose
$13,000 per unit on discount savings if the units were not purchased at this time. Dean Schumaker,
Sales Representative of the Sutphen Corporation, was introduced. Tonn asked if perhaps this
discount could be further extended. Schumaker asked what length of time was being requested, and
asked for feedback on whether the Council would stand by the staff recommendation if allowed to
extend for financial reasons. Schumaker informed Council that the discounts could perhaps be
extended, but the cost of the units would need to be re -bid if this bid is not accepted. Schumaker
also informed Council that a cost increase was already experienced by Sutphen on August 1.
Arroyos stated that he was comfortable with proceeding with the award of bid. Bonner feels that
the greater portion of the budget should be decided upon before a major purchase of this amount
was made.
Schumaker offered an extension on when the down payment would need to be made, as long as the
contract were signed.
Hart noted to Council that a 5% increase represented $48-49,000 more in the asking price if it
became necessary re -bid.
Motion by Arroyos, second by Vincent to approve the purchase of the two Quint -type fire trucks
for $771,344. Approved 4-2. (Bonner and Tonn opposed)

City Manager
City of Georgetown, Texas

Georgetown, Texas 78627
Dear Mr. Hart:
We are pleased to confirm our understanding of the services we are to provide for the City of Georgetown,
Texas (the "City") for the year ending September 30, 1995. We will audit the general purpose financial
statements, combining statements, individual fund and account group financial statements and schedules of the
City as of and for the year ending September 30, 1995.
Our audit will be conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards; the standards for
financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United
States; the Single Audit Act of 1984; and the provisions of OMB Circular A-128, "Audits of State and Local
Governments, and will include tests of the accounting records of the City and other procedures Nve consider
necessary to enable us to express an unqualified opinion that your general purpose financial statements are
fairly presented, in all material respects, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to
report on the Schedule of Federal Financial Assistance and on the City's compliance with laws and regulations
and its internal controls as required for a Single Audit.
The management of the City is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure. In
fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to asses the expected benefits
and related costs of internal control structure policies and procedures. The objectives of an internal control
structure are to provide management with reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets are safeguarded
against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, that transactions are executed in accordance with
management's authorizations and recorded properly to permit the preparation of general purpose financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that federal financial assistance
programs are managed in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
In planning and performing our audits for the year ended September 30, 1995, we will consider the internal
control structure in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinions on
the City's general purpose financial statements and on its compliance with requirements applicable to major
programs and to report on the internal control structure in accordance with OMB Circular A-128, and not to
provide assurance on the internal control structure.

We will obtain an understanding of the design of the relevant policies and procedures and whether thev have
been placed in operation, and we will assess control risk. Tests of controls may be performed to test the
effectiveness of certain policies and procedures that we consider relevant to preventing and detecting errors and
irregularities that are material to the general purpose financial statements and to preventing and detecting
misstatements resulting from illegal acts and other noncompliance matters that have a direct and material effect
on the general purpose financial statements. (Tests of controls are required only if control risk is assessed
below the maximum level.) Our tests, if performed, will be less in scope than would be necessary to render an
opinion on the internal control structure policies and procedures and, accordingly, no opinion will be expressed.
We will perform tests of controls, as required by OMB Circular A-128, to evaluate the effectiveness of the
design and operation of internal control policies and procedures that we consider relevant to preventing or
detecting material noncompliance with specific requirements, general requirements, and requirements governing
claims for advances and reimbursements and amounts claimed or used for matching that are applicable to each
of the City's major federal financial assistance programs. Our tests will be less in scope than would be
necessary to render an opinion on the internal control structure policies and procedures and, accordingly, no
opinion will be expressed.
We will inform you of any matters involving internal control structure and its operation that we consider to be
reportable conditions under standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
Reportable conditions involve matters coming to our attention relating to significant deficiencies in the design
or operation of the internal control structure that, in our judgment, could adversely affect the entity's ability to
record, process, summarize, and report financial data consistent with the assertions of management in the
general purpose financial statements. We will also inform you of any nonreportable conditions or other matters
involving the internal control structure, if any, as required by OMB Circular A-128.
Compliance with laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements applicable to the City is the responsibility
of the City's management. As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the general purpose
financial statements are free of material misstatement, we will perform tests of the City's compliance with
certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants. However, the objective of our audit will not be to
provide an opinion on overall compliance with such provisions, and we will not express such an opinion.
Our audit will be conducted in accordance with the standards referred to in the second paragraph. Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material
noncompliance with the requirements governing types of services allowed or unallowed, eligibility; matching,
level of effort, or earmarking; reporting; special tests and provisions; claims for advances and reimbursements:
and amounts claimed or used for matching that are applicable to major programs occurred. The purpose of our
audit will be to express an opinion on the City's compliance with the specific requirements applicable to major
programs listed in the previous sentence.

City of Georgetown. Texas
July 26, 1995

We will perform certain procedures to test the City's compliance with the general requirements applicable to its
federal financial assistance programs as required by OMB Circular A-128. Our procedures will be limited to
the applicable procedures described in the OMB's "Compliance Supplement for Single Audits of State and
Local Governments". Our procedures will be substantially less in scope than an audit, the objective of which is
the expression of an opinion on the general requirements, and we will not express such an opinion.
Our procedures will include tests of documentary evidence supporting the transactions recorded in the accounts
and direct confirmation of receivables and certain other assets and liabilities by correspondence with selected
customers, creditors, and banks. We will request written representations from your attorneys as part of the
engagement. At the conclusion of our audit, will also request written representations from you about the
general purpose financial statements and related matters.
An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the general
purpose financial statements; therefore, our audit will involve judgment about the number of transactions to be
examined and the areas to be tested. Also, we will plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the general purpose financial statements are free of material misstatement. As required by the
Single Audit Act of 1984, our audit will include tests of transactions related to federal assistance programs for
compliance with applicable laws and regulations. However, because of the concept of reasonable assurance
and because we will not perform a detailed examination of all transactions, there is a risk that material errors,
irregularities, or illegal acts, including fraud or defalcations, may exist and not be detected by us. We will
inform you, however, of any matters of that nature that come to our attention and will include such matters in
the reports required for a Single Audit.
We understand that you will provide us with the basic information required for our audit and that you are
responsible for the accuracy and completeness of that information. We will advise you about appropriate
accounting principles and their application and will assist in the preparation of your general purpose financial
statements, but the responsibility for the general purpose financial statements remains with you. This
responsibility includes the maintenance of adequate records and related internal control structure, the selection
and application of accounting principles, and the safeguarding of assets. We understand that your employees
will type all confirmations, locate supporting documentation and provide assistance in the preparation of
detailed analyses as requested by us.
Our audit is not specifically designed and cannot be relied on to disclose reportable conditions, that is,
significant deficiencies in the design or operation of the internal control structure. However, during the audit. if
we become aware of such reportable conditions or ways that we believe management practices can be
improved, we will communicate them to you in a separate letter.
We estimate our audit of the general purpose financial statements and the Single Audit will require
approximately 600 professional hours and fees of $30,250. Additionally, we estimate the fees for the
Community Development Block Grant audit to be $750. These estimates are based on anticipated cooperation
from your personnel and the assumption that unexpected circumstances will not be encountered during the
audit. If significant additional time is necessary, we will discuss it with you and arrive at a new fee estimate
before we incur the additional costs. Our invoices will be rendered as work progresses and are payable on
presentation.

SUBJECT: Consideration of a resolution setting a public hearing date for consideration of the
proposed water and wastewater improvement programs for the impact fee study and adoption of
water and wastewater impact fees.
ITEM SUMMARY: Part of the requirements for enacting impact fees is the adoption of water
and wastewater improvement programs. Prior to adopting water and wastewater improvement
programs, it is necessary for a public hearing to be held. According to our consulting attorney
on the project, it is necessary that this public hearing be conducted by the City Council. State
law also requires that notice of public hearing be adopted by resolution of the Council and
published at least thirty days in advance.
To enable us to move forward, we are proposing the adoption of the attached resolution
setting October 24, 1995, which is a regular Council meeting date for the public hearing. Prior
to the public hearing, we will meet with the Impact Fee Advisory Committee to finalize their
recommendations. This will form the basis of the information packet that will be provided to
interested citizens and others concerning this portion of the impact fee statute requirements. A
copy of this will be provided to City Council prior to their meeting of September 26, 1995. The
impact fee advisory committee will meet on this matter on September 21, 1995. In summary,
this item is necessary to comply with State Statute and to keep the project on schedule.

Resolution awarding bid for FY'96 Health Insurance to MetraHealth, Inc. (PPO) and
MetraHealth Care Plans of TX (HMO)
ITEM SUMMARY
The City's current provider for group medical health benefits is Prudential. After an
exhaustive bid process with significant input from City employees, staff recommend that you
award the bid to MetraHealth (formerly Travelers Insurance).
Other bidders included Prudential, Anthem, Scott and White, Blue Cross/Blue Shield,
Humana, PCA, and the Texas Municipal League. Several proposers were easily limited
because of insufficient doctors, price, or limited benefits. The employee Health Benefits
Advisory Committee examined the proposals from Prudential and MetraHealth closely, and
compared benefits, provider lists, and cost. After extensive consultation with employees in
each division, they voted strongly in favor of MetraHealth, due to Metra's larger HMO provider
list, better benefit package, and cheaper cost for the City and the employee.
Employees will have a choice of enrolling in MetraHealth's PPO or HMO.
a
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
In order to ensure continuity of coverage, bid specifications stated that this contract
would be for a 3-year cycle: one year contract with two options for renewal. MetraHealth has
guaranteed us a 5% rate cap on the HMO and an 8% rate cap on the PPO for our FY'97
contribution, as long as we reach a minimum 40% enrollment in the HMO.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
For FY'95, the City paid the equivalent of 100% of the employee -only premium under
the PPO option, plus a $90 subsidy for employees electing to cover their entire family. Annual
total premium (including the employee's share) was approximately $600, 000, and the City paid
approximately $391, 000 of that total premium.
For FY'96, the City will pay the equivalent of 100% of the employee -only premium under
the HMO option (because it is now cheaper than the PPO) plus a $100 subsidy for employees
electing to cover their entire family. The City's cost under MetraHealth will be an estimated
$25,167 lower than under the Prudential bid.

Council approval of Garney Companies Change Order #1 to up -
size the Pecan Branch Wastewater Line, in the amount of $78,119.08
ITEM SUMMARY:
During the process of design of the Pecan Branch Wastewater
line, discussions were held with several land owners about gaining
access -to the wastewater line once it is completed. Because design
was based on Sun. City needs, Reata Trails and some limited
ancillary growth, capacity was not available at City expense.
Discussions with various land owners led -to engineering an increase
in the line capacity for these land areas at an up -sizing expense
to be paid for by the various land owners. This change order is
the result of those discussions and provides wastewater capacity to
areas beyond Serenada along Shell Road. Costs for this up -sizing
will be reimbursed to the City by the using property. Therefore,
staff recommends approval of Change Order #1, based upon the unit
prices as bid for this project.

Re: Hwy. 29 West Traffic Controls at Church Entrances
Dear Sir:
RECEIVED
J U L 2 5 1995
As the deacon in charge of 'Buildings and Grounds" at the Georgetown
Church of Christ, I have been given the responsibility of traffic planning at our
new building site on Hwy. 29. It is my understanding that you are a member
of First Baptist, therefore I'm sure you are aware of the traffic problem that is
going to be created when we all move to that already busy section of highway.
My reason for writing this letter is to solicit your support in approaching
Texas Department of Transportation, to see what measure can be taken to
make the road safer for our members.
Since this section of road is within the corporate limit of the city, I would
hope that you could take the lead in resolving this matter. If I can be of help
please give me a call.
Respec lly,
Don H. Bizzell, P.E.

Council meeting September 12, 1995 Item No.
AGENDA ITEM COVER SHEET
u/
SUBJECT: Second Reading of an ordinance to rezone Stonehedge Subdivision, Section Three, Block J, Lot 31
from Al Agricultural to RS, Residential Single Family or any more restrictive classification.
ITEM SUMMARY: The proposed rezoning area is also the area proposed for a 112 unit apartment complex.
Recently, a detailed development plan was approved for the complex. Since the DDP conforms to all applicable
regulations, it was reviewed and approved administratively. The applicant has submitted building plans which
are currently being reviewed by the Building Inspections staff.
In the Concept Plan for this area accepted in 1984, and the Final Plat approved in 1985, this area is
designated as multifamily residential. The remaining areas are indicated as single family residential and
commercial. Most of the single family residential area has been developed to date, and the commercial has not.
The commercial uses are - adjacent to SH29, the residential uses are in the rear of the subdivision and the
multifamily uses are placed between them, so as to buffer the single family residences from the commercial uses.
The plats approved subsequent to then are based on that design. A new Concept Plan that was presented last year,
but withdrawn, proposes to depart from that design. Assigning an RM-2 zoning classification to the subject area
is consistent with the currently approved plans and plats.
The City has determined that, since the submittal of the first application for the construction of the
apartments has occurred, it is permitted to continue as approved regardless of the zoning district assignment. The
Texas Government Code, Section 481.183, requires,the City to do so. If this requested rezoning to RM-2 is not
approved the apartments can still be constructed, but will be subject to the non -conforming provisions of the
regulations. It is to the applicant's benefit to rezone for at least two (2) reasons. If the complex were destroyed
it could not be rebuilt unless it conformed to the current zoning, and typically, financial institutions will not lend
funds to projects that are not consistent with applicable zoning.
The site has direct access to a collector street (Reinhardt Boulevard) and is adjacent to a major arterial
street (Inner Loop Road). Although the lot is 11.66 acres total, only 6.49 acres are developable due to a large
detention pond on the southern half of the lot. This pond is serving the entire subdivision with the exception of
the commercial uses proposed to front on SH29, which will provide on -site detention.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS: None.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: None
COMMENTS: At its June 6, 1995, meeting the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend
approval of a rezoning of Stonehedge Subdivision, Section Three, Block J, Lot 31 from A, Agricultural to RM-21,
Dense Multifamily.
At its June 27, 19959 meeting, the City Council voted to table this item until the July 25, 1995, meeting.
At its July 25, 1995, meeting, the City Council voted to table this item until the August 22, 1995,
meeting.
At its August 22, 1995, meeting the City Council approved this ordinance for first reading to rezone the
subject area to RS, Residential Single Family and waived the rezoning fees. The original request was for a
rezoning to RM-2, Dense Multifamily; however, the original plans for the apartment complex to be constructed
at the location have been withdrawn and a plat proposing single family residential lots is currently being reviewed
by City staff.

Project # RZ 95-09/Fi1e:STNHDG3.REZ
Page 1
HISTORY: The Concept Plan for Stonehedge Subdivision was reviewed and
accepted by the City in May, 1984. At that time, Concept Plans
were considered accepted rather than approved. Sections One
and Two were recorded in October, 1985. Section Three was
recorded in February, 1986.
The City Council initiated an annexation of Stonehedge Sections
One, Two and Three, and an area which was submitted for
approval as a Concept Plan of Churchill Farms on March 28,
1995. The two (2) public hearings have already occurred and
the first and second readings of the ordinance to annex the area
will occur on June 13, 1995, and June 27, 1995, respectively.
The ordinance shall become effective on July 12, 1995. Upon
annexation, the area is automatically assigned an A, agricultural
zoning district classification. The rezoning ordinance will take
effect July 26, 1995.
ANALYSIS: The proposed rezoning area is also the area proposed for a 112
unit apartment complex. Recently, a detailed development plan
was approved for the complex. Since the DDP conforms to all
applicable regulations, it was reviewed and approved
administratively. The applicant has submitted building plans
which are currently being reviewed by the Building Inspections
staff.
In the Concept Plan accepted in 1984, and the Final Plat
approved in 1985, this area is designated as multifamily
residential. The remaining areas are indicated as single family
residential and commercial. Most of the single family residential
area has been developed to date, and the commercial has not. In
the Concept Plan accepted in 1984, the desired stepping -down of
uses was proposed. SEE EXHIBIT C The commercial uses are
adjacent to SH29, the residential uses are in the rear of the
subdivision and the multifamily uses are placed between them,
so as to buffer the single family residences from the commercial
uses. The plats approved subsequent to then are based on that
design. The new Concept Plan that was presented last year, but
withdrawn, proposes to depart from that design. Assigning an
RM-2 zoning classification to the subject area is consistent with
the currently approved plans and plats.

Project # RZ 95-09/File:STNHDG3.REZ
September 6, 1995
Page 2
Until about three (3) years ago the subdivision remained vacant.
In the short time since then many residences have been built in
Sections One and Two. There was substantial opposition to the
apartments from the residents of those sections. It is perhaps
this opposition that led to the request for annexation. The City
has determined that, since the submittal of the first application
for the construction of the apartments has occurred, it is
permitted to continue as approved regardless of the zoning
district assignment. The Texas Government Code, Section
481.183, requires the City to do so. If this requested rezoning
to RM-2 is not approved the apartments can still be constructed,
but will be subject to the non -conforming provisions of the
regulations. It is to the applicant's benefit to rezone for at least
two (2) reasons. If the complex were destroyed it could not be
rebuilt unless it conformed to the current zoning, and typically,
financial institutions will not lend funds to projects that are not
consistent with applicable zoning.
The site has direct access to a collector street (Reinhardt
Boulevard) and is adjacent to a major arterial street (Inner Loop
Road). It is probable that there will be some single family
residences between this site and SH29 to the north based on the
revised Concept Plan that was submitted for staff reviews but
has not been forwarded to the Commission or City Council.
Although the lot is 11.66 acres total, only 6.49 acres are
developable due to a large detention pond on the southern half of
the lot. This pond is serving the entire subdivision with the
exception of the future commercial uses fronting on SH29,
which will provide on -site detention. As demonstrated in the
DDP filed for the apartment complex, the applicant proposes to
construct nearly all of the units allowed by the Century Plan,
112 out of an allowed 120. Should the lot be resubdivided for
single family residential usage instead, the most units possible
are 47 when applying the minimum lot size requirement. The
Century Plan allows up to 65 single family detached residential
units for this lot. Therefore, the use of this lot for multifamily
residential is the most efficient use of the densities allowed by
the Century Plan, which was based on the Concept Plan.

Fee Waiver: The applicant requests a waiver of the $250 application fee since
this is the first rezoning request subsequent to the initial zoning
assignment upon annexation. The City Council will consider this
waiver request.
STAFF RECOAIM ENDATION:

Council meeting September 12, 1995 Item No. X
AGENDA ITEM COVER SHEET
SUBJECT: Second Reading of an ordinance to rezone Stonehedge Subdivision, Sections One and
Two from A, Agricultural to RS, Residential Single Family.
ITEM SUMMARY: This is a portion of the Churchill Farms currently under consideration for
annexation by the City Council. The area comprises 302 single family residential lots.
Approximately one-half (1/2) of these lots are built upon, and if the current rate of new home
construction in the subdivision continues, it should be built out very soon.
Section 1.205 of the Zoning Ordinance requires that all property annexed into the City
of Georgetown be assigned the A, Agricultural zoning district unless otherwise requested and
approved by the City. As described above, this property is platted for single family residential
use and is nearly one-half built out for that purpose. It does not seem reasonable, therefore, to
annex this property into a non -conforming status. Further, there are a large number of different
property owners in the area, which would likely result in a piecemeal rezoning of the area, if it
occurred at all. For those reasons, on May 9, 1995, the City Council recommended that this
rezoning be initiated in accordance with Section 14.1 of the Zoning Ordinance.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS: None.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: None
COMMENTS: At its June 6, 1995, meeting the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5-0
to recommend approval of a rezoning of Stonehedge Subdivision, Sections One and Two from
A, Agricultural to RS, Residential Single Family.
At its June 27, 1995, meeting, the City Council voted to table this item until the July 25,
1995, meeting.
At its July 25, 1995, meeting, the City Council voted to table this item until the August
22, 1995, meeting.
At its August 22, 1995, meeting the City Council approved this ordinance for first reading
and waived the rezoning fees.

RZ 95-11/File:STNHGI&2.REZ Page 1
HISTORY: The Concept Plan for Stonehedge Subdivision was reviewed and
accepted by the City in May, 1984. At that time, Concept Plans
• were considered accepted rather than approved. Sections One
and Two were recorded in October, 1985. Section Three was
recorded in February, 1986.
ANALYSIS: This is a portion of the Churchill Farms currently under
consideration for annexation by the City Council. The area
comprises 302 single family residential lots. Approximately one-
half (1/2) of these lots are built upon, and if the current rate of
new home construction in the subdivision continues, it should be
built out very soon.
Section 1.205 of the Zoning Ordinance requires that all property
annexed into the City of Georgetown be assigned the A,
Agricultural zoning district unless otherwise requested and
approved by the City. As described above, this property is
platted for single family residential use and is nearly one-half

therefore, to annex this property into a non -conforming status.
Further, there are a large number of different property owners in
the area, which would likely result in a piecemeal rezoning of
the area, if it occurred at all. For those reasons, the City
initiated this rezoning in accordance with Section 14.1 of the
Zoning Ordinance.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of a rezoning of Stonehedge Subdivision, Sections One
and Two from A, Agricultural to RS, Residential Single Family.
P & Z ACTION: At its June 6, 1995, meeting the Planning and Zoning
Commission voted 5-0 to approve a rezoning of Stonehedge
Subdivision, Sections One and Two from A, Agricultural to RS,

AGENDA ITEM COVER SHEET
SUBJECT
An Ordinance to require the Municipal Court Judge, that is appointed by City Council, to set the
minimum fine amounts for Class "C" Misdemeanors falling within the Municipal Court's jurisdiction.
Second Reading.
ITEM SUMMARY
The minimum fine schedule sets the base amounts that become due upon violations that fall within
the jurisdiction of the Municipal Court. The current minimum fine schedule has not changed since
before 1988. State taxes have been increased several times since then, but we have not increased
the fine amounts, which are retained by the City. There is currently no ordinance to require the Judge
to set the minimum fine schedule. Staff will continually gather information on fine schedules from
other cities to provide information to the Judge, so that the minimum fines charged in Georgetown will
be similar to comparable, cities.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
FINANCIAL IMPACT
A new Tine schedule is expected to be in place by October 1, 1995. This should increase the fine
revenue to the City, which is part of the revenues in the General Fund.

Council meetingSeptember 11 1 S v 995 Item No.
AGENDA ITEM COVER SHEET
SUBJECT: Second Reading of an Ordinance adopting revisions to the City's Subdivision
Regulations
ITEM SUMMARY: The Planning and Zoning Commission has recommended two (2) revisions
to the Subdivision Regulations that they feel need to be addressed at this time rather than wait
until the regular three (3) year review of the regulations. The revisions address park land
dedication for alternate form final plats and encroachments into the side setback for the driveway
to a side entry garage. The Commission held a public hearing at their regular meeting of August
1, 1995. There were no comments regarding these revisions.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS: None.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: In at least two (2) recent cases, short form final plats for multifamily
developments have been approved. Because of the way the ordinance is currently worded, it was
determined that park land dedication fees could not be collected on short form final plats. Nearly
$60,000 in park land dedication fees could not be collected from those two (2) subdivisions under
the current provisions. The proposed revision will ensure that future short form final plats do
pay the park land dedication fee.
COMMENTS: As stated above, the Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing
on these proposed revisions and has recommended that they be approved.
This ordinance was approved by the City Council on first reading on August 22, 1995.

AGENDA ITEM COVER SHEET
SUBJECT: Provide guidance related to revisions to the Zoning Ordinance to allow model homes
in the "R" zoning districts, and to allow a model home to operate at 1000 Woodview Drive
specifically
ITEM SUNEVIARY: At the August 1, 1995, meeting of the Sign Review Board, the Board
considered and denied a request for a variance to the sign standards for a model home sign to
be located on a residential lot. During the discussion,_ the Board asked staff to reconsider current
policy that allows model homes to be located in residential areas under specified conditions. In
an effort to accommodate the growth that has occurred in Georgetown, staff has allowed model
homes to operate in residential areas with a temporary certificate of occupancy and provided
there are- no changes to the structure that would preclude its future use as a residence. Model
homes are not specifically .permitted by right in the "R" zoning districts.
The Board was also concerned about the location of a model home on the lot that was the
subject of the sign variance. This lot is located at 1000 Woodview Drive in the Thousand Oaks
Subdivision. The property is zoned RS, Residential Single Family. The property to the east,
along Leander Road is zoned C-1, Local Commercial, and RM-1, Multifamily zoning exists
north of Leander Road. Further, this lot is the only single family residential lot in the Thousand
Oaks Subdivision that has frontage on Leander Road, a major arterial. The property owner,
Buffington Homes, requested their permit on May 9, 1995, and notified the City's Building
Inspections Department at that time that they intended to use this property as a model home for
a period of 12 to 18 months. The Building Inspections Department has worked with this home
builder during the construction of the home with the understanding that it will operate as a model
home under the policy that is currently in place. At this time, the home has had its final
inspection and received a temporary certificate of occupancy to operate as a model home.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS: Attached is a petition signed by residents of the Thousand
Oaks Subdivision asking that the model home not be permitted to open and operate at 1000
Woodview Drive. Staff has also attached an exhibit which illustrates the location of the petition
signatories.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: None.
COMMENTS: Staff presented this issue to the Planning and Zoning Commission at their
meeting of September 5, 1995. The Commission chose not to make a recommendation regarding
the operation of the model home at 1000 Woodview Drive. They did discuss the staff
recommendations regarding the revision to the Zoning Ordinance to permit model homes.
Further discussion of this issue will occur at the October Commission meeting.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: To permit the model home at 1000 Woodview to operate for
a period of 12 months. No other model homes will be permitted within the City limits until the
Zoning Ordinance revision is approved by the City Council.
If the Council has specific recommendations to be included in the Zoning Ordinance,
those recommendations could be discussed at this time as well.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning and Zoning Commission/Sign Review Board Members
FROM: Hildy L. Kingma, AICP - Chief Planner r
,
DATE: August 31, 1995
SUBJECT: Proposal for Resolution of Model Home Concerns
At the August 1, 1995, meeting of the Sign Review Board, the Board considered and
denied a request for a variance to the sign standards for a model home sign to be located on a
residential lot. During the discussion, the Sign Review Board asked staff to reconsider current
policy that allows model homes to be located in residential areas under specified conditions. This
memo describes the actions that staff intends to take with regard to the Board's concerns about
model homes.
Staff proposes to prepare revisions to the Zoning Ordinance that will allow model homes
to be located in all the "R" zoning districts under specified conditions. Following are some of
the conditions that are being considered for this revision. These conditions include those
currently used (*), as well as some additional conditions proposed by the Sign Review Board
during the discussion on August 1.
* 1. The space used for the sales office shall not be altered such that it cannot be converted
to its typical purpose in a single family home. For example, if the garage is to be used
as a sales office, there must be other provisions made to accommodate the required two
(2) parking spaces outside the front building setback.
* 2. The Building Inspections Services Department shall issue a temporary certificate of
occupancy for a limited period during which the sales office may operate. This period
may either be established by the ordinance or be negotiated between the Building Official
and the occupant. [What would be a reasonable time limit?]
3. If the model home violates any other City ordinance, the temporary certificate of
occupancy may be revoked.
4. The model home shall be located within the subdivision being developed. [Some
discussion should occur regarding this point. Should this strictly be the subdivision, or
is it appropriate to allow model homes to be located within a larger neighborhood? If
allowed within the neighborhood, define what constitutes a neighborhood. If limited to
the subdivision, will that be further limited to the section or phase of a larger subdivision
being developed?]
5. Consider establishing a limit on the number of model homes that will be permitted at
any time within one subdivision/neighborhood. [What is the Commission's
recommendation regarding this limit?]
The Planning and Zoning Commission should provide input to these conditions to assist
staff in preparing a Zoning Ordinance revision for consideration at the October meeting.
The Board was also concerned about the location of a model home on the lot that was the
subject of the sign variance. This lot is located at 1000 Woodview Drive (Thousand Oaks
Subdivision, Lot 1, Block 1). The property is zoned RS, Residential Single Family, although
C-1, Local Commercial, zoning exists to the east, and RM-1, Multifamily, exists north of
Leander Road. Further, this lot is the only one in the Thousand Oaks subdivision that has
frontage on Leander Road, a major arterial. The property owner, Buffington Homes, requested
their permit on May 9, 1995. At that time, they notified the City's Building Inspections
Department that they intended to use this property as a model home for a period of 12 to 18
months. The Building Inspections Department has worked with this home builder during the
construction of the home with the understanding that it will operate as a model home under the
policy that is currently in place. At this time, the construction of the home is nearly complete.
Given this history, staff recommends at this time that the model home on this lot be allowed to
open and operate for an 12 month period of time. No other model home will be permitted within
the City limits, however, until the Zoning Ordinance revision described above is approved by the
City Council.
Staff requests that the Planning and Zoning Commission make a recommendation
regarding this issue that will be brought to the City Council at their meeting of September 12,
1995. Please note the petition that has been received (attached) that addresses this issue.

Mr. Ed Berry

Georgetown, Texas 78627
Dear Mr. Berry,
Thomas H. Casey
214 Rockcrest Drive
Georgetown, Texas 78628
AT 2 8 1995 �I
►H
Attached you will find copies of a petitions (six pages) that have been signed
by the residents of the Thousand Oaks Sub -division, indicating their direct
opposition to your departments granting of a permit to Buffington Homes
for purpose of allowing a Single Family Dwelling to be used as a Commercial
Sales Office.
Outside of the dwelling, to which we are opposed as being used as a
commercial office, Buffington Homes has no other homes for sale within
the Thousand Oaks Sub -division nor do they own any lots within the sub-
division on which to build new homes. It is our understanding that the lot
on which this dwelling has been built is zoned as "RS 1," whereby no
commercial activity is allowed to exist. We also believe that in order for a
dwelling to be classified as a "Model Home" that it should have commonality
with the other homes being sold and physically located in the same
Sub -Division. However, the Planning and Zoning Department of the City
of Georgetown has granted to Buffington Homes a permit to utilize the
subject dwelling as Model Home which has absolutely no commonality with
the Thousand Oaks Sub -division in which it is built. By utilizing this
dwelling as a sales office to sell properties outside of the platted bounds of
the Sub -Division Buffington Homes is representing themselves as a Real
Estate Office, no different than Coldwell Banker, Century 21, etc.
Would the Planning and Zoning Department grant a permit for a Realtor
to build a Single Family Dwelling in a residential neighborhood and use it for
an undetermined period time as a Sales Office without first having the
property zoned as commercial? If the answer is no, then what is the
justification for allowing Buffington Homes to utilize this dwelling to sell
homes located in every part of town except within the Sub -Division in which
the office is located? Where is the difference? What ordinance allowed for
the issuance of this permit to Buffington Homes?
The residents whose signatures appear on the attached petitions represent a
significant percentage of the households in Thousand Oaks Sub -Division, all
of whom are admittedly opposed to the action taken by the Planning and
Zoning Department's issuance of this permit. We feel that the City has
violated it's own zoning ordinances by allowing the use of the subject
dwelling to become a Commercial Office within a residential neighborhood
zoned as RS 1. All of which was done without any pubic notice or hearing.
Nor was Buffington Homes ever made to seek a variance to the current
zoning ordinance.
A vast majority of the signers of this petitions wanted to know about the
sidewalk that was built around the perimeter of the subject Buffington
Home. Since it has been the policy of the City of Georgetown, Planning
and Zoning Department not to allow variances for sidewalks within the
Thousand Oaks Sub -Division, why and how did Buffington Homes gain
an exception to the binding covenant regarding this matter? If this is
allowed to stand can the residents of Thousand Oaks Sub -division expect
to see construction by Buffington Homes or the City of Georgetown to begin
within the near future to provide sidewalks throughout the neighborhood?
The residents of Thousand Oaks Sub -Division feels that the City of
Georgetown, Planning and Zoning Department has been lured into making a
sizable error in this matter. We feel that the Law has been clearly broken
and our rights have been violated, and that the City of Georgetown should
revoke the permit that was issued allowing this dwelling to be used for the
purpose of housing a commercial enterprise or postpone Buffington Homes
use of the same until a public hearing can be held.
If your department indicates that it is too late, whereby refusing to revoke
the permit you have granted or hold a public hearing for the review of such,

Item No.
AGENDA ITEM COVER SHEET
SUBJECT
Amendment to increase rates in the collection and disposal of solid waste contract with
Longhorn Disposal.
ITEM SUMMARY
Longhorn has requested, after negotiation, a $0.25 per resident, per month, rate increase and
a three percent (3%) rate increase on commercial and roll -off rates. The justification for the
increase is a 3.1 % rise in the cost of labor, parts, tires, fuel, and insurance. Disposal costs
have also increased 6%, but this translates to a 1.2% increase to the overall solid waste cost.
Twenty percent of Longhorn's cost is disposal; therefore, this results in only the 1.2%
increase'.
The last rate increase given Longhorn was in February, 1994, which was a total of $0.60. Fifty
cents ($0.50) was for operations and ten cents ($0.10) was for recycling services.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
None
FINANCIAL IMPACT
These rates will be passed through to the City's solid waste customers.

Mr. Bob Hart
City Manager
City of Georgetown
P. O. Box 409
Georgetown, Texas 78627-0409
Dear Mr. Hart:
A Waste Management Company
We wrote you before you started your budget preparations for your next fiscal year and indicated that
we were -anticipating a solid waste rate increase of approximately five percent. After reviewing the
latest consumer price index (CPI) numbers and looking at the other operational factors that drive our
cost we can by this letter give you a specific percentage we are asking you and the city council to
approve.
We realize that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) is not apart of our contract with the City of
Georgetown, however it is a well recognized statistic for documenting how much cost have increased.
During the last 12 months the CPI has increased by 3.1 percent. Items included in the CPI are such
things as parts, tires, fuel and insurance. Labor cost have also risen for us because we have to pay the
going rate to get good employees. Additionally, the rate we pay for disposal at the Williamson County
Landfill has increased by 6 percent. Twenty percent of our cost is disposal, so the 6 percent increase
translates to a 1.2 percent increase in disposal rates for garbage picked up in the city. Combined, the
cost for us to do business in Georgetown has increased by 4.3 percent.
We are always looking for ways to do buiness smarter and have worked to hold our cost down in the
past year, as we are sure you have in making the City of Georgetown work. We do not like to raise
prices but when cost go up and we are not able to take further cost cutting measures that is the only
way we can recover our cost.
Considering all of these factors, and anticipating that we can make some further reductions in our cost
in Georgetown we propose an increase of 3.24 percent or $0.25 per house. Commercial rates would
be increased by 3 percent and roll -off haul rates be increased by 3 percent. Roll -off disposal rates
would not increase unless the disposal rate is increased during the year by the Williamson County
Commissioners Court.
We will be happy to meet with you and discuss our proposal at your convenience. Please let us know
how you would like to proceed.
Sincerely,
John M. Albert
Division President and General Manager

AGENDA ITEM COVER SHEET
SUBJECT
An Ordinance amending the 1994/95 Annual Operating Plan Element (budget) to offset variances in various fund
budgets for increases in expenditures that are tied to service requests or revenue collection rates, to properly
account for grant expenditures, and to reclass expenditures between funds. First Reading.
ITEM SUMMARY
Expenditure items within the Annual Operating Plan are based on service demands or revenue collections. As
a result of the improving economy in the Georgetown area, the expenditures of the Sanitation Fund are greater
than anticipated. This increase includes contract expenses and transfers to the General Fund totaling $14,000,
offset by increases in revenue. There is no effect on the working capital of the fund.
A budget amendment is needed in the Airport Fund to properly account for a federal grant received. This budget
amendment will increase Buildings & Improvements by $62,000 and be offset- by $62,000 of grant revenue.
There is no net effect on the working capital of the fund.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
The City Charter requires that a majority plus one must approve an amendment to the approved budget.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The budget amendment will be incorporated with the previously approved budget.

First Reading of an ordinance amending the fuel flowage fee rates charged at the Georgetown
Municipal Airport.
ITEM SUMMARY

in the past, this rate change will increase Airport revenues approximately $3,300.00 per year.
The cost to Gantt Aviation and Georgetown Jet Center is approximately $1,650.00 each per
year.
