Minutes
Regular Meeting -
Mr. William Maples called the regular GTAB Board meeting to order on Friday, July 12, 2013 at 10:00 AM.
Board may, at any time, recess the Regular Session to convene in Executive Session at the request of the
Chair, a Board Member, the City Manager, Assistant City Manager, General Manager of Utilities, City
Council Member, or legal counsel for any purpose authorized by the Open Meetings Act, Texas
Government Code Chapter 551, and are subject to action in the Regular Session that follows.
1. STAFF BOARD COMMENTS/QUESTIONS:
(This is a short informational time regarding items where specific actions are not requested or needed
A. Introduction of Visitors
B. Industry/CAMPO/TxDOT Updates: The Special Legislature session has a transportation bill that
would require an election to spend some of the rain day funds and some of the additional capital funds
for transportation improvements. That is a significant change from all of the different funding scenarios
that was in the original session. There does not appear to be any other funding sources except having this
election to spend the rainy day funds. Looks like this will get through the House but not sure where it is
at in the Senate.
CAMPO - Still working on the 2040 plan. In the process of approving the functional classification of the
roadway network for the Region.
C. Project Progress Reports
D. Airport Updates
(This is for specific action items considered by the Board — greater than $50,000 in value)
E. Review and possible action to approve the minutes from the Regular GTAB Board meeting
held on June 14, 2013 — Jana Kern
Motion by Jonrowe, seconded by Armour to approve minutes as presented. Approved 8-0 (Anderson
absent)
F. Consideration and possible recommendation to award a Construction Contract to Westar
Construction, Inc., of Georgetown, Texas, for the construction of the Safe Routes to School Sidewalk
Improvements Project (serving Mitchell Elementary School) in the amount of $ $398,537.60; the award
is contingent upon concurrence of the bids and contractor by the Texas Department of Transportation.
Bill Dryden & Ed Polasek
Dryden explained the item. Informed the Board that staff has received the concurrence letter from
TxDOT authorizing the City to proceed with contract execution with Westar Construction, Inc.
Motion by Hunt, seconded by Jonrowe to award contract. Approved 8 -0 (Anderson absent)
G. Discussion and possible recommendation regarding an Interlocal Agreement with Capital Metro to
provide demand response transit services utilizing Federal Transit Administration Section 5307
funding and local match in an amount not to exceed $157,300. - Ed Polasek and Micki Rundell
Polasek gave the Board a brief history of the transit services for the City of Georgetown. Since 2011
staff has been presented alternative programs related to transit and what could happen with the services
currently provided by CARTS as we transition from rural area to large urban. What we know for certain
is that the City of Georgetown is part of the Austin Large Urban Area. Capital Metro is the Urban
provider for transit services and administrator /designated recipient of Federal transit funds in our new
region. CARTS can no longer serve demand response service to the City using Federal 5310 rural area
funding. In F/Y 2013 the provided CARTS $30,000.00 to match the 5310 Rural Area Funding. This paid
for hourly operations only, not the cost of capital equipment and additional overhead covered by CARTS.
The cost to replace that service, following Urban Area 5307 funding parameters is anticipated to start at
$150,100.00 annually. Motion by Jonrowe, seconded by Armour to approve an Interlocal Agreement
with Capital Metro. Approved 8 -0 (Anderson absent)
III. STRATEGIC PLANNING /ISSUES:
H. Report of the proposed County Bond Program and how it relates to the City of Georgetown Bond
Program. - Ed Polasek and Micki Rundell
Polasek updated the Board on the Bond Program. See the attached 2013 Bond Priority List.
