Regular Meeting
REVISED
Mr. William Maples called the Special GTAB Board meeting to order on Wednesday, August 21, 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, 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.
I. LEGISLATIVE REGULAR AGENDA:
A. Discussion and possible recommendation to City Council regarding how City of Georgetown
membership will affect the Passenger Rail/Freight Rail National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) process and related studies of the Lone Star Rail District. -- Ed Polasek
Polasek stated that the Lone Star Rail District is in the process of selecting a firm to complete the
environmental process for the Lone Star Rail Project. This will include an analysis of the Rail Relocation
for Union Pacific and establishment of Passenger Rail on the existing Union Pacific Line. The Rail District
has budgeted $3 million dollars in FY ‘12 and appears to have carried over this amount in FY ’13.
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has determined that they will be the lead agency for the
Lone Star project. The project has also been identified as an "Administrator's Priority" project, so the
Lone Star Rail process is being fast-tracked. The LSRD Board expects to select a consultant for the NEPA
(National Environmental Policy Act) scoping process in September or October. Scoping for the EIS
process will begin at that time.
Agencies can no presuppose an outcome of an EIS process. However, member jurisdictions will be
involved in the scoping and definition of alternatives for the EIS process. Again, the Rail District Board
cannot go into the project assuming the Round Rock to Georgetown connection will be the selected
alternative. However, if the City is not involved in the project, the Board may start with the route to
Taylor, or stop the line at the last station in Travis County, or go into Round Rock only if they chose to
become a member as the Locally Preferred Alternative. They may still choose to study the Georgetown
connection, but it will not be priority. Also, there will be coordination with the Texas to Oklahoma Rail
Study by TxDOT that will take place through this EIS process. The Texas to Oklahoma study will be
looking for an alternative to go North of the Lone Star route. Through this study and the environmental
process alternative routes through Williamson County will be analyzed to continue the project North.
If the City decides to enter at a later date, we may be responsible for all the EIS study cost to bring the
Georgetown Route into the process.
Motion by Armour, seconded by Hunt that "The Georgetown Transportation Advisory Board
recommends that City Council reconsider membership in the Lone Star Rail District, as
continuing membership through the Environmental Process that will afford the City the
opportunity to:
A. Provide Direct input into the Scoping process of the EIS;
B. Environmental process would Federally clear corridor for range of transit/transportation
options (e.g. eligible for future Federal Funding);
C. Supports City of Georgetown Transportation Planning Goals;
D. This recommendation does not necessarily extend to funding construction/operations of
the Lone Star Rail project; however, it affords the GTAB Board time to continue studying
the Lone Star/Transit Options as directed by City Council on July 9. 2013, while pursuing
environmental clearances; and
E. Continued membership is an annual budget decision.”
Approved 8-1 (Hesser against)

I. 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 Updated: LEGISLATURE: On Monday, August 5
th
, the Texas Legislature
approved a Constitutional Amendment that would boost transportation spending by $1.2B per year.
The joint resolution called for the proposed amendment to go to the voters for November 2014 ballot.
It does not involve an increase of any tax rates. Rather, funding will come from half of the revenue from
the state's oil and gas severance tax currently allocated for the “rainy -day fund.”
This increase is an important step toward finding the $4B per year Texas needs to build and repair roads.
TxDOT: City forces are working within TxDOT’s guidance to connect the sidewalk and crosswalk across
Southeast Inner Loop at University Drive (SH29). Upon Completion, TxDOT will activate the pedestrian
crossing signals along University Drive.
C. Project Progress Reports
D. Airport Updates
E. Lalena Parkhurst - regarding the Lone Star Rail District
II. LEGISLATIVE REGULAR AGENDA:
(This is for specific action items considered by the Board – greater than $50,000 in value)
F. Review and possible action to approve the minutes from the Regular GTAB Board meeting
held on July 12, 2013 – Jana Kern
Motion by Jonrowe, seconded by Pettitt to approve minutes as presented. Approved 8-0
G. Consideration and possible recommendation to award a contract to Cholla Pavement
Maintenance, of Apache Junction, Arizona, for single course surface treatment on streets
identified in the Pavement Management Program for $444,152.54 – Mark Miller and Ed Polasek
Miller explained that these roads were originally identified and scheduled for micro-surface in the last
pavement evaluation study. The contract was discontinued in the Fall of 2012 when the micro-surface
product was deemed unsatisfactory. The plan and specifications were changed to use the chip seal
process on these streets.
City staff worked with engineers to specify a premium oil and aggregate combination providing and
acceptable finished product. Motion by Hunt, seconded by Jonrowe to award contract to Cholla
Pavement Maintenance. Approved 8-0
H. Review and possible recommendation regarding the Georgetown Airport Business
Case Analysis.- Ed Polasek and Jim Briggs
Briggs reviewed and explained the analysis to the board. Full discussion is available upon request.
Citizens signed up to speak:
Naomi Zucker - "My names is Naomi Zucker. My husband, Mike and I lease Hangar "A" from the City of
Georgetown. We started working on the Georgetown Airport in the early 1980's. For awhile, we also
leased a small house on Terminal Road in the 1990's. Mike and I both hope we can keep Betty Jo Patterson
at he airport. Since she was hired as an administrative assistant, airport managers have received mush
needed competent help, and the airport had been running smoothly. Betty Jo is competent, professional,
and a joy to work with. She's not a nine to fiver-er, often working overtime to get her job done. Betty Jo
answers questions promptly and accurately and gladly researches material if we ask something that's not
part of her job description."
Mike Zucker - "My wife, Naomi, and I want to note that it has been suggested several times that we
encourage the opening of a restraint on the field. There's a good vacant land available behind the airport's
fence along Airport Road.
We had our rent raised 10% in October 2010 and another 10% in January 2013. That's a big total increase
in about 27 months. Another large increase would be hard to pass on to our tenants in 2013, 2014 or 2015.
We hope there will not be an increase until 2016.

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

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.

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

F. Consideration and possible recommendation to approve a contract with Smith Contracting
Co., Inc., of Austin Texas, for the 2011-2012 Streets and Drainage CIP (Reconstruction and
Rehabilitation) for the base bid of $458,573.15 plus an alternate bid of $108,538.00 in the

Miller stated that this contract is for the rehabilitation/reconstruction portion of the 11/12 Streets
and Drainage CIP. This work will consist of approximately 5,000 linear feet of curb, 1,400 square
yards of hot mix, and 3,000 square yards of roadway reconstruction. The extend of the work on
each street will vary depending on the current condition of the roadway. Staff also added utility

11~12 STREETS DRAINAGE CIP.pdf11~12 STREETS DRAINAGE CIP.pdf
Motion by Meigs, seconded by Jonrowe to approve contract . Approved 8-0 (H'Luz absent)
G. Discussion and possible action concerning amending the 2011-2012 Street Drainage CIP Project
Task Order SBE-12-002 to include the preparation of plans and construction administration for
a one course surface application on Identified City Streets (remainder of microsurface
contract). Mark Miller and Ed Polasek
Miller explained to the board that a contract for microsurface was approved in last year’s
budget. The process has been used successfully in Georgetown for many years. In November
of 2012 the contract was stopped when residents and City staff were not satisfied with the
product’s aesthetics. A staff investigation revealed a noticeable drop in the quality of finish in
the microsurface industry. Reasons for the drop in quality include, different oil, qualified labor
issues, different rock. The contractor felt like they could not reproduce the quality of work
performed in the past and they could not meet the City’s expectations. For this reason, it was
mutually agreed to terminate the contract.
Staff is requesting Steger Bizzell to perform the necessary engineering services related to the
application of a one course surface treatment. Traditionally chip seal has not always had the
best reputation due to issues ranging from “Bleeding, Peeling, Noise, Dust and Aesthetics”.
Advancements in the industry have changed the way this treatment is viewed. We are
specifying HFRS 2P oil with a grade 5 Uvalde Trap rock. This oil has been used by the City for
over 20 years and has never bled. The Uvalde stone is expensive, but is extremely hard and
has a natural asphalt black color. The final product closely resembles asphalt and the color
will not fade like TMRS, microsurface, or asphalt.
There are many other benefits such as superior in performance, improves traction, longer lasting
protection of underlying asphalt and actually continues to heal old and new cracks in existing
pavement for years after the application. The reason stated for the last drop in the City's Overall
Condition Index score was a considerable increase in cracking. Drought and extreme tempera-
tures contributed to the pavement cracking. The Specifications proposed should help to solve
some ofthose issues.
No action is required. Staff will bring back a contract for Board approval at a later date.
H. Review and possible recommendation concerning the 2013/14 Transportation Improvement
Program (TIP). - Ed Polasek and Micki Rundell
Polasek stated that at the March 2013 GTAB Board meeting staff presented the draft GTEC TIP
and Bond Authorization Funding timeline. Based on direction from this Board and revisions
from the GTEC Board, staff is now presenting the final draft for GTAB recommendation. The
GTAB Bond Authorization Projection depicts the costs associated with the construct of the
FM 971 intersection at Austin Avenue and meets the City’s local match obligation to construct
the FM 1460 project.

The City has been invited to a meeting with TxDOT and Williamson County concerning the MOKAN
corridor preservation. Meeting is scheduled for February 28th.
Ozone season is about to start. The city is part of the 03 flex program. What this means is that the city is
doing voluntary measures to help keep our ozone measures low in the region. The issue is that the EPA is
looking into lowing the standard to somewhere between 65 and 70. Being a part of the 03 flex program
will help with the non-attainment status. The 03 flex program agreement will expire at the end of 2013,
