Davila -Quintero noted that Items Q and R were related and the discussion would apply to both items. She explained that the assessment provides supplemental public services for Georgetown Village Public Improvement District 1 property. Davila -Quintero discusses the GVPID Assessment • August 23, 2016 — City Council approved the GVPID Budget and associated service plan for FY2017 • Service Plan: Supplemental services and improvements to be provided for the GVPID. The total estimated cost for the next 5 years is $1,701,258.00, with an average annual cost of $340,252.00 • Levy of Assessment will be $0.14 per $100 valuation, based on the real property value as determined by the Williamson County Appraisal District. This represents a $0.06 reduction of the current $0.20 rate • Public Hearing notices were mailed to all property owners within the Georgetown Village Public Improvement District and posted in the newspaper • Item R, at this meeting, will be the First Reading of an ordinance approving the final Service Plan, Assessment Roll, Method of Assessment and Levy of Assessment for 2017 Davilla read the caption. Mayor Ross opened the Public Hearing at 6:30 PM. Persons signed up to speak on the item included: Tommy Horner, Dylan Baez, Deborah Allen and Elizabeth Pinkerton. Comments and Concerns Voiced included: Concerned about taxes City likes to spend money Spends by raising taxes Do not continue this practice Spoke on notification of assessment Spoke on appraisals Asked for explanation of the PID tax Confused by notification Common areas in Village have not been mowed How do you find out who is responsible Questions on landscaping Asked for additional waste receptacles Jim Briggs, the City's General Manager of Utilities, addressed the concerns and questions. Briggs provided his contact information and explained that anyone with concerns may contact him. He noted that the Georgetown Village PID Advisory Board meets the second Monday of each month in a public, open meeting and all are welcome to attend. Briggs said the City is working with the developer to get resolution on certain matters, including the landscaping concerns. He said that capital improvements will be discussed at said meetings. Briggs explained that the Georgetown Village PID was a special district created for putting public improvements into the neighborhood. The assessment is a tax that generates revenue to fund the maintenance of trees, pocket parks, landscaping, etc., but is not a Homeowners Association. Briggs explained that the GVPID assessment was actually a tax decrease. He said the amount of revenue collected is less than the previous tax rate. GVPID residents will experience lower out of pocket cost than the previous year. Briggs explained that the confusion is likely linked to the notifications of assessment sent to property owners this year, even though they have been paying assessments each and every year. The notifications sent to residents made the assessment seem more prevalent. Mayor Ross closed the Public Hearing at 6.45 PM. R. First Reading of an Ordinance approving and adopting the final 2017 Service Plan, 2016 Assessment Roll, establishing classifications for the apportionment of costs and the methods of assessing special assessments for the services and improvements to property in the Georgetown Village Public Improvement District No. 1 (GVPID), closing the hearing and levying assessments for the cost of certain services and improvements to be provided in the GVPID during 2017, fixing charges and liens against the property in the GVPID and against the owners thereof, and providing for the collection of the assessments — Andreina Davila -Quintero, Project Coordinator (action required) Andreina Davila -Quintero, the City's Project Coordinator, described the final 2017 Service Plan and the 2016 Assessment Roll.
