Presentation of the City's Quarterly Financial Report, which includes the Investment Reports for the City of Georgetown, Georgetown Transportation Enhancement Corporation (GTEC), and the Georgetown Economic Development Corporation (GEDCO) for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 -- Paul Diaz, Budget Manger Budget Manager, Paul Diaz, provided a presentation on the City's 2nd Quarterly Financial Report. He explained that the reports includes information for the City itself, the GTEC Board and the GEDCO Board for the quarter ending March 31, 2017 Diaz described the status of the General Fund • Sales tax collections up 11 % compared to the same period last year • Property tax collections at 91 % for the year • Other revenue (ROI, Fees) up 9% due to growth • Expenditures on track for the quarter; accounting change in ISFs compared to prior year Diaz spoke on the Major Enterprise Funds • Electric Revenue up 3.2% compared to the same period last year • Water Revenue up 38% year over year • Hotel Occupancy Tax up 37% year over year • Airport Revenue up 20% year over year Diaz noted that weather plays a big part in the electric revenue. Diaz spoke on the impact that the new Sheraton Hotel has had on the occupancy tax and how new management and policies at the airport have improved the airport revenue. He noted that fuel rates and hanger leases have contributed to the success of the airport fund. Diaz also noted that the electric revenue fund has been calculated differently this year than FY16. He explained that in FY16 there were 2 different funds — the Western District Fund and the City of Georgetown Electric Revenue Fund. He explained that this year, after the consolidation, all revenues have been moved to one fund. Diaz said the 38% does not include the Western District fund and that the Western District fund would be up about 5%, which mirrors the growth rate. Mayor Ross asked Diaz what the normalized growth rate would be for Chisholm Trail if not included in the 38% shown. Diaz said 5%. CIP Highlights were shown next. • Sidewalk improvements throughout the City • Garey Park and San Gabriel Park • Southwest Bypass • Electric new development projects • Stone Hedge and Westinghouse water lift station Diaz displayed Investment Highlights FY2017 Mynd — — Investment Highlights Iy11012016 31111201+ Change Total Book Value 512L424,358 5 137,713.551 5 16,289,143 Average Yield 0.5@% 0.75% 0.14% 12/30/2016 Total Book Vallee S 26.843.346 Average Yield 063% 1 ?/If 1!!:111.

He explained that the investment portfolios for the City, GTEC and GEDCO are comprised of bank deposits, local government investment pools, money market accounts and certificates of deposit. Diaz said the GTEC decrease of $10 million dollars is because the City pays GTEC expenses out of the City's pooled depository account and then does a quarterly transfer from the GTEC investment accounts to pay back the depository account. Mayor Ross thanked Diaz for the good report. B. Fire Department Budget Update -- John Sullivan, Fire Chief Fire Chief John Sullivan provided a presentation on Fire Department information pertaining to the 2017/18 upcoming budget. Sullivan noted that the City of Georgetown will grow more in the next 10 years than it has in the last 100 years. Sullivan displayed the Demand for Service comparison over the past 5 years, which has increased by 45%. 'JJRE/MR)JCAi ............ .......... ........ ....... Sullivan showed the Time of Day Demand Comparisons, from 12 AM through 11 PM. He explained that it is important to balance resources accordingly. {! /1.AEDIcx I Sullivan noted that the demand for service for 2018 is estimated to have a 15% increase. Sullivan noted the decreased response time of the City and ESD that have been accomplished. He said that time intervals are measured from dispatch to arrival.

Sullivan spoke on traumatic injury being number one on the list in the community, due mostly to falls. He spoke on behavioral and psychiatric calls and that improvement is needed in getting people to the right facility. Sullivan noted that "Fire" does not make the Top 10 List of Calls. Sullivan spoke on the Sources of Medical Payments in the Community • Medicare — 64% • Medicaid — 5% • Insurance — 18% • Facility - .0035% • Bill Patient — I% • Private Pay — 11 % Sullivan noted that Georgetown only has 12% uninsured which is a fantastic number. He explained that because of the elder population in Georgetown, a large percentage are governmentally insured through Medicare which limits the amount of reimbursement. Sullivan provided a chart on how Medicare payments work. Sullivan spoke on FY16 Transport Charges and net charges, adjustments and monies received, which is about a 54% collection rate. He explained the delay that occurs with collections. Sullivan described "cash per transport". He explained that the cash per transport of $449 is good, when 65% of transports are Medicare and Medicare will not pay any more than $470 per transport. FY '16 Transport Revenue Gross Charges, - Adjustments = Net Charge, - Write -Off- Payment, = Bounce $4,564,009 ($1,521,683) 53,042,326 $10,352 $1,59i.171 S1.440.673 $14.5.730 FIRIPAEDICA-1 FYTD '17 Transport Revenue Gross Charges - AdjustmentS = Net t Charges - Write -Off- Payments = Ba-"cnce $2,848.433 ($819,807) $2,028,626 $1,169,119 $859,407 '*FY 18 Est. .43 5200K P e \m, �e n ij T 4 y J '*FY 18 Est. .43 5200K Mayor Ross asked about collection rates. Chief Sullivan described gross collectibles versus net collectibles. He said in FY16 gross collectibles were 38-41 % and went up this year to 42-45%, but when done against net charges, because of the inability to bill for adjustments unless the City gave up on Medicare, it leaves a collection rate of approximately 54%. Sullivan said for FY2017 the figure will be north of this percentage. Councilmember Fought asked Sullivan if the collection rate was 41 % for the County when the City took over the service. Sullivan confirmed and said that is why the City has changed billing companies. Fought asked if the collection rate could conservatively be called above 50% on the net. Sullivan confirmed. Sullivan said the City is also higher on the gross. Sullivan went on to speak on Response vs. Transport Sullivan spoke on services being provided without a source for collection or reimbursement. He explained that the City is only paid for those transported to a hospital. He described many situations where service is provided to those who call for assistance but are not transported to a hospital. He explained that many times this can be a fall or a diabetic situation. Sullivan described Priority Dispatch Councilmember Fought said he applauds taking the time to get to this point. He said any such program is initially short of resources. Fought noted that time has been taken to improve the systems and the City should not mind taking time to get it right. Sullivan spoke on Medicare and private insurance. He explained that neither one pays for anyone not taken to a hospital. Sullivan noted people using the 911 system, when not necessary, and said that the department is looking at ways to better educate the citizens. Sullivan provided maps of Current Deployments, the 5 -Year Deployment Plan and a 2030 Deployment Plan. •4� G ®�i - a .� �rldR1 L•V ��• , , ` Sullivan spoke on the Fire Station 6, with a proposed site at Williams Drive and 3405 and provided an aerial map of the area. •R+ ✓ {�^ •• y 1 ,,,fir 1 ��++''!!�: w••� * , f .,. .

Sullivan answered that it will be hiring, training, retaining staff and growth. Ross asked about the unique opportunity with Round Rock and why this is not done more often. Sullivan said he strongly advocates this but it is generally not thought to be good practice to locate a station on jurisdictional boundaries because you are not able to maximize efficiency in tax bases and responses. Councilmember Gipson asked about cash per call and if it is a percentage or a flat number. Sullivan asked if he was referring to the Medicare reimbursement. Sullivan said that the reimbursement is based on demographics and population and what Medicare has deemed reasonable and customary costs. Councilmember Fought asked about the 911 system that can locate cell phones and how this system is coming along. Sullivan said that people who call 911 by cell phone are not located quickly. Sullivan said the City is now using Smart 911 and is now able to ping the phone to locate someone. He explained that there is still a need for improvement with the system and the company is trying to work on providing service in real time. Sullivan explained that people need to register their phone and then it can be seen across the country. He said there are current problems with showing a location on the map, but these issues will be resolved. Fought noted that a person could have a heart attack on a walking trail instead of at home and this system is very valuable. Fought asked Sullivan to keep the Council updated on this and give them ways to publicize the information. Councilmember Eby asked about the subscription program. Sullivan explained that communities sometimes charge a certain dollar amount on utility bills to cover the costs of non -transport incidents. He said other cities have opt -in programs with an annual fee or a certain amount per family, which covers all of the family members. He explained that some families have little insurance and are unable to pay the non -transport fees. Councilmember Hesser asked how many overtime dollars have been budgeted. City Manager, David Morgan, said this will be brought to the Council in detail during the budget process. - Councilmember Jonrowe asked about a target for collection of payment. Sullivan said that cash per transport is the preferred target. He said the average collection of over $400 is good. Jonrowe said the City does not want to have unrealistic expectations or be too hard-nosed regarding collections. Jonrowe asked if the City keeps track of calls that go to other providers who we have agreements with for service. Sullivan confirmed and said a log is kept. He said many times there are multiple emergencies at one time, across different entities. He said that they try to leverage and work with each other. Mayor Ross thanked Sullivan for the presentation. C. Update, discussion, and direction on the solid waste contract -- Mike Babin, Deputy General Manager of Utilities Mike Babin, the Deputy General Manager of Utilities, provided a presentation and update regarding the City's solid waste contract and negotiations with Texas Disposal Systems. He explained that the presentation would involve an overall time line, the contract update and an expected rate impact. Babin spoke on a 10 + 10 contract and explained the opportunity to exercise a 5 year extension contract if an agreement is not reached. He also noted that the City would be able to convert to a month to month provision, if necessary. Babin said, ideally, he would like to wrap up a contract in this year, so that the wholesale cost would be in the 2018 budget and costs would be known and more manageable. Babin added that the expectation would be that the wholesale costs are the same under any contract. He asked Council to direct him if they are not comfortable with the 10 + 10 plan, if they would like him to shift to examining the 5 year plan, or if they would like to direct him to work in parallel on both plans. Babin displayed Prior Meetings and Direction and provided an Overall Transition Timeline Babin provided a list of Contract Objectives and described the Contract Structure Contract Structure Cost • Direct Costs for most expenses • Unit Cost for shared services • Overhead and Admin apportioned by percent of sales Return • Return is a percent above Cost • Incentive to control costs • Penalty for cost overruns A --N Forecast • Project Demand by Service • TDS provides cost per unit by service • Total budget from Cost plus Return Audit • True up to actual Cost • Annual at City Expense • Requires TDS to segregate Georgetown Financials • Benchmark to other providers Services Under the Contract Residential • Curbside — Weekly Cart Trash Plus Bags (fee) — Every Other Week Cart Recycling — Once a Month Yard Trimmings (Tier 1) — Twice a Year Bulky Waste (Tier 1) • Drop off — Trash, Recycling, Yard Trimmings or Bulky Waste at Collection Station (fee) C lORGLTQWN 1 1 }iA5 Commercial • Customer Premises — 1-5 per week Cart Trash — 1-7 per week Dumpster (2-10 cubic yard) Trash — 1-5 per week Cart Recycling - 1-7 times per week Dumpster (2-10 cubic yard) Recycling • Drop off — Trash, Recycling, Yard Trimmings or Bulky Waste at Collection Station (fee) Babin noted that a higher amount over budget, due to inefficiency, would lower TDSs profit margin at a 5 to 1 ratio. He said that there is not a cap amount, but that this is certainly a strong incentive to be efficient. Babin said that the benchmarking language is still being worked out. The Annual TDS Contract Timeline was shown next. Babin spoke on the Key Negotiated Numbers 1. Standard Return (Margin) — 9% - 12% 2. Tipping Fee - $25 per ton 3. Transfer Station Usage Fee (Paid by TDS) - $2.10 per ton 4. Adjustment Index for 2 & 3 — Average rate of change of regional landfills Babin went on to speak about the Remaining Key Decisions • Standard Return (Margin) - % Share of Savings • Term Structure 0 10 year + 10 year with a single renewal option (City's sole option to renew) 0 20 year with a single 10 year exit option (Performance criteria to exit) • Benchmark Metrics • Defining Operational Efficiencies and Inefficiencies Babin provided a chart of the Impact to Rates from the Contract. He explained that residential impact is easy to determine but the commercial impact can be complicated. He noted that TDS has a view of 29% to 34% for commercial and 11 % to 13% for residential. Babin said that wholesale costs would move similarly and noted that these are preliminary numbers. Service Residential IN $ Residential OUT $ Comm Cart $ 4 YD @ 2/wk $ 6 YD @ 4/wk $ 8 YD c1/wk $ rjib, Current New $ inc % inc 16.50 $ 18.41 $ 1.91 11.60% 22.50 $ 25.11 S 2.61 11.60% 23.70 $ 31.76 $ 8.06 34.02% 159.50 $ 212.81 $ 53.31 33.42% 387.90 $ 519.31 $ 131.41 33.88% 123.50 S 165.16 $ 41.66 33.74% Texas Disposal Systems had provided a handout of this chart for the Council. Mayor Ross asked about the additional fee above the TDS fees. Babin said this fee covers staff expense, medication collection, marketing, information provided to customers, and the cost of public events. Babin said it is impossible to compare apples to apples with other cities. Babin noted that, with the new contact, the City would move from near the bottom of the chart to the middle of the chart, with the projected increase. Babin said it is important to remember that in the last 5 years, the City has seen less than a 5% increase. Councilmember Gonzalez said it looks like an 18% increase year after year. He asked if the increase could be tiered to make it more comfortable. Chris Foster, the City's Resource Management and Integration Manager, said utility fees lie completely within the general fund. He explained that split funding would eventually need to affect taxes, or another funding source would be needed. Mayor Ross asked how much money this refers to. Foster said bills would increase by $3 per month or $36 per year. Gonzalez said he withdrew his concern. Jonrowe asked if the City would be providing the same services while implementing and beginning the master plan and if the master plan could lower costs. Babin said yes and noted that it is designed to do exactly that. Mayor Ross said Council could select different options each year. Babin confirmed and said it was part of the key design to have the flexibility of adding services, creating incentives, etc. Councilmember Hesser congratulated Babin on a job well done. He noted a service issue with tree trimmings having to be brought to the station and then the station charging a fee. Hesser said that is the one thing he gets the most complaints about and asked Babin if this could be looked at. Babin said that, in the past, this was a plus for TDS, as they were able to keep the revenue in the old contract. He said in the new model the City will pay for the labor and include it in the cost, and the Council will be able to choose whether to charge customers or socialize that cost in the solid waste rate for everyone. Hesser asked how much revenue is taken in for this service and if the City tracks this. Babin said he does not know the number. Mayor Ross said he too feels it is unfair to do all the work, take it to the station and then have to pay to leave it there. He noted that TDS sells the mulch. Ross said he could bind the trimmings, leave them at the curb, and have them picked up, but they would go into the landfill. Babin said trimmings picked up on the appropriate days do not go into the landfill. Babin said this fee could be changed to be processed any way that Council decides. City Manager, David Morgan, said that if this is the consensus of the Council, the City can work this into the new contract. Councilmember Fought said he had brought up cost plus and had noted that it does not work. He said he likes the structure of the pick your service process. Fought said he would like to throw out cost plus, and realizes, now, that this is not that. He said he is concerned with what is not yet done what is not yet defined. Fought cautioned staff to take the time to get it right no matter how long it takes. He noted that the City is looking at 20 years and big dollars. He told Babin not to feel the pressure and take his time. Fought said he would like to have things adequately defined. Mayor Ross asked Babin to speak to Councilmember Fought's comments. Babin said the structure should be called "cost of service" instead of "cost plus". Babin said this is structured more like a utility provider, with cost of service. He explained that the City is very familiar with this structure and has done this with electric, water and wastewater and is very familiar with how to manage it. Babin apologized for the perception that there was a lot of things not yet determined. He explained that there are only 4 things to still determine - benchmarks, performance, mark up and split. Ross asked how long it would be before these things were known. Babin said approximately another month. He explained that there is not have a hard deadline but they would like to get it wrapped up. Councilmember Nicholson asked if there are other customers to compare the contact to. Babin said internal benchmarking could be done within TDS. He explained that the City is a small part of their business and there are not a lot of publicly traded companies to compare. Babin said it would be a challenge to find good benchmarking. He added that TDS has a strong incentive to keep competitive Councilmember Gonzalez said the uniqueness of the transfer station is what makes measurement in the market difficult. He asked about the impact of the station. Gonzalez said the Council will need more information to make sense of it, with the expansion of a long term contract. Gonzalez said the long term partnership with TDS needs to be a financial incentive for the City. City Manager, David Morgan, said the transfer station is an unknown and it is important to work through the process. Morgan said TDS a great partner, but the City will have to put themselves into a potentially precarious situation. He noted that the ala cart portion is an incentive and a long term contract has the opportunity to be brought to the Council for arbitration annually. He explained that this puts Council in a different role. Morgan said, since the City does not have a contract to compare to, there is a lack of understanding. He said this is such an important decision and the Council will need to examine all of the dynamics with their eyes wide open. Babin said the real unknown is that there is not a way to get a market rate on a transfer station by a third party. He explained that there are no external benchmarks. He explained that the costs are the City's investment in a transfer station is essentially all fixed cost and very little variable cost associated with it. Babin said he would expect Council to look ahead and selling capacity to someone else could be gravy or margin. Gonzalez said a 15 or 20 year plan can be designed for a 10 year. Babin said he will come back with a certain cost to set the floor. He said he will bring back a measurement of cost for the Council. Ross said costs should not be that volatile. Babin said the volatility comes from environmental regulation and legislation and fuel. Mayor Ross asked Babin what he needs from the Council today. Babin said he would like direction from the Council on whether to continue negotiations on the 10 + 10 contract, a 5 year contract, or to look into both. He said he would like the uncertainties nailed down. Councilmember Gonzalez said he would like staff to examine the 10 + 10 year contract in parallel with a 5 Year contract. Gonzalez said the Council will need cost certainty. He said the 10 + 10 year plan should be a priority, but would like to see both and explore the comparisons. Babin said this is doable and he will continue negotiating possible contracts and bring an update back to the Council. Mayor Ross thanked Babin for a nice presentation and asked him to thank those involved D. Presentation and discussion of a proposal to approve $10,000 in GEDCO funds, and a Request for proposals, to accomplish a feasibility study regarding an inpatient residential hospice facility in the Georgetown area -- Steve Fought, District 4 Representative and member of GEDCO. Councilmember Steve Fought spoke on a GEDCO proposal to implement a feasibility study on an inpatient residential hospice facility in Georgetown. He explained that, although Georgetown has hospital rooms and rooms in assisted living facilities, dedicated to hospice care, along with a number of companies that provide home hospice, Georgetown does not have a specific hospital dedicated to inpatient hospice care alone. Fought noted that the closest such hospital is the Christopher House in Southeast Austin. Fought said that he had spoken to Hugh Brown, the CEO of St. David's Georgetown Hospital, who informed him that inpatient hospice is very complicated and would usually require foundation support. Fought noted that he and Scott Alarcon, the CEO of the Georgetown Health Foundation, visited the Christopher House and studied the program. Fought also mentioned interest from Tim Harris, a Georgetown banker, commercial broker, who has served in many capacities in the City of Georgetown. Fought said they are fortunate to be forming a good team. He said he was pleased to find that the Treasurer of Christopher House is Gary Nelon, a former Mayor of Georgetown. Fought said that he has learned that an inpatient hospice is a very different animal. He said that patients at Christopher House had a home like environment with large rooms, private patios, and a small kitchen. Fought said that pets were allowed and behaviors, not normally allowed in a hospital setting, were also permitted. The Christopher House said that they would be willing to help but suggested a feasibility study to see if the idea could be supported. Fought said that there would be two parts to such a study — the feasibility and sustainability would need to be studied. He explained that there are several consulting firms with this type of experience. Fought explained that the major clients would be the hospitals, with doctors who would refer, because it would need to be those who have a reason to read the results of the study. Fought said that the Board of Directors of the Christopher House said they would put money on the table of $5,000, $2,500 for each phase. He said the complete study is estimated to be $30,000. Fought said the Georgetown Health Foundation and Baylor Scott & White are willing to put up $10,000 each toward the study. Fought said this idea was then taken to the Georgetown Economic Development Corporation (GEDCO), as it fits the medical economic development goal of the board. Fought said the facility would not be owned or operated by the City, but the City could possibly, provide incentives. Fought said that they have added a member of the Georgetown Commission on Aging to the team. He went on to say that GEDCO approved $10,000 in GEDCO funds toward the study and that an RFP was approved by GEDCO, which will be administered by the Georgetown Health Foundation, a 501c corporation. Fought said he has asked for the distribution of funds to be $7,500 for Phase 1 and $2,500 for Phase 2. Fought said the RFP dates would be June 16, 2017 with responses due back by July 17, 2017. Fought said that no decisions needed to be made by the Council at this point and that he will come back for Council approval in July. Fought said the City needs this and it is not just an advantage to Sun City but an advantage to all of Georgetown. Councilmember Gonzalez said he would feel more comfortable if the $10,000 came from the Council Discretionary Fund rather than from GEDCO funds, because there is not an economic development benefit to the project. Fought said he likes this idea. Councilmember Jonrowe said she is also supportive. All member of the Council were in agreement. Mayor Ross recessed the meeting to Executive Session under Section 551.071, Section 551.074, Section 551.086 and Section 551.087 at 4.55 PM. Ross said Executive Session would start at 5:05 PM.
