1. Policy Development and Discussion - Workshop
1.A Approval Criteria for Zoning Requests, Code Changes, and Comprehensive Plan
Amendments
Presentation and Discussion regarding criteria for approval for zoning requests, code
changes, and comprehensive plan amendments -- Sofia Nelson, Planning Director After
presenting the proposed approval criteria for Special Use Permits, Rezoning, and Planned
Unit Development Districts, Sofia Nelson, Planning Director asked the council for feedback:
Do the recommended changes meet the project goals of predictability and flexibility for the
UDC? • Are there any changes to the recommendations you would like the Steering
Committee and Staff to re-examine. • Are there any specific changes the City Council
would like to be included that were not already identified?
Stewart and Triggs stated they could not tell if the changes were right until the
implementation and results are shown. They like the reviews and would not make any
changes at this time, and do not have specific changes. Garland and Hood did not have
any suggestions. Parr asked about PUD provisions for rec facilities and cultural
amenities. Nelson explained some PUD uses do not lend themselves to those criteria
and they are trying to find something more to the public benefit.
French likes these ideas, and the rework makes sense, not setting such a high bar for
developers that they cannot meet them. He questions the financial impact criteria and asks
whose benefit this is meeting. Mayor explained that development is asked to prove a
benefit to economic development and to look at the impact of development through the
lens of the fiscal impact model. French would like to look at the analysis and make sure
the full criteria is known to the developers. he said the proposed changes are heading in
the right direction.
Pitts stated the PUDs are not being used as originally intended and they are serving as
guardrails for multi -family developments and suggests the city should get away from that.
He suggests that some of the parameters are not feasible and that he is concerned that
zoning is being approved based on pretty pictures (concept plans) but that the reality is that
straight zoning would allow something different if once approved the developer/owner
changes their minds and want to build another project in that zoning allowance. Mayor and
Pitts expressed desire for specific criteria for SUPs for specific uses, identifying city
expectations up front.
Nelson moved to Comprehensive Plan Amendments and UDC Text Amendments and
suggested changes. She asked the same questions of council regarding these proposals.
The approval criteria of CPA would be enhanced by removing the completeness statement
and establishing an annual review process. The UDC text amendments would have
improved approval criteria. The UC Advisory Committee recommends removing the council
super- majority requirements and allowing UDC changes anytime, without executive and
emergency amendments being needed.
All Council members agreed with the proposals and appreciated the flexibility and the
idea of making the code more nimble in the future.
1.6 Health District Update
Presentation and discussion regarding the Williamson County and Cities Health District
annual update for Georgetown -- Leigh Wallace, Chief Financial Officer and Dr. Caroline
Hilbert, Executive Director
Dr. Caroline Hilbert of WCCHD provided the annual update and explained the increase in
permits and inspectors. She stated they increased their numbers in 2023 because several
inspections had not been provided as often as needed in the past. They have been trying to
rectify that, hence the increase in numbers. They have been working on bringing the
unpermitted businesses into compliance. She noted there has been an increase in the
number of West Nile cases in the county in the last year. She also reported there was a
decrease in the number of clinical services encounters due to not enough funding. Many are
being referred to the Lone Star Circle of Care. She reported when asked that Georgetown
pays $2.35 per capita for their services. She also stated that they are expecting to inspect
all businesses at least once in the next year.
Mayor called for a 10 minute recess.
1.0 FY2024 Mid -Year Budget Amendment
Presentation and discussion of the FY2024 Mid -Year Budget Amendment -- Nathan
Parras, Assistant Finance Director
Nathan Parras, Assistant Finance Director provided the report of the proposed mid -year
budget amendments needed due to Changes to Capital Projects, Personnel updates to
meet service demands in Public Safety, Amended Water/Wastewater rates, Increase in
Water reservation agreement (70,000 acre feet), Other Changes and Additions and
FY2025 Budget Planning
Council asked questions regarding which expenses were one-time versus continuing.
There was discussion of public safety staff and ensuring that is being monitored. Morgan
explained that staff is constant analyzing and projecting personnel costs and prioritizing
additional staff only when needed.
1.D Water Quality Management Plan
Discussion and possible direction regarding the City's Water Quality Management Plan --
Jack Daly, Assistant Public Works Director
Jackson Daly, Assistant Public Works Director presented appreciated the people that
helped create the Water Quality Management Plan and associated CIP Plan for Public
Works, including Halff Associates, Molly Ritter and Bruce Gick. He started by explaining
that the city has been treating the system like a four year old, but it's more like the size of a
45 year old. The city has catchup to do and is required per ordinance to review the Plan for
areas within the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone. The city takes an active role in
managing impervious cover, which increases air temperature and generates greater runoff.
He explained water quality efforts are complex and decentralized and the more stormwater
that is captured and managed, the more complex the maintenance.
The state required an MS4 and new requirements are being mandated in August.
Georgetown is currently a Level 3 Phase II small MS4 and is not expected to become a
level 4 until the 2034 cycle.
Recommendations of the plan include enhancements because the status quo will not meet
minimum standards in the future. To maintain current levels of service (no enhancements),
comply with fiscal & budgetary policy, and prepare of inflationary and growth factors, will
need to increase rate $1.75 by FY2029. The Plan recommends new personnel, vehicles
and additional CIP improvements. FY 2025 Service Level Enhancements are proposed: 3
New Employees ($255,000) • 1 Stormwater Analyst • 2 GIS Specialists • 1 New Truck
($40,000) • 1 Special Vehicle ($300,000) • 10 Quick Win Projects ($235,000) • 2 CIP
Projects ($800,000).
There were no questions or comments by Council.

Consideration and possible action to approve a Task Order FNI-24 -001 with Freese and
Nichols of Austin, Texas for final design, bidding, and construction services for the Austin
Avenue Pedestrian Bridges in the amount of $2,835,086.86 -- Wesley Wright, P.E., Systems
Engineering Director and Chris Pousson, CIP Manager
Wesley Wright, P.E., Systems Engineering Director gave a short statement about this item
and answered questions of the council. Triggs asked if the design is specifically for Option
2, which was discussed at February and March workshops. Wright stated that from their
discussion and in -depth review of the bridges, it was generally agreed upon to move
forward with the final design of Option 2. Triggs asked to see more worksheets on the
architect expenses and estimates of future maintenance costs. He also expressed concerns
about the decline of birds and asked if a study had been done determining the effects of
bridges on birds. Wright explained that there would need to be occasional maintenance of
the bridge, as there would be with any bridge, and since the bridge is not funded by federal
money, the project does not require federal regulated reports. The environmental studies
have been done. Council discussed the costs associated with building the different options.
Mayor Schroeder opened the floor for speakers.
Mr. Kim Williams spoke about his concerns about the changes in design and funding for
the project, citing that he and others felt this bridge was too expensive and felt like the
public had chosen Option 1, the least expensive bridge. He was concerned that staff is
moving forward on the design of an option which has not received a final vote. He asked
for a delayed vote.
Tom Colmin expressed concerns about the additional $3.5 million for design of bridge 2
when the majority of the public wanted option 1. He stated he would rather see the money
to a better use.
No other speakers came forth.
A motion was made to approve, and Council gave their thoughts. French says that
Georgetown is set apart by its character and this Option 2 will accentuate that character for
another 75 years. Parr said she takes fiscal responsibility very seriously and this is a once in
a lifetime choice and this option will make a statement for the gateway. She thinks this is a
good option for the city and her constituents like Option 2 as well. Hood stated Bridge 2 is
the best option for the most beautiful square. Pitts stated that bridge 1 is okay, but trying to
make a gateway entry signature piece he would choose bridge 2. This is a perfect statement
of the motto of honoring the past and planning for the future. Garland expressed that he did
like bridge 1 option at first, but since the city is forced to put in these bridges and we want
them to last, the $3.2 million expense makes sense. Triggs doesn't think the city needs to
make a statement and the money is for now, not for 75 years. He stated the residents are
not looking at the future and he feels it is a shame that council cannot put this in perspective
during economic times. Stewart stated he actually liked bridge 3, but he will gladly support
bridge 2. The vote was taken.
Moved by Joseph (fake) French IV; seconded by Ben Stewart to Approve the contract for
the design of Option 2 bridge as presented.

business might comply with the criteria of the code, it is not appropriate and she asked the
council to deny the use.
Jeanie Snead, owner of the bed and breakfast property, 1008 E University, approved the
comments made by Ms. Babick. She also believes this restaurant will have a bigger
negative impact on the neighborhood and her business and that having part of the parking
for the restaurant across SH 29 and on Southwestern's property will not be safe.
Sharp also on East University, supports the proposal and supports landowner
rights to develop. She is also concerned about the parking across University Blvd stating it
is already a hazard with students crossing the street especially with the allowance of
alcohol being served.
