H Consideration and
possible action regarding
the
City Council employee performance
appraisal process --
Tommy Gonzalez,
Councilmember District
7
and
Danny
Meigs,
Councilmember
District
3
Mayor reviewed the item. Gonzalez said the goal of this was to develop a form that can be used to evaluate the
staff that report to the Council. He noted they looked at other cities that have these positions and created a form
that can be tailored for each position. He said the same format would be used for both the City Manager and
City Secretary. He noted himself and Meigs looked at the private sector and public sector entities for more
examples. He added the form that's before the Council is the first draft and is open to changes and discussion.
Meigs said, in their discussions with outside advisors, there were three items that need to be addressed
including the points listed on the appraisal. He said he was told the wording was good and sound, however, the
total points for exceeds expectations was a little low. He said it would be good to also have each employee
complete a self appraisal as well as a 360 appraisal with different directors and department heads who work
with those employees to complete an appraisal. Gonzalez recommended the exceeds expectations total should
move up to 37. He noted they should also expand upon the 360 review process. Gonzalez said the process
they came up with was to ensure that the review process gets done on a timely basis. Mayor summarized what
kind of motion would be needed. Sansing said he thinks they did a great job and agreed that the points were a
little low for exceeds expectations. He noted he looks forward to seeing the final product. Ross asked and
Gonzalez confirmed that all of the fourteen categories will have equal weight. Ross asked about the City
Manager's 360 process and Gonzalez reviewed how that process would work. Sattler said it looks fine to him.
Eason said it looks great to her and, if Meigs and Gonzalez are interested in further refinement, at the next
Council meeting they could talk about it as a workshop item in case there is any information needed from staff or
in case Council has any further questions. Eason said they have put a lot of work into the form, as far as she
can tell, and she feels the final step would be a workshop discussion to refine the form and process. Meigs and
Gonzalez said they are supportive of that process. Gonzalez confirmed that Council can make the
City Council Meeting Minutes/
Page 3 of 9 Pages
recommended changes mentioned tonight and then bring it back to Workshop. Eason said she likes the idea of
doing this in a workshop environment. Brandenburg said there is only one item on the next Workshop agenda.
Mayor asked and Gonzalez said this version is more specific to the City Attorney but noted the City Manager
and City Secretary will have a say in their forms as well. Berryman asked to compile the City Manager's and
City Secretary's appraisal forms as well. Gonzalez said, once this form is done, the City Manager and City
Secretary forms can be done afterward. Berryman asked that the City Manager and City Secretary also have a
chance to weigh in on the form. Mayor said it seems there is a direction to staff and it will be on the Workshop
agenda for discussion and refinement for all positions.
Discussion and possible
action
regarding an
Entertainment
Zone for the Downtown Square from October 1,
2010 through January 2,
2011 --
Bill Sattler,
Councilmember
District 4
Sattler said, in recent discussions with members of the Downtown Georgetown Association (DGA), they were
talking about some things that could be done to bring more excitement and exposure to the downtown square
and the businesses downtown. He spoke about the idea having an entertainment zone downtown where the
DGA would be responsible for entertainment each weekend and added it would be a City sponsored event. He
added they would like to have this on Friday afternoons, all day Saturday and Sunday afternoons.
He spoke about rerouting Austin Ave. between 7th and 8th streets so there can be events and exhibits on Austin
Avenue on the Fridays and Saturdays on the square. He said the DGA is looking for continuity so that more
people expect something to happen downtown every weekend. He added this would cause more people to
frequent the square. He said DGA would like to do this from October 1, 2010 and January 2, 2010. He reviewed
the requests from the DGA including that this be a city sponsored event, that there be a rerouting of Austin
Avenue during those particular times and that it be done on Friday afternoon from 5:30p.m. to 10:00 p.m.,
Saturday between 10 a.m. and 10 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 5:30 p.m.
Speaker, Larry Epp of the Downtown Georgetown Association, said he is new to town and has adopted the
community. He noted he wanted to answer Council's questions about this idea. He said the idea is to reroute
traffic in order to have a venue for events and to have three days to plan the events. He said there is a safety
aspect as well so that people can stroll the square safely. He spoke about the predictability of this occurring on
a regular basis. He said, with the success of this, chances are the group will be back to ask for this for another
three months. Ross asked and Epp said the road closures go back to the same idea that was brought up a few
years ago and he described how traffic would be routed downtown. Gonzalez said he is all for this and asked if
the businesses will adjust their hours to be available during the times that the events are going to happen. Epp
said he does not know the answer that question but added he knows it's an issue that is going on in the
background. Gonzalez said it is a crucial compenent to have all of the stores participation to maximize the
benefit of the folks coming down. Sansing asked and Epp said it is different than the First Friday events in that
there would be four sets of events throughout the month to be held every weekend. Sansing addressed the
traffic on Austin Avenue and said it is important for the DGA to communication with the convention and visitors
bureau as well.
Berryman asked if there will be a cost involved with having police there to redirect traffic. Brandenburg said,
without a formal proposal, he does not have the answer to that question. Brandenburg said he would like to
have a more formal presentation given to staff and to see a proposal so that all potential issues and details can
be discussed. Eason said she is hesitant to vote on this because she needs more information on the true
impact of this idea on the community and traffic. She said she needs some real numbers, hard facts and names
of people in charge and what is planned. Ross is supportive of doing this but agreed they do need more details.
He noted there are a bunch of events scheduled for the downtown square already this fall. Trisha Tallman, DGA
Director, spoke about the events that will be going on this fall. She said she will talk to City staff about getting a
proposal and a full study to be brought back to Council. Ross asked and Tallman agreed that this is just a
conceptual item to see if City Council would be interested in something like this.
Sattler agreed and said he just wanted to see if Council thinks this would be a good idea. Sattler said it is quite a
commitment for the DGA to do something every weekend from October to January. He added he wanted to
open it up to the rest of the Council to get their thoughts or possible objections. Sattler said he thinks this item
should come back to the next meeting and to let the DGA and any other organizations come to Council and talk
about their needs, wants and possible event calendar. Berryman said she would like to direct the DGA to work
with staff to work up a business plan and a concept of what is being planned for October and November. She
said it is a cool idea but noted it will be a lot of work. Mayor asked and Brandenburg said he would like to work
with the DGA on the business plan, the public safety component of it as well, how traffic will be diverted and
come back to Council quickly and, if the Council supports it, they can start the process and get it going. Mayor
asked and Brandenburg said that staff could probably have something ready for discussion at the next meeting.
Sattler asked that this item be continued until the next Council meeting so they can have further discussions.

Briggs said, for the last three years, the members of the ATM cities have worked to resolve rate cases brought
by ATMOS Energy under something known as a rate review mechanism. He said the mechanism operated
under a 2008 settlement He said, for this year, it was filed in mid-April and required ATMOS to replace steel
service lines. He said, because of the concerns with service lines, the commission appeared to be considering
replaced all lines on a rapid schedule which would raise rates. He noted the ATM cities has come up with a
more reasonable schedule. He said the entire settlement would be effective under this provision in October of
2010. He said the typical increase per residential customer would be $1.40 and commercial would be $3.82 per
month. He said it has been recommended that this settlement be adopted.

Page 5 of 9 Pages
Attorney
With a Powerpoint Presentation, Briggs outlined the issue being brought to the voters at the November 2, 2010
election. Briggs said the Ordinance before Council will set the polling places, but he reviewed the Election. He
reviewed the history of the quarter cent sales tax for rehabilitation of existing City streets. He spoke about the
street maintenance treatments done using these funds. He showed Council a map showing all roadways that
have been touched with these funds. He said this tax will go to the voters November 2, 2010 and, if approved,
the sales tax for streets will continue until 2015. He noted, if not approved, the tax will suspend in April of 2011.
He read the ballot language to the audience and said, for more information, go to the city's website at

Approved 7-0
O First Reading of an Ordinance pertaining to the 2003 Charter Election -- Mark Sokolow, City Attorney
Sokolow read the entire Ordinance to the City Council.
Motion by Eason, second by Sansing that this Ordinance and proposal be reviewed in the General Government
and Finance Subcommittee (GGAF) and to authorize the City Manager to acquire professional assistance to
look into why counsel is doing this.
She said she is not going to vote on an Ordinance regarding the Charter without having full review of that
Ordinance. Sansing said he questions the GGAF committee reviewing it. Eason said she is open to any other
avenue for review as well. Gonzalez asked and Sokolow described why he went to all the work in creating this
Ordinance. Sokolow said in 2003, the Council had a charter election. He said the canvassing resolution had
some errors in it and there were follow up resolutions that were not sent to the Justice Department. He noted
this is just a clean up item to be sent to the Justice Department. He said the Secretary of State never got a copy
of the Charter Amendments and they are supposed to have those. He said this is just to go back and correct
parts of the process. Sansing asked and Sokolow said he was asked to look at the Charter and its history and
he saw that the Resolution canvassing the Election did not match what was on the ballot. He said this is to just
fix the error for the City's records. Sokolow said this is to correct the documents and to file the appropriate items
and charter amendments with the Justice Department. Sansing asked why this was brought up in the first
place.
Ross said he is not going to support sending this to GGAF because he does not know what help that would
provide. Eason clarified and said that GGAF would not be the one to make the decision on this Ordinance, but
for the City Manager to acquire professional help for the committee to review it. Eason said she is not
convinced that this is something that needs to happen right away and she does not know what the
repercussions are of how this being done. Ross said outside legal counsel has already reviewed this once and
added he thinks this is just a housekeeping issue. Meigs asked and Sokolow said he has discussed this with
the firm Olson and Olson, TMl_ Attorney Scott Houston, former City Attorney Trish Carls and with the bond
attorneys as well. He said, when this Charter amendment was first discussed in 2003, it was a discussion
where the City obtained a lot of input from outside firms. He said, when he found a problem with the canvassing
resolution, he decided to do this to complete the paperwork that should have been sent to the Attorney General
in the first place. Vote on the motion: Denied 2-5 (Gonzalez, Meigs, Sattler, Berryman, Ross opposed))
Motion by Berryman, second by Sattler to approve the Ordinance on first reading.
Berryman noted that Brandenburg said this is just a housekeeping issue and added this seems to be a logical
solution to the problem. Gonzalez asked and Sokolow said this reaffirms what is already published as the
Charter. Sokolow confirmed nothing is changing. Approved 5-2 (Sansing, Eason opposed)

that Council make sure that their meetings can be streamed live online. She said Round Rock live streams the
agendas online. She said she would like for the City to come into the 21 st century and do the same. She said,
in addition, she finds it offensive to drive downtown to pick up an audio tape to be able to listen to the meetings.
Mayor asked and Rundell said there is a copy of the budget at the library. She noted the workbook is available
online and added there is a link on the front page. Hutchinson showed Stewart and the Council where they can
