This item was pulled by staff.
N Discussion and possible direction to staff regarding the City's Facilities Plan -- Paul E. Brandenburg, City
Manager
Brandenburg reviewed the item and the information that was discussed with the City Council at the Workshop.
He spoke about the Albertson's building and what has transpired with relation to that facility. He noted the
Workshop identified both the immediate and intermediate needs of the facilities within the City. He noted staff
also looked at the use for the Albertson's building as well as the fire station. He spoke about the idea of using
the Albertson's building for a City Hall. He noted the third item was looking at Georgetown Utility Systems and
the development of an electric services facility. He continued to review his recommendations. He said staff
would like direction from Council on where and how to move forward with these issues.
Speaker, Tommy Gonzalez, said he heard the discussion earlier and something came to mind regarding the
facilities. He said the City should make decisions based on long term needs and not immediate needs. He said
this would solve the City's space issues and save the City money in the long run. He noted freeing up space in
the downtown area as a result of moving to the Albertson's building would create more economic development
and better sales tax dollars for the City.
Speaker, Lupe Salazar, said she owns the Quizno's in Georgetown and noted she was happy hearing that the
City was thinking about becoming their neighbors at the Albertson's building. She said, on another note, her
business has been concerned with the safety on Austin Avenue. She spoke about street closures and the
safety of that intersection.
Speaker, Laurence Simpson, said it is silly to use the Albertson's building for City Hall. He spoke about using
the Albertson's as an expo center or a convention center in the interim. He said he is wondering why the
Convention and Visitors Bureau hasn't brought this up.
Mayor said Council has received four recommendations from the City Manager. Sansing asked that Mark Miller
call Ms. Salazar regarding the intersection on Austin Avenue. Sattler said he likes the steps that staff is
suggesting but noted he is concerned about starting a study that is never ending. He said it may be a good idea
to put definitions and timelines to these projects. He knows the City needs to purchase land for Fire Station 5
and said he likes the idea of the consolidation of departments for a public safety complex. He said he knows the
electric utility is growing by leaps and bounds and said they are ready for a separate location. He said he hopes
the direction from Council does not turn into a study that never gets to an actual solution.
Motion by Sattler, second by Sansing that the City identify a location and purchase land for Fire Station 5, to
work on a formal plan to look at the Albertson's building and other locations for the consolidation of city services
and departments as well as a GISD administration building and that this be done within 90 days, and also that
staff work with the police and fire department to look at a public safety complex including the location and
project cost and that that also be done within 90 days and to also build a plan for an electric department building
to be put on land that they own and that this be done within 90 days.
Oliver said he agrees with items 1 and 4 as well as the timeline, as long as the City Manager agrees that this is
doable. Brandenburg said the timeline is fine. Oliver made a friendly amendment that items 2 and 3 be
brought back by staff within 90 days to also include two comprehensive choices on both of those issues. He
added he would like for Council to look at those two choices as global and total plans and then make a decision
from there. Sattler asked and Oliver clarified his wishes. Oliver said he feels more comfortable being able to look
at the past and current plans for the Albertson's building. Sattler agreed with the friendly amendment.
Sansing agreed as well.
Berryman made a
second friendly amendment to also address the
issue of the need to
consolidate the City
administration into
one location as well as for staff to provide Council
with cost estimates
for each of the plans.

Ross said he thought the mission of this item was to narrow the boxes. He said he would be more inclined to
listen to Brandenburg's judgement after having him listen to the needs and wants of Council. He said he
disagrees with the 90 day timeline. He said Brandenburg does not need a motion at the meeting, but just
direction from Council. Ross said he would like for Brandenburg to have more leeway instead of trying to
engineer the issue from the dais. Sattler said the 90 day timeline was put in place so that this issue would not
be a never ending project. Eason suggested that the ninety days would be "up to" ninety days and that
Brandenburg would probably come back to Council a lot sooner. Brandenburg said he would come back to
Council if he needs additional time. Ross said Brandenburg senses the urgency and he knows Brandenburg will
come back to Council in a timely fashion. Brainard said Council is all on the same page but they are just
arguing about formalities.
Sansing withdrew his second. Oliver seconded the original motion.
Vote to approve the motion as amended twice: Approved 4-3 (Brainard, Sansing and Ross opposed)
X First Reading of an Ordinance amending 2.16.010 and 2.16.020 of the Code of Ordinances as it pertains to
compensation or expense reimbursement for the Mayor and Councilmembers -- Ben Oliver, Chair,
Compensation Committee
Mayor reviewed the composition and charge of the Council Compensation Committee. Oliver thanked Micki
Weisner and Will Moore for their service on the committee. He said he would like to summarize the report and
how they came to their conclusions and recommendations. Oliver read the portion of the City Charter related to
Council Compensation and summarized what the committee is recommending. He said the committee reviewed
data from surrounding cities and said they found that there was no clear pattern in the Council compensation in
the area. He reviewed some of the findings from that research. Oliver said Georgetown's current plan was
adopted two years ago of $300 a month for Council and $450 for the Mayor with an additional optional
supplementary monthly stipend of $800. He said the committee is recommending a maintenance of the current
policy with a change to the second level of compensation. He said the two main models that were prevalent in
surrounding cities were for Council to not be paid at all or to be paid at a flat rate salary per month. He said the
third model is for expense reimbursement.
Oliver said the recommendation is to move from the current system where one is able to accept an additional
$800 of compensation for expenses, but to require that one itemizes those expenses for reimbursement. He
said this would allow for a person to receive up to that $800 amount if they record and document their expenses.
He said the committee's main concern was that the current policy does not record how the taxpayer's money is
to being spent. He noted the recommendation is for Council and the Mayor receive reimbursement if there is
support documentation and recording. He said there is a good statement in the compensation committee report
from 2008. He reiterated that statement and said the 2008 committee made an appeal to offset partial income
loss in order to encourage broader participation in this aspect of City life. He said, if the recommendation is
approved, the current $800 will then be applied to loss wages or income in which one estimates the time and
hours spent on City duties and what that person would get paid during that time and that this be included on an
itemized reimbursement request. He said the committee is recommending that the Councilmembers be able to
receive reimbursement for loss of income and expenses. He said the committee has created a sample form for
the reimbursement requests.
Oliver read the recommendations as stated on the agenda item cover sheet given to Council:
1. The $300 a month for council members and $450 a month for the mayor should be continued, and this payment should be +
rendered.
2. The optional $800 a month supplementary compensation should be continued, with this amount a cap on maximum month]
strongly that the argument for this payment made in the 2008 report was sound — that it provides a financial basis for encourac
citizens. However, we also felt that it was important to compensate council members for out of pocket expenses incurred by vir

Mayor thanked Oliver and the compensation committee for their work.
Speaker, Ross Hunter, said transparency is important and noted it is key to good representation. He said he
does not think the electorate is aware of the amount that they are paying the Council. He said he would request
that the City put in some sort of auditing system. He said it is important for the community to know how much
money they are paying the Council. He said he requests that between now and second reading, each member
of Council tell the community how much money they have taken. He asked about those amounts and if
expenses were recorded.
Oliver reviewed the City Charter and what it says on this issue. He said the committee thought it was not its job
to review the past and that is beyond the committee's purview to do so. He said, though information on salary is
not published, the information is a matter of public record and can be requested. Oliver read only the caption of
the Ordinance on first reading after having satisfied the requirements of the City Charter. Oliver described the
Ordinance and said it goes back and modifies an Ordinance that was passed four years ago. He continued to
describe the many aspects of the Ordinance.
Eason had questions about the Ordinance and its format. Sokolow and Oliver clarified the Ordinance and how it
is laid out. Brainard reviewed his understanding of the current compensation or salary for Council. Oliver
clarified that the current compensation amount is $300 a month for Council, $450 for the Mayor, plus an $800 a
month optional stipend if the person chooses to accept it. Oliver said the $300 and $450 is a supplement to the
Councilmember's income and the extra $800 is to offset loss of income and expenses. Brainard said that loss
of income and the justification for the extra $800 is subjective and added he likes the compensation as it stands
today. Ross complimented the committee on their work. He asked and Oliver said his definition of normal
working hours is what is considered to be, in a person's business or profession, a normal day's work. Ross
asked and Oliver said the committee did not look at the difference between the Council and Mayor's salary.
Oliver said it is difficult because people make money in many ways. He said, without accounting, there is no
way for people to understand how and why someone is being compensated with the optional amount. Oliver
was asked to explained how the committee was selected.
Sansing clarified his understanding of the recommendation. Oliver agreed and said, in some cases, there would
not be lost salary. Sansing said, being self-employed, City business takes up 25% of his work day. He said it is
a time consuming job. He added he has no qualms saying he loses income as a Councilmember and he
receives the current $800 optional stipend. He said he is satisfied with what the Council currently receives. He
said he would like for the compensation to stay where it is. Berryman said she agrees with this Ordinance and
the fact that people need to record their expenses. She spoke about her time as both a Councilmember and a
state employee. She said she took a cut in her pay in order to serve on the Council. She said, because she is a
state employee, she can not accept the stipend provided by the City. She noted, she likes the Ordinance, but
added she still can not accept any expenses. Berryman said she just wants all Councilmembers to do the same
thing and account for their loss wages and expenses. Sansing spoke about making requests for expense
reimbursement and how it would work each month for the Council. He added the previous committee said the
stipend did not require receipts. Sansing asked and Oliver confirmed that Sansing can still take tax out of the
$800 amount.
Motion by Oliver, second by Eason to approve the Ordinance on first reading.
Mayor reviewed the motion and recommendations brought to Council by the compensation committee. Mayor
said and Oliver confirmed the $800 expense reimbursement in terms of loss of wages would not apply to
members who are retired because they are not receiving wages. Ross asked about the example expense
reimbursement form given to Council. He said he does not see how this enhances the Council's transparency.
Oliver and Ross continued to speak about the expense form. Oliver said the form states it can not fully
compensate a Councilmember for their time. Approved 6-1 (Ross opposed)
O Consideration and possible action to approve purchase of a 2009 Pierce Fire Engine from Siddons Fire
Apparatus through the BuyBoard contract purchase price of $302,660 -- Robert Fite, Fire Chief and Micki
Rundell, Chief Financial Officer
Fite reviewed the item and said this is a dual purpose engine that will serve both the airport fire protection as
well as normal fire response for fire district number four. He described the truck and said, through the sale of a
used quint as well as other expenses, they can purchase this new engine. Motion by Berryman, second by
Brainard to approve the purchase.
Berryman commended the fire chief and Brandenburg for their work on this problem. She said she appreciates
City Council Meeting Minutes/
Page 5 of 8 Pages
the fact that they are going to a less expensive model. Ross asked and Fite said the estimated useful life of this
engine is 13 years. Brainard thanked staff for their work and providing a wealth of information to Council.
Approved 5-0 (Sansing, Oliver absent)
P Consideration and possible action to approve the purchase of cellular and data phone service from Nextel
dba Sprint and AT&T through the Department of Information Resource (DIR) State of Texas purchasing
contracts for the estimated annual amount of $59,025.96 -- Marsha Iwers, Purchasing Manager and Micki
Rundell, Chief Financial Officer
Oliver returned to the dais.
Iwers reviewed the item and said, on February 9th, the Council approved $50,000 for cell phone service through
March 2011. Iwers said the city implemented changes to the cell phone policy to encourage cost savings. She
said staff has been able to reduce cell phone costs by as much as $25,000 annually. Ross asked and Iwers
spoke about the employees who were assigned cell phones and why. Rundell said the department and division
directors decide whether or not an employee should have a cell phone. Rundell said many of these people take
work orders in the field. She said those people do not have computers, but only blackberries.
Motion by Eason, second by Brainard to approve the purchase.
Brainard asked that Council receive the criteria used to determine which employees should receive a cell phone.
Ross asked and Iwers said the criteria varies by department. Rundell spoke about finance and why certain
people have the phones. Approved 6-0 (Sansing absent)
Q Consideration and possible approval of Task Order #3 amending the existing project management contract
to Westin Engineering of $52,000 to fund subcontractor expenses to implement the new network design and
migrate the City's technology from a Novell environment to an Active Directory environment -- Leticia Zavala,
Project Manager; Mike Peters, IT Director and Micki Rundell, Chief Financial Officer
Peters reviewed the item and said staff did not have the necessary skill sets internally to manage this sort of
transition. He said it was an extension effort that took about two months to complete. He said the initial attempt
was unsuccessful but they were able to take a second shot at it two weeks ago and we able to complete the
transition. Brainard said the progress the IT department has made in the past six to twelve months is
phenomenal. Brainard said, in the longer scheme of things, this is a relatively small amount of money.
Motion by Brainard, second by Oliver to approve the task order.
Ross said IT has done a fantastic job. Ross asked and Zavala said there were contingency funds reserved for
items that they could not predict related to this project. Zavala said she has learned that at least 15%
contingency is appropriate. Approved 6-0 (Sansing absent)
R Consideration and possible action to approve the annual payment for the operation of the county -wide radio

Motion by Ross, second by Berryman to approve the payment.
Ross asked and Jones said some employees have both cell phones and wireless radios. Eason said here are
different uses for both of those tools and Brandeburg described why some employees need access to both.
Approved 6-0 (Sansing absent)

how it will be used. Mayor said and Elkins confirmed this is for larger projects that City staff can not handle

Brainard asked and Elkins said this is an expense of up to $2 million a year. Elkins said this is an "up to"
