DD -2. Second Reading of an
Ordinance adding a
new Chapter
9.13 to the
Code
of Ordinances relating to it
Juvenile Curfew" -- Paul E.
Brandenburg, City
Manager and
Patricia E.
Carls,
City Attorney
Brandenburg gave a brief history of the purpose of the ordinance and Council's response to the first reading. He
noted the City has received feedback regarding the daytime curfew. He said the Municipal Judge also had
some suggestions for modification, as well. He recommended the removal of the daytime curfew.
Speaker, Jim Dillon, with extra minutes from Nancy Dillon, said he thinks the City of Georgetown is only creating
a curfew ordinance because all of the surrounding cities have those curfews. He said the City is restricting the
liberties of citizens, and he said he would not tolerate the government telling the parents how to raise their kids.
He claimed the city "caved in" to a little pressure regarding the immigrant workers, and instead turned their
attention to directing parents and children.
Speaker, Peggy Moore, said she would support the removal of the daytime curfew because there is already
state law regarding truancy. She asked everyone in the homeschool community who was in support of what she
had just said to please stand.
Speaker, Sue Schrowang, thanked the Council and staff for being willing to listen and answer questions. She
said she was speaking for Georgetown Christian Home Educators and would like to see the daytime curfew
removed. She said it would place undue restrictions on law-abiding citizens and interfere with the upbringing
and education of children, making them guilty until they prove their innocence. She said her children have many
activities in town during the day for field trips, bowling, the library, etc. She said many homeschool students
volunteer for service in Georgetown, and they don't always stay home between 9:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.
Speaker, Steve Meyer, said he did some research regarding the original California ordinance that was struck
down by the California Supreme Court. He said if he gives his children permission to attend a late movie and it
lets out at midnight or later, why should the Police Department penalize them.
Berryman said she brought this up for the LifeSteps organization and parents who are trying to curb underage
drinking. She said she also heard from the Police Department that students from other areas hang out in
Georgetown because there is no curfew. She said the police have been supportive, and the community has
been in support, but she agrees that the daytime curfew needs to be re -structured. She said some parents
struggle to control their kids, and this curfew would give them an "extra tool" to assist them with that control.
Motion by Ross, second by Berryman to approve the ordinance with the following changes: on Page 1, (A) (2)
change P.M. to A.M; on Page 1, (A) strike (3) as it is redundant with state law under the Education Code; on
Page 2, include the new definition of "school activity" meaning a field trip or other educational activity organized
and chaperoned by the minor's school, or by the minor's parent, if the minor is homeschooled; on Page 3, (B)
use "within" in place of "with;" on Page 3 (A) (6) include the word, "activity" after the word school and include "a"
before "religious;" on Page 4, Section 9.13.050. Penalties (A) add: "and shall be punishable by a fine not to
exceed $500.00." Berryman asked for community service instead of a fine. Carls said the Municipal Judge
could use his discretion.
Brandenburg read only the caption of the ordinance on second reading.
Sansing said he wants to go on record saying he will vote for this, but he thinks it should be more punishment to
the parents and not to the kids.
Eason said she has heard discussion regarding adding back in the defense for children that are out on an
errand with direction from their parent or guardian. Her suggestion was considered a friendly amendment by
Ross.
Brainard noted that Paragraph A on page 4 gives the officer discretion.
Berryman suggested that Eason's amendment be looked at separately.
Vote on the motion: Approved 7-0.
Motion by Eason, second by Oliver under Section 9.13.030. Defenses, Item (A) (2), that was previously
stricken, be re -introduced, which reads: "On an errand at the direction of the minor's parent or guardian, without
any detour or stop;" saying this is an aid to the officer. Sansing concurred. Berryman said she had concern at
first, but after speaking with the officers, it is quickly verified by telephone. Vote on the motion: Approved 7-0.
Speaker, Dave Graham, asked for clarification to the wording that Ross read. He was given a copy of Ross'
handout. Carls explained the changes.
Speaker, Sandy Van Goethen, said she lives across from a park where kids gather and most of them are older
City Council Meeting Minutes/August 12, 2008
Page 3 of 10 Pages
than 17, so the officers were unable to do anything about it. She said the news of this curfew and the unlit parks
will assist keeping the kids from other towns out of Georgetown after hours.
Oliver said he had some concern about the 11:00 p.m., but understands that kids work late.
Speaker, Judy Penterton, said she is 100% in favor of the nighttime curfew. She said she is the manager at
Villas of Berry Creek.
Motion by Berryman, second by Ross to approve the newly incorporated language as amended.
W Consideration
and possible
action on a Site Plan
for
Sierra Ridge Housing, located at Washam Drive and
Janis Drive --
Jennifer Bills,
Housing Coordinator
and
Elizabeth Cook, Director of Planning and Development
Bills gave history of the process for approval of Sierra Ridge housing. She noted that site planning is generally
an administrative approval, but it was moved by the Council at the last occasion that Council wanted to see the
site plan to ensure how the trees were treated. Bills assured Council that the site plan meets all requirements.
With an overhead display she indicated the trees on the site plan, and explained to Council how the site plan will
conform with the UDC regulations by mitigating the trees to be removed.
Sansing asked if the drainage issues on Northwest Blvd. have been dealt with. Jim Cummins of Steger and
Bizzell said there are a number of drainage issues, and their plan is to provide storm sewer to convey the water
that accumulates on their site down to the Interstate. He said there will need to be additional work done on
other properties in the area to correct the entire situation. Sansing expressed further concern about the issues
on Northwest Blvd.
Garver asked if the City should move forward if there are still drainage issues in the area.
Eason
said the reason this was
brought forward
was the issue of the trees. Motion by Sansing, second by
Oliver
to approve the site plan.
Approved 5-2.
(Berryman and Brainard opposed)
U Consideration and possible action to approve a resolution ordering a bond election for November 4, 2008,
providing for the City to contract with the Williamson County Elections Administrator to conduct said election and
providing an effective date -- Micki Rundell, Director Finance & Administration and Patricia Carls, City Attorney
Rundell explained the item and noted this resolution includes the preliminary ballot language and introduced
outside counsel, Carol Polombo. Polombo said the most important issue is the proposition language. She said
there are two proposed bond issues, one for streets and roads, and one for park facilities. She said the City
doesn't know the exact timing of the issues and therefore, provides some flexibility and an "up -to" amount. She
read the proposed ballot language.
Sattler asked if the ballot could be made into three propositions, suggesting proposition 2 be split between the
two parks components: Garey Park and the Amphitheatre, and the third proposition as the remainder of the
parks. Polombo said she would need to bring the exact language back to Council on August 26, which is the
deadline for submitting the ballot language. Sattler said he is concerned about the tax increase and if it were
just two propositions, the voters would vote to kill the second proposition. Rundell said if Council gives that
direction, they will bring back the language at the next Council Meeting and call the election at that time.
Sansing said he would prefer to see San Gabriel separated out from Garey Park. There was further comment.
Garver asked for a motion. Motion by Sattler, second by Berryman that the propositions for the parks be split
into two.
There was disussion in oppositon from Oliver who said the parks proposition is an outlined approach to the
future of the parks system. There was further discussion. Rundell said she will bring back an item on the next
agenda to set the amount for the tax rate, and that will determine the amount for the bond issues. Eason said
the taxes will not be increased for anyone whose taxes are frozen. Berryman said she is concerned that the
Garey Ranch cannot be removed from the issue. She said she doesn't want that item lost because of voters not
liking other elements of the issue. Ross, Brainard, and Oliver expressed the opinion that the proposistions
should remain the same as they are.
Vote on the motion: Defeated 5-2. (Eason, Oliver, Ross, Sansing and Brainard opposed)
Motion by
Berryman, second by
Sattler that Garey Ranch
become a separate
item in
the
proposal.
There was
discussion
in opposition. Vote on
the motion: Defeated
4-3. (Eason, Oliver,
Ross,
and
Brainard
opposed)
Brainard expressed concern about the phrase "but not limited to." Polombo said they need some flexibility for
City Council Meeting Minutes/August 12, 2008
Page 4 of 10 Pages
other needs that could come up. Motion by Brainard, second by Berryman to strike the language, "but not
limited to." There were questions and comments. Mayor asked and Polombo responded if there were money
left over, it would be used to pay down the debt. Vote on the motion: Approved 7-0.
Motion by
Brainard, second by Berryman to strike
the word "on"
and
use
the word "for" SH29. Polombo
suggested
adding "to wit." Brainard
and
Berryman
agreed
to
include
that
in their motion. Approved 7-0.
