F Announcements and Comments from City Manager
Brandenburg made the following announcements:
The City of Georgetown, along with Williamson County and other area cities and organizations, is sponsoring
the 2007 Games of Texas, which began on July 21 st and continues through July 29thth. For more information
on the 2007 Games of Texas and various venues, visit the Web site at www.taaf.com/gamesoftexas.
The Police Department encourages neighbors to get to know one another by holding a block party on National
Night Out, an annual night out against crime on August 7. For an application to register a block party for
National Night Out and for more information, please go to the City's web site at www.georgetown.oM.
Sansing recognized Scouts in Troop 64 from of St. Helen's Catholic Church.
G Public Wishing to Address Council
- Gordon Baker and R. C. Lumpkin regarding the Main Street Manager position
Baker acknowledged in the audience, the Chair of the Convention and Visitors Bureau, R. C. Lumpkin, and
the Vice Chair of the Main Street Board, Kirk Kriegel, and asked Council to reconsider having two separate
positions, a Convention and Visitors Bureau Director and a Main Street Program Director. He said he feels
this is a policy issue. He noted that the Convention and Visitors Bureau is funded completely through
hotel/motel tax; and that would fund that position. He said currently the hotel/motel tax funds pay half of the
salary of the Main Street Director, and whether the Director for Main Street becomes a part of Economic
Development or stays in the program as today, the Main Street Program needs a dedicated director. He
said in addition to establishing the Downtown Master Plan, the Council has implemented a TIF to carry out
the Master Plan, and it seems logical to have a postion to focus on the downtown. He said both programs
are expanding and there is only one person to deal with them. He said there are more properties coming in
that will add to the hotel/motel tax. He said Main Street is no longer a small program, and it needs
someone in the position to understand urban planning, economic development, and marketing of the
downtown. He said advisory boards do not set policy, they advise the Council. He said their advice to the
Council is to recommend two separate positions.
H Action from Executive Session
Motion by Sansing, second by Eason that the City Council authorize the City Manager to sign the letter of

Legislative Regular Agenda
Council will individually consider and possibly take action on any or all of the following items:
Sansing asked that Item Y-4 be brought forward because developer, John Gavurnik, recently had hip surgery and
needed to leave as soon as possible.
Y4. Public bearing and First Reading on an Ordinance Rezoning from "AG, Agricultural" district to `RS,
Residential Single -Family" district, with the condition that there are no single-family attached units permitted, for
two tracts consisting of 0.775 and 11.655 acres in the A. Flores Survey (A-235) to be known as Katy
Crossing Subdivision, Section 7, located on FM -971, west of Katy Crossing Boulevard -- Elizabeth Cook,
Principal Planner and Bobby Ray, AICP, Director of Planning and Development
Cook explained the item, saying in March the Council did not approve the proposed PUD rezoning, and
Gavurnik is now proposing just single-family residences and will not put attached single-family in the
development, even though that type of structure is allowed in the zoning. She said staff supports this rezoning
and the Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously with the condition that no single-family attached
be permitted.
The Public Hearing was opened at 6:13 p.m. There were no comments. The Public Hearing was closed at 6:13
p.m. Cook read only the caption of the ordinance on first reading after having satisfied the requirements of the
City Charter,
Speaker, Developer, John Gavurnik, provided a handout to the Council and explained that he has responded to
three requests from the neighborhood. He said he will comply with the area that is deed restricted to houses of
1800 square feet or more; he will name the subdivision something different than Katy Crossing, such as Bastian
Place; and he will do an entryway separate from Katy Crossing. He displayed a location and preliminary site
plan for Council's consideration.
Motion by Berryman, second by Snell to approve the ordinance on first reading. Snell commended Gavurnik.
Approved 6-0. (Oliver absent)
K Consideration and possible action to purchase mobile CAD mapping application in the estimated amount of
$33,000 -- Patrick Hurley, Information Management Lt. and David Morgan, Chief of Police (Snell asked (pulled
by Brainard for discussion)
Snell asked and Morgan explained that this will be funded through savings in the General Fund. Brainard asked
Morgan to explain the item to be purchased. He said the Police Department has just completed a two-year
mapping upgrade in June, but this product was not available prior to the upgrade. He said they are requesting to
purchase this item too late to get it in the budget.
Motion by Snell, second Sattler to approve the purchase. Approved 6-0. (Oliver absent)
P Consideration and possible
action to approve a contribution of $6,500.00 to the
Georgetown Sertoma Club to
defray expenses for the 4th
of July Fireworks Display due to
a shortfall in revenue caused by the canceling of
the vendors in San Gabriel
Park due to rain/flooding -- Gabe
Sansing, Mayor Pro
Tem and Councilmember
City Council Meeting Minutes/July 24, 2007
Page 3 of 8 Pages
District 2 (pulled for discussion by Snell)
Snell said he spoke with Doug Smith after the last Council Meeting, and discovered that the Sertoma Club
actually lost approximately $10,500, so he suggested that the Council approve a contribution of $7,500 from the
Council Contingency Fund. There was discussion. Motion by Snell, second by Eason to approve $7,500.
Approved 6-0. (Oliver absent)
Q Discussion and possible action regarding City of Georgetown cost participation for the Texas Life Sciences
Commercialization Center -- Paul E. Brandenburg, City Manager and Mark Thomas, Economic Development
Director
Brandenburg noted that there had been a workshop about this Center last night. He said staff will now put
together a performance agreement containing all the details for Council's consideration.
R Consideration and possible action to approve the purchase of hardware, software and professional
services from iNX Inc. in an amount not to exceed $31000 -- Dennis Schoenborn, Information Technology
Director and Tom Yantis, Assistant City Manager
Schoenborn explained the item. Snell asked and Rundell confirmed that this is a timing issue, saying the cash
funding is available at this time, and $55,000 will be saved by purchasing early, so this will be pulled from the
2007108 budget. Brainard asked for an explanation of how $55,000 is saved. Schoenborn said INX, Inc. will
allow the savings because this is the end of their inventory time for the year and they are willing to offer the
discount to move product. Schoenborn said there is a 45-60 day lead time on some of this equipment and
software, so if they waited until the next fiscal year, they would not be able to move into the new location until it
is available. Brainard asked about the internal service fund and Rundell responded it is an amount set up each
year to fund the cost to maintain all of the City's computer equipment, saying the fund is allocated according to
the number of computers and users throughout the City.
Motion by Berryman, second by Eason to approve the purchase. Approved 6-0. (Oliver absent)
S Consideration and possible action to authorize the City to enter into the 2007-2008 City of Georgetown
employee health and dental benefit contracts with Humana and Aetna -- Kevin Russell, Director of Human
Resources and Civil Service
Russell said major changes are being made in the benefits contracts this year. With a slide presentation, he
explained the health care proposal for this budget year. He noted that a new provider will be able to reduce the
increased cost as quoted by the existing provider. He displayed the difference between the HMO and PPO
plans. He noted that the PPO plan provides more doctors and more pharmacies. He said this new PPO plan will
have a high deductible plan (a minimum deductible of $1,100 is required by law). He said the copay for an
individual will be $1,500 with $3,000 for a family deductible, saying the employees will be able to set up Health
Savings Accounts (HSA's) to use to save money on premiums or save for future care; carrying over year after
year, and never forfeited. He said employees will not be required to participate in the high deductible health plan
this first year, so there will be a choice of the High Deductible or a Humana plan for this year that will allow
reduced co -pays and a maximum out of pocket expense. He said the HSA is only available in the High
Deductible Plan. Russell said there will be preventative healthcare that includes biometric testing, annual
physicals, and flu shots for employees. There were questions from the Council.
Sattler asked and Russell responded that the dental benefits will remain with Aetna because Aetna provides a
DMO Plan and a PDN Plan, saying employees can change back and forth on a monthly basis. He said
preventative care is completely covered with both plans.
Brainard said he thinks . * that by
permitting employees, electing single coverage, to pay zero for health care premiums, co -pays, and deductibles
they are shielded from market forces that could reduce market costs. Russell said all employees get the $300
employee coverage whether they are single with no family, married with children, or married with no children. He
said the employee with a child will get $50 more, and the employee with a family will get $150 more. Berryman
asked that next year the City explore what is being provided locally. Russell said no provider has ever given the
City a guarantee for after the first year, so the City goes out for new bids every year for health insurance. (*as
corrected by Brainard at the August 14, 2007 Council Meeting.)
Motion by Snell, second by Berryman to approve Humana for health insurance and Aetna for dental insurance
this year. Approved 6-0. (Oliver absent)
T Consideration
and possible action to approve payment for professional services provided
by Labor
Finders in
the estimated
annual
amount
of
$150,000
--
Kevin
Russell,
Director
of
Human
Resources
and Civil
Service
City Council Meeting Minutes/July 24, 2007
Page 4 of 8 Pages
Russell said Labor Finders provides contract labor for several departments, sucn as streets and meter readers.
Motion by Berryman, second by Eason to approve payment. Sattler confirmed that temporary and contract
employees do not receive benefits. Russell said Labor Finders is mainly used by departments for extra work that
they're not able to perform. Russell said not all of the $150,000 will be used this year. Brainard asked Russell to
get back with him on the hourly rate for this contract labor. Brainard asked and Rundell estimated that $130,000
was paid to Labor Finders last year. Approved 6-0. (Oliver absent)
U Consideration
and possible
action
to add an additional School Resource Officer at Georgetown High School --
Roland Waits,
Captain and
David
Morgan, Chief of Police
Morgan explained the item, saying the school district will fund 50% of the salary. He said this additional officer is
to be assigned to the new high school campus. Motion by Berryman, second by Sattler to approve. Approved
6-0. (Oliver absent)
V Consideration and possible action to approve an Emergency Services contract between the City of Georgetown
and Williamson County Emergency Services District (ESD) # 8 to provide fire and emergency services --
Anthony Lincoln, Fire Chief
Lincoln explained the item and said this contract has been approved by the ESD Board as presented to the
Council. He said the contract amount this year is $897,560. Brandenburg said before the ESD payments
began, the City was receiving only $60,000 a year for out -of -city service, which never covered the actual cost of
providing service. Motion by Berryman, second by Eason to approve. Approved 6-0. (Oliver absent)
W Consideration and possible action to add three alternate positions to the Planning and Zoning Commission for
immediate inclusion -- Gabe Sansing, Mayor Pro Tem and Councilmember District 2
Sansing said previously the Council removed the alternates off of all the boards and commissions, but he said
to be a commissioner on the Planning and Zoning Commission (P & Z), requires some extra education, so he is
bringing this item in order to add alternates back to the P & Z, and only to the P & Z, so they can gain some
experience and be ready to fill regular positions on the board when needed.
Speaker, Don Padfield, said he is one of the newest P & Z Commissioners, and said he feels fortunate to have
served as an alternate for several months before becoming a regular commissioner. He said he believes the
City will be better served if future commissioners have an opportunity to learn from the current commissioners.
He encouraged Council to reinstate alternates to the P & Z.
Speaker, Harry Gibbs, said he is the Chair of the P & Z, but is speaking as an individual. He said alternates are
like highly -drafted rookies and will perform better if they sit on the bench and work their way into the starting
lineup by observing and then doing. He said in the coming year there are no alternates and five commissioners
are retiring by ordinance; all of this at a time when perhaps some of the biggest projects Georgetown has seen
will come before the Commission. He asked Council to bring back the alternate program.
Speaker, Will
Moore, said he's been on the
P & Z for five years; first
year as an alternate, and is now also
serving as Chair
this year of the Zoning Board of Adjustment (ZBA).
He said the issues with ZBA have been
resolved, and
he's not asking for alternates
for ZBA. He said being
an alternate provides valuable training; and
every current
member began serving as an
alternate. He said it is a
good program and he would like to see it
reinstated.

Sansing said he brought
this item forward because
there are five
members coming off the P & Z in February
when their two, two-year
terms expire; with Patrick
Lawson being
the only member eligible to return. He said

of

and
he asked
that

be reinstated.
Motion by Berryman, second by Sansing to approve Sansing's suggested action of adding three alternate
positions to the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Motion by Snell, second by Eason to suggest a substitution of wording as distributed on the dais. He read the
following substitution motion: "that staff present to the Council no later than the first meeting in September, a
mechanism for providing no fewer than three Commissioners -in -training for the Planning and Zoning
Commission (P & Z). The purpose is to prepare persons for service on the P & Z, and they are specifically not
alternates. They would not participate in P & Z deliberations or voting. Commissioners -in -training would receive
first consideration in filling any vacancies on the Commission. Time served toward term limits would start once
the Commissioner -in -training becomes a "regular" member of the Commission. The service of a
Commissioner -in -training filling a position that is being vacated during a regular member's term would not count
towards term limits. If the proposal from staff is approved by Council, persons would be interviewed by the
Mayor (and any interview committee the Mayor may choose) and elected by the Council at the first meeting in
October."
City Council Meeting Minutes/July 24, 2007
Page 5 of 8 Pages
Snell said the "heart" of his substitution is to prevent alternates from voting and making decisions, saying the
applicant deserves deliberation from the same body and not having different people come in and vote. He said
he doesn't like the idea of alternates, but he wants to be responsive that these positions need to deal with a lot
of material; and if there were commissioners in training attending the meetings and reading the material, they
would be prepared to be appointed if a vacancy occurred.
Sansing said he suggested an open seat that rotates because it would give the alternates an opportunity to
serve. He said because Snell suggested that the Commissioners -in -training would not vote, he would not be
able to support Snell's substitute.
Motion by Sattler, second by Berryman that the Mayor be commissioned to extend the term of two of the retiring
existing commissioners so there would be a group of at least four experienced people on the P & Z and their
extension would be for one year only.
Sansing asked and Carls said this suggested change would need to be done by an ordinance approved by the
Council. Sattler said he was trying to get to accomplish the staggering so that the maximum number of members
lost per year would only be two or three.
Snell asked if the bylaws could provide for a staggering of terms. Carls said staggering is set up either in the
bylaws or in the enabling ordinance, but this year, there is staggering vs. term limits. Snell said there are two
issues, one is the solution to the short-term problem and the other is whether to have persons, who on occasion
vote on issues as part of their training, or persons being present and reading the material, but not voting.
Snell suggested
that Sattler's motion
be set
aside, then vote on
Snell's motion, then if Snell's motion is
defeated,
vote on Sansing's motion.
Sattler
agreed to set aside
his motion.
Eason said she served as a member of the P & Z and the Board of Adjustment with no alternates. She said the
members knew they had to educate themselves and be knowledgeable of the rules and regulations. She said
she is willing to support Snell's plan saying she likes the in -training idea because there would be people who
would commit to be trained and would get a clear idea of whether they were willing to serve in that position. She
said she believes in the past, people haven't always understood what their commitment would be. She said the
formal training needs to be brought back and given a chance rather than going back to alternates.
Brandenburg said he thinks it would be strange to allow people who are "in training" to vote. He called attention
to his handout, saying none of the other cities surveyed have alternates.
Berryman said she has talked to most of the P & Z members and they are in unison that they feel being able to
vote makes a difference in their training and experience. She said she feels it is imperative that alternates have
an opportunity to sit on the board in order to prepare themselves for making important decisions. She said
anyone who thinks they might be needed to serve will study the material and be ready to serve.
Eason said City Council has no training and there are no alternates for Council positions.
Vote on Snell's substitute motion: Tied 3 to 3. (Brainard, Berryman and Sansing opposed) Snell noted that
the tie represents a defeat.
Berryman suggested a friendly amendment
to Sansing's proposed
plan to not
have the rotating position
but
have
the three alternates
be there in case someone needs
to step
in and
take
a member's
place
on
the
dais.
Motion by Sansing, second by Berryman to approve commissioners in training to be added back to the P & Z,
requiring they meet all of the attendance requirements, and they would not rotate, but the trainees would step up
and vote if there were no quorum. Berryman said she thinks there needs to be a full seven -member board
serving at all times, but no rotating member from the alternates. Brainard said he was concerned about the
method by which alternates might be chosen to participate with the board and vote at any given time. He said
the public has a right to expect a specific, defined membership from a policy standpoint. He suggested that
there be a longer review and the decision not be made at this meeting.
Sansing asked to withdraw and restate his motion to resubmit Snell's motion to add commissioners -in -training
so people are ready to step up when the position is vacated, but they would not be called on to complete a
quorum or fulfill the seven -member board. Berryman withdrew her second. Snell seconded.
There was concern regarding parliamentary procedures. Snell said a super majority is required only for the
suspension of the rule; the vote to reconsider is a simple majority always, but the move to suspend the rules can
be made by anyone; and the motion to reconsider can only be made by someone on the prevailing side.
City Council Meeting Minutes/July 24, 2007
Page 6 of 8 Pages
Carls said whatever change is directed will need to come back to the Council us an ordinance for first and
second reading.
Mote on Sansing's restated motion: Approved 5-1. (Berryman opposed)(Oliver absent).
Motion by Sattler, second by Eason that the Mayor be charged with appointing up to two members of the
retiring P & Z Commissioners to extend their term for one year and this special appointment will sunset at the
end of one year. Snell pointed out this would still require an ordinance and two readings and Sansing suggested
a friendly amendment that the same dates apply. Approved 6-0. (Oliver absent)
8:21 p.m. - recessed
8:26 p.m. - resumed
X Forwarded from the Georgetown Utility System (GUS) Advisory Board
Consideration and possible action to approve a contract amendment between the City of Georgetown and
Camp, Dresser, and McKee, Inc. for professional services related to the design of the San Gabriel Wastewater
Treatment Plant Peak Flow and Irrigation Improvements for $581,200.00 -- Glenn Dishong, Water Services
Director and Jim Briggs, Assistant City Manager for Utility Operations
Dishong explained the item, saying this project allows the San Gabriel Wastewater Treatment Plant to take the
peak flows from the lift station and interceptor and allows the reuse irrigation system to be able to provide reuse
water to Southwestern University, ball fields in the Park, and at the Georgetown Country Club golf course. He
said this was approved by the Georgetown Utility System (GUS) Board. Motion by Berryman, second by Eason
to approve the contract amendment. Sattler confirmed that this is not a change order, but is an amendment to
the master contract. Sansing said he doesn't think its right to not go out for bids. Approved 5-1. (Sansing
opposed)(Oliver absent)

security procedures, hours for use and two-day rentals of the Georgetown Community Center -- Kimberly
