M Comments from outgoing District 3 Councilmember, Doug Smith -- Mayor Gary Nelon City Council Meeting Minutes/May 22, 2007 Page 2 of 7 Pages Smith said he has enjoyed his six years on the Council, has met a lot of people, and learned a lot about Georgetown and why people consider it a special place. He said he acquired an appreciation for city staff, and liked and respected all the other Councilmembers for the last six years. He said he knows Brainard will do a fine job representing District 3 and the rest of the City. He said he is proud of his work on Council, saying he was particularly proud of the balanced budget through Scenario H, and glad that the City budget no longer relied on utility funds. He said each year the budget has improved and become rational and disciplined. He said the "wants and needs" are always balanced with the funds available. He noted that the Council has modestly raised propety taxes, when necessary. He said the current budget process is good, saying Council makes the decisions, but the rational system and credit go to City Manager. He said he was quite impressed with Brandenburg's budget process last year. He said Georgetown is a rapidly growing city, but there is managed growth and small town atmosphere. He predicted infrastructure will remain a problem, but feels the Council is committed and will achieve a balance with historic preservation and vibrant economic activity. He said the goal should be to protect the acquifer, saying if a problem occurs, it will be serious. He advised the new Councilmembers to make sure that doesn't happen. He said every day he is more and more impressed with the new library. He said he really enjoyed the fact that this City Council has a lot of "comity," saying there may be difference of opinion, but never personal, and no hard feelings. He said he thinks the reason for the civility is the tone set by Mayor. He said he will he miss everyone and is continually asked what he will do with his spare time. He said he plans to continue his involvement with the Palace Theatre, the Circle of Care, and Sertoma; but if he gets bored, he may decide to run for Mayor next year. N Presentation of appreciation to outgoing District 4 Councilmember, Henry Carr -- Mayor Gary Nelon Mayor Nelon presented a plaque to Henry Carr for three years service as Councilmember for District 4. Speaker, Byron Raynie, said he admires the way the City Council works together on issues that impact Sun City and the entire City; and said he appreciates the way Carr has worked with the Council and staff. He said citizens of District 4 are pleased with what Carr has done and he looks forward to working with Sattler. Speaker, Don Padfield, thanked Carr for everything he has done. He said he looks forward to working with Sattler in the future, and thanked Smith and said he looks forward to working with Brainard. O Comments from outgoing District 4 Councilmember, Henry Carr --Mayor Gary Nelon Carr said over the years of service, he can't recall a single thing he accomplished by himself, saying it may not have taken a village, but it did take several people to get it done. He said there were good projects, and they required that staff members and the City Manager work as a team, with the support and tax dollars of constituents. He said he is proud of progress in many areas, such as: improved staffing, more and better equipment, better facilities and training of police and fire. He said the City has constructed new facilities and invested in the utility businesses, growing the enterprises and helping the General Fund. He said much was done to make financial management more efficient and less risky; and therefore, bond ratings are improved and there is much less risk on bond investments. He said transportation is very comprehensive, repairing older roads and completing and starting work on new roads. He said he thinks there is a need for more road funding. He said the City will be using the power of annexation and growing the city limits to protect the major centers for future economic activity and to protect the outlying areas of the City for water quality. He said downtown is thriving and the City has had initial success in creating affordable housing in the Old Mill Village. He said affordable housing is important, and the City needs to make it easier on the people who want to build affordable housing. He said some of Georgetown's sister cities are more aggressive in that. He noted that sales tax revenue is booming because of businesses coming or expanding. He said the city staff is ultra conservative in financial forecasting, saying they are a good professional staff that improves every year, getting better at their jobs. He said as a Councilmember, he tried hard to meet the needs across the entire City; saying, when a group had an issue, he tried to support them and vote in their favor. He said one of his disappointments is that the property tax base is highly dependent on residential property, saying the residential portion remains at about 70% of the total, and he is baffled about what to do about it. He also said he is disappointed about the Council's stand on connectivity, saying there will be 8,000 or more new homes constructed north of Sun City; and there will be more pass-through traffic that will conribute to major accidents. He said there are 45 neighborhoods in Sun City that are more connected than in any other part of Georgetown. He said the Council failed to listen to a large group of citizens who came to the Council Chamber to try to tell the Council about the issues. He warned the Council to be careful about the reactions of Sun City residents, and don't pretend to ignore their abilities, saying they are very highly organized and he feels they are under -represented on the Council. He said he is disappointed in the state and federal representatives, who he thinks don't do enough for Georgetown. He said some place in Texas is getting Georgetown's and the County's share. He said his time on the Council has been a good experience, and he thanked Paul for good and consistent professional help. He thanked his predecessor for making it possible for him to participate and thanked his constituents who made it all worth doing. He said he has confidence in Sattler and wishes him success.

Deck Construction in the amount of $162,730.00 -- Terry Jones, Support Services Construction Manager and Micki Rundell, Director of Finance and Administration Jones explained to Council that parking is difficult at the Parks Administration building, saying there are only 15 spaces available and no accessible route to the lot on Walden Drive. He said they will be adding spaces by extending the lot to the east and south around the building. Motion by Eason, second by Brainard to approve the award of bid to H. Deck Construction. Approved 7-0. BB Consideration and possible action for the selection of a Construction Manager -at -Risk to administer the construction/renovation of the Recreation Center -- Terry Jones, Support Service Construction Manager and Micki Rundell, Director of Finance and Administration Jones distributed a new handout. He noted that Council had established a selection committee on March 13 for evaluating construction firms for the manager at risk. He said 10 firms submitted qualifications. He listed the specifications. He said the top five firms went on to step two, involving interviews and financial and reference checks. He said from those five firms, the selection committee recommends Chasco Construction for an amount not to exceed $969,202. Sattler asked and Jones said total construction costs are unknown at this time. Jones said he will come back with a guaranteed max price in two months for Council consideration. Sattler said he just went through a similar type of process on the school board, but he believes the construction fee and the general condiditions fee seem high on this bid. He said the raw numbers are much higher than what the school district paid for new construction. He asked if this is the standard for what is charged today. Jones said this bid is high, but is considerably lower than the bids from the other four responders. Sansing said because he is in this same business, he thinks these fees are very reasonable at today's rates. Sattler said if Sansing and staff feel comfortable with the numbers, he will go along with them. Motion by Eason, second by Oliver to approve the selection. Sattler asked if the construction will take away space from the athletic events and was told the vacant lot to the north of the recreation center will be needed as a lay down lot. Sattler asked if this item could be delayed for two weeks. It was determined that this process was advertised properly and the selection committee has made its decision. Approved 6-1. (Sattler opposed) CC Consideration and possible action to approve the purchase of advertising for personnel services in the Austin American Statesman in the estimated annual amount of $90,000.00 -- Kevin Russell, Director of Human Resources Russell told Council that last fiscal year the City added 35 1i2 positions, at a 12 to 15 position turnover rate. He said he needs to reach the largest possible pool of applicants so they use the Statesman , Sun and newspapers from surrounding areas. He said the amount used at the Statesman is approaching the need to come to Council for permision to spend more money. He estimated the amount to be close to $90,000, saying it is not definite that the full amount would need to be used. Motion by Snell, second by Berryman to approve the purchase. Brainard asked and was told that the City does use all the free on-line services available and some pay on-line services, but the printed ads give the majority of results. Russell noted that for police officers and firefighters there is a list to draw from in case there are any openings. He said at this time they are advertising for a new list. He said a small advertisement in the San Antonio Express was estimated to be over $2,000.00. Brandenburg agreed that when advertising for police officers they were shocked at the estimated costs. He said Sunday additions are very expensive. Russell noted that there are currently 11 vacant positions city-wide. He said all existing fire and police positions are filled right now. There were more questions and comments from the Council. It was determined that the $90,000 is an amount that will go into the Human Resources budget, and then go to the Statesman , if needed. vote on the motion: Approved 7-0, DD Consideration and possible action to authorize staff to execute the appropriate agreements and contracts and make the necessary expenditures to facilitate the realignment of Blue Ridge Drive -- Paul Brandenburg, City Manager Brandenburg noted there is no action to be taken on this item and he informed Council that the County has agreed to convey the required property to the City.

He said the City of Georgetown has received petitions with over 220 signatures from property owners in the subdivision, saying more than 2/3 are absentee landowners. He said the petitioners have asked to come into Georgetown's Extra Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ). He said Leander has passed an ordinance on emergency reading that their population has reached above 25,000, and therefore allowing their ETJ to expand. He noted that Georgetown has been expecting for the past two years, to bring these properties into the Georgetown ETJ, and will move foward with the first reading of the ordinance tonight, and hold the second reading until the property is released from Leander. Brandenburg said he and Mayor Nelon will meet with the Leander Mayor and City Manager to see if they can change Leander's plans to take in Gabriel's Overlook Subdivision. Polasek read only the caption of the ordinance after having satisfied the requirements of the City Charter. Speaker, David Moore, told Council he has lived in Gabriel's Overlook since July of 2004, and he serves on the Board of Directors of the Property Owners Association. He said he was just made aware of this issue about two months ago. He told Council the overwhelming majority of the feedback is that a majority of the property owners consider themselve to be Georgetown residents. He said they own businesses in Georgetown, dine in Georgetown restaurants, and shop in Georgetown. He said many have made comments about putting up "for sale" signs if the subdivision becomes other than Gerogetown. He said he and his neighbors are eager to do what is needed to put them in Georgetown's ETJ. He said they have sent Leander a petition and a letter asking to be drawn out of the Leander ETJ. Speaker, Mark Truslow, also a board member in Gabriel's Overlook Property Owners Association, told Council two years ago he relocated his family manufacturing business that had been in California since 1946. He said, after visiting with Mark Thomas, they decided to come here for the business and for the employees to live and raise their families. He told Council his business is on the north side of Georgetown and he employs six people, whose families work, play and shop in Georgetown. Speaker, Mary Duffy Lemke, told Council she lives in Gabriel's Overlook and her husband is on the Homeowners Board. She said they looked everywhere, found Georgetown and moved 18 months ago. She said they like a community with a sense of purpose and like the growing charm of downtown. She said they shop and dine in Georgetown, and she feels and believes she lives in Georgetwon. She thanked the staff who has kept them aware of issues so they could run their petition drive. Speaker, Randall Rice, said he lives in Gabriel's Overlook, and had an opportunity to live anywhere but chose to live in Central Texas. He said they settled in Round Rock, but looked elsewhere, and ended up in Georgetown. He said he was impressed with the people saying they were happy to sign the petition. He asked that Georgetown act aggressivly because "the other city" is acting aggressively. Brainard asked to have the legal issue explained. Mayor Nelon explained the determination of 25,000 population extends the ETJ to two miles. He said Leander has taken pre-emptive action aside from the annexation action at Ronald Reagan Blvd. He said if the first reading of the ordinance passes, he and Brandenburg will meet with the Leander Mayor and City Manager to see if negotiation will allow Georgetown to take in Gabriel's Overlook and other tracts, such as the Lively Tract.
