Legislative Regular Agenda

Councilmember Sansing arrived on the dais.
Q Discussion and possible action to direct staff regarding the proposed revised draft of Chapter 8.32 of the Code
of Ordinances of the City of Georgetown relating to "Smoking in Public Places" -- Paul E. Brandenburg, City
Manager
Brandenburg noted that the current ordinance was adopted in 1990 and modified in 1994. He said a review of
the ordinance came to the Council's attention in April regarding a request for smoking at a bingo hall. He said
that request was denied, and Council requested further discussion. He noted that a public meeting was held on
June 1, and Council held a workshop on June 25, and a public discussion on June 26. He said smoking
ordinances from other cities were reviewed, and staff was asked to research the current language regarding
school districts and hospitals, benevolent societies, restaurants, motels and hotels, bars and cocktail lounges,
and ordinance enforcement. He described the changes being proposed in each section, beginning with
definitions. He reviewed the section titled "Exemptions." He noted that with Council's input tonight, staff would
bring back an ordinance for their consideration at a future meeting.
Motion by Smith, second by Carr to approve going forward with the ordinance as written.
Speaker, Dr. Ed Sherwood, told Council he is a physician, and is appointed as the Health Authority for
Williamson County and for the Williamson County and Cities Health District. He said he was speaking on behalf
of all residents of Georgetown, smokers and non-smokers alike. He said the Centers for Disease Control says
City Council Meeting Minutes/October 24, 2006
Page 3 of 18 Pages
there are over 400,000 deaths each year caused by smoking. He said tobacco is a more difficult addictive
substance than alcohol or drugs, saying only 6% of people who wish to quit smoking are successful. He quoted
many statistics.
Speaker, Bill Fischer, told
Council he operates the Office Lounge. He thanked the City Manager and staff for
conveying the thoughts from the public meetings and
providing notification
of the process. He said his
customers are concerned
that they will not be able to
continue smoking at
the lounge.
Speaker, Jim Locke, speaking for the Elks' Lodge, told Council he takes exception to paragraph F on page 4.
He said the Elk's Club runs a moderately successful bingo operation and all the proceeds go to charity. He said
the average age of the bingo players is 65+ years and the majority of them smoke and will not come if they
cannot smoke.
Speaker, Judy Pouncey, speaking on behalf of Smoke -Free Georgetown, which includes the American Cancer
Society, American Lung Association, American Heart Association, and the Georgetown PTA, told Council they
are working to educate and promote the cause of a smoke-free Georgetown. She said their greatest concern is
the ventilaiton component, saying there is not much evidence that it works. She noted that her email and letter
contain the specifics on that issue.
Speaker, Kendall Young, with additional time from Frances Young, told Council he is a biochemist by training,
holds a PHD, and is board certified in clinical chemistry. He said he has researched cancer and worked on the
heart/lung machine, He said the employer is responsible for protecting the environment for his employees. He
urged Council not to allow exceptions to a complete smoking ban.
Speaker, Sherri Babcock, said it has been 20 years since she last smoked and admitted that smoking is very
addictive, saying she is now 10 years cancer free. She said she is opposed to paragraphs B and D, saying that
is compromise. She said there will be large investments in special ventilation systems that will not work.
Snell said the
purpose of his
proposed revisions is
to prohibit smoking in
any future bar areas within restaurants
and bars or cocktail lounges,
while exempting any
current and complying
establishments.
Motion by Snell, second by Sansing to amend to instruct staff to amend the draft smoking ordinance to clarify
the difference between "bar" or "cocktail lounge" and "areas within a restaurant designated as bar areas," to
grant exemptions to those establishments in operation at the effective date of the ordinance, and prohibit
smoking in any future bar or cocktail lounge and bar areas within restaurants; with amendments to the wording
of the current draft ordinance as follows: (1) under Sec. 8.32.010. Definitions, add: "and that has its own
entrance from the outside, does not share an entrance with a restaurant or other establshment, and does not
have a door or access to a restaurant or other establishment;" (2) under Sec. 8.32.020. Prohibitions, add: "18.
Bars or cocktail lounges, except where exempted below in Sec. 8.32.030;" (3) having to do with the bar areas
within the restaurants, under Sec. 8.32.030. Exemptions, at paragraph B, add: "in operation on the effective
date of this ordinance, if the bar area has or will have within 180 days of the effective date of this ordinance, the
following characteristics:" and (4) under Sec. 8.32.030 Exemptions, at paragraph C, add: "Subject to the
limitations on exempt status which follow, bars or cocktail lounges, as defined in Sec. 8.32.010, that were in
operation on the effective date of this ordinance with a permit from the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission to
sell beer, wine, and mixed alcoholic beverages on premises by the drink without the requirement to also serve
food. However, the right to exempt status under this subsection C and subsection B above shall cease and the
affected establishment shall comply with the provisions of this Code under any of the following circumstances:
L Whenever the bar area, bar or cocktail lounge is vacated, abandoned, is closed for business, or ceases
to meet the definition of bar or cocktail lounge set forth in Sec. 8.32.010 above, any of which continues for a
period of more than thirty continuous days;
ii. Whenever the the structure in which the bar area, bar or cocktail lounge is housed, operated or
maintained is damaged by natural, intentional or accidental causes to the extent of more than fifty percent (50%)
of the value of the structure on the date of the damage;
iii. Whenever the enclosed area of the structure in which the bar area, bar or cocktail lounge operates is
expanded by more than twenty-five percent (25%) of its original size by the owner or operator;
iv. Whenever there is a change of location of the bar area, bar or cocktail lounge," saying some of this
information was added at the suggestion of City legal counsel when asked to review.
Snell said these exemptions are based on the fact that these establishments have significant financial
commitments and an established clientele.
Carr asked for clarification, saying it sounded
like to
him that Snell's motion was creating two kinds of bars, ones
that exist today and ones that will exist in the
future.
Snell responded
that
the
intent
of
his motion
is
to indicate
City Council Meeting Minutes/October 24, 2006
Page 4 of 18 Pages
that smoking would be prohibited in both kinds of bars in the future, but is, in effect, grandfathering existing bars.
Sansing asked if the
negative
pressure
ventilation requirement
on Section D
on page 6 could be removed. It
was determined
them.
that
the
vote
on Snell's
amendment
should
be
taken
before
further
changes.
There was much discussion regarding Snell's amendment, including explanation from Carls regarding
exemptions and grandfathering. Eason clarified that Snell's amendment exempts the one Office Lounge bar,
and if the three restauratants can comply and retrofit, they would come under the exemption; and all future bars
would be non-smoking, and all future restaurants, with bars or not, would be non-smoking.
iiiiiililiiiiiilli Jill
Nelon suggested to Sansing that he work on the wording for the ventilation systems and work with the staff to
bring that wording back for the first reading, along with adding the word, "lit," in the definition of smoking after
the word "holding."
Carr questioned why Council is creating enforcement issues for one bar and three restaurants. Snell said it is
his opinion that the current businesses have an economic impact with non-smoking. Eason and Oliver indicated
they thought there were not enough votes on the Council that would support a total ban, so that is the only
reason they are supporting the motion by Snell. Oliver said this amendment gets the Council a long way, but
not all the way toward what he wishes it would be.
Smith said he thinks the restaurants
will not
go
to the expense to put in the separate ventilation systems and
therefore, there will be no economic
impact
on
them.
Smith and Sansing took exception to the private club exemption. Smith asked about weddings. There was
further discussion regarding private club exemptions. There was confusion as to whether "guests" are
considered to be the same as "members" or "public."
Motion by Sansing to amend to strike Paragraph F regarding exempting non-profit private clubs. There was no
second to the motion.
Motion by Eason, second by Smith to eliminate Item A, on page 3. Approved 6-0. (Berryman absent)
Brandenburg said he will also clarify the language regarding Sec. 8.32.020 Prohibitions. He said, regarding
number 7. Public Places, the new library will have an outside coffee area where people can sit and drink coffee
and read. Carts said also that the enforcement language needs to be cleaned up regarding intentional or
unintentional crime.
R Consideration and possible action regarding suggested Unified Development Code (UDC) Amendments for
inclusion in the 2006-2007 UDC amendment process -- Bobby Ray, AICP, Director of Planning and
Development Services
Councilmember Berryman arrived on the dais.
Ray explained the item and noted that the Planning and Zoning Commission approved the list as presented. He
said there will be two public workshops in March next year, and Planning and Zoning Commission and City
Council hearings will begin in April. There were questions and comments from the Council. Motion by Carr,
second by Oliver to approve the list as presented. Approved 6-1. (Sansing opposed)
S Consideration and possible action to approve a resolution authorizing a land swap between the City and
4T -LFT for properties necessary for the construction of the downtown Main Street water quality pond.-- Tom
Yantis, Assistant City Manager
Yantis explained the
item. Motion
by Snell, second by Eason to approve
the resolution. Sansing asked and
there was discussion
regarding the
relocation or abandonment of the sewer line. Approved 7-0.
T Consideration and possible action to authorize staff to reduce or waive certain permit and inspection fees for
current or proposed projects, within the City's jurisdiction, by governmental entities including the Georgetown
City Council Meeting Minutes/October 24, 2006
Page 5 of 18 Pages
Independent School District and Williamson County; and to authorize staff to begin negotiations with the
Georgetown Independent School District on an interlocal agreement regarding the development review and
permitting process for School District projects -- Tom Yantis, Assistant City Manager
Yantis explained the item and gave a brief background of recent discussions with the school district. He said in
reviewing the fees for the new Ninth Grade Center on SH29, and the same request from Williamson County, he
has determined that other cities typically waive fees for other governmental jurisdictions. He said an ordinance
in 1991 says that Council must approve any waivers of fees, so he asked for Council's direction and
authorization for negotiation on an interlocal agreement with the school district. He clarified that this pertains to
permit fees, not water/wastewater impact fees, but Council has that prerogative. Sansing said the City still has a
cost for the expenses, but he said he thinks anything beyond that would be "double-dipping." He also said he
wanted to go on record as being against the proposed location of the new football stadium. Smith asked and
Brandenburg responded that permit fees do actually represent recovery of costs that the City incurs, but could
be good "partners," with maybe a 50% reduction in certain permit inspection fees.
Smith said if the City is incurring costs that benefit all the taxpayers of the County, then the City is subsidizing
the residents of the County; and those residents of the City who five in the Jarrell School District would be
subsidizing the Georgetown School District.
Motion by Smith, second by Carr to retain current council policy and not waive inspection fees. Approved 4-3.
(Sansing, Berryman and Oliver opposed)
Motion by Snell, second by Eason to proceed with the interlocal agreement. Approved 6-1. (Sansing
opposed)

Mayfield Ranch, Ltd., and Parkside at Mayfield Ranch Municipal Utility District -- Glenn Dishong, Water
Services Manager and Jim Briggs, Assistant City Manager for Utility Operations

said the GUS Board recommends approval. Motion by Smith, second by Carr to approve the agreement.
Approved 7-0.
2. Consideration and possible action to amend the Water Services Agreement between the City, The
Highlands at Mayfield Ranch, Ltd., and Highlands at Mayfield Ranch Municipal Utility District -- Glenn
Dishong, Water Services Manager and Jim Briggs, Assistant City Manager for Utility Operations

would build a storage tank, but it has been determined that it would be better if they participated in the
construction of the Escalera tank. Motion by Oliver, second by Smith to approve the agreement.
Approved 7-0.
3. 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 South Fork
Wastewater Interceptor for $101,015.00 -- Glenn Dishong, Water Services Manager and Jim Briggs,
Assistant City Manager for Utility Operations
Dishong explained the item, saying a similar item was brought to Council to provide for engineering for the
first part of this interceptor; and since that time, the size has increased and the routing has changed, so the
City is redoing the sizing of the line. Motion by Smith, second by Eason to approve the contract.
Approved 7-0,

the City cannot provide water there.

corridor and annexation is necessary in order to be able to protect the scenic character of the land on both
sides of the roadway. There was further discussion, especially regarding the amount of land that could be
annexed along SH 130 and regarding water service.

of the Dove Springs Treatment Plant. He said the County has a rule that they don't take over the

Polasek asked Council for direction. He said based on the comments during the Public Hearings, he
suggests removing Annexation Areas 3 and 4 because they are served by Jonah. Motion by Snell, second
by Sansing to instruct staff to proceed with ordinances for involuntary annexation of the properties on the
current list while removing Areas 3 and 4. Polasek noted that because all of the field notes will need to be
ready at the first reading, it would be useful to know now if any other areas need to be removed. Motion by
Sansing, second by Berryman that staff, where possible, look at annexing only the portions of the property
that are needed to make the City programs work. Smith said he felt that would be very subjective. Vote on
the amendment: Denied 5-2. * (Eason, Smith, Carr, Oliver and Snell
opposed) Motion by Sansing, second by Berryman that the Snook property in Annexation Area 6 be
removed from the 2006 annexation areas. Denied 4-3. (Smith, Carr, Oliver and Snell opposed)
