Approved 6-0. (Oliver absent) Legislative Regular Agenda Council will individually consider and possibly take action on any or all of the following items: O Consideration and possible action to approve the Fiscal and Budgetary Policy to be used in preparing the 2006/07 Annual Operating Plan and to guide operations for the upcoming fiscal year -- Micki Rundell, Director Finance and Administration (pulled to the Regular Agenda by Snell) Motion by Snell, second by Eason to approve the Fiscal and Budgetary Policy. Motion by Snell, second by Smith to amend to add the following language: "no City funds, including funds allocated to contracted agencies, may be used to circumvent any City ordinance or policy." There was Council discussion. Vote on amendment: Tied 3-3 (Oliver absent)(Carr, Berryman and Sansing opposed) Mayor broke the tie by voting against. Amendment Failed: 4-3 (Oliver absent) (Carr, Berryman and Sansing opposed) Vote on the original motion: Approved 6-0. (Oliver absent) R Consideration and possible action to award the aviation fuel bid of $1,915,000.00 to Avfuel Corporation for a period of two years with three, one year options, effective July 1, 2006 -- Travis McLain, Airport Manager and Tom Yantis, Assistant City Manager McLain explained the item, saying there was only one valid bid, from the current supplier, and the nation's largest independent diesel supplier. He said there is a net savings to the customers. Motion by Snell, second by Berryman to approve the aviation bid. Approved 6-0. (Oliver absent) S Consideration and possible action to authorize application for a 5 —Year Grant for $3,846,669 from the US Department of Homeland Security/Federal Emergency Management Agency with a matching fund of $2,039,208.00 from the City of Georgetown to fund firefighting equipment and personal protective equipment -- Clay Shell, Assistant Fire Chief and Anthony Lincoln, Fire Chief. Assistant Fire Chief Shell said the posting should have included "18 firefighters" instead of "firefighting equipment." He said this grant would augment the current personnel and provide what is needed to staff the new Sun City Fire Station. Councilmember Snell said he is bothered that Homeland Security has become a way to fund things that are not necessarily related to Homeland Security. Rundell said, even if the City doesn't get this grant, the City will still have to hire 18 firefighters. She said it is similar to a COPS grant back in the 1990's. Brandenburg said he feels, through proper budgeting, the City will be able to fund this in five years. Motion by Sansing, second by Smith to authorize the application. Approved 6-0. (Oliver absent) T Consideration and possible action to support state legislation requiring producers of electronics and computers to participate in takeback recycling programs, and adoption of statewide procurement guidelines to require vendors who provide products to state and local governments to take back discarded electric products -- Kathy Ragsdale, Utility Office Director and Micki Rundell, Director of Finance and Administration Ragsdale explained that currently, the responsibility for proper disposal of electronics and computers now falls on the City and is handled throught a household hazardous waste day. She said there is a plan to City Council Meeting Minutes/June 13, 2006 Page 3 of 8 Pages provide an e -waste repository at the transfer station. She said state legislation requiring producers to take back discarded electronic products would assist the City. Speaker, Robin Schneider, Executive Director of Texas Campaign for the Environment, said there are many pitfalls in electronic recyclinig. She said toxins such as lead and mercury can be released to harm health and contaminate land and water. She said cities should not shoulder the burden. She said the producers should provide for safe recycling and disposal. She showed films of piles of recycling debris in China where the electronic waste contaminates the earth. She said Georgetown would be the first City in Texas to vote on producer takeback recycling. Motion by Eason, second by Snell to approve the resolution. Berryman asked Council to consider shelving this issue for a while. She said she researched and discovered that Dell will take back and recycle their own product. She said it is difficult for a small town to resolve this issue, and she doesn't want to create a bureaucracy, costing millions of dollars, and questioned whether or not it is effective. She said the City is already setting up it's own recycling center, and the local computer company, Dell, is already responding and taking back their products. Smith said he doesn't think this is the most cost effective way of recycling the waste. He said he thinks a better way to go would be to put a tax on all computer/cell phone equipment that the consumer can receive back when they return the product to the producer. He said he doesn't see an incentive to promote true recycling. Eason said this resolution shows support for takeback recycling, not setting up a bureaucracy. She said it's nice that Dell is being responsibile, but not all manufacturers will take that responsibility. She said this resolution is a movement to make demands on the manufacturers. Sansing said we pay to recycle our tires and automobile batteries, and he thinks Smith's idea is good, but he will support the resolution. Smith said the principle is right, but the mechanism could be better. Approved 6-0. (Oliver absent) U Consideration and possible direction to staff regarding the City's refuse and recycling contract with Texas Disposal System and other related items -- Kathy Ragsdale, Utility Office Director and Micki Rundell, Director of Finance and Administration Rundell explained the item. Speaker, Joe Savage, representing Waste Management, said trash trucks are going through San Gabriel Park and through Old Town to get to the transfer station at San Gabriel Park. He said Georgetown doesn't need a transfer station. He said Texas Disposal Systems needs a transfer station because they are hauling Georgetown trash 40 miles away, while they could be using the Williamson County Landfill, only 11 miles away. He said this transfer station should go out for bid. Speaker, Rick Fraumann, representing Texas Disposal Systems (TDS), with extra minutes from Verna Browning, distributed a handout to Council, and said he would like to talk about the good TDS reputation. He said he understands that some of their competitors have been actively lobbying the Council. He said when TDS took over the contract, there were a lot of problems with the existing service, which was Longhorn Disposal, a subsidiary of Waste Management. He said the new TDS contract is a new public-private agreement and contains standards of performance. He described the aspects of their service, and the history of complaint calls with the previous provider back in 1998. Speaker, Ryan Hobbs, representing Texas Disposal Systems, with extra minutes from Adam Gregory, told Council they have maintained existing roll -off rates for eight years in spite of increases in labor, tires, and fuel, but that has been carried by TDS. He said they did a survey to compare rates and discovered that rates are 12% higher outside city limits than inside the city. He described the benefits to the City if the transfer station is expanded. He said the trucks are traveling to the landfill through the park, but doing it at night, and TDS has identified a route that will get better with the opening of SH130. Speaker, Wade Wheatley, representing Texas Disposal Systems, with extra minutes from Paul Gregory, described the current municipal solid waste permit and landfill issues. He noted that there have been issues from the past at the city landfill. He described the potential penalties if the State finds the area in non-compliance. Speaker, Bob Gregory, representing Texas Disposal Systems, with extra minutes from Kay Gregory, said TDS has a unique business model that maximizes recycling and composting. He said TDS is committed to provide excellent service. He noted that the Cities of Round Rock and Pflugerville do not use the Williamson County Landfill, even though it is close. He noted that Waste Management has received the largest fine ever issued for their landfill in Travis County. City Council Meeting Minutes/June 13, 2006 Page 4 of 8 Pages Registered speakers, Kurt Johnson and Gary Hertel, chose not to speak. Speaker, Gary Newton, General Counsel for TDS, said he signed up in case there were legal questions. There were none. Motion by Snell, second by Eason to proceed with negotations and plans as outlined in the workshop last night. Carr said it looked like Georgetown is on the high end of the residential rates, especially if the environmental fee is added. He said it looks like there will be 38 years of partnership with TDS, which seems like a long time. He said he realizes that a bid and proposal are not required by the state, but he thinks it is good practise to follow. He said he thinks there needs to be a bid and proposal to clean up the landfill. Rundell explained that there is a current contract for services that doesn't expire until next year. She said out of the cost of $12.95 for the residential rate, $3.50 to $4.00 goes to the City General Fund to cover billing and other services provided. She said the City treats It as an enterprise fund and it has to be self-supporting. She said the contract asks to create the integrated recycling center (IRC;) and TDS has offered to put money forward to expand the recycling center to be a model for other cities. She said the City had received a grant for equipment, but needs help staffing the recycling center. There was further discussion. Smith said he feels like TDS provides very good service, and he would probably vote for TDS, even if bids were taken and another provider was cheaper. Snell said his concern has never been for the cost, but for the level of service and ecological commitment. He said he also likes the stability of going with a firm with which the City is pleased. Berryman said there would be time to do bids regarding the CAPCOG grant. She said she thought it should go to bid to see if any other firm could provide the same service. There was clarification that cleaning up the landfill is totally separate from the hauling, pick-up, and recycling. Rundell said the hauling piece would be broken out in case there were concerns in the future. Sansing said he would be in favor, as long as there are three separate pieces to the contract. He said he thinks the City should look at options periodically. Rundell said the recycling center will be available to the public from inside and outside of the City. There was further discussion. Motion by Carr, second by Sansing to amend to split the issue to require requests for proposals for three separate contracts, immediately bidding the landfill cleanup and the recycling center, and rebidding the pick-up and hauling by September 30, 2007. Rundell noted that the City will have to pay to hire someone to draw up the specifications for cleaning up the landfill and building the recycling center. She said that would require specific knowledge in those two areas, and said she lacks the staff time to be able to do the specifications. Sansing withdrew his second. Berryman seconded. There was further discussion. Carls clarified the timeframe in the current contract. Carr changed the date to September 30, 2008, for rebidding the pick-up and hauling. Vote on the amendment: Tied 3 to 3. (Eason, Snell and Sansing opposed)(Oliver absent) Mayor Nelon broke the tie by voting against the amendment, and said he would like for the staff to negotiate with Texas Disposal Systems. Vote on the original motion: Approved 4-2 (Carr and Berryman opposed)(Oliver absent) 8:00 p.m. -- recessed 8:10 p.m. -- resumed V Consideration and possible action to support a resolution from the Austin -San Antonio Intermunicipal Commuter Rail District to request that the State Legislature and the Governor of Texas appropriate $200 million annually to the Texas Rail Relocation and Improvement Fund during the next regular and subsequent sessions of the Texas Legislature -- Patty Eason, Councilmember District 1 Brandenburg explained the purpose of the resolution and read the caption. Motion by Sansing, second by Carr to approve. Approved 6-0. (Oliver absent) W Discussion and possible action regarding City Council Policy and Funding Guidelines for Children's and Youth Program Funding -- Paul E. Brandenburg, City Manager Brandenburg explained this was discussed at a previous Council Meeting. He noted that a Subcommittee comprised of Smith, Oliver and Snell met with him to prepare policy guidelines and provide a proposed funding method. He outlined the proposed requirements for qualification, and noted that this funding should be in concert with the social service funding and budget process. City Council Meeting Minutes/June 13, 2006 Page 5 of 8 Pages Speaker, Mary Hearon, Executive Director of Georgetown Project, encouraged Council to establish policy for this new support. She said she appreciates the Council's continued support in community planning and youth intervention programs; and in the past, their assistance to the Georgetown Project. Motion by Smith, second by Sansing to approve. Motion by Snell, second by Sansing to amend the policy to read: "Council will consider providing funding through a contract for services, to legally qualified non-profit organizations which provide services that the City is legally authorized to provide, but is not currently providing, when such services are: ........" and to amend the funding guidelines to read: "....2. Funds may be allocated to support programs for children and youth who have little or no access......" Approved 6-0. (Oliver absent) Smith said he thinks the application form should have the organization's 501 C3 identification number on it; and the policy wording should read "or" instead of "and" during vacations and breaks. Eason said she doesn't support that change, but would agree with "and/or." Brandenburg said the language in Section 4, Goals and Objectives, came directly from social service funding and he would like to use five different questions in lieu of the three used in the social service funding application. Those questions are: 1. Indicate in what way the program is for children and youth who have little or no access to the City of Georgetown's programs, either because of fees or location. 2. Is the program offered on a regular basis after school and/or during vacations and breaks? Give specifics. 3. Are there any charges or fees to participating youth and children? If so, what are they? 4. Is the program open to the public and to be held at an accessible facility? Give location of the facility. 5. Describe measurable service outcomes of the program.
