determined that it would be very difficult to get the coverage they need within Georgetown. He
said once the antennae are in place, they will be painted to coordinate with the tank and after that,
Nextel employees would very seldom re -visit the antennae unless there were an emergency repair.
Mayor asked that language to that effect be put in the contract. It was suggested that wording that
would require them to notify the City if they needed to access the tower. Motion by Navarrette,

DD Discussion of wording for the Special Election ballot and proposition for sales tax election -- Marianne
Banks
Rundell introduced the City's bond counsel, Carol Polumbo, of McCall, Parkhurst, and Horton, who
explained the restrictions of using a 4B corporation. She said pursuant to 4B law, the street, road, and
transportation improvements must be related to a project authorized by a 4B, such as community projects.
Russell and Rundell told Council that the Funding Committee was aware of the fact that if the 4B were
designated for this, this would be the only use for the 4B. Pfiester clarified that the 4B revenue could never
be used for park acquisitions or park projects. At Bain's suggestion, the proposed language was read by
Kersch. Polumbo suggested a change "to be used and applied for project costs for streets, roads,
drainage, etc."
Motion by
Bain, second
by Lyda to approve the language as read with
the proposed change. Polombo
noted that
an additional
resolution will

EE Discussion and possible direction to staff regarding off-premise/co-location sign proposal and possible
City Council Meeting Minutes/February 27, 2001
Page 7 of 9 Pages
assignment to a City board or commission for recommendation to the Council -- Tom Yantis
Yantis said the builders who were developing a sign proposal have some outstanding issues regarding
working with the Texas Department of Transportation, or with private property owners. He said there is a
question as to who would pay for the signs, so he suggested that Council assign this project to the Planning
and Zoning Commission to determine the method for handling this situation. Lyda reviewed the history of
this item and said he thinks it would benefit the builders to use their time and resources to develop this
proposal and not spend the City's valuable time and resources, except to enforce the ordinance.
Dave Hall said, in visiting with one of the builders, there were quite a few issues that arose, including who
was going to pay for the property that would need to be acquired for the placement of these signs. Yantis
said that ultimately he thinks directional signage for the City is a good idea and should be looked at long
term. Council expressed disappointment that nothing has come forward from the builders. Motion by
Lyda, second by Bain to direct the staff to enforce the sign ordinance at the earliest convenience. Bain
said he doesn't think the City needs to spend time and money toward finding a resolution to the problem.
Yantis informed Council that our current policy is that there is no patrol on weekends. Council generally
agreed that weekend patrols should be authorized. Approved 7-0.
