Rundell and Jim Briggs
Rundell explained the proposed revisions as recommended by Reed, Stowe and Yanke, using the
American Water Works Association (AWWA) guidelines. Smith asked and Briggs responded that the cost
of expanding the plant capacity would be paid by the people creating the demand along with impact fees
from new growth. Rundell noted that the City is trying to emphasize water conservation.
B Discussion of a way to continue the partnership
of the city of
Georgetown
and the Georgetown Sertoma
Club
for
the annual
Fourth
of
July
celebration
in
San Gabriel
Park
--
Doug
Smith
Smith explained that for the last 19 years, the 4th of July celebration has been a partnership between the
City and the Georgetown Sertoma Club. He said he brings up this celebration because it is
community -wide and brings 50,000 to 60,000 people to Georgetown to watch the fireworks. Kersch agreed
that the sense of community is important. She said she felt there should be some way for the City to
participate without giving a donation which is illegal.
Smith asked Roy Holliday, from the audience, to give the history of the 4th of July celebration in
Georgetown. Holliday said he had moved here twenty-one years ago from a city that had always
celebrated 4th of July. He said when there was no 4th of July celebration in Georgetown, he went to the
Sertoma Club and asked them to sponsor a celebration. He said he was given the honor of chairing the
first two celebrations.
Smith also mentioned the Christmas Stroll, and the Red Poppy Festival as other celebrations that need to
City Council Meeting Minutes/April 9, 2002
Page 1 of 10 Pages
be considered as community -wide celebrations. He mentioned the following four criteria that he thinks
should be used to qualify the celebration: 1. Sponsored by a non-profit organization; 2. Purpose is not a
fund raising event; 3. Free of charge to all; and 4. Of interest to all segments of the community.
Noble suggested that the City contract with Sertoma to produce the 4th of July celebration.
Yantis said the current ordinance for special event permitting requires that the entity sponsoring the event
"shall" pay the City for any City services required. Yantis noted that staff support for these events is "a
pretty big hit' on the department budgets, so accounting for these services will be important in order to plan.
Yantis noted that the Air Show does charge an admission, but turns all of the admission money back to the
City for the Airport Fund.
Beth Jenkins said she budgeted $125,000 to put on the Air Show last year and contributed $75,000 to the
Airport Fund. She said she pays off-duty policemen and, in the past, the other City services were provided.
She said she has been told that all City services will need to be paid by her this year, so she said any
expenses she has to reimburse will mean less money back to the Airport.
Smith pointed out that there are people who enjoy the Air Show that never use the airport. It was
determined that criteria should be developed that would allow the decision to be made as to whether the
City can legally financialy support the event.

1. B. Keith Peshak, 800 Oak Crest Lane, regarding "more under-the-table, middle -of -the -night, illegal,
special interest, airport stuff at the last council meeting (it ain't jis the mayor) and the airport noise
study that doesn't and uses only invalid data."
Peshak said that former meetings of the Council have been in violation of State and Federal law.

resource that the Council needs.

in May and information would

the dates and times.
She confirmed that the
process is just beginning and
comments
are being received and
categorized for future
clarification.
Kersch asked Sondgeroth to respond regarding the statement in the newspaper article about a "public outcry." She
said there were three workshops on March 28, where questions were asked, stating that staff was particularly
appreciative of the written comments because that will enable them to prepare workshops regarding those
comments. Noble confirmed with Sondgeroth that the Development Ordinance Committee would be dealing with the
comments in workshop.
Burson asked Sondgeroth to explain the development plat requirement. Sondgeroth said currently it is not required
but will be required in the future in order to identify the property by obtaining the ownership information and survey of
the property.
The Consent Agenda was pulled forward.

award on this project would have be be subject to the acquisition of the property. Briggs explained that this
project is the right of way acquisition to deal with the safety issues on Williams Drive. Briggs explained the

P First reading of an ordinance to adopt new elements of the Century Plan: The Future Land Use Plan and
the Future Thoroughfare Plan -- Ed Polasek and Amelia Sondgeroth
Sondgeroth read only the caption of the ordinance on first reading after having satisfied the requirements of
the City Charter. She explained that this land use plan is based on surveys and participation from over 150
citizens who attended public hearings on this subject. She noted that the Planning and Zoning Commission
recommends approval with five reservations, as stated on the Agenda Item Cover Sheet.
Sondgeroth introduced Dan Sefko of Dunkin and Sefko who gave a slide presentation to explain the two
new elements. Regarding the Land Use Plan, Sefko said the Williams Drive area should be a separate
study. He said there will be opportunities for updates on a regular basis. He said, regarding the
Thoroughfare Plan, a system of arterials and collector streets have been addressed along with the
proposed SH130. Kersch confirmed with Sondgeroth that this would not replace the Intensity Map.
Victor Yin, 3808 Williams Drive, objected to the delay in the findings for Williams Drive. He said he had
intended to refinance his property on Williams Drive and now cannot because Williams Drive has been
pulled from study.
Ercel Brashear, 4204 Verde Vista, said he owns property on Wiliams Drive and exempting Williams Drive
stalls his refinancing. He asked that the Williams Drive commercial properties be added back to the map
before the second reading of the ordinance.
Yantis said the zoning will not change on property that is currently zoned commercial. Sondgeroth said she
spoke to an appraiser and was told that appraisers would accept a letter from the City designating zoning.
Carls was asked to clarify, and she replied that the future land use functional plan element doesn't have an
impact on existing zoning. Yantis clarified that the map is not a zoning map, but a land use map. Lyda
asked and was given clarification regarding the process to be followed for future applicants until the future
land use element is adopted. Lyda emphasized that this land use map has no effect on the ability of
property owners along Williams Drive to develop their property in this interim period. Lyda and Kersch
City Council Meeting Minutes/April 9, 2002
Page 5 of 10 Pages
stated that the Williams Drive area was pulled off the consideration at this time in order to accommodate
and work with property owners on Williams Drive.
James Brown, 117 Randolph, read an email to Council comparing the development process to children in a
candy store.
Betty Liese, 1086 Booty Road, said the proposed Serenada Drive extension would bisect her home. She
noted that there are old Indian "signal' trees, caves, and possible Indian artifacts on her property. She
asked that the Serenada Drive extension be removed from consideration.
Michael Weir, on behalf of Weir Ranch, asked Council for mining designation instead of single-family. He
said staff knows of his request and recommends it.
Iva Wolf McLachlin, 520 Wolf Road, made two requests of Council. She recommended that the only
omitted frontage road in the IH35 system be added to the future thoroughfare plan northbound between
Lakeway and Williams Drive. She requested changing the "mixed use" designation to a "commercial'
designation at the northwest corner of IH35 and Highway 29 east of the proposed road from Rivery
Boulevard to Highway 29.
David Hudson, 4305 Cordoba Circle East, said he owns acreage on Shell Road outside of City limits. He
asked what he should tell a potential buyer by looking at the future land use map. Yantis suggested that
he meet with someone on the planning staff. He confirmed that this map in no way specifes zoning for his
property.
7:47 p.m. -- recessed
8:07 p.m. -- resumed
Lyda confirmed that if someone has property on Williams Drive that is not in the city limits and is not zoned,
they could come to the Planning Office tomorrow and file a request for zoning and go through the process.
Sondgeroth noted that would be true if they followed annexation procedures and the property would need to
be contiguous to property already in the city limits..
Yantis recommended, because amendments to the Century Plan need to be taken within 30 days from the
Planning and Zoning action, that the Council extend the timeline for consideration. Motion by Lyda, second
by Smith to extend the timeline for 30 days. Approved 5-0,
Q Consideration and possible action to waive fees and not charge for city services for celebrations and
festivals that meet the following criteria: 1. Sponsored by a non-profit organization; 2. Purpose is not a
fund raising event; 3. Free of charge to all; and 4. Of interest to all segments of the community -- Doug
Smith
Smith said he thinks this policy is an example of unintended policy. He said he thinks there are some city
events that need to be in partnership with the City and should not be charged fees, particularly the 4th of
July Celebration Family Picnic in the Park that draws 50,000 to 60,000 people. He said the Family 4th of
July Celebration needs to continue, and to put the entire financial burden on the Sertoma Club is unfair. He
said the same thing could be said for other celebrations such as the Stroll, Poppy Festival, and Airshow.
He said the policy should be modified to exclude these events. He listed his criteria for qualification.
Kersch said she thought the term "celebration" is important to describe the event. Lyda said he also thinks
it is important to support certain events, but in the past, there was no accountability for City participation in
certain events. He suggested that it be done through the budget process in the future with allocation made
to help provide funding. He said the Hotel Occupancy Tax would be an appropriate funding source. Noble
suggested that the Council go ahead and figure out a way to fund the Sertoma 4th of July Celebration this
year and make special plans in the coming budget to provide for celebrations. Lyda suggested adding the
Airshow to the allocation. Noble suggested allowing the amount coming to the airport from the Airshow to
decrease as a way to provide city support this year.
Bill Talley, 705 Wagon Wheel Trail, said when he opened his business in Georgetown in 1993, he became
enamored with Georgetown. He thinks 4th of July, Airshow, and Red Poppy Festival are a part of that. He
asked that Council find a way to keep these activites.
Roy Holliday, 1303 Elm Street, member of Sertoma, told Council that Sertoma has already spent money
and sent out applications for vendors. He said they start planning in August for the next 4th of July
Celebration. He asked Council to find a way to fund the special events.
City Council Meeting Minutes/April 9, 2002
Page 6 of 10 Pages
Lyda asked if Yantis could bring back an accurate estimated cost of each of those festivals. Rundell said
she would do an analysis and bring back some funding options. She said they could be included in fund
balance and Council could approve them in a budget amendment. Yantis said that Charlie Walker
suggested that the City would be considered a sponsor and would receive advertising. Motion by Lyda,
second by Smith that the City provide services to the Airshow and the Fourth of July firewiorks display,
asked that the staff bring back estimated costs and funding sources, that the City receive sponsorship
credit for both events and that Council commit to addressing all of these funding these events in the budget
next year. Noble stated he would not vote for funding the airport from the General Fund. Approved 5-0.
R Consideration and possible direction to staff to clarify, update and/or revise the report titled An Assessment
of the Economic Impact of Sun City prepared by TIP Development Strategies and presented to Council at
the March 26, 2002 Council meeting -- Tom Yantis
Yantis asked that Council direct him as to which issues they wish to have clarified. Kersch questioned and
Lyda confirmed that cost of services had been requested. Noble said, if the clarifications and corrections
could be done at no further cost to the City he would ask that the population estimates be adjusted from a
multiplier of 1.5 to 1.8, and regarding valuating the cost of the property, he said not every Sun City
homeowner has a homestead exemption, the average age of the residents being 62, and he said the sales
tax is based on population also, so those figures are incorrect. Kersch asked to make sure that the recent
City survey had been used in calculating sales tax. Lyda pointed out that TIP did not provide the
projections for project build out in terms of cost and revenue to the City. Smith said he doesn't need any
further information and doesn't want to spend any more money on this report.
Yantis noted that Pfiester had given him a list of questions that he would need to get from his desk.
8:31 p.m. -- recessed
8:34 p.m. -- resumed
Yantis read the questions from Pfiester asking for a spreadsheet that includes the direct cost of
infrastructure, as noted in the report that Jim and Micki had put together previously and was discussed,
inclusive also of the fire station, streets, stormwater, electrical and other direct costs in an un -allocated
foremat; asking also the amount of SIP fees collected; and asked for an analysis of the "sinking fund"
provided for debt payment, after there are no more SIP fees collected.
Motion
by
Lyda, second by Navarrette to
direct the City Manager to have TIP Development
Strategies
update
the
report at no additional cost to
the City as soon as possible. Approved 44. (by
Smith)
S Consideration and possible action to authorize the Mayor to execute a new 20 -year with a ten-year option
Airport Ground Lease with Airesun Limited Partnership for the Banner Aerospace leased premises, and
20,750 additional square feet -- Travis McLain and Tom Yantis
Yantis explained that this item had been deferred at the last meeting to bring back some historical
information about leases at the airport. Yantis noted that the applicant has requested a new lease at a new
rate including additional land.
Fred List, 444 Logan Ranch Road, said he doesn't think the Airport Advisory Board knew what they were
voting for because five of them were new to the board.
Keith Peshak, 800 Oak Crest Lane, claimed that the Council is giving away public assets at the airport.
Smith clarified with McLain that the rental rate is $0.1592 per square foot per year.
Kersch
asked
for
a financial analysis and said
she thought that the Council
had approved a policy that the
leases
would
not
be renewed at the end of 30
years and
the
property would
then revert to City ownership.
Navarrette suggested that this issue be taken to the Economic Development Commission to let them
determine how the incentives being offered at the airport figure into promoting and expanding retention of
commercial business.
Kathy Heidemann, 407 Golden Oaks, said there will be an item on the next regular agenda of the Economic
Development Commission for her to give the Commission an update on the status of another issue at the
airport.
City Council Meeting Minutes/April 9, 2002
Page 7 of 10 Pages
Ricky Peterson of Airesun said he thought the item had been deferred at the last Council Meeting in order
to bring back a history, not for economical or policy change. He said he is not asking to create a new policy.
He said under the new lease, at the end of 20 years, if the 10 -year option is not elected, the owner of the
building is allowed to sell the building to the City or tear down the building.
There was further discussion.
Fred List, 444 Logan Ranch Road, told Council that the Trinity -Cannan lease took place not long ago and it
was due to misinformation.
Smith asked what were the ramifications for the business if this item is denied and Council waits for new
policy. Winthrop Aldridge of Airesun said they probably won't buy the hangar and it will sit there empty for
years with time left on the lease.
Motion by Navarrette, second by Noble to defer this item and send it to the Economic Development
Commission to see what issues this may effect as far as Economic Development in the City of Georgetown
and including a thorough search for the Council policy and analysis of not only the times that it has been
done, but also the times that it has been denied. Approved 4-0. (Lyda abstained)
