for the community to become involved --parents, teachers, and community leaders. She warned
the Council that violent crimes will begin to occur due to the increase in the illegal activities. She

Hart explained that the City will use their own crew on the downtown parking lot, thus saving
some expense.
Bain pointed out that he had signed a conflict of interest form for Items I and GG.
Item X - Vincent asked about fireflow. His question was answered by Barry.
Item P - Arroyos questioned the number of staff members involved and the amount of time used
for this training and was told that there were approximately 46 employees involved for
approximately two hours per week for probably at least 10 weeks or until mastering the sets of
information being given. Burson asked what Joe Gonzalez had been doing for the last few weeks.
Hersh explained that he at first worked with the Council and then did conferences with the
Directors. This contract covers the next phase. Arroyos asked what benefit, to what people, at
what cost. Hersh explained that the courses being taught by Joe Gonzalez were helping the staff
with the development of the values system and governance principles. She said the training also
assists in the staff performance evaluations.
Burson asked if this meant that the people being trained were not qualified for their jobs. Hart
explained that the effort was to develop the employees to keep up with their jobs as the City
grows, and when asked by Arroyos if this training was a budget priority, Hersh replied that this is
the implementation of professional development of the staff. Arroyos asked for more cost -related
information to determine if the cost is worth the benefits achieved.
Wood suggested at the Budget Workshop next year to look at a full-time facilitator.
Burson asked how much the City would be paying for the total amount paid to the Management
Connection. Hersh replied that the City had paid $26,000 last year, and this contract is for
$41,500.

There were no comments.
H Citizens wishing to address the Council
Frank Parmenter, 4106 Sequoia Trail East, said that Item R on the Agenda is a "blank check,"
accused the City Manager of having a conflict of interest as the Executive Director of the 4B
Corporation, and asked that Item R be removed from the Consent Agenda.
Ed Steiner, 409 W. 3rd Street, told the Council that he represented a group of ladies complaining
of being searched by male police officers. He asked why all the people living at one of two
addresses in the recent drug bust were arrested, but not everyone in the other house was arrested.
Public Hearin s
I Public Hearing regarding the annexation of: (1) approximately 1,370 acres locally known as
Berry Creek Subdivision, Sections 1-11 golf course and surrounding area; and (2) approximately
95 acres locally known as Crystal Knoll Terrace Planned Unit Development, Units 1-2 and
adjacent future development area -- Clyde von Rosenberg
von Rosenberg explained the process of the public hearing and read the service plan to be
provided after annexation. Wood asked about the timeframe for qualification to run for office or
vote. Banks answered that the Charter provides that the citizen live at their residence for one year
prior to the election, and that the date of the annexation was not governing.
Rick Mashburn, 3501 N. I1135, not a resident of Berry Creek Subdivision, told Council that he
owns property along IH35 (provided a drawing), asked what benefit he would derive from
annexation.
Wood told Mashburn that staff would have answers to his questions at the next public hearing on
Tuesday, October 29th at Berry Creek Country Club at 6:00 p.m. and suggested he check with the
planning staff for answers as to the timeframe for the services to be provided.
Michael Vogler, 1009 Pine Street, said that he and his sister own a 100 -acre farm at IH35 and
Highway 195, that his property is served by Pedernales Electric Co-op and Chisholm Water, and
suggested that since his farm is in the City's extraterritorial jurisdiction and under development
control by the City, that his 100 -acre farm be removed from the annexation.
Bill Miller, 30303 Oak Tree, asked for an explanation of the finance arrangements for the Power
Computing deal. He asked if the City would be out any revenue for the construction of the
building. He also asked if the City of Georgetown profits from the resale of electricity. Hart
explained that there is a margin that covers the operation and maintenance as well as a dividend
that is paid. He asked if the City would be hurt by offering Power Computing a lower rate. Hart
explained that the City was basically "tying up a long-time large user." Miller asked what kind of
arrangement the City would have with GISD. Hart explained that general discussions have been
held and that the school would come back next month for negotiations.
Minutes of Council Meeting/October 22, 1996

Arroyos stated that he was very interested in hearing what people had to say, but would like to
hear first from the residents of Berry Creek during the Public Hearing on the Berry Creek
Annexations, and also asked that the speakers adhere to the time limit of three minutes.
Charlie Barton, 30400 Oak Tree Drive, said that the 400+ residents of Berry Creek were opposed
to the annexation.
Mike Jackson, 30100 Wingfoot Cove, claimed that the decision to annex Berry Creek and the
decision to welcome Power Computing to Georgetown were made at the same time. Asked for a
cost benefit analysis for annexing Berry Creek and for bringing Power Computing to Georgetown.
Asked that the decision on Power Computing be delayed until the annexation decision is settled.
Arroyos said Jackson's points were well taken, and apologized if Jackson thought he was not
interested in Power Computing. Asked Hart to state the difference in the amount abated and the
amount to be received in revenue. Hart explained that a study is being done by Arthur Andersen
Consulting. He stated that figures have been gathered to show that in a 10 -year accumulated
period, approximately $1 million will be abated, while approximately $12 million will be received
in revenue.
Wood added that the Berry Creek annexation had been proposed prior to Power Computing being
known about in Georgetown.
Joe Sybert, 412 Northwood Drive, told Council that he owns 42.7 acres of agricultural land that
will be in the proposed annexation, and requested that his property be withdrawn from the
annexation.
Greg Burtner, 30404 La Quinta Drive, compared the attempted annexation of Berry Creek to the
Revolutionary War, and the reason for World War H.
Wood noted to the Berry Creek residents that the Berry Creek water supply was greatly improved
recently when the City took over the water service in Berry Creek Subdivision.
Arroyos stated that the interest of the Council should be to make decisions based on the
ownership perspective of the entire community.
Wood suggested that the residents contact the Development Services staff with their questions.
An unidentified woman in the audience asked about the Crystal Knoll Subdivision. Hart
confirmed that Crystal Knoll is a part of the annexation at this time, but conversations have been
held with the builders in Crystal Knoll.
The annexation public hearing was closed at 8:02 p.m.

for emergency vehicles.

The public hearing was closed at 8:10 p.m.

Legislative Regular Agenda

West Loop Water Line Project -- Jim Briggs -- (Pulled by Tonn)
Tann asked if the price had been compared with other firms. Briggs explained that the services
could not be put out for bids. CDM has not changed their rates in the last four years. Wood asked
if the City could provide the pipe cheaper than having it included in the bid. Briggs said that was
looked into when the waterline was being put in at Sun City. He said that generally, and in this
case, contractors are able to buy pipe at a cheaper rate due to the volume of business they do. He
said that also the liability of the pipe comes into question. Arroyos asked for and received
confirmation from Banks that State law prevents the City from competitively bidding engineering
services.
Motion by Bain, second by Hoyt to approve Amendment 28. Approved 7-0.
II Consider approval for keeping the name, Chautauqua Park, for the park on the corner of 7th and

Page 7 of 13 Pages
Morrow said that a survey of District 2 had been done at the request of the Council. He said out
of 631 surveys mailed, 16% (10 1) were returned, with a more than 2 to 1 result to keep the name
of Chautauqua for the park.
Davis asked that the citizens who had signed up to speak be allowed to address the Council before
the Council commented.
Paulette Taylor, 705 W. 8th Street, said that history should never be deleted, but should be
enhanced. She said there is already a pavilion at the park in honor of Edna Powell, and suggested
filling the park with more history and honor for others such as the late Councilmember Winfred
Bonner.
Ethel Moore, 704 W. 8th Street, also asked that the name Chautauqua be kept for the name of the
park. She spoke of having known Edna Powell and having heard her say that she didn't want the
park named for her.
Davis commended the citizens who responded to the survey and the citizens who verbally
approached him about their ideas. He said he hoped the 5 -year old issue could be put to rest. He
noted that he had reviewed every survey returned, and shared some of the responses.
Motion by Davis, second by Torn, to keep the name of the park as Chautauqua. Approved 7-0.
Arroyos commended Davis for working with the community and the Council on this issue.
Davis commended Morrow and his staff for the survey.
JJ Second Reading of an ordinance to rezone 259.4 acres in the Nicholas Porter and Joseph Pulsifier
Surveys from RS, Residential Single Family and C -2A, Commercial First Height Restricted to C-
SA, Commercial First Height Restricted -- Hildy Kingma and Ed Barry
Kingma explained that there had been a year and a half between readings, that the Rivery Property
currently being dealt with is currently zoned C -2A, which excludes residential. She said that the
first reading was in March of 1995, to have C -2A zoning for the entire property and a 150 -foot
border to buffer the River Hills Subdivision, and that the second reading be delayed until a user
came forth that would be able to utilize the re -zoning. Kingma read the caption.
Robert Sterk, 109 Oak Hollow Drive, said that he is glad that a prospective purchaser fits the
specifications, but he is not happy with the 150 -foot buffer because he wants to protect his view.
He said that Planning and Zoning had passed the item contingent on a buffer of 500 feet. He also
asked for protection from glaring lights and parking lots, and for better traffic flow in and out of
River Hills.
Richard
Winter, 203
North Oak Hollow, told Council that
his home
also adjoins the
Rivery tract.
He said
he approves
of Power Computing being proposed
to use the
property, but is
concerned
Minutes of Council Meeting/October 22, 1996
Page 8 of 13 Pages
about the 150 -foot buffer zone. He asked for a 500 -foot buffer as originally approved by Planning
and Zoning, and asked for denial of access into the Rivery Subdivision from River Hills.
Bain asked and was told that after the rezoning, the bridge and other issues could be handled. Hart
explained that the IH35 entrance and exit ramps would be flipped. Hart said that officials of
Power Computing have indicated a desire to meet with the residents of River Hills to gain their
input on the way the buildings are laid out. Hart explained that the buffer was lowered to 150 feet
by the Council at the first reading of the ordinance.
Maura Chrichton, 201 River Hills Drive, President of River Hills Homeowners Association, asked
why the buffer zone could not be addressed at this meeting. She asked if Power Computing was
planning to put their buildings on the south part of the land, locally known as the Rivery. Hart
responded that the buildings would be constructed on the 40 acres south of Rivery Boulevard.
She asked and was told that the access between subdivisions had not yet been determined. She
requested that the buffer be extended beyond 150 feet, and asked for proof that the ramps would
be switched. Hart told her that the Highway Department was working on the design at this time.
She said she was concerned about the loss of money to the school district, and asked to be notified
of any meeting to find out how the school district would gain.
Motion by Tonn, second by Hoyt, to approve Ordinance 96-45 on second reading. Approved 7-0
KK Consider waiving fees for home to be constructed by Gavurnik Homes with profits to be donated
for the benefit of the Williamson County Child Welfare Board -- Leo Wood
Wood explained that any profits from the sale of the home would be donated to the Williamson
County Child Welfare Board. Hart stated that the building permit fee is $350, the electric tap is
$400, the wastewater tap is $800, and the water meter is $850 for a total of about $2, 400.
Building fees could be waived, but utility fees would be taken from the Council Contingency
Fund. Wood suggested that, having heard in two recent workshops about youth issues, he wanted
Council to decide what they could do to help the Georgetown _youth.
Bain asked and was told that the profits on the sale of the house were estimated to be in the area of
$16,000. He asked and was told that the amount to be taken from the Council Contingency Fund
would be $2000. Bain questioned the procedure and whether the donation of $2,000 shouldn't
have been handled when the budget was planned. It was confirmed that the Child Welfare Board
is not already receiving a donation from the Council. It was recalled that the Council had donated
a residential lot to the Habitat for Humanity.
Arroyos suggested that Council schedule a future workshop to determine policy on these kinds of
requests. Wood suggested giving $350 tonight.
Motion by Arroyos, second by Bain to table the item until policy could be developed. Approved
7-0.

known as St. Helen Catholic Church, from A. Agricultural to RS, Residential Single Family, or
any more restrictive district, located on East State Highway 29 -- Hildy Kingma and Ed Barry
Kingma explained that because the church will be adding some buildings, the A zoning is asked
to be changed to RS, which passed Planning and Zoning. Kingma read the caption only on first
reading after having satisfied the Charter requirements.
Motion by Tonn, second by Vincent to adopt the ordinance on first reading. Approved 7-0.
NN Consideration of a Variance from the Subdivision Regulations for Parkview Estates, Section 1,
Block B, Lot 14, located at 100 Pecan Vista Lane -- Hildy Kingma and Ed Barry
Kingma explained that the property owner wished to construct a 6 -foot cedar fence which would
encroach into the front -yard setback. She noted that Planning and Zoning had recommended
denial.
Archie Houser, 101 Pecan Vista Lane, doesn't see any reason not to allow the variance. He said
he travels that area every day and asked Council to allow the variance.
Lewis Kincheloe, 124 Parque Vista, across the street from the property owner, asked that Council
approve the variance.
Saundra McGovern, 128 Parque Vista Drive, neighbor, told Council she sees no problem, and
asked Council to approve the variance.
Bain asked why Planning and Zoning had denied the fence. Kingma said their denial is consistent
with past actions. Barry said he thought they were concerned about setting a precedent and that
they wanted to uphold the ordinance.
Eunice Teinert, 121 Parque Vista Drive, said the requested variance imposed no hazards, and
asked that the Council approve the variance.
Suzanne Stamnitz, 105 Parque Vista, asked why there was a procedure for the process, and asked
that Council approve the fence.

Page 10 of 13 Pages
Richard Stamnitz says he doesn't
think
the
ordinance restrictions were made available to the
applicant when he purchased his
home
and
asked Council to approve the fence.
Arroyos asked if anyone that had spoken lived behind Mr. Shove, and was told that the house is
vacant. Mr. Shove told Arroyos that he has sent letters to all property owners within 200 feet of
his property, and that the property owner of the house next door received his letter, but the house
is being occupied by renters.
Bruce Shove, 100 Pecan Vista Cove, the applicant, said he had no idea that the restrictions on
corner lots were so strict. He displayed overheads showing the area where his fence could be put
according to the ordinance, and the additional 15 feet that he is asking to fence. He also showed
photographs.
Motion by Bain, second by Torm, to grant the variance. Approved 5-2 (Davis and Arroyos
opposed)
Arroyos explained that he was voting in favor
of the
Subdivision Regulations. Davis said he
concurred with Arroyos that
policymakers had
to be
consistent.

manufactured home park developments -- Clyde von Rosenberg and Ed Barry

only
on first reading after
having satisfied the requirements of the
Charter, and noted the standards
that
were included in the
ordinance.
Jeff Carroll, 203 Parque Vista, Director of Development for Clayton, Williams and Sherwood,
told Council that his company owns the Dessau Mobile Home Park, which he said is recognized
as the finest family home park in the State of Texas. Carroll Told Council that he opposed
Exhibit A. saying that it would eliminate manufactured homes as affordable housing, and asked
that they adopt Exhibit B.
Bruce Motheral told Council that he appreciated the staff time to develop the ordinance so that
affordable housing could be provided, but he said that he has a couple of concerns with Exhibit B
asking that the 15 -foot side and rear setback be from the living structure, not from the driveway,
and asked that the 26 -foot wide streets be reduced to 22- or 24 -foot wide streets, and that the park
requirement not be a dedicated, public park within the private development.
Motion by Arroyos, second by Hoyt, to defer this item to the November 12 Meeting. Approved 6-
