Motion by Carr, second by Eason to approve the Consent Agenda with the correction to the minutes. Approval 7-0.
Legislative Regular Agenda
R Consideration and possible action to authorize payment of the City's pro -rata portion of the cost of
operation of the Williamson County Appraisal District, estimated to be $64,000 -- Micki Rundell, Director
of Finance and Administration
Rundell explained the item, saying the payment is $6,000 higher than last year and is based upon the total
evaluation of property in the City. She said the funding was included in the budget. Motion by Smith,
second by Kirby to authorize payment. Approved 7-0.
S Consideration and possible action for the approval of a change order to Satterfield & Pontikes
Construction, Inc. in the amount of $101,796.00 for the relocation of an underground gas line at the new
Library site -- Terry Jones, Support Service Director and Micki Rundell, Director of Finance &
Administration
Jones explained the item, saying Atmos claims they have an easement in existing right of way, but the City
has been unable to locate any official action regarding the abandonment of that right of way, so staff is
recommending approval of the change order. He said the City is asking Atmos to change the proposed
route of the line to a less expensive route that would place the line in the police driveway to the east of the
police station. He said the change in route would save the City $21,000, and noted that the funds are
available in the project budget. Oliver asked and received the status of the surplus in the budget for the
Library. Jones said there is a surplus in the budget of $104,000. Rundell said there was originally an
excess of about $150,000, but $40,000 went to Croslin & Associates at the last Council Meeting for the
library design and furniture requirements. She said the contingency within the original contract of almost
$400,000 is still there. Kirby asked why this was not a part of the fixed expenses. Jones said the City had
assumed the right of way had been abandoned, and Atmos would be responsible for relocating the line, but
that was not the case. When asked by Smith, Jones said there probably is no reason that Atmos would not
agree to use the less expensive route, and said they will need an easement in the driveway, and that can
be accomplished with Council action. Sansing questioned and there was discussion regarding the
proposed relocation. Jones said that the area is a driveway/alley right now, and the City is placing raw
water lines through that driveway.
Motion by Oliver, second by Eason to approve of the change order. Snell asked to change the language to
"not to exceed $101,796.00." Oliver and Eason agreed to include that in the motion. Approved 7-0.
Brandenburg said staff will be bringing forward a progress report on the budgets for all of the city projects.
T Consideration and possible action for the support and participation of the City of Georgetown in the
proposed Community Resource Center -- Gabe Sansing, District 2 Councilmember
Sansing asked Mike Martin and Barbara Brightwell to come forward and speak about the proposed
resource center. Brightwell said this idea came together 25 years ago and the resource center occupied
the abandoned Williams School for a while. She said this is a continuation of the attempt to provide an
array of health and human services in one location for individuals and families in need. She said they will
talk to all community service/non-profit groups and try to place them in one convenient location. Martin
gave an overview of the proposed center. He explained that "seed" money is needed in order to get
City Council Meeting Minutes/November 8, 2005

started. He noted that Southwestern President, Jake Schrum, has donated a location and food for the
conference; the Catholic priest at St. Helen's will provide $1,000; and they will also approach the County
and other entities. He said they are asking for $3,000 from the City Council Contingency. Motion by Snell,
second by Kirby to donate $3,000 from the Council Contingency Fund. It was announced that the
conference will be held on February 21 at Southwestern University. Approved 7-0.
U Consideration and
possible action
to temporarily suspend enforcement of the
2 -hour parking limit during
the construction of
the Courthouse
and the new public library -- Gabe Sansing,
District 2 Councilmember
Sansing noted that several people have spoken to him about the parking situation downtown, so he would
like to see how the other Councilmembers feel about it. Mayor Nelon noted that when the parking lot closed
for the new library construction, it created an increased difficulty for finding parking downtown in that area.
Brandenburg said there were several options that could be used and asked if staff could spend some time
looking into the subject. Sansing thanked Virginia Stubbs who copied Council with the survey results that
show that 76% of the merchants are still in favor of the limit. Oliver suggested that there be a plan for now
and a plan for later when the new library is open. Smith said he is concerned that when the construction on
the courthouse begins, the workers will take up all of the spaces around the square if the parking limit is
lifted. Kirby said he thinks it has taken great effort to get this parking procedure in place and he suggested
that it not be destroyed.
Speaker, Glenda Overfelt, said she was on the parking committee who worked on this ordinance. She said
this parking problem has been around for 30 years, and it took a long time to start enforcing it. She asked
Council not to suspend enforcement.
Speaker, Virginia Stubbs, said the survey was responded to very well and she noted how much effort went
into this, and thanked staff for the consideration they have given. She said she would hate to see this effort
go backwards. She noted that signage is missing.
Speaker, Gordon Baker, as Chair of Main Street Advisory Board, said this subject was discussed in August
and September. He said their conclusions were the same, and the majority of the folks in the downtown
area want to keep the parking limit. He said most of the complaints were because of misunderstandings or
a lack of education. He said they have drafted a letter to all businesses on the Square to explain the
nuances of the parking, and will also do advertising in the Williamson County Sun . He encouraged Council
to keep the parking limit enforced. He said, however, he feels it would probably be a good idea to lift the
ban in some areas.
Speaker, Tom McDaniel, said construction on the courthouse is about to begin, saying they will receive bids
from contractors on November 17. He forecast December 5 as the date to begin construction. He said the
projected date for completion is April 1. He also acknowledged that the City has given the County 16 spots
for in and out parking during construction. He said they will instruct the contractors that there will be an
area for them to park in so they will not disrupt the other parking for customers of the downtown merchants.
Sansing said he was suggesting a temporary ban on the parking enforcement. Motion by Sansing, second
by Carr to direct staff to look into the parking issues around Rock Street and the Library. Oliver clarified
that this should be both short-term and long-term. Brandenburg said staff will look into all possibilities,
including signage. Motion by Smith, second by Kirby to say that going back to no restrictions is not an
option. Approved 7-0. Vote on the original Motion: Approved 7-0.
BB Public Hearings/First Readings
1. Reconsideration and First Reading of an ordinance providing for the adoption of the Georgetown
Municipal Airport Functional Plan Element as a new element of the Century Plan -- Edward G.
Polasek, Chief Long Range Planner and Bobby Ray, AICP, Acting Director of Planning and
Development
Yantis explained that staff didn't realize that the vote on this item at the last meeting was not sufficient
legally. He said the opportunity to reconsider the item is a process where the prevailing side of the
motion would move to reconsider. Motion by Smith, second by Carr to suspend the rules. Smith said
he was one of the voters in opposition last time and suggested it be brought back tonight with a full
council present. Approved 7-0. Motion by Smith, second by Sansing to reconsider the item.
Approved 7-0. Yantis read only the caption of the ordinance after having satisfied the requirements of
the City Charter. He suggested a change in the wording in the first paragraph of Exhibit A. He said in
City Council Meeting Minutes/November 8, 2005
Page 4 of 14 Pages
place of: "considered as an attachment to this document....," he would like to insert: "shall be
incorporated herein by reference...."
Mayor
Nelon
pointed
out that Penny Burt had signed up to speak on all four items on this agenda
having
to do
with the
Airport.
Speaker, Penny Burt, said she would try to summarize all of her objections to the Airport Functional
Plan Element. She said in 1998, the City adopted a Master Plan which ignored the consequences of
expanding the Airport that was zoned residential single-family and was surrounded by residential
development. She claimed that since 1998, the Airport has lost hundreds of thousands of dollars. She
said the adverse impact has been identified as affecting an area from SH 195 to 2nd Street, and from
Sun City to Cooper Elementary. She said tonight Council is being asked to approve an expansion in
an area that is inappropriate for expansion. She claimed the Airport is the single -most expensive piece
of real estate in Williamson County. She said the expansion is being done without notice to the people
that will be affected. She said the people that are "off the ends" of the major runway have not been
notified and are not present at the meeting. She asked Council to reconsider.
Speaker, Kathryn Heidemann, said her family owns property on the south side of the airport and she
served on the planning committee for the Airport. She said the Committee did accomplish some
issues, but there were some items that the Council chose not to fund, and those are the items that she
continues to object to. She said it is her opinion that leaving "non -approved" items in the Plan is not
consistent with federal guidelines. She said, in particular, she opposes retaining the acquisition areas
that lie outside the city limits in county jurisdiction. She said she opposes changing the approach
lighting system to allow jet traffic at night and during bad weather. She said if the City doesn't plan to
fund those improvements, they should be removed from the Plan. She said she would like to know if
the FAA Safety Analysis has been finalized.
Motion by Snell, second by Kirby to approve the ordinance on first reading to adopt the Georgetown
Municipal Airport Functional Plan Element as an element of the Century Plan, replacing the June 1998
Georgetown Municipal Airport Master Plan. Approved 6-1 (Smith opposed)
2. First Reading of an Ordinance repealing and replacing Chapter 12.32 of the Code Of Ordinances
pertaining to the Georgetown Municipal Airport Use Regulations and the Minimum Standards for
Commercial and Non -Commercial Operations -- Travis McLain, Airport Manager and Tom Yantis,
Assistant City Manager
Yantis explained the item, saying it came out of the work on the Master Plan Update. He said the
Airport Advisory Board has approved this ordinance. He read only the caption of the ordinance after
having satisfied the requirements of the City Charter. Motion by Kirby, second by Carr to approve the
ordinance on first reading. Approved 7-0.
3. Public Hearing to consider a Major Revision to a Planned Unit Development - Development Plan
incorporating a new site plan and revised development standards pursuant to the Airport Master Plan
Update for the Georgetown Municipal Airport located at 500 Terminal Drive, and a Rezoning from a
base district of RS, Residential Single-family to IN, Industrial -- Bobby Ray, AICP, Acting Director or
Planning and Development
Ray explained the item, saying the initial Master Plan was adopted in 1998, and in 1999, the Airport
was rezoned to RP Residential Planned. He said an update to the initial Master Plan was adopted in
July of 2005, and staff is currently processing the Century Plan amendment which Council acted on
earlier, incorporating the Master Plan into the City's Comprehensive Plan; and with the adoption of the
Unified Development Code in 2003, the previous RP District was transitioned to a Planned Unit
Development District. He said this created the need to do an amendment to the Planned Unit
Development and a change in the base from RS, Residential Single -Family to IN, Industrial. He said
the attached development plan incorporates the long-term, twenty-year Development Plan and the
Airport Land Use Plan, both from the Master Plan document. He said the Master Plan identifies two
types of projects, one being associated with airport management and the second associated with
airport parking, storage, and/or maintenance. He said the PUD Development Plan is a land use plan.
He said this is not a document that was generated to facilitate the expansion of the Airport. He said
one of the requested changes is the allowed heighth needed for the control tower. He said the
Planning and Zoning Commission voted to approve (5-2) the PUD amendment and change to the IN
District, depending on the adoption of the Century Plan Amendment.
City Council Meeting Minutes/November 8, 2005
Page 5 of 14 Pages
Speaker, Don Allan, pilot, and owner of a plane hangared at the Airport, asked Council to vote for the
zoning change to allow for the control tower to be built. He said the control tower will not increase
traffic at the Airport. He said the beacon on top of the tower will be directed up so as to not be
objectionable and will increase the safety for air traffic.
The public hearing was closed at 7:06 p.m.
4. First Reading of an Ordinance approving a Major Revision to a Planned Unit Development -
Development Plan incorporating a new site plan and revised development standards pursuant to the
Airport Master Plan Update for the Georgetown Municipal Airport located at 500 Terminal Drive, and
a Rezoning from a base district of RS, Residential Single-family to IN, Industrial -- Bobby Ray, AICP,
Acting Director or Planning and Development
Ray read only the caption of the ordinance on first reading after having satisfied the requirements of
the City Charter. Snell said the reason the tower has to be that tall has to do with the ability of the
people in the tower being able to see all of the taxiways and runways. He said the City has obligations
to the Federal Government, grant assurances, that severely limit the ability of the City to restrict activity
at the Airport; and anyone who wants to build a hangar can do so, and they cannot be turned down.
He said, in order to try to deal with the noise level, you must try to deal with the amount of traffic. He
said in terms of land use, the City does not have to spend any money toward someone's hangar, and
the City can plan the Airport according to land use. He said the PUD indicates that the anticipated
growth of the landed aircraft at the Airport can all be housed on the east side of the Airport. He said
the consultant has taken all of the anticipated growth and drawn it into a land use plan for the east side
of the Airport, so certain types of aircraft are limited by the areas that are drawn for them to use. He
said the west side of the Airport is clear and reserved for other uses that the City can get permission
for. He said all of this is to contain and stabilize the growth at the Airport through planning and land
use. He said he thinks it is a great plan. Motion by Snell, second by Kirby to approve the ordinance
on first reading. Approved 7-0.
5. First Reading of an Ordinance Amending Section 8.04.80 of the Code of Ordinances Regarding
Burning of Refuse to Allow Prescribed Burns Under Certain Circumstances in accordance with State
Laws and Regulations -- Tom Yantis, Assistant City Manager
Yantis said this ordinance is related to the annexation hearings that will be coming up. He said some
of the property owners on the proposed annexation areas would like to be able to continue to burn on
their properties, as wildlife management areas, or agricultural areas, which will have to be registered
with the City; and the Fire Department will be apprised of when the burning will take place. He said
these properties are undeveloped. He read only the caption of the ordinance on first reading after
having satisfied the requirements of the City Charter. Motion by Sansing, second by Carr to approve
the ordinance on first reading. Approved 7-0.
The next item was taken out of order.
7. First Reading of an Ordinance exempting federally -owned buildings located within the City of
Georgetown from Title 15, Chapter 15.04, Section 15.04.010 relating to the adoption of the 2003
International Building Code -- Tom Yantis, Assistant City Manager
Yantis said this item is another issue raised by a property owner in the proposed annexation area. He
said this ordinance is to formalize a process that has been followed over a number of years to exempt
the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers Buildings from the City's Building Codes, as they are by law exempt.
He read only the caption of the ordinance on first reading after having satisfied the requirements of the
City Charter. Snell asked for clarification regarding federal buildings anywhere else in the City. Yantis
said this doesn't pertain to development regulations. Carls said the federal government has its own
building codes, but the City would still enforce the plumbing code, electrical code, and mechanical
code, and the Corps would follow City standards for connection to City utilities. Yantis said this would
not affect the zoning and land use standards.
Motion Carr, second by Kirby to approve the ordinance on first reading. Approved 7-0.
6. First Reading of an Ordinance adding a new definition to Section 12.20.010 to the Code Of
Ordinances pertaining to U. S. Army Corps Of Engineers Park Land; adding a new section 12.20.090 to
be entitled "Special Rules For U. S. Army Corps Of Engineers Park Land;" adopting by reference
City Council Meeting Minutes/November 8, 2005
Page 6 of 14 Pages
the Federal Rules and Regulations found in Title 36 of The United States Code, Chapter 111, Part 327;
and providing for the enforcement of such Federal Regulations by City Personnel on U. S. Army Corps
of Engineers Park Land -- Tom Yantis, Assistant City Manager
Yantis said, since the City will be annexing all of the parks on Corps of Engineers land, our law
enforcement personnel should be able to enforce the same rules and regulations that the park rangers
enforce in those parks. He read only the caption of the ordinance on first reading after having satisfied
the requirements of the City Charter. Motion by Snell, second by Sansing to approve the ordinance on
first reading. Approved 7-0.
7. First Reading of an Ordinance exempting federally -owned buildings located within the City of
Georgetown from Title 15, Chapter 15.04, Section 15.04.010 relating to the adoption of the 2003
International Building Code -- Tom Yantis, Assistant City Manager
This item was handled prior to Item 6.
8. Public Hearing on the annexation into the City of approximately 3100 acres consisting of various
tracts of land owned by the United States Army Corps of Engineers adjacent to Lake Georgetown, also
portions of Cedar Breaks Road R.O.W. in the Cedar Breaks Park area and lake dam area, referred to
as Annexation Area 9a -- Bobby Ray, AICP, Acting Director Planning and Development and Edward
G. Polasek, AICP, Chief Long Range Planner
With a slide presentation, Polasek explained the item, saying this land belongs to the U. S. Army Corps
of Engineers and is not currently within the City Limits. He said the reason for the annexation is to
provide environmental and greenspace protection, and hazard mitigation, and to bring all areas within
the City jurisdiction for public safety purposes. He listed the provisions of the service plan as: police
and fire protection, solid waste collection, operation and maintenance of water and wastewater
systems, operation and maintenance of streets, roads and street lighting, operation and maintenance
of public parks, playgrounds and swimming pools, operation and maintenance of publicly -owned
buildings, facilities and services, library privileges, planning and development services, animal control
services, business licenses and regulations, health and safety regulations, and regulations pertaining
to peace, morals, and welfare.
The Public Hearing was opened at 7:25 p.m. There were no comments. The Public Hearing was
closed at 7:25 p.m.
9. Public Hearing on the annexation into the City of approximately 139 acres of land out of the D.
Wright Survey, being: Lots 1 and 2 of the Dicotech Subdivision and a 2.1601 acre tract of land owned
by Yuh-Jaan Wey & Yecu-Chyn Wey, recorded in Vol. 2173, Pg. 319 of the Official Records Of
Williamson Co., Texas, and approximately 26.3 acre portion of Williams Drive R.O.W. that begins at
the current city limits at Lakeway Drive and Booty's Crossing Road and extends northwest to the
intersection of Shell Road, referred to as Annexation Area 13a -- Bobby Ray, AICP, Acting Director
Planning and Development and Edward G. Polasek, AICP, Chief Long Range Planner
With a slide presentation, Polasek explained the item, saying the reason for the annexation is that this
area is important for economic development, and important to bring all of Williams Drive under the
City's police jurisdiction. He said Area 13 used to be a much larger area that is now divided into three
areas. He said the City has received public comment on this proposed annexation. He said the
Weslayen Home project application is pending, and if the annexation is completed prior to the City
receiving the application, the Weslayen project will fall under the the City zoning and subdivision and
stormwater programs. He listed the proposed services to be provided. (The proposed services to be
provided are the same as were listed in Item BB -8.)
The public hearing was opened at 7:28 p.m.
Speaker, Art Bergman, resident of Serenada, said his property is adjacent to the land to be annexed.
He said he thinks all the water from Waterstone Development will come through Serenada and onto his
property. He said the Waterstone engineers suggested that he get flood insurance.
Speaker, Dr. Dan Bonner, Vice President of Weslayan Homes, said they
are enthusiastic about being
annexed. He
said they are looking forward
to providing a state-of-the-art
continuum -of -care facility,
and
will
begin
as soon as
the due
diligence
is completed.
He
said
the staff
of
the City

above and beyond in working with them to make it possible for them to move forward on their schedule.
He described the first phase of the project as being 124 apartments for elderly persons. He
acknowledged that Weslayan Homes received $3.2 million of tax credits to do a complete renovation of
their existing retirement home on University. He said they are in favor of the annexation and appreciate
the Council's support.
Speaker, Rody Whitfield, resident of Serenada, said they are in favor of the development going in as
long as it is done responsibly, He asked that the annexation process be postponed so that discussions
can be completed with Waterstone as to how the water is going to flow.
The public hearing was closed at 7:36 p.m.
10. Public Hearing on the annexation into the City of approximately 131.3 acres of land from the D.
Wright Survey that lies south of Williams Drive and east of D.B. Wood Road, also including an
approximately 4.5 acre portion of D.B. Wood Road R.O.W . that begins at the intersection of Williams
Drive and continues southwest for approximately 2380 ft, referred to as Annexation Area 13b -- Bobby
Ray, AICP, Acting Director Planning and Development and Edward G. Polasek, AICP, Chief Long
Range Planner
With a slide presentation, Polasek explained the item, saying it closes gaps in public safety jurisdiction,
and listed the proposed services to be provided. (The proposed services to be provided are the same
as were listed in Items BB -8.)
The Public Hearing was opened at 7:38 p.m. There were no comments. The Public Hearing was
closed at 7:38 p.m.
11. Public Hearing on the annexation into the City of all lots within the Enclave Subdivision and the
R.O.W. of Rustle Cove East, Sutton Place and Enclave Trail, and Faith Lutheran Church
Subdivision and Faith Lutheran Church, Phase Two Subdivision, and approximately 95 acres out
of D. Wright Survey, and a portion of Booty's Crossing Road R.O.W. beginning approximately 220 ft.
west of Oak Ridge Circle and extending 1320 ft. westward, referred to as Annexation Area 13c --
Bobby Ray, AICP, Acting Director Planning and Development and Edward G. Polasek, AICP, Chief
Long Range Planner
Polasek explained the item, making one recommended change to the area to be brought back at the
next Council Meeting. He asked that Booty's Drive be removed from the area since not all of Booty's
Drive will be annexed, so it would be better to wait until all of that area that will be annexed can be
done at one time. He provided up -dated maps on the dais. He said there have been several phone
calls about this annexation, and said the Lieses will be proposing voluntary annexation of a 1000 foot
strip of their property, but their proposal is not included in this new map because it would not allow the
City to keep the necessary 1000 -foot required depth to annex the Chevron station or the other
outparcels on the property. He said the Williams Drive infill area was identified as a priority for
annexation in order to bring all of Williams Drive under the City police and planning jurisdiction. He
listed the proposed services to be provided. (The proposed services to be provided are the same as
were listed in Item BB -8.)
The public hearing was opened at 7:42 p.m.
Speaker, Betty Liese, with an additional three minutes allotted from her husband, Milton Liese, told
Council they own the large piece of property that is now known as Annexation Area 13c. She said in
July, they were told that the primary purpose for annexation would be to simplify the public safety
jurisdiction. She claimed that the current annexation map on the City's website this afternoon does not
address that concern. She said if police jurisdiction is really the issue, why isn't the annexation
extended all the way down Booty's Road to Annexation Area 9A. She expressed confusion about the
reasons for annexation, and stated that she and her husband do not object to providing the minimal
amount of annexation of their property, if necessary, to allow for adequate police jurisdiction along
Williams Drive.
Sansing said he thought annexing the Liese property was not necessary. He asked why that changed.
Yantis said there is not really a change. He said the City has always said they would allow the Lieses
to present their position about annexation, and that is the purpose of the Public Hearings. He told
Council that there is a way to annex Williams Drive in that location without annexing the Liese's

property, but in the next annexation area, there are property owners who wish not to be annexed as
well, so if removing one property from the list of priority annexations is the Council's choice in order to
accomodate the property owners, why not do that for other property owners, as well. He said there are
public safety jurisdiction issues and also economic development reasons for completing the annexation
of Williams Drive. Yantis said the Council can remove any of the proposed annexation areas from the
priority annexation list at the first reading of the ordinance on December 13.

towards SH130. He explained some changes to the original annexation plan that will be revised at the
next council meeting to remove properties fronting Lonnie Thomas, East Drive and CR152, saying the
reason is because the service plan is not currently a part of the Capital Improvements Plan. He
distributed revised maps. He listed the proposed services to be provided to the area to be annexed.
