A workshop discussion regarding issues outlined in the Mid Year Status Report to Council -- Micki Rundell,
Director of Finance and Administration and Paul Brandenburg, City Manager
Brandenburg began the Review by giving Council the status of the City division activity and programs. He
noted that Council had received a notebook of the status of programs for each division. Rundell explained
the financial update and preview, gave a budget amendment summary, and gave Council a 2005/06
financial forecast. Brandenburg closed with a review of the budget process. There were questions from the
Council.
B Review of the 2004/05 budget priorities and the related priority carry forward, as well as, discussion of
additional priorities and related strategies for the 2005/06 budget -- Micki Rundell, Director of Finance and
Administration and Paul Brandenburg, City Manager
Rundell and Brandenburg explained that the 20 priorities from Council were updated in the packet and
included additional input from the City of Georgetown Boards and Commissions. She noted that the 20
have been reduced to 13 because some of those items have been taken care of throughout the year. She
asked that Council review tonight's list and make additions, if so desired.
Snell asked to add a long-term analysis on non-public safety staffing needs, based on population or
workload measures.
Nelon suggested that there be a vocal review of the 13 remaining priorities from the 20 original from the
Council. Brandenburg read and explained the 13 on-going priorities. There were questions and comments
from the Council. Staff added the suggestions from the Council, and Rundell said she would bring back the

list as an action item for wouncil's consideration on May 24.
C Workshop discussion regarding the establishment of an Arts and Culture Board -- Eric Lashley, Library
Director and Randy Morrow, Director of Community Services
Lashley told Council that a staff committee was put together to get a commitment from GISD and
Southwestern University. He noted that there is no entity to coordinate the events in Georgetown, and there
is no regular systematic funding. Mission: to provide a vision and support for arts and cultural activities in
Georgetown. He shared with Council the Committee's proposal for the Committee. There were questions
from the Council.
Hutchinson said
a percentage
of the
CIP for many cities is set aside for the arts. He said the first need for
the Board would
cost nothing,
just to
coordinate the activities in the community.
D Update on the status of the proposed Cowan Springs MUDS (on Del Webb Northern Lands) and direction
from City Council regarding same -- Paul Brandenburg, City Manager
Mayor Nelon recused himself from this item. Mayor Pro Tem Doug Smith conducted the item.
Brandenburg explained that this development originated as a part of the Sun City development, but was
sold to another development and will be used as a non -age -restricted subdivision. He reviewed the
conditions of compliance contained in the ordinance regarding this issue. He gave a history of the project
and requested Council input and direction on the proposal.
Snell asked the advantage to the City for allowing a MUD in its ETJ. Carls said each petition for MUD
creation needs to be looked at on its own merits. She said if the petitioner gets no positive result from the
City, the petitioner can go to the TCEQ and if the petition is found to be adequate, the City would lose its
ability to control. Snell asked what the City would lose. Carls said each MUD would have to be evaluated
individually. She said there is the possibility of losing the support of the developer for the standards set out
by the UDC. Snell confirmed that the Subdivision Requirements would still be in place and zoning would
still need to be approved by the Council. Snell asked about the responsibility of the City regarding any debt
incurred such as bonding for infrastructure.
Smith noted that it
would be an
advantage
to the purchasers of the homes in the development if the City
were to annex the
subdivision.
There was
additional discussion and questions from the Council.
When asked by Council, developer Bob Wunsch said they realized they could not get the deal
consummated by the end of the year. He described to Council the development that they have
accomplished at Avery Ranch in Austin. He spoke about the proposed construction of the Parmer Lane
extension. He indicated that they have been working with staff and planning the "town center."
Carls said if Council wants staff to proceed in the manner that Brandenburg proposed, it might be
necessary to come to the Council with an ordinance amendment that would extend the City self-imposed
deadline.
