Council Presento I Council Absent.a Patty Eason, Gabe Sansing, Doug Smith, Jack ;i All Council Present Noble, John Kirby, Farley Snell, Mark Ramsey Paul Brandenburg, City Manager; Tom Yantis, Assistant City Manager; Jim Briggs, Assistant City Manager for Utility Operations; Trish Carls, City Attorney; Sandra Lee, City Secretary; Micki Rundell, Director of Finance and Administration; Randy Morrow, Director of Community Services; Anthony Lincoln, Fire Chief; Mark Thomas, Director of Economic Development; Eric Lashley, Library Director; Terry Jones, Purchasing Director; David Munk, City Engineer; Keith Hutchinson, Public Information Officer PolicyDevelopment/Review W• •r% Call to order at 5:i ( • Joint• •• with the Citizen :• • Committee Yantis introduced Chuck Croslin and Bruce Holsher of Croslin and Associates, the consultants hired to prepare drawings of the proposed facilities, who told Council that this was a three-phase effort. Croslin described the first phase as the documentation of the existing buildings and gathering of needs from the staff. He said the second phase was the design phase with preliminary concepts and elevations, and detailed cost estimates. He said the third phase, which will occur after receiving preliminary approval, is the refinement of the drawings. He said their scope included the Library, the Recreation Center and the Community Center. He explained the drawings of the proposed facilities to the Council. There were questions and comments from the Council. Hartley Sappington, spokesperson for the Citizen Bond Committee, told Council the Committee has met four times to review the concept plans and the Committee is recommending that two projects be financed with certificates of obligation, those being the fire station and the fire administration area and the Information Technology Offices. He said the Committee sees a strong need to re -do the Library. He said the Committee recommends a $10 million cap on any budget submitted. He said the Committee is very strong on combining a teen center with the remodeled recreation center, but the space should be used during all periods of the day when the teens are not there, so it was determined that "seniors" could be allowed to use the teen facility during the day. He said the recommendation for the Community Center is for Option 1, with the old magnolia tree removed, to allow improved utilization of the facility. Sappington asked for programming for the teen center. Smith asked why space for community rooms is planned to be at the Library instead of at the Community Center or the Recreation Center. Sappington said meeting rooms at the Library provide needed space for educational aspects. Eason said, in the past she has felt using that room intrudes on the use of the Library. Sappington responded that the architect can make it a compatible existance. Sansing suggested community rooms in all three facilities. Brandenburg noted that the community rooms at the Library could City Council Meeting Minutes/May 25, 2004 Page 1 of 12 Pages be used separately from the Library and could be available during the evenings so civic groups could use them. Yantis said, because of the large demand for community meeting spaces, there will be two additional community rooms, one in the current library building and the other at the north end of the new parks administration building that would have a separate kitchen and restroom facilities . Mayor Nelon asked Sappington to explain the reason for funding the fire station and the information technology spaces with certificates of obligation. Sappington said those two spaces need to be provided as soon as possible and Smith added that those needs are not discretionary. Kirby suggested that competitive bidding and alternative energy sources be included in the process. Sappington said the Committee is considering the use of recyclable material and competitive bidding. Sansing recalled that he was a member of the Green Building Association when he was a builder in Austin, and said he feels strongly about using sustainable and renewable material sources. Smith asked if there is room for future expansion at the proposed new location for the Library. Sappington said it was determined that the site should be built out completely and the thought was that in the future there will be a need to add branch libraries. Yantis said great thought went into the cost estimates of $10 million for the Library and $10 million for the Recreation Center. Snell asked if each facility would be a separate ballot issue. Yantis confirmed that the actual language of the ballot will be approved by the Council at a later date, but it is part of the Committee's recommendation that there should be three separate items on the ballot. Nelon asked and Yantis described the future timeline and activities of the Citizen Bond Committee. Yantis said there is an action item on tonight's council agenda for Council to accept the recommendation from the Committee. He said the Bond Committee will continue to work with Croslin and Associates to develop public information documents and presentations. He said the Committee will educate the public over the summer, and Council will call the election in September for November 2, 2004. He said on June 8, at the next Council Meeting, Carol Polumbo, Bond Counsel from McCall, Parkhurst will do training for the Council, Bond Committee, and staff regarding what can be said and done to educate the public regarding the bond issues. Kirby, Noble, Yantis and Nelon commended the 17 -member Citizen Bond Committee. 5:45 p.m. -- recessed B Sec.551.071: Consultation with Attorney - Pending or Threatened Litigation Brazos River Authority regarding Operations and Maintenance of the Stillhouse Raw Water Pipeline - E.O.

He submitted petitions asking for a City Election on September 11, 2004, regarding Proposition 13. Speaker, Don Padfield, gave comment on the presentation regarding Proposition 13 from Rudd and Wisdom at the Council Workshop Monday night. He cited Exhibit A-3 that shows taxes paid by citizens under 65 years of age. He said the table shows that for 30 years, the taxes would be the same. He said that couldn't be true because people are turning 65 every year. He said buying and selling the houses will create a new tax rate. He said those scenarios were not reflected in the tables presented to the Council at the workshop.

He said it was a privilege and honor to serve on the Council. He said Georgetown has many growth opportunities and he encouraged the future councils to work closely on economic development to broaden the tax base and help the citizens with the taxes, protect the downtown, and to continue to improve and expand the fire and police departments. He said he prays that God has his guiding hand on the Council. City Council Meeting Minutes/May 25, 2004 Page 3 of 12 Pages Noble thanked his wife, Gayle, staff, especially those that work behind the scenes, City Manager, City Secretary, City Attorney, Council, and Mayor. He wished Carr and Oliver "God speed," offered his help if they need it, and told the citizens and his constituents, in particular, that it has been a great honor to serve.

He thanked his wife, Susan, AND Jack Noble, Gayle Noble, Jack Stroobandt, Henry Boecker, Jo Atkins, Col. Atkins, Tom Crawford, Ed O'Rourke, and others who assisted him with his campaign. He said for about three months he believed there would be competition so he campaigned and met his constituents and his potential opponents. His goals will be to represent all parts of his district and do what's right for the entire city and continue to manage growth. Ben Oliver said this is a humbling experience for him to sit before the citizens of Georgeown. He said he expects to serve his district and the City well. He thanked all who helped him. He said he looks forward to working with the Council on what is best for Georgetown. Q Comments from current Mayor Pro Tem, Doug Smith Smith had no further comments. R Consideration of election from the dais of a Mayor Pro Tem — Mayor Gary Nelon Motion by Eason, second by Carr to nominate Smith for another term as Mayor Pro Tem. Snell said he is a good Mayor Pro Tem and strongly Secretary supports his nomination. Approved 7-0. S Swearing in of Mayor Pro Tem — Sandra Lee, City Secretary Smith was sworn in by City Secretary, Sandra Lee.

He said It was provided on the dais. He commended staff for using that rating schedule. W Consideration for the renewal of the Fire Billing for Services contract with ICProcess.com -- Anthony Lincoln, Fire Chief Peshak said at the recent plane crash, the Fire Department had no foam and couldn't keep people away from the crash site. He asked for the plan for stopping a fire if it were consuming an entire six city -block area X Consideration and possible action regarding a resolution appointing a Hearing Officer for a Joint Public City Council Meeting Minutes/May 25, 2004 Page 4 of 12 Pages Hearing to be held with respect to the issuance of Crawford Education Facilities Corporation Higher Education Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2004A (Southwestern University Project) and Variable Rate Demand Higher Education Revenue Bonds, Series 2004B (Southwestern University Project) and project financed thereby — Micki Rundell, Director of Finance and Administration Y Consideration of a resolution authorizing the Release of a Special Assessment Lien against property owned by Georgetown Railroad Company, Inc. and located at the southeast corner of Martin Luther King St. and 7th Street -- Trish Carls, City Attorney Z Consideration and possible action regarding the recommendation by the Convention and Visitors' Bureau Board for the approval of an allocation of $2300.00 in Hotel Occupancy Tax (HOT) funds to the Williamson County Art Guild for promotion of Artwalk on the Square, as well as October as Texas Month of the Arts -- Shelly Hargrove, Main Street Manager and Tourism Coordinator and Randy Morrow, Community Services Director Motion by Kirby, second by Sansing to approve the Consent Agenda in its entirety. Approved 7-0. •. • 00 -1 Public Hearings and First Readings 1. First reading of an ordinance of the City of Georgetown renaming Timber Street as an extension of Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd. -- Clay Shell, Assistant Fire Chief and Anthony Lincoln, Fire Chief Brandenburg explained that Della Green, representing the TRG Association, had come forward at a previous meeting, and she was asked to have the residents on Timber Street sign a petition showing their approval of the name change. Shell read only the caption of the ordinance on first reading after having satisfied the requirements of the City Charter. Speaker, Della Green, read a statement in Spanish and English, saying the majority of the residents did not want to change the name of the street because of the inconvenience and paperwork involved in notifying correspondents of the change. She said the TRG Association had asked to change the name because MLK is the only street that has a different name when it crosses SH29. She said there are 2 vacant houses, 8 residents against the change, one in favor, and two neutral. She said on May 17, the TRG telephoned the residents and asked them if they would allow the name to change, and most said they would, but changed their mind later. She said the TRG was interested in helping the residents get the area cleaned up. Speaker, Toni Roblez, said she doesn't want the name changed because it would be too much trouble. She said her husband, who died two years ago, was raised on Timber Street and she likes that name and wants to keep it as her address. Speaker, Sandra Orta, said the homes are not an "eyesore," but the neighborhood does need attention. She said she and her neighbors do not want the street name changed. Speaker, Albino Rabadan, and his father, Alex Rabadan, said they have lived on Timber for 10 years and they worked hard to buy the home. He said they take pride in their neighborhood and they and many of the neighbors do not want the name changed. Snell said he would like to look into City policy for changing the name of a street. Shell said Timber was changed to MLK back when the City had a different policy on addressing. He said the new policy was adopted in 2000 because of the problems with the old policy. He said because the two streets are separated by a major thoroughfare, it is not as much of an emergency service issue. Snell asked if there are any other older streets that are not within policy. Shell said there are some new realignments such as Shell Road and D. B. Woods Road and Booty's Crossing Road and Lakeway, but because they are split at major intersections, it's not as much of a problem. Motion by Smith, second by Kirby to deny the ordinance. Approved 7-0. AA Consideration and possible action to accept and acknowledge the recommendation of the Citizen Bond Committee and to direct staff to proceed to develop public information materials for a planned November 2, 2004, Bond Election for city facilities -- Tom Yantis, Assistant City Manager City Council Meeting Minutes/May 25, 2004 Page 5 of 12 Pages Yantis noted this is a follow up to the workshop item. He read the recommendation from the Bond Comittee. Motion by Snell, second by Sansing to accept the recommendation from the Citizen Bond Committee and direct staff to proceed. Carr asked about the qualifications for a certificate of obligation, and Rundell said there is no maximum amount, just the general rule that it doesnt need to go to the voters unless it would dramatically effect the tax rate or concern a decision to be made by the community. She said usually, if it is necessary to ongoing operations, it is not taken to the voters. Oliver asked, and it was confirmed that a librarian was included in the studies done for the Library. Carr asked if approving this item is a commitment to list the three bonds separately on the ballot. Yantis said that decision would be made when the Council orders the election. Approved 7-0. BB Consideration of and possible action to authorize the Mayor to sign a Letter of Interest to the Texas Department of Transportation—Aviation Division requesting that the City of Georgetown be offered a grant to construct and equip an Airtraffic Control Tower at the Georgetown Municipal Airport -- Travis McLain, Airport Manager and Tom Yantis, Assistant City Manager Mayor noted there were 28 people who signed up to speak on this item. Yantis said the Airport Advisory Board voted unanimously to recommend to the Council that a control tower be provided by the FAA. He recalled the last time this item had gone before the Council, with a 50-50 grant participation, saying now it is a 90-10 funding opportunity through the FAA. He said FAA would provide personnel and operating costs and it would be a much better arrangement for the City this time. Airport Board Chair, Mark Dietz, said closing or moving the airport would be very expensive and is not likely to happen very soon. He said the two issues of greatest concern are noise and safety. He told Council a control tower provides a safety shield up to 25,000 feet over the city with positive control of the air traffic coming in and leaving the Georgetown Airport. He said the Board has learned that the tower will not increase the number of aircraft that will come to Georgetown, saying a tower would assist in lessening the excess noise over the airport. He said the Airport Board studied the Chandler, Arizona and Grand Prairie Airports and the studies show a tower did not increase the number of operations. He told Council the expected cost is $1.2 million dollars and there is funding available at a 90-10 split, including $50,000 on deposit from airshows and from Georgetown Pilots Association contributions. Speaker, Penny Burt, suggested that Council avoid assuming a tower will be the solution to past errors in land use planning. She said the tower will not correct past mistakes, will make Georgetown the defacto regional airport, and will add controller and pilot communication errors. She quoted NTSB reports, citing pilot error for many of the accidents. Speaker, Elizabeth Hunter, said she thinks putting a tower here will make Georgetown become the Central Texas Airport. She said she thinks the study is flawed and that she thinks the consultant said what he was paid to say. Speaker, Don Dison, said the most important thing the Council can do is ensure the citizens' safety. He said no argument should ever override the eminent need to provide for the safety of all of the citizens. He urged the Council to vote for the tower. Speaker, Jack Stovall, professional pilot, told Council he operates 727's in uncontrolled airports all the time. He said he was asked to read a letter from Andy Wright, one of the pilots who crashed on the runway. The letter described Wright's injuries, and Wright said he and the other pilot are lucky to be alive. He said, in his opinion, Georgetown needs a tower. Speaker, Barry Gould, said he has a business here and flies out of the Airport every week. He said a tower will provide safety for the pilots and the people on the ground. He said general aviation aircraft cannot see above, behind, and below the cockpit, but a tower can do that for them. Speaker, Kathyrn Heidemann, said she has lived here for 27 years and only recently noticed a problem with the flight frequency. She said she thinks a tower will increase the traffic, and asked if the decision could be delayed until the Airport Master Plan is completed. Speaker, Don Allen, told Council he has been using a hangar at Georgetown Airport since December and there have been many times when he couldn't see the other pilot he heard on the radio. He said a tower would help that. Speaker, Arnold Weider, told Council he is on the Airport Board and lives under the traffic pattern of the City Council Meeting Minutes/May 25, 2004 Page 6 of 12 Pages Airport. He said Georgetown is a fiduciary for the FAA National Airport System, and the Council represents how the Airport should be maintained for the general public. He said the Airport is a gateway to the City for visitors. He said air space management cannot be done locally, it must be done by the FAA. He said Georgetown Airport is near some "vector" airways popularly used by pilots all over the state. He asked the Council to approve the tower. Speaker, Bill Eldridge, a chief flight instructor at the Airport, said he witnessed the mid-air collision on May 9, and it was a miracle that no one was killed. He said the accident could have been prevented if there were a control tower. He said he sees close calls often due to the uncontrolled nature of the air traffic. He said planes seldom need to be in the air space over Berry Creek or Serenada--only when needing to extend their pattern due to the volume of the air traffic. He urged Council to vote for the control tower. Speaker, Mike Alsup, said May 9 was a "wake up call" for the City, and he feels the City should be scared of the increase in traffic at the airport. He said if the City accepts FAA money, the City will be obligated for another 20 years. He said if the control tower is needed, the City needs to find a way to self fund it. He said he thinks the Airport can support a tower by itself. Speaker, John Bader, said he lives within three miles of the Airport and is a pilot. He said he supports a tower at the Airport. Speaker, Keith Peshak, said he tried to get the City Council and the Airport Board to visit the College Station Airport Control Tower. He said they refused to go because they want to ignore the problems with a control tower like that. He said the College Station Airport is for sale for $1 because the A & M University System doesn't want to be responsible for the errors that occur at that airport. Speaker, Howard Fomby, told Council he is a member of the Airport Board, and said he would like to clarify the public record. He said the Board has spent two years studying the subject of a control tower, and there would be another year before the construction would begin, so he doesn't think the City is acting hastily regarding the decision on the tower. He said the study was "bought," but the consultant wasn't selected by the Airport Board. He said Georgetown Airport is not a defacto airport, and the only thing that impacts growth is whether hangar space is built to handle the growth. He told Council that he feels more than adequate fire service is available, but noted that the fire chief would like to have a "crash" truck to provide foam. He said he has learned that TXDOT will help fund a "crash" truck with a 90-10 split. Speaker, Gary Onyett, said he opposes a control tower. He said the recent accident was caused by pilot error. He said he heard there won't be any FAA paid staff after hours or on weekends. 8:55 p.m. -- recessed 9:07 p.m. -- resumed Speaker, Beth Jenkins, said she has a business at the Airport and the $50,000 from the Georgetown Pilots Association represents many years of her life. She said she has bought safety items for the Airport, and the money from the last three air shows was designated by the Pilots Association to go toward the tower. She said she could tell numerous stories about close calls. She said the FAA tower during the Airshow of 2002 was only there from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. She said she still does an airshow in Temple and smaller proceeds come back to Georgetown for important items that are needed. Speaker, Joe Minarovic, said he has lived for 20 years between the two runways and helped bring the Scott and White helicopter to the Airport. He said that is "good noise" helping people in need. He said from his office at the Airport, he can hear the medivac chopper take off, saying their objective is to accomplish the quickest response possible. He said the way to support their quickest possible response would be to have a tower. He said a tower would provide improved readiness for the helicopter by giving it priority clearance. Speaker, Jim Schwertner, said he is on the Texas Aviation Advisory Board and the Site Selection Committee for the Central Texa Aviation Airport. He said Georgetown is not on the list for the "big" airport. He said maintenance for the tower and all personnel will be paid by the FAA. He asked the Council to consider enhancing safety with a tower. Morgan Vermer, from the audience, said he is in favor of the tower. Chuck Fisher, from the audience, said he is in favor of the tower. City Council Meeting Minutes/May 25, 2004 Page 7 of 12 Pages Speaker, Don Pfiester, told Council he lives off the north end of the north runway and is on the Airport Board. He said a little less than three years ago he came before the Council to ask that a control tower be built. He said there is more need now than before. He said he witnessed the crash at the Airport. He said the tower would not add 20 years to the obligation. He said the tower won't stop all accidents but will help prevent mid-air collisions like the one on Mothers Day. He said the City needs to address the liability issue. He said he doesn't think there will be many increases in operations. He said the tower will be staffed 16 hours each day, from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. seven days a week. Speaker, Paul Smith, told Council he has lived here for five years. He said he is with the National Airport Business Association which has 600 member corporations that operate 9500 aircraft. He said In Texas there are 700 member companies with 760 aircraft. He said the site selection committee isn't considering Georgetown for the Regional Airport. He told Council that towers provide aircraft separation and it will be safer for everyone if there is a tower. Mary Jane Kaylakie, from the audience, said she is in favor of the tower Speaker, Chris Kaylakie, said he is a pilot for a regional airport and used to work as a flight instructor at Georgetown Airport. He said the Airport generates revenue and should have a tower for the safety of those who work there and live around it. He said the near misses he has witnessed have been at airports without control towers. Speaker, Wade Costellanos, told Council he works at Georgetown Airport and is a crew member of a B-25 kept at the Airport. He said the controller doesn't tell the pilots to take off, the controller gives them clearance. William Morse, from the audience, said he is a pilot and is in favor of the tower. Bryan Madeley, had left the meeting. Speaker, Ron Draeger, said the primary function of government is to provide for the safety of the citizens, and by providing a tower at the airport, the City will greatly enhance the safety of the citizens. He asked Council to support the request for the tower. Speaker, Tim Sullivan, said three years ago he was opposed to the control tower because he thought it would briing more traffic. He said more traffic came anyway. He said over the past three years, there may even be a little less activity since Curry Aviation has gone to Temple. Speaker, Tom Mulcahey, told Council he lives off of Runway 1- 8. He said he was an air traffic controller and that controllers don't order an aircraft to do anything, they provide clearance for the aircraft's path. The pilot's responsibility is to refuse to take off in any unsafe conditions. He said the controller's responsibility is to separate the aircraft. He said he would prefer that aircraft at the Georgetown Airport have an extra set of eyes with a control tower. Snell asked whether other kinds of aircraft would be tempted to use our airport if there is a tower. McLain said the kind of aircraft that come now are the only kind of aircraft that can use the airport due to the size of the runways. Snell asked how a tower without radar can work at night when planes are coming in. Mulcahey responded that the controller can provide local service only --what he can see with binoculars. He said there is a distance in which the aircraft must be in radio contact. Eason asked about the liability issue and whether the City's liability changes with a tower. Carls said she would be glad to research with outside counsel. Eason also asked, if the City built the tower on its own, if the City would have any authority equal to the FAA. Yantis said the City would probably not build a tower that they couldn't staff. Carr asked about warrants to qualify for having *a-tewer radar. He was told that the tower that is proposed will be a "visual only" tower, saying radar would need to be justified by the FAA controllers that work the tower. He was told that Killeen and the Army have a joint use agreement for a military tower with radar. Carr also asked If anything more could be learned by waiting for the Master Plan to be complete. Yantis said there would be nothing further from the consultant relative to the tower. He said the final steps in the MasterPlan do not pertain to noise and safety. (*as corrected by Snell at the June 8, 2004 Council Meeting.) Smith asked if the tower funding comes from the FAA. Yantis said it is federal money through TXDOT. City Council Meeting Minutes/May 25, 2004 Page 8 of 12 Pages Smith asked if Georgetown is guaranteed the funding. Schwertner, from the audience, said right now the money is available. Yantis said a grant application was authorized, and TXDOT said they will change the percentage and send it back through for approval. Oliver asked about the timeline. Yantis said once TXDOT receives the leiter of interest, they will submit it to the FAA in July or early August, then once approved, advertise for bids. Motion by Kirby, second by Sansing to move forward with the letter of interest for the tower. Smith said he voted against it before, but the change of funding percentage and the presence of the Scott and White helicopter, have changed his mind. Approved 7-0. CC Discussion and possible action to direct staff to prepare an ordinance that would amend (in part) and repeal (in part) Ordinance No. 2004-16, relating to amounts of Homestead Tax Exemptions for persons age 65 and older and disabled persons, and regarding the effect on the amounts of the Homestead Tax Exemptions of an Election on or passage of a "Tax Freeze" -- Councilmember Farley Snell Snell said he is now convinced that there is no way to prevent "double-dipping," but the timing is such if an exemption is enacted, a subsequent election could be held. Motion by Snell, second by Sansing to instruct staff to prepare an ordinance which would have the effect of dealing with Ordinance 2004-16 by changing the exemption back to $12,000, leaving in the $40,000 for the disabled, and removing all references to the "freeze." iV[otion by Oliver, second by Kirby to divide the motion. Denied 5-2. (Eason, Smith, Carr, Snell, Sansing opposed) Smith said he thinks exemptions benefit the people who really need the assistance. He said although he thinks there may be some possibility to "double -dip," he thinks an exemption is the prudent approach. Sansing agreed with Smith. Kirby said he agreed, but said he wishes there were some kind of "means" test for exemptions. Carr said the people in District 4 have a great interest in the exemptions and their message is that the majority do not want a tax reduction by way of an exemption, but what they really want is to utilize Proposition 13 that gives them some surety about their future tax bill. He said he would support this new ordinance. it was clarified that the prier_ *previous ordinance puts the exemptions "back to zero" as of 6:00 p.m. tonight when the petitions were submitted. *Snell noted that the certification of the petitions and the calling of the election and the second reading of the ordinance will occur at the same meeting. Carls explained that the sunset provision that was part of 2004-16 said, passed an ordinance implementing the tax freeze, or called an election on the tax freeze, the exemptions would roll back to the statutory minimum.
