Needed capital improvements are identified through system models, repair and maintenance records, and growth. The City uses a team approach to prioritizing capital improvement projects, whereby City staff from all operational areas provide input and ideas relating to each project and its effect on operations, such as: Fire and Police Services staff provides insight into a project’s impact on emergency traffic responses, public lighting issues and other public safety concerns. Development Services staff gives direction regarding new development and the infrastructure needs relating to this growth. Other utility departments, such as the Street Department, Water and Wastewater Departments exchange information regarding each project and coordinated timing of many of the related projects in an effort to create less inconvenience for the citizens affected. By using this team approach, the City develops cooperation among the departments, identifies potential problem areas, and prioritizes financing issues. The Capital Improvements Projects (CIP) generally consist of infrastructure and related construction and do not include small capital items such as furniture, equipment and vehicles. Significant maintenance projects, such as street overlay are not included in the capital project schedules. These maintenance type projects are not capitalized as a fixed asset and are always cash funded, therefore, they are considered operational in nature and are included in the departmental operating budget. The CIP schedules consolidate the capital spending priorities for all operating activities of the City, including all governmental and enterprise activities that provide services to the citizens of Georgetown. The CIP Schedules are included as part of the annual operating budget. The first year of the list becomes the capital budget for the approved budget year. The following pages outline the CIP Schedule for each activity and include anticipated projects, current year project location and sources of funding. 2002/03 Capital Improvement Summary Georgetown Utility Systems/Infrastructure Energy Services/Electric 3,572,700 Transportation Services Streets 460,000 Stormwater Drainage 420,000 Water Services Wastewater 4,460,000 Water 3,460,000 Irrigation 1,400,000 General Capital Projects - Facilities & Other General Capital Projects 897,000 Airport 510,000 Total Projects 15,179,700 Issuance Costs for Revenue Debt 235,000 TOTAL CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT COSTS 15,414,700 162 Streets Capital Improvements The Streets Department manages, maintains and repairs City streets and rights-of-way. General maintenance, such as overlay, seal coat, sidewalk repairs and micro-surfacing, is included in the departmental budget in the General Fund. The capital budget includes new transportation construction projects and major rehabilitation of the City’s roadway systems. Construction of new streets in Georgetown are planned through a coordinated planning process of the City and the Georgetown Transportation Enhancement Corporation (GTEC), which administers the Section 4B ½ cent sales tax for new transportation projects for economic development. 4-B Transportation Projects – Georgetown Transportation Enhancement Corporation The citizens of Georgetown approved a ½ cent additional sales tax for funding transportation improvements in May 2001. Collection began in October 2001. The GTEC Board prepares a five year Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP), which is reviewed and adjusted annually, and adopts an annual budget. Public hearings are held for the project budgets. The City Council reviews and approves the annual GTEC budget. The GTEC budget is separate from City funding, however the planning process is integrated into the City’s CIP process for implementation of transportation projects. Copies of the 2002/03 GTEC budget and TIP are included in the reference section of this document. Streets Capital Projects - 2002/03 Hutto Road - Hwy 29 to Quail Valley 150,000 Country Club 20,000 Austin Avenue Bridge Lighting 40,000 Railroad Street 50,000 Airport Road 100,000 Rehabilitation of Downtown Streets 100,000 Total Streets Capital Improvements 460,000 C.I.P. 2002/2003 - STREET SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS 164 Streets Capital Projects - 2003 Project Descriptions: x Hutto Road – HWY29 to Quail Valley The Hutto Road project will rehabilitate the section of roadway from Highway 29 East to Quail Valley Drive. This rehabilitation will replace badly deteriorated curbs and level and overlay the street. A wastewater line will be replaced in conjunction with this project. xCountry Club/Rivery Realignment at Williams Drive The alignment at Williams Drive will provide improved mobility and safety for traffic in the Williams Drive, Country Club Road and IH 35 frontage road area. The construction phase of this project began in fiscal year 2002. Included in the construction of this project is a 16-inch water line. xAustin Avenue Bridge Lighting This project will be done in conjunction with the Texas Department of Transportation’s (TxDot) proposed bridge widening project on Austin Avenue. TxDot will install lights on Austin Avenue from 6th Street to the Williams Drive intersection. The City will reimburse the State for any additional costs associated with upgrading the lighting. xRailroad Street Railroad Street was built to provide additional north to south traffic movement from Leander Road to University Avenue. Reconstruction of Railroad Street between University Avenue and 10th Street in conjunction with realigning the intersection with 10th Street will improve the flow of traffic from University to West Street. The current year funding includes determining alignment and the engineering for the project. xAirport Road Increased traffic on the road, as well as the lack of adequate drainage on the roadway has caused the road to rapidly deteriorate. This project will add ditches in the rights-of-way to allow proper drainage, correction of road failures and resurfacing where needed. xRehabilitation of Downtown Streets The downtown rehabilitation project is one of a series of projects to restore the streets in the vicinity of the Square. 7th and 8th Streets, between Austin Avenue and Main Street are to be milled, resurfaced and evaluated for proper drainage. Financial Impact: Previously issued general obligation debt will fund the completion of Country Club. The other projects are funded through service improvement fees and other operating revenue. Maintenance Funds are budgeted at $825,000, which is the same amount as the previous two years. This budget does a limited amount of seal coat, overlay and micro-surfacing of existing streets. New streets funded through GTEC revenues can be maintained by GTEC revenues. The City will place a proposal on the November 2002 ballot for voters to decide on whether to implement an additional ¼ cent sales tax, which is an option currently allowed by House Bill 445 of the Texas Legislature specifically for the maintenance of existing streets. Should voters choose to adopt this sales tax, a projected additional $800,000 per year could be available for street maintenance. If this tax is not adopted, the City will continue to strategize the means to fund the on-going maintenance of city streets.

The system has expanded rapidly the past five years and the City has begun preparation for a deregulated electric environment. During 2002/03, the City expects continued rapid growth in its electric system. The City has developed a five-year Capital Improvements Program to identify and prioritize construction and replacement needs for the electric utility. The program is designed to maintain adequate capacity to serve the anticipated loads and maintain acceptable voltage at all points on the distribution system, as well as address the continued residential growth in the City. The format of the adopted budget for the Electric Fund and Capital Improvements Program has changed in order to meet the challenges of electric de-regulation. Although the City has not elected to “opt-in” to the de-regulated market, the strategy continues to be to work towards a possible opt-in election in the future. This presentation has been designed to provide commensurate information that is available for other municipalities and investor owned utilities operating in Texas and is therefore in summarized presentation, rather than in detail. Electric Capital Projects - Five Year Plan: The City’s five year Capital Improvements Program is projected to be funded through a combination of cash and debt funding, based on financial forecasting of the Electric Fund. Actual amount of debt issues will be determined upon each individual year’s consideration of actual resources available, coverage requirements and other considerations.

Water and Wastewater needs are triggered by continued growth, service to annexed areas, improving service to areas that have been identified as having service level issues, and the rehabilitation of aging infrastructure. It is the Department’s intent to provide water and wastewater services that meet changing state and federal requirements and provide a superior level of service to the residents of Georgetown.

The plant expansion will add 1.25 mgd to the existing 1.25 mgd capacity. The first phase of the project, funded in 2002/03, is for the engineering work for the project. Construction is anticipated in 2003/04. xGabriel View Wastewater Line The existing wastewater main, located behind residences on Gabriel View, will be replaced and connected with the new wastewater line along County Club. xGolden Oaks Lift Station Installation of approximately 1,000 linear feet of new gravity line that will connect with the Pecan Branch Interceptor line and the newly constructed Pecan Branch Wastewater Treatment Plant will be funded through this project. xBerry Creek Expansion This project expands the treatment plant capacity of the Berry Creek Wastewater Treatment Plan from 0.100 MGD to 0.200. This expansion will allow the plant to adequately handle the additional flow to the plant from the immediate areas, as well Serenada and new areas of theBerry Creek subdivision. xTRE Remediation Toxicity Reduction Evaluation project installs the necessary augmented treatment to locate, isolate, and remove chemicals present in wastewater from industrial customers. xEdward’s Compliance Chapter 213 This project is a Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), formerly the TNRCC, mandated compliance requirement for the Edwards Aquifer. This requirement involves testing to locate and repair any structural damage and defects that potentially pose a threat to the Edwards Aquifer. Damage Assessment, record keeping, rehabilitation approval and scheduling to meet compliance are some of the rules outlined in Chapter 213 of the program. Because the City’s service area is approximately 98% over the Edward’s Aquifer recharge zone, the project is expected to span eight years at an estimated cost of $7 million to $8 million. x8th and Church Older clay lines in the downtown 8th and Church Street area will be replaced because these lines are operating in excess of existing capacity. xLakeway Phase I – Wastewater Line Upgrade The line from Broken Spoke to Northwest Boulevard will be constructed to accommodate new commercial growth in the Williams Drive and Lakeway area. Portions of the existing line are currently operating at or above their capacity. xGeorgetown Village Oversizing This project is a new line constructed to serve the Georgetown Village subdivision. The line will be oversized to handle additional capacity from Serenada. xRock Street Lift Station upgrade An additional wet well will be constructed to increase the capacity of the lift station, which is currently operating at near capacity. This project will bring the lift station in compliance with new state standards. C.I.P. 2002/2003 - WASTEWATER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS 171 Financial Impact: Maintenance budgets are reviewed each year to determine whether planned funds are sufficient to adequately maintain the existing infrastructure. The following graph depicts the costs of raw water purchases, the treatment cost and other maintenance costs. These costs have ranged from 6-8% of the value of the infrastructure over the past five years. The City uses this estimate, along with other factors, to forecast future costs in a 5 year financial model, which also predicts the timing of future rate increases. The factors also include expansion of treatment plants for residential growth and the cost of known and predicted mandates for wastewater systems over the Edward’s Aquifer. Because 98% of the City’s service area is located over the Edwards Aquifer, the City’s costs are significantly impacted each time a new Edwards mandate is enacted. The City adjusted rates in 2002/03 to implement the first phase of testing for leaks and other repairs for Chapter 213 of the Edward Aquifer Protection Program compliance. Future rate increases are predicted and will occur as the cost of making the necessary changes in the system are known.

A five-year capital improvements program has been established to identify and prioritize critical projects for the system. The Wastewater improvements being recommended continue to address undersized sanitary sewer mains in the City’s Old Town area and the rehabilitation of sanitary sewer mains that may be experiencing inflow and infiltration (I&I) throughout the City. An aggressive sanitary sewer main improvement program eliminates the potential for sanitary sewer overflows (SSO) and allows for the delivery of reliable wastewater service to the community.

It is the City’s intent to provide water and wastewater services that meet changing state and federal requirements and provide a superior level of service to the residents of Georgetown. The water system continues to recognize the population growth within its service area. The current demand on the water system is met by upgrading water treatment plants, water booster stations to deliver water from treatment facilities and the replacement of older system lines and mains. The City has provided service for over one hundred years and some of the early infrastructure installed has well exceeded its useful life and requires extensive repair or replacement.

It also includes replacing alum pumps and valves on the anhydrous ammonia tank at the Lake Treatment Plant. xInner Loop East Water Line This 16” water line project will include one phase of the proposed system loop designed to assist the San Gabriel Water Treatment Plant with capacity issues. This portion of the loop will run from Austin Avenue to the Churchill Farms area. Future system design will includes line that will bring water from the Southside Plant to better utilize the Rabbit Hill Storage Tank. xElevated Storage Tank The engineering phase of the elevated storage tank for Sun City will take place in the 2002/03 fiscal year. Construction of the tank is scheduled for 2003/04, with an estimated construction cost of $1,200,000. xSoutside MGD Purchase This budget includes the funding to purchase a 1.2 mgd microfiltration unit from Jonah Water Special Utility District. This unit was installed by the Jonah SUD through a joint agreement for operations at the City’s Southside Treatment Plant. Because the City now needs capacity at this plant and Jonah wishes to sell the unit, this budget includes the purchase price. 177 Financial Impact: Maintenance budgets are reviewed each year to determine whether planned funds are sufficient to adequately maintain the existing infrastructure. Operational costs will increase as the demand for water increases due to the cost of treatment. The following graph depicts the costs of raw water purchases, the treatment cost and other maintenance costs. These costs have ranged from 7-8% of the value of the infrastructure over the past five years. The City uses this estimate, along with other factors, to forecast future costs in a 5 year financial model, which also predicts the timing of future rate increases. The factors also include the Brazos River Authority’s contract with the City, which provides for a 15% annual increase in the cost of raw water.

Providing a non-potable source of irrigation water provides for a more efficient use of City resources by reducing the demand on the City’s water plants for treated water. Projects for the upcoming five years have been planned to expand this new utility. Irrigation Capital Projects - 2003 Project Description: xRivery Park This project will extend reuse water infrastructure by adding 10,000 linear feet of 8” reuse line connecting the San Gabriel Park Irrigation Tank to the Georgetown Country Club, through the Rivery Development. Included in this project is the rehabilitation of the San Gabriel Park Tank and pumps. Financial Impact: Operational and maintenance costs for the irrigation infrastructure are not expected to significantly impact operating budgets. The 2003 irrigation improvements are funded through debt issued and Irrigation revenue.

The plan has focused on meeting the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Phase II regulations and requirements regarding stormwater control in municipalities. The City is initiating a program to create an extensive Stormwater Drainage mapping system. The information and data derived from a Regional Stormwater Master Plan and Design Manual will be utilized by the City to begin implementation of regional stormwater control and to monitor the water quality of stormwater runoff.

The locations proposed for 2003 include sections of Pine Street north of State Highway 29 East. This project will complete missing sections of curbing in these areas. x13th and Pine The upgrade and replacement of existing storm drain structures and conveyances in this area are included in the 2003 budget, to correct undersized drainage infrastructure that causes flooding during every moderate to heavy rain event. xChurchill Farms and Serenada This project consists of regrading ditches, slopes and ponds throughout these two subdivisions. Regrading of the drainageways will decrease maintenance, improve water quality and create space to be utilized by the neighborhoods. Financial Impact: The Stormwater Drainage fees fund the maintenance of the City’s drainage system and the debt payments for existing debt on previous drainage improvements. Operational and maintenance costs for the stormwater infrastructure have significantly increased over the past few years, as shown in the graph. The City predicts that maintenance costs will escalate for the next five to eight years and then level off as drainage problems in the City are corrected.

Although the City is working on a source of revenues for future projects, a five year plan has been developed to identify and prioritize projects. Stormwater Capital Projects - Five Year Plan: The City will be determining a source of revenue to fund the EPA Phase II regulations, the Regional Stormwater Plan, and other requirements regarding stormwater control within municipalities. The most likely revenue source is through increased stormwater fees, paid by each utility customer within the City.

The plan is coordinated with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDot) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), who provide partial funding for many of the infrastructure improvements needed. A five year plan for capital improvements has been developed, however actual projects will be approved dependent upon grant funding and other available revenue. Airport Capital Projects - 2003 Project Descriptions: xFence Replacement The City will replace the eight foot game proof fence on the west side of the airport, including upgrading the wooden posts to steel. xEntitlement Grant The City has applied for funding for street and taxiway rehabilitation. Funding is pending final Council approval. Financial Impact: The cost of maintenance on proposed expansion to the Airport is considered before a determination to construct new facilities is made. Rehabilitation of existing infrastructure is completed through grant funding by TxDot and the FAA. Typically, the City matches 10% of the cost of infrastructure with grant funding providing the balance of the construction budget. The goal of the Airport Fund is to continue to be a self-supporting operation.

The plan is a living document, as it changes periodically, to accommodate the City’s need to use existing facilities to their fullest capacity and maintain an acceptable tax rate for citizens. The City also adopted an updated Parks Master Plan, which will have an impact on this plan in future years. The City plans a major review and update of the Facility Plan in 2002/03. General Capital Projects, Facilities and Other - 2003 Project Descriptions: While the entire amount of available funds from the bond issue for the various projects have been appropriated in 2002/03, the timing of these projects could span into 2003/04. xMunicipal Compound Remodel (old C3 Facility) The new facility acquired in 2001 is currently being remodeled to accommodate the Georgetown Utility Systems, Planning and Development and the Utility Billing Office. This year’s funding includes the final change orders, landscaping and other outstanding issues for the facility. xParks Maintenance Building (old GUS Facility) When the Georgetown Utility Systems administration moves to the Municipal Compound, the building located in San Gabriel Park will be remodeled to house Parks Administration and Parks Maintenance Departments. xAnimal Shelter (old GUS Pumps Building) When the Pumps Department moves to the Municipal Compound with GUS Administration, the building that previously housed Pumps will be remodeled for the City’s Animal Shelter.
