Capital Improvement Projects
The City of Georgetown annually updates and adopts a five-year Capital Improvements Project (CIP) Schedule
as part of the operating budget adoption process. 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.
Planning & Development staff gives direction regarding new development and the infrastructure needs
relating to this growth.
Other utility departments, such as the Street Department, Electric Department and Water Services
Department 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.

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. In November 2002, voters passed a 0.25 percent sales tax increase that became
effective April 1, 2003. The new tax can be used to make improvements to streets in existence at the time of the
election and can not be used for construction of new streets. 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. A copy of the 2003/04 GTEC budget is included in the reference
section of this document.

Electric Capital Improvements
The Electric Department manages the City’s electric distribution system. The system has expanded rapidly the
past five years and the City has begun preparation for a deregulated electric environment. During 2003/04, the
City expects continued growth in its electric system, as the southern portion of the service territory is developed.
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.

Wastewater Capital Projects – Five Year Plan:
While the City continues to plan for growth, rehabilitation of old infrastructure continues to be a priority for the
Wastewater utility. 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.

Water Services - Water Capital Projects
The City’s Water Department continues to recognize the population growth within its service area. The water
demand is projected to grow by approximately 25% over the next five years. The City will meet its water demands
from the newly expanded Lake Water Treatment Plant. With the completion of this expansion in the summer of
2003, the City will be able to meet its needs for treated water for the next several years.

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 7-10% 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.

Water Services - Irrigation Capital Projects
The City has created an Irrigation Utility to provide a source of irrigation to meet the needs for large commercial
irrigation customers, such as golf courses. 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.

Stormwater Capital Projects
The City created a five-year Capital Improvement Program to address drainage needs throughout the City. 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.

Stormwater Capital Projects - 2004 Project Descriptions:
xRegional Stormwater and Stormwater Implementation
This funding includes the completion of the Regional Stormwater design manual and funding needed to
begin implementation of the Regional Plan.
x13th and Pine
This project consists of replacing and upgrading existing storm drain structures and conveyances. This
intersection floods during moderate to heavy rain due to undersized structures.
xChurchill Farms and Serenada
This project consists of regrading ditches, slopes and ponds throughout these two subdivisions.
Regrading of the drainage ways will decrease maintenance, improve water quality and create space to
be utilized by the neighborhoods.
xRiverbend & Power Road
This project consists of replacement of the failing standup curbing with curb and gutter. This improvement
project will protect the road from further deterioration along the shoulders of the roadway.
xDrainage Projects
This budget consists of major rehabilitation and repairs as needed for drainage problem areas throughout
the City.
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.
