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.

Water Services
Georgetown Utility Systems Water Services Utility maintain a Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to
address the community’s need for superior water, wastewater, and irrigation service. This CIP is
determined by many factors including on-going annexation, service improvement, the rehabilitation of
aging water and wastewater infrastructure, and the need to meet changing state and federal
requirements.
The City operates four water treatment plans and five wastewater treatment plants. The table below lists
the plants and the plant’s current capacity. Water Services retains ownership of these plants and
contracts for their operation. The City’s water supply is 50% ground water and 50% surface water.

Growth
Population growth within the Water Utility service area continues to drive the need for capital
improvement. The City of Georgetown’s water and wastewater demand is projected to grow by
approximately 42% over the next five years. The City will continue to meet its water demands from
existing treatment capacity in the recently
completed Lake Water Treatment Plant
expansion. Expansion of the Irrigation
Reuse utility will help delay the need for
additional water treatment construction.
Wastewater flows are also anticipated to
grow by approximately 44% over the next
five years. Expansion of the Berry Creek
Wastewater Treatment Plant and Dove
Springs Wastewater Treatment Plant will
allow the City to be able to meet its needs
for wastewater treatment for the next
several years. The growth in wastewater
flows exceeds the growth of water
treatment because the wastewater
service area is larger than the water
service area.

Water Wastewater
Age
One of the greatest issues facing Water Services is the replacement of older water and wastewater
system mains. The City of Georgetown has been providing water and wastewater service for over one
hundred years. Some of the early infrastructure has exceeded its useful life and requires extensive repair
or replacement to continue the delivery of reliable service to the community.
The Wastewater improvements being recommended continue the rehabilitation of sanitary sewer mains
that may be experiencing inflow and infiltration 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.
Regulatory Changes
The City of Georgetown is subject to
requirements of the Edwards Aquifer
Recharge Zone (EARZ) rules because
98% of the City is over the Edwards
Aquifer Recharge Zone. The regulatory
requirements of the Texas Commission
on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) require
annual testing of at least 20% of the
collection system every year, thus testing
the entire system every 5 years. In
2002/03, the TCEQ approved the City’s
eight-year plan to implement these rules.
2004/05 is the third year of this plan to
bring Georgetown’s system into
compliance. The testing is included in the
Wastewater CIP program. Once
problems are identified, the City has
twelve (12) months to make repairs. A significant portion of the capital budget for the Wastewater Utility
is dedicated for inspection and repair of existing mains over the next six years.

* 2005 & 2009 include Wastewater plant expansion projects.
In 2003, the City updated its impact fees to more adequately reflect the cost of providing water and wastewater service.
The current fees are $2,295 for water and $1,869 for wastewater. Revenues from impact fees are expected to increase
as the inventory of platted lots is depleted and new lots under the new fees are developed.

Water Services Capital Improvement Program
2004/05 to 2008/09
The City’s five year Capital Improvement Program funding comes from a combination of cash, debt funding, and capital
recovery fees. Actual amount of debt issues will be determined upon each individual year’s consideration of actual
resources available, coverage requirement and other considerations.

Transportation Services
Transportation Services manages, maintains and repairs City streets and right-of-way. Some of the
additional responsibilities of the Street Department include traffic control, emergency response operations,
special events, and assistance in code enforcement. Daily responsibilities include inspection of roadways for
sign repair, pavement management and removal of sight obstructions. Transportation Services has
experienced a growth in demand for maintenance and rehabilitation of the City’s roadway system. Over the
last ten years, the street network has grown by 73% (see chart).
The Street Department Capital Improvement Budget
includes maintenance and rehabilitation of the City’s
roadway system and support of new transportation
construction projects. Funding for maintenance and
rehabilitation from the City’s General Fund is
approximately $825,000 annually.
Street Maintenance Sales Tax
In November 2002, voters passed a quarter-cent sales tax
increase that became effective April 1, 2003. Proceeds
from the new tax can only be used to make improvements
to streets in existence at the time of the election and
cannot be used for construction of new streets.
Revenues from this tax equal approximately $1.1 million per year for maintenance and rehabilitation of City
streets. The tax has a sunset provision and will end if the voters do not renew the tax in March 2007.
Georgetown Transportation Enhancement Corporation
In May 2001, voters approved a 4B half-cent sales tax for transportation improvements that provide
economic benefit to the community. The 4B is known as the Georgetown Transportation Enhancement
Corporation (GTEC). GTEC approves projects funded through this sales tax.
The City adopted its Transportation Plan in 2004 to guide the City’s growth and development. It’s through
this plan that future road construction is projected. As part of this process, the GTEC board approves its
annual Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) which includes projects identified in the City’s overall
Transportation Plan that meet the GTEC guidelines. The TIP is a five-year projection and is updated
annually with year one being the annual GTEC budget this is approved by the City Council. GTEC project
listing is included in the reference section of this document.
Historic Downtown
In the past few years, several rehabilitation and maintenance projects have focused on the Historic
Downtown Square Area. The City will continue efforts to maintain and rehabilitate Historic Georgetown, as
well as keep pace with the growth of our community.
GASB 34 – Modified Approach
The Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement Number 34 allows for an alternative to
depreciation expense for certain infrastructure, termed the modified approach. The following conditions must
be met:
• The government manages the eligible assets using an asset management system to:
o Keep an up-to-date asset inventory,
o Perform condition assessments and report the results on a measurement scale, and
o Estimate the annual amount to maintain and preserve the eligible infrastructure assets at the
condition level established and disclosed by the government
• The government must document that the eligible assets are being preserved approximately at or
above the condition level established and disclosed by the government
The City anticipates using the modified approach for streets and drainage infrastructure prospectively. In
2004, the City completed its inventory and valuation and will perform its condition assessments in 2005. The
City is implementing a pavement management system to administer this program.

The capital budget includes major rehabilitation of the City's roadway systems. In November 2002, voters approved a
quarter cent sales tax for maintenance of existing City streets. This sales tax revenue provides the majority of funding for
street rehabiliation projects over the next three years. This tax will go before the voters again in November 2007 for
renewal.

Main Street is one of Georgetown's oldest streets. This project is focused on two sections of Main Street. The first part,
between 9th and University, has edges that are unraveling and causing road failures. The second part, between
University and 21st, has water seeping through cracks that are causing distortions and failure. Both sections will receive
new curbs and resurfacing. These improvements will greatly enhance the appearance of this historic street.

The Country Club realignment project caused many vehicles to use these parallel streets as an alternative route to
Williams Drive. The added traffic on these residential streets has caused numerous failures. Both of these roadways
were constructed with standup curb that has cracked with age and allowed water to seep under the road's edge. This
project will repair existing failures, replace the curb and resurface the roads.

Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Projects funded by the Street Maintenance Sales Tax are listed below.
City of Georgetown, Texas
Stormwater Drainage Utility
The Stormwater Drainage Utility manages and maintains stormwater infrastructure operations and
facilities. Some of the additional responsibilities of the Stormwater Drainage Utility are assisting other
Divisions in City code enforcement. Daily responsibilities include drainage and flood control when
needed, right-of-way mowing and cleaning, street sign maintenance and street cleaning operations.
The Stormwater Drainage Utility has been focusing on meeting the Environmental Protection Agency’s
Phase II regulations and requirements regarding stormwater control in municipalities.
The City is in the process of adopting the Regional Stormwater Master Plan (RSMP) to mitigate detention
ponds and the Stormwater Drainage Criteria Manual in conjunction with the Unified Development Code.
Water quality (filtration) ponds are site specific and are integral part of the system. These will be the
primary tools utilized by the City to implement the Regional Stormwater Management Program. The
RSMP allows for the City to monitor and control stormwater runoff, while presenting developers the
options of either participating in Regional Stormwater Management or providing on-side detention. The
RSMP addresses the quantity of stormwater runoff while the quality of stormwater runoff is addressed
with on-site filtration ponds.
Funding for implementation of the RSMP is being developed, and will probably consist of a combination
of future revenue debt, development fees and other operating revenues. This funding plan will be
completed in 2004/05 with the final adoption of the RSMP.
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 a combination of stormwater fees and developer fees paid in-lieu of
onsite detention.

Energy Services
The City of Georgetown electric distribution system is a dynamic, rapidly growing environment. In the
past five years, the City has done well to meet the demand requirements of the expanding system.
During Fiscal Year 2004/05, the City of Georgetown electric distribution system is expected to continue to
experience rapid growth. Due to the continued growth the system has experienced in the last decade,
and with the anticipated growth in both the commercial-industrial and residential sectors, GUS Electric
undertook a system study in 2003.
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. The 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 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.

General Government Capital Improvements
In September 2003, City Council adopted a Facilities Plan to guide the planning and construction of city
facilities. The plan addresses immediate, five-year and long-term facility needs. Upon adoption, Council
hired an architecture firm and appointed a Citizens Bond Committee. The 2004/05 Capital Improvement
Plan addresses some immediate needs identified by the Facilities Plan, as well as, projects included in
the Parks Master Plan and Downtown Master Plan. Long term needs funded by voter approved bonds
are not included until those bonds are approved. A $22 million bond proposal is being proposed in
November 2004 to address a new library, expansion at the Recreation Center, and renovation of the
Community Center.
The Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) includes projects to address immediate needs identified in the
Facilities Plan. The 2004/05 CIP includes funds to design a new station for the relocation of Fire Station
#1. The CIP also includes funds for building improvements at current City facilities. The CIP includes
funding to repair the roof at Grace Church. Improvements at the Georgetown Municipal Complex include
flooring and automatic gates. Other building improvements include a fire alarm system at City Hall, as
well as security cameras at the Tennis Center.
Also included is funding for the implementation of the
Downtown Master Plan. The General CIP includes
funding for sidewalk and landscape improvements on
Main Street and a pedestrian bridge over the San
Gabriel River. Both of these projects are associated
with economic development, and will help maintain
the viability of downtown. Other elements of the
Downtown Master Plan are included in the Utilities
CIP, such as a regional water quality pond for the
downtown area. The master projects section of this
document includes a total cost for the Downtown
Master Plan implementation included in the 2004/05
CIP.
In 2003, the Parks Division completed the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan. The plan’s
intent is to provide a guide of the development of the park system through the year 2012. The plan was
prepared with input from the community, the City Council, the Parks Board and City Staff. Elements of
this plan are incorporated into the 2004/05 Capital Improvement Program (CIP), including the
development of the Westside Park located on city owned property next the airport. The CIP also includes
funding for park improvements, such as playground equipment.
Airport
The Airport Division is currently in the process of
updating the Master Plan for the Airport. The last
Master Plan was conducted in 1998. The Master
Plan is a long-range plant to guide current and future
activity at the Airport. The Master Plan update will
address current airport conditions, regional aviation
trends, adjacent land uses, zoning, facility
requirements, airport layout plans, aviation demand
forecast, noise issues, financial projections,
economic impacts, and minimum standards for
airport usage. The update will provide a 20-year
long-range plan.

Projected
Due to the demographic growth of Georgetown, the number of emergency responses has expanded and the location of
Fire Station #1 needs to be assessed and located in an area that will adequately provide for the initial response coverage
of the district area within a 1 1/2 minute range. The emergency response from the downtown area is complex and unsafe
due to the congestion of the parking and pedestrians. The apparatus bay area was originally designed in the 70's and is
not adequate for the current or future apparatus placement.
