H Public hearing on the annexation of approximately 1,386 acres in the Antonio Flores and John Berry
Surveys, including the Crystal Knoll Terrace Unit One subdivision, the Pecan Branch Concept Plan area,
the Chisholm Park Concept Plan area, and the Sunflower Concept Plan area -- Ed Barry and Clyde von
Rosenberg
von Rosenberg explained that this was the second of the two required public hearings.
Dr. Wade Burton, 402 Caladium Drive, Crystal Knoll, said he was in favor of annexing the area surrounding
the right of way for the proposed State Highway 130; however, he is opposed to separating the two sections
of the Crystal Knoll Subdivision by the annexation, making the property values different in the two sections.
He also said he thought it would be very confusing to the police officers as far as where their jurisdiction
stops and starts.
Bain asked if Council had received any more information regarding how the financing works for that
subdivision. Hoyt voiced concern about the number of lots yet to be financed in Section 1.
Tony Gaunt, 170 Haverland Drive, noted that he had also spoken at the previous public hearing. He
presented a petition to the Council containing signatures from the landowner; around the Haverland Drive
area, stating that they are opposed to the annexation.
At this time, Wood recognized Rick Jones.
Jones noted that there was a problem at the apartment where he used to live. He said there were fire ants in the
transformer and it burned out many of his appliances. He said he is one of four apartment dwellers with claims
against the City for the damages. He said he went to Small Claims Court and the case was denied. Wood
confirmed that Jones lives now in the Council District of Councilmember Valdez, and suggested that he share his
information with Councilmember Valdez and Valdez could bring that information to the Council.
Dr. David Ramsey, 661 FM 971, just east of San Gabriel Estates, told Council he has concerns about the
proposed annexation. He cited a problem with the Planning Commission three years ago when he wished
to sell three acres of his land. He said he wants reassurance that the Planning and Zoning Commission will
deal economically and correctly with future requests for development.
Bill Miller from the audience noted that one property was not represented by signature, but the owner of that
property reportedly feels the same as the other neighbors and is against the annexation.
The Public Hearing was closed at 7:31 p.m.

K Consideration of the approval of reimbursement to Texas Electric Cooperatives, Inc. for the cost of
excavating the stormwater detention pond at the facility site -- Jim Briggs and Don Rundell
Bain asked for explanation. Briggs explained that when the City was building Cooperative Way, it was
discovered that it would be more economical to allow the drainage to go to a different side of the roadway
where Texas Electric Cooperatives had already constructed a stormwater detention pond, so the City is
reimbursing Texas Electric Cooperatives for their expense to construct that detention pond.
Consideration of an Agreement to transfer service area from Pedernales Electric Cooperative, Inc.
(PEC) to the City of Georgetown -- Marianne Banks
M Consideration of a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute documents with the Texas Department of
Transportation for the City's participation in a "Small Market Air Service Needs Assessment" -- Travis
McLain and Verna Browning
Frank Parmenter, 4106 Sequoia Trail East, said the consent agenda is supposed to be for routine,
non -controversial items. He claims this item is not non -controversial. He asked for more information about
the proposed grant agreement. He asked that the Council pull this item frorn the Consent Agenda so that it
could be explained.
City Secretary Lee noted that Parmenter had requested a copy of the grant agreement. She noted that the
agreement was made available at her office for him, but he had not returned to view it.
Barton asked that the item be pulled
Wood asked Airport Manager Travis McLain to explain. McLain noted that this is a state-wide air service
study to show the economic impact on the community for which the individual cities who decided to
participate would pay up to $1,000.
Parmenter argued that the City should not participate in any further economic expansion at the airport.
Wood noted that the recent Airport Master Plan had stated that the runways would not be lengthened.
Barton stated that the public needs to be told that this is not an attempt to expand the airport. Wood asked
Russell, Browning and McLain to get the correct information into the newspaper.
