and a method of, collection. -- Art Rodriguez and Bob Hart

the City Charter. Bain asked about the Public Hearing. Charlie Crossfield noted that the public hearing

Motion by Bain, second by Davis to defer this item to the next Regular Council Meeting. Approved 6-0.
KK Consideration of instructing the staff to file the necessary legal papers for the creation of the Central Texas
Recreation and Entertainment Corporation -- Bob Hart
Tonn noted that the Council would like to discuss this item prior to allowing the citizens to speak. He noted
that the Council is lacking support from a variety of organizations in the City. He asked that the item be
tabled.
Davis noted that it was good for the Council to receive the "feedback" from the public. He noted having
received equal response from proponents and opponents. He said he had reservations about the use of
water in the project. He said he also would like to receive full support from the Convention and Visitors
Bureau and Georgetown Industrial Foundation. He said he also wanted to make sure that the project was
aesthetically pleasing and needed information about the recycling of water. He noted that there are not
enough jobs within Georgetown for his constituents. He noted that the development in southeast
Georgetown would provide jobs and improve transportation and that the City needed to provide "smart
growth" concepts for the City.
Barton said he has heard a lot of people complaining about the City being financially involved in the project.
He emphasized that the City has no financial liability in the project. He said he doesn't agree that this item
should be tabled for six months. He suggested that the item only be delayed until June 1.
Hoyt said she concurs with Davis and Tonn. She said she doesn't feel the Council can go forward without
the support of the CVB, Chamber and GIF. She reviewed why this item was placed on the agenda. She
said the project would satisfy three issues: sales tax to replace electric revenue, improvement of
transportation, and jobs for citizens.
Bain told the audience that he appreciates their involvement. He said it was obvious to him that some
people clearly don't understand the entire issue and others have very good questions that need to be
answered. He suggested that citizens get involved in the budget process. He invited attendance at the
Budget Hearings in August. He agreed that more time was needed, and said the item should be deferred
until, at least, the next Council Meeting.
Valdez asked Barton to respond to tabling. Barton suggested deferring to the middle of May at the very
latest.
Wood said he believes there should be a referendum on the ballot at the May General Election to allow the
citizens to decide about the waterpark. He thanked the Chamber of Commerce for doing a survey. He said
that, of the responses, there was one vote difference as to whether the waterpark should come to
Georgetown.
Barton said he doesn't think the waterpark should become a political football in the upcoming election.
Hart noted that due to the election laws, the earliest that the item could be put to a vote would be in a
special election in August.
Bain asked for a review of Tonn's motion. Tonn said the motion was to table the item to form the non-profit
corporation. The parliamentary procedures were discussed. It was clarified that under Council policy, any
item tabled must wait six months before being brought back to the Council unless five councilmembers
determine to bring it back sooner.
Hoyt asked for further explanation about the procedure regarding tabling the item. Hart explained with
Rodriguez' concurrence that the same item could not be brought back for six months.
Bill Nahay, 203 Norwood Drive, told Council he does not favor random development and told them that he
City Council Meeting Minutes/March 23, 1999

has tried unsuccessfully to bring several restaurants and hotels to Georgetown who are looking for an
anchor similar to the waterpark. He noted that there are numerous federal regulations involved with the
issuance of bonds for the waterpark project. He spoke of hearing people flight against it who didn't seem to
understand the whole picture. He asked the people to be patient and wait for more information.
Jim Brown, 117 Randolph Road, said he thinks there have been numerous misunderstandings. He spoke
of a subsidy being involved. He also spoke of a problem with the tax money going to the school districts.
He said he also objects to government being involved, and that there would be a risk if the development
went under.
Lupe Salazar said she would like to see the waterpark come to town to provide family-oriented activities.
She said the teenagers in Georgetown speak of being bored. She also said she looks forward to the tax
relief and would like to see more development in Georgetown.
John Montgomery, 408 Sinuso, said he is currently working on developing downtown parking solutions. He
said he is in favor of the issues spoken about but has a different method to use. He said he is proposing
community enrichment projects. He gave Council copies of an outline of his proposal. He noted that his
proposal includes a 4 1/2 cent sales tax increase, to establish funding for specific projects including the
county/city exposition center and transportation improvements. He said he has reviewed his proposal with
the "downtown" group and has their support.
Sam Pfiester, 30313 St. Andrews, said his issue is whether the City should "underwrite" an unproven
enterprise. He asked how this entity could take tax money away from the school district. He asked that
Council focus on real issues such as traffic congestion, more parks and open spaces, downtown parking,
and an ordinance for traditional neighborhood development. He asked the Council to vote on it tonight, and
vote it down.
Jim Dillard, 1404 Maple Street, said he questions the accuracy of Mr. Hall's previous presentation. He said
he is concerned that the owner of the park , the City, could be sued if a visitor to the park were injured or
killed. He asked that a group be formed to fully investigate the feasibility of a waterpark. He said he is not
against the waterpark , against growth, or against kids, but thinks this project needs further study.
Greg Hail, 160 Lookout Ridge, said he agrees that it is imperative that the questions be answered and that
it be done as soon as possible in order to allow for the timely opening of the project on behalf of the
investors involved. He asked that the item not be tabled and delayed for six months, that the public be able
to get the answers to their questions, and that sufficient but minimum time be taken.
Wood asked Tonn to withdraw his motion and allow the issue to go to an August referendum.
Tonn restated his original motion to table the item. Second by Hoyt. Approved 3. Opposed 3. (Barton,
Valdez and Bain opposed) To break the tie, Wood voted to oppose the motion. The motion was denied.
Motion by Bain, second by Barton to delay the item until the next Council Meeting (3 weeks). Approved 3.
Opposed 3. (Tonn, Hoyt and Davis opposed) Again, to break the tie, Wood voted to oppose the motion.
The motion was denied.
Wood asked for a motion for a referendum.
Hart noted that to have a referendum in August, the corporation would have to be created, and a public
hearing held in order to put it to a vote.
Davis raised Bain's previously failed motion to delay the item to the April 13 Council Meeting. Approved 4
2. (Tonn and Hoyt opposed)

UU Consideration of a Development Agreement with Escalera Ranch, Ltd. concerning the proposed
subdivision and construction of Escalera Ranch and related infrastructure improvements -- Bob Hart
Hart noted this is the development agreement for the extension of the waterline, establishing the fees to be
paid by the property owners as they tie into the line. Also, because this line is supplying water to a
subdivision prior to the platting stage, a fee will be charged for transportation expenses and will fund future
bridges across the river. Hart said this will allow the construction of a waterline that would ensure fireflow
all the way to the west edge of the city. It was established that the waterline is intended to be complete
within three months. Motion by Davis, second by Valdez to approve the Development Agreement.
Approved 6-0.
VV Consideration of a Development Agreement with Anne Vinther Patience, concerning water system
improvements for the benefit of 1,150 acres of the proposed Escalera Ranch Subdivision -- Bob Hart
Hart noted the developer is buying this property under a series of options. Hart said there is a performance
bond and the fees will be tied to the land so that if the Escalera Ranch were to "go away," the City's
financial obligation would still be protected.
Motion by Davis, second by Hoyt to approve the Development Agreement. Approved 6-0.
WW Consideration of a Concept Plan of 1150.3442 acres in the Isaac Donagan, Robert Milby, Daniel Medlock,

Escalera Ranch -- Hildy Kingma and Jim Babcock
Babcock noted that the 1150 acres would be brought into the Georgetown extra -territorial jurisdiction. He
said Planning and Zoning voted to approve provided the technical issues were addressed and the
development agreement was approved by the Council. He noted that a standard involving a gate house
has been added as well as the inclusion of a road width standard. Bain confirmed that the motion to
approve this item would need to include the addition of the new standards. Motion by Hoyt, second by
Valdez to approve the Concept Plan with the addition of a new Standard Number 16. Approved 6-0.

approve the fee waiver request. Approved 6-0.
ZZ Consideration of a Fee Waiver for all development fees associated with the expansion of facilities at First
Baptist Church Georgetown Subdivision, located on SH29 near D.B. Woods Road -- Kim Shaw and Hildy
Kingma
Shaw noted that this waiver request is for all the fees. Hall and Barry explained the fees that have been
typically waived for churches in the past. Hart noted that the church paid for the waterline out to D.B. Wood
Road, so some credit should probably be allowed for that.

of $685.83, and Building Plan Review and Building Construction Permit Fees or $2,179.00. Hall noted that
