CAPITAL PROJECTS SUMMARY
The City of Georgetown annually updates and adopts a five-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) as part of the
operating budget adoption process. Generally, the City defines high dollar fixed assets to be capital improvements.
On-going maintenance and major repair costs are included as capital expense within the departmental operating
budgets. Needed capital improvements are identified through system models, repair and maintenance records,
and growth.
The CIP is divided into three major categories: the Georgetown Utility System (GUS), Transportation, and General
Capital Projects. GUS manages Water/Wastewater Services and Energy Services. Transportation manages Streets,
Stormwater Drainage, and the Airport. Finally, General Capital Projects manages Parks, the Downtown Master
Plan, Sidewalks, Public Safety, and Facilities. Each of these funds is further dissected in this Capital Projects budget.

ENERGY SERVICES CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
GROWTH
Additional residential and commercial developments inside the system’s
service area drive the need for Capital Improvement.
Energy demand is projected to grow by about 15% over the next 5 years.
Five-year plan includes expansion of power bank additions at
substations, along with other substation support and modifications.
The CIP also includes extensions of overhead and underground feeders
to new commercial and residential developments.
System improvements for load and reliability control, as well as service
extensions from existing distribution system to service new customers.
AGE
• CIP includes projects to inspect, and treat or replace deteriorated poles
and rehabilitate aging facilities.
• In FY2009, the Utility began a long-term project to identify and
rehabilitate overhead and underground facilities, system-wide.
The FY2009 rehabilitation project includes a phased conversion of the
City’s 12.5vK system to 25vK for reliability.
REGULATORY CHANGES
• The City is subject to reliability standards of the North American Electric
Reliability Council (NERC) and operational control and reliability through
the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT).
• Due to the deregulated electric market in Texas, and the City’s status as
a non-opt-in municipal retail provider, the City must continue to monitor
developments in the Texas marketplace.
• The replacement of the AMR system with an AMI system will support
regulatory changes related to Smart-Grid.
• The City has a Conservation and Environmental department to focus on
conservation within the electric utility, including the provision for capital
investment in conservation-related projects.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN
The Energy Services Utility
maintains a Capital Improvement
Program (CIP) to address the
community’s need for superior
electric service. The CIP is
developed by incorporating several
factors including service
improvement, increased reliability,
equipment aging, extension of
service within the certificated
service area, regulatory changes,
competition within dually certified
areas, and support for economic
development. The City operates
and maintains an energy delivery
system including seven substations
and 394 miles of distribution lines
consisting of both 12.5kV and 25kV.
In addition to energy delivery, the
Energy Services Utility operates the
Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition system (SCADA), fiber-
optic communications network, and
the AMR system. These additional
systems support, collectively, the
electric and water utilities.

The Facilities five-year Capital Improvements Program funding comes from a
combination of cash contributions, debt funding and interest income.
Actual amount of debt issues will be determined upon project timing and
available and previously unallocated funds (previous year-end excess funds).
Public Safety: The plan includes several major projects to enhance public
safety services and response capability. The Public Safety Operations and
Training Center (PSOTC) was completed in early 2015. This facility was
funded by general obligation bonds approved by voters in May 2011. A
tactical building and range will be considered and added in future years. As
the City grows and expands its partnership with Emergency Services District
#8 (ESD #8), additional fire stations will be required. Two potential fire
stations, one to be funded in partnership with the ESD are included;
however, these projects are still early in the planning stages.
General Facilities: The Georgetown Municipal Complex (GMC) will undergo a
remodel in 2016. This project will renovate the entrance of the building for
improved customer care interaction and office space efficiency.
Additionally, on-going funding will be dedicated to ensure ADA concerns
discovered during the City’s self-assessment are addressed in a timely
manner. Finally, the City will update the city –wide facilities master plan in
2016.
Downtown West: With the adoption of the Downtown Master Plan, the City
is working towards providing citizens with: an expanded outdoor public
space for special events and gatherings; indoor public space for meetings
and small performances; an outdoor amphitheater; additional public
parking; consolidated city facilities; and renewed investment on the west
side of downtown. In FY 2016, the City Center Plan calls for renovating the
GCAT building and the 1987 library. Once these facilities are renovated,
staff will be relocated from the existing municipal court and city hall. The
old city hall building and Visitor Center will then be sold. Design work for
turning the current municipal court into the Visitor Center, and the festival
space will also be completed in 2016.
Parking: To help increase the availability of public parking, a parking garage
feasibility study was done in FY2015, implementation of the study is to begin
in 2016.

Project Title: Miscellaneous Stormwater Drainage Projects
Project Description:
*Curb and Gutter Replacements &Main Street Drainage:This project will consist of replacing deteriorating stand-up curbs with
curb and gutter. Stand-up curbs throughout the City will be evaluated on their condition and their potential to cause damage to roadways. The
curbs identified in areas with the poorest drainage are most likely to contribute to road drainage. These curbs will be targeted for
replacement. These replacements will save the City from Having to perform much more costly street rehabilitation.
**Stormwater Infrastructure Upgrades:Rehabilitation of ponds above and beyond monthly mowing and trash or debris removal.
Examples may include dredging of ditches, stormwater boxes or water quality/detention ponds; construction of end treatments, fencing and
alterations of existing storm drain features; and removal of filtration devices.
****Flood Study:Staff has applied for a Texas Water Development Board grant to study the North and South Forks of the San Gabriel River.
If approved, this will be in partnership with the Cities of Leander and Liberty Hill and with the Counties of Williamson and Burnett. The grant is
a 50/50 share. The State would reimburse $275K and the City would be responsible for the remainder (including in-kind contributions). North

GASB 34 – MODIFIED APPROACH
The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement Number 34 allows for an alternative to
depreciation expense for certain infrastructure, termed the Modified Approach. The following conditions must be
met:
o The government manages the eligible assets using an asset management system to:
Keep an up-to-date asset inventory,
Perform condition assessments and report the results on a measurement scale, and
Estimate the annual amount to maintain and preserve the eligible infrastructure assets at the condition
level established and disclosed by the government
o 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 implemented is pavement management information system in February 2005
Initial assessment rated Georgetown’s street condition as “good” with a 90 Pavement Condition Index (PCI)
Council has directed staff to incorporate a policy to maintain a minimum average PCI of 85
Current funding should adequately fund that level of PCI, within Georgetown, for the near future
PCI for FY2011 was 87.7
Growth factors could impact that condition over time
System will be closely monitored and reviewed, in detail, in late 2017

Project Title: Road Bond Projects
Project Description:In 2014,the City completed a review of the pedestrian network within the right of way in the City limits,as well as
a comprehensive accessibility review in the downtown district. The study evaluated the condition, presence of pedestrian infrastructure and
need as defined by public input, staff recommendations and legal requirements. The study recommends $10 million in improvements to
the network including $3.6 million in the downtown district. Recommended improvements support the City's adopted ADA Transition Plan,
the Downtown Master Plan, the Parks & Rec Trails Master Plan, the Overall Transportation Plan and the City's Comprehensive Plan.
Transportation Services has worked to ensure pedestrian improvements are coupled with street and utility improvements to maximize the
City's investment.

Project Title: Street Rehabilitation
Project Description:Streets listed as subprojects under "Rehabilitation" were identified as being in most need of repair or
rehabilitation because of their asphalt and subgrade failures, drainage problems and deteriorating curbs. Subgrade stabilization, valley
gutter installation and curb and gutter addition or replacement are combined with surface treatments to bring the pavement condition
back into the high 90's.
* Arterials: Arterials are a higher classification of roadway from residential and collector streets. Arterials are usually built to a higher
standard to accommodate a high volume of residential and truck traffic. The heavy vehicles and high volumes on these roads can cause an
exponential rate of deterioration when pavement scores begin to fall below acceptable levels. A higher priority is placed on this
classification when evaluating scores for the funds to be spent here for treatment and maintenance.
**Rejuvenate: Application of asphalt pavement to provide ultraviolet protection and seal minute cracks and pavement flaws. Restores a
uniform dark asphalt color to pavement covering the squeegee lines left after crack sealing. This process, applied to pavement in
moderately good condition, can prolong the need for more costly applications. Current year's proposed areas include: River Ridge Dr, Berry
Creek Dr, Quail Valley Dr, NE downtown, Western Trail, and Sun City.
***Chip Seal: Oil and rock maintenance application to provide a seal and wear protection, sealing current cracks and making a self healing
barrier for new cracks. Current year's areas are expected to include: River Ridge Dr, Inner Loop (Churchhill Farms),DB Wood Rd (Public
Safety Operational and Training Center to Georgetown Village), Williams Dr (DB Wood to Del Webb),NE downtown, North Georgetown
Addition, Lakeway Dr, and Serenada Dr (Luna Trail area).
****Cutler Process: Streets listed as subprojects under "Maintenance" were identified as being in most need of surface treatments with
only minor repairs to roadways. Roadways are eveluated by history, condition, age and type of previous treatments performed. Current
year's projects are expected to include: Maple St, Myrtle St, and Church St (University Ave to 2nd St)
*****Point Repair: Pavement has normally reached the end of its life and possibly has at least one overlay. Pavement need to be milled
down to or below original flow line. Grade point repairs will be made and then resurfaced with a one and one half inch overlay of exisiting
asphalt. This should extedn the pavement's life an additional 10 to 15 years. Current year's areas for thin overlay are expected to include:
Texas Dr, Gabriel View Dr, Kathi Ln, Addie Ln, Brandi Ln, and Tiffany Ln.Funding Source: Funded by General Fund and Street Maintenance Sales Tax.

Georgetown Utility Systems Water
Services Utility maintains a Captial
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 three water
treatment plants and five
wastewater treatment plants.
Water Services retains ownership of
these plants and contracts for their
operation. The City’s current
utilization of its water supply is 35%
ground water and 65% surface
water.
WASTEWATER SERVICES
WASTEWATER INTERCEPTORS
PUMPING UPGRADES
PLANT UPGRADES
HOW MUCH WATER DO WE TREAT?
GROWTH
Population growth drives the need for Capital Improvement.
Water demand is projected to grow by about 15% over the next 5 years.
Five-year plan includes expansion of water treatment system capacity to
meet peak demand.
Wastewater flow is expected to grow about 18% over the next 5 years.
City staff continues to look for ways to improve the current
infrastructure, thus, delaying plant expansions whenever possible.
AGE
• One of the fastest growing issues facing Water Services is the
replacement of older water and wastewater system mains.
Early infrastructure has exceeded its useful life and requires extensive
repair or replacement to continue the delivery of reliable service.
• 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) because 98% of the City is over the EARZ.
• The regulatory requirements of the Texas Commission on Environmental
Quality (TCEQ) require testing at least 20% of the collection system
every year, thus testing the whole system every 5 years.
• Testing is included in the Wastewater CIP.
• Once problems are identified, the City has 12 months to make repairs.
• A significant portion of the capital budget for the Wastewater Utility is
dedicated to inspection and repair of existing mains.

FY2016 Annual Budget
WATER SERVICES FUND OVERVIEW
The City’s five year Capital Improvement Program funding comes from a combination of cash, debt funding, and
impact fees. Actual amount of debt issues will be determined upon each individual year’s consideration of actual
resources available, coverage requirement and other considerations.
In 2010, the City updated its impact fees. The maximum fees are $4,714 for water and $1,694 for wastewater, and
$5,240 for wastewater in South Fork basin. The City Council set the current fees at $3,511 for water and $1,694 for
wastewater and $2,927 for wastewater in the South Fork basin. Impact fees will be reviewed as part of the FY2016
budget process.

negatively. Staff, in an effort to anticipate changes in on-going costs, has developed an O&M schedule to properly
anticipate these changes.
When certain types of capital projects are developed and completed, they have ongoing financial impacts upon the
City’s operating budgets. These impacts may be in the form of personnel costs or operating costs, such as
maintenance, supplies, electricity, fuel, janitorial services, or new program costs. Conversely, replacement capital
projects may reduce the operating impact on the City's current or future budgets if they are improving efficiencies
of an existing asset.
Projected O&M impacts, by
fund, over the next five years. FY2016 FY2017 FY2018 FY2019 FY2020

Airport: Currently, staff is redeveloping the Airport’s master plan. In this fiscal year, there are no anticipated O&M
impacts related to capital projects. This projection will adjust as the master plan and capital improvement plan for
the airport are refined.
Downtown: All proposed projects in the downtown area will be maintained and operated using existing resources.
Energy Service: The installation and completion of proposed system improvements energy service deliver, including
substation and communication upgrades, modifications to facilities and circuit ties, and the expansion of the
system to new developments is anticipated to result in a savings of $260,000 annually.
Facilities: The maintenance required for new facilities in FY2017, including the Lake Plant Data Center, the remodel
of the Georgetown Municipal Complex, and the park space in Downtown West will result in $60,000 of on-going
needs. In FY2018, Fire Station 6 will require $50,000 of annual maintenance. Finally, in FY2020 an additional
$60,000 will be needed to maintain Fire Station 7 and a new firing range at the Public Safety Training and
Operations Center.
Parks: Garey Park is anticipated to be open in FY2018. O&M for the park is $400,000. This is in addition to
entrance and rentals fees that will be collected, which will offset some costs. Additionally, new trails will be added
and open in FY2019, requiring $20,000 of on-going maintenance.
Stormwater: With the completion of the Airport Road improvements, as well as other drainage improvements
identified in the capital improvement plan, beginning in FY2018 there will be a need for an additional $10,000
annually for curb and gutter maintenance.
Transportation: On-going and increased transportation operations and maintenance needs are covered by a
dedicated street maintenance sales tax. It is anticipated that as Georgetown develops and collects additional sales
tax that the increased demands for maintenance will be covered by the ¼ cent sales tax allocation.
Water Services: In FY2016, the City approved moving water and wastewater treatment operations in-house. This
operations shift is anticipated to save the City $200,000 in the first year, and $1 million each year until FY2020.
