Georgetown Utility Systems' operations will relocate to the new municipal complex on Industrial Avenue as soon as
remodeling is completed. During construction in 2002, utility costs will be paid on both the current building and the
new complex, which accounts for the variance in operational costs.
A dispatch position is added in 2001/02 to expand service hours and enhance customer service, and a paralegal
position is also included to handle easement acquisitions and other right-of-way issues.

Georgetown Utility Systems
Energy Services - Electric Contracts
The Electric Fund transfers to the General Fund two percent of its gross billings for utility services. This transfer
has been viewed as a payment of franchise fees which would have been payable to the General Fund from a non -
City provider of such services.
This department also accounts for the contractual obligations not specific to an individual department of the fund,
such as purchased power costs paid to the City's wholesale provider. Special Projects and Services include
programs such as public education, energy and contracts not attributable to the Electric Department. Allocated
costs for administrative or support departments are also recognized. The City maintains 182 miles of overhead
electric distribution lines, 81 miles of underground distribution lines, and has a 100 -megawatt capacity.

The increase in wastewater line inspection is due to TNRCC regulations that require wastewater systems operated
within the Edward's Aquifer Recharge Zone to be inspected every five years.
The City's odor control program continues to require continuous monitoring at certain locations in the City. As the
wastewater system has grown, the need to monitor for hydrogen sulfide gas (1-12S) has increased throughout the
system. Pump Department personnel have taken responsibility to monitor and adjust the flow of chemicals to
mitigate the effects of H2S.
The City will develop an Industrial Pre -Treatment Program (IPP). The program is intended to verify that City
wastewater customers are in compliance with the current wastewater ordinance in terms of disposing of materials
into the wastewater system. The program is also a link to meeting the goals of the City's new wastewater permits,
recently issued by the TNRCC.

Georgetown Utility Systems
Water Services - Water Contracts
The Water Utility transfers two percent of its gross billings to the General Fund. This transfer is a payment of
franchise fees which would have been payable to the General Fund from a non -City provider of such services.
Also included are allocated and shared administrative and support costs from other departments.
This department is also used to account for the contractual obligations not specific to any individual department of
the fund. Special Projects and Services include programs such as public education on water conservation, as well
as contracts and professional services.
This department also includes payments to the Brazos River Authority (BRA) for the City's surface water supply.
The City has water rights to 6,720 acre feet in Lake Georgetown and 15,488 acre feet in Lake Stillhouse Hollow,
and 6,944 acre feet for LCRA Alliance water. These water rights are expected to meet the needs of Georgetown's
current certificated water service area through full build out.
The City has entered into water supply agreements with Chisholm Trail Special Utility District (CTSUD) for 1.5
million gallons per day, and with Jonah Special Utility District for 1.0 million gallons per day

MAJOR BUDGET CHANGES/ISSUES:
The major variance in this department relates to the City's on-going negotiations with the Brazos River Authority
(BRA) for additional water rights through a regional alliance with other communities, as well as the BRA's
adjustment of the City's variable rates to the higher system -wide rate. The capital purchase in 2001 was the
contract for the City's new Customer Information System (CIS) and the integrated financial/human resources
systems. The installation will be completed in 2001/02.
