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.
Development Services staff gives direction regarding new development and the infrastructure needs
relating to this growth.
Other utility departments, such as the Street Department Water and Wastewater Departments
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.

Streets Capital Improvements
The Streets Department manages, maintains and repairs City streets and rights-of-way. General maintenance,
such as overlay, seal coat, sidewalk repairs and micro -surfacing, is included in the departmental budget in the
General Fund. The capital budget includes new transportation construction projects and major rehabilitation of
the City's roadway systems.
4-B Transportation Projects
The citizens of Georgetown approved a 1/2 cent additional sales tax for funding transportation improvements.
Collection will begin in October 2001. Projects from this funding source will be approved in a separate budget
by the Georgetown Transportation Enhancement Corporation (413 sales tax) board. The board and bylaws will
be appointed in the Fall of 2001.

-Country Club/Rivery Realignment at Williams Drive
Council was presented with options to construct this improvement in January 2000 and selected the
option for the realignment of Country Club at the intersection of Country Club Road and Williams Drive.
The new alignment at Williams Drive will provide improved mobility and safety for traffic in the Williams
Drive, Country Club Road and IH 35 frontage road area. Included in the construction of this project is a
16 -inch water line.
-Hutto Road — HWY29 to Quail Valley
The Hutto Road project will rehabilitate the section of roadway from Highway 29 East to Quail Valley
Drive. This rehabilitation will replace badly deteriorated curbs and level and overlay the street. A
wastewater line will be replaced in conjunction with this project.
-Austin Avenue Lighting
The lighting of Austin Avenue will be done in conjunction with the Texas Department of Transportation's
(TxDotproposed bridge widening project on Austin Avenue. TxDot will install lights on Austin Avenue
from 6t. Street to the Williams Drive intersection. The City will reimburse the State for any additional
costs associated with upgrading the lighting.
Financial Impact:
The current year's projects have no significant impact to on-going maintenance costs. Maintenance budgets are
reviewed each year to determine whether funds are sufficient to adequately maintain existing streets.
Previously issued general obligation debt will fund the completion of Country Club. The other projects are funded
through service improvement fees and other operating revenue.

Financial Impact:
The current year's projects have no significant impact to on-going maintenance costs. Maintenance budgets
are reviewed each year to determine whether funds are sufficient to adequately maintain the City's rapidly
expanding electric system.
The automated meter reading system (Customer Choice and Control, or CCC) requires on-going maintenance
costs of approximately $500,000, which is allocated between the Water and Electric Operating budgets.
System expansion funding of $100,000 per year is required for new meters to accommodate growth in the
customer base.
An electric rate study is being conducted in 2002 to review the costs of providing electric service, including
replacement and expansion of the system.

Electric Capital Projects - 2002 Project Descriptions:
-Capacitor Additions
This project includes the installation, relocation, modification and retirement of capacitor banks system-
wide, as needed, for power factor correction. A total of fourteen new capacitor banks will be added in
2002.
-Georgetown Substation Improvements
A large portion of the Georgetown Substation area will be converted to 14.4/24.9 kV operation this year
and transferred to the new Rivery Substation Feeder RV20. The reclosers at this substation will be
upgraded to new circuit breakers/relays on all feeder bays this year. The major feeder trunks will be
upgraded with larger conductor over the next two years to relieve overloading, reduce losses and to allow
the pickup of adjacent feeder loads during emergency situations.
-Glasscock Substation Improvements
This project will install two 25 kV, padmounted URD air break switches on the Glasscock Feeder along
Sun City Blvd and will install a three-phase, gang -operated air break switch between the feeders
southwest of the intersection of Shell Road and F.M. 2338.
-Rivery Substation Improvements
Three phase, #795 AAC, 14.4/24:9 kV tie lines will be constructed from the new Rivery Substation to
adjacent feeders. This will transfer load from the Georgetown and Gabriel Substations to the Rivery
Substation in 2002.
-Residential Underground
This funding provides for all system primary and secondary residential construction for new subdivisions
within the City, including Sun City. In single certificated areas, the developer is responsible for installation
of the conduit and transformer pads and reimburses the City for the cost of underground vs. overhead.
In the multi -certificated area, all construction expense is borne by the utility due to the extension policy
of the competing wire companies in those areas.
-GIS Mapping
This project provides for the mapping, inventory, and appraisal of the existing electric system. The City
is projected to require $50,000 per year to ensure that new construction is added to the system and that
a proper appraisal of the system is maintained.
-Berry Creek reserve
This project will continue the conversion of the three-phase trunk feeder lines in the Berry Creek
development to three-phase URD.
-Line/System upgrades
This project provides rehabilitation of existing lines within the system.
-Park and Neighborhood Lighting
Working in conjunction with Parks and Recreation, Transportation Services and the Police Services
Divisions, the Electric Department will provide and install new lighting in City parks to provide a safer
environment for citizens.
-Customer Choice and Control (CCC)
Additional meters for the City's Automatic Meter Reading System (AMR) are required as the City's
residential growth continues.
-Williams Drive/Country Club Realignment and Austin Avenue
As the City and TxDot moves forward with street projects, electric lines will need to be relocated to
accommodate the adjusted street locations.
164
Electric Capital Projects - Five Year Plan:
The City has developed a five-year Capital Improvements Program to identify and prioritize construction
and replacement needs for the electric utility. The program is designed to maintain adequate capacity
to serve the anticipated loads and maintain acceptable voltage at all points on the distribution system, as
well as address the continued residential growth in the City.

Wastewater Capital Projects
The Water Services Department has developed a Capital Improvement Program to address the water and
wastewater needs of the community. Waster and Wastewater needs are triggered by continued growth, service
to annexed areas, improving service to areas that have been identified as having service level issues and the
rehabilitation of aging water and wastewater infrastructure. It is the Department's intent to provide water and
wastewater services that meet changing state and federal requirements and provide a superior level of service
to the residents of Georgetown.

Financial Impact:
Maintenance budgets are reviewed each year to determine whether planned funds are sufficient to adequately
maintain the existing infrastructure. The completion of the construction of the new Pecan Branch Wastewater
Treatment Plant will increase operating costs by approximately 30% annually, beginning in 2002/03.
Due to the expansion of the Water and Wastewater infrastructure over the past several years, the City will hire
additional staff this year to ensure the system is adequately maintained for our customers.
167
Wastewater Capital Projects - 2002 Project Descriptions:
-Wastewater Line Upgrades
This funding is for the upgrade of wastewater lines due to development and growth. These projects
will address new subdivisions and areas of growth not yet identified.
-Oakcrest Rehab Sewer
This project will rehabilitate wastewater lines in the Oakcrest subdivision.
-Williams Drive Lift Station
This project provides funding for improvements to the Williams Drive Lift Station.
-Serenada Sewer
This multi-year project will provide infrastructure to the annexed areas of Serenade through a
centralized gravity collection system.
-Austin Avenue
As TxDot moves forward with the widening of Austin Avenue, the wastewater line in the area of the
project will be replaced.
-Pecan Branch — Phase 2
This funding will provide for the construction of a new wastewater interceptor to convey wastewater in the
Pecan Branch and Berry Creek watershed area to the new Pecan Branch Wastewater Treatment Plant.
-System Evaluation
This evaluation is an Edwards Aquifer Rule Requirement, which will provide for flow tests in various areas
of the City's wastewater system to obtain flow information to aid in the design of future wastewater
projects. This project will involve setting flow meters in various areas of the city to record and compile
data. The City will then determine which areas need to be upgraded due to infiltration and inflow.
-Gabriel View
This line project will replace the existing wastewater main, located behind residences on Gabriel View and
connect it to the new wastewater line on Country Club.
-Berry Creek Expansion
This project expands the treatment plant capacity of the Berry Creek Wastewater Treatment Plan from
0.100 MGD to 0.200. This expansion will allow the plant to adequately handle the additional flow to the
plant from the immediate areas. The funding for 2001/02 is for the engineering phase of the project, with
construction planned for the 2002/03 fiscal year.

Wastewater Capital Proiects — Five Year Plan:
While the City continues to plan for growth, rehabilitation of old infrastructure continues to be a priority for
the Wastewater utility. A five-year capital improvements program has been established to identify and
prioritize critical projects for the system.
The Wastewater improvements being recommended continue to address undersized sanitary sewer mains
in the City's Old Town area and the rehabilitation of sanitary sewer mains that may be experiencing inflow
and infiltration (1&1) 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.

The water system continues to recognize the population growth within its service area. The current demand on
the water system is met by upgrading water treatment plants, water booster stations to deliver water from
treatment facilities and the replacement of older system lines and mains. The City has provided service for over
one hundred years and some of the early infrastructure installed has well exceeded its useful life and requires
extensive repair or replacement.

Financial Impact:
Maintenance budgets are reviewed each year to determine whether planned funds are sufficient to
adequately maintain the existing infrastructure. Operational costs will increase as the demand for water
increases due to the cost of treatment.
Due to the expansion of the Water and Wastewater infrastructure over the past several years, the City
will hire additional staff this year to ensure the system is adequately maintained for our customers.
176
Water Capital Proiects - Five Year Plan:
The five year program is expected to be funded through a combination of cash and debt funding, based
on the financial forecasting of the Water Fund. Actual amounts of debt issues will be determined upon
each year's consideration of actual resources available, coverage requirements and other considerations.

Irrigation Capital Projects
The City has created an Irrigation Utility to provide a source of irrigation to meet the needs for large commercial
irrigation customers, such as golf courses. Providing a non -potable source of irrigation water provides for a more
efficient use of City resources, because this reduces the demand on the City s water plants for treated water.
Projects for the upcoming five years have been planned to expand this new utility.
Irrigation Capital Projects - 2002 Project Descriptions:
-Water Reuse Irrigation/San Gabriel Park
This project will extend reuse water lines to the West side of IH 35 to deliver non -potable water to meet
irrigation needs. This project will also provide reuse lines in San Gabriel Park to reduce irrigation costs
for the City's parks department.
-Pecan Branch Effluent Return Line
The effluent return line is intended to transfer Type I water from the Pecan Branch Wastewater Treatment
Plant to the Airport Tanks and then back to Sun City, for reuse irrigation purposes.

Financial Impact:
Operational and maintenance costs for the irrigation infrastructure are not expected to significantly impact
operating budgets. The irrigation utility rate will decrease the cost of irrigating San Gabriel Park, thereby
decreasing operational costs in the Parks Department.
The 2002 irrigation improvements are funded through Service Improvement Fees and Wastewater revenue.

Stormwater Capital Projects
The City created a five-year Capital Improvement Program to address drainage needs throughout the City. The
plan has focused on meeting the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Phase II regulations and requirements
regarding stormwater control in municipalities. The City is initiating a program to create an extensive Stormwater
Drainage mapping system. The information and data derived from a Regional Stormwater Master Plan and
Design Manual will be utilized by the City to begin implementation of regional stormwater control and to monitor
the water quality of stormwater runoff.
Stormwater Capital Projects - 2002 Project Description:
-Curb & Gutter
This project consists of annual rehabilitation and curb replacement as needed. The locations proposed
for 2002 include sections of Pine Street north of State Highway 29 East. This project will complete
missing sections of curbing in these areas.
Financial Impact:
The Stormwater Drainage fees fund the maintenance of the City's drainage system and the debt payments for
existing debt on previous drainage improvements. Operational and maintenance costs for the stormwater
infrastructure have significantly increased over the past few years, necessitating the City's hiring of additional
maintenance staff in 2002, and increasing the per unit fee.

Airport Capital Projects
The Airport created a five-year Capital Improvement Program to address rehabilitation of existing infrastructure
and growth needs for the City's municipal airport. The plan is coordinated with the Texas Department of
Transportation (TxDot) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), who provide partial funding for many of
the infrastructure improvements needed. A five year plan for capital improvements has been developed, however
actual projects will be approved dependent upon grant funding and other available revenue.
Airport Capital Projects - 2002 Project Descriptions:
-Parking Lot at Terminal
The City will complete construction of an expanded terminal building in December 2001. When the
construction on the building is complete, a larger parking lot will be constructed.
-FAA Control Tower
The City has applied for funding to construct a control tower. When funding options are more defined,
the City will determine whether the construction of this tower will move forward.

Financial Impact:
The cost of maintenance on proposed expansion to the Airport is considered before a determination to
construction new facilities is made. Rehabilitation of existing infrastructure is completed through grant funding by
TxDot and the FAA. Typically, the City matches 10% of the cost of infrastructure with grant funding providing the
balance of the construction budget. The goal of the Airport Fund is to continue to be a self-supporting operation.

General Capital Projects
Facilities and Other
The City uses a Facilities Committee to determine the Citys long range plan for facilities needs, in light of the
City's phenomenal growth. The plan is a living document, as it changes periodically, to accommodate the City's
need to use existing facilities to their fullest capacity and maintain an acceptable tax rate for citizens. The City
is also in the process of updating a Parks Master Plan, which will have an impact on this plan in future years.
November 2001 Bond Election
The citizens will vote in November on three proposals for issuing General Obligation bonds. The projects
to be considered are:
-Public Library expansion (estimated cost of $7.9 million),
-Community Center renovation (estimated cost at $750,000), and
-City Hall remodeling (estimated cost of $750,000).
Citizens can vote for or against any of the three propositions. The -City well plan a debt issuance for these projects
if they are passed by the voters.
General Capital Proiects. Facilities and Other - 2002 Proiect Descriptions:
While the entire amount of available funds from the bond issue for the various projects have been appropriated
in 2001/02, the timing of these projects will probably span into 2003 and 2004.
-Swimming Pool
The City will evaluate the feasibility of closing the Williams Drive Pool and using the sale of the property
to fund a new pool at the City's Recreation Center.
-Municipal Compound Remodel (old C3 Facility)
The new facility acquired in 2001 will be remodeled to accommodate the Georgetown Utility Systems,
Planning and Development and the Utility Billing Office.
-Parks Maintenance Building (old GUS Facility)
When the Georgetown Utility Systems administration moves to the Municipal Compound, the building
located in San Gabriel Park will be remodeled to house the Parks Maintenance Department.
-Animal Shelter (old GUS Pumps Building)
When the Pumps Department moves to the Municipal Compound with GUS Administration, the building
that previously housed Pumps will be remodeled for the City's Animal Shelter.
-City Hall Renovation
The City Hall facility will be remodeled to provide space to accommodate the growing number of citizens
attending Council meetings. This project was funded through certificates of obligation. If the citizens
pass the proposal for the expansion of City Hall in November, the project will be further expanded.
