removing the automotive uses from their PUD. Mayor asked and Benton said, with approval of this item, the
applicant will be able to go forward to Planning and Zoning and back to City Council without having to start the

similar to the development across the street.

plan to employees -- Kevin Russell, Director of Human Resources and Civil Service (action required)
To watch this presentation in its entirety. please visit the GTV website at: http://government.georgetown.orq/qtv/
With a PowerPoint Presentation, Russell provided a breakdown of the proposed plans and rates for the employee
health benefits. He said the bottom line is for each employee to take charge of their own health. He said they
would like to take out the fear employees may have about high deductible health plans He spoke about
rethinking benefits and noted this is a concept the City started a while week He said the original goal was a
movement to preventative health. He spoke about how they starting implementing incentives for people to start
taking care of themselves and have their annual physical exams He said those efforts starting changing the
health of the organization. He spoke about the implementation of the wellness program. He spoke about the
health fair that is done every year where biometric testing is offered. He said 2009 was when they had a bad year
with regard to claims and he described that for the Council. He said that was the first year they implemented high
deductible health plans (HDHP). He said a HDHP is all about a strategy regarding consumer directed
healthcare. He said the strategy is to create an informed and confident decision about healthcare. He said they
are looking at the differences between a copay plan versus a high deductible health plan He said the goal is
about alleviating some of the concern by the employees about the HSA plan. He noted staff wants to make sure
employees are making an informed decision. He reviewed the current plan and rates for the employees to the
City Council. He spoke about some of the communication efforts that were done in the past He spoke about
how the City incentives had to be increased in order to match last years incentives. He said the HSA contribution
has been leveled so that all City contributions are $1,000. He said there is also an opt -out incentive. He
summarized the education process for a health savings account. He said an HSA is something that is relatively
new. He said the law was signed in December 2003 and became effective in 2005. He described the theory
behind an HSA and the pros and cons for that type of program. He spoke about the new maximum contributions
to the health savings account and said the single is $3,250 or $6,450 for family.
Jonrowe asked and how these contributions compare to the out of pocket maximums Jonrowe asked about how
often employees use out of network providers in the past Russell said he does not have that number at this time
but noted, last year, only four employees were out of Tier One coverage. He described what would happen in an
emergency situation where someone is out of the coverage area and they need medical attention Russell said a
lot of their employees are familiar with FSA accounts which are use it or lost it accounts. He said, however, an
HSA account is owned by the employee from day one. He said another important point is that an HSA account is
not a use it or lose it situation. He said the continue to build up the funds in a savings account and case use it as
long as it is for qualified health expenses. He said that money belongs to the employee and he or she can use it
for non-medical expenses, but they will get penalized if they do. He said the City will be starting open enrollment
next week. He said the consultant is coming in to answer questions and provide training and information sessions
for the employees. He noted himself and the Human Resource department will be making themselves available
to all of the employees. Jonrowe asked about people being diagnosed with rare diseases and Russell noted it will
have to be on a case by case basis. Jonrowe asked and Russell said the differences between the two plans is
about usage and type of usage. He describe in which instance he would recommend going with a copay plan or
an HSA plan. He said if you are the type of employee with high dollar usage, you are going to end up paying the
same amount of money. Meigs asked and Russell said it is $50 copay with $3,000 and a $3,000 deductible for
the HSA. Meigs asked and Russell said the City contribution into HSAs depends on the amount of money
available. Meigs said Jonrowds comments are important and noted it is extremely important for there to be one
meeting between AETNA and the employees. There were many questions and much discussion. Eason asked
that all of these type of items need to be presented to Council in a workshop instead of a regular

the Sun City area nearby. She said the land use map shows this as moderate density residential. She said the

Georgetown Village. She noted they are located in a moderate density future land use area and the surrounding
area are zoned single family residential with a small section agriculture. She said the proposed development is a
PUD that would provide standards that are the same as the previous village development She spoke about how
it will be similar to the other sections. She said the future land use plan is consistent with this proposed rezoning.
She noted it is also consistent with other sections of Georgetown Village as well as their concept plan She said,
at the Planning and Zoning meeting, they had speakers with concerns regarding drainage and the size of future
development behind them. She said Mr. Ortega was concerned about traffic but noted he was supportive. She
said the engineer has worked with the neighbors regarding drainage. She added the developer will, of course,
have to meet all of the City's drainage standards. Benton read only the caption of the Ordinance on first reading

Public Hearing was opened at 7:42PM
Speaker, William Kettlewell, said his property backs up to the proposed KB development and he said he and his
wife have serious issues to this plan. He said while they do appreciates the efforts of KB Homes, they have two
issues yet to be resolved. He said first issue is the proposed green space, or the green belt. He noted, in the
past, the City presented a Master Plan showing a green belt in the back of the development He noted, now the
plan with this green belt has disappeared. He said his second issue is the quality of homes built by KB Homes
and how KB coming to Georgetown Village will reduce their home values.
Speaker, Norton Teutsch, thanked Council and the Mayor. He said he lives on Chestnut Court and he concerned
about the traffic that will rise after this development is built. He said over 400 cars will be going down Village
Commons to get into the neighborhood. He said there is a school sifting right there and noted the traffic will be
an absolute mess. He said his other concern is also about the effect of these KB Homes on their property values.
Speaker, Adrian Gonzales, said he will want to reiterate a lot of the things his neighbors just said. He said they
were promised a greenbelt and buffer zone and now they are being told that is not going to happen He said it is
a reflection on the City as well as the builder. He said the expectation was there was going to be a green belt in
that area. He noted, in regards to the statements about the new development being consistent as it is now, he
disagrees. He described why he thinks this is not true and said the width of the roads will be narrow
Speaker, Steven Erdmann, when he looks at this plan, it seems there will be too many homes in that area and
not enough connectivity. He noted that is his main concern.
Public Hearing was closed at 8:OOPM
Motion by Gonzalez, second by Eason to approve the Ordinance on first reading.
Hammerlun asked and Benton described the rest of the process of this development Hammerlun asked and
Benton said there was nothing else they approached staff about She said there are two points onto Westbury
Road as well as a third point with regards to connectivity. Benton said a traffic analysis will have to be done
before this development moves forward. There were many questions about the proposed development.
Hammerlun asked about the traffic around the new McCoy Elementary School. Munk said they have added
turning lanes and a center turn lane at Bel Aire. He said they are planning a signal for the street to the north of
Bel Aire. Hammerlun and Munk said the City can require traffic improvements to a plan during the
City Council Meeting Minutes/

process. Brandenburg said the City should also look at the speed limit issue. Hammerlun said and Benton
confirmed this PUD will eventually be in the PID. Chapman said the developer will do the application for the PID
before they start the selling process. Sattler asked and Munk spoke about the connectivity in that area. Munk
said the fire trucks can go down the streets as planned. Gonzalez said his concern would be the traffic. Mayor
asked and Benton said there is an exhibit of what they are proposing in the Council packet Benton said this is
just a conceptual plan attached to the Ordinance and Council is not approving the plat just She noted this item is
just for the rezoning.
