Comments and concerns voiced included the following:
Staff presented budget of 35 pages, PID Board's budget was 2 pages
No resolutions have been made as promised
Request to remove Section 1 "Improvements and Services to be provided by the District"
Improvements and services should be discussed at a PID meeting prior to submission to Council
Council needs correct information in order to make an informed decision
Request to Council to vote exclusively on the assessment amount of $0.14 per $100.
There were Items in the budget not seen by the PID board
Asked City Council to revise the assessment plan
GVPID ordinance has not been followed as written
PID assessments, capital improvement fees,
PID has been thought to be a maintenance PID
Has not really happened
Developer worked it out initially but things have gone awry
No improvements are being made
Retention ponds were not initially accounted for
Adding now will be a problem because of the lack of maintenance in the past
Consider a different vehicle as a board or HOA instead of the PID
Gonzalez asked why there were discrepancies in the budget. Jim Briggs, General Manager of Utilities for
the City, spoke. He reminded the Council that he compared the two budgets for the Councilmembers at the
last City Council Workshop meeting. Briggs explained that the retention pond in Georgetown Village needs
to be brought into compliance. He explained that administrative costs for City staff support was also an
issue and the Georgetown Village PID Advisory Board did not agree with the figure. Briggs noted that
Council recommended approval of the staff budget at the prior meeting. He explained that the PID board
had been given the list of administrative costs. Briggs said, in the past, staff support was next to non-
existent. He explained that now there area number of issues that need correction, requiring a lot of staff
time and legal review. Briggs said he would expect some of the administrative costs to go down as issues
are resolved.
City Manager, David Morgan said that, over the last year, the City has worked with the board and needed to
communicate the legal ramifications and how the City stays in compliance. He explained that the City is
required to administer the funds. Morgan said the Georgetown Village PID has done a great job
administering through volunteer neighbors, but legally, the City is required to administer. He said that the
City and the Board need to recognize the legal responsibility of the City. Morgan added that the City needs
to work with the PID board regarding capital improvements. He explained that the dollar amount will not go
down to what it has been in the past because of the need to have the City continue administration.
Councilmember Gipson said he is confused by the controversy. He said he had felt that everyone has been
in agreement. Gipson said communication has been an issue. Morgan said this is based on the legal
changes that needed to happen to come into compliance with the City's legal obligations. Morgan
explained that an advisory board is not legally able to negotiate contracts on behalf of the City. Gipson said
he agrees that the City must move forward and become legal and compliant. Gipson said communication
needs to improve. Briggs described the communication that has taken place over the last year. He noted
that the PID board had approved the staff recommended budget 3-2. Gipson noted that the City would have
the opportunity to continue to help the Georgetown Village PID Board. Briggs said the Board and the City
would face some difficult issues before all is resolved, based on the legal review. Morgan said this will be
handled in a collaborative fashion. He explained that the City better understands its obligations regarding
the PID and wants to facilitate the successful operation of the PID.
Hesser asked Marler to explain what has changed since the last meeting and agreements. Marler said after
hearing the discussion, she would like to clarify. She said that City Manager, David Morgan, was at one
board meeting. Marler said that the board had waited for months without a City liaison. Marler said that the
PID board had continuously received help from staff and staff administration is nothing new. Marler said the
board had asked Jim Briggs about having a workshop to talk about issues and the role of the board but did
not get the opportunity. She said that City staff presents things without the opportunity to sit down and talk.
Mayor Ross asked what had changed. Marler said the PID advisory board members were not told that the
budget was going forward with those dollar amounts. She told the Council that she wants the assessment
passed without the verbiage in Section 1. Council asked what was contained in Section 1. Briggs provided
the section to Marler and she read it. Marler said there are items in Section 1 that have never been a part
of the PID verbiage in the past. She spoke specifically about trees and recreational facilities. Marler
believed that the budget had been approved, but without the $108,000 for pond rehabilitation and the
$40,000 for the City administration fees.
Briggs explained that City staff had indeed shown the recommended budget to the PID Board and that the
PID board had presented their budget, as well. Briggs said that he had explained at that meeting that staff
would need to bring the new assessment to the Council. He said that the District accepted the water quality
facilities and that it is the responsibility of the City to be included in the plan. Briggs explained that
implementation takes place by a recommendation from the PID Board to the City Council.
Hesser said he understands the legal obligations of the City and advised Briggs to continue better
communication. Gonzalez suggested providing the PID Board with a list of the City's legal obligations, in an
effort to improve communication.
Jonrowe asked if there was a possibility of dissolving the PID Board and replacing it with a different avenue,
such as a Homeowners Association (HOA).
Motion by Gonzalez, second by Jonrowe to approve Item N
Approved: 7-0

budget. He said the vote is required by State law. Ross said that the Council must make this vote
separately to make clear that everyone knows it will take more property taxes than the City raised last year
to pay for the budget that was approved for this year. Ross explained that this is not a vote on the tax rate
and that will be a separate vote on the next item on the agenda. Ross asked for a motion to ratify the
