Policy Development/Review Workshop — Call to order at 3:30 PM
A. Presentation of the 2016 Citizen Survey conducted by Texas State University --Paul Diaz, Budget Manager
and Dr. Thomas Longoria, Texas State University
Paul Diaz, the City's Budget Manager, described the project and introduced Dr. Thomas Longoria from Texas
State University who provided a presentation of the results of the City's recent Citizen Survey.
Longoria began with the Project Background
• City staff reviewed past surveys and selected common survey questions and added questions of
interest to City staff and the researchers
• City Council reviewed the survey instrument
• The project is a collaboration between the City of Georgetown and Texas State faculty and students
for educational and research purposes
• Survey contained 31 questions — some with prompts organized by categories and other questions
with open-ended responses, for a total of 113 items
Longoria spoke next on the survey methodology. He explained that the survey was based on a random
sample of 2500 housing units from 4500 utility accounts. Longoria said that online and Spanish speaking
surveys were made available to attempt to increase the response rate. Longoria noted that the response
rate was 20% and 506 surveys were completed, which is in line with typical mail surveys.
Longoria said that the survey contained a margin of error of plus or minus 5.5%. He explained that common
benchmarks are 80% or higher for high quality and that 60% or lower would be a benchmark that needs
improvement. Longoria noted that the interpretation, with the margin of error considered, would be 75% or
higher for high quality, which will be shown in green and 65% or lower for needs improvement, which will be
shown in red. He said that items that fall between the ranges are shaded in yellow.
Longoria said that because the sample is drawn from utility accounts, the characteristics of the respondents
should be compared to the household, not an individual. He explained that the US Census collects data for
households defined as "an occupied unit" and the person who fills out the survey is defined as the
"householder". He said that the characteristics of the respondents of this survey closely match the US
Census data in several areas:
• 6.3% of households in Georgetown have a Hispanic householder, compared to 6.4% of the sample
• The median household income of the sample falls between $50,000 and $75,000
• 25% of the householders are a person living alone according to the US Census, compared to 28% of
this sample
Longoria provided charts of Hispanic Origin, Renters and Age Comparisons

Longoria explained that there was a big gap and underrepresentation of renters. He explained that extra
effort was given to improve response rates among renters.
• Some renters do not receive utility bills
• Phone calls and emails were sent to the property managers of large complexes
• A link to the online survey was also sent
• Additional efforts, such as door-to-door visits and extra reminders, might introduce more bias
• Efforts to reach college students will be made in a future project due to challenges with university
approvals and buy -ins
Longoria went on to explain that there was an overrepresentation in age. There were many more older
respondents than younger respondents. Again, it is likely that a number of renters and younger groups do
not receive utility bills. Longoria said that future surveys will address these issues and get corrected.
Longoria provided a chart of the Value of City Services

Longoria said some things are very strong, while others are not. He noted that 53% of the respondents rated
Georgetown as poor for employment opportunities.
Councilmember Fought asked for more insight. He said he is concerned about the employment
opportunities. Fought said it does not make sense that we are the fastest growing City but ranked low for
employment opportunities. He said he would question why so many people are moving here if there were
limited employment opportunities. Longoria explained that people could be moving to Georgetown with the
intention to commute to work elsewhere.

Councilmember Fought asked for more insight. He said he is concerned about the employment
opportunities. Fought said it does not make sense that we are the fastest growing City but ranked low for
employment opportunities. He said he would question why so many people are moving here if there were
limited employment opportunities. Longoria explained that people could be moving to Georgetown with the
intention to commute to work elsewhere.
Longoria said the poor rating in traffic and mobility is not uncommon. He said the parking and traffic flow
would be worth looking at. Mayor Ross said Council is aware of these issues and has had studies conducted
for the last three years.
Ross asked for insight on the walking and biking results. Ross said he is interested in why citizens are not
recognizing the incredible walk and bike trails in the City. Longoria said the different types of biking are not
defined. He explained that even though one would assume biking for recreational purposes, it could be that
they are referring to being able to ride a bike to work. Brainard said the City does not have bike lanes but
does have great trails. Morgan noted that the total responses on the right side show how many people
actually responded to that particular question. He noted that those with a strong interest or complaint would
answer while others might not have participated in the response. Brainard said employment opportunities
would be similar. Responses tend to be the opinion of those who are not satisfied rather than those who are.
Councilmember Gonzalez asked for the margin of error. Longoria said it is a 5.5% margin of error for the
survey. He went onto explain that there would not be that much of a difference in large response rates,
even with a change in margin of error. Ross asked about the interpretation of raw data. Longoria said the
City could specifically look at parking and traffic or other specific things in future surveys. He said it would
even be possible to ask people for solutions.
Longoria said that protective services in Georgetown is well above normal benchmarks. He noted that Code
and traffic enforcement also had very encouraging results. Longoria said that streets and traffic is close to
meeting benchmarks but there seems to be issues with traffic signals. Waste services received results well
over the normal benchmarks, as well.
Longoria spoke on Citizen Contact with City Employees. He said this was an excellent number. Longoria
explained that 64.2% of respondents had had some contact with a City employee. 91 % of the respondents
rated their overall impression of the City employee as good or excellent.
Longoria spoke on the citizens' experience with City events. 51.2% said that they had attended a City
sponsored event. 95% of the respondents rated the overall impression of the event at good or excellent.
Longoria went on to speak on items without clear benchmarks, which included Pace of Growth, Service Use,
Support for Tax Increases and Perceptions of Safety. He explained that there were strong favorable
responses to people being satisfied with the City's growth management, but some think the population is
increasing too fast.

Longoria provided Considerations for the Next Survey
• Reduce the number of questions to increase response rates
• Provide an online survey for students in collaboration with Southwestern University
• Identify ways to increase renter response rates
• Continue to build the capacity of the CRPT and provide pro bono services to the City (MS4 Permit
Study is currently underway)
Councilmember Fought said he likes surveys such as this and would like to see Longoria and his crew
continue it. Fought suggested that just as much can sometimes be learned from open ended questions and
encouraged Longoria to use open ended questions in the next survey. Longoria said they had done this with
City of San Marcus and had good results, in that people could make their own comments and suggestions.
Jonrowe thanked Longoria. She asked if a Spanish language survey option was offered online. She spoke
about providing a link for those who would like this option. Jonrowe asked about cities without utilities and
how they poll for surveys. Longoria said they generally create a website blast for responses. He said this
can be a problem with margin of error, because continuity is important, and the methodology would be
different, where it needs to be the same. Jonrowe asked if age groups were clearly recognized in the survey.
Longoria said there was nothing shocking. Jonrowe then asked about race difference in response. Longoria
said African Americans had very few responses. Jonrowe asked if this could show specific needs in specific
groups that needs to be addressed. Jonrowe said the last survey the City conducted was skewed toward
white retired people. Jonrowe asked about the household instead of individuals and if it is a disadvantage to
larger households. Longoria answered that one person generally represents the views of that household
regardless of how many persons are in the home. Longoria said online surveys are more useful with
students and singles.
Mayor Ross asked about the survey results in regard to voting patterns. Longoria answered that people
voting are predominantly over 65.
Paul Diaz, the City's Budget Manager, then presented slides with showed the alignment of the Survey
Results with proiects currently happening in the City.

B. Austin Avenue Bridges Update -- Nathaniel Waggoner, Transportation Analyst
Nat Waggoner, the City's Transportation Analyst, provided the update presentation of the Austin Avenue
Bridges Project. He began the presentation with an agenda for discussion.
• Purpose and Need
• Accomplishment to Date
• Environmental Processes
• Steel Testing Results
• Mid Term Project Scope and Fee Review
• Next Steps
Waggoner described the purpose and need of the project. He explained that the project is needed because
the segment of Austin Avenue from Morrow Street to 31d Street, including the two bridges crossing the San
Gabriel River, is load restricted and fails to meet current design standards on both bridges. Waggoner said
the bridges have deteriorated and this has resulted in falling debris on and below the bridges, which presents
safety hazards to traffic and trail users.
Waggoner said the purpose of the project is to improve mobility on Austin Avenue and to ensure the safety of
pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular traffic along Austin Avenue between Morrow Street and V Street and on
the multi -use trails below the two bridge crossings. Waggoner explained that the project offers opportunities
to expand the accessibility and mobility of Austin Avenue for all modes of travel, while preserving a gateway
into historic Georgetown.
Waggoner noted that the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) is required for any project with a federal
funding component. He explained that this project would follow the NEPA process in order to remain eligible
for additional funding from state and federal sources.
Waggoner spoke on the Austin Avenue Bridges Project accomplishments. He explained that there has been
heavy interaction with the public, very active public communication and involvement, and that communication
has greatly improved.
• 19 Separate Stakeholder Engagements
• 2 Public Meetings, Section 106 Consulting Parties Introduction
• Direct Mailings, Media Releases, Active Website and Email Campaign
Waggoner spoke on the Technical Study
• 2 Forensic Studies, involving 4 separate engineering firms and TXDOT
• Multiple Engagements with TXDOT Bridge experts, regarding load postings and BRINSAP
• Surveying and Alternates Development
Waggoner went on to speak on the Environmental Analysis at length and provided information that has been
made simple and accessible to the public.

Environmental Process
• Section 4(f) of the U.S. Department of
Transportation Act
• Protects publicly owned and accessible parks,
recreation areas, and wildlife and waterfowl
refuges and historic sites, regardless of
ownership and accessibility.
• Process includes an alternatives analysis to
determine if there is a prudent and feasible
alternative to the use of Section 4(f) property.
Waggoner explained that staff has been working closely with TXDOT to support the process. He noted the
importance of protecting resources paid with public dollars.
Waggoner explained that the steel testing for the Austin Bridges Project has been shared with the public. He
explained that the purpose of the steel testing is to determine actual yield strength of the steel in order to
improve load bearing calculations used in BRINSAPs. He went on to describe the method:
• Six steel samples were taken from the existing steel girder webs
• Samples were tested in accordance with the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)
standards for tensile and hardness properties
• Consultant reanalyzed the load rating of the controlling span using the yield strength value derived
from Lewis's material testing
Waggoner explained the Results. He said that the steel is stronger than the default value set by the state.
He then described load posting. He explained that consultants were asked to rerun the results. Waggoner
said the City has met with TXDOT engineers who are now reviewing the results. He explained that the City
will receive the results by the end of the year and will then develop choices with the information.
Results
1. Average yield strength of the samples was 38.Sksi, higher than the default 33ksi
used in 2013, 2105 BRINSAPs.
2. Consultant reanalyzed the load rating of the controlling span using the new
yield strength and recommends determined in accordance with T%DDT
procedures, should be as follows:
• Axle 20,000 lbs (legal limit)
• Tandem axle 34,000 lbs (legal limit)
• Single Gross vehicle 69,000 lbs (legal limit)
• Combination vehicle 79,000 lbs (legal limit is 80,000)
3. TXDOT is reviewing report, guidance is expected by the end of the yeas
4. New yield strength will be incorporated into Alternative Analysis.
Wa Doer next described the Mid -Term Scope Review.
Based on enhanced public involvement and heightened environmental analysis, we
anticipate needing additional funding to complete this project.
He explained that the project is 50% done with scope and 75% done with the schedule. Waggoner
explained that the project has gone from 4 choices to 12 choices, 8 of which are viable choices.
Brainard asked about the percentage billed. Waggoner answered that the route and design studies have

Mayor Ross commented that this is clearly defined.
Councilmember Jonrowe asked if the scope of alternatives was narrowed, would it cost the City less.
Waggoner said the state would not allow the narrowing and it would not make a difference in cost.
Councilmember Fought cautioned about the alternative choice of tearing the bridges down because it would
be limited to Austin Avenue but would greatly affect 135 updates also. Fought said the City could not proceed
with a self-inflicted wound. He explained that Council will work around that and must commit to be
reasonable in the solutions.
Waggoner said the concern is real and evident in working with the public. He explained that the City is
working hard to develop the estimates on project durations and wants to mitigate temporary construction
durations. He explained that the City will make every effort to keep one lane open, both ways, at all times.
Waggoner went on to say that temporary closures will be done at periods of very low traffic, likely not to take
more than a couple of hours. Fought said he would be happy with that approach and that staff and Council
will pay attention and commit. Fought said the City must make the bridges safe and must listen to the
engineers. He added that the City must take the time to find out what is right and pay attention to the
concerns.
City Manager, David Morgan, said, as alternatives are presented, the scope and anticipated life cycle benefits
would be provided. This shared information will include what is involved, how long, etc. He said it is
imperative that the promotion is to keep the road open. Morgan went on to say that the same should apply to
the Williams Drive project. Morgan said the City will be diligent in its communications.
Brainard asked for the alternatives. Waggoner said some of the alternatives would include doing nothing,
alignment through the park, one way lanes on sides of bridges, replacing the bridges in kind, taking the bridge
as is and widening with an underneath structure and building a pedestrian facility with a bridge on each side.
Brainard asked if all alternates would be considered. Waggoner said it is required by the state to review all of
them, but that, of course, some would make no sense. Waggoner said all would be shared with the
community and it will be shared what staff thinks are the best alternatives. Morgan said it will be a
cumbersome process, but the City must position itself for grant funding so that 100% of the cost is not bared
by the community.
Eby asked about the public hearing by the state and if that would be TXDOT. She also asked if the state
could dictate what can be done. Waggoner answered that TXDOT will need to provide the Public Hearing,
which will make the City eligible to move forward. He explained that the City must be legally defensible.
Waggoner said staff recognizes Council's role in this project. He said that the state will not dictate what can
be done but the state will make sure the alternative is prudent and the state would not allow an alternative if it
was not safe.
Mayor Ross explained that when the environment hurdles have been overcome, it will come back to Council.
Waggoner explained that it will be brought back to Council in June or July of 2017.
