Comments from the Mayor Mayor Ross read the following statement related to COVID-19: Recently Williamson County Judge Gravell issued orders requiring us to shelter -in -place. It is more urgent than ever that Georgetown residents remain home as much as possible. Don't risk your neighbor's health or yours: Stay indoors. I know governments at all levels have been imposing some intimidating orders lately, and a lot of you are fearful, not only of the virus, but also for your livelihood. Those emotions are valid, and you are not alone in feeling them. I guarantee you; these decisions are not made lightly. The priority is your health and safety. I know there is a lot of stress and uncertainty out there right now. Amidst all this confusion and anxiety, please know this: We aren't going anywhere. Of all the things we're all worrying about, you will not have to worry about keeping your lights on, about having running water, or about your safety and protection. The services you've come to know and trust from the City of Georgetown will remain, no matter what happens. You've heard the phrase "social distancing' a lot lately. Please understand this: Keeping your distance does not mean isolating yourself. Talk to your neighbors. Call your friends, your family. Technology has made connecting with people easier than it's ever been. Please, use it. You are not alone. Your Georgetown community is here for you. Just as your neighbors are there for you, please, be there for your neighbors. Yes, that means washing your hands, not hoarding toilet paper, disinfecting surfaces, all the things you've heard repeatedly over the past few weeks. But being there for your neighbors also means supporting our local businesses, when you can. That printing shop that sponsored your kids little league team? It's time to return the favor. That restaurant that donated to your fundraiser? Place some to -go orders as soon as you're able. Even though we're apart, there are so many ways we can support one another. I call on each of us to do what we can for our fellow Georgetownians. Finally, please continue to rely on us your local elected officials and City staff. We are all here for you, Georgetown. And I'll say it again: We aren't going anywhere. City Council Regional Board Reports None. Announcements None.

Chris Davis, Williamson County Elections Administrator, spoke regarding the County's point of view for delaying the election. Davis stated that the Governor issued a proclamation allowing entities to delay their election until November 2020. He added that after the proclamation was issued the County took the stance to not hold May elections. Mayor Ross asked Davis to explain why the County made this decision. Davis responded that there is a current shelter in place order that make it infeasible to conduct in person elections which is how the County usually conducts elections. He added voters have voiced their concerns about being able to vote while keeping themselves safe. Fought stated that he agrees with moving the election and will make motion to do so. He then stated that the County Judge made a statement about only paying for November elections and leaving cities on their own if they wish to go forward in May. Fought stated that there is a current argument related to holding national and local elections on the same ballot as national issue could influence votes. He continued that he doesn't think that the County can tell the City when it has to hold to election and hold finances. Fought stated that as home rule City, the City gets to determine when to hold elections, but should work with the County to determine the right date. Davis responded that he is not familiar with that statement that the County forces the City to hold the election on a certain date or force the City to pay for the election themselves. He added that whether the City conducts an election or not, the model is one of cost sharing with other entities and the City will always pay a portion. Davis continued that the County presented the City an option, not a mandate, and it is the City's choice. Fought responded that he had heard different reports that the only way the County will pay is for the City to move the election to November. Davis stated that he issues the invoices and he is saying that the method of payment will remain the same. Fought thanked Davis and stated that he does agree with the November date. Calixtro stated that she doesn't agree with November and would like an earlier election, possibly in July. She asked if the City considered another date or other options. Charlie McNabb, City Attorney, responded that the City doesn't have any choice under election code. He added that the date described by law refers to the uniform election date. McNabb stated that it is not physically possible to conduct an election due to the need for multiple polling places and equipment. Nicholson made a motion to approve the November date, second by Fought. Nicholson said that she would like a sooner date if possible. Triggs stated that he approves of the new election date. Fought stated that he approves of the new election date. Pitts asked if the governor relaxed any of the mail in ballot requirements. Davis responded no. Pitts asked if that direction comes from the governor. Davis responded yes, only the governor or a court of law. Pitts thanked Davis for the explanation. Jonrowe asked if participating in November will increase the City's cost. Davis responded that it is possible, but the County is prepared to freeze cost shares for May election costs. Jonrowe asked if citizens can usually vote anywhere in the County. Davis responded that is correct and most voters in County were going to be affected by the May election. He added that in November all voters will be allowed to vote and the County will have the lion's share of the cost due to the offices on the ballot. Jonrowe stated that she appreciates working on the costs and noted that it will add about seven months to candidate campaigns. She continued that putting public safety should be first and it is regrettable that Governor hasn't given more flexibility. Jonrowe stated that in the past there have been efforts to move Council elections to November, but she likes the commitment to maintaining the non -partisan feature of City elections. She noted that the City has informed voters and supports the move but is looking forward to normalcy in 2021. Gonzalez stated that November is fine, and more participation is fine. Fought stated that Davis is quoted in a Community Impact letter and then read quotes about local elections. He added that he appreciates the clarification. Mayor Ross stated that there was no real choice for the City, as there was no way for the City to implement elections in a timely manner on its own.

Pitts asked how many employees the City has working from home today. Bryce responded that he is not sure but will the number will increase over the week. Morgan stated that it is over 50 and a moving target that will increase over the week. He added that he will update Council. Pitts asked how many employees the City currently has. Morgan responded over 750 full time employees. Pitts asked about the number of laptops versus the number of staff. Bryce responded that IT had already purchased many and is getting more in place to the right people. Pitts asked if the employees without laptops can perform needed core functions. Bryce responded that the City still uses virtual desktops and has 300 licenses for those. He added that staff can have capabilities at home and these laptops will add to and round up ability to work from home. Pitts noted that the City is moving the purchase up in the year. He added that it may be more convenient to use laptops, but some can already work from home. Bryce responded that certain portions can work over virtual desktops, but that system is being replaced and laptops will allow anyone who needs the ability to telecommute. Morgan stated that staff want as many people as possible to work from home and this purchase will help facilitate that. Pitts stated that he is trying to balance health and safety with budget. Morgan responded that staff is trying to follow orders to help as many employees work from home as possible. He added that this purchase will help aide with that, and he doesn't have exact number at this time. Morgan noted that virtual desktop technology is identified as technology that is not as efficient, and these laptops are part of multi -year project to move. Jonrowe stated that Pitts asked many of the questions she had. She then asked for clarification on if there were any staff member that could work from home but can't yet due to access to laptops. Bryce responded yes; some employees don't have sufficient tech at home. Jonrowe noted the 27 days to get order from Dell and asked if the City can get a smaller number earlier. Bryce responded that Dell is working to fulfill orders due to large demand and he doesn't think that a smaller order is feasible. He added that the proposed time is not much longer than usual turnaround time. Morgan noted that a request was made through the emergency operations center. He added that the hope is to get them quicker, but there is no guarantee. Jonrowe stated that she is glad Dell came in with lowest bid as they are based nearby. Gonzalez had no comments or questions.

Solomon provided the firm daily supply, monthly base fee, firm volumetric rate and non -firm volumetric rate for each location. She then reviewed the terms for curtailment that can be activated by BRA, Round Rock, or Georgetown. Solomon stated that the terms for termination are as follows: for the City, is to terminate for any reason with one-year notice or to terminate within 60 days of rate increase; and for the City of Round Rock, is to terminate after five years with a one-year advanced notice. She then reviewed the System Capacity Projects Table and the Resource Usage Projects Table.

She added that this contract will provide additional source diversification and system resiliency. Motion by Fought, second by Pitts. Jonrowe asked the price of Blanchard contract. Dishong responded 125% of BRA system rate and the total will escalate as the BRA contract goes up. He added that this contract is for potable water and the Blanchard contract is for raw water. Jonrowe asked if the City would still be doing the Round Rock contract if the City had not done the Blanchard contract. Solomon responded yes and the Round Rock contract helps with treatment capacity. Jonrowe noted that the City is selling raw water at a premium but getting potable water for a reasonable price and pushing off infrastructure improvement. Dishong responded that is correct and the City is not having to experience capital debt related to building a plant. Gonzalez asked if the City has access to the Blanchard water yet.

Wright stated that development has already exceeded staff expectations. He stated that the City is slightly behind curve, but still able to meet demand. Wright stated that without the contract the City could possibly be unbale to meet demand. Pitts asked if this will be funded through bond debt. Morgan responded that it will be funded through partial bond and partially cash funded and using impact fees and developer fees. Pitts asked if the debt service is being covered by the water fund as well which is comprised of rates paid by users and not taxpayer dollars. Morgan responded that is correct. Jonrowe stated that she has concerns that they City doesn't know how many people will have trouble paying their utility bills due to COVID and asked if the logic for this project also includes the South Lake Expansion.
