AB Consideration and possible action to approve and authorize the Mayor to execute a Lease
Agreement between the City of Georgetown and Williamson -Burnet County Opportunities, Inc.
d/b/a Opportunities for Williamson and Burnet Counties, Inc. (OWBC) for the facilities located
at 103 Holly Street, 601 N. College Street, and 803 West 81h Street in Georgetown, Texas -- Shirley
Rinn, Executive Assistant to the City Manager and David Morgan, City Manager
Rinn presented the item and explained that Opportunities for Williamson and Burnet
Counties, Inc. (OWBC) has had a long-standing relationship with the City of Georgetown
since 1977 and provides services like the Meals on Wheels Program and Early Head Start
Programs. She continued that there are currently two existing lease agreements for City -
owned property for 803 West 8th Street, for the Madella Hilliard Neighborhood Center, which
has provided community services since 1977; 103 Holly Street for the operation of the
Rawleigh Elliott Head Start Center since 2001; and 601 North College Street for the Mary
Bailey Head Start Center since 1995. Rinn stated that the OWBC's current lease agreement
for the Madella Hilliard Neighborhood Center expires in September 2025, and its lease
agreement for the Mary Bailey and Rawleigh Elliott Head Start Centers expires in August
2021. She stated that OWBC provides important and valuable programs and services to the
community at large and these programs and services do accomplish a public purpose. Rinn
noted that Rawleigh Elliot and Mary Bailey Head Start Centers: provide a high quality,
comprehensive children development program with a strong social service component to
children of low-income families; provide expectant mothers, children zero to five, and their
families are provided with comprehensive services including education, health and dental
screenings, nutrition, social services, mental health evaluations, and parent involvement;
when at full capacity OWBC can serve 97 children who are Georgetown Citizens; OWBC is
currently serving 76 children in Georgetown; and the infant and toddler playground on the
premises is available for use by the general public. She continued that Meals on
Wheels/Senior Center Madella Hilliard: provides daily nutritious lunch meals primarily for,
but not limited to, patrons who are home bound and at least 60 years of age ("Seniors"), those
with disabilities who live with Seniors, or those who live in Senior housing, and their guests
and this may include hot and/or frozen meals; congregate meals provide daily nutritious
lunch meal on location primarily for, but not limited to, patrons who are at least 60 years of
age ("Seniors"), those with disabilities, and their guests; if congregate meals are not available
on location due to unforeseen circumstances, weekly meals are available for pick-up on
location on the Monday of each week and this may include hot and/or frozen meals; normally
they serve 30 congregate meals and 230 home delivered meals each day, but currently there
are no congregate meals due to the impacts of COVID-19; and they provide parents of
children who are students in the Head Start program access to quality, nutritious meals for
their children while they are learning at the school. Rinn noted that the new lease agreement
is needed because OWBC has requested that the City terminate its two existing lease
agreements and enter into a new single Lease Agreement to memorialize the continued
partnership of the organizations, and the new agreement will not diminish the historical in -
kind rental assistance, maintenance (for Madella Hilliard), and utility assistance (for Madella
Hilliard and Mary Bailey) that has been provided to OWBC in the past by the City either
through the terms of the two existing lease agreements, or by the approval of the City Council.
She continued that the purpose of this new lease agreement will: not diminish the terms in
the existing agreements; capture the terms included both existing agreements into one
agreement; memorialize current practices; and provide consistency for OWBC to plan for
future services provided. Rinn stated that the terms of the new Lease Agreement captures
the terms that were included in the two existing Lease Agreements with exception of the
following, which have been agreed to by OWBC: clarification of language or new terms in the
lease agreement to coincide with current law; the new lease term is for ten years (October 1,
2020 — September 30, 2030) with an option to extend for one additional 10 year term under the
same covenants, provisos and agreements outlined in the lease agreement; and a detailed
description of services provided in exchange for the in -kind utilities and rental assistance that
the City is providing in the lease. She noted that the terms of the new Lease Agreement
captures the terms that were included in the two existing Lease Agreements with exception
of the following, which have been agreed to by OWBC: the provision for Opportunities to
pay consideration of $1 per year for each of the facilities (Madella Hilliard and the Head Start
Facilities (Mary Bailey and Rawleigh Elliott); clarification of the maintenance responsibilities
of the City and Opportunities at each of the properties/facilities; funding for in -kind
maintenance assistance included for Madella Hilliard in Annual Budget; inclusion of in -kind
utilities for the Mary Bailey facility and the Madella Hilliard Facility; and funding for in -kind
utility assistance included in Annual Budget.

Manager
Rinn presented the item and noted that is the next step after the approval of a new Lease
Agreement (Item AB) between the City and OWBC. She continued that the new Lease Agreement
memorializes the continued partnership between the City and Opportunities, and the Council's
approval of the New Lease Agreement in the previous agenda item necessitates the need for the
City Council to consider approval to authorize the Mayor to execute a Memorandum of Notice of
Termination of Lease Agreements for the two existing Lease Agreements with Opportunities.

AE Public Hearing and First Reading of an Ordinance amending Chapter 10, "Sign Standards,"
Section 5.04.020, "Commercial Use Limitations," and Section 16.02, "Definitions," of the
Unified Development Code (UDC) and amending Chapter 12.12, "Advertising Signs and
Banners," and Chapter 12.16, "Signs Adjacent to Freeways," of the Code of Ordinances,
relating to updates to the City's sign regulations -- Jack Daly, Community Services Director;
Jeff Cardwell, Chief Plans Examiner; and Andreina Davila -Quintero, AICP, Current Planning
Manager
Daly presented the item and thanked the review team that consisted of Jeff Cardwell, Chief
Plans Examiner; Jack Daly, Community Services Director; Brad Hofmann, Chief Code
Enforcement Officer; Andreina Davila -Quintero, Current Planning Manager; and Jim
Kachelmeyer, Assistant City Attorney. He explained that in the court case of Reed v. Town
of Gilbert (2015) determined that content -based sign ordinances are an unconstitutional
regulation of speech. Daly stated that, for example, a City cannot have different size, height
and duration requirements for political signs than for signs providing directions to an
assembly or other event. He stated that staff recommendations are to: eliminate any separate
rules for categories of signs that are defined by the content or subject matter of their message
which means avoiding rules that have different size, height, or duration requirements for
"political" signs, "directional" signs, "real estate" signs, etc.; closely review "exceptions" to
regulations to make sure they are not content based and eliminate such exceptions even if
they seem innocuous (e.g., exceptions for historical markers, address signs, etc.); and adopt
content neutral, "time, place, and manner" (TPM) regulations, including rules governing the
size and location of signs, the amount of time signs are displayed, and the total number of
signs allowed per mile of roadway. Daly added that Georgetown Sign Regulations are in the
Unified Development Code (UDC) in Chapter 5 - Zoning Use Regulations Sec. 5.04.020,
Chapter 10 - Signs Standards, and Chapter 16 - Definitions; and in the Code of Ordinances in
Sec. 12.12 - Advertising Sign and Banners and Sec 12.16 - Signs Adjacent to Freeways. He
continued that content -based Reed issues in Georgetown's Code are references to civic uses
and non -civic uses; exemptions for real estate signs political signs, and HOA signs; and
content -specific rules for signs in the right-of-way (ROW), temporary signs, and home -builder
signs. Daly stated that the staff proposed approach is a phased approach to address Reed
issues, consolidate sign regulations as much as possible, preserve home -builder sign program,
disallow temporary signs in ROW including for special events, specific signage requirements
based on zoning are allowed (e.g. automobile signs) which gets tricky with SUPs that are
issued based on specific use within a zoning district, and clarify prohibitions, enforcement.
He noted that staff's recommendation is being called the Georgetown Two -Step where the
City will first fix constitutional issues in current sign regulations, complete
administrative/legal clean-ups to make current practices and interpretations more clear,
consolidate the ordinance, and provide an executive amendment process and keep the UDC
Advisory Committee advised. Daly continued that the second step will be to address items
previously approved in UDC general amendment list, provide for a public process to discuss
further additions and amendments, and utilize UDC Advisory Committee. He stated that the
recommendations have the pros of addresses Reed concerns, creates incentive to finish
amending sign ordinance, removes conflicts and ambiguity within the Chapter and other
sections of the UDC, and simplifies second round redline for UDC Advisory Board and
public; and the cons are that it removes and limits some civic use signs, executive amendment
process with a public hearing still required at the Planning and Zoning Commission and City
Council meetings, and that no signs allowed in right-of-way while also removing the
prohibition on off -premise signage. Daly noted that potential topics for Round Two changes
include: general amendments recommended by UDC Advisory Committee; portable sign
definition related to feather signs, H-frame signs, signs affixed to vehicles, and "mobile"
billboards; temporary signs versus banners; digital signs such as fuel price signs; and
Downtown and Old Town Design Guidelines to be completed through the Guidelines review
process. He provided the proposed timeline of: September 81h City Council Workshop where
staff secured concurrence on proposed changes and approach; P&Z recommendations on
October 611,; Council First Reading on October 271h; Council Second Reading on November 8;
in Fall/Winter provide a public process for second round ordinance changes; and in
Winter/Spring have the First Reading of the second round ordinance changes.

AF First Reading of an Ordinance amending Chapter 8.28 of the Code of Ordinances, titled

Daly presented the item and noted that the proposed ordinance aligns City definitions with
State law, adds aircraft and watercraft to the definitions, allows for the abated of vehicles in
alignment with other vehicles, clarifies hearing processes, removes the Building Standards
Commission as the overseeing body, and removes duplicative language.

or significant unplanned disruption of service to multiple customers; notify the City when
undertaking work that will result in disruption of service for a significant period of time to

prepared in response to leaks or other gas emission incidents in the City; provide to the City
a local or toll -free telephone number that is manned 24 hours a day, seven days a week to

format showing the location of System Facilities. She explained that for franchisee payments,
audit rights were added to include: inspect, review, audit and examine all the books, records
and invoices of Atmos Energy applicable to this franchise agreement and to the prior

AH Consideration and possible action to approve an economic development agreement with
Titan NorthPark35 for an off -site water line capital improvement -- Michaela Dollar,
Economic Development Director
Dollar presented the item and provided the project background as follows: Titan Commercial
Development has partnered with Motion Commercial to build two 150,000 square foot
buildings, totaling approximately 300,000 square foot of industrial space; Texas Speed will
occupy approximately half of the first building for its company expansion; and the additional
approximately 130 acres, and surrounding land is also well -suited for employment center
development. She then provided a map of the location and project description as follows: the
development does not have access to adequate water capacity to serve the site and needed
fire suppression systems; in order to get adequate water capacity, an off -site water line
extension was identified by staff as a capital improvement; the improvement would increase
water capacity for the site and surrounding areas, and take away the need to have large water
storage tanks on the site; and Titan has agreed to design and construct the water line
improvement to City standards in order to complete the project in time to serve the industrial
development. Dollar provided the Capital Improvement Location Map and reviewed the
Economic Development Agreement which includes: reimbursement for Infrastructure
Reimbursement Grant to be paid from the water capital improvement fund totaling
$1,700,000; engineering design completed within 60 days; construction will commence within
30 days of plan approval by the City; and construction will be completed within 120 days of
commencement.
