What they're saying
What to expect
“Georgetown’s population has more than doubled in the last 15 years. Many of our facilities really aren’t designed to serve a resident population of that size.” DAVID MORGAN, CITY MANAGER
Animal shelter action plan If Proposition C passes, these are the next steps for Georgetown to join the Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter.
If all four propositions in the bond package pass, design work on the customer service center, the expansion and renovation of the recreation center, and the construction of the YMCA facility would begin as soon as possible. Construction on some of these projects could begin by 2025, o cials said. Morgan said if any of the propositions fail: • the city would need to lease additional space for operations • there would be increased pressure on the existing recreational center • the city would have to strive to keep its “no kill” status at the animal shelter The YMCA, however, would still be able to build a facility. It would just be smaller, he said.
Georgetown would seek approval to join the WCRAS from member cities.
Current member cities would then amend the WCRAS operating agreement to include Georgetown. The WCRAS would use the Georgetown Animal Shelter for extra space until the expansion at its property is completed. Once the expansion and the integration are complete, the Georgetown Animal Shelter facility would no longer operate as an animal shelter and be repurposed for another use.
“This is a unique opportunity to address projected growth, both for Georgetown and the [Williamson County] Regional Animal Shelter.” JACK DALY,
ASSISTANT PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
