Resident Age
Verification Survey
 
To maintain our "55 or over" exemption, Federal law requires us to periodically update our records and confirm that at least 80% of the households in Sun City Texas have at least one resident 55 years of age or over. One member of each household is asked to log into the website and take the one-question survey. After one person in the household has done this, no other members of the household will need to take the survey. (HINT: If you log into the website and are not prompted to take the survey, then another household member has already done so.)

Friendly Reminder: 
Yielding to Emergency Vehicles
Submitted by Jim Romine, Executive Director, jim.romine@sctexas.org
 
I was recently asked to publish a Friendly Reminder concerning the proper action to take when you encounter an emergency vehicle on the roadway. I checked with our friends at the Georgetown Police Department and they provided the law below:
 
Sec. 545.156. VEHICLE APPROACHED BY AUTHORIZED EMERGENCY VEHICLE. 
(a) On the immediate approach of an authorized emergency vehicle using audible and visual signals that meet the requirements of Sections 547.305 and 547.702, or of a police vehicle lawfully using only an audible signal, an operator, unless otherwise directed by a police officer, shall:
(1) yield the right-of-way;
(2) immediately drive to a position parallel to and as close as possible to the right-hand edge or curb of the roadway clear of any intersection; and
(3) stop and remain standing until the authorized emergency vehicle has passed.
(b) This section does not exempt the operator of an authorized emergency vehicle from the duty to drive with due regard for the safety of all persons using the highway.
 
Be safe and I hope this friendly reminder is helpful. 
Nonprofit Fair
 
Friday, Feb. 22 9 a.m. to Noon

City Seeks Proposals for Third-party Energy Management Review
 
The City of Georgetown is seeking proposals for both managing the City’s energy portfolio and for a comprehensive review of the City’s management practices related to purchasing and managing energy.
 
“Our current process for managing our energy is not achieving our goals,” General Manager of Utilities Jim Briggs said. “Along with selling a portion of the excess energy to a third-party, we look forward to working with industry experts in identifying ways to better manage the energy portfolio day-to-day and putting in place policies and procedures that reduce our financial risks moving forward.”
 
Both requests for proposals can be found on the City’s website at purchasing.georgetown.org. Additional information about energy costs in Georgetown can be found at gus.georgetown.org/electric.
