I do believe it is important to help low income homes and/or homeless people and would not object to seeing a few low income residences in Round Rock. • I have no comments on that but we do need more choices for daycare in the Sunrise area. Badly. We have very few choices. • Another community center is needed in North Round Rock like the Clay Madson. More neighborhood parks designated for teens,with soccer fields,etc located in subdivisions and hike http://ds2.vanguardsw.com/survey/vl/dscript 7/7/2004 Vanguard Vista Page 19 of 35 bike trails. x Meadow Lake Park can be expanded to have a hike/bike trail surround the lake and needs to purchase the land surrounding the lake. This is R.Rocks only lake and it should be a place where community can gather to walk/jog and a safe place for neighborhood kids to ride bikes,etc. Less low income housing services since that is making the criminal element/those on welfare find R. Rock appealing. We need to work with our schools and offer families whose children have violent behavior and behavioral problems counseling.Hopewell is one school that would benefit along with our community. • Need more entertainment for families and singles. • Clearly Round Rock has a need for any and all programs that could be made available. The community in Round Rock like all cities similiar to our population should have resources and programs made available to the public,instead of referring them to another county or advicing them that we just don't have the necessary facilities or assistant. • Would not like to see any more low income housing.I believe there is enough and that more would lower the standard of living in Round Rock. • We do need at least one facility for the temporarily homeless and one for battered women and or children,we really need services for troubled teens to get help. • I am a 55 year old white male,who was laided off from employment on April 15th 2002 and have not been able to find employment in my field.It is discouraging,because no one wants an old person and every job that I have applied for prefers bilingual.Why punish me by requiring citizens of the USA to learn another language.If citizens from another country wants to come to America,why not make then learn English. • Our family utilized the first time homebuyers downpayment program. I know that played the biggest part in helping our family acheive homeownership. I would like to see programs that help with home improvements. Thanks again,I love living in Round Rock. • I've been a resident of Round Rock since 1981 and have seen it shift from a town where anyone can afford to live,to a city which caters increasingly to the wealthy and the indigent,to the exclusion of the middle class. One must either be poor enough to receive public assistance,or be in the upper income bracket in order to afford to live here anymore. For that reason,I see a real need for more moderate-priced homes and apartments. I also see a desperate need for low-income housing for our elderly residents. Not all senior citizens can afford to live in Sun City! We need to have assisted living facilities where seniors can live and pay rent based on a sliding scale according to their income and expenses. I believe this should be our city's top priority. • We need more parks. • Community parks are left unmowed during the summer months.Tennis courts should have new nets every couple of years.Dirt trails should be cleared once a year.My family enjoys going to Old Settlers Park and having paved bike/running paths.The bridge near Dell Diamond is beautiful,but sometimes has odors from water not moving swiftly. With Round Rock growing and as larger as it is now(with 4 5A high schools)there should be another Clay Madsen Recreation Center.I would like to see it north of HWY 79,but away from Dell Diamond.I think the northern part of Sunrise before it builds up would be ideal. I enjoy going to the Round Rock Farmers Market.There seems to not be as many farmers bringing in their crops.There is alot of corn grown in and around Round Rock.My family enjoys fresh corn and I would like to see more local farmers bring in their crops to sell. • Please Please do something about affordable housing for people who work hard their whole lives,live right and try to always be a good citizen but can never scrape the money together to buy their own home. We also desperately need to address supervised entertainment/activities for the 14-19 year old age group. Actually 13-19.It seems once kids get past 12 years old,society as a whole just drops the ball in every area.I dare Round Rock to be different. • Public Transportation!!! Governments seem to wait until there is an obvious urgent need for something before they act instead of preparing ahead. I question making it possible for people to buy a house they can't afford.How will they be able to keep the house in good repair? I think people need a course in marriage before they unite. • More planned communities that have a self-sufficiency basis.Incorporate schools,churches and retail in close proximity. http://ds2.vanguardsw.com/survey/vl/dscript 7/7/2004 Vanguard Vista Page 20 of 35 • As elderly,low income,retired Texans who have lived in Round Rock for more than 20 years,I must say that there is a very real need for help for people like ourselves for home maintenance. We cannot afford much needed repairs.We moved into our home in 1983 and have always kept in good condition. Now,due to Age,health problems,and very little money....it's beginning to need serious repairs and it seems there is no help,at least,we aren't aware of any. • I'd like to see more developed parks and more activities at the Rec Centers.I am very happy with the Clay Madsen Center,but I am not a member because they do not currently have a nursery/babysitting for my kids so I can work out.I know they are working on this.Once that is in place,I will become a member. • THEY CAN TAKE OF THEMSELVES • i would like to see the park finished that has been discussed and i would like to see the dell overpass completed. i would like to see homeowners get a break in the taxes. • We currently are overrun with apartments.I feel that home ownership would be a better way for our residents take feel like they"own"a piece of the rock. • There needs to be more street lights along 1431. • Help lower incomes get into a home& keep up their homesites. • I would like to see more efforts go into the development of making Round Rock an environmentally sound place to live with more park and recreation areas open to the public. While I feel that economic growth is important to the welfare of the city,I think that making the city as beautiful as possible and as friendly to the environment as possible will make this a better place to live and work. • I bought a house in August of 2003 with DPA from the City and am so thankful to have had an opportunity to use funds like this. I'm very grateful the City has made funds like this available so low- to moderate-income folks may afford a home they'd otherwise not be able to buy. Thank you,thank you,thank you!!! Keep up the great work!! Also...good luck and keep up the fight to get Habitat for Humanity in Round Rock. Affordable housing is a great need in this wonderful city. • more community sevices gear toward teens,things for them to do or participate.ages 12-18 • 00000 • Need to have more affordable housing. Housing costs in this city are outrageous. Most of us do not work for DELL Computers,yet they get the tax breaks and we residents get stuck with ever increasing taxes every year. Need to have more rebates for efficient air conditioning,water conserving washing machines,etc. Need a first time home buyer program to help families make the transition from renter to homeowner. • a water park that we could afford. • you need to have a program available to help people with mortgages when they loose their jobs,until they get back on their feet.I am not talking about someone who does not want to work,but someone that does but cant find work. • There is alot of unemployment here,and people are having a hard time hanging on.We need JOBS! JOB Training,help with education.Will we ever be in the tax base for ACC?That would be a wonderful start. • Housing for persons with low income,elderly,and disabled should be blended in with higher income homes so as to avoid clustering disadvantaged persons consequently creating blighted neigbourhoods. All asssistance provided should be accompanied with training the assisted people on maintaining their properties and yard clean and in good working order. Rules or consequences should be established for those who do maintain their properties as agreed. Community development funds should be made available to help repair and maintain program homes in good repair so as not to jeopardize property values in the affected neighborhoods. Pedestrian walkways should be constructed to and from homes and businesses to enable individuals who do not own cars or no longer able to drive. Monies should be expended to plan and prepare for ways to enable the elderly and those who do not drive to be able to get to and from doctors,hospitals,grocery stores,and other buisnesses and public places such resturants and libraries to name a few. Funds should also be made available to assist low paid police, fire personal,and city government employees,with housing and transportation so that these vital employees can live in the city of Round Rock and near their place of work. Sidewalks should be constructed for school childrren wiho are required to walk to and from school to their homes. • The downtown historic district needs major street/drainage improvements as well as sidewalks. • we need recreation areas and parks,mabey a bike trail.more than 50%of the population of round rock is under 18 and there isnt much for them to do.i see them getting bored and in trouble. • The city of Round Rock should be concerned with parks,utilities,other infrastructure,and law enforcement,not housing or other issues that are the responsibility of individuals. • Love the free after-school program at Hopewell Middle,wish the local elementary(Robertson)had similar. http://ds2.vanguardsw.com/survey/vl/dscript 7/7/2004 Vanguard Vista Page 21 of 35 • I feel that with more commerical development being done on Sam Bass Road there is definite need for the addition of a turning lane from the railroad tracks to the Woods Subdivision. Also there are two many apartment complexes being built vs the amount of homes. This increases the number of students in school but does not add the needed school tax income so RRISD taxes are too high. I don't think that city that the income level of the area should be a deciding factor in whether or not there are improvements in sidewalks,streets or anything related to city services for the betterment of the area. All areas of the city need services,it should not depend on the income level of that area. • Better enforcement of city codes along with some city assistance to correct delapidated,dangerous, trashy,and/or decrepid homes/trailers.Attract new restaurants and entertainment businesses to "downtown"Round Rock.Develop that area as an entertainment district and or a"walking"mall type atmosphere. Support local or small restaurant owners to develop and occupy the area rather than attracting the major corporate chains.Develop the district with a LOCAL flavor. • Rent,Mortgage,and Property Taxes are too High. • I don't think that people who work and pay taxes should have their tax money spent to help those who won't work. Help should go to the elderly and the disabled. • I DO NOT WANT TO SEE ENDLESS APARTMENT COMPLEXES BUILD IN ROUND ROCK THE FEW NEW ONES THAT SHOULD BE PERMITED SHOULD HAVE A STRICT CODE ON A REASONABLE POPLUATION DENSITY,AND NOT BE ALLOWED TO BUILD APARTMENTS BASED SOLEY ON HOW MANY UNITS THEY CAN CRAM INTO A PLAT. • I would like to see the City of Round Rock offer a discount to the elderly and disables on their water/sewer bills,like Leander does. There needs to be a funded group set up to help with unexpeced costs for medical bills that hit people without insurance. • I would like to see the property values east of I-35 increased by attracting higher priced new homes in the area. • I would love to see more walking trails around the city. I would also like to see transportation (especially school transportation)expanded as well. • Better parks. • we need util and rental assist badly for low income and elderly Perhaps on a limited access program, ie.2X a year-- • I don't. I have ideas on a nonprofit organization based on cancer natural therapies,to offer the poor and uninsured free or low cost cancer services.I am about to start such a service and I am not sure where to locate or if there are any financial advantages for locating here in Round Rock near my home. • Low income housing both homes and apartments are desperately needed especially for a single parent with children.There needs to be accompanying day care availe so the parent can work and not worry about the children. • Sidewalks need to be built in areas without them. Neighborhood playgrounds need to be updated. • I think the underemployed and impoverished are hidden in Round Rock. I am just beginning to see that there is a group that does not have(1)legal aid,(2)low cost pharmaceuticals(like the People's Pharmacy),(3)adequate training for higher paying jobs,and(4)affordable housing. There are also more families headed by single mothers than I'd imagined. • Houses are too expensive for eldery on a fixed income or low-income residents...It's getting as expensive as Austin. • It's very difficult to feel connected to neighbors because it's a bedroom community with high turnover. I have two boys with autism,and I feel that further isolates us from our community. • With the amout of people that are single parents in the communtiy it becomes a daily struggle with making ends meet daily. Living paycheck to paycheck forces alot of single income homes to search for the least inexpensive place to live which is mostly in more rundown areas of Round Rock. Crime is more active in these areas but it is the only alternative to living besides your car. • There seems to be a great need for programs addressing mental illness and substance abuse problems. These issues coupled with the associated needs for housing and other"living"assistances should be a higher priority for a community as friendly as Round Rock. • There is a real problem with lack of transportation for people with disabilities who cannot drive themselves and/or cannot afford the expense of a vehicle. What we do have(CARTS,taxi service)is either unreliable or so expensive they cannot afford it on their limited income. If we had more access in this area,it would make it easier to live in other parts of town other than close enough for people to ride bicycles or walk. Unfortunately without it,we have people living where they can afford and not able to access the income they need to meet basic living expenses as they cannot get to the more http://ds2.vanguardsw.com/survey/vl/dscript 7/7/2004 Vanguard Vista Page 22 of 35 affluent,business/commercial areas. • I am medical director for a community mental health center and my patients are frequently homeless or about to become so. • There definately needs to be homeless shelters provided within Round Rock. Assistance needs to be provided to people who are in desperate need like poor elderly people and people laid off by corporations that are moving overseas. But the people who are receiving the assistance need to qualify for it instead of people who are already doing just fine without the extra money. • I believe there are plenty of homes aval.with private builder's business options for no or low down payment homes. We do not want to increase low income households in RR.I do not want to offer homeless shelters as it would encourage homeless people to come to our community. • Enough low income apartments and small family homes in the South Creek area. This area is overwhelmed as it is and property values are not good. • Need much more job training to help with jobs that have been lost. Need appropriate training and, guidance about training needed,in local schools to prepare for the real jobs of the future. Transitional housing for those who've lost homes&jobs would be a real asset. • I'm a single mom wanting to get back into a clean,middle-income neighborhood,near the Deep Wood Elementary/Chisolm Trail Middle school areas,but the housing is priced too high. Anything decent in that area is around$150k and I am unable to afford that price range. My son deserves a stable neighborhood,similar to our previous home within The Ridge of Cambridge Heights,but I can't seem to locate anything North of McNeil and South of Sam Bass that meets the criteria. I would love to buy another home comparable to our Milburn(DRHorton Home)in that area in the$120k price range. • Roads with excessive damage or big pot holes need to be taken care of. I think assistance for families with no or one income need help with their rent/mortgage and bills. • trash cleanup in the ditches on the roads is too infrequent.williamson county doesnt respond,we live in city limits,why wont you clean it?this is schultz dr off of 1325. i never see any police patrols in my neighborhood. roads need painted on 1325 near schultz,cannot see lane dividers at night.there is no street lighting either. • The key is to insure proper education for the youth of Round Rock. Education will allow communities to thrive. Neighborhoods will succeed and have its playgrounds and accessories stay in tack. We can offer temporary solutions by treating the symptom such as aids or job training,but again thourough education puts a mind to work its thoughts and ideas. • I believe that as this city is growing,and at such a fast rate,it is extremely important to provide these valuable services to help prevent an increased crime rate,among other negative effects. • I believe Round Rock should be a town that invites both small and large business into our community. We have enough appartments and no need for any more. We need to invite homeowners and potential homeowners to our town instead of building more rental properties. I fear for the future of our children as so many families no longer regularly attend church or are single-family homes where the parent or guardian has to work. Therefore,I hope that our town develops more low-cost after school community events for our children to be in a safe and healthy environment. • I belive that we need to provide assistance to the lower income segment of the popultaion,to encourage them to improve and take pride in their neighborhoods.This can be accomplished in 2 ways -first,to contract with developers and to build a greater percentage of smaller,more affordable homes in new developments.We have a clear us/them mentallity that has grown in the last 8-10 years between walled suburban enclaves and the rest of the town.Also,we should privde incentives for homeowners and renovation specialists to come into existing neighborhoods to renovate unsafe and run down homes on a for-profit basis.Enforcement of codes(building,maintenance,cleanliness) would be a start.There are some shining examples of urban renewal,but these are right beside completely run down homes of people who are clearly not making much money or taking pride in their homestead. Our Clay Madsen community center is an excellent facility and the majority of our parks are also very good and well used. • Northeast Round Rock,Mesa Village is in dire in need of activities for youth. A community center and/or a swimming pool is extremely necessary to keep the youth busy and physically active. It is sad to see pre-teen kids at the park and throughout the apartments bored to death and possibly risk being affected by drug pushers in the area. PLEASE HELP THESE KIDS AND THEIR FAMILIES. The pools and activities are beyond reach as some of these kids don't have transportation. • Emergency shelters and transitional housing for displaced families needs to be developed. http://ds2.vanguardsw.com/survey/vl/dscript 7/7/2004 Vanguard Vista Page 23 of 35 • There is a great need to clean up the downtown Round Rock neighborhood. Many of the homes appear to be imploding. Much could be done to clean up the neighborhood. The City of RR needs to take an active role in enforcing code violations. • SECTION 8 PEOPLE SHOULD BE ABLE TO BUY HOMES WITH THE VALTURES • use the clay masden center a lot. facilities like that are good for communities. • I see a large gap in working to middle income families that have insurance benefits for mental health. These families use all of the insurance benefits that is allowed on their policies and then they can no longer afford to continue to receive or provide mental health services. The problem lies with the family making too much money,but they do not have any more mental health benefits and then they can not afford to pay the out rageous expenses that are needed to continue the appropriate care. These families do not qualify for any assistance. So what happens to these families? Services are not continued and if they are the family is financially destroyed. These families can afford to pay for services but not what the doctors are charging. So what do they do? Loss everything that they have worked their entire lives for? My family is currently facing this type of situation. We have medical bills for having a child in a residential program and owe big bucks. This child is needing to see a psychiarist on a weekly basis,a and a therapist. Not to mention the family counseling on a weekly basis. This type of weekly schedule of appointments cost more than the monthly housing. We have utilizing all of our savings and the insurance benefit has run out. We do not qualify for any help,because we make to much money. This grant could be used to help families that have seriously mentally-illed children that are in situations like the one above. • We need free after school care combined with help with homework. We need activities for all age children that don't cost the parents$100 and up. Such as,school soccer teams that compete with other schools in the area,just like football and basketball. We need anger management programs for adults and children. Learn how to settle differences without violence and how to control tempers. • Roads need repaired and restructured to accommodate all of the new heavy traffic. • Sidewalks are a very good thing! We just recieved more in our neighborhood and appreciate them greatly. • Parks and trails. • I believe in the community having a need for further health care and housing assistance.I also believe that offering children a safe and comfortable environment to play in,especially if they have nobody at home due to both parents working full-time jobs,necessary. • needsto be more information on what is being done now • I would like to see some more mixed use residential areas where both commercial and residential are combined.This would allow individulas to walk around their community more rather than depending on their cars. • I work with people who have mental illness and also have a daughter who has schizophrenia.For the most part these poepl have SSI-which is limited to less less then$550 per month.This is hardly enough income to let them live anywhere,except in housing authorities-where they have extensive waiting lists.I feel there is a great need for assistance for these folks. Along with the fact that I feel this area needs"an affordable"living community for the elderly.I was most impressed when I recently visited this 90 year old friend of mine in Mpls. She is currently living in a community where they have their own apts-where they can go down and eat,play bingo etc.Then as they get older and more handicapped they move into a place where there is more assistance. I feel we need something similar to this in Wmson Cty. • I think some of the money should go towards loan interest loans to the people who live in the oldest part of down town Round Rock.Those houses need new roofs and to be leveled.Better training for higher paying jobs would be a good way to distribute the money so the people in those houses could afford a low interest loan to fix up their house.Once they have pride in their house and confidence in their ability to get a better job,their lives will improve. • I think there needs to be more places for children to go. We have children biking,skating, skateboarding,etc. in the drainage ditches near our home on a very consistent basis. The city will repair the chain-link fences to keep them out and the children will just tear them back down to play there. • I guess the most frustrating thing in Round Rock is the lack of access for Stony Point students to their High School if they live south of the rail road tracks. AW Grimes has been promised for years and http://ds2.vanguardsw.com/survey/vl/dscript 7/7/2004 Vanguard Vista Page 24 of 35 still hasn't been built through. This is a major disappointment and needs to be addressed soon before a student dies. • Parks and recreation are important. Golf course would be nice in Round Rock. • Need to know where they are posted on the web so that I may know what's available. • Round Rock city leaders and employees that I have met are working really hard to do a good job. More free training should be given all city employees so they can advance in their field. • As a single parent,I am having a very difficult time qualifying for a loan so I can buy a home for my son and myself. I am having a difficult time providing the basic needs for my family(this is in part due to the cost of rent,student loans,medical bills,etc.)yet,I am told I make"too much"to receive any type of assistance!!! I am disabled(thanks to a drunk driver)who has a son who has a history of seizures. Homes in this area are not"handicap friendly!" • Please provide more health care support for the populations who fall through the cracks. Emergency help with prescription costs particularly the elderly; dental care for children and adults is also important. • I appreciate the place I live. • We need more units like Cushing Center. • We need more units like Cushing Center • Common decency dctates that a homeless shelter be available in every community. Shelter for victims of domestic violence is another MUST ! Aside from those critical issues,Rund Rock should[rovide for the needs of its residents.) There is an unusally large--and ACTIVE--senior citizen community here. Many doctors here do NOT accept Medicare patients. That needs to be addressed. The local bus service for senior citizens is a real plus--one of the reasons I chose to purchase a home in this city. Please continue to support that. Help the construction of the new senior citizen's center,which is underway. And lastly,most elderly people prefer to write letters rather than e-mail their family and friends. There is a real lack of mail boxes in the area. I know of only one(near Albertsons on the corner of I35 and 620). It would be a great assistance to elderly people to have stationery mail boxes available in each subdivision and in each corner shopping strip. That will encourage them to walk more also. • The jobs that are availabile in Round Rock do not pay anything comparing to the prices od rent or owning a house. So how can we continue to live in Round Rock and the job do not pay well at all. • We are an elderly couple with only social security income and a very small pension. I was working till January 2003 and then lost my job when I had by-pass surgery. My husband can't work due to a mental condition he is being treated for. We could possibly lose our home because our house payment is 70%of our income and our taxes and insurance are not included in our payment. I am sure there are others like us. We still owe for last years taxes. We could be homeless in a month or two because I have not been able to work much this year due to cancer surgery. • please,more and better parks(not just for sports)before there is no land left. how about a gardens park like Zilker where you could take a leisurely walk enjoying the native and adapted plants and flowers in season? how about a dog park to exercise our dogs off leash? maybe a youth program to keep our young people out of the harm's way of drugs and crime etc.,which would have them creating a park. they'd work off lots of excess energy and get much sense of self worth and accomplishment, plus the satisfaction of receiving kudos from old cudgeons like me. • With the exception of emergancy shelters/temporary housing due to fire or other natural disaster The City of Round Rock has no business using taxpayers dollars to subsidizing housing.Child care or job training in any form should remain the responibility of the individual and not a governmental entity. • Since I am unaware of the demographics and budget of Round Rock,my initial thought is to provide housing for low-mid income residents in a cooperative program of job training/education,and counseling. Initially there should be an overall assessment of the individuals'status/needs,(i.e.needs w/children,elderly parents,job training,ESL education,etc.) so that all needs can be considered. • I was surprised to find out that there is no bus transportation between Round Rock and Austin. Or within Round Rock itself. I found out because a relative's car was broke. She had no way of getting transportation from Sun Rise to HEB. Her weight keeps her from walking that distance. Plus,she has a 9 mo old and and 4 year old. • skate boarding!..make the kids a park so they can skate board!..theres is no place for them to skate....stop having the police stand watch at stoney point high school..they should be doing more important things then making sure parents are not picking up kids in front of the school...this a waste a, of taxpayers money...due to the lack of planning when building the school..they should of made more exits....theres an empty field just pass sun rise vesta....make that into a park...no more apartments in our area.. http://ds2.vanguardsw.com/survey/vl/dscript 7/7/2004 Vanguard Vista Page 25 of 35 • We are in need of hike and bike trails and child activities during the summer that don't cost soo much. • The new housing in Round Rock seem to be more for executives than for the blue collar worker. We almost have to move to Hutto or Pflugerville to afford a new home. • I am worried about the source of water supply to the Lakeside Lake by all the construction around it. I don't want the lake to dry up becouse the source of water is now going into the drainage system of new streets in new neighborhoods being biult all around it. Please call to assure me that the concern is being addressed already. Thank you. Javier (512-636-5351) • The area is very exspensive to live in. This a very nice community and not a lot of crime and I love the area a lot,but it is too exspensive. There should be reasonable prices or there should be more jobs to help people make the income needed to live in this area. • Need more effort put into improving and/or protecting unused city-owned land-such as flood plan areas and lots.Fencing should be put around flood-plan areas to keep children in those neighborhoods safe when playing outside and landscaping should be maintained instead of letting those areas get overgrown and unsightly. • Need more open areas,parks and hike and bike trails. Full service recreation centers would be nice- one in each quadrant..... An answer to this question is not required and 124 of 232 respondents chose not to answer. 34) Please enter the name of your subdivision so that data can be tied to census block groups. • Wood Glen • Cimmaron • Round Rock Ranch • Greenslopes • meadowlake • Sonoma • Woods • Kensington Place • Round Rock Ranch • Jester Farms • Mesa Ridge • Hermitage • The Settlement/Meadow Lake • Cimmeron • Chandler Creek Condos • StoneHaven at Round Rock • stonehaven apartments • south creek • Bent Tree • Greenslopes • Stone Oak • No sub/Cross streets are Country Aire&Sunrise • The intersection of Gattis School and South Mays area • South Creek • Teravista • Greenslopes • ryans crossing • Ryan's Crossing • Old Town Meadows • Greenlawn • Mesa Ridge • Sam Bass Apartments on Sam Bass Road • Mesa Park • South Creek • South Creek http://ds2.vanguardsw.com/survey/vl/dscript 7/7/2004 Vanguard Vista Page 26 of 35 • Oak Creek • Chisum Valley • Laurel RIdge • Greenlawn • Ryan's Crossing • Mesa Park • Greenslopes • n/a • Round Rock Ranch • THE FLATS • Egger Acres • chapel hill • High Country • Flower Hill • South Creek • Flower Hill • Stone Oak • Cimmaron • Main Street Area • chandler creek • Hermitage • Sunrise Vista • lake creek west • stone oak • Forest Bluff • Laurel Ridge • Southcreek Subdivision • Round Rock West • southcreek- • south creek • Bradford Park • Southwest Historical Downtown Area near proposed new city hall. • Mesa Ridge • historic district,e. liberty ave. • rocking horse ranch • High Country • Mesa Park • Sam Bass Trails • Kensington Place • Rolling Ridge • Ryan's Crossing-next to Dell Diamond • Sonoma • Dove Creek • Chandler Creek • mesa ridge • oak bluff estates • Mesa Ridge • greenlawn • Kengington • rolling ridge • McNeil Road • oak creek • South Creek • Settlement • Round Rock Ranch • mesa ridge • Oak Bluff • laurel ridge • Chandler Creek..lennar. • Main Street and Georgetown St. • Southcreek http://ds2.vanguardsw.com/survey/vl/dscript 7/7/2004 Vanguard Vista Page 27 of 35 • eagle ridge • Egger Acres • Hyridge Street.(no subdivision) • The Settlement • Lake Forest • The Gables Apartments • Fern Bluff • Ryan's Crossing • Stone Oak • Sunrise Road(Sunchase Apts,Sunset Apts,and Country Air) • Laurel Ridge • GREENSLOPES • Chisolmtrail • Forest Bluff • downtown area • Stone Canyon • Vista Oaks • Mesa Village • Bluebonnet Trails MHMR • Wood Glen • South Creek • Jester Farms • Gattis • Bent Tree • The Mansions on the Green • The Creek Apartments • spring ridge • mayfield ranch • Downtown • remington heights • Forest Creek • Sonoma • Mesa Ridge • RR West • Tonkawa Springs • Ryan's Crossing • The Enclave and Round Rock Ranch • Sonoma • Sunrise Vista • rob roy • Greenslopes • Old Town-Central Round Rock. • cimmaron • Pflugerville • Dove Creek • na • Mesa Village • kensington • Forest Bluff Estates • Heart of Round Rock Neighborhood • BRADFORD PARK • Greenslopes • Eagle Ridge • Don't know the name but live on Dixie Lane • The Lodge at Warner Ranch • Sonoma • Cambridge Heights " • warner ranch • Kensington • round rock ranch • Mansions http://ds2.vanguardsw.com/survey/vl/dscript 7/7/2004 Vanguard Vista Page 28 of 35 • cimarron • Forest Creek • Lawnmont Drive area in Round Rock • Kensington Place • Oaklands • Preserves at Stone Oak • Laurel Ridge • South Creek • Stone Oak • sam bass • Lakeside • Chandler Creek Apartment Homes • Laurel Ridge • Greenslopes • old town meadows • South Creek • Wood Glen • jester farms • Westchester Woods Apartments • South Creek • round rock • Anderson Mill • Brushy Creek-Rollingway Drive • Oak Hollow • the ranch apartments • Lantana • No subdivision name—off Greenlawn behind Clay Madsen Rec. • Estate at Settlers Park • bradford park • Cushing Center • kinsington • Cushing Center • Cushing Center • Cushing Center • Cushing Center • Warner Ranch • Village of Stone Oak • Round Rock West • Four Points • South Creek subdivision(2511 Willow Way) • Rolling Ridge • Creekside • Round Rock Original Plat • Oaklands • Eagle Ridge/The Settlement • Dove Creek • egger acres • historic district • settler's crossing • chandler creek • old town meadows • Somerset Dr. • The Woods • Windy Park • The Woods • Hidden Glen • Bent Tree • Dave Curry area • Creek Bend • Keniston • Jester Farms http://ds2.vanguardsw.com/survey/vl/dscript 7/7/2004 Vanguard Vista Page 29 of 35 • forest bluff • unknown subdivision/area near greenlawn and Gatti School road -ems • Ryan's Crossing • Mayfield Ranch • Blessing Mobile home Community • Hyridge street • Somerset • Lakeside • round rock west • Ryan's Corssing • Kinsington Place • Ryan's Crossing • BRUSHY SLOPES • Round Rock West ii) Thank you for participating in our survey! http://ds2.vanguardsw.com/survey/vl/dscript 7/7/2004 Vanguard Vista Page 30 of 35 Questionnaire Will you please take a moment to participate in the City of Round Rock 2004 Community Needs Survey?

S Thank you for participating in our survey! http://ds2.vanguardsw.com/survey/vl/dscript 7/7/2004 Vanguard Vista Page 34 of 35 Notes Bar Graph Confidence Intervals: The bar graphs presented in the Results Analysis section include 95%confidence intervals to illustrate the degree of precision available in your results.For example, in the following graph 54.2%(160/295) of the respondents indicated they will vote Democrat vs. 45.8% (135/295)Republican. How will you vote in the upcoming election? Democrat (160) i 54.2% Republican (135) ...........1 45.8% 1 1 iI i 1 3 1 1 E E 0 10 20 3o 4�0 �0 oo 70 ort _O 100% However,because the survey is based on the results of only 295 respondents,the actual percent of people who will vote Democrat could be somewhat higher or lower than 54.2%. Confidence intervals tell you how much higher or lower the percent could be. The I-bar show and the tip of each bar illustrates the spread between the lowest and highest value you are likely to see if you were to survey the entire population. In the example above,you can be 95%certain that the actual percent of people who will vote Democrat will be between 48%and 60%. Furthermore, somewhere between 40%and 52%of people will vote Republican. As you increase the number of respondents the range of uncertainty shrinks. Confidence: Each bar graph group is followed by the text "Confidence:" and a percentage. This number is the largest confidence interval found on any of the bars in the group and can be used as a summary measure of precision. The more precise,non-symmetrical confidence intervals are illustrated separately on each bar. Average Score: Some bar graph groups are followed by the text "Average Score:" and a number that represents the weighted average of all options chosen by the respondents.For example, if you asked respondents to rate their satisfaction on a scale including Very satisfied, Satisfied, Neutral, Dissatisfied, and Very dissatisfied and half responded Very satisfied and half responded Satisfied,the average score would be 1.5--half chose the first option(score=l) and half chose the second option(score=2), so the average score is 1.5. Correlation: The answers to two questions are correlated when they tend to move together.For example, if you ask respondents to rate their overall satisfaction with your company and also ask if http://ds2.vanguardsw.com/survey/vl/dscript 7/7/2004 Vanguard Vista Page 35 of 35 they are likely to purchase from your company again,the answers to these questions will probably show a strong correlation. That is,when satisfaction is high,the likelihood of repeat purchase is high. This is a positive correlation. Some question pairs have negative correlation. For example,the time a person spends on hold when calling for support usually has a negative correlation with overall satisfaction. Correlation is presented as a number from-1 to 1 where-1 is perfect negative correlation, 0 is no correlation,and 1 is perfect positive correlation. When a statistically significant correlation between the answers of any two questions is found the report will include a note highlighting the correlation.This information can be used to gain insight into what factors drive key measures such as overall satisfaction. ©Copyright 2004,Vanguard Software Corporation.All rights reserved. http://ds2.vanguardsw.com/survey/vl/dscript 7/7/2004 No Text r City of Round Rock Appendix B 2004-2005 Action Plan Consolidated Plan 38 2004-2009 U.S. Department of Housing OMB Approval No.2506-0117 and Urban Development (Exp.8/31/2005) Table 3 Consolidated Plan Listing of Projects Applicant's Name: City of Round Rock Priority Need High Project Title Planning and Administration Project Description Administrative costs and carrying charges related to the planning and execution of community development activities.

With respect to activities expected to be assisted with CDBG funds, it certifies that it has developed its Action Plan so as to give maximum feasible priority to activities which benefit low and moderate income families or aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight. The Action Plan may also include activities which the grantee certifies are designed to meet other community development needs having a particular urgency because existing conditions pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community, and other financial resources are not available); 2.
