EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Round Rock has prepared the 2000 -2001 Community Development
Action Plan (CDAP) that identifies how the City will use federal resources to
meet priority community needs. The overall goal of the CDAP is to identify
resources which will improve the lives of Round Rock's residents by: providing
homeownership assistance; improving neighborhoods; providing economic
opportunities; providing public services assistance; and delivering needed
services.
In accordance with federal regulations, the City of Round Rock prepared a 5-
year Consolidated Plan which included a needs assessment, a list of priority
community needs, and strategies to address priority needs. The categories of
priority needs addressed in the Consolidated Plan are neighborhood
improvements, economic opportunities, housing, pubic services, and community
development.
The document also includes the one -year CDAP which identifies the City's plan
for funds received from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Department
(HUD) through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). The 2000-
2001 CDAP identifies the goals and objectives to be achieved during the third
program year (PY) of the plan covering the period October 1, 2000, through
September 30, 2001. Round Rock's allocation for PY 2000 -2001 was increased
by 4.8% percent. Round Rock will receive a total of $433,000. These funds and
general fund contributions to public services total $644,843.
The Office of Community Development is the lead agency responsible for
developing the 5 -Year Consolidated Plan and CDAPs. The Office coordinated
with the Round Rock Housing Authority, Williamson County and Cities Health
District, and the Chamber of Commerce to develop the plan. Citizen
participation was coordinated by the Community Development Manager and
Community Development Specialist. A series of three public hearings and a
community -wide needs assessment survey were utilized to obtain citizens' views
on community needs.
Priorities for funding in 2000 -2001 were established by analysis of data, services
available in the community, public input, survey results, and the 5 -year
Consolidated Plan. The priorities are 1) Affordable and accessible housing; 2)
Community development; and 3) Economic development.
Some of the programs funded through the CDBG program will be emphasized in
seven target areas based on census block groups. Other programs are operated
on a city -wide basis. A full description of targeted programs is included in the
CDAP. A minimum of 81 percent of the CDBG funds made available to the City
will benefit households earning less than 80 percent of the median family
income. Of the CDBG funds allocated for housing, 100 percent will benefit
households earning Tess than 80 percent of the median family income. In the
first two years of the housing program, thirty-six low- moderate income families
became new homeowners with assistance provided them through the housing
program.

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
The City of Round Rock is committed to encouraging the development
and preservation of services and facilities which improve housing options,
increase economic diversification, and improve opportunities for low- and
moderate- income citizens. The primary challenge is to protect the quality of life
while managing rapid growth and change.
The Five -Year Consolidated Plan included an assessment of housing and
community development needs for the five -year period beginning with Fiscal
Year 1998/99. This document also identified priorities and strategies for the
CDBG program. A one -year action plan was developed to implement the
strategies during the first year covered by the Consolidated Plan. Five main
components were included in the 5 -Year Consolidated Plan: (1) Community
Profile, (2) Housing and Homeless Needs Assessment, (3) Housing Market
Analysis, (4) Five -Year Strategic Plan, and (5) One -Year Community
Development Action Plan (CDAP) for PY 1998 -99. General priorities were
developed based on the results of staff analysis, citizen participation and public
hearings, surveys of housing and social service needs, and Census data in
conjunction with Community 2020 software. Using information provided by these
sources, the City identified three priorities: housing, community development
and economic development. The following table summarizes the priorities and
the strategies the City plans to implement over the next five years to address the
priorities.

1998 -2002 Community Development Priority Categories and Strategies
Lead Agency
The Office of Community Development is the lead agency designated to prepare
and submit the Five -Year Consolidated Plan and One -Year CDAPs in each
succeeding year. The goal is to effectively and efficiently provide affordable
housing and economic development opportunities in partnership with the
community. To accomplish this, the Office directly administers a variety of
programs to serve the community's housing, community development, social and
economic development needs.
Administration of Federal Grants
The Office of Community Development directly administers the CDBG Program
with the City of Round Rock currently in its second year of receiving CDBG
funds.
Citizen Participation in Developing the CDAP
Citizen participation, an integral part of developing Round Rock's 2000 -2001
CDAP, was obtained through public hearings, public meetings, and a community
needs assessment survey.
• Stakeholders Meetings.
• Five Affordable Housing Task Force meetings were held from November,
1999 through April, 2000. Topics that were discussed were public and
assisted housing, affordable multifamily and single family development.
• Ten meetings were held by the Round Rock Social Services Coalition
from December through April, 2000. This coalition was comprised of the
following agencies: United Way, Any Baby Can, The Volunteer Center,
Bluebonnet MHMR, The Round Rock Serving Center, The Community
Services Council, The Round Rock Health Clinic, St. John Vianny, Round
Rock ISD, Williamson- Burnet Counties Opportunities, and the Round
Rock Caregivers. The goal of this coalition is to have a central location to
house all services these agencies provide.
• Citizen Surveys. From May 15 through May 26 Citizen Survey Boards were
placed in 18 locations throughout the City to solicit input from community
residents on needs. From 2000 surveys that were distributed, .04% (81)
were completed and returned to the Office of Community Development.
• Community Development Commission. A total of seven public hearings
before the Community Development Commission (CDC) and the City Council
will be held during the Annual Action Plan process. The CDC held four public
hearings: May 8, 2000; May 11, 2000; June 12, 2000; and July 10, 2000.
City Council held two public hearings: June 22, 2000 and July 13, 2000. A
seventh and final public hearing will be held by City Council on August 10,
2000. During this period over 100 persons attended these meetings with 15

persons giving testimony on the needs of the community. Notification of
dates, times, and locations of these public meetings appeared in the Austin
American Statesman on April 27, 2000 and May 17, 2000. Notification of the
dates, times, and locations of the public hearings on the Annual Action Plan
were also inserted in the City's water bills and appeared on the City's
website.
• Written comments. The Office of Community Development and the LBJ
School of Public Affairs combined public input from hearings and surveys to
prepare a draft Annual Plan. The Draft Community Development Annual
Action Plan (CDAP) was made available for public review and comment on
June 1, 2000. The CDAP could be reviewed by the public at the Robert G.
and Helen Griffith Public Library, the Office of Community Development, and
the Planning and Community Development office. Notification of the draft
plan public review appeared in the Austin American Statesman on May 17,
2000.
• City Council Hearings. Three public hearings will be held by City Council to
receive public input on the Community Development Annual Action Plan on
June 22, 2000, July 13, 2000, and August 10, 2000. Notification of these
hearings appeared in the Austin American Statesman on May 17, 2000.

2001 are:

Subject: HUD request
Joanne —
HUD called today at 1:30 PM and asked that Form 424 (application for Federal
Assistance) be revised to reflect additional program income. They said the program
income generated in FY 99/2000 ($1150 00) should be added to the projected program
income in 2000/2001 ($3000.00).
In a nutshell, the application shows $3000.00 program income and they've asked me to
revise that amount to $4150.00. The Mayor signed this document at the Council
meeting. Can the Mayor sign a revised Form 424 or will this revision require Council
action again?
