The City Council hereby finds and declares that written notice of the date, hour, place and subject of the meeting at which this Resolution was adopted was posted and that such meeting was open to the public as required by law at all times during which this Resolution and the subject matter hereof were discussed, considered and formally acted upon, all as required by the Open Meetings Act, Chapter 551, Texas Government Code, as amended. RESOLVED this 14th day of Ma ATTEST: CHRISTINE R. MARTINEZ, City Secretar 2 ROBERT A. STLUKA, SR., Mayor City of Round Rock, Texas DATE: March 8, 2002 SUBJECT: City Council Meeting — March 14, 2002 ITEM: 13.B.4. Consider a resolution in support of the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization's priority highway projects before the Texas Transportation Commission. On March 28, the Capital Area Transportation Coalition (CATC) will participate with the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO) in a joint appearance before the Texas Transportation Commission. At that time, they will request FY 2006 funding for the three - priority highway projects that the CAMPO Policy Advisory Committee (PAC) selected in December: • US 290(W) East of Williamson Creek to west of RM 1826: Construct freeway main lanes on US 290 (W) at the Y in Oak Hill • US 183(S) South of FM 969 to north of Boggy Creek: Construct 6 -lane freeway with frontage roads and grade separation at Technicenter Dr. • US 183(S) North of FM 969 to south of FM 969: Construct freeway main lanes and frontage roads Their efforts in the previous years have secured significant funding for highway improvements. This year's projects are critical components to the Capital Area's basic freeway system that provide increases in capacity, a decrease in congestion, and enhanced safety, which will benefit all of us living and working in Central Texas. Therefore, it is even more important this year that local solidarity is demonstrated. This resolution will show support from Round Rock concerning their request to Transportation Commission regarding these three projects. 1:e 0 ICIF II, From: Joanne Land Sent: March 04, 2002 10:31 AM To: Christine Martinez Subject: FW: Request for resolution of support Resolution of Support sample. r.,. agenda.
