Enclosed please find a proposed contract to provide
fire protection services between the Meadows at Chandler.
Creek Municipal Utility District and the City of Round Rock.
This contract should parallel with the language found in the
original consent agreement between the City and the MUD.
As you remember, the water code provides (Section
50.055 - enclosed) that the Water Commission must give its
blessing to any fire plan before it may be implemented. The
language of this contract is identical to that originally
agreed to; however, it does provide that it will be
effective only upon approval by the Texas Water Commission
and the voters in the District, all as required by Section
50.055.
Please review the contract and let me know if you have
any comments or suggestions. If it is satisfactory, please
have it placed on the agenda for the council's approval. Of
course, it would only be effective at the time provided in
the statute.

RE: Fire Plan and Fire Protection Agreement
The purpose of this letter is to notify you, as the listed representative of The
Meadows at Chandler Creek Home Owners Association, of a recent decision
by the Williamson County Emergency Services District #9 (ESD) Board of
Commissioners, that the Round Rock Fire Department will be the fire
protection provider in The Meadows at Chandler Creek under contract with
the ESD.
The effective date of the interlocal agreement between ESD #9 and the City
of Round Rock has yet to be determined; however, I have notified your MUD
representatives by letter that in order for the residents of The Meadows at
Chandler Creek to avoid paying the City and the ESD for fire protection after
the effective date of the interlocal agreement, The Meadows at Chandler
Creek Municipal Utility Services District should, as soon as practical, have a
letter on file with the City Secretary, Christine Martinez, asking that the
existing Fire Protection Agreement between the City of Round Rock and The

passed by the Round Rock City Council on January 23, 1986, Resolution
#818R, be declared invalid upon the effective date of the interlocal
agreement between the City and the ESD.
Currently, The Meadows at Chandler Creek residents are paying the City of
Round Rock for fire protection pursuant to the existing contract and paying
taxes to the ESD for fire protection. Your questions regarding a double
payment for fire protection to the ESD should be addressed to Alan Forester,
President, Williamson County Emergency Services No.9, 402A West Palm

The purpose of this letter is to inform you, as President of Williamson County
MUD 9, of a recent decision by the Williamson County Emergency Services
District #9 (ESD) Board of Commissioners that the Sam Bass Volunteer Fire
Department (Sam Bass) has been chosen as the primary provider for fire and
first responder emergency medical responses in Vista Oaks. The ESD has
asked the Round Rock Fire Department to respond with Sam Bass to
structure fires in Vista Oaks under contract with the ESD.
The effective date of the interlocal agreement between the ESD, Sam Bass
and the City of Round Rock has yet to be determined; however, to avoid
paying the City and the ESD for fire protection after the effective date of the
interlocal agreement, Williamson County MUD 9 should, as soon as practical,
have a letter on file with the City Secretary, Christine Martinez, asking that
the existing Fire Protection Agreement between the City of Round Rock and
Williamson County MUD 9 be declared invalid upon the effective date of the
interlocal agreement between the City, Sam Bass and the ESD.
Currently, MUD 9 residents are paying the City of Round Rock for fire
protection pursuant to the existing contract read, passed, and adopted by the
Round Rock City Council on January 22, 1987 (ordinance #2269) and paying
taxes to the ESD for fire protection. Your questions regarding a double
payment for fire protection to the ESD should be addressed to Alan Forester,
President, Williamson County Emergency Services No.9, 402A West Palm
Valley Boulevard, Suite PMB371, Round Rock, Texas 78664.
