Re: Juvenile Accountability Block
Grants
Dear Stan,
Thank you for assisting in the application for funds for a part -time
juvenile court master for Williamson County, it appears the Juvenile
Court Master will benefit Round Rock in many ways. It is our hope
the Court Master will expedite detention hearings, adjudications and
dispositions. With faster turn around in cases it should relieve some
of the crowded conditions we now experience.
It will require a resolution on the part of the City Council as well as a
letter designating the funds from your city to the Williamson County
Juvenile Services Department. I have attached a model for your
use.

Dear Mayor Culpepper:
The City of Round Rock had previously turned down a Block Grant for $8,000. It is our desire
to have these funds allotted to the Williamson County Juvenile Services Department. This
combined effort would allow for a juvenile court master that would definitely benefit the City of
Round Rock.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Joanne Land
