City leadership developed a process to receive and evaluate funding requests from social services
agencies. This process was followed by a seven member team of Councilmembers and City staff to
review the agency applications and make funding recommendations. The recommendations are
made utilizing criteria outlined in the application. The agency's project must meet a municipal public
purpose and must benefit an acceptable number of Round Rock citizens. Funded agencies are
