McNutt Creek 1
SERVICE PLAN
PROVIDING FOR EXTENSION OF FULL MUNICIPAL SERVICES TO
THE FOLLOWING AREA PROPOSED FOR ANNEXATION: 270
ACRES, MORE OR LESS, OUT OF THE ROBERT MCNUTT SURVEY,
ABSTRACT NUMBER 422, ALSO KNOWN AS THE BURGE-GORDON-
MADSEN ET AL. TRACT, AS SHOWN ON EXHIBIT "A" ATTACHED
HERETO (THE "PROPERTY").
The City of Round Rock, Texas proposes to annex the Property under Texas Local Government
Code, Subchapter C-1 entitled "Annexation Procedure for Areas Exempted from Municipal
Annexation Plan," Section 43.061 et seq.
The Property is predominantly undeveloped and is comprised primarily of agricultural uses, a
dozen rural residences, some floodplain, and a couple of business operations. The Property is
generally surrounded by single-family residential developments, with Settler's Crossing on the
west, the proposed Siena to the east across McNutt Creek, and the Proposed Paloma Lake MUD
on the north and west. Those properties abutting the Property that have not been platted are
larger -acreage rural residences surrounded by agricultural uses.
Section 43.065(a) requires the City "to prepare a service plan that provides for the extension of
full municipal services to the area to be annexed" and mandates that the City "shall provide the
services by any of the methods by which it extends the services to any other area of the
municipality." Section 43.065(b) states that provisions of Section 43.056(b) -(o) apply as to
required components of the service plan.
Required Components of the Service Plan
A. Section 43.056(b) requires that the service plan include a program under which the City
will provide full municipal services in the annexed area no later than 2 1/2 years after the
effective date of the annexation (unless certain services cannot reasonably be provided
within that period, under which circumstance the City may propose an extension for
provision to 4 1/2 years).
The City will provide full municipal services to the Property within the statutorily -
mandated 2 1/2 year period. The City's program is for provision of such services
within the mandated 21/2 year period. The City does not propose a schedule to extend
the period for providing any services.
Section 43.056(b) further requires that, if the City provides any of the following services
within its corporate boundaries before annexing the proposed tract, the City must provide
those services in the area proposed for annexation on the effective date of the annexation:
(1) police protection; (2) fire protection; (3) emergency medical services; (4) solid waste
collection; (5) operation and maintenance of water and wastewater facilities in the
annexed area that are not within the service area of another water or wastewater utility;
(6) operation and maintenance of roads and streets, including road and street lighting; (7)
1
operation and maintenance of parks, playgrounds, and swimming pools; and (8)
operation and maintenance of any other publicly owned facility, building, or service.
The City does currently provide the enumerated services within its corporate
boundaries, with the exception of emergency medical services which are provided by
Williamson County. Therefore, the City will provide the following services to the
Property on the effective date of the annexation:
(1) Police protection - To be provided immediately upon annexation;
(2) Fire protection - To be provided immediately upon annexation;
(3)
Emergency medical services Currently provided by Williamson County
Emergency Medical Services;
(4) Solid waste collection - Within its corporate boundaries, the City contracts with
Round Rock Refuse for residential collection only; therefore, for residential
properties this service will be provided immediately upon annexation whereas
any commercial ventures may continue to contract individually for solid waste
collection service;
(5)
Operation and maintenance of water and wastewater facilities - To be provided
immediately upon annexation. Existing water and wastewater facilities are
shown on Exhibit "B" and Exhibit "C;" this tract is also within the Jonah
Water Supply Corporation's CCN for water service; additional services will be
available in accordance with the City of Round Rock Subdivision Ordinance
platting requirements;
(6) Operation and maintenance of public roads and streets, including road and
street lighting — Immediately upon annexation, those portions of CR122
incorporated into the City will be maintained. Any CORR acceptance of
dedicated and improved rights-of-way in the future would be per the
Subdivision Ordinance;
(7)
Operation and maintenance of parks, playgrounds, and swimming pools - As
there are none of these facilities on the Property, operation and maintenance
of same is not at issue;
(8) Operation and maintenance of any other publicly owned facility, building, or
service - As there are none of these on the Property, operation and
maintenance of same is not at issue;
B. Section 43.056(c) requires the City to define "full municipal services" as services
provided by the City of Round Rock within its full -purpose boundaries, including water
and wastewater services and excluding gas or electrical service.
2
The City so defines `full municipal services."
C. Section 43.056(d) does not apply to the City.
D. Section 43.056(e) requires that the service plan include a program under which the City
will initiate after the effective date of the annexation the acquisition or construction of
capital improvements necessary for providing municipal services adequate to serve the
area.
The City has all capital improvements in place or under construction which are
necessary for providing municipal services adequate to serve the Property. No new
capital improvements will need to be acquired or constructed in order to provide
municipal services adequate to serve the Property.
E. Section 43.056(f) prohibits the service plan from requiring the creation of another
political subdivision, from requiring landowners in the area to fund capital improvements
necessary to provide services, and from providing services in the area in a manner that
would have the effect of reducing by more than a negligible amount the level of fire and
police protection and emergency medical services provided within the corporate
boundaries of the City before annexation.
The City will not require the creation of another political subdivision.
As there are no capital improvements necessary to provide services to the Property
under its current use, the City will not require landowners of the Property to fund
capital improvements. However, if and when the Property is developed, platted, or the
current use of the Property changes in the future, landowners may be required to fund
capital improvements in accordance with state law and City ordinances and
regulations.
The City is currently able to provide municipal services to the Property in a manner
that will not have the effect of reducing by more than a negligible amount the level of
fire and police protection and emergency medical services provided within the
corporate boundaries of the City.
F. Section 43.056(g) requires a determination of whether the area proposed for annexation
had a lower, equal, or higher level of services, infrastructure, and infrastructure
maintenance than the level of services, infrastructure, and infrastructure maintenance
provided within the corporate boundaries of the City before annexation.
Due to the current use of the Property, it has a lower level of services, infrastructure,
and infrastructure maintenance than the level of services, infrastructure, and
infrastructure maintenance provided within the corporate boundaries of the City
before annexation.
3
Section 43.056(g) further requires that the service plan provide the annexed area with a
level of services, infrastructure, and infrastructure maintenance that is comparable to the
level of services, infrastructure, and infrastructure maintenance available in other parts of
the City with topography, land use, and population density similar to those reasonably
contemplated or projected in the area.
The City will provide the Property with a level of services, infrastructure, and
infrastructure maintenance that is comparable to or greater than that which is
available to other parts of the City which share similar topography, similar land use,
and similar population density .
G. Section 43.056(h) does not apply to the City.
H. Section 43.056(i) does not apply to the City.
I. Section 43.056(j) requires that the proposed service plan be made available and
explained at public hearings, and allows such service plan to be amended through
negotiation at the hearings except that provision of any service may not be deleted.
The City will make its proposed service plan available at the public hearings scheduled
on September 14, 2006 and September 28, 2006. At such public hearing, comments
and requests for amendments to the service plan may be made. In response, the City
may or may not amend its proposed service plan; however, the City would not amend
the service plan for the deletion of any service.
J. Section 43.056(k) makes a Council-approved service plan a contractual obligation not
subject to amendment or repeal except in the case of changed conditions or subsequent
occurrences that make the service plan unworkable or obsolete; in such case, the
amended service plan must provide for services that are comparable to or better than
those established in the original service plan.
The City acknowledges that, upon approval by the City Council evidenced by
attachment to the ordinance annexing the Property, the service plan is a contractual
obligation not subject to amendment or repeal except under the statutory conditions
contained in Section 43.056(k).
K. Section 43.056(1) establishes that a service plan is valid for 10 years and may be renewed
at the discretion of the City. Section 43.056(1) further gives a person residing or owning
land within the annexed area the right to enforce a service plan by applying for a writ of
mandamus within specified time frames and, if such writ is issued, provides certain
possible remedies including disannexation, specific performance in terms of compliance,
refund by the City of money collected from landowners for services not provided,
assessment of civil penalties against the City, required participation in mediation, and
required payment of landowners' costs and reasonable attorney's fees in bringing the
action for writ.
4
The City acknowledges that it is subject to the statutory requirements of Section
43.056(1).
L. Section 43.056(m) establishes that the governing statutes do not require that a uniform
level of full municipal services be provided to each area of the municipality if different
characteristics of topography, land use, and population density constitute a sufficient
basis for providing different levels of service.
The City acknowledges that a uniform level of full municipal services is not required to
be provided to an area of the City which, by reason of its different characteristics of
topography, land use, and population density, provides a sufficient basis for the City to
provide different levels of service.
The City will comply with requirements that municipal services be provided to the
Property which are adequate to serve the Property with a level of services,
infrastructure, and infrastructure maintenance that is comparable to or greater than
that which is available to other parts of the City which share similar topography,
similar land use, and similar population density, which is in accord with relatively
uninhabited undeveloped land and small acreage residential development.
M. Section 43.056(n) directs that the City may not, within certain time frames, prohibit the
collection of solid waste in the annexed area by a privately owned solid waste
management service provider or impose a fee for solid waste management services on a
person who continues to use the services of a privately owned solid waste management
service provider.
The City acknowledges that it is subject to the requirements of Section 43.056(n).
N. Section 43.056(o) states that the City is not required to provide solid waste collection
services to a person who continues to use the services of a privately owned solid waste
management service provider.
The City acknowledges that it is subject to the requirements of Section 43.056(o).

SERVICE PLAN
PROVIDING FOR EXTENSION OF FULL MUNICIPAL SERVICES TO
THE FOLLOWING AREA PROPOSED FOR ANNEXATION: 270
ACRES, MORE OR LESS, OUT OF THE ROBERT MCNUTT SURVEY,
ABSTRACT NUMBER 422, ALSO KNOWN AS THE BURGE-GORDON-
MADSEN ET AL. TRACT, AS SHOWN ON EXHIBIT "A" ATTACHED
HERETO (THE "PROPERTY").
The City of Round Rock, Texas proposes to annex the Property under Texas Local Government
Code, Subchapter C-1 entitled "Annexation Procedure for Areas Exempted from Municipal
Annexation Plan," Section 43.061 et seq.
The Property is predominantly undeveloped and is comprised primarily of agricultural uses, a
dozen rural residences, some floodplain, and a couple of business operations. The Property is
generally surrounded by single-family residential developments, with Settler's Crossing on the
west, the proposed Siena to the east across McNutt Creek, and the Proposed Paloma Lake MUD
on the north and west. Those properties abutting the Property that have not been platted are
larger -acreage rural residences surrounded by agricultural uses.
Section 43.065(a) requires the City "to prepare a service plan that provides for the extension of
full municipal services to the area to be annexed" and mandates that the City "shall provide the
services by any of the methods by which it extends the services to any other area of the
municipality." Section 43.065(b) states that provisions of Section 43.056(b) -(o) apply as to
required components of the service plan.
Required Components of the Service Plan
A. Section 43.056(b) requires that the service plan include a program under which the City
will provide full municipal services in the annexed area no later than 2 1/2 years after the
effective date of the annexation (unless certain services cannot reasonably be provided
within that period, under which circumstance the City may propose an extension for
provision to 4 1/2 years).
The City will provide full municipal services to the Property within the statutorily -
mandated 2 1/2 year period The City's program is for provision of such services
within the mandated 21/2 year period The City does not propose a schedule to extend
the period for providing any services.
Section 43.056(b) further requires that, if the City provides any of the following services
within its corporate boundaries before annexing the proposed tract, the City must provide
those services in the area proposed for annexation on the effective date of the annexation:
(1) police protection; (2) fire protection; (3) emergency medical services; (4) solid waste
collection; (5) operation and maintenance of water and wastewater facilities in the
annexed area that are not within the service area of another water or wastewater utility;
(6) operation and maintenance of roads and streets, including road and street lighting; (7)
1
operation and maintenance of parks, playgrounds, and swimming pools; and (8)
operation and maintenance of any other publicly owned facility, building, or service.
The City does currently provide the enumerated services within its corporate
boundaries, with the exception of emergency medical services which are provided by
Williamson County. Therefore, the City will provide the following services to the
Property on the effective date of the annexation:
Police protection - To be provided immediately upon annexation;
Fire protection - To be provided immediately upon annexation;
Emergency medical services - Currently provided by Williamson County
Emergency Medical Services;
(4) Solid waste collection - Within its corporate boundaries, the City contracts with
Round Rock Refuse for residential collection only; therefore, for residential
properties this service will be provided immediately upon annexation whereas
any commercial ventures may continue to contract individually for solid waste
collection service;
(5)
Operation and maintenance of water and wastewater facilities - To be provided
immediately upon annexation. Existing water and wastewater facilities are
shown on Exhibit "B" and Exhibit "C;" this tract is also within the Jonah
Water Supply Corporation's CCN for water service; additional services will be
available in accordance with the City of Round Rock Subdivision Ordinance
platting requirements;
(6) Operation and maintenance of public roads and streets, including road and
street lighting — Immediately upon annexation, those portions of CR122
incorporated into the City will be maintained Any CORR acceptance of
dedicated and improved rights-of-way in the future would be per the
Subdivision Ordinance;
(7)
Operation and maintenance of parks, playgrounds, and swimming pools - As
there are none of these facilities on the Property, operation and maintenance
of same is not at issue;
(8) Operation and maintenance of any other publicly owned facility, building, or
service - As there are none of these on the Property, operation and
maintenance of same is not at issue;
B. Section 43.056(c) requires the City to define "full municipal services" as services
provided by the City of Round Rock within its full -purpose boundaries, including water
and wastewater services and excluding gas or electrical service.
2
The City so defines `full municipal services."
C. Section 43.056(d) does not apply to the City.
D. Section 43.056(e) requires that the service plan include a program under which the City
will initiate after the effective date of the annexation the acquisition or construction of
capital improvements necessary for providing municipal services adequate to serve the
area.
The City has all capital improvements in place or under construction which are
necessary for providing municipal services adequate to serve the Property. No new
capital improvements will need to be acquired or constructed in order to provide
municipal services adequate to serve the Property.
E. Section 43.056(0 prohibits the service plan from requiring the creation of another
political subdivision, from requiring landowners in the area to fund capital improvements
necessary to provide services, and from providing services in the area in a manner that
would have the effect of reducing by more than a negligible amount the level of fire and
police protection and emergency medical services provided within the corporate
boundaries of the City before annexation.
The City will not require the creation of another political subdivision.
As there are no capital improvements necessary to provide services to the Property
under its current use, the City will not require landowners of the Property to fund
capital improvements. However, if and when the Property is developed, platted, or the
current use of the Property changes in the future, landowners may be required to fund
capital improvements in accordance with state law and City ordinances and
regulations.
The City is currently able to provide municipal services to the Property in a manner
that will not have the effect of reducing by more than a negligible amount the level of
fire and police protection and emergency medical services provided within the
corporate boundaries of the City.
F. Section 43.056(g) requires a determination of whether the area proposed for annexation
had a lower, equal, or higher level of services, infrastructure, and infrastructure
maintenance than the level of services, infrastructure, and infrastructure maintenance
provided within the corporate boundaries of the City before annexation.
Due to the current use of the Property, it has a lower level of services, infrastructure,
and infrastructure maintenance than the level of services, infrastructure, and
infrastructure maintenance provided within the corporate boundaries of the City
before annexation.
3
Section 43.056(g) further requires that the service plan provide the annexed area with a
level of services, infrastructure, and infrastructure maintenance that is comparable to the
level of services, infrastructure, and infrastructure maintenance available in other parts of
the City with topography, land use, and population density similar to those reasonably
contemplated or projected in the area.
The City will provide the Property with a level of services, infrastructure, and
infrastructure maintenance that is comparable to or greater than that which is
available to other parts of the City which share similar topography, similar land use,
and similar population density .
G. Section 43.056(h) does not apply to the City.
H. Section 43.056(i) does not apply to the City.
I. Section 43.056(j) requires that the proposed service plan be made available and
explained at public hearings, and allows such service plan to be amended through
negotiation at the hearings except that provision of any service may not be deleted.
The City will make its proposed service plan available at the public hearings scheduled
on September 14, 2006 and September 28, 2006. At such public hearing, comments
and requests for amendments to the service plan may be made. In response, the City
may or may not amend its proposed service plan; however, the City would not amend
the service plan for the deletion of any service.
J. Section 43.056(k) makes a Council -approved service plan a contractual obligation not
subject to amendment or repeal except in the case of changed conditions or subsequent
occurrences that make the service plan unworkable or obsolete; in such case, the
amended service plan must provide for services that are comparable to or better than
those established in the original service plan.
The City acknowledges that, upon approval by the City Council evidenced by
attachment to the ordinance annexing the Property, the service plan is a contractual
obligation not subject to amendment or repeal except under the statutory conditions
contained in Section 43.056(k).
K. Section 43.056(1) establishes that a service plan is valid for 10 years and may be renewed
at the discretion of the City. Section 43.056(1) further gives a person residing or owning
land within the annexed area the right to enforce a service plan by applying for a writ of
mandamus within specified time frames and, if such writ is issued, provides certain
possible remedies including disannexation, specific performance in terms of compliance,
refund by the City of money collected from landowners for services not provided,
assessment of civil penalties against the City, required participation in mediation, and
required payment of landowners' costs and reasonable attorney's fees in bringing the
action for writ.
4
The City acknowledges that it is subject to the statutory requirements of Section
43.056(1).
L. Section 43.056(m) establishes that the governing statutes do not require that a uniform
level of full municipal services be provided to each area of the municipality if different
characteristics of topography, land use, and population density constitute a sufficient
basis for providing different levels of service.
The City acknowledges that a uniform level of full municipal services is not required to
be provided to an area of the City which, by reason of its different characteristics of
topography, land use, and population density, provides a sufficient basis for the City to
provide different levels of service.
The City will comply with requirements that municipal services be provided to the
Property which are adequate to serve the Property with a level of services,
infrastructure, and infrastructure maintenance that is comparable to or greater than
that which is available to other parts of the City which share similar topography,
similar land use, and similar population density, which is in accord with relatively
uninhabited undeveloped land and small acreage residential development.
M. Section 43.056(n) directs that the City may not, within certain time frames, prohibit the
collection of solid waste in the annexed area by a privately owned solid waste
management service provider or impose a fee for solid waste management services on a
person who continues to use the services of a privately owned solid waste management
service provider.
The City acknowledges that it is subject to the requirements of Section 43.056(n).
•
N. Section 43.056(o) states that the City is not required to provide solid waste collection
services to a person who continues to use the services of a privately owned solid waste
management service provider.
The City acknowledges that it is subject to the requirements of Section 43.056(o).
