DATE: January 19, 2001
SUBJECT: City Council Meeting—January 25, 2001
ITEM: 10.B.1. Consider a resolution authorizing the Parks and Recreation
Department Director to act as the City of Round Rock's agent in all
matters concerning the Brushy Creek Trail grant application of the
Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
Resource: Sharon Prete, Parks and Recreation Director
History: The Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan has called for the acquisition
of creek properties for the development of trails since the plan was originally
adopted in 1982. Through developer contributions and the donation by Mrs.
Freeman, the City has amassed approximately 65 linear acres along the south side
of Brushy Creek(see attachment) for the purpose of developing a trail and
providing passive recreation opportunities.
Precinct 4 Williamson county Commissioner, Frankie Limmer, wishes to
participate in this project by contributing $1 million for the development of the
trail system and other amenities.
Funding:
Cost: $1.5 million
Source of funds: $1 million is being contributed by Williamson County and
$500,000 would come from the Texas Parks and Wildlife
Department Parks and Recreation account. Note: No funding is
required of the City for this phase of the project.
Outside Resources: N/A
Impact: This joint venture places development cost on the County and State and only
O&M responsibility on the City.
Benefit: The citizens will benefit greatly from the development of approximately 2.5 miles
of trail.
Public Comment: Public Hearing to be held January 25, 2001
Sponsor: City and Williamson County.
