Council Member Lee.

While Council Member Lee is coming down, I just want to say what an honor it is to be able to come do this each year. And it's an honor because I'm watching the way that you're running a government in operating a government and working a government, and it's a pleasure to see how it can operate when you're working together for a common goal. It doesn't mean you always agree, but when I see you disagree, you're disagreeing in search of a better solution, and that's the way it's supposed to be. You're not disagreeing for fame and fortune, you're disagreeing because you really are interested in what this city does and what it accomplishes in the citizens. So that's why it's always an honor to come do this, and I appreciate the opportunity to do that.

Well, thank you.

Okay, so do we have a Bible? Yep. The left hand on the Bible. Right hand, I'll tell you what, the switch side. No, bring her over here. There we go. That'll make it even easier. Okay. I, Michelle Lee, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the duties of the Office of Councilmember Place 1 for the City of Round Rock and the State of Texas and will to the best of my ability preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States and of this state. So help me God.

All right. As you're taking pictures, Michelle and your daughter, if you'll hang on, Mayor Pro Tem Stevens will be presenting you some gifts from council and administration. I think the flowers are bigger than your daughter.

Amanda, if you'll hang around. Amanda, Amanda. You get some flowers as well. Awesome.

All right. I'm going to let each council member have an opportunity to just say a few words. So I'll start with Council Member Lee.

I just want to say thank you to my family, first and foremost. And Eric couldn't be here because he was not feeling well. But I do thank my family for their support, for allowing me to do this. It takes away from family time and work. but they support me 100%. And thank you to Round Rock, my community, for entrusting me in doing this. I do not take it lightly, and I'm very proud to serve up here. Thank you to this council. We all work really well together, even when we disagree. It's kind of fun sometimes when we don't agree on things. And just thank you to the city. I am very proud to be from Round Rock, and I am proud to continue to serve Round Rock. Thank you.

Thank you.

Council Member Ortega? First, I want to say thank you to my wife, to the city of Round Rock administration and the departments, and to thank you for the support in my elections to the Round Rock City Council. Your vote means a lot to me, and I'm committed to representing our community with dedication and integrity. Together, we can make Round Rock an even better place to live. So thank you all.

Let me just begin by thanking my Lord Jesus Christ and Savior. You know, it's been some tough years, but with him, you know, all things can be accomplished. I want to thank all the citizens of Round Rock that came out and voted in this election. You know, we just had Memorial Day this past Monday, and I think and I believe firmly that the greatest right we have as Americans is to go to the ballot box and vote. And sometimes it's not fun to see how low the turnout is. But I do want to thank all the citizens that did vote for me. I want to thank my consultant. I want to thank all my friends. My best friend couldn't be here. But he's always been by my side. I see several of the gentlemen back behind at the back that have been by my side since day one on this. I just want to thank them. I want to thank my coworkers. It takes away from my office time and they fill in and I wouldn't be able to do it if I didn't have them. I want to thank all of you up here as my fellow council members. I know where y'all's heart is. And I know sometimes we get beat up, but I know what each and every one of you do up here, and I know that you have a love and passion for this city. I want to thank Brooks and all the city staff, all the department heads. It makes our job so much easier to have a world-class staff, and I will put this staff, I've said it a hundred times, I will put this staff against anybody in the country. And so I appreciate you. I appreciate all the department heads that are here and the ones that aren't and all 1,100, 1,200 employees that maybe I don't get to see as regular. I'd be remiss if I didn't thank my parents. I wish my dad could have been here, but he couldn't. And I know he would have been proud. I want to thank my mother-in-law and all she does for me. And last but not least for sure, I want to thank my beautiful wife, who's my heart, my soul, the backbone of me. And she sacrificed, this is my 15th year, and she's been by my side every day sacrificing. And I just want to say thank you and that I love you, sweetie. This election was like none other, but I'm happy our citizens did not listen to the noise from people that do not live here and have no other interest in Round Rock except to cause chaos and instead entrust this elected council to implement policy and support of all our departments to ensure we are providing the high-value services that our citizens demand of us. As I stated back when all this began, we are a city that is strong, and we will continue to support all our departments within the constraints set by the state to ensure each department has the tools needed to be successful on behalf of the people of Round Rock. And in closing, Round Rock is a special place because of its people, and it is an honor to serve this community. I know I will not always get everything right, and I will make mistakes along the way, as I've done. But I promise our citizens, our staff, and my fellow council members that I will listen, learn, and work hard every day to serve with humility and do my best to be worthy of the trust you have placed in me. Thank you. All right, we'll take a quick five-minute recess so we can take pictures and then let family exit. Citizen communication, any citizen wish to speak during citizen communication, guard an item on or off the agenda may do so after completing the required registration card. All comments must be no more than three minutes in length per section 2-26. B-5 of the Round Rock Code of Ordinances, 2018 edition, any comments regarding items not on the posted agenda may not be discussed or responded to by the City Council per state law. I have one yellow card. Good citizen. Come on up. And thank you for y'all's patience. Yeah, right here.

Just right there. Yeah, there you go. I'm here today because I know the whole data center thing has been a huge issue. And I got a friend who's deployed right now. We were both in the 82nd, and he couldn't be up here to speak before, so I'm here to, you know, now you can't answer questions or nothing like that, but, you know, I really question the 7-0 vote and wondering how much research was done by each individual, and was it just listening to the guy who wants to put it in, right? It was unbiased information that you were getting. That's my concern. I live maybe two miles from there, if that. And I know there were 3,000 people who signed a petition not to do it, and it was voted against what we wanted. And I just want to bring it up and let you guys know, look, it's still an ongoing issue. A lot of people still don't want to go to rest. I have a big, we had a nonprofit here locally before, all this expensive stuff happening. But there's a huge veteran community here. Not a lot of people, none of them, at least I know, want a data center that's nearby. We do have a lot of other issues going on. And that's just one of the things that we didn't think we would have to worry about. And now we do. So on top of that, what we've seen across the United States is things with water going on. I mean, you take a look at Georgia. There's our power grid, right? How is it actually going to affect our power grid? I know we have like a few. I know we had the fire at Sabie and what happened to the firefighters. But do we have any evidence to even show, hey, this may or may not rise costs on electricity? I know ERCOT has to deal with all that. But there was no assurance on, hey, we actually have data to back up that this won't bring up electricity prices. This will change water prices, stuff like that. I just want you to know, keep that in mind. I'd like to see more regulation on these data centers if we're going to do anything else, because this, I'm planning on leaving just because I'm not going to be a Ford once things start changing. But thank you.

John, first of all, let me just say, like I said, you can't talk about it, but I just want to thank you for your service to our country. I would love for you to email my Mayor's Council email. I've received four or five emails, and no one will meet with me in person. That is emailing me. And so if you'll email me, we'll set a meeting, and I'll be glad to visit with you and kind of visit with the data and where we came from, and I'd love to hear your side. All right, thank you. All right, anybody else wishing to speak? All right. Consent agenda. All items listed under the consent agenda are considered to be routine by the city council and will be enacted by one motion. There will be no separate discussion of these items unless requested by a council member. In which event, the item will be removed from the consent agenda and considered separately.

Council Member Lee. Yes. Council Member Flores.

Yes.

Council Member Fleming. Yes. Council Member Ortega.

Yes.

Mayor Pro Tem Stevens. Yes. Council Member Montgomery. Yes. Mayor Morgan.

Yes. Resolutions G1. Consider resolution authorizing the City Manager to issue a purchase order to Siddons Mart and Emergency Group LLC for the purchase of a fire pumper apparatus. Chief. Chief.

Good evening, Mayor and Council. Good evening. This program is a request to purchase of a pure Sabre pumper for cost of $939,950. This program is getting rid of our current squad program. I know earlier this year at strategic planning we talked about how I would no longer ask for a squad with a pump and water on it because, one, it creates too many difficulties for us to try to program it into our response model. Myself and the two assistant chiefs in the back have been working over the last several months trying to plug in our current squads with station locations, our current apparatus we have, and in today's world with what we have on the street, we have to classified as an engine so that will actually get dispatched to car fires and dumpster fires and structure fires. The main difference between what we have today as a squad and this pumper is the amount of equipment that it can carry and get our firefighters to the scene with all the equipment they need if it's the first and only arriving apparatus. With this program as well, we're trading in two vehicles and we're not going to take delivery of a squad that's currently being built. I'll be happy to answer any questions.

Questions? Council Member Fleming.

So with this truck, you're going to have more capabilities on the truck, which will allow you to go to more calls, which is the goal. Is that what I'm understanding? Yeah. Or is there less equipment on this?

So there's more equipment on it. So it makes it more suitable for every incident versus more in line with just medicals.

Okay.

The future of what we see for the future for the city of Round Rock and the squad program is more of an SUV and a Tahoe so that we don't have the confusion of can I fight this fire or not, whereas specifically for medicals. Got it.

Okay.

Thank you. Yes, ma'am.

Any other questions? Oh, Mayor Pro Tem.

Does this one have a house? Does it have a place where it's going to be already?

It's going to go to Station 2 and replace the squad that was there.

Over there. Okay. Thank you.

Any other questions? Entertain motion to adopt the resolution.

So moved. Second.

Motion made by the mayor pro tem, seconded by Councilman Fleming. Any other discussion? And please, public council.

Council Member Flores?

Yes.

Council Member Fleming? Yes. Council Member Ortega?

Yes.

Mayor Pro Tem Stevens? Yes. Council Member Montgomery? Yes. Council Member Lee? Yes. Mayor Morgan?

Yes. Thank you, Chief, and good job today, earlier. G2, consider resolution authorizing Mayor to execute change order number one, the agreement with Spa Glass Contractors, Inc., for the Old Cellars Build Out Project Rec Center. Corey?

Good evening, Mayor and Council. Good evening. As part of the construction manager at risk agreement between City of Round Rock and Small Glass Contractors, savings during the execution of construction are returned to the owner. This resolution is approved for the amount of $990,710. to be unallocated from the construction via change order number one. The total amount of this charge order is the result of buyout savings and unused funds from a tax tariff contingency plan that we had built into it. And it's resulting from package 3C APC, GMP number two. And I would be happy to answer any questions.

Any questions? Do you entertain a motion to stop the resolution? So moved. Second. Motion made by Council Member Flores. Second by Council Member Ortega. Any other discussion? And please, public counsel.

Council Member Fleming. Yes. Council Member Ortega.

Yes.

Mayor Pro Tem Stevens. Yes. Council Member Montgomery. Yes. Council Member Lee. Yes. Council Member Flores.

Yes.

Mayor Morgan.

Yes. Cheat 3, consider resolution authorizing Mayor to execute change order number 2 to the agreement with Hensel Phelps Construction Company for the construction of the Bob Bennett Complex Phases 2, 3, and 4 project.

As part of the Construction Manager at Risk Agreement between the City of Round Rock and Henselfeld Construction Company, savings during the execution of construction are returned back to the owner, just as the previous one. This resolution for approval is for the amount of $1,104,720, and to be allocated from construction via contract change order number two. And I'd be happy to answer any questions.

Questions on that? Always good when we save money.

I mean, it's a good thing when I get to do that.

Yeah, I'm telling you. First official meeting, you're saving us money.

It's all downhill after that, right?

Yeah. All right. Any questions? I entertain a motion to adopt that resolution. So moved.

Second.

Motion made by Council Member Ortega, seconded by the Mayor Pro Tem. Any other discussion? And please poll the council.

Council Member Ortega?

Yes.

Mayor Pro Tem Stevens? Yes. Council Member Montgomery? Yes. Council Member Lee? Yes. Council Member Flores? Yes. Council Member Fleming? Yes. Mayor Morgan?

Yes. G4, consider a resolution to determine that John King Construction LTD provides the best value for the city for the fire station number 11 project and authorize the mayor to execute a standard form of agreement.

Yes, for Fire Station 11, and I didn't touch on it, and I appreciate the city manager up there who touched on it. This is our final project from the 2023 bond public safety projects. With approval tonight, this will be the last project that will be underway under construction. So the voters voted for it, and so the city is going to deliver. So this resolution is for approval for John King Construction to provide the best value for the City of Fire Station No. 11 construction. Competitive seal proposal is the method of construction that allows the City of Round Rock to hire a contractor based off of qualifications, low bid, equaling the best value. The cost for Fire Station 11 is $10,507,372. I'll say that Fire Station 11 received 11 qualified proposers. John King, after scoring and ranking by a selection committee, was found to be the best value. John King has constructed multiple projects within the city, Rab House, Kenningham, Fire Station No. 1, and most recently, Sports Center Expansion. proving themselves to be a capable contractor providing excellent construction services. Staff recommends approval. We'll go to the scoring summary. Let's talk about CSP real quick. Delivery methods, CSP or best values determined by the contractor's company information, past project performances, staff experience, number of staff for the project, subcontractor experience is taken into account, proposal submitted, and proposal amount. We use the 60-40 method, 60% qualifications and 40% cost is factored in. So if you see on the screen right now, this is the final scoring summary from our scoring committee. We usually take the top three in an interview, but three and four were so close that we decided to do four interviews on it, and this is the result with the interviews for the final scoring summary. Next slide, just to orientate you where it's at. We got AW Grimes up top, and then you've got University down here. We're sitting on the corner right next to Seton. This is the land that we had purchased from Seton last year. Next slide. Here is a good view of it. Let's talk about real quick highlight changes from Fire Station 10 to Fire Station 11. We'll notice there's an increase of about 1,400 square foot. The driver of that is the police department's north satellite office will be located. And I'll get to a floor plan, but it's on the right-hand side right here after this little retaining wall. Private entry, separate entry, so it includes bathrooms and kitchenettes. There will be cubicles and workstations and conference tables. Interior and exterior cameras with card readers to gain access to the door and a parking lot. And we also did a larger generator. The load increased for when we went from one or actually from 10 to 11, the load increased on the emergency side of the power, so we've increased the generator on that. So this is for the mayor. Mayor, we did include windows for PD right there for you.

I just didn't know.

I didn't either. So those windows are for privacy only. They're about 7 foot 4 inches to the bottom of the window, so that lets them light in and privacy for PD. And Councilman Fleming, this is promised the floor plan right here. So nothing's changed from 10 to 11, really, other than this little section over here. And that's where the satellite office will go. I do have JD King, president of John King, in the back off to my right there. He'd be happy to answer any questions. And so we anticipated for approval tonight that we'll start June 26th, June this year, and we'll finish, looking to finish about November of 27. So with that, I'd be happy to answer any questions.

All right. Any questions? Council Member Montgomery.

Thank you. Corey, can you share who was involved in the interview process or what departments were involved in the interview process?

Absolutely. So I was on the committee. We tend to have a couple general services. We had the project manager, myself. Then we had fire representative there. And then the architectural, McKinney York, had a representative in there. And we also had an outside entity utilities department provided one person for that.

Yes, ma'am. Mayor Pro Tem.

Can you go back to the rendering, like a slide or two ago? The other one? Go back one more. Is it just because of the drawing that the doors are opening like French doors, like double doors instead of rollers, or did we change something?

So we made that change on Fire Station 1. Okay. We went from roll-up standard doors to the accordion-style doors. Okay. The data there has been these are much more maintenance-friendly, and they last a lot longer. There's not a lot of moving parts and pieces, believe it or not. With the roll-up doors, we're always constantly chasing springs, and it's a maintenance nightmare on those roll-up doors. Okay, perfect.

Thank you.

Yes, ma'am.

Any other questions? I'll entertain a motion to adopt the resolution.

So moved.

Motion made by the Mayor Pro Tem, second by Council Member Montgomery, I mean Council Member Fleming, Montgomery, both of you. Any questions? Discussions? And please pull the council.

Mayor Pro Tem Stevens? Yes. Council Member Montgomery? Yes. Council Member Lee? Yes. Council Member Flores?

Yes.

Council Member Fleming? Yes. Council Member Ortega?

Yes.

Mayor Morgan?

Yes. Thank you all for being here and thank you for your patience. G5, consider a resolution authorizing the mayor to execute a supplemental contract number two with Plumber Associates, Inc. for the Brushy Creek East Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant expansion to 40 million gallons per day project.

Good evening, Mayor and Council. Good evening. This is an item for funding for our next expansion to the regional wastewater plant. As you see here on the picture, this is our east plant. It's a regional plant owned by Austin, Cedar Park, Leander, and Round Rock. We are currently under construction for a 30 million gallon expansion. The item before you is for our next 10 MGD expansion. That's the area that's surrounded in yellow here. We'll be adding another 10 MGD train. We plan to go out to bid on this one next spring. But the item before you is for some funding from the Texas Water Development Board Clean Water State Revolving Fund. The city of Round Rock is asking for $60 million from that fund. And with that, that's not the total cost of the project. We will get this amount of money, and then we'll try to pay cash for the remaining. This expansion is just going to be 10% City of Austin, 90% City of Round Rock. So this item before you is for the funding for Round Rock's portion. Plummer is the design engineer on this expansion, and they have been assisting us with all the paperwork that's required for applying for state money. There's a $124,000 supplemental that we're asking you to approve tonight to help us get through all the paperwork for that funding. So in attendance tonight, we have Cheryl Chia and Aaron Waters with Plummer. And we also have Audrey Nobles, who's our project manager here for our department. I'd be happy to answer any questions regarding this funding request for our wastewater plant.

All right. Any questions on this? Council Member Montgomery?

So, Michael, thank you. I presume that since we're submitting the request for the grant now and we won't go out for proposals until next year, there's no time limit on... the receipt of the grant money or there's no window that has to be done within.

We have already been approved for $60 million. And then there's a lot of documents and information we have to submit to the Water Development Board. So we were submitting them now. They have to review our engineering report, environmental report, plans and specs. That'll all occur over the rest of this year. And then they'll close on the money. I think it's in November that the Water Development Board's going to close on that money. So it should all be ready to go come January, February, spring of next year when we're ready to go out to bid.

Any other questions? I'm going to take a motion to adopt the resolution. So moved.

Second.

Motion made by Council Member Ortega. Second by Council Member Lee. Any other discussion? And please poll the council.

Council Member Montgomery. Yes. Council Member Lee. Yes. Council Member Flores.

Yes.

Council Member Fleming. Yes. Council Member Ortega.

Yes.

Mayor Pro Tem Stevens. Yes. Mayor Morgan.

Yes. Thank you all for being here and thank you for your patience. G6, consider a presentation regarding and a resolution approving the semi-annual report for the capital improvements plan and roadway impact fees from the Capital Improvements Advisory Committee. Cheryl?

Good evening, Mayor, Council. I'm not going to tell you anything new. This has been going on since, what, 2019 now, so... It's a good update. We met with the CIAC back on May the 6th and gave them our semiannual presentation. Ultimately, we have their approval letter, and we'll be looking for your approval tonight as well. is kind of what I'm going to talk about for a few minutes, give you a quick overview as far as our roadway impact fees, the collection, and then our administrative review. One of the things I wanted to mention tonight, I hadn't done this in a little while, but back in 2019, Round Rock was on the leading edge of the roadway impact fee I'll say structure of building that from what the state was allowing. There were very few adopters at that time. There are many more adopters as we stand here tonight now. It's become a pretty standard practice, especially when you look up and down the I-35 corridor. I mean, Austin's on board, Leander's got a program, Hutto, Taylor, New Braunfels, Seguin, Waco, just on and on. And there are a number of more cities in our area that are studying it and developing their own programs now. As I mentioned, we started in 2019. We did our five-year update in 2023. Nothing outstanding about that. We are in our fourth phase now, which is our final phase. So everything's in place as it should be. On our collection rates, as I just mentioned, we're in phase four. Depending on your plat date, you may be phase one rates, phase two, phase three, or phase four. We talk about trying to have development help pay for development. This kind of shows that We are definitely working that direction. Anything that we're collecting through our roadway impact fee program, we're not having to add that into the general fund. This is our roadway impact fee service areas. Y'all are familiar with those. We had to split into four areas this past year because, well, we initially started with three, but as we picked up the Briggs property up in the far northeast, you can see on this map, Started to stretch out our Area, you can't have more than a six mile limit in each particular area. So that made us break into four We're for now round rock should always be for based on our based on our size of our etj These are our collections for the past six months and then from inception we were just under two million for the last six months and we're almost at 18 million for the program since inception. We always throw this one in here just to remind folks that there are ways to have offsets to the roadway impact fees. We work with developers a number of different ways. You know, an easy one, I guess, is to say that, you know, a lot of times if there's a right-of-way dedication or if they actually build a piece of our roadway that is in the study that we have right now that we did in 2024, those are reimbursable-type events. As far as distributions... We are up to $9 million now between the four different service areas. So we spent just about half of what we've collected. This is an example of which projects have had money applied to them from the roadway impact fees. It doesn't mean it's funding the entire project. It just means it's funding a portion of it. Service Area A over on the west side, you know, Wyoming Springs, Chisholm Trail. I mean, a number of different projects. A number of our bigger arterials were definitely helped fund through the roadway impact fee program. This is service area C and service area D. And there's a little line at the bottom of each one where it shows you the balance we have for each one of those areas. So there's money there to keep easing them along a little bit. As far as administrative review, just to let everybody know, we still follow Section 395.052, Texas Local Government Code. As far as the five-year update, we're looking at by November of 2028. We are actually looking at starting the process in 2027, so we'll be in good shape for that particular update. And there's nothing in particular that I can say that we have any particular issues with. So with that, I'll say that the CIAC, we have their recommendation letter. And I'm sorry, I went too far. If there's any questions, I'll be happy to take them.

All right. Any questions for Gerald? Yeah, and back to your point about being one of the first in other cities waiting, I think one thing that we did very well is that the development community was at the table the whole time helping us kind of go through that phase. And I think that, I don't know who all was up here in 2019, maybe just three of us, right? Were you up here, Mayor Pro Tem? I knew you. We split a lot apart. Yeah. So anyway, appreciate all the work that you all do. And I mean, it's an important program. All right. I'll entertain a motion to adopt the resolution. So moved. Second. Motion made by Council Member Ortega. Second by Council Member Montgomery. Any other discussion? And please poll the council.

Council Member Lee. Yes. Council Member Flores.

Yes.

Council Member Fleming. Yes. Council Member Ortega. Yes. Mayor Pro Tem Stevens. Yes. Council Member Montgomery. Yes. Mayor Morgan.

Yes. Thank you, Gerald. G7, consider presentation regarding in a resolution approving the semi-annual report of the water and wastewater capital improvements plan and impact fees from the Capital Improvements Advisory Committee. Michael.

Very similar to the roadway impact fee presentation, this is the water and wastewater impact fee presentation. We also went to the CIEC the first week of May, made this presentation. It's our semiannual report. We're required to follow local government code section 395. Anytime you're charging impact fees, you're required to follow that code to make sure your capital plan, your land use assumptions, Your impact fees collected are going as planned making sure you're not charging too much or too less So this is our six month report the reporting period is for the first six months of FY 26 so it started October 1 of 25 through March 31st. This is our six month update here's kind of our our Story here, when we present to the CIC, their job is an advisory capacity. So they're supposed to review this information and then write a letter to the council for formal approval. And we do have that. Just go through a few slides here, kind of showing our growth. The blue bars are the number of water meters in our system. So you can see that bar continues to go up. Today, we're almost 39,000 water meters in our system. I say that because we charge LUEs. So every house is like one LUE. So that's one connection, that's one meter. So you can kind of get a feel for how many connections we have in our system. The yellow bar is our surface water usage. This is over a two-year period. So you see in the summer months we use more water, come down in the winter months, and then back up in the summer. And then the green is our groundwater usage. What's interesting about this chart is the amount of water we're using is not changing too much, right? conservation, water reuse is working in this community, but our connections are increasing, so very good to see that protecting, prolonging our water supply sources. This is just your average monthly demand over the past five years, so you kind of see from Just take November here. There's the previous five years. So the orange is the current year. Really weather dependent when you talk about water, right? So there's not a lot of changes here, obviously, in the summer months. We have to build infrastructure for those peak times in the summer. That's why we want to promote conservation. That's why we spend a lot of money on these capital projects in this plan, because you're using that water and that infrastructure in the summer, but the rest of the year you're not. So very important for conservation during those months. This is just our contracts that we have. We have five contracts for surface water in our three lakes, Lake Georgetown, Lake Stillhouse, and Lake Travis. There's our acre feet. This is how much we pay per acre foot, kind of our raw water usage. So we try to use as much of our BRA water as we can, because that is take or pay. You pay for all that water at the beginning of the year. You want to use it all. different for LCRA and Lake Travis. We pay 50% to reserve it, and then we pay the other 50% when we use it. So we want to try to use all that Georgetown and Stillhouse water first before we go to Lake Travis. And as you can see, Lake Travis water right here is more expensive than the BRA water in our basin here in Brazos. This chart just kind of shows our reuse. The purple lines is how much reuse water we use average on a month. So in the summer, we average about 4 million gallons a day. That number keeps going up. So that's what we want to see. That's water we've paid for. We're reusing it. We're going to continue to promote it. We've got a pretty aggressive marketing plan that we're putting together for this summer to continue to work through that. The next three slides kind of show our building permits that we've issued. You will see that they're not as high this past six months. So right here, so FY25, we issued 503 permits for homes in our community. The first six months of FY26, only 137. Most of that is occurring in the Northeast, Salerno, Remington Heights, the Briggs tract, all that's going to be coming on. So a lot of that single family work we're seeing in the city is out of the Northeast. uh... multifamily very similar we've only issued This is units, 39 units, so probably one complex. This kind of ebb and flows, right? This is when folks come in and ask for a building permit. So we could have several projects that are under review design. It kind of ebb and flows. It depends on when they come in for the permit. This is based on multifamily is different than a house. A house is one LUE. A multifamily, a unit, is half of an LUE. And that's based on the amount of water they use. And then commercial, we've issued 12 building permits. This can be a small restaurant to a big hotel. That's each one permit. So the number of LUEs is based on the water meter size that we issue for that site. So 46 LUEs for those 12 building permits. So in summary, the amount of money we've collected over the past six months is $2 million. You see our previous years. Now, this is only for half a year. So let's just say we go the same rate. We'll collect about $4 million in FY26, less than we've seen here. What we are doing, though, we are starting our master planning, again, of our wastewater. And we'll do that here in the rest of 26, and then we'll start our impact fee update. We do that about every three years to make sure we continue to collect the amount of money we need. We want new growth to always pay its fair share. And I think we definitely do that here. When developments come in and we have to build a water plant expansion, we want to collect connection fees, the developers to pay for that expansion, not the folks that are living here. I will say that when you have a project like that, though only about 70% of that project is paid for through impact fees, the other 30% is through rates. So the impact fees don't pay 100% of new growth. The rates do still pick up some of that. Population rejections, just to kind of show you what we anticipated. So we anticipated Round Rock being about 145,208 in 2026. Based on permits and our guesstimations, we're at around 142,000 plus today. ETJ is around 208,000. So roughly speaking, Round Rock's growing on average 3,000 people a year, I would say, or nine people a day. That's a pretty steady growth we're seeing for our community. I won't go through these, but this is all the projects that we have in our 10-year plan of how we calculate the impact fee. So you'll see a list of water projects here that we had in the impact fee estimate. Here's $24 million worth, and we spent $25 on those. So we want to make sure we're kind of staying in track there. These are in progress. Some big numbers there. A lot of that's BCRUA. You'll see some $77 million here for the deepwater intake. And then right below that's $39 million for the water plant expansion at BCRUA. So that's why those numbers are in progress there, pretty large numbers. And then upcoming, we have a few more. Wastewater the same way, lots of projects. These are all projects that add capacity to our system. You will not see any project here that's a rehabilitation. This is all that are adding capacity, new growth in our system. There's wastewater. And then we also include reuse now. We include that in that water impact fee. So when we're doing projects for reuse, it's calculated in there. Here's our rate like to show this because there's two ways that we collect money to run our water wastewater utility one is through the rates the monthly rates The other is through connection fees or impact fees Our philosophy has always been a new growth pace for itself we're going to adopt the highest we can on the impact fees to pay for that and the ratepayers don't have to pay as much and You see where we stand right here. We're on the far right. That's a good sign for the water users in our community. That means our rates are low. And we're doing a good job of managing our utility. The CIAC wanted to see the muds on there. So you'll see a lot of the muds that are in our ETJ. They're kind of showing on here with some of the surrounding cities. This is if you use 10,000 gallons of water, 6,000 gallons of wastewater in a given month. I will say this graph gets more pronounced if you start going to tiers in 20,000 and 30,000 gallons of water. We stay way down there on the far right as well. Everybody's rates are going up, I will say that. Surrounding communities. We're in a rate study now for ours. We'll be talking to council this summer about that. But we're updating. We're looking at our rates as well. So that's the first. And then the second is our impact fee comparison. Where do we stand? So today we charge for one LUE. So if you have a house, you pay $4,912 to connect to the water system. You pay $2,921 to connect to the wastewater system. That $7,833 gets thrown into the cost of the house. The builder pays that when they come in for a building permit. That goes into the cost of the house. So in the year 2000, roughly speaking, Round Rock had the highest impact fees in the state of Texas. And now you see what's happening. Some of our neighbor cities are, look at Georgetown, $18,000. That's a significant increase there. So that's the summary. Nothing big of alarming here. Like I said, we are in the process of starting the update again. So next year on this time, I'll come before you with any recommendations on changing those fees. But before that, we'll have another six-month update, but we'll keep you posted. The utility is strong, our funding is strong, and things are going well. So I'd be happy to answer any questions. Questions? Council Member Flores.

Hey, Michael, can you go back to the slide that shows the contracted water we have currently? Yes, that one. So, I mean, these are all long-term agreements, and so when do we as a city have to think about going back out and renegotiating those agreements for beyond 50?

So most of these agreements, that's when they expire. Most of them are 40 to 50 year contracts, right? So let's just take the one that's going to expire the soonest. That's BRA and Lake Stillhouse. Contract expiring August 31 of 2040. I would say when we hit about 10 years ahead of that, we're going to start talking to them. In the contracts, every one of those five states in there that LCRA and BRA will make good faith effort to renew those contracts. That would be really hard for them not to. I mean, we are a public entity. We built the infrastructure. We planned our whole city for it. I've never heard that they have not renewed them. But we talk to BRA and LCRA all the time. But I would say, just to give you an answer, probably 10 years in advance, start buttering that bread and having that conversation.

And as a point of reference, do you have any idea, like if there was a municipality today, if there was water available to contract, do you know what that would be per acre feet? Any idea? It would be the same. The same?

For these river authorities, Brazos River Authority, Lower Colorado River Authority, they go and they calculate that number every year. Say that 106 right there for BRA, that is the number that BRA comes up with to run their whole system, maintaining their lakes, their dams, their infrastructure. So that gets recalculated. It goes up about 3% or 4% a year, I would say.

So that moves year to year based on their calculations. Okay.

Yeah, generally. And then the LCRA ones, these three here, there is a 25% surcharge tacked on to that number right there because we're taking it from the Colorado Basin to the Brazos Basin. But yes, for those numbers, next year, those numbers will be a little bit different. Okay, thank you.

But I think to your point, Councilman Flores, I mean, if you're seeing a number of cities trying to do private deals, what are they getting charged per acre feet now?

I mean, I think that... At least we've... Y'all know a couple years back, we went and looked for water to the east, Carriza-Wilcox. There were three entities that we were talking to. That number is significantly larger. I'm talking $1,500 to $2,000 an acre feet. Wow.

Yeah.

So when we talk about future water being more expensive... and go back to that chart with those other cities that don't have all the water for their ultimate build-out, they're going to have to pay that bigger number, which goes into their rate model, which means their rates are going to be up here. Round Rock has done an amazing job. I will say right here, you've seen some charts I've given you, that with water conservation and reuse, these five contracts here, that amount, can take us way on out there to 2060, 2070 with what we have under contract. And we're not locked in at this number, but we're kind of locked in based just on inflation only going on.

So we're in a really good position. Thank you. Yeah. Council Member Toga.

So I want to make sure I'm understanding this correctly. We are sound. We will have water for decades to come, no matter, well, it would depend on what industry comes into our area. So all that is taken to consideration. a calculation to figure out where we're at. And one of the ways we have done in the past as a council is the conservation you're talking about. What we did with landscaping and water usage and all that, all that played a part of this report, correct?

Yes. When we go get this amount of water under contract, we take our city service area. And we have land use assumptions. We we guesstimate X acres are going to be single-family We know how much a single-family house uses in water Commercial multifamily comes up with a big number of how much water we think we need okay? That's how we go out. We got all this water right here So now let's since that time we've been doing conservation And we've been in water reuse landscape ordinance changes so the gallons per capita usage continues to decline which is helping this amount of water we have shown on this chart here, that's going to last us even longer. Thank you. Yeah. So hopefully that made sense. But yeah. It does. And we'll keep pushing reuse. We're going to keep looking at ways to conserve water. Because we want this water, when we get to 300,000 people and we start going more dense and we have more people coming in, we want this water to last us even longer, if possible. I feel like we have a pretty good plan.

Thank you. And just on top of that, I think the big deal is, to your point, is the reuse aspect of it. Because, I mean, if you're using – did you say we're up to about 4 million gallons per month? In the peak summer months, yes. In the peak summer. So that's 4 million gallons of – potable water that we're not using. I mean, so it kind of expands kind of like you're talking about, the growth. You know, look, I think the slide that I think that I wish people would really look at and understand is we've grown by 30,000, 40,000 people since 2011, and we haven't hit 44 million gallons per day like we did on the day that the pumps went down in Lake Georgetown.

Yes, sir.

I mean, you've got to think about that. I mean, you've grown 30,000 to 40,000 people, and we've added businesses, including data centers, and you still have not even come close to the 44 million gallons per day of usage. I mean, I just think that's something that we ought to tell that story and tell it and tell it and tell it.

Mayor, back in 2011, you know, when you look at how much water you use in the winter and how much you use in the summer, it was three times. Okay, let's just say you use 5,000 gallons in the winter, you would use 15,000 in the summer. Today, we're seeing two times that. So if you're using 5,000 in the winter, you're only using 10,000 in the summer. People are conserving. Fixtures in the houses are more water conscientious too, right? It's just the whole thing. Weather does play a part. We had dry spell and there's no rain. We will peak up there pretty high. But as a whole, I would say our community has gotten smarter on how to conserve water. The tiered water rates played into that. If you charge more as you use more, that matters. When we had a one-tier system back when I first came here, you could talk to your blue in the face about conservation. It didn't matter because you were paying the same amount for the first drop versus the last drop. But all those things have mattered, made a difference.

Yeah, they're huge. And to just see cities across Texas struggle on this, I would argue that back in 2011, maybe we weren't doing as well as we are now because we were averaging over 40 million gallons a day for a while. But minus this week and last week, I mean, I wouldn't say we've had a lot of wet weather. So it's been dry. So citizens ought to be commended. Your team ought to be commended. I know Jessica and her team do a great job, and so we appreciate that. Any other questions or comments? I'll entertain a motion to adopt the resolution. So moved.

Second.

Motion made by Council Member Ortega, second by Council Member Montgomery. Any other discussion? And please, public council.

Council Member Flores.

Yes.

Council Member Fleming. Yes. Council Member Ortega.

Yes.

Mayor Pro Tem Stevens. Yes. Council Member Montgomery. Yes. Council Member Lee. Yes. Mayor Morgan.

Yes. G8, consider resolution accepting the city's quarterly financial and investment report for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. Cabin.

Good evening.

Good evening.

This is our quarterly financial investment report for the second quarter for fiscal year 2026 with actuals through March 31st, 2026. Start things off with the quarterly financial update. with a look at the economy. The employment, both in Texas as well as nationally, still remains stable. Through March, Round Rock unemployment rate was 3.3% in March. Again, you kind of see it kind of stable. That's the same value we had in April 2025. going back a year. Unemployment claims in Williamson County did increase 7.9% in the quarter ending March 2026. So locally in Williamson County, we do see the claims for unemployment up. Looking over the last 12 months compared to the previous 12 months, those are up 14%. However, when we look at the unemployment rate, it still remains steady, again, both locally as well as nationally. Looking at consumer confidence, it still remains volatile. Looking back over the past 12 months, several large swings up and down. Through April, however, we see consumer confidence in Texas 8.4% higher than this point last year, US 8.3% higher. So again, volatile but stable. Looking at CPI or consumer price index, we were rolling along between 3% and 2.5% over the last 24 months. Just recently, we hit 3.3% in March and 3.8% in April, largely driven by the prices at the gas pumps, both as a direct impact but also secondary impact as we are seeing airfare, some food products, some other products rise due to higher transportation costs. The CPI has kind of changed what the Fed is looking at in terms of interest rates. Back at the start of the year, we and investors were expecting several rate cuts throughout the year. The likelihood of a rate cut is all but falling to zero, and there's some potential for maybe some rate increases should this pattern continue. Moving on to our city revenues. Through May, our sales tax is up 4.7% over last year, so we are seeing strong growth. Dell sales tax is up about 5%. Non-Dell is up a strong 4%. So again, sales tax is looking strong. As we're looking at locking in our revenue projections for next year's budget, we are looking at seeing some sales tax growth continuing. On property taxes, collections are meeting expectations through March, with most of the collections already in for the fiscal year. We're just slightly under 100% of budget. Rounded is at 100%. So we're meeting budget this year, as some delinquent elections will continue throughout the second half of the fiscal year. I won't go through all of these, but some other select general fund revenues. I do want to point out that the license permits and fees were down 53%, aligning a lot with what Michael just showed on his charts. It's just the timing of when those building permits are issued. We're seeing the number of permits and the revenues from those permits slightly lower than what we have seen in the past. However, it's just a fluctuation of the development cycle, nothing that we're alarmed with at this point halfway through our fiscal year. Program revenues are seeing growth. We're up 8.5%. Of course, a lot of those program revenues come in in the summer. Now that our pools are open, we'll see those start to come in. I had my kids at Rockin' River on Monday Memorial Day. It's great to see it crowded, and hopefully we'll see those revenues continue throughout the summer now the expansion is open and running. Moving on to utility revenues, water, wastewater, and stormwater revenues are trending above prior year, as we expected, as we budgeted, due to the rate increases that went into effect November 2025. So utility fund is trending on track. Looking at hotel occupancy tax and venue tax revenues, through the second quarter we're 4% above where we were this time last year. So that's a good sign. I also wanted to point out we now have 5,081 hotel rooms. Echo Suites on the toll road at Meister Lane is now open. Recently added 124 rooms to our total we have across the city. Looking at occupancy rates, I was very glad that we got the March data in earlier this week, so I was able to present it. The data through December did not look very good. The December occupancy rate was down below 60% in Round Rock, which was the first time we were below 60% over the past five years. Again, thankfully, we got the March data in, which showed a rebound up to 64.3% for Round Rock. Still volatile. Still was an alarming trend. We'll continue to watch it closely. But that is latest data through March, 64%, hopefully adding a bit of stability to what, again, did not look so good back in December. Moving on to our investment report with an update on our investment portfolio again through quarter end March 31, 2026. Our investment strategy remains the same. We use a laddered approach that meets safety, liquidity, and yield in that order. We regularly update and review our cash flow projections working with our investment advisor, and we comply with the Public Funds Investment Act as well as our conservative investment policy. We had a quarter-ending portfolio balance of $517.6 million. You can see the overall shape. We increased ever so slightly from December. We did get property tax revenues in, but we also had debt payments go out of about $32 million in February, so just a very slight increase in our investments by type. When I'm with you next quarter, we'll see this chart have more investments because of the debt we issued. We closed on the debt that council approved at $200 million. So those are four capital projects, but we haven't invested until it gets paid on invoices. Looking at our benchmarks, we have a portfolio maximum WAM or weighted average maturity limit of 540 days. We still remain comfortably under that with a WAM of this quarter of 127 days. Again, due to the volatile economy, we haven't had a lot of options, good options for long-term investments, so we're keeping it a lot more liquid than is allowed under policy. Again, just being prudent and managing our investment portfolio. We had a quarter ending yield of 3.86%, slightly above our benchmark of the one-year treasury of 3.68%. So again, as the interest rates are coming down, we are remaining slightly above the benchmark. Again, not a whole lot of long-term investments, but some of the longer-term investments we do have medium-term are allowing us to stay above our benchmarks at this point. Again, kind of some overview of investments. Our balance has increased slightly, just $3 million. Our yield decreased 22 basis points from the prior quarter, but we're still remaining above the benchmark, looking strong. And the federal funds rate remains at 3.75%, with no changes in the immediate future expected. Happy to answer any questions you may have.

Questions? Questions? All right. I'm going to tell you motion to stop the resolution.

So moved.

Second.

Motion made by Council Member Flores. Second by Council Member Ortega. Any other discussion? And please call the council.

Council Member Fleming. Yes. Council Member Ortega. Yes. Mayor Pro Tem Stephens. Yes. Council Member Montgomery. Yes. Council Member Lee. Yes. Council Member Flores. Yes. Mayor Morgan.

Yes. Ordinances H1, consider an ordinance adopting amendment number one of the fiscal year 2025-2026 operating budget.

Mayor and Council, in accordance with our financial policies, which are adopted annually by the City Council along with our budget, staff has reviewed at mid-year the expenses and has four proposed amendments to the fiscal year 2026 budget we're bringing forward this evening. The first amendment was that in fiscal year 2025, the City was awarded a grant through the Motor Vehicle Crime Prevention Authority that is grant funding through the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles. This has allowed us to roll out our drone as a first responder program. Some of that equipment we ordered with grant funds in 2025 was not delivered, not received by the city in 2026, causing a misalignment between the appropriation of funds and the recording of that financial transaction. So this first amendment is recommended to reappropriate the funding in the current fiscal year to account for, to align, again, the receipt of the equipment. The amounts are $360,100 in the general fund and $154,300 in our law enforcement fund. Those will be totally offset by the grant proceeds that we receive through the program, again, from the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles. Our second budget amendment is one proposed new position in our utility billing division, which is in the utility fund. As Michael also showed on the slides, we're approaching 39,000 utility customers. Our utility billing division each month is sending out nearly 39,000 bills for service. We currently have those... Those customers split into four zones. Two of our zones have gotten so large that we're running into processing time issues with our software system, actually going through the billing process. So we would like to add one additional billing coordinator to facilitate us splitting those zones up so that they process quicker. But to remain with the accurate billing that we do, we'd like to add one billing coordinator position, which is a new FTE in the utility fund, and the amount shown before you is the prorated salary and benefits for that position.

you

Our third proposed budget amendment is also a new position. Our sports management tourism department is doing a reorganization of our Convention Visitors Bureau, or CVB. Part of that reorg, they're proposing adding a marketing manager position to focus on promoting sporting events under Round Rock as a sports capital of Texas brand. So then that third proposed budget amendment is to add one FTE, and that amount you had before you is a prorated salary and benefits for that position for the remainder of this fiscal year. And the fourth and final amendment is a small one in our library special revenue funds. The Friends of the Library donated $2,500 to the city for the replacement of some chairs in our training room. My budget staff does the best job they can in guesstimating how much we'll spend out of these small special revenue funds. We missed on this one, so we'd like to appropriate the funding that we've got from the donations so that we have appropriations there for the expense. Happy to answer any questions you have on any of the proposed budget amendments.

Questions? Lynn? Yep. Council Member McGowan.

The marketing manager, where were those tasks associated before?

Yes. So with the convention Visiersboro, they're recently doing a reorganization. So this will be a new position added. And I believe our director of sports management tourism is here. He can answer that question for you.

OK.

Good evening, Mayor and Council. Yes, this position is, I'm going to say this publicly, but Nancy Yan is retiring from the CVB. And this position, what we're doing with her is we are taking her roles currently and in the Convention Visitors Bureau and moving... that department a little bit closer to sports management and tourism in the way that we market and do our businesses where you're attracting tournaments and events. This position will continue to work with the sports management and tourism side and the go-around-rock side of the tourist side, and we'll push it to that. Nancy's current position is going to be more focused on tournament sales and going after tournaments and events throughout the country and bringing those tournaments in. So Nancy has done such a great job for 26 years with us. We're needing two Nancys now to handle those positions in that current workload.

Thank you.

Any other questions? All right. Entertaining motion to adopt the ordinance. So moved.

Second.

Motion made by Council Member Ortega, seconded by Council Member Lee. Any other questions? And please pull the council.

Council Member Ortega?

Yes.

Mayor Pro Tem Stevens? Yes. Council Member Montgomery?

Yes.

Council Member Lee? Yes. Council Member Flores? Yes. Council Member Fleming? Yes. Mayor Morgan?

Yes. Council comments regarding items of community interest. Council Member Montgomery?

Good night, Ron Rock.

Mayor Pro Tem? Yes.

Yeah, I just wanted to say congratulations to Council Member Ortega, to Council Member Lee and Mayor Morgan on your re-elections and excited to work with you again. And also congratulations to the Class of 2026. I think all the graduations are done. And then also a big thank you to Parks and Rec and the Veterans Coalition for a really fabulous Memorial Day event on Monday. They knocked it out of the park and really did a good job honoring and helping us remember why we were out there. Good night, Round Rock.

Council Member Teja. I want to say thank you again to the community for putting your faith into my hands. Hopefully I will guide it correctly for you and represent your interests as well. Remember, my doors are always open. So don't tell me you haven't reached me by, well, we'll just leave it at that. So I look forward to hearing from you. Good night, Round Rock. Council Member Fleming.

Yes. Congratulations, Council Member Ortega, Council Member Lee, and Mayor Craig Morgan. Good night, Round Rock.

Council Member Flores. Yes. Congratulations to Council Member Ortega, Council Member Lee, Mayor Morgan on your reelections. And I know that it's nice to keep the band together, and I look forward to doing good things in the future. Good night, Round Rock.

Council Member Lee.

Yeah, ditto. Good night, Round Rock.

And I will agree with everything that's been said. So with that, good night, Round Rock, and we're adjourned at 746.
