The package begins with accepting 76.66 acres into the city’s extraterritorial jurisdiction to permit contiguous annexation of the larger Briggs tract. The council then approved municipal services agreements and annexed a 2.673‑acre Nelson tract strip needed to create contiguity. The council adopted a future land use map amendment designating the new area residential and rezoned the 230.08‑acre Briggs tract to SF‑3 (Single‑Family Mixed Lot) to accommodate single‑family development.

Developer presentations said the project will be built in phases over approximately a decade, with about 900 single‑family homes proposed on 50‑, 60‑ and 70‑foot lots. Builder Bill Peckman of New Home Company described the product as “move‑up” housing and estimated pricing “easily into the half millions,” noting that exact product and price will evolve over the phased buildout.

As part of the package, the council consented to the creation of Round Rock Municipal Utility District No. 3, an in‑city MUD that will finance infrastructure (water, sewer, drainage and roads) and levy taxes on MUD residents to repay bonds issued for construction. City staff said the MUD would fall under the city’s CCN for water and wastewater after coordination with the regional water supplier and the state.

Councilmembers pressed staff and the developer about traffic and future street connections, including planned right‑of‑way for Kenny Fort Boulevard (Segment 7) and stubs to adjacent properties to enable future links. Staff said standard development review will require drainage analysis, detention and mitigation of off‑site impacts, and that roadway and utility impact fees apply.

A consent and development agreement sets phasing, standard reviews and developer obligations; council also asked staff to work with the developer and regional utilities to transfer the water service area to Round Rock’s CCN for continuity. All related motions passed in roll‑call votes during the meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council Meeting 2025-06-12","oneSentenceSummary","Council accepted ETJ expansion, annexations, future‑land‑use map amendment, SF‑3 zoning and consented to creation of an in‑city municipal utility district to allow a phased single‑family development of roughly 900 homes and related infrastructure.","taxTitle","Round Rock, Williamson County, Texas","taxId",2822,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6154347,"Round Rock police chief reports crime trends, honors officers and Juneteenth victims",926,1911000,2837000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5485184-b7e55ba5ef7d9b4d2d62d69e0d1bab49&start=1911&end=2837","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5485184-b7e55ba5ef7d9b4d2d62d69e0d1bab49/thumbnail_1911000.jpg","/articles/6154347/Round-Rock/Williamson-County/Texas/Round-Rock-police-chief-reports-crime-trends-honors-officers-and-Juneteenth-victims","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6154347-8aa6396df8e80216f32f85cc9fa530ad/orig.mp4?Expires=1771176828&Signature=LvceoSaeLuC4ogwGnUi~fSFH5pYjhy-s9OruVHoSTpp0M509M2oquCihRmt8XfFrXxI2V~vhMbyouOrUHQzatdClhqtjTA5OMm~Uo5OAHlvn~UeaglatNEhXnPjpIkT5JiMeg2nwRgYbIL48UOt0tGimmhb4dR12j4JZE5Wbo2Yk~y2uT8FomWzQhez~bNHm3V5PdP06O1txt3ru13P3iLNUvOMqsfnAztwsZEfjFeSsL2afzuc0~M-UzYMEaJBe2WQUlH5yiMIviurLzDof1r6cdZZtIWftfkP52WUF3a4PsoKhLP3p~kO9bwWABYYhENWqQUUSfzDWxJTNIPi-mA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Round Rock Police Chief Alan Banks presented council with a snapshot of department activity in 2024 and early 2025, highlighting calls for service, traffic enforcement results and several community programs.

Banks said the department handled about 125,000 calls for service in 2024 and that communications center staff answered roughly 166,000 911 or nonemergency calls. He reported a slight overall decrease in reported offenses from 2022 to 2024, a decline in major injury collisions and a continued problem with vehicle burglaries concentrated along the I‑35 corridor.

The chief described enforcement steps and a motor vehicle crime prevention task force intended to reduce auto burglaries and auto thefts, and he said officers wrote more than 6,000 citations in 2024—an increase from 2023. He described community programs including the Junior Police Academy (50th graduating class that afternoon), girls’ empowerment week and e‑bike special assignments for park and trail patrols.

Banks also recalled the June incident last year; he praised officers, firefighters and first responders for saving lives and said multiple awards—including medals of valor and meritorious service—were presented at a recent department banquet.

Councilmembers thanked the department for outreach and training and said the visibility of programs such as the junior academy and community policing supports neighborhood safety. Banks said recruitment and retention remain priorities: the department had 29 cadets in basic training and five lateral officers in 2024.

The chief concluded by noting June’s Juneteenth observances and the department’s continuing role in public safety and community healing.","Chief Alan Banks presented 2024 department statistics, discussed traffic enforcement and property‑crime initiatives, described awards for officers who responded to last year’s Juneteenth incident, and outlined recruitment and public outreach programs.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6154353,"Round Rock council approves $181,000 supplemental contract for Flock license-plate cameras",427,3336000,3763000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5485184-b7e55ba5ef7d9b4d2d62d69e0d1bab49&start=3336&end=3763","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5485184-b7e55ba5ef7d9b4d2d62d69e0d1bab49/thumbnail_3336000.jpg","/articles/6154353/Round-Rock/Williamson-County/Texas/Round-Rock-council-approves-181000-supplemental-contract-for-Flock-license-plate-cameras","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6154353-cdd5ef4865f927982b87332486d800f9/orig.mp4?Expires=1771176828&Signature=jClVpyhNxSAwAWUZoFb6-SVaXaGYLwytfRgwD5Kb6aY0Jz2Ly57TNnQWSc53~c~LFutqJYQteSWylfzODg0k0izzoNUJKPxgMDdMCVHTmEhJ6l836JRrpShiW4YeUrYJfb3Fdwmu4HiwelcqcMWPhEeMpBmwFK62GQl4poWe0Jw~colH8UImM1XwJ1JWwdn24FoN8KwQE0ClbzD9BHFL26W8WJvYTCBXCQl2lJQhMxA1gxbLsko17pU5LsdYb1ac9bmcKgvwd8jkPiZdmE0mPG36qmm6MYoO~QxwfN0R4y~jQMCYOPrxa7zgUgFdRK7DqChVvj35WnNLmEUcBm7J7Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Round Rock city council on Tuesday approved a supplemental agreement with Flock Group Inc. that adds 40 license-plate–reader cameras to the city’s system, using funds from a motor-vehicle crime prevention grant. The supplemental order is roughly $181,000 and expands an existing program the police department says has helped investigators solve vehicle crimes.

Police Chief Alan Banks told the council the cameras “only give images” of vehicles’ rear plates and “will not tell me who’s driving that vehicle.” He said most captures do not show occupants and that data “is stored for 30 days before it is purged.” Banks added that officers must have a criminal nexus to use Flock data and that the department audits uses and disciplines any misuse.

Banks said 30 current cameras have been “a tremendous tool” for investigations and that the additional 40—30 mobile units to be rotated with regional partners and 10 fixed remote-view locations—will help the city and neighboring jurisdictions track vehicles tied to crimes. Kevin Cutler of Flock was present at the meeting for technical questions.

Councilmember motion and vote records show the measure passed unanimously. Mayor Craig Morgan and councilmembers voted yes when the motion was called.

Supporters argued the system aids investigations into auto burglaries and thefts concentrated along the I‑35 corridor. Banks said the department uses Flock only after officers establish probable cause in a criminal investigation and that searches for noncriminal purposes—“to see if his girlfriend or wife is going through intersections”—would violate policy.

Banks also described training, auditing, and a 30‑day data retention rule as safeguards; he said state Department of Motor Vehicles records—not Flock—are required to attach a registered owner’s identity to a plate. The council approved the resolution to execute the supplemental order form.","City council approved a supplemental order with Flock Group to add 40 license-plate-reader cameras under a motor-vehicle crime prevention grant; police chief said the system stores only images of vehicle rears and data are retained 30 days and used only for criminal investigations.","actionData","errors"]
