Council accepts semiannual CIAC reports, approves several water and infrastructure contracts
Summary
Council accepted semiannual roadway and water/wastewater impact fee reports, approved a 40‑year wholesale water agreement with Fern Bluff MUD, awarded valve replacement and reuse‑line contracts, and accepted the quarterly financial report.
The Round Rock City Council accepted the Capital Improvements Advisory Committee (CIAC) semiannual reports for roadway and water/wastewater impact fees and approved multiple infrastructure contracts and interlocal agreements.
Gerald Polvar presented the roadway CIAC report: the city collected a little over $1 million in roadway impact fees during the April–September reporting period and has collected just over $16 million since inception. Polvar noted one offset agreement (Gulf RC Ventures) providing approximately $1.7 million in credits for on‑site infrastructure work.
Michael presented the water/wastewater CIAC report, saying staff collected about $4.8 million in impact fees over the last year and that the city has roughly 39,000 water connections; staff emphasized that impact fees fund a 10‑year capital plan and that new growth pays for its infrastructure share.
Council approved a 40‑year wholesale water agreement to continue supplying Fern Bluff Municipal Utility District, awarded a patent construction contract to replace valves on a west transmission main (approximately $1.4M), and approved a $5.1M award to Cash Construction for the Kinney Fort Boulevard 24‑inch reuse water line extension (25% of which is paid by a Bureau of Reclamation grant). Council also accepted the city’s quarterly financial and investment report, which showed a portfolio balance of about $549.1 million and sales tax growth of 5.4% for the fiscal year.
All items were approved by council during the meeting’s consent and regular agenda votes.
