Round Rock council approves consent agenda, contracts, annexations, PUD changes and bond sales
Summary
On unanimous or majority votes, the Round Rock City Council adopted the consent agenda and approved multiple contracts and ordinances including street and water projects, a wastewater reimbursement to Kwik Trip, annexations and two major PUD amendments; the council also authorized $100M GOs, $93M COs and other debt sales.
The Round Rock City Council adopted a slate of routine items and a series of resolutions and ordinances approving contracts, annexations, and bond issuances during its regular meeting.
The consent agenda—which included minutes, equipment purchases, grant applications, litigation engagement letters and several service and procurement agreements—was adopted by unanimous vote after a single motion and second.
Council approved awards and contract actions including a $4,491,000 contract to Lone Star Paving for the 2026 residential street maintenance program (staff said Lone Star was the lowest responsive bidder) and a $6,100,000 award to Royal Vista Inc. for Meadows Drive Area 2 and 4 water, wastewater and stormwater improvements (staff said the bid was under the $7,000,000 budget). The council also adopted a final closeout and settlement on Kinney Forte Segments 2 and 3 that includes $867,000 in liquidated damages to the city.
On developer-related items the council approved a $172,000 reimbursement to QT South LLC for an oversized wastewater line the company constructed on the city’s behalf, and adopted a first amendment to a development agreement to allocate 8 additional LUEs (living unit equivalents) for a QuickTrip site in exchange for voluntary annexation of a separate QuickTrip parcel.
Planning and zoning actions included approval of two major PUD amendments. Council adopted a PUD amendment for the property at 901 East Old Settlers Boulevard that adds a medium-density multifamily option with surface parking; council also adopted a separate major amendment for the 110-acre Kinney Fort North/Stockwell tract that reorients development around a relocated Brushy Creek trail, expanded public open space and a new pedestrian "Paseo." Staff said the Stockwell PUD could include roughly 700–800 units and more than 200,000 square feet of retail across phases.
On financing, council authorized multiple bond and note actions: presentation materials showed a $100,000,000 general obligation bond sale (par approximately $94.8M), a $93,000,000 combination tax and limited-revenue certificate of obligation sale (par approximately $89.8M), and a $5.3M limited tax note; staff and advisors said bidding results were better than budget and recommended awards to the low bidders. Council also authorized delegation for a potential refunding if it yields at least 2% net present value savings. Staff reported roughly $26,000,000 of lifecycle savings versus budget assumptions across issued deals and an estimated $759,000 in net savings on a targeted refunding opportunity.
All motions and votes recorded at the meeting were taken by roll call or voice where indicated; motions passed as shown in the meeting record.
