Polasek
Discussion: Briggs updated the Board. This has gone through the process - application has been
prepared, fees submitted, Council approved. All of the arrangements with Mr. Mike Weaver to be
able to apply, through the Pass Through Finance Program, that is put out by the State.
Last week staff received a letter from CAMPO stating that they appreciated us submitting our
application, but at this time there is no money.
This came as no surprise to us. We have been in this position in the past. Brainard asked with what
has been stated what are our options, Briggs answered that our options is what we have already
approved by the voters in our bonds. Which is to do our portion down to Inner Loop. The problem is
the County does not have anything from Inner Loop to the Southern end where it ties into Round
Rock's, University Blvd/Chandler Rd. This will leave a gap. Brainard asked if the City just does their
portion what are we looking at for a time frame. Briggs stated close to three years not including the
pass through. Aldridge asked if the right of way has been purchased, the answer was not at this time.
Briggs stated that there is no action at this time, just wanted to let the Board k now where we are at on
the Pass Through Finance Program.
