Agenda Item

Consider approving appointments to a committee on the annexation by the City of Austin for an area located near Springwoods M.U.D.

Background

The City of Austin is planning for the annexation of the Springwoods MUD area. In December of 2007 the City of Austin amended its Municipal Annexation Plan (MAP) to include portions of the Springwoods area outside of the Springwoods Municipal Utility District. In March of 2008, property owners in the area were sent letters notifying them that their properties had been included in the MAP and describing the three-year MAP process. The next phase of the annexation process was the public hearings that were held on Oct. 20, 2008 and Oct. 23, 2008. During the public hearings, and through notification by letter from the city, property owners were asked if they were interested in representing the annexation area as a negotiator to contact Commissioner Birkman’s office. City staff will negotiate the annexation service plan with 5 representatives of the property owners appointed by the Williamson County Commissioner’s Court. Commissioner Birkman’s office received calls and emails from 5 home owners in the effected area. We have interviewed all of them and we are recommending the following the persons for the committee:

Dan Sulzer – 13323 Water Oak Lane, Austin, TX 78729 - property owner
Brad Hunt – 8802 Crown Court, Austin, TX 78729 - property owner
Milton Mallory – 13322 Villa Park Drive, Austin, TX 78729 - property owner
Pam Rattan – 13214 Villa Park Drive, Austin, TX 78729 - property owner
Michelle Faust - 1311 Round Rock Ave., Round Rock, TX 78681 - Round Rock ISD (There are two Round Rock ISD schools, Live Oak Elementary and Deerpark Middle School, in the planned annexation area. We contacted Alan Albers from the Round Rock ISD and he would like to recommend that Michelle Faust, Director of Safety and Risk Management with Round Rock ISD be appointed to the committee and Michelle has graciously accepted to serve on the committee.)

Alternate – Ron Rattan – 13214 Villa Park Drive, Austin, TX 78729 - property owner
