I. STAFF BOARD COMMENTS/QUESTIONS:
(This is a short informational time regarding items where specific actions are not requested or needed)
A. Introduction of visitors.
B. Industry/CAMPO/TxDOT Updates: TxDOT and Texas Transportation Institute are w orking
on the draft report concerning issues with transit funding and the 2010 Census Urbanized
areas. TxDOT Update: They are going to put all of the unallocated 2011/2012 ROW money
into the City of Georgetown for the FM 1460 project. This is roughly $3M this year. The City
would have to provide 10% match. The reason for doing this is by taking the money for
ROW this year, we become the top priority project for the region for 2013 with ROW money.
Which means all the ROW for the entire segment of FM 1460 we would have, with TxDOT
and the 9010 agreement. Round Rock has agreed to do an Interlocal Agreement with
Georgetown.
C. Project Progress Reports: Lakeway Drive Overpass all of the ROW prep work is going on.
Construction will be approximately 18 months hoping it stays on schedule. Asked and
answered there will be a signal at the frontage road but as of right now there will not be
a signal at Lakeway and Airport.
