Review of Landscaping
The former plan with the City's Parks Dept. has been revised due to personnel changes within that department. To accommodate those changes the association has applied for community grants funding from the City of Round Rock. At this time, the application is pending approval from the Round Rock City Council. City utility personnel have marked utility lines in preparation for planting. The new funding process will necessitate moving the plant date from January 22 to Saturday, February 19.
Guests
Dr. Gaul, superintendent of the Round Rock Independent School District, gave a brief presentation and showed a video regarding the upcoming school bond election. This bond election is for construction of new schools in the Round Rock community to address the current and projected growth in area schools. After the video, Dr. Gaul fielded questions from association members in regard to the bond issue.

Update
Rodney Howard, Association President, gave an update on the Fall Fire Ant Kill, the Holiday Light Contest and participation in the New Years Party. He also updated members on the new bank account opened for the Association. The new account for association funds is at First Texas Bank in Round Rock. The Rolling Ridge account was moved from Boatman's Bank when they started assessing fees/service charges on the account. The account at First Texas is free.
SH130
Association members were updated on recent developments regarding SH130. Now allied with the SH130 effort is the Palm Valley Lutheran church which would suffer a substantial negative impact if the western route were selected.
CAMPO, an organization which makes recommendations regarding funding for specific road projects tabled approval of funding for SH130 at its last meeting until the Environmental Study was complete. Rodney and a group of supporters for the eastern route gave a presentation at this meeting. Association members also learned of the "BEST" organization, of which Rodney is a member, and how its efforts have helped to reverse the City's decision on the route placement for SH130.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 8:45pm.
