Discuss and take appropriate action on participation by Williamson County Road Bond Program under the county's habitat conservation plan for the project area for roadway construction related to SW Bypass Segment 2.

This participation covers a portion of Southwest Bypass (Segment II) beginning on the south side of Leander Road (FM 2243) approximately 985 feet west from the intersection between Leander Road and Riverview Drive in Georgetown, Williamson County, Texas. The Project extends south into the Texas Crushed Stone quarry and subsequently turns eastward to intersect Project (Segment I; “Barnes Tract”) to connect with a project area at IH-35. The project area for Segment II is 56 acres; a previous Participation (WCCF 20170523) comprising 3.7 acres and related to the quarry access ramp has been completed. This Participation will cover 52.2 acres and relate to a $5300.00 Participation Fee.

A single right-hand turn land within the existing RoW for Leander Road (440 feet by 25 feet) is a part of the project but not a part of this Participation being considered a previously impacted area.

The area is in the Edwards Limestone karst area and is being participated by the Williamson County Road Bond Program. Requested action is to authorize County Judge or designee to sign (execute) Determination Letter and to execute Participation Agreement, when presented, for this project, WCCF file 20170523, and to sign any related documents as may be required.
