Project Push 4) PfCONA Volunteer Pamphlet Unveiling 5) Mayor/Councilman/Chief Comments &
Questions
*See related newsbrief below. Councilman Pat McCord, Mayor Scott Winton, and Chief David Buesing (also interim City Manager) are scheduled to be present. The meetings are intended for city/ETJ neighborhood residents and leaders. At the last PfCONA meeting on March 8th, PfCONA highlighted the possibility of an airport because there is a chance one would be coming to this area after all and citizens should be aware of this and voice whether they are for one or against one to their county commissioners, TXDOT, and city leaders. Citizens at the 3/8 PfCONA meeting had mixed feelings about an airport just outside our northern or southeastern ETJ. Some at the PfCONA meeting said they were not for or against an airport, some said they were for it if it meant more economic development and lower taxes, some said they were not for an airport since it would impact our quality of life here, and others present did not voice their opinion either way but did ask questions.
Nathan Weiss, a speaker on the issue, said that property owners in his area within and along the southeastern ETJ mainly wanted a say in how their land was developed (that it not be forced upon them) and that they felt that there wasn't enough demand for such an airport. He did say that he and members of his group were not against economic development and that he realized Pflugerville was growing eastward and that he would soon see homes developed across Cameron Rd from his land that his family has owned for the past 100 years. He said there has been opposition to an airport in this area for the past 24 years and that it keeps coming back. He said eastern Travis County has been a dumping ground for projects that others do not want (e.g., landfills).
Interim City Manager/Chief Buesing said that Pflugerville residents never voted not to have an airport, they only voted to not allow for a 1/2 cent tax that would go to the city, which some felt could possibly support airport development. He said that the city has suffered greatly due to the loss of the 1/2 cent tax money. He also said that an airport would bring a lot of property tax revenue which we need.
Note: Hutto City Council recently voted 3-2 that
they are not in support of an airport in their area. In relation to the Pflugerville area...KASE 101 Country just came to town on Friday, April 2nd from 5a-9a in the Pflugerville HEB parking lot. They are visiting towns (Buda is next) to pay tribute to community service workers (police, fire, EMS, teachers, etc.). They had sign up for a car giveaway and the Pflugerville Downtown Association gave away door prizes (gift certificates, flowers, etc.). Various city officials and organization leaders were interviewed including PfCONA, which made mention of the PfCONA Welcome Mug Program being delivered by Police Officers to every new resident. The Mayor Scott Winton gave a Welcome Mug Packet to the radio hosts and declared April 2nd KASE 101 day. KASE 101 is also a sponsor of the Parks and Recreation Easter Pfestival 2004 on Saturday, April 3rd at Heritage Park from Noon-3p.
The City is planning to purchase 130 acres of land, off Weiss La near the new reservoir along Pfluger La, to build a business park in Pflugerville. The cost of the property is not yet known and there is no estimate completion date. (Source: Pflugerville Pflag, April 1, 2004)
A recent transportation study by the Capital Area Rural Transportation System was presented to city council on March 23rd. The conceptual plan outlines direct service between areas near Pflugerville, Georgetown, Austin, and Round Rock. A direct route connecting Pflugerville with Round Rock was suggested. It is being determined if $250,000 of grant money that was allocated for transit improvement in Pflugerville and Cedar Park is still available. (Source: Pflugerville Pflag, April 1, 2004).
On another note, know that we may soon lose Periwinkles gift shop unless more people shop there at 403 W. Pecan St. Go now. They are having a sale. Get introduced to the very unique and special items there, just like at our other downtown and Pflugerville area merchants. If all of our neighborhoods made a push for residents to Shop Pflugerville Pfirst, before looking elsewhere for gifts, food, equipment, etc., more of our tax dollars would stay in Pflugerville and more businesses that we desire will come to Pflugerville.
The new Heritage Park Pool looks like it is going to be a wonderful addition to our Parks and Recreation offerings. Have you seen the new waterslides going in? There is also a playscape that has already gone up. Construction is still underway. Stay tuned.
Last, the City Council will be hosting a Banquet for Community Volunteers on April 20th at 7p at Pfluger Hall. The City had PfCONA submit a list of active PfCONA and neighborhood leader volunteers, so the City could invite them to express their sincere appreciation for making progress in the Pflugerville possible. This is the third annual event of this nature.
In relation to Pflugerville neighborhoods...Creekside just held a neighborhood-wide garage sale and will have a Creekside Eggstravaganza on April 3rd from 10am-11:30am at Creekside Park. Ridge at Steeds crossing and Bohls Place/Bohls Crossing just had neighborhood meetings, Saxony is getting ready for a new pool season, and Arbor Creek is dealing with possible deed restriction changes requested by the builder. Ridge at Steeds Crossing also recently elected new officers. Arbor Creek has also asked PfCONA to develop a web page for their subdivision on PfCONA's website. Also, there are only 12 lots left in the subdivision for sale. Falcon Pointe residents are seeing Hwy 130 and Hwy 45 develop on the edge of their subdivision. The City is putting in a guardrail along some houses on Kelly La in Blackhawk due to recent accidents. Bohls Place/Bohls Crossing has asked PfCONA to temporarily help host their website until they raise enough funds for one.
With Deutschen Pfest right
around the corner on May 14-16, Pflugerville neighborhood associations are being
invited to enter floats in the May 15th parade. Nancy Ramsey, parade organizer, is
sending out invitations to neighborhoods and businessess but in case we don't have
your contact information and you wish to enter, E-mail kenramsey@cox-internet.com for
more info. Deadline for entries is May 10th. They may be dropped
at Parks and Recreation offices at 400 Immanuel Road or faxed to same office at: 990-0932.
PfCONA is about ready to unveil its new volunteer pamphlet to introduce members and others to how to be involved in PfCONA and their own neighborhoods. Come to the April 12th meeting to get a first hand look at the new pamphlet. A PfCONA overview brochure, including how to join PfCONA is also being developed.
Also, PfCONA is readying a banner for use in upcoming community outreach booths at Pflugerville Downtown Association Market Days as well as Deutchen Pfest Parade and possible booth. PfCONA is also preparing to have signs made to encourage residents to vote in May city council and school elections, in relation to PfCONA's Pflugerville VOTES! project. Signs will be distributed to neighborhood/homeowner association leaders to put in their yards to encourage their own residents to vote. Instead of the 500 who voted in Pflugerville city council election last year out of 10,000 registered residents, we can double that to 1,000 or more if we get our neighbors to the polls. It takes a person to person appeal.
Last, PfCONA is currently
requesting a supply of brochures from all city community organizations,
including contact information, in order to make this information part of its Community
Kiosk Project. Brochures would be displayed in kiosks around town and at booths
at community events. As a result of the process of collecting contacts and
brochures, PfCONA hopes to compile a list of all the Pflugerville organizations and
is interested in calling a meeting (roundtable) of all organization leaders or their
designates, as early as June 5th or 12th. This type of meeting could take place at least
once a year or on an emergency basis. A timely topic is the revitalization of
downtown pflugerville and Pflugerville's rapid growth.
...Pflugerville downtown was platted 100 years ago... by George Pfluger and his son, Albert Pfluger on February 19, 1904....First Gin was built in Pflugerville in 1904...a fire in 1931 destroyed original one but the present one replaced it. Another smaller gin called the "little gin" was in place from 1913-1949. ...St. George's Hotel... was built here in Pflugerville in 1905. It burnt down in 1916. It was not unusual for as many as 30 passengers to get on and off the train daily and stay in the 20 room hotel.
...Texas has 79,000 miles of highway... soon Pflugerville will add at least 7 more miles of Hwy 130 and Hwy 45 to that total.
...Texas has up to 1 billion pieces of litter a year... although there are less cans on the road, for example, there is much more micro litter (e.g., cigarette buts, things that people throw out of their car because they want a clean car).
...Pflugerville Police Officers deliver about 200 PfCONA Welcome Mug Program packets to new Pflugerville residents each month on Saturdays and Sundays as part of a community policing effort. The program is a partnership with the police department and includes crime prevention materials, voter registration, and business coupons, PfCONA materials, and a PfCONA mug. Businesses are sponsors and it is a positive way for police to interact with the citizenry.
...Pflugerville Police Officers inventory street lights that are out every Sunday evening.
****************************** The Kim Williams Company will be presenting its results at a City Council Work Session on Tuesday, April 13th, from 6:30p-7:30p. The implementation strategy, which includes short-term, mid-term, and long-term goals and actions, will be supported by explanation of concepts, existing condition of downtown, and Pflugerville's historical development.
PfCONA has been deeply involved, along with the Pflugerville Downtown Association and the Pflugerville Downtown Planning Committee, in providing feedback to the consultant on their study drafts and input during their initial work sessions, including PfCONA's February 9th meeting, where the consultant presented. PfCONA is preparing a support letter in relation to the study results and is prepared to do so publicly at the April 13th work session. PfCONA has also volunteered and is asking to be appointed to the Downtown Planning Committee, by the City Council. Our request has been submitted via W.C. Kolinek, new committee chair, and had also been presented to Duane Blakeslee, outgoing committee chair.
The primary reason for the master plan study
called for by the City Council was to synthesize various past planning efforts
and build on them in order to revitalize downtown and economic
development. Because Pflugerville is at a crossroads, the master plan will
focus on specific actions that are critical for the positive development of Pflugerville's
downtown business district over the next 10-20 years. The implementation of the
plan could produce a new City Hall complex, gin site redevelopment, former MoKan
railroad site use, Pfluger Tract development, as well as interest in various private
sector retail and office projects. Smaller projects could spin-off from larger
projects. A critical component of the development of downtown is the Architectural Review Board called for in the City's recently revised Site Development Code. The City is seeking 5 professionals from design-related fields such as architecture, landscape architecture, urban planning, land development, construction, and citizens at-large to serve on its Architectural Review Board. Members serve without compensation and must be residents for at least two years prior to the date of appointment and must not hold elective office or be employed with the City. Interested persons should submit application to: Karen Thompson, City Secretary, PO Box 589, Pflugerville, TX 78691 or via E-mail to: karent@cityofpflugerville.com. Applications will be accepted until appointments are made. ****************************** CANDIDATES FOR CITY COUNCIL AND SCHOOL BOARD City Council Race: Mayor: Ron Beyer vs. Cat Callen Place 1: Kurt Reece vs. Dick Batten Place 5: Duane Blakeslee (Scott Winton considering)

****************************** UPDATE ON A SKATE PARK FOR PFLUGERVILLE
Councilman Pat McCord will be on hand at the April 12th PfCONA meeting to give a more complete update on the possibility of a skate park in Pflugerville and will ask those present for feedback. He has forwarded the following facts to PfCONA:
1) There have been two meetings with the public to gather information regarding the possibility of building a skate park in Pflugerville. 2) At the last meeting, there were 60 people present. 3) The proposal is to ask the city of Pflugerville to consider putting a skate park in the future plans for a Pflugerville park.
4) A skate park would cost approx 250 to 400 K dollars for a concrete facility with multiple skill level areas.
5) The skate community in Pflugerville could be as large as 300 youth, male and female.
6) The County is interested in Pflugerville's decision and may participate if asked.

Making Places Special: Stories of Real Places Made Better by Planning by Gene Bunnell: (2002). Book description: Although good planning sometimes takes decades to bear fruit, the long-term quality and livability of communities should not be left to chance. The author visited and photographed each city and interviewed hundreds of planners, architects, elected officials, and citizens. Their first-person accounts and Bunnell's insightful narrative describe how planning helped to weave local geography, history, economy and society into a distinctive community fabric. The case studies will inspire planners and anyone who has faith that policy decisions based on solid planning can actually make places better. It's essential reading for planning commissioners, elected officials, and other community leaders who must consider the future impact of today's land and development decisions. Planning instructors will find its illustrated case studies and electronic format ideal for classroom presentations.
A Good Place to Live: Americas Last Migration by Terry Pindell (1995). Book description: Terry Pindell wanted to find a good place to live, a place where community
was still alive, public meeting places existed, social life wasn't relegated to home and
office, and where cars and calendars didn't overwhelm the fabric of friendly interaction.
And Pindell found he wasn't alone, that a wave of humanity (the title migration) was
seeking quality living. So he spent a few years checking the 12 spots that had made it on
most folks' short list, including Minneapolis, Seattle, Santa Fe, New Mexico, Napa,
California, and Missoula, Montana, looking for a place to live in, not just visit.

Pfolks and Pfriends, Speaker: Nathan Weiss, PAPCPE (Pflugerville
Area Pfamilies Concerned About Preservation and Enhancement) FYI: TWO OF TXDOT'S THREE GENERAL AVIATION AIRPORT SITE FINALISTS ARE EITHER JUST OUTSIDE OF PFLUGERVILLE ETJ OR IN PORTIONS OF IT In relation to the Pflugerville area...did you know that although citizens have been told that Pflugerville is not being considered as a possible general aviation airport site for the Austin area, two out of the three finalist sites are the distance from the FM685 HEB in Pflugerville to the HEB at IH35/WellsBranch. This distance is about what you would travel to get to the proposed Hutto airport site from our northern city limits as well as the proposed Manor site from our western city limits along E. Pecan St. The Manor site is actually in the Pflugerville School District and portions of Pflugerville's southeast ETJ (near Bird's Nest Airport) according to TXDOT Manor site map online. Pflugerville City Limits and Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Map: www.cityofpflugerville.com/gis/MapPDF/CityLimitMap.pdf TXDOT Airport Site Study (and maps): www.dot.state.tx.us/AVN/airportsitestudy/project.htm To get information on the feasibility study, go to: www.dot.state.tx.us/AVN/airportsitestudy/phase1feasibility.htm The Hutto site is about 2.5 miles north of Rowe La or less than 2 miles from our northern ETJ. Although it is termed the Hutto site it is in the northwest portion corner of the town of Normann's Crossing. The Manor site near Bird's Nest Airport (which should be termed the Pflugerville site since it is in the Pflugerville area and not Manor) is just past the 3700 block of E. Pecan, where Cameron Road continues in its place. That is 3 miles from FM 685, or 2.5 miles from Bohl's Place, or 1.5 miles from Northeast Metropolitan County Park (with Hwy 130 already being built along east side of park). The area of consideration for this Pflugerville area airport crosses our ETJ in two areas (a portion of Cameron Road South and Cameron Road East) and the potential footprint of the airport crosses into our ETJ (across from Cameron Road East). Most of the airport however appears to be in Austin's ETJ which begins on the south side of Cameron Road East while Pflugerville's ETJ is on the north side of Cameron Road East. All this land is just south of the area originally considered when Pflugerville had looked at doing an airport a few years back but decided not to. If an airport goes in either of the two areas, planes would fly directly over or circle future Pflugerville homes and businesses to be built to the east of Hwy 130 and could possibly fly over any other Pflugerville neighborhood. With a 7,000 foot runway, although the airport's intended use is small planes/jets, such a runway could also handle cargo planes (e.g., UPS or FedEx), according to an editorial in the Hutto Herald. That same editorial claims that La Guardia airport is 625 acres while the proposed general aviation airport will be 800 acres in size. In relation to Pflugerville neighborhoods, know that both the Creekside Neighborhood Association and Gatlinburg Neighborhood Association have had Rick Murphy, Executive Director of the Pflugerville Community Development Corporation (PCDC) come speak at their recent neighbohood meetings. Bohls Place/Bohl's Crossing Neighborhood Association has been involved in the PfCONA Community Food Drive during February on behalf of the North Rural Community Center (NRCC). They also just had a quarterly meeting in January and are lining up a Boy Scout Troop that wants to offer their services to neighborhood residents for the PfCONA Curb Crime Appeal. The Appeal is for Pflugerville area residents to have their addresses painted on the curb in order to help first reponders find their home in an emergency, since at least 50% of Pflugerville homes do not have numbers on their curb or their home itself. In relation to PfCONA happenings, know that some PfCONA Communication Committee members are drafting a PfCONA pamphlet to give members and potential members an idea of how they can become involved in PfCONA and/or their own neighborhood. A tri-fold brochure is also being developed to give an overview of PfCONA and PfCONA membership information/application. This information will become part of the future Kiosk Displays that PfCONA is attempting to have put around town with all of Pflugerville's various organizations having their brochures displayed as well. Know that PfCONA has officially become a partner of the Pflugerville Downtown Association (PDA). It will also have a booth at upcoming Market Days on April 24-25 and November 20-21. It has also offered to help again with putting out Market Days signs as well as help with PDA website enhancements. As mentioned in last Tidbits, PfCONA has been in contact with a Study Circles trainer about future group moderator and scribe training. Study Circles is a process of gaining community or group input and opinion on topics of importance. A meeting is being held with Jon Abercrombie on March 11th or 12th. More details on the results of this meeting to follow. Again, it should be mentioned that PfCONA has two new E-mails. You may send to: PfCONA@aol.com or info@pfcona.org (E-mail posted on PfCONA website). PfCONA also has had more than 17,000 visitors to its website since it was begun. It started out with 100 visitors a week, then 200, and now has more than 300 per week (does not include individual page views). NOTE: With a new year upon us, it is time to recruit people like you to become part of the PfCONA action network. Just as kids are right now signing up for baseball, kickball, soccer, etc., we want to sign you up as a member or associate member. Click here for PfCONA 2004 application. PfCONA can help connect you with what's going on in Pflugerville so you can make a difference in our community--through your words and actions. ***************************** DID YOU KNOW... ...Hutto now has a home rule charter since it has 5,000 residents as of 8/03 and it also now has a one-mile ETJ, paid city council, and all on city boards must live in city limits ...Groundbreaking for Water Reservoir was held on Feb. 27.

Click here for past minutes of meetings (includes most recent from December and January). Meetings are always held on second Monday of the month. ****************************** In relation to Pflugerville, the City has recently hired The Willliams Company, a full service architectural firm, to develop a master plan for downtown, keeping in mind planning efforts and code revisions the city has undertaken the past two years as well as other efforts:
1) City Comprehensive Plan (Click here to view two maps on city site) 2) Downtown Site Development Code developed
by Duncan Associates 3) Pflugerville Downtown Planning Committee (city committee) plan 4) Pflugerville Community Development Corporation city branding study 5) Envision Central Texas downtown concept plan (Click here for copy on PfCONA site) 6) Keep Pflugerville Beautiful (city committee) plans for gateway 7) Parks and Recreation plan for present/future trails and parks 8) TX Dept of Transportation plans for roads/highways/MOKAN right of way 9) GPCC Tourism Task Force (recently formed) 10)PfCONA Setting Our Direction for Pflugerville's Future document (Click here for copy on PfCONA site)
Kim Williams, principal, who founded the firm in 1983, possesses 24 years of historic preservation experience locally, statewide, and internationally, and has worked on over 100 prominent historic landmark projects. His firm may be working with another architectural firm, Croslin and Associates, that the city council approved via a 3/11/03 council meeting consent agenda to do: a needs assessment/feasability study; conceptual/preliminary design (schematic) for a new city hall/city council chambers; and, probable cost in order to see if the voters may wish to pay for one. The plan is meant to bring city hall functions under one roof. The city council has previously talked about putting the building downtown, perhaps somewhere on the Gin Site, which is near intersection of N. Railroad and E. Pecan. A visitor center/museum is an idea being floated, that may look like an old Pflugerville train depot and be alongside the old cattle loading dock that is still there now (for loading onto trains). The council will want to know if residents wish to keep Old Gin look and feel, etc.
In relation to recent correspondence by PfCONA chair with The Williams Company on 1/23/04:
Mr. Williams, Great meeting on Wednesday night!...I am excited about what your company can do for our community. I was impressed with your knowledge and plain common sense approach during your Pflugerville Downtown Planning Committee presentation this past Wednesday night at city council chambers...I think you are going to be able to moderate/bring together the various opinions and planning that has been underway for the past couple of years. We are a tremendous crossroads.
I have attached a "Setting Our Direction for Pflugerville's Future document", which PfCONA has developed. Perhaps it can be of some use for you along with the many other documents you are reviewing, in order to come up with a master plan.*
Note: I have a tape of Envision Central TX presentation on Pflugerville concept plan from October 1, 2003. I also have a tape of Pflugerville Downtown Development Forum hosted by PfCONA in July 2003...Also, I'll ask Steve Jones if the city wouldn't mind you coming to our next PfCONA meeting on Feb. 9th at 7pm. at Pflugerville Justice Center.
*List of documents the city had developed and planning activities were listed (they are noted in description of The Williams Company at top of this E-mail).
Response from The Williams Company to PfCONA Chair on 1/26/04:
Thank you for your beneficial phone
call and the attached info. I had not received any of this info. or data and it is
strategic to properly developing a downtown plan that is objective and comprehensive in
nature. I hear that the citizens have seen or heard of much planning but are quite
interested in seeing results and results that reflect their input. This approach is
definitely a part and consistent with our firms philosophy. Your comments at the
meeting that" my words and approach are almost too good to be true" is
both appreciated and a challenge. However in my older age of wisdom through
experience, I have learned that a comprehensive master plan can be worth gold and almost
any worthy vision is attainable when their is consensus and commitment by all
stakeholders'''. I have observed and participated in many such plans. And several
processes have commenced implementation of some work items before the plan is
complete. I sincerely believe that Pflugerville has all of the right ingredients and
solid footing to make the next big step. I am honored and excited to be a part of
this landmark process. Do not hesitate to contact me as we progress into the
planning. Thanks again for your comments and info.
In relation to PfCONA happenings, know that on January 31st, PfCONA had an Executive Committee Retreat to plan the PfCONA 2004 calendar. The retreat, possibly the first ever, was based on priorities/direction that members determined at the January 12th PfCONA meeting. The January meeting brought about an election of PfCONA officers and they successfully drafted a calendar at retreat for presentation at February 9th PfCONA meeting. The calendar includes things related to community and neighborhood issues as well as PfCONA committee projects/activities: safety; communication; exec committee/membership; and, partnerships. Those involved in retreat included Sally Gannaway of Bohl's Place; Mario Galliano of Creekside; Clay Leben of Gatlinburg and PfCONA Communications Committee Chair; Nancy Ramsey of Katymead and PfCONA Secretary/Treasurer; Cecilia Galliano of Creekside and PfCONA Vice Chair; Rod Reyna of Saxony and PfCONA Chair; Chief David Buesing of Pflugerville Police Department/City of Pflugerville and PfCONA Advisor; and, Mayor Scott Winton of City Council and PfCONA Advisor. The executive committee was informed that Graham Nelson, the recent President of Creekside, was invited to chair the PfCONA Partnerships Committee if he so chooses.
On another note, at most recent Pflugerville Downtown Planning Committee meeting on January 21st, PfCONA mentioned to Duane Blakeslee, chair, that we would like to be represented on their committee. More details on this to follow.
On yet another note, PfCONA has received materials on the Study Circles Process, which is a method Windermere Area Neighborhood Watch, the Pflugerville Police Department, and the Pflugerville Area Community Council used almost 10 years ago to get citizen input on community issues. The issue considered at that time was neighborhood safety/crime. PfCONA is in contact with a related Study Circles trainer about future group moderator and scribe training. More details on this to follow.
Last, PfCONA has two new E-mails. You may send to: PfCONA@aol.com or info@pfcona.org (E-mail posted on PfCONA website). PfCONA also has had more than 17,000 visitors to its website since it was begun. It started out with 100 visitors a week, then 200, and now has more than 300 per week (does not include individual page views).
In relation to neighborhoods, Gatlinburg is already looking into becoming involved in PfCONA's Curb Crime Appeal that began developing in December 2003. The Saxony president is also going to be presenting this at Saxony's February 8th meeting. Appeal involves painting address numbers on a home curb in order to help first responders find the proper home quickly in an emergency.
NOTE: With a new year upon us, it is time to recruit people like you to become part of the PfCONA action network. Just as kids are right now signing up for baseball, kickball, soccer, etc., we want to sign you up as a member or associate member. Click here for PfCONA 2004 application.

Members of the Pflugerville Downtown Association (PDA), an organization which PfCONA has been partnering with, discussed at their February 4th Luncheon that they were going to begin courting a hotel to our area, since no such efforts appear to be underway for various reasons or another. PfCONA will be involved in this data collection process as well since it may be great if we had a full-service hotel that could bring conventions, tourism, meeting space to this area. Contact Gwen Blakeslee at 251-5611 if you wish to become involved, have any leads, or wish to give your opinion about bringing one in our area. You can also send your comments, for forwarding to the PDA, to pfcona@aol.com.
***************************** P RECINCT 2 CONSTABLE OFFERING "TAGSTER" SPRAY FOR GRAFFITI CLEANUP
Constable Bob Vann came to PfCONA's January meeting to announce he is offering a spray bottle product called "Tagster" for free to neighborhood leaders who wish to use it. A waiver has to be signed by anyone who wants to use it. Know that it is a strong product and it can easily take off paint from a sign, for example, that you do not wish to remove. Contact his office at: 854-9697 or info@constable2.com.
*****************************
On a local level, the consulting firm, one of the best of the best, is currently developing the city's new master plan for the City of Pflugerville is using the Pflugerville Downtown Concept Plan as one of many points of reference. The city council asked ECT to produce this plan, which it did for free, and now the input produced by 71 Pflugerville residents is having an impact. PfCONA has a copy of downtown consensus map that was developed. You may also click here for copy of plan on PfCONA site.
On a regional level, a February 11th ECT Leadership Workshop will include PfCONA representatives (Nancy Ramsey, Carol Fletcher, Martha Lemieux on behalf of PfCONA and Mayor Scott Winton on behalf of city). Elected/public officials from across the region were invited to participate. ECT is hosting this interactive event for leaders to take a first-hand look at the vision taking shape for our region's future over the next 20-40 years, based on a recent first of its kind survey of 12,500 Central Texans.Since ECT announced the survey results just before the holidays, its board of directors has been using the raw data feedback as the backbone for drafting a regional vision for Central Texas. As promised, this is an opportunity to see the draft vision first and for stakeholders to provide input at this critical stage of the process on behalf of affected communities.
ECT thanks the 12,500 Central Texans (1 out of
every 100 residents) who completed their recent regional survey online and through
newspaper inserts between October 6th and October 31st. The survey results
indicate that people are very concerned about how we will maintain our quality of life if
the region's population doubles, and there is consensus throughout the five-county region
something must be done to prepare for growth. Respondents indicated a willingness to
embrace change and a strong preference for a regional vision. They also favored solutions
that would guide the area away from current patterns of growth.
***************************** PFLUGERVILLE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION BRANDING STUDY
The intent by three UT of Austin student teams was to develop a comprehensive branding strategy for the city of Pflugerville. The PCDC is mulling over their results which included the following basic excerpts from their presentations:
Team 1: – -Increase visibility of Pflugerville among developers -Give voice to a strong brand identity to increase positive awareness and associations with the City Pflugerville as a place for business -developers need to build in a place where they feel confident the community will nurture and support their business
Team 2: -make Pflugerville a magnet to which developers are drawn -create cooperative working relationships among town organizations -Pflugerville is the next big thing -develop a retention and growth strategy for existing businesses -inspire community to support the identity
Team 3: -attract and influence development that will allow the city to grow, without losing its position as a family-oriented community -connect with developers -connect with other city officials, community groups, and residents -keep everyone informed and connect with the press -cultivate environment that encourages involvement (go to them)
The following brand sayings were introduced:
Team 1: "Pflugerville, another way to spell community" Team 2: "Uncommon name, Uncommon potential" Team 3: "Connecting Central Texas" (in
relation to new SH130 and SH45)

Note: Perhaps the following brand saying could be used: Blaze a Trail in Pflugerville! This was brought up at January PfCONA meeting. Since Pflugerville is best known for its trails, not just Austin, this just might work. We're a walking town, walking our neighborhoods and hope to make downtown more walkable, too. It is an exciting and unique anthem to encourage developers to break new ground here, bring services we need and want, and to partner with our community as we grow and develop. Plus, we're blazing a new portion of SH130 and SH45 right through our area and more neighborhood trails are going in all the time. The media campaign could incorporate what UT teams came up with:
Blaze a Trail in Pflugerville!
Why? Because Pflugerville is a city with an uncommon name and uncommon potential. Join us in connecting Central Texas and serving our many pfamilies (or rooftops or homes, households, etc.).

Pfriends, ****************************** JANUARY 12TH PfCONA MEETING The January 12th, 7pm-8:30pm agenda includes: 1) Dialogue on PfCONA 2004 Priorities, Partnerships, and Plan 2) Community-building Reports 3) Mayor/Councilman/Chief Comments & Questions 4) Neighborhood Community Announcements Councilman Kurt Reece, Mayor Scott Winton, and Chief David Buesing will be present. The meeting is intended for city/ETJ neighborhood residents and leaders. Click here for past minutes of meetings (most recent to soon be posted). ****************************** The Holidays are behind us but the New Year is upon us. Bohl's, Springbrook, and Creekside sponsored Christmas decoration contests. PfCONA also sponsored a Christmas Decoration & Lights Contest. Click here for 2003 results on PfCONA website, including honorable mentions. Overall, there are homes recognized from 12 neighborhoods in the city and ETJ. Thanks go to Nancy Ramsey and Allegra Azulay from PfCONA and Belinda Beyer and Jill Marsh from Keep Pflugerville Beautiful for judging this year's contest. Gatlinburg, by the way, had a Halloween home decoration contest.
On the subject of homes, the Pflugerville Circle of Pfriends had their Tour of Homes on Dec. 14, beginning at the Pflugerville Country Gallery. More than 100 tickets were sold for $10 apiece, a bake sale was held, and a raffle of eight wreaths also raised funds (tickets were 2 for $5). Funds were raised for the Children's Hospital of Austin. There were five houses on the tour, all decorated for Christmas (such as the Bower home and Beyer home), with a welcoming committee for each one. You could go through the houses on your own. Next year the event will start at the Pflugerville Country Gallery again.
Helen Mary Marek with Creekside informed PfCONA that 1/2 of the 375 homes in Creekside participated in the Creekside Food Drive during December on behalf of the North Rural Community Center in Pflugerville. This was also Creekside's way of participating in PfCONA's NRCC Food Drive, which has involved neighborhoods rotating doing a food drive each month for NRCC. Helen Mary said over 1,400 food items were picked up. They had some neighbors help pick up food plus LOTS of help from the Cub Scouts of Pack 311,Girl Scouts from Troop 664, Boy Scouts from Troops 157 and 4277, and their family members and leaders. A resident who delivered the food to NRCC said the following to Helen Mary:
"I delivered the goods this morning at 8:15 to the new center which just opened 2 weeks ago, really nice building and facility, with separate offices for the health clinic and food bank. They had a long line of folks waiting for food requests in lobby, 12-15. A guy at the office helped me unload. They really needed the food, and didn't have a real large storage area. I'd estimate our donation matched 30%-45% of what they already had in stock. So we about doubled what they had on shelves. Our collection was a real eye opener for them."
Saxony is still raffling pool memberships for $1/ticket or $5 for 6. The raffle will be held on Feb. 5th just after its Feb. 1 Saxony Quarterly Meeting. Saxony is also doing $25 trial one month memberships for new members in May.
With a new year, it is time to recruit people like you to become part of the PfCONA network.
