Happy Thursday, people of North Austin-Pflugerville! Here's everything you need to know to start today off on an informed note, shall we? Here's everything you need to know about what's happening in town today.

First, today's weather:

Mostly cloudy. High: 59 Low: 42.

Here are the top stories in North Austin-Pflugerville today:

  1. On Tuesday, Jan. 25, Pflugerville City Council approved a $133,214 professional services agreement with AGCM Inc. to cover various "needs assessment and programming services" for its new City Hall facility. AGCM will help the city establish "a budget, programs scope and milestones schedule for the project" and "coordinate communication between the city and potential builders." The project's goal "is to create a facility that will house several different city departments currently located in separate buildings around the city." It will be located at the northwest corner of FM 685 and Pecan Street and extend farther east to Main Street, "connecting the street with FM 685."

  2. Today, Jan. 27, Round Rock City Council will consider "a memorandum of intent from the city of Pflugerville to discuss feasibility of returning Round Rock's treated effluent wastewater to Lake Pflugerville." According to city documents, "the memo is a nonbinding agreement with no cost associated." Michael Thane, Utilities Director, said "We're not here to incur more costs...We're here to help our neighbor but also make sure it's right for Round Rock."

  3. The weekend is almost here and if you're ready for some plans, here they are! Six fun family-friendly events are taking place in Pflugerville and surrounding areas starting this Friday, Jan. 28 to Sunday, Jan. 30. From a dance festival to live music events and more, there will be plenty going on for all to enjoy! After all the fun, everyone will probably be hungry! Enjoy a good meal with the family "at a nearby barbecue, burger or brunch spot." Go with your friends to "your favorite restaurant for happy hour" or watch "the big game at a local sports bar." While you're at it, maybe you can find a new volunteering opportunity. Have a fun weekend! (Community Impact Newspaper)
