A new interlocal agreement between the city of Austin and Round Rock ISD will expedite permitting timelines and allow the school district to exclude turf stadiums from calculations of impervious cover. 

The agreement could save the school district a significant amount of money as it works its way through millions of dollars in bond-funded projects on campuses within the city of Austin. 

What you need to know: The 25-year interlocal agreement between the city and school district was approved at recent meetings of the Austin City Council and RRISD board of trustees in January. 

How it works: The interlocal agreement allows the school district to develop its property within the city of Austin in a streamlined administrative process. RRISD must still follow all technical codes, such as building and fire codes.

Urban Youth Park launched its first Texas location last month, bringing parkour, classes, birthday parties, camps and more to Cedar Park. The business began offering classes in mid-December as part of a pre-opening phase, gym director Parker Durant said. 

The background: Urban Youth Park founder and co-owner Jessica Funke Ho started the business after her son discovered parkour, according to the website. She built the first location upon learning there were no gyms in the area to fit her son's interest; she now has locations in five gyms in Texas, Florida and California.

What they offer: Urban Youth Park offers classes for children ages two and older, birthday parties, camps and a monthly kids’ night out event. Benefits of the classes include spatial and body awareness, balance, confidence, friendship building and team bonding, according to the website.

The grand opening: An official grand opening celebration is scheduled for Jan. 31 where kids and adults can visit the space for free.

The March 3 primary election is coming up, and so is the deadline to register to vote. Eligible Texans must register by Feb. 2 to cast votes in dozens of races, including 18 statewide officials, 38 members of Congress, 166 state legislators and various local seats, such as county judges and commissioners.

How to register: Texans must submit a paper voter registration application by Feb. 2. Applications can be mailed to their county elections office or delivered in-person.

To avoid delivery delays under new federal postmark rules, prospective voters may requests that mailed applications be hand-stamped at a local post office.

The big picture: Texas holds primaries for partisan elected positions at the federal, state, regional and local levels. Republican and Democratic primary voters will have a say in which candidates will represent their chosen political party on the November ballot, shaping who is ultimately elected to each seat.

In recent years, no more than one-fourth of registered Texas voters have cast ballots in primary elections, state data shows.
