Weekly Update

Here's the week at a glance!

The City Building Commission met on Thursday, Sept 24th.  They approved a variance into the front 25' setback on Capri.  With the topography, the fence will not be very visible and it didn't make sense to split the yard. A structure at 107 Javelin was determined to be a screening structure and was permitted with the addition of plantings covering a percentage of the structure.  A waiver was expanded at 414 Sunfish to allow siding on a remodel.  They inspected several homes for a final Certificate of Occupancy.

The budget was further massaged and revisions have been made for the Budget Meeting / Work Session that will convene on Monday at 2PM. 

Former Warrant Officer Deena Dorrheim-Maxwell has returned to work for the City as a part-time Warrant Officer on a temporary basis.  Judge Madison and Chief Bowers believe the position can generate enough revenue to pay for the cost of this position.  There will be a revenue-expense analysis done 90 days out and if it is positive, City Manager Jones will consider recommending unfreezing the permanent position.

Judge Madison (Municipal Court Judge) is considering running for Justice of the Peace, Hays County Precinct 4.  He has indicated that he intends to continue working with us as municipal Court Judge.

As indicated earlier, there is a Budget Meeting / Work Session scheduled for Monday, September 28th at 2PM Agenda.  There will be another meeting on October 5th to adopt the final budget and City tax rate.
