Council Results - October / Goblin Glow

We had a good meeting Monday night - a small crowd attended.

The first action item was to Approve Todd Radford as Chief of Police and the Council voted unamimously in favor of this.  Congratulations to Lt. Radford!  There will be an official swearing in ceremony in the near future.

Rudy Farwagi, District Coordinator of the PEC gave their Quarterly Update and presented a franchise check to the City for $68,018.  They also put out some of the new florescent light globes for attendees to pick up - see there is a good reason to go to Council meetings!

Our Treasurer, Al Tyson gave the Financial Report.  It appears we are doing well financially because of the hard work the department heads and their staff are doing to curtail expenses.  Thanks to all those helping during these challenging times!

The Mayor made a Proclamation naming this week Chamber of Commerce Week.  The Chamber works hard to improve the economic issues in the City and surrounding areas.

We adopted a Resolution opposing any change to the TCEQ rule prohibiting the discharge of treated effluent into the Highland Lakes.

Council voted to approve an interlocal agreement with Travis County providing for emergency services within the City of Lakeway.

Council approved a change to the Tuscan Village PUD clarifying maximum residential occupancies.

The golf cart ordinance was discussed again and was sent back for more revision.

And finally the Solid Waste Collection Ordinance was revised to include a deposit for new customers and corrections were made to the fee schedule.

The Goblin Glow was a HUGE success!  The weather was perfect for the balloons and trick or treat festivities and I understand about 125 stayed for the movie.  GREAT job!

It looks like customers of Pedernales  Electric will receive bill credits depending on their Capital Credits account on their November bill.  Watch you mail for more information on this!

I am trying to get a status on the Hospital construction or lack there of.  The original reason for the work stoppage was re-engineering  the electrical design and I have heard that is complete (a couple of weeks ago).  I will issue a special post if I get some new intel.

Thanks so much for all the support!  If you would like to be added to the new post notification list simply drop me an email to lakeway@bain.us
