Weekly Update +

Hi everyone!  Another week has passed already - here's some news.

Time Warner is raising our rates - they notified the city and notices will be in the paper and here is a link to the notice sent to the City.  Time Warner

Councilmember Alan Tye has furnished a "white paper" from LCRA about the current and continued drought conditions.  Here is a link to that report.  LCRA Drought White Paper

The Holiday Inn has revised their plans for an Express at RR 620 and Oak Grove Blvd.  They moved the building farther for residents and removed the windows from that side of the building.  They will still need a variance for the height and will also need a zoning change from Commerical to Hotel / Motel.

Crosswater Yacht Club marina has completed a traffic impact analysis and will make a presentation at this months Council meeting.  They hope to convince the City that a marina will not have a deleterious effect.

Council will not take up a no-smoking ordinance until after the first of the year.  The December meeting will be on December 21st which is the normal scheduled date.

Staff met this week with the Developer of Rough Hollow to discuss the status of Highlands Blvd.  They will be stabilizing the slopes with a slanted "Tillman" wall and will be installing more landscaping.  Repairs and landscaping will take six to eight weeks and the road will not open until all is finished and accepted.

In case you didn't see the View or news, one of our officers, Steve Adams, was assaulted during an altercation at the Chicken express last week.  He was intervening in a domestic issue and was attempting to make an arrest.  He received only minor injuries and is doing well.  The perpetrator was arrested and last I heard was jailed with a $75K bond.  He is / was an employee of the restaurant.

Hope everyone has a GREAT weekend!!!

Thanks for LOOKING!
