As previously reported, work has resumed at the hospital site this week! It's moving along nicely now, the Medical Center submitted an application for building permits this week also - the plans nearly filled up the Building and Development office!
There is a plan to develop a private school here in Lakeway. A possible location is the Kids R Kids preschool site on RR 620. More soon on this I'm sure!
Martha Harris, a governmental relations representative for AT&T met with the City and told them AT&T plans to install new lines that will make it possible for them to offer U-Verse service to Lakeway residents - construction is planned to start in the third quarter of this year! This is good news, U-Verse is a GREAT product and I can't wait to try it out!
Moody's Investors Service is reviewing our bond rating (currently A1). The City hopes to maintain that rating and should have an official ruling next week.
The Mitchell lawsuit is moving along slowly. Out attorney filed and answer to the pleadings, moved the case to federal court, and denied any wrongdoing by the City or it's employees. A date for the preliminary hearing has not been set.
Pedernales Electric Coop has approved the new franchise agreement. It will be on the agenda for the next Council to review and take action on.
BDS indicates that 15 building permits for new homes were issued in February. This is half the number issued in 2007 but is an indication that we might have some steady growth throughout the year!
The Lakeway Census participation rate is 51%, the state is 46%, and Travis County is 42% - the National average is 52%. Get those forms filled out and turned in - you an I will be paying for the folks to come door to door.
The City will have a survey out next week with a few questions on cell phone use while driving. The City wants some insight on how the citizens feel on the issue!
