From Steve Jones Weekly Report:

Carrie Burns has identified two new oak wilt centers, one on Palos Verdes and one on Indian Bend Drive. Please follow all the oak trimming rules and lets try to keep our oaks healthy!

Greg DeLong reports we currently have 22 homes repossessed and 22 others that are in the process of being sold by the lender. This accounts for about 1% of our housing stock and is about normal for Lakeway.

Our new Financial Manager, Julie Oakley has prepared RFP's for our local banks. State law requires we publish notice and the city wasn't able to get it in the paper in time for the May 17th Council meeting. It looks like there will be a special session this month because the current agreement expires June 1st. More on this as it happens.

Last year the City purchased a new computer aided dispatching software system for the Police Department - it turns out the new system is unsatisfactory and after continued efforts with the vendor the City will need to change the system. Hopefully arrangements can be made for a refund that will pay for a new system.

The City Staff is working on a "short term" rental ordinance and expects to have a draft in a few weeks.
