There have been numerous posts on jhrobak's listserve of loose dogs on the Greenbelts. If you are molested by a loose animal on one of Lakeway's greenbelts, simply call the police and report it. Posting on an email list does little good. I have been unable to find many reports.
Lakeway MUD will hold a Special meeting Wednesday, September 29th at their offices. Here is that agenda.
The Blood drive was a success and 67 units were collected! Thanks to all the participants for their donations!
An observant resident's report helped Travis County Sheriff's arrest a man caught burglarizing a vehicle in the Hills. Personal belongings from two other vehicles were found in his possession!

From Steve Jones:
The Board of Aldermen of The Village of The Hills unanimously approved our ETJ exchange agreement at a meeting Thursday morning.
There was a meeting with James Finck, President and CEO of the YMCA of Austin, the City and Marie Ellis (a Lakeway resident and YMCA volunteer). There is some interest in establishing a YMCA in Lakeway and the City will be looking further into that possibility!
The street overlay program's contract with Travis County Road Maintenance should be awarded in the next couple of weeks - contractors will begin work shortly thereafter.

Another developer is showing some interest in the old Lakeway Exxon station. He is looking into a smaller station convenience store.
