Council Results

Council met in regular session Monday evening - it was an eventful night.

Al Tyson, City Treasurer, reported that we are under budget on expenses and over budget on income. Good start to the fiscal year!

This was the first public hearing on the proposed annexation of the Villas at the Hills. Two gentlemen spoke against the annexation, the major point of the HOA representative was the feeling that a contract the City was party to that involved the formation of The Village of The Hills and therefore the Villas is somehow violated.

Next a development agreement between the Crosswater Yacht Club and the City was discussed by the developers. There was a lively and contentious discussion with much opposition of the marina from Graveyard Point residents. Although there were several legal issues raised by residents, per the City Attorney, any agreement with the developer by the City will have no effect on any ongoing legal cases.

Two gentlemen in the audience were escorted out of the meeting room by police after they continuously disrupted the proceedings.
As far as I can tell, this was the first time this has ever happened.

In executive session, the Council was briefed on the Crosswater issue, the creation of a Groundwater Conservation District, and the lawsuit brought against the City by East El Paso Medical Group.

After the meeting was reconvened, the Food Service and Food Products ordinance was amended to reference the County and State laws.

Resolution 2010-11-15-01 was approved that cast the City's vote for Mr. McCool to represent the area as representative of the Travis County Appraisal District.

And finally, the consent agenda was voted on approving minutes of the last two meetings and appointed Lew Carlson as Member of the Heritage Commission - Congrats!

That's all for now!
