Lakeway News!

Tuesday, December 14th, Travis County's Fire Marshall issued a Burn Ban because of the unusually dry conditions - this prompted Mayor DeOme to impose a Burn Ban for the City of Lakeway on December 15th.

You should start seeing our new Chevy Tahoe patrol cars - they are currently being outfitted and should be around town! Here is Officer Robert Latham and one of the new animal control pick-ups!

City Council will meet Monday evening at 6:30 PM. Here is the agenda. Council will be looking at a Development Agreement with Crosswater Yacht Club, several items will be addressed that relate to annexation of the Villas at The Hills, there is a request for a replat and zoning change for Highlands Phase 1, Section 2, and the Council will look at purchase options for public park purposes. It should be an interesting meeting!

It appears that sales tax receipts for October are down 7% from last year - Bee Cave receipts were up almost 10%.

A new restaurant has taken over the old Flores space - Santa Catrina features interior Mexican food like Manuel's or Fonda San Miguels. they should have opened for business last Wednesday - give them a try!

From Steve Jones:

Lakeway Police cleared a burglary case on fingerprint evidence last week - the suspect is in custody!

A project to remove rocks, boulders and construction waste between Lakeway Blvd. and Hayden Ridge is moving forward. Public works is cleaning and planting trees in this area.

Ramming Paving is almost finished with the street overlay project. They have completed everything except The Hills Drive and cleanup work.

So far this year 66 deer have been trapped. Trapping is on hold until after the first of the year to avoid conflicts during the holidays.

The Police Gala was a GREAT success! I will have more information about the funds raised later - the food, band and auctions were fantastic!

That's all for right now - more shortly!
