Let's start with Steve Jones report first!
As previously reported, the First Thursday Brush Drop-Off Program will be reinstated starting in April. This will allow residents to drop off their yard waste (limbs and brush) at our Public Works center on the first Thursday of the month. Please don't trim Live Oaks from February thru June because of Oak Wilt.
Monday morning Steve met with Larry Weiz, General Manager of Austin Electric to discuss electric rates for out-of-city customers. He is attempting to have out-of-city customers excused from the 9.1% general fund transfer from the utility fund to the general fund. That, along with a franchise fee, will go a long way toward closing the equity gap.
Serene Hills Dr. between Flint Rock Road and SH 71 should be opened to traffic by noon tomorrow (Saturday). Posted speed limit will be 35 mph - there will be no light at the SH 71 intersection until TXDOT determines it is necessary.
Fuel cost is driving a slight increase in our solid waste service rate. the rate for the second quarter will be $50.70 compared to $50.19 for last quarter.
Steve is also working on getting our two projects, Bee Creek Road and Flintrock road improvements, included for funding on the Travis County Bond election. Flintrock Falls resident Leigh Naftalin is helping him with this project - Thanks Leigh!
