The Lake Travis Community Library closed on the property they will use for the new Library on March 3rd. Here is a link to the story in Community Impact! Congratulations!
Library District Board Member P.K. Chatterjee has requested the City call a Special Bond Election to raise $1 million dollars to for construction of the building. There will probably be a special Council Meeting called to address this issue.
Shannon Burke reported this week that a permit was pulled to remove the fuel tanks at the old Exxon station. I expect this is being done to make the property more marketable.
From Steve Jones -
The large banner at Blockbuster advertising their going out of business sale will stay for a while. The bankruptcy courts order supersedes our ordinance.
Chief Radford reports that inspectors for the Texas Best Practices certification program are reviewing our police department - if we pass, we will join a small group of departments with this prestigious state certification.
We learned this week that funding for our 911 Primary Service Answering Point is planned to be cut in order to save the state money. This will have severe implications for our police department's dispatching function including rendering our new dispatching system essentially useless. It will also compl;icate and slow down our ability to dispatch police officers. We are fighting this but if the Legislature continues on their current course we will lose the funding.
The City finished interviews for a new prosecutor this week. All of the candidates are well qualified and a difficult choice will be made next week and a job offer will be negotiated next week.
