CBC, Council, Police, ++

The CBC met in regular session last Thursday, here is the agenda and here are the results - Thanks Sally for the extra effort on the matrix!

Council met in regular session Monday, April 18. Here is the agenda.
Here are the results - it was a long meeting, please bear with me;

3. Two citizens spoke on issues on a foreclosed house on Rudder that has an unprotected pool and other issues - Building and Development is working on the issue and will attempt to resolve it and others more effectively.

5. The Lakeway Police Department was awarded a Certificate of Recognition by the Texas Police Chiefs Association. There are 164 required standards that our Department met. This is another example of our Police working hard to exceed expectations and do a GREAT job for our citizens! Thanks for the GREAT effort!

6. Mayor DeOme proclaimed the week of May 21-27, 2011, Safe Boating Week in Lakeway.

7. An ordinance adopting public hearing dates for proposed annexation hearings was passed. Properties included are some waterfront parcels (some submerged), parcels on Brooks Hollow Road, Flint Rock Road, and Pawnee Pass. Two individuals spoke against the annexation. The vote was unanimous passing the ordinance.

8. An Interlocal Agreement between the City and the Library District was approved. There was one issue on the agreement that will be worked out by both sides.

9. The Code of Ethics for the City was amended to include a section that was omitted when the documents were codified.

10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16. All of these items have to do with annexation, zoning and plans for Rough Hollow and The Highlands. It basically puts some property together, annexes it and zones it according to the development plan. Here is a link to the site plan for the Highlands Village amenity center.

17. The Code of Ordinance Amendment was passed with one caveat. There is a section on heights where additions must seek a height from CBC in sections that have overall heights granted that will go to the City Attorney for an opinion on if it is enforceable.

18. The FY2011 Budget was amended. This included accounting for monies donated to the police for purchase of a motorcycle, monies to pay for fencing per an agreement made with The Hills of Lakeway, and court funds transferred to cover additional salaries for the new prosecutor.

19. The City of Lakeway Comprehensive Fund Balance Policy was approved.

20. Council went into Executive Session and discussed several properties for possible purchase for public parks use. No action was taken.

From Steve Jones:

Work has resumed at the old Exxon. Soil samples came back clear and they are filling in the excavations.

Serene Hills drive has been accepted by the City. The potentially dangerous turn lane situation was corrected. See photo 1 and photo 2.

From Shannon Burke: Medical Parkway, the major drive at the medical center has been paved. P Terry's construction has started and they are moving forward. A permit was issued for demo on the Wunneburger Tract - the historic buildings will not be demoed and there is no development planned - they are just clearing away old structures.
