A resolution was passed supporting a prohibition of floating inhabitable structures on Lake Travis.

A resolution was passed declaring the results in the Bond Election.

This was the second of three public hearings on the annexation of several areas in Lakeway's ETJ. Several people spoke on their concerns for the annexation of North Brooks Hollow.

A meeting was held this week where solutions to many of the concerns were discussed with several of the residents of North Brooks Hollow and Mayor DeOme, Bruce Harris, Dennis Wallace and City Staff.

Judge Madison has reduced the Court Bailiff staff to one from two. This appears to be a decision based on costs. If there are issues, the Judge can ask for increased support.

Judge Madison sent us a breakdown of court monies and where they go - here is that breakdown - the City gets only a small portion of proceeds.
