The big news of the week was the Council Meeting Monday evening. Here is the agenda and the results of the meeting!
The Oath of Office was administered to the re-elected Mayor and Council Members by Judge Kevin Madison. Thanks Judge Madison!
Bruce Harris was nominated for Mayor Pro Tem by Dee Ann Burns Farrell and seconded by Alan Tye and was elected unanimously by the Council.
A vote was taken for a resolution supporting the establishment of Vote Centers for Travis County Joint Election Day voting. This was passed unanimously. It means if adopted, you will be able to vote at any polling place in Travis County on election day - exactly as you do when early voting. It should make it much easier to vote!
The City's investment policy was approved as written. It has been updated to better reflect the current financial environment.
Item 9 was a public hearing to for areas considered for annexation. About 25 folks spoke in opposition of this annexation. Although all at the meeting spoke against the annexation, I have been getting many communications from other citizens that are in favor of this.
The next public hearing will be Monday, May 23, 2011 at 9AM in Council Chambers. I will post the agenda when it is published.
Council received an update from Counsel about a pending lawsuit against the City and Lakeway Airpark by Rene' Arredondo and the East El Paso Group.
The rest of the items were passed unanimously and included clean up work on some annexation areas, zoning those areas appropriately, and Subdivision and Development Ordinance Amendments.
The Consent Agenda was passed and included the minutes from April 18th and a Special Use permit for fireworks at the Lakeway Inn.
