Speed Change, Council, Blood Drive, Steve Jones Report

Enjoy the drive! The speed limit is now 35 on Highlands Blvd. Although its only 5 mph, it makes a big difference when driving that way.

Don't forget to check out the link in the upper right of the blog with the July 4th schedule!

City Council will meet Monday, June 20, 2011 at 6:30PM. Here is that agenda. As you can see, it will be a busy evening! The mayor plans to ask for a motion to delay the final vote on North Brooks Hollow until September 19, 2011 to allow discussions and revisions to current ordinances.

There is another Blood Drive scheduled for Saturday, July 16, 2011 at the Activity Center for 8AM till noon. To schedule an appointment, call Searcy Willis at 261-9055 (hm) or 799-5714 (cell). The Lakeway community always plays a significant role in meeting the needs of the community! Thanks You!

From Steve Jones:
Capital Area Council of Governments (CAPCOG) has revised their budget plan and have included funding for 1/2 of our 9-1-1 PSAP service for the next two years. It appears that the County is considering funding the other half - this is GREAT news!

The site plan for the Holiday Inn at RR 620 and Oak Grove Rd. has been approved and the building plans are in the process of being reviewed. A site plan has also been approved for Discovery Point Phase II - this includes an office building behind Mizu's restaurant.

The City will be putting up banners and signs to remind residents that fireworks are illegal in the city limits. Because of the dry weather and heightened fire risk Travis County is restricting fireworks in the whole county.

More as I find out!
