Today the Quarter Century Club of Lakeway had their annual get together at the Activity Center. This is the 13th annual meeting since the Club was started in 1999. Here is a link to the Homeowners News with a write up of that first gathering! This a unique subset of Lakeway individuals - one has lived here for 46 years!
CBC will meet next week in regular session on Thursday at 9AM. Here is that agenda.
Lakeway MUD will meet on Wednesday 6-8-2011 at District Headquarters for their monthly meeting at 9:30. Here is that agenda.
The new Sears store in Lakeway on 620 is sponsoring a Craftsman event called "Finding America's Treasures" today, June 4th. The owner, Greg White, wrote an essay about the Liebelt Cabin (located on the old Wunneberger homestead) and won a $2500 grant for the preservation of the cabin. The grant check will be presented to the City at 11AM.
Appraisers will be on hand to review one item that you may bring to show them. Hidden treasures such as vintage Craftsman tools, historic signs and bicycles will receive a professional opinion on what they are worth!
Here is a link to the April Parks and Rec report. It shows what the department is doing to make life better in Lakeway! Thanks Andra!
From Steve Jones:
The City received the Comptrollers Gold Leadership Circle Award for the second year in a row! This is given to agencies that provide superior financial information to the public. Thanks to Julie Oakley and her department for helping the City maintain this level of quality!
The Hazardous Wast Event was a success! 545 vehicles came through, 65,104 lbs. of hazardous waste was collected. We even got a not of appreciation from one person!
Signs have been ordered to increase the speed limit on Highlands Blvd. from 30 to 35 mph.
Shannon Burke reports that Paul Duncan had a pre-construction conference with the Holiday Inn contractor and the site plan permit is close to being issued.
Shannon also reported that we have hired a new code enforcement officer. Welcome Rowdy Salazar! Rowdy will start June 20th.
The developer has scheduled a ribbon cutting for Serene Hills Drive next Thursday at noon.
Chessie has been working with the City Attorney to develop ordinances that will allow the City to control locations of any seually oriented business and prohibit the sale of substances that are being used in the same manner as illegal drugs.
Paul Workman advised us that he was unable to amend the state's budget bill to include funding of our 9-1-1 PSAP system. However there is another effort underway to fund all PSAP's. We are optimistic that funding will ultimately be approved.
That's all for now! See you at Sears!
