There will be a Public Outreach Meeting June 30, 2011 at 7:00PM at the Lakeway City Hall to inform residents and ask for support for the County Bond that will improve Flintrock Road and Bee Creek Road between Highlands Blvd. and Hwy 71. Here is a flyer with more information about the meeting. Please join us!

CBC will meet in regular session Thursday at 9:00AM. Here is that agenda.

Council met this evening - here is that agenda. Results follow.

Citizens participation had a surprise - the Summit / Rotary had a pancake sale and put someone out on the street to advertise the event. There is an ordinance prohibiting that and they were not allowed to continue.

The Financial Report given by Treasurer Al Tyson was GOOD news! We are $130K above revenue projections (property tax, sales tax, fees) and expenses are $488K below budget for a net of $618K in the green! A big thanks to all the departments that are holding the line to make this happen!

Detective David Davis was honored for 20 years of service to the City of Lakeway and was presented a pin and plaque by Mayor DeOme. Here is a link to the write up from Chief Radford. I would like to personally thank Detective Davis for his hard work!

Mayor DeOme proclaimed the month of July, 2011 Parks and Recreation Month in Lakeway. Here is that proclamation!

Item 7 was addressing the annexation that the City has held three public hearings on. This evening Council voted to annex items a through f and g (North Brooks Hollow) was postponed until the meeting of September 19th to allow staff to address issues in the Cities ordinances.

A lease agreement was approved with the Lake Travis Community Library District for a ground lease. Since the City is holding partial ownership in the building for collateral on the bond, the bond attorneys required this document.

Enterprise Rent-A-Car was granted a Special Use Permit to operate a facility at 2300 Lohmans Spur.

The Special Use Permit for Rough Hollow Yacht Club was postponed at the request of the applicant.

There was an amendment passed for the sign regulations to allow more detail on directional signs for builders of large (100+) subdivisions.

An amendment was passed to the Zoning Ordinance pertaining to the time period required between similar applications on the same property.

Item 13 reallocated available funds to allow new landscaping to some intersections of the City. Andra Dearing, Director of Parks and Recreation is working to bring our decor into the 21st century. The pictures were GREAT and I can't wait to see it in real life. The first intersection will be Lakeway Blvd. and Lohmans Crossing. Keep your eyes open!

In the consent agenda, Council approved the Quarterly Investment Report, William Hawkins was appointed Heritage Commission Member, Don Stevenson was appointed Board of Ethics Member, Tom Armstrong was appointed LMUD Community Advisory Committee Member, and the minutes of the May 16th and May 23rd meetings were approved.

Thanks for the support!
