Need some Help, Week's Report, Drought

I normally don't use this blog to further charities but this is one of the exceptions. Our Assistant City Manager, Chessie Blanchard-Zimmerman and her husband Tracy are working to support the Green Beret Foundation. Here is their website. Please check out the site and help them help the troops and their families. I appreciate your generous support!

City Building Commission meets next Thursday at 9AM. Here is that agenda.

The Mayor and Assistant City Manager met with representatives of North Brooks Hollow and went over the revisions to the R-6 zoning ordinance. Hopefully most of the concerns are being addressed.

There was a meeting of the Hills POA and Flintrock Falls residents over traffic involving Jack Nicklaus Drive. It appears there are several opinions on how to handle the issues but not much agreement on any solutions. For now it appears that no cut through for either The Hills Residents or Flintrock Falls residents will be allowed!

The Men's Breakfast Club's speaker was Bob Rose, the LCRA meteorologist. His outlook was not very positive. It appears without some relief our area will be moving to Stage II restrictions. This could mean watering our yard only one day a week!

I notice that all of our medians are looking poorly because of the drought and the City has many of trees that are in a stressed condition. In contrast, the new plantings and beds around Lohman's and Lakeway Blvd. are a real improvement to the area landscape!

Thanks for all the support. Please email me if you would like to be added to my email list that I send out when blogs are posted. Stay cool and pray for rain!
