From Steve Jones:

You should be seeing a new banner around the City about fire hazards. Here is what it will look like. Thanks to Rachel Wallace for a great job designing it!

The lot behind the Justice Center has been cleaned up after a complaint from a neighbor. Thanks to the City for being a responsible neighbor and setting an example for others.

The Village of the Hills is ready to install their 5-foot concrete sidewalk along the East side of The Hills Drive from their entrance to Lakeway Blvd., a portion of which is within our City limits. Permits have been issued and work should be complete within 30 days.

Shannon Burke reports we finished the fiscal year with 169 new house permits compared to 136 last year, a 20% increase! He also reports the site work and subdivision improvements for the hospital behind the Post Office were officially completed. We have no information on when it is planed to open.

Chief Radford reports that Officers Sam Smith and Chris Doles successfully completed their field-training and have been assigned to solo patrol - Congratulations! He reported that National Night Out was a successful project! He estimated 350-400 people attended seventeen different neighborhood meetings.

Andra Dearing reports "Viewpoints" will have their first meeting on Sunday, October 16, with Margaret Perry discussing how Opera has flourished for four centuries. There are tickets available, call the Activity Center, 261-1010.

The Activity Center is undergoing a redesign that includes painting and furniture upgrades. All the work should be complete by the end of the year. There will be an "Open House" after the work is completed!

The trail in the east Lakeway Blvd. median is virtually complete with the exception of the footbridge - it looks like it withstood the recent rain (hooray!!!!) except for the vehicle that ran across one part of the newly established trail. New signs have been installed at the intersections of Crestview/Lakeway Blvd., Duck Lake/Lakeway Blvd. and at the Heritage Center.
_______________

We had a GREAT rain didn't we! My gauge shows a little over 2 inches. Although this somewhat helps the immediate fire damage, it does little to help the current drought conditions. Water restrictions are still in effect - once a week watering as far as I can tell.

The Lakeway MUD will meet October 12 at 9:30AM. Here is the full agenda.

That's all for now!
