Weekly Update, Upcoming Events+

Let's start out with the agenda for the Council Meeting Monday night. Here is a link. The main items are a petition from Kay Sconci requesting Travis Oaks Trail be included in the City of Lakeway's 3 year plan for annexation. This is the same type of petition presented by North Brooks Hollow by Steve and Anita Cokins. Council will address this petition at the Council Meeting Monday.

The Council will also address the question of annexation of several areas.

And finally, Council will address modification of the Health and Sanitation ordinance clear up issues allowing code enforcement to handle certain issues in addition to police officers.

In other news, the City was served yesterday with a petition for a lawsuit by Steve and Anita Cokins regarding annexation of their property and the Brooks Hollow neighborhood.

From Steve Jones:

Lakeway Civic Corporation approved funding of $20,277 that will be combined with the Craftsman Grant and money available from the Heritage Center Fund to relocate and restore the Liebelt log cabin near the City Hall. This will be a GREAT addition to the area and will preserve this part of the area's history. Thanks!

The Lakeway MUD board of directors voted to sell their vacant lot at 129 Schooner to the city for $30,000. Since this price is slightly higher than previously approved, it will be brought back to the Council for approval. This conveyance would also include an easement for the proposed bicycle trail in Hamilton Greenbelt and a license for a trail adjacent to the MUD's large effluent storage pond on Highlands Blvd.

Our first wildfire ad was published in this weeks View. We have another ad that will be published in next week's paper. Banners will also be posted next week.

The City's total sales tax receipts for last month show a 15.4% increase over the same period last year and a 11.1% increase year to date.

Chief Radford reports we are up to 29 sworn officers beginning this weekend and our newest officer will start work on November 1st. The police will support Goblin Glow this weekend and will be gearing up for Public Safety Day on October 22. The Drug Take Back day will occur on October 29. Personal video cameras are being assigned and should be in use. The department is stepping up enforcement of speeding and cell phone use in school zones.

That's all for now!
