More Drought, Council and More!

Bob Rose did an LCRA presentation about the drought and weather projected weather conditions for the next year - it really looks bleak. Here are the last couple of pages from that presentation - next year looks pretty dry!

The "Drug Take Back Day" results were fantastic! A lot of folks brought in unused prescriptions for disposal. Lakeway Police collected 127 pounds of prescriptions! Here is a chart that gives the results of other areas in central Texas.

ZAPCO met Wednesday morning - here is the agenda and the results of that meeting:
3. Permanent Signs were approved for Lakeway Highlands.
4. With some discussion, all of the Proposed Zoning for newly annexed areas was approved as proposed by Staff.
7-8 Pulled by developers. There is not much support for apartments being built in Lakeway.
9. The Amendment to address driving on lawns was postponed to allow Staff time to re-access ways of controlling a reported issue.

Lakeway MUD will meet Wednesday. Here is that agenda! Give it a minute, it takes a while to load.

City Council will meet in Special Session to approve appointment of counsel to represent the City in the matter of Cokins vs. Lakeway. Here is that agenda.

From Steve Jones:

Lakeway MUD notified the City that they can no longer supply the City reuse water for irrigation of road medians. The MUD has exhausted their supply of wastewater effluent and cannot supplement it with raw water because their raw water intake is no longer usable due to the low water level of the lake. Earl Foster thinks they may eventually be able to give us some water once a week. Commercial reuse customers are in much worse shape. There is no relief in site for them.

Deer have been trapped 4 times this year and so far 86 deer have been taken. This is typical for he first few weeks of trapping.

Chief Radford reports two new employees started this week - one dispatcher and one Officer - welcome!

LWPD assisted TCSO during the early hours of Wednesday morning with a burglary of a boat in progress at the Sail and Ski Marina. The primary suspect was apprehended and a second escaped but was identified. TCSO is following up!

Thursday afternoon LWPD assisted US Marshalls with the arrest of a fugitive who was in a vehicle on Lakeway Dr. The subject was apprehended without incident.

The City hoped to move the Liebelt log cabin this week but encountered more rock under the cabin than expected. They are making progress and hopefully will be able to move it next week.

Andra Dearing reports that the Lakeway Blvd. trail is now complete! I have already seen many folks enjoying the new trail and the City has received many positive reports on it.

Lake Travis plays Cedar Park tonight! They are so far undefeated for the season and are the favorite for an unprecedented fifth consecutive state 4A championship! Good luck Cavs!

That's all for now!
