CAVS take FIVE, Council, Jones Report

The BIG news of the day - Lake Travis Cavaliers make state history by winning the State Championship 4A title for a fifth consecutive season! They beat Waco Midway by a score of 22-7. It was televised nationally and was a GREAT game! Go Cav's!

Council will meet Monday in regular session at 6:30PM. Here is that agenda.

Council will take up a sale agreement and some license agreements and easements with the Lakeway MUD. The Final Plat for Serene Hills Phase 2E will be considered. Revisions to the noise ordinance will be considered.

The other items addressing multifamily zoning in the Highlands has been postponed.

From Steve Jones:

Council Member Alan Tye has been working hard on a Hotel / Motel tax and organizing a Commission to administer the funds collected if the tax is approved. Thanks Alan for your work on this project!

Shannon Burke, Chessie Blanchard and I met with the developer of Serene Hills this week to discuss the final plat of Phase 2E. The big issues is driveways that directly access Serene Hills Dr. This item will be on the agenda at Council Monday evening.

Staff is working on a purchase and sale agreement for a portion of Rebel Park - if Council approves this, it will have to go to the voters for approval at the May, 2012 general election. This will be on the January Council agenda.

A petition has been received from the residents on Porpoise Drive to reduce the speed limit on the road to 20 mph. State law allows a minimum of 25 mph and this request will go to Council in January also.

There is still interest in the former Exxon station. One is a potential developer that wants to put in a standard convenience store and I recently had an inquiry from a resident just returning from Afghanistan that would like to set up an auto repair shop. More on that as I hear it.

The Lakeway Activity Center has been honored for the second year in a row for excellence in programming by the Learning Resources Network (LERN), an international association in lifelong learning. Here is more information on that award. Congratulations!

Lakeway Police participated in a multi-agency debriefing of last Friday's event at Lake Travis Middle School and High School. Many lessons were learned. and they will be improving some of their plans for such incidents.

That's all for now, I hope everyone is looking forward to a Wonderful Christmas and Holiday Season!
