There were three awards presented, first was an unsung hero award to Ann Neighbors for her tireless work organizing the July 4th activities for many years. Thanks Ann!
Second, another unsung hero award went to Dr. Leigh Naftolin for his extradinary efforts in the recent County Bond issue that garnered about $14 million in funding for Flintrock Road and Bee Creek Road. Thanks Leigh! I'm sorry, I don't have a picture of Leigh for the blog.
Citizen of the year was awarded to Jim Anderson for his volunte
er work for many years. The Anderson's moved here in 1990 and hit the ground running. Jim has been on many committee's and is currently Chairman of the City Building Commission. Thanks for all your service!Lights On! has been cancelled this evening because of the rain. The lights will be on and you are welcome to enjoy the trail but there will be no vendors and Santa won't be there. Its a shame, this year the July 4th fireworks were cancelled because of a lack of rain and now the Lights On! celebration is cancelled because of too much rain!

The Library is moving toward accepting a bid for construction of the new building. Currently they appear to be about $200,000 short of the funds necessary and are working to secure more donations and cut costs.

The funds raised go towards scholarships, projects and equipment for the police department and its employees. Please join them for this exciting evening of fun, food and festivities! Here is a link to more information and ticket information.
From Steve Jones:
It appears that our community has been the victim of cybercrime. Credit and debit card numbers of many residents (including Joe Bain, myself, and other city employees) appear to have been electronically “stolen” from patrons of Flores restaurant in the past few weeks and used to make purchases throughout the country. Police have no reason to believe that the restaurant had any involvement in or knowledge of the fraud. The owner has been very helpful in supplying information and evidence.
One of our officers sustained a head injury this week when responding to a call. He was attempting to free a deer from an iron fence and fell face first into the fence causing the wound and the injury required some stitches. Let's wish him a speed recovery!
We are experiencing intermittent problems with traffic signals on RR 620. The problem appears to be with the controllers. Fortunately, TxDot has been responsive and is working to resolve the malfunctions.
This week we installed “profile stripes” (pained stripes with bumps in them) on the double white striping separating the recreation lane from the street on Hurst Creek Drive at Explorer and at Plum. We are evaluating the use of profile stripes to help keep vehicles out of the rec lane in these two dangerous curves. Cost permitting, we plan to use more of this type of striping on other rec lanes.
The Lake Travis High School football team is still in the hunt for a record setting, fifth-consecutive state championship. The Cavaliers play Cedar Park tonight in the quarterfinal game at DKR Memorial Stadium at the University of Texas. Go Cavs!
