Memorial Day Program, Weeks News and More!

Don't forget the Memorial Day Program at Heritage Center, it starts at 10AM on Monday May 28th.  One thing about Lakeway, it's the most Patriotic City I know of - I hope you will come and honor our hero's.  Here is a link to more information.

Good News!  Officer Slade Fisher is at home recovering from the injuries he received during a pursuit.

Here is a link to the Activity Centers Information for June - Thanks Dallas!

Lakeway's Big Band Bash was professionally filmed on May 14 for inclusion in a documentary on ballroom dancing in Central Texas to be premiered at the next SXSW Film Festival.  Thanks Fred!

From Steve Jones:

Our Household Hazardous Waste grant was approved by committee and is recommended for approval by Capital Area Council of Governments and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.  The amount approved was $87,358, and will be a real help to establishing a permanent home for the HHW program.

We received news this week that the appellant in the North Brooks Hollow annexation lawsuit filed their brief with the appeals court this week.  Our attorneys now have 30 days to file our response, and then we will wait for the court to take action.

Recovery Ways has sent a letter appealing the denial of a permit and also the decision by ZAPCO and City Council to the Board of Adjustment.  The appeal was filed too late to enable the BOA to meet on the denial of permit (30 day limitation) and the BOA has no jurisdiction on City Council Decisions.

The City's Financial Advisor is working on refunding a portion of the city's outstanding general obligation bonds to take advantage of the currently favorable bond market.  There is a possible savings of about $300,000 over the life of the bonds.

Chief Radford and Lt. Ken Farr taught an anti-drug course for the 5th graders in the LTISD system.  The reviews have been very favorable!

Here is the Parks and Recreation Report compliments of Andrea Dearing, Director.  Thanks Andra!

Thanks for looking and hope to see you at the Memorial Day Celebration Monday!
