From Steve Jones:
Public Works had a chance to test out the new paint/striping machine this week. It seemed to work really well. They repainted 15 “Rec Lane Only” symbols on Sailmaster from Lohmans Crossing to Rupen Lane that were badly faded. I look for them to do much more painting in the near future.
Dale DeLong also met with a Landscape Architect this week regarded the irrigation on the east end of Lakeway Blvd. He has requested a proposal for the cost of designing a possible new irrigation system on this section of the boulevard, which is in desperate need of an upgrade.
The City Court reports that on January 14, they implemented a new automated notification phone system to relieve the court clerks of the duty of contacting defendants regarding matters such as failure to appear, missed payment plans, and warrants. In two weeks, the system was available to clear 51 cases collecting $6,592.80 on fines and court cost, and 10 active warrants.
Mark your calendar. CAMPO is scheduled to hold a Mobile Meeting in the Lakeway City Hall auditorium on Feb. 19 at 6:00 pm. The purpose of the meeting is to present the results of the 2040 Transportation Plan. The new CAMPO director, Ashby Johnson, will make the presentation. We are honored that Mr. Johnson is coming to Lakeway to do this personally.

He was arrested for public Intoxication, failure to Identify and tampering with a government record. The subject was transported to Travis County Jail without incident.

• Sgt. Brown attended The Estate of Lakeway HOA Annual Meeting. He responded to questions regarding speeding deterrence efforts, National Night Out scheduling, and Neighborhood Watch programs.

• Det. Gavit created a public service announcement for local business to warn customers of possible Greendot and MoneyGram related scams.
• Detectives followed up on leads regarding the burglary that occurred in Rough Hollow. Detectives retrieved trail-cams, analyzing video/photos to determine if the cameras caught the suspects in the act. This case is still under investigation.
