Police Gala, ZAPCO, Veterans Day and MORE!

Looks like we missed the rain again this week - on to of that it appears the West Travis County Public Utility Agency (PUA) which serves part of Rough Hollow and the Highlands has a major waterline break that has forced implementation of Stage 4 water restrictions for some of Lakeway's residents.  Here is a link to more information.

We have a GREAT Police Department!  Let's support them by attending the Boots and Bling Police Foundation Gala - it is sponsored by Lexus and will be held at the Lakeway Inn this year - here is a link for more information and reservations!

We will be having two work sessions in the next few weeks to learn and discuss the possibility of a Performing Arts Center (PAC) and our Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).  We are trying to set up dates now and I will publish the dates as soon as I have them.  These will be informational meetings.

ZAPCO met Wednesday in regular session - here is that agenda.  Item 6 to extend the Site Development Permit for Towers of Lakeway was passed.  Items 7 through 12 were passed with no issues.  Item 13 was a proposed amendment to Article 6.05 "Short Term Rental Use" - there was some discussion and this was tabled until the next meeting.  This will also be on Council's Agenda for a first reading and discussion at the next meeting.  Here is a summary of issues that will be discussed.

I heard the contract has been let by Travis County for the Flintrock road Project - there will be a pre construction conference next week and construction should start by the end of the month.

Veterans Day is coming up soon, save the date, November 11, 2015 at 10:30 AM to honor our Veterans.  We have a GREAT speaker again this year, Fred Burton, vice President of Intelligence - here is his bio.

Lakeway Regional Medical Center is launching a "Stroke Program" that will provide our citizens with the highest care possible - here is a link to the full press release.

Are you a history buff?  Ronald C. White, author of A. Lincoln, will speak on "Abraham Lincoln 2015: Wisdom for Today" at the Lakeway Church Monday evening at 7:00 PM.  It should be enlightening!  Here's a link to more information.

Public Safety Day is coming up on October 17th.  Lakeway Police Department will join more than 16 agencies from Central Texas - 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.  Here's a link to complete info.  




Capital Area Metro Planing Organization (CAMPO) will meet Monday October 12, 2015 at the University of Texas Joe C. Thompson Conference Center at 6 PM.  Council Member Dwight Haley will join Steve Jones and I at the meeting.  Here is that agenda.
