Week's Happenings, Budget, CAMPO and Police Report!

Happy Friday!  It seems the weeks are gone before I know it anymore.  Thanks to everyone that attended the "Meet & Greets" for Representative Paul Workman and County Commissioner Gerald Daugherty!  Their success is our success!

As far as my week - Monday Steve Jones, Chessie Zimmerman and I met with Emily Lubbers and Geoffrey Tahuahua of the Home Builders Association of Greater Austin.  It appears "The Peninsula" in the Highlands will host the 2017 Parade of Homes.  Looking forward to it!  

I had a meeting with the Lakeway MUD to talk about the sale of the 82 acre property and their thoughts on the development.  

Steve Jones and I had a meeting with representatives from the "Citizens Advocates for Lakeway Deer".  They contend they have a signed petition but have not presented it for certification to the City Secretary.


Chessie Zimmerman and Julie Oakley looked closely at the revenue budget for this year.  We are nearly half way through the fiscal year and our projections are looking good.  We should out perform budget on Sales Tax and BDS fees will meet projections.

To end Monday, Steve Jones, Dwight Haley and I attended the CAMPO meeting where the Board passed an amendment to the 183 North project that increased the costs of the project with additional lanes and connections to US 183, Hwy. 45 and Loop 1.  The project will be funded by tolls.  We also viewed a presentation on Automated Cars and how they might affect future transportation.

The rest of the week was spent working on the details of the upcoming Council meeting.  This meeting will be on Tuesday because of the holiday.  Here is that agenda.  The backup data can be found here.  No real controversy on the agenda that I foresee although there are a lot of items.

Today Judge Madison conducted court with a docket of 73 cases including one trial by judge case. 

CBC met Thursday in regular session - here was the agenda.  Item 4 was a fence variance that was approved and item 5 was a waiver for a driveway design issue that was denied.


The Austin Bella Corda guitar ensemble is scheduled to perform from 4-5 PM March 13 at the Lakeway Activity Center.  Here is a link to more information.
