"Back the Blue", More Bulbs, Law Suit Settled and More!

Happy Saturday!  I'm a little late on this posting - it's been a busy morning!  Things are moving forward with the "Back the Blue" campaign.  Yesterday I received a call from Kris Betts from KVUE TV asking about the campaign - she did an interview that was aired on KVUE last night on the 10 o'clock news.  Here is a link to the interview.  I was proud to talk about our outstanding police force!  We also talked briefly about the Copeland tragedy and the outpouring of support from the community with red and black ribbons in memory of Sean and Brodie.

I have been out this morning picking up more bulbs from Lowe's in Bee Cave - They have been outstanding supporters of the Back the Blue campaign - thanks so much to Lowe's, Jennifer and Stephanie. I got on the phone this morning and found "The Light Bulb Shop" on Burnet Rd. - I spoke with Kelly Mcgary there and she is supporting our cause also - drove over and picked up about 300 blue chandelier base bulbs.  They will be available for you to pick up at City Hall Monday morning.  I'm hoping to cover Lakeway with blue lights!  Thanks again to Lowe's and The Light Bulb Shop for their support!

We received work from our attorneys that the City was granted a Summary Judgement in the Cokins vs. the City of Lakeway law suit over the annexation of Brooks Hollow.

The City installed "in street" crosswalk signs on Highlands Blvd because of concerns from residents because of high traffic levels and high speeds.  Please slow down in the area and help us protect pedestrians in the area.

The City Staff is hard at work on this years budget.  Our first work session is next week on the 28 starting at 2 PM at City Hall.  I look forward to working hard with the Council Members to be sure we supply the services that are expected by our citizens at the lowest possible cost.  The meeting will be streamed on the internet.

Next week Lakeway Regional will present their Community Seminar Series - this edition will be on Water Safety.  Here is a link to more information.

That's all for now - please consider supporting the "Back the Blue" campaign - it is a GREAT cause and I know the police appreciate the support!

Have a great weekend, stay cool!
