A little toasty outside isn't it! Looks like a HOT weekend of celebration - lots of hot dogs, hamburgers and ice cream. I hope everyone will attend the annual July 4th parade Monday morning - it starts about 8:30 at the Live Oak Clubhouse on Lakeway Dr. and ends up at the Activity Center. After the Parade, the Pageant of Flags will be held in the Activity center - Lakeway Dr. closes to thru traffic about 7:30 am and will open back up right after the parade ends. Here's a link to more information - see you there!
The Lakeway Activity Center has lots of things going on right now - please follow this link to get all the scoop - it looks like they are really going to be busy over there with a bunch of really fun events!
ZAPCO meets next week on July 6th at 9:10 AM. There are a couple of annexations of property in the Highlands - nothing that will be too controversial. Here is a link to the agenda.
The Justice Center Committee met this morning to work out the process and schedule we will need to follow. There will be a status report at the next Council meeting - basically we are looking at costs of construction on the two primary sites and sending out an RFQ (Request for Qualifications) for both a contractor and an architect. More on this soon.
you've probably heard about the Zika virus - the City has had discussions with the State Department of Health Services regarding prevention. Here is a link to a paper from them. Public Works is constantly treating any standing water in public places, please make sure your property has no mosquito breeding spots!
We had a meeting of the Emergency Management group Thursday at the Lake Travis Regional Medical Center. They are graciously supplying the room and facilities for the areas use in case of a serious emergency. We are planing a "table top" exercise in the near future to make sure everything is ready. Thanks to Terry Browder for making sure this operation stays on track!
An engineering firm, working on behalf of TxDOT, requested a letter of support for a grant application. The firm is seeking funding to remotely connect traffic control signals on RM 620. If successful, this could be the first step in installing an intelligent traffic signal system that could make real-time adjustments to accommodate changes in traffic volumes and flows.
Andra Dearing reported an incident of vandalism at the swim center. Someone broke into the facility and redirected the evaporator, which sprays water into the air in order to cool the water. The vandals turned the spray away from the pool and almost emptied it of water. The pool should be refilled and back in service tomorrow morning, if not sooner. A report was filed with the police department.
We have hired a consultant to bore test holes on Hurst Creek between Lohmans Crossing and Lochan Ora - we will use the results to design a repair program.
