The Pageant of Flags ceremony was great and our Grand Marshal - Anna Brita Stevens was wonderful - her message was enjoyed by everyone there! Thanks for all the participation - Lakeway is endowed with wonderful patriotic folks and a great number of military - it makes this event even more special.
ZAPCO met in regular session Wednesday at 9:10 AM. Here it the agenda. There were two model home special use permits approved in Serene Hills and annexation and zoning approved for the next Council meeting. A SUP was also approved for a portable building behind City Hall to temporarily house several BDS functions. That will also come to council in July.
I met with a representative from SUN Radio - did you know Bee Cave had their own radio station? It at 100.1 on the FM dial - check it out - they are located in the Galleria.
Ray Miller (BDS Director) had a meeting with area builders and the HBA (Home Builders Association) on Wednesday also - it was well attended and I think they all agree that we are on course to better serving the builders and community.
Steve Jones and I attended the CAMPO meeting Wednesday (date changed for vacations) - it was the shortest meeting we have had. It was necessary to approve the TIP (Transportation Improvement Program) that had been discussed at several previous meetings.
We also met with a representative from Steiner Ranch on transportation issues - it was a good get together and we are all working to help improve the traffic in the area.
Our own Judge Madison did a ride out with Game Wardens on Lake Travis on July 4th. He observed how TP&W handles issues on the Lake. He makes sure he is also available for warrants if needed for blood draws on DWI arrests - Thanks Judge!!I've been informed that money has been raised to hire Dr. Tony DeNicola of White Buffalo Inc. to do a census / survey of the deer population in Lakeway. He is interested in looking at the possibility of working with the City to do deer sterilization in addition to the normal trapping and processing. Dr. DeNicola feels he can address overpopulation in areas where trapping is not an option - he feels a two prong approach would be more efficient, both trapping and sterilization. Of course a permit would be required allowing any other means of deer management - also, the current agreement is all fees would be paid by donations collected - in this case, the fees for the survey and about $1000 per deer surgery. With our current suspected population that could be in the neighborhood of $300,000 to $500,000.
