Busy Week, Public Works, BDS and Police Reports and More!

Another week has gone by, the weather still can't make up its mind and your City is busy working for you.

This week staff met with a developer who wants to build a new medical office building at Lakeway Medical Village (hospital area). This would be a 3 story with primarily medical offices.  This seems like a good fit for the campus, we'll see what happens.  

It looks like next week we will get construction costs for the proposed Police Station.  The building committee will meet with them to review the project and get the cost estimate.

The Friends of the Parks Annual meeting was last Wednesday and Mayor Pro Tem Dewight Haley represented me there.  He said the meeting was a wonderful opportunity to get to know some folks that work hard to make our parks better.

The Lakeway Rotary met Thursday and celebrated their 25th anniversary.  I was privileged to present them with a proclamation honoring their anniversary and service to the community.  They meet every month at High 5 on the 4th Thursday.

CBC met in regular session Wednesday - here was the agenda.  The height was approved on item 4 and 5-6 were granted with slight adjustments.  15 site inspections were completed with 13 approved.

We got a note from Bruce Byron (TxDOT) telling us they are working on a new timing plan for lights on 620.  It sould be implemented in September this year.

From Public Works:
This week Public Works fixed an area along the sidewalk at Lake Chandon that was eroding (pics attached).  We used concrete blocks as a wall and backfilled with dirt and laid some riprap rock on top.


We also re-installed a few of the lane separators on Lakeway Blvd @ Lake Chandon that were hit last week and replaced the "Yield-to-Ped" sign on Highlands Blvd.

Officers responded to a RR 620 S. grocery store in reference to a disturbance. Two male subjects were alleged to have been in an argument. One subject was located at the scene, the other had left the scene prior to officers arrival. The subject that was located at the scene, was issued a criminal trespass warning at the request of management. 

Officers responded to a Squire Street address for a disturbance call. Upon arrival, officers learned that an assault had occurred. One person was arrested for assault family violence and transported to Travis County Jail. 

Officers responded to a RR 620 N. restaurant/bar in reference to a disturbance call. Upon arrival, officers found that a customer had become aggressive towards employees of the business. Officers located the subject in the parking lot of the business. After a brief interview of the subject, he was arrested for public intoxication and possession of a controlled substance. He was transported to the Travis County Jail.

Officers responded to a Serine Hills address in reference to a suspicious circumstances call. Upon arrival, it was learned that a person had been sleeping in their car in the parking area. As officers checked on the welfare of the individual they found that the subject was wanted by authorities. The subject was placed under arrest for multiple warrants and transported to Travis County Jail. 


On February 3, at 300 at city hall we will be having a public retirement ceremony for our police K-9 “Orka”. The public is invited to join us for this occasion.

That's all for today - more as I find out.  Thanks to everyone for all the support, it's going to be a GREAT year!  If you would like to be added to my email list, please send a note to lakeway@bain.us and I'll get you added.
