The Fireworks Feasibility Committee had their first meeting Tuesday. Lots of good ideas and hopefully they will come up with a viable solution!
The ZAPCO meeting was rescheduled to August 16th because of an issue with published public notice. It will be the first meeting at the new 6:30 p.m. time. Here is a link to the agenda.
It appears the Sports Complex made it into the County's bond package. They have not decided whether they will put the bond on the November ballot or wait until May. My concern is it appears funding would not be scheduled for this project until 2021. That is not acceptable in my opinion - this project was one of the top rated items by the committee. Why the delay?
Monday the 21st will be a busy day. We will have a budget workshop at 2:00 p.m., a workshop at 5:30 p.m. with a presentation by developer HSD-Lakeway on the mixed use development on the current MUD property commonly referred to as "City Center". Council will meet in regular session at 6:30 p.m.
Here's the latest from the Chief:
LPD Officers conducted 174 traffic stops, responded to 9 alarm calls, responded to 15 animal calls, responded to 8 collisions, answered 15 suspicious circumstances calls and handled 89 other types of calls for service for a total of 310.
Routine traffic stops resulted in the following charges; Out of Jurisdiction Warrant X 1 and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia X 2.
The animal protection officer responded to a RR620 N. business in reference to a dog at large call. Upon arrival, it was learned that two dogs were found loose on RR 620 and the store owner brought them into the store for their safety. Neither dog had a tag or microchip, both were transported to Austin Animal Shelter and turned over to their staff.
Officers responded to a Serine Hills Drive address in reference to a runaway. Officers learned that the complainant’s teenaged son had ran away. Officers later located the teen at a friend’s home. He was transported home and released to his father. No charges were filed in this case.
*** UPDATE *** Detectives were assigned to investigate a report of a Disturbance that occurred in the 1300 block of RR 620 South.

Detectives obtained video footage of the incident and were able to positively identify the suspect. During an interview with the suspect, the suspect confessed to stealing the victim’s card with intent to use it fraudulently. Detectives were able to obtain an arrest warrant (Credit/Debit Card Abuse, a State Jail Felony) for the suspect. After posting a “wanted poster” on the LPD’s Facebook site, Detectives received a tip on the suspect’s location. Detectives were able to track the suspect down to a residence in Apache Shores, where she was apprehended.
*** UPDATE *** Detectives were assigned to investigate a Theft of a Firearm that occurred in the 100 block of Tamarac Court. According to the victim, his firearm was stolen from his rental vehicle.

Detectives received the report from the Arkansas City Police Department (KS) after the victim discovered an unauthorized transaction on his checking account. Detectives have been able to obtain video footage of the incident and observed the suspect using several cards to complete the transaction. Detectives were able to determine that the gift cards purchased by the suspect were redeemed the next day in Virginia. A “BOLO” was sent to the Austin Regional Intelligence Center, but detectives have been unable to identify the suspect. The case has since been suspended pending suspect identification.

Detectives communicated with Travis County Sheriff’s Office Lake Units and LCRA in an attempt to locate the watercraft. Several days later, the victim informed detectives they had been informed the jet ski was located and recovered at a dock on Lake Travis. Detectives have been unable to identify a suspect in the case, and the case has since been suspended.

=====================
Another event is coming up Monday the 21st. There will be an eclipse of the sun visible from here. Although the total eclipse is not visible - it will be about 60-65% coverage here between 11-3. Be careful and don't look at the sun without special glasses, it can permanently damage your eyes.
That's all for now. If you would like to be added to my email list send a note to lakeway@bain.us and I'll get it taken care of. Thanks for all the support and the interest!
