Did I miss Spring? May is historically the wettest month, this year we fell short by a bunch! Plus the temperatures are way above normal. Lake Travis was at 664.71 and has dropped nearly a foot in the last 7 days and is about 5 feet below normal. Evaporation is playing a big role in this drop. Lets hope we get some rain to slow this a little. Maybe a front coming through this weekend?
There was a work session on Thursday evening to discuss commission and committees and their appointments. As far as I can tell, they did appoint 6 people to the engagement committee. Council Member Hennagin was the only one not to make an appointment. It turns out the city formed a similar committee in 2007 to work on civic engagement - even funded it. Not much data on what that committee produced.
The work session lasted about 3 hours and council discussed all the committees / commissions, and codified the way members were appointed. Here is a link to the video. They also formed a "Wildlife Committee" and reinstated the Parks and Rec committee.
Lots more going on at the Activity Center! Here's a link to all the info about what's coming up.
Friday the annual Quarter Century Club luncheon was held at the Activity Center. It was GREAT getting together with the folks that built this great city. Folks there that have lived in Lakeway for nearly 50 years. A big thanks to Peggy Point and the Heritage Commission for continuing to support this effort. Thanks to the city for seeing the value in recognizing the folks that worked hard to make sure the city was the best it could be. Nancy and I made our 30 year anniversary this year. Great place to live!
Don't forget...The Community Garage Sale in Lakeway is this Saturday at 105 Cross Creek in Lakeway TX 78734. Lots of beautiful treasures waiting to be discovered! 8am-12noon Saturday, June 2nd.

That's all for this week - it was a short one but busy at the city. I'm looking forward to the "Cold Front" expected tomorrow evening - maybe drop the temperature 3 or 4 degrees.
As always, if you want to be added to my email list, send a note to lakeway@bain.us and I'll take care of it.
