Lakeway voters passed a new $23 million police facility project, voted City Council incumbents Bridge Bertram and Ron Massa into office, and renewed the city's road maintenance sales tax in the May 6 election. Results are unofficial until canvassed.

Incumbents Bridge Bertram and Ron Massa each secured 35 percent of the vote (1,145 and 1,134 respectively) while Tiffany McMillan earned 30 percent (1,006) in the Lakeway City Council election in which the two candidates with the most votes were elected to serve a three-year term.

Just over 50 percent of voters (1,062) cast ballots in support of Proposition 1 for the issuance of $23,065,000 in tax bonds for public safety facilities to include a new police facility project. Just under 50 percent (1,054) cast ballots against the proposition.

The new police facility will be at the corner of Lohmans Crossing and Lohmans Spur, across from the Lake Travis Community Library. For future updates on the project, visit www.lakeway-tx.gov/policefacilityproject.

Seventy-seven percent (1,597) of Lakeway citizens voted for Proposition 2 for the reauthorization of a 1/4% local sales and use tax to provide revenue for maintenance and repair of city streets. Twenty-three percent voted against the referendum.

This revenue comes from sales taxes; it is not property tax-based. The Tax Code authorizes cities to assess a special sales tax to fund maintenance of their streets and roads.

Of the 12,063 registered voters in Lakeway, 2,135 (18%) participated in the May 6 election.

RADM Judson Scott BiographyAdmiral Scott enlisted into the Naval Reserve in 1966 while in

college. Upon his graduation in 1968, he was commissioned and began Submarine School. He thereafter served three years with the Submarine Force in the Pacific. He qualified in submarines and served in various billets, including Operations Officer for his submarine.

He left active duty in 1972 to attend law school. After passing the bar in 1975, he re-affiliated with the Navy Reserve. He served in various assignments of increasing responsibility and was also competitively selected to command four different reserve units, each of which won awards for excellence and for their accomplishments.

Scott was selected to Rear Admiral in 1997. He served as Deputy Commander for the Submarine Force in the U.S. Pacific Fleet, then in the same role for the Atlantic Fleet, with concurrent duties as Director Submarine Reserve, where he was responsible for 95 reserve units across 35 states and all of the 3,300 men and women of the Submarine Reserve.

His awards include the Legion of Merit, the Defense Meritorious Service Medal and multiple awards of the Navy Meritorious Service

Medal and the Navy Commendation Medal. He retired from the Navy in 2001 after 35 years of service.

He had also practiced trial law since 1975 during his Navy service. He closed his law firm in 2009 to accept appointment as a United States Administrative Law Judge in San Francisco, where he heard and decided over 3,000 cases.

Scott retired from the bench in 2015 to move to their home in Bee Cave, where he lives with Ildiko, his wife of 46 years. They have two adult children.

The City of Lakeway’s Arts Committee will present The New Horizons Band in concert from 4 to 5 p.m. May 21 at the Lakeway Activity Center, 105 Cross Creek.

The band began in 1998 as part of an outreach program of the University of Texas at Austin Butler School of Music. The band continues to receive major support from the school and is very appreciative of the school’s promotion of music in the community.

This band also is affiliated with the New Horizons International Music Association, which has approximately 150 bands, orchestras and choruses throughout the United States, Canada and Ireland.

News from Lakeway MUDThe Highland Lakes Firm Water Customer CooperativeThe Highland Lakes Firm Water Customer Cooperative (the Co-

op) was formed in 2012 in response to Emergency orders by LCRA. Earl Foster, General Manager of Lakeway MUD, spearheaded the formation of the Co-op and has served as Chairman since inception. The Co-op is comprised of Cedar Park, Pflugerville, Burnet, Marble Falls, Leander, Lago Vista, Water District #17, West Travis County PUA, Hurst Creek MUD and Lakeway MUD. During the drought LCRA was working on the Water Management Plan for Lakes Buchanan and Travis. The Coop was there looking out for the firm water interests. This was a very public and political process. We are hopeful that the revised Water Management Plan will protect the needs of drinking water customers and prevent the Highland Lakes from being drained to dangerously low levels as we have seen in the past. The new plan raises the trigger levels for releases of water to downstream users, which keeps more water in the lakes. “The plan establishes three sets of operating conditions to determine the availability of interruptible stored water, which is primarily used by agricultural customers downstream (LCRA 2015).”

The Co-op is actively working on water related issues for the entire

area around Lake Travis. There were a couple of House Bills in 2015 that would have had a profound effect on the utilities in the area and The Co-op was able to work with the sponsor of the bills and keep them out of committee. This year has been challenging again with a couple of House Bills that would have a long lasting financial impact on water utilities. Although the work is not done, The Co-op is working to make sure they do not get out of committee. The Co-op is also working with TCEQ on a rule change. This rule will help utilities get credit on their water balance for beneficial reuse customers.

Stage 2 Watering Restrictions and Other Conservation TipsLakeway MUD will move to Stage 2 Restrictions effective May

1 thru September 30, which is twice per week according to the following guidelines:• For Odd Street addresses, Wednesday and Saturday are

irrigation days.• For Even Street addresses, Thursday and Sunday are irrigation

days.• Commercial customers may irrigate on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Relax. Enjoy some time off. While Lakeway Maids does the rest!

• Nowateringisallowedbetween10AMand7PM.The Board stresses that even though our conditions have improved

greatly we are facing the beginning of another hot Texas summer. During the hot summer months, we can lose up to 2,000 Acre Feet per day from our combined storage. The strong Southerly winds we are seeing combined with 90+ degree heat increase evaporation significantly. The increased usage also contributes to the loss of AF storage.

The Board encourages all residents and businesses to continue the good water conservation habits we have learned over the past few trying years. The citizens of Lakeway have been extremely cooperative during the past drought conditions, and we ask for that same conservation mentality as we go through the summer months.

Lakeway MUD notifies our customers when usage is considerably above normal urging them to check for leaks and/or equipment malfunctions. It is possible for the programmed instructions for sprinkler systems, pools, and water softeners to become distorted and cause unwanted water usage. We also receive tips from citizens, city employees, and others when running water or accumulations of water are observed, and we react immediately to the issue as solve it as quickly as possible. We also recycle all of our wastewater; after

being treated, it is used to irrigate our golf courses and public medians which prevents using fresh water for these purposes.

Everyone can help by doing their part; here are a few tips we can use:• Turn off all faucets tightly so they don’t drip; a dripping or

leaking faucet can waste up to 200 gallons of water per month! • Check all toilets frequently; a leaking toilet can waste up to

200 gallons per day!• Wait until the dishwasher and clothes washers are full to run

them; both appliances use a lot of water.• Limit use of garbage disposals; a lot of water goes down the

drain.• Encourage restaurants you visit to serve water only by request;

many glasses of full water are left on the tables.• Reduce your time in the shower by a minute or two; it’s

amazing how much water Lakeway would save if we all practiced this! We also have low flow shower heads available, so come by and get one (they are free).

Thanks again to all for your great conservation efforts over the past few years; let’s continue to practice good stewardship of our valuable resources! (Continued on Page 11)

Old Lakeway Septic SystemsLakeway MUD gets calls every week from individuals in Old

Lakeway whose houses are on septic tanks. Either their septic tank has failed, or they want to know about the possibility of a central wastewater system for other reasons. Sometimes leach fields may not be on the homeowner’s property. Some want to consider putting in a pool but don’t have room because of the leach field. In the next couple of months we are going to be working on an education program and survey to see if there is sufficient interest to warrant further investigation of the possibilities of offering a community wastewater system to the Old Lakeway (out of District) areas. We will keep you informed of our progress.

Cedar Pa rk resident Glyn Haynie will talk about his book 'When I Turned Ni n e t e e n : A Vietnam War M e m o i r ' a t the Lake Travis C o m m u n i t y L i b r a r y. H e s h a r e s h i s e x p e r i e n c e s about fighting an unpopular war

while serving in an Army infantry unit in 1969 at the age of 19. Veterans from all services have praised his detailed accounts and accurate descriptions of the life of a soldier in Vietnam. Haynie will speak at a “Reading and Book Signing” on Saturday, May 20th at 2pm at the library. Join us for this special event!

Around LakewayEVER WANTED TO DO SOMETHING NICE FOR A LAW

ENFORCEMENT OFFICER IN YOUR COMMUNITY?Why not buy them lunch? or breakfast? or dinner? This program helps you do just that.

Donate a few dollars to COMMUNITY BLUE MEALS and we arrange for restaurants in your community to pay for that meal when they visit. What a nice surprise. You can donate one time or automatically every so often so we can repeat the good deed more frequently. We have six (6) payment options to make it easy.

HOW IT WORKS. When we receive enough donations, we start an event at a community restaurant. The event runs Monday-Friday of a given week during the restaurant's normal operating hours. When a uniformed, on-duty law enforcement officer comes in to eat, the restaurant staff charges the meal to the program.

We will announce the event via social media, email and word-of-mouth the weekend before it starts.

Greg Racino, Vice President of Lakeway Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association ("LCPAAA") came up with the idea triggered somewhat by the wonderful response to the Blue Lights campaign. CommunityBlueMeals.org."

Longhorn Village Resident Brings Artwork to Lakeway

Artist Margaret Osburn’s paintings are on display now through June 20 at Lakeway City Hall Art Gallery, 1102 Lohmans Crossing.

The free exhibit may be viewed during regular office hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays at Lakeway City Hall, 1102 Lohmans Crossing.

Osburn was educated at Delta State University in Cleveland, Miss., and began serious study of art with Townsend Wolfe at the Memphis Art

Academy in 1963. Since then, she has studied with Elva Fairchild in Panama, Jack Perlmutter in Washington and various instructors at the Maryland College of Art and Design.

Her work has been influenced by extensive travel with her husband in the Foreign Service in Latin America, the Caribbean, Europe and the Middle East.

Although oil is her most frequent media, Osburn also works in collage, which is her favorite, acrylic, pen and ink and watercolor. She has taught classes in painting and drawing in the United States and overseas. The Pritikin Longevity Center of the Pritikin diet fame has 13 works by her on permanent display at its center in Santa Monica, Calif.

She has served as state president of the National League of American Pen Women in both Maryland and Tennessee and is a former president of Arizona’s West Valley branch of Pen Women.

In Sun City, Arizona, Osburn was a member of the Palo Verde, Lakeview and Vanguard art clubs and gave several college demonstrations at the Palo Verde group from 2006 to 2009. She also served as program chairman and president of the Lakeview Art Club and was on the calling committee for the Vanguard Group.

She has received numerous awards through the years, including ribbons in all Sun City annual shows at Bell Recreation Center.

She directed the Dreamweaver’s productions of “Steel Magnolias” and “Dark of the Moon.” Her work has been displayed at the local hospital, library, courthouse and Tennessee River Museum.
