MAYOR'S CORNER
| |  Greetings! August 29th is the deadline for Meadowlakes residents to submit an application to serve on either the: - Planning & Zoning Commission (meets once a year to get organized - and thereafter, only if a zoning change is requested...which is rare in Meadowlakes these days) - three vacancies
- Building Committee (meets twice a month to review proposals to build new homes, pools, fences, etc. - and then follows up to be sure all city requirements are met) - four vacancies
- Meadowlakes Public Facility Corporation (PFC) Board (usually meets at least once a month and is responsible for oversight of the management of the Hidden Falls Golf Course and Restaurant) - three vacancies.
I know we are all busy with our families and other responsibilities, but the City needs qualified residents to step up! If we don't have enough applications by August 29th, we can extend the filing period...in hopes that after Labor Day, everyone will be back from vacations, etc. and ready to get to work to keep our City on track! Marble Falls High School's first home football game is this Friday night, against longtime rival, Burnet. We have several players living in Meadowlakes, along with band members, cheerleaders, drill team members, etc. The games are great fun - and the view from the home team side of the field is always gorgeous. Support our team!
