LIONS CLUB ANNUAL COAT DRIVE

The Marble Falls Noon Lions Club has kicked off its Annual "COATS FOR KIDS" drive and would greatly appreciate any donations of coats from the public, for children (Size 0 thru school children sizes). There is a need for caps and gloves too. The Lions Club typically distributes about 600 coats per season at no cost to deserving families. You may leave your new or gently used coats, caps and gloves in a special box located at the Meadowlakes security gate and other businesses in Marble Falls.  These coats are for the Marble Falls area and help children that would not have a coat without your generosity. 

 

Thanks to the generous public that donate coats and money to buy some of the new coats that are distributed.  

 

This is the 30th Anniversary of the Marble Falls Lions Club and your support is greatly appreciated so that they can continue to help others!

MAYOR'S CORNER

What a great turnout for the Annual POA meeting this past Saturday morning! When I woke up to all of that rain and wind, I was afraid it would have to be canceled, but the skies cleared and the citizens appeared. I'm sorry I had to leave early, but the 95 meals on my Mission Outreach route needed to get delivered, and there was no one else to do it this past Saturday.

 

I made two significant errors in my last Mayor's Corner...and only one person let me know! Thank you Franzella!!!  Hidden Falls is the site of the monthly meeting of the Highland Lakes Service League on the second WEDNESDAY (not Tuesday) of each month. I was getting ready to attend when I was writing down the wrong info! And the Republican Women hold their luncheon meetings the second THURSDAY of each month...not Wednesday.

 

We had great attendance at the City Council meeting last night. Input from our citizens really helps. We are planning to send out a survey within a few weeks regarding policing in Meadowlakes. Your responses will be an important part of the decision making process.

WATERING RESTRICTION EASING
On September 9th, the Meadowlakes City Council Workshop, City Manager, Johnnie Thompson, reported that the citizens of Meadowlakes have done an exemplary job by meeting and exceeding the water savings targets.  Due to overwhelming response by the citizens, water usage has actually decreased by 38%.  As a result, effective immediately the City will be easing water restrictions to allow for one additional watering day per week.  The watering schedule is as follows:

Residential:  

Odd number addresses: Wednesdays and Saturdays

Even number addresses: Thursdays and Sundays

 

Commercial: (including large landscapes) Tuesdays and Fridays

 

Watering Hours: Midnight to 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. to midnight.

 

An advantage in the twice-a-week watering is that it would reduce the wasting of water by minimizing the need and frequency of flushing fire hydrants.  The City has received several calls recently regarding the taste/odor issues with our potable water, which would normally require the flushing of the lines via use of a fire hydrant.

 

The City Council will review the water consumption again at its regular meeting on October 14th.
