MAYOR'S CORNER
| |
Greetings!  I am glad I picked this time of year for foot surgery - it is too cold and dreary for long walks with my dog or to work in the yard, so it is much easier to follow my doctor's orders and stay indoors! I just reread what I wrote last week...the surgery was on my RIGHT foot, not my left foot - or I would probably be breaking the rules and driving by now. I am NOT a good patient. If you are interested in running for City Council, the deadline for filing the necessary paperwork is this Friday, Feb. 27th, at 5:00 PM. If you have any questions, call City Secretary Christy Fath at City Hall (830-693-6840). It is a two year term. This year, three council members are up for re-election. Next year, it will be the mayor plus the other two council positions. Mary Ann Raesener
Mayor

SCHOOL BUS TRAFFIC
| | 
The City has received some complaints about vehicles not stopping for the school buses. The buses come through the neighborhood beginning at 6:50 a.m. through 7:40 a.m. and at approximately 11:15 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. through 4:40 p.m. Please use extra caution while driving during these times. As a reminder, it is against the law to pass a school bus in either direction when the lights are on, and the fine for doing so is a minimum of $500.

GOLF CART REGULATIONS
| | 
With the nicer weather we have had here and there and to come, children are becoming more active around the City, we would like to remind you about the ordinances regulating the operation and use of golf carts. We have received many complaints of unlicensed drivers operating golf carts. Please click here to see the ordinance. |

HOBBY GROUPS
| |
Harold Vanicek is an amateur astronomer who would like to organize "star parties" with other residents to study the stars. He says residents do not have to own a telescope to participate, but because Meadowlakes does not have street lights we offer a very dark viewing sky. His email address is hvanicek@gmail.com , and his telephone number is 830-998-4952.
Ben Donnell is an intermediate chess player and would like to find others with his skill set to play at his home or the Hidden Falls Restaurant. Ben has been traveling to Austin to enjoy his hobby. Ben's email address is bddonnell3@yahoo.com, and his telephone number is 512-999-8505.
