Election just a formality
With less than a month to go to the Spring Elections, the Bee Cave City component is a total non event this year.
With only one candidate for Mayor (Monty Parker) and two candidates for the two open seats at Council (Bill Goodwin and Jon Cobb) all three will be seated whatever happens on voting day.
The only question outstanding is who will the new Council select to fill Parker's vacated Council seat through May 2019?

Bill Goowin will run the meeting as Mayor Pro Tem until Monty Parker steps unopposed into the Mayor's seat in late May. At that time the council will appoint a new Council Member to fill Parker's vacant seat through the next election in May 2019.

City Council race over as Matzen withdraws
Incumbent City Council member Tom Matzen withdrew for this May's election at this week's candidate Forum.
Hill Country Indoor investor Jeff Kent pulled out of the election last month and now remaining candidates - incumbent Bill Goodwin and new candidate Jon Cobb will certainly fill the two vacant seats.
Matzen cited the split in the Council and the burdomsome nature of the position as the reasons behind his withdrawal. The lateness of his decision will leave his name on the ballot but he endorsed the other two candidates anyway.
