The Bee Cave Bee

With three open City Council positions up for election in May, there are only three registered candidates as at the deadline on Friday February the 15th. Tuesday at 5PM is the deadline for a write in candidate or the City Council can cancel the election.

Standing again are Kara King and Andrew Clark. Marie Lowman is not seeking re-election, but Andrea Willott is. She is currently Mayor Pro Tem Bill Goodwin's nominated member on the City P&Z commission.

At its February 12th meeting Bee Cave City Council heard prepared commentary from resident Steve Albert. This conflicts with reports from Council Member Marie Lowman that the vast majority of residents when polled said no to any bridge at the LWC.

Mayor Monty Parker's notes on Facebook state Albert said :

"regarding LWC, the city must have a plan to repair or replace the LWC; must plan to do so by 2022; counted 15 false statements during County meeting from those making comments;

$6.2million is inflated, 25 year bridge would cost $1.6 mm; the ranking used was not based on only one access point; the 2nd access road is welcomed.

Warning signals and systems are unlikely to be accepted; Vail Divide is urgently needed, has City washed its hands on this project?; see the project through."

On Wednesday February 13th, a central Texas multi-jurisdictional task force was attempting to locate a fugitive in the city of Lakeway. The Task force located the subject who fled into Bee Cave near the Falconhead Subdivision where he was arrested.

On Monday February 4th a High School teacher was assaulted by a student. Details are very sketchy due to LTISD standard privacy policies. A request for a further statement this week has not, so far, received a response from the District.
