May Election Final Results
City Council met in special session this past Wednesday at 10 a.m. to canvass votes from the May 1, 2021 election. City Council approved the results from the special election to reauthorize a local sales and use tax in the City of Lakeway at the rate of 1/4 of one percent to provide revenue for maintenance and repair of municipal streets.

City Council also unanimously approved the results of the mayoral and city councilmember races showing Tom Kilgore as Lakeway's next mayor. He replaces Mayor Sandy Cox who has served as mayor for Lakeway since 2018. Additionally, Keith Trecker will be seated as an incoming councilmember in place of Councilmember Doug Howell, who did not run this election cycle. Councilmember Sanjeev Kumar and Councilmember Gretchen Vance were re-elected for another term.

National Police Week (May 9 - 15)
This week is National Police Week, which pays tribute to local, state and federal peace officers. This year, the week is observed Sunday, May 9 through Saturday, May 15. Peace Officers Memorial Day is also on Saturday, May 15. It is a day specifically honoring law enforcement officers killed or disabled in the line of duty.

In 1962, President Kennedy issued the first proclamation for National Police Week and Peace Officers Memorial Day to remember and honor law enforcement officers for their service and sacrifice.

Thank you to all of our Lakeway police officers and staff for everything you do to keep our community safe!
