The Lago Vista City Council held a special meeting on September 25, 2025, addressing key issues including citizen concerns about election integrity and the approval of utility easement resolutions.

During the meeting, Amanda Chavarria voiced strong concerns regarding the treatment of candidates in local elections. She emphasized that harassment undermines the integrity of the electoral process and discourages community participation. Chavarria called for respectful civil engagement and urged the council to foster an environment where citizens can freely choose their leaders based on ideas rather than intimidation.

Following the citizen comments, the council moved to the consent agenda, approving the minutes from the August 21, 2025, meeting without discussion. However, item B, which involved the approval of resolutions for releasing or vacating utility easements at several addresses, was removed for further discussion.

The council reviewed four specific easements, confirming that the city owns the easements but not the underlying land, allowing for the resolutions to proceed without a bidding process. After some discussion regarding potential drainage issues at one of the locations, the council approved the resolutions with a vote of 6 to 1, ensuring that the necessary transparency and review were maintained.

The meeting highlighted the council's commitment to addressing community concerns while managing local infrastructure needs effectively.
