During citizen comments, resident Dave Stewart described a modular cloth‑media filter option and urged the city to pursue converting irrigation to treated effluent for public ball fields and the golf course. Stewart said a 1‑MGD modular unit with startup could be delivered for roughly $250,000 plus installation costs, and that a smaller concrete pad and canopy would enable relocation if needed. He argued such a system could remove the need for pond exemptions in several locations and benefit Lago Vista taxpayers and the Lago Vista Independent School District by replacing potable irrigation uses.

Separately, the irrigation subcommittee reported continued progress on the golf course irrigation design, saying the design is about 90% complete. Committee members discussed pond storage capacity for effluent distribution and determined more detailed as‑built verification is needed to determine whether additional pond storage will be required. The subcommittee agreed staff should continue the TCEQ application process and that the city should consider requesting letters of support from state legislators to accompany an application seeking relief or clarification from TCEQ regarding pond/storage requirements.

No formal council vote was taken on procurement or funding for the modular filter; council discussion identified further technical review and staff‑led due diligence would be necessary before procurement. The subcommittee will continue design work and coordinate with staff and stakeholders on any required permit or TCEQ filings.
