Horseshoe Bay Council approves budget presentation changes, moves drought stage to 1 and continues plat; several permits and committee appointments also pass
Summary
Council approved an ordinance adjusting budget presentation/reclassification items, voted to move the LCRA drought stage from two to one, continued the Silver Rock final plat to July 16, appointed a Business Regulations Advisory Committee chair and members, and approved multiple building-permit extensions and the consent agenda.
The Horseshoe Bay City Council held a series of votes on administrative, land-use and water-policy matters during a regular meeting.
Budget ordinance approved: Finance Director Molly Jester presented Ordinance 224-115, describing presentation and reclassification amendments to multiple funds that mostly change how amounts are displayed and reclassified. Jester said the substantive financial change centered on an administrative-fee reclassification and a net $241,800 adjustment in presentation. Councilmember Morgan moved to approve the ordinance as presented; Councilmember Hosia seconded. The motion carried on a voice vote.
Drought contingency: Staff (Ray and supporting staff) recommended moving the city's drought-contingency status under the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) plan from stage two back to stage one based on combined Highland Lakes storage reported at about 1.112 million acre-feet and recent inflows. Ray said stage-one rules allow twice-weekly watering; stage two had limited irrigation to once a week. Councilmember Jones moved to adopt the staff recommendation; Councilmember King seconded. The motion carried.
Silver Rock final plat continued: During a public hearing on the Silver Rock Phase One final plat, staff reported the application was incomplete because the required construction bond and impact-fee payment had not been posted. Staff recommended continuing the public hearing for one month to allow the applicant to provide the outstanding items. Councilmember King moved to continue the item to the July 16, 2024 meeting; Councilmember Morgan seconded, and the motion carried.
Appointments and committee: Council appointed five applicants to the newly formed Business Regulations Advisory Committee and named Rusty Stout chair after staff recommended the slate. Councilmember King moved to appoint the recommended members (Tom Clawson, Greg Fraser, Terry Newman, Ryan Town and Rusty Stout) and to name Stout chair; Councilmember Jones seconded. The motion carried.
Building-permit extensions and consent agenda: Council approved several building-permit extension requests after staff presentations (examples included a 60-day fourth permit at 39 Apple Hood Island Drive and a 75-day extension for 172 Westgate Loop). The request for 1902 Bay West Boulevard was deferred to executive session for legal consultation. The consent agenda was approved as presented.
The mayor then adjourned the public meeting into executive session under the Texas Government Code to discuss the pending permit extension at 1902 Bay West Boulevard and pending litigation matters. Any public action arising from executive session would be taken after the meeting reconvened.
