Mayor Pro Tem says developer failed to meet PUD reporting; council requires monthly written reports and quarterly in-person updates

Lakeway27s council voted on Aug. 3 to reject the update submitted for the Square at Lakeway, saying the packet did not meet the PUD amendment27s requirement for in-person quarterly updates. Mayor Pro Tem (S3) argued the material "does not fill that guide" in the council27s July minutes, which specified a posted monthly update plus a quarterly oral presentation by the developer.

City Manager (S2) said staff had placed the developer27s written report in the packet and that the developer was present to answer questions, but acknowledged that whether the submission satisfies the PUD27s oral-report requirement "is unclear to me without consulting the city attorney." Council ultimately moved to require written monthly reports due by the last day of each month, and for the applicant to appear quarterly and provide an oral update; a separate motion to reject the packet as the required quarterly/oral update carried on the record.

Council members emphasized the practical goal: bring the project back into compliance before considering incentives or further approvals. The council did not adopt penalties the night of the meeting; a city attorney review was requested to clarify remedies and formal compliance procedures. The motion and direction recorded at the meeting will form staff27s follow-up with the applicant and any formal enforcement steps.
