In the wake of the unprecedented winter storm that dumped freezing rain and more than a foot of snow on the Lakeway area during a week in mid-February, Lakeway City Council on March 1 unanimously approved extending a disaster declaration for the city. Lakeway Mayor Sandy Cox first declared a disaster within the city limits Feb. 26. The disaster declaration will make it easier for residents to file insurance and other kinds of claims to cover damages resulting from the storm, she said. During the meeting, Cox said she would keep the disaster declaration in place as long as Gov. Greg Abbott keeps a similar declaration in place for the state of Texas.

York said if Lakeway were to delay action on the ordinance, it would create an opportunity for Stratus to discuss the Main Street issue with the city. Before council voted for the Oaks PUD revision, Lakeway Mayor Sandy Cox said previous attempts by Lakeway to discuss Main Street with Stratus have been unsuccessful. ....
