Law Jr., Mustang Ridge, Texas, told Council there is an area of 183 and Highway 21 south which has been proposed for incorporation. He said there are 1155 acres including the 183 and 21 intersection to be called Mustang Ridge, Texas. "The Commissioner's Court in Caldwell County, the County Judge F. Scott, have approved this and the election has been called for August 10, 1985. At this point it looks like everybody is in favor of the incorporation." Mayor Cooksey asked staff if they are aware of this. Mr. Duncan, Director of OLDS, said they were made aware of this by the City of Lockhart as this has been filed in Caldwell County. "We would appreciate a copy of your map. We have not received that yet. But we are aware of your incorporation efforts. It is my understanding that it is totally in our proposed ETJ that would be created by this Council Memo 3 6/25/85 annexation before the Council today." Mr. Law inquired how this would affect their plans. Paul Isham, City Attorney, stated, "I think you go back to the first in time rule and I think as long as the area is within the proposed ETJ and not within the proposed annexation that they can go forth in their incorporation." Mr. Law said according to their legal experts "we are perfectly legal in all aspects of incorporation. We do have another problem, maybe. We do want to be a good neighbor. The Creedmore-Maha Water Supply Corporation has 125 miles of waterlines. They come up to almost the rodeo arena out on 183 and according to Federal law we are well protected from any encroachment on our rights as it relates to supplying water in that area. We do have an extensive water expansion program. are building new water towers in the area. We hope we can work with you on any expansion you have as it relates to water and other utilities out there. We do have a proposal to perhaps build a sewage treatment plant in the area and progress as a modern little city out there.."

Catherine Loayza reviewed. Larry Furrow, president, Travis Country Homeowners Association, said they are neutral on the annexation question. Mr. Furrow said they have two points they would like the Council to consider if they decide to annex. One is, if the area is developed in single family dwellings around them, they would like to have any greenbelt amenity areas annexed into their association. Two, they are a non-profit association serving the homes out there and do not make any income off of their property and cannot utilize it for future development. The majority of their property is in the 100 year flood plain and as such request the Council to consider, upon annexation, that the land either be exempted from the tax roll for a set period of years, or at least evaluate it at a lower rate than is currently utlized in the City of Austin. Mayor Cooksey told him the City of Austin is not responsible for taxes and that he should contact the Travis County Appraisal District. Robert Broner and Bert Cromack both spoke in favor of annexation. : Council Memo 4 6/25/85 Col. David Bucks asked that the annexation area be designated for single family homes.
