The Lago Vista City Council meeting held on August 7, 2025, focused on the approval of a significant street rehabilitation project as part of the ongoing capital improvement plan. The council discussed an extension of phase two of the project, which is being funded through a Certificate of Obligation (CO) bond.
The council received three bids for the project, which were opened on July 30, 2025. The lowest responsible bidder was identified as Lone Star Paving, a contractor previously utilized by the city. The project will encompass the rehabilitation of 23 streets at a total cost of $1,317,305.60, which remains under the planned fiscal year budget of $4 million.
During the meeting, council members raised questions regarding past work done on Highland Drive. A council member inquired about the contractor responsible for previous seal coating on the street, which was performed between 2019 and 2021. City staff confirmed that the previous work was completed by a different contractor, not Lone Star Paving.
The discussion highlighted the city's ongoing efforts to maintain and improve its infrastructure, with Lone Star Paving's recent work being part of the broader street rehabilitation initiative. The council's approval of this project marks a continued commitment to enhancing the city's roadways and ensuring they meet community needs.
The meeting concluded with a consensus on the importance of these improvements and a commitment to follow up on the project's progress in future sessions.
