The fire boat brought another
lengthy discussion. A larger boat
with more pumping capacity was
needed. The recent condominium
fire taxed the water capacities to the
limit. More water from the lake
iteself would have been a great help.
Visiting was a professional boat
builder who had moved to Horseshoe
Bay from Florida, who offered to
build and equip such a boat to fit
their needs. The estimated cost
would be $68,800. He suggested
other areas on Lake LBJ could also
be served by the emergency craft.

If we had a citizen of the month
award, this month it would be shared
by Ray and Becky Fleming of the
Sunrise Beach Corner Store. They
have agreed to be first on the list of
numbers to call if requesting a
burning permit. The store number,
388-6946, will help residents and
nonresidents alike, because someone
will be available seven days a week
to issue permit numbers.
We have asked that they stop
granting permits at 3 p.m. The
ordinance states no fuel added to
outside fires after 4 p.m. Please
remember, they do not make the
decisions regarding the burn or no
burn signs. So if you have everything
ready, and are denied a permit, save
your less than friendly words about
the decision for the city or the VFD.
Ray and Becky are just the bearers of
the news, and very good neighbors
to offer this valuable community
service.
Highland Lakes Gem and Mineral
Society was organized in January.
1983 and incorporated in March of
that year. The organization is a
member of the South Central Feder-
ation of Mineral Societies and the
American Federation of Mineralogi-
cal Societies. Members participate in
the activities and shows of the two
organizations as well as holding their
own programs, picnics, parties and
shows. Some members make ap-
pearances before clubs, various
organizations and at schools to make
talks and give demonstrations. Visi-
tors to the meetings are always
welcome and anyone who is interes-
ted in the hobby is encouraged to
visit and perhaps become a member.
SUNRISE BEACH — The city
experienced a one-vehicle accident
with injuries late in the afternoon of
October 18. It appeared the driver
slipped off the right side of the road
and overcompensated to regain
control. The vehicle crossed Sandy
Mountain Drive and struck a tree.
The driver was transported to the
hospital in Burnet as a precaution.
A broken ankle was discovered, in
addition to the obvious less serious
cuts and abrasions.
Accidents do happen, but an
incident related to the accident could
have resulted in even more serious
consquaences. Law enforcement and
EMS personnel frequently travel
what is called "Code 33" (lights and
siren) when responding to injury
accidents. They also travel at greater
than recommended speeds until they
are informed the injuries are not life
threatening.
A Llano County Deputy responding
to the call to back up our police and

HORSESHOE BAY — The board
of directors for the Lake LBJ
Municipal Utility District did a lot of
talking on such issues as the budget,
water rates and needs of the fire
department, but as for the need of
actual votes was minimal with only
an 11-point agenda.
The meeting, which was held
Thursday, October 20 at Horseshoe
Bay MUD offices, also considered
the increase of basic residential
water rates from $1.45 to $1.65 and
commercial rates from $1.75 to $2.
The district has gradually been
reducing the rate of "stand-by"
funds which have been used to
subsidize operations. Stand-by re-
quires that owners of unimproved
lots help pay water plant expenses
until such time there are enough
inhabitants in the resort area to
sustain the facility.
During the discussion of the
operating and maintenance tax bud-
get, a suggestion to automatically
grant raises in line with current
inflation rates was debated exten-
sively. The intent was to insure that
employees would be able to maintain
their standards of living and not lose
ground due to inflation.
Director Jim Huie announced he
. would be opposed to such an
arrangement for several reasons.
"It would not only be setting a
precedent, but there are several
factors we would not be able to
know, such as the condition of the
economy, the tax base, and an
inflation rate that might get out of
hand," Huie said. "I would prefer to
take a look at it on a year-to-year
basis."
Other board members concurred
with the yearly review process. A
committee was appointed to review
the minimum-maximum scales and a
report will be made at the November
meeting.
Llano Memorial Hospital and its
staff came in for commendations.
Director Dr. Dale Johnson and a
couple of others visited both the
Llano and Burnet hospitals recently
to see which would be in a better
position to assist Horseshoe Bay.
"Both are good," Dr. Johnson said.
"It did appear that Llano was more
aggressive and could come closer to
filling the needs of Horseshoe Bay
until such time the area could get its
own health facility."

Suggestions included establishing a
part-time clinic at Horseshoe Bay by
Llano doctors. The addition of
paramedics to ambulances was also
considered. Manager of the Horse-
she Bay ambulance, Jerome Davis,
reported he was a paramedic and
that the present crew was quite
adequate at this time.
Fire Department
Fire Chief Tony Delisle submitted
a list of three items urgently needed
in the department. In the order of
importance were a set of "Jaws of
Life," a fire boat and another
engine.
In a recent accident, where four
people were killed near Horseshoe
Bay in Burnet County, the call for the
Jaws of Life inadvertently was
delayed for about 15 minutes.
StarFlight helicopter arrived before
all were freed from the two-vehicle
smash.
"While it would not have saved
any lives (because of the severity of
the crash) it would have helped
getting the victims free from the
wreckage," DeLisle pointed out.
While no vote was taken, it was
determined there would be some
excess funds available from last
year’s budget that would be avail-

The Central Texas Electric
Cooperative needs another four
hours to complete work on the
new transmission lines recently
installed in the vicinity of Kings-
land. Weather permitting, there
will be a power outage Wednes-
day, November 2 for Sunrise
Beach and areas to the south,
along with the Click area. The
outage will begin at 8 a.m. and
last about four hours, according
to a spokesman for CTEC.
"Your patience and coopera-
tion is appreciated. Every effort
will be made to reduce the outage
as much as possible," said a
CTEC representative.
The regular commissioners meet-
ing held on the 18th played to an
audience of 69. Interest in the
meeting started as soon as the notice
of a possible tax rollback petition was
posted. Concern is that a rollback
won’t save money, but have the
opposite result. As reported last
week, the commissioners have 20
days to validate the petition. If no
action is taken within that time, the
petition automatically becomes valid
and a city election will be held on
January 21, 1989 to determine
success or failure of the effort.
Also on the agenda was a procla-
mation designating the month as
domestic violence awareness month.
