The public is invited to the meeting, scheduled for June 18 at 6 p.m. at the WCID-17 office, 3812 Eck Lane. The public comment period begins at 6:30 p.m., noted Brian Thompto, SRNA chairman.
The proposed bond, totaling $7.5 – $8 million, is for property just off RM 620 and Quinlan Park Road known as MU-14 and owned by MU-14 Investments.
It is slated for construction of 150 duplexes, but SRNA wants to buy the property for development corresponding to community interests, such as a park or ball fields.
The Steiner Ranch Neighborhood Association will propose a bond election today to Travis County Water Control & Improvement District 17 for the purchase of this 80-acre site in Steiner Ranch. The parcel is next to Quinlan Park Road and RM 620. The action is based off of results from a survey indicating 88 percent of those who took the survey are in favor of such a purchase.

Funeral today for Westlake teen drowned in Lake Travis, Remembered as happy, compassionate
By LYNETTE HAALAND, Four Points News
Sarah Elizabeth Pool, a 15-year-old Westlake High School student, was participating in a wakeboard camp with Austin Ridge Bible Church on Thursday when she was last seen alive.
Her body was recovered on Saturday, and on Monday the Travis County Medical Examiner officially identified her.
Pool was the first-born of triplets and she recently completed her freshman year at WHS. Her obituary states: “She and her life was a miraculous, God-given gift to her family from the very beginning. Sarah is best remembered as a happy and compassionate young woman who loved Jesus, her family, her friends, dancing and animals.”
Her funeral is Wednesday, June 17, and in remembrance of Pool’s love for life, her family would appreciate attendees wearing her favorite colors of blue or teal.
It was that love of life that likely drew Pool to participate in her church’s One Wakeboard Camp. While at the camp, she was last seen alive about a mile from VIP Marina Lake Travis on Thursday.
