that visits school campuses as speakers. Larry Honeycutt will invite County
Commissioner, Donna Eccleston to be a speaker that evening. Other

these representatives to be contacted by Larry as well. The motion passed

to be Tuesday, September 7, 2010 (the day after Labor Day). The motion

charge of handling this, with Mike Graham and Henry Steinhagen helping him.

Williamson reported that the Hill Country Neighborhood Coalition has 2-3
months to obtain signatures in protest of the proposed Canyon Lake water
rate increase. A discussion ensued about the possibility of having block
