The Lakeway City Council meeting on July 7, 2025, took a decisive turn regarding the future of Bridal and Sailfish Parks, as council members addressed the issue of unauthorized docks on city property. During an executive session, it was revealed that the city and the Lakeway Civic Corporation could not reach an agreement to amend the deed that would allow adjacent property owners to maintain the docks they had previously erected.

Council members confirmed that six docks are currently trespassing on city land, a situation that has persisted despite prior informal approvals. The council expressed its unwillingness to spend $45,000 on a special election to resolve the matter, emphasizing that a simple legal resolution could suffice.

In a firm directive, the council instructed city staff to begin the process of removing all unauthorized structures and access points from city property. They reiterated their commitment to preserving Bridal and Sailfish Parks as public parkland, stating unequivocally that the land will not be sold or redeveloped for residential use.

As the meeting concluded, no further comments were made by council members or citizens, marking a significant step in maintaining the integrity of Lakeway's public spaces. The council's actions reflect a strong stance on protecting community resources and ensuring compliance with property regulations.
