The Lago Vista City Council meeting held on August 7, 2025, focused on several administrative items, community events, and a significant tribute to the Rusty Allen Airport.

The meeting commenced with the announcement that the Charter Review Committee (CRC) is accepting applications to fill vacancies. The CRC, which was appointed by the city council in January, has been working for seven months on proposed charter amendments. With the council's approval, the committee will now draft a new version of the city charter, aiming for potential inclusion on the 2026 election ballot. The CRC meets on the first and third Wednesdays of each month at 4 PM, and applications for new members are open until August 11, 2025.

Next, the council discussed the ongoing acceptance of applications for city council candidates. Positions for mayor and council members in places 1, 3, and 5 are available for the upcoming general election on November 4, 2025. Applications will be accepted until August 18, 2025, at 5 PM.

The meeting also highlighted the upcoming Lago Vista Splash Bash, scheduled for August 23 from 1 to 4 PM at the city pool. This free community event will feature various activities, including water games, contests, and free treats for the first 100 children. Residents must provide proof of Lago Vista residency to attend.

In a more somber segment, the council paid tribute to George Eads, a key figure in the establishment of Rusty Allen Airport, who passed away on June 11. Eads was recognized for his dedication and contributions to the airport's founding, which has served as a vital resource for the community. The council presented a proclamation declaring August 19, 2025, as National Aviation Day in Lago Vista, honoring both Eads and the airport's legacy. The proclamation emphasized the airport's role in economic development and community connectivity.

The meeting concluded with an invitation for attendees to participate in a photo opportunity with the proclamation, celebrating the contributions of the aviation community to Lago Vista. Overall, the meeting addressed important community initiatives and recognized significant local contributions, reinforcing the city's commitment to its residents and heritage.
