Lago Vista

It's 9-0-5. here on the Todd and Oz show, and you can join us anytime you want at 512-836-0590.

It is confirmed a tragic loss of a Lago Vista police officer.

Yeah, the department confirms that Officer Brandon Carey has passed away.

Details about his death are not known, but officials, well, let me back up.

He reportedly died outside Lagavista City limits and neither the city nor Travis County currently commenting on the circumstances surrounding his death.

We have a good hunch because we've got some sources out there.

But, gosh, any time this story about Lago Vista police lately, at least over the past year, pops up, I get a barrage of text messages from Lago Vista police officers and others in the business, if you will, talking about how Lago Vista PD has kind of got some problems that's being investigated, some management issues.

I don't know what that is.

You build a Walmart somewhere, and it was interesting.

So we were up in this little town called Lago Vista.

over the weekend on Friday, and they won't allow a Walmart or an HEB.

We were like, you know, they have like their grocery store is Brookshire Brothers, and we were talking to some people, and they're like, oh, yeah, the city council got developed.

Yeah, jump in at 512-836-0590.

Listen, calls for increased safety are, uh, are increasing in Lago Vista following a tragic death of a 14-year-old boy that happened, uh, this past Friday.

Lago Vista police say the teenager was on one of those e-moto bikes when he lost control and crashed.

He wasn't wearing a helmet.

Uh, no other vehicles were involved in the crash, but Lago Vista resident David Von Oglerking, he tells KXAN the city needs to focus more on educating young people about, uh, the safety of these bikes.

Amazon says it notified- Hang on a second.

Here he is.

Wow.

A good one for the private schools, St. Michael's and Hyde Park.

How about that? We also have Hutto and Copperas Cove, Lago Vista and Burnett.

Cedar Park plays Waco Midway.

You said Dripping Springs, Round Rock.

Dave, welcome to the podcast.

A little bit about your first few years at Lago Vista.

Well, I worked for Lago Vista, which is... just outside the city of Austin in central Texas.

And we're a hard rock limestone country, basically.

The city of Lago Vista, until about six years ago, was the second land-wise largest city in Travis County, which meant that we had water lines going everywhere, but we had a rare opportunity really low population density of 465 people per square mile, whereas other cities like Round Rock and Austin had a population density of 2,600 to 2,800, which made water loss extremely large compared to them because we had few users and a lot of pipe.

Well, all those bells and spigots were leaking at every 20 feet.

And we started looking at a 35, 37% water loss.

So I'll pay the $900 to bore two, three, or four inch under a road.

Don't be standing around.

So as I, as I grew up and over the summers went in, I helped my uncles build large parts of neighborhoods in Lago Vista, Texas out in Williamson County and all of Travis County out there.

It's

awesome.
