On Monday, the Lometa City Council approved a “term sheet” on Corix’s purchase of the Lometa water and wastewater system from LCRA. The council subsequently approved a memorandum of agreement with Corix regarding the purchase and operation of the utility. City attorney Barney Knight explained that the deal presented to the council is virtually identical to an agreement presented to the group in April. One change, however, did concern council members. “When they complete this deal and Corix takes ownership, the LCRA plans to close the park at Santa Fe Lake,” Knight said. “I don’t think we can get that back on the [negotiating] table to change that.” --------------------------------- ..like it or not we have to admit that our fellow Texans are a bunch of short-sighted money grubbing males of the donkey persuasion. ---------------------------------- However to get some good bird news in There was a small 'fallout'from this cold front on Galveston.
