Final election
results released
for Lake Cities
The votes were tallied in
the Lake Cities as new and familiar
faces tried to gain seats
on their respective councils.
By the time the final count
was made, some towns had a
completely different makeup.
Newcomers Mike McCaleb and April Estrada were
elected to the Lake Dallas
City Council for Place 2 and
4, respectively, after neither
incumbent chose to run again.
Place 2 was the only seat in
Lake Dallas that was contested,
as Estrada and Mayor
Tony Marino ran unopposed
for their positions.
Bill Knox joined McCaleb
in the race for Place 2, with
McCaleb securing 133 of the
201 total votes to win. The
133 votes constituted 66 percent
of the total votes.
Leggett:
A-Train may face price
increases, change in weekend trips
While the A-Train has
brought convenience and excitement
to the North Texas
area, users of the Denton
County train should keep an
eye out for fare increases
coming very soon – despite
what the Denton County
Transportation Authority
(DCTA) may want.
The Dallas Area Rapid
Transit (DART) and the Fort
Worth Transportation Authority
are in talks about raising
fare rates on regional passes,
which directly impacts the
DCTA’s efforts to keep fares
aligned throughout the rail
system. According to officials,
this also means that the
total cost of all regional
passes will likely increase.
Current regional day passes
through DCTA cost $10;
monthly passes cost $120;
and annual passes cost
$1,200.
“DCTA is part of the regional
fares system,” said
DCTA representative Dee
Leggett. “So, for our fares to
be recognized there has to be
some parity between the three
systems.
Shuffling Falcons: Familiar faces switch positions in LDISD
The 2011-2012 school
year may be coming to an
end, but LDISD administration
members are already
looking towards next year.
The schools within the
Lake Dallas Independent
School District will undergo
a makeover in their respective
front offices – sort of.
Lake Dallas High School,
Lake Dallas Elementary,
Corinth Elementary and
Shady Shores Elementary
have all named new members
of their administration
teams – and in all cases,
each members was a previous
administrator for a different
LDISD school.
Shady
Shores agrees to new five-year fire contract
The Lake Cities have been
negotiating on a Fire Department
contract for several
weeks now. Last week, Shady
Shores finalized theirs.
The Town of Shady Shores
has agreed on a five-year interlocal
agreement with the
City of Corinth for fire services,
according to town officials.
The agreement provides
the town with the same fire
services it has enjoyed in previous
years, but with a higher
price tag in the first year of
payment, said Shady Shores
Mayor Jerry Williams.
