An independent audit done for the city of Woodcreek deemed that, financially, the city was quite sound.

City Manager John Sone said the most important facet of the report was that Woodcreek has no long-term debt. He also said he didn’t believe Woodcreek had ever had any long-term debt.

“We do this for about 20 other cities, and only a few of them have no long-term debt,” Don Allman of Georgetown, who preformed the independent audit, said.

The Texas Department of Transportation was ready to give up on the rest area just outside of Wimberley. The city of Wimberley wasn’t.

An overlook area just off the road, where cars have stopped and people have picnicked for decades, will now be maintained by the city, Wimberley Rotary Club and Keep Wimberley Beautiful.

With budget constraints, TxDOT has been tightening the belt, and one of the cuts was going to be abandoning Wimberley’s rest area. The state of Texas would, and still does, own the property, but the covered picnic tables and trash cans would have been left to deteriorate or removed all together.

Pam Showalter, past member and Chair of Wimberley's first Planning and Zoning Commission, has entered the race for Place Four on City Council. “The City's first P&Z Commission won awards from the Central Texas Section of the American Planning Association (APA) and from APA Texas because we created unique planning tools to help preserve Wimberley's character,” Showalter said. “I was also very involved in the development of Wimberley's first Master Plan, which is the foundation for all City actions. The Master Plan is coming up for revision, and I can draw on my past experiences to help that process.”

Showalter obtained a BA in English from Vanderbilt University, Nashville, then spent ten years in business – her last position was as a financial analyst at a Fortune 500 company.

Please welcome the Wimberley View to the 21st Century, or at least the 20th.

It’s been a longtime coming, but the Wimberley View has a website.

Along with this digital wave of change, the View can now be found on essentially any platform. The View can  be read the newspaper online, on your Smartphone or tablet.

Our thought is, “Who are we to tell you how to read the news?” We want you to choose.
