Drawn together by the Granite Shoals Faith Alliance, prayerful Highland Lakes residents close ranks around first responders to bless their work and their families on Saturday, Aug. 20. The morning service was the second annual such event and, planned again for open air it, it was moved inside the Granite Shoals fire hall. But, pastors noted the service was even more meaningful this year, in light of the dangers that have haunted police, fire and emergency service workers.

The Granite Shoals City Council last week voted final approval for the ordinance that place a bond issue on the November ballot and reached an accord on budget concessions that will likely result in a tax rate lower than the maximum considered.

On Monday night, Aug. 22, the bond election ordinance specified Nov. 8 ballot language allowing voters to choose “for” or “against” the issuance of $3 million in tax bonds for improvements to Phillips Ranch Road, Prairie Creek Road And Valley View Lane.

The bonds amount would represent about 45 percent of the proposed improvement costs. The city is seeking U.S. Department of Agriculture grant support for the balance of the project. It was not only the prospect of grant support for more than half the cost that convinced the council that the time was right for the project.
