Two Leander Fire Dept. propositions on ballot Brad Moore, Leander Professional Fire- fighters Association president, said two propositions on the May 4 ballot would help the department recruit and retain more experienced employees. What’s on the ballot? If approved, Proposition A would establish civil service, a system that standardizes the department’s internal hiring and disciplinary processes, keeping them free from political influence, Moore said in an email. Proposition B would allow collective bargaining, giving firefighters the opportu- nity to negotiate benefits, pay and working conditions with the city. Moore said collective bargaining gives firefighters a “seat at the table to work on those items with administra- tors in a formalized and transparent setting.”
City nixes agreement for Leander Springs project The city of Leander has pulled out of a deal that would have allowed the $1 billion Leander Springs development, after nearly four years of planning. As proposed, Leander Springs would encompass 78 acres and feature a 4-acre crystal lagoon as well as restaurant, retail, entertainment, hospitality, residential and office elements. The site for the proposed development is at the southwest corner of RM 2243 and 183A Toll. What happened Leander officials sent a notice of termination letter to the Leander Springs developers March 18. The letter informed the developers the 2020 development agreement with the city of Leander was canceled due to their failure to meet the construction deadlines and requirements outlined in the agreement, according to a copy of the letter provided to Community Impact .

As of press time, Leander Springs developers have not responded to Community Impact ’s request for comment. The bottom line The developers still own the property and are allowed to pursue commercial development, as long as it’s in accordance with Leander’s develop- ment regulations, according to the letter. However, the crystal lagoon portion is no longer cleared for development, officials said, and the developers will not receive economic incentives from the city.
