  Officials / Mayor
  Once again it is my privilege to report to you on the operation of our City during the past year. As you will see in this report, the city moved forward in 2012 with various major capital improvement projects to meet the continuing growth in our community:
  The construction of a 1,000,000 gallon elevated water storage tank on the west side of Livingston to accommodate the growth along US 190 West and FM 350 South.
  The renovation of the Wadsworth facility on Tyler Street, which was purchased from First Baptist Church in late 2008, as a new 17,500 square foot library to include a large sitting area with Wi-Fi access and a vending area, an expanded public use computer room, a separate young adult area and children's area along with books and current materials, a staff workroom and librarian's office on the first floor. The second floor will include a genealogy library, additional space for children's activities, the Friends of the Library organization and community meeting rooms.
  The Trinity River Authority's expansion of the city's water treatment plant on FM 350 South to increase production from 3 MGD to 5 MGD to meet increased water supply needs in the community.
  The construction of an electric express feeder to connect the Livingston substation on the east side of the city with the Ogletree substation on the west side of the city for redundancy in electric operations within the city limits.
  In my position as Mayor, I am able to meet with community organizations and individuals on a regular basis who demonstrate their willingness to serve our community in a variety of ways.
  We are fortunate to have so many volunteers to work with us to ensure that Livingston remains a great place to call home for future generations. I continue to be grateful to our city employees, our management staff and to the members of our City Council for their selfless commitment and involvement.
