Here's your weekly Keller recap.

The restraining order is gone, but the lawsuit isn't

Judge Kimberly Fitzpatrick dissolved the temporary restraining order Friday, after telling attorneys on both sides off for dumping roughly 1,000 pages of documents on her the night before the hearing. She did not grant an injunction, did not deny one, and did not throw the case out. The next hearing is October 23. What changes in practical terms: since August 17 a court order had barred Westlake from voting on the Circle T development agreement, and that bar is now lifted, so nothing from the court stops Westlake from taking it up before October 23. Westlake says it isn't planning to. Town spokesman Jon Sasser said Westlake will keep following Governor Abbott's directives on data centers, which still have the state refusing to issue permits while ERCOT finishes its audit. Linda Bjorn, one of the Marshall Ridge plaintiffs, put it plainly after the hearing: she doesn't want people thinking the case was thrown out because the order was dissolved. Westlake says it expects the whole dispute resolved on the 23rd. The plaintiffs' attorney says he doesn't agree.

Roanoke confirms it's in talks to take over Westlake policing

Roanoke has now said publicly that it's working toward a possible police services partnership with Westlake, the job Keller has done since 2002. Roanoke's proposal covers dedicated patrol, dispatch, investigations, traffic enforcement, community programs and a school resource officer at Westlake Academy. Nobody has signed anything. Roanoke Mayor Carl "Scooter" Gierisch called it a potential partnership and the city's public engagement manager said no agreement has been reached. One detail that explains the timing of all this: Keller's contract requires two years' notice of non-renewal with an October 1 deadline, which is why Westlake's council acted when it did. Keller PD serves Westlake through September 30, 2028 either way.

Two weeks later, the zoning results still aren't posted

Planning & Zoning heard the Providence rezoning on 21 acres of KISD land at 901 Johnson Road and the 7 Brew drive-thru at 901 Keller Parkway on September 22. The city's records system still shows no posted outcome for either one. City Council meets Tuesday, October 6 at Town Hall, which is the next place either case could surface. Also on the October calendar: Zoning Board of Adjustment October 5, Parks Board October 8, P&Z October 13 and 27.

Your school tax rate isn't going up

Trustees voted unanimously September 24 to hold the KISD rate at $1.0852 per $100 of value, the same as the last two years. It splits into $0.7552 for day to day operations and $0.3300 for debt. The reason the rate held matters more than the number: Superintendent Cory Wilson said district property values dropped about $2 billion year over year, from roughly $23 billion to $21 billion, so a flat rate means less money coming in. CFO Pam Stranathan said raising the rate wouldn't have helped much anyway, because most of the extra would get recaptured by the state. The city's separate rate is $0.300417. Don't just add the two together to guess your bill, since the school district and the city use different homestead exemptions and different taxable values.

Fall break starts sooner than you think

Friday, October 9 is a student holiday for parent-teacher conferences, and the whole district is closed October 12 through 16. That's a full week plus a long weekend on the front end. If you need childcare or you've been thinking about a trip, that's nine days off starting a week from tomorrow.

Monday is the voter registration deadline

October 5 is the last day to register if you want a say on the $828 million bond and the three school board seats on the November 3 ballot. Early voting runs October 19 through 30. Three races are contested: Place 4, Place 5 and the Place 6 special election.

Cafe Medi has closed

The Greek and Mediterranean spot at 129 E. Olive closed in September after 13 years in Old Town. A sign on the door points customers to the Hurst location on Grapevine Highway, which is still open. Manos and Theresa Moursi opened the Keller restaurant in 2013, built on his grandmother's recipes after he moved from Greece to North Texas in 1995. It had been one of the highest-rated restaurants in town.

Run in the Dark 5K and Fun Run
Saturday, October 3, 5 to 9 p.m. at Keller Town Hall, 1100 Bear Creek Parkway. The one-mile fun run goes off at 6:30 p.m. and is $25, which includes a kid zone wristband. The 5K is at 7:15 p.m. for $35. There's a fall market, food trucks, music and bounce houses around it, and it benefits Community Storehouse. Registration closes Saturday night.
