2. In an effort to keep Leander as a member, the Capital Metropolitan Transportation Authority board of director's voted unanimously to support a new deal for the City of Leander. The deal would give Leander access to almost $2 million in infrastructure funding and a large share of a new $10 million infrastructure fund. Leander's City Council is considering separating ties with Capital Metropolitan Transportation Authority amid questions of spending sales tax revenues on other needs such as a water-processing system.
