Administration The City of Lacy Lakeview invites our citizens to visit new City Hall and recently remodeled Police Building. City Hall houses the city manager's office, public utilities department and staff, municipal court, city administration, city council chambers, and other city staff members. The Police Building houses the 24 hour Police and Fire dispatch center, Chief of Police and Fire Services, Police Administration and officers. Animal Control and Environmental Crimes and the Fire Marshal can also be reached in this building. See the Civic Center page to rent this remodeled building. Lacy Lakeview is a home rule city. The city continues to enhance the appearance of our city. The two largest projects (so far) have been a beautification project in the Loop 340 corridor and the development of Veterans Memorial Park. The Veterans Memorial Park, 613 N. Lacy Dr., is listed as an on-going beautification project. This park has a walking track, veteran flag memorial, veteran memorial bricks along the walking track, wooden benches, a sound stage, BBQ building, and covered picnic tables encompass this once vacant lot. It is a beautiful location, and well used by our citizens and others. The City has 46 employees and we strive to serve the needs of our citizens, visitors and business owners. We boast an extremely low crime rate, one of the lowest property tax in the County ($.32), and excellent schools in the Connally ISD and La Vega ISD. The city ISO rating is a 6.
