City of Lakeway Mayor Joe Bain announced initiatives July 18 to support the local family of Sean and Brodie Copeland—a father and son killed July 14 in the Bastille Day attack in Nice, France—as well as the area’s police officers.
He requested the Lake Travis communities display red and black ribbons in honor of the slain Lakeway residents and blue lights to show their stance with the Lakeway and Bee Cave police departments.

Bain began the Monday evening monthly City Council meeting with a moment of silence out of respect for the fallen officers in Dallas and Baton Rouge and the Copeland family.
“I’d also like for us to think about these events and how fortunate we are here in Lakeway to be able to discuss our business in what is hopefully a civil manner,” he said. “It’s one very easy way to back our police—to display blue lights at home.
“I think we need to support our police. We need to make sure that they understand this.”
Bain said the police support program will continue through the end of October.
The blue light bulbs are free to Lakeway and Bee Cave residents at Lowe’s Home Improvement store, 12611 Shops Parkway, Ste. 100, Bee Cave, and at Lakeway City Hall, 1102 Lohmans Crossing Road, Lakeway.
