Lewisville City Council Updates

MEETINGS:

• Usually meets on 1st and 3rd Mondays of month (moved where there is a holiday - See the City of Lewisville Calendar for scheduled meetings.) but there can be extra meetings when necessary.  The Regular session starts at 7:00 PM but there is usually some type of "Workshop Session" before and/or after the meeting.  The workshop session is open to visitors to come listen unless it is listed as "closed".  You can see the Agendas which are posted a few days before the meetings.  There are usually three scheduled on council meeting nights:

  • Workshop Meeting (open):  There are no set rules that I have read but visitors can come and listen to their discussions on topics or the presentations that they are given.  The Agenda will will tell what time it starts which may be something like 5:30 PM, etc...  The items in this meeting tend to get passed in the Consent Agenda portion of the City Council meeting.  Therefore, you should also try to attend these meetings to hear what is going on.

  • City Council Meeting: This is the meeting for citizens to come and speak to the council in a public forum. You must arrive before this meeting and fill out a card if you wish to talk or a card with your comments.  The meeting agenda contains events of the meeting usually in this order:

    • Invocation - Prayer

    • Pledge of Allegiance (TO USA)

    • Public Hearings

    • Visitors / Citizens Forum:  A few minutes time for you to communicate to the City Council.  You must fill out a card before the meeting.

    • Consent Agenda:  Many items voted on at once.  I have seen some these items discussed in the Open Workshop meetings.

    • Regular Hearings: individual items that needs separate votes or discussion.

    • Reports: usually closing statements from department heads before being adjourned to the closed session.  Almost everyone leaves at this point but they can come back after the closed session.

    • Closed Session:  the council convenes and discusses private issues like personnel issues or legal council stuff.

    • Reconvene:  They may come back to the City Council Chambers to vote on something.

    • Adjourn

• The meetings are held at the City Hall Building at 151 W. Church Street; Lewisville, TX 75057.  For more information, please call the City information line at 972-219-3400.

• Regular Session is open to the public to speak during the "Visitors/Citizens Forum".  We encourage all Citizens to attend.  Be there by 6:30 PM to get on the agenda to speak in the section call the "Visitors/Citizens Forum".

• Lewisville is a Council-Mayor form of Government. The Council votes and the Mayor does not unless there is a tie - which would be if one council member was not present.
