Lewisville council approves parking limits, updates records management and reappoints water district representative

Lewisville — The Lewisville City Council voted on April 14 to adopt a parking-time limit on a segment of South Mill Street in the Old Town Entertainment District, approved a substantial update to the city’s records-management ordinance and reappointed a city staff member to the Upper Trinity Regional Water District board. The council also approved its consent agenda, which included minutes and several routine contracts and bid awards.

Parking limit in Old Town

The council approved an ordinance limiting parking on the east side of South Mill Street from Purnell Street to Main Street to two hours between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Staff said the restriction is intended to benefit adjacent businesses and customers where multifamily residents and guests have been parking for extended periods. The ordinance was read and approved by the council; the city attorney recited the ordinance caption before the council vote.

Records-management update

Council approved an ordinance repealing and replacing sections 2-166 through 2-200 of the Lewisville City Code to update records-management definitions, designate a records-management officer, assign responsibilities to department directors and departmental records coordinators, and modernize procedures for physical and electronic storage and retention. The city attorney presented the ordinance text and the council voted to adopt the update.

Upper Trinity Regional Water District representative
