Lewisville council orders May 3 charter amendment election
Summary
The Lewisville City Council unanimously adopted an ordinance calling a charter amendment election to be held May 3, 2025, after a brief closed-session legal consultation under Texas Government Code §551.071.
The Lewisville City Council voted unanimously to call a charter amendment election for Saturday, May 3, 2025, adopting an ordinance to submit multiple proposed changes to the Lewisville City Charter to the city’s qualified voters.
The action matters because the charter amendments must be approved by voters and the council was required under the Texas Election Code to order the election by Feb. 14, 2025, to meet statutory scheduling deadlines. The council followed a brief closed-session consultation with the city attorney under Texas Government Code §551.071 before returning to open session and taking the vote.
A council member moved to "call a charter amendment election for the May uniform election date and adopt the ordinances set forth in the caption," and another council member seconded the motion. The city attorney presented the ordinance, which sets the May 3, 2025, election date and provides for early voting, notice of the election, severability and an effective date. After the reading, the council voted; the motion passed unanimously. The transcript records the action as "Motion passes unanimously."
No public comments were recorded on the item during the meeting. After the vote the council adjourned.
