Summary
Summary of formal votes recorded during the Jan. 27 Lewisville City Council meeting, including consent agenda approvals, Business 121 plan adoption, boat‑ramp grant resolution and solid‑waste fee ordinance.
At its Jan. 27 meeting the Lewisville City Council recorded several formal votes. Below are the items the transcript shows were acted on and the recorded outcomes.
Votes recorded (high‑level):
- Consent agenda: Approved, motion passed 6–0. The consent agenda as read on Jan. 27 included (transcript excerpts): approval of a Liberty Advocacy Center contract in the amount of $32,000; approval of a professional engineering services contract with CEI Engineering Association; approval of a second amendment to an agreement between the City of Lewisville and Preferred Corporation for mowing and landscaping in Zone 5 in the amount of $51,148; approval of a variable agreement with Lewisville Independent School District for the elementary school resource rover program; and an agreement with the Texas Department of Transportation for traffic signal equipment (the agenda packet contained inconsistent reimbursement figures — staff later confirmed the correct figure as $222,000). Where the transcript did not provide clear amounts or identifiers, the item is marked “not specified.”
- Business 121 Corridor Plan (public hearing and adoption): Adopted, motion passed 6–0. Staff presented the Business 121 Corridor Plan (72 strategies across mobility, quality of place and economic vitality); Planning & Zoning recommended approval.
- Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) boat‑ramp grant resolution: Approved, motion passed 6–0. Staff recommended council certify eligibility and accept grant assistance to participate in the TPWD Boat Access Grant Program to redesign and construct Boat Ramp No. 2; matching funds were stated to be available in capital improvements funds.
- Solid waste & recycling fee schedule ordinance (transition to Republic Services franchise): Approved, motion passed 6–0. The council adopted an ordinance amending the fee schedule to align Castle Hills service under Republic Services; staff described cart exchanges and outreach. The city attorney read the ordinance caption and the record shows the motion passed 6–0.
Notes and clarifications drawn from the transcript: - Traffic signal equipment agreement: agenda materials included two inconsistent amounts ($284,000 on one page, $222,000 on reimbursement page); a council member asked staff to confirm and staff later confirmed the correct amount as $222,000. - Cybersecurity grant award: the transcript contains a garbled amount for the 2025 state/local cybersecurity grant; the presentation referenced acceptance of a grant award but the precise dollar figure was not legible in the transcript and is therefore recorded as not specified here. - Where the transcript lists items without full identifiers (ordinance numbers, resolution numbers, or full contract identifiers), those items are recorded with “not specified.”
The council recorded unanimous votes where noted. For items requiring implementation or funding, staff said they would return with the necessary steps and budget requests.
