Lewisville council votes to terminate city secretary after closed‑session deliberation
Summary
After a closed‑session personnel discussion, the council voted unanimously to terminate City Secretary Thomas Harris III and authorized the city manager and city attorney to effectuate severance per his employment agreement.
After breaking for closed session citing Texas Government Code provisions for personnel and attorney consultation, the Lewisville City Council reconvened in open session and moved to terminate the city secretary.
