Summary
At its August meeting the Lewisville Town Council approved adoption of the new UDO, annexed 5394 Williams Road, adopted a regional hazard mitigation plan update, set amphitheater rules and fees, and approved a handful of administrative facility petitions; one consent item (preliminary financial statements) was pulled for later review.
Lewisville — At its August meeting the Town of Lewisville council approved multiple ordinances and resolutions on a largely unanimous roll call following public hearings and staff presentations.
Key votes and short outcomes
- Unified Development Ordinance (ordinance 2025‑021): Adopted unanimously. (See separate coverage for details.)
- Annexation of 5394 Williams Road (ordinance 2025‑022): Approved unanimously. Council also approved the required concurrent rezoning of the parcel to Lewisville Agricultural and Yadkin River Conservation districts (motion based on staff’s consistency statement); vote unanimous.
- Northern Piedmont Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2025 update (resolution 2025‑029): Adopted unanimously. Staff said the plan is required to be updated every five years to remain eligible for federal hazard‑mitigation funding and that the full plan (approximately 1,100 pages) will be available at town hall.
- Mayor Mike Horn Amphitheater rules (ordinance 2025‑024): Council adopted a new chapter to the town code establishing rules for rentals and public events at the new amphitheater at Jack Warren Park. Rules mirror existing pavilion standards (hours, decorations, trash, no outdoor burning) and limit events after 10 p.m.
- Amphitheater fee schedule (ordinance 2025‑025): Council added rental fees for the amphitheater to the town fee schedule: $35 for the first four hours, $15 per additional hour, $200 refundable cleaning deposit, plus a $100 nonresident surcharge. The fee schedule matches the town’s pavilion rates.
- Facility use exemption (resolution 2025‑030) for Lewisville United Methodist Church Preschool: Approved. Staff and the special projects review committee recommended approval of a requested one‑time exemption to host a staff Christmas party.
Consent agenda and financial statements
The council approved the consent agenda items (minutes and routine items) by unanimous voice vote, but it pulled one consent item for further review: Resolution 2025‑028, preliminary/unaudited financial statements for year ended 06/30/2025. Finance staff explained the numbers are preliminary, more revenues and expenses remain to be recorded and that the remaining ARPA transfer (about $400,000) increased the anticipated fund balance. Council agreed—without objection—to delay final action on that resolution to a subsequent meeting when final figures are available.
Other notable administrative items
- Pam Aurel, finance director, was recognized for leadership after Lewisville received the Government Finance Officers Association certificate of achievement for excellence in financial reporting for fiscal year 2024; staff said this is the twentieth year the town has received the award.
- Police and traffic updates: Community policing sergeant P.J. Stringer presented July statistics and asked for patience during school‑traffic adjustments; the department continues to monitor school pick‑up/drop‑off changes and one‑way/right‑turn adjustments near Lucy Lane.
