Lewisville council hears police and administrative reports; announces fall events and vacancies

The Town of Lewisville’s administrative reports covered public-safety statistics, upcoming community events, volunteer opportunities and board openings.

PJ reported September activity: "September stats, 748 total calls for service, 401 checks, 35 traffic arrest, 10 of those being alarms," and added the department is seeing response times of about five minutes. PJ said the department’s focus near Lucy Lane has emphasized education of drivers around a new traffic pattern rather than citations. Council members publicly thanked PJ for coordination with the school system and for responding to a skunk-related service call at a resident’s home.

John reported several town events and service notices: a Starlight movie night showing Hocus Pocus 2 on Friday (the 10th) at the square (dusk), bulky item pickup beginning Monday Oct.13 with items at the curb by 6 a.m., a candidate forum on Oct.16 at the Mary Alice Warren Community Center hosted by the Louisville Civic Club, a fall clean-sweep Oct.18 and a special recycling event Oct.18 (10 a.m.–2 p.m.). He clarified the special recycling event accepts items not suitable for curbside recycling.

Staff also reported openings on the Lewisville Beautification Committee, the Zoning Board of Adjustment and the Willow Run Municipal Service District; interviews are planned and applications remain open. The chair noted a recent unveiling of a public-art work by resident Paul Spainhour and thanked the public-arts advisory committee for their work.

The administrative items were informational and did not require council action beyond acknowledgment.
