Lewisville Budget Workshop 2025 Livecast

The City of Lewisville held a Budget Workshop on August 9, 2025, focusing extensively on the fiscal year 2026 budget proposals across multiple city funds including the general fund, utility fund, and special revenue funds. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of a tax rate increase to the voter approval rate of 0.419009, which would generate approximately $2.2 million in additional revenue to fund unfunded budget items. The workshop covered capital improvement projects such as street light conversions, traffic signal and cabinet replacements, and facility renovations. The city also discussed utility rate adjustments, including a 7.4% increase in water and sewer rates to support infrastructure reinvestment and debt service. Several new personnel requests were presented, including positions for engineering, police technology management, and public services maintenance crews. The council approved motions to adopt the preliminary budget, tax rate, and tax rules, and also amended employment contracts for key city officials. The meeting concluded with a presentation of the budget cover contest winner.
