Public Comments

The Lewisville City Council has established this formal Public Comment system as a means to solicit input on significant rulemaking decisions. It first was used in April 2009 when the council was considering multiple amendments to the city's gas and oil drilling ordinance. At the direction of council, this Public Comment page will be activated for a 30-day window to accept input on a specifically defined topic. To receive e-mail notification of any future Public Comment windows, click on the registration link at the bottom of this page.

Comment Period:

Proposed Changes:
When the Public Comment module is active, this section will provide details on the proposed rulemaking being considered or background on the issue being placed before the public for formal input. This could be a new or revised ordinance, or any other rulemaking opportunity being considered by the City Council. The status of this Public Comment module does not impact other existing methods for submitting comments, suggestions or concerns to city staff or elected officials -- all of those outlets remain available at all times and include e-mail, telephone, mail or attendance at public meetings.

Guidelines for Submitting Comments:
