Coppell updates water restrictions

Lewisville sta take rst steps on 2024 bond projects

Lewisville sta are gearing up for projects addressing long-term capital improvement, in addition to waterworks and sewer system improvements. On July 15, City Council approved ordinances authorizing the issuance and sale of bonds that allocate $27 million for capital improvement projects and $16.3 million for water and sewer projects, according to city documents. The bonds were part of the four propositions Lewisville voters approved in May. The details The capital improvement projects include an expansion at the animal shelter and improvements to city streets, sidewalks and parks, per city documents. The bond also funds parkland acquisition and installation of public art. For water and sewer projects, city ocials aim to improve the wastewater treatment plant, replace lines and improve infrastructure, accord- ing to documents. The context In May, Lewisville residents approved a $263.4 million bond package aimed toward citywide Lewisville to consider city charter changes Community leaders and residents will soon get a chance to provide input on how the city of Lewisville’s government operates. At a July 15 meeting, City Council voted unanimously to appoint ve members to the 2024-25 charter review commission. In a nutshell City charters are similar to a constitution guiding the local government. According to city documents, an appointed ve-member group reviews the charter every ve years. The commission will meet for the next six months and propose changes. Residents can also submit suggestions. Mayor TJ Gilmore said any changes will come through council at the end of the six- month period and be put to voters in a May 2025 election.

Proposition breakdown

Coppell residents can water two days a week for nearly half of the year after council updated the water conservation plan July 9. Zooming in The new plan adjusted non-watering times, reduced weekly limits in each drought stage and increased nes. With the changes, residents and busi- nesses are prohibited from watering between 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. year round. Stage 1 restrictions are in place year round and limit watering to Wednesdays and Sundays for odd-numbered residential addresses, and to Tuesdays and Saturdays for even-numbered ones. Stage 2 is similar to Stage 1. Stage 3 limits watering to once a week. Stage 4 prohibits all watering. Without implementing an update, the city anticipates using 19 million gallons per day by 2025, a $350,000 annual increase in cost, Public Works Mike Garza said. Allowing the daily use to increase stresses the city water system, making failure more likely, he said.

Proposition A: $6.7M

for public safety projects, including re access facilities at Lewisville Lake Park and purchasing land for the relocation of Fire Station No. 4.

Proposition B: $9.9M

for expansion of the Gene Carey Animal Shelter and Adoption Center.

Proposition C: $47.9M

for parks projects, including new and expanded parks, trails and public open spaces citywide.

Proposition D: $198.9M

for street projects citywide, including infrastructure to support the proposed redevelopment of The Vista mall area.

infrastructure needs. The last time voters saw an infrastructure bond was in 2015, when they approved $135 million in four propositions.

Counties statewide to receive $3 billion for water projects On July 23, the Texas Water Development Board approved more than $3 billion in nancial assistance for projects statewide through the State Water Implementation Fund for Texas program, which helps communities mitigate cost by provid- ing favorable repayment terms. Various projects across Texas are set to receive funding, including nearly $483 million for two Upper Trinity Regional Water District projects. The details The UTRWD is using $320.8 million to continue construction of the Lake Ralph Hall reservoir in Fannin County and $162 million for the expansion of the Tom Harpool Regional Water Treatment Plant in Denton County north of Lewisville Lake, said Jason Pierce, manager of governmental aairs

and communications. As the region continues to grow, the district anticipates needing a new reservoir by the end of the 2020s. Construction began in 2021, Pierce said. Zooming in The district is in the design phase of the treatment plant expansion, Pierce said, which will increase capacity from 20 million gallons per day to 30 million by 2025, per district documents. The project should begin construction in the next 60 to 90 days, Pierce said.

Coppell ISD to consider tax rate election Coppell ISD trustees are moving forward with plans to call a voter-approval tax rate election after reviewing results from an efficiency audit July 22. CISD expects a nearly $10 million budget short- fall in fiscal year 2024-25 without the VATRE. The VATRE would raise the tax rate, resulting in a $147 annual tax increase per household and generating $2.4 million per year for the district, said Chief Financial Officer Diana Sircar. A VATRE election has to occur in November and must be called by Aug. 19. The context In the efficiency audit, CISD data was compared to surrounding district and state averages. CISD was slightly lower than the state and peer district averages for per-student revenue, which does not account for recapture—excess local tax revenue districts repay to the state. The district

DCAD budget adds to LISD funding issues An increase to Denton Central Appraisal District’s fiscal year 2024-25 budget poses more financial burdens on Lewisville ISD as it eyes a $8.4 million shortfall. School districts comprise almost 61% of the appraisal district’s $23.8 million budget, which was approved on June 13. LISD will pay $4.7 million into DCAD in FY 2024-25, a $525,000 increase from previous years, according to DCAD documents. The new DCAD budget is a $3 million increase from FY 2023-24. LISD’s DCAD payments rose by $1.6 mil- lion since FY 2018-19, Superintendent Lori Rapp said, while its general fund balance has reduced by $37 million since FY 2021-22. The county’s growth has caused DCAD to hire more personnel, Chief Appraiser Don Spencer said in a letter to LISD.

expects $24 million in recapture payments in FY 2024-25, per district documents. What else? District expenses per student exceeded its revenue by $300, and were lower than peer district and state averages. CISD spends almost 81% of its funds on staff compensation, per the audit. “This money will be used for salaries, safety and security, and classrooms,” said Chief Communica- tions Officer Angela Brown.

A road project that’s been planned since the 1990s has reached completion, providing com- muters in Lewisville a major east-west connector through the city. On July 25, a ribbon cutting was held for the $22.5 million Windhaven Parkway at Kansas City Southern Railroad project, which elevated a rail crossing and created a four-lane, divided roadway between Cookie Lane to Brown Knight Lane. “It’s one long continuous arterial street in fact … and it connects so many cities,” City Engineer David Salmon said. “That’s why that missing link was so important.” Why it matters In addition to creating the new stretch of road, the project makes Windhaven Parkway a continu- ous thoroughfare stretching from Plano to Flower Mound, though the name of the road changes in dierent municipalities. By elevating the rail line, Salmon said the

The center, located on Main Street, is one of the largest city projects at almost 300,000 square feet, Internal Services Manager Chris Presley said. The focal point is a 102,000-square-foot police and re administration building and central re station, a campus almost twice the size of previous buildings. Next to those buildings is a 169,000-square- foot parking garage above a 20,000-square-foot support building, Presley said. The support building will house canine units, a SWAT equipment room, and a space to process and store evidence, Assistant Police Chief Bill Wawro said. The re station has ve engine bays and an alert system for emergency calls, which will improve response times, Assistant Fire Chief Chris Sweet said. “The increased footprint allows ... the department to maintain its stock more eciently,” Sweet said.

massive projects going on at the same time,” Presley said. Supply chain issues and surges in material pricing during the COVID-19 pandemic contributed to fluctuations in project cost. Expenses exceeding the $95 million in bond funds were covered with surplus funds from other capital projects left over from previous bonds, Proce said. Both departments transitioned to the shared temporary space in 2023, allowing them to begin working in a collaborative facility, Rollins said.

About $5 million from the 2021 bond was allocated to renovate an existing structure off Lakeway Drive for police and fire to continue operations during construction of the new center, in addition to funding a modular fire station off McGee Lane, Presley said. Officials plan to convert the modular station into a salt brine facility to aid the city in manufacturing salt during cold weather once the departments move out. “As we were designing [the center], we were designing the temporary facilities, so it was two

Rollins plans to unveil a system that holds officers accountable for respective sections of the city. “You’re going to get better service from this building because people will be glad to be here,” Presley said. “If we can improve someone and their service by 1% or 2% because of the new building, we’ve just made the city a better place.”

The city is eyeing the first quarter of 2025 for personnel to transition to the new center, an operation Rollins anticipates could take between 30-90 days. In addition to resident communication, and police and fire collaboration, Rollins and Sweet said both departments will prioritize recruitment and retention as well as improving service once settled in.

The police and fire departments’ close proximity also enables quick, precise communication that is crucial during emergencies, Wawro said.

Audrey Quezada Buttery Garden oers new oasis

Leadership Lewisville Class 38 planted owers known to attract butteries.

When Class 38 of Leadership Lewisville, a program of the city’s chamber of commerce, was tasked with nding a community project, Allison Quisenberry suggested building a buttery garden and little library at nonprot Serve Lewisville, where she serves as development director. After the death of fellow classmate Sally Quezada’s 16-year-old daughter in December, the project was dedicated in her honor. On June 27, a ribbon cutting ceremony and buttery release was held for the Audrey Quezada Buttery Garden. The inspiration Quezada said Audrey was born with Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome, which caused her to have back-to-back seizures. Doctors gave her a ve-year life expectancy and said she would be wheelchair bound. “She surpassed those goals. She was a ghter,” Quezada said. “She was beautiful and had a contagious smile. Everyone knew her by her smile and she loved hugs.” Quezada said Audrey also loved butteries. One of her Hebron High School teachers called her a buttery due to the transformation Audrey undertook as her student. “She loved the outdoors,” Quezada said. “I think she would love [the buttery garden]. She loved colors and there will be a lot of bright colors. Nature was her sanctuary, her peace.”

Who it’s for Quisenberry said the mission of Serve Lewis- ville, which opened in July 2023, is to partner with the community to help people in need. She added that the garden and library would benet those seeking services from the other non- prots housed at Serve Lewisville, including My Health My Resources Denton and Tarrant County, Boys and Girls Club of Greater Tarrant County and Single Parent Advocate. “You’re not in the best mental space when you go get assistance [from these nonprots] but this will make it better,” Quisenberry said. “I thought it would be a great way for those who work in the community and work for the nonprots in the building to go and relax and get away from the stress—step outside and get a breath of fresh air.” The set up Leadership Lewisville Class 38 had a workday in May to plant owers known to attract butteries such as buttonbush, Texas lantana, mistower and milkweed. The little library was stocked with children’s books during the ribbon cutting. The garden and library will be maintained by Serve Lewisville. “We’re located next to an elementary school so we have a lot of students who walk by and we wanted to provide some books for them to take home,” Quisenberry said. “It’s a way to honor Audrey and the legacy she has in the community.”
