Lewisville Council Moves Forward with Historic Preservation Tax Extension Ballot Measure
The City Council discussed recommendations from a task force regarding the historic preservation tax. The task force recommended placing the expiring tax on the 2026 ballot for voter consideration, keeping the tax rate at 0.125% (1/8%), adjusting revenue allocations to be between 30% and 40% for the museum, adding flexibility for programming and capital improvements on city-owned facilities, and extending the tax for an additional 10 years. The council also engaged in extensive discussion regarding the museum allocation percentage, the potential for the tax to become a de facto museum tax, and whether the tax should be permanent or have a sunset clause. Ultimately, the council directed staff to prepare ballot language for a 10-year extension with a 30% allocation to the museum and including the flexibility for programming and capital improvements.
733 McKinley Avenue Designated Historic Landmark, Receives Preservation Grants
The City Council approved Resolution No. 58, Series 2026, designating the residence at 733 McKinley Avenue as a historical landmark, to be named the Hilton House. The resolution also approved a preservation and restoration grant for the property. The Historic Preservation Commission recommended approval, which staff also supported. The landmark designation includes a $7,700 incentive. An alteration certificate was approved for restoration work and a building addition. A preservation and restoration grant of up to $18,555 was recommended, along with a matching credit of $7,456. A new construction grant was also approved for the building addition. Council members discussed compatibility of proposed cedar siding with home hardening codes, with staff indicating exceptions might be made for historic elements but not new additions.
Lewisville Council Approves Water Metering Changes for Mobile Home Parks
The City Council considered Ordinance No. 1927, Series 2026, for the second reading, which amends Chapter 13.08 of the Municipal Code concerning the metering of water usage in mobile home parks. The ordinance allows for the installation of primary meters for mobile home park services. Concerns were raised and addressed regarding continued eligibility for utility billing assistance programs. The council also discussed communication strategies for informing residents about the changes, including sending notices in advance and meeting with park owners and residents. Council members debated the fairness of the ordinance, particularly concerning potential burdens on residents and differences in treatment compared to single-family homes. The ordinance passed on second reading.
Lewisville Council Advances Multiple Charter Amendments for 2026 Ballot
The City Council discussed and directed staff to prepare ballot language for several potential charter amendments for the 2026 ballot. These include aligning council member seating after elections with the certification of results, adjusting signature requirements for initiatives and referendums to 7.5% and 5% respectively, aligning executive session topics with state open meetings law, allowing public bodies to meet in non-public buildings, establishing a review and comment process for resident initiatives prior to submission, and updating terminology within the charter. The council also received direction regarding the number of ballot measures to pursue, with a preference for bringing forward all six charter amendments for consideration.
Lewisville Council Supports Amicus Brief in RMMA Airport Case
The City Council voted to support the Town of Superior and Boulder County by signing on to their amicus brief to the Colorado Supreme Court regarding airport noise and safety issues related to Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport (RMMA). The council determined that joining Broomfield's existing brief was the most feasible option given the tight deadline. The brief aims to address public safety concerns, noise pollution, emissions, and the potential for airport operations to constitute a public nuisance. While acknowledging the potential for dialogue with airport administration, the council opted to support the legal action due to a lack of perceived progress and good faith negotiations from airport authorities.
