NOTICE OF ASSISTANCE AT THE PUBLIC MEETINGS
The City will provide appropriate auxiliary aids and services, including sign language interpreters and assisted listening devices, whenever necessary to ensure effective communication with members of the public who have hearing, sight or speech impairments, unless doing so would result in a fundamental alteration of its programs or an undue financial burden. A person who requires an accommodation or auxiliary aid or service to participate in a City program, service or activity, should contact the sponsoring Department, or the Human Resource Department at 972-219-3450 or by Fax at 972-219-5005 as far in advance as possible but no later than 48 hours before the scheduled event.
The City Council reserves the right to adjourn into closed session at any time during the course of this meeting to discuss any of the matters listed above, as authorized by Texas Government Code Section 551.071 (Consultation with Attorney), 551.072 (Deliberations about Real Property), 551.073 (Deliberations about Gifts and Donations), 551.074 (Personnel Matters), 551.076 (Deliberations about Security Devices) and 551.087 (Economic Development).
The Texas Open Meetings Act, codified in Chapter 551 of the Texas Government Code, does not require an agenda posting where there is a gathering of a quorum of the City Council at a social function unrelated to the public business that is conducted by the City Council, or the attendance by a quorum of the City Council at a regional, state or national convention or workshop, ceremonial event or press conference if formal action is not taken and any discussion of public business is incidental to the social function, convention, workshop, ceremonial event or press conference. The City Secretary’s Office may occasionally post agendas for social functions, conventions, workshops, ceremonial events or press conferences; however, there is no legal requirement to do so and in the event a social function, convention, workshop, ceremonial event or press conference is not posted by the City Secretary’s Office, nothing shall preclude a quorum of the City Council from gathering as long as “deliberations” within the meaning of the Texas Open Meetings Act do not occur.
I do hereby certify that the above notice of meeting of the City of Lewisville City Council was posted at City Hall, City of Lewisville, Texas in compliance with Chapter 551, Texas Government Code on __________________, 2023 by ______ AM.
