Wow, what a difference a couple days make. I hope that everyone is enjoying this beautiful weather!
Here are the DRAFT board minutes from the last couple weeks of meetings, if you'd like to review: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1jhe_f0m0XVWmu7YsCky1pFelT3Yb-KrD
We have a few meetings this coming week, so let's jump right in!

--------------------------------------------
***6:00 PM - Council Work Session ***
Council Conference Room, City Hall
Agenda: https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/document-uploads-001/uploads/video/agenda_file/43590/3-2-20_City_Council_Work_Session_Agenda.pdf
This meeting is being held to hear a presentation of the City Hall Annex concept from Architexas. I don't know if this will be the same presentation given to the Heritage Preservation Commission, but it should at least be similar. Here is a write-up about it in the Waxahachie Sun Newspaper: https://www.waxahachiesun.com/business/city-hall-annex-drawings-discussed/article_2179ef0a-52d2-11ea-b853-1bee46e0b224.html
This meeting is open to the public. You can find the conference room by going through the City Secretary's office and turning right. This meeting will NOT be live-streamed by the City; however, residents have the right to record/stream the meeting.
=====================================
6:30 PM - Council Briefing Session
Council Conference Room, City Hall
Agenda: https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/document-uploads-001/uploads/video/agenda_file/43591/3-2-20_City_Council_Briefing_Agenda.pdf
This is simply a briefing to discuss agenda items for the 7:00 PM regular meeting.
Again, this meeting is open to the public, but will NOT be live-streamed by the City.
======================================
7:00 PM - City Council Regular Meeting
Council Chamber, City Hall
Agenda Packet: https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/document-uploads-001/uploads/video/agenda_file/43592/3-2-20_City_Council_Agenda_Packet.pdf
This will most likely be a pretty short meeting as there are just a few items on the agenda. A couple of them are worth noting though.
5a - Civil Service Commission Appointment (made by the City Manager) - Reverend Samuel Baker
7 - Consider City of Waxahachie Annual Financial Report for year ended September 30, 2019.
9 - Consider amendment to Mid-Way Regional Airport Rules and Regulations & Minimum Standards and Requirements
10 - Consider bid award for South Downtown Parking: This parking will mostly be for the Amphitheater, but can be used for the hike and bike trail or other downtown events as well. I'm excited to have extra parking, but feel that the funding mechanism should be different. I'll inquire about the funding at the meeting (or briefing). It is being proposed from the General Fund (mostly property taxes) vs a specific funding source (mostly sales tax / or TIRZ funds).
This will be live-streamed via the City and can be accessed through this link, once the meeting begins: http://www.waxahachie.com/government/city_council/city_council_meeting_live_stream.php
