There has been a lot of the community uniting to help others in need and THAT is the Waxahachie that I know and love. Thank you to everyone who has helped others and supported our local businesses via delivery orders/food/etc. You are helping our businesses and community get through this tough time. Not to sound cliche' but please keep in mind that tough times don't last, although tough PEOPLE do. We are #HachieStrong.
Please continue washing your hands diligently even though we don't have any confirmed cases of COVID-19 so far in Waxahachie. There are two cases in Ellis County. This is the most current information as of Saturday, 3/21/20 at 2:00PM, but as everyone knows, this is a rapidly-evolving situation and I'm sure that these numbers will change by tomorrow, if not by the next hour.
This week's newsletter will be a little different. We only have one meeting scheduled for this week and things will be different for that, but first I'd like to provide some information. City Hall is closed to the public right now in accordance with Governor Abbott's orders; however, here is a link the City has made to inform everyone of information regarding COVID-19 and contact information for conducting city business online or by phone. http://www.waxahachie.com/covid-19_resources/index.php From the City link, you can then visit the County, WISD and more. There is a plethora of information through the link. Please take a minute to go through the site and see everything that is happening.
The only meeting we have this week will be on Tuesday. Because City Hall is closed, individuals will not be allowed to physically attend the meeting but may attend and participate in the meeting via telephone conference call. To participate in the telephone conference call, Dial 1 (888) 210-1560, PIN: 8841538 to speak on public comments or an agenda item. If you wish to watch the meeting, but not have comments during public comments or during a public hearing item, you may watch it live-streamed via this link: http://www.waxahachie.com/government/city_council/city_council_meeting_live_stream.php
* Please keep in mind that if you'd like to address the board on a NON public hearing item, please do so during the public comments section at the number listed above. *
