The Week of April 27th - May 1st, 2020 in the City of Waxahachie!

Hello Neighbors!

I'd like to start this newsletter with the results of the emergency Council meeting of Thursday, April 23, 2020.  We voted 5-0 to approve the residential COVID-19 related relief in the form of a trash bill credit for 3 months and residents in good standing with Waxahachie City water will receive their deposit back in the form of a check, which will start going out soon.  For more information, please follow this link to the City's website: http://www.waxahachie.com/news_detail_T6_R161.php

As far as city meetings this week, there are only two so far on the calendar, but please check back here as meetings may be added: http://www.waxahachie.com/calendar.php

In this meeting, the IFCIAC will approve the minutes of their last meeting and will hear a presentation on the April 2020 Mid-Year Impact Fee Report.  For those interested in our city's infrastructure, you may find this meeting particularly interesting.  Impact fees are those fees charged to developers to help fund the cost of the infrastructure that will serve that development.

If you wish to watch the meeting, but not participate, the meeting will be live-streamed here: http://www.waxahachie.com/government/city_council/city_council_meeting_live_stream.php

Two of the cases you may be interested to hear are:

10 & 11 - Public Hearing for a detailed Site Plan review for a proposed extended stay (but not longer than 30 days per zoning ordinance) Home 2 Suites Hotel located at the SW corner of Rae Blvd. and John Arden Drive.

12 & 13 - Public Hearing for a Bahama Bucks Drive Through Establishment in the North Grove Business Park.  I had never heard of this business before, so I did some research to find it is a shaved ice and smoothie restaurant.  Here is their menu if you'd like to see what all they carry. https://www.bahamabucks.com/menu/index.html

----------------------------------------------------------
That's all for this upcoming week.  Since we've had an emergency called Council meeting each week for the past two weeks, I wouldn't be surprised if there is one this week, but as of right now, there isn't.

I hope that y'all are doing well and get a chance to enjoy the beautiful weather this weekend.  Have a wonderful weekend and week ahead Waxahachie!

Your Friendly Councilmember,

Melissa Olson
