The Week of August 3rd - 7th, 2020 in the City of Waxahachie

Hello Friends!

I hope everyone has been having a great weekend so far!  I can't believe it's August already.  Time is really flying!

Here are the DRAFT minutes from a few recent board meetings, for your review. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Kb_wMnZbXGQcjJediigNfn14aVxaqi_D/view?usp=sharing

Meetings can pop up later in the week, so please check on the City's calendar if there's one in particular you're interested in.  http://www.waxahachie.com/calendar.php

All meetings (and briefing) below are public and residents are welcome to sit in on them.

Monday, August 3, 2020
--------------------------------
6:00 PM - City Council Briefing
Council Conference Room, City Hall

Agenda: https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/document-uploads-001/uploads/video/agenda_file/74213/8-3-20_City_Council_Briefing_Agenda.pdf

This meeting is simply to discuss items for the 7:00 PM Council meeting.  These are highly informative and less formal than the regular meeting and if you haven't been to one, I strongly suggest you try it.  

This meeting will not be live-streamed.

======================================
7:00 PM - Waxahachie City Council Regular Meeting
Council Chamber, City Hall

Agenda Packet: https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/document-uploads-001/uploads/video/agenda_file/74214/8-3-20_City_Council_Agenda_Packet.pdf

6-8: Is a public hearing regarding a new subdivision coming in called Dove Hollow.  There have been several residents interested in this development due to its proximity to the Arbor of Willow Grove subdivision.  The only change that I can see in this paperwork since the P&Z meeting, is that the developer has made all the lots fronting Grove Creek Road 80' in width.  Staff is recommending approval with a development agreement.

9-11: This is a public hearing regarding an apartment complex near the new high school called Mark on Conquest II. Staff is recommending approval with a development agreement.

12-14: This public hearing for a multi-family senior living facility called the Gala at Waxahachie has been continued to the 8/17/20 Council meeting.  There will be no discussion of it at tonight's meeting.

19: Consider proposed ordinance approving Amended Order of Election to be held November 3, 2020. This is necessary because Governor Abbott extended the voting for the 11/3 election so voters will now have from Tuesday, October 13th - Friday, October 30th for early voting.

20: Convene into Executive Session for deliberation regarding real property.  I have no idea what we will be discussing or if we will take any action on said item. 

This meeting will be live-streamed and can be accessed via the following link: http://www.waxahachie.com/government/city_council/city_council_meeting_live_stream.php
