Hello Friends!
I hope everyone is doing well this week. I have scanned in the draft minutes of recent board meetings for your review. For those who don't know, these used to be included in the City Council agenda packets and were taken out to be approved by each individual board, and because they're a great source of information, I provide them to you. Here they are: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bVaA5kBIzRjBztpRIBiHZBWUD7hiRNzJ/view?usp=sharing

6:30 PM - City Council Briefing
Council Conference Room, City Hall
This briefing is being held to discuss items for the 7:00 PM regular meeting. It will not be live-streamed, but is open to the public should you wish to attend.
================================
7:00 PM - City Council Regular Meeting
Council Chamber, City Hall
Agenda Packet: https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/document-uploads-001/uploads/video/agenda_file/80045/10-5-20_City_Council_Agenda_Packet.pdf
Here are some of the items that stand out on this agenda:
Consent Agenda Item C: Approval of the Homecoming parade for 2020 - I know a lot of folks have been wondering about whether or not we will be having a homecoming parade and this one is being set for Friday, October 30th, with a start time of 3:00PM.
19 - Consider authorizing the City Manager to enter into a contract with Waste Connections for our garbage services which will go into effect on 04/01/21. THIS IS SO EXCITING! I know it's just trash, but this will hopefully be a great quality of life improvement for all of us at a reduced cost! Here are some of the enhancements:
1 - replacing loose bag collection with a 95 gallon polycart (pickup once a week)
2 - replacing the existing 16 gallon recycling container with a 95 gallon polycart (pickup every other week - I wanted pickup every week, but was outvoted on that, so hopefully this will work out just fine)
3 - weekly bulk collection (currently we only get annual bulk collection)
4 - yard clippings may go in the weekly trash collection
5 - weekly household hazardous waste program for various chemicals, paints, and e-waste
6 - cardboard will be accepted in the recycling bin
**Since this item is listed as "Consider" on the agenda, if you wish to speak at the meeting about it, please use the Public Comments in the beginning of the meeting to address this issue.**
There are various P&Z items and a few other routine city items on the agenda, but you can see the details under the agenda packet link above.
The meeting will be live-streamed at this link: http://www.waxahachie.com/government/city_council/city_council_meeting_live_stream.php but it is also open to the public, should you wish to attend.

There is going to be a candidate forum on Tuesday evening that I'm not taking part in; however, I have already done an online interview for residents to hear my stance on various subjects including taxes and growth. You can view that here : https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=2740807132854541
As always, if you have any questions, comments or concerns, please reach out to me. Text is the fastest way, but please reach out in whichever way you are most comfortable. I wish you all the best and hope you have a good rest of your weekend and a wonderful week ahead!
Your Friendly Councilmember,
Melissa Olson
