The Week of November 2nd - 6th, 2020 in the City of Waxahachie

Hello Friends!

Wow! We're already in November and Election Day is Tuesday, November 3rd. There will be multiple voting locations for Tuesday, although the Elections office is NOT one of them.  Here is a link which will show you where you can go to cast your vote. Polls will be open from 7am - 7pm that day.  http://www.co.ellis.tx.us/DocumentCenter/View/11929/Early-Voting-and-Election-Day-Locations-11-03-2020?bidId=
 
We've had some city meetings lately and there's a lot going on at the airport.  You can see the details in the draft minutes here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pJ-Q47sikUbufavrdQO3t8DFGrvGnBIp/view?usp=sharing
 
We have a few meetings going on this week, but please check back on the city's website calendar to see if any more are added as we progress through the week.   http://www.waxahachie.com/calendar.php

6:30 PM - City Council Briefing
Council Conference Room, City Hall


This briefing is to discuss items for the 7:00 PM regular Council meeting.  It will not be live-streamed, but it is open to the public should you wish to attend.  These are always a great way to see what is going to be discussed at the meeting in a more relaxed setting.

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

Just a few items to point out at this meeting, as most is just regular business.

5c - Revised 2020 Holiday Schedule - The Council is going to approve adding Veteran's Day as a holiday for city employees.

5d - Accept the IFCIAC's recommendation letter for impact fees.  I'm not sure if this is the final approval for impact fees (fees assessed developers for infrastructure), as #7 on the agenda is setting a future public hearing to review impact fees, among other things.  I will be asking for clarification at the briefing.

This meeting is open to the public but will also be live-streamed and accessible via the following link: http://www.waxahachie.com/government/city_council/city_council_meeting_live_stream.php

8:30 AM - Cemetery Board Regular Meeting

This is the first meeting we've had of the Cemetery Board since March 12, 2020!  There is definitely some business to take care of during the meeting.

3. Reorganize the board (This has to be done with our boards after Council makes board appointments every year, around September.)

6. Discuss cemetery Capital Improvement Projects and take any necessary action.

7. Consider fees for sale of columbarium niches.

This meeting is open to the public, but will not be live-streamed.

That's all for this week, my friends.  I hope that everyone enjoys the beautiful weather we should be having and has a wonderful week ahead!

Thank you to all who have been so supportive during my time on the Council, it has been an incredible experience and no matter what happens on Tuesday, I'm very grateful for having had the opportunity to serve you all!
 
Your Friendly Councilmember,
