The Week of November 9th - 13th, 2020 in the City of Waxahachie

    Hello Friends!

First of all, a huge thank you to everyone for your support!  I won re-election to the Waxahachie City Council (Place 3) and am looking forward to serving y'all the next 2 years.  The unofficial election results are here: https://www.co.ellis.tx.us/DocumentCenter/View/13011/Election-Results-Upload-WEB?bidId=  Waxahachie City Council races are on page 18.  David Hill won Place 1 and  Place 2 is still under discussion as to how to proceed.  It should go into a runoff between the two with the highest votes, but because Ms. Duran is ineligible to serve (she moved away), there is some confusion as to how this will play out.  That should be decided at a special meeting this coming week, most likely Thursday at noon.  The meeting has not been posted as of yet, but when it is, it will show on the city's calendar here: http://www.waxahachie.com/calendar.php

We have quite a few meetings this week, so let's get started!

--------------------------------------
Monday, November 9, 2020
--------------------------------------
8:30AM - Firemen's Relief & Retirement Fund Regular Meeting
Fire Station No. 1
407 Water Street, Waxahachie
 

This looks to be a fairly routine meeting, but all details are located in the agenda packet above.  The meeting is open to the public, should you wish to attend; however, the meeting will not be live-streamed.

--------------------------------------
Tuesday, November 10, 2020
--------------------------------------
3:00 PM - Waxahachie Community Development Corporation (WCDC) Regular Meeting
Council Chamber, City Hall


4. Consider award of bid to Sports Fields, Inc. for Sports Complex synthetic turf improvements.

5. Consider future meeting schedule for WCDC Board

This meeting is open to the public, but I don't believe it will be live-streamed at this time.

============================
6:15 PM - Planning & Zoning Briefing
Council Conference Room, City Hall


The purpose of the meeting is to discuss items for the 7:00 PM regular meeting. It is open to the public and I highly encourage residents to attend, as the briefings are a great way to hear what is going to be discussed in the main meeting in a more informal setting.

=============================
7:00 PM - Planning & Zoning Meeting
Council Chamber, City Hall

 
The meeting contains mostly routine items, although some cases which may be interesting to note are:
 
12 & 13 - Waxahachie Country Club is requesting an SUP (specific use permit) to allow for alcohol sales.
 
16 & 17 - Plan to open an O'Reilly's Auto Parts store south of 2980 N Highway 77.
 
20 & 21 - The applicant, Paula Justice at Secure More Storage, is requesting a planned development approval to provide 15 recreational vehicle (RV) parking spots.  Staff recommends approval, but has several conditions.  Details are in the agenda packet above.
