Hello Friends!

Happy snowy Sunday to you all.  I hope everyone is staying warm! 

We have several meetings this week, so let's jump in. To check the city's calendar at any point, you can go to the following link: http://www.waxahachie.com/calendar.php

8:30AM - Firemen's Relief & Retirement Fund Board Regular Meeting
Waxahachie Fire Station No. 1
407 Water Street


This agenda has some out of the ordinary items that you might find interesting.  Items 3-7 deal with adding a new firefighter and a new civilian member to the board.  They will then reorganize the board.  The rest of the agenda, which can be viewed above, is routine.  This meeting will not be live-streamed; however, it is a public city meeting and residents are welcome to attend.

6:15 PM - Planning and Zoning Commission Briefing
Conference Room, City Hall

 
This briefing will discuss items for the 7:00 PM regular P&Z meeting.  These are often highly informative and open to the public.  It will not be live-streamed at this time.
