3:00 PM - Parks Board Work Session
Parks Conference Room
401 South Elm, Waxahachie


The Park Board has been chosen to be the steering committee for the lake parks master plan and this meeting will involve a lot of conversation regarding future ideas for the lake parks.  Even though I am the Council representative to the Park Board, it was decided that a different Council member will serve on the steering committee due to their close proximity to the lake.

This is, however, a public meeting and all are welcome to listen in to the discussion.  There aren't going to be public comments, but this is the opportunity to hear about the future of those parks around the lake and which direction they may go.  Very interesting!  This meeting will not be live-streamed.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
That's all for this week!  I hope that each of you has a blessed day and a wonderful week ahead!
 
Your Friendly Councilmember,
