7:00 PM - City Council Regular Meeting
Council Chamber, City Hall
Agenda Packet: https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/document-uploads-001/uploads/video/agenda_file/114369/3-15-21_City_Council_Agenda_Packet.pdf
This is a fairly short agenda, but there are a couple of items worth mentioning.
10-12: Public hearing on a zoning change for a Planned Development-General Retail located at the SW corner of Farley St. at Highway 287. This has been approved by the P&Z Commission and staff is recommending approval as well.
14 & 15: Each of these items is regarding a PID (Public Improvement District), one for an area of North Grove and the other for Emory Lakes. Approval of the PID does NOT mean approval of Emory Lakes. For more information on PIDs, please refer to this source from the Texas Municipal League: https://www.tml.org/DocumentCenter/View/234/Assessments---2015-11-PDF
16: Discuss appointment of Comprehensive Plan Committee and take any necessary action. After receiving the staff recommendations in the briefing, the Council will take action on those recommendations or if more discussion is necessary, will continue this until the next Council meeting, which will be on April 5th.
The City Council meeting will be live-streamed and available at this link: http://www.waxahachie.com/government/city_council/city_council_meeting_live_stream.php The meeting is also open to the public, should you wish to attend in person.

4:00 PM - Mid-Way Regional Airport Board Regular Meeting
Upstairs Common Area of Mid-Way Regional Airport
131 Airport Dr., Midlothian, Texas
5: Consider request to rename airport. Upon inquiring on this item, I've been told that there has been some interest to renaming the airport after Bessie Coleman. While she is definitely worth renaming the airport, she already has a street named after her and there has been little traction in the way of renaming the airport in the past. Also, because the airport belongs to both Midlothian and Waxahachie, both entities would have to agree to a name change.
9: Discuss requirements for sprinkler systems in hangars.
10: Discuss airport encroachment concerns.
11: Discuss FY 2022 airport budget.
This meeting is not live-streamed at this time, but is open to the public to attend.
------------------------------------------------------------
That is about all for this week! I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend and have a wonderful week ahead!
Your Friendly Councilmember,
Melissa Olson, CMO
