Hello Friends!
I hope that y'all stay dry this week, as we are expected to have quite the rainy forecast! As far as city business goes, I have scanned in the draft minutes from the most recent board meetings for your review. They cover 6 meetings and 1 briefing and can be viewed here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZfQrIjAJQvJAaGnKh79RJpqnTA72Ddq4/view?usp=sharing
As far as meetings for this week, we only have the Council briefing and meeting so far on the calendar. You can always check back on the city's calendar to see if more meetings have been added here: https://www.waxahachie.com/calendar.php

6:00 PM - City Council Briefing
Council Conference Room, City Hall
This briefing is to discuss items for the 7:00 PM regular Council meeting. It is a great way to hear Council Q&A in a less formal setting and before decisions are made in the actual meeting. It is open to the public to attend; however, the briefing is not live-streamed at this time.

7:00 PM - City Council Regular Meeting
Council Chamber, City Hall
Agenda Packet: https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/document-uploads-001/uploads/video/agenda_file/120897/5-17-21_City_Council_Agenda_Packet.pdf
5(f): Authorize supplemental appropriation funding the runoff election on June 5, 2021. The amount requested is not supplied in the agenda packet, so I'll find out at the briefing Monday evening, but I think it is worth noting because these runoff elections are costing the taxpayers. I also think it might be a good idea to amend the charter so that the person with the highest vote in each place wins the race, thereby avoiding runoffs. Since this charter amendment has been effective, we have had at least one runoff per Council election. Just some food for thought. I'd like to know your thoughts on this as well.
18-20: Public hearing on a request by George Salvador, Lilian Custom Homes, for a zoning change from SF1 to PD-SF3. Staff is recommending approval per comments. More details can be found in the agenda packet link above.
24 & 25: Convene into Executive Session to discuss the positions of City Secretary and Municipal Court Judge as permitted by TGC, Section 551.074 and reconvene and take any necessary action. Your City Council has the power to appoint 3 city positions. These agenda items are in regards to two of the three positions. The third position is that of City Manager. I cannot give details regarding executive session items, but can say that we will most likely be taking action when we reconvene from the executive session.
As always, please feel free to read through the whole agenda packet to get the details on every item. I just try to pick those which I feel are the most relevant or of interest to citizens to highlight.
This is a public meeting and is open to the public to attend. It is also live-streamed and can be viewed through the following link at the time of the meeting: https://www.waxahachie.com/government/city_council/city_council_meeting_live_stream.php

I hope that y'all have a great rest of your weekend and a wonderful week ahead!
Your Friendly Councilmember,
Melissa Olson, CMO
