The Week of May 31st - June 4th, 2021 in the City of Waxahachie

Hello Friends!
 
I want to let y'all know that city offices will be closed Monday, May 31, in observance of Memorial Day. For non-emergency needs during this time, please call the Waxahachie Police Department at 469-309-4400. For emergencies, please dial 911.
 
There aren't too many meetings this week, but here is a link to the city's calendar in case more are added after Sunday: https://www.waxahachie.com/calendar_app/index.html   Also, we have a couple of out-of-the-ordinary meetings this week, so let's get started.
 
------------------------------------
Wednesday, June 2, 2021
------------------------------------
Noon - Civic Service Commission Regular Meeting
Waxahachie Police Department, Strategy Room
630 Farley Street, Waxahachie
 

The only action item on this agenda is for the Waxahachie Police to certify police entrance examination eligibility list created by written examination on May 15, 2021.

-------------------------------------------------------------
5:00 PM - City Council Work Session
Council Conference Room, City Hall
 
 
The only item on this agenda is to discuss the AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure) project.  This was discussed in more detail at the Council retreat and has to do with the potential for going to smart meters for our water service.  I am anticipating that the results of the smart meter analysis will be presented to Council to see if going to smart meters are even an option.  The study was conducted to see if the change would at least break even with the costs of implementation. 
 
There are some upsides to doing this change.  The one that I'm most excited about is the detailed usage information for city staff and citizens (web based and mobile apps) with leak and tamper alerts in near real time.  If you've ever had a leak at your house, you know that the water bill costs can easily reach into hundreds of dollars and there isn't much the city can do to write that off because the water was used. This has the potential to alert you whenever there is a leak so that you can catch it nearly right away and save a lot of money.

This meeting will most likely not be live-streamed, but it is an open meeting and residents have the ability to attend.  

-------------------------------------------------------
6:00 PM - CPAC - Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee Meeting
Council Chamber, City Hall


3 - Present summary of CPAC introduction survey and community assessment results

4 - Facilitate group discussion of CPAC members on various topics (listed in the agenda packet link above)

5 - Next steps and scheduling of community kickoff presentation

I'm not aware of whether this meeting will be live-streamed or not (most likely it will not), but it is open to the public, should you wish to attend. 
 
------------------------------------------------
8:30 AM - Cemetery Board Regular Meeting
Council Conference Room, City Hall
 
 
4 - Discuss cemetery activities and take any necessary action
 
5 - Discuss cemetery capital improvement projects and take any necessary action.
 
This is an open meeting and you are welcome to attend, but it will not be live-streamed.
 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please remember the last day of early voting for the City Council runoff is Tuesday, June 1st from 7a - 7p only at the Elections office.
