7:00 PM - City Council Regular Meeting
Council Chamber, City Hall

Agenda Packet: https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/document-uploads-001/uploads/video/agenda_file/139756/9-20-21_CC_Agenda_Packet.pdf
15 - 17: This P&Z case, ZDC-131-2021, is a public hearing on a request by Brad Yates, Colonial Restoration Group, for a PD to allow an event center within a Single Family 3 Zoning District located at 716 Dunaway St. This is worth mentioning because it is a bit irregular to allow such a use in a neighborhood, but staff is recommending approval per staff comments. It would definitely be great to have this building refurbished and able to be used again. I personally have some of the same concerns as staff, with regards to noise that may result from being an event center with an outdoor courtyard.
21 - Consider proposed Resolution for Candidate Nominations for the Ellis Appraisal District Board of Directors for the Years 2022-2023. The way this works should definitely be changed by the legislature, but as of now, taxing entities are charged with selecting the Board of Directors for the appraisal district. Each entity receives a certain number of votes - I believe based on their total taxable value, but I could be off on that.
This Board of six directors governs the Appraisal District. Board members
select and hire the Chief Appraiser, adopt the annual District budget,
appoint the Appraisal Review Board, appoint a Property Owner Liaison
Officer, and ensure the District follows policies and procedures
required by law. The Board of Directors does not appraise property or make decisions affecting the appraisal records.
I currently do not have any nominees for this position, nor am I aware of any nominees from the rest of Council. That being said, candidates will most likely be nominated at the briefing or meeting for the position by various members of Council, but it is totally possible that there will be no nominations either. We will just have to wait until the briefing and meeting on Monday to see.
This meeting is open to the public to attend, but will also be live-streamed at the following link: https://www.waxahachie.com/government/city_council/city_council_meeting_live_stream.php
