Hello Friends!
For those who normally catch my blog post on either "Waxahachie Talk" or "Waxahachie Buzz" Facebook groups, I will no longer be posting my newsletter on those sites. Unfortunately, either Facebook or others (not sure which), have reported it as spam. I have tried to alter the way that I post it, but it still comes up that way. I will still share on my personal Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/molson625 and on Nextdoor so that it is easily accessible to residents. I'm sorry if this causes any inconvenience!
Please note: City
offices will be closed Monday, January 17 in observance of Martin
Luther King Jr. Day. For non-emergency needs during this time, please
call the Waxahachie Police Department at 469-309-4400. For emergencies,
please dial 911. For this reason, our regular Council briefing and meeting will be held Tuesday, January 18th. There are no other meetings scheduled for next week at this time, although you can always check back on the city's calendar at https://www.waxahachie.com/calendar.php to see if any new ones are added.
For those interested in serving the community by being on the City Council, packets to run can be obtained from the City Secretary's office at City Hall. The first day to file your application to run for Council will be on 1/19/22 and the last day will be 2/18/22 (between the hours of 8 AM - 5 PM). If you have any questions about it, you can contact the City Secretary or I would be glad to help as well.
