The Week of January 17th - 21st, 2022 in the City of Waxahachie

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.

This is a fairly short agenda, but there are a couple of items I'd like to point out:
 
7: Present proclamation proclaiming January 17 - 21, 2022 as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Week
 
8: Hear presentation on "Shop with a Cop"
 
11 - 13: Continue Public Hearing on request by Terrance Jobe, for a zoning change located west of 2374 W Hwy 287 Bypass.  This is the continuation of the case for the proposed development called Montclair Heights.  At the Planning & Zoning Commission meeting held January 11, 2022, the Commission voted 7-0 to recommend approval for this case, subject to staff comments.  Staff is also recommending approval per comments.

14 - 16: Continue Public Hearing on request by Yomi and Siyanade Fayiga for zoning change located at Broadhead Road (next to Howard JH).  At the Planning & Zoning Commission meeting on January 11, 2022, the Commission voted 7-0 to recommend approval of zoning change subject to all staff comments.  Staff are recommending approval per comments.  

18 & 19: Convene into Executive Session for deliberation regarding real property and to discuss personnel matters for Municipal Court Judge/ Associate Judge and then to reconvene and take any necessary action.

Residents are invited to attend the meeting in person, but it will also be live-streamed at the following link: https://www.waxahachie.com/government/city_council/city_council_meeting_live_stream.php

That's about it for this week!  I hope everyone has a great rest of the weekend and a wonderful week ahead!  Stay warm!
