Hello Friends!
I hope everyone is doing well! We have a pretty short list of meetings this week, but before I get into those, I wanted to share a video with you. A recent news publication said that I "... refuse to talk." and that this person "...was once overly bothered by any candidate's refusal to be open and transparent...." For anyone who has been following me for any length of time, hopefully you've noticed that I am actually both open AND transparent. I happened to have a candidate interview already set up with someone else, but just not with that particular newspaper editor. In my interview, we discuss growth, taxes and more, so please feel free to check it out! If you still have any questions, please feel welcome to reach out to me. I love hearing from residents! 2022 Council Candidate Interview with Melissa Olson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMFw152eq98
For the May 7th, election, sample ballots are now available on Ellis County Election's website, but it's a little tricky to find your exact version. Here is a sample ballot for those living in Waxahachie City limits: https://www.co.ellis.tx.us/DocumentCenter/View/15877/Style-03 If you want to find your exact ballot based on your precinct, please visit:https://www.co.ellis.tx.us/702/Individual-Sample-Ballots . There are also 2 proposed Constitutional amendments to vote on, so you can read more about those on their website here: https://www.co.ellis.tx.us/DocumentCenter/View/15826

7 & 8: Public Hearing on a request by 7 Brew Drive-Thru Coffee, for a SUP (Specific Use Permit) for a Drive-Through coffee establishment located north of the intersection of Country Meadows Blvd and Hwy. 77. 7 Brew intends to serve coffees, teas and frozen drinks in this strictly drive-thru coffee shop. There will be no inside dining. Staff is recommending approval per comments.

That's about it for this agenda. There is a case for # 5 & 6, which is very routine; however, feel free to review it in the agenda packet, linked above.
