Summary

The Waxahachie City Council voted to add a new article to the city code establishing a Waxahachie Cultural Arts and Heritage Commission; the ordinance passed on a voice vote after brief staff presentation.

Terry (city staff) presented an ordinance amending Chapter 2 of the City of Waxahachie Code of Ordinances to add a new Article 10 establishing the Waxahachie Cultural Arts and Heritage Commission. Terry said the ordinance had been discussed previously at a February work session and had undergone staff review.

A councilmember moved to approve the ordinance and a second was given; the motion carried on a voice vote. Council took no further action beyond adopting the ordinance.

Why it matters: the ordinance creates a permanent advisory body to advise the council on cultural arts and heritage matters; the council did not discuss membership details or implementation steps at length during the meeting.

Ending: Staff will proceed with implementation steps identified in the ordinance and return with procedural details as needed.
