Council approves pavement-preservation contracts, calls May election and reauthorizes economic-development policy
Summary
At its Feb. 3 meeting, the Waxahachie City Council unanimously approved two pavement-preservation contracts, adopted an ordinance calling the May 3 election for at-large council places 4 and 5, and reauthorized its economic development incentives policy under state law.
The Waxahachie City Council unanimously approved contracts for concrete and asphalt pavement-preservation work, passed an ordinance ordering the May 3 general election for at‑large council places 4 and 5, and reauthorized the city's economic development incentives policy during its Feb. 3 meeting.
The council authorized a contract with Anadale Construction Inc. for a concrete resurfacing product in an amount "not to exceed $276,794 plus a contingency of $13,840," and authorized the city manager to execute necessary documents. The motion carried unanimously; a roll-call tally was not recorded on the transcript.
The council also approved a contract with Donaldson Construction Company LLC for an asphalt pavement-preservation product in an amount "not to exceed $750,000" and authorized the city manager to execute documents for that work. That motion also carried unanimously.
On elections, the council approved an ordinance ordering the May 3 general election to elect at-large council members for places 4 and 5, provided for filing of applications and early-voting arrangements, and noted the city will run a joint election with the county using multiple vote centers. The ordinance was approved unanimously; staff said a formal contract for election services would follow after filing deadlines clarified participants.
Separately, the council held a public hearing and then voted unanimously to reauthorize its Guidelines and Criteria Policy for governing economic development incentives, which the presenter said must be reauthorized every two years under Chapter 312 of the Texas tax code. The presenter said only minor grammatical changes were made; the Economic Development Commission had unanimously recommended reauthorization at its Jan. 22 meeting.
The consent agenda was approved in a single unanimous motion; the mayor or city manager is authorized to execute documents necessary to implement items on that agenda.
