Justin (city staff) told the Waxahachie City Council that state law requires the city to update its land‑use assumptions, capital improvements plan and associated impact fees every five years under the Texas Local Government Code. He asked the council to adopt a resolution establishing a date for a public hearing on the required update.

The council voted to adopt a resolution setting Aug. 18, 2025, as the date for a public hearing on the five‑year update to the city’s land‑use assumptions, capital improvements plan and the adoption of water, sewer and roadway impact fees. A councilmember moved to adopt the resolution and a second was given; the motion carried on a unanimous voice vote.

Why it matters: the Texas Local Government Code requires periodic updates to impact‑fee studies and a public hearing is the next required procedural step. Justin told the council the date in the draft resolution corresponds to a regularly scheduled council meeting and staff had placed a placeholder for the hearing’s time and location in the draft resolution that the council should confirm.

Action taken: adoption of the resolution establishing the public hearing date. Staff noted the draft resolution contains a placeholder for the hearing time and location and asked the council to confirm those details ahead of the hearing.

Ending: Staff will schedule the public hearing as adopted and provide public notice and the study materials in accordance with the Texas Local Government Code.
