Special Meeting (March 3, 2027)

The Waco City Council held a special meeting on March 3, 2026, primarily focusing on administrative and procedural matters related to city boards and commissions. Key discussions included addressing quorum issues for the Building Standards Commission by proposing an ordinance amendment to allow alternate members, similar to the Zoning Board of Adjustment, to ensure meetings can proceed without cancellations. Additionally, the council considered changing the meeting time for boards and commissions from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM on the fourth Tuesday of each month to improve attendance and staff preparation. The meeting also included the second reading and approval of an ordinance establishing a municipal setting designation for the former Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center property, prohibiting groundwater use in that area as part of environmental health and safety measures. No new agenda items were requested, and the meeting was adjourned promptly after these discussions.
