Dear Citizens,
Spring is here and how beautiful it is with all the colors of green and the lovely wildflowers. Having a cold, rainy winter really makes us appreciate the sunshine of spring days.
If spring is here, can Arbor Daze be far behind? Yes, we are going to have another Arbor Daze celebration this year but it will be a different size and of course in a different place. We will be celebrating our trees and our families.
We want to return to a community festival for all ages at our City Hall Complex. We will even have a family walking event. Do reserve the date and plan to attend.
We truly appreciate all of you that attended our Town Hall meetings in January. We heard some really good ideas for cleaning up the city, good ideas for improving on activities and good ideas that show you care. A big topic was some clean up in south Euless. We heard you loud and clear. Just know that we will be enforcing our codes and policing efforts as well as encouraging our citizens to do their part in revitalizing the neighborhood. Euless is a great city to live and work in. We need to keep up our homes and yards and the city will do it's best to keep up the streets and sidewalks. Lets all join together in every neighborhood to do a spring clean-up.
Municipal and school elections will take place in May. The city has two council seats up for the three-year regular term and one seat that was vacated in January for a twoyear term. Please check the calendar for early voting and the regular election date as well as election locations.
Congratulations to our employee of the year, David Allen. David not only makes us proud in Euless but is well known throughout Tarrant County for his talents in Geographic Information Systems.
And congratulations to our new Police Chief, Michael Brown. Mike is a long time Euless resident and former police officer in Euless. Mike is committed to our community and to community policing. Welcome, Mike.
The Fire Department has formed an Honor Guard unit and participates in community events. What a proud moment it is to watch them perform with such dignity and honor. Thank you to those who spent so much time and talent in forming the Honor Guard. We have had a police Honor Guard for some time and they make us proud too.
Our Public Works Service Center should be completed shortly and it is a building we are proud of. It is located on south Westpark Way next to the fire station and animal shelter.
We have several new businesses in Euless and more opening in late spring. We continue to have new housing units going up around the city. Did you know that Euless is the fourth largest city in Tarrant County? Did you know there are thirty nine cities in Tarrant County? Euless continues to be well represented in many facets of government and community activities. There is so much going on in our city. Welcome if you are a new neighbor and come meet your other neighbors at our many events.
Our city volunteers are always on call and spring time is no different. Please check out all the activities listed inside and you should know we have volunteers at every event. Thank you, thank you.
Please take advantage of all the activities the city provides from the library to the parks and recreation centers to Open House tours for the Heritage Park and even to attend the city council meetings. And watch for our new spring Healthy Walks. Enjoy!
Mary Lib Saleh
Mayor
