It’s a time for transition. The days are getting warmer, the flowers are blooming and there is a sense of renewal and transition. Part of this Spring’s transition includes the General Election on May 2, when Euless residents will be voting on two Council member positions. I’m sorry to say that Salman Bhojani, Council Member and current Mayor Pro Tem, isn’t seeking reelection next month. We greatly appreciate all his contributions to the City, most recently as a Councilmember for three years and as a member of the Euless Parks and Leisure Services Board for three years prior to that. His knowledge and love of our City is obvious. Salman is energetic and passionate about giving back to our community, so I expect we will continue to see him volunteering his time to make Euless a great place. One last note, Euless City offices will be closed on Friday, April 2, but trash and recycling services will not be affected.
