Home My WebLink About2021-07 Euless Today1011 *July THE OFFICIAL THE CITY OF PUBLICATION OF EUL°ESS -City offices will be closed Monday, July 5 Trash and recycling service will run as scheduled. SP ILL . V� Independence Day! Dear Citizens, At the time of this writing in mid -May, Harry Zimmer has been reelected for another three years to the Euless City Council. We had four candidates running in Place 6, which has resulted in a runoff election in early June. Mr. Bhojani is continuing to serve in Place 6 until the runoff election is over. As Mayor, I appreciate that we have such a great interest in our local government. Our City Council Members are volunteers and do not receive a salary. Whether holding down full-time jobs or helping non- profit organizations, all of our Council Members have commitments beyond their City responsibilities that keep them busy. They serve vital roles and approve the City budget, work on special projects and participate in City Council Meetings twice a month. And yet, these dedicated volunteers devote their nights and weekends to serve our City. I am grateful for all the things these Council Members do for our City and our residents and I look forward to welcoming a new Council Member to Euless. ..WA • HEB Teen Court Scholarship Presentation Congratulations to the 2021 H.E.B.

Betterment Fund Improves the Community Have you ever wondered where the free trees at Arbor Daze come from? Or how the HEB Reads program is funded? Euless residents generously make these extras possible, but it's not through tax dollars. By simply donating 50 cents a month, citizens of Euless have helped to improve the community in many ways. The Betterment Fund, which is funded solely through donations on monthly water bills, is used to fund beautification, and other improvements to the community and the quality of life. The city has spent that money on programs such as the 1 + 1 = 2 Tree Program which supports the free tree program at Arbor Daze, the HEB Reads program, the Mayor's Holiday Kickoff, Christmas Tree Lighting, and other projects appropriated by the Council.

They are ideally situated in the DFW Metroplex, because they are minutes away from DFW International Airport, downtown Fort Worth and downtown Dallas. View the hotel list and a map of the area by going to the "Where to Stay" page under "City Information" on eulesstx.gov. Guests at these hotels pay a 7 percent hotel/motel occupancy tax, which the City receives as income. Funds generated by this occupancy tax must be expended for items that qualify in accordance with state law including the promotion of tourism, programs that enhance the arts, historical preservation programs and convention facilities. This revenue source continues to provide funding for the Texas Star Conference Centre and historical preservation, so the success of these hotels impacts our City. Enjoy Nature at Kiddie Carr Park Kiddie Carr Park 800 Pauline St., Euless Kiddie Carr Park is a pretty, 4-acre park nestled in a quiet neighborhood.
