There are several work sessions, public hearings and Council meetings. It's also the time of year when the City Council becomes strong with our acronym game. We have a number of them such as CCPD, EDC and CIP. If you would like to up your acronym game, those stand for Crime Control and Prevention District, Euless Development Corporation and Capital Improvements Program. Now you see why we use the abbreviations! If you would like to attend any of these meetings, please join us in person, or watch the meetings on Cable channel 16 or AT&T U-verse channel 99, or streaming video on www.eulesstx.gov. City Council meetings are recorded and archived online, so you can always see current and past meetings. Please take a minute to get to know your Euless City Council. A brief summary about each of them can be found on page 2-3 of this newsletter. They serve "at -large" in Euless, which means they represent all of Euless rather than just one section of our city. ov_!r� "' � . Anes F)%J 'Aran ''Y jime Asphalt Improvements Coming to Euless Streets Asphalt overlay is used to protect and restore surfaces of paved roads and to combat the deterioration of the pavement caused by weather and traffic. Routine maintenance such as this helps to extend the life of the road and reduce restoration costs. The City of Euless has partnered with Tarrant County to perform asphalt overlays on five streets at the end of August. The streets are Vine St., Martha St., Sunset Dr., Whitener Rd. and Simmons Dr. This work will take approximately three weeks to complete. Tarrant County employees will provide the labor and equipment necessary to place a 2-inch overlay on the streets. The City of Euless will furnish and pay for the actual cost of the milling, materials and half of the fuel cost. The milled asphalt is reclaimed and reused on road projects. By performing asphalt overlays, the City is creating smooth riding surfaces for the present and avoiding costly repairs in the future. Euless Today is published by the City of Euless. 201 N.

Besides being irritating, they can also spread disease, such as West Nile virus, Zika virus and the St. Louis encephalitis virus. The best way to avoid getting one of these illnesses is to limit your exposure to mosquitos in the first place. You can do this by removing water sources where they breed and putting barriers on your skin. Lessen mosquito exposure by taking these actions: • Get rid any type of container in your yard that may hold water, even small amounts • Empty wading pools frequently and store them indoors when not in use • Repair leaky pipes and outside faucets • Change water in bird baths and scrub them twice a week • If you have outside pets, empty their watering dishes daily • Clean clogged roof gutters and drain flat roofs • Treat standing water that can't be drained with Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti), available at most home and garden stores • When possible, remain indoors at dusk and dawn, when mosquitos are most active • When outdoors, wear protective clothing or use insect repellent with the active ingredient DEET to avoid exposure to mosquitos The City of Euless traps mosquitoes weekly in different areas of Euless and Tarrant County tests those mosquitos. If a mosquito is positive for mosquito -borne illnesses, the City of Euless will then spray that area for mosquitoes. Mosquito spraying is typically done after 10 p.m. when most people are indoors. Spraying will not take place when it's raining or when wind speeds are 10 mph or greater. During the spraying, you do not need to do anything special, since the spray droplets falling on the ground become inactive in just a few hours or with sunshine (LTV light). You can get advance, email notice of mosquito spraying in your neighborhood by signing up for "Community Alerts" at eulesstx.gov/enotification. For questions or concerns regarding mosquitos, please call Public Works at 817-685-1580.
