To: Capital Improvement Task Force
From: W. M. (Blackie) Sustaire
Date: March 28, 1986
Re: PURPOSE AND ORGANIZATION
Let me start off by giving each of you my personal thanks for volunteering to work
on the Capital Improvement Task Force. Knowing how busy and involved you are
in so many areas, I appreciate even more your commitment. Most important
though is that, upon completion of this project, you can rest assured your
participation will have played an important roll in the direction Euless will follow
into the 21st century. As I explained on the telephone, the purpose of this
committee is to act as a study commission and advisory board to the City of Euless
in addressing the capital needs that Euless has before it.
As you well know, Euless is sitting in the middle of one of the hottest growth areas
in the country. Our 1960 population was 4,263, and by 1970 it had grown to
19,316. In 1980 our population was up to 24,002. Most dramatic though is that
when the new population numbers are announced by the Council of Governments
(COG) in the next 30 to 60 days, our January 1, 1986, population will be estimated
between 40,000 and 41,000. This growth will continue at a slower pace over the
next two to three years, but will vacillate with economic conditions. Our
population should peak at approximately 75,000 people by the year 2,015. For
planning purposes, we are using the population projection of 74,772, as you can see
from Attachment One. Along with this population growth, we are also
experiencing healthy growth in the retail, industrial and service establishments
which can be seen with a quick drive through our community. What all of this
growth means is that there will be an ever increasing demand upon local
government to provide services and facilities.
The purpose of the Task Force Committee will be to study these needs and assist
the City in preparing a capital improvement plan that will adequately address both
Capital Improvement Task Force -2- March 28, 1986
our citizens' wants and needs.
This committee will be formally announced by
Mayor Samuels on April 5, 1986, as a part of the Sesquicentennial celebration. We
hope as many of you as possible will be able to attend the festivities planned for
that day. You will be advised by mail of the first organizational meeting to be
held later in the month of April.
There are several critical areas the committee will be asked to address. These
will include facilities that the City will need to operate in the coming years. It
will include roads and highway projects that will be needed for an effective
transportation system. It will also include major drainage problems throughout the
community, along with any other projects the committee feels we should consider
for our community. A list of projects that the staff and Council have already
noted as present future needs are listed in Attachments Two and Three for your
review. These can serve as a starting point for the study.
Another area the Commission will be asked to address is to prioritize each
individual project. Since we do not have an unlimited budget to address these
needs, priorities will have to be placed on projects so that they can be phased into.
Projects will have to be not only addressed from the standpoint of what we want,
but also what we can afford.
The last item for the committee will be to assist us in taking these projects to
the voters in a bond election. When the committee is finished, a recommended
capital improvement program will be forwarded to the City Council for their
consideration. From there it must go to the voters of Euless for final approval.
All the good planning in the world can be worthless if the issues are not properly
presented to the voters for consideration. We want to be able to say after the
election that, if an issue fails, it was because the voters simply did not want the
project, and not because they were inadequately informed of why the issue was on
the ballot and what the needs of the project were.
The committee will be given assistance and support by the City staff throughout
the project. For some time they have been studying what they consider will be
Capital Improvement Task Force -3- March 27, 1986
needs. They have also been doing comparisons of cities in the 60,000 to 100,000
population in the metroplex as a comparison of what we will need when we reach
that size.
All of this information, along with information you may request, will be supplied
during this project. Also, architects are being selected at this time to assist us
with doing preliminary designs on facilities. This includes square footage needs
and cost estimates that we must have for decisions to be made and bond elections
to be held.
This may sound like a staggering project, but let me assure you that we will have
it organized so that it will require a minimum amount of meetings and hours. It
should prove to be an exciting and fun project. As our motto says "Euless is
Building a Beautiful Tomorrow," and we are glad you are going to be a part of the
planning for this tomorrow.
Please feel free to call upon either myself or members of our staff if we can
answer any questions.

"We're Building a Beautiful Tomorrow"
Dear Members of the Capital Improvement Task Force:
We wanted to extend to each of you a welcome, and thank you for agreeing
to serve in this capacity. Mayor Harold Samuels has appointed three co-
chairmen to serve in a leadership -capacity for this task force. We are
appreciative of having the opportunity to serve in this regard, and seek the
assistance and support of each one of you.
We plan to have our first organization meeting in mid -to -late May.
Arrangements and schedules are being made now, and we will be com-
municating with you further in a week or two. In the meantime, you might
want to be thinking about the information sent to you on March 28th, as well
as those areas of interest to you.
Thank you, again, for your service to the citizens of Euless in this important
endeavor.
Sincerely,
You Co -Chairmen:

TO: Bill Pasteur
FROM: W.M. "Blackie" Sustaire
DATE: June 2, 1986
SUBJECT: Capital Improvement Task Force
Bill, in this memo we will try to give you some background information
that will assist you in conducting the first orientation meeting
Thursday evening.
As you know, there will be three (3) Co -Chairmen for the overall Task
Force. They include Bob Pippin, Jimmy Payton, and yourself.
We have divided the Task Force into three (3) sub -committees to
address separate issues. We have then assigned a chairman to each of
these sub -committees. These sub -committees comprise the following:
"Street, Drainage, and Right -of -Way Sub -Committee," whose Chairman
will be Scott Heitman, with Bob Pippin being the Task Force Chairman
assigned to this sub -committee; "Parks, Recreation, Leisure, and
Social Services Needs Sub -Committee," whose Chairman will be George
McKinney, with yourself being the Task Force Chairman assigned to this
sub -committee; and "Facilities Sub -Committee," whose Chairman will be
Joe Koenig, with Jimmy Payton being the Task Force Chairman assigned
to this sub -committee.
The objective of the "Street, Drainage, and Right -of -Way
Sub -Committee" will be to address both the existing and future needs
of the City of Euless in the areas of streets, drainage improvements,
and right-of-way needs. In the areas of streets and right-of-ways the
objective will be to come up with projects that will handle the
internal traffic movements within our community, plus the through
traffic that we will experience increasingly as time goes by. Some
thought should also be given to what improvements we might need to
make for future mass transportation systems (i.e., park -and -ride lots
especially). Right-of-way acquisition should be a priority from the
standpoint that if it's going to be needed in the future we should
acquire it as soon as possible. Justification for projects should
also be addressed. This will be important in prioritizing which
projects should be completed first. Examples of justification
including traffic counts, traffic bottle -necks, accidents,
rights -of -way being donated, strong developer participation, which
lowers city's cost, causing commercial or industrial projects to
become feasible, etc. While addressing road systems, signalization
needs and intersection improvements also should be addressed. Adding
a signal light or improving an intersection sometimes delays a major
roadway. Last, the committee should address drainage problems and
their solution throughout the community.
"Parks, Recreation, Leisure, and Social Service Needs Sub -Committee"
objectives will be to address new parks or improvements to existing
parks; recreation facilities, leisure facilities, and social service
programs and/or facilities. These areas should be looked at from the
standpoint of not only what is needed, but what is wanted. This point
is especially important in the parks, recreation and leisure services.
4,
You may want to start by looking at what is wanted and later we will
address what we can afford. In the area of social services, we would
like information as to what services in the social arena we should be
providing in the future. This will help us in determining what other
facilities will be needed. The sub -committee might want to visit some
of our survey cities to see what programs they are providing.
Examples of these types of social services might include more services
for the aged, health related services, and family services.
"Facilities Sub -Committee" objectives will be to address what new
facilities or expansions to existing facilities will be needed in the
future. Facilities that need to be addressed include city hall
expansion, library expansion, police building expansion, service
center needs, new fire station, renovation of old fire station, and
civic center needs. Naturally the size of some of these facilities
will be determined by the type of services we will provide and the
staff level. We have had the staff working on staffing projections,
and this information will be provided to the sub -committee. Further,
we have retained architects to assist us in planning for these needs.
Many decisions that will be made on certain facilities affect other
facilities. That is why we have to address these all together. This
is another sub -committee that might want to visit some facilities in
other communities.
It is our thought that the Sub -Committee Chairmen and the
Sub -Committees decide their own meeting dates and times. Each
sub -committee has a key staff member assigned as their city liaison:
1) Streets, Drainage, and Right -of -Way - James Knight,
Director of Public Works
2) Park, Recreation, Leisure, and Social Services - K.B.
Fuller, Director of Community Services
3) Facilities - Lynn Shackelford, Director of
Administrative Services
In addition, other department heads will be available to work with the
sub -committees regarding their areas. Tom Hart and myself will also
provide support to these sub -committees as best we can.
My thinking is:
1) The task of the sub -committees should be to "brain storm" a basic
needs list that may verge on being called a wish list.
2) The committees should work with the staff in determining the scope
of each project (i.e., the size of a building, land needed, 4-6 lane
thoroughfare, etc.).
3) The committee should determine how strong the need is, or
justification for the project, and ramifications, good or bad, if the
project is done or not.
4) The committee should work with the staff, engineers, and
architects in determining cost estimates if possible at this stage.
5) The sub -committees should look at some type of rankings on the
projects they have addressed.
We would like to see the sub -committees try to have this completed in
about 90 days. We would then like to bring each of the Co -Chairmen of
the Task Force and the Sub -Committee Chairmen together to consolidate
the work of the three (3) sub -committees into one recommendation to
the City Council. This final report to the Council should give them
the information needed to make a final decision of what projects
should be included in a bond election to go to the voters, and also
information to assist them in prioritizing which projects should be
completed first.
Bill, a list of the sub -committees is attached for your review.
Please call on any of the staff if we can be of assistance as you
progress forward on this project. Thank you for your assistance.

I am sorry that you missed the organizational meeting of the
Euless Task Force this last Thursday night. Thank you for
your letter.
If you were not aware, you have been appointed sub committee
chairman for the.Parks and Recreation Sub Committee. Congratu-
lations!
I am your liaison with the Task Force as a whole.
In your absence I did chair your committee, which, inciden-
tally, is a great group.
The sub committee decided to meet at 7:30 P.M., June 19 at the
City Hall. Due to prior commitments, I will not be able to
attend this meeting and therefore, need to bring you up to date.
The city staff officer assigned to your sub committee is Kenneth
Fuller, Director of Community Services. Please contact him to
arrange for a room to meet in and to send out notices to the
members of your sub committee.
Basically, what is to transpire at the next meeting is that the
city staff is to bring forth data stipulating what we have today
pertaining to parks, recreation, leisure and social services, in-
cluding improvements and square footage of facilities. Then these
facts are to be contrasted with facilities provided by two or
three other cities of about twice our size to give us an indica-
tion as to what will be needed in the future. Best of luck to you
at the meeting and since the committee has decided to meet bi-
weekly and the second meeting would fall on Thursday, July 3,
PHONE: 267-2623 • 2275 WESTPARK COURT, SUITE 202 • EULESS, TEXAS 76040

which everyone agrees, is not an opportune time, I would re-
quest that you atk the committee to meet on Thursday, July 10
and biweekly thereafter, which should give us plenty of time
to accomplish our task. Call me if you need me.
Sincerely,

FROM: W.M. "Blackie" Sustaire
DATE: June 2, 1986
SUBJECT: Capital Improvement Task Force
Bill, in this memo we will try to give you some background information
that will assist you in .conducting the first orientation meeting
Thursday evening.
As you know, there will be three (3) Co -Chairmen for the overall Task
Force. They include Bob Pippin, Jimmy Payton, and yourself.
We have divided the Task Force into three (3) sub -committees to
address separate issues.. We have then assigned a chairman to each of
these sub -committees. These sub -committees comprise the following:
"Street, Drainage, and Right -of -Way Sub -Committee," whose Chairman
will be Scott Heitman, with Bob Pippin being the Task Force Chairman
assigned to this sub -committee; "Parks, Recreation, Leisure, and
Social Services Needs Sub -Committee," whose Chairman will be George
McKinney, with yourself being the Task Force Chairman assigned to this
sub -committee; and "Facilities Sub -Committee," whose Chairman will be
Joe Koenig, with Jimmy Payton being the Task Force Chairman assigned
to this sub -committee.
M
The objective of the "Street, Drainage, and Right -of -Way
Sub -Committee" will be to address both the existing and future needs
of the City of Euless in the areas of streets, drainage improvements,
and right-of-way needs. In the areas of streets and right-of-ways the
objective will be to come up with projects that will handle the
internal traffic movements within our community, plus the through
traffic that we will experience increasingly as time goes by. Some
thought should also be given to what improvements we might need to
make for future mass transportation systems (i.e., park -and -ride lots
especially). Right-of-way acquisition should be a priority from the
standpoint that if it's going to be needed in the future we should
acquire it as soon as possible. Justification for projects should
also be addressed. This will be important in prioritizing which
projects should be completed first. Examples of justification
including traffic counts, traffic bottle -necks, accidents,
rights -of -way being donated, strong developer participation, which
lowers city's cost, causing commercial or industrial, projects to
become feasible, etc. While addressing road systems, signalization
needs and intersection improvements also should be addressed. Adding
a signal light or improving an intersection sometimes 'delays a major
roadway. Last, the committee should address drainage problems and
their solution throughout the community.
"Parks, Recreation, Leisure, and Social Service Needs Sub -Committee"
objectives will be to address new parks or improvements to existing
parks; recreation facilities, leisure facilities, and social service
programs and/or facilities. These areas should be looked at from the
standpoint of not only what is needed, but what is wanted. This point
is especially important in the parks, recreation and leisure services.
You may want to start by looking at what: is wanted and taLe- r we wilt
address what we can afford. ]n Lhe area of soc:isI services, we would
like information as to what services in the social arena we should be
providing in the future. This will help us in determining wnac ocner
facilities will be needed. The sub -committee might want to visit some
of our survey cities to see what programs they are providing.
Examples of these,types of social services might include more services
for the aged, health related services, and family services.
''Facilities Sub -Committee" objectives will be to address what new
facilities or expansions to existing facilities will be needed in the
future. Facilities that need to be addressed include city hall
expansion, library expansion, police building expansion, service
center needs, new fire station, renovation of old fire station, and
civic center needs. Naturally the size of some of these facilities
will be determined by the type of services we will provide and the
staff level. We have had the staff working on staffing projections,
and this information will be provided to the sub -committee. Further,
we have retained architects to assist us in planning for these needs.
I Many decisions that will be made on certain facilities affect other
facilities. That is why we have to address these all together. This
is another sub -committee that might want to visit some facilities in
other communities.
It is our thought that the Sub -Committee Chairmen and the
Sub -Committees decide their own meeting dates and times. hack
sub -committee has a key staff member assigned as their city liaison:
1) Streets, Drainage, and Right -of -Way - James Knight,
Director of Public Works
rh
2) Park, Recreation, Leisure, and Social Services - K.B.
Fuller, Director of Community Services
3) Facilities - Lynn Shackelford, Director of
Administrative Services
In addition, other department heads will be available to work with the
sub -committees regarding their areas. Tom Hart and myself will also
provide support to these sub -committees as best we can.
My thinking is:
1) The task of the sub -committees should be to "brain storm" a basic
needs list that may verge on being called a wish list.
2) The committees should work with the staff in determining the scope
of each project (i.e., the size of a building, land needed, 4-6 lane
thoroughfare, etc.).
3) The, committee should determine how strong the need is, or
justification for the project, and ramifications, good'or bad, if the
project is done or not.
4) The committee should work with the staff, engineers, and
architects in determining cost estimates if possible at this stage.
5) The sub -committees should look at some type of rankings on the
projects they have addressed.
We would like to see the sub -committees try to have this completed in
about 90 days. We would then like to bring each of the Co -Chairmen of
the Task Force and the Sub -Committee Chairmen together to consolidate
the work of the three (3) sub-coi:unittees into one recommendation to
the City Council. This final report to the Council should give them
the information needed to make a final decision of what projects
should be included -in a bond election to go to the voters, and also
information to assist them in prioritizing which projects should be
completed first.
Bill, a list of the sub -committees is attached for your review.
Please call on any of the staff if we can be of assistance as you
progress forward on this project. Thank you for your assistance.
