STAFF REPORT— Mr. Strawn advised the foundation work in the museum is a bit more
complicated than anticipated. The City is waiting on a report from Olshan so they can
determine the course of action. The committee will be notified if the museum will need to be
closed in order to work on the building. A request was made to clean the carpet in the Fuller
House due to a recent spill/stain.
COMMITTEE REPORT / INPUT
There was a brief discussion among the group and the Shelton attendees about Mosier Valley.
Since many of the long-time residents have passed or moved away, much of the history is gone.
It was recommended to contact the Tarrant County archives/collections for information they
may have. A recommendation was also made to communicate with an author who is working
on a book about the community. Keith Jernigan offered to meet with the Sheltons regarding the
records at the Calloway Cemetery and Mosier Valley Cemetery.
Ms. Wright advised of the insert found in the Euless utility bills. The recent issue had a list of
important City department contact numbers which is a valuable resource. There was also a
discussion about the 50th anniversary of DFW Airport.
Michelle Burger mentioned she had purchased some items at White Chapel Thrift/Resale Store.
She hopes to bring the items to the next HPC meeting.
ADJOURNMENT
A motion was made by Linda Pool, seconded by Elaine Green to adjourn the meeting. Ms.
Wright declared the meeting adjourned at 10:50am.
Respectfully submitted by:
Anniece McKanna, Committee Secretary
