barn needed trimming. Mr. Fennell indicated the exterminator had come to the Museum
and Fuller House. He also mentioned the staff had done light trimming and work on the
gutters of the Fuller House. He would take care of the issues raised today.
CHAIRMAN'S REPORT— Ms. McCormick stated the upcoming solar eclipse would be taking
place on the same day as our next meeting of April 8. The City is sponsoring an event that day
at the Parks at Texas Star, so she suggested we cancel our April meeting due to the anticipated
crowds. With unanimous approval, the April meeting will be cancelled.
STAFF REPORT— No report. However, Ms. Wright remarked the Fuller House rug was damaged
so badly that Dalworth Carpet Cleaning would not attempt to clean it. Linda Pool is searching
for a replacement within the City of Euless. The City has budgeted approximately $300 toward
the replacement with the Committee picking up any remaining balance.
