Greetings from Your Mayor
Dear Citizens,
As we close the door c
1996, the citizens of Euless
can be proud of the many
accomplishments of your
Council and staff, as well
as the many awards our
city has won. The Council
is proud of our citizens, vol-
unteers, neighborhood asso-
ciations and of course c
schools and dedicated teachers,
who all work together to make our community an excep-
tional place to work, live and play.
It seems everywhere we look in Euless, there is construc-
tion on roadways, facilities, schools and new businesses.
Council Members made infrastructure the number one goal
this year, and we hope you have noticed the work on the
streets, sidewalks, sewers and drainage. We have purchased
a special camera that will allow staff to see in the sanitary
sewer mains to determine what areas need to be replaced.
It is easy to become discouraged when the city designates
street improvements and then it seems years before the pro-
ject actually begins. Funding assistance is often sought for
street improvements from the Texas Department of
Transportation (TXDOT) because they will fund up to 80
percent of certain street projects. The city welcomes that
amount of funding and agrees to wait until that project
becomes a priority for TXDOT. Presently, there are three
major projects waiting for TXDOT to proceed: Westpark
Way, FM 157, and Mid -Cities Blvd. We hope to see progress
on these projects during 1997
Euless has several accomplishments to be proud of such
as the grand opening of the largest library in Northeast
Tarrant County. This lovely facility, along with the modern
conference center, may be utilized by citizens for many
types of meetings and activities. Also, renovations of the
municipal complex are currently underway and we
envision easier access for citizens to city facilities. The
Historical Preservation Committee is planning a dedication
in memory of Elisha Adams Euless, the founder of our
city. There will be a permanent historical marker across
from the library and west of Administration Building A for
U L E S S
citizens to visit and learn of Euless history. The library will
also feature historical exhibits of interest to our residents.
The Library Foundation continues to raise money to
purchase a sculpture for the grounds of the library. The
sculpture, Rapture of the Spiri4 will be an original work of
art created for our library by well-known Texas artist,
Cindy Burleson
Texas Star is truly a golf masterpiece and we expect the
course to present quite a challenge for golfers of all levels.
The course is being constructed with revenue bonds, not
taxes, and we encourage all golfers to be ready to play in
1997 An Executive Center is also being constructed and
will provide needed meeting room and conference facilities
for citizens and businesses throughout the Metroplex.
Our athletic complex is a dream many of you have had
for years. The first phase will be completed in 1997 and each
of you can look forward to enjoying this facility next fall.
We are most grateful for our many volunteers. In a city of
this size (over 40,000), we cannot possibly provide all the
services and activities we do for our citizens without our vol-
unteers. Inside, please note all the volunteers that serve on
our Boards and Commissions for the next year. They give
many hours of time and talent. If you would like to serve on a
board, volunteer for Arbor Daze, or participate in other
activities our city provides, please call the Volunteer
Coordinator at 685-1670. We always need and appreciate
our volunteers.
Euless and our staff have won many awards this past year,
and we hope you will be proud of these accomplishments.
Please read about our Employees of the Month and other
articles concerning city staff. We sincerely hope you benefit
from the items in the newsletter and we welcome any
responses.
We have so many memories from our successful year
of 1996, and we look forward to Building a Better
Tomorrow each day of the coming year. With your help,
we can!

Project Update
TEXAS STAR
As golfers and visitors tour the Texas Star,
staff has repeatedly heard that it is becoming one
of the most beautiful golf courses in North Texas.
All of the grass has been planted, which will
mature over the winter to provide a good root
base before allowing players onto the course. The
Executive Center is being constructed and is
projected to be completed by early next summer.
In addition to the positive progress of the
facility, Texas Star key staff has been hired and
is already planning for the grand opening
next year. Head Golf Professional Duff
Cunningham, who previously worked at
Squaw Valley in Glen Rose, is looking forward
to organizing golf tournaments, teaching
individual and group golf clinics, managing
the pro shop and supervising the operations of
the golf course. Working with Mr. Cunningham
on scheduling tournaments will be
Tedra Cheatham, Sales and Marketing
Coordinator. She will be the contact person for
all events held at the Texas Star including golf
tournaments, wedding receptions, seminars and
other special events. They have been actively
recruiting tournaments and receptions and the
calendar is already filling up for next summer.

Planning and
Department
Development
Being one of the largest operating departments
in Euless, Planning and Development is instru-
mental to the daily operations of the city. Euless'
Planning and Development department has a
variety of functions ranging from issuing
Specific Use Permits to writing code enforcement
violations. Although this department is classified
as one, the duties are so vast they are broken
into two separate divisions.
Planning division oversees the development
of land and businesses that locate in Euless. Site
plans, zoning and plats are reviewed by certified
staff along with other departments to determine
if businesses and new developments are in
compliance with the Euless Code of Ordinances.
The standards for compliance are set by the
City Council, Planning and
Zoning Commission and
Planning and Development
Department.
In order for Euless to
continue growing in the
right direction, the Planning
Manager must review
the Comprehensive Land
Development Plan with
the Director, Planning a
Commission and Council eves
By conducting this review,

Planning Department is always current on the
status of land use in the city and can project if
new designs or plans need to be sketched.
Planning division is extremely important to
Council and staff since they ensure Euless is
properly developed for future generations.
The other division of this department super-
vises the operations of businesses that have
already located in Euless. Development staff
issues building permits, environmental health
permits, code enforcement violations and con-
ducts zoning and code inspections. This area
inspects all restaurants located in Euless to ensure
they abide by the proper health guidelines
(Please see the letter from City Manager Tom
Hart regarding the recent Channel 5 report on
Euless restaurants). They also inspect public
facilities including apartments, churches and gro-
cery stores. Development works very closely
with the managers of local businesses, police
department and fire department to ensure citizens
are abiding by the proper guidelines set by the
Code of Ordinances (i.e. illegal parking, furniture
in yard).
"Our department is very diverse and dynamic
because we perform a vast amount of tasks every
day," said Ogden "Bo" Bass, Planning and
Development Director.
Mr. Bass supervises the overall functions of
the department with two managers overseeing
the daily operations. Anyone with questions
regarding Planning can contact the Planning
Services Manager, Rod Tyler, at 685-1631.
The Development Services Manager, Kevin
Mercer, can be contacted at 685-1637.
Pdp ture of the Poo Spirit Sculpture
Euless Public Library is not only the largest
library in Northeast Tarrant County, but now it
will be home to the beautiful six and half feet tall
sculpture, Rapture of the Human Spirit. The
Euless Library Foundation will donate the sculp-
ture to the city, which will be placed at the front
entrance of the library. The Library Foundation
has been fundraising during the past year so they
could purchase a piece of art to enhance the
grounds of the library and bring a cultural focal
point to the community.
Rapture of the Human Spirit is a bronze sculp-
ture with three children reading books while lay-
ing on a quilt. They each have characteristic
poses for their age, spanning from five to fifteen
years old. The children in the sculpture are one
and half times lifesize, with the base being about
three feet tall. This will allow small children, as
well as adults, enjoy the characters and minute
details depicted in this sculpture.
Cindy and Terry Burleson, of Austin, Texas,
are creating this original sculpture to be exclusive-
ly used for the Euless library. The Burlesons have
constructed the Texas Ranger bronze, which is in
the Texas Capitol, and Cindy Burleson crafted a
bronze piece for the City of Austin commemorat-
ing the 150th anniversary of the city. The
Burlesons have been creating sculptures, paint-
ings and other art pieces for over 22 years.
The Library Foundation reviewed various art
pieces from artists across the country but deter-
mined this sculpture conveys the message of
"reading for enjoy-
ment" to all ages.
As Cindy Burleson

stated, "This sculp-

Trash and Recycling Contracts Revised
uless City Council has revised the
terms of the solid waste and recycling
contracts so residents will receive
additional services
from Euless' service providers.
In addition, Council Members
have brought the two contract
termination dates to expire
simultaneously allowing the city
to bid the contracts together in
February 1998.
The solid waste contract, with
Laidlaw Waste Systems, Inc.,
was revised so citizens would be
able to have most household
items and yard waste conve-
niently picked up curbside. Bulky items such as
couches, washers/dryers, mattresses, etc. can be
placed at the residents curb, on the regular collec-
tion day, and it will be picked up by Laidlaw free of
charge. Loose brush will also be picked up for a
minimal charge of $10 and hauled away, so the
resident does not have to bundle it or take it to
the landfill. Previously, all brush had to be bun-
dled into four foot bundles or Laidlaw would
not pick it up without a charge of $75. If residents
do not want to pay the $10 fee, they will need
to bundle the loose brush or haul it away to
Turkey Creek Landfill.
Laidlaw will continue providing service to
Euless citizens through February
1998. Council awarded Laidlaw a
minimal increase of $0.12, which
brings the total resident solid
waste fee to $6.12. Laidlaw has
not been awarded an increase
since they purchased the contract
from City Garbage in 1993.
Community Waste Disposal
(CWD) has been providing recy-
cling service in Euless since the
inception of Euless' recycling pro -
0
ram in 1993. They have also main-
tained the same residential recycling rate of $1.70
during the last three years and will remain at that
rate until the expiration of their contract in
February 1998. The Council was able to add
phone books to the list of acceptable recyclable
items without an added increase. This will enable
residents to recycle phone books anytime of
year instead of recycling them at Euless' annual
phone book event with Southwestern Bell.
"We worked very hard to keep the cost to
citizens minimal and bring the two contract
Loose crush Accepted
uss, bu Laidlaw
Citizens who begin "spring cleaning" early this year will
be pleased to know that Laidlaw Waste Systems will pick
up loose brush for only $10. Previously, Laidlaw would
only take brush if it was in four foot bundles and weighed
less than 50 pounds. If the brush did not meet these require-
ments, residents were charged $75 per load. This proved to
be inconvenient and ineffective so Council Members, City
staff and Laidlaw staff concluded Euless residents needed a
more efficient method of disposing loose brush.
Euless residents can now trim their trees and shrubbery
without bundling and pay only $10 for Laidlaw to haul
away the debris. Residents can still bind the limbs and not
pay a charge if it is cut into four foot bundles and weighs less
than 50 pounds. Residents requesting this special pick-up
can call the customer service department of Laidlaw at
332-7301, ext.1.
expiration dates together" said Council
Member Charlie Miller. "By consolidating
the contracts, it allows the city to address recy-
cling and waste disposal simultaneously, with
multiple options, and allows competing vendors
to bid on the two contracts"
Both contracts will be bid during 1997 so the
service contractors can purchase new trucks and
begin service on March 1, 1998. A solid waste
and recycling survey will be enclosed in the
January water bill for citizens to voice their opin-
ions regarding these two services. By filling out
this survey, it will assist staff members in formulat-
ing the bids and also to learn areas of concern to
residents. After tabulation, results of the survey
will be published in the Mayor's Newsletter.
For additional information regarding solid
waste or recycling services, call 685-1410.
Phone Books Added to Euless
Recycling Program
The City of Euless has extended the recycling contract with
Community Waste Disposal (CWD) through February 28,1998. CWD
has added phone books to the current list of acceptable items, which can
be placed in the same plastic or paper bag as newspapers and magazines.
The list of recyclable items Euless citizens
can now recycle is as follows:
plastic bottles (numbers 1,2,3,4,5,7)
glass bottles and jars L
ES
S tin food and drink cans fC�
��L ES S
aluminum cans
dry newspapers
�����rbEMrnrEXc����� magazines nrnrExc���s,
phone books
The first four items can be placed in a blue bag which can be pur-
chased at local grocery stores. Dry newspapers, magazines and phone
books can be placed in a grocery sack instead of a blue bag.
If you have questions regarding Euless' recycling program, please call
685-1410.
