Greetings from Your Mayor
Dear Citizens,
With so many activi-
ties going on in our city,
we can enjoy the sum-
mer days and nights
with little or no costs.
Our parks are well main-
tained, the pools clean and
cool, ball games at every
park and there is always the cool
library for your enjoyment.
Our summer musical, "The Sound of Music,"
includes a great cast of children, youth and adults. It
is a great way to spend a summer evening in our
amphitheater.
Arbor Daze 1998 was a success as I'm sure most
of you read the great accolades in the newspapers.
We broke attendance records even though the
weather forced us to cancel the Sunday night con-
cert. We thank our wonderful sponsors, volunteers
and all the citizens who helped support the Best
Arbor Daze Celebration in the Nation!
If you haven't seen the restored Fuller House in
Ruth Millican Park, you are in for a real treat. The
Historical Preservation Committee has restored the
house with lots of love, time and talent.
In 1993, our citizens passed the half -cent sales
tax, which has allowed the city to enhance the liv-
ing standards for citizens. We want you to see
everything we have accomplished with the sales tax
fund and also what we have planned for the future.
In order for everyone to actually see these accom-
plishments, we are planning an Open House for the
city on Saturday, September 12. We will have all
the facilities open from the police station to the ser-
vice center to the library. We are planning for an
extraordinary time and we encourage everyone to
participate in this unique event. Details about the
Open House are in this newsletter and also will be
enclosed in your August water bills.
If you drive on Westpark Way or Hwy. 157,
you may have noticed the construction and road
closures. We know it's an inconvenience, but fortu-
nately it is only temporary and we know you will
be pleased when they're completed.
We recognize that there are other vital road-
ways that need attention but contrary to Westpark
Way and Hwy. 157, we will not receive additional
funding from the Texas Department of Transporta-
tion. The Council and staff are currently reviewing
the feasibility of revitalizing three major roadways:
Main Street, Harwood Road and West Pipeline. We
have tentatively scheduled a bond election for
October 10. An article outlining the proposals city
staff is reviewing is included in this newsletter.
National Night Out will be held on August 4, and
I hope your neighborhood is planning to be outside
that evening. Euless had one of the largest number
of neighbors participating last year in North Texas.
We encourage all neighborhoods to get out togeth-
er, get to know one another and celebrate a night
out from crime. If you need help in organizing an
event or would like your neighborhood police offi-
cer to visit your area, please call Sgt. Mike Brown
at 685-1563.
As you read through the newsletter and enjoy the
photos, we hope you are proud of our city and the
good things that make Euless a great place to live.
Together we are Building A Better Tomorrow.

As DFW Airport held
its groundbreaking of one
of the most comprehensive
rental car facilities in the
nation, Euless was proud to provide the
foundation on which this multi-million
dollar facility will be located. The new
Consolidated Rent A Car Facility has been a
long-standing objective by DFW Airport
to bring a joint car rental facility to accom-
include a two-story, 129,500 square foot
customer service building and a two-story,
1.3 million square foot parking structure
with capacity for 4,300 cars. The 2,000

rental car facility in Euless, it will provide
several financial opportunities for the city,
especially through House Bill 92 which
allows a 5% rental tax on all rentals. Upon
completion of the facility, the city could
realize revenue of approximately two to
three million dollars annually.
Groundbreaking for the Consolidated

1998, and the facility is projected to be
completed and open in March 2000. DFW

located outside the limits of the Airport's

Statistics show in the State of Texas that
children setting or playing with fire
started 3,172 reportable fires. Additionally,
fourteen persons lost their lives, 148
civilians and 31 firefighters were injured.
Ages of the children are usually 3 to �^
13 years.
Fires are most often started with matches.
Education is the key.
Take advantage of Euless' free safety
classes.
Youth caused fires result in over 9 million
dollars of property damage in Texas
each year.
FACTS:
✓ When a child is caught playing with
fire, it is most likely not their first
time and not their last, if some type
of intervention is not established.
✓ Most often, the person injured or
killed by the child set fire is the child
setting the fire.
The Euless Fire Department established
a Juvenile Fire Setter Program in 1983 to
intervene in the pattern of children
playing with fire. The program known as
"We Care" establishes the causes of the fire
play during an intake interview with the
child and parent. If it is found the child
plays with fire out of curiosity, a 5 -week
age appropriate program is designed for
the child and parent (one day weekly for
an hour). There is no cost for "We Care"
classes.

Amphitheater . 0
tarlight Theater presents "The
Sound of Music" for this year's
annual musical production,
which will be held on August 7
& 8, 14 & 15. For the past six years, the
city has produced musicals such as

tions before the curtain call in August.
"The Sound of Music" has become one
of the world's favorite musicals and the
motion picture version remains the most
popular movie musical of all time. The
story is set during a turbulent time before
World War II. A postulant proves too
high-spirited for the religious life so she is
dispatched to serve as governess for the
seven children of a widowed naval cap-
tain. Her growing rapport with the
youngsters, coupled with her generosity
of spirit, gradually
captures the heart of
the stern captain, and
they marry. Upon
returning from their
honeymoon they dis-
cover that Austria
has been invaded
by the Nazis, who Am
presented in the theatre.
"We are excited to bring this long-time
favorite musical to Euless," said Anicia
Brown, Director of "The Sound of
Music." "The cast is looking forward to
performing this classic tale."

the Euless Parks and Leisure Services
Department. Over 60 cast and crew
members have volunteered to be a part
of this year's production.
"The Sound of Music" will be held at
the Amphitheater at the Villages of Bear
Creek Park, 1951 Bear Creek Parkway.
Performances will begin at 8:15 p.m. on

Western Pills
Inn Becomes
Jail House
Rock
Rumors still abound
about the days when
Western Hills Inn was
the place to be,
especially when Elvis Presle
guest. According to residents
Euless when Western Hills Inn was a thriv-
ing hotel, it was considered one of the most
beautiful and prime locations in town. But
when the hotel first burned in 1988, it
was never reconstructed and was left as
damaged property.
A burned piece of property with high
weeds and a chain link
fence surrounding the
exterior is how many
present-day residents
view Western Hills Inn.
But residents will be
pleased to know that due
to innovative decision
making by the Council
and staff, Western Hills
Inn property is the new
site for a police and
courts facility.
The present police
facility was built in
1978, when the police department
consisted of fifty employees, both officers
and civilians. As the city has grown to
approximately 43,000 people, the police
department has also grown by hiring
additional officers and civilians. The pre-
sent facility can not properly house the
110+ employees and equipment so this
new facility will be a welcome site that
will allow them growth opportunities for
many years to come. The facility will also
house the jail and municipal court.
"We are able to build this facility with
funds from the Crime District Sales Tax
citizens passed in 1995," said Chief Gary
McKamie. "By building this new facility,
our services can be expanded and our staff
will have updated equip-
ment and technology to
better serve citizens."
West Excavation
Contractors will demol-
ish the hotel in late 1998.
This will allow the police
and courts facility to be
built on a solid founda-
tion with optimal use of
all the property.
Phillips, Swager and
Associates (PSA) has
been selected as the
architects of this new
building and are in the process of designing
this state-of-the-art facility. PSA also
designed the Euless Public Library, which
was recognized in Texas Architect
magazine.
Although the building will be "all shook
up" as demolition begins, we'll almost begin
to hear Elvis Presley's famous tune "Jail
House Rock" when construction on the
new police and courts facility begins in the
first quarter of 1999.

By providing this open house for Euless
residents, City Officials are hoping residents will
take advantage of this opportunity to see how
rapidly Euless is growing
(Euless is the 5th fastest
growing city in North-
east Tarrant County) and
how City Officials are
responding to this growth
by expanding city services. The half -cent sales
tax residents passed in 1993 helped fund the
building of the Parks at Texas Star, Conference
Center at Texas Star and the
E
currently seeking to obtain
grant funding to expand the
Parks at Texas Star, which
will eventually become one
of the largest athletic complexes

in the state of Texas.
As City Officials have improved city
services and built new facilities
over the past few years, they
felt it was important to share
with residents the significance
of these improvements. Several
facilities residents will want to visit will be the
new Fire Station 2, the 40,000 square foot
Library, the recently renovated Midway
Recreation Center and the Fleet and Facility
Service Center. Another area of interest will be

Museum Opens in Euless
As the Historical Preservation Commit-
tee continues to collect historical memora-
bilia for Euless' first brick house, the Fuller
House, individuals from afar will
now be able to appreciate the
history of Euless.
The Fuller House was
the first brick house in
Euless built by Homer
and Edith Taylor Fuller,
and has been preserved by
the Historical Preservation
Committee and the City of
Euless. Built in 1932 at a cost of
$4,000, the Fuller House was the home of
one of Euless' earliest mayors, Homer
Fuller. The house was scheduled to be
demolished in 1993, but was donated to
the city by its previous owners. Through
negotiations and fundraising between the
Historical Preservation Committee, the
City of Euless and Taco Bell, the house
was saved and relocated to its present
location in Ruth Millican Park.
The interior of the house has been
renovated so that the front two rooms
will be able to host weddings and small
with unique memorabilia that dates Euless
almost 75 years.
"We encourage people to donate any
items that could be displayed that
show Euless' history," said
Troy Fuller, Chairperson of
the Historical Preser-
vation Committee. "My
family donated a player
piano that was in our
family for decades that
provides a nice touch to the
Fuller House."

"We are so proud of what we have been able
to accomplish in the past few years," said Mayor
Mary Lib Saleh. "The citizens have allowed
City Officials to improve city services by
approving the 1/2 cent sales tax and the Crime
District Tax. We just want to show you what you
have allowed us to accomplish!"
City of Euless Open House will be held on
Saturday, September 12, from 9:00 a.m.-
1:00 p.m. It will be a fun Saturday where
residents can not only learn more about their
city facilities, but also win some great prizes their
