HomeMy WebLinkAboutMayor's Newsletter 01/99MAYOR'S O F E U L E S S Greetings from Your Mayor Dear Citizens: Welcome to the last year of this millennium! It has been a truly good year for the City of Euless. We have a bal- anced budget with no tax increase, new city 14W facilities, new businesses, improved infrastructure, special volunteers, exceptional staff, innovative Council Members and the best new public golf course in Texas! We have listed our 1998 Employees of the Month and Employee of the Year. Boards and Commission members for 1999 are also listed and continue to do an outstanding job of serving the city. Additionally, we have listed the city's accom- plishments for 1998, along with photographs highlighting the past year. The Library Foundation will be dedicating another bronze statue in front of our library on Sunday, January 24, 1999. The Foundation con- sists of citizens interested in providing arts and education for our community. The Police Department graduated the eighth Citizen's Police Academy class and also graduated the first Youth Citizen's Police Academy class in November. The Youth Academy is made up of Trinity High School junior and senior students. It has taken several years but we have finally done it! Western Hills Inn was demolished and plans are designed for the new police and courts facility that will be located on that site. The Restoration Church has purchased the Wilshire shopping complex and will revitalize the area with their church facilities. Also, the old K -Mart building has been sold and will be renovated. With these three large facilities receiving a face-lift on Highway 10, we hope that will encourage other older businesses to revitalize their facilities as well. Our citizens approved bonds for street repair in October of this past year. The city will begin reconstruction of Harwood Road first, then Main Street and lastly, Pipeline Road. The Council did not want to have Main Street and Hwy 157 under construction simultaneously. We expect Hwy 157 to be completed in the winter of 1999 and con- struction of Main Street will begin promptly thereafter. Westpark Way is almost completed and landscaping and lighting will begin this month. Mid -Cities Boulevard is a joint project between the City and the Texas Department of Transportation and should begin construction in 1999. The facade on Highway 183 is improving with the addition of the new Patel office building, Grubbs Infiniti and the new Whataburger. Good things are happening in Euless and there's more to come in `99 Arbor Daze this year will be on a new site with three times as much space plus a terrific line-up of musical performances. My wish for Euless citizens this year is that each and every one of you will have a successful and very special last year of the nineteen hundreds. Working together, we can Build a Better Tomorrow c-A� t _ Mary Lib Saleh Mayor W 0 L Youth Citizen's Police Academy P. 2 Public Safety P. 3 Dixie Pre -Major World Series P. 5 City Accomplishments P. 6-7 Boards & commissions P. 3-9 e Vouch Citizen's Police Academy In an effort to continue expanding the relationships between police officers and youth in the community, Euless Police Department has conducted and graduated its first Youth Citizen's Police Academy. This youth academy is similar to the Citizen's Police Academy (CPA) that is offered to Euless residents in an effort to familiarize them with the daily operations of the police department. The goal of the Youth CPA is to build a better understanding and relationship between these high school students and the police department. "It is our hope that these students can take this knowledge with them and can use it to educate their friends and peers about any misconceptions they may have con- cerning the police department," said Sgt. Mike Brown. The first Youth Citizen's Police Academy graduated seven high school students who were recruited from the Law Enforcement class at Trinity High School. These students met once a week, for eleven weeks, and were introduced to the law enforcement profession 1 members of the Eule Police Department. A seri U classroom lectures ai— hands-on training exercises provided students with an inside view of the operations of the police department. The class graduated on November 11, during a ceremony conduct- ed by the police department. The Euless Police Department would like to host another Youth Citizen's Police Academy in the spring. The Academy is open to any junior or senior high school The goal of the Youth CPA is to build a better understanding and relationship between these high school students and the police department. Northeast dire Agencies Combined Testing ire Departments in Northeast Tarrant County have long sought a way of maximizing the pool of fire fighter applicants and minimizing the testing times per year. Euless Assistant Chief Don Wilson and several other Northeast Fire Representatives have finally devised a plan that appears to accomplish all their combined goals through the Northeast Fre Agencies Combined Testing (NFACT). This testing group is a combined effort of the cities of Bedford, Colleyville, Euless, Grapevine, Haltom City, Keller, North Richland Hills, Richland Hills and Trophy Club. Under a cooperative agreement, each of the respective cities' fire depart- ments share in the recruitment effort of fire fighter/rescue specialists and have jointly developed a standard criteria. City Officials hope through this agreement to alleviate some of the costs for advertising and testing. Initially, cities are hoping to save at least $3,000. "This agreement was the perfect solu- tion to decrease the cost to cities, increase the number of applicants, and decrease the amount of testing time for each depart- ment," said Euless' Assistant Chief Don Wilson. "After completing the first round of testing as a group last June, we can already see significant benefits for our combined efforts." Northeast Tarrant County Police Departments have been combining their efforts for years and have significantly decreased their testing costs. Similar to the police departments, each fire depart- ment was having to pay for each testing and pay their fire fighters overtime to administer the physical and written exams. Through NFACT, there are only page 2 student who is enrolled in school, main- tains good attendance and has a grade point average of 70 or higher. The class size is limited to twelve and is held on Wednesday nights from 7:00 — 9:00 p.m. Upon graduation, students have the oppor- tunity to join the Citizen's Police Academy Alumni Association. For more information, call Sgt. Mike Brown at 685-1563. 0 tim des ing so applicants are assured of not missing a testing cycle for any of the participating cities. As an applicant fills out the Job Interest Form, they are given a brochure outlining the minimum requirements for applica- tion and notice that they must complete the written exam and physical agility test. The information also describes each participating city, their qualifications and salary ranges, which provides the appli- cant with pertinent information when selecting their city of preference. For additional information about NFACT, please call Don Wilson at the Euless Fire Department at (817) 685- 1600. Public Way ity Council has continued to keep public safety at the forefront of their agenda in an effort to provide an exceptional level of public safe- ty service to Euless residents and business- es. When analyzing the future of Euless' public safety departments, Council Members take into consideration the rapid increase and influx of individuals choosing to live and work in Euless, especially after the last estimation that Euless is the fifth fastest growing city in Northeast Tarrant County. "We are very excited that Euless is where people are choosing to live and work, yet we always have to be proactive in our - efforts to keep Euless a safe place to live," said Mayor Mary Lib Saleh. "This is one reason why we have increased the employees and resources for our police and fire departments and will continue to seek new resources for these vital depart- ments." In recent years, the police department has initially funded several police officers through grant programs, which then became the responsibility of the city to con- tinue funding their salary. Additionally, the police department has been able to fund several new projects through the Crime Tax such as the building of a new police facility, expanding their offices to the Euless Police Storefront on Highway 10 and purchasing a mobile storefront that is utilized at schools and in neighborhoods to teach children safety tips and build positive relationships with police officers. A K-9 unit and the expansion of their community programs (Citizen's Police Academy, Youth Citizen's Police Academy, Youth Summer Camp, etc.) have also been welcomed additions by community members. The fire department has also been able to increase their operations personnel and purchase new equipment. This past year, the fire department was able to add six fire- fighter/paramedics to staff an additional Mobile Intensive Care Unit. The additional ambulance (MICU) provides Euless with two units, allowing for more flexibility when simultaneous emergencies are on opposite sides of town. In addition to the ambu- lance, a new fire truck was recently purchased and placed into service. Fire Station #2 was relocated to its new facility on Westpark Way, providing firefight- ers with a larger and more updated facility (the building was previ- ously the location of the Fleet Services and Facility Maintenance department). The fire department was recognized with an ISO rating of a three, which is an exem- plary insurance rating given to those cities who are tested in various areas. City Council has pledged to continue expanding Euless' public safety program as the city continues to grow in both residen- tial and commercial developments. The Police and Fire Chiefs are constantly seek- ing and presenting proactive opportunities to Council to keep Euless the safe city its reputation is built upon. And with the Police Department (receiving national recognition for its community education programs such as National Night Out) and the Fire Department (selected as only one of nine cities in Texas to receive the Life Safety Achievement Award) being recog- nized on the national level for their great safety efforts, it appears that these depart- ments are definitely on the "safe track" to providing the best public safety in Euless. Citg Council has pledged to continue expanding Euless' public safetg program as the cite continues to grout in both residential and commercial developments. page 3 Njou Specidltu "Java" at the Euless Public Library Vhen you come to the Euless Public Library, you will now be able to drink a piping of cup of coffee tea while you peruse the periodicals. In an effort to seek more ways to create "Raving Fans" of residents, the library staff took the initiative to provide a soothing and welcoming environment by serving specialty coffees and teas. "We have implemented a Raving Fans customer service program that allows our employees to initiate creative services that will benefit our customers, the resi- dents," said City Manager Tom Hart. "Serving specialty coffees and playing soothing music was suggested by our library staff to invite individuals to use this great facility. I think a person's time spent at the library will be enhanced because of this inviting new ser- vice being offered." Euless Public Library has built a special coffee bar that provides all the ingredients for an enjoyable cup of the cus- tomer's pleasure: French Vanilla, Snickernut, Hazelnut Supreme, Kahlua and Vanilla Creme. If tea is more your cup, then specialty teas are avail- able with hot water.

Euless' first crick House Opens as Museum he Historical Preservation Committee and the City of Euless have opened the Fuller House, the first brick house in Euless, as a museum high- lighting Euless' past. TheI house was renovated and opened this past summer as a Y museum and rental facility for small receptions or parties. The Fuller House is open the second Saturday of each month, from 1-4 p.m. 2nd Saturday of the month pm - 4pm "The Fuller House is such a special, historic site for Euless and I am delighted that the Historical Preservation Com- mittee has opened the house to individuals wanting to appreciate the history of Euless," said Mayor Mary Lib Saleh. 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 sched- page 4 uled to be demolished in 1993, but was donated to the city by its previous owners. Through negotiations and fundraising among 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 can host weddings and small parties, while the back two rooms serve as a museum. The museum continues to grow with unique items that date Euless back almost 75 years. The Fuller House is now open the sec- ond Saturday of each month from 1-4 p.m. The house is located at 201 N. Cullum. For information about renting the facility or touring the museum, call 6854649.
