Greetings from Your Mayor
Dear Citizens,
It's April and Arbor Daze is just around
the corner. Are you ready to enjoy our
millennium event? The Council and staff
have been diligently working to bring
extra goodies to our community for the
best Arbor Daze festival ever! Mr. Robert
Stanton, Director of the National Park
Service, and Jim Hull, of the Texas Forest
Service, will be our very special guests for
the opening ceremonies on April 28, 2000.
The City of Euless has been designated the Official State of Texas
Arbor Day celebration for 2000. What an honor!
Our new police chief, Leonard Carmack, came on board in
January as did our new city judge, Lacy Britten. They are both a
great addition to our staff and we have included articles about
each of them in this publication. We thank Judge George Boring
for serving us for twenty-five years and our police chief Gary
McKamie for his twenty-five years in the police department (Gary
has been promoted to Deputy City Manager). And our longest
tenured employee at the City of Euless, Julia Wakeley, retired in
March after thirty-five years of serving in the Leisure Services
department. We wish her happy days in retirement.
We have completed our seventh year of Town Hall meetings
at schools in each area of our city. We appreciate those citizens
who attended and provided input at these meetings. We also
appreciate all the time and talent of our Council and staff who
participated in the meetings.
Over 200 citizens attended the MasterWorks Music Series
event in the Euless Public Library, "The Magic Flute." Excitement
abounded and what a thrill to see our young people enjoy the art
of music. The next MasterWorks Music Series event will be listed
in The Library Times, a newsletter located in the library.
Did you read about the latest award regarding our Texas
Star Golf Course? Golf veek magazine rated thirty municipal golf
courses in the United States and Texas Star was selected as number
fourteen. Only one other Texas golf course was selected in the Top
30 Municipal Golf Courses. Kudos to our entire golf staff.
Have you driven by the Parks at Texas Star lately? The newest
addition is the Dr Pepper StarCenter ice facility. The building
encompasses two full size hockey rinks, stadium seating, a pro
shop and many other amenities. We anticipate the facility
opening April 27, 2000.
Since Euless residents passed the Motor Vehicle Rental Tax
last November, we will begin collecting sales tax on the giant car
rental facility at Dallas/FortWorth Airport that opened in March.
It is a beautiful building located in the Euless city limits of the
airport. We will reap many benefits from this new Rental Car
Facility.
The City Council has called for a joint election with the school
district for May 6. We encourage you to exercise your right to vote
because it truly does make a difference. We have a great city and
it is because you take the time to express your opinion through
your vote. Together we can Build a Better Tomorrow when we
become involved with our city.

Micro Sirens
Weather conditions rapidly change in North
Texas, which keep most local natives actively
watching for notifications or other indications of
inclement weather. The City of Euless wants to
provide the best notification system possible to local
residents and businesses to insure their safety during
dangerous situations. The Office of Emergency
Management believes that micro sirens in resident's
homes and businesses provide one of the best
notification systems in the city.
Micro sirens are an emergency notification device
that alerts local residents of severe weather or other
man made disasters, such as hazardous material
related incidents. It is an electronically operated
alarm with a battery back up (8-12 hours) in the
event of a power outage.
"Micro sirens expand our ability to reach our
residents quickly in the unfortunate event of an
emergency," said Joe Hennig, City Manager. "We are
able to provide residents with specific information
pertinent to our city. We can also provide directions
if residents need to take cover or remain in their
house until the emergency is over."
The micro sirens alert residents on three different
levels of activation: condition green, yellow and red.
"Micro sirens
Condition green is a monthly test expand our

the system is working properly. residents quickly
Condition yellow alerts residents to the in the unfortunate
possibility of hazardous conditions or event of an
weather. Condition red indicates to emergency," said
Euless residents that there is imminent Joe Hennig, City
danger in the area. The current system Manager.
for emergency management notification
includes the outdoor warning sirens, the cable
override system, and door-to-door notification by
the city's public safety units.
The micro sirens are available to every Euless
resident and business and can be purchased for
$130 dollars (this is the cost value—there is no profit
to the city). The Euless Fire Department will bring
the micro siren to any resident's home or business
in Euless and can identify good shelter areas and
any potential fire hazards.
If you would like to purchase a micro siren or
schedule a demonstration, call the Euless Fire
Department at 685-1600.
New Judge Presiding in Euless
City Officials have selected a new judge to preside
over the Municipal Court in Euless. Lacy D. Britten will
be judging municipal cases in the Euless courtroom

defense (adult and juvenile), education/ school law,
wills and trusts, and general business law.
"I am very honored and pleased to have the
opportunity to serve the City of Euless as Municipal
Judge," said Britten. "I have enjoyed getting to know
the employees and wonderful people in the city."

Sales Representative for the West Group and was the
First Assistant/Chief Felony Prosecutor for Ellis
County and the District Attorney's Office. She

Census
The City of Euless is
encouraging citizens to
complete the census
form they receive in the
mail and return it to
the Census Bureau. It
significantly impacts the federal funds delegated
to our community, which in turn significantly
impacts Euless residents. Please read the following
and if you have any questions, call the HEB Economic
Development Foundation at 540-1053.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a census?
The accounting of something or somebody. In this
case, it is the accounting of the population of the
United States.
How is the count taken?
In the United States, the majority of households
will be mailed a short questionnaire, which will take
about ten minutes to complete.
Who is counted?
Everyone is counted! Your residence status does
not matter.
Is the information obtained for the census
confidential?
ABSOLUTELY! The LAW protects your answers.
By LAW, the Census Bureau cannot share your
answers with the IRS, WELFARE, FBI, IMMIGRATION,
or any other government agency.
Why does the Census take a count?
The information gathered through the Census
2000 will help the decision -makers understand and
access the needs of our community. Each year
more than $100 billion dollars of federal funds are
distributed to localities based on census figures.
Dollars are distributed for constructing schools,
employment services, programs for living quarters,
construction of highways, health services, programs
for the elderly, and much more.
Five Reasons Why You Should
Fill Out Your Census Form
1. Help Your Community Thrive.
Census numbers can help your community
work out public improvement strategies, such as
traffic congestion, crowded schools, and elderly
assistance.
2. Receive Help in Times of Need.
Many 911 emergency systems are based
on maps developed from the last census. Census
information helps health providers predict the
spread of disease through communities with
children or elderly people. When floods,
tornadoes, or earthquakes hit, the census tells
rescuers how many people will need their help.
3. Make Government Work for You.
It's a good way to tell our leaders who we are
and what we need. The numbers are used to
determine the distribution of over $100 billion
in federal funds and even more in state funds.
This includes funding for hospitals, highways,
stadiums, and school lunch programs.
4. Reduce Risk for American Business.
Census numbers help industry reduce
financial risk and locate potential markets so
businesses are able to produce the products
you want.
S. Help Yourself and Your Family.
Individual records are held confidential for 72
years, but you can request a certificate from past
censuses that can be used as proof to establish
your age, residence or relationship information
that could help you qualify for a pension,
establish citizenship, or obtain an inheritance. In
2072, your great-grandchildren may want to use
census information to research family history.

SPRING REVIEW - Home Fire Safety
Check
By Michael Logan, Fire Marshal
pring is the season that many choose to do their
major house and attic cleaning. It is also a good
time of the year to assess your home fire
prevention practices. The following are a few basic
tips for you to follow to help insure a fire safe
environment in your home.
Smoke Detector Check: It's a proven fact that
working smoke detectors save lives. There are many
Euless citizens that can testify to this fact. If you do
not have a smoke detector in your home, you may call
the Euless Fire Department to obtain a free smoke
detector. If you are living in a rental property, State
Law requires that the property owners provide smoke
detectors at the entry of each of the bedrooms. If
smoke detectors have not been provided or the
property owner refuses to comply with your request
to provide them, then you may contact the Fire
Marshal's Office for assistance. If you need any
assistance in regards to the placement of smoke or
heat detection devices, call the Euless Fire
Department at (817) 685-1600. A working smoke
detector is your best chance for survival in a night fire.
Operation E.D.I.T.H. (exit drill in the
home): One of the best ways to insure that you and
your family can survive a home fire is to have an
escape plan and practice it at least twice a year. Each
and every member of the family needs to know what
to do in the event of a fire. First, have a plan of action.
Discuss escape routes with all family members and
how to use them. Second, have a meeting place
outside the home where every member will gather
after the escape. Third, practice your plan. This is
very important, especially for the children in the
household. These procedures are being taught in our
elementary school fire safety education program so
any practice that you do in the home only re -enforces
the survival techniques being taught.
Identify and locate hazards or potential
hazards: We generally feel secure in our homes.
However, when it comes to fire hazards our homes
rank near the top. The storage of flammable or
10
combustible liquids I i FIRE SAFE
is an ever present
danger in our garages, kitchens,
laundry rooms, storage buildings and pool sheds.
The best prevention method is to follow the safety
rules printed on the labels, use common sense in the
use and dispensing of the product, and in the storage
methods. As you go about your spring cleaning, be
sure to properly discard paints, aerosols, thinners,
gasoline, oil or other flammable, combustible or
hazardous type materials. The City of Euless
participates in a drop-off environmental collection
program of household waste. The Environmental
Collection Center (ECC) is located at 6400 Bridge
Street, Fort Worth. The ECC is open on Thursdays,
Fridays and Saturdays and residents must provide
proof of Euless residency.
You must practice Fire Safety to be Fire
Safe: The possible loss of life by fire or a serious fire
injury to you or a family member depends on your
actions or non -actions. We encourage families to get
into "the walk around habit." If you or a family
member is a smoker, make sure that matches or
lighters are kept where children can not reach them.
Do not leave any open flame devices unattended,
such as candles. Never leave cooking materials on
the stovetop or place portable space heaters near
combustible materials or unattended. Fires are
generally caused by human error. By being conscious
of your actions, following sound safety practices, and
knowing what to do in an emergency, you have a
heightened awareness to protect your family and
home from a serious fire event, injury or death. If you
have a question or concern about a product or
procedure, don't hesitate to call us. The Euless Fire
Department is here to serve the citizens of Euless. We
can be reached by calling 685-1600, Monday through
Friday, 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. If you have a fire or
medical emergency, dial 911. If you have a complaint
or need assistance from the Fire Marshal, call (817)
685-1659.
New Police Chief Leads Officers
Since the commencing of the New Year, there has
been a new police chief at the helm of the Euless
Police Department. With over twenty-four years of
law enforcement experience, Leonard Carmack
was selected as Euless' Police Chief because he is a
qualified and committed police officer who has
dedicated his life to law enforcement. He is very
familiar with the City of Euless, as he has served his
entire career in the neighboring city of Irving. He
served as an Assistant Chief of Police in Irving since
1995. His responsibilities included the areas of Field
Operations Bureau, Administrative Bureau and
Investigative Services Bureau.
"The Euless Police Department is recognized as
an exceptionally professional organization," said
Leonard Carmack. "I am honored to have been
selected as a member of their team."
Carmack is a graduate of Abilene Christian
University and also attended the Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI) National
Academy. He received his
Master Peace Officer
Certification in 1995 and is a
member of the International
Association of Chiefs of
Police. He has served in Leonard Carmack
multiple capacities in the
Irving Police Department, which will provide

Personal Flotation Devices
Although personal flotation devices (i.e. water wings, rafts,

and drownings have been attributed to the use of these
devices. Therefore, the City of Euless does not allow the
use of any flotation devices. The only exception to this
policy would be Coast Guard approved flotation devices.
A Word To Our Parents
Our lifeguards are highly trained and skilled. They assist in
making our facilities a safe place to bring the family.
However, they are not babysitters. Parents are expected to
watch their children and to assist in enforcing the policies
for the safety and enjoyment of all patrons.
