Home My WebLink AboutEuless Today Spring/Summer 2009Welcome MOMMMMMMMO Dear Citizens, We are so proud to have Fire Inspector Vernon Gilmore as our Employee of the Year for 2008. Vernon has never met a stranger and is one of those quiet leaders that are respected with all ages. He has had such a varied career and we are so pleased he is with our Euless Fire Department today. Congratulations, Vernon Gilmore! When April comes, you know that Arbor Daze will be celebrated in Euless. Our celebration is always the last weekend in April. We'll cross our fingers for good weather. There will be lots of local talent and good food as well as delightful booths and crafts and many children's activities. Mark the date of April 25 and 26 on your calendar. We are so pleased to recognize the special volunteer selections for 2008. All our volunteers are special and each year a committee selects the Volunteer of the Year, the Business Volunteer of the Year, and the Youth Volunteer of the year and finally the Lifetime Volunteers of the year. All the winners this year have dedicated many, many hours of time and talent to our city. Thank you, thank you each and every one! Our Parks Department has done such a good job of planting flowers and trees throughout the city byways and parks. Heritage Park is so lovely this time of year and many of the plants came from the original site of the Fuller Home that was located on Route 10. The Historical Preservation Committee members have Open House for all the facilities at the Park every second Saturday from one to five in the afternoon. They will also arrange to show the facilities with large groups by reservation. Both the Fuller House and the Log Cabin and Barn are so interesting and the Historical Committee docents share many stories for all to enjoy. The Euless Library Foundation will be hosting the annual spring book sale on April 17, 18 and 19. Friday, April 17 will be open from 3 - 5 p.m. and the cost is $5. Saturday and Sunday events are free and open to the public. There are many goodies to choose from so come early and enjoy. All the funds received go back to the library for special programming. The Library Foundation is still selling tiles for their new History of Euless Art Project. Many have been sold and more than half of the book spines have been sold. They only sell for $25 and a family name is painted on the spine. What a clever gift for a young person. Each May you have the opportunity to elect council members. We have two positions open this year and we urge you to vote in the election on May 10. All election information is listed inside this magazine. Please read about all the wonderful activities for each and every age in our city. From athletics, to walking, to reading, to listening to great entertainment, to walking the dog, to taking senior trips, and even swimming in the warmer weather, there's so much to do and enjoy. I hope you will take advantage of the many opportunities available in the city of Euless. And, thanks to all our volunteers for helping out in all the many special events we host. We could not do all we do without you.

Fire Inspector Vernon Gilmore was the 2008 recipient of this award and exemplifies vision and leadership not only on the job, but outside of work as well. City of Euless employees nominated Vernon for his dedication to public education 24/7. In addition, he coordinates the Citizen Fire Academy, which is a 14 - week evening program. Vernon is also the founder and General of the Fire Department Honor Guard. They have attended various functions, and have been praised for their performance. In addition, he was praised for his positive, "whatever it takes" attitude to promote safety. He takes fire safety very personally and has made it a personal mission to educate as many people as possible. He's highly respected by both employees and Citizen's Fire Academy members and has earned every bit of that respect though his work ethic and enthusiasm. He is highly regarded by his supervisors, coworkers and the citizens he comes in contact with. He has a very positive personal attitude, is very upbeat, helpful and a hard worker. He goes out of his way when dealing with the public to help resolve issues that he may encounter. He strives to leave each contact feeling good about the experience and is an excellent ambassador. He is in a unique position of having to routinely enforce city ordinances that are not always favorably received, but his demeanor is such that people generally walk away feeling good about the experience. Congratulations Vernon on being selected as the 2008 Employee of the Year! 817-685-1400 Euless relies heavily upon the many hours that concerned residents volunteer to help make our programs, special events and facilities great! We are very fortunate to have a dedicated, attentive group of citizens that tirelessly give back to our community. Volunteers assist the City in a variety of ways, often working long hours without pay or recognition for the benefit of Euless. In turn, the City picks one person each year that embodies the very definition of a Volunteer to celebrate the dedication and service of these outstanding people and the difference they have made in the community. Jerrie and Jeff Keller were named F the Volunteers of the Year for 2008 because of their extensive involvement with the City of Euless. Year after year, the husband and wife duo have volunteered for Parks and Community Services special events ranging from the Bicycle Rodeo to Arbor Daze to Heritage Park Christmas. They are also involved in the Euless Citizen's Police Academy and Fire Academy Alumni Associations as well as the Community Emergency Response Team and Citizens on Patrol. The Volunteer Business of the Year was awarded to Euless Chick-Fil-A on Glade Rd. for their continual support of Euless. Owner Ernie Flores was nominated for his willingness to help out in any way, anytime and their continue belief in giving back to the community. In addition to a major presence at many special events, they assist the Police and Fire departments by providing sustenance during major incidents. This is when the public safety employee's time is of the essence. www.euless.org The 2008 Youth of the Year was given to Alnawaz Devani for his varied volunteer activities throughout Euless. This Trinity High School student spends time as co-chair for Monday evening tutoring and serving as a Junior Scoutmaster for Troop 758. He is also involved in community service activities such as Youth Volunteers at the Ismaili Center in Euless and frequently attends City Council and Town Hall meetings. The Lifetime Achievement Award is given to a person or persons in Euless that have given of their time and efforts to the City of Euless throughout their lives. This year, the Lifetime Achievement Award has been presented to Jimmy and Helen Payton. These outstanding representatives of the Euless community were married in 1950. In 1955, Jimmy became Euless' youngest Mayor from at the age of 25. Jimmy served as Euless' municipal judge for eight years as well as on the original City Charter Committee which he chaired in 1990, 1991 and 1995. He recently rotated off as Chairman of the Texas Health Resources Board of Trustees and is the first honorary member of the Harris Methodist Health System Board of Trustees. Helen has served on the Friends of the Library, the Euless Library Foundation and the Euless Historical Preservation Committee. She volunteers as a docent at historic Heritage Park. They have both served when called upon in any capacity for the good of Euless. Our congratulations go out to all of this year's winners. The dedication of a volunteer's time and energy cannot be compared and we appreciate their love and admiration for Euless. Thank you for your time and energy that you spend to help make Euless great! 5 The Euless Police Department hosts two week- long summer camps for children ages 10-12.

The rating was increased from an AA- to an AA. This strong financial endorsement shows the City of Euless credit profile is strong and Euless is financially sound. Euless' convenient access to employment opportunities throughout the region and continuing retail and residential development was recognized by S&P. The fiscal 2009 budget is balanced and at this time Euless does not plan to issue additional debt. Emphasis has been placed on delivering a balanced budget and using cash for one time projects rather than borrowing money. Euless Congratulates New Retirees Kaye Anderson Randy Burns Johnnie Green, Jr. S&P explained that Euless is one of several North Texas cities who upon further review is worthy of an upgraded rating due to its financial policy enhancements and its healthy fund balances. A full report on the City's financial stability published by S&P will be available in the coming months.

During actual disasters it was discovered that text messages will still transmit when voice messages would not. This became a valuable communication tool. In the event of an emergency, a text message will be sent to the mobile number and/or email outlining the nature of the emergency. The system will be used for all hazards such as weather, chemical spills or lost children. In addition, subscribers will also receive automatic advisories and watches from the National Weather Service. Weather notifications of a more imminent, threatening or specific situation will be generated by the City. This technology allows up to 25,000 messages per minute to be sent. There is no cost to the subscriber other than fees that cell phone providers may charge to receive text messages. To sign up, please visit www.euless.org/wens. First, you should know the meanings of the terms that are used during severe weather. A WATCH is issued when weather conditions are favorable for the formation of severe weather. During a watch, keep alert to changing conditions and prepare to take protective actions. A WARNING is issued when severe weather has been reported by spotters or is indicated by radar. During a warning, take protective actions immediately. If a TORNADO WARNING is issued for our area, take shelter in an interior room on the lowest floor of the building you are in. Abandon cars or mobile homes and seek shelter in a strong building or lie flat with your arms over your head in a ditch or low-lying area. Do not use your car to try to outrun a tornado. Since our outdoor warning system is not designed to warn residents who are already indoors, Euless' Emergency Management office recommends that residents purchase a weather radio. These radios are inexpensive, widely available and can be programmed to alert only for severe weather or other emergencies in our area. Construction Updates Street Overlays Public Works crews will be overlaying the following streets this summer. Residents will receive notification approximately two weeks before the actual work will take place. Please contact Public Works with any questions you may have by calling 817-685-1580. Cinnamon - N.

If you would like to receive regular updates about this project, please visit www.euless.org/myeuless and register your email address with the Trinity River Authority - Waterline Project category. Keep an eye on your speedometer. New speed limits have been adopted on two roads and all alleys in Euless. As traffic increases on Euless roadways and speed histories are established, speed studies may be performed to determine if the speed limit should be increased. The speed limit on Harwood Road, east of main to State Highway 360, has increased from 35 mph to 40 mph. Gateway Blvd from Mid -Cities to Glade has increased from 30 mph to 40 mph. A 20 mph speed limit has also been established for all alleys. 8 817-685-1400 Texas Star Youth Clinic The Texas Star staff is ready to help make your junior the next PGA Tour Player!

After the drought of 2006, Euless officials realized that we need to protect this precious resource by enacting measures that make sense for Euless residents. Euless residents now fall under a water conservation ordinance that prohibits watering outdoors from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. all year. The rules will apply to City water customers who use automatic and non -automatic .. t. . irrigation systems and garden hose - attached sprinklers to water their lawns. Watering between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. is an inefficient method of maintaining yards. Water from sprinklers and irrigations systems is lost by evaporation due to heat and wind. In addition, daylight watering, as well as domestic use, places additional demands on the water treatment plant. The ordinance does provide for watering home foundations, lawns and new landscape plantings by handheld hose, drip irrigation or soaker hose. For more information please contact the Public Works department by calling 817-685-1694. Thank you for your help in conserving our most precious resource. FWWater Conservation Forum The City of Euless Public Works Department will be hosting a Water Forum June 25, 2009 at 7 p.m. in the Euless City Council Chambers. Topics will include water conservation, landscaping techniques and storm water reuse. We encourage all citizens, landscapers, apartment managers and business owners to attend this great forum. 9 r. As the weather turns nicer, we naturally begin cleaning out our closets, garages and storage sheds to make way for summer. Please use the following tips to properly dispose of your items. Hazardous Materials If you can't make it to one of the two annual HazMat Collection days, visit the Environmental Collection Center (ECC) in east Fort Worth. All you need is proof of residency. For a complete list of what the Crud Cruiser and the ECC will accept, please visit www.euless.org/hazmat or call 817-685-1410. Recycle/Freecycle One man's trash is another man's treasure. The Freecycle network is an excellent example of that. With a mission to build a worldwide gifting movement that reduces waste, saves precious resources and eases the burden on our landfills, Freecycle is a great alternative to throwing items in the trash. Freecycle allows members to post specific items to give away or specific items they need. Log on and join the HEB Freecycle group. Share your abundance while de -cluttering your home, and also by seeing what free options are out there before you open your wallet and buy more stuff. Brush and Yard Clippings Spring is a great time of year to start a compost bin! When the weather turns warmer, we tend to get out in our yards and "clean-up" from the winter months. Between the mowing, raking and pruning that takes place, you will have more than enough components for a healthy compost pile. A compost bin can be easily made by visiting a (Euless!) home improvement store. You can determine the best bin for you by visiting www.euless.org/composting. Place your compost bin out of direct sunlight if possible. Alternate layers of carbon and nitrogen and moisten as they are added. Mix the layers with a garden fork or a rake and moisten any dry ingredients. After about a week, use a garden fork and stir the ingredients up to aerate the pile. Keep the pile moist, but not soaking wet. Repeat for about four weeks and let the pile cure for two weeks before using. Enjoy! 10 r Beginning April 1, 2009, �j�� 1111111 1111 Euless residents will have free access to the r Arlington Landfill, 800 r Mosier Valley Rd., four times annually. This is a change from the previous Allied Transfer Station on Elliot Reeder Rd. in Fort Worth. Euless residents must provide proof of residency and may dispose up to 10 cubic yards of waste. The Arlington Landfill accepts Euless residents from 7 a.m. - 4 p.m. on Saturdays only. This service does not include the disposal of hazardous waste or non-compactable waste such as dense concrete or rock. r r 1 1 r r F,tos er oo 157 L'al le,S r r 0CI1 CouI3e r r , Trinity Blvd I r r r r Masser WaIIr„y Rd ?dosx=r Vx�lry fid r Solid Waste Rates I I I r, 6 I f I 414 1 r r r 1 1 Solid Waste rates will increase from $6.99 to $7.23 and recycling rates will increase from $0.98 to $1.01 this month.

Customers will see the rate adjustment reflected on the April billing r statements. 817-685-1400 CERT The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) is an initiative of the Police and Fire Departments to ensure that our community is informed and prepared in the instance of a disaster. In 1994 The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) began promoting the CERT concept initially created by the Las Angeles City Fire Department. Since then, hundreds of communities across the nation have begun implementing the use of CERTs. CERT training promotes a partnering effort between emergency services and people that they serve. The goal is for emergency personnel to train members of neighborhoods, community organizations or workplaces in basic response skills. CERT members are then integrated into the emergency response capability for their area. This 20 hour CERT training goes in depth on subjects such as disaster psychology, terrorism, medical operations and fire safety. If a disastrous event overwhelms the city of Euless, the CERT members can assist others by applying the basic response and organizational skills they learned during training. These skills can help save and sustain lives following a disaster until help arrives. CERT teams are invaluable to a community and will improve the City of Euless' community emergency preparedness. The CERT graduation takes place on a Saturday and participants participate in a mock disaster drill. This drill replicates problems that may arise during any type of catastrophe. If you would like to learn more about CERT or would like to take the course, please contact Officer James Gordon at 817-685-1687. www.euless.org Avoid code enforcement violations while complying with health and safety ordinances. Euless residents are required to mow and maintain their property not only from an aesthetic point of view, but also for health and safety reasons. Therefore, Euless enforces a city ordinance that prohibits grass and weeds from exceeding 12 inches in height. If you receive a notice of violation, you have 10 days to resolve the problem. Otherwise, the city will place a lien on your property for the cost of having a contractor mow. Unmaintained lawns and vacant lots attract rodents and mosquitoes. They can also become a fire hazard if the high grass becomes dry. Please contact the Code Enforcement office at 817- 685-1625 if you have any questions or concerns. Neighborhood Watch Groups : We Report Suspicious Activity To The police The Police Department needs your support for Crime Watch groups throughout Euless. We encourage our Citizens to form a Crime Watch Group within their neighborhoods. Crime Watch groups play a very important role in the community. It's not only a great way to get to know your neighbors, but citizens can dramatically reduce crime by being a second set of eyes for the Police. Citizens will better understand the types of crimes that occur in their neighborhoods and learn how to prevent them. If you are interested in starting a Crime Watch group, please call (817) 685-1536. 11 Youth Storytimes for Toddlers 2 - 3 years old Wednesdays 11-11:15 a.m. Storytimes for Preschoolers 4 - 6 years old Wednesdays 11-11:30 a.m. Family Storytime First Monday of the month 6 p.m. (during the school year only, not during June & July) Adult Let's Talk about Books, 1:30 - 3:15 p.m. Join our monthly book discussion group.
