Home My WebLink AboutEuless Today 06/20142014 June Dear Citizens, From a small com- munity located in the heart of the Metroplex with few attractions to a Shining Star filled with amenities for our citizens, our city has truly become FABEULESS! ! ! My twenty five years of service on the city council has seen many changes with the new library, city hall renovation, Euless Family Life Center, so many wonderful parks, an outstanding Texas Star Golf Course and conference center, new fire station and fire engines, police and courts facility, water tank, infrastructure, public works facility and most all other building renovations. Our major thorough -fares are enhanced with seasonal plantings and our recreational activities fill our calendars. We have also enhanced the beauty of our city with many art works on the city campuses. Along with the many changes we have also preserved our history with Heritage Park filled with the first Log Cabin, the Fuller home, hundred year old barn and the magnificent Heritage Museum. None of this could have happened without our caring citizens, active volunteers, super staff members and the most dedicated city council members all working together to become FABEULESS. I thank you for letting me be a part of this Shining Star for all these years and bid you continue to Build a Better Tomorrow for our future citizens. v" la OFFIoNoF EULESS Texas Star to Resurface Golf Greens This Summer S This summer, Texas Star Golf Course will be resurfacing all 18 golf greens with MiniVerde' as well as, renovating our fifty sand bunkers, with new bunker lining and crushed quartz bunker sand. Other projects during this time will include leveling and expanding many tee boxes and renovate the existing pond on hole #16. The sheer size and scope of this enhancement project will necessitate closure of the course, however, the practice area and driving range will remain open all summer for you to practice. We will be closing on June 16th, following Fathers Day, and are scheduled to be open again for play in early October. Our existing bent grass greens will be replaced with MiniVerde'. an ultra - dwarf Bermuda grass. Bent grass is a cold -weather grass that needs to be kept cool in the summer months. It requires more maintenance in hot climates such as ours and even though we have had great success keeping it healthy during this time, it still suffers during the summer month's extreme heat. MiniVerde' is a much more hardy grass and holds up well under the summer heat. With the improvements in Bermuda turf varieties and advancements in maintenance techniques, ultra -dwarf Bermuda greens have now become the preferred choice for putting surfaces in southern climates. The putting green was replaced with the ultra -dwarf Bermuda this past summer and has had rave reviews. Euless Today is published by the City of Euless. 201 N.
