Home My WebLink About2015-12 Euless Today1015 * December THE CITY OF THE OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF EL LESS 7 Did you know? Texas Star Golf Course gift cards make a great stocking stuffier. Dear Citizens, In recent months, you may have seen some familiar names pop- ping up around town. In September, the practice facility at the Texas Star Golf Course was named in memory and honor of longtime Council Member and volunteer Glenn Porterfield for his years of service to the city. In October, the southern entrance to the Parks at Texas Star was named to honor Charlie Miller. Mr. Miller served on the Council and various boards and was instrumental in the development of the Parks at Texas Star. In March, the city will honor former Council Member Glenn Walker with the naming of the 18th bridge at the Texas Star Golf Course. Mr. Walker served on the City Council for 21 years and has dedicated countless hours in service for the City of Euless. Euless has such an incredible community of volunteers and we are happy to recognize these wonderful individuals and express our gratitude to those that do so much for our city. I encourage all of you to look for opportunities that will pique your interest while providing a fun way to meet your neighbors. ic•-e--(4/Cetetede- The Euless City Council Linda Martin Mayor Tim Stinneford Mayor Pro Tem Place 1 Jeremy Tompkins Place 2 Eddie Price Place 3 Linda Eilenfeldt Place 4 Harry Zimmer Place 5 Perry Bynum Place 6 COMMUNITY N Birie 817-685-1400 www.eulessix.gov Holiday Solid Waste Schedule During both the Christmas and New Year holidays, normal Friday trash and recycling collection will shift to Saturday.

Residents may dispose of LIVE Christmas trees only (with no ornaments or lights) at the designated area of Midway Park from December 26 - January 2.

Updated Rabies Vaccination Regulations A recent change in our city animal ordinance will have an effect on owners of dogs and cats. The City now allows pet owners to opt for a three year rabies vaccination rather than an annual vaccination. Even with this change, every person owning or keeping any dog, cat or ferret must be immunized against rabies, and must have a rabies tag on your pet. Scoop the Poop Animal owners are responsible for the removal of all pet waste deposited by his/her animal on public walks, recreation areas, or private property. This applies to the owner's property in terms of not allowing unsanitary conditions, such as creating an odor nuisance. Noise Ordinance Some people might say a dog's bark is worse than his bite. If you live next door to a barking dog, you know that to be true. The City of Euless has a noise ordinance, which states an animal that "barks, whines, howls, crows, cackles or makes any noise excessively and continuously" that disturbs any person in the immediate vicinity is prohibited. Animal Registration The City of Euless now requests owners to register their dogs and cats residing within the City of Euless. Registering your pet allows Euless Animal Services to quickly locate you and ensure your pet is safely returned home. You will receive an ID tag in the mail for your pet with their personal identification number. Voluntary participation is free. If an unregistered dog or cat is picked up by Animal Services, a registration fee will be assessed before the dog or cat is released from the Animal Shelter. For more information about registration, please call the Euless Animal Shelter at 817-685-1594 or visit www.eulesstx.gov/animal. Trinity GAP Club Needs Foster Homes For several years the Trinity High School GAP Club in partnership with Trinity GAP Rescue, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, has helped the Euless Animal Shelter avoid euthanizing any adoptable pets. Animal intake is on-going and never ending. In order to keep saving all these pets, GAP desperately needs fosters for dogs, cats, puppies and kittens. Browse thru the GAP website, http://trinitygaprescue.org/ to see pets in need of homes or foster homes or for a foster application. Vet care is provided for foster animals and help is available to you with any needs. GAP volunteers are at the Euless Shelter every Saturday from 10 a.m.- 2 p.m. to answer questions, meet potential adopters/fosters, and train and socialize shelter pets. If you're thinking about fostering, stop by and talk to a GAP volunteer. Contact GAP Sponsor Steffenie at steffeniegaprescue@gmail.com for more information. * COMMUNIT'( NEWS 817-685-1400 www.eulesstx.gov December Aquatics Euless Family Life Center Natatorium 300 W Midway Dr. WATER AEROBICS CLASS# LOC DAY TIME Arthritic Aerobics 320700-02 NAT M/W/F 8:00-8:45am Water Conditioning 320703-02 NAT M/W/F 8:50-9:35am Water Toning 320701-02 NAT T/Th 8:00-8:45am Cardio by Aqua 320702-02 NAT T/Th 8:50-9:35am Hydro -Resistance 320703-02 NAT T/Th 8:50-9:20am Aqua Agility 320704-02 NAT M/W/F 9:35-10:25am Aqua Fitness 320706-02 NAT T/Th 5:00-6:OOpm Splash Zumba 320705-02 NAT T 6:00-7:OOpm Aqua Cross training 320707-02 NAT Th 6:00-7:OOpm Tabata 101 320706-02 NAT Sa 9:00-9:45am Power Tabata 320809-02 NAT Sa 9:50-10:20am 817-685-1666 - Seniors: $30 / month unlimited classes (must be an Aquatic Member) - Under 60: $45 / month unlimited classes (must be an Aquatic Member) - Sign up for individual class for the whole month: $5.00 per class (must pay for all classes in the month for this pricing) -Punch Pass and drop in classes also available.
