The Employee of the Year program began in 1993 by City ofEuless employees. This award is highly revered and is given toan employee by their peers for their vision and leadership. GISManager David Allen is the 2006 recipient of the City of EulessEmployee of the Year award and exemplifies vision andleadership not only on the job, but outside of work as well.

David Allen has worked in the digitalmapping field for 23 years, eighteenof those with the City of Euless. He iswell known in his field not only as amentor and teacher, but also for hismany strides in developinginteresting applications withinmunicipal government. He holds aBachelor’s degree in Architectureand is the Program Coordinator forthe GIS Program at Tarrant County College southeast. He hastaught all levels of GIS since 1999. He also consults withTCC’s Fire Center Training Academy on digital mappingissues.

So what the heck is GIS anyway?Geographic Information Systems is a technological field thatincorporates geographical features with tabular data toassess real-world problems. It was discovered in the 60s withthe discovery that maps could be programmed using simplecode and stored in a computer. From that evolved theconcept of overlaying mapped features for analysis andmodeling. Today, GIS is an effective problem solving tool andoperates on many levels, the most basic of which is mapping.

GIS Emergency ApplicationsDavid was the manager of a project team that recentlyreceived an award for his efforts on a regional emergencyresponse database. This database will allow a shared MobileCommand Center to locate an address, view houses orbuildings from all sides, see hydrant locations and identifystreet names.

Spring is a great time of year to start a compost bin!When the weather turns warmer, we tend to get out inour yards and “clean-up” from the winter months.Between the mowing, raking and pruning that takesplace, that will provide more than enough ingredients fora healthy compost pile. Just add the ingredients, bake andout comes rich, earthy soil for spring flower beds.

Recipe for CompostingIngredients:

CARBON ITEMS

Pruned shrubs, tree limbs, rose branches

Cardboard

Tree leaves

Shredded newspaper

NITROGEN ITEMS

Grass clippings, weeds (w/o seeds)

Cottonseed meal

Uncooked fruit and vegetable scraps

Egg shells, peanut shells

Used coffee grounds, filters, tea bags

Water

Sun

Directions:As you are spring cleaning your yard, place those greatingredients in a compost bin. One can be made byvisiting a home improvement store (in Euless!) andpurchase items. You can determine the best bin for youby visiting www.euless.org/composting.

The first Arbor Day was proclaimed in the State of

Nebraska on April 10, 1872 through the effort of J.

Sterling Morton. It is estimated that one million trees

were planted in Nebraska on that first Arbor Day. Mr.

Morton believed that trees brought value as windbreaks

to prevent soil erosion, shade from the hot sun, and a

renewable source of fuel and building materials. Today,

Arbor Day is celebrated throughout the United States

and in many other countries around the world.

The roots of the City of Euless celebration of Arbor Day

can be traced to a Home and Garden Expo held in 1988

in the old gymnasium of what is now City Hall.

Attended by some 1,500 residents, the event was

declared a success and plans made to hold an annual

event emphasizing trees and beautification. The

following year, the “How to Grow Lawn and Garden

Show” was held at the newly constructed Midway

Recreation Center. The featured entertainment was a

group of local senior citizens known as the Spice of Life

Band. Instruments included spoons and a washboard.

The small festival grew in the ensuing years and in 1992

was moved to the grounds of City Hall with name of

“Leisure Fair presents Arbor Daze of City Hall.” The

festival began to experience exceptional growth as the

attractions increased and big name musical acts were

featured. The Dixie Chicks, Mamas and the Papas,

Chubby Checker, and Little Richard were among the

acts offered for the free concerts of City Hall. By 1998,

Arbor Daze had evolved from a small community event

to a major regional event attracting over 100,000

people. The overwhelming attendance to hear Three

Dog Night, The Four Tops, Martha and the Vandellas

and The Association signaled the end of Arbor Daze at

City Hall.

In 1999, Arbor Daze was moved to a 200-acre site on

Airport Freeway at Highway 360 to better accommodate

Arbor Day Becomes Arbor Daze the crowd. The larger venue allowed acts such as The

Beach Boys, (2000 and 2003), The Righteous Brothers

(2002) and The Four Tops (2001) to be offered. The crowd

continued to grow to over 200,000.

During the years of Arbor Daze on the Airport Freeway at

Highway 360 site, many local residents expressed the

opinion that the festival had grown much too large. Many

wished for the “Good Ole’ Days” when Arbor Daze was at

City Hall. In response to these other concerns, city

officials used 2006 as a year to consider what the Arbor

Daze of the future should be.

The 2007 Arbor Daze Festival will return to its "roots"

with an event for the Euless community. It has moved

back to the City Hall Complex and will be a festival to

remember. For the complete details, please see pages 14

& 15 of this magazine or visit www.arbordaze.org.

Due to recent improvements in technology called

hydrofracture technology, gas drilling has become more

of a reality for oil and gas operators. Barnett Shale is a

massive natural gas deposit that occurs naturally deep

under approximately seven counties in North Central

Texas and including northeast Tarrant County. The

Barnett field stretches from Dallas west approximately

5,000 square miles and produces about 1.2 billion cubic

feet of natural gas a day according to some industry

reports.

Many residents in Euless may have gas reserves

underneath their homes. If mineral rights to the home

you own were obtained at the time of purchase, you may

be contacted by a drilling company for a drilling lease

option. In anticipation of the gas drilling, the City of

Euless created a Gas Drilling and Production Ordinance

with safety and quality of life at the forefront.

The City of Euless has recently leased 339 acres of land in

and around Texas Star Sports Complex to XTO that are

Euless is working towards a complete conversionof traffic signals from incandescent to LED typefixtures. Currently all pedestrian crossing lightsand 98% of the city's signals have beenconverted. This will reduce the average dollarcost and energy consumption by 75%.Incandescent fixtures use 150 watts of electricitycompared to LED fixtures that use 8 watts.

Euless was the first city in Texas to provideapartments with a recycling alternative. Eulessresidential structure is made up of approximately45% apartments. This accounts for nearly half ofthe population and an even larger percentage ofpotential waste to be sent directly to landfills.Euless residents who live in apartments areoffered the opportunity to recycle the samematerials accepted in the single family curbsideprogram as well as the hazardous wastecollections twice a year.

TIPS for Saving Energy and Money at Home1. Add a new item to your recycle bag such assteel cans, plastic bottles or junk mail.2. Replace light bulbs with compact fluorescentbulbs. The corkscrew-shaped bulbs are a bit moreexpensive up front, but use 75% less electricity.3. Add 4-6 inches of mulch around your plants,which can cut water use by about 25%. 4. Maintain your vehicle. Properly inflated tiresand well-tuned engines will save gas and curbexcessive emissions.5. Shorten your shower by one minute. A familyof four, each showering for five minutes a day,uses 700 gallons a week; this is enough for athree-year supply of drinking water for oneperson.

eligible for gas extraction. XTO will have access to gas

reserves under the golf course and Parks at Texas Star

fields. Crews won't drill on city property. Instead, XTO will

lease land in Fort Worth to drill horizontally and reach gas

reserves under city property.

If you are contacted and have questions regarding gas

drilling or leases, the City of Euless can not offer legal

advice, but may be able to answer any general questions you

may have. Please contact the Planning Department at (817)

It Ain’t Easy Being Green

With the ever increasing population and influx of cars,highways and flights from DFW Airport, the challenge to keepEuless green is increasing daily. The City of Euless is meetingthat challenge through innovative programs, policies andprocedures that not only save valuable tax dollars, they makeEuless a more sustainable place to work and live. We wantedto share a few of our green features with you.

Euless has earned recognition for being environmentally tree-friendly as a White House Millennium Community and is theonly nation to be recognized twice by the National Arbor DayFoundation for its Arbor Day celebration.

In 2006 over 100 pounds of red wiggler worms were given toEuless residents. This was not an attempt to send themrunning and screaming the other direction. It was part of aneducation opportunity called Compost-ology, The Science andFun of Backyard Composting. Euless provided hands-onlearning opportunities in order to reduce the amount of yardwaste put in local landfills. The result was a decrease ingarbage collected and yard waste returned to the earth asnutrient rich mulch.

City of Euless fleet currently operates 37 vehicles on LiquefiedPetroleum Gas as an alternative fuel source. These units aredriven on propane in daily usage 70% of the time. This fuelalternative results in kinder emissions to the environment.Policies have been implemented that city vehicles will be of aLow Emissions Vehicle, Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle or a ZeroEmissions Vehicle type. Approximately 95% of the fleet meetsthis mandate.

MMiiddwwaayy PPaarrkk300 West Midway Drive

Midway Park is one of the first parks that the City of Eulesshad in its park system. The twenty-two acre park hastransitioned from a neighborhood park with few amenitiesto a community park with many recreational opportunities.Home of the Midway Recreation Center and pool, this parkis rich with history. Midway Park was home of boys baseballand girls softball for Euless citizens for nearly forty years.In fact, Midway Park was the home of the very first boysbaseball state tournament ever played in Euless.

We've recently added new play equipment to theplayground as well as the tot lot and we're currentlyworking with our Engineering Department on a new trailsystem that will connect on the east end with the MainStreet greenbelt trail and on the west side to Milam Driveand with connection points to the north that will create amuch safer route into the park from the Midway Parkneighborhood.
