Immunization Information
Friday, July 30, 2010 |
Here at City Hall we're fielding lots of questions from parents about the immunization clinic that customarily is held here at the Haslet Community Center at back-to-school time.
We have been provided the attached flyer which lists when immunization clinics will be held in Tarrant County. The Health Department has NOT scheduled any Haslet immunization clinic this year.
As we get updated information from Tarrant County, we will make it available on this website.
Thank you! |

Children's Mural Painting Project - Slant 45
Wednesday, July 21, 2010 |
Children's Mural Painting Project - Slant 45 Project is coming the first two weekends in October! Slant 45 stands for Service Learning Adventures in North Texas. This project will involve getting 20,000 children from grades 3 through 5 to commit to 45,000 community service hours. Here in Haslet, our new Library Director and her team were brainstorming on a project that would have lasting impact and came up with the idea of doing a mural on the restroom at the Community Park. Jennifer Shelly, Library Director, will be the Coach/lead person in charge with Megan Nieves, Library Assistant, being in charge of the art portion. Recently the Haslet Park Board unanimously approved the project and Haslet City Council approved at their meeting of June 7, 2010. Now is the time for the students to start signing up to participate. The project will be done in the morning hours of specific dates in September or October when it is cooler. The paint planned for use on the mural cannot be used in weather hotter than 90 degrees.
Here is a description of the proposed mural: the State of Texas will be used as a back drop with various Texas symbols that will be made of the handprints of the children who will volunteer. This will be a way to help beautify the area and create a legacy for the community. Nieves describes it as a tribute to Haslet - a piece of art that the children and their families can visit and share with generations to come.
Please download the flyer and we hope to see you at Slant 45 painting day! |

Economic Development Agreement is a first for Haslet!
Monday, July 12, 2010 |
A first for Haslet City Leaders – an Economic Development Agreement!
Combination of Sales Tax money and developer contribution will help provide water and sewer line to a ‘hot intersection’.
Haslet, Texas, July 12, 2010: Friday afternoon, July 9, 2010, Mr. A.L. Burtin with Westwood Development Group I, delivered a check to the City of Haslet for $104,223. This is the first payment of two, the next to be delivered in July 2011, toward a Water and Sanitary sewer line which will be constructed to the intersection of Avondale-Haslet Road and FM 156. On the southwest corner of this intersection Westwood Development will build a project commonly known as LeTara Commercial center.
The intersection is a popular one. In addition to Westwood Development Group, there are corners owned by three other developers.
At their last City Council meeting on July 6, 2010, the Haslet City Council ratified an Economic Development and Performance Agreement previously negotiated and adopted between the Westwood Group and the Haslet Economic Development Corporation Type A. The requirement that the developer make a contribution for the two utility lines is part of this agreement. The City’s Economic Development Director, David Miracle, was noticeably pleased when he presented the item to City Council by explaining that this is ‘the first Economic Development agreement of many more to come’.
The Mayor and City Council have been radically changing their approach to developer/city relations in the last year. The new approach is proactive. The City Council and both EDCs adopted a new Strategic Plan for Economic Development and have posted it on the city’s website. One of the main goals cited in the plan was to get utility service to this intersection.
Type A EDC will ‘front’ the money – give the money to the City of Haslet - to build an over-sized water and sewer line to the intersection. The total amount for the utility lines totals just under $700,000. Off the top, the City water fund will pay for the ‘over-sizing’ portion of the lines (about $180,000). This will assure that future development will have adequate capacity (including residential development in this area). Of the remaining $520,000 – the developer/owner of each corner of this intersection has been assigned a ‘pro-rata’ cost share of the lines based upon their respective developable acres. Each will ‘pay back’ Type A EDC according to an agreement. This Westwood agreement establishes that Westwood will pay $161,000 as their share for the lines.

All About the Annexations
Monday, April 19, 2010 |
Haslet City Council is currently considering annexing some property at the southwest corner of Avondale-Haslet Road and FM 156 – this property is commonly referred to as the ‘LeTara’ commercial property. This annexation has been requested by the property owner. By state law, Haslet cannot annex any property that is not contiguous to the city limits (directly adjacent to an existing city limits border), so the City Council will simultaneously consider annexing an area of FM 156 right of way (roadway itself) so that the city limits border is extended to abut the LeTara parcel being annexed. This FM 156 parcel is owned by TXDOT (State of Texas). There are no homes in the two areas proposed for annexation; these parcels are uninhabited.
The zoning requested for the newly annexed LeTara tract is ‘CO’ – Commercial Zoning as the base zoning district. The ‘LR’ – Local Retail Transition Overlay Zone is an automatically assigned zoning district along the FM 156 Corridor.
On April 5, 2010, the City of Haslet City Council approved a Memorandum of Agreement with the developers of the LeTara property, in support / coordination with a previous agreement made by the Haslet Type ‘A’ EDC on February 4, 2010. Part of this agreement was that the developer, Westwood, would begin annexation procedures for the LeTara commercial corner.
At their April 19, 2010 Regular City Council meeting, City Council will discuss a draft ‘time line’ for the annexation procedures to be conducted. Currently, the tentative time line looks like this:
• April 16, 2010, Friday, the Notice of Public Hearings was drafted and sent to owners / taxing entities/utilities which own/serve the area under consideration for annexation.
• April 19, 2010, Monday: Council reviews state law requirements for conducting annexation of property and reviews the tentative ‘annexation calendar’. (Including discussion of holding a special meeting 5-25-2010)
• May 3, 2010, Monday: At their Regular City Council meeting, the City Council will approve a Resolution which will formally call the Annexation Public Hearing(s) for May 17th and May 25th.
• May 5, 2010, Wednesday: In Haslet’s newspaper of record, the Times-Register, the Public Hearing Notice for the Annexation(s) will be printed, as well as a Public Hearings Notice for the Zoning request – that first Public Hearing being before the Haslet Planning and Zoning Commission at their May 24th meeting, then before City Council at their June 21st Meeting. Also on this date, the City development department will place signage on the site to indicate they are under consideration for annexing/zoning change.
• May 17, 2010, Monday: The first Public Hearing on the Annexation is held during a Regular City Council Meeting. Any citizen wishing to express opinions regarding these annexations will be given an opportunity to speak. Service Plans for the areas proposed to be annexed will be available for review at the Office of the City Secretary from this date, until annexation is complete.
• May 24, 2010, Monday: Haslet Planning and Zoning Commission will consider platting requests for the LeTara property. (for details- see the P&Z agenda as posted on the City website). Planning and Zoning will also consider the initial zoning request and will hold a Public Hearing.
• May 25, 2010, Tuesday: The second Public Hearing on Annexation is held during a Special City Council Meeting. Any citizen wishing to express opinions regarding these annexations will be given an opportunity to speak.
• June 21, 2010, Monday: The City Council will hold a Public Hearing on the request for initial zoning, as P&Z did back at their meeting of May 24th. The City Council will consider two Ordinances, one annexing the FM 156 parcel then on to annex the LeTara parcel -in that order. Then the zoning ordinance will be considered as well as the platting of the parcel. The Council will have the recommendations of the P&Z for the zoning and the platting requests.
If the Ordinances pass to approve the annexations, the Ordinance captions will be printed in the Times Register, the official city map will be revised by the City Engineer and posted upon the website asap, and the ordinances will be filed with the Tarrant County Clerk, US Dept. of Justice and the Texas Secretary of State.
With any questions regarding these annexations, please contact the City Secretary’s office at 817-439-5931x5. Thank you.
