WHERE WE LIVE | SUMMER 2021

can find out all of the information on page 19. We look forward to seeing you at the pools this summer!

MAYOR’S MESSAGE After the harsh winter we experienced, summer is a welcome thing! Summer is bringing with it so many exciting activities, including an aquatics season! As you remember, due to the pandemic in 2020, our aquatics centers were closed. This year, we are excited to offer an aquatics season by opening the Chisholm Aquatics Center to the public. So be sure to go cool off at this fantastic facility this summer. Swim lessons will take place at Central Aquatics Center. Stay tuned as we plan to host a few exciting events at Central Aquatics Center as well. Catch all the details on page 19. And, be sure to catch Finn’s summer safety tips to stay safe in all pools this year on page 17.

Another great bit of news is that our Hurst Senior Activities Center reopened on May 3.

Our members have sincerely missed the facility and the fellowship it brings. Be sure to catch all of the re-opening details on page 14.

Our annual Stars & Stripes event is returning this year with a few changes. You can get the details of the event on page 21. I look forward to celebrating Independence Day with you once again.

Also returning this year is the Citizens Police

Academy, hosted by the Police Department. This free learning event is an opportunity to get to know some of the staff and their roles and better understand police activity. Page 4 has all the details.

Mayor Henry Wilson

I would like to take a moment to recognize Councilmember Larry Kitchens for his 20 years of dedicated service to the city as a city council member. He retired in May, and we have a special piece honoring his service on page 10. We are grateful for all that he contributed to Hurst during his time on council. During the recent election, Councilmember John Miller was elected to fill Place 2. I look forward to serving alongside him and wish him years of success as part of this council.

I’m sure you are just as excited as I am to be getting back to our normal activities that we have missed so much. I hope you have a great summer ahead, and I look forward to seeing you out at some of our events.

— Mayor Henry Wilson

City Council helped recognize volunteers who reached over 200 volunteer hours.

Volunteers in Action This past April, we celebrated our wonderful volunteers during National Volunteer Appreciation Month.

Our first celebration was Tuesday, April 13 at the City Council meeting, where we recognized those members of our VIA program who had reached the 200-hour milestone in volunteer hours.

The following week we celebrated our volunteers that had donated hours during 2019 and 2020. Due to COVID, we were unable to celebrate these wonderful volunteers for their dedicated service in 2019. For that reason, we had an even more festive event with two years of volunteer service being recognized at our drive-thru event Volunteers were recognized for their dedicated service during a drive-thru event.

on April 21!

Our volunteers are a true asset to the City of Hurst! We thank all of our volunteers for helping us continue to be a community built on connection.

WAT CONSERVA Water conservation involves us all.

This summer while keeping your lawn and plants hydrated, be water aware with these tips from Water Is Awesome.

TUNE UP YOUR IRRIGATION SYSTEM Fix leaks or damaged sprinkler heads and make sure they’re aimed at the landscape, not the street or sidewalk

DON’T WATER BETWEEN 10 A.M. AND 6 P.M. Up to 30 percent of the water we spray on lawns during the heat of the day is lost to evaporation.

WATER

BY THE DROP Use drip irrigation for trees, shrubs, and flowerbeds. Drip systems put water in the root zone - that’s right where the plants need it. And adapters make it easy to convert from spray to drip.

CYCLE AND SOAK TO AVOID RUNOFF

TWICE A WEEK OR LESS

Irrigate in shorter bursts to give water a chance to soak in, and allow 30 minutes or more between cycles.

If you’re watering more than two days a week, you’re watering too much.

TER ATION TIPS RAIN AND FREEZE SMART CONTROLLERS SENSORS ARE KNOW WHEN WATER SAVERS TO SAY WHEN They trigger automatic systems to shut off during downpours or when temperatures dip near freezing. And they could reduce your outdoor use by 5–10 percent.

GIVE YOUR SPRINKLER A REST ON WINDY DAYS There are certain things to avoid doing on windy days. Watering your lawn is one of them.

They are like irrigation clocks that automatically adjust run times in response to weather conditions.

REPLACE THAT THIRSTY TURF Grass is great for play spaces, but do we really need so much? Replace those little-used areas of your lawn with other types of landscaping or water stingy plants.
