Council OKs HEB ISD request to work outside standard construction hours for safety

The Euless City Council approved a temporary modification to the city's construction-hour restrictions to accommodate Hurst-Euless-Bedford Independent School District work tied to ongoing campus construction.

City Manager Barker explained that the district requested the ability to perform certain activities outside standard construction hours to safely move large equipment and perform tasks such as concrete pours outside student drop-off and pick-up times. Barker said the requested schedule would allow work Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and limited early-morning hours for concrete pouring; he added the permit could be revoked if the district failed to comply. Councilmember (mover) moved for approval, a councilmember seconded and the council approved the permit.

Barker said the permit would remain in effect for the duration of the construction project and that staff could revoke the authorization for failure to comply with conditions in the city code.
