Cedar Hill Library, Fire Hall Look For City Bond Construction Money

Zula B. Wylie Library Director Pat Bonds didn’t want to call it a “competition.”

But the library and the Cedar Hill Fire Department may be competing for capital improvement dollars in the coming fiscal year.

At the first of several workshops April 15, the Cedar Hill City Council began the process of sorting out what capital improvement projects to fund and how.

Unfortunately, the city is about $260,000 short of addressing all of the requests it received, outside of using debt-based money.

The winners from current budget funds are fire station and public works office improvements. Pushed off into bond-based funding is a Cedar Hill Museum of History at the Zula B. Wylie Library, along with expansion of the library itself.

Lions Club Pancake Breakfast



The Cedar Hill Lions Club held its annual Pancake Breakfast on Saturday, February 2, 2008. It was the largest turnout ever!

Unlimited pancakes and sausage drew a large crowd from the community. We gave away many prizes in the silent auction and frequent raffles.

The proceeds from the Pancake Breakfast go to support the many Lions Club charities, such as free eye exams and glasses for needy children.

Thank you to all who supported us!
