It is time again for the Bartonville Town Council and Planning and Zoning Commission to review the Town’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan. As part of the Town’s best practices focus, a complete review and update of the plan is undertaken every five years. Over the next couple of months, the Council and P&Z will work to finalize a community survey that will go out to all residents for their feedback. The Comprehensive Plan is the roadmap that guides the vision and future of the community, so resident input is critical to the success of this process. Please keep a look out for announcements on our website.
The Bartonville Traffic Committee was created by Town Council at its Special Meeting on July 26. This committee is comprised of the Mayor and up to two members of the Town Council, as well as three regular and two alternate positions filled by residents. The purpose of the Committee is to research, develop, and recommend ways and means of improving traffic conditions for safety such as cut-through traffic and speeding to the Town Council. Agendas for this committee will be posted on the Town’s website and meetings will be open to the public.
The Town Council is currently working on the 2022-2023 proposed budget. As part of the budget process the Town Council will review proposed road projects for the upcoming year, allocate funding for staffing and services, technology upgrades and special projects and events. A budget work session will be held prior to the regular meeting on August 16 at 6:30 p.m. and the proposed budget will be posted on the Town’s website by August 19. The Town Council will conduct a public hearing on the proposed budget on Tuesday, September 6th at 7 p.m. Formal adoption of the budget and tax rate will be conducted at the September 20 meeting.
As part of the annual road projects, microsurfacing will be performed on Glenview, Shiloh, Briarwood, Coyote Court, Wolf Run, Green Oaks, and Post Oak Roads. Spot repairs and crack sealing will begin within the next month ahead of the microsurfacing that is anticipated to occur in late September. Microsurfacing is a thin maintenance treatment used on pavement surfaces to reduce water infiltration and provide skid resistance, as well as minimize aging, weathering, and oxidation. This process can extend the life of a road for up to 10 years.
The Town is continuing to accept applications for the Bartonville Community Development Corporation. Now is your chance to get involved and serve at the local level. Please visit the Town’s website for more information.

Due to the drought and continued dry weather conditions, Denton County has issued a Burn Ban.
