                 CITY OF COLLEYVILLE RANKED IN TOP TEN

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. MICHAEL C. BURGESS

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, September 7, 2004

  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, it is my great honor to recognize five 
communities within my district for being acknowledged as among the 
``Top Ten Suburbs of the Dallas-Fort Worth Area,'' by D Magazine, a 
regional monthly publication. Top honors went to Southlake, 
Colleyville, Highland Village, Flower Mound, and Coppell based on these 
communities' excellent schools, affordability, and low crime rates.
  Every two years, the magazine ranks some fifty plus suburbs of the 
Dallas-Fort Worth region, the State of Texas' largest metropolitan 
area. Colleyville was ranked number five on this year's top ten after 
receiving top marks as a ``laid back'' community. D Magazine also noted 
the city's recognition for being a national ``Kid Friendly City,'' 
``Tree City U.S.A.'' and ``Texas' Safest City.''
  I applaud Mayor Joe Hocutt and the City Council of Colleyville for 
building the City of Colleyville into a distinguished community. I am 
proud to represent such a vibrant city.
