Hurst Council honors Martinez family's Fresca's Lemonade Stand with 2025 award

The Hurst City Council meeting on June 24, 2025, highlighted community engagement and infrastructure improvements. A key moment was the recognition of the Martinez family for their participation in Lemonade Day, where their stand, Fresca's Lemonade Stand, was awarded the 2025 Best Lemonade Stand award. Council member Tracey Colbert presented the certificate, emphasizing the family's commitment to giving back by donating part of their proceeds to 6 Stones, a local charity. This donation will support school supplies for students in the HEB Independent School District.

Following the award presentation, the council moved to a consent agenda, which included several routine approvals. These included the approval of minutes from the previous meeting and authorizations for various contracts related to city infrastructure, such as a sign replacement agreement and paving services.

The meeting also addressed a public hearing regarding the potential repair, removal, or demolition of a property located at 916 Zelda Drive. Building official Tanya Wilson provided details on the condition of the property, indicating ongoing concerns that require council attention.

Overall, the meeting underscored the city's commitment to community support and infrastructure development, with plans for further action on property maintenance and improvements.
