BOX 185 COLLEYVILLE, TEXAS 76034 (817) 577-7575 31 March 2002 Colleyville City Council Colleyville, Texas The 12 February 2002 minutes of the Colleyville Preservation Committee record that Michael Patterson stated he had been asked if the committee could move the historical marker that is now in front of City Hall to another site; and that staff replied that they would research information needed to do that. The marker Patterson referenced is the Texas Historical Marker entitled "Dr. Lilburn Howard Colley", the man for whom the city was named. It was originally placed in front ofthe old location of the U.S. Post Office that carries his name - Colleyville Post Office. When the post office moved, the marker had to be moved from in front of the building which no longer had a relationship to the subject. The Tarrant County Historical Commission, after consultation with Colleyville city government, asked the Texas Historical Commission for permission to move the marker to the entrance of City Hall. That was considered the most appropriate place for the marker for whom the city is named. It is anticipated that when the new City Hall is completed the city will agree to place the Texas Historical Marker for Dr. Colley in front of that building, or somewhere within the city complex. As to moving an official Texas Historical Marker, neither the city historical committee, nor the city government, may move a State marker without Texas Historical Commission approval. Texas Historical Markers are the property of the State of Texas, with locations recommended and requested by the County Historical Commission, and approval by the Texas Historical Commission. In order to receive approval for moving a marker, certain requirements and procedures must be met. The city should make a written request to the Tarrant County Historical Commission, the official ann of County and State governments that coordinates the Texas marker program for this county. The city should state the reason for the necessity or desire to move the marker, and why the new site would be more appropriate than the present site. The city must submit a map of the city showing the site that the city desires to place the marker. It must provide photographs of the site and the surrounding area. Any procedure concerning a Texas Historical Marker must be referred to the agencies with responsibility for those markers.
