This year, we provided the largest pay raise in more than a decade for our Fire & Police!!👮‍♂️ 👨‍🚒

Despite inflation, we did this while staying below the No New Revenue rate. I am extremely proud of my colleagues and staff in what we were able to accomplish. We are not finished, but please find the letter from the President of our Fire Association below:

Last night, we held a special meeting of the Keller City Council to address the proposed data center in Westlake—just 506 feet from the back doors of many Keller families in Marshall Ridge.

I was incredibly proud to see hundreds of Keller residents fill the room, stand up, and make their voices heard. They shared thoughtful concerns, asked important questions, and spoke passionately about their homes, their families, and their neighborhood.

Most importantly, we listened.

For many of these residents, this was the first time they felt a government entity had truly asked for their input on a project that could have a profound impact on their daily lives. They deserved that opportunity from the beginning.

After hours of discussion and public testimony, my Council colleagues and I went to work crafting a resolution that reflects the concerns we heard from our residents. We worked until nearly 12:30 a.m. because getting this right matters.

That resolution has now been submitted to Westlake ahead of their Monday meeting. Our request is clear: pause this development and work with us to find a solution that moves the data center farther away from these homes.

Governor Abbott has called for greater scrutiny and safeguards surrounding data center development in Texas. Keller is asking Westlake to join us in putting residents first.

As Mayor Pro Tem, I will continue to be relentless in advocating for the people I was elected to serve. City limits may define our jurisdiction, but they should never determine whose concerns deserve to be heard and respected.

I believe strong neighboring cities work together. What’s good for Keller can be good for Westlake—and the residents of both communities deserve transparency, respect, and a meaningful voice in decisions that affect their homes and quality of life.

We will keep showing up. We will keep asking the hard questions. And we will keep fighting for Keller.

Back……To……School!!!!! 🎒📚

Well, here we go! The summer went by way too fast, but I’m pretty sure the kids would tell you it should’ve lasted another 6 weeks. 😂 I may be in the “let the kiddos have a longer summer” camp myself!

I couldn’t be more proud of these three. Watching them grow into the people they’re becoming is one of the best parts of being a dad.

And with Keira officially a freshman (fish) this year… well, this could get interesting. 😂🏫

Here’s to a great school year, new adventures, good friends, and hopefully a little less homework than Dad remembers!

Ashlyn — Junior (KHS)
Keira — Freshman (KHS) 🐟
Keaton — Sixth Grade (ISMS)

Let’s have a great year!

Here is the statement from our Mayor Ross McMullin on the data center that is planned for Westlake. I, like many of you, found out today.

UPDATE: Residents’ next opportunity to provide feedback on this project to Westlake is the site plan review scheduled as part of next week’s Planning & Zoning Commission meeting: 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 4, in the Westlake Council Chambers at 1500 Solana Blvd., Bldg 7, Ste. 7100.

A MESSAGE FROM MAYOR MCMULLIN
We know that many Keller residents were disappointed and frustrated to learn today that a new data center is planned along Hwy. 377 in Westlake, just across our northern border.

My City Council colleagues and I were unfortunately surprised by the news as well.

With that said, here’s what I can share:

1. Legally, the property owner has the right to complete this project.

The site is located within the Town of Westlake on private property as part of a Planned Development that permits data center use by right. Westlake’s review process will govern design, landscaping, setbacks and related standards, but the land-use entitlement itself does not require further discretionary approval from Westlake leaders.

2. Keller has no zoning or land-use authority over this property.

Since this project sits entirely inside Westlake’s municipal boundaries, Keller leaders cannot rezone the land, deny permits, or impose any conditions on the development.

3. We will advocate on behalf of our residents.

Westlake has shared that infrastructure is in place to mitigate concerns about electricity and water demand. They’ve also confirmed that noise from the facility will be required to meet Westlake’s ordinance limits, comparable to a household refrigerator at the property line.

We will continue to advocate that Westlake remain transparent about the short- and longterm impacts of this development, including construction traffic routing, emergency-response coordination, stormwater, and any other effects that could spill across municipal boundaries. We will also advocate on behalf of our residents on these issues and any unforeseen concerns as they arise.

4. Let me be clear that Keller does not currently have any data centers in the development proposal pipeline. I can also assure you that data centers are not allowed by right anywhere in Keller. Keller residents would be part of any data center conversation in our community.

Any future proposal by a developer to build a data center in Keller would be required to go through the Planning & Zoning Commission and the Keller City Council, with multiple opportunities for residents to discuss concerns with city leaders.

One of the best things about this community is how engaged our residents are, and I appreciate every one of you who has reached out today about this project. I encourage you to stay involved, ask questions and share your concerns with us on this or any other topic; my door is always open.

-Mayor Ross McMullin

Ever wonder who puts up, and takes down, the beautiful 🇺🇸 American 🇺🇸 flags EVERY patriotic holiday (Independence Day, Veteran’s Day, etc) along Bear Creek Dr and Rufe Snow?

That would be the Rotary Club!

Every year, Greg Will, Keller City Councilman, Alisha Will, John Baker, Bob Whoopeecat Stephenson and others brave the heat or cold to honor our country and city. This year I was able to tag along…and it was HOT. We have some amazing and selfless people here in Keller!!!

America is a country created on lofty ideals. No other country was formed that way. It may not be perfect, but it is by far the best country in existence and throughout the history of mankind. As we celebrate 250 years of the great American experiment…try to remember some of these UNIQUELY American things:

🇺🇸 When you post on social media, it doesn’t cross your mind that you could be arrested. God bless America!

🇺🇸 If your parents get arrested or owe debts, they don’t get held against you. God bless America!

🇺🇸 Other citizens aren’t born with titles where society treats them as more important and better than you. God bless America!

🇺🇸 You can own and carry guns…and protect your family. God bless America!

🇺🇸 Your government doesn’t keep a “social credit system” that’s created by tracking you and your family and the decisions you make. God bless America!

🇺🇸 You can still walk down most streets and not worry about government CCTV tracking your every move. God bless America!

🇺🇸 You have a free press that can annoy the hell out of your elected leaders and ask them ANY question. God bless America!

🇺🇸 You get to elect your leaders. God bless America!

🇺🇸 You have rights that NO MAJORITY of citizens can ever take away because you’re in a Constitutional Republic, not a democracy. God bless America!

Happy Independence Day, my friends!
