Celina is a "Home Rule City" which puts the governing of the city in the hands of the elected City Council with the City Manager implementing those decisions. As a member of the City Council for the past several years, I am proud to be involved in the progression of our community. Comprehensive plans for our future land use and growth have been developed and many have been accomplished. Although we still have several planning projects and decisions to make. These decisions need to be made to ensure we grow with our goals in mind. Since we are located on Hwy. 289 (Preston Road) and the new extension of the Dallas North Tollway, we have quick access to Frisco, Plano, and the DFW area which offers limitless opportunities. That is one of the many reasons my wife and I chose Celina as our home after graduating from Texas A & M University. We loved the small-town charm and both have family which run deep throughout this area. Our families raised us in communities which had great pride in their traditions. This sense of community pride is what we wanted for our children and is exactly what we found in Celina.
More than 350 years ago, when a handful of men first settled the area around the Charles River that is now known as Wellesley, they were so delighted with their new town that they named it "Contentment." Although the name has changed over the centuries, the feeling of pride and satisfaction on the part of the residents toward their home still remains strong. For many residents, this feeling of community was best summed up in the 1981 Centennial Celebration, a year-long discovery of Wellesley which brought a new sense of awareness of its history, a new enjoyment of its present, and a renewed commitment to its future.
