ITEM NO. 1 - Workshop
Mayor Pro Tem Wright advised the Kennedale Youth Association (KYA) that
Council had voted to table the KYA contract at their February 8, 1996
meeting, rather than approve it due to criticism the city was receiving
from residents regarding the KYA. In addition to the criticism, a
survey prepared by the Kennedale Park Board showed a negative aspect
between the City and KYA as well.
After substantial discussion regarding KYA, the consensus of Council was
to have KYA prepare a letter to the City stating what actions were going
to be taken within KYA's organization to prove to Council that they are
a responsible organization, prepare a plan that would reflect long range
goals of KYA as well as promote the development of Kennedale's youth,
provide the City with a copy of KYA By laws, and provide a copy of
Officers Code of Conduct along with plans to implement and enforce them
against violators. All of the above noted items are to be submitted to
Council prior to their March 14, 1996 meeting.
Next, Council noted that the most effective way to resolve any disputes
between the KYA and the City would be for the KYA Board to address the
Kennedale Park Board in writing so that all problems could be handled in
the most efficient and professional manner rather than escalating beyond
control and into rumors.
There being no further discussion the meeting was adjourned at 10:00
p.m.
