Members present were Mayor Abbott, Councilman Wright, Mundy, Barrett,
Boone, and Kovach.
Staff present were Ted Rowe, Kathy Turner, and Michael Box.
ITEM NO. 1 - Consideration of Contract 96-01 - Kennedale Youth
Association.
Councilman Mundy moved to approve Contract 96-01 with the Kennedale
Youth Association for a period of six months beginning on February 8,
1996 and ending on August 1, 1996, seconded by Councilman Boone.
Councilman Kovach questioned financial sanctions. Councilman Mundy
stated that due to sign ups taking place at the current time, he felt
that putting a stipulation on the finances would burden KYA.
Councilman Boone agreed with this statement and felt the only change
should lie within the length of the contract.
Councilman Barrett stated that he was in agreement with Mundy's motion
` and that non Kennedale residents grandfathered since 1994 be honored in
the current contract but he has a hard time allowing someone exclusive
use of city property who are not tax payers of the city.
Councilman Kovach questioned the insurance amount and it was the
consensus that KYA had to provide the additional amount because of a
requirement of the Pony League not the city. In addition, Councilman
Kovach questioned immediate termination clause and was advised that it
was in Paragraph two.
Councilman Mundy, Boone and Barrett voted in favor; Councilman Wright
voted against with Councilman Kovach abstaining. Motion carried.
ITEM NO. 2 - General Discussion.
Mayor Abbott stated that this contract shows a sign of support from the
City to KYA and with this vote, the support is still there. In addition
Mayor Abbott advised citizens that the City is in a contract with KYA
and as far as an organization, the City has no leverage over KYA and
does not want that. It is a member organization and the members are the
ones that have to address the problems that are within KYA. In closing,
Mayor Abbott stated that he hoped that any personalities that are within
KYA get bigger than the object of KYA, that they either excuse
themselves or re-evaluate why they are there.
There being no further discussion, Mayor Abbott adjourned the meeting at
8:00 p.m.

Mayor Bill Abbott
