Celeste,
Please schedule the following ASAP and communicate with David., ... ....-this includes council members, rnoyor, and
department heads.
Bob Wilkins, Rachel Roberts and I will be attending the task force joint meeting next Monday evening. My calendar
shows 6 p.m. at city hall. In preparation for that meeting I was hoping we could have the report with task force
recommendations I sent you last week as a handout. If we need to talk about specific recommendations sometime this
week, let me know. By the way, if Kennedale has not yet undertaken a market analysis to determine the most
appropriate types of retail and industrial prospects to pursue, that might be an appropriate and useful recommendation
for the business development task force to make.
