XEEP KENNEDALE BEAUTIFUL Staff Report to the Commissioners
Date: September 9, 2014
Agenda Item No: REGULAR ITEMS-A.
I. Subject:
Discuss and consider action necessary for the October 18th "Bring It" event
II. Originated by:
Kelly Cooper, Director of Human Resources
III.Summary:
As an update to the event,the banners have been ordered and will be put out in the next few weeks preferably
by September 15th. I've asked Stephen Brim to update the poster/flyer and will have it ready by the 15th as
well. The electronic recycling company (DFW Reclaimers) and the paper shredding company (Action Shred)
have both confirmed their participation at the event. Donuts, coffee and water will be provided for the
volunteers. We'll need someone to take a cooler by the fire station and fill with ice the morning of the event.
In addition to placing posters around town, an announcement should be made at both the September(Sept
11) and the October(October 9) City Council meetings. Is there any additional items that should be discussed?

XEEP KENNEDALE BEAUTIFUL Staff Report to the Commissioners
Date: September 9, 2014
Agenda Item No: REGULAR ITEMS- B.
I. Subject:
Discuss and consider action necessary for a community Arbor Day event
II. Originated by:
Kelly Cooper, Director of Human Resources
III.Summary:
This item was tabled at our last meeting due to time constraints.The last few years we have hosted an Arbor
Day event in either October or November to meet the requirements of Tree City USA. Last year we brought in
the Backland Prairie Raptor Center who presented an educational event on birds. We cooked hotdogs, handed
out trees and enjoyed a beautiful day in the park.
This year we have discussed working with the library to include seed bombing with a hayride through town to
throw the seeds out in Kennedale medians.This item provides us the opportunity to discuss what type of event
we'd like to host, a date and time for the event, determine a budget, discuss marketing, volunteers, etc.
The Texas Tree Foundation has shown interest in assisting with the event by providing trees. Laurie Sanders
may have an update regarding possible sponsorship with TXU.
As a side note, I received an email from the Blackland Prairie Raptor Center which indicated the fall calendar
was filling up and we may not be able to schedule a program this year. Once we have a date set and if the
committee would like to consider bringing them out again, I will try and schedule. It might be nice to include
the library in this program as a way to encourage education and participation.

KKB has received another request for an Adopt-A-Spot location. The location requested is Little School Road
between Mansfield Cardinal and Sublett. Essentially the round-a-bout at Sublett to Mansfield Cardinal. The
adoptee is a company on Tower Drive called Chase Elastomer A HEXPOL COMPANY. The manager in charge of

I. Subject:
Review and discuss current budget and project planning for next year
II. Originated by:

Attached is the current year budget and expenditures as well as the work plan for the fiscal year that is ending
September 30, 2014. Staff suggests that the board review the budget, determine projects and strategic
direction for next year. With adoption of a new budget in October 2014.
Most expenditures have been on the Bring It event and the Bird/Butterfly demonstration garden. With these
two programs running smoothly and with the Adopt-A-Spot program off to a good start,the board may want to
consider a review of the strategic plan and turn the focus to other activities.
