IV. Visitor/Citizens Forum—no one present to speak.
V. F;bgular Items
A. Fbview and discuss the on-line litter survey
The results indicated that we had approximately 51 residents participate
in the survey from a variety of age ranges. Staff offered options for next
stepsto consider curbside recycling, including the possibility of a pilot
program in the fall with more information to follow.
B. Discuss and approve next steps for the bird/butterfly demonstration garden
Staff reported that Wilda, Pam and Fred have completed the soil
amendment and weed pulling in the garden. The next step isto
determine a day to plant and any other activities left to complete.
Several actions previously discussed were placement of the bird bath,
extending rock along the front of the garden were it is too wet to plant,
finishing out the path and filling in with plants and mulch. Same or all of
this can be completed anytime between now and/or early to late fall.
Laurie will post on Facebook the work that needs to be done in the
garden to encourage volunteers to assist us.
C Discuss and take action to implement a recycling pilot program
Staff provided an update regarding curbside recycling. Residential
surveyscontinue to indicate that residentsare interested. The city has
provided drop-off recycling locations at city hall and the landfill but we
are now having problems with these locations. Progressive Waste has
contacted the city to tell them the service sites are being abused and the
dumpsters cannot be recycled due to all the trash and unrecyclable
materials being placed in them (such astires, furniture, and TV.'s).
Progressive Waste Solutions is offering a curbside recycling pilot program
for one neighborhood to determine if residents would support paying for
such a service. The proposed pilot program would be provided to one
neighborhood for approximately three months, at no cost to the
residents during the pilot. The city would cover the cost of the service
during the pilot program. The proposed cost for residential curbside
recycling is estimated for a 65 gallon cart, weekly pickup is$3.60 per
month or every other week pickup is estimated at $2.75 per month.
There are four possible neighborhoods with HOA'sthat could easily be
considered for the pilot program: Steeplechase(184 homes), Brookstone
(135 homes), Shady Creek(114 homes), and Oak Hill Park(154 homes).
Next month the board should make a recommendation asto which
neighborhood the pilot program should begin.
D. Discuss and approve action for implementation of the Oakhill Park Yard of the
Month program
Staff provided a brief report regarding the attached email requesting
participation in the Oakhill Park yard of the month program. This is a new
program under consideration by the HOA. Millie Daviswas not present at
the meeting to discuss her request.
The Yard of the Month program would be a nice way to get KKB involved
and marketed in the community. The cost of the sign would be minimal
and could be purchased at the same location asthe adopt-a-spot signs. The
board will be provided an item in the future to discuss budget action.
E Discuss and consider action for implementation of the 2014 KKB Strategic Plan
The board was provided with a copy of the Strategic Plan and it staff will
place it back on the agenda once everyone has ample time to review.
VI. Reports/Announcements
Kelly made an announcement about the boards and commission process
through the city secretary's off ice asking those up for appointment to be
sure to complete paperwork.
VII. Adjournment —6:42 p.m.
