First Baptist Church in Kennedale. I have agreed to maintain an "Adopt-A-Spot" on Sublett
Rd. I'm pleased to report that I found a$1 bill this week. I also offer gardening advise on the
KKB site under "Wilda's Wisdom". The Keep Kennedale Beautiful Commission
recommended a recycling program to the City Council. I am proud to have been a
participant in this recommendation. I have an intense interest in beautifying Kennedale. It's
been my home since 1954. It is my hope to continue working with the Keep Kennedale
Beautiful Commission. I can think of nothing else that I could do that would assist our
community more that continuing the work that KKB has started.

Stephen Brim P P P P A P P A P P P P P P
Biography & Community Involvement:
I am 30 years old and originally from Dallas, Texas. Currently I'm an active young
professional in the land development and engineering community. Post college I spent 5
years working for a civil engineering consulting firm and gained a wide knowledge base in
public and private development and construction type projects. Through many different
experiences and clients, I learned the importance of clear communication, workmanship and
professional ethics. I made a small career move last year by leaving the civil engineering
design world and entering the development community as a project manager for DR
Horton. In my spare time I enjoy playing hockey, cycling and helping my family on our
small farm in Central Texas.
Additional comments that you feel may assist City Council in a selection:
I am a licensed professional engineer. I am excited to be up for consideration to continue
serving on Planning and Zoning and I very much look forward to the new zoning
regulations and changes the City Council and Administrative Staff are working so diligently
towards.
