Date: April 11, 2017
Agenda Item No: REGULAR ITEMS - A.
I. Subject:
Discuss and approve action necessary for the Don't Mess with Texas Clean-up April 22, 2017
II. Originated by:
Kelly Cooper, Director of Human Resources
III. Summary:
In preparation for the clean-up event the Board should discuss the following items:
1. Volunteers - Staff has invited all the Adopt-A-Spot participants to assist during the clean-up. Staff
has received confirmation that 10-12 students from Fellowship Academy will assist. As well as two
additional families, Kennedale Cares (Chamber of Commerce) and two other groups (boy scouts and
girl scouts) considering how they can assist. The board should continue to announce a call for
volunteers on facebook as well as word of mouth. I have contacted KISD but have not heard from any
specific groups interested. At this point, we have approximately 15 known volunteers.
2. Marketing - We have placed four banners at various locations around town as well as posted it on
the city website, City Hall, and Library. If someone could attend the City Council meeting on April 17th
and make an announcement there, we may pick up a few more participants; of course we want to
invite the City Council to join us as well.
3. Event- We should plan to be in the park around 7:15 a.m. to set up the tables etc. We can no
longer use tables from the community center, however City Hall does have about four of the light
weight tables we can take out in the park. Everyone will need to bring a lawn chair as, again, we can
not take chairs out of the community center. The program begins at 8:00 a.m. with check-in, we'll
need one or two people checking people in, making sure they sign waivers then sending them to the
safety/equipment table for traffic vests, and bags. The Mayor will kick off the program at 8:20, Michael
will give our safety speech, and then we will take a group picture and clean-up. I think it will be easiest
to give folks colored dots to assign them into groups, then the Board member as team captain can
meet with your team and tell them where you will be picking up trash. I've attached several items to
the packet, one page is the team captain responsibilities.
4. Board Assignments - The Board should discuss tonight the various assignments they would like to
work. This is open for change: Check-in Table: Vinita and Dora Ann; Equipment/Safety Table: Kelly
Cooper; Team Captains: Caesar- Blue Team; Darlene - Green Team; Laurie - Yellow Team; Vickie -
Red Team; Jack Thompson/Mayor- Purple Team. That is assuming 25 volunteers. Michael will make
water runs to each group and then cook hamburgers. Vinita and Dora Ann will assist with setting up
lunch.
5. Areas for Cleanup - This will depend on the number of Volunteers. We should consider the area
that Darlene requested which is the New Hope Road by the Church of Christ down to Sonora
Park; next I would send a group down to QT and clean up that side of the parkway; with the third
group on the Nancy's Liquor side of the parkway; the fourth group could be around Town Center area
from the parkway, behind Dollar store, both pad sites and the park if there is time; The last group could
take Mansfield Cardinal at Burger Box or go down Sublet by Emerald Hills on both sides.
6. Donation - The Board had discussed attempting to get a donation from Home Depot, Lowes, etc.
Are we on track for something or do we forgo this item?
7. The Board should take the opportunity to discuss any other items associated with this event but not
mentioned above.

Great American dean-Up/Don't Mess with Texas Trash Off
Volunteer Welcome
Good morning everyone and thank you for volunteering for our Great American Clean-
Up/Don't Mess With Texas Trash Off event, sponsored by Keep Texas Beautiful! Millions of
pieces of litter accumulate on our roadways each year. By joining forces as we are doing
today, we can keep Texas roadsides clear of trash.
The Don't mess with Texas Trash-Off is the single largest one-day cleanup event in the state
and serves as Texas's signature event for the Great American Cleanup, the nation's largest
community Improvement program. Engaging more than 4 million volunteers and community
members, like you, annually has led to a positive and lasting impact for environments across
the nation.
Your participation sends a clear message to Texans everywhere: The smallest efforts really do
make the biggest difference. Last year alone, over 34,000 volunteers, collected 1 .5 million
pounds of waste and recyclables, and cleaned nearly 4,000 miles of Texas roadway. Take
pride in the fact that you are part of making our great state beautiful.
Our event shows not just our community, but the rest of Tne nation tnat we are committed to
keeping Kennedale beautiful nc I just today, but every day.
Thank you again, and let's get cleaning!
Mayor Johnson,
appreciate your help with the KKB Don't Mess with Texas event on Saturday,
April 22, from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at TownCenter Park pavilion.
The activities will begin at 8:00 a.m. at TownCenter Park pavilion with getting
everyone checked-in and set up with equipment for the cleanup. The program
will begin at 8:20 a.m. then volunteers will disperse to pick up trash. We will cook
hamburgers for lunch for those volunteering after the cleanup.

Detailed Program Information
Welcome and Opening Comments - Mayor
I want to welcome everyone today to the Kennedale Don't Mess with Texas
Clean-up. Thank you for coming today to help volunteer to keep your city
beautiful. We appreciate everyone's participation and hard work today.
I would like to thank Keep Kennedale Beautiful for organizing this morning's
Cleanup event. We really appreciate everyone's volunteer efforts and choosing
to spend your Saturday morning with us to beautify your city. Today's cleanup
efforts could not be accomplished without each of you working together.
We have several people and organizations here with us today that I would like to
recognize:
City Council members
Parks and Recreation Advisory Board members
Keep Kennedale Beautiful Board members
Keep Kennedale Beautiful — Michael Chandler KKB Chair
Keep Kennedale Beautiful -- Michael Chandler KKI3 Chair
Thank you for your participation today and patience while we get everyone set
up.
I'd like to also thank the Board (call them forward) for assisting in coordinating
and planning today's cleanup. And I'd like to also thank our team captains.
Today is going to be a fun day; however we need to take a moment to talk about
safety.
Please be very careful with sharp items. Needles and pieces of glass can cut
through your bag and therefore should be placed in our "sharps" container (use
an empty detergent bottle). Please do not empty out containers that are sealed
tight. We understand that this might weigh down your bags, however, it is better
that the contained liquid stay out of the water. Use common sense when picking
up items.
Remember, you do not have to pick up anything you do not want to. Let me or a
team leader know and we'll come remove it. Keep your gloves and shoes on until
the end. If anyone finds any type of hazardous materials like batteries, gas cans,
or ammunition please let one of the main organizers know immediately. Keep an
eye out for poison ivy, as well.
If we're experiencing high temperatures
We know it's hot out here, so please stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water and
take a moment to rest in the shade if you begin to feel overheated.
Lunch will be provided at the conclusion of today's activities, so be sure to come
back to the park for lunch.
Before we split into teams and begin, we would like to get a picture of the entire
group holding the flag and banner.
Please invite everyone to hold the KKB for the picture.
Let's get started! Thank you for coming out!
Welcome
Thanks for attending tonight and volunteering to be a team captain.
We'd like this to be a pretty quick meeting. We have three blocks of information
to discuss;
i Overview of Saturday's event
2. Your Role as a Team Captain
& A packet of information to review
4. Answer any questions you might have
Event:
The focus is Kennedale Parkway: dliis was selected because of the Green
Ribbon project that will begin later this fall. Depending on number of
volunteers, and time, we will move from the Parkway to other streets, for
example; Corry A Edwards, Bowman Springs, Kennedale Sublet, Mansfield
Cardinal, etc.
Main Activity: The Main Activity for the cleanup is picking up litter.
Teams: KKB thought teams to be the best way to make this happen. Each
Team will be assigned 4-5 individuals. The idea is that everyone can fit into one
vehicle and drive to the location.
Your team will be assigned one side of the road. We'll work from 1-20 to
TownCenter and from Eden to TownCenter,
The Parkway has been divided into 4 possible sections and will comprise eight
groups (If possible). If more volunteers participate, we will pick up the additional
streets. If less, we will begin at each end and work toward the middle.
You have the option of putting together your own team of volunteers or
volunteers can be assigned to you as they sign in on Saturday.
Safety: Safety is number one, so no small children will be allowed to volunteer
on the Parkway. Children will be assigned to Sonora Park and Bird Habitat,
TownCenter Park and Municipal Complex. More on Safety as we go through
the packet.
Timing of Event: Team Captains should plan on being at TownCenter Pavilion at
7:45 a.m. This will ensure that you are check-in, waivers in place, etc. and ready
in place to receive assigned volunteers to your team.
Volunteers will check-in, sign waivers, receive safety equipment, and then be
directed to team assignment table. This will give you an opportunity to meet,
greet and get organized as a team.
The Mayor will say a few words beginning about 8:20 am, we will take a group
picture and then everyone goes to their assigned location.
If your team finishes your assignment early; you can come back for another
map. Everyone should be complete by 11 :30 to Noon.
Litter: Litter should be placed in the bags provided. When full, tie them off and
leave at the closest intersection for pick-up by IESI. Bring recycling materials to
City Hall Recycling Container for pick-up.
At Noon: Lunch will be served.
Team Captain Role:
Pull out your packet, page one highlights your responsibilities as a captain.
Review each page:

Team Captains must review the following safety_guidelines with your team

overgrown vegetation)
• Use the "buddy system"working in teams to maximize safety
• Wear long pants and long-sleeved shirts
• Wear sunscreen and bug repellent as needed
• Wear safety vests at all times
• Don't overdo it physically, if you get tired, rest.
• Drink plenty of fluids
• Do not overstuff litter collection bags. (leave full bags at street intersections for pickup)
• Don't pick up hazardous materials such as hypodermic needles, sharp objects, animal
carcasses or other unidentified, questionable objects– Report to Team Captain
• Don't attempt to move, carry, or bag large heavy objects—report items to Team Captain
• Don't bring pets, as they may distract participants or detract from the cleanup
• Wash your hands after the event (Sanitizer will be available at the TownCenter Park
Pavilion)
• Do not go onto private property. Stay within city right-of-way which generally means
between the curb and the bar ditch, telephone pole, or fence.
• Do not go into the street or center median to pick up litter.
• Don't go into deep bar ditches to retrieve trash. Only go into areas that you are physically
capable and that is safe. Bar ditches may contain animals that are unseen or sharp
objects that may cause injury. Keep clear of these areas.
