III. Summary:
Staff met with Robert Berndt, REM Environmental Specialist with Tarrant County and Joe LaBarbera,
with the Bluebonnet Resource Conservation and Development a 501 (c)(3) organization. The
Bluebonnet RC&D receives funding to perform supplemental environmental projects within a 10
county area. The Supplemental Environment Program (SEP) funds are dedicated to a specific
county/watershed/air shed and a particular type of environmental activity. The funds are obtained from
entities who received fines to resolve a legal enforcement action undertaken by the Texas
Commission for Environmental Quality (TCEQ). The City of Kennedale was approached by
Bluebonnet RC&D wishing to partner with us on a tire collection program. The Bluebonnet RC&D will
provide a grant to pay for the trailer to collect, haul off and then process tires. Generally, it is about
$3.50 per tire to provide this service. Bluebonnet RC&D is providing this to the residents of Kennedale
for free. We will collect passenger car, pick-up truck tires, and small machinery tires. Our only
obligation is to count the number of tires we receive. Public Works and Utility Billing are going to offer
the tire drop off (at no cost to residents) at the landfill while providing the bulky trash and brush drop
off. There will be no requirement for extra volunteers on our part. This is a one time grant for this year
only. Future grants will depend on the availability of grant funds.
The Board should discuss additional items related to this event including:
1. Marketing
2. Volunteers
3. Layout
4. Other items that may come up

weather is hot. The start time can be adjusted as the weather cools. We might consider advertising
this on our website and Facebook page to see if we can others in the community interested in helping.

Agenda Item No: REGULAR ITEMS - D.
I. Subject:
Discuss and consider action necessary for the Arbor Day and Trunk or Treat event October 21, 2017
II. Originated by:
Kelly Cooper, Director of Human Resources
III. Summary:
Last month the board determined to schedule the Arbor Day event the same Saturday as the Trunk or
Treat event October 21, 2017. With regard to the Arbor Day event, staff has contacted Fellowship
Academy and they are very happy to participate. Monica Collier is working now to find a suitable
location for a tree. Staff has also contacted the Texas Tree Foundation and Laurie has contacted TXU
for a donation. I have not heard from TXU, however, Texas Tree Foundation is willing to provide
seedlings at$4.00 per seedlings ($400.00) and a tree to plant would also cost (estimate at
$150.00) depending on the selected tree type and size. The board has plenty of money in the budget
to make the purchases if the board is unable to secure a donations from TXU. The board should also
consider if you would like to provide a lunch cook out at the school or other festive activities? I have
ordered a rock from Don't Rocks ($180.00) and hopefully that will be ready for the event. The potential
cost for the event is ($730.00).
With regard to the Trunk or Treat event, we will need board members to sit at the table, hand out
candy and trees.
