Staff Report
To Tree Board
Date: September 13, 2016
Agenda Item No: III - C
Subject: Discuss next date and location for tree planting
Originated by: Kelly Cooper, Human Resources Director
Summary: Each year the board plants a tree in support of Arbor Day and the
Arbor Day Foundation. Texas Trees Foundation has shown support in
the past by donating trees and assisting in planting them. Last year,
we planted one tree at the Sonora Park and also handed out
seedlings. I have ordered 100 seedlings to be delivered hopefully in
time for the City's Trunk or Treat event. Currently staff is coordinating
with the KISD PTA to determine a location for a tree planting. Initial
discussions have been Patterson Elementary.
Once a location is found, staff recommends hosting a celebration with
the school and working with them to distribute the rest of the trees.

Agenda Item No: III - D
Subject: Discuss 2016 -2017 projects
Originated by: Kelly Cooper, Human Resources Director
Summary: In 2015, our Texas Forester had indicated an interest in assisting us
with a street tree inventory; this was postponed due to other priorities.
Staff recommends that we look for a date to schedule this in the
Spring and see if perhaps the Outdoor Club or Parks Board would
volunteer to assist with this project. Training will be provided and the
information gleaned by this survey will also be placed in our
Community Forestry Management Plan.
The board should also discuss any other objectives regarding Tree
initiatives at this time.
