CALL TO ORDER Mayor Johnson called the meeting to order at 5:40 p.m. II. WORK SESSION A. At this time City Council will continue interviewing advisory board applicants (previous interviews were held Thursday, October 19, Thursday, October 26, Thursday, November 2, Thursday, November 9, and Monday, November 13, 2017) This item was taken out of order, discussed after fl.C. There were no interviews or discussion at this time. B. Review of applicants and discussion of potential appointments to the Board of Adjustment/ Building Board of Appeals, Keep Kennedale Beautiful Commission, Kennedale Economic Development Corporation, Parks and Recreation Board, Planning and Zoning Commission, Library Advisory Board, Utility and Infrastructure Board, TownCenter Development District, and the Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone This item was taken out of order, discussed after 11.C and II.A. There was no discussion at this time. C. Discuss and provide direction regarding the City's long-range planning, goals, objectives, and strategic plan and a preferred process for updating such planning initiatives This item was taken out of order;discussed before II.A. Councilmember Gilley stated that the comprehensive plan covered 2009—2015, and an update was needed. Councilmember Lee and Mayor Pro Tern Joplin added that an advisory committee should be created. City Manager Campbell stated that he would prefer to delay any specific planning until a new Community Development Director was hired. City Attorney Wayne Olson stated that comprehensive plans were originally intended to guide zoning decisions, and although their purpose has since expanded, that all Council decisions on zoning still must still take into consideration the goals defined by the document. In response to a question from Mayor Johnson, Campbell stated that he felt it would be most effective to have the goals of a comprehensive plan in place first, so that they can shape the development of a strategic plan, which defines specific actions to achieve those goals. He added that he would suggest that Council agree upon a timeline and parameters for the project, and then request that the Planning & Zoning Commission facilitate the process. Councilmember Turner stated that he would like to consider using a consultant. Campbell stated he would support that. Councilmember Gilley added that he would consider a consultant 405 Municipal Drive, Kennedale, TX 76060 1 Telephone: 817-985-2100 1 Fax: 817-478-7169 and possibly a cost benefit analysis on development. Councilmember Lee concurred. In response to Councilmember Turner's question, Campbell stated that this update was not included in the adopted FY17-18 budget, but that staff could work to identify potential funding, and that the cost would depend upon the scope of the project and what portions were completed by staff. He added that the more dramatic the changes to the plan are, the more time it would take to get adequate public input. Campbell also stated that there is currently quite a lot of vacant land that is primed for growth, but the community seemed to have conflicting opinions about the type of development that was desirable. He added that the City is deficient in parks; and that decisions need to be made about the ratio of single- vs. multi-family housing and the type and appearance of development best suited to Kennedale Parkway. Councilmember Turner stated that he did not believe five to ten years was long enough for developments of that magnitude. Campbell responded that shorter plans recognize that cities must be dynamic by adapting to changing environments. Councilmember Gilley agreed, adding that a shorter plan is easier to modify and that keeping pace with a rapidly changing population and environment is a challenge, but he felt that the aim should be moving the community in the direction that the current residents hope for, while offering direction and oversight. Mayor Johnson agreed that a plan should be flexible and that some goals will, by their nature, extend beyond that five- or ten-year mark. He added the importance of acknowledging the successes of the current plan during this process, including additional parks and restaurants. There was some discussion about the legal importance of any adopted plan or zoning not specifically deterring the development of multi-family housing. Campbell stated that staff would aim for gathering an advisory committee after the start of the year. There was some discussion about the difficulty of keeping residents engaged and Councilmember Gilley proposed an online survey as a part of the planning. Mayor Johnson added that a live town hall meeting via social media or an online forum might be other options. Councilmember Turner stated the importance of engaging residents from all areas of the city, and in keeping residents consistently engaged, not just during processes like this one. D. Discussion of items on regular agenda There was no discussion at this time. III. REGULAR SESSION Mayor Johnson opened the Regular Session at 7:03 p.m. IV.

Originated by: Larry Hoover, Streets and Parks Supervisor III.

In October 2016, staff recommended, and City Council consequently approved, that the board be reduced to five members, with a quorum requirement of three. During the recent Advisory Board application process, there were three new applicants for the Parks Board, and only space for one. At the request of Council, Ordinance 639, amending the Parks Board bylaws by expanding the membership to seven, is now presented for your consideration. IV. Fiscal Impact Summary: V.
