Consider action to cancel the December 22, 2017 KKB meeting The Board discussed this item and determined that they would not have any additional business to take care of in December and it would be best to cancel the meeting. Motion To approve canceling the December meeting as presented; Action Approve, Moved by Laurie Sanders, Seconded By Dora Ann Markle. Motions Passes Unanimously G. Consider action to schedule another demonstration garden work day The Board discussed the need to put mulch down on the garden but felt like November and December were too busy to schedule another work day. Laurie suggested that if those who work in the garden had the mulch in bags laid out in the garden, they could open and spread it. It was the carrying of the mulch that was the issue. Darlene suggested that she check prices for the organic shredded hardwood mulch. Michael agreed to pick up the mulch and carry it to the garden for the Wednesday work group. Darlene thought we would need 25-30 bags. The Board determined to place this item on the agenda for discussion in January. No Action was needed for this item. VI. Reports /Announcements A.

Subject: Discuss and consider action to complete the windshield survey II. Originated by: Kelly Cooper, Director of Human Resources III. Summary: Each year KKB is expected to complete a windshield survey to determine the cleanliness of the community and areas that need improvement. This is not scientific but a subjective review of various areas to determine the amount of litter and possible clean-up. The survey form is attached. We need approximately four to six individuals to drive the city, looking at specific locations and rating those locations based on what you see. The rating sheets will be submitted to Kelly Cooper the staff liaison to compile and report the findings. Generally the Board tries to complete this survey in January or February of each year. IV.

Summary: This item gives the Board an opportunity to discuss the demonstration garden and what if any action should be taken at this time.

Subject: Discuss and consider action necessary to replace plant identifier sign in demonstration garden II. Originated by: Kelly Cooper, Director of Human Resources III. Summary: It was brought to our attention by our master gardener, Wilda Turner that one of the plant identifier signs has the wrong plant listed. To correct the error a new sign will need to be ordered and will cost approximately $200.00 to replace. The quote provided is from the same company that provided the original signs. It will take 20 days to deliver after approval of the proof. KKB Board does have money in the budget to cover this expense. Once received, staff will work with Parks/Streets department to have the Identifier replaced. The alternative would be to pull the identifier out, leaving the plant un-identified. IV.
