V. REGULAR ITEMS
A. Discuss and consider upcoming events
1. Windshield survey form modification — D. Winters suggested that a small
committee be formed to help her modify the survey form to make it more
appropriate/useful for Kennedale. She will contact several of the other members
to meet. She asked L. Hoover if he would attend and he agreed. A tentative date
of December 6, 2018 at 9 am was selected for the meeting. L. Hoover will
reserve a meeting room at City Hall for the subcommittee to meet. M. Goza will
print out copies of the current form for the committee to refer to. L. Hoover will
bring survey printouts to the meeting.
2. The board all agreed to not have a regular meeting in December.
3. Discussion about Master Gardner topics/speakers for next year was tabled since
Wilda was not at the meeting.
4. The board did not do an Arbor Day event this year. Need to discuss Arbor Day
event for 2019 at the January meeting per M. Chandler.
5. L. Hoover asked if any of the KKB board members wanted to join the Park Board
members at the Christmas tree lighting event. The Park board is going to have a
table at the event to serve hot chocolate and J. Nevarez is working to get
Starbucks to serve coffee. Rotary Club is also serving hot chocolate. C. Guerra
mentioned that L. Sanders had served apple cider last year. D. Winters and L.
Hoover stated that this was done by the Methodist Church group that L. Sanders
is a part of, D. Winters stated that she would not be able to come to the
Christmas tree lighting event.
6. M. Chandler asked L. Hoover about the KKB banner. He stated that it would
have been good to have it at the Trunk or Treat event and that it could be used
at the Christmas tree lighting event also. L. Hoover agreed and stated that he
should also order one for Park Board so that they will be identifiable at events.
M. Chandler agreed that it would be good to have one for Park Board as well.
B. Discuss and consider Calendar of Events for 2019
13
1 The board selected tentative dates for events for the first part of 2019. The board
decided to not have a Bring It event for 2019. The event was not well attended
this year and the board feels that the event would be better attended if was held
every other year. Effort can be redirected this year to making sure Kennedale
citizens are aware of the free vouchers that they can get at City Hall to dump
hazardous items at the Fort Worth Bridge street site once a year and that they
are allowed to take a load once a year to the landfill on Dick Price once a year
also. Information can be put on the KKB Facebook page and on the City website.
2. The Arbor Day event date will be picked at the January meeting and Trunk or
Treat date is usually selected by the City/Library.
3. Discussed KKB goals and programs. Discussed Adopt A Spot program. Not sure
who is taking care of this now since Kelly left. M. Goza will follow up and try to get
more information. Annual reports should be received from each Adopt A Spot
participant. D. Winters stated that Kelly mailed out reminders letters last year.
C. Discuss and consider KKB budget.
1. Board discussed the budget. M. Goza noticed that monthly payments from simple
recycle had stopped after March 2018. She will follow up with the finance
department to see where the checks are going.

A. Update on diseased rose bush replacement project.
