A. Discuss and consider scheduling a work day September 7th.
1. Board members scheduled a work day to clean up Town Center Plaza for the Legion
Riders 9/11 Memorial event. Board members will meet at 8 am on the 701
.
B. Discuss and consider Fall Sweep event.
1. Board members decided that they want to have a regular cleanup event rather than
go out to the landfill with the Public Works department. They will still have the event
on October 19'" the same day as the Public Works event at the landfill. The events
can be advertised together as a citywide cleanup day. M. Goza will email Adopt A
Spot participants requesting that they participate by cleaning their adopted areas
that day and report the amount of trash picked up to be included in the totals
reported to Keep Texas Beautiful. The board discussed possibly focusing on
Kennedale Parkway for the trash pickup. Board members will meet at Town Center
Plaza at 8:30 am. The event will run from 9 am to 11am. The board decided to do an
Arbor Day event later sometime in November.
C. Discuss and consider Trunk or Treat event.
1. Discussed recent developments. YAC not having the event at Library this year due
to various conflicts. YAC may consider participating in the Fall Fun Festival trunk or
treat event that Fellowship Academy is hosting. Several board members were not
that interested in attending the event. Since several board members were not at the
meeting the board decided to table the decision until the next meeting. The deadline
to apply to participate is October 12'h.
D. Discuss and consider Butterfly Garden Project and Coker Hill Rock.
1. Board members stated that there is a timeline to remove the rock due to
development of the property. Rock needs to be removed before the 20Ih. L. Hoover
will look at the rock with R. Taylor to determine if it can be moved.

the library roof downspouts. K. Michels checked and there are no city ordinances
