VI. DECISION ITEMS
A. Review Adopt A Spot report for 2019
1. Discussed Burger Box area. They have not turned in their 2019 data and the area didn't
look good during the Windshield survey.
2. Discussed Emerald Hills area and possibly moving sign to make it shorter and more
manageable for them; they do not usually pick up trash over near Peachtree complex
only along the cemetery boundary. That area could be adopted out to someone else if the
sign was moved.
3. Discussed Hexpol not turning in their 2019 data. They may not want to participate
anymore since the employee running it doesn't work there anymore.
4. Discussed encouraging people to adopt parts of North Rd in the future if they don't have
a spot in mind.
B. Review 2020 Calendar and set event dates

back yet as to what date they will be scheduled for. Submitted two Saturday dates in
September and two in October.
2. Discussed the Master Gardner educational event. Wilda working on setting up speakers
for the event. Date tentatively set for May 12'h. Have a very brief meeting and then the
event during the normal meeting time. Ideas were discussed for topics. Rain barrels,
junior master gardeners, native Texas plants, composting, oak wilt. D. Winters suggested
that the board try to get free seeds to give out at the educational event M Goza
suggested that the budget could be used to buy seeds instead of vouchers this year.
Board members all liked the idea of handing out seeds at the event.
3. Discussed what City, Rotary or Chamber events the board might want to attend to
promote the KKB commission. L. Sanders is going to do some research about possibly
promoting KKB with kids at KISD and doing another PowerPoint at a Chamber or Rotary
meeting. L. Sanders mentioned that KKB appearances at the city council meetings in the
past were helpful in making people aware of the KKB. This item will be put on the next
agenda for continued discussion.
