VI. DECISION ITEMS
A. Plan Garden Work
1. K. Michels asked if L. Sanders could put out some sort of survey on the KKB Facebook
page to see how many people might be interested in participating in a Saturday garden
work day. L. Sanders stated that she could do that. Report back for the poll results will
be included on the next agenda.
2. The board discussed rain barrels. This item will be placed on the next agenda for a final
decision.
3. Board agreed with R. Taylor that the Sage bushes should be replaced with Baby Gem
Japanese boxwood. R. Taylor will get this done with City staff as soon as weather
permits.
B. Plan Upcoming Events
1. D. Winters stated that the Master Gardener educational event may need to be moved to
a different time due to speakers not doing evening events anymore per Wilda. This item
will be included for further discussion on the next agenda.
2. D. Winters is still planning on being at the KidFish event to promote the KKB at an
informational table, may need another helper if W. Turner can't make it.
3. M. Goza brought up the idea of the KKB board sponsoring Concert in the Park as a way
to promote KKB and its programs. L. Sanders stated that since she is directly involved
with the Concert in the Park she would abstain from voting for or against this idea if the
board voted on it. L. Sanders stated that if KKB was a major sponsor they would get to
have a KKB banner on the stage and would get to have a representative on stage
introducing the acts and could tell the audience about all of the KKB programs while
doing that. KKB should be able to get major sponsor status by donating $500. The
money would go to pay for the sound and musical acts and the event is run by a
nonprofit group (the Mission Store in Kennedale). K. Michels asked if it was legal for
KKB to do this. L. Hoover stated that he could check with the city attorney and/or the city
manager. This item will be included for further discussion on the next agenda.
