V. REGULAR ITEMS
A. Discuss 2019 projects
1. The Tree Board responsibilities and duties as written in Ordinance 484 were
reviewed.
2. M. Goza asked about the street tree inventory that had been planned in
2014/2015 in collaboration with the Texas Forester. It didn't appear that it
had ever been done. This information could be a valuable part of the
Community Forestry Management Plan that is required as part of being a
member of Tree City USA. M. Chandler stated that the Texas Forester had
cancelled the event and he didn't think it was ever completed. M. Goza will
follow up with the Tree City USA contact to find out more information about
doing something like this.
3. D. Winters stated that a tree care educational event would be a good thing to
plan and schedule. R. Taylor and L. Hoover will follow up with the
Treehugger company arborist to see if he would be interested in helping the
board present an educational event possibly in the Fall. This could be done
like the Master Gardner event or as an Open Space Learning event in
conjunction with the Library.
4. Board members are going to look at the web link for the Tree Campus K-12
program to see if they want to try out this program which basically involves
one of the schools signing up to participate in an Arbor Day event with the
City.
B. Discuss and consider 2019 Arbor Day event
1. This was not discussed. Will be discussed at next KKB meeting.
C. Discuss and consider next Tree board meeting date
1. L. Hoover stated that needed to have more than Tree Board meeting per
year. M. Chandler agreed. Next Tree board meeting will be held in June and
then every other month after that.
