Agenda Items Discussed
1. Call to Order
The meeting was called to order at 7:15 p.m. by Scott Martin. A quorum was present.
2. Minutes
Minutes from the October 2, 1995 KSB meeting were presented. Some discussion arose
on whether minutes or an "action item" list could be sent to the Board soon after the
meeting so no one would forget their assignment. Kevin Hugman said he would send an
action item list out. A motion was made by Bill Kemp, second by Tom Sanderlin, to
accept the minutes. The motion was approved by the members.
3. Administrative Comments
Kevin Hugman told the Board that the City of Southlake/CISD cable channel bulletin
board was now operational and that this would provide KSB a means of announcing its
meetings and events.
Scott Martin gave out a revised Waterscape plan and noted that the Newcomers Club had
approached him to request a project plan for the Wildscape in order to enter into their
competition for Club funding. The club is looking for high -profile, community benefit
projects that they could help sponsor. Scott noted that KSB had made the cut from 12
submittals and was in the final four. A decision would be made by the Newcomers Club
at their November meeting.
Scott also noted that KSB received $3,500 from the Chamber of Commerce Stake -Out.
Lisa Stokdyk asked if we had sent a "thank -you" note. She volunteered to write one to
the Chamber President and Board.
Kevin Hugman noted that in order for KSB to receive their 1995-96 funding from the City,
they would be required to sign a services contract with the City, similar to one done with
G.R.A.C.E. Kevin said he would draft it soon.
5. Treasurer's Report
There was no Treasurer's Report since Carol Lee Hamilton was at a special Park Board
meeting and could not attend the KSB meeting.

8. Committee Reports
Litter Committee: Tom Sanderlin presented a report on the following items that he Litter
Committee is working on:
✓ Adopt -A -Street: 21 groups picked up trash on October 21 with a total of 107
volunteers picking up 112 bags. There are 22 permanent Adopt -A -Street groups.
New groups are Southlake Women's Club, Stork Deliveries, Linda Pekowski and
Louise Wilson family.
The committee needs to order 13 new Adopt -A -Street signs. There are plans to
change the artwork and bid the signs. Tom requested authorization to spend up to
$1,500 for new signs. Lisa Stokdyk made a motion to approve this amount, Amy
Martin seconded. The motion was approved by all in attendance.
✓ Litter Barrels for Highways: The committee will place one barrel on SH 114 and
one on FM 1709 on a trial basis.
✓ Litter Ordinances: There was discussion concerning high grass and weeds and
inability of State to keep ROW mowed. Board members discussed ordinance
revisions, enforcement and voluntary compliance of businesses.
✓ Household Hazardous Waste: The Board discussed why Southlake did not
participate in the previous weekend's household hazardous waste pickup at TCJC
Northeast campus. Kevin Hugman gave reasons for City's decision to decline to
participate in previous collection efforts and encouraged members to voice their
concerns and desires to the City Council.
✓ Organizing a "Trash -Out" Day: Tom presented an idea for a two day trash -out
event whereby residents could put any items they wanted to dispose of out by the
street. The first day of the event, other residents could take anything they wanted
that was put out and on the second day, crews would pick up the remainder.
Beautification Committee: Scott Martin reported that work was done on Saturday,
November 4 to prepare the Wildscape site for planting. The next work day was scheduled
for Saturday, November 11. Bill Kemp noted that he would talk to Kim McAdams, Parks
and Recreation Director, about where to get water for the new plantings until a permanent
source could be installed.
Bill also reported that the committee is working on the Adopt -A -Tree program with Kim
McAdams; Scott Martin reported that he and Council members Sally Hall and Michael
Richarme met with Terra Land developers regarding ways to save trees when developing
a site. Scott was encouraged by the meeting and feels that KSB can become much more
active in this role.
Education/Commun4 Service: There was no report.
Membership/Special Events: Phyllis Catton reported that the Beautiful Business of the
Quarter award was given to the Texaco station at the corner of Randol Mill and FM 1709.
The owner was happy to receive the award and planned to notify the corporate office of
his businesses' recognition. Phyllis noted that the plaque would be presented to Texaco
after the sign is presented to the next business.
Amy Martin reported that the field trip with the Grapevine Corp of Engineers to Walnut
Grove park was very enjoyable and informative. Although attendance was light, those
who were able to make it felt it was worthwhile. Amy said she planned to work with the
Corp of Engineers to have a trash pick up and barbecue sometime along the lakeshore.
Amy noted that the November program would be Monday, November 13 at Redenta's
Garden in Colleyville. The speaker was going to present ideas on organic gardening.
