was ordered last year. Sally said she asked Mr. Mundlin and Donna where the sign is;
no one knows where it is. The Chamber was to make the decision from the KSB's ten
recommended businesses. Mr. Murphy said he would pursue the search for the sign.

$1,665 will be the maximum funds for this project. Another $3,000 will be available for
KSB in the '95 Budget, which begins October 1. The Park Department crews will
provide the on -going maintenance for the project area. A drip irrigation system will be
provided. Wildflowers will the planted during the first phase of the Project; the trees
would go in later.
A motion was made to approve the funding for the Wildflower Project with all committee
members in favor.
Formation of Committees
The committee discussed the four committees and identified each's purpose and how each
fits in the Bylaws. There is a need to recruit members. It was suggested that there be
a separate committee just involved in recruiting membership. Perhaps one board member
from each committee could act as the "public relations" person and act as membership
recruiter. The SPIN groups could be involved. The committees were identified as:
1) Litter Control - purpose "A"
2) Beautification - purpose "B"
3) Education/Community Relations - purpose "C"
4) Environmental Protection - purpose "D" (also may include Special
Projects)
The committee members present indicated the committee which they are interested in
participating. Some of the members committed as follows:
1) Litter Control - Tom Sanderlin, Dick Johnston, Sally Hall
2) Beautification - Karen Morrisey
3) Education/Community Relations - Frank Dorer, Michelle Mellen
4) Environmental Protection - Carol Lee Hamilton
A motion was made to accept the above identified committees. The vote was unanimous
in favor.
5. Other Items Discussed
Adopt -A -Street
The committee discussed the procedure for adopting a mile within the city and some of
the arrangements to handle the pick up of trash and disposal of the bags. Kevin Hugman
said that the city has bags available for use by the groups and that the City will pick up
the bags. The committee mentioned that it would be good to get some total number of
bags that the groups pick up for reporting purposes.
A couple of new groups to adopt a portion of roadway are Ride -With -Pride and the
Southlake Lion's Club (pick up along SH 114).
Sally Hall commended the city's efforts in keeping the rights -of -ways mowed and the
areas within the City which were formerly trashed -out which are now cleaned up.
A motion was made to adjourn the meeting.
