CED BUSINESS: Althea Staks said she had checked with six youth organizations
and let them know that patches are available for beautification projects.
Each organization said they had nothing planned last year for beautification.
She is hopeful they would be receptive this year for community beautification
projects.
Mr. Hogg mentioned many of the groups represent multi-cities, such as
Euless-Bedford-Hurst, and that we may have to market our programs to them as
well.
Discussion followed about the new city volunteer coordinator. Members
felt that could also be a good resource for B.E.E.
Tom Kindinger reported that Chevron was awarded Business Beautification
of the Month. The Chevron at Harwood and 157 was awaiting permission from
the Corporate office to place a sign at the location. Members said they
thought it was a very good choice.
Mr. Kindinger reported that an apartment complex would be chosen for
October 1991.
Rick Herold reported that the city has re-worked the beautification berm
with two goals in mind: to approve it's appearance while reducing
maintenance cost. Mr. Herold asked members to go by the berm as their time
permits.
Mr. Herold reported that Irene Rosecrans called and apologized for
missing the meeting but she would be in Colorado. He said Ms. Rosecrans
will be coming back to B.E.E. and would be a welcomed addition.
NEAT Bim: A discussion was held as to the direction of the B.E.E.
Discussion centered around the fact that thru changes in Keep Texas
Beautiful, the B.E.E. committee had ventured into other areas to keep pace.
With the small membership it seemed to tax all the members and forced a
decline in "beautification type projects". Following the discussion, Member
Staks made the following motion. . .
B.E.E. will set specific yearly goals (beginning in 1992) and
due to current membership numbers will concentrate it's efforts
on beautification and clean-up projects including Highway 10,
Main Street, Great Texas Trash-off. Monthly Beautification awards
also are to be continued.
Motion: Staks
Second: Kindinger
Passed Unanimously
Member Hogg made a motion to have February 1992 as recruitment month. Plans
will be discussed later, but it was mentioned that brining back old members
to share their success stories, have a dinner, and create enthusiasm. A
committee could be created latter. The motion read. . .
To make November 1992 as "B.E.E. New Member Month", with special
activities to create excitement.
Motion: Hogg
