PLANS FOR FALL EDUCATIONAL SEMINAR
Patsy Tucker reported that the three commission members who attended the June 6,
workshop chose September 23, as the fall seminar date. Commission members
reviewed the list of seminar topics they came up with at the May 16, meeting and
decided the fall seminar would be on water gardens/ponds. A motion was made by
Doris Batenhorst that a Fall Seminar be held at the Environmental Services building
early afternoon on September 23, and that Scott Wood will be asked to do a
presentation on ponds. Second by Delores Pultz. Motion passed.
Peggy Weatherred will handle the publicity for the event by placing seminar information
in the City Newsletter, contacting area homeowner's associations, social organizations,
and the Star-Telegram. Peggy Weatherred will also contact Barnes and Nobles to see
if they will advertise for the seminar and offer books on ponds and pond building.
4.
REVIEW OF BY-LAWS REGARDING ATTENDANCE POLICY
Commission members were each given a copy of the By-Laws, which members then
discussed. Patsy Tucker encouraged members to try to attend each of the regularly
scheduled meetings. Commission members discussed taking off either the month of
July or August due to vacations, but decided to continue meeting in order to prepare for
the fall seminar. Commission members did decide, however, to only have workshops
when they are vital.
Patsy Tucker announced that commission member Theresa Hampton has resigned due
to an increasingly busy work schedule. Theresa Hampton will, however, continue to be
the Yard-of-the-Month judge for her area.
5.
CITIZEN INPUT
Debbie York announced that there are two new Adopt-A-Spot volunteers. Gary and
Sonja Starnes adopted the Southeast edge of Adventure World along Starnes and a
local Girl Scout-troop has adopted the area on Hightower Rd. across from the Tom
Thumb grocery store.
Commission members cancelled the workshop that had been scheduled for July 5.
