throughout the city removing tacks and all debris.

DISCUSSION OF OTHER ITEMS/CITIZEN INPUT
Ms. Tucker commented about the crews working on her house that did not clean up the
construction site - she was wondering how we will enforce the clean builder program. Is it the
builder or contractors responsibility to keep the area clean? Ms. Dunkelberg reminded the
commission about the Clean Builder forms that are available and should be handed out with all
construction permits.
Ms. Scoma commented about the trees that have been placed at the Library saying how nice
they looked.
Ms. Dunkelberg updated the Commission on the Keep Texas Beautiful Governor's Award Form.
Five individual awards will be judged on Saturday. The main concern about the new form is it
will be judged by several different groups. The books for documentation have gone from 30
pages to 10 pages. Next year there will be a new award available the "Bubba Award" which will
focus more on community outreach programs. Ms. Pultz thanked Ms. Dunkelberg and Mrs.
Sommermeyer for their time and effort spent on the KTB Governor's Award Application.
