D. PRESENTATION/DISCUSSION ITEMS
D.1 Discuss the Redesign of the Keep NRH Beautiful Logo
Sarah Green, Cultural Arts Program Coordinator for the NRH Parks Dept.was present to discuss the
redesign of the KNRHB logo. She asked what the Commission wanted the logo to represent. Brandon
Kelley suggested Interconnectedness with schools& residents, keeping the blue and green colors. Sarah
suggested that she revise the current logo rather than starting with something new. She will work up
some designs& ideas and will update the Commission at a future meeting. It was brought up by the
members that a mascot would be very useful in working with students, which could also be
incorporated in the new logo. Several suggestions for the mascot were made such as an armadillo,
because of the sculpture in the park, an owl, duck and bat. Members will consider options and bring
ideas to the next meeting.

D.2 Discuss the New Programs for Schools
Kristin James distributed a draft of the application form for the new JumpStart School Garden Grant.
Members reviewed the form. Kay Dansby suggested the commission encourage the use of native plants
and water conservation, including a list of plants to be included with the application when it is sent out.
It was suggested that a due date that is a little later in the school year would be better. The due date
will be changed to September 15, 2022. Ms.James will have the final draft of the application ready for
the July meeting.
D.3 Discuss Remaining Classes and Schedule for 2022
Kristin James brought up the subject of meetings and asked if there is a need to have a KNRHB meeting
every month, as there is not a lot on the agenda for some month's meetings. It was decided that this
will be discussed at the July meeting when the new members will be in attendance. Mrs.James gave an
update on the Photo Contest, which has had fewer entries than last year. She went through the below.
Ms.James encouraged Commission members to attend as many events as possible, as attendance has
been lower than expected. She asked for ideas for crafts/activities for the kids participating in the Trash
Bash. Members will report next month on ideas. Ms.James also explained what the "Go &Grow"
program is about. The company, Rooted In, creates boxes of plants that can be purchased by citizens
with a variety of items. Instructions and information about the plants are included. The North Richland
Hills City Hall will become a distribution site for the boxes, with members handing out pre-purchased
packages on a "drive by" basis.
