3. Discuss and Vote on Meeting Schedule for Summer 2016: Chairperson Kelley-Schwoch began the discussion regarding the meeting schedule for summer

2016. She introduced the request of not meeting in July and August noting that quorum was almost not met for the current meeting.

Six (6) were in favor of the July and August meetings being cancelled and resumed in September; one (1) abstained from voting.

Chairperson Kelley-Schwoch reminded the Beautification Committee that the theme of the

4. Nominate a Business Beautification Award Candidate for use in August 2016: Because Board member Flores had not contacted anyone on the Board regarding his

6. Finalize Details for the 2016 Keep Texas Waterways Clean Event to be held on June

11, 2016: SL Hamilton told the Board that he would not be in town and therefore, not available to attend

the June 11th event. He informed the Board that Park Manager, David Codispoti, would be helping in his place. He encouraged Board members to attend this event since it was also on the Board’s project list. Several of the Board members requested that SL Hamilton email them digital copies of the 2016 Keep Texas Waterways Clean Event flyer; he said he would.
