City staff told KKB members that the city manager approved a wildflower meadow pilot area but has not finalized related facility moves or cleanup logistics. “Your wildflower meadow has been approved by our city manager,” Christian, identified as staff, said, adding the manager asked that the group mark out a limited area rather than the entire fence line; the manager “might give us a 100 by 50 or 50 by 50.”

Committee members discussed prepping the site, including removing grass, low cutting and possibly adding mulch to retain moisture. Christian said staff would “figure out a plan” and invited the committee to meet on a weekday that fits both schedules. Christian also reported that the city manager is considering relocating a tool shed and a shared tool shed with the library and planning department but has not decided on a new location: “He hasn't decided where it needs to go, but it's still in the works.”

Members reviewed Fall Sweep, the citywide cleanup tied to Keep Texas Beautiful reporting. The committee clarified dates for the event and reporting: “It November 3 through the sixteenth is that date. And that is where we are asking we're gonna ask all the citizens to clean up their homes, their streets,” Christian said. The group said they will push participation among ‘adopt-a-spot’ volunteers so numbers can be reported to Keep Texas Beautiful at year-end.

Christian also reported that signage for a local feature (the Bridal towns/habitat sign referenced in the meeting) has been reinstalled. There was no formal vote recorded on these staff updates; items described are approvals, ongoing deliberations and logistics requiring further coordination with the city manager and staff.
