Keep Angleton Beautiful reviewed action items from its adopted 2025–26 strategic plan at the June meeting, directing staff to develop an annual marketing schedule, formalize volunteer opportunities and adopt-a-spot programming, and standardize the yard- and business-of-the-month nomination process.
Jason, Keep Angleton Beautiful staff member, opened the discussion by stressing continuity: “I just wanna make sure that we're, staying committed to that, and some of the initiatives that we have put in place,” he said. Staff outlined planned deliverables, including a marketing calendar for when postcards and social-media posts will run, a resource inventory to catalog supplies (for example, litter grabbers and buckets), and a board-committee structure to lead initiatives.
Board members discussed specifics for the yard-and-business recognition program. Staff proposed standard nomination forms that would capture address, nominator contact information and a photo to reduce follow-up work. The board reviewed zone-based coverage to ensure nominations represent different parts of Angleton and said members would rotate responsibility for checking nominations and coordinating photo opportunities. Members also discussed a possible seasonal or “spirit” award for holiday decorations in November–December.
Other plan items discussed included a maintenance calendar for downtown planters, development of butterfly weigh-station workshops to explain seed-ball contents and pollinator-friendly planting, and a proposal to collaborate with code enforcement to create a beautification task force. Staff noted an operational deadline tied to the city council agenda: addresses for July recognition nominations should be submitted by July 1 so staff can place items on the July council agenda.
The board assigned follow-up work to staff to create the nomination form and marketing schedule and asked members to volunteer for month-by-month recognition duties; no formal votes were recorded on these items.
