Frates, Parks & Recreation Director DATE: February 21, 2012 SUBJECT: 2012 Beautification Theme Ing 1111' 1997 In previous years the Beautification Committee selected a theme to assist with the enhancement of Kenai's beautification efforts. The thought was a theme would help build pride and foster community wide participation in City beautification. One possibility for consideration is to resurrect a previous program utilizing landscape barrels, called Barrels of Blooms. This theme could somehow be incorporated into our Yard of the Week program and donated prizes awarded to best looking barrels. Does the Committee want to establish a summer theme for 2012? Let's discuss the above mentioned theme or any others you may have.
