1. Past Decisions – please respond by March 2, 2023
Although the city council cannot dwell on past councils' decisions and it must move forward, we would like to know if current council members have learned from past decisions, including those made by previous councils. From somewhat recent history, were each of the following three zoning case items a good decision or a poor decision, and why?
a) “UV” zoning on Kennedale Sublett Road just east of Kennedale Parkway?
b) “MF” zoning on Joplin Road just south of Kennedale Sublett Road?
c) denying “R4” zoning at the old Texas Raceway property (approximately 3830 S. New Hope Road)?
Did not respond.
2. Property Taxes – please respond by March 9, 2023
Kennedale is the seventh highest taxing city of the 41 cities in Tarrant County. What are some viable potential solutions to alleviate the tax burden on the citizens? Or is this just something that the citizens of Kennedale must learn to accept? Why?
Did not respond.
3. Moratorium – please respond by March 16, 2023
In January the council approved a temporary moratorium of applications for MF or TH zoning. Do you agree with the temporary moratorium? Why or why not?
Did not respond.
4. Removing Former City Manager George Campbell – please respond by March 23, 2023
In 2021 the city council removed former city manager George Campbell. Mr. Campbell's contract allowed him to receive the same year's additional salary even if he was removed mid-contract or if his contract was not renewed. Do you agree with the council's action? Why or why not?
