The committee enjoyed tremendous success in reaching many important goals and objectives as well as addressing the many challenges we faced. As a result, we are very pleased to present our Annual Report detailing significant progress in many critical areas. In 2007, committee members, advisors and Citizen Foresters contributed 3,775 hours of expert/professional time as volunteers with a value of $ 284,223.00 toward improving our green infrastructure (details in reference section). To date, the committee raised $79,410.00 in donations and grants. In general, our region is beginning to understand that we are all responsible for the environment we leave for future generations. As a result, the “green” movement is gaining momentum. This bodes well for the future public support of urban forestry in Dallas as well as in our region. Recent scientific research shows that for every dollar ($1.00) spent on urban forestry, over five dollars ($5.00) in benefits are received by the public. As the public learns of the direct correlation between trees and our air quality, stormwater runoff, heat island effect and much more, support for urban forestry will continue to grow.

    Page 1 of 3 October 1, 2017 Edward H. Sebesta [email protected] Mayor Mike Rawlings Mayor and City Council City of Dallas 1500 Marilla St. Dallas, TX 75201 Dear Hon. Rawlings: The Task Force on Confederate monuments had this resolution regarding Fair Park. 2. Recognizing that Fair Park is a local, state, and national landmark, the Task Force recommends that the historic art and architecture of Fair Park which contains symbols of, or references to, the Confederate States of America or persons associated therewith, remain in place as a piece of the history of Texas as presented at Fair Park. However the Task Force recommends that appropriate signage, markers, digital tour guides, public art, educational programming, and/or exhibitions be added as necessary to provide the full context of the Civil War, Reconstruction, “Lost Cause” mythology, the “Jim Crow” era, and the creation of Fair Park for the 1936 Texas Centennial. Historical context should include reference to the many contributions of Mexicans, Tejanos and indigenous peoples made during the colonization of Texas, the Texas Revolution, and during and after the Mexican War leading to the 20th Century, to also include the participation or exclusion of various communities in those historic events. First, I would like to point out is that the Cultural Affairs Committee, in their meeting Oct. 12, 2017 were informed of this recommendation, but didn’t vote on it. Is the public to assume that this recommendation of the Task Force on Confederate Monuments has been dropped? I further would like to review this recommendation. I think it misses the point of Fair Park and the Hall of State which is the representation of a triumphal account of Texas history resulting in the white supremacist state of Texas in 1936.

    Biography: Council Member Philip T. Kingston

    Biography: Council Member Philip T. Kingston Being actively involved in District 14 neighborhood leadership roles since 2000, Philip Kingston was elected to the Dallas City Council on June 24, 2013, and is serving his 2nd term representing Council District 14, which includes Downtown Dallas, Uptown, historic East Dallas, Turtle Creek, and Oak Lawn. Mayor Mike Rawlings appointed Philip as Chair of the Ad Hoc Judicial Nominations Committee; Vice Chair of the Budget, Finance and Audit Committee and as a member of the Police & Fire Pension Board, Public Safety Committee, and Quality of Life and Environment Committee. Philip has taken on some of the city's toughest challenges. As the only freshman committee chair, he led a pioneering study of comprehensive Arts funding in Dallas. He led the effort to ensure Dallas citizens' access to Uber and other innovative car hire services. He fought to protect Dallas park land from gas drilling and helped pass an urban drilling ordinance that is now a national model. Philip is an advocate for city workers and for the reintegration of ex-offenders into our economy. For his successful efforts to pay city contractors a living wage, the local chapter of the AFL-CIO recognized him as the Champion of the Living Wage Ordinance. Working in collaboration with his former colleague Dwaine Caraway, he initiated a pioneering reentry program for ex-offender sanitation workers resulting in improved wages and employability for those workers. Philip is a strong advocate for LGBT constituents and is a two-time winner of the LGBT Task Force's Spirit of Equality Ally Award.
