BBQ Cook-Off event in partnership with Kennedale Speedway Park, Kidfish and Bark in the Park held at
Sonora Park, the 911 Memorial Commemoration at TownCenter Plaza, the Veterans Day Memorial also hosted

at TownCenter Plaza, the annual Halloween Truck or Treat event held in TownCenter, and the Juneteenth

Parade. We had a great turn out for each event and our citizens have given us lots of positive feedback. These
community events and possibly even more are planned for FY 2023-2024.

In conclusion, I wish to thank each member of the City of Kennedale team. Department directors and

administrative staff spent many hours meeting and providing feedback to complete this year’s proposed
budget. I especially want to thank Finance Director Jonathan Horton and his office for their

dedicated efforts completing this budget. The City of Kennedale has achieved great things during the

current fiscal year. With the leadership of the city council and the support of our citizens, we will
continue taking steps in the right direction toward providing outstanding service efficiently.

I would like to thank the members of the city council for your continued support and the opportunity to
serve as your City Manager. I am looking forward to continuing to manage our great city and serving our

citizens. I respectfully submit this budget for consideration.

Sincerely,

Darrell Hull, City Manager
City of Kennedale, Texas
