          COMMANDER GRASS CAME TO OUR DEPARTMENT IN 2006 WITH AN ALREADY DISTINGUISHED RECORD OF SERVICE. HE HAD SERVED NINE YEARS AS A SECURITY POLICEMAN IN THE UNITED STATES AIR FORCE AND BUILT A BROAD LAW ENFORCEMENT CAREER IN ARIZONA, SERVING IN PATROL, SWAT, FIELD TRAINING, COMMUNITY POLICING, AND CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS. FROM THE MOMENT HE JOINED GEORGETOWN, HE CONTINUED TO DISTINGUISH HIMSELF THROUGH COURAGE, PROFESSIONALISM, AND THE WILLINGNESS TO TAKE ON DIFFICULT ASSIGNMENTS. AS A TRAFFIC OFFICER, AN ADVANCED ACCIDENT INVESTIGATOR, HE RESPONDED TO MANY OF OUR CITY'S MOST SERIOUS COLLISIONS. IN 2009, WHILE TRAVELING TO AN OFF DUTY ASSIGNMENT, HE PULLED A SUN CITY RESIDENT FROM A SUBMERGED VEHICLE. FOR THAT EXTRAORDINARY ACT OF COURAGE, HE RECEIVED THE STATE OF TEXAS MEDAL OF VALOR, WHICH IS THE STATE'S HIGHEST AWARD. THROUGHOUT HIS GEORGETOWN CAREER, COMMANDER GRASS HAS SERVED AT EVERY LEVEL OF LEADERSHIP. HE WAS PROMOTED TO SERGEANT IN 2012, LIEUTENANT IN 2018 AND COMMANDER IN 2022. ALONG THE WAY, HE STRENGTHENED OUR FATALITY RESPONSE, CREATED THE DEPARTMENT'S DRONE PROGRAM, AND HELPED RELAUNCH BOTH OUR LAKE PATROL AND BICYCLE UNITS. TODAY, HE OVERSEES FIELD OPERATIONS INCLUDING PATROL, K9 CRISIS INTERVENTION, TRAFFIC AND ANIMAL CONTROL. HE HAS ALSO CONTRIBUTED TO OUR DIVE TEAM FLEET AND RADIO PROGRAMS, FITNESS FACILITY AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR DEPARTMENT'S VISION, MISSION AND CORE VALUES. HIS RECORD OF RECOGNITION SPEAKS FOR ITSELF. OFFICER OF THE YEAR. TWICE. SUPERVISOR OF THE YEAR TWICE FOR LIFE SAVING MEDALS AND GRADUATION FROM BOTH THE FBI NATIONAL ACADEMY AND THE LEADERSHIP COMMAND COLLEGE. BUT AWARDS AND TITLES ONLY TELL PART OF THE STORY. COMMANDER GRASS. HIS TRUE LEGACY IS FOUND IN THE PROGRAMS HE HAS BUILT, THE OFFICERS HE HAS MENTORED, AND THE LIVES HE HAS SAVED AND THE COMMUNITY HAS. HE HAS SERVED WITH HONOR COMMANDER GRASS ON BEHALF OF THE GEORGETOWN POLICE DEPARTMENT AND A GRATEFUL COMMUNITY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR 20 YEARS OF EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE TO OUR CITY AND CONGRATULATIONS ON THIS REMARKABLE MILESTONE. 
          ONE MORE. I WILL NOW ASK CHIEF SHELL TO COME UP TO RECOGNIZE CARL BOATWRIGHT FOR 30 YEARS OF SERVICE. GOOD EVENING. IT'S AN HONOR TO RECOGNIZE CARL BOATWRIGHT.

THROUGHOUT HIS CAREER HERE, HE PROMOTED TO DRIVER ENGINEER IN 1980 1997, FIRE LIEUTENANT IN 1999, AND FIRE CAPTAIN IN 2007, AND IN 2010, HE PROMOTED TO HIS LATEST RANK OF BATTALION CHIEF, WHERE HE SERVES AS THE CHIEF OF TRAINING.

          [00:10:11]
THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE. THANK YOU ALL AGAIN TO EVERYONE FOR YOUR YEARS OF SERVICE. THANK YOU. YES. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR COMING. APPRECIATE EVERYBODY. ALL RIGHT. AMANDA, I 
          [1.B Arts and Culture Strategic Plan & Economic Impact Study]
BELIEVE YOU'RE UP. OKAY. OKAY. GOOD AFTERNOON. THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO I HAVEN'T PRESENTED IN FRONT OF BEFORE, I'M AMANDA STILL, ARTS AND CULTURE PROGRAM MANAGER. 
          AND I'M EXCITED TO SHARE HOW FAR WE'VE COME SINCE 2019 WHEN I FIRST STARTED WORKING FOR THE CITY, BUT THEN HOW FAR WE'VE COME SINCE THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE ARTS AND CULTURE BOARD, THE GEORGETOWN ARTS CENTER, AND OUR TEXAS COMMISSION ON THE ARTS CULTURAL DISTRICT. AND MANY OF YOU MAY NOT KNOW, BUT I'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN THE ARTS COMMUNITY SINCE 2011 WHEN I SERVED ON THE ARTS AND CULTURE BOARD WAY BEFORE I STARTED WORKING FOR THE CITY IN 2019, I WAS A COMMERCIAL ART GALLERY OWNER. AND THEN ALSO THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR SUPPORT UP HERE ON COUNCIL WHO HAVE BEEN HERE TO SUPPORT THE ARTS AND CULTURE PROGRAM OVER THE YEARS AS WE HAVE GROWN. AND AGAIN, I'M REALLY EXCITED TO SHARE SHARE ALL OF THAT GROWTH. SO OUR AGENDA TODAY, I'M GOING TO SHARE A LITTLE BIT, A BIT MORE ABOUT THE HISTORY, A CURRENT OVERVIEW OF OUR PROGRAM AND ITS ECONOMIC IMPACT, AND HOW THAT ECONOMIC IMPACT STUDY INFORMED OUR STRATEGIC PLAN AND THE NEXT STEPS, WHICH INVOLVES OUR CULTURAL FACILITY STUDY AND THEN FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES. SO THE ARTS AND CULTURE BOARD WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2008 PRIMARILY TO ACTIVELY PURSUE THE PLACEMENT OF PUBLIC ART AND ADMINISTRATIVE, THE ARTS AND CULTURE GRANTS FROM THE HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAX. BUT AT THE TIME, THERE WERE ONLY VOLUNTEERS IN THE LIBRARY DIRECTOR TO STEWARD BOARD INITIATIVES UNTIL 2018, WHEN A DEDICATED ARTS AND CULTURE, PART TIME ARTS AND CULTURE COORDINATOR WAS ADDED AND THEN THE PROGRAM WAS ESTABLISHED. IT TOOK ALMOST FOUR YEARS FOR THE COORDINATOR POSITION TO BECOME FULL TIME, AND THEN IN 2024, WE WERE ABLE TO ADD TWO PART TIME STAFF TO THE ART CENTER. AND THEN JUST LAST YEAR, IN 2025, ONE OF THOSE PART TIME STAFF WAS PROMOTED TO ARTS AND CULTURE COORDINATOR. AND I WAS ARTS AND CULTURE PROGRAM MANAGER. AND YOU CAN SEE US THERE. AND NOW WE ARE A PASSIONATE TEAM OF STAFF THAT MAKE UP THE PROGRAM WITH TWO FULL TIME PEOPLE AND TWO PART TIME STAFF AT THE ART CENTER. SO WHEN STAFF WAS FIRST HIRED TO STEWARD THE ARTS AND CULTURE PROGRAM, THERE WERE ONLY TWO MURALS, AND THAT WAS IN 2018. THE SCULPTURE TOUR BEGAN IN 2009 AS INVITATIONAL ONLY AND HAS GROWN. BUT EVEN THEN, AT 20 2018, THERE WERE ONLY ABOUT 8 TO 10 SCULPTURES ON THE SCULPTURE TOUR, AND NOW WE HAVE 22 MURALS, 15 TEMPORARY SCULPTURES WHICH ARE THE SCULPTURE TOUR SCULPTURES, 15 PERMANENT SCULPTURES, AND THEN FOUR UTILITY BOX PIECES OF ARTWORK. THERE'S JUST ANOTHER ONE OF OUR VERY LARGE SCALE MURALS. FOR EXAMPLE. AND THEN THERE ON THE RIGHT ARE TWO TWO, SOME OF OUR FAVORITES FROM THE SCULPTURE TOUR THAT CHANGE OUT EVERY YEAR. THEY WERE AWARD WINNERS. AND THEN THE BUTTERFLY WAS A PAST AWARD WINNER THAT WE ENDED UP PURCHASING AS A PIECE OF PERMANENT ART. SO OUR MISSION, SO CITY OF GEORGETOWN ARTS AND CULTURE, WE ENHANCE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR RESIDENTS AND VISITORS, PROMOTE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND CULTURAL TOURISM. WE ARE FOSTERING BUSINESS AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND FACILITATING THAT CULTURAL TOURISM THROUGH PUBLIC ART PROGRAMING AND COLLABORATIVE ARTS AND CULTURE EVENTS. THE ARTS AND CULTURE BOARD HAS A BIG VISION. THEY'VE ALWAYS BELIEVED VIBRANT ARTS AND ARTS AND CULTURE OFFERINGS ARE GOOD FOR QUALITY OF LIFE, ATTRACT VISITORS AND WILL HELP US BECOME A NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED ARTS DESTINATION BY 2030, WHICH IS GETTING HERE VERY QUICKLY. AND THEN ANOTHER GREAT ASSET 
          [00:15:02]
FOR THE PROGRAM IS OUR CULTURAL DISTRICT DESIGNATION WITH THE TEXAS COMMISSION ON THE ARTS. 
          THAT DESIGNATION WAS AWARDED TO US IN 2013 AS A RESULT OF THE FIRST STRATEGIC PLAN THAT THE ARTS AND CULTURE BOARD PUT TOGETHER IN 2013, AND THE ADDITION OF AN ART CENTER FACILITY IN THE DOWNTOWN, THE DESIGNATION WAS WAS AWARDED BECAUSE OF ALL OF THE CULTURAL ASSETS AND CULTURAL ARTS AND CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS THAT GEORGETOWN HAS. AND THEN WITH THE ADDITION OF THE ART CENTER AS THE VISUAL ARTS REPRESENTATION. AT THE TIME, THERE HAD NOT BEEN A FACILITY REPRESENTING THE VISUAL ARTS. AND SO ALL OF THOSE FACTORS CAME TOGETHER TO GET US A DESIGNATION AS A CULTURAL DISTRICT FOR THE STATE OF TEXAS AND CULTURAL DISTRICTS. THEY FOCUS ON LEVERAGING ARTS AND CULTURE AS A VEHICLE FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND TOURISM. AND GEORGETOWN HAS ALSO RECEIVED SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT FROM TCA CULTURAL DISTRICT GRANTS. SO UNDER OUR CULTURAL DISTRICT FRAMEWORK, WE'VE BUILT A REALLY GREAT ECONOMIC IMPACT SO FAR. ART CENTER MANAGEMENT, THE ARTS AND CULTURE PROGRAM TOOK OVER ART CENTER MANAGEMENT IN 2024, BUT IT WAS NOT ALWAYS UNDER THE CITY'S ARTS AND CULTURE PROGRAM. IN 2013, THERE WAS NOT ARTS STAFF TO MANAGE AN ARTS FACILITY, SO THE CITY CONTRACTED WITH A NONPROFIT TO MANAGE THE ART CENTER. THE FULL TIME STAFF WAS NOT MADE WELL. STAFF WAS NOT MADE FULL TIME UNTIL LATE 2021. AND THEN IN 2024, ARTS AND CULTURE PROGRAM WAS ABLE TO TAKE OVER MANAGEMENT BECAUSE AT THE ESTABLISHMENT OF IT, THE ARTS AND CULTURE BOARD IN 2013 HAD ALWAYS ENVISIONED THE GEORGETOWN ARTS CENTER AS BEING THE HUB OF THE CULTURAL DISTRICT. SO WHEN THE PROGRAM TOOK OVER MANAGEMENT IN 2024, IT REALLY WAS A GAME CHANGER. IT'S BEEN ABLE TO REALLY HELP US GENERATE REVENUE FOR THE PROGRAM AND DEMONSTRATE THE ECONOMIC IMPACT THAT ARTS, THE ARTS PRODUCTS CAN GENERATE. IT'S. WE FREQUENTLY MAKE SALES ARTWORK SALES AROUND $1,000, AND IT'S NOT UNHEARD OF TO SELL ART PIECES FOR $2,500 EACH. HOWEVER, WE ALSO OFFER AFFORDABLE AND ACCESSIBLE OPTIONS, ALL VERY, VERY PRICE POINTS. AND THEN IN 2024, SALES WERE 225% HIGHER THAN UNDER PREVIOUS MANAGEMENT IN 2023. AND WE'RE ALSO ABLE TO MONETIZE ALL THE SPACES AND THE SQUARE FOOTAGE THAT THE ART CENTER HAS TO OFFER. EVEN THOUGH WE ARE NOT ABLE TO UTILIZE THE SECOND FLOOR LIKE WE WANT TO. AND WHEN THE ART CENTER WAS FIRST RENOVATED IN 2013, IT WAS REALLY JUST THE SECOND FLOOR THAT WAS ACCESSIBLE BECAUSE THERE WAS NO ELEVATOR AND JUST THE OLD STAIRS ON THE EXTERIOR OF THE BUILDING. BUT WE ARE ABLE TO LEASE TWO OF THE OLD OFFICES UPSTAIRS TO ARTISTS, AND THAT BRINGS IN 360 A MONTH, WHICH WE COULD INCREASE WITH AN EXPANDED FACILITY. WE CONTRACT WITH AN ART SCHOOL TO OFFER WEEKLY CLASSES TO KIDS, AND THEN SPRING SCHOOL, BREAK CAMPS AND SUMMER CAMPS. AND THAT'S A REVENUE SHARING AGREEMENT. AND THAT BRINGS IN ABOUT 1500 TO 2000 A MONTH. AND THEN WE'RE ALSO DEVELOPING OUR OWN WORKSHOPS AND MASTER CLASSES THROUGH THE ARTS AND CULTURE PROGRAM. AND SO WITH THIS FACILITY, WHAT'S EXCITING IS THAT OUR CULTURAL FACILITY STUDY IS HELPING US DRILL DOWN FURTHER ON REVENUE GENERATING BY LEVERAGING EVERY BIT OF THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE ART CENTER THAT WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO USE UP TO THIS POINT FOR PROGRAM GROWTH AND ADDITIONAL INCOME STREAMS, AS WELL AS A PRESERVATION PLAN FOR THIS HISTORIC BUILDING. WE ARE, AS ENVISIONED IN THE VERY BEGINNING, POSITIONING THE ART CENTER AS A DESTINATION. OUR EXHIBIT PROGRAM HAS REALLY TAKEN OFF. IT'S JUST GROWN OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS, AND OUR 2027 EXHIBIT SEASON IS GOING TO BE A BLOCKBUSTER SEASON WITH WITH WELL-KNOWN ARTISTS FROM ALL OVER THE STATE. AND THAT THAT SELECTION PROCESS IS A VERY INTRICATE JURY PROCESS THAT OUR EXHIBIT SUBCOMMITTEE UNDERTAKES. AND THEY SELECT THE ENTIRE ANNUAL SEASON A YEAR IN ADVANCE. AND THEY'RE ALL VISUAL ARTISTS PRACTICING VISUAL ARTISTS. WE PUT OUT A CALL FOR EXHIBIT PROPOSALS ONCE A YEAR. SO 2028 EXHIBIT SEASON. THOSE PROPOSALS CALL FOR PROPOSALS WILL OPEN JANUARY AND FEBRUARY. AND THEN WE, THE EXHIBIT COMMITTEE, WILL SELECT THE ARTISTS FOR 2028 BY THE END OF THE SPRING. AND WE FREQUENTLY HAVE OVER 50 ARTISTS SUBMIT TO EXHIBIT AT THE ART CENTER, WHERE WE ONLY ARE ABLE TO 
          [00:20:07]
ACCOMMODATE NINE. AND THEN OUR SMALL WORKS JURIED EXHIBITION. AND SO WE ARE ALSO WE GENERATE APPLICATION FEES FOR THAT. SO THAT'S ANOTHER WAY WE GENERATE INCOME IN WHATEVER WAY THAT WE CAN. AND THEN I'M ALSO I'M ALSO EXCITED ABOUT POINTING TO EXAMPLES OF OTHER COMMUNITIES THAT USE ART CENTERS AS DESTINATIONS. AND I WAS ABLE TO ATTEND LAST THURSDAY, THE OPENING OF THE PICASSO EXHIBIT IN ROUND ROCK IN THEIR HUGE NEW ART CENTER. AND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ATTENDED. AND IT WAS PHENOMENAL. AND IT WAS JUST REALLY EXCITING TO ME TO SEE THE POSSIBILITY OF WHAT AN ART CENTER CAN DO IN BRINGING PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE STATE TO ATTEND, AND WE ARE WORKING ON THAT AS WELL. I'M EXCITED ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT ART CENTER EXPANSION CAN PROVIDE TO US. WE ALSO CONTINUE TO MARKET ALL ACROSS THE STATE OF TEXAS WITH THE PUBLIC RELATIONS FIRM THAT THE CVB CONTRACTS WITH. WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO GET PRINT MEDIA COVERAGE AND STATEWIDE PRESS RELEASES, AND ALSO LIVE TELEVISION INTERVIEWS ON KXAN, KVUE AND KUT. SO THEN MORE ECONOMIC IMPACT. SO NOT JUST MANAGING THE GEORGETOWN ARTS CENTER IN 2020 FOR OUR PROGRAM NOW MANAGES GRACE HERITAGE CENTER STARTED DOING THAT JUST IN JANUARY. AND SINCE THEN WE'VE HAD 116 PRIVATE RENTALS, AND IT'S GENERATED OVER 31,000 IN REVENUE. AND OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH PRESERVATION GEORGETOWN HAS INCREASED OPEN HOURS NOW TO AN AVERAGE OF 80 A MONTH. AND PRESERVATION GEORGETOWN NOW HAS AN ONGOING LECTURE SERIES. OUR CULTURAL FACILITIES STUDY WILL ALSO PRESENT OPTIONS FOR GRACE HERITAGE CENTER ON MORE REVENUE GENERATING PROGRAMS AND PRESERVATION PLAN. AND THEN NOT TO FORGET THE SHOTGUN HOUSE. THAT HAS NOT BEEN A HUGE PART OF OF OUR FACILITIES MANAGEMENT, BUT THAT'S ALSO GOING TO BE PART OF THE CULTURAL FACILITY STUDY. SO THEN WE'LL HAVE WE'LL HAVE MORE IDEAS ON HOW TO ENHANCE PROGRAMING IN THAT FACILITY AS WELL. OKAY. MORE ECONOMIC IMPACT. SO WITH OUR TEXAS COMMISSION ON THE ARTS DESIGNATION AS A CULTURAL DISTRICT, I HAVE BEEN APPLYING FOR GRANTS SINCE 2019. AND SINCE OUR LAST ROUND OF AWARDS, WE HAVE BEEN AWARDED OVER 276,000 IN GRANTS FROM THE TEXAS COMMISSION ON THE ARTS. 
          AND THESE GRANTS HAVE FUNDED ART CENTER STAFF FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS. AT THE ART CENTER, WE WERE ABLE TO UPGRADE OUR ENTIRE LIGHTING SYSTEM IN THE GALLERY, AS WELL AS ADD CABINETRY BEHIND OUR RECEPTION DESK. INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS, WHICH INCLUDE THE SOUTH MAIN ARTS DISTRICT, AND THAT WAS OUR LARGEST GRANT AMOUNT TO DATE, WHERE WE RECEIVED OVER 104,000 FOR THE SOUTH MAIN ARTS DISTRICT, PUBLIC PUBLIC SPACE ENHANCEMENT. 
          ALSO, WE WERE ABLE TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE SIGNAGE AND WAYFINDING PROJECT WITH THE TCA GRANT. WITH THESE, AS YOU SEE HERE, THESE GATEWAY SIGNS HERE AND THEN AT THE LIGHT AND WATERWORKS DISTRICT ENTRANCE, AND THEN ALSO OUR PUBLIC ART AT THE LIGHT AND WATERWORKS DISTRICT. WE ARE ABOUT TO INSTALL THE ARTISTIC SCREEN WALL AT THE LIGHT AND WATERWORKS BUILDING TO SCREEN THE HVAC AND THE UTILITIES THERE. AND WE HAVE OVER 56,000 AWARDED FOR THAT PUBLIC ART PROJECT. WE'VE ALSO RECEIVED NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE ARTS FUNDING ONLY IN $10,000, BUT WE DO HAVE AN OPEN GRANT REQUEST FOR $100,000 FOR MORE PUBLIC ART AT LIGHT AND WATERWORKS, SPECIFICALLY LIGHTING THE STACK AND ARTISTIC LIGHTING. OKAY, SO WE DID DO THE ARTS AND CULTURE BOARD DID DO AN ECONOMIC IMPACT STUDY IN 2017. AND ONE OF THE PRIMARY RECOMMENDATIONS OF THAT STUDY WAS TO INCORPORATE ARTS STAFF TO STEWARD THE PROGRAM AND GROW THE PROGRAM. AND SO THIS IS JUST A LITTLE SNIPPET OF THE DIFFERENCE IN THE 2017 ECONOMIC IMPACT VERSUS 2025 ECONOMIC IMPACT THAT YOU'LL WILL HIGHLIGHT IN MY PRESENTATION. AND THEN ALSO JUST A LITTLE SNAPSHOT OF GEORGETOWN ART CENTER REVENUE AND HOW WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO GROW THAT REVENUE AND ALSO GROW OUR AUDIENCE FOR ARTS AND CULTURE ITSELF, WHICH WE PROMOTE THE ENTIRE CULTURAL DISTRICT AND OUR CULTURAL DISTRICT, ARTS AND CULTURE ANCHOR ORGANIZATIONS WITHIN OUR DISTRICT. AND THEN ALSO JUST OUR, OUR AUDIENCES FOR THE ARTS CENTER AND JUST HOW WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO GROW THAT. LET'S SEE. OKAY. AND THEN I ALSO WANT TO TOUCH ON THE IMPACTS OF PUBLIC ART. WE KNOW IT ENCOURAGES CULTURAL 
          [00:25:01]
PARTICIPATION AND BUILDS A SENSE OF PLACE IN A COMMUNITY, BUT IT IS MORE THAN A QUALITY OF LIFE ASSET. IT ACTS AS VISUAL MERCHANDIZING AND EXPERIENTIAL DESIGN, AND WE KNOW THAT THAT ATTRACTS CLIENTELE AND VISITORS AND CULTURAL TOURISTS WHO TEND TO SPEND MORE MONEY AND STAY LONGER AND BRING FRIENDS AND KEEP COMING BACK. AND THAT'S JUST A STATISTIC THAT IS CONSTANTLY, CONSTANTLY PUT OUT THERE BY THE TEXAS CULTURAL TRUST IN THEIR ANNUAL STATE OF THE ARTS REPORTS FOR TEXAS AND THE TEXAS CULTURAL TRUST. DOES THE ECONOMIC IMPACT STUDIES FOR THE TEXAS COMMISSION ON THE ARTS. AND SO THAT IS ALWAYS SOMETHING THAT THEY TALK ABOUT. AND THEN ANOTHER THING THAT WE JUST JOINED, I HAVE TO POINT TO BECAUSE I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT IT. FOR PUBLIC ART, IT'S CALLED THIS CODA WORKS, THIS CODA WORKS PROGRAM. IT'S COLLABORATION OF DESIGN AND ART. AND IT'S A GLOBAL ONLINE PLATFORM THAT CAN IT'S A PROFESSIONAL NETWORK. IT CONNECTS ARTISTS, DESIGNERS, ARCHITECTS AND COMMISSION, PUBLIC ART COMMISSIONERS WITH ARCHITECTURAL AND PUBLIC ART DESIGN OPPORTUNITIES. AND I WAS ABLE TO ATTEND THEIR ANNUAL SUMMIT IN SANTA FE THIS PAST SEPTEMBER AND LEARN SO MANY NEW AND EXCITING THINGS ON ELEVATING OUR OWN PUBLIC ART AND THE WHOLE PROCESS. AND SO WE'RE WORKING WITH OUR NEWEST, OUR ARTISTIC SCREEN WALL AT THE LIGHT AND WATERWORKS DISTRICT AS A TOTAL INFRASTRUCTURE AND COLLABORATION PROJECT BETWEEN ARTISTS AND LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS AND OUR CONSTRUCTION TEAM. SO, AND AS YOU CAN SEE, WE CONTINUALLY, I THINK I FEEL LIKE OUR PUBLIC ART CONTINUES TO ELEVATE. AND MY, MY FAVORITE PUBLIC ART PIECES AT THIS POINT ARE THE LONGHORN PUBLIC ART AT THE AUSTIN AVENUE PARKING GARAGE, WHICH IS ACTUALLY REPRESENTATIVE OF GEORGETOWN'S HISTORY AS A PART OF THE CHISHOLM TRAIL. AND WE. AND WE HAVE SOME REALLY GREAT STORYBOARDS TO, TO TALK ABOUT THAT HISTORY, BOTH AT THE SCULPTURE AND AT THE MURAL, BECAUSE IT IS IT'S A REALLY HUGE PART OF GEORGETOWN'S HISTORY. BUT AS YOU CAN SEE, I JUST, I THINK THIS THESE ARE BEAUTIFUL PIECES OF ARTWORK AND SIGNATURE PIECES. OKAY, SO MORE, MORE DATA ON PUBLIC ART. SO ACCORDING TO CODE WORKS, YOU KNOW, THEY PUT OUT THIS YEARLY REVIEW WITH DATA, ECONOMIC GROWTH POLICY AND PLACEMAKING. AND THEY, THEY HAVE HAVE FOUND THAT IT, OF COURSE, IT TRANSFORMS URBAN LANDSCAPES AND LEADS TO A 50% INCREASE IN TIME SPENT AT THESE AREAS WHERE PLACEMAKING INTERVENTIONS OF PUBLIC ART WERE MADE, YOU KNOW, COULD BE AT THE PUBLIC ART, AT A MURAL, AT A SCULPTURE, OR IN ANY OF THESE SPACES LIKE THE LIGHT AND WATERWORKS DISTRICT, SOUTH MAIN ARTS DISTRICT, WHERE PUBLIC ART INTERVENTIONS WERE MADE. AND THERE'S A 77% INCREASE IN THE LIKELIHOOD FOR SHARING OF THAT INFORMATION. THAT'S WHY INFLUENCERS LOVE PUBLIC ART. IT'S WHAT GETS, YOU KNOW, BRINGS PEOPLE AND ATTRACTS PEOPLE TO A COMMUNITY. 
          AND IT'S A CATALYST FOR PROPERTY VALUE GROWTH AND COMMUNITY DESIRABILITY. WHERE IS THAT TOP ONE AT STARBUCKS? YES. OKAY. WOLF RANCH, I KNEW I'D SEEN IT. I COULDN'T REMEMBER WHERE IT WAS. YEAH, YEAH. I DON'T I DON'T GO TO THAT DISTRICT. OKAY. SO NOW WE'LL GET INTO OUR, OUR STRATEGY, OUR LONG TERM GOAL, WHAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON SINCE THE VERY BEGINNING. SO AS A REMINDER, IN OUR TIMELINE, ARTS AND CULTURE BOARD, ESTABLISHED IN 2008, SCULPTURE TOURS WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2009. IN 2013 IS WHEN THE ART CENTER WAS ESTABLISHED, WHEN THE TEXAS COMMISSION ON THE ARTS DESIGNATED AS US AS A CULTURAL DISTRICT. AND IT'S WHEN THE ARTS AND CULTURE BOARD DID THEIR FIRST STRATEGIC PLAN. 
          THEN THE STRATEGIC PLAN WAS UPDATED IN 2020, AND THEN A SECOND UPDATE WAS DUE IN 2025. 
          BUT WE FELT THAT WITH MOST OF THE GOALS IN THE PREVIOUS PLANS MET AND OUR PROGRAM FOCUSED ON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, WE THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD TIME TO UPDATE THE ECONOMIC IMPACT STUDY DONE IN 2017 TO HELP US INFORM OUR NEW UPDATED STRATEGIC PLAN. AND ALSO, WHAT WAS REALLY EXCITING IS THAT A CULTURAL FACILITY STUDY WAS ALSO BEING CONDUCTED DURING OUR STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS, AND WE WERE ABLE TO PROVIDE ARCHITECTS WITH ALL OF OUR MARKET RESEARCH THAT WE WERE UNDERGOING DURING OUR STRATEGIC PLAN. BUT FIRST, OUR ECONOMIC IMPACT STUDY. SO STOVER AND ASSOCIATES WAS HIRED TO CONDUCT THE 2025 ECONOMIC IMPACT STUDY, AND THE STUDY FOUND THE FOLLOWING IMPACTS THAT A TOTAL ECONOMIC IMPACT OF MORE THAN 113 MILLION COULD BE ATTRIBUTED TO ARTS AND CULTURE FROM OUR CORE ARTS AND CULTURE INDUSTRIES, SUPPORTING ARTS AND CULTURE INDUSTRIES, AND FROM TOURISM SPENDING. AND THEN THE 
          [00:30:03]
COMPOSITION. SO THE COMPOSITION OF THIS ARTS AND CULTURE ECONOMY IS THE CORE INDUSTRY SUPPORTING INDUSTRIES AND TOURISM SPENDING. AND THEN IF, IF YOU LOOK IN YOUR AGENDA ATTACHMENT, THE, THE, THE FULL ECONOMIC IMPACT STUDY IS INCLUDED IN YOUR ATTACHMENTS. 
          AND THEN YOU'LL SEE A BREAKDOWN OF THE INDUSTRIES STUDIED, WHAT THOSE INDUSTRIES ARE, CASE STUDIES, THEIR METHODOLOGY, INDUSTRY CODES, ETC. SO IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT DIGGING DEEPER INTO THEIR METHODOLOGY AND THEIR. WHAT THEY WHAT THEY STUDIED. HOW THE ARTS AND CULTURE, ECONOMIC ECONOMIES GENERATE IMPACTS FOR, FOR GEORGETOWN, THERE'S THE DIRECT IMPACT, INDIRECT IMPACT AND INDUCED IMPACT. AGAIN, FOR THAT TOTAL IMPACT OF 113 MILLION. SO WE OF COURSE, WE KNEW THAT ARTS AND CULTURE HAD AN ECONOMIC IMPACT ON GEORGETOWN. AND WE KNOW THAT WHAT WE'RE DOING IS DEFINITELY INCREASING OUR ECONOMIC IMPACT. BUT WE ALSO ASKED THE CONSULTANTS TO GIVE US SOME RECOMMENDATIONS ON HOW TO CONTINUE TO INCREASE THESE IMPACTS ON ARTS AND CULTURE. AND SO THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS INCLUDED ENHANCING THE PRESENCE OF THE GEORGETOWN ARTS CENTER AS A CATALYTIC LAUNCH PAD FOR CREATIVE BUSINESSES, ENTREPRENEURS AND ARTISTS, WHICH WENT RIGHT IN LINE WITH WHAT WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO DO WITH THAT FACILITY AND DOUBLE DOWN ON EFFORTS TO MAKE THE DOWNTOWN INVITING AND VIBRANT. 
          AND OF COURSE, THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE DOING AS A MEMBER OF THE DEPARTMENT OF DOWNTOWN AND TOURISM AND THEN WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH THE DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN IN MEETING THEIR GOALS AND PARTNERING WITH THEM ON ARTS AND CULTURE INITIATIVES, AND THEN SUPPORTING THE VITALITY OF EXISTING ARTS BUSINESSES AND SUPPORT ORGANIZATIONS. SO THE SUPPORT ORGANIZATIONS WOULD BE OUR ARTS AND CULTURE, OUR CULTURAL DISTRICT, ANCHOR ORGANIZATIONS, AND THEN ARTS BASED BUSINESSES. SO IF WE CONTINUE TO. SUPPORT OUR CULTURAL DISTRICT ORGANIZATIONS IN THE FRAMEWORK, WE CONTINUE TO OFFER THOSE HOTEL OCCUPANCY FUND GRANTS TO OUR CULTURAL DISTRICT ORGANIZATIONS AND THEN ALSO OUR ARTS BUSINESSES. WE KNOW THAT WE NEED TO RECRUIT MORE ARTS BUSINESSES. WE NEED TO GROW OUR ARTS BASED BUSINESS BASE HERE IN GEORGETOWN. AND SO AS A RECOMMENDATION OF THE STUDY, WE ARE WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO DO THAT AND BRING MORE ARTS BASED BUSINESSES HERE, AND, OF COURSE, EXPAND THE DRAW OF EXISTING ARTS AND CULTURE EVENTS. OKAY. SO WITH THESE RECOMMENDATIONS IN MIND, WE UNDERTOOK THIS STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS WITHIN A FRAMEWORK OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. AND SO WE HAD TO ASK OURSELVES THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS, AS ANY BUSINESS WOULD AS THEY'RE PUTTING TOGETHER A BUSINESS PLAN, WHO ARE OUR AUDIENCES? WHO ARE WHO IS OUR CUSTOMER? WHAT WILL THEY BUY? HOW DO WE INCENTIVIZE THEM? HOW DO WE SERVE THEM? SO WE DID OUR MARKET RESEARCH AND WE WE SURVEYED ARTISTS, OUR CULTURAL DISTRICT ORGANIZATIONS, BUSINESSES, ARTS BASED BUSINESSES. AND WE BROUGHT BACK A TOTAL OF 458 SURVEYS FROM THE COMMUNITY. AND YOU'LL ALSO SEE IN YOUR AGENDA PACKET THE DETAILED BREAKDOWN OF ALL THOSE SURVEYS, PAGES AND PAGES AND PAGES OF INFORMATION THAT WE ALSO SHARED WITH OUR ARCHITECTS FOR THE CULTURAL FACILITIES STUDY, AND THEN OUR ARTS AND CULTURE BOARD. WE DID A FOCUS GROUP AND A RETREAT, AND I WOULD LIKE TO MENTION OUR, OUR ARTS AND CULTURE BOARD IS ALSO SUCH A GREAT ASSET TO OUR COMMUNITY BECAUSE SINCE IT WAS ESTABLISHED, WE ARE RECOMMENDED THAT WE INCLUDE A BOARD MEMBER FROM G. ISD FINE ARTS DEPARTMENT, SOUTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF FINE ARTS, AND THEN ALSO A REPRESENTATIVE FROM OUR CULTURAL DISTRICT ORGANIZATIONS. AND SO, OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, THEY ARE EXPERTS IN THEIR FIELD ARTS ADMINISTRATION AND ART AND MUSIC. AND WE ALSO DID A STUDY ANALYSIS WITH THE BOARD. SO KEY TAKEAWAYS THAT WE LEARNED FROM OUR MARKET RESEARCH FOR VISUAL ARTISTS. THEY ARE LOOKING FOR A MAKERSPACE TYPE FACILITY FOR MEDIA SUCH AS CERAMICS, PRINTMAKING, 3D PRINTING, AND THE DIGITAL ARTS. THOSE TENDED TO BE THE MOST POPULAR TYPES OF OF ARTWORK. AND THEN MORE ARTIST STUDIOS, ARTIST RESIDENCIES AND EXHIBITION SPACE FOR THESE STUDIOS, AND THEN FOR MUSICIANS AND PERFORMING ARTISTS, MORE PERFORMANCE VENUES. WE'RE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR MORE PERFORMANCE VENUES AND THEN MORE OPPORTUNITIES TO ENGAGE WITH FELLOW ARTISTS AND LOCAL ARTS AND CULTURE ORGANIZATIONS AND BUSINESSES. SO NETWORKING 
          [00:35:01]
OPPORTUNITIES, ENGAGEMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR ARTS COMMUNITY, AND THEN ENHANCED HERITAGE PROGRAMING AT OUR CITY OWNED HERITAGE CULTURAL FACILITIES, WHICH FALLS RIGHT INTO LINE WITH WHAT WE'RE DOING IN THE CULTURAL FACILITIES STUDY. YOU KNOW, WITH GRACE AND THE SHOTGUN HOUSE. OKAY, SO WE CAME UP WITH FIVE GOALS, AND I'M JUST GOING TO BRIEFLY TALK ABOUT THE GOAL AND THEN JUST A SUMMARY OF KEY OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGIES. WE CHOSE TO MAKE OUR NUMBER ONE GOAL, THE NUMBER ONE RECOMMENDATION OF THE ECONOMIC IMPACT STUDY AND ENHANCING THE PRESENT PRESENCE OF THE ART CENTER AS THE HUB AND THE CATALYTIC LAUNCHPAD. SO FIRST, MOST IMPORTANT THING IS COMPLETE OUR CULTURAL FACILITY STUDY AND THEN DEVELOP THE STRATEGIES FOR IMPLEMENTING THE RECOMMENDATIONS, FACILITATING THESE NETWORK AND ENGAGEMENT OPPORTUNITIES. WE ARE GOING TO BRING BACK THE BROWN BAG LUNCHEON. THAT WAS ONE OF THE WAYS WE DID THIS, BUT ONE, WE TOOK OVER MANAGEMENT OF THE ARTS CENTER, OUR STAFF CAPACITY. 
          WE DIDN'T. WE COULDN'T DO THAT. BUT NOW WE ARE. SO WE'RE GOING TO WORK ON THAT AND THEN CONTINUE EXPANDING OUR STAFF AND BOARD AND SUBCOMMITTEE ROLES. WE'VE HAD SUCH SUCCESS WITH OUR EXHIBIT SUBCOMMITTEE. THAT'S THE ART CENTER EXHIBIT COMMITTEE THAT WE'RE GOING TO USE THAT EXAMPLE AND DEVELOP AN EVENT SUBCOMMITTEE TO HELP WITH THOSE GOALS. AND THEN A HERITAGE SUBCOMMITTEE THAT WE'RE WORKING ON THAT. AND OF COURSE, EXPANDING MARKETING AND PROMOTION, WHICH IS ALWAYS ONGOING. AND THEN EXPANDING THE PUBLIC ART PROGRAM. SO ELEVATING THE QUALITY, WHICH WE CONTINUE TO DO, AND ATTRACTING PUBLIC ARTISTS WHO ARE HIGHLY SKILLED AND EXPERIENCED, ELEVATING OUR SELECTION AND IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS. AND I TOUCHED A LITTLE BIT ON THAT WHEN I TALKED ABOUT OUR THE SCREEN WALL AT THE LIGHT AND WATERWORKS DISTRICT. AND THEN WE'RE CONSIDERING A MATCHING GRANT PROGRAM FOR PUBLIC ART ON COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES, WHICH WE HELP WITH THE PERMITTING OF THOSE DESIGNS OF THE PUBLIC ART ON COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES. AND THEN, OF COURSE, COLLABORATING WITH OTHER CITY DEPARTMENTS LIKE PARKS AND ALSO PUBLIC ART WITH THE CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER AND MANY MORE OPPORTUNITIES AS THEY PRESENT THEMSELVES AND THEN CONTINUE TO DEVELOP A THRIVING ARTS, CULTURE AND ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT IN THE DOWNTOWN BY CONTINUING TO LOST MY PLACE. 
          ELEVATE THE SEMIANNUAL ART STROLLS AND PROMOTE THE FINE ARTS IN GEORGETOWN. ALSO RECRUITING AND PROMOTING ARTS BASED BUSINESSES, COLLABORATING WITH CULTURAL EVENTS SUCH AS DIA DE LOS MUERTOS AND JUNETEENTH, AND PARTNERING ON THAT DOWNTOWN INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT TO MEET THE GOALS OF THE DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN, SUCH AS THE NINTH STREET ART WALK, AND THEN CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN OUR CULTURAL DISTRICT DESIGNATION FOR CONTINUED GRANT INVESTMENT. AND GOAL FOUR IDENTIFY ADDITIONAL SPACES BEYOND THE ART CENTER TO EXPAND ARTS AND CULTURE BECAUSE IN THIS. IN THE SURVEY, THERE IS DEFINITELY DESIRE FOR ARTS INCUBATOR ACTIVITIES, MULTIDISCIPLINARY PROGRAMING TO ENCOMPASS ALL OF THE FINE ARTS. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, AS YOU KNOW, OUR CITY OWNED CULTURAL FACILITIES ONLY HAVE SO MANY SQUARE FEET. 
          WE'RE BURSTING AT THE SEAMS. SO IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO BE OPEN TO OPPORTUNITIES BEYOND THE CITY OWNED FACILITIES. BUT THEN, OF COURSE, VERY IMPORTANT TO IMPLEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE CULTURAL FACILITIES STUDY. AND GOAL FIVE CONTINUE TO PURSUE FUNDING TO ELEVATE GEORGETOWN ARTS AND CULTURE, WILL CONTINUE TO IMPLEMENT OUR ARTS AND CULTURE GRANTS FROM THE HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAX AS INVESTMENT IN OUR CULTURAL DISTRICT ORGANIZATIONS EXPLORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR FRIENDS OF THE ARTS ORGANIZATIONS SIMILAR TO THE LIBRARY AND PARKS. WE DO NOT HAVE A REVENUE ACCOUNT, SO WE'RE NOT ABLE TO FUNDRAISE FOR OURSELVES. AND SO IF WE COULD FIND A WAY TO HAVE AN ORGANIZATION WHO COULD FUNDRAISE FOR US, JUST ANOTHER INCOME STREAM AND CONTINUE TO PURSUE GRANTS FROM THE TCA AND OTHER FUNDING, FUNDING, FOUNDATIONS AND SOURCES, AND THEN MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR EARNED INCOME IN NEW AND EXISTING PROGRAMS AND CULTURAL FACILITIES STUDIES HELPING US TO IDENTIFY HOW TO DO THIS. 
          WITH THE SQUARE FOOTAGE THAT WE HAVE. OKAY, SO NEXT STEPS. NOW, OUR CITY OWNED CULTURAL FACILITIES WILL TALK A LITTLE. LET'S TALK A LITTLE ABOUT ABOUT OUR CULTURAL DISTRICT. SO IF YOU IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT OUR CULTURAL DISTRICT ENTAILS, HERE IS A MAP OF IT. OF COURSE, WE HAVE OUR CITY OWNED ONES, GRACE HERITAGE CENTER AND THE ART CENTER. IT ALSO INCLUDES THE GEORGETOWN PALACE THEATER AND THE WILLIAMSON MUSEUM. THE DOUG SMITH PERFORMANCE CENTER, OF COURSE, IS PART OF THE PALACE THEATER. THE PUBLIC LIBRARY IS A PART OF OUR CULTURAL DISTRICT AND A APPROVED ANCHOR ORGANIZATION. BUT OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE UNDER A 
          [00:40:02]
SEPARATE PROGRAM, BUT WE COLLABORATE WITH THEM. AND THEN WE HAVE THE SHOTGUN HOUSE MUSEUM, SOUTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY, GISD IS NOT ON HERE, BUT THIS THIS IS OUR CULTURAL DISTRICT DESIGNATED BY THE TCA. AND THIS IS THIS IS WHAT WE REPORT ON EVERY YEAR. OUR IMPACT, OUR ECONOMIC IMPACTS. WE HAVE TO DO AN ANNUAL REPORT TO THE TCA. SO. SOME OF THESE GOALS AND CONTINUE TO PARTNER ON THE DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN GOALS AND OUR FACILITY STUDY OPPORTUNITIES. ONE ONE OF THE OPPORTUNITIES IS CONNECTING THESE CITY OWNED FACILITIES, WHICH WILL HELP US MEET GOAL THREE, ELEVATING ARTS PROGRAMING AND OTHER ARTS AND CULTURE EVENTS, WHICH WILL ALSO HELP US MEET GOAL THREE ENHANCING AND PRESERVING EXISTING CITY OWNED CULTURAL FACILITIES, WHICH TIES INTO GOAL ONE AND GOAL FIVE. AND ALSO IT IS A CULTURAL DISTRICT. GOAL CULTURAL DISTRICT AS A TCA GOAL, AND THEN BOOSTING OUR ARTS BASED BUSINESSES AND FINDING WAYS TO ATTRACT THEM, ESPECIALLY IN THE SOUTH MAIN ARTS DISTRICT. AND THAT WILL HELP US MEET GOAL THREE. WE'VE IDENTIFIED THAT IN A 2017 DOWNTOWN ASSESSMENT. THERE ARE RECOMMENDATIONS ON HOW TO ATTRACT AND RECRUIT ARTS BASED BUSINESSES. SO WE'RE LOOKING INTO THAT. THIS NINTH STREET ART WALK. IS ONE OF ONE OF THE FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES ON HELPING US MEET ALL OF THOSE GOALS EXPANDING ART CENTER, EXPANDING ART STROLL, PROGRAMING AND CONNECTING OUR CULTURAL FACILITY STUDY AND AN OPPORTUNITY FOR MORE PUBLIC ART JUST TO HELP US WORK TOWARD OUR GOALS. SO THIS IS THIS IS AN ILLUSTRATION FROM THE DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN, AND THIS IS SO THIS IS A RENDERING OF, OF THE OF THE PLAN VIEW OF THE NINTH STREET ART WALK. AND SO WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS TO REALLY HELP US BOOST ONE OF OUR, ONE OF OUR WEAKNESSES IS, YOU KNOW, OUR ARTS BASED BUSINESSES. SO WE DO WANT TO GROW THAT. AND THEY AND THIS DOWNTOWN ASSESSMENT HAS. HAS SOME RECOMMENDATIONS ON THAT EXPERIENTIAL RETAIL AND ACTIVE STOREFRONTS THAT ARTIST STUDIOS AND ARTIST RESIDENCY PROGRAMS PROVIDE THE VALUES MERCHANDIZING MATRIX THAT THIS ASSESSMENT FOCUSES ON INCLUDES ART STUDIOS AND ART GALLERIES. AND SO ESPECIALLY IN THE SOUTH MAIN ARTS DISTRICT, IT WOULD MAKE SENSE TO FOR US TO WORK ON DOING THAT. OKAY. SO IN CONCLUSION, TWO PROJECTS THAT WILL CONTINUE TO HELP ELEVATE THE ARTS AND MEET OUR GOALS ARE THIS THE NINTH STREET ART WALK AND THEN THE CULTURAL FACILITIES STUDY. AND I REALLY LOOK FORWARD TO THAT PRESENTATION IN DECEMBER ON DECEMBER 8TH, WHERE YOU'LL HEAR FROM THE ARCHITECTS AND THEY'LL DISCUSS THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE STUDY. AND SO THAT IS EXCITING FOR ME TO SEE WHAT MORE WE CAN DO WITH THE SPACES, BECAUSE WE'VE DONE SO MUCH WITH SO LITTLE. AND I KNOW WE CAN DO MORE WITH ELEVATED AND EXPANDED SPACES. SO THANK YOU. THAT'S THANK YOU. AMANDA CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION. SO ANY QUESTIONS? OH, GREAT. LET ME SEE IF ANYBODY'S GOT ANY QUESTIONS OR INPUT. I'LL START ANYTHING. JAKE. AMANDA. NO, I APPRECIATE THE PRESENTATION. THANKS, AMANDA, FOR THE PRESENTATION. A QUESTIONS. SO I THINK YOU ANSWERED ONE OF THEM. IT LOOKS LIKE THAT YOU'RE GETTING A LOT OF INTEREST IN THE ARTIST AT THE ART CENTER. SO YOU SAID YOU HAVE OVER 50 APPLICATIONS TO FILL, PROBABLY ABOUT 12 MONTHS OF PROGRAMING. AND IS THAT A I'M ASSUMING AN UPTICK? WHAT? DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WERE GETTING PREVIOUSLY? I DON'T OKAY, IT'S OKAY, BUT I CAN FIND THAT OUT. NO, NO NO. JUST WONDERED IF I MEAN THAT 50 IS IS A LOT WHEN WE'RE ONLY WE CAN ONLY FILL. WHAT DO YOU DO? 12. ABOUT 12 EXHIBITS A YEAR. WE DO NINE OUTSIDE EXHIBITS AND THEN WE DO OUR LOCAL JURIED SMALL WORKS EXHIBIT AT THE END OF THE YEAR FOR HOLIDAY SHOPPING. OKAY. SO TEN OKAY, GREAT. WELL, CONGRATS ON THAT ON THE GHC RENTALS. AND I KNEW, OF COURSE, THAT YOU ALL TOOK OVER GHC MANAGEMENT IN 2026. SO THAT'S GREAT. DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS UP FROM IN, FROM IN PREVIOUS YEARS? I DON'T AND I DON'T FIND THAT OUT. THAT'S OKAY. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THAT DATA IF WE COULD, IF WE COULD FIND THAT 
          [00:45:01]
OUT, YOU KNOW, THAT'D BE GREAT. THAT'S GREAT TO SEE FROM JUST JANUARY TO TODAY, BUT I'D LOVE TO SEE WHAT THAT LOOKED LIKE PRIOR AND THEN ON THAT AS WELL. SO IN THE CULTURAL FACILITIES STUDY, I'M ASSUMING THAT THEY'RE LOOKING AT NOT ONLY RENTAL OF GRACE. AND I DON'T KNOW THAT WE RENT THE SHOTGUN HOUSE. I DON'T I'M NOT AWARE OF US RENTING THE SHOTGUN HOUSE, BUT ARE THEY ALSO LOOKING AT ADDITIONAL WAYS TO PROGRAM OUR OUR SPACES? I MEAN, OF COURSE, THE ART CENTER, BUT ALSO, GRACE, YOU'VE HEARD ME SAY THAT BEFORE THAT I THINK THERE COULD BE SOME PROGRAMING OPPORTUNITIES THERE, BUT I'D LOVE TO. I'M NOT AN EXPERT IN THAT AND WOULD LOVE TO SEE WHAT OPPORTUNITIES THEY HAVE OUTSIDE OF RENTALS. I MEAN, IT'S A RENTAL SPACE, BUT YOU KNOW, WHAT ELSE COULD WE BE DOING WITH WITH THAT? AND THEN I'M ASSUMING OTHER SPACES AS WELL. ARE THEY LOOKING AT BOTH PROGRAMING AND RENTAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR WELL ON THE IN THE CULTURAL FACILITY STUDY? WHAT WHAT IS THERE, WHAT ARE THEY PRIMARILY TRYING TO ACHIEVE THERE OUTSIDE OF JUST ENHANCING RENTAL? OH, YEAH. WELL, DEFINITELY A PRESERVATION PLAN. WHAT SHOULD BE DONE STRUCTURALLY TO PRESERVE THESE BUILDINGS AND ONGOING MAINTENANCE. OKAY. AS MAJOR HISTORIC FACILITIES WITHIN OUR WITHIN OUR CULTURAL DISTRICT, BUT THEN ALSO HOW, HOW TO UTILIZE THEM IN REVENUE GENERATING ACTIVITIES AND PROGRAMS. OKAY, PERFECT. AND THEN WE'LL JUST AND CULTURALLY RELEVANT PROGRAMING, ARTS AND CULTURE PROGRAMING. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. APPRECIATE THAT. AND THEN I JUST WANTED TO SAY LOVE THE IDEA OF A FRIENDS OF THE ARTS PROGRAM. I CAN SEE HOW THAT WOULD BE A CHALLENGE THAT, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T REALLY HAVE A FUNDRAISING ARM FOR THE ARTS AND I COULD SEE THAT WORKING. 
          WHO DO YOU ENVISION, MAN, WHO WOULD MANAGE THAT PROGRAM? THAT'S WE'RE STILL JUST EXPLORING OPTIONS. SO IT, IT, WE'RE NOT SURE IF IT'S TIED TO A FACILITY LIKE THE LIBRARIES PROGRAM IS OR IF IT'S BROADER AND INVOLVES ALL OF THE CULTURAL DISTRICT ORGANIZATIONS. 
          SO THAT'S JUST, THAT'S SOMETHING WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE, BUT WE DON'T KNOW YET HOW TO MAKE IT WORK. THERE'S PEOPLE WHO WANT IT TO WORK AND THEY HAVE ALL SORTS OF IDEAS, BUT WE'RE JUST WE DON'T KNOW YET HOW TO MOVE FORWARD. OKAY. WELL, I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA, BUT I ALSO APPRECIATE YOU LOOKING STRATEGICALLY AT HOW DOES IT WORK AND HOW CAN IT FIT WITHIN ALL THE OTHER THINGS THAT THAT YOU AND KIM AND Y'ALL'S TEAMS ARE TAKING ON? CONGRATULATIONS ON ALL OF THE GRANTS SUCCESS. I'VE NOTICED THAT ANYTIME WE HAVE A GRANT THAT HAS REALLY BEEN A GREAT UPTICK AND CONGRATULATIONS AND ALL THAT WORK AND ALL THE WORK THAT YOU HAVE DONE, I WAS EXCITED WHEN WE HIRED A PART TIME MANAGER. I THINK IT'S BEEN VERY CLEAR THAT WE HAVE ENOUGH TO DO TO HAVE US FULL TIME AND THEN ANOTHER STAFF PERSON AS WELL. AND I THINK WE'RE REAPING THE BENEFITS OF THAT, NOT ONLY FROM THE BEAUTIFUL ARTWORK AND CULTURAL EXPERIENCES THAT WE HAVE AROUND OUR SQUARE, BUT ALSO JUST FROM SEEING THE REVENUE GENERATION. WHEN YOU HAVE PEOPLE WHO ARE ACTUALLY FULL TIME MANAGING PROGRAMS. SO WE APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU. JUST THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. HEY, MAN, I GOT TWO QUESTIONS ON THE ART WALK YOU'VE DONE A GOOD JOB WITH. I ALWAYS SEE ART GRANTS ON OUR AGENDAS. DO YOU THINK THERE ARE ANY GRANTS THAT CAN HELP FUND THAT ROADWAY THERE? OH, THE ART WALK THERE. WELL, YOU KNOW. EVERY YEAR, ONCE A YEAR, WE CAN APPLY FOR A CULTURAL DISTRICT GRANT. AND IN ENHANCEMENTS TO THE DISTRICT IS ONE OF THE CATEGORIES. AND IT'S UP TO $250,000, MAYBE 350 PER GRANT. SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT COULD THEY COULD FUND. WE'VE JUST GOT TO LOOK AT LIKE WHAT WE'RE DOING, WHAT OUR WHAT IN OUR PIPELINE OF WHAT WE NEED TO APPLY FOR FUNDING FOR. SO YES, THERE IS A POTENTIAL IF WE CAN FIND SOME ARTISTS THAT WILL HELP US GET IT COMPLETED FOR $350,000 TOO, BUT IT'S ALWAYS MATCHING. SO THE CULTURAL DISTRICT, YOU KNOW, IF THEY GIVE US 350, THEN WE'VE GOT TO MATCH 350. BUT THAT HELPS. IT'S A BIG HELP. IT HELPS SOME. ABSOLUTELY. YOU TALKED ABOUT PUTTING ARTWORK IN FRONT OF OTHER BUSINESSES. WHAT DOES THAT ENTAIL? I GUESS THE BUSINESS IT'S STILL THEIR PROPERTY. THEY HAVE TO SIGN SOME TYPE OF LICENSING AGREEMENT OR SOMETHING WITH THE CITY. IS THAT AND THEN THE CITY'S PUTS THE THE SCULPTURE OR WHATEVER THERE. AND THEN I GUESS THEY MAY CHANGE IT OUT. IS THERE A COST TO THE BUSINESSES? HOW DOES THAT WORK? YES. SO WE HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING SCULPTURAL YET ON A COMMERCIAL PROPERTY. WE'VE LOOKED AT HOW WE COULD DO THAT, BUT WE'VE NEVER MOVED FORWARD YET WITH IT. MURALS ARE MUCH NOW ALL OF OUR SCULPTURES ON PUBLIC PROPERTY. YES, RIGHT NOW THE MURALS ARE THE EASIEST TO DO THAT AS PART OF A COMMERCIAL ART PROGRAM. AND THAT'S WHERE THOSE EASEMENTS COME IN. WE WE GOT WE GOT WITH LEGAL YEARS AGO TO COME UP WITH THE BEST PROCESS TO DO THAT. WHEN PROPERTY OWNERS WERE WANTING TO PUT A MURAL ON THEIR BUILDING, THEY IT WAS AUTOMATICALLY GOING THROUGH THE SIGN PERMITTING PROCESS. AND OF COURSE, THAT 
          [00:50:05]
DOESN'T THAT DIDN'T WORK BECAUSE THEY WOULD NEVER BE APPROVED. THEY WERE TOO LARGE AND IT JUST DIDN'T FIT WITH THAT. THAT ORDINANCE IN THE PERMITTING PROCESS. BUT WE ALSO HAD TO ADDRESS LIKE REGULATING, REGULATING ARTWORK, REGULATING EXPRESSION. AND HOW WOULD WE DO THAT AND NOT VIOLATE ANY AMENDMENT, FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS. SO THAT'S WHERE THE EASEMENT COMES IN, WHERE IT BECOMES CITY PROPERTY, AND THEN THE ARTS AND CULTURE BOARD AS A BOARD AND COMMISSION CAN THEN REGULATE THE CONTENT OF THAT ARTISTIC WORK. AND SO THAT'S THE LOGIC BEHIND THAT. SO THE PROPERTY DOES GRANT AN EASEMENT TO THE CITY. AND IT'S IT'S RENEWED. IT'S AUTOMATICALLY RENEWED EVERY FIVE YEARS, UNLESS AT THE END OF A FIVE YEAR INCREMENT, EITHER THE CITY OR THE PROPERTY OWNER DECIDES THAT THE MURALS IN DISREPAIR AND EITHER NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED OR TAKEN DOWN OR PAINTED OVER. BUT IF EVERYONE'S HAPPY WITH IT, IT JUST RENEWS FOR ANOTHER FIVE YEARS. OKAY? AND IT IS AT THE PROPERTY OWNER'S EXPENSE. BUT BUT WE ARE LOOKING AT A MATCHING GRANT PROGRAM TO HELP HELP THEM. IF, IF THEY CHOOSE TO APPLY. OKAY. THANK YOU. YES. YEAH. I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS THAT HAVEN'T BEEN ALREADY ASKED, BUT I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU. I THINK THE ART AND THE MURALS DEFINITELY BRING A DISTINCT ADVANTAGE TO OUR DOWNTOWN, AND A LOT OF PEOPLE LOVE THAT. AND I DO TOO. 
          THANKS. THANK YOU. AMANDA, THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. AND I'M GOING TO ECHO COUNCILMAN NOBLE. THE MURALS ATTRACT. THE MURALS SERVE AS ANOTHER STEPPING STONE FOR THE OTHER THINGS THAT THE BOARD WANTS TO DO, BUT THEY REALLY DO ATTRACT PEOPLE TO OUR CITY IN A WAY THAT IS APPRECIATED. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR PRESENTATION AND YOUR EFFORTS ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD. THE CULTURAL BOARD. THANK YOU. YEAH, I'LL JUST ECHO EVERYBODY'S SENTIMENT. I LOVE GOING DOWNTOWN AND SEEING ALL THE NEW THINGS THAT GET INSTALLED AND NEW PLACES THAT ARE GETTING ACTIVATED. SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK. THANKS. OKAY. ALL 
          [1.C 4T In-City MUD Request]
RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. APPRECIATE IT. OKAY. THAT BRINGS US TO OUR NEXT ITEM, THE FOUR T MUD REQUEST. AND I BELIEVE NICK IS GOING TO LEAD THIS FOR US. 
          OKAY. GOOD AFTERNOON, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. NICK WOOLERY, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER. I'M GOING TO ATTEMPT TO MAKE THE TRANSITION FROM PUBLIC ART TO THE ART OF DEVELOPING A FORMER ROCK QUARRY. THAT'S INTERESTING THAT I DIDN'T GET YOU ALL WARMED UP, YOU KNOW? YOU KNOW. ON THAT NOTE, THERE'S A REASON I'M IN CITY GOVERNMENT AND NOT A COMEDIAN. SO I AM EXCITED TO BE HERE TODAY, THOUGH, BECAUSE IT'S I DON'T THINK THERE ARE A LOT OF CITIES WHO GET THE OPPORTUNITY TWICE IN A YEAR TO WORK ON REDEVELOPING AN EXISTING OR A FORMER QUARRY. OBVIOUSLY, COUNCIL WORKED ON THE YEARWOOD DEAL EARLIER THIS YEAR, AND NOW WE HAVE AN ADDITIONAL PROJECT THAT I THINK IS JUST REALLY EXCITING FOR THE COMMUNITY. WAS LOOKING BACK AT OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND JUST, YOU KNOW, UNDERSTANDING, YOU KNOW, WHAT, WHAT WAS THERE ANYTHING MENTIONED ABOUT, YOU KNOW, DEVELOPING, REDEVELOPING QUARRIES? AND I DON'T KNOW THAT IT WAS EVEN ENVISIONED. AND YOU JUST LOOK AT THE, THE LAND USES THAT WERE PUT OVER OUR QUARRIES OF, YOU KNOW, MINING. THERE JUST WASN'T REALLY A FEELING THAT THESE OPPORTUNITIES WOULD COME PROBABLY THIS QUICKLY. SO IT'S EXCITING TO BE HERE AND START THE PROCESS WITH COUNCIL OF, OF LOOKING AT A PROJECT CALLED 40 RANCH. IT IS A POTENTIAL IN CITY DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL, AND I'M SPECIFICALLY NOT CALLING IT A MUD REQUEST, ALTHOUGH THERE IS A REQUEST FOR MUD BECAUSE I THINK THIS IS BIGGER THAN JUST A TYPICAL MUD CONSENT REQUEST THAT THAT COUNCIL SEES. THERE'S THERE'S A LOT MORE TO IT. AND I THINK IT'S, IT'S JUST SUCH A SUCH A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR THE COMMUNITY THAT I DON'T WOULDN'T WANT TO JUST CALL IT A, A MUD REQUEST. SO I DO WANT TO SAY THAT IT'S A, IT'S A BIG PROJECT. 
          AND SO WE WANT TO BE HERE TONIGHT TO PRIMARILY LET, LET THE DEVELOPER AND THEIR TEAM COME UP AND SHARE THE VISION FOR THE PROJECT AND LET YOU ALL AND THE PUBLIC GET AN INITIAL GLIMPSE OF WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED, WHAT THEIR VISION IS. LET COUNCIL ASK SOME SOME 
          [00:55:02]
QUESTIONS. FROM WHAT YOU'VE SEEN SO FAR, WE'RE NOT GOING TO GO FROM TODAY AND DEVELOP A MUD CONSENT AGREEMENT AND WHATEVER ELSE. WE'RE NOT QUITE AT THAT STAGE. WE'RE A LITTLE BIT EARLIER. WE WANT TO LET YOU ALL SEE AT A HIGH LEVEL WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED, UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE EXCITED ABOUT, WHAT YOU'RE CONCERNS MIGHT BE, AND THEN LET US GO BACK AND WORK WITH WORK WITH THEIR TEAM AND COME BACK TO YOU ALL IN THE FUTURE TO HAVE SOME FOLLOW UP CONVERSATIONS ON THIS AS IT AS IT MOVES FORWARD. I DO WANT TO SAY IN WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE TODAY, THERE'S A COUPLE CHANGES IN THE SLIDES FROM WHAT WAS IN YOUR PACKET. THE DEVELOPER HAD A COUPLE TWEAKS THAT ARE WORKED INTO THEIR SLIDES. SO IF YOU'RE TRACKING, YOU MAY SEE JUST A COUPLE SMALL CHANGES AS WE GO ALONG. THE OTHER THING I WILL SAY, I'M GOING TO GIVE A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF SOME CONTEXT OF THE SITE, AND THEN I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO TO JARRETT MINTON. HE'S WITH ROBINSON FAMILY MANAGEMENT, AND HE'S GOING TO WALK THROUGH THEIR SLIDES. AND THEN I'LL COME BACK UP AT THE END AND WALK THROUGH SOME FEEDBACK QUESTIONS WITH COUNCIL. SO AGAIN, TODAY'S PURPOSE IS TO INTRODUCE A PROPOSED CITY DEVELOPMENT PROJECT, GIVE YOU THE CONTEXT OF THE AREA BEING DEVELOPED, AND ALLOW THE DEVELOPER TO PRESENT THEIR VISION. DO YOU WANT TO GATHER INITIAL HIGH LEVEL FEEDBACK ON THE LAND PLAN, SOME HIGH LEVEL FEEDBACK ON THE PARKS AND OPEN SPACE PLAN, AND THEN THE REQUEST FOR A MUD IN TERMS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT, AND THEN GATHER FEEDBACK FROM COUNCIL ON ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. YOU YOU WOULD NEED TO HELP IN MAKING A DECISION ON THIS REQUEST. AND THEN ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE THAT STAFF OR THE DEVELOPER CAN COME BACK WITH ANSWERS TO AT A FOLLOW UP COUNCIL WORKSHOP. SO A LITTLE OVERVIEW OF THE AREA. THIS IS 1376 ACRES. IT IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN THE CITY'S ETJ. THE REQUEST IS TO ANNEX INTO CITY LIMITS. AND IT IS ADJACENT, I GUESS ACROSS FROM, I GUESS, KIND OF DIAGONAL FROM THE YEARWOOD PROJECT THAT YOU'VE SEEN RECENTLY AND ACROSS FROM THE WOODSIDE DEVELOPMENT THAT YOU ALL HAVE ALSO SEEN RECENTLY. IT IS AT THE INTERSECTION OF RONALD REAGAN BOULEVARD AND STATE HIGHWAY 195. 
          IT IS AN INACTIVE QUARRY SITE. THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN DESIGNATION CURRENTLY IS MINING AND EMPLOYMENT CENTER, ALTHOUGH LATER TONIGHT YOU DO HAVE AN AGENDA ITEM THAT WOULD PROPOSE CHANGING THE FUTURE LAND USE IN THIS AREA TO MIXED DENSITY RESIDENTIAL AND REGIONAL CENTER. 
          AND AGAIN, PART OF THAT IS AS WE WERE LOOKING AT KIND OF THIS BROADER AREA OF 40 RANCH AND YEARWOOD REALLY LOOKING AT, OKAY, MINING ISN'T THE RIGHT USE. WHAT ARE THE THE POTENTIAL FUTURE USES THAT MAKE SENSE? SO, SO YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THAT REQUEST COMING FORWARD ON YOUR AGENDA LATER THIS EVENING. SO THIS AREA WOULD BE PROVIDED WATER, WASTEWATER AND SOLID WASTE BY THE CITY OF GEORGETOWN. IT IS CURRENTLY AN SD EIGHT. AND SO THE THE TRANSITION, IF IT'S ANNEXED INTO THE CITY LIMITS THE TRANSITION TO CITY OF GEORGETOWN FIRE AND EMS IS A SEAMLESS TRANSITION. AND THEN THE ELECTRIC SERVICE PROVIDER IN THE AREA IS PEC. JUST A HIGH LEVEL KIND OF AERIAL OF THE SITE AGAIN, GAVE THE THE BROADER CONTEXT A MINUTE AGO OF WE'VE GOT YEARWOOD OVER IN THIS OTHER CORNER. WE HAVE WOODSIDE HERE ACROSS 195. THIS IS SHADY OAKS ESTATES HERE. AND THEN YOU'LL HAVE SUN CITY THAT'S BASICALLY SURROUNDING BOTH OF THOSE DEVELOPMENTS. THIS WAS A SHOT. WE DID GET TO TAKE A TOUR. AND I KNOW THAT THEY WOULD WELCOME CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS TAKING A TOUR OF THE SITE AS WE MOVE ALONG IN THE PROCESS. THIS WAS JUST A SHOT THAT I GOT WHILE ON THE TOUR THAT I THOUGHT WAS INTERESTING TO TO SHARE. YOU SEE A LOT OF TIMES SEE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE UP FROM ABOVE, BUT IT'S INTERESTING JUST TO GET THE EXPERIENCE OF WHAT IT'S LIKE DOWN WITHIN THE, WITHIN THE QUARRY ITSELF. SO SOME, SOME BACKGROUND ON THIS REQUEST. SO THE REQUEST IS TO ANNEX INTO CITY LIMITS, SIMILAR TO OTHER PROJECTS THAT ARE CURRENTLY IN THE ETJ. THAT WOULD BE CONDITIONED ON APPROVAL OF THE ZONING, THE DIFFERENT FINANCING MECHANISMS, MECHANISMS AND THEN UTILITY CAPACITY. SO THE IDEA IS THAT ALL OF THAT WOULD BE APPROVED AT THE SAME TIME, IF COUNCIL DIDN'T SUPPORT DIDN'T SUPPORT ONE OF THOSE OTHER CONDITIONS, THEN THERE LIKELY WOULD NOT BE A DESIRE FROM THE DEVELOPER TO ANNEX INTO THE CITY LIMITS. THE FINANCING MECHANISMS THAT HAVE 
          [01:00:03]
BEEN REQUESTED WOULD INCLUDE MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT WITH A 65 CENT MAXIMUM TAX RATE AND A TAX INCREMENT REINVESTMENT ZONE, WHICH WOULD COVER THE COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES ON THE SITE. STAFF HAS DEVELOPED A HAS HELPED DEVELOP A UTILITY PLAN. AND SO WASTEWATER IS OBVIOUSLY A HUGE NEED. IT'S A HUGE CONCERN FOR A SITE OF THIS SIZE. THERE WERE A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT OPTIONS THAT WE COULD LOOK AT FROM A WASTEWATER STANDPOINT. AND SO WE'VE WORKED VERY CLOSELY WITH THE TEAM ON WHAT THAT WHAT THAT SOLUTION LOOKS LIKE AND FEEL LIKE THAT'S IN A GOOD IN A GOOD SPOT. BUT IN TERMS OF FORM, THE FORMAL MUD TERM COMMENTS, TERM SHEET, COMMENTS THAT WE WOULD PROVIDE, WE HAVE NOT PROVIDED A FULL SET OF COMMENTS YET. WE WANTED TO GET THIS DISCUSSION WITH COUNCIL FIRST BECAUSE THE LAND PLAN, ESPECIALLY A LAND PLAN OF THIS SIZE, ANY CHANGES TO THAT LAND PLAN CAN CAN HAVE TRICKLE DOWN IMPACTS ON THE TERM SHEET ITSELF. AND SO WE WANTED TO HAVE THIS THIS CONVERSATION FIRST. SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE THAT, MAKE THAT CLEAR TO COUNCIL. IF YOU'RE THINKING, WELL, WHAT COMMENT HAS STAFF PROVIDED ON THE TRAFFIC IMPACTS OR THIS DRIVEWAY AT THIS LOCATION? WE HAVE NOT GOTTEN TO THAT LEVEL OF DETAIL WITH WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT AT THIS POINT IN TIME. SO AS I MENTIONED, THIS, THIS WORKSHOP WILL HELP TO BEGIN SHAPING THE LAND PLAN. AND THEN WE'LL HAVE FOLLOW UP DISCUSSIONS ON THE DETAILED AGREEMENT TERMS, PENDING CHANGES TO THE LAND PLAN AND THE CORRESPONDING CHANGES TO PROJECT COSTS. WITH THAT I'M GOING TO WELCOME UP JARRETT MINTON FROM THE ROBINSON FAMILY MANAGEMENT. LET HIM WALK THROUGH THEIR VISION. THANK YOU AND GOOD AFTERNOON. THANK YOU MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBERS AND AND STAFF FOR INVITING US HERE TODAY TO SHARE OUR VISION FOR THE FOR T PROPERTY. AS NICK SAID, MY NAME IS JARRETT MINTON. 
          I SERVE AS THE PRESIDENT AND CEO OF ROBINSON FAMILY MANAGEMENT, WHO REPRESENTS THE ROBINSON FAMILY OWNERSHIP OF THE 40 PROPERTY. WE'RE EXCITED TO BE HERE TODAY. WE'RE EXCITED AT THE PROSPECT OF BEING A PART OF THE CITY OF GEORGETOWN, REALLY, AS EVIDENCED BY OUR GOAL OF CREATING AN END CITY MUD HERE. LET ME GET THE THERE WE GO. SO RFM IS REALLY HERE TODAY IN THE CAPACITY OF OWNER, RATHER THAN THE CAPACITY OF A TRADITIONAL DEVELOPER. THE ROBINSON FAMILY HAS A STRONG ATTACHMENT TO THE LAND, AND AS AN ENGAGED AND ACTIVE OWNER, WE'VE SOUGHT TO FRAME AND SHAPE THE. THE VISION FOR WHAT 40 WILL. PROPERTY WILL BE. THIS REALLY IS A SIMILAR APPROACH TO THE ONE THAT WE'VE TAKEN WITH OUR LARGER PROPERTY, ROBINSON RANCH IN NORTH AUSTIN, AND I'LL DESCRIBE THAT IN A MOMENT IN TERMS OF HOW THOSE RELATE. IN FACT, THOSE ARE A COUPLE OF THE ADDED SLIDES THAT NICK REFERENCED. BEFORE I BEGIN, I DO WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS EFFORT TAKES A LARGE AND TALENTED TEAM, AND I'D LIKE TO RECOGNIZE A FEW OF THEM HERE TODAY. CHRIS BLACKBURN WITH WATERLOO DEVELOPMENT REALLY IS MANAGING THE OVERALL PROCESS FOR US WITH FERRIS DESIGN. WE HAVE STEFAN FERRIS HERE TODAY. 
          HE'S BEEN LEADING THE PLANNING AND DESIGN EFFORT FOR US. CHERYL ALLEN AND LINDA HUBBELL WITH PUBLIC FINANCE GROUP ARE SERVING AS OUR MUD AND FINANCE CONSULTANT. OUR LEGAL COUNSEL IS JOHN BARTRAM WITH ARBORIST AND BROWN. AND THEN ALSO WE HAVE PABLO MARTINEZ WITH MAHONEY ENGINEERING AS OUR CIVIL ENGINEER, AND THEN SEVERAL OF THE OTHER KEY MEMBERS LISTED ON THIS ON THIS SLIDE. SO AS I MENTIONED, THE 40 PROPERTY IS OWNED BY THE ROBINSON FAMILY AND THEIR LAND AND BUSINESS VENTURES IN CENTRAL TEXAS GO BACK MORE THAN A CENTURY. THE LEGACY OPERATING BUSINESS WAS THE AUSTIN WHITE LIME COMPANY, AND IT WAS FOUNDED IN 1888 IN MCNEAL, TEXAS. AND THAT REALLY WAS THE STARTING POINT FOR THE LAND AND AND RANCHING OPERATIONS THAT HAVE GROWN THROUGH SIX GENERATIONS OF FAMILY STEWARDSHIP. THROUGH THAT TIME, THE FAMILY REALLY HAS REMAINED COMMITTED TO PRESERVING THE HERITAGE OF THE LAND, WHILE INVESTING IN THE OPPORTUNITIES AND OPPORTUNITIES THAT STRENGTHEN COMMUNITIES, THE ECONOMY, AND LANDSCAPES OF CENTRAL TEXAS. AND THIS SLIDE REFLECTS THOSE VALUES. AND THEN FOR CONTEXT, THIS ILLUSTRATES THE LARGER ROBINSON RANCH PROPERTY IN NORTH AUSTIN. THIS IS AT THE. EFFECTIVELY, THE INTERSECTION OF 1245 AND MOPAC IS IN THE THE RIGHT HAND EDGE OF THAT SCREEN. THERE. THIS PROPERTY SPANS APPROXIMATELY 
          [01:05:06]
6400 ACRES. OF. NOTE THE FAMILY ENGAGED WITH THE CITY OF AUSTIN MORE THAN 20 YEARS AGO TO ESTABLISH A. THE PUD ZONING AND ENTITLEMENTS THAT GUIDE THE LONG TERM EVOLUTION OF THE RANCH. IMPORTANTLY, THAT AGREEMENT INCLUDED THE DEDICATION OF OVER 1400 ACRES OF PERMANENTLY PROTECTED OPEN SPACE AS PART OF THE RANCH, AND THAT'S ILLUSTRATED HERE BY THESE GREEN AREAS ON THE ON THE IMAGE. OVER THE YEARS, THE FAMILY HAS ENGAGED IN DESIGN AND MASTER PLANNING EFFORTS TO CONTINUE TO GUIDE THE VISION FOR HOW THE PROPERTY WILL EVOLVE. AND NOTABLY, WE'VE RECENTLY ENGAGED IN A STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP WITH ENDEAVOR REAL ESTATE GROUP, WHO REALLY IS A BEST IN CLASS PARTNER FOR THIS TO FOCUS ON A THOUGHTFUL PROCESS TO EVALUATE LONG TERM POTENTIAL OF TWO SPECIFIC, LARGER SCALE AREAS WITHIN THE RANCH, AND THOSE TOTAL OVER 1200 ACRES. SO OUR APPROACH ON THE 6400 ACRE ROBINSON RANCH PROPERTY HAS REALLY GUIDED OUR APPROACH ON 40, NAMELY THE ROBINSON'S FAMILY'S THOUGHTFUL STEWARDSHIP OF THE LAND. THIS WILL GET INTO SOME OF THE SLIDES SPECIFIC TO 40. THIS SLIDE SIMPLY ORIENTS YOU TO THE LOCATION OF THE PROPERTY AT 195, AND RONALD REAGAN WITH THE YELLOW INDICATING THE CURRENT CITY LIMITS OF GEORGETOWN. THE PROPERTY IS APPROXIMATELY 1400 ACRES. IT WAS ACQUIRED IN THE EARLY 1970S BY THE ROBINSON FAMILY. IT OPERATED AS A QUARRY FOR ALMOST 20 YEARS, AND IT'S CURRENTLY INACTIVE. AS NICK NOTED, IT IS WORTH NOTING THAT GIVEN AUSTIN WHITE LIME'S MINING OF LIMESTONE FOR CHEMICAL LIME PRODUCTION, ITS QUARRY OPERATIONS TYPICALLY WERE SOMEWHAT SHALLOWER THAN TRADITIONAL STONE OR AGGREGATE QUARRIES, WHICH FACTORS INTO THE. THE. OUR APPROACH ON ON RESHAPING THE LAND. THERE'S SIMPLY A PHOTO OF THE HISTORIC PATRICK CEMETERY, WHICH WAS RECENTLY RESTORED, AND THAT WOULD BE INCORPORATED INTO A POCKET PARK. SO AS A STARTING POINT FOR OUR SCHEMATIC DESIGN, WE LOOK TO CREATE COMMUNITY PRINCIPLES THAT REALLY WOULD GUIDE OUR APPROACH TO THE TO THE OVERALL PROJECT. AND AS YOU CAN SEE, THESE THESE COMMUNITY PRINCIPLES REALLY CLOSELY ALIGN TO THE BROADER FAMILY PRINCIPLES THAT I SHOWED ON THE EARLIER SLIDE. I WON'T BELABOR WHAT EACH OF THESE ARE. YOU HAVE THEM IN YOUR POCKET IN YOUR PACKET, BUT DO. 
          THESE HAVE GUIDED TO THE OVERALL DESIGN. THIS SLIDE ILLUSTRATES THE SITE CONSTRAINTS. GUIDED BY, FOR INSTANCE, THE EXISTING ROADWAYS, THE FLOODPLAIN, THE STREAM BUFFERS, THE FUTURE ARTERIALS, AND THE TOPOGRAPHY OF THE OF THE SITE. AS PART OF OUR PROCESS REALLY, WE ENGAGED. WE CONDUCTED EXTENSIVE LIDAR SURVEYS OF THE PROPERTY TO DEVELOP A BALANCED PLAN FOR RESHAPING THE QUARRY AND IN A WAY THAT REALLY MINIMIZES THE NEED TO BRING IN EITHER IMPORT, FILL, OR REMOVE MATERIAL. AND IN A WAY THAT ALLOWS US TO ENHANCE THE TOPOGRAPHY, PROVIDE FOR DRAINAGE, AND CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR WATER FEATURES. THIS SLIDE ILLUSTRATES THE VARIOUS ZONES THAT SPAN THE FULL LIFE CYCLE OF OF HOUSING, FOR EXAMPLE, AT THE PROPERTY, INCLUDING SINGLE FAMILY, RESIDENTIAL, HIGHER DENSITY, RESIDENTIAL MIXED USE, WHICH WOULD INCLUDE MULTIFAMILY ABOVE RETAIL AS AN EXAMPLE. 
          ALONG WITH MULTI-TENANT OFFICE FLEX AND INDUSTRIAL USES IN OTHER ZONES. WHILE THIS SLIDE BEGINS TO LAY OUT THE STREET GRID AND GIVE A SENSE OF SOME OF THE KEY ARTERIALS THROUGH THE THROUGH THE PROJECT AND THE SCALE OVERALL AND HOW THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS BEGIN TO BREAK DOWN. WHAT THIS SLIDE ALSO SHOWS IN DARK GREEN ON THE ON THE RIGHT EDGE, REALLY THE SOUTHEASTERN QUADRANT OF THE SITE IS A 15 ACRE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SITE THAT WE'VE IDENTIFIED FOR THE GERALD ISD. IN THAT PORTION OF THE PROPERTY. THIS SLIDE REALLY HIGHLIGHTS THE OVERALL GENERAL OPEN SPACE, ALONG WITH THE PARKS IN THE DARKER. IN THE DARKER GREEN. 
          AND TOGETHER, THESE TOTAL ABOUT 335 ACRES, WHICH IS ROUGHLY 24% OF THE TOTAL SITE, ACTUALLY A 
          [01:10:09]
SIMILAR PERCENTAGE AS I THINK ABOUT IT, TO WHAT OUR PROPERTY IN NORTH AUSTIN IS, AND THAT'S WELL IN EXCESS OF THE CITY REQUIREMENTS FOR FOR OPEN SPACE AND PARKS. THIS IS JUST ANOTHER WAY OF LOOKING AT THE AT THE LAYOUT IN TERMS OF THE ACREAGES OF THE INDIVIDUAL COMMUNITY DISTRICTS. AND REALLY, AS THIS ALSO STARTS TO HIGHLIGHT. AND IN FACT, THE NEXT SLIDE WILL SHOW IT EVEN BETTER THE WAY THOSE PARKS ARE INTEGRATED THROUGHOUT EACH DISTRICT, ALONG THE BOUNDARIES AND THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE VARIOUS DISTRICTS FOR THE FOR THE PROJECT. THIS SITE, THIS SLIDE SHOWS THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE DRAMATICALLY BECAUSE IT'S DARKER. BUT WHAT'S ALSO IMPORTANT IS THAT WE MADE AN EFFORT TO ENSURE THAT OPEN SPACE WAS WITHIN A FIVE MINUTE WALK OF VIRTUALLY ANY LOCATION WITHIN THE WITHIN THE PROJECT. THESE SLIDES ARE UNRELATED PROJECTS. THESE ARE NOT PROJECTS THAT WE'VE DIRECTLY BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH. BUT WHAT THEY DO IS THEY BEGIN TO ILLUSTRATE THE QUALITY AND CHARACTER OF THE SPACE THAT WE WOULD EXPECT TO SEE AT AT 40. AND I'D SAY, PARTICULARLY IN THE SENSE OF OPEN SPACE PARKS, WATER FEATURES AND TRAIL NETWORKS, THESE ARE ALL ELEMENTS THAT WE'VE INTEGRATED INTO THE OVERALL PLAN. AND I'D SAY THAT IN TERMS OF OVERALL QUALITY, WE WOULD ENSURE THAT ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS OBVIOUSLY MEET OR EXCEED CITY REQUIREMENTS. AND IN ALL INSTANCES, WE REALLY WOULD LOOK TO ALIGN WITH BUILDERS OR COMPONENT DEVELOPERS WHO ARE CREATING THE HIGHEST QUALITY PRODUCT. AND WITH RESPECT TO, TO RESIDENTIAL COMPONENTS REALLY TARGETING MOVE UP BUYERS AT THE AT THE PROJECT. AND THAT'S I HAD A COUPLE OF ADDITIONAL SLIDES, BUT THOSE DIDN'T MAKE IT INTO THIS. THEY SIMPLY ILLUSTRATED THE, THE EXTENT OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE REQUIRED BOTH FOR WATER AND WASTEWATER. NICK SPOKE TO THAT. 
          BUT THAT GIVES A BROAD OVERVIEW OF, OF OUR FOCUS AND OUR GOALS AND HOW WE'VE TAKEN THE EXPERIENCE THAT WE'VE BUILT AND GAINED WITH OUR PROJECT IN AUSTIN AND ARE APPLYING IT HERE FOR, FOR THE 40 PROJECT TO SHAPE AND FRAME THE VISION FOR THE LONG TERM. AND I REALLY, I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO, TO BEEN ABLE TO PRESENT THIS TO YOU. AS NICK NOTED, WE HAVE TOURED STAFF THROUGH THE PROJECT IN THE PAST. I'D WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO TO TOUR THE MAYOR OR COUNCIL MEMBERS. ANY WHO ARE INTERESTED. WE CAN ABSOLUTELY SET THAT UP BECAUSE PICTURES DON'T ALWAYS DO THE PROJECT JUSTICE OR THE LAND JUSTICE. IN TERMS OF UNDERSTANDING THE LAND, ITS TOPOGRAPHY AND THE SCALE OF IT. AND I JUST I'D LIKE TO CLOSE BY REITERATING THE ROBINSON FAMILY'S COMMITMENT TO BE GOOD STEWARDS OF THE LAND AND TO SUPPORT HIGH QUALITY, LONG TERM DEVELOPMENT. WE'VE WORKED TO ESTABLISH STRONG AND ENDURING RELATIONSHIPS WITH WITH STAFF AND ELECTED OFFICIALS WITHIN ALL THE COMMUNITIES THAT THAT WE OWN IN AND THAT WE'RE PART OF. AND WE REALLY LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH THE CITY OF GEORGETOWN AND THE STAFF IN BRINGING THIS PROJECT FORWARD. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH. AND I'LL HAND IT BACK TO NICK AND AVAILABLE TO ADDRESS ANY QUESTIONS. OKAY. I THINK I'VE GOT A COUPLE SLIDES AND THEN WE'LL TAKE ANY ANY QUESTIONS THAT COUNCIL HAS. I WANTED TO START THE PRESENTATION BY HITTING ON SOME OF THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT THIS BRINGS, BECAUSE I, I DIDN'T WANT TO NECESSARILY I'VE GOT SOME INITIAL KEY ISSUES IDENTIFIED, BUT DON'T WANT DON'T WANT THAT TO MEAN THAT WE THAT STAFF DOESN'T SEE THE, THE, THE POTENTIAL FOR THIS SITE, THE INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY THIS IS. AND ACTUALLY LOOKING, LOOKING THROUGH OUR COMP PLAN GOALS. I THINK THIS SITE PRESENTS PROBABLY MORE OPPORTUNITY TO HIT ON A NUMBER OF OUR COMP PLAN GOALS AND MAYBE ANY OTHER SITE IN THE CITY. SO IT IS AN INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY. WE'VE TAKEN A LOOK AT JUST SOME INITIAL KEY ISSUES, AND AGAIN, THERE ARE OTHER THINGS WE WOULD NEED TO DIG THROUGH AS THIS, AS WE AS WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS. 
          BUT JUST SOME OF THE INITIAL KEY ISSUES THAT ARE IDENTIFIED. ONE IS JUST THE LAND PLAN. AS 
          [01:15:01]
YOU SAW, IT INCLUDES A COMBINATION OF OF FAIRLY INTENSE USES AND THEN BROAD FLEXIBILITY IN TERMS OF THE LOCATION BLEND AND AMOUNT OF THOSE USES. SO JUST TRYING TO, YOU KNOW, UNDERSTAND FROM, FROM COUNCIL AS WE GET INTO YOUR FEEDBACK, YOU KNOW, THE ACCEPTABILITY OF, OF THOSE INTENSITY OF USES. AND THEN KIND OF THE, THE AMOUNT OF FLEXIBILITY THAT'S WOULD BE ALLOWED WITH, WITH ALL THOSE USES. ON THE FLIP SIDE, THE, THE SINGLE FAMILY PORTION THAT YOU SAW IS, IS GENERALLY REFLECTS THE LOT DIVERSITY THAT COUNCIL HAS, HAS SOUGHT. THERE'S QUITE A BIT OF QUITE A BIT OF DIVERSITY THAT WAS WITHIN THE SINGLE FAMILY PORTION OF THE, THE OF THE PLAN. SECOND, THE, THE MUD MAXIMUM TAX RATE, IT DOES EXCEED COUNCIL'S POLICY MAXIMUM, WHICH IS $0.55 FOR AN IN-CITY MUD, I WOULD SAY SIMILAR TO THE YEARWOOD PROJECT, WHICH COUNCIL DID APPROVE $0.65 FOR, AND PROBABLY EVEN MORE SO DUE TO THE PROXIMITY TO WASTEWATER SERVICE. IF YOU RECALL, YEARWOOD WAS ALMOST RIGHT NEXT TO A FUTURE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT. THIS SITE HAS A MUCH LONGER RUN, SO IT WILL ACTUALLY FEED DOWN TO THE THREE FORKS WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT OFF FM 971. SO THERE'S SOME SIGNIFICANT INFRASTRUCTURE THAT'S NEEDED. SO DUE TO THAT, AND THEN JUST AGAIN, SOME OF THE OTHER CONSTRAINTS, YOU'VE GOT A QUARRY THAT ADDS SOME ADDS, ADDS TO SOME COSTS. I THINK THERE ARE A NUMBER OF FACTORS THAT INCREASE PROJECT DEVELOPMENT COSTS THAT WOULD THAT WOULD POTENTIALLY WARRANT GOING ABOVE THE COUNCIL POLICY MAXIMUM FOR THE MUD TAX RATE TO FULFILL THE PROJECT FINANCE NEEDS AND KEEP THE MUD TAX RATE MODERATED. A TOURS HAS BEEN REQUESTED FOR THE FOR THE PROJECT. THIS IS UNIQUE VERSUS OTHER MUD REQUESTS. I DON'T THINK IN MY TIME THAT HASN'T BEEN A PROPOSAL THAT'S COME FORWARD. AND HONESTLY, IT HASN'T REALLY BEEN NEEDED FOR ANY OF THE OTHER PROJECTS, SO THAT IS UNIQUE. HOWEVER, I WOULD SAY FOR A LARGE MIXED USE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SIZE, IF JUST THAT PORTION OF THE DEVELOPMENT CAME IN AS A PROPOSAL, A TERS TO FUND INFRASTRUCTURE WOULD NOT BE AN ABNORMAL REQUEST. THE FOURTH ITEM. SO MOST OF THE PARKLAND THAT YOU SAW, AND THERE IS A LOT OF OPEN SPACE SHOWN, WHICH IS GREAT. MOST OF IT THAT'S CURRENTLY SHOWN IS IS MORE PASSIVE IN USE. AND AS CURRENTLY PRESENTED IS FAIRLY LIMITED JUST IN TERMS OF THE DETAILS OF WHAT WHAT THE IMPROVEMENTS WOULD INCLUDE IN LOOKING AT THIS AREA. SO WE ASKED ERIC AND HIS TEAM TO LOOK AT THE PARKS, PARKS AND REC MASTER PLAN. OF COURSE, SINCE THIS AREA WAS MINING, THIS REALLY WASN'T AN AREA THAT WAS LOOKED AT IN THE REC MASTER PLAN. SO THEY'VE KIND OF LOOKED AT AND WE AND WE'VE BEEN LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW, WHAT ARE THE REGIONAL PARKLAND NEEDS ON THE WEST SIDE OF GEORGETOWN? WE HAVE THE WEST SIDE PARK THAT'S IDENTIFIED. IT DOES HAVE SOME CONSTRAINTS IN TERMS OF DEVELOPMENT. BEYOND THAT, WE DON'T HAVE A LARGE PIECE OF LAND FOR REGIONAL PARKLAND NEEDS. AND SO THIS THIS SITE DOES PRESENT A PRETTY IDEAL OPPORTUNITY FOR SOME ADDITIONAL REGIONAL PARKLAND. AND I THINK AS AS OUR TEAM LOOKED AT IT, THIS WOULD BE KIND OF AN IDEAL LOCATION FOR POTENTIAL OF HAVING ADDITIONAL SOCCER FIELDS ON THE, ON THE WESTERN SIDE OF GEORGETOWN. THE FIFTH THING THAT'S BEEN NOTED IS A TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS WILL BE WILL DEFINITELY BE AN IMPORTANT THING TO, TO HAVE COMPLETED ONCE THERE'S MORE CERTAINTY WITH, WITH THE LAND PLAN, JUST TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE THE NECESSARY TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS. THERE ARE FUTURE MOBILITY PLAN ROADS SHOWN IN THIS AREA. THEY'VE INCORPORATED THAT INTO THEIR LAND PLAN. I THINK JUST AS WE KNOW MORE ABOUT THE SITE, IT'LL JUST BE IMPORTANT FOR US TO DIG INTO THE, THE TRAFFIC IMPACTS OF OF THE DEVELOPMENT. IN TERMS OF THE, THE PROCESS MOVING FORWARD. SO WE'RE HERE TODAY WITH THE INITIAL DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL BEING PRESENTED TO COUNCIL. FROM HERE, ONCE WE ONCE WE GET YOUR FEEDBACK, HAVE ANY QUESTIONS THAT WE CAN ANSWER, WE'LL COME BACK WITH A FOLLOW UP COUNCIL WORKSHOP HERE IN THE NEAR FUTURE. ONCE COUNCIL. IF COUNCIL GIVES AND ONCE COUNCIL GIVES THE GO AHEAD FOR SUPPORT ON THE PROJECT, WE'LL MOVE INTO THE MUD AND TOURS, TERM SHEET NEGOTIATIONS AND FINALIZING THOSE BASED ON THE COUNCIL AND STAFF FEEDBACK. AND THEN WE'LL WE'LL HAVE THE DEVELOPER SUBMIT AND MOVE THROUGH THE PROCESS OF THEIR ANNEXATION AND ZONING, AND WE WILL BRING ALL THAT 
          [01:20:05]
TOGETHER FOR ONE APPROVAL. SO WE'LL HAVE THE MUD CONSENT TOURS CREATION, IF THAT'S SUPPORTED, AND THEN ADOPTION OF ALL THAT WILL HAPPEN AT THE SAME TIME AS THE ANNEXATION AND THE PUD ZONING THAT ALL HAPPEN ON ONE MEETING. WITH THAT STAFF IS SEEKING COUNCIL'S INITIAL FEEDBACK ON THE PROPOSED 40 RANCH DEVELOPMENT AND THE REQUESTED IN CITY MUD AND TOURS. 
          ON THE SCREEN, YOU SEE YOU SEE SOME OF THE FEEDBACK THAT WE'RE REQUESTING. FIRST IS WHAT INITIAL FEEDBACK DOES COUNCIL HAVE ON THE PROPOSED LAND PLAN AND PARKS AND OPEN SPACE PLAN FOR THE DEVELOPMENT? ARE YOU OPEN TO CONSIDERATION OF A OF A MUD AND TOURS TO HELP BRING THE DEVELOPMENT INTO CITY LIMITS AND FINANCE THEIR PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE? AND THEN WHAT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION DO YOU NEED TO HELP IN MAKING A DECISION ON THIS REQUEST? AND WHAT QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE THAT STAFF OR THE DEVELOPER CAN CAN TRY AND ANSWER TONIGHT OR COME BACK WITH ANSWERS TO AT A FOLLOW UP COUNCIL WORKSHOP? AWESOME. WOULD YOU BE OKAY IF I STARTED ON THIS ONE JUST BECAUSE I GOT SOME THOUGHTS? SO ONE OBVIOUSLY REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS PROJECT. THANK YOU GUYS FOR WILLING TO, YOU KNOW, PURSUE AN IN CITY MUD, WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY VERY IMPORTANT TO US. AND SO WE APPRECIATE THAT. JUST A COUPLE OF THE FEEDBACKS I HAD. 
          ONE IS THINKING AHEAD ABOUT POTENTIAL TAX EXEMPT USES WITHIN THE DISTRICT. AND ONE KIND OF WHAT WE'VE SEEN KIND OF ON THE BAD SIDE, BUT ON THE OTHER SIDE WITH THIS SITE BEING, YOU KNOW, SUCH A GREAT LOCATION, I COULD FORESEE, YOU KNOW, NONPROFIT HOSPITALS, YOU KNOW, PRIVATE HIGHER ED, I MEAN, SOME, SOME REALLY GREAT THINGS ON THIS AND BEING ABLE TO KIND OF THINK THROUGH HOW THAT'S GOING TO IMPACT MUD AND TOURS. AND, BUT IF THERE'S A WAY TO DO THAT, IF WE KNOW ON THE FRONT END THAT WE, WE WANT SOME OF THOSE USES IN HERE AND JUST MAKING SURE THAT WE CAN FIND WAYS TO MAKE THAT WORK FINANCIALLY. SECOND THING I WOULD SAY IS ON THE PARKS AND REC PIECE, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I'VE SAID THIS BEFORE, BUT I'LL SAY IT AGAIN, YOU KNOW, I THINK IN THE LONG TERM, OUR ABILITY TO GO BUILD OUT REALLY NICE REGIONAL PARKS IS GOING TO BE DIMINISHED IN THE LONG RUN. AND SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN HEARING FROM THE DEVELOPER IS IF THERE'S A WAY TO GO WORK WITH PRIVATE, POTENTIALLY EVEN FOR PROFIT FOLKS TO BUILD OUT THE TYPES OF FACILITIES, WHETHER THAT'S SOCCER FIELDS OR, YOU KNOW, PRIVATE REC CENTER, THAT WE GET THE SAME SORT OF AMENITIES IN THAT AREA, TO BE BLUNT, WITHOUT US HAVING TO PAY FOR THEM. AND IF THEY'RE PRIVATE USERS THAT THINK THEY CAN GO RUN SPORTS PROGRAMS, YOU KNOW, EASIER THAN WE CAN GO BUILD THAT STUFF OUT AND HOW LONG IT'S GOING TO TAKE US TO GO BUILD SOMETHING LIKE THAT OUT. WHEN I'M LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW, OUR CIP PLAN FOR THE NEXT DECADE, THE OTHER THING IS I'M FINE ON THE RATE I THINK THAT THAT'S, YOU KNOW, IT'S A CAP. IT'S NOT, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE GOING TO TRY TO GET IT IN LOWER. I KNOW, SO 65 IS IS FINE FOR ME FOR A CAP. AND THEN YOU KNOW I'M FINE WITH GIVING THEM A LOT OF FLEXIBILITY IN THE MUD AND THE TOURS DOCKS. AND THEN WE CAN NARROW THAT DOWN IN THE PUD. I MEAN, THERE'S SOMEWHAT, YOU KNOW, NEGOTIATING ALL THE MUD AND TOURS AT THE RISK THAT WE DON'T GET TO THE ACTUAL LAND USE AGREEMENT IN THE PUD. BUT BUT I THINK WHERE THIS IS HEADED, WE'RE HEADED IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. AND SO WE CAN NARROW IT DOWN ONCE WE GET TO, TO THE DOC. SO THAT'S MY INPUT. I'LL START START ON MY LEFT THIS TIME. SURE. YEAH. THANKS FOR THE PRESENTATION. AND AGAIN, MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT LIKE THIS REALLY IS SOMETHING I LOVE TO SEE. SO I COMPLETELY SUPPORT AN IDEA LIKE THIS. I GUESS THE QUESTION IS IN TERMS OF LOCKING IT DOWN UNDER THE PUD TO MAKE SURE IT IS JUST LIKE MAYOR WAS SAYING, SOMETHING DEVELOPED THE WAY WE'RE BEING PRESENTED TO HERE. I THINK. NICK, QUESTION TO YOU IN TERMS OF THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE SEEN A TOURS INSIDE OF A MUD, IS THAT TO BRING DOWN THE THE RATE FOR THE MUD, OR IS IT JUST BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO BE A COMMERCIAL DISTRICT THAT TO CAPTURE TAX BACK OR WHAT IS THE IDEA THERE. SO IN THIS CASE, I THINK IT'S TO. IT WOULD BE TO MODERATE THE THE MUD TAX RATE. SO I THINK THE LOOKING AT THEIR DEVELOPMENT COSTS AND LOOKING AT THEIR PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE COSTS, THEY WOULD NEED MORE THAN A 65 CENT TAX RATE. SO IT'S IT'S A DIFFERENT WAY TO TRY AND GET TO THAT WITHOUT INCREASING THAT MUD TAX RATE TOO HIGH THAT THAT BECOMES, YOU KNOW, JUST A, A NUMBER THAT'S HONESTLY JUST JUST TOO HIGH. SO IT'S A WAY TO KIND OF BALANCE IT AND UNDERSTAND THAT A TOURS IS NOT AN ABNORMAL THING THAT'S BEEN USED FOR COMMERCIAL TYPES OF DEVELOPMENT IN OTHER AREAS. 
          SO IT WAS KIND OF A WAY TO MEET THE FINANCE NEEDS IN A WAY THAT KIND OF KIND OF MAKES SENSE 
          [01:25:06]
WITHOUT OVERBURDENING THE RESIDENTIAL. SORRY, I WAS THINKING TOO. I MEAN, IF YOU KIND OF LOOK AT IT AS TWO DIFFERENT DEVELOPMENTS AND THEY WERE WALKING IN WITH THE PURELY COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT PIECE OF IT AND ASKING FOR TOURS, WE WOULD BE LIKE, YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. 
          THAT'S A PRIME CANDIDATE FOR A TOURS, YOU KNOW, JUST BECAUSE IT HAPPENS TO BE COMBINED WITH THE RESIDENTIAL SEEMS TO MAKE SENSE, I DON'T KNOW. AND THE OTHER THING TO THINK THROUGH IS BALANCING THE CITY SERVICE, YOU KNOW, SERVICES AND COST OF CITY SERVICES. SO WHILE NOT HAVING THE, THE TOURS OVER THE RESIDENTIAL PORTION ALLOWS US TO BE ABLE TO NOT SUBSIDIZE RESIDENTIAL IN ORDER BECAUSE WE STILL HAVE TO PROVIDE SERVICES. AND THAT'S, THAT'S, YOU KNOW, POLICE AND FIRE AND ALL OF THOSE SERVICES. SO THERE'S A DIFFERENT COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS THAT'S DONE ON THE COMMERCIAL SIDE, ALLOWS FOR TOURS TO BE PROBABLY MORE VIABLE FROM A CITY PERSPECTIVE IN TERMS OF A, OF, OF COST TO SERVICE FOR THAT COMMERCIAL AND THE TAX BENEFIT THAT THEY BRING TO THE CITY AND ROOM TO, TO HAVE SOME TYPE OF TOURISM AS AN INSTRUMENT TO PAY FOR PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE. OTHER THAN THAT, AGAIN, TO MAYOR'S POINT, LOOKING AT WAYS TO GET PRIVATE ENTITIES TO DEVELOP PARKS OUT THERE WOULD BE GREAT. BUT EITHER WAY, I SUPPORT WHAT YOU'RE DOING HERE, AND I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING IT MOVE THROUGH. THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. I DO HAVE A COUPLE OF COMMENTS, AND MAYBE 1 OR 2 QUESTIONS IS CERTAINLY OBVIOUS TO ME THAT THE ROBINSON FAMILY HAS A HISTORY OF GOOD DEVELOPMENT AND A GOOD HISTORY OF STEWARDSHIP. IT'S ALSO CLEAR TO ME, AS A SUN CITY RESIDENT, THAT COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT ALONG 195 IS A MUST FOR THE FUTURE, AND YOU'VE GOT COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT PROPERTY OUTLINED IN THIS PARTICULAR OUTLINE. I'VE OFTEN SAID THAT IF WE CAN TURN RIGHT ON THE WILLIAMS DRIVE COMING OUT OF DEL WEBB AND FIND COMMERCIAL, AND WE'RE NOW BEGINNING TO SEE THAT IF THE DAY COMES WHEN WE SEE COMMERCIAL ON 195, THAT'S GOING TO BE HEALTHY AS WELL FOR RESIDENTS. I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION, MR. MINTON. HOW MANY APARTMENTS CURRENTLY IS THERE A IS IS THERE ANY KNOWLEDGE YET OF HOW MANY APARTMENTS MIGHT BE IN THIS PROJECT? WELL, WHAT THE WHAT THE PLAN WOULD ALLOW FOR IS UP TO 5000 THROUGH, YOU KNOW, OVER THE EXTENDED, YOU KNOW, TERM OF, OF THE DEVELOPMENT, 5000 APARTMENTS OR 5000 RESIDENTS. OH, UNITS, UNITS. 
          OKAY. I WAS SPECIFICALLY ASKING ABOUT APARTMENTS. OH, INDIVIDUAL PROJECTS. YEAH. THAT, THAT WOULD DEPEND UPON HOW THE, HOW THE PLAN ULTIMATELY BUILDS OUT BECAUSE YOU COULD HAVE SOME THAT ARE THAT ARE, YOU KNOW, MUCH MORE MODEST IN SCALE, YOU KNOW, A COUPLE OF HUNDRED UNITS AND THEN YOU COULD HAVE SOME THAT ARE, YOU KNOW, 400 UNITS LOOKING AT THE SLIDES OR THE PONDS ALREADY THERE OR THE WATER. NO, THEY'RE NOT, THEY'RE NOT THERE YET. BUT THAT'S I DRIVE BY THERE AND I DON'T IT'S TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE TOPOGRAPHY AND THE TOPOGRAPHY. 
          ONCE ONCE THE QUARRIES RESHAPED. YEAH. THE OTHER THING I WOULD SAY, AND I ECHO OTHERS THAT THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO WORK COLLECTIVELY TOGETHER. AND FRANKLY, I'D LIKE TO SET UP A TOUR OF THE RANCH AT SOME POINT. I WOULDN'T MIND DRIVING DOWN IN THERE OR RIDING DOWN IN THERE. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. THAT. OVERALL, I'M VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE PROJECT. I THINK IT ADDRESSES A LOT OF THE CORE ISSUES THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR. 
          AS FAR AS MODERATE GOES, I DON'T REALLY HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THAT. I REALIZE YOU'RE DEALING WITH A QUARRY, NOT THE EASIEST PROPERTY TO DEVELOP. YOU'VE GOT A LONG PULL FROM THE WATER TREATMENT PLANT. THAT'S UNDERSTANDABLE. INITIALLY, WHEN THE TOURISM MENTIONED I WASN'T CRAZY ABOUT THAT. BUT THE MORE I THINK ABOUT IT, IF IT'S LIMITED TO CERTAIN COMMERCIAL AREAS, I COULD PROBABLY COME AROUND TO THAT. AND IT MAKES SENSE THAT IF YOU LOOK AT IT FROM A COMMERCIAL SIDE AND A RESIDENTIAL SIDE, YEAH, WE PROBABLY HAVE NO PROBLEM ON THE COMMERCIAL SIDE. I GUESS I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE SPECIFICITY IN THE TWO SECTIONS THAT ARE ON THE NORTH EAST KIND OF AREA OF THE HAS SAYS MULTI-TENANT OFFICE INDUSTRIAL FLEX. I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY THAT'S ALL THE ABOVE. IF WE COULD SEE A LITTLE BIT MORE SPECIFICITY ON WHAT MIGHT THAT BE, YOU KNOW, OR LIMIT IT DOWN, YOU KNOW, TO A COUPLE OF THOSE THAT WOULD MAKE ME FEEL A LITTLE BIT BETTER AS TO WHAT WE'RE APPROVING AND WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT THERE. THE AREAS IN GRAY. IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE. YEAH, THE TWO AREAS OF GRAY. AND I KNOW THOSE ARE OBVIOUSLY THE CORE AREAS. SO IT'S HARD FOR YOU TO PIN DOWN. YOU'RE WANTING TO GIVE YOURSELVES THE MOST FLEXIBILITY. AND I UNDERSTAND THAT. BUT AT THE SAME TIME, IT'D BE HELPFUL FOR US TO SEE OR AT LEAST ELIMINATE A FEW SO THAT WE'RE NOT APPROVING EVERYTHING. AND THEN, YOU KNOW, THIS IS MY PERSONAL PREFERENCE, IDEALLY ALONG THE NORTHERN SIDE. 
          [01:30:06]
195 YOU KNOW, I WOULD NOT RATHER SEE APARTMENTS GOING SUPER HIGH RIGHT ALONG THE ROAD. 
          THAT'S JUST MY PERSONAL PREFERENCE. BUT THAT'S ALL I HAD. IN THE PRESENTATION WHEN I FIRST LOOKED AT IT. THE BROAD LAND USE ON SOME OF THE AREAS I WAS, WE USUALLY SEE IT MORE NAILED DOWN. KIND OF WHAT DOUG WAS SAYING. HOWEVER, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE THE ANTICIPATED BUILD OUT OF SOMETHING LIKE THIS WOULD BE. BUT MARKET CHANGES, DEMAND CHANGES. I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY YOU DON'T HAVE TO COME BACK EVERY OTHER YEAR ASKING FOR AN AMENDMENT BECAUSE, HEY, THIS TURNS OUT THESE TYPE OF BUSINESSES ARE GOING OUT OF BUSINESS AND THIS ISN'T GOING TO WORK ANYMORE, JUST MAKING SOMETHING UP. BUT ON THE, THE GRAY AREAS, THE INDUSTRIAL PIECE WAS A LITTLE CONCERNING. 8 MILLION POTENTIAL GROSS YIELD OF 8,000,000 SQUARE FOOT. WELL, I'M SURE IT'S NOT YOUR PLAN OR INTENT TO HAVE 8,000,000FT■!S OF TILT WALL CONCRETE BUILDINGS OUT THERE. THAT'S JUST INDUSTRIAL PARK RIGHT ON THE ENTRY AND MAIN ROAD OR HIGHWAYS THERE. BUT I GUESS COULD IF YOU COULD, COULD YOU EXPLAIN YOUR VISION? I WAS A LITTLE SURPRISED ALSO. AND YOU GUYS KNOW BETTER THAN I DO. I LOOK AT A LOT OF THESE, BUT YOU ALL ARE ACTUALLY DOING THEM. I WAS THINKING THE RETAIL AND THAT TYPE OF USE WOULD BE MORE OUT ON THE FRONTAGE OF THE MAJOR ROADWAYS VERSUS KIND OF PUSHED INTO THE INTO THE DEVELOPMENT. 
          CAN YOU JUST TALK THROUGH YOUR YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE LAYOUT OF THE LAND PLAN? YES. AND, AND I WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY ALSO TO RESPOND TO COUNCIL MEMBER NOBLES SIMILAR COMMENT, WHICH OUR FOCUS ON EACH COMPONENT IS GOING IS GOING TO BE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE, WE WOULD BE PICKING OUR NEIGHBORS. RIGHT. AND SO WE WANT TO ENSURE THAT EVERY SINGLE COMPONENT IS ADDITIVE TO THE, TO THE ENTIRE PROJECT AND SUPPORTS THE PROJECT AND DRIVES VALUE TO THAT. SO WE WILL, WE, WE, OR THOSE WE PARTNER WITH WOULD BE VERY FOCUSED ON ENSURING THE PROPER SCALE THAT YOU'RE NOT, YOU KNOW, HAVING INAPPROPRIATE SCALE UP AGAINST MAJOR ARTERIALS THAT YOU DON'T HAVE LARGE INDUSTRIAL BACKING UP TO RESIDENTIAL. AS AN EXAMPLE, THESE AREAS OF, OF COMMERCIAL MULTI-TENANT OFFICE FLEX AND INDUSTRIAL. THE VIEW IS THAT, AGAIN, AS YOU MENTIONED, OVER TIME, THE MARKET SHIFTS AND EVOLVES. AND SO I COULD FORESEE ELEMENTS OF THAT MIGRATING TOWARDS RETAIL OR SMALLER SCALE COMMERCIAL, YOU KNOW, BUT THERE WILL BE AREAS WHERE, YOU KNOW, FLEX OR INDUSTRIAL INTEGRATED INTO IT MAY BE APPROPRIATE. I CAN TELL YOU THAT PART OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IN NORTH AUSTIN IS FOCUSED ON SOME USES THAT WHILE THEY'RE YOU MIGHT THINK OF THEM AS AS INDUSTRIAL IN THE BIG PICTURE, THEY'RE AT A MUCH HIGHER STANDARD OF FINISH AND REALLY FOCUSED ON PLACEMAKING. AND THOSE BECOME EMPLOYMENT CENTERS FOR HIGH, HIGH INCOME JOBS THAT THEN DRIVE THE ACTIVITY IN YOUR ADJOINING ELEMENTS AND HELP DRIVE, YOU KNOW, CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR RESIDENTS, ETC. IS IT ALSO FROM A BUILDING STANDARDS STANDPOINT, THE INDUSTRIAL ZONING TYPE, THE BUILDING STANDARDS, THE INDUSTRIAL ZONING ALLOWS? NOT THAT THIS IS ZONING, I UNDERSTAND, BUT IT ALLOWS FOR MORE. THAT'S WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR. INTENSE CONSTRUCTION, BIGGER BUILDINGS, LARGER. YOU KNOW, THE THE SETBACKS, THE HEIGHT, THE IS IT IS IT THAT THAT YOU WOULD NEED MAYBE IT WOULDN'T BE AN INDUSTRIAL USE AS MUCH AS YOU NEED THE BUILDING STANDARDS MORE SO OR A COMBINATION. I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE, WE LOOK AT AND LOOK AT IN THE CONTEXT OF, OF THE PUD AND ENTITLEMENT PIECE OF THIS AS WELL. OKAY. BECAUSE I THINK YOU PUT A BUNCH OF MAJOR INDUSTRIAL THERE THAT'S VERY INTENSE, WHICH WOULD PROBABLY HURT THE REST OF YOUR DEVELOPMENT SEEING THAT THE REST OF THE VISION. SO I'D IMAGINE YOU WOULD NOT WANT TO, TO DO THAT. NICK. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAD THOUGHTS ON WOULD BE WE WOULD BE SENSITIVE TO WHAT THE FRONT DOOR IS. YEAH, ABSOLUTELY, I GET IT. WELL, WHILE YOU'RE STILL UP HERE REAL QUICK, ONE THING I'M PASSIONATE ABOUT TRYING TO GET US TO HAVE MORE IS SPORTS FIELDS. SO NICK MENTIONED THE SOCCER FIELDS. BUT YOU KNOW, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THE NEXT NEXT PHASE OF OUR RENOVATION OF OUR SAN GABRIEL PARK. THERE'S BASEBALL FIELDS THERE. AND IF YOU'RE MY AGE AND YOU GREW UP IN GEORGETOWN, WHICH I DID NOT, I'VE HEARD THIS SECOND HAND. 
          YOU PLAYED ON THE SAME BASEBALL FIELDS THAT THE KIDS ARE PLAYING ON TODAY, AND THERE'S NOT BEEN ANY NEW FIELDS BUILT. SO ANYTHING YOU COULD THINK OF INTEGRATING ANY KIND OF YOUTH 
          [01:35:03]
SPORTS INTO THIS, I THINK WOULD BE GREAT. WE NEED MORE OF THAT. I KNOW THIS IS A LONG WAY OUT STILL, BUT AS WE CONTINUE TO GROW, WE'LL NEED MORE. WE NEED MORE ALREADY TODAY. BUT YOU KNOW, IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WORKED FOR YOU ALL AND COULD INTEGRATE INTO, I THINK THAT IT WOULD BE HUGE VALUE TO THE CHILDREN OF GEORGETOWN, IF NOTHING ELSE. WE'VE WE'VE HEARD THAT COMMENT AND WE WILL BE LOOKING AT IT. GREAT, GREAT. WHAT DO YOU THINK THE THE BUILD OUT OF SOMETHING LIKE THIS IS? OBVIOUSLY, IT'S NOT APPROVED RIGHT NOW. YOU'RE LIKE, ONCE YOU START TURNING DIRT AND YOU START WORKING, IS THIS A 30 YEAR BUILD OUT? POTENTIALLY? I MEAN, FROM FROM START TO FINISH, POTENTIALLY, YOU KNOW, TO FULL DENSITY? YEAH, EXACTLY. YEAH. 
          YOU KNOW, MARKET THERE'S A LOT OF VARIABLES, I GET IT. AND YOU HIT A CRITICAL MASS AT SOME POINT WHERE, WHERE THEN YOU'RE FILLING IN AROUND THE EDGES. BUT I CAN THINK OF MULTIPLE PROJECTS IN THE REGION THAT, YOU KNOW, HAVE A VERY LONG TIMELINE, BUT BY THE TIME THEY GET TO, YOU KNOW, A 10 OR 15 YEAR MARK, THEY FEEL VERY COMPLETE AND, AND THEN ARE FILLING IN AND EVOLVING FROM THERE. WELL, YOU'LL HAVE, YOU'LL HAVE CYCLES, YOU'LL GO THROUGH, YOU MAY HAVE A FIVE YEAR PERIOD WHERE YOU HAVE A WHOLE BUNCH, AND THEN YOU MAY HAVE A FIVE YEAR PERIOD WHERE THERE'S NOT AS MUCH DONE. SO. CORRECT. OKAY. WELL, THANK YOU FOR THAT, NICK. A COUPLE THINGS ON THE ON THE MUD. WOULD IT BE THIS IS MORE ADMINISTRATION, PROBABLY MORE COST AS WELL. BUT FOR SOMETHING OF THIS SIZE, HAVEN'T HAD THE TOURS IN. WOULD IT MAKE SENSE OR BE POSSIBLE TO LOOK AT DOING MORE THAN ONE MUD ON THIS? DO TWO MUDS ON THIS ONE. THAT WAS OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT WHERE THERE. PROBABLY THERE WOULD BE MORE THAN ONE MUD. THERE WOULD BE MORE. OKAY. YEAH, I THINK THAT'S YEAH, PROBABLY FOR MUDS. 
          FOR MUDS, YOU TELL ME. SO YEAH. WHICH IS, WHICH WE DID CONTEMPLATE EVEN ON THE EVEN ON THE YEARWOOD PROJECT, THERE WAS MORE THAN ONE MUD CONTEMPLATED. PART OF THE REASON, EVEN AT A STAFF LEVEL THAT WE ARE SUPPORTIVE OF THAT IS THAT KEEPS THE, AGAIN, LIKE THE FIRST PERSON WHO MOVES INTO THE DEVELOPMENT, POTENTIALLY IT BRINGS DOWN THEIR LONG TERM COSTS. SO THEY'RE NOT PAYING FOR THE INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE PERSON THAT MOVES IN 25 YEARS FROM NOW. BUT LEAVING THAT ASIDE, I THINK IT'LL IT WILL REQUIRE MORE. OKAY. AND THE WE WILL BE LOOKING AT THE BOUNDARY OF THE TOURS AS WE GO FORWARD. YOU'RE NOT SAYING NECESSARILY IT'S THE WHOLE THING OR NOTHING. IT'S WE WILL LOOK AT POTENTIAL BOUNDARIES ON THAT. RIGHT. AND AGAIN, I THINK, YOU KNOW, PART OF THE PART OF THE DEAL WITH THE MUD AND TOURS IS, IS THEY'RE LOOKING AT A LOT OF UNKNOWNS ON THEIR SIDE. SO I THINK IN THERE'S THE POTENTIAL DOWN THE ROAD THAT THINGS GO A CERTAIN WAY, THINGS ARE SUCCESSFUL, THE ACTUAL DEVELOPMENT COSTS MAYBE ARE LOWER THAN ANTICIPATED. AND MAYBE THE TOURS ISN'T NEEDED OR THE TOURS CAN HELP BRING DOWN THE MUD. I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF THAT POSSIBILITY IN THE FUTURE. IT'S JUST IT'S SUCH A BIG PROJECT THAT WE'RE SEEING HOW THAT WOULD PLAY OUT. IT WOULD BE TOUGH TODAY. I THINK LOOKING AT THE BOUNDARIES OR ALSO REVIEWING THE SPLIT ON THAT TOURS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE WE ARE COLLECTING SOMETHING BACK STILL TO HELP COVER SERVICES CITYWIDE. THE. ONE OF MY COMMENTS AND EVERYTHING ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS OR IS ANYTHING THAT'S OUTSTANDING THAT I DIDN'T ANSWER. I DON'T THINK SO. AND I DON'T REMEMBER IF JARED HIT OR NOT. BUT I THINK PART OF TWO ON THE RETAIL SIDE IS, YOU KNOW, THERE'S NOT A LAKE THERE TODAY, BUT THERE WILL BE MORE OF A LAKE AND, YOU KNOW, BUILD OUT OF AMENITIES AROUND THIS AREA. AND SO I THINK PART OF THE IDEA OF HAVING, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, HAVING RETAIL HERE AND MORE OF A, MORE OF A, FOR LACK OF A BETTER TERM, LIKE A TOWN CENTER TYPE DEVELOPMENT IN THIS AREA IS YOU GET THAT FEEL AROUND THAT FUTURE LAKE AND IT'LL HAVE KIND OF A LOOKOUT. AND SO IT'S MORE, MORE DESTINATION TYPE RETAIL, I THINK WOULD BE IN, IN THAT RED AREA. AND THEN YOU'D PROBABLY SEE MORE OF YOUR TRADITIONAL RETAIL IN LIKE THESE RED AREAS THAT YOU SEE DOWN ALONG 195. IS THAT ACCURATE? OKAY. BUT ONE OTHER THING ON THE TOURS IS WHATEVER THE I KNOW AS OF SITTING HERE TODAY, YOU DON'T KNOW, I'M SURE, BUT DETERMINING WHAT THE BASE RATE OR BASE YEAR WILL BE FOR THAT WILL BE IMPORTANT, I THINK, AS WELL. OKAY. THANKS, NICK. I'M VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS. THIS, THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY. I LOOK AT THIS AND I SEE YOU HAVE RONALD REAGAN IN 195, WHICH WILL BE LIMITED ACCESS HIGHWAYS IN THE FUTURE. YOU HAVE 8000 9000 UNITS. THAT'S MORE UNITS THAN THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN THE TOWN I GREW UP IN. SO THAT MAKES ME THINK WE OUGHT TO HAVE A VISION OF BEING BOTH SELF CONTAINED AND CONNECTED. SELF CONTAINED MEANS THAT JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT YOU WANT OR NEED, YOU CAN GET IN THERE, BUT YOU'RE CONNECTED SO THAT IF 
          [01:40:04]
YOUR JOB IS SOMEPLACE ELSE, YOU CAN GO THERE. BUT IF YOUR JOB IS HERE, YOU'RE YOU CAN EASILY GET THERE AND TRY TO COME UP WITH ALL THE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT WOULD NEED. NOW, SOME OF THOSE THINGS WILL BE PROVIDED BY THE CITY. SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO EXACTLY EVERYTHING, BUT THE CONCEPT SHOULD BE TRY TO DO A LITTLE BIT, WHETHER IT'S RECREATION AND PARKS, WHETHER IT'S NATURAL AREAS, COMMERCIAL, YOU SHOULD HAVE COMMERCIAL. AND I LOVE THE THE TOWN, THE TOWN CENTER. THAT THAT TO ME IS A GREAT IDEA. AND I ALSO LIKE THAT YOU HAVE COMMERCIAL ALONG THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE THERE ARE PEOPLE GOING TO BE DRIVING PAST THAT THAT ARE NEED TO STOP. AND SO YOU HAVE BOTH OF THOSE. YOU HAVE THE, THE PARKS, THE INDUSTRIAL PARKS WHERE PEOPLE CAN WORK. SO I LIKE ALL THAT. BUT WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT THE TRAFFIC FLOW, NOT THE TRAFFIC FLOW TODAY, WHAT THE TRAFFIC FLOW IS GOING TO BE WHEN THOSE ARE LIMITED ACCESS HIGHWAYS. 
          AND WE NEED TO GET PEOPLE IN AND OUT OF THERE WITHOUT TAKING THEM UP THE WRONG WAY. SO THAT WOULD BE MY VISION IS WHAT IS IT GOING TO LOOK LIKE LATER AND HOW ARE WE GOING TO GET THERE? THE RATIO OF APARTMENTS AND SINGLE FAMILY IT IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE WE HAVE WAY TOO MANY APARTMENTS. WE NEED MORE SINGLE FAMILY IN THERE. NOT THAT WE DON'T NEED THE APARTMENTS, BUT I THINK THAT THAT RATIO NEEDS TO BE CHANGED SIGNIFICANTLY FROM 5000 APARTMENTS, ONLY 4000 MORE OR LESS. SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE. SO I'D LIKE TO TO SEE THAT RELOOKED THE. TIMING OF ALL THIS, WE'RE TALKING A 30 YEAR BUILD OUT, MORE OR LESS 25, 40 SOMETHING. SO 30 YEARS, HOW ARE WE GOING TO TIME THIS SO THAT WE HAVE THE RIGHT THINGS IN THERE AT THE RIGHT TIME? IF YOU PUT ALL THE COMMERCIAL IN UP FRONT, YOU GET SKEWED ONE WAY. IF YOU PUT ALL THE RESIDENTIAL, I'D LIKE TO SEE KIND OF A CONCEPT. I WON'T CALL IT A PLAN, A CONCEPT OF HOW ARE WE GOING TO DEVELOP THIS SO THAT WE DON'T GET OUT OF WHACK IN ONE AREA, OR OUT OF WHACK IN ANOTHER AREA, THAT WE DEVELOP EVERYTHING. IT'S NOT EASY TO DO. AND I'M GLAD YOU'RE DOING IT. 
          NOT ME. I WAS IN THE ARMY. WE HAD TO PLAN ON HOW YOU GOT THE COMBAT POWER IN THERE CORRECTLY SO THAT EVERYTHING WAS BALANCED, BUT I'D LIKE TO SEE KIND OF A CONCEPT OF HOW YOU'RE GOING TO BRING EVERYTHING IN SO THAT IT STAYS BALANCED THROUGH THE WHOLE DEVELOPMENT. I LIVE IN SUN CITY, AND WE ARE SOMEWHAT SELF-CONTAINED. WE KIND OF LIKE TO HAVE MORE COMMERCIAL INSIDE OF SUN CITY THAN HAVING TO GET OUT ON THE ROADS ALL THE TIME, BUT THAT'S THE WAY IT IS THERE. 
          I DO LIKE THE IDEA OF THE BUFFER BETWEEN THE RESIDENTIAL AND THE HIGHWAYS. YOU HAVEN'T BACKED UP YOUR RESIDENTIAL TO THE HIGHWAYS AND I THINK THAT'S GREAT. SO THERE'S A LOT OF GOOD THINGS I LIKE ABOUT IT. SOME THINGS I WANT YOU TO CONSIDER IN TERMS OF TRAFFIC AND TIMING AND EVERYTHING AS FAR AS THE MUD AND THE TOURS, MY FIRST RESPONSE IS PROBABLY NOT. BUT IF WE COME UP WITH A GOOD ENOUGH PROJECT AND IT'S WORTH INVESTING IN, I CAN SUPPORT THAT. BUT MY MY INITIAL THING IS LOWER THE MUD RATE AND NO TOURS, BUT YOU MAY BE ABLE TO CONVINCE ME. FAIR ENOUGH. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. SO ONE QUESTION. 
          YOU MENTIONED WATER FEATURES. I'M ASSUMING YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THESE THIS THESE PONDS AND OKAY, WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT WATER FEATURES AS FAR AS LIKE, YOU KNOW, LIKE DECORATIVE WATER FEATURES. NO, ALTHOUGH I MEAN, INDIVIDUAL DEVELOPERS OVER TIME. OKAY, OKAY. I KNOW THAT'S WAY IN THE WEEDS, BUT I THINK RIGHT NOW THAT THAT FEATURE IS A FEATURE THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE US NOT HAVE, YOU KNOW, OUR CONSERVATION EFFORTS AND ALL THE MONEY THAT WE'RE PUTTING INTO CONSERVING WATER HERE RIGHT NOW. THE WORD WATER FEATURE, I THINK IS SORT OF A NEGATIVE, HAS A NEGATIVE CONNOTATION. WE DON'T HAVE TO GET IN THE WEEDS ON THAT. BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE TALKING MORE ABOUT THE LARGER WATER FEATURE STRUCTURES AND NOT DECORATIVE FEATURES. IT'S YEAH, MORE OF THESE NATURALISTIC. OKAY. JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT. AND I WOULD, YOU KNOW, DEFINITELY DETER DEVELOPERS FROM DECORATIVE WATER FEATURES, BUT THAT'S WAY IN THE WEEDS. SO ONE THING I COMPLETELY AGREE. IF YOU'LL GO BACK TO THAT MAP. SORRY, NICK. YEP. NOPE. YEP. THERE. SO WE DON'T HAVE TO BELABOR IT 
          [01:45:05]
ANYMORE. BUT I HAVE THE SAME CONCERNS AS FAR AS THE GRAY AREAS WITH MULTIFAMILY AND INDUSTRIAL AND JUST UNDERSTANDING A LITTLE BIT MORE, YOU KNOW, AROUND WHAT YOU ALL WOULD WANT THERE. I KNOW WE'RE REALLY EARLY IN THE PROCESS. I COMPLETELY CONCUR THAT I THINK WE NEED TO SKEW A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY ON THE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL TO THE MULTIFAMILY. ONE QUESTION I DO HAVE IS, DOES THAT MULTIFAMILY, WOULD YOU ENVISION INCORPORATING THINGS LIKE TOWNHOMES, CONDOS FOR SALE PRODUCT AND NOT JUST GARDEN STYLE APARTMENT HOMES? YES. AND ACTUALLY, THAT'S WHAT'S LISTED OR SHOWN ON THIS IS THE HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL THAT THAT'S MORE OF THE TOWNHOME STYLE. OKAY. AND TO PURCHASE OR TO, I MEAN, YOU MAY NOT BE IN THE WEEDS THAT MUCH. YEAH, THE MARKET WILL DICTATE THAT I WOULD EXPECT BOTH FLAVORS. OKAY. PERFECT. YEAH. I MEAN, I'M ALWAYS I THINK WE'VE TALKED A LOT ABOUT, YOU KNOW, A WIDE ARRAY AND MIX OF HOUSING FROM, YOU KNOW, RENTAL. ALL OF US HAVE RENTED AN APARTMENT AT ONE DAY, AT ONE DAY IN TIME IN OUR LIVES. AND THOSE ARE NEEDED. 
          BUT ALSO, YOU KNOW, HOW DO YOU ENTER HOMEOWNERSHIP? HOW DO YOU, YOU KNOW, GROW IN YOUR HOMEOWNERSHIP ALL THE WAY TO, YOU KNOW, EXECUTIVE TYPE HOUSING AS WELL? SO I HOPE THAT WE HAVE A MIX OF HOUSING TYPES, BOTH FOR LEASE AND FOR PURCHASE. I LOVE THE PLACEMENT OF THE SINGLE FAMILY. I THINK THAT THAT'S WONDERFUL. I THINK THAT WORKS REALLY WELL. LIKE THE TOWN CENTER. ONE THING THAT I WILL SAY ON THE TOWN CENTER IS LET'S REALLY LOOK AT I LOVE NICK'S WORD DESTINATION RETAIL. LIKE I THINK HAVING RETAIL ON 195 MAKES SENSE THAT, YOU KNOW, ATTRACTS PEOPLE IN. BUT THEN ALSO, YOU KNOW, HOW DO WE FIND THOSE DESTINATION RETAIL PLACES? AND AGAIN, I KNOW THE MARKET WILL DICTATE THAT AT THE TIME AND WE'RE WAY IN THE WEEDS, YOU KNOW, I'M IN THE WEEDS ON THAT. BUT I THINK WE NEED TO LOOK AT STRATEGICALLY ABOUT WHAT WE ALREADY HAVE IN THE MARKET HERE AND WHAT WE REALLY ARE MISSING. AND I THINK THIS IS SUCH A UNIQUE DEVELOPMENT THAT HOPEFULLY IT WILL DRAW PEOPLE THAT WE WE DON'T HAVE YET HERE IN GEORGETOWN, BUT WANT TO HAVE FOR OUR RESIDENTS IN THE FUTURE. AND I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH COUNCILMAN BUTLER THAT, YOU KNOW, THIS IS SUCH A LARGE DEVELOPMENT THAT, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE SHOULD BE ABLE TO FIND WHAT THEY NEED IN THIS DEVELOPMENT. BUT HOPEFULLY WE'LL LEAVE AND WANT TO VISIT OTHER AMENITIES IN GEORGETOWN AS WELL. SO THINKING ABOUT THAT, YOU MENTIONED YOU ENGAGED ENDEAVOR IN THE PROJECT IN AUSTIN. WHEN WOULD YOU ENVISION, YOU KNOW, ENGAGING A MASTER DEVELOPER AND WHAT IS YOUR PROCESS AROUND THAT AT KIND OF THIS STAGE OF, OF THE PLANNING? AND WHERE DOES THAT GO IN THE FUTURE FOR YOU? THAT THAT'S, THAT'S A PROCESS THAT WILL EVOLVE THE PROCESS WITH ENDEAVOR STARTED WITH A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION AND QUALIFICATIONS FROM A RANGE OF REGIONAL, NATIONAL, AND EVEN GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT GROUPS. YOU KNOW, THIS COULD BE A LITTLE BIT NARROWER AND MORE TARGETED IN APPROACH BECAUSE WE'VE HAD THAT LEARNING EXPERIENCE, BUT WE DON'T HAVE ANYONE TEED UP AT THIS AT THIS MOMENT. BUT YOU WOULD LOOK AT ENGAGING A MASTER DEVELOPER IN THE FUTURE. WE ARE NOT WE'RE THE LANDOWNER. WE ARE NOT A DEVELOPER. OKAY. LIKE, LIKE TO HEAR THAT. THANK YOU. 
          AND THEN, YOU KNOW, LASTLY, I LOVE THE IDEA OF ALL OF THE PARKLAND AND APPRECIATE YOU ALL CONSIDERING THAT AND AGREE. I WAS ASSUMING THAT'S WHY ERIC WAS HERE, WAS TO HEAR THIS PRESENTATION AND SO ENGAGING WITH HIM AND WHAT WE CAN DO THERE TO ENHANCE WHAT WE ALREADY HAVE IN OUR ROBUST PARK SYSTEM HERE. BUT ALSO, I LIKE THE IDEA OF THE MAYOR'S, YOU KNOW, THOUGHTS ON ENGAGING, YOU KNOW, SOME PRIVATE SECTOR PEOPLE THAT ALSO COULD DO THAT. 
          I ALSO WOULD SAY YOU HEARD FROM OUR ARTS AND CULTURE DIRECTOR A LITTLE BIT EARLIER. OUR LIBRARY DIRECTOR ISN'T HERE, BUT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THINGS LIKE SATELLITE LIBRARY FACILITIES AND SOME OF THESE, YOU KNOW, OUTLYING AREAS. AND HOW DO YOU, YOU KNOW, HOW COULD WE, YOU KNOW, IS THERE A SATELLITE ARTS AND CULTURE? I MEAN, JUST, YOU KNOW, THINGS THAT WE COULD BE DOING ON THE LIBRARY AND ARTS AND CULTURE FRONT AS WELL, BECAUSE WE CAN'T EXPAND, YOU KNOW, ALL OF OUR LIBRARY FACILITIES AND ARTS AND CULTURAL FACILITIES ONLY HERE IN DOWNTOWN GEORGETOWN. AND HAVING SOME SATELLITE AREAS WOULD BE EXCITING TO, TO LOOK AT AS WELL. AND LASTLY, I THINK, YOU KNOW, I THINK ONE THING WE'RE HEARING A LOT FROM IS FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT AS WELL. YOU KNOW, HOW THIS IS AGAIN, A HUGE, LARGE SCALE DEVELOPMENT. 
          WHERE COULD WE INCORPORATE IN SOME FAMILY DEVELOPMENT FROM FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT THAT ISN'T ALREADY HAPPENING HERE IN GEORGETOWN? OTHERWISE, I'M EXCITED ABOUT THE PROJECT. I THINK IT'S A GREAT REUSE OF AN AMAZING PIECE OF PROPERTY AND ENCOURAGE TO SEE WHAT YOU ALL BRING FORWARD WITH A LITTLE BIT MORE SPECIFICITY. AS COUNCILMAN NOBLE SAID, THANK YOU. I. THE ADVANTAGE OF GOING LAST SOMETIMES IS, LIKE EVERYBODY SAID, MOST OF WHAT I WOULD HAVE ANY DESIRE TO SAY. SO I DO THINK TO YOUR FIRST QUESTION, I'M FINE WITH THE. PROPOSED LAND PLAN. I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING HOW THAT, YOU KNOW, HASHES OUT AS WE GO FURTHER ALONG THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE THE MUD PROCESS. I'D BE OPEN TO CONSIDERATION OF A MUD AND A 
          [01:50:06]
TOURIST. BUT AS MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE SAID, I THINK HOW YOU HANDLE THE TOURIST COMPONENT OF THAT NEEDS TO BE CAREFUL AND THOUGHTFUL. AND I, YOU KNOW, WE'VE SEEN TOURS INADVERTENTLY SHOOT THEMSELVES IN THE FOOT ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS, AND WE WANT TO BE THOUGHTFUL ABOUT THAT. AND I DON'T REALLY HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL FEEDBACK OTHER THAN, YOU KNOW, BESIDES WHAT EVERYBODY ELSE HAS SAID. SO, I MEAN, THIS IS IT'S KIND OF A WILD THING TO SEE. I MEAN, I'VE LIVED IN GEORGETOWN FOR 25 YEARS. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING I DON'T THINK WE'VE EVER HAD. HAVE WE HAD ANYTHING THAT'S DEFINITELY THE MOST TRULY MIXED USE OF THIS SIZE? YEAH. THIS IS A THIS IS A VERY INTERESTING PROJECT. I LOOK I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING THE EVOLUTION OF THIS AS WE MOVE FURTHER ON DOWN THE ROAD. THE ONLY OTHER THING I WOULD ADD BEFORE WE WRAP IT UP IS ON THE MULTIFAMILY. DEFINITELY UNDERSTAND EVERYBODY'S CONCERNS ON THE TOTAL NUMBER OF UNITS. AND MAYBE, YOU KNOW, WE'D LIKE TO SEE THAT LESSENED A LITTLE BIT. BUT ALSO WITH OUR NEW MULTIFAMILY STANDARDS, WHICH I DO THINK WE WANT TO BE CLEAR THAT WE'RE GOING TO HOLD TO THOSE NEW DEVELOPMENT AND CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS FOR THE MULTIFAMILY. YOU KNOW, I THINK IT REALLY DOES CHANGE WHAT GETS BUILT OUT HERE. IT'S NOT AN OCEAN OF GARDEN STYLE MULTIFAMILY. IT'S, YOU KNOW, TRUE KIND OF NEW URBAN MULTIFAMILY. AND IF THAT HAPPENS, I THINK IT'S A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT LOOK AND FEEL FOR THE PROJECT. AND IT ALSO, TO BE REAL BLUNT, IT PROBABLY SLOWS DOWN THE AMOUNT AND SPEED AT WHICH THAT MULTIFAMILY GETS BUILT. SO BUT I DO WANT TO, YOU KNOW, HOLD TO THOSE STANDARDS. SO. ALL RIGHT. ANYBODY GOT ANYTHING ELSE, NICK, ANYTHING YOU NEED FROM US? VERY HELPFUL FEEDBACK. THANK YOU. JARED. Y'ALL. Y'ALL GOOD. NEED 
          [Executive Session]
