1
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:19,360
Okay, we're now ready. Okay. Well, we will go ahead and then call the, the number of birds meeting of the downtown committee to order and welcome back from summer vacation.

2
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:24,000
We're going to go around and introduce ourselves and say what we did this summer.

3
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,660
You're not really going to need that.

4
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:29,360
I'm right.

5
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:29,620
I'm right.

6
00:00:29,660 --> 00:00:30,000
I want Gainesville.

7
00:00:30,980 --> 00:00:31,780
So, my husband.

8
00:00:32,160 --> 00:00:32,500
No, okay.

9
00:00:32,820 --> 00:00:33,500
I'm John.

10
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:34,040
Don't worry.

11
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:35,360
I can take a look.

12
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:37,120
Thank you.

13
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:38,380
I'm the writer.

14
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:39,420
Here.

15
00:00:40,340 --> 00:00:40,580
Here.

16
00:00:42,540 --> 00:00:42,840
Thank you.

17
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:43,060
Yeah.

18
00:00:43,980 --> 00:00:44,440
Broshie.

19
00:00:44,780 --> 00:00:45,560
Not here.

20
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:47,180
Nice to share, bear.

21
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:48,980
I think we're going to share.

22
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:49,780
That's for that.

23
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:50,240
Here.

24
00:00:51,380 --> 00:01:00,040
And we will move on to item number three, approval of the Minutes, the June Minutes were sent out

25
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,960
and everybody should have had a chance to let the dose.

26
00:01:03,020 --> 00:01:08,400
And I did, I got some edits from shooting on the thing that are incorporated into the minutes you see.

27
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,380
I'm just going to just some miskelling of the names.

28
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,300
And a motion to approve would be.

29
00:01:15,300 --> 00:01:28,820
a motion by shinning, second by. Okay, any discussion, anybody online, right?

30
00:01:30,660 --> 00:01:38,480
I'll tell you, I'm in the opposed. All right, motion carries unanimously.

31
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:53,160
Next item is upcoming agenda topics and you can see the list there of things that are on the upcoming.

32
00:01:53,900 --> 00:02:06,260
Any other things that people want to add to the list or other things on the list that maybe ought to be advanced if possible?

33
00:02:07,180 --> 00:02:22,220
I'm hoping to have a public safety presentation, the fire department is going to be doing some drills in the downtown coming up later this fall, so we'll be making a report out on that to us and then also have a conversation with our police equipment.

34
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,700
Those are kind of near-term things for playing.

35
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,880
And this is again, there's all hold from the work plan.

36
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:37,140
Yeah. A lot of it. Yeah. Yeah. This is in way more detail than having the work point, which is a little more general.

37
00:02:40,260 --> 00:02:44,120
Do you have a parking plan for the day?

38
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,320
Yeah. That's pretty cool.

39
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:51,020
I just wanted to think where I was. Oh, it was parallel to where that.

40
00:02:51,060 --> 00:02:54,140
No, I was in the main parking garage.

41
00:02:54,500 --> 00:02:55,680
It California.

42
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,360
And none of the.

43
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:04,220
Solve and see lights or a work it. Yeah, there's been, there's a banana commission for a couple of years.

44
00:03:04,220 --> 00:03:06,220
Oh, yes, you scratch.

45
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:07,260
You scratch.

46
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:22,500
Yeah, the company, the company that installed them went out of business and the technology, we just haven't been able to maintain it. So we're exploring, you know, we'll, we'll talk about parking in a future time, but we're exploring some way better way.

47
00:03:22,500 --> 00:03:23,020
I can't.

48
00:03:24,920 --> 00:03:25,480
I don't know.

49
00:03:25,540 --> 00:03:25,900
Sorry.

50
00:03:26,100 --> 00:03:26,740
I didn't mean to get it.

51
00:03:26,920 --> 00:03:28,240
To do deal on that.

52
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,160
Any anything else on upcoming agenda items?

53
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:38,100
No, but can I go out of order and just make, I just tell that I should introduce Abby

54
00:03:38,100 --> 00:03:38,380
Kim.

55
00:03:41,060 --> 00:03:42,020
I just.

56
00:03:42,820 --> 00:03:43,180
I know.

57
00:03:43,860 --> 00:03:44,820
I don't know.

58
00:03:45,140 --> 00:03:45,380
I don't know.

59
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:45,960
I don't know.

60
00:03:46,460 --> 00:03:49,660
I don't know.

61
00:03:49,660 --> 00:03:51,820
So as some of you know,

62
00:03:51,820 --> 00:03:59,200
Most, you know, I think, monosol got a new job over the summer and so we had an exhaustive

63
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,340
search and the winner, Happy Longbook.

64
00:04:03,780 --> 00:04:04,340
Happy Longbook.

65
00:04:04,420 --> 00:04:05,060
Happy Longbook.

66
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:06,740
Yes.

67
00:04:07,620 --> 00:04:10,680
And in case you didn't know, Happy used to work at Tech Museum.

68
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,800
So I think I had good understanding, working for a non-profit.

69
00:04:14,980 --> 00:04:17,480
We're crazy people who walk in the door all the time, so it's all about.

70
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:18,760
I think we're active with the tech.

71
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:19,300
The tech interactive.

72
00:04:20,700 --> 00:04:24,480
I was like, I'm a member, so you're like, we get the number, right?

73
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:26,440
So there have been multiple names over there.

74
00:04:26,840 --> 00:04:28,040
I've been a place to go.

75
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:30,100
I'll be, yeah, to everybody.

76
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:35,660
And so obviously, we're still going through some transition at the chamber.

77
00:04:36,860 --> 00:04:43,080
Abby, as part of the team now, to look at who will actually be leading the efforts for the downtown business association.

78
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,800
I have been doing a very terrible job of it for the last two months.

79
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,320
So obviously I'll each put my team stepping up.

80
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:54,320
So I wanted her to be a sit-in at least and I see how the down tap can be noticed.

81
00:04:56,300 --> 00:04:59,960
So that brings up a question, because Maura's solved was...

82
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:12,460
With she on, she was on the committee by reason of her position. So we're that extent to, it doesn't.

83
00:05:12,460 --> 00:05:18,880
It does, but Abby will still need to go through the process that it makes her eligible to be appointed.

84
00:05:19,780 --> 00:05:23,040
But she needs to still need to be appointed by the council.

85
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:27,140
Also, the council actually needs to formalize it, but it's so semi-automatic.

86
00:05:27,740 --> 00:05:37,080
Yeah, I mean in this case, and so, well, maybe when it's not Abby's pointy first 10 minutes in, we'll send it to the application and we can get that problem first.

87
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:38,840
Okay.

88
00:05:40,280 --> 00:05:47,820
All right, then we will close item four and move on to item five all communications from the public.

89
00:05:48,420 --> 00:05:50,140
And is there any public?

90
00:05:50,220 --> 00:05:52,360
I see no member of the public.

91
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,060
Okay, now I want it.

92
00:05:54,060 --> 00:05:56,580
Oh, actually I'll then, oh no, no, no, no, no.

93
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:06,580
Okay, well then I won't make the normal head medations and we will close item five and move on to item six unfinished business.

94
00:06:07,460 --> 00:06:11,380
And item six point one is to downtown the dollar much update.

95
00:06:12,620 --> 00:06:13,580
Oh, yeah.

96
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,400
See Diana on the first screen.

97
00:06:17,260 --> 00:06:20,320
So, Diana, are you making the report?

98
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:33,320
you're on mute. I'm trying to say how I can appear. Good morning everybody.

99
00:06:34,540 --> 00:06:41,400
Say I in terms of the downtown updates, development updates. I just wanted to highlight

100
00:06:42,620 --> 00:06:57,440
One specific thing, which is regarding the posture clouds, we do have an application and that you should be able to see in the update.

101
00:06:57,780 --> 00:07:08,400
This is just a portion of it, not the office portion, so that's a little bit of a change that you'll be able to see in there.

102
00:07:10,860 --> 00:07:13,680
I think it is number four.

103
00:07:15,810 --> 00:07:16,930
And this is the hotel.

104
00:07:19,150 --> 00:07:19,750
Other

105
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:32,400
than that, you know, not really much to record in terms of any changes.

106
00:07:36,180 --> 00:07:48,160
One important thing to note is 705 SD now, which is the Smith Brothers mix use project at a data and hope street corner.

107
00:07:48,500 --> 00:07:54,680
That's the one which you might see on the Council agenda towards the end of this year.

108
00:07:54,680 --> 00:08:03,140
The project, but it was approved, had an underground parking garage, and with a very limited amount of parking spaces,

109
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:12,420
the developer has approached the city with the concerns that the feasibility of that is difficult,

110
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:19,720
because of cost constraints, and they might come in for modification, removing that underground parking garage.

111
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:25,020
and they'll be providing some surface level parking spaces and the back.

112
00:08:25,900 --> 00:08:28,420
So stay tuned, but it's going to be a minor change.

113
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:34,260
As per the state law, they are really not required to provide any parking on site.

114
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:39,280
They are within the half mile radius of the transit center.

115
00:08:40,060 --> 00:08:49,700
So that's another change that is not listed in here, but it is going to come in.

116
00:08:51,210 --> 00:08:54,910
Any questions or I have won't, but see if anybody else had any.

117
00:08:55,510 --> 00:09:03,990
Just a comment on number 9590 Castro is that to say the construction has started is kind of an overstatement.

118
00:09:04,630 --> 00:09:07,670
But they dropped off.

119
00:09:07,770 --> 00:09:10,310
The federal material they will be using because they will be starting.

120
00:09:10,470 --> 00:09:12,150
Structions soon for demolition.

121
00:09:12,270 --> 00:09:13,510
For a demo of demo, I guess.

122
00:09:13,770 --> 00:09:14,730
It's the correct term.

123
00:09:15,530 --> 00:09:20,070
And so part of the parking lot actually part of the access, the parking lot.

124
00:09:20,070 --> 00:09:27,590
now have a nice big green fence around it, but nothing will start in earnest until after the

125
00:09:27,590 --> 00:09:32,570
October fest. We've been working very closely with Sabrato and with the city to make sure

126
00:09:32,570 --> 00:09:39,670
that everything is cool for the events. Obviously, for next year, we have to make some of the alternative

127
00:09:39,670 --> 00:09:47,510
plans that things are going to be good for this year. Dan, I just question about the hotel. I mean,

128
00:09:47,510 --> 00:09:58,970
given the way it's moving, the staff have any sort of life, that fantasy timeline.

129
00:10:01,700 --> 00:10:17,060
Or as Robert Green indicated that, you know, either financing is really hard now, which is, you know, an age old story, or you got it, and we're looking at 28 groundbreaking.

130
00:10:19,060 --> 00:10:27,280
It's good to say that, especially with this project, we are just happy that a portion of the application is in.

131
00:10:27,820 --> 00:10:38,800
So yeah, I think staff will report back once we feel that we are in a better position to guess what could be like a good reasonable timeframe.

132
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:46,680
I will say the terms of the new, the amended DDA have the specific timeline that have to be met.

133
00:10:47,980 --> 00:10:52,860
So, there are some stipulations that were built into Council's approved DDA.

134
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:57,760
So, I can't remember exactly what those are, but there are some, of course, timelines there.

135
00:10:58,420 --> 00:11:03,940
I know I know, you know, obviously financing is often contingent on things moving quickly.

136
00:11:03,940 --> 00:11:10,080
So of course there's always the opt-in to submit a building permanent risk, we'll have to see if they choose to do that.

137
00:11:10,420 --> 00:11:14,040
But the timeline is that I can really vary in at this stage.

138
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:18,440
Really is too soon to tell, but there are a variety of different pools and strategy,

139
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,860
and then also some hard deadlines in the DDA.

140
00:11:23,660 --> 00:11:28,680
I don't remember seven, seven, five, six California street.

141
00:11:28,940 --> 00:11:34,140
It says that a two-year permit extension was approved by the zoning administrator on August

142
00:11:34,140 --> 00:11:41,600
7, 2024, so we are passed the two-year time frame is that is another extension going to

143
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,440
be granted or applied for?

144
00:11:44,740 --> 00:11:48,140
No, I feel like that project is just going to expire.

145
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,440
That's the dental office, isn't it?

146
00:11:52,500 --> 00:11:53,280
It's an emergency.

147
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:54,500
Yeah.

148
00:11:54,500 --> 00:11:55,300
What number is that, Kim?

149
00:11:55,420 --> 00:11:55,860
Yeah, sort of.

150
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:57,040
I've never said it.

151
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,140
Yeah, behind Ludwig's.

152
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:01,200
Yeah.

153
00:12:03,420 --> 00:12:05,320
That was a nice little project.

154
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:06,580
Mm-hmm.

155
00:12:06,820 --> 00:12:07,060
All right.

156
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:07,980
Anything else?

157
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:10,280
It's not.

158
00:12:10,620 --> 00:12:11,520
Thank you, Diana.

159
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:17,420
I want to presumably, there's still nobody online.

160
00:12:17,620 --> 00:12:18,180
I see no.

161
00:12:18,180 --> 00:12:19,060
No, no, no.

162
00:12:19,180 --> 00:12:20,380
All right.

163
00:12:20,540 --> 00:12:23,300
We'll move on to 6.2, Captain Street, OK.

164
00:12:33,590 --> 00:12:34,350
All right.

165
00:12:34,830 --> 00:12:35,090
All right.

166
00:12:35,090 --> 00:12:35,310
All right.

167
00:12:35,430 --> 00:12:35,810
Good morning.

168
00:12:36,190 --> 00:12:36,350
Good morning.

169
00:12:36,590 --> 00:12:37,090
Team members.

170
00:12:37,490 --> 00:12:39,550
Mandorotella, economic vitality strategy.

171
00:12:40,030 --> 00:12:41,410
It's not with vitality manager.

172
00:12:42,770 --> 00:12:44,290
What is my title?

173
00:12:45,050 --> 00:12:45,410
All right.

174
00:12:45,530 --> 00:12:48,690
So some updates for you from Caster Street.

175
00:12:48,750 --> 00:12:50,390
So we are wrapping up this summer.

176
00:12:50,470 --> 00:12:54,250
But they are continuing to be some fun things happening down town.

177
00:12:54,250 --> 00:13:01,230
concert from the Plaza will continue through the end of this month. So you can see we've got the last last

178
00:13:01,230 --> 00:13:06,770
last band playing September 25th. And if any questions about how that's been going you can ask

179
00:13:07,330 --> 00:13:11,990
committee member Shake who's been there. Yes. All right. You should if you haven't been there

180
00:13:11,990 --> 00:13:18,450
to be there. It's a good time. We're just use of timbre a lot. Yeah. Yeah, especially the

181
00:13:18,450 --> 00:13:19,470
of the 80s rock.

182
00:13:22,910 --> 00:13:28,690
We'll continue through October, which is exciting to see, and as you know, these are some smaller,

183
00:13:29,590 --> 00:13:35,610
smaller kind of musical performers on the 200 block and they're there every Wednesday.

184
00:13:37,550 --> 00:13:42,750
And then we are so excited to announce Makers Market Series coming to downtown.

185
00:13:42,750 --> 00:13:47,170
We've got some little promotional postcards here.

186
00:13:47,230 --> 00:13:49,230
We can help us get the word out on those.

187
00:13:50,390 --> 00:13:53,330
So the coming up quick, the first one is in the cameras.

188
00:13:53,530 --> 00:13:54,710
It can be a team.

189
00:13:54,890 --> 00:13:56,790
There'll be one in October, November and December.

190
00:13:56,990 --> 00:14:02,350
So this is a four-part, pilot series that we are sort of testing out.

191
00:14:02,630 --> 00:14:09,250
This meets a lot of action items in our economic vitality strategy, both around downtown

192
00:14:09,250 --> 00:14:16,690
activation that also around supporting micro printers, the creative economy. So we're really excited to have

193
00:14:16,690 --> 00:14:23,030
over 50 local artists, over half of which are from Mountain View, and over half of which will be

194
00:14:23,030 --> 00:14:28,670
their first time participating at the Maker in a Maker's Market. So we have a lot of new

195
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:13,920
We've had training that we've provided to the makers. We've collaborated with Fabmo and they've done some trainings around how to set up your booth, how to display your items, things you should think about, you know, how are you accepting payment.

196
00:15:14,820 --> 00:15:19,800
So, not only are we providing this community, but we're also providing this resource to all of these.

197
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,860
I call micropreneurs, creative, our creative vendors.

198
00:15:24,380 --> 00:15:25,480
So this is really exciting.

199
00:15:25,820 --> 00:15:28,160
We continue to hear from the downtown community

200
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:32,060
about a desire for more regularly scheduled programming.

201
00:15:33,180 --> 00:15:35,240
So this is something that we are testing out.

202
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,300
And because it's a pilot, community response

203
00:15:38,300 --> 00:15:40,080
will be an important metric that we measure.

204
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,580
So we're hoping the community will come out

205
00:15:42,580 --> 00:15:44,880
and do some shopping for the holidays

206
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,080
as we kind of prep up this year.

207
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:52,080
How are the artists that we may talk about that, my friend, as I remember.

208
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:53,100
Oh, yeah.

209
00:15:53,140 --> 00:15:54,000
The great question.

210
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,140
So we had an open application process,

211
00:15:57,380 --> 00:15:58,820
so anyone could apply.

212
00:15:59,380 --> 00:16:02,280
We did give priority to mountain view-based makers,

213
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,260
but beyond that,

214
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,580
we were assessing applications for completeness.

215
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,300
You had to have a mountain view business license.

216
00:16:09,500 --> 00:16:10,660
You had to have a sellers permit.

217
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,580
And then we were really looking at the remaining makers

218
00:16:14,580 --> 00:16:21,380
how we curate a nice variety of products for the market. So trying to ensure that there was a good variety.

219
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:27,380
Will it be the same vendors each time? More or less the same we asked all we asked the vendors to

220
00:16:27,380 --> 00:16:33,640
find on for all four but there's you know one or two that can't make all of them so it will be like

221
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:39,340
ever so slightly different every time but uh uh of the same cohort for them and for me.

222
00:16:40,380 --> 00:16:47,180
was there any discussion or stuff? I know I can't remember the name of the group that

223
00:16:47,180 --> 00:16:51,820
does like the repairs, you know, they have these big repair plans.

224
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:54,340
Yeah.

225
00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:03,420
And I was wondering if there have been a discussion of having like a small, you know, repair

226
00:17:03,420 --> 00:17:09,280
cafe is part of that because that's usually local people that, you know, just fixing stuff.

227
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:14,700
Yeah, it's a great question. We had such an overwhelming number of applicants,

228
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:19,660
um, of people, makers that wanted to participate. So we really are filling every possible

229
00:17:19,660 --> 00:17:25,500
inch, um, with makers. I think had there, had there been a less of a turnout. We had a lot of

230
00:17:25,500 --> 00:17:28,800
non-profits that have reached out wanting to table and we just don't have this face.

231
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:32,760
It's something kind of a walk before you run.

232
00:17:33,020 --> 00:17:36,020
I feel like I'm too late with this.

233
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:37,100
I have a lot of a question.

234
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:44,990
Is there any sense of what the demand market is for?

235
00:17:45,150 --> 00:17:50,230
I mean, we have a lot of makers come out anticipating a lot of consumers.

236
00:17:51,170 --> 00:17:57,030
Our hope is, I mean, in every forum that I've spoken about the makers market, people have expressed

237
00:17:57,710 --> 00:18:03,450
very clear enthusiasm for this. We're rolling out a pretty good promotional campaign,

238
00:18:03,630 --> 00:18:07,150
we're advertising and local papers on Facebook, we're acting all of the makers.

239
00:18:07,570 --> 00:18:11,570
I mean, every maker's market that I've been to, I attended the Favo1,

240
00:18:11,770 --> 00:18:16,750
where I thought Abby last year, that was really well attended. So my sense is that there is an

241
00:18:16,750 --> 00:18:23,570
appetite for this kind of event, but that is, we think about how we can evaluate success.

242
00:18:23,570 --> 00:18:27,390
that's one of the things we're going to look at is what is the turnout? What's the community

243
00:18:27,390 --> 00:18:32,010
respond? Certainly be looking at what was the experience of the makers? How did the downtown

244
00:18:32,010 --> 00:18:37,230
businesses feel about it? But as I said, an important metric will be, you know, does the community want

245
00:18:37,230 --> 00:18:42,470
this? And if it is something that they want, then we're hoping that they'll show up and shop and sort

246
00:18:42,470 --> 00:18:48,610
of demonstrate that. So what are they marketing? Are you doing to get people to go to? Yeah, so we're using

247
00:18:48,610 --> 00:18:55,410
In all the cities, channels, newsletters, we're doing online paid advertising on social media to

248
00:18:55,410 --> 00:18:59,790
kind of do some targeted outreach, where we've taken out ads with Mountain View Boys.

249
00:19:00,050 --> 00:19:04,050
I think one of the little papers, we're doing outreach to all of the neighborhood associations

250
00:19:04,050 --> 00:19:09,890
and then each of the vendors, we've given them marketing materials and are strongly requesting

251
00:19:09,890 --> 00:19:12,730
that they promote to all of their channels.

252
00:19:12,770 --> 00:19:15,810
And some of them have pretty robust social media as well.

253
00:19:16,690 --> 00:19:16,810
Yeah.

254
00:19:18,370 --> 00:19:19,790
And go ahead, Peter.

255
00:19:20,330 --> 00:19:22,190
Well, I just can put two quick steps in.

256
00:19:22,210 --> 00:19:23,730
One is, can I take a step back?

257
00:19:23,730 --> 00:19:24,110
Go, Peter.

258
00:19:24,270 --> 00:19:27,190
You can have, you can have all of my advice if you walk.

259
00:19:28,330 --> 00:19:28,950
It's going to be harder.

260
00:19:29,210 --> 00:19:30,590
It's going to be, is the market?

261
00:19:30,690 --> 00:19:34,050
I mean, is it going to be sort of like the article line set up, you know,

262
00:19:34,130 --> 00:19:36,890
go white, white pants, just found cash register,

263
00:19:36,890 --> 00:19:39,510
or fake spots on pasture street?

264
00:19:39,730 --> 00:19:43,270
So we've outlined little booze that'll, we write along the 300 blocks.

265
00:19:43,370 --> 00:19:46,130
So we're sort of saying within the 300 block there,

266
00:19:46,130 --> 00:19:51,530
kind of next to the patio area and vendors responsible for bringing their own tents and tables so

267
00:19:51,530 --> 00:19:56,390
there may be tents or there may not be, it'll be, you know, we're kind of doing this a little

268
00:19:56,390 --> 00:19:58,670
scrappy, but

269
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:07,900
But yeah, so we're leaving it to the vendors. You've given them a designated space that they can have, and they can do with that space, but they wish.

270
00:20:08,060 --> 00:20:14,300
We're looking at the demographics of the people who are like, can you say, oh, don't you know, like, they're mostly mounted.

271
00:20:14,820 --> 00:20:16,460
Like, age range.

272
00:20:17,860 --> 00:20:29,500
Yeah, we are collecting information. You know, we want to know, you know, again, if I was at their first time, is it, you know, we're there from, I don't know that we were checking demographics beyond that, certainly something we could.

273
00:20:30,820 --> 00:20:37,380
I'm just going to say too that some people who come up with me and said, well, is this like a mini art and wine festival?

274
00:20:37,820 --> 00:20:40,760
And I think it's important that we continue to differentiate.

275
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:47,320
This really is a different flavor to it. It's got different artists that are being showcased.

276
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,860
And personally, I want all our events to be super successful.

277
00:20:53,120 --> 00:20:56,540
So the more that people see this is something unique and come back to letting the important.

278
00:20:56,540 --> 00:21:04,360
My question was also that, you know, we have like 40 spots and like 100 applications kind of thing.

279
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:10,440
The ones that didn't make it for September spot get put in just slated into an October slot.

280
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:16,180
So, because of the way city contracting goes, we aren't doing a fresh cohort every time.

281
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:20,420
So, we have one cohort that we've improved to be in all four.

282
00:21:20,420 --> 00:21:39,380
So, unfortunately, the people that were not selected will not be at the this series, having then, you know, and we evaluate this for a long-term long-time viability, you know, we will go back out to that list of people that have submitted and invite them to commit to participate later on.

283
00:21:39,380 --> 00:21:40,480
But yeah, I don't choose.

284
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:42,820
Was it like the art that you are just like,

285
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:44,300
what was that the vendors?

286
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:46,840
Oh, so I think that all the Mountain View

287
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:48,220
and Face Makers got priority.

288
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:50,140
And then staff, like if that we were trying

289
00:21:50,140 --> 00:21:55,180
to curate a diverse range, and also looking at readiness,

290
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:57,900
if they submitted material, the demonstrated

291
00:21:57,900 --> 00:21:59,620
that they have a viable business,

292
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:01,920
we weren't able to accept food vendors

293
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:05,200
because that offers a whole nother layer.

294
00:22:06,300 --> 00:22:08,680
And then there were a handful

295
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:14,180
that were just sort of re-selling, you know, products that they hadn't made, and so we were

296
00:22:14,180 --> 00:22:19,100
also evaluating, like, is it something that you've put your personal, or make, yeah, your personal

297
00:22:19,100 --> 00:22:26,000
stamp on. So there were a couple of, you know, ways that we, you know, had to move people off of it.

298
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:31,140
But again, it was really like, okay, we've got a lot of jewelry, you know, who's the ceramicist that we

299
00:22:31,140 --> 00:22:34,800
can bring it, you know, to really look at that. But it was all done at that level. Yeah.

300
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:43,100
So what Peter was saying was saying there's a button or some white festival, but I was looking

301
00:22:43,100 --> 00:22:50,520
at the given time out on the Castro Street, we have so many people from foreign places

302
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:55,940
you know, but they're always looking for like mountaineers to mini-air, I mean I don't know

303
00:22:55,940 --> 00:23:03,060
the details, we somebody will come up with some of them, we have a salad, some of them.

304
00:23:03,620 --> 00:23:09,900
Yeah, I mean, my interview of something, you know, that would be fun to really be able to showcase the amount of you specific papers.

305
00:23:10,300 --> 00:23:15,240
I mean, I know that the therapy store had some, you know, amount of you specific items.

306
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:18,780
So, you know, you can direct me to put your right in there.

307
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,000
Just a certain center has had swag before.

308
00:23:23,420 --> 00:23:26,480
It's a man team that kind of come and wind and then COVID gets like that.

309
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:26,880
Yeah.

310
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,420
But that's actually on the chambers.

311
00:23:28,420 --> 00:23:33,960
list of things to look into is to expand the amount of swag we can do.

312
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,960
There are a couple of organizations that will do stuff online so you don't have to keep

313
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:42,700
inventory and that's more attractive in some ways, but again, you need something visible

314
00:23:42,700 --> 00:23:50,080
people can walk away with that, it's like, so I have a question for, I guess, a happy.

315
00:23:52,760 --> 00:24:04,860
Are we doing is any work with the numbers of the pump of the association about this is going

316
00:24:04,860 --> 00:24:09,300
to be happening, you know, for it is vastly the restaurants, you know, it's fine dinner

317
00:24:09,300 --> 00:24:16,920
time, you know, are they, you know, they're not obviously the makers, but are they, so this

318
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,940
This is coming, y'all have to be doing something special.

319
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,760
Yeah, and for inviting your contact, right,

320
00:24:23,820 --> 00:24:25,860
constant contact was the full answers yet,

321
00:24:25,940 --> 00:24:29,460
then yet, we've already had a couple of the with the DDA

322
00:24:29,460 --> 00:24:32,000
and talked about them and you might want to have

323
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,060
special offerings, you might want to have two bonds,

324
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:35,860
you might want to get in all that sort of thing.

325
00:24:35,860 --> 00:24:39,140
It's very similar to what we do with our pipeline press.

326
00:24:39,500 --> 00:24:40,520
Again, it's you're going to have to,

327
00:24:40,540 --> 00:24:41,840
it's just going to be thousands of people down

328
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:43,500
to want to take advantage of it.

329
00:24:43,780 --> 00:24:46,120
And we're trying to really promote this

330
00:24:46,120 --> 00:24:51,260
a come downtown, you know, it's not just coming for the makers market, but we purposely

331
00:24:51,260 --> 00:24:56,940
planned it around happy hour dinner time, so it's come downtown, it's have some dinner,

332
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,580
it's do some shopping, you don't shop in the other businesses.

333
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:12,300
That are in the downtown. So, you know, I've had a couple interviews with members of the media and that is how we are. We're really trying to promote it. It is come have an afternoon and evening downtown. Say for a while.

334
00:25:12,900 --> 00:25:18,680
Well, we'll be 200 block or 300 block the entertainment zone.

335
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:19,580
We can do that.

336
00:25:19,940 --> 00:25:20,380
Well, I know.

337
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,520
It was something we talked about, but we just don't have the capacity.

338
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:31,220
We've need a lot more monitors and, yeah, it just wasn't realistic with this thing

339
00:25:31,220 --> 00:25:32,220
that we're testing out.

340
00:25:33,120 --> 00:25:35,560
We just didn't have the capacity to add another layer.

341
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:40,940
Are you promoting it to surrounding community dwellers or promotional reports on that?

342
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:42,200
No, we really are.

343
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,100
We're trying to promote beyond Mountain View.

344
00:25:44,460 --> 00:25:48,660
I know in the social media metrics that we were looking at, we were really

345
00:25:49,180 --> 00:25:50,660
I know you can do pretty targeted.

346
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,160
We really refined to expand the more regional.

347
00:25:53,820 --> 00:25:56,520
And a lot of these makers are outside of Mountain View,

348
00:25:56,780 --> 00:25:57,180
about half.

349
00:25:57,500 --> 00:26:00,460
And so they're promoting it to their public as well.

350
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:02,260
But certainly, there are other ideas, the recommendations.

351
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,620
We'd love to hear about ways we can further get to work out.

352
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,280
So we do this for the first year,

353
00:26:08,420 --> 00:26:13,160
and everybody's happy would not necessarily each event,

354
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,180
be an entertainment zone with that be considered,

355
00:26:16,180 --> 00:26:17,900
or is that just too many layers?

356
00:26:18,580 --> 00:26:21,140
I think it's something we are talking about,

357
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:22,800
but for this series, we just couldn't know.

358
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:23,460
I went on the edges.

359
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:25,840
Yeah, for a person who won, yeah, we could definitely

360
00:26:26,420 --> 00:26:27,880
look at that.

361
00:26:28,620 --> 00:26:30,600
And maybe we'll learn how to be more efficient

362
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,880
on the internet, so it's not such a big deal.

363
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:37,440
That's how it does doesn't do any pain for her.

364
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:39,460
Well, they have a different set.

365
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:41,940
I know they don't do any pain.

366
00:26:41,940 --> 00:26:43,100
They don't do any bullies.

367
00:26:43,360 --> 00:26:44,120
They do it right now.

368
00:26:44,120 --> 00:26:49,520
Yeah, but this actually brings up another question that I have, Pam, and that we have the entertainment

369
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:59,060
so-and-for, Tifa, and I'll see me for the summer of soft arts, and all. And then we were on

370
00:26:59,060 --> 00:27:05,580
vacation for, you know, so we never heard a report on how well that went or how well the entertainment

371
00:27:05,580 --> 00:27:10,920
so-and-for, because I think what we really recognized early on was we're trying this for the first time.

372
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,260
So let's see how it works, how we can improve it,

373
00:27:13,260 --> 00:27:15,220
how we can make it easier and all of that.

374
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,560
So I'm just curious if we can, I don't know,

375
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:18,840
today is the day you do that.

376
00:27:18,980 --> 00:27:20,760
We can have a report on how successfully

377
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:22,860
and the team that some was, what we learned from it.

378
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:24,860
Yeah, so I've got a couple slides

379
00:27:24,860 --> 00:27:26,440
that we'll talk about the summer soccer,

380
00:27:26,660 --> 00:27:27,520
and we can touch on that.

381
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:29,320
Yeah, but yeah, it's a great question.

382
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:31,840
And we'll, I'll save my comments.

383
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:32,220
Okay.

384
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:32,900
Yeah.

385
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:35,540
Anything else about the maker's work?

386
00:27:35,780 --> 00:27:37,000
I hope you all come.

387
00:27:38,660 --> 00:27:47,160
But the bigger market on that topic is not to me, gastro, and some comments.

388
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:55,580
So third and some people have looked and do ask me about what have like like, like,

389
00:27:55,580 --> 00:27:56,080
oh, okay.

390
00:27:56,340 --> 00:27:57,500
They're missing, they're missing.

391
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,760
So there shouldn't be any bike racks missing.

392
00:28:00,940 --> 00:28:05,020
In fact, we received a grant to put more bike racks out.

393
00:28:05,180 --> 00:28:07,520
So some may have been moved around slightly.

394
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:14,580
but there is a net increase in bike rack that are in the downtown, which is great to see.

395
00:28:15,180 --> 00:28:19,920
I did do some strategic moving of bike racks, like there was a bike rack right in front of

396
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:26,120
Alexander participatory as you know, entryway that was breaking up their patio from their front door,

397
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:31,560
and so I worked with our public works team to have it relocated. But other than that, there shouldn't

398
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:39,620
any bike racks that are gone. It's not missing. Yeah, so it's not missing. It's been strategically

399
00:28:39,620 --> 00:28:44,000
relocated to the fourth episode. Where it's gone though? I can't remember that one may have

400
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:49,760
ended up in front of Ludwig's. They've got a pretty big space kind of in a what you see

401
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:55,220
a parking spot. Yeah, just down the street. But I walked to the street with the public work scene

402
00:28:55,220 --> 00:29:00,980
and helped them strategically place it so that it wouldn't impede the flow of business. You know,

403
00:29:00,980 --> 00:29:03,980
either being directly in front of their business, or in the case of out-of-the-end

404
00:29:03,980 --> 00:29:07,700
or participories were created this barrier if you're walking out of there with food,

405
00:29:07,860 --> 00:29:10,980
you've got to kind of climb over the bike rack to get to the patty of your car,

406
00:29:11,100 --> 00:29:14,160
so. But yeah, there should be more bike racks out in that left.

407
00:29:14,500 --> 00:29:17,960
We're getting good use of the web notifications, especially sometimes I'm like,

408
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:22,400
well, it can't get us thought later. Yeah, we're trying to place them, you know,

409
00:29:22,580 --> 00:29:30,960
it's supposed to be intersection as possible. Because we're seeing, you know, we don't

410
00:29:31,420 --> 00:29:36,640
And so by placing them on the corners or hoping people will park their bikes and then stroll.

411
00:29:37,020 --> 00:29:37,180
Isn't it?

412
00:29:37,620 --> 00:29:37,740
Yeah.

413
00:29:38,260 --> 00:29:42,780
So you know, sometimes it's like fun, but I still feel like Grant and E.J. as we like to know about

414
00:29:42,780 --> 00:29:43,660
the bike rack.

415
00:29:44,020 --> 00:29:44,040
OK.

416
00:29:44,300 --> 00:29:44,740
Mark, let's have.

417
00:29:44,740 --> 00:29:49,540
You want a big part of what we heard from the community in the public arts strategy.

418
00:29:49,660 --> 00:29:53,120
Outreach was the desire for functional art, so something like a bike rack.

419
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:58,080
The challenge with brands often is that they have really firm deadlines, and so in the case

420
00:29:58,080 --> 00:29:59,960
of this grant, we just didn't have the time to...

421
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:26,320
And then the case of our downtown where we have limited spots for bike racks. We don't want them to take up the entirety of downtown. We need them to be fairly helpful. But it's a great question and absolutely one that we're just going, you know.

422
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:32,620
Yeah, but at least we can simply call a code it, you know, let's people know that the

423
00:30:32,620 --> 00:30:38,340
green color is perfect. But so they will fight by crack sports or both is perfect.

424
00:30:38,700 --> 00:30:42,180
All the few balls is in a particular reason, maybe temporary.

425
00:30:43,260 --> 00:30:46,500
Um, it would be good to know which ones, and I'll have the staff go out.

426
00:30:46,780 --> 00:30:49,560
Yeah, because I thought maybe this temporary doesn't want to try it out.

427
00:30:50,300 --> 00:30:54,360
Oh, just go there. Oh, they will step on it with the most moving. Well, there's a couple different

428
00:30:54,360 --> 00:31:01,140
There's ones that are sort of all attached to one another, like a sled almost, and then there's a couple of individual ones.

429
00:31:01,660 --> 00:31:04,780
So, you know, I think they're all bolted differently.

430
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:08,980
I think we're also trying to be really focused on how many pulls we're putting into the ground.

431
00:31:09,780 --> 00:31:15,280
So, you know, it may be an ever-testing stuff, tempting locations out, but I'll have to question if you can let me know which ones.

432
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:22,580
One more thing, a couple of businesses mentioned about the trash.

433
00:31:23,460 --> 00:31:31,940
especially when you get summer time with a lot of people come in and also trash can just get filled up and is the outside so often

434
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,240
or who are taking contact with this.

435
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:36,580
Yeah, you can have them.

436
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:38,700
I have businesses reach out to me.

437
00:31:39,180 --> 00:31:42,020
There is a production that happens every day.

438
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,880
So there's the morning through that gets out there.

439
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,600
But certainly if we're finding that it's our receptacles are sufficient,

440
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:50,580
you know, we'll go on a look into that.

441
00:31:51,200 --> 00:32:05,040
I guess the question I would raise to you know is is it a problem with overflow of the receptacles for people not using receptacles or flow of your information and then even they went outside and put in the bag and put the bag on its sides.

442
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:11,320
So it's a look at basically, as clean place, you know, there's a lot of right there.

443
00:32:11,980 --> 00:32:14,740
And yeah, and in that case, we'll have to reach out to the gelato place.

444
00:32:14,740 --> 00:32:20,960
So part of what is required of businesses without door patio areas is there that they need to have their own trash outside.

445
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:25,080
They're not supposed to be depending on city public trash cans.

446
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:29,980
And there's both to have recycling trash and compost available for their patrons.

447
00:32:29,980 --> 00:32:37,380
So we'll do some follow-up with our data outside the audience side.

448
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:43,380
If in an outdoor patio, yeah, we have a bit of a requirement for...

449
00:32:43,380 --> 00:32:43,580
They do.

450
00:32:44,300 --> 00:32:45,120
They do.

451
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,860
And they definitely don't have outdoor trash.

452
00:32:48,140 --> 00:32:49,220
Yeah, I'm always searching for it.

453
00:32:49,380 --> 00:32:52,420
They just go, oh, oh, do us some stuff by and check out them.

454
00:32:52,460 --> 00:32:53,600
Thank you for finding that.

455
00:32:53,740 --> 00:32:54,180
That's really helpful.

456
00:32:55,100 --> 00:32:55,640
Yeah, certainly not nice.

457
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:56,000
Of course.

458
00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:01,100
to email you know that you can always use as mountain view to report some of these issues.

459
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,420
You know that he's coming to chat with us.

460
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:06,840
I know, yeah.

461
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:07,600
Well, I do that.

462
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:08,920
And it works very good.

463
00:33:09,220 --> 00:33:11,580
I just saw the trash on my way up.

464
00:33:11,700 --> 00:33:12,520
He'll build us fishing.

465
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:13,520
I'm going to do that.

466
00:33:13,660 --> 00:33:14,800
Thank you for that.

467
00:33:15,220 --> 00:33:16,400
I'll have a conversation with them.

468
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:17,960
They're very nice.

469
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:19,120
And is there more?

470
00:33:19,860 --> 00:33:20,720
Oh, there's more slides.

471
00:33:21,300 --> 00:33:23,320
No, I'm at 6.2.

472
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:24,660
Yeah.

473
00:33:24,660 --> 00:33:26,580
Yeah, that's right.

474
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:28,880
Oh yeah, but this one I'm going to defer to Pete.

475
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:31,780
Wait, there's one.

476
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:33,740
Oh my god.

477
00:33:34,340 --> 00:33:35,760
We're going to get off of that.

478
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:38,880
Yes, the 54th annual.

479
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:40,080
Coming up.

480
00:33:40,580 --> 00:33:41,900
Hopefully all of you are volunteering.

481
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,580
We are proceeding as you might guess.

482
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:47,740
Full speed ahead.

483
00:33:48,220 --> 00:33:51,900
If you walk into the chamber, you won't be able to get through the alleyway of stuff.

484
00:33:54,280 --> 00:34:00,560
The main thing that I want people to know about 54th Annual Art and Mind Festival is a couple of things.

485
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,580
First of all, is that lot 12 is not available.

486
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:05,760
We are putting a housing there.

487
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:13,880
So parking will be a little bit more of a hard for folks that said we do have a lovely parking structure.

488
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:19,060
that stand in the street that hardly ever is full. But we are encouraging, of course, you know,

489
00:34:19,060 --> 00:34:26,600
public transportation, we're also not modifying Uber and Lyft and all the others that they can't

490
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:32,300
draw people off it off a lot, 12. They should actually go over a lot that over a block up the street

491
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:41,620
where it's a little safer to do than that. So we've done that. From, I mentioned that in front of

492
00:34:41,620 --> 00:34:46,680
There is some destruction going on, but it's very well-walled off, so it should be perfectly safe.

493
00:34:47,620 --> 00:34:53,440
And other than that, it's all about, I think, what's new, what's changed.

494
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:59,980
The biggest change that we've got is that for last year or you may recall, we have the wine tasting.

495
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:07,920
And each experience, which was a special large tent, and you have a passport and you got to sample about a dozen different wines from it, about dozen different wineries.

496
00:35:08,580 --> 00:35:11,520
Most of them are back, which is great. We've also introduced some new ones.

497
00:35:12,260 --> 00:35:24,560
But we got the feedback from the wineries saying, you know, we really would love to sell some bottles rather than just do the civic. And so we actually have a bottle sale area now, accompanying the wine tasting area.

498
00:35:26,900 --> 00:35:37,940
So that's all rolling and we're just now praying for good weather, lots of people to come and all of that to stay in the car.

499
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:40,020
There's a warm up.

500
00:35:40,260 --> 00:35:41,180
Yeah, there's a warm up coming.

501
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:42,260
It's not going to be like stay.

502
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,900
There's so many people who are mixed on this question.

503
00:35:46,220 --> 00:35:47,300
Oh God, it's so cold.

504
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:47,760
They're all gone.

505
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:48,800
It's so hot or whatever.

506
00:35:48,980 --> 00:35:51,280
So I'm hoping they're just that beautiful, wonderful day.

507
00:35:51,300 --> 00:35:52,080
No rain.

508
00:35:52,460 --> 00:35:52,800
No rain.

509
00:35:54,740 --> 00:36:02,900
So it has rained on, it rained before, so anyway, anyway, anyway, the, and the entertainment

510
00:36:02,900 --> 00:36:11,720
zone rules don't really apply because we have the hyperbole, which is nice, but please tell

511
00:36:11,720 --> 00:36:13,880
everybody, I'm on down, enjoy.

512
00:36:16,660 --> 00:36:21,740
All right, so we'll have the, our mind festival September 12th and 13th, and then first thing,

513
00:36:21,740 --> 00:36:25,920
I didn't want to say one thing about the art microscope because you're mentioning it about

514
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:33,540
bike racks and all of that. The friends of Stephen Creek Trail will again be manning our bicycle rack area.

515
00:36:34,180 --> 00:36:39,040
It's usually down on right at church and cathode across the street.

516
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:42,860
Yeah, it's bus to Wells Fargo back.

517
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:46,000
We able to use the Wells Fargo lot this year.

518
00:36:46,720 --> 00:36:47,980
No, okay.

519
00:36:49,620 --> 00:36:50,320
I'm sorry.

520
00:36:50,540 --> 00:36:50,920
Wait a minute.

521
00:36:51,100 --> 00:36:53,640
Are you talking about the old Wells Fargo Lotter, the new Wells Fargo Lotter?

522
00:36:53,780 --> 00:36:55,280
You're talking about the lot in front of the chamber?

523
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:55,920
Yes.

524
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,660
We are able to use the last year.

525
00:36:58,940 --> 00:36:59,540
It's our last year.

526
00:36:59,700 --> 00:37:00,920
Parking or just like that?

527
00:37:01,420 --> 00:37:01,960
For the kids.

528
00:37:02,220 --> 00:37:04,360
I don't know.

529
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:05,120
For the kids.

530
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:06,780
Yeah.

531
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:07,340
No problem.

532
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:08,060
All right.

533
00:37:08,300 --> 00:37:09,820
So the Monday following art and wine.

534
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:14,300
We're going to have a crew out to do a touch up of the ribbons.

535
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:16,460
They'll be out there, you know.

536
00:37:16,460 --> 00:37:22,800
and picking up pieces of the street that are kind of flaking off and repainting.

537
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:24,620
Like the blue plastic liner.

538
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:29,240
Oh, I see.

539
00:37:30,860 --> 00:37:32,080
So, right, oh man.

540
00:37:33,380 --> 00:37:35,960
So yeah, they'll be out there doing them touch-ups of it.

541
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:38,540
So we're learning the downtown businesses making sure they're aware.

542
00:37:38,780 --> 00:37:40,620
It should be pretty low impact,

543
00:37:40,780 --> 00:37:42,380
but they'll be really spot-

544
00:37:42,380 --> 00:37:45,420
spot- doing spot touch-ups versus an entire street closure.

545
00:37:45,420 --> 00:37:55,140
So, how has the paint performed that I know you, like I got all tire marked and whatever right away?

546
00:37:56,260 --> 00:38:07,800
Yeah, you know, it's a highly trafficked area and so it was surprisingly quick how dirty it got and that's from people's building copies and they screens and walking.

547
00:38:08,700 --> 00:38:13,100
So, you know, I think it's great, it's demonstrating that it's a pretty well-utilized face,

548
00:38:13,300 --> 00:38:17,240
but it is something we're looking at, you know, what's the long term plan for this, what's

549
00:38:17,240 --> 00:38:21,480
the maintenance plan that we need to make sure it's looking good, yeah.

550
00:38:22,780 --> 00:38:28,380
And I will say when we first evaluated options, we were looking at, you know, something more

551
00:38:28,380 --> 00:38:32,120
temporary, something more permanent, because this is something that we were testing out.

552
00:38:32,340 --> 00:38:37,460
We kind of took a middle-to-road approach with the products we used, so we learned a lot

553
00:38:37,460 --> 00:38:44,260
about the community's interested in and what if we were going to do a permanent, permanent

554
00:38:44,260 --> 00:38:46,900
installation, you know, we'd have to look at some materials.

555
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:51,120
It's enough to use, like, for bike lanes and stuff, right?

556
00:38:51,260 --> 00:38:52,380
It's not even that.

557
00:38:52,660 --> 00:38:53,120
It's nasty.

558
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:53,800
That's fine.

559
00:38:54,020 --> 00:38:58,820
I mean, all of it is more workfire, you know, regular cleaning and we do have a maintenance,

560
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:04,460
you know, maintenance plan is regular power washing that happens, but you know, it's a busy

561
00:39:04,460 --> 00:39:04,860
downtown.

562
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:06,100
It's a street.

563
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:06,600
It's a street.

564
00:39:07,180 --> 00:39:09,400
It is a really good thing.

565
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:15,340
Can I add it about the, you talk about our washing, all that, every time I see these people cleaning,

566
00:39:16,620 --> 00:39:19,400
the carpet, the green carpet, well, the games aren't all that.

567
00:39:19,540 --> 00:39:22,060
They're really wonderful cleaning that's all cleaning.

568
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:23,500
They scrubbed everything out.

569
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:25,040
You take it granted.

570
00:39:25,300 --> 00:39:26,700
You didn't know that from a dirt in there.

571
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:28,100
But it comes out very nice.

572
00:39:28,540 --> 00:39:30,340
Yeah, the power rock in this a good job.

573
00:39:31,100 --> 00:39:31,880
That was great.

574
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:33,160
What's just that?

575
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:40,440
All right, just a sort of update, we're going to be going to council next week, just to renew

576
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:43,160
the farmers' markets use of lots for an eight.

577
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:48,400
Obviously, since a lot 12 is no longer available as their alternate sites during a 49er home

578
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:52,540
games, lots for an eight have become their news sort of altered it location.

579
00:39:52,820 --> 00:39:59,980
So again, farmers' markets will have the transit center, but on those 49er home games, which is about

580
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:05,820
6 to 8 days a year, there'll be a lot for an eight until that who tells Bill.

581
00:40:06,820 --> 00:40:07,340
Well,

582
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:20,460
we will, we've let the farmers market know that there is plan development there and we'll have to work with them to find another location.

583
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:26,620
But given, you know, the size of the lot and the size of the market and therefore for configuration,

584
00:40:26,620 --> 00:40:30,220
it is challenging to find a perfect location.

585
00:40:30,820 --> 00:40:33,920
We talked, we had a lot of conversations about different sites

586
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,300
and we're going to have to continue to think really

587
00:40:36,300 --> 00:40:39,160
creatively about where the market extends.

588
00:40:40,240 --> 00:40:43,960
You have the dates on when the 900 games are.

589
00:40:44,900 --> 00:40:45,840
It's in the staff report,

590
00:40:45,860 --> 00:40:47,360
I don't have it on the top of my head.

591
00:40:49,540 --> 00:40:50,650
We see a debt lot.

592
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:53,860
I was going to get one time as a one move for the started.

593
00:40:54,180 --> 00:40:54,720
We fund.

594
00:40:54,720 --> 00:41:02,600
Oh, let's mark it. You, you, you have a history of having been on that line.

595
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:08,340
Yeah, I mean, it was only on four. Right.

596
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:13,760
And so now it's four and they and they will have.

597
00:41:14,660 --> 00:41:20,660
They'll be monitoring the street and encouraging people to this broth box that we encourage everyone to be safe.

598
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:31,920
I'm not sure.

599
00:41:33,100 --> 00:41:34,120
They never have a math.

600
00:41:34,620 --> 00:41:36,000
So it's just an exciting thing.

601
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:37,400
So it's just an exciting thing about now because it's going to be changed.

602
00:41:37,700 --> 00:41:38,440
Some people will be.

603
00:41:38,460 --> 00:41:39,880
It'll be an exploration.

604
00:41:41,060 --> 00:41:42,140
Find new vendors.

605
00:41:42,660 --> 00:41:42,840
I think.

606
00:41:44,300 --> 00:41:44,960
All right.

607
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:45,560
Some are soccer.

608
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:49,420
So we have made it to, we made it to the far end of the few

609
00:41:49,420 --> 00:41:54,580
World Cup which was exciting. And as you know, we had business deals and events, opportunity

610
00:41:54,580 --> 00:42:01,480
for play, and then our big weekend, watch party. The mini pitch was wildly successful. So this

611
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:05,960
was a little mini soccer field that we set up next to Sioux Hall and in front of the chamber

612
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:11,560
in the old Wells Fargo lot. This was something that, you know, staff just sort of had this random

613
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:16,860
idea and somehow we were able to make it happen. And I would say it's one of the more successful things

614
00:42:16,860 --> 00:42:18,920
that we did for World Cup.

615
00:42:19,020 --> 00:42:21,580
There were kids out there every single day.

616
00:42:21,940 --> 00:42:23,840
My office overlooks it to the mini-pitch.

617
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:26,240
And so I got to watch kids and families

618
00:42:26,240 --> 00:42:29,500
and people coming by in the afternoon,

619
00:42:30,780 --> 00:42:32,940
it was really, really exciting to see.

620
00:42:33,240 --> 00:42:34,620
And we did some strategic pop-ups.

621
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:37,180
We had a pop-up with the Santa Day earthquakes

622
00:42:37,180 --> 00:42:38,260
and they brought a few.

623
00:42:38,380 --> 00:42:42,060
There are Mads guys and little blue muppet

624
00:42:42,060 --> 00:42:43,360
like character there.

625
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:46,000
And then we actually had some Bay SD players

626
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:49,800
So that photo in the middle, we had two of their players come and they signed autographs

627
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:54,240
and then they ended up jumping into the pitch and playing with the kids, which was really cool.

628
00:42:55,260 --> 00:43:00,920
MVLA, the Mountain View, lost out those soccer clubs, came and did some pick-up games.

629
00:43:01,460 --> 00:43:06,520
And then we had business pop-ups, so Booksy came and did a taller time, we did yoga with yoga belly.

630
00:43:06,820 --> 00:43:15,260
We had stretch labs come and do some stretching of people that came by others as well.

631
00:43:15,260 --> 00:43:16,740
but this was just really exciting,

632
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:18,640
and we were able to extend it in extra week

633
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:20,460
because the community loved it so much.

634
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:23,020
But ultimately, if we know we have art and wine coming up

635
00:43:23,020 --> 00:43:25,800
and other play activity, so it was not something

636
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:26,960
we were able to do permanently,

637
00:43:27,660 --> 00:43:31,120
but it really made for a special couple of weeks having that there.

638
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:35,540
We also had the, put golf course at Fenster Park

639
00:43:35,540 --> 00:43:37,220
that saw pretty regular use.

640
00:43:37,260 --> 00:43:40,180
We had little score cards that we had to regularly refill,

641
00:43:40,220 --> 00:43:42,840
which was a good indicator that it was made with the use.

642
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:48,900
So that was exciting to kind of bring some soccer celebration to another part of the city.

643
00:43:50,260 --> 00:43:51,620
And then, of course, we had our week of celebration.

644
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:55,900
So you can see from these photos that it was packed downtown.

645
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:58,420
People were really excited to come together.

646
00:43:58,900 --> 00:44:03,380
I heard from a lot of community members, how special it felt,

647
00:44:03,720 --> 00:44:06,480
they kind of be in this community space,

648
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:07,930
celebrating and cheering together.

649
00:44:09,060 --> 00:44:12,240
It's crazy to think about what that intersection looks like

650
00:44:12,240 --> 00:44:15,440
just on an average day and compared to, you know,

651
00:44:15,720 --> 00:44:17,180
was literally standing remotely.

652
00:44:18,020 --> 00:44:20,720
It was difficult to make it from one to another.

653
00:44:21,260 --> 00:44:22,640
So that was really exciting.

654
00:44:24,140 --> 00:44:26,140
We had a lot of activities for kids

655
00:44:26,140 --> 00:44:28,720
and so we saw people bringing their kids down

656
00:44:28,720 --> 00:44:32,280
and people were doing lots of takeout from the restaurants

657
00:44:33,050 --> 00:44:34,760
in terms of the entertainment zone.

658
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:38,340
This was one of the larger events.

659
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:40,220
I think we're saying we saw, you know,

660
00:44:41,260 --> 00:44:44,300
around 10,000 people coming through over the course of the weekend.

661
00:44:44,740 --> 00:44:50,420
So with a big turnout, in terms of the entertainment zone,

662
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:53,040
a couple of things we learned one, we need to promote it more,

663
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:57,020
what exactly it meant, and what attendees could participate.

664
00:44:57,520 --> 00:44:59,720
People didn't realize, you know, when I made the announcement.

665
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:08,180
For this speaker, like, hey, you can grab drinks from the office of the people who are like, what, we can? So we need to do a better job of educating and promoting what it is.

666
00:45:08,660 --> 00:45:27,000
I will say, you know, in terms of logistics, it was a lot of work to have a every entrance staff to ensure people weren't leaving the area without the hall. And because the way downtown is that up, we had to close, you know, we closed the intersection. We had all of those midblock crossing that either needed to be closed down or staffed.

667
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:30,440
So it's a big lift, staff-wise for this.

668
00:45:30,780 --> 00:45:33,940
The other thing is we had the restaurants

669
00:45:33,940 --> 00:45:39,500
that serve alcohol, but we didn't account for the businesses

670
00:45:39,500 --> 00:45:42,660
that are kind of grocery convenience store businesses

671
00:45:42,660 --> 00:45:46,120
who are able to sell alcohol and people can walk out the door.

672
00:45:46,300 --> 00:45:50,480
So we had a number of people who were not using the designated cups

673
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:53,020
or had wristband, but were just drinking like a can

674
00:45:53,020 --> 00:45:57,200
that they bought from, you know, one of the other businesses in the downtown.

675
00:45:57,580 --> 00:46:02,660
And so, became this, you know, a child, it became challenging to try and enforce

676
00:46:02,660 --> 00:46:07,020
because there were different ways that people were firing alcohol and some of them were

677
00:46:07,020 --> 00:46:09,440
within the confines of the program and some were not.

678
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:15,000
So, we'll have to work through how we navigate that and figure out how we can make sure

679
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:17,700
everyone's getting expanded to the consumer's output.

680
00:46:18,620 --> 00:46:19,060
Yeah.

681
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:28,780
Just as a, as a sort of technical question, and obviously, you know, how you write it, that,

682
00:46:28,780 --> 00:46:35,160
like, for the article, I mean, we get a firm at, you know, allows, you know, on street

683
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:35,660
drinking.

684
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:39,780
But we don't have to monitor, you know, call the entrances of everything.

685
00:46:40,420 --> 00:46:46,720
So is that just the way it was set up, but we could do it to your company and not have to

686
00:46:46,720 --> 00:46:47,160
do that?

687
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:49,760
I mean, there's that and maybe zebra car.

688
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:55,000
So we all regard to have signage at all of the areas

689
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:58,420
and because of the scale and type of vendor could was,

690
00:46:58,420 --> 00:47:01,620
we felt that we needed to have someone at every entrance.

691
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:05,000
So it's still sort of an archoise.

692
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:07,960
Yeah, we're required to put together safety plan

693
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:11,080
with the police department and so you know,

694
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:14,780
given world connectivity and in bringing a very

695
00:47:14,780 --> 00:47:18,900
and we've the optic grouse, we were able to protect that approach.

696
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:21,680
We would evaluate it on a case like a faceist,

697
00:47:21,700 --> 00:47:24,260
you know, for something like the makers market.

698
00:47:24,300 --> 00:47:26,320
Let's just say for example, we talk with PD

699
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:27,840
about what they feel comfortable with

700
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:30,220
in terms of how we approach the boundary monitoring

701
00:47:30,860 --> 00:47:32,100
and safety plans.

702
00:47:32,420 --> 00:47:35,700
So it really depends, in this case,

703
00:47:36,100 --> 00:47:37,640
we did feel we needed to have boundary problems.

704
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:40,280
Yeah, I mean, yeah, many people and stuff.

705
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:42,480
Then again, rivalries.

706
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:47,280
Yeah, and then the other question is, you know, how much monitoring are we doing through

707
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:51,200
the idea of containment zone? And so that's another piece. I mean, one of the challenges we

708
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:56,820
had is that, you know, the very clear, not allowed to have blasts out in the street and people

709
00:47:56,820 --> 00:48:01,180
were, and so they were broken. A lot of, you know, one or two cases, they've been a lot

710
00:48:01,180 --> 00:48:07,000
bottle that we had to address. So, you know, it was, it was given how many people were there,

711
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:09,900
it was hard to be doing a lot of enforcement inside the zone.

712
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:21,880
We had eight police officers at each event and they were roaming the event and then

713
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:27,340
tried parking lots and so we had dedicated police staff for each event.

714
00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:34,100
I'm curious to only because it was a big conversation beforehand. Was there any comments on the

715
00:48:34,100 --> 00:48:38,980
to the glass. We did get some feedback from the businesses that the

716
00:48:38,980 --> 00:48:42,020
glass was too small but we didn't hear from the kids.

717
00:48:47,300 --> 00:48:48,560
Well again a lot of good

718
00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:51,560
lessons learned. We've been directed by Council to come back made way through and

719
00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:56,260
look at how we could expand this to allow non city events to activate the

720
00:48:56,260 --> 00:49:00,060
entertainment zone. So we're in a process of exploring that.

721
00:49:00,340 --> 00:49:04,340
Is there any other or any others on the book?

722
00:49:04,900 --> 00:49:09,520
Not at this time, yeah, all right.

723
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:13,560
And then lastly, oh, no, oh, no, I thought you'd done this these times.

724
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:14,680
Oh, I've got a couple more.

725
00:49:14,720 --> 00:49:16,860
Oh, oh, yeah, I have something to add to it.

726
00:49:16,900 --> 00:49:17,160
Okay.

727
00:49:18,300 --> 00:49:20,200
And of course, business promotion with the big piece of this,

728
00:49:20,240 --> 00:49:22,980
and we collaborated closely with the chamber around social media

729
00:49:22,980 --> 00:49:25,100
promotions and businesses running deals.

730
00:49:25,780 --> 00:49:30,320
We had our, you know, again, our summer of soccer map business

731
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:31,940
promotion map, I checked.

732
00:49:32,020 --> 00:49:34,760
We had almost 15,000 views, which is really great.

733
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:38,020
And, actually, I've spoken to businesses who, you know,

734
00:49:38,660 --> 00:49:41,120
Ava's, or simply support, talked about, you know,

735
00:49:41,240 --> 00:49:45,240
they had a 4x increase in revenue over the course of the people world

736
00:49:45,240 --> 00:49:47,660
have tournament, which is amazing to see.

737
00:49:47,740 --> 00:49:51,340
I think other businesses similarly did, to really well.

738
00:49:51,860 --> 00:49:54,220
So, we were seeing that this was great for our businesses

739
00:49:54,220 --> 00:49:58,340
and as part of our goal of driving, you know, economic benefit to the community

740
00:49:58,340 --> 00:49:59,920
having those increases.

741
00:50:00,020 --> 00:50:10,320
From businesses who's good to see. All right, one would we see any, like sales tax reports on.

742
00:50:10,860 --> 00:50:17,460
So I just thought Q1 sales tax. And this one's challenging. We hit the people, World Tournament,

743
00:50:17,860 --> 00:50:24,320
process over Q2 and Q3. So it'll be a little bit more difficult. But let's see it August now.

744
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:32,440
And I just saw Q1, the probably by the end of the year, I'll see Q2, but again, it'll be, it'll be for me.

745
00:50:37,370 --> 00:50:37,490
Yeah.

746
00:50:37,970 --> 00:50:42,630
So, I just wanted to add, we missed the poor whole lease.

747
00:50:42,750 --> 00:50:43,150
Oh.

748
00:50:43,230 --> 00:50:46,250
And if you know, it's been passing a lot of people with some people going to go,

749
00:50:46,370 --> 00:50:50,630
they have their own charity, you know, or dogs and all of that.

750
00:50:50,830 --> 00:50:52,170
We wrapped their other room down.

751
00:50:52,170 --> 00:50:53,910
Yeah, on on bags.

752
00:50:54,450 --> 00:51:04,310
people have to be very serious that it is fun watching some of these people have been learning

753
00:51:04,310 --> 00:51:08,010
from them to you and then they are getting better.

754
00:51:11,910 --> 00:51:15,550
Maybe maybe we can have a next year or so,

755
00:51:15,550 --> 00:51:20,450
We can have like, if some other city can form also, and then we can be competing.

756
00:51:22,170 --> 00:51:26,790
Yeah, that's fun. Yeah, well, that's been, they ended up extending it to two nights

757
00:51:26,790 --> 00:51:31,450
because it was so well participated last year. So we're really great to see.

758
00:51:32,750 --> 00:51:40,710
All right, and that ends my presentation. All right, great. And again, and I don't see anybody

759
00:51:40,710 --> 00:51:44,430
online. I'll excuse me.

760
00:51:45,330 --> 00:51:48,330
Yeah. Well, just for the record.

761
00:51:48,850 --> 00:51:50,850
I found that you guys do a fantastic job.

762
00:51:51,290 --> 00:51:54,230
I'm very glad this can be this.

763
00:51:55,050 --> 00:51:58,790
I only just had a plan of record because as the festival

764
00:51:58,790 --> 00:52:01,550
as deep world couples was for a downtown.

765
00:52:01,990 --> 00:52:03,710
Is there possibilities to explore other

766
00:52:03,710 --> 00:52:05,030
or other sporting events, naturally,

767
00:52:05,150 --> 00:52:07,290
internationally, that we could feature at downtown,

768
00:52:07,710 --> 00:52:09,410
possibly, whether it's going to be

769
00:52:09,410 --> 00:52:13,730
and I'll be based event, or something for the NFL,

770
00:52:13,950 --> 00:52:15,290
I'll just come up with what it does.

771
00:52:15,650 --> 00:52:19,490
As pointy events are very often not just here in the Mountain Gate,

772
00:52:19,690 --> 00:52:20,890
but just throughout the entire area,

773
00:52:21,090 --> 00:52:25,390
I think you really grew up to be for the city cat-wide box,

774
00:52:25,850 --> 00:52:30,730
whether that's going to be a single bowl, 75 or something like

775
00:52:30,730 --> 00:52:32,510
on the blind, just something to think about.

776
00:52:32,990 --> 00:52:33,670
Thank you.

777
00:52:33,970 --> 00:52:35,370
I mean, certainly if something I'd like to

778
00:52:35,370 --> 00:52:36,670
just step up with the downtown businesses,

779
00:52:37,030 --> 00:52:38,550
you know, the wash parties were so successful,

780
00:52:38,550 --> 00:52:42,450
and so many businesses were able to put TV that and activate their outdoor patio.

781
00:52:43,150 --> 00:52:45,730
So it could be really fun to be the game zone.

782
00:52:45,990 --> 00:52:47,970
And if the business is wanted to lead that charge,

783
00:52:48,130 --> 00:52:51,570
if the city would be supportive, certainly, you know,

784
00:52:51,690 --> 00:52:53,190
time to be around the summer.

785
00:52:53,490 --> 00:52:55,230
Yeah, super bowls of levels.

786
00:52:55,970 --> 00:52:57,790
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

787
00:52:57,790 --> 00:52:58,170
But we're mild.

788
00:52:59,130 --> 00:52:59,930
We'll have dinner.

789
00:53:00,290 --> 00:53:00,930
We'll be.

790
00:53:01,250 --> 00:53:03,490
Yeah, yeah, we've got to be fall and fucker.

791
00:53:03,530 --> 00:53:04,910
I'm certainly not burdened.

792
00:53:04,910 --> 00:53:05,790
Stanley God.

793
00:53:08,370 --> 00:53:17,090
And, again, if the business is wanted to leave that charge with, you know, kind of helping us create a little fan zone, we'd be supportive of that.

794
00:53:17,330 --> 00:53:35,270
I will say, you know, in terms of a city-led watch parties, like we did for the events around the Super Bowl and open the World FEP, those do require fight a bit of staff capacity and resources, and so that is something that this will be Council, but have to evaluate and determine whether they wanted to do that.

795
00:53:35,270 --> 00:53:42,550
This year, we were, you know, if you remember council allocated $200 and $95,000 for all of our

796
00:53:42,550 --> 00:53:49,230
rope up in Super Bowl activations. And so there was a sizable resources that were erected

797
00:53:49,230 --> 00:53:56,190
you to make that happen. And that was also kind of episodic, because the green wise

798
00:53:56,190 --> 00:54:03,770
stadium was a venue. That was a big drive up. Yeah, and it's all, and to my point, you know, it's all

799
00:54:03,770 --> 00:54:10,250
you know driving the public like I say no and that's not good to. But I like what you're saying

800
00:54:10,250 --> 00:54:15,930
out and I think that there are ways of doing that and especially you know also to support some

801
00:54:15,930 --> 00:54:21,810
of our lesser-known teams that are just like boundaries for example who are just having amazing

802
00:54:21,810 --> 00:54:26,870
you know one of the things like that and so whereas we might not get 10 people but to get a thousand

803
00:54:26,870 --> 00:54:32,170
he's all supportive and have that energy and I think it could be a really exciting to attack to

804
00:54:32,170 --> 00:54:46,690
Amanda's point, we've advanced at, you know, and understand that, you know, there's all licensing and all that sort of things that would have to be, you know, another education thing in terms of how you promote it and all that, and I think they're a wonderful ways of.

805
00:54:46,690 --> 00:54:47,210
Okay.

806
00:54:49,750 --> 00:54:52,670
Well then, let's move on to item 7.

807
00:54:53,430 --> 00:54:53,950
Be business.

808
00:54:55,430 --> 00:54:59,970
And it's our annual 7.1 business improvement area, and you will renew.

809
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:29,980
So it comes around again. And so just by way of background, we have two business improvement areas, also shortened to BIA. So our first BIA with established in 1983, and it includes, you know, pretty much the, everything in the red, in the red box there. So it more or less aligns with the downtown precise plan, although it's ever so slightly different just to really add. Just a little bit of, um,

810
00:55:30,780 --> 00:55:35,480
confusion for that. But you can see it, it includes all of the businesses in that

811
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:41,440
right area. And then BIA number two was created and so that is the shaded light

812
00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:47,280
blue area. That was created in 1991. And that one really just covers the one two

813
00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:52,660
and 300 blocks, the real four of downtown. And you know, it was sort of determined

814
00:55:52,660 --> 00:55:59,980
with those of the businesses that received the highest benefit from the, from the

815
00:55:59,980 --> 00:56:04,440
should be assessed at a higher rate because they're receiving a higher rate of benefit.

816
00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:11,380
And the effectments are really, again, based on the type of incident, you know, so it

817
00:56:11,380 --> 00:56:17,000
will be a restaurant, retail, professional, professional thought, you know, like an office space

818
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:21,430
and then VIA number two takes it one set further and looks at the type of

819
00:56:21,430 --> 00:56:25,770
business, but then also the square footage as well.

820
00:56:26,830 --> 00:56:33,050
And so on average, the fee assessed is $176 per business per year.

821
00:56:33,090 --> 00:56:34,050
That's on average.

822
00:56:34,510 --> 00:56:39,710
The minimum we've seen is 50, and the maximum is less than $400, so over the course of

823
00:56:39,710 --> 00:56:44,730
a year, this is a pretty small assessment, and this should be updated, it should actually be

824
00:56:44,730 --> 00:56:57,690
$60,000 in revenue, you've seen the VA grow on average about $5,000 a year, so I'm sure

825
00:56:57,690 --> 00:57:04,590
that you can grow it to, it's a very small assessment given the costs and the scope

826
00:57:04,590 --> 00:57:13,690
or the downtown business association, it's a very small revenue generated.

827
00:57:13,690 --> 00:57:15,590
It's certainly better than nothing, but, you know,

828
00:57:15,710 --> 00:57:17,790
if we're seeing comparatively based on the needs

829
00:57:17,790 --> 00:57:19,230
that we're hearing from the businesses

830
00:57:19,230 --> 00:57:20,950
and the community in terms of what they think

831
00:57:20,950 --> 00:57:25,690
is being down town continues to be challenging

832
00:57:25,690 --> 00:57:27,410
to several all the cops.

833
00:57:27,830 --> 00:57:30,510
And if you can, I'm going to say, well, to the reason

834
00:57:30,510 --> 00:57:34,250
that the chamber actually was asked to take over

835
00:57:34,250 --> 00:57:37,150
the operational end of the day, because the DB8

836
00:57:37,150 --> 00:57:38,350
couldn't be closed.

837
00:57:39,190 --> 00:57:42,070
So, yeah, I'm adjusted for inflation, I mean,

838
00:57:42,070 --> 00:57:48,130
And if a word adjusted for inflation, it might be several hundred thousand dollars

839
00:57:48,130 --> 00:57:51,450
in the year, it doesn't pose to 50 to 60.

840
00:57:53,050 --> 00:57:58,470
Or look at another way, it's actually about 10 cents of five per hour.

841
00:57:59,050 --> 00:58:03,610
Well, and the other piece about the IIT that's important in a number of you have heard this

842
00:58:03,610 --> 00:58:10,270
before, but for the record, is that the IIT has very strict rules on how it will

843
00:58:10,270 --> 00:58:18,290
employee and it really can only be used for marketing and the downtown businesses have needed

844
00:58:18,290 --> 00:58:22,710
especially during COVID that since then, you know, so much more than just marketing

845
00:58:22,710 --> 00:58:27,610
equipment. There's a lot of advocacy that we do on behalf of the downtown for example.

846
00:58:28,430 --> 00:58:34,450
And so I do believe the downtown businesses have benefited by fact that the chamber has kind

847
00:58:34,450 --> 00:58:38,990
of used our whole suite of resources even though it, you know, we're supplemented basically

848
00:58:38,990 --> 00:58:43,830
supplement, but we would get from the BIA, but just to use that money for marketing, I mean,

849
00:58:43,950 --> 00:58:48,290
as Mike says, adjusted for inflation, you know, that doesn't, that's barely, you know,

850
00:58:48,390 --> 00:58:52,830
cover, you know, that or to kind of think. And so the fact that we could use our, uh,

851
00:58:52,930 --> 00:58:57,590
the chamber resources, uh, really, really helps the, uh, the, uh, the, the, the, the, the,

852
00:58:57,950 --> 00:59:04,010
the, and I will say, um, you know, we are currently looking, uh, to do a broader analysis of

853
00:59:04,010 --> 00:59:08,830
our various districts and improvement areas. So we also have the parking, maintenance, district,

854
00:59:08,830 --> 00:59:14,090
which you looked at a couple months ago and then the IAA and these were all forms,

855
00:59:14,270 --> 00:59:18,110
you know, these were formed in the 80s and 90s. I believe the parking maintenance

856
00:59:18,110 --> 00:59:23,630
district was formed back in the 60s. So we've had these on the books a long time and

857
00:59:23,630 --> 00:59:28,470
so we'd like to do some analysis of, you know, if there are better ways, there are combined

858
00:59:28,470 --> 00:59:34,910
district, how can we best, you know, resource the downtown or the kinds of things that

859
00:59:34,910 --> 00:59:45,890
from the community and the down down to the visit that they want to see. So we're hoping to look at this strategically and really see if there are different models that we could deploy here.

860
00:59:46,990 --> 00:59:53,570
And so just a note of next steps. So we'll have the first public hearing next week's council meeting.

861
00:59:53,570 --> 00:59:57,010
So I think that's it is for Council on this view.

862
00:59:57,150 --> 00:59:59,010
We'll review the, for some programming.

863
00:59:59,250 --> 00:59:59,970
I think included the,

864
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:06,780
September, report as an attachment in this packet. They can receive any comments and then they'll, for

865
01:00:06,780 --> 01:00:15,320
luminarily, approve the report and then set a second hearing date to, particularly, the assessment.

866
01:00:15,980 --> 01:00:21,960
So, the second public hearing will be off to over 13. That will be when council gets the final approval. The

867
01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:32,480
this assessment and allocate at 2027 funds. 2027 funds from both BIAs to the chamber.

868
01:00:35,300 --> 01:00:37,040
All right, that concludes my presentation.

869
01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:41,940
Any additional questions on that?

870
01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:42,780
I have a question.

871
01:00:42,780 --> 01:00:45,260
Yeah, on page 7,

872
01:00:47,320 --> 01:00:52,560
there's a downtown business infrastructure, revenue in four tickets.

873
01:00:53,280 --> 01:00:54,880
So in 2025,

874
01:00:56,960 --> 01:01:02,040
a total of past three lives that are on the revenue of 109,000, wonderful.

875
01:01:02,780 --> 01:01:07,520
The expenses of 166,000 for a net income.

876
01:01:11,020 --> 01:01:26,380
and then forecast, October 5th, 2026, renews and anticipated at 251,000 and expenses at

877
01:01:26,380 --> 01:01:28,760
249,000 or 250.

878
01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:35,020
So why the dramatic is 40% increase in anticipated spendage?

879
01:01:35,100 --> 01:01:36,500
Excellent question.

880
01:01:37,640 --> 01:01:42,220
Last year, the chamber took it over after the deaths of Stines.

881
01:01:42,360 --> 01:01:44,100
It was our first time doing it.

882
01:01:44,540 --> 01:01:46,760
And Stines be us a lot of time.

883
01:01:48,180 --> 01:01:52,180
We have thousands of signs from Stines.

884
01:01:53,580 --> 01:01:54,280
Decorations.

885
01:01:55,280 --> 01:01:58,020
There is a lot of material that is passed on.

886
01:01:58,020 --> 01:02:01,900
And now we're having it, I don't do it scratchy with us.

887
01:02:04,920 --> 01:02:07,360
The other thing that should be noted about October Fest,

888
01:02:07,400 --> 01:02:11,060
I hope you all will find it, is that we've expanded the footprint.

889
01:02:11,920 --> 01:02:14,040
We've basically doubled the floor space.

890
01:02:14,360 --> 01:02:16,620
And so that has that sort of cost associated with it.

891
01:02:17,560 --> 01:02:25,820
So looking forward, though, is October Fest something that can be sustained,

892
01:02:26,420 --> 01:02:29,440
based on that's going to be in a different, you don't have the same facility,

893
01:02:29,440 --> 01:02:36,460
the same footprint, and I'd say, you know, that's a wonderful question, Dan, and it's

894
01:02:36,460 --> 01:02:40,500
one that we are wrestling with right now, especially those who've involved with a lot,

895
01:02:40,500 --> 01:02:41,540
a lot of us.

896
01:02:42,300 --> 01:02:43,700
How do we position it?

897
01:02:43,740 --> 01:02:45,660
How do we do it?

898
01:02:46,040 --> 01:02:47,420
So that remains to be seen.

899
01:02:47,620 --> 01:02:49,580
We need to look and make sure that this is sustainable.

900
01:02:49,920 --> 01:02:51,580
It's not just something we're just going to do to, right?

901
01:02:52,880 --> 01:02:54,960
Yeah, that's a wonderful event.

902
01:02:56,560 --> 01:02:58,660
It's not a charitable organization.

903
01:03:02,260 --> 01:03:15,930
Any other questions on 7.1, and still no, or public elements you're here, and you think you want to lay on this?

904
01:03:16,390 --> 01:03:19,930
I just have a thought, because it's back to the violations point of that.

905
01:03:20,170 --> 01:03:23,910
It feels like they're like, another thing, another event being really fun.

906
01:03:23,910 --> 01:03:26,510
It's a great time in year two. Watch Madness.

907
01:03:27,310 --> 01:03:27,910
Just saying.

908
01:03:28,490 --> 01:03:29,410
Because they're much badness.

909
01:03:30,010 --> 01:03:33,770
We've got to be like your pants.

910
01:03:34,090 --> 01:03:35,090
I mean, all the fun stuff.

911
01:03:36,330 --> 01:03:37,110
All right.

912
01:03:37,710 --> 01:03:40,350
Then we will close item 7.1.

913
01:03:41,510 --> 01:03:43,770
And move on to item 8.

914
01:03:44,350 --> 01:03:44,830
I'm ready.

915
01:03:45,750 --> 01:03:47,530
In the past, we're taking a vote on this.

916
01:03:47,710 --> 01:03:48,410
Could we just...

917
01:03:48,410 --> 01:03:48,770
Oh, sure.

918
01:03:49,270 --> 01:03:49,290
Yeah.

919
01:03:49,710 --> 01:03:50,930
Well, our base vote.

920
01:03:50,930 --> 01:04:02,030
So, we both on the recommendation of the BIA brand new law, would be appreciate it.

921
01:04:02,110 --> 01:04:03,350
Learning motion first.

922
01:04:04,870 --> 01:04:05,690
That's second.

923
01:04:06,130 --> 01:04:07,290
Are you making the motion?

924
01:04:08,010 --> 01:04:09,250
I'm not making.

925
01:04:09,690 --> 01:04:10,410
I'm as chair.

926
01:04:10,590 --> 01:04:11,770
I'm inviting a question.

927
01:04:12,810 --> 01:04:16,710
So, I know that we accept the report.

928
01:04:17,370 --> 01:04:19,490
And recommend the council.

929
01:04:19,490 --> 01:04:24,470
So, that the report key of the second note.

930
01:04:24,470 --> 01:04:28,590
Okay, seconded by Jamil, any discussion?

931
01:04:29,130 --> 01:04:30,170
The pointy, do you see?

932
01:04:31,350 --> 01:04:31,790
Probably.

933
01:04:33,010 --> 01:04:35,550
I mean, I don't think you have to, but maybe just heard it.

934
01:04:35,550 --> 01:04:37,910
Do you think we have a forum?

935
01:04:38,590 --> 01:04:39,370
I guess we do.

936
01:04:39,570 --> 01:04:39,810
Yeah.

937
01:04:39,910 --> 01:04:41,210
I think we could even within it.

938
01:04:41,210 --> 01:04:42,510
It makes a forum call.

939
01:04:46,270 --> 01:04:59,530
Okay, there is there any public input on the motion, all right, all in favor say I, I thank you the opposed and the abstentions.

940
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:09,660
So just a reminder that our next meeting will be in November for our calendars. We will not be in October and we will be each other the first Tuesday in November.

941
01:05:09,660 --> 01:05:13,520
and what things is that?

942
01:05:13,540 --> 01:05:16,120
First, Monday, Thursday, Thursday,

943
01:05:16,380 --> 01:05:16,860
Thursday, I'm November.

944
01:05:17,200 --> 01:05:18,300
That's what the fire is.

945
01:05:18,400 --> 01:05:18,640
Action day.

946
01:05:18,860 --> 01:05:21,340
But third, then is left with that.

947
01:05:21,480 --> 01:05:25,180
For this, then we go, you all have to vote in the afternoon.

948
01:05:25,180 --> 01:05:26,620
And I want to go all in to that.

949
01:05:26,700 --> 01:05:28,660
I'm going to be calling your vote.

950
01:05:28,960 --> 01:05:30,280
No, all in to the meeting.

951
01:05:31,020 --> 01:05:34,260
So if you haven't voted by the election,

952
01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:38,640
all of a sudden, but I mean, we are no longer allowed to do

953
01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:42,660
I think there are special circumstances, where are we going?

954
01:05:44,220 --> 01:05:44,280
Yeah.

955
01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:47,300
There's all sorts of rules around that.

956
01:05:47,460 --> 01:05:49,280
I mean, you can still do your emergency.

957
01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:50,260
Right.

958
01:05:50,400 --> 01:05:51,240
Join it.

959
01:05:51,320 --> 01:05:51,520
Yeah.

960
01:05:51,540 --> 01:05:54,860
You can still call and listen in, but I don't think it technically sounds.

961
01:05:55,720 --> 01:05:57,060
What about December?

962
01:05:57,580 --> 01:05:58,860
And then we don't need this ever.

963
01:05:59,100 --> 01:06:01,060
So November will be our last meeting up here.

964
01:06:03,080 --> 01:06:14,070
So, some business that mentioned that we can have meetings up in their business, you know,

965
01:06:14,310 --> 01:06:16,770
off-site, down to committee.

966
01:06:17,890 --> 01:06:18,510
You know, honey.

967
01:06:19,470 --> 01:06:26,350
And speaking to that, I think there was a note about people going to attend the downtown

968
01:06:26,350 --> 01:06:27,750
business meetings.

969
01:06:28,090 --> 01:06:32,850
How do we, if, for person, one of us wanted to attend, how do we get notice?

970
01:06:36,050 --> 01:06:49,990
The downtown business association meeting, they meet you here remind me the second Tuesday of the month, and I believe there's a mailing list so if you reach out to the chamber, they can add you to the downtown business association.

971
01:06:51,110 --> 01:06:52,990
How under invited or mailing list, that's correct.

972
01:06:53,830 --> 01:06:54,870
Yeah, I'll send you.

973
01:06:55,170 --> 01:06:55,480
Thank you.

974
01:06:57,190 --> 01:06:58,930
Okay, anything else in item eight?
