A
Good
afternoon,
everyone
I'm
Sandra
Kilgore,
chair
of
planning
and
economic
development
committee
and
I'd
like
to
welcome
all
of
you
to
the
July
10
2023
remote
meeting.
All
Council
committee
members
and
staff
are
participating
virtually
and
to
help
our
audience
follow
along
I'll
State.
Each

A
A
B
A
A
And
before
I
started,
the
meeting
I
want
to
point
out
that
the
third
item
on
the
agenda,
the
2024
special
events
program,
received
a
full
presentation
at
the
June
meeting
and
also
at
the
policy
and
finance
and
HR
recommended
approval
of
the
item
at
their
June
27th
meeting.
And
this
item
is
being
brought
back
to
the
meeting
for
recommendation
to
bring
this
item
to
the
full
Council.
A
Okay,
at
this
time,
we'd
like
to
have
the
Civic
Center
Commission
on
annual
update
and
that
will
be
presented
by
Donna
Bailey
Junior,
Pacific,
Center,
commissioning
and
also
it
will
be
the
2023
civil
Civic
Center
admissions
annual
update,
and
this
will
be
for
information
sharing.
Only.
E
Good
afternoon,
all
of
you
have
received
this
annual
report
in
January
I
believe
so.
You've
probably
had
a
lot
of
chance
to
read
it
so
I'll
just
go
through
it
quickly.
Katie.
You
can
turn
the
page
go
to
the
next
slide.
E
E
E
It
was
fabulous
welcome
of
the
Ukrainian
team
and
the
enhancements
that
have
been
made
include
software
technology
event,
equipment,
Arena,
HVAC,
repairs,
which
we'll
talk
about
a
little
bit
and
the
emergency
repairs
that
we
have
had
to
have
next
slide
and
Chris
Coral
jump
in
anytime,
I,
say:
I
misquote
information
which
can
happen.
E
The
hva
system,
heat
and
air
in
the
Arena
have
had
is
having
problems
to
the
point
where
they're
they
can't
be
used,
and
the
question
is
what
to
do
because,
for
instance,
the
Asheville
Symphony
can't
perform
on
that
stage.
The
stage
itself
happens
to
be
the
ceiling
was
falling
in,
so
we
now
have
netting
over
the
ceiling,
so
nobody
gets
hurt.
We
have
water
coming
through
the
ceiling.
The
if
you
haven't
been
there.
E
The
paint
is
just
literally
peeling
off
the
walls
and
there's
the
loading
the
docks
storm
water
is
now
failing,
which
is
causing
a
problem
and
the
t
w
a
HVAC
is
failing,
and
on
top
of
it,
even
trying
to
get
people
to
come
in
and
work
on.
The
hva
system
is
a
problem
because
the
attic
or
the
attic
area
isn't
OSHA
certified.
E
So
I'd
say
these
are
challenges
that
are
affecting
our
entire
Asheville
Buncombe
County
community,
where
it's
really
affecting
all
the
people
who
come
to
the
facility
to
see
performances
weight.
It's
we
really
have
these
challenges
and
need
the
help
of
the
council
to
give
direction
and
financial
support
to
repair
or
perhaps
look
at
other
options
for
the
Civic
Center
next
slide.
E
Significant
there
was,
there
was
a
significant
movement
on
a
with
a
final
plan
on
renovating
the
Thomas
wolf
Auditorium,
which
was
quite
extensive
because
of
all
the
problems
I
just
mentioned,
and
there
was
significant
movement
on
a
long-term
plan
for
maintenance
and
upgrades
to
the
HVAC.
You
know
the
thing
I
look
at
is
none
of
us
would
let
the
water
come
through
the
roofs
of
our
homes.
E
Recommendations
to
the
council,
inclusion
of
the
TWA,
Civic,
Center
and
other
facilities
in
a
future
Bond
referendum
I
mean
I.
Think
that's
nice
that
we're
recommending
that.
But
in
the
meantime,
what
are
you
going
to
do
request
a
more
direct
guidance
and
funding
towards
the
comprehensive
plan
for
the
renovation
of
Thomas
Wolfe?
E
It's
been
on
the
boards
for
as
many
years
as
I've
been
here,
which
is
nine
and
I
know
it's
been
on
the
board
prior
longer
than
that
funding
for
an
audit
of
the
hcca
venue
meeting
needs
deferred
maintenance,
risk
of
failure,
structural
analysis,
existing
infrastructure,
audio
visual
technology.
We
are
way
behind
on
any
other
facility,
increase,
Capital,
Improvements
and
allocations
for
the
Civic
Center,
and
revise
and
amend
the
Civic
Center's
commission
ordinance
to
include
advisory
oversight
of
all
facilities
within
the
department.
E
Right
now,
the
the
Civic
Center
commission
really
doesn't
have
anything
but
to
talk
to
each
other.
And
what
we're
asking
for
is
that
we
put
in
our
bylaws
that
we
have
oversight
so
that
we
can
make
recommendations
to
council
next
slide.
B
Me
Swift
representation
of
what
I'm
talking
about,
which
is.
We
have
to
do
something.
It
was
alarming
to
hear
we're
losing
more
events
there
because
of
the
air
conditioning-
and
you
know
just
all
this
good
for
only
specific
with
time.
I
know
when
we
reviewed
the
substation
ideas.
The
loading
dock
came
up
as
well,
and
I
couldn't
been
hearing
from
Chris
coral
for
years.
B
I'm
kind
of
curious
I'll
be
I.
Like
the
idea
of
hearing
more
from
this
commission
I
know
we
have
some
assets
nearby.
That
perhaps
could
play
a
role
in
this.
We
have
we're
looking
at
some
Bonds
in
2024
for
things
like
housing
that
I've
been
working
on.
So
it
sounds
like
that's
potential
here
as
well,
but
I
just
generally
want
to
say,
I,
appreciate,
hearing
this
information
and
the
commission
working
on
this,
because
I
think
it
needs
addressed
as
well.
A
A
Look
at
and
I
think
that,
in
line
of
some
of
the
issues
like
you
said
that
they
can't
be
addressed
because
other
issues
of
forbidding
Services
as
far
as
the
civilian
situation,
I,
would
also
like
to
just
ask
I
said
you'd
like
to
have
a
little
bit
more
okay,
the
the
the
the
the
need
of
these
issues
that
we
need
to
address
and
the
time
frame
to
move
together.
F
I
have
the
the
initial
memo
that
I
think
Deborah
forwarded
on
to
to
council
two
or
three
weeks
ago.
I
do
have
some
updates
to
that
which
I'm
working
on,
because
we've
had
some
additional
failures
in
the
system
since
then,
but
to
answer
your
question
vice
mayor
a
couple
of
the
easy
ones.
First,
the
storm
water
issues
that
we're
having
at
the
loading
dock.
That's
going
to
be
a
roughly
125
000
repair.
We
should
be
able
to
get
that
complete
in
the
next
three
to
four
months
and
we
have
funding
for
it.
F
It's
just.
We
have
to
pull
funding
from
the
dish
from
a
previously
planned
renovation
in
the
arena
to
fund
that
the
loading
dock
repairs.
We
were
going
to
include
in
that
that
renovation
I
just
mentioned
in
the
arena,
which
was
a
four
million
dollar,
upgrade
roughly-
that
we
have
two
million
dollars
from
the
Harris
Enterprise
account
that
we
were
taking
to
the
TDA
with
the
goal
of
getting
that
matched
to
turn
into
a
four
million
dollar
project
in
October,
and
at
that
point
we
would
repair
the
structural
issues
in
the
loading
dock.
F
Among
many
other
things.
But
in
order
to
fix
the
HVAC
issues
in
the
Thomas
wolf,
we
will
have
to
completely
eliminate
that
Arena
project
in
order
to
fund
the
wolf
project.
So
the
the
wolf
project,
as
I
mentioned
in
that
memo,
is
it's.
Looking
like
it's
going
to
cost
about
1.5
million
to
repair
the
HVAC
which,
at
this
point
none
of
the
heating
and
air
conditioning
in
inside
the
seating
chamber
works
at
all.
F
The
remaining
bits
that
we
did
have
working
as
of
three
weeks
ago
failed
at
the
concert
that
we
tried
to
host
on
July
3rd
it
it
got
up
to
88
degrees
in
the
room
79
humidity
during
that
show,
so
we're
we're
trending
towards
canceling
or
moving
all
of
our
shows.
Moving
this
fall
and
just
working
that
out
will
will
likely
be
announcing
in
the
very
near
future.
F
In
the
arena
it's
about
or
in
the
theater
excuse
me
it's
about
1.5
million
and
in
the
arena
for
the
loading
dock,
storm
water
issues,
it's
about
125
000,
but
it's
at
the
cost
of
not
doing
that
four
million
dollar
project
as
well.
So
it's
like
it's
it's
snowballs,
I
guess
you
could
say.
A
So
so
in
in
your
you,
I
mean
if
you
had
to
make
a
suggestion.
If
you
think
that
the
air
HVAC
system.
F
So
we've
run
a
lot
of
numbers
on
staff
side
at
this
point
and
that's
actually
how
we're
getting
to
this
extended
closure
of
the
wolf
decision
that
we
feel
like
we
have
a
better
chance
of
losing
less
money.
If
we
just
close
the
wolf
and
don't
put
programming
into
it,
so
that's
kind
of
the
direction
that
we're
going.
We
feel
like
we
can
stay
within
our
budgeted
subsidy.
F
If
we
stay
in
the
arena
or
Banquet
Hall
in
the
exhibit
hall
only
and
don't
attempt
to
put
programming
in
the
wolf
it,
it
cost
us
a
good
deal
of
money
to
make.
The
show
happen
that
we
made
happen
last
week
that
we
couldn't
build
back
to
the
band
because
they
were
like
faults
of
the
venue
if
you
will
and
if
we
continue
to
do
that
in
order
to
continue
hosting
shows,
our
subsidy
is
going
to
go
up
pretty
quickly.
F
E
F
The
revenue
loss
is
about.
1.9
million
is
what
we're
expecting
the
losses
to
be
to
be
a
HCA
hcca
budget.
That's
compared
to
last
year,
so
I
took
all
of
last
year's
events
in
the
revenues
reach
and
then
just
took
out
all
the
ones
that
we
wouldn't
post.
If
they
happened
again
this
year
and
the
total
attendance.
What
would
be
affected
is
about
87
000
patrons
that
wouldn't
come.
It's
a
107,
total
usage
dates
of
the
venue
that
would
be
canceled
or
postponed.
F
E
So
it's
1.6
million
cost
and
another
1.9
million
in
Lost
Revenue,
so
we're
up
to
3.5
million
I
mean
when
you
look
at
it.
Just
a
hit.
D
A
E
Have
lost
her
so
I
think
this
is,
you
know,
we're
I
think
we're
in
an
emergency
situation.
This
is
getting
worse.
It's
it's
snowballing,
The,
Snowball,
Effect,
on
our
on
the
building
on
the
facilities
on
our
community
and
there's
nothing.
You
can
fix
quickly.
This
isn't
like
okay,
you
know
but
put
a
bunch
of
contractors
in
there
and
we're
good
after
a
week.
This
is
months
of
repair
work
that
has
basically
been
ignored
for
months,
if
not
years.
That
needs
to
be
addressed.
B
Hey
y'all,
this
is
saying
sorry:
I
had
to
reconnect
I,
guess
I'm,
just
having
technical
problems.
Can
you
hear
me?
Okay,
now
yeah,
okay,
so
I
just
want
to
follow
up
on
some
of
those
questions
because
you
were
starting
to
get
at
what
I
was
wondering.
It
sounds
like
Chris.
You've
done
some
financial
analysis.
Have
you
done
any
kind
of
cash
flow
forecasting?
If
we
work
is
fixed
it
like
do
you
have
what
you
need
to
come
to
council
with
the
broader
picture?
B
B
And
then,
lastly,
my
question
just
to
get
them
all
out,
is
you
know
what
do
we
need?
What
do
you
all
need
from
us?
Obviously
Maggie
isn't
here
today
we
have
a
policy
and
client
committee
I,
guess
that
would
want
to
could
be
another
body
to
go
to,
but
what's
the,
how
can
we
help
you
get
this
done
and
expedite
it
sounds
like
I
mean
no
matter
how
we
look
at
it.
It's
going
to
be
a
period
of
time,
but
I'd
like
to
hear
from
y'all
what
we
can
do
to
help.
F
Yeah,
so
I
did
skip
the
timeline
accidentally
on
that
earlier
question,
so
our
timeline's,
looking
like
six
to
nine
months
for
repair
for
the
Thomas
Wolfe,
mostly
because
we're
running
into
Parts
issues,
our
timeline
just
to
get
the
materials
is
six
months
and
Donna
spoke
to
it
briefly
that
we,
we
can't
get
contractors
up
in
the
attic,
even
if
we
had
Parts
tomorrow,
because
none
of
the
regional
vendors
that
can
work
on
this
are
willing
to
work
in
the
Attic
until
we
get
the
attic
up
to
OSHA
standards.
F
But
it's
it's
not
because
it
is
so
old.
It's
been
grandfathered
in.
So
it's
not
like
we're
like
being
negligent
in
the
standards
of
the
attic.
It's
just
that
no.
F
Done
there
since
the
70s,
so
it's
that
70s
standards
and
they
they
need
us
to
upgrade
that
first,
the
fund
balance
question.
We
have
about
2.5
million
in
our
fund
balance
our
requirement
because
we're
Enterprise
is
16,
so
that's
be
available
over
16
to
my
understanding,
but
that
was
not
our
two
million
dollar
match
from
the
other
project.
F
That
was
just
our
general
Capital
budget
allocations
from
the
Harris
naming
rights,
money
and
savings
that
we've
had
over
the
last
few
years
as
far
as
how
council
could
help,
but
I
think
really
it's
the
the
first
question
is:
are
we
in
repair
and
get
reopen
mode,
or
is
this
a
catalyst
to
move
to
the
the
bigger
renovation
that's
been
talked
about
off
and
on
for
decades,
and
if
it's
repair
and
move
on
we'll
we'll
eventually
need
to
go
to
council
to
request
approval,
to
use
some
of
that
fund
balance
money
to
make
the
repairs
if
it's
moved
to
a
bigger
renovation
and
like
do
the
project
that's
been
talked
about,
then
I
think
it's
some
direction
from
Council
and
some
willingness
publicly
to
State
like
yeah.
F
This
is
a
direction
we
want
to
go
in,
so
that
we,
as
staff,
can
go
out
to
other
entities
and
have
the
conversations
on
fundraising
and
see
how
a
financial
model
could
work
somewhat
like
we
did
with
the
baseball
stadium,
so
I
think
it's
a
little
bit
of
like
what
do
we
want
and
then
financial
analysis
yeah.
We
we've
run
a
bunch
of
different
numbers.
F
It
feels
like
we
need
to
repair
as
soon
as
we
can
to
get
back
open,
even
if
we
do
the
renovation
just
because
if
we
decided
today
to
do
a
big
renovation,
it's
four
years
before
that
renovation
is
going
to
happen
right.
So
we'd
still
want
to
get
reopen
and
have
business
happening
until
that
renovation
happen,
so
I
think
regardless.
F
We
want
to
and
need
to
move
forward
with
a
repair,
but
there's
going
to
be
a
bigger
long-term
economic
impact
with
a
renovative
facility
that
can
do
more
things,
but
is
that
a
priority
for
the
city
right
now
that
I
don't
know
so
there's
and
we
could
run
various
numbers
and
bring
various
scenarios
for
sure
Ben.
Sorry
that.
C
Was
good
Chris?
Thank
you
for
that
overview
and
I
just
real
quickly.
Don
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
presentation
today
and
ensuring
that
information
from
the
Civic
Center
commission
I,
would
suggest
chairman
Kilgore
that
we
give
staff
some
time
to
do
some
of
the
analysis
that
you've
heard
from
Chris
he's
already
started
and
underway.
C
A
C
F
It
would
be
smart
to
invite
Daniel
with
the
symphony
he's
on
the
call
today,
I
had
him
joined
just
in
case
there
were
questions
specifically
related
to
the
symphony,
but
they're
they're
our
most
effective
tenant
in
this,
and
if
we
come
back
in,
say
August
or
September,
whatever
the
next
meeting
is
hearing
from
him
would
probably
be
a
really
important
thing.
G
You
are
you
on:
I
am
hi
everyone,
I'm
Daniel,
crabby
I'm,
the
executive
director
of
Asheville
Symphony,
chairman
okay,
if
I
make
a
couple
comments,
sure.
G
Wonderful,
so
thank
you
Donna
for
the
question
and
I
the
the
basic
issue
for
the
symphony
is
that
we
can't
it
when
the
temperature
is
not
regulated
and
Thomas.
Will
we
really
can't
facilitate
performance
because
our
instruments
are
acoustic,
so
they
rely
they're
very
sensitive
to
temperature
fluctuation,
so
performing
in
an
87
degree.
G
Hall
would
not
the
instruments
would
not
function,
the
way
that
they
need
to
and
the
artistic
quality
would
be
poor,
not
to
mention
what
the
patrons
would
be
experiencing
out
in
the
hall
with
temperature
fluctuations
either
really
high
or
really
low.
G
So
repairing
the
HVAC
is,
of
course,
like
a
minimum
requirement
for
moving
back
into
Thomas
Wolfe,
but
the
facility
is
in
such
a
dire
need
of
reinvestments
I
mean
you
can
see
it
when
you're
in
the
space
just
physically
looking
at
the
ceiling
or
the
walls,
the
backstage
area
is
in
dire
need
of
reinvestment
as
well
with
the
transition
hopeful
of
the
substation.
What's
a
plan
for
that
is
worked
out,
I
think
it
opens
up
the
possibilities
for
renovation
of
that
backstage
space.
G
I
think
the
my
biggest
concern
in
thinking
about
a
transition
back
into
Thomas
Wolfe
is
this
is
kind
of
like
a
car
with
400
000
miles
on
it
and
right
now
it
was
the
HVAC
that
broke,
but
next
is
going
to
be
something
completely
different
and
I.
Don't
think
any
of
us
want
to
be
in
this
position
where
we're
constantly
having
to
realign
our.
G
Or
Chris
having
to
reposition
all
of
these
acts
over
to
the
arena
or
cancel
ax
outright
is
a
huge
problem
for
us,
but
the
symphony
it's
an
even
worse
problem
for
the
Civic
Center
but,
most
importantly,
it's
a
huge
impact
on
our
entire
Community
I
mean
our
whole
small
business
community
and
the
restaurant
community
and
the
hotel
community
and
small
shops
downtown
rely
on
events
like
the
symphony
or
like
what
what
Harris
Cherokee
Center
puts
out
at
Thomas
wolf
with
its
presenting
series
for
Revenue
I,
know
from
talking
to
general
managers
and
servers.
G
They
rely
on
Symphony
performance
nights
downtown
so
that
they
can
get
people
in
and
out
of
their
establishment
in
a
timely
fashion.
They
count
on
that
revenue,
and
so
without
us
we're
taking.
You
know
more
almost
a
dozen
shows
out
of
Thomas
wolf
and
putting
them
in
various
locations
around
the
community.
That
is
money
that
we're
taking
out
of
the
pockets
of
those
folks
that
really
count
on
it.
G
For
those
of
you
that
don't
know
the
symphony
is,
our
Asheville
is
one
of
our
largest
Performing
Arts
institutions,
both
in
terms
of
our
budget
and
our
employees,
and
our
annual
impact
we
reach
about
50
000
people
every
year
and
we're
producing
events
all
across
Asheville
and
while
we've
been
able
to
successfully
move
everything
in
a
very
short
period
of
time
to
Alternative
locations
all
across
town
from
the
arena
to
the
Wortham
Center
to
Brevard
to
salvage
station.
G
This
is
increasing
our
artistic
cost
by
about
20
and
we're
reducing
our
Revenue
potential
ticket
sales
potential,
also
by
about
22
percent,
because
even
with
double
performances
that
we
have
to
facilitate
now,
we
can't
serve
the
same
number
of
people
in
all
these
hodgepodge
venues
that
we
can
at
Thomas
wolf.
So
for
the
symphony.
G
It's
a
pretty
catastrophic
issue
this
year,
we're
going
to
be
able
to
absorb
it
by
eating
through
about
a
third
of
our
cash
reserves
in
one
year,
so
that
we
don't
have
to
terminate
any
musician
contracts
or
terminate
any
staff,
and
we
can
continue
producing
all
the
same
performances.
But
we
cannot
continue
to
absorb
that
year
over
year.
So
if
we're
not
able
to
get
this
figured
out,
then
that
threatens
our
ability
to
produce
concerts
at
the
same
level
and
so
we're
impacting
fewer
people
we're
hiring
fewer
musicians.
G
It
puts
the
financial
help
of
our
one
of
the
largest
Performing
Arts
centers
in
Jeopardy,
or,
excuse
me
one
of
the
largest
Performing
Arts
organizations
in
Asheville
and
Jeopardy
and,
like
I,
said
before,
I
mean
the
biggest
thing.
Maybe
is
the
impact
to
the
whole
Community,
our
restaurants,
hotels,
small
business
Etc,
so
the
symphony
really
wants
to
to
help
come
to
some
sort
of
solution.
G
We
don't
want
to
be
part
of
the
problem,
so
you
know
we're
willing
and
interested
in
helping
mobilize
a
base
of
people
to
help
rally
to
the
cause
of
of
hopefully,
a
renovation
and
we're
also
willing
to
help
fundraise
on
behalf
of
that
project,
to
get
it
across
the
finish
line.
So
we
want
to
be
your
partners
in
helping
fix
the
problem.
E
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
Daniel
met-
you
know
mentioned,
which
is
very
important,
is
the
impact
on
our
businesses
in
the
downtown
area
and
I.
Think
the
estimate
is
20
million
on
the
hotels,
food
beverage
Etc
and
that
isn't
that's
a
significant
amount
to
our
partners.
Downtown.
B
I
appreciate
all
this
information
I
I'm
curious.
If
you're
going
to
come
back
to
ped
and
from
there
maybe
go
to
another
committee
and
then
on
the
council,
I
guess
some
of
the
information
I'd
like
to
see
beyond
just
operational
losses.
B
Maybe
some
history
I
know
we
used
to
maybe
have
a
200
000
a
year
deficit
in
this
Enterprise
fund
and
it's
changed
since
the
Harris
contract
and
stuff,
so
maybe
a
little
history.
A
current
operating
loss
hope
outcome.
If
we
were
to
invest
all
the
money,
but
also
you
know,
strategies
for
partnership
or
creating
funds
grants
Partnerships
whatever
it
is,
with
a
county
or
Symphony
et
cetera,
something
other
than
you
know.
B
G
Now
we're
we're
excited
to
go
to
Brevard
that'll,
be
that'll,
be
a
fun
New
Market
opportunity
for
us,
but
we
would
much
prefer
to
be
in
downtown
Asheville
yeah.
B
B
Hey
one
last
thing
for
Ben
and
staff:
I
guess
you
know
covid
seems
exponentially
I,
don't
know
how
many
years
it
has
been
since
we've
taken
on
the
Harris
contract,
it
might
be
three
or
four
now
and
I
think
it
was
a
seven
year
thing.
So,
if
you
could,
you
know
detail
that
in
your
research
that
would
be
helpful.
A
And
now
we'll
move
on
to
the
number
three
item
on
the
agenda.
But
you
see
2024
special
events
program
that
would
be
presented
by
John
Feldman
from
community
events,
manager
and
he'll.
A
D
Hi
good
afternoon,
thank
you:
I'm
John,
philmon,
Community
event
manager
with
the
Department
of
community
and
Regional
Entertainment
facilities.
Okay,
if
you
could
Advance
please
the
items
for
consideration
today
have
been
long
overdue.
In
fact,
our
key
takeaways
are
the
result
of
almost
five
years
of
considering
the
right
solution
for
city
council
and
for
our
community.
D
North
Carolina
General
statutes
allowed
cities
to
utilize
public
resources
to
support
their
own
events,
so
in
Asheville,
we've
defined
our
events
as
federal
holiday
commemorations
and
we've
established
contracts
with
local
non-profit
organizations
to
assist
with
production.
The
total
cash
budgeted
for
that
is
61
500
and
it's
in
our
existing
budget
number
three
North
Carolina
General
statutes
also
allowed
cities
to
assist
in
agricultural
development.
D
So
we
recommend
continuing
support
at
the
Asheville
City
Market
on
Market
Street
through
an
agricultural
development
agreement,
and
that
would
be
the
city's
first
Agricultural
Development
agreement
and
last,
but
most
significant
North
Carolina
General
statutes
allowed
cities
to
spend
on
arts-based
programming.
So
for
that,
we're
recommending
a
partnership
with
the
experts
at
the
Asheville
area,
Arts
Council,
who
will
plan
to
administer
a
city-funded
grant
program
to
support
events
like
shindigan,
the
green
bouncing
after
five,
the
jump
Circle
and
others,
and
the
total
budgeted
value
is
76,
100
or
14
per
year.
D
Katie.
Could
you
advance
please.
D
So
this
slide
kind
of
categorizes
how
we
have
divided
all
of
the
events
and
the
colors
represent
the
lift
that
it
requires
for
City
staff
and
so
number
one,
our
City
events,
that's
the
happiest
list,
those
are
produced
by
contractors.
These
are
our
federal
holiday
events.
We
spend
61
500
on
them
and
we
provide
all
of
the
in-kind
support
we
can
to
support
them
because
there
are.
They
are
our
events,
number
two
City
events
produced
by
staff.
D
These
are
events
like
movies
in
the
park
and
the
special
neighborhoods
that
Communications
and
public
engagement
produces.
They
also.
We
also
have
the
911
run
that
the
fire
department
produces,
and
so
these
are
events
that
we
do
internally
at
the
city
within
our
own,
existing
budgets
produced
by
staff.
So
those
were
always
that
way,
but
for
the
purpose
of
the
presentation,
just
to
put
them
all
together,
they're
here,
as
the
number
two
lift
number
three
City
assisted
events,
and
so
these
would
be
really
limited.
D
This
is
the
Agricultural
Development
agreement
that
we're
recommending
for
the
City
Market.
It
would
also
be
festival
and
gospel
in
the
park
that
the
Parks
and
Recreation
Department
has
an
agreement
with
just
folks
to
produce,
and
so
those
are
city-assisted
events
and
number
four
would
be
the
community
event
Grant,
and
so
this
would
be
available
to
non-profit
organizations.
Performing
Arts
based
programming.
They
would
be
able
to
apply
with
the
Arts
Council
to
get
a
reimbursement
of
all
the
speeds
and
charges
that
we
have
in
our
fees
and
charges
manual.
D
So
our
recommendations
is
requesting
that
you
make
a
motion
to
recommend
that
city
council
phase
out
the
Strategic
event
partnership
program
because
we're
we're
trying
to
close
one
program
before
we.
We
start
the
new
one,
eliminating
in-kind,
support
and
fee
waivers
beyond
the
75
discount,
that's
already
in
fees
and
charges.
D
Thank
you,
and
so
this
is
our
second
time
back
to
the
planning
and
economic
development
committee.
But
we
realize
that
not
everyone
was
here
the
first
time
we've
also
been
to
the
policy
financing
Human
Resources
committee,
and
they
have
made
a
motion
I
believe
unanimously
to
move
this
forward
to
city
council.
So
our
our
hope
is
that
this
body
will
also
make
a
motion
to
move
these
items
forward.
B
Really,
for
me,
I
was
the
one
that
missed
the
PED
last
month,
so
Ben
was
kind
enough
to
give
me
a
heads
up.
This
was
on
there
to
do
some
review
and
it
sounds
I
mean
it
sounds
like
the
right
next
steps.
I
know:
John
you've
been
working
on
this
for
a
long
time
and
it's
yeah
I'm
fine
with
it
I.
If
you
could
go
back
to
the
three
motions
page
real
quick,
let
me
see
so
Sage.
B
A
B
A
And
at
this
time
we
do,
we
have
any
callers
in
the
queue.
Okay.
B
No,
but
as
we
start
to
think
about
this
area
of
town
and
economic
development,
can
somebody
kind
of
rally
a
little
information
around
the
Haywood
page
project
that
was
put
forth
a
timeline
I'm
getting
a
little
worried
just
in
general
like
it
just
as
an
aside
comment,
we're
having
a
hard
time
even
managing
downtown
in
our
Parks
right
now
and
I'm
wondering
if
that
could
play
into
the
Island.
So
if
we
could
not
have
that
information
available,
that
would
be
helpful.
C
B
D
If
I
could
it
is
still
available
to
reserve
for
anyone
watching
this
this
meeting
so
we're
happy
to
take
reservations
for
this
space?
If
anyone
is
interested,
sorry.
