The this is the request for the Austin artworks festival and then their alley party, the police, chief and the city engineer- have reviewed this and signed off on it for the artworks festival, they've set the condition for the use of the special cups for the alcohol zone, participants wearing wristbands and then everyone being ID'd. We also have a condition on this that any participating bars would provide their liability insurance to us.

C

Resolution approving deed restrictions on permanent easements as part of the Turtle Creek flood control project. Mr. Lang yeah.

G

The work that we're starting right now, along Turtle Creek for our flood control project. We were able to secure 15 easements from private property owners. We also got probably another temporary easements from many of those same property owners and others. But now, in order to meet DNR requirements, we need to set deed restrictions along with those easements that we got indicating that we will not sell the easements.

G

We won't use them for anything other than this intended use of flood control, and this is what the state requires in order to secure their investment that they're putting forward to this project, so we'd recommend approving Council.

C

This would be for the Eagles to expand some of their alcohol zone into the parking lot. It's my understanding that they want to be able to have some additional parties out there, so they would have to expand their liquor license this.
