F
I
E
J
B
I
During
October
15th
2019
meeting
of
the
Austin
Planning
Commission,
the
Commission
reviewed
a
request
from
Curtis
Sorensen
regarding
a
property
located
at
1500,
7th
Avenue
Northwest,
to
amend
the
future
land-use.
As
noted
and
a
rezone,
the
property
from
multifamily
to
commercial.
The
action
was
requested
to
accommodate
a
car
sales
business.
I
The
property
has
existed
as
a
car
sales
business
from
about
1989
when
in
a
change
of
non-conforming
use,
was
granted
from
a
plumbing
business
to
car
sales
to
about
2017
when
the
car
sales
used
terminated
due
to
inactivity
for
more
than
a
year,
and
that
is
by
ordinance
and
state
statute.
The
under
change
of
non-conforming
use.
The
car
sales
could
not
be
expanded.
Therefore,
the
owner
at
the
time
bob
helmers
petitioned
the
city
to
rezone
the
subject
property
and
an
adjacent
lot
to
commercial
helmers
petitioned.
I
had
records
of
two
petitions
for
rezone.
I
He
says
that
he
had
resumed
three
times
or
requested
three
reasons,
but
in
any
event,
the
reasonings
were
denied.
At
the
time,
Sorensen
recently
made
an
agreement
to
purchase
the
property
as
a
car
sales
lot.
He
was
unaware
that
it
was
not
properly
zoned
for
that
business
and
that
the
non-conforming
use
for
car
sales
had
terminated
due
to
the
location
size
of
the
parcel.
I
The
only
option
for
the
petitioner
was
to
try
to
amend
our
future
land-use
map
in
our
comprehensive
plan
and
rezone
the
property
to
be
too
commercial,
apply
for
a
variance
for
setback
from
the
residential
zone,
because
a
lot
is
less
than
50
feet
from
residential
district
and
then
obtain
a
conditional
use
permit.
So
this
is
the
first
step
by
amending
the
future
land-use
plan
and
rezoning
to
allow
him
to
continue
with
the
other
steps
that
would
be
necessary
in
order
to
have
a
legal
use.
A
permitted
use
on
that
lab
as
a
car
sales
business.
I
The
proposed
location
has
remained
mostly
unchanged
over
the
past
decades.
The
houses
still
remain
in
the
former
car
lot
is
the
only
a
visible
business
in
that
area.
The
two
adjacent
property
owners
appeared
at
the
meeting
to
the
the
property
owners
to
the
west
of
the
lot
on.
The
northwest
side
is
mr.
helmers
and
on
the
southwest
is
the--some.
I
Decent
objected
to
the
proposed
rezoning
area
due
to
nuisance
issues
and
helmers,
wanted
his
property
also
rezone.
So
if
this
rezoning
is
successful,
he
would
ask
for
the
same
for
his
property
and
in
the
event
that
his
rezone
failed.
He
wanted.
He
wished
to
object
to
the
petitioners
rezoning
request.
Mr.
helmers
had
included
a
letter
from
his
attorney,
which
is
included
in
the
materials
the
current
owner.
Mr.
med
Garden
spoke
in
support
of
the
petitioner
and
the
petitioner
provided
a
list
of
neighbors
who
he
indicated
did
not
object
when
he
approached
them
about
the
request.
I
He
did
indicate
that
it
would
be
car
sales
versus
other
commercially
allowed
uses.
The
Planning
Commission
after
hearing
from
all
parties
and
staff,
and
after
thorough
consideration
made
the
following
recommendation
with
six
members
president.
They
recommended
to
deny
the
amendment
to
the
future
Land
Use
Plan
and
the
rezoning
request
six
to
zero.
I
They
primarily
were
concerned
about
the
broad
uses
in
the
b-two
district
and
there's
really
no
way
to
narrow
those
uses
to
just
a
car
sales
lot
which
previously
existed.
So
they
found
that
the
proposed
land
use
change
was
not
consistent
with
the
comprehensive
plan
future
land-use
plan
as
a
mixed-use
in
our
commercial
retail
district,
and
that
the
b2
commercial
district
was
not
compatible
with
the
surrounding
uses
and
awning
and
then
I
included
considerations
for
you
to
review
it,
as
well
as
the
considerations
that
the
Planning
Commission.
B
K
Yeah
so
when,
when
a
city
passes
its
first
zoning
ordinance,
which
occurred
in
Austin
and
the
70s
existing
land
uses
that
are
not
in
compliance
with,
that
ordinance
are
called
non-conforming
uses,
and
the
purpose
and
point
of
that
is
that
if
you
force
existing
uses
to
comply
with
a
new
zoning
ordinance,
you
may
be
subject
to
takings
claims,
meaning
you've
taken
property
rights
away
from
those
owners
by
stopping
them
from
using
their
property.
The
way
they
had
historically
used
it.
So
a
non-conforming
uses
a
technical
term
for
a
use
that
existed
at
the
time.
K
We
passed
a
zoning
ordinance
that
didn't
comply
with
what
we
would
like
to
see
in
that
area.
What
the
long
term,
public
policy
and
planning
preferences
are
for
that
property
and
non-conforming
uses
the
the
intent
of
them
is
to
over
time,
discourage
or
reduce
the
amount
of
nonconformity
to
eventually
achieve
conformity
with
your
zoning
ordinance.
K
Business
of
some
sort,
you
can
apply
for
a
change
in
non-conforming
use,
which
is
to
come
before
the
Planning,
Commission
or
the
council
and
say
I.
Have
this
plumbing
business
non-conforming
use
but
I'd
like
to
change
that
to
a
car
dealership
and
the
purpose
and
point
of
that
is
or
the
way
that
the
decision
makers
supposed
to
approach
that
is.
K
Is
the
new
non-conforming
use
less
outside
of
our
normal
rules
or
more
outside
of
our
normal
rules,
if
less
than
we
should
encourage
that,
because
we're
moving
towards
conformity
when
a
non-conforming
use
is
abandoned
for
a
period
of
12
months.
The
law
says
now
that
owner
has
voluntarily
given
up
that
use,
it's
no
longer
the
current
use,
so
they
wouldn't
have
a
takings
claim
that
you're
taking
something
away.
So
after
12
months
it
just
becomes
a
situation
where
that
property
should
comply
with
the
zoning
code.
K
And
so
what
you
need
to
think
about
there
is
that,
once
you
change
from
an
r2
designation
to
a
b2
designation,
you're,
not
limited
to
just
car
dealerships,
you
now
are
open
to
every
other
business
use.
That's
listed
in
the
b2
zoning
classification,
which
includes
a
variety
of
different
business,
uses
their
stores
and
restaurants
and
other
types
of
businesses
that
have
impacts
that
are
different
than
car
dealerships
and
I.
Think
that's
what
concerned
the
Planning
Commission
when
they
thought
about
it
is.
K
If
you
watch
the
tape,
I
think
there
were
multiple
comments
that
maybe
a
car
dealership
wasn't
something
they
were
all
that
concerned
about.
But
if
you
rezone
it
it's
now
open
to
anything.
So
if
the
car
dealership
doesn't
work
out
in
a
couple
years,
someone
else
could
decide
to
redevelop
it
in
some
other
business
use
and
that
would
be
completely
allowed.
K
L
I
just
have
a
clarifying
question
for
Craig
the
way
I'm
understanding.
This
is
it's
an
example
of
our
zoning
laws
working
exactly
the
way
we
wrote
them
to,
so
that
those
who
were
there
and
I'm
continuously
operating
were
grandfathered
in,
but
once
that
stopped
happening
we
said
now
you
have
to
come
back
into
the
fold
and
follow
our
comprehensive
plan.
Now
reasonable
people
can
disagree
if
12
months
is
the
right
amount
of
time
and
average
people
have
no
idea
of
all
of
these
zoning
regulations
that
we
use
as
a
sadita
to
operate.
L
But
this
is
a
fairly
unique
set
of
circumstances.
Is
that
fair
to
say
where,
in
my
experience
on
the
Planning
and
Zoning
Commission,
there
was
usually
a
middle
road
where
we
could
compromise
and
give
everybody
a
little
bit
of
what
they
wanted,
but
these
this
set
of
circumstances
leaves
us
with
only
rezoning,
which
is
a
now
and
forever
it's
rezone
and
we
don't
get
another
chance
to
put
conditions
or
parameters
on
it
if
the
property
sold.
Is
that
correct?
Yes,.
K
That's
that's
generally
correct
is,
is
that
right
now
the
alternative
to
a
car
dealership
would
be
redeveloping
the
property
in
some
way,
consistent
with
an
art
to
designation,
which,
admittedly
may
be
difficult
because
of
the
size
and
shape
of
the
lot,
and
the
fact
that
it
is
on
a
busy
street
and
I
would
think
that
it's
not
very
attractive
for
new
single-family
development
and
maybe
too
small
for
multifamily
development.
But
though
those
are
practical
concerns
not
really
legal
concerns
with
a
car
dealership.
So
you
have
not
only
that
doesn't
fit
the
zoning
classification.
K
So
you
need
to
change
that,
but
even
when
you
put
a
car
dealership
into
a
b2
they're
supposed
to
be
setbacks
from
residential
properties
that
this
property
is
too
small
to
meet,
so
you'll
need
variances
to
be
granted
and
other
concessions
essentially
to
make
it
fit.
But
yes,
you're
in
a
it's
a
fairly
unique
situation
where
there
doesn't
appear
to
be
a
great
option
and
the
question
ultimately
is
as
the
public
at
large
the
neighborhood
all
the
other
people
with
their
property
interests
need
to
bend
because
there's
a
piece
of
property.
K
I
L
I
So
between
the
r2
zone,
the
multi-family
residential
and
the
b2
commercial
there's
our
ol,
which
is
residential
office
and
that's
the
zoning
that
the
University
is
located
or
exists
under
and
that
allows
different
kinds
of
office
uses
and
various
less
commercial
activities.
And
the
b1
is
pretty
narrow.
That
might
not
work
as
well.
But
who's.
M
K
B
N
Sounds
great,
thank
you
good
evening.
Everybody,
you
guys
did
very
well
Holly
Craig,
explaining
everything,
Curtis
Sorenson,
303,
27th,
Drive
Northwest.
You
both
did
very
well
explaining
everything.
I'll
be
very
brief.
Those
are
pretty
much
all
my
points.
I,
don't
even
need
my
notes.
So
really
all
I
have
to
tell
you
is
in
the
whole
neighborhood
there
was
one
that
was
against
it.
Mr.
Theisen,
you
will
hear
from
him
I'm
more
than
happy
to
work
with
him
on
the
problems
that
he
had
with
the
old
tenants
and
improved.
N
The
relationship
between
us
put
a
sign
on
the
boulevard,
smaller
vehicles,
keeping
the
side
off
vehicles
off
the
sidewalk,
the
snow
and
different
things.
He
has
legitimate
concerns
and
I'm
more
than
happy
to
address
them.
It
is
a
very
unique
property
with
the
Planning
and
Zoning
everyone
said
exactly
what
was
stated.
They
were
okay
with
the
car
lot,
but
what
could
it
be
after
being
a
car
lot?
And
my
response
to
that
is,
we
all
know
the
property
we
all
drive
by
it.
It's
extremely
busy
I
can't
be
in
there
for
five
minutes.
N
Without
somebody
texting
me
and
calling
me
hey,
what
are
you
doing
there?
Did
you
buy
that
I
heard
rumors
so,
given
the
unique
size,
skinny
long
curb
to
curb
I,
don't
see
many
other
businesses
working
there
and
as
far
as
redeveloping
and
I
own
21
properties
in
Austin,
as
well
for
rental
properties
as
far
as
redeveloping
it,
like
Kraig
stated
the
money
I
mean
you
don't
have
to
go
three
or
four
stories
high
and
then
you're
gonna
be
struggling
with
parking.
That's
probably
not
going
to
be
a
good
neighbor
for
mr.
N
N
D
You
know
what
it
cost
me
Tom.
He
wouldn't
say
that
probably
job
hooking
up
plus
the
cost
of
looking
up
I,
originally
bought
this
property
from
the
plea
Hall
family
I
was
approached
to
him
and
I
did
have
another
use
for
Verizon
Wireless
had
expressed
it
and
it
desired.
For
me
to
buy
it,
they
were
gonna
move
in
there
horizon
Wireless.
D
F
B
D
Up
to
the
council,
I
mean
you
know,
you
deny
it,
then
we're
gonna
have
another
empty
building
and
right
now
you
just
acquired
three
worn-out
make
we
were
last
week
when
double
K
clothes
you
got
seen
with
this
closed.
We
have
enough
empty
buildings
around
town
right
now,
without
adding
more
and
I.
Don't
think
it's
the
council's
intent
and
purpose
to
have
empty
buildings
around
town.
That's
why
I
think
it
should
be
resold
for
a
car
lot.
I
think
Kirk
would
take
a
good
good
care.
D
D
B
D
D
J
I'm
Robert
Hill
mr.
fan,
I
live
at
10,
11
Oakland
place
southeast
and
I
have
no
problem
with
mr.
Sorenson
wanting
to
rezone
the
property
there,
but
I
also
own
the
adjacent
properties
on
the
northwest
end
of
that
property.
So
I
also
have
lots
that
are
150
by
45
and
all
I.
Ask
and
all
fairness.
I
had
been
in
front
of
the
console
and
rejected
on
rezoning
for
commercial
three
times
and
all
I
ask
for
is
fairness
and
I
have
a
bear
lot.
There.
J
That's
just
bear
which
is
150
by
45
I'd
like
to
have
that
zone
the
same
as
whatever
he
gets,
whether
it's
our
two
conditional
again
or
whether
it's
commercial
I
just
want
the
same.
The
only
thing
I
would
ask
that
I
can
have
skaars.
Only
mr.
Sorenson
says
he'd
like
to
have
15
cars
at
the
other
lot
there
all
I
ask
is
I'd,
have
six
cars
they're
only
on
display
up
in
the
front,
North
North
corner,
and
that
would
be
it
and
that's
all
I
asked
for
just
Ferris
thank.
B
F
1050,
no
to
seventh
Avenue
Northwest,
my
property
abuts.
The
lot
in
question
and
I
am
to
the
directly
to
the
south
that
mr.
homers
lot.
So
if
he
gets
resumed,
I'm
gonna
be
50%,
surrounded
by
rezone
property
or
different
non-conforming
use
property,
and
my
only
request
right
now
is
that
you
just
affirm
the
Planning
Commission's.
F
F
B
H
H
What's
we've
already
mapped
out
as
industrial
and
makes
good
sense
to
be
that
they
would
certainly
have
a
few
more
legs
to
stand
on
to
come
and
do
before
us
and
say
well
now,
you've
done
this
you've
changed
your
map
are
very
thoughtful
map
or
very
thoughtful
planning
process
for
future
land-use
and
I
I
go
back
to
certainly
you
know
it.
Certainly
we're
not
guaranteed
of
being
a
car
lot.
As
it's
been
I
get
mr.
Sorenson
legitimate
I
know
blend
great
people.
I
was
Bob,
Elmer's,
I've
known
you.
H
B
L
Have
to
say,
I,
agree:
I,
wish
that
our
decisions
as
a
council
were
as
easy
as
do
you
want
an
empty
business
or
not,
but
they're.
Never
that
easy
and
clear-cut.
We
have
to
take
into
consideration
that
long
term
comprehensive
plan,
which
is
council,
person
and
King
said,
had
a
lot
of
thought
and
and
intention
put
into
it,
and
it's
established
to
help
us
in
situations
like
this,
when
we
need
to
think
very
much
more
long
term,
so
I
would
go
ahead
and
make
a
motion
to
deny
the
zoning
request.
L
I
want
to
say
that
I
am
grateful
to
mr.
Sorenson
and
mr.
Medin
garden
and
many
others
in
Austin,
who
are
our
local
developers
really
who
are
buying
property
and
running
businesses
and
being
landlords
you're
the
backbone
of
our
economy.
This
is
not
a
slight
against
you
at
all.
It's
it's
just
trying
to
honor
the
work
of
the
Planning
and
Zoning
Commission
and
our
comprehensive
plan
so.
P
K
Became
kind
of
a
legal
thing
that
was
developing
in
the
70s
in
Austin
and
followed
most
municipalities
in
passing
a
zoning
ordinance
at
that
time.
It
goes
through
reviews
and
revisions
of
about
every
ten
years
or
so
comprehensive
map
gets
redone
every
so
often
as
well,
and
that
is
not
all
that
old
in
Austin.
We
did
that
just
a
couple
years
ago,
but
but
yes,
zoning
has
been
an
issue
in
Austin
for
since
the
seventies,
okay,.
P
Well,
in
1970,
I
was
nine
years
old,
so
I
didn't
pay
much
attention
to
to
that
stuff
at
that
time,
and
so
I'm
not
sure
what
the
council
had
in
mind
or
the
Planning
Commission
had
in
mind
with
this
property
that
they
thought
it
would
be
residential
since
it's
been
a
business
as
far
as
we've
heard
tonight
forever
and
I
don't
see
that
it
would
ever
conform
to
residential.
This
is
property
for
several
reasons
that
we've
talked
about
tonight
and
I
understand.
P
You
know
people
are
afraid
of
what
might
happen
if
it's
not
a
car
lot,
but
I
think
we've
discussed
that
too
of
it
I,
don't
think,
there's
a
whole
lot
of
other
businesses
that
would
probably
fit
on
this
property
and
if
it
isn't
reasoned
I'm
wondering
if
the
neighbors
would
rather
have
an
empty,
dilapidated
building,
because
it
sounds
like
mr.
Med
garden
has
no
other
options
at
this
time
or
in
the
foreseeable
future,
and
so
you're
going
to
have
an
empty
building
sitting
there
for
ever
or
for
a
long
time
until
something
comes
along.
B
M
Know
this
is
definitely
you
know
it's
not
an
easy
cut
and
dry
case,
because
I
believe
in
a
lot
of
what
Steve
and
Laura
are
saying
that
we
do
have
comprehensive
plans
for
a
reason
you
know.
At
the
same
time,
white
Jeff
I
grew
up
in
Austin
since
I
can
remember,
that's
been
you
know
whether
it
was
car
corner
or
a
different
wide.
M
It's
been
a
car
lot
and
I
don't
see
where
what
else
it
becomes,
and
you
know
if
we're
trying
to
figure
out
ways
to
expand
our
tax
base,
we're
trying
to
figure
out
ways
to
stimulate
local
business.
It
sounds
like
there's
things
that
we
couldn't
theory
due
to
maybe
restrict
it
to
a
car
lot
at
some
point
in
the
future.
M
From
an
ordinance
standpoint,
you
know
to
me
it
would
be
different
if
it
was
an
empty
lot
sitting
in
the
middle
of
a
residential
area
that
we
would
just
wanted
to
put
a
car
lot
into,
but
you
know
30
plus
years
of
it
being
a
lot.
That's
there
to
me,
even
if
it
was
12
plus
months
that
it
hasn't
been
used
specifically
as
a
car
lot.
I
would
agree,
I
think
we've
got
enough
empty
buildings
right
now,
and
it's
not
easy,
but
I
would
be
in
favor
of
granting
the
rezoning
I
mean.
P
B
L
L
K
As
a
b2
zoning
designation,
there's
a
list
of
permitted
uses
that
are
allowed
without
any
government
interaction
whatsoever.
Then
there
are
a
list
of
conditional
use
permit
uses
that
would
require
review
by
the
Planning
Commission,
but
all
of
those
options
would
be
available
on
this
property
into
the
future.
Unless
there
was
an
application
to
rezone
it
again,
which
usually
you
don't
see,
properties
attempt
to
rezone
down
in
intensity,
they're,
always
going
up
in
intensity,
so
going
back
again
to
residential
would
be
unlikely.
K
The
one
option
that
Holly
had
mentioned
would
be
a
an
ro
which
is
more
of
an
office
which
is
more
service,
oriented
things
like
two
plumbing
business,
perhaps
or
the
roofing
business.
That
was
there
temporarily
between
the
car
lot
and
now
might
fit
into
an
ro.
So
there
are
other
commercial
uses
under
ro
they're.
Just
the
types
of
uses
that
have
less
intensity
and
less
impact
on
neighbors,
then
we've
at
least
determined
car
dealerships
would
have
car.
K
K
K
I
I,
don't
I,
don't
think
that
would
be
an
issue
just
and
then
keep
in
mind
that
there
is
also
a
future
request
to
rezone
additional
property
to
this
b2
as
well.
So
that
would
add
additional
potentially
commercial
I
mean
they
I
guess
just
keep
in
mind
that
you'll
be
making
the
same
analysis,
I
guess
probably
next
month
it.
K
Does
complicate
it,
though,
if
mr.
homers
is
asking
is
suggesting
that
if
you
grant
this
he'll
be
back
at
a
future
meeting
asking
his
property
also
be
rezone
and
his
property
is
around
the
corner
just
a
little
bit
on
the
north
end
right
now,
because
he
has
an
empty
lots
and
then
a
house
on
the
next
slide.
The
50-foot
setback
could
almost
be
achieved
on
the
north
end
of
this
property.
But
if
you
rezone
his
to
a
car
lot,
then
he'll
be
close
to
the
next
neighbor
and
then
so.
K
C
I
Spoken
to
Glenn
about
that
Glenn
and
I
spoke
early
on
when
he
first
purchased
that
property
in
detail
and
at
length
about
what
uses
were
available
for
that
property.
I
talked
to
him
today
on
the
phone
about
that
and
letting
him
know
that
that
was
my
recollection
and
he
does
not
recall
having
that
conversation
with
me.
B
I
P
J
I
would
just
like
to
mention
back
in
1975
on
the
south
end
of
the
lot
on
7th
Avenue.
There
was
used-car
dealer
near
by
nima
Wyatt
Auto,
Sales,
Jim
Wyatt,
and
he
was
in
their
body
year
or
sold
and
I
think
he
went
out
and
then
I
think
it
was
a
Polish
parlor
in
there
in
that
building
and
then
in
1978
is
when
that
property
was
reverted
from
like
a
commercial
deal
to
r2,
because
this
lady
that
owned
that
property
was
older,
lady
and
then
it
was
reverted
from
like
a
commercial
to
r2
in
1978.
J
Nor
was
the
public
notice
put
in
the
newspaper
to
that
effect.
So
that's
how
it
got
to
r2
and
then
so,
when
I
come
in
there
in
1989,
he
went
in
front
of
the
console.
You
know
that's
when
they
decided
to
go
ahead
and
give
me
the
non-conforming
use
permit
for
the
used-car
lot.
That's
when
that
took
place.
B
F
A
L
B
F
I
A
B
B
A
B
A
B
R
We
had
come
across
two
weeks
ago
about
getting
hoping
to
get
to
$5,000
for
putting
up
planters
in
downtown
Austin
for
the
winter
season.
This
would
be
a
one-time
request
and,
following
this,
the
money
needed
for
those
planters
would
be
added
into
a
I
should
say
it's
a
first-time
full
request
with
next
time
we're
hoping
to
have
it
added
into
the
flower
pot.
The
flower
basket
request
and
have
some
other
funds
being
made
available
for
it.
So
we
wouldn't
be
coming
to
the
council
for
the
entire
amount
we
have
in.
R
We
have
sent
in
the
map,
for
you
guys
to
see
which
has
all
of
the
planters
there
are
turns
out.
There
are
31
planters,
so
we
want
to
thank
mr.
Nelson
for
helping
us
count
them.
We
have
29
that
we
will
actually
fill
and
they
will
be
filled
with
by
Burke's
nursery
for
a
total
of
five
thousand
dollars
and
not
a
penny.
More
second
piece
of
information
is
that
what
they
are
going
to
be
looking
like
they
have
already.
A
portion
of
them
has
already
gone
up,
which
is
the
portion
that
we
actually
pretty.
R
We
had
some
of-
and
we
needed
to
do-
that
because
of
the
winter
and
before
they
needed
to
get
planted
before
the
pots
actually
froze.
So
that
was
an
important
piece
to
kind
of
move
ahead.
They
are
not
finished
yet
there's
a
lot
of
the
physical
decoration.
We
have
a
picture
of
what
they
were,
the
idea
of
what
they
will
look
like,
but
maybe
sandy
can
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
the
garnishments
of
the
physical
planters,
but.
P
E
And
like
she
said,
they're
half
done
so.
Basically
we
have
the
birch
from
last
year
that
Park
and
Rec
saved,
and
then
we
also
have
the
berries
that
were
saved
too.
So
they
have
it'll
be
a
lot
taller
than
that.
You
know
like
the
greenery,
but
yeah
so
already
the
greenery
Xin
and
then
the
berries
are
in
in
the
birch,
so
they
just
have
to
go
around
now
and
fill
the
rest
of
it
with
the
berries
and
then
the
red
twigs,
but
all
the
hub
with
29
packs.
E
E
R
R
B
R
L
R
So
the
pumpkins
and
the
hay
bales
were
all
paid
for
between
this
van
Museum
discover
Austin
and
the
governor's
pheasant
hunting
opener,
so
that
total
was
about
about
$500.
So
we'd
be
very
something
fairly
easy
to
do
again.
But
you
know
it's
again
something
that
we
want
to
make
sure
that
there's
a
full
there's
full
support
for
okay,
okay,.
B
C
R
R
B
F
M
The
only
comment
I
have
is
I,
think
they're
gonna,
look
great
I,
commend
you
guys
for
your
work
with
the
downtown
and
the
revitalization
I.
Think
it's
gonna,
look
really
good
I!
Think
reiterating
from
our
last
meeting
this
being
a
one-time
request
and
figure
out.
The
fundraising
will
be
key
because
I'm
sure
we'll
have
some
tough
budget
decisions
to
make
next
year.
So
I
don't
know
that
the
full
amount
will
be
something
we
can.

M
Just
following
up
so
had
the
opportunity
to
be
out
in
Washington
DC.
Last
week,
Sarah
Karki
from
our
human
rights
commission
had
invited
myself
and
Fatima
said
from
Project
fine
and
Winona.
Austin
was
one
of
four
cities
that
was
asked
to
come
out
and
meet
with
congressional
delegations,
so
it
was
Austin
Salt,
Lake
County,
which
apparently
there's
a
County
Hanna
City
Atlanta,
Georgia
and
st.
M
cloud,
and
so
we
should
feel
really
good
about
the
welcoming
efforts
that
we're
putting
together
in
this
community
and
that
the
work
that
so
many
people
in
this
room
and
beyond
this
room
are
doing
is
really
a
model
that
even
major
metropolitan
areas
are
really
impressed
by.
And
so
it
was
a
good
opportunity,
he's
kind
of
like
rolling
a
rock
up
the
hill,
having
conversations
about
workforce
and
illegal
immigration
with
Congress
at
this
point
of
the
year.
But
it
makes
us
feel
really
really
functional
and
I.
Appreciate
that.
B

Just
want
to
announce

come

out
and
see
it.
O
Q
Got
it
it
took
me
a
moment,
I
just
wanted
to.
Let
you
know
that
the
the
library
did,
our
community
collaboration,
grant
workshop
on
October
25th.
We
had
60
participants
about
half
for
SoCo
library
staff
and
the
other
half
were
community
members,
and
the
title
of
the
workshop
was
advancing
racial
equity,
the
role
of
libraries
and
the
communities
they
serve,
and
it
was
a
really
really
great
day.
Everybody
I
think.
Q
Had
we
had
a
good
turnout,
we
had
the
the
presenter
was
really
impressed
with
the
community
members
that
showed
up,
and
it
was
really
an
I.
The
the
purpose
was
to
get
together
and
build
an
introductory
understanding
for
how
to
talk
about
operationalizing
and
organizing
for
racial
equity,
and
I
really
appreciate
everybody
coming
and
then
our
next
step
is
to
have
we're
gonna,
be
watching
the
documentary
race,
the
power
of
an
illusion
and
we're
starting
that
on
November
12th,
with
the
first
episode.
So,
if
you're
interested
please
come
on
out
to
the
library.
B
S
Projects
are
wrapping
up,
weather
is
going
to
be
changing
on
us
this
week,
Wednesday.
We
have
a
major
change
in
the
weather
and
that's
kind
of
going
to
be
shutting
us
down,
but
we're
planning
to
open
up
Oakland
place
southeast
the
railroad
underpass
on
wednesday,
hopefully
wednesday
morning,
sometime
right
now
we're
looking
at
just
one
lane
in
each
direction
and
then
allowing
the
contractor
to
continue
working
on
the
boulevards
and
things
like
that
and
sidewalks,
but
that
we're
looking
at
wednesday
for
opening
at
the
Oakland
place,
railroad
underpass.
B
Okay,
I
think
I
have
is
I
was
contacted
lately,
the
Holiday
Train
is
going
to
be
in
Austin.
If
you
haven't
been
to
that,
it's
a
lot
of
fun
and
I
have
never
been
to
one
where
it
was
a
freezing
cold.
So
you
know
it's
gonna
get
cold
by
then
that's
out
December
6th
at
from
5:15
to
5:45,
and
it's
a
like
a
food
shelf
thing
I.
Think
the.
B
Go
to
the
food
shelves,
there's
gonna
be
a
Town
Hall
Wednesday
November
6
this
wednesday
at
6:30
to
7:30,
with
our
Congressman
Jim
Hagedorn
at
the
hormone
house,
and
he's
asked
that
I
moderate
that
so
I'm
gonna
make
sure
Austin's
views,
er
are
heard
and
that's
about
it
I
wanna.
We
did
get
a
very
nice
letter
to
the
paper
for
one
of
the
Austin
crews,
pulling
up
a
manhole
cover
and
getting
a
set
of
glasses
for
late
I.
B
Don't
even
I
haven't
really
checked
at
what
department
I'm
sure
that
Street
Stephen
it
does
a
lot
for
your
people,
yeah
someone
that
was
good
I
mean
they
we're
really
proud
of
our
employees.
You
know
we
go
through
some
stuff,
sometimes
in
negotiations,
but
we're
really
proud
of
our
employees,
and
we
have
good
reason
to
be
they.
They
they
make
us
proud,
especially
by
stuff
like
that.
So
if
there's
nothing
else,
we
need
a
motion
to
adjourn
till
Monday
November
18
2019
at
5:30
council
chambers
need
a
motion.
Second,
second
favor.
