I WOULD LIKE TO WARM A DECEMBER CANDLE TO REFLECT THE LIGHT. THAT IS PRESENT WITHIN EACH OF US AS INDIVIDUALS AND ILLUMINATED. THE CULTURES IN MANY TRADITIONS THAT MAKE UP OUR MCKINNEY COMMUNITY, WHICH WERE PRIVILEGED TO SERVE THROUGH OUR WORK ON THE C. D.

C. IT'S REMEMBER WITH GRATITUDE. THE EFFORTS OF OUR CITY LEADERS, STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS WHO KEPT OUR CITY'S SAFE, OPERATIONAL AND INDEED THRIVING. ACCOUNT THE BRAVE EFFORTS OF OUR HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS, FIRST RESPONDERS, TEACHERS AND NONPROFIT STAFF AND ALSO VOLUNTEERS WHO HAVE KEPT THEIR LIGHT BRIGHT TO ASSIST OTHERS DURING THIS PAST YEAR.

[CONSENT ITEMS]

MOTION PASSES. I'LL BE GONE. IN THE REPORTS AND FINANCIAL REPORT.

[Financial Report]

NO. WE HAVE TWO SETS OF FINANCIALS TO GO OVER THIS MONTH. ONE IS CATCHING UP WITH ONE THAT WE MISSED IN THE PRIOR MONTH. SO THE FIRST ONE'S ON OCTOBER 2020, WHICH IS OUR FIRST MONTH OF FISCAL YEAR, 2021 FOR REVENUES WE HAD RIGHT AT 1.3 MILLION. EXPENDITURES WERE AT 2.8 MILLION. THE MAJORITY OF THAT 2.6 MILLION WAS FOR THE PURCHASE OF CAPITAL.

I BELIEVE THAT WAS THE WAY AND THAT'S THE WAY YOU BUDGET BEFORE GOING INTO THE FISCAL YEAR, THE RESULTING IN THAT DECREASE OF 1.5 MILLION. MOVING ONTO SELLS TEX SELLS TAX FOR

[00:05:06]

MOVING ON TO OUR SISTER CITIES. ALAN HAD A WAS JUST ABOUT THE SAME AS THE YEAR BEFORE. FIRST GO AHEAD OF 4.1% INCREASE IN PLAYING OUT A 6.4% INCREASE. SO IT WAS NICE TO SEE SOME BREXITERS SISTER CITY START TO PICK UP. AND THAT WAS THE LAST LAST MONTH OF FISCAL YEAR. 2020 SO LOOKING AT IT, WE BUNCH OF THAT 4.7 MILLION WAS OUR YEAR END ESTIMATE WHAT WE EXPECTED.

AWAITED ABOUT 16.1 MILLION. THAT'S 1.4 MILLION. THEY'LL BE ROLLING INTO FUND BALANCE AND GIVE OR TAKE A LITTLE BIT WHEN WE DO THAT WE'RE GOING TO THE AUDIT PROCESS RIGHT NOW. SO NEXT MONTH, I SHOULD HAVE THE NEW UPDATED FUND BALANCE NUMBERS. BUT AS OF RIGHT NOW, YOU CAN EXPECT AROUND 1.4 MILLION TO ROLL INTO FUND BALANCE. AND I'M SAYING THAT I'LL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. GIVES IT ALL THE CHAIR. YOU. THANK YOU. LIVING ON TWO OUT OF

[President’s Report]

AND, UM WINE AND BEER WALK, I THINK. THOSE GROUPS REALLY DID AN INCREDIBLE JOB OF SHIFTING HOW THEY ORGANIZED THEIR EVENTS WITHIN THE COVERT ENVIRONMENT. AND DESPITE. THE IMPACT OF THAT HAD VERY SUCCESSFUL EVENTS, AND THEY'VE OUTLINED HOW THEY HOW THEY SUCCESSFULLY SHIFTED IN THE RESULTS OF THOSE EVENTS. SO PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THOSE. UM, SEVERAL. COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS THAT I WANTED TO MENTION THE CHAMBER'S ANNUAL. EVENT BEFORE IT'S BEEN A WINE WALK EVENT IN DOWNTOWN MCKINNEY, AND THEY HAVE ADAPTED AS WELL FOR THIS YEAR. TOC SHOP CLICK AND WINE. THE ACTUAL EVENT HAS ENDED. BUT THE COUPONS THERE WERE COUPONS THAT WERE SECURED FROM SMALL BUSINESSES ACROSS MCKINNEY, AND THEY'RE STILL AVAILABLE THROUGH THE END OF THIS MONTH. CRAIG RANCH FITNESS WAS A MAJOR SPONSOR OF THAT EVENT. AND IF YOU GO TO THAT WEB SITE YOU CAN YOU CAN. SECURE THE COUPONS THAT ARE AVAILABLE. THE OTHER THING THAT IS HAPPENING OUT OF COLLABORATIVE BASES THE CITY OF MCKINNEY AND THE MCKINNEY CHAMBER.

BRIGHTER DAYS ARE AHEAD. AND THIS YEAR WITH ARTS AND BLOOM WE INTEND TO BRING 35,000 VISITORS TO DOWNTOWN MCKINNEY, ARTS AND BLOOM IS A THREE DAY FESTIVAL SCHEDULED IN EARLY APRIL, STRATEGICALLY CALENDAR TO LINE WITH OTHER REGIONAL ART SHOWS. THE FESTIVAL SHOWCASE 100 LOCAL, REGIONAL AND NATIONAL ARTISTS REPRESENTING A VARIETY OF MEDIUMS. BOOSTS ARE SPREAD THROUGHOUT DOWNTOWN AND INCLUDE REPRESENTATION FROM M I S T. ARJUN BLUM IS ALSO A CELEBRATION OF WINE WAY HAVE THREE WINERIES IN THE DOWNTOWN, AND THIS YEAR WE'RE STAYING AWAY FROM ONE LARGE WINE TENT. WINERIES WILL PROVIDE SAMPLES IN SEPARATE BOOTHS THAT OFFER LOTS OF SPACE IS FOR EVERYONE. WE'RE ALL ABOUT FAMILIES IS WELL, TOO. WE KNOW THAT THEY'RE AN IMPORTANT AUDIENCE, AND WE'LL HAVE ACTIVITIES FOR ALL AGES. WE MAY NOT HAVE HER BIG MAIN STAGES THIS YEAR, BUT WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT MUSIC IS ALIVE AND ALL OVER DOWNTOWN.

OUR GOALS FOR ART IN BLOOM INCLUDE THE PROMOTION OF DOWNTOWN MCKINNEY HIGHLIGHTING THE ARTS IN THE CULTURAL DISTRICT AND INCREASING FOOT TRAFFIC AND SALES. THESE LARGE SCALE EVENTS GIVE US THE ABILITY TO ATTRACT VISITORS. AND GUESTS FROM ACROSS NORTH TEXAS. IT GIVES US AN OPPORTUNITY TO MARKET IN WAYS THAT WE TYPICALLY CAN'T WE'RE ASKING FOR $7500. WE HAVE A BUDGET OF 10,000 WERE GONNA SPEND 3000 AND PRINT 3000 AND SOCIAL MEDIA AND 3000 ON A BILLBOARD AND HOW WE'RE GONNA MEASURE THE SUCCESS. WE'RE GOING TO TALK TO PEOPLE THAT ATTEND THE EVENT. THIS IS CHARTS FROM PREVIOUS YEARS, WE'RE GOING TO GET INPUT FROM ARTISTS THAT ATTEND AND SURVEYS FROM THE FROM THE ARTIST. MOST IMPORTANTLY, WE'RE GOING TO SEEK FEEDBACK FROM OUR BUSINESSES, ARTS AND BLOOM BRINGS IMPORTANT FOOT TRAFFIC AND SALES TO DOWNTOWN MCKINNEY. SO ON BEHALF OF OUR BOARD AND STAFF, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE CONSIDERATION. CUTE LOOKS. ABSOLUTELY. I GOT A QUESTION.

UH, I UNDERSTAND HOW HARD IT IS TO COORDINATE WITH ARTISTS AND ALL OTHER. SORT OF DIFFERENT EVENTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. UM I WAS JUST YOU PROBABLY MEETING ON THIS ALREADY AT YOUR IN YOUR BOARD. IF YOU CONSIDER OR COULD YOU CONSIDER MOVING BACK THE DATE GIVEN THE VACCINE

[00:35:08]

WEAKEN BUFFER. WE CAN SPREAD THE TENTS OUT. WE CAN GIVE THEM MORE SPACE. I THINK ANDREW'S LOOKING AT LIKE 10 FT BETWEEN TENTS. SO FROM A. YOU KNOW AN ATTENDEE STANDPOINT, YOU KNOW, AND FROM A PARTICIPANT STANDPOINT, THIS WILL BE A VERY SAFE EVENT. NOW. CAN WE HAVE A FUN CONCERT THAT NIGHT? PROBABLY NOT. BUT I THINK THERE'S ALSO THAT KIND OF UNDISCOVERED HAVING YOU KNOW, STREET PERFORMERS ON DIFFERENT CORNERS THAT KIND OF PEOPLE ENJOY. AND AGAIN, THE WINE TENT IS PROBABLY NOT GONNA BE THAT BIG WINE TENT WHERE EVERYBODY'S IN THERE. YOU KNOW, HAVING SAMPLES? IT'S PROBABLY IT'S GOING TO BE WINERIES THAT AIR DISTRIBUTED THROUGHOUT DOWNTOWN. BUT THERE'S SOME GOOD THINGS, TOO. THAT AS WELL, KIND OF SOME EXPLORATION. THE OTHER THING THAT REALLY IS ON OUR MIND RIGHT NOW, TOO. IS THAT CONSTRUCTION ON LOUISIANA SO YOU KNOW IF. I THINK WE'RE GOING TO NEED SOMETHING IN APRIL AND MAY NOT BE, YOU KNOW 100% ARTS AND BLOOM OF WHAT IT TYPICALLY IS, BUT I REALLY HOPE WE CAN KEEP IT THERE. HAVE YOU REDUCED THE NUMBER OF VENDORS OR YOU'RE JUST SPREADING OUT MORE AND UTILIZING MAURA OF DOWNTOWN WE HAVE TYPICALLY WERE ABOUT 1 20 ARTISTS THIS YEAR.

IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE CLOSER TO THE 85 TO THE HUNT. 100 YOU KNOW, AGAIN, WE ARE REDUCING KIND OF WHAT WE'RE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE. THERE'S BEEN SOME TALK TO ABOUT POTENTIALLY. RELOCATING SOME OF THE ARTISTS INTO SOME OF THE ADJACENT PARKING LOTS. KIND OF, YOU KNOW, MAYBE PROVIDING SOME EXPOSURE TO OUR PARKING LOTS. THAT'S ALWAYS TRICKY, TOO, BECAUSE THEN IT'S LIKE. PARKING SO, BUT WE'RE WORKING THROUGH THE LOGISTICS. I APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT YOU'VE ALREADY STARTED WITH PLAN B. THRILL IMPORTANT IN THIS TIME TO PLAN FOR THE WORST, AND THEN IF YOU GET TO ADJUST BACK TO MORE NORMAL, THAT'S PROBABLY AN EASIER ADJUSTMENT. THEN GO IN THE OTHER DIRECTION, SO I APPRECIATE. ENDED THIS WAY.

YEAH, THANKS. THANKS. RIGHT? THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANKS FOR THE CONSIDERATION. THANKS. ADAM

THE WARRIORS KEEP EMBRACED TEXAS AND MCKINNEY FREE LITTLE PANTRY. WE WILL MEASURE THE EVENT SUCCESS BASED ON OUR ATTENDANCE. WE HOPE TO SELL OUT EACH WALKING 1500. OUR SUCCESS WILL ALSO BE DEPENDENT ON FEEDBACK FROM THE LOCAL MERCHANTS. WE ALL WE WANT TO HEAR THAT THEY ALL HAD A SPECTACULAR SALES DAY. YEAH. AS THERE ARE FIVE EVENTS IN THIS SERIES.

OR IS THAT JUST KIND OF WHAT YOU HAVE IN MIND NOW? DO THAT, WITH THE AMOUNT EMERGENCY PARTICIPATE. 2000 IS KIND OF THE MAX CAPACITY THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO HANDLE COMFORTABLY AT EACH MERCHANT. SOME OF THE MERCHANTS COULD CERTAINLY HANDLE PROBABLY LARGER NUMBERS, BUT A LOT OF THEM CAN'T BASED ON THE SIZE OF THEIR STORES. SO WE WOULDN'T INCREASE BEYOND THAT. WE DO HOPE THAT BY SUMMER AND MOVING INTO FALL, WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH OUR REGULAR FESTIVALS, LARGE SCALE EVENTS, THINGS THAT WERE USED TONTO UNACCUSTOMED TO WHICH IS PART OF THE REASON WHY ALL THE MARKETING DOLLARS HELP. WITH THE MARGINS ALREADY BEING VERY

SO THEN THE PLAN, I GUESS FOR THE UM ST PATRICK'S DAY. YOU'LL STILL STACKED. WILL YOU STAGGER THE START TIMES AGAIN? JUST IN CASE WE'RE NOT. RIGHT THERE YET WITH KOBE'S YES. OH THE NORMALLY THE BIG FESTIVAL WE DO OVER AT TUBBS WOULD YOU KNOW WILL BE MODIFIED TO MOSTLY GONNA BE JUST THE RACE PARTICIPANTS AND THEN WE'RE HOPING UM. THAT MOST OF THOSE THAT WOULD GET TO SIGN UP FOR THE RACE WILL ALSO PARTICIPATE ON COME OVER TO DOWNTOWN MCKINNEY TO PARTICIPATE IN THE WALK, BUT BUT, YOU KNOW, AROUND MARCH ST PATRICK'S DAY, I THINK WE'RE STILL GONNA BE IN THE SA SIMILAR SITUATION WHAT WE'RE IN NOW BEFORE THAT VACCINE CAN REALLY BEFORE WE REALLY SEE THE EFFECTS OF CASE NUMBER IS GOING DOWN. SO.

SARGE, IS THAT ANSWER? YES, THAT ANSWERS MY QUESTION. AND I AND I WAS I WAS THINKING ABOUT THIS. ESSO LAST YEAR WAS YOUR FIRST YEAR TO DO. THE MARGARITA WINE AND BEER WALKS IN DOWNTOWN AND THEN YOU'VE KIND OF TAKEN THE MONSTER DASH AND THE ST PATRICK'S DAY AND KIND OF MADE IT ALL INTO THE SYRIZA. SO IN MY CORRECT IN THAT THAT THE. THREE WALKS LAST YEAR WERE BRAND NEW AS OF LAST YEAR, AND SO YOU'RE JUST INCORPORATING THEM INTO THIS BIG SERIES FOR THIS NEXT YEAR, HUH? YEAH ABSOLUTELY. YES WE'RE ON. WE'RE STILL GOING TO OUR PLAN IS TO STILL CONTINUE TO DO LIKE A LOT OF BUSINESSES THAT FIGURE OUT WAYS TO PIVOT SOME OF THEIR BUSINESS MODELS DURING COVE. IT. IT'S THE SAME FOR US. WE THINK THAT THESE WALKS ARE SUCCESSFUL.

A GREAT WAY TO BRING PEOPLE TO DOWNTOWN TO SHOP. YOU KNOW, WITH THE MERCHANTS. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE EVEN ONCE WE'RE PAST COVE. IT. NOT SOMETHING THAT WE'RE GONNA ELIMINATE, JUST KIND OF INCORPORATE INTO OUR BUSINESS BECAUSE WE THINK IT'S JUST. IT MAKES SENSE FOR US. I HAVE ONE SUGGESTION. BECAUSE I ENJOY THESE SYRIZA, UM. WHEN YOU IT'S INTERESTING BECAUSE YOU GO AND YOU'RE HAVING THESE TASTINGS AND YOU'RE LIKE, OH, I LOVE THAT ONE. I LOVE THAT ONE. AND THEN YOU GET A LITTLE NOTE THAT SAYS YOU CAN GET THIS EXPECTS, AND THEN I FORGET, AND THEN I DON'T GET IT EXPECTS. AND THEN I'M TRYING TO REMEMBER WHAT? WHY IT WAS. IT WOULD BE GREAT EVENTUALLY, IF WE'RE AT THAT POINT. HAVEN'T AREA AFTER THE WALK, WHERE PEOPLE CAN ACTUALLY GO AND PURCHASE THOSE WINES AND TAKE THEM HOME WITH THEM ON DIVE DONE, IT WALKS LIKE THAT. AND IT'S ACTUALLY REALLY NICE BECAUSE YOU HAVE YOUR CARD AND YOU ACTUALLY EVEN. VOTE ON THE BEST WINE AND THEN YOU CAN GO AND ACTUALLY BUY IT LATER. SO THAT'S JUST MY SUGGESTION. ABSOLUTELY. THAT'S A GREAT SUGGESTION. THANK YOU. ONE LAST QUESTION. WHAT IS YOUR BUDGET FOR ADVERTISING PROMOTION OUTSIDE OF THE GRANTS. WHAT ARE

[00:55:06]

THAT'S KIND OF. DON'T HAVE AN EXACT FIGURE FOR YOU. IT'S DEPENDENT ON HOW MUCH WE'RE ABLE TO RECEIVE THROUGH, YOU KNOW, LIKE I SAID, WITH THE MARGINS ALREADY BEING SIGNIFICANTLY SMALL WORLD WERE YOU KNOW WE WOULD TRY AND STRETCH AS MUCH AS WE COULD TO PUT TOWARDS THE PROMOTION OF OUR OWN. MONEY, BUT IT WOULD BE DEPENDENT ON HOW MUCH WE'RE ABLE TO DO ON HOW MUCH WE'RE ABLE TO LEVER SOME OF OUR PARTNERSHIPS WITH WITH INFLUENCERS AND ANOTHER CHANNELS TO ADVERTISE. UM. SO IS IT SAFE TO SAY THAT THE 23,000 YOU'VE REQUESTED FROM THE CITY IS 100% OF YOUR MARKETING BUDGET AT THIS POINT.

UM IT WOULDN'T BE 100. WE WOULD, UM, CONTRIBUTE. OTHER MONEY, BUT IT WOULD BE CLOSE TO THE MAJORITY. THE BUDGET CORRECT AS OF RIGHT NOW. BUT LIKE I SAID, WHATEVER. WOULDN'T BE HAD. I MEAN, OUR GOAL. YOU KNOW, WE'RE GONNA BRING 1500 PEOPLE. REGARDLESS WE'RE GOING TO SELL OUT. HOWEVER, WE NEED T DO THAT SO. SO WE'LL PUT WHATEVER MONEY WE NEED TO AND BASED ON HOW SALES ARE TRENDING. YOU KNOW, WHATEVER WE NEED TO DO TO GET THOSE PARTICIPANTS THERE, BUT. IT'S ALL GONNA BE DEPENDENT ON YOU KNOW THESE THINGS GRANT MONEY.

THING I DO WANT TO SAY IS I DO MAKE A POINT. EVERY TIME YOU HAVE ONE OF THESE EVENTS OF TALKING TO A LOT OF MERCHANTS ARE GOING TOE LIKE ABOUT A THIRD OF THEM ANYWAY. AND THEY ALL ECHO WHAT YOU HAD SAID ON YOUR PRESENTATION. HOW MUCH THEY APPRECIATE IT AND HOW MUCH THEY APPRECIATE THE TRAFFIC AND IT'S THAT'S A BIG DEAL. YEAH. I MEAN, IT'S THANK YOU FOR ACKNOWLEDGING THAT AND WE DO YOU KNOW OF SEA RECEIVED, YOU KNOW PRETTY MUCH ALL THE FEEDBACK IS POSITIVE. SO IT'S WE THINK IT'S YOU KNOW, IT'S A WIN WIN WIN FOR THE BUSINESSES THAT THERE'S NO COST TO THEM. ALL THEY SEE IS THE YOU KNOW THE PROMOTIONAL. YOU KNOW THE ADVERTISING FOR THE PRESENTS AND BRINGING IN THE FOOT TRAFFIC TO THEIR THEIR STORES.

MURDER MYSTERY EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS AND THEN OUR ICE CREAM CRANK OFF. I TOUCHED ON THIS A LITTLE BIT HERE. BUT AGAIN, WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING WHAT WE COULD DO WITH RESPECT, TOLO. WHAT'S GONNA BE TRANSITIONING IN THE NEW YEAR. SO WHAT THINGS WE HAVE DONE? IS WE PARTNER WITH THE LOCAL SOCIAL MEDIA PARTNER. SHE'S DONE A GREAT JOB WITH OUR BRANDING AND GETTING THE WORD OUT ON A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT WAYS. SO THAT'S ONE WAYS. WE'VE BEEN DOING A LOT OF THINGS IN HOUSE TO PROMOTE OUR ACTIVITIES. WE'VE PARTNERED WITH AMY ON SEVERAL THINGS THAT'S SIMILAR TO WHAT RICK. MENTIONED TO US EARLIER BUT AGAIN, WE WANT TO FOCUS ON THE MURDER MYSTERY. THE CHILDREN'S CAMPS. ACTIVITIES ARE FARMERS MARKETS FOR THINGS BUDGET. THE ASSET WE HAVE IS FOR 12,500. THIS REPRESENTS ABOUT 80% OF OUR BUDGET FOR THE SPRING EVENTS. WE'VE UTILIZED. SEVERAL OF THE LOCAL RESOURCE IS FOR MARKETING. AND THIS IS WHERE THESE DOLLARS WILL BE GOING INTO DIFFERENT AVENUES SUCH AS THE STAR LOCAL MEDIA STONEBRIDGE RANCH MAGAZINE, EDIBLE MAGAZINE DALLAS SO WE DO GET THE WORD OUT. THROUGHOUT THE D FW MARKET. THIS IS HOW IT'S GONNA BE BROKEN DOWN AND HOW WE'D BE ALLOCATING THE DOLLARS FOR THIS ASK AND SO YOU CAN SEE THE ITEMIZED BROKEN DOWN HERE.

THAT'S A GREAT ADVICE. WE LEVERAGED. IT'S INTERESTING. THE CHESTER SQUARE FACEBOOK PAGES X NUMBER OF YOU. ALL THOSE, IF YOU WILL, IN THE FARMER'S MARKET IS LIKE THREE TIMES THAT SO WE DO LEVERAGE THAT WE FEEL LIKE THE FARMER'S MARKET IS KIND OF OUR JEWEL OVER THERE, AND THEN WE'RE GONNA BE DOING MORE WITH THOSE RESOURCE IS ONE THING WE'RE GONNA DO IS. UTILIZE A YOUTUBE CHANNEL. WE WERE ON THE. WE'VE GOT SOMEBODY WHO'S GONNA BE DOING SOME DIFFERENT PROMOTIONS AROUND THAT KIND OF SPOTLIGHTING THE DIFFERENT FARMERS ON THE VENDORS. SO THAT'LL BE KIND OF UNIQUE TO GET SOME EXTRA EXPOSURE FOR OUR RESOURCE IS OUT THERE. WEDDINGS TOOK A HIT. SO THOSE THOSE KIND OF THINGS TO THAT KIND OF IMPACTED OUR DOLLARS.

WE WANT TO SHOW THEM SOMETHING GREAT AND THEN HAVE HIM COME BACK AGAIN. WE APPRECIATE M. C D. C AND WE ARE HERE TO ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT. ESPECIALLY THIS YEAR. IN THIS YEAR'S BUDGET.

THEA M. C D. C. GRANT WOULD PROVIDE 78% OF OUR OVERALL PROMOTIONAL BUDGET WITH THE MUSEUM PROVIDING THE BALANCE. 2020 HAS BEEN A YEAR. IN 2019. WE HAD 7000 VISITORS FROM 12 DIFFERENT COUNTRIES, FIVE DIFFERENT CONTINENTS AND 36. OVER 50 STATES. FROM JANUARY TO MID MARCH. 2020 WE WERE PRETTY MUCH ON TRACK WITH ALMOST 900 VISITORS, AND THEN WE HAD TO CLOSE FOR CO VID. WE TRIED TO REOPEN A FEW WEEKS AGO, BUT AFTER ONLY ONE DAY OPEN, OUR BOARD DECIDED THAT IT IS STILL TOO SOON WE WILL EVALUATE AGAIN AND WE HOPE TO REOPEN IN FEBRUARY. LET'S TALK ABOUT 2020. IN JANUARY, WE HAD A CAPACITY CROWD FOR A NIGHT ON

[01:05:09]

IN EARLY MARCH, WE HOSTED HISTORICAL COSTUMING WORKSHOP. IN COVERT HIT OUR STRATEGY TO GET THROUGH THIS VERY DIFFICULT TIME HAS BEEN TO KEEP PEOPLE INTERESTED IN MCKINNEY'S HISTORY AND MCKINNEY. WE WANT TO BE AT THE TOP OF EVERYONE'S LIST TO VISIT WHEN IT'S SAFE TO GO OUT AGAIN. WELL, WE'VE BEEN CLOSED. WE HAVE BEEN POSTING ON SOCIAL MEDIA. WE HAVE INSTALLED AN OUTDOOR EXHIBIT SPACE. WE HAVE BEEN WORKING IN THE ARCHIVES ON TOURS ON OUR NEXT EXHIBIT PLANNING NEW EVENTS. THIS IS AN EVENT THAT WE HOPE TO HOLD THIS SPRING.

SHELBY COBRA ASSOCIATION TELLS ME THAT THEY HAVE ATTRACTED AS MANY AS 100,000 PEOPLE TO THEIR EXHIBITIONS. WE HAVE ALSO BEEN WRITING ARTICLES THAT ARE PUBLISHED BY CELEBRATION MAGAZINE AND PAID FOR BY LAST YEAR'S M C. D C PROMOTIONAL GRAHAM CELEBRATION MAGAZINE MAKES UP ABOUT HALF OF OUR GRANT APPLICATION. MORE THAN 25% OF OUR MUSEUM. VISITORS TELL US THAT THEY HAVE HEARD ABOUT US THROUGH CELEBRATION MAGAZINE. NUMBERS ARE PRETTY GOOD FOR CELEBRATION MAGAZINE BY THE WAY ON YOUR SCREEN.

OTHER PROMOTIONAL ITEMS ON HER M C, D. C GRANT APPLICATION OR THE MCKINNEY SKETCHED ADVERTISER. HISTORIC CALENDAR, AND ADDITIONALLY, WE WOULD LIKE TO REPRINT RACK CARDS, BROCHURES AND SANDWICH BOARD INSERTS. WE APPRECIATE THEM CDC SUPPORT THE MUSEUM COULD NOT DO WHAT WE DO WITHOUT YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THAT'S THE EXHIBIT CHANGED AT ALL. OR IT'S THE SAME ONE THAT WAY WERE ONE YEAR INTO OUR 23 YEAR. WE KIND OF JUDGE THE PLAN WAS TO JUDGE HOW THE MUSEUM WAS STILL ATTRACTING VISITORS IN THE SECOND YEAR TO SEE IF WE STAYED FOR THE THIRD YEAR. THE INTEREST HAS BEEN REALLY GREAT IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN COME SEE OUR OUR EXHIBIT.

WHEN WE REOPEN. IT IS OUR MISSION TO PROVIDE FREE EXHIBITS TO THE COMMUNITY. BUT IT'S A REALLY GOOD ONE. SOME GREAT TECHNOLOGY. HANDS ON. YOU KNOW IT Z DIFFICULT WITH COVERT RIGHT NOW, BUT WE'VE SHIFTED. WE'RE DOING OTHER THINGS. YOU KNOW, WE'RE TRYING TO DO ONLINE TOURS, AND WE'VE GOT SOME GREAT THINGS LINED UP.

SO WHO IS A LEGACY KEEPERS AND WHAT'S THE PURPOSE? WE WILL USE THE STRENGTH OF OUR UNIQUE IDENTITIES IN A COLLECTIVE FRAMEWORK TO DOCUMENT HONOR AND PROMOTE THE HISTORIC LEGACIES OF MCKINNEY'S BLACK AND MEXICAN COMMUNITIES. ENSURING THAT ALL CULTURES ARE NATURAL PART OF THE COMMUNITY'S EXPERIENCES, SO IT'S NOT JUST TO FOCUS JUST ON BLACK IT MAKE A SKIN CULTURES, BUT IT'S TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE CULTURES ARE INCORPORATED IN ALL THAT IS DONE IN. THE FRAMEWORK IN FABRIC OF THIS COMMUNITY, PARTICULARLY BECAUSE THE FOOTPRINT OF WHAT OLD EAST MCKINNEY LOOKS LIKE IS CHANGING. AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAPTURED THAT AND PROMOTED THROUGHOUT THE CONTINUED HISTORY OF THIS COMMUNITY. THIS ONE. ALSO JUST SHARE THIS STATEMENT REGARDING HOW WE'RE GOING TO SHOW. OKAY,

[01:10:04]

GENERALLY EVENTS IN HISTORY OF THE CITY'S MAINSTREAM COMMUNITIES HAVE BEEN PROMOTED FROM A PERSPECTIVE THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE BLACK AND MEXICAN CULTURE. THIS EFFORT WILL SERVE TO ENHANCE AND PROMOTE A MORE COMPREHENSIVE YET UNIQUE HISTORY OF MCKINNEY'S DIVERSE PAST AND PRESENT IN DOING SO THE FOOTPRINT OF THE TOURISM EXPERIENCE WILL BE EXPANDED.

INCLUDING OPPORTUNITIES TO SPEND MORE TIME AND RESOURCE IS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY, SO WE BELIEVE IT'S THE GREAT PLUS. SO WHY WERE WE FORMED? WE'RE NOT A FORMAL ENTITY JUST YET. AND SO THAT'S WHY I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF COLORFUL COLLABORATIONS FOR LEGACY KEEPERS OF OLDIES ME, KITTY. WE WERE FORMED SO WE CAN IDENTIFY CURRENT RESOURCE IS SUCH AS WHAT WE ARE ALL KNOW, JUST KIND OF ROLL HIM OFF OUR TONGUES. ROSS CEMETERY IN THE MEXICAN CEMETERY THAT JASON HERNANDEZ HAS DONE SUCH A WONDERFUL JOB AND EVERYTHING FOR US. HOLY FILM SCHOOL, WHICH IS THE FORMER ES DODIE SIGHT ON A LOT OF CHURCHES, HISTORIC CHURCHES WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY.

THE STORY MAPS THANKS TO OUR VERY OWN TANYA PHALLUS. EVEN THE COLLIN COUNTY HISTORY MUSEUM WAY KNOW THAT IN THE SPAULDING HAS DONE AN AMAZING JOB ON PULLING TOGETHER. A LOT OF THE. VETERANS THAT ARE LOCATED IN THEIR BURRIED IN RAW CEMETERY. AND SO, WHAT WE'RE DOING TODAY IS WHERE YOU ARE MAKING A REQUEST. WAY HAVE VERY PSYCHOTIC HERE. WHO'S LONG MCKINNEY? FAMILY A SWELL IS CALLING YOU FELLAS HERE. WE'RE MAKING REQUEST ON BEHALF OF LEPROSY KEEPERS TO START OUR FIRST EVENT, WHICH IS GOING TO BE A TOUR OF ROSS CEMETERY DURING BLACK HISTORY MONTH. AND WE'LL START THAT TOUR FOR THE COMMUNITY AND USE THAT AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO PROMOTE THE BLACK CULTURE, AND WE'RE HOPING WE CAN ALSO HAVE THE MEXICAN CEMETERY IN A PLACE WHERE WE CAN TOUR THAT AS WELL WHILE WE'RE THERE. SO WE'LL START THOSE WALKING TOURS AND FEBRUARY, INCLUDING THE VETERANS AND BUFFALO SOLDIER HIGHLIGHTS AND LOTS OF GOOD STORYTELLING AND RE REQUESTING FUNDING OF $2000 TO DO THAT.

I MEAN, THAT'S WHAT IT'S ABOUT THE COLLABORATIONS. I THINK WHEN YOU PROVIDE INCLUSIVE IT IS SO MUCH MORE IMPACTFUL. SO I THINK THIS IS AN AMAZING. INITIATIVE SO IS THE IS THE LONG TERM GOAL THAT THE ORGANIZATION WILL BE CALLED. OR YOU, LIKE, GET A EFFORT KIND OF YOUR EFFORT IN THE LONG TERM GOAL IS TO HAVE THE. THEY SEE KEEPERS AS THE ACTUAL ORGANIZATION. THAT'S THE NAME. WE'RE GOING BY. RIGHT NOW. A ZOO WE FORMALIZE. IT MAY CHANGE UP JUST A LITTLE BIT. BUT RIGHT NOW, THAT'S WHAT THE GROUP HAS KIND OF VOTED ON. WE'VE WAY VOTED ON OUR PURPOSE. WE VOTED ON SOME NAME OPTIONS AND SO WILL CONTINUE, TONTO FORBID AND MAKE IT MORE FORMALIZED. SO, YES. GREAT JOB WITH ALL OF THE RESEARCH OF ALREADY DONE. THANK YOU SO MUCH. WHERE WILL THE TRAVELED TO BE? WILL THEY BE GIVEN OUT AT. EVENT OR WILL THEY BE PLACED LIKE OUT HERE? WE'D LIKE TO HAVE THEM PLACED THROUGHOUT THE VARIOUS PUBLIC.

ENTITIES ON THE SQUARE. THROUGHOUT. THIS AREA. MCKINNEY AND WEST MCKINNEY WHEREVER WE CAN HAVE THOSE LARGE PLACE AND WE LIKE TO START FROM THE SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN. PIECE STARTING JANUARY 1ST. SO THAT WAY WE CAN AT LEAST GET THE MEDIA PRINT OUT THERE. I WANT TO BE FOUND OUT THE CORRECT INFORMATION, SO THE ROSS CEMETERY IS NOT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. ACTUALLY, I MEAN, LIKE. IS IT SKATED? IT IS GATED AND THERE IS A REQUIREMENT TO GET ACCESS TO THE CEMETERY JUST TO PROTECT. THE GROUNDS. YES. SO THIS WOULD BE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO OPEN IT UP. A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE LIKE WHAT WE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WE HAD THAT CEMETERY THERE. AND SO LOTS OF FAMILIES. I'M SIX GENERATIONS HERE. AND LOTS OF FAMILY BURIED OUT THERE. AND SO WE KNOW ABOUT IT AND HOLD IT DEARLY, BUT WE WANT TO OPEN UP THIS GYM TO THE TO THE COMMUNITY, AS WELL AS OTHER TOURIST SITES LIKE. DIRTY HIGH SCHOOL FORMER SITE AND SO THEY CAN LEARN ABOUT THE LEGACY OF HOLY FAMILY SCHOOL AND JUST SO MUCH SO MUCH RICH HISTORY.

YOU HAVE AN ACT? I MEAN, YOU JUST MENTIONED THE SCHOOLS I WAS THINKING, DO YOU HAVE

[01:15:02]

ABSOLUTELY ABSOLUTELY. AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IS INCORPORATE THE YOUTH AND GATHERING THE HISTORY SO WE'RE ACTUALLY LOOKING TOE. CHECK WITH CITY MAYOR, UH, ABOUT STUDENT INTERNSHIP PROGRAM FOR THE SUMMER. SO THAT WAY THE STUDENTS CAN HELP PARTICIPATE AND NOT JUST. GATHER INFORMATION BUT LEARNED TO BE A PART OF CREATING THAT HISTORY AS WELL. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW THAT DEBRA SUGGESTED A STRATEGIC INITIATIVE FOR OUR BOARD TO TRY AND LOOK FOR THINGS TO SUPPORT DIFFERENT YOUTH OR YOUTH ACTIVITIES WITHIN THE CITY THAT WERE SPECIFICALLY MORE CULTURAL AND. IN ORIENTATION, NOT NECESSARILY SPORTS RELATED. WE ALL JUST LOVED THAT ONE ON DE SO WE'RE ALL REALLY BEHIND THAT. SO JUST TAKE REASON. BRING IT UP IS TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT OPPORTUNITY. AND COME BACK EVERY MONTH. TYPE THING, E. NO, YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO COME EVERY MONTH, OKAY? YEAH.

IT'S HARD SOMETIMES FOR US TO BE PROACTIVE. SO WHEN WE SEE A KNOPPER TO NITTY TO T O REACT AND SUPPORT PEOPLE DOING SOMETHING LIKE THIS IN THE COMMUNITY I JUST WANT TO SPEAK UP AND SAY WHAT WORK. I'M KEITH. THANK YOU. YEAH, I'M JUST THRILLED THAT THIS COLLABORATION EFFORT IS COMING TOGETHER SO NICELY TO BE ABLE TO LEVERAGE. GROUP RESOURCE IS ON.

AS OTHERS HAVE SHARED. MERRY CHRISTMAS. HAPPY KONICA. HAPPY KWANZA! HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND GOD BLESS. THANK YOU HAVE ACTUALLY ONE MORE THING. NO, JUST JUSTICE SUGGESTED YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT GETTING THE YOUTH INVOLVED IN COLLECTING THE HISTORY. ONE OTHER THING TO CONSIDER IS OUR IS COLLIN COLLEGE. WE DO A LOT OF SERVICE LEARNING PROJECTS THROUGH OUR INDIVIDUAL COURSES, ESPECIALLY OUR HISTORY COURSES, AND THEY'RE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR ORGANIZATIONS TO PARTNER WITH. OUR STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS ARE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES. AND SO THIS COULD BE A GREAT WAY. WHETHER THERE ARE 5 30 KAPPA HONOR SOCIETY THROUGH THEIR HONORS PROGRAMS THAT THEY DO. OR SOME OF OUR SERVICE, LEARNING IT COULD BE A GREAT WAY TO PARTNER WITH OUR COLLEGE STUDENTS AND LET THEM DO SOME OF THAT RESEARCH TO YOU COULD GET A FEW FROM THAT. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU.

IF YOU'RE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE EVENT, IT IS VERY UNIQUE IDEA OF TAKING FINE ART OF LOCAL ARTISTS AND FINDING FLORIST THAT WILL. DEPICT THAT ART IN

[01:20:08]

WHOEVER WINS GETS FREE ADVERTISING THROUGH HER CRAIG FOR THE YEAR, SO IT'S KIND OF FEELING. UM. AS I SAID, THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO PROMOTE MCKINNEY'S UNIQUE BY NATURE.

LOGA SLOGAN, AND WE ALSO WAS VERY INTERESTING THAT THIS EVENT WAS COPIED IN FRISCO. UH BECAUSE THEY HAD SEEN THIS EVENT IN THE KIDNEY, SO THAT'S KIND OF A GREAT THING. AND WHAT THE MCKINNEY GARDEN CLUB REALLY WOULD LIKE TO DO. IS, UH REALLY? MAKE THIS EVENT MORE MORE PROMINENT, YOU KNOW, TO GET TO GET MORE PEOPLE THERE TO GET THEM TO THE HER CRAIG CENTER TO THE DOWNTOWN AREA, AND I THINK IN THE PAST BECAUSE WE'VE HAD A LOT OF SUCCESS WITH OUR HOME AND GARDEN TOUR IN DOING THAT WE CAN HELP. IN THIS EFFORT. UM, AND THAT'S BASICALLY IT. THANKS FOR YOUR FEW MINUTES THAT I GOT. I DID WANT TO SHOW YOU ONE OF THE POSTERS THAT WE DIDN'T GET ON THE POWER POINT. A BEAUTIFUL ADVERTISING. THAT WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST. SO GRAND FOR QUESTIONS. AS BEST I CAN, JIM GUTHRIE STAINING ON THE POSTER AND BEGINNING. I'M SORRY. I WAS JUST WONDERED IF THE PAINTING WAS KIM GOT THREE. IT LOOKS LIKE HER STUFF. YOU KNOW? I DON'T KNOW. THESE ARE ALL THIS IS OUR FIRST YEAR, TONTO. BE A PART OF THIS. YES, IT IS. WOW. IT IS INSURANCE. YES, THERE'S A LOT OF LOCAL ARTISTS. IT IS FINE ART, AND THERE'S NO PROBLEMS. REALLY THAT I CAN FORSEE WITH A COVE IT IF YOU HAVE IT LAST TILL SEPTEMBER BECAUSE THIS IS JUST AN EVENT THAT'S OPEN. FOR TWO DAYS, AND IT'S VERY LIMITED THAN THE KINDERGARTEN CLUB WOULD DOSE AND THE EVENTS AND MONITOR HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE IN THIS BASIC THAT WAS NEEDED. ANYWAY THAT THIS IS THAT THE SAME WEEKEND? IT'S OCTOBERFEST THAT'S OFTEN AROUND. THEN WE CHECKED THE CALENDAR BEFORE WE SET THAT DATE. SO I'M I'M NOT FAMILIAR WHEN OCTOBER FEST IS, BUT I WOULD I WOULD THINK THAT WE AVOIDED THAT. WE CAN DOUBLE CHECK WHICH I WILL DO. AND, UM DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE ATTENDANCE WOZ FOR THIS EVENT? WHAT IT'S BEEN IN THE PAST NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO COME TO SEE THE ART FLORAL? YEAH, OVER THE YEARS. THERE HAVE BEEN THEY'VE STARTED WITH A LARGER AMOUNT OF DAYS TO DO IT AND REALIZE THAT THAT WAS NOT VERY EFFECTIVE BECAUSE FLORAL DESIGNS STARTED TO HIT DETERIORATE. SO THEY HAVE SHORTENED IT AS THE YEARS HAVE GONE BY. GREAT. YEAH EXACTLY ON LEE. WHERE'S OF ITS FLOWERS, BUT THEY HAVE. MADE IT DOWN TO TWO DAYS. SO WHAT SHE TOLD ME WAS THIS IS ABOUT 100 PER DAY. S O. AND YOU KNOW THE GENERAL SENSE THAT'S KIND OF WHAT THEY HAVE LOOKED AT, SO IT'S OUR INTENTION OF USING AS THEY MAKE ANY GARDEN CLUB BECAUSE, OF COURSE WE LEFT WORLD DESIGNED TO TAKE. SOME OF THE PUBLICITY THAT THEY'VE USED IN THE PAST AND BEEF IT UP A LITTLE BIT AND USE DOWNTOWN MERCHANTS AS TICKET VENDORS, WHICH WE HAVE ALWAYS DONE EVERY YEAR. AND UH, YOU KNOW, SEE IF WE CAN GET MORE PEOPLE MORE INTEREST IN THE EVENT. S O THAT WE GET MORE PEOPLE INTO THE TOWN. AND YOU KNOW, THESE ARTISTS CAN SHOW

[01:25:01]

11 PAPERS. MY QUESTION IS, IF IT'S MAYBE MORE APPROPRIATE THAT THIS GO IN THE SECOND ROUND, GIVEN THAT IT'S CLOSER TO THE EVENT DATE. WE'RE NOT OVER SUBSCRIBED FOR THIS ROUND, SO IT'S NOT A HUGE DEAL, BUT. SHOULD BE. MAYBE THINK ABOUT HAVING THEM REAPPLY AND MAY BORN ACTION WOULDN'T TAKE PLACE UNTIL JULY, SO IT LIMITS THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO AMOUNT. ACTUALLY, WHEN I BROUGHT UP OCTOBER? YES I WAS THINKING OF IT AS AN OPPORTUNITY ON I'M KIND OF A BROKEN RECORD UP HERE ON THIS, BUT I JUST KEEP SAYING IT REALLY, REALLY, REALLY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ANYTHING THAT MEANS STREET IS DOING IN AND AROUND THAT TIME AND NOT ONLY THAT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF MAIN STREET AND THE ARTS COMMUNITY THAT THE DEVELOPING IN APRIL. WITH THE ARTS AND BLOOM EVENT TO SORT OF BE PART OF THAT TEAM, IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN AND USE THEIR SOCIAL MEDIA FOLLOWING TO PREVENT. AMY AND ANDREW SO WILLING ON THEIR WHOLE TEAM. THEY'RE SO WILLING TO CROSS PROMOTE AND USE A VERY, VERY LARGE FACEBOOK FOLLOWING X'S FREE ADVERTISING. AND YOU PROBABLY KNOW THAT ALREADY, BUT I WOULD JUST YOU WRITE IN THERE AND. YOU GOTTA ASK. YEAH. NO, YOU CAN GIVE ME ANY INFORMATION.

ANY SUGGESTIONS? I'M TOTALLY UP FROM THIS IS OUR FIRST ENDEAVOR AND IN THIS PARTICULAR WAY, SO IF OCTOBERFEST IS THAT WEEKEND, I MEAN. PEOPLE GONNA BE LOOKING FOR STUFF TO DO WHILE THEY'RE WAITING FOR AN HOUR AND A HALF FOR BEER, SO. HOPEFULLY THAT IT COULD BE THAT KIND OF AN EVENT.

BUT SO. RIGHT, AND I'M GOING. I THINK IT'S A REALLY COOL IDEA. IT IS A REALLY FUN IDEA. AND KAREN TO PANIC WANTED TO BE HERE TODAY, BUT SHE WOKE UP WITH A HEAD COLD, SO DECIDED THAT THAT PROBABLY WASN'T THE BEST IDEA TO COME, SO SHE WANTED TO BE ABLE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS THAT I MIGHT NOT HAVE.

AND THIS ALSO WOULD COVER ALL OF OUR SUMMER PROGRAMMING. THREE MUSIC FOR MUSICALS INTO STAGE PLAYS. IT'S ONLY 50% OF OUR MARKETING BUDGET BECAUSE THE OTHER 50% GOES TOWARDS THE SCHOOL ITSELF WITH OUR CONSERVATORY IN HOME SCHOOL PROGRAMS, IT DOES COVER ABOUT 100% OF THE PRODUCTION MARKETING. AND AS WE'VE GROWN, WE'VE GOTTEN BETTER AT MARKETING AND NOTING HOW TO UTILIZE THOSE RESOURCES AND WHAT WORKS AND WHAT DOESN'T AND OUR SHOWS CONTINUE TO SELL OUT

I REALLY LIKED IT, AND I ENJOYED IT.

I'LL OPEN FOR ANY QUESTIONS. SO IT'S GOOD. THESE AIR OUTDOOR THEY'RE GONNA BE IN MITCHELL PARK. SOME OF THEM KNOW THE ORIGINAL SHAKESPEARE IN THE PARK LAST YEAR. THE PLAN WAS THAT MITCHELL PARK WE ACTUALLY IN OUR NEW LOCATION. WE HAVE OUTDOOR SPACE AVAILABLE THAT LAST PRODUCTION THAT YOU SAW THERE OF INTO THE WOODS. WE DID OUTDOORS ON OUR AT OUR NEW LOCATION. BUT WE ARE LOOKING TO UTILIZE OTHER PARKS AS WELL. FOR SOME OF THEM. WE ARE NEXT THREE PRODUCTIONS ALL TAKE PLACE AT THE MCKINNEY PERFORMING ARTS CENTER, SO IT JUST KIND OF DEPENDS ON AVAILABILITY OF THE FACILITIES. WE DO HAVE OUR OWN SPACE NOW THAT WE CAN USE, BUT WE ALSO LIKE TO STILL UTILIZE THE RESOURCE IS WITHIN THE CITY.

ARE THE OUTDOOR EVENTS. I'M SORRY. I'M JUST CONFUSED. SOME OF THEM. YES SO IT DEPENDS ON THE SHOW. SO RIGHT NOW WE'RE DOING FROZEN CARRION SIDESHOW AT THE MCKINNEY PERFORMING ARTS CENTER. THEN WE'RE DOING DESCENDANTS AT OUR FACILITY OUTSIDE AND THEN SO IT DEPENDS ON THE NATURE OF THE SHOW. SO WE'RE LOOKING THE SUMMER OUR BOARD IS ACTUALLY DECIDING THE LINEUP THIS AT OUR NEXT BOARD MEETING. THAT WE'RE IF WE'RE DOING SHREK AS ONE OF THE YOUNG AUDIENCE SHOWS THAT ONE OF THE JUNIOR SHOWS THAT WOULD BE OUTSIDE, BUT THEN SOME OF THE OTHER SHOWS IF THEY'RE NOT CONDUCIVE TO WORKING IN AN OUTDOOR ATMOSPHERE, WE CAN STILL UTILIZE THE IMPACT BECAUSE IT CAN STILL WITH THE REDUCED SEATING.

WE'RE ADVERTISING AND PRINT MAGAZINES WITH LIMITED MAD READERSHIP ON THE DIGITAL BILLBOARD ON 75. HERE'S SOME EXAMPLES OF PAST PRINT ADS. LAST YEAR DUE TO COVETED WE HAD TO TRANSITION TO A VIRTUAL EVENT, WITH THE BALL PICK UP EVENT PROMISED AT A FUTURE DATE. HERE. SOME EXAMPLES OF OURSELVES OF SOCIAL MEDIA AD. USUALLY OUR EVENT IS HELD DOWNTOWN AT THE IMPACT AND IN THE MIDDLE OF KENTUCKY STREET, AND IN 2019. WE HAD 850 ATTENDEES AND ABOUT 25% OF THEM WERE VISITORS TO THE CITY. LAST YEAR EVENT WAS VIRTUAL, SO WE HAD NO ATTENDEES, BUT OUR 28% OF OUR DONATIONS WERE FROM VISITORS, SO WE ARE REACHING OUTSIDE. THESE PICTURES ARE FROM OUR BULL PICKUP EVENT THAT WE HELD IN AT ST PETERS IN JULY. FOR TICKET PURCHASERS. 2021 WHERE, UH, WE PLAN TO BE BACK AND DOWNTOWN MCKINNEY AND WE'RE GOING TO MOVE THE RESTAURANTS OUTSIDE ON THE BOWL'S INSIDE. MAKE IT A SAFER EVENT DID YOU COVET? WE WILL ALSO LIMIT OUR TICKET PURCHASE OUR TICKET SALES FOR SMALLER CROWD TO ALLOW FOR SOCIAL DISTANCING. YOU CAN SEE OUR EVENT BUDGET. WE'RE PROJECTING TOTAL INCOME OF 73 5 WITH 31,000 EXPENSES. WE HAVE A NET INCOME OF ABOUT 42,000. 100% OF THAT WILL BE GIVEN TO OUR EVENT BENEFICIARIES, COMMUNITY LIFELINES CENTER AND COMMUNITY GARDEN KITCHEN. SO I HOPE TO SEE YOU ON APRIL 29TH 2021 FROM 6 TO 8 AT THE MCKINNEY

[01:40:04]

WE HAD ALREADY BEGUN THE RAMP UP TO THE EVENT BECAUSE IN ORDER TO HAVE 1000 HANDMADE BOWLS THAT ALL HAS TO TAKE PLACE AHEAD OF TIME, SO WE ALREADY HAD ALL OF OUR BOWLS IN PLACE. OLIVER OXEN BULLS IN PLACE. WE'D ALREADY BEGAN THE ADVERTISING AND WHEN COVERED, HIT AND WE HAD TO GO VIRTUAL. I OFFERED REFUNDS TO PEOPLE WHO HAD ALREADY BOUGHT A TICKET AND ONLY FOR PEOPLE ASKED FOR REFUNDS. PEOPLE CONTINUE TO BUY TICKETS TO THE EVENT AS A DONATION. OUR DONATIONS WENT UP LAST YEAR. THE SPONSORS WERE GREAT, SO WE'RE REALLY, REALLY BLESSED AND SINCE OUR EVENT EXPENSES. WE'RE SO LOW. UM WE GAVE $61,000 TO COMMUNITY LIFELINE CENTER LAST YEAR, WHICH WAS AWAY WHEN WE NEVER GIVEN HIM SO. WENT WELL, BUT WE'D RATHER HAVE IT IN PERSON. YOU KNOW, IT'S THE SAME QUESTION THAT I HAD TO PAY ME EARLIER, LIKE DID YOU CONSIDER MOVING THE DATE? GIVEN THAT WAY, MAYBE OR HOPING UM BIRTH.

IT'S HARD TO CHANGE. WELL, WE'RE KIND OF IN A CYCLE. WITH THE ARTWORK AND THE ARTIST AND ALL THAT. SO WE'RE HOPING, THOUGH, BY BEING WHERE THE VERY END OF APRIL WE'RE HOPING SOME OF THAT HERD IMMUNITY WILL BE COMING INTO PLACE. WE ALSO HAVE TO WORK WITH IMPACT AND BEING ABLE TO SCHEDULE WITH THEM. BUT WE ARE. WE'RE GONNA FLIP IT UP. WE'RE GONNA PUT ALL THE RESTAURANTS OUTSIDE AND THE BULLS INSIDE. AND WE'RE WORKING WITH IMPACT TO GET WRITE NUMBERS. SO THAT WE CAN HAVE A SAFE EVENT FOR EVERYBODY, SO IT'LL BE SMALLER. BUT HOPEFULLY IN PERSON. WELL, AND I JUST REALLY APPRECIATE THEIR GREAT CLEAN PRESENTATION THAT YOU GAVE REALLY WONDERFUL DETAIL TO THE BREAK OUT OF YOUR BUDGET. DETAILS ON DO YOU'VE DONE A GREAT JOB?

TAKE CARE OF IT. WELL. WE'RE TARGETING A MUCH SMALLER, PROBABLY 600. PEOPLE AUDIENCE. WE HAVE BOWLS LEFT OVER FROM LAST YEAR, BUT I'VE ALREADY GOT THE ARTIST WORKING. UM. PART OF OUR ACTIVITIES, BOWL, MAKING WORKSHOPS WITH PEOPLE, AND SO THEY WERE GONNA HAVE FEWER THOSE WITH FEWER PEOPLE AND THEM. SO THE NUMBER OF BULLS WE'RE TRYING TO GET TO THIS YEAR SMALLER.

[01:45:09]

GRANT FROM THEM, AND WE'RE WORKING ON THAT. IT'S PROM ARE PRIMARILY FOCUSED ON GETTING THE STORY'S KIND OF THE CONTENT OF HOTELS AND ADDING THAT TO THE COMMUNITY AS WELL. ONDAS PART OF THIS GRAND. WHAT WE REALLY WANT TO DO IS WRAP THAT AROUND FIVE EVENTS NEXT YEAR AND EACH ONE OF THOSE VENTS. WHAT WE ANTICIPATE DOING THIS PAIRING WITH THE PHYSICAL EVENTS WE LOVE TO WORK WITH. SOME OF THE OTHER PARTICIPANTS ARE THE APPLICANTS THAT TALK TODAY, TOO. KIND OF WRAPPED AROUND WHAT THEY'RE DOING YOU PRIOR AND BEFORE TO CONNECT THE COMMUNITY AND REALLY HAVE MORE OF A COMMUNITY DRIVEN WAY WHERE PEOPLE SEE WHAT'S GOING ON. SO, FOR INSTANCE, IF THERE'S A BEER WALK OR TH YOU KNOW, THE. ARTS IN BLOOM. PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY VISITORS CAN COME AND SEE WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON IN THE COMMUNITY AND THAT THEY CAN'T FIND THAT SOMETIMES IT'S HARD TO FIND THAT INFORMATION. WE WANT THAT TO BE FOREFRONT.

OUR MARKETING IN OUR ADVERTISING. AND THAT'S REALLY WHAT WE WANT TO FOCUS ON REALLY IS HAVING YOU KNOW EACH VENUE, FOR INSTANCE, FOR A SPECIFIC EVENT TO BE ABLE TO TELL HER STORY AND HAVE THAT FOREFRONT IN OUR MARKETING AND THEN, OF COURSE, THEN THEN BE ABLE TO PROMOTE CROSS PROMOTE OR COOP MARKET AS WELL. BUSINESS TO TELL THEIR STORIES. ALSO THE CVI BE THIS. YOU KNOW THE M C, D. C. THE CITY ALL THOSE DIFFERENT PLAYERS THAT MAKE OUR COMMUNITY FANTASTIC. THEY CAN TELL THEIR STORIES, AND THAT COULD BE REALLY FOREFRONT IN OUR MARKETING AS WELL. THEN, OF COURSE, WRAPPED IT AROUND THAT WENT WELL, TOO FAST WRAP THAT AROUND AUGMENTED REALITY EXPERIENCES. OBVIOUSLY, THAT COULD BE, UM. A LOT OF THINGS THAT SOME OF THE FUN THINGS YOU SEE THERE. WE'VE DONE A LITTLE FUN ONES KIND OF GET PEOPLE TO COME DOWN AND BE HIM. WE'VE WORKED WITH WITH AMY DOWNTOWN AS WELL TO BUILD A LITTLE HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS EXPERIENCE. TO WRAP ALL THAT TOGETHER. UM THAT'S REALLY WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON. I'LL SEND FOR QUESTIONS. YOU MENTIONED YOU A PLOT WITH CB WITH VISITORS.

BILL. HOW MUCH DID YOU REQUEST FROM? I'M SORRY. YOU SAY YOU HAD APPLIED WITH THE VISITORS BUREAU. DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH YOU REQUESTED FROM THEM? WE REQUESTED 15. WE RECEIVED FIVE.

DO WAS HERE. LAST SLIDE TO THAT. SORRY THERE. YES, THERE'S SOMETHING I REALLY WANT TO SEE THE EXAMPLES. I'M STILL TRYING TO SHARE THAT CHUCK HERE, NOT A PROBLEM. WAY DID A LITTLE VIRTUAL DOWNTOWN EXPERIENCE ON BEER TIME THAT WITH HOTELS AND THEN WE'RE ALSO WE DID YOU KNOW SOME PLACE TO VISIT THE LIGHTS. WE TIED THAT WITH SOME OF THE HISTORY AS WELL, DOWNTOWN. WE WANT TO DO MORE OF THAT. I'M GOING INTO 2021. ARE THE EVENTS. NEXT YEAR. ARE THEY NOTIONAL AT THIS POINT? ARE THEY SPECIFIC? DO YOU HAVE DATES WE DON'T GET WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS WE WANT TO WORK WITH LIKE SPG. WE WANNA WORK WITH SOME OF THE OTHER APPLICANTS AND KIND OF PAIR THOSE WITH HIM. ON. IN A MONTH AND SO ON, AND YOU'RE ASKING US FOR FUNDING TO PROMOTE WHAT. WHAT THEIR FUNDING IS. WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS WE WANT TO CAPTURE APPROXIMATELY 10 EXPERIENCES EACH FOR EACH EVENT AND HAVE THAT BE KIND OF PART OF OUR MARKETING. ALSO, WE WILL BE DOING ADVERTISING AND SPONSORSHIPS THROUGH THAT. BOND SO THAT YOU KNOW, FOR INSTANCE, LIKE IF, IF YOU DO LIKE A DOWNTOWN LIKE MINE WALK OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, OBVIOUSLY, THOSE THOSE BUSINESSES WILL HAVE OBVIOUSLY YOU KNOW THAT WELL, I DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO COME IN AND OBVIOUSLY TASTE WINE AND THIN YOU WANT TO DO PROMOTION OR KIND OF WELCOME BUDDIES OR WHY THEY WHY THEY'RE DOING BUSINESS AND MCKINNEY AND YOU ALMOST LIKE A SHOWCASE OR SPOTLIGHT FOR EACH ONE OF THOSE BUSINESSES AND

[01:50:03]

SPENDING THE SPENDING THAT THEY CREATE WHEN THEY'RE VISITING. ANDRE HOW BIG IS THE IMPACT IN TERMS OF VISITORS? I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS COVERT TIME AND WE HAVE TO PIVOT. WE HAVE TO THINK VIRTUALLY IN A LOT OF RESPECTS, BUT, UM. DOESN'T SEEM AT ALL LIKE. YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY YOU'RE NOT CREATING ANY. TRAFFIC MAYBE YOU'RE MAYBE YOU'RE INCREASING TRAFFIC FOR SOME OF THOSE EVENT INCREASE. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I JUST HAVE A HARD TIME GETTING GETTING MY HEAD AROUND. HOW THAT JIBES WITH THE INTENT OF THE PROMOTIONAL GRANTS AS WELL. THEY'RE LIKE A PARTNER. THAT SUPER CHARGES FIVE OTHER EVENTS. YEAH, YEAH, AT AND TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT WHAT THE BENEFITS WOULD BE TO THE NOT FOR PROFITS THAT YOU WOULD BE FEATURING IN THESE VIDEOS AND HOW THAT WOULD BENEFIT ANY OF THEIR EVERT. SURE I SEE 22 HUGE BENEFITS. ONE IS FOR THOSE THAT MAY NOT WANT TO VISIT MCKINNEY OR THEY'RE LIKE, YOU KNOW, MAYBE THEY'RE A LITTLE STANDOFFISH AS FAR AS COVERT. OBVIOUSLY, THAT MAY CHANGE HOPEFULLY AND YOU KNOW, AS WE GO INTO 2021. BILL JUST KIND OF SEE WHAT THOSE EVENTS ARE. SEE WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON? MAYBE THEY DON'T WANT TO COME FOR THE ONE WALK. MAYBE THEY WANT TO COME FOR SOME OF THE OT THAT'S PART OF THAT. AND THEN ALSO, WHAT WAS THE SECOND PARTY? YOUR QUESTION? WELL YOU KNOW, JUST TRYING TOMBO AS AS SOMEBODY WHO'S LOOKING AT. WHO THE BENEFICIARIES OF ALL THESE GRANTS, MAYBE AND WHAT THE OUTCOME WILL BE FOR THE CITY. IN TERMS OF VISITORS, THE BENEFITS OF FEATURING NOT FOR PROFITS OR THEIR EVENTS IN THESE VIDEOS I WOULD PERCEIVE TO BE. I'M SORT OF A VALUE ADD SHOOT THOSE ORGANIZATIONS WHO MAY NOT BE ABLE TO HAVE THEIR OWN BUDGETS TO CREATE VIDEOS S. OH, IT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT WAY OF LOOKING AT. DELIVERING BENEFITS TO THOSE NOT FOR PROFITS ON BUT IF A FOR PROFIT COMPANY IS HELPING TO FEATURE EVENTS. OR THE WORKS OF NOT FOR PROFITS. IT IS A VALUE ADD, BUT IT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT WAY OF LOOKING AT THINGS, AND I MAY NOT BE HEARING THIS CORRECTLY. SO THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING. I THINK, YEAH, I THINK YOU'RE SPOT ON. I MEAN, IT REALLY IS A VALUE ADD, AND IT'S K TO KIND OT CONTINUITY OF THE EVENTS RIGHT? SO IT'S MEANT TO AUGMENT AN EXISTING EVENT THAT MAY BE COMING UP AND THEN ALSO, YOU KNOW, AND I HEARD MANY AFRICANS TALK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WE WANT TO DO THIS. WE WANT TO CO SPONSOR. WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO DO IS TO HELP THAT HAPPEN. BUT ALSO BE ABLE TO KIND OF CONNECT THAT WITH THE NEXT EVENT AND THEN BE KIND OF TECHNOLOGY.

GLUE THAT TO CONNECT MANY DIFFERENT EVENTS AND A TIGHT WITH THE HISTORY OF MCKINNEY.

[01:55:02]

YOU KNOW, TO USE THAT JUST FOR THAT SPECIFIC EVENT? YES BUT YOU CAN ALSO USE THAT FOR THE NEXT EVENT COMING UP, OR MAYBE EVEN MORE. THE HISTORY ELEMENT OF WAR OF THE. TO THIS BODY OF EXPERIENCES THAT. BRING MORE AND MORE PEOPLE INTO MCKINNEY TO VISIT JUST TO SPEND MONEY AND TO SUPPORT BUSINESSES. BRING TO THE TABLE FOLLOWING BEING LIKE. PART OF IT IS CONTENT CONTENT CREATION THAT SHARE A BOWL AND THAT TRIP COULD STUFF. THE FOLLOWING OR THAT THE AUDIENCE IS STILL THE AUDIENCE THAT THE EVENT HOLDER HAS. YES YOU ALSO HAVE AN AUDIENCE OF YOUR OWN THAT YOU'RE ADDING TO IT. WE'RE BUILDING THAT. OBVIOUSLY IT'S A LOT EASIER TO DO WITH, YOU KNOW, A PHYSICAL EVENT. WE ARE BUILDING THAT. YOU KNOW THAT'S THAT'S THAT'S SOMETHING THAT TAKES TIME. HONESTLY I THINK THAT'S PART OF THAT. THAT'S I THINK THAT ADDS ADDITIONAL BENEFIT. WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT THE HISTORY OF MCKINNEY. AND WHAT MAKES ME KENNY GRADE AND ALL THOSE THINGS ARE FANTASTIC, BUT I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT. UM, TO BRING IN SOME OF THE YOUNGER GENERATIONS OF SOME OF THOSE, YOU KNOW, THE YOUNGER. FOLKS THAT MAY SEE THINGS LITTLE BIT. I WANT TO SEE THINGS A LITTLE DIFFERENT A LITTLE BIT OF A TEASER OF WHAT'S GONNA YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE COMMUNITY. SOMETIMES IT'S HARD TO FIND ALL THE THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON. WE WANT TO KIND OF CHANGE THAT A LITTLE BIT. SO HAVE YOU DONE THIS YET? WITH ANOTHER EVENT WITH YOU? YOU HAVE AN EXAMPLE. LIKE CAN WE GO TO A WEBSITE AND LOOKING SOMETHING? YEAH WAY LITERALLY JUST STARTED IT WHEN WE STARTED THIS ABOUT THREE MONTHS AGO, AT LEAST THE. EVENT SIDE AND THEN WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH AMY WOULDN'T WORK MISSY BB TO CREATE A KIND OF MINI VERSION FOR, YOU KNOW, KIND OF A VIRTUAL HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS. SO WE HAVE IT OUT RIGHT NOW. OBVIOUSLY, WE'RE STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF TRENDED. YOU KNOW? HAD MORE CONTENT. AND LIKE YOU SAID, FOLLOWERS S O B THAT YOU GO OUT TO THE THING. LET'S SEE YOUR ALFA VIRTUAL HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS. SORRY. LET'S SEE.

WHERE DO WE GO FOR THAT? RIGHT? JUST GO TO MUSIC SCHOOL RIGHT HERE. TONTO MCKINNEY, A VIRTUAL TOWN TOURS. CAN I CLICK ON IT HERE FIRST, THEN SOMEBODY CLICK ON IT THAT HAS THAT. AND THEN AT THE BOTTOM. RIGHT BOTTOM LEFT CORNER. YOU CAN SEE THE LITTLE HOLIDAY HOLIDAY HUNT PTT AND CLICK ON THAT BIG RED LOOKING DISC THING. THIS IS WHAT WE DID, WHERE WE WENT, ACTUALLY DID SOME ANIMATIONS. WE DID A LITTLE HOLIDAY SCAVENGER HUNT ON AND THEN WE CAPTURED ALMOST ALL OF DOWNTOWN AS WELL. AND OBVIOUSLY WE CONNECTED THAT WITH A COUPLE BUSINESSES ALREADY. WE'RE EXPANDING THAT AND SEE RIB. IT'S A VIDEO CONSTANT, FULL 3 60 VIDEO CONTENT. AND THEN IF YOU CLICK IN THERE, YOU CAN ALSO SEE SOME OF THE ACTUAL SPONSOR'S. WE'VE ALREADY ARE BASICALLY WALK AROUND DOWNTOWN WITH MY IPHONE, TRENT. THANKS HERE'S SOME OF THE ADVERTISERS KEEP DOWN. SO THE KITTY IS CONTRIBUTING. ALSO A COUPLE OF REAL ESTATE AGENTS BECAUSE SOME OF THE WAYS THAT WE'RE BE COLLECTING. SO HOW DO PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THIS? BEEN ADVERTISING WITH AMY. WE'VE BEEN ADVERTISING THROUGH FACEBOOK AND INSTAGRAM ON AMY'S FACEBOOK. WELL, COLD MARCH YOUR HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS AFTER WHATEVER THAT IS. I'M SORRY. WONDERING HOW YOU KNOW, LIKE WE'VE BEEN TRYING GET THAT WORD OUT, RIGHT? WE'VE BEEN MARKETING THROUGH THEM. YOU KNOW, THIS. CBS HELPED BIN.

PROMOTING US WELL ON THEIR FACEBOOK PAGE. WE'VE BEEN DOING THAT ON BEN, OF COURSE, THROUGH DOWNTOWN AND THROUGH OUR OWN. ADS AND THINGS LIKE THAT GIVEAWAYS FOR HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS. WHAT IS YOUR CURRENT FOOTPRINT ON YOUR APP IS FAR USAGE RIGHT NOW. I MEAN, LITERALLY. WE JUST RELEASED THIS LIKE A WEEK AND A HALF AGO. SO ON THIS, UM HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS. REALLY WE ONLY GOT ABOUT 400 PEOPLE VISITING THIS THIS LITTLE HOLIDAY ON THROUGH THE SCAVENGER RUNS. LOOK TO THE ACTUAL METRICS FOR EVERYTHING ELSE, BUT WE HAVE THIS. WE'VE DONE EVERY CORNER. HERE WE DONE. DIFFERENT PIECES DOWNTOWN. UM. DIFFERENT CORNERS.

ALSO WE'VE DONE TWO OR THREE OF THE HOTELS AND WE'RE ADDING MORE OF THOSE, AND WE'VE ALSO WE'VE WORKED WITH CHESTON SQUARE WHERE WE DID PART OF THEIR HOLIDAY HOME TOUR. MOST WALK AS WELL. SO WE'RE JUST KIND OF TRYING TO TIE ALL THOSE TOGETHER. COMMUNITY STANDPOINT.

THEY HAVE AN ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY. AND SO THEY THEY HAD THIS ALREADY BUILT. THEY WOULDN'T CARE ABOUT. YOU KNOW, BUILDING IT, INVESTING THAT THEY JUST COOPERATE IT. THAT'S THEIR PRIMARY FOCUS, WHICH IS REALLY REFRESHING. BECAUSE AS YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU'RE A DEVELOPER, YOU DEVELOP A PROPERTY, GREAT VALUE AND SELLING ON THE CAPITAL MARKET.

THAT WILL NOT BE HAPPENING HERE. YOU NEVER SAY NEVER. BUT THE REALITY IS THEIR INTEREST IS IN OPERATIONS, AND THEY HAVE A COMPANY BASED AROUND THAT HAVE EXPERIENCE AROUND THAT AND THE PEOPLE THAT. KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING. SO THIS IS NOT WHAT YOU SEE OUT THERE. BUT ONE OF THE CRITICAL COMPONENTS IS IT'S A BIGGER DEVELOPMENT. AND I THINK NOT SPEAK FOR THE LANDOWNER. BUT THERE'S PLANS TO TALK ABOUT SOME OFFICE USES GREAT AND JOBS AND SOMETHING

[02:20:04]

YEAH, I THINK THE. BIGGEST DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS REQUEST, AND THE OTHERS THAT WE GET IS THAT IS THE ACTIVE MANAGEMENT OF THE PROGRAMMING, RIGHT? I THINK THAT'S VERY ATTRACTIVE THAT THESE GUYS CLEARLY KNOW HOW TO DO THIS. THEY KNOW HOW TO BRING PROGRAMMING IN AND KEEP IT GOING. A LOT OF TIMES WE SEE THESE SPACES. IT'S KIND OF PASSIVELY PROGRAMMED. JUST PEOPLE WILL JUST KIND OF MILL ABOUT. THERE'S NOT A LOT GOING ON. MAYBE ON THE WEEKENDS.

THERE'S A BAND OR TWO. I REALLY APPRECIATE IT. I REALLY LIKE THE. CONSISTENT COMMITMENT TO REGULAR PROGRAMMING. AND I THINK THAT. WE NEED TO SEE THAT IN MORE OF THESE SPACES THAT EVERYBODY WANTS TO DO. YEAH, DEFINITELY VERY UNIQUE PROJECT AND DIFFERENT. I COULD TELL YOU'RE EVERYBODY'S ASKING. PUT ONE OF THESE IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. IT'S HE'S KIND OF OVERWHELMED WITH THAT. IS VERY SPECIFIC TO HIS NEEDS. HE'S LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW THE FAMILY ATMOSPHERE. THAT'S REALLY REALLY, BUT I CAN'T SAY THAT ENOUGH BECAUSE YOU KNOW, SOME PEOPLE HAVE THIS IDEA THAT IT'S JUST GONNA BE A BIG PARTY PLAY. IT IS NOT IT IS. IT'S DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY, MUSIC WILL BE LOUD. IT'S DESIGNED FOR THE DEMOGRAPHIC WITHERS, FAMILIES AND YOUTH, AND IT'S DESIGNED TO INTEGRATE THE COMMUNITY'S NEEDS INTO IT. THE NONPROFITS, THEY WILL HAVE A LOT OF DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES FOR THOSE KIND OF USES. WE DID LEARN JUST FOR THE OTHER BOARD MEMBERS IN THE PREVIOUS MEETINGS THAT. HE DIDN'T RUSH INTO THIS. HE'S HAD THE HELP FOR A WHILE, AND IT'S BEEN A LEARNING CURVE. I THINK, EVEN ON THE OPERATIONS AND THE PROGRAMMING, AND HE'S LEARNED A LOT AND NOW FEELS READY TO GO ON. WAS SOMETHING SIMILAR IN THE BEGINNING, AND HE'S HERE. THAT PLAN. MODEL. IT. YEAH, WITH THIS TIMELINE WOULD JUST BE THE FIRST ONE IN DALLAS. WELL, YOU KNOW, I'M NOT GOING TO STEP OUT OFF THAT BOARD LIKE A NAUTICAL, RECENTLY DEAD. YOU KNOW IT. THIS SIDE IS READY TO GO. FOR THE MOST PART. ANDRE RESIDENTIAL. THAT'S IT IS THERE I WOULD SAY THERE'S NOT MUCH HOLDING THIS UP TO BE POTENTIALLY THE FIRST ONE OPENED. I THINK THAT THE DESIRES THERE TO GET MOVING. I THINK THE PARTNERSHIPS ARE THERE OF THE DESIGN IS THERE IT'S PERFECTED. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF GETTING THROUGH THIS. THERE'S STILL SOME. YOU CAN'T GLOSS OVER TODAY WITH THE CHALLENGES OF COVERT 19 THE FINANCIAL MARKETS OF DRIED UP THEIR RESTAURANTS AND RETAIL.

YOU KNOW, THEY'RE JUST NOT DOING THAT WAS VERY UNIQUE THAT SOMEBODY IS ACTUALLY DOING THIS IN TODAY'S CLIMATE RIGHT NOW, AND HE'S READY TO GO WITH THAT. JUST. OLD CROSS COMMITTEES AND DOTTING THE I'S. A FEW LITTLE DETAILS LEFT. YOU HAD SOME EXPERIENCE WITH GROWING UP IN A WAY. YEAH, BUT HE DOES NOT WANT TO HURRY UP AND WAIT. HE DOESN'T HAVE THAT LUXURY AND IN FACT, IT'S A NEGATIVE IF HE WAITS TOO MUCH BECAUSE HE'S GOT TOO MANY OTHER PROJECTS THAT ARE COULD BE IN THE PIPELINE AND. I THINK I KNOW MY KIDNEY HAS BEEN VERY I GUESS. SAY VERY AGGRESSIVE AND GREAT TO WORK WITH. THE STAFF HAS BEEN WONDERFUL INTERACTIONS HE LOVES.

THAT S SO IT'S REALLY NO HOLD UPS. I THINK IT'S JUST A MATTER OF GETTING IT ALL THAT. TALK TO THE PARKS DEPARTMENT. THEM WHEN WE ASKED ABOUT THE PARKING THERE'S. PLENTY OF PARKING THERE ON THE WEST SIDE, BUT. THINK THE TERMINUS OF ONE OF THE CONNECTED TRAILS IN THE CITY COMES IN. IT'S CLOSE. I THINK IT'S RIGHT OFF ON THE RIGHT. I LOOKED AT THAT BECAUSE I WAS THINKING, YOU KNOW, TALKS WITH THE PARKS DEPARTMENT, NOT JUST IN CONNECTING THE TRAILS TO THAT AREA, BUT ALSO IN. POSSIBILITIES AND PROGRAMMING. WE HAVEN'T GOT IN DEPTH WITH THEM YET, BUT THAT DOESN'T NEED TO HAPPEN. AND WE ALSO PRESENTED TO THE H A WAY THAT WE DIDN'T ASK THEM FOR ANYTHING BECAUSE THERE'S REALLY NOTHING ASKED FOR IT NOW, BUT I TOLD THEM TO CONSIDER WHAT YOUR NEEDS IS. THERE IS A BENEFICIAL TO CONNECT SOME OUT ACROSS THE FLOOD, PLAIN OR THE GREEN SPACE THERE. YOU KNOW, I ALWAYS ENCOURAGE. YOU HAVE TO GET IN THE CAR TO GO AROUND. IT'S BETTER TO. IT'S AN AMENITY. SO IT'S A GREAT POINT AND WE DO NEED TO HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS BECAUSE THERE'S OTHER EVENTS I'M THINKING ABOUT LIKE EASTER EGG GUNS. THEY PROGRAMMING FROM THE PARKS AND REC. AND IF I COULD TELL YOU WHAT'S REALLY NEAT ABOUT THIS PROJECT IS THE DEVELOPER IS VERY HUNGRY FOR THAT. THEY WANT

[02:25:03]

WAS IMPRESSED THAT YOU BROUGHT THE STONE BRIDGE GUYS OUT. I THINK THAT CAN BE A TOUGH CROWD. AND SO YOU KNOW, ON THE H AWAY, GEORGE SAYS. GEORGES TOLD ME MR MAYOR HAS TOLD ME THAT THE STONE BRIDGE H AWAY, PRESIDENT SAYS, QUOTE. WE WERE VERY IMPRESSED AND THINK IT WOULD BE A GREAT ADDITION FROM A KIDNEY. SO YOU GET THE BUY IN FROM THOSE GUYS WHEN YOU'RE RIGHT ON THEIR FRONT DOORSTEP. I THINK. ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT COMMUNITY. INTERACTION OR PROBABLY RESULT. HE SAY. IF MY SITUATIONS YOU'RE GOING UP, BUT WHEN WE APPROACH THEM, IT REALLY WAS NOT WAY WANTED THEIR APPROVAL. BUT WE ALSO WANTED THEIR INPUT, AND I STILL THINK WE DO. YOU KNOW THIS? THIS IS BASED ON STONEBRIDGE RANCH. ALSO THE COMMUNITIES FAMILIES THEY'RE USING THIS, SO IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO HAVE THAT OPEN DISCUSSION AND WE OFFERED, YOU KNOW AGAIN. EXCUSE ME. TOM, YOU CAN'T SHE GET NERVOUS HERE THE YOU KNOW WE OFFERED AND ASK THEM. WHAT WHAT ARE YOUR NEEDS? WHAT THINGS? ARE YOU MISSING A STUBBORN GRANTS THAT WE COULD PROGRAM INTO THIS. DID THEY HAVE AN ANSWER TO THAT? THEY GIVE US SOME IDEAS. AND I THINK THAT CONTINUUM FROM COUGHING ANYMORE AND I PUT THIS ON HERE. HMM. YEAH. I'M OUT OF PRACTICE PUBLICLY SPEAKING SO SORRY. MATCH. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. HONEY, THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. SO DO I HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS ON THIS? THINK I'D LIKE TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING IF THERE IS NO COMMENTS, SO MOVED. WE VOTE. JANUARY JANUARY. BEING ONTO 20-11 0 TO CONSIDER IT RIGHT? NO. BETTER DISCUSS ACT ON MY REQUEST FROM THE CITY OF
