chris
good afternoon mr chairman members of
the tidboard chris faber economic
development for the record
so
i have a quick presentation for you
today
i'm just going to do a tip financial
update and then a real quick update of
the current tit projects
so as you can see um for fy 22 beginning
july 1st
tid revenues are up pretty substantially
over last year
you can see the monthly
collections beginning in july
and then you can see year over year that
our arctic collections are up quite a
bit from the past two years um dr
payatis and i have kind of looked into
the data on this and we feel it has to
do with um sort of a delay in tax uh
being submitted from some of the
businesses within the tid so it's just
kind of a delayed
submission of the
that goes into the tid
uh ending december
2021 the fun 2815 revenue and operation
sits at about 5.4 million
fund 4270 which is capital projects
unrestricted sits at about 1.2
and fund
4271 which is restricted bond projects
is about 618 000
for a grand total of about 7.2 million
dollars in the tid
current tid projects there's really only
a couple
campo street redesign study so they're
wrapping that up right now public works
is and they're going to be coming back
in april with a presentation to the tid
board
but just as a reminder moles and corbin
was contracted
last year to do a complete evaluation of
the design of campo street they've made
a recommendation and public works is
going through that process right now
there were a few stakeholder meetings
held in january april and august of last
year and the idea was to make campo
street look and feel more like the rest
of downtown and make it a nice
pass through between the downtown and
the mesquite district
so the next steps for that project
finalize the report
as i mentioned doing a presentation to
the tit board in april
design work to follow which will be
about six to eight months approximately
ten percent of the construction cost
and estimated construction cost is about
three million dollars at this time
parking lot 7 which is the parking lot
behind the rio grande theater
the first phase was completed last fall
and and right now we're just waiting for
the delivery of the restroom facility
there will be a prefabricated facility
that will be
built in place of the restrooms that are
there now they will be demoing those
outdoor restrooms moving this
prefabricated facility closer to la
placita
it will be double in capacity and they
will also be adding
additional lights to the parking lot
area as well as la placita so expecting
the restroom to arrive 30 to 45 days
we will be beginning demolition on that
restroom facility and finishing up the
rest of that parking lot
during that time and then we will be
adding portable restroom facilities to
account for there not being any
restrooms there during construction
and that's the end of the presentation
stand for questions
thanks chris
questions anyone
okay see none you can go to the current
projects update
that was the course
two cover them both okay short and sweet
all right
um any questions on the current projects
update as well
okay
did you cover the uh
i know we were circling back on the
shade
did you
have anything you want to expand on that
i thought that might come up so i went
ahead and added a little bit of
information so what we're doing right
now is we're putting together a
community survey that we'll send out
just trying to gauge people's opinions
on need and design and all those types
of things once we have that survey done
we're also going to do a public meeting
in february in conjunction with that so
hoping to come back
with some better data
at a subsequent tip board meeting so
okay
vice chair thank you um for
chair um thank you chris for the update
i know at one time we had discussed
forming a small subcommittee
is that going to happen and how if folks
are interested might they get a hold of
you if there's interest mr chair uh
board member ganda are you referring to
for the park for the plaza the shade
structure yes we'll be doing that with
with the public meeting so we'll be
inviting stakeholders and community
members and and having them give us some
input
on you know the design and options
related to that
chris no i'm talking very specific to a
subcommittee that mayor agreed um
several months ago to put together
that would that
consisted of
stakeholders
in and around the downtown businesses
people who have interests like the arts
and cultural district the la esperances
those people that are affected i'm not
talking about a public meeting i'm
talking about a subcommittee then that
could go back and hear
all the information and start to make
determinations and recommendations that
would then
um
provide us the board
the feedback
board member gandhara yeah we could
certainly do that as well it was my
understanding that that was going to be
part of the public meetings that we were
doing instead of a a task force or the
ad hoc committee we would be doing the
public meetings and so that was what we
were going to move forward with but we
can certainly look to add another
component to that sure
i mean i don't i don't want to add a
additional layer but i think having
a committee that represents you know the
area and very specific to um getting
that off the ground would be helpful in
in my
in my mind thank you mayor
chair thank you are you talking about
the one when we discussed the arts
council the downtown partners and uh i
think that's one we would that they had
sent a letter asking if they could be
part of the yeah okay yes sir yeah so if
we can make sure that they're involved
or invited to that that would be great
anyone else
in case you are new to the to the tit
board meeting and you wonder who this
gentleman is in the middle
that's and you're thinking did he get
lost commissioner
reynolds no he didn't he's an
ex-official member of our board
years ago when we did this the county
graciously allowed us to have access to
some other funding which is very
difficult to do and so we've extended
that to them and to him and he's been
here ever since it comes uh when we're
when we have a ted board meeting which
is prac basically every three months
okay so if there's nothing further chris
that's it thank you okay then entertain
a motion to adjourn the tid board
so moved by flores second bencomo
