HERE TODAY. >>MAYOR VILLALOBOS: MAY WE HEAR

FROM THE APPLICANT FIRST. >> MAYOR, DID YOU HAVE SEVERAL CITIZENS SIGN UP FOR PUBLIC COMMENT, JUST TO AWARE THE LARGER STACK IS RELATED TO THIS IT

ITEM. >> GOOD EVENING, GENTLEMEN OF THE BOARD, MAYOR, CITY MANAGER AND CITY ATTORNEY AND CITY COMMISSIONERS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME TODAY.

I WANT TO FIRST CLARIFY THAT OUR -- OUR LOCATION HAS APARTMENTS BACK AS WELL. SO SOME OF THOSE -- A LOT OF THOSE WERE PARTS ON THAT POLICE REPORT APPLY TO THE BACK PARKING -- THE BACK APARTMENTS. AND POTENTIALLY TO THE BUSINESSES NEXT DOOR. SO I WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT.

I DID PREPARE A SPEECH TO PRESENT TODAY, WHICH IS WHAT I WILL BE READING RIGHT NOW. GOOD EVENING, MY NAME IS PEDRO RODRIGUEZ, AND I STAND BEFORE YOU AS THE FOUND ER OF TROPICAS.

AS A RESIDENT AND DEEJAY OF MCALLEN, I WAS FEATURED AS A PROFILE ON VISIT MCALLEN PLACE, AND MCALLEN'S MEXON FESTIVAL IN 2019. ALL HAVE MOLDED ME INTO A BUSINESS OWNER DEDICATED TO ENRICH WILLING OUR COMMUNITY.

TROPICASA IS NOT JUST A PLACE BUT AN EVER EVOLVING HUB IN MCALLEN, TEXAS. SWEET B AND C ALSO KNOWN IN THE ARTS DISTRICT, TROPICASA THRIVED OPEN EVERY DAY TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. WITH THE INCREDIBLE SUPPORT OF OUR COMMUNITY WE TRANSFORMED AN AGED BUILDING TO A PLACE FOR PEOPLE WITH ALL BACKGROUNDS. NOT YOUR TYPICAL CONVENIENCE STORE. A COMMUNITY STORE, CULTURAL STORE ALL ROLLED INTO ONE. TROPICASA IS A NEXUS FOR ARTS, MUSIC AND CULTURE. THE SPACE OFFERS A UNIQUE ARRAY OF SNACKS AND BEVERAGES SOME OF WHICH YOU WON'T FIND THIS CITY, NEIGHBORHOOD OR REGION. BUT WE ARE MORE THAN JUST A STORE, REDEFINING THE VERY CONCEPT OF A STORE.

AND GIG ECONOMY FOR MUNICIPAL COURT SIGNATURES, ARTISTS AND CULTURE WORKERS. WE ENGAGED FORCING STRONG CONNECTIONS. WE OFFER ART EXHIBITS, DEEJAY WORKSHOP AND TRAINING AND CONSCIOUS CONSUMPTION OF VEGAN SNACKS AND BEVERAGES WHILE MAINTAINING A LOW CARBON FOOTPRINT. SUCH EFFORTS HAVE NOT ONLY POURED OVER OUR ARTISTS BUT THE THOUSAND IN STATE AND LOCAL SALES TAXES. OUR IMPACTS ON THE ARTS DISTRICT AND CITY OF MCALLEN IS UNMISTAKABLE.

SINCE 2020, WE SAW THE ARTS DISTRICT THRIVE THANKS TO BUSINESSES AND TROPICASA. WE HOSTED OVER 75 EVENTS GALLERY EXHIBITS TO COMMUNITY MARKET, DRAG SHOWS, RUNWAYS, LIVE MUSIC VENUE EVENTS. PROVIDED A PLATFORM FOR 50 DEEJAYS FOR GIG OPPORTUNITIES AT VARIOUS VENUES.

AIDED THEM IN PLACES LIKE NEW YORK, AUSTIN, SAN ANTONIO AND DIFFERENT VENUES ACROSS THE STATE.

OUR REACH GOES BEYOND OUR CITY FEATURING ARTIST DPRS AROUND THE WORLD SUCH AS AMSTERDAM, NEW YORK, L.A., MEXICO CITY, PERU AND MORE. SIRIUS, PIT BALL, FIRE TONY, THE CARBON DIOXIDE PUMP HOUSTON, THE MCALLEN INCUBATOR.

AND WE ARE REACHING BROADER AUDIENCES WITH OUR WEEKLY LIVESTREAMS ON YOUTUBE, SOUNDCLOUD AND TWITCH, YET WE FACE CHANGES. ZONING REP INSTRUCTIONS PARKING REQUIREMENTS AND NOISE COMPLAINTS THAT THREATEN OUR THE GROW. THE KNOWS OF MOTION FROM THE ARTS DISTRICT CONTRADICTS ITS PRESENCE.

WHY OTHERS HOST AN DISTRICT, WHY WOULD WE BE DIFFERENT.

IT IS VITAL TO UNDERSTAND THAT WE AREN'T PUSHING FOR AN OVERCROWDED EVENT SPACE, BAR OR NIGHT CLUB ENVIRONMENT.

WE WISH TO CONTRIBUTE OUR EXPERTISE AND EXPERIENCES FOR A CALM, SAFER AND MORE INCLUSIVE CITY WHERE THE ARTS FLOURISH WITHOUT BEING A NUISANCE. IN CONCLUSION, WE ENVISION TROPICASA AS A UNIQUE SPACE VINTAGE CLOTHING, ART, RECORDS AND SNACKS AND BEVERAGES. BYOB, LIMITING OUTSIDE EVENTS AWAY FROM THE BACK PARKING LOT UNTIL 11 P.M. AND IN THE GALLERY

[00:30:05]

OF 2 A.M. ALLOW US TO ENGAGE ARTISTS, GIG WORKERS TO SUSTAIN BUSINESS. OUR GOAL IS TO HOST A FEW MUSICAL EVENTS. LIMITING OUR MUSIC TO 50 TO 75 DECIBEL. WE WILL HAVE SOUNDPROOFING INDOORS, SOUND BARRIERS AND SEALING OF WINDOWS AND DOORS.

OUR STRICT CAPACITY OF 49 PEOPLE INDOOR AND OUTDOOR EVENTS.

IN ADDITION, WE ARE REQUESTING A VARIANCE TO ADDRESS OUR INSUFFICIENT PARKING SITUATION. OUR MODEL IS NOT UNHEARD OF, SIMILAR SPACES HANGRY PLANET AND OTHERS HAVE SUCCESSFULLY INTEGRATED INTO THEIR COMMUNITIES.

WE REQUEST THE CITY COMMISSION TO LOOK BEYOND ZONING RESTRICTIONS AND VISUALIZE A MODERN ARTS DISTRICT THAT REPRESENTS THE SPIRIT OF MCALLEN.

IN SUPPORT OF MY PROCESS, I WAS ABLE TO OBTAIN 107 SIGNATURES FROM BUSINESSES ON MAIN KAHN STREET AND TENANTS OF THE MCALLEN INCUBATOR AND I HAVE ALL OF MY SIGNATURES HERE.

IT WAS UPDATED BECAUSE I DID GET PART OF THE PETITION YESTERDAY OR THE DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY. SO I HAVE ALL THAT HERE.

AND I WOULD LIKE TO ASK THE CITY FOR SUPPORT IN MY BUSINESS

TODAY. >>MAYOR VILLALOBOS: THANK YOU, SIR. ANYBODY ELSE IN FAVOR? OKAY. LET ME -- DO YOU ALL HAVE ANYTHING DIFFERENT TO ADD OR? ON BEHALF OR AGAINST.

OK OKAY.

>> IF I JUST WANT TO REMIND THE PUBLIC THAT YOU ARE LIMITED TO THREE MINUTES PER PERSON TESTIFYING.

IF I CAN ASK THE PUBLIC TO COOPERATE.

>> I WILL KEEP THIS VERY SHORT AND SIMPLE.

>> MA'AM, IDENTIFY YOURSELF BY GIVING YOUR NAME AND RESIDENCE.

>> BRIANNA LOPEZ. I LIVE IN MCALLEN, TEXAS, 4000 FLAMINGO AVENUE. I WANTED TO COME UP TODAY AND SHOW MY SUPPORT AND I WILL BEGIN.

CITY OF MCALLEN AND IN THE VALLEY, IT IS HARD AS A YOUNG INDIVIDUAL ESPECIALLY AS A WOMAN TO GO TO PLACE WHERE IS YOU ARE SAFE AND HAVE, LIKE, A SAFE ENVIRONMENT TO BE.

MANY PEOPLE SAY, WHY DON'T YOU JUST OPEN YOUR BUSINESS AT UPTOWN AND DOWNTOWN, THOSE PLACES ARE VERY UNPREDICTABLE.

AND I NEVER FELT SAFE OR I WAS TAKEN CARE OF LIKE I DO AT TROPICASA. AS A FULL-TIME STUDENT, I MEET A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE ART MAJORS, MUSIC MAJORS A AND TROPICASA HAS GIVEN THEIR SPACE AND SUPPORT TO SHOW THEIR ART AND TO SHOW WHAT THEY HAVE TO OFFER.

SO I JUST THINK THAT IT IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF MCALLEN TO ALLOW US AND TO GIVE US A CHANCE TO SHOW WHAT WE ARE MADE OF.

WE WILL, YOU KNOW, KEEP IN MIND ALL THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE DONE WRONG IN THE PAST AS A NOISE COMPLAINTS.

BY DOING SO, WE WON'T OVERCROWD. WE WON'T ALLOW MUSIC AFTER A CERTAIN POINT OR THE DECIBELS TO GO OVER THE LIMIT.

SO I WOULD PLEASE HOPE THAT YOU GUYS TAKE US INTO CONSIDERATION.

THANK YOU. >>MAYOR VILLALOBOS: THANK YOU.

YOU KNOW I WILL JUST CALL THEM OUT.

IT WILL BE EASIER. ADRIAN LUNA.

>> I AM ADRIAN LUNA. NORTH MAIN STREET.

I AM A NEIGHBOR OF TROPICASA. I AM BORN AND RAISE HUMID IN THE ARTS DISTRICT. I HAVE SEEN THE CHANGES THIS HAS GONE THROUGH. I AM 40 YEARS OLD.

I REMEMBER WHEN IT WAS A HUB OF CREATIVITY, ARTISTS.

I AM AN EXAMPLE OF THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD WHO SPECIFICALLY MOVED FROM AUSTIN, FROM WHEREVER WE -- I WAS BON AND RAISED HERE. I OWN MY CRAFT.

I AM AN ENTREPRENEUR. SO WHEN I CAME BACK, I SPECIFICALLY WANTED TO LIVE IN THE ART DISTRICT BEFORE THEY WERE THERE AND ALL THAT STUFF BECAUSE I WANTED TO BE AROUND OTHER ENTREPRENEURS, OTHER CREATIVES AND OTHER SHOPS LIKE THIS. I KNOW IT IS NOT A CITY -- THE CITY SUPPORTS OF ARTS THAT ARE OWNED BY THE CITY BUT YOU SHOULD GIVE THEM THE SAME, LIKE, SUPPORT, RECOGNITION TO INDEPENDENT BUSINESSES WHICH IS THE POINT.

ALL 8U HEAVY HITTERSES ARE ON YOU.

BECAUSE IF YOU DO THIS TO THIS -- I -- I JUST DON'T SEE HOW IT DOESN'T BENEFIT TO -- SORRY, TO -- TO HELP MAKE IT EASIER FOR THEM TO REACH OUT TO -- SORRY. I AM A LITTLE NERVOUS.

IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE TO MAKE IT HARDER OPPOSED TO FURTHER EXPANSION. I KNOW THERE IS GROWING PAINS WITH ANY BUSINESS. I AM SURE THE NOISE COMPLAINTS AND ALL THAT STUFF HAVE BEEN ISSUED IN THE PAST BUT WITH A

[00:35:03]

BUSINESS LIKE THIS, I FEEL IT IS CRUCIAL FOR YOU TO HELP THEM GROW, AS AN EXAMPLE. OF THE INDEPENDENT BUSINESSES AND OWNERS THAT WANT TO DO THE SAME.

THE WHOLE POINT OF LIVING IN THE ART DISTRICT.

NOT JUST A CONVENIENCE IN THE CITY WHEN IT HAS TO DO WITH THE INCUBATOR AND THE OTHER ART SPACES.

IT SHOULD INCLUDE EVERYBODY ELSE IN THE COMMUNITY.

THE MAJORITY OF ART AND SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS WHO LIVE IN THE COMMUNITY SUPPORT TROPICASA. I HAVE A SMALL CATERING COMPANY WHO TROPICASA GROW. AND I AM OPENING UP MY OWN SPOT.

THANKS TO THEM AND PLATFORM HELPS ME GET TO WHERE I AM NOW.

I HOPE YOU CAN TAKE THE TIME TO CONSIDER IT.

YEAH, THANK YOU. >>MAYOR VILLALOBOS: THANK YOU, SIR. MANUEL ARANDULA.

>> HELLO SIR, HELLO GENTLEMEN OF THE BOARD.

I LIVE ON MCALLEN ON SALMON STREET, CLOSE TO TROPICASA AS WELL, AND I AM COMING TO YOU AS SOMEONE WHO IS PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT WITH CYCLING. AVID CYCLIST AND APPRECIATE THE BIKE PATH ON MAIN STREET. HELPS THE ART DISTRICT ITSELF TO HAVE MORE COMMERCE, MORE TRAFFIC, FOR MULTIPLE BUSINESSES, NOT JUST TROPICASA. I AM AN ARTIST FEATURED TWICE AT TROPICASA. THE ONCE DURING THE PANDEMIC WHERE I WITNESSED HOW POWERFUL AND VITAL NOT ONLY A GROCERY STORE IS, BUT A HEALTHY, CONSCIOUS GROCERY STORE IS THAT PROVIDES SERVICES OF PEOPLE THAT ARE TRYING TO STRIVE BY ANY SENSE TO LIVE A HEALTHIER, MORE CONSCIENTIOUS LIFESTYLE.

AND LIKE ADRIAN, I GREW UP COMING AS AN ARTS STUDENT AND STUDYING PSYCHOLOGY AND STG. WE ARE CONJUGATED TO THE ART WALK. THE ART WALK HAS BEEN FACING DIFFICULTIES OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS DUE TO COVID OR INTERNAL POLITICS THAT THEY MAY BE HAVING BECAUSE OF COVID.

SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF THE GATEKEEPERS, PROPERTY OWNERS, PEOPLE THAT ARE INVOLVED WITH HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATIONS ARE KIND OF PLOTTING AGAINST THE EXPANSION OF A THRIVING ART DISTRICT THAT IS LACK THEREOF. IF YOU VISITED THE ART PLAZA, HALF IS VACANT BECAUSE TOO EXPENSIVE TO RENT THERE.

ART BUSINESSES, DON'T RENT TO STUDIOS AND ARTIST ARE THEY RENT TO BUSINESSES. EVEN WITH CREATIVE INCUBATOR, THEY DON'T RENT TO ARTISTS. BECAUSE THEY ARE RENTING FROM CALL CENTER BUSINESSES FROM INDIA.

THIS IS ALL APPARENT. THIS IS ONE TRIP DOWN THE STREET. YOU WILL SEE ALL THIS.

I SEE IT ON A DAILY BASIS WHENEVER THEY HAVE A SHOW OR IN CONSTRUCTION TO THAT FACE WHERE YOU CAN GET ARTISAN WINE AND ARTISAN CRAFT BEER BY LOCAL PEOPLE WHO MAKE ART AND CRAFT BEER AND WINE WHERE THEY CAN GO AND TRY THAT OUT AND CONNECTED TO IT IS PLAQUE HONEY, A COFFEE SHOP --

>> I DON'T MEAN TO INTERRUPT. TIMER IS MALFUNCTIONING IF I CAN

ASK YOU TO WRAP IT UP. >> ALL WITNESS OF BEING THERE IN THE ARTS DISTRICT AND SEEING HOW THE UNDERSERVED COMMUNITY AT LARGE -- JUST ONE MORE THING. I SEE A PATTERN HERE.

AND ALL RESPECTING NATURE. MY PROJECT WHERE I AM A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER, I HAVE SEATS, CORN SEATS FROM OAXACA, RARE VARIETIES, AND I HAND THEM OUT TO PEOPLE SO THEY CAN GROW THE SEEDS IN THEIR BACK YARD. WE ARE A FORCE OF NATURE.

AND I FEEL LIKE WE CAN ALL WORK TOGETHER TO CREATE, LIKE, A

THRIVING METROPOLIS. >> SIR.

>> I NEED FOR TO YOU WRAP IT UP. >> IN UPTOWN WE HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION TOO. THANK YOU.

>>MAYOR VILLALOBOS: VI VIVA ALTAPE.

>> GOOD AFTERNOON. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

I DON'T LIVE IN MCALLEN. I LIVED AROUND PHARR A AND ETINBURG. I COME TO MCALLEN FOR ALL OF MY NEEDS AND WORK IN MCALLEN FOR THE PAST THREE TO FOUR YEARS.

I THINK THAT MCALLEN IS VERY BIG OF TRYING TO EXPAND THE CITY AND GROW THE CITY ESPECIALLY THROUGH LOCAL BUSINESSES.

I THINK THIS IS MORE THAN A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT VISA THE CREATIVE SPACE THAT TROPICASA OFFERS.

[00:40:03]

THEY BRING IN DEEJAYS AND ARTISTS FROM DIFFERENT REGIONS OF THE VALLEY THAT YOU NEVER HEAR OF -- THAT YOU WERE NEVER HEARD OF. AND KIND OF EXPANDS US AND BRINGS THE BUSINESSES IN. INTERACTIVE PERSONALLY TO A LOT OF THE ARTISTS THAT COME INTO TOWN AND OFFER THEM KIND OF A DIFFERENT VIEW OF THE VALLEY, WHICH IS, LIKE, MAKES US STAND OUT TO A LOT OF PEOPLE. BECAUSE I AM LIKE, I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS THIS RICH IN CULTURE, MUSICALLY, ARTISTICALLY AND ALL THE REVENUE WE GAINED FROM THE BUSINESS.

SO I THINK IT WOULD BE KIND OF A DISSERVICE TO Y'ALL TO NOT HELP OUT A LOCAL BUSINESS GROW IN THAT WAY TO HELP THE CITY GROW.

THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

>>MAYOR VILLALOBOS: THANK YOU SO MUCH.

WE HAVE STEVEN GUERRO. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. FOR THE PAST THREE AND A HALF YEARS, TROPICAS AA VITAL PART OF THE ART DISTRICT.

FOR PERIODS OF TIME I WORKED FOR TROPICASA AND MY RESPONSIBILITY TO KEEP IT A SAFE SPACE. AN HONOR TO DO SO.

I SEE WHAT IS DONE FOR THOSE WHO CREATE MUSIC THERE ANT THE OPPORTUNITIES. WITHOUT TROPICASA, I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO WORK FOR WHO I WORKED FOR.

I WORKED FOR MULTIPLE VENUES. I WOULDN'T HAD A SECOND TIME.

WITHOUT TROPICASA, I WOULDN'T BE WHERE I AM AT.

I UNDERSTAND YOUR HESITATION BUT I ASK YOU TO GIVE US A CHANCE TO THRIVE MORE IN OUR SPACE FOR THE PEOPLE OF OUR COMMUNITY AND GIVE A CHANCE TO A MOM AND POP SHOP LIKE TROPICASA JUST TO SURVIVE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >>MAYOR VILLALOBOS: THANK YOU.

ANYBODY ELSE. ANYBODY TO SPEAK AGAINST THE ITEM? Y

YES? >> HI, GOOD AFTERNOON.

HILDA EDWARD, 13 1 JASMINE AND WE HAVE BEEN THERE FOR 35 YEARS.

AND I FIRST WAS AWARE OF TROPICASA A YEAR AGO WHEN WE HEARD LOUD AMPLIFIED MUSIC INSIDE OF OUR HOME IN THE EVENING. THE BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, WE COULD FEEL IT AND HEARD THE MUSIC. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER AFTER SEVERAL POLICE REPORTS AND IN-PERSON EXCHANGES WITH THE OWNER, IT STOPPED TO WHERE WE COULD NOT HEAR IT ANYMORE.

OUR HOME IS ABOUT TWO AND A HALF BLOCKS AWAY NORTH OF TROPICASA.

SO IT STOPPED. ABOUT SIX WEEKS AGO, A GENTLEMAN KNOCKED ON OUR DOOR AND ASKED FOR OUR SUPPORT IN OPPOSING TROPICASA AND HE IS A BUSINESSMAN WHO LIVES -- WHO HAS A BUSINESS NEARBY TROPICASA. HE WAS AWARE OF OUR EFFORTS -- LAST YEAR, TO STOP THE LOUD MUSIC.

SO HE STOPPED BY OUR HOME AND ASKED FOR OUR SUPPORT IN OPPOSING IT. AND HE DOES NOT WANT TO BE MENTIONED. BUT THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT KNOWS WHO HE IS. ANYWAY, SO LAST MONDAY, I STARTED A PETITION. AND I HAVE 65 SIGNATURES ALL OFS ARE DENTS AND BUSINESS PEOPLE IN THE 200-FOOT RADIUS OF TROPICASA. I WOULD LIKE TO PRESENT THAT TO YOU AND A COUPLE OF RESIDENTS WHO LIVE CLOSE BY WHO HAVE SOME

STATEMENTS. >>MAYOR VILLALOBOS: WE HAVE IT,

MA'AM. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>>MAYOR VILLALOBOS: ANYBODY ELSE WHO WANTS TO ADD SOMETHING DIFFERENT? YES, MA'AM.

>> MR. MAYOR, CITY COMMISSION, CAN YOU HEAR ME?

MY VOICE DOESN'T TRAVEL TOO FAR. >>MAYOR VILLALOBOS: WE DO.

>> THIS STATEMENT IS NOT MINE BUT I ADD AN ECHO TO THE VOICE OF THIS PERSON. I DIDN'T PREPARE A WRITTEN STATEMENT. I LIVE ONE BLOCK AWAY FROM TROPICASA. PERSONALLY I CALLED THE POLICE AT LEAST EIGHT TIMINGS FOR THE EXCESSIVE VOLUME.

PERSONALLY I AM ALL FOR PROMOTING ALL THE THINGS THAT MR. RODRIGUEZ WANTS TO SUPPORT, BUT IT IS THE COLLATERAL DAMAGE IS THE REASON FOR OUR OPPOSITION.

SO THIS IS A STATEMENT OF SOMEONE WHO LIVES EXACTLY BEHIND. THERE IS AN ALLY BETWEEN THE BACK OF THE BUSINESS AND THE APARTMENT WHERE THIS PERSON

[00:45:05]

LIVES. SO THIS IS HER STATEMENT.

WE LIVE ACROSS THE STREET FROM THEM.

SO WE HARDLY SLEEP. THE MUSIC IS VERY LOUD.

SOMETIMES THEY HAVE THE MUSIC SO LOUD THAT I COULD HEAR IT ALL THE WAY TO MY BEDROOM. I ADD ECHO TO THAT.

THEY PARKED ON THE STREETS AND I CANNOT GO THROUGH THEM.

SOMETIMES THEY LEAVE BEER BOTTLES AND GLASSES ON THE SIDE OF THE STREET. BECAUSE I LIVE IN THE BACK ALLEY, THEY PEE ON THE BACK OF MY APARTMENT WHERE I LIVE.

I HEAR THEM LAUGHING SO HARD AND TALKING, I CAN HEAR THEM.

LAST TIME, WE TOLD -- WE ASKED THEM IF THEY COULD SPEAK LOWER, AND THEY STARTED TO GET REALLY BAD ATTITUDES.

I CAUGHT TWO COUPLES HAVING SEX BEHIND MY APARTMENT.

IT IS SO REALLY DARK THERE. THEY SMOKE WEED.

THE SMELL -- IT SMELLS ALL THE WAY AROUND WHERE I LIVE.

THEY LEAVE TRASH OUTSIDE. THEY DON'T PICK UP THE TRASH.

WE CALLED CALLING THE COPS, BUT THEY DON'T REALLY DO NOTHING.

WE LIVE AT 609 NORTH BROADWAY STREET, APARTMENT 5.

I LIVE AT 507 NORTH MAIN STREET. TROPICASA IS ON MAIN STREET ONE BLOCK FROM WHERE THEY LIVE. IT IS THE COLLATERAL DAMAGE.

THEIR SPACE IS VERY TINY. I COULDN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY SQUARE FEET IT IS, BUT IT IS TINY.

IF THEY WANT A PERMIT FOR EVENTS, I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY WILL FIT ANYBODY IN THERE. AND I HAVE SEEN SWARMS OF YOUNG PEOPLE WALK UP NORTH MAIN STREET.

WHEN I GO TO WATER THE PLANTS IN FRONT, HERE THEY ARE COMING UNTIL THEY WERE FORCED TO LOWER THE VOLUME OF THE MUSIC SOMEWHAT, AND THE SWARM STOPPED COMING.

BUT REALLY, TO ME, IT LOOKED LIKE AN INVASION.

AS I SAID I AM ALL FOR PROMOTING ALL THE GOOD INTENTIONS THEY HAVE, BUT OUR COLLATERAL DAMAGE FOR OUR RESIDENTIAL AREA WILL BE IMPORTANT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR

LISTENING. >>MAYOR VILLALOBOS: THANK YOU.

>> MAY I APPROACH GIVE THIS PERSON'S STATEMENT TO YOU?

>> YOU CAN GIVE IT TO THE CITY'S SECRETARY.

>>MAYOR VILLALOBOS: ANYBODY ELSE -- ANYTHING DIFFERENT?

>> HELLO, MY NAME IS BLANCA HERNANDEZ.

I LIVE AT 616 NORTH MAIN, RIGHT NEXT TO TROPECASA.

AND IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY DON'T LET ME SLEEP.

I MEAN, I AM A SINGLE MOTHER. I WORK FROM 5:00 IN THE MORNING UNTIL 3:30, 5:00. I WORK 10 TO 12 HOURS AT GV AVIATION. I WENT TO TALK TO THE OWNER AND I TOLD THEM TO LOWER THE VOLUME, AND THEY WOULDN'T.

NOT A PLACE FOR A BAR. THERE IS NO SPACE.

THERE IS NO PARKING. IF -- WHEN THEY HAVE THOSE EVENTS, I CANNOT HAVE VISITORS BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE -- THEY DON'T HAVE A PARKING SPACE. THAT'S IT.

THANK YOU. >>MAYOR VILLALOBOS: THANK YOU SO MUCH. COMMISSION, QUESTIONS, COMMENTS?

>> QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT -- OR JJ?

>> LET ME START WITH MR. GARCIA. >> WHEN WAS THE APPLICATION FOR

THIS APPLIED TO YOUR DEPARTMENT? >> THIS APPLICATION CAME AROUND JULY. IT TOOK US A FEW MONTHS BECAUSE WE WERE GOING BACK AND FORTH TO WORK OUT THE NARRATIVE WITH THE APPLI APPLICANT.

>> HAS THIS APPLICANT PREVIOUSLY APPLIED FOR A LOCATION?

>> HE HAD NOT. WE MET WITH HIM NUMBER OF AIMS OCTOBER 14, 2021, MYSELF, THE EX-ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND CODE DIRECTOR AS WELL AS HIS DEPUTY DIRECTOR MET WITH PEDRO.

AGAIN, TWO YEARS AGO. WE TOLD HIM WHAT HE NEEDED TO DO COME INTO COMPLIANCE. AND WE WAITED UNTIL THIS JULY.

>> WE ASSUME HE HAS BEEN IN OPERATION OCTOBER 2021.

>> AS PER THE REPORT OF POLICE AND CODE CONSTANTLY GOING.

>> THE FIRST FACE-TO-FACE CONTACT, YOU DETERMINED AND ASCERTAINED HE WAS CONDUCTING A BUSINESS THERE.

IT WOULD BE OCTOBER. >> YES.

>> NOT TALK ABOUT COMPLAINTS BUT CODE ENFORCEMENT OR SOMEONE FROM

[00:50:03]

YOUR APARTMENT KNOCKED ON THE DOOR AND SPOKE TO THE AGENT OCTOBER 2021. FROM THE TIME OCTOBER 2021 AND OCTOBER 2023, HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOUR DEPARTMENT OR A REPRESENTATIVE HAVE GONE OUT TO TELL HIM HE NEEDED A CONDITIONAL

USE PERMIT. >> MOSTLY THE CODE ENFORCEMENT DEPARTMENT, SIR. AS YOU WILL SEE IN THE REPORT IN THE PACKET, NOT EVERY TIME WERE THEY TOLD THEY NEEDED A C.U.P.

BUT AT LEAST HALF A DOZEN. THROUGHOUT THE PAST TWO YEARS, THEY HAVE BEEN TOLD TO COME IN, SEE US, GET A C.U.P. AND CAN BE

HANDLED BY CODE. >> MR. RODRIGUEZ OR ANYBODY ELSE APPROACH THE DEPARTMENT WITH THAT APPLICATION REQUEST?

>> NOT UNTIL -- TO BE FAIR, TWO YEARS AGO HE TOOK THE APPLICATION, AND THEN NEVER CAME BACK.

>> SO THE FIRST TIME IT WAS RETURNED BACK FOR THIS PROCESS

WAS WHEN? >> WAS TWO, THREE MONTHS AGO.

>> TWO OR THREE MONTHS AGO? >> YES, SIR.

>> ANYONE FROM YOUR DEPARTMENT -- I KNOW THIS SOUNDS LIKE A CROSS EXAMINATION -- ACTUALLY VERIFIED OR CORROBORATING THAT HE IS RUNNING

A VEGAN STORE? >> YES, IN FACT THE PLANNER WHO WORKED IN CASE WENT OUT TO DO HER SITE VISITS.

THERE ARE VEGAN OFFERINGS THERE. YES.

>> TO OPERATE AS A VEGAN STORE, HE NEEDED A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT? THAT IS AN EXCELLENT QUESTION, COMMISSIONERS, NOT THAT THE OTHERS WEREN'T.

BUT -- GENERAL BUSINESS DISTRICT. THEY CAN -- TOMORROW, LET'S SAY THIS GETS DENIED, THEY CAN CONTINUE SELLING SANDWICHES.

THEY CAN CONTINUE SELLING T-SHIRTS, CDS, BLTS,

WHATEVER. >> I UNDERSTAND IT IS A C-3.

I KNOW I LOOK DUMB BUT -- THIS FOCUS IS THIS MIXED USE. FIRST OF ALL, IT IS FOR AN EVENT SPACE, RIGHT. CAN YOU KIND OF GIVE US A SUMMARY OF THE MIXED USE IN USES THAT ARE ALLOWED BY THE MIXED

USE. >> AN EXCELLENT QUESTION THIS THAT CAME FROM THE APPLICANT THEMSELVES.

THEY WERE VAGUE ON WHAT THEY WERE TRYING TO APPLY FOR.

THE EVENT SPACES THEY HAVE BYOB AND CONSTANT EVENTS MIXED IN WITH THE RETAIL ALREADY ALLOWED BY LIGHT.

>>THE ACTION FOR EVENT SPACE BASED ON THE SQUARE FOOTAGE, WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM OCCUPANCY THE SPACE COULD HAVE.

THE OBJECT PANSY WAS DETERMINED BY THE BUILDING OFFICIAL.

49 PEOPLE. >> 49 PEOPLE.

>> YES, SIR. >> ALL RIGHT, I AM DONE WITH MY QUES QUES

QUESTIONS. >>MAYOR VILLALOBOS: A VEGAN STORE WOULDN'T BE CAUSING THE NOISE.

WHAT IS IT? >> THEY HAVE BEEN HAVING EVENTS SINCE 2021. ALLOWING ALCOHOL TO BE BROUGHT

IN. >>MAYOR VILLALOBOS: THE BYOB.

>> IF IT GETS DENIED TOMORROW, THEY CAN STILL SELL ITEMS.

>> I WENT TO GO SEE IT, AND I SAW THE BACK PART OF IT -- YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE THE HOUSE TO THE STORE AND ACTIVITIES INSIDE, YOU KNOW, THE THEIR DEEJAYING AND THINGS, BUT OUTSIDE, WANTING TO HAVE EVENTS OUTSIDE. AND OUTSIDE IS ONLY AROUND MAYBE

30 X 50 IN THE BACK. >> AT MOST.

IT IS TIGHT. >> WITH A FEW BENCHES AND FEW

THINGS THERE. >> CORRECT.

>> THEY ARE WANTING TO HAVE EVENTS, ACTIVITIES OUTSIDE IN T THIS.

>> INSIDE AND OUTSIDE, YES, SIR. >> HOW HOW WOULD THE NOISE LEVEL

BE TOLERABLE TO -- >> HE SAYS HE HAS PEOPLE TO THE

>> SOUND DAMPENING IN THE BUILDING OR APPLY -- USE OUR CURRENT OCCUPANCY OR LIMITED CAPACITY IN THE BUILDING ALSO TO THE OUTDOORS. SO THAT IS WHY I USE THE NUMBER 49, BECAUSE I WANT TO USE THAT -- USING PLANNING AND ZONING'S EXPERTISE, HAVE A THAT I PLYED TO THE EVENT CENTER.

YOU THINK OF EVENT CENTER. CONVENTION CENTER.

HUGE SHOWS. HUGE EVENTS.

WE DON'T WANT TO DO THAT. WE TONIGHT WANT AN OVERCROWDED SPACE OR PEOPLE CONSUMING ON PROPERTY.

WE ARE TRYING TO SCALE DOWN. SCALE BACK.

WE UNDERSTAND THE NUISANCES WE CREATED IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE DISTRICT. SO WE ARE TRYING TO REMEDY THAT.

THAT IS WHY WE ARE HERE TO $TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT A SOLUTION, BECAUSE THIS IS OUR LIVELIHOODS. THIS IS MY PROFESSION.

I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR TEN-PLUS YEARS.

>> OKAY. BUT -- OKAY.

WHAT YOU WERE DOING BEFORE AND WHAT YOU PLAN TO DO TODAY -- IN

[00:55:02]

THE FUTURE IS -- WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?

WHAT WOULD BE THE DIFFERENCE? >> THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT WE WOULD GET -- THAT WE WILL BE LEGALLY ABLE TO DO THIS WITH THE C.U.P. PERMIT WITH PERMISSION FROM THE CITY AND PERMISSION FROM ZONING AND FROM Y'ALL.

YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHY WE ARE HERE TODAY.

>> WHAT YOU WERE DOING BEFORE, YOU WANT TO DO IT, BUT WITH OUR

PERMISSION? >> SO WE -- WHEN WE FIRST MET WITH THE PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT, WE HAVE MENTIONED AND STATED WE WOULD BE DOING EVENTS HERE AND THERE.

IT SHOULDN'T BE A MYSTERY THAT WE WERE -- OF WHAT WE WERE DOING. WE JUST -- YOU KNOW, WE FOUND -- WE EXPERIENCED OUR GROWTH SPURT AND OUR GROWTH SPURT HAPPENED TO BE LIVE DEEJAY EVENTS, MUSIC EVENTS.

I PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN HERE IF I HAD NOT SACK RYE MISSED TIME TO DO THESE THINGS. MY BUSINESS WOULD BE SHUT DOWN.

ME BEING MISINFORMED OF ORDINANCES AND NOT HAVING THE PROPER EDUCATION ABOUT THEM, THAT'S WHY WE ARE HERE TODAY,

YOU KNOW. >> LEADING BACK TO COMMISSIONER ZAMORA'S QUESTIONING, THE TIMELINE HE WAS TRYING TO SET UP. A C.U.P. HAS GUIDELINES AND KIND OF RULES THAT BUSINESSES NEED TO ABIDE BY, RIGHT.

AND WHEN YOU WERE TOLD OF THE C.U.P. OF OCTOBER OF '21, THE FOLLOW TO FOLLOW THROUGH ON THE APPLICATION, SUBMISSION --

>> A FAILURE ON PLANNING AND ZONING SITE.

THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO FOLLOW UP WITH US, AND THEY DID NOT.

>> PLANNING AND ZONING IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR FOLLOWING UP.

>> IF I CAN BE TRANSPARENT AND HONEST, THERE IS A BIG GAP IN MISCOMMUNICATION THAT HAPPENS WITH CODE ENFORCEMENTS AND BUSINESS OWNERS. IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO INTERPRET THE LAW YOU HAVE SOMEBODY SHOWING UP AT YOUR BUSINESS TELLING YOU -- TELLING YOU THAT YOU ARE DOING X, Y AND Z.

THERE IS NO EDUCATION BEHIND THAT.

WE FIRST WENT TO TALK TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT TO OPEN UP OUR BUSINESS. THEY DIDN'T TELL US WE COULDN'T HAVE EVENTS. WE SPECIFICALLY TOLD THEM WE WOULD BE HAVING LIMITED EVENTS HERE AND THERE.

>>MAYOR VILLALOBOS: I THINK ONE OF THE ISSUES THAT IT TYPICAL -- AND ALSO VERY EVIDENCE THAT BLAZE WAS DOING -- AND WAS IN BUSINESS ILLEGALLY AS WE TALKED ABOUT.

AND NO QUESTION ABOUT THAT. >> MULTIPLE BUSINESSES ON MAIN

STREET -- >>MAYOR VILLALOBOS: WE ARE LOOKING TO GIVE YOU PERMISSION TO ACT SOMETHING YOU WERE DOING BEFORE THAT THE PEOPLE COMPLAINED ABOUT, BUT NOW GETTING US TO SAY, IT'S LEGAL. PRETTY MUCH WHAT WE ARE DOING?

>> ILLEGAL. WHAT IS ILLEGAL.

>>MAYOR VILLALOBOS: TO GIVE A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT.

>> ARE YOU ASKING ME IF THAT IS ILLEGAL TO DO THAT?

>>MAYOR: WHAT YOU ARE ASKING THE CITY IN A SENSE TO.

YOU WERE DOING -- YOU WERE ACTING OR CONDUCTING BUSINESS WHEN YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO. THE PEOPLE WERE COMPLAINING FOR NOISE VIOLATIONS AND COMPLAINING FOR OTHER ISSUES, CORRECT?

>> CORRECT. >>MAYOR VILLALOBOS: IN 2021, YOU KNEW YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO AND YET YOU CONTINUED, CORRECT?

>> WE CONTINUED HAVING LIVE EVENTS AND LOUD MUSIC.

>>MAYOR VILLALOBOS: WITHOUT A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT.

>> YES. >>MAYOR VILLALOBOS: WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE NOT WANTING THIS BECAUSE OF THE NOISE AND I GUESS TRASH AND TOO MANY -- A LOT OF PEOPLE COMING IN.

BUT NOW YOU WANT US TO, IN A SENSE, TELL YOU YEAH, IT IS OKAY TO DO IT NOW? SO GOING BACK TO, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE HAVING SEXUAL ACTIVITY AND DOING MESSES ON THE STREET.

THERE ARE MULTIPLE BUSINESSES ON MAIN STREET.

DOWNTOWN IS ABOUT A MILE AWAY. I HAVE EXPERIENCED PEOPLE --

>>MAYOR VILLALOBOS: BUT THEY ARE NOT HERE, YOU ARE.

>> WHAT'S THAT? >>MAYOR: THEY ARE NOT HERE, YOU

ARE. >> MY EXPERIENCE AS A BUSINESS OWNER I WITNESSED OUTSIDE OF MY BUSINESS.

HAVING NOTHING TO DO WITH TROPICASA.

>>MAYOR VILLALOBOS: NOT RIGHT FOR THEM TO DO THAT EITHER.

>> MULTIPLE BARS AND BUSINESSES ON MAIN STREET AND THE MAJORITY OPERATE AS LIVE MUSIC VENUES AND THEY STILL GET CITED.

NOT JUST US COMMITTING THESE ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES.

IT IS OTHER BUSINESSES. >>MAYOR VILLALOBOS: YOU AND OTHER BUSINESSES DO THESE I WILL ACTIVITIES.

>> IF A THAT IS WHAT YOU WANT TO CALL IT, YES, SIR.

>> I AM SURPRISINGLY A FAN OF TROPICASA FROM A STANDPOINT WHAT YOU ABOUT I THINK TO THE CITI. I NEVER WENT TO ONE OF THE EVENING EVENTS, BUT THE VEGAN MARKET, THE LOCAL BODEGA, YOU HAVE THE VINTAGE SHOP. A ART GALLERY TO SOME EXTENT WHERE YOU SHOWCASE ARTISTS. IT APPEARS THAT THE LIVE DEEJAY EVENTS HAVE TAKEN OVER TO BE THE SUCCESS OF YOUR ESTABLISHMENT AND PULLED AWAY FROM ALL THOSE OTHER ASPECTS, RIGHTS.

THOSE ASPECTS CAN REMAIN. >> THE THING IS THESE ASPECTS CO-EXIST WITH EVERYTHING ELSE. NOT LIKE ONE IS MORE VITAL OR

[01:00:01]

SIGNIFICANT THAN THE OTHER. THEY ARE INTERWOVEN TOGETHER.

>> I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT YOU ARE DRAWING PEOPLE OUT FOR THE

EVENTS, CORRECT? >> THAT'S HOW WE BRING IN

REVENUE. >> HOW YOU BRING IN A

SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF REVIEW. >> MAIN STREET IS VERY SLOW.

BUSINESSES ARE SLOW. PEOPLE ARE MOVING TO UPTOWN AND MIDTOWN. I DON'T WANT TO MOVE MY BUSINESS ANYWHERE ELSE. WHY SHOULD I MOVE MY BUSINESS TO A DISTRICT THAT IS UNPREDICTABLE, A LOT OF OVERCONSUMPTION AND OVERCROWDEDNESS.

WHERE ARE WE SUPPOSED TO GO. >> SO MAIN STREET IS A VERY DIFFICULT ONE, BECAUSE A LOT OF RESIDENCES MIXED WITH A LOT OF BUSINESS. MOST OF THE BUSINESS THERE IS, WHETHER THEY HAVE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT OR AN GREATING PERMIT, ALSO HAVE TABC LICENSES. SO THEY HAVE A SEPARATE AUTHORITY THEY HAVE TO FOLLOW GUIDELINES AND RULES.

BYOB, HEAVILY CONCERNING FOR ME. VERY CONCERNING FOR ME.

VERY DIFFERENT THAN HAVING AN EVENT TO HAVING AN EVENT ALLOWING BYOB. ONE OF THE MORE CONCERNING ASPECTS FOR ME. SECURITY MEASURES.

LIGHTING MEASURES. CONTROLS.

TBC CERTIFICATIONS THAT COME INTO PLAY WHEN YOU WANT TO HAVE ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION ON YOUR PREMISE.

TO ME, BYOB IS A SCAPEGOAT TO GET AROUND FROM IT.

I DON'T GENERATE REVENUE FROM IT, BUT YOU ARE NOT SPEAKING TO THE ASPECT OF WHAT THAT KIND OF UNCONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT WITH ALCOHOL BRINGS. IF YOU WERE HAVING EVENTS WITH MUSIC, I GET SOME COMPLAINS OF MUSIC ON MAIN STREET NOT JUST YOUR VENUE AN MOST OF THE PLACES TURN OFF THE MUSIC IN FULL BY 11

FOR RESPECT THE NEIGHBORHOODS. >> OF COURSE.

>> AT TIMES THEY GO A LITTLE OVER AND AT TIMES LOUD, AND WE TRY TO CONTROL THAT AS BEST WE CAN.

THEY ARE NOT HAVING LIVE MUSIC OR DEEJAYS UNTIL 2 A.M. WHICH COULD BE VERY DISRUPTIVE FOR MAIN STREET.

>> MR. HADDAD. WHAT WOULD BE YOUR SUGGESTION

FOR TROPICASA ON MAIN STREET. >> TO FOLLOW THE RULES THAT MAIN STREET. IF YOU WANT TO HAVE ALCOHOL AT YOUR PLACE, A TBC LICENSE AND SEE IF THAT APPLICATION GOES THROUGH AND GETS APPROVED. I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD HAVE MUSIC PAST 11 P.M., ESPECIALLY ON THE OUTSIDE.

DISRUPTIVE FROM THE INSIDE. >> THAT WAS PART OF MY PROPOSAL TO CUT OFF THE MUSIC AT 11 OUTDOORS.

RESPECTING THE NEIGHBORHOOD. I SMOKE TO MISS TREVINO AT THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT TO EDIT MY PROPOSAL TO NON-BYOB.

I DON'T WANT TO PUT PEOPLE IN DANGER.

TOO LATE FOR ME TO GO AHEAD AND RESTRUCTURE THAT.

AND JUST TO BE TRANSPARENT WHAT I WAS ACTUALLY WANTING TO DO.

I WAS TOO LATE TO ACT ON IT. >>MAYOR VILLALOBOS: COMMISSIONERS, I USUALLY DON'T, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST A

MOTION TO DENY THE C.U.P. >> SECOND.

>> I WILL ACHE A MOTION TO DENY THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AS SET FORTH BY MR. RODRIGUEZ OF WHAT HE IS REQUESTING.

TIFFANY KIRSTEN. >> I ACTUALLY WANT TO SPEAK ON

FAVOR, SAY AYE. MOTION CARRIES.

ITEM 3-A. YES, MA'AM.

>> HI, GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS TIFFANY KRISTEN, A PROFESSIONAL BIRDING GUIDE AND THE FORMER RECREATION SUPERVISOR FOR THE MCALLEN NATURE CENTER. I'M HERE TODAY BECAUSE NATURE PARK WAS LISTED AS NUMBER ONE ON THE PARKS AND REC PRIORITIES FOR THE MASTER PLAN, BUT THE AGENDA AND THE PACKET INFORMATION FROM TODAY'S MEETING SEEMS TO INDICATE THAT THE CITY IS DISREGARDING THE CONCERNS AND VOICES OF THE RESIDENTS.

CAMPGROUND CERTAINLY IS NOT I NOMINATE ANONYMOUS WITH NATURE

[01:05:02]

PARK. FOR SIX YEARS AS THE ONLY FULL-TIME CITY OF MCALLEN NATURE CENTER EMPLOYEE, MY TEAM OF PART-TIME STAFF AND I GREW THE VISITATION AND PROGRAMMING TO 20,000 PEOPLE ANNUALLY. DURING THIS TIME OVER THE SIX YEARS TO MY KNOWLEDGE, ONLY TWO COMMISSIONERS VISITED THE NATURE CENTER. THE MAYOR, ONCE.

NOT A SINGLE LINE ITEM DEDICATED TO THE MCALLEN NATURE CENTER.

THERE IS STILL NOT. MY STAFF AND I SAW THE THINGS YOU DIDN'T SEE. A LITTLE BOY WITH AUTISM WHO FEARED THE TREES ON HIS FIRST VISIT BUT WOUND UP A FEW MONTHS LATER RUNNING AROUND HIS MOTHER HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME KEEPING TRACK OF HIM. YOU HADN'T SPOKEN TO THE MOTHER OF THE COLLEGE STUDENTS SUCH ANXIETY THAT THE ONLY PLACE SHE COULD GO WITHOUT HER MOTHER WAS TO THE MCALLEN NATURE CENTER.

YOU DIDN'T SEE THE MIDDLE-AGED MAN THAT CAME TO YOGA THREE TIMES A WEEK WITH CHRONIC HEALTH ISSUES BARELY ABLE TO WALK WHOSE QUALITY OF LIFE WAS GREATLY APPROVED AFTER ATTENDING FREE YOGA CLASSES AND WOULD BE CLEAR WE NOT BE ABLE TO AFFORD A YOGA STUDIO MEMBERSHIP. ONE OF THE MOST LOW-INCOME COMMUNITIES IN THE COUNTRY, THE MCALLEN NATURE CENTER BECAME AN IMPORTANT QUIET CORNERSTONE FOR LOW INCOME RESIDENTS WHILE CITY MANAGEMENT SEEMINGLY CHOSE TO LOOK AWAY.

THE MCALLEN NATURE CENTER CHASED THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR THOUSANDS OF RESIDENTS. COVID CAME AND STAFFING AND PROGRAMS DISAPPEARED QUICKLY. BUSINESSMEN WITH YOUR ROLES OF AUTHORITY AND PRIVILEGE, IT SEEMS YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HAVE BEEN LOST WITH THE DEGRADATION OF THE MCALLEN NATURE CENTER.

LOW-INCOME PEOPLE NO LONGER HAVE ACCESS TO THESE FACILITIES.

MCALLEN HAS ONE WITH 1 MILLION BUDGET AND ANOTHER ONE THAT DOESN'T SEE A DAM. INVESTMENT IN MCALLEN NATURE CENTER AND I KNOW THE CITY OF MCALLEN KNOW THAT RESIDENTS ARE REQUESTING INVESTMENT IN THE MCALLEN NATURE CENTER AND NOT A CAMPGROUND. NOT TO SAY THAT A CAMPGROUND IS A BAD THING BUT THE WHY WE ARE MAKING AND NATURE PARKS BEING NUMBER ONE ON THE PRIORITY LIST IS VERY CLEARLY WITH THE MCALLEN NATURE CENTER AND NOT THE KEPLER PROPERTY.

I RESPECTFULLY ASK THAT CITY GOVERNMENT DOES NOT GENERALIZE THE ASK WE ARE MAKING AND TAKING A REAL LOOK AT INVESTING IN STAFFING AND PROGRAMMING AND THE REVITALIZATION OF THE MCALLEN NATURE CENTER. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. >>MAYOR VILLALOBOS: THANK YOU.

OKAY. ITEM 3-A.

>> I WAS GOING TO MENTION COMING FROM THE WORKSHOP WAS GIVEN HOW THAT PRIORITIZATION CAN AFFECT GRANTS SHOULD WE HAVE THAT SEPTEMBER OUT TO THE CITY COMMISSION TO SEE HOW IN LINE WE ARE WITH THAT PRIORITIZATION? I THINK OMAR OR --

>>MAYOR VILLALOBOS: DO WE HAVE A DEADLINE FOR IT?

>> SOMEONE HAD MENTIONED WE COULD RESHUFFLE SOME OF THOSE,

FIVE POINTS VERSUS ONE POINT. >>MAYOR VILLALOBOS: ESPECIALLY

THE TOP THREE. >> THEY CAN BE SHUFFLED.

>> THERE IS NO DEADLINE AT THIS PO POINT. THE GRANT APPLICATION WILL BE DUE AUGUST 1 AND THIS YEAR'S MASTER PLAN HAS TO BE TURNED IN 30 DAYS PRIOR TO THE GRANT APPLICATION.

SO IT NEEDS TO BE DONE BY EARLY NEXT YEAR.

>> ARE YOU SUGGESTING WE GET FEEDBACK FROM THE COMMISSION?

>> YES, TO EFFECT WHAT -- WHAT KIND OF GRANTS WE ARE GOING TO APPLY FOR TO MAKE SURE -- IF IT IS A PRIORITY THAT NEEDS TO BE A HIGHER PRIORITY, WE PUT IT THERE FOR THE ADDED POINTS.

THE OTHER THING I WOULD LIKE TO SEE -- I BELIEVE THE SURVEY HAD WHERE PEOPLE COULD SUBMIT WRITTEN COMMENTS.

SOMETHING WE CAN GET, LIKE, A REPORT OF? I WOULD LIKE TO SEE WHAT PEOPLE WROTE IN RATHER THAN WHAT THEY KIND OF PRIORITIZED IN THAT BROAD CATEGORY.

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE PEOPLE'S WRITTEN FEEDBACK.

>> WE HAVE GOT THAT. AND THAT THAT WOULD -- THAT IS INCLUDED ATTACHMENT, BUT WE HAVE THE WRITTEN COMMENTS.

AND THEY ARE CLASSIFIED TOGETHER BY TYPES OF COMMENTS, BUT WE

HAVE ALL OF THAT. >> THAT IS GOOD.

>>MAYOR VILLALOBOS: DO I HAVE A MOTION TO TABLE.
