DIRECTION TO STAFF TO FURTHER NEGOTIATE AND ADD RECOMMENDATIONS BY CITY
COUNCIL TO THE OPERATIONAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF SAN ANGELO AND THE
SAN ANGELO PERFORMING ARTS COALITION (SAPAC) RELATING TO CREATION OF THE
PERFORMING ARTS CENTER AND CAMPUS WHICH WILL INCLUDE THE MUNICIPAL
AUDITORIUM; PROVIDING FOR MANAGEMENT SERVICES BY SAPAC; PROVIDING FOR THE USE
OF OFFICE SPACE BY THE COALITION WITHIN CITY HALL BY SAPAC; PROVIDING FOR
FUNDING RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE PARTIES; AND PROVIDING FOR RELATED MATTERS
City Manager Harold Dominguez presented background information. He provided a brief on the terms of the
contract, specifically the sales tax allocation to construct the auditorium for $3.5M, working with the arts group
to establish a performing arts center, the provision for the City to maintain the core structure of the auditorium
for $2.5M with the understanding SAPAC will raise the remaining $2.5M through private donors to complete
the restoration, in turn SAPAC will operate the Auditorium; and authorizing a 50 year lease with the City with
the understanding the City will draft a renewal lease thereafter. Mr. Dominguez reviewed the main contract
terms: naming rights of the Auditorium and limiting SAPACs role in the sale of naming rights, and if
presented, both entities will work collaboratively and City Council will have final approval of such; City will be
reimbursed for any operational and maintenance cost at 100% therefore no subsidy; SAPAC will finish out the
mezzanine area at no cost to the City, and entities involved agreed the San Angelo Cultural Arts Affair
(SACAC) 5% Hotel and Motel Occupancy Tax revenue (HOT) allocation will be reverted to SAPAC.
General discussion was held on SAPAC’s mission to integrate the community use of the Auditorium; ensuring
the HOT funds are utilized for programming and not salaries; Mezzanine finished at a base level and any
improvements or furnishings will be provided by SAPAC; leasing the entire west side of the auditorium
mezzanine versus utilizing the space for other City operations; the concerns of the amount of money to complete
the Auditorium and the exchange for the office space, SACAC 5% HOT funds transfer, revenue sharing
options, no guarantee on the dollar amount to provide long term financial relationship in regards to charging a
$2 ticket
fee for maintenance of the Auditorium; other contractual relationships with similar ticket sales; appointing three
11. Page 294 Minutes
Vol. 103 February 21, 2012
representatives each from the City and SAPAC to decide on the ???; SAPAC’s decision to create their own
ticket office and charge a $1.50 ticket fee to maintain the former Coke warehouse; limiting the groups usage of
HOT funds for programming; being good stewards of using the funds from the City for those specific programs,
return on investment of HOT dollars, and the required budget reporting from SAPAC showing how dollars are
used (noting such reporting is state regulated).
In conclusion, City Council suggested the following changes to the contract:
- SAPAC 2.5M finish of Auditorium
- 50 year lease: decrease time 15-20
- Naming rights: SAPAC can have legacy naming rights (name on a plaque but not on the facility); selling
rights for the Auditorium only – then they must work with existing contractor and obtain approval by City
Council
- Ticket fee - Mechanism for inflationary figure for increased cost
- Termination clause: termination process, for a period of time, and if so, have an amortized value for the
capital investment

sums or claim for damages by any remedy provided for by law, or from recovering

Consideration of approving a change order in the amount of $405,339.00 to WU-
7-10 Rio Concho Drive Sewer Trunk Contract with Holloman Corporation for extra
work required due to differing subsurface conditions encountered in Concho Dr.
and Oakes St. and authorizing the City Manager or his designee to execute the
change order.
Summary: Holloman Corporation encountered differing and unforeseen subsurface
conditions in Concho Ave. and Oakes Street during the excavation operation of the Rio Concho

Consideration and possible action regarding a recommendation by the TIRZ
Board to approve a revision to the North Angelo Redevelopment Incentives
Program policy guidelines to alter the asbestos abatement incentive to 50%
matching funds incentive with the maximum TIRZ expenditure to be $15,000.00
The current policy provides for an incentive based on square feet, linear feet or
other means of measuring the amount of asbestos to be removed up to a
Summary: maximum expenditure by TIRZ of $10,000. Staff recommended and the TIRZ
Board approved a revision to the policy to align it more closely with the incentive
offered in the downtown area.
History: At its regular meeting of July 21, 2010 the TIRZ Board approved adding among
others, an incentive for asbestos abatement. Subsequent to that Council
approved the policy at its meeting of August 17, 2010. The current policy is as
follows:
5.) Asbestos Abatement Incentive Program: A portion of the costs of abating
asbestos will be rebated as a cash grant from the North TIRZ fund using the
following calculations:
• Floor tile—$1.50 per square foot of affected area
• Walls or ceiling tile—$2.50 per square foot of affected area
• Wiring or duct work—$2.50 per linear foot of wiring or duct work
• Other—1/2 the per square foot estimate provided
Abatement costs will be calculated using the dollar amounts above in conjunction
with the Asbestos Evaluation Report provided to the City, and shall not exceed
$10,000 per building. This incentive is subject to funding availability in the North
TIRZ account.
At the time of approval, the terminology was similar to the incentive offered in the
Downtown TIRZ. Subsequent to the approval of this incentive, the downtown incentive
was revised to a 50% match up to a maximum TIRZ expenditure of $15,000. Staff
recommended that the North Angelo incentive be revised to a 50% matching grant up
to a maximum of $10,000 and the TIRZ Board approved the revision but instructed
staff to raise the maximum grant amount to $15,000 to match that of the South
(downtown) TIRZ. The South TIRZ incentives were approved by Council on June 7,
2011.
Financial Impact: Increase of up to $5,000 maximum grant amount.

35. NORTH ANGELO REDEVELOPMENT INCENTIVES
To encourage revitalization of the North TIRZ area, the City of San Angelo offers the following incentives
for development in the North Angelo area within the North TIRZ Boundary. Additional incentives may be
available. Contact the Development Services Department for more information.
The incentives are part of an overall strategy to leverage investment, lower the cost of doing business
and incentivize property owners choosing to improve commercial / retail properties in the target area.
Incentives will be available to any existing or new building that houses one or a combination of uses
typically allowed in General Commercial zoning. These include the following:
Retail sales Vehicle service performed while the
Restaurants customer waits
Colleges and schools Vehicle wash
Day care for children or adults Small animal veterinary clinic
Bed & breakfast Personal service-oriented business
Business, professional, medical or Entertainment-oriented business

household goods
Specifically excluded from this incentive policy are churches and non-profit organizations or other tax
exempt properties. Façade grants are granted to any business regardless of use.
Any business which applies for incentives through this policy and is currently zoned CG/CH must rezone
their property in compliance with CG/CH Rezoning Plan or any other zoning classification approved by
the City of San Angelo Planning Division. Proposals for CG/CH zoning were banned by the San Angelo
Planning Commission and City Council in 1972 due to the harmful effects created such as unlimited
outside storage and a range of incompatible allowed uses. Fees for this rezone will be waived.
Unless specifically exempted, all projects seeking incentives must meet current building standards, codes
and permitting requirements as well as be current on all taxing obligations. All incentives are subject to
funding availability, final approval by the City of San Angelo and, depending on the project, may be more
than provided for herein.
1) North Angelo Façade Grant Program: Designed to help property owners and/or tenants in the North
Angelo Revitalization Grant area improve the aesthetic appearance of their properties, the program is a
50%/50% (property owner/City) matching grant based on an assigned value of $18 per square foot of
street-facing façade area per building up to a limit of $7,500. In addition, the City will provide a grant of up
to $2,000.00 at a rate of $15.00 per linear foot for screening of outside storage areas either facing a public
street or abutting a residential property. The City will also provide a grant of up to $500.00 per business for
new signs. Please refer to the North Angelo Revitalization Grant Guidelines for complete details of this
program.
The program provides reimbursable grants for approved improvements that restore, rehabilitate, enhance
or beautify a structure. Limited program funds are approved on a first-come, first-served basis.
2) Development Fee Reduction Program: Several development fees for projects located within the
North TIRZ district will be paid in part by the North TIRZ. Through September 30, 2014, the following

Applicants must have a signed incentive agreement before fee reductions are granted.
5.) Life-Safety Incentive Programs
Water Tap Refund Program: The City of San Angelo will pay up to 75% of costs associated with
installation of a new water service tap onto a public water main if the proposed tap is for the purpose

39. V. Consideration and possible action regarding a revision to the North Angelo
Redevelopment Incentives Program policy guidelines to alter the asbestos
abatement incentive to 50% matching funds incentive with the maximum TIRZ
expenditure to be $10,000.00.
Bob Schneeman also presented this item. He explained that a minor change is
being proposed for the asbestos abatement incentive to make the criteria match
the criteria for the downtown area. The linear formula originally used had been
changed to a percentage for the downtown area, and staff is suggesting this
change also be made for the North Angelo Redevelopment Incentives Program
area to maintain consistency.
John Calvert joined the meeting at 12:05 pm.
Shawn Lewis, Director of Community and Economic Development, made
additional comments in support of this change.
The Chairman stated he found $10,000 to be too low of a dollar amount for this
type of incentive. This type of incentive should be applied very liberally in the
North area of the TIRZ. Bob Schneeman explained that this contingency was built
into the guidelines currently, allowing a higher amount to be requested on a case-
by-case basis. The Chairman went on to say that he noticed $15,000 is the cap in
the downtown area. He feels $20,000 would be a more appropriate figure, but
that there should be an equal cap in both the South and North districts.
Roger Allen asked if this contingency (considering a case-by-case basis) was built
into the South or Downtown area guidelines.
William Dendle suggested consistency as well.
Motion, to alter the asbestos abatement incentive to 50% matching funds with the
addition of an increase to $15,000 for the maximum expenditure, was made by
William Dendle and seconded by David Mazur. This motion passed unanimously,
8-0.
VI. Consideration of approving expenditure of up to $10,000 for consultant services
for updating the Letter of No Prejudice (LONP) in order to capture value
associated with the Downtown Pedestrian Improvement Plan to be used in the
future for cash match for future federal and state grants.
Shawn Lewis came forward to present this item. He began by reiterating that a
potential $2 million dollars would be obtained for the streetscaping project. There
are a number of planned projects along the Chadbourne corridor, with hopes for
future projects in other areas. Staff wants to make sure that the appropriate
documentation is completed in order to capture the value of the current projects to
use as a local match for future projects. The government allows this to occur
through the LONP, with certain restrictions, such as proximity to transit stops. In
some cases, this would even allow a cash reimbursement to the TIRZ fund. Lee
Pfluger, Genora Young from Downtown San Angelo, and staff members attended
2
40. a recent meeting with the Goodman Corporation, who is retained by the Council of
Governments (COG) in order to compose this LONP.
The Chairman explained that the TIRZ board is being asked to contribute $10,000
of the $50,000 it will take to obtain this LONP and have it submitted. He added
that there wouldn’t be more money in the South zone for some time, but that this
could be used in conjunction with the projects in the North.
Mr. Lewis showed a map illustrating the 2009, 2010, and 2011 New Freedom
Grant-funded projects, in addition to the bounds of the 2007 and 2010 LONP.
When the most recent LONP was completed, some of the corridor for North/South
Chadbourne Street was left out of the LONP area. By completing this now, these
areas can now be included into the total area. This action can assist not only with
new streetscape projects, but also with bus stops and the like for CVTD. The
$10,000 is proposed to be split proportionally between the North and South areas.
Roger Allen asked if the LONP has an expiration date; Mr. Lewis explained that
the LONP would be in effect for a five-year period.
Rod Villegas asked if all future projects would be captured as part of this LONP.
Mr. Lewis responded by saying that anything related to the transit system; for
example, anything that makes use of the transit more appealing or enhances
pedestrian activity would be applicable. The City Engineer is currently preparing
an exhaustive list of City projects that also lend itself to this end.
Motion, to approve as presented with a proportionate amount split between the
North and South, was made by Lee Pfluger and seconded by Mike Campbell. The
motion passed unanimously, 8-0.
VII. Consideration and possible action regarding matters related to the New Freedom
2012 Grant application for pedestrian improvements along North Chadbourne in
the amount of $235,000, including consideration of approving the expenditure of
$57,869 in matching funds from North TIRZ.
The Chairman started by discussing the discount through which the Goodman
Corporation has been used by TIRZ as a result of the COG largely being
responsible for their reimbursement. Mr. Lewis explained that a grant total of
$235,000, with a grant match required of $57,869. If the next grant is obtained,
an area from 3rd Street to 20th Street could be completed. William Dendle asked
about the past prioritization of the intersections; Mr. Lewis explained that the grant
funding, as staff has learned from going through this process before, only covers
the base models for items, during which TIRZ dollars can enhance those basic
models of improvements. Mr. Lewis went on to add that the pricing from 14th
Street improvements will likely be more than the pricing for this project, as lessons
learned regarding existing infrastructure and the preservation of it will help to
lower the cost.
William Dendle also mentioned some of the features of the design at 19th Street,
noting that not all partners in the preservation and upkeep of the grass in that
3
41. location appeared to be participating. Mr. Lewis talked about the possibility of
using artificial turf or an alternate material instead of the grass. He also pointed
out some of the brick motif, planter spacing, and some of the other features that
would be carried through to this project.
Bob Pfluger clarified that the $235,000 grant amount would not necessarily cover
the entire project; the TIRZ will likely need to contribute additional funding to
complete it. Mr. Lewis talked about the economies of scale that doing a larger
project could help with costs.
Jerry Sea, with WTOS, came forward to speak on this item. He was interested in
knowing how the parking will be handled. Shawn Lewis responded that the
current parking will likely not be changed; along much of Chadbourne, there is
parallel parking. There are no plans for drastic changes that would negatively
impact the businesses in this area.
Motion, to approve as presented, was made by Mike Campbell and seconded by
Roger Allen. The motion passed unanimously, 8-0.
VIII. Status report and overview regarding façade grants and other incentive
projects in the north and south TIRZ.
The Chairman noted prior to the presentation that a comment had been made
earlier regarding the 18 th – 20th Street intersection project. Two of the signs were
lost and so the sign maker has taken them all down to install new stainless steel
grommets that will be stronger and work better for the signage. Mr. Lewis also
mentioned that an “Addy” award was received for the design of these signs by
Sharon Flippin, who designed them.
Bob Schneeman addressed this item. He distributed two copies of the grant
tracker sheets for the former NARG program as well as the current NARI and
Downtown Incentives programs. Copies of these documents are included with the
minute record. Mr. Schneeman reviewed the totals from these documents. He
explained the various stages of the process. Bob Pfluger asked what lessons
were being learned from these incentive projects. Mr. Schneeman replied that
there are obvious cues about what is popular; for example, asbestos funds tend to
garner enthusiastic responses.
Shawn Lewis mentioned that federal funding had been used as much as possible
for façade renovations; however, now this funding source is not available and
willing to fund this project over other projects.
