Austin Music Venue Preservation EDI Overlay Background In passing several music and arts resolutions in the last six years, the City of Austin committed itself to being at the forefront of a national conversation about how music, arts and cultural organizations can and should reflect and embrace diversity in all the ways it is experienced and understood, in all communities across the city. In a follow-up report to the Omnibus Resolution that was passed by city council on March 3, 2016, the Mayor’s working group recommended the integration of arts, music and culture and equity, diversity, and inclusion in all policies, and as a core value across departments and operations. The Mayor’s working group noted the following: Despite great efforts to foster inclusion and diversity in City benefitted programming, we find that equity, diversity, and inclusion remains under emphasized in the arts/music/culture arena. The first set of Music and Creative Ecosystem Stabilization Recommendations from the June 2016 staff Omnibus report have limited mention of equity, diversity, and inclusion in their set of recommendations. We found difficulty in truly representing Austin’s diversity in the composition of our working groups. Moving forward, in these recommendations it is crucial that we approach implementation through an equity, diversity, and inclusion lens, applying a critical equity filter upon each recommendation prior to implementation. Further, we urge the City of Austin to adopt equity, diversity, and inclusion in all policies and as a core value across departments and operations along with music, arts, and culture. The initiation of these changes should include a timeline with metrics and goals that support the integration of equity, diversity, and inclusion as described by 2021. The challenges for a commercial music industry in Austin that is a portrait of inequality, in a city known as the most economically segregated in the U.S., are myriad. ● Communities of color, each facing unique barriers to opportunity, are underrepresented in the Austin music economy. ● The historical lack of representation of people of color in Austin music and systemic inequities inhibits participation, creating less access and a lack of ownership, professional networks and mentorship, audience and genre development, physical spaces and platforms to explore. ● The white dominant culture in Austin music has historically undervalued people of color and has blocked career pathways in live music, from performance to talent buying to event promoting. The last Austin Music Census showed that small percentages …
Austin Music Commission - Music Venue Preservation Working Group’s Recommendation To the Economic Development Department and the Austin City Council (to be ratified Wed, Sep 30th) ARTICLE I: Music Venue Preservation Funding (1) Dedicated Music Venue Preservation Funding, known hereafter as “MVP,” should include programs that include a dedicated and exclusive Music Venues fund, as well as Legacy Businesses (i.e. 10-20 years in operation) - recognizing the central importance of music’s long standing contribution of cultural and economic value for the “Live Music Capital of the World.” ARTICLE II: Purpose (1) Mission The purpose of the MVP is to retain and preserve music venues with the outcome of both a sustainable music ecosystem and preservation of the music sector to assist Austin’s fast economic recovery. (2) Purpose Specific purposes for the MVP should include the following: Improve quality of life Economic development for small businesses - Prevention of iconic business closures - - - Culture/cultural retention & enhancement - Audience/workforce development. - Support Austin in fully-embracing its status as a music “world brand.” (3) Equity a) Racial "Racial Equity is the condition when race no longer predicts a person’s quality of life outcomes in our community.

4010 Avenue H Window Supplement Owner Overview In purchasing 4010 Avenue H we had full knowledge of its historical status and specifically engaged an architect and GC with experience restoring older, historical homes. Our intention is to restore as much as possible and ensure the house is functional not only now but for the next several decades. In evaluating the house during the planning process, it has become apparent that the condition of the windows is incredibly poor and restoring may not be a viable option. The original windows are primed wood with a weight and pulley system. The glass is single pane. The nylon ropes are either ripped or in very weak condition throughout. The frames on the outside are rotted and the glazing is failing. There is also significant wood rotting to the grilles and rail / sash. These issues are significant and apply to every window in the house. Our hope was to find a handful of windows that could be salvaged, but all of them are in the bad shape. We’re proposing replacing these original windows with double hung aluminum clad wood windows in the same design as the existing. The home’s windows are covered by screens that the we intend to replace with similar due to significant rotting. As a result of these screens being mounted in front of the windows, the glazing on the windows is always obscured when viewing from the exterior. If we match the existing window style, mullion pattern and proportions (which we intend to do), the view of the house from the street will be unchanged.

From Lindsay Shillington Via email 9/10/2020 We are proposing to replace the existing windows. The window survey (hot off the press!) is attached. Since we last spoke the owners have selected a builder, Michael Curlee. Michael had his window guy, Glenn Geydos, come take a look at the windows and make a recommendation based on their condition. Glenn's take was as follows: "Original windows are primed wood with weight and pulley systems. Glass is single pane and they are falling apart. The glass is the least efficient it can possibly be. The nylon ropes are ripped and some will need to be redone. The frames on the outside are rotted in the majority of them and the glazing is failing and falling apart. It will cost you twice what new windows will cost to repair them and thats IF you can find someone to do it. Attach those pics we took today so the Hyde Park people can see what you are looking at. I am all for saving the original windows when that is a cost effective measure. In your case it would be a mistake. There are far too many major issues with these windows. You also clearly have water issues inside the walls......." I shared photos of the windows with John Hindman at Red River Restorations to get his input on what it would take to restore them. John said the windows have been neglected and restoration would require extensive work. He mentioned the 6/6 configuration makes the windows more difficult and more expensive to restore vs. a standard 1/1. The cost would be at least 2x a replacement window and candidly the cost is not financially feasible for the owner. We would like to install aluminum clad wood windows that match the existing. We are working with a rep to find a window that has the same sash, mullion & muntin dimensions and is in our budget. We are having the wood screens rebuilt. Both the glazing and the surface of the window are obscured by the screens. Because we will be diligent about matching the existing window profile, the view from the street will remain unchanged.
