March 05, 2024 Re: 4601 Chiappero Trail renovations David and Emily Tucker: Thank you for recently sharing your latest remodel/renovation plans for our old family home at 4601 Chiappero Trail in Austin that you purchased from us a couple of years ago. We can see that you have again invested considerable time, energy, and passion into your plans to modernize the home to accommodate your family's needs, while paying tribute to our father's original 1960 Mid Century Modern design. We especially are in favor of keeping the front elevation mostly true to the original design. Our preferences would be to retain all the original ledgestone and redwood siding on those portions of the house visible from the curb. As discussed, my father's original intention was to leave the redwood untreated and allow it to naturally weather to a gray color. Unfortunately the original builders errantly applied a "redwood" stain to the redwood. The effects of the stain can be mitigated by following recommendations from the California Redwood Association (attached). We are in favor of your plans to retain the ledgestone planter and chimney, as well as to retain the ledgestone on the interior walls (entry/dining and the hearth wall). And we would also be in favor of retaining the original jalousie windows on the living room wall facing the street, acknowledging that they are not energy efficient. In regards to the spiral staircase on the front of the house, our parents added it as a cosmetic feature in the mid-1990s, so it is neither part of the original design nor MCM. Repurposing the staircase to the backyard studio concept or elsewhere would be appropriate in our opinion. Best regards - Robin Willhoite. cell (936) 462-34

EMMA S. BARRIENTOS MEXICAN AMERICAN CULTURAL CENTER ADVISORY BOARD RECOMMENDATION 20240306-5, 6, 7 Seconded By: Date: March 6, 2024 Subject: FY2025 Budget Recommendations Motioned By: Recommendation The Emma S. Barrientos Mexican American Advisory Board (MACC) recommends the City Council direct the City Manager to take the following actions and to allocate additional funds for the following items for FY 2025. These recommendations include actions that can be taken immediately outside the budget process and recommendations for the FY 2025 budget: Description of Recommendation to Council 1. 2. 3. Allocate the funding requested for the MACC’s Phase 2 FY25 operating expenses. Support funding for the Bronze Community Band Project in the amount of $3,000. Support funding for the Academia Cuauhtli’s FY25 operating expenses in the amount of $140,000. Rationale: Phase 2 Operating Budget In 2018 a comprehensive community engagement was completed as part of the Facility Expansion Plan which included community members and Austin City Council members. The Austin City Council unanimously voted to adopt the 2018 Facility Expansion Plan on May 24, 2018, with the intent to complete all remaining phases without preconditions on funding sources. The 2018 Bond Committee recommended, and Austin City Council approved $27 million to be included under Proposition B for the ESB-MACC Phase 2 project. 74 percent of voters in the 2018 election voted in favor of Proposition B. The Joint Venture team of Miro Rivera Architects (Austin) and Estudio Tatiana Bilbao (Mexico City) was selected to lead the Phase 2 design in part because of their experience designing world-class facilities. The project team has been diligently working on completing the project slated for completion in the Fall of 2025. In order for the facility to be fully operational on day one, the operating budget needs to be increased to support the additional 19,000 square feet as well as the new and renovated program spaces. The Mexican American Cultural Center Advisory Board recommends to the Austin City Council to allocate the necessary amount needed for the Phase 2 operating budget in order to fulfill the commitment by the City of Austin to complete a Phase 2 expansion and renovation that is commensurate with a world- class cultural center that continues to be a reflection of the strength and resiliency of Austin’s Mexican American community. 1 of 3 Bronze Community Band Project The Bronze Community Band provides culturally relevant music education rooted in community-based practice in …
