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 …

Above the garage will be a guest house to be used primarily by the property owner’s adult children.

The property meets the intent of the SF-3 zoning district and it is surrounded by existing single-family residential uses and will maintain single-family neighborhood characteristics. The lot under consideration is 1.48 acres and currently does not meet the minimum lot size requirements for the existing DR zoning of 10 acres.
