McKinney Street Denton, Texas www.cityofdenton.com _____________________________________________________________________________________ AGENDA INFORMATION SHEET DEPARTMENT: Economic Development CM/ DCM/ ACM: Bryan Langley DATE: February 4, 2019 SUBJECT the Texas Commission on the Arts Cultural Districts Program. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Between May and August, an informal group of stakeholders met several times to discuss the idea of a cultural district in Denton and some of the details necessary for formation. The 2019 cultural district application cycle began in January with the submission of a letter of intent and ends in June with submission of the full application. While staff can complete portions of the application, a consultant will need to be engaged to assist with certain critical components. Prior to work beginning on the application, staff needs further direction from Council on the boundaries of the cultural district, the composition and structure of the cultural district committee, and a budget for startup costs. BACKGROUND Program. Council expressed interest in the program, and directed staff to begin next steps, including: Researching cultural districts in other communities Gauging interest of key stakeholders in participating in the cultural district planning/formation process Determining possible boundaries of a cultural district Determining level of funding, funding sources, and staff resources necessary to form and maintain district Developing an initial plan and timeline for application Staff researched eight existing cultural districts in DFW and other areas of the state. The formation process, funding, management, and goals of these districts vary widely. Between May and August, an informal group of stakeholders met several times to discuss the idea of a cultural district in Denton and some of the details necessary for formation. These stakeholders included artists, musicians, business owners, developers, historic property owners, and representatives from UNT, TWU, Greater Denton Arts Council, and the Convention and Visitors Bureau. Staff from Economic Development led the meetings, and Development Services staff also attended. The first meeting involved a discussion of the statewide cultural district program, possible boundaries for the district, and a brainstorming session on a cultural asset inventory within the proposed boundaries. The second meeting covered possible district names, along with potential mission and vision statements. The third meeting concerned the structure and composition of a cultural district committee, pre-application community engagement, a SWOT analysis, and budget considerations. The cultural district application cycle requires a letter of intent due January 30, 2019. The completed application is due June 17, 2019. The application form is attached as Exhibit 2. While staff can complete certain portions of the application, a consultant will need to be engaged to facilitate the necessary public meetings and focus groups, develop a detailed cultural district plan, and assist with the development of a detailed cultural district marketing plan, all of which are necessary for the application. Staff estimates the consulting and other startup costs will not exceed $25,000. Staff is seeking Council direction on the boundaries of the cultural district (Exhibit 3) and whether the cultural district governance should be handled by the existing Public Art Committee or a new cultural district committee. Background on the Cultural Districts Program th The 79 Texas Legislature authorized the Texas Commission on the Arts to designate cultural districts in cities across the state. Cultural districts are special zones that harness the power of cultural resources to stimulate economic development and community revitalization. These districts can become focal points for generating businesses, attracting tourists, stimulating cultural development, and fostering civic pride. Designated cultural districts are eligible for grant funding from TCA for cultural tourism projects. Cultural districts are formed around an existing concentration walkable area that a city wants to promote to visitors and residents. Cultural assets include performances and exhibitions, creative activity, architecture, and historical offerings. Cultural districts do not obligate property owners within the district to any type of additional regulations. Thirty communities ranging in size from Houston to Alpine have cultural districts. The application process through TCA is done on an annual basis, and not every application is approved. In-depth planning is required prior to the application being submitted, and support from local political and arts leaders is critical. The application requires that the communi district must be submitted to TCA and reapplication is required every 10 years. Some communities designate cultural districts at the local level instead of through TCA, which negates the need for the application and annual reporting process. This could be accomplished via a Council resolution designating the district. However, a cultural district with a local designation alone is not eligible to apply for TCA grants. Two communities, Texarkana and Dallas, designated local cultural districts first and then applied to the TCA in later years. r projects that focus on significant considered; a dollar-for-dollar match is required. Eligible categories include: High-quality arts programming that will attract a significant number of visitors from 50 miles or more outside the community Enhancements to the cultural district to make it more accessible, attractive, cohesive-looking, and safe for visitors Improved signage and wayfinding for the district Organizational support for the management and operations of the district TCA administrators have identified the following common traits among successful cultural districts that may serve as indicators of potential success in new districts: Unique and authentic identity Political and community support Strategic partnerships Inclusive cultural strategic planning Artists are partners Sustainable artist live/work spaces Anchor institutions and special events Strong amenities Local developer/s committed to the cultural district Marketing and promotion efforts ESTIMATED SCHEDULE OF PROJECT The following is an approximate timeline of the steps needed to complete the application: January 30, 2019 deadline to submit letter of intent (COMPLETE) Mid-February consultant engaged March public meetings and focus groups April/May/June development of cultural district plan and marketing plan; completion of application June 17 deadline to submit completed application July TCA evaluation panel reviews applications August recommendation to the TCA Commissioners September TCA Commissioners hold final vote to create new districts; official public announcements of new districts Post-announcement local recognition of district; local governance begins PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (Council, Boards, Commissions) February 2018 work session with Council on the Cultural Districts Program. FISCAL INFORMATION Staff estimates consultant fees and other startup costs will not exceed $25,000.

BACKGROUND In preparation for the upcoming May 4 municipal election, staff is seeking further direction from the City Council on the number and location of Election Day polling locations. On January 7, staff presented information about Election Day polling locations and received direction to have 2 polling locations per City Council District, with a general consensus provided to maintain the same polling locations used for the May 2018 municipal elections. The table below lists the City of Dentons May 2018 polling locations by district. District 2018 Polling Location MLK Recreation Center 1 Pecan Creek Elementary North Branch Library 2 Billy Ryan High North Lakes Recreation Center 3 Fire Station 7 Denia Recreation Center 4 LA Nelson Elementary Using the direction provided on January 7, staff contacted the 2018 polling locations to confirm availability to serve as a polling location for the May 4, 2019 municipal election. All locations, with the exception of Ryan High School are available to serve as a polling location on May 4. Ryan High School is not available because several student activities and sporting events are planned for May 4, which will severely limit parking availability for voters. The Denton Independent School District (DISD) Annex Building, located at 230 N. Mayhill Road is available to serve as a polling location on May 4. The DISD Annex has ample parking and, is located in very close proximity to Ryan High School, and would cover the same precincts thatvoted at Ryan High School in 2018. The table below lists the proposed May 4, 2019 polling locations: District Proposed 2019 Polling Location MLK Recreation Center 1 Pecan Creek Elementary North Branch Library 2 DISD Annex North Lakes Recreation Center 3 Fire Station 7 Denia Recreation Center 4 LA Nelson Elementary On February 5 the City Council will consider the adoption of a resolution authorizing Election Day polling locations for the May 4 election. As in previous years, voters in each City Council district will be assigned to a specific Election Day polling location based on their County precinct. During early voting, voters will be able to vote at any location in Denton County. Denton County determines locations for early voting, the list of early voting locations will be made available in March 2019.
