The NRP outlines the city’s plan to revitalize neighborhoods that have become distressed

areas of each neighborhood that are congruent and integral parts of each neighborhood but were
inadvertently omitted. Staff is requesting approval to increase the areas of Reagan and Ft Concho to
adjust the revitalization areas appropriately.

Neighborhood Revitalization Plan
Neighborhood & Family Services Department
January, 2005
Updated: December, 2013

12. INTRODUCTION
In 2005, the City of San Angelo undertook an effort to identify the most deteriorated
neighborhoods and develop a strategy and plan to revitalize those neighborhoods. The goal of
the city’s Neighborhood Revitalization Program is to make a positive impact on those
neighborhoods in terms of crime rate, property values, new home starts, code compliance,
elimination of slum and blight and overall homeownership issues.
Indeed, cities across the nation are realizing the benefits of eliminating slum and blight and
redeveloping in areas long neglected and allowed to fall into ruin. Cities such as Philadelphia,
Richmond, and Baltimore have invested heavily in redevelopment efforts and all three have
reported significant economic impact not only in the targeted neighborhoods, but in nearby
neighborhoods due to the spillover effect. Although it takes years for a city’s revitalization
investments to bear fruit, San Angelo has already seen benefits in its efforts to clean up and
redevelop aging and neglected neighborhoods. These benefits include:





Increased property values
Increased sales of existing homes
More residents improving their homes
Reduced crime rate
Fewer code compliance complaints
In addition to tangible benefits, there are intangible benefits that are just as important such as
pride of homeownership and being part of a neighborhood.
Baseline Neighborhood Survey: To start the process, the city’s Community Development
Department executed a survey to help identify the most deteriorated neighborhoods in need of
revitalization. The survey included the following key factors:










Condition of the housing stock
Crime rate and law enforcement
Infrastructure
Employment opportunities
Presence of slum and blight
Recreational and public facilities
Outdoor parks
Neighborhood shopping (food stores, eating establishments, etc)
Churches and social gathering facilities
Medical services
Based on citizen input, research, and a windshield survey, staff identified four areas that needed
the most attention. These areas are: Blackshear, Reagan, Ft Concho, and Rio Vista.
These four neighborhoods showed signs of slum & blight, high crime, few parks and
recreational facilities, non-existing medical facilities, few employment opportunities, and very
few stores in the neighborhoods. In addition, streets were in very poor condition, no sidewalks
and in some areas, no stop signs or other traffic control signs. The survey found the housing
stock in these areas outdated with a high rate of deteriorated homes.

13. PLANNING PROCESS
The planning process for the development of the NRP began with several public meetings to
help identify the problem and get buy in from the citizens. An initial list of stakeholders was
created with staff for use in development of a steering committee. The list included
representatives from a grass roots citizens group called the West Texas Organizing Strategy
(WTOS), city departments including Planning, Police Dept, Community Development, Health,
Parks; and non-profit agencies to include Galilee Community Development Corporation, Habitat
for Humanity, Keep San Angelo Beautiful, Public Housing Authority, and the United Way. The
committee was chaired by the Mayor and attended by several members of City Council. The
Steering Committee developed goals & objectives and outlined a strategy to achieve those
goals & objectives.
Goals and objectives:
•
•
•
•
•
Select target neighborhoods
o Conduct appropriate research, including a windshield survey to identify
neighborhoods in need, access Census data
Collaborate with planning information & priorities within participating organizations
Eliminate slum and blight throughout San Angelo

Strategy:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Ensure all available resources are brought to bear in targeted neighborhoods
o CDBG, HOME, LIHTC, EDI, Economic Development Sales Tax, etc
Combine individual entities’ efforts in Neighborhood Revitalization

Develop and support programs such as housing and infrastructure programs that target
those neighborhoods
o Neighborhood Blitzes

14. After the plan was developed, the steering committee held several public meetings to announce
the plan and allow for citizen review. With overwhelming support, the plan was set in motion led
by the Community Development Dept (now named Neighborhood & Family Services Dept).
The plan is a living document that is reviewed and updated as necessary.

16. AREA HISTORY
The revitalization of San Angelo’s older neighborhoods has been an ongoing effort for the past
20 years.
Most of these early revitalization efforts were centered on affordable housing
managed by a few organizations whose mission was and still is to increase the affordable
housing stock through rehabilitation of existing homes and the construction of new ones.
The city entered the game with the onset of the CDBG in the mid 1970’s and later with the
HOME grant in the early 1990’s. Community Development projects started mostly in the Rio
Vista area but slowly expanded across the city with several thousand home rehabs, emergency
repairs and dozens of new home construction projects.
In conjunction with the city, several non-profits developed a presence and became part of the
city’s revitalization effort. One of the first affordable housing non-profits to organize in San
Angelo was Christmas in April, now called Rebuilding Together, (RT) which began operating 20
years ago. Since then, RT has repaired/renovated over 1,200 homes across the city for elderly
and/or disabled citizens. Although RT has since disbanded, a new non-profit named Helping
Hands which is affiliated with Galilee CDC has taken its place.
Another partner in affordable housing is Habitat for Humanity which came to San Angelo in
1994. Since then, they have constructed or renovated 56 homes and are ready to build several
more in the upcoming years.
The Public Housing Authority (PHA) has been in existence in San Angelo since 1975. Where
Community Development is centered around home-ownership, PHA’s mission is rental
assistance. They manage 398 rental units and allocate over 700 housing vouchers annually.
The newest affordable housing partner to come onto the scene is Galilee Community
Development Corporation. Although relatively new, Galilee CDC has built 18 new homes and
continues to press forward on new projects.
Neighborhood revitalization was status quo for much of its history with unfocused and divergent
efforts being carried out throughout the city. However, in 2006 a new spirit of cooperation
began to spring up among stakeholders and a series of events occurred that changed the
dynamics and environment.
There are many other important events that have further accelerated the revitalization program.
These include the demolition of over 40 substandard and dilapidated homes in Rio Vista and
Blackshear by the National Guard as part of Operation Crackdown, the creation of a first time
homebuyers assistance program, the passage of a ½ cent sales tax (part of which earmarks
funds for affordable housing), and the city’s commitment to infrastructure improvements
including: repaving streets, constructing sidewalks, cleaning out washouts like the Red Arroyo,
replacing street lights, and improving parks.
Code Compliance took an aggressive posture in these areas, citing over 10,000 violations since
2005. This led to more compliance awareness among the residents of those neighborhoods and
less complaints from neighbors. Also, WTOS logged over 9,000 man-hours in political
advocacy, community organization activities, and hands on work that included KSAB clean-up
events, distributing material for the city, and other in-kind assistance in support of the
Revitalization Program.

17. In the past couple of years, we have seen other special efforts in support of the revitalization
program. With Council approval, the city carried out two paint and cleanup blitzes, painting 127
homes and picking up over 600 tons of trash. The San Angelo Health Foundation and SADC
also allocated $200,000 each to replace roofs in the target neighborhoods.
Private investments have also aided the revitalization program. Some of these projects are the
120-unit River Place apartments for elderly in the Ft Concho area, and the renovation of the
Nueva Vista apartments and the potential Blackshear Homes development in the Blackshear
target area.
Housing Coalition Accomplishments since 2006:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
682 homes repaired/remodeled
98 new homes constructed
108 minor repairs for elderly/disabled citizens
169 substandard structures demolished
46 new homebuyers assisted
64 roof replacements
26,780 square yards of sidewalks built
155,724 square yards of street paving
Although the city and its partners have expended approximately $2.3M since 2006 for the
construction of new homes, housing remodels, repairs and infrastructure improvements, these
investments have yielded over $1.1M in mortgages generated by local banks and the city
expects to receive over $245K in program income which will generate additional loans. Private
companies have invested over $20M in the construction of new housing units and renovation of
existing complexes. These private efforts, along with the introduction of economic improvement
zones adjacent to the targeted areas will not only increase economic vitality and provide
economic opportunities in the future, but also help expand development and growth across the
city.
PROGRAMS
The City’s Community & Housing Support Division, manages the HUD funded Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) and the Home Investment Partnership Program (HOME)
grant.
These two grants have historically been the funding foundation of the City’s
neighborhood revitalization efforts. However, over the past four years, cooperation among the
non-profit housing organizations including Rebuilding Together, Galilee Community
Development Corporation and Habitat for Humanity have forged housing partnerships which
have allowed the City to leverage resources and expertise from these partners for the
betterment of the community. Moreover, non-housing agencies such as City of San Angelo
Code Compliance, Police Department, Fire Prevention, Engineering Services, Keep San
Angelo Beautiful, San Angelo Development Corporation (SADC), San Angelo Health
Foundation, the West Texas Organizing Strategy (WTOS), and private companies have played
an important role in the City’s revitalization efforts. This ad hoc coalition of vested stakeholders
has supported each other and pushed up the level of activity in all the targeted neighborhoods.
Several housing and non-housing programs and projects make up the bulk of the neighborhood
revitalization plan and strategy. These programs/projects include:

DEMOGRAPHICS
The City of San Angelo covers 58.61 square miles in Tom Green County, Texas. The 2000
U.S. Census reports a total population for the City of 88,439. Additionally, the Census reports
there are 37,699 housing units in San Angelo, with 34,006 or 90.2% of the housing units
occupied and 3,693 or 9.8% of them vacant. Of the 34,006 occupied units, 20,677 or 60.8% are
owner-occupied and 13,329 or 39.2% are renter occupied. Anglos occupy 27,702 or 81.5% of
the occupied housing units and 8,895 or 26.2% of occupied housing units are occupied by
householders of Hispanic ethnicity of any race.
Areas with high concentrations of low income households are defined as block groups with 51%
or more of the population falling below 80% of the area median family income. According to
2000 Census information, the City of San Angelo has significant areas with concentrations of
low income households in all quadrants of the City, with the heaviest concentrations in the
neighborhoods targeted for revitalization. New areas of high concentrations of low income
households include Census Tract/Block Groups as follows: 12/1 in the northwest; 2/1 and 2/3 in
the north, 3/3, 7/2, and 8/3 in the northwest; 11.02/1, 11.02/6 and increased area in 6/1 in the
central region of the city; 14/3 and 14/5 in the south; and 13.03/2 in the southwest. Census
Tract/Block Groups 4/7 in the north; 4/4 and 10/6 in the central region; and 12/6 in the west no
longer qualify as having 51% or more of the population falling below 80% of the area median
income.

Areas with high concentrations of minority population are defined as block groups consisting of
51% or more minority population. Areas of the City with higher concentrations of low-tomoderate income households typically tend to be the areas with the greatest concentrations of
minority populations. The largest concentrations of minority population are found in Census
Tracts 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, and 14. Certain of the Block Groups within these Census Tracts contain
high concentrations of Hispanic population. Further, these are also the Census Tracts with the
largest numbers and greatest percentages of low-to moderate income residents.

UTILITIES AND COMMUNITY INFRASTRUCTURE
Water and sewer service is presently extended to all four target neighborhoods. Presently the
water lines are owned by the City of San Angelo and all maintenance and improvements are
scheduled through the City. Sewer treatment is through the city as well. Sewer service billing is
included with the water bill and the monies collected for sewer usage is sent to the Water Fund.
Street and infrastructure improvements have increased over the past six years with 26,780
square yards of sidewalks built and 155,724 square yards of street paving. Street lights and
stop lights have also been installed providing the neighborhoods a safer environment.

23. FINAL THOUGHTS
When people organize, collect and analyze information, and become more knowledgeable
about their community they can be significant contributors to the revitalization of their
neighborhood. A diverse group of residents working together can generate creative approaches
to change, mobilize new assets and generate positive results. The people who live and work in
a neighborhood are excellent judges of their neighborhood's priorities, opportunities and needs.
The NRP provides a safe forum for all neighborhood voices to be heard. It also creates a
potentially beneficial opportunity for public officials and government staff to interact with the
people for whom they are working. This can lead to the reexamination of budget priorities and
new methods of delivering public services.
Neighborhood revitalization ultimately depends on a sense of neighborhood identity and a
commitment by residents to make their neighborhood a better place to live, work, learn and
play. The NRP gives neighborhood residents a framework for, and reasons to, come together to
create that commitment.
The impact of this comprehensive and coordinated effort by city staff, non-profits, citizen groups,
and private developers in the four target neighborhoods is substantial with steady growth in
several key areas to include new homes, major remodels, increase in property values, higher
home sales, and a decrease in the crime rate. Although the city’s revitalization program has
enjoyed success in the past few years, much work remains to be done. There are still sections
in these target neighborhoods that require increased investment to get them to a sustainable
level. It will take political will and resources to maintain the effort.
The city is fortunate to have a progressive City Council and City management that have
embraced neighborhood revitalization. It is this commitment from the city’s leadership that has
helped make the revitalization effort successful. City management at the highest levels has
encouraged city staff to work across departmental disciplines to streamline processes,
coordinate resources, and to develop partnerships with outside organizations unheard of in
other cities across the nation. These unique partnerships allow the city to benefit greatly from
this collaboration.
The City of San Angelo and its many partners can be proud of the accomplishments achieved in
recent years. The revitalization effort and its implementation provide an extraordinary example
of how collaborative partnerships - coalesced around a sound concept - can yield significant
economic benefit.

Consent Agenda
Consideration for authorizing the City Manager to enter into a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) with the West Texas Retired Senior Volunteer Program (West
Texas RSVP) to provide volunteer services for the City of San Angelo.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Summary:
On July 1, 2013, the Concho Valley RSVP and the Big Country RSVP
merged into one group now called the West Texas Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP).
The West Texas RSVP engages persons age 55 and older in volunteer service to meet
community needs and to enrich the lives of volunteers through public service. RSVP matches the
personal interests, skills and lifelong experiences with nonprofit organizations and public agencies
in need of volunteer services.
The merger of Concho Valley RSVP and Big Country RSVP effectively
History:
rendered the current memorandum of understanding with Concho Valley RSVP and the San
Angelo Police Department invalid. A new MOU is required to continue the partnership between
the West Texas RSVP and the San Angelo Police Department. The San Angelo Police
Department has, over the years, utilized these RSVP volunteers in a number of roles within
several police divisions i.e. community services; evidence; and criminal investigations. The
assistance provided by these volunteers has become critical for the successful deployment of the
police department mission. The number of hours provided by these volunteers would easily
require additional paid personnel.
The benefit of this partnership is mutual and has been determined that it could be beneficial within
other departments when the need for volunteers arises.
There is no adverse financial impact to the City. The services provided by
Financial Impact:
RSVP to the San Angelo Police Department would be equivalent to at least one fulltime employee.
This saves the creation of a position and approximately $33,500 in additional salary and benefits.

South Chadbourne Street is classified as
an “arterial” street" and is designed to
connect collector streets to freeways and
other arterials carrying large volumes of
traffic at high speeds.
Access is
secondary and mobility is the primary
function of these streets.
South Chadbourn Street, located to the
east of the subject property, is
approximately 70 feet wide. A fire hydrant
located approximately one foot from the
street curb on the west side of South
Chadbourne Street prevents parking in

33. Analysis:
front of the subject property. Given the
characteristics of the street and exclusion
of parking opportunities, placement of
seating and tables within the public rightof-way at the location in question would
most likely not pose a hazard to
pedestrians nor passing motorists.
The staff recommendation is based upon the statements listed below.
The applicant is seeking approval to allow existing non-permanently affixed
chairs and tables to remain in the public right-of-way located in front of the
applicant’s business. This right-of-way measures approximately 15 ¾ feet wide
from the building front to the street curb and 50 feet in length between the
northern and southern property lines. An awning, which was approved by City
Council in 2011 is attached to the front of the building, spanning the majority of
the building front and partially covers the sidewalk area.
In the Central Business District, buildings are allowed to be built to the front
property line. This is the only zoning district where such an allowance is made.
As such, outdoor seating is problematic unless it is allowed in the right-of-way.
On December 6, 2011, a resolution was adopted by City Council allowing similar
uses as the proposed at 123 South Chadbourne Street. Recently, the City has
been working on installing new sidewalk segments and also expanding current
sidewalks in areas that were previously too narrow for pedestrians. The ability to
provide outdoor café-type seating allows for social opportunities to the business’s
customers, yet also attracts pedestrians seeking respite from the direct natural
elements given the awning covering in addition to adding visual interest to the
streetscape that the City is working on.
Without approval, there are no feasible front outdoor seating options for the
applicant because the entryway, though partially recessed at the front doorway,
is not large enough for seating.
Section 4.803 of the Zoning Ordinance requires that sidewalks in front of
business houses shall be at least twelve feet (12’) wide. Because the sidewalk in
question is approximately 15 and ¾ feet wide from the building front to the street
curb this measurement exceeds the required amount and allows enough room to
accommodate seating for the outdoor café while still allowing for a 4 foot path,
which is considered adequate passage room for pedestrians. Therefore, staff
anticipates no foreseeable immediate danger to the area as a result of an
outdoor café in the public right-of-way and recommends approval of this request.

History and Background:
Prior to the mid-1970’s, Ben Ficklin Road was one of the main thoroughfares leading in
and out of the city to the south. The placement of South Bryant Boulevard bisected
sections of Ben Ficklin, rending portions of them unused.
The portion of Ben Ficklin Road that the applicant seeks to abandon is located east of
South Bryant Boulevard and west of the Century Park Addition, Lots 2-9 and the
northwest section of Lot 14. Sections of the Century Park Addition were platted in 1983,
including Lots 2-14, after the installation of South Bryant Boulevard and before an
abandonment of another segment of Ben Ficklin Road just north of the subject property
was approved on October 23, 1984.
The October 23, 1984, abandonment extends north from South Jackson Road and west
of the Theo Alexander Subdivision, Tract 1. The main argument for this closure of a
0.241 acre portion was essentially that traffic had increased over the years and what
was once an awkward intersection at South Bryant Boulevard and the newer sections of
South Jackson Street, this area became not only confusing but eventually dangerous,
resulting in 34 injuries from car accidents.

Special Information
Private Utilities:
AEP has an overhead electric line running
along the west line of this proposed
abandonment area. Therefore, a 20’ wide
easement needs to be reserved for this
existing line.

46. Basis for Recommendation
South Bryant Boulevard is identified on the Thoroughfare Plan as
an arterial. The minimum width required in the Subdivision
Ordinance of an arterial is 80 feet. Since South Bryant Boulevard
is approximately 150 feet wide, it clearly exceeds the minimum
width. Additionally, a review by Engineering staff reveals that there
are no future plans to restore this portion of Ben Ficklin Road and
add on to the width using this fragment of Ben Ficklin Road.
The abandonment of Ben Ficklin Road in 1984 to the north of the
property attests to the fact that the road is no longer viable, since
that portion confused motorists and accidents occurred until it was
abandoned. A better use of the land in question would be to
include it into a functioning commercial use since the Vision Plan
calls for the area to be commercial. Staff also notes that there is
no development in the area that would be adversely impacted by
this abandonment request.
It is important to note that there are some utilities present in this
abandonment area. The open and unobstructed easements,
recommended as staff conditions, alongside and through this
proposed abandonment are necessary so that growth to the east
and north of the property is not hindered in the future. Electric and
water are essential portions of any development on the
commercial or residential side and discontinuing their progress
northward will have serious implications on future development.
Open and unobstructed easements on and in the area of this
former street will need to be maintained so the facilities can be
accessed, upgraded, and repaired in the future. The easements
can be paved and parked over without any problem, however they
do need to be kept free from buildings, fences, and structures so
that future access can occur.
Depending on where future buildings are to be placed, additional
hydrants for firefighting may be installed as may be required for
compliance with standards of the International Fire Code, ensuring
adequate coverage for each new building site.
New business to the area would, no doubt, attract additional traffic.
This has been an option since the advent of the subdivision. Aside
from possible traffic that would be generated once a business
begins operating from the property, staff does not foresee any
major change to the area residents and properties should this
abandonment itself be approved.

47. In conclusion, by abandoning this segment of Ben Ficklin right-ofway, the property owner will be able to achieve a more cohesive
land use pattern, especially with an area replat which would be a
condition staff recommends at the end of this report. Since the
property is no longer necessary as a through street, staff has no
objections to this right-of-way being abandoned. It may be
incumbent upon the applicant, however, to approach the adjacent
property owner to this proposed abandonment should they desire
to purchase the adjacent property owner’s half.
Proposed Conditions
1. Maintain a 20' electric easement and right-of-way for existing
line, This easement area needs to be 20 feet in width, being 10
feet on each side of the centerline of the existing electric line.
2. Replat Lots 9-2 and abandoned right-of-way into a logical
configuration that falls in line with the development standards of
the Subdivision Ordinance.
3. Maintain a 20’ unobstructed utility easement running north and
south as depicted on the plat recorded in 1983.

Regular Item
Discussion and consideration of authorizing staff to negotiate an amendment to
the lease agreement between the City of San Angelo and Underwater Football,
LLC, d/b/a The San Angelo Bandits.
Summary:
Randy Sanders, owner of the San Angelo Bandits football team, submitted a request to
amend certain parts of their lease agreement with the City of San Angelo. During their
inaugural season, Mr. Sanders reported that the team lost approximately $138K
overall, which was greater than he anticipated.
History:
On January 7, 2013, the City Council unanimously authorized to adopt a resolution to
execute a three year lease agreement between the City and the San Angelo Bandits.
This agreement covered the 2013-2015 indoor football league seasons. The changes
proposed by Mr. Sanders were heard by the Civic Events advisory board on October
31, 2013. The board approved the requested changes, with the exception of the $750
rent which they recommended increasing to $1,000 a game.
Financial Impact:
This past season, the division netted approximately $12,200 in revenue during the
season. Lowering the rent and waiving concession fees will result in less revenue for
the Civic Events division. If we granted all of the changes requested by the Bandits, we
stand to lose approximately $8,900. If Council decided to take the Civic Events board
recommendation, then we stand to lose approximately $7,400.
Related Vision Item

Other Information/
Recommendation:
Staff is seeking direction from Council on how to proceed. We would like to assist
the Bandits but on the same note, we do not want to appear to subsidize the team
or jeopardize loss of revenue for the Civic Events operations.

changes are approved, Projected financials with Civic Events Board
recommendation, Civic Events board meeting minutes, Copy of current Lease

Mr. Rick Weise
COSA City of San Angelo
As per our phone conversation, I would like you and the City of San Angelo to
consider some changes to our current lease agreement for use of the Foster
Communications Coliseum for indoor football by the San Angelo Bandits. The
reason for the request to change the contract is the financial burden to the indoor
football team. The following changes we are asking to be considered.
RENT PER EVENT
The base rent per event in the 2014 season we would like to request it be reduced to
$ 750 per event as was the case with the previous indoor football team and increase
in the 2015 season and there after to $1000 per event. This will allow the team to
get back into a better financial position to allow for the increase in the second year.
The current rate we believe is for individual events and not for multiple event
promoters.
CONCESSION PERCENTAGE
The San Angelo Bandits would like to request that the minimum tickets/ attendance
requirements be removed and we share in the concession up side as per the current
contract. We received zero dollars this past season from all our efforts to re-launch
the team in San Angelo.
FEES DURING PRACTICES
The San Angelo Bandits are requesting that all fees be removed from the team
during practices. We will agree not to turn on the AC and will use only minimal
lighting during practices.
GAME DATES
The San Angelo Bandits would like the opportunity to waive the concessions
percentage for the city on two games per season. This will allow the concession
vendor to reduce the price of hot dogs ($1) & drinks ($2) and still pay their bills.
This would attract specific groups such as the military, city employees, etc. We will
work closely with COSA to schedule these dates and properly promote these two
events.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter and I look forward to future
discussions on these matters.

OPEN SESSION
A. Call to order: Mr. Zaruba called the meeting to order at 11:03 a.m.
B. Public comment: No public comment
II.
CONSENT AGENDA
1. Consideration of approving August 29, 2013 meeting minutes.
2. Presentation of November event calendar. Mrs. Jones made a motion
to approve the consent agenda as presented, Mr. Condon seconded. Mr.
Zaruba called for the vote, motion passed unanimously.
III.
REGULAR AGENDA: PUBLIC HEARING AND COMMENT
3. Consideration and discussion of a request from Randy Sanders,
owner of Underwater Football League, LLC, regarding potential
amendments to the 2013-2015 lease agreement with the City of San
Angelo for the upcoming football season (s) and any action in
connection thereto. Ms. Pena presented the background info and went
over the changes that Randy Sanders submitted for consideration. Ms.
Pena covered the figures on the 2013 season and presented the board
with several different options including lowering the rent, sharing in
concession proceeds, and allowing the Bandits to paint the locker room.
Staff proposed an option that Mr. Sanders and staff were agreeable upon
presenting, which included sharing concessions only when there were
1,500 people in attendance. Mr. Bankster asked if we had the number of

64. people that attended each game, roughly. Ms. Pena explained that the
attendance varied greatly each game, but averaged about 1,250
throughout the season. Mr. Bankster expressed that he felt the 1,500
attendance requirement was a bit high and was supportive of the 1,250
figure instead. Mrs. Jones mentioned that in her experience she does not
see where imposing a ticket minimum would be beneficial to share in
concessions. She recommends taking out the minimum all together. Ms.
Pena said from a City standpoint, staff favors having a minimum so that it
gives the promoter an incentive to market and get people into the arena.
Mr. Condon asked how much tickets were this past season and Ms. Pena
replied that the prices varied from $5 for children all the way up to $26.50
for box seats. Ms. Pena mentioned that in discussions with Mr. Sanders,
they are looking toward implementing a one price general admission seat
for the upcoming season. Mr. Condon said he would like to see the
Bandits stay however he doesn’t feel that the City should lose money in
order to do so. Mrs. Jones asked if staff had a cost breakdown of the field
set up and mentioned that it only takes half a day to set up the field. Ms.
Pena explained that it takes longer than that when the pads, bumpers, and
entire field are taken up and Ms. Jones agreed. Ms. Pena explained that in
the upcoming year there are several events that conflict with the game
days and there will be many occasions that the field will have to be set up
and taken down immediately before and after a game, which adds to the
game day cost. Mrs. Jones said she knows that the City Council has made
it clear that they will not subsidize sports but thinks they would support
keeping the Bandits here so that citizens will stay in town rather than go to
out of town sporting events. Mr. Condon mentioned that he is supportive
of running two concession promotions and feels that alone would attract
more people. Mrs. Jones commended the Civic Events staff for the
remarkable job they do when it comes to setting up and tearing down the
field. Mr. Condon asked if the field was rented and Ms. Pena explained
that Mr. Sanders owns the field and that it is stored year round by the City,
per our agreement. Mr. Zaruba called for public comment on the item and
Mr. Sanders, owner of the Bandits, came to the podium. He mentioned
that early on in the negotiation process with Carl, there were several items
in the contract that he settled on just to get the contract going but he made
it known that he would go back to Council asking for changes to be made.
He said he lost approximately $138K this past year entertaining San
Angelo and he said his goal with football is to simply break even. He
further explained that he has established himself in the community by
purchasing a home and a restaurant here in San Angelo. He has also
brought Tim White on his team to help him with sponsorships and with the
team in general. He went over his ideas on future promotions for each
game. Mr. Condon asked how much the Bandits lost this past season, and
asked if it was more or less than Mr. Sanders anticipated to lose. Mr.
Sanders said he lost $138K and that was $18K more than he anticipated
losing. He further mentioned that he owns half of the Abilene and Amarillo

65. teams. Mr. Condon asked if Mr. Sanders felt that the Bandits would do
better this year. Mr. Sanders said he does think they will do better this
next season. He explained that he spent the first year building the team
and spent a lot of time training staff. Next year he will be able to
concentrate on sales and marketing. Mr. Condon said he feels if Civic
Events breaks even, he would be happy. Mr. Sanders mentioned future
plans for indoor soccer and ice hockey but also stated that if football is not
economical to sustain, then he would have to take the team elsewhere.
Mr. Condon asked if the figures he had in his board background packets
were projections or actual. Ms. Pena explained that they were actual costs
to the City. Mr. Condon asked how San Angelo Host felt about negotiating
concessions. Ms. Pena explained that the concession in question were the
City’s portion and would not affect what SA Host pays to the City. Mr.
Banskter asked if Mr. Sanders would be agreeable to the 1,500 or the
1,250 attendance number to share in concessions. Mr. Sanders said he
always felt that the drop count was off which is a problem in most arenas
which is why everyone is converting to digital scanners. Mr. Sanders said
as far as the attendance number he was comfortable with whatever the
board would allow him. Mrs. Jones said she favors removing the
attendance requirement to share in concessions. Mrs. Brownfield asked if
the attendance requirement was waived, would the City still allow two
games with promotions. Ms. Pena said that would be up to the board. Mr.
Zaruba called for a motion. Mr. Jones made a motion to lower the rent to
$1,000 a game, take the attendance requirement out in order to share in
concessions proceeds, do not charge for practice, allow two games in
where there would be special concession promotions, and allow the team
to paint the locker room. Mr. Stevenson seconded the motion. Mr. Zaruba
called for the vote, all board members were in favor and none were
opposed. Mrs. Jones asked when this item would go to City Council and
Mr. White recommended taking it conceptually to Council first before
making any changed. Mr. Bankster wanted to makes sure that all changes
would occur before the next season. Mr. White asked that Mr. Zaruba call
for public comment. Angela Hill from the San Angelo Broadway Academy
came forward and stated that she can see that there would be cause for
concern when one entity receives free practices and others are charged
for it. She stated that she loves utilizing the Coliseum but they were
displaced from the Auditorium and have been grandfathered into utilizing
auditorium rates. Mr. Stevenson asked what the rate at the Coliseum was
for SABA and Ms. Pena said that it is $650 per performance, utilizing the
auditorium rate which was established prior to Ms. Pena working at Civic
Events. Mrs. Jones commented that the two situations may be different
because while SABA is in the coliseum, there is no chance for another
event to take place due to their lights and rigging. When the turf is down, it
is possible to still have another event. Ms. Hill said she just wanted to
make a comment and was in no way complaining but cautioned that the
board could be setting a precedent. Mr. White said that Ms. Hill would

66. have another opportunity to bring this up when it goes to City Council for
review.
4. Consideration and discussion of a request from Cody Baker of Lone
Star Music Productions to obtain 100% of the City of San Angelo’s
concessions percentage from San Angelo Host for an upcoming
music festival and any action in connection thereto. Ms. Pena
presented information on a request received from Cody Baker of Lone
Star Music Productions. Mr. Baker is interested in bringing an all day
Texas Country music festival to town. Ms. Pena said the Civic Events
division does have some history with Mr. Baker. He has promoted two
music festivals in the past that were well attended and there was one
occasion that a festival was rained out. Mr. Baker is requesting to obtain
the City’s portion of alcohol sales for this event. Mr. Zaruba recalled that
Mr. Baker previously asked for concessions. Mr. Banskter said in 2009,
Mr. Baker asked for a BYOB pass and the board turned him down. Mr.
Condon said he was supportive of working with Mr. Baker and they City
should aggressively promote the Riverstage and attract promoters, as
long as the City does not lose money. Mrs. Jones was also supportive of
the request. Mr. Banskter read an e-mail he received from Carlo that
mentioned San Angelo Host as willing to unilaterally provide 5% of alcohol
proceeds with or without the City providing a portion. General discussion
took place and the consensus was that the board was in favor of
considering the request but they would like to hear from Mr. Baker himself.
Mrs. Brownfield suggested sharing concessions proceeds only after a
certain amount of tickets were sold. Mr. Stevenson commented that he
would like to see the Civic events department have the flexibility to make
the decision on whether or not to authorize concession proceed sharing
without having to go to the board each time. Mr. Zaruba concurred and
suggested that staff bring back a policy, similar to the one that is in place
regarding facility discounts in relation to hotel stays. Ms. Pena received
direction from the board and mentioned she would bring the item back and
be sure that Mr. Baker was present.
5. Announcements and solicitation of future agenda items. Ms. Pena
stated that the next regularly scheduled meeting takes place on
Thanksgiving so a decision to either hold the meeting one week early, on
Nov. 21, or on another date that the board would be agreeable on. Mrs.
Jones said that Nov. 21 would work for her but she may not make a
December meeting. Mrs. Brownfield said she would not be present during
the latter part of December either so the board suggested that we
postpone a December meeting unless there was a pressing issue. Ms.
Pena also announced that Mrs. Sandy Fields had resigned from the board
and that a nomination for Vice President would need to be made at the
next meeting. For future agenda items, the board requested an update on

67. the Buffalo Heritage sculpture, a Riverfest update, and looking at the rate
structure for each building.
6. Adjournment: Mrs. Jones made a motion to adjourn, Mrs. Brownfield
seconded the motion. Meeting adjourned at 12:29 p.m.

Regular Agenda Item
Discussion concerning the River Fest event and consideration of approving the
event as an annual one sponsored and coordinated by the City of San Angelo,
Parks and Recreation Department.
Summary:
We’re pleased to report that River Fest was mostly a success.
We say, “mostly,” because it didn’t meet all our expectations. Thousands of
participants had a great time but we definitely learned some lessons for next year,
if there will be a next year for River Fest. That being said, we don’t want to
assume there will be a River Fest next year without your consideration.
The bottom line two-part question is, “should this become an annual event and
should the City Parks and Recreation Department be the agency to host and
coordinate it?”
Attached to this memo is a report on the key lessons learned from the event
as well as the post-event budget.
History:
River Fest was held on October 18 and 19, 2013.
Financial Impact:
None at this time.
Related Vision Item: Promotion of activity downtown.
Other Information/

The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board met to discuss this matter at their
meeting on October 24, 2013 and November 21, 2013.
