[Board] Information from Plano City Council

[Sheila Winsor]

Thank you both for putting yourselves through that for PCB's benefit.
 
Have fun at the recital.  Jim and I have been called down to his parents
down in South Texas and will miss it.
I have to say I am a little bummed.  
 
See you soon, Sheila

Subject: [Board] Information from Plano City Council
 
Board,
 
Denise and I went to the Plano City Council meeting on Monday night.  It was
3.5 of the longest hours of our lives.  We learned the following things of
interest to the PCB:
 
1. City Council approved designating Downtown Plano as an Arts District and
has adopted the "Downtown Arts, Culture and Events Plan" (attached) as a
guide to future development.   The Saigling House has been incorporated into
the Arts District as well.  Info in the attached document.
2. Haggard Park will be getting a new cover over the rail car.  This will
help keep the sun and weather off of the train and make it more pleasant
inside.  We are not sure when this work will happen, but it is not likely to
interfere with any of our outdoor concerts.  
3. The Senior Center is getting a $1M renovation in 2016.  They are
expanding to the north and maybe to the west, at least until they hit the
flood plain and have to stop.  They are enlarging the cafeteria for sure.
We don't know when this will happen.  Hopefully it won't affect our March or
December performances.
 
Thanks,
Jennifer
