APNA Meeting 12/11/18: DUSK Festival, Armory Park, and Crime

Just a few notes and updates from the meeting last Tuesday.

Page Repp, promoter of the Dusk festival was at the meeting to hear feedback from the neighborhood regarding the festival. Brent Dennis (Parks and Rec) and Greg Jackson (City Manager’s office) as well as Steve Kozachik were also there to answer questions about Armory Park and the permit process for events at Armory Park.

The majority of the questions at the meeting and from the listserv could be listed into 3 categories: 1) noise, 2) access – specifically on 6th Avenue, and 3) privatization of the park.

Page addressed the noise and had copious notes showing the areas where the decibels exceeded the noise ordinance limit of 70-75 db  (the festival did receive a noise waiver from the city). Page stated that by taking decibel readings throughout the neighborhood during the festival, he was able to identify those areas that received the loudest noise. He believes that sound abatement in these areas can be achieved if the festival were to take place in 2019. He also touched on access to 6th Avenue and stated that a workaround was possible so that people would be able to access the post office and other buildings in the area.

Steve K spoke about privatization of Armory Park. He made it abundantly clear that the city is not interested in privatizing Armory Park, that it is a neighborhood park and should be open to all. Several neighbors have queried that if Rio Nuevo invests in Armory Park, Rio Nuevo would want private events to recapture some of their investment dollars. Luckily this is not the case. Rio Nuevo would recapture its investment through dollars spent in the existing downtown venues that festival attendees would visit before/after (ie: restaurants, hotels, bars) . Steve explained that the Rio Nuevo funds ($600K has been approved by the Rio Nuevo board) and the recently passed prop 407 funds (Armory Park is scheduled to receive $1.5 Million for upgrades starting in 2022) combined allow for substantial upgrades to the Park. He also stated that the city and Rio Nuevo will start working together and with our neighborhood to develop a plan that is acceptable to the majority of the stakeholders. (Armory Park Neighborhood, Rio Nuevo and the City).

Page then stated that he is looking for another downtown venue in which to hold the Dusk festival. If he is unable to, there was further discussion about the possibility of holding it again in Armory Park with continued input from the neighborhood. Noise, access and and the possibility of ending the festival at 10:00 on both nights was discussed.

While these issues have not been resolved, there were several in the audience who welcomed the festival and stated that although the music may not be their personal choice, a festival such as this once a year adds to the vitality of downtown and is welcomed. I took a show of hands to ask if we should continue the discussion and have Page come to the February meeting with updates on sound and access and the audience was overwhelmingly for it. We want your input, so please put the February meeting on your calendar.

We received the donation from Dusk – it was a check for $2500.00 (they also gave a check to the Armory Park Rec Center as well as the Children’s Museum). At Tuesday’s meeting the board moved to allocate $1000.00 to the historic preservation fund (APHZAB is doing a terrific job of scanning old neighborhood documents and the money will help to pay for the scanning), $1000.00 to Neighbors Feeding Neighbors and the balance of $500.00 into the APNA general fund.

Below is the latest police incident report. While crime continues to decline, please be vigilant in locking your gates and retrieving your packages/mail quickly.

Finally, we hope to see you all on Sunday at the annual APNA holiday party. Giovanna Hesley has graciously offered her home for this event and it will start at 5:00 and end at 8:00. Have a wonderful holiday season and our next meeting will be Tuesday February 12th.
