City Council - workshop

I will answer your updates and your questions about what is currently going on. Last year In October, we The board of directors gathered to reorganize the mission, We have established strategic plans and re-evaluated our values. We have partially updated our mission and values, but the most important thing in our activities is cooperative partnership. This is also the core of our mission declaration. We are cooperating with the local government as well as other non-profit organizations, as I am in this position, and we are cooperating with national partners to support the capacity and funds of DIMOIN. I am very happy to be able to participate in this process. Linda Westergaard, who will be the chairman for two years as a member of the board, Chris Johansen, who has been active in the board for a long time, and Margaret, who is here today, won the national award at Naverworks America. There will be news to be announced soon, so please look forward to it. I am really happy to be able to announce it when all preparations are complete. We are very looking forward to this news. This is a project we conducted in Des Moines. Our institution is conducting about one-third of the loan in Des Moines. As you know, we are also doing business in church areas such as Cedar Rapids. Last year, we supported 103 households and conducted a total of 3.8 million dollars in housing maintenance. The housing value of $1 per person who received a loan from Siwa County increased by $2.59. 2. It's because we compare the current value and the value of the house. As a result, we were able to see that the value of each dollar increased more than twice when investing. And we have expanded the business using leverage, and it has been growing steadily for the past 10 years. We use 9.43 dollars per dollar of local government funds. And most of the funds were used for housing contract support and secondary mortgage loans. To explain why the $1,000,000 grant we received is so important, we know that it is a difficult time. However, the reason why this grant is important to our organization and to us in the future is because we have a history of constantly providing programs. Thanks to this, we were able to continue the loan business by obtaining an additional $14.2 million from the local financial institution of Dimo Inc. and Polk County. We are also planning to launch a $20 million loan project for Fannie Mae. Currently, we are in the final review stage of the CDFI, the Regional Social Development Financial Agency, and we hope that we will be able to receive part of the $3 million application when the announcement is made. And we have been working on the business through Wells Fargo and Enterprise with a supply-enhanced subsidy, and only 4.4% of the applicants are now advancing to the stage where we are. Thanks to this continuous financial support, we were able to build a very resilient organization, and we are very grateful for this. Also, thanks to this financial support, we were able to run the business very successfully. So far, we have reused about 40% of the funds received from Shihwa County. Therefore, without requesting additional funds from Shinhwa County, we were able to increase the rate of tax exemptions from $10,000 to $15,000 this year. Also, we were able to successfully expand the contract support and increase the contract support amount provided by the transaction from $15,000 to $15,000. Thanks to this, we were able to successfully complete many transactions. It also gave some changes to the loan review method and structure. And through calculation, the optimal results were exposed. All these changes have had the effect of lowering the interest rate by 1%. Therefore, we lowered the monthly interest rate to the same level as when we lowered the interest rate by 1%. It would be easier to apply the same interest rate to everyone. As you know, if you consider the way the funds come in, you have to adjust everything at once. However, this would have been effective for general housing buyers. As I said, we are running a contract support program. Currently, we are running three programs, a $15,000 support program, a journey program to home ownership, and an additional $15,000 through the journey to home ownership. And the Federal Home Loan Bank. As a member, I also participated in the home start program and the home start program, and I am supporting an additional $15,000. This money can be collected, but if it fits the situation of the debtor, we can support you anytime. Last year, 23 people were supported by Dimoin City. Not all debtors are customers of our organization. We also provide programs such as Journey to Home Ownership, a journey to home ownership, to partner financial institutions. If you think about the D-MOIN housing strategy that you and your employees are running together, there are two most important things. Of course, there are other things, but the two most important things are contract support. We have experience running a contract support program, so we have already discussed it with related institutions. If you decide to promote the program, I would like to talk more about how to use our experience to support it. Even if not, we will continue to run existing programs. In other words, everyone who receives an NFC loan will be able to receive support if they have the right to apply for a contract. In addition, we also have an NFC-owned real estate. I will tell you more about this later, but if the housing protection program is held, we hope to use that opportunity. Currently, we are We are purchasing about 10 to 15 houses a year through NFC Properties. Usually, one of them is remodeling, but we are seeing losses every year. Usually, if neighbors bring us a house that is not in good condition, we will buy it and remodel it, but we see more than $40,000 loss per unit. So, it is a business model that is difficult to continue without government subsidies. If you are wondering why you don't do more business, this is the reason. Fortunately, In 2023, when the ARPA funding was supported, we were able to receive $1.5 million in support through the Energy Advantage program. This program was very successful. In addition to all the services we previously provided, we provide a loan for up to $10,000 for those who are trying to take deep energy savings measures, such as short-term installation, energy star authentication, and window installation, in order to increase energy efficiency. We are still working on taking in all the data, but we are checking the efficiency of energy saving and the insulation performance of the house. Although it was not included in the slide data, we saved an additional $1 million through this program. Therefore, if you contact us, those who are trying to generate carbon neutrality in their homes, you can receive a lower 4% interest rate loan than the general market interest rate. In other words, you can get a 4% interest rate loan of $10,000 in energy savings benefits and up to $15,000 in loans. Basically, people get a loan of about two-thirds of the total project cost, and the rest is supported by a kind of compensation fund. The loan rate is 4%. If you are interested, please contact us. We recently updated our website, so please visit and take a look. We run various programs. The best way is to go out to the neighborhood and talk to the residents, or if you contact someone, we will contact you. We will listen to the needs of the residents and find a program that suits them. As you know, there are programs that have energy or income restrictions, such as contract support, Most programs can be used by anyone regardless of income level. There are plans for two new loan areas to be voted on soon. These areas have been approved by the county and are two areas marked in orange. The green area is the Dimoin loan area. The dark green area is the Invest DSM area. These two areas are marked. We often cooperate with Invest DSM to provide loans and receive subsidies from Invest DSM. The two areas we are going to add are the places where there are a lot of doorbells in this area. If you look around these areas yourself, you can see that additional support is needed. It would be nice if people could remodel when the house came out to the market, but in fact, there were some people who came back for internal construction after receiving a divorce, independent ownership program, and internal construction of the housing exterior construction. We recognize this need. This area is part of the Grace Lake area, which extends from Lincoln High School to the north to Art Ross, from the 9th to the 14th. And another is when the whole of the Beaverdale area was incorporated into our loan area a few years ago. At that time, it was Mulhey, Mulhey, but as you know, it has now become part of the Beaverdale area. It is integrated into the Beaverdale area. From Douglas, Douglas to Meredith, Meredith. Area 51. From Mulhaymoor, Mulhaymoor to Beaver, Beaver. Beaver is a region that extends north. Let me tell you a little bit about NSC Properties. Thank you to everyone who visited and visited our house. Middle The house on the top is a house built with investment DSM subsidies. This program is really important to us. Currently, we can't even build a house without subsidies. We are not usually in a situation like this. So far, we have been able to build a house without subsidies. The Invest DSM program is really good because it provides support so that our team can continue to work and participate. I received an HUD subsidy a few years ago, and all the procedures have been completed, so I can build a specific house. I think I can run the business stably for about 6 months to a year in the future. Also, through the CDFI fund, I applied for a new market tax on other projects. I hope this project goes well. I'm trying to get subsidies from other places, Since starting the business in 2008, we have sold more than 237 houses. This subsidy is supported until 2023. I think I need to update this part, so I'll let you know. We are building six to eight houses a year through the Invest DSM program. This is the business we are currently running. The next slide may seem a little small, but it is the list of all homes sold in 2025. At the beginning of 2026, it seems that there were about 8 homes in the market. So I couldn't achieve my 2025 goal, but there is a high possibility that I will achieve it in the future. Currently, 12 houses have been signed or sold. Now all we need to do is sell these two more, and those two are in the current market. I hope it goes well. As I said last time or twice before, I started a commercial loan program. This program is really successful. Our funds will be used to fill the gap that often occurs between financial institutions, housing mortgage loans, and subsidies from Polk County Housing Trust Funds. You can probably recognize it, but this is Town Hall Food Hall. It's a little more advanced now, but this is the most recent picture I have. This project is a project that made me think about what to do to revitalize the commercial loan business when I attended the meeting. I heard about the project at the meeting, but no one seemed to support funding. So we started collecting capital ourselves. We provided a development loan and participated in the construction fund loan with one of the Naverworks partners in Korea. We are really proud of this project. You must have invested in this project, but we are waiting for this project and the coffee shop to open. We know that some of you have already moved to a historical building. This project is one of the projects we have conducted, and it is probably the largest project. We also participated in the Varsity Lofts project, It is also known that Naverworks funds were invested in this project. This project was also able to receive a bank loan. It was originally a good project, but considering interest rates and fees, it was no longer profitable. So, we were able to lower the construction loan interest rate a little and reduce the fees. In addition, we raised 2 million dollars in research funds. Thanks to that, we were able to convert Vasity Loft, Vasity Loft's construction loan into a research loan. Vasity Loft is located next to the theater. Also, small-scale development companies and non-profit organizations are providing 0% construction loans for independent housing construction and sales. This is part of the community land trust community land trust community land trust community land trust community land trust project. As you know, By lowering the interest rate to 0% and not paying the fee, you can make the same effect as supporting an additional fund from $15,000 to $40,000 depending on the loan period of the project. In other words, it is to support the project. Simply put, yes. Thank you for attending our event. We had a 35th anniversary event last June. Most of our employees are here. As you know, we have grown to 26 people. I'm very happy to have a new PR manager recently. We will volunteer for this city, help you promote your project, and even more so, we will try to preserve our neighborhood and realize the dream of getting a house. Then I'll finish it. I'm Kari.

Do you have any questions? When you form a partnership with Invest TSM, do you use their housing design? Or do you use your own design? Or how is the partnership run? Yes, they provide a housing plan. Yes, we are offering a proposal by learning and implementing the same plan several times.

Unlike other development companies, we import the land from them. So we make a sales contract, import the land, sign a development contract to build a house on the land, how much is the budget, and how much is the aid needed for this. That's how you sign a contract and try to get a subsidy in the process of the project. There are times when the subsidy suddenly increases a lot, and usually you apply at the end of the project. Last weekend, we submitted an application letter, and we received a subsidy of less than $20,000. We know that the subsidy is the money of the borrower, and we try to use it as efficiently as possible. And by the way,

Have you ever built a building on community land?

We haven't done that yet, but one of the houses built with InvestZoom was added to the Polk County Housing Lending Fund and made available through the community land model. Unfortunately, no one bought it, so we sold it this weekend. So when we get a proposal, I'm going to proceed. I'm very interested in the community land model. Yes, thank you. Do you have any other questions? One of our employees is working at the community land construction board, so we are cooperating closely with them. Yes, do you have any more questions? Linda, thank you for working at the board. And thank you for what you do. I remember that the place we were in was a good example of building a new house in Dupilji. Yes, you're building a good house in Gomildo, aren't you? Thank you. It's 10 million won. Yes, I'm contributing to making our neighborhood better. Yes, I'm happy. Now tell me. Thank you. Yes, let's move on to the next topic. It's the skywalk guide sign.

Bye.

Yes.

All right. Mr. Mayor, members of the 12th Committee, I'm Steve Naver. I'm also a Demo Inc. engineer and a Demo Inc. citizen. I'm glad to tell you about the various activities we've been doing to maintain and maintain our SkyWork system and future plans. Also, our RDG and Catch This Moins team members are participating in the presentation. A lot of work has been done on the SkyWork system so far. Various projects have been carried out, including various capital improvement projects, maintenance and maintenance projects, as well as various projects, including SkyWork, including various capital improvement projects, maintenance and maintenance projects, as well as various projects, including various projects, including various projects, including various projects, including various projects, including various projects, including various projects, including various projects, including various projects, including various projects, including various projects, including various projects, including various projects, including various projects, including various projects, including various projects, including various projects, including various projects, including various projects, including various projects, including various projects, including various projects, including various projects, including various projects, including various projects, including various projects, including various projects, including various projects, including various projects, including various projects, including various projects, including various projects, including various projects, including various projects, including various projects, including various projects, including various projects, including various projects, including various projects, including various projects, including various projects, including various projects I'm really looking forward to the project that RDG has developed. Thanks to this project, maintenance management will be much easier in the future, and signage updates will be easier. Skywalk is a precious asset. It's a building that we need to take good care of and maintain. If you don't maintain it properly, for example, if water seeps into the structure or there is a leak in the window, there will be a higher cost later. Likewise, if you do not properly manage and update the signboard, problems can occur. In Catch This Moins, we will discuss various things considering the number of Skywalk and visitors. If the signboard does not even show the existing buildings properly, can visitors be sure that they can properly visit the Dimoin city? Now, this presentation is to tell you again about the things we have done so far and what we will do in the future. There is a simple schedule here. First of all, I will briefly explain the main facility improvement business in the system management and city. Our Greater Demo-In partnership team members are scheduled to announce future forward future forward project. RDG will talk about the road-finding project and Catch Demo-In, Catch This Moins, and EunSky Work visitors. We have 52 bridges connecting 55 buildings in downtown. Some of them are also connected to the city parking lot. Therefore, there is also a section where we have to maintain it ourselves. The total length of the system is 4.2 miles, about 6.7 kilometers. For those of you who are watching, the bridge refers to the Skywalk section installed on public roads. Skywalk is divided into sections that pass through the city streets and alleyways, and sections that pass through the empty air space inside the building. For example, places like the Sa-Yu alley can also be referred to as SkyWork. The bridge passes over the street and alley, and the hallway passes through buildings in the Sa-Yu area. If you look at the map below, you can see the number system of SkyWork. When we run a project, we use a number system that combines alphabet and number to classify SkyWork. The number is from 1 to 12 based on the river. For example, this is number 1, and from Vine Street to the north, the number is from A to L. Vine Street is A, then B, C, C is Côte d'Avignon, D is Waller Street. As you can see on the map, the number system is like this. The SkyWalk system began in the 1980s. The first SkyWalk was launched in 1982. This SkyWalk is also a model of the Minneapolis. And 28 more SkyWalks were launched in the 1980s. The most recently built SkyWalk is part of the Miss Block development project on the 7th floor. As of 2019. I will explain once again about the responsibility of Skywalk. In the case of the Skywalk section passing over the street and alleyways, the city is in charge of the main facility improvement. Here, the cooling system, external parts replacement, metal panel, ceiling, roof, and signpost installation are included. The owner of the building is in charge of operation and maintenance, and electrical replacement, cooling management, general cleaning, etc. This is an explanation of SkyWork. Also, each building has a separate SkyWork contract for each party's role and responsibility. There are quite a lot of SkyWork contracts. As I said before, I will talk about the section that passes through the hallway, private land, and the inside of the building. The owner of the private land building is responsible for the improvement and operation of the facility. The city also manages the hallway, but the hallway that passes through the city-owned building and parking lot is managed by the city. The SKYWORK committee consists of five members, and the main role is design review. If the SKYWORK is replaced or added or built, the committee is involved in design requirements and operation time. In other words, design standards and operation time management are the main tasks of the committee. The SKYWORK Association was established in the 1980s, There are 15 directors consisting of members related to SkyWork. The main task of the association is security and surveillance. Therefore, it is the role of the association to manage this part. As you can see, 27 cameras are installed, and the security team and the police are also employed. Once again, we have carried out various replacement work for the facility improvement project. Since 2013, we have replaced more than 31 SkyWorks roofing and replaced 27 refrigeration systems. As I mentioned earlier, there is a SkyWorks roofing that was built as a development project by Miss Bandero, and there is a roofing that was replaced by a hotel development project by collaborating with Polk County. Once again, these buildings are assets that we need to manage. Yes, just like other assets in our city, we analyze what kind of work is needed from a general point of view and how to properly and efficiently distribute capital. roof, cooling system, structure, exterior, and even indoor lighting. These analysis results help decide where to invest the money needed to maintain the system. Since 2013, we have invested a total of $11.2 million in the SkyWay system to carry out capital improvement projects. We carried out various projects from structure maintenance to roof replacement, interior remodeling, and exterior improvement, and we will show you a few work photos in a moment. As you may know, we started with the replacement of the ceiling, subfloor, roof, and metal panel, and installed even the blinds in some parts of the skywalk. There was a problem with the ice falling into the island. Based on these analysis results, the following improvements are expected. Metal panel replacement, window glass replacement, Zulun ceiling, LED lighting upgrade, ceiling replacement, carpet replacement, roof replacement, and in the future, HVAC system replacement will also be in progress. In the next two years, we plan to replace seven additional HVAC systems. In addition, external improvement construction is also planned. In the next stage, we plan to replace 7 of them, and in the next stage, replace 10 of them. There is also a cost to replace the skywalk and windows. As such, future improvement construction is expected based on the analysis results. I'll show you the before and after pictures. I wish I could show you a bigger picture, but just looking at this picture, you'll be able to see the previous picture on the left. The ceiling. So the roof doesn't look good at all. And then in the picture, you can see how the internal improvement construction was carried out on the leg of the brand ABNEW. Just looking at the picture, you can see how much the internal improvement construction was carried out. Not only the carpet, but also the ceiling was replaced and restored. Most of the lights were replaced with LED lights. Yes, that's right. And this picture is the skywalk bridge connecting the square and the new building, and this part was also improved. You have compared the before and after pictures of the hallway. I also talked about the external improvement construction I mentioned earlier. The work to replace the floor and the roof was carried out, and the installation construction of the eye curtain, which I mentioned earlier, was also carried out. As you can see, this is the point where the 2nd and 3rd floors meet, and the eye curtain was installed to prevent snow and ice from sliding down into India. Thanks to Gary Cruz, our economic development team was able to promote the project. I will show you the projects that are underway along with SkyWork. These are large-scale development projects linked to SkyWork. As you can see, more than $300 million has been invested in the construction of a new house in the 811th generation, and more than $50 million has been invested in the construction of a new room for 157 rooms. There is also a Le Merdian Hotel project. And we can't leave out the business office remodeling project, which was invested more than 50 million dollars in the connection section of 9 skywalks. Many new companies have moved to downtown. Of course, it's one of them. You can check the business project list over there. There's a lot going on downtown, and it's always very interesting. This was the overall summary. Now I will hand over the microphone to Ted from our partnership team. Thank you. Hello, Mr. Mayor, Mr. Mayor. I'm Ted Guy. I'm the special project coordinator of the Downtown Special Project of the Greater Demo in Partnership. I will briefly talk about some of the projects that are already underway to support the Downtown DSM Future Vision Plan, the Skywork Reconstruction Project, and the Skywork Reconstruction Project. The Downtown DSM Future Vision Plan was started by local social leaders in 2021, and it was established by reflecting the opinions of more than 8,000 local residents, and was finally adopted as part of Dimoin City's comprehensive plan in 2023. This plan proposes a common strategy for the economic vitality and vitality of Downtown through five goals and six major projects. One of the six projects is the SkyWorks design project. The future-oriented InVision plan requires SkyWork to recognize SkyWork as an important asset to the city, and to reconsider it so that it can support distance activities and wider urban experiences more effectively. The re-designed Skywalk's elements include the improved road-finding system inspired by the color-divided subway lines and the construction of an eye-catching street connection, and RDG will explain this in more detail in a moment. The walkway for each theme makes Skywalk a more lively and memorable space for the first visitor and all existing users. Comprehensive management actively participates in communication with real estate managers and contributes to building an experiential connection ring as an activated destination that draws people in and makes them move. This plan also specifically suggests how to contribute to the future-oriented people's goals. There are many details about the goals of the vision plan, but I will emphasize a few this morning. Add the desirable activities that all age groups can enjoy to the urban environment. The city's charm for conventions, sports events, and entertainment. SKYWORK is established as a positive asset of a private real estate. It strengthens the connectivity between SKYWORK and ground activities, creates a pleasant environment for pedestrians, and provides clear road directions. To promote this plan, we collaborated with Project 7 Design to develop a series of skywalk installations. This project aims to add color, art, and joy to the daily skywalk space in the name of Joy Walk. Over the past two years, Skywalk was installed on eight buildings in downtown. The first installation was installed in the city-owned space in Pips End K.O. and Force End Grand parking lot. This installation proved the success of the project, and based on this, it also applied to additional civilian-owned spaces to promote the business. After that, the 7th and Grand parking lot, R&G Building, EMC Downtown Park, Insurance Exchange Building, Capital Square, and Wellmark IMCA Esky Work were installed. This project is a result of very cooperative efforts supported by a significant amount of money through the Regional Social Improvement Fund program of Operation Downtown, Bravo Greater Des Moines, and Prairie Meadows. Until now, the owners of the building have agreed to maintain and manage the installation. Other project partners include Project 7 Design, Slingshot Architecture, regional artists and creators, and city officials, public art foundation officials of each region. Project 7 cooperated with RDG to complement the road-finding function, and these facilities serve as a kind of unofficial road-finding tool for people using SkyWork. The goal of the JoyWork project is to make SkyWork more pleasant, It is to encourage people to move through the system and bring positive experiences to everyday space. Currently, other builders who are interested in participating are also contacted, showing that they are interested in continuing this business even in the private sector. Now, I will give you a background explanation that will help you understand how the project that has already been carried out in the future vision and sky work will be connected. Now, let's talk about moving the microphone to the RDG team.

Hello, I am Mindy Alvarez, an experience designer for RDG. I will briefly talk about the guide for finding your way. We collaborated with more than 15 organizations focusing on various areas such as accessibility, local society, visitors, and transportation to gain opinions on Skywalk. And guide We came up with a few things that we needed. They wanted a clear guide, good approachability, technology integrated, safe and friendly. So we started by setting up a brand. Looking at the name of Skywork, it was called by various names. So we decided to focus on one name, Skywork, a downtown demo. We focused on the S logo to simplify the work and wanted to make a really fun brand if it wasn't complicated. To do this, we expanded the color palette and designed it to have a lively and sufficient contrast for people with visual impairments. We also focused on creating a sense of security in the SkyWork system. As Ted mentioned, we use the route. We simplified the system by adding different colors to the four main routes of SkyWork. Through this, people can quickly identify their location in SkyWork. It is also helpful for safety. For example, you can see that it is on an orange or green route. The map always has a mark that clearly indicates the current location. We also used a symbol. If you use a symbol, you can understand it more easily in various languages. The text was designed considering the form and class structure to increase readability, and the text goal, which represents the current location and destination, was marked thicker. We made it easier to find the destination by using thinner text goals and large text messages. It is to make it easy to read and understand while walking on the skywalk. And the dot and touch text was a very important factor in using SkyWork. We focused our attention on not only the current location of the user but also the operating time of SkyWork. Because SkyWork users often did not use SkyWork because they did not know the operating time. Therefore, it is very important to mark the operating time as a dot, and an approach guide that tells you the use time of the elevator or the use of the stairs is also necessary. We also standardized all guides. For people with visual impairments, it was very important to place the signboard on the right and the road signboard on the right-hand side of the user's sight. And once again, we used these symbols so that we could know how long it takes for people to walk or move to their destination. We also used a symbol to indicate the location of the parking lot. If you go to a place where an event is held or a hotel, it provides connectivity between the parking lot, hotel, and event venue. And we clearly marked the location code to increase the safety of SkyWork. The signboard also has a question report function, so when people report a problem, they can immediately know the current location of Skywalk. This made everyone who uses Skywalk more relieved and able to use it. Please go back to the slide you just showed.

I think one of the most impressive points in the presentation was the use of QR code. I strongly support the use of QR codes so that people can scan the QR code and see the map directly with their smartphones. You will be able to know where people's legs are closed. Are you planning to provide QR codes throughout SkyWork so that people can scan the QR code on their cell phones without calling and let system managers know about the problem? Yes, that's right. All the QR codes are attached to the SkyWalk bridge guide board, so when people scan it, they can get more detailed information, and it is connected to a system where they can enter the destination and receive a road guide on their cell phones. There is also a step-by-step guide function. This is one of the biggest advantages of the system. Yes. Unlike the previous Skywalk guide, the new map system is much easier to read, and there is also a QR code here, so you can get real-time guidance.

So we want to actively promote the fact that people can access the mobile site directly without downloading or adding additional apps as long as they scan the code. You can check how the brand image works here. I'm going to use the Skywalk sign and the existing guide. If you walk on the Skywalk, there are Skywalk signs everywhere. There were many times when it was confusing to find a way to go down to the ground or go back up from the skywalk. So now we're going to use the S sign that clearly tells us that we can go up to the skywalk from the ground and the blue G sign that tells us that we can go down to the ground from the skywalk. This color goes well with the existing road finding system throughout the city. Also, all elevators will be equipped with this icon, but the replacement cost is very cheap, so you can replace it for about 1 cent. And if you compare the existing signboard with the new signboard, you will be able to know right away which route you are going. In other words, you will be able to understand the current location much more clearly. Also, the existing signboard was very difficult to update, but the new signboard is much easier and more economical to update. You can simply replace it by attaching a new vinyl or removing the entire existing signboard and replacing it with a new one. And in the SkyWalk bridge signboard that I mentioned earlier, there is more information such as SkyWalk operation time, how to report a problem, and how to use SkyWalk. If you scan the QR code, you can check more detailed information or access inconveniences as you said. And there is a SkyWork approach guide sign. When you enter the building, the red sign shows the business hours. Depending on which building you go to, the content that the use of the SkyWork is limited to business hours is also displayed. When the business hours change as before, you don't need to replace each sign. If you use this system, even if the company changes or the business hours are changed, you can keep the sign as it is. On the SkyWorks floor, a blue sign goes out into the street. Also, we integrated the lively and fun atmosphere of JoyWorks, which was introduced in Project 7, into SkyWorks, so that all the graphics can be harmoniously harmonized to capture people's eyes on the street. So we have more than 420 signs or graphics to guide users. More than 9,195 QR codes can be accessed on mobile sites. More than 150 signs that tell you how to enter SkyWork will be installed, so it will be very convenient to move from the street to SkyWork. Also, more than 285 signposts will be installed to inform the current location of SkyWalk and provide distance information below. More than 650 signposts are needed, and the initial expected cost was $500,000. However, we were able to reduce the cost from $350,000 to $400,000 by cooperating with a partner company. This is the result of adjusting the material cost and printing method while using the signboard or graphics as they are.

Do you have any questions? Oh, I'm sorry. Yes.

Yes, now I will invite Dale from Juicebox. Dale is in charge of mobile website development.

Hello, mayor and city council members. I am Dale Ben Rich from Juicebox. Today, I will talk for a few minutes about how the experience and digital experience that you can see offline will harmonize. In addition to the guide you just saw, will be digitized. As the mayor mentioned, QR codes will be installed on Skywalk, each parking lot, and each parking lot L. Through this, I can easily identify the current location, check the destination, and find the way back easily. For example, if you came to the city to see a performance, you can scan the QR code when you enter the parking lot to remember how many floors the parking lot is, so it will be very convenient. So, users can easily find the information they want and can explore Skywalk using mobile devices that are usually used for various purposes. As soon as you get on Skywalk, you can find your destination and get a step-by-step guide. It also tells you the expected time it takes to walk from one point to another. It also provides a shop or facility list for each building and connects the skywalk and the shops on the ground. Therefore, visitors will be able to have a connected experience. In addition, because it is a digital method, information updates are also very convenient. When a new shop is added, information is immediately reflected without the need to print a new guide, and it will always remain in the latest state. Next, as I said, the guide-type road-finding system provides information about each destination and is designed so that people can search for each destination. If visitors want to eat or do certain activities, they can filter or search according to their interests to find the right information for them. Therefore, visitors will be able to find their way conveniently. Also, approachability was a very important goal of the project. Not only people with visual or auditory disabilities, but also everyone was able to use it. For this purpose, all the print guide boards were consistently designed, and even in the digital environment, people were able to use machines to find their way. Therefore, the inconvenience of losing your way or not knowing your location will disappear. And for people with visual impairments, voice functions will also be provided. The mobile environment will provide the experience that people expect when they go out. In addition, there is also a cool feature that allows you to send push notifications through the business director function that I mentioned earlier. For example, my family watched the musical Wicked on Friday night, and if my family visited Skywalk through this app, they will receive a notification that Skywalk will be open for two hours after the end of the performance on Friday's map. This is useful information for those who feel difficult to watch the performance even though it is not a normal opening time. We are also planning to provide various event information that is held in downtown. Catch! Catch! It is a plan to be able to see all the event schedules at a glance along with the calendar. People can plan and participate in the event through this app. And you can also collect data on how people use SkyWork. For example, when scanning the QR code, you can check how many people have scanned the QR code and determine the use pattern. When all work is completed, the SkyWork map will be submitted to Google and Apple maps and included in each map framework. Yes, thank you.

Good morning. Now, let's talk about people using Skywalk from a visitor's point of view. Most people who use Skywalk every day know the way, but it's not always like that. So the signboard is important. However, there are many people who only visit once a year or only once in their lifetime. Therefore, the way to use Skywalk and Skywalk is very important for moving and connecting the city. We looked at some data. Last year, there were more than 90 events using IOWA event centers and downtown hotels and various events. If you look at the connectivity of these events, about 50 events were local or nationwide events. In other words, it means that there are many people who do not live here, are not from here, or do not know much about Dimoin. For example, the Iowa high school wrestling tournament is a good example. I often hear this story. Because of the main wrestling tournament, it is said that it is difficult for people who come to downtown to find their way in small towns. It's because you don't know where to park or where to park. So it's very important for people to safely park their cars in the parking lot and easily go to K-SYS Center or wherever they want to go. And while people are here, you have to think about how to eat, look around the store, and use other parts of the city, not just going to that place. For example, think about a wrestling convention or a national speech and debate event in 2025. These numbers do not include regular events that are held on a regular basis. For example, there are swimming competitions held regularly at IOWA Wild and IOWA All Booth Games, at Civic Center's Musical Wicked, and at Walmart YMCA. Therefore, events of 90 to 100 events do not include visits or economic effects caused by people visiting Civic Center performances during the weekend in other countries. So, in my opinion, the key is that many people are not used to skywalking and do not rely on skywalking as a means of transportation. In the future, we need to understand several groups that are expected to need skywalking in the next few years, not only in the past, but also in the future. Also, this skywalk is also a competitive factor in our local society. When we regularly invite city planning managers to explain, it's not the entire Edo city on a rainy day like today, but the fact that we can move quite a bit through the sky work system is one of the things that impresses me that the planning managers who attend meetings with other cities are really great assets. Yes, in the current situation, we have talked a lot about the communication method within SkyWork, but when considering the experience of visitors and the people looking for this place, this communication method will melt everywhere. It can be seen in the data issued by the city, and it is also used in the data in the Greater Demoin Partnership. In particular, we created a SkyWork road map and included it in the website and visitor data. Therefore, through communication, people will get rid of their fear of our city, to find a way to find a way to find a way to find a way to find a way to find a way

We are planning to re-register the project to be implemented on October 5, and this will ultimately lead to the construction and completion of the project in 2027. Thank you all for your presentation. Through this presentation, I want to show you what efforts we have made to maintain and manage these building assets, and the importance of Catch the Wayne, especially the importance of what Trina and her team do. In my opinion, they are hosting the world's best events. I am a passionate fan of the NCAA tournament, so I am very looking forward to this event. You'll be able to see the world's best shows. What Tadgay and his team are doing, and the meaning of development can't be left out. Wayne is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It's one of the reasons I moved here with my family 10 years ago. Thank you for Mindy and Dale's hard work. The product designed by Mindy and her team is not only eye-catching, but also an excellent product that can be proud of every time visitors come to our city. In addition, it is much easier to maintain than the existing guide board system. Not only did we build a user-friendly mobile environment, but we also developed an app that allows visitors to easily find the best restaurants in our area. Visitors can get information by connecting to the app when they visit to attend the event. Thank you very much to Trina, Ted, Mindy, and Dale. If you have any questions about SkyWork in our team, please contact us anytime. First, I would like to say thank you to Calvin. When you need customer complaints or cooperation with a private partner, Calvin always responds quickly. Calvin, thank you so much.

Many people are participating in this work. I'll take the question now. Mr. Kal, I think you asked the question first. Yes, um. I didn't understand the color distinction well. Is the Knesset mark written as Skywalk changing for each area?

아니면 제가 본 게 전부인가요? 다시 한번 설명해 주시겠어요? 감사합니다. 네, 찰스. 타원형으로 표시된 쪽 전화기를 사용하시면 됩니다. 네, S는? Skywalk로 가는 길을 알려주기 때문에 그대로 있습니다.

각 구역에 들어가면 표지판에 색깔띠가 생겨서 어느 구간을 걷고 있는지 알려줍니다. For example, if it's an orange section, there will be an orange belt and an orange arrow on the bottom of the signboard. Yes, I understand.

Yes, I don't think there's a red section. It could be and it could not be. Yes, yes. Yes, there is no red route. Red itself indicates the entire skywalk system.

So red means that. I understand. Yes, then.

Who will be in charge of the update, and will the city pay for the update? Or... We are cooperating with a company called Catch This Moins to manage and operate a mobile website. Of course, the building closure will be handled by the city, and the event and other matters will be in charge of Catch. Are you writing a contract right now? Yes. We will manage all the guide sheets in the city, and we will pay for the update fee. The cost will be determined by the amount of money. The large map is expected to be about $100 per person. There are about 50 systems, so it will be less than 5,000. The guide board for the door is about $25 per person for about 20. So I don't think we need to completely replace those things. Maybe we just need to replace one or two. The cost will be very low. Yes. And let me tell you about the signage. There were about 6 to 8 signs that were not allowed to enter the pet. Can we make the part that is not allowed to enter the pet three times bigger? Some people, and I often talked about the problem with Steve Walters. Some people think that the sign does not apply to themselves or their precious plans, or that Steve Walters does not apply until he starts the patrol at 8 a.m. So if you leave early in the morning, 24 hours a day, so from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. is not allowed to enter a pet dog, but is it really allowed to enter a pet dog? In my opinion, if you put a new signboard right on the wall, I think it will be easier to convey that it is the standard. Now people can say, oh, this is up, or that's up. But as you know, people can overlook it. The size is the same, but can't we make it twice or three times bigger? I don't think it's all on the signboard.

So we'll discuss and tell you the cost difference.

Are you going to put a paper sign that says dog entry is prohibited until the signboard is installed? People ripped it apart. I don't think it's for their precious dog. So I'm going to send the employees and put it back on. We will continue to work to solve this problem. Thank you. Yes, I'll give you a few more questions. First of all, I would like to say thank you to the team members who did all this. It's really impressive. What I especially want to tell you is that I was sitting there and waiting. I was curious about how to update the signboard and how to make a signboard so that the update is possible. Waller Street School is no longer there. There must have been a school name on one of the signboards at the time. So I already knew that the concept of this plan itself needed an update. So one of the things I was curious about after hearing this story was It was intended to promote the connection between the street and the road. I would appreciate it if you could explain in more detail whether you are prioritizing that part in this process and how this new system can play that role.

Yes, that was one of the priorities. I often get the question, how do you go up and where do you have to go down? Of course, security guards ask such questions. But as I said, that's priority. So I wanted to change the ground sign to blue. Previously, it was just written as a report on the s mark, so anyone who didn't know or knew could be confused. So I really wanted to solve that part. This system will definitely help. If you use the mobile website's pathfinder function, you can be guided to the nearest entrance in Skywalk, so you can move to a restaurant less convenient from Skywalk. It's definitely an important part. Yes. Then I'll ask you. In particular, there are many restaurants on the upper or lower floors or on the ground.

이 새로운 시스템은 지상이나 지하 푸드코트 같은 편의시설로 사람들을 어떻게 안내하나요? 시스템이 어떻게 작동하는지 궁금합니다. 네. 휴대폰이나 모바일 웹사이트에서 길찾기 기능을 이용하실 수 있습니다. Skywalk에서 나오신 후 가장 가까운 곳으로 가는 방법을 안내해 드릴 거예요. 네. 질문 감사합니다. 덧붙여. For example, you can filter by company or search for a certain company or building. For example, if you search for a building, it shows you the building and the companies in it. The companies in SkyWork are gathered on one floor, and the companies in the same building are on the same floor, but you can see them together. 원하는 음식을 찾고 있는데 다른 곳에 있는 음식점도 찾아볼 수 있습니다. 네, 같은 건물이나 근처 건물에 있는 음식점들도 쉽게 찾을 수 있을 거예요. 그래서 저는 여기 와서 다른 것을 원하기로 결정했고 다른 선택지들을 볼 수 있습니다. 감사합니다. Mr. Mayor, I think it would be more appropriate for Cody Christensen and Carrie Cruz to follow up on Rob's remarks. When remodeling or cooperating with new developers or builders in the skywalk system, and we think we've done pretty well in this area, we need to emphasize that we need to install very attractive and eye-catching stairs. That way, people don't have to use elevators all the time. The emergency stairs are not good visually and cannot always be located in the center of the building with an elevator, but open stairs leading from the first floor to the second floor are allowed. Therefore, some of the existing buildings can be installed on the upper floor to create an open space. 또한, 비상계단이 있는 경우, 새로 설치했든 보수했든 상관없이, 비상계단 문을 특정 장치를 이용해 열어둔 채로 둘 수 있고, 비상계단처럼 보이지 않게 할 수 있습니다. 어떤 사람들은 비상계단 문을 열고 어두운 계단을 오르는 것을 꺼려합니다. 하지만 비상계단이 눈에 잘 띄도록 하고 사람들이 쉽게 이용할 수 있도록 한다면, 더 많은 사람들이 이용할 수 있을 거라고 생각합니다. 감사합니다. 다른 질문 있으신가요? There is a question. In the old guide, the distance was marked as a block unit, but in the new guide, the time is marked. Is there a reason why the block unit has been changed to a time unit? Yes, there is.

I thought time was a unit that anyone could measure more easily than a block unit. For example, I thought it would take longer than the number of blocks for people using wheelchairs, walking people, children, and old people. So I changed it to a time unit. Also, when you park at Skywalk and try to move to your destination, you think of it as a time unit, not a block unit. It makes sense.

Many people who are not used to Dimoin are not used to the surrounding environment. I know it takes two minutes to walk to somewhere, but it may not even be able to walk one or two blocks.

Especially when you're on the skywalk, it's even better. Do you have any other questions? If you don't, thank you for your presentation. I presented comprehensive plans and showed you how big the skywalk can be in the city. I've worked in downtown for the rest of my life, and if there was no skywalk, our store would have closed much earlier. So I think we need to look at this problem. What is the asset of this space and how can we manage our assets well? Visitors know that this space is a really important place to hold conventions and various events. There is. Whether it rains or snows, no matter how cold the ice is, we have to be able to carry out the event. And we have to engage in all activities regardless of the weather. Walking in the street or especially in winter is a good way to use it as a walkway. It's a good place to exercise. Therefore, I think this space is a true asset of the urban area. Thank you for attending this morning. We will meet again for the pre-election at 4.45. And there is a regular meeting at 5 o'clock. Thank you.
