Mayor Pro Tem Mike Martinez' E-Mails Initially -----Original Message----- From: Martinez, Mike [Council Member] Sent: Monday, January 04, 2010 9:31 AM To: Shaw, Margaret Cc: Garza, Bobby; Moore, Andrew; Leffingwell, Lee; Riley, Chris; Shade, Randi; Morrison, Laura; Spelman, William; Cole, Sheryl; Snipes, Anthony Subject: FYI Primizie Osteria Mark and Lisa, This is really disappointing news. But before I offer any more opinions, I would like to get an update from staff on this issue. Margaret, can you please provide any info or relay any info you have from ARA. Thanks, Mike Mayor Pro Tem Mike Martinez 310 W. 2nd Street Austin, Texas 512.974.2264 -----Original Message----- From: Sent: Thursday, December 31, 2009 1:11 PM To: Leffingwell, Lee; Martinez, Mike [Council Member]; Riley, Chris; Shade, Randi; Morrison, Laura; Spelman, William; Cole, Sheryl Subject: Submitted from City Council web site - FYI Primizie Osteria Date/Time Submitted: 1311 hours From: Dana E-mail address: Subject: FYI Primizie Osteria Categories: Comments: I apologize for the mass email but we really wanted to try to contact people individually but from all the emails and messages we are getting I thought we better let everyone know ASAP. With that said, it is with heavy hearts that we have to tell you that Mark and I have decided to close Primizie Osteria for business. Although the down economy has not done us any favors, the main reason for our decision is that our landlord, Austin Revitalization Authority, refused to renegotiate the terms of our lease to make them more aligned with industry averages, the location and the density of the area. All of our decisions and projections for the restaurant were based on four multi-use developments which were to have been completed on the 11th/12th street corridors. As you probably know from the countless articles on the development of this area, the City of Austin and the Austin Revitalization Authority have failed to deliver on all accounts. We do not foresee any of these projects coming on line within the next 5 years to increase the density of the area to the degree that was projected. Since the fixed costs associated with that space were not going to allow us to reach the profit levels we needed we felt the smartest business move was to close the location. As you can imagine this was a very difficult decision to make but definitely the right one. Primizie Catering, which was started over 9 years ago, remains stable and profitable so that is where we will put our attentions. So if you are a past or present client you can still expect the same service, food quality and ability to produce amazing events that we have built our reputation on. We are very proud of what we created with Primizie Osteria and feel Austin has lost a true gem. We currently do not have plans to relocate the restaurant but hopefully you will see us again in another incarnation of Primizie soon. We want to thank you for all the support you have given us over the years. Feel free to contact me with any concerns or questions. Happy New Year and looking forward to a great 2010!

Mike Mayor Pro Tem Mike Martinez 310 W. 2nd Street Austin, Texas 512.974.2264 -----Original Message----- From: Snipes, Anthony Sent: Monday, January 04, 2010 10:00 AM To: Martinez, Mike [Council Member]; Shaw, Margaret Cc: Garza, Bobby; Moore, Andrew; Leffingwell, Lee; Riley, Chris; Shade, Randi; Morrison, Laura; Spelman, William; Cole, Sheryl; Ott, Marc Subject: RE: FYI Primizie Osteria Mayor Pro-Tem, We would be glad to provide you with an update. It is my understanding that ARA is in the process of putting another restaurant in place of Primizie in the near future. According to the ARA Board, they tried to work with Mark and Lisa with no success. The restaurant owed ARA in back-rent totalling $50,000 - $70,000. As you know, non-profits can not sustain non-payment to this extent and survive. The ARA Board did not want to have another Ms. B's occur; however they did make a concerted effort to make this work. Even with Primizie's non-payment and partial payments over several months, it was the restaurant and not ARA that made the decision to vacate. According to the Board Chair, ARA is making immediate moves to fill all of their space by the end of January. Additionally, staff has been meeting with ARA, Anderson CDC, and the URB to have public meetings and visioning sessions for the corridor. Lastly, staff and I have met with all of the Boards regarding some immediate solutions to get things moving in the corridor. Our hope is to come back to you in March with an update of those meetings and a proposed strategy to move forward. Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: Martinez, Mike [Council Member] Sent: Monday, January 04, 2010 9:31 AM To: Shaw, Margaret Cc: Garza, Bobby; Moore, Andrew; '[email protected]'; Leffingwell, Lee; Riley, Chris; Shade, Randi; Morrison, Laura; Spelman, William; Cole, Sheryl; Snipes, Anthony Subject: FYI Primizie Osteria Mark and Lisa, This is really disappointing news.

  • Doctor of Philosophy
    RICE UNIVERSITY By Drew Robert Winter A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE Doctor of Philosophy APPROVED, THESIS COMMITTEE Cymene Howe (Apr 15, 2020) Cymene Howe James Faubion James Faubion (Apr 15, 2020) James Faubion Cary Wolfe Cary Wolfe (Apr 16, 2020) Cary Wolfe HOUSTON, TEXAS April 2020 i Abstract Hyperanimals: framing livestock and climate change in Danish Imaginaries By Drew Robert Winter The IPCC and UN FAO have both suggested a global reduction in meat consumption to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. But how do nations and citizens resolve tensions between ecological stewardship and meat consumption? What is implied in eating meat and raising livestock in a country where the historical imaginary yokes national values to the pig-producing countryside? To answer these questions, this dissertation examines how climate change is affecting meat consumption and production logics in Denmark. Though the country has a reputation for progressive environmental policy, its formerly large agricultural sector continues to exert disproportionate political influence, and many citizens consider pork its most "traditional" food. In 2016, a publicly-funded advisory council issued a report suggesting that parliament pass a beef tax to reduce consumption and reflect its environmental impact. The report was the most controversial the council had ever issued, with members receiving angry phone calls and politicians arguing the council should be disbanded. The proposal put national tensions between sustainability
