          YES, VERSION THREE. 
          OKAY. 
          NOW THAT WAS A CORRECTION FROM VERSION TWO. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, THERE'VE BEEN SOME, UH, ITEMS WITH LATE BACKUP, UH, ITEMS 7 8, 9 30 37 44, 48, 49, 54 55 59, 60 61 62 66, 70 71 72, 73, 74, 76, 78, 79, 81 82, 84 AND 85 AND 88 AND 89 COLLEAGUES FOR TODAY'S MEETING. 
          UM, UH, WE, UH, HAVE, UH, ABOUT 10 SPEAKERS TO SPEAK THIS MORNING. 
          WE HAVE, UH, TODAY'S, UH, UH, AGENDA, UH, AT NOON. 
          I THINK WE JUST HAVE TWO CITIZEN COMMUNICATION SPEAKERS, OR WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK IN THE AFTERNOON. 
          UH, LIKE, UH, 55. 
          I THINK SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 
          THESE ARE ON THE ZONING CASES. 
          I THINK THE BEST PREDICTION AT THIS POINT IS THERE'S ONLY GOING TO BE THREE OR FOUR THAT ENDED UP AS DISCUSSION ITEMS. SO I DON'T KNOW THAT EVERYONE WILL CONTINUE TO COME IN. 
          UH, BUT, UH, I'VE SUGGESTED TO THE CLERK THAT WE HAVE THREE MINUTES FOR EACH SPEAKER TODAY, UH, ZONING CASES, UH, I KIND OF LABORED WITH WHETHER TO TAKE THAT DOWN BECAUSE THAT'S A LOT OF TIME, BUT WE'RE ONLY HEAVY TODAY IN ZONING BECAUSE OF WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE, UH, NOTICE, UH, ISSUE, UH, THAT, UM, UM, I WAS WORKED OUT BETWEEN THE LEGAL AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES. 
          UH, SO WE'RE GOING TO DO IT THAT WAY AND SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE COME. 
          UH, THE CONSENT AGENDA ITEM FOR TODAY IS, UH, UM, CONSENT 
          [00:05:01]
AGENDA ITEMS ARE ONE THROUGH 48 AND 87 AND 88. 
          UH, I'M NOT SHOWING ANY OF THESE ITEMS BEING, UH, UM, PULLED, UH, DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY PULL BY THEM? I DON'T HAVE PULLED, BUT I DO HAVE A COMMENT AND A REQUEST ON ONE OF THEM FOR STAFF. 
          OKAY. 
          IF THERE AREN'T ANY PULLED ITEMS, I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND CALL THE SPEAKERS AND THEN YOU CAN GIVE YOUR COMMENT AFTER YOU'VE HAD A CHANCE TO HEAR THE SPEAKERS. 
          OKAY. 
          AND THAT SOUND RIGHT? YEAH. 
          MY APOLOGIES. 
          I DO WANT TO PILL, UM, ITEM 31, I'M GOING TO CIRCULATE AN AMENDMENT HERE SOON. 
          AND AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME, I HAVE SOME DIRECTION TO ADD AN, A SLIGHT AMENDMENT TO 30, BUT 30 CAN STAY ON CONSENT. 
          OKAY. 
          AND WHAT WAS THERE, WERE THERE AMENDMENTS THAT, THAT YOU WERE PUTTING INTO A 47 OR IS THAT THE CORRECT, UH, VERSION OF THAT, UH, OF RECORD COUNSELOR? ACTUALLY, THANK YOU FOR ASKING THAT QUESTION. 
          I DO HAVE A VERY SMALL AMENDMENT, UH, TO MAKE TO 47. 
          THAT TWO CAN STAY ON CONSENT. 
          IT'S JUST THE REMOVAL OF THE WORD WEST AMENDMENTS. 
          PLEASE LEAVE ON CONSENT 30 AND 47, BUT I, I NEED TO BE RECOGNIZED FOR SOME PERSON, VERY SMALL AMENDMENTS. 
          AND THEN IF I COULD PULL 31 FOR A LARGER AMENDMENT THAT I'M GOING TO CIRCULATE YOUR SOON. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          SO WITH REALLY ONLY 31 BEING PULLED COUPLE COMMENTS AND QUICK CHANGES TO THE OTHERS. 
          UH, WE'LL CALL NOW SPEAKERS, UH, FOR THE CONSENT AGENDA AS IS OUR PRACTICE. 
          WE'RE GOING TO CALL THE PEOPLE IN PERSON FIRST SO THAT THEY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEAVE IF THEY WANT TO. 
          AND THEN WE'LL DO THE FOLKS OVER THE PHONE. 
          UH, SO, UH, IN PERSON, UH, SPEAKERS, UM, IS, UH, SETH MINETTA, DYLAN HERE. 
          THAT'S NOON. 
          WHAT ABOUT, UH, CARMEN? ANA'S PALITO? IS SHE WITH US? I THINK SHE HAD SIGNED UP TO SPEAK ON THE PHONE, BUT ON THE LINE, BUT WE DO HAVE A, UM,  WHO REGISTERED TO SPEAK OVER THE PHONE, BUT SHE IS HERE IN PERSON. 
          OKAY. 
          IF YOU'D LIKE TO COME UP AND SPEAK, NOW YOU CAN DO THAT. 
          GOOD MORNING, EVERYBODY. 
          MY NAME IS  AND I'M THE DIRECTOR OF FAMILY PATHWAYS AT UNITED WAY FOR GRADED AUSTIN. 
          I'M HERE TODAY REPRESENTING THE TWO GEN COALITION, 110 ORGANIZATIONS THAT SERVE THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES WITH LOW INCOME IN AUSTIN AND TRAVIS COUNTY FAMILY SPOT COMMITTEE PATHWAYS IS THAT PILLAR OF UNITED WAY WORK THAT FOCUSES ON FINANCIAL STABILITY. 
          WE DO THAT MOSTLY USING A TWO GEN APPROACH OR GOAL IS TO MOVE FAMILIES TO SUSTAINABLE LIVING WAGES BY REMOVING SYSTEMIC BARRIERS TO CAREER EDUCATION PATHWAYS FOR PARENTS AND CHILDREN AT FAMILY PATHWAYS. 
          PARENT BOYS ARE AT THE CENTER OF WHAT WE DO. 
          PARENTS INSIGHTS, STRENGTHS, AND LIVE EXPERIENCE ARE THE GREATEST TOOL FOR ADVANCING EQUITY IN STRINGING WELLBEING, WHICH IS WILDLY SENDING TO PARENT. 
          BOYS IS A HALLMARK OF THE TWO GENERATION APPROACH, WHICH BUILDS FAMILIAR WELLBEING BY INTENTIONALLY AND SIMULTANEOUSLY WORKING WITH CHILDREN AND THE ADULTS IN THEIR LIVES TOGETHER. 
          PARENTS ARE THE MOST, UM, INTIMATELY AFFECTED BY LONGSTANDING POLICIES AND PRACTICES THAT ARE IN PLACE AND THEREFORE OFFER INVALUABLE LEADERSHIP TO MEANINGFUL PURSUE IDEAS AND INNOVATION FOR COMMUNITIES TO PROVIDE TESTIMONY, ENSURE THEIR VOICE IS IMPORTANT. 
          THAT BARRIERS ARE REMOVED. 
          PARENTS USUALLY DON'T HAVE THE LUXURY TO ME'S ED. 
          THEY WORK, UM, ARRANGE CHILDCARE CHILDCARE, AND HAVE TRANSPORTATION TO EAT HERE AND PROVIDE THEIR TESTIMONY. 
          I URGE YOU TO APPROVE THEIR BUDGET REQUIRE, UM, TO HAVE HYBRID MEETINGS SO THAT COMMUNITY CAN PROVIDE THEIR VOICE EXPERTISE AND INSIGHT. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          THANK YOU AGAIN, THE TWO SPEAKERS THAT, UH, ALSO VISITED, UH, THE OTHER SPEAKER, 
          [00:10:01]
UH, IN PERSON WAS SETH MINETTA, ELLEN, ANYBODY ELSE HERE IN PERSON THAT BELIEVES THEY SIGNED UP TO SPEAK? YOU, YOU THINK YOU SIGNED UP TO SPEAK, WHO WOULD YOU COME DOWN TO THE CLERK, BUT YOU GET TO THEIR CLERK, YOUR NAME? DID WE OKAY, PLEASE INTRODUCE YOURSELF. 
          GOOD MORNING. 
          UM, MY NAME IS JUSTIN SHAW AND, UH, MET ME UP BEFORE WORKING WITH CAVES, UH, HERE IN THE CITY OF AUSTIN. 
          UM, I'VE HAVE BEEN STUDYING THE CAVES HERE IN AUSTIN SINCE I WAS A VERY YOUNG KID. 
          UM, SO ACTUALLY I HAVE ABOUT 30 YEARS EXPERIENCE. 
          AND SO I'M HERE TO SPEAK TO YOU TODAY ABOUT THE DEAD DOG CAVES, WHICH ARE UNDER THE PROPERTY, UH, WHICH IS CURRENTLY HAS THE LUBY'S ON IT. 
          AND IT'S BEING LOOKED AT TO BE REZONED, UM, FOR A DENSE DEVELOPMENT LOCATION-WISE IN THE CITY. 
          IT'S A GREAT PLACE FOR A DENSE DEVELOPMENT BEING RIGHT ON MOPAC. 
          UM, SO IT'S VERY UNDERSTANDABLE. 
          HOWEVER, THERE IS A VERY SENSITIVE CAVE UNDERNEATH THERE. 
          IT'S PRETTY NEAT. 
          IT'S REOPENED. 
          THERE'S AN INTERESTING DEBATE OVER WHETHER IT'S A NEW CASE. 
          SOME PEOPLE SAY IT'S LUBY'S CAVE AND MY EXPERTISE, AND HAVING TALKED WITH BILL RUSSELL ABOUT IT, UH, AFTER IT STARTED TO REOPEN ORIGINALLY IN 2015, HE AGREES, THIS IS THE DEAD DOG CAVE. 
          NUMBER TWO, REOPENING, UM, REGARDLESS AS IT IS NOW, IT'S NICK CAVE AND SHOULD BE PRESERVED, UM, SHOULD BE RESTORED AND IT SHOULD BE STUDIED. 
          AND IN MY OPINION, THE BEST WAY TO DO THAT WOULD BE TO SEPARATE A SMALL PARCEL OF LAND AROUND THE CAVE OFF FROM THE LIBBY'S TRACK. 
          UM, THEN I WOULDN'T SEE ANY PROBLEM WITH THE ZONING FOR THE LUBY'S TRACK. 
          AND THEN THAT SMALL PARCEL OF LAND COULD BE TRANSFERRED TO AN ENTITY THAT, UH, DOES CASE MANAGEMENT. 
          UM, IT COULD BE WITHIN THE CITY OF BOSTON OR IT COULD BE WITHIN THE NONPROFIT SECTOR. 
          AND, UM, I THINK THAT'D BE A GREAT SOLUTION THAT WOULD, UH, ALLOW FOR SOME MUCH NEEDED DENSE DEVELOPMENT IN AN IDEAL LOCATION. 
          WHILE ALSO PROTECTING THE CAVE. 
          YOU LOOK AT THE HISTORY OF THE CAVE. 
          IF I DID A HISTORY REPORT, UM, I SENT IT TO THE ZONING. 
          SO FOR SOME REASON, IT DIDN'T TRANSFER ALONG WHEN I LOOKED TALKING TO HEALTH SUPPORT DOCUMENTS. 
          SO, UM, ANYWAY, BUT IF YOU LOOK ON THE SUPPORT DOCUMENTS FOR THE ZONING CASE, YOU'LL SEE, OR REPORT FOR THE DEAD DOGS CAVE, AND THERE WILL BE AN UPDATED ONE. 
          THAT'S MORE INFORMATION COMING UP SHORTLY ON THE, UH, THE POINT IS, IS THE CAPE HAS BEEN WRONGED MANY TIMES THROUGHOUT ITS HISTORY, SIMILAR TO AUSTIN CATHERINE'S OVER IN TARRYTOWN, MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO FILLING IT, UM, CROSSING IT WITH UTILITIES, THINGS THAT SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING INSIDE OF THE, UH, CRITICAL ENVIRONMENTAL FEATURE, YOU KNOW, BASED ON THE LAND USE CODE. 
          AND SO I THINK WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO WRITE A HISTORY OF WRONGS AND, UM, BUILD ON RECENT STEPS THAT COUNCIL HAS TAKEN TO PRESERVE THE CAVES IN THE CITY AREA. 
          AND, UM, SO YEAH, BASICALLY I SEE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR IF THE DEVELOPER COULD GET WHAT THEY WANT, AND THIS COULD FURTHER THE CITY'S GOALS OF, UM, PROTECTING CAVES AND, UH, DOING SOME REALLY NEAT THINGS WITH, UH, YOU KNOW, TAKING SOMETHING WHERE SOMETHING WRONG HAS HAPPENED OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND KIND OF MAKING IT RIGHT IF YOU WILL. 
          SO THAT'S MY IDEA ON THAT AND I'M REALLY THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR TIME AND FOR LISTENING TO ME. 
          THANK YOU. 
          WOULD YOU PLEASE NOW CALL THE PHONE SPEAKERS? SURE. 
          THE FIRST SPEAKER IS CARMEN YANNIS, LIDO. 
          GOOD MORNING, MAYOR AND MAYOR PRO TEM AND COUNCIL. 
          UH, THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR SERVICE. 
          I'LL TRY TO BE BRIEF BECAUSE I'M SPEAKING ON BOTH ITEMS 46 AND 48 ON 46. 
          UH, JUST WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR, UH, THOSE OF YOU WHO SPONSORED THIS ITEM AND PLEASE ENCOURAGE YOU TO INVEST WHAT WE NEED TO IN ORDER TO KEEP A HYBRID TESTIMONY SYSTEM. 
          I KNOW LOTS OF PEOPLE COMPLAINED WHEN WE FIRST WERE DEALING WITH REMOTE TESTIMONY AND THE PANDEMIC, AND THERE WERE EVEN CALLS FOR MORATORIUM ON DIFFERENT ITEMS BECAUSE IT WAS SO DIFFICULT TO TESTIFY, BUT THAT'S NORMAL WITH ANY KIND OF TECHNOLOGY, TECHNOLOGICAL HURDLE. 
          UH, I THINK, YOU KNOW, YOUR, UM, YOUR TECH GUYS HAVE DONE AN INCREDIBLE JOB AND ALL YOUR TEXTS, PEOPLE IN GENERAL HAVE DONE AN INCREDIBLE JOB GETTING US TO THIS POINT. 
          AND I REALLY WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO THINK ABOUT THE ASPECT OF ABLEISM INVOLVED WITH REQUIRING PEOPLE TO SPEAK IN PERSON, NOT JUST IN COUNCIL MEETINGS, BUT IN EVENTS IN GENERAL. 
          UH, THIS HAS BEEN AN AMAZING GROWING EDGE FOR GABA AS AN ORGANIZATION FOR ALL OF US TO ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH MORE ACCESS TO SAFETY, COMFORT AND, AND RICHNESS COMES WITH ALLOWING REMOTE TESTIMONY IN ANY SETTING AND HOW YOU CAN ACTUALLY BRING MORE DIFFERENT KINDS OF PEOPLE TOGETHER. 
          UH, WE'RE STILL SPENDING THE MONEY DOING BOTH. 
          SO I HOPE THAT YOU ALL WILL FIND A WAY TO MAKE THAT POSSIBLE. 
          AND ON ITEM 48, ALSO VERY THANKFUL TO COUNCIL MEMBERS WHEN DEZ AND ALL THE CO-SPONSORS. 
          [00:15:01]
UM, AND MY HEART'S A LITTLE HEAVY BECAUSE I FEEL WE'RE HERE AGAIN, OFFERING ANOTHER RESOLUTION, UH, TO DO SEVERAL THINGS THAT SHOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN DONE OR SHOULD BE GETTING ADDRESSED, OR HAVE SOME KIND OF MOMENTUM, UM, IN THE WINGS. 
          SO THE MEMORIAL AT ONION CREEK IS VERY IMPORTANT, BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS ENSURING THAT PEOPLE ARE SAFE SO THAT EVERY TIME WE HAVE A HARD RAIN, LIKE LAST NIGHT, WE'RE NOT WORRIED ABOUT OUR NEIGHBORS DOWNSTREAM AND ENSURING THAT WE HAVE PREPAREDNESS SHOUT OUT TO YOUR HOMELAND SECURITY AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT FOR FINDING FUNDS TO PRINT OUR DISASTER PREPAREDNESS MANUAL, WHICH WE WILL HOPEFULLY MAKE MORE AND MORE WIDESPREAD FOR FLOOD, BUT THERE'S JUST A LOT MORE THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. 
          SO DON'T FORGET ABOUT YOUR PAST STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS REPORTS AND ALL OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT WERE GENERATED AFTER PREVIOUS RESOLUTION ON RESILIENCE, CLIMATE RESILIENCE, FLOODING, ET CETERA, PLEASE MAKE THIS ACTIONABLE, MAKE SURE THE CITY MANAGER GETS THESE THINGS DONE. 
          AND THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR YOUR SERVICE, JESSICA JOHNSON. 
          HI THERE. 
          MY NAME IS JESSICA JOHNSON. 
          I'M A RESIDENT OF DISTRICT NINE AND A MEMBER OF THE REIMAGINING PUBLIC SAFETY TASK FORCE. 
          SPEAKING IN OPPOSITION TO ITEMS 36. 
          I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR POSTPONING THIS ITEM. 
          UM, AND I DO WANT TO DRAW SOME ATTENTION TO, UH, THE FLAWS IN THIS PARTICULAR PIECE. 
          UM, THE CREATION OF ANOTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY AND HIRING MORE POLICE OFFICERS REGARDLESS OF THE AGENCY NAME IS ANTITHETICAL TO THE WORK OF THE TASK FORCE. 
          COUPLED WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE STATEWIDE CAMPING BAN, CREATING AN ADDITIONAL AGENCY THAT WILL HAVE THE POWER TO SERVE WARRANTS FOR CLASS NEEDS AND TO PUT PEOPLE IN JAIL MEANS FURTHER ENTRENCHING LOW-INCOME TEXANS INTO THE TANGLED AND OFTEN INESCAPABLE WEB OF THE CRIMINAL LEGAL SYSTEM. 
          I FIND IT INCREDIBLY CONCERNING THAT THIS MEASURE WAS ALLEGEDLY PROPOSED AS PART OF THE REIMAGINING INITIATIVE. 
          THE CITY CANNOT SIMPLY SLAP THE WORD RE-IMAGINED IN FRONT OF MEASURES THAT DO NOT RETHINK THE WAY THAT WE INCREASE PUBLIC SAFETY IN OUR CITY. 
          AS WE'VE MADE CLEAR THROUGHOUT THE TASK FORCE PROCESS, MORE POLICE DO NOT MAKE US SAFER. 
          RE-IMAGINING TAKES MORE TIME, EFFORT AND INTENTION THAN A CONSTRAINED NINE MONTH PROCESS FOCUSED ON PRODUCING BUDGET RECOMMENDATIONS. 
          THE MEMBERS OF THE TASKFORCE ARE COMMITTED TO TRULY RE-IMAGINING REGARDLESS OF THE CITY'S INVOLVEMENT IN THE PROCESS, WE WILL CONTINUE TO BE VIGILANT AND HOPE THAT ANY ITEMS PROPOSED IN THE NAME OF REIMAGINING PUBLIC SAFETY, BE THOROUGHLY VETTED BY MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, ESPECIALLY IF THOSE ITEMS ARE NOT DIRECTLY IN LINE WITH THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE TASK FORCE. 
          SO WE ASK THAT COUNCIL OPPOSE ITEM 36 WHEN IT COMES BACK UP AND ANY ACTIONS THAT INCREASE THE PRESENCE OF THE POLICE IN THE CITY OF AUSTIN. 
          THANK YOU, DAVID KEENE. 
          YES. 
          CAN YOU HEAR ME? YES, PLEASE PROCEED. 
          SO CUTE. 
          THAT'S THE KING. 
          I'M SPEAKING ON A COUPLE OF ITEMS TODAY. 
          UH, ITEM NUMBER 30, UH, TO ADD 4.05, $1 MILLION TO THE CONTRACT WITH LINCOLN PARK PROPERTY COMPANY, COMMERCIAL INCORPORATED FOR PROPERTY MANAGEMENT SERVICES FOR THE CITY'S PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT CENTER. 
          THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY AND I'M VERY HAPPY THAT COUNCIL MEMBER TOBO HAS DUG INTO THIS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE GETTING GOOD VALUE FOR OUTSOURCING PROPERTY MANAGEMENT SERVICES FOR OUR CITY BUILDINGS. 
          AND GIVEN THE TRENDS OF WORK FROM HOME, THE NEED FOR OFFICE SPACE FOR EMPLOYEES MAY LEVEL OFF OR DECREASE. 
          THIS TRENDS SHOULD BE FACTORED INTO POLICIES REGARDING OUTSOURCING OF PROPERTY MANAGEMENT SERVICES FOR CITY OWNED OFFICE SPACE REGARDING ITEM 45, UH, THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT APPLICANT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. 
          THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ITEM. 
          I HOPE YOU'LL APPROVE THIS AND MAKE SURE THAT IT'S EQUITABLE TO HOMEOWNERS OF COLOR AND LOW INCOME HOMEOWNERS ITEM 46, THE BUDGET RESOURCES FOR HYBRID MEETINGS BY BOARDS, COMMISSIONS, AND SUBCOMMITTEES AND COUNCILMEN AND THE COUNCIL AS WELL. 
          UH, THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ITEM AND I THINK THIS WOULD BE ONE OF THE, ONE OF THE PRIORITIES FOR THE COUNCIL TO PROVIDE FULL, CONSISTENT FUNDING FOR THIS. 
          AND I WANT TO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE EMPHASIS IS ON LOW INCOME FAMILIES AND FAMILIES OF COLOR TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE THE ACCESS. 
          THEY NEED THE RESOURCES, THE CELL SURFACE, THINGS LIKE THAT, THAT THEY NEED TO ACTUALLY PARTICIPATE REMOTELY AND VIRTUALLY, AND WE SHOULD FOLLOW THE TRAVIS COUNTY COMMISSIONER'S COURT PROCESS. 
          THEIR PROCESS IS SIMPLE. 
          IT ACTUALLY ENCOURAGES PEOPLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THEIR MEETINGS. 
          THERE'S ONE NUMBER THAT'S POSTED ON THEIR AGENDA THAT YOU CALL IN. 
          AND AS LONG AS YOU CALL IN BEFORE THAT ITEM HAS BEEN DISPOSED OF, YOU WILL BE PUT INTO THE SPEAKERS QUEUE. 
          THEY MAKE IT SIMPLE AND EASY, NO BARRIERS TO, TO, TO PARTICIPATE IN THEIR COMMISSIONER'S MEETING. 
          SO I'LL HELP YOU. 
          WE'LL LOOK AT THEIR MODEL AND FOLLOW THAT ANY RELIEF STAFF AND THE CHAIRS OF THESE COMMITTEES AND THE BOARDS. 
          AND IT WOULD RELIEVE STAFF AND CHAIRS AND COMMITTEE CHAIRS OF COMMITTEES AND BOARDS 
          [00:20:01]
FROM HAVING TO MANAGE THE SPEAKER QUEUE AND THAT PROCESS. 
          AND IT LETS THEM FOCUS MORE ON THE MEETING AND THE AGENDA ITEMS. SO I THINK THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT AND, UH, NUMBER ITEM 48, UH, THIS SHOULD BE A TOP PRIORITY TO REAFFIRM THE COMMITMENT, THE CITY'S COMMITMENT TO BUILDING FLOOD RESILIENT COMMUNITY AND, UH, ADDITIONAL FUNDING TO REDUCE OR ELIMINATE FLOOD RISK DAMAGE. 
          I HOPE THAT YOU WILL MAKE A DIRECT, THE CITY MANAGER MAKE THESE TOP PRIORITIES TO PREVENT FLOODS AND MITIGATE BUDS WITH FULL AND CONSISTENT FUNDING. 
          AND PLEASE ENSURE THAT THIS FUNDING AND RESOURCES ARE FOCUSED ON LOW-INCOME COMMUNITIES AND COMMUNITIES OF COLOR, MOST VULNERABLE TO FLOODING AND FINDING AN ITEM, ADA, THE EXTEND THE EXPIRATION DATE FOR NOTICES OF PROPOSED POST. 
          UM, I'M SO HAPPY THAT YOU'RE STAYING ON TOP OF THIS, THE PREVENTION OF THE EVICTIONS OF OUR LOW INCOME FAMILIES AND FAMILIES OF COLOR SHOULD BE A TOP PRIORITY, THE MOST IMPORTANT PRIORITY THAT WE HAVE. 
          AND SO I HOPE THAT YOU WILL CONTINUE TO FOLLOW THIS AND HOLD THE CITY MANAGER ACCOUNTABLE FOR ENFORCING THIS ORDINANCE RIGOROUSLY AND EQUITABLY. 
          AND AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO MY COMMENTS AND FOR YOUR SERVICE, MICHELLE MAHIA MICHELLE, PLEASE UNMUTE EMILIA . 
          HI, MY NAME IS AMELIA  AND I'M A RESIDENT OF DISTRICT SIX. 
          AND SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF THE TEXAS FAIR DEFENSE PROJECT AND OPPOSITION TO ITEM 36. 
          FIRST, I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR POSTPONING ITEM 36. 
          WE REALLY APPRECIATE THIS ACTION, BUT FOR FOLKS WHO MAY NOT KNOW, THE MUNICIPAL COURT HANDLES CLASSY ON FENCES, LARGELY ASSOCIATED WITH POVERTY AND THE NEW VOCAL AND STATEWIDE CAMPING BAN UNDER THE PROPOSED MARSHALL'S PROGRAM, PLEASE, WITH THE NEW NAME, WE'LL HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY TO SERVE WARRANTS FOR CLASSES AND FOR BOOKING AND TRANSPORTING FOLKS TO COURT OR DETENTION. 
          NOTHING ABOUT THESE ACTIONS QUALIFY AS REIMAGINING PUBLIC SAFETY UNDER HB 1925. 
          VIDEO CAN ENACT POLICIES THAT PROVIDE SERVICES INSTEAD OF TICKETS FOR FOLKS ACCUSED OF VIOLATING THE CAMPING BAN. 
          AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT WE SHOULD PRIORITIZE. 
          INSTEAD OF CREATING A MARSHALL PROGRAM, THE CITY CAN ADOPT A DIVERSION POLICY AND USE THAT $1.4 MILLION FROM THE RESERVE TO CONNECT FOLKS TO SERVICES RATHER THAN A CARCERAL SYSTEM. 
          THAT'S SO CONTINUED TO BE VIOLENTLY DISPLACED. 
          THE REVENUE FUNDS CAN GO TOWARDS PRESS TWO ORGANIZATIONS ON THE GROUND PAYING FOR PEOPLE'S EXTENDED HOTEL STAYS OR INCREASING ACCESS TO HOUSING VOUCHERS OR PERSONAL STORAGE INITIATIVE. 
          LAW ENFORCEMENT HAS LARGELY FAILED TO TREAT OFF NIGHTS IN A HUMANE AND DIGNIFIED MANNER THROUGH PROPERTY ENFORCEMENT AND APPROVING A MARSHALL'S PROGRAM WOULD ONLY BE ANOTHER FAILURE. 
          WE ASK THAT YOU PLEASE ENACT A DIVERSION POLICY FOR UN-DESIGNATED CAMPAIGN AND OPPOSE ANY FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF A MARSHALL'S PROGRAM. 
          THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. 
          THANK YOU FOR THAT. 
          REMEMBER THIS ITEM 36 HAS BEEN POSTPONED TO NOVEMBER 18TH. 
          GO AHEAD, MICHELLE. 
          MIHIR. 
          HI, I'M HERE. 
          CAN YOU HEAR ME? YES, GO AHEAD. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, MY NAME IS MICHELLE LIGIA, UM, AND I AM THE CHILDHOOD AND FAMILY HEALTH ORGANIZER WITH GO AUSTIN DEMOS, AUSTIN. 
          UM, I AM HERE TODAY IN SUPPORT OF ITEM 46 AS A COMMUNITY ORGANIZER WHO PREDOMINANTLY WORKS WITH EMILY, THE YOUNG CHILDREN, AND THOSE THAT CARE FOR THEM. 
          OUR NETWORK OF FRIENDS, FAMILY, AND NEIGHBOR CARE. 
          THE PANDEMIC POINTED US IN ACKNOWLEDGING HOW MUCH OUR CARE INFRASTRUCTURE IS UNDERFUNDED AND NOT PRIORITIZE. 
          IT POINTED US THAT PARENTS AND THOSE CARING FOR OTHERS CARING MUCH STRESS THAT WAS EXACERBATED BY COVID-19 AS A COMMUNITY. 
          AND AS A CITY, WE HAVE MEETINGS CONFERENCES. 
          WE DECIDE ON PROGRAMS AND BUDGETS AND RADICALLY. 
          DO WE HEAR THE VOICES OF THE DIRECT DIRECTLY IMPACTED? WHY? BECAUSE MEETINGS HAPPEN WHEN FOLKS WORK, SOMETIMES THEIR KIDS GET SICK. 
          THINGS COME UP CARETAKING AND BEING CIVICALLY ENGAGED. 
          SOMETIMES DON'T GO HAND IN HAND BECAUSE AS CARETAKERS WE PRIORITIZE THOSE, WE ARE CARING FOR, IF THERE HAS BEEN A SILVER LINING ABOUT ALL OF THIS HYBRID MEETINGS HAVE GIVEN OPTIONS TO PARENTS, TEACHERS, CAREGIVERS, TO BE MORE VOCAL ABOUT THEIR NEEDS. 
          WE NEED TO DO MORE, BUT I THINK THIS IS ONE STEP IN THE PAST, ON FOR ACCESSIBILITY. 
          BACK IN MAY WE AS GABA, WE WERE ABLE TO COORDINATE A PRESENTATION AROUND SUBSIDY CARE RECOMMENDATIONS AT AN EARLY CHILDHOOD COUNCIL. 
          [00:25:01]
WE HAD A PARENT, A CENTER DIRECTOR AND A HOME-BASED CHILDCARE PROVIDER WHO ALL SPOKE VIA THE COMFORT OF THEIR JOBS AND HOMES. 
          IT'S MOMENTS LIKE THOSE THAT WE, THAT MAKE ME REALIZE THAT WE NEED TO MAKE PARTICIPATION MORE ACCESSIBLE TO ALL OF OUR RESIDENTS. 
          THAT IS WHY WE ARE IN SUPPORTIVE ITEM 46.

                PROPOSITION 46  SO WE CAN CONTINUE TO EDUCATE REMOTELY. 
          YEAH,  FOR  THEN A  FOR  JUST BECAUSE THIS ISN'T A VERY GOOD OPTION FOR US BECAUSE WE ALL HAVE WORK AND CHILDREN AND THINGS TO DO AND WHERE WE'RE FAR AWAY. 
          SO THIS IS A MORE VIABLE WAY TO COMMUNICATE. 
           I'M ALSO IN FAVOR OF 48, AGAIN, NOT BIGGER, BUT  AND THE ONLY FACTOR. 
          SO THEY'LL STILL BE DEFENDING US, UH, THE RESIDENTS, IF THERE'S A NATURAL DISASTER. 
          YEAH. 
          IT'S  OR IT WOULD DENY ME THE  E HE WAS REALLY WARMING BECAUSE THE CLIMATE IS CHANGING AND WE DON'T HAVE, AND WE DON'T HAVE THE PREPARATION YES. 
          MORE IMPORTANT. 
          AND IT'S VERY IMPORTANT. 
          THAT IS IT. 
          THE NEXT SPEAKER IS FRANCIS . 
          CAN YOU HEAR ME? YES, PLEASE PROCEED. 
          UH, YES. 
          UM, MY NAME IS FRANCIS . 
          I'M A LONG-TIME RESIDENTS OF DEF SPRINGS AND A CLIMATE RESILIENCE COMMUNITY LEAD ORGANIZER WITH GABA GO AUSTIN, VAMOS AUSTIN. 
          I WANT TO THANK ALL OF YOU AND HIGHLIGHT COUNCIL MEMBER  FOR HER ADVOCACY. 
          I AM HERE IN SUPPORT OF ITEM 46 TO ENSURE REPRESENTATION AND COMMUNITIES THAT ARE MORE IMPACTED. 
          IT MAY NOT BE ABLE TO TAKE A DAY OFF TO RAISE THEIR VOICES. 
          I'M ALSO IN SUPPORT OF ITEM 48, AND I ASKED TO USE SECURE FUNDING FOR COMMUNITY PREPAREDNESS AND RESPONSE TRAININGS BY CONTRACTING, WITH OPPORTUNITIES WITH CD DEPARTMENTS THAT CURRENTLY PROVIDE SIMILAR SERVICES, AS WELL AS ADVOCATING FOR AND SUPPORTING AFFORDABLE FLOOD INSURANCE FOR HOMEOWNERS AND CONTENT INSURANCE FOR RENTERS ENSURE FUNDING FOR PRIOR TO PRIORITIZE A STORM WATER SYSTEMS, ADAPT ADAPTABILITY IN AREAS, MORE IMPACTED BY LOCALIZED FLOODING IN TRIBUTE AND TRIBUTARY WATER, WEIGHT MAINTENANCE ON A YEARLY BASIS TO MITIGATE FLOODING, PRIORITIZE GRID, INFRASTRUCTURE, AND NATURE BASED SOLUTIONS THAT CAN HAVE A POSITIVE HEALTH IMPACT ON CHRONIC ILLNESSES, STRESS, MENTAL HEALTH HIT MITIGATION WHILE WHILE, UH, LIFE RECREATION ACTIVITIES, PHYSICAL ACT, AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES, AS WELL AS WE KNOW, NATURE BASED SOLUTIONS ARE MORE AFFORDABLE LAST LONGER AND REQUIRES LESS, LESS, UM, 
          [00:30:02]
MAINTENANCE. 
          I DEMAND STREET REGULATIONS FOR FEEDING NEW DEVELOPERS SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO REPLACE TREES IN THE SAME AREA THAT THEY ARE CUTTING THEM. 
          AND LASTLY, I REQUEST THAT A MEMORIAL PLAQUE, UH, A MURAL BE PUT IN ONION CREEK, METRO PARK IN REMEMBRANCE OF THE LIGHTS AND PROPERTIES LOST DURING THE 2013 AND 2015 HALLOWEEN FLOOD. 
          THERE NEEDS TO BE AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT FOR RESIDENTS THAT ARE STILL GOING THROUGH THE TRAUMA OF HAVING LOST A LOVED ONE, OR HAVING LOST THEIR HOMES, NOT ONCE BUT TWICE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THAT'S ALL I HAVE. 
          AND I APPRECIATE YOUR, YOUR TIME, UM, FOR THAT YOU PUT WITH IT. 
          THANK YOU, PAUL AUSTIN. 
          GOOD MORNING. 
          MAYOR MEMBERS OF COUNCIL, PAUL KUDURO FROM THE AUSTIN APARTMENT ASSOCIATION WITH JUST A FEW QUICK COMMENTS ON ITEM 88, TO SAY THAT WE ACKNOWLEDGED THE WIND DOWN PROCESS FOR THIS 60 DAY NOTICE REQUIREMENT AND THE RELATED GOVERNMENT ORDERS. 
          THE NOTICE AS YOU KNOW, WAS PROPOSED, UH, WAS INACCURATE A YEAR AND A HALF AGO IN THE EARLY EIGHT EARLY AGENT STAGES OF A PANDEMIC. 
          THE PURPOSE OF THE REQUIREMENT WAS TO ALLOW RENTERS WHO MAY HAVE LOST WAGES OR EMPLOYMENT THROUGH NO FAULT OF THEIR OWN, TO SECURE TIME, TO SECURE RESOURCES AND ESTABLISH RENT ARRANGEMENTS. 
          THIS TEMPORARY REQUIREMENT HAS FULFILLED ITS PURPOSE MORE THAN 17,000 HOUSEHOLDS HAVE WORKED IN COOPERATION WITH THEIR RENTAL HOUSING PROVIDERS TO SECURE ASSISTANCE FROM THE CITY OF AUSTIN'S PROGRAM. 
          AND THE STATE OF TEXAS ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS HAS HELPED MORE THAN 7,500 HOUSEHOLDS IN TRAVIS COUNTY. 
          WITH MANY OF THOSE HOUSEHOLDS LOCATED IN THE CITY. 
          NOW THAT OFTEN HAS MADE UP ALL OF THE PANDEMIC, RIGHT? THE JOB LOSSES IN THE ECONOMY HAS ESSENTIALLY RETURNED TO PRE PANDEMIC CONDITIONS. 
          THE WIND DOWN OF THIS REQUIREMENT IS ENTIRELY APPROPRIATE, BUT IT DOES NOT SIGNAL THE END OF TENANT PROTECTIONS OR THE END OF RENTAL ASSISTANCE. 
          ACCORDING TO FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS, MANY PROPERTIES IN AUSTIN ARE CURRENTLY REQUIRED TO ISSUE 30 DAY NOTICES TO VACATE. 
          AND THOSE SITUATIONS WHEN NOTICES ARE REQUIRED, THE SUPREME COURT OF TEXAS REQUIRES THE JUSTICE OF THE PEACE COURTS TO GIVE INFORMATION ABOUT RENTAL SYSTEMS PROGRAMS, AND THE COURTS ARE AUTHORIZED TO STOP ANY PROCEEDINGS FOR 60 DAYS WHILE RENTAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATIONS ARE BEING PROCESSED. 
          AND THERE IS A NEW INFLUX OF RENTAL ASSISTANCE FUNDS TO ACCOMPANY THE EXTENSIVE OUTREACH CAMPAIGNS AIMED AT CONNECTING RESIDENTS AND PROPERTY OWNERS WITH AVAILABLE RESOURCES ENDING. 
          THIS REQUIREMENT IS IN KEEPING WITH GOOD GOVERNMENT PRACTICE TO END TEMPORARY COVID RELATED REGULATIONS. 
          THE POLICE KNOW THAT THE AUSTIN APARTMENT ASSOCIATION MEMBERS WILL CONTINUE WORKING WITH ELIGIBLE RESIDENTS TO SEEK RENTAL ASSISTANCE THAT MAY BE AVAILABLE FOR MANY MONTHS TO COME A MEMBER OF THE SAR. 
          MARY, I JUST WANT TO THANK MR. KUDURO. 
          I THINK WE CALL ACCIDENTALLY CALLED YOU PAUL AUSTIN, BECAUSE YOU'RE REFERRING THE AUSTIN APARTMENT ASSOCIATION. 
          I THINK THAT SOUNDS LIKE A COOL NAME TOO, BUT THANK YOU, MR. KUDURO JUST BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS, WE HAVEN'T ALWAYS BEEN EXACTLY ON THE SAME PAGE. 
          I APPRECIATE WHAT I'VE BEEN ABLE TO LEARN ABOUT WHAT YOUR MEMBERS ARE FACING TO MAKE SURE WE KEEP THEM FINANCIALLY AFLOAT. 
          UM, YOU UNDERSTANDING, UH, US TRYING TO MAKE THESE PROGRAMS WORK. 
          AND I THINK THAT TOGETHER, WE MADE SURE THAT, UH, SOME PROGRAMS THAT AT FIRST WEREN'T GETTING THE MONEY OUT TO TENANTS AND TO YOUR MEMBERS QUICKLY ENOUGH NOW ARE DOING MUCH BETTER. 
          UH, SO I APPRECIATE THE STAFF. 
          I APPRECIATE YOU STEPPING, UM, UP ON WORKING TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS WORKS THE BEST THAT IT CAN FOR LANDLORDS AND TENANTS IN A VERY DIFFICULT SITUATION FOR EVERYONE. 
          AND SO I JUST APPRECIATE YOU AND YOUR, YOUR MEMBERS, UH, AND YOUR BOARD ALONG WITH THE FOLKS AT, UH, THE BOARD OF REALTORS AS WE, UH, DO THIS EXTENSION OF RENTAL ASSISTANCE DOLLARS IN THIS, UM, EXTENSION OF THE ORDINANCE THROUGH THE END OF THE YEAR. 
          I JUST WANT TO ADD TO THAT REAL QUICKLY. 
          UM, UM, PAUL AND, AND THE STAFF AT THE AUSTIN APARTMENT ASSOCIATION AND AUSTIN BOARD OF REALTORS HAVE BEEN KIND OF AS A, NOT VERY VISIBLE, BUT SILENT PARTNERS. 
          WE'VE WORKED THROUGH, UM, MANY CITY ISSUES INCLUDING THIS ONE. 
          UH, WE'RE INVOLVED AT THE VERY BEGINNING, UH, WHEN, UH, WHEN I FIRST ISSUED, UH, THE ONE OF THE FIRST ORDERS ON EVICTIONS, UH, AND, AND, UH, I REALLY APPRECIATE THEIR, THEIR ADVICE AND SUGGESTIONS AS WE WORKED THROUGH THE PROCESS, DIDN'T ALWAYS AGREE ON ALL POINTS, BUT, UH, UM, MOSTLY, UM, AND, AND CERTAINLY UNIFIED IN, IN WANTING TO DO WHAT'S BEST FOR BOTH THE TENANTS AND FOR, UH, UH, LANDLORDS THROUGH A PANDEMIC WHO HAVE HAD TO CONTINUE TO MAKE A MORTGAGE PAYMENTS, UM, AND ALSO, UH, 
          [00:35:01]
BOTH, UH, FOR THE CONTINUED WORK AND PARTNERSHIP ON HELPING US ADDRESS HOMELESSNESS IN THE CITY AND HELPING US FIND PLACES FOR PEOPLE TO BE, UM, YOU DON'T COME BEFORE US VERY OFTEN, AND THEN YOU'RE HERE. 
          SO I JUST WANTED TO ADD MY THANKS AS WELL. 
          THERE WERE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT WORKED, UH, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER COSAR ON THE EVICTION STUFF. 
          THERE WERE SEVERAL THIS MORNING THAT SPOKE A LOT OF THE TENANT ADVOCACY GROUPS. 
          UM, IT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DID BEST, I THINK, UH, IN THIS PANDEMIC, UH, THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE, UH, WHO HAVE BEEN EVICTED IN AUSTIN SO MUCH LOWER THAN, AND ALMOST ANY OTHER MAJOR CITY, PROPER ALL OTHER MAJOR CITIES. 
          AND THAT'S ONE OF THE CONTRIBUTING REASONS WHY THE MORTALITY RATE FROM COVID IS, IS, IS HALF, UH, OF, UH, AUSTIN'S RATE IS ABOUT HALF OF WHAT IT IS IN THE, IN THE STATE AND THEN THE COUNTRY. 
          SO APPRECIATE THAT WORK. 
          YOU'RE WELCOME. 
          NEXT SPEAKER IS ZENOBIA ZENOBIA JOSEPH THANK YOU, MAYOR COUNCIL MEMBERS, I'M SYNOVIA. 
          JOSEPH. 
          MY COMMENTS ARE SPECIFICALLY RELATED TO AGENDA ITEM 32, WHICH IS SPECIFICALLY TO EXTEND THE AGREEMENT CONCERNING IMPLEMENTATION OF THE EAST 11TH AND 12TH STREETS, URBAN THE NEW PLAN BETWEEN CITY AND THE URBAN RENEWAL AGENCY TO SEPTEMBER 30TH, 2022. 
          I SIGNED UP NEUTRALLY ON THIS ITEM BECAUSE I DO SUPPORT A POSTPONEMENT. 
          HOWEVER, I WOULD RECOMMEND POSTPONING UNTIL JANUARY, 2023, AFTER THE MAYORAL RACE. 
          THIS WAS JUST TWO MONTHS PRIOR TO THE NOVEMBER, 2022 ELECTION. 
          AND I THINK IT WOULD BE IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE COMMUNITY. 
          IF THE NEW MAYOR WOULD ACTUALLY NEGOTIATE THIS PARTICULAR CONTRACT, I WANT TO CALL TO YOUR ATTENTION SPECIFICALLY IN RESPECTFULLY, UH, YOU'VE SHOWN AN AVERSION TO BLACK PEOPLE. 
          I WANT YOU TO RECALL BACK ON MARCH 4TH, 2021, THE APOLOGY THAT AFRICAN-AMERICANS INCLUDED DISCRIMINATION, URBAN RENEWAL POLICIES IN THE 1928 MASTER PLAN. 
          AND SO I WOULD ASK THE CITY MANAGER TO MA MARRY THOSE TWO ITEMS TOGETHER AS IT RELATES TO THIS STUDY, WHICH I THINK WE CAN ALL AGREE. 
          WE DON'T NEED ANOTHER STUDY TO PLAN AND RECOGNIZE THE ECONOMIC DETRIMENT TO AFRICAN-AMERICANS IN AUSTIN. 
          BUT AFTER I TESTIFIED JULY 29TH, 2021, BRIAN OAKS, THE EQUITY OFFICER POSTED THE NEXT DAY AN EXTENSION FOR THAT ITEM UNTIL JANUARY 31ST, 2022. 
          AND SO THEY'RE BOTH IN 2022. 
          SO I WOULD ASK YOU TO JUST PUT THOSE TWO ITEMS TOGETHER IN TANDEM. 
          WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE IS WILLFUL BLINDNESS, WHERE YOU HAVE TURNED A BLIND EYE TO THE NEEDS OF BLACK PEOPLE. 
          I WANT TO RECALL 2017 MAYOR, WHEN YOU ACTUALLY TALKED ABOUT AFRICAN-AMERICANS IN YOUR INSTITUTIONAL RACISM AND SYSTEMIC INEQUITIES REPORT, YOU ALSO TALKED ABOUT AFRICAN-AMERICANS IN 2015, WHEN YOU FIRST TOOK OFFICE, AS IT RELATES TO THE SPIRIT OF EAST AUSTIN IN 2017, THERE WERE THE OPPORTUNITY ZONE. 
          THEN YOU DID NOTHING AS IT RELATES TO THOSE 21 ZONES, THERE WAS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE COMMUNITY TO ACTUALLY REINVISION. 
          WHAT DO WE WANT IT TO SEE FOR AFRICAN-AMERICANS IN THAT AREA? LASTLY, I WOULD JUST SAY, AS IT RELATES TO THE 20 18, 19 20 EIGHTH AND 90TH YEAR, THE 1928 PLANTS, UH, IT REALLY DON'T NEED AN EQUITY SCORE CARD TO RECOGNIZE THAT BLACK PEOPLE WAIT 60 MINUTES FOR THE BUS IN NORTHEAST AUSTIN ONLY. 
          AND THE ONLY THING YOU'VE DONE RESPECTFULLY IS COME UP WITH ECHO DOT ATX, WHICH IS A SPANISH WORD FOR EQUITY. 
          UH, IT'S NOT EQUITABLE. 
          IT DOESN'T REFLECT WHAT YOU'VE DONE FOR AFRICAN-AMERICANS, BUT THERE'S A FOOTNOTE ON THAT WEBSITE THAT SAYS THE SPIRIT OF THE SAUCEPAN. 
          AND SO I'M LOOKING AT THE EXTENSION FROM BLIND, OH, JULY 30TH, 2021. 
          AND I WOULD ASK YOU TO RESPECTFULLY CONSIDER EXTENDING THIS PARTICULAR NEGOTIATION. 
          SURE. 
          YOU'RE OUT OF OFFICE. 
          YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS I'LL GLADLY ASK THEM AT THIS TIME, THAT CONCLUDES ALL OF THE CONSENT SPEAKERS. 
          GREAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UH, COLLEAGUES, THE CONSENT AGENDA IS ITEMS ONE THROUGH 48 AND 87 AND 88. 
          UM, BEFORE WE CONSIDER THEM, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER TOBY, DID YOU HAVE SOMETHING QUICK YOU WANTED TO DO ON 30 
          [00:40:01]
AND 47 AND, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER KITCHEN, I THINK HAD A COMMENT YOU WANTED TO MAKE AS WELL. 
          YES, I DO. 
          UM, ON THE, ON ITEM 30, IT IS MY FIRST OF ALL, I JUST WANT TO APPRECIATE THE STAFF FOR SPENDING SO MUCH TIME PREPARING THE MEMO, ANSWERING MANY OF MY QUESTIONS. 
          AND THEN ALSO MEETING WITH ME YESTERDAY TO GO OVER SOME ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS, UM, IN OUR CONVERSATIONS AND IN THE MEMO THAT THEY PROVIDED TO COUNCIL, THEY DID INDICATE THAT THAT, UH, THE AUTHORIZATION COULD BE LOWERED FROM WHERE IT IS IN THE BACKUP, UM, BY, BY $1.5 MILLION. 
          AND SO I WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE. 
          I WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE THE AUTHORIZATION TO AN INCREASE IN THE AMOUNT OF 2,550,960. 
          AND SO THAT'S THE FIRST NUMBER CHANGE. 
          AND THEN THE REST OF THE SENTENCE WILL READ FOR A REVISED TOTAL CONTRACT AMOUNT, NOT TO EXCEED 4 MILLION, 500,000. 
          AND IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT STAFF ARE COMFORTABLE WITH THAT APPROACH MANAGER. 
          IS THAT CORRECT? WE ARE COMFORTABLE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          OKAY. 
          ANY OBJECTION TO THAT CHANGE BEING MADE HEARING NONE, THE CHANGES MADE AND IT REMAINS, IT CHANGED IT'S ON THE CONSENT AGENDA. 
          REMEMBER TOBO 47. 
          GREAT. 
          AND I SHOULD JUST SAY, WELL, I'M FINDING MY CHANGE, THE CHANGE I NEED TO MAKE IN 47, THAT HAVEN'T GONE THROUGH THAT INFORMATION REALLY CAREFULLY ABOUT 30 WITH OUR STAFF. 
          IT DOES APPEAR THAT THAT'S A, UM, FISCALLY PRUDENT WAY TO PROCEED TO OUTSOURCE THE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT IN, UM, THE BUOY STREET UNDERPASS RESOLUTION. 
          THE OLD AUSTIN NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION WAS INADVERTENTLY CHANGED TO THE OLD WEST BOSTON NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION. 
          SO ON, ON 1 34 LINE 1 34, IF THAT STAKEHOLDER COULD PLEASE BE THE OLD AUSTIN NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION, OBJECTION TO THAT CHANGE BEING MADE, HEARING NONE THAT CHANGES MADE AND IT'S KEPT ON THE CONSENT AGENDA. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND WHILE YOU'RE ON THAT ITEM COUNTS, REMEMBER TOVAR, I THANK YOU FOR YOUR, FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP ON THAT, UH, ITEM. 
          I DID WANT TO ADDRESS THAT REAL BRIEFLY, UH, UH, WITH COLLEAGUES, UH, YOU KNOW, THERE WAS THAT UNDERPASS PROJECT THAT WAS IDENTIFIED AS A PRIORITY BY PRIOR COUNSEL. 
          IT WAS SPECIFICALLY INCLUDED IN THE, UH, TURF PROGRAM THAT WE HAD MONEY FOR AND OPTIONS GOING AWAY, UM, UH, BUT YET THAT NEED, AND THAT PRIORITY STILL EXISTS AS EARLIER IDENTIFIED. 
          AND I THINK IT'S PERFECTLY APPROPRIATE, UH, FOR, UM, UH, THE ACTION THAT, UM, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER TOVO IS RECOMMENDING THAT STAFF TAKE A LOOK AT THE AVAILABLE MONEY IN THAT TERMS AND SEE, UH, WHAT ALTERNATIVE MIGHT BE ABLE TO BE FUNDED WITH THOSE SAME DOLLARS TO ACHIEVE THAT OR CLOSE TO THE PURPOSE THAT WAS DONE, UM, THAT STILL LEAVES SOME ADDITIONAL MONEY PERHAPS IN THAT TERS. 
          AND AT SOME POINT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO ADOPT, UH, AND CONSIDER A POLICY WITH RESPECT TO WHAT WE DO WITH EXTRA MONEY THAT ARE IN TERS OR TIFS. 
          ONCE THE MONEY THAT WE, UH, HAD GATHERED HAS ACTUALLY BEEN SPENT ON WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE, BECAUSE IT'S A POLICY QUESTION, UH, WE CAN CONTINUE TO CHANGE THE, UH, PLAN. 
          WE CAN ADD ADDITIONAL PROJECTS IN THE TERRORS AND USE THE ADDITIONAL MONEY FOR PROJECTS THAT WERE NOT PART OF THE ORIGINAL PRIORITY LIST. 
          AND CERTAINLY THERE ARE NEEDS IN THIS AREA AND SOME HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED IN THE MASTER PLAN, AND WE COULD USE SOME OF THE TOUR'S DOLLARS FOR THOSE THINGS IN THOSE AREAS. 
          WE COULD ALSO SAY, UH, NOW THAT WE HAVE PAID FOR THE THINGS THAT THE TERMS WAS SUPPOSED TO PAY FOR, THAT WILL DISSOLVE THE TERS, UH, AND, UH, HAVING DISSOLVED THE TERRORS, THEN THAT MONEY GOES INTO THE GENERAL FUND, AND THEN WE CAN APPLY THAT MONEY SOMEWHERE ELSE IN THE CITY. 
          UH, IF WE FELT THAT THERE WERE A HIGHER PRIORITY SOMEWHERE ELSE IN THE CITY, THEN TAKING THAT MONEY AND PUTTING IT INTO THAT PLACE. 
          I IT'S MY INTENT TO BRING AN IFC TO COUNSEL, UH, THAT, THAT ASKS THE MANAGER TO HELP US, UM, UH, TAKE A LOOK AT THAT ISSUE AND COME UP WITH A GOVERNING POLICY FOR US WITH RESPECT TO, UH, THOSE SITUATIONS WHERE THERE'S EXTRA MONEY, ADDITIONAL MONEY THAT HAS NOT YET BEEN AUGMENTED, BUT, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER TOVA. 
          I APPRECIATE YOU, I APPRECIATE THE STAKEHOLDERS, UH, INCLUDING, UH, IN YOUR, UH, RESOLUTION, THE LANGUAGE THAT NOT ONLY 
          [00:45:01]
ASKS THE STAFF TO TAKE A LOOK AT OTHER NEEDS THAT ARE IN THAT AREA THAT COULD BE PAID FOR THE TOURIST, EXTRA TOURIST DOLLARS IN THAT AREA. 
          AND AGAIN, I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT SUBSTITUTE FOR THE OVERPASS. 
          I THINK THAT NEEDS TO BE MOVED FORWARD THAT WAS ALREADY PRIORITIZED, AND I THINK IT'S ENTIRELY APPROPRIATE THAT THAT MOVES FORWARD. 
          UH, BUT THERE'S ALSO A PARAGRAPH THAT I ASKED STAFF TO TAKE A LOOK AT HOW THOSE DOLLARS COULD ALSO BE USED IN OTHER PARTS OF THE CITY, AND TO TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT THE PRIORITIES ARE IN THE CITY AND COME BACK WITH A RECOMMENDATION, UH, ASSOCIATED WITH THAT, UM, UH, SPECIFICALLY LISTS AS, AS SOMETHING TO TAKE A LOOK AT WOULD BE HOMELESSNESS OR HOUSING. 
          I MEAN, IT COULD BE THAT THESE ARE DOLLARS THAT MIGHT BE OVER TO HELP WITH THE, UH, ONGOING OPERATIONS FOR THE HOMELESSNESS SYSTEM THAT WE SET UP THREE YEARS FROM. 
          NOW, WHEN WE'RE LOOKING FOR, HOW DO WE KEEP THIS THING CONTINUING TO GO? AND NONE OF THOSE DECISIONS ARE MADE. 
          THOSE THINGS ARE ALL LEFT, UH, OPEN. 
          UH, BUT, UH, THIS DOES FOCUS ON MOVING FORWARD WITH TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE SUBSTITUTE IS FOR THE, UH, OVERPASS. 
          UH, AND I AM, I AM, UH, SUPPORTIVE ON THAT. 
          SO, SO COUNCIL MEMBER TOBY, THANK YOU. 
          AND THANK YOU TO THE STAKEHOLDERS, UH, FOR, FOR THEIR WORK TOGETHER ON THIS, UH, COUNCILMAN POOL. 
          THANKS MAYOR. 
          AND I SHARE YOUR INTEREST IN, UM, LOOKING FORWARD ON HOW WE MIGHT MANAGE TERS ONCE, UM, THEY FOCUS, THE ORIGINAL FOCUS FOR THEM HAS BEEN ACHIEVED. 
          AND I WOULD, UM, IF YOU'VE GOT ROOM IN THAT SUB FORUM, I'D LIKE TO BE INCLUDED WELCOME ABOARD, THANKS AT THIS POINT, IT'S ME AND YOU. 
          UM, AND WE WOULD CERTAINLY INVITE OTHER PEOPLE TO PARTICIPATE AS WELL, BUT THE GOAL IS INTENT IS TO THROW IT OPEN TO THE COUNCIL, UH, FOR POLICY DISCUSSION AND NOT SO MUCH TO, TO, TO DIRECT, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER TOVO. 
          YES, I'D CERTAINLY LIKED TO BE INVOLVED IN THAT CONVERSATION. 
          AND I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO MAYBE KICK THAT ONE OFF WITH A CONVERSATION WITH OUR LEGAL STAFF. 
          WE, WE DID IN THE CON IN THE CONTEXT OF THE RESOLUTION, I BROUGHT, UM, HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO TALK WITH OUR LEGAL STAFF, AND I THINK THAT WOULD BE A PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATION FOR THE FULL COUNCIL BEFORE WE REALLY JUMP INTO THE POLICY CONVERSATIONS, REALLY UNDERSTAND WHETHER THERE ARE ANY LEGAL IMPEDIMENTS TO USING CHAIRS DOLLARS THAT WERE COLLECTED FOR ONE PARTICULAR PURPOSE IN ONE PARTICULAR AREA FOR, OR A DIFFERENT ONE, IF THAT'S SO THAT WE UNDERSTAND KIND OF WHAT THE PARAMETERS OF CONVERSATION NEED TO BE. 
          UM, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU, UM, SINCE WE'RE SAYING THANKS FOR THAT. 
          I REALLY WANT TO THANK AND APPRECIATE SHANNON HOLLY ON MY STAFF, WHO, WHO, UM, WRESTLED WITH THIS ISSUE OF THE, OF THE BUOY UNDERPASS AND CAME UP WITH A SOLUTION, WHICH I THINK IS A VERY GOOD ONE AND, AND MUCH NEEDED. 
          THERE ARE A LOT OF STAKEHOLDERS WHO ARE VERY, VERY INTERESTED IN A SOLUTION HERE. 
          AND I THINK THIS GETS US ON A GOOD PATH TO CONSIDERING WHAT THOSE OTHER SOLUTIONS WERE. 
          I WISH WE HAD HAD A BETTER RESULT THAT CAME THROUGH WITH OUR CONVERSATIONS WITH UNION PACIFIC. 
          BUT AS I UNDERSTAND, IT'S NOT FROM LACK OF OUR CITY STAFF AND THEIR EFFORTS IN THAT CONVERSATION. 
          UM, I DID NEGLECT ONE PIECE OF DIRECTION FOR ITEM 30, UM, AND ITEM 30, WHICH AS I SAID WITH THE CHANGE THAT, THAT I SUGGESTED, I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO PROVIDE DIRECTIONS, ANY MANAGER THAT IN, IN THE FUTURE, WHEN WE ARE CONTEMPLATING NEW BUILDINGS OR SIGNIFICANT REDEVELOPMENTS OF CITY FACILITIES, THAT THE FISCAL NOTE FOR THAT ALSO INCLUDE ESTIMATED. 
          AND I UNDERSTAND THAT ESTIMATE IS GOING TO BE ROUGH, BUT ESTIMATED COSTS FOR OPERATING AND MAINTAINING IT, UM, IN THIS CASE, OUR BEST INFORMATION AT THIS POINT SUGGESTS THAT THAT PIECE OF INFORMATION WASN'T, WASN'T PRESENTED TO THE COUNCIL WHEN WE WERE CONSIDERING THE COSTS OF CONSTRUCTING A NEW PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BUILDING. 
          AND I THINK IT SHOULD BE PART OF THAT IF YOU'RE INCREASING THE SPACE, YOU KNOW, THAT IS GOING TO INCREASE THOSE ONGOING PROPERTY MAINTENANCE COSTS AND, AND SHOULD BE PART OF THE INITIAL DELIBERATION. 
          SO IF YOU NEED ME TO BRING AN IFC TO DO THAT ONE, UM, POLICY MEASURE, I SURE CAN. 
          BUT IF YOU WERE ABLE TO JUST TAKE THAT AS DIRECTION, INCORPORATE THAT AS A MATTER OF COURSE IN THE FUTURE, THAT WOULD, THAT WOULD BE MY DIRECTION IF THE COUNCIL, IF MY COLLEAGUES AGREE, CERTAINLY WE CAN TAKE THAT DIRECTION. 
          THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER. 
          OKAY. 
          COLLEAGUES GOT ACCOUNTS ON HER KITCHEN. 
          DID YOU HAVE SOMETHING YOU WANTED TO DO? UM, I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU FOR, UM, POSTPONING POSTPONING, EXCUSE ME, ITEM NUMBER 36, WHICH, UH, RELATES TO THE CREATION OF A, I THINK IT'S CALLED STYLE, THE CITY MARSHAL OFFICE. 
          UM, I'M WANTING TO ASK, UM, WHAT KIND OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, WELL, ACTUALLY WHAT I'M WANTING TO SUGGEST THAT BETWEEN NOW AND NOVEMBER 18TH, WHEN IT COMES BACK THAT THIS ITEM BE BROUGHT TO OUR BOARDS AND COMMITTEES, 
          [00:50:01]
ARE OUR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS. 
          IT'S THE, UH, PUBLIC SAFETY COMMISSION. 
          UM, I THINK IT WOULD ALSO BE RELEVANT IF, IF THERE'S A SCHEDULED MEETING, I DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS, BUT, UM, OUR COUNCIL PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE. 
          AND AGAIN, I'D LEAVE THAT UP TO THE CHAIRS OF THAT COMMITTEE, WHETHER THEY WOULD WANT TO HAVE THAT COME TO THEM. 
          UH, BUT I THINK THIS IS AN ITEM THAT NEEDS SOME PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT AND THE, AND THOSE ARE OUR TWO FORUMS. I MEAN, THERE'S OTHER BEANS FOR PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT OBVIOUSLY, BUT THOSE ARE OUR TWO FORUMS THAT ARE SET UP TO DO THAT. 
          SO COULD WE, COULD WE DO THAT? COULD WE BRING IT TO OUR PUBLIC SAFETY COMMISSION? AND IF THE CHAIR DESIRES TO OUR PUB, OUR COUNCIL PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE COMES TO MY BROTHER, HAS TO HAVE TO CHECK WITH STAFF ON THE TIMING, UH, TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE THAT, BUT WE CAN GET BACK TO, UH, KNOWING THAT THAT'S THE DIRECTION. 
          THAT'S GREAT. 
          IF WE NEED TO PUSH THE DATE BACK THEN, I THINK WE SHOULD, UH, TO ALLOW THAT TO GO TO THAT COMMISSION. 
          THANK YOU. 
          YES. 
          THAT'S NUMBER ELLIS. 
          BEFORE WE DID OUR CONSENT VOTE. 
          I JUST WANTED TO, UM, EXTEND MY APPRECIATION FOR ALL OF THE GOOD ITEMS COMING FROM COUNCIL THIS WEEK. 
          UM, THE MAYOR PRO TEM HAS ONE ABOUT THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT, WHICH IS GOING TO HELP ONE OF MY CONSTITUENTS WHO WAS FOUND THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS, UM, UH, A LITTLE BIT UNAPPROACHABLE OR DIFFICULT TO ACCESS. 
          SO I'M VERY EXCITED THAT, THAT SHE BROUGHT THAT, UM, MAYOR, I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR REMOTE TESTIMONY RESOLUTION WOULD LIKE TO BE SHOWN, UM, AS CO-SPONSOR, IF THAT IS ACCEPTABLE TO YOU. 
          UM, AND THEN COUNCIL MEMBER TO-DOS BIKE AND PAD CONNECTIVITY, I THINK IS REALLY INNOVATIVE. 
          AND I WAS GLAD TO GET, TO HAVE MY INPUT ON YOUR RESOLUTION, WHICH WAS FANTASTIC. 
          AND THEN COUNCIL MEMBER FUENTES ON FLOOD RESILIENCE AND EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS. 
          THESE ARE JUST REALLY GOOD RESOLUTIONS THAT CAME OUT OF MY COLLEAGUES THIS WEEK. 
          SO I WANTED TO SAY, UM, THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THEM AND GOOD WORK. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND WITH THE CLERK, PLEASE NOTE THAT ADDITIONAL SPONSORSHIP, UH, ON THAT, UH, ITEM  SAR, THEN COUNCIL MEMBER ALTAR, MARY. 
          I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR PARTNERSHIP AND WORK ON THE ORDERS. 
          I KNOW THAT IT HAS NOT BEEN THE EASIEST YEAR AND A HALF TO BE THE MAYOR OF ANY CITY IN THE COUNTRY. 
          AND, UM, AND IT'S HARD TO, UH, CELEBRATE ANYTHING IN THIS LAST YEAR AND A HALF, BUT I THINK THAT WE HAVE REALLY LED THE WAY, UH, ON ADDRESSING EVICTIONS AND YOUR ORDERS AND THE COUNTY JUDGES ORDERS AND THE JUSTICE OF THE PEACE HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB. 
          AND I APPRECIATE, UH, THE COUNCIL AND OUR CO-SPONSORS AND EVERYONE ON, ON OUR ORDINANCE, BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS A FEDERAL MORATORIUM, SUPPOSEDLY ON EVICTIONS, WE'VE SEEN 25,000 OF THEM. 
          AND MOST OF THE OTHER BIG CITIES IN THE STATE, UH, AND JUST OVER 1500 EVICTIONS FILED IN AUSTIN SO MUCH LOWER IN HOUSTON IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS, THEY'VE HAD MORE EVICTIONS FILED THAN WE HAVE HAD IN THE ENTIRE PANDEMIC. 
          AND WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT BY DISTRIBUTING FUNDING, TO TENANTS THAT GETS TO LANDLORDS. 
          I APPRECIATE THE COUNCIL WORKING TOGETHER, UH, LAST SUMMER TO SET ASIDE THIS NEARLY 7 MILLION ADDITIONAL DOLLARS, UM, THAT WILL BE GOING TO OUR RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, UH, AND JUST APPRECIATE EVERYONE'S WORK HERE BECAUSE TOGETHER WE HAVE MANAGED TO AVERT THE LARGE WAVE OF EVICTIONS THAT WE SAW IN THIS CITY AFTER THE FINANCIAL CRISIS IN TWO EIGHT THROUGH 2010. 
          UH, AND WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE DOING THIS WORK, UM, BY EXTENDING THE ORDINANCE THROUGH THE END OF THE YEAR. 
          UH, I ALSO DO WANT TO JUST THANK ALL OF MY COLLEAGUES FOR ALL THE OTHER GOOD WORK AND ITEMS ON THE AGENDA I WANTED TO SEE FROM COUNCIL MEMBER FUNDUS, IF I COULD BE ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR HER ITEM ON, ON, ON FLOODING, IT'S JUST SUCH AN IMPORTANT ISSUE. 
          UH, AND ESPECIALLY LAST NIGHT, JUST HEARING FROM PEOPLE AND, AND FLOODPLAINS AND PEOPLE KNOWING, UH, FEELING THAT LEVEL OF ANXIETY. 
          I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO BOTH MEMORIALIZE THE FLOODS AND THE LIVES LOST OF THE PAST SO THAT WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN. 
          I THINK THAT WAS A THUMBS UP FROM THE COUNCIL MEMBER FOR THE CLERK. 
          YEAH. 
          CATHERINE, FOR THIS, I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO BE LISTED AS A SPONSOR ON THAT ITEM AS WELL.

          AND THANK YOU MAYOR FOR BRINGING FORWARD ITEM 46. 
          IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE THAT REMOTE PARTICIPATION.

          AND IF IT'S OKAY WITH YOU, MAY I PLEASE CO-SPONSOR THAT AS WELL? YES, ABSOLUTELY. 
          THANK YOU.

           THANK YOU COLLEAGUES. 
          AS YOU KNOW, UM, WE ARE GOING TO BE TAKING A VOTE HERE SHORTLY ON AN ITEM. 
          I'M BRINGING FORWARD ITEM 48 AROUND FLOOD RESILIENCE, AND IT'S NOT LOST ON ME THAT TODAY, AS WE CONSIDER THIS POLICY INITIATIVE, THAT MUCH OF OUR COUNTY AND PARTICULARLY MY DISTRICT IS IN A FLASH FLOOD WARNING. 
          UM, SO JUST HIGHLIGHTS THE IMMEDIATE NEED THAT WE HAVE FOR OUR COMMUNITY AS PART OF REPRESENTING AUSTIN THAT'S IN CENTRAL TEXAS KNOWN AS FLASH FLOOD ALLEY. 
          UM, ONE OF MY FIRST RESOLUTIONS I BROUGHT FORWARD AS A COUNCIL MEMBER AT MY FIRST COUNCIL MEETING WAS AROUND FLOOD RESILIENCE AND THAT POLICY, AND I'M GRATEFUL FOR THE UNANIMOUS SUPPORT ON, ON THAT INITIATIVE, UM, ASKED STAFF TO DEVELOP A SCOPE OF WORK AROUND THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A RESILIENT AND EQUITABLE COMMUNITY PLAN TO ADDRESS, UH, INDIVIDUALS EXPERIENCING A DEVASTATING IMPACT FROM FLOODING. 
          WE ALSO ASKED CITY STAFF TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT CAME OUT OF THE FLOOD MITIGATION TASK FORCE THAT WAS FORMED A FEW YEARS AGO. 
          AND WE ALSO ASKED STAFF TO TAKE A LOOK AT LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS FOR BOTH NEW AND REDEVELOPMENT. 
          AND IT WAS THROUGH THAT FIRST POLICY INITIATIVE THAT WE RECEIVED AN UPDATE FROM CITY STAFF. 
          AND THAT LEADS US TO THIS, WHAT I LIKE TO CALL PART TWO OF OUR FLOOD RESILIENCE WORK. 
          AND THANK YOU TO, UH, GOD-MAN YANEZ PALITO FOR HIGHLIGHTING THAT THERE HAS BEEN SEVERAL RESOLUTIONS ON THIS AREA. 
          AND SO I KNOW THAT I AM JUST CONTINUING THAT WORK AND BUILDING OFF OF, UM, THE MOMENTUM. 
          SO WITH THIS ITEM ITEM NUMBER 48, WE'RE ASKING FIRST AND FOREMOST FOR THE INSTALLATION OF A MEMORIAL PLAQUE AT ONION CREEK METRO PARK IN REMEMBRANCE OF THE LIVES AND PROPERTY LOSS DURING THE 2013 AND 2015 HALLOWEEN FLOODS.

          WE KNOW THAT, UM, AS PART OF THIS WORK, UM, I GUESS REALLY, I DON'T WANT TO, THE HEART OF THIS IS TAKING A MOMENT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE HALLOWEEN FLOOD OF 2013 RESULTED IN 745 HOMES THAT RECEIVE SOME LEVEL OF FLOOD DAMAGE AND OF THESE 116 OR COMPLETELY DESTROYED. 
          AND THE HALLOWEEN FLOOD OF 2015, WE HAD 3000 OVER 3000 RESIDENCES THAT WERE DAMAGED AND THE INDIVIDUAL COSTS ESTIMATE WAS NEARLY $40 MILLION. 
          UM, AND AS PART OF OUR RECOGNITION, I DID WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT TO RECOGNIZE THE INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE LOST DURING THE HISTORICAL HALLOWEEN FLOODS, SO THAT WE WON'T FORGET THEIR NAMES.

          AND SO, UH, THE WORK THAT THAT YOU'RE DOING NOW TO CONTINUE THE EFFORTS THAT THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS HAVE BEEN ENGAGED IN IS, IS NECESSARY AND IMPORTANT. 
          UM, AND AS WE CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE WATERSHED DEPARTMENT AS THEY UP AS THEY, UM, UM, UPDATE THEIR FLOOD MITIGATION PLANNING, WHICH IS PART OF THEIR OVERALL STRATEGIC PLAN WILL NEED TO BE LOOKING AT THAT, UH, WITH, UM, THE RECOMMENDATIONS MADE IN, BY THE FLOOD MITIGATION TASK FORCE AS A, AS, AS A GUIDE, UH, THE FLOOD MITIGATION TASK FORCE IS SOMETHING THAT THIS COUNCIL PUT TOGETHER RIGHT AFTER THOSE HALLOWEEN FLOODS. 
          AND, UM, I WANT TO THANK AGAIN, THE, UH, COMMUNITY MEMBERS THAT, THAT PARTICIPATED IN THAT WITH, ALONG WITH THEIR STAFF AND CAME UP WITH SOME VERY THOUGHTFUL, IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATIONS, UH, THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO WORK ON. 
          I KNOW THIS IS A VERY STRESSFUL TIME, UH, BOTH BECAUSE WE'RE NEARING HALLOWEEN AND BECAUSE OF THE RAIN, LIKE THE RAIN WE HAD LAST NIGHT. 
          SO FOR ALL OF OUR CONSTITUENTS ALONG ONION CREEK, AS WELL AS OTHER PARTS OF THE CITY, UM, I WANT YOU ALL TO KNOW THAT WE'RE STILL, THAT WE ARE CONTINUING TO PAY INTENTION TO FLOOD MITIGATION AND CONTINUING THAT WORK. 
          SO, UH, THANK YOU, UM, COUNCIL MEMBER , UM, FOR CONTINUING, FOR LEADING ON THAT EFFORT. 
          SO I WANTED TO JUST MARK ONE OF THE THINGS THERE'S SO MANY THINGS ON THIS AGENDA THAT ARE, ARE EXCELLENT. 
          AND I WANT TO THANK MY COLLEAGUES FOR THAT, BUT I ALSO WANTED TO MARK ITEM NUMBER 38, WHICH IS, UM, THE, UM, UH, CASE MANAGEMENT SERVICES FOR TWO, THE OTHER ONE'S FOUNDATION. 
          THE OTHER ONE'S FOUNDATION HAS BEEN REALLY STEPPING UP TO THE PLATE RECENTLY IN TERMS OF PROVIDING SERVICES FOR OUR, UH, HOMELESS NEIGHBORS. 
          AND I WANT TO THANK THEM FOR THE WORK THAT THEY'RE DOING AND APPRECIATE THE PARTNERSHIP THAT THE CITY IS CREATING WITH THEM. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THAT WAS GOOD. 
          I REMEMBER IN THIRD YEAR YOU HAVE FELT ALSO WANT TO MAKE A COUNCIL MEMBER WENT TO, UH, UM, YOU KNOW, UH, WE'RE, WE'RE IN A PERIOD RIGHT NOW WHERE, YOU KNOW, HISTORICALLY THIS IS A TIME WHERE FLOODING HAPPENS. 
          THERE'S A MEMORIAL DAY OR BOTH, YOU KNOW, AND I WENT OVER THERE TO ONION CREEK AND HELP SOME OF THE PEOPLE CLEAN OUT THEIR HOUSE. 
          AND I SAW THE HURT AND THE TRAGEDY THAT HAPPENED TO A LOT OF THESE PEOPLE AND THEIR STORY WAS JUST AMAZING. 
          I ACTUALLY WENT DOWN TO ONION CREEK, UH, A GOLF CLUB AND SAW THAT THE FOREST OF FLOODING, IT JUST ROLLED UP ALL THAT GRASS ON THE GOLF FIELD, BEHIND ONION CREEK. 
          THEY JUST ROLLED IT UP INTO BIG OLD CHUNKS, ALMOST 40 FEET HIGH. 
          AND I JUST, IT WAS JUST AMAZING. 
          YOU KNOW, ALSO MY, MY AREA THERE AT WILLIAMSON CREEK IN MY DISTRICT ALSO HAD FLOODING DOWN THERE. 
          AND IT WAS JUST, UH, JUST, JUST TO GO DOWN THERE AND SEE THE FOREST OR WHAT NATURE CAN DO AND WHAT HAVE DEVELOPMENT HAVE DONE TO, TO, TO AUSTIN, NO WORK WHERE, UH, IN THE FUTURE WE'RE GOING TO BE FACING, YOU KNOW, THAT, THAT REPORT THAT CAME OUT THERE, IT'S 34,000.

          COLLINS. 
          IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA, WHICH IS ITEMS ONE THROUGH 48, 87 AND 88, BUT WITH ITEM NUMBER 31 PULLED COUNCILMEMBER COSAR MAKES THE MOTION. 
          IS THERE A SECOND TO THE MOTION THAT'S MEMBER ALTER SECONDS, ANY DISCUSSION, LET'S TAKE A, VOTE THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE CONSENT AGENDA WITH THE NOTATIONS AND COMMENTS NOTED. 
          PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND. 
          UH, I THINK THAT IS, UH, UNANIMOUS, UH, IN FAVOR, WOULD COUNCIL WITH THE MAYOR PRO TEM OFF THE DESK COUNCIL MEMBER TOVA 
          [31. Authorize negotiation and execution of a contract with Found Design LLC d/b/a Merje, to provide planning and design services, for a term of two years in an amount not to exceed $250,000. (Note: This solicitation was reviewed for subconsultant opportunities in accordance with City Code Chapter 2-9C Minority Owned and Women Owned Business Enterprise Procurement Program. For the services required for this solicitation, there were no subconsultant opportunities; therefore, no subconsultant goals were established.).]
WOULD YOU WANT TO BRING UP, UH, ITEM 31? YES. 
          THANK YOU, MAYOR. 
          UM, I NEED TO JUST CHECK AND MAKE SURE HAS THE, HAS MY AMENDMENT BEEN DISTRIBUTED? NOT ON THE, THIS, OKAY. 
          I CAN READ, I CAN READ IT ALOUD AS NEEDED. 
          SO COLLEAGUES, WE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY THAT THIS LAST, AT THE LAST MEETING TO TALK ABOUT THIS ITEM, UM, THIS IS AN ITEM FOR WAYFINDING AND I EXPRESSED MY CONCERN ABOUT, ABOUT SOME PIECES OF IT, WHICH WERE INITIATED QUITE A LONG TIME AGO. 
          SO I HAVE, UH, I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS FOR STAFF. 
          I HAVE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH THEM. 
          I BELIEVE THEY HAVE, THERE'S BEEN SOME ONGOING CONVERSATION ABOUT HOW TO TRUNCATE THE TIMEFRAME. 
          AND SO I WOULD ASK I, AS I UNDERSTAND MY MOST RECENT CORRESPONDENCE FROM DIRECTOR HOLT REP IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, THE TWO YEAR TIMEFRAME COULD BE TRUNCATED TO ONE YEAR. 
          THEY BELIEVE THE CONSULTANT COULD DO IT IN ONE YEAR. 
          I WOULD STILL LIKE, I WOULD STILL LIKE TO PRIORITIZE AND FAST TRACK, UM, THE, THAT SIGNAGE RELATED TO THE MEXICAN AMERICAN HERITAGE CORRIDOR. 
          AND WHEN YOU GET THE MOTION SHEET FROM MY OFFICE, YOU'LL SEE SOME OF THE HISTORY OF THIS. 
          I'M GOING TO RECAP IT. 
          I'M NOT GOING TO GO INTO IT. 
          UM, A LOT OF THIS WAS RECAPPED IN A PALM DISTRICT PLAN, BUT WHEN YOU SEE MY AMENDMENT TODAY, WE'VE RECAPPED THAT AGAIN. 
          UM, IN 2011, I'M JUST GOING TO MAKE IT VERY SHORT, BUT I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS IN 2011. 
          UH, THE COMMISSIONER'S COURT APPROVED A RESOLUTION TO COLLABORATE WITH MEXICO AND THE CITY OF AUSTIN AND CREATING THE FIFTH STREET MEXICAN-AMERICAN HERITAGE CORRIDOR. 
          UH, SEVERAL MONTHS LATER, THE CITY COUNCIL PASSED A VERY SIMILAR RESOLUTION DOING THE SAME AND, UM, PRIORITIZING, UH, EMPHASIZING THAT IT WANTED TO CONNECT IN DOWNTOWN, UH, THAT IT WANTED THAT IT SAW THE FIFTH STREET, MEXICAN AMERICAN CULTURAL HERITAGE CORRIDOR AS A KEY PIECE OF CONNECTING AND ENHANCING DOWNTOWN'S NETWORK OF PUBLIC PARKS AND STREETS, AND AN OPPORTUNITY TO REALLY CELEBRATE THE DISTINCT CULTURE AND IDENTITY OF THAT AREA. 
          IN 2013, THE HISPANIC AND LATINO QUALITY OF LIFE INITIATIVE RECOMMENDED THAT THE CITY DESIGNATE A SEGMENT OF FIFTH STREET AS, AS SUCH A CORRIDOR, UM, AND THAT IT DEVELOPED A PLAN TO REALLY AMPLIFY THE HISTORY OF THE MEXICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY IN DOWNTOWN AUSTIN IN, AND THEN THERE WERE SEVERAL OTHER CITY DOCUMENTS. 
          ONE WAS A RESOLUTION ABOUT MEXICO TODAY. 
          ONE WAS OUR DOWNTOWN AUSTIN WAYFINDING MASTER PLAN, WHICH, UM, I'M USING THE OLD LANGUAGE ON THAT. 
          NOW WE REFER TO AS COMPREHENSIVE PLANS, BUT THAT PLAN IDENTIFIED WAYFINDING FOR THIS CORRIDOR AS A PRIORITY. 
          AND THEN, AND THEN WE'VE KIND OF FAST FORWARD TO 2019 AND 2019. 
          I BROUGHT FORWARD THE PALM DISTRICT PLAN, WHICH INCLUDED LOTS OF DIFFERENT ELEMENTS, INCLUDING SAYING, YOU KNOW, ALL OF THIS HISTORY AS, UH, HAS HAPPENED. 
          WE'VE HAD ALL OF THESE ASSERTIONS AND, AND HIGH, UH, AND, UM, EXPRESSIONS OF SUPPORT FOR CREATING BOTH THE DISTRICT AND THE CORRIDOR. 
          SO CITY MANAGER, UM, PLEASE GO FORWARD AND DO SEVERAL THINGS. 
          THE MANAGER HAD ALREADY BEEN DIRECTED IN A PREVIOUS ACTION TO IDENTIFY WHETHER HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAXES WERE INELIGIBLE, COULD BE USED TO CREATE THE SIGNAGE. 
          AND WE HAD NOT HEARD A REPORT BACK. 
          SO THE PALM DISTRICT RESOLUTION SAID REPORT BACK IF IT'S APPROPRIATE, INCLUDED IN THIS YEAR'S BUDGET AND BEGIN THE STEPS NECESSARY, INCLUDING THE STAKEHOLDER MEETINGS TO CREATE THAT CORRIDOR AND SUBMIT IT FOR APPROPRIATE RECOGNITION, THE MONEY WAS INCLUDED IN THE BUDGET. 
          WE STILL DON'T HAVE THE SIGNS TODAY. 
          WE'RE AT BEING ASKED TO TAKE ACTION ON A MUCH BROADER EFFORT AND, AND THE STAFF ARE PROBABLY BETTER ABLE TO DESCRIBE IT THAN I AM BECAUSE I'M STILL TRYING TO UNDERSTAND. 
          I AM STILL TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE CONTRACT THAT IS ON OUR AGENDA, THE WORK THAT THE STAFF ARE DOING ON THE DATA DOWNTOWN WAY-FINDING PLAN, SOME OF WHICH HAS ALREADY BEEN ROLLED OUT. 
          AND THE ACTION THAT WE INITIATED AND FRANKLY HAD THOUGHT WOULD BE COMPLETED BY NOW. 
          SO ALL OF THAT 
          [01:10:01]
BACKGROUND TO SAY TODAY, WE HAVE THAT CONTRACT ON THE AGENDA. 
          I APPRECIATE STAFF'S WILLINGNESS TO GET THE CONTRACTOR TO DO IT IN ONE YEAR, RATHER THAN TWO YEARS. 
          I DO THINK WE NEED TO PRIORITIZE GETTING, GETTING THE SIGNAGE DONE FOR THE MEXICAN AMERICAN HERITAGE CORRIDOR. 
          AND SO MY DIRECTION IS AS FOLLOWS AND I SHOULD PREFACE IT BY SAYING THE COMMUNITY VARIOUS COMMUNITY GROUPS HAVE SUBMITTED MAPS, IDENTIFYING SITES THAT THEY BELIEVE SHOULD BE INCLUDED. 
          SO I APPRECIATE THE CONSULTANTS AND TEND TO KIND OF GO OUT AND CAN BE IN COMMUNITY MEETINGS AND HAVE FEEDBACK, AND THEN USE THAT FEEDBACK TO BOTH IDENTIFY SITES AND CREATING AND, AND TO CREATE KIND OF A GENERAL BRANDING FOR DIFFERENT AREAS THAT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE OTHER DISTRICTS, BUT DISTINCT TO A PARTICULAR DISTRICT. 
          BUT, YOU KNOW, AT THE END OF THE DAY, SOME OF THIS WORK HAS BEEN IN PROCESS SINCE 2013. 
          AND I WANT TO SEE THOSE SIGNS, UM, UP SOONER THAN SOONER THAN EVEN A YEAR. 
          OKAY. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER OF TOVO A COPY OF YOUR MOTION SHEET HAS BEEN EMAILED OUT JUST TWO OR THREE MINUTES AGO, ALL THE COUNCIL MEMBERS. 
          WELL, I APPRECIATE THAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          I STALLED LONG ENOUGH FOR EVERYBODY TO GET THE INFORMATION THEY NEED, I GUESS. 
          BUT ANYWAY, I SIGNED UP IN A HISTORY, UM, WORKING WITH THE MAP THAT THAT COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND OUR HISPANIC LATINO QUALITY OF LIFE COMMISSION HAVE DEVELOPED THROUGH THE YEARS AND IDENTIFYING VARIOUS SITES OF THAT ARE, ARE DESERVING OF RECOGNITION. 
          I'M OFFERING THE FOLLOWING DIRECTION, JUST CUTTING TO THE CHASE THAT THE SIGNAGE BE DESIGNED AND INSTALLED NO LATER THAN FOUR MONTHS FROM THIS DATE, ADDITIONAL SITES MIGHT BE IDENTIFIED THROUGH A LONGER STAKEHOLDER PROCESS AND THAT SIGNAGE CAN BE ADJUSTED OR ADDED. 
          SO ALL THIS HAPPENS IS REALLY UP TO THE STAFF. 
          THEY COULD BEGIN WITH THE MAP THAT WE PROVIDED BACK IN 2019, AND SOME OF THOSE MATERIALS THAT HAVE BEEN PROVIDED TO THE STAFF AND HAVE A COUPLE OF COMMUNITY FORUMS OR A COMMUNITY MEETING PRETTY QUICKLY IN A SPEAK UP AUSTIN SITE FOR ADDITIONAL FEEDBACK. 
          BUT MY INTENTION IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT SIGNAGE IS, IS REALLY UP AND VISIBLE WITHIN A MUCH SHORTER TIMEFRAME. 
          SO THAT'S THE SUBSTANCE OF MY AMENDMENT. 
          AND, UM, I GUESS WE DON'T HAVE A MOTION ON THE TABLE TO APPROVE IT. 
          SO I WOULD, I WOULD ALSO MOVE APPROVAL OF, OF THE WAYFINDING ITEM WITH NOTING THE ADJUSTMENT OF ONE YEAR FROM TWO AND THIS ADDITIONAL DIRECTION TO DO THE SIGNAGE FOR THE MEXICAN AMERICAN HERITAGE CORRIDOR WITHIN, WITHIN THE NEXT FOUR TO SIX, FOUR MONTHS, FOUR TO SIX, IF THAT'S MORE REASONABLE. 
          AND I BELIEVE THAT OUR PURCHASING STAFF MAY HAVE SOME, I'M SORRY, I HAVE GOTTEN SOME COMMUNICATIONS FROM OUR PURCHASING STAFF, AND I'M NOT ENTIRELY CLEAR ON WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING, SO THEY MAY HAVE SOME COMMENTS. 
          AND WE MAY ALSO WANT TO HEAR FROM OUR TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT ABOUT THE WORK THEY'RE DOING TO ROLL OUT PHASE TWO OF DOWNTOWN WAYFINDING AND THE WAYS IN WHICH THIS CONNECTS TO, TO WHAT I'M SUGGESTING WE DIRECT HERE TO, OKAY. 
          I REMEMBER TOBO MAKES A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM 31 WITH THE, UH, TWO CHANGES TWO TO ONE YEAR, AND THE FOCUS SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER, RENTER, MARIA. 
          UH, THE STAFF WANT TO COMMENT, UH, ON, ON THIS MANAGER, WE DO, WE ARE REVIEWING ADS AND JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE IT'S FEASIBLE. 
          I KNOW MR. SCARBOROUGH HAS SOMETHING TO ADD. 
          MAYOR COUNCIL MEMBERS, CITY MANAGER, JAMES GARBER, PURCHASING OFFICE. 
          UH, WE, WE ARE AWARE OF THE, UH, COUNCIL MEMBERS, UH, UH, PRIORITY FOR THE TIMING OF THE SERVICES PROVIDED UNDER THE, UNDER THE, UH, REQUESTED CONTRACT AND HAVE COMMUNICATED TO THE CONTRACTOR, A DESIRE TO, UH, UM, IMPLEMENT THEIR PROPOSED SERVICES ON A EXPEDITED BASIS. 
          WE HAVE HEARD A POSITIVE RESPONSES IN THAT REGARD, UM, BUT WE WOULD STILL NEED TO NEGOTIATE THE DEALS, UH, THE DETAILS OF, UH, OF ANY, ANY EXPEDITED SCHEDULE. 
          UH, SO TO THE EXTENT THAT MARIN COUNCIL WOULD LIKE TO, UM, UM, LIMIT THE AUTHORIZATION OF ITEM, UM, THEN, UM, UH, WE BELIEVE THAT WE CAN PROCEED FORWARD. 
          UH, WE HAVE CONSULTED WITH LAW DEPARTMENT IN THIS REGARD AND WE'RE COMFORTABLE WITH MAINTAINING THE RECOMMENDATION AS IS, UH, BUT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE AUTHORIZATION IS LIMITED TO A SHORTER PERIOD OF TIME WHERE WE'RE, UH, WE'RE AGREEABLE TO DO. 
          UH, OKAY. 
          I THINK THE, I THINK THE CHANGE IS PROPOSED BY COUNCIL MEMBER TOVO DOES THAT FROM TWO TO ONE YEAR AND IT SAYS, GET THE, THIS PARTICULAR WORK DONE IN FOUR MONTHS, OBVIOUSLY IF YOU CAN'T MEET THAT AND IF YOU CAN'T DO THAT, THEN YOU NEED TO COME BACK TO US, BUT THAT WOULD BE THE AUTHORITY THAT THIS WOULD BE GIVING YOU. 
          AND YOU'RE COMFORTABLE WITH THAT. 
          YES, SIR. 
          OKAY. 
          DOES ANYBODY ELSE ON STAFF WARREN TO, UH, TO COMMENT OR WEIGH IN? WE DO HAVE EDD STAFF, UH, AND I DON'T KNOW 
          [01:15:01]
SOME THEY'LL BE HELPER AD OR DIRECTOR. 
          CHRISTINA YOU'LL WANT TO SPEAK, BUT OTHERWISE WE CAN PROCEED STILL NOVIA HALT REP, DEPUTY DIRECTOR. 
          WE ARE IN SUPPORT OF MR. SCARBOROUGH'S RECOMMENDATION. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU GUYS ARE ON POINT THIS THANK YOU. 
          I JUST WANTED TO, UM, EXTEND MY GRATITUDE TO COUNCIL PORTOBELLO FOR BRINGING FORWARD THIS AMENDMENT. 
          I FULLY SUPPORT THIS DIRECTION AND, AND WANT TO JUST EMPHASIZE HOW IMPORTANT IT IS FOR US TO HAVE THIS, UM, WAYFINDING SIGNAGE UP FOR THE MEXICAN AMERICAN CULTURAL CENTER AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. 
          UM, CERTAINLY IN FOUR MONTHS WOULD BE INCREDIBLE AND IT WOULD GO A LONG WAY WITH OUR COMMUNITY. 
          AND OF COURSE, IF WE CAN GET IT EVEN SOONER THAN THAT, THAT WOULD BE EVEN MORE AMAZING. 
          UH, BUT JUST WANTED TO EXPRESS, UM, SHARE THE SENTIMENT THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT, UH, YOU KNOW, THIS VERY BASIC SIGNAGE HAS BEEN REQUESTED AND ADVOCATED FOR BY OUR COMMUNITY FOR, FOR A GOOD TIME NOW. 
          AND SO, UM, SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING THIS THROUGH GREAT, IT'S BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION. 
          LET'S TAKE A VOTE THOSE IN FAVOR, PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND.

          I JUST WANTED TO TAKE A VERY BRIEF MOMENT OF, UH, POINT OF PRIVILEGE TO CONGRATULATE DISTRICT TWO'S DIRECTOR OF POLICY CHRISTIAN VITTA AND WISH HIM THE BEST AND HIS NEXT ENDEAVOR. 
          UM, HE IS A BRILLIANT, HARDWORKING INDIVIDUAL, AND I'M HONORED TO HAVE WORKED WITH HIM IN SERVING THE PEOPLE OF DISTRICT TWO. 
          HE CAME TO OUR OFFICE SHORTLY AFTER GRADUATING LAW SCHOOL, AND I LEARNED THAT HE WAS TAKING THE BAR DURING THE WINTER STORM. 
          UM, AND YOU KNOW, OR WHO'S PREPARING TO TAKE THE BAR DURING THE WINTER STORM AND HAD TO WORK THROUGH POWER OUTAGES. 
          AND THEN, UM, IT WAS KIND OF FUNNY BECAUSE THE DAY HE FOUND OUT THAT HE PASSED THE BAR, WE WERE ACTUALLY AT A MASS VACCINE DISTRIBUTION AT CODA, WHICH IS THE PERFECT EXAMPLE OF, UH, CHRISTIANS DEDICATION TO OUR COMMUNITY. 
          UM, AND JUST LIKE THE, THE VERY FUN MOMENTS WE WERE ABLE TO SHARE WITH HIM EVEN IN HIS SHORT TIME HERE. 
          UM, AND SO HE, UM, HAS BEEN SCOOPED UP TO CONTINUE THE GOOD FIGHT IN, IN FIGHTING THE GERRYMANDERING THAT WE'RE SEEING HAPPENING JUST UP THE STREET.

          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU, CHRISTIAN. 
          THANK YOU FOR SERVICE COLLEAGUES. 
          UH, WE'LL BE IN RECESS HAS TO COME BACK HERE AT NOON. 
          THOSE TWO SPEAKERS SEE YOU, THEN COUNCIL MEETING HERE ON OCTOBER 14TH, 2021. 
          STRUGGLE FOR I, AND WE'RE GOING 
          [Citizen Communications: General]
TO HAVE PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS, UH, AND WE HAVE, UH, TWO SPEAKERS TO SPEAK WITH US. 
          UH, PAUL ROBBINS IS UP FIRST MORE. 
          PAUL, CAN YOU HANG ON ONE SECOND? I DON'T THINK WE 
          [01:20:01]
HAVE THE MICROPHONE WORKING. 
          TRY AGAIN. 
          TEST. 
          GOOD AFTERNOON. 
          COUNCIL. 
          I'VE BEEN AN ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVIST AND CONSUMER ADVOCATE SINCE 1977. 
          I WAS IN THE OLD CITY HALL ON THIS BLOCK OF LAND IN 1987, WHEN ADVOCATES DECRIED SOUTHERN UNION GAS, THE FORMER OWNER OF TEXAS GAS SERVICE FOR GREENWASHING. 
          WE ACCUSED THE COMPANY OF MISUSING MONEY EARMARKED FOR ENERGY CONSERVATION AS MARKETING MONEY. 
          THE CITY COUNCIL OF THAT DAY SIDED WITH US AND CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. 
          I AM ASKING YOU TO DO IT AGAIN. 
          TEXAS GAS SERVICE IS GREENWASHING ABOUT $1.9 MILLION, ABOUT $8 PER RESIDENTIAL GAS CUSTOMER ON SO-CALLED ENERGY CONSERVATION PROGRAMS THAT SAVE LITTLE OR NO ENERGY. 
          THIS IS A LOT OF MONEY THAT CAN EITHER BE SAVED FOR RATE PAYERS OR USE TO PAY FOR VALUABLE SERVICES, SUCH AS CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE TO THE POOR AND RENEWABLE ENERGY RESEARCH. 
          LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT I MEAN. 
          UM, WELL THIS, OKAY. 
          THIS IS A MOISTURE SENSOR FOR A GAS CLOTHES DRYER. 
          IT WILL SAVE RATE PAYERS ABOUT $1 31 CENTS A YEAR. 
          TEXAS GAS SERVICE WILL GIVE YOU A REBATE REBATE OF AS MUCH AS $325 TO BUY A CLOTHES DRYER. 
          WITH THIS DEVICE. 
          THE PAYBACK IS 214, 9 YEARS FOR A DRYER THAT USUALLY LASTS 13 YEARS. 
          A SIMILAR CASE CAN BE MADE FOR WASTES OF REBATE MONEY FOR TANKLESS WATER HEATERS AND CENTRAL FURNACES. 
          THE COUNCIL'S PAST POSTURE ON THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN TO RELY ON CITY STAFF TO MAKE THE ISSUE GO AWAY, BUT THE STAFF MAKES IT GO AWAY BY ALLOWING THE GAS COMPANY TO CONTINUE GREENWASHING. 
          I DO NOT KNOW WHY THE CITY MANAGEMENT CONTINUES TO GO SOFT ON THE GAS COMPANY, BUT THEY DO. 
          AND BECAUSE OF IT, THEY ARE ASKING YOU TO CONTINUE THIS WASTE OF ALMOST $2 MILLION A YEAR. 
          COUNCIL LET'S DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT. 
          LET'S TAKE THE MONEY MEANT FOR GREENWASHED MARKETING AND IMPLEMENT A PLAN TO HELP THE POOR ON THEIR BILL. 
          LET'S TAKE THE MONEY MEANT FOR THINGS LIKE DRYERS WITH A 249 YEAR PAYBACK AND FUND RE RESEARCH ON RENEWABLE ENERGY. 
          LET'S TAKE THE WASTED MONEY AND GIVE SOME OF IT BACK TO THE RATE PAYERS WHO ARE ALREADY REELING FROM UTILITY. 
          BILL INCREASES. 
          ALL THIS CAN BE DONE BY RECLAIMING THESE WASTED FUNDS. 
          THIS ISSUE WILL COME UP BEFORE YOU NOVEMBER 18TH, AND I URGE YOU TO TAKE A NEW DIRECTION. 
          GOOD EVENING. 
          THANK YOU. 
          IS KRISTIN AND THE AIR AMY. 
          SORRY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UH, HELLO COUNCIL. 
          MY NAME IS KRISTIN HANEY AND I'M THE CHAIR OF THE EAST CESAR CHAVEZ NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN CONTACT TEAM. 
          I'M HERE TO HIGHLIGHT THE SALTY O T O D REGULATING PLAN AS AN EXCELLENT TOOL FOR INCENTIVIZING AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND TO ASK CITY COUNCIL TO PUT A PAUSE ON ZONING AND PLAN AMENDMENT CASES IN THE SALTY O T O D. 
          WHILE WE WORK TOGETHER TO REVISE THE PLAN IN FAVOR OF OUR COMPREHENSIVE SOLUTION THAT MEETS THE CURRENT NEEDS OF THE CITY. 
          THERE ARE FOUR ITEMS THAT WE WANT TO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION. 
          ONE FEE IN LIEU, THE DENSITY BONUS SECTION SAYS THAT IN ORDER FOR A PROPERTY OWNER TO PAY A FEE IN LIEU OF MEETING AFFORDABLE AFFORDABILITY REQUIREMENTS, THEY MUST DEMONSTRATE A COMPELLING REASON TO NOT PROVIDE HOUSING ONSITE IS BECAUSE WE'RE BUILDING AN OFFICE REALLY A COMPELLING REASON. 
          DISTRICT THREE IS CURRENTLY 3000 UNITS SHORT OF ITS GOAL TO BUILD OR PRESERVE OVER 6,000 AFFORDABLE UNITS. 
          BY 2027, WE NEED TO BE PRODUCING 500 AFFORDABLE UNITS PER YEAR. 
          THAT'S A COMPELLING REASON TO THE SUPER DENSITY BONUS IS A HUGE OPPORTUNITY FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND IT'S BEING COMPLETELY OVERLOOKED. 
          SUPER DENSITY IS THE BONUS THAT ADDRESSES PROJECTS THAT WANT TO BUILD UP TO 85 FEET TALL. 
          IT 
          [01:25:01]
REQUIRES A NOTABLY HIGHER LEVEL OF AFFORDABILITY, AND IT OFFERS NO FEE IN LIEU OPTION. 
          WE LOSE CRITICAL AFFORDABLE HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES. 
          WHEN WE OVERLOOK THIS TOOL FOR ACHIEVING ADDITIONAL HEIGHT IN THE TOD THREE CONTRACT ZONING, RECENT ZONING CASES HAVE PUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD IN THE POSITION OF NEGOTIATING WITH LANDOWNERS TO PROVIDE SOME OTHER CONSIDERATION IN EXCHANGE FOR THE ZONING. 
          WE'RE NOT QUALIFIED TO FACILITATE THESE NEGOTIATIONS, NOR SHOULD WE BE PARTICIPATING IN ANY WAY THAT DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY SUPPORTS ANY ZONING THAT COULD BE CONSIDERED CONTRACT ZONING. 
          ZONING IS THE LEGISLATIVE FUNCTION OF MUNICIPALITIES, AND WE NEED YOUR HELP AND FORTH. 
          WE'RE CONCERNED THAT THESE REQUESTS COULD BE CONSIDERED SPOT ZONING AS DEFINED BY THE TEXAS SUPREME COURT AND THE CITY OF PHARR VERSUS TIPPETT REQUEST THAT SINGLE OUT A SMALL TRACT OF LAND FOR REZONING, WHICH SERVES NO SUBSTANTIAL PUBLIC PURPOSE SHOULD BE DENIED. 
          WE THINK AGREE THAT THE ZONING PLAN SHOULD NOT BE ALTERED FOR THE SPECIAL BENEFIT OF THE LANDOWNER. 
          IN CONCLUSION, WE'RE ASKING CITY COUNCIL TO PUT A PAUSE ON ZONING AND PLAN AMENDMENT CASES IN THIS LTO D WHILE WE WORK TOGETHER TO REVISE THE REGULATING PLAN IN FAVOR OF A COMPREHENSIVE SOLUTION THAT MEETS THE CURRENT NEEDS OF OUR CITY. 
          THIS LTO TOD REGULATING PLAN IS A RELIABLE TOOL FOR BUILDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING. 
          LET'S MAKE IT BETTER TOGETHER. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ANYONE ELSE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK TO US IN, UH, PUBLIC, UH, COMMUNICATIONS WITH THAT THEN COLLEAGUES. 
          IT IS 1212. 
          WE'RE GOING TO STAND IN RECESS UNTIL TWO O'CLOCK. 
          AT WHICH TIME WE WILL, UH, CALL ZONING AND LISTEN TO THE SPEAKERS THAT HAVE SIGNED UP. 
          SEE YOU, THEN TODAY'S STILL OCTOBER 14TH, 2021. 
          IT IS 2 0 8. 
          THIS IS THE CONTINUATION OF THE AUSTIN CITY COUNCIL MEETING. 
          WE HAVE A QUORUM PRESENT. 
          I HAVE THEIR MAYOR PRO TEM ON THE SCREEN, A ONLY COUNCIL MEMBER WE'RE MISSING. 
          NOPE. 
          WE HAVE EVERYBODY A FULL COMPLIMENT HERE, UH, WITH US THIS AFTERNOON. 
          [Zoning Consent Agenda]
WE HAVE, WE HAVE TONS OF SPEAKERS THAT HAVE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK. 
          UH, AT THE THREE MINUTES EACH WE'LL BE HERE SEVERAL HOURS LISTENING TO SPEAKERS, BUT I'M NOT SURE THAT ALL THE SPEAKERS WHO SIGNED UP PERHAPS A LONG TIME AGO WILL STILL WANT TO SPEAK IF THEIR CASES ARE RESOLVED OR IF THEY'VE BEEN POSTPONED. 
          SO IF JERRY IS HERE, IS JERRY HERE. 
          OKAY. 
          AND THEN, UH, JULIA WOULD BE GREAT, WHOEVER IT IS, THAT'S DOING IT. 
          WHAT I, WHAT I THINK WE'RE GONNA START WITH JULIA. 
          I THINK WHAT WE'RE GOING TO START WITH IS BEFORE WE CALL THE CONSENT AGENDA, CAN YOU GIVE US A FEEL FOR EVERYTHING THAT'S NOT POSTPONED OR AGREED VEST, AS YOU CAN TELL  OKAY. 
          HI THERE. 
          MAYOR. 
          MAYOR PRO TEM COUNCIL. 
          I AM JOY HARDEN. 
          I, I KNOW YOU WANT TO HEAR FROM THE SPEAKERS FIRST, BUT I CAN TELL YOU WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE DISCUSSION ITEMS WILL BE ITEM 70, 71, 73, 81 AND 85, 70 ITEMS, 70 ITEMS, 71 73, 81 AND 80, 70, 71 73, 81 AND 85. 
          OKAY, MAYOR. 
          UH, SO WHAT DO YOU ANTICIPATE HAPPENING ON, ON NUMBER 61? I CAN'T HEAR YOU SAY THAT ONE MORE TIME. 
          WHAT DO YOU ANTICIPATE HAPPENING ON NUMBER 61? UM, 61, UM, CONSENT. 
          OKAY. 
          CAUSE THERE'S AN AGREEMENT NOW ON THAT ONE SEEMS TO BE, WHAT ABOUT COUNCIL MEMBER KELLY? UM, BUT CONSENT GUYS ARE, IT LOOKS LIKE THAT'LL BE ON CONSENT. 
          WHAT ARE YOU ANTICIPATING ON 66? UM, THERE WAS AN AGREEMENT, UM, BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE APPLICANT. 
          SO I'LL READ AND CONDITIONS AND THAT WOULD BE OFFERED FOR CONSENT APPROVAL ON FIRST. 
          SO 66 LOOKS LIKE IT WILL ALSO GO ON CONSENT. 
          I'M SAYING THAT I'LL JUST BE A SPEAKERS SIGNED UP AND THEY MAY NOT WANT TO SPEAK FOR, WAIT TO SPEAK. 
          IF THEY KNOW IT'S GOING TO 
          [01:30:01]
GO ON CONSENT AND THEY'VE SIGNED UP IN FAVOR OF IT BEFORE. 
          SO I'M JUST TRYING TO GIVE PEOPLE KIND OF A, KIND OF A HEADS UP ON THAT. 
          UM, 58, 59 60. 
          THOSE ALL LOOK LIKE THEY'RE GOING TO BE ON CONSENT. 
          YES. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          AND 80, 84, 80 CONSENT, 84, UM, CONSENT FIRST, BUT I BELIEVE COUNCIL MEMBER KITCHEN WILL HAVE SOME COMMENTS FOR NUMBER 81. 
          OKAY. 
          SOUNDS GOOD. 
          UH, BEFORE WE CALL A SPEAKER'S, UH, COUNSELOR HALTER, UM, I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY IF ANOTHER COUNCIL MEMBER HAD PULLED 85 BECAUSE I HAVE NOT. 
          UM, I HAVE 85 AS DISCUSSION. 
          SO YOU'RE SAYING IT'S PULLED NO, NO, I JUST, I JUST IT'S IN MY DISTRICT AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHY IT WASN'T ON CONSENT. 
          UM, I GUESS WE'LL GET TO IT WHEN WE GET, OKAY. 
          WE'RE NOT GOING TO GET TO IT. 
          AND WE DON'T KNOW. 
          IT'S KIND OF LIKE BEST GUESSES. 
          WE'VE HAD A COUPLE OF PEOPLE. 
          THAT'S FINE. 
          I JUST, I WAS JUST CURIOUS IF SOMEBODY HAD, HAD PULLED IT THAT I WASN'T AWARE OF SO THAT YOU NEEDED TO SAY SOMETHING NOW I KNOW BEST AS I CAN TELL AT THIS POINT, NO ONE HAS PULLED ANY OF THESE ITEMS FORMERLY PULLED ANY OF THESE ITEMS. WE DO HAVE A SPEAKER THAT SIGNED UP TO SPEAK AGAINST, UH, ON 85. 
          JUST ONE. 
          YES, COUNCILMEMBER KITCHEN. 
          MY EXPECTATION IS, UM, AND I'LL HAVE TO LOOK AT COUNCIL MEMBER POINTERS, CAUSE I THINK THIS IS HER EXPECTATION THAT 73, UM, I'LL WANT TO MAKE SOME STATEMENTS, BUT IT PROBABLY WILL END UP STAYING ON CONSENT. 
          YES. 
          SHE'S NODDING HER HEAD RATHER THAN DISCUSSION. 
          UH, THE SAME WITH 70 THERE'S SOME POINTS I NEED TO MAKE AROUND 70, BUT IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO, IF I CAN MAKE THOSE WITHOUT PULLING IT OFF CONSENT, I WILL DO THAT. 
          I WILL DO THAT. 
          AND THAT SOUNDS GOOD. 
          AND WHEN I SAID THERE'S ONLY ONE PERSON SIGNED UP, YOU KNOW, AND OR AGAINST IT, I'M TALKING ABOUT THE PEOPLE IN PERSON. 
          I KNOW THAT I'M JUST GIVING YOU THE SAME FOR THE RECORD. 
          I CAN'T SPEAK TO THE PEOPLE THAT ARE SIGNED UP ON THE PHONE. 
          I JUST DON'T KNOW. 
          YES. 
          I WANT THIS. 
          THANK YOU MAYOR. 
          I DON'T KNOW, UH, IF YOU'VE ALREADY DECIDED, UM, BUT AS FAR AS CONSIDERATION FOR HOW MANY MINUTES THE SPEAKERS WILL BE GIVEN, I DO WANT TO MAKE A REQUEST THAT FOR SPEAKERS ON, UH, ZONING ITEMS WITH THE VALID PETITION, THAT THEY BE GIVEN THE FULL THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK AND PROVIDE THEIR COMMENTARY. 
          WHAT WE SAID YESTERDAY WAS BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY CASES UP BECAUSE OF THE SCHEDULING ISSUE. 
          AND USUALLY WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF SPEAKERS THAT, UH, I HAD RECOMMENDED TO THE CLERK THAT WE JUST GIVE EVERYONE THREE MINUTES TODAY. 
          UH, JUST CAUSE I DIDN'T WANT PEOPLE TO BE PENALIZED FOR THE FACT THAT THERE WERE MORE SPEAKERS TODAY THAN NORMAL, JUST BECAUSE OF WHAT, WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE SCHEDULING. 
          SO TO YOUR POINT, I AGREE WITH YOU. 
          UH, AND WE'LL GO AHEAD AND GIVE EVERYBODY THREE MINUTES. 
          BUT AS A SPEAKER, AS I RECOGNIZE YOU OR THE CLERK RECOGNIZE YOU, PLEASE DON'T FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE FULL THREE MINUTES. 
          IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO DO. 
          AND IF YOU'RE SPEAKING IN FAVOR OF SOMETHING THAT LOOKS LIKE IT'S ALREADY GOING TO BE ON CONSENT, DON'T FEEL LIKE YOU NEED TO SPEAK, BUT CERTAINLY YOU HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT. 
          SO DRY, I'M GONNA GO AHEAD AND JUST CALL THE SPEAKERS AND THEN WE'LL BRING YOU BACK UP THE CONSENT AGENDA. 
          THANK YOU, JOY. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          I'M ON A CALL. 
          THE PERSON, PEOPLE THAT ARE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK IN PERSON FIRST SO THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO SIT IN, UH, IN THE ROOM IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO DO THAT. 
          UM, WE HAVE, UH, SOME PEOPLE THAT HAVE ASKED TO BE CALLED IN ORDER, UM, FOUR PEOPLE AGAINST THREE PEOPLE FOR ON ITEM 71, AND I'M GOING TO CALL THOSE PEOPLE IN THE ORDER REQUESTED, BUT LET'S BEGIN FIRST WITH JANET BROOKS IS JANET BROOKS HERE. 
          OKAY. 
          HANG ON A SECOND. 
          LET'S GET THIS MICROPHONE. 
          UM, OH, SORRY. 
          THAT'S OKAY. 
          YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, UH, SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF MILLWOOD, SECTION 12 NEIGHBORHOOD, UH, THAT, UH, WE ARE AGAINST, UH, THE ORDINANCE AS IT READS RIGHT NOW. 
          UM, IT HAS ZERO SETBACKS IN IT FOR THE WHOLE ENTIRE PDA MAYOR. 
          COULD I JUST REALLY, REALLY QUICK ASK THE SPEAKER TO TELL US WHICH ITEM SHE'S SPEAKING ON? ITEM 61 IN DISTRICT SIX. 
          GO AHEAD. 
          OKAY. 
          AND THE, UM, WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET SETBACKS IN THE FORM OF A 
          [01:35:01]
CONTINUOUS MAINTAINED, DENSE, MATURE TREE BUFFERS ALONG THE EASTERN BOUNDARY OF RESEARCH PART WITH ADJACENT FAMILY HOMES ON JENNINGS DEAD END AND AVERY ISLAND AVENUE. 
          SO WE REQUESTING THAT SOME KIND OF CONDITIONAL OVERLAY OR RESTRICTED COVENANT, WHATEVER WORKS THERE, BE APPLIED TO THE ENTIRE PDA, UH, SO THAT OUR NEIGHBORHOODS HAVE SOME KIND OF PROTECTION FROM THE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL DESIGNATION OF THESE PROPERTIES. 
          IN ADDITION, WE WOULD LIKE THE COUNCIL TO CONSIDER SOME KIND OF OVERLAY OR RESTRICTIVE COVENANT THAT WOULD ALSO APPLY TO THE ENTIRE PDA TO PROVIDE US WITH A REDUCED LIGHTING IN THE FORM OF SOME SPECIAL KIND OF LIGHTING OR WHATEVER IS APPROPRIATE AND ALSO REDUCED NOISE LEVELS THAT ARE MORE, UH, IN TUNE WITH OUR NEIGHBORHOOD ONES, UH, THAT ARE PART OF THIS CITY'S NOISE ORDINANCE THAT THEY BE APPLIED THERE BECAUSE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A BIG PROJECT THAT MAY HAVE TWO TO 10, WHO KNOWS HOW MANY YEARS AS IT'S DEVELOPED. 
          UH, WE'RE ALSO CONCERNED THAT IT'S BEING ALLOWED TO JUST BE LIKE ONE BIG EMPTY THING APPROVED. 
          UH, WHEN WE COMPARED IT WITH THE 10, UH, 2020 APPROVED SIMILAR PROPERTIES AND PROJECTS, UM, THEY CAME IN, UH, IN THE APPLICATION STAGE FOR ZONING, WITH THEIR DESIGN ALREADY IN PLACE AND, UH, DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS OF WHAT IT IS THEY'RE GOING TO PUT THERE. 
          AND WE'VE LOOKED AT CARLIN'S, UM, WEBSITE AND THEY DO HAVE A RESEARCH PARK, UM, PROPERTY LISTED IN THEIR PORTFOLIO AND THEY HAVE PICTURES. 
          THEY HAVE A MAP OF WHAT THEY ACTUALLY PUT TO PLAY ON TO PUT THERE. 
          AND IT LOOKS VERY MUCH LIKE A DOMAIN LIKE PROJECT AND THAT THEY KIND OF DO KNOW WHAT THEY WANT TO PUT WHERE, UH, BUT THEY'RE KIND OF SUBMITTING AT ONE, ONE STEP AT A TIME. 
          SO WE'RE APPEALING TO YOU FOR SOME KIND OF HELP TO AT LEAST GIVE US SOME KIND OF PROTECTION AS THINGS ARE BEING DEVELOPED BACK THERE, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE. 
          THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. 
          IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, FEEL FREE TO ASK ME, UH, IS JANET BROOKS HERE? I'M TIANA BROOKS. 
          OH, I'M SORRY. 
          IS UM, THANK YOU. 
          I'M SORRY, IS ABRAHAM ABERGAVENNY HERE? WHY DON'T YOU COME ON DOWN EL HAM? UM, I WANNA TALK TO OUR CASH FED IS ON DECK, SO YOU'LL BE UP NEXT. 
          WHERE'S THE BATHROOM PLEASE. 
          GOOD AFTERNOON. 
          HONORABLE MAYOR AND DISTINGUISHED COUNCIL MEMBERS. 
          IT'S A PLEASURE TO SEE YOU IN PERSON. 
          MY NAME IS L HAN TACOS. 
          I'M THE OWNER OF PROPERTY, 12 603 BLACKFOOT TRAIL, LOT FOUR AND FIVE OF INDIAN OAKS LOCATED AT THE CORNER OF MCNEIL AND, UM, BLACKFOOT CROSS THE STREET OF RESEARCH PARK, THE THIS RESEARCH PART REZONING CASE NUMBER C 14 20 21 0 1 2. 
          AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE MAP, THERE IS AN EXISTING SINK HOLE ON LOT FIVE ON MY PROPERTY AT THAT CORNER, WHICH IS THE LOWEST POINT OF OVER 150 ACRES OF LAND FROM THE RESEARCH FORK AND INDIAN OAKS NEIGHBORHOOD AND ALL OF THE RUNOFF WATER DRAINS IN TO MY PROPERTY TOWARD THE SINKHOLE. 
          HISTORICALLY, WE ALWAYS HAD FLOODING AT THIS CORNER MANY TIMES, MANY TIMES, FORTUNATELY, DURING EARLY 2000 CITY OF AUSTIN, I AGREE TO INSTALL AN 18 INCH RCP DRAIN PIPE, WHICH REMOVED THE EXISTING WATER FROM THIS CORNER AND HELP SOME WITH LESS FLOODING OF OUR PROPERTIES. 
          PLEASE MAKE A NOTE THAT THIS EXISTING 
          [01:40:01]
RCP PIE IS NOT BARELY ENOUGH TO HANDLE THE BORDER. 
          THE RENAULT BOTHER FROM INDIAN OAKS AND ALL THE PROPERTIES AROUND, UM, OUR SIDE OF MCNEIL DRIVE. 
          SO PLEASE MAKE A NOTE THAT, UM, THIS IS VERY CONCERNING FOR THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD, AND I'M GLAD THAT YOU ARE HERE TODAY. 
          PLEASE JUST CONSIDER WHAT WOULD HAPPEN WHEN RESEARCH PART FULLY DEVELOPS FOR, UH, FOR SURE IT WILL CREATE MAJOR FLOODING OF WATER FROM HUNDRED, 250 ACRES AROUND OUR PROPERTIES. 
          SINCE WE HAVEN'T SEEN THE APPLICANTS PLAN FOR DRAINAGE SYSTEM, WE ARE ASKING CITY STAFF AND CITY COUNCIL TO MAKE SURE AND TAKE THIS ISSUE VERY SERIOUSLY BECAUSE WE ARE IN DANGER OF THIS DEVELOPMENT. 
          WE ARE ASKING EITHER THE APPLICANT OR CITY OF AUSTIN TO INSTALL A PROPER DRAINAGE SYSTEM ALONG THE MCNEIL DRIVE UNDER RESEARCH PARKS, SITES DEVELOPMENT, TO AT LEAST PREVENT THE WATER, RUN OFF TO OUR SITE AND CAUSE FLOODING OF OUR PROPERTIES. 
          THANK YOU FOR LISTENING. 
          IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE LET US KNOW, MAN. 
          YES. 
          SORRY. 
          I'M LIKE REALLY LOUD. 
          UM, IF YOU COULD, SORRY, IF YOU COULD TAKE MY CARD PLEASE. 
          UH, THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, YOU ARE IN MY DISTRICT AND I DRIVE THROUGH THAT AREA QUITE OFTEN. 
          I'M SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT THOSE DRAINAGE ISSUES. 
          MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THIS SITE DOES NOT CAUSE DRAINING THAT DIRECTION, BUT WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO IS FOLLOW UP WITH YOU SO THAT WE CAN FIND OUT WHAT'S HAPPENING AND GET IT CORRECTED. 
          OKAY? OKAY. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR COMING TODAY. 
          PERHAPS WITH THE THREE, I JUST WANT TO MAKE ONE COMMENT. 
          UM, ABRAHAM , I'M ALSO THE NEIGHBOR AND HAVE THE SAME CONCERN. 
          THE PLACE IS CONCAVE FROM NORTH, SOUTH AND EAST. 
          THERE IS LANDLORD. 
          THERE IS NO WAY WATER GET OUT OF THERE UNLESS WE HAVE A PROPER SYSTEM IN PLACE. 
          AND THIS ARE OUR SIDE, WHICH IS MCNEIL SAT ON THE TRUCK. 
          YOU KNOW, MCNEIL SAT ON OUR SIDE. 
          THERE IS A NOTE ROOM TO PUT ANY SYSTEM IN THERE, BUT ON A PARKSIDE PART OF RESEARCH, OUR SIDE THERE'S A PLANET CAN LAND RIGHT NOW AND THEY COULD PUT A PROPER EITHER DRAIN SYSTEM OR A RETAINING SYSTEM. 
          THANK YOU, SIR. 
          THANK YOU.

          I'M LORRAINE ATHERTON WITH THE ZILKER NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION. 
          I'M SPEAKING ON ITEM 70 A, IS THERE SOMEWHERE YOU COULD PUT UP THE MAP ON PAGE 27 OF THE STAFF REPORT? UM, UH, MEANWHILE, UH, I'VE UH, BROUGHT WITH ME AND I'LL A COPY OF THE AUSTIN HOUSING BLUEPRINT ON PAGE 31 IS A, A PHOTOGRAPH, UH, LABELED SUCCESS STORY DENSITY BONUS PROGRAM. 
          THIS IS A V M U BUILDING A COUPLE OF BLOCKS AWAY FROM THIS SITE THAT'S BEING PROPOSED TO CHANGE FROM, FROM, UH, VMU TO, UH, MF SIX, UM, AND, UM, UH, UH, Z AND A HAS STUDIED THIS SITE, UH, UH, AND IT IS, UH, WE, WE STUDIED IT, UH, AND, UH, PROPOSED IT FOR THE VMU OVERLAY IN 2006. 
          AND WE FEEL THAT VMU IS THE PERFECT, PERFECT SOLUTION FOR, FOR REDEVELOPMENT ON, ON THIS SITE. 
          UH, AND IT WOULD BE A HO TERRIBLE MISTAKE TO, UH, UH, TO ADD THIS SORT OF DENSITY, UH, WITHOUT, UH, ON THIS SITE TO GIVE UP THE F THE FLEXIBILITY OF THE VMU, UH, OVERLAY WITHOUT GETTING, UH, 
          [01:45:01]
UH, A, WITHOUT HAVING IT INCLUDED IN THE DENSITY BONUS PROGRAM WITHOUT A REAL, UH, SMART HOUSING APPLICATION. 
          IN HAND, WE ARE FINDING THAT, THAT THERE ARE, UH, OTHER, UH, UH, WE'RE GETTING NEW NEW APPLICATIONS FOR AFFORDABILITY UNLOCKED AND OTHER DENSITY BONUS PROGRAMS. IT WOULD BE A MISTAKE TO GIVE THESE INCENTIVES AWAY WITHOUT GETTING REAL, UH, UM, UH, UH, UH, REAL, UH, AFFORDABILITY. 
          UH, THE OTHER OTHER PROBLEM ON THIS SITE IS THAT IT IS WITHIN, UH, THE BARTON SPRINGS ZONE AND SUBJECT TO SOS, AND, UH, IT'S, UH, SURROUNDED, IT'S ADJACENT TO AN AREA THAT'S BUILT OUT, UH, BUILT UP WITH, UH, UH, MORE THAN 300 VERY AFFORDABLE, UH, SMALL, UH, SMALL, UH, UH, UH, HOUSE SCALE MULTI-FAMILY UNITS.

          ALL OF DNA'S, UH, UH, VMU PROJECTS HAVE A 60. 
          OKAY. 
          I COULDN'T REMEMBER WHAT, WHAT ZILKER HAD OPTED IN IT. 
          GREAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          OKAY. 
          ROBIN NELSON AND THEN EMILY THOMPSON, BARBARA BORMAN, AND NAUREEN QUESENBERRY. 
          AND SHE'S GOING TO COME HOLD SOMETHING. 
          I'M SPEAKING TO ITEM NUMBER 71, GOOD AFTERNOON, HONORABLE CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS, CITY STAFFERS, BUSINESS OWNERS, AND FELLOW NEIGHBORS. 
          THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. 
          MY NAME IS ROBIN NELSON. 
          I AM A HOME OWNER AT 8 2 0 3 BEAVER BROOK LANE, WHERE I LIVE WITH MY LIFE PARTNER AND OUR FIVE-YEAR-OLD COLLECTIVELY. 
          WE'VE LIVED IN AUSTIN FOR 28 YEARS. 
          OUR SON WAS BORN HERE AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO RAISE HIM IN OUR SOUTH AUSTIN NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          I'M ADVOCATING ON BEHALF OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE I HAVE A SENSE OF CONNECTION AND PRIDE IN MY COMMUNITY. 
          I ALSO BELIEVE THAT IT IS IMPORTANT TO PARTICIPATE IN GOVERNMENT PROCESSES AND THAT CITIZENS CAN ENACT CHANGE. 
          FROM THE BEGINNING, WE HAVE ASKED THE APPLICANT LOTS OF QUESTIONS WHILE THEY SUPPLIED SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. 
          THE MAJORITY OF OUR REQUESTS WERE MAINLY MET WITH THE RESPONSES THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN UNTIL THIS I PLAN, OR WE CAN GET THAT INFORMATION TO YOU. 
          BEFORE THIRD READING AT CITY COUNCIL AT THE ZONING AND PLANNING COMMITTEE MEETING, WE REQUESTED AN ADDITIONAL TWO WEEK POSTPONEMENT AND ONLY ARRANGED FOR ONE NEIGHBOR TO SPEAK. 
          THE APPLICANT FORCED A VOTE, AND THE CASE WAS APPROVED BY A NARROW MARGIN IN RESPONSE. 
          OUR COMMUNITY HAS COME TOGETHER IN OPPOSITION TO THIS REZONING CASE. 
          WE HAVE FILED A VALID PETITION AT 38.75%, BUT THAT DOESN'T TELL THE WHOLE STORY. 
          THE SIGNATURES WE HAVE COLLECTED ACCOUNT FOR 60% OF THE LAND OWNERS ELIGIBLE TO SIGN THE PETITION AND OPPOSITION EXTENDS BEYOND THE LIMITS OF A VALID PETITION, 132 HOMES IN THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY OPPOSE THIS REZONING CASE WE HAVE MET WITH THE DEVELOPER NUMEROUS TIMES. 
          I'VE WORKED INCREDIBLY HARD TO MAKE THIS A COLLABORATIVE PROCESS. 
          I'M SAD TO REPORT THAT THE CONCLUSION OF OUR MOST RECENT MEETING ON NINE 19 DAVID HARTMAN SAID REASONABLE MINDS CAN DIFFER. 
          AND THE TIME COMES FOR CITY COUNCIL POLICY MAKERS TO DECIDE OUR COMMUNITY IS NOT OPPOSED TO DEVELOPMENT. 
          WE BELIEVE THE PLANNED RESPONSIBLE DEVELOPMENT OF THE LOTS ON SOUTH FIRST STREET IS VITAL TO CONNECTING OUR COMMUNITIES AND ENSURING THAT SOUTH AUSTIN IS A DESIRABLE PLACE TO LIVE. 
          THIS PROJECT DOES NOT FOLLOW SOME OF THE MOST BASIC IMAGINE AUSTIN PRINCIPLES, INCLUDING 
          [01:50:01]
NEW DEVELOPMENT SHOULD BE SENSITIVE TO THE PREDOMINANT CHARACTER OF THE COMMUNITIES AND CREATING HARMONIOUS TRANSITION ZONES BETWEEN ADJACENT NEIGHBORHOODS IS AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS. 
          MANY OF MY NEIGHBORS ARE HERE TO SPEAK TO THEIR OPPOSITION. 
          WE ARE REQUESTING A DEVELOPMENT THAT APPRECIATES OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          THAT'S AN IMPORTANT ASPECT OF THIS PROCESS. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU, EMILY THOMPSON, ROBERT BORMANS ON, I'M ALSO SPEAKING FROM ITEM 71, THE PROPERTY AT 8,400 VIVA BROOKLINE MAYOR ADLER, COUNCIL MEMBERS, CITY OFFICIALS, REZONING TEAM. 
          GOOD AFTERNOON. 
          MY NAME IS EMILY WASHINGTON THOMPSON. 
          I'VE LIVED AT 8,400 BEAVER BROOKLINE FOR 41 YEARS. 
          I LIVE DIRECTLY BEHIND THE SITE. 
          I'M ASKING THE CITY COUNCIL TO VOTE IN OPPOSITION TO THE M F FOR REZONING. 
          WE HAVE INFRASTRUCTURE PROBLEMS THAT SHOULD BE CORRECTED BEFORE OVER 200 UNIT APARTMENTS ARE BUILT, EXPANDING FOUR STORIES HIGH AND BRING IT IN OVER 300 VEHICLES. 
          MY CONCERNS, OUR TRAFFIC STREETS AND SAFETY BEFORE THE GROWTH OF SOUTH AUSTIN. 
          MY ROLE AND SOUTH FIRST STREET WAS THE MAIN OUTLET IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          AT THIS LOCATION. 
          THERE IS A PEDESTRIAN LIGHT. 
          NOW THAT ALLOWS PEDESTRIAN CROSSING AND CHILDREN GOING TO WILLIAMS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. 
          IT TAKES TRAFFIC LONGER TIMES THAN USUAL TO TURN RIGHT LEFT. 
          OUR GO ACROSS SOUTH FIRST STREET IS DEAD. 
          MER IS ANOTHER OUTLET WE USE THAT IS A VERY NARROW CURVY TWO LANE ROAD WITH THE CEMENT STRUCTURE WALL, THAT PROTECT VEHICLES FROM GOING INTO BOGGY CREEK. 
          THIS ROAD GOES TO THE TOP OF A HILL AT CONGRESS AVENUE, WHERE TRAFFIC IS BACKED UP, WAITING TO GET OUT WITHOUT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. 
          ANOTHER ROUTE WE USE IS RAF ABLO NATO AND CONGRESS. 
          WE HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT A TRAFFIC LIGHT WILL BE INSTALLED THERE OR STREET CANNOT BE CONSIDERED AS AN EXIT FOR CHILDREN TO WALK TO SCHOOL AT THIS TIME, OR STREET HAS A HUGE DRAINAGE OUTLET WITH A FIVE BY EIGHT SIZE STEEL RECTANGULAR SHAPE OPENINGS. 
          AS A COVER. 
          THERE IS ONE HOUSE ON THIS STREET AND CHILDREN IN NEED OF HELP MAY NOT BE NOTICED WITH PRECEDENT, CONSTRUCTION ON APARTMENTS AND HOMES ON COOPER LANE DID MAR AND SOUTH FIRST STREET, A TRAFFIC STUDY NEED TO BE DONE. 
          I OPPOSE THE MF FOR REZONING BECAUSE TOO MUCH TRAFFIC IS DEMANDED ON SMALL NARROW ROADS WITHOUT TRAFFIC LIGHTS. 
          WE ALSO WANT TO DO OUR BEST TO CALL ATTENTION TO SAFETY ISSUES FOR OUR CHILDREN. 
          PLEASE VOTE IN OPPOSITION TO  REZONING AND HELP US WELCOME PEOPLE TO A SAFE ENVIRONMENT. 
          THANK YOU, BARBARA BORMAN. 
          I'M ALSO SPEAKING TO ITEM 71, GOOD AFTERNOON, MAYOR ALDER, AND ALSO ALL OF THE CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS. 
          MY NAME IS BARBARA BORMAN. 
          MY HOME IS DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT SITE SOUTH FIRST STREET FROM BEN WHITE TO RALPHIE. 
          BENITO IS LINE WITH FAMILY NEIGHBORHOODS ZONED SF TWO TO SF SIX CHURCHES, SCHOOLS, AND LOCALLY OWNED BUSINESSES. 
          IT SERVICE THESE NEIGHBORHOODS. 
          OUR NEIGHBORHOOD HAS LOOKED FORWARD TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SITE. 
          WE BELIEVE THAT HOUSING AND FAMILY ORIENTED BUSINESSES WOULD BRIDGE THE TRANSITION WITH OUR COMMERCIAL NEIGHBORS TO THE SOUTH. 
          I WORKED WITH THE DEVELOPERS AND MY NEIGHBORS OVER THE PAST EIGHT MONTHS TO UNDERSTAND THE SCOPE OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT. 
          WE HAVE PROVIDED FEEDBACK FOR THE SITE THAT WOULD PROVIDE AN APPROPRIATE TRANSITION ZONE ADJACENT TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          WE'VE ASKED THE DEVELOPER TO FOCUS ON INCREASED BUILDING SETBACKS, REDUCE BUILDING HEIGHT AND DENSITY AND PROVIDING GREEN SPACES FOR AN APPROPRIATE TRANSITION. 
          I OPPOSE THE MF FOR REZONING FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS. 
          WHILE THE DEVELOPER HAS WORKED HARD TO PROVIDE INFORMATION 
          [01:55:01]
ON THE PROPOSED DRAINAGE SYSTEM TO REDUCE STORMWATER, WENT OFF INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          WATER WILL BE DIVERTED ONTO NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS AND INTO THE CITY STORM WATER DRAINAGE SYSTEM. 
          THAT IS UNDERSIZED. 
          THERE IS NO CITY PLAN TO IMPROVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE TO HANDLE THE STORMWATER. 
          AS CITY STAFFERS NOTED THE NEIGHBORHOOD LACKS, CONTIGUOUS SIDEWALKS, BIKE LANES TO SUPPORT WALKABILITY AND ACCESS TO SCHOOLS. 
          BUS STOPS AND LOCAL BUSINESSES DEVELOPMENT TENANTS WILL BE FORCED TO STEP OFF INTO BUSY SOUTH FIRST STREETS AND SEVERAL AREAS TO WALK TOWERING 50 AND 60 FOOT STRUCTURES ADJACENT TO SINGLE STORY HOMES, OBSTRUCT, COOLING, BREEZES AND SUNLIGHT. 
          THAT'S SO VITAL TO THE HEALTH AND WELFARE OF OUR COMMUNITY. 
          THIS DEVELOPMENT SITE SHOULD BE A TRANSITION, SO NOT AN ABRUPT CHANGE TO THE CHARACTER OF OUR COMMUNITY. 
          THE IMAGINE AUSTIN AND ZONING PRIORITIES FOR COMMUNITY FIRST DEVELOPMENT CALL FOR DEVELOPMENTS TO BE SENSITIVE TO THE CHARACTER OF ADJACENT COMMUNITIES AND PROVIDE APPROPRIATE TRANSITION ZONES. 
          THE PROPOSED EMMA FOR ZONING DOES NOT MEET THESE PRIORITIES. 
          WE ASK YOU MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS TO HONOR THESE WORDS AND HEAR OUR COMMUNITY VOICES AND DENY M F FOR REZONING. 
          THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION. 
          NAUREEN CHRISTENBERRY MY TURN. 
          GOOD AFTERNOON, MAYOR HONORABLE CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS, ZONING AND PLANNING COMMITTEE. 
          MY NAME IS NAUREEN CUISINE BARRY. 
          I'M A NEW HOME OWNER AT 8 2 0 5 BEAVER BROOK LANE, AND HAVE LIVED THERE FOR 40 YEARS. 
          I RESPECTFULLY ASK YOU TO OPPOSE THIS MF FOUR STONING REQUEST. 
          THE INFRASTRUCTURE IN OUR AREA IS OVER 45 YEARS OLD. 
          I HAVE SEEN THE WATER RISE IN A ROAD IN MY BACKYARD. 
          THE WATER RUN OFF FROM THE PROPOSED BUILDING SITE, FLOODS HOMES, BACKYARDS AND GARAGES ALONG BEAVER BROOK LANE, OR DRIVE ELKHORN CIRCLE AND SELF FIRST OR OVERFLOW STREETS AND COLLAPSE DRAINAGE DITCHES TO BOGGY CREEK. 
          THE FLOODING CREEK WATER IS ERODING AWAY. 
          THE BACKYARDS OF HOMES ON BLUE VALLEY FLOODING OCCURS BECAUSE EXISTING DURING THESE SYSTEMS CANNOT HANDLE THE FLOW. 
          THE PROPOSED DEPARTMENTS WILL ADD SIGNIFICANT IMPERVIOUS COVER DRAMATICALLY INCREASING FLOODING. 
          WHEN WE ASKED THE DEVELOPER WHO TO CALL, WHEN THE WATER BACKS UP, WE WERE TOLD WE'VE DONE OUR PART. 
          THE SYSTEM IS OLD. 
          CALL THE CITY. 
          IT'S THEIR PROBLEM. 
          HOMEOWNERS IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD, NOT LIVING IN A HIGH-RISK FLOOD PLAN, HAVE TO BUILD DEFENSIVE ANTI FLOOD MEASURES TO PROTECT THEIR HOMES FROM RUNOFF COMING FROM THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT SITE. 
          AND SOUTH FIRST, IF THIS DEVELOPMENT IS ALLOWED TO CONTINUE WITH THE SUBSTANDARD DRAINAGE SYSTEM, THEY WILL HAVE TO DRAMATICALLY INCREASE FLOOD PROTECTION AND MAYBE MORE HOMEOWNERS IN OUR COMMUNITY WILL HAVE TO ALSO BUILD PROTECTION. 
          WE CANNOT AFFORD TO LOSE THIS PERVIOUS GROUND COVER. 
          WE NEED A SAFE DRAINAGE SYSTEM CAPABLE OF CARRYING THE INCREASED RUNOFF FOR THE INFRASTRUCTURE, FOR ANY BUILDER WHO WANTS TO ADD ANY CONSTRUCTION COMPOUNDING. 
          THIS ISSUE IS THE LACK OF SIDEWALKS ON THE EAST SIDE OF SOUTH FIRST, THE DEVELOPER WILL BUILD ONE FOR HIS PROPERTY, BUT ONCE OFF OF HIS SITE, THE PEDESTRIAN, A CHILD ON THEIR WAY TO ELEMENTARY TO WILLIAMS ELEMENTARY OR BETTY CHECK  MA MIDDLE SCHOOL HAS TO NAVIGATE THE VERITABLE MINEFIELD OF TALL GRASS AND WEEDS, A DITCH, A DRAINAGE DITCH, WHERE IT IS MUCH EASIER TO WALK ON SOUTH FIRST ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD TO BYPASS THESE OBSTACLES, TO GET A SIDEWALK OR A BUS STOP. 
          THIS AREA IS NOT SET UP FOR MFR AND I OPPOSE THE CHANGE AND REQUEST THAT SONY REMAIN THE SAME. 
          THE CITY HAS ZONE OTHER APARTMENTS WHEN CONNECTED WITH HOMES IN OUR AREA. 
          IMAGINE AUSTIN IS A BUILDING ABOUT IS ABOUT BUILDING A BETTER, STRONGER COMMUNITY, NOT SACRIFICING EXISTING NEIGHBORHOODS FOR FOUR STORY, HIGH DENSITY APARTMENTS THAT ULTIMATELY HAVE NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES FOR THE ESTABLISHED NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UH, WHAT ABOUT, UH, ALISON WAS EMBA SANTIAGO. 
          UM, THERE WAS A POWERPOINT PRESENTATION SUBMITTED 71 
          [02:00:08]
ALLAH, MISS ALISON MOCZYGEMBA WITH KIMLEY-HORN CIVIL ENGINEER FOR THE APPLICANT. 
          ONE OF THE MAJOR CONSIDERATIONS WHEN STARTING DESIGN ON THIS PROPERTY, WHERE THE EXISTING DRAINAGE CONDITIONS, NEXT SLIDE TO PROVIDE A BRIEF HISTORY ON THE DEVELOPMENT IN THE AREA. 
          THE STORM SYSTEM, DON GRADIENT OF OUR PROPERTY WAS DESIGNED IN THE 1970S AS PART OF TWO PHASES OF A SINGLE FAMILY SUBDIVISION, BEACON RIDGE ONE AND BEACON RIDGE THREE IN THE ORIGINAL SUBDIVISION PLANS. 
          THERE WERE SWALES ALONG THE NORTHERN AND EASTERN PROPERTY LINES OF THE 84 0 1 SOUTH FIRST STREET PROJECT THAT DIRECTED THE STORMWATER RUNOFF FROM OUR SITE TO THOSE TWO AND THOSE UPSTREAM OF US TO AN INLET AT THE END OF OUR DRIVE. 
          NEXT SLIDE. 
          HERE'S OUR PROJECT LOCATED ON THOSE ORIGINAL SUBDIVISION PLANS. 
          OUTLINED IN RED, AS YOU CAN SEE, THE PROPOSED GRADING FOR THE SWALES ARE SHOWN ON THESE SHEETS IN THE LAST 50 YEARS, THESE SWALES HAVE ERODED OVER TIME RESULTING IN THE RUNOFF, GOING DIRECTLY INTO THE SINGLE FAMILY, LOTS THAT BORDER OUR PROPERTY. 
          NEXT SLIDE, KNOWING THERE WERE DRAINAGE CONCERNS IN THE AREA. 
          WE STARTED OUR DESIGN BY EVALUATING THE DOWNSTREAM CONDITIONS OF THE STORM SYSTEM, LOOKING FOR ANY POTENTIAL OFF-SITE AREAS THAT COULD BE IMPROVED. 
          HOWEVER, SINCE THE 1970S, THE ADJACENT FLOODPLAIN ELEVATION IN SOUTH BOGGY CREEK HAS RISEN BY NEARLY 10 FEET. 
          THIS CONDITION HAS RESULTED IN REGIONAL DRAINAGE ISSUES WITH THE DOWNSTREAM STORM SYSTEM BEING INUNDATED IN THE A HUNDRED YEAR STORM EVENT. 
          THIS REDUCES THE AVAILABLE VOLUME AND THEREFORE CAPACITY OF THE STORM SYSTEM. 
          THIS RISE IN FLOODPLAIN ELEVATION IS THE DRIVING FACTOR FOR THE CAPACITY CONSIDERATIONS IN THE EXISTING STORM. 
          NEXT SLIDE, GIVEN THIS, WE FOCUSED ON ON-SITE IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE COULD MAKE THESE INCLUDE REGRADING ALONG OUR NORTHERN PROPERTY LINE TO PREVENT THE SHEET FLOW OF WATER FROM OUR PROPERTY ONTO THE NEIGHBORING SINGLE FAMILY, LOTS PROVIDING A DRAINAGE EASEMENT ALONG OUR SOUTHERN AND EASTERN PROPERTY LINES TO CAPTURE A REROUTE. 
          THE UPSTREAM FLOWS THAT ARE CURRENTLY TRAVELING ON A BAITED ACROSS OUR PROPERTY, IMPROVING THE EXISTING INLET AT THE END OF OR DRIVE AND PROVIDING A LEVEL SPREADER THAT WILL SAFELY DISCHARGE THE STORMWATER INTO THE RIGHT OF WAY AND OVER DETAINING ON OUR PROPERTY BY CONSTRUCTING A SUBTERRANEAN DETENTION POND THAT IS SIZE TO CAPTURE ON-SITE FLOWS AND REDUCE THE EXISTING PEAK, LEAVING OUR PROPERTY BY 10%. 
          NEXT SLIDE HERE, YOU CAN VISUALLY SEE THE LOCATION OF EACH OF THESE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS, REGRADING THE EXISTING SITE ADJACENT TO THE SINGLE FAMILY, LOTS REROUTING THE UPSTREAM FLOWS THROUGH THE DRAINAGE EASEMENTS, IMPROVING THE EXISTING INLAND AT THE END OF OUR DRIVE AND OVER DETAINING IN THE ONSITE DETENTION POND. 
          NEXT SLIDE, AS A RESULT OF THESE ONSITE IMPROVEMENTS, REGRADING, REROUTING, IMPROVING AND OVER DETAINING THE PROPERTY IS ABLE TO ELIMINATE THE FLOODING CURRENTLY EXPERIENCED IN THE SINGLE FAMILY, LOTS ADJACENT TO OUR PROPERTY, REDUCE THE OVERALL VOLUME OF STORMWATER GOING INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND CONTAIN ALL FUTURE STORM EVENTS UP TO THE 100 YEAR WITHIN THE PUBLIC RIGHT AWAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU, SANTIAGO. 
          UH, MAC, UH, MAC RIGHT PULL. 
          IT IS ON DECK. 
          GOOD AFTERNOON, SANTIAGO DACA. 
          I'M WITH KIMBERLY HORN. 
          I'M THE TRAFFIC ENGINEER FOR THE APPLICANT. 
          NEXT SLIDE, AS ALISON STATED, THE PROPERTY IS AT 84 0 1 SOUTH FIRST STREET AT THE INTERSECTION OF GREAT BURN BOULEVARD. 
          AND SOUTH FIRST IT'S THREE VACANT PARCELS. 
          UM, THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE, UH, UH, SITE ARE A TRAFFIC SIGNAL AND NORTHBOUND AND SOUTHBOUND LEFT TURN LANES. 
          UM, THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL, IT'S AN IMPROVED STRAIGHT IMPACT FEE STUDY, UH, IT'S IMPROVEMENT AND I 36 OF THE DOCUMENT, AND IT ALSO EXCEEDS THE AMOUNT OF THE ESTIMATED STRAIGHT IMPACT FEE FOR THE PROPERTY. 
          WE ESTIMATE THE ESTIMATED COST OF $800,000 FOR ALL IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED. 
          IT WILL INCREASE SAFETY BY ALLOWING THROUGH VEHICLES TO AVOID LEFT TURNERS. 
          AS THE ROAD IS CURRENTLY GET TO LAND ON DIVIDED. 
          UM, IT'LL ALSO CREATE TRAFFIC SIGNAL GAPS FOR OTHER ADJACENT SIDE STREETS TO BE ABLE TO ENTER THE ROADWAY NETWORK AS IT'LL CONTAIN AND PLATOON VEHICLES AT THE INTERSECTION. 
          NEXT SLIDE, THIS, UH, FIGURE SHOWS THE PROPOSED GOING FROM A TWO LANE DIVIDED TO A SIGNALIZED INTERSECTION WITH LEFT LEFT TURN LANES NORTHBOUND AND SOUTHBOUND. 
          THE SITE IS ON THE EAST SIDE AND, UM, IT WILL ALSO HELP GREAT IN TRAFFIC EXIT INTO SOUTH FIRST. 
          NEXT SLIDE, THE PROPOSED SITE IS EXPECTED TO GENERATE ROUGHLY 1500 TRIPS IN THAT DAILY, UM, AROUND A HUNDRED TRIPS IN 
          [02:05:01]
THE PMP IN AMP AND 125 TRIPS IN THE PMP. 
          THIS IS ROUGHLY LESS THAN 10% OF THE EXISTING TRAFFIC FROM COUNTS IN 2018 TO DAILY COUNTS FROM TEXTILES, UH, IN A NEARBY COUNT. 
          AND IN 2019 PEAK HOUR COUNTS, UH, DONE BY, UH, CITY OF AUSTIN. 
          NEXT SLIDE. 
          THIS FIGURE SHOWS THE TURNING MOVEMENTS IN AND OUT OF THE SITE, AS IT CAN BE SEEN IN THE PEAK IN THE PMP COWER, THERE'S A ROW, AN ESTIMATED 38 VEHICLES TURNING INTO A SIDE, UM, FROM THE NORTH AND 38 VEHICLES TURNING FROM THE SIDE, TURNING FROM THE SOUTH IN THE PEAK HOUR IN THE MORNING, EXITING VEHICLES FROM THE MULTI-FAMILY APARTMENT WOULD BE 36 IN EACH DIRECTION. 
          UM, BASED ON THE LOCATION, IT WAS EXPECTED TO BE A 50, 50 SPLIT, AS YOU CAN GET TO WORK PLACES FROM THE SITE, BOTH NORTH AND SOUTH NEXT SLIDE. 
          IN ADDITION TO THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE PROPOSED BY THE APPLICANT, THE SITE IS ALSO ADJACENT TO, UH, TWO CORRIDORS THAT ARE IN THE PORTER PROGRAM, UH, INCLUDED, WHICH ARE WILLIAM CANNON, THE SLAUGHTER LANE. 
          THESE ARE PART OF THE 2016 BOND AND ARE BEING CURRENTLY UNDER DESIGNING CONSTRUCTION BY THE CITY OF AUSTIN. 
          NEXT SLIDE AND SUMMARY, THE, THE DEVELOPER IS ADDING A, UM, A SIGNALIZED INTERSECTION, UM, ALSO LEFT AND RIGHT LEFT TURN LANES AT THE INTERSECTION FOR NORTHBOUND AND SOUTHBOUND. 
          THIS WILL INCREASE SAFETY. 
          THESE ARE IMPROVEMENTS IDENTIFIED BY THE CITY OF AUSTIN STREET IMPACT FEE STUDY. 
          UH, LIKE I SAID, IMPROVEMENT AND I 36. 
          UM, IN ADDITION THERE INCLUDE, THEY'RE ADDING SIDEWALK ALONG THE PROPERTY, UM, ON THE EAST SIDE. 
          SO THESE ARE ALL REASONS TO SUPPORT THE PROJECT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UH, COUNCIL MEMBERS. 
          THIS IS MAC MAC WRATH. 
          UH, UM, THE DEVELOPER AND APPLICANT IS WAYFINDER REAL ESTATE. 
          UM, THIS REZONE HAS BEEN ANYTHING BUT RUSHED. 
          WE'VE BEEN, UM, AT THIS FOR THE LAST 11 MONTHS. 
          UM, THERE'S GOOD REASON FOR THAT. 
          THIS IS A VERY COMPLEX SITUATION IN THE SENSE THAT THERE YOU'VE, YOU'VE HEARD, RIGHT. 
          THERE ARE A LOT OF CONCERNS WITH SOME OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE AT PRESENT IN THE AREA. 
          IT IS THAT INFRASTRUCTURE THAT EARLY ON, WE STARTED TO FOCUS ON, WHICH IS THE REASON WHY WE BROUGHT A CIVIL ENGINEER, BOTH ON THE TRAFFIC AND DRAINAGE SIDE TO DO A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF STUDIES TO SEE HOW WE COULD ADDRESS THE NEEDS AND CONCERNS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THE DEVELOPER AND OWNER OF THE PROPERTY BEFORE THAT OWN THE PROPERTY. 
          UH, LEADING UP TO THIS, UM, UH, HAD PLANS IN THREE FAILED ATTEMPTS FOR WHAT WAS A CONDO DEVELOPMENT AND THOSE ATTEMPTS FAILED BECAUSE OF THE, UM, THE DEMANDS OF, OF, OF IMPROVEMENTS, UM, IN THE WAY IN, IN LIGHT OF THE FACT THAT SO MUCH INFRASTRUCTURE, UH, IN THE AREA WAS, WAS SUBPAR FOR ONE TRANSPORTATION. 
          SO WE'VE GOT ANSWERED THE CALL WITH RESPECT TO THE TRAFFIC INTERSECTION, UH, ADDING A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND TURN LANES. 
          NUMBER TWO, WITH RESPECT TO DRAINAGE. 
          THERE'S, THERE'S BEEN A STATEMENT ABOUT, UM, IN THE, UH, IN THE WAKE OF OUR DEVELOPMENT, THERE WOULD NEED TO BE MAKESHIFT PROTECTION AGAINST, UM, FLOODING THAT GOES ON TODAY ON AN ANNUAL BASIS. 
          THERE'S FLOODING IN THESE HOMES ON THE NORTH AND EAST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY. 
          AND THAT'S BECAUSE OF THE PROPERTY IN ITS CURRENT CONDITION IS CONCENTRATING FLOWS ONTO THESE HOMES. 
          IT IS OUR INTENTION TO IMPROVE THAT, UH, THAT DRAINAGE INFRASTRUCTURE ONSITE WITH EXCESS DETENTION, AS WAS MENTIONED BEFORE, ALONG WITH BUILDING AN ACTUAL BERM ALONG THE NORTH AND EAST PROPERTY LINES, AS OPPOSED TO, UH, PUTTING THIS ON THE SHOULDERS OF THE RESIDENTS WITH MAKESHIFT MEANS THAT'S THAT THOSE TWO ALONE AMOUNT FOR ALMOST $2 MILLION IN COMBINED IMPROVEMENTS, WHICH IS AGAIN, WHY THE PREVIOUS DEVELOPMENT FAILED AND WHY THE STATUS QUO OF A VACANT TRACT HAS REMAINED FOR SO LONG. 
          UM, AS IT RELATES TO TRANSITION FROM THE COMMERCIAL, UH, USES IMMEDIATELY SOUTH OF OUR PROPERTY TO THE SINGLE FAMILY IMMEDIATELY TO THE NORTH. 
          THIS IS AN MF LIGHT CONCEPT. 
          UM, IT'S BECOME THAT, UM, IN LARGE PART BECAUSE OF THE EXTENSIVE DIALOGUE WE'VE HAD WITH RESIDENTS AS, AS Y'ALL SHOULD BE AWARE BY WAY OF YOUR PACKETS, WE'VE DONE ENHANCED BUFFERING. 
          WE'RE NOT JUST RELYING ON COMPATIBILITY SETBACKS TO CREATE THAT, THAT TRANSITION. 
          WE HAVE ENHANCED BUFFERING A FORTY-FIVE FEET ALONG THE SINGLE FAMILY AT THE NORTH AND EAST SIDE, AS WELL AS THE WEST. 
          WE ALSO HAVE A 25 FOOT VEGETATIVE BUFFER WITHIN THAT 25 VEGETATE FOOT VEGETATIVE BUFFER. 
          WE HAVE AN EXTENSIVE TREE PLAN OF PLANTING FOUR-INCH CALIPER TREES, EVERY 30 FEET ALONG THE NORTH AND EAST PROPERTY LINES. 
          THERE'S TWO STORIES IN THREE STORIES, STEPPING UP TO FOUR STORIES ON THE PROPERTY. 
          THERE WILL NOT BE A 50 FOOT, UH, BUILDINGS ON, ON THE, ON THE PROPERTY ITSELF. 
          THE NEAREST 50 FOOT BUILDING OR FOUR STORY BUILDING WOULD BE 175 FEET 
          [02:10:01]
AWAY. 
          THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. 
          THANK YOU.

          THEY USE HEAVY MACHINERY. 
          THEY TESTED OUT EARLY MORNINGS, WHICH I'M FINE. 
          I WAKE UP AT 6:00 AM EVERY DAY, BUT ON SATURDAYS WHEN I'M TRYING TO, YOU KNOW, REST AND SLEEP IN, I I'M CONSTANTLY WOKEN UP BY HOLT CAT AND WHAT THEY DO IN THAT. 
          AND ALSO WHEN THEY WERE BUILDING THAT, THAT FLOORING STORE RIGHT NEXT TO THE WHOLE CAT SITE, UM, IT WAS REALLY ANNOYING. 
          IT'S BEEN A YEAR OF CONSTANT, UM, NOISE FROM THIS HEAVY MACHINERY. 
          I WORK FROM HOME. 
          SO IT'S, YOU KNOW, HAVING MY ENTIRE WORKDAY DISTURBED BY THIS NOISE. 
          SO I'M, UH, I SUPPOSE HAVING A WHOLE CAT OR ANY, UM, HEAVY MACHINERY AND CONSTRUCTION COME ANY CLOSER TO OUR LITTLE WOOD AREA BEHIND OUR HOMES. 
          SO MY NEIGHBORS AND I ON MELISSA OAKS, YOU KNOW, WE, WE ALL HAVE THIS WOODS THAT I THINK BELONG TO OUR HOA. 
          UM, BUT IT'S STILL REALLY LOUD. 
          LIKE WHOLE CAT JUST KEEPS COMING CLOSER AND CLOSER AS IT SOUNDS LIKE. 
          AND THAT'S WHY WE OPPOSED THIS. 
          LIKE I OPPOSE ANYTHING THAT IS GOING TO CREATE ANY MORE NOISE. 
          IT'S ALREADY REALLY LOUD THE ENTIRE DAY, EVEN LATE INTO THE EVENING, SOMETIMES SATURDAYS. 
          AND IT'S JUST TOO MUCH, YOU KNOW, I THOUGHT THAT I HAD BOUGHT A PROPERTY WHERE, YOU KNOW, I WAS GOING TO HAVE LIKE PEACE OF MIND CAUSE WE OVERLOOK THOSE BEAUTIFUL WOODS BEHIND OUR HOMES, LIKE IN MY, MY BACKYARD OVERLOOKS THOSE, UM, BEAUTIFUL TREES, BUT THEY JUST KEEP, YOU KNOW, COMING CLOSER AND CLOSER. 
          AND, AND THAT'S WHY I'M OPPOSING THIS. 
          THERE'S ALSO A LITTLE, UM, CREEK I THINK ON ONION CREEK. 
          I LIKE TO WALK AROUND MY NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          AND WHEN I WALK TO THE CREEK, I'VE SEEN, SINCE THE CONSTRUCTION ON THE FLOORING STORE STARTED, I'VE SEEN A LOT OF WASTE, UM, ON THE CREEK, IN THE CREEK, AROUND THE CREEK, UH, IN THE LITTLE WOODS IN THAT AREA. 
          SO THAT'S WHY I'M OPPOSING THIS AND ANYTHING THAT IS GOING TO ADD POLLUTION TO OUR LITTLE WOOD BEHIND MELISSA, ALEX. 
          THANK YOU.

          GREAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          CHERYL THOMPSON, AFTER MS. THOMPSON IS GOING TO BE JUSTIN SHAW. 
          GOOD AFTERNOON, GOOD AFTERNOON. 
          UM, MAYOR AND ALL CITY OFFICIALS. 
          UM, MY NAME IS CHERYL THOMPSON AND, UH, I LIVE IN DISTRICT ONE AND I AM REPRESENTING THE COURT NOW TO HILLS NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION. 
          I HAVE A HISTORY HISTORY OF SUPPORTING THE VULNERABLE, UH, AND MAKING SURE THAT THEY HAVE A VOICE WHENEVER I CAN. 
          I DO ENCOURAGE YOU TO REFER TO THE AGENDA DOCUMENTATION THAT YOU HAVE, INCLUDING THE 
          [02:15:01]
VIDEO THAT SHOWS THE DANGER AND HAZARD OF ITEM NUMBER 81. 
          THE PROPOSED AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNIT, UH, IS DANGEROUS FOR CHILDREN, UH, CHILDREN IT'S FOR ANY HUMAN, UH, SAFETY, WHETHER THEY BE CHILDREN OR ELDERLY. 
          UM, SO IT GOES FROM ZERO TO TWO, A HUNDRED PLUS, UH, IN YEARS. 
          AND IT IS ALSO BAD FOR, UM, THE EROSION OF BUTTERMILK CREEK, THE LOCATION, LACKS MOBILITY AND CONNECTIVITY. 
          IT DOES NOT MEET THE QUALIFICATIONS FOR SMART ANYWAY, BECAUSE OF THE TRANSIT PORTS PORTION OF, UM, THE, UH, ISSUE. 
          UH, IT DOES, IT REQUIRES THAT, UH, INDIVIDUALS WOULD HAVE TO CROSS SEVEN LANES, SEVEN LANES OF A BUSY HIGHWAY OF, EXCUSE ME, OF A STREET CAMERON ROAD TO GET TO THE BUS STATION. 
          I MEAN, BUS STOP. 
          UH, IT IS ALONG A HIGHWAY. 
          THERE ARE NO PARKS, NO PARKS IN THE AREA. 
          UH, NO GOODS AND SERVICES, NO GROCERY STORES WITHIN REASONABLE AND SAFE WALKING DISTANCE. 
          EVEN THE TDH CA DENIED THEIR TAX CREDIT APPLICATION. 
          ANY GOVERNING BODY CAN CLEARLY AND EASILY SEE, THIS IS NOT SAFE FOR CHILDREN AS SO IS AFFORDABLE HOUSING, THE BUZZWORD, AND I'M ALL FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING. 
          I'M ON THE RECORD OF BEING FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING, BUT ISN'T AT ANY COST, IS THIS ONE DEVELOPMENT REALLY WORTH THE COST OF CHILDREN'S SAFETY? WOULD YOU FEEL IT WOULD BE WORTH THAT YOUR CHILD OR YOUR GRANDCHILD, BUT WE'RE GOING TO PUT THE POOR OR THE VULNERABLE THERE IT'S OKAY FOR THEM. 
          IS IT REALLY WORTH THE COST OF THE DESTRUCTION OF BUTTERMILK CREEK RESIDENTS ALONG THE CREEK DIRECTLY BEHIND THIS PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT ARE EXPERIENCING SEVERE PROPERTY DAMAGE DUE TO THE EROSION, THE EROSION THAT THE CITY HAS MONEY FOR. 
          AND WE WANT YOU ALL TO GO AHEAD AND GET STARTED WITH WHATEVER IT IS YOU'RE PLANNING TO DO, BUT THAT INFRASTRUCTURE IS NOT CURRENTLY THERE AS THE RESIDENTS OF THE COLLAPSED CHAMPLAIN TOWERS IN SURFSIDE, FLORIDA, WARREN AUTHORITIES OF THE IMMINENT DANGEROUS. 
          I AM SOUNDING THE ALARM TO PROCLAIM THAT THE NECESSARY INFRASTRUCTURE IS NOT IN PLACE FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT. 
          AT THIS TIME, THE LOCATION IS NOT SAFE FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING. 
          IT PUTS CHILDREN IN DANGER. 
          HELLO, CAN YOU HEAR ME? IT PUTS CHILDREN IN DANGER WITH THAT BEING SAID, I JUST SAY, PLEASE SAY NO, JUST SAY NO. 
          AND WE ASKED THE MAYOR PRO TEM TO EXERCISE A REASONABLE LEVEL OF DISCERNMENT, REPRESENT HER COMMUNITY DISTRICT ONE AND RECOGNIZE THAT ALL THAT GLITTERS IS NOT GOLD. 
          AGAIN, THIS IS NOT GOOD. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU, JUSTIN SHAW HERE, MAY I BELIEVE HE SPOKE EARLIER TODAY ABOUT CAVES, BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT HE'S STILL HERE. 
          OKAY. 
          WHAT ABOUT BREAD DENTON? SORRY. 
          AFTER MR. DENTON'S SPEAKS ARE RICHARD PERONI ON DECK. 
          UH, HELLO, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

          I'LL BE VERY BRIEF BASED ON QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS FROM OUR ZAP HEARING. 
          I WOULD NOTE THAT WE UNDERTOOK SEVERAL ADDITIONAL SITE STUDIES AFTER THE ZAP HEARING IN AUGUST TO CONFIRM THAT THERE WERE NO ENDANGERED SPECIES AND NO CAVES ON THE PROPERTY WHERE THE BUILDING'S GOING TO BE CONSTRUCTED. 
          THOSE STUDIES ARE IN THE BACKUP WITH THE CASE. 
          I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UH, RICHARD PERONI.

          UH, THANK YOU FOR, UH, HAVING, UH, LISTENING TO ME. 
          UH, MY NAME IS RUBEN PEREZ AND I AM A NEIGHBOR TO THE PROPERTY I'M SEEKING ON ITEM 58 KHOBAR LANE. 
          [02:20:02]
UM, I'M NOT OPPOSED TO THE, THE ZONING PER SE, UH, BUT I'VE BEEN, UH, NOT HAVING GOOD SUCCESS IN FINDING OUT INFORMATION ABOUT, UH, WHAT THE, UH, THE INFRASTRUCTURE WAS CONSIDERATION TO ALLOW THIS TO GO TO SF THREE FROM DR. 
          UM, THIS IS HISTORICALLY A SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          THE STREET IS NEIGHBORHOOD IS JUST ONE STREET, PROBABLY TWO BLOCKS ALONG. 
          UH, THE, UH, THE RIGHT OF WAY OF THE ROAD IS ONLY 50 FEET WIDE. 
          AND, UH, THE PAVEMENT IS PROBABLY ABOUT 35 TO 40 FEET WITH NO SIDEWALK, NO DRAINAGE INFRASTRUCTURE. 
          SO AS THE, UH, THE SURREY GETS BUILT UP MORE AND MORE FLOODING IS, HAS HAPPENING. 
          UM, MY NEIGHBORS DOWN THE HILL AND I HAVE ALREADY EXPERIENCED FLOODING IN THE, THEIR PROPERTIES AND IT GOES RIGHT THROUGH MINE, INTO THEIRS. 
          SO JUST NEED TO CONSIDER THE, UH, THE DRAINAGE PROBLEMS AND THE TRAFFIC. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THAT'S ALL I HAVE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

          YEAH. 
          WE CAN TALK WITH YOU ABOUT THE FLOODING CONCERNS YOU'RE RAISING. 
          WHAT WAS YOUR NAME AGAIN? RIBBON PRESS. 
          OKAY. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          UM, WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO CALL YOUR OFFICE OR REACH OUT TO MY OFFICE? THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU, CONNOR KENNY. 
          UH, AND THEN BARBARA BORMAN, I GUESS WE HAVE ALREADY CALLED, UM, AND NAUREEN CUISINE BERRY WE'VE ALREADY CALLED CHRISTOPHER BROM WOULD BE NEXT. 
          GO AHEAD. 
          GREAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, UH, CONNOR COONEY, CAPITALLY HOUSING, UH, HERE ON 59 AND 60 CURRENTLY ON CONSENT. 
          I'M JUST HERE FOR QUESTIONS AND ALSO, UH, TO MAKE SURE THAT, UH, YOU SAW IT MAY NOT HAVE MADE THE BACKUP. 
          THE CHAIR OF THE CONTACT TEAM WROTE IN THIS MORNING AND SAID, UH, AND THIS, BY THE WAY IS A LITTLE SIX UNIT EXPERIMENTAL AFFORDABILITY UNLOCKED INFILL PROJECT THAT WE'RE DOING IN ST JOHN'S. 
          UM, AND THE CONTACT TEAM SAYS THE OVERALL SENTIMENT WITHIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS GENERALLY OPTIMISTIC AND AT WORST AND DIFFERENT. 
          AND THEY'RE EXCITED ABOUT THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING, SO NOT SUPPORTING, BUT NOT OPPOSING. 
          UM, AND I'M HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. 
          GREAT. 
          THANK YOU, CHRISTOPHER BRAHM HERE. 
          I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ITEM NUMBER 0 1 1 7, CORRECT. 
          THIS IS THE, UH, UH, UH, ITEM 84. 
          YEAH, I BELIEVE THE PROPERTY AT 10 17 WAS SLOWLY. 
          YES. 
          WATER. 
          OKAY. 
          UH, JUST, UH, I'M NOT EXACTLY AGAINST THE REZONING. 
          I JUST HAD A FEW CONCERNS THAT I WANTED TO THE COUNCIL BE AWARE OF. 
          UM, MY ADDRESS IS 94, 15 SOUTH CHISHOLM LANE. 
          UH, IT'S A VERY SMALL STREET. 
          IT WAS HERE BEFORE AUSTIN WAS OUT THAT FAR. 
          UM, GETTING OUT OF MY STREET ON THE SLAUGHTER LANE. 
          UM, THERE IS A GOLDEN WINDOW WHERE TRAFFIC IS OPEN BETWEEN THE LIGHTS OF UNITED KINGDOM AND WEST OAK. 
          AND THAT ALLOWS US TO GET OUT RIGHT NOW. 
          IT'S A MILD INCONVENIENCE, UH, WITH ALL THE PEOPLE WHO, UH, MAKE THEIR U-TURN THERE, BECAUSE OF COURSE, WHEN YOU'RE DOING THE U-TURN, YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE ALL THREE LANES ARE CLEAR WITH THE PROPERTY AT, I BELIEVE IT WAS 10 17 WEST SLAUGHTER LANE, UH, COMING UP FOR DEVELOPMENT, UH, ALL THREE OF THOSE PROPERTIES THAT THEY'RE TAKING OVER 10, 17, AND THE TWO PROPERTIES, UH, TO THE EAST OF IT. 
          UM, THOSE ARE ALL RIGHT-HAND TURNED TO, UH, TO GET OUT. 
          THERE IS NOT A LEFT-HAND TURN. 
          SO WITH THEM PROPOSING A POSSIBILITY, I THINK IT WAS, UH, FOUR OR 500 UNITS, UH, IN THAT AREA. 
          I HAVE CONCERNS THAT THE AMOUNT OF YOU TURNS, UH, ON, UH, SOUTH CHISHOLM LANE AND BOTH, UH, SOUTH CHISHOLM TRAIL ARE GOING TO, UH, INCREASE QUITE SUBSTANTIALLY. 
          AND, UH, IT'S ALREADY, AS I SAID, A MILD INCONVENIENCE GETTING OUT, UH, BETWEEN THE LIGHTS. 
          UH, MY OTHER CONCERN IS THAT, UH, MY PROPERTY IS RIGHT BEFORE THE SUBSTATION AND I WOULD HAVE DIRECT 
          [02:25:01]
LINE OF SIGHT TO THE PROPOSED APARTMENT BUILDINGS. 
          AND, UH, I, I HAVE PRIVACY CONCERNS. 
          I DON'T REALLY RELISH THE IDEA OF SOMEONE SITTING IN THEIR BALCONY, LOOKING RIGHT DOWN INTO MY BACKYARD. 
          UH, I WAS HOPING THAT, UH, THERE COULD BE SOME SORT OF ACCOMMODATION WHERE ALL THE BALCONIES AND WINDOWS HAD TO FACE THE CENTER OF THEIR PROPERTY, OR AT LEAST THE WINDOWS ON MY SIDE HAD TO BE A PRIVACY WINDOW OF SOME KIND. 
          ALSO, UM, THE LAST CONCERN I HAD IS WE DO HAVE A NICE TREE LINE THERE. 
          I WAS HOPING THAT SOME OF THAT VEGETATION WOULD BE ABLE TO STAY WITH THE DEVELOPMENT, UH, THE NEXT ONE OVER WHICH I CANNOT REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS, WHAT IT WAS CALLED, BUT, UH, IT WAS SEVERAL ACRES AND THEY JUST CLEAR CUT IT. 
          AND, UH, I HOPE THAT THAT'S NOT THE CASE FOR THIS PROPERTY. 
          UH, THAT'S ALL I HAD. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU, SIR. 
          UM, UM, AND KITCHEN, I'M REPRESENTING THAT AREA, SO I APPRECIATE YOU BRINGING THOSE ITEMS TO OUR ATTENTION. 
          THANK YOU. 
          DOES ANYBODY ELSE IN HERE IN PERSON SIGNED UP TO SPEAK AND WE'LL GO TO THE CLERK. 
          WE'RE ABOUT 20 PEOPLE ON THE PHONE. 
          YES, THERE ARE ABOUT 20. 
          OKAY. 
          INTERESTING. 
          OKAY. 
          FIRST SPEAKERS, DALE BERNARD. 
          THANK YOU. 
          CAN YOU HEAR ME? OKAY? YES, PLEASE PROCEED. 
          THANK YOU. 
          I LIVE AT 8 3 0 4 BEAVERBROOK LANE, AND THIS IS REGARDING THE SOUTH FIRST REZONING CASE ITEM 71, UH, FOR 14 YEARS, MY WIFE AND I HAVE OWNED AND LIVED IN A HOUSE THAT ADJOINS THE PROPOSED REZONED PROPERTY. 
          IT IS ONE OF THE HOUSES THAT EXPERIENCES FLOODING PROBLEMS, INCLUDING LAST NIGHT. 
          AT THE TIME OF THE ZAP MEETING, WE ACTUALLY SUPPORTED THE REZONING. 
          I EVEN SUBMITTED A LETTER OF SUPPORT TO THAT EFFECT. 
          WE NO LONGER SUPPORT IT. 
          WE MET WITH THE DEVELOPER MANY TIMES OVER PAST MONTHS, AND THEY LISTENED CAREFULLY TO OUR FLOODING CONCERNS. 
          THEY CAME UP WITH A PLAN THAT SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVES THE SHEET FLOW PROBLEM. 
          IT INVOLVES A THREE FOOT TALL CONCRETE OR WALK WALL PROTECTING SINGLE FAMILY HOMES LIKE MINE THAT HAD BEEN THERE. 
          IT WOULD HAVE HELPED US LAST NIGHT. 
          IN FACT, THE PROPOSED FOUR STORY APARTMENTS SURROUNDED BY SINGLE FAMILY HOMES ON MOST OF THREE SIDES IS UNPRECEDENTED ANYWHERE IN THIS AREA, IT BROUGHT CHANGE IN DENSITY AND HEIGHT WOULD HARM THE CHARACTER OF THE AREA AND EXCEPT FOR DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS, WHO WOULD NOT PROVIDE ANY BENEFIT TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          THE ONLY OPTION FOR OVERFLOW PARKING WOULD BE OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          WE ALREADY HAVE TOO MANY CARS PARKED ON THE NARROW STREETS. 
          ORIGINALLY. 
          WE APPRECIATED HOW THE DEVELOPER LISTENED TO US. 
          THEY WENT OUT OF THEIR WAY TO EXPLAIN THE REZONING PROCESS, AND THEY MADE A REALLY GOOD ATTEMPT TO ADDRESS OUR FLOODING CONCERNS. 
          I DO APPRECIATE THAT WE SUPPORT MULTIFAMILY BEHIND OUR HOUSE. 
          WE KNOW THAT AUSTIN NEEDS IT AS WE IN OUR NEIGHBORS BECAME MORE SAVVY TO THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS. 
          IT BECAME CLEAR THAT THIS DEVELOPER IN SEVERAL INSTANCES, DECEIVED OR ATTEMPTED TO MANIPULATE US INTO SUPPORTING THEIR PROJECT, IT IS THANKS TO SOME ASTUTE NEIGHBORS THAT THESE INSTANCES WERE EXPOSED. 
          IT WAS A SHOCK OVER THE MONTHS, THE DEVELOPER PROVIDED SEVERAL VERSIONS OF CONDITIONAL OVERLAYS AND PRIVATE RESTRICTED COVENANTS BASED ON FEEDBACK FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD JUST BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING, THEY MUDDIED THE WATERS BY SUBMITTING TO MISLEADING DRAWINGS THAT DO NOT CORRESPOND TO THE NEGOTIATED DOCUMENTS, EVEN WORSE. 
          THE DOCUMENTS IN THE PACKET FOR THIS MEETING DO NOT CORRESPOND TO THE DRAWINGS. 
          THE DRAWINGS ARE MEANINGLESS. 
          SEVERAL TIMES. 
          WE ASKED THE DEVELOPER TO UPDATE THE DOCUMENTS SO THAT WE COULD TRUST THE DRAWINGS AND THEY DECLINED. 
          I LOST SLEEP OVER THIS DECEPTION, THE KIND OF THING THAT MAKES ME QUESTION EVERYTHING THE DEVELOPER HAS TOLD US. 
          WE WILL BE HAPPY TO WORK WITH FUTURE REZONING CASES THAT BETTER RESPECTS THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF WHICH IT WILL BE A PART AND RESPECTS THE NEIGHBORS AS WELL. 
          THANK YOU, VERONICA. 
          PENALOZA WOLFERMAN. 
          HELLO? CAN YOU GUYS HEAR ME? YES. 
          GO AHEAD. 
          WE WANT TO START ON THE HOTDOGS. 
          GOOD AFTERNOON. 
          CITY COUNCIL, HONORABLE CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS, CB STAFFERS, BUSINESS OWNERS, AND ALSO FELLOW NEIGHBORS. 
          I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR TIME TODAY. 
          MY NAME IS  AND I LIVE WITHIN 200 FEET OF THE LAND, AND I HAVE LIVED IN THE AREA THERE AS A VERY RECENTLY AS A ONE YEAR AGO. 
          PERSONALLY, I HAVE TRIED VERY HARD TO FIND AN ANGLE TO SUPPORT THIS PROJECT AND TO GET TO A PLACE WHERE I CAN SAY YES, 
          [02:30:01]
THIS WAS ZONING. 
          I HAVE MET WITH THE DEVELOPER ALONE, ALONGSIDE WITH MY NEIGHBORS TO THE START OF 2021. 
          I HAVE ORGANIZED NEIGHBORS WITH EMAILS. 
          I HAVE NOT DOOR TO DOOR TO GET MORE PEOPLE AWARE AND INFORMED OF WHAT IS GOING ON AND DEDICATED AROUND 150 HOURS OF MY OWN PERSONAL TIME. 
          SO THIS REZONING, THIS IS BECAUSE I CARE ABOUT THE FUTURE OF AUSTIN. 
          I CARE ABOUT THE FUTURE OF MY AUTHENTIC COMMUNITY TODAY. 
          I ASKED THE CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS TO OPPOSE THE REZONING ON ITEM 71, BUT I WANT TO EMPHASIZE MY PERSONAL OPPOSITION TO THE NF FOR ZONING DURING THE ZONING AND PLANNING COMMITTEE. 
          THAT'S MY PRIMARY AND MY MOST IMPORTANT CONCERN. 
          THE PROPOSAL WAS ZONING IS NOT A GOOD TRANSITION AND NOT I GO TO FIT FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE FIRST IT DOESN'T FIT THE PREDOMINANT CHARACTER OF OUR COMMUNITY. 
          WHEN THIS BORE IS THE HIGHEST DENSITY SEWN IN PARALLEL, WE HAVE AN F F SIX AROUND THESE LAND TO BE A TRANSITION ZONE, NOT AN ABRUPT CHANGE TO THE CHARACTER OF THE COMMUNITY. 
          THE CITY HAS NOT IMPROVED THE INFRASTRUCTURE TO ALLOW THIS TYPE OF DENSITY BUILDING IN THE COMMUNITY. 
          GET DONE. 
          I HAVE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT EVEN KEEPING THE CURRENT ZONING OR ALLOWING FOR A LOWER ONE WILL BE A MORE APPROPRIATE FIT OR TRANSITION TO THE COMMUNITY, MAINLY BECAUSE OF THE BROTHER. 
          IMAGINE AUSTIN PLAN, WHICH PRIORITIZES COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT THAT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT SURROUNDINGS LIKE BUSINESSES AREAS AND BYPASSING THE DEVELOPER HAS FAILED TO ADDRESS THE IMAGINE AUSTIN PLAN THIRD. 
          AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, I ALSO PERSONALLY BELIEVE THAT AUSTIN NEEDS HOUSING, BUT IT NEEDS THE RIGHT TYPE OF HOUSING. 
          I DID SOME RESEARCH AND IT TURNS OUT THAT OUT OF THE 21 APARTMENT COMPLEXES IN OUR ZIP CODE, 7, 8, 7, 4, 8, ONLY TWO OF THEM ARE. 
          AND THE FOUR OF THEM HAVE SETBACKS OR MORE THAN A THOUSAND FEET TO THE NEAREST HOUSE US CONTRACT WITH WHAT THE DEVELOPER'S PROPOSING, WHICH IS ONLY 45 FEET SETBACK. 
          AGAIN, THIS DOES NOT FIT WITH THE CHARACTER OF THE COMMUNITY. 
          I NEEDED SOME PRECEDENT FOR OUR AREA FOR CALLED SIX GUYS, 55, 50 7% OF ALL APARTMENT COMPLEXES IN OUR VICINITY ARE MSU OR COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL MIXED USES. 
          THESE DO MAKE A LOT MORE SENSE TO DEVELOP IN THE AREA AND ALIGN WITH THE IMAGINE OPTING CONCEPT THAT'S. 
          I SAID THAT IT NEEDS THE RIGHT TYPE OF HOUSING BUILT ACCORDING TO THE SURROUNDING  AND GROW STRONGER AS A COMMUNITY. 
          I EARNED THE CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS TO LISTEN TO THE AFFECTED COMMUNITY AND OPPOSE THE CURRENT REZONING CHANGE. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH, JEFF MILLER? YES. 
          HELLO. 
          CAN YOU HEAR ME? YES. 
          GO AHEAD. 
          HELLO MAYOR ADLER, COUNCIL MEMBERS, CITY OFFICIALS, AND REZONING TEAM. 
          GOOD AFTERNOON. 
          I'M SPEAKING TODAY ON ITEM 71. 
          MY NAME IS JEFF MILLER. 
          MY WIFE BOUGHT OUR SINGLE FAMILY HOME AT 8 3 1 1 BEAVER BROOKS IN 2003, THE PROPERTY AND QUESTIONS DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM US WITHIN 200 FEET OF OUR HOME. 
          WE HAVE BEEN PART OF THIS TIME CONSUMING AND FRUSTRATING BACK AND FORTH WITH THE DEVELOPERS. 
          SINCE EARLY THIS YEAR, WE'VE LISTENED TO THEIR SALES PITCHES MULTIPLE TIMES, AS WELL AS THEIR AMENDMENTS AND OFFERED OUR FEEDBACK. 
          FROM THE BEGINNING, WE OPPOSE A FOUR STORY RENTAL, ONLY HIGH DENSITY STRUCTURE IN OUR F F ZONE NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          AFTER COUNTLESS MEETINGS WITH THE DEVELOPER, WE FEEL THEY HAVE NOT BEEN CLEARED THEIR OBLIGATION CONSISTENT WITH THEIR PROMISES NOR IN NEGOTIATING IN GOOD FAITH. 
          THE LAST TIME THEY MET WITH US BECAUSE I HAD NO HIGHER THAN THREE STORIES. 
          NOW THAT HAS CHANGED AGAIN, WE ARE STRONGLY OPPOSED TO THE PROPOSED EMMA FOR REZONING, FOR THE PROPERTY, IN QUESTION IT'S UNPRECEDENTED AND EXCESSIVE ALLOWANCE FOR OUR SINGLE FAMILY. 
          ONE TO TWO STORY NEIGHBORHOOD AND COMMUNITY. 
          THE CURRENT PLAN IS NOT SICK BENEFIT NOR TRANSITIONED IN THE SURROUNDING AREA OR NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          WE HOPE FOR MORE APPROPRIATE AND OF ALL THE ZONING CONSIDERATION WE EXPECTED AND WELCOMED SOME MIX, YOU EVEN MFC, BUT NOT EMMA FOR THE THREE LARGEST AND THE MOST IMPACTFUL COMPLEXES IN HARVEST SUNDAY ARE  MORE APPROPRIATELY SITUATED AROUND SIGNIFICANT INTERSECTIONS AND ESTABLISHED BUSINESSES, NOT DIRECTLY IN THE MIDDLE OF SF NEIGHBORHOODS. 
          FORMER REZONING ALLOWED FOR PERSONAL COMMUNITY INVESTMENT POTENTIAL WITH HOMES AND LIMITED MIXED USE BUSINESSES THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER SUITED THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY WITH LESS SEVERE IMPACT ON OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          THE SUGGESTED OVERLAYS OR INADEQUATE BENEFITED AND POTENTIALLY CAUSED TREMENDOUS STRAIN ON OUR ANTIQUATED INFRASTRUCTURE IN DRAINAGE. 
          THIS DEVELOPMENT DOES NOT INTEGRATE ITSELF INTO THE COMMUNITY AND MERELY OPPOSES UPON 
          [02:35:01]
IMPOSES UPON IT. 
          THIS PARTICULAR PLAN IS NOT TOO BAD. 
          THE HOME SHORES FOR THOSE LOOKING TO INVEST IN THE COMMUNITY, THE IMPENDING IMPACT OF 290 RENTAL ONLY UNITS IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD IS PROBLEMATIC. 
          ATTEMPTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO ADDRESS THE CONCERNS OF THE FLOODING ON THE PROPERTY. 
          AND YET MY NEIGHBORS AND I AM STILL NOT CONVINCED THAT SUFFICIENT THE DRAINAGE PLAN WILL NOT PREVENT THE SURFACE STREETS FROM FLOODING, WHETHER RETENTION FROM ADDITIONAL PERVIOUS COVER RELEASES TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND EVENTUALLY BOBBY CHRISTIAN, ULTIMATELY, NO MATTER HOW ROBUST THE DEVELOPER'S PLAN THAT CURRENT CITY INFRASTRUCTURE IS INADEQUATE WITH NO FORESEEABLE PLAN TO UPGRADE TRAFFIC CONGESTION IN THE AREA IS DRAMATICALLY INCREASED IN THE LAST FEW YEARS, ESPECIALLY IN THE SLAUGHTER SOUTH FIRST STOP CONGRESS INTERSECTIONS AROUND IT, AMENDMENTS TO LANES AND TRAFFIC LAWS NOT IMPROVE THIS AREA GENERAL USE AND OVERFLOW PARKING FROM THIS DEVELOPMENT WILL ALSO NEGATIVELY IMPACT OUR NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS. 
          THE COST OF THE REQUIRED STREET LIGHT, AN EXPENSE. 
          THE DEVELOPERS USED TO TRY AND JUSTIFY SO MANY UNITS, THE PROPOSED LIGHT AND LEFT TURN LANE AT SOUTH FIRST AND GREAT BRITAIN WILL NOT IMPROVE. 
          ENTER YOUR EXIT FOR MOST OF THOSE DIRECTLY AFFECTED TO THE EAST ARE CLOSEST. 
          EAST WEST STREETS ARE ONE WAY EACH WAY WITH NO LIGHTS TO EITHER STRAIGHT TO THE SOUTH ROUTE ROUTES, ALVIN NATO AND EMS SERVICES TO OUR NORTH DITMAR HAS A CHOKE POINT OVER BOGGY CREEK IN CONGRESS. 
          THESE ARE DANGEROUS INTERSECTIONS ABOUT TO GET WORSE. 
          IF THERE'S ONLY ZONING CHANGE IN THE COURT, DON'T MAKE SURE IT JUST SHOULD PROMOTE COMPATIBILITY TO THE ADJACENT AND NEARBY USERS AND SHOULD NOT NEGATIVELY IMPACT THE NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTER. 
          WE STRONGLY REQUEST. 
          YOU CAN DENY THAT  CONSIDER A MORE APPROPRIATE LEVEL OF REZONING BENEFITING ALL INVOLVED. 
          WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. 
          SINCERELY JAPANESE SUSTAIN, UNKNOWN LAUREL GRISE, GOOD AFTERNOON, MAYOR ADLER CITY, COUNCIL MEMBERS AND FELLOW AUSTINITES. 
          I'LL SPEAK BRIEFLY TODAY IN OPPOSITION TO ITEM 71. 
          CLIMATE CRISIS IS UPON US. 
          A WARMING PLANET IS EVEN MORE THREATENING AND AN ARID DROUGHT PRONE AREAS SUCH AS OURS. 
          INDEED. 
          THE HOTTEST YEARS ON RECORD IN AUSTIN HAVE OCCURRED WITHIN THE PAST DECADE. 
          SCIENCE TELLS US THAT THE KILLING OF TREES, WHICH A SUBSTANTIAL BE COOL, OUR ATMOSPHERE AND THE PAVING OVER OF THE LIVING EARTH WILL INCREASE THE HEAT ISLAND EFFECT OF A CITY DRAMATICALLY. 
          THE DESTRUCTION OF GREEN SPACES IS HAPPENING ACROSS AUSTIN, BUT THESE PARTICULAR NINE ACRES ARE ESPECIALLY VALUABLE. 
          THEY SIT WITHIN AN ESTABLISHED NEIGHBORHOOD, A BUDDING, AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. 
          THEY PROVIDE A HOME TO 24 HERITAGE TREES, PLENTY OF CRITTERS, HUNDREDS OF BIRDS AND COUNTLESS BUTTERFLIES AND INSECTS, INCLUDING CRITICAL POLLINATORS. 
          THIS IS PRISTINE HABITAT THAT MUST NOT BE DESTROYED OUTSIDE. 
          INVESTORS STAND TO PROFIT, VERY HANDSOMELY FROM THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT. 
          WHILE WE WHO LIVE HERE WILL LOSE SO MUCH FOR THE HEALTH OF RESIDENTS AND THE CITY AT LARGE, I IMPLORE YOU TO PROTECT AND PRESERVE THE QUIET BEAUTY OF THIS UNIQUE TREASURE IN SOUTH AUSTIN. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH, PAUL NORTH. 
          HI, MY NAME IS PAUL NORTH AND I'M WITHIN 200 FEET OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT AND I AM AN OPPOSITION, UH, FOR ITEM 71. 
          UH, I SHARE A LOT OF MY NEIGHBORS CONCERNS, UH, WITH DRAINAGE, WITH TRAFFIC, WITH HOW THIS WILL IMPACT OUR NEIGHBORHOODS CHARACTER. 
          UM, AND YOU KNOW, WE'VE HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH WINDY ROADS AND I BELIEVE DAVID MARK, MARK , WHO WAS HIS NAME. 
          UM, AND WE WERE TOLD THAT THE RIGHT OF FLOW FOR THE WATER, UM, IS DIRECTLY INTO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          UM, WE WEREN'T MADE AWARE THAT THIS WAS GOING TO BE THE CASE UNTIL LATE AUGUST, I BELIEVE. 
          UM, SO I DON'T REALLY BELIEVE THAT THE DRAINAGE SOLUTION THAT'S BEEN PROVIDED AND THE ENGINEER THAT'S EMPLOYED BY THE DEVELOPER, UM, IS IMPARTIAL TO SUPPORTING THEIR DEVELOPMENT THE WAY THAT THEY'RE ROUTING THE WATER FROM THE PROPERTY ON THE SOUTHBOUND, AROUND THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD AND CAPTURING THE SHEET FLOW AND A TANK DOESN'T REALLY REDUCE THE FLOW INTO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD BY 10%. 
          AND WHEN YOU HEAR THE WORD A HUNDRED YEAR STORM EVENT, THAT'S REALLY NOT TRUE. 
          IT'S A 1% CHANCE OF A HUNDRED YEAR STORM EVENT PER YEAR. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, IF YOU WERE ON THE COURSE OF A MORTGAGE, YOU HAVE ABOUT A 20%, 6% CHANCE OF HAVING A HUNDRED YEAR STORM EVENT HAPPEN, RIGHT? 
          [02:40:01]
SO WITH THE, THE PR THE PROJECT PLAN SENDING ALL THE WATER INTO ORANGE STREET IS EXTREMELY PROBLEMATIC. 
          AND I WOULD ADVISE THAT THE CITY BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THAT BECAUSE DAVID SAID IN THE, IN THE CALL THAT WE HAD THAT THE DIAMETER OF THE PIPE AND THE INFRASTRUCTURE ON OR STREET CANNOT SUPPORT THE AMOUNT OF WATER THAT IS INTENDED TO BE DUMPED INTO THAT AREA. 
          AND IF THE CITY OF PROVES THAT THIS, THAT THIS CAN GO THROUGH, UM, THE CITY WOULD BE LIABLE AND, UH, AND, UH, CLAIMS TORT LAW. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, I, I WOULD JUST BE REALLY CAREFUL WITH THAT. 
          IF THE INFRASTRUCTURE ISN'T UPDATED AND YOU'RE KNOWINGLY SAYING THAT YOU SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT AND THE WATER IS UNDER CONTROL, AND THERE WAS A FLOODING EVENT, IT'S NOT THE DEVELOPER, THAT'S GOING TO BE RESPONSIBLE. 
          IT'S GOING TO BE THE CITY. 
          THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. 
          CHIP HARRIS, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS. 
          MY NAME IS CHIP HARRIS, UH, AND I'M SPEAKING ON ITEMS NUMBER 67 AND 68, THE NPA AND REZONING OF PROPERTY AT 9 0 1 AND 9 0 7 STOVALL STREET. 
          UH, I SERVE AS THE FACILITATOR AND THE CRESTVIEW NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN CONTACT TEAM. 
          UH, THE CNPC T THE FACILITATOR'S POSITION IS EQUIVALENT TO BEING THE CHAIR, BUT WITH A DIFFERENT TITLE, I'M HERE TODAY TO PRESENT THE RECOMMENDATION AND THE CONTACT TEAM ON THE CASE BEFORE YOU INVOLVING THE PROPERTY, 9 0 1 AND 9 0 7 STOVALL STREET, OR REQUEST TO CHANGE THE NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN AND TO REZONE THE PROPERTY FROM SF THREE TO  AFTER A LENGTHY AND THOROUGH DISCUSSION DEBATE AT THE CNPC TEAM MEETING ABOUT THE PROPOSED NPA AND ZONING CHANGE FOR 9 0 1 AND 9 0 7 STOVALL, THE FOLLOWING MOTION WAS MADE AND APPROVED AND ALSO SERVE AS THE CNP CTS RECOMMENDATION, THE CNP CP SUPPORT SUSTAINABLE DENSIFICATION OF 9 0 1 AND 9 0 7 STOVALL, SIMILAR TO OTHER NEARBY PROPERTIES THAT HAVE BEEN RESUB DIVIDED, BUT MAINTAIN THE REST OF THREE ZONING AS RECOMMENDED IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL, THE CNPC T OPPOSES THE PROPOSED PLAN AMENDMENT TO CHANGE THE PROPERTIES ESTIMATION FROM SINGLE FAMILY TO MULTIFAMILY AND OPPOSES THE PROPOSED ZONING CHANGE FROM SF THREE DMF FOR ARE ANY M F CATEGORY WHILE SUPPORTING INCREASED DENSITY. 
          MANY OF THE MEETING PARTICIPANTS CITED MULTIPLE ISSUES THAT LED TO THEIR SUPPORT, THE MOTION, INCLUDING THE MAGNITUDE OF THE CHANGE AND ITS EFFECT ON A NARROW STREET POPULATED WITH SINGLE FAMILY HOMES, ADDITIONAL ISSUES STAYS INCLUDED, INCREASED TRAFFIC, ADDITIONAL STREET PARKING IMPACTING THE SAFETY OF CYCLISTS AND PEDESTRIANS. 
          MANY OF WHOM ARE ELDERLY OR CHILDREN AND INFRASTRUCTURE CAPACITY OF THE CITY NOISE AND NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTER. 
          CITY STAFF HAS VERIFIED THAT A VAL PETITION OF 29% WAS SUBMITTED OPPOSING THIS ZONING CHANGE. 
          AND IF THE PROPERTY WAS FULLY DEVELOPED UNDER THE CURRENT ZONING SF THREE, ONCE THE PROPERTY IS RE SUBDIVIDED, THE INCREASED IN DENSITY WOULD BE 500%. 
          THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, JIM SUMMERS. 
          HELLO? YES, PLEASE PROCEED. 
          I'M A REP. 
          I THOUGHT WE WERE TALKING ON ITEM NUMBER 84. 
          SO IS THAT CORRECT? YES. 
          THAT'S FINE. 
          GO AHEAD. 
          WELL, ANYWAY, I'M OPPOSING IT. 
          UM, PLENTY OF NEIGHBORS ARE SLAPPED UP, SO I'M NOT GOING TO SAY WHAT THEY WOULD SAY, BUT I'M JUST SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF BICYCLE SAFETY OVER THERE. 
          I'M A 75 YEAR OLD MAN, AND I BICYCLE TO LOTS OF PLACES THAT WERE THERE AND ANY, ALL THAT TRAFFIC IS GOING TO MAKE IT MUCH MORE QUESTIONABLE. 
          AND SO, UM, I JUST DON'T REALLY SEE THAT I WANT TO HAVE THERE HAVE BEEN ANYWAY. 
          THAT WAS ALL I NEEDED TO ADD. 
          THANK YOU, LULU FRANCOISE. 
          GOOD AFTERNOON. 
          MY NAME IS LOUIS FRANCOISE AND I LIVE AT 76 0 2 PEBBLE COVE ALONG BUTTERMILK CREEK DIRECTLY OPPOSITE THIS PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT. 
          [02:45:02]
I'M RESPECTFULLY ASKING THAT YOU VOTE IN OPPOSITION TO THE ZONING REQUEST FOR ITEM NUMBER 81, ZONING CASEY 14 DASH 20 21 29 POINT 45% OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS THAT FALL WITHIN THE 200 FOOT BOUNDARY OF THIS LIGHT UP. 
          I'M SORRY. 
          I WAS JUST TRYING TO PETITION AGAINST THE ZONING REQUEST. 
          THE ONLY PROPERTY OWNERS THAT DID NOT SIGN AN OPPOSITION ARE THE TWO COMMERCIAL PROPERTY OWNERS ON EITHER SIDE OF THIS LOT AND TWO RENTAL PROPERTY OWNERS THAT WE COULD NOT GET IN TOUCH WITH. 
          YOU SHOULD ALSO HAVE THE LIST OF ADDITIONAL 42 PROPERTY OWNERS THAT SIGNED A PETITION AGAINST THE ZONING REQUEST. 
          EVEN THOUGH THEY FALL OUTSIDE OF THAT 200 FOOT BOUNDARY, THEIR CONCERNS SHOULD NOT BE IGNORED DUE TO A PETITION BOUNDARIES STIPULATION. 
          YOU'VE HAD VIDEOS THAT WE CREATED THAT, UH, SHOW YOU OR GIVE YOU A VISUAL OF HOW MUCH EROSION IS CURRENTLY HAPPENING ALONG BUTTERMILK CREEK TO INCLUDE THE IMPACT IT'S HAVING ON MY HOUSE, AS WELL AS THE EXISTING APARTMENT COMPLEX TO THE WEST OF THIS PROPERTY. 
          ANY RAINWATER RUNOFF THAT THIS PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT WILL CREATE FROM THE NEW COVERED PARKING AREA WILL HAVE TO BE DIRECTED TO FLOAT DOWN TO BUTTERMILK CREEK EXPEDITING. 
          THE EROSION RUMORS WERE THAT MAYOR PRO TEM HARPER MADISON WAS WORKING WITH THE DEVELOPER TO POSSIBLY BUILD A GREEN SPACE ALONDRA CREEK, THAT INCLUDED PATHWAY THAT WOULD ALLOW CHILDREN TO WALK ALONG BUTTERMILK CREEK TO GET TO CAMERA AND ROGUE. 
          SO THEY WOULDN'T HAVE TO WALK ALONG THE 180 3 ACCESS ROAD. 
          THE PROBLEM IS THAT THERE'S NOT AN EMBANKMENT LEFT BEHIND THE APARTMENT COMPLEX NEXT TO THIS LOT TO BUILD A WALKWAY. 
          THE BATMAN HAS LONG ERODED OVER THE YEARS, SO THAT THERE'S NOW AN IMMEDIATE STEEP DROP OFF DIRECTLY DOWN TO THE CREEK BEHIND THE APARTMENT COMPLEX SECURITY WOULD ALSO BE AN ISSUE SINCE THERE ARE MANY HOMELESS PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN THIS AREA, ESPECIALLY, UH, ON THE HIGHWAY AND CAMERON ROAD INTERSECTION. 
          SO AS AN EXAMPLE, A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, A DECEASED HOMELESS MAN WAS DISCOVERED ALONG THE CREEK BY THE GRANDCHILDREN OF A RE OF A RESIDENT THAT LIVES ON GLEN HILL CO, WHICH IS ONE CUL-DE-SAC NEXT TO MINE. 
          THE CITY OF AUSTIN WATERSHED DEPARTMENT HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE EROSION PROBLEMS WITH BEHIND MY PROPERTY SINCE 2014, MAYOR PRO TEM MADISON HARPER SHOULD ALSO BE AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS I'M HAVING SINCE I'VE INCLUDED HER ON MY EMAIL DISCUSSIONS WITH THE CITY OF AUSTIN SINCE 2020, UH, ESPECIALLY SINCE, UM, WE'VE SINCE MAY OF SEVENTH OF LAST YEAR IN WHICH I SENT HER AN EMAIL NOTIFYING HER, THAT I HAD CALLED HER OFFICE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TO ASK FOR HELP IN GETTING THE EROSION ISSUE RESOLVED, BUT THAT I HAD NOT RECEIVED A CALL BACK. 
          HER DIRECT RESPONSE TO ME WAS, AND I QUOTE GOOD MORNING, AND THANK YOU FOR REACHING OUT TO SHARE YOUR CONCERNS WITH OUR OFFICE. 
          WE APPRECIATE IT AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, THE CURRENT PANDEMIC CRISIS, AND THE FACT THAT IT'S A COUNCIL WEEK HAS HAD ME AND MY STAFF OTHERWISE OCCUPIED SINCE YOUR ORIGINAL CORRESPONDENCE YESTERDAY, YOUR PERSISTENCE IS APPRECIATED AS IS YOUR PATIENT. 
          SOMEONE WILL BE IN TOUCH AS SOON AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE. 
          WELL, I'M STILL WAITING FOR ANY CONTACT FROM, OR ANY PROACTIVE SUPPORT FROM OUR OFFICE TO HELP ME WITH MY PROBLEM. 
          I'M GLAD THAT THE MAYOR PRO TEM HAS THE DEDICATION AND TIME TO SPEND WITH DEVELOPERS TO TRY TO GET THEIR PROJECTS BUILT. 
          BUT NO ONE FROM HER OFFICE HAS OFFERED TO SET UP A CALL WITH THE RESIDENTS OF, OF HILLS, ESPECIALLY THE RESIDENTS THAT LIVE ALONG BUTTERMILK CREEK, THE FI BETHANY BOARDROOM. 
          GOOD AFTERNOON. 
          UH, MY NAME IS BETHANY BOUDREAUX, AND I'VE BEEN A HOMEOWNER IN THE CRACKING OF ONION CREEK FOR JUST OVER FOUR YEARS. 
          UM, THIS IS THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT'S DIRECTLY BEHIND. 
          ODENSE 72 HOPE CATS PROPOSED REZONING, UM, WHICH I'M OPPOSED. 
          SO I WAS PREPARED TO SPEAK TO MY FLOOD AND POLLUTION CONCERNS REGARDING THE PROPOSED REZONING. 
          UM, AND SINCE MY NEIGHBOR JUST SPOKE, I NOW UNDERSTAND THAT THIS REQUEST IS TO PROVIDE, UM, SOME DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS IN THE AREA. 
          HOWEVER, I'M STILL CONCERNED ABOUT THE OVERALL NOISE THAT RESULT IN TEARING DOWN. 
          UM, SOME OF THE WOODED AREA THAT CURRENTLY EXISTS, THE SMALL WOODED AREA BEHIND OUR HOUSE SERVES AS THE NOSE NOISE BARRIER TO THE WHOLE CAT SITE. 
          AND  WHOLE CAT OPERATES AT ALL HOURS OF THE DAY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. 
          WE CAN STILL HEAR TRUCKS AND CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT THAT DISRUPTS THE PEACE AND QUIET OF ALL THE RESIDENTS, WHICH IS ESSENTIAL TO OUR MENTAL HEALTH. 
          AND ESPECIALLY DURING THESE TIMES, WHEN MANY OF US ARE WORKING FROM HOME, UM, I'M CONCERNED THAT THE AREA BETWEEN THE PROPOSED REZONING AREA AND OUR BACKYARDS IS SHRINKING. 
          A RECENT REZONING WAS APPROVED THAT ALLOWED FOR THE BUILDING OF A FLOOR AND DECOR IN 2020, UM, WHICH REDUCED THIS BARRIER TO ABOUT A HUNDRED FEET. 
          SO MANY TREES WERE TORN DOWN THAT I CAN HEAR PEOPLE SPEAKING IN THE PARKING LOT DROPS, UM, TRUCKS DROPPING OFF MATERIALS. 
          AGAIN, THIS HAPPENS AT ALL HOURS AND EVEN DRAG RACES THAT HAPPENED IN THE PARKING LOTS ON SOME WEEKEND NIGHTS. 
          UM, MY NEIGHBOR NOW HAS A CLEAR EYELINE SITE TO THE STORE AND BY 35 OR ONCE HE USED TO HAVE BEAUTIFUL CEDAR TREES, THESE TREES ALSO SERVE AS A BARRIER TO THE CONSTANT 
          [02:50:01]
TRAFFIC NOISE OF , WHICH I CAN NOW HEAR MORE CLEARLY WITH THE LOSS OF THE TREES. 
          SO I ASK THAT YOU PLEASE OPPOSE THIS REZONING TO ALLOW FOR THE WOODED AREA TO SERVE ITS PURPOSE, WHICH IS PROVIDING A BARRIER, BOTH FOR NOISE AND PHYSICAL DISTANCE BETWEEN OUR SMALL NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE SURROUNDING BUSINESSES AND THE HIGHWAY. 
          THANK YOU GUYS FOR YOUR TIME, JOHN, THE, FOR MY TIME BEGINS CAN, UH, PROVIDE THEM 73. 
          CAN I HAVE THE CLERK PLEASE PUT UP MY PRESENTATION ON SCREEN AND ONCE DONE, LET ME KNOW SO THAT MY TIME CAN BEGIN. 
          SURE. 
          GO AHEAD. 
          AND VICE PRESIDENT OF THE PARKSIDE AT SLAUGHTER CREEK NEIGHBORHOOD HOA, IT'S CLEAR WE NEED AFFORDABLE HOUSING. 
          NO ONE IS ARGUING THAT THE ISSUE HERE IS SAFETY INEQUALITY. 
          WE MUST ALWAYS PUT THE SAFETY OF PEOPLE BEFORE HOUSING AND POLITICS SLIDE TO WITHIN THE RED CIRCLE, SURROUNDED ON ALL SIDES, BUT A FLOOD PLAIN WOULD BE THE SITE AND ADJACENT TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE 26 HOUSES ARE IN THE FLOODPLAIN. 
          LIKE THREE, WE CALL OVER 77 MILLION WAS SPENT ON THE FLOODING BUYOUTS OF OVER 850 HOMES AND ONION CREEK. 
          THIS SITE IS LESS THAN 1300 FEET FROM THOSE BUYOUTS WHERE A 31 YEAR OLD OTHER JOSEFINA RODRIGUEZ AND HER EIGHT MONTH OLD SON, JAY DROWNED FROM FLOODWATERS SLIDE FOUR. 
          I SHARED A VIDEO OF DRIVING BRENT ROAD WALL FLOODED CLEARLY DEPICTING NO WAY FOR A PEDESTRIAN TO GET TO THE BUS STOP. 
          HOWEVER, RECEIVED A MINIMAL RESPONSE SLIDE FIVE. 
          THIS IS BRENT ROAD DURING THE DAY AND AT NIGHT WHERE THERE'S THERE, WHERE THERE IS ZERO LIGHTING, MANY LOW INCOME HOUSEHOLDS, UH, MANY, UH, LOW INCOME HOUSEHOLDS DO NOT HAVE A CAR FOR THE CITY. 
          THERE ARE NO SIDEWALKS, CURBS OR ANYTHING SAFE ABOUT A PEDESTRIAN USING THIS ROAD TO GET TO THE BUS STOP, LET ALONE ANYWHERE. 
          AND KITCHEN'S CHIEF OF STAFF SAID, QUOTE, WHAT DRIVES THESE LOCATIONS IS BECAUSE THEY ARE SUBSTANDARD. 
          AND THE DIRT IS CHEAPER. 
          PEOPLE ARE NOT PEOPLE DYING IS OKAY. 
          SINCE THE LAND IS CHEAPER, SLIDE SIX. 
          THIS IS WHAT THE STAFF PROPOSED FOR A SIDEWALK. 
          ONLY ALONG THE PROPERTY LINE, SOLVING NOTHING. 
          HOWEVER, AN KITCHEN SAID, QUOTE, IF SOMEONE'S JUST GOING TO BUILD A STRIP OF SIDEWALK IN FRONT OF THEIR DEVELOPMENT, THEN THAT DOESN'T ACCOMPLISH WHAT I SAID. 
          I WAS LOOKING FOR SLIDE SEVEN, STAND BY YOUR WORD. 
          IF THERE IS NO OFFICIAL COMMITMENT TO IMPROVE THE ENTIRETY OF RENT ROAD PRIOR TO A REZONING VOTE, THERE IS ZERO REASON. 
          REZONING SHOULD BE APPROVED. 
          SLIDE EIGHT. 
          IT'S CLEAR. 
          THERE IS NO MONEY FOR THIS. 
          AS ANN'S CHIEF OF STAFF EXPLAINED, QUOTE RESOURCES ARE TYPICALLY ALREADY COMMITTED TO PROJECTS BASED ON EXISTING COMPLETED ANALYSIS, PLANNING AND DESIGN SLIDE NINE. 
          THIS REZONING IS OUT OF ALIGNMENT WITH IMAGINE AUSTIN PER CITY STAFF CONFIRMED REPEATEDLY AND IS ILLEGAL. 
          I POINTED THIS OUT TO ANTIGEN DIRECTLY AND CONVENIENTLY 10 DAYS LATER, A CITY MEMO WAS RELEASED DECLARING THAT THE REZONING QUOTE WITH THE CONDITIONS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD TRAFFIC ANALYSIS COMPLIES WITH THE IMAGINE AUSTIN COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT TRAFFIC ANALYSIS SAYS, QUOTE, RECONSTRUCT BRENT ROAD TO URBAN CENTER ALONG THE PROPERTY FRONTAGE THE TRAFFIC ANALYSIS EXISTED WHILE THE STAFF REPEATEDLY STATED IT WAS OUT OF ALIGNMENT IN THE FIRST PLACE UNEXPLAINABLY ZONING WENT FROM OUT OF COMPLIANCE TO A MEMO STATING OTHERWISE WITH NO SOUND BASIS, SLIDE 10, BEING NONCOMPLIANT WITH IMAGINE AUSTIN, THE CITY OF AUSTIN IS ATTEMPTING TO ILLEGALLY REZONE. 
          THIS IS BEING BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE GOVERNOR, MULTIPLE ATTORNEYS FOR THE STATE, AS WELL AS STATE JUDGES FOR THEIR REVIEW. 
          AS IT IS CLEARLY A GROSS VIOLATION OF LAW. 
          SLIDE 11, WE MUST PUT SAFETY FIRST. 
          WE DON'T NEED ANOTHER FATAL SLEDDING TRAGEDY, LIKE A MOTHER AND BABY DROWNING. 
          AND YOU STATED IN OUR COMMUNITY MEETING THAT QUOTE, THIS COMPLEX WILL BE FOCUSED ON THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR THOSE THAT ARE LIVING THERE. 
          YOU AND THE COUNCIL SHOULD PROVE YOUR WORD BY OPPOSING. 
          IF THE CITY APPROVED IT AND VIOLATING THE BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS AND SAFETY OF THE POOR, BUT AS HE IS GETTING RUN OVER AND CLEARLY VIOLATING THE LAW IS OKAY BY YOU. 
          SLIDE 12. 
          THERE WERE OVER 80 PAGES OF COMMITTEE OPPOSITION TO THIS REZONING DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS, BUT A BOARD WE NEED MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING, BUT SAFETY MUST COME FIRST, STAND BY YOUR WORD AND BE A DECENT HUMAN BEING AND OPPOSE THIS REZONING. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          DEBBIE MAYNOR HI JACKSON AND MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS. 
          THIS IS DEBBIE MAINER. 
          I'M PRESIDENT OF THE PARKSIDE AT SLAUGHTER CREEK HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION REPRESENTING OUR 454 HOMEOWNERS. 
          AND I'M ALSO SPEAKING IN OPPOSITION TO ITEM 73. 
          YOUR PACKET INCLUDES THE DOCUMENTS PROVIDED TO THE ZONING AND PLANNING COMMISSION ON AUGUST 17TH AND AN UPDATED MEMO PROVIDED THIS WEEK. 
          I'LL HAVE THE DETAILS OF OUR CONCERNS, BUT TODAY I'M JUST GOING TO BRIEFLY SPEAK TO OUR MOST SIGNIFICANT CONCERNS FROM THE HOMEOWNERS IN OPPOSING THIS REZONING RENT ROAD ITSELF, AS A CONCERN IS CURRENTLY A TWO LANE ROAD WAS BLANK. 
          HERS IS ET CETERA. 
          ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC ON BRANT ROAD GENERATES BY THE ADDITION OF A HIGH DENSITY DEVELOPMENT IS NOT SUPPORTED BY THE CURRENT STATE OF THE ROAD. 
          THE ROAD IS NOT JUST NOT DESIGNED TO SUSTAIN MORE VEHICLE USE, AND THERE'S ALREADY A SAFETY IN NON VEHICLE USE, BUT THERE'S PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE USE. 
          WE REQUEST THAT SIGNIFICANT ROAD IMPROVEMENTS TO BE A PART OF ANY CONSIDERATION. 
          BUDDING IS ANOTHER CONCERN. 
          THE ADDITION OF MULTIFAMILY HOUSING IN THIS AREA, EVEN AS MF TWO IS RECOMMENDED BY STAFF WILL POTENTIALLY IMPACT DRAINAGE AND FLOODING FROM THE RUNOFF CREATED BY THE ADDITION OF IMPERVIOUS COVER. 
          AS IT LESSENS THE ABILITY OF THE LAMP TO ABSORB THE RAINFALL, THAT'S CREATING MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR FLOODING, 
          [02:55:01]
INCLUDING FLOODING IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, PROVIDING ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS AN EXCELLENT INITIATIVE FOR THE CITY. 
          HOWEVER, WHEN THE LOCATION IS A SUBSTANDARD AREA THAT POSES A SAFETY CONCERNS FOR THE POTENTIAL RESIDENTS, IT IS GENUINELY CONCERNING. 
          THE IMPACT ON WILDLIFE IS THE LAST CONCERN I'LL DRIFT. 
          CITY STAFF HAVE RECOMMENDED THAT THE AREA NOT TO BE DEVELOPED IN THE PROPOSED REZONE AREA, BE DEDICATED AS PARKLAND. 
          HOWEVER, THERE'S A PROVISION IN CITY CODE, SECTION 25 DASH ONE DASH 6 0 1 THAT ALLOWS A PARKLAND DEDICATION TO BE ACCOMPLISHED WITH THESE IN LIEU OF THE ACTUAL DEDICATED LAND WE RESPECTFULLY REQUESTED. 
          IF YOU APPROVE THE ZONING CHANGED TO THE FEES AND LITTLE PARKLINE PARKLAND, DEDICATION NOT BE CONSIDERED, AND THAT THERE ACTUALLY BE A PARKLAND IN SUMMARY, THE MEMBERS OF THE PARKSIDE IS SOLDER CREEK HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION ARE NOT IN SUPPORT OF THE REZONING AS PROPOSED. 
          IT IS OUR POSITION THAT THE AREA OF BRENT ROAD BEING CONSIDERED IS NOT THE BEST LOCATION FOR ANY MULTI-FAMILY DEVELOPMENT WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT ROAD IMPROVEMENTS, ADDRESSING POTENTIAL FLOODING AND RESOLVING IT AND ENSURING THAT THERE IS AN ACTUAL PARKLAND DEDICATED LOCATION. 
          I APPRECIATE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE A POSITION AND HELP US. 
          YOU WILL GIVE OUR CONCERNS, YOUR CONSIDERATION AS YOU MAKE YOUR DECISIONS IN THE COMING WEEKS ABOUT THE ZONING REQUEST. 
          THANK YOU, BOBBY HUDSON. 
          HELLO? CAN YOU HEAR ME? YES, PLEASE PROCEED. 
          YES, I'M BOBBY. 
          I'LL BE TALKING ABOUT AGENDA ITEM 66. 
          I LIVE IN ANGUS VALLEY ON OUR POST. 
          THE ZONING CHANGES TO THE 3M PROPERTY. 
          I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE'S BEEN AN AGREEMENT MET ON THIS, AND I WANT TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY, THIS FORUM, TO TALK ABOUT SOME ISSUES WITH THE ACTUAL DEVELOPMENT. 
          THE PROPOSED OFFICE DEVELOPMENT IS PROJECTED TO GENERATE OR 15,000 TRIPS PER DAY. 
          THE TWO SIDES FOR THE ENTRANCE TO THIS SITE DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH CAPACITY TO HANDLE THE RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, WHICH WILL CREATE ADVERSE TRAFFIC CONDITIONS ON THE NEARBY STREETS. 
          EVEN WITH THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS. 
          I WANT TO FOCUS ON THE SITE ENTRANCE ON WEST CAL-PASS, WHICH IS A 40 FOOT WIDE THREE LANE, RESIDENTIAL STREET, SINGLE FAMILY HOUSES LINE, THE STREET OPPOSITE. 
          THIS ENTRANCE, THE PROJECTED SITE TRAFFIC ON WEST CALPADS IS 600% MORE THAN THE EXISTING NEIGHBOR COULD TRACK THE ACCUSING THAT ROAD. 
          THE SITE RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WILL CREATE. 
          WE WILL CREATE CONGESTION THAT IMPACTS THE HOUSES ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE ENTRANCE, A PROPOSED IMPROVEMENT, A CONTINUOUS GREEN T INTERSECTION THAT DUVALL IN WEST CALPEC FAILS TO ACHIEVE THE MINIMUM LEVEL OF SERVICE OF D REQUIRED BY THE TRANSPORTATION CRITERIA MANUAL. 
          THE PROJECTED TRAFFIC VOLUME IS JUST TOO HIGH. 
          THE TRANSPORTATION CRITERIA MANUAL RECOMMENDS DOWNSIZING OR CHANGING THE LAND USE CODE FOR PROPOSED DEVELOPMENTS THAT CREATE ADVERSE TRAFFIC CONDITIONS LIKE THIS. 
          THESE OPTIONS WERE NOT MENTIONED IN THE TIA, THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE SECTION 25 DASH SIX DASH 1 41 BURDENS THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE DIRECTOR OF TRANSPORTATION WITH DENYING A DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION. 
          IT'S A TRA TRAFFIC GENERATED BY THE DEVELOPMENT EXCEEDS THE MAXIMUM DESIRABLE OPERATING LEVEL OF 4,000 CARS PER DAY ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET, 40 FEET OR WIDER THE PROJECTED 7,400 CARS PER DAY ON WEST CAP. 
          ETHICS SEES THIS LEVEL BY NEARLY 200%, GIVEN THAT THE PROPOSED MITIGATIONS FAIL TO ACHIEVE THE MINIMUM REQUIRED LEVEL OF SERVICE DUE TO THE HIGH TRAFFIC VOLUMES. 
          THIS DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION SHOULD BE DENIED. 
          WE REALIZED THAT THIS 56 ACRE SITE WILL BE DEVELOPED WITH OR WITHOUT THE ZONING CHANGES, BUT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE DEVELOPMENT IS APPROPRIATELY SIZED FOR THE AVAILABLE ACCESS TO THE SITE. 
          THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. 
          GWENDOLYN STROUD. 
          HI, THANKS FOR HAVING ME TODAY. 
          UM, I WANTED TO TALK TO Y'ALL BECAUSE A FEW WEEKS AGO, AFTER THE ZAP MEETING, I BUMPED INTO ONE OF MY NEIGHBORS I'M DISCUSSING ITEM NUMBER 84, THE DEVELOPMENT AT 10 17 ON SLOT 10 17 FODDER. 
          SO MY NEIGHBOR AND I WERE DISCUSSING HOW AFTER THE ZAP MEETING, THIS WAS COMING BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL, AND WE REALLY THOUGHT IT WAS A DONE DEAL, PROBABLY FRUITLESS. 
          AND THAT Y'ALL WERE JUST GOING TO GO THROUGH THE MOTIONS AND RUBBER STAMP, THE ZAP DECISION. 
          AND I'VE THOUGHT LONG ABOUT HOW DISHEARTENING THAT IS TO FEEL LIKE, UM, OUR, OUR CITY COUNCIL DOESN'T REALLY RESPOND TO ITS CITIZENS AND THE ONLY PEOPLE PUSHING FOR THIS ARE PEOPLE THAT STAND TO PROFIT FROM IT. 
          AND I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT, BUT THEY DON'T LIVE IN THIS AREA. 
          AND AS FAR AS I KNOW, NO COUNCIL MEMBERS LIVE DOWN HERE, BUT THAT 
          [03:00:01]
SHOULDN'T MATTER. 
          WE ELECTED OUR CITY COUNCIL WITH THE EXPECTATION THAT Y'ALL WOULD ADVOCATE FOR US AND NOT JUST THE PEOPLE WANTING TO MOVE HERE. 
          IT'S REASONABLE TO EXPECT A RESPONSE TO OUR CONCERNS AND REASONABLE FOR Y'ALL TO PUT OUR CONCERNS FIRST. 
          THAT'S WHY WE ELECTED YOU. 
          IT SEEMS THAT OFTEN LEADERS FOR SO LONG, I'VE HAD TO GRAPPLE WITH HOW TO HELP OFTEN GROW. 
          THEY'VE STOPPED THINKING THROUGH HOW TO MAKE OFTEN BETTER AND MORE PEOPLE LIVING HERE IS NOT THE SAME AS MORE LIVABLE TO LIVE HERE. 
          THIS WILL CREATE A LOGISTICAL TRAFFIC CRISIS, NOT JUST CONGESTION, BUT REAL DANGER. 
          IF THIS BUILDING PROCEEDS AS IS, I'M ASKING THAT EVEN THOUGH YOU DON'T LIVE DOWN HERE AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO CONTEND WITH THIS ON A DAY TO DAY BASIS, LIKE WE DO, I'M ASKING THAT CONSIDERATION TO YOUR, AND I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME TODAY. 
          THANK YOU, MARGARET VALENTI, HONORABLE MAYOR, MAYOR PRO TEM AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS. 
          THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TODAY. 
          I'D LIKE TO THANK AND APPRECIATE MY NEIGHBORS WHO ALSO SPOKE BEFORE YOU TODAY. 
          I AM SPEAKING IN SUPPORTIVE ITEM 71. 
          MY NAME IS MARGARET VALENTI AND I LIVE ON PEACEFUL HILL LANE, A HALF MILE FROM THE SUBJECT TRACK. 
          I'M AN AUSTIN RESIDENT FOR 32 YEARS AND HAVE OWNED MY HOME FOR 15 YEARS. 
          I PREVIOUSLY WORKED IN THE PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT AND HAVE REVIEWED DOZENS OF REZONING APPLICATIONS AND PROJECT PROPOSALS. 
          I SPOKEN PORTED THIS REZONING AT THE MAY 18TH. 
          XAPURI MY LETTER OF SUPPORT IS INCLUDED IN THE BACKUP MATERIAL. 
          SINCE MAY I HAVE CONTINUED TO STAY INVOLVED, ATTENDING MEETINGS, READING EMAILS, AND REVIEWING DOCUMENTS PROVIDED BY THE PROJECT TEAM. 
          MY SUPPORT CONTINUES BECAUSE I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING SINCE THAT, THAT HAS CAUSED ME TO CHANGE MY MIND. 
          IN FACT, THERE ARE NOW GREATER, MORE PRESSING REASONS TO SUPPORT THE REQUEST. 
          THE PROJECT TEAM HAS OFFERED TWO CONCEPT PLANS THAT ADDRESS THE VERY REAL AND IMMEDIATE CONCERNS RELATED TO FLOODING PROVIDING NEARLY 2 MILLION IN INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS OFFERING UPWARDS OF 290 DESPERATELY NEEDED HOUSING UNITS AND ALSO PROVIDING CONNECTIVITY AND SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS. 
          THE TEAM HAS CONTINUED TO RESPOND TO COMMUNITY CONCERNS WITH INCREASED SETBACKS, VEGETATIVE BUFFERS, WITH A TWO TO THREE-YEAR MANAGEMENT PLAN, WALKING PATHS ALONG THE PERIMETER OF THE PROPERTY AND COMMUNITY ACCESS TO A PUBLIC SITTING AREA ALONG SOUTH FIRST STREET. 
          HOWEVER, MY STRONGEST SUPPORT STEMS FROM MY DESIRE THAT HOUSING PROJECTS LIKE THIS ARE LOCATED ALONG TRANSPORTATION QUARTERS, SUCH AS SOUTH BIRCH STREET, THAT COUPLED WITH THE RIPENESS OF DEVELOPMENT OF THIS PROPERTY, THE SEVERE HOUSING CRISIS WE FACE AND THE AFFORDABILITY UNLOCKED DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS THAT WOULD ALLOW FOR A PARCEL THIS SIZE TO BE DEVELOPED AS A TIER TWO PROJECT, WHICH ARE GENERALLY DENSER TALLER WITH SMALLER SETBACKS, LESS IMPERVIOUS COVER, FEWER TREES, MORE CARS, MORE PEOPLE IN NOISE. 
          ALL THEY MADE TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THE PROPOSED ZONING IS NOT ONLY INAPPROPRIATE LAND USE FOR THIS LOCATION BECAUSE OF ITS PROXIMITY TO A SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT IT IS A HIGHEST AND BEST USE FOR A PROPERTY THAT IS RIPE FOR DEVELOPMENT IN THE 11TH LARGEST CITY IN THE COUNTRY. 
          AND AS YOU ARE PROBABLY AWARE, THERE WAS A TIER TWO PROJECT CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION, A MERE TWO MILES NORTH ALSO ON SOUTH FIRST STREET IN CLOSING, I'M ASKING THE CITY COUNCIL TO SUPPORT STAFF AND ZAP TO GRANT MULTIFAMILY, RESIDENT MODERATE HIGH DENSITY, CONDITIONAL OVERLAY. 
           COMBINED NUTRITIVE VOTING. 
          THANK YOU, DYLAN MCPHEE. 
          GOOD AFTERNOON, COUNCIL. 
          I'M DYLAN MCAFEE. 
          AND I'M SPEAKING TO ITEM 71 8 4 0 1 FIRST STREET. 
          MY PARTNER AND I LIVE AT 8 2 0 3 FIRST STREET, A FEW HUNDRED FEET NORTH OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT SITE. 
          THIS IS OUR FIRST HOME AND WE JUST MOVED IN SIX MONTHS AGO. 
          WE ARE CURRENTLY OPPOSED TO MF FOUR DENSITY. 
          OUR BIGGEST CONCERN IS TRAFFIC SAFETY WITH THE NEAR 300 UNITS AND THEIR GUESTS WORTH OF BARS ALL COMING AND GOING FROM FIRST STREET, YOU CAN ALREADY BE DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS PULLING IN AND OUT OF OUR HOMES DRIVEWAY AS WELL AS FOR THOSE PULLING OUT FROM NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS LIKE MYRA STREET. 
          FOR EXAMPLE, WE FREQUENTLY HAVE VEHICLES SPEEDING WAY OVER THE SPEED LIMIT UP AND DOWN THE HILL, AS WELL AS LARGE INDUSTRIAL VEHICLES AND VEHICLES WITH TRAILERS. 
          THERE WAS MENTION OF A PROPOSED 
          [03:05:01]
STOPLIGHT AT FIRST IN THE UNITED KINGDOM, BUT WE'RE NOT CONVINCED THIS WILL INCREASE OURS OR OUR NEIGHBOR SAFETY. 
          WE, AS WE ONLY SAW LIMITED DENNY REGARDING THE NUMBER OF TRIPS PROJECTED AT THE DEVELOPMENT AND NOTHING REGARDING SAFETY FOR OUR HOMES ON FIRST AND VEHICLES TURNING ON TO FIRST FROM NEIGHBORHOODS, WE WANT TO ENSURE OUR, THAT OUR NEIGHBORS SAFETY WOULD NOT BE NEGATIVELY IMPACTED. 
          AND WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE HUGE IMPROVEMENTS TO OTHER FORMS OF TRAVEL THAT ARE NOT CAR CENTRIC, SUCH AS PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE INFRASTRUCTURE. 
          THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. 
          HI, GOOD AFTERNOON. 
          UM, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS. 
          MY NAME IS  AND I WROTE THE STATEMENT, DOWEL HOUSING PARTNERS, THE DEVELOPER FOR ITEM NUMBER 81 OF THE AGENDA UNDER SOME CREEK AFFORDABLE HOUSING. 
          WE ARE PROPOSING, UM, REZONING, A FUNDING CHANGE FOR THE SIZE TWO G R N D, WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH THE PROPERTIES IN THE AREA. 
          AND IT IS RECOMMENDED BY YOUR STAFF FOR APPROVAL. 
          YOU HAVE REPORTING OF DEVELOPMENT THAT IS A HUNDRED PERCENT AFFORDABLE. 
          THE AVERAGE RENT AND INCOME RESTRICTIONS ARE, WILL BE, UH, OR BELOW 60%. 
          OH, THE AVERAGE MEDIAN INCOME. 
          FURTHERMORE, 5% OF THE UNITS, UH, WILL BE DEVOTED FOR THE CONTINUING OF CARE PROGRAM WITH ECHO AND THEN COMMUNITY HOMELESS COALITION. 
          UM, WE HAVE POSTPONE OUR STONING CASE IN A COUPLE OF LOCATION INITIALLY TO MEET WITH THE CORONADO HILLS CREEKSIDE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION AND TO HEAR THEIR CONCERNS ON LATER TO ALLOW TIME TO FIGURE IT OUT, A TRAIL PASS RESTRICTION ALONG THE CREEK, UH, LOCATED, UM, NEAR BY THE SITE THAT WAS PROPOSED BY SOME OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS. 
          WE UNDERSTAND THE NEIGHBORHOOD CONCERNS ABOUT WATER CREEK. 
          UM, WE WILL FOLLOW ALL THE REGULATIONS REGARDING WATER QUALITY, SEWN WATER TREATMENT ON THE STATIONS, DRAINAGE AND FLOP PLAYING. 
          WITHOUT THESE FOLLOWING THIS REGULATION, WE WON'T BE ABLE TO OBTAIN OUR BUILDING PERMIT. 
          I WOULD LIKE TO MENTION THE NEIGHBORHOOD DOES NOT HAVE THAT CREDIT PROJECT. 
          ALTHOUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION HAD EXPRESSED CONCERNS ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          THERE IS AN EXISTING MARKET RATE MISMANAGED DEVELOPMENT IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH A TAX CREDIT PROGRAM. 
          WE ARE PROPOSING THAT DEVELOPMENT WILL BE RESTRICTED OR REGULATED BY THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY AFFAIRS WITH ANIMAL FILE REVIEWS. 
          I'M SUE SICKLES IN PHYSICAL INSPECTIONS EVERY TWO YEARS DURING THE AFFORDABILITY PERIOD PERIOD FOR THE MORE, UM, THE, THE SIDE, OH, I'M SORRY. 
          UM, THEY, THEY WILL CHECK THAT THE RENT, UH, ARE FOR QUALIFIED HOUSEHOLD AND, UH, THAT ALL THE, THE RESTRICTIONS ARE IN PLACE. 
          UM, WE'VE REAL ESTATE PRICES IS SKY HIGH IN THE, IN THE ALLSTATE AREA. 
          OUR PROJECT WILL ADDRESS IT OR GENEVA OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR THE CITY. 
          WE APPRECIATE YOUR CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF OUR STONING CASE. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          KAREN WOLF. 
          GOOD AFTERNOON. 
          I AM KAREN WOLF REPRESENTING THE CHISHOLM LANE NEIGHBORHOOD AND SPEAKING IN OPPOSITION TO ITEM 84. 
          OUR OPPOSITION IS NOT TO DEVELOPMENT PER SE. 
          WE RECOGNIZE THIS PROPERTY WILL BE DEVELOPED. 
          OUR PROBLEM IS, IS THE ZONING CHANGE PROPOSED, WHICH IS THE VERTICAL AND ALLOWS FOR BUILDING UP TO A 60 FOOT TALL FIVE STORY BUILDING WHEN OTHER ADJACENT DEVELOPMENTS ARE SINGLE STORY OR TWO SINGLE OR TWO STORY SINGLE FAMILY OR MULTI-FAMILY AND COMMERCIAL DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM THE SH DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM THIS SITE IS A LOT OF PETITE DAYCARE CENTER. 
          AND THERE'S ANOTHER DAYCARE AND AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WITHIN HALF A MILE. 
          THERE IS NO TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT THE LA PETITE. 
          OUR NEIGHBORHOOD IS CONCERNED. 
          FIRST OF ALL, ABOUT SAFETY. 
          THIS AREA OF SLAUGHTER LANE IS DESIGNATED AS A HIGH CRASH ROADWAY, AND WON'T BE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN TRAFFIC. 
          THE THREE TO 500 UNITS PROPOSED ARE ALL DESIGNED AS ONE, TWO BEDROOM UNITS, ATTRACTING SINGLES AND COUPLES, NOT FAMILIES, ALL LIKELY TO TRAVEL IN CARS, CHISHOLM 
          [03:10:01]
LANE RESIDENTS, AND A LOT. 
          THE DAYCARE TRAFFIC CAN ONLY ENTER AN EXIT ONTO SLAUGHTER LANE AND ARE GOING TO HAVE GREAT DIFFICULTY DOING SO SAFELY. 
          WE WERE ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOODS, THE ENVIRONMENT. 
          WE THINK THIS DEVELOPMENT WILL HAVE A NEGATIVE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT, BOTH ON CIERA PARK AND SLAUGHTER CREEK DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF RUNOFF FROM CLEARING WOODS AND BUILDING SO CLOSE TO A CREEK. 
          BUFFER MORE DENSITY IS NOT APPROPRIATE TO THIS AREA. 
          THERE'S ALREADY CONSTRUCTION AT BILL BROOK AND FIRST ALL OF THESE DEVELOPMENTS ARE THREATENING FLORA AND FAUNA IN THIS AREA. 
          FINALLY, WE'RE CONCERNED ABOUT THE LACK OF INFRASTRUCTURE. 
          YOU'VE HEARD A LOT ABOUT THAT FROM THE FOLKS ON ITEM 71, JUST AROUND THE CORNER. 
          THERE IS INADEQUATE INFRASTRUCTURE TO ADD ALL THESE APARTMENTS WITHOUT ANY CHECKS AND BALANCES. 
          THERE WERE ONLY TWO LOCAL BUSES THAT RUN EAST AND WEST ON SLAUGHTER. 
          THE ONLY EXPRESS BUS RUNS OVER ON CONGRESS. 
          TWO MILES AWAY FROM THIS SITE. 
          FOLKS IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD ALREADY HAVE LOW WATER PRESSURE. 
          THE PEOPLE IN C VILLAGE HAVE NEVER EVEN BEEN ABLE TO USE THEIR IRRIGATION SYSTEMS AND CAN'T DO LAUNDRY AND SHOWER AT THE SAME TIME. 
          THE CLOSEST POLICE AND FIRE STATIONS ARE BOTH LOCATED EAST OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT TO ANSWER. 
          FIRST RESPONDERS ARE GOING TO HAVE TO TRAVEL WEST ON SLAUGHTER AND MAKE A U-TURN TO ENTER THE PROPERTY. 
          AS YOU HEARD DESCRIBED BY CHRIS BRON, WE ASK THAT YOU RECONSIDER THIS LEVEL OF ZONING TO A MORE APPROPRIATE ZONING IN CHARACTER WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD MOVING FORWARD AND APPROVING THE ZONING CHANGE WITHOUT A SITE PLAN, TRUST IMPACT ANALYSIS AND ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS MAKES NO SENSE AND HAS THE POTENTIAL TO DESTROY THIS AREA. 
          THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. 
          STEVEN SCHRADER. 
          MY NAME IS STEVEN SCHRADER. 
          I'M SPEAKING IN SUPPORTIVE THE REZONING APPLICATION FOR PROPERTY OWNED BY 3M COMPANY ON RESEARCH BOULEVARD, ITEM 6 66 ON THE AGENDA. 
          I'VE LIVED IN THE SUMMIT OAKS NEIGHBORHOOD LOCATED IMMEDIATELY TO THE WEST OF THE 3M PROPERTY FOR 36 YEARS. 
          AND NOW SERVE AS THE PRESIDENT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION. 
          WE ARE A SMALL NEIGHBORHOOD THAT IS OVER SIX YEARS OLD IS ACTUALLY THE OLDEST SUBDIVISION ALONG THE RESEARCH BOULEVARD CORRIDOR. 
          WESTERN MOPAC. 
          FIRST HOUSES WERE BUILT IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD IN THE EARLY 1960S BEFORE ANY OTHER COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL OR OFFICE DEVELOPMENT OCCURRED. 
          SINCE THE NEIGHBORHOOD WAS ESTABLISHED, WE HAVE SEEN COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION ON MOST OF THE SURROUNDING. 
          WE HAVE FOUND THAT THE ZONING RESTRICTIONS ON BUILDING HEIGHT AND BUILDING SETBACK ARE IMPORTANT FACTORS IN MINIMIZING IMPACTS TO OUR PROPERTY. 
          BLACK LIGHTS, HAVING RESIDENTIAL BUFFER ZONES THAT ARE UNDISTURBED HAS PROVIDED EFFECTIVE SHIELDING FROM THE SURROUNDING OFFICE BUILDINGS. 
          AND THE THREE OF TRAP WAS ANNEXED BY THE CITY BLOCKS. 
          AND IN 1976, ZONING OF INNER OF AA WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1980. 
          THE TRUCK WAS REZONED TO O OFFICE AS PART OF THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE AREA. 
          THEN HE OWES ZONING WAS CHANGED TO ELLA LIMITED OFFICE. 
          THE NEXT CATEGORY WAS ADDED TO DESIGNATE DEVELOPMENT, PREDOMINANTLY SERVING NEIGHBORHOOD OR COMMUNITY NEEDS IN 1989. 
          THE OWNERS OF THE SUBJECT TRACK PROPOSED A REZONING OF PROPERTY FROM ALOE TO LLI LIMITED INDUSTRIAL THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE PROPERTY OWNER AGREED AT THAT TIME TO THE CURRENT LA ZONING, THAT INCLUDED RESTRICTIONS AND CONDITIONAL OVERLAY COMBINING DISTRICT. 
          IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE AGREEMENT AT THAT TIME PROVIDED THE PROPERTY OWNERS SIGNIFICANT INCREASES IN ALLOWABLE AND PERVIOUS COVER BUILDING COVER IN FLORIDA. 
          THE APPLICANT IS NOW REQUESTED THAT THE EXISTING HEIGHT RESTRICTION OF 40 FEET BE REMOVED FROM THE CONDITIONAL OVERLAY. 
          SEVENOAKS NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION AGREED TO SUPPORT THIS REQUEST IN EXCHANGE FOR SEVERAL CONSIDERATIONS, INCLUDING THE COMMITMENT TO MAINTAIN A 50 FOOT UNDISTURBED, RESIDENTIAL BUFFER ZONE BETWEEN THE DEVELOPMENT AND THE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY LINES. 
          WE ALSO SUPPORT THE REQUEST TO REMOVE OTHER RESTRICTIONS IN THE CURRENT ZONING RELATED TO TRAFFIC VOLUME AND BUILDING PERMIT ISSUANCE. 
          SO REMOVER, HOWEVER, WE REQUEST THAT ALL RESTRICTIONS ON USES LIFTED IN THE EXISTING CEO BE RETAINED. 
          AND WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE APPLICANT AGREES WITH THIS AS WELL. 
          IN SUMMARY, WE RECOGNIZE THE NEED FOR MORE OFFICE SPACE IN NORTHWEST AUSTIN, AND WE CONSIDER OFFICE DEVELOPMENT TO BE THE PREFERRED USE OF PROPERTIES ADJACENT TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          WE APPRECIATE THE EFFORTS OF THE DEVELOPERS REPRESENTATIVES TO HELP MITIGATE THE IMPACT ON ADJACENT HOUSING. 
          THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. 
          MY NAME IS JASON ATTAWAY AND I WORKED FOR DEVELOPER MCDOWELL HOUSING PARTNERS, MHP 
          [03:15:01]
I'M SPEAKING ON ITEM NUMBER 81 DOZEN PARTNERS IS AN AFFORDABLE WORKFORCE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT ARM, OR MCDONALD PROPERTIES, A NATIONAL MULTIFAMILY HOUSING INVESTMENT COMPANY, HEADQUARTERED IN EDISON, ADDISON, TEXAS. 
          OUR MISSION IS TO CREATE AND PRESERVE HIGH QUALITY AFFORDABLE HOUSING COMMUNITIES THAT PROVIDE AMERICA'S WORKFORCE IN SENIORS WITH SAFE AND SUSTAINABLE PLACE TO CALL HOME. 
          I'M SPEAKING IN SUPPORT OF THIS DEVELOPMENT THAT WILL SERVE THE MOST DISADVANTAGED POPULATIONS IN THE CITY OF AUSTIN. 
          I WANTED TO POINT OUT INSIGHT, A RECENT REPORT PUBLISHED ON MAY 13TH, 2021, BUT AUSTIN COMMUNITY FOUNDATION THAT OUTLINED THE DESPERATE NEED FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN THE CITY OF AUSTIN. 
          AND I'LL KEEP THIS SHORT, THE PURPOSE OF THE PORT WAS TO PROVIDE CONTEXT INCREASED UNDERSTANDING OF HOUSING RELATED ISSUES AND PROVIDE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING ISSUE WAS THAT SUCKS. 
          IT'S SUCH CRISIS THAT MIKE NELLIS CEO OF THE AUSTIN COMMUNITY FOUNDATION STATED THAT IN QUOTE, THE LACK OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING, INCREASING RATES OF UNSHELTERED, HOMELESS PETS IN THE AUSTIN AREA THREATENED THE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC VITALITY OF OUR REGION. 
          WE HAD MCDOWELL HOUSING PARTNERS REQUESTING THE SUPPORT OF AND PASSING OF ITEM NUMBER 81. 
          JOSEPH, THANK YOU, MAYOR COUNCIL MEMBERS I'M AS, AND I'LL BE A JOSEPH MAYOR. 
          CAN YOU JUST TELL ME ITEM 69? IS IT BEING FALSE FOLLOWING? NO. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          I HAVE COMMENTS ABOUT 69 AND 85 AS IT RELATES TO 85. 
          THAT'S THE LUBY'S REDEVELOPMENT. 
          MY SPECIFIC COMMENT IS RELATED TO THE RESTRICTIVE COVENANT I'M ON PAGE 82 OF THE STAFF REPORT SPECIFICALLY TO SEE, WHICH IS AFFORDABLE HOUSING. 
          10% OF THE UNITS WOULD BE AT 80% MEDIAN FAMILY INCOME FOR 40 YEARS. 
          THAT'S ABOUT 28 UNITS OUT OF THE 275 BEING PROPOSED. 
          MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS IS EXCLUSIONARY DISCRIMINATORY, UH, COVENANT, AS IT RELATES TO THE INCOME LEVELS OF AFRICAN-AMERICANS AND HISPANICS, AS YOU MAY BE AWARE IN 2020, YOUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT REPORT, SPECIFY THAT HISPANICS GOT ABOUT $50,000 IN AFRICAN-AMERICANS EARN ABOUT $42,000, 80% AREA MEDIAN INCOME OR MEDIAN FAMILY INCOME IS APPROXIMATELY $55,000. 
          A TEACHER IN AISD STARTS AT $50,000. 
          SO THESE ARE BEING MADE. 
          UNITS ARE BEING SET ASIDE FOR WEALTHY WHITES. 
          AND I JUST WANT YOU TO KEEP IN MIND THE FAIR HOUSING ACT OF 1968, AND THIS IS NOT AFFIRMATIVELY FURTHER FAIR HOUSING. 
          I WOULD ALSO CALL TO YOUR ATTENTION, THE HOUSING VULTURES, AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, SPECIFICALLY IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER RELATES TO THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT PERMITS, USE OF VOUCHERS TO FACILITATE HOUSEHOLD MOVE TO NEIGHBORHOODS WITH HIGH LEVELS OF ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY. 
          I WENT BACK AND I LISTENED TO THE AUGUST 17TH, 2021 ZONING AND PLANNING COMMISSION. 
          AND MR. WHALEN TRIED TO SAY THAT BECAUSE THE INCOME WOULD BE AT HALF OF WHAT PEOPLE EARN IN THE AREA THAT JUSTIFIES IT. 
          I WOULD ALSO CALL TO YOUR ATTENTION AS IT RELATES TO FIVE IN 69 THAT'S 5,708 SPRINGDALE ROAD. 
          I JUST WANTED TO SPEAK TO A 292 UNITS OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING THAT WAS MENTIONED BY THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION. 
          I JUST WANTED THEM TO KNOW THAT DAVID NO OF COMPANIES ON NOVEMBER 1ST, 2017 ACTUALLY TRIED TO GET CAPITAL METRO KEY, ROUTE 300 AT THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS. 
          AND HE TOLD THEM IF THEY MOVED THE BUS STOP, THAT WOULD KILL ME SHOES DEVELOPMENT. 
          SO I JUST WANTED THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO KNOW THAT THE DEVELOPER TESTIFIED TWICE ON NOVEMBER 1ST, 2017 HAD THE CONNECTIONS 20, 25 HEARING HIM SO SORRY, BUT I DO WANT YOU TO RECOGNIZE THAT WHEN YOU PASS THE EQUITY CLIMATE PLANS, UM, ON THE 29TH OF SEPTEMBER, YOU BASICALLY TALKED ABOUT EQUITY BEING THE FRAMEWORK FOR THE WORK THAT YOU DO. 
          AND IF THAT IS IN FACT, THE CASE, I WOULD HAVE ALISON ALTER A COUNCIL MEMBER TO SPEAK TO THE 80% AREA MEDIAN INCOME AND HOW IT ACTUALLY IS EXCLUSIONARY AND SEGREGATES AUSTIN. 
          AND SO I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF SHE WOULD DO THAT. 
          AND WHAT ASK YOU TO KEEP IN MIND TITLE SIX OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964, WHICH PROHIBITS DISCRIMINATION BASED ON RACE, COLOR, OR NATIONAL ORIGIN IN ANY PROGRAM RECEIVING FEDERAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, 80% AREA, MEDIAN INCOME 
          [03:20:02]
INDIVIDUALS AFRICAN-AMERICANS AND HISPANICS WHO ARE COVERED BY TITLE SIX. 
          IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'LL GO TO ANSWER THEM AT THIS TIME. 
          THANK YOU, CAITLIN RYAN. 
          HI, I'M SPEAKING TO, UM, ITEM 68 AND 69 I'M AGAINST, UM, I STRONGLY OPPOSE AN MS. THREE DESIGNATION DUE TO UNSAFE CURRICULAR, REGULAR TRAFFIC PATTERNS. 
          I WANT TO REITERATE TO THE COUNCIL THAT THAT NO ONE CAN TURN LEFT ONTO LAMAR FROM STOVALL WHERE THIS DEVELOPMENT IS. 
          IT'S A FOREST, RIGHT? TURN MEETING, DOZENS AND DOZENS OF PEOPLE EVERY MORNING, EVERY AFTERNOON, EVERY NIGHT I WORK FROM HOME. 
          SO I SEE THIS ARE SPEEDING WESTBOUND ON STOBO TO ACCESS MOPAC 180 3 I 35 AND ANDERSON IT'S UNSAFE FOR RESIDENTS AND PEDESTRIANS AS IT IS MUCH LESS WITH 16 OR MORE UNITS WHO I'M WILLING TO BET MY WAGE ON WE'LL ALL BE CAR DRIVERS AND THEY WILL NOT BE USING PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION. 
          WE HAVE NO SIDEWALKS. 
          WE HAVE NO FOUR WAY STOP AT THIS DANGEROUS INTERSECTION OF WATSON AND STOPA, WHICH IS ON THE WEST END OF THE BLOCK OF THIS PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT WITH THE RECENT OPENING OF AN EMERGENCY GATE ON EASING, WHEN TO DRIVE, I'VE ALREADY SEEN AN INFLUX OF TRAFFIC SPEEDING NORTH ON WATSON THROUGH THIS INTERSECTION WITHOUT A STOP TO ACT AS ANDERSON. 
          SO PEOPLE ARE USING THIS NEIGHBORHOOD AS AN ACCESS ROAD. 
          THEY'RE PUTTING US AND THEMSELVES IN DANGER. 
          LET ME NOT FORGET TO MENTION THE INFLUX OF CHILDREN THAT PLAY ON OPTIMIST FIELD NEARLY EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK. 
          THAT IS ON THE SOUTH END OF WATSON. 
          THE YEARS OF CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC WITH LARGE TRACTORS AND TRUCKS WILL ALSO BE USING THIS ROUTE. 
          IT'S NOT RESPECTED AS AN ACTUAL NEIGHBORHOOD STREET. 
          THE CONTINUAL DECISIONS OF THIS DEVELOPER TO FURTHER DILUTE OUR QUALITY OF LIFE, AS WELL AS THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF THE FUTURE. 
          TENANTS REALLY CONCERNS ME LIKE OTHERS HAVE SAID, I UNDERSTAND THE NEED FOR DENSITY, WHICH IS WHY I BOUGHT A SMALL HOUSE ON A SINGLE LOT THAT ACCOMMODATES FOUR DWELLINGS, BUT AFTER MORE IS KIND OF ABSURD AND PUTS US IN DANGER IN THE MIDDLE OF AN UNINTENDED ACCESS ROAD TO ALL MAJOR HIGHWAYS. 
          YOU KNOW, I'M CONCERNED THAT THIS IS A PLAY FOR MONEY RATHER THAN BEING ASSAULTED FOR AUSTIN AND STARTED TO SOLVE FOR AN INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO. 
          AND LET ME ALSO RECOGNIZE THAT I RESPECT AND WELCOMED DIVERSITY INCLUSIVITY IN A WIDE ARRAY OF SINGLE DWELLERS TO FAMILY, TO MULTI-GENERATION THE VARIOUS BACKGROUNDS AND HERITAGES IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD WITH VISITS, AN UNSAFE STANDARD OF LIVING ON OUR NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS. 
          THAT'S THE LIFE SOURCE FOR OUR HEALTH AND WELLBEING AND COMMUNITY. 
          AND WE ARE CONTINUING TO BE PUT IN DANGER WITHOUT ANY MEASURES BEING TAKEN TO KEEP US SAFE. 
          MAYOR THAT CONCLUDES ALL OF THE SPEAKERS. 
          GREAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ARE YOU WANT TO TAKE US THROUGH THE CONSENT AGENDA? I WILL SAY THIS SONG.

          IT'S A RESTRICTIVE COVENANT, WHICH ONLY REQUIRES SOMEONE READING. 
          OKAY. 
          SO ON THE CONSENT AGENDA, ITEM 54 THROUGH 89, ALL OF THOSE ITEMS ARE ON CONSENT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF 71. 
          IS THAT CORRECT? THAT IS, THAT IS CORRECT. 
          OKAY. 
          ARE THERE ANY COMMENTS ON THE CONSENT AGENDA, COUNCIL MEMBER KITCHEN? UH, LET ME START WITH, UM, ITEM NUMBER 70. 
          THIS IS, UM, THE ITEM ON TALC LAMAR. 
          YOU HEARD LAUREN ATHERTON SPEAK, UH, FOR HER NEIGHBORHOOD ON THAT ONE. 
          I WANT TO QUOTE SOMETHING THAT SHE SAID, SHE SAID WE SHOULDN'T GIVE AWAY VMU, WHICH IS ONE OF OUR, UM, ESTABLISHED, UM, PROGRAMS FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING. 
          SHE SAID WE SHOULDN'T, DON'T GIVE THAT AWAY WITHOUT GETTING REAL AFFORDABILITY. 
          SO I AM, UH, PROCEEDING WITH FIRST READING WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE, UH, TO WORK WITH, UM, STAFF, TO FIND A ROUTE TO ENSURE, UM, AFFORDABILITY IS ENFORCEABLE, AND WE CAN BE CERTAIN THAT WE ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO GET IT, UM, ON THIS TRACK. 
          UH, I THINK THAT THE, UM, APPLICANTS ARE ACTING IN GOOD FAITH, BUT WE HAVE TO THINK INTO THE FUTURE TO BE, TO ENSURE THAT WE GET AFFORDABLE HOUSING. 
          THE FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEM HERE IS THAT THIS CURRENTLY IS, HAS V ZONING ON IT, AS YOU HEARD FROM LORRAINE, HER NEIGHBORHOOD WORKED, UM, TO GET THAT VISA ZONING ESTABLISHED, AND THAT'S ONE OF OUR AFFORDABLE HOUSING BONUS PROGRAM. 
          SO IT'S CURRENTLY ZONED PERVY AND THE APPLICANT IS ASKING US TO TAKE THE V OFF, UH, TO GO TO MF SIX, UM, AND IN, UH, UH, WITHOUT HAVING, BECAUSE OF THERE ARE JUST DIFFICULTIES IN ENSURING, UH, ENFORCEABILITY ONCE WE TAKE OFF THE VISA ZONING. 
          SO, UM, I DON'T WANT TO LOSE THAT AFFORDABLE HOUSING DESIGNATION WITHOUT ESTABLISHING A COMPARABLE SURETY THROUGH ANOTHER AVENUE. 
          SO I THINK, UH, MOVING IT FORWARD ON FIRST READING THIS TIME WILL GIVE US ADDITIONAL TIME, UH, TO CONTINUE TO EXPLORE WITH LAW WHAT AVENUES WE HAVE FOR 
          [03:35:01]
ACHIEVING THAT CERTAINTY. 
          UM, AND ALSO TOO, FOR THE DEVELOPER TO CONTINUE THEIR DISCUSSIONS WITH HAKA TO CONSIDER WHAT OPTIONS THERE MAY BE, UH, TO WORK WITH, UM, AN AFFORDABLE HOUSING, UH, ENTITY. 
          SO, UM, I WANT TO, UH, I WANT TO LET MY COLLEAGUES KNOW IF THOSE, UM, AVENUES ARE NOT SUCCESSFUL. 
          I WILL LIKELY BE OPPOSING LOSING VI IF WE CAN'T ADDRESS, UM, AND FIND AN AVENUE BEFORE SECOND READING. 
          UM, I APPRECIATE THE EFFORTS OF THE DEVELOPERS AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND EVERYONE INVOLVED TO TRY TO FIND A SOLUTION. 
          UM, AND, UM, I THINK THAT WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT, UM, SECOND AND THIRD READING, NOT, NOT COMING BACK TO US FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS, UH, SO THAT THERE'S TIME TO WORK THROUGH THESE ISSUES. 
          SO, UM, THERE'S A LOT MORE COMPLEXITY TO THIS, BUT JUST TO KEEP IT SUCCINCT, UH, THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT AT, AT THE MOMENT. 
          AND THAT'S WHERE, UH, THAT'S MY POSITION ON IT AT THIS POINT. 
          OKAY. 
          ANY FURTHER COMMENTS ON ANY OF THE OTHER ITEMS? UH, YEAH. 
          I WANTED TO SEE IF COUNCIL MEMBER TOVA WANTED TO COME IN ON THIS ONE PERSON. 
          YEAH. 
          THANK YOU. 
          I AGREE. 
          I REALLY JUST WANT TO, UM, UNDERSCORE WHAT COUNCIL MEMBER KITCHEN SAID. 
          BMU IS ONE OF OUR, OUR MOST SUCCESSFUL DENSITY BONUS PROGRAMS IN TERMS OF CREATING UNITS, BECAUSE IT REQUIRES THAT THEY BE ON SITE. 
          AND SO IT, IT GIVES ME PAUSE WHEN I SEE A CASE THAT'S SUGGESTING REMOVING IT. 
          AND SO THANK YOU TO THE APPLICANT AS COUNCIL MEMBER KITCHEN SAID, THANK YOU TO THE APPLICANT AND THE NEIGHBORS FOR TRYING TO LOOK AT DIFFERENT SOLUTIONS. 
          I HOPE THAT I HOPE THAT WHEN IT COMES BACK ON SECOND, WE DO HAVE, WE DO HAVE THAT SURETY, THAT COUNCIL MEMBER KITCHEN SPOKE TO, AND I KNOW COUNCIL MEMBER KITCHEN, YOU'VE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO TALK WITH LAW AND WE'VE BEEN BRAINSTORMING ON DIFFERENT IDEAS. 
          AND I HOPE SOME OF THOSE COME THROUGH. 
          I ALSO THINK THIS IS REALLY AN IMPORTANT VMU BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, NEIGHBORHOODS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO OPT INTO 80% MFI OR 60% MFI. 
          AND THESE ARE 60% MFI UNITS THAT WOULD BE CREATED UNDER VERTICAL MIXED USE. 
          AND SO, YOU KNOW, TO ME, THAT IS, IS AN ADDITIONAL REASON TO REALLY WORK HARD, TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE GETTING THAT WE'RE RETAINING, UH, RETAINING THOSE UNITS THAT WE WOULD HAVE GOTTEN IF THE SITE IS DEVELOPED UNDER BMU AND GETTING MORE THAN, THAN WOULD OTHERWISE BE DEVELOPED THERE. 
          SO CONTINUED, I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING THE CONTINUED, THE RESULT OF THIS CONTINUED WORK. 
          I WANTED TO TALK BRIEFLY ON ITEM 61. 
          I KNOW MS. BROOKS, YOU'D PASSED OUT SOME INFORMATION TO US, AND I HEARD YOU LOUD AND CLEAR WITH SOME OF YOUR, WHAT YOUR CONCERNS WERE IN THE AREA. 
          SO THAT, YOU KNOW, I, I LIVED FOR A WHILE AT 6,800 MCNEIL DRIVE. 
          AND SO I'M VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE AREA. 
          MY DAUGHTER, SINCE SHE WAS TWO YEARS OLD, WENT TO THE STEPPING STONE THERE ON MCNEIL, ACROSS FROM WHERE RESEARCH PARK IS WRITTEN MY BIKE THROUGH THAT AREA. 
          UM, IT'S CURRENTLY ZONED AS, UM, INDUSTRIAL. 
          AND MY UNDERSTANDING IS THEY'RE ADDING THE MULTIFAMILY LOT OR MULTIFAMILY UNITS ON LOT 11. 
          THE SITE PLAN SHOULD TAKE CARE OF MOST OF THE CONCERNS THAT YOU HAVE, BUT I DO WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT AS IT IS BEING DEVELOPED, I WANT TO WORK WITH YOU AND YOUR NEIGHBORS TO MAKE SURE THAT ANY OF YOUR CONCERNS ARE TAKEN CARE OF, OR THAT YOU HAVE A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT'S GOING ON OVER THERE. 
          I REALLY DO LOOK FORWARD TO THE DEVELOPMENT THERE HAVING BEEN IN THAT AREA FOR AS LONG AS I HAVE. 
          AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOUR QUALITY OF LIFE ISN'T IMPACTED BY WHAT HAPPENS THERE. 
          SO PLEASE REACH OUT TO MY OFFICE SO WE CAN HAVE ONGOING DIALOGUE DURING THAT DISCUSSION. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          BECAUSE WE WERE ALTAR. 
          THANK YOU. 
          I WANTED TO SPEAK BRIEFLY ABOUT ITEM 85. 
          UM, I WANT TO NOTE THAT THIS IS A CASE THAT'S BRINGING MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT TO DISTRICT 10. 
          IT WILL CONTRIBUTE TOWARDS OUR AFFORDABLE HOUSING GOALS, OUR PARKLAND NEEDS, AND WE'LL PAY THE APPROPRIATE TRANSPORTATION IMPACT FEES. 
          THE PROJECT APPEARS TO PENCIL OUT WHILE PAYING THE PARKLAND FEES THAT WE ADOPTED IN THE MANAGER'S PROPOSED BUDGET JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO. 
          I DO WANT TO NOTE THAT QUESTIONS WERE RAISED ABOUT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS, BUT IF YOU REVIEW THE Q AND A REPORT THAT OUR STAFF JUST RESPONDED TO, UH, WITH RESPECT TO MY QUESTIONS, OR THEY JUST POSTED IT, UM, I BELIEVE THOSE CONCERNS WERE APPROPRIATELY ADDRESSED. 
          I KNOW THE APPLICANT HAS BEEN WORKING TO RESPOND TO NEIGHBORS WHO HAVE MET WITH THEM ABOUT NEEDS. 
          AND I LOOK FORWARD TO THOSE CONVERSATIONS ALONGSIDE OUR PROFESSIONAL STAFF, BEING FRUITFUL AT THE TIME OF SITE PLAN. 
          IT'S. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU GUYS. 
          REMEMBER THIS, YOU HAD, UH, UH, CIRCULATED, UH, ADDITIONAL DIRECTION ON 71. 
          IS THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU WANTED TO, IT'S NOT ON CONSENT, BUT I CAN, DO YOU WANT ME TO, OKAY. 
          THAT'S RIGHT. 
          I'M SORRY. 
          I GOT TO OUR KITCHEN. 
          [03:40:01]
THANK YOU. 
          I'D LIKE TO SPEAK ON, UH, CONSENT, UH, TO ITEM NUMBER 73, WHICH IS THE FOX HOLLOW MULTIFAMILY, WHICH IS ALSO, UM, THE, THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT ON, UH, BRANT ROAD. 
          SO THIS IS, UH, GOING ON CONSENT ON FIRST READING ONLY, UH, YOU ALL HEARD FROM THE, UH, NEIGHBORS WHO, UM, RAISED A NUMBER OF QUESTIONS. 
          SO I WANT TO SPEAK TO THEM THAT THIS IS GOING ON CONSENT ON FIRST READING WILL ALLOW US TIME TO, UM, ADDRESS THE CONCERNS THAT WERE RAISED. 
          UH, FIRST WITH REGARD TO TRAFFIC, BRANT ROAD IS A, UM, SUBSTANDARD ROAD. 
          AND SO WE ARE WORKING WITH, UM, PUBLIC WORKS AND ATD ON THE OPTIONS, THE TIMELINE AND THE COST FOR A SIDEWALK OR SHARED USE PATH, UH, THAT WOULD GO FROM THIS AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT TO SLAUGHTER LANE TO GIVE PEOPLE ACCESS TO, UM, TO THE TRANSIT STOP AND BUS. 
          SO WE'RE, THAT'S IN PROCESS AND WE EXPECT, BY THE TIME WE GET TO SECOND READING, WE WILL BE ABLE TO ADDRESS THAT IF THAT IS A PRIMARY CONCERN TO ME IN BEING ABLE TO AFFORD THIS, WE HAVE TO FIND SOLUTION TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WILL HAVE SIDEWALKS. 
          SECOND THING IS THERE WAS A QUESTION RAISED ABOUT PARKLAND AND JUST WANTED TO PUT ON THE RECORD THAT THE DEVELOPERS WORKING WITH PARD TO DONATE, UM, AROUND, UH, 18 ACRES OF UNDEVELOPED LAND, UM, TO, UH, OUR PARKS DEPARTMENT, UM, AND, UM, AND PERHAPS CONTRIBUTING ALSO TO THE GREEN BELT AND TRAIL IN THAT AREA. 
          AND THEN THE LAST ITEM THAT WAS RAISED WAS FLOODING. 
          AND JUST WANT TO PUT ON THE RECORD THAT WE HAVE BEEN CONSULTING WITH WATERSHED, UM, AND THEY HAVE STATED THAT THERE WILL BE NO ADDITIONAL RUNOFF TO AFFECT A DOWNSTREAM, UH, BECAUSE THE DEVELOPER WILL BE REQUIRED TO PUT MITIGATION IN PLACE. 
          UM, AND ALSO THERE WAS SOME CONFUSION FOR A WHILE ABOUT THE FLOOD PLAIN. 
          UH, THIS DEVELOPMENT WILL NOT BE IN THE FLOOD PLAIN. 
          IT IS NOT ALLOWED TO BE IN THE FLOOD PLAIN AS AN AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNIT. 
          UM, IT, IT, UH, HOUSING DEVELOPMENT IS NOT ALLOWED IN THE FLOODPLAIN AND OUR REGULATIONS DO NOT ALLOW THAT, SO IT WILL NOT BE IN THE FLOOD PLAIN. 
          SO THOSE ARE THE COMMENTS I WANTED TO MAKE ON, UM, NUMBER 73, RIGHT? THE CONSENT AGENDA FOR ZONING IS ITEMS 54. 
          I'M SORRY. 
          I'M SORRY. 
          I HAVE ONE MORE ITEM. 
          DO YOU WANT ME TO SPEAK TO THAT NOW? OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          THAT'S ITEM NUMBER 84, WHICH IS ALSO, UM, ON CONSENT FOR FIRST READING ONLY, UH, BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND READING. 
          MY OFFICE IS WORKING WITH THE NEIGHBORS TO ARRANGE A CONVERSATION, UH, WITH OUR, UH, UH, TRAFFIC ENGINEERS IN ATD, TO ADDRESS THE CONCERNS THAT YOU ALL HEARD THEM RAISE ABOUT SLAUGHTER. 
          A NUMBER OF THEM ARE LIVING OFF OF, UH, ROADS THAT HAVE SOME, UH, SOME, UH, ISSUES GETTING OUT ONTO SLAUGHTER. 
          SO WE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT THAT, AND THIS WILL ALLOW US TIME TO DEAL WITH THOSE ISSUES. 
          GREAT. 
          THE CONSENT AGENDA AND ZONING IS ITEMS 54 THROUGH 86, AND ALSO ITEM 89, EXCEPT FOR ITEM 71, WHICH IS BEING PULLED. 
          IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA? COUNCIL MEMBER RENTERIA MAKES THE MOTION SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER, UH, UH, ALICE, UH, ANY DISCUSSION ON THE CONSENT AGENDA, TAKE A, VOTE THOSE IN FAVOR, PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND. 
          THAT WAS OPPOSED. 
          I SEE IT AS BEING ANONYMOUS ON THE, ON THE, ON THE DAY. 
          S THAT GETS

          THAT'S LITERALLY THE MOST ROBUST BUFFERING THAT I'VE SEEN IN ANY ZONING CASE I'VE EVER HANDLED IN MY CAREER. 
          WE'VE GOT VOLUNTARY, 10% AFFORDABLE HOUSING BY RESTRICTIVE COVENANT WITH HABITAT. 
          WE'VE MET A DOZEN TIMES OR SO WITH THE NEIGHBORS WITH MULTIPLE DEPARTMENTS, STAFF, AS WELL AS COUNCIL MEMBER POINT HAS BEEN ACTIVELY INVOLVED. 
          WE APPRECIATE OUR INPUT, ZAP APPROVED THE ZONING AND, UH, MAY OF LAST YEAR IT'S ON THE ACTIVITY CORRIDOR, UM, IMAGINATION CORRIDOR WITHIN A HALF A MILE OF SOUTH PARK MEADOWS CENTER. 
          AGAIN HAS THE, UH, HIGH FREQUENCY BUS STOP RIGHT ON THE PROPERTY. 
          IT'S AT THE INTERSECTION OF TWO TPN STREETS. 
          IT'S LESS THAN A HALF MILE FROM THE PROPOSED SLAUGHTER STATION, UM, PER PROJECT CONNECT. 
          AGAIN, THIS IS OUR, UH, DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS COMPARISON. 
          THE MET LIGHT IS ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE, UH, EMF FOUR AUTHORIZES 60 FEET. 
          WE RATCHETED THAT DOWN TO 50, WHICH IS SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN EXISTING. 
          OBVIOUSLY OUR MEN, OUR SETBACKS ARE ENHANCED COMPARED TO CURRENT ZONING IS 25. 
          AND THEN UNDER CURRENT ZONING YOU'D HAVE 0%, ZERO AFFORDABLE UNITS. 
          WE'RE PROPOSING 10% A NOTE. 
          WE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE ARE NEIGHBORS THAT ARE OPPOSED TO EVEN THE ZAP RECOMMENDATIONS, RECOMMENDATION TO 45 FEET BUFFERING. 
          BUT, UM, WE ACTUALLY HAD AN ITERATION THAT WAS 75 FEET, UH, BUFFERED AND NEIGHBORS REJECTED THAT ALTERNATIVE AS WELL. 
          OUR FIRST INITIAL SITE PLAN BASICALLY REFLECTED COMPATIBILITY. 
          SO 25 FOOT SETBACK ON THE NORTH AND EAST, UH, STEPPING BACK TO 42 STORIES, STEPPING BACK TO FOUR STORIES, NEIGHBORS ASKED FOR FURTHER BUFF BUFFERING. 
          SO WE WENT BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD AND CAME BACK, SHIFTED THE BUILDINGS FURTHER BACK 45 FEET AND ENHANCED BUFFERING NORTH EAST AND WEST PROPERTY LINE. 
          WE ALSO SHIFTED THE FOUR-STORY STRUCTURES TO THE CENTER OF THE PROJECT, ROUGHLY 180 FEET AWAY FROM ANY ADJACENT, UH, NEIGHBORS TO THE NORTH AND EAST. 
          THE TOP CROSS-SECTION IS CURRENT CODE COMPATIBILITY. 
          THE BOTTOM IS WHAT ZAP APPROVED. 
          SO SHIFTING THE ENHANCED BUFFERING 45 FEET, WE ALSO HAVE THE 16 FOUR FEET CALL, UH, TALL TREES AND ALSO THE NINE FOOT TALL PERIMETER SENTENCE THAT WOULD OBSCURE THE, THE VISUAL, UM, APPEARANCE OF THOSE BUILDINGS. 
          THIS JUST ADDS THE TOP, ADDS THE FORCE STRUCTURE AGAIN, UH, ROUGHLY TWO THIRDS OF A FOOTBALL FIELD LENGTH AWAY. 
          AND THE BOTTOM SHOWS THE SOUTH FIRST STREET STRUCTURES ARE BASICALLY 105 FEET AWAY FROM ONE ANOTHER. 
          THESE ARE ALL THE, YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT A COUPLE OF DOZEN, UH, DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS. 
          WE'VE, WE'VE CRAFTED WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          ALL OF THESE HAVE BEEN TALKED ABOUT WE'RE ALSO ELIMINATING CONSTRUCTION HOURS, 7:00 AM TO 7:00 PM, UH, RECREATION CONNECTIVITY WITH NEIGHBORS, BENCHES, PICNIC TABLES, ET CETERA, AVAILABLE TO THE NEIGHBORS. 
          UM, THIS, UH, MF FOUR LIGHT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE PRODUCT. 
          APPROXIMATE APARTMENT PROJECTS IN GREEN ARE ALL THE PROJECTS 
          [03:50:01]
ARE APPROVED THAT ARE FOR STORES AND TALLER APPROVES IN LAST 10 YEARS OR SO. 
          SO WE'RE CERTAINLY THE LAST, THE LAST THREE PROJECTS WERE APPROVED IN THE LAST YEAR, UM, RANGING FROM 93 TO 34, UH, UNITS PER ACRE. 
          SO WE'RE CERTAINLY RIGHT IN LINE WITH OUR 30 INSPIR ANCHOR, ALL ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THERE ARE THE ONES IN WA AND YELLOW ARE MF TWO. 
          THEY WERE REZONED TWO DECADES AGO. 
          I REZONE TWO OF THEM 15 YEARS AGO. 
          SO AGAIN, THESE ARE ALL THE REASONS TO SUPPORT. 
          AND WE'D ASK FOR YOU TO APPROVE ZAP RECOMMENDATION. 
          AGAIN, IT'S PROVIDES A MUCH NEEDED HOUSING ON AN IMAGINED AUSTIN CORRIDOR, NEAR PROJECT CONNECTS OR FUTURE STRAIGHT STATIONS. 
          AND THERE'S NO DISPLACEMENT FOR THIS PROPERTY. 
          AND WE'RE PROVIDING A VERY IMPORTANT AFFORDABLE HOUSING, UH, 10% OF THE 80% MFI WE'RE AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          I FIRST WANT TO THANK THE SPEAKERS THAT WE HAD TODAY. 
          THANK YOU TO MY NEIGHBORS, ROBYN, BARBARA, DOREEN, EMILY, AND MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE TAKEN TIME OUT OF THEIR DAY TO BE HERE AND TO CALL IN. 
          I THINK WE HAD ONE NEIGHBOR SAY THAT THEY SPENT MORE THAN A HUNDRED HOURS WORKING ON THIS CASE. 
          AND I KNOW THAT SO MUCH TIME HAS GONE IN TO HAVING THESE CONVERSATIONS BETWEEN THE NEIGHBORS AND THE APPLICANT. 
          UH, I WANNA GIVE A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO JESSICA CORNADO WITH MY, WHO, UH, HAS PARTICIPATED IN MANY OF THOSE MEETINGS. 
          AND SO, UM, YOU KNOW, THROUGH THIS PROCESS AND YOU KNOW, THIS WAS THE FIRST VALID PETITION. 
          HOPEFULLY I DON'T HAVE TOO MANY IN, IN DISTRICT TWO, UM, THAT OUR OFFICE HAS WORKED ON. 
          AND SO WE MADE SURE TO, TO BE INVOLVED IN ACTIVELY PARTICIPATE AND HELP FACILITATE CONVERSATIONS IS AS MUCH AS WE COULD. 
          AND SO, UM, SO FIRST I WANTED TO EXTEND MY GRATITUDE, UM, TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, UM, FOR, FOR ALL THAT YOU'RE DOING AND ORGANIZING THE COMMUNITY AND INFORMING THE COMMUNITY ABOUT THE PROPOSAL. 
          AND I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR, YOUR INPUT. 
          SO AS A RESULT OF THESE DISCUSSIONS, THIS PROJECT WILL INCLUDE SIGNIFICANT COMMUNITY BENEFITS, TOTALING ABOUT $2 MILLION. 
          THAT INCLUDES A NEW TRAFFIC SIGNAL AND CROSSWALK AT GREAT BRITAIN AND SOUTH FIRST STREET DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS TO REDUCE EXISTING FLOODING IN THE ADJACENT NEIGHBORHOOD, ENHANCED BUFFERING, ALSO RECREATIONAL AMENITIES, INCLUDING A PARK, A DOG PARK, UH, FOR USE FOR BOTH THE TENANTS AND NEARBY NEIGHBORS. 
          UH, THIS PROJECT ALSO HAS AFFORDABLE HOUSING, ABOUT 10% AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS. 
          UM, AND THIS WOULD ADDRESS OUR HOUSING NEED. 
          IT'S ALL AS MENTIONED EARLIER, IT'S ON AN IMAGINED AUSTIN CORRIDOR NEAR A HIGH FREQUENCY BUS STOP AND ALSO NEAR A HIGH CAPACITY TRANSIT CORRIDOR THAT WILL BE SERVED BY PROJECT CONNECTS ORANGE LINE. 
          UM, AND SO TODAY'S, UH, AND BEFORE I GUESS I MAKE MOTION, I DO WANT TO SAY, UM, I HEAR MY COMMUNITY WHEN THEY TALK ABOUT THE INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDED. 
          FIRST. 
          OFTENTIMES WE, UM, HAVE DEVELOPMENTS COME IN AND THE CONVERSATION THEN TURNS TO HOW CAN WE IMPROVE EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS. 
          AND SO PART OF MY FOCUS AS A COUNCIL MEMBER FOR THIS AREA IS ENSURING THAT WE ARE ADEQUATELY INVESTING AND PROACTIVELY ADDRESSING THESE NEEDS THAT HAVE COME UP WATERSHED WILL BE GOING THROUGH A COMMUNITY VISIONING PLAN, UM, WHERE THEY WILL BE GATHERING FEEDBACK TO ADDRESS EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS. 
          AND IT'S SO IMPORTANT AND SO KEY TO OUR COMMUNITY. 
          AND SO I, I AM COMMITTED TO THAT WORK AND I HEAR THE NEED FOR ADDITIONAL SIDEWALKS TO WILLIAMS ELEMENTARY. 
          UM, SO WE'LL BE SURE TO CONTINUE THAT CONVERSATION. 
          UM, I DID HAVE A MOTION SHEET THAT I WANTED TO READ INTO THE RECORD. 
          AND SO I DON'T, I WANT TO SAY ANYTHING BEFORE WE LET A CUSTOMER FRONT THIS MAKE HER EMOTION GO AHEAD, ACCOUNTS ABOUT THIS. 
          OKAY. 
          SO I MOVE APPROVAL ON FIRST READING WITH BROTHER DIRECTION TO THE CITY MANAGER AS FOLLOWS, SUMMARIZE TO SUMMARIZE PROPOSED PLAN AND RECENTLY CONSTRUCTED TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF  SLAUGHTER LANE, SOUTH FIRST STREET AND DITMAR ROAD IDENTIFY THE TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF  SLAUGHTER LANE, SOUTH FIRST STREET AND DITMAR ROAD THAT ARE NOT ADDRESSED IN THE PROPOSED PLAN OR RECENTLY CONSTRUCTED IMPROVEMENTS, SUMMARIZE CIP, AND OUR S AND P PROJECTS PLANNED HERSELF, BOGGY CREEK WATERSHED REVIEW, AND REPRIORITIZED TRANSPORTATION, AND DRAINAGE PLANS IN THE AREA AND IDENTIFY ANY FUNDING MECHANISMS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN UTILIZED TO ADDRESS THESE NEEDS. 
          UH, THE RESULTS OF THIS WORK SHOULD BE REPORTED TO CITY COUNCIL AND NO LATER THAN 90 DAYS, IT'S A MOTION. 
          IS THERE A SECOND COUNCIL MEMBER POOL SECONDS DISCUSSION COUNCIL MEMBER POOL. 
          THANKS MAYOR. 
          I'VE I, UH, I'M JUST LIKE TO SAY A FEW THINGS HERE 
          [03:55:01]
ON THIS CASE THAT, UM, IS IN THE COUNCIL MEMBER, FANTASIES DISTRICT. 
          UM, IF I MAY, I APPRECIATE THAT. 
          UM, I APPRECIATE THE COMMENTS COMING FROM THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY THAT WE HEARD TODAY. 
          AND I'D LIKE TO SAY THAT I'M AWARE OF ALL OF THE WORK THAT YOU HAVE BEEN DOING TO BRING ATTENTION TO THE INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS FOR YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          THANK YOU FOR STAYING AT THE TABLE AND HELPING TO ALLEVIATE ANY POTENTIAL RUNOFF AND MITIGATE TRAFFIC CONCERNS. 
          I'M ALSO AWARE OF THE WORK THAT THE APPLICANTS HAVE PUT INTO THESE EXTENSIVE NEGOTIATIONS AND OF THEIR INNOVATIVE APPROACHES TO GAIN MORE BUFFERS AND INCREASED INVESTMENT FOR THE COMMUNITY. 
          YOU ALL HAVE WALKED THE EXTRA MILE HERE, AND I VERY MUCH APPRECIATE THAT. 
          I SHARE COUNCIL MEMBER  SUPPORT FOR THE, UM, STAFF AND THE ZONING AND PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION WITH THE, UH, WITH THE CONDITIONS THAT THEY OUTLINED, BECAUSE THEY WILL PROVIDE THE REMEDIES AND ADDITIONAL BUFFERS THAT THE COMMUNITY IS LOOKING FOR. 
          AND I ALSO WANT TO THANK MY COLLEAGUE COUNCIL MEMBER IS, UH, FOR HER ADDITIONAL DIRECTION TO CONTINUE THE FOCUS ON THE NEEDS FOR THIS AREA IN PARTICULAR FOR TRANSPORTATION AND REGIONAL DETENTION IMPROVEMENTS. 
          THANKS SO MUCH. 
          OKAY. 
          FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM, READY TO TAKE A VOTE COUNTS. 
          REMEMBER IN 30. 
          YEAH. 
          YOU KNOW, AND MY, MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THAT THERE'S NOT ENOUGH AFFORDABILITY IN THIS PLAN. 
          I, UH, I REALLY WISH THAT, UH, WE COULD GET IT DOWN TO SOME 60% ON SOME OF THESE UNITS. 
          I'M GOING TO SUPPORT IT. 
          I'M ON VOTE AT THIS TIME, BUT I AM NOT GOING TO HAVE TROUBLE VOTING FOR IT IF WE DON'T SEE THEIR AFFORDABILITY DROPPED A LITTLE BIT MORE. 
          OKAY. 
          ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? THAT'S MY POINT THOUGH. 
          JUST REAL QUICK. 
          THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN RENTERIA. 
          I ALSO ECHO YOUR CONCERNS. 
          I REALLY WOULD LIKE TO SEE A DEEPER LEVEL OF AFFORDABILITY AS PART OF THIS PROJECT. 
          AND SO HOPEFULLY ON SECOND OR THIRD READING, WE CAN HAVE THAT. 
          OKAY. 
          LET'S TAKE A VOTE. 
          THE COUNCIL MARTO CONCUR. 
          UM, I'M GOING TO SUPPORT IT ON FIRST READING, BUT I WOULD, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE AN IMPROVED AFFORDABILITY PLAN WHEN IT COMES BACK FOR, FOR SECOND AND THIRD. 
          OKAY. 
          ANYTHING ELSE? TAKE A VOTE WITH THOSE IN FAVOR OF A COUNCIL MARTHA'S MOTION, PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND. 
          THOSE OPPOSED LOOKS LIKE IT ANONYMOUSLY ADOPTED ALZHEIMER'S. 
          I THINK THOSE ARE ALL THE ITEMS WE HAVE. 
          UH, NEXT TUESDAY. 
          I THINK THEY'RE GOING TO BE A GROUP OF US THAT, UH, ARE GOING TO THE, UH, UH, UH, THE, THE CHAMBER, A TRIP TO NASHVILLE, WHICH WOULD BE AN IMPORTANT THING FOR, FOR SOME OF OUR, SOME OF US TO SEE. 
          UM, THERE ARE TWO BRIEFINGS. 
          THERE WERE SCHEDULED TO BE ON THAT TUESDAY. 
          UH, ONE OF THEM, UH, DEALING WITH, UH, CRO REPORT AND THE OTHER ONE DEALING WITH, UH, HOMELESSNESS. 
          IT MIGHT BE BEST IF WE DIDN'T HAVE THOSE REPORTS ON TUESDAY, IF WE'RE GOING TO BE MISSING A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF PEOPLE. 
          SO WE'RE GOING TO BE, UH, MAKING A CHANGE TO TWO WITH THE ADDENDUM TO ALLOW THOSE TO BE, UH, BRIEFINGS AT THE COUNCIL MEETING NEXT THURSDAY, UM, ON A COUNCIL DAY, WHICH MEANS WE'LL PROBABLY SAY LIKE WE DID FOR THE LGBTQ BRIEFING, WE'RE GOING TO SPEND AN HOUR ON THIS, WE'LL TAKE THE BRIEFING AND THEN WE'LL, WE'LL GET THE QUESTIONS, BUT THAT'S BETTER THAN, THAN, THAN DOING THAT. 
          AS I LOOK AT WHAT'S LEFT ON THE TUESDAY AGENDA, I DON'T KNOW THAT IT MAKES SENSE TO HOLD THE WORK SESSION ON TUESDAY. 
          UH, SO I WOULD BE INCLINED AT THIS POINT TO NOT HAVE TO WORK SESSION ON TUESDAY, UNLESS THE COUNCIL MEMBERS WHO WERE REMAINING HERE WANTED THAT OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO VISIT WITH ONE ANOTHER. 
          UM, SO YOU CAN THINK ABOUT THAT IF YOU WANT TO, UH, GET SOMETHING ON THE MESSAGE BOARD, IF YOU WANT TO HOLD ON TO IT. 
          THE DEFAULT SCENARIO I THINK IS GOING TO BE TO, TO, TO, TO PASS ON THE WORK SESSION. 
          UH, I'LL JUST SAY RIGHT NOW, I THINK IT'S FINE TO, UM, TO PASS ON THE WORK SESSION. 
          AND I, I THINK THAT'S, THAT'S GOOD TO HAVE THOSE BRIEFINGS ON THURSDAY. 
          YEAH. 
          YES, CATHERINE, BECAUSE OUR, THERE I'LL BE HERE, BUT I, BUT I AGREE THAT, UM, WORK SESSION WORKS BEST WHEN THERE'S, UH, PLENTY OF US. 
          UH, AND, AND IT'S JUST A TIME FOR US TO MAYBE USE THE MESSAGE BOARD EVEN MORE IF WE NEED TO. 
          OKAY. 
          UH, EVERYTHING THE CASE. 
          YEAH. 
          IT COMES FROM A THERE. 
          UM, THANK YOU. 
          I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU. 
          UM, AND THE CITY MANAGER FOR MOVING THOSE 
          [04:00:01]
BRIEFINGS AND JUST WANTED TO REQUEST IF WE CAN, FOR THE CRO REPORT, UM, GET IF THERE'S SOMETHING IN WRITING IN ADVANCE SO THAT, UM, WE CAN HAVE REVIEWED THAT, UM, IN ADVANCE OF THURSDAY'S MEETING. 
          UM, AND YOU KNOW, JUST WANT TO NOTE THAT IF, IF THERE ARE A LOT OF QUESTIONS THAT GO ON, MAYBE WE CAN HAVE FOR EITHER OF THE TOPICS THAT WE CAN HAVE THEM COME BACK AGAIN. 
          I KNOW THERE'S AN IMPERATIVE TO GET THE INFORMATION AND THE CONVERSATION MOVING AND GET SOME INITIAL FEEDBACK, BUT EITHER OF THOSE COULD TAKE MORE THAN AN HOUR, MORE THAN AN HOUR. 
          UM, JUST SO WE MAY NEED TO CONTINUE THAT CONVERSATION. 
          ABSOLUTELY. 
          AS MANY TIMES AS WE NEED TO, WE CAN BRING IT BACK. 
          CAN YOU ACCOMMODATE GETTING SOMETHING IN WRITING AHEAD OF TIME? CERTAINLY I'LL GET WITH STAFF ABOUT THAT. 
          I BELIEVE THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING, I MEAN, IF THEY'RE NOT DOING SOMETHING IN WRITING, I'M NOT ASKING FOR SOMETHING NEW. 
          I HAD UNDERSTOOD THAT THEY WERE PROVIDING SOMETHING IN WRITING, BUT RATHER THAN JUST GET IT THURSDAY MORNING, IF WE, IF WE COULD AT LEAST GET IT WEDNESDAY MORNING, AND THAT WOULD BE GREAT. 
          WE'LL WORK ON THAT. 
          OKAY. 
          SOUNDS GOOD WITH THAT. 
          THEN WE'LL NOT HOLD THE WORK SESSION NEXT TUESDAY. 
          UH, WITH THAT, I THINK THAT EVERYTHING THAT WE HAD ON THE, UH, AGENDA ME REMEMBER TO TALK ABOUT THE SMEAR. 
          WE HAD TALKED ABOUT MAYBE HAVING A LITTLE SECTION OF THE WORK SESSION, UM, DEVOTED TO TALKING THROUGH SOME OF THE MEETING PROCEDURES AND SOME OF THE CHANGES I THINK GIVEN THAT WE'RE NOT HAVING A WORK SESSION AND GIVEN THAT I HAD THAT IDEA, AND I'M NOT EVEN GOING TO BE AT THIS, COULDN'T HAVE BEEN AT THE WORK SESSION. 
          I THINK IT MAKES SENSE TO JUST TABLE THAT FOR ANOTHER MEETING. 
          UM, I DID WANT TO JUST ASK, YOU KNOW, AMONG THOSE MEETING CONVERSATIONS, I THINK WE SHOULD ALSO ADDRESS WHETHER OR NOT TO DO THIS WITH BRIEFINGS IN OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES, TOO. 
          I LIKE HAVING THE FLEXIBILITY OF BEING ABLE TO HAVE THOSE ON THURSDAY. 
          UM, I THINK WE CAN BE INTENTIONAL AND SAY, WE EXPECT TO HAVE THEM ON TUESDAY, BUT HAVING THAT FLEXIBILITY IS HELPFUL BECAUSE THERE, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES WE HIT REALLY THORNY MEETING AGENDAS AND HAVE NO TIME TO TALK ABOUT THE MEETING AGENDA ITEMS BEFORE THURSDAY BECAUSE WE'RE IN BRIEFINGS ALL DAY. 
          SO I WOULD LIKE TO, I THINK IT WOULD HELP OUR PROCESS A BIT IF WE HAD A LITTLE BIT MORE FLEXIBILITY ON THAT. 
          SO THANKS FOR MOVING THOSE BRIEFINGS TO THURSDAY. 
          I HOPE WE'LL GET THE SPENDING REPORT TO IN ADVANCE AND IN PRINT FORM SO THAT WE CAN REVIEW IT AND BE REALLY EFFICIENT WITH OUR TIME ON THURSDAY. 
          AND, UM, THANK YOU FOR THE ACCOMMODATIONS IN TERMS OF NEXT WEEK SCHEDULE. 
          YEAH. 
          AND WITH THE REQUEST THAT YOU AND OTHERS HAD MADE, WE TRIED THIS WEEK TO, TO ORDER THE BRIEFINGS IN A WAY THAT ALLOWED US TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GOT, UM, EARLY ENOUGH IN THE DAY. 
          SO WE WEREN'T RUSHED AND WEREN'T TIRED. 
          THE THINGS THAT WE KNEW THAT WE NEEDED TO TALK ABOUT THAT WERE, UH, TIMELY FOR FOLKS. 
          I THINK THAT WORKED WELL. 
          I THOUGHT SO, TOO. 
          YEAH. 
          AS COUNSELOR KELLY, I JUST WANTED TO JUMP ON THE BOAT OF GRATITUDE AND THANK YOU FOR THAT FLEXIBILITY SO THAT WE COULD ALL BE HERE FOR THOSE IMPORTANT DISCUSSIONS. 
          AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO ALL RIGHT WITH THAT THEN, UH, AT, UH, UH, 4 44, UH, THIS MEETING IS ADJOURNED. 
           YOU DO? WHO DO YOU, WHERE DO YOU GO WHEN YOU .
