          I'M SO HONORED TO PRESENT DARLENE VILLAREAL BERG HAMMER WITH A DISTINGUISHED SERVICE AWARD TODAY ON BEHALF OF AUSTIN CITY COUNCIL IN HONOR OF HER RETIREMENT FROM THE CITY OF AUSTIN. 
          BUT FIRST I WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME ROLANDO FERNANDEZ DIRECTOR OF THE CITY'S CAPITAL CONTRACTING OFFICE TO SHARE A FEW WORDS. 
          SURE. 
          GOOD MORNING, ROLANDA FERNANDEZ, CITY OF AUSTIN. 
          I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT A COUPLE OF THINGS ABOUT MISS DARLENE BERG HAMMER. 
          I'VE KNOWN DARLENE NOW FOR GOING ON 16 YEARS. 
          AND IT WAS ONE OF THE FIRST PRESSES THAT I MET WHEN I STARTED WITH THE CITY OF AUSTIN. 
          SHE WAS WORKING IN THE MAYOR'S OFFICE AND I STARTED MY ADVENTURE WITH THE CITY AND THEN THE MANAGER'S OFFICE. 
          UH, NOT ONLY WAS IT, UH, A RELATIONSHIP THAT WE CREATED BASED ON OUR WORK RESPONSIBILITIES, BUT ALSO WE CREATED A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP AND, AND DARLENE IS SOMEBODY THAT I'M INDEBTED TO FOREVER. 
          UH, SHE, UH, HOSTED A 30 MY 30TH BIRTHDAY PARTY. 
          AND AT THAT EVENT I MET MY WIFE. 
          AND SO I HAVE, WILL BE FOREVER GRATEFUL TO DARLENE FOR THAT. 
          BUT, UH, UH, ALSO IMPORTANT IS THE MANY CONTRIBUTIONS THAT YOU'LL HEAR AT CONS. 
          REMEMBER, UH, WENT TO HIS TALK ABOUT IN TERMS OF DARLENE'S ACHIEVEMENTS WITH THE CITY, BUT I WANTED TO COVER ONE PARTICULAR AREA OF THE DISTRICT THAT, UH, DARLENE PROVIDED FOR OUR CITY. 
          UM, DARLENE HAS BEEN A VOCAL LEADER, UH, IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR HISPANIC, LATINO WORKFORCE. 
          UH, SHE HAS SERVED AND OUR LATINO EMPLOYEE GROUP, THE AUSTIN HISPANIC LATINO NETWORK AS PROGRAM CHAIR. 
          AND MOST RECENTLY AS THE BOARD PRESIDENT AND HAS DONE A GREAT JOB IN LEADING OUR EFFORTS AND REALLY CARING AND, UM, SPEARHEADING A LOT OF THE PROGRAMS THAT HAVE RESULTED HAD RESULTED IN PEOPLE WITHIN OUR ORGANIZATION, UM, BEING RECOGNIZED FOR THEIR EFFORTS, UM, BY PROMOTIONS. 
          AND SO DARLENE, WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR THAT EFFORT. 
          YOU ARE A TREMENDOUS, UH, PERSON. 
          YOU CARE A LOT. 
          UH, YOU ARE A GO GETTER AND I WAS HOPING THAT YOU WOULD REPRESENT US ON THE NATIONAL LEVEL AT THE, UH, UM, THE ORGANIZATION THAT PROVIDES LEADERSHIP FOR HISPANIC GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY, THE LATINO, HISPANIC NETWORK ASSOCIATION. 
          BUT I KNOW YOU'RE ON TO SOME BIGGER, BETTER THINGS, UH, AS A WIFE, AS A MOTHER AND CARING FOR YOUR FAMILY, UM, FINISHED WITH ALL THIS ,  VERY NICE, WELL SAID, ORLANDO, AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO THE CITY. 
          UH, NOW I'D LIKE TO SHARE SOME KEY HIGHLIGHTS FROM DARLIE'S TENURE WITH THE CITY. 
          BEFORE I PRESENT HER WITH THE AWARD, UH, DARLENE HAS 25 YEARS OF MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT EXPERIENCE IN PROGRAMMATIC IN SERVICE INDUSTRY, SERVICE, ADVOCACY DEVELOPMENT, FINANCIAL PLANNING, AND CONTRACT AND POLICY DEVELOPMENT. 
          SHE JOINED AUSTIN ENERGY IN 2009 AND IS RESPONSIBLE FOR CONTRACT GRANT COMPLIANCE FOR THE AUSTIN ENERGY CONSERVATION AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY SERVICE PROGRAMS PRIOR TO JOINING THE AUSTIN ENERGY TEAM. 
          DARLENE WORKED IN OTHER CITY DEPARTMENTS, INCLUDING PARKS AND RECREATION, AUSTIN CONVENTION CENTER, NEIGHBORHOOD HOUSING CONSERVATION, AND MAYOR AND COUNCIL OFFICES. 
          VERY GOOD. 
          UH, SOME OF HER MOST NOTABLE PROJECTS INCLUDE THE NOTABLE CITY PROJECTS, THE ELECTRIC SOLAR KIOSK, THE TECQ ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATION, GRANT INSTALLATION, ELECTRIC VEHICLE, REGIONAL PLANNING, AND THE US MAYOR'S CLIMATE PROJECT INITIATIVE AND THE CITY'S 150TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION. 
          I RECENTLY MET DARLENE WHILE PARTICIPATING IN THE AUSTIN HISPANIC, LATINO EMPLOYEE NETWORK EVENT, WHERE SHE HAS SERVED AS CHAIR AND DARLENE HAS PLAYED A CRITICAL ROLE IN REPRESENTING THE CITY'S NETWORK OF HISPANIC EMPLOYEES, WHICH I'M VERY GRATEFUL FOR, UM, AN ALL WHILE NAVIGATING A VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT, A VIRTUAL PROGRAMMING FOR THE LAST 20 MONTHS. 
          SO BRAVO, DARLENE, UH, AND NOW FOR THE AWARD. 
          [00:10:01]
SO WE HAVE HERE, THIS IS THE DISTINGUISHED SERVICE AWARD FOR YOUR UNTIRING SERVICE AND COMMITMENT TO OUR RESIDENTS DURING YOUR 38 YEAR TENURE DEDICATED AS A DEDICATED EMPLOYEE TO THE CITY OF AUSTIN. 
          AND THIS IS A DESERVING OF PUBLIC AND PUBLIC ACCLAIM AND RECOGNITION. 
          SO HERE'S YOUR CERTIFICATE AND GIRLY. 
          AND IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHARE A FEW WORDS, OKAY, I'M 38 YEARS. 
          IT'S A LONG TIME IT'S BEEN A BLAST. 
          UM, I'LL SHARE ONE STORY THAT I HAD, AND I WAS, UH, AN, UH, AN EMPLOYEE AT PARKS AND REC AND MR. G UH, ROY GUERRERO WAS THE, UH, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR FOR PROGRAMS AT THAT TIME. 
          AND I WAS A PLAYGROUND LEADER. 
          I HAD BEEN HIRED IN THE SUMMER. 
          I WAS WHAT THEY CALL A SUMMER TEMPORARY, UH, EMPLOYEE. 
          AND, UM, IT KIND OF, UH, BIRTH BY FIRE AND ALL THE, UH, PLAYGROUND LEADERS WOULD COME IN AND TURN IN THEIR, THEIR BUCKET OF STUFF THAT YOU USED ON THE PLAYGROUND. 
          I WAS AT JOCELYN AND THIS ONE A DAY THAT I CAME IN, MR. G CALLED ME INTO HIS OFFICE. 
          AND HE SAID, UH, YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE AND EXPLAIN WHAT YOU DO AND WHO YOU ARE. 
          CAUSE WE HAD A CITIZEN THAT CALLED IN AND COMPLAINED THAT THERE WERE NO ADULTS SUPERVISING THE KIDS AT JOCELYN PARK. 
          AND SO, UH, I WAS PROBABLY 21, MAYBE 22, SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 
          AND IT WAS JUST A VERY TIRED, I WAS LIKE, I TRIED TO GET OUT OF THAT. 
          I WAS LIKE, NO, I DON'T, I DON'T THINK I SHOULD GO. 
          I SHOULD NOT BE THE ONE TO GO. 
          HE GOES, YES, YOU SHOULD GO. 
          AND I WAS LIKE, THE WAY I AM, I HAD A T-SHIRT AND SHORTS AT THAT TIME PARK EMPLOYEES WHO ARE UNIFORMS. AND SO THERE I GO UP TO CITY HALL AT THAT TIME WAS ON EIGHTH STREET, WAITED IN HIS OFFICE AND DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT, BUT WAS RECEIVED BY THE CITY MANAGER WITH OPEN ARMS AND WAS INTERESTED IN WHAT I WAS DOING AND WHY I WAS DOING IT AND REALLY INTRODUCED ME TO PUBLIC SERVICE. 
          AND AT THAT POINT IN MY CAREER, YOU CONFRONTED A LOT OF YEARS. 
          AND SO THE REST OF THE 38 YEARS HAVE BEEN JUST THAT UP AND DOWN MEETING PEOPLE, PROVIDING SUPPORT, UNDERSTANDING WHAT THE COMMUNITY WANTS AND WHAT IT NEEDS. 
          UM, THE CITY OF AUSTIN IS A GREAT ORGANIZATION TO WORK FOR. 
          IT'S PROVIDED ME SUPPORT MENTORING, FRIENDSHIPS, AND, AND EVEN THOUGH I WILL MISS IT, I'M SURE THAT, UM, THE NEXT CHAPTER IS GOING TO BE JUST AS GREAT. 
          SO THANK YOU. 
           YOU CAN TAKE THAT. 
          EXACTLY. 
          IT'S BEEN FUN. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          WE 
          [Call to Order]

          [00:15:01]
COLLEAGUES. 
          UH, I THINK WE HAVE A MEETING WE OUGHT TO BE ABLE TO MOVE THROUGH TODAY. 
          UM, UH, RELATIVELY, UH, UH, QUICKLY, UH, 
          [Consent Agenda]
WE'RE GOING TO BEGIN WITH CHANGES AND CORRECTIONS. 
          LET ME READ SOME THINGS INTO THE RECORD. 
          UH, ITEM NUMBER TAN, UH, IS, UH, BEING POSTPONED UNTIL 2021 ITEM NUMBER 39, UH, IS, UH, WITHDRAWN. 
          I DON'T NUMBER 41 SHOULD BE LISTED IN A PUBLIC HEALTH CATEGORY AND NOT THE SMALL AND MINORITY BUSINESS RESOURCES CATEGORY ON OUR AGENDA. 
          ITEM 69 IS IN DISTRICT SEVEN, NOT DISTRICT ONE. 
          WE HAVE SOME ITEMS THAT ARE BEING PULLED OFF THE CONSENT AGENDA, SO THEY CAN BE CONSIDERED AFTER OTHER THINGS, UH, CHANGES AND CORRECTIONS LISTED, UH, ITEM NUMBER 49, WHICH HAS TO BE HEARD AFTER EXECUTIVE SESSION. 
          UH, ITEM NUMBER 29 IS NOT NOTED, BUT THAT HAS TO BE PULLED TO BE HEARD, UH, UH, AT 2:00 PM RELATED TO ITEM NUMBER 60, UH, UH, EIGHT, UH, WE HAD TALKED EARLIER ABOUT ITEMS 12, 13, AND 16 BEING, UH, POSTPONED, UH, COUNCILMEMBER TOBO IS IN HERE. 
          I KNOW THAT THAT IS SOMETHING THAT SHE HAD INDICATED SHE WOULD BE DOING, UH, ITEMS 12, 13, AND 16. 
          THAT'S THE MUNICIPAL, UH, BUILDING, UH, ISSUE OF ADAC, UH, ISSUE ALSO ITEM NUMBER 48. 
          WE HAD TALKED, UH, EARLIER A MAYOR PRO TEM. 
          UH, THAT WAS YOUR ITEM. 
          I THINK THAT YOU WERE MOVING TILL NEXT WEEK AS WELL. 
          UH, WE HAVE SOME LATE BACKUP ITEMS, 8, 10 47, 52 53 57 61 62 63, 65, 66 AND 67. 
          SO AGAIN, THE CONSENT AGENDA TODAY IS ITEMS ONE THROUGH 51, UH, AS ROMAN TOBO YOU HAD INDICATED EARLIER, YOU WERE GOING TO POST BLUE AND POSTPONE 12, 13, AND 16 ITEMS YOU WANT TO, YES, I DO WANT TO MOVE POSTPONEMENT OF THESE. 
          AND, AND AS I INDICATED ON TUESDAY, YOU KNOW, HAVING URGED, UM, SPEED AND EXPEDIENCY ON THESE ISSUES, I HATE TO DELAY THEM. 
          HOWEVER, WE REALLY NEED TO PROVIDE SOME COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND ADVANCE OF COUNCIL ACTION ON THIS ITEM. 
          AND, UM, UNFORTUNATELY THAT REALLY HASN'T TAKEN PLACE IN AN EXTENSIVE WAY. 
          AND SO I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE POSTPONEMENT UNTIL BEYOND NEXT WEEK, UM, NO LATER THAN JANUARY 27TH. 
          AND I SAY IT THAT WAY, BECAUSE I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS, COME BACK TO US, SORRY, I'M LOOKING AT THE DATE HERE. 
          I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS COME BACK TO US AT OUR EARLIEST OPPORTUNITY. 
          AND THERE MAY BE A SITUATION WHERE WE'RE HAVING A COVID BRIEFING IN EARLY JANUARY, WHERE THIS COULD BE ADDED AS A SPECIAL CALLED MEETING. 
          I KNOW THAT WE DO HAVE ONE SPECIAL CALLED MEETING RIGHT NOW SCHEDULED FOR DECEMBER 14TH, I BELIEVE, WHICH MAY YET BE TOO SOON. 
          WE, WE ARE STILL IN THE PROCESS OF WORKING WITH CPIO AND THE DOWNTOWN AUSTIN COMMUNITY COURT TO SCHEDULE THAT PUBLIC MEETING FOR STAKEHOLDERS TO COME AND TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE IMPORTANT WORK THAT THE DOWNTOWN AUSTIN COMMUNITY COURT DOES. 
          AND SO, YOU KNOW, PENDING THAT SCHEDULING. 
          SO WHAT IS BEST, UM, AT THIS POINT IN TERMS OF POSTPONING? WELL, I THINK THE WAY YOU DID IT NO LATER THAN THE 27TH, I THINK COVERS THAT, THAT ENABLES THE MANAGER TO PUT IT ON THE AGENDA, UH, JUST AS IF THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT, AS SOON AS WE HAD THAT MEETING AND ARE IN A POSITION TO GREAT. 
          SO WITHOUT OBJECTION, IT WILL BE ON OUR CONSENT AGENDA THAT WAY, UH, FOR THOSE ITEMS, 12, 13, AND 16 AND MANAGER, I WOULD JUST ADD TO IT. 
          UM, REMEMBER TOBY SAID, I THINK THAT THE COMMUNITY WANTS TO SEE KIND OF WHAT THE OPERATIONAL PLAN IS. 
          I MEAN, HOW IT'S GOING TO BE MANAGED, WHAT TO EXPECT, UH, UH, FOR, FOR THOSE IN THE, IN THE COMMUNITY, WHEN THEY DRIVE BY OR OTHERWISE LIVING IN PROXIMITY OR WORKING IN PROXIMITY TO THAT FACILITY. 
          I ALSO AGREE WITH COUNCIL MEMBER TOVA, WE NEED TO MOVE FORWARD. 
          UM, UH, THIS IS AN IMPORTANT THING, BUT WE, WE OBVIOUSLY HAVE TO DO A LITTLE BIT BETTER JOB OF INVOLVING THE COMMUNITY IN THIS DECISION AND MAYOR, IF I COULD, I JUST ALSO WANT TO ENCOURAGE, UM, THE MANAGER TO PULL TOGETHER INFORMATION AS YOU HAVE WITH THE ONE TEXAS CENTER AND WITH OTHER CONVERSATIONS AROUND THE DOWNTOWN AUSTIN COMMUNITY COURT. 
          I BELIEVE THAT SOME MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC MAY NOT BE AWARE THAT THE DOWNTOWN AUSTIN COMMUNITY COURT HAS OPERATED DOWNTOWN FOR, FOR QUITE A LONG MILE. 
          AND SO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE HAVING A CONVERSATION RIGHT NOW BECAUSE IT'S MOVING SPOTS, BUT IT HAS OPERATED REALLY WELL AND 
          [00:20:01]
IN HARMONY WITH ITS SURROUNDINGS FOR MANY YEARS. 
          AND SO I, I, I LOOK FORWARD TO THOSE COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS WHERE WE CAN REALLY TALK WITH THE PUBLIC ABOUT WHAT THE OPERATIONS LOOK LIKE ON A REGULAR BASIS. 
          AND AGAIN, THE IMPORTANT WORK THAT THEY DO AND TO HEAR, UM, HEAR THE CONCERNS THAT THEY MAY HAVE AND WORK ON PLANS TO, TO ADDRESS THOSE MOVING FORWARD. 
          OKAY. 
          A COUNSELOR, RIGHT? THIS THANK YOU. 
          GOOD MORNING. 
          I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST TO BE ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR FOR ITEM 49, WHICH IS THE ITEM THAT WE'LL TAKE UP AFTER EXECUTIVE SESSION APPOINTING THE CITY CLERK. 
          OKAY. 
          SO NOTED. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          UH, I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH THIS ONE LAST TIME AND WE'RE GOING TO GO TO SPEAKERS. 
          UH, WE'LL DO THE SPEAKERS THAT ARE IN PERSON HERE FIRST. 
          I DUNNO IF WE HAVE A LIST OF THOSE, UH, AND THEN WE'LL DO THE SPEAKERS BY PHONE. 
          WE'RE GOING TO DO THREE MINUTES THIS MORNING, AND THEN, UH, UM, THREE MINUTES, UM, THIS AFTERNOON ARE USING THE NEW SPEAKER SYSTEM THAT WE HAD PEOPLE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK REMOTELY AS A, I MEAN, YESTERDAY NOON-ISH I THINK WAS THE TIME THE KIOSK WAS OPEN TILL NINE, 15 THIS MORNING FOR PEOPLE TO SIGN UP, UH, YES. 
          OVER KELLY. 
          COULD I PLEASE BE ADDED AS A CO-SPONSOR TO ITEM 48? YES. 
          THANK YOU. 
          RECORD OR REFLECT THAT. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          SO THE CONSENT AGENDA IS ITEM ONE THROUGH 51 POSTPONING ITEMS, 12, 13, AND 16 PULLING ITEM 29 AND 49 ALSO POSTPONING ITEM 48. 
          UM, ANY COMMENTS BEFORE WE GO TO SPEAKERS CLARK, WHILE I FIND MY LIST, REMEMBER, DO YOU WANT TO CALL THE FIRST, UH, IN-PERSON SPEAKER SHARE ME OR ONE SECOND.

          OKAY. 
          HI. 
          WHAT'S NOT READY. 
          SORRY. 
          NO, NO. 
          THAT'S OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          THE FIRST SPEAKER IS CHRIS HARSHBARGER FOR ITEM 12, LINDSEY SANDER. 
          HAND-ON LEE LEVY, INA PEVSNER FOR ITEM 30. 
          WE HAVE ALICIA WEIGEL. 
          ARE WE STARTING NOW? OH, HI. 
          HEY EVERYONE. 
          FELICIA ROTH, WEIGEL HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSIONER FOR DISTRICT FOUR. 
          I JUST WANTED TO VOICE MY SUPPORT FOR ITEM 30 AS A MEMBER OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION. 
          THIS IS TAKING SOME POWER OUT OF OUR HANDS, REDIRECTING IT TO THE CIVIL RIGHTS OFFICE, WHICH I FEEL IS REALLY IMPORTANT BECAUSE ULTIMATELY WE, WE DO REALLY GREAT WORK, BUT ULTIMATELY WE'RE A GROUP OF VOLUNTEERS. 
          UM, AND THE ONE NON-DISCRIMINATION HEARING THAT I WAS PART OF AS A COMMISSIONER, I DON'T BELIEVE JUSTICE WAS SERVED. 
          UH, AT THE BEGINNING OF THE HEARING, THEY CAME IN WITH LIKE A DOSSIER OF LIKE HUNDREDS OF PAGES OF DOCUMENTS, OF EVIDENCE ABOUT THE NON-DISCRIMINATION CASE. 
          AND WE HAD NO PRIOR READING TIME. 
          WE HAD NO TIME TO REVIEW THE EVIDENCE AND INFORMATION, UH, AND WE'RE EXPECTED TO MAKE A DECISION WITHIN LIKE AN HOUR LONG HEARING. 
          AND I DON'T KNOW HOW FAST YOU ALL READ. 
          I DON'T READ THAT FAST. 
          UM, SO I FELT LIKE WE COULDN'T ADEQUATELY REVIEW THE INFORMATION BE FOR BEING ABLE TO DELIVER A VERDICT. 
          I ALSO FEEL LIKE A LOT OF US WERE CONFUSED ABOUT PARLIAMENTARY PROCESS AND PROCEDURES. 
          AND SO THE HEARING ENDED BEFORE I GOT TO ASK ALL OF MY QUESTIONS OR EXPLORE ALL THE ASPECTS OF THE CASE THAT I WANTED TO. 
          UM, AND SO I WAS REALLY UPSET AFTERWARDS BECAUSE I, I TRULY DON'T BELIEVE JUSTICE WAS SERVED IN THAT INSTANCE. 
          AND SO I THINK WHILE OUR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS ARE VITALLY IMPORTANT TO THE CITY, IT'S IMPORTANT TO AFFIRM THAT WE ARE THERE TO ADVISE Y'ALL. 
          UM, WE HAVE BEEN APPOINTED, WE HAVE NOT BEEN ELECTED. 
          AND SO I THINK, UH, FOCUSING OUR ROLE ON THAT RATHER THAN ASKING US TO ADJUDICATE BEYOND OUR CAPABILITIES AS A GROUP OF VOLUNTEERS IS SUPER IMPORTANT. 
          UM, AND I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT, UM, 
          [00:25:01]
WELCOMING CAROL AND, AND, UM, ESTABLISHING THE CIVIL RIGHTS OFFICE AND THESE IMPORTANT POWERS AND, UM, PART OF SERVING JUSTICE AS SOMETIMES TAKING POWER OUT OF YOUR OWN HANDS. 
          AND THAT'S WHAT I'M HOPING Y'ALL WILL DO TODAY. 
          SO THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          NEXT SPEAKER IS SARAH REYES. 
          HELLO, GOOD MORNING. 
          UM, MY NAME IS SARAH REYES. 
          I'M A POLICY ANALYST AT THE TEXAS CENTER FOR JUSTICE AND EQUITY, UH, FORMERLY TEXAS, UH, CENTER FOR CRIMINAL JUSTICE, CRIMINAL JUSTICE COALITION. 
          WE JUST REBRANDED. 
          SO GETTING THE HANG OF IT, SAME, SAME ACRONYMS. UM, AND I'M SPEAKING IN FAVOR OF ITEM 30. 
          UM, SO IN THE SUMMER OF 20, 20, 20 20 DURING THE HEIGHT OF THE BLACK LIVES MATTER MOVEMENT AND COVID-19, I WAS ON THE STREETS OF BOSTON. 
          AND EVEN IN FRONT OF THIS VERY BUILDING DEMANDING CHANGE FOR PEOPLE OF COLOR, DEMANDING CHANGE, DEMANDING TRAINING FOR PEOPLE OF COLOR, DEMANDING ACCOUNTABILITY, FOR THOSE IN POWER, PEOPLE OF COLOR HAVE HAD TO FIGHT DAY IN AND DAY OUT TO OBTAIN CIVIL RIGHTS THAT WERE GRANTED TO OTHERS. 
          WITHOUT QUESTION WITH THAT BEING SAID, THE CREATION OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS OFFICE IS A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION TO PROTECT AND ENSURE ALL US AUSTINITES ARE TREATED FAIRLY. 
          AND TODAY I'M GLAD TO BE ABLE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM THAT WILL UPHOLD AND ENFORCE THINGS LIKE EQUAL EMPLOYMENT, DISABILITY, FAIR HOUSING, AND FAIR CHANCE HIRING. 
          THESE ARE THINGS THAT MANY INDIVIDUALS, ESPECIALLY PEOPLE OF COLOR HAVE A HARD TIME DEALING WITH IN THEIR EVERYDAY LIFE. 
          FOR INSTANCE, INDIVIDUALS WITH A CRIMINAL RECORD HAVE A MUCH MORE DIFFICULT TIME FINDING EMPLOYMENT AND HOUSING THAN THOSE WITH A CRIMINAL RECORD. 
          AND EVERY SINGLE PERSON WITH OR A CRIMINAL BACKGROUND DESERVES THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE A PRODUCTIVE MEMBER OF SOCIETY, MEANING THAT THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO OBTAIN A JOB OR HOUSING WITHOUT THE FEAR OF THEIR PAST PREVENTING THEM FROM DOING SO. 
          THERE'S A STIGMA AROUND PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD SOME TYPE OF RECORD. 
          AND THERE'S THIS IDEA THAT A PAST MISTAKE DEFINES THE WORTH OF AN INDIVIDUAL, BUT IT'S SOMEONE WHO WORKS CLOSELY WITH PEOPLE. 
          WHO'VE BEEN SYSTEM IMPACTED. 
          I HAVE TO SAY THAT THE SOCIETY AND THE WORKFORCE ARE REALLY MISSING OUT ON AMAZING INDIVIDUALS. 
          AND IT IS MY HOPE THAT THE CIVIL RIGHTS OFFICE CAN PROVIDE EDUCATION TO THE COMMUNITY AND HELP RESHAPE THIS NARRATIVE BARRIERS LIKE THIS DO NOT CREATE A HEALTHIER OR SAFER SOCIETY THEY NEVER HAVE, AND THEY NEVER WILL. 
          THE ENFORCEMENT OF FAIR CHANCE HIRING WILL WITHOUT A DOUBT, CREATE A BETTER COMMUNITY FOR EVERYONE. 
          IT WILL GIVE INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE BEEN INCARCERATED, A CHANCE TO BE INDEPENDENT AND A CHANCE TO TAKE CHARGE OF THEIR LIFE. 
          SO I TRUST THAT THE RESPONSIBILITY THAT THIS OFFICE WILL BE GIVEN WILL HELP TO EMPOWER AND EDUCATE THE PEOPLE OF AUSTIN AND MAKE AUSTIN SAFER FOR EVERYONE, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO NEED IT THE MOST. 
          THANK YOU, FABIOLA BURRITO. 
          GOOD MORNING. 
          GOOD MORNING. 
          MAYOR MAYOR PRO TEM AND COUNCIL MEMBERS. 
          MY NAME IS FABIOLA BARRETO AND I AM THE AUSTIN POLICY COORDINATOR AT WORKERS DEFENSE PROJECT. 
          WE WOULD LIKE TO APPLAUD CITY COUNCIL AND CITY STAFF FOR ALL OF THEIR WORK SINCE 2018 TO CREATE AND FORMALIZE THE DUTIES AND THE OFFICE OF CIVIL RIGHTS.

          WE ARE EXCITED TO SEE COUNCIL MEMBER KOSSAR'S DIRECTION AS IT DEALS WITH PROTECTING WORKERS THAT REPORT UNSAFE WORKING CONDITIONS AT THEIR JOBS AND ENSURING PROTECTION, REGARDLESS OF A WORKER, IF WHETHER A WORKER IS MISCLASSIFIED, THIS IS A HUGE VICTORY FOR WORKING CLASS PEOPLE WITHIN AUSTIN. 
          WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING THE OFFICE OF CIVIL RIGHTS, TAKE STEPS TOWARDS MAKING AUSTIN, MAKING SURE THAT AUSTINITES CAN WORK WITHOUT FEAR OF DISCRIMINATION, ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT CONTINUE TO BUILD OUR CITY. 
          THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR HARD WORK.

          I JUST WANTED THE CITY MANAGER TO INCLUDE A MAP LEGALLY WE COULD DENSITIES AND THE AREA MEDIAN INCOME, AND EACH OF THE DISTRICTS FOUND PAYMENT ASSISTANCE. 
          HOW MANY HOMES USE HAD BEEN ASSISTED IN ADDITION TO THE 29 HOMES 
          [00:55:01]
THAT YOU DISCUSSED DURING THE WORK SESSION THIS WEEK, AND ALSO TO BRING BACK INFORMATION ON WHETHER OR NOT HE WOULD PLAN ON UPDATING THE SMART GUY. 
          AND I WAS JUST CALLED TO YOUR ATTENTION THAT SHE TRANSIT IN UNIT AND ASK YOU TO LOOK AT THAT ITEM AGAIN, BECAUSE THE STAFF IS ABLE TO LEAD THAT. 
          SO WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT INCOME ZONING AND PLANNING AND HOUSING, AS YOU TALKED ABOUT ON TUESDAY, I JUST WANT YOU TO RECOGNIZE THAT PART OF THE PROBLEM IS BECAUSE TRANSIT CAN BE WAIVED. 
          AND SO THAT'S NOT AN INCENTIVE FOR THE DEVELOPERS TO ACTUALLY INCLUDE TRANSIT IN THE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT. 
          AS IT RELATES SPECIFICALLY TO ITEM 10, I DON'T HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL COMMENTS ABOUT THE MINORITY CHAMBER ALLOCATION OF FUNDING. 
          I DO SEE THAT WE INCLUDE THE PUBLIC INFORMATION ACT PROVISION THAT I MENTIONED LAST WEEK. 
           2.3, SO THAT THEY UNDERSTAND THAT PART OF THE FUNDING IS FROM A GOVERNMENT ENTITY. 
          AND THEY ARE A GOVERNMENTAL BODY IN THAT RESPECT AS EARLY TO ITEM 39 EACH AND SPECIFICALLY THE 53 10 FUNDS FROM THE FEDERAL TRANSIT ADMINISTRATION. 
          IT'S THE ONE THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED FIFTY FIVE THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED EIGHTY TWO DOLLARS PARTIALLY FUNDED THROUGH CAMPO. 
          I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT I DO, UH, APPRECIATE THAT THE SENIORS CAN GET TO THE CONGREGATE FACILITIES THAT I WANT TO CALL TO YOUR ATTENTION THAT IT'S NOT EQUITABLE BECAUSE IT'S $6 A TRIP COMPARED TO $2 AND 50 CENTS BUS PASS. 
          AND SO, AS IT RELATES TO THE 53 10 FINDS OUT, I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT COUNCIL MEMBER MENTOR MARIA WAS BIASED WHEN HE GOT A SPECIAL BUS FOR HIS CONSTITUENTS, WHILE THE SENIORS AT MERRILL TOWN WALK A MILE, AND THOSE IN COLLINGWOOD AND DISTRICT ONE WALK A HALF A MILE TO BREAKER. 
          SO I WOULD JUST ASK YOU TO REVISIT, UH, THE NEW HALL, THE CAPITAL METRO BOARD MEMBERS, SO THAT THERE'S NOT BIAS AND THAT YOU CONSIDER A TRANSIT DEPENDENT LIGHTER. 
          AND LASTLY, I JUST WANTED TO SAY, AS IT RELATES TO ITEM 43, COPY, NUMBER TWO MENTIONED IT AT NOT YOUR ORDINARY SCHOOL. 
          THERE NEEDS TO BE A MITT BLOCK, PEDESTRIAN HYBRID BEACON, WHICH IS LESS THAN A QUARTER MILE FROM THE SCHOOL WAS LOW. 
          AND MR. DONALD NORTON WAS 65 IN HIS WHEELCHAIR. 
          HE WAS KILLED IN THAT VICINITY, UH, HIS SERVICE ANIMALS LIVE BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN 16 AND THEY'RE STILL A MID-BLOCK STUFF BY THE METROPOLITAN COURT. 
          IF YOU WANT TO HELP THE STUDENTS AND THEIR PARENTS, THERE'S AN APARTMENT COMPLEX RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET. 
          AND SO TRANSIT DEPENDENT LIGHTERS CROSSING THAT BUSY INTERSECTION, AND I WILL HOPE THAT ANOTHER PERSON DOESN'T HAVE TO DIE FROM CHINA. 
          THANKS FOR PARTICIPATING. 
          THAT CONCLUDES ALL THE SPEAKERS CONTINUING BACKUP ON THE COUNCIL MEMBER, TOBA MAYOR. 
          CAN I ASK YOU A SUPER QUICK QUESTION ABOUT NUMBER THREE OF OUR STAFF, UM, STAFF, CAN YOU HELP ME UNDERSTAND, IS THIS IMPLEMENTED, IS THIS SORT OF INVESTING SOME OF THE FIRST FUNDING THAT WE PROVIDED IN THIS YEAR'S BUDGET OR IS THIS IN ADDITION TO THE FUNDING THAT WE ALLOCATED IN THIS YEAR'S BUDGET FOR THE, UM, MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES DELIVERED THROUGH THE DOWNTOWN AUSTIN COMMUNITY COURT AND INTEGRAL CARE. 
          AND IF WE NEED TO WAIT AND GET THAT ANSWER TO ME LATER, THAT'S FINE. 
          I'M SUPPORTIVE OF IT. 
          SO I'M GOING TO SUPPORT IT EITHER WAY. 
          I THINK WE NEED, I THINK WE NEED THE MONEY THAT WE ALLOCATED THIS SUMMER IN ADDITION TO IT OTHER SO, BUT IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO, TO BETTER UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS ONE MONTH RENEWAL IS IN THE CONTEXT OF THE LARGER INVESTMENT MAYOR AND COUNCIL ROBERT KING IS BEING MOVED OVER AND WE'LL BE ABLE TO RESPOND TO THAT QUESTION. 
          THANK YOU. 
          IN THE MEANTIME, I WANT TO MAKE A COUPLE OF COMMENTS, UM, COUNCIL MEMBER FRONTIERS. 
          I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO BE ADDED TO YOUR ITEM IF THAT'S ACCEPTABLE TO YOU. 
          I VERY RARELY DO THAT, BUT I FEEL REALLY STRONGLY ABOUT THIS WHEN I THANK YOU ALSO FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP. 
          I'M SORRY. 
          I THINK I SAID THE WRONG NUMBER 51. 
          UM, FOR ALL THE REASONS THAT MY COLLEAGUES HAVE SAID, I KNOW RIGHT AFTER THE FLOODS, I WAS, I WAS ONE OF THE FOLKS DOWN THERE, UM, INTERACTING WITH AND VOLUNTEERING AND, AND HANDING OUT FOOD TO THOSE WHO ARE ARRIVING AFTER THE DEVASTATION THAT THEY'D EXPERIENCED IN THEIR HOMES. 
          AND IT WAS HORRIFIC. 
          AND I, UM, JUST GOSH, UH, AND THEN DRIVING THROUGH AND TALKING TO RESIDENTS WHO WERE TRYING TO CLEAN UP IN THOSE WEEKS AFTER WE WERE JUST, JUST AN EXPERIENCE I'LL NEVER FORGET. 
          AND SO I APPRECIATE, I APPRECIATE, UM, ALL THE BITTERSWEET, UM, ALL THE BITTERSWEET EMOTIONS THAT ARE GOING INTO THE CREATION OF THIS PARK, WHERE ONCE, UM, HOUSES WERE, AND, AND ALSO APPRECIATE THE PREVIOUS ACTION THAT YOU BROUGHT 
          [01:00:01]
TO REALLY COMMEMORATE AND HONOR AND RECOGNIZE, UM, THE LOSSES AND THE TRAGEDIES THAT TOOK PLACE IN THAT AREA. 
          BUT, BUT ALSO I'M EXCITED ABOUT THE PARK AND THE WAY IN WHICH NEW GENERATIONS OF FAMILIES IN THAT AREA WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO, TO CELEBRATE AND TO BE JOYFUL IN THAT SPACE AS WELL. 
          LET'S SEE. 
          I SEE MR. KINGDON, THANK YOU. 
          COULD YOU HELP ME UNDERSTAND BACK TO A DIFFERENT SUBJECT NUMBER THREE, AND WHETHER THIS IS THE INVESTMENT OF THE DOLLARS THAT THE, THAT WE WERE ABLE TO ALLOCATE THROUGH THIS YEAR'S BUDGET PROCESS, OR IF THIS IS IN ADDITION FUNDS, IN ADDITION TO THOSE THAT WE WERE ABLE TO DO, I THINK WE DID. 
          I THINK WE INVESTED SOME ADDITIONAL MONEY THROUGH OUR AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN DOLLARS. 
          SO I'D HAVE TO REALLY REMIND MYSELF I BROUGHT THE MEASURE, BUT NOW I CAN'T REMEMBER WHERE WE FOUND THE MONEY FROM. 
          I THINK IT WAS ARPA FUNDING, BUT, BUT IF NOT, IT WAS THROUGH, THROUGH SOME OTHER SOURCE, BUT CAN YOU HELP US UNDERSTAND, IS THIS, IS THAT, IS THIS, THAT FUNDING? IS THIS AFFECTING THAT THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THAT FUNDING OR IS IT IN ADDITION TO THAT FUNDING? THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER, TOVO ROBERT KING HOME WITH THE DOWNTOWN AUSTIN COMMUNITY COURT. 
          THIS ITEM IS TO, UM, EXTEND THE CONTRACT WITH THE FUNDING THAT WAS APPROVED DURING THE BUDGET PROCESS. 
          AND THIS FUNDING DID COME FROM THE ARPA FUNDING. 
          SO THIS ADDITIONAL, UM, FUNDING 311,467, UH, WOULD COME OUT OF THE OPERA FUNDING THAT WAS CARVED OUT FOR THE HOMELESS GIFTS RESPONSE. 
          SUPER THANK YOU. 
          AND JUST AS A REMINDER, AND MR. KINGDOM, I WOULD INVITE YOU TO PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. 
          THIS IS TO HELP THOSE 300 INDIVIDUALS. 
          I BELIEVE THE WAITLIST IS NOW UP TO ABOUT 300 INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS, ALSO IN NEED OF MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES AND HAVE EXPRESSED AN INTEREST IN RECEIVING THEM. 
          AND THEY ARE ON A WAITING LIST FOR THOSE SERVICES IS NOT ACCURATE. 
          YES, THAT IS ACCURATE. 
          THIS IS TO HELP US, UH, DECREASE IN THE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS ON OUR WAIT LIST HERE AT THE COMMUNITY COURT IN PARTNERSHIP, OF COURSE, WITH INTEGRAL CARE, BUT ALSO IN COLLABORATION WITH THE DOWNTOWN AUSTIN ALLIANCE, BECAUSE THEY ARE A PARTNER IN THIS PROGRAM AND ARE FUNDING A COMPARABLE AMOUNT TO THE CITY'S INVESTMENT. 
          SO IT'S EXTENDING THE REACH, UH, THROUGH THAT PARTNERSHIP TO SERVE INDIVIDUALS ON THE WAY IT LISTEN. 
          AND IT, AND IS IT ABOUT 300 STILL? IS THAT WAIT LIST A LOT ABOUT A 300. 
          YEAH. 
          YEAH. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          AND THANKS FOR, THANKS FOR YOUR WORK. 
          YOU KNOW, I COLLEAGUES, I JUST REGARD THIS AS AN AREA THAT NEEDS, THAT IS A HIGH, HIGH PRIORITY. 
          AND SO AS WE'RE ABLE TO, TO IDENTIFY ADDITIONAL FUNDING TO ME, THIS IS, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE FIRST PROGRAMS WE SHOULD LOOK TO, TO, TO PROVIDE THAT, THAT REALLY IMPORTANT, UM, HEALTHCARE TO INDIVIDUALS WHO, WHO ARE, ARE BOTH IN NEED OF IT, AND ALSO HAVE EXPRESSED AN INTEREST IN RECEIVING THOSE MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES. 
          AND I THINK THAT'S IT. 
          I THINK THAT WAS THE LAST THING I HAD TO SAY. 
          UH, NO ONE MORE, UM, MAYOR, I JUST WANT TO REALLY, I SEE SOME, I SEE, UH, DIRECTOR, UH, ROSKOW HERE FROM MEXICO PARTE AND, UM, BOARD MEMBERS DO AT HIRSCH. 
          AND I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THAT. 
          THIS IS AN EXCITING MOMENT TO SEE, TO SEE MEXICO DAY AT THIS STAGE OF THEIR, OF THEIR RENOVATION AT, UH, THEIR IMPORTANT COMMUNITY RESOURCE DOWNTOWN. 
          AND SO I, I AM WANTING TO, I JUST WANT TO AMPLIFY MAYOR ADLER'S CALL TO THE COMMUNITY TO SUPPORT THIS IMPORTANT COMMUNITY RESOURCE AS THEY UNDERTAKE THAT PROJECT AND, AND INVITE YOU TO HELP MAKE UP THAT PRIVATE, THAT GAP FROM, IN THEIR FUNDING TO GET THAT PROJECT COMPLETE SO THAT THEY CONTINUE DOING THEIR GOOD WORK COUNTER OF OCTOBER. 
          I THINK YOU THANKED EVERYBODY WITH RESPECT TO THE, I HAD TO GO CARE DA DOWNTOWN AUSTIN ALLIANCE AND DOWNTOWN COMMUNITY COURT, UH, INITIATIVE, EXCEPT YOURSELF. 
          YOU HAD TOOK AN INTEGRAL ROLE IN THOSE PARTIES COMING TOGETHER TO DO THAT. 
          SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP ABOUT AS WELL. 
          ALL RIGHT, COLLEAGUES, UH, WE HAVE OUR MOTION IN FRONT OF US. 
          UH, NOW , UM, MAYOR, I WOULD LIKE FOR US TO PASS, UM, THE CIVIL RIGHTS OFFICE OR THE CIVIL RIGHTS ORDINANCE ON CONSENTIVE FOSSIL, BUT I DID HAVE THIS ADDITIONAL, UH, DIRECTION. 
          I DID WANT TO ASK THE CIVIL RIGHTS OFFICER THREE QUESTIONS TO SORT OF CLARIFY THIS AND LAY OUT FOR THE PUBLIC, WHAT IT IS. 
          SO BASED ON WHAT YOU PREFER, I'M HAPPY TO HAVE IT HOT ON CONSENT OR HAPPY TO DO IT SHORTLY AFTER CONSENT BASED ON WHAT THE DICE WOULD LIKE. 
          GO AHEAD AND HAVE YOU DO THE DIRECTIONS OR THE DIRECTION CAN BE PART OF THE, UH, OKAY. 
          THAT SOUNDS GOOD. 
          SO, UM, THE CIVIL RIGHTS ORDINANCE, UH, WILL GIVE THE FULL POWER AND AUTHORITY TO CIVIL RIGHTS OFFICE, WHICH WE'RE SO PROUD TO HAVE, UM, TO, TO ADJUDICATE ISSUES, ENFORCER OUR RULES. 
          AND THAT'S SOMETHING WE'VE BEEN WORKING TOWARDS FOR A VERY LONG TIME, REALLY, UH, PROUD THAT WE HAVE MS. JOHNSON HERE. 
          THANK YOU FOR COMING 
          [01:05:01]
FROM OUT OF STATE TO HELP US WITH THIS. 
          THANK YOU MANAGER FOR ALL OF YOUR WORK, SETTING THIS UP AND TO A FORMER DEPUTY MANAGER RIVERA VANDERMEY FOR HER, FOR HER WORK ON THIS. 
          UM, WE'LL SEND HER A NOTE IN BOULDER THAT WE FINALLY GOT THIS, UH, GOT THIS DONE, UM, UH, IN TO, UM, PUTTING THIS FORWARD, YOU KNOW, OR THE PRO IT'S PRIMARILY IN THE ORDINANCES ARE OUR BEST ABILITY TO, UH, TO BETTER ENFORCE OUR CIVIL RIGHTS RULES. 
          BUT MS. JOHNSON ALSO IN OUR, THE ORDINANCE WE'RE PASSING TODAY, IT SEEMS TO EXPAND OUR ABILITY TO WORK ON SEXUAL HARASSMENT ISSUES. 
          AND I THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE A GOOD THING FOR YOU TO LAY OUT, UH, HERE TODAY. 
          YEAH. 
          CAN YOU, UM, THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          UM, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER CASAR FOR THE QUESTIONS, UM, UH, UM, MAYOR AND COUNCIL AND, UM, UH, CITY MANAGER CROCK. 
          UM, SO THE EXPANSIONS ARE COMING, UM, REALLY AS A RESULT OF WHAT WAS PASSED IN TEXAS LEDGE IN THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION, UH, THIS PAST SESSION, AND THAT IS TO EXPAND THE PROTECTIONS, UH, FOR SEXUAL HARASSMENT COMPLAINTS. 
          SO WHAT THAT WILL ACTUALLY DO IS INCREASE THE NUMBER OF DAYS THAT YOU HAVE TO FILE A COMPLAINT. 
          IF YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED SEXUAL HARASSMENT IN THE WORKPLACE TO 300 DAYS, UM, IT WILL ALSO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES, UM, THAT, UH, AN EMPLOYER HAS TO HAVE TO BE COVERED UNDER THE LAW. 
          SO IT WILL NOW BE ONLY A ONE EMPLOYER EMPLOYEE THAT NEEDS TO BE EMPLOYED. 
          UM, AND THEN LASTLY, IT, IT CALLS FOR AN IMMEDIATE AND CORRECTIVE ACTION FOR EMPLOYERS. 
          IF AN EMPLOYEE, UM, HAS A COMPLAINT AND FILES A COMPLAINT OF, OF, UH, SEXUAL HARASSMENT IN THE WORKPLACE, THANK YOU FOR THAT. 
          AND SO WE CONTINUE TO EXPAND OUR ABILITY TO PROTECT FOLKS. 
          I KNOW THIS WAS ACTUALLY A BILL BY REPRESENTATIVES WIENER HERE FROM THE NEARBY AREA AND SENATOR ZARINE. 
          AND SO WE, WE THANK THEM, BUT I THINK IT GOES TO SHOW THAT PREVIOUSLY OUR ORDINANCES ONLY COVERED, UM, PROTECTED FOLKS FROM SEXUAL HARASSMENT. 
          IF YOU WERE AT A BUSINESS AT 15 OR MORE, IF YOU'RE A BUSINESS AT 14, YOU DIDN'T HAVE THAT PROTECTION. 
          AND SO PART OF WHAT THIS, UM, DIRECTION DOES IS ASKS THE MANAGER, YOUR OFFICE, AND THE COMMUNITY TO COME TOGETHER, TO LOOK AT OTHER PLACES WHERE THERE ARE GAPS. 
          UM, ONE OF THE GAPS THAT WAS RAISED AS STAND INS FOR RACE. 
          SO FOR EXAMPLE, SOMEBODY APPLYING TO WORK WITH DACA, AS OPPOSED TO A STANDARD WORK AUTHORIZATION FORM, SOMEBODY COULD GET DENIED POTENTIALLY SAYING, WELL, IT'S BECAUSE YOU USE THIS FORM. 
          IT'S REALLY A STAND IN FOR OFTENTIMES FOR RACE OR FOR BEING COMING FROM AN IMMIGRANT FAMILY OR AROUND QUESTIONS OF HAIR AND HAIR TEXTURE. 
          THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN BROUGHT UP BY MEASURE. 
          AND SO, UM, FOR THOSE SORTS OF ISSUES, MY GENERAL UNDERSTANDING IS HERE AT THE CITY, WE HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING OF THOSE STANDARDS FOR RACE. 
          IT'S NOT ACCEPTABLE TO BE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST FOR THOSE. 
          RIGHT. 
          ABSOLUTELY. 
          I THINK IT WOULD BE REALLY GOOD BECAUSE I'VE GOTTEN THOSE QUESTIONS ABOUT HERE AT THE CITY. 
          IF THERE'S ANYTHING WE CAN DO AT HR OR THROUGH YOUR OFFICE TO LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT THINGS THAT ARE STANDARDS FOR RACE, LIKE WHICH FORM YOU USE TO APPLY, OR YOUR HAIR TEXTURE, THAT, THAT ISN'T, UM, YOU SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO BE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST AS A CITY, AS AN EMPLOYER HERE AT THE CITY. 
          AND THEN FOR US TO EXPLORE WHETHER OUT IN THE COMMUNITY AND PRIVATE BUSINESSES, WE COULD, WE COULD EXPAND OUR ORDINANCES TO DO THAT. 
          AND THEN THE LAST THING THAT THIS, UM, ASKS YOU TO DO IS TO TAKE A LOOK AT ANOTHER POTENTIAL GAP. 
          SO AS WAS BROUGHT UP BY PEOPLE THAT TESTIFIED, UM, IT, IT MAKES NO SENSE FOR YOU TO BE, AND IT'S ILLEGAL FOR YOU TO BE, THEY'LL LOSE YOUR JOB BECAUSE, OR BE DENIED A JOB BECAUSE OF YOUR RACE. 
          BUT IF YOU'RE DENIED THAT JOB BECAUSE OF YOUR RACE AND YOU'RE A CONTRACTOR, YOU MAY NOT ACTUALLY HAVE THOSE PROTECTIONS. 
          IT MAKES NO SENSE. 
          AND IT WOULD BE AWFUL FOR YOU TO BE DENIED ACCESS TO CHILDCARE CENTER BECAUSE YOU'RE AN LGBTQ FAMILY. 
          BUT IF THAT CHILDCARE CENTER HAS MORE THAN 15 EMPLOYEES, YOU'RE COVERED, IF THAT CHILDCARE CENTER HAS LESS THAN 14 EMPLOYEES, YOU MAY NOT BE COVERED, UM, UNDER ANY LAW. 
          AND SO THIS ESSENTIALLY DOESN'T SAY EXACTLY HOW THE ORDINANCE SHOULD BE WRITTEN OR EXACTLY AT WHICH EMPLOYEE THRESHOLDS, WHICH THINGS MAKE SENSE, BUT IT ASKS FOR THE COMMUNITY TO COME TOGETHER AND, AND FOR YOU ALL TO BRING BACK RECOMMENDATIONS, TO MAKE SURE THAT WE STAND OUT DISCRIMINATION IN ALL ITS FORMS IN ALL PLACES. 
          AND THE ABILITY OF US HAVING A LOCAL OFFICE HAS ALWAYS GIVEN US THAT AUTHORITY. 
          WE WENT OUT AHEAD AND PROTECTED PEOPLE WITH AIDS BEFORE THAT WAS, UM, PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV AIDS WERE PROTECTED AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL. 
          WE PROTECTED STUDENTS, WE PASSED FAIR CHANCE HIRING. 
          AND I THINK US CONTINUING TO LEAD IN THAT WAY THEN ALLOWS OTHER PLACES, UM, TO FOLLOW JUST LIKE WE SAW WITH, UH, WITH SEXUAL HARASSMENT AND REPRESENTATIVES, WINNERS WORK. 
          SO I, I REALLY APPRECIATE THIS APPRECIATE THE HARD WORK THAT YOU HAVE PUT IN. 
          AND THE LAW DEPARTMENT HAS PUT IN TO PUT THIS ORDINANCE TOGETHER. 
          I KNOW IT'S BEEN NO SMALL TASK, UH, THE HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION, EVERYBODY THAT'S BEEN WORKING ON IT. 
          I'M VERY, I'M JUST VERY HAPPY THAT AUSTINITES WILL KNOW WE'VE GOT THEIR BACK AND THEY'VE GOT A PLACE TO CALL IF THEY FACE HARASSMENT OR DISCRIMINATION, WHETHER THEY WORK HERE 
          [01:10:01]
AT THE CITY OR WORK IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR. 
          SO THANK YOU. 
          ABSOLUTELY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          IS THERE ANY OBJECTION TO, INCLUDING THIS DIRECTION AND NON ITEM, NUMBER 30 HEARING ON THAT DIRECTIONS? UH, UH, AND WITHOUT PILING ON TOO MUCH, ALSO WANT TO THANK COUNCIL MEMBER FLINT, THIS FOR THE WORK, UM, HERE ON ITEM 51, UH, AND MENTIONED THAT NOT ONLY SHOULD THE, UH, PUBLIC HELP OUT WITH, WITH BECKY GOT THAT, BUT WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT AN ITEM TO HAVE THE CITY HELP OUT WITH SOME OF THAT GAP, THE BEST THAT WE CAN AS WELL. 
          SO WE'LL, WE'LL KEEP YOU ALL POSTED. 
          OH, IT WAS OKAY TO PILE ON. 
          THAT'S BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION BEFORE WE TAKE A VOTE THOSE IN FAVOR, PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAT. 
          IT WAS OPPOSED. 
          IT IS, UH, UH, UNANIMOUS, UH, ON THE, UH, DESK. 
          I PASSES, I, COLLEAGUES LET'S WORK OUR WAY THROUGH, UH, SOME OF THE ODD CONSENT ITEMS. I THINK WE CAN DO TO, TO, TO CLEAR OUR WAY HERE. 
          UH, WE'RE GOING TO BEGIN WITH A, UH, UH, LET'S MOVE THROUGH, 
          [52. Approve the calendar Year 2022 Audit Plan.]
UH, 50 TO THE AUDIT AND FINANCE AUDIT, UH, PLAN, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER, HOW ALTERED YOU WANT TO MAKE THAT MOTION? SURE. 
          I'LL MOVE APPROVAL OF THE CALENDAR YEAR 22, UM, AUDIT PLAN. 
          YEAH, THERE WERE A POOL SECONDS THAT COLLEAGUES I HAVE, UH, UH, POSTED AND, UH, AN AMENDMENT, UH, THAT, UH, THE AUDITOR, UH, IS, UH, ACCEPTABLE AS A SPECIAL, UH, AUDIT. 
          IS THERE ANY OBJECTION TO, INCLUDING THAT AMENDMENT TO WHAT THAT IS? I HAVEN'T SEEN RELATES IT RELATES TO ASK YOU ABOUT IT OR TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE, UH, UH, TRAFFIC MITIGATION, UH, UH, EFFORTS THAT, UH, THE CITY CALLS FOR LOOK AT THE EFFECT OF DISTRICT, WHAT OTHER CITIES ARE DOING. 
          UH, AS WE WERE DOING MORE AND MORE DEVELOPMENT, THEY'RE COMING MORE AND MORE INTO PLAY. 
          AS WE ASK OUR COMMUNITY TO DO WORKING FROM HOME, TELL THE COMMUNITY, UH, TRANSITING, UH, INCENTIVES, ALL THOSE KINDS OF THINGS THAT OBJECTION, I'M SORRY. 
          GO AHEAD. 
          MERO. 
          I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY THAT, UM, THE AUDITOR HAS RECOMMENDED THAT WOULD BE A SPECIAL REQUEST, WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN DO, WHICH, UM, ALLOWS THE AUDITOR TO DO A CERTAIN NUMBER OF HOURS. 
          I'M GETTING INFORMATION. 
          IT'S NOT A SPECIAL AUDIT. 
          IT'S NOT AN AUDIT. 
          IT'S A INFORMATION GATHERING THAT THEY DO, THAT THEY CALL A SPECIAL REQUEST, UM, THAT I'M HAPPY TO CO-SIGN ON WITH YOU. 
          SOUNDS GOOD. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          WITHOUT OBJECTION, MEDICAID AND GETS INCLUDED IN FURTHER DISCUSSION. 
          I'M SORRY. 
          A SPECIAL REQUEST WOULD NOT BE PART OF THE AUDIT PLAN. 
          IT'S A SPECIAL WORD. 
          THE SPECIAL REQUEST. 
          YES. 
          BUT NOTING THAT AS PART, AND I THINK THE SPECIAL, I THINK IT'S FINE. 
          UM, IT'S JUST NOT PART OF THE AUDIT PLAN BECAUSE WE ALL DO SPECIAL REQUEST. 
          RIGHT. 
          I JOINED THE RECORD REFLECT WE'VE REQUESTED THIS ONE. 
          SO THAT IT'S OF THE RECORD THAT IT'S BEEN REQUESTED MAY. 
          I THINK IT'S FINE FOR IT TO BE PART OF THE RECORD. 
          IT JUST, WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE AN EXTRA AMENDMENT ON THE PLAN BECAUSE IT DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THAT. 
          AND ON THAT NORMALLY, JUST SO FOLKS KNOW FOR A SPECIAL REQUEST, IT JUST TAKES TWO COUNCIL MEMBERS IN CONSULTATION, UM, WITH THE AUDITOR TO, TO MAKE THAT REQUEST AND TO NARROW IT, IT DOESN'T HAVE TO REQUIRE A VOTE OF COUNCIL JUST FOR FUTURE. 
          GOT IT. 
          SO IN THE NATURE OF A DIRECTION OUTSIDE OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE AUDIT PLAN, AS WE JUST DID THE OTHER DEAL, I JUST WANT THE RECORD TO REFLECT TODAY. 
          VINOTS THAT THAT SPECIAL REQUEST HAS BEEN REQUESTED BY THE APPROPRIATE NUMBER OF PEOPLE AND THE AUDITOR'S GOING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT. 
          ANYTHING ELSE BESIDE HIM? I JUST, I JUST WANT TO, UM, THANK THE AUDITOR AND THE AUDITOR STAFF, UM, FOR ALL THE GREAT WORK THAT THEY DO, UM, HELPING US TO IMPROVE THE EFFECTIVENESS AND EFFICIENCY OF THE CITY. 
          UM, I THINK WE HAVE A VERY WIDE RANGE OF AUDITS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT THAT BUILD OFF OF PRIOR AUDITS, BUT ALSO ALLOW US TO, UM, LOOK INTO TWO CORNERS OF THE CITY THAT WE HAVEN'T LOOKED AT BEFORE. 
          UM, APPRECIATE THE EXTENSIVE PROCESS THAT THE AUDITOR GOES THROUGH TO, UM, YOU KNOW, SPEAK TO EACH COUNCIL MEMBER AND TO GET A SENSE OF WHERE THE WHOLE BODY IS IN TERMS OF PRIORITIES AND WORKING WITH CITY MANAGEMENT TO IDENTIFY THE APPROPRIATE TIMING FOR AUDITS SO THAT THEY CAN BE MOST, MOST EFFECTIVE. 
          YES. 
          GOING TO ADD TO, UM, TO THAT SPECIAL REQUEST. 
          UM, I KNOW THAT WHEN I WENT THROUGH THE PROCESS TO GET A SPECIAL REQUEST AUDIT DONE, I MET WITH THE AUDITOR AND ENSURED THAT SHE COULD PUT IT INTO THE SCHEDULE BECAUSE IT ADDED ADDITIONAL WORK TO HER WORKLOAD. 
          SO THAT MIGHT BE A CONSIDERATION THAT YOU, YOU TAKE, WE'VE DONE THIS WITH THE AUDITOR'S OFFICE AND IT'S IN PART 
          [01:15:01]
BECAUSE THOSE KINDS OF THINGS HAPPEN THAT I JUST WANTED THE COLLEAGUES TO KNOW THAT THIS WAS HAPPENING JOINED BY COUNCIL MEMBER ALTAR. 
          AND HAVING WORKED WITH THE AUDITOR HAD MAKING THIS PART OF THE WORK THAT'S BEING DONE BY THAT OFFICE OUTSIDE OF THE AUDIT PLAN AND THE NATURE OF A DIRECTION. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THAT'S INCLUDED THAT WAY. 
          UH, LET'S TAKE A, VOTE THOSE IN FAVOR OF THIS ITEM 52, PLEASE RAISE YOUR HEAD. 
          THAT WAS OPPOSED UNANIMOUS ON THE DIAS. 
          WE HAVE SOME, UH, 
          [Items 53 & 54]
EMINENT DOMAIN MATTERS, UH, WITH RESPECT TO ITEMS 53 AND 54 BEING, UH, NON-CONSENT CONDEMNATION ITEMS. IS THERE A MOTION TO THE EFFECT THAT THE CITY COUNCIL OF AUSTIN AUTHORIZES THE USE OF THE POWER OF EMINENT DOMAIN TO ACQUIRE THE PROPERTY SET FORTH AND DESCRIBED IN THE AGENDA FOR THE CURRENT MEETING FOR THE PUBLIC USES DESCRIBED THERE IN AS REMEMBER TOBO MAKES A MESSAGE MOTION. 
          IS THERE A SECOND FOR THAT COUNCIL MEMBER, RENTERIA SECONDS, ANY DISCUSSION THOSE IN FAVOR OF ITEMS 52 AND SORRY, 53 AND 54, PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND. 
          THOSE OPPOSED. 
          IT LOOKS LIKE IT. 
          THAT IS ALSO A UNANIMOUS ON THE, UH, ON THE DEUS. 
          LET'S GO AHEAD AND RECESS. 
          THE AUSTIN CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS. 
          WE CAN TAKE UP TO THE AUSTIN HOUSING FINANCE CORPORATION. 
          SO HERE AT, UH, 11, 10, UH, CITY COUNCIL MEETING IS, UH, UH, RECESSED.

          I'M REQUESTING THAT WE POSTPONE THE ITEM TO APRIL 21ST, 2022. 
          AND YOU JUST SAID THE ONE NUMBER, BUT YOU'RE COMBINING THEM RIGHT. 
          57 61 62. 
          I CAN'T TAKE UP THE ZONING MATTERS OF JUST HAVING 62 UNTIL AFTER 2:00 PM. 
          SO WE CAN'T TAKE ACTION ON THOSE YET. 
          UH, IN FACT, WE COULD WAIT, LET'S, LET'S JUST HOLD OFF ON 57, UH, TILL TWO O'CLOCK, WE'LL TAKE UP WITH ALL THESE MATTERS TOGETHER. 
          THAT'S A GOOD POINT. 
          MAYOR PRO TEM.

          IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE THOSE COUNTS? REMEMBER ELLIS MAKES THAT MOTION. 
          IS THERE A SECOND AND IT A SECOND COUNTS OVER KITCHEN SECONDS. 
          ANY DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM, 56 COUNTS, REMEMBER ELLIS. 
          I WOULD JUST LIKE TO MAKE SOME BRIEF COMMENTS OF APPRECIATION. 
          THIS IS AN ITEM THAT HAS COME OUT OF THE URBAN TRAILS STAKEHOLDER GROUP THAT WE STARTED MANY, MANY 
          [01:20:01]
MONTHS AGO. 
          AND I REALLY APPRECIATE THOSE STAKEHOLDERS. 
          THE PUBLIC WORKS, URBAN TRAIL STAFF AND WATERSHED PROTECTION STAFF. 
          THESE ARE SOME ORDINANCE UPDATES THAT HELP SMOOTH OUT THE PROCESS OF HOW URBAN TRAILS ARE BUILT, UM, YOU KNOW, WITHIN OUR PUBLIC DOMAIN AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH SOME OF OUR DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS. 
          AND SO THERE WERE SOME CONFLICTS THAT, THAT JUST NEEDED TO BE SMOOTHED OUT, AND EVERYBODY HAS BEEN WORKING VERY DILIGENTLY, UM, AND IS VERY COMMITTED TO MAKING THESE THINGS EASIER TO BUILD IN OUR COMMUNITY. 
          SO FOR THAT I'M GREATLY APPRECIATED APPRECIATIVE FOR ALL THAT HARD WORK. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, BEEN MOVED IN SECOND. 
          IT LET'S TAKE A VOTE ON THIS, UH, ITEM, UH, 56, THOSE IN FAVOR, PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND. 
          THOSE OPPOSED IT'S UNANIMOUS WITH THE COUNCIL MEMBER. 
          COSAR OFF THE, UH, THE DIOCESE, THE OTHERS VOTING AYE, 56 PASSES. 
          UH, WHAT ABOUT FLOODPLAIN VARIANCE 
          [58. Conduct a public hearing and consider an ordinance regarding floodplain variances for the construction of three parking spaces at 1512 W. Koenig Lane within the 25-year and 100-year floodplains of the Hancock Branch Tributary of Shoal Creek.]
ITEM NUMBER 58. 
          YES, I'M HERE. 
          MR. MAYOR, KEVIN SHUNK. 
          AND HEAR ME. 
          YES, WE CAN. 
          WE CAN SEE YOU AS WELL. 
          WONDERFUL. 
          THANK YOU. 
          I APPRECIATE IT. 
          MR. MAYOR, MAYOR POOP. 
          TEN-MINUTE COUNCIL MEMBERS. 
          MY NAME IS KEVIN SHUCK. 
          I AM THE CITY'S FLOODPLAIN ADMINISTRATOR AND I DON'T HAVE FOR YOU TODAY IS A FLOODPLAIN BARON SEQUESTERED AT 1512 WEST CANDIDATE LANE. 
          AND THERE IS A PRESENTATION SOMEWHERE IN THERE. 
          OKAY. 
          I HOPE SO. 
          THERE WE GO. 
          NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. 
          ALL RIGHT, NEXT SLIDE. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          SO THIS MATTER IN FRONT OF YOU MIGHT LOOK A LITTLE FAMILIAR BECAUSE TWO MONTHS AGO, WE TALKED TO HIM ABOUT A PROPERTY AT 1514 WEST CANAAN. 
          THESE TWO PROPERTIES ARE ADJACENT TO EACH OTHER. 
          SO THAT'S BURNETT ROAD RUNNING NORTH SOUTH ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SLIDE. 
          THAT'S LAMAR RUNNING NORTH SOUTH END, RIGHT SIDE OF THE SLIDE WITH CANUCK RUNNING EAST WEST THROUGH THE MIDDLE. 
          IT FLOODPLAINS THEY COULD, YOU CAN SEE THERE ARE THE 25 YEAR FLOOD, PLAIN THAT DARKER BLUE AND THE 100 YEAR FLOOD POINT IN A LIGHTER BLUE HANCOCK BRANCH ON THE LEFT SIDE, ROPER BRANCH ON THE RIGHT SIDE. 
          NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          SO SWIMMING INTO THE PROPERTY IN QUESTION 15, 12 WEST CANUCK LANG UH, THE 100 YEAR FLOOD PLAIN DEPTH AT THE PROPOSED PARKING AREAS IS ABOUT 1.5 FEET DEEP. 
          THE 25 YEAR FLOOD POINT IS THAT 1.2 FEET DEEP. 
          NOW THERE IS AN EXISTING BUILDING ON THIS PROPERTY AND THE BUILDING ITSELF IS A LITTLE MORE THAN A FOOT ABOVE THE 100 YEAR FLOOD PLAN. 
          NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. 
          SO THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IS TO ADD THREE PARKING SPACES TO THE PROPERTY, NO RENOVATION TO THE BUILDING ITSELF. 
          SO THE THREE PARKING SPACES WILL BE AT THE REAR OF THE PROPERTY AND THE FACT THAT THEY ENCROACHED IN THE 25 YEAR FLOOD PLAIN. 
          AND THE FACT THAT THE MAXIMUM DEPTH IS 1.5 FEET MEANS THAT STAFF CAN NOT APPROVE THIS APPLICATION ADMINISTRATIVELY. 
          THAT'S WHY WE ARE MAKING THE REQUEST, UM, FOR THE CITY COUNCIL VARIANTS. 
          UM, LIKE I SAID, THE EXISTING BUILDING ON A PROPERTY, UH, IS NOT PROPOSED TO BE, UH, ALTERED WITH THIS, WITH THIS, UH, APPLICATION. 
          UM, THE EXISTING BUILDING IS A RESIDENTIAL USE. 
          AND IF THE SITE PLAN IS APPROVED, THE BUILDING WILL BE CONVERTED TO A COMMERCIAL USE. 
          NOW WE HAVE HAD DISCUSSIONS WITH THE APPLICANT REGARDING THEIR INTENTIONS WITH RENT BASED POSSIBLE RENOVATIONS TO THE BUILDING, AND THEY ARE TELLING US THAT AT THIS TIME, THERE'S NO RENOVATIONS APPROVED, APPROVED, NO RENOVATION DESIRED FOR THE BILLING. 
          SO, UH, WE DID TALK WITH THEM ABOUT IF FUTURE RENOVATIONS ARE BROUGHT TO THE CITY, THEN THOSE RENOVATIONS MIGHT HAVE TO, IT MIGHT REQUIRE THE BUILDING TO COMPLY WITH THE FLOODPLAIN BREAK OF LICENSE. 
          SO AGAIN, AT THIS TIME, THERE'S NO NEED TO HAVE THE, HAVE THE BUILDING, UH, THE BUILDING SATISFIED THE POINT PLAN TO REGULATION, BUT IN THE FUTURE, IF THERE IS A SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT TO THE BUILDING AT THAT POINT IN TIME, THERE WOULD, THERE WOULD NEED TO BE SOME REQUIREMENTS TO THE BUILDING, LIKE ELEVATING THE BUILDING AND POSSIBLY TALKING ABOUT SAFE ACCESS OUT OF THE BUILDING. 
          NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. 
          SO THE THREE FERRETS REQUESTS ARE TO, UH, ENLARGE OR CHANGE TO THE USE OF THE PREMISES IN A WAY WHICH INCREASES THAT'S NON-CONFORMITY. 
          [01:25:02]
AND WE, WE PUT THAT IN THERE AS A BARRIER TO REQUEST BECAUSE THE PARKING DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THE WIND DEVELOPMENT CODE REQUIREMENTS. 
          IN ADDITION, THE DRAINAGE IS NOT VARIANCE TO EXCLUDE THE EXISTING BUILDINGS FOOTPRINT ON THE EASTLAND, AS WELL AS THE ENCROACHMENT OF THE PARKING AREA ON THE 25 AND 100 YEAR FLOOD PLAINS. 
          NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          WE HAVE TALKED WITH THE APPLICANT AND THEY HAVE A BREAK TO PUT IN SOME FLOOD WARNING SIGNAGE ON THE PROPERTY TO ALERT THE PEOPLE THAT ARE PARKING IN THOSE AREAS THAT IT IS WITHIN A FLOOD AREA. 
          AND SO THAT THEY'RE AWARE OF THE FLOODING POTENTIAL THAT COULD BE AT THAT SITE. 
          NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. 
          SO THIS DEVELOPMENT OF THIS, THESE PARKING AREAS DOES NOT CAUSE ADVERSE FLOODING ANOTHER PROPERTIES THAT APPLICANT HAS SUBMITTED INFORMATION TO US THAT PROVE THAT, AND WE AGREE WITH THEIR INFORMATION. 
          HOWEVER, THE PARKING DOESN'T MEET THE CODE REQUIREMENTS AS FAR AS THE MAXIMUM DEPTH WITHIN A HUNDRED YEAR FLOOD PLAIN. 
          UM, SO THAT'S ONE OF THE, ONE OF THE FINDINGS THAT WE HAVE AND THE HEARTS AND MEDICINAL PROPERTY DOES NOT EXIST. 
          AND THE REASON WHY WE SAY THAT IS BECAUSE TECHNICALLY THERE COULD BE A STRUCTURAL ELEMENT THAT WOULD ELEVATE THESE PARKING AREAS AT A FLOOD POINT. 
          THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED NEXT DOOR. 
          UM, HOWEVER, THIS DEVELOPMENT THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE, 15, 12 IS A VERY MINOR DEVELOPMENT. 
          THEY'RE NOT PROPOSING ANY CHANGES TO THE BUILDING ITSELF SO THAT, UH, INCLUDING STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS WOULD BE, UM, UH, ABOVE AND BEYOND THE COSTS THAT THEY, UH, WERE WANTING TO DO WITH THIS, WITH THIS REDEVELOPMENT, SINCE WE'RE JUST TALKING ABOUT PARKING SPACES AND IT, THE MAXIMUM DEPTH IS 1.5 FEET, WHICH IS JUST OVER ADMINISTRATIVE APPROVAL DEPTH. 
          UM, THE FLOOD RISK IS RELATIVELY LOW. 
          AS WE SPOKE TWO MONTHS AGO, THE VELOCITIES IN THERE IN THIS AREA ARE RELATIVELY LOW. 
          SO THE FLOOD RISK BEING LOW IN THE DEVELOPMENT DEVELOPMENT ITSELF BEING THE MINIMAL NECESSARY STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THIS FLOOD, PLAIN GRANTS. 
          NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. 
          SO THERE IS A ACTUALLY ONE CONDITION ON THE, ON THE DRAFT ORDINANCE AND THAT'S THE CONDITION ABOUT THE DRAINAGE EASEMENT? UM, THERE IS NOT A CONDITION ABOUT THE FLOOD WARNING SIZE THAT HAS BEEN REMOVED. 
          AND I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO REQUEST MR. MAYOR, IF ITEM FOUR B CAN BE STRICKEN FROM THE DRAFT ORDINANCE, THAT'S IN YOUR PACKET BECAUSE THERE'S NOT A NEED FOR THE ELEVATORS TO CERTIFICATE SINCE THEY'RE NOT PROPOSING ANY CHANGES TO THE BUILDING ITSELF. 
          SO ITEM FOUR, PART FOUR B FROM THE DRAFT ORDINANCE CAN BE STRICKEN ANY OBJECTION TO THE STRIKING PART FOUR B FROM THE ORDINANCE. 
          I'M SORRY. 
          SAY AGAIN, I'M ASKING THE, MY, MY COLLEAGUES ON THE DYES, IF THERE'S ANY OBJECTION TO STRIKING THAT PART OF THE ORDINANCE, AS YOU JUST RECOMMENDED HEARING NONE, THE REQUIREMENT FOR, UH, UH, BECAUSE IT'S NOT HAPPENING IS REMOVED. 
          WE DON'T, I DON'T THINK MAYOR, I DON'T THINK WE HAVE A MOTION YET. 
          OH, OKAY. 
          THAT'S RIGHT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          YEAH, I'M DONE. 
          IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'M HERE TO ANSWER THEM. 
          IF THE APPLICANT, I, I THINK THEY HAVE SIGNED ON AS WELL. 
          I KNOW THEY SPOKE EARLIER THIS MORNING. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          I'M GOING TO, I'M GOING TO GIVE THE APPLICANT A CHANCE TO SEEK, THEN WE'LL COME BACK AND HAVE THE MOTION, THEN WE'LL MAKE THAT AMENDMENT. 
          EXACTLY THE QUESTION. 
          OKAY. 
          I WANT TO DO IT BEFORE THE APPLICANTS TO ASK THEM, JUST HAVE A QUICK QUESTION ON THE SIGNAGE. 
          SO, UM, IS IT POSSIBLE TO, UM, FOR THE SIGNAGE TO BE SEEN, UM, AFTER DARK? SO I WOULD JUST NOT WANT SOMEONE TO END UP PARKING IN THIS SPACE AFTER DARK AND MISSING THE SIGNAGE. 
          I DON'T KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT HOW THOSE SIGNS ARE PUT TOGETHER OR THE MATERIALS OR ANYTHING, BUT IS THAT PART OF THE, OF THE, UM, REQUIREMENT? I THINK THAT THE SIGN DESIGN DOES INCLUDE A REFLECTIVE MATERIAL, BUT I CAN DEFINITELY CONFIRM THAT AND MAKE SURE THAT THAT'S PART OF THE SITE POINT ITSELF. 
          YEAH, I THINK THAT WOULD BE IMPORTANT, UH, JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE MAY NOT, NOT NOTICE THAT SIGN IF THEY'RE PULLING IN THERE AFTER DARK. 
          OKAY, GREAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          OKAY. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER, PAUL, DO YOU WANT TO SPEAK BEFORE WE HAVE THE APPLICANT? SEE IF THERE'S SOMETHING THEY WANT TO SAY? YEAH. 
          UM, I FIRST I WANTED TO THANK, UM, KEVIN SHANK AND HIS TEAM FOR A REALLY GOOD, UM, PRESENTATION. 
          IT WAS PRETTY COMPREHENSIVE. 
          THIS IS IN MY DISTRICT. 
          UM, AND I'M SUPPORTIVE OF, UH, THE STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION, INCLUDING REMOVING, UM, SECTION FOUR B AND I APPRECIATED THE, UM, COLLABORATION WITH THE APPLICANT AND WE HAPPY TO MAKE THE MOTION AFTER WE HEAR FROM THE APPLICANT, IF HE'S HERE, 
          [01:30:06]
THE APPLICANT. 
          YEAH. 
          YEAH, IT IS. 
          IT IS THE APPLICANT IN THE ROOM OR ON THE PHONE ANSWERED THAT SNOW MAY HAVE SPOKEN EARLIER ON THE ISSUE. 
          SO, SO I, I MAKE THAT MOTION, UM, AND WITH, UH, DROPPING OUT A SECTION 14 SECOND, MY POOL MAKES A MOTION SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER ELLIS, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND. 
          THOSE OPPOSED ANONYMOUS ON THE, UH, ON THE, ON THE DESK. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU FOR SHARING, UH, COLLEAGUES. 
          UM, MAY I ASK, I MEANT TO MENTION THIS BEFORE. 
          I ALSO WANTED TO THANK MR. SHANK BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, IT WOULD BE VERY RARELY HAVE A RECOMMENDATION FROM OUR STAFF TO PASS, TO, TO, UM, PASS A VARIANCE ON A FLOODING. 
          AND SO THANK YOU FOR EXPLAINING YOUR RATIONALE AND YOUR REASONING ON THIS ONE. 
          UM, THAT WAS KIND OF MY IMMEDIATE QUESTION. 
          WHEN I SAW THIS IN THE BACKUP, I WOULD ALSO BE INTERESTED IN JUST A KIND OF A 10 YEAR LOOK AT A VERY HIGH LEVEL AT THE PASSAGE OF FLOODPLAIN VARIANCES. 
          YOU KNOW, IT USED TO BE THAT THESE DID NOT PASS VERY FREQUENTLY. 
          AND I WAS REFLECTING THE OTHER DAY WHEN I SAW THIS IN OUR BACKUP ON, ON THE FACT THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT WE'VE HAD TWO HISTORIC AND AS WE DISCUSSED EARLIER, VERY DEVASTATING FLOODS IN THIS COMMUNITY. 
          WE'VE, WE'VE ACTUALLY, UM, AS A CITY, AS A COUNCIL PASSED VARIOUS FLOODPLAIN VARIANCES FOR RESIDENTIAL HOUSING. 
          AND, AND I JUST WANT TO REFLECT A BIT ON THAT, ESPECIALLY AS WE KNOW, OUR, OUR COMMUNITY IS GOING TO BE FACING MORE EXTREME WEATHER EVENTS. 
          I JUST, UM, I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE KIND OF A, JUST A REALLY BRIEF OVERVIEW OF, OF THE NUMBERS, KIND OF WHAT THOSE LOOKED LIKE. 
          AND I DON'T KNOW THE BEST MEANS FOR DOING THIS IF THIS IS AN IFC OR IS, OR IF THIS IS, UH, SUCH A RELATIVELY SMALL INFORMATION REQUEST, BUT MAYBE YOU CAN GET BACK TO ME ON THAT, BUT IT DOES CAUSE ME PAUSE EVERY TIME WE SEE THESE IN OUR, IN OUR AGENDA, BUT I AGREE AND, AND, UM, SUPPORT THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION ON THIS. 
          BUT AGAIN, I APPRECIATE YOU PROVIDING THAT ADDITIONAL CONTEXT TO REALLY HELP US UNDERSTAND WHAT, UM, WHAT YOUR RATIONALE WAS, WHICH I THINK IS EXTREMELY REASONABLE. 
          AND I KNOW YOU'RE A VERY HAVE SAFETY, UM, YOU KNOW, AS YOUR TOP MOST CONCERN. 
          AND I APPRECIATE THE PERSPECTIVE YOU BRING TO, I APPRECIATE THAT. 
          AND AS I WILL WORK WITH THE CITY MANAGER TO, UH, COME UP WITH A FORUM, WHETHER THAT BE A PRESENTATION OR A MEMO TO TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE, ABOUT MAYBE THE HISTORY OF FLOODPLAIN BALANCES, WHETHER THAT BE FOR THE PAST 10 YEARS, BUT MAYBE IF THERE, SINCE THE REGULATIONS EXISTED. 
          SO MANAGERS, HOW YOU SHAKING YOUR HEAD DOESN'T APPEAR AS IF YOU NEED MY AFC IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT WORK. 
          SO THANK YOU. 
          OKAY. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          THAT ITEM HAS BEEN PASSED ON TO OUR POLL. 
          OKAY, THANKS. 
          YEAH. 
          I JUST WANTED TO ADD IN THAT, UM, I APPRECIATE THE ADDITIONAL REQUEST FOR INFORMATION FROM MR.  REALLY HELPFUL, AND ALSO KNOW THAT THE FLOODS THAT WE HAVE, UM, IN THE SOUTH PART OF THE CITY, ON THE, ON THE SOUTH PART OF THE RIVER VERSUS, UM, FOR EXAMPLE, SHOAL CREEK, THEY SEEM TO HAVE DIFFERENT VELOCITIES AND VOLUME AND CERTAINLY DIFFERENT, VERY DIFFERENT IMPACTS. 
          AND I THINK BECAUSE I, I WAS, UH, ONE OF THE RELUCTANT IN FACT, UH, PROBABLY RARELY WOULD APPROVE A FLOODPLAIN VARIANCES. 
          AND, UH, THE FIRST YEARS OF MY COUNCIL TENURE, PRIMARILY BECAUSE THE, A LOT OF THE PROPERTIES WE WERE LOOKING AT WERE ON, FOR EXAMPLE, WILLIAMSON CREEK, UM, SHOAL CREEK, UH, PARTICULARLY IN THE AREAS, UH, AROUND THE GROVER AND HANCOCK BRANCHES IN DISTRICT SEVEN, HAVE A SOMEWHAT DIFFERENT TOPOGRAPHY AND GEOLOGY. 
          AND, AND WHILE I UNDERSTAND THAT KIND OF INTUITIVELY, IT'D BE REALLY HELPFUL TO GET A SENSE OF, UM, THE IMPACTS FROM OUR EXPERTS ON THE STAFF. 
          SO THANK YOU TO COUNCIL MEMBER TOVA FOR MAKING THAT REQUEST. 
          I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING THE INFORMATION THAT WE GET FROM, FROM MR. SHANK AND HIS TEAM. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          HOW LONG IS IT IS ALMOST 1130. 
          UH, REALLY THE ONLY THING I AM WE CAN TAKE UP RIGHT NOW IS TO GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION TO EITHER TO AT LEAST BEGIN OR MAYBE COMPLETE, UH, THE CONVERSATION ABOUT THE CITY CLERK.

          ALL RIGHT. 
          SO WITH THAT, 
          [01:35:01]
UH, THE CITY

          UM, UH, THERE'S BEEN AN ISSUE THAT CAME UP WITH AUSTIN MEMORIAL PARK CEMETERY. 
          UH, THERE'S BEEN A PROPOSAL TO THE PARKS DEPARTMENT THAT I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT. 
          UH, IT'S CALLED A PRAIRIE RESTORATION PROPOSAL, BUT THIS PROPOSAL VIOLATES STATE LAW, A DEDICATED CEMETERY PROPERTY SHALL BE USED EXCLUSIVELY FOR CEMETERY PURPOSES UNTIL THE DEDICATION IS REMOVED BY A COURT ORDER. 
          AND THAT'S UNDER UNDER HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE. 
          UH, HERE'S ANOTHER LOSS, SEVEN 13.011 NUMBER THREE, DOWN THERE PROPERLY. 
          THE CITY'S RESPONSIBLE FOR PROPERLY MAINTAINING LAWN SHRUBBERY AND OTHER PLANTS. 
          UH, THE PERRY RESTORATION PROPOSAL IS AN AWFUL IDEA. 
          A SMALL, ONLY A SMALL THREE PEOPLE FROM, UH, AROUND AUSTIN MEMORIAL HAS APPROACHED THE PARTNER DEPARTMENT WITH HIS PROPOSAL. 
          THE PART SAYS IT'S TEMPORARY, BUT IT'S GOING TO LAST FOR 50 TO A HUNDRED YEARS. 
          AND IT'S HARDLY TEMPORARY. 
          THE PART DIRECTOR AND EMPLOYEES ARE ENTERTAINING AN ILLEGAL USE OF AUSTIN MEMORIAL PARK BY GIVING AWAY PUBLIC CEMETERY LAND FOR NON CEMETERY. 
          USE THE PROPOSAL ENVISIONS THIS TYPE OF SCENE IN AUSTIN MEMORIAL PARK, WHICH HAS HUGE AMOUNTS OF WEEDS AND, AND GROW GROWTH WITH WALKING TRAILS THROUGH IT. 
          UH, NO MOWING IS AGAINST STATE LAWS. 
          WE SAW EARLIER, UM, EXCUSE ME, LET ME GO BACK. 
          OH, GOOD CEMETERY DOES NOT SUFFER THIS TYPE OF ENCROACHMENT. 
          UH, AND I THINK WE OUGHT TO TREAT ALL CEMETERIES THE SAME, RATHER THAN JUST PARSING OUT AUSTIN MEMORIAL, UH, FOR ENCROACHMENTS, PLEASE HONOR. 
          THE SACRED PLACE, RESPECT THE FAMILIES, NO ENCROACHMENTS SO FAR OR SUCCESSFUL BETWEEN 1927 AND THE PRESENT THE ENTIRE AWESOME MEMORIAL PARK WAS DEDICATED CEMETERY BY THE CITY COUNCIL. 
          IN 1992, WE ASKED THERE BE NO PRAIRIE RESTORATION IN AWESOME MEMORIAL PARK. 
          IT'S NOT NEEDED BECAUSE PEOPLE COULD GO IN THERE AND WALK ANYWAY. 
          UH, THAT'S RESPECT OUR ELDERS WHO CANNOT SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES. 
          MR. MAYOR, THIS IS YOUR SYNAGOGUE CEMETERY, PLEASE PROTECT IT. 
          AND MR. KROENKE, PLEASE STOP THIS PROPOSAL. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          I'LL CALL AGAIN, ANGELA. 
          GARS UP MR. BROSY COMING UP.

          I LIVE IN, UH, PHOTO FIVE, ALEXANDRA DRIVE, THAT'S SELF, UH, WEST AUSTIN BETWEEN BRODY AND COPANO AND WE HAVE A MASSIVE SPEEDING PROBLEM ON OUR STREET. 
          AND THERE'S A LITTLE HISTORY TO THIS. 
          I REACHED OUT TO THE CITY OR I, AND WE REACHED OUT TO THE CITY AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD, UM, ABOUT OVER A YEAR AGO, LIKE 16 MONTHS, 17 MONTHS AGO, AND WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN REALLY MUCH TRACTION ON IT. 
          UM, I REACHED OUT PERSONALLY PAGE TO YOU AND SPENCER. 
          I REACH OUT TO YOU AS WELL. 
          UM, THE RESULT REALLY WAS THAT I TALKED TO ERIC BOLICK, UH, AND ALISON MILLS, AND, UM, THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT WE HAVE A PROBLEM, UH, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, 
          [01:40:01]
WHAT THEY PROPOSED, WHAT WE CAN DO IS REALLY NOT HELPING OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          AND I WANT TO MAKE CLEAR WHAT WE'RE CONCERNED ABOUT OR WHAT THE ISSUE IS. 
          AND OUR STREET, THIS IS ALEXANDRIA DRIVE, RIGHT? THIS LONG STARTS WITH A CURVE UNCLE PANEL THIS LONG YELLOW LINE, APPARENTLY, RIGHT? UM, THOSE LITTLE CURVE ON THE BEGINNING, THEN IT GOES A VERY LONG AND WIDE TO THE NEXT CURVE, THEN ANOTHER CURVE. 
          AND IT ENDS UP BRODY LANE. 
          AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, SPEEDING OCCURS, NOT IN THE CURVES. 
          IT OCCURS PRETTY MUCH ON THE STRAIGHT. 
          AND THIS IS THE STRAIGHT THAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. 
          THIS IS THE LONG, STRAIGHT ON ALEXANDRIA DRIVE AND CARS ARE FLYING BY. 
          PEOPLE ARE AFRAID TO LET THEIR KIDS ON THE STREET. 
          UM, I PERSONALLY, UH, WITNESSED AN ACCIDENT WITH THE DOG. 
          A DOG GOT RUN OVER, UH, PRETTY MUCH IN FRONT OF ME. 
          UH, MY NEIGHBOR WITNESSED A CAR, UH, RAN OVER A BICYCLE RIDER THAT WAS ON THOSE TWO OCCASIONS. 
          SO PRETTY MUCH IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT WIDE, LONG STREET, LIKE I SAID, I TALKED TO ERIC, UH, AND, AND ALISON, AND THEY WANTED TO DO SOMETHING. 
          I DON'T KNOW WHY, HOW THEY COME UP WITH THIS, BUT THEY PROPOSED, OR WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO IS THEY GET TO A STOP SIGN HERE AND A STOP SIGN THERE. 
          THAT'S NOT REALLY GONNA HELP US AREA. 
          UM, UM, ERIC SAID THAT THEY HAVE A RECORD OF AN ACCIDENT ON THIS, ON THE SECOND ONE, THE KRAFT WOULD, THAT'S WHY THEY DO IT THERE. 
          THEY APPARENTLY DON'T HAVE A RECORD OF THE BICYCLE RIDER. 
          SO I THINK IT'S REAL EASY, HOW YOU GUYS CAN HELP US. 
          IF WE DELETE ALL OF THIS, IF WE DID A SPEED LIMIT OF 25 MILES AN HOUR, IT WOULD HELP US A LITTLE BIT. 
          AND IT'S SUPER EASY. 
          AND IT'S SUPER CHEAP TO DO. 
          IF WE DID A STOP SIGN HERE IN THE MIDDLE OF ALEXANDRIA DRIVE, THAT WOULD EVEN BE BETTER OR A STOP SIGN THERE, OR BOTH WOULD HELP US A LOT, OR WHICH IS RIGHT ACROSS FROM BRODY LANE HAPPENING OR WHAT THEY DID. 
          AND IT'S SUPER EASY. 
          THEIR SPEED HOME HERE, SPEED DOWN THERE. 
          IT WAS JUST ONE THAT WOULD HELP US A LOT. 
          SO PRETTY MUCH I'M HERE TO TELL YOU, PLEASE LOOK AT THIS AGAIN, AND IT'S YOUR DECISION IF IT'S TRAFFIC OR PEOPLE IN OUR KIDS, WHAT'S MORE IMPORTANT. 
          AND YEAH, I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME AND YOU DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT. 
          THANKS SO MUCH. 
          THANK YOU. 
          I JUST QUICKLY, MR. BROS WANT TO SAY THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING AND TAKING TIME OUT OF YOUR DAY TO PRESENT THIS. 
          I KNOW WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR A LONG TIME. 
          WE ALL WANT THESE IMPROVEMENTS TO HAPPEN MUCH QUICKER AND MUCH SAFER FOR PEOPLE, BUT YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD ABSOLUTELY HAS TOO MUCH. 
          CUT-THROUGH TRAFFIC, BIG WIDE LANES, AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. 
          SO WE ARE COMMITTED TO CONTINUING TO WORK WITH YOU TO FIND A WORKABLE SOLUTION FOR THIS. 
          AND I, I HOPE IT'S THE RIGHT SOLUTIONS. 
          MY MAY I SAY THIS AGAIN? BECAUSE ERIC SAID, WELL, THEY WERE THINKING ABOUT NARROWING DOWN THE STREET ON ALEXANDER, WHICH IS ALSO NOT GOING TO HELP US BECAUSE CARS ARE PARKED THERE ALREADY. 
          THEY ARE NARROWING DOWN THE STREET AND THE SPEEDING OCCURS. 
          THAT'S MULTIPLE FOOTAGE ON MY SECURITY CAMERAS, CARS FLYING BY, AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS TERRIFIED BY, YOU KNOW, THEIR KIDS WALKING ON THE STREET AND WALKING THEIR DOGS. 
          IT'S JUST NOT RIGHT. 
          RIGHT. 
          COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU. 
          AND THANK YOU. 
          SO THANKS SO MUCH. 
          THANK YOU. 
          IS RYAN KAGAN HERE? COME ON DOWN. 
          AND WHILE YOU WERE COMING DOWN, HERE IS A JOB. 
          NEW. 
          HERE YOU GO. 
          YOU'LL BE UP NEXT. 
          THANKS FOR HAVING ME TODAY. 
          I'M HERE SPEAKING AS THE CITY TO PASS A RESOLUTION FOR EQUAL SHARED PARENTING CHILDREN OFTEN SUFFER EMOTIONALLY AND PSYCHOLOGICALLY AFTER DIVORCE OR SEPARATION BECAUSE ONE PARENT, USUALLY THE FATHER IS MINIMIZED, FORCEFULLY, DISENGAGED, AND HAVE SUBSTANTIALLY LESS TIME THAN THE OTHER PARENTS. 
          AND ACCORDING TO RESEARCH, THIS CREATES A FATHERLESS CHILD RESEARCH BY DR. 
          WILLIAM FIREBASE SHOWS THAT CHILDREN FEEL REJECTED AND UNWANTED BY THE PARENTS. 
          AND THE EFFECTS ON THESE CHILDREN ARE DISASTROUS SOCIETY AND POLICY MAKERS HAVE LONG THOUGHT. 
          MOTHERS SHOULD BE THE PRIMARY CAREGIVER AND FATHERS WERE NOT IMPORTANT IN CHILD REARING, WHICH HAS HAD DEVASTATING EFFECTS ON OUR SOCIETY, FORCING WOMEN OUT OF THE WORKPLACE AND OUT OF THE LIVES OF THEIR CHILDREN. 
          NEW RESEARCH SHOWS THAT FATHERS PLAY AN EQUALLY IMPORTANT ROLE AS MOTHERS, DR. 
          LINDA NIELSEN RESEARCH, THE IMPORTANCE OF THE FATHER DAUGHTER RELATIONSHIP AND HOW THE FATHER DAUGHTER BOND AND EARLY LIFE THROUGH ADULTHOOD BENEFITED WOMEN. 
          THERE ARE NO LAWS IN TEXAS THAT GIVE PARENTS 50 50 TIME AND NON CUSTODIAL PARENT GETS ON AVERAGE 10 NIGHTS A MONTH DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR BIASES IN SOCIETY, MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR MINORITY MEN TO BE INVOLVED IN THEIR CHILDREN'S LIVES. 
          AND IT DIRECTLY AFFECTS THE OUTCOME OF MANY CHILD CUSTODY CASES INVOLVING BLACK FATHERS, A STEP-PARENT RELATIVE OR NEW PARTNER OF THE CUSTODIAL PARENT HAS MORE TIME WITH THE CHILD AND THE NON-CUSTODIAL PARENTS. 
          AND THE NON-CUSTODIAL PARENT CAN EASILY BE ERASED FROM THE CHILDREN'S LIVES. 
          ACCORDING TO THE DOCUMENTARY ERASING FAMILY, 22 MILLION PARENTS IN THE UNITED STATES ARE ERASED FROM THEIR CHILDREN'S LIVES. 
          AND IT IS A RESULT OF OUR CUSTODY LAWS. 
          I TOO COULD HAVE ANY RIGHTS FOR MY CHILD'S LIFE. 
          IF I DID NOT HAVE THE RESOURCES AND MONEY TO HIRE AN ATTORNEY AND CONTRIBUTE TO THIS $50 BILLION INDUSTRY, 
          [01:45:01]
WE MUST HAVE OUR POLICE OFFICES ENFORCED TEXAS PENAL CODE 25 0 3 AS WELL. 
          IT IS A FELONY TO WITHHOLD THE CHILD IN A POLICE OFTEN SAY IT IS A CIVIL MATTER. 
          IT IS NOT TODAY. 
          THE FEDERAL PROGRAM TITLE FOUR DA CONTINUES THIS IDEA THAT BOTH PARENTS ARE NOT IMPORTANT. 
          AND I SENT ADVISE THE STATE'S REDUCED TIME WITH ONE PARENTS AND MAXIMIZE HOW MUCH STATES RECEIVE FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. 
          IT STATES THE PRESIDING JUDGES AND THE TITLE FOUR D AGENCY SHE'LL ACT AND ARE AUTHORIZED TO TAKE ANY ACTION NECESSARY TO MAXIMIZE THE AMOUNT OF FEDERAL FUNDS AVAILABLE UNDER THE TITLE FOUR D PROGRAM. 
          THIS $50 BILLION INDUSTRY IS NOT IN THE BEST INTEREST OF OUR CHILDREN AND THE ARTICLE BY DR. 
          EDWARD CROCK PHD, TITLE, FATHER ABSENCE, FATHER DEFICIT, FATHER HUNGER. 
          HE STATES, WHEREAS PARENTS IN GENERAL ARE NOT SUPPORTED AS PARENTS BY OUR SOCIAL INSTITUTIONS. 
          DIVORCED FATHERS IN PARTICULAR ARE OFTEN DEVALUED, DISPARAGED, AND FORCEFULLY DISENGAGED FROM THEIR CHILDREN'S LIVES. 
          RESEARCHERS HAVE FOUND THAT FOR CHILDREN, THE RESULTS ARE NOTHING SHORT OF DISASTROUS, ALONG A NUMBER OF DIMENSIONS, CHILDREN CONSISTENTLY REPORT FEELING ABANDONED WHEN THEIR FATHERS ARE NOT INVOLVED IN THEIR LIVES. 
          FOLLOW THIS CHILDREN HAVE MORE DIFFICULTIES WITH SOCIAL ADJUSTMENT, BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS. 71% OF HIGH SCHOOL. 
          DROPOUTS ARE FATHERLESS 85% OF YOUTH IN PRISON. 
          HAVE AN ABSENT FATHER. 
          THANK YOU. 
          YOU COULD CONCLUDE. 
          THANK YOU, MS.  GOOD AFTERNOON. 
          CITY MANAGER, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. 
          I'M JOELLE MCNEIL, AND I'M THE BOARD PRESIDENT OF SAFE HORNS HERE TO PRESENT SAFE. 
          WARREN'S PETITION ON BEHALF OF OUR MEMBERS, SUPPORTERS AND RESPECTFULLY REQUESTS. 
          A PLAN OF ACTION, DEFINITIVE TIMELINE ON THE LIGHTING IMPROVEMENTS FROM 2017 LIGHTING STUDY AND RESOLUTION 180 4 FROM 2019 RELATED TO SAFETY MEASURES, INCLUDING IMPROVED LIGHTING, EMERGENCY CALL BOXES, HALO CAMERA SYSTEMS, AND IMPROVED CAMPUS SAFETY COMMUNICATION. 
          ALL IN REGARDS TO WEST CAMPUS AND THE UT AUSTIN CAMPUS COMMUNITY. 
          THE LAST FEW PAGES OF OUR PETITION, WE DID PROVIDE THE PDF FOR OUR PETITION, BUT THE LAST FEW PAGES INCLUDE WHY PEOPLE SIGNED THE PETITION. 
          I LIVE IN WEST CAMPUS AND IT'S WAY TOO DANGEROUS. 
          ALL STUDENTS SHOULD FEEL SAFE WALKING TO AND FROM DORMS, APARTMENTS HOUSES AND SURROUNDING RESTAURANTS OR BUILDINGS CLOSE TO CAMPUS, NO OTHER CAMPUSES IN THE STATE OF TEXAS THAT FACE THIS KIND OF CRIME. 
          IT'S TIME TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE ONCE. 
          AND FOR ALL, I'M A PARENT OF A U2 SOPHOMORE LIVING IN WEST CAMPUS. 
          SHE'S OUR SECOND DAUGHTER TO ATTEND UT AND LIVE IN THAT AREA. 
          WE'VE SEEN CRIME SETS INCREASE WITH NO ONE IN AUTHORITY, TAKING REAL ACCOUNTABILITY FOR PROTECTIVE MEASURES IN THE AREA. 
          WE WANT TO KNOW THAT OUR STUDENTS WILL BE SAFE. 
          MY DAUGHTER IS ATTENDING HER DREAM SCHOOL AT UT AUSTIN. 
          I'M REGRETTING THE DECISION FOR HER TO ATTEND UT AS IT BECOME, HAS BECOME DANGEROUS FOR WEST CAMPUS. 
          LIVING AN ON-CAMPUS STUDENTS ARE WITNESSING HOMELESS PEOPLE, MASTURBATING IN ROUTE TO CLASSES AND THEIR APARTMENTS BLOCKING THEIR ENTRY. 
          THE KIDS ARE BEING HARASSED FOR MONEY ON THE STREETS. 
          GUN VIOLENCE IN THE AREA PUTS THE KIDS THE LIVES AT STAKE. 
          AS PARENTS, WE ARE TRYING TO BETTER OUR SOCIETY BY PROVIDING GREAT EDUCATION TO OUR CHILDREN, BUT THIS IS NOT WORTH IT. 
          WE NEED LAW ENFORCEMENT PRESENT IN THE AREA. 
          IT IS SAD. 
          WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THIS AREA, STUDENTS AND ALL WHO WALK THESE STREETS DESERVE A SAFE ENVIRONMENT. 
          IF ONLY THESE MEASURES HAD BEEN IN PLACE HORECA MIGHT STILL BE HERE. 
          IT IS A SHAME THAT BARELY A STONE'S THROW FROM THE CAPITAL OF TEXAS AND THE GOVERNOR'S MANSION IN THE BACKYARD OF ONE OF THE TOP PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES IN THE COUNTRY THAT WE ARE HAVING TO SIGN A PETITION TO BRING ATTENTION TO THE ALARMING CRIME, ESCAPING THE NOTICE OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN AND THE STATE OF TEXAS. 
          ALL STUDENTS AND FACULTY HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR TOO LONG TO FEEL SAFE NEAR CAMPUS. 
          MY DAUGHTER IS A FRAYED AT YOUR CAMPUS. 
          I WANT TO FEEL SAFE IN WEST CAMPUS. 
          I DON'T WANT TO DIE. 
          I AM SCARED AS HELL AT SCHOOL, MR. CRUNK AND COUNCIL, YOU KNOW, THAT WE HAVE BEEN COMING HERE AND HAVING THESE CONVERSATIONS SINCE THE INCEPTION OF SAFE HORNS, WHAT DO YOU SAY TO LONGHORNS AND HOW WILL YOU ENSURE 
          [01:50:01]
THAT PERSPECTIVE STUDENTS AND THEIR PARENTS SHOULD FEEL CONFIDENT IN THEIR DECISION TO S TO ATTEND THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT AUSTIN? THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          I THINK THE NEXT SPEAKERS THAT WE HAVE ARE REMOTE SPEAKERS. 
          THAT'S CORRECT. 
          I DO WANT TO TELL THE SPEAKER WHO JUST CAME HERE, THAT WE DO HAVE AN UPDATE FROM AUSTIN ENERGY ON THE LIGHTING. 
          UM, WE, AS, AS YOU KNOW, AS OTHERS ON THIS DIOCESE, SNOW, UM, WE HAD A PRETTY EXTENSIVE CONVERSATION ABOUT IT AT OUR LAST AUSTIN ENERGY COUNCIL MEETING AND, AND ASKED THEM TO PLEASE COME BACK TO US WITH A TIMELINE. 
          UM, I, MY STAFF TOUCHED BASE YESTERDAY WITH AUSTIN ENERGY STAFF, AND IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT, THAT, THAT DESIGN WORK THAT THEY INDICATED THAT MEETING, THAT THEY INDICATED WAS GOING TO HAPPEN HAPPENED. 
          AND THAT BETWEEN THE DESIGN AND THE CONSTRUCTION, IF I'M UNDERSTANDING IT CORRECTLY, I DON'T KNOW IF WE'VE GOT ASKED AN ENERGY ON THE PHONE TO VERIFY THAT THOSE, THAT ADDITIONAL LIGHTING THAT WAS BUDGETED FOR, AND THAT MY BUDGET DIRECTION ASKED OUR MANAGER TO EXPEDITE WILL BE COMPLETED BY FEBRUARY. 
          SO GOOD NEWS THAT I THINK IT WAS 90 DAYS FROM, FROM WHATEVER THE DATE OF THAT MEETING WAS. 
          UM, THOSE THAT ADDITIONAL LIGHTING WILL BE UP. 
          ONE OF THE THINGS THAT, THAT I KNOW FROM BEING IN TOUCH WITH UT IS THAT THEY HAVE INSTALLED EXTENSIVE CALL BOXES ON THE UT CAMPUS. 
          I'M LESS CLEAR ON HOW MANY CALL BOXES THEY'VE INSTALLED IN WEST CAMPUS. 
          I KNOW THAT WAS THEIR INTENTION. 
          SO THAT'S, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE REACHING OUT TO UT TO GET INFORMATION ABOUT. 
          UM, AND AS, AS I KNOW, AND MAYBE A COUPLE OF, YOU KNOW, BUT MAYBE NOT EVERYONE KNOWS, UM, UT HAS ALSO, UM, ALLOCATED ADDITIONAL UT PD OFFICERS TO THE WEST CAMPUS AREA TO PUT, TO ASSIST OUR AUSTIN POLICE DEPARTMENT IN PATROLLING THAT AREA TOO. 
          BUT I WANT TO ASSURE OUR SPEAKER AND, AND THE COMMUNITY OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THAT CONVERSATION, THAT THE SAFETY OF OUR STUDENTS, UM, AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS, AS WELL AS, AS REALLY AUSTINITES THROUGHOUT THE CITY, UM, IS CERTAINLY A PARAMOUNT CONCERN TO ME. 
          AND I KNOW, UM, MY COLLEAGUES SHARE THAT SAME CONCERN OF ENSURING THAT AUSTIN IS SAFE, SAFE FOR EVERYONE. 
          AND ESPECIALLY FOR OUR STUDENTS WHO ARE HERE, NO CAUSE, BUT YOU CAN CERTAINLY REACH OUT TO, UH, UH, CASPER TURBOS OFFICE BY OFFICE, UH, DIRECTLY. 
          WE HAVE TWO MORE SPEAKERS JUST CAUSE IN CITIZEN COMMUNICATION. 
          WE'RE NOT NOTICED FOR THOSE KINDS OF INTERACTIVE CONVERSATIONS. 
          LET'S GO AHEAD AND CALL THE TWO PEOPLE. 
          YES, MA'AM FIRST SPEAKER IS NILAH SAN COFA. 
          ASSAD TO SAUNA CIAO, GREETINGS TO THOSE ON DO LOCAL ANCESTRAL SPIRITS, PRESIDENT AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS. 
          I AM NOT ENI SHEILA. 
          I CAN HEAR YOU SAYING HOPELESS. 
          I'VE LIVED IN AUSTIN SINCE 1989. 
          WHEN I WAS COMING INTO MY THIRTIES AND MY EBAY TWIN DAUGHTERS WERE FIVE AND A HALF. 
          IT'S NOW 2021, DO THE MATH. 
          AND I'M UNFORTUNATELY STILL LIVING AND STRUGGLING IN AUSTIN AS AN INTERDISCIPLINARY ARTIST, CULTURAL ACTIVISTS, DESIGNERS, AND CREATIVE, SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS. 
          ONCE AGAIN, I'M COMING BEFORE CITY COUNCIL WITH MANY QUESTIONS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RESOLVED IN 30 PLUS YEARS THAT I'VE LIVED AND WORK HERE. 
          I'M HERE IMPLORING CITY COUNCIL TO STOP IGNORING THE NEED VOICES AND EVEN DEMANDS TO REALISTICALLY CANDIDLY, CORRECT THE EQUITY ISSUES AND BARRIERS FACING BLACK ARTISTS, ORGANIZATIONS, AND BLACK ARTS WORKERS THAT WE'RE STILL NAVIGATING AND BEING HARMED BY WHY AREN'T THE REPORTS AND SUGGESTIONS, UH, SUGGESTED MEASURES OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENTS PROVIDED SOME CITY COUNCIL THAT CLEARLY CONVEY AND PROVE OUR NEEDS AND IDEAS BEING, UH, UH, ADDRESS OR, AND NOT, UM, AND NOT, UH, BASICALLY PICKING AND CHOOSING WHAT FEELS GOOD AND RIGHT, UH, FOR US, WHY AREN'T DEDICATED OLD HEADS LIKE MYSELF AND OTHERS WHO HAVE BEEN HERE FOR DECADES, BEING INVITED TO CONVERSATIONS AND COMMITTEE TABLE TO PROVIDE THE BENEFIT OF OUR EXPERIENCES, KNOWLEDGE AND INSIGHTS TO REALLY MEET THE NEEDS OF, AND ACTUALLY ADDRESS AND RESOLVE THE BARRIERS AND EQUITY SPACE WITH BLACK ARTISTS IN AUSTIN. 
          UH, MY OTHER QUESTIONS AND FOREIGN IN MY SIDE IS WHY THE BOXES ARE PROJECTS BREACH OF CONTRACT ISSUES. 
          HAVEN'T BEEN ADEQUATELY, ADEQUATELY AND EQUITABLY ADDRESSED AND RESOLVED NOT ONLY BY DISTRICT ONE OFFICE WHERE THE PROJECT 
          [01:55:01]
INITIATED AND WAS PHYSICALLY SITUATED MY EMAILS AND CALLS TO DISTRICT. 
          AND ONE OVER THE PAST TWO CLOSE MONTHS HAVE NOT BEEN ANSWERED OR RETURNED. 
          SO NOW THAT I HAVE THE ATTENTION OF CITY COUNCIL CAN ANY ONE OF YOU TELL ME, COLE CAN HELP? WHO CAN WE TALK TO, TO WORK WITH THE CITY, UM, WITH THE AUTHORITY TO GET THE BREACH OF CONTRACT TO RESOLVE. 
          I ALSO WANT TO INTERJECT THAT AS SOMEONE WHO IS A RITUAL SPECIALIST IN AFRICAN DIASPORA, ANCESTRAL CONDITIONS AND CEREMONIES, OUR SST, PRIMORDIAL, MOTHERS, AND FATHERS SUGGEST THE MEMORIAL CEMETERY BE RESPECTED AND LEFT ALONE. 
          YOU RUSSIA WILL DO WAY WITH SAY INITIATE. 
          THAT MEANS THANK YOU.

          HOWEVER, THE APPLICANT HAS AGREED TO A CONDITIONAL OVERLAY THAT THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF DWELLING UNITS WILL NOT EXCEED FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD DOES NOT OBJECT TO THAT CONDITION. 
          SO STAFF CAN OFFER THIS FOR CONSENT ON FIRST READING, RETURNING THIS ITEM BACK NEXT WEEK.

          UM, AND TAKE UP WITH ITEM NUMBER 29. 
          UM, I KNOW NUMBER 69 IS SEE ONE FOR 20 21 0 0 9 1. 
          THERE WAS ANY DEFINITE POSTPONEMENT REQUEST BY THE APPLICANT FOR THIS ITEM AND ITEM 70 A SEE ONE FOR 20 21 0 0 0 9. 
          AND THERE WAS A NEIGHBORHOOD POSTPONEMENT REQUEST TO YOUR DECEMBER 9TH CAPSULE MEETING.

          AND THAT CONCLUDES THE READING OF THE CONSENT THAT, ALL RIGHT, SO LET'S PICK UP SOME OF THESE ITEMS HERE, UH, APPROPRIATE FOR US TO VOTE ON ITEMS 57 61 AND 62 ALL AT THE SAME TIME, POSTPONING THEM TO APRIL 21ST OF 21. 
          THAT'S FINE. 
          IS THERE A MOTION TO POSTPONE ALL THREE OF THOSE ITEMS THAT WAY THE MAYOR PRO TEM MAKES THAT MOTION SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER POOL AND DISCUSSION? YES. 
          I WAS JUST WONDERING WHY THE POSTPONEMENT WAS UNTIL APRIL. 
          IF THE MAYOR PRO TEM COULD MAYBE LET US KNOW WHY SHE'S REQUESTED THAT DATE, THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL. 
          ABSOLUTELY. 
          YEAH. 
          WE WERE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION MY STAFF AND I TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION WHAT WOULD BE THE MOST REASONABLE, UM, THE MOST REASONABLE TIME TO ALLOW FOR ADDITIONAL CONVERSATIONS WITH THE COMMUNITY AND THEN TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THE UPCOMING, UM, HOLIDAY SCHEDULE. 
          I THINK THERE WERE JUST MULTIPLE THINGS THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT REALLY DIDN'T MAKE IT SOUND LIKE IT WAS GOING TO BE REASONABLE TO DO IT ANY SOONER THAN APRIL. 
          AND I'D LIKE TO SPEAK TO IT FURTHER, BUT HOPEFULLY THAT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION. 
          YES, IT DOES. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          YOU'RE WELCOME A CHAIR. 
          DO YOU MIND IF I CONTINUE TO SPEAK TO THE ITEM OR WHAT YOU'D LIKE TO COME BACK TO ME? NOPE. 
          PLEASE GO AHEAD. 
          THANK YOU. 
          I APPRECIATE IT. 
          UM, AS I EXPRESSED EARLIER, OFFICES RECEIVED MULTIPLE EMAILS AND CALLS FROM RESIDENTS IN THE URBAN RENEWAL PLAN AREA. 
          UM, RAISING CONCERNS ABOUT THE PROPOSED CHANGES, UH, INCLUDING NOT HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROCESS. 
          SO ANY CHANGES TO THE NCCD WE APPROVED, I THINK, WELL, I KNOW WE'LL HAVE SIGNIFICANT LONG-TERM IMPACT IN THIS AREA. 
          SO IT'S IMPORTANT TO ME THAT WE GET THIS RIGHT. 
          UM, AND THE CHANGES WILL HELP MOVE FORWARD. 
          THE VISION THAT THE COMMUNITY HAS FOR THE AREA. 
          SO POSTPONEMENT UNTIL APRIL 21ST, UH, WILL ALLOW FOR OUR OFFICE TO HAVE THE SUFFICIENT TIME NECESSARY TO CONDUCT A COMPREHENSIVE AND THOROUGH. 
          AND I THINK THAT'S PROBABLY THE MOST, THAT'S THE OPERATIVE WORD, THOROUGH COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROCESS. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION, THESE THREE ITEMS, TABOO THAT ALL THREE OF THESE ITEMS BE POSTPONED. 
          UH, THOSE IN FAVOR, PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAIR. 
          THOSE OPPOSE. 
          ADAM IS ON THE DICE WITH A COUNCIL MEMBER CASAR OFF. 
          UH, IS IT POSSIBLE FOR US TO TAKE UP ITEM NUMBER 29 AND 68 AT THE SAME TIME TO APPROVE THEM? IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEMS? NUMBER 29 AND ITEM NUMBER? IT WOULD BE FOR CONSENT SECOND READING, AND WE'D BE BRINGING THESE ITEMS BACK, UH, NEXT WEEK ON YOUR DECEMBER 9TH. 
          SO IT'S FOR CONSENT. 
          SECOND READING ONLY BOTH ITEMS AND THEY WILL BE RETURNING FOR YOUR NEXT WEEK'S COUNCIL AGENDA. 
          IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEMS? 29 AND 68 ON SECOND READING, ONLY WITH THE ITEMS COMING BACK TO US NEXT WEEK. 
          HOW'S IT EVER WENT? THIS MAKES THAT MOTION COUNCIL MEMBER ELLIS SECONDS, THAT MOTION FOR BOTH OF THOSE ITEMS, HE DISCUSSION. 
          THAT WAS A FAVOR. 
          PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND. 
          THOSE OPPOSE UNANIMOUS ON THE DICE AGAIN WITH COUNCIL MEMBER CASAR OFF THAT LEAVES. 
          YES, WE DO HAVE A SPEAKER ON THE LINE. 
          FREEDOM 57 ON 57. 
          OKAY. 
          THE QUESTION IS ON THE POSTPONEMENT OF ITEM NUMBER 57, UH, TILL, UH, APRIL OF 21. 
          DOES THE SPEAKER WANT TO SPEAK ON THE POSTPONEMENT? WE TOOK THAT ACTION A MOMENT AGO. 
          HOW DOES THE SPEAKER WATER ADDRESS THE COUNCIL? LET ME CALL THE NOVIA JOSEPH AND SEE IF SHE'D LIKE TO SPEAK TO THAT. 
          SHE'S I THINK SHE SIGNED UP A COUPLE ITEMS. THERE'S AN OPIATE JOSEPH, WOULD YOU LIKE TO 
          [02:15:01]
SPEAK TO THE POSTPONEMENTS? UH, THANK YOU, MAYOR COUNCIL ON THE NOVIA, JOSEPH, UH, MAYOR. 
          UM, I DON'T MIND SPEAKING TO THE POSTPONEMENT, BUT FROM A TECHNICAL PERSPECTIVE, MAY I JUST ASK YOU TO BE CONSISTENT LAST WEEK? YOU TOLD US NOT TO STAY ON THE LINE AND THIS WEEK YOU'RE ALLOWING PEOPLE TO SPEAK. 
          SO I WOULD JUST ASK YOU TO BE CONSISTENT, UM, AS IT RELATES TO THE ITEMS, THE URBAN RENEWAL PLAN AREA. 
          I THINK THAT'S A GOOD IDEA. 
          I JUST WANTED TO ASK IF IT'S POSSIBLE, UM, FOR THE STAFF WHEN, SINCE IT'S SUCH A LONG DELAY TO CONSIDER THE BLACK EMBASSY, UH, IN THIS AREA AT THE SAME TIME, BECAUSE THAT WILL COME BACK TO COUNCIL IN JANUARY, AND YOU'RE ASKING THE CITY MANAGER TO LOOK AT THE SAME AREAS, SO IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE. 
          I'VE READ. 
          AND I THOUGHT I SIGNED UP FROM A NUMBER 70, UH, NUMBER 70, ALL I WANTED TO STAY WITH THAT I DID GO BACK TO THE OCTOBER 26TH, 2021 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING AS COUNCIL MEMBER, KITCHEN AREA. 
          AND I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT MUCH OF THE DISCUSSION THERE WAS ABOUT A PRIVATE RESTRICTIVE COVENANT. 
          I'M NOT SPEAKING TO THE MERITS OF THE CASE. 
          I JUST WOULD ASK THAT IF THAT IS STILL GOING TO BE CONSIDERED FOR THE 80% AREA, MEDIAN INCOME GOTTA BE PART OF THE BACKUP MATERIAL. 
          SO IT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY DISCUSS. 
          AND SO IT WOULD BE TRANSPARENT FOR THE PUBLIC AND THERE WAS ROBUST DISCUSSION DURING THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETINGS, BUT THERE'S NOTHING IN THE BACKUP MATERIAL, AS I CAN TELL PATHOGENS, IT CAN BE HELPFUL. 
          UH, THANK YOU, UH, MS. JOSEPH AND, AND, UM, I'LL, I WILL HELP MAKE SURE THAT IT'S TRANSPARENT THERE, THERE ISN'T ONE AT THE MOMENT THAT'S AGREED TO. 
          THAT'S WHY YOU'RE NOT SEEING IT. 
          I DIDN'T WITH RESPECT TO NUMBER. 
          OKAY. 
          AND WITH RESPECT TO RECOGNIZING PEOPLE, IF WE'RE TAKING THE ACTION TO POSTPONE THE PUBLIC AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO SPEAK ON THE QUESTION OF POSTPONEMENT, WE'RE GONNA LET PEOPLE DO THAT, BUT NOT DISCUSS THE MERITS OR CASES THAT ARE POSTPONED. 
          THAT GETS US TO THE BALANCE OF THE, UH, CONSENT AGENDA, UH, WHICH IS, UH, ITEMS, UH, 63 64 65, 66, 67, 69 AND 70. 
          UH, IS THERE A MOTION TO PRESS THE CONSENT AGENDA ON THOSE ITEMS AS WE WENT, THIS MAKES THE MOTION COUNCIL MEMBER ELLIS SECONDS DISCUSSION ON THE CONSENT AGENDA. 
          REMEMBER TOBO MAY I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS ABOUT ITEMS 67? CAN WE LEAVE IT ON CONSENT? AND I ASKED THEM QUICKLY, OR WOULD YOU PREFER I PULL IT RIGHT. 
          SO I WONDERED IF WE COULD GET SOME INFORMATION FROM THE STAFF ABOUT THIS. 
          I HAVE LOOKED THROUGH THE STAFF REPORT AND I THINK WE REACHED OUT AND SPOKE BRIEFLY WITH THE DISTRICT SIX OFFICE AS WELL. 
          UM, BUT GIVEN THE CONVERSATIONS WE'RE HAVING ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF, OF SUPPORTING RESIDENTIAL ZONING, I WONDERED IF OUR STAFF COULD COMMENT ON THE SHIFT HERE FROM, FROM RESIDENTIAL ZONING TO, UM, TO A CMS ZONING, WHICH WOULD PROHIBIT RESIDENTIAL AND WOULD ACTUALLY EXPAND A STORAGE, UH, STORAGE USE IN THIS AREA. 
          IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING, AT LEAST A PORTION OF THE SITE IS CURRENTLY BEING USED AS A, AS A STORAGE. 
          AND SO PERHAPS THAT WAS THE REASON FOR, FOR THE RECOMMENDATION. 
          BUT IF YOU COULD JUST SPEAK TO AND APOLOGIES THAT I DIDN'T, I DIDN'T GIVE ANYBODY A HEADS UP THAT I WAS ASKING THIS QUESTION. 
          WE CAN COME BACK TO IT, IF THAT MAKES BETTER SENSE. 
          WELL, WHILE WE POST STAFF TOGETHER, LET'S PULL OUT IN 67, LET'S TAKE A VOTE ON THE BALANCE AND JUST GET DONE WITH THAT. 
          THEN WE'RE GOING TO PULL ITEM 67, THAT CONSENT MOTION THEN, OR JUST THE REMAINING ITEMS. 63 64, 65 66, UM, 7 69 AND 70. 
          UM, THOSE ARE FAVORITE THINGS THAT GENDER, PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND. 
          THOSE OPPOSED GENTLEMEN, ON THE DYES, WHEN I WAS A MEMBER COSAR OFF, I MEAN, WE'VE TAKEN CARE OF EVERYTHING TODAY, EXCEPT FOR ITEM 
          [67. C14-2021-0147 - 12117 Jekel Circle - Conduct a public hearing and approve an ordinance amending City Code Title 25 by rezoning property locally known as 12115, 12117, 12121 and 12123 Jekel Circle (Rattan Creek Watershed).

67. 
          WE HAVE SOMEONE RESPOND TO GOD'S OVER TOWBOATS QUESTION. 
          YES. 
          COUNCIL MEMBER. 
          THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION. 
          UM, WE JUST HAD TO LOOK AT THE MAP ONE MORE TIME. 
          IT IS A VERY HEAVY INDUSTRIAL COMMERCIAL AREA, AND I KNOW SOME OF THE, UM, AREA IS ZONED S3, BUT IT'S STILL GET USED AS COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL, AND THAT'S JUST NOT APPROPRIATE USE WHERE A STAFF OR RESIDENTIAL UNITS. 
          OKAY, THANK YOU. 
          I APPRECIATE THAT. 
          IT IS AN AREA FOR IDENTIFIED AS A POTENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER IN SOME TRYING TO SQUARE, KIND OF THE CURRENT USES THERE WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER, WHICH ARE, ARE PRETTY LOCALLY FOCUSED VERSUS THE KIND OF INDUSTRIAL USES THAT ARE THERE. 
          BUT THAT WAS, I GUESS, PROBABLY THE QUESTION ANNEXATION 
          [02:20:01]
THOSE USES WERE THERE. 
          AND SO, UM, AND THEY WERE ANNEXED AND THOSE ARE PRETTY HEAVILY COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL. 
          YEAH, THAT'S INTERESTING. 
          I WONDER IF AS WE'RE HAVING THESE CONVERSATIONS, WE'LL FIND THAT MORE AND MORE OF THOSE. 
          WELL, CERTAINLY THIS IS AN AREA WHERE I THINK THAT CONVERSATION NEEDED TO BE ASKED DURING, IMAGINE AUSTIN, WHY IDENTIFY AN AREA THAT IS ALREADY SO INDUSTRIAL AS, AS A POTENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER. 
          I MEAN, THE WORK THAT IT WOULD TAKE TO, TO TRANSFORM IT INTO THAT IS GOING TO BE SUBSTANTIAL POTENTIALLY. 
          SO ANYWAY, THANK YOU FOR THAT EXPLANATION. 
          I APPRECIATE UNDERSTANDING BETTER. 
          THE STAFF RATIONALE FOR THAT. 
          IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM NUMBER 67, RIGHT. 
          JUST HISTORICALLY KNOWING THAT LOCATION AND HAVING GROWN UP IN THAT AREA. 
          I WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE OF IT ALREADY BEING LIGHT INDUSTRIAL. 
          AND SO EVEN IF YOU DRIVE THROUGH THAT AREA, THERE ARE SOME HOMES THAT HAVE BEEN CONVERTED INTO BUSINESSES AND THAT SORT OF THING. 
          SO I SAW NO PROBLEMS WITH THAT REZONING, ESPECIALLY WITH THE CAR DEALERSHIP NEARBY, THEY PARKED THE VEHICLES UP AND DOWN THOSE ROADS, WHICH MAKE THEM HEAVILY CONGESTED. 
          AND SO IT JUST MAKES SENSE FOR THAT PART OF DISTRICT SIX. 
          THANK YOU. 
          IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE THIS ITEM NUMBER 67 COUNCIL MEMBER KELLY TO ORDER MAKE THAT MOTION 67? THAT'S A MEMBER. 
          KELLY MAKES THAT MOTION SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER, LSA, DISCUSSION THOSE IN FAVOR. 
          PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND. 
          THOSE OPPOSED WITH COUNCIL BARBARA COSARA OFF THE BIAS, THE OTHERS' VOTING. 
          AYE. 
          IT PASSES. 
          I THINK THAT'S EVERYTHING ON OUR AGENDA. 
          SO WE GET AN EARLY BREAK THIS EVENING COUNCIL MEETING NEXT WEEK ON THURSDAY WORK SESSION ON A TUESDAY. 
          UH, AND THEN A LITTLE BIT OF, UH, OF A BREAK FROM COUNCIL MEETINGS. 
          THIS MEETING IS NOW, UH, ADJOURN HERE. 
          MAY I SAY ONE THING QUICKLY BEFORE WE ADJOURN? SO AT, UH, PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS, WE HAD A CONVERSATION WITH ONE OF THE SPEAKERS ABOUT THE AUSTIN ENERGY WORK IN WEST CAMPUS. 
          AND, UH, WE HAD, UH, GOT SOME, WELL, THE UPSHOT IS I MISUNDERSTOOD THE INFORMATION THAT WE HAD GOTTEN FROM AUSTIN ENERGY. 
          IT'S THE DESIGN THAT WILL BE COMPLETED WITHIN 90 DAYS, NOT THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION. 
          AND I DON'T HAVE DETAILS YET ABOUT THE REST OF THE REST OF, I DON'T HAVE ANY MORE INFORMATION THAN THAT AT THE MOMENT, BUT THAT SOUNDS LIKE IT PUTS IT ON TRACK TO BE, TO BE POTENTIALLY THE, UM, WHOLE YEAR FOR THAT CONSTRUCTION PIECE, WHICH GETS US RIGHT BACK TO WHERE THEY WERE WHEN THEY ESTIMATED THAT TIMEFRAME PRIOR TO THE BUDGET PRIOR TO OUR BUDGET DIRECTIONS. 
          SO MANAGER, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER, GONZALEZ, UM, THIS REQUIRES A LITTLE BIT MORE INTENTION ATTENTION. 
          UM, THERE YOU ARE A CITY MANAGER. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, IF YOU COULD PLEASE GET BACK TO US ABOUT THAT TIMEFRAME AGAIN, WE HAD DIRECTED YOU TO EXPEDITE IT AND POSSIBLE, PERHAPS THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE, BUT, UM, IN LIGHT OF THAT REALLY EXTENDED TIMEFRAME GIVEN WHEN THE MAYOR BROUGHT THAT RESOLUTION IN 2017, UM, PERHAPS THERE ARE TEMPORARY LIGHTING OPTIONS THAT CAN BE CONSIDERED OR OTHER KINDS OF PROJECTS THAT SHOULD BE, SHOULD BE ROLLED OUT. 
          IF IT, IF IT TRULY IS GOING TO TAKE AN ENTIRE YEAR TO GET THOSE LIGHTS ON THE GROUND AND APOLOGIES FOR, FOR THE INFORMATION, FOR THE LACK OF, FOR THE CONFUSION THAT I CREATED EARLIER TODAY AND SORRY TO HOLD THIS ALL UP. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          I SAW THE CITY MANAGER, UH, GOD DID AFFIRMATION, UH, WITH THAT WE TAKING CARE OF EVERYTHING, UH, HERE AT, UH, 3 24, THE SPEEDING IS A CHARRED. 
          SO YOU GUYS LATER, YUP.
