City Manager Spencer Cronk The City of Austin Planning Commission To: From: Subject: Date: June 22, 2021 Transmittal of FYs 2021-2023 Long-Range Capital Improvement Program Planning Memo of Recommendations The Planning Commission is pleased to transmit the FYs 21-23 Long-Range Capital Improvement Program Planning (LRCP) Memo of Recommendations. Transmittal of the recommendations to the City Manager allows the Planning Commission to meet its requirement under the Charter to submit a list of capital improvements to the City Manager which implement the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan Joint Committee of Planning Commission and Zoning and Platting Commission participated in development of this year’s LRCP recommendations and approved a memo for consideration by the Planning Commission.

The LRCP is part of a larger Capital Improvement Program planning cycle, a multi-year, continuous process of planning, funding, and implementation of capital improvements, that also includes the Five-Year CIP Plan and the annual Capital Budget. To further the City’s long-term vision and aspiration of being one of the most unique, thriving, and livable cities in the country, the City Council chose to focus City operations and budgets around Strategic Direction 2023’s Outcomes: • Government that works for all: Believing that city government works effectively and collaboratively for all of us - that it is equitable, ethical and innovative. • Safety: Being safe in our home, at work, and in our community. • Economic Opportunity and Affordability: Having economic opportunities and resources that enable us to thrive in our community • Mobility: Getting us where we want to go, when we want to get there, safely and cost-effectively. • Health and Environment: Enjoying a sustainable environment and a healthy life, physically and • Culture and Lifelong-Learning: Being enriched by Austin's unique civic, cultural, ethnic, and learning mentally. opportunities. This LRCP cycle for FYs 21-23, the Memo of Recommendations is organized by the six Strategic Direction outcomes.

City Manager Spencer Cronk The City of Austin Planning Commission To: From: Subject: Date: June 22, 2021 Transmittal of FYs 2021-2023 Long-Range Capital Improvement Program Planning Memo of Recommendations The Planning Commission is pleased to transmit the FYs 21-23 Long-Range Capital Improvement Program Planning (LRCP) Memo of Recommendations. Transmittal of the recommendations to the City Manager allows the Planning Commission to meet its requirement under the Charter to submit a list of capital improvements to the City Manager which implement the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan Joint Committee of Planning Commission and Zoning and Platting Commission participated in development of this year’s LRCP recommendations and approved a memo for consideration by the Planning Commission.
