20201019-5.a on the African-American Cultural Heritage District Revitalization and Cultural Historical Development — original pdf
ARTS COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION 20201019.5.a Date: Subject: 10-19-20 Arts Commission Recommendation on the African-American Cultural Heritage District Revitalization and Cultural Historical Development Seconded By: Commissioner Michelle Polgar Motion By: Commissioner Lulu Flores Recommendation The Arts Commission requests that City Council reaffirm its designation of the African American Cultural Heritage District (AACHD) and commit to revitalization of the District through development and investment in historic, cultural and preservation projects, including the preservation and designation of the remaining two parcels of Urban Renewal Property (Lots 16 and 18 at the 1100 Block on East 11th Street) as cultural heritage property to be developed instead as cultural arts and music facilities that support the African American community and reflect their cultural heritage. Additionally, Council should direct City Manager and appropriate City Departments to make recommendations for such redevelopment and investment by developing a plan in coordination with the AACHD Investment Initiative and other private and public strategic partners. . Description of Recommendation to Council The Arts Commission, in support of the African American Cultural Heritage District (AACHD) Investment Initiative, recommends that City Council commit to the development of the remaining properties in historic East Black Austin within the boundaries of the AACHD in ways that address and preserve Black culture and that benefit the entire Austin community by creating a viable arts and cultural destination that drives cultural tourism and economic development in the District. This would include the dedication of Lot 16 and Lot 18 as cultural heritage property and their development as such. Revitalization of the AACHD would include the development of historic, cultural and preservation projects, institutions/facilities and activities; encourage the return of small, minority-owned businesses; and create a vibrant street and nightlife center that reflects the African American historic legacy of the District. City Manager would be directed to work with the various Departments to develop the necessary strategies to implement the following actions, expeditiously, and if feasible, immediately: • Update all official city Zoning Maps that show designated Cultural and Historic Districts and Landmarks to include the African American Cultural Heritage District (AACHD); • Develop an official detailed map specifically for the District by using the East Austin Historical Survey findings to designate cultural, historic, and heritage sites and landmarks within the District; add those locations to official maps; • Develop way-finding signage for public right-of-ways that provide directional guidance for locating the AACHD in general, and specific landmarks …

20201019-2bi: Live Music Fund Recommendations — original pdf
MUSIC COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION 20201019-2bi 10/19/1010 Date: Subject: Motioned By: Commissioner Reynolds Seconded By: Vice-chair Jonathan “Chaka” Mahone Recommendation Live Music Fund Working Group Recommendation 1. The Music Commission voted to support the Live Music Working Group recommendations to develop a framework for the effective use of Hotel Occupancy Tax funds, as appropriate for the commercial music sector by the City of Austin, for the enrichment of Austin Musicians, Music Venues and Music Tourism through sustainable investment. A copy of the report is attached as Exhibit A, Live Music Fund Recommendations. 2. City staff is encouraged to explore funding sources outside the City to supplement revenue generated by Hotel Occupancy Taxes. Recommendations for pursuing private philanthropy is attached as Exhibit B, Funding Model Observation and Recommendations. Description of Recommendation to Council 1. The Live Music Working Group recommends the creation of a citizen-led advisory board to govern the use of funds. The board, divided into subcommittees, will drive future board nominations, review board structure and responsibilities of sub-committees, pursue opportunities for private philanthropy, review grant criteria, metrics interface with a financial administrative body, and review grant proposals based on established criteria. The Fund should be administered by a local nonprofit organization having familiarity with Austin’s music community and demonstrated expertise in managing funding for various music and arts entities. 2. The Music Commission asks staff to research, identify, and pursue additional funding streams such as corporate philanthropy and public-private partnerships. The technology sector in particular is a logical avenue of support for Austin’s iconic yet struggling music economy. Rationale: 1. The ordinance effective September 30, 2019 allocates the use of hotel occupancy tax revenue to provide additional funds for local music and historic preservation. Specifically, of the additional two percent hotel occupancy tax for the Convention Center Expansion, an amount equal to 15% of the two percent assessment is allocated to the Live Music Fund for local music that meets the requirements of Texas Tax Code Section 351.101(a)(4) and that is not funded through the Cultural Arts Fund. Section 351.101 (a) (4) states the available uses as “the encouragement, promotion, improvement, and application of the arts, including instrumental and vocal music, dance, drama, folk art, creative writing, architecture, design and allied fields, painting, sculpture, photography, graphic and craft arts, motion pictures, radio, television, tape and sound recording, and other arts related to the presentation, performance, execution, and exhibition of these major …

Description of Recommendation to Council The Music Commission’s newly formed responsibility of determining how managed and allocated to create economic growth in the commercial music sector via equity measures. The Systemic Racism Working Group seeks to address structural inequity and racial inequality in Austin’s music community through public discourse, distribution of funding, and policy change. By examining the development of Austin’s music economy through the lens of race, and the historic lack of support for our communities of color, the working group intends to provide recommendations to protect, repair, and build a more diverse and inclusive music scene. This committee is resolved to dive deeply into the various ways that race shapes policy and opportunity at all levels of the Austin Music Industry: venues, non-profits, festivals, etc.” Preservation (30%) - Enriching the Past Investment in the historic cultural heritage of Austin music via funding that supports BIPOC-led organizations, and individuals committed to preservation of the traditions and legacy of historically underserved communities through: funding, pulled from (50% of Live Music) HOT funds, can best be Systemic Racism Working Group will be charged with the PIE ● Educational workshops and presentations that pass the legacy to new generations ● Development of cultural heritage district infrastructure(s) ● Support for public Cultural Arts spaces (libraries, museums, etc) ● Public events that celebrate BIPOC cultural heritage Innovation (30%) - Envisioning the Future Investment in the innovation of traditional business models that have excluded BIPOC communities via funding that supports BIPOC-led organizations, and individuals committed to innovative and inclusive practices that build capacity in underserved communities through: 1 of 2 ● The incorporation of new media platforms/technology that develop the capacity of historically underserved communities and genres ● The development of infrastructure that empowers the creation and development of tech-based business models that …

Water & Wastewater Commission Review and Recommendation Health and Environment COA Strategic Direction: October 14, 2020 Commission Meeting Date: Council Meeting Date: Department: Capital Contracting October 29, 2020 Client: Kevin Koeller, Shay Roalson, Michael Deas Agenda Item Recommend approval to execute change order No. 14 in an amount not to exceed $825,157.76 to the construction contract with SJ Louis Construction of Texas, Ltd., for the Parmer Lane Interceptor project, plus an additional contingency in the amount of $300,000, for a total contract amount not to exceed $28,549,489.76. (District 6) Funding is available in the Fiscal Year 2020-2021 Capital Budget of Austin Water. Amount and Source of Funding Original contract was awarded through a competitive Invitation for Bid solicitation process. December 1, 2016 – Council approved a construction contract with SJ Louis Construction of Texas, LTD., for the Parmer Lane Interceptor project.

Current participation to date is 5.33% MBE and 1.44% WBE. Purchasing Language: Prior Council Action: Boards and Commission Action: MBE/WBE: The Parmer Lane Interceptor project involves the installation of over two miles of 42- inch diameter wastewater pipeline along Parmer Lane between Anderson Mill and McNeil Roads to better protect the public health and the environment and reduce operating expenses by removing aged and underperforming wastewater facilities. Once installed, wastewater will flow by gravity to the Walnut Creek wastewater treatment plant, enabling the decommissioning of the Lake Creek and Rattan Creek lift stations which will increase reliability and lower operation and maintenance requirements. Prior change orders have been required due to in-situ conditions differing from predicted conditions, which resulted in substantially slower than expected tunneling and excavation progress. Increased wastewater flows due to population growth, a more conservative modeling approach, and an optimized tie-in design have increased the quantity and duration of bypass pumping required to connect the new wastewater main and decommission existing lift stations. Change order No. 13 allows for the successful integration of the Parmer Lane Interceptor into the existing wastewater system, as well as capturing additional costs associated with a culvert installation, COVID-19 delays, and an auxiliary sanitary sewer line. Beyond change order No. 13, the need for additional project contingency is due to the potential of additional unforeseen conditions and …
