WATER AND WASTEWATER COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION 20210804-D2 Seconded By: Commissioner Penn Date: August 4, 2021 Subject: Budget Committee Report Motioned By: Commissioner Michel Recommendation See Attached Report Description of Recommendation to Council See Attached Report Rationale: The Committee appreciates the opportunity to review Austin Water Utility’s FY 2018-19 (FY19) budget and provide recommendations for the Water and Wastewater Commission. The following review and recommendations are based on budget information provided by Staff and not the “official” budget document. This is due to City Management policy which restricts the release of the budget until it has been presented to Council. This delayed release does not allow the Committee sufficient time to thoroughly review the “official” document, and have recommendations posted for the Commission’s regularly scheduled August meeting. The Committee is confident that the information provided by Staff was thorough and representative of the official FY19 budget. Vote For: Lee, Penn, Michel, Musgrove, Fisher, Turrieta, Moriarty Against: Abstain: 0 Absent: 2 Attest: Liaison Blanca Madriz, W&WW Commission Liaison 7-0 0 1 of 1 WATER & WASTEWATER COMMISSION BUDGET COMMITTEE REPORT Overview A P P R O V E D : A u g u s t 4 , 2 0 2 1 The Committee appreciates the opportunity to review Austin Water Utility’s FY 2021-2022 (FY22) budget material and provide the following summary to the Water and Wastewater Commission. Budget Committee Members: Susan Turrieta, Chair Travis Michel, Vice Chair Grant Fisher William Moriarty Jesse Penn Budget Review Executive Summary Austin Water Assistant Director of Financial Services, Joseph Gonzales and staff presented an FY 2020-2021 (FY 21) budget vs. actual update and an overview of 5-year forecast and FY 2021-2022 (FY 22) Proposed Budget, including revenue and rate projections, transfers, program requirements, debt service requirements, Austin Water’s 5-year CIP spending plan and update on Winter Storm Uri financial impact. As a recap of the FY21 budget, the planned FY 21 debt defeasance was postponed until early FY 22 due to market conditions. As a result, related capital recovery transfers to cover the debt defeasance were also postponed. In addition, there was a one-time $5,000,000 transfer to the customer assistance program (CAP), and a 10% CAP rate reduction approved in April 2020 continued in FY 21 and will be maintained in FY22. Austin Water has not proposed water or wastewater rate increase for FY22. The total requirements for FY22 have an increase over FY21 of $32.7M …

(connection to AE District Cooling, Waterloo Greenway - Creek Delta, ATD – Red River Extension, TTF) FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS - ESB-MACC Phase 2 1. Q: Has a Master Plan been completed for ESB-MACC? The Austin City Council adopted the Emma S. Barrientos Mexican American Cultural Center (ESB-MACC) Master Plan on May 24, 2018. This plan is now referred to as the 2018 Facility Expansion Plan and presents design recommendations to better meet the current and future needs of the center. The Plan incorporated current needs and consideration of the evolving neighborhood. This project identifies the priority items for Phase 2. Future phases will address the remaining items not constructed in this project, such as a performance theater. 2. Q: What are the priorities identified in this 2018 Facility Expansion Plan? The current ESB-MACC facility has insufficient space to host the numerous community activities available or desired; staff and storage areas are inadequate in providing support. The existing space is in need of updates and expansion to better meet present and future needs. The connectivity to the Ann Richards and Roy Butler Hike and Bike Trails, Lady Bird Lake, pedestrian walkways, and surrounding neighborhoods need to be improved to activate the plaza and draw interest to the facility. Based on information received from the public, the 10 most important stakeholder issues identified in the 2018 Plan were: • More classrooms and studios • Access and view to Lady …
