PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD RECOMMENDATION 20260928-004 Date: September 28, 2026 Subject: Permanent Taking of Parkland, Country Club Greenbelt Motioned By: Nicole Merritt Seconded By: Luai Abou-Emara Recommendation The Austin Parks and Recreation Board reviewed the request from Austin Transportation and Public Works to authorize a permanent change in use for approximately 121,156 square feet of dedicated parkland in the Country Club Creek West Greenbelt to construct, operate, maintain, and repair roadway and associated improvements. Following a presentation by the Austin Capital Delivery Service, the Board was unable to recommend approval of this project absent additional information regarding community involvement. Specifically, it remains unclear whether the surrounding community was provided an adequate opportunity to participate in the process or offer feedback. Furthermore, insufficient information was provided during the meeting, concerning projected traffic patterns and their impact on the surrounding area. The Board recommends that the City Council carefully consider these unaddressed community outreach and traffic impact issues when determining whether to approve this change in parkland use. Vote: 8-0 For: Stephanie Bazan, Lane Becker, Luai Abou-Emara, Ted Eubanks, Jennifer Franklin, Diane Kearns-Osterweil, Maritza Kelley, Nicole Merritt. Against: None. Abstain: Shelby Orme, Pedro Villalobos. Absent: Kim Taylor. Attest: Tim Dombeck, Board and Council Liaison, Austin Parks and Recreation.

RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL JOINT INCLUSION COMMITTEE Recommendation 20260923-007: Recognition of Recent APD Shooting & Supporting Measures to Provide Public Accountability WHEREAS, on July 24, 2026, 17-year-old Anthoneil Williams II was fatally shot by Austin Police Department (APD) officers at a neighborhood park near Baden Lane and Dessau Road; and WHEREAS, subsequent official reviews and Austin Police Department disclosures revealed that Anthoneil Williams II was unarmed and the object in his waistband was a water bottle at the time officers discharged their weapons; and WHEREAS, while the shooting remained under active investigation, Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis publicly stated that “all points” indicated the incident was a “suicide by police,” assigning a possible motive to Anthoneil Williams II before the completion of independent and thorough investigations; and WHEREAS, the National Police Accountability Project (NPAP), a national organization dedicated to police accountability and civil rights, specifically criticized APD's rapid characterization of Anthoneil Williams II's death as “suicide by cop,” raising concerns that assigning such a label before a meaningful investigation shifts attention away from questions of de-escalation, use of force, and governmental accountability; and WHEREAS, the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF), a national organization of police executives and law-enforcement professionals, recognizes that encounters involving individuals believed to be seeking a lethal police response should prompt specialized crisis intervention emphasizing time, distance, communication, patience, and de-escalation, and has documented that many such encounters can be resolved without the use of lethal force; and WHEREAS, terminology such as “suicide by cop” or “suicide by police,” particularly when used before an investigation has established a person's intent, risks shifting responsibility for a police- involved death onto the deceased, making that individual the perceived causal actor in their own death while prematurely shaping public understanding of the government's use of deadly force; and WHEREAS, the City of Austin should use neutral, fact-based language when communicating about police-involved deaths and should distinguish between evidence concerning a person's possible mental or behavioral health crisis and the separate question of whether officers' actions, tactics, de-escalation efforts, and use of force were appropriate; and WHEREAS, repeated patterns of officer misconduct, insufficient de-escalation, and unjustified use of force have historically inflicted severe trauma and deadly harm across Austin communities; and WHEREAS, civilian oversight bodies, including the Community Police Review Commission, require unfettered access to all body-worn camera footage, dispatch recordings, internal affairs files, and investigative materials to ensure true transparency, accountability, …
