EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF INTEGRATED PLAN AND SCSN The Integrated HIV Prevention and Care Plan is a five year plan to accelerate progress in the Austin Transitional Grant Area (TGA) towards diagnosing all people with HIV early as a possible, treating people with HIV rapidly and effectively to reach sustained viral suppression, preventing new HIV transmissions by using proven interventions, including pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), and responding quickly to potential HIV outbreaks to get vital prevention and treatment services to people who need them in order to increase access to care, improve health outcomes, and reduce HIV-related health disparities. This plan reviews the landscape of the HIV epidemic in the Austin TGA—the demographics of those living with and more likely to be impacted by HIV/AIDS, resources and services available, and needs, gaps and barriers to prevention and care. The second half of the plan details goals and objectives the Austin TGA in accordance with the plans of our partners initiatives Ending the HIV Epidemic and Fast Track Cities. In 2019, there were 6,721 people living with HIV/AIDS (PWH) within the five county TGA, with over 100 new diagnoses that year. A majority (85%) of people with HIV are male. Among males, Whites have a higher prevalence at 42%, followed by Latinx at 36%. Black females comprise 48% of all females with HIV, while Black males comprise 16% of all males with HIV. Men who have sex with men (MSM) continue to bear a heavy burden of HIV in the Austin TGA. Table D demonstrates the distribution of mode of transmission by race/ethnicity among persons living with HIV in the Austin TGA. The most common mode of transmission was MSM (70%) for all races/ethnicities. MSM was the most …

Needs Assessment on Service Needs and Barriers for those in-care and out of care Year 2 Activity, Literature Review From responses of 2/4 FASPNA members, Understanding the impact of rising housing costs on HIV Health Care access is the most interested topic by having the highest score. Access the survey here: or visit surveymonkey.com/r/HIVPCY2NA The populations of interest are Black MSMs, Latinx MSMs, and Black WSMs from ages 14-34. Limited information related to transgender and gender diverse persons may be available depending on how various literature define gender. What does FASPNA think of these suggested topics and populations? The purpose of the literature review is to serve as a “special study” by compiling existing literature related to identified barriers and needs for PLWH in lieu of resurveying, to further explore a key identified issues from the survey administered in 2022. The focus will be for those who are lost to care or out of care compared to those in care, if possible. We hope to use the information compiled to be able to carry out focus groups that will begin planning in April to better understand factors that would help return PLWH to care and keep persons in care. Access to the system of care analysis and provider capacity and capabilities report is available on request.

For example the airport car rental installation using tail lights (left side, an excellent detail) to create a Swarm to reflect both nature and the nature of car use is brilliant. Visually her work is stunning both up close and at a distance. Her use of color with form is likely to create a pleasing balance with the architecture of the Palmer." "Amy's survey of submitted artwork showcased a timeless elegance mixed with contemporary edge that was both beautiful and impactful. Her repurposing of found material sends a visual environmental friendly message without being overbearing. Additionally I found that her use of more abstract design offers a versatility that would be perfect for the Palmer's multiple events." "Amy Landsberg is the correct choice that I chose originally as my recommendation for Palmer Events Center Artist. Their choice of patterns and colors drew me in as a spectator and found that their artistry would be engaging for the section of Palmers that it will be featured in.

Visually her work is stunning both up close and at a distance. Her use of color with form is likely to create a pleasing balance with the architecture of the Palmer." "Amy's survey of submitted artwork showcased a timeless elegance mixed with contemporary edge that was both beautiful and impactful. Her repurposing of found material sends a visual environmental friendly message without being overbearing. Additionally I found that …
Art in Public Places City of Austin Cultural Arts Division 5202 East Ben White Boulevard, Suite 400 Austin, TX 78741 512.974.7700 / aipp@austintexas.gov PROCESS SUMMARY Project Summary Palmer Events Center: Interior Installation The Palmer Events Center is undertaking a phased approach to add improvements through out the building starting with the restroom facilities. The City of Austin has grown rapidly into a top-ten preferred convention destination since opening the Austin Convention Center (ACC) in 1992 and expanding it in 2002. However, the existing Convention Center has insufficient space to accommodate the growth in event demand at the Center, while the facility itself creates a barrier between east and west, with no ground level interaction for the local community and visitors. Therefore, the ACC has begun the process of an expansion to its existing facility, to provide a larger, more efficient facility on a smaller footprint that will be a more active and community-friendly event space in the heart of Downtown Austin. The new Convention Center will nearly double the available rentable space at the Center and position us to compete for the next tier of convention business and build the convention center of tomorrow! Project Background • Expansion of the Austin Convention Center, in conjunction with ongoing initiatives including Waterloo Greenway, the Palm District, and Project Connect, will transform the southeast corner of downtown into a community-centric destination • The completed expansion project is estimated to generate an additional $285 million in yearly economic impact within the local community, provide nearly $13 million in additional annual tax revenue to the City, and support over 1,600 additional jobs. • The expansion will greatly expand the available rental space of the existing convention center, allowing the center to remain competitive in the convention center marketplace • Expansion is the result of nearly a decade of study, with all overwhelmingly supportive of an expansion of the Center. • On Aug. 8, 2019, the Austin City Council approved an increase in the municipal HOT rate of a further 2% for a Convention Center expansion, bringing the total City HOT rate to 11%. • The new Convention Center will be built using Hotel Occupancy Tax and the Convention Center’s revenues, with no reliance on property tax Public Art Goals & Priorities The artwork is intended to provide an aesthetic enhancement for an interior wall spanning the length of a narrow walkway of approximately 90 linear …
CALL TO ARTISTS Palmer Events Center: Interior Installation - Public Art Opportunity City of Austin (National): Art in Public Places (AIPP) Deadline for Submissions – 5:00PM CST: October 31, 2023 REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS The City of Austin Art in Public Places program (AIPP) seeks to commission a professional visual artist or artist-led team to design and fabricate a site-specific artwork that enhances the interior second story space of the Palmer Event Center located at 900 Barton Springs Rd, Austin, Texas 78704. https://www.palmereventscenter.com/ BACKGROUND The Palmer Events Center is nestled near Butler Park with amazing views of the downtown Austin skyline. Over 125,000 square feet of the multi-purpose venue spans is utilized for hosting national conventions, sporting events, theatrical performances and more. The Palmer Events Center (PEC) actually dates back to 1940 when the City of Austin purchased an airplane hangar on the south shores of Town Lake. The hangar was then converted into an all- purpose City Coliseum that opened to the public in 1949. A new structure was voted on as a part of the 1998 bond election which resulted in the highly used after events center today. The Palmer Events Center is a part of the Austin’s Convention Center Department. It is a state-of-the-art energy efficient facility powered by 100 percent renewable energy from Austin Energy’s Green Choice Program. As Austin continues to receive the nick-name “Silicon Hills”, the Events Center increasingly attracts tech conventions. PROJECT OVERVIEW The artwork is intended to provide an aesthetic enhancement for an interior wall spanning the length of a narrow walkway of approximately 90 linear feet and extending upward about 20 feet. The wall is located on the 2nd level of the open lobby space running parallel to functional decorative railing that together create a walkway to the Events Center offices. The artist or artist-led team selected for this project will be expected to coordinate with staff during the implementation of the project so as to minimally impact operations. This project is an opportunity for an artist to create a tactile, visually engaging artwork on the 2nd level of the main entrance lobby space of the Palmer Event Center. The artwork should consider the surrounding natural context of the space and earthy interior finishes. The final artwork could use technology to inform, illuminate, provide humor or narrative while visually engaging visitors and other users of the Palmer Event Center. APPROXIMATE BUDGET: $400,000 …
Josef Kristofoletti & Matthew Mazzotta Monday, October 14, 2019 Oct 14, 2019 Letter of Interest Artists: Josef Kristofoletti and Matthew Mazzotta Dear AUS Terminal Expansion Phase II Public Art Committee: Please consider our collaborative application for this call, from art team leader Josef Kristofoletti and artist Matthew Mazzotta. The artists are very excited to apply for this call, as this will be their first collaboration. They have known each other since 1999 when they were both students at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and have remained close collegues since leaving school. Both artists have worked together informally and often brainstorm together and ideate for each others practices. Both Josef and Matthew have worked internationally on large scale public art projects. Collectively they work spans the globe, with work throughout the US, Europe, the Middle East and Asia. Both their individual projects have received international awards and recognition. Their global experience and background makes this team a good fit for a public project at the Austin International Airport. The artists have already both had an initial site visit to the ABIA to study the new expansion project. Josef has been an Austin resident for the past ten years and Matthew has been traveling to the city for just as long. Matthew Mazzotta is also included in the Austin national prequalified list for AIPP. We believe the artist team’s aesthetic and experience would match the airport project goals. This artist collaboration feels uniquely qualified to undertake a project at the AUS Terminal, as their work focuses on creating site-specific spaces which serve as a point of attraction for diverse groups of people to come together and commingle - a trait they believe is of essence in designing for large scale public buildings such as airports with an active user group always in transit. This artist team is eager to explore these ideas at the Austin Airport and look forward to presenting a design proposal to the Airport Public Art Committee. Image List for Josef Kristofoletti & Matthew Mazzotta This mural was created on a 5,800 sq. ft. wall on a building that houses the control center for the ATLAS detector at CERN, a nuclear research facility outside of Geneva, Switzerland.

Arts Commission Recommendation Date: Subject: Improved Collection of HOT and Sustainability Fees from Short-Term Rentals Recommendation: The Arts Commission recommends that City Council direct the City Manager and City staff implement mechanisms to: 1. Improve and streamline STR licensure and compliance in order to increase HOT collection. Specifically, we recommend implementation of a tiered licensing system that clearly differentiates between nonresident whole-home operators and resident operators. This has a particular impact on the cultural community as artists and musicians increasingly seek to supplement their incomes by renting their primary residence (or ADU) as STRs. Both the Covid 19 pandemic and rising cost of living in Austin have put exceptional stress on cultural producers. Affordable STR licensing for resident-operators can help alleviate some of this burden, while also increasing compliance overall. 2. Require that City’s portion of Hotel Occupancy Taxes be collected automatically by STR platforms from the hosts, then remitted to the City. In addition to increasing compliance through an improved licensing process, HOT collection should occur at booking by requiring the platforms to include municipal HOT along with the State HOT. 3. Develop – in partnership with STR platforms – an “opt-out” cultural sustainability fee for each STR booking in the City of Austin, the proceeds from which would be used to establish a Cultural Sustainability Fund managed by a City partner for the support and preservation of music and cultural arts in Austin. Description of Recommendation and Rationale The Live Music Fund, Cultural Arts grants, and Heritage grants are funded through Hotel Occupancy Taxes. However, there are a large number of unlicensed STRs operating in Austin and, regardless of licensing, the City does not currently have a consistent mechanism for collecting municipal (HOT) from operators, leading to an estimated loss of $3M annually to music and cultural funding. In addition to alleviating the issues related to compliance, safety, and quality of life (see Tourism Commission Recommendations), the City can better support the Austin arts and music community by closing the STR HOT funding gap and leverage the STR model for additional cultural funding from visitors, through a voluntary, “opt-out fee” for each rental reservation (The “cultural sustainability fee”) Rationale: ● Music, cultural arts, and preservation in Austin are supported through the collection of hotel occupancy taxes from lodgings including short term rentals ● Currently unlicensed STRs do not remit HOT to the city. ● In February of 2024, …
