Agenda Item 2a: Presentation by Chris Stewart on CTM — original pdf
City of Austin Public-Private Partnership PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE NETWORK NODES 1 The Impending Tsunami of physical infrastructure within cities More antennas. A lot more antennas 5G is often described as revolutionary, but the installation of 5G infrastructure is needed before that revolution can become a reality. So far, the battles for infrastructure have been contests between cities and the four major wireless companies. But, very soon, Intelligent Transportation System and Edge Compute vendors will be joining fray and the politics of access to city infrastructure. The issue for cities is the increased number of antennas. Unlike existing networks, which use towers that can cover many square miles, 5G uses small-cell waves that don’t travel as far and rely on line of sight between antennae and a phone or device. That means lots and lots and lots of equipment installed on utility poles throughout a city, or as the industry calls it: “network densification.” Each set of boxes must be connected to underground fiber networks, and each needs a power supply, both of which are available on or near streetlights and telephone poles.

. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION ZERO WASTE ADVISORY COMMISSION Recommendation Number: (20201014‐2B): Resolution Supporting the Austin Climate Equity Plan WHEREAS, the City Council passed Resolution No. 20150604‐048 adopting the Austin Community Climate Plan and creating the Joint Sustainability Committee; and WHEREAS, the Austin Community Climate Plan includes a schedule for reporting and updates, with a full plan revision in 2020; and WHEREAS, the harmful effects of climate change, including floods, droughts, heat waves and wildfires, are worsening in the Austin area and around the world; and WHEREAS, the “Global Warming of 1.5 °C” issued in 2018 by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change illustrates that keeping the average global temperature increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius will help to avoid severe effects of climate change, including ecosystems collapsing, that will very likely occur if warming reaches 2 degrees Celsius; and WHEREAS, low‐income communities and communities of color in Austin and around the world are the most impacted by extreme weather and pollution despite having contributed least to the drivers of climate change and pollution; and WHEREAS, harmful land use and the refusal to create or enforce real environmental regulations continue to disproportionately expose communities of color to environmental harms, leading to unjust quality of life outcomes both historically and today; and WHEREAS, low‐income communities and communities of color must be prioritized to receive the disproportionate benefits of the transition to a pollution‐free society to remedy disproportionate harm done historically and presently; and WHEREAS, if we design and implement programs to serve low‐income communities and communities of color, we will positively impact all residents in the Austin area; and WHEREAS, the Paris Agreement within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change set a goal of “keeping a global temperature rise this century well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre‐ industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase even further to 1.5 degrees Celsius”; and . WHEREAS, current international, federal, state and local commitments to greenhouse gas reduction fall short of what is needed to keep average global warming to either 1.5 or 2 degrees Celsius and the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s “Emissions Gap Report 2019” illustrates the significant magnitude in the gap between international commitments and needed emissions reductions; and WHEREAS, the City of Austin is a member of C40 Cities, a network of global cities committed to addressing climate change; and WHEREAS, C40 Cities has developed …

The idea is to take the data, do the analytics and give the big picture insights so that teams can then turn that information into action items to better serve their customers. We collect research data and customer survey data. We also combine that with a lot of other data from other platforms We are able to pull ARR customers and tie that information to Census data or economic data to make sure that we are getting a representative sample every time we do a survey. We’re going to talk specifically about ARR today. We are gathering awareness and satisfaction insights, but also supporting strategic outcomes that the group might have. We build on existing data and we also communicate the impact of those results. We started back in 2015 by conducting a phone survey, since then we’ve moved the survey to on-line. In FY19 we had over 1000 responses. That’s a very good sample for any statistical analysis. As we’ve seen in the past, we don’t have al to of Spanish completions. We …

Item 3b Community Services Division/Neighborhood Services Unit Austin Public Health Strategic Plan 2020 -- 2024 Introduction In 2015, the US Department of Health and Human Services Department issued Information Memorandum No. 138 establishing organizational standards for Community Action Agencies (CAAs) who receive Community Services Block Grant funding. To ensure all CAAs began working toward meeting these standards, the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs requested documentation of approval of the Strategic Plan by the CSBG Advisory Board, in addition to specific Goals, Objectives, Strategy, Outcome and Output Measures included in the Strategic Plan. Austin Public Health’s Community Services Division/Neighborhood Services Unit (NSU) serves as the CSBG Community Action Agency for Travis County. The NSU uses CSBG funding as the primary source of support for the services provided by the Department’s six (6) neighborhood centers, including the Montopolis Community Center, a new permanent site, and three (3) outreach locations. In 2020, NSU also expanded services two to additional satellite locations in the Rundberg neighborhood and far East Austin. Austin Public Health has its own strategic plan. NSU submits a specific strategic plan for the work supported by CSBG through its Neighborhood Centers to meet TDHCA’s expectations. 2020 has been a year to remember due to the COVID-19 global pandemic. The NSU continues to adapt to unpredictable circumstances and the predictable needs of our neighborhood center’s communities. The Community Development Commission continues to serve as the required CSBG Advisory Board. To develop the Strategic Plan for the work supported by CSBG through its Neighborhood Centers, several internal strategic planning sessions were conducted with 35+ employees which identified priorities to be addressed in the next five years. Moving forward, we will continue to work with Department leadership to ensure this Strategic Plan works hand in hand with the basic needs of our community. II. Purpose TDHCA’s Strategic Planning Guide cites several key factors that have served as our purpose for our strategic planning efforts: • To meet CSBG program requirements and CSBG grant purpose to address the reduction of poverty, the revitalization of low- income communities, and empower low-income persons to become self-sufficient • To demonstrate participation of low-income individuals in CAAs activities. • To produce decisions and actions that guide the organization’s program operations • To help prioritize efforts and determine the allocation of resources • To improve effectiveness and efficiency through agreed upon strategies and goals III.
