Expansion and Empowerment of the Community Liaison Office Proposal to Expand and Elevate the Austin Police Department Community Liaison Office Overview: In order to strengthen community policing, build trust with minoritized communities, and ensure that feedback from impacted groups shapes department policy and practice, we propose expanding and elevating the Community Liaison Office within the Austin Police Department (APD). Key Changes Proposed: ● Structural Elevation: Move the Community Liaison Office out of the Public Information Office (PIO) and establish it as an independent division that reports directly to the Chief of Police (or a designated Assistant Chief). ● Role Expansion: Assign both a civilian liaison and a sworn officer liaison for each major minoritized community (such as LGBTQ+, Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino, Asian American/Pacific Islander, and Women). These teams would work in close partnership, giving community members the choice of engaging with a civilian or a sworn officer depending on the nature of their concern. ● Formalization of Sworn Officer Roles: Formalize the currently unofficial liaison roles many sworn officers already fulfill, making community liaison work an official, recognized part of their job duties and workload. ● Direct Communication Channels: Create dedicated public contact points (e.g., phone hotline numbers and emails) for each liaison team, and ensure they are prominently available on the APD website and communications. ● Training Responsibilities: Liaison officers would assist in training the broader police force on issues specific to their communities, such as: ○ Correct use of pronouns and respectful engagement with transgender residents ○ Cultural sensitivity and best practices for interacting with various minoritized groups ○ Awareness of systemic issues and culturally competent policing ● Commission and JIC Engagement: Require that liaisons regularly engage with their corresponding City of Austin Quality of Draft Life Commissions (e.g., the Asian American QOL Commission, the LGBTQIA+ Commission) and provide updates and receive input. The liaisons should act as bridges between community representation bodies and APD leadership. ● Policy Feedback Role: Empower liaison teams to provide policy recommendations to APD leadership informed by the needs of their respective communities, ensuring direct integration of lived experiences into policing policy. Goals of This Proposal: ● Create more accessible, transparent, and culturally competent channels for communication between APD and minoritized communities. ● Ensure that community voices—especially those represented by the city's various commissions and the Joint Inclusion Committee (JIC)—are actively heard and integrated into APD policies and practices. ● Build lasting trust …

Learn why this is important External Email - Exercise Caution Dear Ms. Boudreaux and Members of City Council, I’m writing as a resident of the Sage condos who lives along the southern edge of the proposed rezoning site at 1700 South Lamar (Zoning Case C14-2024-0163). I appreciate the City’s efforts to support increased housing and transit-oriented development, but I have concerns about the proposed height and its direct impact on the livability and character of our neighborhood. The proposed DB90 zoning would allow buildings up to 90 feet tall. From my home, this would likely block the open views I currently enjoy—views that contribute significantly to the sense of light, space, and overall quality of life on the southern edge of this site. Not to mention, the value of the property. I respectfully ask the City to consider a step-down height transition on the southern portion of the site, or some form of height limitation or setback to reduce the visual impact on neighboring homes and protect view corridors. At the very least, I hope the developer is required to provide a clear site plan and renderings before approval, so residents can understand the extent of the visual changes. Thank you for your time and for considering the real-world impacts these decisions have on residents. I would appreciate being notified of any future hearings or opportunities to …

As I provided in written communication to the Commission at your June 2025 meeting, I have owned and lived in a residential property immediately adjoining the property proposed for rezoning since 2013. Management of the property by the prior owner directly affected my quality of life, including disruption from frequent nighttime waste pickup, rodents, odor from port-a-potties placed against my 15 C14-2024-0163 - 1700 South Lamar; District 91 of 34 fence line and violent and loud activities in the unmonitored parking lot at night.

From: To: Subject: Date: Sean Duer Boudreaux, Marcelle Concern Regarding Zoning Case C14-2024-0163 – 1700 S. Lamar Tuesday, July 22, 2025 11:54:30 AM You don't often get email from . Learn why this is important External Email - Exercise Caution Dear Ms. Boudreaux and Members of City Council, I am writing as a resident of the Sage Condominiums, which directly border the southern edge of the proposed rezoning site at 1700 South Lamar (Zoning Case C14-2024-0163). I want to express my appreciation for the City’s ongoing efforts to promote increased housing options and support transit-oriented development. At the same time, I would like to share my concerns regarding the proposed height allowance and its potential impact on the character and livability of our neighborhood. The proposed DB90 zoning would permit structures up to 90 feet in height. From my home, this would likely result in a significant loss of the open views that currently provide light, a sense of space, and overall quality of life—factors that also contribute to property value. I respectfully urge the City to consider implementing a step-down height transition on the southern edge of the site, or to require a height limitation or setback that minimizes the visual and spatial impact on adjacent residences. At the very least, I ask that the developer be required to submit detailed site plans and visual renderings prior to any final approvals, so that residents can fully understand the scale and implications of the proposed changes. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. I would also appreciate being notified of any upcoming hearings or public engagement opportunities related to this case.

HISPANIC/LATINO QUALITY OF LIFE RESOURCE ADVISORY COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION 20250722-005 Support for Academia Cuauhtli Programming and Expansion Date: July 22, 2025 Subject: FY26 Budget Recommendations Motioned By: Commissioner Perales Seconded By: Commissioner Silva Recommendation The City of Austin needs to ensure equitable funding regarding youth recreational and educational programs. Residents have expressed continued concerns regarding the lack of culturally and linguistically research-based services for children and youth. We need to continue to sustain and expand cultural and multilingual programming for Austin students. Description of Recommendation to Council ● Allocate $106,000 for Academia Cuauhtli’s culturally and linguistically diverse arts programs; and ● Allocate $80,000 to create a full-time Culture and Arts Education Supervisor. Rationale There is a lack of places where youth can go to connect with their culture and heritage while simultaneously being provided academic support and life skills. Academia Cuauhtli is a free culture and language revitalization academy for school children and their parents. They use a curriculum focused on Indigeneity, social justice, Tejano history, traditional arts, and danza Mexica. The program serves working class, mostly Mexican, immigrant communities whose children attend schools within Austin Independent School District (AISD). The program embraces Emma S. Barrientos Mexican American Cultural Center’s (ESB- MACC) mission of collaborative engagement in service to our communities. Academia Cuauhtli also fulfills its mission through teacher preparation and mentorship by creating teacher support networks, hosting professional training workshops and conferences. The Bilingual Cultural Revitalization Saturday Academy offers ethnic studies and Danza Mexica instruction to AISD third- to fifth-graders at no cost, including breakfast and transportation. They serve an average of 200 students, 70 public school teachers, and 10 graduate students per year. The Saturday school runs from September through May. Academica Cuauhtli also has a summer STREAM Program in June and July. The interdisciplinary summer program integrates science, technology, reading, engineering, arts, and math with cultural learning. Additionally, a collaborative team conducts qualitative and quantitative research to document their programs’ impacts and to inform their practices. Teacher professional development is ongoing and led by university faculty, and it is tailored for Latinx and Indigenous educators. The professional development program runs from September through August. Academia Cuauhtli also has a transnational teacher preparation initiative (La Colaborativa) that bridges educators in Mexico and the U.S., and focuses on bilingual and culturally responsive pedagogy. Nuestro Grupo is a community-based collective of teachers, parents, and scholars that meet weekly to coordinate year-round …
