Connection Test ATX City of Austin, Telecom & Regulatory Affairs 1 Background and Purpose Connection Test ATX is a speed test that Austin residents can utilize via SpeedUpAmerica’s platform. This tool surveys respondents via wireless and wireline connections to test their speed, both upload and download, and advertised speed they are paying for internet service. This data can be mapped to a census block using an HTML code, by entering an address or using a browser location - using gateway code. This tool works in tandem with other community engagement initiatives to generate input to support Austin’s Legislative Agenda for the upcoming State Legislative Session this spring. It also helps City to advance an understanding of Austin community members' needs, and advances an opportunity for community engagement specific to digital access needs. Currently, we are in the process of galvanizing community and technical support, with the next step of working with community hackers to develop a technical framework for coding the tool. 2 Presentation from Matt and Alexandra from SpeedUpAmerica 3 1. 2. 3.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES- Minutes from the November 17, 2020 meeting will be approved at the February 2021 meeting 2. PRESESNTATION a. Parent Voice and Parent Leadership Initiative- Paola Silvestre Porras, Director Family Pathways, United Way for Greater Austin The vision of Family Pathways is more parents attain economic stability and more organizations are family focused. Ms. Silvestre Porras reviewed the 2-gen strategic plan for our community and the theory of change that will lead to greater economic mobility for families. She then talked about the parenting groups they started in October 2019- the Family Leadership Council (FLC) and Link-Up Austin. Key goals of FLC include having the expertise of parents with young children inform community-wide strategic plans and helping parent leaders influence systems change. Link-up Austin is made up of young parents and key goals include connecting them with leaders and experts and supporting them as they grow leadership and problem-solving skills. Ms. Silvestre Porras noted that the parents are considered consultants and are compensated after each session. She explained some unique aspects of the groups: parents are provided training (examples- public speaking, leadership skills, racial equity, advocacy, equity and inclusion); the content is tailored to needs of the group and does not follow a curriculum; they make sure parents have a seat at the table where decisions are being made about them- not just a voice; and they connect parents to opportunities to share their stories with change agents. Participants have joined organizational boards, spoken to large groups, and helped make decisions about funding allocations. Ms. Silvestre Porras also outlined 8 principles for engaging and centering parent voices. ECC members asked what issues were most important to the parents in the groups. Ms. Silvestre Porras said many are focused on digital equity issues especially since pandemic; access to child care and navigating a challenging child care system; and pathways to career and education so they can provide for their families.
