Food distribution will begin at 5:30 pm in the Carver Museum parking lot behind Kealing Middle School. This year’s festival will be hosted by NOOK Turner, founder of Jump On It, an organization dedicated to uniting youth and their families. Musical performances will be streamed “tiny desk style” and feature alternative R&B artist Alesia Lani, husband and wife hip-hop duo, Riders Against the Storm, indie R&B singer EimaraL Sol, lyricist Queen Deelah, and homegrown rapper/vocalist Anastasia. Festivities will conclude with spoken word offerings by Ebony Stewart, Faylita Hicks, Stephanie Lang, KB, and Joe Brundidge. An online raffle and auction will be hosted by Six Square’s Executive Director, Pamela Benson Owens, with a portion of the proceeds going to support Greater East Austin Youth Association (G.E.A.Y.A.) who has been organizing the City’s annual Juneteenth festivities for decades. Juneteenth commemorates the formal end of slavery in Texas on June 19, 1865. Colloquially known as “The Black 4th of July,” Juneteenth marks the beginning of an African American journey to create identities outside of enslavement. The Juneteenth Festival is not only a celebration of emancipation and commemoration of a distinctive past, but an opportunity for future generations to learn about our history. In a time when Black communities are disproportionately impacted by COVID-19 and the global pandemic has laid bare the historic inequalities that have plagued this country from its inception, it is critically important that the fight for Black Lives continues. Stay Black and Live, is a call to action, a celebration of a history and culture that is unapologetic.

Recommendations on Austin Energy Procurement of Utility-Enabled Distributed Solar and Program Design for Hard to Reach Customers June 15, 2020 The Resource Management Commission (Commission) supports Austin Energy’s work to enable expanded distributed solar programs and urges Austin Energy to move forward with implementation without delay. The Commission created an Access to Solar Working Group to develop recommendations for how best to expand access to solar for hard to reach customers who are limited income, renters, live in multifamily housing or are otherwise underserved by existing solar programs. Austin Energy assembled a Utility Enabled Rooftop Solar for Underserved Markets team, which included two members of the Resource Management Commission, to participate in the Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) e-Lab Forge workshop on September 16-18, 2019. Following the workshop, these two teams merged and met twice more to develop specific criteria for selecting host sites and program development. These recommendations are the result of consensus from that collective group. The Commission recommends that Austin Energy issue an RFP that allows developers to select host sites for Distributed Community Solar Installations. The Commission recommends the following criteria related to project selection: ● Minimum qualifications for proposed projects: ○ Ground mount proposals within the City of Austin limits must demonstrate that they are not using land suitable for agriculture. ○ Ground mount systems must demonstrate they are not using land suitable for ○ Developer covers costs from (including) the transformer to the point of generation ○ Require an end of life plan for recycling solar panels and meet any federal housing. requirements. ● Preferred criteria for proposed projects (When proposals are economically competitive Austin Energy will use these criteria to determine highest value.): ○ Plans that demonstrate a greater utilization of local workers compared to non- ○ Rooftop, carport, and other shade structure installations are preferred over local workers are preferred. ground mount ○ Faster development timeline ○ Prefer inclusion of MBE/WBE companies ○ Participating in local workforce development and/or diversity and inclusion ○ Demonstrable policy or approach to reduce systems’ life cycle environmental program impact The Commission recommends the following criteria be used to develop the energy user side of the program, and recognizes that lower cost power purchase agreements will serve to enable programmatic benefits: ● Subscription model ● Enable moderate and limited-income customers to participate without a cost premium to ensure equitable access to community solar programs. ● Ensure that moderate …

We respectfully request that the Arts Commission endorse the letter below, and recommend that City Council immediately designate $5 million in funding specifically for non-profit arts organizations to retain jobs and sustain operations during this pandemic and economic crisis. June 12, 2020 Dear Arts Commissioners, Thank you, The Undersigned Organizations Dear Mayor and Council Members, Thank you for your diligent and tireless work to minimize the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and for your leadership in the economic recovery of our city: from the assistance from the Austin Creative Space Disaster Relief Program and the Austin Music Disaster Relief Fund, to the crucial actions being taken to address police brutality and the systemic racism facing Black and other non-white Austinites. We write today to also bring to your attention to Austin’s non-profit cultural arts organizations and our thousands of employees. Our organizations are impacted by the local state of disaster due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and we are in desperate need of economic relief. Our organizations already operate with limited budgets and many with salaries below the median income level. We request that the Austin City Council immediately designate $5 million in funding specifically for non-profit arts organizations to retain jobs and sustain operations during this pandemic and economic crisis. These funds will accomplish two major goals: Protect and Promote Austin’s Economic Recovery 11,700 middle to low income jobs, $1.1 billion in economic activity, and $7.8 million in direct municipal tax revenues are generated by non-profit arts and cultural organizations. At least 177 cultural non-profit organizations neither have a physical venue, nor are a part of the Music sector, and are therefore not addressed by other COVID recovery grants. These organizations employ thousands of artists and administrators, and cannot survive without assistance. 1.78% of Austin’s economy is fueled by the creative sector, second in the United States only to the Bay Area. The World Bank and UNESCO have reported that investing in cultural recovery speeds both health and economic recovery outcomes. Protect Austin’s Endangered Cultural Landscape Austin is able to draw and retain both businesses and residents due to our unique cultural identity. But massive cuts in funding, rampant gentrification/increased costs of living, • • • • • • • and now – the overwhelming effects of the COVID19 pandemic threaten to destroy that identity. By bringing together people across economic and social divides, arts are essential to the health …
