PUBLIC SAFETY COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION Austin Police Department Virtual Magistration Pilot Program January 8, 2024 Date: Subject: Motioned by: Rebecca Bernhardt Seconded by: Nelly Paulina Ramirez Recommendation: The Public Safety Commission recommends Pilot program in early 2024. WHEREAS, the Austin Police Department is planning to roll out a Virtual Magistration WHEREAS, the process of prescreening arrests, where the Travis County County Attorney’s Office and District Attorney’s Office attorneys review arrest affidavits and decide which cases proceed to prosecution, saves the Travis County taxpayers resources by preventing people who are not going to be prosecuted from being jailed at taxpayer expense; WHEREAS, Travis County operates an experienced pretrial services office that provides detailed information, including risk assessments and criminal history, relied upon by City of Austin Magistrates in making their bond decisions; WHEREAS, the work of Travis County Pretrial Services has been studied and has the documented benefits to Travis County of decreasing incidents where dangerous arrestees are released on bond and commit new violence as well as ensuring low-risk arrestees are likely to be released; WHEREAS, it is unclear how the Austin Police Department plan to duplicate the expertise and services provided by Travis County Pretrial Services and it is unlikely they will be able to do so; WHEREAS, if the Austin Police Department operates the magistration pilot without effective pretrial services screening of arrestees, it is likely to decrease public safety and instability in the Austin community; WHEREAS, Travis County continues to work to incorporate counsel at first appearance into their processes and there is no plan to enable incorporation of counsel in the Virtual Magistration Pilot program: WHEREAS, the Virtual Magistration Pilot program does not appear to allow for the provision of counsel at magistration, either for appointed counsel or retained counsel, potentially violating the 6th Amendment of the US Constitution; WHEREAS, the Virtual Magistration Pilot program does not appear to allow for the ability of the public to view magistration proceedings, thereby potentially resulting in an “open courts” violation of the 1st Amendment of the US Constitution; WHEREAS, the Austin Police Department plans to operate a holding facility at APD Headquarter; WHEREAS, APD Headquarters is considered functionally obsolete by the City of Austin and slated to be replaced in the next few years with a new, more appropriate facility; WHEREAS, Austin Police operated a “city jail facility” in APD Headquarters until 2000, when Austin and Travis County consolidated …

We recognize the desire to magistrate arrestees as efficiently as possible and to be fiscally responsible with the City’s resources and agree that these are worthwhile objectives. These aims, however, should not come at the expense of the integrity of our community’s magistration process. As the judges of the courts where these cases will ultimately be heard, we have important concerns about the proposed process, including: • The proposal works against the progress made toward providing counsel at magistration. Providing arrestees with counsel at first appearance (CAFA) is a goal that the Travis County criminal judiciary strongly supports and has been working to implement along with the Travis County Commissioners Court, the Travis County Sheriff’s Office, Travis County prosecutors, and the defense bar. We know that moving toward CAFA is also important to the City of Austin, as acknowledged in DocuSign Envelope ID: C500BA73-5807-4675-A9CE-2179A04170C0 Resolution Number 20200409-030, adopted April 9, 2020. Providing counsel at magistration is of great concern to the community and major steps have been taken toward the implementation of this process. Notably, the County Commissioner’s Court has already devoted $1.5 million to retrofit the jail for the sole purpose of assisting with counsel representing people at their first appearance before a magistrate. Instituting a system that not only takes arrestees away from Central Booking but also utilizes a virtual magistration system where they do not see the judge in person is a countermeasure to this aim and works against the goals of our …

Austin Public Safety Commission Austin Police Department Booking and Magistration Process January 8, 2024 Background: Post-Arrest Processes 1. Immediate post-arrest actions occur at Travis Central Booking Facility (“Central Booking”) 2. Central Booking – owned by Travis Co., operated by Travis County Sheriff’s Office (“TCSO”) 3. APD arrests = 60-65% of all arrests processed at Central Booking 4. City and Travis County have interlocal agreement (since 1983) to share duties, responsibilities, and costs at Central Booking 1 Background - Virtual Magistration Project Summer 2023: City of Austin & Travis County began renegotiating Central Booking Interlocal Agreement Costs: Previous annual cost: $6.9M County’s recommendation to move forward: $14.5M New negotiated annual cost: $9.9M Post-Arrest Process Reevaluation • City Issues: 1. Cost – while City’s cost will increase from $6.9M to $9.9M (FY23 to FY24), the percentage of APD arrests at Central Booking is decreasing (FY22 = 64.66%; FY23 = 61.2%) 2. Efficiency – in light of staffing shortages APD needs to minimize arresting officer time spent at Central Booking • Conclusion: evaluate feasibility of alternative post-arrest processes 5 What We Found APD can complete all of the same forms and processes required for the magistration process off-site from Central Booking Comparison of Processes Examples of forms and processes completed: Current TCSO Magistration Process APD Virtual Magistration Process PC Affidavit PC Affidavit Mental health pre-screening Mental health pre-screening Financial questionnaire Financial questionnaire PSRS Checklist PSRS Checklist Computerized Criminal History (CCH) Computerized Criminal History (CCH) TCSO Odyssey Review TCSO Odyssey Review No CAFA, but will in the future No CAFA, but will in the future Next Steps 1. Continued work on design of an alternative post-arrest process 2. Mock trial testing of alternative process (Q1 2024) 3. Ongoing legal review to ensure both state law compliance and protection of arrestee rights 4. Continuing dialogue with Travis Co. re current interlocal contract and potential future alternatives 7 Questions?

The Musician Treatment Foundation of Austin Texas Inc.

These injuries can happen when they are at home or away from home on tour. MTF Mission The Musician Treatment Foundation’s core mission is to help provide free upper limb orthopedic care for eligible under- and uninsured professional musicians.

MUSIC COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION 20240108-13 Seconded By: Commissioner Blevins Date: January 8, 2024 Subject: Music Commission Budget Recommendations Motioned By: Chair Medicharla Recommendation Support the RRCD with GAP funding on par with other cultural districts until a comprehensive district plan is complete. Description of Recommendation to Council Support the Red River Cultural District (RRCD), a State and Local Cultural District with gap funding on par with other cultural districts currently being supported, in the interim whilst a comprehensive district plan is being prepared by the City of Austin. Rationale: The Red River Cultural District (RRCD) was designated a State Cultural District in 2020 by the Texas Commission of the Arts and a local Cultural District by the City of Austin in 2013. With over dozen independent music venues, RRCD provides significant support to local musicians and performers annually through direct financial support and fosters 1000+ music and service industry jobs in the district, also serving as a backbone to tourism and economic generators such as SXSW, ACL, Levitation, Oblivion Access, GTHS Oktoberfest and more. The district annually hosts two signature all-ages free-to-public events (Free Week and Hot Summer Nights in the winter and summer months when business historically slows down). The music commission recommends that gap funding be provided to RRCD on par with other cultural districts currently being supported, in the interim whilst a comprehensive district plan is being prepared by the City of Austin. This gap funding would help provide vital support to RRCD venues and to the impact they have on artists and industry workers, while other horizontal issues including creation of the comprehensive district plan are being addressed.
