Bond Election Advisory Task Force Final Recommendation Dave Sullivan BEATF member Environmental Commission, June 3, 2026 BEATF History • City Council Resolution No. 20240718-093 directed the City Manager to prepare and present a comprehensive bond package for a bond election no later than November 2026. • Bond Election Advisory Task Force (BEATF) was designated by City Council Resolution 20240829-138 to suggest projects for consideration for a comprehensive general obligation (GO) bond election. • 22 members, each Council member appointing 2 members. • GO bonds pay for capital projects – buildings, roads, land purchase, parks, sidewalks, stormwater controls, etc., not operations and maintenance. BEATF History • BEATF met twice a month (generally) and created 6 work groups to consider potential bond items: • Community Engagement • Stormwater/Watershed Protection • Parkland and Open Space • Affordable Housing • Facilities and Assets (Libraries, Rec Centers, etc.) • Transportations and Electrification • City staff presented a list of $3.9 billion worth of city capital needs. BEATF History • A City Council “sub-quorum” suggested a smaller ~$375M to $400M bond package, and the BEATF obliged. This smaller package included $250M-$260M for Parks & Open Space, $50M-$60M for Facilities & Assets, and $70M-$80M for Transportation. • From our Community Engagement WG research, Housing and Transportation are the top priorities. Across all engagement methods, these categories emerged as the most consistent and widely supported, with additional support for quality-of-life investments such as parks, recreation, and community facilities. • City staff has proposed postponing the GO Bond election from Nov. 2026 to Nov. 2028. In 2028 we would have a larger number of voters, and debt from earlier bond elections paid off. $200M $147M $175M $113.4M $131M Watershed / Stormwater projects Stormwater$MOpen Space Acquisition12Small Scale Stormwater & Drainage Asset Management9Stormwater & Drainage Partnership Opportunities14Stormwater Resilience Program3Tannehill Creek - Bartholomew Park Stormwater Treatment Retrofit1.4Walnut Creek - North Acres Storm Drain4Tannehill Creek - Morris Williams Stormwater Improvements8.5Boggy Creek - Kealing Park Green Infrastructure Program1.3Walnut Creek - McNeil Dr Low Water Crossing Improvements1.5Colorado River - CAPEX Water Quality Control21.65Williamson Creek - Brassiewood Dr. Ph 3 Neighborhood Stormdrain Improvements20Boggy Creek - MLK TOD Stormwater Conveyance Improvements Ph 31.5Waller Creek - Guadalupe St Flood Risk Reduction Project Ph 1-315.575Total113.425 Well, we proposed a little more than $750M • City staff’s recommendation reflected a different set of priorities than those used by the BEATF, and proposed $0 for Affordable Housing, • $251M for Transportation …

WHEREAS, the City of Austin Commission for Women is tasked with advising the City Council on issues affecting the economic security, health, and well-being of women and girls in our community; and WHEREAS, research, including the recently released Harvard Impact Study, demonstrates that personalized, integrated student supports lead to stronger academic outcomes, higher lifetime earnings, and increased local tax contributions; and WHEREAS, young girls in Central Texas, particularly those from under-resourced backgrounds, face unique barriers to education including lack of access to mental health services, basic needs, and mentorship; and WHEREAS, Communities In Schools (CIS) of Central Texas provides a proven “ecosystem of support” by placing dedicated program managers directly on campuses to provide case management, crisis intervention, and academic guidance; and WHEREAS, the support provided by CIS has been shown to empower young girls by improving attendance, graduation rates, and self-efficacy, thereby reducing their long-term involvement with public assistance systems; and WHEREAS, the City of Austin is committed to a Racial Equity Plan that seeks to eliminate disparities in outcomes for all residents, with education being a primary driver of such equity. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Commission recommends the Austin City Council allocate funding—specifically as part of the Social Services budget—to Communities In Schools of Central Texas to sustain and expand its campus-based services.

. RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL Joint Inclusion Committee (JIC) Recommendation Number: [20260527-XXX]: Inclusion of Infrastructure Equity and Medical Resilience in the Pilot Knob Library & Resilience Hub Project WHEREAS, the Pilot Knob area is experiencing a rapid influx of high-density data centers equipped with advanced power hardening, while surrounding legacy residential neighborhoods remain on an aging grid; and WHEREAS, data center industrialization creates voltage fluctuations that pose a high risk of motor failure for standard residential HVAC systems and life-saving medical equipment, such as oxygen concentrators, ventilators, and power chairs; and WHEREAS, the medically vulnerable and disabled community in surrounding Austin neighborhoods, particularly those located within historically underserved District 2, face disproportionate life-safety risks during localized outages, making standard "cooling centers" insufficient for their needs; and WHEREAS, the City must ensure that infrastructure improvements made for industrial growth are extended to residential circuits to prevent vulnerable residents from being left on a "second-class" grid. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Joint Inclusion Committee (JIC) encourage the Austin City Council to formally include specific language and funding in the November 2026 Bond to ensure the Pilot Knob Library and Resilience Hub serves as a high-capacity "Medical Triage Anchor". This includes scaling the facility for specialized medical plug-in capacity, coordinating with Austin Energy for residential grid hardening, and equipping the hub with industrial-grade redundant power systems to support medical devices.
