RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL LGBTQ Quality of Life Commission Recommendation Number: xxxxxx__-___: Bettie Naylor Street Safety Corridor Date of Approval: [Insert Date] ⸻ Recommendation The LGBTQ Quality of Life Commission recommends that the Austin City Council direct the City Manager to immediately establish a Bettie Naylor Street Safety Corridor by permanently restricting general vehicular traffic on West Fourth Street between Colorado Street and Lavaca Street, except for emergency vehicles and permitted commercial deliveries, and to implement coordinated safety mitigation, infrastructure, and venue preplanning measures. Description of Recommendation to Council 1. Austin Incident and Proximity Risk On March 1, 2026, a mass shooting occurred in Austin's West Sixth Street entertainment district, resulting in multiple fatalities and numerous injuries. Public reporting indicates that the suspect drove repeatedly around the block prior to initiating gunfire from a vehicle. The LGBTQIA+ venue The Iron Bear, located at Sixth Street and Lavaca Street, sits approximately four blocks from the incident location. Numerous LGBTQIA+ bars, theaters, bookstores, and community gathering spaces operate along and adjacent to West Fourth Street in close proximity. No permanent vehicle mitigation or corridor restriction measures have been implemented on Bettie Naylor Street following this incident. 2. National Precedent and Foreseeable Risk On January 1, 2025, a vehicle-ramming attack on Bourbon Street in New Orleans killed at least 14 people and injured dozens more. Federal authorities investigated the incident as terrorism and national security experts emphasized the vulnerability of dense entertainment corridors to hostile vehicle attacks. More than one year has passed since that incident. The March 1, 2026 Austin shooting further demonstrates vehicle-enabled reconnaissance behavior in a similar nightlife environment. These events reflect established attack patterns involving: ● Firearms and/or knife attacks at entertainment venues; ● Hostile vehicle use in pedestrian corridors; ● Rapid attacker scenarios in nightlife districts. These risks are documented and foreseeable. 3. Bettie Naylor Street Designation Between Congress Avenue and Rio Grande Street, West Fourth Street is designated Bettie Naylor Street, a historic and internationally recognized LGBTQIA+ entertainment and business district. This corridor serves as a cultural, civic, and economic asset for the City of Austin and attracts visitors nationally and internationally. 4. Permanent Vehicle Restriction and Infrastructure The Commission recommends: 1. Permanent restriction of general vehicular traffic on West Fourth Street between Colorado Street and Lavaca Street; 2.

Carlos Greaves, Chair, called the Community Police Review Commission meeting to order at 3:02 p.m. Commissioners in Attendance: Carlos Greaves, Chair Ruben De La Paz Darrick Eugene Terry Flood Lee Peterman Kathy Russell Commissioners Absent: Laura Cortes Franco, Vice Chair Christopher Harris Lauren Peña PUBLIC COMMUNICATION: GENERAL Peter Hunt spoke about a January 5 incident in South Austin in which APD officers responding to a disturbance reportedly identified an ICE administrative warrant for a woman at the scene and referred her to ICE, after which she was taken into custody and deported. He suggested the CPRC consider conducting a community review of the interaction to determine whether proper procedures were followed and noted that a formal complaint may not be possible since the individual involved is no longer in the country. He also raised broader concerns about APD policies related to administrative warrants. Judy Bradford presented testimony on behalf of a community member identified as “MTL,” describing a racially motivated attack near her home that was not reported to police due to fear and distrust of law enforcement. Ms. Bradford stated that this fear may discourage residents from reporting crimes and asked the Commission to review claims that officers may not always distinguish between judicial and administrative warrants. Ian McAdams spoke about concerns regarding cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities. He stated that local police do not have independent authority to 1 Community Police Review Commission – Meeting Minutes Friday, February 27, 2026 detain individuals solely for civil immigration violations and raised concerns that such actions could present constitutional issues.

APO Mediation Program Overview Police–community mediation is a structured, voluntary process that helps resolve conflicts between community members and police o(cid:431)icers through dialogue rather than discipline or force. It focuses on rebuilding trust, improving communication, and creating mutually acceptable solutions. Police–community mediation is a confidential, facilitated conversation between a community member and a police o(cid:431)icer, guided by a neutral mediator. It is used when someone files a complaint or when a conflict arises that would benefit from dialogue rather than punitive action. Austin Police Oversight’s (APO) Complaint Mediation Program emphasizes collaboration, respect, and voluntary participation. APO has entered into an Agreement with the Dispute Resolution Center (DRC) to establish a collaborative framework to provide mediation services for interactions between members of the public and APD o(cid:431)icers in which the public has submitted a complaint regarding alleged police misconduct. The goal of mediation is to provide a safe, confidential, and voluntary space where conflicts between complainants and o(cid:431)icers can be communicated openly to work towards mutually acceptable resolutions, facilitated by an impartial third- party mediator. APO’s Mediation Policy will be in compliance with the following directives: 1. 2024 Agreement between City of Austin and the Austin Police Association (APA) Article 17, Disciplinary Actions, Demotion, & Appeals • Section 16 2 Austin Police Department (APD) General Orders GO 902.6.5 Investigations Handled Through Mediation 3 Austin Police Oversight (APO) Complaint Division Operational Procedures Chapter 10 Mediation

Council Committee, Boards and Commission Action: April 15, 2026 – To be reviewed by the Water and Wastewater Commission. Additional Backup Information: During an October 2015 storm, the existing 16-inch reclaimed water main in the Country Club West Creek on the east side of Krieg Fields was exposed and damaged. The damaged main was a source of reclaimed water for a large volume customer, the Krieg Softball Complex, and provided a bulk fill station for Austin Parks and Recreation. The replacement main was part of a larger project sponsored by Austin Watershed Protection; however, the proposed elevation would not guarantee the new reclaimed water main against future damage, Austin Water decided to remove the scope. This project will replace the reclaimed water main with approximately 1,150 feet of 16-inch ductile iron, 20- inch High-Density Polyethylene pipe (HDPE), and its accessories. Because the soil in the area erodes easily, the longterm fix is to install the new pipe deeper and outside the erosion zone using horizontal drilling. By moving the new line out of the erosion zone, the replacement main will provide customers with a more reliable and resilient source of reclaimed water. Item 8 Water & Wastewater Commission: …
