RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL Mayor’s Committee for People with Disabilities (MCPWD) Recommendation Number: [20261009-009]: Recommendation Regarding Public Statements, ADA Compliance, and Emergency Crisis Response Standards in Police-Involved Incidents Involving Individuals with Mental Health or Cognitive Disabilities WHEREAS, Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act mandate that public entities—including the City of Austin and the Austin Police Department (APD)—provide reasonable modifications in policies, practices, and procedures to ensure individuals with physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual, or developmental disabilities are not subjected to discrimination or preventable harm; and WHEREAS, acute psychiatric distress, post-traumatic stress, and cognitive or neurodivergent crisis fall under protected disability categories under federal law; and WHEREAS, the premature public characterization of police-involved shooting incidents—such as assigning the label "suicide by cop" prior to the completion of independent administrative, criminal, and disability-equity investigations—imposes unverified assumptions about a deceased individual’s mental state and shifts institutional responsibility for officer tactics and de-escalation onto the person experiencing a crisis; and WHEREAS, utilizing speculative psychiatric or motivational terms in official communications perpetuates stigma against individuals living with mental health disabilities and undermines community trust in city health and safety infrastructure; and WHEREAS, effective, disability-informed crisis response requires tactical patience, time, distance, non-coercive communication, and the immediate dispatch of specialized non-sworn mental health clinicians and co-responders rather than rapid, lethal force responses; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR’S COMMITTEE FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES THAT: The Committee recommends that the Mayor and Austin City Council adopt the following administrative and policy directives for the City of Austin and the Austin Police Department: 1. Prohibit Speculative Motive Terminology: Enact an administrative directive barring city officials and police leadership from publicly applying speculative or unverified psychological labels—including "suicide by cop" or "suicide by police"—to describe victims of officer-involved shootings before independent investigations are complete. The Texas Observer . 2. Standardize Neutral, Fact-Based Incident Reporting: Mandate that public communications regarding police encounters involving potential mental or behavioral health crises strictly report verifiable facts without asserting unconfirmed internal motives or diagnoses. 3. Reframe Crisis Response Under ADA Title II Compliance: Direct the City Manager and Chief of Police to audit APD’s Use of Force and Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) protocols through a disability-rights framework, ensuring that tactical patience, de-escalation, and reasonable accommodation for behavioral and cognitive disabilities are mandatory prior to any escalation to force. 4. Expand Clinician-Led Crisis Diversion: …

20261007 C&D Committee Memo — original pdf
Construction and Demolition Ordinance Reform Committee Meeting 10.07.26 Updates to the Construction & Demolition Recycling Ordinance Executive Summary Staff engaged stakeholders over four Zero Waste Advisory Commission (ZWAC) Construction and Demolition (C&D) Committee meetings to identify challenges and gaps with the existing C&D Recycling Ordinance. Stakeholders raised concerns about transparency at processing facilities and how recycled materials are handled. The Qualified Processor (QP) program was designed to eliminate these uncertainties but has had low participation since inception, with only two facilities becoming qualified over the life of the program. This indicates that the voluntary program does not present adequate incentive to encourage processors to become qualified. In response, staff has prepared proposed amendments to the Ordinance that require projects to deliver mixed C&D material to a QP and update the QP program to improve transparency, increase material diversion, and reduce administrative burden. Background and Findings The Qualified Processor program is voluntary, and few processors choose to participate. The City currently has one qualified processor, Texas Disposal Systems. Facilities processing mixed C&D material that are not QPs are not required to report facility-wide diversion or have diversion rates verified. Stakeholders report that without auditing or verification, facilities can claim diversion rates to customers that have not been verified, reducing market trust. The “2020 Economic Impact Study on C&D Diversion Requirements,” mandated by the C&D Ordinance, confirmed that there is little to no verification of diversion rates at non-QP facilities and recommended stronger oversight over the facilities. Staff researched C&D recycling policies in other U.S. communities with processing facility requirements, interviewing staff from Chatham County in North Carolina, Portland, Oregon and Oregon Metro, Seattle and King County in Washington, and San Francisco, California. Through those meetings, staff heard that third-party verification of facility diversion rates, rather than self-reporting, was preferred, and, in some cases, required to remain licensed or authorized to accept waste. San Francisco moved to an independent audit model after finding that facilities' self-reported recovery rates did not match observed performance, and King County partners with a third-party consultant to conduct annual residuals sampling at its designated facilities. Both King County and Seattle staff noted that processors sometimes adjusted operations on audit days — adding staff to sorting lines or slowing belt speeds — which limited the accuracy of scheduled inspections. Staff in San Francisco and King County also emphasized that source separation at the job site, rather than reliance …
Item 002 - 20261007 C&D Presentation — original pdf
C&D Committee Meeting Austin Resource Recovery | 10.07.2026 Stakeholder concerns ▪ Reporting integrity. Some non-QP diversion reports show estimates of materials diverted in a load, based on visual inspection, rather than weight. ▪ No consistent standards for processing facilities. A lack of standards for facilities who process mixed C&D material. 2 Require Affected Projects to Use a QP Affected projects include: ▪ Commercial and multifamily projects that require a demolition permit ▪ Construction projects that exceed 5,000 square feet of new, added, or remodeled floor area Details: ▪ Projects may still use source-separated recyclers (who do not need to be QPs) ▪ Current project diversion rate of ≥ 50% and disposal rate of ≤ 2.5 lbs of material per sqft will remain Benefit: Ensures material goes to an audited facility with verified diversion rates. 3 QP Audits Must Be Done by a City Contractor Details: ▪ Replace the Registered Evaluator (RE) Program with audits performed exclusively by City-selected contractors ▪ Auditors will be assigned to facilities on a rotating basis to reduce potential bias ▪ Current REs may apply to become City contractors Benefits: ▪ Establishes consistent audit requirements and fees. ▪ Assurance that materials are diverted at the facility’s verified rate. 4 Update the Qualified Processor Program Details: ▪ QPs maintain registration if the facility continues meeting requirements (e.g., audits, weighing systems, TCEQ permits) ▪ City-contracted auditor performs diversion rate audit every six months ▪ City posts ADRs publicly on ARR’s website for public transparency ▪ QP doesn’t have to submit six-month reports (City will handle through Contractor) Benefits: Increases transparency and reduces administrative work for QPs. 5 Next Steps ▪ Review proposed language changes ▪ Give feedback on the changes ▪ Staff finalize language and develop timeline 6 Require Affected Projects to Use a QP 7 QP Audits Must Be Done by a City Contractor 8 QP Audits Must Be Done by a City Contractor 9 Update the Qualified Processor Program 10 Update the Qualified Processor Program 11

ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE NUMBER: PR-2026-053670 HLC DATE: October 7, 2026 PC DATE: CC Date: APPLICANT: Gabe Joseph, Joseph Design Build HISTORIC NAME: WATERSHED: Lady Bird Lake ADDRESS OF PROPOSED ZONING CHANGE: 1109 Travis Heights Boulevard, Austin, TX 78704 ZONING CHANGE: SF-3-NP to SF-3-H-NP COUNCIL DISTRICT: 9 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Do not recommend historic zoning, as the property does not meet the required criteria. QUALIFICATIONS FOR LANDMARK DESIGNATION: architecture and historical associations. HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION ACTION: Initiated historic zoning on September 2, 2026 PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: CASE MANAGER: Austin Lukes, 512-978-0766 NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATIONS: Austin Neighborhoods Council, Friends of Austin Neighborhoods, Greater South River City Combined Neighborhood Plan Contact Team, Homeless Neighborhood Association, Overton Family Committee, Preservation Austin, South Central Coalition, South River City Citizens Association, Zoning Committee of South River City Citizens DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: This property was designated as a contributing resource to the Travis Heights-Fairview Park National Register historic district. BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION: Several Roy L. Moore buildings that retain more integrity than 1109 Travis Heights Blvd. have already been designated as City landmarks, including the Herbert and Alice Bohn House and the Stephen F. Austin Hotel. There are also other examples of Prairie Style design in the neighborhood, including nearby at 1310 Travis Heights Blvd, though this house does occupy a prominent location in the district. Finally, the associations with developer William T. Caswell as well as Elmer and Cora Young do not meet the designation requirements for historical associations. The Caswell Houses, located at 1404 and 1502 West Avenue, better embody the associations with the Caswell family. § 25-2-352(3)(c)(i) Architecture. The property embodies the distinguishing characteristics of a recognized architectural style, type, or method of construction; exemplifies technological innovation in design or construction; displays high artistic value in representing ethnic or folk art, architecture, or construction; represents a rare example of an architectural style in the city; serves as an outstanding example of the work of an architect, builder, or artisan who significantly contributed to the development of the city, state, or nation; possesses cultural, historical, or architectural value as a particularly fine or unique example of a utilitarian or vernacular structure; or represents an architectural curiosity or one-of-a-kind building. This American Foursquare house with Prairie School stylistic influences was constructed around 1920. The two-story house features a hipped roof with broad overhangs. The full-width, hipped-roof porch has a long, open span supported at …

QUALIFICATIONS FOR LANDMARK DESIGNATION: architecture and historical associations. HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION ACTION: Initiated historic zoning on September 2, 2026 PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: CASE MANAGER: Austin Lukes, 512-978-0766 NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATIONS: Austin Neighborhoods Council, Del Valle Community Coalition, East Austin Conservancy, Friends of Austin Neighborhoods, Homeless Neighborhood Association, Organization of Central East Austin Neighborhoods , Overton Family Committee , Preservation Austin, Swede Hill Neighborhood Association, Waterloo Greenway DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The 2016 East Austin Historic Resource Survey recommends the building as eligible for designation as a local landmark and as a contributing resource to a potential local historic district. However, additional research did not reveal sufficient historical associations to recommend historic zoning. BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION: § 25-2-352(3)(c)(i) Architecture. The property embodies the distinguishing characteristics of a recognized architectural style, type, or method of construction; exemplifies technological innovation in design or construction; displays high artistic value in representing ethnic or folk art, architecture, or construction; represents a rare example of an architectural style in the city; serves as an outstanding example of the work of an architect, builder, or artisan who significantly contributed to the development of the city, state, or nation; possesses cultural, historical, or architectural value as a particularly fine or unique example of a utilitarian or vernacular structure; or represents an architectural curiosity or one-of-a-kind building. This wide, single-story house was built with National Folk elements and features an inset porch at the northeast corner. The porch is supported by a single metal support structure in the front corner which is attached to a short metal rail. The front door is set at the rear of the porch, next to a single- hung window. A tripartite window assembly is present at the other half of the front façade, surrounded by ample wood trim painted blue. Narrow wood siding clads the entire house and, while sagging in some areas, is overall in repairable condition. Due to the width of the house, the moderately pitched hipped roof form visually dominates over the property. It is clad in composition shingle and features a …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Certificate of Appropriateness October 7, 2026 PR-2026-008188; GF-2026-025308 Robertson/Stuart & Mair Historic District 1005 East 8th Street 5 – 1 Proposal Demolish a ca. 1906 house listed as contributing to a local historic district. Architecture The house at 1005 East 8th St. was likely originally constructed as a single story building, with the sloping elevation of the site creating a crawlspace or cellar to the east side of the building footprint. Since its construction, this has been enclosed, and a rear addition built, increasing the enclosed area of the building. However, the U-shaped form and Folk Victorian elements still read legibly, and decorative elements, especially at the front porch and gable ends, remain present. The integrity of the architecture is strong and the property remains contributing to the Robertson/Stuart & Mair historic district. Research For the first 30 years after construction, the property went through a series of renters, made up of families and individuals employed by various local industries and services, including carpenters, foundry workers, and porters. The first long term owners were Ernest & Marie Kemp, who operated a local grocery. Marie Kemp continued to live at the address after her husband’s death, but by the 1950s, the property was vacant before becoming subdivided for oil industry and other professional offices. A third housing unit was added in 1970, indicating that this property continued use as residential rentals. An overnight fire occurred at the property on November 12th, 20251. Department Comments This application will time out on October 13, 2026. Property Evaluation The property contributes to the Robertson/Stuart & Mair Historic District. Staff Recommendation Grant the applicant requested postponement to the November 4, 2026 Historic Landmark Commission meeting. 1 “Firefighter injured in East Austin house fire, investigation underway”. https://cbsaustin.com/news/local/afd-responding-to- house-fire-in-east-austin-no-injuries-reported Location Map 5 – 2 Property Information Photos 5 – 3 Texas Historical Commission, photograph, May 29, 1975.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Certificates of Appropriateness October 7, 2026 C14H-1982-0001-f; PR-2026-018321, HR-2026-112231 Larmour Block F 916 Congress Avenue 6 – 1 Proposal Install a new storefront and security grille. Install egress doors in wall between 916 and 918 Congress Avenue. Retroactively permit raised wooden deck and pavers, installed behind the façade. Project Specifications 1) The proposed new fenestration includes fully glazed aluminum fire doors between 916 and 918 Congress. 2) The proposed new storefront comprises three bays. It features molded wood trim, transom windows above each bay, and a wood trifold door at the central bay. The flanking openings are infilled with metal security grilles and gates. 3) The project includes retroactive approval of pavers and an event stage constructed previously without historic review at the rear of the now-exterior courtyard. Architecture Two-part 1876 commercial block with Italianate stylistic influences, limestone masonry, and arched second-floor windows with decorative stonework. The original storefront was lost, likely during the 1930s or 1940s. See Department Comments for discussion of previous modifications. Design Standards The City of Austin’s Historic Design Standards (March 2021) are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and are used to evaluate projects at historic landmarks. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Repair and alterations 1. General Standards 1.1 Do not remove intact historic material from the exterior of a building. Removal of historic material occurred prior to the current proposal. See Department Comments above. 1.2 Always attempt repair first. Replacement should only be undertaken when absolutely necessary, and for the smallest area possible. The proposed project seeks to replace some of the missing storefront elements. 1.3 When historic material must be replaced due to damage or deterioration, replacement materials should look the same, perform reliably within the existing construction, and, in most cases, be made of the same material. The proposed new storefront is constructed of wood trim with a wooden door and security grilles. While the trim is appropriate, the security grilles in place of glazed or partially glazed fenestration are not, and the transom windows are not appropriately glazed. 1.4 Do not attempt to re-create an architectural detail or element without proof that it existed on the building historically. Documentation can be physical (traces on the building), written (such as building plans), or photographic. The proposed new front storefront is similar in proportions to the previous storefront, with two exceptions: …
