August 20, 2026 Historic Preservation Office City of Austin, Texas preservation@austintexas.gov RE: Condition of Existing Masonry at 1614 Preston Avenue, Austin, Texas 78703 Mr. Lukes and Members of the Historic Landmark Commission, I am the general contractor for the proposed renovation and second-story addition at 1614 Preston Avenue. I have over 20 years of experience in residential construction in Austin and Central Texas, including work on homes of this era, and with the kinds of masonry challenges present at 1614 Preston. This letter details my professional assessment of the condition of the existing masonry, the origin of the present issues, and my recommendation. On the structural questions, I have relied on the concurring opinion of the project’s structural engineer, Bradley Shaw. The existing stone masonry at 1614 Preston does not extend around the building. The stone is present on the front and along a little more than half of the left side. The remaining walls are not stone- clad. In my assessment, significant portions of this masonry do not appear original to the 1939 structure. This is most apparent at the chimney and along the Jefferson Street side. This conclusion is based on the variation in the stone’s cut and color, differences in coursing and mortar, and the way the stonework terminates, particularly at and around the chimney and the earlier addition area. These observations are consistent with the property’s other evidence of prior additions, as well as the structural engineer’s findings. The existing masonry is deteriorating and cannot be reliably stabilized. I observe cracking and displacement within the stonework, failed mortar joints, and clear evidence of chronic moisture intrusion. This evidence includes staining, dampness, and heavy biofilm growth in areas that appear to remain persistently wet rather than occasionally damp. The concentration of biofilm at grade and across the lower half of the wall is consistent with water collecting and remaining at the base of the wall, from ground contact, splashback, and the lack of appropriate base flashing. At the chimney, the biofilm marks sustained water entry at a junction that is a common source of leaks. Mortar loss and stone decay are most advanced in these same areas. In my experience, the cause is most often the manner of construction. A masonry wall always takes on some water. Without sufficient weather-resistive barriers, drainage cavities, flashing, or weep systems, water is held against the back of the stone and …

SXSW 2027 SXSW 2027 A brief overview of SXSW for the Austin Tourism Commission 1 Where the world convenes Where the world convenes Every March since 1987, SXSW turns Austin into the meeting place for the people shaping what's next. Four festivals — Music, Film & TV, Innovation, and Comedy — run at once across downtown, so a filmmaker, a founder, a marketer, and a musician all move through the same seven days. That convergence creates maximum impact for our attendees and our city. 2 SXSW INNOVATION CONFERENCE SXSW MUSIC FESTIVAL & CONFERENCE SXSW FILM & TV FESTIVAL & CONFERENCE SXSW COMEDY FESTIVAL The ideas, technology, and founders defining the next decade of business and culture. A must attend for brands, marketers, and creators. Seven nights of showcases and the discovery that breaks tomorrow's headliners. Not just a festival, it’s the industry event for the music business. Premieres, screenings, and the creators redefining how stories get made and seen. It’s up-and-coming talent crossing red carpet paths with Oscar-winners. The comics and shows setting the tone for what the culture laughs at next. Comedy is a sharp filter on what’s next in culture. 3 SXSW by the numbers SXSW by the numbers 200K+ 75+ 2,000+ $375M+ Creators, founders, and executives converge on Austin across the conference and festivals.

Draft Age Friendly Austin Action Plan: 2026-2030 Last Updated: July 9, 2026 August 24, 2026 Focus Area One: Social Engagement, Connection, & Inclusion Aligns with Domains: 4-Social Participation, 5-Respect & Social Inclusion, 7-Communication & Information Framework for the 2026-2030 Action Plan Understanding the Indicators The 2026-2030 Action Plan establishes measurable benchmarks for the first time by incorporating baseline scores. These indicators are derived directly from the Austin Older Adult Quality of Life Study conducted in 2025. By using community survey data to quantify how older adults currently rate their experiences, spanning from transportation satisfaction to health and food insecurity, these baselines provide a starting point. Establishing these scores allows the City of Austin and its partners to measure the effectiveness of their strategies and track year-over-year progress more accurately. Alignment with the Previous Plan's Domains When this plan notes that a section aligns with domains, it bridges our current goals to the AARP and World Health Organization’s Eight Domains of Livability. These eight domains served as the structural foundation for the city's previous age- friendly plans. To create a more targeted, efficient, and intersectional approach for 2026-2030, the City has consolidated those original eight domains into three comprehensive focus areas. Social Engagement, Connection, & Inclusion Aligns with Domains: Social Participation, Respect & Social Inclusion, Communication & Information This focus area addresses the critical need for older adults to feel valued, informed, and connected to their community. The consolidation of these domains was driven by recent quality of life findings revealing high risks of social isolation, particularly among LGBTQIA+ seniors, lower-income older adults, and individuals with disabilities. Furthermore, it targets communication hurdles, as recent data highlights that a lack of affordable internet and language barriers severely limit how homebound and multilingual seniors access essential city resources. By grouping these areas, the plan aims to build a more inclusive environment that proactively bridges the digital divide, tackles discrimination, and fosters meaningful community participation.

It consolidates housing and employment to tackle the intense financial pressures older adults face in a rapidly changing, increasingly expensive landscape. With nearly 30% of housed seniors worrying about losing their homes, and utility insecurity disproportionately affecting seniors with disabilities and communities of color, basic economic survival is a pressing challenge. By also addressing the 19% of older adults who desire to work but cannot find employment, this section comprehensively targets the financial and residential stability required for Austin's seniors to thrive. Goal 1: Increase housing security and access to home modification and repair programs to support seniors aging in place. Objective 1: Increase annual participation in city-funded home repair and modification programs for older adults. Strategy 1: Develop multi-lingual outreach campaigns to bridge the gap between service awareness and access.

This focus area responds to community data showing that adults ages 50 to 64 experience increased health insecurity, and that more than a quarter of participants have recently struggled to access necessary medical care. It also addresses significant concerns regarding pedestrian safety and the accessibility of recreational spaces for seniors with mobility challenges. Integrating these domains ensures a holistic approach to creating safe, accessible infrastructure that supports both the physical health and mobility of Austin's senior population.

Commission on Aging 2026-2030 Priority Framework The Commission on Aging adopts this Build and Bridge Framework to help refine and prioritize its work within its responsibilities under City Code. The Framework borrows the three focus areas of the Age-Friendly Austin Action Plan (AFAP) 2026–2030 as a useful way of organizing and narrowing that work. The Commission's responsibilities are established by City Code and include serving as an advisory body to the Austin City Council concerning the quality of life of older adults in the Austin area and helping ensure that older adults are productive, independent, and healthy. The AFAP does not alter or limit those responsibilities. The Commission's Age Friendly Advisory Committee provides oversight of the AFAP consistent with the responsibilities established for the Committee in the Commission's bylaws: monitoring progress, championing older adult involvement in plan development and implementation, reviewing and recommending revisions, and helping ensure community alignment through collaboration with City departments and the older adult community. City Council's adoption of Resolution No. 20250605-084 strengthened the City's commitment to older adults, including directing City departments to incorporate an age-friendly perspective and the AFAP into how they fulfill their missions. This creates additional opportunities for the Commission to engage City departments on issues within the Commission's responsibilities. Build and Bridge Using the three AFAP focus areas, the Commission will identify areas within its City Code responsibilities where focused attention can have a meaningful impact. For each selected area, the Commission may identify one or both of the following roles: Build – Develop or contribute to Commission activities addressing an identified area of focus. Bridge – Convene stakeholders, facilitate collaboration, share information, or strengthen connections addressing an identified area of focus. Build and Bridge describe ways the Commission may approach its work. They do not assign responsibility to the Commission for implementing the AFAP. The Commission's Build and Bridge selections are not intended to encompass every issue affecting older adults or the full scope of its responsibilities. They identify areas where the Commission believes sustained attention can have the greatest impact. Using the Build and Bridge Selections The Build and Bridge selections adopted within each of the three focus areas shall help prioritize and inform: Compiled by: Richard Bondi Page 1 of 2 09/08/2026 Commission on Aging 2026-2030 Priority Framework • Commission meeting agendas and work sessions; • Invited presentations and guest speakers; • Recommendations to the Austin City Council; …
