Budget Description | Budget $300,000 As per City of Austin Ordinance, 2% of capital project costs are set aside to commission public art through the AIPP Program. The total award for the artist contract is $300,000 ($150,000 per mural) and is paid over the course of the commission with milestones at community engagement, design, fabrication, installation, and closing. AIPP recommends that selected artist or artist-led teams budget 10% for contingency, and budget the remainder for all other project expenses including but not limited to: insurance, promotion, community engagement, design, all engineering, fabrication, materials, subcontractors, travel, transportation, shipping, permits and installation. Project Description AIPP in partnership with AFS, ARR, and AFMS seeks an artist or artist team to create two site-specific murals for the NESC campus. The selected artist will work with ARR, AFMS, other City Departments, project consultants, and community stakeholders to develop, design, fabricate and install artworks to enhance the NESC campus. The public art opportunity includes two site-specific artworks that will be applied to new corrugated metal water tanks (cisterns). The two cisterns are located at the north and south campus and can be seen from Johnny Morris Road. The two murals should stand alone and work together with a cohesive theme. The selected artist should take into consideration the users of the site, public who visit the site, as well as pedestrian and vehicular traffic from the street. Additionally, the selected artist will be asked to take into consideration themes of the campus mission and goals when developing an artwork theme. The campus completed design and began construction in 2025 with a tentative operation start date for August 2027. The selected artist is responsible for all …
To: Arts Commission From: Art in Public Places Panel Date: October 14, 2026 Re: Recommendation on Art in Public Places Ordinance Amendments The Art in Public Places (AIPP) Panel recommends that Council preserve its preferred allocation of 2% of total capital project cost, with no deductions, and adopt the administrative improvements proposed in the ordinance update. Recognizing the need to resolve the ongoing disagreement over the calculation method and establish a clear, consistent, auditable policy, the Panel is also presenting a compromise: an allocation of 1.75% of total capital project cost, with no deductions. This compromise accepts a reduction in the percentage in exchange for a transparent formula applied consistently across City capital projects. It does not represent the Panel's preferred outcome, nor does it diminish the need to reconcile historical discrepancies in AIPP allocations. The Panel has unanimously voted on three occasions not to accept the proposed ordinance amendments. Our disagreement has been narrow and specific: the proposed changes to the allocation calculation and the addition of eligible cost deductions, in the context of unresolved discrepancies and incomplete historical accounting. The information provided by City staff indicates a meaningful gap between the intent of the current ordinance and the allocations recorded in practice. Without a complete reconciliation, the Panel cannot confidently determine the full extent of that gap or establish that the proposed calculation will correct it. The Panel is concerned that the proposed amendments could formalize a calculation that further reduces the effective investment in public art without first resolving these discrepancies. The Panel recommends one clear formula: calculate the AIPP allocation as a fixed percentage of the total capital project cost, without deducting categories of expense before applying that percentage. This approach provides a consistent, auditable standard for every department and every eligible capital project. The Panel's compromise of 1.75% is not offered lightly. It represents a meaningful concession intended to resolve the disagreement over the calculation base while preserving a substantial and predictable investment in public art. We ask Council to consider this compromise rather than adopt a construction- cost calculation that risks further reducing the program's allocation. The City's own benchmarking supports a simplified calculation. According to the City's survey of peer cities, more than 70% calculate their public art allocation on total project cost without first carving out categories of expense. A consistent, no-deduction formula would align Austin with this prevailing approach while making …

The OSGSH system will use electrolysis to convert sodium chloride (salt) and water into 0.8% sodium hypochlorite. The LAS system will store and feed ammonia in a liquid, non-hazardous form. This project will eliminate the need for the use of gaseous chlorine and anhydrous ammonia for disinfection, representing a major safety improvement for the City and the surrounding community. A critical component of this project is the need to maintain operation of the plant, including disinfection processes, throughout these improvements. A temporary sodium hypochlorite storage and feed system will be utilized while the gaseous chlorine system is demolished and replaced with the OSGSH system. …

HLC Review Addendum 07 Oct 2026 4309 Avenue D Item HR-2026-104982 1.2 The concrete pad as front porch is structurally unsound and must be replaced. The steps outside the primary entry door is not allowed by today’s building code. Required Egress Doors: Must have a flat landing on each side that is at least as wide as the door and extends a minimum of 36 inches in the direction of travel. The floor or landing cannot be more than 1.5 inches lower than the top of the threshold for primary egress doors The elevated porch fits the neighborhood and satisfies IRC Bldg Code 2024 1.2 The second front door is not original to the 1912 home and was added around the time of the Great Depression in 1929. While it is old, it is not original. It enters directly into bedroom and is not in character with the 1912 house Queen Anne-esque house. Our rehabilitation of this home ( back to single family) includes restoring the original transom in the entry foyer over the original front door. See picture…. The secondary door is a five panel interior non-weather rated door taken from another bedroom. Probably done when Clara Stubbs divided the house for daughter Clara to live there ? There was never a transom over the secondary narrower door. 1.2 The current “temporary” front porch posts are not original. Evidence in the slab indicate there may have originally been paired posts – possibly lathe turned like other homes of the 1910’s ?? The columns shown in the proposed front elevation are HBG fiberglass structural columns without direct historical reference to any period. These round columns invoke the past but are also very common in new homes today. 3.1 Restoring windows as possible instead of replacement sounds great and will be our course of action if feasible. Front windows ( as seen from street ) seem easily restorable. However, the north side ( unseen from street ) seems harder…… An updated window schedule indicating restored and new windows is attached.
