BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION Community Technology & Telecommunications Commission Recommendation Number: (YYYYMMDD-XXX) (XXX is the agenda item number): WHEREAS, the City Council Message Board is running on software whose last major update was in 2007, the time before smartphones. The software is named “phpBB”, where “BB” stands for “bulletin board”, a technology from the era of dial-up modems. WHEREAS, Austin is known as a technology city. We are home to chip manufacturers like IBM, NXP, AMD, and Samsung. WHEREAS, Austin has a significant presence of technology companies such as Apple, Google, Dell, and Meta and Indeed. WHEREAS, Austin is home to the University of Texas at Austin, one of the top technology universities in the world. WHEREAS, Technology is part of Austin’s brand and our city’s government should be using the most modern applications available. WHEREAS, the city council message boards of Port Aransas and Amarillo are using WordPress, a newer software than Austin’s. WHEREAS, there is a new generation of collaboration software based on instant messaging and designed with smartphones in mind. This includes such proprietary apps such as Slack and Discord, as well as open-source alternatives like Zulip and Matrix. This innovative technology is being used by the boards of for-profit and nonprofit organizations to communicate and collaborate. WHEREAS, our Mayor, Kirk Watson, when in the Texas Senate, authored and championed changes to the Texas Open Meetings Act . The addition of Section 551.006 to the Texas Government Code permits government bodies to use online real-time communication that is visible to the public. Thus enabling the Austin City Council Message Board which now has thousands of posts and millions of views. WHEREAS, the City of Austin’s Boards and Commissions play an important role in city government. They are vital in adjudication, monitoring rights, monitoring the environment, and oversight of critical industries. They improve Austin by cherishing amenities, fostering the arts, and providing expert advice to City Council and serve as the inclusive interface for communities that are often overlooked by the government. WHEREAS, the City of Austin’s Boards and Commissions do not have message boards and, therefore, still suffer under the restrictive provisions of the Texas Open Meetings Act prior to the addition of Section 551.006 by then Senator Kirk Watson.

Historic Architecture & Conservation Conserving the Past and Designing for the Future April 24, 2019 – Revision 1 Mr. Greg Smith, Coordinator, Federal Programs Texas Historical Commission P.O. Box 12276 Austin, Texas 78711-2276 Re: Dear Mr. Smith, Circa 1854 Zimmermann House Located at 9019 Parkfield Drive, Austin I am writing to request that you consider the circa 1854 Zimmermann House, located at 9019 Parkfield Drive in Austin, for the National Register of Historic Places. As you are aware, this house is the oldest of only two remaining structures associated with the historic Fiskville community that was settled in 1846 by Josiah Fisk. Following the typical Germanic settlement pattern of the era, immigrant Edward Zimmermann purchased the land in 1854 and moved his family to the property. He built this fachwerk house and his family lived in it as as their first home while he built their larger stone house, estimated completion date of 1867, nearby on what is now known as Payton Gin Road where it remains today. Zimmermann’s two houses and the nearby historic cemetery are the last remaining vestiges of the original Fiskville community, that subsequently disappeared once annexed by the City of Austin in the mid-1960s. This house also retains a high degree of historic architectural integrity with regards to its original construction and subsequent building campaigns. The original half-timber framing structure is approximately 80% intact, including its original ceiling joists and roof trusses. Although the door and windows have been replaced there are two original windows extant on the structure. Interior finishes also appear to be intact beneath the circa 1970’s wood paneling installed over them. As for the circa 1855 addition, also built by Zimmermann to expand his outpost, that is an early wood frame construction that also retain original interior finishes. As requested, the following material has been attached to aid your consideration of this property: • Current photographs with a plan showing photo locations; • An overview of the Property’s history and Physical Evidence extant today; • Timeline of Events and Activities; • Biographies of /Early Property Owners; • Historic maps and aerial photos • Scaled floor plan showing changes I appreciate your time considering this request. We are excited to be the new stewards of this uniquely special historic property, and we look forward to its restoration. Please let us know if you need additional information or have any questions. Yours sincerely, …

We have become aware of your deceptive trade practices and blatant misconduct in relation to the renovations (“Renovation”) of Ms. Agrawal’s property located at [*] (the “Property”). Ms. Agrawal hired you to complete the Renovation on the false promise that you would (i) supervise the project and your workers, (ii) communicate effectively and respond promptly, (iii) complete all of the items listed on Exhibit A in the Renovation, which still remain incomplete, and (iv) use the Two Hundred Thirty-Nine Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($239,500), advanced by Ms. Agrawal in good faith (“Funds”), to purchase materials and supplies for the Renovation. Instead, you disappeared for months and evaded Ms. Agrawal, allowed unsupervised workers to facilitate and lead the Renovation, and misappropriated the Funds to commence a larger construction project, while failing to purchase the materials and supplies as promised to Ms. Agrawal. ACCORDINGLY, WE HEREBY DEMAND YOU IMMEDIATELY CEASE AND DESIST FROM COMPLETING ANY FURTHER WORK TOWARD THE RENOVATION AND REFUND THE FUNDS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN UTILIZED AS PART OF THE RENOVATION. Further, Texas’ Deceptive Trade Practices Act (“DTPA”) outlines several elements that are necessary to prove when asserting a DTPA claim. The elements of a DTPA claim are (1) the plaintiff was a consumer1; (2) the defendant either engaged in false, misleading, or deceptive acts (i.e., violated a specific laundry-list provision of the DTPA) or engaged in an unconscionable action or course of action; and (3) the DTPA laundry-list violation or unconscionable action was a producing cause of the plaintiff's injury.
