Public Safety Commission - Questions & Answers January 8, 2024 - Regular Meeting Item 4. 88th Legislative Session & Special Sessions Update – Intergovernmental Relations Office See Exhibit A below Item 3. Public Safety Quarterly Report - Austin Fire Department February 5, 2024 - Regular Meeting 1) Is there a typo on Slide 19, regarding the number of Hispanic or Latino Applicants in the Hiring Process Demographics chart? Yes. We apologize for the error on this slide. The corrected percentages should be: American Indian/Alaskan Native: 3% Asian: 3% Black or African American: 5% Hispanic or Latino: 28% ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ White: 47% ◦ ◦ Two or more races: 11% Choose Not to Disclose: 3% 2) Is there an update on Wildfire outreach to different language groups and homeowners without HOAs, particularly in the east side? Have there been any changes or process on approaching these homeowners or renters who may not have the ability to make those changes? One noteworthy development is the assignment of a Wildfire Mitigation Specialist to Outreach and Education, with a particular emphasis on assisting underserved communities and populations at risk from wildfires. This dedicated role underscores our commitment to inclusivity and ensuring that vulnerable groups receive the support and resources they need. As part of our ongoing efforts, we are actively engaged in updating our Community Wildfire Protection Plan. This update will prominently feature a robust component focused on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, providing a clear roadmap for engaging and protecting vulnerable populations. Additionally, we are collaborating with UT graduate students on research initiatives aimed at evaluating the equitability of our wildfire programs. In a bid to maximize our outreach, we have established partnerships with community groups to distribute Wildfire Preparedness literature specifically tailored to vulnerable populations. This collaborative approach strengthens our connection with the communities we serve, ensuring that vital information reaches those who need it the most. Where communities do not have an organizing structure like an HOA we are limited to working with individual community members Public Safety Commission - Questions & Answers I am also pleased to share that our wildfire vulnerability mapping approach, pioneered in Austin, has been successfully integrated into the national model. https://headwaterseconomics.org/wildfire/homes-risk/austin-wildfire-population-risk/ PENDING QUESTIONS: February 5, 2024 Item 4.

The South Austin Regional WWTP is one of Austin Water’s two major wastewater treatment plants. The plant has the permitted capacity to treat an annual average of 75 million gallons of wastewater per day. In SP-2020-0265C, Austin Water submitted a site plan that would allow the expansion of the SAR WWTP and that the life of the site plan would be extended for a 25-year period after approval for future phases.

This site plan revision of SP-2020-0265C will allow the current construction of the expansion to continue and for the consideration of the request for the extended construction period. No other modifications are proposed in the site plan revision. Phase 1 includes improvements to the primary & secondary clarifiers, aeration basins, equipment in the preliminary & secondary treatment buildings, and addition of electrical enclosures. Phase 2 includes, but not limited to, improvements to the solids handling facilities, plumbing, and wet wells.
