PROPOSED RESOLUTION ON AUSTIN ENERGY PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL ELECTRIC RATE INCREASE Whereas, Austin has been a leader in energy efficiency since the 1970s; and Whereas, Austin Energy has the lowest average Residential electricity consumption of any large utility in ERCOT, which also allows it to have one of the lowest average Residential bills of any utility in ERCOT; and Whereas, proposed changes to Austin Energy’s Residential electric rate structure threaten further progress in energy efficiency by dramatically removing price signals to conserve; and Whereas, since low-income utility customers generally use less energy than average customers, changing Austin’s progressive electric Residential rate structure that discourages consumption will make bills more burdensome to the lower and moderate income residents; and Whereas, Austin Energy has made a proposal in its current rate case to completely replace the current progressive rate structure with one that rewards more consumption; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Resource Management Commission of the City of Austin advise City Council to retain Austin Energy’s current progressive rate structure; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that if any rate increases are enacted, they be levied as a proportional increase to the utility’s current monthly base cost and tiers in its current rate structure.
PROPOSED RESOLUTION ON AUSTIN ENERGY PROPOSED REDUCTION IN ENERGY EFFICIENCY SERVICE FEES Whereas, the City of Austin has operated energy-efficiency programs since 1982, and these programs have served all rate classes and building types; and Whereas, exemptions from the Energy Efficiency Services fee will render Austin Energy's energy-efficiency and solar programs less effective; and Whereas, Austin Energy proposes to create a new commercial rate class (PRI-2 HLF), and exempt this new rate class' customers from the Energy Efficiency Service fee; and Whereas, customers in this new rate class will benefit from Austin Energy's energy-efficiency and solar programs because of reduction in new capacity, power purchases, regulatory costs, and transmission costs; and Whereas, customers in this rate class will also benefit from reduced environmental effects caused by conventional power plants; and Whereas, some of the customers have participated in rebates in the past, or could participate in the future; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Resource Management Commission of the City of Austin advise City Council that if this new rate class is created, customers in this new rate class should be charged the Energy Efficiency Service fee.

From: Hartnett, Lauren To: Banker, Courtney Subject: URB update on 11th & 12th NCCD Date: Monday, September 19, 2022 2:47:59 PM Attachments: image001.png On Sept. 15, Council approved 3rd reading of the 12th street NCCD and the Urban Renewal Plan. CM Harper-Madison’s motion was to pass the Urban Renewal Board’s recommendation with changes requested by OCEAN (reinstate all existing uses currently permitted by the NCCD), and conditional use for cocktail lounge limited to 3500 sf. The inclusion of conditional use for cocktail lounge was in response to community feedback the District 1 office received from residents and stakeholders involved with the African American Cultural Heritage District. For a conditional use permit, a property owner must first submit a site plan to staff detailing what they propose to do – and then they have to take that site plan to the planning commission where the community can weigh in. The commission can then add any number of conditions – or can even outright reject it. In the event the neighborhood doesn’t agree with Planning Commission’s decision, they have the opportunity to appeal to council. It is a full public process, with multiple checkpoints – and CM Harper-Madison felt this approach struck the right balance between protecting our neighborhoods from potential nuisances while also allowing the flexibility to support the AACHD’s goals and create walkable neighborhoods with amenities for all residents. Council received testimony from residents both in support and against permitting conditional use for cocktail lounge within the NCCD. In order to further strike a balance with the broad range of opinions expressed at Council, CM Harper-Madison worked with staff to introduce an amendment that further limited conditional use for cocktail lounge to only one permit every 200’. This limited the possibility of the number of potential permits to about 10. However, given the churches on the street, there is only one potential site that could receive a CUP for Cocktail Lounge without Council also granting a waive, so while CM Harper-Madison kept the door open for the possibility to open an establishment that would require a cocktail lounge use permit, it would still be a challenging, multi-step process for a new bar or indoor live music venue to open on 12th Street. The majority of the individuals who testified in opposition to CUP for Cocktail Lounge raised concerns regarding enforcement issues with existing establishments. In response, the District 1 office …
