The required testing methods rely on specialized laboratory capabilities not available within Austin Water. These services are necessary to detect potential impacts from industrial users, identify sources of biological inhibitors, and mitigate treatment process disruptions.

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 The columns shown in the proposed front elevation are HBG fiberglass structural columns without direct historical reference to any period.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.

Comment submitted by Laura Olson at Go Austin Vamos Austin (GAVA) to the Early Childhood Council in August 2026 1 Regarding Item 5 on the August 8 Early Childhood (EC) Council agenda, in consideration of ideas for making meetings more accessible and welcoming for community members, first we thank you for bringing this forward. We are in support of Item 5 and would like to offer a couple of ideas to the EC Council as they review this item: 1. Language Access: Not only offering interpretation support for public comment in meetings, but also interpretation during the meeting as well as translated agendas in at least, Spanish, but potentially in Arabic, Vietnamese, and Burmese as well. This can greatly support an environment of inclusion and participation. 2. Create quarterly brief graphics/brief communications to be shared out via City of Austin as well as SX6 and other community-based partners in inclusive language/vocabulary that describes the purpose of EC Council, how it looks to participate as a community member, and when upcoming meetings will be. 3. Consider shifting to an evening meeting cadence or rotation of morning/evening since daytime meetings more often exclude EC providers and families. 4. Consider instructional communication materials that outline how to sign up to listen in and/or to provide public comment at EC Council. A short instructional video shared out quarterly might work well for this. APH has done this in the past with some covid education and this may be a good model for how to do this in multiple languages. Each council member could be asked to push these out as well. 5. Regular posts and communications that share what is coming up on the EC Council agenda that highlights opportunities to give input and advise the EC Council or to be present to hear important updates from city partners. Each council member could be asked to push these out as well. 6. Consider who is serving on the EC Council and what it could look like when openings come up to nominate an EC provider or parent to represent on the EC Council for increased diversity and equity on the council. 2 7. Review agendas with a lens of inclusivity and accessibility to reduce jargon and provide a glossary of terms to create shared language and understanding. 8. Review of the City of Austin Equity Assessment tool by all EC Council members and reflect …

Commission on Aging 2026-2030 Priority Framework The Commission on Aging adopts this Build, Bridge and Champion 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, Bridge and Champion 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 all 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. Champion – Submit recommendations to Austin City Council that support and advance the Age Friendly Action Plan 2026-2030. This includes individual commissioners reaching out to their supporting council member or mayor. Build, Bridge and Champion describe ways the Commission may approach its work. They do not assign responsibility to the Commission for implementing the AFAP. The Commission's Build, Bridge and Champion 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. Compiled by: Richard Bondi Page 1 of 2 10/05/2026 Commission on Aging 2026-2030 Priority Framework Using the Build, Bridge and Champion Selections The Build, …
