. RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL Joint Inclusion Committee (JIC) Recommendation Number: [20260527-XXX]: Inclusion of Infrastructure Equity and Medical Resilience in the Pilot Knob Library & Resilience Hub Project WHEREAS, the Pilot Knob area is experiencing a rapid influx of high-density data centers equipped with advanced power hardening, while surrounding legacy residential neighborhoods remain on an aging grid; and WHEREAS, data center industrialization creates voltage fluctuations that pose a high risk of motor failure for standard residential HVAC systems and life-saving medical equipment, such as oxygen concentrators, ventilators, and power chairs; and WHEREAS, the medically vulnerable and disabled community in surrounding Austin neighborhoods, particularly those located within historically underserved District 2, face disproportionate life-safety risks during localized outages, making standard "cooling centers" insufficient for their needs; and WHEREAS, the City must ensure that infrastructure improvements made for industrial growth are extended to residential circuits to prevent vulnerable residents from being left on a "second-class" grid. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Joint Inclusion Committee (JIC) encourage the Austin City Council to formally include specific language and funding in the November 2026 Bond to ensure the Pilot Knob Library and Resilience Hub serves as a high-capacity "Medical Triage Anchor". This includes scaling the facility for specialized medical plug-in capacity, coordinating with Austin Energy for residential grid hardening, and equipping the hub with industrial-grade redundant power systems to support medical devices.

EDUCATIONAL IMPACT STATEMENT Prepared for the City of Austin Austin Independent School District Project Name: Former AISD Brooke ES Redevelopment Address/Location: 3100 E 4th St, Austin, texas Case #:C14-2025-0125 NEW SINGLE FAMILY DEMOLITION OF MULTIFAMILY NEW MULTIFAMILY TAX CREDIT # SF UNITS: STUDENTS PER UNIT ASSUMPTION Elementary School: Middle School: High School: # MF UNITS: 425 STUDENTS PER UNIT ASSUMPTION Elementary School: 0.028 Middle School: 0.013 High School: 0.014 # AFFORDABLE STUDENTS PER UNIT ASSUMPTION Elementary School: Middle School: High School: IMPACT ON SCHOOLS In January 2026, an Educational Impact Statement was submitted for a proposed multifamily residential development located at the site of the formerly closed Brooke Elementary School. The project proposes the construction of 425 new dwelling units. While the project involves the demolition of the closed school facility, there are no currently enrolled students; therefore, no current students will be displaced. Austin ISD Student Yield Factors (SYF) were used to estimate the potential student population for this development. An overall SYF of 0.055 across all grade levels was used to determine the projected number of students. Based on these factors, the project is expected to add about 24 students total. Of these students, approximately 12 students would attend Govalle ES, 6 students would attend Kealing MS, and 6 students would attend Eastside ECHS. Because the number of bedrooms per unit has not yet been specified, the actual number of students may be higher or lower than these estimates. With the addition of the proposed development, all three schools are projected to remain below the district’s recommended utilization range of 80%–95%. Specifically, Govalle ES is expected to reach 84%, Kealing MS (74%), and Eastside ECHS (73%) capacity.

Item 2 Water & Wastewater Commission: May 20, 2026 Council: May 21, 2026 Posting Language ..Title Recommend approval to authorize change order five to the construction contract for the Hyde Park Water and Wastewater Pipeline Renewal Project for Austin Water with Santa Clara Construction Ltd., in the amount of $831,153, for a total contract amount not to exceed $9,392,249. Funding: $831,153 is available in the Capital Budget of Austin Water. ..Body Lead Department Austin Financial Services. Managing Department Austin Capital Delivery Services. Fiscal Note Funding is available in the Capital Budget of Austin Water. Procurement Language: Change Order. MBE / WBE: This contract was awarded in compliance with the City Code 2-9A (Minority-Owned and Women-Owned Business Enterprise Procurement Program). Current participation to date is 62.20% MBE and 0.95% WBE. Prior Council Action: December 9, 2021 – Council approved a contract with Santa Clara Construction Ltd. for the Hyde Park Water and Wastewater Pipeline Renewal Project. Council Committee, Boards and Commission Action: May 20, 2026 - To be reviewed by Water and Wastewater Commission. Additional Backup Information: The Hyde Park Water and Wastewater Pipeline Renewal project is part of the Renewing Austin Program. The Renewing Austin Program is an ongoing effort to replace, and upgrade deteriorated and aging water mains with a documented history of multiple breaks, that are in poor condition, and that impact service delivery. In addition, the program coordinates and includes wastewater lines and other needed improvements by other departments within the project area. During construction, Austin Water requested additional water utility infrastructure to be added to the project. Located along W. 46th St., between Avenue G and Avenue F, the added construction included a total of approximately 340 linear feet of eight-inch polyvinyl chloride waterline, two 8-inch gate valves, and two service lines for individual properties. Additionally, because of the age of the infrastructure accurate records were not available during design and due to the unforeseen conditions, the contract’s allowance for private service relocations was overrun as the number of service relocations was substantially greater than what was anticipated. Lastly, due to unforeseen conditions, to maintain water service during construction, the proposed temporary water service line had to be extended, adding approximately 800 linear feet of 6-inch pipe, 640 linear feet of 2-inch service pipe, and equipment. Item 2 Water & Wastewater Commission: May 20, 2026 Council: May 21, 2026 This request is for additional contingency funding …
