Joint Sustainability Committee RECOMMENDATION 20230927-010 Date: September 27, 2023 Subject: Priorities for accelerating implementation of the Austin Climate Equity Plan Motioned By: Rodrigo Leal Seconded By: Christopher Campbell Recommendation The Joint Sustainability Committee recommends that additional emphasis be placed on implementing the goals and strategies in the Austin Climate Equity Pan (ACEP), to give our community a chance to meet the goals of the plan. The committee recommends that the City Council, city management, and appropriate city departments start work immediately to implement the following list of strategies identified as priorities. Tracking and Reporting Recommendation: 1. The Office of Sustainability should publish a schedule of official updates to the Climate Equity Plan implementation dashboard, including metrics on the specific sub-strategies within the plan and more formalized equity accounting, to enable the public to see progress toward Austin’s climate equity goals. Recommend biannual or quarterly updates. All city departments should be instructed to provide timely updates with sufficient detail to enable these updates. [ACEP] Sustainable Buildings Recommendations: 2. City Council should (after appropriate stakeholder engagement by Austin Energy and Development Services) adopt the 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), with a local amendment to require space for a heat pump hot water heater, as quickly as possible. [Sustainable Buildings Goal 1, Strategies 1 and 3] 3. City Council should update the Energy Conservation Audit and Disclosure Ordinance (ECAD) to require energy efficiency upgrades to multifamily and commercial buildings that perform poorly on energy audits. [Sustainable Buildings Goal 1, Strategies 1 and 3] 4. City Council should consider incorporating the use of the Passive House standard and/or Living Building Challenge standard into a density bonus program when the existing density bonus programs are consolidated. [Sustainable Buildings Goal 1, Strategies 1 and 3] 5. City Council should establish a policy to explicitly promote or incentivize the Passive House and/or Living Building Challenge standards throughout the City of Austin RFP and building funding scoring metrics (stating preference for and/or adding points to scoring for meeting these standards). [Sustainable Buildings Goal 1, Strategies 1 and 3] 6. Austin Energy should create a pilot program, possibly utilizing funds from Austin Energy’s Energy Efficiency Services fee or grants, to demonstrate the efficacy of certified Passive House and/or Living Building Challenge multifamily projects. Recommend funding $3,000 per unit for first 1000 Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) units to certify and create a report detailing construction cost increases …

Joint Sustainability Committee RECOMMENDATION 20230726-XXX Date: September 26, 2023September 25, 2023September 6, 2023 Subject: Priorities for implementation of the Austin Climate Equity Plan Motioned By: Seconded By: Description of Recommendations to Council Transportation Electrification Recommendations: 1. The Joint Sustainability Commission recommends that Austin Energy, in collaboration with CapMetro and City of Austin Department of Transportation and Public Works, define and then conduct an Electric Vehicles (EV) Community Needs Assessment with a focus on the Eastern Crescent, Rundberg (North Austin, North Lamar, Georgian Acres), and Dove Springs. Assessment should build on community engagement and feedback (such as leveraging an Ambassadors program and partnering with entities such as TxETRA) to address mobility challenges in these regions and consider other electric mobility options such as buses, shuttles, and carsharing. 2. The Joint Sustainability Commission recommends that Austin Energy will provide develop city-wide incentives for buying and leasing new and used EVs targeted only to those who qualify for the Austin Energy Customer Assistance Program (CAP). 3. The Joint Sustainability Commission recommends that Austin Energy will facilitate the createion of a coalition of organizations and a paid ambassadors program (e.g., Climate Ambassadors), to provide stipends to individuals and organizations that already have trust in the community to provide EV education. Education shouldwill encompass: clarifying the EV charging process, raising awareness about available incentives, and increasing community involvement by connecting systematically excluded groups with job and training/education opportunities in the EV field. 2 Transportation Electrification Rationales: 1. Austin Energy identified this as a high equity impact strategy. The Austin Climate Equity Plan notes that conducting a community EV Community Needs Assessment will assist in identifying the intersections of mobility challenges, transportation electrification, and racial and economic justice. The assessment will inform an EV adoption growth plan that will be supported by enhanced communications efforts and incentives. [Transportation Electrification Goal 1, Strategy 1] 2. Even though there are federal and state-wide incentives that have made EVs more affordable and comparable to internal combustion engine vehicles, current incentives are not targeted to low-income communities. Also, EV adopters tend to belong to higher income population groups. Therefore, a city-wide incentive toward low-income communities can level the playing field, promote a just and equitable transition to EVs and accelerate EV adoption city-wide. This would be considered a high equity and high emission reduction impact recommendation. [Transportation Electrification Goal 1, Strategy 2] 3. A lack of education around available tax …
Joint Sustainability Committee RECOMMENDATION 20230726-XXX Date: September 27, 2023 Subject: Priorities for implementation of the Austin Climate Equity Plan Motioned By: Seconded By: Recommendation Description of Recommendation to Council Natural Systems and Food & Product Consumption Recommendations: 1. The Office of Sustainability should publish a schedule of official updates to the Climate Equity Plan implementation dashboard, including metrics on the specific sub-strategies within the plan and more formalized equity accounting, to enable the public to see progress toward Austin’s climate equity goals. Recommend biannual or quarterly updates. All city departments should be instructed to provide timely updates with sufficient detail to enable these updates. 2. The disposal rate goal in the Austin Resource Recovery Zero Waste Plan should decline over time, rather than remain steady as indicated in the draft plan. 3. The near-term goals of The Austin Resource Recovery Zero Waste Plan should be redefined as a timeframe of 0-2 years to better align with the goals of the ACEP, instead of near-term being defined as 0-5 years as indicated in the draft plan. 4. Office of Sustainability should work with relevant City departments, potentially including Austin Public Health, to begin a stakeholder process to develop educational campaigns and incentives to promote healthy, low-carbon, protein-rich food choices within the retail space and non-retail programs (Mobile Markets, Healthy Food Pantries and pop-ups, etc.). This may include a local program similar to Double Up Food Bucks for protein-rich plant foods (such as beans, lentils and soy). Direct incentives to grocery stores and affordable restaurants (which could be in the form of coupons available to customers) should also be considered. The Office of Sustainability should pursue any available options for outside funding, including an EPA Climate Pollution Reduction Grant, in addition to city funding. Rationale: Natural Systems and Food & Product Consumption Recommendations 1. More data and information and more frequent updates to the dashboard is needed to better gauge Austin’s stated progress on climate goals. Data gaps, in particular on the Climate Equity Plan implementation dashboard, exist. Status of progress is only shown down to the “strategy” level, but each “strategy” in the plan actually includes multiple strategies. Reporting on the status of each sub-strategy is needed. Status of the actual implementation is sometimes out of date, and often doesn’t include any information about who is leading an initiative or who to contact to get more information or get involved. Additionally, …

§ § § § § § § CITY OF AUSTIN ETHICS REVIEW COMMISSION Complaint No. 20230627 Scott Cobb Complainant v. Nina Rinaldi Respondent ORDER ON PRELIMINARY HEARING I. PROCEDURAL HISTORY On June 27, 2023, Scott Cobb (“Complainant”) submitted to the Austin City Clerk (“City Clerk”) a Sworn Complaint (“the Complaint”) against Nina Rinaldi (“Respondent”). The Complaint alleged that Respondent violated City Code Section 2-1 (City Boards), Subsection 2-1- 24 (Conflict of Interest & Recusal). On September 27, 2023, the Commission conducted a Preliminary Hearing. The agenda for the September 27, 2023 meeting was timely posted on September 22, 2023. II. FINDINGS OF FACT Complainant and Respondent appeared at the hearing and made statements under oath. During the hearing, Complainant reiterated the statements made in the complaint. During the hearing, Respondent referred to the written response provided for purposes of the hearing by Respondent. III. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW 1. Under City Code Section 2-7-26, the Commission’s jurisdiction includes alleged violations of City Code 2-1-24 (Conflict of Interest & Recusal). 2. Subsection (D) of Section 2-7-44 of the City Code states, “if the commission does not determine that there are reasonable grounds to believe that a violation has occurred, the complaint is dismissed.” City of Austin Ethics Review Commission ORDER ON PRELIMINARY HEARING – PAGE 1 1. 2. 3. IV. DETERMINATION OF THE ETHICS REVIEW COMMISSION A quorum of the Commission was present to consider the matter. At the conclusion of the preliminary hearing, a motion was made to dismiss the complaint. The motion resulted in a vote of 5-4 (five in favor, four against) with one commissioner absent and one vacancy.

The motion failed on a vote of 5-4 (four in favor, five against) with one commissioner absent and one vacancy. The Commission, therefore, orders that the complaint be dismissed under City Code 2-7- 44(D).
