PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD RECOMMENDATION 20221128-5 November 28, 2022 Seconded By: Lisa Hugman Funding for Park Land and Maintenance at South Central Waterfront Date: Subject: Motioned By: Laura Cottam Sajbel Recommendation The Parks and Recreation Board recommends that Council refrain from putting a cap on the money Endeavor (the 305 S. Congress PUD applicant) would owe for Parkland Dedication Fees and recommends against leaving park maintenance in the hands of the developer. Description of Recommendation to Council In light of negotiations for the funding of the park land and maintenance, the Parks and Recreation Board recommends that Council refrain from putting a cap on the money Endeavor (the 305 S. Congress PUD applicant) would owe for Parkland Dedication Fees. In the motion offered by CM Pool that generated brief discussion, an amount of $9M for parkland was discussed. We assume this came from an estimated calculation of parkland fees utilizing predicted FY2023 PLD fees. However, the timing of the construction, potential height increases, and subsequent increase in the number of units may impact the amount of parkland dedication fee called for under the city’s regulations. The fee may be significantly higher, alongside the stipulation that each unit would pay $100 above the parkland dedication fee. We urge the Council to use the parkland dedication formula, already in place—and not to add a ceiling to this amount—as the land continues to grow in value, and the mechanism is already in place to assess the appropriate fee. In light of the plans for maintenance of the park, as suggested, the Downtown Austin Alliance, The Trail Conservancy, and the Parks Department met to discuss possibilities. The DAA discussed and tentatively agreed to allow the funds paid into the PID by the developer be paid to The Trail Conservancy for ongoing park maintenance. Assuming this tentative agreement could be finalized, this would be the preferred arrangement, in the eyes of the Parks Board. We strongly urge against leaving park maintenance in the hands of the developer, as ownership changes or other factors would negatively impact the level of maintenance at this signature public park. Vote The motion to recommend that Council refrain from putting a cap on the money that Endevor (the 305 S. Congress PUD applicant) would owe for the Parkland Dedication Fees and recommend against leaving park maintenance in the hands of the developer was approved on Chair Cottam Sajbel’s Motion, Board …
PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD November 28, 2022 – 6:00 PM City Hall Chambers, Room 1001 301 W. Second Street, Austin, Texas 78701 Questions and Answers Report PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD MEMBERS: Laura Cottam Sajbel (D-9), Chair Sarah Faust (D-5), Vice-Chair Nina Rinaldi (D-1) Anna Di Carlo (D-2) Patrick Moore (D-3) Kathryn Flowers (D-4) Lisa Hugman (D-6) Nancy Barnard (D-7) Kim Taylor (D-8) Dawn Lewis (D-10) Richard DePalma (Mayor) Page 1 of 3 Item 4: Presentation, discussion and possible action regarding a recommendation to Austin City Council to approve The Trail Conservancy’s Annual Programming Plan for the Ann and Roy Butler Hike and Bike Trail at Townlake Metropolitan Park. Vice Chair Faust 1) In regard to the TTC programming plan, is there a summary of anything that is different than last year? This is the first full year programming plan for The Trail Conservancy. The Trail Conservancy (TTC) and the City of Austin executed the Park Operations and Maintenance Agreement on June 10, 2022. The previously reviewed and approved interim TTC Programming Plan for June 10 – December 31, 2022, can be found here: https://services.austintexas.gov/edims/document.cfm?id=383545 . New in 2023, TTC will launch their inaugural Earth Day Jubilee celebration on 4/22/23 at International Shores Lawn. The event will be free and open to the public with a small, reserved section for ticketed attendees that will include food and beverage. 2) I am seeking clarification on how to understand the chart on Page 7 of the programming plan. The chart appears to provide the minimum number of activations per space. For example, Holly Shores says 8+ activations. I am assuming 8+ means 8 or more. Is this correct? Open and Partially Open <2. Does this mean it will have 6+ open activations and less than 2 partially open activations? Please clarify. The main purpose of review of the programming plan by Parks Board, as I see it, is so that the Parks Board can ensure there is a balance of programming and also that the trail is not over-programmed, i.e. the trail is available for just walking and jogging without special events every time park users go to the trail. It is difficult to discern this balance if a minimum number of activations is provided, not a maximum. Just to note, the Pease Park Conservancy programming plan was also framed this way and I had the same issue with it, as was the …

D OW N TOW N AU S T I N C O M M U N I T Y C O U R T GEOGRAPHIC SERVICE AREA AND ADJUDICATED CASES ANALYSIS November 18, 2022 PROJECT SUMMARY DACC is conducting an analysis of its current and potential geographic service area (GSA) and adjudicated citations. Geographic service area: The neighborhoods for which DACC adjudicates citations. Currently: downtown, UT’s west campus, and east Austin Adjudicated cases: The charge codes, or offenses, that are heard at DACC. Currently Class C misdemeanors (includes Prop B and state camping ban violations) The purpose of this analysis is to understand the efficacy of DACC’s current GSA and adjudicated citations, and to determine whether expansion or alterations might better serve the community and DACC stakeholders. RESEARCH QUESTIONS How effective is DACC’s current set-up of geographic service area and adjudicated cases? Are there changes that should be considered, or potential reimagined operations structures that DACC management should explore? STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT PROCESS OPTION SET Option #1: DACC to Maintain Adjudication of Prop B/Statewide Camping Ban Violations Citywide; Expand Adjudication of Current Charge Codes (all other Class C misdemeanors) Citywide Option #1.5: DACC to Maintain Adjudication of Prop B/Statewide Camping Ban Violations Citywide; Expand Adjudication of Current Charge Codes (other Class C misdemeanors) to Other Parts of Austin on a Needs-Based Timeline Option #2: DACC to Maintain Current Charge Codes in Existing Geographic Service Area and Citywide Prop B/State Camping Ban Violations, Expand to Include Any Charge Codes for Individuals Experiencing Homelessness Citywide Option #3: DACC to Drop Current Charge Codes, Adjudicate Only Citywide Prop B/State Camping Ban Violations, and Any Charge Codes for Individuals Experiencing Homelessness Citywide CASE VOLUME DATA Option #1: DACC to Maintain Adjudication of Prop B/Statewide Camping Ban Violations Citywide; Expand Adjudication of Current Charge Codes (all other Class C misdemeanors) Citywide - Average (max) # of cases currently adjudicated at AMC that would come to DACC: 4,715 Option #1.5: DACC to Maintain Adjudication of Prop B/Statewide Camping Ban Violations Citywide; Expand Adjudication of Current Charge Codes (other Class C misdemeanors) to Other Parts of Austin on a Needs-Based Timeline - Average (max) # of Top 10 cases that would come to DACC instead of AMC: 3,915 Option #2: DACC to Maintain Current Charge Codes in Existing Geographic Service Area and Citywide Prop B/State Camping Ban Violations, Expand …
Alignment with Key Takeaways (below) from Stakeholder Engagement Process Expanding DACC’s GSA to other parts of Austin is supported by 93 percent of participants that chose to express their preference. DACC maintaining case types for housed people (instead of exclusively serving people experiencing homelessness) is supported by 69 percent of participants that chose to express their preference. More than 40 individual stakeholder references to geographic or service expansion directly emphasized the resources needed to maintain quality service levels. Stakeholders frequently discussed ways to strengthen opportunities for individuals experiencing homelessness to connect to social service. Stakeholders expressed desire for elements such as access and equity to be prioritized in upcoming decision-making or recommendations regarding DACC’s GSA and adjudicated cases, with particular attention to the current exclusion of DACC’s benefits for people outside of the current GSA boundaries. In discussions/questions about citations, responses did not strongly align with any particular viewpoints. Some respondents said they want to see more enforcement for Class C misdemeanors; others prefer a more lenient approach. Stakeholders expressed need for more education about DACC in order to participate in productive conversations. There was also desire for more information sharing about DACC generally, particularly about available services and successful outcomes experienced by DACC defendants and clients. Stakeholders provided specific input on information that should be considered before any recommendations for change are made. This input ranged from cost analysis for staff expansion to data about DACC defendant/client diversity. Alignment with DACC's mission and purpose Does this option require policy change? Does this option require significant Court Services resources? Option #1: DACC to Maintain Adjudication of Prop B/Statewide Camping Ban Violations Citywide; Expand Adjudication of Current Charge Codes (all other Class C misdemeanors) Citywide Option #1.5: DACC to Maintain Adjudication of Prop B/Statewide Camping Ban Violations Citywide; Expand Adjudication of Current Charge Codes (other Class C misdemeanors) to Other Parts of Austin on a Needs-Based Timeline Option #2: DACC to Maintain Current Charge Codes in Existing Geographic Service Area and Citywide Prop B/State Camping Ban Violations, Expand to Include Any Charge Codes for Individuals Experiencing Homelessness Citywide Option #3: DACC to Drop Current Charge Codes, Adjudicate Only Citywide Prop B/State Camping Ban Violations, and Any Charge Codes for Individuals Experiencing Homelessness Citywide Compatible Compatible Compatible Compatible Compatible Compatible Incompatible Incompatible Compatible Compatible Compatible Compatible Compatible Compatible Compatible Incompatible - People experiencing homelessness receive other citations besides Prop B/State Camping Ban …
