PARKS AND ENVIRONMENT WORKING GROUP RECOMMENDATIONS 2 | Page I. Introduction This document provides recommendations from the Parks and Environment Working Group to identify park amenities to leverage tourism funding for park-specific projects that can benefit parks and environment in our community. The document was prepared as a collaborative effort of the appointed members of the Parks and Environment Working Group which currently includes Commissioners Ronan and Cannatti, and also includes community/stakeholder representatives Molly Alexander (formerly, Downtown Austin), Hanna Cofer (The Trail Conservancy), George Cofer (formerly, Hill Country Conservancy), Clark Hancock (Save Barton Creek Association), Kayla Reese (Austin Parks Foundation), Ted Siff (Shoal Creek Conservancy), Chuck Smith (Pease Park Conservancy), and Scott Joslove (Texas Hotel and Lodging Association). A. Directive from Tourism Commission On February 20, 2020, the Tourism Commission appointed the Parks and Environment Working Group look into (1) Chapter 351 funding options for using hotel occupancy tax funds to benefit parks and/or environment, (2) Chapter 334 funding options for using hotel occupancy tax funds to benefit parks/environment, (3) park amenities to leverage tourism funding for park- specific projects, and (4) Palm Park HOT funding options. On May 10, 2021, the Working Group presented a set of recommendations for Topics 1-2 that were adopted by the Tourism Commission for recommendation to Council. However, the Working Group did not address Topics 3 or 4. Accordingly, the Working Group has not been closed since these topics remained to be addressed. B. Overview of Working Group Recommendation Process With discussions initiated on July 26, 2022, the Working Group has worked virtually to explore Topic 3 for the purpose of identifying park amenities to leverage tourism funding for park-specific projects. This topic is not limited to the hotel occupancy tax funding constraints provided by Chapters 351 and 334 of the Texas Tax Code, but should explore other funding sources. While there was an interruption in their work in late 2022, the Working Group has since worked collaboratively to identify and recommend a number of potential funding sources, starting with funding …
CITY OF AUSTIN TOURISM COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION Recommendation Number: 20240313-XXX: These recommendations from the Tourism Commission’s Parks and Environment Working Group identify park amenities to leverage tourism funding for park- specific projects that can benefit parks and environment in our community. WHEREAS, the City of Austin is regarded as one of the most environmentally conscious cities in the country, with our parks, preserves, open spaces, waterways, spring-fed pools and greenbelt trails attracting tourists and citizens alike to Austin’s parks and environment; WHEREAS, Austin’s tourism industry actively uses our parks and environmental attractions to promote tourism to Austin, as readily seen from Visit Austin’s website listing Austin parks and environmental attractions (https://www.austintexas.org/things-to-do/history/austin-parks-recreation/), featuring Barton Springs Pool, Zilker Metropolitan Park, Mt. Bonnell, Lady Bird Lake Butler Trail, and many more; WHEREAS, traditional funding sources for parks and environment spaces have struggled to keep up with our growing city, and have even dwindled over the years, especially with recent state law changes which prevent the City of Austin from collecting parkland development funds, decreasing the amount of parkland the city can require, and limiting the ability of municipalities to raise property tax revenue that could otherwise be used to pay for park and environment projects; and WHEREAS, the Tourism Commission was established to provide expertise and recommendations to the City Council concerning issues related to and that promote tourism, and in this role, seeks to find ways for both the tourism industry and the citizens of Austin to benefit; and WHEREAS, the Parks and Environment Working Group was appointed to prepare recommendations to identify park amenities to leverage tourism funding for park-specific projects that can benefit parks and environment in our community. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Austin Tourism Commission encourages the Austin City Council to consider and direct staff to consider the funding opportunities in the Parks and Environment Working Group Recommendations (attached) for park-specific projects that can benefit parks and environment in our community.
