This strategic direction guides the next three to five years and outlines imperatives to advance equitable outcomes across Austin. IMPETUS FOR STRATEGIC DIRECTION Research conducted in 2017, a few years into the City’s new 10-1 system of geographic district representation, concluded four areas for the organization to address: 1. Lack of clear, shared citywide priorities 2. Shared sense that City is not dealing with critical issues that will determine its future 3. Effective governance has been a challenge 4. Inadequate feedback and learning loops As a single playbook for the City of Austin, this strategic direction addresses these areas of opportunity and establishes a framework for effective governance going forward. STRATEGIC DIRECTION 2023 Strategic Direction 2023 is inspired by Imagine Austin, which flourished from an extensive community engagement process that laid out a 30-year vision for our community. (View the Imagine Austin Dashboard, highlighting its eight Priority Programs and related indicators, at austintexas.gov/imagineaustin/indicators.) This strategic direction sets six strategic outcomes for the next three to five years. Utilizing an outcome-based approach to setting priorities and budgeting enables …

I have tried to contact the applicant with questions I have regarding her exemption request. I have not heard back, so I do not believe I could give a well-informed opinion at the upcoming meeting about agreement/objection. Can you let me know you received this? If there is anything else I need to do, please let me know.

E-3/23 Sista Irie Ramirez, Elaine Request for Postponement Thursday, May 05, 2022 3:39:52 PM city.pdf From: To: Cc: Subject: Date: Attachments: Hello Elaine, *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Please find attached my copy of a request to postpone the hearing on May 9 regarding an Easement request for Lisa Gray at Red Door LLC. The property in question is at 509 E 38th Street and can be found by Case Number C15-2022-0043. The request for postponement is being made because the neighbors closest to this property do not feel we have enough information to allow the request to be approved without us further understanding what it is they are proposing to build. There are young children who live right behind this house and long time home owners who greatly value the less density of our neighborhood, keeping the noise to a minimum and to not encourage additional traffic. People already cut through this very intersection to avoid the Duval light. Anything that will encourage more unnecessary residential traffic is a reduction in quality of life while our property taxes increase at a wildly out of control rate. Please accept this form as my request for a postponement in an effort to allow the impacted neighbors to meet with the applicant in an effort to understand the reason for the request. Warm regards, …
