2 - Equity Lens on Funding Programs Presentation — original pdf
Equity Considerations in Contracts and Program Funding Historic Landmark Commission August 3, 2022 Neal Falgoust, Assistant City Attorney Purpose • Discuss legal risks associated with using race, gender and protected-class criteria in determining awards of contracts and program funding. 2 Why Now? • Recent federal court decisions that put race-focused programs at risk. • Law Department deliberative process. • Briefing to City Council. 3 Acknowledgement • History of intentional racial segregation – 1928 Master Plan and “Negro District.” • Oppression of BIPOC – 1954 Federal Housing Act, “urban renewal,” and seizing of Black-owned land. • City Council has committed the City to correcting its racist practices. (Resolution 20210304-067) 4 City’s Programs • As part of Project Connect, community members developed displacement mitigation strategies and an equity tool to guide decision making. (“Nothing About Us Without Us”) • EDD also wants an equity focus for the Cultural Arts and Heritage Tourism grant programs. 5 Legal Foundation • 14th Amendment – Equal Protection Clause • No government may “deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” 6 “Tiered Scrutiny” • Strict Scrutiny (Race, National Origin, Religion, Alienage) – Government must demonstrate the policy is narrowly tailored to meet a compelling purpose. • Intermediate Scrutiny (Gender, Sex, Sexual Orientation?) – Government must demonstrate the policy is substantially related to an important purpose. • Rational Basis (Age, Disability, Wealth, Felony Status) – The policy must have a rational connection to a legitimate interest. 7 Strict Scrutiny Any government program that takes race into consideration faces strict scrutiny by the courts. Strict scrutiny is the most rigorous judicial review. Courts start with presumption that policy is invalid and government must prove its interests. 8 Compelling Government Interest The government must demonstrate: • actual discrimination in the relevant market, and • that the government either actively or passively perpetuated the discrimination. 9 Narrowly Tailored The government must demonstrate: • it considered other race-neutral policies; • race-neutral policies failed to achieve the compelling interest. 10 City of Richmond v. J.A. Croson Co. • “Generalized assertions” of past racial discrimination would not justify “rigid” quotas; • 30 percent quota could not be connected to “any injury suffered by anyone;” • Race-neutral measures must be seriously considered. 11 Evidence Acceptable to a Court Disparity studies are conducted to determine if there is discrimination in the studied market and if the government is an active …

I'll be at the meeting tomorrow to speak. Other tenants might possibly speak, too, though a number of them have multiple jobs and could find it difficult to attend. Attached are a couple photos of what the topmost window in my apartment looks like now. I've also attached a video of when they broke the window (when they were hammering siding all day long onto this side of the building). I was recording the noise from them hammering the siding, and I happened to capture video of them actually breaking the window. (I was "lucky," because in another apartment, when they broke the window it shattered into the apartment and onto the tenant's table while he was there.) The contractors were going into apartments today to stuff these windows with insulation and cover them "permanently" from the inside. I will not be allowing them in my unit. Also, we were not given notice about this, and they have been using keys provided to them by management--they even covered the neighbor's security camera when they went in to do the "work" in her absence. I have something written to share with the Commission, which I'll send along later. Thank you for your help, Jackie CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.

25.d - 3107 Speedway - public comment — original pdf
My name is Jackie Doyle, I live at 3107 Speedway, Apt. 202, one of the sixteen apartments at this address. I am chagrined to learn that this property’s developer/owner/landlord (Amir Kalantari) defied the Historic Landmark Commission and undertook the demolition/construction work at this address before the Commission could hold this hearing, notice of which I received only last week. Along with a number of other residents, I started reporting the extreme noise and hazardous conditions caused by the demolition and construction activities at this complex to Code Compliance in early June. The Code inspector informed us that there was no building permit, and he came to the property on numerous occasions, documented violations, and told the crews to stop work—which they nevertheless resumed when he was not there. A number of tenants, including myself, started taking photos and videos of the work and hazardous conditions. While this developer (Amir Kalantari), apparently contemptuous of the Commission’s and the City’s authority, clearly views the process of securing a permit as a bureaucratic inconvenience, his tenants have very painfully experienced how un-permitted, unregulated, and unmonitored demolition and construction activities cause havoc, creating very dangerous conditions at an occupied property and destroying the unique, defining characteristics of a building. In June, the Code inspector sent (to the name and address on file) a certified letter concerning this un-permitted work; the building permit application gave only “Parker at Hyde Park LLC” as the name, and a PO box as the owner’s address. The name of the owner/developer/landlord is Amir Kalantari, and he continued to have the contractors perform the work. The Code inspector spoke directly with Amir’s representative, Solé, telling her the work must stop; at one point, she deceitfully attempted to pass off an old permit as current. This work did not involve any repairs whatsoever. None of the work was necessary. It did not represent an improvement in any way, shape, or form. In fact, the construction activities themselves made the property dangerous for everyone: there was debris strewn everywhere, including large blades for cutting metal; welding work was undertaken right outside our doors, leaving us exposed to potentially blinding welding arcs when we came out of our apartments; stairways and breezeways were often blocked in both directions, forcing us to maneuver around workers metal railings were being cut all day (for many days) right outside our doors—the excruciatingly painful noise made it …

I live next door ( 15 feet from our bedroom) and am very worried about the demolition as my wife is sick with major cancer and undergoing chemo at the moment. I realize I missed the noon deadline to speak remotely but I hope you can make an exception as she is immuno compromised and I am not going in public at the moment. There are several other reasons I oppose this demo and I would like the opportunity to share them with the commission. Thank you for any help you can offer.

26.b - 1514 Newton St - public comment — original pdf
PR-2022-064526 Proposed Demolition of 1514 Newton. To : Historic Preservation Office I am writing to voice my opposition to the proposed demolition of 1514 Newton St. I am asking the commission to please consider a postponement or deny the request for the following reasons. I have a very big concern about the developer rushing into this demolition. This house is 15 feet away from our house and my wife has a serious health condition and we are concerned about asbestos and lead paint dust (among other contaminants) coming over to our property next door. We already had dust this week from a house torn down 150 feet from where we live. If demolition is the only option, I would like time to discuss this with the developer and develop a plan of action to contain the potential hazards to our health. I believe that the developer should consider saving the existing house, which was constructed by the same person (Mr. Polvado) who built our house next door in 1920. He was the uncle of the woman (Dorothy Polvado) who we purchased our house from in 2003 and lived here her entire life. I would like more time to research the historical significance of Mr. Polvado’s life and the construction of these two historical housed. The house at 1514 was updated in period style circa 2006 by local architects Michelle and Eric Van Hyte who are current Austin residents. I would like the developer to consider preserving the current house and possibly adding an ADU in the back, as opposed to erasing the history of our neighborhood. When we remodeled our house next door in 2009, we retained the historic look and feel of the neighborhood. I recently visited another property the 1514 developer is developing and I am concerned about the height of the building he built on it. If that is the intention here, I hope he will consider what is next door when designing the new building. (Please see photos on page 2) I also have a concern about 110 year old pecan trees, which we share as neighbors. There are a couple that hang over my house that the base of the tree is on the border of 1514 Newton and my fence line. Our intersection (Newton & Monroe) is one of the last areas with multiple historic style bungalows, which have been preserved by their respective …
