WATER AND WASTEWATER COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION 20220720 – ITEM 17 July 20, 2022 Seconded By: Commissioner Travis Michel Date: Subject: Budget Committee Report Motioned By: Vice-Chair Christianne Castleberry Recommendation The Water and Wastewater Commission approved the attached Budget Committee Report. The Budget Committee Report recommends approval of the proposed Austin Water Fiscal Year 2022- 2023 budget. Description of Recommendation to Council See Attached Report from the Water and Wastewater Commission’s Budget Committee Rationale: The Budget Committee of the Water and Wastewater Commission appreciates the opportunity to review Austin Water’s proposed Fiscal Year 2022 - 2023 budget and provide recommendations for the Water and Wastewater Commission. The attached report outlines the Committee’s review and recommendations, based on budget information provided by Austin Water staff and not the “official” budget document.

The Committee is confident that the information provided by Austin Water staff was thorough and representative of Austin Water’s official proposed Fiscal Year 2022 - 2023 budget.

Most events are conventions or meetings, but the ACC also hosts a significant number of conferences and consumer shows. Attendance peaked in 2018 at approximately 560,000 attendees. Although the number of annual events increased from 2018 to 2019, attendance decreased because the average event size was smaller. This change reflects the periodic nature of booking patterns rather than a trend. In any given year, the booking of one or two events with high attendance can cause large swings in annual attendance levels.

The lack of available dates stems from the size of the facility, which prevents the occurrence of simultaneous events. Lack of adequate meeting space was the second most frequently cited problem. The availability of hotel rooms at reasonable rates is also important. Hotel-related factors (four categories in total) account for over 31 percent of the lost business . Additional hotel supply and greater cooperation from tl1e existing hotel community are essential if the city is to realize its meeting market potential. The current convention center is too small to accommodate Austin's pot ential demand . Center management is now facing severe problems in its attempts to retain a number of annual repeating events . Many national rotating events that previously came to Austin and liked the community cannot return because they are now too large for the facility . Many state events have also outgrown the facility. The chart below shows potential scenarios for exhibit-hall occupancy under three potential growth rates (2, 4, and 6 percent) . Exhibit-hall occupancy is the number of days an exhibition hall is rented (including move-in and move- OUt days) divided by the number of days in the year.

Dear Mayor Adler and Austin City Council Members, As a native Austinite, and a concerned resident who serves as a Commissioner for the African American Resource Advisory Commission (AARAC), I write this letter in support of agenda item #56 on your March 24, 2022, City Council agenda. This resolution provides direction to the City Manager and named City of Austin Departments to prioritize the Colony Park Sustainable Community Initiative (CPSCI) Project. This resolution provides the City of Austin another opportunity to intentionally live out its claim of being livable, mobile and interconnected, prosperous, creative, educated, and a city who values and respects all people. I am certain you are aware of the challenges and neglect the Colony Park area has endured during the last 50 years. The fact that this area today continues to be a food desert that lacks full- service healthcare and financial centers, grocery stores, restaurants, and libraries, while experiencing some of the highest rates of mortality and morbidity in Travis County, is a sad reality for the City of Austin. Here is the moment to stand and discontinue the failed practices and promises that have hurt so many generations of African American Austinites. Here is the moment to announce boldly that all areas of our city matter and deserve the same opportunities for intentional investment, infrastructure, housing, and resources that improve quality of life outcomes. Here is your moment to break the cycle of projects that never finish, funding that is never found and dreams that are never realized. I challenge you today to be courageous and caring enough to approve this resolution and commit to developing and fulfilling a clear financing plan for the CPSCI. Do not participate in the painful tradition of wasting employee hours, community members time and sacrifices, and perpetuating the causes of generational distrust in our community. Make this plan and the Colony Park community a true priority for the City of Austin. Thank you for your time and sincere consideration. Signed, Rev. Dr. Daryl Horton Chair, African American Resource Advisory Commission
