Following several questions from Chair Russell on the matter, Sergeant Jones clarified that these agencies will follow their respective policies and protocols, but APD would ultimately retain overall authority as the lead agency and would coordinate with the supervisors from other agencies. He added that private events can currently contract with Code4. Austin Fire Department (AFD) Chair Russell inquired whether a third‐party agreement might be feasible for AFD.

Chief Prior suggested that the ordinance could be revised to allow AFD to enter into third‐party agreements. The Task Force asked Mr. Summers to record two recommendations for future consideration. 1) Council …
