JIC Report on Budget Recommendations & Endorsements to Council FY22-23 — original pdf
Report on Budget Recommendations to Council for FY 2022-23 Joint Inclusion Committee The Joint Inclusion Committee (JIC) made significant changes to its approach to budget recommendations for FY 2022-23 based on comments and suggestions from the past several years. The changes were intended to reflect the mission of the JIC to better "promote close cooperation between Council City management, City boards, commissions, committees, task forces, individuals, institutions, and agencies to increase and sustain equity, diversity, and inclusion in the City of Austin. This year, we began the process by preparing a list of the issues that we believed were most pressing for the marginalized communities represented by the commissions that make up the JIC. We intended to focus our recommendations and endorsements on these priority issues without limiting commissions from making individual recommendations on issues specific to their communities. Accordingly, chairs, vice-chairs, and designated JIC representatives from the member Commissions vetted these issues in a virtual meeting. The identified issues included: ● Affordability ● Resilience ● Access ● Engagement ● Public Safety ● Health The second step was a briefing from the Budget Office on what prior-year recommendations had been included in the current adopted budget, followed by an opportunity to meet with departments to discuss their current year plans. Unfortunately, this briefing did not occur until late January of this year rather than at the beginning of the fiscal year as has been done in past years. This delay put commissions at a considerable disadvantage in preparing informed budget recommendations, given the shortened time frame between the budget briefing and the deadline for submitting recommendations. The six priority issues served as the basis for organizing our three town hall sessions, which began immediately following the Budget Office briefing. Although the priority issues provided a focus for the town halls, discussions were not limited to those subjects. Overall, the town halls supported the focus on the identified issues but provided additional contexts based on how individuals had experienced the issue. For example, while we had originally defined safe and affordable housing to include the related expense of childcare, we heard from the community that family members with disabilities presented unique unmet needs in terms of access and affordability. Additional meetings with City departments were scheduled to discuss possible recommendations and get department input. Those were scheduled so that multiple commissions with similar issues could meet with departments simultaneously to better …

2a. Environmental Justice and Tesla — original pdf
People Organized in Defense of Earth and Her Resources May 18, 2022 To: Mayor Adler and the Austin City Council 301 W. 2nd St Austin, TX 78701 URGENT: City Should Withhold Tesla Permits Until Community Demands Are Met PODER, the Texas Anti-Poverty Project (TAPP), Hornsby Bend Alliance and the local groups listed below demand that the City of Austin delay granting any further permits to Tesla until the company agrees to certain conditions regarding community engagement, environmental protection, and water access. These conditions can be negotiated through dialogue with the City of Austin, Travis County, Tesla, and appropriate community liaisons. Right now, Tesla is planning to build – in addition to their 4.2 million square foot car factory – a toxic battery cathode plant along the Colorado River, near neighborhoods that do not have access to satisfactory, affordable water, while the company is planning to receive vast amounts of water from the City of Austin for its industrial operations. We are counting on you, our representatives, to hold the company accountable to the public interest before further harm is done to communities and the environment. To date, Tesla has failed to meaningfully engage nearby residents, and elected leaders have not applied enough pressure to bring the company to the table. Two years ago, Tesla was offered tens of millions of public dollars in tax breaks from neighboring jurisdictions to come here. The signed agreements and pronouncements allude to many possible community benefits but lack specificity or enforcement provisions. Since 2020, we note that the company has cleared swaths of trees, moved mountains of dirt, filled in ponds, and poured over 100 contiguous acres of concrete for its factory, with apparently no priority given to the creation of a promised “ecological paradise” on the riverfronti. Public officials as well as neighbors have been left scratching their heads wondering whether the company will live up to any of its verbal commitments, or continue to operate with little regard to social or environmental responsibility. The Tesla factory is yet another disturbing example of environmental injustice on the east side of Austin, following a longstanding pattern of polluting industrial projects being concentrated near low-income communities of color, disregarding the negative impacts on human and environmental health. Austin in recent years has ostensibly become committed to pursuing equity and justice, as evidenced by the 2016 creation of the city’s Equity Officeii– whose motto is “Critical …

[J. Shieh – 1st; G. Cox – 2nd] Vote: 11-0-2 [C. Llanes Pulido and S. R. Praxis abstained]. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To support the applicant’s request for Multifamily Residential land use. BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: The property is 0.736-acre tract comprised three lots with single family homes on 1004 and 1006 E. 39th Street and a vacant lot on 1008 E. 39th Street. To the north and east of the property is Mixed Use/Office land use with Mixed Use along the frontage road. To the south is Single Family and Mixed Use land use. To the west is Single Family land use. The applicant proposes to change the land use on the property from Single Family and Mixed Use/Office to Multifamily Residential land use to build a 100-unit multifamily supportive affordable housing project. The project is S.M.A.R.T. Housing Certified. Staff supports the applicant’s request of Multifamily Residential land use because it steps down the land use intensity from the Mixed Use and Mixed Use/Office to the east that is closest to the IH-35 frontage road and the single family uses to the west of the property. The request will provide much-needed affordable housing to the planning area and the city to help meet the goals of the Austin Strategic Housing Blueprint. The property is near the proposed Project Connect Gold Line and approximately ½-mile south of Airport Blvd, an Imagine Austin Activity Corridor, and approximately ½-mile south of Hancock Shopping Center with an HEB grocery store and other …
