20210119-004a: Rainey Tower Heritage Tree Variance SPC-2021-0129C Recommendation — original pdf
ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION MOTION 20210119-004a Date: January 19, 2022 RATIONALE: Subject: Rainey Tower SPC-2021-0129C Heritage Tree Variance Motion by: Jennifer Bristol Seconded by: Perry Bedford WHEREAS, the Environmental Commission recognizes the applicant is seeking removal of a Heritage tree with a stem greater than 30 inches as allowed under LDC § 25-8-643 and § 25-8- 624(A)(2). WHEREAS, the Environmental Commission recognizes the tree requested to be removed is a 32.5 inch Heritage pecan. WHEREAS, the Environmental Commission recognizes the City Arborist rates the pecan as Fair condition; poor structure; and has a history of large previous failures and damage to the present building. WHEREAS, the Environmental Commission recognizes that the Environmental Criteria Manual standard is 300% mitigation, and mitigation for the site shall be addressed by further enhancing the streetscape planting conditions required under the UNO Great Streets program. The applicant has proposed a menu of options that support greater tree health and longevity such as structural soil cells, permeable paving, and expanded continuous planting beds. WHEREAS, the Environmental Commission recognizes the applicant is proposing a five years tree care plan to provide ongoing maintenance for all new trees, and one-time improvements to additional streetscape trees and tree grates as needed and identified. WHEREAS, the Environmental Commission recognizes that the request meets the City Arborist’s approval criteria set forth in LDC 25-8-624(A)(2), and thus the variance is recommended by staff. THEREFORE, the Environmental Commission recommends the requested variance request with the following: Environmental Commission Conditions: 1. Implement a thorough 5-year tree care and maintenance plan at the cost of approximately $13,600 to increase tree viability over time for the eight (8) planted trees (monitor, water, fertilize, prune, etc.). 2. Implement a 5-year tree care plan for the three (3) preserved Protected and Heritage trees at the cost of approximately $12,900 to increase tree viability through construction and post-construction (monitor, water, fertilize, etc.). 3. Tree #2145 and maintaining for 5 years, which is approximately between $150,000 – $170,000. This cost is in addition to the tree removal mitigation costs in code which are approximately $21,000 1 (depending upon tree health valuation by staff), which we propose be used in on-site streetscape improvements. Therefore, we are proposing to provide an approximate total of $171,000 - $191,000 of improvements in lieu of preserving Tree #2145 for comprehensive and enhanced viability improvements to the pedestrian streetscape and paseo. 4. Ensure perpetual care of the remaining …

Safer_Sixth_Street_Initiative_Backup — original pdf
TO: Mayor and Council Members FROM: Joseph Chacon, Austin Police Department Chief Denise Lucas, Development Services Director DATE: December 27, 2021 SUBJECT: Safer 6th Street Initiative (Resolution No. 20210729-175) The purpose of this memo is to provide a response on action items related to the Safer 6th Street resolution. Background Council Resolution No. 20210729-175 established City Council support for implementing a more comprehensive strategy toward 6th Street that maximizes its assets, embraces new opportunities, and ensures a safer environment for all, and established that the strategy needs to be multi-faceted and build on previous stakeholder processes and consultant reports. The resolution outlined actions to be taken, and for staff to report to Council on the results. Below is the response on each action item. Response to Action Items • Action #1: Create an interdepartmental team led by the Entertainment Services Group and with representation from – at a minimum – the Austin Police Department, Austin Transportation Department, Austin Energy, Austin Fire Department, Austin/Travis County Emergency Medical Services, Austin Code, and the Historic Preservation Office. Response: The interdepartmental team was created, held their kick-off meeting on August 16, 2021, and continued to meet to carry out the action items in the resolution. • Action #2: Use temporary lighting and upgrade existing lighting if necessary to provide dramatically brighter spaces along the 6th Street corridor. Response: The interdepartmental team identified locations that need additional lighting as well as priority areas for lighting. For context, 6th Street has decorative light poles, and the north-south side streets and alleys have traditional street light poles. The decorative poles on 6th Street had previously been upgraded to LED and optimized. The locations identified by the team for additional lighting are the north-south side streets and alleys. Austin Energy crews went through the 6th Street District to assess and perform maintenance on the existing traditional street lighting poles. Within the district crews replaced all of the old style high pressure sodium fixtures with LED. In all, AE replaced 64 heads of which approximately 10% were not working. Next Steps: • Conduct a lighting study to assess if there are gaps in the street light network in the district. Requests for new street light poles to fill any identified gaps will require funding and need to be added to Austin Energy’s priority list for installs. • Street light poles in the alleys are limited. There is very little …
20220119-3b: Rename the Veterans Services Office to HRD USERRA Program — original pdf
COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION Commission on Veterans Affairs Recommendation Number: (20220119-3b): Rename the Veterans Services Office to HRD USERRA Program WHEREAS, the City of Austin Human Resources Department Veteran Services Office (HRDVSO) supports City employees who are veterans, guard, and reserve members of the armed forces. HRDVSO Office is a resource for individual employees, City departments, and City management. WHEREAS, the HRDVSO was created to ensure compliance with the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 (USERRA) and is an inward-facing program meant to assist city employees in the National Guard, Reserves, or those ordered to active duty. USERRA applies to members of the Armed Forces, Reserves, National Guard, and other "Uniformed Services" (including the National Disaster Medical System and the Commissioned Corps of the Public Health Service). WHEREAS, Texas Labor Code §302.151 assimilates United States Code 38 USC §101(2) and defines a Veteran as a person who served in the active military, naval, or air service, and who was discharged or released therefrom under conditions other than dishonorable. Active services include full-time duty in the National Guard or a Reserve component, other than full-time for training purposes. In accordance with the various statues, Veterans are no longer serving in the armed forces. The primary purpose of the Veterans Service office was to assist city employees who are National Guard and Reserves. The majority of those that fall under USERRA are not Veterans; however, they are Guard and Reservists who have not yet become Veterans since they have not been discharged from service and met specific requirements. WHEREAS, over 50,000 veterans living in the Capital area are not city employees who are often seeking veteran services. The name, City of Austin Veterans Service Office insinuates that they provide services for veterans. This misnomer has led many in the Veterans Community to believe the City of Austin offers services to Austin veterans. The name Veteran Service office does not reflect their primary function of assisting non-veterans who are National Guard and Reservist who are city employees. THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Commission on Veteran Affairs recommends that the name of the City of Austin Human Resources Department Veterans Service Office be changed to the HRD USERRA program. This action will alleviate the confusion and assist with the efficient delivery of services. Date of Approval: January 19, 2022 Record of the vote: Unanimous on a 7-0 vote, Commissioner Denny motion, Commissioner …

Valencia、市检察官办公室的Caroline Matt Dugan、Patricia Fraga和Lisa Rodriguez帮助独立公民选区重划委员会（ICRC）以 Webster和市审计师Corrie Stokes对ICRC及其工作的支持。感谢ICRC工作人员，包括行政主管Chris- tine Granados、法律顾问David Richards和地图绘制专家George Korbel的不懈努力和乐观精神。特 别感谢Peck Young的倡导和一直以来的支持。 感谢《Community Impact Newspaper》、《Telemundo》、《Fox 7》、《The Austin Mon- itor》、《The Austin American Statesman》、《KUT》和《The Austin Chronicle》对选区重划进 程的报道。我们还衷心感谢Austin各地的许多场所向ICRC敞开大门，尤其是在新冠肺炎疫情期间， 让我们能够征求公众意见。感谢Dell Jewish社区中心、Gus Garcia娱乐中心、Dove Springs娱乐中 心、Northwest娱乐中心、Mayfield Cottage、South Austin娱乐中心、位于Oak Hill的Travis县社区 中心、LBJ野花中心、George Washington Carver和Austin独立学区。 最重要的是，我们要感谢Austin市民同胞的公民参与，没有他们的参与，整个过程就不可能实现。 我们希望，Austin的公民能为拥有一个独立的民有、民治、民享的公民选区重划委员会而骄傲。 执行摘要 “地图要由人民来画。” 2021 ICRC最终报告 第5页 – Austin市民地域代表性组织，2012年 根据Austin城市法典第II条第3节的规定，独立公民选区重划委员会（ICRC）具有为Austin 市的市议会区建立并采纳地图的唯一法律地位，同时保持严格的独立性，不受市议会的影 2021年10月6日，经过数周的审议和若干草案，ICRC一致表决通过了Austin市议会区的新地图， 响。 该地图将在未来十年内实施。面对2020年人口普查数据延迟和新冠肺炎疫情的限制，2021 ICRC举行 了40多次公开会议，包括全市范围内的20场公共论坛，并在市宪章规定的11月1日截止日期前对最终 地图进行了认证。 ICRC严格遵守宪章规定的七项选区重划标准，方法一节对此作了进一步详细说明。此外，委员会 还合作制定了指导工作的一套共同价值观和规范（见附录A）。在制作地图的整个过程中，下文列出的 原则为选区重划的成果奠定了基础。 平等代表权：选区重划的核心问题是平等和公平的代表权，包括历史上代表权不足的社区在市议会 中的代表权（这些社区由联邦法律予以定义和保护）。每个选区的城市居民人数应尽可能接近，根 据2020年美国人口普查，这个数字大约为96,185人。 独立意见：独立的选区重划程序使居民能够在不受政治影响的情况下，对社区的发展具有发言权。 选区重划程序的完整性取决于委员会能否纳入Austin人的声音。 快速成长和变化：独立的选区重划程序使ICRC能够专注于根据人口增长和流动情况来重划区界， 而不是关注或考虑选举结果。 第6页 为何会有ICRC：起源故事 Commissioner Application Process 319 applicants Over 300 Austin residents applied for a seat on the ICRC in 2020. 60

Entire ICRC in place by its meeting on June 20, 2021 2012年，Austin通过投票为公开和透明的绘制地图程序制定了标准，即联合实施10-1的市议会 结构，同时成立独立公民选区重划委员会（ICRC），为这10个单一成员议会区划定边界。2013 年，Austin成为美国第一个通过志愿服务来绘制市议会区地区的城市，该志愿服务是由一个完全 独立的Austin人团体提供的。这些历史性的里程碑不仅改变了城市的选举制度，也改变了其代表权比 例，为全国的城市提供了示范。在接下来的选举年，Austin市议会的组成经过转变，更紧密地代表该市 的不同社区。 在委员会成立的前一年，有三百一十九（319）名Austin居民申请加入委员会。市审计师办公室从 44名注册会计师（CPA）中随机挑选了三名独立审计师，组成申请人审查小组（ARP），该小组根据申 请人的选民登记历史记录、在最近的市议会选举中的参与情况、分析能力指标、公正性以及对Austin 的地理和多样性的认可程度，挑选了60名合格的申请人。申请人必须在Austin居住和行使投票权满五 年，有任何政治利益冲突的候选人将被取消资格。 2021年1月，ARP随机抽取了8人担任委员会成员。首批八名委员是： e 为何会有ICRC：起源故事 2021 ICRC最终报告 第7页 Erin Dempsey Luis Gonzalez Errol Hardin Prabhu Kannan Sterling Lands博士 Hoang Le BJ Morris Eugene Schneider Joshua Blank Sara Inés Calderón Camellia Falcon Shaina Kambo（学生代表） Christina Puentes Selina Yee 这些委员的任务是选择另外六名成员，以使ICRC的委员总数达到14人，其中包括一名学生代表。 这些初始成员花了三个月时间审议第二批六名成员，他们优先考虑地理多样性（涵盖十个选区）、性 别、种族/民族、年龄和专业经验。由此产生的2021 ICRC由居住在全部十个市议会区的成员组成，反 映了Austin的种族/民族多样性，委员年龄从24岁到80岁不等。 第二批六名委员是： 2021年6月2日，委员会全票通过推选Christina Puentes任主席，Luis Gonzalez任副主席。 第8页 委员会成员 2021年10月27日，独立公民选区重划委员会在Austin的许可和发展中心（PDC，地址：6310 Wilhelmina Delco Dr.）举行 会议，在认证Austin市议会区地图后，大家合影留念。委员从左到右是：第一排 – 副主席Luis Gonzalez (D7)、主席Chris- tina Puentes (D7)、Hoang Le (D3)、Selina Yee (D1)和Sara Inés Calderón (D2)。第二排 – Joshua Blank (D8)、Sterling Lands (D4)、Shaina Kambo (D9)、Errol Hardin (D1)、Eugene Schneider (D6) 和Erin …
