M E M O R A N D U M Mayor and Council Members Rey Arellano, Assistant City Manager May 19, 2022 TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: ATX Public Safety Vacancy Staffing Plan (Resolution No. 20220217-036) The purpose of this memorandum is to provide an update regarding the development of vacancy staffing plans for the Police, Fire, and EMS Departments as directed by Resolution No. 20220217-036. Final recommendations and the timeline necessary for Council actions to implement the staffing timeline will be provided as part of the FY 2023 Proposed Budget to be presented on July 15, 2022. Presented below is a summary of the three departments’ response to the elements outlined in the Resolution. Detailed information can be found in the attachments. The following table summarizes the FY 2022 authorized sworn staffing and vacancy rates for the three Current Staffing Levels Public Safety Departments. Department Authorized Vacant % Vacant Police Fire EMS 1809 1257 664 190 108 149 10.5% 8.6% 22.4% The factors driving attrition and therefore vacancies are specific to each department and are not Challenges Leading to Vacancies summarized here. Regarding the ability to fill vacancies, the major factors are recruitment and training capacity. Training capacity is the limiting factor in comparison to recruitment due to the length of time required to train cadets, the sworn staffing required for training, and the challenge of scheduling of training classrooms and other resources at the Public Safety Training Center to accommodate multiple cadet classes. The current departmental vacancies pose an additional challenge to staffing the cadet classes, which requires sworn staff from operational units to augment the assigned training sworn staff. 1 Presented below is a summary of how each department has projected future staffing needs. The Draft Departmental Staffing Plans timeline differs based on the unique factors associated with each department, which is detailed in the attachments. Note that an evaluation of fiscal impact has not been conducted given the ongoing contract negotiations. Recommendations regarding how best to address the projected staffing needs will be addressed in the FY 2023 Proposed Budget.

They handle only misdemeanors, criminal prosecutions, and represent the County in civil matters. They are one of the largest law firms in the city. Lucio Del Toro is directly over the criminal division. ii) There is not a formal written policy for the U-Visa process, they are handled on a case-by- case basis. Most people applying for U-Visas are victims of domestic violence. Lucio has been working on modernizing the process and increasing efficiency. iii) Lucio reviews all U-Visa applications. They do not look to disqualify anyone because by- and-large, they should qualify. The biggest delay is communication between their office and the lawyers, as the lawyers are often not very familiar with this specific process. The application is incredibly important and must be filled out correctly to verify they meet the basic requirements. iv) They have been getting consultations and feedback on their process from American Gateway and the Immigrant Legal Resource Center. They have not created a formal policy because they have more flexibility without one. Formal policy can actually hurt the people during the process because it does not account for their individual circumstances. Stricter policy means there are more reasons to disqualify someone. v) There has not been a tracking system for the process or data collection in the past for the office. They are one …

BRIEFING SUMMARY SHEET DEVELOPMENT ASSESSMENT CASE NUMBER: CD-2022-0001 REQUEST: Presentation of a Development Assessment report for the 517 South Lamar Planned Unit Development (PUD) located at 517 South Lamar Boulevard. The property is located southeast of the intersection of Barton Springs Road and South Lamar Boulevard in the West Bouldin Creek Watershed. DISTRICT: 5 DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The applicant proposes to rezone a 1.87 acre property from General Commercial Services-Vertical Mixed Use (CS-V) to Planned Unit Development (PUD) zoning. The property is currently developed with commercial land uses including limited retail and medical services. The applicant proposes the property be redeveloped with a 9- story building with approximately 400 multifamily residential units above approximately 10,000 square feet of ground floor mixed commercial land use and underground parking. The proposed rezoning would use CS-V as its base zoning district, with some modifications via the PUD rezoning. The applicant has stated that the project will comply with all Tier One PUD development standards, as well as several Tier Two standards. Tier Two standards proposed include: providing a minimum of 10% of multifamily units for families earning less than 60% of the annual Median Family Income (MFI), placing 95% of parking in a subsurface parking garage, reducing impervious cover, burying overhead utilities along Lamar Boulevard, improving local drainage conditions, utilizing green water quality controls, improved landscaping standards, rainwater irrigation, achieving a 3-star Green Building rating, increased bicycle parking, and other improvements. The applicant proposes the following Code modifications: allow the optional supplemental zone between the building and clear zone to increase from a maximum of 30 feet to 68 feet; allow a building height of 102 feet; waive Compatibility Standards as related to building height; modify scale and clustering requirements; and allow PUD zoning on a site less than 10 acres.

MEMORANDUM TO: Chair and Members of the Environmental Commission FROM: Andrei Lubomudrov Housing and Planning Department DATE: May 25, 2022 RE: Proposed annexation of one property (approximately 5.03 acres) into Travis County Water Control and Improvement District No. 10 (District); case: C12M-2022-0001 On April 13, 2022, the City received an application requesting the City’s consent to the annexation of approximately 5.03 acres located at 4315 Dunning Lane in Austin’s extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) and in the Lake Austin Watershed. The District includes properties in western Travis County and located either in the City of Austin’s ETJ or the City of West Lake Hills. The property to be annexed into the District is located in the Lake Austin Watershed. A map identifying the tract to be annexed into the District and its location relative to existing District boundaries and City jurisdictions is attached. Applicant’s Proposal The applicant seeks annexation into WCID 10 to acquire water service for about half of an existing 10-acre property, or approximately 5.03 acres. If annexation approval is granted, the property owner will subdivide the existing 10-acre property and seek to serve the 5-acre portion of the replatted lot through WCID 10. The balance of the property will be in Austin Water’s service area. As part of the Annexation into a Water District process, case number C12M-2022-0001 will go before Austin’s Commissions as well as Austin City Council. Upon City Council approval, the property will then be annexed by the District. Representatives of the property owners appeared before the District’s Board of Directors at its meeting on January 12, 2022, and the District Board approved the annexation request contingent upon receiving the City’s approval of the District’s annexation of the property. 1 City Review Process The Agreement Concerning Creation of the Travis County Water Control and Improvement District No. 10 (Consent Agreement) requires City approval for the annexation of land by the District. The District is considered a “noncity service district” and as such, the City is not authorized to place restrictions or conditions on this consent. If the City fails or refuses to consent within 90 days of receipt of a written request, the owner may petition the City to make available those services to be provided by the District. Failure to execute a mutually agreeable contract for services within 120 days constitutes authorization for inclusion of land within the District. Requests for annexation into a water …
