Backup — original pdf

Item 11 Backup April 2022 Recommendations from Electric Utility Commission on Retirement of Austin Energy’s Portion of the Fayette Power Project Members of the EUC met with members of the RMC, the public and representatives of upper management of Austin Energy regarding the Fayette Coal-fired power plant and its future operations. While certain matters could not be fully discussed given a non- disclosure agreement and ongoing negotiations, we believe there is a path forward to continue to meet the parameters of the 2030 Resource Management Plan adopted by City Council. We provide the following direction to City Council on fulfilling that plan: 1. Recommend Austin Energy explore every avenue available to achieve closure of Austin Energy’s portion of Fayette as quickly as possible. 2. Recommend that Austin Energy continue to utilize strategies to lower carbon emissions from its portfolio of resources to continue to meet the goals of the 2030 resource plan. 3. Recommend that Austin Energy continue to issue annual RFPs for all renewable resources and evaluate the results of the RFP for up to 200 MWs of storage that was recently issued. As part of its RFP process, the EUC recommends that Austin Energy seek geographic diversity of resources and explore dispatchable renewable emerging technologies such as geothermal energy that will enhance our portfolio and move us closer to the zero-carbon goal. The EUC requests that a presentation be made once results from the latest storage and renewable resources RFPs are available. 4. Recommend that Austin Energy seek input from city council on annual budgets and expenses that come to the Fayette Management Committee to avoid making any long- term investments in the plant. 5. Include the costs of decommissioning as part of the upcoming cost of service study and upcoming rate case. 6. Evaluate the plant’s current emissions and compliance with current and proposed environmental regulations, as well as current and likely future monitoring and other compliance costs at Fayette due to: • ELG (Effluent Limitation Guidelines) • CCR (Coal Combustion Residuals) • Regional Haze (SO2 - PM stuff) • MACT (Maximum Achievable Control Technology) • Ozone • “Good Neighbor” Plan (Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR) NOX Ozone Season Group 3 Trading Program) • Other Federal Regulations as appropriate. The EUC asks AE to prepare an analysis and presentation related to these current environmental performance, compliance measures and costs, including expected future compliance issues.

4c AAC Space Crisis Information — original pdf

AAC Data for March Meeting Agenda Item: Reported Space Crisis Part 1: multi-year March data All March data 2017 to 2022 Intakes into AAC March 2017 to 2022 Adoptions March 2017 to March 2022 Pets Returned to Owner March 2017 to March 2022 Transferred to rescue group from March 2017 to March 2022 Pets Euthanized March 2017 to March 2022 Note on data: I pieced together data from reports and from the data portal. The report that used to be provided (see example here from March 2019) made it fairly easy to get older data over a multi-year period. There were a number of gaps where I could not piece together year-over-year data - including volunteer and foster data and kennel census data. As a layperson, it’s entirely possible some of this data is available for each month of each year, but I was unable to locate it. ● First and last day of the month inventory of pets in the shelter and in foster care, broken up by species (It’s hard to know what ‘full’ means year-over-year, without knowing the census. ● Number of volunteers ● Total volunteer hours ● Number of new volunteers onboarded ● Number of volunteer applications ● Number of animals that went to foster care that month - broken up by species/size ● Number of animals that were outcomes (adopted or transferred) from foster that month PART 2: Impact of being closed on Sundays Background: Annual aggregated data from 2014 and 2015 at AAC shows 44% of all adoptions were completed on Saturdays and Sundays, split roughly evenly between the two days. Saturdays and Sundays were by far the highest outcome days. Austin Open Data Portal makes it possible to see the outcomes that happened each day of the week. I reviewed the Sunday outcome data for various dates. Due to the fact that I had to count animal-by-animal, the data is just a sampling but provides enough information for me to draw the following conclusions: 1. AAC is losing the opportunity to outcome 60 to 200 (or more) pets each month by being closed on Sundays. 2. There is no evidence that Sunday has ever been the ‘slowest’ day. In order to understand Sunday activity vs. other days, staff would need to share data on adoption starts (people who come to the shelter on a Sunday to start an adoption process) and all outcomes …
