Monthly Report on License Agreements 2022 - 05 May This report is in agreement with the terms outlined in Section 8.4 of the License Agreement between the City of Austin and Austin Pets Alive! with a focus on APA!’s impact on Travis county through our partnership with Austin Animal Center. Summary: Austin Pets Alive! (APA!) continues to be the city of Austin’s largest partner in lifesaving and the largest subsidizer of the city’s budget to serve Austin animals. APA! takes animals with medical and behavioral issues requiring a higher cost per animal than the average healthy animal in care. APA! focuses on these animals to have a measurable effect on the live release rate at AAC. Operations Impact APA and AAC serve the community in tandem and our combined efforts impact the live release rate across the city, county, and surrounding areas. *dogs and cats only Adoptions 468 871 1,339 S/N at the Shelter 410 565 975 In Foster 397 1,270 1,667 Intake 1,333* 1,089 2,422 AAC APA!

Memo to Council on Living Wage Proposal original pdf

Thumbnail of the first page of the PDF
Page 1 of 6 pages

M E M O R A N D U M TO: THRU: Mayor and Council Members Spencer Cronk, City Manager Veronica Briseño, Assistant City Manager Joya Hayes, Human Resources and Civil Service Director April 28, 2022 Living Wage Work Group Process FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: The purpose of this memorandum is to provide an overview of the living wage stakeholder review process and transmit to Council a summary of their work and recommendations. In 2014, the City Council passed Resolution 20141016-035 which directed the City Manager to provide staff support for a stakeholder process to develop recommendations regarding the City’s living wage rate and policy. During that process, stakeholders met seven times from January to May 2015, provided their recommendation to Council, and then briefed the Council. After the presentation to Council, the City Manager in conjunction with the annual budget process brought forward a plan to increase the Living Wage rate to $15.00 per hour by 2020. Similar to the 2015 process, the Human Resources Department provided staff support by convening meetings with the community organizations who participated in the previous Living Wage Stakeholder Group. Other organizations were invited upon the Groups' recommendation. The Group met four times: January 26, February 9 and 23, and March 9, 2022. Like the previous process, this memorandum provides the Group’s recommendation to Council. The Group will present their recommendation at a future Council work session. Attached to this memorandum are the summaries of the meeting topics, major data points reviewed, recommendations from the Group, and participating organizations. HRD and the Budget Office have preliminary provided an estimate of costs associated with a $22.00 per hour living wage rate for FY23. The costs to the City budget is estimated between $18.2M to $22.8M. These costs do not include any sworn employees. City staff will provide more information on the budget impact, costs if sworn employees were included, and potential living wage rates that work within a balanced budget. We will also review our current pay grade structure, specifically the number of pay grades that will be impacted, projected increases, and how this impacts our current employees. If you have any questions before the presentation by the Group occurs, please contact me.

20220613-03E: Vicious Dog Ordinance original pdf

Thumbnail of the first page of the PDF
Page 1 of 4 pages

ANIMAL ADVISORY COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION 20220613-03E Seconded By: Commissioner Jo Anne Norton Recommended changes to Vicious Dog, 3-4-7, in the City Code Date: 6/13/22 Subject: Motioned By: Recommendation The Commission recommends that City Code 3-4-7, Vicious Dog, is amended to read as in the description below. Description of Recommendation to Council [Include the backup from the May meeting here] Rationale: Currently, once a dog has been determined “vicious,” it cannot be kept in the City. Such a dog may not be a threat as long as the owner is willing to take extra precautions to avoid the circumstances that caused the bad behavior in the first place. It is also possible for dogs to get training to improve their behavior. With no other option, these dogs could end up in a shelter, or worse. They become hard to place in a new home, and without that support, their behavior may deteriorate further in a shelter. We believe the proposed change would allow dogs to stay with their owners, with the potential for improved behavior, with very little risk to the public. Vote For: 12 Against: 0 Abstain: 0 Absent: 1 (vacant) Attest: [Staff or board member can sign] 1 of 2 Proposed revision to Section 3-4-7 2 of 2 Proposed revision to Section 3-4-7 3-4-7 VICIOUS DOG. (A) An owner or handler shall take reasonable measures to protect the public from accidental contact with a dog that, by nature or by training, is dangerous to people or other animals. (B) [ An owner or handler may not keep or permit a dog to be in the city if the dog has] For purposes of this section, a vicious dog is a dog that, while running at large, has: [(1) on at least three separate occasions bitten or scratched a person in the city; (2) on at least one occasion bitten or scratched a person to an extent that the attending physician has presented an affidavit to the health authority stating that the person’s life may have been endangered by the dog; or (3) on at least one occasion:] [(a)] (1) killed a another dog, cat, or other domestic pet, fowl, or livestock, provided, however, that when the incident occurred, the killed animal was not in violation of a provision of this title relating to the confinement or physical control of animals in the City; or [(b)] (2) seriously injured another animal …
