Stacey Peterson President, Angus Valley Area Neighborhood Association 12300 Audane Dr. Austin, TX 78727 bc-Hank.Smith@austintexas.gov May 30, 2025 Hank Smith, Chair Zoning and Platting Commission City of Austin Re: Support for Rezoning Case C14-2024-0170 (Duval Rd.) Dear Chair Smith: I am writing on behalf of the Angus Valley Area Neighborhood Association (AVANA) to express our support for Rezoning Case C14-2024-0170 concerning the property on Duval Rd. & 183. After some honest and productive conversations with the developer, we were able to reach an agreement that reflects real give-and-take. The signed Memorandum of Understanding outlines compromises that matter to us such as improved buffer zones, fencing, and other site considerations that will help protect the character of the surrounding neighborhood. We are grateful that the developer was willing to listen and adjust. With that in mind, AVANA supports this rezoning request, and we hope the Commission will approve it in alignment with the terms spelled out in the MOU (attached here for reference). Thank you for your time and for the work you do on behalf of Austin’s neighborhoods. Sincerely, Stacey Peterson President, AVANA Attachment: Signed MOU for C14-2024-0170 03 C14-2024-0170 - Duval PDA; District 61 of 3 03 C14-2024-0170 - Duval PDA; District 62 of 3 03 C14-2024-0170 - Duval PDA; District 63 of 3

BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION Urban Transportation Commission Recommendation Number 20540604-00X: Residential Parking Program Proposed Rule R161-25.10 WHEREAS, the Residential Permit Parking (RPP) program was created in 1997 to address overflow parking in neighborhoods adjacent to the University of Texas and has since expanded to over 52 zones citywide with more than 6,000 designated parking spaces; WHEREAS, the program requires resident engagement and significant community support, including 60–66.7% support from affected residents and evidence of 75% occupancy during a two-week survey to justify RPP implementation; WHEREAS, recent survey data gathered from over 750 participants and 5,500 responses indicate a significant level of dissatisfaction with the current RPP program, with 60–70% of comments being negative or critical, including concerns about fairness, program access for renters, and lack of enforcement; WHEREAS, the Director’s proposed rule changes include re-evaluation criteria, such as declaring a zone underutilized if fewer than 66% of eligible households purchase or renew permits annually, and improving procedural transparency around permit revocation and appeals; WHEREAS, the proposed Director Rules introduce more inclusive definitions of “resident” that acknowledge the realities of renters in multi-family units and propose new tools such as affordable permits, construction passes, and expanded access to day passes; WHEREAS, public feedback suggests a desire to shift the program’s stated goals away from guaranteeing residential convenience toward managing curb space as a public resource in a way that ensures safety, mobility, and fairness for all users of the public right-of-way; WHEREAS, equitable access to the public right-of-way is a key priority, and UTC believes the Director’s Rules should ensure that residents of larger multi-family properties are not excluded from visitor permit access or comparable benefits afforded to single-family homes; NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the UTC recommends the Director’s Rules maintain the following provisions: ● Hybrid Parking Regulations; ● Definition of resident in Section V(5), which is inclusive of Multi-Family residents; ● Allowing multi-unit residential properties with seven or more units to be eligible for Day Passes under Section XII(F)(1) ● Creation of Construction Passes under Section XII(F)(2); and ● Residential Parking Program Re-evaluation Criteria, including that a zone may be underutilized if fewer than 66% of eligible households purchase or renew permits annually in Section XI(C)(1); BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the UTC recommends the Director’s Rules are amended to remove provisions in Section I stating that the purpose of the Residential Parking Program is, in part, to make it …

City of Austin Office of the City Auditor Audit Report APD License Plate Reader May 2025 The Austin Police Department (APD) has a new Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) program approved under a trial period from March 2024-March 2025. As a part of departmental policy, APD’s Risk Management Unit audits the program against Resolution- informed criteria quarterly. APD Risk Management generally reported accurate ALPR metrics and ensured compliance with policy requirements. However, there were issues with missing or late data that could be fixed with increased clarity and scheduling in the audit process. Also, we found that APD’s ALPR program and audit requirements are generally aligned with selected peer police departments. Additionally, the City should make changes to APD’s contract with Flock Safety, APD’s ALPR vendor, to ensure that it could not lead to unauthorized data sharing in Resolution-directed instances. Audit Highlights May 2025 City of Austin Office of the City Auditor APD License Plate Reader Objectives The objectives of this audit were to: 1. Evaluate APD’s ALPR Risk Management audits for reliability and effectiveness 2. Compare the ALPR program with peer police departments 3. Monitor for additional emergent risks. What We Found We found APD’s Risk Management quarterly audits generally reported accurate numbers for the Resolution-mandated metrics and ensured compliance with policy requirements. We found some small discrepancies that were ultimately corrected. However, there were instances where there were gaps in required items due to not pulling data on-time, not requesting information from prosecution entities on-time, or from unfamiliarity with policy requirements. We also noted that there were several opportunities for APD Risk Management to improve their audit process, namely on 1) audit program roles, 2) user compliance review process, and 3) stakeholder communication. APD’s ALPR program is generally aligned with peer police departments. Most peers audit their ALPR programs, are governed by their General Orders, and assign someone at the Lieutenant-level to run the program. APD audits their program more frequently and has more frequent training than peers. Austin also has the shortest data retention of assessed peers at seven days. The City’s contract with the ALPR vendor, Flock Safety, may leave motorist data open to unintended use. The contract’s language in some sections is unclear and lacks definition of key phrases. This may allow Flock Safety to retain some elements of scan data beyond the seven-day deletion requirement and then share them with outside law enforcement agencies …
