MEMORANDUM To: From: Date: Mayor and City Council T.C. Broadnax, City Manager December 17, 2025 Subject: Social Services Funding Update The purpose of this memorandum is to provide information to the Mayor and City Council about the social services contract budget. During the Fiscal Year 2026 Budget Process and Adoption, a re- allocation of social services was approved. Director Kerri Lang informed Mayor and City Council that we would need to reduce the social services budget in Economic Development, Municipal Court/Community Court, and Public Health by 10% and re-allocate Homeless Strategies and Operations by 4%. As part of this adjustment, limited resources will be aligned with Homeless Strategies and Operations to address immediate operational requirements, while maintaining a balanced and coordinated approach across the full continuum of social service investments. The total General Fund social services contract budget for FY26 is $74.2M. The total reallocation of social services contracts for FY26 is $5,277,003. Below is the breakdown by department: Department Name Economic Development Homeless Strategies & Operations Municipal Court/Austin Community Court Public Health Total Amount Reduced/Reallocated $451,859 $1,457,200 $629,565 $2,738,379 $5,277,003 The attached Social Services Contract List shows each department’s contract list including vendor, program/project name, the original funding amount, reduced funding amount, and the new contract amount. As we start the process for the FY27 Budget Process, we anticipate a $16.8 million reduction to the social services contract budget. In addition to the contracts included in the social services contracts budget, we will conduct an inventory of all contracts and grants across all departments that provide social or community Date: Subject: December 17, 2025 Social Services Funding Update services and are funded by departments through their operating budget. Our goal is to: • Have a centralized record of all City funding that supports social and community services in the City of Austin. • Determine if we have any duplication of service(s) and/or can realize efficiencies by merging similar agreements. • Review the performance measures and return on investments. • Identify services that can be funded by other taxing entities and partners.

TO: FROM: DATE: MEMORANDUM Airport Advisory Commissioners Rajeev Thomas, Chief Financial Officer, Austin Aviation January 14, 2026 SUBJECT: Austin-Bergstrom International Airport Financial Update November 2025 Financial Results Passenger and aircraft activity in November 2025 increased compared to the prior year because of growth in air service. Daily departures grew 7% to 256 in November 2025, continuing the prior month’s trend, driven by growth from Delta, Southwest, and Frontier. As a result, passenger traffic increased 3% and landed weights increased 6% compared to the prior year. Cargo volume decreased 9% due to adjustments in air cargo carrier strategies and a decline year over year in belly freight volume.

The increase in operating revenue is mostly driven by increased airline rates and charges in FY2026 resulting from a new rates and charges methodology in the bridge airline use and lease agreement. Airline revenue streams increased 45% due to the escalated rates and growth in aircraft activity. Non- airline revenue streams increased 10% due to strong passenger traffic and increased parking rates. Airport operating expenses declined 2% compared to November 2024 due to the timing of annual employee gainsharing payments in the prior year. Gainsharing payments were distributed in November in FY25 and in December in FY26. When adjusted to remove the gainsharing payments from the prior year, November 2025 operating expenses increased 14% because of growth in personnel cost and increased maintenance expenses. Improvement in employee vacancy rate and across the board wage adjustments drove increased personnel cost. The increase in maintenance expenses are driven by increased utilities costs, plumbing/electrical augmented staffing, and elevated preventative maintenance costs. Debt service cost increased 17% in November 2025 because a portion of the debt service cost in the prior year was offset by the application of the balance of interest earned from proceeds. Other requirements increased 6% because of …

AGENT: Keepers Land Planning (Ricca Keepers) CASE MANAGER: Jonathan Tomko (512) 974-1057, jonathan.tomko@austintexas.gov STAFF RECOMMEDATION: Staff does not recommend granting commercial-liquor sales-conditional overlay- neighborhood plan CS-1-CO-NP combining planning district. For more information see the basis or recommendation section below. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: January 13, 2026: Case is scheduled to be heard by Planning Commission. CITY COUNCIL ACTION: TBD ORDINANCE NUMBER: TBD ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is currently a convenience store of approximately 1,750 square feet and a single-family home of approximately 1,200 square feet. To the north, across Cesar Chavez Street is an office/retail use in a single-family home and a single-family home. To the east, across Chicon Street is a small store and a 3-story commercial strip center. To the south, across the alley is a single-family home with an accessory dwelling unit.

The site is also approximately 1,000 feet from the Plaza Saltillo Imagine Austin Activity Center. 08 C14-2025-0080 - 1811 East Cesar Chavez; District 11 of 12 BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: Rezoning should not contribute to the over zoning of the area This request would permit the sale of commercial liquor sales, which is incompatible with residential environments.

Zoning should promote a transition between adjacent and nearby zoning districts, land uses, and development intensities. Currently there is a single-family home and an alley that serve as …
