Discussion on Public Safety Sections of the Special Events Ordinance APD Special Event Sergeant Mike Jones briefed the Task Force on an item on the February 17, 2022 council agenda that would allow APD to contract with Code4, a third party vendor, to hire other public safety agencies to help staff city and city‐sponsored special events. Following several questions from Chair Russell on the matter, Sergeant Jones clarified that these agencies will follow their respective policies and protocols, but APD would ultimately retain overall authority as the lead agency and would coordinate with the supervisors from other agencies. He added that private events can currently contract with Code4. Austin Fire Department (AFD) Chair Russell inquired whether a third‐party agreement might be feasible for AFD. Chief Prior responded that the current AFD staffing level does not require supplementation because they have significantly fewer individuals on site at special events compared to APD, but did raise the issue of needing additional special event review personnel in the future. Austin‐Travis County EMS (ATCEMS) Chair Russel asked whether staffing is a concern for ATCEMS. Commander Parker explained that ATCEMS has a history of partnering with outside healthcare providers.

Chief Prior suggested that the ordinance could be revised to allow AFD to enter into third‐party agreements. The Task Force asked Mr. Summers to record two recommendations for future consideration. 1) Council …
