Travis County Voter Approved Child Care and Out of School Time Fund Presentation to the Early Childhood Council May 14, 2025 Background On November 5, 2024, Travis County voters approved Prop A. By approving Prop A, Travis County residents approved a 2.5 cent tax rate increase per $100 valuation on property taxes. This will generate approximately $75 million. The money from these property taxes will be collected in a special fund. This fund will support programs in Travis County that: • Increase access to affordable and high-quality child care and out of school time programs; • Increase capacity and strengthen the quality of child care and out of school time programs; and • Support opportunities for parents to work, participate in job training, and further their education. Overview of Strategies These four strategies will serve as a baseline for expanding and strengthening child care and afterschool and summer programming in Travis County. Strategy 1: Expand slots for infants/toddlers (ages 0-3) and for afterschool and summer programming (PreK-12th grade) Strategy 2: Expand non-traditional hour care Strategy 3: Build quality and capacity Strategy 4: Build a Business Government Alliance for leveraging business contributions and matching public funds to reduce employee child care costs Transition Plan • Staffing: Hiring staff at Health and Human Services and in other County Departments • Community Engagement Activities: Sharing an update and gathering community insight and feedback • Online survey • Targeted community input sessions stakeholder groups • Three in-person community listening sessions and one online zoom session. • Community Advisory Council: Planning for a community advisory committee composed of community members and child care and out of school time stakeholders. Application process - Summer 2025. • Short term investments: Exploring amending existing County contracts and implementing Interlocal Agreements to serve more families while planning and procurement for services is underway. Next Steps in Procuring Services • As a government entity collecting and investing public tax dollars we use a multi-step procurement process to fund services. • The process to plan and procure services within the four baseline strategies includes: • Refining initial strategy design by learning from other communities, analyzing community input, and aligning with County policies, procedures, and systems. • Seeking approval of program policies by Commissioner’s Court. • Developing scopes of work for County services. • Releasing solicitations, evaluating proposals, and negotiating new contracts. • A contracted third-party evaluator will …

James, Attorney CASE MANAGER: Marcelle Boudreaux (512-974-8094, marcelle.boudreaux@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommendation is to grant community commercial– vertical mixed use building – conditional overlay - density bonus 90 - neighborhood plan (GR-V-CO- DB90-NP) combining district zoning. The Conditional Overlay would prohibit the following uses permitted within the GR base zoning district: Automotive repair services; Custom manufacturing; Exterminating services; Service station.

On March 11, 2024, Ordinance No. 20240229-073, was enacted to create the “DB90” combining district, which amended City Code Title 25 (Land Development) to create a new zoning district for a density bonus program that grants 30 feet in height above the base zoning district, to a maximum of 90 feet, and modifies site development regulations including compatibility standards. The Conditional Overlay to establish prohibited uses was established during the Neighborhood Plan rezonings for East Oak Hill. The conditions are requested by the applicant and recommended to be incorporated into this new rezoning by Staff. The applicant proposes a mixed use development with residential use and ground floor commercial development (see summary letter attached). The granting of the -V and of the - DB90 combining districts each allows for residential use in combination with the GR base district commercial uses. The applicant’s request for the -MU combining district designation is unnecessary for their intended purpose of development. Therefore, Staff recommends GR- V-CO-DB90-NP. The DB90 requirements include that 75% of a building with frontage on a principal street to allow for pedestrian-oriented commercial or civic uses, however, the Ordinance also allows for modification to this requirement when the site abuts certain roadways. This site abuts the frontage road for US Highway 290, which is categorized as Highway - an eligible roadway type to request this modification. …
