WATER AND WASTEWATER COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION 20210804-D2 Seconded By: Commissioner Penn Date: August 4, 2021 Subject: Budget Committee Report Motioned By: Commissioner Michel Recommendation See Attached Report Description of Recommendation to Council See Attached Report Rationale: The Committee appreciates the opportunity to review Austin Water Utility’s FY 2018-19 (FY19) budget and provide recommendations for the Water and Wastewater Commission. The following review and recommendations are based on budget information provided by Staff and not the “official” budget document. This is due to City Management policy which restricts the release of the budget until it has been presented to Council. This delayed release does not allow the Committee sufficient time to thoroughly review the “official” document, and have recommendations posted for the Commission’s regularly scheduled August meeting. The Committee is confident that the information provided by Staff was thorough and representative of the official FY19 budget. Vote For: Lee, Penn, Michel, Musgrove, Fisher, Turrieta, Moriarty Against: Abstain: 0 Absent: 2 Attest: Liaison Blanca Madriz, W&WW Commission Liaison 7-0 0 1 of 1 WATER & WASTEWATER COMMISSION BUDGET COMMITTEE REPORT Overview A P P R O V E D : A u g u s t 4 , 2 0 2 1 The Committee appreciates the opportunity to review Austin Water Utility’s FY 2021-2022 (FY22) budget material and provide the following summary to the Water and Wastewater Commission. Budget Committee Members: Susan Turrieta, Chair Travis Michel, Vice Chair Grant Fisher William Moriarty Jesse Penn Budget Review Executive Summary Austin Water Assistant Director of Financial Services, Joseph Gonzales and staff presented an FY 2020-2021 (FY 21) budget vs. actual update and an overview of 5-year forecast and FY 2021-2022 (FY 22) Proposed Budget, including revenue and rate projections, transfers, program requirements, debt service requirements, Austin Water’s 5-year CIP spending plan and update on Winter Storm Uri financial impact. As a recap of the FY21 budget, the planned FY 21 debt defeasance was postponed until early FY 22 due to market conditions. As a result, related capital recovery transfers to cover the debt defeasance were also postponed. In addition, there was a one-time $5,000,000 transfer to the customer assistance program (CAP), and a 10% CAP rate reduction approved in April 2020 continued in FY 21 and will be maintained in FY22. Austin Water has not proposed water or wastewater rate increase for FY22. The total requirements for FY22 have an increase over FY21 of $32.7M …

Coordination of partnering or adjacent projects are on-going. (connection to AE District Cooling, Waterloo Greenway - Creek Delta, ATD – Red River Extension, TTF) FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS - ESB-MACC Phase 2 1. Q: Has a Master Plan been completed for ESB-MACC? The Austin City Council adopted the Emma S. Barrientos Mexican American Cultural Center (ESB-MACC) Master Plan on May 24, 2018. This plan is now referred to as the 2018 Facility Expansion Plan and presents design recommendations to better meet the current and future needs of the center. The Plan incorporated current needs and consideration of the evolving neighborhood. This project identifies the priority items for Phase 2. Future phases will address the remaining items not constructed in this project, such as a performance theater. 2. Q: What are the priorities identified in this 2018 Facility Expansion Plan? The current ESB-MACC facility has insufficient space to host the numerous community activities available or desired; staff and storage areas are inadequate in providing support. The existing space is in need of updates and expansion to better meet present and future needs. The connectivity to the Ann Richards and Roy Butler Hike and Bike Trails, Lady Bird Lake, pedestrian walkways, and surrounding neighborhoods need to be improved to activate the plaza and draw interest to the facility. Based on information received from the public, the 10 most important stakeholder issues identified in the 2018 Plan were: • More classrooms and studios • Access and view to Lady …

ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2021-0105 – Wynne Lane Rezoning ZONING FROM: SF-2 ADDRESS: 7702 Wynne Lane PROPERTY OWNER: R. Scott Schaefer DISTRICT: 5 TO: SF-3 SITE AREA: 0.42 acres (18,295 square feet) AGENT: Thrower Design, LLC (Victoria Haase) CASE MANAGER: Wendy Rhoades (512-974-7719, wendy.rhoades@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommendation is to grant family residence (SF-3) district zoning. For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: August 3, 2021: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: September 3, 2021: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: None at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject lot is within the Brownleaf Estates subdivision and contains a single family residence. Brownleaf Estates and Greenleaf Estates, the adjacent subdivision to the south, are manufactured home subdivisions and were zoned mobile home residence (MH) district in the mid-1980s. Some of the lots contain one or more manufactured homes, and other lots have single family residence or two-family residence uses. Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map), A-1 (Aerial Exhibit) and B (Recorded Plat). The Applicant has requested family residence (SF-3) district zoning in order to build an accessory dwelling unit on the west portion of the property. The existing residence would be retained. 1 of 10B-2 C14-2021-0105 Page 2 BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. The family residence (SF-3) district is the designation for a moderate density single-family residential use and a duplex use on a lot that is a minimum of 5,750 square feet. An SF-3 district designation may be applied to a use in an existing single-family neighborhood with moderate sized lots or to new development of family housing on lots that are 5,750 square feet or more. A duplex use that is designated in an SF-3 district is subject to development standards that maintain single-family neighborhood characteristics. 2. Zoning changes should promote compatibility with adjacent and nearby uses. Staff supports the Applicant’s request because the property is located in an area that is developed with a mixture of manufactured homes, single family residences and two-family residences. The SF-3 zoning district would be compatible and consistent with the surrounding uses, and there are several existing SF-2 and SF-3 zoned properties located to the north, south and east that are currently developed with single family residential uses. In addition, many of the manufactured homes located along Wynne …

(Amanda Morrow) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The staff’s recommendation is to grant LI-PDA, Limited Industrial Planned Development Area District zoning, to change a condition of zoning. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: July July 20, 2021: Approved staff's request for postponement to August 3, 2021 by consent (9-0, J. Kiolbassa and E. Ray-absent ); H. Smith-1st, C. Acosta-2nd. August 3, 2021 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: August 26, 2021 ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 169B-4 2 ISSUES: In this rezoning request, the applicant is asking to take a 3.858 acre portion of land out of the Dell-Parmer North Development LI-PDA zoned property (approved through Ordinance No. 980430-P – please see Exhibit D) between Parmer Lane and Howard Lane and move it to the Parmer Center Development (“Tech Ridge”) LI-PDA zoned property (approved through Ordinance No. 990602-92 – please see Exhibit E) to the northwest. In addition, the applicant would like to remove the density limitation for multi-family housing for this property (a portion of Lot 3, Block "A", Tech Ridge Section 2 and a portion of Lot 2B, Resubdivision of Lot 2, Block "A", Tech Ridge Section 2) in the Parmer Center PDA (please see Applicant’s Request Letter – Exhibit C). This request can be handled as one zoning case as long as the removal of land from the Dell- Parmer North Development PDA does not affect the site development regulations or impact a Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA) for the Dell PDA. After reading the Parmer Center Development PDA and the Dell-Parmer North Development PDA ordinances/restrictive covenant, the staff understands that the Dell-Parmer North Development PDA does not have a TIA. Therefore, the removal of the property from the Dell LI-PDA zoning does not negatively impact that PDA agreement. Please see the TIA Compliance Letter that was submitted to ATD for review (please see Exhibit F). CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is currently an undeveloped 13.510-acre parcel located at the northwest corner of McCallum Pass and Center Lake Drive. The land surrounding this site to the north, south, east and west is zoned LI-PDA. The lot to the east contains a …
