To: From: Zero Waste Advisory Commission Ken Snipes Director Austin Resource Recovery Date: January 13th 2021 Subject: Director’s Monthly Report to the Zero Waste Advisory Commission Roosevelt Gardens Asbestos Abatement Brownfields Project Austin Brownfields Revitalization Office (ABRO) performed an asbestos survey, confirming the existing building needed abatement. Project Transitions, a nonprofit providing affordable, supportive housing and hospice care for low-income people with HIV and AIDS in Austin, applied for a $100,000 sub-grant from the Brownfields Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) to remove the asbestos, as required by state regulations. The cleanup was completed, all required materials submitted and approved, and repayment of the invoices, totaling $100,000 is requested. After abatement and demolition, Project Transitions will build a new facility, providing additional, updated affordable units to residents, helping meet the City’s affordable housing goals, and providing a healthier environment by safely removing hazardous materials. This project also supported Project Transitions’ affordable housing funding application through City of Austin Neighborhood Housing and Community ARR Budget ARR Staff scheduled the following business planning work sessions to prepare for Fiscal Year 2022 budget: •Planning Work Session, Day One (December 14th, 2020): Discussion of Executive Team direction to guide the next five years of ARR’s budget, including potential program expansion and staffing. •Planning Work Session, Day Two (January 8th, 2021): Targeted group discussion of topics to include current and potential capital projects (vehicles, equipment, facilities), high-level needs, and potential issues that hinder the Department from reaching goals and performance metrics.
