Item 30 Amendments

Post by Louisa Brinsmade »

On behalf of CM Pool, here are the amendments vetted by city legal staff that she is suggesting for Item 30, embedded here and as a motion sheet: http://assets.austintexas.gov/austincou ... 114427.pdf

Due to time constraints, legal staff suggested we use the Motion Sheet format instead of revising the resolution and creating a new version.


AMENDMENT NO. 1: ADD THE FOLLOWING NEW “BE IT RESOLVED” SECTION TO BEGIN AT LINE 201 OF THE RESOLUTION (VERSION 2):

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED:

Prior to presenting any proposed amendments to the Interlocal Agreement to the Council for approval based on this resolution, the City Manager shall provide Council with a financial analysis showing the cost to the City of each proposed amendment.



AMENDMENT NO. 2: THE FIRST SENTENCE OF THE “BE IT RESOLVED” SECTION OF THE RESOLUTION (VERSION 2) BEGINNING AT LINE 174 IS AMENDED TO READ AS FOLLOWS:

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED:

The City Manager is directed to engage with Travis County through the working group process described in the Interlocal Agreement, and with the “Who’s in Jail and Why?” working group created by the Travis County Commissioners Court with City participation, with the goal of amending the Interlocal Agreement to create administrative procedures and a physical environment for the magistration process that enhances the opportunity for Municipal Court Judges acting as magistrates to: (1) release arrested persons on personal bond whenever the magistrate determines it appropriate under the law and the facts; and (2) impose the least-restrictive pretrial conditions necessary to reasonably assure public safety and prevent flight from prosecution when release on personal bond is not appropriate.
