City of Austin Council Message Board

Dear Colleagues,

I would like to offer the following amendment to item 111.

Amend the resolution by adding the below:
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED
In implementing the finalized spending framework, the City Manager is directed to deploy the various funding sources in a manner that reserves the most flexible funding sources for purposes that may not fit within the guidelines of more restrictive funds.

I am a co-sponsor on this item and Mayor Adler has indicated that he sees this as a friendly amendment and will incorporate it in a revised version appearing shortly.

Regards,
Alison Alter

Thank you, CM Alter, for your amendment. I appreciate that you raised this issue for the Council at our work session and I support including this language into the resolution. I have prepared a revised version of the IFC that includes this amendment as well as the suggested edits outlined at work session by CM Casar, which I also support:
