Amendments for March 23rd, 2023 Council Meeting

Post by Mackenzie Kelly »

Colleagues,

I intend on bringing forward three amendments to items during the March 23rd, 2023 council meeting.

The first is for item 57 which recommends including the City of Austin Code Department as one of the parties included when the City Manager is working with stakeholders on the creation of the technical manuals.

The second amendment is for item 58 and adds stakeholder input and a fiscal impact for when the City Manager initiates the creation of the pilot program.

Third, and finally, is an amendment to item 60 which requests regular updates to the Public Safety Committee regarding the ongoing upkeep, condition, and any unmet needs for backup generators at AFD and EMS stations.

I had an additional amendment to item 60 that does not fit the posting language but I feel needs to be reviewed. It was my understanding that during the recent ice storm, the North APD substation at Lamplight Village was also without power. While I know I can not add this as part of the item before us this week, I have spoken with the Assistant City Manager over public safety and expressed my concern about addressing generators at APD as well.

Thank you for taking into account these suggested amendments for your resolutions. I am eagerly anticipating the opportunity to collaborate with you on Thursday and tackle them together.

Warm Regards,

Colleagues,

I've incorporated CM Kelly's proposed amendment and added a minor change to align with CM Ryan Alter's Item 84 into a version 2 of my Item 58 for your consideration:
