The Austin Neighborhoods Council General Membership meeting will be this coming Wednesday, August 24th at 721 Barton Springs Road (Austin Energy Building- parking is available) from 7- 9 PM; Meet and Greet starts at 6:30 PM.

We have a great program for this month; to top the marquee is that topic that everyone is curious about- “Go Big”- the Mobility Bonds. We will have a pro/con panel discussion starring Jim Wick, Ted Siff, Mike Levy and Roger Falk with Ben Wear from the Austin American Statesman, presiding. Introductory presentations are next in the queue from the Capital Planning Office with Director Mike Trimble who will talk about bond development, and then drilling down to the specifics, Moses Garcia from the Bond Oversight Commission will hold forth.

After those “fireworks,” Assistant City Manager Bert Lumbreras and Rodney Gonzales, the new director of the Development Services Department, will update us about the role of the City’s bureaucracy. Susan Moffat, Kevin Wier, and Patricia King will talk about their experiences on the CodeNEXT Advisory Committee (note that there are 2 ANC representatives on the CAG- how cool is that!). As customary following the CAG members, Jim Duncan the Chair of the CAG will give a CodeNEXT Update.

Interspersed in the program there will present the 2 ANC resolutions up for a vote sponsored by ANC VP2, David King: ANC Resolution for a Department of Neighborhoods and ANC’s Resolution on Affordable Housing- be sure to consult with your neighborhood before the vote on these resolutions. Even though the Texas weather has been sweltering as the summer winds down, these topics will heat up the room on Wednesday night with cool heads prevailing!

Dear ANC Member Representatives,

It is that time again- the ANC General Membership will meet this coming Wednesday, July 27 at 7-9 PM, 721 Barton Springs Road. As usual, we have a sizzling program planned for you!  In order to promote “healing” within our community and nationwide, our first speaker, Saundra Kirk will give a talk entitled, “Embracing America’s Melting Pot.” With “Back to School” just around the corner, Paul Cruz, the Superintendent of AUstin Independent School District will give us an update on AISD. Greg Guernsey from the City’s Planning and Zoning Department will also be there with an update on CodeNEXT, especially important with so many CodeNEXT staff members who have taken jobs elsewhere.

We have the great fortune to have Bill Aleshire, well-known in the community as a Government Transparency Activist, to speak about government transparency. ANC Member,James Bilodeau, will present an internal ANC Executive Committee project/product, the ANC Scorecard that rates all of the Council Members and Mayor for their voting records (this is particularly important since the City does not have an electronic document with these votes available!). Well-known attorney, Fred Lewis, will give his perspective on the CodeNEXT Affordability Prescription Paper, and Our CAG (Citizen’s Advisory Group for CodeNEXT) member of the month will be Lauren Ice, an attorney for SOS with environmental expertise.

I look forward to seeing all of you at the July ANC General Membership Meeting on Wednesday, July 27! Our complete agenda will be posted on our website.

Best,

Mary Ingle
