Art in Public Places Ordinance Update Briefing (26-2027)
Showing all 2 actions. Filter by: , .
Obtain draft Art in Public Places code amendments before adoption
Applies if: Your clients work on or contract for projects subject to Chapter 7-2
Why now: Two committee briefings (2026-09-18 and 2026-09-25) describe 'upcoming amendments' to Chapter 7-2 responding to Resolution No. 20250306-029, but no outcome or next procedural step is recorded.
What to do: Get the draft amendments to City Code Chapter 7-2 and compare them against the current text to see which obligations on city-funded projects change. The briefing record does not say what changes, so clients cannot assess compliance exposure yet.
Act before: After the next material record update
Request Art in Public Places ordinance amendment drafts and response
Applies if: You cover city arts funding, public art, or capital projects
Why now: The Economic Opportunity Committee received the same briefing on 2026-09-18 and 2026-09-25 from Morgan Messick, both with no outcome recorded, and no next step is listed for the 'upcoming amendments' to City Code Chapter 7-2 under Resolution No. 20250306-029.
What to do: Ask Austin Arts, Culture, Music and Entertainment for the draft Chapter 7-2 amendments and its written response to the Council resolution. Without the drafts, the public cannot tell what the briefings actually previewed or which changes are coming.
Act before: After the requested records are produced
Economic Opportunity Committee Future Agenda Planning (26-2028)
Showing all 1 action. Filter by: .
Ask why committee agenda planning item keeps recurring without outcomes
Why now: The Economic Opportunity Committee listed 'Identify items to discuss at future meetings' on 2026-09-18 and again on 2026-09-25, both with no outcome recorded, and the next step is unknown.
What to do: Request the committee's agenda-planning notes, member requests, and any list of topics proposed for future meetings. The item has appeared on consecutive weeks with no recorded outcome, so the public cannot see which topics were raised or by whom.
Act before: After the requested records are produced
