Obtain Art in Public Places draft code amendments
Why now: The briefing on 2026-09-25 described amendments to City Code Chapter 7-2 as upcoming, responding to Resolution No. 20250306-029, and no adoption date or next step is in the record.
What to do: Get the draft Chapter 7-2 amendments and compare them with the directive in Resolution No. 20250306-029 to see whether the scope matches. Ask whether any new obligations apply to projects already in progress, since the briefing only calls the amendments upcoming.
Act before: After the next material record update
Request Art in Public Places ordinance amendment drafts
Why now: The same briefing by Morgan Messick went to the Economic Opportunity Committee on 2026-09-18 and again on 2026-09-25, and the record lists no next procedural step.
What to do: Ask Austin Arts, Culture, Music and Entertainment for the draft amendments to City Code Chapter 7-2 and compare them with what Resolution No. 20250306-029 directed. The briefing was presented twice in consecutive weeks without a stated next step, so the public may not see the text before it moves.
Act before: After the requested records are produced
