Agenda Item

Discuss, consider and take appropriate action on appointing Commissioner Cynthia Long as the Williamson County representative on the Regional Affordability Committee.

Background

On January 29, 2015, the Austin City Council approved an ordinance authorizing and approving creation of a Regional Affordability Committee to provide expanded opportunity for transparency, public input, and collaboration between taxing jurisdictions to improve how we serve our community.

The committee’s task is to discuss and solicit public feedback on potential bond elections, opportunities to strengthen partnerships for improved service delivery and to eliminate duplication of services, assess factors impacting the cost of living, and other topics useful for maintaining and promoting affordability.

We are inviting the following governmental entities to join Austin leaders for this discussion:

• Travis County (2 appointees) and Williamson County (1 appointee)
• School Districts - Austin (2), Del Valle (1), Pflugerville (1), Round Rock (1), and Leander (1)
• Austin Community College (1)
• Capital Metropolitan Transportation Authority (1)
• Central Health District (1)
