Approve a resolution authorizing negotiation and execution of an advance funding agreement with the Texas Department of Transportation for the use of federal earmark funding from Congressman Gregorio Casar's Office in the amount of $4,116,279, as construction reimbursement for the Longhorn Dam Multimodal Improvements Fiscal Year 2024 Community Project, for a total estimated project cost of $6,185,729, with the City's share of the cost estimated to be $2,053,262 plus any cost overruns. Funding: $4,116,279 is available in the Capital Budget of Austin Transportation and Public Works; $2,053,262 for the City's share of the cost is available in the Capital Budget of Austin Transportation and Public Works from the 2018 and 2020 Mobility Bonds.

This greenlights an agreement with TxDOT to tap a $4,116,279 federal earmark secured by Congressman Gregorio Casar to help pay for the Longhorn Dam Multimodal Improvements project. The improvements aim to make that crossing work better for more ways of getting around, and the federal money covers a big chunk of the estimated $6,185,729 total cost. Austin's share comes to about $2,053,262 — drawn from the 2018 and 2020 Mobility Bonds — plus any cost overruns.
