Item 65 No final action

Discuss legal issues related to Cunningham et al. v. City of Austin et al., D-1-GN-26-002152, in the 261st District Court in Travis County, Texas concerning the City’s transportation user fee. (Private consultation with legal counsel - Section 551.071 of the Government Code).

Council heads behind closed doors with the city's lawyers to talk through Cunningham et al. v. City of Austin, a lawsuit filed in Travis County's 261st District Court over Austin's transportation user fee. Because it's a private legal consultation under the Texas Open Meetings Act, the public won't be in the room — but the outcome could shape how the city handles a fee that touches local transportation funding.
