Approve an ordinance amending the Austin Transportation and Public Works Capital Budget (Ordinance No. 20250813-005) to accept and appropriate funds from the Austin Transit Partnership in the amount of $4,000,000 in support of parkland mitigation related to Austin Light Rail, a component of Project Connect, and $200,000 for design of transportation system improvements for a total amount of $4,200,000. Funding: $4,200,000 is available from the Austin Transit Partnership. A fiscal note is attached.

This item accepts $4.2 million from the Austin Transit Partnership and folds it into the city's transportation capital budget. The money breaks down into $4 million for parkland mitigation tied to the Austin Light Rail — part of Project Connect — and $200,000 to design transportation system improvements. It's a behind-the-scenes budget move that keeps the light rail's parkland and design work funded as the project advances.
