Approve a resolution directing the City Manager to identify siting options for the equitable geographic distribution of future City-owned gas peaker units and report back to Council.

This resolution asks the City Manager to scout out where future City-owned gas peaker plants could go, with an eye toward spreading them out fairly across Austin's neighborhoods rather than clustering them in certain areas. Peaker units are power plants that fire up during periods of high electricity demand, so where they land matters for the communities living nearby. The City Manager would then report findings back to Council.
