Item 22 — Wednesday, August 12, 2026
In plain language — from agenda source text
This resolution directs the City Manager to take a closer look at the social services contracts slated for cuts or elimination in the proposed 2026-2027 budget, and to come back with recommendations. It matters because those contracts fund programs many Austinites rely on, and this step could shape whether they stick around.
Current official agenda wording
Approve a resolution directing the City Manager to evaluate and develop recommendations for the social services contracts that are proposed for reductions or elimination as part of the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 budget.
