Item 3 Results pendingunofficial
In plain language — from the agenda backup
This is a public hearing on a proposed change to the drainage charge that helps fund Austin's Watershed Protection work, folded into the proposed 2026-2027 budget. The drainage charge shows up on Austin utility bills, so a rate change touches what residents and businesses pay to support flood control and water quality efforts around town.
The official agenda language
Conduct a public hearing and consider a proposed drainage charge rate change for Austin Watershed Protection as part of the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 proposed budget.
