Item 51 — Thursday, September 24, 2026
In plain language — from agenda source text
This item extends Austin Public Health's agreement with Catholic Charities of Central Texas, which provides legal and counseling services to people in Austin and Travis County, by adding one 12-month extension option running through September 30, 2027. It keeps an existing safety-net service in place rather than starting something new, with funding beyond this term dependent on future budgets. The extension adds $188,872, bringing the total agreement to no more than $2,060,036, with the new money coming from the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Austin Public Health operating budget.
