  The City wants to lock in two contracts — with Southern Tire Mart and Youngblood Automotive & Tire — to handle tire repair and replacement for Austin's fleet of city vehicles and equipment. Keeping everything from fire trucks to maintenance rigs rolling on safe tires is the kind of unglamorous-but-essential work that keeps city services running. The deals run an initial two years with three possible one-year extensions, for a total not to exceed $13,490,270, with $1,103,356 available now in the Fleet Mobility Services budget and the rest contingent on future funding.

Eminent domain lets the city force a sale when negotiations stall, so this matters to anyone watching how Austin secures land for utility work. The property is appraised at $285,000, with that amount available in Austin Water's Capital Budget, though the final price could rise based on updated appraisals or a court judgment.

Funding: This item has no fiscal impact.

  Council is holding a public hearing on a major rewrite of downtown density rules, creating two new bonus zoning districts—DDB400 and DDB850—that let developers build taller and tweak site standards in exchange for affordable housing and other community benefits. The changes would also adjust Rainey Street's rules and shrink the eligibility area for the existing Downtown Density Bonus Program, dropping certain properties roughly west of I-35, east of Nueces, north of Lady Bird Lake, and south of East 11th Street.

  Conduct a public hearing and consider a resolution related to an application by Roers Austin Apartments Owner V LP, or an affiliated entity, for 4% Non-Competitive Housing Tax Credits for the construction of a multifamily development to be financed through the private activity bond program and to be known as Decker Lane Apartments, located at or near 7400 Decker Lane, Austin, Texas 78724. Funding: Approving this resolution does not constitute any obligation of the City with respect to funding. This resolution will support the applicant's application for federal Housing Tax Credits.

  This is a public hearing on a resolution backing a developer's bid for federal 4% housing tax credits to build a new multifamily complex called Decker Lane Apartments out at 7400 Decker Lane in East Austin. The credits and private activity bond financing help fund affordable housing, so the city's support could help the project pencil out. Worth noting: the resolution itself doesn't commit any city money — it just signals support for the applicant's federal application.

The financing would run through the private activity bond program and federal tax credits — and a yes vote here is a show of support for the application, not a funding commitment from the City.

Staff Recommendation and Planning Commission Recommendation: To grant downtown density bonus 400 (DDB400) combining district zoning. Applicant: City of Austin.

  The city wants to rezone about 208 acres of downtown — roughly the area west of I-35, east of Nueces, north of Lady Bird Lake, and south of East 11th Street — to add a downtown density bonus 400 (DDB400) combining district. Density bonus programs let developers build taller or denser in exchange for community benefits, so this could shape how much new development downtown can pack in.

  Approve a resolution directing the City Manager to develop a potential bond package and related ordinances calling for a November 2026 bond election and posting these items for Council consideration and action on the July 23, 2026, council meeting agenda; and report back to Council on additional information and recommendations on other possible projects and funding mechanisms.

  Council is asking the City Manager to start putting together a potential bond package and the related ordinances that would call for a November 2026 bond election, with those items teed up for Council to consider on the July 23, 2026 agenda. Bonds are how Austin borrows money to pay for big-ticket projects, so this resolution sets the table for what voters could be asked to fund this fall. The City Manager would also report back with recommendations on other possible projects and ways to pay for them.

  "The vote passes with two no votes, the mayor and council member duchen and council member Laine abstaining on the vote. So the motion passes"

  Approve a resolution directing the City Manager to develop of a policy proposal for limiting emissions from City-owned gas peaker units and report back to Council.

  This resolution asks the City Manager to draft a policy for cutting emissions from Austin's City-owned gas peaker units — the backup power plants that fire up during periods of high electricity demand — and then report back to Council. It's an early step rather than a final decision, but it signals where the city may be headed on cleaning up its own power generation. Watch for the report to spell out what limiting those emissions would actually involve.

  Approve a resolution directing the City Manager to develop a policy proposal to limit and mitigate impacts to areas negatively impacted by gas peaker units and other utility energy generation, establish a program to benefit residents negatively impacted by the location of past and future fossil fuel generation facilities, and report back to Council.

  This resolution asks the City Manager to draft a policy aimed at limiting and softening the impacts of gas peaker plants and other utility energy generation on the neighborhoods that live alongside them. It also calls for a program to benefit residents who've been affected by where past and future fossil fuel generation facilities are sited, with a report back to Council. For folks living near these facilities, it's a first step toward addressing long-standing concerns about their footprint.

  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.

It's a direction to study and report, not a final program change.

  The Council is taking up proposed changes to the City's financial policies for fiscal year 2026-2027, covering how Austin handles revenue, spending, and debt — including bonds. These ground rules shape how the city's money gets raised and spent, so tweaks here can ripple across budgets and services down the line. This is a discussion item with possible action, meaning the Council could move on the changes at this meeting.

  The Council is holding a public hearing on whether to pull 1404 East Riverside Drive out of the East Riverside Corridor Regulating Plan and redraw the plan's boundary to match. The Regulating Plan sets the specific zoning and development rules for that stretch of East Riverside, so removing this property changes which rules apply to it going forward. The item has no fiscal impact.

  This is a rezoning request for a property out on the East U.S. 290 service road, in the Walnut Creek watershed.

The case is notable because the Historic Landmark Commission is pushing for the designation while the property owner, Bubble Bee LP, is opposed — meaning Council is weighing landmark protection against the owner's wishes. Staff, the Historic Landmark Commission, and the Planning Commission all recommend approval.
