  Approve appointments and certain related waivers to boards and commissions, to Council committees and other intergovernmental bodies, and to public facility corporations; removal and replacement of members; and amendments to board and commission bylaws.

It's easy to skim past, but these are the volunteer bodies that vet zoning cases, review budgets, and advise Council on everything from parks to public safety, so who sits in those chairs shapes the recommendations Council hears. The item also covers certain waivers tied to those appointments.

  Approve a resolution directing the City Manager to perform an analysis of appropriate mechanisms to support development and infrastructure investment within the Lakeline Station area (Station Area), generally bounded by West Parmer Lane, U.S. Highway 183, State Highway 45, and Lakeline Boulevard, to evaluate infrastructure investment, redevelopment and economic development and co-location opportunities for public services and civic spaces within the Station Area, and prioritize a partnership strategy for development and implementation.

  This resolution asks the City Manager to study how Austin could support development and infrastructure around the Lakeline Station area in far Northwest Austin — the pocket framed by West Parmer Lane, U.S. 183, SH 45 and Lakeline Boulevard. The analysis would look at infrastructure investment, redevelopment and economic development, along with chances to co-locate public services and civic spaces near the rail station, and would rank partnership strategies for getting it done. It's a planning step, not a construction commitment, but it shapes what a transit-adjacent slice of the city looks like in the years ahead.

  Conduct a public hearing in accordance with Texas Parks and Wildlife Code Chapter 26 and consider a resolution authorizing a change in use of dedicated parkland, known as Sir Swante Palm Neighborhood Park, to permanently use approximately 9,852 square feet of parkland and temporarily use approximately 2,585 square feet of parkland in order to construct, operate, maintain, and repair Austin Water water and wastewater lines.
