12/19/24 City Council Agenda Item 6 - Resolution 24-2106 question

[Norma Owen]

Councilor Saum, for Item 6, Section 2, Item 1 of the resolution, should the language be broader than “within 50 miles of Austin”? Should Item 1 reflect HB 1344 “municipality located not more than 50 miles from an area of high growth.” Or, is the language of "50 miles of Austin" appropriate because of the emphasis on CapMetro Reform? Thank you for bringing this item forward.

 

[Shane Saum]

Thank you Councilor Owen, it may be unnecessary to even get that specific. All we needed was a resolution stating we support the legislative efforts so our state representatives can say they have local support to file the bills..

 

[Adam Benefield]

Good work on this Councilor Saum. What you've done for Lago is ground breaking.
