Commission approves minutes and consent agenda, tables annual report for July 29 discussion

The Austin Water and Wastewater Commission approved the May 20 meeting minutes and the consent agenda (items 2–8 and 11–13) by unanimous vote and then moved into substantive items.

The commission tabled item 14, the Water and Wastewater Commission’s annual report, until the July 29 special meeting because the chair said the report was not yet complete and needed more time to finish. “I do wanna table that until next meeting, because I haven't had sufficient time to complete that report,” the chair said.

Commissioners raised planning and information requests for the July 29 meeting: Commissioner Wollstonecraft Ortiz asked that the special meeting include discussion of capital projects and any changes to the capital improvement plan, staffing additions for the next fiscal year, and a code book to explain budget spreadsheet columns. A staff member (Dan) and commissioners also requested an updated Austin Water organizational chart and clearer access to capital contracting awards and bidder information via City of Austin Finance Online.

Administrative notes: Commissioner Trillie thanked staff members for community outreach support; the chair adjourned the meeting at 6:03 p.m.
