12:00 PM -Public Communication: General

Timothy Higgins- My community of about 400 houses have had constant issues with recycling company, located at 7400 FM 969, Break It Down Recycling has been causing bad odor from rotting compost and loud noises during quiet hours.

Deborah Morgan- Problems with flooding near an east side neighborhood where there is also a compost facility.

Vonee Reneau- The industrial composting facility (Break it Down) contiguous to our neighborhood (Agave) . The present & future use of that site and surrounding area given its particular location.

Jenna Wedgewood- 7400 FM 969 -Zoning / Break It Down – commercial composting nuisance next to residential communities preventing tax paying homeowners from basic use of their properties.

Al D’Andrea- 1. Serious existing staffing issues at the City of Austin Permit Center are causing significant delays in issuance of trade contractor construction permits. The Permit Center is experiencing serious worker shortages, and it can take upwards of a year to train new” staff members.

Legally, trade contractors are not allowed by the City of Austin to perform work requiring a permit without one. Many local air conditioning contractors perform the bulk of their work in the warmer months, so there is concern that the current delays will become even worse during the months ahead.

The Austin chapter of the Air Conditioning Contractors of America wrote a letter to the mayor and council members on March 17th, 2022 asking for help with this matter. What is the City’s plan to address this important issue that affects local businesses and property owners?

2. The dangerous situation created by the City of Austin Building Official’s general failure to enforce closure of trade construction permits. There are over 12,000 residential trade change out permits that have been left to expire by trade contractors to which the City of Austin Building Official has turned a blind eye. IN FY ’21 alone, more than 1,300 residential electrical, mechanical, and plumbing trade change out permits expired.

The City of Austin inspection department will jump up and down over a single permit yet there is complete silence when the issue of 12,000 expired permits is raised, which has been done repeatedly over the past several years. Proper inspection of trade contractor work when major appliances are replaced –which generally involve potentially dangerous natural gas, combustion byproducts, and high-voltage electric –protects the safety of adults, children, and pets and should be a priority for city management.

Why are trade contractors who chronically allow their permits to expire -without an inspection – allowed to continue to obtain more trade permits and otherwise held to account?

Rick Krivoniak- Request the City Council waive the Board of Adjustment fees for either the Windsor Park Neighborhood Plan Contact Team OR the Windsor Park Neighborhood Association for the appeal of an approval of a VMU site plan in Windsor Park.

Laura N- Regarding the industrial composting facility (Break It Down) that is next to our neighborhood (Agave).

The present and future use of that site and the surrounding area given its location.

Ethan Smith -What makes Austin Austin?

Alisa Hernandez- Citizen safety/Emergency safety

Reneishia Dogan- Vehicle damage claims against the city, its contractors, and any other covered entity. My vehicle was damaged and the city is refusing to pay for it though it was caused as a direct result of a city of Austin contractor’s negligence
