Austin's Big Moves: Arts, Health, Growth
Here are the key takeaways from the September 29, 1988 Austin City agenda:
Public Health and Energy Investment:
Increased funding was approved for AIDS prevention and sexually transmitted disease programs. Separately, $41 million from a settlement fund was transferred to support the major South Texas Project.Urban Growth and Housing:
A significant rental rehabilitation program was expanded to include six additional neighborhoods. Numerous zoning changes were enacted, often with specific conditions on density, height, and land use, alongside approvals for major highway expansion projects.Community and Cultural Support:
Over $887,000 was allocated from the Cultural Arts Fund to benefit various local arts organizations and support the City's 150th-anniversary celebration. Grants for community services—including tenant assistance, urban league initiatives, and accessibility for disabled individuals—were also approved, along with continued funding for public access television.Policy Shifts and Future Planning:
A policy change was made to eliminate certain conservation rebates and incentives within the Resource Management Operating Budget. The City also initiated planning for a future convention center by establishing a land exchange negotiating committee.
