TipSheet: Austin City Council, 2.29.24 - Austin Monitor
Briefly

An initiative to get rid of extra library fees for nonresident patrons could become law today. In addition, Council will look at a bunch of new rules for city parks. The rules prohibit things like unsanctioned geocaching, jumping from bridges, and scattering cremated remains in parks as well as placing limits on rock-climbing, slacklining, and remote-controlled devices.
A resolution from Council Member Ryan Alter asks the city to invest in 'sustainable procurement practices' and a pilot program that incorporates low-carbon concrete construction and green space maintenance that uses cleaner lawn care equipment. Apparently, construction of the Zilker Metro Park Maintenance Barn Replacement has gone a bit off the rails and now will cost about two times as much to replace. Council might also approve a resolution supporting workers' rights at Google.
