Austin City Council · City Council Work Session · 21 Jul 2026 meeting

Look at what just happened in the Hill Country.

I mean, how much impervious cover does Uvalde have?

How much impervious cover does Comfort have?

It will flood anyway, even if you have zero impervious cover.

You've got to manage your flooding with engineering, with drainage controls, with that kind of investment.

And that's what we're doing, not just there, but everywhere.

I mean, with the Waller Creek Tunnel, with different areas, I think, again, the Mueller is a perfect example of that, where we really spent a lot of time and effort trying to manage the runoff.

So more of just a comment, not really a question, but it's just an issue that's been kind of grating at me because, again, the wonderful places in the world, the urban places in the world, pick your city, has a high level of impervious cover.

Thank you, Mayor.

Councilman, we'll add one more part to that.

So I think in the beginning of this, we now have the ability to work collaboratively to figure out the components that we really would like to have out there.

So I just wanted to add that point.

And I also want to say on behalf of the entire council, several people said it, but we have great thanks to our professional staff.

Thanks, everybody.
