Austin City Council · City Council Work Session · 5 May 2026 meeting

I appreciate that. podcast-host

I know we heard from some of the speakers earlier just about the communication and trying to make sure folks know what's going to be decided, when it's going to be decided, how much time they have to prepare for any changes like when to drop their kids off at daycare and where podcast-host

they might be officing if they happen to change. podcast-host

And I think as much predictability as possible and as much information as possible that can be shared well ahead of time is really going to help folks out if there's any surprise transitions coming for things like workplace. podcast-host

um we also heard from a couple of the speakers they were actually reading comments on behalf of other folks that didn't necessarily want to come and speak or share exactly who they are and what their name is through this process and so can you talk a little bit about a safe line of communication if there's needs that need to be escalated either to a department director or above their level if there are some major concerns that come through this podcast-host

Okay, that's good to know because I really want to make sure folks, you know, they speak of fear of retaliation, and I know that that is not customarily how the City of Austin treats its employees, but really want to double down on folks need to be able to communicate what it is they're experiencing in their workplace, especially with such a large staff transition that is being discussed. podcast-host

And then can you talk a little bit more about being able to be adaptable through this process? podcast-host

What does it look like if someone does bring? podcast-host

bring a concern up, how will their suggestions and their feedback be incorporated into any changes that take place? podcast-host

Oh, did you have something podcast-host

Thank you. podcast-host

I think folks are just worried and trying to cover all bases, but I know that we as an employer don't do that sort of thing. podcast-host

I'll close out my questions by just saying we've done a lot of work over the last few years about employee retention and trying to make sure that we're recruiting the best of the best and able to keep the best of the best here working at the City of Austin. podcast-host

And so I really hope as these conversations progress that podcast-host

that we keep that in mind and don't go backwards. podcast-host

Because we've had to change some of our incentives and pay scales doing market studies to try to be competitive. podcast-host

And I would hate to undo that work simply because of restructuring. podcast-host
