Austin City Council · City Council Budget Work Session · 4 Aug 2026 meeting

It is our only public facing city building outside of Zilker Park. podcast-host

Um there's a hundred thousand constituents that live in southwest Austin and it is I believe the second most circulated library in the entire library network. podcast-host

I am very mindful that having only one library here for voters to decide on um would definitely, you know, make people think about the libraries in their neighborhoods and what other investments are on the list. podcast-host

Um I know that Councilmember Harper Madison has talked about the Colony Park Branch Library numerous times. podcast-host

And we've seen from the advocates that come and and talk about how important Colony Park is to District One. podcast-host

Um, I'm fully supportive of adding in other improvements and and designs to make sure that Colony Park can podcast-host

uh truly realize the impact and investment that is so well needed and deserved in that part of town. podcast-host

So I'm certainly supportive of that. podcast-host

We don't have a lot of city buildings in Southwest Austin and so the only way that we're really going to get these detailed and prioritized investments is to specifically name where it is that we're going to invest those dollars. podcast-host

I have been a good team player for a lot of other bond proposals podcast-host

And as um we see drainage issues with other sorts of transportation projects through previous bonds. podcast-host

The ones in Southwest Austin were the first ones on the chopping block. podcast-host

And so I'm firmly committed to making sure that the dollars that are going into the city budget, that voters are deciding whether or not they want to approve are reinvested in the parts of town that don't always get that level of investment. podcast-host

But I'm perfectly happy to have a district eight and district one library investments within this bond package because I think that's a really good partnership as Councilmember Harper Madison. podcast-host

And I have had over the years. podcast-host

Um, we have seen a lot over the time that we've been sworn in and um really worked on a lot of detailed projects together and wanna make sure that we support each other through all of these different conversations. podcast-host

And podcast-host

I will say, as far as parks improvements, there's not a day that I'm out talking with neighbors that someone tells me, you know what, I think the City of Austin is investing too many dollars into our park spaces. podcast-host

It is the one department that year over year people say there's not enough investment in our park systems. podcast-host

And as the years go by, people watch their children grow up, and we might miss opportunities for them to be able to go to recreational programming and play. podcast-host
