Item 63 Passed 10-0
In plain language — from the agenda backup
This item lets the city negotiate and sign an amendment to its long-standing partnership with Travis County, under which Austin provides public health services to county residents. The amendment covers a five-month stretch starting May 1, 2026, with a not-to-exceed amount of $3,080,810. Travis County reimburses the city for those services through a cost recovery model, so the county foots the bill rather than Austin taxpayers.
