Item 41 No final action

In plain language — from the agenda backup

This resolution backs the "application rationalization" piece of the city's One ATS initiative — essentially streamlining the software and systems Austin uses to get work done. At the same time, it tells the City Manager to hit pause on any department shake-ups or employee transfers tied to One ATS until Council gets enough information to sign off on those moves. In short, Council wants the tech cleanup to proceed but is putting a hold on the people-and-org changes until it gets a fuller picture.

The official agenda language

Approve a resolution supporting implementation of the “application rationalization” element of the One ATS initiative and directing the City Manager to postpone any departmental reorganizations or employee transfers associated with the One ATS initiative until such time as Council is presented with sufficient information to justify those aspects of the initiative and until Council affirmatively approves their implementation.

The official voting record does not show a final action.
