Item 71 Passedunofficial
In plain language — from the agenda backup
This resolution signs off on the police chief's picks for Austin's police reserve force — a group the chief can tap to back up the regular force when the city needs extra hands. It's required under City Code Chapter 2-17 and Texas Local Government Code Section 341.012. The item has no fiscal impact, since reserve positions are paid through Austin Police payroll and fully reimbursed by third-party vendors through special-event fees.
