Item 26 Passedunofficial
In plain language — from the agenda backup
This resolution asks the City Manager, City Clerk, and Austin Rosewood Community Development Corporation to draft an ordinance setting up a City advisory board for the Millennium Youth Entertainment Complex — the East Austin bowling and skating spot that's been a fixture for local kids since the late '90s. An advisory board would create a formal channel for community input on how the complex is run. Nothing is finalized here: the item's the paperwork step that directs staff to bring back an actual ordinance for Council to consider later.
