Item 3 Passedunofficial
In plain language — from the agenda backup
This item green-lights an agreement with the Quality of Life Foundation to run the Emerging Leader Summer Internship Program. The program gives young Austinites a paid-summer foothold in the local workforce, the kind of early rung that's hard to reach without a connection. The agreement caps out at $50,000, already set aside in the Economic Development Department's Fiscal Year 2025-2026 operating budget.
