Item 55 — Thursday, September 24, 2026
In plain language — from agenda source text
This amendment adds a one-year extension to the city's agreement with UT Austin to run community-based health prevention and education programs, carrying the partnership through September 30, 2027. The extension keeps existing outreach and education work going rather than letting the contract lapse. The additional cost is capped at $105,879, bringing the total agreement to no more than $1,332,813, with the new money already available in Austin Public Health's operating budget and later years depending on future budgets.
