Item 57 — Thursday, September 24, 2026
In plain language — from agenda source text
This item extends the City's agreement with American Gateways, a nonprofit that provides legal services, by adding a 12-month extension option running through September 30, 2027. The extra year adds $378,000, bringing the total agreement to no more than $3,414,505, with the money coming from Austin Public Health's 2026-2027 operating budget. Funding for any remaining contract term depends on what future budgets allow, so the arrangement is renewed in one-year steps rather than locked in long-term.
