The Travis County Commissioners Court meets at 9 a.m. Tuesday. In the interest of space, we’ve decided not to post the entire agenda here. The County Clerk’s office hosts a copy at its website.
Items of interest include:
11. Consider and take appropriate action on Travis County appointee to the City of Austin Animal Advisory Commission. (Judge Eckhardt)
Monitor’s Take: An affirmative vote on this item would endorse Judge Sarah Eckhardt’s proposal to Austin Mayor Steve Adler that would create a new position on the Animal Advisory Commission that would represent a “small municipality, village, or township within Travis County” according to the backup material.
17. Consider and take appropriate action on the proposed Civil and Family Courts Complex project update including: A) Amendment to the AECOM contract to perform valuation services for the south portion of the block; and B) Other financial and legal considerations.
Monitor’s Take: The proposed Civil and Family Courthouse is a $292 million project that will likely take center-stage during the approach to Election Day 2015. Any change in the agreement with the engineering firm AECOM could create a significant civic splash.
