SUMMARY:Scooters\, Bag Bans\, etc.: What's the Right Amount of Regulation?
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Common Ground for Texans –\nIf you’ve had any thoughts about the new electric scooters on Austin’s streets\, you’ll want to attend our next meeting on Saturday\, March 2! \nShould an e-scooter company be able to start operating in a city without the cooperation of local government? When should local regulators step in\, and how much regulation is the right amount? A broad question that applies to more than just scooters: Think of the ban on plastic bags at grocery stores\, or (even bigger) the land development code. \nJoin us Saturday\, March 2\, from 2:00 to 4:00\, for a panel discussion\, moderated by Mike Ignatowski\, with two city council members on opposite sides of the scooter question: \n* Allison Alter (district 10)\n* Jimmy Flannigan (district 6) \nWhen: Saturday\, March 2\, 2019\, from 2:00 to 4:00 pm\nWhere: Old Quarry Branch Library\, 7051 Village Center Dr.\, Austin\, TX 78731

SUMMARY:Water Forward Summer Series - District 10
DESCRIPTION:The City of Austin is planning for the future… and it needs your help. Our city’s water utility\, Austin Water\, is currently in the process of developing Water Forward\, a 100-year plan that will ensure that Austin has a diversified\, sustainable\, and resilient water future into the next century. \nSo how can you get involved? \nJoin Austin Water at one of their Summer Series events. The Austin Water team will be out in all ten Council Districts this summer to share more about Water Forward and listen to you! \nAnd what’s the summer without water and popsicles? Please enjoy a cool treat at every location. \nMore about Water Forward \nWhy do we need a plan?\nCurrently all of our drinking water comes from one source – the Highland Lakes\, which are fed by the Colorado River. During our last drought\, the lakes dipped to dangerously low levels and according to studies\, climate change will likely only lead to more prolonged droughts. \nSo far\, our community has already taken conservation very seriously. As Austin Water reports\, water use today is about the same as it was in the late 1990s\, despite the fact that Austin is now home to about 300\,000 more people. With the Water Forward plan\, Austin Water hopes to continue this culture of conservation into the future\, while looking for new and innovative water supply sources and conservation measures. More info>> \n– – EVENTS – – \nVisit us at any of the events listed below. *Children’s activities will be available. Must be accompanied by an adult. \nSAT 7/8 11:30 am – 1:00 pm \nSoutheast Branch Library – District 2 \nSAT 7/15 2:30 pm – 4:00 pm\nMilwood Branch Library -District 7 \nMON 7/17 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm\nSpicewood Springs Branch Library – District 6 \nWED 7/19 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm\nTwin Oaks Branch Library – District 9 \nSAT 7/22 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm\nLittle Walnut Creek Branch Library – District 4 \nSAT 7/29 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm\nRuiz Branch Library – District 3 \nMON 7/31 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm\nOld Quarry Branch Library – District 10 \nSAT 8/5 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm\nHampton Branch Library -District 8 \nTUE 8/8 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm\nManchaca Branch Library – District 5 \nSAT 8/12 11:00 am – 12:30 pm\nWindsor Park Branch Library – District 1 \n– – MORE INFORMATION – – \nFor more information about Water Forward and to sign up for our electronic newsletter\, visit www.austintexas.gov/waterforward \n
